Hey there everyone, My name is the501stclonetroops and welcome back to another fanfiction that I will be writing about. Yes I know, I just started a fanfiction not that long ago, and yet I'm going to be writing about another one. Don't worry though, the second chapter to Divergent is about 90% done as of this moment, all I need to do is read it over, and hammer down the last few kinks. As you can tell from the title, this will be about star wars and order 66, but what if it failed? What if most of the Jedi made it out of the temple and survived? That is what this fanfiction will showcase, at least in my opinion how it would have played out. Hope you enjoy.
Mace Windu, Jedi Master, was free falling down toward the surface of Corusant. He just tried, and failed, to assassinate the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. He would have succeeded, had Anakin Skywalker not have interfered, cut off his hand, and Sidious push him out the window. Mace, in pain, was trying to look for a way out. He found it to his left as a speeder was going to pass right under him. He had to take the chance, and raced down towards the speeder in hopes that he would survive and warn the Jedi.
As time went on, the speeder got closer and closer. At the last moment, Master Windu forced pushed himself to the speeder and landed in the back safely. The driver was caught by surprise, but noticed that it was a Jedi that had landed, a and looked hurt. He wouldn't ask questions, the Jedi were protectors, he should be giving his gratitude, and right now, he would need to take him to the Jedi temple for help.
Master Windu would take a moment or two to readjust to the pain, and focus on his mission to save the Jedi. When he looked up from the seat, he noticed that the speeder changed directions heading towards the Jedi temple, and so he didn't really have to worry, but still made his way into the front seat. He gave a sign of gratitude, and tried to relax.
In a less than 5 minutes, the speeder landed at the temple, and the driver helped Windu out of the speeder, and started to make their way into the temple. Once inside, other Jedi noticed the pair, and went to go help. 2 Jedi took Master Windu to the medical area, while another thanked the driver, who was then given some credits, though he did try and refuse the pay, and was sent on his way back into the city.
Once Master Windu was patched up, he went to go and tell the other Jedi Masters his discovery, and to warn them of what was to come. He made his way into the council chambers( I have no idea what it's actually called.) and when the other masters entered the room, he made the call to the other Jedi. When they all answered, he gave his story.
"Troubling this is. Wipe out the Jedi, let him, we must not." said Grand Master Yoda. Everyone gave a nod of conformation, and started to ponder on how to deal with this problem. Then, Jedi Master Kid-Adi-Mundi spoke up.
"What if we initiate Order 65? Yes I know that the Senate is the one to actually give out the order, but what if we tell and lie, just to help in the arrest? If we do, we must first give the order to the 501st Legion. They are the ones stationed on Corusant at this moment. they will be the ones to arrest the Chancellor."
When he was done, the other master thought for a minute, before they all agreed on the motion, and went to go set it into place. "To be on the safe side, go and tell the other Jedi to give the order to their troopers, that way they are not turned against us in some way or form, along with removing the chips that are installed into each clone, they may be the cause of the manipulation that would have been set into motion." Master Windu had said before he closed down the channel and went to do just that with the clones stationed on Corusant.
ooOO0OOoo
As Anakin and Darth Sidious were discussing all that was to happen, Anakin would take the 501st and destroy the Jedi temple, and to prove his loyalty, he would kill the younglings to show his full commitment to the dark side. Darth Sidious would give order 66 to all major clones with Jedi generals, and once Anakin returned from the massacre that would no doubt take place, he would officially take him as an apprentice and name him Darth Vader. He may have already named him by that, but he could still sense the conflict that was raging on inside of him.
Before they went to do their designated tasks, commander Rex along with a dozen or so other clones rushed into the room, weapons raised. They all stayed a bit a ways from the two as they were informed of them being Sith, and very dangerous. "Darth Sidious and Anakin Skywalker, by order of the Jedi council, you are both placed under arrest for treason of the Republic, and for what it stands for, along with the deaths of countless Jedi, clones, and civilians alike across the galaxy. You are to place down your weapons, or be executed right where you stand." Rex said in a forceful voice. He respected Anakin Skywalker, but this Sith lord, this war monger, had forever changed that man that was once his General. All that was left was a shell of the man he once knew.
"Commander Rex, stand down, right now. You have no authorization to do such an act against the chancellor of the Republic." Darth Vader said to him, who was surprised that the Jedi found out that Chancellor Palpatine was actually a Sith lord, and how they were able to enact on a plan so quickly. Non the less, you would quickly stop this small mutiny and take down the Jedi before anyone else was told of this development.
"You are no longer a General of the GAR, and you have no control over us. Our new general is Ahsoka Tano, who was recently promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight due to your fall to the Dark side." Rex had told them, and it was a stretch of the truth. In reality, Ahsoka was the new General in charge, but she would not be given the rank of Jedi Knight till another week, after the situation had hopefully been resolved. Still, it was all the same.
"Commander Rex, execute order 66, go and do as you are told, rally the rest of the 501st. I will deal with this shortly." Darth Sidious told them. Imagine his shock when they not only disobeyed his command, but also shot him! He was so confident that his orders would be obeyed, that his guard was drastically let down. He could only look on in shock as he was sent to the floor with a hole in his chest. It was not enough to kill the Sith lord, but it was enough to incapacitate him and leave him virtually defenseless.
Before any more damage could be done, Darth Vader sent a very powerful forcepush towards the clones, which sent them sprawling all over the room. He then quickly picked up his new master, and ran out of the room to his masters starship. As they were making their escape, Darth Vader ran into some of the Jedi that were sent to make sure they didn't escape. Of those that were included were Master Yoda, and Master Windu, along with 4 other Jedi Knights he had seen in the temple.
Before the fighting broke out however, and Republic LAAT had appeared out of no where, and was filled with clone troopers that would stay loyal to the Sith lord. They had brought down the LAAT and engaged not only the 6 Jedi, but also their fellow brothers in a firefight. Darth Vader was able to bring Darth Sidious to the gunship, and got on board as well. The rest of the rebel clones, fell back to the gunship, with their numbers cut in half, and made their escape. A set of LAAT's followed them to a Venator Class Star Destroyer, whose crew was either made up of the so called 'Loyalists' or if they were not loyalists, were disposed of, and made their escape to the one planet that was safe for all of them at this moment in time, Mustafar.
Masters Yoda and Windu could only look at the ship as it went into hyperspace, and rallied the remaining clones and fall back to the temple. They would tell the rest of the council of what had transpired this night, along with the Senate the following morning, and decide what to do, now that they knew just who was responsible for the war. Only time would tell if the future of the Jedi and the Republic was to be bright, or to be plunged into an eternal darkness.
And that is the end of this chapter. A trend that most will see in future fanfics is that the first 2 or 3 chapters will be the shortest ones throughout the story and I like to keep it that way as it gives me some time to come up with better bases to bounce off of and make better and better chapters for my stories in the future. Anyways, the next chapter will mostly contain the plans for Darth Sidious and the war between the Republic and the CIS. I will also like to add in the Halo universe sometime in the future, not all of it, but maybe just the crew from Halo wars 1 and 2, along with Noble Six, because I love his character, and I hate how they killed him off. He would have left with the Autumn, and throughout the whole series, he take is the one left stranded in space and John makes it back to UNSC space. Cortana will be with Noble Six however. I just like the pair. Anyways, as a fellow write says, Write On!
