A/N: This idea just popped into my head, and I thought, "Why not?"

Corusant, Palpatine's Office…
Anakin Skywalker watched as lightning shot out of Palpatine's hands, and towards Jedi Master Mace Windu.
"Anakin!" grunted Windu, "help me end this!"
"Anakin, help me," said the Supreme Chancellor weakly, "I-I can't hold on much longer, help me, so I can save your wife."
The winds surged through the broken window, the clash of Sith Lightning and Mace's purple blade casted a ghostly light upon the crimson red walls. It seemed to represent the stark choices presented to the young Jedi.
Anakin remembered the dreams, he remembered seeing the life fade away from Padme, but he didn't know why she was dying. He was determined to do anything to save her.
Time seemed to slow down to a stand still for him to make his choice. If he was to save Palpatine, that would mean he'd have to kill Windu and become a sith. And becoming a sith would mean to kill all his friends in the Jedi Order.
Yet if he was to help Windu, the sith threat would end, the galaxy would find peace, and may be spend the rest of his time with his beloved wife. Anakin wondered how far he would go to save Padme. Maybe too far.
Time began to quicken, Skywalker had made his choice and hoped for the best. He called upon the hilt of his saber and ignited it as it landed into the palm of his hand.
"Forgive me," he whispered as he strode across the blood red carpets and across the shards of broken glass, but the irony of the situation was lost upon him.
Anakin could see Palpatine's eyes widened in horror. The scarred face showed defeat and grief, before twisting in agony and pain as the lightsaber pierced his side.
Skywalker watched as Palpatine's body go limp, and the lightning ceased. Everything went silent, except for the howl of the winds.
"Thank you, Anakin," gasped Windu.

Utapau…
Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi stood upon the charred landing pad and monitored the mop-up of the city. Sporadic weapons fire could be heard in the distance as the last pockets of resistance were being wiped out.
"General," called Commander Cody, "General Windu wishes to speak to you."
"Thank you Cody," said Obi-Wan as he rubbed his beared.
He then keyed in a few commands into a communications console, the holo-projector flickered for a few moments before Windu and Anakin appeared.
"Anakin, Master Windu," greeted Kenobi.
"Obi-Wan, after you've finished on Utapau, return to the Jedi Temple immediately."
"Yes Master."

A/N: I've always had some strange difficulty writing Star Wars fic. Writing about other Sci-Fi or Thrillers comes naturally, but Star Wars, it is challenging.
Well, now, I expected either an overwhelming amount of flame, or miscellaneous reviews.
