"Good Anakin, good!" Palpatine said with pride with a short laugh afterwards, "Kill him. Kill him now."

Anakin knew that this wasn't right. Master Yoda, Master Windu, even his own Master would give Dooku a second chance. Therefore,

Anakin said, "I shouldn't."

Palpatine, now a little more menacingly, ordered, "Do it."

No, he couldn't do it. Dooku is unarmed. If he tried anything, Anakin could simply beat him to unconsciousness. No, he wouldn't do it.

"No, I will not, Palpatine."

"Do it. He cut off your hand. Do it now!"

True, Dooku did cut off his hand, but he got a new one. So it isn't all that bad.

"With all due respect, I will not do such a thing." Anakin then turned off his lightsabers.

"Then you will die."

Suddenly with a lightsaber in his hand, Palpatine lunged at Anakin. Anakin luckily dodged the attack,

and used the Force to push Palpatine away from Dooku or the crushed Obi Wan. Palpatine collided with the attack,

and he was blown onto the blacony nearby. Anakin used the Force to quickly jump on the balcony and continue the fight.

"I am Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith. You will not stop me."

After Palpatine had said these words, he picked up some of the debree Dooku caused earlier, and threw it at Anakin. Anakin changed its direction so

it would hit Palpatine. The debree then hit the door next to them and bashed it down. Grabbing Anakin with the Force, Palpatine threw Anakin into the doorway.

Anakin quickly got up and dodged another of Palpatine's attacks.

\\\\

Dooku hurt.

His own Master tried to kill him. What would have happened if Anakin complied and killed him. Dooku shuddered at the thought.

He wondered about what he would do after it all, if he even survived. The Sith would not be a good idea. He could be killed or worse. That leaves the Jedi;

the fools who could not see that Palpatine was a Sith. Even so, the Jedi would welcome him back, it would be a satisfactory idea, and he could fix his hands.

He could hear the lightsabers in the adjacent room and then they quickly stopped. Dooku ran over to the room and found Anakin on the floor, with Palpatine

standing over him. Fortunately, Anakin was not dead yet, so Dooku could have revenge. Dooku then used the Force to get Palpatine in the back.

Palpatine had a look of shock on him, and then the Sith Lord crumpled to the floor. Shortly after this, Dooku went unconscious.

\\\\

Anakin was fortunate for Dooku to eliminate Darth Sidious. Anakin had lost his lightsaber, however, the Sith Lord was still alive,

even after that last attack! Palpatine was severely weakened though, and would not live for much longer, ten, maybe fifteen minutes at the most.

Then Palpatine spoke, "I am defeated. You would have become a powerful Sith, if you acted differently."

Palpatine slowly stood up, and then spoke again, "The CIS was part of my plan. Not only was it to destroy the Jedi,

but also for destroying another enemy I have known for a long time."

Palpatine then leaned against a wall, and subsequently sat on the floor. Anakin then said, "What is this enemy?"

Palpatine replied, "I have a request for you, Anakin. You need to destroy the CIS first, yes,

but there is another menace that is planning a war on the galaxy. You, and the Republic, need to destroy both factions."

Anakin then asked again, "But what is this enemy?"

Palpatine then said, "The enemy are these certain kinds of beings. They attacked Zonama Seknot. Vegere joined them to keep them away from the Republic.

You know of them, yes?"

Anakin knew the mission that he had on Zonama Seknot. Apparently the inhabitants of some mysterious race attacked them.

"Be sure to do this Anakin. You're my only hope." Then Palpatine slumped to the floor. Anakin stood there for a few moments, and then picked up Obi Wan and

Count Dooku, and then proceeded to leaving the CIS ship.

\\\\

Dooku awoke in a bacta tank. He apparently was in a white room, and he saw three Jedi by the door of the room. Dooku could not hear what they were saying,

so he just concentrated on healing. Then one of the Jedi, Mace Windu, came over to his tank, and the Jedi Master said, "Dooku, you have killed the leader of

the CIS." The Master paused for a few seconds, and then added, "Would you like to join the Order again?"

Dooku thought about what he should respond. Dooku said yes, and then after he recieved new hands and was totally healed, Dooku went to the Jedi Temple

briefing room. He sat and listened that he, with Anakin and Obi Wan, are to destroy General Grievous. Still, he was happy. He was a Jedi once more.

\\\\

Anakin was staring at General Grievous. The two other Jedi were next to Anakin, and they all had their lightsabers ignited.

The General had been expecting them. Republic Intelligence found him, so the three Jedi came to the planet, Utapau, navigated the stronghold, and now he is in

front of the trio.

"You won't escape," Obi Wan said.

"I am much stronger than you Grievous," Dooku said menacingly, "you have no chance."

"Attack!" Anakin shouted.

The three Jedi lunged at Grievous, and the cyborg pushed them away with his lightsabers. Grievous concentrated on Master Kenobi, and then Obi Wan

was thrown of the ledge to a lower platform below. Dooku made a decapitating strike, but Grievous dodged the attack and fell down with Kenobi.

The two Jedi above used the Force to jump down to him.

"You have no chance Jedi! I will crush you all!"

Grievous then jumped towards Kenobi. Kenobi blocked the attack but Grievous threw Kenobi at a wall. This knocked Obi Wan out. Grievous then saw that

Anakin and Dooku used the Force to throw their sabers towards the cyborg. Grievous rolled away, but it was too late; he fell off the facility. The two Jedi saw the

cyborg fall to the ground, and went he hit, he did not move. Grievous was defeated.

\\\\

Dooku felt that the fight with Grievous was very easy. All that was left was the Sepratist Council. He knew where they were.

Due to the Jedi's combined stealth, the Council should still be in a control room somewhere, waiting. Anakin couldn't go, he had to take care of Obi Wan.

Therefore, Dooku ordered Anakin, "Stay here and help Obi Wan. Bring him back to the shuttle if you can. I can deal with the CIS here." Then Dooku used

the Force to leap up to a control room.

\\\\

Anakin took Obi Wan to a shuttle. Then he wondered what to do. What were the beings that Palpatine spoke of when he was dying? Then he remembered. Anakin, then went to the shuttle, and

used the radar to check a specific sector outside the galaxy. He then saw them on the screen; millions of ships planning to invade the universe. He then wondered about what one could do against

them. After this, because he was sure Dooku could find a flight, Anakin prepped the engines and left the planet to warn the Council.
