CHAPTER ONE

DEEP IN THE CORE Worlds of outer space, on the Capital planet of Corrusaunt, Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, and Kit Fisto were on their way to the office of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's office. Their goal is to arrest the Chancellor after getting a tip from Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker suggesting that he was the Sith Lord the Jedi have been hunting since the beginning of the Clone Wars.

"Ah, Master Windu. I take it General Grievous was destroyed," said the Chancellor.

"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest," threatened Master Windu, while they all activated their lightsabers.

"Are you threatening me Master Windu?"

"The Senate will decide your fate."

"I am the Senate."

"Not yet."

"This is treason." Palpatine stood up and pulled a lightsaber out of his sleeve and activated its bright red blade.

He jumped off his seat in a twirl and pointed his lightsaber at the Jedi. He surprised Master Kolar when he quickly turned and stabbed him with his lightsaber. Then in a flash he turned and killed Saesee Tiin. Turning toward Master Windu and attempted to stab him but hit sabers instead. Master Fisto joined in and hit sabers with the Chancellor. The Chancellor turned hit sabers with Master Windu, turned and hit Master Fisto's saber. The two Jedi turned in a circle and smacked sabers with the Chancellor and then the Chancellor killed master Fisto.

Master Windu was left to take care of. The Chancellor started clashing sabers with Master Windu forcing him down the hallway. They walked into the hallway where the rest of the fight was started by Master Windu jabbing his saber at the Chancellor at his. They clashed about three times, and then Master Windu turned in a circle and hit sabers with the Chancellor. Then the Chancellor twirled his saber three times and hit with each turn. And when he got a hold on his saber he turned in a circle and tried to hit Windu's back but hit saber before Windu turned back around and swung at his head.

They charged at each other and locked sabers. They held the lock for a good two minutes, glaring at each other with a challenging look. At the same time, Anakin had landed his speeder at the Chancellors office, and started walking in to make sure Master Windu didn't kill the Chancellor.

Back inside, Palpatine and Master Windu had broken their lock. They raised their sabers over their heads, and swung at each other a moment later. They hit above their heads, then walking towards each other hit between their sides, and back above their heads. They stepped away from each other and Master Windu started charging and swinging at the same time. Palpatine walked until he got cornered by a light on the floor. He jumped on top of it, hit sabers with Windu, rolled down it onto the floor, hit sabers again, and then got forced back even farther.

Master Windu moved sideways after cornering the Chancellor beside a window. They twirled their sabers and hit a few times before Master Windu swung and broke the window. The Chancellor charged at him and ducked as Master Windu swung to hit his head. They turned toward each other and the Chancellor swung at Master Windu, blocked another swing, and then attempted to stab him. Master Windu hit Palpatine's saber out of the way and slid beside him. Palpatine swung a few more times before Master Windu kicked his lightsaber out the window and knocked him down.

Palpatine crawled over next to the edge of the window while Master Windu pointed his lightsaber at him. "You are under arrest, my Lord," he said to the frightened Chancellor.

Anakin walked into the room in time to find the Chancellor shivering with fear at the sight of the lightsaber's purple blade. The chancellor noticed Anakin walking in the room. "Anakin, I told you the Jedi wanted to assassinate me."

"The oppression of the Sith will never return," threatened Master Windu. "You've lost, Chancellor."

"No, no, no you have lost, Master Jedi," said Palpatine before shooting a violent storm of Force Lightning at Master Windu who lifted his lightsaber to block the lightning storm.

"He's a traitor," said Palpatine, still shooting the deadly lightning storm at Master Windu.

"He's the traitor Anakin," said Master Windu. He turned his lightsaber and started reflecting the lightning back onto the Chancellor, which started to deform his face and hands.

"No, don't let him kill me," said the weakened Chancellor. "I can't hold on much longer." He stopped shooting the lightning and Master Windu pointed his saber back into the Chancellors face. "Anakin help, I…I can't hold on much longer."

"No, it's time to end this war," Said Master Windu.

"You can't," said Anakin. "He must stand trial."

"He controls the Senate and the Courts," Master Windu said back. "He's to dangerous to live."

"I'm too weak," said the Chancellor in a weak voice. "Don't kill me, please."

"It's not the Jedi way," said Anakin. "He must live. I need him."

Master Windu raised his lightsaber and swung down at the Chancellor. "NO!" yelled Anakin as he grabbed his lightsaber and cut off Master Windu's arm. Master Windu's lightsaber fell out the window and down the side of the building.

The Chancellor Started shooting another deadly lightning storm at the defenseless Jedi. "POWER!" he screamed while shooting the lightning. And with a last burst of Force energy, he through Master Windu out the window and to his ultimate doom.

"What have I done?" said Anakin sitting down.

"You're starting to fulfill your destiny," said the Chancellor as he stood up. "Now become my apprentice and learn to use the Dark Side of the Force."

"Anything to save Padme'. I can't live without her."

"Cheating death is a power only one has found the secret to. But if we work together, we can discover it also."

"I dedicate myself to your teachings, My Lord."

"Good, good. The Force is strong in you, and you will become a very powerful Sith. And from now on, you will be known as Darth Vader."

"Thank you, Master Sidious."

"Rise, Lord Vader." The Chancellor took some pins off his cloak and put a hood over his head. "Because the Jedi didn't trust you, I believe you were the only Jedi uninformed about this plot. We must destroy all the others before they try to finish the attack that happened here. And every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, and your apprentice Ahsoka Tano, are all enemies of the Republic."

"I understand, Master," said Vader.

"First, I want you to go to the Jedi temple and kill all the Jedi their. Take a battalion of clones, and show no mercy."

"What about the other Jedi spread across the Galaxy?"

"Their betrayal will be dealt with. And after you clear out the Temple, go to the Mustafa system and kill off all the separatist leaders. Once more the Sith will rule the Galaxy; and finally bring peace."

Anakin left the temple and went to the facility that holds all the clone troopers. He ordered all of them to follow him to the temple to deal with the Jedi betrayal.
