"You came to arrest him," Anakin reminded Mace before tightening his grip on Mace's lightsaber arm. "He has to stand trial." Anakin pleaded with the Jedi Master. His desperation was easy to hear in his voice to all except Windu apparently. (Anakin really should not have been surprised by that.)

"A trail would be a joke. He controls the courts. He controls the Senate." That was true but Anakin needed him alive. He had lost too much - his mother to the Tusken Raiders because he hadn't arrived early enough, Ahsoka to the Order that, unjustly, had turned their backs on her when she needed them the most- he would not lose Padme and their child too. While Palpatine may control the courts and the Senate the Sith did not control the Jedi and that was what mattered. Couldn't Windu see that?

"So are you going to kill them too?" Anakin questioned Mace incredulously. "Like he said you would." Mace yanked his arm free of Anakin's ever tightening grip. Anakin frowned. He needed to find another way to hold Mace back from killing Palpatine as he tried reasoning with the man.

"He's too dangerous to be left alive. If you could have taken out Dooku alive, would you have?"
Anakin's face swept blank and Anakin controlled the urge to stumble back in shock. He had had the chance to take Dooku in alive and he chose not to because Palpatine - a Sith- had told him not to. Kriff. That realization somehow hurt more than his arm getting chopped off.

"That was different-"

"You can explain the difference after his death." Mace lifted his lightsaber to strike down Anakin's only hope of saving Padme and suddenly Anakin Skywalker, the hero with no fear, knew no more.

When Anakin comes to he's staring at himself. He honestly can't help it because it's not like he's
Looking at the mirror in in a refresher. No, he's staring at his actually self. Like a ...what was saying the he had heard be used to describe the feeling of using death sticks by that underage Twi'lek? An out of body experience; that was it. Anakin was having what he could only describe as a out of body experience. That or another vision in his dreams.

Anakin hoped it was the former because he could surely change (like he was going to do for Padme's death he had seen in his previous visions) what was happening now. (If it was an just a vision.) Anakin watched in disgust as his….body dropped to floor and bowed his head as Palpatine commanded him to do.

"It is your will to join your destiny forever with the Order of the Sith Lords?" There was a kriff that went along with that no.

"Yes." No it was not Anakin's destiny to join the Sith. He was suppose to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force. To the galaxy. Kriff sakes let this be another vision, Anakin begged silently. A vision he would hopefully be waking up from any minute now.

"Then it is done. You are now one of the Dark Lords of the Sith. From this day forward, the truth of you, my apprentice-"

"I'm not you apprentice," Anakin snarled at the two occupants of the room. Wait a second. Two occupants of the room. What happened to Mace. Anakin suddenly had a bad feeling. Oh force. Anyone who knew them both knew they did not get along but Anakin didn't want him dead.

"now and forevermore, will be Darth Vader." Vader? What exactly did Vader mean?

...Well least it sounded better than Darth Maul.

"Thank you, Master."

"Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, have been revealed as enemies of Republic. You understand that, don't you?" Palpatine asked in that kindly (now sickening) grandfather voice of his.

Oh I understand perfectly, Anakin thought. The Jedi are not enemies of the Republic they're your enemies. Force how could he had trusted this man more than he had trusted his fellow Jedi. More than Obi-Wan? Because he was the only, besides Padme and Artoo, one that freely showed that he cared about you, Anakin realised. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka did care about him (and him them) but they were bound to Jedi code. Well had been in Ahsoka's case.

"Yes, my Master."

"The Jedi are relentless. If they are destroyed to the last being, there will be civil war without end. To sterilize the Jedi Temple will be your first task. Do you what must be done, Lord Vader."

"I always have, my Master." Sterilize the Jedi Temple? Anakin was going to be sick. Thankfully most of the Jedi were not currently residing in Temple but what was sickened Anakin was the fact the innocent youngling were going to 'sterilized.' It may not be Jedi of me but I do hope you die slowly in agony, Anakin thought.

"Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Leave no living creature behind. Only then will you be strong enough with the dark side to save Padme." Anakin did want to save Padme but to kill innocent younglings and Jedi who made it their lives effort to bring peace to the galaxy? Anakin knew Padme wouldn't want him to do that to save her. So what in kriff was his other self thinking exactly.

"What of the other Jedi?" Anakin perked up at that question.

"Leave them to me. After you finished at the Temple, your second task will be the Separatist leadership, in their 'secret bunker' on Mustafar. When you kill them all, the Sith will rule the galaxy once more, and we shall have peace. Forever. Rise, Darth Vader."

Anakin had a bad feeling about this.


A/N: I own nothing. If I did there would be an Ahsoka live action movie by now.

Four things you need to know:

1. This was not my plot bunny. It was actually minhui who came up with it and gave me the permission to write it.

2. No one can see Anakin yet. Force users will be able to see Anakin later in the story though.

3. I based it mostly on Matthew Stover's novel Revenge of Sith instead of watching the actually Revenge of Sith because it was quicker (my parents own the book as well as the movie).

4. Updates depend on me not angering my parents because if I do anger them they'll turn off the internet for my laptop. :(
