Chapter 1 Padme joins Dooku
Anakin and Padme got caught and brought to Count Dooku. Anakin was now surprised that the former Jedi would join the Separatists. The young Jedi was prepared for everything. He knew that they were about to be killed soon and he hoped that it happened quickly.
"Count Dooku, I knew that it was you behind the Separatists"
"Yes, although I still wonder why Gunray is so mad at you for spoiling his plans. Everything went as my Master wanted."
"Your Master?"
"Yes, I am but a Sith Apprentice. My Master, Lord Sidious controls the Senate."
"What? Jedi Would have known about that"
"Young Skywalker, the Dark Side clouds their judgment. They are but the fools."
"You were a Jedi once Count, what made you change your loyalties?"
"Jedi and Republic are wrong. The Senate has a lot of corruption."
"Isn't' Trade Federation corrupt too?"
"They know their place when I command them. Now, I would like to give you an offer to join Separatists cause."
"Why do you think I would? I am loyal to Republic!"
"Because if you will not, I will have to use stronger methods. You see, Lord Sidious thinks that you should be a part of the Separatists' Alliance. And it would be a pity to see Naboo become invaded again and this time totally obliterating its population to extinction. I will show you, Senator Amidala, that Republic is wrong!"
Padme thought. If she did not join Dooku, her home planet would get destroyed and it would be her fault. If Naboo did join, she would get many enemies, especially the Chancellor. Both ways had bad consequences but Padme decided to chose the lesser of the two evils.
"I will join your cause, Count. But I demand that Master Kenobi was allowed to go away."
"You made a wise choice, young Senator. I will let Master Kenobi go. Skywalker, what about you? Are you going with Master Kenobi?"
"I am a Jedi and I really do not like this situation. If it were up to me, I would strike you down. But I was assigned to protect the Senator and I will not leave her alone. I must stay even if I do not like this idea."
"I wish in future you will see that I was right. Now, excuse me, I need to let Kenobi go as well as contact my Master. And, Senator, if I see that you are liar, you can say good-bye to your planet. O, and this is for you Skywalker."
Dooku threw him a new lightsaber, since Anakin broke his last one. After that Dooku left. Padme sat in a chair wondering if she chose a right thing.
"Don't worry honey, everything will be alright."
The two looked at each other.
"Padme I love you!"
"Anakin, we cannot be together"
"Angel, I am not a Jedi anymore and I don't need to follow their archaic code"
They kissed. A droid soon arrived and showed them their quarters. In Dooku's room, the Count contacted Darth Sidious.
"What is the matter, Lord Tyrannus?"
"The boy has joined us. Even though he did not do so voluntarily, he will be of good use to us. And perhaps he will decided to be a real Sith later."
"Good, my apprentice. Prepare for a big battle, a big army is arriving and you should retreat. But kill as many Jedi as you can."
Later Count Dooku called the Separatists Council and made an announcement.
"A former Republic Senator decided to join our cause. Now, Naboo system is with us."
"You!" Nute Gunray was unhappy and very angry. He wanted to kill Padme but Dooku stopped him.
"Also, I would like to put Anakin Skywalker as a Supreme General of the Droid Army. Skywalker, your advisor and partner would arrive shortly. Now, we need to prepare for a battle, the Republic is going to attack us."
