Part 1 March on the Temple

As Vader and the 501st Legion entered the Jedi Temple, there was one thing going through all troopers' minds: "The Jedi are traitors and have to die for the good of the Republic". Vader signaled to Captain Rex, "Rex, have the troops spread out through the temple and start executing these traitors." "Yes sir", Rex said and gave the command to the 501st as Vader made his way to the council chamber to kill the younglings. The Jedi were shocked to see the clones they trusted start to gun down their fellow Jedi, but they were even more shocked to see the Jedi who was the chosen one strike down his Jedi comrades. Vader and Rex were back to back holding off Jedi coming at them. Rex was making good use of his twin pistols and was blasting Jedi left and right while Vader simultaneously used his lightsaber and force skills to kill Jedi. Vader was fending off a knight when a padawan started to charge at him from behind, but Vader's anger and hatred fueled his power and the padawan was killed with a quick force choke before he could land a blow while the knight was struck down almost instantly after the padawan. The section of the temple Vader was in was now cleared of Jedi. Vader deactivated his lightsaber and became distracted by pride over his kills and didn't see the knight jumping from the floor above him to strike. But the knight received two shots in the torso and hit the ground with his now deactivated lightsaber near him. Vader heard the shots and turned to see the knight fall to the ground and cursed himself for being so easily distracted and told himself to work on that, and then he noticed who shot the knight. "Impressive, most impressive," he said, "nice shot Rex." "Thank you sir, it is my duty of course" said Rex. Rex's wrist communicator chirped and he answered, "Report….good….hmm, I see…..I'll inform Lord Vader, Over." "What is it Rex?" Vader asked. "Sir, a certain Jedi is putting up quite a fight and the troops are having trouble….Sir, its Ahsoka." Vader reached out with the Force and looked towards where he sensed his old padawan was. He started for her location and activated his lightsaber as he told Rex "Leave her to me."
