CHOICE OF THE CHOSEN.
Summary: Anakin is taken prisoner when the fight with Dooku ends badly; Dooku takes him to a remote planet where he is tortured in an attempt to sway him to the dark side.
When Anakin reveals Palpatine's true nature, Padme takes control of the Senate; while the Jedi hunt Palpatine after he escapes.
PROLOGUE.
Anakin stared at the Chancellor in horror as the truth dawned on him, "you're the Sith Lord." He couldn't believe it, his closest friend; was really his enemy.
"He will reveal us to the republic master," Dooku said firmly, "we should kill him now."
Palpatine shook his head, "no," he smiled at Anakin evilly, "no, I do not think so." His gaze drifted to Dooku, "he will be a great ally."
"I'll never join you!" Anakin said defiantly, "I am a Jedi and I will destroy you!"
"Unfortunately I cannot allow that," the lightning struck him with deadly force, enveloping him in instant agony. Crumpling to the ground, Anakin screamed as his body burned with pain. "I will not permit you to ruin my plans," the chancellor's voice was harsh and cruel, filled with anger and hate.
As the pain intensified, Anakin howled; every fibre of his body seared with agony.
"Take him," Palpatine's voice was dim and distant, "take him and turn him to the dark side."
"It will be done, my Master," Dooku's words were the last thing he heard before he sunk into a void of black.

Dooku walked out of the ship, levitating Anakin behind him. This had been an unforseen complication, all however was not lost, the only thing he needed to do was force Anakin Skywalker to turn to the dark side of the force; then his master could set his plans into motion.
SW
By the time Obiwan managed to land the smoking remains of the ship, the entire Senate and the Jedi order had been alerted to Anakin's capture. Palpatine had told him what had occurred on the ship after he had been knocked out; how Dooku had overpowered Anakin and then fled, taking Anakin with him.
