I had finished this series before, but somehow got deleted. I will try to post it all again, all 183 chapters...

Prologue

The Clone Wars seem to be coming to an end! At the Battle of Coruscant where Chancellor Palpatine was kidnapped, Count Dooku was killed by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker during their rescue mission. The cyborg supreme commander of the Droid Army, General Grievous, is now the head of state for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Many were starting to hope that the war would come to a close. The droid general had no experience and judgement in leading the entire Confederacy. With Grievous still alive and fighting, the Galactic Republic government pushes to continue the war and see to it that Grievous is defeated. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to confront General Grievous on the planet Utapau however the battle was short lived; as Grievous escaped once again…

Office of the Supreme Chancellor

Jedi Master Mace Windu confronted Chancellor Palpatine on his dual identity of being the Sith lord; Darth Sidious. Mace had gone to the office during the evening with few other skillful masters, such as Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin. All of the Jedi, except for Mace Windu, were struck down by Sidious' swift and deadly moves. The old man continuously swung and sliced his blood red lightsaber at Master Windu, however, the younger warrior was able to block all of his blows. Mace Windu pushed his violet saber up against Sidious as he pushed forward as well. Darth Sidious was losing strength, and cringed his face from exerting so much energy.

The two battled into the private office of the Chancellor where the beautifully lit cityscape of Coruscant gave light into the room. The two fought over to the panoramic window, continuing to swing and strike at each other. Mace managed to knock the Sith Lord down, broke the glass window, and cornered him to the edge of the windowsill. Windu pointed his violet lightsaber at the frail old man who was breathless,

"The tyranny of the Sith is finally over! You have been defeated Sidious!" shouted Mace Windu, nearly out of breath from the fight. Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker rushed into the room surprised. The young man looked at Windu and Palpatine desperately, trying to process what was going on. Deep down, he knew what he had to do. But the Light Side and Dark Side were tearing at his mind and soul. Palpatine looked at the young man with humility and fright,

"Anakin! The Jedi are trying to kill me! They want all the power!"

"He is the true evil and mastermind behind the Clone Wars, Anakin! He must be killed!" said Mace, raising his lightsaber ready to execute the old man.

"No don't!" shouted Anakin. Palpatine held out his hands and used Force Lightning on the senior Jedi Windu, shocking him with electricity. Windu screamed from pain and Anakin watched in horror. Sidious' face began to deform and wrinkle.

"Help me, Anakin…please…don't let him kill me..." said Sidious. Anakin squinted from the bright light of the lightning and couldn't decide what to do. He felt angry at the Jedi Order for their recklessness and knew Palpatine always stood by him ever since he came to Coruscant years ago. Anger was overflowing in his mind and body, Anakin had to stop Windu from killing Palpatine that could save his true love; Padme. He didn't want her to die. But he couldn't let the evil forces of the Dark Side win. He was the Chosen One, he needed to remain calm. He needed to realize the consequences of his actions, something he rarely ever did. Anakin ignited his blue lightsaber and cut off the arms of Darth Sidious. The lightning stopped, Windu fell to the floor beside the window, and Sidious groaned in pain.

Windu panted and looked up,

"Kill him. Kill him, Anakin. He's too dangerous to be kept alive." Anakin looked from Windu back to Sidious that had his eyes closed and could see how much pain he was in. Anakin hesitated, but then drove his blue lightsaber into the heart of Darth Sidious, his former friend. Sidious let out an exhale as he was killed, his head bobbed back… it was over… finally over.

Galactic Senate

Anakin Skywalker went to the session of the Senate where the thousands of delegates were confused and lost, wondering where the Chancellor was. They were not aware of the true identity of Palpatine, or his plans. The Jedi Knight explained to the Senate how he was actually Darth Sidious,

"Palpatine was a user of the Dark Side of the Force. He manipulated all of us, including the Jedi Order. Dooku was his pawn, including others like Grievous, and Viceroy Gunray of the Trade Federation. War was what he wanted. It was his way to instill fear in the Republic, to shaken the institutions of democracy, and cause you to lose faith in them."

He paused, and looked over to where Padme Amidala would be in her senatorial pod. But she wasn't. She had gone into labor, and Anakin couldn't stay any longer.

"I shall turn the floor over to Senators Bail Organa of Alderaan and Mon Mothma of Chandrila." Anakin flew his pod back to its docking section and rushed through the corridors, past Masters Yoda and Windu. The fiery haired Senator from Chandrila flew her pod into the space within the great chamber,

"Members of the Senate, I say we act swiftly to elect a new Chancellor and fix the Galactic Constitution that he has tarnished. Many other Separatist leaders are alive and will continue to fight our magnificent Republic. Let us work together to end them once and for all." The hundreds of senators clapped in approval and the nomination of who was to run for Chancellor began. It was going to be a fiery fight between the major leaders of various factions within the Senate. It was going to be a long process as well…

Jedi Council

"Happened so much, there has." spoke the wise, old, Grand Master Yoda to the other remaining council members, "Father of twins, Anakin Skywalker is."

"I always knew he was in love with Padme." added Obi-Wan Kenobi, "I could sense that there was something always blinding him. He came to me this morning and told me that he is going to leave the Order." The other members weren't surprised, but they respected his decision. Everyone remained quiet, still letting it sink in of what happened. There were a few empty seats from the Jedi killed by Palpatine during their fight the previous night.

"It is best he focus on his new family now," spoke Master Plo Koon, "he is a wise young man and will definitely not be tempted by the Dark Side anymore. He's brought balance."

"I agree," stated Mace Windu, "Palpatine was drawing him closer to the Dark Side. It's a good thing he stopped him, imagine what kind of evil Palpatine would've brought upon the Galaxy."

"Thus brings up the fact that we are to have a new Chancellor." brought up member Shaak Ti. She was in holographic form since she was on duty on Kamino; the clone production planet, "Mon Mothma has announced her bid, and is so far in the lead. The other contenders are Senators Orn Free Ta of Ryloth and Riyo Chuchi of Pantora."

"A close eye, we must keep on the office of the Chancellor and the Senate. Not another incident like the Clone Wars, can we afford." said Master Yoda.

"Wait a minute," interrupted Windu, "Shaak Ti, wasn't there an incident with a clone that shot and killed a Jedi master during the Battle of Ringo Vinda? It had to do with those chips right?"

"Ah yes, the inhibitor chips, Sidious could have been behind those as well." said Shaak Ti, with her hologram slightly flickering.

"See to it that the Kaminoans have all of those chips removed because we can't have a galaxy-wide purge of Jedi." said Master Mace Windu.

"I will handle it immediately, Master Windu." nodded Shaak Ti, and her hologram shut off. The Council was therefore dismissed, and the reconstruction of the fabric of the Republic began.

It was going to be a tiresome, exhaustive, and trying time for the Jedi and the Republic. Separatist forces were in retreat as they gathered their forces to defend major strongholds. There was not really any sense of which side of the fight would win the war. The Republic was essentially leaderless, its head chopped off, and was running about, bleeding viciously. The Separatist Alliance was in the same state of mind, as doubts on Grievous' leadership capabilities skyrocketed: he was a military tactician, not a politician like Dooku.
