Chapter 1 The Changes

Anakin told the Jedi Council that Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord. Mace Windu did not want to believe that at first the shocking news. The Master of the Order assembled a group of Jedi Masters and went to speak with Anakin.

-Skywalker, you are here to stay in the Temple. If you stay in and follow my orders, I will grant you the rank of Master. I am leaving with three high ranking Jedi, who as me are on the Council. Others are away, not counting Shaak Ti. If we four do not return, you are left in charge of the Jedi.

-Understood Master.

-I would strongly advice to go to the Council Chambers and meditate there. We will return soon hopefully.

Anakin went to the Council's chamber and sat there. Ahsoka came in and saw her Master meditating. Anakin was sitting still, looking like a statue.

-Master? Are you Ok?

-Yes Ahsoka. Mace Windu left me here. He said that I need to meditate in here.

-Can I join you? I never sat in a Councilor seat and probably never will.

-Certainly Ahsoka

The two started meditating. Anakin suddenly heard Palpatine talking to him through the Force.

"My boy, if they kill me, all chances to save her will be lost"

Anakin was thinking, then he thought about Padme and the baby, then about the nightmares he had. Ahsoka sensed Anakin's confusion and through the bond between the two of them learned on what confused her Master.

-Master, Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith. Sith only care about each other. And think Sky Guy, if he makes you a sith lord, he will kill Padme so that you will be completely submerged into darkness. But I still cannot believe that you married the senator!

-Ahsoka, now I see the picture clearly. –he thought- O, no, I know precisely what Palpatine's next move will be. Run to the communication room and tell all Jedi whom you could communicate that they should beware of the clones. Palpatine will issue order 66 if Mace fails. I will assemble everyone in the temple. Now, go!

Ahsoka run to the communications room and started contacting Jedi. Anakin ran to the main hallway and called everyone to come. Anakin soon received a transmission from Mace Windu.

"Anakin, if you can hear me I am very proud of you. You are granted the rank of Master and you are now the Master of the Order."

The communication got lost and Anakin knew what that was- Mace failed and now Palpatine would issue the monstrous order. He run to Ahsoka and saw that she was working on transmissions.

-Master, I lost contact will almost everybody. I was able to communicate with Master Yoda, Luminara, Plo Koon and Obi Wan. I think they

-Don't lose hope Ahsoka. Go and join the rest of the Jedi.

Anakin went and called a padawan.

-Zett, I require Senator Amidala to be escorted to the Temple now and quickly. She is in grave danger.

The padawan run to the speeder and flew towards her apartment. By that time, all Jedi, including younglings, were present in the room. Anakin looked upon everybody and started a speech.

-Today, my dear Jedi, many things occurred. The Chancellor was found to be a Sith lord. Mace Windu and three other Councilors went to arrest him but are now dead. The rest of the Council is now either presumed dead or absent with the exception of Master Ti. Also, before Mace died, he made me his successor. Master Yoda is not here and he will meet us at meeting place. Until then, I assume leadership of the Jedi Order. Prepare, the troopers will soon be here. Fortunately, we have a ship which could fit everybody in the Temple. I designed and created it during my padawan years while my Master was on missions and the ship is hidden inside the Temple. Now, first younglings and padawans go, and then oldest Jedi Masters and the Jedi Knights will go last.

People prepared to fight. Anakin showed them where the ship was hidden and left Ahsoka in charge. Soon Padme arrived and Zett escorted her to the ship. Anakin was glad that his wife was safe. He sensed that he enemy was approaching and activated his lightsaber. However, he did not see clones but instead he saw Asajj Ventress.

-You are very brave by entering here.

-Shut up Skywalker, I am trying to save myself. The stupid clones thought that I was a Jedi and started shooting me. As I figured this would be the safest place in here and we are now allies since clones want to exterminate us all.

-I see logic in your words Ventress. Perhaps, you still can return to the light side.

The group was prepared to fight. The doors were shut and sealed but soon there were no remains of them. The Jedi saw clones coming and preparing to exterminate the Jedi. Anakin saw that a green blade was now at his side.

-Ahsoka, I said that you stay with the ship.

-I cannot leave you, Master.

People started deflecting the blasts and retreating. Anakin saw a clone in blue armor leading the attack. The General, his padawan and Captain were about to meet for the last time. Anakin knew that Rex was a professional and he knew that one will die.

Who do you think will die- Rex or Ahsoka? This story is in my opinion what should have happened in that historic momment in Episode 3.
