Chapter 1 The Fall of an Empire

After the Clone Wars ended due to his lack of turning Anakin Skywalker to the dark side or even telling him. Emperor Palpatine has captured Jedi Master Mace Windu and has taken him to his base on Geonosis and executed Order 66. The two Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi have gone to Geonosis hours after Order 66 was executed to save Mace and avenge their fallen brothers and sisters.

"I have a bad feeling about this place" Obi Wan muttered.

"Hey, I don't intend on losing another arm here" Anakin replied sarcastically with a

smug look on his face. But Anakin's look quickly change from smug to fear as they landed on the desert planet. The sandy base was abandoned during the Clone Wars, during its abandon it had been eroded and attacked by nature's forces. As the two Jedi walked in, the door made a loud squeak and as it closed all light was drained from the room except for one a purple line that made a tiny humming noise. The two jedi quickly realized that it was a purple Lightsaber and took out their own.

"Master Jedi," said an old distant voice then in a blinding flash the lights came on and through the consuming white light they saw a dark figure,The Emperor. "Emperor " said Anakin putting his Ocean Blue Lightsaber in a defencive position Obi Wan did the same. The Emperor stepped forward taking out his Bright Red Lightsaber. "Palpatine but I trusted you I called you a friend I " Anakin Exclaimed an evident anger in his tone. The Emperor gracefully lunged forward Anakin blocked his two Lightsabers in an angry blow. "Ha" screamed Palpatine noticing the anger after Obi Wan realized what was going on he calmly ran forward and struck at the Emperor with swift and graceful blows to his right side. "Calm down Anakin" Obi Wan remarked with worry in his voice

taking his friends advice and started to breath smoothly but it didn't last for long because The

Emperor leaped back into a room with lava on every corner. "Would you like to die here Jedi" Palpatine chuckled and then he force pushed Anakin into a pillar knocking him unconscious.

Mace Realized his opportunity to escape from his jail he force pulled Anakin's lightsaber through the bars of his jail cell. When Mace had the Lightsaber in his hand he opened it and easily sliced through the bars. When Mace stepped out of the jail cell he force push the bars that he cut. Most fell into the lava but one impaled Palpatine's left arm throwing the purple Lightsaber into the lava. "Seriously" Mace remarked in disgust then he attacked Palpatine. The Sith Lord was dazed and his blows were becoming less powerful with each strike of his Lightsaber. Obi Wan seeing his opponent was weakening attempted to chop off his hand. Obi Wan's first blow failed and Palpatine and him were locked creating purple sparks. Palpatine force pushed Mace who was about to blow then raised his arm to deliver the final blow to Obi Wan. As Palpatine raised his arm mace stood up and ran to the Emperor. "Now you will die!" Screamed Palpatine and he chuckled as he swiftly raised his Lightsaber but as his Lightsaber was at it's highest point mace ran in and cut it off. Argh!" Yelled Palpatine in agony then as Mace was going to deliver the final blow Palpatine shot him back knock his Lightsaber out the room. Palpatine did the same to Obi Wan. The two Jedi took cover as Palpatine crazily shot lighting throughout the base. "We have to get our Lightsabers" Mace yelled "no we can't they are too far away" Obi Wan replied with a grim look on his face but then he used the force on Palpatine swiftly knocking his off his feet then Obi Wan ran towards his Lightsaber and started to strike. Palpatine was dodging every blow but Obi Wan made him stop using the force then he reach inside of Palpatine and took out his ability to use force lightning. The thing was blood red ball that gave off a blinding light. Obi Wan jumped back and threw it at Palpatine instantly shocking him. Mace watch as Anakin woke up to the screams of Palpatine then all three Jedi watched as the Sith lord was electrocuted.

While the Jedi were fighting on Geonosis another fight was taking place. The Jedi Masters Shaak ti and Saesee tiin were going on a mission to go and get the Jedi Master Yoda from Dagobah which is a swamp planet covered is a mysterious mist. The mission started out smooth but then as the Jedi got closer to the planet Four Imperial Star Destroyers which used to be Republic Cruisers became visible and each sent out fifty Arc 170 ships which attack the Jedi's two Republic Gunships. The two Jedi by miracle got through the blockade and landed on Dagobah but so did the clones. when the Jedi reached Yoda and got him to the ship the clones attacked them. "Too many of them there are" Yoda calmly stated them they closed the flap and tried to take off but it wasn't going. the two Jedi looked at the other Gunship and were about to get out but it suddenly exploded. Then they heard heavy blaster fire and feared for the worst. The three Jedi looked outside to see that all the clones were dead. "Hey so when are we leaving" they heard Anikin over the intercom and tried to start the ship up again and it worked. The six Jedi flew to Coruscant when they docked at the jedi temple and stepped inside they felt a chill. They walked to the council room an all sat down "so I think we should sent a signal to all of the surviving Jedi" Mace remarked "yes before we start we should hmm"Yoda replied. "All Jedi that have survived come to the Jedi Temple" Anakin stated in a cold voice then they heard the doors to the temple opening and heard Clone Troopers walking in. All of Jedi in the temple quickly hid when they heard this message over the intercom "find and kill all Jedi
