Obi Wan, Anakin and the youngling they saved sneaked out of the council chambers, a squad of clone troopers saw them and began firing their blasters. The three jedis ignited their lightsabers and deflected the laser fire back to clones who fired them, withing seconds the squad members lied dead on the ground each having a laser wound.
"What's your name youngling?" Obi Wan asked while they continued to walk."
"Ben." the youngling replied still holding on the Anakin's hand.
"What a nice name, imagine adding Kenobi behind." Anakin joked.
"Very funny Anakin but what about Skywalker it will sound better." Obi Wan joked back half amused.
"Er I don't mean to be rude but there is a group of clones approaching." Ben said as he pointed to a bunch of clones running to their location.
"I'll handle this!" Anakin hissed.
Using the force he made the clones all float in the air for a while and with one push, he send them all flying out of the window and to the streets below. Ben stared at Anakin in awe, his mouth hanging open. He had heard about Anakin force powers but he never expected to see it for himself.
Anakin smiled at him and ruffled his hair, Obi Wan glanced around for an escape route.
"This way!" Obi Wan motioned to them.
Outside the back entrance of the Jedi Temple, Bail Organa arrived to see what was going on. He approached the clone troopers who raised their blasters as he came closer. Bail decided to back away when he saw Obi Wan, Anakin and Ben running out of the door, he immediately ran to his speeder to retrieve his blaster and began shooting at the clone troopers. Ben jumped in front of Commander Gree and sliced the clone at his torso splitting him in half, Anakin and Obi Wan finished off the rest of the clones. Bail Organa waved to them and they rushed to his air speeder which zoomed off immediately once they board.
"Thank the force that you're alive!" Bail said smiling.
"Yes, it's good that you arrived just in time." Obi Wan replied looking back at the Jedi Temple which was burning.
"What happened in there?" Bail asked with seriousness in his voice.
"I entered with Master Kenobi to save some Jedis after nearly escaping death but when we entered the whole place was filled with dead clones and Jedis alike. We are not sure who could have done this?" Anakin answered wiping away some tears from his eyes.
"It's...Master Yoda." Ben said looking down controlling his tears.
"WHAT!" the three men jumped in shock.
"I did not want to believe it either but I saw Master Yoda kill Master Windu and the other younglings that were hiding with me." Ben replied his tears bursting from his eyes as he recalled what happened in the council chambers.
"Hush now you were very brave." Anakin said hugging Ben who continued to sob.
"Why did Master Yoda do it?" Bail asked confused and shocked.
"I think he had fallen to the Dark Side." Anakin replied wiping tears away from Ben's cheeks.
"Wait, Ben when you saw Master Yoda entered did you notice anything different?" Obi Wan asked leaning closer to Ben.
"Yes, his eyes were yellow!" Ben exclaimed.
Obi Wan looked at Anakin who nodded in return, their worst fear had come true Master Yoda had turned to the Dark Side. Just then a hologram of Mas Amedda appeared asking Bail to attend a Senate meeting. Bail dropped them off at Padme's place and left to attend the Senate meeting.
"Anakin!" Padme ran out and embraced Anakin who kissed her on the head.
"Senator." Obi Wan said bowing Ben as well.
"Hello Obi Wan but who's this?" Padme asked guesturing to Ben.
"His name is Ben he is or was a Jedi youngling under Master Yoda." Anakin answered as he ushered Ben forward.
"Hi." Ben said shyly looking at his feet his face becoming red.
Padme laughed and embraced Ben asking him to sit while she get them something to eat. When she returned her smile faded when Anakin looked at her with the This-is-serious-face.
"Padme, there is something that you should know." Anakin said looking at her than at Obi Wan who nodded.
"What?" Padme asked.
"Master Yoda had turned to the Dark Side, Ben here saw Yoda killing younglings." Anakin replied to a now shocked Padme.
"Not only younglings master but other jedis as well." Ben said looking at his feet and back at her.
"It can't be why would he turn?" Padme asked looking confused.
Anakin swallowed and spoke "We believe it's something to do with Palpatine."
Padme covered her mouth and asked "You don't think that he is a.."
"Sith Lord, yes I'm afraid it's true the reason ever since Master Yoda first met Palpatine in his office he changed a lot." Obi Wan answered her as he stood up.
Ben sat on the chair staring at all the three adults talking to each other, he frowned as he thought do you know that talking behind someone's back is considered extremly rude even if I'm just a youngling but soon regreted when Anakin looked at him.
"We apologise for not talking to you." Anakin said as he sat down beside the boy.
"So Master, what are we going to do now the Jedi Temple is destroyed and so far we are the only survivors?" Ben asked looking at all three of them.
"I'm not sure maybe we can.." Anakin paused when he heard the door knocking.
"I'll answer it stay here." Padme said as she opened the door.
To everyone's surprise it's Mace Windu, he entered groaning in pain and clutching his wounded arm. Obi Wan and Anakin cleared a place for him to lie down, Ben ran to find water. Mace Windu smiled weakly when he realised that at least his not alone. Bail Organa arrived a little later and gasped with shock and relief when he saw Mace Windu resting on the couch.
"So what happened during the meeting?" Obi Wan asked curiously.
"Chancellor Palpatine decided to change the Republic into an Empire he just crowned himself Emperor." Bail replied his face looked grim.
The room was silent as everyone absorbed the news than Mace Windu groaned and asked.
"We need to rebuild the Jedi Order." Anakin and Obi Wan nodded silently.
"But where?" Ben asked folding his arms.
"I was thinking of Yavin what do you think?" Mace asked looking at Anakin and Obi Wan.
"It's a good idea, master I...am married to Padme." Anakin replied looking down.
To his surprise Mace Windu just smiled and than he burst out laughing causing everyone to jump.
"Skywalker, I know about your marriage a long time ago." Mace said still smiling.
"You're not mad?" Anakin asked confused.
"Why should I actually to be frank I was deciding to change the Jedi attachment code." Mace replied patting Anakin on his back.
Anakin stared at Mace Windu and asked "Did you hit your head?"
"No, I am serious about changing it." Mace said as he sat down.
Obi Wan chuckled and Ben covered his mouth as they looked at Anakin who is very,very confused and Mace Windu who just sat down and laughed non stop. Padme looked at Bail who just gave her the I-don't-know-what-happened face.
"Ok, back to the serious part how do we get out of Coruscant?" Obi Wan broke the laughter.
"Yes I never thought of that." Mace asked.
"You can take my ship, I will drop you all off at Yavin." Bail said and everyone agreed.
