Disclaimer: All characters belong to George. There is a series of dialogue that was taken right from Revenge of the Sith. I do not claim to have written any of that, I felt that it would show the parallels between what happened and what could have happened.
Anakin approached Palpatine's office quickly, not wanting time to think about what Obi-Wan said. Obi-Wan wasn't right about Palpatine, he knew it.
"Chancellor," Anakin said as he entered the white haired man's office, bowing slightly.
"Anakin, my, what a surprise. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Palpatine said smoothly.
Anakin paused for a moment before responding, "It's the Jedi. I fear that they are pushing me to the dark side. They don't appreciate my abilities, and are unable to help me with my problems. I don't have anyone who supports me. I'm sorry, it's just so frustrating."
"It's upsetting to me to see the council doesn't seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don't you wonder why they wont make you a Jedi Master?" Palpatine replied.
"I wish I knew. More and more I feel that I'm being excluded from the council. I know there are things about the force that they are not telling me." Anakin said, pacing slightly. Palpatine nodded, "They don't trust you, Anakin. They see your future, they know your power would be too strong to control. You must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you," he said, leading Anakin away from his office and into a connecting hallway. "Let me help you to know the subtleties of the force."
"How do you know the ways of the force?"
"My mentor taught me everything about the force. Even the nature of the dark side," Palpatine said quietly.
"You know the dark side?" Anakin asked, rounding on him.
"Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all it's aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader you must embrace a larger view of the force. Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the dark side of the force and you will be able to save your wife from certain death," Palpatine said, smiling menacingly.
"What did you say?" Anakin asked, circling the old man.
"Use my knowledge, I beg you," Palpatine continued. At this, Anakin ignited his bright blue, humming lightsaber.
"You're the Sith lord," he said, holding the weapon to Palpatine's face.
"I know what's been troubling you. Listen to me. Don't continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council. Ever since I've known you, you've been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi, a life of significance, of conscience," Palpatine pressed on, despite the growing danger of Anakin decapitating him with his lightsaber. "Are you going to kill me?" He asked, turning away from Anakin.
"I would certainly like to," he replied, raising the lightsaber more. "But, you must be brought to trial. I'm going to turn you over to the Jedi council," he said, extinguishing his blade.
"Of course, you should, but you're not sure of their intentions, are you? You have great wisdom, Anakin. Knowing the power of the dark side, you will have the power to save Padme."
"You leave her out of this," Anakin hissed, as he quickly turned and exited the Sith lord's office.
Anakin turned on his holoprojector and connected to Obi-Wan, the minute the signal went through, Anakin spoke.
"Master, it appears you were right about Palpatine," Anakin said hurridly, still walking quickly to the Temple.
"How do you know?"
"He has knowledge of the force, especially the dark side. He told me with his teachings, I would be able to save Padme," Anakin said quietly, feeling a twinge of guilt at the thought of Padme.
"Anakin, he's lying. As you saw in your dream, the dark side will not save her and will turn you into something you are not. We have to alert the council about this. Meet me at the entrance of the Temple and find Mace or Yoda to alert them of this."
Obi-Wan and Anakin approached Mace quickly.
"Master Windu, we have some grave information about Chancellor Palpatine," Obi-Wan said. "We believe that he may-"
"He's a Sith lord," Anakin interrupted. "He's a Sith lord and he's going to do something awful if we don't act now." Mace looked at them incredulously, "How do you know this?"
"He has knowledge of the force, the dark side of the force. He attempted to turn me into his apprentice, he told me he could teach me great powers…incredible powers," Anakin said, looking away.
"Then he knows we're coming for him," Mace began. "We must-" A huge explosion that shook the ground they were standing on cut him off, and all three Jedi struggled to stay vertical. Before any of them could say or do anything, thousands of clones stormed into the room, shooting Jedi. They sprang into action, each cutting down hundreds of enemy soldiers. However, they just kept coming. Anakin, Mace, and Obi-Wan managed to briefly hide behind a large pillar.
"He's been planning this," Mace yelled over the noise of the battle commencing behind them. "It's no use to stay here and fight, there are hundreds of thousands of clone troops they can bring here. We need to alert the other Jedi."
"I'll do that, I'll send out a transmission for all other Jedi to stay away and search for other survivors in the Temple," Obi-Wan said, and looked at Anakin's worried face. "Go to Padme, make sure she's safe. Alert the other senators to what is really going on, I believe there's a rebel movement among some of them. Find a place for us to go that's safe and send a message to us so Palpatine wont be able to find the survivors." Mace looked between Anakin and Obi-Wan, confused.
"What does Senator Amidala have to do with this?" Mace said. Anakin clenched his jaw and looked down. Obi-Wan sighed.
"It seems that the relationship the Council has suspected is ture. Anakin and Padme are married and expecting a child," Obi-Wan said. Mace nodded. With that, they turned and fought their way through the clones towards their own tasks.
