Chapter 7: Anakin kills Count Dooku, part 1
A Year had passed since the meeting between Luke & Anakin Skywalker and the Chancellor. Now the two Jedi's were hunting down the emissary of the timekeepers, Count Dooku to end his meddling in Anakin Skywalker's life. Anakin had continuously asked Luke about his life as Darth Vader, but Luke declined to answer due to the fact that it would change history if he did. For now, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin and Luke were dispatched from Coruscant to above the planet after the CIS forces had stormed the capital planet to capture Chancellor Palpatine. The three Jedi were in their Jedi Starfighters, and Anakin had just locked on to General Grievous ship, The Invisible Hand.
"Got his ship signal, master," Anakin said as he flew past some vulture droids who buzzed by him.
"Copy that, Anakin. Luke do you sense the Chancellor?" Obi-Wan's voice came over Luke's intercom. Luke then switched to his internal Com and said, "No because the Dark Side is clouding my perceptions. How come I didn't have this much trouble on Endor?" He said mostly to himself.
"Endor? You've been there. That's not to far from where the Bakuran revolt happened a year and a half ago. I'm impressed, Commander Skywalker," Obi-Wan said.
"I have a fix on the Chancellor's subspace beacon. He's on the Invisible Hand," Luke said as he switched his sensors to the subspace beacon that the Chancellor wore.
"Good. Going in," Anakin said as they avoided most of the vulture droids and other flying droids the CIS through their way.
"Well have you noticed the shields are still up?" Came the voice of Obi-Wan over the intercom. Luke chuckled. He wished Han and Chewbacca could be here to see Obi-Wan in his prime.
"Sorry master," Anakin said as he turned his ship in a near 360 flip from left to right in front of Obi-Wan's damaged ship. He engaged his weapons and the shield's to the hanger bay dropped and the three Jedi starfighters swooped in and two of the Jedi's called upon the Force to flip out of their cockpits to dispatch the battle droids that were there with weapons in hand. Between Luke and Obi-Wan the battle droids stood no chance when faced with their lightsabers.
"Artoo, find the Chancellor's beacon and hurry!" Anakin said as more Battle droids were coming. At least there weren't any of the rolling battle droids called Droidekas in the hanger bay. He was grateful for that. The small astromech droid formerly owned by his wife Padme rolled over to a socket and plugged in and a holographic display of the ship appeared with a red dot blinking from atop a spire located at the rear of the ship.
"His beacon is coming from the top of that spire. Any ideas, Master Skywalker?" Obi-Wan asked.
"You 2 go to the spire and rescue the chancellor and I'll take care of Grievous." Luke finally said reaching and tapping into the Force. The three Jedi nodded to one another and they were off. Luke watched his former master and his Father run off in the direction of the spire as they were on their way to Destiny.
