Flying the starfighter above the embassy building, he has the vehicle running on idle as he leaps out of the ship to see Padme.

"Ani?"

"Padme, I just needed to talk to you before I go."

"Go?"

"The Jedi Council are requiring me for one more mission, then it'll all be over soon."

"Oh..."

"Before I go though, I want the baby to have this."

He brandishes a lightsaber from his pocket.

"I built this for the child. When it gets old enough they can use it."

Padme takes the weapon. "Why are you talking like this? What's going on?"

"Just worry about the baby. Don't worry about me."

"Ani, I- I don't know what I would do if I lost you."

The Jedi embraces her, placing his forehead against hers. "You would worry about the baby. You're going to make a great mother, I can tell."

Tears flow down her face and she tenderly places her hand on his cheek. "And you're going to make a great father when you come back."

They hug one another. He plants a kiss before leaving as he sprints to the starfighter. He wipes his own tears away as he takes off.

Threepio approaches her. "Is there anything I might do?"

She looks at the lightsaber then sobs.


At the Jedi Temple, Anakin lands his fighter running toward the council. However, Master Yoda is already standing at the entrance of the hangar bay.

"You needed to see me, Master?"

"Yes, be brief I will. One Sith is found at Korriban while the other is on Coruscant."

"Here?"

"Yes."

"How'd you find this out?"

"Master Fittso found evidence. He and a task of Jedi are going to deal with who believe to be the Sith Lord. Left his apprentice on Korriban, we believe."

"Why Korriban?"

"Master Fittso intercepted data from the Senate Building. Unsure of the signal we are though. We're sending you to Korriban alone."

"Why only me?"

"We need Jedi here for if the Sith Lord has acolytes. May the Force be with you."


Meanwhile Master Fittso leads a platoon of Jedi through the senate halls. More Jedi search the rooms causing wide-spread panic among the Senators and the civilian populace.

One Jedi runs up to the Nataulan Jedi, "Master, we found signals near the Chancellor's office!"

"Then we'll search there."

Chancellor Palpatine sits in his office looking out the window when a Republic Guard barges into his office.

"Sir, the Jedi are searching the Senate Building without a security permit!"

The Chancellor turns in his chair toward the guard. "Security violation? Master Yoda hasn't contacted me about the matter."

Suddenly some static comes in, "The Jedi are engaging us! They're breaking through security!"

The Chancellor wears a thin frown. He says, "You know what to do, Captain."

"Yes, sir."


Anakin exits from hyperspace, flying toward the red planet of Korriban. He flies above the planet seeing an endless maze of canyons and tombs.

"How am I supposed to find this place?"

He looks up though to see a towering citadel above the rest. He takes a deep breath. "I guess that could be one place to start."

He flies the ship toward the ancient structure.


The Jedi in the Senate are engaged by incoming Republic Guard wielding electric staffs. One almost strikes Fittso with a downward arc only to to be impaled. Fittso swing at another Republic guard who blocks his swing and spins his staff. The Jedi avoids the spin as it whizzes past his face. He uses the Force to push the guard back only for him to land in a pouncing position. The guard leaps at Fittso, the Jedi steps out of the way. The guard swings a wide arc left. The Jedi leaps over the swing and slices the guards back. Another guard lunges his staff only for the staff to be parried downward. The guard plants the edge of the staff on the ground, spinning on it and kicking Master Fittso off his feet.

Chancellor Palpatine sits in the office and he presses a button. A holographic image of a Republic General appears.

"General Ordo, the Jedi are attempting to coup. From now on, they are an enemy of the Republic. Make sure no Jedi lives to rendezvous with another."

Back at the fleet of Mandalore the General shuts off the comm, signaling to two troops. Obi-Wan stands there as the troops raise their rifles. Upon closing his eyes, he quickly opens them back up, drawing his lightsaber and beheading two of the troopers. More soldiers start shooting forcing Obi-Wan to back flip over a control panel. Suddenly the lights go out and a blur of blue goes through the bridge exit.

"Don't let him escape!"


Republic Guards continue fighting off the Jedi. Much of the Jedi are defeated, but they're holding their ground. Then more soldiers pour in, overwhelming the remaining Jedi with blaster fire.

One of the guards opens a comlink. "Chancellor, the invading Jedi are dead. What do we do?"

"Attack the Jedi Temple and insure they can't escape. I'm declaring a state of emergency as of now."


Padme is pacing around the lobby of the embassy when the holotv turns to EMERGENCY BROADCAST.

"As your Chancellor, I regret to inform you that the Republic is now under the state of emergency. The Jedi Order have attempted a coup'de'taut."

Recordings of soldiers picking up Jedi and Republic bodies preside then goes back to the face of the Chancellor.

"It as advisable not to be near the Jedi Temple. We are doing all we can to repress the Jedi Rebellion. If you know a Jedi, be sure to report them to the following number. Any false calls will be punishable by death. This is a serious matter, citizens of the Republic. The war over the galaxy maybe coming to a close, but the war here has just begun."

The holoprojection shut off with an emblem of the Republic. Padme holds her hand to her mouth. "Anakin!"
