Chapter 10
Anakin and the troops ascended the steps to the Jedi Temple. Anakin knew the Jedi were turning against him ever since he joined the Council. Now all he knew was that he was doing it for Padme, for her heart and hand in marriage. Back on Utapau the clones were still fighting Grievous' soldiers as Obi-Wan came on Boga to talk to Cody.
"Commander, contact your troops. Tell them to move to the higher levels."
"Very good, sir. Oh, and I think you'll be needing this." Cody said as he handed Obi-Wan his fallen lightsaber.
"Thank you Cody. Now let's get a move on, we've got a battle to win here! Ha!" Obi-Wan said as he took off on Boga.
"Yes, sir!" Cody said a transmission came in on his hologram projector.
"Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute Order 66." Palpatine said.
"Yes, my lord." Cody said as he put away the transmitter.
"Blast him!" Cody said as the clones fired at Obi-Wan on the higher levels.
Obi-Wan and Boga fell into the water far below as the same thing happened on other worlds. Ki-Adi-Mundi was killed on Mygeeto and Aayla Secura was killed on Felucia. Plo Koon's starfighter was shot down by the clones on Cato Neimoidia and Stass Allie's land speeder was shot down by her clones on Saleucami. Yoda felt all the deaths through the Force and was able to kill the troops just before the shot him down. Senator Organa witnessed the death of Padawan Zett Jukassa as he fought the troops. Obi-Wan was able to escape Utapau and was picked up by Senator Organa on Tantive IV along with Yoda.
After the raid Anakin decided to check on Padme to assure that everything was all right. This way he was one step closer to winning her heart. When she saw him arrive she ran over to hug her friend.
"Are you alright? I heard there was an attack on the Jedi Temple. You can see the smoke from here." Padme said thankful she was wearing a robe the hid her pregnancy
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I came to see that you were safe."
"What's happening?" Padme asked
"The Jedi have tried to overthrow the Republic."
"I can't believe that!" Padme exclaimed
"I saw Master Windu attempt to assassinate the Chancellor myself."
"Oh Anakin, what are you going to do?" Padme asked as Anakin turned his back to her
"I will not betray the Republic. My loyalties lie with the Chancellor, and with the Senate, and with you." Anakin as he turned to face her again
"What about Obi-Wan?" Padme asked, hoping her husband was alive
"I don't know. Many Jedi have been killed. We can only hope he's remained loyal to the Chancellor."
"Anakin I'm afraid" Padme said worried she might have to raise her baby alone
"Have faith, Padme. Everything will soon be set right. The Chancellor has given me a very important mission. The Separatists have gathered on the Mustafar System. I'm going there to end this war. Wait for me until I return. Things will be better, I promise." Anakin said as he and Padme hugged again.
"Please wait for me." Anakin said as he got back into his ship
Padme sat on the landing platform thinking about Obi-Wan and couldn't help but wonder if Anakin was doing the right thing. On Senator Organa's ship Obi-Wan and Yoda decided to go back and reset the coded message to keep any surviving Jedi away from the Temple. On the way back they received a message informing Senator Organa of a special session of Congress. Obi-Wan and Yoda decided that this would be the best time to enter the Temple. On Mustafar Anakin arrived and soon started slaughtering the Separatist leaders one by one.
Obi-Wan and Yoda were fighting the clone troops at the Temple while Padme attended the Senate session.
"And the Jedi rebellion has been foiled." Palpatine said
"What's happened?" Bail asked Padme as he sat down
"The Chancellor's been elaborating on a plot by the Jedi to overthrow the Senate." Padme said turning her attention back to the Chancellor.
"The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated!" Palpatine said from his podium.
Obi-Wan and Yoda had finally gained entrance to the temple to find that everyone, including the younglings were dead. They discovered that some were killed by a lightsaber meaning that someone was with the clones when they attacked. They wondered who could be responsible.
"The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed. But I assure you my resolve has never been stronger." Palpatine said to the Senate.
Back on Mustafar Anakin killed all of the leaders leaving Viceroy Gunray last pleading for his life. On Coruscant the Chancellor was getting to the real reason for the special session.
"In order to ensure security and continuing stability the Republic will be organized into the first GALACTIC EMPIRE! For a safe and secure society!" Palpatine said as he basked in the cheers and applause from the Senators.
"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause." Padme said.
