When Anakin and Windu entered, the Council stared at the arrested Jedi Master.
"What happened?" Obi-wan asked, a look of concern churning in his blue eyes.
"Windu tried to kill Ahsoka," Anakin said with a stern voice. "He also betrayed the Republic and Jedi Order by fighting me."
"I see," Plo Koon observed.
"I suggest that he is taken into stronger custody," Anakin said, and received a nod from Yoda. Windu struggled against the bonds, but Anakin held firm.
"Mace Windu, stripped of your rank as Jedi Master, you are," Yoda said, removing Windu's lightsaber from his belt with the Force, and then setting it at his side.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, JEDI SCUM!" Windu shouted, his voice deep, dark and cruel. An echo of his voice bounced off of the walls as the room fell silent. His eyes turned a deep red as he unleashed a powerful surge of the Force, knocking everyone back, but Anakin still held Windu's hands behind his back.
"What are you?" Anakin asked firmly, tightening the pressure on Windu's wrists.
"Your worst nightmare," he whispered maniacally before collapsing to the floor, but a dark, shadow-like figure stood before Anakin. It had glowing red eyes that seethed with Dark Force, smoking tendrils of darkness curling from its body. Anakin stood dumbfounded, and the being disappeared into Anakin's mind.
"GET IT OUT!" Anakin screamed, gripping his head tightly, falling to his knees under the burden of the darkness. His eyes kept changing color, blue, red, blue, red. He closed his eyes and found himself in a dark cave, the evil monster holding him up by his throat.
"Why did you have to return?" it asked, but Anakin could only gasp for air in response. "I should have killed you once and for all, but noooo, you had to discover your true self and rise again!"
The being threw Anakin at the wall, and he fell to the ground at an awkward angle. Anakin pushed with all his might and stood, slightly shaking from the impact. He lashed out his hands, sending the monster reeling backwards at the sudden release of the Force.
The monster growled as it leapt at Anakin, who kicked the creature in the face, sending it backwards once more.
"What are you?" Anakin asked coldly, placing his boot on the chest of his defeated enemy.
"I…am Dark, supreme ruler of Dark Force," He gasped under Anakin's weight. Anakin leaned down and looked at him more closely. All he could see were two glowing red eyes as features, no mouth that he could see. "And I will never honor your power!"
Dark stood, sending Anakin back, hitting the hard ground on his back. Dark started walking towards Anakin, who was crawling backwards, looking for means of escape.
There were none.
