OK I know that in cannon Windu died but the way I see it...he wasn't zapped that much with the Force lightening and he didn't pass out from shock when Anakin cut off his hand..so there was possibility that he survived the fall after all there was a lot of traffic ...he could easily fall in to one.
Jedi Camp
The Jedi were circling them; kind of like sharks, but they didn't attack. A tall, bald, black man without one hand stepped forward.
"You expect us to trust a Sith." He said, watching Vader.
"He didn't kill you yet." muttered Buffy. But Vader stepped forward, raising an eyebrow.
"Master Windu."
"You plan to kill me failed."
"Really, because if I remember correctly, I stopped you from killing an unarmed man."
"A Sith Lord."
"And yet, still just a man."
"We won't go without a fight." Windu hefted his lit light saber into a ready position.
"Then you will die."
"Oh for the love of…will you stop with all that moronic Jedi/Sith posturing because Jix will be here soon." snapped Buffy, irritably.
"Now, baldy," she turned to the shocked Jedi Master. "You look like a grown-up person, so could you please act you age, thank you….and the same goes for you, Sky." She whirled on the smirking Sith.
"He started it."
"And you wanted to finish it."
"Damn straight."
"She does have the presence of an invading army, doesn't she." A voice came from above them, then a pale blue person appeared. "Hello there."
"Qui-Gon?!"
"Master Jinn."
People voiced their surprise from all sides.
"What are you people talking about?" asked Roan, looking dumbstruck at the shocked Jedi and his partner.
Buffy tapped him on the shoulder. "A dead Jedi Master who pops up from time to time…don't worry about it." she explained
"If you say so." Lands said, unbelievingly.
"I do."
"Qui-Gon, what is going on?"
"Well, for starters, I'm dead; and Anakin is here to keep you alive."
"You expect us to trust a Sith, he'll kill us all…."
"Oh, please give it a rest; if he wanted you dead, he has got an army, you know? So, I'm pretty sure you'd be dead already." Buffy interjected only get a glare from the some of the Jedi while other were staring at the Force ghost.
"Fine, be that way." She said, then leaned on a nearby tree…which was huge! Bigger that the largest jungle tree on Earth.
"He can try," said a young man with Padawan's braid. "I could take him."
"You and what army." snarked Vader. With a sneer, the young man charged, his lightsaber held high.
Vader effortlessly blocked it, and ripped it out of the Padawan's hand with the Force. He then grabbed the youngster, and lifted the Padawan off the ground, slightly squeezing the windpipe with the Force in warning before tossing the struggling Padawan at some advancing Jedi.
"If not for you, the Jedi wouldn't be in this condition."
"Really" Vader said, slightly sarcastic. "So sorry to disappoint you, but Jedi helped and saved Sidius dozens of times, not even knowing that the Sith Lord was standing right there. Not to mention that they brought forward the very army that caused their destruction. As for me…if you really think that if I wasn't leading attack on the Temple, said attack wouldn't happen." Vader shook his head and chuckled, "Then you are wamprat brain."
The shimmering form of a dead Jedi Master came forward. "Now it isn't time for settling the differences of the living. Your lives are in danger. And Anakin has a plan and the means to realize that plan to save all of you. So I suggest that you listen to that plan."
After an hour of arguing, the Jedi reluctantly agreed to Vader's plans.
They began preparing for a ruse that would take place in a couple of hours. Vader and Ferus helped where needed, and Lands prepared machinery to create a diversion. Buffy was left to wander as everyone was busy, which allowed her to be the only one to see a ghostly form of Qui-Gon Jinn accompany Mace Windu behind some large bushes to have a private conversation.
Since Buffy didn't have anything better to do, she followed them with the intention to be a quiet listener to the talk between ghostly Jedi boy and baldy grumpy Jedi boy.
"We should have never trained the boy…"
Jinn was about to say something when another voice cut through their private discussion.
"Oh please, let it go will you" Buffy stepped around the bush she was hiding behind.
"Eavesdropping is bad form, Miss Summers," Windu said sternly. "This is Jedi business and you are not one."
"And proud of it since the same so-called wise and all-seeing, code-abiding persons with the emotional and logical intelligence of a teaspoon got themselves wiped out by a Sith Lord." She said, matching Mace Windu's glare head-on; no way one monk of a Council member will glare her in to submission. "
"Right, in the beginning the Jedi didn't believe that Sith existed in the first place...and, sorry to burst your bubble, baldy, but your Jedi Council unintentionally engineered Anakin's descent to darkness thingy and Palpatine, being a manipulative…poophead…used mistakes you idiots made."
She held up a finger, seeing that Windu was about to interrupt. "Don't interrupt, I'm not nearly finished yet with you, and don't even try to spout off wisdom and peace, and the light side of the Force…Hey, how can you Jedi call yourselves pacifists if you use something whose very name suggests violence and control….never mind. Where was I? Oh yeah, how you made it easy for Anakin to turn to the dark side."
She tapped her thump on her right hand, starting her list.
"One, when he was nine, he was pretty much told by people he admired, that would be you geniuses, that he was unwanted. That's a hell of a blow to a child who just had to leave a loving home; even if he and his mom were slaves, she still loved and took care of him for nine years."
She tapped her index finger.
"Two, when he won a war on Naboo for you, he was suddenly good enough for you people. That really says a lot about you."
Buffy then tapped her middle finger.
"Three, you paired him off with inexperienced teacher. And from the beginning, he was mostly regarded with mistrust by the Council, he was an outsider in the Temple- all the other children knew each other, and he was more or less isolated."
Ring finger…
"You wanted him to be your prophecy boy, setting standards for him that were ridiculously high for a prophecy that you didn't even know exactly what it meant. It said that the Chosen one will bring balance to the force…not destroy the Sith. Do you even know what balance is?"
Little finger…
"You let his mother remain a slave, and when he was having dream about her being tortured what answer did he get? 'All dreams pass in time.' Basically he was told to let his mother die-What kind of advice is that? And when someone he trusted, who was his friend, and possibly a father figure, told him he didn't have to stand by and watch his wife die in childbirth…and all he was to do was basically destroy anyone who could stand in his way of saving someone he loved. And these people, who didn't in all reality mean anything to him, since he didn't form any type of attachment with them, especially compared to his wife…and you get a Jedi Temple massacre. And all he had to do was suppress all feelings of compassion."
Buffy looked from a shocked-into-a-stupor live Jedi to a smirking dead one. Giving a smug look to Mace Windu, she whipped around so that her long hair slapped across Mace's face and neck and walked away, head held high.
After a few steps, she looked up to see Vader standing couple feet away with strange expression on his face. Frowning, she hurried to him.
"Are you okay?" No response. Now, really worried, she slightly shook him." Say something…uh." She was surprised when he just wrapped her in the hug, lifting her off the ground.
Being slightly uncomfortable with her predicament…or if she was truthful with herself, which she wasn't, Buffy wasn't uncomfortable at all.
"Thank you." She heard a quiet murmur by her ear.
Ignoring the goosebumps, she asked, "What for?"
"For what you said."
"Oh…well…I don't agree with what you did. Actually, I pretty much hate it, you were really an idiot to think that their deaths would help you to save her life. But to be fair, I understand the reasons why you did what you did."
After a moment, she sighed. "So, can you let me go now…we have a Jedi to save."
Vader nodded, letting her go. "Yes, and after that you can tell me what your meeting with Palpatine was…what?"
Buffy paled then her face turned bright red. "You really don't wanna know about that."
"By your reaction, I think I do."
"He's trying to play matchmaker for us." She blurted out.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"What?"
"Palpatine is playing matchmaker."
"What?!"
"Now you are repeating yourself."
"Sorry, I just…what?!"
