A/N: Hi, before I start this chapter, unexpected twists are bound to come.
Ahsoka walked to the medical building where Obi-Wan was currently being threated. She knew she must get him out and back to the Jedi Temple immediately, because they have called her over her communicator because she was a Jedi who knew Obi-Wan beside from her Master, who was spotted running down the Jedi Temple.
Ahoska's robes were dripping behind her as she continued her patheay down. She approached the deck clone who was writing filies. She waited until he finished writing those must be important filies.
Considering this is a Republic base, they must be busy at all hours. When the clone finished, he spinned his chair around and lay his legs against the desk. Rolling her eyes in clear annoyance, Ahsoka cleared her throat behind him and he turned to face her.
"What do you want?" the deck clone demands in a rough voice.
Ahsoka silently glared at him. Most of the men is respectful to her and knows how to show respect all of them, even the ones who weren't generals, but yet some who disrespect anyone they seen. "I want to see Obi-Wan Kenobi." Ahsoka answered through her robe.
The clone grumpled something underneath his breath and boredly scrolled over towards a datapad. Ahsoka hoped this didn't take so long because sometimes this boring protocol takes so long due to so many filies and injured Jedi and Clone Troopers.
Luckily, most of the Jedi aren't injured that bad to come here or have been discharged from them. Today is mainly clones who is currently recovering.
After what felt like a hour, Ahsoka finally had his name and room number and clearance to go in. He had to clear her by asking if she have any weapons. Of course, Ahsoka said no, because who knows how many times her Master lectured her about losing her lightsaber.
The Togruta gave a single 'thanks' and walked in to find his room number; which is room 209. Clones were walking around her and ignored her, but she didn't make it an issue, for all she's focused on is on one of her Master and friend.
Stopping at room 209, Ahsoka frowned at seeing Commander Cody, who seems to be guarding the room. He allowed her to enter without even clearing since he is very respectful to her. She entered to see Obi-Wan sitting up against his bed with medical droid giving him which she'd guessed as a shot, which made him wrince but the droid beginned to walked out.
"He's clear to leave," the droid said to her before going away from her.
Ahsoka knew she will have to teased him about this. She crossed her arms and smiled teasingly up towards him. "Hello, Obi-Wan," she greeted smugly. "How was this perfect place?"
"I won't said perfect," Obi-Wan said sarcastically. "Anyway, why did Anakin thought of sending me here, when I could have thought of medical treatment at the Jedi Order."
"Well," Ahsoka was quick to defend her Master's reasoning. "You were still losing blood and have been hit in the head during the crash, I believe. We had to get you to medical treatment immediately."
"And where is Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked noticing Anakin wasn't there.
"My guess is that he's probably still sleeping at the Jedi Temple," Ahsoka said dryly. "He never been an sleeper and always is on a mission but he kind of single-handedly ended the entire Clone Wars."
"True," Obi-Wan agreed. "And I'm kind of surprise the Jedi Council haven't gave him an praise or anything. I guess they have a surprise in the waiting, perhaps a chance to be on the Council and/or become a Jedi Master."
Ahsoka clenched her jaw at that. "I think he should have been granted the rank of Jedi Master before this mission because he have prove himself to be a great Jedi and saved many lives, risking his own in the process."
"You have to remember, Ahsoka, that the Jedi Council didn't truly-"
Obi-Wan wasn't allow to complete that sentence, for he was interrupted by Tano's sharp hiss. He knew she hated how the Jedi Council kind of dislike Anakin, for his reckless actions and his struggles with the Dark Side.
He was everything the Jedi had resented for a long time, a Jedi who barely manage to control the Light and Dark. There have been many Jedi before who done this very act of controlling both sides of the force. Ahsoka have been told tales about them many times through her childhood and training as an Jedi.
"That the Jedi Council don't trust him?!" Ahsoka spat towards him, making him fall silent in surprise. "You see how the Jedi distrust him, even after all he have done, he is still mistreated at times! The second he landed on this planet, he should've been counting on the Jedi Council to come up to him and grant him the rank of Master!"
Ahsoka noticed Obi-Wan face seems to be paled. She knew he'd agreed with her about the matter of Anakin, and knew that the Jedi is wrong for not praising Anakin for saving all of their lives and capturing a war criminal, even though he doesn't want to admit it.
With his face held low, he closed his eyes with clear regret. "Ahsoka, I agree with you," Obi-Wan admitted. "But like I said, I believe the Council is planning something for Anakin. Something big."
Ahsoka was silence in respond, but nodded, decided to drop the subject as she begin the process of getting the Jedi Master off of the systems he were hooked onto. She had notice a few bandages and his stomach seeming to be covered.
Rex walked with some of the 501st and the 312th and Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Caleb Dume, to scanned the wreckage of attacking the Invisible Hand. Though he have communicated with General Luminara, Rex never had met the new Padawan, Caleb Dume, or General Dume.
Somehow, the Invisible Hand and the destroying ships that were shot down accompanying it just to happen to land on Coruscant, which is quite ironic. Rex couldn't wait to see Cody again, but he was at the location where General Kenobi is being heal.
However, after that, he and Cody can take a break and kick up at the cantina; something Rex was looking forward to. Because Cody have been going on endless missions, and Rex had to take sometime away to reflect on all his dead brothers in the war.
Rex had went to the damage starfighter that the troops manage to land and saw R2-D2 hoping out, with other men rebuilding the ship. The Clone Captain walked up to the droid and patted it on the head. "Greetings, R2-D2," Rex greeted respectfully.
R2 let out some beeps towards the Captain, in which he chuckled. "Well, you see your favorite General soon." he said. Even though he bared an helmet over his face, it was clear that Rex is smiling.
The droid let out big beeps, though it was longer then the last one. "Senator Amidala? Why would you want to go to her apartment?" He arched an eyebrow to the droid underneath his helmet in suspicion.
In replied, the droid beep even more. "Friend of General Skywalker?" Rex questioned. He had always guessed there is something odd about the General and the Senator but always shrugged it off as merely professional. "Well, guess I can order men to escort you to Senator Amidala's apartment."
He waved his hand and two clones scrolled over to escort the droid to Senator Amidala apartment. Speaking of the General, he wondered where he was at, since he'd thought Skywalker would have been here.
In the silent Chancellor's office, all was heard is the sound of a lightsaber that was bussing highly. Nothing can be heard instead of the sound an lightsaber usually make when it's on.
For a few seconds, the owner begin walking forward, making loud sounds with his boots that clashed with his lightsaber. Eventually, the lightsabers of Master Yoda and Master Windu mirrored at the sound of Chancellor Palpatine.
"Master Skywalker!" Palpatine squealed out to the Knight, still holding an ignited purple lightsaber. "These traitors betrayed me! I need your help! Please help me!" He beg towards the Knight.
Before Mace or Yoda can respond to Palpatine's claim, Anakin snarled bitterly at him. "You are a traitor and an rat! You deserve to die!" Anakin's eyes took the image of bright green. "Just like Plagueis!" He finished.
To that, Palpatine laughed and forced himself up, which surprise all three of the Jedi. Yoda and Mace's lightsabers aimed at him as he make his next move and next plan. Years of deception and resentment poured through the Sith Lord. That is all he needed. All that he have thought up. He knew the Jedi would be coming to arreat him and he had to act kindly to influence the galaxy and turn all of the citizens against the Jedi Order.
With blinding speed that not even Yoda can anticipate, Sidious reached up his hands and force lightning each of the Jedi back into a wall harsly, leaving big marks and wreckage. The lightsabers of each Jedi turned off and was flew somewhere else.
"Thank you, Master Jedi," Sidious said bitterly, pulling out an holorecording and deactivating it. He have deceive the Jedi Order and have lure the Jedi into a trapped that they can't get out of. "You fools have played right into my plan. Now, you fools will watch as each of your fellow is shot down and betrayed and view as enemies of the Republic."
"No!" Anakin cried out, trying his hardest to get up but his pained body and muscles prevented him from doing so. "You won't get away with this!"
"Oh, Skywalker, you don't understand," the Sith Lord cackled. "It is time for the Jedi to fall." He then pulled out an communicator, revealing a Clone Commander who held a salute. "Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute Order 66."
With some sign of hesitation, and an slight gasp forming from the clone, the clone answered like a droid. "It will be done, my lord." Cody said, as the communicator hissed off.
"What have you done? And what is this Order 66?!" Anakin demanded weakly. Due to being send into the wall by lightning from Palpatine, he is currently unable to move or speak rightly because he cracked some bones from the unexpected assault.
"Let's just say the Clone Troopers view the Jedi as enemies now," Sidious hissed. "Each Jedi will be shot down by their clones and you have the pleasure of seeing the clones betray the Jedi."
Anakin was clearly confused at first. But then he realized this was Sidious's plan all along. "No!" Anakin shouted not wanting to believe Sidious but he knew it was the truth. Good loyal Clone Troopers will turn against their Generals without a thought and there is nothing Skywalker can do. Anakin really wanted to do something but it was too late, and he just couldn't get up. Master Yoda and Windu is also having problems of getting up themselves.
With that, the Jedi Knight watch with complete horror as Sidious continues to contact clones to carry this Order 66. What's completely wrong about this is that he can't do anything because he have to lay on the floor like a incapacitated tusken, (oh the irony) watching it all happen.
Ahsoka helped Obi-Wan up, but as she did so she felt something. A disturbance in the force. It was all coming to her. Everything. Things seems to gotten blurry and went dark. Her instincts told her to turn around. Hearing sounds of blasters being set behind her, Ahsoka flipped around to see a Squadron of Clones - mainly the 212th, aiming their blasters at her.
Calling for her lightsabers in her gripped and activating them, Ahsoka frowned at the clones. Glad that they'd finish the process, Obi-Wan ran beside Ahsoka and felt Ahsoka handing him his lightsaber from her robes and he activated it, revealing his blue lightsaber mirroring off his face. "Cody! What's going on?!" Obi-Wan demanded, his eyes widening with shock and terror.
He seems to be regretful for what he was about to do to two Jedi he've respected very much throughout the Clone Wars, but orders must be done and he had no other choice. "I'm sorry sir," Cody apologized through his helmet. "But the Jedi been labeled as traitors and will die as one."
Obi-Wan and Ahsoka gasped at the same time, realizing that the clones wasn't going to back down no matter what they'd said and they would either have to allow themselves to be shot down, or live to fight another day.
After a moment of silence, the clones opened fire on both of the Jedi, which force them to send the shots back with their sabers. Due to not being caught offguard like they were sure other Jedi were, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan managed to defend themselves.
They manage to take a few clones down, but Cody continue to open fire and not be shot down. Ahsoka were attempted to run up and knock the clones blasters of their tough and firm grip yet she knew it was foolish and can cost her her life.
"We can't win!" Obi-Wan called to her. He had to think recklessly for once since being a Jedi Master and get himself and Ahsoka out of here before it's too late. He then suddenly thought of something. "Ahsoka! Cut the window! We're jumping out of here!"
Continuing to deflect blaster shots from the clones, Ahsoka called to her master. "Are you crazy?! We can die if we don't get lucky!"
"In my experience, there's no such thing as luck!" Obi-Wan retaliated, taking a few clones down by their blaster fire. "Now, cut the damn window! I'll cover you!" Obi-Wan ran infront of her to prove his point.
Surprised at hearing him cussed, Ahsoka decided to do what was ordered towards her. She jumped and cutted her blades through the window, which left a giant X, and she force push the window, making it shattered.
"Let's get out of here!" Ahsoka yelled. Obi-Wan nodded and block a few more blaster shots before she ran up before jumping out of the window with the other Togruta Jedi as the blaster shots seize with them jumping below.
Rex walked with Master Luminara and Padawan Dume. He and several clones have been reported to help the Jedi call for something to move the ship. His communicator system litted up and he activated it, with Commander Appo standing beside him, and the two clones saw Chancellor Palpatine under an hood, which shock and bemused him but he still stoos at attention.
"Captain Rex, Commander Appo;" Sidious beginned through the communicator at the Captain. "The time has come. Execute Order 66."
Rex was shock for a second. What was that?! It was a order of some sort. But he had remove his chip so he was utterly confused at that order. There was a moment of silent but the silence was interrupted by the sounds of blasters being loaded.
With horror, Rex turn to see half of the men raising their blasters towards both unexpected Jedi. He remember some words said to him by a familiar clone an few months ago.
'A sinister plot to overthrow the Jedi!'
Rex's eyes widened as he and a few other clones went into action. "No! Don't fire!" Rex yelled. To his luck, some of the men were his men, but unfortunately not all of them are. He was lucky that he wasn't shot at by his mind controlled brothers. "The Jedi are our Generals! General Luminara and General Dume don't deserve to die!"
Some of the clones beside him even twitched but yet stayed loyal to him and the Jedi. As much as good soldiers are suppose to follow orders, some of them knew this was wrong. Other clones lowered their weapons, knowing they couldn't do it, and went beside Rex and fought against the chip implanted in their heads. They were human enough to have emotions and realized they were being used as machines.
Appo still had some men though; more then Rex have. Just then, Luminara and Caleb ran up. "What's going on?" Luminara questioned the clones who had their blasters pointed at each other.
"The Chancellor have declared the Jedi as enemies and those who must wipe out immediately," Rex told her.
At that, Luminara was surprise at first but nonetheless she put her small Padawan behind her protectively and activated her lightsaber at the clones. Rex was quick to say before she started striking down clones. "Fear not, General," Rex assured. "Some of us want to help. Those guys are the traitors."
She can sense he was telling the truth and assumed her position beside the clones with her Padawan even activating his own blue lightsaber. Blaster shots begin ringing out and shooting at them.
Clones of both were falling, but Rex managed to shoot Appo in the gut and ribs, making him fall to the ground. With their commander shot down, this battle can be carried out easily and they can escape.
Commander Bly and atleast four of his men walked with Aayla Secura, preparing for a next mission with their favorite General when Bly's holo-communicator system litted up, revealing the hooded and disfigured Chancellor.
Darth Sidious begin speaking throughout the communicator. Bly sweared something was wrong about the Chancellor that he didn't like. "Commander Bly, the time has come. Execute Order 66." Sidious ordered.
Gasping, Bly closed his eyes to what he was about to do. "It will be done my lord." He answered and it hissed off. He look up to Aayla and aimed his blasters along with other men to finish her and do as order.
But something stopped them from pulling the trigger. Regret and pain. One second they was about to kill her and follow "Good Soldiers Followed Orders" but now here he just couldn't do it, even though he had to make an choice... he already did.
Bly held his hand high seizing them from shooting. "Disobey that order." The clone commander said. The clones nodded and lowered their weapons.
Anakin saw Yoda and Mace trying to push themselves up, along with him; all realizing they had to stopped the Sith. Finally managing to get a good grip on the wall, Anakin forced his legs up and then pushed his arms to support his body, as Palpatine called Shock Troopers and Admiral Tarkin to his office.
He knew if he don't get up now, he, along with Master Yoda and Windu will die. Mace and Yoda begin to make their small pacing to get up, but yet none could do it. The Shock Troopers came in and aimed their firearms towards the Jedi.
This is over. Anakin realized that all is lost. His wife will give birth in a violent galaxy and have to be on the run, clearly unsafe from Palpatine; his children will grow up without their father.
For a second, Anakin held remorse and guilt. Then a few moments later, Anakin's anger boiled beyond Sidious. Combinations of something replace that remorse and guilt; something more powerful.
Rage.
Fury.
Justice.
Tarkin motioned for the clones to shoot the second they enter. Glad that Anakin manage to someway push himself up, the young Jedi felt many emotions running through him.
With one powerful thrust of his hand, Anakin blocked the upcoming shots that came to him and the other Jedi. He is very powerful and shall outclashed these fools, then destroyed Palpatine and bring peace to the Republic.
Surprisingly, the blasters shots went through his hand and held no affect as it should. Anakin smirked at the confuse Clone Troopers and Admiral. "My turn," Anakin says. He then waved his hand and a powerful force blast left it, sending each of them back.
Palpatine seems to be confused about what just happen. He'd thought he will sense the Jedi dying but more Jedi survived. Only few thousands lived. Some clones disobeyed Order 66!
The Jedi Knight turn to Palpatine. "Your plan fails," Anakin said, raising an hand towards Yoda and Mace and they came up with him, and each pulled their weapons and activated their lightsabers, getting into a battle position. Really he didn't knew how many Jedi survived but it was good.
"How?" Palpatine was speechless. He had Skywalker beaten. He was so close to finally eliminate the Jedi. Oh, this is going to be an harsh battle. He can't take out Anakin, but he wasn't going to run like a empty corward.
Out of his robes came two menacing red lightsabers and he activated it, Sidious snarled with anger burning in his eyes. "You'll not stop me!" He then jumped towards the three Jedi so fast.
The three again gotten into a battle position, but Mace and Yoda were heavily exhausted so they can merely yet barely raised their blades and block the harsh attack.
Mace wanted to use vaapad against the Chancellor, but he was too tired in using it during the last battle so it was useless. The Jedi Master just couldn't keep up and something produced out of him and he fallen to the floor, clutching his stomach.
Clearly stunned by Mace's falling, Yoda didn't see an upward attack from Sidious that nearly cutted him. Skywalker came to his rescue and provided an attack, forcing Sidious back with Sidious's blade.
Faltering, Anakin kept blocking and deflecting as he felt millions of those strong in the force, Jedi falling. Despite hundreds of troopers resisting the order to execute the Jedi, millions had followed orders of the Chancellor and shot down their Jedi companions.
He grinned and send an fierce attack towards Skywalker's blade, forcing the whielder to fall back. He released lightning towards him, forcing Anakin back with a shout. Then Sidious lunged across and were about to impale him. Weaponless Skywalker didn't know what to do as Sidious were about to finish him, and he can merely close his eyes, but someone jumped in the way...
Master Yoda was imapled in the stomach by a red lightsaber leaving his chest. Surprised himself, Sidious retracted the lightsaber allowing him to fall and hit the ground.
Sidious cackled. At last, he manage to kill the Master of the Jedi Order and the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. He have won this day as he felt more Jedi dying. And the little survivors who have survived can be dealt with by his Empire.
Suddenly, he was slammed back into another room by an powerful yet unexpected force blast. He felt anger and fury leaving Skywalker's soul. He couldn't breathe in or anything as the Dark Side fuel another.
He can hear footsteps getting closer and closer as a lightsaber was buzzing highly as the figure neared him. Finding himself gueled for possibly once in his life Sidious felt fear and he can't do anything about the nearby threat. He knew he shouldn't have challenged Skywalker who only grows stronger each day.
Darth Vader stormed into the room.
A/N: I hope you guys like the little twists. To be honest, I mix legends and canon into this. Despite the chips, I cannot see Rex (who took out his chip but still) and Bly and an few others following Order 66 because they respected their Jedi Generals. I feel like the reason why they did it was because they were out on harsh planets and in the middle of battle so they thought fast. But Cody respects the Grand Army of the Republic and would follow others, given no choice.
About the others in the 501st, I have a feeling they did it because Skywalker was leading them. In my opinion, some of them were not loyal to the Chancellor (well not fully) but rather Anakin who was leading the assault.
