Within the hour the rodian male deputy chancellor named Gyzar became acting chancellor. That wasn't weird. What was weird was when word was already going around about swearing him in as the new chancellor when the old one hadn't even had a trial yet.

"Boss. It seems that both gyzar and his family have a long history of employment with the Jedi order prior to entering politics." "So they're pro Jedi." "It would seem so."

We took a seat on a bench in the senate district conservatory; Amica monitored holo net traffic. I'd needed to walk and clear my head; getting back to natural life settings helped a Jedi to focus. "Gyzar will likely take your military commission soon." That made sense. The pardon was good for the past but not the future; and the gray order bill was in trouble now.

"Anakin. Gyzar's office has just put out orders…" "ending my commission?" "That too; and he's assigned the Jedi order to take immediate control of the commie ship."

"Very good master torrath. Very good indeed." The real question now was would the army men obey me or the Jedi council…

"Boss, my scanning of Republican comms indicates the Freedom and its ships have not responded to the Jedi orders…"

Even more interesting yet. We might be on to something here.

"Anakin… Gyzar has just put out a warrant for your arrest…" Yep. Saw that coming too. It all made sense. I stood. She matched me. I sighed. "Anakin, we should return to the under city and regroup." I faced her. "You'll go back to the underworld Amica. Help the others until I get back."

She didn't know what to say. I placed a hand on her shoulder. "Trust me." She nodded then moved off.

I then faced the direction of the Jedi temple. All right master torrath. We'll do this your way.

Xxx

I returned to the temple lobby with hood raised. "It's him! Arrest him!" The temple guards said.

They came at me. Now I had to be who I was meant to be.

As they came I called upon the Force and froze all of them in place. No mercy could be shown now if the republic was gonna survive the many reds still out there.

I crushed their necks in the Force and dropped them dead. More came. I hit them with Force lightning. They screamed as they were fried. Laser bolts passed through me as my glorified form phased out of range beyond their weapons. I continued to use the Force to crush them all. I hated this but it was necessary to save the Republic from itself. While we played politics we got weaker and the reds only got stronger.

I could no longer allow this. And I would not.

At no point in my one man assault did I use my sword. This was a demonstration of pure force mastery at work now. I had to show them that I was the savior and that my word was law. And I was laying it down here. This nonsense had to end. And it was gonna. Right now.

The council was in session. They knew I was coming. I took the elevator up to meet them. I arrived. They were there with swords lit.

"You will pay for this evil Vader," torrath declared. I was ready with my counter. "I am the chosen one of the Force; and by this divine authority I declare this Jedi council and its order null and void. Disband now; or die."

"Never!" They countered and came at me. So be it.

I raised my hand and they all froze. They dropped their swords and clutched at their chests. I then ripped their life forces out with the force and sent them into the cosmic force itself. The empty shells of their bodies then dropped to the council floor.

The Jedi council had been adjourned forever.

Xxx

I then went to the senate guard detention facility to free chancellor marna. Word traveled fast of what I'd just done to the Jedi council without breaking a sweat.

Sometimes the surgical application of force was the only way to get the point across. And that point had been made loud and clear now.

As Vader I once told the imperial commanders that destroying a planet was insignificant next to the power of the force. They thought I was exaggerating. I wasn't.

The blue guard and their security droids took up security positions to counter my approach. I reached out with the all powerful energy field with countless names took hold of the entire front portion of the detention center and ripped it off to expose everything inside.

They fired at me but everything passed through me like it was nothing. Their terror increased as I entered without use of a conventional weapon.

I force shoved them all to crash into each other and building walls. This opened the hole needed to get to the captive chancellor.

There a panicked security droid fired on marna to prevent my rescue attempt. This was right before I smashed it to bits in the Force and tossed it away.

I then entered marna's cell and used the Force to swiftly heal her life threatening blaster wound. She gasped and groaned as this happened. She was coherent enough to see me do it. She felt her wound vanish before her eyes.

I then used the Force to bring her to her feet and helped her walked out. None opposed us; at least for now. "You really are the chosen one…" "Yep."

"Take me to gyzar. That lizard. I'm gonna show him he can't take the chancellery so quickly from me with those backstabbing Jedi stooges."

I stopped. "What is it?" "I destroyed the Jedi council for their treason." "Oh no. Lord Jedi…" "I had to. We're still under major communist threat. Now is not the time for the Republic to fracture. This is what the red enemy wants. The Gray order must take immediate control of all Republican security operations. Now."

She gave a weak nod. To me that was the nod of the rightful chancellor in a state of emergency. Time for more results; my specialty.
