The four Jedi walk into the Chancellors office, among them, Mace Windu. The Chancellors chair turns around.
"Master Windu, I take it General Grievous has been destroyed. I must say you're here sooner than expected." Palpatine says, his voice sounding different, his tone dark.
"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor." Windu says as he unclips his saber, his purple blade illuminating the office, three more blades light up, and the four Jedi prepare for the fight yet to happen.
"Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" Palpatine growls, his face scowling.
"The Senate will decide your fate." Windu says, his tone sounding demanding.
"I. Am. The. Senate." Palpatine says, his voice deepening, as the tension in the room rises.
"Not yet." Windu says. Palpatine gets up from his seat and summons his saber from his robe.
"It's treason then." Palpatine replies, his voice sounding dark, as he ignites his bleeding red saber. He jumps and twirls in the air like a tornado, attacking the Jedi. He stabs one of the Jedi, he slices the second Jedi, and then he slices in half Kit Fisto. Only Mace Windu remains alive. They both duel, and many times either of them is almost killed by the other. They make their way to a window, Mace finally knocking the Chancellor down, he points his purple saber at the Sith, threatening to kill him if he moves.
"You are under arrest, my Lord." Windu finalizes, the last words spit out sarcastically.
Anakin Skywalker walks in the room and looks between the two.
"Anakin, I told you it would come to this." Sidious says, his voice suddenly sounding all weak. "I was right, the Jedi are taking over."
"The oppression of the Sith will never return. You have lost." Windu says.
"No. No. NO! YOU HAVE LOST!" Sidious shouts as he sends Force lightning towards Mace. Mace quickly deflects it back towards the Sith.
"He is the traitor." Mace says as he shouts in pain.
"I have the power to save the one you love. You must choose." Palpatine says, his voice weakening. Anakin looks between the two, his emotions conflicted.
"Don't listen to him, Anakin!" Mace says as he blocks more lightning.
"Don't let him kill me." Palpatine says, his voice crying out.
"I can't hold it any longer. I.. I… I.. can't help it, to weak. Anakin! Help me, help me!" Palpatine shouts. "I.. I.. I… I.. can't hold on any longer." The lightning stops.
"I am going to end this, once and for all." Mace says.
"You can't, he must stand trial!" Anakin objects.
"He has control of the Senate and of the Courts, he is too dangerous to be left alive." Mace states.
"I'm too weak, oh, don't kill me, please." Palpatine cries.
"It's not the Jedi way, he must live!" Anakin protests.
"Don't you see, Anakin, he's manipulating you!" Mace shouts over the crying Chancellor.
"I need him!" Anakin shouts.
"Why, Anakin? Why do you need him? Because he can save your wife? Because he can give you power?" Mace questions. Anakin's eyes go wide in surprise.
"How did you know" Anakin asks, shocked.
"You two weren't very subtle. Remember when you returned with the Chancellor from the rescue mission, I saw you kissing Senator Amidala from behind the columns." Mace explains.
"And you didn't tell the Council?" Anakin inquires.
"Anakin, help me now! Please!" Palpatine cries.
"Shut up!" Mace yells at the Chancellor. "No, I didn't Master Yoda and Plo already knew, so we decided to let your relationship with the Senator happen because you weren't attached." Mace explains.
"What about the code?" Anakin asks.
"The code bans attachment, not love. We are allowed to love, do you think I don't love my padawan, Depa, or Obi-Wan doesn't love you?
Attachment is different, attachment blinds you, and makes you make rash decisions without even thinking logically. Do you think the Senator would want you to kill Jedi, take over the Galaxy, and become a Sith because you're afraid she'll die when you don't even know if she will?" Mace reasons.
"But my visions?" Anakin asks.
"Did you even tell the Chancellor the Senator was pregnant?" Mace asks and Anakin's eyes go wide.
"No, I didn't." Anakin responds.
"I think we know then what's been going on. The Chancellor has been sending you those visions, to try and persuade you to the Darkside, he's a Sith, Anakin, it's what they do." Mace says, ending this conversation. "I suggest you go and be with your wife." Anakin nods and rushes out of the room, leaving the Chancellor to his doom.
"Finally, I can do what I've been wanting to do since the start of this war." Mace says and raises his saber.
"Wait, wait! If you kill me, you'll lose the chance at ultimate power also. I can give you all the power you need, make you immortal." Sidious pleads.
"Yeah, I'd much rather just kill you now." Mace says and beheads the former Sith Lord.
His comm beeps and he quickly answers.
"Mace, the Chancellor is a Sith Lord, I found messages from him to Grievous." Obi-Wan says.
"Yeah, I already figured that out, Obi-Wan." Mace says and shows him the dead Sith Lord.
"That's a relief. Well, now the war is over." Obi-Wan says.
"Yeah, but we're going to have one heck of a Council meeting with the Senate. Also, your padawan needs therapy." Mace says and hangs up. He sighs and shakes his head, having a killer headache now.
Why does he have to deal with everyone's crap! I need to retire. Mace thinks as he leaves the room.
