Obi-wan stood before the Council, sevral days after the fire.
"You think that Anakin did this?" Mace Windu asked him, curiously.
Obi-wan nodded.
"But you said yourself that you watched him die." Mace argued.
"Powerful, the sith are." Yoda piped up.
Obi-wan nodded, "I feel that perhaps we underestimated the sith, and I feel that Anakin has fully become one."
Master Yoda shook his head, "Hard to see, the darkside is." he said.
"Also, his presence in the force is completely gone. Vanished. Even if he died, someone should be able to at least feel a flicker of his force- signature." Obi-wan continued.
Master Yoda sighed. " Two sith there are. No more, no less. Know who they are, we do not. Know they are there, we do. Find a way to stop the, we must." the small green jedi stated.
Obi-wan and the council nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, masters." Obi-wan said, and left.
As he walked down the many corridors of the slowly rebuilding temple, his com-link buzzed.
There was a message, from Padme.
She sounded like she had been crying yet again, and all Obi-wan could understand from the message were the words Senate....P...tine....Empire....th......
Obi-wan vaguely realised what she was talking about, and speed-dialed her number.
"Hello?" Padme answered.
"Padme? It's me, Obi-wan." He said.
"Oh, Obi-wan! Did you hear?!" she demanded.
"Hear what?!" He asked.
"It's awful, Palpatine just anounced that he's..he's dissolving the republic!!!" she sobbed.
"He's what?! how can he?!" Obi-wan demanded.
"Jarjar gave him emergency powers, he has the right to..." Padme said, sounding sick.
"Sith!" Obi-wan swore. He knew the galaxy was in a lot of trouble, with the republic breaking apart.
"That...That's what he said he was!!!" Padme sobbed.
"Who, Palpatine...a...a..sith?" Obi-wan echoed in shock.
So Dooku had been right, the republic had been under the influence of the sith!
"Obi-wan, what am I going to do?" Padme asked, her voice filling with despair.
"I am going to contact the council, but I think it is best for you to go into hiding." Obi-wan stated.
"Okay, please call me back as soon as your done talking with the council." she begged.
"I will, I promise." Obi-wan said, as he hung up the com-link.
He let out a deep sigh, as he made his way back up to the council room.
This was going to be a long day....

The moment of triumph had finally come for Sideous.
About an hour ago, he had just told the media of his intentions of ending the republic, and had revealed his darkest secret, he was a sith.
No, it seemed all of Corusant was a buzz with the news.
And you know what? Sideous was enjoying it.
He enjoyed knowing people were terified of him.
Oh, but most of all, he enjoyed knowing the Jedi knew.
His apprentice though, did not share his pleasure.
Vader hated it.
He was afraid somehow, someone would discover that he wasn't Anakin Skywalker. And that he was someone else entirely.
It would spoil his plan of revealing himself to Kenobi one day.
A grin crossed Vader's face, but it was unseen due to his mask.
That was another thing that annoyed him, this blasted mask!
His master had insisted that he ware it though, so that no one could see his face or ever hear his true voice.
His thoughts drifted back to Kenobi, and how sweet revenge would be.....

Padme and Dorme were packing things as quick as they could.
Obi-wan still hadn't called her back, but Padme knew that Corusant was no longer safe for her, or anyone.
Padme picked up and old jewelry box, and sifted through it's contents.
One piece caught her eye.
She picked up the small wood, squarish penant, and clutched it in her fingers.
Memories cam rshing back....
"Are you an Angel?" the slave boy had asked.
"What?" She had responded, a bit surprised.
"An Angel. The live on the moons of Iego..." Anakin had told her.
The scene blurred to a bit later, on the Nubian Ship.
"I made this for you." Anakin had told her, handing her the small necklace.
"I carved it out of a japor snipet. It will bring you good fortune." Anakin had said. "I made it so you'd remember me." he sadly told her.
"Oh, Ani, I don't need ths to remember you by." She had told him.
BEEP-BEEP-BEEEEEP!!!!! Her comlink rang, shaking Padme out of her memories.
"H..Hello?" she said.
"Padme, the council has instructed that the Jedi flee.We have been assigned planets to go to, and we are instructed to stay there until we are contacted." Obi-wan's voice told her.
"What about me?" she asked.
"You may come with, Mi' lady." Obi-wan said.
"Yes, I think I need to leave also. What planet were you assigned?" she asked.
A chuckle escaped Obi-wan, "The picked a speicial place for me, so that Anakin will never come after me; Tattoine...." he said.
"Tattoine?" Padme Echoed. "Ani would never go back there, no matter what." She stated.
"I can imagine he wouldn't.... When will you be ready to leave?" he asked.
"How about you come here in a couple hours, and Dorme and I will finish getting ready."
"Allright, Mi'lady." Obi-wan said, and hung up.
Padme put the comlink down, and her gaze rested on the small penant once more.
Padme sighed, and slipped the necklace on.
Now, it was all she had left of Ani....
