As the Royal Naboo star ship left Naboo's atmosphere, Senator Amidala looked forward to meeting her husband. She was impatient to meet him. He was a Jedi Knight now.

'We have left Naboo's atmosphere, m'lady!' a royal guard informed. Then he bowed and left.

~*~

'We must inform the senate!' Ki-Adi-Mundi demanded.

'The senate will not listen! Palpatine has them under his control already' Obi-Wan pointed out.

'We shall kill if we have to!' Kit Fisto and Plo Koon seethed menacing at the same time.

'Remember masters, we are keepers of peace, not soldiers!' Mace Windu said sternly. 'Anakin' he said looking towards the jedi, 'I heard that Senator Amidala was coming to Coruscant. Make sure that she reaches the council safely. May the force be with you!'

'May the force be with you master!' Anakin said and left wondering why Padme had come back. He went towards the landing platform but on the way, he was met by Yaddle.

'What do you want, jedi spit?' Yaddle asked gripping his lightsaber with one hand.

'I need to get to the landing platform, Master Yaddle!' Anakin said calmly.

'You aren't getting there!!' Yaddle answered igniting his lightsaber. 'Master will be pleased to know that I have killed the traitor.'

'W-w-wait! Traitor? What do you mean traitor? And master?' Anakin asked totally confused.

'Master Sidious will be pleased!' Yaddle squealed twirling his new red bladed lightsaber in his hand. 'You will pay!'

Suddenly Anakin felt a jolt of electricity run through his body and fell to the floor. He looked in front of him and saw blue electricity come from Yaddle's fingers. He had been so confused up until now but he suddenly got it. Palpatine had wanted him to turn to the dark side but since he wasn't able to get Anakin, he'd gotten Yaddle.

Anakin contacted Obi-Wan through the force. \\Master, I need your help!

~*~

\\Master, I need your help!

Obi-Wan had felt it! His former padawan was in trouble! He quickly dashed out of the council room and ran to Anakin's aid.

When he reached mid-way to the landing platform, he heard yelling: "Ah!!........Help!.....Die!...." from not far ahead. He steadily fastened his pace until he was running at full regular speed. As he got closer, he saw it. Yaddle was using Force Lightning on Anakin!! He ran and kicked Yaddle to break up the force of the lightning.

Anakin lay on the ground breathing hard. If it had not been for Obi-Wan, he could've been killed.

'Are you okay?' Obi-Wan called coming over to Anakin's side as Yaddle fled.

'Yes, a little bit' Anakin said wincing at the pain he got as he moved slowly and tried to stand up.

'Come on. We have to find Senator Amidala!' Obi-Wan urged as Anakin got up.

~*~

'There are incoming starfighters, m'lady!' the guards yelled.

Padme looked out the window and saw twenty incoming Trade Federation fighters.

Yoda opened his eyes in the meditating chamber. Senator Amidala was in trouble.

Yoda tried to meditate more when he suddenly heard blaster fire. Mace Windu came in with his lightsaber ignited. 'There are thirty droidekas in the temple!!'

'Under attack the temple is? Inform the senate.we must' Yoda said smartly.

'Also under attack Senator Amidala is!' Yoda added. Mace nodded.

'We should tell Obi-Wan and Anakin to help the Senator in space!' he said and turned his comlink on.

'Skywalker here' a voice answered through the comlink.

'Anakin, you and Obi-Wan must fly the starfighters to aid Senator Amidala' Mace ended and turned the comlink off.

~*~

Anakin tried to keep up with Obi-Wan thinking about why Padme had even decided to get herself in trouble.

'Anakin, you take that ship' Obi-Wan said pointing to the ship across, 'and I'll take this one.'

He got to his ship and sat in. It was a pretty nice ship. He started the ship and flew it carefully over the hangar bay towards space where Padme needed help.

~*~

Padme looked sadly at the battle that was going on. She wished she had Anakin's help. They were losing badly! Two of the N-1 starfighters had gone down out of four. The good news though was that the fighters had taken out at least about 7 Trade Federation fighters with them.

'Senator, we only have one fighter left!' a guard informed her. Padme saddened at the news.

She was about to say "call a retreat" when she saw two Delta-7 fighters come into view and shoot down the enemies! 'Ani is here!' she whispered to herself.

Suddenly a familiar voice boomed over the comm. 'Leave the battle for Coruscant immediately!'

'Alright, move it royal ship! I am right behind you!' Captain Typho's voice came.

~*~

Anakin and Obi-Wan returned to Coruscant with heavy damage on their ships.

As soon as Anakin landed, he got off quickly and ran to the landing platform.

Just as he exited the building to the platform, he saw Palpatine waiting as Padme came down the ramp. He quickly ignited his lightsaber and yelled, 'No, Padme NO!!'

Palpatine turned around and saw Skywalker run at him with his blue saber. He quickly straightened his fingers and sent a jolt of lightning towards Anakin.

Anakin saw the lightning and blocked it with his saber as he ran towards Palpatine. Just as he was about to slice Palpatine's head, he felt himself fly back.

As he got up, he saw Count Dooku look at him amusedly. He wondered what was so amusing. As he got up slowly, he quietly motioned for Padme to run to the Jedi Temple.

~*~

Obi-Wan saw Anakin disappear towards the landing platform. He hurriedly went that way too but mid-way there, he saw Senator Amidala, R2-D2, C-3PO and Captain Typho running towards the temple. He went to help them. 'Senator Amidala, let me escort you!' he called as he saw Amidala turn and see him.

'Master Kenobi, I would love to have you escort me but Anakin is duelling Count and Palpatine! Please help him!' she called back.

Oh my god, he thought and ran as fast as he could.

~*~

Ki-Adi-Mundi walked with Plo Koon and Kit Fisto to the Senate Chambers.

On the way there, they met with Mon Mothma, the newest senator of the republic, who was representing Chandrilla. 'Senator Mothma, may we address the senate?' Ki-Adi-Mundi asked.

'Yes, of course but the problem is that the senate is under Palpatine's control.'

'We could still try!' Plo Koon said hopefully.

'Master Koon, there is no try!' Kit Fisto said sternly in an imitation of Yoda's voice.

~*~

Mace Windu moved his lightsaber wildly. Fighting thirty droidekas were not an easy job. He slashed at one, then spun to deflect laser but the droidekas didn't get hit because of their shields.

Suddenly he had an idea! He jumped to the back of all the droidekas and started slashing his way towards the front. It was working!
