Padmé sat in Anakin's quarters in the Jedi Temple, her face pale from shock. SHe had just recieved word that General Grevious' Magna guards had wiped out the Jedi who had went to Kuar to stop him. Anakin was included in the 3 Jedi who where there.

She swallowed hard, feeling tears form in the corners of her eyes. She stood, her commlink still tightly grasped in her hand. Putting her hand on the window, followed by her forehead, she let the tears fall.

Meanwhile...

"Obi Wan, we have to get out of here!" Anakin yelled over the Magna guards blasters. Mace Windu, who was frantically blocking shots left and right, agreed.

"This ends NOW!" Mace yelled, lunging (sp?) at 2 Magna's, and successfully cutting then both in half, his purple saber glowing fiercly. After seeing this, Anakin jumped behind one of the guards, slicing its head clean off, watching it fall to the hard metal floor of the hanger, making a loud clang echo.

"I am indeed impressed," an evil, electronic voice bellowed. The 3 Jedi looked around the hanger quickly. Obi Wan gestured with a nod of his head towards the doorway. General Grevious stood there, clapping his metal hands together. "You Jedi are stronger then I had thought," he said, walking towards them, igniting each of his four lightsabers similtaneously. The 3 Jedi stood their ground.

"Anakin, aboard the ship," Obi Wan said via the force. Anakin gave him a questioning look.
"No. I'm staying. I want to fight," he said back through the force.
"Anakin, get on board. That's an order. Your the best pilot from the 3 of us. You will be able to fly low enough to pick myself and Master Windu up. Grevious has too many reinforcements for us to stay and fight," Obi Wan finished through the force. Anakin clenched his jaws. He hated when Obi Wan lectured him. Reluctantly, he boarded the ship quickly.

General Grevious' cold, red eyes followed Anakin into the ship, although he didn't show much interest. He again fixed his eyes on Obi Wan and Mace. The 2 Jedi stared equally cold back at him. Suddenly 10 Super battle droids entered the hanger, each aiming to kill the Jedi. General Grevious let out a maniacal laugh.

Obi Wan and Mace Windu quickly began to tire. Anakin flew overhead carefully, steadying the ship over his master and Master Windu.

"This isn't over, Grevious," Obi Wan yelled as they jumped onto the ship. Anakin quickly closed the hatch, and started out of the atmosphere.

Padmé was still staring out the window, watching the busy streets of Coruscant. She swallowed again, letting out a deep breath. She blinked, tears still falling from her deep brown eyes. SHe didn't want to believe it. She wanted to wake up and this to be all a horrible dream. She felt weak at the knees, but remained standing. She so wanted to talk to someone, but no one was to know about her predicament. She felt helpless, so helpless...
