When he was convinced that he had gained all her power, he gently laid her unconscious body on the floor, kissing her head softly. Then he stood up and walked towards her ship.

A small cube, no more than an inch big, was floating through the air towards him, over the tops of the silent Jedi audience.

He reached out and called the cube to his hands with the Force. Then he caught it in one hand and immediately felt the transfer again as the energy was sucked from his body. He could feel the world growing darker around him as the last drop of energy was trapped back inside the cube. Anakin fell to the floor, drained and exhausted, allowing his heavy eyelids to shut out the rest of the world.

Yoda hobbled forwards on his new leg and scooped the cube up with his sleeve, wrapping it tightly in cloth before tucking it in his belt. The Clones stepped forwards at last and dropped their guns in a pile.

Commander Cody knelt infront of Yoda with his head bowed.

"Forgive us Master Yoda. We were confused."

"All is forgotten Commander. Now, help us you can. Clean up this mess, we must and away from this planet go. Back to Coruscant and the temple of the Jedi."

"Yes Master." Commander Cody nodded before standing back up and ordering his troops to start the clean-up. Obi-Wan gently scooped Padme into his arms whilst Mace Windu and another clone dragged Anakin's limp form up, throwing his arms over their shoulders.

The two heroes were taken back to Padme's ship, and once Yoda, Commander Cody and two other clones had also jumped on board, were taken back to the medical centre on Coruscant.

In no time at all, the Platform was cleared as the clones and Jedi boarded their own ships and took off, leaving the temple and the battle scarred platform far behind. All that remained of the Emperor was a pile of smouldering ash that was slowly taken away and scattered by the strong gust of wind that had descended upon the hell hole.
