Thanks for all my reviews! you're the BEST!
Chapter 6
The four Jedi made their way to the Chancellors office. They had looks on their faces that said, we mean business. Not surprisingly no one got in their way.
"Master Windu. I take it General Grievous has been destroyed then. I must say, you're here sooner than expected."
"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor." Mace said as the Jedi ignited their light sabres.
"Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" Palpatine said.
"The Senate will decide your fate."
"I am the Senate!" Palpatine said in anger.
"Not yet!" Mace retorted.
Mace stood, his light sabre appeared out of his cloak sleeve and he spun towards the Jedi. "It's treason, then." Palpatine quickly cut down three of the Jedi, leaving him against Mace. The fight was quick and very sensational. In the midst of it, Mace cut the window behind the Chancellors desk and Mace was forced to the ledge. They fought over the precipice. Mace was suddenly knocked off and killed. Palpatine quickly straitened his clothes, and in a harsh voice to himself he said, "If he will not join, he will die."
Yoda on Kahyyyk winced, closed his eyes and held his head at the disturbance he felt in the Force.
----------------------------
Anakin stood in the Council rooms. He too felt the disturbance in the Force. But he knew what it meant. He felt everything go clear for him now. He had made his choice and now he had to fight. He ran down the corridor, knowing that it wouldn't be long before the troopers would arrive. He pressed an alert button and Jedi from all over the Temple gathered in the central hall. Anakin stood at the top of the stairs as he saw them gather. "Soon an army of troopers will be arriving at our door. There will be too many for us to fight. Jedi, separate into groups, take to younglings and Padawans into hiding, don't come out until told via the beacon that 'the cat is dead.' It's code. Leave now." Anakin then rushed down the stairs as the Jedi did as told. Anakin was a member of the Council, a Master and a Hero, they were not going to question his judgement or knowledge. Anakin ran to Gaina, who already had a group of kids surrounding her. "Gaina, leave those Younglings to another, I need you go disable the beacon, leave it voice identity to only Obi Wan or Yoda. Send out that the Temple is under attack, go into hiding. Then get out of here." Anakin was about to rush off to prepare.
"What about you?" she asked. Her face filled with concern, as were the faces of the young ones around her. They all knew and like Anakin.
Anakin took Gaina to the side, out of earshot of the children and lowered his voice. "I'm going to delay them."
"But you'll be killed." she said in admonishment.
"Everyone has to die, I would rather die fighting. If I do die here however, look after my children, I know you and Obi Wan will raise them to be great Jedi." Anakin looked hard into her eyes. The promise meant a lot to him and she was not about to deny him, or that he would be killed.
"I promise," she said as she ran off to do her duty. Jedi in all directions scattered and ship were already leaving for parts unknown as Anakin took off his cloak and knelt down. He took deep breaths and prepared himself for the fight of his life.
----------------------------------
In Utapau, as the battle continued, Obi Wan rode up the Commander Cody. "Commander, contact your troops. Tell them to move to the higher levels."
"Very good, sir," Cody started to move away, but then remembered something and turned back to Obi Wan, "Oh, by the way, I think you'll be needing this." Cody handed Obi Wan his light sabre.
"Thank you, Cody," Obi Wan smiled, "Now let's get a move on. We've got a battle to win here."
"Yes, sir!" Obi Wan and the lizard rode off down the wall of the cliff face.
Commander Cody felt his comlink go off as he lead the battle onward, "Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute Order Sixty-Six."
"It will be done, My Lord." Cody gestured to a nearby clone trooper. "Blast him!"
Obi Wan was racing down the battlefield, destroying all droids in his pat when a volley of laser blasts hit him and he got knocked off his lizard and fell down the crevice. He turned just in time to see that it was his own troopers doing the damage before he fell into the water.
----------------------------------------
Anakin, in his meditative state, waiting for the troopers to arrive felt Obi Wan fall, as well as Ki-Adi Mundi was blasted from his own troopers from behind, before he could defend himself. The same for Jedi Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee. Anakin felt their deaths, and knew it to be at the hands of the clone Troopers. His visions were coming true, again. But there was one thing he didn't see. Droids heading towards a cave, Han hidden as he watched his parents killed.
---------------------------------------
Yoda dropped his gimer stick and clutched his chest as he fell to the ground. So many dead! Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, Plo Koon and Stass Allie. Many more, many many more as well. Yoda continued to watch from the balcony as the battle raged on. Heavy grief in his heart. Commander Gree and another Officer came close to Yoda and revealed their weapons. Yoda quickly dispatched the two troopers as others entered the room. Chewbacca and Tarful fired their weapons at the clone troopers. Chewbacca picked up Yoda and carried him away. On the way out, they see a lone boy of about nine years of age. Tarful picked him up. His parents already dead.
-----------------------------------------
The doors opened to the Temple. Most of the occupants had already left, leaving one loan Jedi Master. Anakin stood in the doorway, his light sabre ignited in a ready stance. The troopers started to fire at him, but Anakin whirled his light sabre round in such quick motions that none got past him to hit him. It was a blur of blue, no one had ever moved that fast. Anakin showed that he really was the Chosen One. The laser bolts deflected went right back to the troopers and Anakin was quickly picking off the troopers in their usual block formation. They kept coming forward, and they kept falling. Anakin knew he was doomed to die.
---------------------------------------------
3PO and Padme looked out her apartment window a the bright lights flashing from the Temple.
"There is no response from the Jedi Temple. But don't worry, My Lady. I am sure he will be all right." 3PO said. Padme just burst into tears.
