CHAPTER 4

"Palpatine you are under arrest for conspiracy against the Jedi Order and the Republic." Said Master Windu.

"You fools! You are no match for a Sith!" Darth Sidious ignited his crimson-red Lightsaber and approached the four Jedi before him.

"That's what you think!" Hissed Anakin. Obi-Wan turned towards Yoda.

"Do we attack him all at once master?"

"No, take him now you and Master Windu must. Come in the battle later, Skywalker and I will." Obi-Wan and Mace Windu nodded their agreement. The two Jedi approached Darth Sidious with their blue and purple Lightsabers.

Darth Sidious was very powerful; he easily deflected their attacks and eventually threw Master Windu against a rail, knocking him out. He turned around quickly and sent Force lightning towards both Yoda and Anakin, tossing them against the wall behind them but not knocking them out. Before Obi-Wan could react, Darth Sidious shoved his Lightsaber directly into the Jedi's chest.

"Nooooooo!" Anakin woke up screaming. He heard and sensed Obi-Wan get up and head for his Padawan's room.

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan appeared in the door, holding onto the frame for support. "Are you alright?" He sat beside his Padawan on the bed.

"I… I'm all right… just a dream." Anakin was breathing heavily.

"Are you sure?" Anakin's master looked upon his Padawan with concern. "That was some dream, you're shaking." Anakin looked at his trembling hands.

"I'm sure master. I'll be fine now." Anakin started to get up. "I'm sorry I made you get out of bed. I'll help you back to your room."

"No it's fine. I made it here, I can surely make it back okay." Obi-Wan smiled. He messed up Anakin's hair and headed back to his room. Anakin was left alone in the darkened room. Anakin started wondering if these dreams were not a premonition of some sort. The last time he had dreams like this, they were about his mother. He started fearing the worst and wondered if he should tell his master.

"We never should have trusted the Viceroy, now we have to remain in hiding and we lost the Clones!" General Grievous paced the room while coughing and wheezing.

"I am as enraged as you are General; I lost Skywalker's trust." Sidious' eyes flamed.

"Why is that so important to our plan to rid the galaxy of the Jedi?" Grievous looked over at the Sith Lord standing a few feet away.

"Should I remind you that Skywalker is the Chosen One, General? It will be much harder to turn Anakin to the Dark Side now that my true identity has been revealed."

"Not to mention he is always with Obi-Wan Kenobi, trying to approach him will be much to risky." Sidious looked at Grievous.

"He has become very close to Obi-Wan…" The Dark Lord laughed evilly and exited the room, leaving General Grievous alone.

A week had passed and in just two more weeks, Obi-Wan would be back at the Jedi temple training to regain the strength he lost due to his injuries. Anakin's dreams kept coming back every night and desperately tried to push them away with no success. Everything was slowly coming back to normal at their commons. That morning, Obi-Wan was up and had made breakfast for both of them.

"You really should be staying in bed, master." Obi-Wan grinned.

"Anakin, I'm not doing anything to strain by injuries. I don't run around on my leg and I don't lift anything heavy." Anakin shook his head and smiled. "Besides… if I spend another day in that room I'll go insane." Obi-Wan lifted his head at his Padawan.

"All right then, but don't over do it." Anakin said as he took his plate towards the sink. Just as he turned around, the living room window shattered and laser blasters shot around the room. When they finally stopped, Obi-Wan got up from the floor. Shattered glass from the window was everywhere. It looked like their apartment was hit with a blaster bomb.

"Anakin?" Obi-Wan searched the room with his eyes. "Anakin!"

"Yeah… I'm alive." Anakin got up from behind the counter holding his right arm. "But I'm not doing so good." Blood was dripping through his fingers.

"You've been shot. Come, let's get you to the healers." Obi-Wan headed towards his Padawan.

"Master, what's that on the floor?" Anakin pointed to a round black object on the living room floor among the debris.

"It's a message." Obi-Wan picked up the mysterious message and place it on what was left of the island in the kitchen.

"Play it." Obi-Wan pushed the small red button on the top and a video recording appeared. "Palpatine!" The Jedi saw a bluish transmission of Darth Sidious glowing on the counter.

"Greetings Master Kenobi. I get it you've received my wake up call." Sidious laughed. "And I assume young Skywalker is with you. If you are both still alive, bring this message to the Jedi Counsel." He paused. "You have killed my best apprentice Skywalker."

"He almost killed my master!" Anakin growled.

"He can't hear you Anakin, it's pre-recorded." Anakin started pacing the room.

"My message to the Jedi Counsel is this. I created a Droid Army. When I give the order, they will march into the Temple and kill the Jedi until none is left." Obi-Wan and Anakin turned towards each other. "I am ready to reconsider though. I will contact you again soon." The transmission ended. Obi-Wan sighed and grabbed the transmission before leading his Padawan towards the healers.

Yeah! Grievous is in my story... I just love that creepy guy, expecially the way he coughs and stuff. When we went to see Star Wars 3 in theaters, Cel-Edhowi Art'k asked me... "Do droids cough?" and I was like um... don't think so. Anyway we found out why Grievous coughs and I won't spill it to those who haven't seen the movie... it's pretty cool!
