Chapter 2: Balance between Light and Darkness.

Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar walked into the Supreme Chancellor's office.

'Master Windu, I suggest that General Grievous has been defeated.'

They didn't answer him, but Master Tiin tried to perceive his mind.

'Though I have to say you're here earlier then I had expected.'

Mace walked forward, and Kit, Saesee, and Agen stepped next to him.

'In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic,' he spoke loudly and determined, 'You're under arrest, Chancellor.'

'Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?' Palpatine said, slightly annoyed.

'The Senate will decide your fate,' Mace said, his face harsh.

'I am the Senate.' Palpatine spoke, anger etched in his face.

'Not yet.' Mace said, eyeing the Chancellor.

'Then it is treason.' Palpatine slowly stood up, lift his hands up, and suddenly the Senate a Republic ship hovered in front of the window. A squadron of Clones bursted out of the Ship.

'Move! Move!' they screamed

Palpatine jumped back, and landed perfectly on the deck. He started laughing. The Clones opened fire at the Jedi. Kit immediately jumped over them, slashing through two Clones. Mace deflected the blasterfire with his lightsaber, and lifted one hand. Three clones were thrown of the Building, and fell into the Coruscant night below. The Jedi finished off the last of the troopers and ran back to the Temple, awaiting the storm…

Hyperspace, somewhere near Coruscant.

'Be ready to jump out of hyperspace,' Plo Koon said through the comlink.

R4-D4 beeped an answer back.

'I don't care if the whole Separatist fleet is there, just do it.'

Slowly the blue lights started to vanish.

'Now…that's better,' he said trusting.

Jedi Temple, Coruscant

He maneuvered through the space of Coruscant, and landed just in front of the Jedi Temple.

'So…Palpatine is dead, I presume?' he said slowly, walking next to Master Windu.

'No,' Mace said, 'He escaped.

Suddenly a Padawan came running towards them.

'Masters…Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, Kenobi, Skywalker and Gallia have arrived. Master Secura is on her way to the temple too.

'Good…' Windu said, 'Call in a session of Council. We must discuss this matter.

Senate Building, Coruscant.

'And the attempt on my life has been foiled.' Palpatine spoke, 'The Jedi have turned on the Republic. None of them should be trusted. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and destroyed.' The arena burst out in thunderous applause.

'To maintain the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society!' The arena burst out again.

On one of the Senate Pods Senator Amidala spoke softly: 'So this is how libertly dies… under a thunderous applause.'
'What now?' Bail Organa asked.

'We must go to the Jedi Temple,' she answered, 'We have to inform the High Council'

'I concur…' Bail said. 'The Jedi can protect our alliance.'

So the two Senators sped off to the Jedi Temple, disgruntled by what they heard…
