Chapter 6

Everyone had assembled in the meeting room. Here in this room there were many admirals, troops, and pilots. There was also Bail Organa, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and his wife Padme, whom he recently found out, was carrying twins. Clearly with the troops here this was something that the Jedi and Bail were expecting with the new Empire for some time. There was quite a large army.

Anakin stood up, "Thanks for coming on such short notice. As you know the Emperor has amassed a huge army. We would stand little chance, despite the fact that we have a huge army here, of winning a war. In fact if we don't play things right, we may take decades for you to win."

It was kind of irony that Anakin was speaking like they may or may not win. He knew what the outcome was going to be if they took several decades to do this, they would be victorious at Endor. But it was true that it would take a long time.

Anakin continued, "That is why I have come up with a plan, a risky plan, but if it works it should work. We take just about everything to the following coordinates. Here the Emperor is building a weapon called the "Death Star. This is a huge weapon with enough power to destroy a planet. It will probably take 20 years to complete. The battle will be a diversion. Prior to the battle myself, Yoda, and Obi-Wan will sneak onto the ship, at which point you guys will attack. We will detain him and bring him to Coruscant. At the start of the battle, Bail will have brought information that is being unlinked to his computers with extensive evidence of treason of the Emperor. When we get back he will be tried and we executed. The Emperor has most ships spread throughout the galaxy trying to prevent rebellion"

Someone asked, "Why try him, can't you kill him there?"

Anakin spoke, "if we do that he will be a martyr. If we try him by the laws he will not be one."

Another person asked, "Where did you get this information."

Anakin looked down and said, "Because up until a few days ago I was with him." Anakin told them about everything that has transpired.

Everyone was stunned. One person said, "What a monster Palpatine is!"

Anakin shook his head, "No we both are." He looked up, "I suggest a vote on whether or not to do this."

Someone else asked, "What if this fails?"

Anakin gave him a piercing gaze, "We can't fail, or our galaxy is lost either way."

An hour passed and the vote was unanimous everyone voted that this was a good idea to go by. Then in another hour everyone was busy getting ready. Anakin was getting his star ship ready. When Obi-Wan and Yoda came up to him.

Obi-Wan was smiling, "Anakin, we are really proud of how much you have changed. You are finally taking responsibility, but how do you intend to get us onboard?"

Anakin nodded, "Well you guys are going to fly with me in the cargo hangar of my ship and come out when I give you the signal. I will just play that I am still on his side, and I was spending the last few days wiping out the remaining Jedi, primarily you two. "

Anakin's ship flew off of Polis Masa and jumped into hyperspace with the rest of the crew behind him in the next 20 minutes.
