A/n OMG I have gotten more reviews then I would have thought I'm up to 26! Whoo-hoo! Please keep 'em coming! Hurray for RotS I'm watching it again! And Hurray for John Williams music! LoL I was bored and put that.
Grievous Droid Leader: Thank you and maybe I should take longer on my chapters ; )
Jedi Master Arie Skywalker: Thank you.
Captain Sarah Sparrow: Glad you like it!
G-Anakin13: Thank you
Yodudes5: This soon enough lol?
"This meeting of the Jedi Council is now in session." Master Windu announced. "Master Kenobi it's a pleasure to see that you are alright." He nodded towards the holographic form of Master Kenobi. Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda were currently flying in a Republic cruiser on their way back to Coruscant.
"Yes, thank you Master." Obi-Wan replied. He currently had a bandage around his waist, setting his three broken ribs. Also a bacta patch adorned his left leg over the sniper wound.
"Master Yoda your report."
"Grave news I bring." Master Yoda replied, shaking his head. "Discovered the identity of the Sith Lord we did." He surveyed the room and took a deep breath. "Chancellor Palpatine, it is." A few of the council members gasped in shock and Master Windu glanced carefully at Anakin.
"How can this be?" Master Mundi asked. "The Sith Lord has been right under our nose the whole time!"
"Yes, disturbing this matter is. How he hid from us this whole time, I do not know." Master Yoda concured
"I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi." Master Windu said and Obi-Wan nodded in agreement.
"Palpatine has gained so much power recently…he must be planning something," Obi-Wan stated.
"That is another matter," Anakin began, "that deals with the Senate. Now that Chancellor Palpatine is discovered, we must announce this to the them."
"To ensure a peaceful transaction, the Jedi Council must take control of the Senate." Master Windu said.
"To a dark place, this line of thought leads us." Yoda stated gravly.
"Once you arrive we will order an emergency session of the Senate." Master Windu finished.With that the image of the Jedi Council winked out and Master Yoda sighed.
"A new Supreme Chancellor is needed as well." Master Yoda said.
"And one with less power" Obi-Wan agreed and the other two nodded.
&&&
"You are probably wondering many things." Master Windu announced. The Senate was in session and many Senators were shocked to see Master Windu standing where the Chancellor should have been. Along with Master Windu, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin were standing on the Chancellor's podium.
"For those who do not know I am Jedi Master Windu, this is Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, and Master Skywalker." Obi-Wan stole a quick glance at Anakin and the two smiled. Anakin was granted the rank of Master, after killing Grievous.
"Master Kenobi was recently captured by General Grievous." There were a couple of noises of shock at this statement.
"Master Skywalker and Yoda went on a rescue mission to save him. There, Master Skywalker killed General Grievous," A mild applause sounded through the senate building, "and we discovered the identity of the Sith Lord we have been looking for, the Sith Lord was Chancellor Palpatine." There was an uproar from the Senate. Many gasped, some cried out, and others were furious.
"How can this be?" exclaimed a senator, his pod coming forward. "How do we know if this is just a clever ploy of yours and your trying to take over the Senate?
"Senator, listen to what you are saying!" Senator Mon Mothma defended. "The Jedi have saved many of our planets during the war and have been the protectors of peace for ages! And if I do remember correctly, they did save your planet and yourself a few months ago did they not?" Senator Mothma's statement was met with applause and the other Senator was deeply embarrassed.
"Thank you Senator Mothma," Master Windu said. "Now we must attend to an important matter, we must elect a new Chancellor. We will hear nominations today and then vote tomorrow, but for now a thirty minute recess will commense."
&&&
"How can this be?" Bail asked. While the Senate was in recess he, Mon Mothma, and Padme were talking.
"I do not know, but this is far from over even with Palpatine out of office." Mon replied.
"With Grievous dead does that mean the war is over?" Bail asked.
"That will be up to the Jedi and the newly appointed Chancellor." Mon said. "This is a very dark time for us, and embarrassing. The one person we have been fighting against all these years, the one who has lost us some many lives, was the one person some we looked to for hope." Bail shook his head and Padme was lost in thought. "What is wrong Padme?"
"I just can't believe…Palpatine and I were good friends, I just can't believe I was so blind." Padme said holding back tears and Mon gave patted her on the shoulder.
"It's not that we are blind Padme, it's just that we never even thought of suspecting Palpatine of being a Sith." Bail replied. "Come, we must head back."
&&&
"Before we accept nominations, another matter has been presented to me, the war." Master Windu told the Senate. "Now that Grievous has been destroyed, there is no one to command the droid armies except for Palpatine. On paper the war is over, but until Palpatine is arrested or killed the fighting will unfortunately continue. For now though, any nominations for the position of Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate?"
"I nominate Senator Mesa-Nisa Leinas of Atghau!" A senator said.
"I second that," Another Senator said.
"Very well, Senator Mesa-Nisa, do you accept this nomination?"
"Yes I do," Senator Mesa-Nisa replied.
"I nominate Senator Mon Mothma!" Bail Organa said.
"Second!" Padme said. Mon Mothma beamed over at her.
"Senator Mothma do you accept the nomination?" Master Windu asked.
"Yes I do," Mon said.
"Very well, anymore nominations?"
&&&
"How about 'Darth Sidious'?" Obi-Wan tried. He and Anakin were currently in Palpatine's office trying to figure out his password so they could find out what he was up to. Anakin typed it in and shook his head. He typed in 'Chancellor Palpatine', still nothing.
"C'mon this guy does not follow the books! Passwords are supposed to be so obvious that no one would ever think of them!" Anakin exclaimed.
"Really then what is yours, 'Anakin Skywalker'?" Obi-Wan asked and Anakin shook his head. "Oh I know 'Anakin Skywalker is the sexiest man in the galaxy'?" Obi-Wan laughed.
"I'm glad you finally agree with me on something, but your close though." Anakin said smiling.
"Ok is it 'Anakin is sexier…'." Anakin nodded, "then Obi-Wan!" Anakin burst out laughing. "Anakin!" Obi-Wan exclaimed almost in a reprimanding tone, but playfully punched his old padawan's arm.
"Now I have to change my password!" Anakin said. "Wait I got it!" Anakin quickly typed in 'Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith lord ever!'" The screen flashed 'password accepted'.
"Typical." they both said. Anakin clicked on a couple of links and a blueprints for a sphere popped up. The two read a little bit and gasped.
"That cannot be!" Obi-Wan said. "A space station could not have enough power to destroy an entire planet!"
"Yes, and Chancellor Palpatine is a nice old man who wants peace through out the galaxy!" Anakin said sarcastically. "Everything we thought we knew doesn't exist anymore." They clicked on a few more items and Anakin let out a whistle.
"Emperor?" Anakin asked "God, this guy is really thinking outside the box!" They click on a few more and they both gasped. Anakin and Obi-Wan looked at each other.
"We have to warn the Jedi Council immediately!" Obi-Wan said as they raced out of the room.
&&&
"Master Yoda!" Anakin yelled and Yoda turned around to see Anakin and Obi-Wan running toward him.
"We need to see the Jedi Council immediately!" Obi-Wan stated.
&&&
"What is this news that you bring?" Master Windu asked.
"We have learned of a terrible plan to destroy the Jedi." Anakin said.
"It seems that we are not the only ones in control of the clone troops," Obi-Wan said. "Palpatine has total control over them and he was planning to order them to destroy every Jedi in the order."
"Disturbing, this is." Master Yoda said.
"We must warn all the Jedi," Master Mundi said.
"Yes, we can no longer trust our clone troops." Master Windu agreed. "We must tell all Jedi to return here as soon as possible."
"And locate Palpatine," Anakin said.
"Come to us, I feel he will." Master Yoda said. "Rest, he will not, until every Jedi is dead."
