Palpatine has been arrested. But, what will happen now? Read the new chapter to find out. Oh, and one more thing before I continue. I NEED REVIEWS! Oh, so you know, this is the final chapter.

Nine months later, a new Supreme Chancellor had not been chosen. The Senate had finally decided to choose a subcommittee to decide on who to nominate as Supreme Chancellor to succeed Palpatine. One evening, Kitch received a message to meet Padme outside of the Senate building. Not knowing why, Kitch did as she requested. When he arrived, Padme was waiting for him.

"Kitch, I'm glad you could make it."

"I sense this is important, so go ahead and tell me what you need."

"It seems we can't make up our minds on who to choose as Supreme Chancellor. I would like you to sit in on a meeting and give us your opinion."

"I can do that, but why me?"

"Because, we need someone who knows what they are doing, and out of all of the Jedi you are the best political mind they have, so Master Yoda is allowing you to help us out. You are my official aid during this meeting."

"Okay. So, How are the twins?"

"They are doing fine. I'm still getting used to them."

"I hear that. Is the subcommittee waiting on us?"

"They are."

"Okay then, let's go."

The two walked into the Senate building and made their way to the conference room where the rest of the subcommittee was waiting. Kitch only recognized three other Senators: Bail Organa from Alderaan, Senator Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia, and Senator Mon Mothma from Chandrilla Kitch bowed as he entered the room.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's continue. We want to be careful about our next Supreme Chancellor. We thought Palpatine was the perfect choice for replacing Chancellor Valorum, but look what happened. Let's face it Senators, we can't really trust anyone anymore."

"Senator Amidala - Padme, why can't you just run for election as Chancellor? You are really the only person we can trust."

"Bail, I have done told you I will not run for Chancellor. I mean, I couldn't..."

"May I make a suggestion Senators?"

"Certainly master Jedi."

"First, as much as it hurts me to say this with me being a Jedi Knight, Count Dooku and the Separatists were right."

"How?"

"The Republic needs a change. Palpatine was able to take complete command because he was Supreme Chancellor and there was no one for him to share his emergency powers with. So, why don't we have someone run for Chancellor, and that person pick a running mate. The running mate would become Chief of State, or to better explain myself, vice-chancellor. That would strengthen the system of Checks and Balances and provide a better way to keep the Supreme Chancellor from becoming to powerful."

"I have one question."

"Sure Senator Iblis."

"What if the person running for Chancellor chooses a running mate who is also in on the scheme and they win and get more emergency powers like Palpatine did?"

"I was just coming to that. We also need to put a definite time limit on how long the Supreme Chancellor and the Chief of State can keep the emergency powers. When that deadline comes, they must hand all of the emergency powers back to the Senate. And we need to keep the Grand Army of the Republic in full service. We allow the clones to stay, and we start enlisting regular citizens to serve, and thus we have more soldiers ready to go. And we need to make so the Jedi are the ones to put in additional 'orders' into the genetic codes of clones, and then only when asked to do so by the Senate. The only other thing I can think of is to put a tighter leash on the Intergalactic Banking Clan, Trade Federation, Commerce Guilds, and other galactic companies like them."

"You know, that just might work. Okay, does everyone here agree with the master Jedi's plan?"

Everyone their nodded their heads in agreement, and Kitch smiled as Bail Organa continued.

"Okay, so does anyone have any ideas on who should run a Chancellor, though I wish Padme would run."

"I'll make you a deal Bail. You run for Supreme Chancellor and I'll run for Chief of State."

Kitch laughed as she said this, and it looked like Bail was between laughing and crying. Finally, however, he nodded.

"Deal. Okay, lets call the Senate in and let them know our decision."

The Senators got up and insisted on shaking Kitch's hand before leaving. Once they were gone, Kitch followed them to the Senate. After all, Master Yoda had also put his political knowledge to use and had ordered Kitch to be head prosecutor for the trial against Sidious. The trial, however, had to wait until the new Chancellor had been elected. Then, Kitch stopped.

'I need something to eat. I guess I could go to Dexter's place.'

He pulled out his comlink and contacted Obi-Wan.

"Master Kenobi, it Kitch. I'm going to get something to eat; I've not eaten in two days. Contact me when they vote on a chancellor."

"Make it fast Kitch."

"Yes, Master Kenobi."

Kitch had only been halfway through when his comlink had beeped. He answered it and heard it was Obi-Wan.

"Padme and Bail won the election. We are ready to begin with the trial."

"I'm on my way Master Kenobi."

Kitch put down the credits for the meal, and a little extra for a tip and then run off. It took him five minutes to get to the Senate building in his speeder. Once he arrived to his seat, he found Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Anakin Skywalker covering Palpatine in the seat next to them. In his with him were Qui-Gon Jinn and Barriss Offeé. Kitch looked to the center podium and noticed Bail and Padme sitting there. Finally, Bail began to talk.

"The chair recognizes the chair from the Jedi Order."
Kitch took his cue and deftly piloted his chair down to the center, facing the Chancellor's podium.

"Thank you Supreme Chancellor. In case you didn't know, today I will prove the former Chancellor Palpatine, or better known as Darth Sidious, guilty of murder and treason to the Republic, as well as being a Dark Lord of the Sith."

"The chair now recognizes the defense, as well as the defendant, Darth Sidious."

The chair with Palpatine slowly made it's way to the center. After a couple of words by Sidious, the trial began.

"Palpatine, you are accused of being a Sith Lord..."

"Master Jedi, even if I am a Sith Lord, my personal religion and philosophical views are my own, and I believe under the constitution I am protected against this kind of persecution."

"That may be, but you are also accused of the murder of thousands of Jedi without probable provocation, and of treason to the Galactic Republic."

"How did I betray the Republic when I was leading against Count Dooku and his Separatist movement?"

"You were Supreme Chancellor during the Clone Wars, correct?"

"Yes, as the Senate knows all too..."

"Then maybe the Senate should know that you were also Darth Sidious the whole time, and were in truth the leader of the Separatists, while your apprentice, Darth Tyranus, better known as Count Dooku, was only a puppet. Ladies and gentlemen, I have discovered that Palpatine was only using Dooku to convert Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force, and thus cost the Count his life. The Clone Wars were nothing more than a plot for Sidious to get revenge on the Jedi Order and to destroy it once and for all. The Constitution defines treason as follows: In peacetime, treason is an act committed by a member of the Republic that endangers it's security. In wartime, it is an act that can either hurt the Republic or aid the enemy. You started the Separatist movement, which endangered the Republic's very life, and since you were Chancellor, you were a member of the Galactic Republic. If you need proof of him being a Sith Lord, then take a look at this security camera, taken from the night the Jedi supposedly rebelled."

For the next few minutes, the Senators from across the galaxy watched as Mace Windu, Seeasee Tiin, Kit Fisto, and Agen Kolar declared Palpatine under arrest. They whole chamber gasped with shock when Palpatine ignited a red lightsaber and jumped forward with a scream, cutting down Master Tiin and Master Kolar immediately, and then squared off with Kit Fisto and Mace Windu. Finally, after Anakin caused Mace to fall out of the window, Kitch turned it off and continued.

"Thankfully, Jedi Master Kit Fisto and Jedi Master Mace Windu survived that battle. This capture alone should be enough to convict him of all of these serious charges. Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, you became apprenticed to Darth Sidious and became Darth Vader. Am I correct?"

"You are."

"And you took the infamous 501st division of the Grand Army of the Republic to attack the Jedi Temple, which, if I may add, most of the inhabitants were no older than ten standard years."

Anakin swallowed a lump in his throat.

"I did."

"And who gave the orders to do that?"

"Supreme Chancellor Palpatine."

"Did he say why?"

"He told me the Jedi would move against us, starting by killing all of the Senators."

"And you did what you did because you wanted to save the life of the one person you loved more than anything, right?"

"Yes."

"What else did Palpatine say to you that day?"

"He told me the Jedi Council was afraid of me, that once I became a Jedi Master they would be unable to control me, so they would not make me a Jedi Master. He told me they were afraid of my power."

"And when you and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi faced Dooku on board the Invisible Hand, and Obi-Wan had been knocked out by Dooku, can you please tell the Senate exactly what happened?"

"I felt angry for not being able to help Obi-Wan, so I started to let my anger guide me, much like had done with the Force. Then, the next thing I knew, I had sliced Dooku's wrists off and I had his lightsaber, along with mine, crossed like an X at his throat. I was going to bring him in, but Palpatine told me to kill him, he told me Dooku was too dangerous to be left alive. He persuaded me to kill Count Dooku rather than bring him in alive. I decapitated him."

"And what excuse did he offer about giving into hatred, anger, and revenge?"

"That it was natural. He told me since Dooku had cut off my hand on Geonosis, it was only natural I wanted to get revenge. Then he used..."

"He used what, Master Skywalker?" Kitch asked when Anakin stopped talking.

"He used the incident about when I killed a herd of Tusken Raiders on Tatooine out of hatred, anger, and vengeance because they had killed my mother."

"Thank you Master Skywalker." Kitch then turned to the Senate and continued.

"You see, Palpatine is evil, and he's conniving. He knew what Anakin's weakness was and exploited it to his advantage. I hereby make a motion that after the trial, the Supreme Chancellor issue a full pardon to Anakin Skywalker over becoming Darth Vader and the crimes committed during this time. As final proof about these charges, I will tell you how Palpatine did what he did. Roughly fifteen years ago, the Trade Federation attacked and invade the planet of Naboo. When Queen Padme Amidala came to the Senate, she made a motion to elect a new Supreme Chancellor. Viceroy Nute Gunray was given help by Darth Sidious. Palpatine used the invasion to cause himself to get elected Supreme Chancellor. However, his apprentice, Darth Maul, was killed by Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo. Palpatine took on a new apprentice, Count Dooku, and in a complex plan, caused Jedi Master Sifo Dyas to order a Clone Army for the Galactic Republic. Palpatine then had Dooku start the Separatist movement so that by the time his term was over, the Senate would beg him to stay. He could then use the emergency powers he knew he would get to get more emergency powers, and more, and more, so that by the time the war was over, he would be able to rule the entire galaxy himself, and the Senate could not stop him. He then used this power to destroy the Jedi, though my Lord, you failed in that task." Kitch finished, looking directly at Palpatine.

Palpatine gave his defense, though it was weak compared to Kitch's argument. Then, finally, Chancellor Organa called for a vote. It was pretty much one sided.

"Darth Sidious, you are found guilty on all charges by the Galactic Senate and hereby will be executed; swiftly too. Anakin Skywalker, you are issued a full pardon by this department. The Senate is adjourned."

Kitch had just landed his platform when his comlink beeped. He looked down to see it was the emergency channel. He activated it.

"Yes?"

"Kitch, it's Jessica. You need to get back, and now. Scout's in labor."

"I'm on my way."

Kitch took off at a dead run, reaching his speeder faster than thought possible. He turned it on and took off. In less than five minutes, he was back at the Jedi Temple, and running at full speed to the infirmary. As he run, he noticed how the halls of the great building were filling back up. They were already up to Clone Wars numbers, though now there were more Knights and Masters than children. But older Jedi were sent out on scouting missions to find Force-sensitive children and bring them back.

Kitch could hear Scout screaming before he came anywhere near the infirmary. When he arrived, she was in tears and pushing as hard as she could. He walked over and grabbed her hand, comforting her through the Force.

"Come on, you can do it."

She screamed and then looked at Kitch.

"I don't know why I let you do this to me, but when it's over, I'll kill you Kitch!"

"Just hang in there for a little while longer."

After what seemed like forever, it was over. Kitch smiled as the Medical droid handed Scout the baby boy.

"What are we going to name it?"

"How about Jesse?"

The end! Finally, I am finished. So, what did you think? I may write a sequel to it, but I don't know. Depends on how many reviews I get. hint
