No Hope

Chapter 1: The Homecoming

Padme Amidala stood between Bail Oragana and Mon Mothma. A group of senators had gathered for the return of the supeme councellor. Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had fearlessly rescued the councellor and killed Count Dooku. Over the pass few months Anakin had retained the name "the hero with no fear" throughout the republic. The team of Skywalker and Kenobi could do anything and became the heros of the war. From the second the coucellor was captured everyone in the republic knew that Skywalker and Kenobi would save him. Today many watched as the coucellor was returned home.

" Go Master Kenobi should, but wait untill we find Grevious we must." Yoda had quieted down the coucil as he spoke" Skywalker must stay her, I sense we will be needing the chosen one soon." The room was comkpletely quieted as Master Yoda brought up a possibility of soon discovering the sith...
