"Skywalker has become a great threat" Sidious spoke

"I sensed his power when I visited the temple" Dooku replied

"We need to find out how powerful" Sidious mentioned

"And how do you propose that" Dooku Questioned

"We are going to lure Skywalker out and capture him. He hired pirates to kill Poggle the lesser. We can have Poggle come to Coruscant and bait skywalker. You will be there to subdue him and bring him to me " Sidious said

"Very well my master. It will be done" Dooku replied

"Oh, and one more thing. You shouldn't be surprised to find maul protecting Poggle. I will let you two work out your grievances"

Dooku knows about maul but maul doesn't know about Dooku

Dooku POV

I Still don't like having Maul involved.

Dooku proceeded to contact Poggle and make arrangements.

Poggle POV
"Lord Maul. I have been summoned to a meeting on Coruscant with other high ranking members of our growing separatist movement"

"Are you sure you wish to return to Coruscant after the attempt on your life. You should lie low" Maul rebutted

" I will be fine" Poggle confirmed

Poggle doesn't know it was the Jedi who ordered the attack

A few hours later

Anakin POV

Anakin had just finished meditation class, and he followed the other students to lunch. (He was with the younglings this time)

He began eating but his head began to ache

I sense a disturbance. Poggle is on Coruscant, and so is maul. I have to stop them.

Without hesitating, Anakin got up and rushed out of the cafeteria to the surprise of the other students. Even a master was caught of guard and couldn't keep up. He ran to the temple hangers and boarded a Jedi star-fighter, He followed the disturbance he felt to a large warehouse on the outskirts of the senate sector (area of coruscant with all the important buildings)

He landed nearby, but not to close as to be spotted by anyone.

Dooku POV 1hr earlier

Dooku entered the compound and began looking for Poggle, but before he could he saw a spinning red blade dropping down from above him. He ignited his own crimson red blade and they exchanged a few hits, before Maul took a step back.

"I knew this was a trap. The jedi are even using red lightsabers to fool us" Maul said

"I'm afraid this is no trap, Maul. I am here on orders of Darth Sidious." Dooku replied

"That's not possible. THERE CAN ONLY BE 2. AND I AM HIS APPRENTICE"

"No, WE are." Dooku said with a small smile

"The Jedi who sent the pirates after Poggle will no doubt come to attempt to kill him once he senses his presence. We are here to capture him and bing him to Sidious" Dooku continued

"How do I know you're not here to kill him. You are the master of the Jedi I killed on Naboo are you not?" Maul demanded

"That is true. But I have lost my allegiance to the Jedi. Only the Sith can bring order to the galaxy, so we must put our differences aside in order to capture this jedi" Dooku explained

Maul gave a little growl and deactivated his lightsaber, and Dooku followed suit.

Anakin POV ( 1 hour later (present))

I need to cloak my presence to hide from Maul. Maul shouldn't be to hard to defeat though. I just need to make sure this isn't a trap.

Council POV

"Master Eistabli what is the issue" Master Windu asked

"Skywalker has run out of the cafeteria and I can't find him." Master Eistabli reported

"Lockdown the temple. He must be doing something stupid" Mace ordered

"I think it's too late," Plo said showing his hand which contained a hologram showing the hanger bay missing a starship. "There are no planned uses of Starship EO66 yet it's missing"

"Damit Skywalker." Mace added

SKywalker POV

He slowly climbed up the side of the warehouse (it is a tall skyscraper with a hanger at the top where he sensed Poggle. A he ascended he also began to feel another presence Maul, but there was another. Dooku.

Damn, Dooku's also here. I can tell he's also trying to hide his presence, but I can still faintly feel his presence.

When he reached the top he went to the side of the warehouse and used his lightsaber to cut a small hole in the wall and entered. He slowly crept through the warehouse and past a couple of stationed ships. He followed Poggles presence as it was the clearest.

There he is. But Maul and Dooku aren't here. They must be hiding.

He decided to make a move. He leaped into the air, ignited his lightsaber, and destroyed all the battle droids defending him in a second. He then swung at poggle the lesser, but his blade was intercepted by Dooku's. Maul then leaped from above.

"It would be wise to Surrender child," Dooku said

"Never," Anakin said defiantly

He forced pushed Maul into a wall and tacked Dooku. They exchanged swings for a while, however, despite Anakin's superior force potential he still struggled due to his size. His fighting style depended on him being superior in size and physical strength. He continued to deflect and offer counterstrikes but wasn't getting anywhere. Also, Maul had recovered and prepared to rejoin the battle.

I can't beat them if I continue what I'm doing. I have to embrace the Darkside.

"Rise Lord Vader. Do not hesitate, show no mercy"

Vader now was active. He immediately grasped mauls in a force choke and tossed him towards Dooku knocking them both down. Maul and Dooku got back upon and launched lightning at Vader but was deflected with ease. The two got into a far more heated duel with Anakin using the dark side to predicts and strike. he also used it to toss large objects at the Count with relative ease. Maul rejoined the fight and made lunges but they were effortlessly countered.

Another ship was approaching the compound

The duel continued with Maul being knocked around like a ragdoll and Vader and Dooky duking it out. Anakin now made use of his own force lightning. As Vader, he couldn't use it due to his suit, but he knew how to do it. He launched a barrage of high-powered electricity at the unsuspecting count.

"What!" The count snarked

"It was unwise to lure me here count" Anakin responded and continued his barrage. Maul rushed him from behind but Vader backflipped over his head and sliced cutting Maul's robotic legs off.

"AHHHHH" MAul screeched in pain

"NOW you surrender Dooku" Vader demanded

Dooku continued his swift and elegant strikes, but they struggled against vaders rapid and powerful attacks.

Vader now used his size to his advantage being able to dodge attacks easily.

The Ship got closer

Vader began consistently tossing large mechanical objects at Dooku to disorientate him, and then in all the confusion launched himself at Dooku and cut off his lightsaber hand. He used his other hand to launch lightning in a desperate attempt but it was no use. Vader tossed him into a wall and dropped a large railing on him trapping him.

The ship entered the hanger.

Vader turned to see a large shuttle enter the hanger. The ramp fell and smoke blocked the view. A large blue bolt emerged from the smoke but vader was prepared and blocked it.

A dark cloaked figure emerged from the smoke and cackled.

"Young Skywalker"

"Darth Sidious! Vader replied
