AN: sorry it's taken me so long to get this up. I didn't know where I wanted to take this, and when I found out I had to write it out. I ended up editing it a few times before I thought it was where I wanted it to go.
Anakin And Obi wan were meditating to try and find peace with the force, when Rex came up to them.
"Generals."
"Yes rex?" Anakin asked.
"We've just picked up some disturbing news."
"We feel it. There is a shifting between the light and the dark sides of the force. The dark side is becoming stronger."
"We just received orders to commence order 66."
"That's bad, isn't it?" Anakin asked.
"According to the researchers here, order 66 is meant to eradicate all the Jedi."
"That's very bad." Obi wan said. "We should hold a meeting with the force users here to decide our next plan of attack."
"Ahsoka is still out for the time being, and I don't think I should leave padmé since she just had heart surgery."
"Well we have to do something." Ventress hissed out.
The Jedi temple on Coruscant.
"I have been patient for to long Ducala." Mace snapped. "Give me something or else I will strike you down and hunt every force user in the galaxy, slaughtering every single one of them."
"Execute order 66." Ducala said.
"What?"
"I told the clones to execute order 66. They will hunt down all the Jedi, and you and your army of Sith apprentices will lead them."
"Where should I start?"
Ducala turned around and lowered his hood, revealing his true face. "You will go to mandalor to start your hunt."
"Jar Jar?" Mace said in shock. "You... are Ducala?"
"Yes Mace. I have hid in the shadows all these years because I realised that Palpatine would make a mistake, I merely capitalised on his fatal mistake and came out into the open."
"LIAR!"
"You wish me to demonstrate my power to you?"
"Yes. Prove to me that you are the true lord of the Sith."
Ducala waved his hand, and Mace became paralyzed from the neck down. "Now do you believe my power?"
"Yes. Please. Forgive me Master."
"That's better." Ducala waved his hand the opposite direction and Mace was no longer paralyzed. "Now. Prepare your armies, and go to work. We have an empire to bring to power."
Mandalor.
The four force users were in Ahsoka and Padmé's room, along with Cody and Rex.
"...I won't kill my brothers." Rex said
"Neither will I." Cody added.
"If order 66 is as bad as you say it is, then you may have no choice." Ahsoka piped up.
"You don't get it. Having us kill a brother would be like telling you to kill general Skywalker or Kenobi."
"Sir!" A trooper called over the comm. "we've got republic and clanker ships entering the system."
"We will take care of the clankers." Rex and Cody said in unison, before donning their helmets and leaving.
"That sounded final." Vos said.
"They don't want to kill any of their brothers." Padmé said. "Could you kill Obi wan, and visa versa?"
Anakin shook his head. "I couldn't kill Obi wan."
"And I don't think I could ever kill Anakin." Obi wan said.
"Then I guess that means that we are fighting the troopers..." Ahsoka stopped and began shivering.
"Wha..." Anakin began before he felt it too. A darkness that enveloped him like nothing he'd ever felt before.
"It's Mace." Obi wan said. "And he's not alone."
Anakin quieted his thoughts and felt... "Ducala!"
"We have to get padmé off planet." Anakin said.
The group ran to padmé's room. Anakin picked her up as gently as he could before carrying her to their ship, he strapped her into the med bay and told R2 to take her as far away from Mandalor as possible.
"Master." Ahsoka said. "You should go with her."
"I agree snips." Anakin said spreading his arms out to give her a hug.
Ahsoka hugged her master.
"I'm sorry snips." Anakin said before knocking her unconscious and strapping her in the passenger seat.
As he was leaving the ship Ventress approached him with a small package and some flimsy.
"Leave her a note telling her why you did what you did, and leave these for your children." She said.
Anakin looked in the box. "Kyber crystals?"
"Yes. If your children are anything like you, they will be Jedi, and they will need a lightsaber."
Anakin gave the box to R2 and said. "Make sure Ahsoka gets these."
The little droid whistled a sad note as if to say goodbye.
"I know buddy. I'm going to miss you too. But I'll come find you later. How's that?"
R2 whistled again, and Anakin wrote a note to Ahsoka before giving it to R2 as well. Then he stepped outside, allowing the R2 to pilot the ship away.
Anakin ran to the others. "I hope I did the right thing."
"You did Anakin." Obi wan said putting a hand on his shoulder. "You did."
On the ship.
Ahsoka woke up to the control panel of the ship. "What no! Master! Why did you do this?"
She heard R2 beep and hold something out to her. It was a note.
Ahsoka,
I'm sorry. I know that you wanted me to go with Padmé, but in order for you to get away safely, I needed to stay behind to buy you some time. I wish I didn't have to stay behind, I wish I could have stayed with you. If I make it out of this one snips, I'll come find you, but in case I don't, you will have to train the twins. I hope that I will be there, I know that we will see each other again, some day.
Sky guy.
Ahsoka read the note again and again trying to make sense of it, hoping that it wasn't true, but it was right there plain as day. Sky guy was going to sacrifice himself to buy them some time to get away. She didn't know if she hated him, or admired him for it. So she curled into a corner and started to cry.
Back on mandalor.
Ships began coming to the planets surface letting out clones and droids who open fired as soon at they had a target. The force users took care of the clone troopers making sure to knock them out so they could try and remove the chips from their brains, and the 501st and 212th took care of the droids.
After the first wave was dealt with a smaller ship landed and Ducala followed by Mace and at least half a dozen younglings came to face them.
"Mace." Obi wan said with a scowl, the man he had once respected to the point of idolizing him was now imbued with and tainted my the power he once swore to destroy.
"Kenobi." Mace said his name with so much hatred and disgust. "As well as skywalker and Vos. I should feel honoured."
"You are a perversion of the light side." Vos said.
"Don't talk down to me in that tone Vos, you're the one who soiled yourself with the Sith reject."
"Don't talk about her like she isn't here." Vos shouted.
"You will respect your betters Vos!" Mace snapped.
"Compared to you he does." Ventress smiled a wicked smile.
"I will make sure to kill you first, so that you can't spawn anymore filth into the galaxy."
"This will solve nothing." Kenobi said. "Mace, stop this nonsense."
"Gladly." Mace said as he drew his lightsaber which now emitted a blood red glow instead of the deep violet that it usually emitted.
"Oh Mace." Obi wan said sadly. "What have you done?"
"I have become the embodiment of the force."
Anakin ignited his lightsaber, a brilliant blue blade, and swung his blade at Mace. "You are a pathetic excuse of a force user!" He yelled pushing all of his emotion into the swing, pushing Mace back.
"The force is strong with you skywalker, join us, and we will make you more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
"I don't think you can. I have a pretty vivid imagination."
"You underestimate the power of the dark side."
"And you underestimate my own power." Anakin said before breaking through Mace's defense and grabbing him by his throat with the force.
Mace began clawing at his throat trying to get air into his lungs.
Anakin felt Mace beg for mercy through the force. 'Do I Let Mace live? He is dangerous. If I let him go will it come back to haunt me?' Anakin was ripped from his thoughts by a lightsaber cutting his legs out from under him.
Mace gasped for breath after he was released from skywalkers force choke. A youngling had cut skywalkers legs out from under him. Before he could reach his lightsaber Mace cut skywalkers arm off. "Not so tough without your limbs eh skywalker?" Mace taunted.
Obi wan.
Obi wan was defending himself against the younglings as best he could without killing them.
Then he felt Anakin's pain in the force, he looked over in time to see Anakin fall as his legs and body separated. "NO!!!!!" He yelled. It was like seeing Qui gon die all over again. His friend, his brother. The gloves were off. Obi wan force pushed the younglings out of the way and charged Mace.
Mace raised his lightsaber to end skywalker. "Any last words skywalker?"
"Go to hell." Anakin said in a pained voice through gritted teeth.
"I guess that I'll meet you there." Mace said not noticing Obi wan running up to them, and force push Mace over the side of the balcony they were standing on.
"I've got you Anakin." Obi wan said picking Anakin up with the force, and carrying him to the med bay.
On the way to the end bay the cloaked figure Anakin called Ducala stepped into his path.
"Move Sith spawn." Obi wan growled.
"Anakin is not going anywhere, and neither are you."
Vos And Ventress moved into Ducala's path blocking his way.
"Get Anakin our of here!" Vos yelled.
Obi wan made his way to the med lab. "Doctor!"
The doctor came in ripping off a pair of gloves.
"What in the nine Sith hell's is going on out there?"
"Your planet is under attack."
"Oh is that what's going on? I hadn't noticed. Not with all of the injuries around here."
"Can you help Anakin?"
"I still have that suit, but he would have to wear the suit, he could take the helmet off, but he'd have to wear it. Does he want that?"
"Just do it."
"It's going to take time."
"I'll buy you all the time you need."
"No need." Ducala's dark voice said.
Obi wan drew his lightsaber ready to defend Anakin to his last breath.
Ducala drew his lightsabers two glowing red blades hungry for blood. Kenobi's blood.
"Who are you?"
"I am Ducala, but you might know me better as..." his voice changed. "... hiya Obi."
"Jar Jar?"
"Yousa know it."
"But... you were at Tython. You were being hurt."
"I can't believe yousa fell for that..." his voice changed again. "...It was all part of my plan to turn Anakin."
"Well you failed." Obi wan said.
"Wrong. It's just taken me a little longer." Ducala said before throwing his lightsabers.
