Hey guys
I do not own Star Wars
Sometime later at the Jedi Temple
At the grand entrance stairs, Anakin is walking up with the hood of his black robe flipped up, covering his face in darkness. Behind the now fallen Jedi Knight is a battalion of stormtroopers who are following Skywalker.
Upon reaching the entrance of the temple Anakin along with the rest of the stormtroopers walk in as the various people throughout may them no mind as they are unaware of the danger.
"Knight Skywalker what is going on?" Zett Jukassa asked approaching.
In response, Anakin removes his lightsaber hilt with igniting the red blade and despite Zett noticing it, is unable to move fast enough as Anakin quickly slices Zett in half. Silently the rest of the stormtroopers having their blaster rifles raised begin firing at the other Jedi as they spread out in various positions throughout the temple.
Various Jedi draw their blue and green bladed lightsabers and despite managing to attack and kill some of the stormtroopers they are ultimately overwhelmed and shot down by blaster fire.
Anakin notices three Jedi are rushing towards him with their lightsabers drawn. Not even hesitating Anakin lifts them up telekinetically with throwing them across the room where they slam into a stone pillar killing the Jedi Knights on impact.
Walking forward Anakin is suddenly pulled across the massive hallway by the Force where he finds himself facing four Jedi Knights all with their lightsabers drawn. None of them speak any words towards each other or to the Sith, there is no need because they can feel how the dark side is flowing from Anakin.
These four Jedi Knights are no combat veterans and have no fighting experience with another person wielding a lightsaber that is a lethal threat before. However, all four of the Jedi Knights know this dark side user must be stopped since their very lives depend on it.
Rising to his feet Anakin raises up his lightsaber with blocking all four of the attacks, then thrusting forward with the blade to throw them off balance Anakin removes one Jedi Knight of his head.
Using the Force Anakin pushes two of them backwards before quickly blocking another strike and removing the Jedi of his arm. As the man lets out a painful howl Anakin thrusts his blade into the Jedi Knight's chest killing him.
Seeing the finale two Jedi of this little group approaching, Skywalker quickly moves forward and easily blocks their attacks with his own blade before slicing the Jedi Knights across their chests in one seamless move killing them.
Turning Anakin notices in the upper balcony levels a small group of Jedi gets killed out by two stormtroopers with rocket launchers. Also, some of the temple employees who have no weapons and despite begging for mercy are ruthlessly shot down by the stormtroopers.
Feeling his danger sense in the Force go off, Anakin sees two female Jedi Knights leaping down from somewhere and landing in front of him with igniting their lightsabers.
Anakin manages to dodge their blades in enough time, so the lightsabers only strike a stone pillar behind him with taking massive chunks out.
Bringing his lightsaber up Anakin removes one of the Jedi Knights of both her hands then after blocking an attack near his head, from the other Jedi Knight Anakin removes her head with his red blade. As the first Jedi Knight watches in horror as the head rolls away, Skywalker uses that chance to thrust his blade into the woman's chest killing her.
Glancing over Anakin sees a group of Jedi Knights and temple employees who are wielding blaster pistols or rifles are behind a fallen pillar fighting off stormtroopers.
Looking up Anakin reaching out his free hand uses the Force to pull some sections of the roof down. Sending the massive stone pieces straight down onto the Jedi and temple employees Anakin coldly watches as the pieces crush them to death.
Turning Anakin begins to head further into the building as a battle is waged all around with the screams of death, pain and terror fill the once peaceful halls.
Near the same time in a bedroom
Obi-Wan sleeping bolts up out of bed due to feeling the disturbance in the force being amounts of death and pain inside this very temple. Also, what is troubling is the massive shift in the Force he felt earlier like it went to something darker.
Pushing those thoughts aside Kenobi hearing sounds of a battle going on outside knows they are under attack.
Being thankful that he just decided to sleep in his usual Jedi robes after today's earlier events, Obi-Wan grabs both Anakin and his lightsabers from the small bedside table. Attaching Anakin's lightsaber hilt to his belt and knows it will be concealed by his hooded robe, Kenobi keeps the lightsaber belonging to him in his hand.
Pressing down on the button to ignite the blade Obi-Wan hurriedly makes his way to the door which upon opening steps outside.
Glancing to both ends of the hallway Kenobi sees stormtroopers with their blasters firing, then the multiple dead bodies of Jedi laying on the floor, and at his left is Ki-Adi-Mundi wielding his blue lightsaber trying to block the blaster bolts.
Quickly moving into the hallway Obi-Wan begins blocking the soldier's fire from both directions and sending it back to their owners. In minutes all the troopers have fallen to the ground with some being in serious pain or dead.
As Obi-Wan deactivates his lightsaber then glances over to see Ki-Adi-Mundi doing the same, only to drop the cylinder object to the floor in pain with stumbling back.
Rushing forward Obi-Wan notices that the Cerean alien has been hit several times by blaster fire given the obvious small burns on his body. Ki-Adi-Mundi begins to fall to the ground as Obi-Wan catches him with lowering the man to the ground.
"What is going on?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I heard on their communications they are being led by Darth Vader. I've seen this Sith monster cut down multiple Jedi and felt his presence… it's Skywalker" Ki-Adi-Mundi said while struggling for breath.
"That's impossible. Please, that's impossible" Obi-Wan said in denial, not wanting to believe his friend has fallen to the dark side.
"Clear your mind of all emotions, it is true. Cannot stop him, Vader will destroy us all. Use the hidden tunnels and escape because the troopers have got all the other exits blocked off. You cannot help any of Jedi, get out of here" Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
"No, I've got to help. I'm not going to leave the rest of them here to die" Obi-Wan said.
"You have to, you are overwhelmed. You must survive because the Sith will win for now, but we will rise again but will never happen if you die. Please, I beg of you, escape and find the other Jedi scattered throughout the galaxy" Ki-Adi-Mundi said pleadingly.
"I will" Obi-Wan replied.
Ki-Adi-Mundi closes his eyes with taking his last breath as Obi-Wan lowers the man's body to the ground and pushes the grief aside because like a solider Kenobi knows to carry on.
Rising to his feet Obi-Wan looks at the other dead bodies of the Jedi in sorrow before running down towards the opposite end of the hallway with turning a corner into a new hallway.
Looking over to see Padme on the ground and about to be shot by a stormtrooper Obi-Wan reacting on instinct Force shoves the solider some several feet away. Padme reaching over grabs the fallen blaster rifle and aims it at the stormtrooper whose getting up before pulling the trigger.
The blaster bolt hits the man in his chest killing the stormtrooper nearly instantly.
Padme gets to her feet just as Obi-Wan comes rushing over.
"What are you doing here?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I finally left the senate to go home and saw the fires and smoke from the distance. So, I rushed over here to help with just now getting here. Why are the Republic troopers attacking the Jedi? What is going on?" Padme asked.
"I'm not sure. The best I can say is somebody has ordered all of the Jedi to be wiped out" Obi-Wan replied grimly.
"Palpatine would have that kind of power" Padme said.
"And it gets worse, I'm not sure how to tell you this but Anakin is the one leading the Republic's troops. Anakin has fallen to the dark side" Obi-Wan said.
"No… that's impossible he wouldn't" Padme said shaking her head in disbelief.
"I'm sorry but it's true" Obi-Wan said.
"If it is why would he do that?" Padme asked.
"I don't know," Obi-Wan said.
Suddenly a squad of stormtroopers come around the corner then upon seeing Obi-Wan and Padme they open fire with their blaster rifles.
Grabbing Padme's arm, Obi-Wan and her take off in a run while blaster bolts fly by them and hit nearby walls scorching them. Eventually, they reach the end of the hallway with making a turn into another hallway.
Running down it some distance Obi-Wan stops with examining a wall as Padme goes a few feet forward before stopping, with turning around to realize Kenobi is no longer on following.
"What are you doing? They're going to be here any second" Padme demands.
"Looking for our way out so we don't get killed" Obi-Wan said calmly before finding the correct stone and pushing it inward.
Suddenly a part of the wall moves inward to reveal rectangle shaped hole tall enough for some person twenty feet tall could go through. Padme dashes back over with following Obi-Wan as they enter down into the tunnel looking around.
"What is this?" Padme asked.
"Part of the cavern system that runs underneath the Galactic City. I'm guessing centuries ago when the Jedi built this temple they built their own tunnel system to connect with the larger one" Obi-Wan said.
"How did they do that?" Padme asked.
"Through the Force" Obi-Wan said.
"Is that possible?" Padme asked.
"When the Force runs through everything in the universe several things are possible" Obi-Wan said.
As they a short distance down into the tunnel as the cave has light coming from its very walls providing its own lighting system, Obi-Wan and Padme hear movement from the entrance way.
"It's the Jedi. Blast them" one of the stormtroopers said.
The stormtroopers begin firing with going to enter the tunnel when Obi-Wan quickly turns around. With a wave of his left-hand Obi-Wan uses the Force to close the door shut, stopping them and grimaces because he wanted to leave it open, so others can escape.
Turning back around Obi-Wan and Padme begin walking through the tunnel.
"Will that hold them?" Padme asked.
"Only until they find how to open it, so we need to keep moving" Obi-Wan said.
Kenobi and Padme continue down the tunnel with journeying further into the cavern.
walkway leading to the Jedi council room
Stepping onto the walkway Anakin sees in the distance is Qui Gon-Jinn in typical tan robes, with long black hair and beard. Standing near him is Mace Windu and both men have their lightsaber hilts in their hands, and the green blades ignited.
Qui Gon-Jinn rushes forward, as Anakin admits the combat stance is mildly effective and would be a serious problem for somebody that isn't him.
As the Jedi Knight nears him with swinging downward Anakin sidesteps the emerald blade before cutting Qui Gon in half without a second thought. Feeling Mace getting closer Anakin manages to turn in just enough time to bring his red blade up blocking Windu's green one.
"You've fallen to the dark side like I always knew you would" Mace said.
"Because you never trusted or shown me anything other than contempt. That's why I've become a Sith. I've seen the evil of the Jedi and you all must end" Anakin snarls, pushing forward with his lightsaber blade.
"No, you will die you Sith disease" Mace replied growling disgustingly.
Blocking another blow Anakin goes for a strike of his own towards the Jedi master's head only for Mace to stop his blade. For the next several minutes both Anakin and Mace duel each other with blades, but do not really find any openings.
Despite trying his best, Mace begins to struggle under the onslaught of power behind the blows Anakin gives, the anger and hate fulling each of them. Mace knows in all his life he's never faced a Sith, never faced something like this, but regardless of all that, refuses to go down a coward. Besides after all he is a Jedi Master.
Stopping a swing towards his head, Mace locks the Sith's blade in place for the moment with closing his eyes, embracing the Force to flow freely through him to guide his movements. Mace pushes Skywalker's blade backwards then kicks Anakin to the ground causing him to let go of his lightsaber.
Moving his blade downward Mace nearly hits the former Jedi Knight only for Anakin to roll out of the way, leaving Mace's blade to slice off a part of Skywalker's black robe. Anakin sweep kicks Mace's legs out from underneath of him sending the surprised Jedi Master to the ground.
Reaching over Anakin grabbing his lightsaber hilt quickly reignites the blade with bringing it around slicing off Mace's right hand holding his lightsaber. Climbing to his feet as Mace grabs his right arm screaming in pain then is silenced by Anakin placing his crimson read blade directly into Mace's head killing the Jedi Master.
Hearing movement Anakin turns to see Cody along with two other stormtroopers coming up the walkway in a hurry, with eventually nearing Skywalker.
Glancing down at Mace's dead body "What is it with lightsaber users and dismemberments?" Cody asked, to Skywalker not for the first time.
"A hazard of using one. What is our progress commander?" Anakin replied.
"We are making our way through the temple and just now are getting the library secure" Cody replied.
"Good. Collect all the information you can and there are hidden rooms containing supposedly destroyed artifacts thousands of years old. Collect everything before you burn it to the ground" Anakin orders.
"Yes, sir. A squad reported they saw Obi-Wan Kenobi and an unknown female, believed to be Senator Amidala going into a hidden passageway" Cody said.
"Where? Tell your men to stand down I shall take them alone" Anakin replied growling.
Cody tapping the side of his helmet to activate his communications system gives that order.
