I don't own Star Wars or any of the characters.

Anakin stormed down the halls of the Jedi Temple. The Jedi Master was in a fury, pacing back and forth, back and forth. It had been three days since the attack on Republic Day. Three days since Luke had been captured.

Anakin didn't know what to do. With each passing day he felt the dark side gaining more control and it was becoming harder for Anakin to remain in the light. Ever since the Force had brought them to this world, Luke had been Anakin's anchor. But with Luke in danger, Anakin didn't know how much longer he could keep from blowing his cover.

That's when Anakin got an idea. Turning on his heel, Anakin ran to the balcony he and Luke had talked on their first day in the new timeline. Once Anakin was on the balcony, he began to call out to someone he knew could help.

"Qui-Gon, I need your help. Please, Qui-Gon, answer me." shouted Anakin.

In a moment Qui-Gon appeared. Anakin turned to face the Force ghost, trying his best to stay in control of his temper.

"You called for me Anakin." said Qui-Gon.

"The Sith attacked the Republic Day parade three days ago. When the Sith attacked they took dozens of Jedi Initiates and Padawans prisoner. My own son and Padawan were among those captured. The Jedi have looked everywhere on Coruscant for the Sith, but we've found no trace of them. The Council is meeting later to decide what to do next, but I can't wait much longer." desperately exclaimed Anakin.

Qui-Gon sensed Anakin's distress. The Force ghost sent waves of calm towards the distressed man hoping to calm him. Anakin embraced the calming waves Qui-Gon sent to him through the Force.

"The enemies you face are not normal Sith, Anakin. Like you they come from another timeline, one that no longer exists. The blackout you experienced was the Force trying to correct the imbalance. I don't know how the Sith managed to keep the Force from correcting the imbalance, but I will do all I can to help you, Anakin. I promise." explained Qui-Gon.

Anakin got a call on his comm. link. It was Obi-Wan. The Council meeting was starting soon. Anakin thanked Qui-Gon and hurried to the Council chamber.

The Council had undergone a few changes since the Clone Wars. Many of the original members of the Council who had been on the Council since before or during the Clone Wars still held their seats, but some new members had been added. Yoda was still the Grand Master and leader of the Council and Master Mace Windu was still the Order's second in command. Jedi Masters Plo Koon, KI-Adi-Mundi, Saesee Tiin, Shaak Ti, Stass Allie, Kit Fisto, and of course Obi-Wan and Anakin all still held their seats on the Jedi High Council. For the last decade the final two seats of the Jedi Council had been held by Aayla Secura (wife of Kit Fisto) and Luminara Unduli.

Most of the Council was either still recovering from the attack on the parade. Those who had been off world during the attack were unable to contact the Temple because the Sith had also attacked the Jedi's home at the same time as the parade. So there were only four Council members attending the meeting. The four members attending the meeting were Grand Master Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

Yoda was the same as Anakin remembered him. Yoda was still the same two feet tall, green skinned, long eared, graying and balding Jedi Anakin had known since he was nine years old. The nine hundred year old Jedi's brown eyes seemed too stared right through Anakin. Yoda frowned; his three fingered clawed hand clutching his gimer stick tightly.

Anakin felt nervous under the ancient Jedi's gaze. Pushing aside his concerns, Anakin took his seat. Obi-Wan sat beside his old Padawan, none the wiser of Anakin's inner turmoil.

Mace Windu looked at Anakin, sensing the distress rolling off his fellow Councilor.

Despite being a man of seventy-six standard years, Mace Windu was still as strong and capable as any Jedi half his age. The only signs of the Korun Jedi's age were the subtle wrinkles covering his dark skin and the gray hairs that would have been prominent on his scalp if Mace didn't continuously shave his head.

"Is something wrong Anakin?" asked Windu.

Anakin was a bit shocked that Mace Windu had called him by his first name, but then the other Anakin's memories quickly kicked in. Though he and Mace were not friends, after defeating Palpatine a mutual respect and understanding had grown between the two Jedi.

"I'm just concerned for my son and Padawan. They were among those taken by the Sith." responded Anakin.

Anakin mentally sighed in relief when Windu seemed to accept the reason for his agitation. With that out of the way, the meeting of the four Jedi Masters began.

Yoda, as the Grand Master, was the first to speak. The small green Jedi sighed heavily, his ears drooping slightly as he spoke.

"Disturbing, this is, for so many young ones to be taken. Knew where to strike, the Sith did. Skywalker, faced the Sith in battle, you did. Tell us what you can about it." spoke Yoda.

"I only engaged the Sith in battle for a short time before I blacked out. All I could tell was that she was a female Togruta and strong in the ways of the dark side. She called herself Darth Venger and that she was the apprentice of someone called the Immortal Emperor. The strangest thing was that it felt like I know her but I know I've never seen her before." told Anakin.

Obi-Wan stroked his bearded, his expression one of contemplating deep thought.

"What I'm more curious to know is why you blacked out. I sensed a disturbance in the Force but only you and Luke seemed to be affected by it. That Sith also seemed to be affected but she managed to stay conscious. Why is that?" wondered Obi-Wan.

All eyes turned to Anakin. It was rather suspicious that only Anakin and his son had been affected when no other Jedi had been. Anakin began to feel hot under his skin. This was it. His cover had been blow. He could feel his panic rising and…

Anakin's comm. link went off. Thankful for the distraction, Anakin saw that the call was coming from Ahsoka over the emergency frequency. Acting quickly, Anakin answered his comm.

"Snips, what's going on?" asked Anakin.

"I'm sorry to disturb you in the middle of a Council meeting, but this is an emergency. I found someone sneaking around the Temple. He claim to know where the Sith are holding the Padawans and Initiates. I've tried to get him to talk but he refused to talk to anyone other than you." reported Ahsoka.

"I'll be there is a minute, Snips. Skywalker out." said Anakin.

After receiving permission from the Council to leave, Anakin headed to the Temple's holding cells. Ahsoka led her former master to the cell the man was being kept in. When he entered the room Anakin was completely shocked at who he saw.

"Hello Anakin. Or should I say, Vader." said the man.

Sorry if this chapter seems a little bit boring. I just wanted to introduce the Jedi Council. Tell me if anyone seem out of character. Comment if you like the story.
