Chapter 5 Chancellor is the Sith Lord!
Anakin arrived to Coruscant and went to meet Master Yoda. He went to the room of two thousand Chambers and found the Grandmaster sitting there. Yoda was meditating and as Anakin was approaching him, said:
-Greetings young Skywalker. I see that you decided to come to talk to me.
-Yes, Master Yoda. I sense an enormous cloud of Darkness surrounding the Chancellor. I believe that the Sith, who is controlling Senate soon will make his move.
-Sense darkness I do but think I do not that darkness will fall very soon.
-Master Yoda, may I ask for permission to evacuate? I sense something sinister.
-Panic should not be made. In danger we are but not in such. I strongly not recommend creating any panic.
-Understood Master Yoda although I believe you are wrong.
Anakin Skywalker exited the room and left Yoda alone with Temple's nature. While he was passing padawans' dorms, he saw one of his first Jedi friends being with younglings. Barriss Offee was already a Jedi Knight but she decided to be a Master of a Bear Clan for a while.
-Hello Barriss.
-Ani! Congratulations with all your accomplishments.
-Bar, I sense that Jedi soon will be in grave danger. Master Yoda said that there will not be any evacuation but since you are my close friend, I want you to get out of Coruscant.
-I will not leave my responsibility; I need to take care of these younglings.
-Take them with you Bar and go to Naboo. Senator Amidala Skywalker will show where everything is.
Barriss Offee told the children that they were leaving the planet. The group soon left and flew to Naboo. A couple of other Jedi joined them, including Barriss's former Master Luminara Unduli.
Meanwhile Anakin decided to check upon the Chancellor. He did not want one of his friends to be left unaware and went to the Opera House. On the way, he received a comlink call from Ahsoka that she told Master Plo about what could happen.
-Hello, Chancellor Palpatine-said Anakin as he sat near Chancellor
-Young Skywalker, what brings you here now?
-I wanted to tell you that I sense that a Dark Side is growing stronger and that you should watch out for a sith in the Senate.
-Thanks my friend. Anakin, you are not an ordinary man, you have a special destiny.
-Yes, I am aware of that, your Excellency.
-Anakin, have you ever wondered if Jedi trust you?
-Chancellor, they are like my family, especially Obi Wan and Ahsoka.
-But others, like Mace Windu and Yoda, do they trust you?
-They are not. I know that but everything will change after I fulfill my destiny.
-Anakin, my boy, open your eyes. You created a new Jedi Order, took ten percent of Old Order with you and disobeyed the Jedi Code. They will never trust you completely. And they are also afraid of your power. You are now a rival to them.
-I don't think they would see me as an enemy.
-Are you aware Anakin that they are planning to take over Republic? They want to take me into custody because I might have a connection with the Sith and they will take over Republic.
-I don't believe this.
-After that they will get rid of the competition and destroy Padme to bring you back to them to help destroy the sith.
The two men came to Chancellor's office. They continued their conversation. Suddenly Anakin got a vision of his wife dying while Ahsoka being killed by a cloaked figure with a red lightsaber. Anakin screamed.
-Anakin, everything all right?
-I just saw a vision, like before my mother's death. I saw Padme and Ahsoka dead and a cloaked figure with a red lightsaber.
-That means that it will probably happen.
Anakin cried. He could not afford to lose them two.
-Is there any way to prevent that?
-There is but you cannot learn that way from a Jedi. Sith, however, know what to do and can save lives, although that knowledge was lost. My mentor taught me all aspect of the Force, even the nature of the Dark Side. Join me Anakin, and I will help you save your family.
Anakin activated his saber. Now, he was angry.
-You are a Sith!
-Yes, I am. Kill me, and all knowledge of how to save Padme and Ahsoka will be lost.
-I have a better idea; I will report you to the Council.
-A wise decision Anakin
Anakin left the room and went to see Master Yoda or Master Windu. He found the latter in the Council Chambers with a group of Jedi Masters.
-Master, I have terrible news, the Chancellor is the Sith Lord we were searching for.
-Are you sure?
-Yes. I have a question Master, is it true that Sith can bring people from the dead and save lives.
-No, this is a lie. Jedi save lives but no one can cheat death, not even the sith. Anakin, you are going with me and other Masters to destroy that threat.
The four Jedi left. Sidious was in his room prepared for the upcoming battle. He put a comlink next to him. As soon as battle would be over, he would tell the clones to execute Order 66.
