Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Shaak Ti rushed into the room. Obi-Wan was the one forcing Anakin down, as Shaak Ti held her lightsaber at his chest. Yoda took Anakin's saber and clipped it to his belt.
"Surprised you look, Skywalker." Yoda stated, "Expecting us to be less cautious, were you?"
"No Master, I understand your hesitancy," Anakin replied, "I know what you think of me and I know it doesn't look good."
"Anakin, why did you do it?" Obi-Wan asked, "We trusted you! Why would you attack the temple?"
"The Chancellor ordered me to do it, he poisoned my mind with the dark side. He made me believe that the Jedi were evil. He promised to keep the people I care about safe." Anakin replied, regret in his voice.
"So you led the assault and killed younglings?" Shaak Ti asked angrily.
"No!" Anakin yelled, "Listen to me! I went to the temple and told the few masters that were there, about the coming attack. We escorted younglings and padawans out of the temple. Some of the knights wanted to stay and fight, and I told them I could not prevent their deaths. I left the temple and came back with the group of clones who had been assigned to kill the Jedi. We marched on the temple and fought the knights that were there, I didn't kill a single one of them, but there were too many clones. The Jedi that had stayed were dead."
"So you tricked the clones?" Obi-Wan said, loosening his grip on Anakin.
"Yes. They didn't expect there to be such little resistance, but were satisfied that all of the Jedi were killed." Anakin replied. "I went and altered the recordings to make it seem like a longer battle. I wanted to convince the Chancellor that I had killed younglings without hesitation, so I planted a fake recording in the system. After that, the Chancellor had me going around with a kill squad looking for Jedi on the run. Again, I never killed a single one, but I couldn't stop the clones without looking suspicious."
Yoda nodded at Obi-Wan, who proceeded to release Anakin. Shaak Ti sheathed her lightsaber and helped Anakin back up.
"Where is Ahsoka?" she asked.
"In the guest room over here, follow me." Anakin replied.
They all walked into the room where they found Padme with her blaster, ready to fight anyone who wanted to harm Ahsoka.
"Obi-Wan, you came!" she said happily.
"Of course, Padme. I am glad to see you're alright." He replied.
"Glad I am, to see you ready to fight for young Ahsoka," Yoda said, "the heart of a Jedi, you seem to have."
"Thank you Master Yoda," Padme said with a laugh, "but I'm more of a blaster gal."
"Master Ti was willing to come as soon as she heard it was about Ahsoka." Obi-Wan told Anakin. "She is one of the greatest Jedi healers that the order has ever known."
"Master Kenobi, you give me too much credit." Shaak Ti said jokingly, "You only say that because you are always in need of my healing!" Everyone laughed.
Anakin was glad that the mood was light enough for joking, but he was still worried about Ahsoka.
"Master Ti, do you think you can help Ahsoka?" Anakin said with worry in his voice.
"Anakin, I will do as much for her as I can, but it is ultimately up to her body and willpower to live." Master Ti replied. "I will stay here with Padme and watch over young Ahsoka, you three must leave soon if you wish to follow Master Kenobi's plan."
"You have a plan?" Anakin asked Obi-Wan jokingly.
"Oh be quiet, Anakin. Master Yoda and I have come up with a plan to deal with Chancellor Palpatine. We need you to help us, but we need to trust you."
"Obi-Wan, you can trust me with your life, as you once did before. I want to help you take down Palpatine and I am willing to give up my life to do so." Anakin replied.
"Good, then listen up."
