Star wars is not mine. Yes, I use some of the direct dialogue from the movie because it did actually fit.

"Yes, Chancellor."

Before he answered My comlink when off. It was Anakin. "Adrianna, my troops and I are being sent ahead to scout the terrain".

"Alright, I will be there in the next few hours, with the rest of my troops and supplies. May the force be with you, I love you."

"I love you, too." Anakin returned and I turned the com off.

What I didn't know is, that was the last time I talked to Anakin as myself. I turned back to the Chancellor, who was smiling.

"Touching. What would happen if someone were to say be seriously hurt or worse... killed? What if someone wanted to disadvantage one of you. For instance, you. Would that not weaken or kill Anakin himself?"

"In death there is peace."

"Yes, there is. But there is also anger, pain, hate for the one who kills the people you love."

"All those things are forbidden. Traits of the dark side."

"Yes, part of the Jedi code. However..." The Chancellor rounded the desk to walk to the side I was standing on. "We wouldn't want Anakin to fall to the dark side, we both know that Anakin can be less then the model Jedi. You as well, both of you being married to each other."

I look at him perplexed,I was starting to feel a little uneasy. The multitude of these questions about weakening one of us. But what he was saying was starting to make sense.

The Chancellor continued. "Have you ever hear the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

" No."

"Not surprising. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."

" He could save people from death?"

With this war that would help so many. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka.

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

"What happened to him?"

" He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power which eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death but not himself."

"Where does one learn this power?"

"Not from the Jedi."

I remember what Anakin and I talked about. Once the wars was over, we would leave the order and settle down. Anakin really is the chosen one. When the dark lord is found the council will certainly need him,having us come back temporally to restore peace to the galaxy. If they are still stuck in their old ways, we'll leave again, go somewhere remote.

"Once the war has ended, the Jedi will return to keepers of the peace. The death on such a large scale will end."

" Be careful of the Jedi, Adrianna. Even the great ones can loose to death but only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Learn to know the Dark Side of the Force and you will be able to save your loved ones from death."

"What did you say?"

" Use my knowledge, I beg you."

It was him! I igniting my lightsaber "You're the Sith Lord! You're the we're searching for. I'm turning you into the Jedi council."

"But you don't want to do that thought, do you? Without me, the council would take take you away from Anakin."

I began to circle him holding my light saber out, I could strike him and end this now.

"Do you want to kill me,Adrianna?

"I would really like to."

"I know you would.I can feel your anger. It gives you focus. It makes you stronger, strike me down! Do it!"

"No!" With that I deactivated my light saber and ran for my speeder. My first thought was to call Anakin, but he was gone. When I pulled up to the temple I raced to find Master Windu.

I found him with talking to Master Klo Poon.

"I have something important to tell you. I believe I have found the Sith Lord."

"The one we've been searching for? Who?"

" Chancellor Palpatine. He knows the dark ways of the force, he wanted me to be his apprentice."

"If this is true, we must confront him at once."

"I'll come with you, Anakin's not here you'll need my help."

"No, if what you say is true, you well have earned the respect and trust of the council. We'll contact Anakin at once. In the mean time take your troops and rendezvous with Anakin's troops. Eliminate the threats, and contact us when you're done." With that Windu walked away.

As I watched them leave. I began to walk to my troops preparing to follow orders. But I began to think about Obi-wan, Ahsoka, and Anakin. I could stop anyone one of them from being hurt, for dying. Anakin and I could live forever. I just need to to understand the basic principles of the Dark Side. They can't kill him, not yet. Anakin wouldn't kill him, he's been like a father to him. What if Anakin if doesn't kill the Chancellor,what will they do to him? I have to go back.

I ran back into the Chancellor's office to see Windu above the Chancellor, with his violet blade pointed at he Chancellors neck.

The Chancellor saw me and croaked out "help me!..."
