Anakin led Padmé to the Jedi Academy after school. He didn't feel like dealing with the air traffic, so he decided to walk. It was a decently warm day on Naboo, yet he had still changed into the traditional Jedi Robes. The multiple layers made it quite hot, and he was sweating a little. But he just wiped it away and continued to the Academy.
The Jedi Academy on Naboo was structured similar to the Temple on Coruscant, but on a smaller scale, and the spires were much shorter. But Padmé still looked at the building in awe. Anakin grinned at the look on her face. He walked in, and after a bit more of just staring at the beautiful building, she followed him in.
He walked through the halls, explaining some of the different places of the Jedi Temple as he walked through it. He also explained to her the different ranks of the Jedi, which she made a mental note to remember for Jedi History class. He then turned a corner, and walked into a rather large, but plain, room. He explained to her that it was the training room, which was why it was so empty. There were already three people in there, a Rodian, a Human, and a Twi'Lek
. "Padmé, I'd like you to meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, Neeato, and Niko'loss," he introduced. "They are my training partners. Obi-Wan goes to UN also."
At that moment, the door opened with a hiss. A tall, bald, dark-skinned man walked in. His face was very serious, and he was dressed in Jedi Master Robes. He had his lightsaber hilt in his right hand.
"This is Padmé, Master Windu. Padmé, this is Jedi Master Mace Windu. He helps us with our lightsaber training," Anakin introduced and explained.
Mace simply nodded, before igniting his lightsaber. It was a deep violet color. He twirled it around a bit, and then raised it in front of his face. Then he twirled it out, holding it to his side. It was the Makashi solute. Mace didn't use Makashi, but he liked the solute, so he used it in the beginning of his Vaapad style.
The other four Jedi bowed, and ignited their own lightsabers, Obi-Wan's, Anakin's, and Neeato's all being sapphire, while Niko'loss's was emerald.
Mace immediately went into action, blazing furiously quickly. Padmé was amazed. The four Jedi blocked quickly, also going quickly. Padmé knew that Mace must be extremely strong to be able to force four opponents all to block as much as possible all at once. He continued going, and eventually Force Pushed Neeato and Niko'loss back lightly, showing that he would've stabbed them if it would've have been a real battle, and they were his enemies.
Anakin and Obi-Wan both sped up their styles, Obi-Wan blocking like mad, using a near-invincible form of Soresu, while Anakin attacked and defended nearly at the same time with his own modified form of Ataru. Mace was still striking everywhere, so rapidly that it was hard to tell when he was defending and when he was attacking.
Finally, Obi-Wan was pushed away in the same fashion as Neeato and Niko'loss. Now, it was only Mace and Anakin. Anakin was pushed immediately to only blocking. His sapphire saber was moving so quickly in defense that all that was seen of the duel was blue and purple blurs left by the lightsabers. Eventually, Anakin was also pushed away. He deactivated his lightsaber, breathing hard. Mace did the same, and grinned.
"You all did very well. Especially you, Anakin. You seem to have worked and brushed up on your Ataru," he complimented.
Anakin had been in the Academy at least a year longer than the other three, so they never felt bad when the masters gave him more compliments than the rest of them. They had all clipped the hilts to their belts, and Anakin had helped Padmé up and they were about to leave when the door hissed open and Mace was immediately pushed back by a strong Force Push.
The other four ignited their lightsabers immediately. It was a Sith that had entered the room. He was Iridonian, and had dark robes on. He ignited a double-bladed black lightsaber. He reminded Anakin of Darth Maul, a young Sith he, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan had fought around a year earlier on a mission to Naboo.
The Sith they were facing now was just as acrobatic as Maul had been, and immediately took down Obi-Wan and Neeato by jumping and kicking both during an aerial. He then went for Anakin and Niko'loss. Anakin went in quickly, while Niko'loss hesitated, and got his left leg cut off immediately because of it.
But Anakin was not alone against the Sith for long, as Mace came in quickly, igniting his lightsaber and going into action alongside Anakin. The Sith was amazingly skilled, though. Anakin was furiously attacking with all his might, as Mace dangerously went into a fury with Vaapad. This was dangerous because it might catch Anakin in it, and it was basically dancing with the Dark Side. But Mace kept his focus, making sure not to give into the Dark Side emotions fully, and keeping a safe distance away from Anakin.
During the duel, Anakin saw an opening, and cut the blade in half, as Qui-Gon had done against Maul, disabling one side and keeping the Sith to only a single blade. Then Mace went in for the final blow. But the Sith noticed this and leapt in the air, landing behind Padmé, grabbing her and holding the lightsaber in front of her neck, only inches away from beheading her.
"Attack and she dies," the Sith hissed.
Anakin could feel anger bubbling up inside him. He tried to hold it back, but was not able to for very long. He heard Mace whispering something to him, but he wasn't paying attention enough to know what he was saying. In a rage, Anakin leapt at the Sith with lightning speed. He pushed Padmé away from his grip with the Force, and attacked instantly. His strikes were blindingly quick and amazingly precise, his anger aiding him in the battle. He then cut the Sith in half before Mace even had time to join Anakin in battle.
Anakin looked down at the Sith, breathing hard and deactivating his lightsaber. Mace came up behind him. Anakin closed his eyes, ready for a lecture on how he was wrong to attack so suddenly, or how he shouldn't have killed the Sith. But he was surprised at what he really got.
"This man was dangerous. And it was the third Sith attack this week. This is dangerous. The Sith have abandoned their Rule of Two, and now are attacking us relentlessly. I must talk to the Council about this. Anakin, help the others and dispose of the body," Mace said, picking up Niko'loss and leaving the room.
Obi-Wan and Neeato were getting up. Obi-Wan's nose was bleeding, and Neeato was massaging his chest, where the Sith had kicked him. Anakin nodded to them and then went over to Padmé, helping her up.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she replied.
Anakin picked up the Sith, and threw him over his shoulder. It turned out that Anakin hadn't cut deep enough to fully sever him in half, but still enough to kill him. He then followed the other two to the hospital wing alongside Padmé.
