Chapter ten: Dark Sky
"What do you mean?" Padme asked. Anakin took a deep breath.
"The chancellor is the very Sith lord we have been trying to find. Obi-wan called me, the clone troopers are working with him and several Jedi have already been slaughtered." Anakin told her. Padme gasped.
"What are we going to do?" She asked worriedly.
"I want you to wait here" Anakin said. "Do not come out until someone comes to get you" He said. Padme nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I love you Ani" She said, flinging her arms around him. Padme watched him leave and heard him seal the door shut. When Ani stepped into the Jedi Council chamber, He noticed a bunch of younglings cowering behind the chairs, unsure of what to do. He didn't know how he could protect them if the clone troopers invaded. They heard footsteps and Anakin turned to see Ray enter the chamber.
"Master Ray, What should we do?" A small boy asked. Ray responded by drawing his lightsaber and slashing the child across the middle. Anakin watched in horror as the little boy fell down, lifeless.
"What are you doing?" Anakin asked, pulling out his blaster. The younglings turned on their lightsabers prepared to fight.
"I am fulfilling my destiny" Ray sneered. Anakin noticed that his eyes were red. He was no match for Ray, especially since he only had a blaster. Ray stabbed him in the gut with the lightsaber and he slumped to the ground.
"I have failed" He whispered as the life left his body.
The Jedi Temple was on fire. Large plumes of smoke billowed toward the sky as Bail Organa landed his Speeder on a Jedi Temple platform. four clone troopers stood guard at the entrance to the Temple. They lowered their guns as Bail got out of his Speeder and walked toward them.
"What's going on here?!?" Bail demanded to know. He knew that Senator Padme now lived at the temple.
"There's been a rebellion. Don't worry, sir, the situation is under control." One of the clones told him. They barred him from entering the temple. "I'm sorry, sir. No one is allowed entry." Bail reluctantly headed hack toward his Speeder. Suddenly, several shots rang out. Bail turned and saw a five-year-old Jedi, fighting the clones. The little boy was no match for them. Bail pulled out his blaster and rushed into the fight, shooting at the the clones. He grabbed the boy by the hand and they dodged blaster fire and ran toward the speeder. They took off high into the sky. The boy was wounded and in tears. Once they were out of range, Bail put the speeder on autopilot and attended to the boy.
"What's your name?" He asked softly.
"Han Solo" The boy replied.
"Can you tell me what happened Han?" Bail asked.
"it was the clone troopers. They attacked me as I tried to enter the temple" Han replied. Bail bandaged the wound in Han's side. He thought about what the young boy had said. What if the other Jedi were ambushed by troopers? He decided to send out a transmission.
"If there are any Jedi out there, respond immediately" He said. After a few moments he received transmission from Obi-wan.
"Senator Organa, I have survived an ambush by the troopers. We need to know who is behind this" Obi-wan said.
"I agree, The Jedi temple is in flames" Bail replied. "I have one survivor with me, The padawan learner Han Solo.
"I have made contact with Yoda, he is also a survivor. Meet us at the temple, we must see if Padme and Anakin are alright" Obi-wan replied. Bail agreed and ended the transmission.
Padme sat on the couch; she could hear blaster fire all around. Finally she couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed her blaster and exited the apartment. When she exited into the Jedi council chambers she gasped.
"Ani!" She cried rushing over to her fallen husband. Tear streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed. She couldn't believe he was dead. She noticed that all the younglings were dead too. She wondered if any Jedi had survived.
"Milady" She looked up to see Obi-wan, Yoda, Bail and Han. She allowed Obi-wan to help her up, but she couldn't seem to stop crying.
"Who did this?" She whispered.
"We must look at the security hologram" Obi-wan said gravely. They went to the Main Control Center. Obi-wan moved to a panel and flipped some switches. He saw a hologram of Ray slaughtering Jedi, including the younglings and Ani. Padme gasped.
"It can't be . . . It can't be . . ." Obi-wan said shaking his head and backing away. Tears clung to Padme's eyes. They all watched in horror. Tears welled up in Obi-wan's eyes as well. "I can't watch any more." He said turning it off.
"Destroy the Sith, we must." Yoda said.
"Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Ray" Obi-wan said softly. Padme placed a hand on his shoulder.
"To fight this Lord Sidious, strong enough, you are not." Yoda replied gravely.
"He is like my brother ... I cannot do it." Obi-wan protested.
"Twisted by the dark side, young Skyler has become. The boy you trained, gone he is . . . Consumed by Dark Sky." Yoda reminded him.
"How could it have come to this?" Obi-wan asked.
"To question, no time there is." Yoda told them.
"The force will be with you, Obi-wan" Padme said softly. "I believe in you" Obi-wan sighed and closed his eyes.
"He is on Mustafar" He said. "I will find him"
"Allow me to go with you" Padme said. "I will try to talk to him first, perhaps he can be swayed"
The others exchanged glances.
"Don't go Milady" Han begged. "What if he kills you?"
"Obi-wan will be with me" Padme said, kissing Han's forehead. Obi-wan reluctantly sighed, He knew that he would not be able to talk her out of it.
Padme, Obi-wan and Threepio got into a small Naboo skiff and took off for Mustafar.
"The emperor, I must face. Young Solo, keep him safe" Yoda instructed Bail. The Senator nodded and they watched as Yoda took off in his speeder.
