Chapter 3

Wow! Things are moving rather quickly! The Chancellor arrested in Chapter III! But I mixed my plans for Yoda's Reforms and Dark Anakin into one story. So expect Anakin to turn to the Dark Side.

Anakin and Chancellor Palpatine were talking to each other about the Sith in the Chancellor's Office

"My mentor taught me everything, even the nature of the Dark Side!" Palpatine smirked

"You're the Sith Lord!" Anakin exclaimed, pointing his red lightsaber at Palpatine

"You're going to kill me are you?" Sidious asked

"Yes" Anakin smirked

"What bout your loyalty to the 'Balancers'?" Sidious smirked "You can use the power I have to help their cause!"

"I will make my enemy kill another enemy!" Anakin exclaimed, as he left for the Jedi Temple

Anakin was thinking of making his now sworn enemy, Mace Windu, do the dirty work for him. Anakin couldn't look at Mace straight in the eye after he learnt that Mace attempted to kill his uncle once or twice. But to his relief, his uncle was still alive.

"Hello… Anakin" Obi-Wan greeted, saying the name darkly

"Hello Master!" Anakin exclaimed and left

"You are unworthy as an apprentice" Obi-Wan mumbled as Anakin left to see Windu

Anakin saw Mace talk to some Jedi Masters at the Starship Parking Lot. The lot had a few ships now, it's grey, metal walls were gleaming, there were a lot of people walking around. Anakin smirked, he would get two enemies killed now, with Windu destroying the Sith, and then himself killing Mace Windu.

"Anakin, has the Chancellor given up his emergency power?" Mace asked

"No, and he will never do, I just learnt a horrible truth, the Chancellor is the Sith Lord" Anakin confessed

"A Sith Lord?" Mace asked

"Yes!" Anakin exclaimed

"I will take a team of Jedi Masters to end him" Mace deduced

"I will come with you!" Anakin exclaimed

"I sense a lot of confusion and anger from you, you will stay at the Council Chambers until I return!" Mace ordered and left

"No" Anakin mumbled, with a dark undercurrent "Soon, you will be dead"

Obi-Wan was watching the entire talk from behind a pillar, and he could use his force bond to Anakin to sense his thoughts, Obi-Wan kept the Force Bond a secret, even when turning to Windu. He decided to cut the force bond of him and Anakin with the younger Jedi dying.

Anakin speeded to the Chancellor's Office, as he entered, he heard buzzes and screams. Judging from the screams, three Jedi were dead and only one remained. Anakin saw purple and red blurs as he went in more, so Windu survived. Anakin growled in frustration, but this was part of his plan, so he stopped growling. Anakin snapped back into reality when he heard a strong gust and lightning attacks. He went in more to see the Chancellor seemingly defeated.

"I was right Anakin! The Jedi are taking over!" The Chancellor exclaimed

"You old fool!" Mace mumbled "Your reign is over! You, have lost!"

"No, No, No! You will die!" Sidious exclaimed as he used lightning attacks on Mace

Sidious and Mace were both trying to convince Anakin to murder their opponent. Anakin was confused, not because of Sidious's manipulations, because of the old war. Anakin thought for a while until he decided 'I could kill Windu later after the trial'

"You're wrong! He must stand trial!" Anakin exclaimed, attempting to invade Mace's mind

"He has control over the Senate and the Courts! He's too dangerous to be left alive!" Windu exclaimed as the wind started howling loudly

"It's not the Jedi Way!" Anakin exclaimed, waving his hand horizontally "You will let him live!"

"I will let him live" Mace parroted and weakened his stance, Anakin felt proud for a moment, he was able to manipulate one of the finest Jedi in the Order

Mace handcuffed the Chancellor, and they walked a bit when Sidious glared at Anakin. The young Jedi made his eyes yellow and winked at his mentor. Anakin was fully seduced to the Dark Side. He reversed Mace's effect, making him think that it was his decision to arrest the Chancellor, and Anakin convinced him using good words. Anakin speeded to Padmé's Apartment. The walls were white and there was a big window which showed speeders flying and the entire Jedi Temple was in view.

"Ani!" Padmé exclaimed "What happened? I heard the Chancellor was arrested!"

"Arrested, by my enemy!" Anakin exclaimed

"Who is your enemy?" Padmé asked

"The Jedi Order" Anakin breathed

"Why would the Jedi turn on their own?" Padmé asked

"There's a few Jedi I trust, like Obi-Wan and Yoda, but the rest are my enemies" Anakin explained "Do not trust Jedi who don't want the code to change and they follow it than anything else"

"Umm…" Padmé didn't get it

Anakin sensed her thoughts "You will get it in time!"

Anakin quickly left his wife's home and went to the prison, it was full of forcefields and the walls and floors were made of pure grey metal. There were a few lightsaber streaks from the business with Bariss Offee. Anakin went to the counter, the counter was grey and a yellow forcefield was acting as a glass window

"I would like to visit Chancellor Palpatine" Anakin told the Clone, dangerously

"Of course, Give me your lightsabers, General" The Clone ordered, Anakin obliged

"Channel T-72 001#1246" The Clone told and motioned Anakin to follow him

The Clone led to the place where one of the most dangerous prisoners were kept. Anakin heard Bariss screaming at him. Anakin went a bit more and saw the Chancellor.

"Leave us!" Anakin ordered

"Yes Sir!" The Clone Saluted and went off hearing distance, and closed the door behind him

"Ah! Anakin! I was beginning to think you wouldn't save me!" Sidious exclaimed

"I am not saving you, not yet, I will do later at the right time" Anakin reassured

"Fine" The ex-Chancellor told the fallen Jedi

"I pledge myself as your apprentice, Master… Sidious" Anakin read the sign to his left

"Good! Good! Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth… Vader!" Sidious exclaimed and both of the Sith laughed

"I will release you later… my master!" Vader left the room

Sorry for short chapter guys! Also, in the original plans for the story, Anakin did turn to the Dark Side, and then redeemed himself when he saw Yoda and Sidious duel. That won't happen. Since the Dark Anakin universe was mixed with this, Anakin will… never mind… find out for yourself. NEXT CHAPTER: MANIPULATIONS
