	Oh my goodness, this is a brilliant chapter! Seriously, well done. Where to start? What is going on with Padme?? You have me totally hooked--line and sinker. Then the council insisting that Anakin make a choice between them and Padme--all the while Sidious is weaving his poisonous web. Then, then a dark Jedi winding up Grievous. Wowowow! Every scene was written with maximum impact and you're characterisation was spot on. You need to get writing the next chapter ASAP! I'll beg! -----signature----- Purgatory (A/P AU) - http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/28225076/ I Asked An Angel If I Could Fly (SPN) - http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_fan_fiction/b10808/28873939/p1/?0

	Two opposing forces continued to do battle within the young knight. The urge to destroy the Sith before him was overwhelming. To do so in the heat of anger would be touching the darkside. Anakin wasn't sure what to do. It was like being blindsided by numerous assaults. Everyone around him was changing. Everyone was betraying him. Everyone. Yep. This is not the best state of mind to be making a decision in, poor guy. Very astute observation. -----signature----- Reincarnation: (post ROTS V/A/P AU) Vader encounters a cloned Padme. http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=21382105&replies=7 Nominated--Best Collaborative Work FanFic Awards 2007 Fics in profile; ask me to unlock

	“This is a one time offer. Are you with me on this, Grievous?” Grievous paused and answered, “Yes.” I'm sensing Grievous is about to feel the full wrath of a Sith Lord betrayed.

	Helen_Taft: Well, I am glad to have pleased your expectations. Thanks! I hope you like the next installment just as much. More twists and turns to come. ROTSFAN: With all the pressure and the disappointment and the penned up anger, he will eventually…ahhh you almost got me to say it. Darth_Draconus: Welcome Welcome! Thanks for reading! Vaders_Angel: Thank you so much! Thanks for reading. Kelia: I always wondered how would canon Grievous feel if he realized that he was betrayed by Sidious. Thank you. Thirteen – The trouble with Anakin As he stood in the center of the council chambers, surrounded by Jedi masters that all looked on him with disappointment and disapproval, he knew that something was terribly wrong. Mace rested his hand on the armrest of his chair and held a datapad in the other. Anakin could feel the air was thick with condemnation and that it was aimed toward him. It came as a surprise to him when he first entered the room. What bothered him the most was that even his brother, Obi-Wan, would not look at him. Storm colored eyes remained focused on the floor as if searching for some missed detail. He went through the checklist of things he was expected to do and each was carried out. Fulfilled their request to their spy and yet they are against me. Through their link in the force, Anakin asked Obi-Wan, ‘what is going on?’ But there was no answer. Obi-Wan barely acknowledged his inquiry. Anakin looked at the datapad that Mace intermittently shifted his eyes toward. He realized that whatever the problem is, it has to do with that datapad. Still, Anakin had no idea what it could be. Whatever it was, he figured, would pale next to the report he had to make. The silence was deafening until finally Yoda spoke with a melancholy laden voice, "It has been brought to our attention a serious violation you have committed…against the code." Though he was present via hologram, Yoda’s disappointment was felt. Mace raised his head to Anakin and weighed the datapad in his hand, "We have a document from Naboo that records your marriage to Senator Amidala." He paused to gauge Anakin’s reaction, "Do you deny the validity of this implication?" So this is what this is about. How did they find out about this? Questions flittered about his mind as he managed to hide his surprise. He considered denying it, but in a room full of masters, lying was not an option. Suddenly his report about Palpatine faded into the recesses of his mind. He is more interested in how the council would react now that they know his secret. Much of what chancellor Palpatine said about the council mirrored his own thoughts. Anakin was interested in seeing whether their conclusions were right. He had to know. He knew this moment would put all questions and suspicions aside. Though part of him wanted to remain a Jedi, the other part wanted to remain with Padme. Expulsion was an inevitability that he once thought that he would not be able to avoid for long. Now, he considered the masters knew he was an asset and would overlook this. He had been able to perform as Jedi knight effectively over the past five years. There was no reason why he shouldn’t be allowed to continue. Anakin also believed with every fiber of his being that his marriage could be saved. After his argument with Padme at the ball, he knew where the problem lay and that it was something that could be resolved. Today was the day it would be done. Anakin glanced at a Mace, Yoda and Obi-Wan before swallowing and squaring his shoulders. He looked straight ahead to the Coruscant skyline beyond the boundaries of the transparisteel windows. "I do not Masters…I am married." Yoda’s pointy green ears drooped slightly, "Why taken a wife have you?" Anakin dropped his gaze toward the diminutive master, "Why else Master? I love her. I've loved her since the day I met her." Anakin answered simply. "She is a part of me." "What about your commitment to the Order?" Ki-Adi asked. "Being a Jedi is something I know I was born to be. It feels right. But so does loving Padme. Masters, I am aware that the code forbids it, I am capable of being both husband and Jedi." "Anakin you know as well as most that being a Jedi requires one who possesses the deepest commitment. You cannot have both because one will interfere with the other and could cause you to fail," Shaak-Ti uttered from her seat behind Anakin. "Your love for your wife could create an attachment, and can lead to greed and jealousy." Ki-Adi’s hologram flickered. "To the darkside that would lead you," Yoda added, pointing a finger. “The code is an ancient one, written over a millennia ago. Times have changed since then. Perhaps the council could consider revising the code?” Anakin’s suggestion sparked surprised murmuring and glances of shock. Yoda nodded his head and replied in a deeper voice. “Remind me you do, of Qui Gon. Not closely did he follow the code.” Obi-Wan looked toward Yoda, but remained silent and refused to look in Anakin’s direction. Mace firmly rejected the idea. “The Jedi code has ensured the longevity of the order. It is something that cannot be changed and should not be changed. It is not necessary. No matter who or what the circumstances involve.” "We have decided to offer you an opportunity to amend the situation." Ki-Adi said. Anakin paused and furled his brow, "What do you mean?" "We will grant you a short time to decide where you stand. The code forbids a Jedi to be married. You must decide, young Skywalker,” Mace said leaning back in his seat. “…or the council will decide for you." Anakin’s jaw tightened. It was not something he expected to happen. "How can you do this? You are asking me to make an impossible choice!" "It is a position you put yourself in when you broke the code." Ki-Adi said shaking his head, "the only other option you give us is expulsion." “You are being granted leniency instead immediate expulsion. You can remain a Jedi and let go of your wife or leave the Order with honor otherwise, be discharged without it.” “Either way you are forcing me to give up a part of myself!” Anakin yelled. He face flush with anger as glanced around the room. “This is outrageous! You put me on the council and not make me a master! You use me as a spy against the chancellor—which is an act considered treasonous. And you all are persecuting me because he and I were friends?! You ask me to either renounce my marriage or give up my life as a Jedi. I have been married to this woman for the past five years and it has not affected me. If anything she has made me stronger!! I wouldn't expect you to understand. None of you have been in love. All of you are afraid of emotion. How can you expect others to exist like this?!” “Calm down, Anakin,” Obi-Wan finally spoke. He finally locked eyes with Anakin. Anakin immediately saw the hurt that was buried in the shades of gray. “No one is out to get you. This is a truth that emerged on its own.” “Really?" Anakin placed his hands at his waist. "How did it come to the council’s attention?” he looked pointedly at the datapad still resting in Mace’s hand. “That much is not clear.” Obi-Wan shook his head. “Besides, its irrelevant.” Anakin growled, “I love her. How can I let that go?" "You will have to decide yourself. Consider that as you meditate on your answer," Ki-Adi said. With a causal lift of his brow, Mace handed down a judgment. "As of right now and until a decision is made, you are suspended from duty." Anakin bowed at the neck and shot a glance toward Obi-Wan before turning his back and leaving. He was too angry to make his report, too angry to tell them that a threat had control of them. It all paled against a clearer vision of the council came into view. He stormed through the main corridor, ignoring greetings from fellow knights and padawans, muttering to himself about a corrupted council. ~~~ Avaryce couldn’t help the smile that formed, as his ship lifted off into the atmosphere. His ally was secured and an army would ensure his position to defeat either Anakin. However there was another detail that required his attention. If everything went as Sidious has planned, Skywalker would have nothing to distract him from fulfilling his destiny as apprentice to a Sith Master. It would spell the death of the Jedi and more importantly the death of Padme Amidala. The time to expose and strike the rebel leaders was soon at hand. However, her death would ruin everything that Avaryce’s plans hinged on. He had to secure Padme’s safety at least until after she gave birth. He lowered his gaze toward the holocom on his console and activated it. He knew she would be attempting to leave Coruscant before the republic fell. Her bluish white image appeared on his console. "Off so soon?" He greeted her with a smirk. “Palo and I are preparing to leave now,“ She sighed, "My work is done. I have carried out my mission to the last detail." "All except one." "What might that be?" "Lord Sidious has begun the last stage of the plan. Soon the Jedi will be wiped from the face of the galaxy and in no time, they will be a forgotten sect. Eventually the vestiges of the old republic will be washed away and the empire will have full control. Skywalker, as you've told me, is about to fall." "He is. Obi wan will be the catalyst. I saw to it. He will tell Anakin what I have not. Anakin's fall is inevitable now," she uttered casually as she checked her nails. "Good.” He nodded. “You've done well and you served the dark lord as he has expected. Unfortunately, things do not always go as planned." "What are you talking about, Avaryce?" She looked annoyed. "My master demands your life." Her eyes widened. "My life?” She looked over her shoulder, as if checking to see if someone was nearby. She shook her head. “No, he promised me. We had a deal." Tsk, tsk, tsk. He shook his head disapprovingly, “Dear flower, you know better than to trust a Sith." She was panicking. The pace of her breathing increased. "By the time you arrive here, I will be long gone." "What makes you think I cannot touch you from my location?" Avaryce enjoyed seeing her scared out of her mind. Her chest heaved up and down as she began to grow more and more nervous. He watched her look around once again. "Lord Sidious is not the only one with spies in his service. I can kill you from anywhere. There are resources to see to it that you are -- taken care of. Would you like to see a demonstration." "Be merciful, Avaryce. Please." Her eyes darted around nervously before answering in a voice that shook with fear. "I must do as the master commands," he offered innocently. "I beg you, Avaryce. Please!" Her hands were clasped. "I will spare your lives if you do but one last deed for me. Then I will leave you in peace.” “What is it?” She said submissively. “Go back the apartment now and await further instruction.” “Go back to the apartment? Of all places? ” She looked at him in confusion. “Why?" "Don't worry about the small details,” He said calmly and reassuringly. “Once there contact me and I will tell you exactly what to do." "Why are you disobeying him?” Avaryce did not bite back the irritation in his voice. “You have a nasty habit of concerning yourself with the immaterial. For you, my motives are immaterial.” “I know you, Avaryce. How do I know there isn’t a bomb planted in the apartment?” “How do you know there isn’t one planted on your ship? If I was going to kill you, you’d already be dead. If you wish to stay my hand, you will not provoke me. Sidious wants you dead and your insignificant little life makes little difference to me. Think of your precious unborn and your husband to be. You wouldn't want them to meet a horrific end." "You—you wouldn't dare." Her hand instinctively rested on her stomach. "No? How much are their lives worth to you?" He raised an eyebrow, waiting her for her rebuttal, but there was none. There was only the sign of her resigning to do his will. She dropped her gaze and nodded. "I am glad you can see reason. It would be unfortunate if i had to prove my point. Be at the apartment in a few hours." "What if she-" She raised her eyes again in alarm. Avaryce lied. "There will no unexpected guests. All you have to do is wait for further instruction. It will be over quickly. It shouldn't take more the two or three standard hours. And then you and your beloved artist are free to live out your lives as you wish." She nodded her head quickly and dropped her gaze. Her words were barely audible. "I'll do it, Avaryce." "Good." Avaryce ended the transmission and smiled to himself, confident that his plan for the future were unaffected by Sidious's grasp for power. He chuckled as he thought to himself, I must secure Amidala's safety now that someone else will die in her place. Palo would just have to be collateral damage. ~~ “Anakin, wait—wait!!” Anakin stormed into the darkened temple hangar, hoping to escape any explanations or any comfort. Anakin wanted to be alone and way from the other Jedi, especially the one following him. He huffed in annoyance, looking over his shoulder to see Obi-Wan quickly walking toward him. “What do you want, Obi wan?” Obi-Wan kept Anakin’s pace was he walked beside him. “I want to help you.” Anakin stopped and looked at him with an ice-cold glare. “After the silent treatment you gave me back there? You wouldn’t even look at me! No, you have helped enough.” Obi-Wan blinked and said in an apologetic tone. “I was upset and very disappointed in you.” “It doesn’t matter any more. I have no intention of divorcing my wife.” He continued walking. “They are going to expel you, Anakin!” Obi-Wan called out and began walking again to catch up. “The council is giving you a choice!” Anakin stopped again and turned around. “Then my choice is made. What makes you think they will expel me? I am the chosen one. I am more powerful than any seated on the council and they all know it. They don’t want to share my loyalty with anyone else. They want to keep me as their tool. It’s an empty threat to keep me in line.” Obi-Wan blinked. “Anakin, you are not being rational.” “No?” He raised his brow. “Tell me Obi wan, why didn’t you tell me they knew about my marriage?” Obi-Wan folded his arms. “I have a better question, Anakin. Why did you tell me you had gotten married?” The hurt was audible in his voice. “It was between me and Padme.” “I am your friend. I didn't want any of this to happen to you.” Anakin raised a gloved finger. “No! You were my friend.” “Anakin you can’t serious believe—“ “I should have never listened to you. I knew they were targeting me because of my friendship with the chancellor. I knew they were jealous of my power.” Obi-Wan paused before answering and said, “There is a great deal of confusion clouding your judgment. You are in a dangerous place. You are letting your emotions get the better of you. Anakin—you are not yourself.” “Yes, I am and I have never been more lucid than I am right now. The council is forcing me to choose between my wife and my duty. What kind of a choice is that?” “A choice that should be made practically. I know you have been under a lot of stress. But you must realize that you are throwing away your future as a Jedi Knight for a marriage that obviously cannot be saved!” Obi-Wan looked away, realizing that he was now at a point of no return. Anakin’s eyes narrowed and took a couple steps closer, “What did you say?” Obi-Wan sighed heavily and said slowly, “Padme told me about her feelings for Palo. I worried about how you’d take it but—“ “Wait—you knew?!” Anakin yelled. “And you didn’t say anything?! Do have any idea what I have been going through? I confronted her about it and she admitted this to me days ago. You’ve known for quite some time, haven’t you?” Obi-Wan’s lips parted but nothing came out. Inwardly, he cursed himself for not waiting for Anakin to come to him about it. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Anakin gestured toward himself. “She told me that she wanted to be the one to tell you. With the way you’ve been the past few weeks, I thought you already knew. I wanted to talk to you about it but I couldn’t. It was a secret that you didn’t trust me with. It wasn’t my place to talk to you about it. When she first told me about it, I advised her that if she waited long, I’d have to tell you.” “You advised her? You should have been advising me! She never said a word. I had to find out for myself." Obi-Wan dropped his gaze and rubbed his beard. He suddenly remembered the bruise on Padme’s wrist. "Is that why her wrist is bruised?" He looked up at him and took a step closer. "Anakin, it hurts me to see you suffer like this." He reached out touch him on the shoulder. Anakin stepped out of his reach and yelled, "You were supposed to be my best friend!” He turned his back to him and pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers. It seemed that it was one betrayal after another. No one respected him enough to be honest with him and it hurt deeply. “I am and I'm truly sorry for all this, Anakin. You both are my best friends. I would have acted differently had I known the two of you were married. Somehow I was caught in the middle.” Obi-Wan tried to explain. Anakin said softly, “It wasn't long ago that you worried about me being caught between the chancellor and the council." Obi-Wan slowly closed his eyes, as he remembered the irony of it all. Anakin turned around with eyes that fiercely burned with pain, "I sense there is more you haven’t told me. What else do you know?” Obi-Wan’s mouth opened and eyes widened. “Don’t ask me that Anakin, please. Talk to Padme. She will tell you what you want to know—“ “I am done talking to her!! She betrayed me!! And she’s a liar!!” Anakin knew there was more. He could feel it in the heavily damaged bond between them. With a darker voice he asked, “What else do you know?” His lips drew in to a thin line. Again, no answer. “Tell me!!” Anakin’s nostrils flared. Realizing that Anakin did not know the true paternity of Padme’s child, Obi-Wan sighed again and turned. He took several steps away. There was no way out of this and Anakin would never let up. Anakin was about to be devastated. He turned and said, “She says that …” He paused, swallowing thickly, “….she carries Palo’s child.” The last couple of words had to be forced out. Anakin’s face fell. “What?” The firmness had left his voice and suddenly the strength was knocked out of him. It was like being doused with ice-cold water. “The child she carries is his…not-not yours.” Obi-Wan’s voice shook slightly seeing the pained look on Anakin’s face. Anakin's heart felt it was in a chokehold. His breathing increased. It was as if the wind was knocked out of him. “That-that’s not true.” He shook his head quickly. “I’m sorry, Anakin. It’s what she told me.” Obi-Wan moved closer. “It's not true. Sh-she wouldn't. Padme couldn't...do that to me.” His heart struggled to continue beating despite the trauma. He turned his shoulder to him. It was too painful to accept. Padme has hurt him with Palo, but she would never go this far. Even though he struggled against them, the tears started to blur his vision. No, she won’t do that to me!! This has to be a trick to make me give her up!! “Anakin, you must believe I didn’t want any of this to happen to you. I am on your side.” Seeing the hurt in Anakin's face, his eyes soon began blinded by unshed tears. “It’s a lie. I don’t believe you. The council made that up. They don’t want me to leave the Order. They want to control me. She wouldn’t do that.” Anakin seemed to stumble on his feet as he turned to walk away. It was as if the strength had left him. Obi-Wan quickly walked around to face him. He held his hands up and tried to keep eye contact with him, “Anakin, I know you are in great pain, but you must listen. There is something strange going on with Padme. She hasn’t been acting like herself this past few months. I sensed something in her force signature—" “You are just as bad as the rest of them." Anakin breathlessly dismissed Obi-Wan’s claim with a simple wave of his hand. Anakin stepped around him and walked toward his ship. With one stretched out hand his rubbed his eyes furiously and struggled to clear his head. He was drunk with agony, wanting nothing more than bring it all to an end. His head was throbbing. His heart was aching. His mounting rage that he wanted so much to keep in check was threatening to break free. He opened the dome of the ship and paused to rest his head against it. He closed his eyes and prayed that this wasn’t true. "Anakin, please--don't do this." "I don’t want to see you again, Obi wan.” He said without turning to face him. Obi-Wan slowly shook his head. “You don’t mean that.” “You’ve lied to me—kept secrets from me—helped the council and Padme make a fool of me.” “No, Anakin.” Obi wan stepped closer. “I am going to find out the truth of all this—I want to hear it from her… Stay away from me, Obi wan.” Anakin looked over his shoulder. “I don’t know what will happen the next time we meet.” It was part plea and part warning. Without looking back, Anakin climbed into the cockpit and started the engines. He ignored Obi-Wan’s cries. “Anakin! Anakin, don’t leave like this!” It was useless. Anakin had taken off as quickly as the dome closed on the cockpit. Obi-Wan stood in the temple hangar hold his head in in his hand. He was disappointed with the position he found himself in, hurt by the pain Anakin felt and unsure of whether things would ever be same again.

	Still good, I wish I had the next couple chapters to see what happens. I'm pretty sure that Padme has some psychology issues going on where the real "her" is buried, it just hasn't been explained yet. How I wish this was made clear to Anakin, because the present Padme is a detestable wife/Senator/everything and none of us really know her. Is this going to have a tragic ending?

	III'mmm bbbaacckkk! The summer semester is not the "breeze" I thought it would be. It turned out to be more work than we get during the regular semester. You guys can tell with my long absences. Sorry about that. Thank God I have one more year to go. There are about four or five more chapters to go. I hope you guys will stick with me 'til the end. If not, I'll understand. Kelia: If they weren't so stuck in tradition, they would have probably "overcome" the sith. ROTS: Well part of the question will be answered. There is a major hint toward the end of this chapter. I wonder if you will discover it. Some readers on another site didn't notice. You were the first one to pick up the first hint a couple chapters back. Part of your question will be answered. MoAngel: Yes. of course I'll add you on. Don't worry for Anakin. Those that did him wrong will received their comeuppance. Helen_Taft: See below for pay-off--or at least part of it. Fourteen – The undoing of Anakin and Padre Skywalker Bail Organa walked through his office door muttering to himself, consumed with the information on the datapad in his hands. It had been little more than a week since the ball and though they gathered some support, there still was much work to do. More support was needed if there would be a chance that they would be able to stop Palpatine any time soon. He had spent many late nights, like this one, in his office pouring over strategies and points of interest for the organization to take firm root. He shut the door behind himself and slowly made his way toward his desk, which was situated in the only spot of light in the otherwise dark room. “Greetings, Senator Organa.” A disembodied voice interrupted his concentration. Bail jerked his head up toward the dark places in his office. His eyes shifted nervously about the room in hopes of deciphering the origin of the intruding voice. The shadows didn’t reveal any secrets. He slowly rose to his feet and demanded, “Who’s there?” The smooth voice sounded haughty in its response as it sounded again, “Who I am is not as relevant as why I am here.” “Then, why are you here?” Finally realizing the location of the voice, Bail’s eyes locked on a corner in the office. He strained his eyes enough to barely make out an outline in the dark. His hand slowly moved toward the folds of his robe. The voice gained more firmness and answered, “I bring a warning to those who wish to remove Palpatine’s grasp on the republic.” Bail paused briefly and snorted incredulously, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Do not lie, senator, for I can see right through you…” It sounded annoyed by Bail’s denial. Instinctively, Bail drew his weapon and fired. The blast bolt bounced off an ignited lavender cylinder and slammed into the wall to the right, singeing the decorative wall furnishings. Suddenly the blaster was pulled from his hand and flew toward the entity in the room. The figure slowly emerged from the dark and stood close enough that the light from the desk barely revealed any facial features. It was hooded and cloaked and the hands were concealed in the sleeves of the robe. The lavendar blade retreated into the hilt of the weapon. Bail took a step back, astounded that this bold act was committed by a Jedi. He narrowed his eyes, willing them to recognize the chin and the mouth that were vaguely visible beneath the hood. The unknown Jedi continued, “Beware, the chancellor plans to expose the rebel leaders and their associates and make it known that their actions are treasonous. He will declare them all enemies of the republic.” “When is this supposed to happen?” Bail asked cautiously. “In less than two days time, some or all of you will either be dead, in prison or in hiding. ” The Jedi revealed white fangs with a malicious grin. He inclined his head and said just above a whisper, “I suggest the latter.” “How does he know of this…” He tried to sound as unfamiliar with the topic as possible. “rebellion? ” “The chancellor has eyes and ears of which no one can see. You along with Senators Amidala, Mothma, Taneel, Zar and your associates will become public enemies by the time he is through." Bail realized denying the existence of a rebellion was futile. “ Is that how you come to know about this, Jedi? May I assume that the members of the Jedi council are also aware of this?” “You may assume whatever you will. I know many things the Jedi do not. The reasons for this warning are irrelevant.” Bail narrowed his eyes. “Then who are you? Friend or foe?” “Neither.” He answered lightly. “Rather, someone who has an interest in the survival of a particular rebel leader.” The Jedi turned to leave. “Whose? Mine?” He answered with a chuckle. “Spread the word to your rebel cohorts. Suggest that they leave Coruscant as soon as possible.” He was already halfway across the room, heading for the door. "This could be some sort of trick. Why should I believe you?” Without breaking his stride or looking back, he answered casually, “Can you afford not to?” ~~~ In the war room of the Jedi Temple, Mace Windu looked at the holograms of Yoda and Ki Adi Mundi and listened to the updates they offered for the respective planets they were defending. “The Jedi are stretched thin. We can only hope that we hear from Master Lindo soon.” Mace nodded his head somberly. Deep down he knew that whether it would be over soon or not, the war has had a tremendous impact on the Order. However, despite that overwhelming sense of foreboding, he felt that there would be a glimmer of hope. Before he could respond to Ki-Adi, a hologram of clone commander Neyo appeared. “Master Windu, pardon the interruption. I have a message from Master Lindo. He has destroyed General Grievous. The separatists are now leaderless.” “Thank you, Commander.” Mace dismissed the clone and turned toward the other two masters. “Now there will be no reason for the Chancellor to remain in power.” “We should move to ensure he steps down immediately.” Ki-Adi glanced over to Yoda. “Even if he chooses not to.” Mace paused and said, “The Jedi would have to temporarily take control to ensure a smooth transition of power back to the senate.” “Dangerous this will be." Yoda ran a slow hand through his sparse hair, visibly uncomfortable with what it could mean for them. "Great care we must take." Mace paused as he allowed the force to speak to him. A foreboding seemed to loom over the Order. As inevitable and intolerable as it would seem, the feeling of mal intent seem to originate from the chancellor. “The darkside surrounds the Chancellor,” Mace sighed. “I will take a few other masters and deliver this news to him. With Grievous gone, he will have no choice but to step down immediately.” “Careful you must be, Master Windu. A plot I sense, to destroy the Jedi.” Yoda lightly tapped his gimmer stick. "Action must be made swiftly if survive the order will." “The darkside has treachery well shrouded.” Ki-Adi added in a voice laden with much unease. ~~~ “I really don’t think it was necessary for you to come with me, Palo.” She stepped into the apartment warily looking around. She hid the nervousness in her voice. The Sith could not be trusted to keep their word. Avaryce could end up fulfilling his master's order after all. “I had to. I am tired of being kept in the dark, Padre." He didn't bother masking his irritation. "This has been going on for far too long. I know there are things you haven’t been telling me." She was preoccupied moving about the apartment, looking for a clue of Avaryce’s intentions. "Tell me what is going on!" The harsh tone in Palo's voice compelled her to face him. She could see in his eyes that he was hurting, that he didn't like having to keep their love a secret. She could see that his frustration had built a wall between them. She raised a hand and caressed his cheek. "Please, be patient with me a little longer. Once this small task is done and we are gone from this planet, I will tell you everything." "Padme..." She silenced him with a kiss and pulled away enough to look into his eyes. "I promise it won’t be long, my love…just a couple of hours." She decided to bend the truth a tiny bit. "I am merely waiting for contact from...an aid.” It was a white lie...slightly worse than an omission but better than an outright lie. Palo sighed heavily, “I am just anxious for us to leave all this behind and start our lives together.” He rubbed her bare arms affectionately. "No secrets. No hiding. Nothing like that between us." “We will have that and much more. You'll see. We’ll be gone in no time.” She passionately closed her lips over his. A wounded voice interrupted the lovers. “So this is how you wish it to end between us? Ruin my life and disappear forever?” She turned around abruptly in the direction of the voice. Her mind told her who it was but she didn't want to believe it. Her eyes widened as a shadow slowly approached and stepped into the light. She was agape, her eyebrows raised. “Anakin, w-what are you doing here?” His eyes were devoid of warmth and his face was flushed. “I am standing in my home, watching my wife...," he glared at Palo briefly as he emphasized the words. "...swap spit with her lover and listening to her plans to abandon her marriage and her commitment to the republic she claimed to love.” “Wife? " Palo blurted out in bewilderment. He looked at the woman beside him and asked with shock threatening to morph into anger, "Padre, what is he talking about?” Anakin’s eyebrows disappeared under the locks of blonde hair that lazily hung over his h airline. "You mean, you didn't know?" he asked sarcastically. “She is a politician after all. Her deception should be no surprise…to either of us.” “It’s nothing." She glanced at Palo and quickly shook her head. "It’s just more of his jealous tirades. I’ll explain later,” she said dismissively. “Jealous tirades?” Something flickered in Anakin's eyes. He continued, “This is beyond jealousy. This is about respecting what we had! You promised to love me and be with me no matter what!! Or did those words mean nothing to you?” “It meant something a very long time ago….but not anymore.” She didn't bother to hide the frigidity in her tone. She told herself that she had to cruel. She had to be heartless. She had to disgust him enough that he would leave her sight and never seek her out again. She didn't want him there when Avaryce gave her the final task. If Anakin were to discover her true mission, it would destroy everything she worked hard for and possibly incur Sidious’s wrath. “You are still my wife!” The walls in his mind that safeguarded his rage and the darkness that desperately wanted out started to crack and crumble. It seemed that the coldness that threatened to overtake Anakin was surprisingly closer than ever. It was so close, he could feel the goose bumps rising against his skin. “That can’t be true.” Confused, Palo shook his head. “You are a Jedi knight. Marriage is forbidden.” It seemed he couldn’t accept the possibility that he could be part of a betrayal. She kept her eyes on Anakin. “Some rules are meant to be broken.” The statement was meant for both of them. Taking a step forward, Palo looked to Anakin and said, "Look I am sure that what you had with Padre was special, but its obvious that its over. She has made her choice. She doesn't want..." Anakin gaze hardened, “I am warning you. Stay out of this, artist, or you will regret it.” He turned his attention back to his betrayer and asked painfully, “How could you do this to me?” His lips pulled in to form a thin line across his face. “I told you it was over between us. It’s been over for a long time. If you haven’t realized that by now…,” she smirked, “you made a fool of yourself.” “And now you are leaving Coruscant and giving everything up for him?” Anakin felt like his heart was being ripped from his chest by one he trusted and cherished most. “For a man who can give me what I needed…what I wanted.” She chuckled and placed her hand over her swollen abdomen, amused by his agony. “I never considered giving up my duty as senator for you—to live through scandal and misery? For what? you? Never!! However I am willing to give it up for Palo—someone who is worthy of it.” She added a bit more salt to the wound and stepped forward to take Palo's hand. Anakin lifted his chin as he took in a breath and turned his head to the side. His jaws clenched, flexing the muscles repeatedly. The desire to purge his heart and mind of her betrayal was almost too great to resist. Palo glanced over at her. He wasn't sure whether to let go of her hand or hold on it. Something was unraveling here and he knew it was part or all of what she kept from him. He wanted more than anything to know just what she’s been up to. So far, he didn’t like what he was hearing. Palo wasn't sure he could accept her cruelty. Anakin looked at her again. “You were also willing to ruin my career as a Jedi. You went before the council. You are the one who gave them our marriage documents.” Restrained rage shook Anakin's voice with every word. “Padme…” Palo's irritation melted away. “You didn't do this...Did you?” His tone pleaded for her to deny it. But she didn't. She dropped her gaze and sighed heavily. She didn’t have nerve to look at Palo. “Yes, Palo. I did. It's true—all of it. I married him nearly five years ago and I regret that decision.” She paused and looked up at him, “You are the one I want. I love you.” “And while you were with him what was I to you?” Anakin pointed at himself. His breaths were coming faster and uneven as he awaited her answer. A part of him knew her answer would hard be to take. Even though he attempted to brace himself for the impact of her words, it would never do any good. She decided to force the dagger into the heart and twist. She raised her chin resolutely, “A misguided burden I had to carry.” It was at this exact moment that his heart shattered into thousand tiny pieces. Anakin winced and dropped his gaze. The wind was knocked out of chest. For several seconds, he couldn't find the strength to speak. Softly and painfully he asked, “A misguided burden?” His sight began to blur with unspent tears. “Was I a misguided burden when we fell in love? Misguided when I married you?” A voice entered his mind. Let go of your restraint and all the pain she has put you through will come to an end. Greater power is yours if you only reach out and claim it. “We are a lost cause, Anakin.” She raised an eyebrow. “Reality kicked in for me a long time ago. This marriage was pointless from the beginning.” Anger seemed to overpower his agony. Anakin opened and closed his hands as he began to pace angrily. His eyes never moved from hers. “You loved me, Padre! I felt it!” His nostrils flared and his shoulder heaved up and down as he moved back and forth. “Tell me, Jedi, do you feel it now?” She smirked again, shifting her weight to one side. Tempted by her taunts, Anakin stopped pacing and glared at her. It seemed the air around him became electrified with his anger. The desire to quench the urge for revenge was almost overwhelming. He moved menacingly closer to her. Palo stiffened and protectively stepped in front of her. Anakin stopped and pointed a gloved finger, “I have no quarrel with you. I suggest you leave now.” Palo shook his head slowly, “If I am going to leave her, it won't be with you.” Anakin ignored him and asked her through clenched teeth, "Obi-Wan told me what you said. Am I misguided about the baby too? Tell me it's not true.” She paused realizing that this was what brought him here. Obi-Wan had just revealed this truth to him, compelling him to seek out his wife and get the truth. She decided to push the dagger deeper. “It’s true, Anakin. I am carrying Palo’s child…not yours. I’m sorry.” Palo swallowed hard. Though he was relieved that to hear this, part of him felt sorry for Anakin. He glanced at her angrily and slowly shook his head, disgusted. Something exploded behind Anakin's eyes. The walls erected to confine the darkness fell. The fog that clouded his thoughts for months now seemed to overtake his senses. Nothing matter anymore but ridding himself of the continuous pain she was putting him through. “You’re s-sorry?” He heard himself respond but it sounded muffled. His mind erupted in a chaos of rage and suffering. Everything seemed fade to black except for the two beings before him. He looked down at the floor and it seemed something was breaking free inside. Anakin didn’t care anymore about restraining it. It was as if he fell under the hypnotic touch of some drug. “That’s just the way it is, Anakin. You already know the reasons why I’ve done this. I love Palo. Not you. I don’t want you anymore. I have loved him for a long time. We are going to live out our lives and raise our baby far away from here…. ” The Jedi don't want you, Obi Wan has betrayed you, and Padre has made a fool of you. Let go of your anger. Give in. It felt good to release, didn't it? The power to become greater than you are is within your grasp. Take it and make her pay. The tumultuous tornado that had once been the love he felt for her had begun to devour every other he felt except his anger. As she continued to speak it proved pointless as her words fell on deaf ears. What she has done must not go unanswered. Make her feel the pain you feel. Make her hurt as much as you do. Make her wish she never betrayed you. Rhyme and reason melted away leaving with nothing but pure rage and agony. The darkside reached up and claimed him before he realized it. Mercy, acceptance and humility no longer had a place. “...I have filed my resignation with the chancellor’s office and with the queen. I did you a favor, Anakin. You will be free to fulfill your commitment to Jedi and not have to worry about a family. You should receive final divorce papers——. “ She suddenly clutched her throat with both hands. Her mouth opened, as her lungs begged for sustenance. Despite the invisible threat, the raspy drags of breath she struggled to make called Palo's attention. Palo turned his head toward her. "Padre!" he called to her in a panic, "What's happening?" She directed her gaze toward Anakin, indicating her attacker. Palo whipped around and saw Anakin's gloved hand outstretched and slowly closing into a fist. “Oh gods!!! Stop it!” Palo took several steps toward him. “You are killing her! Let her go, Anakin!!” Blinded by the utter desire for revenge, Anakin ignored Palo and kept her in the clutches of the darkside. Palo moved toward Anakin and picked up a chair. The chair instantly flew out of his hands and smashed into pieces against the wall. Anakin finally released her and looked at Palo. She collapsed to her knees, wheezing and coughing. She rubbed her neck as she brought her gaze up to meet Anakin's fierce blue eyes that were now flickering with sparks of gold. Palo narrowed his eyes, seeing a slight change in Anakin’s face. Dark red circles appeared from beneath his eyes. A malice, the likes of which he had never seen before, was in the depths of Anakin’s changing eyes. Weary, Palo stepped back and yelled out over his shoulder, “Get out of here, Padre!” He looked back at Anakin and felt a sudden painful pressure around his heart which seemed to intensify by the second. She lifted her head up and saw Palo slowly fall to one knee. He was gasping and fiercely pounding on his chest. Anakin watched with emotionless eyes as Palo sunk to the other knee. “No, Anakin!! No!!” she screamed despite the raw pain in her throat, “Please don’t kill him!! Please! ” She shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. It was at this moment that she realized Avaryce had set her up. She deduced that Avaryce used Sidious's plan to his own advantage. Anakin would be so overcome by grief and distrust that he'd turn to the darkside. The news of her betrayal would compel him to do an unforgivable act--born of rage and torment. It was perfectly planned. Perfectly executed, except...She wasn't supposed to be here. She wasn't supposed to be the one suffering his wrath. This fate was meant for someone else. Avaryce altered the plan somehow and betrayed her. He tricked her into coming here. Never trust a Sith. The pressure was increasing and the pain seemed to stretch from his chest to each limb and every organ in his body. His heart felt like it would burst. The corner of Anakin’s mouth lifted briefly and he said, “I warned you to stay out of this.” “Anakin, please!! Don’t do this!!” Wide eyed, she begged, “ He’s innocent! He doesn’t know anything! Please Anakin!! Stop!” Palo groaned before blood spilled from his lips and his eyes closed. He fell lifelessly on the floor. His death was punctuated by a loud agonized wail. She crawled over to his body and shook him, repeatedly calling his name. But he wouldn’t answer. She turned his head toward her and saw the stain of blood across his cheek. Weeping, she passed a shaking hand across his dark hair and kissed his forehead. “My love.” She mouthed as she sobbed. "I am so sorry. I got you into this." Watching her, Anakin said, “I told you to end the affair…” He smirked, “…or I would.” She lifted her red swollen eyes toward him, her countenance...a true depiction of the pain of her loss and her will to avenge his death. She drew a weapon from her robes and took aim. Before she could get a shot off, the weapon was in Anakin’s waiting gloved hand. He closed it into a fist, destroying it and sending sparks into the air. Anakin looked at the weapon a few seconds before he looked at her. He tried to compose himself enough to deal with her but found great difficulty. He finally raised his eyes toward her and saw an angelic face flushed and slick with tears. Part of him could not help seeing the woman he loved as the way she was that day in the meadow. Her thick brown locks hugged her shoulders and lay along her back. Anakin loved the embedded scent of Nubian flowers whenever he held her. Her eyes were the deepest shade of brown he'd ever seen. He remembered how he loved to lose himself in them. Her skin was so soft and she had the most gentle touch. Through the force he felt the signatures of the unborn child she carried and found her admission was correct. The signature was not familiar. It was nothing like what he sensed the day she told him of his fatherhood. Nothing made sense. How could she deceive him like that? Was she so skilled in deception that she could even confuse him in the use of the force? An echo came to him...like ripples in a pond disturbed by a pebble. He remembered her words hours the day she told him of his fatherhood... “My heart is yours for all time, Anakin. No one could ever come between us. You don’t have to worry about Palo, Anakin. I am married to you. You make me happy." The tears had already woven a path down his cheeks. His chin trembled as he spoke, “I loved you more than life itself. Do you know what I have given up for you? I would have done anything for you. You and the baby were my life. And now, I am left with nothing. I am alone. How could you do this to me? How could you make such a fool of me, when I was so devoted to you? Why?” Panting from the shock of losing Palo and from the adrenaline coursing through her, she yelled angrily, “I have never hated you as much as I do now! I wish with all my heart that you suffer the same loss that I have just endured.” His voice cracked when he responded, “I already have.” He stretched out a gloved hand and closed the space around her neck. Again she gasped, hands flying up to her neck and eyes bulging as the pressure was even greater than before. “Since you love him so, be with him.” Red scratch marks appeared on her neck where she attempted to remove the unseen threat. Her eyes were locked on him pleading for him to release her, but all he could see was the personification of his pain. She was the cause of it…the center of it. He needed to rid the universe of her existence. Vanquish his tormentor. In his twisted mind, he thought life would be easier once she was gone. But still the pain would be vivid and strong. She neared the end of her struggle. As she felt death creep closer, she fought to form the answer to the question that would haunt him, a question that has wrapped his mind in confusion and misery...why? Between her final gasps, she uttered, “Be...ause… h-he…com…mands…it.” Her eyes rolled up as the eyelids fell for the last time. What she said was incomprehensible to him. The agony and the heartache numbed his senses. He was incapable of making sense of her stuccato of words. As soon as she collapsed lifelessly to the floor, the tide subsided and the fog lifted. All that surrounded him was the result of his anguish. The part of him that allowed his anger to kindle and allowed his resentment to fester suddenly reemerged. Agape and wide-eyed, he looked down at her body. There were no further signs of life from her or her unborn child. His body began to shake. Horror, shame and disgust drowned out the anger he gave into. Anakin blinked, breathing uneven deep breaths. He looked around at the destroyed furniture and at Palo's lifeless form. Fear of the finality of murder struck him and a cold shiver through him as look at his hands. He looked again at her body and weakly called out as if by some miracle she had just been asleep. “P-padme?” There was no answer. No movement or anything to suggest that everything would be alright. He stumbled backward toward the verandah and his docked ship inebriated from the magnitude of his actions. He turned his back and braced himself against the threshold. “What have I done?!” He looked over his shoulder and saw her hair sprawled against the floor. Her hair...the scent of which he loved to savor. She would never speak or move again. He would never hear her call his name again. His stomach churned and twisted at the sight. She was gone forever—the child that he anxiously awaited was no more. At the threshold of the verandah, he bent over hurling furiously until his stomach emptied its contents. He could not go to the Jedi for he didn’t trust them. He couldn’t go to Obi-wan, for he was now counted among the corrupted. The only one he had left was Palpatine. The fragmented pieces of his heart was now were spirited away by her death. He was nothing more than tortured wretched shell of the man he used to be. In that moment, the curtain fell on the Jedi knight, casting him forever in perpetual darkness. ~~~ Four figures entered the chancellor's office, unimpeded by any fledgling staff member or any member of Palpatine's guards. They ignored discretion for the sake of urgency and move into the anteroom toward the chancellor inner office. Palpatine sat behind his desk sifting through forms and other documents that required his attention. He appeared seemingly pleased with himself and complacent despite the common knowledge of the war. Mace and the other three Jedi passed the threshold of his office and stopped. Without looking up from his work or indicating any surprise, the chancellor uttered, “Master Windu, I am surprised to see you here. I didn’t expect you until the morning.” “Grievous has been destroyed. The war is over. We are here to ensure a smooth transition of power.” The tone in his voice ensured that there was no mistake. The line was being between the Jedi and Palpatine. “You must step down immediately.” Palpatine raised his head, “And if I refuse?” “Then I’m afraid, we will have to see to it by force.” Through clenched teeth he asked, “Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?” There was something ominous in the air. The force that surrounded them seemed the crackle and howl with fierce energy. The imminent class between opposing forces threatened a great turn of the tide. It was palpable in the force. Mace kept his eyes on the now visibly angered Sith lord. “Power must go back to the senate.” Chancellor Palpatine slowly rose to his feet. “You fool! I am the senate.” “Not yet.” The hilt of a lightsaber seemed to magically appear in his hand. “Surely you know that your actions are treasonous.” “The courts will decide that for themselves.” Mace and the masters ignited their weapons and prepared for battle.
