What if Mace Windu had been able to kill Palpatine, even with Anakin’s interference? Would the Council have forgiven Anakin for breaking one of the most sacred laws in the Jedi Order, and nearly destroying all of them?
George Lucas owns Star Wars, not me. I own nothing at all, so please do not sue.
Requiem
The ivory-armored clone troopers stood outside the apartment’s only door, blaster rifles held across their chests, their
fearsome helmets giving them the appearance of automatons. As a brown-robed figure approached them, their rifles swung up to
cover him, each one pointing at a different vital area on his body. The figure threw back his hood, to reveal a weathered
face, that had been aged beyond its years by sorrow and loss, and whose eyes were filled with an eternal sadness. A clone
with red markings on his armor that showed his rank to be that of a colonel, spoke out in harsh tones, “Identify yourself
immediately” he said. The old man waved his hand in front of the commander’s face, “You don’t need to see my identification,”
he said. The clone responded in a monotone, “ We don’t need to see his identification,” he said, to his troops. The old man
grinned, and spoke again, “You will allow me access to the apartment and allow me to leave with the occupant.” The colonel
nodded his head briskly, and touched a control on his belt, then motioned the man forward. The door slid open, with a hiss of
hydraulics, revealing another door, which also slid open, to reveal a third, which opened to reveal a rather large, and
comfortable apartment. The old man entered the apartment, and the door’s sealed shut behind him, he made his way through a
hallway, and entered a small garden, where, at a bench, a woman sat. As he entered the room, the woman turned to him, and let
out a gasp of surprise, which was quickly replaced by a delightful smile, which looked totally out of place on her withered
form. Getting up from the bench, she ran to the man and embraced him, burying her face in his chest, tears of happiness
flowing from her eyes. “Oh Obi-Wan” she cried, “It’s so good to see you”
Obi-Wan smiled, and then pulled away from the woman, and looked at her, shocked at the transformation that had occurred since
he had last seen her. What had once been a beautiful, vivacious, and intelligent woman had become a sad, lonely and broken
person, with nothing but a spark of life keeping her alive. Padme Amidala’s beautiful eyes had lost their shine, her lovely
hair had lost its luster, and her wonderful smile had all but vanished, only appearing during these brief, and seldom visits.
Obi-Wan shook his head, and said “Come with me Padme, I’m taking you to see Anakin.” Her eyes lit up the mention of her
husband’s name, and she quickly slipped into her shoes, throwing a shawl over her head, so as not to be recognized. They made
their way out of the windowless apartment, past the clones, and into the high-security hangar, where Obi-Wan helped her into
a speeder, and then took off, heading for the Jedi Temple.
Coruscant had been transformed under its three years of Jedi rule, so, due to the laws restricting non-essential air traffic,
the trip to the Jedi Temple took only a few minutes. Obi-Wan landed the speeder in a low-level docking bay, and then hurried
to get Padme out of the speeder, and into the turbolift, Master Yoda had promised that he would be able to initiate a
momentary malfunction in the Temple’s security camera’s, but he hadn’t said for how long. Once they were in the turbolift,
Obi-Wan hit the button for sub-level twenty-seven, and then slid a key card into the access slot, to override the travel
restrictions, the turbolift beeped in acknowledgement, and began to descend. As it descended, Obi-Wan thought about the
events that had led him to this point, where he and Yoda were defying the Council, just to allow Padme to see her husband.

Like it? I'm new to the boards, so if you like it and want to read more, please review. Just one or two reviews, and I will post the next part. Please, I am brand new, and this is my first story, so I would really appreciate some reviews and criticism. Thank you.

Seems like a pretty interesting concept.
What happened to Anakin? Obi and Yoda are defying the Council? I have so many other questions. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I appreciate your input. Yes, we will see what happened to Anakin in the next chapter, I'll post it tomorrow, though I have the whole story written already. I think it's best to stagger it out a bit. As for Anakin, let's just say that one Jedi cannot stand against thousands of others, even if he is Chosen One. As for you having more questions, I hope the next post will answer them. For Mace and the rest of the Council, let's just say that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I think the next post will give more of an idea of what the situation in the Jedi Order truly is. Again, thank you so much for reading, this is my first fic, and I would appreciate your continued input. I would also appreciate it if you could recommend this to anyone else on these boards that you think might be interested. Thank you once again, and the next post will be up tomorrow morning.

Here's the second post, just like I promised. Enjoy, and remember, the review button is your friend.
It all started when Mace Windu killed Palpatine in cold blood, he thought. Once he had done that, the rest of the Jedi had begun to emulate him, becoming ruthless, killing their enemies, even in cold blood, ordering the people to do exactly what they told them to do. Soon after that, the Jedi Council had voted him off, along with the other pacifistic members, leaving only what they called the “Jedi Lords”, Jedi who were willing to cross the line, willing to kill one to save two, willing to murder and innocent in cold blood to save a thousand, willing to dictate to the people, to rule over them, all in the name of peace and security. The Galactic Senate was now a sham, delegates who simply discussed and argued, but accomplished nothing, for the simple reason that they no longer had any power. Bail Organa, the Supreme Chancellor was a puppet of the Jedi Council, when they wanted a law passed, they told him, and he immediately saw to it.
Yoda was the only member of the Jedi Council who opposed these totalitarian moves, but he was always outvoted, eleven to one, so he had eventually resigned himself to just watch, helpless, as the Jedi abandoned their traditions, in favor of effectiveness. Any Jedi who did not agree with the Council’s decisions had their Force energy stolen by the telepath Azrael Yoom, leaving them cut off from the Force entirely. Once the Council members, excluding Yoda, who never participated in these sessions, had added the stolen Force powers to their own, thus increasing their own strength, they killed the Jedi, incinerating them with the Force.
The turbolift beeped, jolting Obi-Wan out of his thoughts, the doors opened, and he took Padme’s hand, making his way down the hallway to the first cell of sub-level twenty-seven. A pair of clones clad in ebony armor stood in front of the door, rifles held at the ready, as Obi-Wan and Padme moved toward the door, the clones leveled their weapons at them, and prepared to fire. Obi-Wan spoke quickly “I am here to see the prisoner, I have authorization from Master Mace Windu, Grand Master of the Jedi Order,” he held out a datacard that Master Yoda had forged. One of the clones took the datacard, and examined it carefully, once he was satisfied, he gestured to his partner, who opened the door. A rank smell of human wastes, sweat, and blood reached Obi-Wan’s nose, and he grimaced. Turning to the clones, he frowned, “Hasn’t he had proper refresher facilities?” he asked, appalled at the implications of the odor. The lead clone shook his head, “Our orders are to give him intravenous injections of nutrients three times a day, as well as hydration shots, that’s all, he doesn’t need refresher facilities.” Obi-Wan’s eyes widened in shock, “Who ordered this?” he asked in horrified revulsion. “These orders were given by Lord Windu himself,” said the clone, suspiciously, “Why don’t you know that?” he asked. Obi-Wan frowned, and motioned for Padme to enter the cell, turning to the clones, he said, “You are not to mention this visit to anyone, is that understood.” The clones both nodded and returned to their posts, rifles once again held at he ready. As he entered the cell, Obi-Wan held his breath in anticipation of seeing his friend after three years.

Evil Jedi, interesting concept... Count me in for PM notification, I can't wait to see what you do with this. Horrible conditions for Anakin, and not permitted to see his wife, either.

Thanks to all of you for reviewing. Unfortunately, I do not know how to send PM's, as I am new to the boards. However, you can expect rapid updates, at least one chapter a day. Thank you all, and the next chapter will be up tommorrow.

Ah, but is Anakin still capable to inflicting balance? Or has balance already been done, by the death of Darth Sidious? Well, I don't know how to do PM's, but I will say this, Anakin is no longer capable of maintiaining his bodily functions, let alone bringing balance to the Force, thanks to Azrael Yoom.

"Evil Jedi, interesting concept... Count me in for PM notification, I can't wait to see what you do with this. Horrible conditions for Anakin, and not permitted to see his wife, either."
Indeed, the Jedi have become the very thing they intended to destroy. Anakin is in no condition to see anyone, let alone his wife, that's why he isn't permitted visitors. But, of course, the Jedi Council doesn't want the public to know that Anakin still lives. Thanks for reading, and the next post will be up tommorrow.

Next post is up, enjoy. Oh, and try to guess what species Azrael Yoom is. Please review. Thanks
Everyone in the galaxy knew the basic story; Anakin Skywalker was a traitor, both to the Republic, and to the Jedi. He had conspired with Chancellor Palpatine to overthrow the Republic and create an Empire, and for his actions, the Jedi Council had put him to death, or so everyone thought. Anakin Skywalker died 3 years ago, his Force power’s stolen, and his brain lobotomized by the Force. On the day that Anakin Skywalker died, Prisoner 330015 was born. 330015 was described by the clones guarding his cell as tall, with blond hair, a perfect physique, and completely insane. They said that for most of the time he was deathly silent, so silent, that they sometimes opened the doors to check if he was still alive. Other times, he would rant and rave for hours on end, screaming about a bald giant that had locked him away, and about a long-necked creature that had broken his head. He would also talk lovingly about an angel, with brown hair and blue eyes, one who he said he loved. The clones had long since learned to tune his insane outbursts out, and just stand guard.
The lights in the cell came on, and Obi-Wan had to resist the urge to vomit, as he looked around the cell. There was a pile of stinking wastes in the corner, blood stained the walls, and then there was the prisoner, just looking at him nearly broke Obi-Wan’s heart. Anakin Skywalker had once been a handsome young man, with a bright smile, and golden-blond hair, now, just like Padme, he was a shell of the man he had been before. Padme was about to go touch him, when the cell door opened again, Obi-Wan turned to admonish the clones, to tell them that he did not want to be disturbed, what he saw in the doorway made his breath catch in his throat.

Indeed, they are not even Jedi anymore, however, they are slightly more noble than the Sith, though some might argue that they're even worse than the SIth, after all theres nothing worse than a zealot.
Yes, check for updates every day. This is part of an AU world, where Mace beat Sidious. There will be other fics as well, that detail some of the events that are referred to in this fic. Also, please check out my other fics, which deal with LOTF

Once again, please review, and I will continue to post every day until it is finished. Hopefully, by then I'll have something else ready from this AU. Also, if you like this, then try my other fics, you may enjoy them. Once again, thank you for your reviews, and next post is up early tommorrow.
