What if Anakin didn't dew it? Episode 4

Impending Danger
Sidious is sitting in a chair in a dark room inside of one of his hideouts. Wondering how he will get revenge on Anakin and Obi wan for foiling his plans. Sidious also is considering allowing Anakin a chance to surrender and turn himself into him. Unfortunately, due to Kenobi's intervention, Sidious feels that he may have lost the trust of Anakin. Sidious does not want to take Anakin as an apprentice because he feels that Anakin will use his new found rage towards Sidious to kill him when he gets the opportunity. Sidious then has a desire to get Anakin executed before he becomes more powerful or to maim and break Anakin to the point that he is no longer a threat.

Sidious knows that Anakins power is growing exponential and feels that he may need to personally kill Anakin, but, he also is driven by his desire to draw out the jedi. Sidious knows the jedi are going to muster their survivors, so he orders the Coruscant guard to attack the jedi temple with all of their forces. Sidious then has another plan. The sith lord suddenly has a sinister smile and starts laughing.

Anakin breaks down again from the unfortunate turn of events. Anakin says "I trusted Palpatine with my life and he used me like a pawn. Like Dooku!" Obi wan pats Anakin on the back and says "My friend, we must focus if we are to properly solve this issue. Listen to the force and see what it tells you". Anakin then looks at Obi wan and yells "Padme! I must reach her, before Sidious". Anakin and Obi wan both fly from a couple of stolen speeders and head towards Padme's residence.

While Padme is at her residence, she notices a Republic LAAT gunship land on her landing pad. A squad of clone shock troopers exit the vehicle. Padme looks at C39O and says "I wonder why they are here, I wonder if its news about Anakin." C39O rushes out of the complex to greet the clones with Padme not far behind. The clone troopers are startled by the droid and slightly raise their blasters at him. Padme realizes that something isn't right as soon as she walks through the door and by the clones reaction.

Padme turns around and runs back inside. Padme isn't sure why she decided to run but, she doesn't look back. One of the clones shoves C39O aside and they all charge towards the door. Padme runs to the other side of her complex and one of the shock troopers plants a charge on the front door. The front door is suddenly blown open and three shock troopers charge into the complex. The other two clones blast two windows open on the second floor and use their gravity hooks to climb up to the that level.

The clones suddenly make it to the second floor and one of them sees Padme and opens fire. Padme ducks behind furniture and the clone has immediately pinned her down. Chunks of the couch she is behind are blasted off. A second clone has joined him and Padme can hear the foot steps of the other three clones approaching that are preparing to rush and flank her. One of the two clones picks up his thermal detinator and plans of finishing Padme off with it.

Then suddenly a loud crash sound is heard and a piece of the wall bursts open beside the two clones that had Padme pinned down is burst. The clones are both knocked out and one of them drops a grenade that he had just activated. That grenade flies into the other three clones that were attempting to rush Padme and explodes. The three clones are violently knocked to the ground. Anakin enters from the breach that he made in the second floor.

Anakin rushes towards Padme and picks her up in a passionate hug. Padme starts crying and says "I heard that jedi were killed throughout the galaxy and that you were a fugitive. I feared that you were also killed." Anakin reassures Padme "No one is going to kill me and I won't let anyone hurt you." One of the clones that seemed to be killed by the explosion was actually still alive. The clone slowly reaches towards a blaster dropped but it is suddenly force pulled across the room by Kenobi.

Kenobi then asks the clone "What made you decide to do that? Who ordered you to kill Miss Admidala?" The clone sighs and says "You won't get anything out of me you traitor!" The clone suddenly pulls out a pistol and opens fire. Kenobi force deflects the shot into the clone's chest killing him. Kenobi then reluctantly says "What a waste." Anakin then rushes down stairs and exclaims "Obi-wan, I want you to protect Padme. I'll deal with Palpatine." Kenobi then interrupts "If Palpatine is anything like Dooku describes or circumstances have shown, you won't be able to beat him alone." Anakin then says "Who said I was going to fight him alone."

Anakin then shares a message that he just received from Yoda about being attacked by his clones. Obi wan responds "Oh, I seem to have also gotten a message about that. But you do know that Sidious is going to go where ever he thinks Padme is." Anakin replies "Yes, but that does not mean that she can't be hidden. We could release a decoy to lure him into a trap, but first we must get her out of Coruscant." Kenobi then gets another message about an attack on the temple by the Coruscant guard that is apparently being lead by a hooded darksider. Obi wan and Anakin suddenly look at each other again in surprise.

A New Storm
Anakin suddenly starts running towards a landspeeder and Obi wan quickly follows him. Obi wan yells "Anakin, Anakin!" Anakin keeps running as fast as he can and gets ready to jump inside of the speeder when Obi wan grabs onto his left shoulder. Obi wan exclaims "Wait!" Anakin then turns around and exclaims "I need to go to the Jedi temple and stop Sidious! I need to make this right." Obi wan then warns "He is baiting you! You should know this! Just wait for us to link up with Yoda. We can take him together."

Anakin responds "The longer we wait, the more innocent Jedi that will die. There are younglings that are at risk! I cannot sit back and let them die. You watch Padme! I will link up with you when I return." Anakin suddenly dives in his speeder and takes off heading for the Jedi temple. Obi wan sighs and thinks "Oh, great. Now what? Padme needs protection, but Anakin could get himself killed". Padme then runs towards Obi wan and shouts "Obi wan! What is happening?"

Meanwhile Anakin is speeding towards the temple as fast as he can and suddenly notices that the path towards the temple is blocked off by Coruscant guard troops. The platform is about 60 meters north of him. Every route to the temple is blocked off by different teams of three clones that are standing on mobile defense platforms. These platforms have a mounted blaster turret on them. Two of the clones are armed with long blaster rifles. Anakin proceeds to keep flying in their direction anyway and the Coruscant guard troops.

The corporal of the team looks confused when he notices a speeder heading in their direction. One of the clones quickly says "Look, a speeder is rapidly approaching. Could it be a jedi or just some crazy fool?" The corporal warns his subordinates, " Keep your blasters up and be ready to fire on my command! I will offer a warning." The corporal pulls out a speaker and says "Attention, you are heading in a no fly zone. Immediately stop your vehicle or we will open fire!" Anakin does not slow down and is only about 30 meters away from the clones.

The clones do not hesitate to start firing at Anakin. Anakin spins his speeder in circles and uses his exceptional piloting skills to evade incoming blaster shots from the clones. Even with Anakin's skills, dodging shots from a rapid fire blaster turret in a non-combat speeder isn't easy. A piece of Anakin's speeder is shot and smokes starts to flow from the speeder. Anakin knows that he must act quickly to avoid being shot down so he moves his speeder towards the clones as he is about 10 meters from them which they do not expect and then uses a powerful force push to knock the clones off the platform.

The corporal manages to grab a hold of part of the platform, but the other two clones are not so lucky (they fall to their deaths).The corporal climbs back on top of his floating platform as Anakin's speeder passes him. The corporal then activates his comm and says "A jedi has just broken through patrol 57. He is heading for the temple." Anakin flies closer towards the temple and can see it from the distance. Anakin sees smoke being emitted from the temple and notices waves of clones still entering the temple. Anakin decides to pick an alternate route to enter the temple that less clones may know of.

As Anakin flies towards the side temple entrance, he notices that clones have still managed to surround the entire temple; however there are less forces at this entrance that there were at the main entrance. Anakin sees a team of about 15 clone shock troopers standing outside the entrance. With a mix of long ranged blaster rifles and short ranged blaster carbines. The clones all concentrate their fire towards Anakin's vehicle and Anakin avoids incoming shots while flying his speeder at maximum speed.

Anakin's speeder gets shot three times and large amounts of smoke are emitted through the speeder. Anakin makes sure that he is flying above the clones so, that they cannot land a clear shot on him and can only hit his speeder. Anakin suddenly dives out of his speeder while moving the steering wheel to cause it to fly towards the clones and dives off the speeder. Anakin sees dozens of clone blaster shots fly past him as he uses the force to gracefully on the platform. The speeder crashes into about five clones and kills them all in a violent explosion. The explosion also knocks another three clones to the ground and disorients the rest of the clones on the platform.

Anakin then ignites his lightsaber and charges towards the clones. Anakin immediately cuts down the three clones who were just getting up from their fall. Anakin is still covered by the smoke that was emitted from the explosion. Anakin then dives in the air over the crashed speed and incoming clones suddenly see him in the air. One of the clones shouts "Open fire!" ,but as soon as the clones open fire Anakin lands on the platform and produces a force shockwave when he lands in between the five clones, sending four of them flying off the platform and another one flying into one of the other five clones behind him.

The clones open fire and finally get a clear sight of Anakin. Anakin quickly deflects their shots with ease, suddenly reflecting three incoming blaster bolts right into the bodies of three shock troopers. Anakin charges forward, looking like a blur to the shock troopers that are struggling to keep up with him. Anakin swiftly strikes a shock trooper down and reflects another two blaster shots into two more clones. Anakin dives in front of two clone troopers and quickly cuts both of them down then Anakin force throws the last clone off the platform.

Anakin then rushes inside of the jedi temple. Anakin sees a few padawans running to battle with their lightsabers ignited and looks in another direction and sees many other jedi clashing with clones. Anakin then is approached by a bald and pale human jedi knight with brown eyes, a beard, brown and yellow robes, and a green lightsaber. The jedi knight says "Wo, you're Anakin. We could use your help!" Anakin then says "Where is my help most needed?" The jedi knight responds "I'm not the best person to ask, but I'll tell you what I can. The whole temple has been hit, quickly and with brute force. Thousands of clones immediately swooped in here and a few from every direction. The front entrance got hit the hardest and some hooded dark sider quickly punched a whole through our defenses. Now everyone is in a scramble and we are falling back." Anakin then tells the jedi "Tell everyone to keep falling back and make way for me to find the dark sider. I will make a stand against the bulk of their forces, just get me there quickly!"

Aggressive Negotiations
Meanwhile Padme tells Obi wan, "I am not going to let Anakin die! We need to do something. If you don't, then I'll go after him myself." Obi wan replies "You know I do not like the idea of leaving Anakin in harms way, but you cannot go out there. Its too dangerous. I know you have a knack for danger, but this is far too much even for you." Padme walks towards her ship and says "You are not doing a good job at convincing me to do otherwise". Then Obi wan says "Wait, what if I told you that I have a better way of making sure that both you and Anakin survive?" Padme says "That is what I've been waiting for you to tell me!"

Obi wan then says "I needed you to understand what Anakin is doing, now that we know that I need you to listen. Yoda recently contacted me and said that we was betrayed by his clones. I had recently sent a text to his Starfighter, asking him to come to Coruscant. If Yoda gets to the temple in time, then he will have the best chance of ensuring that Anakin is safe and perhaps even defeat Palpatine." Padme then stopped talking for a few seconds, walked a few feet away from Kenobi, and pondered the situation.

Padme then walked back towards Obi wan and said "I will leave this area, if I know for certain that Yoda arrives. But I need to see him first before I leave." Obi wan then says "Good. If Yoda arrives then I will go with you to keep a promise for an old friend. But I will not be willing to leave this planet unless he arrives." Padme comments "How long do you think we will have to wait?" Obi wan says "I'm not sure. I sent a message out after Anakin raced off and right before you came to talk. Yoda said he became the personal target of an entire clone platoon that is hunting him ,but the force will make a way."

Palpatine is powerful enough to swiftly wipe out all of the jedi in his path, but Palpatine's pleasure in killing so many jedi in person is just too great for him to do so. Palpatine savors each jedi he injures and kills. Palpatine also knows that most of the jedi he is fighting do not have a chance against him and any jedi that seems remotely dangerous may be the only ones that he would swiftly eliminate. This gives Anakin a better chance of catching Palpatine before he wipes out all of the jedi and the jedi at least had the advantage of immediately noticing the attack (although it was unexpected). Some younglings were already evacuated from the main attack because the jedi were able to see it coming (but they were only taken to another part of the temple since a fleet of Venators has locked down space).

In a large room a unit of about 21 clones with short blaster rifles open fire on a team of about six jedi (three with green lightsabers, two with blue lightsabers, and one with dual blue lightsabers). The jedi deflect incoming shots from the clones taking down six of them. The jedi then rush the clones and manage to cut down three more of them. The clones continue to suppress fire against the jedi and a Rodian jedi with a green lightsaber is shot down. The zabark jedi with dual blue lightsabers then dives towards the clones deflecting multiple shots and sends one shot right back into a clone's head. The jedi then cuts down two clones with a swift blitz and then leaps forward again and decapitates a clone. The remaining eight clones suddenly stop firing and slowly walk backwards.

They are confused by the clone's actions but, stay alert. Suddenly a hooded figure dives in front of the clones and ignites a red lightsaber. One of the jedi knights (who is in his early forties) with a beard and dark brown hair warns the others "Stay together!" A Bothan padawan with a green lightsaber dives forward and Palpatine immediately shocks him with lightning. This lightning sends the padawan flying 8 feet back. Palpatine then lunges forward and swings at the jedi with the dark brown beard. The jedi dodges the attack then diagonally swings at Palpatine. Palpatine blocks his attack, knocks the jedi's lightsaber in the left direction, then force pulls him in the air and tosses him into a tan female jedi padawan with medium length hair. Palpatine then quickly cuts a male jedi padawan in half (who wielded a blue lightsaber).

The zabark jedi then rushes Palpatine but Palpatine swiftly dodges the jedi's attack then force pull him into Sidious's lightsaber. A Kel Dor jedi with a green light saber that is behind Papatine lunges towards Palpatine and Palpatine back flips behind the jedi then slices him in half. The jedi with the dark hair and the female jedi both get up and re-ignite their lightsabers. The male knight says "Stay behind me!" to the female padawan. He then vertically swings his saber at Palpatine and Palpatine dodges the attack then counters the jedi by cutting him on his side. The jedi falls to the floor in pain and the female padawan yells "No!!" while charging towards the dark lord.

Palpatine flicks her lightsaber out of her hand and releases lethal bolts of lightning into her body. The padawan falls to the ground. Palpatine then looks at the injured jedi knight and says "You are weak and pathetic. Just like all of your kind because you fail to embrace the truth. You all are destined for destruction." The jedi then stands up with his hand on his side and proclaims: "We are not defeated yet and we never will be! You cannot kill the love and spirit that we have. You are a broken man, who feels that you can only take away from others to make up for what you lack as an individual. You will always be a slave to your desires to deprive others and your hunger will never cease. While we are free, even in death!" Palpatine utters "And die you shall!"

Then Palpatine is suddenly sent flying back with a powerful force push. Palpatine falls on his behind and immediately starts groaning in frustration. When Palpatine spring back to his feet he sees Anakin in front of him along with four temple guards. Anakin had told most of the temple guards to focus on assisting other jedi while he dealt with Palpatine, but he knew that he might need some backup for this fight. Palpatine ignites his lightsaber and yells "You should have stayed at home with your wife, boy! Now you surely will be killed!" Anakin then says "That remains to be seen. After all, I am the chosen one. I am meant to bring balance to the force and what better way to do that than by killing you". Palpatine starts laughing then says "You have never faced a true sith like me before. Prepare to face the full might of the dark side." Then Anakin says "Yawwwwn! I didn't know that true sith gave this many lame monologues. Lets see what you can really do."
