Chapter One
Anakin Skywalker awoke from a harsh dream, sweating and panting. With sharp turns of his neck, he glanced around at his room. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his right wrist. He cradled his left arm, as if Count Dooku would sever that one off as well. Anakin had only had his mechno hand for seven months now.He slid out of bed. He stared at the droid parts he'd salvaged from the Third Battle of Null. Then he looked at his skeletal, droid-like right arm. A grin slipped across his face.

Obi-Wan Kenobi paused out by the door to his Padawan's room. Shadows were cast across the temple in twilight hours. He activated Anakin's door. The room was like a workshop. There was Anakin, adding black metal plating to his mechno-hand. "Don't worry, Master. The room's only like this when I have a project. Otherwise, it's just my bed, my desk and computer and my worktable," Anakin said to a wide-eyed Obi-Wan. "You can help me with this junk, though." Obi-Wan eyed Anakin's right arm. "I'll help you with the clean-up, Anakin," he said. Ten to twelve minutes later, Anakin's right arm was fully-plated, with a bit of gold showing here and there. Five to seven minutes after that, Anakin's room was no longer a mess. Mace Windu was waiting on a balcony situated on the west wing of the Jedi Temple. Anakin and Obi-Wan walked up, bracing themselves for what Mace had to say.

"Dooku's out there, amassing an army for himself." Anakin said in a sullen tone. Obi-Wan nodded in agreement.

"Fortunately for us, Master Fisto found out about the Separatist's alliance with KonTag or else the whole industrial sector of Courascant would be down, deleting the possiblility of Jabiim, Bespin and Von-Alai staying in the Republic." Mace said, with a hard, fixed stare at the said region. "With one sector down, the others would fail as well, no doubt, and we would lose the entire war," Obi-Wan added, shaking his head.

Suddenly, the feeling of the dark side reached Anakin. He glanced down at the landing pad where Jedi's airspeeders were parked. He leaped down, just a few feet away from his airbike, Sithslayer. He swung himself over the airbike's seat. He turned his vehicle on and launched it across the sky. His comlink buzzed. It was Obi-Wan. Anakin ignored it. But the feeling of the dark side he felt on the balcony could not be ignored.

Anakin knew that Count Dooku was somewhere nearby. Blaster bolts were fired at Anakin's engines, wizzing past him. Anakin gave a glance at his attacker. Two CIS battle droids were shooting at him! Anakin rolled his bike to dodge a close shot. Struggling to control his vehicle and manipulate his now-activated lightsaber while looking behind him, Anakin swung his deadly blue blade. Blaster bolts pzz-anged as they deflected off Anakin's weapon. In little more than a second, the fired energy bolts hit the droids. Deactivating his saber, Anakin redirected his attention to his course. He was almost there. Then, with a shove, Anakin pushed his bike onto his destination balcony, leaped from it and reactivated his lightsaber. Two CIS B2 battle droids guarded the entrance.
