Rise Of The Empire

Chapter 1

On the planet of Coruscant inside the Supreme Chancellors office Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker are talking, Palpatine turns to Anakin. "I Hope you trust me Anakin." he said. Anakin smiles "Of Course." Anakin answers in a confused look. Palpatine smiles at him. "I need you're help son." Anakin looked at him more carefully. "What do you mean?" Anakin asked. As they pass through the door to go outside in the senate hallway Palpatine says. "Anakin I am depending on you. To be my personal representative on the Jedi Council." he said with a kind smile. Anakin asked in a surprised voice You want me to become a Jedi Master?" "Yes Anakin." THe Chancellor answers. "Chancellor." Anakin lets out a little laugh. "The council selects its own members they won't go through with this." As they reach the door way to go into the senate chambers The Chancellor turns to Anakin. "Anakin they need you. Come you'll be my guest in the Senate we still need to confirm that Count Dooku is dead."

Chapter 2

In the Senate Meeting Andy Skywalker cousin to Anakin Skywalker whom is also A Jedi and a Senator to his homeworld of Dantooine is listening to the Chancellor Speak. "Senators after yesterdays attack on Coruscant I was kidnapped by the Seperatist Leader known by General Grievous. I am horned that the two well known Jedi known as Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi saved my life." The Senate roared in applause. Andy sees Anakin next to Palpatine sitting down, Andy continues to listen to what the Chancellor is saying. "Anakin would you please tell the Senators what happened when you recued me?" He asked Anakin. Anakin stands up nervously infront the entire Senate. He doesnt know if he should tell them the whole truth, Anakin clears his throat. "Count Dooku was their Master Kenobi and I fought him. I had Dooku cornered I asked the Chancellor if he should be arrested but he gave me orders to kill him." He explained. The Senate cheered once again at the news that Count Dooku is dead. After hearing of what he just herd Andy spoke. "I am sorry to interrupt Chancellor wouldve it made more appropriate that you let Dooku live and stand trail for what he's done." The Chancellor was about to answer him when another Senator spoke up. "If I remember correctly Master Jedi You were once on trail for killing ten Jedi, Republic Troopers, and for joining the Dark Side." Said the Senator of the Trade Federation. The Chancellor rises his up in the air calming all Senators down. "Senator Skywalker is no longer with those dark side users of force he is with the Republic." The Senator of the Trade Federation sat back down with a angry look on his face. As the Senate meeting ended Anakin and Andy were walking to Andy's office. As they enter Anakin sat in the chair in front of the table while Andy walked to get drinks. "Thank goodness that's over." Anakin said in relief. "I know that one Senator can't seem to get a grip that i'm not a traitor." Andy says handing Anakin a glass of water as he sits in his chair. "Anakin did you really kill Count Dooku?" He asks. "Yes Andy as I explained in the meeting I did kill him." "How did you kill him?" Andy asked with a concerned look. "We were fighting I saw a opening so I cut both hands off disarming him of his lightsaber, Palpatine said I can kill him I didn't want to but I felt revenge as I did back on Naboo after he tried to kidnap the Chancellor during the festival of light remember?" Anakin explained. "Hmm isn't that when Obi Wan went undercover as a bounty hunter?" Andy asked. "Yes I forgot you only got the brief story of what happened." They both started to laugh as they clashed their glasses together.

Chapter 3

In deep space General Grievous's shuttle is going towards the planet of Utapau, where he would meet with the rest of the Seperatist council. As the shuttle on the planet the prime minster of Utapau walked towards him. "Welcome back General. I must inform you that you revised a message from one of your masters I advice that you talk to him." Grievous looks at hi with a furious look as he walks into the elevator. Grievous enters a room he walks to a table where a hooded figure in a hologram was waiting for him. "General Grievous I suggest you move the Separatist leaders to the Mustafar System." Said the hooded figure as Grievous bows to him. "It will be done my lord." Grievous said. "The end of the war is near General." "But the loss of Count Dooku?" Grievous said in a nervously voice if the hooded man didn't know what happened to his faithful apprentice. "His death was a necessary loss. Soon I will have a new apprentice one more younger and more powerful." He said with a grin on his face. In the room of Andy Skywalker inside of the Jedi Temple he couldn't fall asleep knowing that Anakin killed Count Dooku in cold blood. As he was finally drifting off into a deep sleep he hears a voice. "Andy." Andy looked around seeing that his door was not opened. He said to himself. "Just another trick of the force I take it." Then the voice came again. "Andy my son." Andy reached out for his lightsaber turning a red came blade on. As he did he was shocked that it was red not blue he also found himself not in his room anymore but on a planet which he remembered. As he looked around he saw a figure coming towards him, he was walking towards him. As grew closer Andy could make out of whom it was but he did not want to believe it. "Skywalker." He said in a deep voice. "Who are you?" Andy asked with his lightsaber pointing at his chest. "I am you remember. Darth Xenos." Andy was in deep shock he didn't answer. "You seem not to be afraid." Xenos said. "You are hard to be afraid of." Andy said. "Jokes wont save you here Skywalker. You Rejoin the Dark Side." said Xenos using the force on the lightsaber to get it. Andy stood there looking at him. "Never I will never join the dark side. Never again." "Hmm, I see. Well My friend I sensed that a new power will be rising a new order will once again crush the Republic, All of the Jedi will be executed, You know it is true I am apart of you. You must join the Dark Side to be able to kill the Sith Lord. If not you will die along side the Jedi." Xenos Explained. "Your Lying. The Jedi are not in danger the war is almost over." Andy said. "Fool!" Xenos uses the force to push Andy at a wall of a building near by. The figure reappears in front of him with the blade near Andy's neck. "Our Masters right... we will never be half the Jedi as Anakin is." "Never bring Coleman into this." Said Andy. "Ha. I remember during the battle of Geonosis our Master died by the gun fire of Jango Fett. We could've saved him and killed both Jango and Dooku if you only used your power then. But no you were weak." Xenos said. "No you are the one who is weak and scared, Like I said I will never turn to the Dark Side ever again. You will never be apart of me again." Andy uses the force to make his dark side figure go away as he was doing so his dark side said. "Your going to die with the rest of your Jedi friends." As he disappears. Andy awakened in his bed in sweat he looked up, In front of his bed stood Darth Xenos. "I am a Jedi not longer a Sith." He said. Xenos turned on the lightsaber and strikes at Andy the blade with through his body making no mark on him. Andy opened his eyes and saw he was alone in his room the sun was almost up, the same voice Andy herd before came again. "Well done my son." Andy smiled to himself and fell back into a peaceful sleep.

Chapter 4

Anakin awakened with a panic look in his face. He got up and walked into the living room, he sat on the sofa. He herd Padme get up as well he looked out into the city of Coruscant. He felt a warm smooth hand touching his shoulder. "Are you OK?" Padme asked. Anakin didn't answer. "How long is it until we are going to be honest with each other?" She asked. Anakin sighed. "It was a dream." "And." She asked him. "Remember the dreams like I used about my mother dying?" Anakin asked Padme. "Yes." Padme answered with a worried look in her eyes. "It was about you, Dying in child birth." Padme looked at him in shock. "What about our baby?" Asked Padme. "I don't know." "Anakin this baby will change our lives." Padme said. "I will not let this dream come real Padme." said Anakin taking Padme by the arms pulling her into a hug. "It wont Anakin I promise you." "I promise you once I speak to the Council tomorrow I will be on the COuncil myself and as a Jedi Master I can have people protect you." Anakin said. "Anakin..." Padme said with a little smile. In the morning Anakin was in the Council chambers talking to the memebers of the high council, Master Yoda, Master Windu, Masters Obi Wan, Plo Koon and Andy, looking at him while he spoke. All the other members of the council were listening as well. After Anakin got done explaing of what the Chancellor said to him Master Windu said. "If it is by the Chancellor we will aspect his request." Anakin stood their happiest as he can be he was finally going to be a Jedi Master going to sit along side the great Jedi Masters. What came next Anakin did not except. "You will be on the Council yes, but you will not be a Jedi Master." said Master Windu. "What? How can you be on the Council and not be a master." Said Anaki. "Take a seat young Skywalker." After The Council Meeting Anakin is talking to Obi Wan in the hallways of the Jedi Temple. "What kind of nonsense is this they put me on the council but not make me a Master." Anakin said. "Oh calm down Anakin you have been a great honor to be on the council at your age it's never happened before. The fact is that you are too close to the Chancellor. The council doesn't like it when he entervers with Jedi Affairs."

Anakin: I swear to you I didn't ask to be put on the Jedi Council.

Obi Wan: It’s what you wanted. You're friendship with Palpatine seems to have payed off.

Anakin: He has nothing to do with this.

Obi Wan: The only reason the council approved you're opment was because the Chancellor trusts you.

Anakin: And?

Obi Wan: Anakin i'm on your side I didn't want to put you in this situation.

Anakin: What Situation?

Obi Wan: The council wants to know what the chancellor is up too.

Anakin: They want me to spy on the Chancellor? (Surprised) Why didn't the council give me this assignment when we were in session?

Obi Wan: This assignment is not to be on record.

Anakin: The Chancellor's not a bad man obi Wan his befriended me watched me ever since I arrived here.

Obi Wan: That is why you must help us. The Chancellor has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired.

Anakin: The senate demanded that he stays longer.

Obi Wan: Yes Anakin. But use your feelings something is out of place.

Anakin: You're asking me to do something against the Jedi code against the Republic and a friend. thats whats out of place here. Why are you asking this of me?

Obi Wan: The Council is asking you.

(Scene 3)

(Scene 5) (Obi Wan and Mace Windu Are saying goodbye to yoda before he goes to Kashyyyk)

Obi Wan: Anakin didn't take his new assignment with much gratefulness.

Mace: It’s very dangerous putting them together I don't think Anakin can handle it. I don't trust him.

Obi Wan: With all do respect Master is he not the chosen one? The one destroy the sith and bring balance to the force?

Mace: So The Prophecy says.

Yoda: A Prophecy misread it could have been.

Obi Wan: He will not let me down he never has.

Yoda: I hope right you are.

(Scene 6) (In the middle of meeting with the Chancellor)

Palpatine: I understand your concerns Senator. I assure you that the we will return to democracy.

Padme: You will consider speaking to the Separatist leaders again?

Palpatine: You must trust me to do the right thing Senator. I want this war to end too you know we let go of security again it might bring in another attack. That is why I am here.

Andy: But surely we can.

Palpatine: I said I will do what is right Senator Skywalker. This should be enough of your.. Committee.

Padme: The Delegation of 2,000 thanks you Chancellor.

Palpatine: I thank you for bringing this to my attention Senator.

(Andy looks at Anakin before they leave; They start walking the Chancellor turns to Anakin)

Palpatine: I admire them for coming here but I can tell there's more that they are not telling us.

Anakin: What do you mean?

Palpatine: They are not to be trusted.

Anakin: Surely Andy and Senator Amidala can be trusted.

Palpatine: These are dark times for the Republic Anakin. I can tell Senator Skywalker is hiding something.

Anakin: I’m sure you are mistaken Chancellor.

Palpatine: I am surprised you did not sense anything unusual within Senator Amidala.

Anakin: I didn't sense anything in Senator Amidala.

Palpatine: What about Andy?

Anakin: I do think he is hiding something now that you mention it.

Palpatine: You just don't seem you want to admit it. There is much conflict in you Anakin. (A little dark)

(Scene 7) (A day after the Opera house scene) (Anakin and Obi Wan are saying goodbye to each other) (Next morning)

Anakin: Master i disappointed you. I haven't been very archived about your training I've been selfish and irresponsible and I apologize.

Obi Wan: You are strong and wise Anakin and I am very proud of you; I trained you since you were a small boy I taught you everything I know. But be patient it won't be long till you become a Jedi Master.

(Obi Wan starts to walk away)

Anakin: Obi Wan May the force be with you.

Obi Wan: Don't worry Anakin we will see eachother soon.

(He walks away)

(Scene 8) (The Late Evening) (Anakin is standing outside of Andy’s room he takes a deep breath and enters the room)

Andy: What is it Anakin?

Anakin: I want to know something. Was Hego Damask; Darth Plagueis?

Andy: Yes. I told you dozens of times my Master and I fought Darth Plagueis many years ago.

Anakin: I know I just wanted to make sure he was. I also forgot to mention something. The Chancellor told me at the Opera house.

Andy: What is it?

Anakin: The Chancellor told me a story about Darth Plagueis. He said he can use the force to save others from death.

Andy: That's impossible Anakin. No Jedi or Sith is powerful enough to do such thing.

Anakin: Plagueis was.

Andy: Anakin what did I tell you don't believe a word that the chancellor says.

Anakin: Hear me out on this though. What if someone actually had this power couldn't they save someone who's dying?

Andy: I guess so. (gasp) Anakin before I forget Master Windu wants to see us in the communication chambers.

Anakin: For what?

Andy: I think it’s about Grievous.

(Scene 10) (1 Hour later) (In the communication chambers Anakin and Master Windu are talking to Master Yoda and Ki adi mundi through the hologram then a hologram of Commander Cody appears)

Cody: Master Windu if I may interrupt General Kenobi has made contact with General Grievous and we have begun our attack.

Mace: Thank you Commander…. (Hologram fades away) Anakin go tell the Chancellor that Obi Wan has made Contact with General Grievous. His reaction will give us a clue to his actions.

Anakin: Yes Master.

(Anakin walks out of the room)

Mace: I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi. The dark side of the force surrounds the Chancellor.

Ki Adi Mundi: If he does not give up his emergency powers after the destruction of Grievous then he should be removed from office.

Mace: the Jedi Council will have to take control of the Senate to get a peaceful transition.

Andy: I'm not so sure about this Masters.

Mace: Andy you did say it was a good plan to have Anakin close to the chancellor.

Andy: I changed my mind. Taking control of the Senate will be difficult if the Sith Lord is indeed one of those Senators.

Yoda: Hmm. A dark place this thought will carry us.. Great care we must take.

(Scene 11) (Anakin is talking in the Chancellor's private office, They walk into the hallway)

Palpatine: My mentor taught me even the nature of the Dark Side. (A little Dark)

Anakin: You know the Dark Side?

Palpatine: Anakin if one wants to know everything about the force they must learn all its knowledge. If you want to be a complete and wise leader you must brace a larger view of the force. Be Careful of the Jedi Anakin. Only through me you can gain a power greater than any Jedi. Learn the way of the Dark Side and you will be able to save your wife from certain death.

Anakin: What did you say?

Palpatine: Use my knowledge I beg you.

(Anakin turns on his lightsaber and points it at Palpatine)

Anakin: You're the Sith Lord.

Palpatine: I know what's been troubling you. Don't continue being a pawn of the Jedi Council. Ever since I know you; you wanted more than a ordinary Jedi. Are you going to kill me?

Anakin: I would like too.

Palpatine/Sidious: I know you would. I can feel your anger. It gives you focus makes you stronger.

(Anakin turns off his lightsaber)

Anakin: I am going to turn you over to the Jedi Council.

Palpatine: Of course you should. You're not sure if they will believe you or not.

Anakin: I will quickly discover the truth about all of this.

Palpatine: Learn the power of the Dark Side the power to save Padme.

(Scene 12) (Obi Wan and Grievous are fighting, Obi Wan picks up the electro staff and knocks the gun out of Grievous hand and then He kicks him then Grievous tries to pushes Obi Wan. Grievous throws Obi Wan to the Leg Obi Wan is hanging on while Grievous is about to kill him then Obi Wan uses the force to get the gun; Obi Wan shots the General and he falls to the ground and dies, Obi wan gets back up)

Obi Wan: So uncivilized.

(Scene 13) (In the late evening Andy is in his room, Mace appeared in a hologram. Andy walks over to him)

Andy: What is it master?

Mace: Anakin just came to me. He just said the Chancellor is the Sith Lord.

Andy: Really? I had a hunch that he might be the Sith Lord but I wasn't sure. What should we do?

Mace: Andy I am headed there right now with three Jedi Masters. What I want you to do is to have your old Padawan to help gather every youngling and take them to the room of a thousand fountains. They will be safe there, if an attack is to happen.

Andy: Are you sure certain Master?

Mace: What I recall didn't Clone Trooper Fives say before his death, that the Chancellor placed chips inside every clone to kill a Jedi?

Andy: That's what Rex and Anakin told me. But I didn't believe them. I know Anakin didn't believe either.

Mace: That's why I want you to secure the Temple.

Andy: Of course. Master WIndu where is Anakin? Since he told you about Sidious shouldn't he be helping you. He is the chosen one.

Mace: I sent him to the Council Chambers. I sensed much conflict within him.

Andy: I see. I’ll contact Shira Brie my old Padawan as you request Master.

Mace: Good. We are almost there.

Andy: May the force be with you Master.

Mace: And with you.

(The hologram turns off. Andy pushes a button a hologram of his former Padawan appears)

Andy: Shira it’s me Andy.

Shira: My old Master what do I owe this pleasure?

Andy: I know I haven't been a very good Master with me turning to the Dark Side. I changed you can trust me again. But the reason I connected you is that Master Windu asked me to ask you to gather up all the Younglings to the room of a thousand fountains.

Shira: For what?

Andy: Shria the Chancellor is the Sith Lord. he’s the one who put those chips in the Clones that's why Clone trooper Tup of the 501st killed a Jedi. He’s the one who caused the start Clone Wars.

Shira: Wait so you're saying that the Chancellor can have the Clones kill us?

Andy: Yes. Just get to it we haven't got that much time.

Shira: Yes Master.

Andy: One more thing ask my old friend Tru to help you, I think is in the room right now.

Shira: Of course.

(The hologram turns off) (Scene 14) (Anakin is standing in the Council Chambers looking outside to where Padme’s apartment is, Padme is also standing; she is also looking at where the temple is, In the temple Andy asks Commander Zen to guard his doorway, Andy then senses what Anakin is up to. Anakin lets go of everything he looks away from the window and walks out of the room)

(Scene 15) (Mace and Palpatine are at a Window in the Chancellor's office; Mace Points his lightsaber at him,Anakin walks in) Palpatine: Anakin, I told it would come to this. The Jedi are taking over.

Mace: The Sith will never return you have lost.

Palpatine: No! No! You will die!!!

(Sidious shots force lightning and Mace he blocks it with his lightsaber which the lighting goes back to Palpatine’s face)

Palpatine/Sidious: He’s the traitor!!!! Anakin I have the power to save the one you love. You must chose.

Mace: Don't listen to him Anakin.

Palpatine: Don't let him kill me… I can't hold it any longer. I am too weak. Anakin! Help me!

Mace: I am going to end this once and for all.

Anakin: Master you can't he must stand trial.

Mace: He has control over the senate and the Clone Troopers. He is too dangerous to be left alive.

Palpatine: I'm too weak please don't kill me..

Anakin: It’s not the Jedi way he must live!

(Mace raises his lightsaber up at the ready to kill Sidious)

Palpatine: Please Don't!

Anakin: I need him!! No!!!!!!!!!!!

(Anakin strikes at Mace he bocks Anakin's attack with his lightsaber)

Anakin: What are you doing?

Mace: He’s a traitor to the Republic.

Anakin: Killing a unarmed man is not the Jedi way.. I won’t let you kill him.

(Anakin and Maces lightsabers Clash)

Mace: Come to your senses!!

(Anakin uses the force to grip him he then pushed him across the room he stands up as Anakin walks in)

Mace: So be it.

(They both fight. Mace uses the force at Anakin to make him go back into the Main Chamber)

Mace: Anakin he's manipulating you… Making you betray the Jedi Order. Can’t you see that?

Anakin: I am only seeing a Jedi killing a unarmed man!

(Anakin Strikes at Mace again; Mace blocks his attack)

Mace: The Dark Side has taken you.

(Anakin strikes at Mace)

Mace: And you have failed the Jedi Order!

Anakin: No!! (Dark)

(Mace uses the force to push Anakin at a wall, He turns to Sidious)

Mace: Time to end this once and for all.

Anakin: No!!!!! (Dark)

(Mace is about to go for the kill again but Anakin this time slices Mace’s hand off)

Mace: Ahh!!!!!!!

Sidious: Power!!! unlimited Power!!!

Anakin: What have I done. (surprised of what he just did)

Sidious: You are following your destiny Anakin. Become my apprentice learn to use the dark side of the force.

Anakin: I will do whatever you ask. (Panicky)

Sidious: Good…….

Anakin: Just help me save Padme's life I can't live without her.

Sidious: The cheat of death is a power only one has achieved, but if we can work together we can unlock its secrets.

Anakin: I pledge myself to your teachings.

Sidious: Good…………..(Pause) The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become….. Therefore you shall be known as Darth……..Vader.

Anakin: Thank you my Master.

Sidious: Rise...

(Master Yoda Senses of what happened)
