Welcome back to part number 2 of what if Padme divorced Anakin. Thank you for your support
on part 1! If you are not aware of the first part, please watch that before watching this
video. The link will be in the description below.
As Sidious continued to watch the Mon Calamari ballet performance, he was surprised to be
interrupted by Mas Amedda, reporting that the clones had lost all lines of communication
with Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi. A devilish grin formed across his face, and he left the
Opera House and entered his personal ship. Venturing past the unsuspecting clone troopers,
he entered the underworld of Coruscant, and searched for the Force presence of Obi-Wan
Kenobi. The Sith Lord soon saw the starfighter of the Jedi master on level 1325, and parked
his ship behind some containers, in the shadows of the warehouse before venturing inside.
With his hood above his head, Sidious moved in a flash, darting from the roof to the walls,
and saw a lone clone trooper talking to Master Kenobi. The Sith Lord sensed danger and pulled
the clone towards him with the Force, and threw him out to fall down into the depths
of the underworld. Walking slowly to the Jedi master, Sidious cackled at Kenobi’s feeble
attempts to look underneath his hood, deactivating the ray shield with the use of the Force,
and torturing him with Sith lightning before he could raise his blade. Despite some initial
resistance, Obi-Wan fell to the floor, his robes singed from head to toe. Sidious ordered
some of his personal guard to place Obi-Wan in a carbonite freezing chamber, before returning
to his office. Back in the Jedi Temple, the Council are at a lost to explain the disappearance
of Anakin Skywalker. Having discovered he had mysteriously departed from the planet,
they accept an incoming transmission from Commander Cody, reporting that Obi-Wan had
also vanished. The Council leapt to their feet, unaware that Obi-Wan was currently beneath
their feet. The entire Council go to search for the missing Jedi, as the situation was
critical. The Jedi spread their forces, as Palpatine watched the chaos with a laugh from
his office. Once more, the Sith Lord summoned the holographic figure of Dooku, and the apprentice
had arrived on Scipio to ensure Clovis was placed at the head of the Banking Clan. Sidious
reports his acquisition of Obi-Wan, and tells his apprentice that the frozen Jedi was going
to his home planet, then orders him to capture Senator Amidala. On the planet of Scipio,
Dooku hovers in his solar sailor towards the office of Rush Clovis, finding Palpatine’s
task had already been done for him. The Senator was holding a blaster to Senator Amidala’s
head, as he gestured to Dooku’s ship. The Sith Lord calmly entered the office through
its open window, and thanked Clovis for his efforts, then dragged Padme into the welcome
arms of the small contingent of Separatist forces. As they were about to leave the planet
however, the Jedi had sent a battalion of clone troopers in case Anakin had gone to
Scipio, and they had conveniently arrived to block the Sith Lord. Led by Plo Koon and
his Wolfpack, the Kel’Dor master placed a tracking beacon on Dooku’s ship as it
vanished, before helping to clear the Separatist army. After the dust had settled, Plo Koon
flew back to his cruiser, and waited the signal of the beacon, until it eventually flashed.
Some of the Jedi who had been scouring Coruscant return to the Temple, and find Dooku had returned
to his home planet, likely having possession of the Jedi and Padme. As it was heavily guarded
by the Separatist army, Mace Windu elects himself and Yoda to guide the Republic forces,
whilst the others protected Coruscant from any surprise attacks. The Jedi also go Palpatine’s
office before departing, and the Chancellor is surprised that Dooku was found so easily,
and warns them it could be a trap, asking for more clone reinforcements. Once the Jedi
had left however, this was the opportunity that Sidious had been waiting for, and congratulated
Dooku. But as soon as Dooku’s hologram appeared before him, Sidious sensed treachery, choking
his apprentice from across the galaxy. Asking his guards to prepare his ship, Sidious zoomed
off into hyperspace, and swiftly descended by Dooku’s castle. The apprentice walked
and bowed to his master, but Sidious swiped into one side, and Dooku’s head crunched
against a pillar. Staggering to his feet, he watched Sidious walk towards the carbonite
models of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, but was thrown back by a Sith lightning attack.
Sidious branded his apprentice a traitor for taking Skywalker, and hiding it from him,
as he sought to become the Sith master. Leaving Dooku on the floor, Sidious brought Anakin
out of his slumber, and through his limited vision, he saw his friend Palpatine, telling
him to get out and run away. Dooku fell for Palpatine’s lure, as he began throwing large
stones towards them, before he noticed that Obi-Wan had been left behind. The Jedi master
was his only hope, if he were to defeat his master.
