Anakin had little time to waste with these crafty pirates, but as he tried to formulate
an escape plan, he heard the overwhelming sound of Republic low altitude assault transports,
and their Separatist counterparts. The guards stationed outside Anakin’s cell ventured
to investigate, and they had left Anakin’s lightsaber by mistake. Lifting it into the
air with the Force, Anakin cut off the mechanism beside the door and stepped out, stealthily
making his path through the network of corridors to the entrance. The Jedi knight held his
blade to the throat of Hondo, and the pirate allowed him to go, as he focused upon protecting
his base. Anakin leapt into the air, landing on top of a Republic gunship, which had been
one of many to receive the signal transmitted by Anakin’s trustworthy droid R2-D2, and
the Council had been quick to send help. The Jedi then elevated himself to a single droid
aerial platform, and hitch a ride to the Separatist cruiser, descending from the atmosphere. Anakin
found that the Force was flowing through him, and all of the droids that dared to cross
his path turned into scrap, as he finally saw Dooku. The hooded Sith apprentice guided
Anakin to a large room, and he saw Padme, Luke, Leia and Obi-Wan all in Force fields,
suspended and looking lifeless. The Jedi gauged the opponents marching at him, and they were
increasing to quickly for his liking, as Grievous began to lead a group of Magnaguards down
one corridor. Anakin reacted instinctively, hurling his lightsaber to the controls of
Obi-Wan’s chamber, and the Jedi collapsed out onto the floor. Summoning his lightasbr
from Grievous’ collection, he assisted his apprentice in taking out the troubling Magnaguards,
before they realised Dooku and Grievous had elevated themselves onto the upper floor.
Dooku applauded the efforts of the Jedi, but he was soon cut off by the sound of a set
of eerie footsteps. Palpatine entered from a previously uncovered room, and pretended
to be under the capture of his apprentice, but before Anakin could mount a rescue, Obi-Wan
held him back, as he began to remember what had happened after his capture on the planet
of Yerbana. The Jedi master had been brought back to Dooku’s personal ship, and he overheard
a conversation between the apprentice and Sidious, ordering for the capture of everyone
close to Anakin, also realising that this was the mysterious Sith Lord they had been
searching for. Anakin looked up at his mentor Palpatine in disbelief, but the kind demeanour
the Supreme Chancellor had always equipped, had been replaced by a darkness that shook
the Jedi. Palpatine extended his fingertips at the Jedi, and Obi-Wan yelled at Anakin
to roll away, before the lightning could strike then both, and the Jedi master cleverly used
Grievous to shield the attacks of the dark Lord of the Sith. Sidious had little use for
Grievous now, and saved the energy of the Jedi by obliterating through his creation
with his lightsabers. Dooku knew he would suffer the same fate, and scampered out of
the room, and to an even higher level to evade the fury of his master, observing the Jedi
trying to defeat him. Sidious lunged at Obi-Wan with all the power that the dark side held,
and the Jedi master still felt the effect of his time in containment, struggling to
the floor. The Sith Lord, proclaimed to Anakin that this power would be able to protect Padme
and her children for eternity, but Obi-Wan accused him of lies. The Jedi had to choose
his path, and he picked up a fallen electrostaff, then
threw it at the combatants, striking Palpatine. The Supreme Chancellor was left stunned, and
arrested by incoming Republic clone troopers, but from above Dooku floated to the Jedi.
The Separatist leader was about to land on the floor to duel them both, when he is Force
pushed by Grandmaster Yoda, and also collected by the Republic clone troopers. Anakin quickly
goes to free Padme, Luke and Leia, as well as receiving his own transmission from Captain
Rex, asking for his presence aboard a Republic cruiser. Keeping an eye on the condition of
those had rescued, he and Obi-Wan are shocked to see his old padawan Ahsoka Tano, requesting
their help in dealing with the renegade Sith Maul on the planet of Mandalore. As the Sith
had been defeated, Anakin goes to the Outer Rim planet with the 501st Legion, whilst his
master sorted out the political matter of a captured Chancellor, and Anakin’s trial.
The Jedi master is adamant that Anakin’s love for Padme and her children had swayed
Anakin to the path of the light, and in the end, it is the testimony of Dooku which helped
not only to preserve Anakin’s status as a Jedi, but promoted him to the rank of a
Jedi master. As Anakin continued his journey on his cruiser, he looked at Padme and his
children, and felt that he was at last at peace.
