CHAPTER 2: Suspicion
Master Yoda watched the battle unfold as his clone troopers with the combined might of the native Wookies, easily repelled the droid armies of the Separatist movement. Usually Yoda’s focus was on the battle, but there was something off putting.
Yoda calmed his mind and reached out through the force, sensing two large presences. One was obviously the dark side, it’s wicked intent nearly made Yoda ill, but the other was pure, and filled with serenity. Yoda felt the dark presence growing weaker and weaker until it violently died out, screaming throughout the force. It could be only one thing, Yoda thought.
“Commander,” Yoda spoke to the nearest clone. “Make contact with the Jedi council, you must do immediately.
“Right away sir,” the clone said, nodding to his subordinate, who actually made the call.
Yoda stood in patience as a hologram of Mace Windu appeared before him, alongside him was Anakin Skywalker, but no one else. Master Windu was breathing heavier than normally, and looked a bit shaken. Although it may have been the hologram that did this, Yoda also noticed a change in Anakin. He seemed much calmer and collected than usual, especially with Mace around.
“Master Windu, where are the others?” Yoda asked.
“They were killed by the Sith Lord.”
“Sith Lord you say? Hmm, and where was this Sith Lord hiding?”
“Here on Coruscant,” Anakin answered. “It was Chancellor Palpatine all along.”
“Discovered this, you did, Anakin?” Yoda asked.
Anakin paused for a moment. It was very rare for Yoda to use his first name, and it made him feel somewhat at ease.
“Yes, I did. The chancellor was trying to turn me to the dark side, I managed to see through his lies thanks to your wisdom Master Yoda.”
“Defeated the Sith, my wisdom could not,” Yoda replied.
“Master Yoda, your instructions on letting go and putting the good ahead of myself aided in my decision. I apologize for even considering his offer.”
“Considered, yes, but chosen not it was. A meeting, the Jedi Council must have. Although the Sith is destroyed, the Separatist forces will still continue the conflict.”
“I agree,” Master Windu chimed in. “Once you are finished at Kashyyyk, return to the Council Chambers where the rest of us will be waiting.”
“May the force be with you,” Yoda said as his transmission faded out.
“Anakin, would you contact the other council members? I need to rest for a few moments and regain all of my strength.”
“Yes Master” Anakin said immediately and obediently.
Mace shook his head in awe. Anakin had never been so calm and submissive before. Perhaps destroying the Sith had more of an impact than expected. Either way, there was something different about Anakin. For once, he had earned the respect of Mace Windu.
After nearly a week of waiting, the remaining members of the Jedi Council had finally convened, minus Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin and Anakin. The council asked Anakin to wait outside, which bothered him, but not like it used to. In fact, there were several things Anakin normally would be irritated about, but now they seemed to matter less.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin’s long time friend and mentor emerged from the council chamber with a smile. He had just returned from Utapau where he and his clones managed to destroy General Grievous. With Dooku, Grievous, and now Sidious out of the picture, the Separatist leaders would soon crumble.
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan said, signaling for the youth to enter the Council Chamber.
Anakin came inside, nodding to the various members of the council. Master Yoda, Master Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon, Shaak Ti, Even Piell, Oppo Rancis and of course, Obi-Wan.
Anakin bowed to them all, and began to take his seat, but was immediately halted by Mace. He and the rest of the Council stood, igniting their light sabers as Yoda came forward. Anakin immediately knelt before Yoda, who rested the humming blade inches above Anakin’s left shoulder.
“Anakin Skywalker, a powerful Jedi Knight you have become. By destroying the Sith, balance to the force you have returned. We, the Jedi council hereby dub you Jedi Master.”
Anakin busted out in a joyous laughter, but quickly recovered himself. Yoda chuckled to himself at Anakin’s excitement. The Council put their light sabers away and bowed to Anakin in unison, who was already bowing. Anakin sat in his chair, exchanging nods with Obi-Wan.
I told you I’d make you proud Obi-Wan.
“This is a dangerous time for the Jedi,” Master Windu began. “With the Chancellor dead both the senate and separatists could easily fall apart. We must watch the senate carefully, for I am sure Palpatine’s influence extends greater than we know.”
“But who will not be corrupted? Shaak Ti asked.
“What about Senator Amidala?” Obi-Wan asked. “She’s more than capable as a leader.”
“No,” Anakin said, much to Obi-Wan’s surprise as well as the rest of the councils. “She is still lacking in the experience for this type of position. I think we and the Republic need Senator Organa.”
“Bail Organa?” Ki-Adi-Mundi asked. “From Alderaan?”
“Yes. He’s a good man, an honest man, and I think he’s our best chance of peacefully capturing the separatists.”
Yoda awaited patiently as the rest of the council members discussed the issue. He looked around to the various members, and much to his surprise, Anakin was the only one who was looking toward him.
“Master Yoda, what do you think?” Anakin asked.
“Agree with Master Skywalker, I do. Long time have I known Bail Organa, a for long time has he wanted a peaceful republic. Convince him to run, we must.”
“Then what is to become of the Senate?” Obi-Wan asked.
“We may have to temporarily take control of the Senate,” Mace said.
“Dangerous that is,” Yoda warned. “Harm our reputations, this might.”
“I think we should make a statement,” Anakin said. “The rumors are bound to circle throughout the planet, and it won’t be long before Palpatine’s silent partners begin to accuse us of treason.”
“I agree,” Mace said. “If we wish for the war to end, and peacefully, the people must have faith in the Jedi. Anakin, you were one of the Chancellor’s closest allies, I think you should speak on our behalf.”
“He’s right Anakin,” Obi-Wan agreed. “Most of the senators have seen you, or met you when dealing with the Chancellor.
“I am willing to, but not alone,” Anakin said, turning to Yoda. “Master, you should speak with me. All of the senators know of your reputation, and your wisdom. If they won’t believe me I’m sure they would believe you.”
“Agree to this, I do. Tomorrow the senate meets, and tomorrow the Jedi will speak before them. Adjourned, this meeting is.”

chapter 3 when the names are in all caps it means that they're thinking
Attack
On Corucsant in an old hangar bay four dark figures stand contemplating their plan of vengeance...
Revan; Master, we are the most powerful of the Sith.
Ragnos; Fear not Lord Revan. We are abiding by the old code that we know best. Where the Sith were the dominants and the Jedi all but extinct.
Hord; That fool Bane destroyed the line of Sith...but we shall rule again, and now is the time to move.
Kun; Move where Master Hord? Why?
Ragnos; You and Revan are going to pay a visit to the Jedi Temple with the help of our accomplices and pay them back for they're treachery.
Revan and Kun; Yes Master Ragnos.
With Yoda and Kenobi paired with their apprentices away on a negotiation mission on Mygeeto, The Sith strike...
Inside the Temple the Jedi were attending to they're supper when...they heard a crashing noise at the front of the temple...
A little youngling saw this first hand and saw two sinister figures followed by some Huks and Aqualish.
When Revan saw this little youngling wielding a lightsaber he laughed. He laughed as he crushed the youngling with the force. The Sith sent they're little battalion to the innermost parts of the temple.
The Jedi Council with the exception of Yoda and Kenobi arrived just in time to see the youngling perish...
Jedi Masters Pablo Jill and Plo Koon address the intruders...
Koon; I don't know who you are but on behalf of the Republic you are under arrest and call off your men.
The Sith Lords laughed at this as they somersaulted forward lightsabers in hand instantly killing three of the council members.
Jill; If you won't surrender, than you force us to go into aggressive negotiations.
Koon and Jill send the other council members to defend the others from the battalion, ignite they're lightsabers, and charge forward.
The Sith were surprised at the behaviour of the Jedi. They seemed rather powerful and aggressive for simple Jedi. The Sith used the force to bring the Jedi up before them. Revan removed Koon's rebreather while Kun slowly cut Jill's limbs from his body.
Revan; Oh. You want this don't you? He ramarked as he held Koon's rebreather before him.
Revan; Let me help you. He then put his lightsaber up to Koon's chest and ignited it.
Kun; Does that hurt? He snickered as he finally ended Jill's misery.
They then decided to leave the rest to the battalion as they walked out onto the steps of the Temple entrance...but then they saw a tall spindly droidish looking figure wielding four lightsabers.
Grievous; Going somewhere?
Kun; If you wish to die...very well!
Kun and Revan the charge forward but surprisingly the Figure manages to block all the attacks.
REVAN; What has happened?! Me and Kun had a problem defeating two simple Jedi and now we can't even defeat this foolish droid!
KUN; This droid is making a fool out of me! I must defeat him!
Kun; Die droid!
GRIEVOUS; Finally all those years of training from Master Yoda and Master Kenobi is paying off, but...if I stay here I will surely die. I must go warn Yoda and Kenobi! Grievous then jumped away from the Sith...
Grievous; Forgive me, but I have more important matters to attend to.
Kun angered by this decides to give chase but Revan calms him down...
Revan; Ragnos and Hord must never know that we couldn't defeat a simple droid.
Kun; Agreed.
The two embarrassed Sith Lords go back to thier lair and report almost everything...
Ragnos; Good the Jedi are all but extinct and all we have to do is kill Yoda and Kenobi. But first....we have other buisiness right now.
Kun; What shall we do?
Revan; Yes. What will you have us do Master?
These were the final words they spoke before they're heads were separated from they're bodies.
Hord; Weak fools.
Ragnos; They served they're purpose. Now... we execute the final phase of our plan...
Unholy Terror
chapter 4 nmaes in all caps means they're thinking
The dark side..
After finally settling things on Mygeeto The four Jedi return to Coruscant only to find destruction, death, and the dismembered bodies of Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Pablo Jill
Kalzar; What happened?!
Luke; This is horrible!
Kenobi; They're all dead. All the younglings, the Council and librarians.
Kalzar; How did they manage to dismamber Master Jill?
Yoda; Killed by lightsabers these Jedi were.
The four Jedi then hear a clanking noise and turn around sabers ignited to find Grievous...
Luke; What happened here?
Grievous; Two men with a battalion marched in here and...now they're all dead.
Yoda; These two men you speak of...Sith Lords were they.
Kenobi; Sith Lords? But...
Yoda; Resurrected they have been.
Luke; Look a holocron...
The Jedi activate the Holocron to find a message from the ancient Sith Lord Marka Ragnos; Hello, Jedi some of you may know my name but for the two apprentices...I am the great Marka Ragnos. So sorry if we made a mess at your humble abode. But...besides that I challenge you, the remaining Jedi to a duel....a duel that will prove once and for all that the dark side is more powerful. Wait there in your pitiful little temple for me and my apprentice and when we arrive the duel begins.
Kalzar; Well....I guess we wait.
Grievous; All we can do is wait.
Kenobi; How will we fight them Master Yoda?
Yoda; I fear that powerful enough we are not to face Ragnos but nonetheless Master Kenobi...you, Master Grievous, and I shall face Ragnos and Luke and Kalzar....the apprentice...
The Finale coming soon to a page near you.
Ragnos looked over his planet from his castle when 2 people walked into the room. Ragnos sensed something but the to beings looked at each other, noded and shot a huge force push at Marka. Ragnos flew out the window and hit the ground lightly. The two people jumped down.
Revan ignited his lightsaber and charged Ragnos with Exar right behind him. Ragnos took out his sith blade and blocked Revan. Marka jumped back to avoid Exars slash and force pushed Kun back.
Ragnos shot red lightning. the bolts were straight. Reven tryed to block, but Ragnos moved his fingers to twist the lightning and hit Revan. Revan flew back and lost consciousness.
Exar charged Ragnos. Ragnos parried Exar with ease. He did have the force, did he not? Then Ragnos's fist was red and he hit Kun right in the gut. Kun flew through the air and felt like Revan did when he was hit by lightning. Exar was losing himself to the pain. When he saw Revan get up he lost consciousness.
Revan attacked Ragnos with all the force lightning he had in him. Ragnos blocked and countered with his red lightning. Revan fell in pain as he was hit by ragnos's lightning. One moment later he felt a sword go through his head and he died.
Exar stood up to see a red foot hit him and a sword stab him. Rude awakening.
Ragnos looked on the dead bodies and laughed.
What do you think. Its my first story.
I gave Ragnos a few attacks i thought he'd have
