Chapter Twenty-Two: Betrayal

A/N: prepare yourselves for a long chapter.

Anakin's nightmares finally stopped and even though he was relieved, he knew that only meant one thing...they were going to come true. And soon. Although his dreams had changed drastically. He didn't die anymore. It was Windu and all of the other Jedi and it frightened him a lot. If this happened he would be the only jedi knight able to wield a lightsaber or use the Force. Which would leave the Sith in charge of everything.

Anakin hated thinking about stuff like this. It was so morbid and ruined his mood half the time. People always wondered exactly how Anakin's life was like when he wasn't on missions or something of the other. Well the truth was he never really stopped working.

Anakin used the Force to float an apple into his hand since he didn't feel like standing up to go get it. He let the apple drop into his waiting hands, biting into it and crossing his legs as he watched the movie on the holonet with Ace, Mekhi, Aviana and Alia. Two of them were asleep which left Mekhi and Alia awake.

No one said a word while the movie played and even when it ended, no one said anything. Mekhi just picked another movie and started to play it. Anakin was happy with silence amd he was about to fall asleep when Alia spoke up.

"So how are you and Ace?" Alia asked curiously.

Anakin glanced over at his sleeping boyfriend and smiled. "We're good. Never been better."

Mekhi arched an eybrow and smirked. "Really? So how's your sex life going?"

Alia slapped his arm causing Anakin to chuckle lightly. "Nice one Mek, but you're not getting anything from me. What about yours?"

"No comment." Mekhi stated.

Anakin nodded and smiled smugly, proud that he made him slightly embarrassed. Anakin turned back to the movie, quietly eating his apple and enjoying the screenplay of the horror movie Mekhi had chosen.

A/N: Listen to the song while reading past this Authors note.
Two days later, Anakin was walking through the corridors of the Jedi Temple, heading for the council chambers to discuss the apparent recon mission that he, Aviana and Alia had to do together just the day before all on their own. Without their masters.

And because Anakin had more expierience out in the field than thry did, Aviana and Alia decided to make him the leader. Anakin had decided to just make group decisions--there would be no leader. Just three friends making a decision; Ace, Mekhi and Jett weren't there. They had to meet with one of their old teachers at a private location.

Anakin hated being in charge all the time anyway so it made him feel better to make group decisions. You couldn't really blame him though. It's just something he prefers. Anakin entered the chambers and all talking ceased as he went to stand in the middle of the room.

"Greetings Skywalker." Yoda says.

"Hello master Yoda." Anakin responded. "I understand you wanted to discuss the recon mission from the other day." It wasn't a question though.

Windu stepped forward, crossing his arms. "You did well for your first recon mission alone and as leader--"

"Actually," Anakin interrupted. "It was a team effort, sir. We made group decisions to make the mission successful, Master Windu."

"Was it now?" Padmè says. "You still did well, Anakin."

Anakin smiled. "Thank you."

Master Windu stroked his chin and eyed him thoughtfully. "Where's Obi Wan?"

Anakin shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't seen him since the day I left for the recon mission." He paused before adding, "I thought he'd be here today."

Yoda suddenly clutched his side, moaning and grumbling. Anakin and Windu started forward but Yoda told them to stay where they were. Anakin watched Yoda cautiously but curiously.

"So much pain and suffering, jealousy and hatred. So much DEATH." Yoda said in his riddle sounding voice.

"What? What's going on?" Anakin demanded.

Yoda didn't need to respond though; he felt it too. Probably stronger than Yoda but it was there. Jedi were dying. People were dying and the Force was sending out shockwaves to other jedi as others were murdered. Who was killing the Jedi, Anakin didn't know but he was definitely going to find out one way or another.

Anakin's head snapped up as the council chamber doors were blown off its hinges and Anakin dropped down onto his stomach, one of the doors narrowly missing him by inches. Anakin climbed back to his feet and stared at the army of droids and one man standing in front of them. Anakin also noticed that there were clones there.

"Obi Wan what the hell are you doing?!" Anakin yelled.

Obi Wan just glared at him and entered the room using the Force to throw Anakin backwards into the wall. He struck head first and bright lights exploded behind his eyes as he fell to the floor.

"Stay out of this, Anakin." Obi Wan ordered.

Anakin groaned and struggled to push himself to his feet but he couldn't so he watched as Obi Wan strode towards the council and pulled his lightsaber aiming it at Windu. He was horrified at what he was seeing. Is this what his dreams were about?

"This war is going to end, Windu." Obi Wan growled. "I'm going to get the one I most desire and no stupid jedi rule is going to stop me. And not only that but I will end this war and bring the peace back."

Anakin knew the one Obi Wan most desired was him and it made him wonder...is this his fault? Windu glanced over at him as if he knew what he was thinking.

"The one you most desire is Anakin?" Windu laughed. "He's too young for you Kinobi! And you know it!"

"You're laughing now but I'm the one with the upperhand here." Obi Wan snarled. "And you won't be laughing anymore."

Anakin watched in a terrified trance as Obi Wan swung his lightsaber in an upwards arc towards Windu's torso and jammed the saber deep into his chest. Anakin screamed as Windu gasped and he jumped to his feet ignoring the pain in his body as he stepped forward. Obi Wan reached out towards Anakin and sent him flying back against a pillar this time. He fell and didn't move for a few seconds as pain wove its way through his body.

Anakin watched as Obi Wan killed everyone in the council chambers except for Yoda and Padmè. As he advanced on Padmè, Yoda intervened and then someone was pulling on his arm, trying to get him up. Anakin looked up and saw Ace trying to get him to his feet. Once he was on his feet, Ace led him out of the chambers by way of secret passage. Anakin got one last look at Padmè as she was struck down and the last thing Anakin heard her say was,

"Save the children."

Anakin and Ace sprinted down the hallway, not caring if they drew attention to themselves. Obi Wan wasn't going to kill him but he would kill Ace and Anakin would never let that happen. He'd rather die in his place if it ever came to that.

Anakin rounded a corner way too fast and ran smack dab into a clone trooper and a few droids. Anakin backpedaled fast as they whirled around to look at him. He pulled his lighsaber and cut down the droids that were there. He hesitated on the clone because they had just been working together to stop evil just the day before and now everything had gone to shit.

Ace pulled his blaster and shot the clone himself. "Who you once knew isn't there anymore."

There was a muffled blast as the tower shook and they both started at a staggering run down the hall as the tower tilted to on its side. Anakin stopped running and saw that the tower was going to hit another and his eyes widened. He didn't have time to react before the tower crashed into the one next to it, sending Anakin flying against one of the windows that cracked.

Anakin groaned and took in a shuddering breath as he rolled onto his his hands a feet. He found himself staring down at the ground bellow, more than eleven stories up and he slowly and carefully stood up as the glass began to spiderweb and splinter.

"Anakin!" Ace yelled.

Anakin looked up and saw Ace standing by a door at the end of the hallway. He glanced back down at the splintering glass underneath his feet, taking a cautious step forward; the glass cracked more. Anakin inhaled and exhaled two times before he took another step forward. He was kind of shuffling forward slowly and cautiously, not wanting the glass to break.

"You're almost here, Ani. Come on!" Ace encouraged.

Anakin took another step and the glass made a loud crack! sound and the glass shattered underneath his feet. There was one second to look at Ace and in the second he saw horror in his eyes.

And then he was falling.
