Anakins POV
"Trust me Obi-Wan!" I pulled him away from the other separatist leaders. We were leaving the conference room and I finally knew who the traitor was. It was hard to believe, it even hurt me. But it was worse than I imagined and we needed to get back to Coruscant now. The hologram of a hooded man by the name of Sidious was at the center of the table and although his face remained unseen. I knew that voice. I'd know that voice anywhere. We'd been here a full three weeks. It wasn't as long as I expected to be here but I'm glad we can finally go.

"Anakin you can't be serious," He argued with me as I tried to pull him out of the building. "It's difficult enough to believe the traitor is a senator but to be the Chancellor?"

"I know but I know it's him Obi-Wan." I stopped him in the middle of the hallway so I could look him in the eyes, "You trust me right?"

After a moment he nodded slowly, "Of course."

"Then trust that I know I'm right, that was him." I pointed toward the end of the hall where we just came from. "I'm willing to bet my life on it."

He sighed, "I believe you but I'm worried, how are we gonna be able to prove it's him. He is the chancellor."

"I have a plan but we need to go, now. Don't forget that Padme, (y/n), and Satine are in the same building as him right now." At the mention of Satine I knew I had his full attention.

We snuck out of the building, avoiding all security detail who might question our actions and made our way to the ship we had hidden for our departure.

(y/n)'s POV
As I landed the ship down near the location sent to me by the Chancellor, I watched as another ship left. That better not have been Grievous. I closed my eyes and felt around in the force. No. He was still here. This was it, I was going to get my revenge.

I put on a cloak and covered myself with the hood. I walked up to the building and there were guards standing at the entrance. "Stop, who are you?" One of them held a hand out to keep me from moving any further. With a wave of my hand I shoved them both back against the wall and they fell unconscious to the floor.

I stepped inside and I let the rage take over. I know I shouldn't have but like Dooku always taught me, rage made you stronger. And that's what I needed to be if I was going to win.

I made my way through the hallway, keeping my head down. I didn't want him to know I was here until it was too late and he couldn't run like the coward he was.

Separatists were walking along by me going in different directions, oblivious to who I was. I could kill them too.. but I decided against it, I didn't want to go that far and lose myself.

They weren't why I was here.

I came across tall double doors and I knew he was behind them. I used the force to shove them open. There was an oval shaped table with about ten separatists around them and at the very end of the table, directly across from where I was standing was him.

"How dare you disturb a private meeting. Get out!" Grievous snapped and I let out a dark chuckle.

"No," I took the hood off so he could see my face, "I don't think I will."

"General (y/l/n)." He growled and slammed his fists against the table.

"If you don't wish to die," I let my eyes scan the people around the table, "I'd leave if I were you." I threatened with venom in my voice. They all looked at me with fear then to Grievous before they stood up and rushed past me out of the room. Grievous and I kept our eyes on each other the whole time. A few droids came into view but he held his hand up to them to stop them. He wanted me all to himself.

"It appears you're the one with a death wish." He snapped and looked at me filled with hatred, "Coming behind enemy lines, what must your precious council think of this."

I jumped on top of the table and slowly walked towards him as I kept my hands near my belt where my weapons were. "This is purely personal."  I seethed, getting more and more angry by his presence. "You took everything from me." I almost cried but I held in the tears and allowed my hate to replace my sadness.

(General Grievous by Samuel Kim cover 🎼)
He dropped his cloak and his extra arms popped out with a lightsaber in each one, "I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I've been waiting for us to finish our little match from Kamino." He began to cough uncontrollably and I let out a chuckle at the damage I've caused him. He growled when he saw my amusement, "Idiot girl, your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection."

I dropped my cloak as well, "Don't be so sure that you're going to win." I used the force to pull both of my lightsabers to my hands and ignited them. He jumped onto the table and came rushing to me. I jumped off to the side to avoid him and decapitated the droids in the room so I wouldn't have to worry about them.

He jumped to the floor next to me and we began a heated battle with our sabers clashing with each other's. A mixture of blue, green, and white sparks filled the air around us. He pushed me onto the table and before he could bring his weapons down on me, I rolled over quickly causing him to slice through the wooden table.  I got up quickly and brought one of my weapons down and cut off one of his arms. He roared from the cut and smacked me with one of his other metallic hands and I flew across the room from the impact and groaned when I hit the floor.

He came rushing to me and I used the force to push him away and he landed outside of the double doors and into the hallway. I got up and advanced to him. He stood up and was running away from me, "Don't run you coward!" I screamed causing him to stop In the middle of the hallway. He slowly turned to me with the three arms he had left and began to spin them the way he did at Kamino. Burn marks appearing on the carpet under him. I pointed one of my weapons towards him, "Only one of us is leaving here alive."

"It's a pity I won't be able to attend your funeral." He coughed and ran to me, catching me slightly off guard. I deflected his attack but I was pushed onto my knees and was struggling. His snake like eyes were burning into mine through the sparks of our weapons. "I heard about Skywalker and Kenobi, what a shame. I only wished it was by my own hands." He was trying to push me over the edge and it was working.

I slowly started to stand on my feet and pushed him back with the sudden rush of adrenaline I had, "Don't ever say their names!" I yelled and shoved him forward with my own strength and the strength of the force. He fell backwards but caught himself from landing on his back.

"They were weak," He began and I felt myself becoming more furious, "They deserved to die." He spat.

I dropped my weapons to the floor. I could feel the force around me darken in my fury. I could hear him laughing at my reaction. But his laughter was quickly cut short with the raise of my hand.

He was hovering above the floor. "The only one who deserves to die, is you." I squeezed my hand shut tightly and he started to scream in his robotic voice. I was crushing him just as I should have on Hoth. His chest plate began to crumble more and sparks were flying off of him. I raised my other hand and used that one to grip him and I pulled my arms apart causing him to split into two. One last mechanic scream was heard and I dropped the pile of parts to the floor.

With no regret and no remorse.

I pushed the darkness away from me. I was done, I had my revenge. I didn't want to be consumed by the darkness again, Anakin wouldn't have wanted that. His memory alone was enough to keep me holding onto the light.

Anakin's POV
"It's so good to see your actual face Obi-Wan. I was getting real tired of looking at the other one." I chuckled as he walked out of the medical ward. We both had cloaks on so no one could see our faces. "Before we go back to see the council, there's one stop I want to make."

"Anakin-" he began to argue but I cut him off.

"They already know our suspicions. They already know my plan, they also said not to act on it yet until they feel the time is right. Don't tell me you don't want to go see Satine." I lifted my brow at him. The council took some convincing when I told them who the traitor was, but they eventually believed me. Thanks to Obi-Wan having my back. But since it is the Chancellor we needed to be cautious.

He sighed, "I do I'm just worried about how she's going to react." He rubbed his temples, "She scares me."

I wanted to laugh but I felt the same thing as him, "And (y/n) scares me too but we have to let them know we're alive sooner or later." I grabbed his arm and led him to the speeder as we kept our heads down. I was terrified to see her, I didn't know if she'd forgive me. But I really needed to see her. I missed her so damn much.

We arrived to Padmé's apartment and she was alone on the couch with a wine bottle in front of her. She hadn't looked up at us when we entered, she looked lost in thought, "Padme." I called her name to get her attention, but it was low enough to not let anyone else who may be in the apartment hear me.

Her head snapped up and she looked at me with a mix of many emotions, "You figured it out already?" She asked with a bit of a slur in her voice, of course she was drunk.

We nodded and before anything else could be said there was the sound of footsteps behind us. I turned around, worried to see my wife but it ended up being Satine and she did not look happy.

"Satin-" Obi-Wan was cut off with a slap to the face. Oh that looked like it hu-

My own thoughts were cut off when I received a similar slap from her. I put my hand to my cheek where it was stinging.

"How dare you both." She spat shifting her eyes between both Obi-Wan and I.

"I may have told her a few hours ago." Padme shrugged.

"Satine listen to me." Obi-Wan pleaded to her but she turned to walk away from him and he followed anxiously behind her into another room.

I walked to Padme and grabbed the bottle from her and sat on the couch next to her. "Enough, where is (y/n)?" I asked her and she shrugged again.

"Gone."

I narrowed my eyes at her, "What do you mean gone."

"I don't know where she is Anakin," She responded in an annoyed tone, "She was here one second then she left the next, probably off on a damn suicide mission." She yanked the bottle back from me.

"Padmé how could you let her leave, I told you to keep an eye on her." I almost snapped which was a huge mistake because the glare I got from her was enough to kill.

(Some curse words because drunk Padme does not hold back)
"You weren't here!" She snapped, "I laid with her every night while she cried and had her nightmares." She stood up so she could tower over me, anger in her eyes, "I sat by her in the damn hospital while she fought for her life cause I'm sorry to tell you Anakin fucking Skywalker but your plan to ditch her in a pod was absolute shit. She was stuck for THREE DAYS! ALONE!" She was shouting now and I completely deserved it. My chest ached at the information she was giving me. I didn't know she would become stuck like that or else I never would have agreed. My heart sank at the thought of her alone, she could have died and it would've been all my fault, tears were forming in my eyes. "And the whole time she was in pain I felt like a shit friend for keeping the truth from her all because you asked me to. I even saved her from killing herself last night! So don't you dare come to me and make me feel like I didn't do enough because I did everything you asked me to do and it was not easy." Her voice cracked as she finished. I couldn't speak, I didn't know what to say. I knew it would cause (y/n) pain but.. enough to make her want to kill herself never once crossed my mind. And to put Padme through that...

I stared to cry. I was a terrible person. I never should have agreed to that plan or I at least should have told her. I was so selfish.  I felt Padme hug me as she sighed and I continued to cry into her shoulder. "She's not going to forgive me is she?" I asked through my tears.

"I don't know." She answered honestly.

We were interrupted by my comlink going off, it was the council requesting us. Obi-Wan got the same message, he walked out to the living room with red eyes. "We should go." He spoke softly avoiding eye contact with us. I nodded and wiped my tears away.

I was more afraid then before to face her. I had to make her see that what I did was to protect her. It would probably take a lot of time but i had to believe she would eventually forgive me. That's why I had her recite her vows to me the night before I left. It was my way of telling her that I would come back and my way of asking her to forgive me, she just didn't know it yet.

We reached the temple and we were silent most of the time. I had no idea how Obi-Wans talk with Satine went but I could tell it wasn't good. Before we reached the council chambers I stopped him, "Are you okay?"

He nodded, "I will be. I just need to talk to her more." He sighed before pushing door open. We both stopped in our tracks. Staring with wide eyes at the dismembered body of Grievous laying on the floor in the council chambers. The person standing in front of it turned around and shock filled her features when her eyes landed on us. It was her, my heart began to beat rapidly by the sight of my wife's beautiful face.

She barely moved, I saw multiple emotions cross her face, confusion, longing, disbelief, shock, relief, and then rage.
