Horrible dreams have been tormenting Anakin Skywalker for several days. When did it start?
Probably, it was the day when the turmoil on Coruscant began.
Is it because the Sith Lord Darth Sidious has taken control of the highest level of power in the Republic? If this is the case, should he be like the radicals of the Jedi Order and prepare to fight to the end?
Anakin Skywalker sat on the edge of the bed, calmed down his messy mood, then straightened his clothes and walked out.
When he walked out of the room, all the Jedi he saw along the way looked at him strangely, either with hostility or doubt. But Anakin Skywalker didn't pay attention. He was used to these looks.
In fact, even if these recent events had not happened, as the protagonist of the rumor of the Chosen One and the person who Master Qui-Gon Jinn insisted on being admitted into the Jedi Order, Anakin Skywalker had been looking at him like this since he was a child.
Pass.
Now the Jedi Order is still confronting the clone army of the Galactic Republic. The Jedi led by Shaak-Ti rejected the previous motion of Speaker Sheev Palpatine and refused to open their library. Therefore, the Galactic Republic also refused to let go
The Jedi Order leaves.
Now, people from both sides are engaged in intense negotiations, but there has been no result.
Facing the 100,000 clone soldiers surrounding the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Order did not choose to use force directly. Naturally, the Galactic Republic would not take the initiative to resort to force against the Jedi Order. They simply surrounded the Temple.
And cut off the temple's communications.
However, as a superficial act of 'respect', the Jedi Temple's food, supplies and medicines were provided as usual.
Anakin Skywalker walked towards the top of the Jedi Temple. He wanted to talk to Shaak-Ti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, about his recent nightmare.
He doesn't have many friends in the Jedi Order now. All the Jedi Knights he was close to were dying and leaving, so that he was full of worries but had no one to talk to.
There is only Shakti... After all, even in the past, Shakti was the one who took better care of him among the Supreme Council.
However, when Anakin Skywalker reached the top of the tower, he saw Shaak Ti nervously discussing the current situation with more than a dozen Jedi masters, and it seemed that he had no time to pay attention to him.
He was about to turn around and leave, but Shakti spotted him, and she took the initiative and said: "Anakin, do you have something to say? Come here."
Anakin nodded and walked into the meeting hall.
In the council chamber, Shakti is currently sitting in her former seat. Even though she has become the leader of the Jedi Order, Master Yoda's former seat is still vacant.
Master Yoda is not dead, but he has mysteriously disappeared. Although this news came from Anakin Skywalker, and after he returned safely from Palpatine's office, everyone in the Jedi Order also believed him.
It's not that they believe Anakin, but that they really hope in their hearts that the news is true.
"I can only say, I'm sorry, Anakin. The situation we are in now is indeed very hopeless. But even so, we need to find a feasible way out of it." Shake-Ti said, "Look for me,
Is something wrong?"
Anakin nodded, walked over and said, "I have been dreaming these past few days, the same dream."
"Jedi warriors don't dream randomly. All dreams are inspired by the Force. In the current situation, maybe your dream can be helpful to us." Shake-Ti nodded and said.
"I dreamed... of death and destruction. Endless death, endless destruction... everyone died, all life, all civilization, were destroyed... the galaxy became dead silence." Anakin
-When Skywalker talked about his dream, his voice was still trembling.
Everything in that dream gave him immense fear and shock.
He didn't even dare to look at the power that destroyed everything in the dream! Because he felt that even if he looked at it, the terrible death and destruction would befall him!
Shakti frowned and thought.
The Jedi Master Coleman Kokaji next to him said coldly: "The Sith Lord has become the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic. It is not surprising that with your talent in the Force, you can see the future of destruction.
.”
"The feeling that that power gave me was not that of Sheev Palpatine, but that of someone else." Anakin Skywalker said.
"Even now, are you still speaking for that Sith Lord?" Coleman-Kakaji asked.
His words made Anakin Skywalker's face suddenly become gloomy.
Shakti immediately interrupted: "Master Kakaji, what you said just now is very inappropriate. You must know that there is not only one Sith Lord in this galaxy. Darth Malsayir is also."
"The Speaker did tell me that Darth Malsayir is performing a very evil ritual on the planet Korriban. Once successful, he will become more powerful and darker," Anakin Skywalker said.
"So, do you think the dream you saw was Darth Malsayir?" Shakti asked.
"While I'm not sure, I think it's very likely." Anakin Skywalker replied.
Shakti sighed and said: "So this is why we must eliminate every Sith Lord. The existence of every Sith Lord is a fatal threat to this galaxy."
Anakin Skywalker lowered his head and said nothing, because he discovered that he had a deep connection and bond with these two Sith Lords.
He has been confused about this and doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Rather than worrying about this, the more realistic thing is how to deal with the things in front of us." Coleman-Kakaji said: "We should immediately organize all combat-oriented Jedi Knights, break into the Parliament Building, and kill Darth
-Sidious!"
"Then if this is the case, my dream will undoubtedly come true!" Anakin Skywalker blurted out, but then he realized that his words were inappropriate.
"Nothing is a reason for us to let a Sith Lord go, Anakin. It shouldn't be such a threatening tone..." Shakti said, her tone already a little alienated, "Since Da
Sidious has not restricted you, so you may be able to go to him again and see if you can get a solution. If not, then our Jedi Order will carry out the final action."
Anakin Skywalker's face turned pale, "If this is the case, many of us will die! And regardless of the success or failure of the operation, it will be a serious blow to the Galactic Republic... especially since we are still here
War time……"
"The Galactic Republic should not be the reason for us to judge the situation in the Force." Shakti said, "For this war, we have given up too many bottom lines and violated too many creeds. I believe that this is
It is an important reason why we are in the situation we are in today.”
"The Jedi Order should not be intimidated by a Sith Lord, no matter what he uses," Coleman-Kakaji said.
Anakin Skywalker lowered his head. He knew what Coleman Kokaji meant. For the Jedi Order, this sentence contained a very serious meaning. Because it meant that the Jedi Order wanted to destroy the Sith.
Lord, I would rather sacrifice everything, even the lives of ordinary people!
But he didn't know how to refute it. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "I will go to the Speaker again. I hope this matter can be solved in a better way."
Before he finished speaking, the communicator rang. Anakin Skywalker looked down and his expression suddenly changed.
The person who sent the communication was Sheev Palpatine, the Speaker of the Galactic Republic.
Shakti smiled slightly and made an invitation gesture to the door. Anakin Skywalker bowed deeply to everyone present, then turned and left the meeting hall.
He didn't know at this moment that this would be the last time he would set foot here as a Jedi Knight.
Looking at his back, Coleman Kerkaji shook his head and said: "He still calls Darth Sidious as the Speaker... Deep in his heart, he still has not accepted this reality."
Shakti didn't speak, she just looked in the direction Anakin left with a very complicated expression.
Back in his dormitory, Anakin Skywalker opened the communication. In the holographic projection, the usual gentle face of Speaker Sheev Palpatine was projected.
"I have something to ask you, Anakin." Palpatine said.
"I don't think I, as a Jedi Knight, can have anything to say to a Sith Lord." Anakin Skywalker looked very painful.
"I just want to talk to you about the dream that I have seen repeatedly in the past few days...a dream of destruction..." Sheev Palpatine suddenly said something that was almost explosive.
Anakin Skywalker suddenly jumped up from his stool. His eyes widened and he looked at Palpatine in disbelief, "What did you say? You actually... you actually dreamed of this too?!"
"In normal times, I would be very happy with the tacit understanding between us. But now, your answer only makes me more panicked. Come here," Palpatine said.
Anakin Skywalker nodded.
He walked out of the dormitory to the hall at the entrance of the Jedi Temple, and then walked out. Along the way, he walked through the hundreds of Jedi warriors who were confronting the clone army, and went directly to the clone trooper position.
superior.
Afterwards, in full view of everyone, he took a hover car provided to him by the clone troopers and flew towards the Capitol.
Every Jedi knight who witnessed this scene was filled with inexplicable anger.
Anakin Skywalker was sitting in the car, and his communicator buzzed. When he looked down, it was a message from his secret lover, Padmé Amidala, the senator from the planet Naboo.
She wanted Anakin to see her as soon as possible.
Anakin Skywalker thought for a while, replied with a message asking her to wait for a while, and then went directly to the Speaker's office.
"The Angel of Death - Darth Malsayel, he has succeeded." Seeing Anakin come in, Sheev Palpatine said straightforwardly, getting straight to the point.
"You mean, his dark and evil rituals?" Anakin Skywalker frowned.
"That's right. He conquered the Valley of the Dark Lord. Now the largest and most important relic left by the ancient Sith Empire has become his possession." Palpatine said.
"The geographical location of the planet Korriban makes it impossible for the Separatists to invade it. What's the point of him doing this?" Anakin Skywalker asked again.
"The countless powerful Sith ghosts in the Dark Lord's Valley will become Darth Malsayir's most powerful help. Don't forget, he controls the power of death... Those Sith ghosts will make him
Even more powerful than a tiger." Palpatine said, "And this may be the reason why I saw that dream."
"Are you saying that the destruction in the dream was caused by Darth Malsayir?" Anakin asked.
"You know Anakin, I will never let the Galactic Republic be harmed under any circumstances! This is the goal that I have been striving for all my life. Maybe you Jedi Order can ignore what is happening to the Galactic Republic, but I will!
I will protect the Galactic Republic until the end!" Sheev Palpatine said firmly.
"But you are a Sith Lord!" Anakin Skywalker said in an extremely serious tone.
"Why do you think I became the Speaker of the Galactic Republic? To destroy the goal I have worked so hard to achieve? No! This is my lifelong goal and dream! The Galactic Republic has too many hidden dangers and drawbacks, and I want to establish it
Build a stronger and more prosperous regime! I will not let anyone ruin all of this!" Palpatine became excited, and he continued: "Let's join forces! Kill the Angels! Protect this galaxy!"
…
Anakin Skywalker walked to the other side of the Parliament Building with a somewhat dazed expression. Many members passed by him along the way. It seemed that a meeting had just ended here.
Many congressmen also greeted Anakin very friendly, seemingly unaware that the atmosphere between the Republic and the Jedi Order was already tense.
I don't know why, but Anakin Skywalker feels like he likes it here.
Is it because he often comes to the Parliament Building? Or is it because his lover is also here?
Anakin himself couldn't tell. He just felt that in the Jedi Order, there would be endless pressure that would almost overwhelm him. But here, there was no such thing.
Opening the door, Padmé's assistant took Anakin into the room and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, a fragrant wind blew in, followed by a warm and fragrant soft jade hug...
