1484. Order 66 (ExecuteOrder66) (1)
Destruction...death...
Horrible dreams have been tormenting Anakin Skywalker for several days. When did it start?
Probably, that 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 I 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, the Jedi he saw along the way all looked at him strangely, either with hostility or confusion. But Anakin Skywalker didn't pay attention. He was used to these looks.
In fact, even if these recent events had not occurred, 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 in a confrontation with the clone army of the Galactic Republic. The Jedi led by Shaak-Ti refused to open their library to Speaker Sheev Palpatine's previous motion. Therefore, the Galactic Republic also refused to let the Jedi Order leave.
Now, people from both sides are in intense negotiations, but there has been no result.
Faced with a hundred thousand 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 would just surround the temple and cut off the temple's communications.
However, as a superficial "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 left in the Jedi Order now. All the Jedi who were close to him died and left, so that he was full of worries but had no one to talk to.
There is only Shake Ti... After all, even in the past, Shake Ti 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. She took the initiative and said, "Anakin, do you have something to say? Come here."
Anakin nodded and walked into the council chamber.
In the meeting hall, Shakti is currently sitting where she once was. Even though she has become the leader of the Jedi Order, Master Yoda's former position is still vacant.
Master Yoda is not dead yet, he is just mysteriously missing. Although this news came from Anakin Skywalker, and after his safe return from Palpatine's office, everyone in the Jedi Order 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, "You look for me, Is something wrong?"
Anakin nodded, walked over and said, "I have been dreaming these past few days, the same dream."
"Jedi knights don't dream randomly. All dreams are revelations from the Force. In the current situation, maybe your dreams 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, was destroyed... the galaxy became dead silence." Anakin -When Skywalker talked about his dream, his voice was still trembling.
Everything in that dream gave him an extremely huge
of 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 took a look, the terrible death and destruction would befall him!
Shakti frowned and thought.
The Jedi Master Coleman Kerkaj next to him said somewhat coldly: "The Sith Lord has actually become the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, so with your talent in the Force, it is not surprising that you can see the future of destruction. "
"The feeling that that power gave me was not that of Sheev Palpatine. It was 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 darken.
Shaak-Ti immediately interrupted: "Master Kakaji, what you said just now is very inappropriate. You know, there is not only one Sith Lord in this galaxy. Darth Malthael also."
"The Chancellor did tell me that Darth Malthael is performing a very evil ritual on the planet Korriban. Once successful, he will become more powerful and darker," Anakin Skywalker said.
"So, you think the dream you saw was Darth Malthael?" Shaak-Ti 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 Capitol, and kill Darth -Sidious!"
"Then if so, 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 wields," Coleman-Kakaji said.
Anakin Skywalker lowered his head, knowing what Coleman Kerkaji meant. For the Jedi Order, the implications of this statement were very serious. Because this means that the Jedi Order would rather sacrifice everything, even the lives of ordinary people, in order to eliminate the Sith Lord!
But he didn't know how to refute. 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 Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.
Shakti smiled slightly and made an inviting gesture towards the door. Anakin Skywalker spoke deeply to everyone present.
He bowed, 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 at the direction Anakin left with a very complicated expression.
Returning to his dormitory, Anakin Skywalker opened the communication. In the holographic projection, Speaker Sheev Palpatine's always gentle face was projected.
"I have something to ask you, Anakin," Palpatine said.
"I don't think I, as a Jedi, 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..." But 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 came directly to the clone trooper's position.
Afterwards, in full view of everyone, he took a hover vehicle 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 Malthael, he has succeeded." Seeing Anakin come in, Sheev Palpatine said straightforwardly, getting straight to the point.
"You mean, his dark and evil ritual?" Anakin Skywalker frowned.
"That's right. He conquered the Dark Lord's Valley. 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 Malthael'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."
"You mean, the destruction in the dream was caused by Darth Malthael?" 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 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 shortcomings. I want to establish 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 Death Angel.
! Protect this galaxy! "
…
Anakin Skywalker walked to the other side of the Capitol in a daze. Many members passed by him along the way. It seemed that a meeting had just ended.
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 there would be endless pressure in the Jedi Order, which almost made him overwhelmed. But here, it doesn't.
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...
