Chp: 1 Order 66

I own nothing relating to Star Wars but this is my AU, enjoy….

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was ordered to remain on Coruscant. It was a silent night, had we known what we were about to do we would've spoken up but no one said a word. Not on that night on Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple… Not a Word…"

-Appo-

Coruscant

The usually calming and quiet site of the Jedi Temple was disrupted by the rhythmic beating of boots on the steps of the Temple. The 501st Legion, the elite of the Republic silently marched up the Temple's sacred steps. The Clone troopers were led by the newly christened Darth Vader, the former Anakin Skywalker was ordered by his new master Darth Sidious to attack his former home. The Temple for so long represented peace and tranquility little did its residents know of the ensuing attack about to happen.

The Clone troopers were more than ready to begin the assault, they were armed with DC-15A blaster rifles and DC-15S carbines their orders were clear and with Vader at the helm they truly appeared to be a menacing force. As Vader's feet touched the base of the Temple he did not hesitate or show any sign of regret he simply kept marching towards the Temple's entrance with his legion right behind him. Tonight, the Jedi would be no more, Operation: Knightfall could not be stopped. Vader remembered his master's words.

"Every single Jedi, including your friend, Obi Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic. Do what must be done Lord Vader. Do not hesitate show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the Dark side… to save Padme."

Utapau

The Republic's invasion of Utapau was going relatively well more Clone troopers and walkers were swarmed into the city by LAAT gunship and the droids were being pushed back.

"Sergeant over here! Hurry!" ordered a Paratrooper who was looking after a wounded soldier. A nearby gunship brought in more Clone troopers as others engaged in fierce combat. Several of the natives also assisted the Clones.

"All red units let's go, let's go, let's go!" A clone trooper yelled as he mounted a crab droid and shot it, as another crab droid advanced more clone troopers arrived and it was easily destroyed.

Despite all of the commotion of the battlefield Obi Wan Kenobi and his Varactyl Boga ran past several droids and clone troopers attacking one another in Pau city. Clone Captain Boil was one of those troopers he was currently leading a company consisting of several troopers and AT-RT walkers.

"Come on boys! Don't let up!" Boil yelled as he shot several droids with his carbine. His troops advanced forward firing at many droids. Droid after droid fell to the Republic soldiers, Boil smiled under his helmet, the Clones knew that the war was coming to an end and what better way to end it then with one last Republic victory.

Meanwhile in another part of the city Commander Cody had set up a small command post were troopers and supplies were being dropped off. Cody was directing the battle but he preferred to be in the fight, as the commander observed the battle he heard the cries of Boga Kenobi's lizard, he turned to see his general approaching him on his mount. Cody took off his helmet to greet his General and friend.

"Commander contact your troops, tell them to move to the higher levels." Kenobi ordered.

"Very good sir." As Cody turned he remembered that Kenobi needed his lightsaber.

"Oh and by the way I think you'll be needing this." Cody took out the saber and handed his friend his personal weapon.

"Thank you, Cody, now let's get a move on we got a battle to win here!" Kenobi said.

"Yes Sir!" Cody replied as he saw his general ride off on his lizard. As Cody put his helmet back on his communicator beeped and he answered it. A hologram of an elderly man with a cloak and robes appeared and Cody assumed it was the Chancellor due to the message being used on such an encrypted channel.

*Commander Cody. The time has come, Execute Order 66* The bio-chip in Cody went off and the Clone Commander immediately replied.

"Yes, my Lord." Cody then ended the communication and put the communicator in his compartment. Cody looked for Kenobi on the cliff and once he did he ordered a nearby AT-TE to fire.

"Blast him!" Cody said as he pointed towards Kenobi. The AT-TE used its main cannon and fired on Kenobi's position, the blast hit him and all Cody saw was his former General plummeting towards the bottom of the sink hole.

Nearby Boil had managed to reach Cody's position just in time to see his commander order the walker to kill Kenobi. Boil had gotten the order too and as he saw his general fall he dropped his head in defeat, for he knew not even a Jedi could survive that fall.

Mygeeto

Republic forces were currently leading an assault on the capital city of Mygeeto. The clone troopers were advancing on the bridges leading to the capital, they were met by heavy resistance as Octuptarra droids fired missiles at the clones and their UT-AT tanks. The Galactic marines continued to attack despite the obstacles awaiting them. Several marines shot the B1 and B2 battle droids. The marines General Ki Adi Mundi led his men on the front lines he deflected several lasers back at the droids.

Commander Bacara had fought with Mundi sense the beginning of the war and he followed his general into the blaster fire that awaited him. Bacara aimed his carbine at an incoming droid and he took its head off. Nearby a tri-droid fired another missile this time it hit a group of marines.

"Tank 2 I need some fire power on that tri-droid NOW!" Bacara yelled over his comlink. The UT-AT behind the clone commander fired its turbolaser turret, the tri-droid's head exploded and its massive body fell down on the bridge. Bacara took cover behind the fallen droid and began to fire his carbine. All of a sudden, his helmet com went off, Bacara put his fingers at the side of his helmet and activated the communicator.

*Execute Order 66* As the message ended Bacara was taken aback and he contemplated the order, however whatever thoughts he had were quickly erased as the commander saw Mundi in the front attacking the droids and immediately he knew what he had to do. Bacara waved to a squad of soldiers to accompany him, the clones formed up on Bacara then advanced.

Ki Adi Mundi stabbed a droid with his lightsaber and then looked at his men and rallied them.

"Come on!" The general yelled as he pressed forward. The clones ran behind their general but then halted and they cocked their guns. Mundi heard this and turned around he saw Commander Bacara and his men fire at him. The Jedi had managed to deflect a couple of the lasers and some of the lasers hit three different troopers killing them instantly, then one of Bacara's lasers got Mundi in the stomach. The Jedi dropped his saber and was met by more blaster fire, Mundi took several shots in the chest before finally dying on the snowy bridge.

Felucia

On the tropical planet of Felucia Jedi Knight Aayla Secura lead her convoy that consisted of several walkers, speeders, and clone troopers throughout the jungle. For months Aayla and the 327th led by Commander Bly had been fighting the droid forces on the planet, it was no easy task as the CIS dug their metal heel into the muck of the alien hell hole and dared the Republic to come in after them. On top of the droid problem the Republic had to deal with flesh eating diseases, nocturnal predators, and other sites that would terrify any being.

One thing that the droids hadn't counted on was Aayla Secura's iron will and determination. The Jedi has successfully led her troops in the egregious months and though she lost many men her attitude proved infectious and quickly the Clone troopers showed the same strength she'd shown. The momentum had rapidly shifted to the Republic's and with that came more victories, the CIS found themselves being overwhelmed on several fronts.

Now Aayla was tracking a droid outpost that was supplying the main CIS base, she had sent ARF troopers ahead to scout the area. As she kept walking forward her Clone Commander and close friend had caught up to her.

"Sir the scouts say that the droids got additional armor, mostly tanks and spider walkers." Bly said.

"Tell the troops to lie low until we get there to reinforce them." Aayla replied.

"Yes sir!" Bly immediately contacted his troops. Aayla stared at her Commander for a little bit and smiled, she had been through hell with him and remembered the first time she met him right after the Battle of Geonosis. If there was one thing consistent in the Clone Wars for Aayla was the presence of Bly by her side and over the three years, the two had grown into great friends. The Jedi quickly refocused on the situation and advanced her convoy. As the group moved forward a piercing screech erupted through the jungle. The clone troopers put their weapons up and scanned the jungle tree line. As if on que an acklay swarmed the troopers. The clones fired at the creature and the monster quickly slashed at the troopers killing some.

As more blaster fire rained the acklay cried out in pain before rushing a clone and stabbing the soldier with its pincer.

Aayla Secura ignited her saber and quickly slashed the pincer but the acklay hit her and through her back. Aayla landed on her back and as she opened her eyes she saw the monster stand over her and the creature raised his half a pincer and was about to bring it down until a blaster bolt hit it in the eye and it fell down.

Aayla looked around and saw Bly with a smoking pistol.

"Are you alright commander." Bly asked offering her a hand.

"Yes, a little bruised but I will be fine." She said taking his hand and getting up.

"How many did we lose commander?" She asked.

"About four men dead and three injured." Bly responded. Aayla noticed her commander's body language and she placed a hand on his shoulder. Bly raised his head and looked into Aayla's eyes. He quickly refocused and began moving with the convoy.

An hour later…

Aayla could sense that the droids were close so she put her left hand on her saber to be prepared for any attack. All of sudden she heard a bustling in the nearby vegetation.

*Execute Order 66 Commander Bly*

"Bly, do you think it's droids?" Aayla asked as she halted the convoy of troops and walkers.

"No." Her commander responded in a rather violent tone that Aayla found extremely odd, however in the distance she could see several droids, tanks, and spider walkers in battle formation waiting for them. Bly and several of his top lieutenants including Galle took position right behind Secura and saw the droids, and then a nearby flying creature flew past the Jedi distracting her.

Bly and his lieutenants quickly raised their carbines and rifles at the Twi'lek Jedi and opened fire.

Aayla quickly drew her saber and started to deflect shots right back at her men. The Twi'lek was confused why would they do this to her? Suddenly a blaster bolt got her right in the shoulder. Aayla nearly dropped her saber but she quickly deflected two blaster bolts back and killed a pair of troopers, she then force-pushed Bly and his lieutenants back and ran as fast a she could while clutching her badly injured shoulder.

Kashyyyk

As the battle over Kashyyyk raged on the beachhead Master Yoda felt a grave disturbance in the force. He could feel it, all over the galaxy Jedi were being cut down one by one, he felt their pain and screams. Yoda saw visions of Clones attacking Jedi and the assault on the Jedi Temple, he even saw the death of younglings. The Jedi master dropped his cane and fell to his knees in defeat.

Cato Nemoidia

Under normal circumstances a flight over the beautiful cities of Cato Nemoidia would be quiet an exciting experience, but these times were not normal circumstances despite the war from the looks of it was coming to an end with a Republic victory in sight Master Plo Koon still knew a job had to be done. The Jedi jerked on the fighter control stick and swerved in between the buildings on the nearby cities looking for any signs of droids. Nothing as of yet showed up on his scanners and he pressed a button on his control console and opened his comlink.

"Captain Jag how are you doing in your sector?" The Keldor Jedi asked.

*We just finished mopping up a droid squadron sir, how about you sir? * The clone said.

"Nothing yet I'm sending you my coordinates captain." The Jedi pressed a few buttons put was interrupted by a beeping sound and he looked at his scanners.

*Sir everything alright over there? *

Plo Koon was being targeted by a trio of Separatist droid tri-fighters.

"Captain meet up with me as soon as possible I'm under attack!" With that Plo Koon ended the transmission and he spiraled his fighter around to escape the incoming blaster fire. The droid fighters quickly gave chase and within seconds Plo Koon was in firing range.

The tri-droids were usually very accurate with their shots but thanks to Plo Koon's skill as a pilot he easily out maneuvered them and began zooming through the bridge city.

As one of the fighter droids fired the Jedi jerked the throttle to the right and avoided the lasers. Plo Koon quickly dodged another volley of blaster fire and he quickly turned his ship to the left to avoid a nearby building as did the droid fighters but one of them crashed and exploded into the city.

Plo Koon's ship quickly turned on a sharp angle and now he fired back at the pair of droid fighters coming at him. One of Plo Koon's lasers hit a droid making it smoke and lose control as it crashed on the street of the bridge.

Plo Koon had managed to destroy two out of the three fighters attacking him. Now he jerked the throttle up and soon was behind the last droid fighter. The Jedi master had enough and he opened and fire that was accompanied by a beautiful explosion.

Master Plo then noticed that he had incoming Arc-170 Starfighters coming to his aid led by Jag.

"A little late to the party aren't we captain?" Plo asked.

*Sorry sir we're just as upset as you are because we didn't get any kills*

Plo Koon smiled and told his captain to accompany him on continuing the patrol, Jag and his squadron followed the master.

As the squadron flew in and out of Nemoidia's cities Jag had an incoming transmission. The captain pressed the button for his transmitter and an old man in robes appeared.

*Execute Order 66*

Without hesitation Jag replied. "It will be done my lord."

The Arc-170's open fired on Plo Koon, the lasers chipped the wing of the Jedi's fighter making it flame up and start smoking, as they sent another volley of lasers and the Jedi tried to maneuver and take some control of his craft before the Republic fighters destroyed his engines.

The master Jedi's fighter when out of control and started angling for a nearby spire. The front half of the Jedi's craft hit the spire severely damaging the cockpit and then the craft ricocheted off into a nearby building ending Plo Koon's life in a fiery explosion.

Saleucami

The Siege of Saleucami was all but won, Commander Neyo and the 91st Reconnaissance corps under the leadership of Jedi Master Stass Allie had managed to drive of the Separatist presence on the planet. The war was very difficult for the 91st especially after the death of their original commander Adi Gallia whom the troops had great respect for. Her cousin Stass Allie took over and she did things a lot like her cousin in order to earn the trust of her men.

Stass like her cousin also showed great courage and bravery on the battlefield especially on Saleucami where she suffered her worst casualty rate in the three years of the Clone Wars.

Neyo was not one of the clones who got very sentimental over anybody but he had to admit he's not standing here today were it not for General Allie. As he reflected on the various battles and problems he had to face with Stass Allie a beeping came from his transmitter.

The Clone Commander took the transmitter out of his compartment and it revealed an ARF trooper next to an AT-RT.

*Sir I think you might want to see this." The ARF trooper disappeared from the hologram and it showed a droid head, a commando droid head.

*Commander we found this droid and his partner about 20 clicks from your location, it appears that the two were stragglers that we didn't destroy when we made the final attack, but I would be careful Commander there might be more droids active. * The ARF trooper explained.

"Keep your comlink on at all time trooper keep investigating and report any more findings to me, I'll inform General Allie about the situation." Neyo ordered.

*Yes Sir. * The ARF trooper's hologram disappeared.

Neyo began walking toward the Republic base's war room where Master Allie was usually at. Neyo walked past several of rooms and corridors until he got to the war room where he saw Stass Allie looking at a hologram of several troopers and AT-AP walkers.

"General Allie!" Commander Neyo saluted her and she looked up to see the clone before her.

"Ah! Commander Neyo you nearly scared me." The Jedi joked.

"Never thought I could scare a Jedi haha." The trooper chuckled. Stass Allie rolled her eyes and quickly got back to the point.

"What is it that you are here for Neyo?" Allie asked.

"Oh yes! Quite right, one of our patrols had spotted and killed a pair of commando droids." The commander said.

"I thought all droids were destroyed?" Allie said with a look of curiosity.

"It appears though they escaped right before we got them sir." Neyo replied.

"Hmmm…" Stass Allie thought and she got closer to the clone before replying. "I don't like it Commander grab one of your troopers and come with me were going to do our own patrol."

Commander Neyo nodded and left the war room.

5 minutes later…

Commander Neyo and another clone trooper were waiting on their BARC speeder bikes for the Jedi. Neyo started checking his DC-17 pistol just in case any droids did just happened to be spotted. As time wore on the Clone Commander looked up and saw General Allie entering the vehicle depot. The Jedi walked up to her speeder and mounted it. As the clones got ready Stass Allie revved her speeder before signaling the troopers to follow her, then she and the two clones accompanying her left the base.

45 minutes later…

For almost an hour the Jedi and her troopers had been patrolling the swamplands finding nothing but sites of former battles. Dead clones and droids littered the sites and downed walkers accompanied the corpses as well. The fighting on Saleucami had indeed been fierce with several battles posting high casualty numbers for both sides.

Stass Allie started to doubt her suspicions from earlier maybe she was just paranoid, then again in a war you have to be aware of all your surroundings.

Beep, Beep…

Commander Neyo's helmet comlink went off and the clone trooper put his first two fingers to the side of his helmet and answered.

*Execute Order 66* Commander Neyo nodded and then peaked over at the other clone trooper and both nodded at each other. Neyo and the troopers pulled back their BARC speeders without Master Allie looking and then fired on the unsuspecting Jedi.

The blasts hit her speeder and it exploded instantly tossing Stass Allie's body into the nearby grass and sent her speeder flying out of control into some rocks while a half of the speeder broke off and ricocheted into a nearby pond.

Kashyyyk

Blaster fire rained down on the beaches of Kachirino the capital city of Kashyyyk as Republic and Wookie forces dueled in fierce combat against the advancing army of the Separatists. Clone troopers all over the beach were making a valiant stand holding their own against the advancing droid forces. Wookie warriors gladly came to their aid. Several AT-AP walkers advanced and leant fire support engaging with the droid tanks.

Luminara Unduli was at the center of the battlefield as explosions and blaster fire surrounded her. The Jedi ran up and sliced a droid in half while her soldiers continued to fire at the CIS droids. Nearby a clone trooper fired his carbine at a battle droid, another fired his weapon from one of the trenches scattered all over the beach.

An explosion from a NR-N99 tank had killed several of the droids near it while a dwarf spider droid focused its fire on a clone unit. Some clones took cover as the battle raged on and a clone trooper named Draa fired his RPS-6 rocket launcher on a group of B1 and B2 droids. In the skies, Wookie flight craft fought in fierce aerial combat with the droid gunships. A droid gunship fired its missiles at a nearby clone unit and blew them up, however an AT-AP walker had moved in and fired its main cannon at the droid ship destroying it.

Also, a tank droid was assaulted by Wookies who shot at it with their weapons and eventually blew it up sending the occupants of the tank flying. Some droid forces had moved up the beach but were met by the missiles of juggernaut tanks as the massive wheeled vehicles rolled on the beaches of Kashyyyk providing extra fire power for Republic forces.

Draa had met up with Master Unduli and fought alongside her like he has done before so many times.

"Forward men we must hold the line!" Luminara ordered and several of her men charged into the droid forces. As Luminara cut down droids a destroyer droid had snuck behind her and was about to fire until BOOM!

Draa blew it up saving Luminara's life, the Jedi noticed this and smiled at her clone captain.

"Draa tell your men to help our right flank, they are in need of support!" She ordered as she deflected blaster fire.

"Right General…" Draa looked quickly turned and ordered his troops to move. "Green company move to the right and help out those Wookies they are getting shredded!" The troopers with walker support the troops did as ordered and Draa continued to fight next to Luminara.

Beep, Beep!

"Not now!" Draa thought as his helmet comlink went off. Draa quickly took cover in a trench and activated his comlink.

*Execute Order 66*

"Yes Sir!" Draa looked over at Luminara and started walking over to her with his DC-15S pointed at her. The Jedi was too distracted with the droid forces to notice her captain behind her. Draa focused the blaster on her and pulled the trigg—

"Ahhh!" Draa cried as the Wookie chieftain Merumeru grabbed him and tossed him on the beach. The Chieftain led out a war cry that caught Luminara's attention. The Jedi looked behind her at the scene before her. Luminara looked at Draa on the ground and now sensed his intentions.

"Merumeru I must get to Master Yoda, now!"

The Wookie groaned and called for one of the fluttercraft to pick up Luminara.

Meanwhile….

Clone Commander Gree of the 41st Elite Corps was currently surveying the battlefield of Kachirino through his specialized binoculars. The clone was currently on one of the many platforms that had a perfect view of the beach.

As he watched the battle unfold streaks of blue and red erupted in the air as the Republic and Separatist forces collided. The clones clearly had the better technological advantage and also had the mighty Wookie warriors for support but the droid forces had overwhelming numbers. Even though Gree knew that numbers don't always win battles they sure as hell help.

Beep, Beep…

"What the…" Gree looked at his communicator and took it out of the compartment of his phase II armor. Gree put the binoculars in his back compartment and then activated the message, revealing an old man with robes.

"Is this the Chancellor?" Gree asked and then came to the swift conclusion that the person was Palpatine.

*Commander Gree it is time, Execute Order 66*

Gree looked at the hologram and swiftly replied.

"It will be done my lord." The hologram disappeared, Gree looked over at Master Yoda and began walking with his DC-15S carbine in hand. Gree all of a sudden stopped, and he contemplated his actions. Next a massive headache happened and all Gree could do was to hit his helmet a couple of times to make the pain stop.

"Good soldiers follow orders GREE! Good soldiers follow orders GREE! Good soldiers follow ord- NO!" Gree was fighting himself this was an entirely new type of warfare he was not prepared for but all he could do was fight the urge to kill Master Yoda. The pain in his head returned and it got worse with every second that past, it felt as though his head was about to explode.

"AHH! Enough!" Gree had managed to restore some control. Gree started walking again and looked at the clone scout trooper next to him and shook his head saying no. The clone scout was taken aback by this and foolishly he still raised his gun at the back of the Jedi Master.

Suddenly Yoda flipped into the air and decapitated the clone scout trooper. As the trooper fell to the ground, his body lifeless Gree couldn't help but smile under his helmet.

"Commander Gree courageous you are for fighting, sensed it I did, easy it was not." The small green alien said as he looked up at the commander of the 41st smiling.

"Thank you Master Jedi, but with all due respect sir you must get off this planet, I will stay back and mislead the other troops." Commander Gree said.

Yoda nodded and then got on the back of Chewbacca and let the Wookies lead him to the mountains.

Coruscant

What had started out as a quiet relatively peaceful night on Coruscant soon escalated into a bloody affair in the Jedi Temple. All around them clone forces of the 501st were shooting them down one by one. The clones were everywhere showing no remorse or mercy. All Commander Appo could hear was the screams of the dying.

Never did he ever imagine a scenario like the one before him at this very instance. To attempt to kill a Jedi was one thing but to completely eradicate the heroes of the Republic who like the clones died on the frontlines was unthinkable, yet here he was this time not as a of peace but one of death. All around him he saw the attack on the temple.

A squad of clones had a Jedi cornered and he tried to deflect the blaster fire as best he could but eventually one of the clone's lasers pierce his stomach and then the rest of the troopers finished him off.

Appo himself spotted a Jedi knight she looked relatively young and had a blue lightsaber. The Jedi had cut down a couple of clones but was currently distracted by laser fire, Appo raised his carbine and blasted her in the back. The female Jedi dropped instantly.

Appo saw another Jedi come at him he dodged the initial saber and then began firing at the man. Most of Appo's shots were deflected Appo waited until the Jedi charged him and Appo shot him in the throat. As he looked down at his kill he couldn't help but feel sadness. How he wished he was with Yularen and Rex on Mandalore right now.

Another clone had shot a Jedi in the legs and had him pinned to the ground under his boots. The clone lowered his carbine and shot the Jedi in the head.

Two Jedi were surrounded by a group of clones and they force-pushed them back sending them flying. However, a clone with a rocket launcher shot his missile and blew the Jedi out of existence.

No matter how much the Jedi tried the effort was useless the clones had gotten them by surprise and outnumbered them in their own home.

Elsewhere

ARC trooper Jesse was blasting up a hall way with his troopers as the Jedi started to retreat as the blue laser bolts connected with the bodies of more Jedi. Jesse advanced and shot at the Jedi with his DC-15S carbine, one of Jesse's lasers hit a Jedi in the head killing the man. Jesse hit another Jedi and in the shoulder before letting his men finish her off.

The Jedi quickly ran from the advancing clones most of the Jedi were undisciplined and raw padawans.

"Search these rooms if you see any younglings shoot on sight." Jesse knew that the order he just gave out was easier said than done. In truth, out of all the missions he went on during the Clone Wars this one was the worst.

The ARC trooper opened the door to a room and saw several younglings hiding. As much as Jesse wanted to shut his eyes and leave them alone he couldn't he fired his blaster and at that moment the screams of the younglings were deafening. Once Jesse stopped he looked at the dead kids and started to cry under his helmet.

"Where is the honor in this?" The ARC asked himself.

Meanwhile

Padme's Apartment…

Padme Amidala saw the emerald flames erupt from the Jedi Temple from afar in her home. The scene was frightening, what had happened? Who was responsible for this?

As the thoughts rushed through the Senator's mind she then thought of her husband Anakin, he was a Jedi and if he was in the Temple she feared for his life, if Anakin was dead how could she raise their son or daughter without their father. Amidala had already sent 3PO to see the records from the Chancellor's office to see if she could find out where Anakin was. Padme continued to watch the Temple burn while her droid returned.

As if on que Amidala's door opened and the golden droid entered the room.

"The Chancellor's office indicated that Master Anakin return to the Jedi Temple, don't worry I… I'm sure he'll be alright." The protocol droid said. Padme began to sob.

Senator Bail Organa looked at the Jedi Temple in horror from his speeder. Bail had been close friends with several Jedi and to see the Temple in flames was sickening. The Senator from Alderaan needed to find out what was going on.

Bail Organa turned the speeder controls and flew towards one of the Jedi towers landing pads. Several 501st Legion Clone troopers led by Appo were there to greet him.

"What's going on here!" The Senator demanded.

Appo halted the advancing Senator and replied.

"There's been a rebellion, sir. Don't worry the situation is under control." Organa was not satisfied with the answer he felt as though the commander was hiding something from him.

Bail started to walk into the Temple, Appo and his men immediately drew their carbines at the senator.

"I'm sorry sir it's time for you to leave." The clone commander said with great authority.

Bail Organa gave one last look at the 501st troopers and knew even though he had a blaster he would be no match for the clones, he replied.

"And so, it is." Organa turned his back and started to walk back towards his speeder.

"GET HIM!" A clone trooper shouted from behind Appo and his men. Organa turned around to see a Jedi padawan leaping from behind Appo and slashing a clone trooper in the stomach. The padawan then sliced another trooper's leg off before directing his attention to Appo. The commander drew his weapon and got a shot off before the blue lightsaber came at him, Appo tried to roll backwards but the saber still managed to slash his stomach. The young Jedi then hacked down another trooper and started to deflect blaster fire from the remaining clones.

Another clone fell as by his own laser as the padawan deflected it back. However, the padawan's brave efforts were short lived as a clone trooper got a shot off at his chest but not before the padawan had managed to kill another clone.

"NOOO!" Organa yelled as the young Jedi fell. Organa revved his speeder's engine and he took off as the clones were making sure that the padawan was dead.

"Don't worry about him, let him go!" said a clone trooper. Then Commander Appo groaned a bit, the clone troopers picked him up and immediately rushed him to a medic.

That's chapter one people, this is my uhh… updated version of Star Wars rise and fall of an empire, sorry I hadn't updated in a while but I just wasn't feeling it until now, I'll try to start to work on chapter 2 as soon as I can.
