44 Years Ago...

"You are under arrest, my lord." Mace Windu said inching toward the Chancellor. The two had just fought a heated battle with their own lightsabers. To which Master Windu was the declared winner. Out of the corner of his eye, the Jedi saw the young man, Anakin Skywalker. He had watched the young padawan train into the Knight he was now.

"Anakin, I told you it would come to this. I was right. The Jedi are taking over." The words escaping Palpatine's mouth were completely ridiculous to Mace Windu's ears. The Jedi protected peace and order through the galaxy, to say they were 'taking over' was ridiculous.

"The oppression of the Sith, will never return, you have lost." Mace outspoke. He knew the Jedi next to him was taking the words seriously. Could the young Skywalker actually believe him?

"No, no...NO! You have lost!" Palpatine yelled, Force lightning erupting from his fingertips. Acting faster than the speed of light, Windu brought his purple lightsaber to his defence. He had seen Master Yoda perform such a maneuver on other Sith's with this ability. "He's a traitor!" the Chancellor said to Anakin.

"He is the traitor!" Mace countered lowering the Lightsaber against the assault. As the blade grew closer to the Chancellor the lightning began attacking it's users face. The effects were horrifying and the damage was grim.

"I have the power to save the one's you love." Palpatine said to Anakin, even after all this he was still trying to seduce the young Jedi. The conflict spread across Anakin's face. The Light and Dark side's of the Force going to war inside his mind. "You must choose!"

"Don't listen to him, Anakin!" The Jedi Master yelled pushing the blade closer to the Sith. More and more lightning jumped from the lightsaber and burned Palpatine's body even more.

"Don't let him kill me!" The Chancellor pleaded to Anakin once more. "I can't hold it any longer. I have to recharge, I'm too weak, Anakin!" The lightning began to subside and Mace Windu pulled his blade away. The battle momentarily ceased. "Help me, help me..."

"I am going to end this, once and for all." Mace Windu said glaring at the hideous and destroyed man before him.

"You can't!" Anakin spoke from the side, Mace cast his glare onto him. "He must stand trial." The boy was entirely right, but could Master Windu allow it?

"He has control of the Senate, and the courts. He's too dangerous to be left alive." The words were not too far from the very words said to Anakin by the Chancellor when he faced Count Dooku.

"Good, Anakin, good." The Chancellor said as Anakin sliced the Sith Lord's hands off, and seized his lightsaber. The red and blue blades sat hovering above the Count's shoulders.

"I can't, it's not the Jedi way..." Anakin had been taught many times that life was only to be taken when needed, not for revenge.

"Do it!" And Anakin did. The Sith's head toppled to the floor, his body soon after. "He was too dangerous to be kept alive...

"I'm too weak, don't kill me!" Palpatine pleaded.

"It's not the Jedi way." Anakin spoke. "He must live. I need him!" Mace ignored the boy's request and brought his blade down on the Chancellor. In a place of blue Mace Windu's hand was burned off by the Lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi Master's very own fell out of the window and onto the street below.

"Unlimited power!" Palpatine said electrifying the Jedi Master, the man flew out of the window and to his death.

On the pavement, the Jedi's lightsaber sat for only but a few moments. It was soon retrieved by a man named Kin Lo, a small worker in the Republic. From him it was given to the rightful authorities and transferred to it's new home.

Lance Windu, the son of Mace Windu was only eleven when his father was killed. But he was the prime age to be a Padawan in the Jedi academy. From his father he had begun to learn the ways of the Force. Lance would learn to blend into society around him as the Galactic Senate became the Galactic Empire, and until the Civil War ended. He would be a shadow of the former Jedi. It was only because of his father, a Jedi Master. Was he able to leave the planet Coruscant and find a better life on the planet Oren.

On a cold winter's night on the planet, in his new home. The ghost of his father appeared to him. He had been told stories of great Jedi becoming one with the Force upon their death, but had never seen it. From Mace Windu's ghost, Lance would travel to a crater, where in held a small boy from far away. This is where the story of Duncan Crev truly begins.

Well, there's chapter 2. I know it's not long but I don't think this story is going to have too long of Chapters. Once I get into the story more I'm sure it'll be much better to read. Thank you :D
