Hey guys! I know I haven't wrote anything in awhile but I'm back and will be writing a lot more. So I'm starting this new fanfic and its AU and takes place as if the clone wars has been going on for 8 years! Kinda my view on how Palpatine could have turned Anakin to the dark side. Warning most likely some character deaths as we go farther through the story. Review or follow if you like, and please tell me thoughts so far!

On the barren dry world of Sincar the republic forces wait for reinforcements to help aid them in a devastating battle. Bolts were flying all over in a rain of deadly blasts. Over the dry hard ground hundreds of droids marched out to meet the republic's forces. Crouched in a dry hot trench Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker waited with their men.

(Obi Wans Point of view)

"This is stupid, this planet has nothing on it, no resources, no citizens, no trade routes. Why in the world are we even out here" Anakin exclaimed with frustration. But, Anakin was right, the planet was useless, and with all the bad weather the republic couldn't even build a base. But at this point Yoda and the rest of the council were tired of arguing with Palpatine.

"The chancellor clearly said it was important to win this battle, he must have some reason for wanting the planet" I said to Anakin, though I wasn't even sure what I said was true. It seemed like all battles these days were useless, and Jedi were getting hurt and killed in these battles. Horrid war, been raging for 8 years now. And along the way we have lost so many good Jedi. Not only were we losing good Jedi though, but tiring and breaking all the Jedi left.

Yoda hasn't fought a battle in years, and can't go any where without a cane. Mace barley fights anymore, and is always so stressed out. Many other Jedi masters seem to be aging rapidly. Of course me and Anakin are still out on the front with our faithful clone soldiers.

We hear a boom in the distance and Rex informs us the droids are closing in. "Reinforcements will be arriving shortly masters, hold on as long as you can".

"I think we can manage to hang out a little longer, it might take awhile for the droids to come" I say calmly.

"Just be careful masters, rumor has it the separatists are sending their new droid models into battle" stated Rex over the hologram.

"A clankers a clanker Rex. Not going to make a difference what type they are" Anakin said cockily.

"Well I trust you General Skywalker. I will join both of you when our ship gets out of hyperspace" Rex finished and his hologram faded.

We could hear the droids marching from here. I gave my troops the alert signal, so if the droids to attack they would be ready. I could sense everyone was a bit nervous, except Anakin. As reckless and painful as he can be sometimes, I gotta hand it to the kid, he is very brave. Of course all of our troops are brave, but Anakin..just never seems to be worried about anything.

A scout clone informs us we need to meet the droids now. Me and Anakin grab our lightsabers and climb out of the trench with our troops. We see the droids emerge from the red dust. They are much bigger and quicker than battle droids for sure. We ignite our sabers.

Anakin looks at me and nods, I send him a reassuring presence through the force. This was just going to be any old battle, because I have seen 8 years of battles, and this one looked no different.

We then gave the signal to our troops and ran right towards the droids. I brace myself as we get closer to the droids, and as they start firing I see another figure emerge from the dust. And the familiar red blade of count dooku ignites. I should have sensed him, but something must have been clouding my ability to use the force. I noticed from the beginning of this morning I wasn't feeling right and now the force seemed so far. I just kept running...but as I run the world seems to slow down, one moment I'm running towards and army of droids and a Sith Lord, and the other my world goes black as pain shoots through me.

The ground seems to break beneath me and I am on the verge of passing out. I can't feel the ground and suddenly my ears hear a huge explosion. Then I hear nothing. My ears ring violently, I can see nothing but black. I can't feel anything but darkness surrounding me, and finally I feel my body brutally hit the hard ground and then my world goes black.
