Chapter 2284 Explosion

2284. Explosion

In the empty parliament building, Anakin walked into the office of Speaker Palpatine.

A lonely figure was sitting at the desk, his fingers crossed into a ball, propped on his forehead, his whole head was almost buried in the desk. This is not at all the all-powerful speaker who led the Republic to fight against powerful enemies, but just a lonely old man.

"Pa...Your Excellency, Speaker." Anakin greeted with a heavy heart.

"Hehe, Anakin, you're here." Palpatine raised his head and forced a smile. He stood up from his desk, sat on the reception sofa, pointed to his side and said, "Come on, sit down." Come down."

Anakin hesitated, "Your Excellency, this is not in line with etiquette..."

"It's okay, sit down. Whether it's the speaker or the council, it doesn't matter anymore." Palpatine said.

Anakin's heart sank, and then he walked over and sat down. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, what happened to make you lose your composure?"

With a long sigh, Palpatine lay on his back and said, "We are losing this war, Anakin. The republic's evils are greater than we imagined. I have tried my best to defeat separatism, but Kobe Relia, Rendili... one by one gave us a fatal blow in the back... just received a report that the Separatist fleet is still 21 hours away from the Rendili galaxy, but almost all of our strength It must now be concentrated in the Corellian galaxy..."

Anakin nodded and said, "I know, stop at the middle point." Saying this word, a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"But do you know what hurts me the most? Anakin." Palpatine changed his posture, stared at Anakin with burning eyes, and said slowly: "Whether it's Corellia or Lundy Li, was once a part of our republic! Yes, our enemies have always come from behind us...whether in the past or now..."

"Now...you mean..." Anakin felt an ominous premonition.

"The Republic is experiencing another rebellion, Anakin." Palpatine's expression suddenly changed, became calm, and even looked a little gloomy, "A rebellion of the Jedi Knights that we can no longer afford."

Click! ! These words fell from the sky like a thunderbolt! !

...

at the same time,

On the top floor of the Jedi Temple, in a closed room, a middle-aged woman in her 40s was lying quietly on a small bed in the middle. All I can see is that her complexion is a little dark, with a bead inlaid on the center of her eyebrows and on the bridge of her nose. Her lips are dark red and very generous, which makes people feel a sense of distance. In general, it looks like an Indian aunt [Note 1].

But at this moment, the real dark power emanating from her makes people feel extremely frightened! But this force was only fleeting, and then she opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. She looked around, opened the door and walked out.

The Jedi Temple was already empty, and after Master Yoda disbanded the Jedi Order, most of the people had already left here with grief. The woman didn't seem surprised at all, and walked straight towards the door.

"Master Birabha?... Is it Master Depa-Bilaba?" A Jedi apprentice who hadn't left yet saw her and couldn't help but screamed, "Are you awake? You're not in Harunkar..."

Depa Birabha smiled and said, "Yes, I'm awake."

"I heard some rumors before, saying that you committed crimes in Harren Carr and fell into the dark side. Now it seems that it is completely nonsense... It's just that the current Jedi Order..." The Jedi apprentice was a little emotional said.

Bilaba nodded: "I know, the Force will make arrangements. You go, may the Force be with you."

The Jedi apprentice obviously didn't want to stay for a long time, and after a few casual greetings, he walked out quickly.

Bilaba looked at the back of the apprentice, then looked at the empty Jedi Temple, and said to himself: "Facts have proved that I was on the right path..."

Countless pictures flashed through her mind. After the war started, on the Harunkar planet facing civil war and separatist invasion, in order to end this seemingly endless war, she joined one of the warlords, expanding the army, fighting, massacring... Countless killings bothered her, but But she understood that if she stopped killing, there would be more killings. In this confusion, she fell into the dark side. At that time, she used her last reason to write a letter to her teacher, and then her teacher came to Harun Carr and brought her the ruling of the Jedi Council to arrest and judge her.

She drew her sword on her teacher, and easily defeated her teacher with her superb swordsmanship. But at the last moment, her mind became confused again, and then she fell into a coma until now.

Bilaba looked at the dark Jedi temple, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "...you are wrong, master... Mace Windu [Note 2]..." She said, she ignored it He adjusted his clothes, covered his face with a scarf, walked out of the temple, and sank into the boundless darkness.

...

In a dark corner of Coruscant, whoosh! ! The sword light of the lightsaber flashed by, and a member of parliament in a fine costume was split in two by the indestructible lightsaber! Standing in front of him was a petite woman who covered her face with a cloak, but she could still see her petite figure. She waved the blue lightsaber casually, jumped, and disappeared into the shadows, leaving only panic pedestrians and the masses.

After returning to the hiding place, the woman lifted the cloak, revealing a face with a unique light yellow complexion, a good face, and several lines painted on it. The corner of her mouth smiled contemptuously, took out her personal terminal, and crossed one of the names. If her master was still alive, she would be shocked to see her now, because she was the apprentice of the late Jedi Master Luminara-Anduri, Barris-Ophee!

...

The Capitol, in Palpatine's office.

"The Jedi Knights rebelled? It's impossible, Your Excellency the Speaker." Anakin couldn't help being shocked when he heard the earth-shattering news, but he always understood the embarrassing position of being caught between the Jedi Order and the Council of the Republic, and Not too gaffe, but try to make yourself as objective as possible.

"But they, indeed, stabbed the deadliest knife behind me." Palpatine turned his head, not looking at Anakin, but looking forward, his expression was a bit sinister, "Jedi Order , abandoned the Republic..."

[Note 1]: This Indian aunt has many roles in "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" and "Star Wars Episode 1: Attack of the Clones", and is a member of the Jedi Council. But it suddenly disappeared in the third "Revenge of the Sith", and the reason is as follows.

[Note 2]: Master Windu is not usually regarded as the number one swordsman among the Jedi knights. In fact, no matter whether it is a Jedi knight or the dark side, they are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many hidden masters. For example, this Indian aunt...didn't expect her to be so good when watching the movie, right?
