Introduction:
I am disappointed with how the 2005 film ROTS turned out to be, i also did not find myself satisfied with the film's novelisation either by Matthew Stover. I also wanted to basically show what i believe would have been a more interesting change of event's. So i decided to type this post.
And i intend on continuing it by doing a part 2 which will show how the raid on the jedi temple of coruscant happened, order 66 & the death of General Grievous on Utapau also how Anakin got into the vader suit.
Though i warn readers about the amount of detail, timing and overall content put into this script. For making it more interesting i decided to upload several photo's, images to make it like a comic which is always better to read than a novel/book.
[edit starts]
I DECIDED TO REDO THIS ONCE IM DONE WITH MY CLONE WAR FANFIC
[end of edit]
========
MOVIE BEGIN'S!
Grievous want's to abandon the space war;
As one hundred capital ships are leaving the orbit of planet Naboo with a desire to free the supreme chancellor on orders of Yoda (he sent a transmission & detailed how Palpatine needs to be saved immediately). Spy droids then identified a century of vehicles going in the direction of Coruscant which gets notified to the droid General Grievous. He wondered if he should call back up as well (from a base on the mid rim planets under his control) but wanting to secure his win he opted for simply retreating to separatist controlled space rather than waste time & resources in Coruscant.
As Grievous made a plan to extricate the Invisible Hand then Dooku had a conversation with him through a hologram, grievous said "what is it? im in the middle of a war" Dooku responded "you will obey my commands though and we will stay in Coruscants orbit" Grievous replied "what?! we need to get off system immediately with our prize!" Dooku said "i have a different plan that you wont be able to understand i am waiting for Skywalker and Kenobi to enter here..."
"after we capture them then the Republic will surrender on its own, their 2 greatest heroes will be in our custody too" Grievous then told him "but you can do this in a different space lane, away from Coruscant where they wont get much back up! they just left planet Tythe four day's ago! They're probably in the Mid Rim lets just meet them their instead of letting them come to us!" Dooku said "you will have to listen to my orders otherwise you are going to be demoted thats all general" Grievous crushed his hologram device in his mechanical arm notably frustrated.
LENGTH SO FAR - 3 minute's passed.

The actions of obi wan & anakin;
In outer space the gold squadron is led by Captain Rex, General Anakin, General Kenobi and commander cody. They are a fleet of airship's, star fighters and pilots in vehicles. They number 556 altogether, but about 49 of their vehicles have already been damaged or declared as "MIA" (missing in action).
The target of this battalion is the main star cruiser of the Separatist Navy called "Invisible Hand". The pathways blocked by buzz droids, 26 giant vehicles and 33 enemy smaller droid ship's. Obi Wans plan is to avoid encountering any of these enemies as they will need the vehicles they are in to be undamaged if they plan to secure the Chancellor safely.
Rex & Cody decide to send all clones under their command to form a circular formation around the main 4 star ships (cody's, rex's, anakin's & obi wans) these clone ships will take any damage sent their way, even leading the enemy ships astray so no one will go after the jedi ships.
Anakin personally made a rash decision by going in the head of their naval formation, he shot down 2 capital ships in a dogfight, any counterattack the separatist navy conducted was nullified by the clone ship's who were sent by Rex.
Current Length - 5 minutes and 30 second's (2 and a half passed here.)

Plo Koon's secret mission;
Master Jocasta said to Plo "what if that region of the vehicle had the supreme chancellor in it?!" to which Plo responded "he would want grievous & dooku to be punished at the cost of his life" unbeknownst to his accomplice (jocasta is the 'accomplice') Plo was secretly trying to accomplish a task the jedi high council wanted done a long time ago.
Palpatine was climbing up the heirarchy amassing greater political power, letting himself gain more control over the citizens and jedi while damaging the reputation of jedi and making force wielders look bad. So the high council desired for Palpatine to have been killed but after the war only.
Cause they wont be able to properly elect a new chancellor when this war is going on. But Plo felt like their would not be a grander chance than this moment (for the Invisible Hands destruction can commence in palpatine dying) it would also lead to the war ending (if both grievous/dooku died) and the election for a new chancellor can start after.
==
Plo Koon's action:
Jedi general Plo Koon found where the invisible hand is, he made a plan to encircle the space ship of Grievous, but every laser cannon wave attack was rendered useless. Grievous's ship was surrounded by an armada of CIS vehicles which acted as a piece of armor. Each time a star ship was destroyed their was another one behind it and infront of the Invisible Hand. Plo Koon eventually made a daring attempt of entering a bigger capital ship (which was much closer to the Invisible Hand). With 50 clone troopers he occupied that ship and crash landed into Invisible Hand with that very ship.
This crash could not be felt by anyone inside the Invisible Hand that was 150 meters away, it was a vehicle longer than 1 thousand 88 meter's, grievous did not feel the damage of this crash, but he did get notified of the crash. He assumes that a enemy is impersonating one of his gaurd ship's and tell's commander ithano to deal with it. Who obliges by alarming all droids near the region (where Plo Koons unit landed) to slay the intruders, about 2,150 droids (300 of them are B2 model's) were alerted and became malicious.

Current LENGTH; 8 minutes and 30 second's (3 minutes passed).

Response of the Separatist chief's;
Commander Ithano say's "im going to do with a separatist does best... and that is seperate!" To prevent Invisible Hand from getting harmed (a minor fire was created) he activated a button which separated the complex that was furthest away from the headquarters of Grievous cause that complex was the one which Plo crashed into. After that Grievous gets angry and chooses to deal with Plo himself telling Ithano "you are fugging useless! you left your droids their to fight alone"
Grievous going in a escape pod temporarily left his position of power in the headquarters and reached the location of the intruder. He saw Plo Koon who also had Jocasta Nu at his rear and 20 clone troopers (4 of them were commando rank). The jedi master's knew they're outnumbered so they try to prevent their adversary from using all their numbers at them.
Plo used Electric Judgement, ending 12 droids existence by burning them to a sheer crisp. A clone with a vibro shield comes in front of master Koon to block any blaster fire. Commander Wolffe seeing his men dwindle to under 2 dozen ordered them to use the corpses of other clones as meat shields and take away the guns and ammunition of the droids they destroyed.
Jocasta used the force to shove one magna guard backwards. However the super battle droid's (B2 series) kept coming, they attacked the jedi though they were all stuck in a smaller area with less room (preventing the droids from using their full power) the jedi knew they were outmatched cause of numbers. Their fellow clones were not able to seize opportunities when present (to snatch guns from corpses). Four more of them end up dead.
Current Length - 11 minute's.
=======
General Grievous wages war;
By now grievous had landed on the dispatched part of his vehicle, wearing a cape the General wanted to see who the jedi was that dared to attempt a assault. He finds his droids they are all encouraged by his presence alone. Plo Koon took shelter behind the 11 clones who are still alive they fight in circular mode (a defence based formation in ground warfare).
Few blaster fire has been returned from Plo's unit. Grievous ordered his super battle droids to fire rocket launchers at the clones. They do so and their attack successfully connected, even tearing vibro shields. Then to get rid of the last shield Grievous took a thin lasso (which was concealed in a compartment of his knee).
=
Plo Koon's death:
Using it he was able to snatch the shield out of the troopers arm and then ordered a volley of firing. But Commander Wolffe tossed four grenades before dying while the other clones jumped into save general Plo. The kel dor warrior challenges grievous to a fair solo duel "if you are truly the droid champion that you boast of being then face me!" he obliged and took out all four of his light sabers at once rushing towards his enemy.
The general did a reverse grip shien move with each of his arm's while Koon blocked with a djem so technique and then immediately went for the stomach of his enemy. Both engaged the other in combat under ten second's Grievous conducted 140 strikes which officially hacked Plo's body to 20 pieces. Grievous then said "not even worth bragging about" After gaining Plos light saber General Grievous left on his escape pod back to the headquarters of the Invisible Hand.
Leaving his droids on a stranded vehicle he did say "good bye we wont be meeting again" in his head Grievous was proud of how much stronger he got (over a year ago he had a fight with Plo Koon resulting in a standstill but now he far surpassed him) the cyborg has become a true legend by this moment.
Jocasta Nu is in a smaller pod (from the stolen capital ship) she is able to identify where Grievous landed and tries notifying Obi Wan Kenobi of the location (where he can land his vehicle) to capture Grievous. People think if grievous get's arrested then Palpatine can be freed with non violence through a hostage trade.
Current Length - 14 MINUTES.
========
The Invisible Hand in jeapordy.
While Grievous was away [for 5 minutes only] the cruiser [Invisible Hand] had taken severe damage during the battle as a result of 100 clone star ships barricading it in place from ten angle's. Causing reduction of power to the shield's & fragility to its outer coat of armor. Grievous again appealed to Dooku "oh count! we need to leave the orbit immediately announcing a tactical retreat.. if you just do as i say the war will be won.." Dooku shook his head & this only made Grievous upset.
Meanwhile General Anakin & General Obi-Wan evaded all starfighters, they were moving in a close pack heavily guarded by 60 clone troop's (piloting star ships to barricade the jedi generals from a separatist droid attack). kenobi told Anakin he was notified by Jocasta Nu that the flagship's deflector shields were still active "she was going to tell me something else but just then someone or thing disrupted our conversation."
In actuality Jocasta had been apprehended by a blue grapple droid in a room near the landing section. She was not able to use her light saber anymore as the droid was too close and took it from her. General Grievous was happy seeing a jedi in his custody who was alive. He intended on misusing this new captive.
However Skywalker with the knowledge of information from Obi Wan made his move. Which was to strike the Invisible Hand's atmospheric shield generator, lifting the shields around the main hangar bay and causing emergency blast doors to seal the breached hangar in seconds, but not before the Jedi Generals crash landed inside the Providence.
============
They made it (1 minute);
Gaining safe entry into the invisible hand the two jedi leave their starfighters. Anakin remorses over the death of all those clones, hoping that their sacrifice wont be in vain. Obi Wan tells him "dont worry... they knew the risk and took it... all we can do for them is move forward to the goal... to chancellor palpatine, to dooku, to grievous, to this wars end!"
CURRENT LENGTH: 18 MINUTES

The day dreams of a Count;
In his private chamber called "Wizards Tower" Dooku scourge of the Republic, leader of the Separatists is looking forward to what he believes will be a honorable captivity and graceful retirement. For him these last 37 months were like 20 years. He was tired of playing his role as the villain for so long. He can see a past where he went over the details of his masters new conspiracy.
Palpatine tells him "once i am set free then you will be a prisoner but the jedi must die first, after that you will be put on trial but i will agree to your terms involving a change in the Republic's set of laws" Dooku replies "i agree with your plot Sidious" it was revealed to the entire audience directly that Sidious is none other than palpatine himself.
===
What Dooku is told about the Grand Plan:
The Republic believing that Separatist system's will again merge with them will impose taxation for each world that fought for the Separatist cause. To enforce these taxes 3 thousand more jedi will have to depart from Coruscant adding onto the two thousand that are already their, leaving just a couple hundred at Coruscant. Since this war started the jedi order which boasted of having 10,000 knights has already been deducted to a 5,400.
But with this move most of the jedi knight's will be spread far too thin and unable to help eachother, thus they will be divided. But every knight is also surrounded by at least 15 clone troopers. Once order 66 is in motion then from all angles possible the knights will be attacked, any jedi outside of coruscant will die quickly.
But for the ones that remain in Coruscant they will adhere to the 2 most famous jedi of the era, Dooku and Anakin. One who was the hero of the republic the other who was the most formidable swordsman of the order before turning against them. The reputation of these two men will be able to sway whatever jedi that are on Coruscant (excluding Windu, Kenobi and Yoda).
The surviving jedi will pledge their allegiance to the darkside, anyone who refuses will get disposed of quicker than the eye can see. This perfect plan was formed by Palpatine aka Darth Sidious.
CURRENT LENGTH: 21 MINUTES and 35 second's.
=========
Dooku talking to Sidious;
The count say's "After order sixty six occurs, the clones would kill all jedi that were doing their business in the Outer Rim and Mid Rim Territories. While Coruscant will face internal warfare. The jedis who agree with us will kill other jedi and senators. Out of this chaos the Republic will destroy itself and be converted into a Empire changing the Galaxy for better.
Palpatine says "the final step of this war of 3 years and 1 month will commence now" Dooku then said "might i request we give Kenobi a final chance? it is a risk but personally i'd prefer him over Skywalker as i know one of them has to die... and he is more intelligent in comparison. No matter how much of a enemy he's been to us we can't ignore the fact he killed your former apprentice Darth Maul... his power and potential is why i make this appeal master.."
Sidious (palpatine) told him "kenobi's too indoctrinated to the jedi order, he is more stubborn and anakin came in the jedi order later, he actually saw the outside world before being brainwashed by the jedi... you did multiple schemes to turn him... but never did it work.. he doesnt even have the potential that skywalker does.. kenobi supports a corrupt organization anyway... so NO"
Dooku then said "fine! i am going to do it... he wont survive this time... i will not give him any more chances, im done trying to convert him" Palpatine said "Then prove it! stop making mistakes." Dooku replied "Actions speak louder than words! .. Today not just your eyes but 6 eyes, mine and anakin's, will see Obi Wans dead body!..."
CURRENT LENGTH: 23 MINUTES and 40 seconds.
======
Grievous learns of his enemy's entry:
Commander Ithano reports "Two Jedi have landed in the main hangar bay... they are from the same human species that Count Dooku appears to be from" Grievous told himself in his head "just as count dooku predicted" Grievous then orders Ithano "prevent any other jedi from entering, make sure that the clones dont enter either!"
Ithano asked "what about you?" Grievous said "i am going to face the enemy" grievous thinked "Anakin the hero with no fear... and the sith killer Obi Wan... they will be my greatest victory.." Ithano say's "but alone..." Grievous replied "stop worrying i had no partner to help me at Hypori on Coruscant or even in other battles" "grievous alone is more competent compared to an army"
Elsewhere the 2 generals (skywalker and obi wan) were walking slowly taking their time. Both look out window's and see the republic aircraft in outer space getting pummeled, torn apart, more clones and civilians of Coruscant alike getting killed their. Anakin said "if only i had been their! then this wouldnt have happened.... if i was on the planet when Grievous invaded he'd be dead and our chancellor secured"
Obi Wan told him "the council did the best they could... i doubt we could made a difference together in a planetary conflict our priority would be to prevent his army from killing civilians" Anakin scoffs at this "best? what was their best a mace windu and a yoda? who couldn't even prevent one man's capture? who were probably busy meditating, sleeping & wasting time...dont get me started on that lightweight Stass Allie..."
Just before Obi Wan says anything in return 3 Droideka's come toward the jedi pair.
CURRENT LENGTH - 25 Minute's & 30 second's.
===
Droideka conflict;
They ignited their light sabers and protected themselves from blaster bolt's, each droideka shot 4 bolt's per second, together it was basically 12 shots. Anakin found it a huge hindrance, he struggled but was able to protect himself, he decided to begin using the Shien grip to reflect the bolt back at its caster. Kenobi however appeared to be comfortable applying his Soresu technique he was able to slowly walk toward's the droidekas while preventing any of their blaster fire from touching his skin.
One droideka began targeting the fingers of obi wans hands (he held his light saber hilt in a two handed grip) but obi wan was too quick he deflected whatever was fired at him. Anakin tried reflecting the bolt backwards but Droidekas were armed with bubble like shields, he then decided to apply telekinesis levitating one droideka. Then slamming it into another. Getting close to the final droideka Kenobi slashed it four times with his weapon.
After that the jedi pair made their way to a location where they saw six different doors, three were elevator's, two led to staircases, one more led to a hall, the hall is where they choose to go as Obi Wan used Force Sense (which let him know dooku was above that hall) if they could capture Dooku they would then be able to negotiate a exchange of hostage's.
But anakin told him "why wouldnt that count hide his presence from us? why make himself visible? think! by now he already knows we are here so this could be a trap..." Kenobi replied "their is no alternative in our situation anakin"
CURRENT LENGTH - 26 Minutes and 50 seconds.
====
Reluctantly anakin walked with obi wan, side by side they saw about 6 droids of the B1 series & hacked their way through them all with blue light saber's in their hands. As they walked the two men left behind dismantled durasteel and torn up machines of wheat complexion. Then at last both stopped moving when anakin claimed he's hearing something trying to sneak up on them.
Obi Wan listened carefully. What they heard are foot taps of General Grievous who does it on purpose in times of conflict so he can intimidate anyone that opposes him. Anakin remembers the reports of other jedi on noises they would hear as Grievous approaches them right before he attacks them, few lived to tell about it.
Anakin wonders if it's time to meet that menacing creature who was nicknamed "terminator of jedi" But instead the noise stopped. And from the rear of the jedi a batch of 20 battle droid's rushed in front 20 more came all were B1 types. At last general grievous appeared before them both standing tall, determined & confident.
Another thing was being brought by 2 droids behind him, they were carrying a a old woman in light yellow robes on a chair 2 more droids with guns (incase she resists) were also their, thus the total is 45 droid's (including Grievous). The jedis know that the odds are wholly against them both.
CURRENT LENGTH - 28 minute's and 10 second's.
=====
DEATH of Jocasta Nu.
To guard themselves from all direction's in a 360 degree manner both jedi had their backs up against eachother and light saber's ignited. Grievous says "wont you look at who i have with me?" Obi Wan says "we dont care about your droid's... even in these odds we will fight to our last breath!" Anakin said "so youre general grievous? i used to build machines tougher than you when i was a kid"
Now the jedi heard the frightened noise of that woman who sounded all too familiar. Atlast recognizing it was Jocasta Nu in Grievous's custody he speaks "this's our first meeting anakin skywalker.. but you care more about a despicable hags agony instead of me.. not forgivable at all!" The white claw of Grievous's hand already scratched away the skin of master Jocasta's backbone.
He proceeded to rip her bone from bone & toss her skeletal remains on the faces of the jedi pair knowing that they wont defend with light sabers as that would likely defile Jocasta Nus corpse more. The two jedi, regarded as the greatest in the Republic {for that era}, the hero with no fear (Skywalker) and the sith killer (Kenobi) were unable to prevent this tragedy.
CURRENT LENGTH: 30 minute's
==
Obi Wan said "you will pay for that kaleesh!" Grievous laughed and announced "i am happy to meet both of you before your deaths!" "i showed you your future! i figured that instead of you doing the hard work by using the force for precognition maybe i should show you the future instead" Knowing their dire circumstances the jedi pair communicated by hand gesture's & signals.
Kenobi wanted to use the force to push Grievous away but Anakin whispered "he is expecting us to do that.. we need another way otherwise we wont be able to avoid gunfire.." (he moved his left robotic arm in a half circle motion) Grievous had been in intoxication considering this incident his victory he was staring at Anakin's face as he'd never had a meeting with him in person yet (but he met Obi Wan a few times).
Grievous told them "The jedi are not warriors... they are sorcerers faking bravery." The droids began firing however anakin & obi wan both ducked and thus being out of the area where the bolts were fired it was dealt to the B1 droid's on the opposite side, basically friendly fire. Anakin smiled and loudly said "grievous... your body's as fake as your pride!" he used his lightsaber to cut a circle in the floor under his feet.
While Kenobi at the same time prevented any blaster fire of the B1 droids from getting at anakin, he used Tutaminis with one arm and the lightsaber with the other, deflecting 21 blaster bolt's in 3 seconds.
Before Grievous could get close to them (he was trying to use his cape as a shield against blaster bolts of his own droids) both jedi fell in the ground beneath the circle.
Anakin ultimately saved them both like this, but now they're in a area with 3 feet of water in length. Kenobi believes it is a hydrofuel tank. However above them 37 of Grievous's droids filled with malice were still seeking to destroy them. A B1 droid aimed at the circular hole but Grievous restrained it and said "dont fire those are our fuel tanks! if they get ruptured our entire vehicle is gone! everyone loses then!"
General Grievous then called a repair droid to seal the hole up with Duraplastic (a material) incase the possibility of a blast ends up into a reality. Meanwhile Skywalker and Obi Wan are walking inside the water which recently passed their bellybuttons. Kenobi told anakin "we'd be stranded in oblivion if that punk fired at us"
The chosen one replies "a droid can live in outer space without oxygen but he would not be able to get to a nearby world without a star ship to help him, thats why grievous did not risk destroying the ship.. its called thinking ahead... in that sense me and him are alike so i know what im doing we're safe" Obi Wan said "me and you clearly do not have the same definition of the term safe"
CURRENT LENGTH: 33 Minute's and 20 second's.
===============
Grievous is still after them.
He informed Commander Ithano about what happened, Ithano decided to turn the electric discharges off in the fuel tank and raise the water levels in a attempt of drowning the two jedi. Dooku witnessed their status and wanted to prevent the jedi from dying before meeting him. Going to the generals headquarters he attacked Ithano (by using force control to prevent blood from flowing into his heart, shutting off his vein's). That's not all Dooku ordered that the electric discharges continue so they still have a fuel tank that functions.
Shocked at seeing this Grievous calmly told the old man "we are in a dire situation.... why would you attack your own ally?" Dooku then tells him "u are confused... i didnt attack him... i killed him" the General then said "we are risking our elixir... the greatest victory of the CIS may turn into their greatest defeat if you dont heed my advice instead!" Dooku further mentions "you will have to leave the jedi to me, that is final"
CURRENT LENGTH - 34 Minute's & 30 seconds
Jedi secure themselve's;
Anakin used the force to create a bubble of air, encasing Kenobi and himself inside it so they have oxygen to breathe in. Their condition improved when they saw a ladder & the water level decreased from se7en feet back to it's casual 3 feet. But aqua droids were already in the water going after them. Anakin became frustrated once he began climbing the ladder as it led nowhere, their didnt appear to be a escape route from this hydro tank area.
Obi Wan said "their has to be a hole from where those droids came in lets go in the opposite direction" they begin swimming (as in this circumstance it is a swifter choice than walking in water). However they were getting harassed by aqua droids attacking them (about four had surrounded the jedi pair from two direction's).
Each were 9 feet in height and from their wrist's each of them released a laser cannon however before they could fire a volley of dangerous attack's Obi Wan utilized the force ability "Ionize" to deactivate all of them. After that Anakin makes a "cheap federation droids" Though kenobi's action granted them both safety it also impeded the mind of Kenobi a bit, and he needed a couple of minutes to stabilize his mental health again.
CURRENT LENGTH - 35 Minute's & 50 seconds
By now Dooku had left General Grievous's headquarters and used a holoprojector to communicate with grievous as he himself was walking toward the location of Palpatine's captivity room. The general told him "I feel we should confront those jedi's together, or put the chancellor on a private space pod that is destined to reach a planetary base under Seperatist control"
Dooku said "you are prohibited to look at the conflict and lord Sidious desires that you not confront any jedi now before this fight is over" "if you still wanna disobey Sidious then keep your network connection to my holoprojector and the chancellors room or do the smart move and turn your connection off!"
Having no choice grievous turned it off and threw his holovid conjurer to a corner displaying his frustration and displeasure. After sitting down at a wheelchair he said to himself "i hope our allegiance to the hooded man does not cost us..."
CURRENT LENGTH:; 36 minutes and 40 seconds.
========
Out of water:
Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi climbed through the vault where those aqua droids entered into this hydrofuel tank, it was a safer route and the star cruiser/carrier (Invisible Hand) was still intact so not only were the jedi pair in full health but Palpatine their chancellor is most likely safe from any danger too.
The 2 heroes of the clone war finally landed on a dura steel floor, they felt more at home on this ground unfortunately their clothes (beneath their neck's) have become very wet due to war. If both wanted to gain success against Count Dooku in combat they need to have drier clothing otherwise dooku's force lightning would be amplified enough to burn them to ash.
Obi wan found a solution to use telekinesis on each other to manipulate the wind which will dry both men. After drying themselves they met another obstacle, two giant machines in blue complexion of the same shape as B2 Super Droid's but much taller.
A pair of Grapple Droids had been awaiting them the whole time. But rather then confront them now Anakin wants to go straight towards another room, he held Obi Wans arm forcing him to come with him, both entered a elevator nearby using force speed to bolster their bodies movement. After that they began pressing button's they saw. Obi Wan thinks "maybe he was right, fighting them would be a waste of time... why not just go for the king piece instantly?"
CURRENT LENGTH 38 minutes & 10 seconds.
======
The jedis ended up going five story's above their current level at Invisible Hand. They were moving closer to Wizards Toward (location of Dooku, Palpatine & Sidious). However once they left the elevator they met up with 2 other grapple droid's. Obi Wan said "we just can not avoid them, lets fight our way through instead"
Fight with the grapple droids described:
As anakin attacked with 2 handed Djem So hammer slash move the Grapple Droid crossed his arms to block it, anakin wondered if the forearms of the droid were forged from durasteel or vibro material? After three seconds of trying to push the droid back with a light saber attack and trying to harm its defences Anakin was instead shoved aside once the droid pushed its arms forward returning them to the side of it's hips in vertical form. Anakin did not lose his footing he was only force to step back thirteen steps. He then asked Obi Wan "do you have a plan my brother in arms?"
Unfortunately Obi Wan had been swinging his light saber in the air and the 22 yr old Knight (skywalker) thought his old master lost his sanity and went full on autistic mode. Anakin did not realise that Obi Wan actually had been fighting the other Grapple Droid (it was using a cloaking device so most people with eyeball's can not see it) whose presence he had sensed through force usage (feeling other robots movement through air vibration's).
With a pincer weapon in its right hand the invisible grapple droid struck Obi Wan at his upper chest region. The impact resulted in Obi Wans body jumping up out of a habitual reaction and him falling down on his spine/back. Anakin kept up his attack, slashing away at any body part of the Grapple Droid who selected him as a foe.
Kenobi was not on a offensive but he did employ defensive movement's to prevent himself from wasting any stamina (he wanted to be prepared for a potential encounter with dooku/grievous). For a long time this fight went on (it appears as merely a minute in the movie but for those characters they were fighting so long that it was actually 7 minute's).
Then as his opponent was dismantled into spare part's Anakin revisioned the fight in his mind and wondered when exactly did he start gaining the advantage, he told Kenobi "i got it Obi Wan! their weakness is in the joints which connect their waist to their upper thigh!" Obi Wan tried cutting through and it worked for him as well, but despite losing a leg this Grapple Droid still fought only now he was visible and could be seen (the cloaking device had it's limit).
CURRENT LENGTH: 41 MINUTE'S.
==========
Last conversation between Dooku and Sidious;
Palpatine says "at certain times i wish i was grievous... being allowed to publicly fight jedi confront and humiliate them... but i know that my feeling is wrong so i choose not too, if i reveal myself then the sith grand plan will be in jeapordy" Dookus lip on one end was up but down on the other end indicating he was frowning but also smirking.
The man had happiness and unhappiness at the same time he responded "i fear that the general might jeopardize this plan though... he is very greedy, he desires to fight anakin" Sidious (palpatine) tells Dooku "you dont keep him on a tight enough leash... but i am certain all his dreams will be fullfilled" smiling Palpatine then sat down on the chair and pretended to be a captive, before this he was standing meters away from the chair and having a conversation with Tyranus (dooku's psuedo name).
He said "go back to your chamber! i can feel them both coming, after they talk to me then come out!" Using the force himself Palpatine manipulated the cuffs putting them on his wrists, locking himself in place to make his capture look more believable. And the two jedi walked in a minute after count dooku had left.
Current Length so far - 42 minute's 30 second's.
===========
Meeting Palpatine:
Coming out of another elevator the jedi reach Palpatine (who the audience should know by now is none other than Sidious himself) and Anakin greets him with a smile on his face Obi Wan looks around and in the upper rear to see if they're surrounded or not in case this is a trap. Palpatine is asked by Skywalker "how is your body feeling chancellor? were you harmed in any vital spots?"
Palpatine remained motionless and unresponsive, anakin wonders what grievous, dooku or other separatist's did to turn the condition of the brave peaceful man he once knew to a speechless mute.. the very thought of it made his young blood boil and a iota of Force Rage sparked in his heart. Eventually Palpatine did respond "i am not fine, i just dont believe my escape will be possible now... unless you could contact a clone commando to crash an AirShip on the window behind me."
Anakin replied "we lost our comlink device but it's not a problem.. you see all we have to do is capture dooku and grievous then you will be free on your own" Kenobi asked "but are you alright? did u have a conversation with any one? and how much do you know about the invisible hand? maybe your knowledge can help us get out of here safely and we can then after our departure we can explode this ship to end Grievous, Dooku and Ithano's existence"
Kenobi was clueless (he didnt know that ithano was killed by dooku already). Palpatine responded "i think both of you should be more worried about the old man behind you.." The jedi turned around and saw dooku who was on their back's accompanied by two battle droid's of the B1 series. Anakin confidently told Sidious "this is not a problem" "and it wont take too long" "today this punk is going down"
The count leapt using force falling jump and landed on his feet, he then stood up tall and slowly walked towards the heroes of the Republic, the jedi pair, which was rumored to be the Galaxy's best team. Many other B1 droid's were hidden in the rooms and doors (which would come out of their cage at a button of Dooku).
=======
Conversation before the fight;
Dooku thought "after killing obi wan i will turn skywalker over to the dark side and willingly go with the man as a prisoner" He says "you should hand your light sabers over immediately, unless you wanna get put in your place again" Obi Wan replies "you wont get away this time dooku" The count said to him "get away? you fool dont you realise that anakin and you have made it this far only because i allowed it?!? this was all a ploy, i protected you from being submerged under water in that hydrofuel tank by ending Ithanos life"
Dooku told them "all so that i could meet both of you before your deaths." Anakin said "thank you for making a dumb mistake then..." he had a very big smile on his face "we'll make sure you get more disappointed than you ever have been in your entire life" igniting his light saber anakin then claimed "either of us alone can kill you but we'll come together this time" Obi Wan says "i know why you brought those droids... its because you cant win fairly so you're gonna cheat" Dooku replies "really? unless one of you is carrying Yoda in his pocket i dont see any reason to be a cheater"
Then turning to Anakin he said this while Kenobi turned his light saber on "Skywalker! we have been through this already... on the worlds of Genosis, Alderaan, Hisseen & Zygerria... when did you not lose? .. in what world have you ever won? On Eiattu 6 both of u fought me together and lost!" Anakin's smirk turned into a frown within half a second... he remembers being depressed a year ago due to his lack of success in fighting the Count.
But his former master was their to back him Obi Wan said "this time you'll be fighting both of us we will tire you out and make sure you wont get anywhere old man"

Dooku told Kenobi "just because theirs 2 of you don't assume you have a advantage... their were two of you in two of our previous encounters right? or are you suffering from memory loss?" Then Anakin said "yeah we know... because their are two of you too... we found your partner sidious and locked him away for good now you cant control the senates move" Dooku then said "if i knew that you were this ignorant i would've told Grievous to kidnap Amidala instead of the chancellor!" pointing his left index finger at anakin.
Anakin shocked a bit wondering if he knows, decided to just play along and say "it seems like you admitted that you were ignorant cause you didnt know enough about me" the count ignited a curved hilt blade in his right arm and said "come at me Anakin.. this will be your only chance"
=
Remembering what their plan was;
Obi wan recalls the small talk he had with anakin after they had slain the Grapple Droid's. As one droid was standing on 1 leg jumping up and down trying to get near him Obi Wan used telekinesis to make it fall under it's own weight.
Coming towards the elevator as Kenobi pressed the button which to signal this elevator to lead them close to the place "Wizard's Tower" anakin told him "when we fight dooku then i will aim for his right leg, you will aim for the back of his left leg, being surrounded he'll be too vulnerable to not lose"
Obi Wan agreed by nodding toward anakin he said "we should also try luring him into a fake sense of security by using our weaker styles first, dooku will fight with a bad mindset he will be countering my ataro and your shien reverse... but when the moment is apt we will switch our technique to using our main style's i will do Soresu and you will engulf him in Djem So"
Anakin smiled "youre right.... he wont be able to adapt against our real technique in time" Jumping to the present now their fight had begun.
Length currently 49 minute's & 15 second's.
============
Count Dooku's final battle.
Disclaimer - Until the fight is over the following "Present Length" given at a 'parts end' will be only for this fight. After that the movie scripts full length will be shown again.
Part 1;
All three men swiftly made their moves with their swords. Obi Wan did a horizontal slash attack with one arm (he used his left hand) Dooku was in front of him but for dooku he was on the right side while anakin was on the left side. Speaking of which using the reverse grip anakin jamp up and coming down attempted a slice move with his right arm a attack done by Shien users only.
Wanting to prevent Kenobi from reaching his rear Dooku walked closer in front of anakin and evaded his shien attack, now behind him was palpatine but in the front is anakin and obi wan. The next four second's were spent in dooku trading blows with both swordsmen. Red light saber against blue light sabers.
Anakin tried horizontal swings obi wan tried combining his acrobatic skill with ataro bladework doing vertical slash attack move's, Dooku merely parried them all, meeting them blow for blow, using his footwork he prevented either of them from attacking his rear. Dooku protected him self with his curved lightsaber, then when he tried a counter attack in the midst of a strike dooku pressed a button in his sabre hilt.
His button altered the angle from which the sabre will attack the opponent, anakin barely saved himself by hastily moving he parried the attack. Skywalker was still using the reverse grip but 2 handed rather than 1 handed this time, it looked like he was trying to squeeze his light saber hilt. Now Kenobi interfered by doing a force push knocking the saber hilt off Dooku's grip.
Count Dooku now relied on force lightning, two blasts from both arms, one on Kenobi one against Anakin, though anakin could use the sabre to deflect it Kenobi was not so lucky as Dooku cleverly aimed for the mans finger's when firing lightning. Effectively charring the hand's of Obi Wan he was again very confident however Anakin began coming close to him. Dooku was glad to do the same to anakin he telekinetically pulls the curved light saber back in his palm. Both swung their weapons at eachother hard.
While Anakin yet another flurry of saber slashes (in Shii Cho style this time) as he at times parried or avoided the attack moves Count Dooku wondered why even though anakin heard about his Makashi he uses a technique that is too weak compared to his own. Dooku attempted a counter strike (aiming for anakin's left ear) the young man was very quick so he avoided the sword.
On the other end (area close to the chair where Chancellor Palpatine's imprisoned) Kenobi was trying to do a power called "Force Surge" in a vain goal of empowering himself to overcome damage that lightning did to the skin cells on his finger's.
So far - 1 minute 45 second's.
===========
PART 2;
Recalling his friend's plight Anakin bolstered himself with anger, the wrathful Knight decided to still rely on the Shien form. He attempted to strike Dooku 4 times in one second, repeating this attempt for ten second's straight his target was both shoulders of Dooku, it was very predictable due to how reduntant anakin became. Another factor leading to skywalker's failure was that reverse grip slashes of the Shien form left it's user (in this case Anakin himself) vulnerable to counter attacks.
Timing his move Dooku did a swift strike at Anakin's left hand (which still had flesh in it) to save the only arm which lacked robotic pieces in it Anakin decided to drop his lightsaber and step back, only a third of a second in between from the time of him dropping his sabre hilt & dooku's sabre connecting thus Dooku swung at air itself and missed anakins weapon/arm.
Using telekinesis with his right arm (the cybernetic one) Anakin gained ownership of his blade again Dooku came in closer proximity of Skywalker his right hand squeezed onto anakin's left hand both men tried crushing eachothers palm while dooku guarded against anakin's right arm (which contained the blue light saber) a power struggle continued between these men. While Obi Wan at this point relieved of his wound came to return in the fight.
Kenobi tried to employ a mixture of Niman & Ataro by striking at legs of Dooku to keep him offbalanced and guessing. However dooku while guarding himself against Skywalker's reverse grip attacks evaded the attack on his leg's by jumping up and using both legs for kicking the right shoulder and leftside of Kenobi's chin. During the same time he made sure on not moving his blade from the centimeter distance it was near to the heart of Skywalker.
This led to Anakin stopping his reverse grip slash attack from connecting with dooku's neck as his heart was in jeopardy now. Dooku says "using the shien moves of Nikko Tyris?" Obi Wan attacked yet again he was aiming to sever dooku's torso instead he ended up cutting the bottom half of the Count's cape off as Dooku turned around he wanted to get at anakin's rear side to keep him under check. But he used his sabre to knock dooku's blade away from the proximity of his heart.
He was in front of dooku (when the cape had been severed) but could not get his weapon close enough to dooku's body due to how the count used telekinesis and force speed at the same time (speed for running, telekinesis for controlling the metal hilt of anakin's light saber).
At this point Dooku's was back turned to a wall on the bottom of the room's left corner, but Anakin understanding the counts style (of luring a enemy to locations and fields that suit him) chose not to pursue. Obi Wan tells dooku "you retreated thirteen step's back however theirs no room to run further, you wont escape"
So far - 2 minutes 35 seconds.
=========
PART 3
Dooku say's "you dont get it! now the advantage is completely mine.. i tried making things easy for you but now you are no longer safe" Anakin wanted to go forward a couple steps to hemm the count in... but he sensed it was a trap and that he has something up his sleeve. However his friend Kenobi behaved out of character and went straight for Dooku, running as quick as he could.
Kenobi employed 6 ataro slash attacks (within 2 second's), most of which got parried by Dooku who then tried countering by increasing his sabre's length and aiming for causing harm to Kenobi's ear, to dooku's surprise however Kenobi switched forms immediately to a defence type posture, dooku tried attacking using the makashi technique.
But after three second's he understood that Kenobi's new form was Soresu and Anakin was coming close, as he holds Kenobi's counter attacks off Dooku telekinetically influenced wind & did a casual force wave at Anakin (who was already a meter close to him). Skywalker had a force guard up, which prevented dookus attack from being a success.
Kenobi tried to attack dooku's elbow as Anakin was conducting various Djem So movements which were strength oriented. While the count was parrying Kenobi's offence he decided to intercept any attack of Anakin by moving to Kenobi's left and using a power move to push Kenobi's sword to anakins light saber. thus three weapons colliding with eachother (obiwans in center).
Anakin changed his technique instead choosing to go close to the back (where dooku was) while dooku (still at the side on anakin's right and obi wan's left) switched saber handles (doing right arm initially now using his left arm) then anakin was targeting the feet of Dooku while obiwan tried getting at dooku's belly with a saber move.
So far - 3 minutes 23 seconds.
=====
The counts body reacted within a tenth of a second when the skin felt light sabers a centimeter away Dooku retreated to his left coming up at Skywalker under a quarter of a second he did a stab move signaling anakin that hes aiming for his eye as anakin changed himself to a defencive position (thus stopping his own attack) dooku within a fifth of a second pressed a button on his curved hilt (which decreased his weapon's length) he then parried the saber slash of Obi Wan (which was going to hit his belly. Realising the Count had tricked him again Anakin was angry.
Dooku had by that point used force speed to run back, the person closest to him was Kenobi who in his element kept up the chase, he was met by a burst of Sith Lightning that came out of dookus left hand, while obi wan jumped out of the way (thus evading) anakin who was at his rear got hurt by lightning that amplified his anger further.
He invoked the power called "Force Rage" to kenobi's shock by the time he landed instead of continuing his lightning charge and stepping backwards instead Count Dooku willingly stopped firing lightning once he understood anakin was on the receiving end. Not wanting to lose the moment (dooku saw that obi wan is stuck in confusion for at least three seconds) he made his move again stepping forward to Kenobi.
So far - 3 minutes 47 seconds (thats how it is shown onscreen but for these characters it has not been that long).
==
PART 4
Anakin was all over him, the young Knight immediately targeted count dookus blade and it fell back, nearly coming out of his arm Dooku gripped the hilt very tightly and parried strikes of anakin, however it seemed as if each strike was more dangerous than the last one. Dooku's stamina had finally caught up with him too, he used alot of mental strength in evading the last blow of the team.
Anakin in these five seconds had done at least 15 if not 17 power slashes and it seemed like he did not lose any of his vigour. Though he prevented the blue light from touching his skin, Dooku's wrist was nearly bent as he crumbled under his attempt to defend from these attacks. What is worse was that Kenobi returned and he struck at the Count's face, trying to attack his "Zygomatic" bone.
However dooku was quick enough to prevent serious damage and the light saber of Kenobi ended up touching Dooku's left mandible bone instead, effectively slicing a piece of his beard off his face. While anakin who in the front aimed for his enemies neck but sliced off the remainder of Dooku's cape instead (the upper side was left).
Kenobi asks "hows your jawline doing mate?" Finally noticing his beard was minorly cut by Obi Wan's blade Dooku became angry. The Count contemplated in his head "THESE JOKERS MIGHT ACTUALLY BEAT ME" Dooku then parried both attempts made by the Jedi pair (sword slashes) he failed to penetrate Obi Wans lightsaber barrier despite trying to do counter attacks ten times in 10 seconds.
He realized they deceived him by using other technique's. He then used the force to stop anakins saber hilt from moving a inch so the jedi Knight wouldnt be able to inflict a wound on his body. Dooku also telekinetically influenced the sabre hilt by removing the lightsaber crystal from it, while Obi Wan was trying to attack the Humerus bone (above Dookus left fore arm).
========
Anakin was stuck doing mechu deru on his hilt so the crystal would reconnect and his lightsaber would be rebuilt. While Obi Wan tried attacking him Count Dooku just evaded though force valor (an ability) then he got near Anakin (whose almost finished repairing his weapon) dooku put his blade close to skywalker's throat, now anakin was at his mercy.
Palpatine thought "it is unlikely he will kill anakin... but maybe hes trying to show me that he is the superior fighter..?" Now Obi Wan's light saber was right of dooku's neck whose curved sabre was on the left corner of anakin's throat. The two fellows that had their necks in danger slowly stepped aside out of that vulnerable zone.
Anakin gave his regards to Kenobi and ignited his blade again, dooku immediately attacks Anakin who guard's himself with Djem So and Obi Wan tries coming at Dookus legs again. He merely sidestepped every slash attempted by Obi Wan (he could tell that Dooku was losing stamina slowly). Anakin seemed to be pushing dooku back with sabre slashes.
Obi Wan knew Dooku would step back to the stairs above them so he tried jumping above and then running down to strike Dooku. Though stuck defending himself against Skywalker's power attacks Dooku was well aware of the bearded fellow behind him. And he got behind anakin so kenobi would also be face to face infront. He tells them "i have no blind spot kids!"
So far - 4 minutes 50 seconds.
=======
PART 5
As anakin stepped closer to him dooku aimed to target obi wan but instead in the middle of his attack he turned his target and aimed for anakin's leg who guarded himself the moment he sensed anakin was about to defend himself Dooku went to confront Obi Wan only for Anakin to strike at his back the count lowering himself ducked thus preventing the attack of Skywalker from reaching him, then he leaps to go right behind Palpatine's chair.
He knew that anakin & obi wan ended up running into eachother (their swords clashed against eachothers unintentionally). Obi Wan also had been frustrated with the duel and did a power move (before dooku ran away) both jedi stopped their attacks and told the Count you should come out and face us bravely instead of being a coward.
The count eventually came forward after doing a force surge (which encased him in red bubbles of energy to give himself a boost) that took him 6 seconds. Obi wan rushed to Dooku's right, anakin rushed at his left, dooku made it his mission to meet obi wans attack first and use his weapon as a shield against anakins but it did not work (as Anakin side stepped to meet his rear) he saw a need to alter his technique too.
Within half a second he struck at the 2nd weakest point of the blue light (anakins weapon) which would not be the hilt (region of the sword which is closest to the handle is the 2nd weakest) knowing that he would be able to parry the attack easier. Dooku also moved his leg a bit (knowing Obi Wan may target it), he then moved his right hand (the curve sabre was in his left arm) to make Obi wan believe hes going to do Sith Lightning only to then drop his right leg and instead kick the chest of Obi Wan using his left leg.
Anakin was kept in a blade lock with Dooku the whole time, he tried penetrating his defences by targeting the old man's shoulder. With a tick of his finger the length of Dooku's lightsaber increased to the point where it made contact a few millimeters to Anakins nose grazing it, he instantly kicked Count Dooku in the stomach when he felt red light on his skin he did feel pain.
Anakin feels if he delayed the kick for even a fraction of another second then he might've lost another bone. By this point dooku's vigour & stamina had decreased to 71 percent of it's original value (close to the 80 percent of Anakin/Obiwan).
Sidious thought "if dooku at his best was 100, anakin and kenobi at their bests are 85, then at their current levels dooku's energy would be 71. Obiwan/Skywalker are both now each 68, either can potentially outlast dooku if his energy lowers, but if that happens then my plan will fail." Sweating on his fore head Palpatine was angered.
So far - 5 minute's 26 seconds.
=============
By this point Dooku rose back on his feet (multiple second's ago) he told anakin "youre running short of limbs skywalker!" Anakin aimed for the right breast of his enemy, this attack was almost a success as it got three milimeters in the skin of Count dooku. He retreated instead of guarding against this saber attack cause Obi Wan levitated a chair in the left corner of the room at Dookus blade so no parry could be done.
Kenobi told Anakin "we're younger than him and our stamina's been tested in battles more often than Count Dooku's our stamina decreases at a far less rate than his" Anakin still frown's (he's displeased at all the trouble his opponent has been causing him). Palpatine had a smile on his face (faking happiness) but was really angry deep inside. He feel's like dooku is focusing too much on ending anakins life instead of doing his job (murdering Kenobi).
So far - 5 minute's 48 second's.
===
Deciding that he was done retreating (anakin was too close) the Count used "Force Flight" (the art of Levitation) to walk on the air above their heads thus flying, he was close to the rooms ceiling. Dooku warned Anakin and Kenobi "if you dare to throw your sabre's at me here then the B1 droids at the bottom will kill the Chancellor, he is in their range." Anakin tells Kenobi "we shouldnt allow him to heal himself" Kenobi says "you guard the chancellor ill take dooku" as he roamed in the tower anakin prevented any blaster fire from reaching palpatine.
On the other hand Kenobi did a force wave with both arms (he had to let go of his light saber first). The Count by this point already increased his energy from 70 to 75 he absorbed the power of Kenobi's force attack by doing a technique called "Tutaminis" nullifying the winds impact.
Though dooku could've pushed kenobi back (a window was behind Obi Wan, that would leave them all with no oxygen) he decided to keep this energy within his own body for the moment. The Count said to Obi Wan "Typical jedi! .. brave.. but stupid!..." Dooku was now at a power level of 79, he continued healing himself but anakin at this point had cut down all B1 droid types (their were 2 of them).
=
By this point Lord Sidious (Chancellor) who was watching everything got bored and yawned. He chose against using telepathy (as it might lower dookus power if he replies to sidious) and instead spoke out loud using his voice said "kill him!"
Anakin/Obi Wan think Palpatine wants them to kill dooku but they dont know hes indirectly telling dooku in a safer clear manner to end the life of Kenobi).
Length currently - 6 minute's 25 second's.
==
Dooku planned on it, he however saw obi wans light saber tossed at him (in form of saber throw) and attempted to go down on the floor instead of trying to parry attack he wanted to evade it. Seeing anakin on the floor waiting for him to land. Abandoning his levitation position the Count dropped himself at a spot where the jedi least expected him to land.
The stair case, on top was Anakin on bottom walking up is Obi Wan, they both immediately charged at him. Since he was running downward Anakin gained momentum, and Count Dooku manipulated his impetus against him, slightly evading the attack of skywalker he influenced the staircase letting the young man fall down by two meter's.
=
PART 6.
As the count guarded against a slash of Kenobi he told Anakin (who had gotten back up) "you will now experience true swordsmanship!" after running from Kenobi half a second later Dooku intercepted a sword attack of Skywalker, kicked him in the face and told Obi Wan "you are no match for the dark side!" he used force stun effectively nulling his sense's and then he blocked all the moves of Anakin & levitated Obi Wan's body away to the side (right of palpatine, left of anakin) of the room. The other three pairs of ear's (6 ears belonging to Sidious, Anakin, Dooku) heard a painful sound.
Sidious wanted to hold himself back from smirking but Dooku was instantly attacked by Anakin. The recent incidents left the count drained further (by five percent, now he was at a energy lvl of 76). The power of Anakin grew (he went from 67 to 75) yet Dooku was fending off anakins counters and kicks by retreating.
LENGTH SO FAR - 6 minute's 56 second's.
==
The Count was being pressed back slowly by Anakins power slash's & he had to rely on two handed grips for parrying these attacks. Anakin tried to kick dooku many times, whenever dooku would try a sword attack near anakin's foot then he would block the attack move with djem so & gain the needed momentum which would amplify his counter attack pushing dooku further back to the point where he could not parry, defend or guard from the brutal strength of Djem So. A result of Skywalker's blade moving around so much more aggressively just added on to the power output of his attack move's. Count Dooku was hurt by the kick's that made it and his left elbow/tricep were nearly touched by the light saber of Anakin.
He was getting desperate by now so he utilized "Force Fatigue" dooku wanted skywalker to slow down mentally and physically so incase things turn for the worse then at least anakin wont be able to kill him.
For this he needed both arms to be free, during this point he turned his weapons light off. Somehow the force exhaustion ability did work & Anakins thought's became clouded, his movement slowed. He was vulnerable.
But being the chosen one Anakin broke out of it, his thoughts were no longer clouded and his brain was freed from the nulling of its full capability. He was able to break away from Dooku's trick by doing a force scream, yelling repeatedly to the highest form of his lungs.
This even damaged the connection of Lord Sidious briefly (his connection to the darkside of the force), sidious thought "maybe now dooku will realize how outclassed he was"
PRESENT LENGTH - 7 minute's 39 second's.
===
Current Power Level's:
Anakin Skywalker - 84
Count Dooku - 73
What went on in his head; Count believes he can still win this through discipline and better skill. But he also understands his goal should be to change anakins outlook on the force and turn him to the darkside. For that however dooku thinks he might need to humble anakin in a fight so he would respect the darkside a bit better.
===
The last stand of Count Dooku:
Anakins force yell was terrifying but unable to faze the Count due to his force shield which guarded against any negative effect of the force scream, while sidious did not have such a guard because he wanted to make sure no one suspects that he is palpatine or senses his force connection. Dooku's ear, connection to the force was all safe & sound. The Count next told Anakin "you are just as persistent as your mother... but more clumsy" after that remark Anakin ran to him and they clashed sabers once more. Dooku relying on slower well controlled movements that would block Skywalker's attack wanted to stop using force speed as it appeared to affect the stamina reservoir he had now.
While guarding he even said "how did she look on her deathbed boy? the tusken raiders told me that they put Shmi in her place! i paid them too..." Dooku grinned as he put an end to his word as rage boiled growing like a volcano in the heart of Anakin Skywalker. With a power attack he managed to cut the right arm of dooku. Then he grinned and smiled in a gluttonous way telling him "after 37 months i finally returned the favor you gave me!"
[27 SECONDS]
CURRENT LENGTH; 8 minute's 6 seconds.
=
One armed Count:
Dooku says "a gentle man can fight one handed!" and continues his fight by turning his saber off and then turning it back on while pressing the other button (which double's his blade length) simultaneously aiming at Anakin's right ear to catch the man off guard. The move almost actually worked but Anakin was fast enough to evade it once it got within two millimeters reach of his ear skin.
Anakin tells him "a neat trick! but it wont save you" they clashed once again, sabre against sabre, dookus lvl was getting lower (he's at 65 now) he had very good control which let him deal with anakins power (82 is his current LvL). Anakin did not have as much control so he is not able to completely dominate his opponent.
Eventually after he parried various fencing moves Anakin cut off the Count's right ear and told him "give up dooku! its over.." The Count then told him "i surrender myself.. to you.." Anakin cut off the other arm Dooku had (anakin believed count dooku might try shooting him with lightning) then he used telekinesis to grab the curved light saber and hold both weapon's.
Length NOW - (8 MINUTES 27 SECONDS).
=
Sidious told the magick word:
As dooku is on the floor helpless he tells Palpatine "what will happen to me now?" Palpatine told Anakin "you must kill him now!" "dont think about.. it just do it!" Dooku thinks over this he realises that he was just a pawn all along in the grand plan of the Sith. The true mastermind Palpatine will eventually throw anakin away as he too is a pawn. This man Sidious never planned to have Dooku as a co ruler who would lord over this new empire by his side like a brother.
Anakin has a flashback of qui gon jinn talking to him when he was a kid, he told him "my mentor was the count of Serreno, a very honorable and esteemed jedi sword master who served 1 term on the high council but never felt like he fit in... he is like the father i never had, i hope to introduce you to him.. i wonder if you would learn even more from him than i did.."
He then he finally snaps out of it and overhear's what Palpatine (Sidious) told skywalker "kill him!" Anakin Skywalker is very anxious to do something but says to the chancellor "... i should not... he could be used as a hostage to end this war, save trillions of lives and people in the galaxy.." Dooku wanted to say something he spoke a word that started with the letter "W" but before he could finish one word he was shut up, it seemed like Sidious was using force connection telepathically in a psychic manner which prevented the Count from speaking.
Dooku felt as if he lost his voice Anakin was encouraged by Palpatine "think about your mom! remember her suffering my son!" and Anakin did it, beheading the scourge of the Republic, the CIS hero, the king of separatist's the only rival to Sidious's throne... Count Dooku now dead.

Length; this end's the 10th minute from when the fight with dooku started.
Movies length so far - 1 hour, 15 second's [11 minutes + 49 minute's 15 seconds]
Now the time span of the script will be less difficult for every reader to understand.

Continuation:
Turning off the light sabers in his hand's Anakin unlocked the key to Palpatine's freedom. Kenobi was alive, though just barely able to shake his body he moaned and fainted again losing his consciousness. Sidious was freed from captivity he told Anakin "thank you so much for getting rid of my restraints! now no one can question your ability!" they hug each other. Anakin asked him "do you know enough about the invisible hand to get us out of here alive on a vehicle?" Palpatine said "yes anakin... but only by destroying Grievous can we possibly obtain a escape pod!" Anakin asked "what about obi wan?" "i sense hes not dead yet... i learned from Jabiim"
Sidious replied "leave him here.. its what he wouldve wanted, he always preaches about jedi not having attachments.. and the primary objective is what matters, he cared more about my security and stopping this war than his life.. if you die then the Republic wont have a hero that is a counter to Grievous"
Though shocked anakin rejected this advice "it may be the intelligent option.. but i can not agree to it... his fate will be the same as ours and thats final, we leave together as three beings not one or two" taking away the curved weapon of count dooku, he placed it on his belt on his waist.
Then a few minute's passed by and a security droid arrived to the wizard's tower (location of dookus personal base of operations) this machine saw the corpse of Count Dooku and various dismantled torn up droid companion's. This droid reported the matter/discovery to the only person he could (Grievous).
Length - 1 Hour, 1 minute 30 second's.

GRIEVOUS'S REACTION TO DOOKU DYING:
Notified that Obi Wan, Anakin and even Palpatine were out of the hangar and moving currently he looked at his camera again to see in the hangar. What he saw nearly rattled him, dooku's condition a beheading and loss of both arms. He didnt believe it was a possible event, but grievous then boosted his own morale and told himself wishful thinking "Based on his previous decisions the count likely was over confident and went easy on them.. even in my spars with dooku i didnt use all my hand's... few people besides dooku know i have four.."
"It's possible the jedi are less tough after this encounter, they must've been wounded by the Count before his death!" grievous hoped he was correct.. He then told himself "instead of relying on the plots of a hooded figure i dont know enough about (referring to 'Sidious') it is better for me to save my golden treasure and end the 2 plagues of my life, the jedi pair will not survive this encounter. But just to be safe i will have 10 droids & two guards accompany me"
He began going on a rampage searching the rooms around wizard tower. Once Grievous left his headquarters to deal with a threat a couple of Neimodian guards in that compartment were worried about a possibility of their vehicle dismantling.
Length - 1 Hour, 2 minute's 50 seconds.
====
Anakin, Obi Wan & Palpatine get a move on:
Palpatine and Anakin (who had obi wan on his back) are going down a ladder trying to find a escape route. Using his left mechanical arm to hold one of kenobi's arms firmly Anakin used his flesh/humane hand to hang on the rungs (lines of ladder) each time he tries to move lower and lower on the ladder. He tells himself "i might not be able to protect my chancellor and my master in a situation like this.." but he keeps going lower with Palpatine behind him until they see a door which anakin opens.
Sidious told him "it would be better for us to end Grievous" anakin replied "in my condition i might not be able to fight him..." they both keep walking anakin continued to say "you and I both know that its been my personal dream to get rid of that monster for more than 2 years.." as Obi Wan awakens getting back on his feet Anakin continues "im telling the truth it would be better for us to escape the Invisible Hand instead of trying to bite off more than we can chew"
Palpatine says "so the chosen one is not as tough as we all think..?" Anakin does not reply until he hears the voice of Obi Wan "where are we?" Anakin says "thank goodness you are awake master.. i rescued our chancellor.." Kenobi says "thats great.. and how is Count Dooku?" Anakin said "he is not alive anymore, i have the trophy to prove it.."
Anakin showed Obi Wan the classic curved royal hilt weapon & did a few makashi moves with it like he showed off abit Obi Wan told him "alive he could have been helpful to us as a prisoner.." Palpatine interrupted "the man left us no choice... he threatened anakins life, my life and every senator of the Senate.." Anakin says "can we discuss this later? the ship we are on may soon break apart" Obi Wan said "their is too much of a disparity between our thoughts... you dont know death is already near us! if you used your force hear then you would know this Anakin"
He saw the direction where Kenobi was pointing with his right thumb 12 jetpack droid's came close to them, notifying grievous where his prey was located, grievous tells the droids to keep them occupied until his arrival. Anakin took out Dookus weapon and chose to apply Jar Kai maneuvers to better protect himself. Palpatine told them their is a direction for them to reach elevators, maybe their they can find the spaceships that they used to come inside the Invisible Hand.
Length - 1 Hour, 5 minutes 25 second's.
==
Kenobi led the way their while anakin followed slowly turning his back to ensure that droids are not close to them, the jedis reached the elevator but Neimodian guards jammed it, after that they pressed buttons to push the elevator up close to themselves. Grievous's droids then opened the door and the jedi pair felt like now they had no choice as going down with a fight would prove useless when the droids dont have a realife, causing them pain wont change the situation.
Their are many droid's, Grievous arrived too & with magna guards. They recognize the 2 magna guards infront of them, deadly robots with sabre staff's who know all 7 forms of swordplay. They've confronted them almost a dozen times through the clone war fighting them when they have jetpack droid models for assistance would be a dumb decision. The jedis are surrounded & must comply.
CURRENT LENGTH - 1 Hour, 5 minutes and 58 seconds.
===
The droid general win's again;
Glaring at them Grievous met both jedi a second time. He took their light sabers slowly himself, then told all (the 3 captives) "we are going to my headquarters now.. I want all of you to see Coruscant before your lives eventually do end." Grievous intended on sending a holovid of these three powerful, famous men under his captivity. He thought Sidious would praise him to maximum levels and that he would be more famous than the chancellor, hero with no fear, chosen one, sith killer's etc combined. Grievous knew that then the Republic would even meet his demands due to a threat of violence against these 3 men.
Sidious thought "my plan has backfired! not only is kenobi alive.. but i wont be able to manipulate this pawn grievous!" They all went to the headquarters where Grievous made them stand on the glass ground beneath them, it showed the orbit around Coruscant, his headquarters were the lowest level of the ship but also a room where a pilot could control the Invisible Hand.
Turning around Grievous then said "your light sabers are a very fine addition to my collection.. its only a pity that i got both without any fight, i dont wanna use count dookus though, it wont suit my technique" interrupting the cyborg's speech Anakin says "grievous you envy me and obi wan cause we still have our manhood with us, we can impregnate women, youre too infertile now that youre a machine" with a large smirk on his face.
Grievous replied "i could sever your genitals and testical's right now... both of you! but i am choosing to give you a fair chance... i desire facing you alone" Anakin obliged by pulling a light saber from the generals belt he lunged striking multiple times Grievous had already ignited two of his blades by this point.
CURRENT LENGTH - 1 Hour, 7 Minute's and 48 Second's.
================
THE CHAPTER OF GRIEVOUS!
Part A:
Without wasting any time both warriors attacked eachother with fury, hatred, emotion and ambition. Grievous had safely guarded, defended & parried against all slash attacks of Anakin. He held 1 green blade and 1 blue color, intercepting Anakin's attack using the saber on his right grievous aimed for the vulnerable part not guarded by a saber. That part in question of skywalkers body is the right portion of his abdomen Grievous was coming on it with his left saber.
=
Anakin stepped back a bit on grievous's right flank to guard both sabers at once, he was pressed back by the brute strength of the Generals arms. Anakin was already below his peak (due to the fight with dooku he was injured/fatigued abit) and he imagines that had he been in top condition it would be very easy for him to power through Grievous..
While staring on the floor (his face was flat down in the ground) he saw Coruscant but within a particle of a second he got back up with rage. For a moment he paused to look at his enemy Grievous who was mocking him "if you fight as well as you talk then why did your mother die a slave and not a free woman?"
Note: grievous did not know that anakins mom was actually freed from slavery before she died & he had limited information about anakins family, all he knew is that anakin was the son of a female slave from Tatooine (a world). Back to "the Film".
=
PART B:
Anakin tried every Djem So, Ataru & Shien move he could think of (as long as its applicable/favorable in close quarters with limited space) but no matter how much rage, anger and emotion he relied on the man just could not push grievous back. Though anakin was on the offensive Grievous was never fazed, for him this appeared to be a very casual fight.
Kenobi understanding that his friend was not at his very best (due to a recent fight with Dooku) began to make attempts of erasing the restraint's on his wrist bone. While Anakin was wet due to the amount of sweat on his fore head, face, chest (covered by clothes) etc.
=
Current Length - 1 hour 8 minutes and 53 second's.
=
As the fight continued Grievous let anakin come close to him the Jedi conducted a 2 handed attack Grievous first dodged then used a light saber to slash on anakins blade, instead of meeting the blade's front, he met it on it's back (its like a object moving forward then another object pushes that blade from the back only increasing the likely hood of it falling down).
Now that the jedis vulnerable again his left shoulder is targetted by the blade in Grievous's right arm. But immediately anakin abandon's the two arm grip and used his cybernetic golden artificial arm to hold grievous's other arm on it's fingers. As long as he holds Grievous's hand the general wont be able to use the light saber in it for striking him.
The 2 beasts of battle were stuck in a impasse. Anakin took this opportunity to catch any breath and say "when you die grievous my new star ship will be forged out of your body!"
During the saber lock Grievous press's down hemming Anakin Skywalker in the corner of the room Kenobi was watching everything from the flank, he thought "every weapon Grievous owns has its own story.."
=
Length NOW - 1 Hour 9 minute's 9 seconds.
=
PART C;
Grievous headbutted Anakin three times knocking him out cold. This took 1 total second for him to do, anakin did think of moving his weapon to where the generals forehead was but he also knew that would leave his body vulnerable to grievous's 2 sabers. The general then said out loud "youre such a failure anakin... no wonder your dad left ur mom... he must have predicted that his son would grow up to be a loser"
Note:
Grievous believed anakin was born out of wedlock, he did not know that anakin does not have a biological father at all, even Anakin is ignorant of this (he believes he had to have had a father) that is why he still gets angered by the language of Grievous.
Though Kenobi saw grievous doing the headbutt in a second to the normal human eye it would take 6 second's to see, meaning that incident is longer for us than it is for the fighter's.
[end of note]
===
Already knowing it was a dun moch tactic Anakin merely steadied himself and calmly gathered more energy from the universe's air around him (giving Palpatine/Kenobi less oxygen to breathe). Anakin for the moment gained a considerable amount of power which was ample to rival Grievous's brute strength. As his opponent was doing a Force Surge general Grievous had been altering his position to the point where his back would be facing the window so anakin would refrain from doing a force wave/push (if the window breaks all of them die).
Spectator's action;
After dismantling the handcuffs put on him by a Magna Guard (who was oblivious due to enjoying the scene of Grievous fighting Anakin) Kenobi entered the fray and Grievous's attention for a minor second turned to him, he told his servants "secure the chancellor! make the beardboy suffer!" Palpatine freed himself using force crush on the hand cuffs he was given while Obi Wan parried the strikes from the electro staff's of 2 Magna Guards.
Anakin vs Grievous again;
Both warriors against rushed performing lunges, grievous's right saber was hit so hard by the strike of Anakin's Djem So technique that it fell off but being superior in speed Grievous was able to return a deadly blow (similar to the vaapad technique he copied) which struck down Anakin's weapon immediately.
[what grievous looked like with just 1 saber]
=
A INTERFERENCE;
Seeing the general return his favor by felling the only weapon in his hand Anakin panicked. He then began side stepping trying to find the hilt of his light saber quickly he retreated from about 5 attacks of the general, a 6th slash was going to land on the jedi's pecs but Obi Wan used his power of Telekinesis to manipulate (not push) the legs and stomach of magna guard at Grievous.
Now that Grievous's attention and focus was elsewhere Anakin used the force to pull the blade of Count Dooku (equipped onto Grievous's lower chest) to his hand grip. Grievous did not care as he was now aiming to end Kenobis life first as the man is in jeopardy (hes engaged with a magna guard).
=
Length NOW - 1 Hour 9 minute's 49 seconds.
=
Before the "interference" what did spectators do:
A blaster bolt is fired by Palpatine, which landed in the chest of a Neimodian guard Obi Wan bragged "you call this a fight!" as he decapitated the neck of one Magnaguard and parried attack patterns of the other guard. Despite the beheading that guard could fight as long as it had legs so it continued attacking Kenobi. Until he levitated its body to prevent Grievous from conducting a killing blow on the skin of Anakin's pectoral bone. While Kenobi was doing this he was knocked upside the back of his head by the MagnaGuard who was still uninjured.
==
PART D;
Anakin was lunging towards his opponent's rear, who has to turn again and parry the attack of his enemy, in the midst of the fight Grievous tells him "i could've ended this anytime i wanted too kid" as he brought out his other pair of arm's he then said "but i wanted to make this interesting for myself" Grievous now did 12 jar kai maneuvers with his light saber's at a time.
Anakin was taken aback and barely able to defend himself the right elbow got attacked in this one second where grievous did twelve attacks two moves did miss because of Senator Palpatine firing his blaster (eventually ran out of ammo) Obi Wan hacked the last droid down.
Back to Anakin the skin on his "Ulnar Nerve" (close to elbow bone) now is bleeding, Grievous spoke again "you might wanna get a cybernetic replacement for that too..." continuing his speech "my body was destroyed cause of an explosion but your body is getting destroyed because you are a poor warrior an inferior being!"
=
Length NOW - 1 Hour 10 minute's 32 seconds.
=
Back to action;
He did a two handed manuever anakin tapped into his rage and angrily attacked his first move missed but his second move intercepted the 4 arm jar kai attack of Grievous. Both warriors were in a bladelock now. The droid general merely sidestepped anakin after three more second's. That side step let him get on the blind spot of his opponent he used his left arm (which was holding a green lightsaber) to bang Anakin's head hitting him their and making him fall down.
Grievous next attacked using a Juyo move with two arms but Kenobi was clashing blade to blade for guarding Anakin. Sidious wanted to pick up a gun but couldn't find one fast enough fearing the jedi would sense his force connection. Seeing Anakin coming to him Grievous strikes back (using two arms for each Jedi), eventually he needed to resort to using three instead of 4 at once (keeping one at bay incase Palpatine fires a bullet/blaster bolt).
======
PART F
The retreat occur's:
Anakins blade guarded himself from the other light saber attack of Grievous but his feet were free to move he tryed kicking Grievous twice but his durasteel body was so hard that anakins legs hurt so badly it felt like a bone was fractured he yelled and screamed in pain, however grievous lost one arm (the one he kept at bay) due to Kenobi's movement.
Having three arms remaining and his enemies in a less powerful condition Grievous held yet another advantage but he got scared.
Thinking maybe he should retreat grievous began to run away across the room, closer to the windows after taking up a electro staff in his hands he yelled "you lose!" striking the windows quicker than a normal eye can see. A huge rush of wind came in and out a lack of oxygen occurred in the room.

[CL] Current Length - 1 hour, 11 Minute's, 5 seconds.

His new change of plans;
Grievous went in outer space the orbit of Coruscant and using another wire he magnetically attached himself by the wrist back on the space ship "Invisible Hand" [without a proper starpilot and escape pod those jedi wont be able to survive this] thinking exactly that Grievous returned to a location of the Invisible Hand (many stories away from the location of Skywalker & Obi Wan). He reached a room which contained escape pod's.
The general began pressing multiple button's which resulted in all all but one pod being sent away in space, he believed it would accomplish two of his goals (preventing the jedi from getting a escape vehicle and providing a distraction baiting a Republic air ship fleet into firing at empty object's). Now getting in the last pod Grievous himself made an escape.
=
[CL] Current Length - 1 hour, 11 minutes, 22 Second's.
The jedi plan their way out of the mess:
Rayshield's activate on their own trying to provide as much oxygen as necessary and preventing outer space from sucking any passenger out of the space ship's control room/center chamber (the former headquarters of Grievous where the jedi pair and chancellor are inside now). Checking the rooms base Obi Wan says "theirs no escape pod's" Anakin told him "grievous probably took them all away for himself!"
Taking it upon himself and ignoring his leg/heel pain (happened when he kicked the droid champion/general) Anakin decided to get in the pilots seat and they continued to fly. Their were too many buttons which he was ignorant on, the man barely knew what he was doing but anakin then said "a human built droids! if they could pilot this ship i can too!"
=
Landing back to Coruscant;
As Skywalker was piloting the Invisible Hand the whole bottom half of it including fuel tanks and engine had been seperated and fallen off. The whole ship was breaking apart due to the rupture of its hydrofuel tank then Obi Wan said "this day couldn't possibly get any worse now could it?" Then a bunch of clone trooper's had been in the star fighter's and air ships which were firing at the Invisible Hand (already a previously weakened vehicle), Anakin says to Kenobi "you had to ask.."
Eventually Commander Cody ordered all his units to stop firing as whoever the starpilot is will land on Coruscant and the chancellor must be saved. While Captain Rex led a minor armada and small air force on the other side (they were chasing the escape pod's of the Separatist unit). The invisible hand started to burn and Kenobi was afraid but anakin was steering it accurately. Anakin decided that they should just let the vehicle fall hoping that it lands on Coruscants surface.
The clones and other Jedi (piloting star ships) sprayed hoses of water on the vehicle to prevent any more flames from charging. The jedi are happy they landed, palpatine smiles knowing his plans do have a chance to be made a reality even with obi wan having a status of alive.
[CL] Current Length - 1 hour, 13 minutes, 55 Second's.
=
The heros are home:
As they landed out of the wreckage all three men thanked Saesee Tiin and his padawan (who were Jedi star pilots) for saving their skins from fire. As Palpatine was taken in another aristocratic ship he paid respect's to Anakin who then left with Obi Wan to a private military type ship. Then their vehicle landed near the senate building (where hundreds of senator's usually participate in conversations).
Palpatine was already on ground talking to Mace while Anakin was over 22 meters away he saw Bail Organa coming toward him to greet him with Jar Jar Bink's he asked Obi Wan (who was still on the air ship) "aren't you going to join us?"
Obi Wan listed 6 things that Anakin did which turned the situation in their favor;
With his arms crossed Kenobi thought over this... and said "Lets be honest anakin... this day belonged wholely to you not me... it was you who ended count dookus life... you who distracted Grievous and his minions which let me free myself without trouble, you also prevented both of us from drowning in the hydro tank when you created that bubble... And you taught me how to beat a Grapple Droid... you who landed the invisible hand.. it was all you.. even during master Jocasta's death.. your plan saved us from being gunned down.."
Anakin stared for two moments and then asked "so are you jealous of me now?" the left side of his lip smiled the right portion however frowned (indicating Anakin has mixed feelings about this) before Obi Wan could reply anakin told him "dont make me laugh."
Obi Wan then frowns and comes near anakins body holding both shoulder's with his arms, he carefully explains "no... its because i wanted to stay out of your way... i wanted to give you a reward by not being their to correct you again.. also i know you have to meet" now kenobi's voice turned into a quiet whisper "a beautiful female from Naboo" Anakin understands that his former master knows about his love life... he maintains his expression without reacting and says "okay... but you owe me for saving your skin again... i will collect my debt in due time" Kenobi waved but anakin walked the friends went seperate ways.

Sidious deals with Grandmaster Windu;
Palpatine was accompanied by a clone trooper who was going to give him medicine but Mace arrived and Palpatine (sidious) told him "i can not have a conversation at the moment.. i need to recover.." Mace's accomplice Shaak Ti said "but you had enough vigor to still speak?" Ticked off Sidious chose to stay their (he desired to go in a private tower so he could evaluate).
Windu said "Privilege's we granted you should be seceded especially since we can not maintain any peace in the Galaxy if we are worried about saving you Chancellor.." Mas Amedda interrupted them and said "but grievous is the leader of the droid army.. seeing count dookus light saber in anakins hands we know he must be dead... in a way as long as he was heading them the separatists were able to keep that monster kaleesh in check..."
"Now dookus not their so grievous basically has been let loose across the whole galaxy... everywhere he goes that grievous leaves a trail of victims!" Mace wanted to use the force to shut Amedda up but he knew Palpatines other officials were looking for a reason to convict him so he instead spoke again "then i will make grievous's capture the highest priority of the high council.." As windu left Sidious then said "good day" after saluting the chancellor Shaak Ti also departed.
TOTAL TIME - 1 Hour, 18 Minutes + 30 Second's.

Reuniting with Padme;
Meanwhile people accepted Anakin to greet them or walk to the jedi temple instead Anakin went to a secret apartment he was accompanied by jar jar binks who anakin told to lie for him if any one asks where they are going. In the deeper levels of Coruscant next to a gamblers den he found her cloaked with a hoodie. She hugged him instantly and they kissed, after they went to a private room (booked by Padme) then they kept holding eachother.
She told him "i heard rumors that you'd been killed on Tythe" Anakin just smiled even harder & said "I survived and that world was freed from Separatists" Padme said "i feel like its been almost a life time since we last met"
Anakin said "im alright, i just dont want us to hide anymore" Padme told him "we will have too as long as this war goes on.. otherwise the jedi may demote you and i may lose my position on the Senate" Anakin said "you dont understand i killed Dooku, this war is almost done... i was considered a hero before now i will be admired by the Coruscantis even more, i am every jedis dream!" "i will be given the gift of being able to walk in public at your side without lying and hiding!"
Padme then said "Anakin.. many people hate the jedi now but love you, and because you are a jedi the anti jedi sentiment here is not as big of a problem... so you should remain one." Anakin asked "why do they love me so much?" padme replied "you were a poor slave who became what you are now.. a hero.. a war general, a galactic icon, youve been turned into a celebrity.."
He eventually yielded to her request. After that they went to Padme's chamber on a tower/skycraper. As padme is changing her clothes anakin praised her beauty.
TIME SO FAR - 1 Hour, 20 Minute's, 48 Seconds.

3 day time skip;
Three days have passed by now ever since the crashlanding on Coruscant. Immediately after in his escape pod General Grievous had made it on a bigger healthier and stable star cruiser in the Mid Rim Territories (separatist space) after taking charge of it he had a holovid conversation with Sidious (by now a hour passed since the abandonment of Invisible Hand was abandoned).
Sidious told him "i already know of what happened, i want u to react by moving the Separatist Council to Planet Utapau... united they are capable" the hologram turned off. Then after resting abit Grievous concured with Sidious's demand and by night time he left the space station.
He journeyed to Utapau, an hour past midnight as he neared the orbit of the world he could already see thousands of battle ships surrounding it awaiting his arrival. Six more hours passed and the ground forces (droids) totally occupied the important locations of the planet.
Seat's were taken out of the massive star cruisers so the separatist council member's would be able to sit down to have conversations, relax and a peaceful time of relief from any stress. Poggle The Lesser ordered that 10 B1 droid's be placed at each Kilometer of Land that existed on the planet's crust. On the outside (ground LvL) the world appeared as just barren rocky environment plagued by fast wind's on its surface.

The 2nd day's afternoon:
Grievous again had a conversation with his boss. He asked "if i may ask as i am ignorant compared to you... why did you not allow me to kill chancellor palpatine?" He further stated "Unless you see another future i do not believe a better chance will arise.." Sidious told him "because that is exactly what our jedi enemy wanted us to do, it would all work to their benefit as they could take leadership into their competent hand's instead."
Grievous then replied "then i presume that palpatine being captured was a way to draw the Jedi Pair closer to us so we could kill them.. right?" Sidious said "yes.. i wanted you to aid the Count.. but he was too prideful.. he felt like he didnt need your help.. so he disobeyed my orders and paid a hefty price!"
=
Grievous told him "even so without Dooku to lead us it will be very difficult to continue this war, he can not be replaced, his political mindset and identity is what prevented any civil disputes between the council member's.. even earlier Wat Tambor was killed on planet Nelvaan.. but no one really cared cause Dooku was their to lead us"
=
Sidious then told him "ignore the death of dooku.. i have a plan that will maximize on advantages that we will gain from his death.." Grievous's head rose up indicating his eagerness to follow a new order the holovid spoke again "On the Mustafar world a safe, secure base needs to be constructed within 10 day's, their we can house the Separatist councilors and a hundred other droids"
=
Length Now - 1 Hour, 23 minutes 50 Second's.

Grievous said "it will be done master" after the hologram turned off Grievous made arrangements for it as soon as possible. San Hill (banking clan/Muun representative) lend'ed most of his fortune in building that base. Rogwa Wodrata, Tikke's, Nute Gunray, Poggle The Lesser, Shu Mai, Passel Argente are all still alive (six of the 7 member's on their council).
Grievous had to have a meeting with all of them together now (not San Hill as he was busy with all the financing).
=
Tikke's asked Grievous "i thought we left our former positions because after dookus death arrogant republic spies would be too lazy to find us and their would not be a better opportunity for us to gather together and go in one direction.." "so why are we going to leave Utapau too?" Shu Mai told "i doubt your capability now general! you failed to keep the chancellor in your custody!"
Passel Argente butt in and said "i dont agree with ur accusations my fellow councilmembers.." "this general is the most capable.. worthy and protective leader of all.." he was stopped by the white claw hand that was raised in the air, it was Grievous's own hand signaling all of them to stop talking so his voice could be heard instead.
Grievous said "i will answer all of you on a condition that the neimodian leader Nute chooses to go in a gun ship so he can not hear our discussion" they agree and then grievous tells them "this planet Utapau was always meant as another distraction, a way to lead our enemy astray again.." "...the chancellor only slipped from our grasp because count dooku was intoxicated and ordered me to stay in Coruscants space sector"
He further states "and my real plan is to have all of you safely transported in a area where if anyone does find you then they cant come to you without ur permission... that way i can fight the remainder of this war without needing to worry about protecting my council from danger.." Rogwa Wodrata, Passel Argente, Tikkes and Poggle agreed to Grievous's plan but Shu Mai had her doubt's however she had no choice other than yielding to this appeal because she believed their was not a better option for her security and ambition to be fulfilled right now.

The Film's earliest Council Meeting;
On day 1 (when the invisible hand was burnt up) Obi Wan left anakin so he could meet Padme without worrying about him and Kenobi himself could go to the council room after taking a bath and freshening himself up. Later after he refreshened himself and napped Obi Wan got on a vehicle which dropped him off at the jedi temple.
Coming inside the High Council he saw only 8 other council members, two are absent. Kit Fisto tells him "Shaak Ti and Mace Windu will join us in a jiffy.. then our meeting can officially begin" as he sat down Kenobi recognized a new member, one who taught him swordsmanship during his youngling years.
Cin Drallig said "ive been placed on this council to replace master Lagoda, she was killed in the invasion hours ago by Grievous" (he's referring to the battle of Coruscant, a female council member of the Gran Species encountered the droid general and fell at his weapon). Obi Wan expressed his regret as the 2 other council members walked in completing the number of 11.
Mace Windu said "any contact with Plo has been lost, i believe he died and that means we will have to stick with a odd number instead of a even one for our group" Yoda then interrupted "i sensed the death of Dooku... like palpatine pulled the republic worlds together as a magnet Dooku did the same for the separatists.."
Ki Adi Mundi claimed "this war should be over, it is not possible for us to chase grievous across a solar system, let alone a galaxy..." "he is not force sensitive so he won't be felt by our connection to it. None of us including Yoda can tell where he hides."
Obi Wan says "if we already assume we are going to fail in a task before trying then how can we ever hope to maintain the peace?" "their have been so many battle's where we doubted any chance of success in these past years... yet Anakin was able to turn the bad situation around.. we can find Grievous."
=
Note: lagoda was a jedi master from the gran species, she was a council member too in this continuity.
[End of Note]
Coleman Kcaj said "Just imagine how hard it would be to locate a particular building in a planet which holds a population of a million life forms? even if the General was on Coruscant itself we wouldnt know unless he reveals himself.. This war will not be over unless we announce a peace proposal to the Separatist Diplomat's!"
=
Agen Kolar gave his opinion "If Grievous died then Nute Gunray will just take his place as leader, he wont be a military officer but he will be in charge able to send others on the front line to lead armies as a representative." Mace Windu says "if we really want the war to end then we we'll need to work against palpatine by removing him from the seat of power." Obi Wan slowly asked "Against him?"
=
Stass Allie said "yes Obi Wan... you have not been here for 126 days (4 months and two day's), you were fighting the war in the Outer Rim. You are not used to dealing with Palpatine's never ending selfish manuevers to gain more power over us." Obi Wan claims "that'd be treason.."
Yoda then said "treason it would be to not remove him from that position master Kenobi.. close to the other Sith we were, that dark lord is a two legged humane individual, it is possible our chancellor is being manipulated by that Sith... for palpatines safety above all the Republics we must remove him from his throne"
Kit Fisto asked "but who would be the replacement chancellor then?" Mace replied "another jedi could fulfill that role" Kit responds "then our public image and reputation would be tarnished.. we'd be seen as power seekers, greedy hungry for higher positions, authority & anti sentiments against us would be on another rise"
=
Saesee Tiin finally spoke "If we didnt give him so much power then Coruscants invasion wouldnt have been so easy for Grievous.. it appears like Palpatine being captured was an inside job." Obi Wan asked "and anakin slaying Dooku?" Shaak Ti mentioned "the only thing we are not able to understand is why after his death now the darkness appears to have risen and our vision continues to remain clouded.. the dark is growing and the light is decreasing"
=
Agen Kolar ask's "today he brought a fire.. another day will he bring a flood?" Cin Drallig said "he had no choice other than a crash landing we cant judge him badly for that...but we can fault Anakin for not bringing dooku as a prisoner it would have all been better that way." Yoda said "Demonstrated another lack of emotional control Anakin has by murdering a prisoner"
Coleman Kcaj provided his opinion again "it is much worse now that hes gained a galactic celebrity's status.. people will mis understand the jedi order when they learn of Anakin's deed's"

A Nightmare;
At midnight during the third day (after Invisible Hand was burnt) anakin after spending a long night drunk with padme (they saw a film on a theater & danced wearing masks) they both fell asleep but in opposite rooms. Padme drank juice instead of alcohol (unlike anakin), she felt her baby kicking, it felt like their might be two instead of one.
A cloaked figure in a tower is snapping his thumb's and fingers into a mini fire it appears as if he is camping inside what could be his home. This cloaked individual resembles Sidious entirely (he is revealed to be Palpatine again as he took the hoodie off by the end of his ritual). Across his tower is the private resort of Anakin and Padme, both in bed.
Anakin sees a bad dream well a hour into his sleep, and he wakes up from it, unable to sleep for five more hours he tells Padme "we will sleep together so i dont have any concern for you.." Padme asks "if you get into a outburst and accidentally hit my stomach... then?" Anakin says "i will move my bed with the force so i am close to you but not close enough to cause harm, i'll just feel alot better if it is like this instead." They both do so.

Grievous remembers how he got 4 of his light sabers.
All of these incident's occurred before ROTS ever began. It was during the first yr of the clone war.
1st & 2nd;
During the battle of Genosis as the separatist council members fled to safety one (Passel Argente) was trying to escape, Dooku assigned Grievous to be his body guard. In the catacomb's both of them fled a jedi named "Llacielo Sageon" (a Lorrdian male) had arrived their with a dozen clones and a padawan. Without any light sabers equipped onto his body Grievous fought with his claws, feet & blaster pistol's he was able to slaughter all of the enemies he faced their.
But he suffered a serious wound on his face mask (it came from the light saber of Llacielo) he was lucky that B series super battle droids were their to prevent any clones from ganging up on him. After that he took the 2 sabers of his fallen enemies and helped in slaughtering the clones who were occupied with B2 Droid model's.
=
3rd one;
Hearing of his achievement Dooku granted a light saber to him saying "this once belonged to my friend Syfo Dyas... U have proven worthy of owning it now."
4th one;
Grievous defeated and killed the ten legged jedi "Jmmaar" first he intercepted and parried each slash of his then the kaleesh warrior chopped up five of his legs & finally he protected himself against Jmmaar's force powered strikes, eventually spinning a third light saber (he'd been combatting Jmmaar with 2 so far) after he spinned it vertically like a top for twenty seconds finally he brought down the super power slash which split Master Jmmaars body in two.
Back to present:
He remembered seeing dookus body too and swore to fight for the man that trained him to be so capable.

Sidious and Anakin:
A week had passed by now ever since he returned to planet Coruscant. He came in the chamber office of his old friend Palpatine who told him "you dont have to tell me twice Anakin.. i got a message from Padme... she told me you will stay here on Coruscant until Grievous is located and you will not be sent back to the outer rim sieges.. you deserve a break." he patted Anakin on the shoulder who felt as if Palpatine was the father he never had.
Anakin said "i've been thinking lately if we do win this war then how are we going to abolish slavery? we may need to fight yet another war for that dad.." anakin did not have control over his emotions, he called him dad by habit and was barely shocked at what he himself said but it just slipped out of his mouth.. he felt like giving Palpatine a fatherly status.
Palpatine told him "nothing will ever be perfect so slaves and masters will always exist.. but i will be satisfied as long as eighty percent of the known Galaxy remains Republican.." he paused and then spoke more "but i need your help for a different mission... not on the front lines but instead here on Coruscant... i want you to fight this battle with your mind and intelligence anakin..."
Anakin startled (he hadn't seen Palpatine this worried in a long time) asked "what exactly is it you need me for this time Chancellor?" Palpatine responded "i want you to be my representative on the Jedi High Council.. i want you to spy on them.. i fear they are plotting against me... " Anakin remembered what Yoda said to him over a decade ago "fear leads to the darkside" but he dismisses it and asks "why though? what benefits can be gained out of this action?"
Palpatine states "Through this move i can first give you the position youre worthy of based on your accomplishments... and i can confirm whether the jedi are plotting against me or not... its not a coincidence that in the Core Worlds a anti jedi sentiment has arisen... that is because the jedi are flawed... you know it as much as i do" Anakin could not deny it as he understood the jedi's mistakes were another source of this galactic war hes been through.
But he frowned and shook his head indicating his answer was "no" Palpatine then said "please son.. dont make me force this to be a order instead of a request.." Anakin said "unfortunately the reason behind my refusal is that i want to save someones life... i had nightmares a couple of days ago similar to the ones before my mom died.." "i fear that my lover will die too now.. just being on Coruscant isnt enough i want to be in the same room as her for at least 24 hours every day"
Palpatine then said "if you tell me her identity then i can trust a person to protect her..." Anakin asked "what jedi has the power to protect her?" Palpatine said "...not a jedi but droids can" Anakin said "i wont inform you of the identity but i will agree to be put on the council only if you give me ownership of the droid's they can be manipulated by me." Palpatine agreed they shook hand's and walked out happy (palpatine went to the senate room where hundred's of other senators would be & Anakin immediately went to Padme's tower with force speed to ensure he cant be followed.

Padme's protection is arranged;
Seeing him in her tower abruptly without giving her a heads up (anakin should be informing her to ensure she has no other plans and that its the appropriate time for a reunion) kind of ticked Padme off. She asks "what is all of this" Anakin says "padme... i had a nightmare and im not letting that become a reality, these two droids are tough, they will protect you from any outside danger"
He then showed her window replacements from a bag "and this is from a cortosis mine on planet Apatros, it will be the new window of your chamber" he used force push to break the windows and then Telekinesis to accurately place the cortosis ones on them so they can fit right. Padme asked "but how can i be in danger?"
Anakin told her "i wont let you die like my mom... and my first child..." Padme says "that miscarriage happened cause of my idiocy... not your lack of presence here.." "but still i will convince the Chancellor to keep you from the front lines.. you dont need to be in this war now Annie.." Their lip's met and their universe became perfect again.
After the kiss was done and over with Anakin told her "but now im a member of the council padme.. i am not going to be a physical fighter i will have to fight like a politician instead, with my brain i will have to think like one and scheme to make sure i can save you" "i wont let our baby die" He then walks toward the jedi temple all smug and thinks "at long last... what Master Jinn brought me here for.. a acknowledgement of my ability & contribution"
.. He keeps walking and talking to himself in his head "within a week it will be my birthday, i'll be 23 years old, but while im still 22 i will be on the High Council... the youngest ever member." "Let me just hope this day doesnt distract me and Padme is not vulnerable anymore" he closed his eyes and opened them. Seeing the door to the room of council member's.
===
2nd meeting of High Council;
In the council chamber Yoda sensed that Anakin will come and ask to be on the council with a holovid as evidence for Palpatine requesting/ordering this. Saesee Tiin says "we should definitely let him come, he will be a good replacement for master Koon" Shaak Ti said "his friendship with Palpatine can help us locate Sidious.." Mace asked "Obi Wan... what is your opinion on whether anakin should be on our council or not?"
Obi Wan replies "Me and him havent developed a force bond yet.. we were supposed too during his padawan days but after he became a Knight anakin only drifted further from me, we still went on so many adventures together, fought side by side, but only as comrades and brothers, not master or apprentice... we never had that relationship despite us learning from eachother we couldnt form that bond.."
He paused and said "what im trying to say is despite knowing him more than most people i dont really know him fully..." standing up from his chair Kenobi then said "but i would allow him to be on the council so the rift between him and us can decrease.. it will be too our benefit and Sidious's detriment" after that Kit Fisto nodded his head they all agreed.

Anakin promoted to the council:
He walked in and said "hello masters.. now i can be alongside my 3 mentors, master Cin, master Obi, master Ki Adi Mundi too..." Mace Windu told him "you can be on the council and we want you to be here, but you will not be given the privilege and ranking of a jedi master." Anakin big smile and smirk and confidence seemed to remain on his face for five second's until he realised what he heard faster than dooku severed his arm 37 months ago.
His expression changed and he then started ranting "how DARE YOU? how dare you! i deserve a master position more than 10 of you cowards who have sat on your butts while me and obi wan fought the war for almost half a year!" As he yelled and screamed a gaze of wind came from the atmosphere it was felt by the faces of all jedi (except for Mace/Yoda).
Pointing to master Yoda he said "the Dooku who electrocuted your ear on my homeworld Tatooine was killed on that Invisible Hand by my blade" pointing to Mace Windu "the asajj ventress who you failed to slay on Coruscant was finished by my strength!" pointing to Coleman Kcaj "the Durge who made U pee ur pants is not alive because of me!"
Obi Wan say's "anakin please control your mind... last time you used your mind on Tythe we both nearly died, you collapsed that dome not only on me but yourself too" pointing at his former student Obi Wan desired to calm him down. Anakin replied "we had no way out! i had to do that otherwise the droids would have killed us."
Agen Kolar told him "youre not here as a jedi how can we make you a young ling let alone a master?" Anakin asked "what u mean im not a jedi?!?" Agen replied "i mean that you are Palpatine's representative here so we professionally wont consider you a jedi as long as youre a council member" Anakin Skywalker actually nodded his head slowly and said "i understand now... thank you for explaining it all to me.."
Cin Drallig told him "take a seat kid" Stass Allie moved a chair lifting it close to Coleman Kcaj so it would be two seat's away from her and told him "anakin i have prepared your position for you.." He sat down & thinks to himself "i felt happier when i gained Knight Hood"

After anakin calm's down;
Windu asked "whats the status on our spies tracking Grievous?" Shaak Ti replied "so far none of our spies have been able to find any sign of him, they suspected he went to planet Serreno but that system is too heavily guarded for my spies to penetrate" Anakin then interrupts "when your useless spies couldnt even find Sidious on Coruscant or 500 Republica then how are they gonna find a galactic criminal who is hiding in other planets bigger than Coruscant?" Shaak Ti felt ashamed & berated, anakin then took the liberty to speak even more "to locate grievous we need a higher quality of spy's and they should be led by a capable leader... i recommend that my former master Obi Wan selects the spies he finds suitable or leads them himself"
Cin Drallig says "you are unable to get over your bad past and childhood anakin.." Anakin told Cin "behaving like a human is not a fault!" Mace Windu said "the recommendation you provided is denied, do not speak out of turn again otherwise you will be removed from this council"
Coleman Kcaj reluctantly took his turn "i believe that we should not settle for mediocrity but our problem is we have no option other than Shaak Ti as a spy right now as our former spy master Tholme was killed by the same Durge who skywalker boasts of murdering.." Stass Allie now said "i believe we need to give bait so Grievous will reveal himself, maybe send a politician like Bail Organa in the Outer Rim with little security?"
Kit Fisto said "we shouldnt send another jedi to get killed by him.. it would be best for us to wait for him to reveal himself.. he will draw attention to himself based on his own deed's... grievous is too violent for him to not be centre stage." Mace Windu says "the next meeting will be tomorrow, you may all disperse."

Enter Serra Keto:
This occurred in a region close to a window in one of the higher story's/levels of the Jedi Temple. Immediately after the anakin's earliest meeting as a council member ended him and Obi Wan had their conversation in the temple itself.
Anakin asked "in what way can this be considered a fair decision? not granting me Mastery. Denying me the rights i should have." Obi Wan replied "you have not mastered your own emotion.. thats why you are not a true master"
Anakin replies "No.. they did it on purpose, by depriving me of mastership they wanted me to react like this... they fear what im capable of, the great thing's they can't do. The council is the last hold they had on me its how they kept information hidden from me." Obi Wan asks "you are acting very stubborn." Anakin says "then do tell me who destroyed the Force Harvester? Who killed Garam Telsoh?" He continued to ask "Who wouldve incapacitated the Zillo Beast on Planet Malastare?"
"Who would have saved Agen Kolar, Voolvif Monn and Aayla Secura from the Bubble Projector on Leego? who won the battle of Praesitlyn!? Who would have done all of those things on the Invisible Hand that i accomplished!?.. WHO! Tell me. Who?" Anakin was holding both shoulders of Kenobi and again said "WHO?"
=
Serra Keto (who was listening in on the entire conversation while standing next to a pillar) then interrupted him "if you had not existed Skywalker then Qui Gon Jinn wouldnt go to Naboo and Darth Maul wouldnt have killed him then its possible Count Dooku wouldnt become a darksider...
that would leave the seperatist movement without any proper authority! if you didnt exist then Jango Fett would not target Amidala because she wouldnt be alive already and those 184 jedi that were killed on Genosis might still be alive..." smirking at the end Serra Keto seemed like she wanted to tick Anakin off.
Anakin reacted by spitting on her face Keto immediately ignited her weapon and told him "wanna throw hands then? its been a long time since we sparred!" Anakin was about to go even closer to her boundary however Kenobi held both jedis hand's & said "i apologize on his behalf... please anakin come with me" they walked out of the room away from the temple while Serra washed the spit of her face in a bathroom.

Meeting with Padme;
Anakin says "Them holding me back is a reason why the war keeps going on! this is my disappointment in them speaking not my anger.." anakin smiles and shakes his head.
Padme said "maybe the jedi aren't a reason for why the war goes on, i believe its possible that this war is endless because Palpatine wants it to be that way.. he has benefitted the most out of the war Anny.."
Anakin was surprised but asked "how can a elderly man in constant danger, threat, peril, worrying about vilification & plagued by stress possibly profit out of this galactic war?"
Padme told him "he keeps gaining more political power & many of my colleagues like Bail Organa only gave him that power cause they fear him... and under his leadership the Republic receives even more hatred, a badder name than it did under the time of Valorum!"
Anakin asks "this reputation occurs all the time in war for both sides, what alternative is their? if we choose a peace treaty now then less people may die but their will be no change! letting separatists run amok and commit crime without being caught? let people like Nute Gunray live? who could take palpatine's place as the head honcho?"

Barriss Offee Enter's:
Days later at night time Anakin is meditating in the Jedi Temple, a Mirialan jedi knight named "Barriss Offee" told him "im certain with your growing power you are able to sense my presence now friend.." Anakin smiled and said "yes Barriss... let us talk in a more private area in a tower"
He takes her to the room where Padme is sleeping and tell's her "your life was saved by me on Oba Diah when a dark jedi & Pyke's tried killing you" "so now the time to return the favor has come.." he pointed left "a woman sleeping their is going to be my childs mother.... i had night mares 1,125 days ago (37 & a half months) my mom died days after them, now im getting night mares of Padmes death too.. tommorow is my birthday... i didnt ask anyone else for a gift... but i want you to always stay with padme until i stop receiving these night mares... i want you to always heal her, ensure that Padmes health is in top condition. Will you do it?" Barriss nodded and said "yes! dont worry i will stop a catastrophe from happening, if i fail then i will end my life." Anakin was happy after this, now he could go to a night time council meeting without any qualms."

The Jedi High Council meets a third occasion;
Obi Wan said "as you all know after the incident of Nelvaan i received a message from Anakin that Dooku was on the world of Tythe, i doubted this cause he got his information from Palpatine and Palpatine's info was incorrect he made a false claim of grievous being on planet Nelvaan, when we got their we didnt see a hint of Grievous's presence. But we could not disobey Palpatine's order so i obliged."
Anakin said "Dooku's actions on Planet Tythe made no sense because when we came in starfighters chasing him, he landed in a dome & when he surrounded us with 100 B1 droids i used my connection to the force collapsing the dome's ceiling on all of us in a three hundred sixty degree radius but dooku was nowhere to be found he just left, if he was scared then why did he have the balls necessary to fight both me and obi wan alone later on?"
Stass Allie said "Palpatine's actions made no sense too he gave information twice but it was only correct once and false the other time.. Logically dooku should have tried to confirm whether you and Obi Wan were alive or dead but he did not.. what could have been more important?"
=
Cin Drallig also said "and on the Wizard's tower dooku knew that Anakin was the better fighter compared to you obi wan.. but from your account it seems like he focused on eliminating you from the fight first, saving anakin for later knowing that he would more vulnerable the longer anakin lasts.." then anakin felt like he was being questioned instead.
Kit Fisto tried to mediate the situation when he noticed the stares of other council members to anakins direction he said "let us talk of Sidious's identity and the progress of discovering the location of Grievous please?"
Ki Adi Mundi said "Sidious could be among the Red Guard of Palpatine, they are after all the only humans among his inner circle.. and we knows Sidious is a human based on the holovid conversations he had with Nute Gunray."
Agen Kolar said "we need to find a way to interrogate the members of his guard" Agen Kolar even say's "i believe Palpatine is being mind controlled by Sidious."
Stass Allie provided her input "i believe Dooku wasn't a apprentice but rather an equal partner in Sidious's crime or possibly the master himself, dooku was over eight decades old... would a 90 year old be competent enough to be his mentor? sidious is a human so he has a age limit he cant be older than dooku."
Mace said "Anakin you are the closest jedi to Palpatine, so you are the most important not powerful.. i want you to interrogate the members of his red sun guard but out of Palpatine's eye sight range.. he must not know about this interrogation! To find Sidious you will be a key that unlocks the box that is the minds of those guards.."
Anakin was not furious but he was startled and puzzled (he didnt know how he should properly respond to the situation at hand now) he asked Mace "but how can i breach the code of trust and integrity that every jedi should have? spying on him is a treasonous deed!"
=
They turn him against Palpatine:
Shaak Ti said "Their is something out of place.. when you first came as a kid he had so much interest in you, trying to teach u about politics when he had a job to do as chancellor and you needed to become capable enough to be a padawan.. yet he showed interest in you instead."
Cin Drallig say's "Another thing you need to realise is that other people who've been close to Palpatine have met with disasterous ends too. Luminara used to be his jedi adviser, she died in the mid Rim territories. 2 other jedi friends of him Ronhar Kim and Jorus C Boath also met with ends, master Boath just vanished five years before Genosis, while Ronhar Kim & his entire clone Platoon died in a battle, before leaving for that battle he met Palpatine on Coruscant."
Stass Allie also mentioned "when grievous arrived then i sensed Palpatine was only pretending to be scared of him... his fear did not appear to be genuine at all." Yoda also butted in "a mentor in the political world Palpatine had... Vidar Kim was his name, the former senator of Naboo... father to Master Ronhar was he but died to a assassin more than a decade before you were brought to this temple by Master Qui Gon.."
Ki Adi Mundi said "after that Palpatine became Naboos leader and it seems like he manipulated events for Amidala to be the senator of it after he becomes chancellor.. that way he can maintain his influence and control over that world"
Crumbling under the peer pressure, buried under the weight of arguments, force manipulation on his brain, anakins mind being taxed the man finally succumbed, agreed and said "..Fine.." "i will interrogate those men"
Obi Wan said "we have a age for sidious hes between 50 and 75, a race now too, hes likely humanoid not alien & anakin will find him" Saesee Tiin says "another matter concerns me... the 12 yr old boy who picked a fight with master windu eight months ago.. Boba Fett is on the loose, he escaped from the coruscant jail during the invasion of Grievous... i think he joined the separatists"
Mace Windu then said "Shaak Ti for apprehending Boba i am giving you the authority to use any means, you will find him under a month and bring him back here for questioning, he can also help unravel the mystery of the clone army"
Yoda said "i will go to planet Kashyyk.. over their a attack on the wookies is going on, the Mid Rim has been endangered again it will be the perfect pretext.. and my departure may encourage Sidious to reveal himself on his own.. may the force be with us.. all" lastly looking at anakin Yoda was the first to leave, mace the second and Anakin the last.

After the meeting was over;
For more than a hour (it will be shown onscreen as a mere minute) Shaak Ti and Obi Wan Kenobi used their training light sabers (being less impactful than a real light saber both sparring partners can go all out so they wont have to worry about causing a permanent injury) to have a fight.
Shaak Ti wanted this in case she is not able to meet her fellow jedi again (she will be sent for searching Boba first thing in the morning tomorrow) while Obi Wan desired to keep his skill's well honed. Obi Wan did a blur to catch his opponent off guard, he then wanted to get near her skin but Shaak was a deadly fencer who was able to use mobility better than most warrior's.
She was able to defend herself and avoid getting hit but failed to ever catch Obi Wan off guard, he blocked every attack she made, her mastery of Makashi appeared useless to her in this case. She had fine stamina though despite her Togruta body (their are big targets for Obi Wan to wound) she was able to last long.
Obi Wan gained victory by wounding her index finger, middle finger and palm all at once. Both jedi saluted eachother, went their own seperate ways after a minor hug. Obi wan looking at his ignited blue blade said "maybe now i am ready to end Grievous when we find him.."

Grievous and Nute Gunray:
Nute said "What?" Grievous replied "Yes, you heard right my friend." he held the neimodian by his shoulder and spoke again "the man who left u in ur time of need that very same Sidious is the man i serve! i wanted to tell you directly alone to ensure this truth remains hidden from the other separatist's." Nute said "why didnt dooku tell me"
Grievous replied "a dead man cant answer questions.. but you have no strong ally Nute.. so i think its in your best interest to just do as i say, go in Mustafar and wait for this war to be over" "i established that base so you can be safe and a army can exist for doing my bidding" "if you want any of your ambitions to be fulfilled you dont have any choice besides following my leadership and Sidious's"
Nute reluctantly, regrettably, slowly walked toward the Gun Ship/transportation vehicle (taking twice the time a normal person would to walk their). Grievous waves them all goodbye as they leave Utapau. The same way a big brother wishes the best for his younger brother's.

Grievous talking to Sidious:
As the holovid appeared he said "I just watched the 8 members leave Utapau for the base." Sidious confirmed "Passel Argente, San Hill, Tikkes, Nute Gunray, Rogwa Wodrata, Poggle and Shu Mai all of them?" Grievous both nodded & said "YES" Sidious clapped for him & said "good, good, good! you always do your job well General.. i hope you survive this war but i will not make it easy for you."
Grievous then said "my lord.. i have done some research this past week on Mustafar, it was a jedi dominated world 11 thousand years ago." Sidious laughed cackling "hahahah.. HAHAHA! even the ghosts of those jedi that lived their wont be able to get out of that fire in Mustafar which is protecting the Separatists."
Grievous then asked ""i should at least get to know the face of who ive been working for, all these years." The darklord said "fine general... i will take my hood off and show you my identity if you accomplish one task first, which is the death of obi wan kenobi! he is going to come here.. very soon, he will face you in battle" the holovid turned off.

Grievous doing self reflection;
"Something about his laugh was familiar" (Grievous thought in his head) he wondered where he heard that "recently, way before the war... or just a year ago?" "can it be?" (grievous thought about palpatine laughing when he was force shoved away in his attempt to capture him while fighting other jedi before the ground battle turned into a space one).
"if he doesnt reveal himself after kenobi dies... or if the war does not end in 168 hours like he promised... then i will withdraw myself! the Loyalty, Devotion & Commitment i have has limits.. i am not a jedi slave" (he tells himself out loud).

Anakin's 23rd birthday;
Padme tells him "last time we celebrated it u made sure u would stay away from the temple.. what do you want me to do now annie?" Anakin told her "youre not capable of doing anything due to your pregnancy but how do you hide the fact your pregnant?" She says "by eating in front of other people i have conversations with frequently, one of them is Bail he can be my witness.. the others are my Medical Droids, so they think im just getting a fat stomach."
Anakin noticed more than just the smile of his wife, he wondered about Bail's relationship with her. Just then Barriss walked in with a plate to serve food. Padme smiled and thanked her, she told anakin "if you wanna fucgk Ms.Offee here then you can for your birthday.. but just be sure to use a condom"
Anakin was startled at her behavior... and wondered what Padme's standards and values were.. how much she valued FAITH in a relationship... for her to give him this suggestion made him widen his eyes like Jet in ATLA.
Anakin told Barriss "ive turned my comlink, phone and other communication device's off for today i also am choosing not to meet the chancellor either, but i might not be here so i want you to stay put, if their is a problem use telepathy for communicating with me"

Anakin walked in the streets of the planet and entered a Opera House where wealthy people are usually allowed (being the hero of the Republic hes allowed to go anywhere without pay on this world) he sees Palpatine their, and feels more at home with him he also decided that sitting with palpatine would probably prevent his fans and attention seekers from chasing him.

Him and the old man had a conversation;
Palpatine smirked at him and asked "why did you miss so many calls anakin?" He told palpatine "do you not know what day it is today?" Palpatine replies "if it is something important then this's the day where my meeting with a outer rim senator was scheduled i already attended that meeting and did my job... not im relaxing.. what else is their to it?" Anakin believed this meant Palpatine was too pre occupied with a hectic life schedule that he doesnt keep track of birthdays..
He thought it's alright, he said too him "i feel that I dont have what i need.. nothing in my life will be enough until i can prevent death of my loved ones from natural causes too not just violent enemy's.." Palpatine told him "well i heard a story from a jedi friend 9 years ago" (in 28 bby) now curious Anakin said "is that true? i want to know everything if it is!" Palpatine laughed "you want the council members to know too?"
Anakin thought of if they were planning on resurrecting people he killed and said "no.. but i wont tell them i promise it can be between us and the one i desire to save" Palpatine said "i heard this tale from Jorus C Boath the same guy who vanished 1825 days before the battle at Genosis.. he claimed to have done too much research in his time at the forbidden section of the archives in the Jedi temple"
He was watching to soap opera play act infront of him but after Anakin told him "the tale!" he spoke more "C Boath said that a sith lord named Darth Plaguies discovered a method where he could influence the midi chlorians in the atmosphere/space to create life, and he could influence the midi chlorians in a living persons body to destroy their life or prevent them from dying"
Ending it palpatine said "unfortunately the tale is nearly completed now as all i remember after that is that C Boath found out Plaguies's apprentice another sith murdered him in his bed"

Mustafar Base;
When they land off their transportation vehicle's & Gun Ship's the separatist council members walk on the surface/soil of black ash... They are accompanied by various Neimodian Guards, Holwuff soldiers and red mega droid model's following them like a army group. So far none of them have spoken a letter after their arrival.
Finally Archduke Poggle said "this is the promise land... the one where we can safely wait this war out... without any more headaches." Shu Mai scoffed at this comment "you must be joking!" Nute thought "all these people are against Padme, they aim for the destruction of the Republic... this's the most profitable place for me to be at, a smart decision"

Meeting Obi Wan in a room Anakin said to him "I am going to ask you for a good little gift obi wan.. our friendship shall be over... from now on we will meet as colleagues and worker's, not peers or brothers.." Obi Wan asked "why?"
Anakin answered "because even though i saved you from Kadrian Sey, Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, Durge and other people you refused to support me on the council, you are a ungrateful jealous noob that needs to be put in his place, if i let you get killed by Kadrian then i would have a better jedi to partner with me" Obi Wan did not reply (he didn't desire to hurt the feelings of anakin on anakins birth day).

The 4th council meeting:
Anakin & Obi Wan walked in, they did not look at each other at all. Skywalker was content that atleast he was considered a member of the council and though other masters wouldnt call him that, atleast knights, padawans and younglings would adress him in the magic word Master. Their was no yoda here (he was present in holovid mode) so anakin might be leader now. The first person to speak was as usual the bald Koruun Mace Windu.
Mace said "Jedi knight Quinlan Vos on Umbara will communicate with us now, he was a acolyte of dooku and had access to his inner circle months ago" Anakin thought to himself "Quinlan Vos on a hologram huh? i heard he was knighted before obi wan... and he trained Aayla to knight hood... why isnt he a master?"
A holoimage appeared and the man spoke "all i know about sidious is that sora bulq once told me Sidious never shows his face to Dooku either, he claims to be ashamed of his unattractive looks... then sora talked about himself and asked a sarcastic question as if anyone can be uglier than me" Anakin said "if hes too afraid to confront us then just maybe sidious is not worth worrying about" His comment angered others who claimed that anger is a path to the darkside.
Ki Adi Mundi said "You obviously dont think things through... Im not yelling cause that will make this problem worse. But if you let dooku live as a prisoner he could provide us information helping us end the war and both parties could meet at a agreement. But now Grievous is on the loose creating havoc as the worse Jedi Hunter ever... This is similar to what happened a year ago in planet Mokivj, you blew up the cortosis mines.. yes.. but your explosive action created volcanic activity that ruined the planet's habitat and farmland."
Quinlan Vos looked on Anakins face with disapproval & disappointment he thought to himself how could he be the chosen one? He then again spoke and told them "masters... my clone unit spies have told me that General Grievous is on Utapau, who do you recommend sending their to capture him?" Agen Kolar answered "it is possible that our transmissions are being spied on and recieved by a enemy.. so our decision will be very private"
Cin Drallig said "We will send our representative to capture him without others knowing of it, instead for now Quinlan focus on preventing the Umbarans from joining separatists" Obi Wan asks Shaak Ti (as the holovid of Quinlan disappeared) "what is the status on locating Boba Fett?" Shaak told him "i have recieved clues that he is working with Jabba The Hutt.. i am going to bribe Jabba for giving me boba"

Anakin is distraught:
Anakin was angry he felt in his head that the jedi council was supporting slavery, they already did not do any action against the slavers who mistreated his mother and now they wanna bribe jabba with wealth or captives in any way making him even more successful in life!
He was so caught up in his own anger that he did not hear with his ears or notice the council member Stass questioning him "why havent you interrogated anyone yet?" Anakin said "i was planning on doing it a day after! unlike you bozos i have a life.. a birthday!" Mace said "you are a 23 year old adult then, all the more reason for why u should not get any excuses of not being to even try doing a task!"
Anakin tells them "go F yourself! i refuse to be a member of this pathetic council anymore! die like your padawan Depa did on Horuun Kal!" showing the middle finger to Yoda he just walked away out of the high council room/chamber the temple and straight to palpatine.

The Council decided who they will send;
Obi Wan asked.. "what should we do about anakin?" Yoda told "calm down he will.. for now capturing Grievous our most important matter.. is" Shaak Ti said "i believe master Kenobi should go" Mace Windu concured and proposed "let us put it to a vote" Obi Wan thought maybe the council wanted to take serious action against anakin like murder or arrest him taking advantage of obi's absence. He said "but i can not vote" Mace insisted "you must vote"
Cin Drallig, Obi Wan, Ki Adi Mundi voted against the proposal but Yoda, Mace, Stass Allie, Ki Adi Mundi, Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar all voted in favor of sending Obi Wan Kenobi to Utapau. Mace smiled & said "you will be given enough clones to conquer three planets the diameter of Utapau" Saesee Tiin says "may the force be with us all"
