2288. Collapse.
A lonely figure was quietly kneeling in the darkness, in front of the Jedi Temple that was already empty. The cold night wind blew across his body, causing his empty right sleeve to flutter in the wind.
Anakin Skywalker raised his head, and a stream of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes … Finally, it was as if this tear had broken through a dam, and countless tears flowed out of his eyes. From the depths of his throat came a series of sobs that he was trying to suppress.
"Why …? Tell me, why is this happening? Why? Why? " Anakin kept asking questions in the empty Temple. His voice grew louder and louder. "Obi-Wan!! Yoda!! Windu!! Ahsoka!!! Answer me!! Why!! Why??? "
"Why did you abandon me … Why did you abandon the Republic … Why did you abandon the people? Why? " Anakin's cries rang through the sky, but were quickly swallowed up by the endless darkness. In the end, there was not a single ripple.
Thump. He once again knelt on the ground, his hands supporting his knees. His tears dripped onto the marble floor. He did not speak for a long time.
Suddenly, a beeping sound from the communicator broke the silence. He answered the call in a daze, and the news that came from the other end made him feel as if the world was falling apart!
The Separatist robots suddenly appeared on Coruscant, attacked Padmé Amidala's mansion, and kidnapped her. Her whereabouts were unknown!
Anakin almost jumped up on the spot. Driven by the Force, he rushed to the side of the flight tunnel, then raised his hands and aimed at the high-speed hover cars in the air! An incomparably powerful Force suddenly spread out from his body, and this force grew stronger and stronger, even faintly containing the power of the dark side! In the face of this unparalleled power, one of the hover cars was forcibly dragged over! Anakin glanced at the driver who was scared out of his wits, pulled him down, and threw him aside. He then jumped into the hover car and flew towards Padmé's mansion at high speed!
The hover car crashed straight into the mansion. Anakin saw that half of the mansion had been blown up. He ran inside in a frenzy, only to see corpses all over the ground and the wreckage of robots! The doctors and nurses who stayed behind were all killed. There were also many heavily armed strangers, a few pools of melted silver-gray metal, and a few robots that had been chopped into pieces. Anakin had fought several battles with the Guardian Planet, so he could naturally recognize that this robot was a T-X! The Guardian Planet's army was rare, but it was a very troublesome type of robot!
"Padme! Where's Padmé! "Anakin yelled at a clone soldier beside him in a frenzy.
"I'm sorry, General Skywalker. The enemy has obviously been lurking in Coruscant for a long time. Plus, we were attacked everywhere tonight. We couldn't stop them … "The clone commander shook his head.
"Bastard!! I'm asking you where Padmé is! " Anakin's expression turned hideous. He raised his hand and clenched the air. The clone commander was suddenly grabbed by the neck by an invisible force and lifted up! He struggled with all his might, but he could not break free from the control of Anakin's vast Force! The clone soldiers next to him wanted to stop him, but Anakin was their superior, so they were stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, another Force interfered, deftly dispelling Anakin's power, and placed the clone commander on the ground. Just this move alone showed that he had better control than Anakin!
"Calm down, Anakin. He's just trying to solve the problem, "a female voice said.
Anakin turned around abruptly and saw Depa Pilaba standing in front of him! His expression changed. Depa Pilaba had once fallen to the dark side and defeated her own master, Master Windu. After that, she fell into a coma because of the backlash from the dark side. Although not many people in the Jedi Knights knew about this, Anakin was one of the people who knew about it! Anakin subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but he suddenly froze … That's right, what was his position to draw his sword? The opposition between light and darkness? What was light? What was darkness?
Seeing Anakin's expression, Depa Pilaba smiled and said, "Alright, Anakin, I've only just woken up. It pained me to see the fate of the Jedi Knights, but our duty is still here. Protect this country, protect these people! Whether it's the Galactic Republic … or the Galactic Empire … "
She looked at Anakin with some disdain. Was this the so-called Child of Destiny? He was still being toyed with by the High Lord. Because no matter what the Separatists knew, it was not important. Whether he killed Padmé, or the Separatist robots killed Padmé, or even the robots saved Padmé, it was not important. Because the High Lord would naturally have a way to deal with it, and from there, control the situation and force the Chosen One step by step into a dead end. Thinking of this, the sneer on Pilaba's face became even more sinister.
However, Anakin did not care about Pilaba at all. He only asked the clone soldiers sternly, "Which direction did they take Padmé to?! Speak! "
"General, they ran southwest, but this direction is meaningless because they have an accomplice waiting for them. They can turn in another direction at any time," the clone soldier said.
"Then tell me! Why would there be Separatist robots on Coruscant, the capital of the Republic?! Why would there be someone waiting for them to kidnap a councilor here?! Tell me, how many people in this place are traitors!!!??? "Anakin roared madly.
"This … sigh …" The clone soldier was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh and lowered his hand.
At this time, the communicator suddenly rang again. It was Depa Pilaba's communicator. She picked it up and whispered a few words, then looked at Anakin and said solemnly, "The president was attacked by a traitor Jedi Knight and is gravely injured! You are to head to the parliament building immediately! "
"What does this have to do with me?! Padmé is still in the hands of the Separatists. I'm going for her! "Anakin waved his hand and roared.
Depa Pilaba nodded nonchalantly. "Then we'll just watch as the Chairman dies, and then watch as the Republic, which has lost both the Jedi Knights and the Chairman, get razed to the ground by the enemy and plunge into misery and suffering?"
"The Republic … has disappeared!" Anakin said loudly.
"Look around you, then tell me, what has disappeared?" Pilaba said coldly.
Anakin subconsciously turned around and looked at Coruscant in the darkness. He was stunned.
"Go to the parliament building and save the president. At least, he trusts you, "Pilaba said." As for Padmé's whereabouts, I will do my best to find her. "
Anakin gritted his teeth and looked at Pilaba. After a long time, he finally nodded and jumped onto the hoverbike pushed over by the clone soldiers. They sped toward the parliament building.
