Chapter 25: Downfall Of An Imposter
Activity Log: Grand Army of the Republic, 212th Battalion
Situation: Order 65 has been given. The treasonous Chancellor must be eliminated. Avatar Aang and the Jedi Generals have begun rallying troops and alerting allies as they formulate a plan to bring down the now revealed Dark Lord of The Sith.
Mission: To kill the former Commander-In-Chief, Chancellor Palpatine. His authority is now null and void; he is a Sith and a threat to the Republic.
Execution: Avatar Aang and selected Jedi Generals will confront the Chancellor and bring him to his knees should he refuse to surrender. And given the circumstances, that is likely. Once Palpatine is deposed, the Senate will instate an Interim Chancellor until the crisis can be resolved through a proper election.
Location: Ba Sing Se
Time: 26 weeks and three days since the Battle of the North Pole.
"Yes, Aang!" Avatar Roku said. "Toph's suspicions are correct! That man Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord that Dooku warned Master Kenobi about! You must stop him here and now before he brings your world to ruin!"
Aang, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Plo Koon, and Aayla Secura were stunned. How fortunate they were to have meditated into the Spirit World when they did!
"But...I still don't understand!" Obi-Wan said in utter disbelief. "How has he been able to conceal his presence from us for this long?! Our Masters on the Council are beyond experienced! How-?!"
Roku looked at Obi-Wan with a drooping expression that said it all.
"With all due respect to you and your Jedi Order, you imbeciles built your temple on top of an old Sith shrine. Did you really think no problems would arise from that?"
"How do you even know that part of our history?" Secura inquired.
"I'm literally in the Spirit World," Roku replied with the same expression. "Moving through time and discovering the secrets of the outside universe is basically all we can do in here."
"Fair point, Avatar Roku," Plo Koon bowed. "We are grateful for your warning."
Anakin, for his part, clenched his fists in anger. His mentor and friend, a man who'd claimed to believe in him, had only been maintaining a facade the entire time. Anakin wanted to try and deny it. Every part of his emotions screamed at him to defend the Chancellor. However, unlike previous times, Anakin knew better than to do as such. The visions Roku had shown them were solid proof after all.
Palpatine was indeed Darth Sidious.
"So...what do we do from here?!" Anakin asked in confusion. "We can't just assassinate the Chancellor on the spot! The citizens of the Republic would turn against us!"
"They'll turn against you if you let Mr. Ozai 2.0 take over without a fight!" Aang argued. "If we don't act now, he's most likely going to reveal himself and try to destroy both your Jedi Order and my world!"
"One thing at a time, friends!" Aayla Secura reminded. "If we move too quickly, Darth Sidious will only detect our moves and retaliate!"
"Master Fisto's clone assassin that aided Aang and his friends is very skilled," Plo Koon proposed. "If we notify Master Fisto, he can send Lieutenant Jonah to gather some incriminating proof of the Chancellor's treachery."
"That won't work," Anakin said. "He'd see that coming from a mile away. It needs to be someone he won't suspect."
Anakin paused.
