War!

The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.

As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, three Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor...

The air crackles with tension as Anakin and Raina stand over the fallen Count Dooku, their lightsabers humming menacingly in the dimly lit chamber. The weight of their actions hangs heavy upon them, a stark reminder of the moral quandaries they face as Jedi Knights.

Chancellor Palpatine's words echo in their minds, urging them to strike down their defenseless foe. But as they exchange a fleeting glance, a silent communication passes between them—a shared understanding of the gravity of their situation.

"We shouldn't..." Anakin's voice wavers, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.

"Do it," Palpatine commands once more, his tone insistent.

Anakin and Raina hesitate, their resolve faltering in the face of their conflicting emotions. They are torn between duty and conscience, between the demands of their leader and the principles of the Jedi Order.

But then, with a shared sense of determination, they act as one. Their lightsabers flash with blinding intensity as they swiftly dispatch the fallen Count, his lifeless body crumpling to the ground in a heap. The room falls silent, save for the crackling hum of their lightsabers and the heavy weight of regret that settles upon them.

As Palpatine stands before them, a twisted smile playing upon his lips, Anakin and Raina cannot help but feel a gnawing sense of unease. They had crossed a line, straying from the path of the Jedi and succumbing to the darkness that lurked within.

"You did well, young ones," Palpatine praises, his voice dripping with satisfaction, "He was too dangerous to be kept alive."

Anakin and Raina exchange a troubled glance, their hearts heavy with the weight of their actions. Raina's voice trembles as she dares to voice her misgivings.

"Yes...but he was an unarmed prisoner," She asserts, her tone laced with a hint of defiance.

Anakin's expression mirrors her concerns, his brow furrowed in contemplation. He knows deep down that what they have done goes against everything they have been taught as Jedi, yet he cannot shake the feeling of unease that gnaws at him.

"We shouldn't have done that...it's not the Jedi way," He admits, his voice tinged with remorse.

Their words hang in the air, a somber acknowledgment of the choices they have made and the consequences that will surely follow.
