Turning Tricks

How the turns have tabled

A/N: Hello, everyone! I just want to warn you all that English is not my first language and that this is also one of my first works, so beware. :)

 "I have what you need, young one." The voice of the chancellor was as controlled as can be, rivaling even Obi-Wan in the drama department. Anakin learned on Tatooine that when someone watched their tone that carefully, they wanted something out of you.

"I have the power of The Dark Side. I have the power to solve all your problems." And there it was. He just wanted Anakin to abandon every single one of his beliefs and betray everyone he ever loved, you know, nothing big.

"Is it possible to learn this power ?" Deception came with as much ease as breathing to him, it was something he had done all his life. First his master back on his planet of origin, then the world. He was in his element when he was not himself, but someone he could mold as he was talking. It was nothing set in stone and it could change at any time, compared to the pillars that grounded him when he fancied himself an honest man. Anakin was in no way afraid of the withered up thing in front of him, but he also knew that the withered up thing was no fool. He knew the Chancellor must have some sort of backup plan in case he denied the offer. He also knew the plan Palpatine was weaving ran bigger than himself. He could now afford killing him now and eradicating his only way of access to whatever ugly blanket he made.

"I could teach you, child. All of them would pale at your power." Obi-Wan would be laughing his ass of right now. He could already hear it.

"And what would this power require ?" Anakin hoped he did not venture too close with that one. If Moth over here believed him, he could suggest spying or whatever.

"You would no longer need to control your rage, you would no longer need to hide your hate." Now that ladies and gentlemen, is how you trap a fool. The young knight was kind of ashamed that he let his weakness be that obvious, but if it was not, he would have never been presented with this proposal and The Force knows how much this whole fuckery would have advanced.

"You are involved with the separatists, aren't you?" It was not out of the question for someone who is plotting the downfall of The Republic to work with the other annoying thorn in his ass.

"I raised what you call The Separatists, my dear." He had a smug look on his face, the sick fuck was actually proud. Proud of the sleepless nights Padme had wondering whether he was dead in a ditch somewhere, proud of his clone brothers bodies decomposing in some random planet, proud of Ahsoka being sent to some stinking place planet somewhere. He was furious, but now he would finally be able to blame his problems on their true cause, instead of Obi-Wan.

"And say I accept the proposal, what comes next ?" Anakin tried to look like he was suppressing glee and suspicion at the same time, as opposed to the blind rage that banged itself on the corners of his brain, fighting to let free. He did not know if Sith could read minds, but he was not about to let this whole thing go south because he acted like a five year old and let Palpatine sense his emotions.

"Tonight, I have installed chips in the head of the clones, they will kill all The Jedi at my order." That was soon, too soon for Anakins liking.

"I should warn you, the Kaminoans are hiding some sort of weapon, I saw the plans with my own eyes when I went to inspect the armies. I was not meant to, but no one was around to stop. They think it can destroy a planet in seconds, reduce it to atoms. I believe no one else in The Senate knows of this and I certainly did not tell anyone."

"Very good child. Well that more than likely will delay our plan. How advanced is this prototype you speak of ?" The Jedi was spitting more bullshit than Hondo on a bad day. He hasn't stepped foot on Kamino since the underwater attack, but considering the situation lying was not exactly the worst sin in this room. 

A/N: I do hope you enjoyed this chapter. I meant it to serve as an introduction, you can expect future ones to be longer. As for updates, I plan to make one every monday from this day forward
