As they boarded the ship, all of the Jedi sat as it took us to destroy Count Dooku.

"This must be Count's final round." Mace Windu announced.

Anakin looked at Obi-Wan. He nodded his head at him before mouthing "Together."

"Mundi and I will head with Master Yoda. Obi-Wan and Anakin will head with Almeta to find Count Dooku. May the Force be with us all."
Almeta was on the opposite ship with the next group of Jedi.

"You seem to be quite happy, Anakin." Obi-Wan said as they walked towards the platform.
"We're going to destroy Count Dooku, Master."
"Are you sure that's it?" He asked.

Anakin looked at him as they continued to walk. "I've been so stressed lately, Master. With Padmé and the children's return, I'm finally at peace."
"Why?" He asked.

"Because I've come to my senses fully, Master. I'm going to show you and the Jedi Council I am made to join the Council."

"I believe you're already there, Anakin. But I don't have any say on who gets to join the Council. That is up to the Galactic Republic and Master Windu."

Almeta ran towards them as her ship boarded.
"Lets do this." Obi-Wan said, patting Almeta and his back.

The room was darkened as the three stepped inside; only a dim light from the ceiling and work boards glowing the room.

A shadow stood ten feet away. "I was beginning to wonder what was taking so long." Count said.

"You take him in on the left." Obi-Wan demanded.

Anakin walked slowly, retrieving his lightsaber.
"You underestimate our power, Count." Obi-Wan told him.

The room glowed lighter as all three turned their sabers on. Count's came to life; the opposite color of theirs.

Anakin allowed the Force flow through his system as he inhaled a sharp breath. The heat of the Sith's lightsaber radiated on his skin, inching toward his arm.

"Wouldn't mind taking out the other arm." Count said, a wild grin plastered on his face.
Anakin could hear Almeta gasping for air as she did her best to shield herself.

"Your Master trains you well, but you're still weak, just like your parents were." He said to her.
A wave of anger washed off of Almeta as her eyes widened.

It wasn't long before he force pushed Obi-Wan and Anakin feet away, crashing into the steel wall.
The room span as Anakin rubbed his temples. He looked around frantically for his lightsaber, seeing it on the other side of the room.
He stretched his hand out and let it snap into his hands.

Anakin spotted Almeta pushing herself to attack Count as they moved swiftly around the station room.

"My parents will have vengeance!" She screamed, jumping off of the glass screens to the ship map. She flipped into the air, her saber clashing with his.

Anakin staggered to his feet, along with Obi-Wan as droids marched into the room. They ran towards them, taking them out.

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he looked at Almeta.
Anakin ran towards them as Count stumbled back. As he did so, he forced pushed Almeta until she was across the room, falling hard to the ground.

He quickly lifted his lightsaber, hitting his until he fell back again, along with his arms. His lightsaber flew into the air, and he caught it.
Anakin crossed the sabers over his neck, hovering over his shoulders as he watched in panic.

"You lose, Count."

"Kill him!" Almeta and Obi-Wan yelled.

Anakin inhaled as he slid the lightsabers quickly closer to him, his decapitated head roll towards the floor.

All that was heard now in the room was the turning off the their lightsabers, and heavy breathing. Anakin looked over at Obi-Wan who nodded at him.

Anakin walked to Almeta and helped her off of the ground. She sighed before standing up straight.

"Finally."

Anakin held an arm around her for support. "He's gone."
