Lightsabers drawn, the front line of defense moves forward. There is a mantra coming from the mass moving toward them. The entirety of the Grand Army of the Republic stationed on Coruscant is now marching towards them. They are met with a wall of incoming Clone Troopers marching towards them, gunning down any Jedi that happens to be standing nearby. He reaches the Temple side of the Processional Way at the same time as some of the other Masters. The whisper of warning in the Force changes to a consistent shout, and he pushes harder, running as fast as he can to the main hallway of the Temple. As he runs, he tries to contact Master Windu, but it met with silence.

Breaking into a sprint, he leaves the Council room and makes his way to the lower levels of the Temple. A screaming in the Force of the loss of some of its greatest Masters, a dark panic, and the light within him whispering a warning: Something is coming. He steels himself then, for the choice he is about to make. That was the reason he had betrayed his vow to the Order those three years ago. Living without her would be living an incomplete life.

Palpatine-if that’s even his name-promised to show him how to save them, and he seemed convinced.
