Part 5
When Mace and Anakin arrived at the medical facilities, the physicians were already waiting for them. Before Mace had escorted Anakin there, he had contacted them and told them to expect their arrival. Half a dozen droids, doctors, and nurses were standing in a circle, one with a syringe filled with a very strong sedative. They knew they would need a lot of this to keep Anakin subdued, at least until the Jedi Council was ready for him.
Knowing that nothing he could do now would help his situation, he went along with the plan and let the medical staff inject him with the sedative. He could immediately feel the effect of it and before he knew it, he was on a bed in a deep sleep.
“Thank you for your help. If there are any changes, please contact me immediately. And make sure you have someone watching over him very closely. He could potentially be very dangerous.” Mace then departed and returned to the Council Chambers. A few of the Masters that were still on Corusant were there waiting for him. Holoimages of Masters Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Plo Koon were present as well.
“What are we to do know, Master Yoda?” Asked Ki-Adi. “Now that the Chancellor is dead, how would you like to proceed with the Senate? Are we to give them the truth about the Sith Lord?”
“Hard to decide, what to do. Come out, the truth may, whether wanted or not, it is,” answered Yoda.
Mace then brought up the subject of Anakin and what they were to do regarding the situation with him. He knew that with what Anakin had admitted to him in Palpatine’s office, his days as a Jedi were numbered.
“Hmm, meditate on this, I will. Young Skywalker’s fate, later it will be decided. Now, concentrate we must, intact, the Senate, we must keep.”

Prophecy of the Force: Part 4
Part 4
“Your fate will be decided later. But for now, we need to concentrate on ending this war, and we need your help.” Mace was not content with needing Anakin, for anything. If it were up to him, he’d be expelled on the spot.
Fortunately for Anakin, it wasn’t up to Mace. He knew that there were consequences for his actions, and he was prepared to face them, but not now. He needed to make sure Padmé was safe.
“Anakin, let’s go. We have work to do.” Mace was standing at the entrance to the office waiting for Anakin to follow him. Anakin finally joined Mace at the door. As they left the chancellor’s Senatorial suite, Anakin looked in dismay at the bodies of the fallen Jedi, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tin, and Kit Fisto. It was finally sinking in that Palpatine was evil, and that Mace had done the right thing. But he still couldn’t help thinking about what was going to happen to Padmé.
When Mace and Anakin arrived at the Jedi Temple, there was a message waiting for them from Obi-Wan. Mace then delivered the news about Chancellor Palpatine.
“Are you sure? Oh my, what about Anakin?” Obi-Wan was scared for his former apprentice. He knew that Anakin was very close to the chancellor and would take the news very hard. Mace informed Obi-Wan that Anakin was not doing well and would probably have to be sedated for a time being. Obi-Wan decided that it was time to return to Corusant to check on Anakin.
Anakin was waiting outside the door when Mace exited the room where he had been conversing with Obi-Wan.
“Anakin, for your own safety, I’m taking you to the infirmary. Now let’s go.” Anakin followed Mace, with his head lowered. He was so ashamed of what he had wanted to do, what he would have done. But more than that, he was ashamed of what he still might do.
