"Well... this is certainly one terrible way to die." Obi-Wan can't help but say as they find themselves surrounded inside the area, tied up and helpless to do anything... the sith apprentice of Sidious a former Jedi master who become a sith.

Count Dooku or now known as the sith... Darth Tyrannus? It was an edgy name that's equally as ridiculous and cliche as the other siths who had chosen their names to represent their deep and most darkest selves which was entirely... edgy.

One wonders how these people put fear, into the hearts of their enemy when their name alone makes them an utterly ridiculous foe, true the force make them a formidable foe due to its... capabilities.

However when stripped of it they would become lambs for the slaughter, easily killed by a hail of bullets while their lightsaber as incredible of a weapon it is for both Sith and Jedi, they were useless and would be much easier targets to kill.

The same could be said with Anakin and his master at the moment as they were utterly helpless at their situation, there's no escape and even if they managed to free themselves from their predicament.

They still have an entire planet that they need to escape, filled with a vast droid army and not to mention heavily armed fleet that's just waiting to be unleashed into the galaxy by the CIS to wage a war.

Not to mention Count Dooku who would not allow them to escape, there's also the fact they had Padme with them who followed along side Anakin because the two were secretly in some relationship.

A law which Anakin no doubt broke and if the rest of the Jedi finds out, who knows knows the consequences may be, since they were after all forbidden to be attached or even have a 'relationship'.

Deeming it as a hindrance and weakness to the Jedi that would be exploited by others especially the Sith who would try to tempt Jedis and make them fall for the darkside, becoming siths themselves.

However this method was also flawed as it not only pushed Anakik to the darkside... it made him vulnerable to the temptation of Sidious, which will no longer work now that he was truly dead.

Of course Dooku doesn't know this as he was cut-off from the wider galaxy, blinded by a false channel all across the system, which kept him ignorant of what was about to happen on Geonosis.

"Still having the humor even in the face of death master?" Anakin asked a bit amused in spite of of their situation, it's better to think positively than to have any negative thoughts if death was near.

"Well we cant have a terrible moment in our last hour? Better to feel positively than not." Obi-Wan replied which earns a brief chuckle from his apprentice who was more concerned... for his lover's life.

"At least we have each other in our final moment." Padme tried to lighten the mood as well which worked a bit. "True, that's a better assurance than simply just alone and no one to remember you."

Obi-Wan remarked as Dooku appears on the top of the Arena, one of the balcony that faced them as he gave an indifferent look, seeing the state that the three were in made him slightly amused.

"Impressive you've survived this far, but I'm afraid this is where I draw the line for you Jedi... you've seen too much and it's time that you all die." Dooku spoke as he stares at all the surrounding droid.

"The Republic wont stand by once this is known to them Dooku." Padme warned as the sith apprentice scoffed. "They will be too late to realize what has happened here and you all will not be there to see it." Dooku replied with a confident tone.
