ROFL Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news

[Bluemage]

From Shoulda Kept the Manual, a SW short.  Note that this is basically the whole fic.

The day had finally come. The day he'd been waiting for since he'd
slain his master. Skywalker was now his apprentice as he had planned,
and in moments the Jedi order would be no more. All that was left for
him to give the order...
Which order was it again? He'd mostly
repressed the day he'd spent trawling through the GAR Contingency
Orders, but he vaguely remembered it being somewhere in the sixties...
Oh yes, now he remembered.
He
confidently spoke into the communicator which would carry his order out
to the troops throughout the galaxy and start the purge of the
unsuspecting Jedi.
"Execute Order 65." he said.
There was a
sense of confusion at this, but it was to be expected considering the
amount of time the troops had loyally followed their Jedi Generals. Any
second now, he would feel the betrayal and despair as the Light blinked
out of the galaxy never to rise again.
Any second now...
&!&!&!&!&
Nobody
was quite sure what happened, but by the end of the day, Chancellor
Palpatine had been revealed to be a Sith Lord as he was killed by the
501st Legion in front of a number of Holonet News cameras, and Anakin
Skywalker was off getting help that he desperately needed thanks to the
damage that had been done to him by said Sith Lord and a number of
traumatic events that had gone unresolved over the years.
When one
of the Clone Troopers who had been involved in the incident was
interviewed, he said "Well, we weren't sure whether or not we should
have followed the order since it was only supposed to be issued either
after a vote in the Senate or by the Security Council, but he's the
Supreme Commander, and if he orders us to detain him, who were we to say
no?"
&!&
Order 65: In
the event of either (i) a majority in the senate declaring the Supreme
Commander (Chancellor) to be unfit to issue orders, or (ii) the Security
Council declaring him unfit to issue orders, and an authenticated order
being received by the GAR, commanders shall be authorized to detain the
Supreme Commander, with lethal force if necessary, and command of the
GAR shall fall to the acting Chancellor until a successor is appointed
or alternative authority identified as outlined in section 6(iv)
