Chapter 2 Return of the Sith
Luke Leia and Han were sitting at the fire, discussing recent events. Luke was very happy since Sith Reign ended and his father turned back to the Light. Leia was thinking about the reconstruction of the Empire into the Republic but she did not talk to men about that matter since it was not very interesting to them.
"Solo, Skywalkers"Mon Mothma called "I think you need to see this."
The three followed the former Senator into the tent. They were pretty confused and it was unclear on what was going on. Mon switched the TV on and put the Volume high enough for them to hear.
"What is it Mon? Another attack?"
"Worse, just watch this"
They watched the Imperial News Channel and saw a group of Moffs appear. They seemed to be little nervous and quite unhappy. Then, a woman who was a Togruta came and stood at the podium. One of the Moffs spoke.
"During recent events at the Battle of Endor, we had two very unfortunate losses. Both the Emperor and his right hand man Darth Vader were killed, together with the destruction of the Death Star II. However, even so the Empire is strong as ever. Let me introduce the successor to the throne Empress Lord Malum"
The Togruta walked towards the camera and looked into it. After that she spoke.
"Dear Imperials, the Rebel Alliance succeeded in destroying our main weapon and in killing Emperor and my Master Lord Vader. However, I am still here. I will bring those traitors who think highly of themselves and crash them all. The Rebellion will get destroyed, that I promise. "
The Rebel command was shocked at the news. Mon and Leia were unhappy since it meant now that they needed to fight Empire once again. Luke was unhappy since there was another Sith in the Galaxy, ready to strike them down. He has never seen that Sith Empress, yet something about her was familiar to him.
In Imperial Palace, Ahsoka was talking with Moffs when suddenly she sensed danger. She jumped and the bullet, which was meant to kill her, killed another Moff instead. Lord Malum saw a person, sitting in the upper level of the Palace with a gun. She activated her lightsaber and then Force pulled the person and cut his weapon.
"Please show me mercy!"That attacker screamed for mercy yet he almost knew that he will not get any. Malum looked at him and then with her foot kicked him in the jaw. The guy fell on the floor.
"Mercy, you want mercy? Oh, you will not get any. First you assaulted the highest person in the Empire and did so during a public meeting. I am afraid that you will die!" Tano lifted the person in the air and started choking him. His face went blue and it was clear that his body lacked oxygen. After sufficient torture by Empress standards, she dropped him on the ground and called the guards. They came and held the guy.
"Now you and everyone else in the Empire will know what will happen to them when they cross my path!" The guy struggled but he could not do anything. Lord Malum held her lightsaber in her usual unorthodox Shien form and then jump towards the prisoner. Then, everyone across the galaxy, who was watching saw a head rolling away from the body.
The Rebel Alliance command was not happy. They understood that now problems returned. Meanwhile Han looked closer at the transmission in the TV and suddenly he remembered who was standing in the Imperial Palace.
"Guys, I think I know who the Empress is!"
