Chapter 2 Sidious Vs Vader

Darth Sidious, the most powerful sith Lord of all time, came onto the bridge of the Executor. He saw his much younger apprentice, Darth Vader stood right at the front, speaking with some of the ship's captains. Lord Sidious walked over to his apprentice.

"Lord Vader," Sidious greeted.

"My master," Darth Vader replied.

"Are you continuing your search for the young Skywalker?" Sidious asked. Because he could be my equal, unlike Vader, who was never meant to replace me after he got defeated by Obi Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. That would never have happened if Grievous had done his job on Utapau and killed that foolish Jedi.

"Yes my master," Vader replied.

"Where will you look?" Sidious asked.

"Everywhere my Master," Vader said.

"You believe he will join us?" Sidious quizzed.

"Yes, he can be turned into a Sith my Master," Vader said.

"There can't be three Sith Vader," Sidious replied. "Traitor!"

"Ah," Vader ignited his lightsaber, a glowing red colour.

Sidious lightsaber appeared in his right hand from his robes. "You fool, your no match for the Dark Lord of the Sith!" He ignited it.

"I am the master now," Vader said.

"You fool," Sidious said as he rushed towards Vader. Sidious stabbed his lightsaber towards Vader's chest. Vader parried the strike with his lightsaber, using his brute force to push the lightsaber back towards Sidious. Sidious thrust his lightsaber towards Vader's legs, but again Vader parried the strike, then Vader broke the deadlock and struck his lightsaber against Palpatine's lightsaber several times in the same place, using all his strength.

Military officers on board the executor began leaving their posts and duties to watch the duel between the Emperor of the Galactic Empire and his right hand man, Lord Vader.

"Who do you bet on?" One of the officers asked, just loud enough for the other Imperial officers to hear.

"Palpatine all the way," Another officer offered as an answer.

"Your kidding, nah it's got to be Vader," Another Imp officer argued.

Palpatine unleashed a barrage of strikes at Vader, but Vader managed to parry each strike and counter attack with his own strength. Vader is strong in Lightsaber combat, he is nearly as strong as Mace Windu and Yoda, when it comes too a duel. But how strong and flexible is he at using the Force? Palpatine thought as he took a step back.

"You can't win my old master," Vader said. "I'm the Master."

"Your not strong enough to be the master, you've always been the apprentice Vader," Sidious said. "First it was Qui-Gon, then Obi Wan and Yoda. Now Me. You may have trained many apprentices like Ahsoka Tano, and Galen Marek but you still had a master." Palpatine retorted.

"Prepare to die," Vader said.

Palpatine raised his free hand; lightning shot out of his hand and it came flashing in streaks at Vader. Vader raised his lightsaber to block the lightning. The lightning carried on coming like a river, for several moments but Vader managed to hold his ground. Palpatine then stopped with the lightning.

"You're growing weak old man, just like Obi Wan Kenobi on the death star," Vader said, using the dun-moch form, like Dooku did against him back on Geonosis. Palpatine reacted with concentrating all his force power in his mind.

"What are you doing old man?" Vader asked. Vader began to move towards Palpatine.

Palpatine then using his Force power unleashed a small thought bomb that emitted like a blast of energy; that hit Vader, and some of the other imperial officers. Usually a thought bomb can devastate an entire planet of population, but Palpatine being the most powerful Sith of all time, managed to concentrate it into a single blast directed at Vader; some imp officers got the blast as well.

Palpatine watched as Vader fell down to the floor, barely breathing.

"You have failed Vader, your son will be my new apprentice," Palpatine said.

"N-no." Vader said, but then Palpatine heard the breathing from his suit stop.
