Hey there everbody on FanfictionLand! It's Seddielover1990 comin' at ya with the next chapter of my Pokemon : Star Wars Crossover saga! I hope you all liked the previous chapter, and if you are unsure why I left it off with such a cliffhanger, you'll understand why in this chapter! So without further ado, let's GO!
A/N I do not claim any ownership of the two series portrayed in this fanfiction.
On the planet of Naboo, we find Misty with her Lightsaber ignited, pointed to her former friend and ally, Mina, now known as Darth Lupinia. She takes a step towards her old friend with anger in her voice, "Why Mina? Why did you turn to the Dark Side?!" she looks towards Palpatine,"And don't think you're off the hook, what's going on here? You HIRED a Sith to kill off your family?! WHY Palpatine?" she asked with tears beginning to swell in her eyes.
"I do not know who Mina is, for I destroyed her. I am Darth Lupinia. I follow my Lord and Master, Darth Sidious." Lupinia responds. Palpatine chuckles slightly as he says, "Child, you have much to learn of the Force." Misty looks to Palpatine and asks,"What did you say?" "I know that you have missed your friend since her demise, but you should rejoice in the fact that she has become my star pupil in the Force. Child, I am the Dark Lord of the Sith you Jedi have been looking for all this time." Sidious says as he uses the Force to retrieve his Lightsaber from his Brother before igniting it, showing the crimson blade.
"YOU'RE the Sith Lord?! Palpatine how could you?! I trusted you, the Jedi trusted you! How could you turn like this?!" Misty yells out, feeling deeply hurt by all this. Cackling, Sidious replies, "I am Darth Sidous, and I have always been with the Dark Side, even before I could walk as an infant. I slaughtered my family, except for my brother, who until now has served his purpose." He finishes by using the Force to choke his Brother, who offered no resistance and he dies with a sick smile on his face.
Misty looks towards Sidious, and Lupinia with anger all over her face. She raises her saber to take a Form 6 stance, which was the saber form she only used in real combat. "Good child, I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger. Give in to it, as only through me will you achieve a power greater than any Jedi. Join me Misty, and become my new apprentice." Sidious says with his signature grin on his face.
Misty closes her eyes, calming herself down, and letting go of her emotions, before engagging in a saber duel against Sidious, and Lupinia who tried to get in a sneak attack against her. Misty hated having to fight her old friend, but once she looked into her eyes, she knew the gentle, kind, and strong willed Jedi she knew was gone. Replaced by a demon named Lupinia, and must be dealt with. Misty fought using every technique against the two Sith she learned from Ash, and was doing quite well, until Lupinia finally got in an attack to her right bicep, making her drop her Lightsaber to the ground.
"That's quite enough Lupinia, I shall handle the Jedi from here." Sidious says as he puts his Lightsaber into his robe sleeve. Lupinia says nothing as she deactivates her saber and walks off to another room, leaving Misty kneeling on the ground in pain alone with Sidious. "I can't believe you would be such a monster, lying to the Jedi after everything we've been through. You disgust me." Misty says with as much venom in her voice as possible while trying to heal herself using the Force.
Cackling sidious replies, "Misty you have so much to learn about me. I used the Dark Side to cloud the Jedi's judgement from the moment I became a politician. I used my power and influence to climb the ranks as a politician with a single goal in mind, to destroy the Jedi, and corrupt the Republic and make it become my Empire. But I can't have you blabbing my secrets to the Council. So I shall show you the full power of the Dark Side, to keep you from telling your little friends about my secrets." Sidious says with a cold, sinister voice before raising his hand and shoots thousands of deadly bolts of Force Lightning into Misty, torturing her relentlessly until he felt that she had learned her lesson.
"Now, get off my planet you filthy Jedi, and if you tell anyone about my secrets, you WILL die a slow and painful death." Sidious says as he walks to the shadows with a cackling laughter echoing in the room, leaving Misty in tears from the pain she just endured. Misty slowly grabs her Lightsaber after healing herself a bit, running in the direction where Sidious disappeared, only to find a fire blazing on the Palpatine Family home, and a note on the ground. She picked it up and read. "Tell the Council that you fought the assassin to procect my brother to the best of your ability but lost consiousness during the battle, and when you came to, my brother was dead and the house was on fire. Don't forget to keep my secret, or you WILL feel my wrath, my new apprentice."
Misty tossed the letter into the fire, and got to her ship, and taking off towards Coruscant. She needed help from her Husband, and Master Windu. She didn't care if Sidious killed her, but she was going to tell the Council about him and alert the Republic of the threat of Palpatine, now known to her as Sidious.
Once arriving at the Temple, she ran to the Council chamber, to find the entire Council there. She walked to the center of the room before collasping to the floor in tears, and begins telling the Council of her findings. "I bring you terrible news! Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for!" "WHAT?! That's preposterous!" Master Anakin yells out.
"I assure you it's true Master. When I arrived at his family home, his brother showed me a Lightsaber hilt that he claimed was his as a means of self defense againts Sith attacks, but when he took me to where the family was killed, Palpatine was there, waiting for me! And that's not all, his true name is Darth Sidious!" The Council was shocked to hear this, especially Obi-wan who until now had been silent.
"I was told by Count Dooku when he captured me on Geonosis, that the Senate was being controlled by a Darth Sidous but I never believed him. How do you know that he was telling you the truth?" he asked Misty. Misty stood up and showed the scar on her right bicep, where she recieved the stab from the fight. "His new apprentice Darth Lupinia, did this while I fought against her and Sidious. Then he used Force Lightning to torture me using this wound as the center of my torture." Misty says with her emotions now gone and speaking in her more calm, controlled voice.
Ash was flabbergasted to hear all of this. He had had enough. "I do not wish to hear anymore of this. The Council must diliberate our next move regarding the traitor, and bringing him to justice. Misty, please take a seat and allow yourself to rest." he ordered. Before doing so Misty added, "There's one more thing Master, his new apprentice, is Master Mina. She faked her death, and allied herself with Sidious as his new apprentice."
The Council was visibly shocked to hear this, especially Ash. The room was silent, you could hear a pin drop before Ash stood and walked to the center of the room. "Members of the Jedi Council, we have been givien information that surpasses our worst fears. Master Windu, I want you to lead the arrest of Chancellor Palpatine, now known as Darth Sidious, given your speciality of using Vapaad against powerful Sith such as him. I would do it myself, but you know as well I do, that my style of Form 7 is nowhere near your level." Ash orders Windu.
Windu stands and bows to Ash and says, "It will be done Master Ketchum. I will take Kit, and any other volunteers to apprehend the traitor." Windu says as he and three other Jedi leave the chamber. "Misty, I want you to go with Windu only to tell him what you know about his fighting style and what he can expect since you undoubtedly fought against him yourself. I will send Master Skywalker with you to aide in the fight should his apprentice be there. The rest of us will be surrounding the Chancellor's office should things go down worse than that." Ash ordered his beloved. Misty without a word stood, bowed to her husband, and left the chamber with Anakin in tow behind her. Ash then took his seat back in his chair, with fear written all over his face.
"Are you alright Master? You look quite ill." Master Ki-adi Mundi asked. "No I am not Master Mundi. My wife just fought and was tortured by the very Sith Lord who we have never been able to find, even Master Yoda never could. I fear for Master Windu and the others." Ash replied before standing, and ordering the rest of the Council to join him in surrounding the Chancellor's office just in case.
A/N : I'm going to be using the same lines from Revenge of the sith between Palpatine and Windu from the original arrest scene, but with my own take on how it plays out.
After spending several minutes walking towards Palpatine's office, Misty relayed his fighting style towards Windu, and warned him to watch out for his lightning as it was even more powerful than Dooku's when he was still alive. They enter the office to find Palpatine in his chair waiting for them.
"Master Windu, it is good to see you old friend. I must say you're here sooner than expected." Palpatine says in a calm voice noticing three other Jedi behind Windu. Each Jedi unclips his/her respective Lightsabers as Windu speaks. "In the name of the Galactic Senate, you are under arrest Chancellor."
Getting angry, sensing Misty behind the other Jedi he asks, "Are you threatening me Master Jedi?" Windu responds coldy, "The Senate will decide your fate." "I AM the Senate." Palpatine replies getting angerier by the second. "NOT. YET." Windu answers. Palpatine slowly stands, revealing his Lightsaber from his sleeve and says,"It's treason then." Ignighting his blade, before jumping into a spinning attack, yelling loudly with a howl, before stabbing one of the Council members, and engagging the others in a fight.
Outside the building, Ash the rest of the Council watch in horror at the way Palpatine fights, killing Jedi after Jedi, leaving only Misty and Windu standing, and engagging againts Windu only. "I told you not to reveal my secrets Misty! Once I deal with this Jedi, I shall make you suffer for your betrayal." Palpatine yells during his duel againts Windu.
"I did what any other Jedi would have done Sidious. You have no one to blame for your position but yourself." Misty replies. "Are you so sure about that Misty?" she hears from the shadows behind her. Misty barely ducks under a statue being thrown at her and igniting her Lightsaber and suddenly finding herself parrying attacks from Lupinia, recieveing multiple cuts during the battle. During all this, Anakin walks up to Ash and asks, "Master, as the Chosen One, I request that if Windu should fall, that I charge in and finish the Chancellor personally. He was my mentor after all, outside of Obi-wan."
"I can't afford to allow that Anakin. The Chancellor is too powerful, even for you. His skill in combat and his knowledge of the Force rivials that of Yoda, and if you were to go in there, things could change drastically for us all." Ash replies with a sad look on his face, feeling a terrible event was soon going to happen. "It's fortunate that he went easy on Misty when she fought him, because based on Yoda's reports during the Clone Wars, if he had actually fought her with his full power, she would be dead right now." Ash concludes.
"Then that's all the more reason I should be in there and not her Master. She's your wife, and you're allowing her to be in there with that monster!" Anakin begs. Ash grabs him by the collar of his robes and yells, "I KNOW THAT! But I trust my wife's judgement. She's just as strong with the Force as the rest of us, if not more so in more ways than one."
Anakin shoves off from Ash's grip and backs off, but with a look of distain. Ash was more worried about the situation than the rest of the Council, he could sense something was coming, but what it was he couldn't tell. The Dark Side clouded everything from him.
Back inside, Windu uses his Vaapad against Sidious expertly turning his powers against him, before finally cornering him in the window of his office after disarming him of his Lightsaber and kicking him down. Misty fends off Lupinia long enough to see Windu with the tip of his Lightsaber at Sidious' throat. The duel was over, Windu had won and was about to arrest him.
"You are under arrest, my "Lord". he says coldy as he looked into the empty eyes of Sidous who was showing fear from having lost the duel before turning to look towards Misty. Misty Force pushes Lupinia into a wall, knocking her out before walking towards Sidous and Windu, with Windu raising his had to her signalling her not to get too close. "Darth Sidious, in the name of the Galactic Sentate and the Jedi Order, I hereby place you and Darth Lupinia under arrest for your crimes against the Republic, as well as your crimes behind the Clone Wars." Misty says as he too raises the tip of her Lightsaber towards Sidious' throat.
"The oppression of the Sith will never return, you have lost." Windu says. Sidious responds, "No. No, no, YOU will die!" he shouts as he suddenly blasts Force Lightning towards Windu, but Windu reacts by blocking it with his Lightsaber, and sending the blasts back onto Sidious, deforming and scarring him. Misty stands back with horror on her face, not able to stop herself from looking at the scene before her. Suddenly she felt a pain from behind her into her side. Turning to look behind her, Lupinia stood with her Lightsaber run through Misty's body, before pulling out, dropping her to the ground.
Ash, having seen enough, blasted through the wall and attacked Lupinia in rage, letting the Dark Side cloud his judgement, something that he vowed would never happen. Ash had allowed the Dark Side to completely take over, fueling his attacks and his power against his former friend. Anakin and the rest of the Council entered the room to see that Sidous had given up after nearly dying from his Force Lightning being projected back on him from Windu.
"I am going to end this, once and for all!" Windu shouts. "You can't" anakin replies. Windu cuts his eyes to him as anakin continues, "He must stand trial." Windu responds, "He has control of the Senate and the courts, he's too dangerous to be left alive." raising his Lightsaber, ready to end it all. Sidous, who now realizes that it's all but over starts begging. "Please don't" he says meekly at first. "He must live!" Anakin yells.
"PLEASE DON'T!" Sidious yells. Windu begins swinging his blade down towards Sidious' neck, Anakin standing there, too stunned to do anything, as he watches the blade sever Sidious' head from his body, rolling out the window and down to the ground several stories below. Anakin also succumbs to the Dark side, but unlike Master Ketchum moments before, keeps himself in control, and looks at Windu with hatered and disgust, before shifting that hatred towards the remains of Sidious.
Anakin then uses the Force to ignite the body in flames, using the Dark Side in such a way that terrified the Council, save for Ash who was still dealing with Lupinia in the other room. Ash uses his most devasating attacks against Lupinia, letting his hatred and memories of the past he shared with his long time friend and mentor, before being physically thrown across the room by Anakin and Windu. Lupinia, barely able to stand, shuts off her Lightsaber, and kneels to the floor, surrerndering to the Jedi while saying, "I sensed my Master's demise, and hoped that it would be Ash who had done it. Thank you, Master Windu, for being as merciful as you were when you took his life."
"You're lucky that we're sparring your life because of your past deeds on the Council when I was still a youngling." Anakin replies. Ash stands up with his Lightsaber still glowing, but as he looks at the two Jedi standing before him, he looks down at his hands, before dropping the Lightsaber to the floor, and breaking down into tears. "Anakin, Mace, forgive me, for I have shown great weakness as your Grand Master." Ash begins. "I have allowed the Dark Side to corrupt me, and I have tainted the Honor of Master Yoda. I am not worthy to lead the Jedi." he says with tears streaming down his face.
"Th-that's not true Ash!" Misty yells from the doorway, being held up by Ki-Adi Mundi and a couple other Jedi. "Misty!" Ash yells as he runs to his wife, and holds her tight, keeping in mind to avoid her stab wound. Anakin and Windu turn back to Lupinia. Windu asks, "Will you come quietly Lupinia? Or will I have to give you the same fate as your Master?"
"I will not go with you Master Windu, instead, I wish to have my life ended right here by your hand." she answers, while looking down. "I was brain-washed by that monster into believing that the Jedi were the evil ones, and that the Sith would rule the galaxy once more, and that we would finally be free from our chains. But the entire time I was his apprentice, he tortured me, in ways that even Misty would never be able to overcome. What she has witnessed today, will haunt her for life." she finshes as she lowers her head in solmn regret.
After a moment of pause in the room, Misty, with help from Ash, walks over to Lupinia. She let's go of Ash, and kneels down in front of her, and lifts her face, to see not the eyes of a Sith, but the eyes of Jedi Master Mina Fresco looking back at her. "I refuse to let you die even after everything you've done Mina. You're my friend, and my daughter would be crushed to know that her favorite teacher died a Sith." she says softly.
Mina lets tears flow from her eyes before saying, Misty, you don't know the sins I've commited as his puppet. I would rather die right now, than live, and let my students know the monster that I am. Please Misty, I neg you, don't try to save me, I am Darth Lupinia now, and Master Yoda once said, "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny." She cries even more tears when she sees a small smile on Misty's face, followed by tears of her own, as she hugs Mina before letting go and standing up.
"If that is your wish, then please allow me to do the honor, old friend." Misty says as she bows to her. Ash and the rest of the Council are shocked by what they witness, but none say a word except for Windu. "Misty, are you sure about this?" "I am Master, none of you may know this, but befor Mina left us, she was my closest friend both inside and outside the Temple. We shared a bond that rivaled even the bond I have with my sisters. I love her dearly, and when we we first told of her "death" two years ago, I was crushed. Mina Fresco deserves to treated as a Jedi, not a Sith, I don't care what evil deeds she's done." Misty concludes, moving the Council with her words, and Mina cries even more tears before wiping them away, and picking up her Lightsaber, and using the Force to send to Misty.
"Thank you Misty, you don't know how much that truly means to me. I want you to take my blade and strike me down with it. I am ready to accept my fate." she finishes as she lowers her head once more, this time, with a small smile on her face. She unwraps her cloak, and pulls out a small cerimonial knife, and unsheates it, and lays it on the floor, offering a quiet prayer as Misty steps over to her left. She offers a prayer of her own before taking Form 1 stance, igniting the red blade signaling that she was ready.
Mina then looks up to Misty for one last time, and nods to her before facing forward once more and grabbing the small dagger, lining the tip to her abdomin, and thrusting it deep into herself as Misty gives out a powerful yell, stepping foward with her right foot, and bringing the blade down in a swift and fluid motion cutting Mina's head clean off her body before swinging the blade back behind her right leg, and bowing to Mina's dead remains and deactivating the Lightsaber and dropping to the ground as she passes out from exhaustion.
Ash is the first to reach Misty before she hits the floor and uses the Force to slowly heal her exhaustion. "Master Ketchum, what did we just witness?" Anakin asks. "That Master Skywalker, was a Samurai tradition called Seppuku. It is a form of assisted suicide performed by a Samurai who cannot face the shame of defeat, or regret. She came from a long line of Samurai in her family. She was raised as a Samurai by her father before the Council found her and brought her to Coruscant to train as a Jedi instead. I fear that the Republic will no longer be looking at us Jedi as their gaurdians after this catastrophy. I am issuing a new command effective immediately. All future Jedi students must be taught both the ways of the Light and the Dark Side, and taught to always stive to live in the light, but to use the Force as a whole." Ash replies as he stands up and starts to carry Misty out of the office.
to Be Continued...
WHOA BOY WAS THAT HARD TO WRITE OUT! I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter because it was extremely hard for me to write out over these last few days. I'll understand if a few of you feel that I ended Sidious' reign too quickly, but I do have my reasons for future chapters of the story, especially in Misty's case after what she just went through. Anyway with that said, I hope you all look forward to the next chapter as things are going to take a dark turn for our Jedi Council in the next few chapters. I had originally planned to do this in 5 chapters, but I think this story will go far beyond that if things go as planned. Please keep supporting my story my friends, and please leave your thoughts on this chapter in the reviews and tell me what you think you guys and girls! This is Seddie lover1990 signing off for now.
