In an abandoned building on the metropolis that is Coruscant, a figure dressed from head too toe in black, strode purposefully down a long hallway. The figure, standing about 5'11", was an intimidating force, and the red and black facial tattoos only made him look fiercer. The Dathomorian, Maul was his name, walked up too a similarly clad figure, who was significantly smaller than Maul, but just as scary.

"What is thy bidding my master?" Maul asked the smaller of the two.

"You are too go and attack the Trade Federation's home planet of Cato-Neimoidia, too scare them into helping me, i feel they need some, Motivation." the shorter one, known only as Sidious, stated with a sinister looking smile spreading across his hideous facial features.

"It shall be done my master" Maul replied, turning abruptly on his heel and heading back the way he came.

Sidious continued looking out the window, as another dark shadowy figure walked in. this other figure got down on one knee in front of Sidious, and bowed their head, not looking up as Sidious slowly turned around, looking rather unpleased with his servant.

"forgive me master, for i have failed" the figure bowing said.

Sidious studied the creature for a moment, then sneered, "I know you have failed, and it will not be tolerated again, next time you fail you will die" Sidious exclaimed as blue sparks of lightning jumped out of his fingers, attacking the bowing figure and sending her into a fit.

Sidious continued with the lightning, whilst cackling too him self. He suddenly ceased electrocuting the former Night-sister, known as Asajj Ventress, who slowly got too her feet, and shook off any after effects of the lightning.

"You are too go to Naboo, and assassinate the King, don't draw any attention too yourself though, as it is too early too reveal ourselves." Sidious stated.

"Yes my master" Ventress replied, "but what of the Supreme Chancellor's visit too Naboo? surely the security presence would have quadrupled since he is there?" she further questioned.

" I will deal with the weak minded fool Ventress!" Sidious snapped as his eyes were suddenly filled with yellow, "you just focus on disposing of the foolish King, but be wary of our old foes presence, I feel the Jedi are preparing too return soon"

"It will be done" Ventress replied, as she walked out of the entrance she had came in. Sidious, when alone allowed himself a small, evil smile as he thought of his carefully laid plans coming too fruition.

Soon the Trade Federation will be in league with me Sidious cackled in his head, And i will finally be able too rule the galaxy as the Emperor!

On a far away planet, covered in rolling deserts and sketchy people, too figures walked down the ramp of their ship, and headed straight for a familiar looking homestead.
