Chapter 2 is up. This one is a little shorter than the previous one. This is really just to get the plot moving and some mystery. Thanks skywalker05 for your criticism, I really appreciate. About the Vilanoz, I mentioned them early out of nowhere, b/c they will be important later, but sorry for the confusion. Anywho Chapter 3 will be out soon and I really want to hear what you guys think.

Chapter 2

Coruscant

"Why are we just standing here. This is a complete waste of time", Zonen complained, while looking around the Senate Chambers.

"Zonen you must relax. I know how personal this mission is, trust me I do. We have to be calm and let our better judgment guide us, not our emotions", Ylesha replied softly, putting her hand on Zonen's shoulder. Zonen immediately shrugged her hand off and moved away from her, just as Master Vogel and Master Sterkte made their way towards their padawan's.

"We found absolutely nothing in the Senate archives that is in the least bit suspicious. This search is going to take a while", Master Sterkte, said.

Zonen's face lit up. "That will make it all the more fun."

"Time is of the essence. We will have to move quickly", Master Sterkte said.

Master Vogel replied, "It would be best if we split up. We can rendezvous back here."

"Fine, I like that idea. Let's go Zonen," Master Sterkte said. As Sterkte and Zonen walked away Ylesha looked at her master.

"Master, I know someone we can go to who might be of help to us. Her name is Dimensia."

"Welcome Master Evol, Master Kanze. It is a pleasure to see you."

"Hello Chancellor Sauro."

"Please sit. What do I owe this pleasure?"

"Chancellor, we are not here for petty small talk. We are here on business", Kanze said coldly.

Chancellor Sauro expected this much. Jedi were scum, but this particular Jedi was bantha fodder.

"Kanze relax. Business can come later. Sauro is used to formal greetings. It is his nature." Master Evol spoke as if the Chancellor wasn't even there. That frustrated him.

"Well is obvious you want to talk about something of importance. What exactly would that be?" the Chancellor asked, wanting to move on.

"As you know Chancellor, the attack on the Temple of Ios was an inside job. Our intelligence points to Senator . It came to the Council's attention that you were given a warning of a conspiracy brewing with in the Senate. A threat directed at the convoy sent to the Temple. Why would you neglect to tell us such vital information?" Master Evol questioned.

"Master Jedi, what would make you think that I would hide anything that is beneficial to the people of the Republic. I am here to serve, not hurt", the Chancellor said smoothly.

"The point is", Kanze said, "you had information from an inside source about a possible corrupt Senator, who was in league with the Sith and was planning an attack, which you kept hidden. Is that not true?"

"Master Jedi I am surprised that you would accuse me of such a thing, because that would be treason. I am equally surprised you do not trust your Supreme Chancellor. I come across rumors everyday. I can not go around questioning and investigating every little bit of information I come across. I understand your concern, but rest assured I am doing everything I can to ensure the stability of this mighty Republic we have fostered."

"You must realize we must be alert for any kind of signs of the Sith. Anyone can be affiliated with the Sith.", Kanze stated.

"How could you think I was in league with the Sith or I myself was a Sith", Chancellor Sauro replied.

Master Evol's face shined. "We never said anything about you being a Sith. But now that you bring that up, you mustn't forget….it has happened before."

The small group shared a small chuckle. None of them was meaning it.

The dark being stared across at the Senate building watching and waiting. All of those years of planning were finally coming into fruition. The dark being opened his mind to the Force, feeling for his Master. Finally, he felt that familiar essence of pure death. He had made contact.

Master, everything is going as you foresaw. There search is proving fruitless. The Senator is doing everything we asked him to.
Good. Very Good. You have done well.
Thank you my Lord. When should I proceed?
I am intrusting that decision to you.
Trusting me Master? I doubt that.
You are smart to not trust me. You are a true Sith.
Thank you, my Lord. How long do we have to wait Master?How long must we live in the shadow of heretics?
For a while we will have to be content with our current situation. The time is not yet right. We have to wait for them to get comfortable. Then the Republic will be ours. It will be forever in the hands of the Sith.
