"So, you are in need of a teacher" Kabor stated almost inquisitively. The 'Dark One' won't accept just anyone. There are thousands of force users in the galaxy and many would jump at the chance to be his apprentice. What makes you so special?"
Sheev described his experiences with the data pad and in the forest. Kabor sat back and cackled.
"Excellent" he replied. "Most excellent. The 'Dark One' should be most pleased." He pulled out a map of the surrounding area.
"You will find him in these caves just east of here" he said pointing out the location on the map. "Take care you do not offend him. He has very little patience with anyone he perceives to be wasting his time."
Sheev picked up the map and thanked the man for his time. In no time at all he was on a speeder heading for the caves. He quickly found the cave entrance and jumped off the speeder. Entering the cave, he pulled his cloak around him tighter. This planet was a bit chillier than his native Naboo. The inside of the cave was even colder. The cave tunneled deeper and deeper. Using the lamp he'd brought along, he finally came to a huge chamber. Lights flickered on the cave walls around him and a chair, almost throne-like was stationed at the far end of the chamber. A tall middle-aged man with dark hair and wearing a long dark robe sat in the chair.
"I am Darth Plagueis the Wise" the man boomed. "State your name. Why have you come here?"
"My name is Sheev Palpatine" Sheev stated uneasily. "I've discovered I have these powers and I've come in search of a teacher who could show me how to master and control them." He explained. He retold the same story he'd told Kabor. Plagueis studied him a moment.
"Show me" he demanded. He put a silver lightsaber on the armrest of the chair. "Bring the saber to you where you stand."
Sheev set his lamp down and reached out with his hand. Nothing. He tried again, concentrating even harder. Still nothing. Darth Plagueis grew impatient.
"You are wasting my time. I am searching for one who truly has the power." He echoed.
"No, wait!" Sheev exclaimed. "I have the power, just give me a second."
Panic began to surge in his chest. He tried once more, thinking as hard as he possibly could. The lightsaber didn't move a centimeter.
Darth Plagueis' voice boomed, "Get Out!"
The cave began to rumble. The cave floor shook, and the walls and cave ceiling began shaking.
"No, wait! Wait!" Sheev yelled, looking excitedly all around him in panic.
Suddenly, a piece of the cave ceiling directly above Sheev broke loose and plummeted down towards him. Sheev screamed and fell into a crouched position, thrusting his hands above him and squeezing his eyes shut, preparing for the inevitable. Moments passed. The cave stopped rumbling. Sheev dared not move his hands. He pried his eyes open and looked around. Plagueis was standing three feet in front of him. Sheev looked up. The falling rock was now hovering ten feet over his head. Sheev had stopped the rock but now seeing how close he'd been to death panic once again seized him and he let out another long scream. In his panic, the force grip on the rock released and it once again began to fall towards him. Plagueis merely flipped his wrist and sent the rock flying sideways into the far wall. Sheev lay on the ground trembling.
"Good. Very good. Your training will begin immediately."
Sheev composed himself and stood up.
"Thank you" he replied.
"From now on" Plagueis declared, "you shall be called Darth Sidious."
