"Finally ready for your greatest trial, you are, my padawan." Yoda said to Luke.
"I am?" Luke asked.
Yoda nodded and said "Taught you all you need to know to defeat darth sidious, I have. To choose how to use my teachings in your trials to defeat the sith and restore the republic and the jedi order, all that remains left for you to do is."
"I shall leave for Imperial Center immediately." Luke said.
"Call the planet coruscant, as it is true name, that is." Yoda said to his student.
"Of course Master. I just hope it's enough to defeat Sidious." Luke said.
"So my apprentice do I, and the entire galaxy, so does." Yoda said.
"I will not fail you my master." Luke said as he headed for his ship.
Considering the fact that Luke got past the Imperial blockade of Coruscant way too easily, he knew that he was most likely headed for a trap of some kind.
However, he wasn't going to let that stop him now. He'd come too far to turn around now.
After landing his ship as close to the Imperial palace as possible without being detected, Luke placed the hood of his cloak over his head and headed towards the palace.
"master,missa sense da young skywalker approach missa destroy him now?" Darth Maw said.
"No. You had your chance to destroy a Skywalker on Malachor and yet not only did you fail in your mission to recover the Sith Holocron and the temple on Malachor, but you lost your lightsaber, and your place as my apprentice." Palpatine said.
"missa don t understand master." Darth Maw said as Palpatine rose from his throne.
"You are just an outdated tool now Maw. Especially when your replacement comes to greet me as we speak. And you know what I do with useless tools." Palpatine said as he ignited his red lightsaber.
"master,mesa begg missa one more chance to redeem missa to kill da skywalker boy for yousa." Maw begged for her life.
"There will be no more chances Maw. You have failed me for the last time." Palpatine said as he slaughtered his apprentice with ease.
When Luke arrived at Palpatine's throne room, the Sith Lord was waiting for him.
"Where's Darth Maw?" Luke asked, keeping his eyes and senses open to prepare for a sneak attack.
"Darth Maw is dead. She failed me once too many times and now I seek a new apprentice. You to be specific." Palpatine said.
"To bad I have no intention of falling to the dark side. I am a Jedi, like my father before me. And today, the Sith dies." Luke said, igniting his green blade.
"So be it." Sidious said as he once more ignited his own saber and jumped into battle.
Green and red blades clashed against one another and the Jedi and Sith clashed in combat.
"You are strong with the force. Imagine how powerful you could be if you succumbed to the Dark side. The light side of the force is nearly extinct. Soon, only darkness shall remain." Palpatine said as he attempted to zap Luke with Force lightning, only to have the young the Jedi absorb the lightning into his blade, making it's green blade grow stronger and brighter.
"I don't know about that. Haven't you felt it. The light side is making a comeback." Luke said as he vaulted over Palpatine and struck again.
Luke was right. As their battle progressed, the light side of the force grew stronger, Luke's power creating balance in the Force and the light side began to counter the dark side, beginning to limit Palpatine's once unlimited powers.
"No matter. I am older than you. I am more powerful than you, I am more experienced than you and I have all the power I could want. And what do you believe that you have that I do not?" Palpatine asked.
"Training, discipline and speed to start off with." Luke answered.
"Not to mention a smaller ego." He then added before using the force to knock Palpatine back against his throne room window.
Palpatine was panting now, his old age finally becoming a burden, for Luke had youth and speed on his side, which allowed him much more endurance than Palpatine, something that the Jedi was continuing to exploit.
"You will never defeat me. For I am Darth Sidious, the dark lord of the Sith. I destroyed the Jedi on false charges of treason and I have imprisoned the galaxy to my will. I am power. I am FEAR!" Palpatine said.
"And thank you for that little confession. Now my actions of killing you will be seen as justice and not murder." Luke said, pulling out the holocron he'd been using to record the entire battle, since he knew he'd need evidence to legitimize his actions to the senate.
Palpatine roared in outrage and finally provided Luke with the opportunity he was looking for.
In his anger, the sith lord let his guard down as he wrapped both hands around his saber and tried to strike down on the young Jedi.
However, Luke seized this opportunity and stabbed Palpatine very quickly in the chest, right where his heart should be, causing Sidious to drop his weapon actually fall backwards through the window to the ground below.
"Good riddance." Luke said as he shut off his own saber and reattached it to his belt.
Back on Endor, Anakin Skywalker was pacing nervously while he waited for his son to make contact from Coruscant and he still couldn't believe that Master Yoda had actually approved of a teenaged boy going after the Dark Lord of the Sith.
"Anakin, do you sense that?" Obi Wan asked as he entered his friend's chambers.
"Sense what?" Anakin asked.
"The force is back in balance. There is only one explanation and that is that Luke was successful in killing Darth Sidious. The war is over and the Empire has fallen." Obi-Wan said.
Anakin allowed himself a few moments of relief before his concern for his son returned.
"Relax Anakin. I'm sure Luke is alive, he just hasn't been able to make a long ranged transmission." Obi-Wan said, right, as Anakin's comm went off.
"Father." A hologram of Luke said when Anakin answered the call.
"Luke, do you have idea how worried your mother and I have been? For we know, you could've been killed." Anakin said.
"I'm sorry father, but it was the only way and now the galaxy is free." Luke said.
Anakin smiled and said "You are so lucky your mission was a success, otherwise you would be dead right now. Return to Endor immediately for the council's verdict and brace yourself for your mother's rage. I don't think being pregnant is going to stop her from killing you."
Luke chuckled and said "I'm on my way."
