CHAPTER IX
THE SECRET OF PALPATINE

"What do you want, Palpatine?", asked Luke, who was still shocked about Quinlan's death, "and what's with Sibwarra?"

"Fett", said Palpatine, "leave us". "It's been twenty-one years since Obi-Wan trained you, and you still can't control your anger. I'm here to show you how to train real Jedi and how to follow the real path. Sibwarra, answer his question."

"Sure", said Sibwarra. "After Bakura, were I met you and where we defeated the menace of the Ssi-Ruk, I left you. After a year on my own, I regretted my decision. So I met this force-sensitive teen, Jen Tourouss, that was also stranded. We told each other what we knew about the force, and we started a 'Stranded Jedi Club'. We had four other force-sensitive members. When we heard you started a Jedi Academy, we wanted to join. But on the way there, a Star Destroyer shot us down. Only Jen and I survived. We landed on the planet Lourouss, an old man named Quinlan Vos met us. We told him about us, but he thought Jen was a menace. Then, Quinlan found out Jen was the son of Emperor Palpatine and Shira Brie, a.k.a. Lumiya. Jen then went insane, thinking he was the Heir to the Empire. So he built Darth Vader armor and wore it, taking the name of Darth Palpatine, Heir to the Empire. He nearly killed Quinlan and burned down his house. He asked me to join him. I refused at first, but then I found that without him, I would be broke and helpless. So I became a secret. Then on Geonosis, we found a clone chamber used in the Clone Wars. We used it to create a clone army based on my genetic codes. Then, after living on rations for two weeks, we found out we needed food and water, and to get that, you need money. So Jen became Doxen Mackrell, an Imperial senator who controlled action on the violent world of Ando. We made lots of money. When the Empire fell, he was still a senator, who worked for the New Republic, of course. Then, he decided to use the Clone Army. He begged the Republic to surrender to him, but no one listened. So then the First Fight began. We fought the Republic on Yavin IV in a big battle. While Jen was fighting, I made Lourouss, Geonosis, and Ando our bases. You know what happened from there right?"

"Yes", said Luke, "I had a duel with him. I cut his face up, and he needed to wear that mask. Then, after many battles, a republic agent found part of some plans to a battle station called the Doom Sun and some clones. We thought it was a hoax. But I proved it wrong."

"Of course", said Palpatine, "but Skywalker, you must become a Sith with us, and together, we can start a Neo Sith army!"

"Never!", said Luke. Then Palpatine and Sibwarra activated their red lightsabers, and Luke activated his green one, and Obi-Wan's blue one. Then they dueled. Luke blocked all the attacks that came to his right with the green, and he defended the left with the blue. Then he slashed Palpatine across the chest with his green saber. Then he cornered Sibwarra down and chopped off his head in pure anger. Vader started laughing.
"You would make a great Sith", said Vader, "but I am the master. You must accept that."

"Go to the cruel Trandoshian underworld of Cor-Lor-Min, you Hutt slime!", said Luke. Then Palpatine used his Force Lighting against Luke. Luke was getting his energy sucked up. Then he felt his true energy arise. And he rose up, and blocked the Force Lightning with his lightsabers. Then Palpatine got shocked, and he fell down. Then Luke used the elevator Fett used and got up to the hangar. Then he fell unconscious. Then Leia picked him up and took him to the Falcon, where the battles were not over yet.
