Chapter 9 – Overthrown
*Flashback to 54ABY / 6 years before the current story*
Darth Revan, son of Emperor Darth Matty walked into the large office which lay below the disbanded Senate in which his father sat.
"Revan, what brings you here?" he asked.
"I need to ask you something father," Revan replied narrowing his eyes trying to give it away.
"Yes, anything?" he replied.
"Your leadership is inadequate for an Emperor," Revan told him to his surprise.
"Revan!" yelled Matty, "Do not speak to your father like that!"
"You have let Jedi run wild for too long," replied Revan drawing his lightsaber, "And by Darth Bane's rule of two, it is time for the apprentice to overthrown the master."
"I make my own rules up, stand down and face your punishment, my powers are too superior for yours," snarled Matty standing up and blasting force lightning at Revan.
"I don't think so!" yelled Revan as he charged forwards kicking his father in the face who used the force to slam him into the wall as he drew his own lightsaber clashing with Revan in mid-air as they clashed violently in the office as Matty force kicked Revan onto the Senate pod in the centre of the room. Revan clicked the button for it to rise into the Senate as Matty realised what he was doing and charged onto it too punching Revan as they duelled through the Senate.
Revan leaped in the air off the pod as used the force to grab another and throw it into the support of the central pod sending it crashing down into the floor of the Senate, through the roof into the office. Matty leaped off just in time and onto a Senate pod as he leaped towards Revan as they clashed on the pod as Revan kicked Matty down towards the office below as he jumped down there too on-board a Senate pod as they continued duelling towards the balcony of the office as Revan used the force to smash the railings and push Matty off towards the city below.
Revan felt good as he killed his father, or so he thought. He was now the new Emperor. Darth Matty's leadership was poor, letting Jedi run, like he was a Jedi. No Jedi could be the Emperor. It was time for the Sith to rule for a thousand years, with no mercy. He would find the power to live eternally and rule with an iron fist with his minions to do his work. The Resistance would be defeated soon with the construction of Weapon S.S. his father had told him about.
He watched over the city planet of Coruscant, this was all his along with all the system in the galaxy. He would fight and be eternal. They would not lose. Darkness was in-charge.
Revan pulled out a hologram to all the Imperial Sith Order and the rest of the galaxy as he spoke, "Darth Matty is no longer your Emperor, I have taken over from his poor leadership, find his body, I want him dead. The time to fight the Resistance is now, show no mercy, and wipe them out, all of them! From the ashes of Matty's empire, will rise a new a stronger one, one which will ensure we rule for eternity, there will be no threat of the Resistance for much longer, rebellion is on its way out!"
The galaxy watched in horror at the new Emperor, but those who talked of rebellion were shot by stormtroopers who followed Revan's order with no thought of what they were doing. No thought of what would happen next. No thought it would end like this.
