Chapter 14: Defeat of A Sith

Sidious cackled manically as Luke ran up to him saber clenched in his hand. Once he arrived in front of the dark lord he angled it up but before he could strike, and before Kreia or Vader could do anything, Sidious extended his hand and zapped Luke full of force lighting. That sent him flying back off the steps and down in front of Kreia's feet. He looked severely burned and he was unconscious. Kreia turned to look at Vader.

" This is your fight Vader, not mine. You will have to kill him."

" What about you?"

" I will tend to your son."

" But didn't you say a while ago that we all needed to fight him?"

" I said that simply because you needed a son and he needed a father."

Vader smiled under his mask and said no more. He activated his own blood red blade and the Sidious did the same. Slowly adrenaline pumping Vader walked up the stairs and seconds later was facing Sidious.

" Hello, my young apprentice."

" Not any more." Vader said as he struck, Sidious parried so fast Vader might as well have stopped his blade.

" And so you choose to be the apprentice of Darth Traya?" Sidious asked as he began a series of strikes, which Vader continuously parried but lost ground and his heel was hanging over the metal step.

" Yes." Vader said holding his saber in place. Sidious swung around and brought his blade down low at Vader's feet who jumped and struck at Sidious who just barely had time to deflect the blow that would have split him it two. Vader struck again at Sidious's head and he parried keeping both sabers there.

" Traya the betrayer Lord Vader." Sidious grunted as he pushed Vader's saber away and chopped at his head.

" I have never heard that from her." Vader said as he blocked Sidious's intended strike.

" Of course you haven't, she wouldn't be foolish enough to tell you would she?"

" I guess not if she is this betrayer you claim her to be."

" She is Lord Vader and you would be wise to reside with me."

" I am not joining some mental old fool who thinks he is an Emperor!"

" Then we have nothing more to discuss."

" Good then."

Sidious brought his saber away from Vader's so fast that he wasn't even aware it happened until Sidious's saber was plunging right toward his gut. He leaped out of the way which caught Sidious off guard and he came a little forward towards the steps. Vader leaped up and kicked Sidious in the back. It cracked loudly, he literally somersaulted down the steps and landed at the bottom face up, and his saber was now lodged in his leg. Vader leaped down beside him and pulled the saber out. He raised both and prepared for the killing blow.

" You would do better to listen to what I said Vader." Sidious said. Vader shook his helmet and brought the saber's down while saying:

" The way of the Sith is deceit."

And then both sabers came right down in Sidious's chest, he gulped a little and his eyes opened wide. His body fell limp and he stared into nothingness.

He turned Kreia and Luke were both standing up and Kreia had her saber activated.

" Very good Lord Vader, you are now very close to bringing about the death of the force."

" What?"

" Allow me to explain." Kreia said, she whirled around and brought her saber right through Luke's neck before her could defend himself, it fell and hit the floor with a muffled thud. His body fell on top of it. Vader stared through his mask wide eyed at his son's body.

" You- you killed him?" He asked his voice barely above an electronic whisper.

" Yes I did." Kreia said calmly.

" But, but why?"

" Because I hate the force."

" What?"

" I hate the force. I hate that it has a will, and so I want to kill it. Your son's death helps me do this you see because if all force users are killed then the force will plunge into darkness and die. I have foreseen it."

" But that means you and I have to die."

" I know, and I am completely willing to die. But there is another that must die, he is a little green Jedi sage."

" Yoda is still alive."

" Yes, very good Lord Vader. Now prepare to die."
