Blazing Blade (part 3)
A Black Clad being stand behind Senator Palpatine, his face was hidden behind an expressionless black mask, devoid of any features with the exception of two eyes, who glows with eerie violet colour. His head are fully encased inside some kind of atmospheric sealing helmet, while his body are fully covered in black body armor beneath a dark gray cloak, who also hides his limbs from direct sight. He isn't quite human and for somewhat reasons, even with Sidious' heightened force awareness, he can't really sure if that cyborg was having a force signature or not.
Ever the calm and composed, Darth Sidious did not even look surprised at first, just calmly turn toward the newcomer and try to engage his adversary without breaking his cover. But he was in a world of surprise, when the cyborg suddenly attack him with a burst of rapid fire slugthrowers mounted upon the his shoulders, forcing Sidious to using force assisted jump to leap for cover.
"Better end this quickly..." said Sidious while drawing his emergency lightsaber from the inside of his sleeve, confident that the force dampener he put inside his own private home could at least hold for a time, before the Jedi Masters just not far outside, will inevitably burst into his house since he can already sense they are running back toward the front gate of his estate. Much to his surprise, when he try to reflexively block another burst of the slugthrowers, his lightsaber suddenly short-circuited and even with his force enhanced reflex, a bullet actually managed to graze his right shoulder, despite force shield he formed before their impacts. And despite this should be a mere minor wound, Sidious feel that the wound somehow start to dampen and lowering his force sense.
"Phrix bullets reinforced by cortosis weave, each laced with Yslamari poison at its nose, specifically designed to be effective against force and lightsaber users..." said the cyborg while suddenly slash his hand toward the still surpised Darth Sidious, revealing that he also carry a red lightsaber. The blow should already decapitate Sidious' head, if not because Sidious actually managed to roll and dodge the deadly red blade by the sheer virtue of reading his enemy's movement.
"Plaqueis sent you huh? Tell me..." said Sidious, trying to bought his opponents with words of Dun Moch, but several aimed bursts of slugthrowers answering him before he even finished his sentences. Sidious tried to press a button hidden inside his belt, but to his surprise...
"Your security droidekas, buzzer drones, and turrets are already deactivated. Plaqueis already knew the scheme of your security system, and they've been disarmed yesterday..." said the Cyborg, who then immediately continue his attacks with several swipes of lightsaber blade, alternating with some strategically targetted bursts of slugthrowers. Sidious tried his best to block the lightsaber strikes and dodge all the slughtrower shots, but several bullets already grazing him at several places, with the effects of Yslamiri weakening his force powers, draining him much of his powers.
"I must admit my own pride cloud my judgement... I never thought that Plaquei..." said Sidious while suddenly, a loud crack was heard, and he was directly hit by a force lightning. After being thrown off guard, another force lightning appeared, but this time Sidious tries to absorb the lightning, just for a sudden blast of force wave thrown him into the wall with such force enough to crack it. Only by sheer concentration at whatever left of his force powers, Sidious still barely manage to stand again and face the newest assailant.
"Pathetic... my own Sith Master actually picked a coward's way to assassinate his own Apprentice..." spat Sidious. Plaqueis did not said anything, just gathering the dark power, and blowing him out with a powerful force wave... out of the Palpatine estate and directly in front of the running Jedi Masters, who still in shock over the sudden surge of Dark Side powers.
"..."
"We have fullfilled our objective today... Xanatos, now we must go..." said Darth Plaqueis to the Cyborg, and they two quickly escape using Palpatine's own hidden ways up to somewhere, leaving no one beside Sidious to witness their actions directly, safe for the ripple in the Force.
"Kit... watch out!" said Luminara while she suddenly seen, a tattered and heavily wounded senator Palpatine flung away from his own house, and impacting the ground with a rather loud thud. Her first instinct is to help the poor senator... but then, the unmistakably dark side powers seeping from his body are giving who he is... especially with his still raging yellow eyes...
"ANOTHER SITH LORDS? H... HOW..." said Saesee Tin, who was completely shocked by the recent things happened (technically) in front of them.
Darth Sidious tried to stand again and seeing his cover was blown already, he tried to take his lightsaber, thrown not far from his current position and should be easily caught by telekinesis. But before he could even finish his attempt, and due to his weakned power (courtesy of Yslamari poison employed by Xanatos' bullets)...
Before he could reach for his lightsaber, a green blade quickly cut his head off... Kit Fisto actually make his move before Sidious can do anything... Leaving the other four Jedi Master surprised and shocked when they see the decapitated head of Sidious emits a ghastly blue apparition of force Phantom, desperately trying to gather his power... and after a second or two immediately trying to possess the still unconscious Anakin. Prompting Yaddle and Yarael Poof to quickly make a synchronized force attack, and finally finished him off completely before he could even do anything...
Darth Sidious... is dead...
