Chapter 36 Sword Of Justice.
The remaining sith surrendered in droves as Anna and Hans with the rest of the Force Lords took the citadel clearing out the rest of the remaining sith who reside in the upper levels, most of them fought to the death while only a few sith lords surrendered realising they were no match for their power another reason for the invasion was for the knowledge the sith possess as Anna commanded her forces to seized every last one them and to store them within the new archives this knowledge will prove very useful in the long run, as Hans lead the remaining prisoners outside the open field where they surrendered unconditionally.
Anakin stood there in Elsa arms still grieving for his lost but finally pull himself together as he slowly turned to face her, sensing the shift in his thoughts as she gave him a comforting smile as she raised her hands to wipe his tears from his cheeks, giving her a brief hug while they both stood up together using the force to take his former master's lightsaber.
"Darling we should get moving I sense there is still someone here in this place." said Elsa while watching him carry the body of Kenobi.
"Bring the body back to the ship, I will take the other one too meet me when you are done." he nodded and teleported back to the ship.
Elsa made her way back and took Padme's body back to the ship they will be given a proper burial when they finished mopping up the last resistance, she sensed another presence somewhere in the prisoner holding room dispatching any remaining sith who opposed her until she found a red ray shielded square cell containing a female prisoner reaching for the controls she deactivated the ray shield.
"Who are you?" asked Elsa curiously, she was strong in the force maybe even stronger than Hans.
She looked up to see the Empress sensing her tremendous power and spoked, "My name is Serra Kato! I am a Jedi Knight my master was killed while defending the temple against Darth Kenobi and Darth Padme." She said as she stood up to her feet slightly shorter than Elsa.
"Are you a Jedi, I sensed your great power~" Elsa cut her off.
"I am no Jedi in fact much greater than any jedi, I am the Grand Queen of all the Force Lords, we are a perfect balance between light and dark which you Jedi are known for, but we believe the force has no light and dark only just the Force itself."
"That's interesting.. I like to know more about this new order, are you able to use sith lightning and not be corrupted by it?"
"Allow me to demonstrate." Elsa turned to the dummy beside her inhaling the air around her while raising her hands aiming at it as the electricity begin to spark within her fingertips growing stronger as she unleashed a full blast of sith lightning just as it engulf the dummy catching fire she raised the intensity higher as more lightning struck the dummy as the flames consumed it falling to ground in flames, her eyes full of lightning turned towards Serra.
"Are you convined yet?" The Jedi Knight could hardly believed her eyes it became clear that this woman was beyond a Jedi or sith she was so much more and crave this power.
"I am… I am…where does my training begin?" She asked.
"It begins right here and now if you renounce the teachings of the Jedi you will become more powerful both in knowledge and in the force, are you ready?"
"I Serra Neto, hereby renounce all my teachings of the Jedi and my rank as a Jedi Knight and pledge myself to your teachings!" She bowed her head low.
"Very good! Rise! From now on you are a force lord given enough time you will be just as powerful as your other new friends outside, and finally you will need a new set of armor and two new lightsabers." said Elsa as she conjured a new set of black Cortosis armor and two dual lightsabers, as the armor fitted her perfectly while Serra took the two new lightsabers ignited them as a gold superheated plasma blade emerged the color dazzled her as she deactivated them.
"One more thing you still need to complete the set a purple to symbolise your loyality to me." just Elsa snapped her fingers as the cape appeared from her shoulderpads down to the floor, the set was fully complete.
"So are you like my master?" She asked.
"A master, nope! More like a teacher and friend, I warn you the training is rigorous and tough I know I invented the system myself, if one is to become a wise and complete lord, one must study all the aspects of the Force not some dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi only then will you become complete and strong in the force."
She thought about it and agreed just in time for Anakin to teleport in as she turned to look at him, "Anakin?! Anakin Skywalker?! Is that really you?!" as her mouth almost dropped.
"Serra Neto? How did you managed to survive all this time?" he asked.
"I am more resourceful than you know, I thought you were dead.." She rubbed her eyes still unable to believe he was alive, sensing the bond they shared together the force was very strong with the both of them, she wanted to share with him how she felt but she concealed it.
"You are not a droid Serra, you have emotions and thoughts, I encourage you to share them not conceal them remember you are not a Jedi anymore, you are a force lord!" Elsa mentally talking to her, she didn't know where to start.
"Let it go Serra you can do it, just talk to him like I am talking to you now." said Elsa mentally encouraging her.
"Anakin, I was quite worried you were dead I spend days searching for you.." her words trailed off.
"But yet here I am, we should get going we have a war to finished." Elsa nodded as she teleported them to regroup with the others outside.
They appeared before all the sith that surrendered as their heads lay low with their hands above their heads, all line up with one force lord behind them with their lightsabers drawn Elsa stood in front from them while the other force lords raised their lightsabers with both hands ready to execute them.
"YOU HAVE WITNESS FIRST HAND OUR POWER IN THE FORCE, NOW I GIVE YOU A CHOICE YOU CAN EITHER JOIN ME OR DIE RIGHT HERE! IF YOU JOIN ME I WILL ENSURE YOU WILL BE SAFE FROM YOUR MASTERS WRATH, I WILL GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE TREATED PROPERLY, BUT IF YOU REFUSE YOU WILL BE EXECUTED HERE LIKE A WAR CRIMINAL, CHOOSE NOW!"
They had mere seconds to decide as the sweat came down their brow as their thoughts formed in their minds, they surveyed every option was it worth dying for someone who only used them as a tool, where was the fleet weren't they supposed to arrive to support them then it dawn upon them. They were abandoned, discarded like a useless tool who have outlived their purpose but others still remain loyal to their Emperor deny the fact they had already lost and the fleet they had hoped was not coming.
Fifty of them stood up while the other fifty remain on their knees, while the fifty who did stood up threw away their masks to the ground stomping on them as a sign to tell Elsa they were no longer sith. Elsa waved her right hand in the air looking at the those sith who were still in defiance and wave her down as they were executed swiftly their bodies dropped to the floor lifeless.
"YOU HAVE TAKEN A RISK THIS DAY BY JOINING ME, BUT BE ASSURED I AM NOTHING LIKE YOUR MASTERS, I ONLY REQUIRE OF YOU ONE LAST THING YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO ME AND COMPLIANCE."
They went on bended knee and pledge their allegiance to Elsa as she commanded them to rise, this day had gone much better than expected now gathering all the information, holocrons and anything they were now ready to depart however Elsa noticed Anakin had gone unusually quiet, not thinking too much about it she teleported them straight to the Sovereign.
"Captain set a course for home!" he nodded as the ship soared upwards exiting the atmosphere and through the wormhole as they arrive back at the throneroom, "Its good to be home I am going to have dinner with Hans and catch some sleep." said Anna.
"That's a great idea! See you later Anna!" as Anna gave her sister a hug as they both teleported to have a nice fancy dinner, while Elsa looked at the clear starry night sky as she spoked.
"Beautiful isn't it Darling?" but there was no response, she turned to see he was gone trying to reach into his mind to find out where he was she hit a block instead, a deep expression of worry started washing over her face, 'Where did he go? This is so unlike him to leave without telling me, I have to find him..somehow...' Elsa turned to the captain and ask him.
"Have you grand prince Anakin anywhere?" asked Elsa.
"Your Majesty, I believe he left when we arrived at the castle." She figured it out, probably he could be in his own room.
"Thank you Captain please resume your duties and prepare this ship for another invasion that's all for now." as he bowed his head leaving the command deck as Elsa teleported striaght to his room, she was right there he was drinking a bottle of champagne sitting on the carpet next to his bed dressed in white robes walking towards him wondering what happened to him.
He sensed her approached while putting the bottle down, "Hey Elsie! Want a drink?" as he offered her a drink but she slapped his hand away.
"Guess not, you are really a control freak did anyone tell you that?" She tried to snatch the bottle away from him but he was quick and move it away from her reach.
"What has gotten into you Darling, you are a mess let's get you cleaned up." Elsa still trying to figure out what had cause him to be like this but to no avail.
"You always try too hard, it's your way or the High Way ISN'T IT?!" as he stood up and yelled at her, Elsa very much wanted right now to use the force and knock some sense into him but stay her hand.
"You need to calm down Anakin! You are getting out of~" Anakin lost it the death of both Padme and Obi Wan drove him over the edge as he used the force and threw his wardrobe at her, she immediately withdrew her lightsaber as it sprang to life as she cut it in half destroying his clothes in the process, while also shifting the two table lamps he threw at her slamming them into the wall.
"THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING ANAKIN! DO NOT FORCE ME TO FIGHT YOU!" yelled Elsa as she raised her blade to defend herself.
"MY MASTER AND MY FRIEND ARE DEAD AND YOU EXPECT ME TO SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING!? RAAARRGGHH!" Anakin was beyond reasoning as he used the force sending her slamming straight into the wall mirror as it crack upon impact she fell to floor while the pieces of the broken mirror also fell to the floor.
"THAT'S IT ANAKIN!" Elsa conjured a massive force bolt sending it straight at him the power so strong it send him smashing through the brick walls until he was outside the castle, falling fast he had seconds to react before he fell to his death, he focus hard as he teleported above a square shaped marble table while she was working on a new palace model falling body first into the table smashing the model at the same time.
The aristocrat fell back in shock regaining her composure helping him up only to recongisned he was grand prince Anakin, "Your Majesty are you alright?" as he got up slowly the table was completed split in half.
Looking at her she looked somewhat familiar, "My two friends are dead! How do you think I feel right now?"
"Wha! Dead? I am so sorry I am confused." Anakin started to tell her everything about what happened today.
"So thats what happened, let me begin to say I am sorry for your lost but drinking will not solve your problem."
"Maybe I will just stay here for a night~" She cut him off, "No you are not staying here you need to confront the problem." just in time as Elsa teleported in looking both at him and the aristocrat.
"Your Majesty I believe he has a confession to make." Elsa glare straight at him as he met her face to face her eyes glowing with fire.
"Elsa you are a control freak, overbearing, overprotective and dominant, compassionate, caring and fun but thats okay I understand and I like that too, we laugh at the most randomest things. You know my ugliest side and I know yours, even though we disagree on certain things and fight, it never lasts long. When I am sad, you were always there to make me laugh. I thank you for that and… I LOVE YOU MY LOVER AND BEST FRIEND!"
Her rage subsided as she smiled at him while pinching his left upper shoulder rendering him unconscious as he fell into her arms as she caught him placing her right hand on his neck and her left hand behind his back his words touched her deeply as a tear rolled down her left eye, while restoring the broken table with a snap of her fingers.
"He loves you you know." Elsa looked at her and nodded just as she teleported back to her room, although she sensed there was something strangely familiar about that aristocrat.
Arriving back at her room she placed him on the bed changing into her nightgown covering him with the blanket as she stretch her right arm across his shoulders, while kissing him on his forehead, "I LOVE YOU TOO DARLING!" as she closed her eyes dreaming what might happen tomorrow.
Darth Numra stood before Palpatine and Abelroth kneeling to her feet along with two others behind her for months she had been training, preparing and waiting for this moment and here she was beside the Emperor and Empress awaiting her first assignment, awaiting her first with enthusiasm she and the sith hunters face the floor as the Emperor spoke.
"Your first assignment is to this Jedi as the hologram of Elsa appeared before them, find her and eliminate her bring me her lightsaber as proof, now go!"
"It will be done as you command my lord!" as she and the other two hunters stood up while walking out of the main palace doors as they shut behind her, Darth Numra sensed this was going to be a challenge and she loved challenges leading the way down to the main hangar, as they boarded the ship and set a course for Nal Hutta.
Anakin woked up in a daze as he stood up feeling Elsa's hand on his white robe, he turned to see her drooling on her pillow, stroking her unbraided hair he leaned forward to kiss her left cheek while gently with his right hand closed her mouth, while he whispered in her left ear "You are beautiful even you are asleep Darling!" surprisingly she smiled lightly as she opened her mouth.
"Good Morning my Darling!" slowly opening her eyes to look at her handsome fiancee.
"Good Morning Sunshine!" replied Anakin as he continued stroking her hair.
"You are completely honest when you were drunk last night, in fact so honest you told me everything." said Elsa blushing hard almost wanting to laugh.
"WHAT?!" he looked at her in shock not remembering what happened last night.
"I don't remember anything that happened last night, I woked up this morning feeling dizzy.." Anakin looked at her questionably.
"Hahaha! That's the side effect when you drank a whole bottle of champagne in three gulps, would you like me to recall what happend?" asked Elsa her smile disappearing.
"Hold on, did we made out last night?"
Elsa gave him a cheeky smile, "I wished we did, however it was the opposite we had a fight you threw your entire wardrobe, tables, chairs and even the poor lamps at me even force push me into the wall mirror."
"I did What? Oh I am so sorry Darling..." there was a brief silence for a few seconds before Elsa broke the silence.
"No need for a apology, it will take much more than this to hurt me thankfully I was wearing my armor." said Elsa.
"You also confessed your undying love for me in front of a aristocrat, before I pinched you and brought you back here." Elsa laughed.
"Well then we had a rough night, so what's on the agenda today? Destroying more imperial targets?"
"Even better we are going to destroy the heart of the criminal empire of Jabba the Hut for good, thus severing the first empire's trade route and ending crime that has grown rampant throughout the galaxy!" Anakin smiled those words music to his ears, for a long time the Jedi had let crime run rampant through out the galaxy but it was time to bring it down. "What are we waiting for? Let's go~" Elsa suddenly using her arms held him down now on top of him she leaned forward.
"What are you doing Darling?" he asked unable to move.
"Darling let's make out and spend some time together!" Anakin nodded as Elsa kissed him passionately as she placed her hands on his cheeks, while Anakin placed his hands behind her back as the adrenaline rushing through their veins.
The invasion was going well as planned as ten planets were already liberated from the first empire, as more planets ally towards the Eternal Republic the imperials rally their fleets in preparation for an attack, having little to no intelligence they decided to go straight in hoping their vast naval superiority would overwhelm them sending in the fourth, fifth and sixth fleets to engage the republic fleet only to be decimated within an hour taking high causalities losing a total of five hundred ships plus another hundred cruisers, those who survived were either executed or taken prisoner.
Having suffered a decisive defeat both the Emperor and Empress ordered funds to be poured into producing more ships like the super star destroyers, the new tie interceptors and resurgence class star destroyers also the eclipse class dreadnoughts also calling in a few high ranking admirals from retirement hoping this will turn the tide in their favor but little did they know the republic armadas was led by none other than Gallius Rax and his wife and they were more than prepared for whatever the first empire can throw at them.
Elsa and Anakin at last got out of bed getting dressed in their armor while teleporting to the Sovereign as Anna and Hans were waiting for them in the war room, Elsa pressed the button to reveal a massive galactic map while pointing at the planet Nal Hutta and the other planets surrounding it.
"Anna I want you and Hans to take the armada and divide them into two groups, capture the planets and the leaders if they refuse to surrender execute them, but those who do surrender place them in chains and send them back to prison in Arenedelle I will personally deal with them later."
"Hans you need to coordinate our ground forces along with the force lords Elisesa and Drakel take a few thousand force lords destroy whatever stands in your way."
"Anakin and me are going to pay a visit to Jabba the Hut and along with some of the sith station there, we will introduce them to how we treat criminal scum like him in Arendelle!"
"Are you planning to execute him Elsa?" asked Anna curiously.
"There are much worse punishments than death, he is not getting away with his crimes so easily this time we will deal with this filth once and for all!"
"Now let's get going the faster we deal with this scum the better." as they teleported to the command bridge. "Captain! Nal Hutta immediately this time do not cloak we are going to reveal ourselves to the galaxy!"
"Yes your highness!" as the crew punch in the coordinates arriving at Nal Hutta, the republic fleet had successfully defeated the combined might of the first empire and huts fleets while their ground forces were having a tough time breaching the citadel. However receiving armored reinforcements thanks to Elsa their defenses began to slowly crumble.
"Let's go!" as they teleported straight into the heat of battle.
Elsa appeared right beside general Rex but he was too preoccupied to noticed stepping forward raising her hands wide as turrets, blaster bolts, bounty hunters, soldiers, tanks and even sith were caught in her grasp using the force she lifted them into the air, clapped her hands together as they came smashing into one another as Anakin appeared beside and yelled with his lightsaber drawn.
"ATTACK!" as they charged forward straight into the citadel with the whole republic army behind them, with fifty force lords alongside of them acting as the front line assault force, within the citadel they found many bounty hunters, assassins with dozens of sith waiting for them as Darth Numra and her two shadow guards awaited them sensing their power in the force to be even ten times stronger than hers she prepare for the immediate confrontation.
Jabba the Hut mobilised all his remaining army to counter the attack including many of his experienced bounty hunters, while Elsa and the republic army swiftly pushed deeper and deeper into the citadel wiping out many of Jabba's best men as they approached the front door of his command room, Darth Numra and her shadow guards along with dozens of sith leaped from above ambushing the republic army as the force lords engage them in combat while Darth Numra and her shadow guards attack Elsa and Anakin.
Elsa and Anakin sensed the power of the dark side strong in them, "You radiate with the power of the dark side but it will not avail you!" said Elsa holding her radiant silver lightsaber firmly in her hand.
"You Jedi are all the same cocky and arrogant no wonder your order fell so easily!" She taunted.
"We are no Jedi!" they both spoked together as Anakin attacked the two shadow guards while Elsa attacked Darth Numra while trying to breach the Empress defense but Elsa blocked or dodged them while delivering a furry of multiple blows.
"You are as powerful as my master say.." while attempting to gain the upper hand as she used the dark side empowering her.
"Taste the fury of the dark side!" The lady of the sith strike her knee but Elsa's armor absorbed all the impact.
"What?!" She fell back in shock as Elsa swung her lightsaber but narrowly missed.
"Beskar armor, able to withstand and absorbed any lightsaber strike! You will need to do better than that!" just as Elsa dashed towards her swinging her lightsaber three times.
Darth Numra blocked the first strike while dodging the second but the third took her right hand off, as she yelled in pain screaming falling to the floor. Dropping her lightsaber just as Elsa picked it up using the force while pointing the tip of her lightsaber near the lady of the sith's neck.
"You have two choices, either you surrender and join me or I will execute you myself! Decide now!" Darth Numra looked at Elsa, she was send to kill her but there was no say she could win sensing her significant power in the force, she wielded her options as Elsa's superheated silver plasma was pointing straight at her neck perhaps she was more powerful than her masters themselves or not she had met her match and decided if you can't beat them join them.
"I pledge my allegiance to you, as long as you don't kill me.." Numra heard the hissing of the silver lightsaber as it deactivated while hearing the Empress voice.
"I want you to close your eyes and relax this might take a few moments." said Elsa as she stood down touching the edge of her severed hand slowly she felt her bones being formed as five bone fingers begin forming followed by her veins and finally her flesh and her nails, Elsa using her power reconnected her now newly formed hand and veins back into her body prompting her mind and her heart to accept the new hand, Numra feeling overjoyed her new hand smiled as she opened her eyes.
"This is incredible!" She said as they both rosed to their feet.
"I will take that as a compliment, I have a new role for you I want to take charge of the former sith which are now in the academy, study the ways of the Force while teaching the new apprentices the power of the force."
"It will be done your majesty!" She bowed as Elsa montioned for her to followed while Anakin rejoin them after dispatching the shadow guards exhausted after a long fight.
"I sensed Jabba behind this durasteel door, let break it down and finished this fight." They both nodded as all three of them focus their power in the force, the door slowly begin to crack while using both they forced it opened as the ground begin to tremble while Elsa conjured a gigantic force bolt as the door was pushed striaght into the war.
"JABBA THE HUT!" As Elsa walked straight passed the now frightened bounty hunters and assassins each step she took the ground tremble as cracks spread everywhere throughout the room the whole place could collapse any moment as she stood facing him face to face. While Numra and Anakin walked beside her their lightsabers at the ready.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked the translater droid as Jabba stood his ground.
"YOUR CRIMES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THIS GALAXY ENDS TODAY! I ELSA GRAND EMPRESS OF THE NEWLY FORMED ETERNAL REPUBLIC SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH! AND YOUR ASSOCIATES ALONG WITH YOU! FOR TOO LONG YOU HAVE PLAGUED THIS GALAXY WITH YOUR CRIME AND CORRUPTION BUT NO MORE!"
Before the translater droid could say a word Elsa deactivated him, while turning her attention back to Jabba as the other hutts watch everything from a holochannel. Elsa eyes sparkle with lightning reached its peak as it lightning struck straight down at Jabba only smoke was left as he was teleported to a dark dimension where the victims he killed in cold blood ripped him apart piece by piece only to do it again when he reformed.
"YOU OTHER HUTTS, ASSASSINS AND BOUNTY HUNTERS WILL SHARE THE SAME FATE AS HIM, AN ETERNALTY OF SUFFERING IS THE FATE OF THOSE WHO OPPRESS AND KILL FOR MONEY NOW LET MONEY BE YOUR MASTER AND YOU BE ITS SLAVE!"
With that the criminal empire of the Hutts ceased to exist which will send a message to every criminal that their days of crime are over.
The words were barely out of her mouth when lightning struck them while they attempted to flee but no avail, they were all caught at once teleported to another hellish dimension where three pure golden woman dressed in golden robes with gold skin carrying staffs bind their necks, hands and legs together chaining them up and dragging them into the lake of fire, tightening the chains as they yelled in pain while pure burning gold was poured into their mouths screaming as their bodies and organs turned into pure gold. They waited as their bodies will reform just for them to do it all over again. "We are done here let's get back to the ship." just as she teleported them and the rest of the army back as well, appearing on the command deck she punched a button to open the holochannel to Lord Admiral Gallius Rax, "Admiral! Send thirty ships to the Nal Hutta, I want you to glass the planet till its nothing but a barren moon!"
"It will be done your majesty!" as he bowed just as thirty resurgence class battleships arrived to forming up next to the Sovereign, this ships had two purposes to destroy any capital ships and were made specially to glass any planet to dust.
"Captain I leave you in charge of the glassing of this planet make sure it's done!" said Elsa as he bowed his head while she teleported to the war room to plan her next move.
"Elsa.. Elsa!" as the voice of the late Jedi master Qui Gon Jinn appeared before her.
"Who..who are you?" asked Elsa.
"I am Qui Gon however, there is no time to explain right now you need to set a course to the planet Circrpous V, I will explain more when you arrive!" said the grey Jedi ghost as he disappeared.
Elsa teleported Anakin to the war room, "We need to get to Circrpous V now, we will take the new interceptors they will get us there faster!" Before Anakin can ask she grabbed his hand as they both made their way to the hangar, taking their ships while setting a course for the planet as they jumped into hyperspace.
What would they find in Circrpous V, maybe a way to end this war or a way to defeat the two dark lords of the sith even this could be a trap designed to lure them out into the open, the first empire had begun to tighten it's grip on its remaining planets while increasing its war machine as everyone worked around the clock day and night as they begin to lose ground.
