Chapter XXXIV

Mara Jade narrowed her eyes as she observed the reactor of the hyperdrive. She glanced at the other troopers that roamed around the reactor. "We managed to get the hyperdrive back online but its' still damaged," one of the troopers said walking over to join the young woman.

"Good," Mara said with a slight nod. "What of the charges that had been placed on the reactor?"

"They were destroyed in the explosion," another trooper reported. "The hyperdrive is still working since you helped assess the damage above Datooine."

Mara nodded and started when her personal comlink beeped. "Excuse for a minute, gentlemen," she said.

"We'll start repairing the area around the reactor, Jade," the trooper said with a salute.

"Thank you and report to Lord Vader when he returns from Naboo," Mara ordered before walking out of the room. She ducked down a hallway before slowly making her way deeper into the nearly empty area of the Executor before answering her call.

The holographic image of a hooded person appeared. "Jade," the hooded figure said gravelly.

"Hello, my master," Mara greeted the hooded figure.

Palpatine lifted his head slightly before glaring at Mara with narrowed yellow eyes. "Why have you not contacted me earlier?" he demanded.

"I would have, master, but I did not want to make Lord Vader suspicious. I have some time now because Lord Vader went down to Naboo with Skywalker," Mara reported.

"Did he now?" Palpatine echoed. "And why would he do that?"

"I do not know, master, I was unable to get close enough to hear him," she said.

"I see," Palpatine said. "Very well, I want you to figure out Lord Vader's plan, if he is indeed planning something. My other apprentice, Fury, failed to do so I am entrusting this to you."

"Yes, my master, Vader will not be able to hide anything from you," Mara said with a small smile.

"Good, report back when you have some information," Palpatine said before disconnecting the transmission. Mara shut off her comlink before making her way back to the reactor room. She had been helping the troopers work on the reactor after she had allowed Vader to leave. Working as Vader's mechanic and medic had been the perfect cover because neither Vader nor anyone else would have expected the Emperor's Hand to work as a medic.

"Jade, Lord Vader has returned," a trooper reported. "I have delivered my report to him via comlink and he says that he wants us to continue to work on the area that was damaged around the reactor."

Mara nodded. "Very well, let's get back to work," she said.

Darth Fury paced in his room in the Imperial Palace, his thoughts were not on Palpatine or even Vader, but mostly on his life. All his life, he had been raised in Corellia but his parents never treated him right. They thought he was just a bastard child who will not amount to anything mainly because his father was really his stepfather, his real father had walked out on him when he was only a babe.

If only they could see me now, Fury thought smiling grimly. They would not think I am bastard who will not amount to anything. Soon, Palpatine and I will rule the Empire without having to worry about Lord Vader.

Fury gazed around his room before walking over to the window that overlooked the tall buildings of the city planet of Coruscant. It was nighttime, the lights of the large Coruscanti buildings made it seem more like day however. Coruscant hardly ever slept and with Coruscant, its' people also hardly slept.

Fury was not one to sleep, sleep brought terrible memories of his parents and he didn't want to think about them. After everything that they had done to him, Fury welcomed the day when they were killed. It was that same day that Fury was found by Palpatine and brought into his care. He was one of the very few dark Jedi that Palpatine hid from Vader during Vader's rise.

And now I am Palpatine's apprentice and soon Vader will fall, Fury thought smirking sinisterly as he gazed at the large windows that stood in front of him. His thoughts almost self-consciously drifted to his parents, when he had first tasted the dark side when his parents had been killed…by his own hand.

That is what caused Palpatine to come to him and offer him a position among his ranks of dark Jedi. While many of the dark Jedi had been trained under Lord Vader, such as Lumiya and Galen Marek, Fury had been trained underneath Palpatine directly and behind Vader's back.

Fury smirked. He didn't mind that he had been trained behind Vader's back, Vader knew he was a dark Jedi but it was Palpatine's insistence that kept Vader from killing him.

Fury started to pace again. Palpatine was a fool to think Vader could beat me, I would have beaten him and Skywalker had it not been for that damn Togruta, he thought before gazing out of the window.

Perhaps new leadership is needed, Fury thought. Perhaps Palpatine should not be the one leading this Empire.

Fury smiled to himself before walking toward the door of his chambers. He might as well check on Palpatine's Hand, he didn't have anything better to do.

But soon, Fury thought to himself, soon, I will take Vader and Skywalker down.

~*~

Kyle Nova, known as the Emperor's Hand to most people, flexed his new mechanical hand and glowered angrily at the medical droid that had come, for the third freaking time since the surgery, to check on him.

"You seem to be better," the droid said.

You think, Kyle retorted sarcastically as he flexed the hand.

"There is someone who wishes to see you," the droid said. "Shall I allow him in?"

"Might as well," Kyle muttered, there was no point in trying to stop them. If it was the Emperor, that meant Kyle's life was about to end. He had promised the Emperor he would not return until he killed Vader and Skywalker.

I was so close, I had killed Vader but somehow, he survived, Kyle thought angrily as the door opened and in stepped, not the Emperor, but rather the Emperor's new right hand man.

Darth Fury walked deeper into the room. "Hello, Nova, how are you feeling?" he asked slightly coolly.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Did the Emperor send you?" he asked.

"No, I came of my own accord," Fury said before narrowing his eyes. "I believe you may still be of some use to the Emperor though he doesn't see it yet."

"Oh," Kyle said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, you want revenge, don't you?" Fury asked.

"Yes," Kyle said, flexing his mechanical hand. "Especially on Skywalker."

Fury smiled coldly. "I am sure the Emperor will be merciful on you should you kill Skywalker," he said. "I will discuss this with him and he may allow you to join me on my quest for revenge."

Kyle narrowed his eyes. "I've never known the Emperor to be merciful," he said.

"Yes, I know, but we shall see," Fury replied.

~*~

Palpatine leaned back in his throne as Fury completed his proposal and his yellow eyes narrowed slightly. "So you believe Nova will not fail again?" he asked finally breaking the long silence that had entered the throne room.

"Yes, my master," Fury replied lowering his head.

Palpatine narrowed his eyes. He knew his new apprentice did not know of his plans to attempt to turn Skywalker back or to turn young Skywalker instead but the Emperor wasn't ready to let his apprentice know this.

I may be breaking the tradition set down by Darth Bane but Skywalker is the most powerful Jedi in history and even so, young Skywalker may be even more powerful than his father, Palpatine thought.

"Do not do anything yet, my young apprentice," he said after a few more moments of thought. "Both Skywalkers may be still of some use to me but I will allow Nova to live for a while longer."

"I see, my master," Fury said lowering his head.

"In the meantime, I want you to continue with your studies, Lord Fury, one Skywalker was bad enough and now we have two Skywalkers to deal with," Palpatine said.

"You can take them, my master," Fury said, looking up.

"Yes, but nonetheless," Palpatine said. He wasn't about to admit to his apprentice that he was worried. He knew Skywalker was powerful and he could feel that the younger Skywalker was also powerful. He will be a great threat if I do not turn him, he thought before remembering Anakin's words to him when he had still been Vader.

'He will join us or die, my master.'

Then so be it, Palpatine thought with a small grim smile. Young Skywalker will join the Sith or he shall die. As for the older Skywalker…

Palpatine smiled again, the hood of his cloak shadowed his features, preventing Fury from seeing him. …Only time will tell what shall happen to him, he finished his thought as he continued to survey his current apprentice.
