Spiral-Voltron-Zero0Q1: Well, here you go.
"So you live out here in the Outer Rim?" Ahsoka asked Betsy as she entered the former Jedi Padawan's home which was surrounded with forests and mucky swamps, yet it wasn't Degobah. "I thought you would've lived somewhere more cleaner and nice looking."
"Not all of us can get a penthouse owned by a Senator." Betsy scoffed as she shut the door and began getting out of her clothes to put new, cleaner ones on. "Why are you here, Ahsoka? I already told you my answer, it's no."
"Why?" Ahsoka huffed with frustration. "Why don't you want to try and help free the Galaxy from the clutches of the Sith?"
"Because if this newest Sith is indeed Darth Bladewolf himself... No Jedi Master today will be able to stand against him." Betsy said. The stories of Darth Bladewolf weren't to be ridiculed. Him and his brother, Darth Bloodwolf, have caused destruction and terror in the Old Republic and killed many while taking many planets for the Sith Empire. Bladewolf was even there for the Sacking of Coruscant led by Darth Malgus.
"Some of the surviving Jedi Masters think the same, the others think it's just an Inquisitor or a descendant using the name. Perhaps Sidious kept him secret during the Clone Wars and has him suddenly appear like Vader did." Ahsoka said, crossing her arms underneath her breasts. "Though..."
"What?" Betsy asked curiously.
"The Masters did say they felt a powerful disturbance in the Force, it was before this Darth Bladewolf was revealed to the Galaxy." Ahsoka said as her mind went back to the conversations she had with the surviving Jedi Masters. "Master Kohta sais it was like a spark in the Dark Side had been ignited in a rage "
"Interesting..." Betsy said, distracted by this as she puts on a new clean top that went with the too short spandex pants she was wearing. She sat on a couch and crossed her legs. "You are wasting your time trying to find me and get me to join your little band of Rebels. I know how it will end if the Rebellion does win and destroy the Empire."
"How?" Ahsoka asked with narrowed eyes.
"Things will go back to the way things were during the Republic, corrupt Senators buying favours to get their way and doing illegal stuff without the new Jedi knowing. Or will the new Jedi decide not to get involved in such matters that doesn't concern them?" It was one of the things Betsy didn't like when the Jedi were about.
The Jedi were peacekeepers yet they didn't stop corrupt Senators doing their illegal business which caused problems for some in the Galaxy.
"Besides, some planets are doing well under the Empire's rule." Betsy stated, having been to those worlds.
"Except ones involving Non-human." Ahsoka argued back. Before Betsy could reply, they both felt a disturbance in the Force and ran outside to see three Imperial Shuttles coming in for a landing. "Oh great..."
"Seems those Bounty Hunters who were after me had friends." Betsy said, recalling being chased by Bounty Hunters several days ago. One was the Mandalorian known as Elektra.
"Great." Ahsoka huffed as the ramps lowered and Stormtroopers cams down and aimed their blasters at them.
"Don't like the armor." Betsy said with a look of distaste at the white armour.
"It's meant to be intimidating." Ahsoka said before both activated their Lightsabers and deflected the rifle shots from the Stormtroopers weapons. Ahsoka leaned at one squad while Betsy went for the other. Ahsoka slashed and sliced and used the Force to send a few flying. "They have an Inquisitor with them!" Ahsoka called, having sensed the Inquisitor.
"I know!" Betsy called back.
Ahsoka threw her sabers though two more Storm trio and caught them when they came back before looking to eee how Betsy was doing.
The sight made her eyes widen.
Betsy was hacking and slashing with a look of anger and hate as she violently killed the Stormtroopers, ignoring their pained screams as their limbs were cut off or they were decapitated. Ahsoka was sure she was Betsy's eyes change to yellow for a brief second.
"Betsy!" Ahsoka yelled but the former Jedi Padawan wasn't listening. Ahsoka's eyes widened when Betsy screamed and used Force Lightning to deal with the remaining Troopers. Once they were dead, she deactivated her Lightsaber and turned to the horrified Togruta.
"What?" Betsy asked with a raised eyebrow, wondering what was up with Ahsoka now.
Before the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker could speak, they heard clapping and looked to see a man in black armour and a helmet with a visor walk down the shuttle ramp, clapping his hands. This was the Inquisitor, or at least one of the Inquisitors in the Empire.
"My my," he said, his voice slightly distorted thanks to the helmet. "That was impressive, such hatred and anger...you would make an excellent Inquisitor." He was looking at Betsy as he said this.
"I'll pass." Betsy said with a glare.
"So, two Jedi here alone? It must be my lucky day." The Inquisitor chuckled.
"She's no Jedi, she's a Padawan." Betsy said, gesturing to Ahsoka with a roll of her eyes.
Before Ahsoka could glare at her friend for that, the Inquisitor activated one side of his double-bladed Saber. The red Lightsaber hummed and casted a red glow like blood.
"So,shall we begin our dance?" The Inquisitor asked sarcastically as he stood there, and the two ladies can tell he was smirking underneath his mask.
Back on Coruscant.
Since the Gala several days ago, George has grown to have a very, VERY, small reconsideration of what happened with the Moff he killed.
He didn't regret it, not by a long shot, but he knew killing a Moff in such a way in front of many Senators and Imperial Officials would have consequences.
That was why he was in the throne room, standing before Sidious who had his eyes narrowed at him. George was not afraid of this man or whatever punishment was in store for him. As far as George was concerned, his Sith pride was insulted and he took care of the one who dares call a Sith a Jedi. It wasn't the first time some cocky and arrogant man had called him a Jedi and they've been met with cruel deaths.
"Did you enjoy your show of power?" Sidious asked with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Depends in what you mean." George said casually, unafraid of what his words will get as punishment. "Did I enjoy putting that Moff in his place? Very much so. Did I enjoy the anger and hate from the Senator of Alderaan? I did indeed. Did I enjoy killing that Jedi and showing the power of strength of a Sith? Greatly. But if you are asking in I'm enjoying the hassle of explaining myself to some crippled old man while the media complains and whines over what I did and demand retribution... Then No, I don't."
Sidious growled at the insult directed at him before Force Lightning shot out of his hands towards the Ancient Sith Lord. George braced himself for it and fell to a knee once it hit him. While Sidious was powerful with Force Lightning, George's Master's Lightning was way worse and left parts of George burnt and useless for days or weeks. The Sith Lord grunted as he clenched a fist, not giving Sidious the satisfaction of hearing him yell in pain and beg for it to stop...his pride as a Sith wouldn't allow him to. As he did his best to fight through the pain, he vaguely sensed Mara Jade in the room, watching.
"She's probably enjoying this." George thought with dark amusement.
Sidious kept up the almost never ending stream of Force Lightning, causing George's armor to burn and end up digging into George's flesh and burning it. Eventually Sidious stopped and the ancient Sith Lord fell onto one knee and his hands as he grunted at the pain before trying to stand up, his body very much in pain from the Lightning.
"I trust you understand what you've done." Sidious stated.
"Reminding the Galaxy of the Sith's power?" George asked in a sassy tone.
Sidious responded by shooting more Force Lightning at George.
After several moments, Sidious stopped and allowed George a brief moment of respite. "I have received word from Lord Vader." Sidious began as he watched George painfully lift himself to his feet. "He reports that he's discovered several Jedi on a moon in the Outer Room. You shall join him in destroying these Jedi. Time to see if you're skills fighting Jedi aren't all but gone from your time in Cryo."
Despite George's battle with Vader and Mara all those months ago, and the length of time he spent in Cryo, George knee his skills haven't extinguished as his battle with Quinlan Vos showed. The only reason Vader and Mara got the upper hand on Korriban was because George's body was still shaking off the affects of being asleep for so many years.
"As...you... Wish." George growled from the pain before standing up, turned on his heel and left the throne room. He sighed as he glanced at his ruined trench coat and took it off before tossing it aside. He had a hood attached to his armour so he'd use that for now. George frowned when he sensed Mara following him but paid it no mind as he continued walking until he reached his quarters and entered.
"About time."
He looked to see Mara Jade in his room, looking at the view his quarters gave him, especially since it gave a nice view of the Jedi Temple in the distance. Either way, George was really not in the mood for Mara's shit right now.
"What do you want? I'm not in the mood to deal with you." George said as he entered his bedroom and began taking off his armour, wincing at the pain flaring up across his body. "Enjoy the scene you just saw?"
"Of you being disciplined and whimpering like a child? Immensely." Mara said with a cocky smirk on her face.
George growled in anger at her as he finally got his armour off and looked at the burn marks across his body's the parts his armour had burnt into the flesh thanks to the Force Lightning. George clenched his fist before closing his eyes.
"What are you..." Mars trailed off as she watched with awe the burn marks and burnt flesh begin healing and disappearing slowly z though it seemed to be causing George pain as he grunted and growled in pain before eventually the marks and burnt flesh was healed up and he looked as if he wasn't hit with Force Lightning.
"Jade...leave me before I decide to take my anger and rage out on you and trust me...you don't want to be used as a dummy for my anger." George warned and glared at her, his eyes yellow now as he clenched a fist.
Mars glared back at him before she turned and left his room. She had something the Emperor would like to know and see now. Something he'd want to know.
Once she was gone, George fell on his bed and sighed as he rubbed a hand through his hair. "Felicia...I really wish you were still alive and here with me."
And that's it for this chapter. George got disciplined for what he did last chapter, I've changed the previous chapter so you may want to go and see it. Anyway, next chapter should be Vader and X-23's next appearance, so that should be fun to read.
