Chapter 16 - To Fight Back
Darth Sidious sat in the throne room of the second Death Star. He was angry after the disappearance of Darth Vader. Now with a second Death Star he shall destroyed the Republican and destroy Amidala, Mothma, and Organa, and any others of the founding leaders of that Rebellion. Now, he was happy that he had managed to find a new apprentice who has much of his soul and shaken him to the soul. But even though she wasn't as powerful as Lord Vader who presumably died on the first Death Star, along with the other Admirals, she is powerful enough to take down a few of enemies whoever even posed a threat to Sidious. With her power, she would be able to destroy Skywalker's children or bring them to him.
As a brown woman with black armor, black boots, and red hair walked in, Sidious watched as she took her bow. "Mara Jade," he said coldly. "Have you managed to track Skywalker's children down?"
"No, my Master," Jade states. "However, I am going behind Rebellion doors and would soon find them and destroyed them once and for all. I believed the Rebellion is aware of this battle station and will attack soon."
"..."
"My lord?" Mara asked as she felt a concerned for her Master's silence.
For some time, he have taken her in, but with Vader he was able to carried out more missions. After Vader's dead, he had to find an apprentice who can hunt down the remaining Jedi across the galaxy and strike out to the people ordered to be killed. She knew the consequences of failure and have witnessed a batch of lightning from her tyrant Master for some down. Deep down though, she hated her Master's leadership and never liked about he attack so many innocents for his power. The Rebellion must be stop, but she never liked how the Empire operated on innocent civilians. Mara Jade was taken by her parents to originally be an inquisitor yet her path was shifted since the Grand Inquisitor death and the lost of Darth Vader.
Sidious sneered at the young girl. But he seems to be deep in thought so all there was was a kneeling Mara and Sidious sitting on his throne, "I have a new assignment for you, my dear." He says, abruptly standing up from his throne and walking over towards her slowly. He can sense her fear when he neared her, but she didn't move. She could, but she couldn't. He would likely find a way to punish her going against her Master.
Mara's eyes flashed towards him, "A new assignment?" Mara asked, seeming insulted as she glanced at her tall figure. Was he mocking her for not finding both Skywalkers easily? She is so close to find them, so why is her Master shifting her attention.
Sidious allowed a crackling evil laugh, which brought pain towards her ears and making her to feel the urge to rub them, but she knew she couldn't hide the pain. "With her capture, both Skywalkers would come after me," Sidious said to himself, a evil smile gracing his lips as he thought of the pain he can called both children and kill her and make them watch. At this point, Mara was beyond bemused and continues to stared towards her Master in confusion yet she was still bowed underneath him, with her ears fulled of pain and ringing and her jaw clenched.
"Her?" Mara found herself asking her Master.
"Yes, I have sense both of them having the same determination and the urge to keep their families safe from anyone wanting to harm them," Sidious responded madly, his yellow eyes bright as if he fully felt his skin paled, but he draw off the pain and pleasure from him. "I can easily lured them here and torture her and make them feel it. You would go undercover as a Rebellion trooper, my young apprentice, but you must track down Padme Amidala and bring them to me." Sidious indicted his index finger towards Mara and allowed another cackled to form.
Mara believed now and was completely convinced that her Master have finally lost all of his small little normal part inside of him. Wanting to get out of the throne room already, she bowed one last time, "As you wish my Master." She deduced, turning around and leaving the throne room.
Now that Sidious was alone he had thought about how he can easily destroyed the Rebellion and turn Leia and Luke Skywalker to the dark side, making them feel the full power and making them both his servants and eventual heir. They have their father's bloodline, which means they are strong with the force and would easily challenged him one day.
Leia and Luke stood by each other on the ship. They held parts in their hands and together both were building lightsabers. The two siblings had met up with each other and finally arrived to their ship where they had seen Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Immediately, they had taken off and left that planet and went to private quarters where they can meditate. They are currently together, due to Luke and Leia always drawing strength off of each other as their lightsabers became one. At last, the lightsabers became one and both activated their lightsabers. Leia had a purple double-bladed lightsaber, and Luke brought out an emerald green lightsaber.
"We're Jedi Knights, and shall bring peace and justice to the galaxy." Leia silently promised.
Luke nodded with his sister, "And we shall bring an end to the Empire. Now, we shall strike." He vowed, as they deactivated their lightsabers and holstered their hilts towards them.
Leia and Luke walked towards the cockpit where they seen their Masters sitting down again their chairs. They planned to go back to the Rebel base where they can finally strike back against the Empire with a more affecting blow. Now, as they are the newly force-user and son of Anakin Skywalker. After two years, they have grown stronger and Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were convinced that they need to put a stop to Darth Sidious once and for all. Slowly, both Jedi took a seat behind their Masters who seemed to be deep in thought about something.
Wanting to asked their Masters about what they're feeling, but deciding it was unimportant currently, they both sat back against their seats as the communicator beep. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan both looked at each other, until the Togruta answered where they had seen Padme Amidala. "Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, we have just received reports that there is a second Death Star." She spoke highly, allowing a small smile at her old friends. "Now, we really need you guys. Please... bring my..."
Suddenly, Padme turned to face something but seem to be surprised and begin grasping her neck and collapsed through the communicator. Luke and Leia were both deep disturbed as they saw a dark robe figure walked up behind her with a lightsaber clutching in their hands.
"Mom!" Luke and Leia cried at the same time. How can this happen?!
Obi-Wan scowled, biting his lip. "The Emperor, he wants Luke and Leia," Obi-Wan says softly.
"We must find her!" Leia exclaimed, her anger rising as she thought of what the Empire could have done with her, but none of them were good. "Contact the Rebellion, Ahsoka, we're going to the Death Star!"
Although she never took orders from Leia, she knew the daughter of Skywalker was right. Now, their mother is important and is likely in captivate of the Emperor and both of the children wants to find their mother. Their mother was in grave danger and would likely be executed if they don't save her soon. They were going to do anything. Two years of training and fighting against the Empire was fully coming to an end as they were going to fight the Empire.
Arthur's note: Honestly, I'm currently experiencing writer's block on this story, but will try to continue it when I finally got ideas.
