Chapter 8: The Nightstalker Will Die

"The Nightstalker", she chokes.

Gasps filled the room. How did he do it? Isn't this placed guarded inside and out? He is way smarter than we think?

Padme just wanted to die and crumble. Everything just happened so fast. One second the Nightstalker is supposedly dead to suicide, then the next thing you know he's back for revenge.

"I don't understand he is force sensitive shouldn't the jedi be able to sense him", Bail argues. Shaak Ti, Obi Wan, and Aayla gave each other concerning looks. That's right they should've been able to sense his presence.

"He must've found a way to hide it because you are right we should've been able to sense him", Shaak Ti says softly.

Padme was out of it. "This man cannot be fucked with. He literally broke into a heavily guarded area and got out like it was nothing", she says to herself.

"I can't believe it", Sabe whispers. She curls up against Obi Wan. He then embraced Sabe and began comforting her.

"It's ok Sabe, you are safe. He won't hurt you", Obi Wan says stroking her hair. Sabe jumps out of Obi Wan's arms.

"How can you think like that", Sabe questions.

"Because I believe that he won't hurt you. You are a beloved queen everyone loves you", says Obi Wan calmly.

"Well that's what everyone thought with Senator Lott and Dom Canto. Look at them now, THEY ARE DEAD, MURDERED. We don't know who he will kill next. I'm terrified Obi Wan", she yells.

Obi Wan hugs her again "I know you are, so is everyone else. But you seen what those men did, they abused women and raped them. Whoever this man is, he is doing something no one else dares to do."

"What is he doing that no one else would", Bail says curiously.

Obi Wan cleared his throat. "Kill, rid the galaxy of these monsters. I believe this man knows something we all don't. He sees the corruption in the senate and the jedi order. Whatever he knows it must be important."

Aayla and Shaak Ti looked at Obi Wan with disbelief. They couldn't understand what they just heard. Is Obi Wan calling the jedi corrupt? How can he trust a murdering psychopath?

"Obi Wan the jedi aren't corrupt. Why are you siding with a psychopathic murderer", Shaak Ti grunts.

Obi Wan took his hands off the terrified Sabe. He stood up and approached Shaak Ti.

"I'm not siding with him. But a part of me believes he is somewhat right, the jedi are corrupt. Look we are supposed to be peacekeepers. Not fight in battles and act as law enforcement. We aren't made for that", he says irritated.

Shaak Ti was silent. Obi Wan does has a point, the jedi are peacekeepers not soldiers. But Shaak Ti ended the argument and got back to what really mattered at the moment. Which was protecting the senators and the queen.

"Obi Wan we can talk about this later. Right now we shouldn't be fighting, we should be protecting Senator Organa, Amidala, and Queen Sabe", Shaak Ti says looking at Obi Wan.

He nods and sits back down next to Sabe. She curled up next to Obi Wan once more.

"Well what are we going to do now. This place isn't safe anymore, our best possible course of action is to relocate", Bail argues.

"Yes you are correct, I will contact Grand Master Yoda. I will see if he will allow me to relocate you all possibly to the Naboo Royal Palace", Shaak Ti says.

Bail nodded and placed a hand on Padme who was trembling.

"It's ok Padme everything will be alright", he says tenderly

"I know, I know", Padme replies.

Shaak Ti exits the room and makes her way to Master Yoda who was currently with Chancellor Valorum.


"Chancellor requested me you have. Proposition you want to talk about hmm", Yoda says entering the office.

"Yes Grand Master Yoda, here please sit we have to talk", Valorum says. Yoda sits down in the seat across from the Chancellor.

"I have to make a speech to the Republic. I will try my best to not create fear and panic. But I will initiate a galactic scale lockdown. No one is allowed to leave their homes, so I wanted to ask you if you can send jedi knights to different cities across the planets in the Republic. We need them to help patrol the streets with the military to ensure no one is wandering outside during this lockdown", Valorum says.

"Hmm understand I do, jedi I will send. Nightstalker will have to be more careful now he is force sensitive and we will be able to sense him", Yoda says.

Valorum stood up and looked out the window watching the bustling view of Coruscant.

"Good, we will need everything at our disposal to catch this man. He is to dangerous to be left alive, he must be punished for his crimes", Valorum says infuriated. He hates how one man can cause so much turmoil. One man is literally forcing the first ever galactic wide lockdown.

However just because you are locked in your home, doesn't mean you are totally protected. The Nightstalker will always find a weakspot, nothing will stand in his way.

Shaak Ti knocks on the Chancellor's door. Valorum turns around and shouts

"Come in."

Shaak Ti enters and stops. "I wish to speak to Grand Master Yoda, but it seems you are busy so I can wait outside."

"No, no please stay", Valorum says politely.

Shaak Ti comes up to Yoda who was still sitting down.

"Ask me something you do", Yoda smiles.

"Yes grand master, I wanted to see if I can relocate Senators Amidala, Organa and Queen Sabe back to the Naboo Royal Palace. It is unsafe to stay in 500 Republica", Shaak Ti says.

"What do you mean, it is heavily guarded by jedi and military personnel. It is perfectly safe", Valorum says confused. He firmly believes no one would be able to penetrate that type of security. However Valorum doesn't know how intelligent the Nightstalker is. He knows everything. Every camera, guard position and their shifts. He memorizes the interior and exterior layout of buildings before attacking and he has equipment to fit any scenario.

Shaak Ti was dumbfounded. Do they not know what happened?

"You don't know what happened", she questions. Yoda and Valorum glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"No, nothing was told to us", Yoda says.

None of them realized that Anakin placed a signal that disrupted communication from the soldiers stationed at 500 Republica to the Chancellor and Grand Master Yoda.

"What happened", says Valorum eagerly. He leans slightly forward waiting to hear what came out of the Jedi's mouth.

"Senator Lott is dead. Brutally murdered by the Nightstalker", says Shaak Ti still suprised how the vigilante managed to do such an act without being noticed.

"How are you so sure it was him", Valorum says.

"He left a note on the table. Here I was actually given the note by an officer", Shaak Ti says handing it to Yoda so him and Valorum can see.

The Note

Senator Lott: Killed by The Nightstalker

Weapon of choice: Lightsaber

Time of Death: 12:43am

Reason: A pedophile, rapist, and abuser of women.

If you thought that he was fit to be a senator and it was okay to hurt women then you are lost. DO NOT TRY TO STOP ME. CROSSING ME IS A MISTAKE The Nightstalker.

End of Letter

Valorum rips the note in anger.

"Fucking fuck. How could he possibly do it, everything was locked down", he shouts.

"I can't tell you that, but maybe the security cameras around the senate district can" Shaak Ti replies.

Valorum's eyes lit up "Yes. We can use the cameras, maybe we can find out what he looks like."

Without hesitation the three of them exit the office and make their way to the Republic's military intelligence building.

"Chancellor", says the soldiers all standing up and saluting.

"At ease", Valorum says placing his hand out.

Yoda cuts in "Video Surveillance of 500 Republica need to see we must".

"Right over here", an officer shouts waving his hand. The three of them approached the officer who was pulling up the video surveillance. It displayed a clear image of the Nightstalker scaling the exterior of the building.

"Switch to a different camera maybe we can get an angle on his face", Shaak Ti orders.

"Roger", says the officer. He pulls up a few other cameras at different angles and none of them could ID the Nightstalker's face.

"This man is very intelligent. Wouldn't be suprised if he had prior military training, like Black Ops", the officer says.

Another officer cuts in "He is an expert of espionage. He knew every camera around the senate district. He also knew that Lott was being held in 500 Republica and that the military and jedi were present. That is why he has suction gloves, so he can easily get in and out without any issues. Whoever this man really is, most know a lot of things. If he was able to pass all the sensors and personnel that were stationed there then he can get through anything."

Valorum knew this was bad. This man is a literal ghost next second he's there, then gone. No one can predict what he will do next, you can only hope that you aren't on his list.

"He's good", Shaak Ti mutters.

"Hmm rest I need, think about this tomorrow I will. Send Jedi to every city I will", Yoda informs to Valorum

"Thank you, Grand master", Valorum stutters.

Shaak Ti turns to Yoda who was about to exit.

"Grand Master do I have authorization to relocate the senators and the queen", she mentions. Yoda turned around and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes a few seconds later and stared back at the eager jedi master.

"Yes, bring them safely to the Royal Palace. A ship I will send to take you there", Yoda asserts to her.

Shaak Ti bows "Thank you Grand Master".

The Chancellor than walks back to his office and takes a little nap on his desk. He knows he will need all the energy he can get for when he addresses the public tomorrow.


The Next Day

Anakin makes his way back to Naboo and lands his ship in a secluded area.

He enters Theed and hides his mask and his lightsaber inside his robe. As he walks onto the main street he sees a crowd gathered around by a store. Curious, Anakin slowly makes his way over and sees that the Chancellor was making a speech to the Republic.

"Citizens of The Republic." He clears his throat. "The psychopathic killer The Nightstalker is not dead. He threatened the lives of countless senators. Last night the vigilante broke into 500 Republica and brutally murdered Senator Lott."

Anakin grew tense "He was a rapist, and abused numerous women. I did a favor slaughtering him." He slowly calms down because he doesn't want to act suspicious.

Valorum continues "With the power vested in me and with the Senate's approval I will be enforcing a galactic wide lockdown. Everyone will be forced to lock themselves inside their homes and wait in there until it is deemed safe. Republic soldiers and the jedi will be patrolling the streets and will interrogate anyone that is out walking during this time. Don't be afraid or scared. We must stick together and fight through this, the Nightstalker will be found and publically exexuted for his crimes, I promise." Valorum steps back and the live recording ends.

Many people were shocked and quickly ran to their homes screaming "The Nightstalker is back, The Nightstalker is back. We are not safe anymore."

Everyone fled while Anakin calmly walked his way back to his makeshift home.

"Does the chancellor really think he will capture me. Hah! I will never be captured, not by any jedi, soldier, or criminal. The only person that can capture the Nightstalker is me", Anakin says to himself. He slightly laughs at how empty the streets are after people heard the Nightstalker is alive.

"No wonder these rapists, slavers, and pedophiles thrive. Everyone is a little bitch, no one stands the fuck up. If you do not show these monsters that you are not afraid to do whatever it takes to stop them, then it will never end. They will continue these malicious acts. I'm going to change that, I PROMISE ", Anakin whispers furiously. All he wanted to do was break every single window he passed in utter frustration.

Anakin finally makes it to his dumpster. He hops inside and places his mask and lightsaber in a secret compartment he built underneath the dumpster. It also stored his other weapons and important things that if found will prove he is the Nightstalker.

"Great now I will have to deal with the jedi and republic military patrolling these streets", he whispers to himself. This new plan the chancellor enforced makes it harder for Anakin but not impossible. Nothing is impossible for him, Anakin will always find a way.

He closes his eyes and takes a nap.


Shaak Ti makes her way back to 500 Republica. She enters the queen's room and luckily everyone was still there. They decided to stay and sleep the night, no one wanted to leave. But they all seemed a little less terrified than before which was a good sign.

"What did he say", Obi Wan says wiping his fatigues eyes.

Shaak Ti brought herself closer to the others and kneeled on the floor. Fixing her robe she lifts her eyes to face them.

"Yoda is sending a ship to come and take us to the Royal Palace. Also the Chancellor is enforcing a galactic wide lockdown which means when we reach the palace we have to lock ourselves in. No one can leave under any circumstance. Republic soldiers and jedi knights will be patrolling the streets questioning anyone that is out walking during this state of emergency", Shaak Ti states.

Padme shook her head in disbelief. "There goes my fucking vacation. Being locked up in a palace due to one man", she says to herself.

"This is insane", Sabe declares. She stands up and walks towards the balcony. Obi Wan comes up behind her and grabs her shoulders.

"Sabe don't...", Obi Wan is cut off by Sabe.

"Don't what, take a breath of fresh air. I am honestly passed my breaking point, I literally can't do anything. Just sit here, don't go out there, relax everything will be alright. NO IT'S NOT ALRIGHT", she shouts.

"Sabe please I love you, I'm deeply in love with you. The last thing I want to see is you dead. You are my everything, if I lose you then I'm nothing", he chokes. He tries his best to hold back his tears. Sabe's immense anger flushed out of her body. Obi Wan's sincere speech made her tear up.

"You love me", Sabe whispers.

"Yes, to the stars and back. I love you Sabe", Obi Wan repeats. He approaches her and places his arms around her waist and leans in for a kiss. Sabe didn't refuse and kissed Obi Wan.

Padme and Bail sat there amused and stunned at the same time. It was weird to see how expressing your love towards someone can immediately affect their mood.

Everyone just stared and watched Obi Wan and Sabe make out. She broke off from Obi Wan and apologized to the others.

"Sorry you had to see that", she blushes.

"It's alright Sabe, we understand", Bail answers.

Shaak Ti suddenly got a beep from her holowatch.

"What is it", Aayla says curiously.

"There here", Shaak says. She then turns to the others and tells them that the ship is here and it's time to go.

Minutes later they were all out of 500 Republica and made their way to Sabe's personal ship.

"Nice ship", Obi Wan smiles. He looks at Sabe and kisses her on the cheek.

"Thanks Obi", she says. Hearing her call him Obi made him blush uncontrollably.


They approached the palace and landed in the Royal hangar.

"I'm going to go to my room", Padme says.

"You sure you don't want to come to the lounge with us. There will be food and we can chat", Sabe smiles.

"No I'm alright, I just need some rest. Have fun tho", Padme beans. She waves goodbye to the others before heading to her personal quarters.

When she opened the door Padme saw she was receiving a call. It was from Clovis.

Padme quickly changed her tone to make him believe she is beyond excited to hear his voice.

"Hey Clovis", Padme says ecstatically.

"Hey baby, are you alright I just saw the news. The Nightstalker is still alive", he says concerned.

"I'm alright, we are locked inside the royal palace. Don't worry about me there are jedi protecting everyone in the palace", Padme replies.

Clovis sighs "Oh thank the force. The last thing I want is you to be killed. Padme I love you deeply, I want you to know that. If anything happens just know that my love for you is beyond anything the galaxy can offer me."

Padme rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to be deceived by your lies Clovis", she whispers to herself.

"I am trying to ask the banking clan if they can let me go, so I can come see you. I hate being away from you it hurts me everyday", Clovis says softly.

"Clovis it's okay finish your things with the banking clan, I promise that I'm fine. Just trust me", Padme responds. She honestly doesn't want Clovis back. She knows he is hiding something, and she feels this isn't the right time to confront him about it. The last thing she wants to do is act fake around him, because it would be too hard to execute.

"Well I gotta go now Padme, I love you", he seductively says through the phone.

"OHHH FUCK" he shouts.

Padme's eyes widened. "OMG CLOVIS ARE YOU OKAY, WHAT HAPPENED", she says voiced with concern. Her heart was racing, she doesn't know why but it was.

"Nah it's okay I'm fine, just hit my knee really hard against the corner of the desk. It hurt like a bitch but I'm fine love you Padme", he says before hanging up.

Padme places the phone down and lays on her bed.

She heaves a big sigh "I wish that hot guy was here right now. I want him all over me."


"You like that baby", The Twi'lek moans in Clovis's ear as she rides his cock.

"Oh fuck you baby, but you almost got me caught you dirty slut", he shouts slapping her across the face.

"Sorry master", she mutters slowly moving her hips faster. She felt his cock swell up.

"You better be", he says before unloading inside her.

"Aahhh that felt great", he whispers slapping her ass.

"So are we done", she responds.

Clovis gave her a seductive look. "Yes we are."

"Great", says the Twi'lek. She slowly gets up off Clovis and proceeds to put her clothes on. Clovis crept behind her and placed his hands on her back massaging her slowly.

"I thought we were done", she says nervously.

Clovis pulls a knife from his back pocket.

"Oh we are", he whispers. Clovis cuts the throat of the Twi'lek. He then spits on her corpse and walks back to his desk. Two guards came into his office and awaited his orders.

"Take this dirty whore away. Throw her corpse into the incinerator. Burn all the evidence" Clovis says zipping back up his pants. He flops onto his chair and expresses a devilish smile. That was his sixth victim he fucked then murdered. To him there were just objects that provided him pleasure.

The guards nod and take the corpse of the prostitute to be burned.

Clovis receives a call from one of his advisors.

"Hello, what news have you brought me", Clovis says swirling his glass of alcohol around.

The man was silent for a second. "Lott.. Dod.. is dead..", the man stutters.

Clovis throws his glass at the wall shattering it into a million pieces.

"WHAT, HOW", he shouts.

"The Nightstalker sir, he murdered him and exposed all the things he committed", says the man.

Clovis was beyond enraged. All he wanted to do was grab that vigilante and break every single bone in his body. "That mothafucka is going to pay for this shit", he mutters to himself.

"Alright don't do anything let me handle this", Clovis orders the man.

"Understood", says the man. Soon the call ends.

Clovis starts calling and hiring numerous hitmen from all over the galaxy.

"Kill the Nightstalker. Use any means necessary, I want that man dead show no mercy. He should not be left alive", Clovis says to every hitman he hired.

He also placed a 1,000,000 credit bounty on the vigilante's head. Now every bounty hunter and low life looking for a reward will be after the Nightstalker.

Clovis lays back in his chair and kicks his feet up.

"You should've never crossed paths with me Nightstalker", he chuckles to himself.
