Chapter 50

Meanwhile On Coruscant

Dark Emperor Sheev Palpatine was sitting on the throne he had made especially for him. Thexan had already left with his new master, Darth Vader, and Arcann stayed with his. Their true identities were not to be known in public. They were the secret weapons, known as 'Eternal Twins'. So basically, no one knew that they were literally the devil's spawns.

Arcann was practicing in front of him but Sidious' mind was completely somewhere else. He finally had what he wanted and planned for it for 15 years. Have the legendary chosen one by his side. Not only he could use his power but by turning Anakin to the dark side and his apprentice, he also made sure that the chosen one's threat was no longer one.

There was only one problem left.

Laetitia Skywalker.


From the second Sidious felt Laetitia's existence, he wanted her. She had powers that no one, not even her own father who was practically the most powerful Jedi ever existed, understood. Her strength in the Force even outmatched her father's.

She also had the ability to create and take life. Taking a life using only the Force is a Sith move but that doesn't mean she's not capable of doing it. Although she had only tried it on animals and plants, she could control the midi-chlorians and do things like speed up the process or even bring people back from the dead, if she put her mind to it.

But the Jedi had never allowed her to practice those things. They thought it would break the balance in the Force. 'What's dead should stay dead. It is the will of the Force' and blah blah blah.

Sidious didn't care. With powers and a will like hers, he could concur the entire Galaxy within a day. If only she decided to use all of what's been given to her. If only she turned to the dark side.

The whole point of turning Anakin Skywalker to the dark side wasn't just because Sidious wanted to have powers like his by his side, or even destroy the prophecy by destroying the chosen one. It also to have Laetitia by his side.

He thought if she went through something that made her enraged, she would be vulnerable to his manipulations, because she would never fall for his tricks and promises like her father. He figured that experience should be being betrayed by the person she loved the most. Her father.

To be honest, Sidious didn't expect such a harsh response and reaction from Laetitia. He expected her to be angry, sad, then angry again, disappointed but at the end, she would stay by her father's side. He had expected her to do literally anything other than what had gone down. Laetitia dismembering her own father and leaving for dead as he was burning in lava.

But it was still possible. Now that she had gone through the most unspeakable thing, having to witness her father kill her pregnant mother, then kill her father and lose her sibling in one day, which happened to be her birthday. She was broken, which meant vulnerable to the dark side and weak to resist it.


That was good but what was he supposed to do with Vader?

He's her father and those two loved each other so much that no one could even imagine. Sidious had thought after what she had done, Vader would kill his daughter on sight but that didn't happen. It won't.

Palpatine was sure of it when he saw Vader asking for his daughter the first thing after waking up. It was clear he still loved her. Saving her soul was the reason he turned to the dark side and the loss of her is what made him stay. But none of that mattered. As long as she was alive, his Empire would never be safe. He would never be safe.

He knew that when Vader and Laetitia saw each other again, there was a possibility that Vader would return to being Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one. It wasn't even a possibility. He was sure of it. She always had an annoying way to calm him down.

Sidious had that problem taken care of for now. By telling his apprentice that his daughter had killed herself. He knew that Padme lived long enough to give birth to another Skywalker child but he also felt him disappear in the Force. Which was a good thing. That meant he was dead. The last thing he needed was to have another Skywalker brat hell-bent on killing him.

What he couldn't get out of his head was what he saw when he sucked the life Force out of Padme Amidala. Laetitia's eyes. Anger, disgust and hatred were flowing through them. Those were the perfect qualities to become a Sith Lord but it wasn't a good thing for Sidious. All the anger he felt from her was towards him.

That was the moment he realized that no matter which side Laetitia Skywalker ended up on, he would be on the exact opposite and she would kill him.

Having her power at his disposal was a good thing but it meant nothing if he was dead.

He couldn't take that risk. He needed to find her and get rid of her, without Vader knowing. Even if she was turned to the dark side, the anger that he felt from her was something that would only grow if she was a Sith.


Sidious stopped whatever he was doing because of what he felt in the Force. He could no longer feel the daughter of Anakin Skywalker. She was gone and disappeared from the Force. It was as if she was … dead.

Sidious checked in the Force to make sure but what he was feeling was right. Laetitia Skywalker was dead. Who knows? Maybe what he told his apprentice was right and she really couldn't take in everything that happened and killed herself.

He smiled to himself. A big problem was taken care of, without even having to lift a finger.

All that mattered was that Laetitia Skywalker was no more a problem to him.


On the other side of the Galaxy

Laetitia was coming into. She slowly opened her eyes. She carefully looked around and realized that she was on a transport ship. Who knows from where and to what destination.

She groaned a little bit and sat up. She saw a young girl approach her. A young man followed her. They looked to be around 15 years old. They both had brown hair and but the boy's eyes were brown and the girl's were blueish green.

"Are you awake now? You were sleeping straight from Tatooine." The girl said.

Tatooine? Where is that?

"You okay, kid?" The boy asked.

"Um … uh … I'm sorry, who are you?" Laetitia asked frowning. She had no idea what was happening.

"You speak really well for a kid, and kinda bold." The boy said wondering.

"I'm Qi'ra. This is my partner, Han." The girl said pointing her hand at the boy.

"Hey." Han shook his head.

"Who are you?" Qi'ra continued.

Leah did her best to remember the answer to that question but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.

After a moment, she said "I have no idea."

Done :)
