"Mace, Halloween today it is." Yoda states as the rest of the Council leave the room, leaving just him, Mace, and Depa.

"I am aware, Yoda. What's so special about it?" Mace inquires confused.

"A perfect scary prank I have!" Yoda declares, Mace sighs and looks to Depa for help, who immediately gets up from her seat.

"See you, Master!" Depa says and rushes out of the room, Mace looks somberly towards the doors.

"We have talked about this, Yoda. No pranks! The last one you pulled cost us so much money to fix the Temple, and we didn't even have the money to fix everything you broke! Plus, for some reason, my quarters was the one to take the most damage!" Mace states.

"My fault it was not, that Skywalker set off fireworks in your quarters." Yoda defends.

"Right, and I'm supposed to believe that." Mace exasperates.

"Haven't heard my big plan, you have not," Yoda says, and Mace rolls his eyes, he sighs and nods his head, motioning for Yoda to continue. "Prank the Chancellor, we will. Dress up as Sith and pretend to kidnap him, we will! Worry about guards we will not, give them all day off, I have!" Yoda states, grinning like a maniac.

"Uhuh, and who will be accompanying you?" Mace questions.

"Skywalker, Tano, Kenobi, Billaba, Vos, Fisto, and you." Yoda declares.

"Fisto and Depa I understand, but Obi-Wan? How did you get him? And what do you mean me?! I never agreed to this." Mace states.

"Threatened, Obi-Wan was, if he was not to go, send embarrassing information about him to the Duchess, I would. And go you will, or same I will do to you." Yoda declares.

"I don't have a girlfriend to send embarrassing things to." Mace retorts.

"Haha. Never said embarrassing things to you. Threaten you I will" Yoda evilly says.

"Really?! What are you going to threaten me with?" Mace counters.

"Hm, creche duty, I will put you on, for a long time you will." Yoda smirks and Mace feels a chill run down his back.

"Fine." Mace mumbles out, and Yoda laughs as he leaves the room. "Darn menacing, green, short, ugly, troll!" Mace says, cursing him.

"Heard you I did and revenge I will get for calling me ugly and short!" Yoda yells and Mace quickly exits the rooms.


"Everybody ready!" Ahsoka excitedly says. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Quinlan, Kit, Depa, Yoda, and Mace stand huddled together outside of the Senate entrance as they put on their black robes and ready their red training sabers.

"I for one, am not. I am here against my will." Obi-Wan states.

"As am I, Obi-Wan. But we might as well get this over with." Mace tiredly says.

"That's the spirit, Master," Depa says, rubbing her hands together.

"Are we just going to talk? Or are we going to go scare an old man now?" Quinlan complains.

"Does no one see a problem with what he just said?" Obi-Wan asks but everyone ignores him.

"I agree with Quin, let's hurry up." Kit says excitedly.

"Yeah, this will be even more epic than last year!" Anakin exclaims.

"To me, it will be, because at least it's not in my quarters," Mace complains, and Obi-Wan nods.

"Go now we will! Exciting, I can sense this will be." Yoda cackles. They all move towards the entrance and enter; they finally make their way to the Chancellor's office and Ahsoka stifles a giggle.

"Ready?" Yoda inquires and everyone nods. They burst through the doors and Palpatine jumps up from his seat in shock.

"Who are you?!" Palpatine demands.

"It matters not who we are, only why we're here." Yoda whispers, his voice low and chilling, unrecognizable.

"But if you must know, we are Sith. We are the fearsome 8. We send chills down everyone we meet, but usually, they never live long enough to share their experiences because we kill them before we have the chance." Ahsoka darkly states.

"Yes, anyone we meet, we kill, and burn their houses down! HAHA!" Quinlan laughs.

"I've never heard of you guys. And there's only 2 Sith right now, no other!" Palpatine declares.

"You haven't heard of us because no one has lived to tell. Have you ever heard of the planet Yolahn? Probably not, because we blew it up so it's no longer a planet!" Kit declares, Mace looks at him and shakes his head.

"We killed everyone on the planet, and not just the men, the women, and the children too." Anakin evilly states Obi-Wan looks at his padawan disturbed by his words.

"Impossible, I would have known!" Palpatine states.

"No, you would not have, and if you did, you would not be standing here right now! You would be dead!" Depa snarks. Yoda looks at Obi-Wan and Mace nodding, and they both sigh.

"Yes, you would be dead and not breathing as you are now." Obi-Wan states and Anakin rolls his eyes.

"Why are you here then? To kill me? Kidnap me?" Palpatine demands.

"We are here to kidnap you because we want to, although some of us might not even want to be here," Mace says and Yoda grumbles.

"Stop talking you will!" Yoda exclaims and Palpatine grins.

"You aren't Sith, I refuse to believe you hooligans." Palpatine declares. Yoda looks to the group and they all nod, Mace, and Obi-Wan reluctantly. They take out their red training sabers and ignite them, Palpatine looks at them fearfully and gulps.

"Impossible." Palpatine gulps.

'Hardly not, and now we will kidnap you and torture you for eternity." Ahsoka cackles.

"Yes, for eternity! HAHAH!" Quinlan cackles along with Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Mace inch farther from the duo as they start to cackle, they hear a thump and quickly turn to the Chancellor who is now motionless on the ground.

"Um, is he dead?" Kit timidly asks.

"Oh, my Force! We killed the Chancellor! We killed the Chancellor!" Anakin shouts as Quinlan quickly puts his hand over his mouth.

"We need to leave," Quinlan states.

"How are we going to do that without getting caught? We told the clones about our prank!" Depa exclaims.

"Well, the clones don't even like the guy, so they probably won't rat on us for doing what they wish they could have done, right?" Ahsoka reasons.

"We killed the Chancellor!" Anakin once again says.

"You know, we probably shouldn't have tried to scare an old man," Ahsoka concludes.

"Really? You're just figuring that out?!" Anakin shrieks.

"Hmph, old man I am and wouldn't have died I would not have," Yoda mutters. A lightsaber comes to life and the group looks to Mace and Obi-Wan who are at the former Chancellor's desk. Mace is looking at what Obi-Wan has in his hands, revealing a bleeding lightsaber.

"Master?" Ahsoka squeaks out. Quinlan and Kit stare in shock as Depa and Yoda look curiously at Obi-Wan.

"Oh my! My Master is a Sith! Obi-Wan! How could you?!" Anakin hyperventilates.

"Seriously, Anakin. I pull out a red saber and you immediately think I am a Sith?!" Obi-Wan exclaims. "I'll have you know, I pulled this out of your "dearly departed friend's" desk."

"He was a Sith!" Anakin exclaims and Obi-Wan rolls his eyes.

"At least we killed him?" Ahsoka shrugs.

"Yes, why don't we tell that to the Senate to explain this "fiasco" tomorrow, they will probably not execute us if we tell them that, right?" Mace sarcastically states.

"Stress out, we will not. Find a solution to this we will." Yoda proposes.

"Oh please, you are the one who brought us into this mess. And to add onto this, me and Obi-Wan didn't even want to go!" Mace exclaims.

"Let's all just calm down." Depa calmly says, intervening

"How are we supposed to calm down when we're going to die for murder!" Anakin cries out, and Ahsoka rolls her eyes at her master.

"I propose we just leave; we turned off the cameras, there are no witnesses, the clones won't rat on us, and no one will know it was us." Quinlan proposes.

"Are we just going to forget that he was the Sith Lord, or is something more important going on?" Obi-Wan questions.

"Yes, Obi, we are forgetting for now." Quinlan states, and Obi-Wan once again sigh at his friend.

"Agree I do, scatter we must." Yoda agrees and the group nods. Everyone quickly rushes out leaving Mace and Obi-Wan behind.

"You know, I'm beginning to think we are the only decent ones on the Council." Mace ponders.

"Really? Not even Plo?" Obi-Wan questions.

"Are you kidding? He snuck into my quarters the other night with a bunch of initiates and put whip cream on my head, then topped it with a berry." Mace complains.

"Then you are right, my friend. We are surrounded by idiots." Obi-Wan states and Mace nods as they exit the building.


"Breaking News. The Chancellor was just found dead inside his office this morning. There is no evidence as to why he died but the medics claim it was most likely a heart attack. As the premises were being cleared, investigators found disturbing items that had previously belonged to the now-former Chancellor, including multiple Sith artifacts, a lightsaber, and a direct comm link to General Grievous and Count Dooku's comms. This is Molly for Coruscant News, we'll bring you more updates at 11."
