Chapter Eight: The Ending Conflict

After the ceremony on Kashyyyk, Yoda shook Tarnarfull's hand. They both said goodbye. Yoda walked with the other Jedi onto their carriers. Yoda heard Tarnarfull yell. Yoda said,

"Goodbye, old friend. Miss you, I will." Yoda grinned and walked onto the platform. It rose up and closed. Tarnarfull and the other Wookies watched the ship fly off the ground. All the Wookies yelled at them, shaking their blasters and bowcasters in the air. Then the ship was gone. Meanwhile on Coruscant, Governor Marcus is sitting at his desk when he gets Paregus' transmission from Hoth. He presses a button on the bottom of his desk. A large hologram appears. He sees Paregus, laying on the ground, injured badly, and covered with freezing, icy snow.

"Paregus, what happened?" Marcus asks in a shocked voice. Paregus started to speak , his voice weak.

"G-Governor Marcus, I have en-engage the Sith. It appears to be that he was not the leader of t-the army."

"Explain."

"I fought f-four Sith. Two were killed, one f-fell down a hole, and the other e-escaped. Please come immediately. I don't k-know how l-long I can last. I-I," The transmission fizzled away. Governor Marcus stood up from his desk. I need to tell master Yoda! Elsewhere, on Moontark, Darth Plagueis and his leftover army landed on the rocky surface. He walks out.

"Those Jedi scum! They shall pay for their interruption on Kashyyyk. Even though we have lost many, we shall never be defeated by the Jedi! I shall wait for Baronus' return from Hoth. Plagueis walks away. The doors on the station open. He walks down the hall, and into the room where the six Sith met. The doors open. He was surprised to see that Baronus was sitting in a chair.

"Where have you been, master?"

"I have been on Kashyyyk. The Jedi intervened in the battle. We lost many. Where are the others?"

"They were all destroyed by this Jedi. He goes by the name of Paregus. He must be one of the leaders."

"On Kashyyyk, I fought against a Jedi master from Yaweton."

"I thought all the Jedi on that planet were killed hundreds of years ago."

"I thought so too. He is also probably one of the leaders, too. I never fought a Jedi that powerful before."

"What should we do?" Plagueis sat down.

"We should strike again in the heart of Coruscant! These Jedi should be taken down at once. He shall ensemble all of our Sith warriors and attack Coruscant. We shall kill them all!"

"But, master-"

"Silence!" Plagueis hits Baronus in the face. He falls backwards off his chair and rolls across the floor. He hits the wall. Blood shoots out of his nose. Darth Plagueis stands up. He pulls out his black Lightsaber and points it at him.

"Listen and listen well! You will not question my leadership, you trash!" Plagueis kicks Baronus in the face. He puts his Lightsaber away in his cloak.

"I am sick and tired of your complaining. You are not powerful enough to lead my empire of Sith. You are just like a scared, insignificant, little worm. You don't deserve my power!" He picks Baronus up by using the Force, and throws him against the wall, face first. Then he picks him up again, and throws his back against the wall. Baronus' back leans against the wall. Blood runs down his head and his mouth.

"If want to be powerful and lead my army, prove your worth!" To Plagueis' surprise, Baronus stands up, and pulls out his Lightsaber. He runs faster even than Plagueis, and tries to strike him, but Plagueis pulls out his Lightsaber and blocks it. They both stand in front of each other, pushing against each other's Lightsaber. Plagueis talks.

"Good. You are more powerful than I thought. You do no need to be my apprentice anymore." Plagueis turns it off. He walks away.

"You are my commander, now."

"Thank you, master."

Yoda's carrier lands in the Coruscant hanger bay. Marcus runs to the ship as Yoda and the other Jedi walk out.

"Yoda, listen. Paregus has engaged the Sith on Hoth. Three are dead, but the other one has escaped. He is severely injured, and could die because of the snow storms."

"Hurry, we must, if to save him, we are." Yoda and Marcus walk and get into Marcus' private cruiser. They take off. Yoda talks to him about the battle on Kashyyyk.

"Killed, many were. Escaped, the leader and his army did." Marcus sighed.

"Well, it looks like this war is not going well. We also have heard that Jedi masters Kundo, Marishi, and Nova were killed on planet Geonosis."

"A terrible loss, that is."

"Lets hope we'll make it at Hoth in time to save Paregus."

On Moontark, Plagueis and Baronus is in front of the remaining Sith army, still consisting of thousands.

"Listen, all of you. The time has come to destroy the Jedi with one sweep. I have selected Baronus as your new commander." The crowd cheers. All of the sudden, Bly jumps at Plagueis and kicks him. He pulls out his Lightsaber.

"Why, Plagueis?" Plagueis coughed.

"You were only my tool to start this war, and now you are just a used tool that is worthless now." Plagueis smiles. Bly kicks him again and puts his Lightsaber up in the air, ready to strike.

"I hope you suffer!" Then out of no where, Baronus pulls out his Lightsaber and slashes Bly's arm off. He screams and yelps in pain. He falls on his knees. His arm falls to the ground. Baronus points his Lightsaber at Bly.

"Sorry. It looks like you're just an old tool." Baronus stabs Bly in the chest, pulls it out, and cuts his head off. Bly falls to the ground.

"Master, are you all right?" Plagueis gets up off the ground.

"Yes, I am all right. Now, all of you, hear me. None of shall turn against me, or else you shall feel death!"

Marcus' ship lands on Hoth. Snow blows against the windows as they walk outside.

"Master Yoda, how are we going to find him?"

"Follow me. Sense him, I can." Marcus and Yoda walk through the tundra. They walk slow, because of the fast winds and the freezing sleet and snow. About a half hour later, Marcus sees a body laying in the snow. They run as fast as they can. It is Paregus. He is unconscious. Yoda and Marcus carry his body to the ship. Marcus hurries to the cockpit.

"Hurry, we must." The ship floats off the ground and flies away.

Darth Plagueis walks in front of his army.

"This is the day. This is the day that we shall destroy the Jedi and control the galaxy. This is the day that no one will be able to stop us from achieving our goal. This is the day that we will activate our final plan of this ending conflict. This is the day that we shall rule!" All the Sith run to their carriers. Plagueis and Baronus walk to their ship. They take off to Coruscant. They are flying to their ultimate fate.
