plans of destroying the Jedi may become
a reality. Thousands of Jedi, now
considered soldiers, are deployed on countless
planets, to protect the galaxy from the Sith, and
to restore peace and justice...
Chapter Nine: The Final Battle
Paregus lays on a bed in the hospital. He opens his eyes slowly. He sees Yoda and Marcus standing beside his bed. He slowly sits up. He puts his hand on his arm. It's still numb.
"What happened?" he asks.
"I got your message. We went to find you." says Marcus.
"What about the Sith on Kashyyyk?"
"Died, many did. Yet, escaped, the Sith did."
"The leader and the rest of his army flew back to their hole. This isn't the end of it."
"What should we do?" asks Paregus.
"You shouldn't do anything, right now. You need to rest. You need to regain your strength."
"But, I can't just lay here and rest. What happens if the Sith strike again?"
"Not to worry, you are." Yoda and Marcus walk out of the room. Paregus lays back down, staring at the ceiling.
On the ship, Darth Plagues is explaining to his men on what to do.
"All right, men. This is our only chance to have the upper hand in this war. We must win this battle. If we don't, it could be the end of us. We must take them down no matter what it takes! We will strike when they're least expecting it. I feel that we will be victorious. This is the final battle. The battle that will decide our fate and the Jedi's." Plagues walks into his office and sits near Baronus. He looks at him.
"Do not fail me, Baronus. This is the key for us to win this war and to destroy the Jedi."
"I understand, master."
"You are much stronger than that weak Bly. Even though he lead the bombings and was with me on Kashyyyk, he was always weak. He thought too much instead of making a decision. So I hope you are a better man to help me lead these men of ours."
"I won't fail you, master."
"For your sake, I hope so." The ship is nearing Coruscant. The Sith are sitting, waiting eagerly. Some are clutching their Lightsabers in their hands, while others are just sitting quietly, waiting.
Elsewhere, on Coruscant, Paregus is up and better as Yoda walks into the room in the hospital wing.
"Better, are you?"
"Yes. Actually, I've never felt better. I have been thinking about something. Do you think that the Sith are going to attack again?"
"Hard to see, this is."
"What would happen if they did?"
"Not to worry, Master Paregus." Marcus walks into the room with a grin on his face.
"Why shouldn't I worry?" asks Paregus.
"Our security has established a new and improved so-called "army". These "soldiers" are the strongest guards we've ever had. They are to help you if the Sith would attack again. Would you like to see them?" Paregus and Yoda follow Marcus to the Security Skyscraper. They walk into a dark, pitch black hanger. Marcus turns on the lights. The two Jedi can't believe what they are seeing.
In the hanger are thousands of body suits and armor, countless weapons, like heavy blaster rifles, pistols, rocket launchers, assault rifles, electric grenades, smoke bombs, incinerator mines, and more. Jet packs are hanging on the wall behind glass windows. There were modified swoop bikes with room for two. One to drive and one to fire a large, heavy blaster cannon in the back. There were also basic blasters on each side, strong enough to penetrate armor. Marcus walks up to a suit of armor. He touches the left arm.
"As you can see, they are two gauntlets on each wrist. When you press the button on the left one, a long, beam saber extends out. On the right one, a shield appears. It can block any blaster shot of Lightsaber cut."
"When did all this start?" asks Paregus.
"Ever since the Sith attacked nearby planets. These soldiers will fight with you in battle. The Sith will never have a clue."
"Ready, when will they?"
"In in a few weeks, possibly a month. Just in case, though, we'll have to speed up the process."
"Thank you." said Paregus. Yoda and Paregus walked away.
On the ships, the Sith are getting ready for the final battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy. Plagueis put on his dark, blood-red armor suit. He wrapped his belt around his waist. He put three extra Lightsabers on the belt. He coughed and walked to Baronus.
"It's time." Baronus nodded. All the Sith stand up, holding on ropes on the ceiling.
"Hang on." says the pilot. The ships go through the atmosphere. They fly over the clouds so people can't see them coming. The doors on the sides open as they fly near the Government building. Many Jedi are outside, guarding the building.
"All right, this is it. Half of you will jump out with me, while the others will give covering fire. Lets go!"
Plagueis and Baronus jump, as do the others. The ship fires a shot from their cannon. It hits the ground. Dirt flies in the air as do some Jedi. The Jedi see the Sith in the sky. They pull out their Lightsabers as do the Sith. Shots are fired constantly from the ships, dirt flying everywhere. The ground shakes. Smoke spreads like wild fire. Plagueis kicks a Jedi's head in the ground, blood splatters on Plagueis' boot. He slashes one in half, and slabs another in the stomach. He then Force pushes a window open on the building. Sith run into the building, killing the guards inside. Yoda and Paregus see the Sith inside the Security Skyscraper.
"Get the others, we must." Paregus nods. He pulls out his yellow Lightsaber. Yoda pulls out his green Lightsaber. They run down the steps. Suddenly a cannon shot hits the side. The wall blows open. Yoda and Paregus duck, then continue running. The other thousands of Jedi running the street, charging at the Sith. Plagueis sees them. At last! He runs at the first Jedi and stabs him. He kicks one, and rams his fist into another's stomach. The Jedi comes running behind him. Plagueis smiles. He kicks him in the knee, pulls out his Lightsaber, and shoves it it the Jedi's neck. He pulls it out. Baronus sees Paregus. There is that scum! He charges at Paregus and kicks him in the wall. Paregus jumps back up. They run at each other, hitting each other as they try to strike each other with their sabers. Yoda runs up to the top of the Government building. He leads Marcus to a secret shelter in the hanger.
"Stay here, you must." Yoda runs out. Marcus pulls out a comlink.
"Get ready, men."
Smoke and fire is everywhere. Jedi and Sith are laying on the ground. The ships continue to fire at the Jedi. The Sith use the dead bodies as shields against the Jedi. Plagueis jumps on one Jedi and and kicks him into the wall. He flips behind another, and grabs him by the neck. He throws the Jedi through a window. He then sees a Jedi woman in the ally beside the building. It looked like she had to stayed there to snip at the Sith. He Force jumped over the ally and landed behind her. She doesn't notice anything. He grabs her and throws her on the ground. He sits on his knees. He uses the Force to paralyze her arms, and legs.
Meanwhile, Yoda runs down the steps of the building with his Lightsaber in front of him. A group of Sith run up the steps, charging at Yoda. He jumps and slashes them all in the back. They roll down the steps. Yoda jumps again. He Force pushes many into the wall, and jumps down. One tries to hammer him, but Yoda slides under the Sith's legs and ends up behind the Sith. He stabs him in the leg. He flies up and slashes others. He then stops and senses something happening in the ally.
Paregus and Baronus are facing each other. He kicks Paregus down, and Force jumps up on top of the building. Paregus gets up, and also Force jumps up. They charge at each other and clash their Lightsabers together. Paregus Force pushes Baronus. He falls backwards off the building, but then recovers, and lands on his feet. He looks up at Paregus. Paregus jumps down. He lands in front of Baronus, and punches him in the face. He falls down, and gets back up. He wipes the blood off his chin. He smiles.
"Is that the best? You're weak."
"Really? Well, come on, then!" Baronus runs to him and they clash together.
Plagueis is sitting on his knees above the Jedi woman. He puts his one hand on the woman's neck. He pulls out his black Lightsaber with the other. He holds it in the air above her head.
"You think you Jedi can win? Ha, you underestimate the power of the Dark Side." Suddenly Yoda Force pushes Plagueis off her. His Lightsaber flies in the air and hits the wall. He slides down to the end of the ally. He releases her. She coughs and puts her hand on her throat. She then grabs her Lightsaber and goes to the battle outside. Plagueis gets up and retrieves his Lightsaber, and points it at Yoda.
"Meet again, we do. End, this war does."
"You will never defeat us. We will reign supreme!" Plagueis slides near Yoda, and slashes at him. Yoda flips onto the wall, and shoots at Plagueis. He blocks Yoda's slash and jumps back. Suddenly one of the ships explode and falls onto a nearby building.
"What!"
Dark figures are barely seen through the thick smoke. Many are carrying Heavy blaster rifles, rocket launchers, and pistols. Long sabers and shields are also seen on many. The Sith look in bewilderment. The figures start charging at the Sith, firing their weapons. A row of explosions go right through a group of Sith. Dirt flies everywhere. Heavy blasters are literally tearing Sith apart. Another ships goes up in flames as it falls to the ground. Blast shots are shooting in rows at the Sith. It hits them as they fall to the ground. Blood squirts out of the bodies as the shots continue in the same direction. Baronus sees this, then Paregus kicks him into the rows of shots. Baronus is shot multiple times. He falls to the ground. Plagueis sees him.
"No!"
Plagueis runs at Yoda, constantly slashing and stabbing at him. Yoda flips behind him and stabs him in the leg. Plagueis hits the wall and falls down. Blood runs down his head. Yoda runs to the battle outside the ally. A few hours later, the battle is over. The streets are flooded with dead Jedi, Sith, and security guards. Smoke is everywhere. Buildings are laying in ruins. The ships are laying on buildings. The Security Skyscraper and the Government building have taken heavy damage. Small holes have covered the walls. Small craters are in the streets. Yoda, Paregus, and many other Jedi and soldiers are standing in the streets, looking around as the surviving Sith are taken away by Jedi and guards. Many are covered with dirt and dried blood. Paregus walks near Yoda.
"Where is the leader?"
"Dead, he is. His Lawanda, what about?"
"He is laying right there on the ground." Paregus points to Baronus' body on the ground. There were several blaster wounds in his stomach, blood staining his body armor.
"Where is the leader's body?" asks Paregus.
"Laying in the ally, it is."
"What was he doing there?"
"Trying to kill a female Jedi, he did."
"Why did he do that for?"
"Hidden, she was."
"So what about the other Sith?"
"Put on trial, they will be. The end of the Sith, this could be."
Paregus and Yoda walk away to check on Governor Marcus. The other Jedi are looking for any survivors. In the ally, Plagueis stands up slowly. He grabs his Lightsaber. He walks out. The Jedi see him. Instead of fighting with his Lightsaber, he shocks them to death with Force lighting. They fall to the ground, smoke coming off their bodies. He walked to Baronus' body. He knees down. He wipes the blood on his head. He puts his hand on Baronus' head. He then closes his eyes and breathes in. A kind of energy ray forms between Baronus' head and Plagueis' hand. Baronus then gasps. Plagueis has just done what is virtually impossible. He brought Baronus back to life! Plagueis then stood up.
"Rise, my apprentice." Baronus stands up in front of Plagueis.
"Master, what happened?"
"A secret army came. They killed just about every Sith here. I'm afraid that we've failed in our mission."
"What should we do now?" asks Baronus.
"We must go into hiding. If the Jedi find us, they will kill us. Come we must-" His words were cut short when guards and Jedi saw them. The guards started to shoot. Plagueis reflected their shots. Baronus jumped and sliced through the guards. Plagueis slides through the Jedi and slashes them in the back. Plagueis and Baronus run to a nearby Cruiser. He lift off and fly away.
Next chapter: Plagueis, Yoda, and Governor Marcus are informed from a surviving guard that Plagueis and Baronus have stolen a cruiser and have escaped. Paregus has chosen to go after them and capture them. He finds out that they were on the planet of Moontark the whole time. He fights against Plagueis and Baronus in a fierce battle. Paregus fails, but Plagueis meets his true fate! On the next shocking chapter of Star Wars: Rise of the Sith- Chapter 10: Greed and Betrayal.
Also! I am putting on a one-shot story called Outlaws and Bounties, a western in the Star Wars galaxy. It's about a bounty hunter named Jid Miles, who used to be the best bounty hunter(besides Boba Fett), but because of mysterious events that occurred 10 years before, he is at the bottom of the list. All of his employer's hunters were murdered by an assassin, so Jid was the only one left. Learn why this assassin only kills bounty hunters.
