The death of a Titan
Chapter 1
Darth Pleageus the Wise stood on the balcony of his hideout on Coruscant, his dark robes flying everywhere with the wind. The planet Coruscant was a big perpetual city, it was the centre of the republic; it was the city that never slept. From the crowded traffic in the sky, to the pits of the city below, it was like one big concrete and durasteel animal.
It was in this city that the mysterious sith resided and hid.
The Sith Order started almost a two millennia ago when a renegade jedi sought to use the force to gain power. The Sith flourished and had power over the jedi, until they started killing each other to gain more power. The result of this was that there was only one Sith left, Darth Bane.
Darth Bane reformed the Sith order so it would hold only two individuals at a time. A master and an apprentice, a deadly partnership, one, which was well hidden.
Standing on the balcony, Darth Pleageus remembered his old master, Darth Bane, He remembered how his master had whipped him. His abusive training only gave Pleageus more anger, which he used to fuel himself even deeper into the dark side. Now Pleageus had even found a way to stop death, this was his legendary power, to stop death. So deep in the dark side was Pleageus that all his emotions had been drained from him. He didn't feel any emotion, he only felt anger. The sith had been overturned by the jedi. Now nobody even knew the sith existed. But all that would change. Soon the sith would rule again and nobody, not even a jedi would have the power to stop them. Soon there would be an empire where only the sith ruled and the jedi didn't exist.
But Pleageus knew all that depended on the chosen one…
Pleageus turned to watch his young apprentice. He was practicing his sabre skills against sparing droids. The droids fell to the floor at the skill of his apprentice. Pleageus knew that it would not be him who took the republic and turned it into the empire, it would be his apprentice.
Pleageus had found him on Naboo while searching for a jedi he discovered something a lot more interesting. Palpatine (apprentice) was found by Pleageus as a small boy. Palpatine was corrupted by the way Pleageus spoke of the power of the dark side. Palpatine trained hard with total dedication to the dark side and finally was given the title of Darth Sidious.
He had taught Sidious nearly everything he knew. He knew was Sidious was cold, cruel and manipulative. Although Sidious was totally loyal to the dark side the same could not be said about his loyalty to his master. There were times when Sidious had even abandoned his master in the face of grave danger. But there was no such thing as grave danger to Pleageus. Pleageus had killed many jedi because they had found out that the sith existed. So many had fallen to Pleageus's blade that it was uncountable.
Pleageus walked into the room where his apprentice was training. All the sparing droids were destroyed on the floor and in the middle of all the destruction stood Sidious in combat formation. He spun his lightsabre above his head and then sheathed it in.
"Careful, Lord Sidious, the prices of sparing droids are going up and now they are only sold at the jedi temple,"
"Yes, master," said Sidious as he bowed before his master. His eyes were cold and full of anger towards his master. "Come, Lord Sidious I sense great anger in you, that's good but that anger is pointing at me, why?"
"It is nothing," said Sidious with gritted teeth. All Sidious wanted was that for his master to treat like an adult. To stop holding him back from the real power of the dark side. Suddenly Sidious couldn't control his anger. He activated his lightsabre and stabbed at his master but his master was to quick. He dodged the stab and then force gripped his apprentice. Sidious's body levitated. Pleageus then force pushed Sidious into a wall. "Don't bother" said Pleageus quietly as he left the room.
