Chapter 8-
Meeting the Emperor
This is the FUN part of the story. Tenchi gets to meet the Emperor after being captured on the Death Star. This is his only chance to rescue the only three girls that are really close to him.
As the Imperial Shuttle made it's way to Coruscant, Tenchi sat there, with an angry look on his face, and Sasami had that typical, scared look a girl gets when she gets kidnapped. Then, (I say "then" a lot, don't I?) Tenchi heard a voice in his mind, "Tenchi!" Tenchi panicked and looked around, but saw no one, "Tenchi! I'm talking to you telepathically." The voice said and Tenchi replied, "Oh! Wait, who are you?" "It's Darrell." "Darrell? Where are you?" "I'm no longer of this Earth Tenchi, Vader destroyed me back at the Death Star." Tenchi became shocked. He asked how that happened and Darrell explained everything. "That bastard! I'll kill him!" Tenchi said in anger but Darrell told him, "Tenchi! You must not let your feelings get in the way of your duties. Control your anger!" Darrell told him, he then relaxed, "Don't waste your energy now, save it for Vader! But for that, I cannot help you. You're on your own Tenchi."
"But why? I can't go on alone." Tenchi pointed out, but Darrell explained that he will always be with him, as well as the force. With those final words, he vanished. Finally, they approached Coruscant, and the Emperor. The shuttle touched down, and Vader, Tenchi, and Sasami exited the ship and approached a transport that would take them to the Emperor. After they approached the Imperial building, they stepped off the transport and into the building. Inside, they saw all kinds of Storm Troopers and Imperial officers. They walked through the corridors of the building, until they came to an elevator. They went all the way to the top level, and when the doors opened, they saw the back of a chair. It started to turn around and it revealed a hooded man.
All they could see were his yellow eyes and you could hear his spine tingling voice, "Welcome young Masaki. I have been expecting you for some time. You no longer need those." He waved his hand the cuffs came off. "Guards, bring me the girls." He ordered, and the Imperial guards (the guys with the red outfits), left the room to bring in Ayeka and Ryoko. Vader then said, "Allow me to introduce you to the ruler of the Empire, the dark lord of the Sith, Emperor Sidious." Tenchi looked at him and saw through the darkness in his hood. All he saw was an old man with a lot of wrinkles. The guards returned with Ayeka and Ryoko and Sidious then told them, "Good, you're just in time to watch one of the most exciting moments in history." Ayeka and Ryoko looked happy to see him, tried to run to him, but they were pulled back by the guards. "Ayeka! Ryoko!" Tenchi shouted, but he was held back by Vader. Tenchi then looked at Sidious and demanded that he let them go, but he refused and went off subject by telling him, "I look forward to completing your training. In time you will call me…..Master!" He then laughed maniacally.
