Chapter 2 Darth Sidious

Sidious. The name of a sith, a sith thought to be long dead but strangely is not. This is what happened. Vader threw him into a pit. His black cape caught onto a pipe but then ripped. The cape and Sidious fell the cape went to the bottom and Sidious landed on a observing deck near a hanger bay. He ran out put on a space suit and took off then landed on a nearby planet. He disguised himself sold his ship, bought a new on that could go a longer distance and went to Coruscant. And now he is sitting there in the old jedi temple very much alive.

" My apprentice." Sidious said coldly." You didn't kill them did you?"

" No." Said Darth Karath Sidious's new apprentice.

" Your certainly capable of it! Why did you not do it?" Sidious said. Sidious hated having an apprentice that did not follow his orders unless he had not explained them fully. He didn't even want this apprentice to carry out the legacy of the sith. He was much to weak, while his apprentice was ranting on about ridicules excuses Sidious tapped into the force looking for the most powerful but unstable force user he could find. There! Jaden Core a jedi in the new order he was somewhat like Anakin Skywalker.

" Master!"

Karath jogged Sidious out of the meditation trance.

Sidious snarled looking up at his apprentice. He smiled coldly.

" Come my apprentice."

In the new jedi temple

Luke walked in the council room for the second time today. His meditation had not amounted to anything the dark side was starting to blur the force. His strike team awaited him. It included himself Mara, Kyle, Jaden, and another council member called Ai-Di-Ki (pronounced Iy Die key). He walked into the circular room and started to brief them. He told them that if he was right and the shadow was indeed a sith there was likely an other one. Luke wasn't even sure the person he faced was the master. After the briefing they all left the council room and went to the landing platform to board their jedi craft. It took off and suddenly the jedi felt nervous about it. It passed within half an hour though. Then Jaden and Ai-Die-ki began to have a ridicules argument about which tower the sith were hiding in or in Jadens case which part of the temple.

At the old jedi temple

Sidious sensed them before they even landed. He got off his bloody chair and walked down his hall and entered the turbo lift. He went down to ambush the jedi he certainly didn't want them to find him in his tower especially if he didn't kill all of them. Darth Karath was unavailable for Sidious had sent him to Dantooine to get killed in a jedi outpost that he said was empty but of course was full of seventy jedi. Right here was his chance to kill the jedi Jaden he cared about most. He stopped half way down a corridor turned to the left and hid in a shadow. Ai-Di-Ki and Jaden were coming down the hall. Sidious put his hands out and used the force to freeze Ai-Di-Ki. Jaden looked straight at where Sidious was.

"Come out!" Jaden said in a menacing voice. He drew his violet saber.

Sidious activated his own red saber and lunged. Jaden parried his strike. Sidious sneered reveling his black and yellow teeth. Jaden paused and Sididous kicked him hard in the ribs. He fell down and his saber fell out of his hand. Sididous used force push to keep Jaden on the floor. He went up to Ai-Di-Ki and with a casual flick of his saber the jedi's head fell to the ground. Sidious used the force to put jaden in the tower. Now was his chance to kill the remaining jedi.

The old temple's great hall.

Mara walked on one of the tables in the hall. For the remains of dead bodies littered every where else. A balcony surrounded the top of the room and on it Sidious gazed down at Mara. He was pondering on the way he was going kill this young jedi. He was so lost in thought he had not even noticed Mara had exited. About fifteen standard minutes later he finally decided he was going to kill her using the force choke. Only she was of course no longer in the room. Bad. Even worse he sensed Luke Skywalker nearing the spot where Ai-Di-Ki's body lay. He quickly started toward the spot.

Luke didn't see it or sense it at first so he walked and tripped right over it. He got up and studied the object that he had tripped over. He realized it was Ai-Di-Ki from the clothes. His head was not on his body and Luke did not have time to search for it. Something was more important, Jaden where was he? Luke couldn't finish his thought because Darth Sidious jumped out from a shadow behind him. Luke turned and parried the blood red saber coming for his face. Sidious jumped and came down hard but Luke forced pushed him up into the shadows of the ceiling. Sidious gave a very unpleasant laugh and failed to return to the floor. Luke guessed he was holding on to one of the broken rafts that held the ceiling in place. Sidious laughed unpleasantly again but this time he sounded closer to the turbo lift. But the dark side clouded Luke's perception so much he could not even make out the name of this sith nor his age or power amount. Luke decided to leave and find Kyle and Mara for back up as he saw the black robe fly into the turbo lift. As he was running away toward where he felt Kyle he heard the unmistakable sound of the lift being shot up the shaft.

Mara walked into the a and fell over a skull of an ancient padawan jedi. She arose and was in front of a door which she strongly suspected led to a dorm room for it has the letters D-R-M and the one between the D and the and R was scratched off so it looked like a semi circle. Something drew her to it she couldn't quite pinpoint what so she went in. There was nothing special beside the fact that it was more of a suite that the chancellor of the new Republic would have preferred. She walked straight in to it and immediately sensed something strange. It was coming from a behind the door toward the back of the room. She opened it and it led to what looked like an old meditation room and in the center of the room on a cousin sat an enormously fat bald man. His eyes were closed and he looked as if he had recently died from a heart attack. Even though he was in an odd sitting position. Mara decided to check.

" You!" She said as if she was about to arrest him.

The man opened his eyes wide and extended his arms into the air reveling a very strong smell of bad body odor. If Mara did not have the discipline of the jedi she may have reached up and choked herself to escape the smell.

" What are you doing here!" Mara asked drawing her saber in hopes the man would put his fat arms down and the smell would go.

" I-I could a-ask ye the s-s-same question." He said trying to cover his stuttering.

" What did you just say!" Mara said sounding angry to try and get the man to show her respect and put his arms down.

" Damn.' He said clearly realizing who he was talking to. "Your a jedi aren't ye?"

" Yes. And I'll ask you not to say damn in my presence again. Now what are you doing here?''

" I'm am stuyin' da jedi ways. I was medditatin' and ye barge righ' in here ya bi"

" WHAT!"

" Ahh crap. Sorry bu' I

'' What you are doing is illegal you stupid fat man!"

" Wha'! Well I didn' know dat. Crap ye be arrestin' me now aint ye."

" What?" asked Mara not understanding his English.

" Are yuw gonna arrest me?" he asked trying to sound clear.

" Hell yes! You could be put to death by the jedi for discovering this you stupid man!" Mara screeched her anger rising.

And then with a stroke of he saber the man's fat stomach split in half.
