Chapter 3 The turn around

Sidious was talking to Jaden and not having luck finding dark points to begin with. But then he sensed it from far away a powerful rush of anger. Coming from Mara Jade! She had once worked for him when his Empire had begun but she left his service just before the rebels destroyed the last Death Star. She could be converted if Luke was killed. Sidious ran to the turbo lift using the force to push Jaden out the glass window. Now was the time to turn the most powerful jedi since Anakin.

Kyle saw Jaden falling through a window. He reached out with the force and slowed him. And Jaden landed softly on a landing platform below. Kyle rushed down to get him.

Sidious was desperately trying to find Luke before he got to Mara or Kyle. He was having no luck, and he strongly suspected Luke was nearing Kyle which was very bad and worse still he sensed Jaden was alive after being pushed out of that fifty story window in the tower. And Sidious himself could not even begin to imagine how he managed it. Oh well that was not important at the moment, what was more important was to kill Luke in order to convert Mara to the dark side once more. But at that moment he wasn't quite sure how he could manage this. For he had just now remembered why she had converted to the light side in the first place.

It started when he appointed her to go and assassinate princess Leia. That name brought back a lot of anger at her and Vader. Vader because he had captured her and it resulted in the Death star I being destroyed. And Leia for she had stole the plans for it and resulted in herself being capture causing Vader's stupid action in the first place. But that was beside the point at this time, for he had plenty of hours to meditate on this. Back to Mara. She was to a assassinate Leia but she got herself into a horrible accident. Before she even entered the base on Yavin IV. She took out her saber on a speeder in the forest (from what he heard form a spy who happened to be in the forest at the time) and cut the rebels speeder bike. And it blew up right beside her!

She was burned very badly and the spy took her to the rebel base. He was later discovered and killed and Mara was healed so she stayed there to become an X-Wing fighter pilot. She met Luke after the last Death Star blew up and they married. With that last thought Sidious stopped dead in his tracks. Burning! I must burn the temple but get Mara out first. Good the fire must be started in the boiler room which he sensed Mara was headed to right now.

30 minutes later

Sidious had reached the entrance to the boiler room. He went in. It was enormous. The boiler was not on but there was a huge tank of very flammable gas for it. And he sensed Mara very close so close that he turned to his left and stuck out his hand. There was a gasp and he went towards its source of sound. He reached it after about thirty seconds. Mara lay unconscious on the floor her brown hair in her face. Sidious picked her up and slung her over his back remembering that this was the way Anakin had carried Obi-wan after rescuing him aboard the trade federation flagship Invisible Hand. He went to the entrance of the room once more, activated Mara's saber and threw it at the gas tanks. He ran out as quickly as he could and about ten seconds later heard and enormous BOOM! The building shook violently but Sidious kept running.

Luke, Kyle, and Jaden were all knocked back on the landing platform by the violent shaking and the first thought that came to Luke's mind was a sith.

Something was very wrong.
