Chapter 7 Jedi Retreat

Retired senator Mon Mothma last living of the old republic sat in her high rise suite watching the holonet. There were reports flying around that the chancellor had been killed by a jedi and there was an attack going on in space. Apparently an imperial star destroyer was attempting to invade Couruscant and the jedi were defending. Nothing made sense to her. She switched off the news and went to her giant veranda just in time to see a shuttle and several Tie-fighters fly into space. She gasped and went to her speeder. She was going to the senate to get to the bottom of this.

Sidious laughed unpleasantly as Amra told him of how Jaden was killed apparently her force lightning left no marks on him. Plageuis looked thoughtfully at Sidious.

" Why did you kill me?" he asked Sidious simply. Sidious turned to him taken by surprise at this question.

" I wanted to be the master." Sidious said with a sneer. Plageuis frowned then did the unexpected he extended his saber cut a hole in the shuttle and jumped out. They had not yet left the atmosphere yet so no air escaped the shuttle. The hole was filled with a ray shield and Sidious stared in disgust at the dot falling through the clouds.

" Master?" Amra asked.

" We don't need him ,let him rot."

Amra smiled

" Master shall we kill some jedi?" She asked as the ship had left the atmosphere the ray shield keeping the air in. Sidious smiled.

" Pilot to the jedi cruiser."

" Sorry sir I've just received word it has jumped to hyper space."

" What? Follow it and order the star destroyer and frigate the same. What let me get out of here in an escape pod now is my time to take over the senate. Amra stay and slaughter them all."

" Yes sir." the pilot replied.

" Yes master." Amra said.

The star destroyer

" You have their coordinates JUMP I've received orders from Sidious." Cody screeched at the hyper drive monitor. A few seconds later the star destroyer jumped as did the frigate and Sidious's shuttle, which was only occupied by Amra and the pilot. The Tie-fighters jumped soon after them.

In the senate

All senators had been seated as told to do so. Sidious was rising on the chancellor's podium. Several of the red robe guards had recognized him and were still loyal.

" Calm down senators. The jedi killed your chancellor" Sidious started but was cut off.

" Who are you?" Asked Mon Mothma who had entered the Naboo pod as part of it's senator's staff.

" Mon Mothma. Senators the Naboo senators staff member. She is the mastermind of the jedi! She is now an enemy of the Republic." Sidious screeched. Several senators gasped, as did Mon Mothma for she had recognized the hooded man. She stood up, as did all the senators.

" That is Palpatine!" She cried but her cry was muffled by the cry of all the senators who in Mon Mothma's opinion they were all complete idiotic morons. When Leia was chancellor they said yes to every suggestion that was given by her, which Mon Mothma strongly hoped they wouldn't do but unfortunately they did.

" Arrest her then." The senators chanted and it sounded as if they were completely brainwashed what was worse was that this entire event was being shot live via holonet. Once the chant stopped two red robed guards entered the Naboo pod in which Mon Mothma now stood and seized her by the wrists they led her out forcefully and she suspected they were going to take her to Coruscanti Prison and soon after that they did.

" Senators let me lead you and together we will crush the jedi traitors and I shall take over Leia's place as chancellor!" Sidious screeched. The senators all looked at him and sadly they agreed. These senators were so incredibly inept that they had failed to think of the outcome of right on the spot declaring this hooded man chancellor. They had also failed to notice from the history holograms they had all studied that this man used to be when he was emperor many years ago and was also the most hated man in the galaxy. As Mon Mothma was being dragged away and she heard the senators agree she could not help wondering what Padme or Bail Organa could have done if they were still alive to stop this tragic event from happening.

The Jedi's fighter

The jedi had come out of hyperspace by a planet beyond the outer rim. It was an ice planet called Ren-var. They had ejected themselves in escape pods or whatever x-wings were still left to escape the imperials who had them outnumbered in a five to one margin. Shortly after the imperials arrived as did Amra. She hated war like this because they had to prepare at least the storm troops did. Several hours later they were ready, Amra had left her shuttle and boarded the star destroyer to kill several storm troops for she was so frustrated. But now they were ready. Troops of the imperial and the sith army boarded landing crafts to land and kill the remaining jedi of course the ships were not left unattended.

Several hours later

The storm troops had landed several miles away from Amra had. They had landed by a cave with nothing but ice inside. Ice and two hundred and seventy seven jedi, actually two hundred seventy six. That number was the reason Amra had landed several miles away by a stone tower. Inside it she sensed the most powerful good force user ever since Luke. Whom Amra had suspected dead since Sidious had told her he was that was of course the reason she had turned to the dark side. And she had even had her revenge by killing Jaden whom she suspected was one of Luke's murderers. She removed her hood this jedi had so much power that she believed he should see her face.

At the top of the tower.

Amra walked through the small arch way to the top of the tower and who she saw on the small veranda made her gasp. Luke Skywalker immediately turned around and also gasped a look of hurt in his eyes. She had a strong idea why. In his hand was a portable holopad and on it was playing the holonet news. The reporter was talking about Leia's death and apparently Jaden was still alive. Amra had not quite killed him he was in a medical center being healed and he would be placed in jail.

" Mara your alive. And the holonet said two people entered Leia's office, one was you wasn't it? Luke asked waves of hurt in his voice. Amra was about to reply to Luke when she realized he would try to bring her back to the jedi to become one again. And Amra decided that she couldn't, she could never go back. She had killed to many. So she said.

" I'm sorry Luke. What I've done is to terrible, don't even ask me to return. I can't and one of us has to die." And with that she activated her blood red sith blade. Luke activated his forest green one. And then he backfliped of the balcony landing on a speeder bike Amra had not noticed. Amra ran to the veranda and watched Luke speed away and other jedi all on speeder bikes followed him. Then Amra realized she had been suckered. This was all a plan. The jedi knew they would not destroy their ships. The x-wings and escape pods they brought down would all go back to their ship. It would take the troops several hours to regroup and by that time the jedi would be gone. It would proubley take several hours to get all he troops on the ship. Amra went down to her shuttle. She would just go back to Couruscant now. Luke had dropped the holopad in which the reporter was announcing a man named Sidious was voted by the senate chancellor. Amra new that sort of vote only happened if the chancellor died. Sidious proubley had to explain himself before he was elected Amra thought. That she would have to see. And she would have to tell him about Luke. She knew she would have to face him once more but right now Sidious she had to brief him. She turned her back on the holopad deactivated her saber and walked down the stairs.

I decided not to put the fight here. I'm going to make a sequel with it in it. And can Sidious keep his position? Find out in my next one it will be called Breakdown.
