Chapter 4: Five Kills One Reward
Sidious had killed Anakin Solo only ten minutes ago and already his window was repaired and Anakin's body was already cleared out. Sidious was in deep meditation now trying to see if any more jedi were planning to assassinate him. Then right when he was sure there was no more a red robed guard entered his office.
" My lord." The guard said kneeling. Sidious roared at him in anger even though he wasn't really angry for he had ceased his meditation only moments ago. Although every guard knew they were not supposed to interrupt him in meditation or unless it was an emergency but rules had to be enforced.
" Rise. Now get out!" Sidious roared in fake anger.
" But my lord the jedi have been found." The guard said in a tone that would have really angered Sidious if this was not the news.
" What! Which bounty hunter found them?" Sidious screeched.
" The one called Aak Calstir sir."
" Is he here?"
" Yes sir."
" Send him in."
The guard left and a few moments later a figure appeared in the doorway. He was a human dressed in similar armor that Jango Fett had used Sidious recalled. He also wore a cape with a hood over his head. Sidious also noticed several lightsabers clipped to his belt.
" You are Aak Calstir I presume." Said Sidious to Aak who had taken a seat in front of him without being invited.
" Yeah and I want my reward." Aak said.
" Of course you shall get it, but first the location of the jedi." Sidious said using a force command.
" No reward first of no deal." Aak said and added." And your stupid force tricks won't work on me."
" Fine." Sidious said scowling as he produced five chips from his pockets labeled 1000 Imperial credit. He handed them to Aak.
" Thank you sir, now the jedi are on Utapau." The hunter said. Sidious smiled.
" Are the five other hunters here?"
" Yes sir."
" Good bring them in." Sidious said. Aak left, Sidious pulled out five pairs of binders and ejected a camera for shooting holonet shows. Seconds later four men and one woman who were all humans entered the room followed by Aak and two red robed gaurds. When the condemned five reached his desk Sidious froze then with the force.
" Sir?" Aak asked. He most likely didn't know about Sidious's other reward. Since the bounty hunters had not found the jedi the would be killed.
" They didn't find the jedi, so I'm going to have fun by killing them." Sidious said simply. Aak nodded. "Then with a trick of the force the binders clipped themselves around the hunters wrists and Sidious made them fall to their knees. They all unfroze. The five looked around in confusion.
" Ha ha ha ha! You five shall now die via holonet." Sidious screeched in joy.
" What?" One of the hunters said.
" No one knew but I decided to execute the ones who failed live. To show that failing is not an option."
" That makes no sense all of us could not possibly find the jedi." The woman hunter cried in desperation. Sidious ignored this accurate judgment and turned the camera on as he stepped in front of it.
" People of this grand Empire I'm so very sorry to interrupt your normal programs but this wont take long." Sidious paused and smiled before going on. " The jedi have been found by the bounty hunter Aak Calstir! The remaining five shall now be executed right here as an example of what happens to those who fail."
And with that Sidious began to torture all five with force lightning. They all cursed Sidious and then their screams began to fill the homes of many in the galaxy.
Amra's Private Star ship
Darth Amra was in her quarters aboard the star destroyer used in the battle with the jedi almost a year ago. Her giant screen that was used to watch programs was now her screen showed five bounty hunters being tortured to death and just as quickly as it had started it ended. She got off her sofa to go into he private meditation chamber and just as she was at the door to that room a knock sounded from the entrance to this private suite Sidious had given her.
" Enter." She said walking back by her sofa. A thin imperial officer entered the room and said.
" Madam lord Sidious has sent orders for us to travel to Utapau to kill the jedi that are hiding there."
" Good set a course to Utapau, and officer address me as only Darth Amra there is no need to call me madam." Amra said as the officer left. She shut her door and entered her private meditation chamber. She began to meditate on what was to come.
