Chapter 2: Enter Lord Sidious

"Lord Maul," said the evil Lord Sidious. "Who is the one that you brought with you?"

"Master, she is a 13 year-old girl that wishes to speak to you."

"And why did you decide to bring her here and waste my time, instead of just killing her and getting it over with?"

" I couldn't, Master. I must admit that this girl is stronger than myself."

"What did you just say?" Sidious's voice was so calm and cold that it was scary.

"Master, please-"

"I have told you time and time again, you are worth absolutely nothing to me, except for as a tool. If my tools aren't the best, I shall get rid of them and get new tools."

Lord Sidious raised his hands and began shooting lightning bolts from his fingers. Maul braced himself for the feel of electricity going through every organ in his body.

It never came.

The lightning stopped about an inch away from Lord Maul, flowed around him and went past, flowing into, and having no effect on, Cyber who had appeared at the door.

"Who dares to disturb me?" thundered Darth Sidious.

"Me."

"Oh no, not you. Convenient rescues of stupid teenagers wasn't your style last time I saw you."

"Last time you saw me, I was still into tearing apart dolls. Anyway, Mom kicked me out about a month ago, apparently I am old enough to live on my own, and she had mentioned you, so I decided to come here. The reason I chose Maul was because Mom had suggested that you, and said that you had left for Coruscant as soon as you could, so I decided to begin my search here. All I needed was a ride. I had decided to go with Maul because he was the first off-worlder who wasn't selling slaves. As luck would have it, he just happened to be your apprentice."

After some silence, Darth Sidious said, "So, why should we keep you, instead of killing you outright?"

"Because you might find some use for me."

"Maul, take her to a room."

"Yes, Master. Come," he said to Cyber.

And so her training began.

After about a year, Lord Sidious called both Darth Maul and Cyber to him.

"There is trouble among the Neimoidians. Many of them are beginning to question whether or not they should follow through on their contract.

Maul, you know what to do. Your target is the leader of the rebels, Art Mer. There is more information in the data banks of your ship."

"Yes, master," they said.

They walked to the ship and left for Neimoidia immediately.
