Chapter Two: Darkened Plans
Dusk fell on the tiny valley that lay in between the two broad mountains located on the desolate planet of Byss. The stars were barely apparent in the sky and the sun had long disappeared behind the far out horizon. All creatures of the night had slowly lost their fear of the day and crawled out from under various crevices. One creature in particular watched from a balcony of the small cabin located on the far side of the valley. His eyes, yellow and burning, greeted the darkness with joy. Now was the time he could stand with no fear of the light's return. Tonight brought great things with the arrival of his 'friends'.
Darth Sidious, former Chancellor Palpatine, stood silently awaiting the arrival of his ally, Senator Brejik Nord of the Chiss system. Sidious' servant, Morbim Nadir, skulked around the cabin making sure everything was in order for his master. The insolent fool granted all ridiculous wishes that Palpatine could throw at him. At the age of forty-three, Morbim was ignorant and oblivious to his stupidity. Controlling him was….all too easy. Sidious needed the stupid oaf for his 'returning' plan to power. Morbim was useful for only a few things: being ridiculously stupid, having a lot of money, and having a lot of good connections in high places. Other then that…well…you get the point.
A knock at the cabin door stole the dark lord from his thoughts and back to reality.
"Master, I do believe Senator Nord is at the door." A small smirk appeared on the ugly face of Sidious as he looked at Morbim. He took a staggering step towards the short, pudgy man and spoke quietly, "Just get the door, Nadir. Leave the key by the table when you are done." Morbim smiled stupidly and unlocked the door. Stepping to the side, he let the pale senator in.
"It's been a long time Senator." The dark lord said letting his voice travel to Brejik's close-to-deaf ears. "Please take a seat, make yourself comfortable." Venom leached his voice, knitting its way into the heart of the foolish heart of his ally. False trust was needed from Nord for the plan to work. Persuasion and sweet talking was all that could bring the senator to his side. Not to mention a small amount of the Force's own use of mind control. They say the force can do terrible things to the mind; destroy your conscience, and confuse your entire identity. It's things like these that make me tear up. Beautiful.
"If we could get to the point, Sidious, I would like to get this done with. My time is not easily wasted." Brejik's irritated voice angered Sidious but he couldn't lose it now, he needed this arrogant nerfherder. Brejik took a seat at the rectangular table and sighed heavily, obviously agitated with the fact that he was here and not with his model fiancé.
"I assure you Senator, your time spent here will be handsomely rewarded." He put on his wicked smile and sat down at the head of the table. "To start things off, I have a request that this must be discreet. No family, friends, anyone; this must remain private. Understand?" He glanced around at his two counterparts as they nodded, continuing. "The Republic can not stand much longer. Skywalker can't keep the Jedi together. We must break this pathetic plan of unison apart. And that, my friends, is why I called you here."
"The next step for us is to draw fear from the highest. We place the right people in the right places, take the right things from certain people, we will make them cower behind the trees." Palpatine had a bright smile on his face as he looked around. Nord looked at him like he was crazy but Morbim nodded enthusiastically.
"What do you mean 'take the right things from certain people'?" Nord asked skeptically.
"Skywalker has a nephew from Organa Solo. To get them both we take the child who lies in between." He smirked evilly (A/N: U think of a better word! Lol.) around at them. His eyes dropped on Nord as the man seemed not at ease. "Is there…something wrong Nord?" The senator looked at him as if he was a foul smelling animal. "My lord, this does not make sense. How does this help us at all?"
"Nord I am disappointed in you. I would have thought with your great intelligence you could have put this together. I assumed wrong." The dark lord glared at the wide-eyed senator and continued. "The affects of the kidnap will hurt not only the child's family but the Senate itself. With Organa-Solo in deep distress who can show them the way? She is the prime representative in keeping the peace. If she's gone the Senate falls into an uproar." A hesitant nod came from Nord as he stared at the table.
"And on the other side of the Republic, the Jedi will falter as Skywalker goes in search for his beloved nephew. In simple terms: we rip the Republic into pieces by affecting its leaders." Sidious looked towards the door as it opened slowly.
A dark figured appeared in the doorway. From the muscular build they knew it was a man. As he stepped into the light illuminating the cabin his dark hair and eyes became noticeable. He wore a jet black cloak, with similar colored boots and a gray-silver colored shirt. His eyes scanned the room and fell upon the dark lord.
"My lord, I apologize for being late." Sidious nodded and spoke to the others, "My friends this is Eraden Varkell." Morbim and Brejik nodded in acknowledgment. "Varkell this is my assistant Morbim Nadir," he pointed to Morbim who sat nervously at the table on Brejik's right, "and over here is Senator Brejik Nord of the Chiss system."
Eraden took a seat close to Sidious and pulled out a holofile. "My lord I have all the shift times for the guards as Organa-Solo's apartment. Taking the kid will be simple." A small smile crept on the lord's list as he heard this.
"Very good. Then you will be able to kidnap him in three days?" A stunned Varkell almost choked on the wine that he had been drinking. "But my lord…that's….too.."
"Perfect. You're a bounty hunter Varkell, act like it. I want that child here by the fourth day." Sidious glared at the surprised bounty hunter as he nodded lightly. "And you senator. The Republic would like to see your performance soon. When Varkell kidnaps the boy, you will demand a vote of no confidence in Associate Planetary Representative (A/N: this is what Jar Jar Binks is in Ep.2) Kade Wyath." The senator stared immobilized before wisely nodding.
"The Senate will question my motives, my lord. How shall I answer?" Nord asked shakily.
"His leadership has been unpromising from the beginning. Tell them you know not of his motives and whether they're for the greater good or not. And then ask them if they know how trustworthy this man is. They'll eat it out of your hands." The dark lord answered swiftly. Nord smiled grimly and nodded.
"And if all goes to plan, the galaxy will once again be ours." Sidious said darkly. Or alas, it will be mine.
