Chapter 16 The Sith Lords
" Yes very surprised." Luke said walking down the ramp Mara flanking him. He was keeping his cool even though he was utterly shocked." And who is that?"
" Luke Skywalker meet Darth Revan." Sidious sneered. That name rung a bell. Everyone knew it, that name had made history. Darth Revan had led the Sith wars against the Republic a thousand years ago." You should thank him. He told me of this place."
" Impossible Revan died centuries ago!" Luke blurted out.
" I resurrected him with the scepter of Marka Ragnos."
" Alright but then how did you…"
" It wasn't me Vader killed you stupid Jedi! I have the gift of foresight and I saw what was coming so I sent my clone."
" Impossible how was your clone able to"
" Use the force? Naturally since he had my DNA he was force sensitive and I trained him."
" But his look."
" His deformed look, oh yes. It is amazing what a little make up and prosthetics can do. Along with a trick of the force to give him my exact presence."
" You had that really well thought out then didn't you?" Mara asked mockingly.
" Quite so Mrs. Skywalker. I must say Anakin had a good taste for women and it appears Luke share that to."
" Don't you dare talk about my mother you hideous tyrant!" Luke cried in anger.
" Padmé Amidala was my successor as Senator of Naboo when I became Chancellor, I will talk about her when it pleases me." Sidious said.
" Enough of this Lord Sidious. Let us just kill these insignificant little Jedi and get on with the battle." Revan spoke for the first time. His voice was like cold venom.
Luke activated his lightsaber. Mara and the two Sith did as well. There was no contest all knew Luke was going to fight Sidious, so Mara ran at Revan and their fight broke out. Luke stalked around Sidious.
" How fortunate am I to cause the death of another Skywalker. Especially my old apprentice's son. This is an honor."
" Yeah for me to kill you." Luke struck and his blow was parried. Sidious then raised his hand. Luke knew what was coming and had already anticipated it. He leaped out of the way as a wave of Sith lightning struck a computer counsel and caused it to explode. Sidious growled and cut at Luke. Luke parried each blow with ease.
" I am going to kill you Emperor!"
Revan Struck down hard at Mara's head. He was a lot taller than she and that counted for something. Although it could be a weakness. Mara brought her saber up and met the blow the she kicked him in the groin. Nothing happened. He must have been wearing armor, chuckling he broke the saber connection.
Mara struck again Revan parried with an uppercut. This was going to take a while.
Sidious was pretty fast but Luke didn't have much trouble parrying his blows. The trouble was Sidious parrying his blows. Their fight had led them up onto the deck by the window. Outside dogfights could be seen and capitol ships under fire. The red and green whirlwinds clashing and dancing around could be seen outside too.
Sidious struck once more at Luke's head he parried and came around with a slash that nearly decapitated Sidious. Growling in anger Sidious called upon the force and pushed Luke to the other side of the platform. He crashed into a counsel shattering it. Pain flared up his back he couldn't get up, this was the end.
Mara struck at Revan's lower abdomen, he didn't see it coming and the lower half of his body separated from the upper and both fell with a muffled bang. Mara glanced at Sidious he was walking towards Luke who was hurt. Bad. She jumped behind Sidious but before she could strike a blood red lightsaber crashed through her stomach darkening her world. She fell down while she blacked out.
" MARA!" Luke cried. Sidious laughed over the fallen woman. Luke quickly tapped into the force. She was just barley clinging to life. The thought of saving her vanished the pain it gave Luke new strength and he jumped at Sidious.
" One Skywalker down one the AHHHH!" Sidious screeched as a forest green saber stabbed into his back.
" No more living for you my lord." Luke said as Sidious fell. He ran up to Mara she was barley breathing her pulse was slowing. He knew a trick and it would last only for a while. Using the force he tried to preserve the speck of life left in her. A feeble attempt but it worked poorly. He didn't have much time. He picked her up and ran out of the room.
Hanger Bay Sith Capitol Ship
Kyle was tired of it. Grevious was going to die. He had taken a shuttle and a small strike team and landed in the small escape hanger by the bridge. He and his five member team exited the ship and entered the bridge hall. To the left they could see the door and they ran to it. It opened before them and there stood Grevious flanked by two Sith.
" Welcome Jedi." Grevious said producing four lightsabers and and splitting his arms in half." To your funeral."
He struck at Kyle with two sabers and the other two he used to stab the two Jedi that ran up to him. His Sith guards went for the remaining three. Now Kyle had only one saber to use against four.
The General struck often not letting Kyle on the offensive. But after striking the General spun and Kyle saw an opportunity. Using the force to guide him he cut of two of Grevious's hand. The General made an incoherent grumbling noise and whacked Kyle in the face with the butt of one of his saber hilts. Kyle fell back holding his bloody nose. The two Sith had been defeated and there was one Jedi left. He came the Kyle's rescue.
Leaping fast at Grevious he drove his saber right into the General's face. There was a loud metallic screech and the General fell over his eyes burned away and his brain with a hole in it. Kyle stood up.
" Thanks." He said. The Jedi nodded. Both walked onto the bridge and killed every dorid crew member. Kyle rushed to the comm. and sent out an international message to all ships in the area.
" Attention I Kyle Katarn have conquered the enemy flagship and General Grevious is dead. All droids and Sith are to surrender immediately. Drop your weapons shut down your engines and wait for boarding parties to arrive or tractor beams to take you in." Kyle said and he cut it off fast. No sooner had he turned than an image sprang up of the Wedge Antillies.
" Wedge?" Kyle asked sensing something wrong.
" You better get to the med bay on our capitol ship, Mara is dieing." Kyle nodded and rushed to his shuttle. His Jedi comrade stayed behind to guard the ship.
I know so sad, so sad. Mara isn't dead yet there is still hope right? And that dose not mean she is going to live nor dose it mean she is going to live.
