Originally I never had this one planed, so it will be short, also the reason I am doing this is to show more of Xen and this will tie into an event that happens next.
Chapter 8: Sith and Assassin
Sidious strode down the incredibly hot hallway that led into the few holding cells. The plan for these was established at the thought of capturing Palpatine, which ironically was Sidious himself. It didn't matter now though, what mattered was taking care of this woman one way or another and then proceeding with killing the Jedi and taking over the Republic. And then once the clones were on his side the Jedi would easily be wiped out and Sidious's new Empire would come to exist.
He reached the door and it opened. The woman sat on the cold hard bench at the opposite side of the door still in her leather outfit.
" Hello Sidious." She sneered.
" Greetings… Xen, isn't it?"
" Didn't I already tell you that you stupid man? Yes that's what it is, like I said I dropped my name long ago. Now are you here to kill me, torture me, make me suffer what?
" I am here to find out about you."
" Really? Hell my life is a dark book that I am just gonna let you open up, where should I start, hmm lets see, nowhere I am not telling you anything!"
" Really? Mmm, well lets see, who is in control here… oh yes ME! And who is asking the question? ME! And who is going to answer?"
" No one."
" Alright well maybe if I offered to train you in the Sith ways you seem so interested in then you would tell me."
" Ha, yeah right, listen old man I know enough about the Sith to know this is a trick."
" Oh really, then how about we start now?"
" Okay."
" Lets me start with what I tell all I train. Use your anger, it makes you stronger gives you focus. Although that is not what the Jedi say it is the true way, Sith do not fear the dark side, we embrace it and that is what makes us powerful."
" I'm not convinced. I need some visual aid."
" Fine." Sidious stated and then began to shock her with Sith lightning, he stopped when she screamed." And you can learn to do that as well but you have to tell me something about yourself."
" Alright, well lets see. I dropped out of the order long ago, when the chosen one came to the temple. I hated him and the Jedi embraced him with open arms, you see one of my closest friends practiced the teachings of the Sith somewhat… er… he called himself Count Dooku. He was still a Jedi and interested in the Sith. He told me many things when I was a knight. And when I became a master I dropped away. I sank myself into Sith beliefs, I wanted the chosen one to die. But sadly I never got the opportunity. I wanted to wait for Dooku because I knew someday he would leave, but it never came, so I joined the bounty hunters guild in order to kill and become more in tune with the dark side. And just a while ago I heard about you the Sith, so I came to hunt you down."
" Why?"
" I'm not sure. I thought I wanted to join you, and I think I still do, but I also wanted to kill you so I could become the master."
" Ah, you are more Sith than I had imagined. And do you still want to learn?"
" I don't know? What is your angle?"
" I need help, I want the Republic crushed. I want to establish an Empire under Sith reign and to annihilate the Jedi, I need help. And in turn to you I will teach you the true ways of the Sith and I will let you help me destroy the chosen one from inside out."
" Interesting offer. I… accept… master."
" Good, good, Xen…."
" I have no last name."
" Alright, Xen you are now one with the order of the ancient Sith Lords, henceforth you shall be know as"
" Xen."
" What? But it is customary to give you the title Darth."
" I really don't care about that bantha crap, I will be known as Xen or I will not join."
" Fine, come with me Xen, I will give you your weapons and fill you in on my plan and what is going on, then your training shall begin.
Well this chapter is not as short as I thought.
