Chapter 10: Assassins Blade

" So… you are just…going to… kill me?" Asked Padmé out of breath for slamming into the stonewall.

" Sidious commands it, it happens, that's the way and Empire works."

" The do it."

" Wait, wait, there is more, you know I remember from when I was a Jedi marriage was strictly prohibited. You know this right?"

" Yes."

" And yet you still married the chosen one and ruining his future as a Jedi."

" If you are going to kill me do it now!"

" Let me just cut to the point. You know what happens when somebody gets married to a Jedi in this empire don't you?"

" They get lectured by a bit"

" Now, now dear no need for harsh language. And no that is not what happens. Instead they die!" Cried Xen raising one of her saber.

" No!" Luke cried standing up and calling on the force. Xen turned around as a wave of power hit her knocking her against the wall and she was rendered unconscious.

Luke ran up to him mother as she got up Leia shortly after.

" Thank you." Padmé said hugging Luke.

" Well dad taught me how. Do you think I can become a knight after this?"

" You're thirteen, from what your father has told me no one has ever risen to Jedi knight until the age of twenty."

" Mom, what should we do about her?"

" Leia call the guards."

" Okay." And soon after that the whole room was swarming with rebels. The woman was taken to the high security cell deep under ground.

Hours Later

Sidious sat at his desk waiting for Xen to call in. She never did, he had called Boba who had said she never came out of the temple. The logical reason was that she had been captured. It was defiantly time now, he could take an army to Yavin and defeat the rebels, and also get Xen back at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone, the old metaphor he had picked up somewhere on Naboo. Sidious called in one of his droid magna guards that he had confiscated after Grevious's death. Now they were his own.

" Guard."

" Yes sir?"

" Tell captain Kagi to prepare my shuttle, I'm leaving for the Death Star."

" As you wish."

Sidious was headed for the Death Star and so, he sensed, were Kenobi and Skywalker.
