Chapter 12: The Final Stand... Or is it

Upon their arrival on Coruscant, they began their descent into the heart of the darkness that filled the Galaxy in their last desperate attempt into freeing the Galaxy before the Empire gained too much strength. As their ship began to land on the landing pad, they were greeted by stormtroopers like they were waiting for their arrival but the troopers were not aiming at the ship, it seemed like both the Emperor and his apprentice told the soldiers to stand down and to bring them to the Emperor's Office or at least the elevator, as the group walked off the ship and they walked with stormtroopers acting like an escort the mixture of storm and death troopers gave off a vibe that could be felt. As they were waiting for a ride to get there so they could fly across to the senate building, a taxi arrived as the group got in and they made their departure to the senate building, only to hear an explosion in which the Empire had blown up the Sith's ship to make sure they had no escape. As Raven then said, "There go almost a million credits in upgrades." Obi-Wan then said "In the new republic we will all be worth more than a light freighter" as Raven said "We better be, we are risking not only our lives.. But my unborn child's life as well" as he puts his arm around Ahsoka. Then Windu said "What if that is the reason why the soldiers did not shoot at us, maybe the enemies know about that and they are trying to discuss a peace deal due to it" Then Yoda said "Over children, negotiate, That, the sith would never do" as Windu then said, "Don't know, maybe this is a change for them".

Darth Maul then said, "We wait to see what my former master has in mind for us, as of now.. May the force be with all of us in the final moments of the tyranny that rules the Galaxy, today is our last stand." as the ride arrived at the Galactic Building, as they got out only to be met by the Emperor's Guard, in which they escorted them to the elevator to the Emperor Office. As they arrived at the elevator as they walked in, as the guard stood outside and guarded the elevator to make sure no one got in now, it now seemed that their fate was being ensured by the heavy presence, as then Raven then said "On this day, we fight for the future of the Galaxy, the freedom of millions rest in our hands, We will not go quietly and we will not surrender without a fight. Today is a new day my friends. The day we defeat the old and begin the new generation" Kenobi nodded as the door opened as they walked out Palpatine was at his desk and Vader was standing next to Palpatine as Windu then said "Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader by the order of the New Republic you are both under arrest for numerous fucking crimes in the Galactic Republic". In which Palpatine then said "The force grows strong within all of you, I will negotiate first and then your fate will be sealed. I have three options for all of you, Option one you join us and you will forever be the most powerful figures in the new galactic empire and you will be wealthy. Option Two, you can duel the both of us and If you win, I can override the clones, and I and Vader will go in peacefully. Or Option three, you can walk out right now, and you won't stand a chance against our soldiers"

In which the group looked at each other and they began to hurdle to discuss the options they all grabbed their sabers as then Windu then said "Emperor Palpatine, you messed with the motherfucking Jedi for too long, now is an end to your terror" then they ignited as Palpatine and Vader ignited their sabers as Maul and Raven were going for Vader directly since he was the strongest leaving the Jedi with Palpatine. As they ran at the two, and the door to the elevator shut as they ran, the duel within the office would take place for an entire hour and thirty minutes when Maul sliced Vader's prosthetic arm off as it was a sign of the deterioration in the two Sith's fighting style and that be new Darth and Maul was more powerful than Sidious and Vader but this was apart of Sidious plan. Because he knew that if he could get the two to experience the true power of the dark side, then they would turn against their Jedi friends and their lovers, or try to convince them to join their cause, but this is what he believed doesn't mean it was true to the two sith themselves. Vader then said "The Dark Side is strong in the both of you" as Maul then said "Only to compete against the both of you" Raven then said "Yet it has deteriorated in you Vader" as the two kept fighting Vader, meanwhile with The four Jedi, they were fighting Sidious while Secura and Ahsoka sat on the sides due to their cargo. Eventually, Maul had cut both Vader's legs off again as Vader was on the ground Raven took the chance and helped the Jedi on Sidious which eventually Sidious was defeated as well, as Sidious then said "Well, well played all of you and a Deal is a deal" as Sidious handed over a data Holocron containing the override code that permanently disables Order 66 Without Hesitation, the Jedi used the Holocron.

Only for them to look back at where Sidious and Vader were at and they were gone, as the two sith then looked around as it seemed like they just vanished into thin air, which was hard since Palpatine had to carry Vader technically, but it didn't matter to them, as they began a broadcast throughout the galaxy including the Imperial Military as well as Raven then said "People of the Galaxy, the Galactic Empire has come to an end and the formation of the new Galactic Republic has taken form on this day, Emperor Palpatine resigned from his throne and in return, we will begin elections in the Senate to elect the General Secretary to the New Republic. Glory to the New Republic" as they ended the broadcast as Ahsoka went and hugged her husband as Raven hugged her back, Maul then said "So I have an announcement to make" only then for Secura to say "Yes". Maul then said "You didn't even" as Secura then said "I know what you're going to ask and I say yes" as Maul then said "Alright then, she said yes. Raven your my best man" Raven replied, "Alright then I will be". Yoda then said "To the Jedi temple, we must go" they nodded in agreement, and they all went to the temple now as they approached the temple as Obi-Wan then said "we have a lot of work to do to get the Jedi and the Sith into full numbers" as then Maul then said, "Instead of having separate temples, we should have this temple as the temple for both sides of the force".

Which Maul then said "Like what split it up a bit and have areas for specific topics in the force" Secura then said, "That might work actually, but we'll adapt it in slowly just to make sure". Maul nodded as the four went around the temple Raven found the vaults as he made his way into the vaults and he would eventually find the mask of Darth Mormin, as he then said "I have not seen this mask in god knows how long" he picks up the mask as then he felt like he could build a fortress for him and his wife on a planet with this mask itself. Raven looked around as he puts the mask into his robes he wanted to head to the remote planet of Hoth to build a fortress to build the fortress for the two so he could leave the Order eventually and live the rest of his life with his wife and child in peace and harmony. As he met up with the others as he then said "This will be a great start but we must find the next generation of force users and get them trained into the masters of our arts" Yoda then said, "There will be a meeting between the United Council, to discuss the future". Soon the shadows appeared as Darth Revan and Qui-Gonn Appeared as Qui-Gonn then said "Greetings, Jedi and Sith. We have returned to see what has occurred after our departure" as Raven replied "We have defeated the empire itself" which Revan replied, "They are not defeated, they will be back for a second chance and they will be stronger. Prepare for them".

Windu then said, "We are going to rebuild our order to prepare for the second match" Revan then said, "To rebuild the Sith, you must find apprentices to train to become Darths of the new order" Windu then said, "And for us to find padawans to rebuild the Jedi" as Revan nodded as Qui-Gonn then said, "We must depart now, unfortunately. Until the next time that we meet again". As the two disappeared now, as then Maul then said "Question is, who are the force sensitive's throughout the galaxy, we don't know because the holocrons were destroyed when the Empire attacked the old temple" Secura then said "Not Nessicarly before the attack I was moving the holocrons to a more secured location and.." She pulled out the holocrons now. Which Shaak Ti then said, "The list of every force-sensitive child in the entire galaxy" Yoda nodded a bit as Windu then said "Who will be going for the retrieval of them. We need at least thirty each for both sides" to which Secura then said, "I will go in favor for the Jedi" then Maul said, "I will go for the Sith". Both Maul and Secura would leave the planet of Coruscant to begin their search for the next generation of force wielders.
