Chapter 2

On the peaceful planet of Naboo, the sun was barely rising on a day that would soon be known as The Doom Day to the Republic. Senator Jar Jar Binks had been up for sometime now. He had received the call notifying him that his newly elected Republic Officer had been seriously wounded on a diplomatic mission to Kamino and that the Jedi Master for Naboo had gone missing, most likely dead. But when he had received the phone call notifying him of all of this, his comlink picked up another person's call, too. He heard of a plan, a plan that would change the republic forever…a plan that could possibly paralyze the republic forever.

Jar Jar didn't want to use the comlink to call his security staff about what he overheard because he didn't want his call being heard by the enemies. Jar Jar was running down the hallway looking for his security personnel, when he finally spotted his most trusted officer, Lando Calrissian.

"Lando, you must notify Le…," said Jar Jar, barely able to start the sentence, when a loud bang hit the window next to him. Jar Jar barely had time to notice that the bang was caused by a laser blast, when it hit him in the head.

Jar Jar Binks was dead before he hit the floor.

Lando Calrissian couldn't believe what he just saw. The senator, that he was supposed to be protecting, was just assassinated in front of him. Lando's brain seemed to shut down and it was a miracle that when the second laser blast went through the window, he was able to dodge it and take cover.

Lando grabbed his comlink and called, "I need support and medical aid up here as soon as possible. The VIP has been take out, repeat, take out. I am taking fire from an adjacent building where it appears a sniper is at. Over."

A voice replied, "Support and Aid is on there way. We will be there to support you in two minutes. Over."

"Are you joking? I don't have two minutes. I don't even think I have one minute. Over."

"We will be up there A.S.A.P. Over."

On the planet of Coruscant, Lucas Lane, the most trusted of Leia Organa's servants, takes a package to the Central Hover Platform of the Senate. Lucas looks around really quickly to make sure nobody is in the room with him and opens the package.

A voice suddenly startled him, but it was only the automated intercom saying, "15 minutes till the Senate hearing will restart."

A smile came across Lucas's face.

Assistance finally arrived for Lando, after leaving him to wait three minutes to take cover from the ongoing assault from some bastard across the street, who was one hell of a sharp-shooter.

"I think this shooter is in the Jedi Memorial on the third floor, second window," said Lando, commanding his support soldiers to begin shooting at the window.

"Sir, we have to stop…we think this assassin has taken hostages and have them in the room with him," said one of Lando's soldiers.

"Okay…than I order you all to get into counter position and we're going to have to storm the Memorial, so we can take this bastard out, once and for all," commanded Lando.

On the planet of Coruscant, Lucas Lane has his comlink out and is speaking quietly to Palpatine, on the other line.

"It is done, my lord. After this, the senate will crumple and the Republic will finally die for good this time," said Lucas.

"Good. Have you ran to any complications, my son," said Palpatine.

"One, my lord. A call between me and number 47 was overheard, but 47 has taken care of the creature that overheard it."

"Good. Soon we will reveal to the galaxy that the Sith still survived. That the groundwork our forefathers Darth Revan and Darth Malik laid down for us can never go away and that no matter how you try to kill evil…evil always will suffice in the galaxy of man."

The intercom voice came on yet again and said, "Senate will resume in 5 minutes."

"I must go, my lord. I must get ready for my toughest trial yet," said Lucas.

"It will be your toughest trial, and when it is over, Lord Malik will met you in the after life and give you rewards beyond your wildest thoughts. God speed, my son," said Palpatine, hanging up on the comlink.

Lucas walks down the hallway, thinking of what rewards will meet him in the after life.

The situation in the Memorial had gone from bad to worst for Lando. Two of his men had been taken out by the assassin and 3 of the hostages had been killed. Lando saw the bodies of two of the hostages. It was a woman and her daughter. Lando thought of his own wife and daughter, and what might have happened to them if they had visited the Memorial today like they were planning to. What if they were killed by this psychopath? The rest of what Lando did was easy.

Lucas Lane walked up to the Central Hover Platform and took a seat next to Leia Organa. Lucas was grabbing a detonator in his robe's pocket. Almost time…

Lando ran down the hallway of the Memorial to the now fatally wounded assassin. He had to blaster wounds in his left lung…he was going to die soon…so he better get the information out of him soon. He noticed the assassin bared a striking resemblance to an old Jedi Master Mace Windu, but he didn't care who he looked like he needed the information now.

"Do you know who you assassinated," shouted Lando.

"Yes…the Naboo senator, Jar Jar Binks," said the dieing assassin.

"Why did you kill him?"

"Because he heard something that he shouldn't of."

"What did he hear?"

"Our plan to assassinate Surpreme Chancellor Organa."

"WHAT!"

"You heard me correctly…you are out of time…you can't save her…she's probably already dead."

Lando grabbed his comlink and called his commanding officer, "Sir…notify Organa's security support to get her down into her emergency bunker right away!"

The assassin's last words were, "Order 66 was only the beginning."

The Central Hover Platform was raised to its maximum height when Leia's security officer got a call from a Naboo Commander, "Code Red...Repeat…Code Red."

"Ms. Organa…we need to get you to your bunker right away," said the officer.

Lucas realized that he was out of time and needed to act. He got up grabbed the microphone on the Hover Platform and shouted, "Long live the Empire!"

With that he pressed the red button on the detonator.

BOOM!
