Chapter XXVII

Cloning Facility, Daea System

Anus finished deactivating the safety protocols on the device and allowed her long blonde hair to be swept behind her back with the Force. The last Sith in the galaxy, now the Sith Master as Sidious was deceased she held much power in her hands.

"Master?" she whispered as she walked over to the now open chamber where the cloned body of Palpatine lay.

The figure looked much like his body did before his fight with Jedi Master Windu and finally Anakin Skywalker, how the Jedi Knight could actually defeat her master she still could not come to terms.

Anus used the Force to pull the Force into the body, allowing her energies to call her master's presence before her. The face of Palpatine began to twitch and finally his eyes snapped open.

Palpatine, Darth Sidious rose again.

Sidious now reclaimed his title as master, "Rise my apprentice," he said softly at Anus' loyal bow, "we have much to do now with the rise of the Death Seekers,"

Anus looked surprised, "Master, how did you know of the Death Seekers?"

Sidious smiled, "In the Force there is much that one can do," he said with a grin, "and I have seen much of the galaxy in my time as one with the Force, seeing many Jedi Knights that have also been trapped as Force Spirits, as well as many powerful Sith Masters such as Traya herself," he was quiet for a while, "even Master Qui-Gon Jinn has been doing much,"

Anus frowned and her beautiful twenty three year old eyes showed confusion, "what do you speak of Master? And how will we face this new menace along with the Jedi?"

Sidious turned to walk outward and turned to face her, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," he was silent for a moment as he thought, "hmm, if the Death Seekers are victorious in their fight with the Jedi then we will have to face them in the end, however if the Jedi win…we can easily defeat them at a later time,"

"So we will align ourselves with Jedi?" Anus practically spat the word.

"Yes," replied Sidious, "we will ally ourselves with the Jedi, and when the Jedi and the Republic are victorious we shall rip their victory from their bosom and the Sith shall rule the galaxy,"

"Certainly master," whispered Anus.

"The Death Seekers are a great threat to us, and our dominance of the galaxy is dependant on the victory of the Jedi Order," continued Sidious thoughtfully, "mmm, now it is time to formally dissolve the code of two Sith at a time, now it is time to bring about the rebirth of the Sith Empire,"

"And it will be built upon the foundation of those that have fallen to the darkness," said Sidious, and built upon your blood Anus.
