Chapter 9: Untold Secrets and Revealed Identities
Over on the other side of the busy city of Coruscant, a private meeting was going on. But it was odd to have a meeting in the middle of the night, you'd think.
"Sit down young, Shang." Palpatine, Chancellor of the Republic, says. He was having a meeting with Fan Shang, as the Jedi had suggested.
She took a seat in front of his desk.
Palpatine smirked at her.
"Sir, why are you smiling like that?" Shang asks.
Her Master was acting different today. Yes you heard that right; Palaptine is Shang's Master; or if said correctly, Darth Sidious is Darth Vadis's Master. The truth behind Fan Shang is complicated and different. She lives two different lives, but one is fraud. She may be a Jedi, but her purpose is to serve the Sith. Shang is a Sith lored, apprentice to Sidious himself. Lord Vadis is her true identity. The reason she is a Sith remains a great mystery.
"Master, the Jedi believe Sidious is influencing the Senate through Palaptine." She finds talking to him like thius to be strange, since after all he is both people. How naïve could the Jedi be, she thought.
"They assigned me to speak your opinions to them. They believe…you need protection." Shang adds.
"The Jedi are so naïve. They have no intentions to believe I am Sidious. Good work, Lord Vadis," he says. His face is hidden from view through his dark, heavy robes and hood.
"Master, there are too many Jedi for us to deal with as a whole. What if the plan fails. I can't do all the work myself."
"Don't question me, my apprentice. We shall pick them off one-by-one then." Sidious says.
"Very good, my lord." Vadis says.
"I tried to turn another young Jedi, like yourself, to the Darkside; Anakin Skywalker. Stubborn he was. I have watched over him for years, ever since he arrived here many years ago. Anakin would have made an excellent Sith Lord. He kept many secrets and he married Padme Amidala, former Queen of my home planet. She gave birth to Anakin's offspring a few weeks ago, I believe. Twins. Babies strong in the Force, like their father." Sidious explains to his apprentice as she listens carefully.
"Skywalker should be the first." Vadis says.
"Ahh, the babies. I want you to bring me one of the Skywalker children. He will be a great asset to my pupil." Sidious says.
"Yes, Master. I will deliver the baby to you personally." Vadis says.
The two Sith lords, Master and Apprentice, sit there and plan how to take revenge on the unsuspecting Jedi Knights as the normal beings of Coruscant go on, unaware.
