Grievous’s Revenge

by McJedi102

General Grievous survives his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi. When he realizes that the Clone Wars are over, and the Empire is on the rise, Grievous must work with the Jedi who almost killed him to fight the Empire, and overthrow Emperor Palpatine, or as Grievous knows him, Darth Sidious. But he must face the Imperial Navy, and the new Sith, Darth Vader, before he can get revenge...

4. Chapter Four

Bail Organa walks into the Senate building on Coruscant. He had arrived on the city planet merely a few hours ago, hearing of the emergency Senate meeting. He couldn't help but wonder why there was a second one so soon after the declaration that the Republic was now an Empire. As Bail enters his Senate Pod, he furrows his brow, looking up at Palpatine. He was one of the few who knew that he was a Sith. One of the few knew that the Galaxy was being manipulated by this evil man.

And he couldn't do a thing.

Bail is snapped out of his thoughts as the oh so glorious Emperor Palpatine stands, and begins to speak. "Esteemed members of the Imperial Senate! I have distressing news. In the last twenty-four hours, we were under the impression that the CIS has been defeated. The feared General Grievous was executed, and we stopped the Jedi Coup." He pauses for a moment, most likely going for a dramatic effect. Bail knows what Palpatine is going to say next. After all, he had been involved, though not how Palpatine would describe. "It would seem that General Grievous is still alive, and in league with Jedi Criminals."

Almost immediately after Palpatine says this, the Senate erupts into chaos. Bail doesn't say anything as he looks up towards Palpatine. He's sure it's his imagination, as it's not possible for him to see Palpatine's face from here, but he thinks he sees an expression of triumph upon the Emperor's face. Mas Amedda, almost as if on cue, slams his staff down, and shouts, "Order! Order!" The Senate quiets down, and Palpatine raises his hands. "Esteemed members of the Senate, it would seem that we are still at war. But I assure you that I will do everything in my power to bring these criminals to justice! We will end this threat to our new Empire, and make the Galaxy safe and secure, once and for all!"

The Senate erupts into loud cheers and applause, while Bail just shakes his head and sighs. He really isn't that surprised by the reaction. He stands, and walks out of his Senate pod, heading down the hall. As he walks, he notices a figure waiting for him at the end of the hall. Mon Mothma. He closes his eyes, bracing himself. Mothma walks up to him, a stern look on her face. 'Oh no...'
