Chapter 7 Clash

POV Qui-Gon Jinn

While in the Gungan throne room, Qui-Gon and ja-ja Binks convinced rugor NASS that He was in danger and that he needed Jedi protection. Suddenly, the doors of the throne room opened, and a figure, wrapped in a black cloak, appeared before the eyes of those present. Qui-Gon activated his lightsaber and the Gungan guards prepared to defend their leader. The figure threw off its cloak, and the zabrak stood before them with a two-bladed red lightsaber. The guards kept a respectful distance from him, and Qui-Gon stepped forward to take the fight.

"Ja-ja, take Boss NASS and the others," Qui – Gon said.

The zabrak attacked. Qui-Gon blocked his blows with ease, but the guards could not defend themselves from them, since several of them had already died in the course of this deadly battle. Because of this, they had to retreat so that their losses would not increase. In doing so, they gave the Jedi master free rein. The zabrak attacked as fiercely as he could, trying to throw Qui-Gon off balance, but the Jedi master not only parried the blows, but counterattacked as well. It seemed that this battle could last forever. But suddenly the zabrak used the force to push Qui-Gon off his feet. The Sith was about to jump and deliver a fatal blow, but suddenly flashed a blinding flash, and the next moment there were space Marines dressed in terminator armor, one of them stood close enough to the fence and struck his hammer directly into the chest of the Sith. The next several minutes Darth Maul helplessly lay on gender and choking on own blood, for order to stop his agony one of terminators licked, has dipped on its knees with one movement hands broke his a neck.

"The Primarch thanks you for your cooperation, Jedi master.

The space Marines disappeared as quickly as they had appeared and took the Sith's body with them. Boss NASS and ja-ja Binks returned to the throne room.

"Who were they?" Rugor NASS asked

"They're warriors from another galaxy, and they just ... saved our lives."

"I wonder why they did it."

"The Sith must have pissed them off."

"I hope the Gungans will never go against them, or we will be on the verge of annihilation."

"I hope so, Boss NASS."

POV the Emperor

The information the alpha Legion had gathered in the new galaxy was a pretty interesting read. The Emperor and the Primarchs studied history and recent events with great interest. It took them no more than a day to learn all the information. After that, an emergency Council was convened. A holographic link was established with Primarch Alpharius, since he himself could not attend the meeting.

"Father, brothers, I hope the data I have gathered has impressed you.

"You're absolutely right, Alpharius. This so-called "Power" is of great interest to the Adeptus Mechanicus and to the Thousand Sons. You did the right thing by ordering a vaccine against the microorganisms that spread it. But the theory that the people living there are descendants of colonists from the Dark Era of Technology is wrong. In my memory, humans have not sent any colonization ships to other galaxies intentionally.

"Then how did they get there?"

"I have a guess." Magnus Said. – In all the Eras before the Imperium, many ships have been lost in the warp, some have become part of the space Wanderers, others have been destroyed by the Immaterium waves, but there are those that have disappeared without a trace. What if the missing ships had been transported through time and space by the whims of the Warp?

"That makes sense, because the new galaxy has a Warp, too, despite being' less turbulent and populated.' Perturabo Said.

"Father, I propose a crusade to conquer this galaxy, and especially the human worlds. Every man must be a subject of the Imperium. Horus Lupercal Said.

"It is not expedient to begin the conquest at this moment. Our invasion may lead to the emergence and growth of rebel groups, which will require us to carry out repression and acts of terror. Said Robout Gilleman.

"So what do you suggest, brother?" asked Rogal Dorn.

- In my opinion, in the next 10 years, there may erupt a full-scale civil war, which will affect every world, every sentient being. When the parties to the conflict reach an impasse in the conflict, our armies will come to bring peace, order and security. We will not be conquerors and enslavers, we will be saviors and protectors. As for the xenos: protectorate or annihilation, they have only two options.

- Will do so, Robout. Alpharius, your reports speak of the Darth Sidious. I believe he poses an immediate threat to us. You must find and destroy him. The Emperor instructed.

"Your will will be done, Father. This wretched creature will soon have nowhere to hide from me. I will find him, and he will regret that he dared to go against us. – Answered Alpari.

"I adjourn this meeting."

POV Primarch Alpharius

It had been several days since the leader of the xenos Gungans had been attacked. The Legion's apothecaries performed an autopsy on the killer and scanned his brain to determine the identity of "Darth Sidious." In the xenos's mind, the image of his master was blurred, probably as a precaution. But it turned out that they had met on Coruscant before the xenos's death.

"My Lord, there are more than a trillion living beings on Coruscant, how do we find this Sith?" asked captain peck.

"We won't look for him, we'll just pass the information on to our new 'friends, '" Alpharius replied. "give the appropriate instructions to captain Scorr."

"Yes, my Lord."

POV captain Aution Scorr

Being on Coruscant, the captain became, in fact, the Ambassador of the Imperium in this galaxy. He was invited to various receptions by high-ranking officials. But he refused everyone, first because he was disgusted with them, and secondly, the angel Of death of the Emperor should not engage in posturing. But a new order from the Primarch demanded that they descend again to the surface of the planet and meet with those who were the real power in this galaxy. He was flying to The Jedi Temple to meet their Council again.

"Greetings, captain Scorr," master Windu said. – Let me thank you for saving Qui-Gon Jinn."

"You're welcome, masters. But I'm here on another matter, tasked with delivering a message to you that whoever was behind the actions of the Trade Federation, the blockade of Naboo, and the attack on the Jedi master qui - gon Jinn calls himself Darth Sidious and is now on Coruscant. My Lord asks for help in his capture and destruction. He suggested that you could use your "POWER" to do this.

"Captain, we'll need time. But we can't promise anything. Master Yoda replied.

"Please let me know when your search is over." – Answered Scorr.

When the captain left the Council chamber. Lively negotiations began among the masters.

"Are we going to believe him that the Sith Lord is hiding out here on Coruscant?" Jedi master Ki-ADI-Mundi asked indignantly

"The dark side is gaining strength and blinding us, and that our enemy is so close to us is quite possible. Yoda Replied. – In the link with force we must to join, to of our enemy find and catch.

Members Council the Jedi began to collective meditation, the only goal which was the search for lords of the Sith.

POV the Emperor

At the moment, there were only two people in the throne room of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor and his confidant, the High Lord of Terra Malcador.

"My Lord, what are your orders?" - High Lord asked.

- Start gathering forces for a new crusade in a new galaxy. The best regiments of the Imperial guard, the best units of the fleet, knight houses, special teams of the Inquisition and do not forget about the Adeptus Mechanicus. But none of the Primarchs must know.

"But why such secrecy, your Majesty?"

"If they find out ahead of time, I'll have to appoint a new Warmaster in advance, but I haven't decided on a final candidate yet." A rash choice can sow enmity between them. I want to avoid it.

"Your will will be done."

"I don't doubt it. That is why I have given you this task of the greatest importance.
