After reading this, you'll probably want to read the next chapter, which is the last one. I will tried to get up fast as I can. But I first I got to rewite out so I can type it out. Part of it was written around midnight, listening to Alice in Chains. So handwriting looks a little mess up. Plus a few things need to be added too.
And yes, I did throughly enjoy writing the ending of this chapter.
Enjoy!
Chapter 2- Redemption
The Force echos back silence.
Shifting all to shattered more,
as it curves more to darkness.
The circle, never can be straighten.
Ends always find the ends, sealing fates.
"Leia Amidala that is one interesting tale you just told. Hopefully it doesn't become true." said Master Windu, leaning back into his chair. "The Jedi Order has no intention of overthrowing the Senate"
"True, True. Jedi way, that is not"Yoda added.
"Never less, the Jedi Order did just that Two days later, the Temple was attacked and the remaining Jedis were banished to a prison colony. My Father escaped that fate because he walked away from the Order during the Clones Wars. Unfortunely, my Father was force to go into hiding. Sadly two months later, Father was killed when pirates attacked his freighter."Leia explained, enjoying her lying.
"What about your Mother?" Master Shaak Ti inquired.
"After my Father's death, she traveled to Alderaan to give birth to me and she left there too. I was adopted by the Amidala's. I didn't know I was adopted until last year when my other mother died. Thank the Gods. She left a letter explaining everything. Because I'm a Senator with Alderaan, I was able to gain access to the ruins of the Jedi Temple. I was planning only to look for information on my Father, not to do some time traveling." Leia said, looking out the window.
"Leia, I'm curious. Have you had any training in the use of the Force?"Master Fitso asked."Couldn't help noticing how strong you are?"
"No I was discouraged from using the Force. As the saying goes, don't use it, you'll lose it. There's not too many Jedis left now. The ones that are still left have no intention of reviving the Order. Too many lives were destroyed becomes of this Order actions."
"Not allow, this event should be. Causing this, Who? Must find out!" Yoda asked, looking at the council member's faces.
"Leia, names must be spoken."
Leia thought for a moment, as she tried remembered names of old Jedi's
"Oh well, let's pin this on Old Ben and Mr. Stone Face sitting in front of me " then said aloud.
"According to history, it was Master Kenobi and you, Master Windu. History reports, that it was you two that cause the Republic to collapse."
"I swear on the Force. I would never try to overthrow the Senate. Sounds like the Sith Lord instead. "Mace declared, shock to hear his name mention.
"Future, are many paths and can be rewritten too. Never less, something happened"Shaak-Ti remarked, then noticing Leia constantly staring at Coruscant's skyline.
"Leia, clearly you have found this year Coruscant interesting?"
"Yes, it is so different from my Coruscant. Actually I was thinking about my Mother. She worked for a senator. That's how she met my Father. The building is gone now, just a memorial to all those who were lost that day." she softly answered.
"Ah Master Norish, what have you found?" Master Plo asked, when she enter the chamber.
"I found nothing on Jedi Knight Cade Naberrie. I think the name is a pseudonym her Father took after leaving the Order. Also Leia, I search for your mother. Sorry, I found nothing too. The only thing left, is to do a DNA profile."
"Guess my parents are still protecting me. By the time I was born, it was still dangerous to be associate with the Jedi Order. The only proof I have that my Father was a Jedi, is his lightsaber and his padawan braid. Also a few stories from the older Jedi's, my Father was a bit of a hellraiser in the pilot seat."
"Well, we won't force you to take a DNA test. Like you said, you were only trying find information on your Father, not planning to do some time traveling. However, if you change your mind, let me know." Master Allie offered.
"Can I leave the Temple? I would like to see the Senate building. My aunt used to tell me stories about it. Aunt Dega spent a year working as an intern there. Maybe she talked to my Mother."Leia asked, hoping for a yes answer.
"I see no reason to confine you to the Temple." said Mace. Who knows, maybe you'll see your mother. I advise you not to talk to her."
"I have no plans to talk to her. Beside, clearly she too went by other name. " Leia carefully replied, hiding her excitement and hiding her plans too.
"Go. Go. Council must seek this future"Yoda said, dismissing her.
It was only when Leia stepped into the Senate building, could she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, some things never change in this crazy building. All the plotting and the backstabbing. Gee, sorry to reports Senators. I'm going screw up your day and I'm going to enjoy it too."
Then Leia caught a glimpse of her other Father. Who was talking to Mon Mothma and few other senators
"Father, I wish I could tell so many things but I won't. May you adopt a more worthy daughter."
Quickly Leia pulled herself away from other Father and walk to one the alcoves, leading to the Senate's Chamber. Again she reached into the Force to sense her Father, nothing.
"Excuse me, do you know when Chancellor Palpatine will be speaking?"Leia asked one the people there.
"He's coming up right now." the man replied, pointing to the Chancellor's podium as it rose up with Palpatine and his staff.
"Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing him." she said, stepping closer to the railing.
"That's it Palpatine, come up you. I'll let you talk first, then it's my turn to play Sith. Oh I have a plan for you." she said quietly.
"What was that?" the man asked, looking at Leia strangely
"Oh nothing, I was joking. Palpatine looks like my crazy brother George."
Leia lean against the wall, listening to the monster as he spoke. At the same time, she was slowly drawing more of the Force in.
An hour later, Leia made her move.
Reaching into the full power of the Force, Leia reached out and simple grabbed Palpatine by his throat. When it was fully in her grip,
Leia simple snapped his neck like a twig and giggled when she felt it.
By then, pandemonium broke out along with screams of all those who witness it.
"Honestly Republic, I just did you a big favor. Oh well." she thought as she walked out. Giggling again, she didn't notice the man, who now was reaching for his comlink to call security.
She only took a couple steps before running into Master Windu, who came to talk to one the senators.
"Leia there you are. Return to the Temple at once. But first, is this how it started?"
"No, it was a bomb that the Jedi planted in his office."
"Thank You. I better search his office. Clearly I felt a dark disturbance in the Force. Now go!" Mace ordered.
"Thank Your Luke for the lessons on how too altered your Force signature. Now, onto dear old Dad."
Leia made her back to the Temple just in time. From her corner of her eye, she spotted a pair of starfighters coming in.
"Oh good, here comes Kenobi and Skywalker." one the nearby Jedi remarked.
Leia carefully walked through the hanger to where they had landed. Watching Anakin as he climbed down from his starfighter and then started to walk towards her. Stepping behind a blue cargo container, pulling herself out the Force slightly, Leila waited until Anakin slightly walked past her. Then using the Force, she took his lightsaber from him
and simple took his head off.
