Chapter VII – The Start of the Journey

I am so sorry for the long wait but I have been busy of late. Thank you for reading this story and again sorry of the wait.

With Dinner with the Emperor and his family over Anakin, Obi-wan and Padme went to their quarters. The next day Anakin, Obi-wan and Padme went to their ship to contact the Jedi Council and Chancellor about the new twist of the new friends.

Yoda: Talks how they go?

Obi-wan: Quite well, the Emperor is planning to come to Coruscant to sign the Treaty of the Alliance and there is a new development?

Mace Windu: What new development?

Anakin: The Emperor is not only the leader of an Empire but he is also any married father with 2 Sons and an daughter.

Mace Windu: What did you say? Are you sure of this?

Obi-wan: While Anakin and I were talking with the Emperor about the attack, the Emperor was looking at the Throne room doors and the shock on his face was told us an happy shock so we turned around and saw 3 teenagers and the Emperor ran to them and hugged of 3 of them. We were surprised and confused.

Yoda: impossible this is.

Anakin: why is it Impossible Master?

Mace Windu: this is strange indeed. An family of force sensitives is too dangerous to be left unchecked, normally they would fight each other for more power, but an whole family together no less is too unpredictable to be left unchecked. Anakin you must watch them and find an way to stop them, if possible.

Anakin: They are not our enemies they trust us.

Yoda: protect ourselves we must. Threat they are to our order they are.

Mace Windu: There is still Dooku's Sith Master out there The Emperor could be Dooku's Master. We must watch them; they trust you Anakin you must learn from them.

Anakin: The Emperor being Dooku's Master is the most stupidest thing I have ever hear. The state of shock on Dooku's face was of pure shock I even felt his shock thought the force when he revealed his force nature.

Mace Windu: Maybe we should reconsider having you young Skywalker representing us with the Empire's military.

Chancellor Palpatine: But you can't remove Master Skywalker, Master Jedi it was one of the conditions for the alliance.

Mace Windu: Chancellor, no a fence but this is an internal Jedi affair, if we decide not to have Skywalker representing us, he will not representing us.

Chancellor Palpatine: No offence but Master Windu this is an order Master Skywalker will be representing not just the Jedi but Anakin will be representing the Republic. (Said angrily)

Mace Windu: if that is your order Chancellor the Jedi will obey it.

Obi-wan: Anakin is right; the Emperor can't be Dooku's Master the shock on Dooku's face told us so as well as the Force. We mustn't be scarred of the New their arrival is willed by the force. (Said hopefully)

Chancellor Palpatine: Well said Master Kenobi. Now then how does the Emperor plan on coming to Coruscant?

Anakin: We don't know. But he is getting ready we may be leaving within 24 standard hours.

Chancellor Palpatine: The Emperor cannot bring his flagship the size of the ship could frighten the people.

Obi-wan: I agree but I think the ship is too damaged to go anywhere.

Chancellor Palpatine: can he repair his ship?

Anakin: Yes the planet now called Cartelin Prime is at 80% finished. Within the week the planet will be 100% armed and ready to support the Cartelin Empire's colony according from James Tastic.

Mace Windu: Who is this James Tastic?

Obi-wan: James Tastic is the Emperor's Personal adviser. Master Yoda this people can be an great asset and an great friend to end this war sooner.

Yoda: indeed powerful and strong they are. Caution is needed with our new friends.

Obi-wan and Anakin: yes Master Yoda

Chancellor Palpatine: Senator Amidala I want you to learn all you can about the Empire's way of law and politics and you will be their Senator.

Senator Amidala: I will learn more about them and their culture. They Senator will be the Emperor's Daughter Claire Cartelin.

Chancellor Palpatine: I want you to befriend her to help our relations with the Emperor and his People. Master Skywalker I want you to guard the Senator from all harm.

Anakin: Yes Sir I will protect her with my life.

Chancellor Palpatine: Great when you arrival this will be the start of our alliance with The Cartelin Empire.

Yoda: may the force be with us all.

End on holo – conference.

Anakin: Padme and I will be going with the Emperor while you Master go to the Resolute and we will be following.

Obi-wan: Good idea lets go and find out how they plan to get the Coruscant.

Meanwhile during the Conference with the Jedi Council and the Chancellor the Emperor, his family and his inner circle had their own discussion. (In front of an window overlooking the imperial Fleet landing on the planet below)

Alex: Why is Claire going to be the Empires Senator for the Republic Senate? Why not me or Cody?

Emperor Petra: Because Claire knows are law system and I needing both of you for the front lines and it will keep her away for the danger of the war.

Claire: Dad I can take care of myself. Plus it there will be more danger there then on the battle field. Politics is a war on its own.

Emperor Petra: I know that is why you are getting the Royal guard. I trust you Claire and I trust you my sons but I want, No I need Claire there to watch your new allies. Claire is better at the Politics then you two and you both are better at fight then Politics.

Alex: Another thing why are we being friends with the Jedi. I thought our mission was to …

Emperor Petra: I know what our mission was But after meditating for 5 months straight. The Force has told me that the Jedi's time is all most at an end and when that time comes we must steer them back on course.

Cody: What about the Empire and you would be the end of the Jedi?

Emperor Petra: The Empire will last as long as the cloud system is up and ready. I have seen the end of the Jedi and the new rise Power of the Sith.

Alex, Cody, Claire: THE SITH.

Alex: The Sith cannot, must not rule this Galaxy they are worst then the Jedi.

Cody: Plus we can't have another Sith Emperor the last time there was one we lost our original home-world.

Emperor Petra: I know my boys I know our history better then you. But the rise of the Sith is coming there is no stopping it that is what the Cloud System for.

General Gower: pardon me why lords and lady but who and what are these Sith?

Emperor Petra: The Sith are an Ancient race of force users that use the force for their own goals and for galactic conquest. There are greedy, selfish, and cruel and they mainly use the force to gain power.

Adviser James Tastic: what will happen to the Empire if the Jedi fall?

Emperor Petra: The Empire will survive we are stronger then the Jedi and the Sith. I can't see all the way into the future because there is a dark fog around the force. There is someone strong in the force using the force for dark purposes, he is powerful and hidden thought the force I can't see him but I know his name?

Alex: Who is the Sith Lord's name Father?

Emperor Petra: Darth Sidious. He is manipulating the galaxy to gain power. The war between the Republic and the Separatist is nothing more than a way for him to gain power. In this war we must be cautious and watch both our friends and our enemies. That is why we are being friend with the Jedi and the Republic. General what is happening with the Cloud System?

General Gower: The Cloud System is at half completion 3 world have been converted for mining resources and 3 more world for agriculture resources and at the moment we are converting 4 world for the population.

Emperor Petra: Good the Cloud System will be the Main Base for this galaxy. Cartelin Prime will just be the front of the colony.

Cody: what about Master Skywalker, what is so special about him.

Emperor Petra: Anakin Skywalker has untouched power that he doesn't know he has but someone else does and I believe that he is the key to this galaxy. If we can turn him to the Sidithen way the true path of the Force this Galaxy will be stabilized and balance will be restored.

Captain Wilson: Your Majesty, My Lords, My lady I am Sorry to interrupt But Master Skywalker and Senator Amidala is outside and wanting to see you Sire.

Emperor Petra: let them in we have just finished anyway. (He said as he walks to his throne to seat back into)

Captain Wilson walks back to the throne room's doors to let in Anakin and Padme

Captain Wilson: The Emperor can see you now Master Skywalker, Senator Amidala.

Anakin: Thank you Captain.

Emperor Petra: Welcome Master Skywalker, Senator Amidala; Great dinner we had last night.

Anakin: yes dinner last night was great. The Chancellor has asked us to ask you how do you plan on going to Coruscant?

Emperor Petra: Ah yes the trip to your home world. My flagship is too badly damaged to go anywhere at the moment. Anyway I planned to take my personal yacht with two frigates escorts and I would love to have you Master Skywalker and you as well Senator Amidala accompany me along for the ride to your home world.

Padme: we would love to accompany you to Coruscant. Is your family coming along?

Emperor Petra: yes both my sons and my daughter will be coming with us. General Gower you and James here will be in command while I am away. We will be leaving in two hours Master Skywalker, Senator can you meet me at my personal hanger bay.

Anakin: of course we will, but we just need help getting there. And if your ships follow our ship The Resolute we will get to Coruscant safely and just encase if you don't know your way to it.

Emperor Petra: sound like a plan. James can you be Master Skywalker and the Senator's guide to my hanger.

James Tastic: Yes Sire. Come master Jedi, Senator let's get ready for the trip.
