Chapter 6: Luke and Anakin find Bane
It had taken them two weeks but the unified forces of the Imperials, and the New Republic forces had been amassed under the command of The Scourge of the Sith, Luke Skywalker and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and they had found Bane on Dagabah, where Master Yoda had last lived.
"Are you sure he's here?" One Stormtrooper asked, and both Skywalkers turned to him.
"I know he's here, Commander. The Dark Side of the Force is much stronger here. Why is that?" Anakin asked.
"Master Yoda hid here for that simple reason. The Dark Side flows so easily here that your Order Sixty-Six didn't find him because he lived here on Dagabah. The Dark Side burns darker here because Darth Bane is here," Luke said. Anakin stared in surprise at the news of Yoda living here.
"Don't act so Surprised Lord Vader. Master Yoda was the oldest living Jedi Master ever," Spoke Palpatine as he walked slowly being surrounded by an attachment of soldiers.
"But why here?" Anakin said.
"Because I wanted to hide my presence before I plunge the New Republic into darkness," Bane said walking out of a nearby cave.
"Darth Bane! Do you know who I am," Palpatine asked. He threw down his cane that he had used to help him since his attack by Master Yoda all those years ago on Coruscant.
"Your the silly little Sith Lord who started an Empire that will be doomed to destruction," Bane said.
"I am Luke Skywalker, Darth Bane. We've been sent to stop you," Luke said.
"Kill him!" Palpatine said. Stormtroopers then began to fire on Darth Bane but yet the laser blasts didn't strike him as Dark Force Lightning struck the stormtroopers dead.
"Clearly you haven't met The Chosen One & The Scourge of the Sith," Palpatine guestured to both Skywalkers.
"Ah yes, the Chosen One. The One who would bring balance back to The Force. Do it. Kill me, if you can Lord Vader!" Bane said guesturing to Anakin. Anakin lit up his lightsaber. Bane through Force Lightning to the young Sith/Jedi but his lightsaber absorbed the lightning strike.
"I can kill you, Lord Bane!" Anakin said. Luke ignited his own lightsaber and cautiously walked forward as Lord Bane saw the two Skywalkers.
"Do it then, if you can!" Bane said. Luke stared at his father.
"Clearly he's crazy!" Luke said.
"Yeah so I noticed, my son!" Anakin said as he eyed his son.
"Take him!" Palpatine yelled, as Sith insanity over took him and he threw Force lightning toward Lord Bane but Bane absorbed it.
"Palpatine you may be more cunning then I am, but you have a Sith Empire and before I plunge the Universe into darkness, I will kill you and your apprentice and his son," Bane said as a twisted smile creeped across his face.
"Not a chance!" Luke said. Vader raised his Sith Lightsaber and Luke raised his green one. Bane threw Force Lightning at the two Jedi, but they blocked it back. They heard Bane scream at the sudden refusion of power.
"Decapitate him!" Palpatine screamed. Anakin used his Sith weapon and suddenly time swirled around them and "Anakin Skwalker" disappeared and Palpatine found himself back on Coruscant.
"Is it done, My Master?" Darth Vader said kneeling before him.
"Yes, My apprentice, it's done. I have another assignment for you, Lord Vader. I am sending you to a planet called Krypton. According to the archives, the Republic has been sending Jedi Knights to protect the planet as part of a partnership," Palpatine said. Lord Vader nodded and he went to a shuttle to have one of his men prepare it for him.
