The stunned senators stared up in shock at a man thought to have been dead for the past five years.

"Honorable delegates, I know my appearance is shocking, you all having thought me to be dead, but what I am aboutt o say will hopefully open your eyes to the corruption that is right before your very eyes. I had been trained as a Sith and became the Sith Lord, Darth Maulus, but I have turned from the Darkside. It has permenantly effected me, for I am not a Jedi Master nor a Sith Lord. I'm a rouge, in the light and darksides of the Force. I give the Jedi and the Republic my support, but the Republic is under the control of the Sith."

The senators gasped.

"It is under the control of Darth Sidious, the one for whom the Jedi have been searching. He is in our midst even now!"

The senators spoke among one another for a moment and then looked back at Qui-Gon.

"If he is so powerful, so mighty, so fearless, let him reveal himself, let him come forth and reveal his true identity."

There was a pause.

Qui-Gon scanned the crowd and let his gaze rest of Palpatine.

Palpatine shifted slightly under the piercing gaze of Qui-Gon's green eyes.

"Chancellor Palpatine, I know truth. I know who the Sith Lord is. May I reveal him?"

Palpatine swallowed and forced his voice to work, sending up a quick, silent prayer that Qui-Gon thought the Sith Lord was one of the senators.

"You may."

Qui-Gon nodded in his head as a sign of thanks.

"The Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, is... you!"

He pointed to the Chancellor. and the senate room echoed with stunned gasps and murmurs.

"How dare you accuse me of such a horrible crime?! What proof do you have?!"

"You showed no surprise in my return. Then you were angry because your plans have been delayed, and then you were afraid because you know you can't beat me."

Palpatine glared at him.

"Silence!"

Qui-Gon knew he had to get Palpatine to lose his temper and snap.

"Now you are both angry and afraid. You're angry at the delay and afraid your identity will be revealed, ruining your plans."

"I said 'silence'!"

Qui-Gon resisted the urge to smirk. Palpatine had fallen right into his trap. Just a little more, and the truth would be revealed.

"You're becoming more angry. You've worked so long and hard for this, massacring hundreds, perhaps even thousands pf inoccent lives, only to have it all snatched away from you by your former apprentice!"

"Enough! As a Jedi, you are to bow and ask forgiveness!"

Just a bit more.

"I am not a Jedi! And I am not a Sith! I am a rouge, and never again will I ask for your forgiveness! Never again will I bow to you! You are not worthy of that! You're not even worthy enough to clean the 'freshers of the sacred Jedi Temple or this place!"

"ENOUGH!!!"

Qui-Gon just barely managed to duck as the Force lightning came at him. Once it stopped, he rose to see Darth Sidious with his lightsaber activated.

"How dare you?! You'd be dead if not for me!"

"I would rather have died than served the likes of you!"

Sidious attacked with an enraged yell, and Qui-Gon leaped to meet him. They clashed in midair.

The senators quickly evacuated.

Qui-Gon toyed with Sidious, dancing in and out of range. Then he struck out with lightning speed and stabbed Sidious in the heart.

"Fullfilled the prophecy is," Master Yoda said.

Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, and Mace Windu looked at him.

"How? Anakin did nothing."

Yoda shook his head.

"The Chosen One Skywalker is not. Revealed Qui-Gon's hidden destiny is. The Chosen One he is. Live what he has brought he does. Balance of the Force he lives just as he brings."
