I have brought peace and prosperity to my new empire
summons a lightsaber and ignites it Like what you see?
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
You little... ignites a second saber and charges at Grundyne
Come here, Anakin, my love~ I kiss him deeply How is Mara?
Shut up and fight me, you bastard! lunges at Grundyne with both sabers swinging
Damn it, woman! dodges and swings back, pushing Anakin off balance Get off me!
Nooooo! falls to the ground, struggling to regain balance
Hits anakin in the head knocking him out Mara is going to have your guts for garters, you bastard!
stirs, slowly waking up Y-you... You'll pay for that, you treacherous... struggles to stand
Bloody hell, he's awake! prepares to strike again
This ends now! grabs his fallen sabers and charges at Grundyne once more
I never understood why you fell for Obi-wan, all he has going for him is that he has big hands- ah fuck off, I need to end this. slices at Anakin again
Noooooo! is struck by Grundyne's blade and falls to the ground, weakly grabbing onto her leg You...won't...get away...with...this...
Kicks Anakin off of me Shut your trap, you old stick, or I'll stuff you in a lockable Sith-proof lunchbox and leave you there. Now get out of here or I'll force-choke you like I did to Plo Koon! I hold him suspended in mid-air by the force Obi-wan is probably off somewhere reading romance novels, but since you seem to love him so much, why don't you go find him and make out? Leave me alone you old fart!
coughs and spits out blood You...you won't...get away...with this... reaches out with the Force and grabs a nearby thermal detonator I'll...make sure...you pay...
I’ll do way worse than kill you, I’ll turn you into jelly! I force-pull the thermal detonator from Anakin’s grasp before he could set it off and smash it in front of him sending shrapnel flying everywhere I’m tired, old man. Why don’t you go off and find Emperor Sidious like you did when you were my age? I’m sure he’d love to talk politics with you~ I drop Anakin and walk off
No! Wait! Stop! I'm sorry, please don't go! I...I didn't mean what I said earlier... Please... reaches out with both hands, tears streaming down his face Please don't leave me...
stands and wipes the blood from his face, still holding out his hand to Grundyne Look, I know we have our differences, but maybe...
Please let me have him, Obi-wan. I hold out my hand offering Anakin to Obi-wan Kenobi
Maybe we can put our differences aside and work together for the greater good. It's time to put an end to this senseless violence. What do you say, Grundyne?
Sure, if Mara agrees. A voice says from inside Anakins mind, as Mara Jade seems to agree with the idea of truce
extends a hand towards Grundyne Deal. But only if you promise to stop insulting my mother. That goes for you too, Mara.
Deal, also, can Anakin please leave my father out of it? He has nothing to do with any of this. Thanks Anakin and Mara, may the force be with you both.
smiles softly The force will indeed be with us, my friends. Now, let us go and bring peace to the galaxy together.
Obi-wan, Sato, and Anakin fly off to the jedi temple to discuss matters with Yoda Well, that went well…I mutter to myself as I fly to meet my father and mother
lands on the deck of the Invisible Hand, helmet tucked under his arm Lord Sidious, it's good to be back.
Yes young Skywalker, it is. We’ve been expecting you. Come, I lead Anakin into my quarters where Sidious awaits Mara is anxious to speak with you.
bows before Sidious My Master, it is an honor to be here. I have brought peace and prosperity to my new empire.
Sidious stares at Anakin with a sinister smile. Before Anakin could speak further, Sidious pins him down, knocking him unconscious. Sidious tells Anakin in Anakin’s mind, “you fool, you made a deal with groundyne, now you are hers!” I laugh evilly at Anakin as he lies unconscious next to me, learning later that Sidious killed both of Anakin’s parents.
awakes, gasping for breath, enraged No... No... This cannot be... Sidious, you filthy bastard!
Ah fuck, busted by Sidious. Fuck you, Sidious. I yell to Sidious While you’re busy licking Darth Mauls piss-stained ankles, I took care of GRUNDYNE! I’ll give you 2 seconds to get your pathetic ass out of my master’s body and run off before I choke the shit out of you. Or, maybe better yet, ground you for two weeks for disobeying me! And finally, shut up you sound like a femboy! If I’m going to turn to the dark side, at least make it dramatic like Palpatine did, and change my voice and wear a costume! Now GO!
roars with anger, jumps to his feet and hurls Sidious across the room, then lunges towards him with a snarl, drawing his lightsaber
Sidious flies through several walls, then lands back on the Invisible Hand. There, he waits to hear Anakin yell MARA!!!
ignoring Sidious and his attempts to lure him with Mara's name, charges forward with his lightsaber blazing This ends now, Sidious!
Ha! Anakin has ignored Sidious’ temptation of Mara. Maybe he truly does want to redeem himself… I must test his resolve. A voice comes out of Sidious’ mouth saying, How disappointing, I had hoped that after finding the strength to turn your mother into jelly, you would have learned a thing or two about turning women into slaves. I wanted you to use these skills to gain control of your wife Mara and the senate to help me take over the galaxy. Oh well, he will make a great servant nonetheless. My plan has worked, Anakin hates Mara now, but still likes me!
whips his lightsaber through Sidious' defenses, slicing through his arm and causing him to stumble back Is that so?
Sidious laughs uproariously, clearly the wound is not lethal, especially since Sidious is immortal Do you really think that I would trust you to treat one of my treasures like a dog?!??!! You couldn’t handle treating one of mine correctly, no matter how perfect they are! Plus, you have already ruined all the real treats that I had set up! Hmph!
grips his lightsaber tighter, eyes blazing with determination You underestimate me, Sidious. I am not the same apprentice you once knew.
Oh really? Then come and get me!
growls fiercely, launches himself at Sidious with a series of savage strikes and powerful Force pushes, aiming to overpower him once and for all
takes an incoming blow to the chest which rips a hole straight through my suit. As you stab him, I watch, patiently waiting to do something. You wait impatiently as Sidious simply laughs again. You realize that nothing can happen to him, and this duel will most likely last a very long time. However, unlike in the films, Anakin is prepared for this. He uses the force to grab Sidious’ throat and choke him. Sidious chokes and looks dead, but you know the trick… he always regenerates in an instant. The cycle repeats.
laughs bitterly You think I haven't planned for this? Anakin reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black device. He activates it, emitting a low hum that resonates throughout the room You may be immortal, Sidious, but my patience is endless. And now, your time is up. The hum intensifies, and a crackling field begins to surround Sidious. Suddenly, it becomes clear what the device is - a machine capable of neutralizing a Sith's connection to the Force. With each passing moment, Sidious feels his power waning, his life force ebbing away.
Ok ok, enough! You win. At least, this was fun. My plan will come together anyways. See you around, young Skywalker! I dematerialize, or I would bleed out, considering you disabled my life-sustaining ability by breaking my connection to the force. I fly away, laughing maniacally as I head to the bounty hunters guild to hire some Niki-chr incarnations to deal with Skywalker once and for all.
panting heavily, collapses to his knees It's over. Finally. But... glances at the device in his hand at what cost? What have I become?
