Bab 3: Temples are Sacred (2/2)
I do have many things I can say in this situation, do I say I have never needed a lightsaber? My power in the force makes sure such a thing isn't needed when I can kill someone with a thought, why get my hands dirty when I don't need to?
I guess I can use the phrase my father like so much, empowering it with the force l shouted "Bow before the dragon of Zakuul"
The Sith was slammed onto his knees, one of his knee caps shattered under the force of his fall, looking down at him, I remarked,
"You see Sith, you're drugged up on anger and pain if you weren't you would have noticed that you are not a match for me, I, however, need you to succeed in your plot, destroy the temple sure but this Jedi is free to walk."
I turned to the shaken woman, "Leave us here, gets as many Jedi out of here as you can, we will meet again in the future until the take better care of yourself. No more stupid risks, is that understood?"
Shaak Ti looked up at me, a mixture of fear and gratitude clear on her face, "Who are you?"
A smile forced its way onto my face, "They call me the Mad Prince, that is all you will be getting out of me, save the Padawans, the clones shouldn't be an issue for you right?"
As Shaak Ti nodded her head, I moved her out of the room with one hand as I lifted the Sith Lord into a force choke, it had enough force to mobilise him but, not enough to do him any real harm.
"So, why does your master want to kill all of the Jedi? I mean you are a Sith, fair enough, there are enough atrocities committed on both sides to cause more than hostile relations however slinking in the shadows? That was never the main Sith way, what changed?"
The Sith just floated there slowly choking, knowing that I wasn't going to get any answers from him, I used the force to probe his mind, encroaching on his memories, I can learn many things about the Jedi turned Sith. He was married which is a big no in the current era, there were exceptions in mine for extraordinary Jedi but it seems that practice has been thrown to the wind.
The next interesting piece of information is the Leader of the Sith is the current chancellor of the republic, he is planning to turn it into an Empire, I fear he will learn that he went about this the wrong way, the Republic will rebel, hard in the future, they always did. You need to control them through incentives rather than fear, something the Sith never really mastered.
"Your wife is pregnant? Well, congratulations. I'm sure your children would love to know that you massacred younglings like it was sport. I'm not going to judge you for it as I have done much, much worse however they will, your wife, the people who will serve you, your children, they will see nothing but a monster who needs to be destroyed. The only question you need to ask is, when all of the anger and pain fades from your body and you can think straight, will you see yourself as a monster?"
Turning around, I opened a door and disappeared from the temple, as I appeared back at my former prison, my mind cleared itself once more, the cold rage I felt disappeared, that Sith reminded me too much of my Half-Brother. The anger that consumed him right until I drained him of his life and power, a shame, I felt the good in him, drowned out by the burning hatred, maybe that is what really lead me to allow the Sith to live.
I suppose I should return home, there is a lot of work waiting for me on Zakuul, with the destruction of most of its hyperlanes, it appears that the people of the planet have reverted to the tribe like society that my father had raised them out of during his first few years ruling the planet however this time, some of the tribes had barely work ng blaster and staffs rather than swords and shields.
Creating another door for myself, I walked into the former throne room of the Eternal Empire, the throne itself had long been reclaimed by the wildlife of the planet, vines and other plants claiming it. Electrical scrap lay littered across the floor, all of it useless junk, anything of value would have been long looted, I mean these people went tribal right?
