Chereads / Star Wars the Emperor's Hand... / Chapter 5 - (Assassination.)

Chapter 5 - (Assassination.)

Chapter five:

The Emperor was making his way to the platform that would float in the center of the Senate hall to make his speech. On his left was Senator Orn Free Taa and on his right Darth Venus.

As a reward for being the hero in the battle of Kashyyyk she was assigned to be the bodyguard for the Emperor. She felt somewhat pissed off because the people on Kamino could not fuse the genes of Wookies and the Stormtrooper's. Instead of letting the Wookies go back to their home planet they were kept or sold as slaves. She wondered why so many men had to die for a bunch of walking carpets.

Her Master had to go off and destroy the remnants of the CIS on Mustafar. She felt a little only but knowing her Master's lightsaber was by her side made her feel a little better. As the platform lifted into the center of the Senate she saw thousands of people. She had never seen or been to a Senate meeting and thought it might be exciting.

It is not that interesting trust me. The Emperor whispered. Ja-ni looked at him befuddled and then remembered he could read minds. I'm gonna have to learn how to do that she thought.

It turns out the Emperor was right endless negotiations, babbling, and constant whining was all that happened in the Senate. She was becoming bored. If she was the hero of Kashyyyk then why was she being punished with this. Of course protecting the Emperor was an honor she just wished she didn't have to do it here. Suddenly she felt a rift through the Force.

She looked around trying not to look to obvious. When she spotted a man in a cloak. She slowly put her hand near her Master's lightsaber ready for him to attack.

The man pulled out a gun and fired at the Emperor but Venus ignited her lightsaber and reflected the blast back at him. The man smiled as he died and Venus wondered why. When someone gasped she turned around to see a Jedi jumping towards the Emperor.

Before the Jedi could even get the Emperor's attention Venus had thrown her lightsaber and cut off the Jedi's head. She looked around to see that the Queen of Naboo was missing. The Emperor then said. I will postpone the meeting until I have found out who has made an attempt on my life.

As the platform lowered Venus turned to Master Sidious. My Lord I have an idea of who ordered the assassination. Ja-ni said.

It's the Queen of Naboo isn't it? Emperor Palpatine asked.

Yes. Ja-ni replied.

Then I entrust you Darth Venus to take what is left of the 501st and any other team you might need and make a regime change on Naboo. Emperor Palpatine told Vader's young apprentice.

It shall be done my Master. Ja-ni replied.

While waiting to arrive at Naboo Venus reviewed the information the Imperial Intelligence had gathered to prepare a plan for battle. Vader always taught her that it is not the fleshy shell that counts in war it is the mind. They would be arriving in the city of Theed's to engage in battle.

She turned her chair towards the visor screen and contacted General Tagge. Get the troops in the briefing room and hurry. Said Ja-ni.

It was nightfall when the Imperial shuttles landed and the troopers stormed out and fought their way into the inner gate. They had to fight off the Naboo guards and wait outside or the Defense Grid would kill them.

Meanwhile Venus and a team of Stormtrooper's, all unit types, jumped from rooftop to rooftop searching for the Queen. She motioned for a Shock Trooper to come to her.

Take out the Auto Laser Turret Defense Grid. Ja-ni said. She then heard Commander Tagge's voice through her com link. The Queen has released her Jedi bodyguards.

Inform the Scout Troopers that they and I will handle them. Ja-ni said. She jumped down and slaughtered a Jedi as the Grid blew up. Stormtrooper's engulfed the area as soon as the Grid fell. Jedi's were being killed every minute by sniper rifles or the blade of Venus's lightsaber until the Queen of Naboo appeared to try and save her people.

The Queen had killed two Stormtroopers until Venus jumped in front of her. Congratulations Senator you are going to make a fine example for the Empire. Said Ja-ni.

You can destroy my body but not what it stands for, there will be others. Just as the Queen said that Ja-ni used Force Choke to kill her.

And I'll be there to kill them. Said Venus. She looked up and gave the Scout Trooper a thumbs up and he returned the sign. It was the first time Venus or the 501st had been called on to change a planets government but not there last.

After the battle Venus was given part of the 501st as her own army and the 501st became known as the Sith Lord's first.
