Synopsis

Chapter 1 - (The dark blood.)

Chapter one:

She walked to the dark chamber. The throne towered before her, it's dark spires like hungry fingers, gasping for life. What is this place?

The throne seemed to look into her, her mind, into her soul. The many Sith who had sat upon that throne seemed to be studying her. Watching her. Ja-ni gazed into the room. She heard the voices talking about her. Seeing her potential.

Long have I waited. Ja-ni broke into a cold sweat. With terror in her eyes, she faced the speaker. Palpatine.

For my granddaughter to come home. Palpatine's mouth curled into a wicked grin. Ja-ni's breathing was getting faster and faster. Something about his face... Was he proud to see me?

Palpatine gestured to the throne. Welcome, Empress Palpatine. Ja-ni's eyes widened. Palpatine smiled. He looked down at his daughter. He enjoyed her fear.

You will take the throne. It is in your blood. Our blood. It is your birthright. It is your destiny. Ja-ni wore a determined look on her face. I haven't come to lead the Sith. I've come to end them.

Palpatine chuckled. As a Jedi?

Yes. Replied Ja-ni.

Foolish girl. No. I can feel your anger. Your hate. Your suffering. You want to kill me. That is what I want. Ja-ni took a step back. My spirit possesses all of the Sith. Kill me, and you will gain the spirit's of all the Sith before you. You will be Empress, my granddaughter. We will be one. Said Emperor Palpatine.

Ja-ni took a step back. She knew he was manipulating her. But in the back of her head, she wondered if this was her destiny. Was this what her heritage had led up to? She wanted to kill him, but his promise made her hesitant.

Palpatine gestured to the battlefield. He showed her the Resistance being pummeled. Her friends- no, family was being slaughtered right in front of her. The Resistance is dying, granddaughter. You lead them here. Their deaths are the result of your decision. By becoming Empress, you can call off the attack. You can save your friends. Said Emperor Palpatine.

Ja-ni looked at Palpatine, then at the battle. She saw the wreckage that the Imperial Order had done. It was tough to admit, but it looked like evil had won.

Maybe embracing the dark side is a way to save my friend's... I could call off the attack, give the Resistance protection...

Ja-ni turned to face her father. Clenching her fist's, she took a deep breath, and drew her lightsaber. It's purple blade sizzled to life.

Palpatine laughed. Yes, granddaughter. Kill me, and be reborn as a true Sith! The Jedi are dead! The Sith are reborn!

Ja-ni swung with the emotion to kill a man that took everything she ever cared about away from her. He killed her parents, and her allies. Palpatine gave a final cackle as Ja-ni drove her lightsaber into his heart.

As Palpatine crumpled to the ground, Ja-ni opened her arms, and the essence of Palpatine rushed into her. She should've felt scared, or worried, or felt immense pain, but she didn't. She heard the disappointed voices of her Master's, she saw their faces filled with regret.

She also heard the voices of the Sith, telling her she made the right decision. Welcome to your new family, Empress. All hail Ja-ni Palpatine, the greatest Sith there ever was.

Ja-ni felt the raw power inside of her. She closed her eyes, and they went from green to yellow, as she took her seat on the dark throne as the Supreme Empress of a new Galactic Empire.

As she sat, a satanic laugh escaped her mouth, and it seemed to echo throughout the galaxy.

Jacen Solo dashed to the throne room. He needed to make sure that Ja-ni was okay. Who knows what Palpatine was doing to her. Jacen turned a corner and ran into the chamber.

He didn't feel the same energy as last time he was here. It had been rough, and scratchy. This one had the same dark energy, but it was more like velvet, soft and smooth.

Looking up at the throne, he doesn't see any sign of Palpatine anywhere. He does, however, see a tiny form sitting cross- legged on the throne. Her cream white clothes was a stotic contrast to the smoky black throne she sat on.

Jacen approached the throne. Ja-ni.

Ja-ni's eyes looked down at him. Jacen Solo.
