	Title: Rise and Fall Author: Lolly_Tolly Timeframe: Post-RoTS AU Characters: Now that would be giving it away! Two Sith, couple of Jedi plus maybe some others… Genre: Basic “epic”. Bad guys gain control, good guys come and beat the living daylights out of them and bring good back to the GFFA. In addition, this is a major AU, so be warned, anything could happen. So, the whole "epic" thing has just been tossed out my window... Keywords: Evilness, Good vs.. Bad Summary: Someone you least suspect has been a Sith Lord masquerading behind a much gentler façade in order to gain control of the GFFA. Will the good guys come and save the galaxy or will everything continue to be dark and horrible? Notes: I’m planning for this to have a happy ending, but then, nothing I have written, with the exception of humour, has ever had a happy ending, so don’t be surprised if, when I finish writing this, everyone dies… Also, it’s told in a pattern of flashback, present. This is something I’m experimenting with so, constructive criticism is definitely welcome on this one. Just a side note; I’m a bit apprehensive about the title, so if you can suggest something better, please do so! Please be aware that anything before Palpatine's arrest in ROTS, still stands in this story... Emperor //Flasback// Palpatine was cowering on the floor of his office, a Jedi Master standing over him, bringing his lightsaber back in readiness to strike. Another Jedi Master stood bare metres away, unaware of their new arrival. Skywalker, remembering the two corpses in the foyer as he passed through, moved forward, not willing to let Palpatine share their fate. Suddenly, the first Master struck, and seeing the Chosen One’s move to intercept his strike at the wrist, ducked. After the second Jedi Master struck out, Skywalker lost his balance and tumbled out the shattered window. One of the Masters turned back to Palpatine, while the other went to get help… //Present// Sitting in his office, the Emperor smiled at the memory. His rise to power had been the focal point of his entire career. Fooling the Jedi had been a lot easier than he had thought it would be. He sneered as he thought of the Jedi, the collective bane of his existence. Most of them were dead now, the slate that was the Republic wiped of all evidence of the Jedi by the cleansing hand of his apprentice. Only a few had escaped. However, it did not matter as Votary was in the process of hunting them all down. He frowned, thoughtfully, as his musings turned toward his attentive apprentice. It was true that Votary had come a long way since his inauguration into the Sith that glorious day when they had brought peace to their Empire. Nevertheless, there was a slight possibility that he was making too much progress, too hastily. The Emperor smiled again as his thoughts turned to possible ways he could teach Votary a new lesson… Please let me know what you think. And the chapters will probably get longer as I go! -----signature----- Proud to be Fanfic Padawan of ZaraValinor! Proud WNU Master of green_riddle_monkey and takua16!

	Zara and slow_dawn: Thank you both for your comments. Here's the next installment! And many thanks to Zara for beta-ing this for me. Dancers //Flashback// The halls were filled with the bodies of fallen Jedi. Shaak Ti glanced over at Obi-Wan, then up at Yoda who was perched upon Obi-Wan’s shoulders. Through the Force, she could sense their overwhelming grief. Grief that each of them were having trouble releasing to the Force, especially, it seemed, Obi-Wan. Deciding to break the pregnant silence, she said, “Master. Why do you think he did this? He was our friend, our colleague.” She paused before she lamented, “We trusted him!” “Consumed by the Dark-Side, he has been. No further explanation needed, should there be,” was Yoda’s cryptic reply. //Present// Looking over at her traveling companion, Shaak could barely recognise the former-Jedi Master, Stass Allie, as she lay sleeping, disguised as a freelance dancer. She was a restless sleeper at the best of times, but since what had become known as the Purge, they had both had trouble sleeping, often staying up into the early hours, playing various card games. They both had trouble accepting that their friend and colleague of many years had forsaken all the things they had learnt and claimed to believe in and joined the Sith, to drown in the moral wasteland of the Dark-Side. They were currently sitting in the room they were renting in a small, run-down hotel. Neither was even sure what the name of the planet was, only that it was yet to come under Imperial control. Both jumped when Shaak’s comlink went off and a message played. “I’m looking for an old folk’s home for my father. If anyone has any information, please reply.” The two women looked at each other, Stass now fully awake, that particular code meant that Bail Organa was trying to reach them. Answering the message, Stass said, in ‘code’, “Only if he’s over sixty, I’m afraid.” This, translated, meant ‘Are you alone?’ “Yes, I do believe he is.” They shared a relieved grin before Shaak asked, “What’s the news, Phalarope?” referring to him by his code name, an extra precaution, to avoid detection. “Big ‘E’ wants to negotiate with us,” came the reply, making reference to the Emperor. “It’s probably sour milk, but we’ll tell Sparrowhawk and Justinians for you. Euryalus Sisters out,” Stass finished. They exchanged a glance before Shaak dialed a comm number. TBC... -----signature----- Proud to be Fanfic Padawan of ZaraValinor!

	Thanks for commenting Zara, and betaing for me! 'Tis really appreciated. And without further ado, the next chapter. Apprentice //Flashback// Entering the office, he was surprised to see Anakin tumble out the window. He remembered the bodies of his fallen brothers, left behind in the foyer, and released his grief into the Force. Moving forward again, he saw that the duel was over, and his soon to be Master stood, victorious, in front of him… //Present// Moving through the corridors of the Galactic Headquarters of the Imperial Peacekeeping Society, the former Jedi Temple, Votary smirked as he thought back on the memory. His Master may currently be the most powerful being in the galaxy, but this would not always be so. Not with the extra studies that Votary had been conducting. Eventually, he would gain power through the assassination of his Master. He could see that day in his mind. Even though it was at least a few years away, it would eventually come to be, and the galaxy would be his. His musings were interrupted at this point by a stormtrooper approaching him. “What do you want?” Votary snarled in an animalistic manner. He could taste the trooper’s fear through the Force and it was intoxicating. Votary looked on, seemingly separated from the situation, as a drunkard is separated from reality. He watched, becoming more inebriated with each passing second, as the trooper saluted nervously and reported, “My Lord! We have completed the excavation of the Jedi Archives. All Jedi material has been destroyed. All Sith artifacts have been preserved, as per your orders.” Votary waited, soaking in the trooper’s fear for a moment more before saying, “Congratulations, trooper! You have earned yourself and your men another day of life. I shall inform the Emperor.” With that, he stalked away. TBC... -----signature----- Proud to be Fanfic Padawan of ZaraValinor!

	Thanks for commenting Zara! Yes, the Dark Side does have two big players on its side. But not Obi-Wan. And thanks once again for betaing! Without further ado! Bounty Hunters Having reset the message, the three Jedi Masters were in the process of escaping, when they heard footsteps approaching. Ducking into a side hallway, the trio waited for the makers of the footsteps to pass. Soon two people rounded the corner, and ducked into the shadows, just as the Jedi had done. Neither of the pair seemed to have noticed their companions, and the three Jedi were more than happy to keep it that way. They watched as a patrol of clones marched past. Surprised that the pair they had joined them would be hiding from troopers, the Jedi decided to wait for the duo to reveal themselves. First one stepped out of the shadows, this one obviously female, but with a hood drawn over her head. She was slim, and small in stature, moving with the grace of a calm nexu. The second, obviously male, also had a hood, but was recognised as the female had not been, due to the slimness of his frame, but most of all, because of the slight cocky swagger, in his moderate gate, that spoke of confidence almost lost. A whisp of ginger hair was visible just beyond the confines of the hood, and way his thin lips curved upwards in a half confident smile, as he reached into the Force. He whipped around, startled, as he heard the whispered question. "Garen?" Sitting in the clearing, keeping watch, Garen Muln glanced at his sleeping companion as the memory faded. He smiled as he recalled the shock he had felt at the time, at hearing his name spoken by a voice he had not thought to hear again; the voice of his best friend. They had been extremely lucky to survive. Before the Purge, neither of them had believed in luck, but now it was as real to them as the Force. Many had not been as lucky as they had been; Obi-Wan’s Padawan among them. They had, against all odds, found his body, many levels below, along with one other. He turned and reached for his comlink, a fraction of a second before it alerted him to an incoming call. TBC... Please let me know what you think. -----signature----- Proud to be Fanfic Padawan of ZaraValinor! Proud WNU Master of green_riddle_monkey and takua16!

	VaderLVR64: What PM list? Jokes. I'll PM you! Thank-you both for commenting, and thanks again Zara for betaing! Emperor 2 //Flashback// Mas Ameeda entered the office, glancing around, he noticed two figures; one kneeling, the other standing in front of the first. Another figure lay crumpled on the floor, their wounds identical to those of the two corpses in the foyer. Moving forward a couple of paces, he came close enough to hear a whispered command, “A victim for you, my apprentice.” The last thing Ameeda experienced was the sight of a pair of animalistic, golden eyes and the blinding pain of a lightsaber. //Present// The Emperor’s lips turned upwards as he recalled Votary’s first act as a fully initiated Sith Lord. He personally had never really liked the Chagrian, but he had been a necessary tool. But like all tools, he eventually wore out his usefulness. This brought the Emperor’s thoughts back to Votary. His usefulness seemed to be drawing to an end. He would have to find someone more useful. This took his musings to a place they had not been for a long time. Of the Jedi left alive by the incompetence of Votary and the clones, who would be the easiest to turn? He turned the names over in his head, discarding each one in turn, until he came to a particular name. She would be a challenge to turn, but he was sure it could be done. She had often been the loudest voice in the Council Chambers and she had increasingly leant towards haughtiness during the waning months of the war. Yes, she would do nicely. Turning towards the datapad on the desk he thought, Now about that report Votary sent… TBC... -----signature----- Proud to be Fanfic Padawan of ZaraValinor!

	Gkilkenny whoever said his name was Sideous? Of course I can PM you! VaderLVR64, thanks for commenting! Many thanks to Zara for betaing! And, the chapters will eventually get longer. I'm in the middle of one twice this size! Of course, it won't be until I get up to these two characters again... sigh Anyways, enjoy! Dancers 2 //Flashback// The five Jedi glanced back at their one time home, each with memories of a contradicting genre. Some remembering humorous events, others remembered more recent events. They had managed to escape and were now a mere five levels from the surface, moving north, towards the spaceport. Yoda was still perched upon Obi-Wan's shoulders, but he noticed that instead of a group of five, they had unconciously split into two groups. One with two members, the other with three. He contemplated whether or not to order them to regroup, but decided against such an action. The smaller groups made them slightly less conspicuous, which his own presence certainly did not. Signalling for them to detour through a side-alley, he swung himself off Obi-Wan's shoulders. At the other end of the alley, two pairs emerged. One, a pair of brothers, both with ginger locks. The other a pair of females, with an infant. Shaak, Stass and Yoda headed to the spaceport; Garen and Obi-Wan trailing a few metres behind.[/i] //Present// Shaak calmly presented their passports to the Customs Officer. This planet was no longer safe, as bounty hunters had arrived in search of Jedi, and not the bounty hunters they would want to see. They were headed to Alderaan, disguised as members of the Silent, to meet with Bail. Both released a sigh of relief as they were waved through. Stass activated the closed comlink that went from her hood to Shaak's without anyone on the outside any the wiser. "I'm so glad they didn't find our sabers!" she said, anxious excitment evident in her voice. Shaak chuckled in agreement and said, "Come on, we have to find our cabin."
