PROLOGUE
Above Endor, the Star Destroyer Tyrant hovered, the white paint bright against the dark depth of space. There the stars went to infinity, with Endor being one of the Unexplored Rim areas.

Palpatine stood on the Destroyer?s bridge, watched by two of his royal guards. The red-cloaked giant figures with their force-pikes at the ready, alert and silent.

The Emperor gazed around the Tyrant?s bridge, pleased by what he saw. The bridge was efficient, the troopers more so, and his servant Lord Vader attentive to his every movement.

This was how he liked it, with himself at the center of everything, much as Coruscant was the accepted center of the galaxy.

There was only one thing that was outside of him.

He held great fear in the palm of his mechanical hands, his yellow eyes with sliver slits watching and seeing everything. He was machine with an alien brain and eyes, and stalked along on two spidery legs, ending in raptor-like claws. Two arms ended in five mechanical fingers, each capable of turning a fine pin with precision or crushing a human skull with little effort. The mask that covered his face allowed people to see his eyes, but the rest was covered, except for four slits so he could breathe.

He was a Jedi killer, the best in the galaxy, undefeatable and controlling. The ironic part of his armor was that it was white, but seemed red, tinted with the blood of Jedi and Old Republic leaders that he had murdered in cold-blood.

His name was General Grievous.

He watched the Emperor and his servant with narrow eyes, cool and calculating even in a diplomacy meeting. He knew Vader when he was Anakin Skywalker, as Darth Sidious had asked him to kill his wife in order to finish his turning to the dark side.

The Emperor was Sidious, and he was even more twisted than before. Grievous knew of his identity, and his student Vader infuriated Grievous with his closeness. Grievous couldn?t let any Jedi live, it was against his nature. However, he had to put up with Vader, for now. His long fingers touched the two hilts of his sabers underneath the white silk cloth that was his cloak, wrapped around to cover his white mechanical body.

He had supernatural hearing and sight thanks to amplifications in his brain, which held an IQ of around 180. He turned his head to look at his defense droids, mechanicals with sleek sniper rifles half the height of there six feet.

When standing at full height, Grievous himself was around seven and a half feet tall. Right now he stood around seven feet with his knees bent as to not make his companions nervous, all though Vader wasn?t nervous, he was furious.

Grievous was an intimidating figure to almost anyone, except for chance few.

Vader was one of those, and he shared Grievous?s hatred, all though Grievous didn?t know that it was him who was the focus of that hatred.

Grievous turned his head back toward the door, and announced in a sharp, hissing tenor, ?The Rebellion representatives are here.?

?Let them in.?
CHAPTER ONE

?Let them in.? The Emperor announced.

Vader glowered at Grievous as he snapped, ?Open the doors, fools.?

The two defense droids opened the double obsidian doors, and four figures walked onto the bridge.

Mon Mothma strode in first, her short red hair bristling with energy, dressed in her usual white with a gold braid trimming the neck of the dress.

Leia Organa and Han Solo came next. Princess Leia wore her long hair in a silver cage at the back of her neck, and a long white and crimson gown. Crimson was the color of diplomatic status, so he had expected nothing less.

Solo wore a red and gold shirt and tan fatigue pants, with a black vest and his holster slung gunfighter style, brown hair as messy as usual.

The last figure was a shock to all three Imperials.

You killed Luke? Yikes! I liked it, but would have loved to see Luke live, LOL!

I am glad that Leia, Padme, Anakin, and Han got to be together. I can almost forgive you for killing Luke!

Nice job!
