Star Wars: the purge

Chapter 10: the emperor



As alarmed as Kokichi was about the prospect of training with Kassandra. The overwhelming curiosity of the relationship that Vincent shared with her one him over.

As though to answer his question Vincent sent his greeting toward Kassandra." I'm glad you could make it Kassandra." Before leaning in and giving her a light peck on the lips.

And action that left Kokichi unable to form word, shocked at this sudden form of physical affection displayed between his new friend and what he could only describe as the scariest women he's met.

Returning the kiss she replies." How could I miss our beloved emperors funeral, how unsightly that would have been for a ranking officer such as myself."

A serious expression appeared on Vincent's face." Were you at least able to complete your mission."

"Yes as the intell suggested their was a force user hiding amongst the population, though only a padawan. not the brightest either caught him using the force for menial tasks."

"Ha,probably only had a third rate teacher trian him." Vincent responds in an amused tone.

As the two contuned to talked,completely forgetting about Kokichi and Fedlock as they reminisced and caught up. Kokichi glanced in Fedlock direction only to see the poor man still shaking slightly, and having no intention of Interrupting the two.

Sighing inwards Kokichi stilled his nerves and coughed lightly before Interrupting." So how did the two of you meet, better yet how did you come to work for Vincent Major Kassandra."

As he stayed his question the rest of the guest around the room held their breaths and looked at him with eyes that screemed 'are you insane'.

While Fedlock grew visibly paler as sweat started to drip from his forehead, darting his eyes around looking for any means to escape this situation that he did not want to be in.

Vincent's face grew ever so slightly complicated as he thought of how to answer. And a sinister and creepy smile formed on Kassandra's face before answering the question.

"Now that takes me back, it was about 3 years ago when we first met. I was hired for my serveses by the empire when I was still a bounty hunter. And caught the attention of Vincent for my many winning qualitys and of cause, my charm.

" knowing his reputation to collect competent individuals, a deal was struck between us. I would serve as on officer allowing me to send food water and supplies to my clan, and in return Vincent would accept my proposal of marriage."

Kokichi could have sworn his brain had short circuited, was this woman actually sane. Before Turing to Vincent for confirmation who only shook his head and spoke.

"It was a good deal at the time, her clan is one of the last descendants of Mandalore the ultimate."

"A clan that have devoted centuries to create the ultimate Mandalorian worrier capable of vanquishing both jedi and sith lords alike. And action that got the clan exiled from Mandalore and seen as heretics by death watch, as each descendant became more force sensitive."

With Vincent's confirmation, important things were started to become clear, first Vincent had one serious problem, the second was that Kassandra was even more dangerous then he first thought.

In realization Kokichi questions."is that how she is able to make precence so chilling."

With a thoughtful expression Vincent replies." Not exactly, she unconsciously affects the force around her with her will, resulting in an almost passive killing intent. Making her apear to other around her like a demon in the body of a human."

"Can she not just use her will to negate this affect." Kokichi thought out loud

" well yes and no by doing as you suggested my precence would become invisible to almost everyone "

" plus I enjoy watching those around be cower and shake just from being in my precence."she says with a smile.

With that unnerving comment all those with in ear shot moved further away, an action that only made her smile widen even further.

Vincent seeing the mood continue to sour with each word changes the subject. "I have recently come into the ownership of an undiscovered planet that I will be using as my home, and I would Iike to extend an invitation to the rest of your clan to take up residence."

This statement left Fedlock,Kassandra and Kokichi momentarily stunned, when had he even discovered a new planet. But the first to escape the shock was Kassandra as a beautiful light laugh escaped her.

"That would be wonderful my dearest Vincent, I will send word to the rest of the clan once the ball concludes"

As there conversation continued, the imperial chief of staff came forward Unbaran Sly Moore and unusual looking women with almost dead eyes eyes and emotionless face, her white clouded eyes boring into Vincent before speaking.

"It's a pleasure supreme carmander Vincent, the emperor his majesty skywalker is asking for an audience with you, so that you may have the honor of pledging your alegence once more to this great empire."

"Do I have permission to bring my newest officer to introduce his To the emperor." Vincent ask in a formal tone.

The chif of staff looks over at Kokichi Muta before giving a nod." Permission granted."

Leading the two officer upstairs and infront a majestic set of double doors. The chef if staff comments. " the emperor will see you now, please head inside.

Walking inside Vincent saw the newest emperor Anakin skywalker sitting on his throne with a pleased smile on his face as he looked toward the man who helped him achieve this.

Vincent steps forward with a slight smug before speaking." I have to admit that throne rather suits you emperor skywalker." Emphasiseing the word of emperor.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, the emperors gested toward a pair of chairs beside him." Come sit, there is much to talk about and I could use your insite friend."

Sitting down Vincent starts by introducing Kokichi to the emperor." Your majesty I would like to introduce to you lieutenant Kokichi Muta, a much valued new officer."

With his introduction Kokichi gave a respectfully bow." It's a pleasure to be in your precense emperor skywalker."

Giving a polite greetings back he turns back towards Vincent." I'm certain there is something special about lieutenant Kokichi or you would not have brought him before me correct." The emperor stated with am amused smile anticipating his friends attics.

With a smile one his face." That is correct Anakin,Kokichi has discovered a new type energy other than the force."

Turing to Kokichi beside him and instruction him to show the emperor. Kokichi allowed his cursed to flow though his body before materialising on his balled fist.

With a complete look of shock emperor Anakin looks at Kokichi with wide eyes. "Now aren't you more then what meets the eye."

Kokichi believing this would be a good time to explain." It's called cursed energy your majesty, it's an energy formed from the negative emotion of sentient being, the higher the population of people the higher the concentration of cursed energy will be find."

"It can be used my many ways the most common would be enhancing the physical abilitys of the users."

With a pleased smile." That is quite an interesting ability, one that could rival force users."

" your don't need to worry your majesty very few people can become curse uses, and the force seems to be actively suppressing cursed energy from being discovered."

" I would like to keep it that way too, so I would advise you not to revel this technique to anyone." With a serious tone the emperor states.

"Understood tour majesty, I had no intention of reviling this technique anyway."

Turning away form Kokichi and back toward Vincent the emperor speaks about his next topic." Good with that out of the way I would like to present to you a gift Vincent for your efforts in dealing this Palpatine."

Getting up from his thrown he walks over to his nearby desk and retives box before." This is for you Vincent, as I know how much you like to collect them."

Opening up the ornate box Vincent finds himself looking at a pair of light sabers that once belonged to the sith lord Palpatine.

With a beaming smile Vincent closes the line and thanks the emperor. " Thank you Anakin my friend for this gift. And if it would not be to much I would Iike to make a request of your majesty."

With a puzzled yet amused look." Very well state your desire."

"Thank you, I have recently discovered an uninhabited planet with rich soil and vast oceans, it is my hope that I may lay claim to this planet.

"As such I would like to permission to bring workers and supplies over so that inferstructure can be built, allowing this new planet to become a bread basket for the empire.

Thinking it over for awhile the empire responds." That is acceptable, you take what you need from the empire."

"Now onto more important topics, there are some dire changes that need to be made to the empire if we wish to quell constent rebellions."

Vincent thinks it over before speaking." The first and most important would be the anti non human reterict. This mentality of the empire is one of the major reason why other sectors veiw of with hostility."

As the two contuned to talk over the changes that would be made to the future to the empire, changes were happening around the galaxy that would only help to boslyer the image of the new emperor.
