Chapter 6 - (Assassination.)

Chapter 6:

Darth Plagueis 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 Zeth.

As a reward for being the hero of Kashyyyk he was assigned to be the bodyguard for Darth Plagueis. He felt somewhat pissed off because the people of Kamino could not fuse the genes of Stormtroopers and the Wookies. Instead of letting the Wookies go back to their home planet they were killed or sold as slaves. He wondered why so many men had to die for a bunch of walking carpets.

His master had to go off and destroy the remnants of the CIS on Mustafar. So he felt a little lonely but knowing that his crimson red lightsaber was by her side made him feel a little better. As the platform lifted into the center of the Senate he saw thousands of people. He had never seen or been to a Senate meeting and thought it might be exciting.

"It's not that interesting trust me." Said Darth Plagueis.

He looked at him befuddled and then remembered he could read mind's.

"I'm gonna have to learn how to do that." Cale Lestin said to himself.

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

He looked around trying not to look to obvious. When she spotted a man in a cloak. He slowly put his hand near his bladed crimson red lightsaber ready for him to attack.

The man pulled out a blaster and fired at Darth Plagueis but Darth Zeth ignited his crimson red lightsaber and reflected the blast back at him. The man smiled as he died and Darth Zeth wondered why. When someone gasped she turned around to see a Jedi jumping towards Darth Plagueis.

Before the Jedi could get Darth Plagueis's attention Darth Zeth had Force saber thrown his crimson red lightsaber and cut off the Jedi's head. He then looked around to see that the Queen of Naboo was missing.

Darth Plagueis then said. "I will postpone this meeting until I have found out who has made an attempt on my life."

As the platform lowered Darth Zeth turned to Darth Plagueis. "My lord I have an idea of who ordered the assassination." Replied Darth Zeth.

"It's the Queen of Naboo isn't it?" Said Darth Plagueis.

"Yes." Replied Darth Zeth.

"Then I entrust you Darth Zeth to take what is left of the 501st Legion and any other team you might need and make a regime change on Naboo." Said Darth Plagueis.

"It shall be done my master." Replied Darth Zeth.

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

He turned his chair and contacted General Tagge. "Get the troops in the briefing room and hurry." Said Cale Lestin.

It was nightfall when the Imperial shuttles landed and the trooper's 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 Darth Zeth and a team of Stormtroopers, all unit types, jumped from rooftop to rooftop searching for the Queen. He motioned for a Shock Trooper to come to him.

"Take out the Auto Laser Turret Defense Grid." Replied Cale Lestin.

He then heard General Tagge's voice through his comlink. "The Queen had released her Jedi bodyguards."

"Inform the Scout Trooper's that they and I will handle them." Replied Cale Lestin.

He then jumped down and slaughtered a Jedi as the Grid blew up. Stormtroopers engulfed the area as soon as the Grid feel. Jedi's were being killed every minute by sniper rifles or the blades of Darth Zeth's lightsaber until the Queen of Naboo tried to save her people.

The Queen of Naboo killed two Stormtroopers until Darth Zeth jumped in front of her.

"Congratulations Senator you are going to make an example of the Empire." Said Cale Lestin.

"You can destroy my body but not what it stands for, there will be others." Replied Queen Padme Amidala.

Just as she said that Darth she felt a sting in her neck.

"And I'll be there to arrest them." Said Cale Lestin.

He then looked up and gave the Scout Trooper a thumbs up and he returned the sign. It was the first time that Darth Zeth or the 501st Legion had been called to change a planets government but not there last.

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