Chapter Text
Sidious The Man The Myth the Sith! Is. . . Sulking? Contemplating, no he is sulking; with the senators and advisors kindly asked to leave while he looks into the feasibility of this peace deal.
*Grimace/half snarl*
Dooku Was ordered almost a day ago to deal with this woman; this feeble bono-teri, what ever her name was. He could not care Less! But no that dam representative in the Cis parliament was embedded so strong that not even a snap election would unseat her. Even if the king would allow for a new election to take place,
"a replacement then, . . . *sigh* if only the time." As he thinks upon who to replace the king with.
The man seated in his office late all alone with a spirit pull out and practically pouring it down his own throat at the rate of the consumption.
"eaugh" The sound escapes from the man
as the glass is half slammed down on the desk
"why the force am I drinking Gungan-Rum" the lord of the Sith questions out loud to himself.
he swiftly moves over to the communicator after a swift chirp alerted him.
One Count of Serenno is kneeling. "My master" Dooku drawls out naturally.
"Tyranus" "I am expecting results, as this ceasefire better come crashing apart soon" "thewarmustnotbehaltedlongasforthegrandplanmoretimeisrequiredtobreaktherepublic." The Sith Lord rambles in a haste, as his blood pressure feels stronger than his connection to the force itself at the moment.
Dooku gulps quietly then with some trepidation says "My Master, Mina Bonteri has held endless meeting and gatherings with quite literally; half of the parliament at any time I've been unable to assassinate her"
"whaa-*cough*" Sheev splutters, with the start of a coughing fit.
"and with Amidala's Ceasefire document being just accepted by the Separatist Government. Although with council and military commanders I've managed to sell this as a chance to consolidate to prepare for a restart to the war, as it pays to be on the right side of history." Dooku continues Ignoring Sidious as his nerves are high; the war is falling apart and could end as no one is stupid or willing enough to start it off again with out a good excuse.
"*cough*" "*cough*" Sheev's Breaths are shortening by the moment and his heart is pacing rapidly.
"Dam Gungan-Rum" The Sith lord spits out as he passed out with his head clocking the communicator.
Leaving the kneeling Dooku lost and concerned, expecting any form of punishment be that a lecture or a quick force choke.
As time passes the media is quick to find out that the chancellor of the republic is left in a coma after a stroke. Apparently he managed to drink 3/4 of a bottle of Gungan-Rum a drink know to humans to be safe in consumption only when chilled at room temp. It could actually cause damage to the throat and lungs, with how harsh the liquid irritate the tissue never mind the fact with the work load on the chancellor, his blood pressure would force him to be in constant pain.
With the man in a Bunker's medical facility guarded by his guards and with out him to allow one Anakin Skywalker to visit. He sat with his wife Padme worried and concern over the mentor, could only half listen too the good news of the ins and out of the ceasefire and that as a emergency session has already excepted the Cis alteration and peace for the moment is held.
As Padme answers some of Ahsoka questions from the other couch Just political talk from his understanding. the previous teasing over being overly worried about their safety as for now has turned out to be unnecessary.
He for a moment though he felt the force as if it was chuckling, no cackling he ignored it when a cushion hit his face as his padawan ask him
"you done zoning off there sky guy"
"yeah yeah Just a feeling, I don't know snips" he retorted in a sullen manner still feeling down about his mentor but picked up a bit by his cheeky apprentice.
Padme joins in but with some concern "there is no use to worrying about it Ani there is nothing that can be done, let the chancellor rest up and when he wakes up you can go see if he's alright"
Anakin nods along with a quick "your right" as he leans into his with with it being returned in kind clearly the couple have half forgotten that Ahsoka is there.
"awww" Ahsoka teases "Anakin give a half hearted glare then realised what he's doing along with Padme jolt upright.
"you know you two are often to obvious for your own good" Ahsoka says with a smile
"what?" Anakin defends "nothing master just one more rule you broken is all don't worry master Kenobi and I are keeping count." Ahsoka mentions
"Obi Wan would of told the council if he-" Anakin pauses for a moment "would he?" Ahsoka counters "why would he not" Anakin states "because you two are like brothers" Padme Interjects.
- The Galaxy at large
All of a sudden on every screen and display for viewing (The force was not going to cut off anything too important) a framed shot of the jedi temple was shown with a pair of doors opening to reveal a pair of jedi exiting them, One younger one older.
The younger one: The boy Will not past the councils test master, he's too old
across the galaxy a moment of confusion to many but too a few many the jedi they recognise one as Obi Wan and the Other as Qui Gon Jin.
In the Temple Obi wan stares at the pair shown lost in thought, while the rest of the council are shock and surprised by the angle and most of all the quality of the viewing.
Qui Gon: Anakin will become a jedi, I promise you.
Obi Wan: Do not defy the council Master not again.
Qui Gon: I Will do what I must obi Wan
The Scene shifts to a cave no a cell with reddish rock.
Obi Wan: traitor!
Dooku: oh no my friend This is a mistake a terrible mistake
Dooku gasp in shock at seeing this thankfully he's alone so no need to explain in the moment what that was but he can't comprehend how there is footage of that moment. If Sidious ever found out; well its a good thing he thought that he kept all information held about that talk, but how can a camera be in a room with solid rock for walls it makes not sense.
Palpatine: Count Dooku
As Obi Wan and Anakin turn round
Obi Wan: This time we do it together.
Anakin: I was about to say that.
The scene cuts to Yoda Windu and Obi Wan In a gunship.
Obi Wan: Anakin did not take to his new assignment with much enthusiasm
Windu: It's very dangerous putting them together. I Don't think the boy can Handle it. I don't Trust him.
Anakin slightly Growling to himself about this.
Obi Wan: Due respect, master, is he not the chosen one?
Obi Wan: Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force?
Windu: So the Prophecy says
Yoda: A Prophecy that mis read could have been.
Cue a lot of voice lines from Revenge of the Sith like the war could be over soon, master Kenobi has engaged General grievous, You shall be hence forth know as *pause* Darth Vader, The republic shall be reorganised into the first galactic empire!
the scene is left with one final video of Padme Hunch over saying "so this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.
As suddenly as it arrives it ends with Anakin's commlink calling from the council but too stunned to answer.
