Chapter 1 - (Emperor Palpatine's Apprentice.)

Chapter one:

Boom! A shot blows up the ground near the dark lord, but Emperor Palpatine doesn't flinch unlike the men beside him. It had been a week ago since he received the order to liberate the planet of Batuu and a boring week it had been. The Rebels here didn't give much of a fight nor did the people that lived on the planet. He had not had a real challenge in five years. He at least wishes he could receive information from his old Master maybe that would be an interesting fight. He decided to leave his ship and wait for the call that the battle was finished. But before he could a Stormtrooper walked up beside him.

"My lord we have captured a boy." Said the Stormtrooper.

Emperor Palpatine was a bit ticked off that the soldier had stopped him for such unimportant news. "And why should this information be consulted with me?" Asked Emperor Palpatine.

"Because before we could capture her she took down ten of our troops." Replied the Stormtrooper.

Emperor Palpatine was taken back a bit. "How old is this boy?" He asked.

"He looks to be around seven or eight." Replied the Stormtrooper.

Now things started to get interesting. "Where is he being held now?" Asked Emperor Palpatine.

"In cell block A-14, the Stormtrooper responded.

As Emperor Palpatine walked towards the cell he wondered if he could be the son of a Jedi. If he was then maybe he could be turned so that he would serve the Empire. If he was really great he could become one of Emperor Hands. If not then he would kill him where he stands.

As the door opened he saw a little boy crouching in the corner. Chains were tied around him probably to keep him under control. Certainly this was not the boy that they were talking about. He looked like he could barely kill one trooper let alone ten. He had brown hair, and brown eyes, and was hardly fit to be a warrior. He turned to look up and stared at him. He didn't look afraid of him. In fact even though he was looking at him his mind was someplace else. Emperor Palpatine could feel the anger and hatred within her not towards him but someone else. "There will be no need for those." With a wave of Emperor Palpatine's hand the chains fell to the floor. He still said or did nothing but look at him.

Emperor Palpatine walks towards him and gets almost right above him and says. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't destroy you." That would put fear in the boy he thought. Yet he still did nothing.

After what seemed like hours he finally opened his mouth to speak. "If I were only stronger I could have killed them all."

When he said that Emperor Palpatine thought he saw in him days before the Empire, he thought he saw himself when he was young and naive. Emperor Palpatine took his saber from his belt. "You are quite interesting little boy that is why I will give you a choice. Either grab my hand and be released from this cell or grab the hilt this lightsaber and be killed." Said Emperor Palpatine.

The boy reaches up and slowly touches the saber.

"You have made a wise decision." Said the dark lord of the Sith.
