Chapter six:
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 on Kamino could not fuse the genes of Stormtroopers and Wookies. Instead of letting the Wookies go back to their home planet they were kept 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 Senate on Mustafar. So he was a little lonely but knowing that his crimson red lightsaber that his Master had given him was by his 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, Darth Plagueis whispered. Cale Lestin looked at him befuddled and then remembered he could read minds.
"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 with this. Of course protecting Darth Plagueis was an honor he just wished he didn't have to do it here. Suddenly he felt a rift through the Force.
He looked around trying not to look too obvious. When he spotted a man in a cloak. He slowly put her hand near his crimson red lightsaber ready for him to attack.
The man pulled out a gun and fired at Darth Plagueis but Cale ignited his crimson red lightsaber and reflected the blast back at him. The man smiled as he died and Cale wondered why. When someone gasped he turned around to see a Jedi jumping towards Darth Plagueis.
Before the Jedi could even get Darth Plagueis's attention Cale had Force saber thrown his crimson red lightsaber and cut the Jedi's head off. He then looked around to see that queen Padme Amidala was missing.
Darth Plagueis then said. "I will postpone this peace treaty until I have found out who has made an attempt on my life."
As the platform lowered Cale turned to Darth Plagueis. " My master I have an idea of who ordered the assassination." Said Cale Lestin.
"It's queen Padme Amidala isn't it?" Asked Darth Plagueis.
"Yes." Replied Cale Lestin.
"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 your majesty." Replied Cale Lestin.
While waiting to arrive at Naboo Cale Lestin reviewed the information the Imperial Intelligence had gathered to prepare a plan for battle. Emperor Palpatine always taught him that it was not the fleshly shell that counts in war it is the mind and heart. They would be arriving in the city of Theed's to engage in battle.
Cale Lestin turned his chair and contacted General Tagge. "Get the troops in the briefing room and hurry." Said Cale Lestin.
It was nightfall when the Empire shuttles landed and the troopers stormed out and fought their way into the inner gate. They had to fight off the Naboo Royal guard's 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 queen Padme Amidala. He motioned for a Shock Trooper to come to him.
"Take out the Auto Laser Turret Defense Grid." Said Cale Lestin.
He then heard General Tagge's voice through her comlink. "Queen Padme Amidala has released her Jedi bodyguards."
"Inform the Scout Troopers that they and I will handle them." Said Cale Lestin.
He then jumped down and slaughtered a Jedi as the Defense Grid blew up. Stormtroopers engulfed the area as soon as the Grid fell. Jedi's were being slaughtered every minute by sniper rifles or by the red blade of his crimson red lightsaber until queen Padme Amidala appeared to try and save her people.
Queen Padme Amidala had killed two Stormtroopers until Darth Zeth jumped in front of him. "Congratulations general you are going to make a fine example for the Empire." Said Cale Lestin.
"You can destroy my body but not what it stands for, there will be others." Just as queen Padme Amidala said that, she felt a sting in her neck.
"And I will be there to arrest them." Said Cale Lestin. He then looked up and gave the Scout Troopers a thumbs up and they returned the sign. It was the first time Darth Zeth or the 501st Legion had been called on to change a planet's government but not there last.
After the battle Darth Zeth was given part of the 501st Legion as his own army and the 501st Legion became known as the Sith Lord's first.
