《Rise of the Dark Council (Star Wars x Male Sith Reader)》Chapter 15 Epilogue: A Duel with the Emperor
Advertisement
Y/N POV
SIDIOUS! Darth Sidious, the Emperor himself stood directly before us with a malevolent grin stretched across his face. Me, Jerec and Desann kept our Lightsabers ignited, me with both blades as we stared at him in silence.
After what seemed like an eternity, he spoke "I was wondering how long it would take for this meeting to come Y/N L/N. And I see you have brought friends. It's a pity they won't be leaving here alive."
We remained silent as Sidious reached into his robes and withdrew not one, but TWO lightsabers. He ignited them both to reveal bright scarlet blades.
Image of Darth Sidious with his Lightsabers:
He held them both in a cross motion across his chest as he just stood staring at us and spat venomously "Now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side!"
At this point Desann had heard enough as he angrily yelled "I've had enough of this!" In blind fury he charged at Sidious, swinging his saber down at him. And that was his first mistake.
It all happened so fast, but I remember hearing the sound of a lightsaber cutting through tissue followed by a pained cry from Desann. My eyes widened when I noticed Desann's whole ARM, still clutching his lightsaber, fall to the ground.
Desann dropped to his knees, grasping his newly cauterized arm as he wailed in pain. However in the next instant, Sidious walked up to him and made another slashing movement and the next thing I knew Desann fell lifeless without a head.
Sidious looked back to me and Jerec wearing a sickening smirk as he said in an arrogant tone. "Now, where were we?"
I felt rage bubble in me as I had both of my blades in their spinning motion as I let upward and attempted to stab Sidious right through the chest. However he just used the Force to throw me across the room. After that he turned his attention to Jerec and attacked.

Much to my surprise, Jerec was able to deflect some of Sidious' lightsaber swings however there was the obvious power gap between them so Sidious then surprisingly kicked Jerec down to the ground causing him to drop his lightsaber.
Oddly enough, Sidious shut off both of his sabers. At first I was confused as to what he was planning however then he stretched his hands out in front of him and a stream of bright blue lightning shot out of his hands and lances into Jerec.
Image of Darth Sidious' Lightning:
Sidious kept up his lightning barrage as Jerec thrashed about on the floor in pain. Every now and then Sidious would stop and taunt him, saying stuff along the lines of "I have waited so long to eliminate a traitorous rat like you!"
He kept at it until eventually I got off the ground and reignited both of my lightsaber blades before leaping at Sidious and kicking him to the ground. He seemed surprised that I had actually struck him.
I checked Jerec's pulse and my mood darkened a bit when I felt none, Jerec had died from the lightning.
Turning to Sidious I pointed my lightsaber at him as he simply walked towards me with a smirk "When we first met boy, I was considering making you my new apprentice, Vader hasn't been as useful as I had hoped. But now, I realize you are just a pathetic child!"
He then ignited one of his Lightsabers and lunged forward while spinning and letting out an ear splitting shriek.
Once he landed, I was barely able to defend myself from his attack. He swung at me again before launching me back with the force. I crashed into a class case and spilt it's contents onto the floor.

Looking up I saw Sidious approaching while cackling to himself, "You really thought you had a chance to best me boy?!" I could tell he was toying with me and I had no chance to best me, so I looked around until my eyes widened at what was in the case I crashed in to.
The Scepter of Ragnos!
I didn't waste time thinking about how convenient it was that I crashed into the very same object that I was looking for. But I picked the scepter up and did something I didn't expect myself to do.
I aimed it at Sidious and sure enough an orange beam shot out and hit his hand, disarming him and also surprising him, giving me an opportunity to escape!
In that brief window, I turned around and shot another laser at a nearby window, shattering it. I didn't think twice about Jerec and Desann, they both were as good as dead. Instead I just lept out of the window as Sidious recovered and watched as I escaped with a snarl mixed with a smirk on his face.
"Death will come for you sooner or later Y/N. I have foreseen it."
I didn't hear that though as I quickly made my way back to my starfighter and took off, leaving Coruscant without a second thought.
Once I was in orbit I strangely received a transmission. Upon answering it I was surprised to see the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother stood there. I was angered by what had just happened so I coldly said "Speak."
The Fifth Brother answered "We have returned to the Revenged, Vader killed the others however we were able to escape." I said "Jerec and Desann are also dead. Sidious was there, we didn't stand a chance. I have the Scepter though."
Before signing off I gave one statement.
"Await my presence on the Revenged, I believe you need further training. And we will need to bolster our ranks."
I signed off and travelled into lightspeed.
Author's Note: That's it for Chapter 15 AND this book as a whole! I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused with the whole 'almost discontinued' situation. I want to thank those who've been reading and I'd like to give a SPECIAL thank you to those who've been voting and even commenting on the chapters as well, it really means a lot to me. Now I will do a third installment which will start around a New Hope and end after Return of the Jedi but I have a few other things to do before then. Finally, I hope you enjoyed and as always, thank you for reading!

Isekai trash story
You know why you clicked on a story with this title #anime is trash and so am I The main character dies of a heart attack and awakens in another world, alone and in a cave with the body of a newborn baby. However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
