(Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord.)

Chapter one:

Emperor Palpatine paced the floor angrily, waiting to hear from his Master Darth Maul. Emperor Palpatine had sent him on a mission to eliminate the Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. A sudden knock on his door interrupted his pacing.

"What?" Emperor Palpatine cried irritably.

A robotic voice answered. "Sir, I have a message about your apprentice, Darth Maul."

"Come in." Replied Emperor Palpatine, as he was anxious to hear something about Darth Maul's mission. The droid entered and stopped a few feet away.

"Sir, Darth Maul, successfully killed Qui-Gon Jinn, but he was taken out by Obi-Wan Kenobi." Emperor Palpatine collapsed in a chair. Darth Maul, one of the greatest Sith that ever lived , was dead? And taken out by a Padawan nevertheless! Emperor Palpatine then called out to the force, letting his anger for the Jedi grow. Emperor Palpatine would have his revenge.

"You may go now." Emperor Palpatine growled at the droid. Emperor Palpatine now needed another apprentice of his own. The only problem is that it takes years to find and train an apprentice. Emperor Palpatine reached out with the force, searching. Maybe... just maybe he could find someone...

A dark force suddenly appeared, nearly knocking Emperor Palpatine over with it's incredible strength and power. Emperor Palpatine snapped his eyes open, savoring the dark power that lingered in his mind. That person would be his apprentice and that person could be the most powerful Sith ever, perhaps even more powerful than Emperor Palpatine... Emperor Palpatine had to find this person, so that he could gain complete control of the Republic. At last, Emperor Palpatine would have his revenge.
