"Things are not going as planned." Darth Sidious commented to his Master Darth Plagueis.
"Indeed, your Assassin Darth Maul, has not done his job in killing The Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn." Darth Plagueis commented taking a subtle jab at his apprentice.
"The Grand Plan we have spent A Thousand Years preparing for, will never be completed so long as Jinn is allowed to continue living." Sidious said while, Plagueis sighed knowing his student hated having something taken out of his control.
"Patience Sidious. Master Jinn, will be busy training The Chosen One, far to busy for searching for The Sith. And as for your worry over the Grand Plan, it is still in motion. We are Chancellors, so it is going well.... This is merely a minor setback." said Plagueis with Sidious not looking convinced.
"We did manipulate it. But I held the grand speech for when The Senate voted me into the position of The Supreme Chancellor. It would have been a most riveting speech. The entire Senate applauded me for it. I would share the title with you, but...you are about to die," said Sidious before he suddenly launched a barrage of Sith Lightning on his Master, who attempted to repel it with his own power.
Only for Plagueis to realize he was slowly losing. He was tired. Physically weak from staying up and never sleeping. Using the Force to sustain him in such a manner. Now his attention was diverted to holding off his treacherous apprentice's attack and trying to stay awake.
At full strength, Sidious was no match for Plagueis, this much both Sith knew was true without question. But the Muun was tired, both physically and mentally from lack of sleep, and his strength was divided in multiple directions.
Something Sidious also knew and pressed his advantage. Not holding back. Letting his inner darkness come out quickly in order to crush his Master in a hurry before the Jedi could sense their conflict. Eventually, the Sith Lightning Sidious unleashed was too much for Plagueis, and he was consumed by it. It was like this for well over 5 minutes straight before Sidious stopped his attack and was surprised Plagueis was alive.
If just barely.
"You---- think--- this means you-- are the Master. You are--- not. I saw this--- day through---- The Force. I saw--- your---- actions. The--- Grand---- Plan. You--- You ruined everything----- for The Sith." Plagueis rasped out, while Sidious snarled at him.
"I am the Sith." Sidious countered, while itching to unleash more on the dying Muun.
"No. You are--- a blight in--- The Force. Poison to-- all that you touch. I took--- measures to--- to stop you." said Plagueis with his face warping into a deformed smile.
"The Chosen One!" Sidious spat while easily putting two and two together.
"Yes. I--- needed something--- someone--- capable of---- killing you. The Force--- answered me and produced--- Skywalker!" stated Plagueis while Sidious narrowed his eyes.
"Produced? What do you mean? Speak?!" commanded Sidious with a sudden sense of urgency.
Plagueis only laughed while he lay their dying.
"This is my... revenge for... your betrayal. The... Force and I... we will have...our revenge." Plagueis said with a sinister smirk barely holding onto life.
"No. No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sidious roared before he unleashed his rage throughout the room and destroying much of what was in it.
When it was over, Sidious looked around the room to see the extent of his late Master's residence to see the extent of the damage.
But unlike the thrill of being the Master after slaying Plagueis, the Sith Lord felt none of it. Only anger, hate, and rage over how his former Master turned Sidious's act of betrayal back on him.
