Vengeance: A Sith's Story (Male Sith OC x Star Wars)

Chapter 14: Zillo Beast Strikes back

On the Super Star destroyer:

Malidictus had calmed down a little after the events of Exegol and the attack on Dathomir. And considering what he saw in his vision had come true, it was safe to say he was on edge. The voice hadn't spoken for a long time, so Malidictus thought that maybe it had been a short lived moment, it didn't matter much. Holding the ancient Mandalorian blade in his hand, he felt it's power and knew that he couldn't let anyone else claim it as it would drive them mad. As he was studying the blade, an Admiral walked up behind him and stood at his side. "My Lord, there is a strange phenomenon occurring on Coruscant," he said, snapping the Grand Emperor out of his analytic daze. Holstering the sabre, he turned to face his Admiral, "What's happening?" he asked as the Admiral pulled out a live feed from Coruscant. Malidictus went wide-eyed as he saw what was attacking Coruscant. A creature had faced in the past. A beast like no other. A Zillo Beast. "Where the kriff did they find that?!" he exclaimed. "I don't know, but it seems unhappy," the Admiral commented.

"Obviously. Right, we cannot let that thing stay on Coruscant and be killed," the Grand Emperor exclaimed. "My lord?" the Admiral asked. "I can feel its pain, its anguish. The last of its kind. It hates Sith, but if I can get close enough, I can talk to it through the force and we can re-locate it to an imperial planet, out of harms way," he said. The Admiral went wide-eyed, "How are we supposed to get it away from Coruscant of all places?!" he asked. Malidictus smirked, "That's the secret my friend. You see, there is an old friend of mine, with a strange name, of a strange species, who once taught me the secret to teleportation of large entities." he grinned. "Who is this strange friend of yours?" the Admiral asked out of curiosity. "An old friend. Both literally, and figuratively. I once encountered her and her family, her brother was....dark, shall we say, but she was not, and she saw that I was not like my master, hence why me and her became close, and she taught me the secret to force teleportation. If you can get me close, I can talk to it through the force and convince it to be relocated else where," Malidictus said confidently.

The Admiral still looked unsure, "My Lord, are you sure about this?" He asked. Malidictus nodded, "Yes Admiral. Set course for Coruscant, but keep the Ship cloaked and away from their radars. I will sneak in on my own ship and send the Zillo Beast to an Imperial planet, most likely Ryloth." He said as the Admiral nodded. "Launch the Ship into Hyperspace and head for Coruscant!" He ordered as the engines began powering up, and then, they were off. Malidictus looked out from the lone Super Star destroyer that was now hurtling through Hyperspace. It was a risky plan, but after all he'd done to the Zillo Beasts, after all those that he had gone up Against, he wished to atone for his sins against them, by saving the last one. The last of its kind.

Meanwhile on Coruscant:

"Distract it we must, to by General Skywalker more time," Yoda said as he and Aayla Secura boarded a ship and headed off to assist Anakin and the Chancellor with a distraction. The Zillo Beast had hold of the Chancellor's escape ship in its clutches, yet something was....off, as if it could sense something no one else could, and worse still, it seemed to be only targeting the Chancellor, not anyone else. Yoda and Aayla both jumped from their ship onto the beasts head and ignited their lightsabres, running up and down the creatures body to hopefully give Anakin more time to do what he needed to do.

Anakin then managed to cut the ship in half, making everyone fall out of it and begin tumbling to the ground. "Catch it!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as and Windu both held out their hands to stop tje broken off half off half of the ship from descending further. Meanwhile, Yoda and Aayla were still running around the creatures body, but not Striking it at all.

------------

"Ani!" Padme cried as she fell, with her secret husband sliding down after her. Thankfully, the senator managed to catch onto the edge and not fall, with Anakin coming up in front of her to help her. R2 meanwhile caught onto the side of the Senate building with a plunger, making himself jerk up-right with C3PO managing to hang on for dear life.
