I had the helmet on and looking at the wayfinder more determined to destroy them. I fly around the meteors and crap in space as I get closer to Exegol. As I get closer to the planet I feel myself shudder at the darkness surrounding the planet.
Hyperspeed in making me stop then seeing the destroyers up making me take a deep breath. I landed the ship taking in breaths, not trying to panic. I calmed myself then hopping out of the ship, walking straight to where I feel him. I continued to walk without flinching at the lighting around me.
I get on a platform and it goes down and stops as I look around seeing statues of the past Sith as I walk looking around. I turned to see a bunch of machines and I look straight then walked into the crack in the wall. I got further in my heart started to beat faster as I walk closer.
I kept walking until I got out and see a familiar throne making me shudder. I quickly walked around to the front to see it. I walked a couple feet away from it, seeing the throne made me wide eyed as I hear chanting. I turned around seeing stands of Siths in black, I continue to look at them as I hear a voice.
"Long have I waited." I hear his voice making me turn around facing the person of the voice making me shudder. "For my grandchild to come home." Cirillo says out towards as I felt the fear and anger in me rise as I looked at both of them but mainly at Cirillo. "I never wanted you dead. I wanted you here. Empress Cirillo." He said extending his hand out to the throne.
"You will take the throne." He said darkly as I stepped back panting in fear as he got closer to me. "It is your birthright to rule here. It is in your blood. Our blood." He said as he got closer making me back up looking at him.
"I haven't come to lead the Sith. I have come to end them." I forced out as I backed up seeing some guards come out from everywhere. "As a Jedi?" He said darkly as I glared up at him. "Yes." I said sharply at him, "No. your hatred, your anger. You want to kill me." He said looking at me as I did the same. "That is what I want." He said as I frowned up at him as he continued.
"Kill me and my spirit along with Palpatine's will pass into you." He said making me stare at him in fear but quickly masking it. "As all the Sith live in me. You will be Empress.....we will be one." He said as I felt the adrenaline flow through me as I felt myself freeze.
I looked up at him then at Palpatine as Cirillo spoke up, "The time has come!" He shouted looking out as I turned looking at the Sith followers making me pant as they knelt down to us. "With your hatred, you will take my life along with Palpatine." He said as I turned around to face them.
"And you will ascend." He said looking down at me as I spoke up, "All you want is for me to hate, but I won't." I spoke sharply but calmly as I shook my head at him. "Not even you." I said as he grimaced at me. "Weak. Like your parents." He spit at me as I looked up at him.
"My parents were strong. They saved me from you." I said calmly thinking of my parents to calm myself. "Your Master, Luke Skywalker, was saved by his father. The only family you have here......is me." He said as I kept my eyes on him keeping my head held up.
I hear something open above us as I turned to look up seeing the ceiling open. I glanced at Cirillo and at the fleet and the Resistance. I breathed heavily seeing the ships get destroyed as tears began to well in my eyes. "They don't have long." He said as I continue to see the ships get destroyed in front of me.
"No one is coming to help them. And you are the one who led them here." He said as I felt myself shake as I realize it was my fault that Poe, Finn and Rey might be getting hurt. "Strike me down. Take the throne, Reign over the new Empire and the fleet will be yours."
"Only you have the power to save them." He said as I began to pant watching them fall and die. "Refuse, and your new family dies." He finished as I clenched my jaw continued to look up and I looked down feeling the pressure and wanting to keep my family safe.
I slowly turned to him as my lip quivered slightly and I nodded softly. "Good." He said as he backed up and leaving me in the middle alone. "The ritual begins!" He shouted as the others began to chant behind me.
"She will strike me down and pledge herself as a Sith." He said lowering himself to my level and I looked around hearing the chanting. I looked at him, "She will draw her weapon." He said as I lifted my arm and grabbed the saber and put my arm down by my side, igniting it. "She will come to me." He said as I shakily stepped towards him as I looked to the side as I continued to walk towards him.
The more I got closer the more I panted and shook in fear, "She will take her revenge." He said as I slowly moved towards him shaking a little and fear possessed me.
"And with a stroke of her saber the Sith are reborn!" He shouts as I get closer until I stop and lift the saber up as I tense in fear as I look at him. "The Jedi are dead!" He shouts making me flinch in my spot as I see Ben appear in front of me. I feel the tears in my eyes quickly fall.
His appearance makes me whimper seeing him bruised and bloody. But just seeing him, feeling his presence makes me slowly calm down. I sniffed feeling another tear fall down my cheek as I nodded slightly at him whilst he nods at me making me sigh in relief.
"Do it!" I hear faintly as I keep my eyes on Ben and looking at Cirillo. "Make the sacrifice!" He shouts as I lifted the saber over my shoulder and behind my back as I see him close his eyes, I breathed in sharply as the saber disappeared out of my hand as I slowly put my empty hand down as I smirked at him.
I quickly grab Leia's saber from behind me, quickly ignited it as I glared at Cirillo. They pulled back, I see the guards walk towards me. I looked around swinging my saber expertly as they got closer. One shot at me first and I waved my hand making it it him instead and I deflected a shot.
I deflected the shots as I turned and threw two of them as I waved my hand over them. I dodged their shots then I ran towards one of the guards quickly flipping over them impaling them through his back letting him fall.
I quickly turned to the last one and I see him being yanked back seeing Ben there making me sigh in relief. I stared at him as he did the same feeling an electrifying feeling around us, he walked up to me making me feel reassured. We turned to Cirillo and Palpatine putting our sabers up ready to fight side by side.
"Stand together, die together." He said pulling us in the air making us loose our grip on the sabers tossing them away. He pulled us forward in front of them on our knees. A power suddenly came out of Ben and I, into his hands. He grunted looking at his hands seeing them form his fingers.
"The lifeforce of your bond." He said making me grunt as I try to fight against his hold. "A dyad in the Force. A power like life itself." He explained as he looked down at us as I glare at him whilst in his hold.
"Unseen for generations." He said looking at Ben then at me, "And now the power of the two restores the one, true Emperor." He said as he lifts his hands towards us as I feel him taking something deep inside of us that keeps us connected.
I see the power coming out of us and entering him as he takes it greedily. I strain in my spot feeling it being ripped away from me. I shut my eyes and scream in pain feeling it leave me.
I continue to scream in pain as I tried breathing but finding it hard to. I feel the connection drain from me making me gasp as I no longer feel that power the as it was gone, I was met with blackness falling to my side.
