Crimson Conquest: A Sith's Rise

Chapter 21: Clash of Titans

Talon's voice filled with concern as she sensed the disturbance in the Force. She called Y/n to her side and shared her insights.

Talon: Y/n, I sense Maul's presence. He wants to lure you to Darth Sidious. Be cautious.

Y/n listened intently, his determination unwavering.

Y/n: I will go and see what Sidious wants. Don't worry, I'll be careful.

Talon embraced him tightly, her love evident in her touch.

Talon: Please, be safe. I cannot bear the thought of losing you.

Y/n reciprocated the affection, kissing her passionately before setting off on his mission. He contacted Talon telepathically as he followed Maul's trail.

Y/n: Talon, I'm on Bespin. Maul is here, and he wants to take me to Sidious. I'll proceed but stay connected.

Talon acknowledged the update, her voice filled with concern.

Talon: Be cautious, my love. I will be with you in the Force.

Y/n trailed Maul to a deserted area on Coruscant, where Maul landed his ship. Y/n approached cautiously, lightsabers at the ready.

Y/n: Maul, what is this about?

Maul turned to face him, his gaze tinged with fear.

Maul: There is no need for a fight, assassin. I only wish to take you to my master, Darth Sidious. He wishes to speak with you.

Y/n studied Maul carefully, sensing the mix of fear and uncertainty within him.

Y/n: Lead the way, but remember, I am always prepared.

Maul nodded and proceeded to his ship. Y/n contacted Talon telepathically, maintaining their connection.

Y/n: Talon, I'm following Maul to Sidious. Stay vigilant.

Talon's voice resonated with concern and love.

Talon: Y/n, be careful. Remember, I am here for you, always.

Arriving at their destination, Maul motioned for Y/n to wait while he went to fetch Sidious. Y/n maintained his telepathic communication with Talon, keeping her informed of the situation.

Y/n: Talon, I am here, waiting. Stay connected. I can feel the darkness surrounding us.

Talon: I am with you, my love. Stay focused and alert.

Moments later, Sidious arrived, dismissing Maul. Y/n greeted Sidious respectfully but with a hint of mystery.

Y/n: Supreme Chancellor Sidious, what a pleasure to meet you.

Sidious's eyes narrowed, sensing the unexpected greeting.

Sidious: How do you know who I truly am?

Y/n smirked beneath his mask, reveling in the intrigue.

Y/n: I have my ways, Chancellor. Secrets I'm sure you would love to uncover.

Sidious's caution grew, and he probed further.

Sidious: How were you able to defeat Grievous and Dooku without any discernible Force signature?

Y/n chuckled, teasing Sidious with his response.

Y/n: Ah, Chancellor, that's a secret I'm afraid you'll have to discover in due time.

Sidious frowned, his patience waning.

Sidious: I have an offer for you, Sith assassin. Join me as my apprentice, and together, we will shape the galaxy.

Y/n telepathically shared the offer with Talon, their bond strengthening.

Talon's voice echoed in his mind, filled with love and determination.

Talon: Remember, my love, your loyalty lies with me. You have a greater purpose.

Y/n declined Sidious's offer, his voice firm and resolute.

Y/n: I am not interested in being your apprentice, Chancellor. My master surpasses you in strength and wisdom (To Talon only through their bond:) and is georgous.

Sidious's anger surged, unleashing a barrage of lightning upon Y/n. However, Y/n effortlessly absorbed the onslaught, surprising Sidious.

Sidious: Impossible! How can you absorb my power?

Y/n's voice held a sense of calm and confidence.

Y/n: Your power is insignificant compared to what I have faced and conquered.

As Sidious ignited his lightsabers, Y/n followed suit, engaging in a fierce lightsaber duel that shook their surroundings. Y/n maintained his telepathic connection with Talon, sharing glimpses of their battle.

Y/n: Talon, I face Sidious in combat. He underestimates my power.

Talon's voice resonated with love and concern.

Talon: Be strong, my love. Remember our bond.

The battle raged on for what felt like an eternity, their lightsabers clashing and sparking. Y/n skillfully evaded Sidious's strikes while landing precise blows of his own. As exhaustion weighed upon Sidious, Y/n pressed forward with unwavering determination.

Y/n: You have been beaten, Sidious!

Talon sensed Y/n's triumph through their connection, her heart swelling with pride and joy.

Talon: Y/n, you are magnificent! Scar him for life! Make him remember your victory!

With a final strike, Y/n severed Sidious's arm, causing him to fall to the ground, defeated.

Y/n: You have lost, Sidious. Now, live with the knowledge of your failure.

Sidious growled in frustration and called upon Maul for assistance, while Y/n prepared to depart.

Y/n: Talon, I have done what needed to be done. Sidious is defeated, but we must remain vigilant.

Talon's voice resonated with admiration and relief.

Talon: I am proud of you, my love. Return to us safely.

Y/n boarded his ship, leaving Corusant behind as he embarked on his journey back to the base of operations on Dathomir. Once there, he was welcomed by Barris, concerned for his well-being.

Barris: Y/n, are you alright? We were worried.

Y/n reassured her, a smile in his voice.

Y/n: I'm fine, Barris. Thank you for your concern.

Talon approached, her embrace filled with love and relief.

Talon: My love, you have triumphed. I knew you could.

Y/n smiled beneath his mask, grateful for Talon's unwavering support.

As they celebrated their victory, their alliance grew stronger, their eyes set on the battles that lay ahead.

(For any of you wondering why Y/n beat Sidious without breaking a sweat, basically since Y/n was still hiding his true force signature, so Sidious underestimated Y/n :), its not like we're ridiculously overpower, just Sidious was overconfident in his own ability)

(Anyways, back from Vacation lads, it was pretty good, anyways there is the new chapter and gonna continue uploading normally once again. (Btw for those who actually care and want to know I've been to Crete))
