"Very well done my Apprentice, sharp eye for detail," said Alric looking at Sable before answering her previous question. "Yes we are allowed to place them under arrest and take them back to Coruscant, but it would be highly frowned upon if he was found innocent and we would have to give him a formal appology."
Alric looked back to the king, he was getting rather uptight for a simple situation. "So for the matter of this investigation what was the cause of the princess' death, and what were you speaking to her about that had you so flustered?" asked Alric cautiously as he calmly ran a hand through his hair seeming not one bit bothered by any of this. "King Danzala, If I had come here to arrest you I would have done so already, now if you would cooperate this would be much smoother and possibly be done by now."
'He's definately hiding something,' thought Alric to himself as he reached out with the force to touch the surface thoughts of Danzala, perhaps it would help understand just what he was worried about. He seemed overtly neverous about something...

"Well what do you want from me?" He asked. "Lack of cameras isn't difinitive evidence of anything..."
"I want the Pen, Danzala..." She told him
"The pen?" he asked. And subconsiously he reached for his chest where Grace had stabbed him, it was how he gathered that memory.
"Yes, that one..." She said with a smirk. "The one that has your blood on it that was left in Grace's room the night she died..."
"What!? You little bitch! Wallace, I want these Jedi taken in, report that they were killed by....hmmm...sith..." he growled. Danzala didn't realize it, but his blond playboy facade went down, and everyone around him could see his natural dark hair and wrinkled face. Lord Frost was along them.
Wallace did a force flip, and swung at Sable's legs with his violet lightsaber. The girl was just a padawan and was more here for neutrality and her intelligence than her fighting style. It happened so fast, she hoped Alric would protect her. Interesting though, when Wallace connected, her lightsaber was ignited and blocking it.
She shook her head, not knowing what had guided her if it wasn't the force. Danzala did a crazy swirling jump at Alric, and attacked him with both his lightsaber and Princess Grace's.
Soft foot steps approached, and another violet lightsaber ignited. Danzala stopped mid swing when he sensed her, and glared up at his sister. The one family member who survived. With this new evidence against him, she would become the queen if she lived.
"It's over brother... I can't believe you killed our little cousin in cold blood... PEOPLE OF PANATHA! LOOK AT YOUR HUMBLE KING NOW! HE IS A SITH! HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF OUR KING!"
"Men, fire at the traitor!" Wallace commanded, pointing at Emma.
"Which one, sir?" The leader asked, pointing his blaster right at Wallace.

While watching the whole argument between the two factions Sam began to draw his own conclusion and agenda, if he were to help the King of Panatha than he would sure be in his doubt and one step closer in finding his sister but could he trust Sith. On the other hand he could be i good graces with the Jedi but gain nothing. Sam just hung there thinking upon both choices ahead of him, the girl holding her ground against the man named Wallace reminded him of his sister Sera of her recklessness and eagerness for battle.
Dame, I've only a few seconds to decide, side with the Sith or Jedi, dame it. Sam spoke under his breath, Sam drew his blaster pistol while hanging on the pipe and aimed it at the King. As he did a new face appeared and spoke with authority to the party and confirmed that he is of the Sith and a traitor to the people of Panatha. That was all Sam needed he levelled his blaster at Danzala and slowly pulled back the trigger, the sound of the blaster going off would surely reveal his position. The blaster bolt aiming the forehead of Danzala.
Immediately followed Sam lets go of the pipe he was hanging from and gracefully lands on his feet and directs his attention to the Jedi his gaze aimed at Sable while having his blaster aimed at Wallace. We don't have time for this get the Princess out of here I'll hold off Wallace. Sam sweeps his belt swiftly pressing a button on his belt, it acted as a warning if Sam would not be on board the Red Sun in the next thirty minuets leave without him. Head to the docking bay 34D the Red Sun will take you to safety.
Sam shifts his eyes to meet Wallace's then spoke It's over surrender and we promise you a fair trial.
Red Sun the Crew of the Red Sin got the signal to depart in thirty minutes, of coause Duncan and Khelgar were opposed to leave Sam behind, when Qara spoke up Well if he sent the signal it means he was weak. Naturally no one liked the way Qara spoke, but they didn't like disobeying a direct order either.

Things had taken a turn for the worse. It turned out their being here hadn't just been a routine check into a government's dealings during the Empire. Many systems were guilty of having done questionable things during that period but his home had stunk of Darkness well before he laid his feet upon it. There had been a part of him that had hoped that his senses were wrong, but they rarely were. That sense of impending danger lead him to draw upon the force. Danzala blade met air as Alric flipped over him landing near the throne still facing Danzala.
"I'll give you this warning once, you are under arrest. Give yourself up and you will receive a fair trial, I can't promise the same if you resist..." said Alric. Danzala deflected a blaster bolt right at him and Alric's lightsaber flew two his hand. The blade shot out just in the nick of time as he deflected it away from himself off to the side wall. Drawing on the force he prepared himself, for combat as the princess arrived. Unforunate, he thought to himself. He would have rathered she stayed out of anything that might implicate her as power hungry to her people though if she was completely innocent perhaps the people might see this.
"Firing on a Republic representative is a crime. I'd advise against that course of action," warned Alric as he moved foward his lightsaber blade pointing in low and arcing from his stance. "Sable flank him.... We'll take him together if need be."

Danzala reached up and grabbed Sam with the force, and threw him head first at Alric. Sable, seeing this, caught Sam, and set him down safely on the ground. Danzala shot a force lightning at Sam and Sable blocked it with her lghtsaber and was thrown back and had to put on the brakes with her feet, but the young man was spared. "Get out of here you idiot!" She told him. Wallace impaled his own guard leader with the lightsaber, and the rest of the guards seemed to take this as an example.
"Now stop questioning my authority...I am an Epicanthix General, and you will shoot these Jedi like dogs!"
"Wait!" Emma called. Danzala lifted his hand up, and everyone stopped.
"Danzala... Jedi... This is an internal matter... These are my terms, with you Jedi as our witness. My family has no business running this planet anymore. We've lost our integrity. I did not intentionally kill my father, but I am too weak to rule. Danzala on the other hand, is just a tyrant. Danzala and I are going to fight. If he wins, he keeps the planet and I am once again exiled. And if he loses, then I use my authority as queen to shift the government to democracy, and Danzala is exiled."
"I accept..." Danzala told her.

Sable was able to handle herself quite well for a padawan. Most apprentices he knew couldn’t stop something like a force lightning with their lightsaber, it required concentration for most that could. That and her quick reaction to Sam being thrown at him, he saw she was already at the level where she could be a Jedi Knight of her own. Possibly even take on a padawan. He wondered why she wasn’t already. Brushing that thought aside for a moment he deactivating his blue lightsaber.
“You understand that if you loose than Danzala here will have won just more than his planet. He will have made you suffer, and the people will believe his lies. You’re taking a great risk here, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly,” said Alric walking over to where Wallace was giving him a cursory glance before looking back at the battlefield. “Very well, if you win Danzala will be taken to Coruscant and tried for war crimes. Along with Mr Wallace here, since he is the… General did you say?”
Alric looks at Wallace for a moment and then back to Danzala and Emma. “If Danzala wins, you will leave an exile and our report to the republic will withhold any judgment on the case of the royal family…”
Despite his urge to destroy the corruption here, he’d let the will of the force play out. He just hoped Emma remembered not to rely on her emotions, she could easily fall to the darkside here, and… Alric Dysar did not want to have to destroy her as well.

The force lightning Danzala had tossed had been fairly rudimentary, but even he was impressed with the girl's ability to stop it. "I'm going to up the anti, Jedi..." Danzala told Alric.
"If she wins, I will impale myself and become one with the force, as will Wallace. And I will make sure before hand that my people know the truth about Emma, so that she can serve as a reliable queen. I don't hate my sister, she was collateral damage in a war against the main family..."
"And if you win, Dan?" Emma asked.
"If I win... I keep my throne, my planet, and the male Jedi leaves and never comes back. And, the female Jedi comes with me... to serve at my side."
Sable looked up at Alric, to see what he thought of these terms. She didn't outright refuse, but she was unsure. But she stepped forward and spoke.
"Danzala... you and Wallace do not have to impale yourselves, there is still a life for you if you give yourselves up... maybe the council will understand your strife. But, if Emma's victory offers her the rule she deserves, and the respect of her people, then I accept your terms..."
Emma was quiet.

After being thrown around like a rag doll from hell ad nearly being electrocuted by some pompous ass, Sam has and enough of this guy. While getting to his feet and having his blaster ready he spoke to the "king" You know I find it rather insulting that no one asked my opinion on the matter and further more. Sam shifted his attention to Sable No force user shall tell me what to do. Sam had to convince the Princess and her guard to leave. Sam shifted his attention to the Princess and spoke trying to convince her to leave Emma is it, if you were to fight him and win he will become a martyr to the people of Panatha and the people will resent you throughout your rule, but if he beats you he would not only gain an apprentice but the rule of Panatha either way this game is rigged. I understand your motivation in this but this is a time to fight and this is not the time.

Alric smiled at the King’s comment about becoming one with the force. Dark Jedi or Sith hardly became ‘one’ with the force. He’d have to educate him a little on the subject of the force. He obviously had some training in the force but perhaps it was incomplete… No jedi would train a King to be a force user. Jedi were above station and possession.
“Perhaps you’ve heard the term somewhere before, but only the most advanced Jedi are able to obtain peace with the force… Dark Jedi and Sith alike however are doomed to never achieve this state of being. Their essence is doomed to the Void… some who have studied this aspect call it… ‘Dark Side Hell.’”
He looked over at Sam for a moment and wondered at the man’s hatred for force sensitives. Perhaps there was an underlying message he wasn’t reading off the man. “We’ll never force you to comply Sir, please I’m not sure exactly why you are here or why you attacked the King but let this matter be decided,” said Alric before looking back to his apprentice. Outwardly he seemed indifferent to the fact that it was the ante.
‘Nothing will happen to you,’ thought Alric sending the message through the force. ‘I promise.’

Emma listened to what Sam had to say, and she nodded. "But the guards and the Jedi are here, and they can validate the truth. The fact of the matter is, Danzala murdered Gracie, and then he controlled Clarkson and myself and made us kill the rest of them. You'll see him walk away from the camera...who does that, just moments before people die? Why would I kill my family when I know there are cameras?" She asked. "I don't need Danzala to validate my claims, but if he does, we can lay this to rest...I'm sorry that one of the jedi order has to put her neck on the line though..."

When the elder Jedi spoke to Sam ensuring that they would not force him to do anything, he acknowledges what Alric said and if these two were really Jedi then they would keep their promise, however Dark Jedi have the reputation to manipulate who ever they come in contact with Sam would have to remain on his guard. Getting back to the matter at hand he could see that Emma was starting to see the other side of the coin, he continued to talk to her without losing eye contact with the others And he shall pay for his betrayal but this is not the time. Show the people of Panatha what their King has done and he can no longer hide from his crimes, further more a greater evil may reveal it self instead it creeping up behind you.
With only twenty minuets to go till Duncan left without him, time was running out he had to make the Princess flee.

"Danzala is a Sith." Sable told him. "Why do you think the guards follow him despite his obvious corruption? They're scared of him... If he loses, they will side with Emma... I can feel it..."
"Are you ready Sister?" Danzala asked her.
"Yes..." She said, quaintly. The guards and Sable all moved out of the way. The battlefield consisted of a staircase up to Danzala's throne, as well as the King's court. There were a number of pillars that could be used for cover as well. Wallace stood at the top of the stairs, to make sure no bias would occur from the Jedi or this idiot Sam. He glared at the boy, figuring Master Alric already knew not to interfere.
Sable did the same as Wallace. No interference was going to be tolerated.
Danzala threw his King's robe to the side, and tore off his shirt, fighting her in his royal pants and barechested. He was intimidating, because despite his wrinkled dark face, his ripped physuque had never been a facade. His core was sick, and his body fat percentage was about 5 or 6.
Emma threw down her dark cloak, and swung her lightsaber around.
Danzala made the first move, testing her spirits by trying to control her mind. She felt him at her spine, and started to grab her head. "Now stab yourself sister..." he told her "...just like you stabbed the rest of our family..."
Emma was clearly having an internal struggle. Her brother's words inside her brain...were almost too much to avoid tearshed. Her eyes were growing watery, and she deactivated her lightsaber, holding the part where the beam came out to her chest, but not activating the button. She used every ounce of strength to hold that button closed.
"You're so weak..." he told her, walking forward, and swinging around his two blades. She saw him approaching, but she was immobilized by fear.
"Do I really need to kill you Emma?' he asked her. He casted a force bolt at her, which threw her down the court into one of the marble pillars, cracking it. She was down, panting on her hands and knees.
"You... you will if you want to keep that throne..." She struggled, coughing up blood.
"Very well... you want a noble death on your own planet then?" he asked. He let down his guard for a moment, and threw his head back into a cackle.
"No you fucker! I want you to pay for Gracie's death!" She growled, as she tossed her blade, igniting it as it left her finger tips. The blade would have cut both of his feet off if it hit, but he managed to side step most of it, and instead it just clipped about fifteen percent of one leg. This caused Danzala to scream horribly, and he caught her lightsaber before it could fly back to her. He now had three purple lightsabers, two in his hands, and one flying around menacingly above him. It seemed that he'd concentrated too much on controlling her actions.
"Come on Danzala, can't you kill anyone on your own?" Emma taunted. "...Oh that's right, you killed a small little defenseless woman... you're a real class act..." She told him.
Danzala charged up a powerful force lightning, and shot her with it. Emma took it in the hand, and felt it course down through her body. But she had control of it. She acted like it was really zapping her, but sublty, she brought it down, through her belly, and up through the other arm.
Danzala was laughing yet again at the pathetic bitch, and he let down his lightsabers in overconfidence. He charged up the lightning and strengthened it. This would be his undoing. She redirected his own attack at him, and the King was set flying backwards into his own throne, toppling it over.
"Holy shit..." Wallace gasped. Emma flew up those stairs almost as fast as Danzala had, and she retrieved her weapon from him, as well as Gracie;s lightsaber, which had a distinctive "g" carved into it's hilt. She held the blades to his throat.
"Get out of here Danzala..." She told him. "... leave and never come back...If I ever see you here in my throne room again, I'll Ughhhhhhhhh...ughhh..."
She was being controlled by Wallace, who didn't want to die just because his master was defeated. He had her in a force choke, with his blade ready in his metal hand.
"New agreement...I exile both of you and I take the throne..." He told her, as he stuck the blade through her back. She faded out. "...or I could just kill you, my sweet queen...Lets see...I'm the oldest child of the second branch family, and my parents are dead...guess what that makes me, Danzala!?"
He lifted his former master off the ground, and punched him in the face with his heavy iron arm. The impacts was grotesque and fractured his skull. if he hadnt braced for it with the force, he would have been unconscious by now. That metal arm was the replacement for one that Danzala himself had cut off. "I'm King now, motherfucker!"
"E-Emma..." Danzala gasped, looking down at her. "No! EMMA! You piece of shit!"
Danzala pushed Wallace back with a force push that knocked the wind out of him before he even left the ground. And when he did leave the ground, Danzala turned back to the Jedi. His face was deformed and he was blind in one eye, shaken by his own powerful lightning.
"I am a Jedi..." Danzala told Alric. "I am a Jedi and I'll prove it..."
He sat down at his sister's side, placed his hands on her chest, and sent a glowing energy into her. His body began to disappear. As he forced the last of his life energy into Emma, her blade wound, which wasn't anywhere major anyway, just through her side, began to seal up and heal perfectly. Once Danzala was gone, Emma began to stir. But so did Wallace.
"Danzala..." She said softly.
"I had to..." His voice stirred. "...and I'm sorry..."
Danzala's force ghost appeared before them.
"Wallace, that's enough."
"Fuck you! I'll kill the stupid whore myself!" he growled.
"Men, your queen is in danger!" Sable reminded them.
The guards opened fire on Wallace and pelted him with blaster bolt after blaster bolt, and he fell over and landed on his face.

Alric watched for the third time in his life it seemed like the force physically entervined to determine a specific outcome no matter what the odds it seemed like against it. He was about to raise his blade in defense of the queen against Wallace but her troopers managed to take care of him fairly quickly.
"You see? Patience sometimes is the best option," said Alric to his apprentice looking over to Emma and then to the force ghost that was Danzala. He was saddened that it had to have come to violence but perhaps it couldn't be helped. At least Danzala had been given the oportunity to redeem himself even if it was last minute.
"Perhaps the histories don't have to be as cruel... if I might suggest, that Wallace seemed to be trained in the dark arts and perhaps could have influenced the royal family," said Alric knowing if the public knew the truth well they would probably just think the royal family had been breeded down into killing lunatics. Hopefully Emma could make them love her again, and she would have to work on obtaining an heir. No doubt by the end of the week she'd have a dozen proposals ready for her. He grinned at that thought, at least something pleasant would come out of this.
"Now my apprentice I know this might seem a bit quick but you managed to hold yourself well and your inquisitive skills were optimal. Don't take this lightly or as me just pushing you off to get rid of a padawan as quickly as possible, but I'm going to recommend the Council Knight you. We need more Knights of your Caliber to help the republic rebuild and the Jedi rebuild," said Alric placing two hands on sables shoulders grinning. "And with that out of the way, we just got here under two hours ago and have already completed our mission, i'd say that warrents some sight seeing, and perhaps a few days rest to ensure the transfer of power goes smoothly. That is if her highness will have us."

Sable didn't know what to say. She turned away, red faced. She'd only done what she thought was right. But then, her eighteenth birthday was soon, maybe becoming a Knight was proper at her age. "You think too highly of me... but, it brings me happiness..."
"Majesty." One of the guards corrected. "...Her proper title is Majesty." He told the Jedi Master.
Emma got up on to her own too legs, still breathing hard. She stumbled and waddled over to the stairs, crawling up them awkwardly, but proudly. When she got to the top, one of the guards helped lift up the throne her redirected lightning had knocked over, and she sat down in it, exhausted. Sable smiled up at her, but the new queen fell asleep in the throne. She'd been waiting for this for over a year, and to finally be absolved of her status as an exile, to be allowed on her own planet? That's all she really wanted.
Danzala's ghost turned to Alric. "I am to blame for my own actions... I had ideals, and those ideals turned into a lust for power. But i gave up too much for that power. I gave up my entire family, except for Emma...and when I saw her laying there, I thought she was dead... something snapped inside me... a light I haven't felt since King Atticus' last training session with me in the ways of the Jedi. I thank you Jedi..." he told him. "...Your apprentice is quite smart...." he said, before he faded away.
Sable frowned at this. "He was probably in so much pain..." She told Alric. "...my brother... he tried to kill me. I wonder...had he succeeded, would he have ended up like Danzala?"

Sam holsters his pistol and Patiently awaits for the duel between siblings was concluded, as the two apparent force users duke it out the old fashioned way. Sam could understand the need to protect her people of Panatha but this is not the way. When the fight started and already Sam felt this fight was one way, and yet predictable seeing Danzala abusing the force to get Emma to kill her self, this was one of many reasons why Sam disliked force users though he was impressed in how strong willed Emma was to over come Danzala's cheap tricks.
Once Wallace stepped in Sam was ready to blast his full of holes when the Queens defences did his job for him. Cutting it close to get off the planet with only 10 minuets till the Red Sun leaves, You three call this a victory, victory is not achieved by slaughtering everyone you come across. Emma you remind me of my sister Sera always thinking meeting aggression with aggression is the right course of action. As Sam was leaving the throne room he briefly stops to say one last thing having his back turned to them I hope all this was worth it Queen. and with that he was off making his way to the Red Sun.
Sam took his seat next to Duncan and prepped the ship to leave without say a word, Duncan knew where he wanted to go and sets course for Thule.
