The story of Darth Plageus is not very well know.
People have allays had there own opinions to what happened.
"Ohh Palpatine was lying, he didn't really have healing powers."
Or "Palpatine didn't really kill his master."
So this is my story.
To understand this story, you have to know a little sith history... Back before the time of the Phantom Menace, or even the time of yoda.
Back before the rule of only 2 sith, one Master , one Apprentice. There were lots of sith, so many that the jedi were challenged for the right to the galaxy.
Many wars waged on and on in that time. Eventually the Jedi had thought that they had destroyed the sith for good.
But what really was going on was that, the sith had wised up; and realized they can't beat the Jedi with only numbers. So they developed their "only two sith" rule.
You will see later in my story why this is important.
Darth Plageus was visiting the small planet of Naboo. This of course is Palpatines home planet. Palpatine, just being a young boy, was still not sure who he was. Or what he was to become. Much like luke, he longed to be something more than just a farm boy.
When Palpatine was born, something wasn't right. His mother sensed that he was going to be very different from any other human in the galaxy. But little did she know that it was to be a role of tyranny and destruction.
Palpatine was 15 when he was discovered by Darth Plageus.
Darth Plageus was just leaving a meting with the Trade Federation representatives. When suddenly, Plageus was overcome by the feeling of another Sith. Plageus, knowing that it to be impossible, he ordered his apprentice Darth Morgal to see to the ship. While he investigated this strange power.
At first he didn't know what to think, He knew it was not a Jedi... He sensed that the power was fueled by a great hate for something pure.
He eventual found Palpatine, who had just run away from his home.
Palpatine was very often rejected by his mother and father. For being, malice, and cold hearted to the rest of his family. Palpatine had led a family member with false information leading to the family members death. He pleaded that he did not know what he had done. After that, he had no relationship with his parents. So he ran away from his home. Promising that he would have his revenge. He had such a hatred for them it fueled his power, even at a young age, to a power even greater than Plageous's apprentice's.
Plageus convinced Palpatine to leave his home planet and travel to Plageus's home on Eterous.
When Darth Morgal realized what was happening and new the rule of the sith. He tried to stop Plageus form bringing the boy with him.
Morgal tried to strike down the Palpatine with his Light Saber; but, being no match for Plageus, he was quickly stopped and defeated! Plageus had planned on killing Darth Morgal. So this worked out according to his plan.
Plageus and Palpatine traveled to Eterous. There he began to teach Palpatine the ways of the Dark Side of the force. From Plageus came the famous phrase "Treachery is the way of the sith". Plageus truly was the greatest sith to be. He taught Palpatine everything he knew. Everything except for Plageus's ability to control medaclorines.
After about...10 years of training, Plageus finally sent the newly named Darth Sidious. On his first mission. To find his own lightsaber crystal and construct his own light saber.
It took Darth Sidious 4 months to find his Red Light Saber crystal. But this wasn't a normal crystal, it was an abnormal strong one. Sidious, realizing the special nature of this. He hid it from his master. Instead he brought back a normal Saber crystal. And kept it secret form Plageus.
Very soon after that Plageus told Palpatine about his ability to heal, and his ability to control medaclorines.
Sidious, in his infinite circle of greed and hatred. Decided to go behind Plageus's back and start training an apprentice of his own. He did this because he knew he was not powerful enough to destroy Plageus by him self. So for about 3 years Sidous kept secret the evil plot he had to kill his master. Plageus being as powerful as he was, realized what was happening and confronted Sidous immediately. Sidous was prepared and had retrieved his secret saber crystal and with the help of his new apprentice; he thought they might stand a chance.
The saber fight was a blur of red! Slashes, and crackles of the light sabers smacking into eachother. Every advance Darth Sidious made was blocked by Plageus! Sidious couldn't land an attack. Nor could his apprentice.
finally...Plagues, tired of this endless saber battle, threw his light saber threw Darth sidious's apprentice!
So surprised by this move, Sidious didn't realize that he had an open shot at plageus.
But before he could do anything, Plageus had Sidous stopped in mid air.
Unable to move any part of his body, Sidious watched as Plageus used the force to mutilate is apprentice's body! Then Plageus slowly grasped the light saber with the force. Moved it towards him, and began to throw light saber at Sidious.
Sidious with all his strength and power into one HUGE lightning bolt of Force. It was so powerful that it shattered Plageus's lightsaber, and Threw him across the room threw the small wall and into the streets!
With out hesitation Sidous leaped into action, and removed Darth Plageus's Head with one quick movement of his light saber!
And thus was the beginning of Sidious's Terror.
And that is my version of THE TRAGEDY OF DARTH PLAGEUS THE WISE !
