Tiberian comes from (Chancellor's last words)

The Ruse chancellor had been dealt with and for now Tiberian was satisfied. He was not going to waste his time, scouring the city for the real chancellor; he assumed that the Jedi had gotten him off the planet. Tiberian watched as his shuttle sliced through the cool Coruscant winds, Tiberian was en route to his last target.

"Commander Baan is haling us sir," reported the pilot.

"Patch it through," replied Tiberian seeing the hologram of his sith console appearing in front of him.

Vala immediately bowed her head to the Sith Warlord, "these damn Jedi, have barricaded, much of the temple my lord, more than two hundred escape pods and shuttles have left. Some twenty to Twenty Five Jedi Masters and Knights left the temple and engaged in battle with our forces. I presume that many more jedi are inside and that this is a desperate attempt to save both them and the temple. Coruscant police forces have also shown up but they have proven to be no match for the sith knights."

Tiberian stayed silent reflecting on this brief report. "You have done well Console Baan, I shall handle the barricade as well as the remaining Jedi masters and knights, deal with the police forces, I shall be arriving soon."

Vala gave the Sith Warlord a quick salute and a hearty, "yes sir," before her hologram faded.

"Ready guns we are going in hot," ordered Tiberian standing behind the pilot.

"Yes sir, guns are charged and we are locked," replied the co-pilot, the shuttle opened fire on the rows of police speeders and troopers that were advancing on Console Baan's position.

Tiberian chuckled watching many of the speeders explode, "continue airborne assault, I go on foot from here.” Without another word the sith warlord leapt out of his shuttle.

"The sith are pulling back!" cheered one human jedi knight as him and his remaining comrades watched Commander Baan's forces retreating to engage the capitol's police forces.
The Jedi knights and masters who decided to sacrifice their lives and remain to protect their sacred temple that represented their new jedi order were relieved that this brief but terrible ordeal was over.

"I feel something through the force its call is strong, but it masks itself in the shadows," commented one Twilek Jedi Master.

"Look up!" shouted one frantic jedi knight.
The masters and knights looked up to their disbelief to see something was plummeting towards them, it was in fact the new sith warlord Tiberian Coale. His hands were stretched looking like wings, the jedi watched awestruck as the sith warlord descended towards them, the ground began trembling as the sith lord drew closer.

When Tiberian's feet touched the ground, the area around him burst into flames igniting a handful of jedi knights. Whose screams were loud and piercing, they were running around desperate to douse the flames.

A Purple haze rose in one hand and in the other silver fire, the sith lord was outnumbered twenty to one, the odds did not faze him. He stood quite still and calm examining the remaining jedi knights and masters who were frantically regrouping.

The Jedi master’s having decided it best to approach the Sith Warlord as the glimpses of Green and Blue Lightning began to enclose around him.

Tiberian’s gaze was not at the surrounding jedi but at the temple, which represented all of the corruption and the power that the Jedi had held in the Republic for so many millenias. The sight of this temple infuriated Tiberian, further feeding Tiberian’s strength through the force.

"So it seems that the Sith have survived their cursed cycle of death," remarked one snobby Jedi master.

The Jedi Knights and Masters had surrounded Tiberian, in a tight circle, they thought that this would give them the advantage, but they were oh so wrong.

"The life and lies of the Jedi will end here with my sabers. To long have the Jedi suckled upon the wealth of the Republic and her core-worlds while my people have to scratch the back of rocks just to survive!" shouted Tiberian in an intimidating voice.

"The sith will never be welcomed here, violence and greed will never be accepted as the way of life in the heart of the Republic," replied another Jedi Master sternly.

"That is when we agree Jedi; your precious republic shall be cast down while my new sith Empire shall rise from the ashes such as Sidious before me. Temples of Sith shall stand tall in the Core-Worlds, while your way of life fades into extinction!" proclaimed Tiberian loudly.

"Bold plans for a leader of a people who turn on themselves quicker than their enemies," commented an arrogant sounding Jedi Master.

The Jedi Knights and Masters took another step coming closer to the Sith Warlord, the blue and green sabers were slowly trying to suffocate the silver and purple fires of the sith warlord.

"Oh no you see the Sith have changed! It is unfortunate that you will not be present to see how far my people have come," said Tiberian flashing the Jedi a grin.

Before any of the Jedi could counter with a rebuttal or react, Tiberian stabbed his sabers into the ground, powerful tremors ripped through the concrete courtyard of the Temple causing many Jedi to lose their balance.

In another flash Tiberian pulled out his blue and orange sabers hurling both of them in the air, the sabers cut through the air as well as two very surprised Twilek Jedis.

Two Jedi knights approached the unarmed Sith Warlord.

Tiberian smiled at the boldness of these two jedi knights, extending his hands as the Jedi's green sabers were yanked from their grasp. Tiberian then used the force to snap the sabers in half before crumbling them into shrapnel, which was hurled into the chests of the two Jedi Knights.

A Jedi Master charged Tiberian with his blue saber held high, Tiberian grabbed the hand of the Jedi master that was holding his saber with a quick flick Tiberian snapped the jedi’s arm. The Jedi Master screamed hearing the bones in his arm break but his screams were soon muffled when Tiberian pushed the jedi’s saber into his mouth.

Tiberian dropped his latest jedi victim, his body fell onto the ground with a moderate sounding thud, Tiberian looked around to see that ten jedi were remaining.

These Jedi knights and Masters were in disarray upon seeing their fallen comrades slain bodies all around them. But their years of discipline allowed them to quell any grief or frustrations that they felt, refocusing their attention on the one all responsible for this destruction. The towering unarmed Sith stranger was standing in front of them, daring the jedi to charge him but the jedi didn’t take the bait, noticing hovering purple and red fires glowing in the distance, ready to strike any one foolish enough to attack.

"The sith have changed," muttered one Jedi master, he sounded defeated and tired.

"Yes we have in many ways, we are now better then the Jedi could ever dream to be. I will not have the archives show that I executed all of the Jedi. In many of the worlds I have conquered, I have been called Tiberian the Tolerant but as long as you remain Jedi, you are my enemy and you shall be hunted down and punished. However if you forsake your training and accept the ways of the Sith, your lives shall be spared," proposed Tiberian.

The Jedi Masters did not know what was more surprising, this sith thinking or believing that they would change or the mere fact that he was willing to spare their lives if they did convert. Leading them to suspect that this was a trap, they were sadly mistaken. "No we will nev-" but the Jedi Master was cut off he began choking violently.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk Jedi arrogance that I am sad to report will not be tolerated in my new empire," announced Tiberian holding the jedi master in a force vice grip, upon hearing the crackling of the bones in the Jedi’s' throat, Tiberian released him.

"Nine more enemies of the Sith to go, who shall be first?" asked a toying Tiberian.

The Jedi did not reply to the sith lord’s goading. They closed their eyes trying to escape from the suffocating darkness of Tiberian, trying to recover their strength, so that they could focus their energy on thwarting him. However none of them were strong enough, not even together to stop him, but this revelation did not deter the jedi who were determined to stop this threat.

Together they concentrated their minds, rallying their strength together as one; they unleashed a powerful push through the force towards Tiberian.

Tiberian nearly stifled a yawn at the pending jedi strike, lazily flicking his hand, calming the force weave which approached him. My turn, Tiberian thought with a smile, raising his hand, going deep within the force, he summoned dozens of fireballs which began to appear, each one the size of a republic battle helmet.

The Jedi Masters lost count on how many fireballs the Sith Warlord had summoned, they looked up in fear and awe at the now glowing wave of fire.

Tiberian smiled, "a light for the darkness to come." The wave of fire came crashing down onto the knights and masters. The knights were quickly devoured while the remaining Masters were able to conjure force barriers but these seemed to only prolong their death by a few seconds before being engulfed by the fire with the last Jedi Master perishing in the courtyard the fire vanished.

The Jedi Temple had once again fallen to the sith, the second time in a hundred years.


Console Baan approached her friend, having seen the impressive display that her leader had shown through the force. The wave of fire was something that Vala had never seen Tiberian do, but she had heard rumors of him using it. Vala stopped, kneeling down examining one of the charred corpses of the jedi.

“Foolish enough to resist me,” Tiberian commented plainly sensing his friend’s presence, he turned to greet her.

Vala immediately stood up, "The police forces have been dealt with my lord."

"Good, you will find the temple is now open, Vala escort all remaining Jedi into the Nadd, those who resist simply stun them, they shall make good Sith knights. Load the archives of the Jedi, I want the databases and archives delivered to my citadel," ordered Tiberian.

Vala bowed her head leading her forces into the temple to follow her master's orders.

Tiberian waited less than a half an hour before seeing Vala and her forces return escorting dozens of Jedi younglings and younger knights as well as carrying the archives and databases of the Jedi Temple.

"As you can see my lord, all is done," reported Vala stopping a few feet in front of Tiberian.

"Good, you have a battle to win. You are now needed at home Commander Baan. Inform Craygen that the sith Armada may engage with the republic forces but remind him of what is expected of him," ordered Tiberian.

"Gladly sir" said Vala smiling, "but if I may be bold my lord, what of you?"

A grin slowly stretched onto Tiberian's face, "I am expecting company." Without another word, Tiberian climbed the smoldering steps of the jedi temple.

Vala watched Tiberian for a moment, after serving with him for all these years, she still was impressed with the skill that he displayed especially when he made it look so effortless. Vala knew that even though Tiberian would not show it, that this was one of his crowning achievements in his short life. Though Vala also knew that her friend had quite the drive, this one assault would be unable to quench his thirst.

The Jedi Temple had fallen and was now under the thumb of Tiberian Coale, the sith had killed almost a hundred Jedi and captured another hundred.

The Jedi were drowning in a growing pool of shadow.

There seemed to be no light for the Jedi, no hope, no leader for them to rally behind, this was never to be a war but a bloodbath.

The Sith had done what no army has been capable of doing, bringing a war, a battle into the heart of the Republic and with the temple abandoned, and parts of Coruscant in flames, it seemed that for the moment nothing could stop Tiberian and his armies.
