Ch.2 - At The Other End
Meanwhile…in another world…a despicable world…of fire and burning and torment…a Sith remained. Yes, he was dead…and yes he was miserable, but he was not alone.
"It's your turn," the Sith grumbled to the once known Count Dooku.
"When has it ever been my turn?" he grumbled back, glancing down at his cards.
"Oh, I don't know! Always?" the Sith retorted.
"No! Never!" Dooku shouted throwing up his cards.
"Oh, you can't do that! Now I can see your cards! That's against the rules, darn you!" the Sith shouted, throwing up his cards.
"Oh…that was smooth," Dooku said, folding his arms.
"WHAT GAME ARE WE PLAYING ANYWAYS?" the enraged Sith shouted.
"I don't know! You made it up!" the also enraged Dooku shouted.
"Oh…that's right…I named it the 'If I could turn Anakin back to the dark side because he was so worth it and his stupid love relationship meant nothing, and it lasted not very long…and his stupid kids aren't very cool either and I just don't like him very much, but I really do because he's powerful and I need him, and we freakin' overtook the entire galaxy for the longest time, and now we stopped because "love" intervened…whatever! Card game," the Sith said calmly.
"Whoa," Dooku said, "How long did it take you to come up with that one?" he sneered.
"Shut up! If I still had my powers…I'd blow you up!" he said.
"WE'RE DEAD!" Dooku shouted.
"I KNOW!" the Sith shouted. Both of them turned away from each other and grumbled. This lasted quite some time, when suddenly an idea came to the Sith's head.
"I've got an idea!" he said…a blood red light bulb hovering above his head. Dooku raised an eyebrow.
"Really now?" he asked, scared of another card game title.
"Don't worry! It has nothing to do with cards!" he said.
"Oh! Do tell!" Dooku said, acting like an excited young child.
"Well…if I got Anakin to betray the ones he loved before, why can't I do it again?" he asked excited. Dooku shook his head.
"It's never gonna happen," he said.
"And why not?" Sith asked.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD! WHAT PART OF "D-E-A-D" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"Oh…right," Sith said.
"Jeez…" Dooku murmured.
"But," he said.
"Oh no," Dooku mumbled under his breath.
"No…no, don't get hopeless quite yet. What if I made him start to doubt his love for her…I mean, when he was living it only lasted about 3 years…or so, if you think about it," Sith said.
"I don't think so. It won't work," Dooku said confidently.
"And why not? Who's side are you on anyways?" Sith asked angrily.
"I'm sorry. I'm on your side, but if you take it with facts. Anakin was in love with Padme from the minute he laid eyes on her…that's 9 years old…which take you to 22 years old. That's about 13 years right there," he said.
"Grrr…YOU'RE NO HELP TO ME!" he said, storming off.
"FACE THE FACTS! THEY FOUND TRUE LOVE! YOU CAN'T MISTAKE THAT, EVEN IF IT DID LAST A SHORT TIME WHILE LIVING! They always had it in them…till the very end and even further than that. Never-ending," Dooku said.
"What makes you say that?" he asked, returning.
"Wouldn't Vader be here if they didn't?" he asked calmly and sincerely. The great and now powerless Sith could not answer. He had to examine it more closely. He knew Dooku was right, but he didn't want to….
"I'm going to think about this some more," he said walking off.
"Suit yourself, Sith, but you're going to find yourself right back here again," he said smiling.
"Eh," Sith said settling down near some pointy, blazing-hot rocks. The temperature meant nothing to him. He needed to think.
"It's your turn," the Sith grumbled to the once known Count Dooku.
"When has it ever been my turn?" he grumbled back, glancing down at his cards.
"Oh, I don't know! Always?" the Sith retorted.
