《The War of our Stars (SWTOR Fan fiction)》


 Sith Academy (I) Korriban

    Birth


    I remember the life before this one, I was defenestrated, but not without fatally wounding the one that did so.


    Well, he hurt my Sister, so, I guess it was justified?


    But, here I am now.


    Just born, I can see a young girl next to me and an elderly man in front of me.


    I wonder who this old man is, his face is horribly deformed and he reeks of death.....


    Five Years of Age


    Well, about five years have passed, turns out the old man was my Grandfather.


    Also, this is a pretty strange world......


    I''ve found myself.....


    In the Univer- No....


    Galaxy of Star Wars....


    My Grandfather is the Sith Lord Zavan, a Marauder known for slaying several Jedi and slaying thousands of innocents by his own two hands.


    Apparently, his face is deformed as he was hit straight on by a blaster.


    But you gotta admit, that''s insanely impressive if you consider the Jedi of Order 66 that died so easily by the Clone Troopers.


    Though his face is horribly deformed, I''ve seen far worse in my previous life, especially from those movies....


    Also, it turns out that the young girl was my Sister, it was quite obvious, but I didn''t both to figure it out.


    My Sister had a great number of Midi-Chlorians, however, I have a bare minimum...


    Of course, they didn''t measure it through a blood sample, rather, during my birth and my Sisters as twins, he sensed us both as a movement of the force.


    My movement was much weaker than my Sisters, she can currently use the force to lift up a small rock, I can''t even lift up more than a pebble.


    Ten Years of Age


    My force powers have manifested quite nicely, though even now, I can''t lift up a small rock with my Force powers.


    She, however......


    Can lift up a large rock! How unfair is that?


    God if you''re listening, why would you do this?This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    Though I lacked a "cheat skill".


    I''ve read the books, played the games and watched the movies.


    I know how the Sith work.


    From my studies, apparently, this is around the Era of the Old Republic.


    The Dark Council still exists, and it''s not two Sith against the entire Republic.


    It''s thousands of Sith, against thousands of Jedi''s......


    Thirteen Years of Age


    At the Eleventh Year, I realized I shouldn''t be continuing to increase my Force prowess, rather I decided to try and control it better.


    By investing a year of my time, I found out, I could actually use the Force to enhance my physical prowess, even against Swordsmen of great skill, I could simply use the Force to enhance my body to defeat them.


    Daily life was so-so, propaganda and more propaganda, I was at Dromund Kaas, the Great Capital of the Empire.


    If I peeked out, seeing a Sith Lord, Moff or another important official wouldn''t be rare.


    When I asked my guards and trainers about the war, they always claimed the Empire was winning, but it was quite obvious that they were lying, and I expected for there to be a stalemate between the Empire and Republic.


    At Twelve, I could proficiently use the Force, jumping a metre high or running ten metres a second, as long as I used the Force wasn''t impossible.


    But it would put a strain on me, perhaps, if I got older, it would have less of a strain, but for now, I would have to wait.


    And well, until thirteen, I pretty much did the same thing.....


    There was no games, no reality television, videos, it was all propaganda.....


    Thankfully, I''ve already been "brainwashed" by the Culture of my old life, otherwise, I''d be like most of the other drones that live here.


    Then at thirteen, I was told I need to go to the Sith Academy, I didn''t try to escape, as only a fool would try to escape....


    Putting on my black robe, this symbolized my status as a Sith Hopeful, not like a Sith Acolyte or Initiate, I actually had the potential of becoming a Sith, and most Sith Hopeful become such.


    If I did become a Sith, I would live a quiet life, I wouldn''t oppress, no I wouldn''t even suppress anyone.


    I just wanted to survive.....


    Arrival at the Academy


    Here I was, at the Academy, my black robe made the nearby Imperial Footmen salute me, the officers, however, walked past with their hand slightly down.


    Just before I left the Ship which I took to get to the Academy, which was on Korriban, for some strange reason, even though their''s one on Dromund Kaas.


    I had a meal, and it felt as if it was a prisoner''s last request....


    The first steps I took, I felt as if I moved off a moving train and inertia took its effect on me.


    I gasped for air a bit, but then I saw a face.


    Below the face was a body, of course.


    This was Overseer Rarhun, wearing a dark red armour with silver shoulder guards, he reminded of a certain Overseer called Harkun.


    Overseer Rarhun was once a young Initiate that completed his Sith Trials, he then became a Sith Warrior, as he wasn''t able to become a Sith Guardian or Marauder, he couldn''t become a Sith Lord.


    So here he is now, a Sith Overseer watching over the young Initiates and Acolytes....


    He wasn''t a fan of those that came from slavery, he detested them harshly, as for aliens, he didn''t discriminate against them, but if there was a human, that would always be his first choice.


    He looked to be with a smiling face and said, "Well, if it isn''t Lord Zavan''s Grandson, I''m Overseer Rarhun, I hope you enjoy your stay here, you will act as Inquisitor Vern''s Apprentice"


    An Inquisitor''s Apprentice? That was a pretty high position for someone that just arrived....


    But I was, after all, a direct descendant of a Sith Lord, so it was likely that Overseer Rarhun pulled a few strings to make it so, in order to garner favour.


    I replied, "My thanks, Overseer Rarhun, I hope to serve Inquisitor Vern to the best of my abilities".


    I gulped in some air, I remembered playing SWTOR, and there was an Inquisitor that tortured people....


    Also, Overseer Rarhun like Inquisitor Vern was an Inquisitor, but his Overseer title superseded the Inquisitor Title.


    I heard of those called Sith Sorcerers and heard that they were mighty Sith Lords that could cause even Jedi to lose their faith or succumb to madness.


    Hopefully, my time with Inquisitor Vern will be an ok time...

 Sith Academy (II) Korriban

    Nine O Clock in the Morning, well not exactly that time, but that''s when I usually woke up in my past life.


    I woke up feeling physically unstoppable, well that''s just comparison.


    In my old life, I was quite fit, but right now, I probably reached the epitome of fitness for a thirteen-year-old.


    Even without using the Force, I could probably easily beat up some of the Acolytes and Initiates here.


    With the Force, I''d probably be among the top, but against someone that passed the Sith Trials.


    I''m nothing but a bug....


    Inquisitors are capable of force lightning, and warriors can choke people using the force, I can''t come anywhere close to that, if I wasn''t crushed like a bug, what would I be crushed like?


    About an Hour Late


    Well, after an hour, since I''ve been awake, I''ve been weighing my choices and ideas.


    In all honesty, I didn''t want to help someone torture another person.


    I had morals, a code to follow by, call me weak if you want to, but it makes me who I am.


    With a heavy heart, I walked towards the office of Inquisitor Vern, I employed the most evil and mean face I could.


    Thankfully, due to the genes of my Grandfather, I was able to generate a pretty good one, the Acolytes and Initiates that saw me, seemed to move back in fear.


    The Imperial Footmen gave their salutes and the some of the Officers would do so as well, though not as formally and much more casually.


    As I entered the room, I saw a man wearing a purple armour of some sort, but it looked quite similar to what an Inquisitor of SWTOR wore, so I guessed it was him.


    He was a bit rounded, well, a bit fat I guess, not too fat though, he didn''t seem to obese, just yet.


    He looked at my face and then saw my robe and said, "Ah, you must be Lord Zavan''s Grandson, Overseer Rarhun, told me of your arrival."


    I simply nodded and walked closer, as I did, Inquisitor Vern picked a baton from a shelf.


    It was glowing with energy, I saw some other Initiatives and Acolytes carrying this as well, but most were seemingly hiding it, for one reason or another, as I noticed.


    He then threw it at me, I was able to easily catch it, and I did so only using two fingers to impress him, sure enough, it did indeed impress him.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Impressive even for a Sith Hopeful".


    I then used the force to push myself forward, within the time period of a second, I was holding the baton to his neck,


    I was a bit nervous when I did this, but the Inquisitor then moved his hand to where the baton was and instantly crushed it.


    He then laughed and said a few things, "Hohoho, (Not Santa) very impressive, if it was a lightsaber, perhaps, I might''ve been dead by now".


    He then looked to the shattered baton and said, "Oh, look what I have done.... No worries, I will get you a replacement immediately"


    He got another one out of the shelf, and he threw it even quicker, I caught this one, again with two fingers.


    For a second, I felt as if the entire room become dreadful, it was as if he was able to kill me, but then it quickly disappeared.


    This was, without doubt, the power of the Force, but weren''t only those big shots like Jadus capable of doing so?


    I don''t want to brag, but this was an Inquisitor, not a Sith Lord.


    Of course, I was however still standing, and the Inquisitor was quite surprised and the pressure disappeared.


    He then spoke once more, and said, "I fear that if I truly do take you as an Apprentice, then I will certainly be slain by you in a single year".


    I replied then in the wisest and most Sith way I knew how to, say a quote I knew from the books, movies and games.


    "Choose someone as a successor, and you will inevitably be succeeded".


    This was a quote I copied from Sidious, but the Overseer obviously being born thousands of years before, hearing this, jumped and said, "In all truth, you have surprised me, but what you have just said, surprises me most, you remind me of a certain someone...."


    A smile came on his face, I was like, wait who do I remind you of....


    He then continued on, "In a certain temple, there is a mighty prophet called Frezan, go visit him and ask for some guidance, though my status means nothing, your words will hold great weight to a man like him".


    Wait, though the words said might be different, doesn''t this mighty prophet named Frezan, sound like a guy I had to visit as an Acolyte when I played SWTOR?


    What is this?


    Coincidence or Conspiracy??


    Also, what is this, sending me off?


    You just don''t want to take care of me, if I am lucky, he''ll be like Spindrall, that old guy from SWTOR.


    He trained Acolytes and Initiates that failed their trials since I''m sure that I could easily defeat the ones that have yet to fail their disciples, they should pose no challenge right?


    Well, at least I hope so.


    I then left the room, with the baton on my back, I started to walk, it looked similar to the SWTOR game version, but there were some minor differences.


    First thing, where were all the taxis? (SWTOR Reference)


    You expect me to walk!


    As I was, walking, I saw a man in a black sort of armour, he was an Inspector, he looked to the Acolytes and Initiates and rudely demanded to see if they were a traitor or fraud by scanning them.


    If they weren''t a traitor or fraud, they would be an acolyte or initiate that was kicked out of their trials, the only location for those people would be in caves, and not in Frezan''s cave, which quite surprised me.


    But Frezan didn''t even live in a cave, he actually lived in a tall tower, or so the rumours said.


    After the Inspector looked to an Acolyte he looked to me and said, loudly, "Stop, in the name of the Emperor".


    I stopped and looked at the Inspector weirdly, he then asked if he could scan me, I obviously agreed and he said farewelled me.


    Obviously, as a Sith Hopeful, I was treated much better than those Acolytes and Initiates, as for Inquisitors? The Inspector didn''t dare to touch them, as only Sith could judge other Sith, and the Inspector like me was akin to a Sith Hopeful.


    Eventually, I made it to where Frezan''s residence was, a large tall tower, it looked as if it would collapse at any moment, looking outside, I felt fear and really didn''t want to go in such a place that looked as if it should''ve fallen down by now.

 Frezan (I) Korriban

    The large tall tower, looked as if it would fall at any moment.


    I truly worried about the Empire''s state of buildings here at Korriban, back then when I was at Dromund Kaas, the buildings and facilities were far beyond anything I saw in my old life.


    This tower, however, seemed as if it was made in the middle ages, and somehow still existed to now.


    Also, I still have yet to know what exact time period I am in, despite all the propaganda of the great Dark Council and famous Darth''s, none of the names were familiar to me.


    There was no Zash, Thanaton, Baras or any other figure, I could think of.


    But, I was someone like most, that researched more on the Jedi, so perhaps, if I ever get news that isn''t propaganda, I might properly figure out which time period I''m in.


    As I walked closer to the tower, I felt myself subconsciously going slower, I wasn''t sure if this was the Force or just my fear, but I kept on moving.


    Where the door, would normally be, there was none such.


    It was just an empty door-sized hole, so I went through it.


    At this time, I heard an echoing voice, it was quiet, and though I heard it once, it was if I couldn''t forget it.


    "Who goes there? Inquisitor? Warrior?".


    Then, all of a sudden, I could see something, I couldn''t before.


    There were now two doors, one on the top said, Inquisitor and the other said, Warrior.


    I felt, that I should go to Inquisitor, that was after all, what I was studying and training for, however, though my prowess in controlling the Force was quite high, my actual potential of the Force was quite low.


    I remember that Luke Skywalker could move a small ship with the Force, as you could also in the Force Unleashed games, but I simply wasn''t like that.


    I could barely lift up a small rock right now using the Force if I wanted to choke an adult, any adult, even one without training, I wouldn''t be able to do so.


    Maybe a teenager, but I wouldn''t be able to lift them up or really kill them easily, if it wasn''t for my Grandfather, I wouldn''t be getting the Sith Hopeful treatment.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    However, my physical prowess, on the other hand, was unquestionable, so I made a choice.


    I decided to go to the warrior door.


    There was a robot, it wasn''t on, but when I took a step forward, it was shrouded by a faint purple glow, and then itjust jumped up.


    It held a baton like me, it ran towards me, but I easily dodged it, but I didn''t realize the other hand of the robot that almost struck me.


    Fortunately, the other hand was empty, but still, a robot''s hand was stronger than a normal human''s hand.


    I moved back as quickly as I could, it then went towards me, but it jumped quite strangely, it twisted at the same time, and tried to strike me.


    I dodged again, though this time, I was much closer to being struck, I myself then tried to strike it, but it dodged with ease.


    This went on for a good ten minutes, I was exhausted, but the robot was perfectly fine, then I decided to try something.


    The robot was virtually bare, it seemed like an exoskeleton, that was barely armoured.


    I imagined that this was either an extremely old Droid or one that went through many battles.


    I put my right hand forward, and I attempted to use the force.


    Seeing I was, the robot moved even quicker, or at least I thought, I felt as if the robot was right in front of me, but looking, it was a metre or two away.


    I tried to manipulate the core of the robot, and I swear the robot smiled for some reason, I learned some basic knowledge of robots, and I knew that the robot was actually dismantling its own core.


    Seeing that, I began to move the tiny wires within the robot, I don''t think it noticed, so it continued to dismantle its own core, though if it did so, after a minute or so, it would automatically shut down. the thing is, I''m not sure if I can last for more than a minute.


    This sounded good, right? But, the thing is, I''m not sure if I can last for a minute, much more, a minute or two.


    Concentrating all my efforts, I started to try to control all the wires, I realized, that though they were wires, they were still quite powerful compared to my old''s life.


    But, I tried even harder.


    I got this, I got this, I kept on telling that to myself.


    I also had to be careful to do it without bringing much notice, as the robot, still thought I was trying to move its core, or I was trying to self-destruct it.


    That was a viable option, but I felt this robot was different....


    When I saw the faint purple glow, it reminded me of a certain Sith Lord.....


    Then, the robot had finally dismantled its own core, but nothing happened, it simply watched me.


    At that moment, I then pulled on all the wires violently, suddenly the robot knew what happened, and it tried to move, but I stopped it from doing so.


    I then moved the wires to collapse the robot, by straining the wires enough, I was able to sever the connection it had, it was similar to a person having a broken hand.


    They had it, but they couldn''t use it.


    The robot was in the same position, but then all of a sudden, the purple faint glow disappeared, and it collapsed on the floor, but just in case, I disconnected all the wires.


    I then saw another door, I opened it.


    I saw a staircase, every step I took, I was given visions, there would continuously be an old man, asking if I wanted the power to change the World.


    But I simply ignored it, going through enough telemarketing scams in my past life, I gained an innate resistance and continued to the top.


    Opening the door at the top, I saw a faint blue figure, it was sitting down, at that moment, my suspicions were cleared.

 Frezan (II) Korriban

    I then heard the voice again, though I was at the top of the tower, the room was still big, but not enough to cause an echo.


    Yet the voice did just that, it was an echoing voice that was quiet and unforgettable.


    "Visiting, this old man? Seeing the look on your face, you are not surprised?"


    I was indeed not surprised, Horak-Mul was one likewise that could do so, so why couldn''t this guy do it as well?


    I simply replied, "I am surprised, after all, how many cancheat life and death?".


    I tried to flatter him, but the voice replied in anger, "Bah, this old man, simply refuses to let go...."


    Refusing to let go? If it was that simple, then wouldn''t everyone be in a sense, be able to cheat life and death? If Palpatine was here, wouldn''t he be choking on his words right now?


    But, I suppose it was harder than one thought, it would take incredible resilience and willpower, they were people, Jedi or Sith that couldn''t bear to pass on, but rather feeling unaccomplished enough, their spirit stayed in the earthly realm.


    I was going to talk, but the voice then asked a question, "Acolyte, this old man, has been stuck here for a hundred years, only those that harbour ill-intent towards you would send you here."


    I was speechless, did Inquisitor Vern want me dead already? No.... It was likely, the Master of Inquisitor Vern that had a feud with my Grandfather.


    I then asked a question myself in curiosity, "Who trapped you here?".


    The faint blue figure then stood up and looked outside of the tower, the voice then replied, "My own disciple, he was hungry for power, but he was without patience knowledge."


    I simply tried to appear wise and said another Sidious quote, "Choose someone hungrier and you will be devoured".


    The faint blue figure turned out, it revealed an old man, there were several scars on his face, he was also not human, he was a Sith Pureblood.


    Normally, Sith Pureblood''s are ones with red skin colours, but today, I can say I saw a blue Sith Pureblood!


    The voice then laughed and said, "I, Lord Frezan, have never heard something so true, since I murdered my own Master"


    The voice, no....If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Lord Frezan, was likely someone killed his own Master to become a Sith Lord, only when Sith had an incredibly powerful Master compared to themselves, would they not kill their own Master to become a Sith Lord or Master themselves.


    Lord Frezan, looked towards me and asked a question, "Acol- No, youngling what is your name?".


    I took a moment to reply and said, "It is.... Frederick"


    Honestly, my actual name is Shaange, it was strange, but most of the people I knew called me Lord Zavan''s Grandson, after all, his mere mention of hisname, carried far greater worth than my own.


    I gave him the name of past life, as I found it more convenient and to remember myself by, but Lord Frezan, thought otherwise, "A strange name......"


    "You don''t look like you''ve lied, but it doesn''t seem you''ve told the truth either...."


    Well, Lord Frezan, you''re right, Frederick is my real name, but at the same time it isn''t, but it''s not like you''re ever going to know that.


    I was though surprised he was able to figure out, I didn''t tell the truth, then I tried to change the subject and asked a question, "Lord Frezan, what stops you from leaving this place and passing on?".


    I swear, I saw the blue Lord Frezan, turn red in anger, he shouted out and it felt as if I was going to be defenestrated again, though this time out of a tower.


    "My apprentice! The one that trapped me here! He didn''t even kill me, he left me here to die after I was betrayed by him".


    I was confused and subconsciously asked a question, "He didn''t kill you?".


    I felt a bit weird after noticing that I asked a question, subconsciously, but Lord Frezan simply replied, "That fool, he''s simply incapable, do you know why he was able to trap me? He had help from Darth Norgiov, if it wasn''t for him, he wouldn''t be capable of doing anything against me."


    My curiosity couldn''t be sated, and seeing that Lord Frezan felt like answering questions, I continued, "Who is Darth Norgiov?".


    He looked at me and then replied, "A Dark Lord of the Sith, but the weakest without a doubt, he feared me, but couldn''t kill me, so he offered my own disciple a position as a Sith Lord and to become his own disciple, if he helped him strike me down!"


    "Then who is this disciple?" I was always interested in these stories and books about Star Wars where the characters would have disciples betraying them, though more broadly I was interested in everything about Star Wars.


    Lord Frezan replied, "His name is, Travpatr."


    I took a deep breath, honestly, for a second, I thought he was going to say, my Grandfather, I don''t know why, but it was just a hunch.


    "Though he has probably changed his name, since becoming a Sith Lord, one thing that he wouldn''t, is the scar on his face, he got by being blasted from a blaster at point blank range. It is the source of his rage, though it is untempered and it makes him weak and strong"


    Hearing this, I froze, didn''t this sound like my Grandfather, I kept a straight face, and then said something that made me thankful, I told him my old name.


    "In truth, you look like him, but your name is too different, I remember when he had a son, he was utterly disappointed it wasn''t a Force-sensitive child, and he vowed to call all his future Force Sensitive children, the names of his household, Frederick, by all means, is none of which".


    "But youngling, I can see you are likely without a Master if they made you come here, let this Old man help you, and in return, you help me?".


    I was frozen, I didn''t know what to say, he would without a doubt, teach me the ways of the evil Sith, but I had morals and ideas, but I needed power.......


    So, here it goes, "I accept..........."


    (He needs power to survive and also because he''s slightly worried about Inquisitor Vern)

 Frezan (III) Korriban

    "No need for ceremonies, this old man doesn''t care about such traditions".


    I was kneeling, but then I stood up and saw the face of Lord Frezan.


    He smiled and then pointed far away, it was a large cavern, it could barely be seen with sight, "See, the Cave of Lord Meldn, located within that cave, should be a group of shyracks, go and kill them, once you do so, you will find them protecting a damaged hilt, go and retrieve it."


    Wasn''t this a quest/mission?


    Damaged hilt? Was it worth me fighting some shyracks for a damaged hilt?


    I knew of shyracks, apparently, they were easy to kill, the real trouble was that they fought in numbers, I worried though, that there might be a lot of them or even worse, a Tuk''ata hiding there.


    I slowly left the tower, and as I did, I started to walk to the Cave of Lord Meldn, honestly, at the same time, I was thinking.


    Why are there so many caves that haven''t been explored yet?


    I''m pretty sure this is the time period after the Sacking of Coruscant and after its respective treaty if not extremely close, as Korriban is under Sith control, but, where''s Darth Malgus?


    He should be the face of Empire Propaganda....


    I think this is an alternate Galaxy of Star Wars.


    Well, that''s just a theory, and as I was thinking this before I knew it, I made it to the Cave of Lord Meldn, with me and my trusty baton, entering the cave.


    In the cave, I saw the skeletons of acolytes, they were disgusting, but I felt the urge to vomit when I saw a decomposing body, it looked like the acolyte died at least within a day or two ago, but I continued on deeper.


    As I came closer, I saw the shyracks, they were in the air, I hoped to just get one of the group and kill it when it''s by itself, but I could also choose to try and just run to get the hilt.


    But, I was afraid that Lord Frezan, would know, so I decided to try and trick them, using the Force, I picked up a small pebble and threw it.


    There were about twelve shyracks, though there were, there was also some skeletons of shyracks on the ground, which lead me to believe, that someone actually brought shyracks here instead of them being more than just twelve.


    About three shyracks went to the pebble, well not for the pebble, but for the sound it made.


    I threw another pebble and another, well no, itwas the same pebble....


    As I got the shyracks, just near the entrance of the cave, I jumped and struck a shyrack, instantly killing it, the other two shyrack almost screamed, but I jumped immediately and struck another one, though this one survived, they both tried to attack instead of screaming.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    The wounded one bit my arm, which hurt a bit, the other one sped towards me and tried to bite me the same, I made it bite the baton, and thank God, that baton sure is durable.


    I then quickly pulled out the baton and struck the shyrack, the wounded one took this chance took bite me harder, but thankfully, I pulled it off quickly as I hit with my baton.


    Three dead, nine more to go....


    NINE MORE SHYRACKS AFTER


    I have to say, it wasn''t easy.


    I right now had torn clothes, but thankfully, there were moved awkwardly and clumsy, also did I mention they didn''t have eyes?


    I was able to repeat it with the same way I did for the first time, but I made only two shyracks follow me, after killing them both.


    I made a slight mistake, I aggroed/pissed about seven of them at one time....


    The upper part of the black robe is virtually gone, replaced with the sight of a thirteen-year-old''s muscles.


    I once again have to thank my Grandfather, if it wasn''t for the training, I received due to him, I likely would''ve only had a body comparable to the acolytes.


    I still, however, received some minor wounds, a few slashes or wounds, after all, everyone would eventually suffer wounds and scars.


    Though the same thing, can''t be said for my baton, it looked as if it''s been smashed against a brick wall, though it''s not that it can''t be repaired, it would take some time.


    Even Darth Malgus was forced to don a respirator mask after the Defeat of Alderaan.


    Honestly though, with the face, I inherited from my Grandfather, and the wounds on my body, they only served to help my credibility as a Sith Hopeful.


    As for why I say, Grandfather instead of Mother or Father?


    I never really met or seen both of them, life was simply training and more training.


    One day, I hope I will though since they aren''t Sith, they''re probably more approachable than my Grandfather.


    Butright now, I was walking towards a table, there was a hilt, sure enough, it was damaged.


    It didn''t look like any hilt, that I''ve ever seen before, Sentinel, Vanquisher, Vindicator, these three were types of hilts, and there were more.


    But out of all of them that I knew, this one looked different, maybe it was because it was damaged, I didn''t know, but I went back to the tower, to complete the quest.


    As I walked back, I lamented the lack of a taxi system and how this felt like a quest, but I didn''t want to say anything to anyone else.


    While I was on the staircase, I had thoughts of creating my own Lightsaber, but even if I did somehow, I probably wouldn''t be very proficient with it, or that I feared that a Sith might find me and simply take it.


    Only Sith and Jedi could wield lightsabers, apprentices and padawans were the minimal ranks that were present, I wasn''t either of the two.


    Though I served as Inquisitor Vern''s Apprentice, he wasn''t a Sith Master, but only the lowest Sith.


    But even the lowest Sith had to be addressed as "Lord" by those that weren''t.


    Bringing back, the damaged hilt, as soon as I entered, I kneeled in front of the sitting Lord Frezan.


    He then spoke in an echoing voice, which to be honest, sounded warm for some reason.


    "Good.... Leave it here for now"


    Dropping it, I was going to say something, but Lord Frezan continued, "Go to your Academy and say that this old bag of bones wasn''t here, say that I''ve passed on..."


    I nodded my head and was going to speak, but once again, Lord Frezan continued, however this time, his voice was full of fury, "But be careful, whoever sent you here..... Wants you dead! Watch out for that person...."


    I thanked him for his advice, and I quickly left.


    As I was walking back, I remembered how bare the upper part of my body was and how my baton was virtually destroyed, from just "visiting the tower and seeing that nobody was there".


    I stopped for a second.....

 Inquisitor Vern (I) Korriban

    I sat down, in the hot desert-like landscape of Korriban.


    Taking a moment, the first thing I did was to fix my baton.


    I used the Force to carefully mould it together, though it wasn''t fully repaired, it was close enough.


    As for my robe, I tried to stitch it using the force....


    I mean my control was pretty good!


    After a minute or so, I really stretched the robe, but then I remembered my bed cloth was made black, perhaps I could use that to stitch....


    Wearing the extremely stretched robe, I extremely carefully made it a bit looser, if I made a single mistake, I feared it would collapse the robe.


    I then began to walk back, as I walked, nobody seemed to notice anything.


    Eventually, I made it to Inquisitor Vern''s office.


    As I was about to enter, I immediately heard screams...


    Hearing them, I took a step back and went toward my room.


    There, looking at my bed cloth and robe, I swear, they''re made of the same material!


    I began to stitch some of the bed cloth with the robe and in no time, the robe was fixed, but the bed cloth was no only half of what it was. I then decided to look in my room for anything else.


    Curious, I looked through the cabinets in my room, in one of them, I felt as if God was mocking me, there wasn''t one robe, there were several!


    Looking through all the other cabinets, I saw no more bed sheets, I was in despair.


    Taking off the robe I currently had, I put on one of the several, then, I started to stitch my old robe with the bed sheets, wondering how the other Sith Hopeful had lived.


    I imagined they too likely to had toresort to such measures, though without my skill in stitching, they likely would''ve had much less success.


    Then, I walked towards, Inquisitor Vern''s office, there was no screaming, but then I opened the door, and immediately heard screaming....


    I attempted to show my toughest face and I boldly went in, I saw a young teenager, he was strapped to the restraining machine and had an extremely frightened expression.


    Reminding me of a scene from the Inquisitor''s playthrough with Inquisitor Zyn, it was likely that this young teenager had done a serious, though silent crime, or was somehow connected to it.


    If it wasn''t silent, then this teenager would''ve been dead now, if it wasn''t serious, he would simply be sent to the tombs for a near-impossible mission.


    These overseers were those sort of people, to Sith Hopefuls, they gave preferential treatment and to those that came from slavery and rarely being aliens, they would be sent to hard missions for even the slightest disagreement, that in truth, only Sith Hopefuls would be capable of completing.


    Inquisitor Vern didn''t seem to notice me, I slowly went behind him and asked, "Inquisitor Vern, I have returned...."


    Immediately he replied, "What did you find at the Tower? What did Frezan say?".


    Turns out he did notice me.... He probably just didn''t say anything.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    I kneeled and replied, "My apologies for the failure.... Inquisitor, Frezan wasn''t there, I believe he has since passed away...."


    Inquisitor Vern smiled and replied, "No worries, Apprentice, show this poor excuse of an Acolyte some pain".


    I asked, "What crime has he done?".


    Inquisitor Vern gave off a small laugh and replied sternly, "Some questions, are better to have their answers, not known"


    I didn''t know what to do, but anything if I replied once more in dissent, I feared he might get angry.


    I turned to the acolyte and asked a question, "How do you wish to be tortured? Through the machine or myself?".


    Before the acolyte could speak, I casually added another line and moved in slightly closer, "I can assure you, I do not forgive as easily as a machine simply stops".


    I said that in hope, that he would choose the machine,just in case, as I saw his lips moving, I began to move my hand in the stance that one would Force choke or Force lightning.


    He then started to cry a bit and shout, "STOP! The machine!"


    As if he had terrible memories of a Force choke or Force lightning, he begged for me to stop.


    I was going to, but I noticed Inquisitor Vern smiling behind me, so I had to continue....


    I smiled, though it wasn''t real of course, I wasn''t sadistic! I was a peace loving average joe....


    "Are you sure about that? The machine is far more powerful than the electric I can produce...."


    He then still shouting replied, "THE MACHINE!".


    I gave off a bit of an evil laugh, but like all evil laughs, it was terribly generic.


    "Hahahaha".


    Then continuing I said, "Take in that despair....."


    I then began to very gently choke the teenager, it wasn''t that I was limiting myself, I literally couldn''t choke harder than this without breaking a sweat.


    The teenager then began to scream, but they died out and he stopped struggling.


    Looking at him, Inquisitor Vern had a great big smile, I then said, "Scum, fainted before I even began"


    Inquisitor Vern then agreed and sneered while looking at the acolyte and said, "You''ve done well Apprentice, such cruelty is necessary for the Sith, things such as compassion and peace only serve as weakness".


    I took this moment to gain some favour from him and said, "Compassion by the Jedi, is false, they are nothing more than hypocrites that use their doctrine to control the masses."


    Inquisitor Vern was stunned and he asked, "How so?".


    I quickly replied before it was out of my mind, "They show compassion to those they pity, as like us, they see them beneath them, as soon as we are gone, who knows if the Jedi become like us?".


    Inquisitor Vern gave off a quick laugh and asked, "Is there anything else?".


    I replied, "The first Dark Lord of the Sith was a fallen Jedi wasn''t he?".


    Inquisitor Vern laughed even more and began to look jovial, give him a red suit, a long white beard and short white hair and he might even look like Santa.


    Looking to the acolyte, Inquisitor Vern then decided to answer my question, "This acolyte is a hybrid child from a normal Imperial Family, he hasn''t really committed a crime, he simply annoyed Overseer Rarhun".


    I sighed and lamented, I wonder what this acolyte did to simply annoy Overseer Rarhun since he came from a normal Imperial Family and not a background of slavery.


    Though he was a hybrid, Overseer Rarhun, wasn''t one to discriminate on the basis of race, if he did so, then he might attract negative attention, even so, that would be very little.


    I asked Inquisitor Vern, "Simply annoyed? Overseer Rarhun wouldn''t act against someone out of just that. Even if he is a hybrid, Overseer Rarhun wouldn''t do that."


    Inquisitor Vern then replied, "Don''t worry, go to your quarters now, see me tomorrow at ten in the morning".


    I took a step out of the office, and as I did, I saw several acolytes running away, I wondered if they were eavesdropping, if they were and they heard me, I worried....


    They might think of me as sadistic or something....


    But, I knew that rumours of me would definitely spread out after today.


    What I didn''t know was............


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick.


    It was near to midnight, Inquisitor Vern was kneeling, in front of him was a figure shrouded in a dark cloth, beneath of which was armour.


    The figure shrouded in the dark cloth was, without doubt, a Sith Lord, his very presence was death incarnate.


    He laughed and scorned, "Vern, how is Zavan''s Grandson?".


    Inquisitor Vern didn''t dare to look up, he simply replied, "Master.... He has the qualities of a powerful Sith...."


    The Sith Lord then spoke, "Good, you didn''t lie....... I was going to wait for a bit, but.... It is preferable to my plans if he becomes an Inquisitor quicker."


    Inquisitor Vern then asked, "Master.... You don''t mean?".


    The Sith Lord smiled and said, "Vern, the politics of the Empire are large and strange, I took you on as an Apprentice as your Father was an old friend..... Go now, help him become an Inquisitor as soon as possible..."


    As Inquisitor Vern left, the Sith Lord looked up and spoke, "Zavan......

 Inquisitor Vern (II) Korriban

    Though I was told to go to my quarters, it was still quite a bit of time until night.


    I thought of going to Lord Frezan, but I was in truth tired, in my room, I began to practice the Force.


    Once more, I found myself unable to hold anything that weight more than a medium sized rock.


    But, when I closed my eyes, I felt as I could still see.


    The Force had once again enhanced my physical prowess, this was likely due to the shyracks.


    As I was bored, I continued to investigate my room, to my boredom, there was nothing that I didn''t find before.


    Also, I wondered another thing, when I played SWTOR as the Inquisitor and Warrior, there was never any rooms, they simply finished all their training miraculously in a single day.


    But here, it took far longer, weeks, perhaps even months it would take.


    I felt like leaving my room, but I chose not to, I simply tried to sleep, about an hour later and still awake.


    The sun had yet to fall, I left the room and decided to go and visit Frezan, once again it was a hunch.


    On the way, I saw a cave, I could hear voices from it, I looked at it and saw a quite obvious trap.


    They were likely using the voices as bait as trying to trap someone, it likely wasn''t me, so I simply continued.


    Though murder among acolytes was banned, strife and spreading deceit was an encouraged Sith trait, more importantly, acolytes always had someone to blame...


    Beasts? Crazy denizens? There were plenty of both.


    Eventually, I made it to the Tower and got up there quickly, seeing the sitting Lord Frezan, I knelt and announced my presence, "Master, I have arrived".


    Lord Frezan was more of a Master than Inquisitor Vern was, I don''t know why, but though Lord Frezan was dead and probably as cold as ice, he seemed much more approachable and "warmer".


    Lord Frezan spoke, "A powerful Sith Lord is watching you...... One capable of challenging a Darth in the prowess of the Force itself...."


    I was surprised and worried, Why would a Sith Lord be watching over me?


    It obviously wasn''t my Grandfather, he wasn''t that powerful enough.... I worried that it was an enemy of my Grandfather.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    But most surprising was, that this Sith Lord was capable of challenging a Darth in the prowess of the Force....


    This was likely a figure that could take on armies or cut people as easily as cutting weeds.


    To become a Sith Lord, one would need to become a Master, before that, they would become an Inquisitor or Warrior.


    From Inquisitor or Warrior to Sith Lord, the requirement was only prowess in the Force, or more specifically Power!


    I remember reading that there were many Sith Lords capable of challenging Dark Lords of the Sith, however, they simply lacked the resources and forces to do so.


    In a one versus one, a Sith Lord might defeat a Dark Lord, but in a Kaggath, the Dark Lord would likely win.


    Did my Grandfather antagonise such a figure?


    I truly was worried, Lord Frezan spoke some comforting words, but I was still afraid.


    "Don''t worry, if you hide here, no one will find you. Like the Valley of the Dark Lords, this tower is quite sacred to a few of my still alive friends".


    However, what Lord Frezan spoke made me realize something that made me lost most of my worries, "If that Sith Lord wanted you dead, you would''ve been dead by now, he wouldn''t send you here to me, weaker Sith might, but the stronger Sith all havetheir own ways to deal with you...."


    I wondered something and then remembered, Inquisitor Vern sent me to Lord Frezan, the next time I see him, I would definitely ask the question, why he would.


    Though it was also possible, that Inquisitor Vern didn''t know of Lord Frezan''s death as he smiled instead of being unsurprised, I still had to know the truth.


    I looked outside and noticed that Lord Frezan was silent, I spoke, "Master, I will leave now".


    Lord Frezan spoke, "Go now, but be careful, though that Sith likely doesn''t wish to kill you right now, he could at any moment".


    I left the tower, and as I did, I felt a slight cold, it was getting near dark, so I decided to start moving quickly,


    I began to use the Force to create a tiny barrier around me, but it did virtually nothing.


    Tutaminis! Why don''t you work for absorbing the cold as well?


    Though it was a Jedi Technique, I mean come on, I wasn''t hateful like the Sith, I was peaceful like the Jedi!


    Becoming even colder, I began to use the Force to accelerate myself, I got back when it was virtually midnight.


    As I came back, I saw Inquisitor Vern leaving his office, I could''ve followed him, but wouldn''t that raise a flag of some sort?


    A death flag was what I worried about.


    So, I being a good citizen of the Empire, didn''t stalk or follow him, I simply went to my room.


    The Next Morning


    Well, a lot of things happening in that one single day.


    But, didn''t the Sith Inquisitor and Warrior both do their entire trial in a single day?


    I definitely feel a bit small compared to them.


    As I get out of bed and walk through the Academy, I see a ship entering the Academy.


    This was the date that usually acolytes would arrive on the Academy.


    Obviously, I being a Sith Hopeful am different, of course.


    I wondered if Ffon received the same treatment, then maybe he wouldn''t have died.


    Seeing the acolytes arriving, I saw their expressions of despair, though some looked more confident, they still walked in fear.


    If they were lucky, they might be favoured by the Overseer, perhaps a Sith Master might take on one of them, and in the rarest case, a Sith Lord would take on one of them.


    I moved on, though I didn''t see who the Overseer was, they were likely the same as Overseer Rarhun, a Sith with a talent for teaching, though some were Sith Masters and even rarer Sith Lords, the majority of them would always be Sith that found themselves unable to become a Sith Lord.


    I went to the training room, but as I did, some eyes were set on me, they looked at me with fear and I could see the guard, smiling at me.


    I wondered if what happened yesterday had any effect....

 Tukata (I) Korriban

    As I was in the training room, those around me moved away.


    I simply tried punching the training dummy in front of me.


    I did this for quite a while, and it was an awkward silence that everyone simply watched me.


    Eventually, I started to go quicker to see how far I could go.


    This took an obvious great strain on my body, but I felt it was necessary to train my body, as my prowess in the Force would probably be heavily limited.


    Well, unless I did what the Inquisitor did, I could get a Voss Mystic to get my mind calmed and get my body specially enhanced by rakatan technology, but there was no way, that it would be possible for me right now.


    Eventually, I decided to do the last hit on the training dummy''s head, I concentrated all the Force I could onto my right hand, and even before I hit the training dummy''s head, it was being pushed back by the Force.


    When my hand''s force was added to the Force on the head, the head just.....


    It came flying off.....


    Whilst, this was impressive, I did of course not do it within a single punch, it was adrenaline and the continued assault on the head, also, if I was fighting a Jedi, they could simply use a lightsaber to cut off my head.


    I turned around, and all those acolytes started to subconsciously move back, whilst this was bad for my reputation.


    It was in truth good!


    I didn''t want to be known as sadistic, but it would probably help....


    Seeing their fear, I grabbed the baton on my back, and I thought to myself.


    "I''m sorry old friend, I''ll repair you later....."


    I squeezed it with my left hand and suddenly it broke, I did so whilst looking at an acolyte that seemed to be one of the ones that just arrived, giving fear to the acolytes would in honesty help them.


    They might become overconfident, but because of me now, they would be more careful and cherish their lives more!


    I didn''t drop the baton, rather I put it back on my back and moved on, all the acolytes around me moved and when I looked, they ran away.


    I smiled and then saw that it was near ten, I began to run to Inquisitor Vern''s office.


    Though my hands were sore, namely the right hand which I used to punch the training dummy''s head, the baton, on the other hand, was squeezed by my other hand. (<--- Terrible Pun)


    The Sith Academy here was quite big but nowhere big enough to support all the Sith.


    Though in SWTOR, there was only one Sith Academy which was this one, there was currently one on Dromund Kaas, which was quite strange.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    Not wanting to be late, I began to run even quicker, I guess I was too focused on training, I didn''t even notice the time.


    Unfortunately, as I was running, I came to bump into someone, I really shouldn''t have....


    I just raised a death flag, by what I did....


    As I was running, I just so happened to bump into a female Sith Lord......


    Next to her were, where I think, two Sith warriors, they both carried lightsabers....


    Immediately as I did, I apologized, "My apologies, my Lady.... I didn''t see you there!".


    Kneeling down, I was, in fear.


    I heard one of the Sith warriors speaking, "How dare you! This is Lady Vaysera, a Sith Lord!".


    However, Lady Vaysera, spoke, "Hmmm, don''t worry, you must be Zavan''s Grandson.... I''ve heard much of your progress at the Academy..."


    Still kneeling, I was in great fear, though I was a Sith Hopeful, a Sith Lord could simply kill me, and who would speak up for me?


    My Grandfather might harbour some vengeance, but he wouldn''t act it out.


    As if I could feel for some reason, she was smiling, she then spoke, "Go off now...."


    I was surprised, very few Sith were as friendly as that, perhaps she was trying to play a Lord Zash on me?


    I ran off, but as I did, I noticed the Sith Warrior that didn''t speak, look at me with eyes that wished to kill.


    As soon as I made it to Inquisitor Vern''s room, I entered without knocking, I saw the very same acolyte and Inquisitor Vern looking at him in delight.


    He would just use Force lightning on him and acolyte would cry in pain, I simply watched, and waited.


    Inquisitor Vern seemed to into it, that I didn''t want to interrupt him, but at the same time, I saw how the acolyte suffered.


    I then spoke, "Master, I have arrived"


    Inquisitor Vern jumped a bit, and he even shot a bit of lightning towards me.


    I put my hands up to block it, though my robe was damaged, my hands were virtually fine, except for a bit of stinging pain.


    Inquisitor Vern smiled and replied, "Good reflexes...."


    Seeing the crying acolyte, I spoke, "Overseer Rarhun still is annoyed by the simple matter?".


    Inquisitor Vern, hearing this, replied, "In truth, Overseer Rarhun is angry right now."


    Hearing this, I asked, "Why?".


    Inquisitor Vern was silent and said, "In truth, I myself don''t know why".


    The unfortunate acolyte must have done a simple mistake, while Overseer Rarhun was angry.


    I guess that was his way of getting rid of anger, to make another more unfortunate.


    But, I couldn''t do anything, I wasn''t Sith yet, so my words had no weight.


    I asked Inquisitor Vern what I should do, "Master, as your Apprentice, are there any important tasks?".


    Though Inquisitor Vern indeed said that he would die within the year, if he took me as an Apprentice, it wasn''t like he could refuse, but he wasn''t really my actual Master anyway.


    Inquisitor Vern looked at me with a thinking face and replied, "Not yet there- Wait, there is one task, I require for you to do".


    Hearing this, I slightly lamented and hoped that there wouldn''t be anything to do, "What is it?".


    Replying back, what he said, made me feel dreadful.


    "There is a mutant tuk''ata which has grown to a great size, within the now deceased Lord Yerzan''s Tomb, I was asked to take care of it, but I myself am busy at work, however, you should be more than capable of doing such."


    Thinking to myself, I thought, WHY! A giant tuk''ata? There''s no way, I can deal with that.....


    But knowing, I couldn''t decline it, I simply replied, "As, you command".


    Inquisitor Vern then replied, "Bring back proof of its defeat, by sundown."


    Hearing, this I cried.


    Do you think Tukata are easy to kill?


    Maybe for you? But, I don''t have a lightsaber to fling around.


    As I was leaving, I heard Inquisitor Vern speak to me, "Don''t worry, though this is a giant Tuk''ata, it should be heavily weakened, and I can assure you, its scales should be no stronger than your own baton"


    "-_-"


    I suppose word goes fast, but how did he even hear about it?


    I didn''t have time to think about it, I simply left the room, and I started to run, though not to Lord Yerzan''s Tomb, but rather the Tower, I needed to ask Lord Frezan, if there was any "cheat" way to kill the Tuk''ata.


    If the Sith Inquisitor from SWTOR, can kill Darth Skotia with a cyber neutralizer, maybe there was some sort of special, Tuk''ata poison?


    I then began to walk to the Tower, and as I did, I felt that someone was following me.....

 Tukata (II) Korriban

    As I made it to outside the Tower, I heard the voice of Lord Frezan.


    "My apprentice, there is someone following you!".


    I stopped, and I shouted out, "Who follows me!?".


    I did that to try and scare whoever was, but I knew that it was unlikely.


    Suddenly, I could see the very same Sith Warrior that looked at me with the intent to kill.


    He seemed to be calm and he looked at me with malicious intent and said loudly, "Did you notice me now? Or were you waiting?".


    I didn''t reply, I simply looked at him, and asked, "Why did you follow me?".


    The Sith Warrior laughed a bit and said, "I have to admit, you''re quite impressive for a Sith Hopeful, many have seen you as the most prospective!".


    I replied in the evilest voice I could, "You have yet to answer my question!".


    The Sith Warrior frowned and said, "Though it''s not necessary, I have an excuse to kill on this Planet as you offended Lady Vaysera"


    Looking at how he wished to kill, I remained calm and replied, "An excuse? Is this on your grounds, or your Master''s?".


    The Sith Warrior hearing that smiled, and replied, "You don''t need to know."


    He drew his lightsaber, seeing that I prayed to God and thought, "Please help me, God...."


    Though it wasn''t God that helped me, I heard the voice of Lord Frezan, "My Apprentice.... Do not worry.... I will amplify your Force power, but the rest is up to you...."


    Suddenly, I felt invigorated with energy!


    The Sith Warrior ran towards me carrying his lightsaber, about a metre or two, he suddenly leapt, I wanted to test out how much power Lord Frezan could amplify mine by, so I put my hand forward and force pushed....


    He flew a lot!


    Five or so metres, by my count.


    He then tried once more, this time, I enhanced my body and let him come.


    As he leapt again, I dodged to where he hit the ground, using that moment, I was able to disarm him and I actually took his lightsaber!


    I looked at it for a good second or so, but then the Sith Warrior seeing himself defeated, he actually threw a grenade on the floor!


    Well, the Sith were sly and cunning, I should''ve expected that, but as he threw the grenade, I had to dodge it, he used that opportunity to run away.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    I was going to chase after him, but Lord Frezan''s voice was heard, "Don''t chase him.... If you leave the radius of the Tower, you''ll lose the amplification....."


    It was still echoing, but I felt for some reason, it sounded weaker.....


    Then he continued, "You have his lightsaber, and he knows, that he''s not your match, so he won''t challenge you.... As for his Master, he or she likely wouldn''t trouble you for such a thing...."


    There was truth in Lord Frezan''s words, would a Sith Lord care about their subordinates losing their lightsaber?


    Not really, and if they did know, they would rather hide the truth, if their subordinates were seen as weak, they themselves might appear likewise.


    I then asked Lord Frezan a question, "Master, I have been asked to kill a mutant Tuk''ata in Lord Yerzan''s Tomb, are there any weaknesses of their''s I should know?".


    Lord Frezan''s weakened voice I heard again, "Yerzan....."


    I heard his voice, it was if he was contemplating something, but then he said, "Watch out for their stingers and aim for their head...."


    Hearing this, with a lightsaber in my hand, I was jovial!


    Of course, I didn''t actually defeat that Sith Warrior with my own strength, but, still, I felt pretty good!


    I ran to the cave of the Lord Yerzan, full of confidence, I went there without even checking.


    But that was almost my undoing....


    As soon as I entered, about five or six Tuk''ata came running at me, if I didn''t have a lightsaber, I''m not sure, if I would''ve survived.


    Though with a lightsaber, I easily slashed and cut through with ease.


    I wish I could do Force Lightning though, if I could, then all I''d have to do is zap them a bit and they''d die easily.


    But here I was, without much prowess in the Force, only able to kill them as I relied on the lightsaber.


    As I walked to the giant Tuk''ata, I felt a sense of adrenaline, a desire to test out this new lightsaber.....


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick.


    After, the Sith Warrior ran, the first thing he did was immediately return to the Academy.


    Interrupting a conversation between Lady Vaysera and another Sith Lord.


    Lady Vaysera seeing the Sith Warrior was surprised and asked, "Who dared to injure you?".


    The Sith Warrior knelt and replied, "My Lady, it was that acolyte.... Lord Zavan''s Grandson...."


    The Sith Lord smiled and Lady Vaysera asked another question, "Your lightsaber?".


    The Sith Warrior shook and replied, "My Lady..... He was too powerful! He played around and easily took my Lightsaber if it wasn''t for the shock grenade..... I would''ve died!".


    The Sith Lord laughed and said, "What did I tell you Vaysera? You recently became a Sith Lord, there are some Sith that can''t be explained...."


    Lady Vaysera looking at the Sith Warrior became angry and began to choke him....


    "You would''ve died? YOU SHOULD''VE DIED....."


    Lifted up, the Sith Warrior looked to the other Sith Warrior that accompanied Lady Vaysera and put his hand trying to reach but then ran out of breath as he was being choked.


    The Sith Warrior was now dead, and the other Sith Warrior saw as the lifeless body fell to the ground.


    The Sith Lord smirked and looked to Lady Vaysera and said, "Allow for me to take him as an Apprentice, I''ve been needing one for some time..."


    Lady Vaysera looked to the Sith Lord and replied, "You are a Sorcerer, how are you sure Zavan''s Grandson won''t be a Sith Warrior? Perhaps, he will become my own Apprentice?".


    The Sith Lord replied, "Let''s make a bet.... If he chooses to be an Inquisitor, he will become my Apprentice, if he chooses to become an Warrior, then he will become without an Master".


    Lady Vaysera looked to the Sith Lord in anger and asked, "Not my apprentice?!".


    The Sith Lord calmly replied, "Only if he wishes to...."


    Lady Vaysera grew even angrier and said, "Even if he becomes an Inquisitor, he shouldn''t have to become your Apprentice!


    The Sith Lord smiled and said, "Do you know how many yearn to become my Apprentice? Though Vern is one of which, I even have Sith Master''s as Apprentices....."


    Back to Frederick''s POV


    Seeing the giant Tuk''ata my confidence is gone....


    It reminded me of a certain few lines, spoken by a certain red dragon.... (Smaug Reference)

 Tukata (III) Korriban

    "My armour is like tenfold shields......"


    I remember that in my past life, reading the Hobbit.


    Seeing the giant Tuk''ata, maybe they''re not too far off?


    Perhaps, they''re related?


    I mean, they''re both giant lizards right??


    Well, Tuk''ata apparently have intelligence and can live for centuries, but this one is mutated, so I''m not too sure.


    I looked at it and it spoke, in a strange tongue.


    If memory, serves me right, Tuk''ata had were known as semi-sentient and could speak the Sith language.


    I looked to the speaking Tuk''ata and I said, "I''m sorry, I only speak, Galactic Basic Standard".


    Well GBS, was virtually English, but I guess that was for the convenience of everyone watching the films.


    The Tuk''ata growled and came closer, I moved back and I drew out the lightsaber.


    Seeing the lightsaber, the Tuk''ata moved back.


    I leapt forward and stabbed the foot of the Tuk''ata, the lightsaber went straight in, without any difficulty.


    But, at that time, the Tuk''ata attempted to stomp on me, I barely dodged, suddenly then, the two stingers it had that were like winglike extensions went towards me.


    Dodging them, the Tuk''ata came up close and I saw it had plenty of teeth, though I wasn''t sure how many, it sure had a lot.


    Seeing its mouth, it almost tried to eat me, I was so afraid that I didn''t even use my lightsaber and almost dropped it.


    I then started to randomly move my lightsaber, and fortunately, it made the Tuk''ata move away.


    The stingers came, again and again, I dodged them once more, I tried to strike one of them, but every time I did so, I would have to dodge the other stinger.


    I simply didn''t want to risk it, as I was afraid.


    Fear.....


    That was my weakness, but also my strength, all those Sith that became blinded in arrogance and rage were always the easiest to kill, though also the most persistent.


    If one did not have fear, then they would get themselves killed, if I wasn''t afraid of this giant Tuk''ata at my strength, I would''ve probably been dead by now.


    Trying to dodge the stingers, I jumped as high as I could and I made it on top of the Tuk''ata, I barely made it, it was about three to four metres tall.


    Well, actually, that was perspective.


    It was probably around two to three metres, but hey, don''t blame me, I''m in a dark cave right now.


    As I was about to penetrate the back of the Tuk''ata it suddenly began to move like a Rodeo Bull....Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "2.7 Seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu......"


    Was I living like I was dying?


    No!


    I just wanted to survive, I held on to dear life!


    "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"


    I was literally flung into the air and I hit the ceiling, I came down, and holding onto the lightsaber I hit the Tuk''ata, it cried out pain, fortunately, I didn''t let go of the lightsaber, otherwise, I might''ve sunk into the giant Tuk''ata''s body.


    It shook more and more, but eventually, it stopped moving.


    I got off and touched it, it was definitely dead, as I could feel it losing heat. (Not sure, if they are hot or cold blooded)


    I looked towards it stomach, and I saw something that looked similar, it was a Holocron!


    I remembered when Revan found the Holocron of Tulak Hord within the belly of a Queen Tuk''ata.


    Well, I guess this doesn''t really count as a Queen Tuk''ata, but, I wonder what Holocron it is.


    Opening the stomach, was quite gross, it spewed out what seemed to be its food source, mainly vermin.


    Though the Tuk''ata could survive on the Force itself, it still needed to eat after all.


    Carefully I retrieved the Holocron, but I couldn''t put it on, as I didn''t have the "proper desire".


    Putting the Holocron on my back, I decided to get the Heart of the Tuk''ata, I would also cut the stingers and horns.


    But other than that, I couldn''t be bothered to cut the rest.


    Carrying the Heart was very strange.... Though the stingers and horns were ok, the Heart was just strange...


    First stop, I would go to Lord Frezan''s Tower, I would drop the Holocron and then return to the Academy, why wouldn''t I give the Holocron to the Academy?


    It was probably of higher value to Lord Frezan, if not, then I could learn the secrets from it, then give it to the Academy.


    Eventually, I made it to the top of the Tower, and I saw Lord Frezan sitting down, as he always would.


    I knelt and said, "Master, I have arrived, killing it, I found a Holocron!".


    Lord Frezan spoke, "Place it down behind me...."


    I did as he asked, and then the Holocron came on, a red figure came up.


    He began to talk, "Whoever has opened this, I am Lord Yerzan, Left Hand of Darth Asla, those that seek my wisdom-"


    However, the Holocron suddenly exploded, Lord Frezan then spoke, "Yerzan......."


    He was in deep contemplation, and then he stood up.


    Lord Frezan looked towards me and said, "My Apprentice, I destroyed the Holocron as Yerzan wished for his Legacy to not be continued...."


    "I, only have one more wish, that is that my traitor apprentice dies... Once that wish is fulfilled, I can finally leave this World and pass on...."


    What are you? A Jedi? I thought you wanted Immortality like Palpatine? Like Zash?


    But I felt that Lord Frezan wasn''t lying either, so I replied, "Master, I will definitely accomplish your wish!".


    Lord Frezan replied, "Go now...."


    I left for the Academy, carrying the lightsaber, Tuk''ata Heart, Stingers and Horns, whilst they weren''t heavy, there were hard to carry.


    As I was walking to the Academy, near there, I saw the Lady Sith Lord, seeing her. I took a long way around and went to Inquisitor Vern''s Office, there I gave him the Heart, Stingers and Horns.


    Inquisitor Vern looked to me and said, "Ah... You have my thanks..."


    It was quite odd, but I wanted to say something, but he cut me off, "Lady Vaysera is looking for you!".


    Who?


    It was probably the Sith Lady I was avoiding, but if Inquisitor Vern said so, he probably wasn''t lying...


    So, well, I guess, I have to go.


    As I walked, I saw the Sith Lady, next to her was a man, shrouded in a black cloth and there seemed to be armour beneath it.


    I shook when I saw him, if he wasn''t a Darth, then he-


    Wait, is he the Sith Lord that Lord Frezan was talking about?


    A bunch of theories started to appear, but I tried to focus on the present and I walked.


    In the middle, I just seemed to notice was Overseer Rarhun, smiling and looking at me strangely, as I went to him, he even went up close to me and hugged me, I just stayed still and I saw the other Sith Warrior.


    As our eyes connected, he suddenly moved back in fear.


    Overseer Rarhun patted my back and exclaimed, "Hahaha, Shaange, you must''ve been hiding your skills from your Grandfather, in a mere two days, you have passed your trials!"


    (Shaange, is his real name in this World, but I still call him Frederick)


    Wait a minute, what??


    Maybe, I was as quick as the Sith Warrior and Inquisitor from SWTOR? Well, just a day slower.


    I was going to ask why then I remembered the incident with the Sith Warrior......


    Looking at the Lady Sith Lord she smiled, I was creeped out, but I was in total fear, as I looked to the Sith Lord that was shrouded, he looked to be someone that could strike me down as casually as simply cutting a piece of weed.....

 Sith (I) Korriban

    His current strength:Not as strong as the Sith Warrior, he had his Force Prowess amplified by Lord Frezan, but nobody except for those two know such. Also, the next few chapters will be basically him, actually getting strong enough around the Sith Warrior''s strength.So don''t ask about his strength, please.


    I stood still, in fear.


    Not knowing what to do, I simply stood still.


    At that moment, the Sith Lord looked to me and asked a question, "Shaange, are you an Inquisitor or Warrior?".


    I wondered if it was a question based on my opinion, or what I really was going to become.


    Though I chose Warrior, I was having second thoughts.


    After all, this wasn''t SWTOR, who could say, that I simply, couldn''t do two classes at once?


    Also, I really, really wanted a double-bladed lightsaber......


    I''d, of course, have to be careful not to cut myself, but still.....


    Well, at the end, I simply chose Inquisitor....


    Look don''t judge, I really wanted to be a Sith Assassin, which was the advanced group of Inquisitor.


    Ironically, Assassins which are to work in the shadows and deal hits that one hit kill, are tanks in SWTOR.


    I don''t mean like actual tanks, the one in wars.


    But, DPS absorbers, which honestly, struck me very strangely....


    Well, if there wasn''t the Sith Assassin subclass, I would''ve simply chosen Warrior, but I remember that you need a lot of "Rage" for it apparently.


    And, I''m a pretty calm guy, so yeah.


    I looked to the Sith Lord and said, "Inquisitor".


    As I said this, I could see the Sith Lady frown and the Sith Lord smile and he began to speak.


    "I, Lord Prosel hereby, grant you the title and rank of Inquisitor".


    Wait what?


    I didn''t even know that Inquisitor was by itself a base rank.


    Well, this is strange.....


    I suppose I count as the lowest rank of Sith now.


    My expression was without meaning, however, Lord Prosel then spoke, "I granted you the title and rank, due to your prowess against, Lady Vaysera''s poor excuse, of a Sith Warrior...."


    It appears that the Sith Lady''s name is Vaysera.


    I looked to her, who simply said, "Inquisitor Shaange, you have done me a favour, by ridding me of such a weak Apprentice...."


    She then looked to the Sith Warrior and immediately said, "Give him your Lightsaber!".The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    The Sith Warrior had a look of despair, however, he quickly threw his Lightsaber to me and seemed to move back.


    Lady Vaysera then spoke, "Thirteen and already an Inquisitor, very few have accomplished such a deed, therefore for you have an Apprentice yourself within ten years, wouldn''t be strange".


    Lord Prosel, then moved forward slightly and said, "Inquisitor Shaange, I too am impressed by such skills, and currently, I am looking for another Apprentice, it-"


    Before Lord Prosel, could finish his sentence, Lady Vaysera came and interrupted him, "Inquisitor Shaange, I have been missing an Apprentice myself...."


    Looking at both of them, I realized something....


    I was a toy....


    A game to the both of them....


    It was likely that these two mighty Sith Lords were fighting over each other, the prize wasn''t me, it was the humiliation of the loser that showed that the winner was the superior Sith.


    Not wanting to become a prize or toy, I decided to reject both of them.


    "My apologies, Lord Prosel and Lady Vaysera, but I wish to first.... Do something else..."


    I didn''t know what to say, if I chose Lady Vaysera, I would likely go through the Lord Zash route, if I chose Lord Prosel, I would probably go through the Darth Baras route.


    Well, it wasn''t like that they were that different anyway.


    Both of them betrayed their Apprentices, but ultimately fell for doing so.


    Lord Prosel smiled and Lady Vaysera frowned, it seemed that it truly was a game to them both.


    Lord Prosel likely just didn''t want for me to become an Apprentice to Lady Vaysera, even if I did become an Apprentice to Lord Prosel, it was highly unlikely, that he would actually care or bother about me.


    Lord Prosel smiling then said, "Inquisitor Shaange, shall I report this to your Grandfather?".


    I immediately replied, "No! It isn''t necessary".


    He laughed a bit, it was likely that he knew of my Grandfather somehow.


    Lady Vaysera still frowning looked to me and said, "I will excuse myself then Lord Prosel, goodbye to the both of you".


    Lord Prosel did likewise, "Very well, then goodbye to the both of you as well."


    Both of them started to leave with Lady Vaysera being followed by her remaining Sith Warrior.


    First thing I wanted to do was go to my room, I was slightly worried that they found out about my bed cloth being half of my first robe.


    As I went to my room, it turns out that I was beaten there, I mean come on, where they NPCs?


    How else could they be so quick?


    I slowly went there and tried to get in my room, where I was addressed by an unfamiliar face.


    "Ah, you must be Inquisitor Shaange, Lord Prosel, told me of your new rank, as soon as it was conferred...."


    I looked at him and asked, "Who are you?".


    He replied, "I am Lieutenant Tarvis, at your service, Lord Prosel, has commanded me to relocate your residence to the Inquisitor Section, which is located one floor above, please follow me."


    0_0


    I felt as if he was a hotel waiter of some sort, it was simply the way he talked and how he acted....


    I followed him and eventually, he showed me a room, entering it, it was so big...


    A bed, a cabinet or two, but there was virtually nothing else.


    What do I do with all this space?


    Inquisitor Vern might as well keeping the restricting device within his own room!


    There was more space in here than in his office.


    At that time, an Imperial trooper came up from behind and asked Lieutenant Tarvis and me a question, "My Lord, Lieutenant Tarvis, we found this....."


    OMG, it''s my baton!


    I must have simply dropped it in my room, honestly, though, I didn''t even remember about it after I purposely broke it to scare everyone.


    I looked to the Imperial trooper and said, "Give it to me...."


    Immediately he gave it to me, and as soon as I took it, he moved slightly back.


    Another Imperial trooper then came and said, "We found this...."


    It was my blanket, I coughed and said, "Give it to me...."


    Lieutenant Tarvis looked to me with a strange expression but immediately looked away.


    Oi, what''s with that look?


    He himself then coughed and said, "My Lord, your wardrobe.... Has been updated also, to fit Imperial Standards...."


    I immediately went and looked inside my cabinet, there were the same purple clothing that Inquisitor Vern was wearing...


    Though the clothing was similar, I have to say, all the fashion experts have gone to the sides of the Sith......


    Commanding, Lieutenant Tarvis out of the room, I began to change, I made some tiny minor adjustments....


    First thing I did was making the shoes slightly taller.


    Though I was thirteen, I looked to be about fifteen or sixteen.


    With the face, I inherited from my Grandfather and Inquisitor Clothes which I was wearing, I marched to Inquisitor Vern''s office.


    I had a few questions to ask him, as I was walking, I wondered what happened to that Acolyte?


    Vern will fell the burn (Ok, I''ll show myself out now.)

 Child (I) Korriban

    As I walked to his Office, I saw several Imperial troopers just outside it.


    Walking towards it, there I was stopped by an Imperial trooper that informed me what happened....


    "My Lord, Inquisitor Vern has been summoned to Dromund Kaas, his position is now formally yours".


    "Clearance has now been assigned"


    Did I ask----


    Wait, what?


    Why would Inquisitor Vern be summoned to Dromund Kaas?


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OFFrederick


    Inside a small ship, there was Inquisitor Vern kneeling down to a hologram.


    "Vern......." The voice called out in dissent and anger.


    "Why have you left Korriban?"


    Inquisitor Vern spoke in fear, "My Lord, Lord Prosel, has begun to suspect me!".


    The voice then lashed out, "That specimen..... Is far too important to be lost!".


    Before Inquisitor Vern could answer back, the voice of the ship''s computer could be heard.


    "Incoming call, accept or decline, from Lord Prosel".


    Inquisitor Vern shouted out, "Decline!".


    However, the computer replied.


    "Decline command overridden, the call is accepted".


    From then on, there were two holograms, one was a man with a strange scar on his head.


    That was Lord Zavan, Frederick''s Grandfather, then there was a smiling Lord Prosel.


    Lord Prosel looked to Inquisitor Vern and spoke, "Vern... Your father was a worthy retainer, however, you havebeen less than worthy...."


    Vern was then slowly lifted up andwas being choked.


    As he was, he continuously squirmed, but in his eyes was a sense of contentment forsome reason.


    Lord Zavan seeing this felt fear using the Force through a hologram, was by no means an easy feat, especially if the distance was from a planet to a ship hovering above its atmosphere.


    Lord Prosel laughing then looked to Lord Zavan and spoke, "Zavan, Zavan, how long has it been?".


    Lord Zavan immediately shut off his hologram, and Lord Prosel smiling and then also disappeared.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    Lord Zavan looked backwards and knelt and put on a hologram, he spoke, "Master, Lord Prosel himself has killed Vern".


    The hologram was none other than Darth Norgiov, looking down in a calm manner, he replied, "Prosel, will fall like Frezan did, Vern''s death is a minor matter, but if Vern did truly bring that specimen..... That would be most unfavourable..."


    (Bigger power plays than you can expect)


    BACK IN THE VIEWPOINT OFFrederick.


    There, I saw the acolyte and as well, Overseer Rarhun.


    Overseer Rarhun first spoke to me, "This is an acolyte that Inquisitor Vern would keep here, do you know anything about him?"


    Wasn''t he the one that offended you?


    The acolyte looked to me in fear and moved back stumbling.


    I replied, "Inquisitor Vern, told me that, he kept him here, under your supervision".


    Overseer Rarhun had a confused expression and replied, "No matter, do what you wish to do with him".


    He then left the room, now there was only be and the acolyte left.


    Though some Imperial troopers would enter and leave to renovate some stuff, after ten minutes, they were all gone.


    I looked to the frightened acolyte and felt quite a bit strange, I did the things in the past, as to make sure I got a good reputation and get on the good side of Inquisitor Vern.


    But now, I didn''t have to do it anymore, but I didn''t know how to make the acolyte calm.


    If I didn''t kill this acolyte and let his rage build up, he might become a Sith and he would use his hatred of me as a source of his power!


    I could kill him now, or get rid of his hatred of me....


    I didn''t want to kill, I would only do so when they had the intent of killing me likewise.


    Since I had drawn the blade first, naturally, I should be the first to sheathe it.


    I asked him a question, "Do you know the Code of the Sith?".


    He began to barely recite it, "Peace is a lie.... there is only passion...."


    I looked at him and spoke, "But, what is peace? What is passion?".


    He didn''t reply, and I simply said, "Peace has always been the truth, and passion, its instrument."


    I began to speak random wise stuff, the young acolyte looked to me and asked a question quivering, "But, the Sith Code...."


    I looked at him and replied, "The Sith Code is full of half-truths and inadequacies, to master the Dark Side, is only one side of the Force...."


    The acolyte looked to me as if he hungered for knowledge, he wanted to know more....


    But I simply replied, "Stay here, I will be back in due time...."


    However, the acolyte looked to me in reverence, he was someone that wished to know more!


    I left the room, but the acolyte continued to follow, as I walked to Lord Frezan''s Tower, he kept following me.


    All the way to the tower, he kept following me, even as I walked up the Tower, he kept following.


    I didn''t run, I simply walked my normal speed, I wished to see how far he would follow.


    Eventually, I made it to the top of the Tower, I knelt down to Lord Frezan, and as I did, the acolyte did likewise.


    Lord Frezan''s voice then echoed, though this time even weaker, "Well, well, if it isn''t Inquisitor Frederick and his Apprentice?".


    I simply replied, "I have yet to accept him...."


    Lord Frezan''s voice echoed once more, "He is human, but he has an extremely small amount of Sith Pureblood Ancestry within him....."


    He continued, "Ragnos, Kreesh, Naga, since the Empire''s beginning, humans and Sith have interbred with each other...."


    I didn''t want to interrupt him, but the acolyte did so.


    He quivered and spoke, "Are.... you a Force Ghost??".


    Lord Frezan laughed and said, "Indeed I am, child, what is your name?


    The acolyte replied, "I never had one....."


    Lord Frezan then asked, "Who were your parents?".


    The acolyte replied, "They were--"


    Suddenly the acolyte fell, Lord Frezan stood up and looked to the acolyte.


    He tried to touch the acolyte, however, at that time, he was pushed back and a vortex of the force enveloped him.


    Lord Frezan''s ghostly blue, had turned faint and vague, it was almost transparent....


    He muttered weakly, "The Emperor has touched this child....."


    Hearing this, I remembered a certain Jedi Consular from SWTOR......

 Child (II) Korriban

    "Master!". My reaction was a bit slow as the first person I thought of was the First Son.


    Even I was able to sense him becoming weaker, I looked to him now almost transparent.


    At that time, the acolyte became enveloped with a crimson aura, it looked to me and suddenly, I felt my mind being crushed....


    It was attempting to invade my mind, I tried to block it out, but it was virtually impossible.


    I saw the red acolyte standing up and speaking to me, "You who have awakened me from my slumber...."


    Then a vortex that pushed me back appeared, and my mind was being strained, however at the same time.


    I remembered something, I knew of things, outside this Galaxy....


    Beginning to think of them, I wondered what would frighten the Emperor the most.


    Remembering that Darth Malgus, Baras and other figures like him didn''t exist, it was likely that this was another Emperor.


    Suddenly, the entire scenery changed.


    This was the scenery of the Hero of Tython defeating the Voice of the Emperor.


    Nor I or the acolyte had places, but I made it so that the Emperor watched.


    The acolyte shuddered and exclaimed, "No.... Who are you to receive such visions!".


    Suddenly, the Voice of the Emperor was slain by the Knight of Tython.


    "NOOOOOO" As if it was an ancient voice that cried out its death cry, the acolyte looked to me and dispersed.


    Suddenly, everything was back to the Tower and the acolyte was asleep.


    I looked at him in a bewildered manner, to kill or not to kill, this was a question I had to ask myself.


    Then Lord Frezan stood up and noticed something in the air....


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "What a strange vision..... He who struckme down, then to hold my own Crown....."


    BACK IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "The Emperor''s presence...... From the acolyte, it is gone...."


    Lord Frezan looked to the boy in bewilderment like me, though in an even greater sense.


    I don''t know how I survived, wasn''t the Emperor meant to be among the most powerful?


    Maybe, I had plot armour?


    I wasn''t sure, but I wouldn''t dare to do another thing as risky as that.


    Then the acolyte yawned and look to me and said, "Inquisitor Shaange, what happened?".If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Oh for ..........................


    Looking at fear to Lord Frezan, I felt like running away.


    Lord Frezan looked towards me laughing and said, "HAHAHA, don''t worry, I already know, you''re my traitor apprentice''s Grandson."


    "I even know of your passion being the instrument of Peace....."


    I looked to Lord Frezan and asked, "If you knew already, then why?"


    He looked to me and said, "Hope...."


    He then began to disperse, and glow brightly, "Look here......."


    Laughing he continued, "This charade has gone long enough, it''s time to pass on, my young apprentice in truth, I can''t be bothered to care about my traitor apprentice, a man like him, will get himself killed in due time, but you.....


    You will go on, much further than even me myself..... Tch, to even force the Emperor himself outside of your Mind....That is why, I can go now, knowing, I have done something at least that will contribute to the birth of a Conquerer.... Even if I don''t go, the Emperor will find me..... goodbye my young apprentice....


    Disappearing, I saw Lord Frezan become one with the Force, a moment of silence, it was a very rare occurrence in which anyone would become a Force Ghost, and even rarer if one was is to pass on and to become One with Force, especially so, if that one is Sith.


    Tears, why did you fall down? I wasn''t sure, honestly, if this was all happening within a game, I would complain and say that it was all rushed.


    But reality and playing games, they were different....


    This was a reality, each hour I spent felt more than an hour should be.


    An hour within a game, truly couldn''t be thought as an hour.


    I looked to the confused acolyte, not sure, how I should feel, I felt the Force calling out to me, but I didn''t answer.


    Looking outside the Tower, I felt a sense of anguish and contentment.


    I laughed at how this felt like a generic and terrible plot for a game or novel. (<--- Damn, this is generic and terrible)


    But, as this was my reality, it felt so different.


    Not knowing my parents, the only person, I could really think of being connected with, was my Master, Lord Frezan.


    "Master..... My plan was to survive, but for you... I''ll push the old Emperor off his Throne if I have to..."


    I looked to the nearby acolyte and said, "From now on you are Aridal, what has happened today, you speak none of!".


    I looked to the Valley of the Dark Lords.


    Remembering the great hidden treasures there, I decided to go, with Aridal following, I felt a new lease of life.


    The First Year


    A year passed and Aridal was now far braver, he was also slightly annoying, always correcting me, but he was also perplexed and wishing to learn about the random wise stuff I spoke about.


    In secrecy, I began to loot and take more and more of the treasures hidden within the tombs, I did so in secrecy as to not attract anyone''s attention.


    Slowly and slowly becoming more stronger, I found more and more, materials, as I was forced to fight the numerous shyracks and Tuk''ata.


    I frequently used the first lightsaber and simply kept the second lightsaber within my pocket.


    On one of those days, I picked up the lightsaber hilt that I left at the Tower and kept it with me, I also found the time to fix the baton and give it to Aridal, who was overjoyed.


    The Second Year


    Yet another year passed, the corpses of acolytes everywhere desensitized both me and Aridal.


    In order to stop Aridal from going on too much the Path of the Sith, I taught him the clumsy moves I knew which he actually himself improved upon.


    I didn''t tell him anything of the Sith Code, finding it better to teach him about the Jedi, if I did teach him Sith, I feared he would betray me for another Master.


    At this time, my body was developing, I could feel myself become stronger.


    Also, I found out apparently there was a cafeteria at the Academy, well, I actually was going there about a day or two after Lord Frezan''s oneness with the Force.


    The Third Year


    Honestly, I was so quiet, that I think Overseer Rarhun, thought that I died.


    The reason I say that, is because, I saw him one day and he exclaimed, "Inquisitor Shaange, you''re alive! But... I told your Grandfather...."


    I told him not to worry and not tell my Grandfather, I was alive.


    I would in time, have to kill him.


    My prowess in the Force became quite impressive, along with my physical body, I could say, I would be able to defeat the Sith Warrior with him using a lightsaber and me without one.


    The reason being? I was confident, one hand would block his hand with the lightsaber and the other wound punch his face!


    As for Aridal, his physical prowess was terrible, but his Force prowess was simply incredible.


    Before I knew it, he could use Force lightning already and Force push objects far away, fortunately, he was deeply loyal, otherwise, I would''ve been pushed off a hill by now or fried by lightning....


    Also, today was special.....


    Today was the day, I received some news......


    As if the entire Galaxy shook, an event happened.

 Rebellion (I) Korriban

    The Planet of Balmorra, normally under Imperial control, had suddenly had a rebellion.


    I expected the Grand Marshal Cheketta, but surprisingly, they were a group of Jedi Exiles.


    No, not Meetra Surik.


    But, rather a group of Jedi that was apparently "exiled" for their unfounded beliefs...


    Anyone could tell, that they were simply under a cover.


    However,it was more than just that.


    These group of Jedi Exiles also had Sith in them!


    Not just that, they killed both Jedi and Sith!


    Raging against both the Empire and Republic, I thought that this group would be crushed within a week, but even more surprisingly, they held out and within days, pushed out all Republic and Empire influence within half the planet!


    HOLY COW


    Were they incredible, the thought of Revanites came into my head, but I realized that this was unlikely, as Revan likely didn''t exist in this Galaxy, at least, I think?


    I knew this by reading the Propaganda News of the Empire, though they would often exaggerate their power, they wouldn''t so for their enemies.


    It was likely that the Balmorra situation was true, and I decided, that I and Aridal would go there, we would go to earn merits.


    It would be very easy, in wars like this, where there would be virtually millions of soldiers, I and Aridal would only have to sit back and watch, by doing so, in our reports it would say we greatly contributed to the war.


    Some soldiers that never saw the fight would gain merits or accomplishments, of course, it would be easier for me and Aridal.


    Also, in the Propaganda News were how the Hutts were slowly gaining power and also growing concerns of our ally, Mandalore and the Mandalorians.


    However, the news about Balmorra was definitely the most interesting, I wondered about how they kept their manpower, and it turned out it was through their droids.


    I wondered how many years they waited for this moment, it was unlikely that this was the source, but rather this was probably a splinter group part of a bigger group that was simply waiting.


    Like how Mandalore was used by the Vitiate to simply gauge the strength of the Republic, this was likely the same.


    Some bigger power was using Balmorra to gauge the strength of the Empire and Republic, but even if someone knew this, they likely couldn''t act upon it.


    If the Empire withdrew, the Republic may gain control of Balmorra and vice-versa.


    When I told Overseer Rarhun of my decision to go and take Aridal, he was nervous, but agreed.


    Taking everything I had, I was put on a small starship and we were sent to the Balmorra Space Station.


    Obviously, the small starship wouldn''t directly go to Balmorra.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    On the Balmorra Space Station, Aridal would often tell me, "Master, when will get to Balmorra...."


    He seemed to be ready for war, but in truth, he was still afraid, but he truly wanted to test out his strength.


    I wanted to wait for a bit more, on the space station, there were a toilet, a cafeteria and virtually everything you could think of.


    Even a cantina was located there, I would accept it if it was located on a planet, but why one on a space station?


    Aridal was quite amazed, but to protect his purity, I closed his eyes and didn''t let him see.


    There, I decided to change my Inquisitor wear, it looked though after I changed it, virtually the same, except for the parts around the neck were removed or made smaller.


    Doing this, really relaxed my neck, I wonder how the other Inquisitor''s felt, terribly uncomfortable, I''d believe...


    I''m not sure, exactly what my armour is made off, but it feels to be a mix or between plastic and metal.


    It was strong enough to be resistant against blaster bolts, but it was pretty light and slightly felt like plastic...


    As for Aridal, he wore a skintight bodysuit, it was violet and resembled Darth Malak''s own skintight, though without the cape and the part at the belt section.


    There was a tiny shoulder guardon both sides, he added to make himself feel more important.


    Though he had a large amount of Midi-Chlorians, well that was an estimate, but he could use the Force to incredible degrees.


    His control of it, however, was terrible.


    He could, however, still Force Push and Force Lightning pretty well, but would lose control, if he continued for too long.


    How long was too long?


    About five seconds.


    As I said before, his physical prowess was terrible, but he was surprisingly flexible.


    He was actually seventeen, which was a year older than me, but he was frequently malnourished before he met me, because of that, though he was growing now, he lost his chance to truly grow tall during puberty, thus he was stuck to being shorter than me.


    His face was one that no longer looked always in fear, it looked quite handsome and it attracted the looks of some ladies, who were scared away by my face.


    At my age of sixteen, I looked to be around eighteen or nineteen, and I didn''t tell Aridal, I feared if I did, he would ask about the seniority since he was older.


    I wanted to hide my identity, but that was obviously impossible.


    Also, as I was waiting for the next transport ship to Balmorra, I looked at how the Empire worked.


    Also, my suspicions of Inquisitor being a separate rank were answered.


    All Sith Apprentices were either Inquisitors or Warriors, though it didn''t work Vice versa.


    There were also Sith Marauders, Sorcerers, Assassins and Juggernauts.


    All Sith Lords were either one of these, though once again, it wasn''t Vice versa.


    It was now almost time, I stayed on the Balmorra Space Station for about an hour or two.


    I and Aridal were now going on to a transport Starship,though the Republic and Empire were facing a "Cold War", they had battleships and dreadnaughts ready for any time.


    Though Balmorra was an important planet, it paled in comparison to Aldeeran and others such as Quesh, that gave great economic benefit, though such benefits were likely unfounded at this current time, additionally, an alliance with the Hutt Cartel would be easier with Quesh, due to the interesting prospects and chemicals.


    As both I and Aridal entered the ship, the Officersbesides were saluting.


    We entered through a different way to the soldiers and Officers.


    I was registered as Inquisitor Shaange, that being my birth name and Aridal was registered as a following Acolyte that had the ability to use my name.


    If it wasn''t for me, then Aridal would likely already passed his Sith Trials to be true Sith and have a Sith Lord as a Master, but he seemed to be sticking to me.


    The random wisdom I said to him, were akin to the words of Ancients to Sith Lords, held in reverence and worship,


    On the Transport Ship, I saw no other Sith, it would be a rare occasion that Sith uses transport ships, that would be because their Masters would often give them a ship, or they would have their own.


    Sitting in a corner with Aridal, nobody dared to approach us, but some were content when seeing us both.


    After all, if Sith were present, a Rebellion would always be pushed down far easier.


    But, in all honesty, I planned on staying within the bases, and not leaving to fight.


    I might just for show, or when a large group of troopers went, I would go to raise their morale, if many Sith went, I could hide behind them.


    As we were on the ship, we were near touching down, I heard an explosion outside.......


    Opening the door was....


    Well, at least, I would raise the morale right now.

 Changes (I) Balmorra

    Please be droids.... Please be droids.....


    Though I spent those three years killing Tuk''ata, shyracks and whatever else there was, as well as seeing the corpses, I still was a bit afraid of killing someone.


    I guess this was racism against anything that wasn''t humanoid, but-


    Actually, I''ll just blame it on my past life''s morals.


    Obviously, though, I would still kill, but if I had the choice, I would rather not to.


    I was ready to jump, as the door was opening, there was a.....


    Human....


    He had a lightsaber, but I didn''t know if he was a Jedi or Sith, but by the looks of it, he was a Jedi.


    Behind him were several droids and a few humans, though those few humans didn''t seem to be Jedi.


    He then began to speak, "We are the Balmorran Resistance Force, we have had enough of the Republic and Empire, only breeding war, Balmorra wants no part of the war!".


    I then spoke, "The Empire and Republic are under the Treaty of Coruscant, what war do you speak of?".


    Obviously, I knew that the treaty counted for virtually nothing, but I wanted to see how he would reply.


    He replied, "Sith, the Peace you have with the Republic, is only to prepare for a greater war!".


    I replied, "Then what is the War with Republic? To prepare for Peace? There will always be Peace and War, only when one side dominates is their Peace".


    He looked to me and said, "People like you should join us, our movement will spread throughout the Galaxy!".


    This was a crazy man, but I decided to talk with more, "Are you crazy? Then won''t the Galaxy turn into a group of Planet-States? One of these Planet-States will begin to devour each other and another will decide to create an Alliance..."


    He froze and looked at me, and then said, "If you won''t join us, then....."


    I was honestly getting annoyed, not that much, but I felt like I was arguing with an NPC or someone that wouldn''t change their mind.


    But, I wanted to see, if they would attack, if they didn''t I wouldn''t myself.


    He gulped for a second and quickly moved back and then yelled, "Attack!". The humans behind him also moved back, the door was quite big, about a droid or two at once began to enter, immediately all the people began to shoot, the droids were all destroyed the moment they entered.


    But as they were, during the destruction of one of them, a grenade was dropped, and it interfered with the fighting, it was a smokescreen....


    For a split second, there was no shooting.


    But, then I could hear the screams of the Imperial Soldiers, though they couldn''t see, the droids could, and a grenade would naturally be better in an enclosed area.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    Trying to raise the morale, I threw my lightsaber and it easily sliced through the droids, fortunately, they weren''t made of anything like Beskar or something.


    The trouble though was carefully bringing back the lightsaber.


    Though, when the Imperial soldiers did see the thrown lightsaber they gave a slight cheer and went on more boldly, some didn''t and just looked at me.


    Instead of catching it with the lightsaber on, I put the lightsaber off using the Force and then caught it.


    Though some would catch it with the lightsaber on, they would only do so likely due to their expertise or that they had to.


    I myself wasn''t going to take that risk.


    Aridal simply watched, I then told him, "Electrocute them.."


    He smiled and began to electrocute them, the droids were obviously no match and they easily fell.


    There were only several droids, thus they were all gone within the minute that the Jedi moved back.


    Leaving the ship, I went out through one of the two exits.


    I wondered how the other group of the other exit was going, they were likely fine, but this was, after all, only a transport ship, not something high on the priority list.


    As for people on the centre, therewas probably nobody there, even the Captain of the Ship was here, he felt that it was safer nearer someone like me.


    Leaving the ship, it was completely surrounded by even more droids, I, however, had a plan.


    Going down the stairs, a few Imperial soldiers followed me and Aridal was right next to me.


    The Jedi looked to me and said, "Sith, surrender now, you are surrounded!".


    I then replied, "You seem to only be using droids, fear for your own life?".


    The Jedi looked at me and replied, "Surrender, or we will begin to shoot".


    I smiled and said, "Do you value your life as much as mine?".


    I held up my hand and pointed towards him in the same way, someone would Force Choke.


    He shuddered and replied, "Even, if I die, as long as people like you die, then it will be a death worthy!".


    I began to choke him slightly and began to do more pressure, "Very well....."


    I could barely lift him up, and slowly I moved my hands to his neck, but he was already being choked, so he had a hard time talking.


    He then began to say, "Wait!".


    I stopped, but I kept him levitating, and I replied, "Should you fire your droids upon us, you will be the first casualty".


    It was likely that he wasn''t a Jedi Knight, but a Jedi Padawan, if he truly was a Jedi Knight, he wouldn''t need these droids, they would simply charge at me.


    The Jedi began to sweat and say, "Perhaps, we can come to an agreement...".


    I knew that an agreement right now would be virtually impossible.


    There were Imperial soldiers all around me, I needed to consolidate myself, "Pitiful....."


    Fortunately, the Jedi Padawan seemed to be one that left the Order as soon as he got his lightsaber if he was a Kira Carsen or even worse, Nadia Grell.


    Though they were only Padawans, they were far beyond the scope of some Jedi Knights and in some sense, Jedi Masters.


    I looked to Aridal next to me and whispered, "Electrocute them all"


    Aridal began to electrocute them all, as for the Jedi, I immediately began to choke him once more and within five seconds, he fainted.


    It wasn''t that I didn''t want to kill him, I simply couldn''t....


    I felt that my power was closer, or perhaps it was fear, that I would become a monster that stopped me from doing so.


    Regardless, Aridal easily electrocuted all the droids, though some withstood it, the Imperial soldiers quickly followed the lead and shot them all.


    I walked down and saw the other humans, they began to run, but I couldn''t stop them.


    If I ran after them, I feared I would enter into a trap, I had just entered Balmorra and a battle had already happened.


    I simply moved to the fainted Jedi.


    He was a Padawan likely, one that left as soon as he got his lightsaber, I wonder why, perhaps, it was a calling or something greater.


    But, regardless, I took his lightsaber and seeing the Imperial soldiers, I said in a loud voice, "Treat the wounded and become ready for any other attacks!".


    Immediately they all complied, and within the hour, another group appeared, it was the group that escape through the other side.


    Seeing they were fine, it was likely, that I simply chose the unlucky exit.


    Honestly, though, I wondered why the Balmorran Resistance Force sprang out, the idea of Revanites came up again, but I knew it was likely something else, though similar.


    But, here I was, on Balmorra, and my journey began here.

 Changes (II) Balmorra

    Currently, I was within a stronghold.


    About ten minutes after staying there, an Officer and a squadron of Imperial troops arrived, seeing me and Aridal, he granted the both of us, first access and the rest of the troops slowly followed.


    Instead of asking me, the Officer immediately went to the Captain and soldiers, who all said that my calm manner and dealing with the Jedi was charismatic and incredible.


    Ok, I did change some of the words, but they''re synonyms, so, virtually the same.


    Another thing, they were surprised with was Aridal''s display of Force lightning, the Imperial soldiers claimed it was beautiful in its power.


    When I told Aridal, he laughed and replied, "I never knew my lightning was so beautiful!".


    I slightly worried for his personality.


    But, fortunately, like me, he had yet to touch the Dark Side.


    Yes, I know Force Lightning is evil, but it doesn''t have to be used for evil purposes.


    As for Force Choking? Even Jedi could use it, they simply chose not to.


    I was currently sitting down, I had some food to eat, as did Aridal.


    We were both looking at the Jedi, I was unsure why he would leave the Jedi Order, he was only a Padawan, maybe he left when he was deployed to the Planet?


    No.... It was unlikely that he wouldn''t be deployed.


    I guess there was a chance, that he might have volunteered, but until he woke up, I would have to wait.


    I would occasionally go toilet, but Aridal never went, which kind of surprised me.


    Did you not have to go toilet?


    As we waited and waited, nothing happened, though I did receive some reports that a Sith Lord would arrive.


    I simply waited and kept looking to the Jedi.


    I started to slap him and try to make him awake, but that didn''t work, so I slapped harder and harder, but he simply was still asleep.


    Eventually, the Sith Lord arrived, he was surrounded by several Elite Imperial soldiers and there was an Inquisitor besides him.


    As I saw him I greeted him positively as did Aridal, "Greetings, My Lord, I am Inquisitor Shaange and this is my Apprentice, Acolyte Aridal...."


    The Inquisitor next to the Sith Lord scoffed and said, "An acolyte dressed like Sith...."


    Hearing this, Aridal had a face of slight anger and replied, "Hmmph, I bet you''re weaker than my Mas-- No, me!".


    The Sith Lord''s eyes widened and I simply stayed quiet, the Inquisitor hearing retorted, "Let''s see right now!".The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    The Sith Inquisitor immediately got out his Lightsaber and stood back, and just as he was able to say something, Aridal started to electrify him.


    Though part of it was blocked by the Lightsaber, the Inquisitor still had to deal with the majority of the lightning.


    Aridal''s lightning began to become out of control, the Inquisitor then used this chance as the majority of the lightning simply dispersed.


    He came running and Aridal''s lightning, however, became stronger, and they were both in danger of killing each other or at least harming each other.


    The Sith Lord took a step forward, but he would probably be a bit too slow.


    I stepped forward, and put my hand to the right, Aridal seeing me, stopped his lightning, as he did, my right hand which was under armour, felt little to no lightning at all.


    As for the left, I disarmed the Sith Inquisitor quite easily, thankfully he was an Inquisitor and not a Sith Warrior, otherwise, it might''ve been quite difficult.


    As for how I disarmed him, I simply went below and twisted my arm, easily doing so.


    The Inquisitor looked to me in anger and tried to electrocute me, I put my hand to stop Aridal, the lightning came to me, but I simply stood still and put my hands forward.


    The lightning mostly touched the armour and whatever did touch me, I simply bore it.


    I smiled and then threw him his lightsaber and said, "Had, my Apprentice''s lightning continued, you would''ve died, and even your Master wouldn''t have been able to save you in time".


    Of course, that was a guess, I wasn''t fully sure about the Sith Lord''s ability, but the Sith Lord was simply quiet, sighed and then looked to me.


    "Inquisitor Shaange, I believe?".


    I nodded my head, and he continued, "You, have quite the reputation..... In my belief, you subdued a Jedi as soon as you got off the ship?


    Looking at him I replied, "My Lord, he barely counts as such, I currently have his Lightsaber and he is over there".


    Pointing to where the Jedi was, I moved forwards him, and the Sith Lord followed.


    The Sith Lord asked, "How long has he been asleep?".


    I replied, "An hour or so, My Lord, he fainted ever so quickly...."


    The Sith Lord gave off a little laugh and said, "A traitorous Jedi, does not abide by the Treaty of Coruscant, you seem to be keeping him alive for information, but I would''ve killed him by now...."


    "Give me his lightsaber".


    I immediately tossed him the Jedi''s lightsaber, he put it on and I saw a green light appeared.


    The Jedi, for some reason, didn''t even use the Lightsaber, if I didn''t feel the Force from him or looked at his clothing, I would imagine he was just someone with a Lightsaber.


    He then put it off and withdrew the Lightsaber''s Kyber crystal, he then began to squeeze on the Kyber crystal.


    He was turning it to red, or rather bleeding the Kyber crystal, through the dark side.


    I heard of such means, it was among one of the ways that red lightsabers came to be, though there were other crystals such as the Adegan Crystal and Kylo Ren''s own unstable Crystal, one way that the Sith would do, to get red coloured lightsabers, were to "bleed"a Kyber crystal.


    Kyber crystals, were attuned to the Force, and the Force was present on only living entities, the Kyber Crystal would naturally bleed then, as it was in a way living.


    Within moments, the Kyber crystal was fully red and he inserted it back into the Lightsaber, causing for the new Lightsaber to be a red coloured one.


    He looked to me and said, "Inquisitor Shaange, you have done a good deed, such a lightsaber would''ve gone to bad use in the hands of ones such as him...."


    He then used the lightsaber and beheaded the Jedi.


    WHAT THE......


    Why would you kill him?


    I thought you only disagreed with me keeping him alive?


    "Of course, your own Apprentice himself had a part, therefore, I, Lord Sheratus, grant your Apprentice, the title and rank of Inquisitor".


    Wait, what the.....


    Was the Inquisitor rank so cheap?


    Could any Sith Lord simply give it?


    Lord Sheratus simply gave it, as if it was just giving it, I could imagine Lord Prosel, as apparently, he could match a Darth in the prowess of the Force.


    But a random Sith Lord here just made my Apprentice an Inquisitor.....


    Oh.........


    Also, this makes him on the same level of authority, doesn''t this mess up the seniority?


    Maybe those at the Academy would be shouting and crying, if they knew how easily, someone was just made an Inquisitor.


    After all, some of them stayed there for days, months, even years some of them!

 Battlefield (I) Balmorra

    I SWEAR, If you ask Aridal, to become your Apprentice, I will literally kill you right now.


    I don''t know how, but I just will.


    I was ninety-nine percent sure, that a situation like that would occur.


    Lord Sheratus looked to me and said, "Inquisitor Shaange......"


    I got ready, I was ready if he asked me to relinquish my Apprentice, or ask my Apprentice to become his Apprentice, I would just strike him.


    This was simply how it was going, I was too focused ranting, I didn''t realize how cliche this was.


    I then put my head up as much as I could, I looked at him with the most ferocity I could and replied, "My Lord?".


    I tried to show him, I couldn''t be easily crushed like a bug.


    He looked to me and said, "I believe that Inquisitor Aridal will better serve under me".


    Oh no, you didn''t.


    I quickly replied, "My Lord, with all due respect, I find your teaching capabilities limited...."


    Lord Sheratus was amused and he gave a little chuckle, "How so?".


    Taking this chance I pointed and his Inquisitor Apprentice and said, "Your Apprentice is an example, look at how pitiful he is". (Apply ice to burn)


    The Inquisitor took a step forward, but the Sith Lord moved his hand in front of him and said, "Inquisitor Shaange, you speak bold words, do you have any backing?".


    I looked to him calmly and spoke, "Lord Zavan, my Grandfather."


    His expression didn''t change and he replied, "Ah, Zavan? He barely counts to be a Sith Lord, I suppose you, however, have a talented Sister...."


    Remembering my Sister, I wondered what her life was like, I then took this chance to say, "Lord Prosel...."


    Hearing, Lord Sheratus froze, and he replied, "A bluff...."


    I replied, "Do you know who it was that made me an Inquisitor?".


    Lord Sheratus started to laugh, it was a chuckle first, but it developed to a laugh and heeventually stopped and said, "Very well, but, the other Sith Lords will notice you when an Inquisitor has another Inquisitor as an Apprentice...."


    Throwing the Jedi''s now red lightsaber, he left with his grumbling Apprentice.


    Lord Sheratus, if I ever see you dying, I will simply watch you and not help you.


    Aridal looked to me in rage and said, "Master.... That person.... Must die...."


    Aridal''s devotion, in a way, was unfounded and strange.


    I simply replied, "Do not worry, about those like him...."


    At this point, I looked at the dead Jedi''s clothes....


    I took his body, which was definitely disgusting, though not the same disgusting as the rotting corpses I found within the tombs of Korriban.


    Then, I took off all his clothes and began to change into them....


    Over his clothes, however, was the Inquisitor Robe, well it wasn''t really a Robe.... But, I''m not sure how to describe it exactly.


    Why did I put his clothes beneath my Inquisitor Robe? No, why did I even wear his clothes?


    If the Sith lost a fight, I would immediately change my clothes as quick as possible, and pass myself as a wandering Jedi.


    As for Aridal, well, he would probably have to run....If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Obviously, I would try to stall for time for him.


    Both of us began to walk to the Main Stronghold, though not before buying the beheaded Jedi''s body and head, as a sign of thanks for the clothes.


    Fortunately, there was a road directly connecting it to the Stronghold we just came from, so it was quite easy to get there.


    As we did, we narrowly avoided fire and saw a fight, there were about seven or Sith fighting two or so Jedi.


    I simply stood and watched, one of the Jedi was being attacked by three Sith and being greatly suppressed, another was surrounded by four, however, was actually defeating the four.


    The one defeating four held two blue coloured lightsabers and in that moment, killed a Sith, making his challengers only three.


    The other Jedi held a green double-bladed lightsaber and was barely holding on, suddenly his arm was cut off, though it was only his left hand, which he wasn''t moving.


    The double-bladed lightsaber Jedi, however, used that moment of perceived weakness and killed a Sith himself.


    The dual wielding Jedi, was crazy, another Sith and another Sith. Against only one more Sith, this Sith seemed to hang on a bit better, but regardless, he still died, this all happened within about ten or so minutes....


    This Jedi then looked towards me....


    I simply stood still and stared.


    He then looked to the double-bladed lightsaber Jedi and went to help him, but half away, the sound of footsteps was heard.


    Those were my own footsteps.


    I was honestly surprised it got his attention, but it clearly did.


    Looking at me, I simply kept my calm expression, but then, he leapt towards me.


    Well, better me, than Aridal I guess.....


    I muttered, "Aridal".


    I moved back and I was prepared to run.


    Aridal then began to electrify the leaping, Jedi.


    But the Jedi simply withstood it.


    I then got out my lightsaber, remembering I had two.


    I got the other one out as well.


    Using both, I tried to block the dual wielding Jedi, he immediately came down to me, and I was barely able to withstand him.


    He then twisted his hands and tried to chop off my hands, barely dodging, I leapt backwards and Aridal began to try and electrify him once more.


    Once again, the Jedi simply withstood it.


    At this time, a scream was heard....


    It wasn''t from me or the dual wielding Jedi, nor from Aridal, it was from the double-bladed Jedi.


    The dual wielding Jedi had a terrified face, this was the moment, I was waiting for.


    I leapt towards him and surprised him.


    He reacted just in time and I barely dodged the lightsaber to my neck, at that moment, I could feel the adrenaline pumping, I simply wasn''t close enough to death back then.


    The dual wielding Jedi ran towards the screaming double-bladed Jedi, but before he could, the double-bladed Jedi was dead....


    He then began to become strike more ruthlessly and using both lightsabers he easily broke the block of both Sith.


    Almost killing them, before Aridal once again shot lightning.


    The dual-wielding Jedi then leapt towards Aridal, in fear Aridal began to run.


    I was a bit afraid as well, but I felt a calling to protect Aridal, or perhaps it was the adrenaline.


    I screamed out, I ran as quick as I could, and then....


    I threw my lightsaber, it moved quickly, I wasn''t sure if it would reach in time, but I hoped it would.


    The dual-wielding Jedi struck down, Aridal, barely dodged, and just as the dual-wielding Jedi would strike again.


    His back was hit by my lightsaber....


    But it was as if time had frozen, the lightsaber on his back stayed there, for a moment, not longer, not less.


    During that interval, I could hear him mutter, "I have let, my rage control me.... Such a fate is only to be expected...."


    I felt as if it was only after he said those words, that time resumed, and the lightsaber went right through him.


    I then ran towards Aridal to make sure he was alright, not even knowing it, I caught the lightsaber as I was running to Aridal, seeing him, he was frightened but overall fine.


    I sighed relief, if he wasn''t fine, I wouldn''t be able to forgive myself...


    The two Sith simply watched and stayed without motion.


    Ignoring the body of the Jedi, I kept asking if Aridal was fine, after making sure he was.


    I looked at the body of the dual-wielding Jedi, hearing his final words, I could feel how angry he became when the other Jedi died, perhaps that was his Padawan, I wasn''t sure myself.


    Taking his two lightsabers, I didn''t take out the Kyber crystals, I wasn''t one to "bleed" them.


    The two Sith then came, they seemed to be only new Sith, likely recently came out of the Trials.


    They gave me the double-bladed lightsaber as well and asked, "My Lord, I am the Sith Warrior Belash, and this is Inquisitor Fer''an."


    I simply replied, "I am Inquisitor Shaange and this is Inquisitor Aridal".


    They looked at me with surprised looks, but they both nodded toeach other and we talked...


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick.


    "Master, you have summoned me?".


    Lord Prosel was kneeling, in front of him was, Darth Deragus.


    A member of the Dark Council, Darth Deragus was the Council Member of the Sphere, Defense of the Empire.


    Though he was to defend the Empire, more Sith by thousands had died to his hand than Jedi.


    "You''re Inquisitor, is quite interesting.... Apparently, he and his Apprentice, slew Jedi Knight Rasdah and his Padawan."


    Lord Prosel was surprised, then asking, "Jedi Knight Rasdah? I thought he went missing ten years ago?".


    Darth Deragus looked to his surprised Apprentice and replied. "No.... He didn''t, but he is dead now...."


    Lord Prosel then continued, "Master, how does Inquisitor Shaange, have an Apprentice?".


    Darth Deragus gave off a gentle laugh and spoke, "One can apprentice themselves to whoever they wish to...."


    Lord Prosel confused, as to how to reply, simply stayed kneeling.......

 Battlefield (II) Balmorra

    I buried the body of both the dual-wielding and double-bladed Jedi.


    I simply felt that was what I should do.


    They were Jedi, people that fought for the people, and Sith, well they were very different....


    The two other Sith had long since disappeared.


    After talking about what happened, they explained that the Republic attacked out of nowhere.


    The Jedi Knight was an infamous Jedi, he was known as Rasdah, the Mad.


    He wasn''t Mad for what he did, it was his fighting style.


    It was reminiscent of Form VII, a form of Lightsaber combat, Mace Windu and the Grand Inquisitor from that TV show both used it.


    Rasdah was known to break all blocks, once cornered by two Sith Lords that were Marauders, he used a single lightsaber on both hands to block, parry and kill them within moments.


    However, he wasn''t without weakness, he was full of anger and rage, but all of this was directed to the Sith.


    If not directed to the Sith, he might''ve been a Sith and a strong one at that.


    Another surprising thing was that he was apparently missing for ten years, but then he appeared today, I wasn''t sure if he was on the Balmorran Resistance Force or the Republic.


    Staying here, me and Aridal simply sat on the ground.


    In time, a few Imperial soldiers arrived, the two same Sith came and spoke to the Officers, the Officer then greeted me, but it was nothing more than praise.


    I would hear occasionally that the Balmorran Resistance Force was getting its resources out of nowhere.


    They were only rumours heard by the Imperial soldiers, as more time passed, camps were being built and scouting parties were sent.


    The scouting parties would return from time to time, I and Aridal would move on as the base was being pushed forward.


    Moving about twenty or so metres, a new base camp was being created.


    In front of was an Electric Center, I simply looked at it, Aridal was somewhat amazed, he was interesting at the lightning which could be seen vibrating at the top.


    This place was one of the many sources of electricity for the Balmorran Resistance Force.


    We would''ve taken it down, but it was heavily protected, made of Durasteel, but more importantly, protecting the Durasteel was a layer of electricity.


    I saw a hint of desire within Aridal''s eyes, but I told him, "Wait, we have to wait first."


    I saw a nearby pebble on the ground, picking it up, I use the Force to lift it up higher and higher, then throwing it up in the sky, there was nothing that happened.


    I then used a small sized rock, with the same actions, though with a slightly lower height, nothing happened.


    But, I was afraid that the Electric Center was hiding turrets, it was likely that they only locked onto heat signatures, robots, after all, didn''t have one.


    Well, some might, but likely not these ones.


    I saw a few Imperial soldiers coming close to the Electric Center, I didn''t warn them, as I wasn''t sure.


    Looking, I didn''t even notice the Imperial soldiers coming out of nowhere from behind.


    "My Lord, I have a live intercom with Lord Duav".


    I jumped up a bit, Aridal simply kept on looking forward.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    I then looked to the Imperial soldier and replied. "Very well, open the channel".


    The Imperial soldier had a holographic intercom the size of his hand, then pushing it on, a blue holograph was shown.


    The blue holograph was Lord Duav, looking at me, he spoke, "Inquisitor Shaange, your victory against Rasdah has been noticed and by order of Darth Verash, he has tasked you to take hold of the Electric Center and wait for further actions."


    Looking at him, he was likely only a messenger, so I replied, "Lord Duav, I, of course, expect some help".


    Lord Duav looked to me and replied, "Of course.... By order of Darth Verash, you are appointed the rank of General of the Balmorran Armed Forces".


    Though even Generals of the Army would have to respect me as Sith, it was only now as a General and Sith, that I could overrule their commands.


    I remember some figures in SWTOR such as Grand Moff Kilran whose reputation as the Butcher of Coruscant surpassed and brought greater terror than even the most terrifying Sith.


    Though Grand Moff Tarkin didn''t enjoy such a reputation, he was respected by both Vader and Palpatine.


    Though Moffs and Admirals had to give due respect, they would be able to order me, through the idea of the "Empire''s Best Interests".


    But, honestly, taking command of the Electric Center, I wasn''t sure if it would be hard or not.


    If it had turrets, I would definitely need to act myself, if not, then I could easily take it, without my action being needed.


    Looking at the surrounding Imperial soldiers, I yelled out, "All attention!".


    Well, I didn''t know what to say, but at least I got their attention.


    They all came running towards me.


    The first thing I said, was "Get three groups, one of the left side and on the right side, and have another one following me, of only the best."


    I just spoke some random stuff, at that point, one of the Officers look to me and asked, "My Lord, there are forty of us, and we have no Elite Troops, none of us here are specialized, we are only either Medical staffmen, Officers or plain soldiers."


    I looked at the Officer, it was unlikely he had seen the face of battle, as to show him it, I replied, "Then pick up a gun Officer, you and the rest of the Officers are following me!".


    He quivered, but he simply agreed, "Very well, my Lord...."


    There were about four Officers, it wasn''t the case of "too many chiefs, not enough Indians".


    But, sure enough, they didn''t like each other.


    They kept arguing, but I didn''t bother to listen to them.


    I decided to call the first Officer, Officer Number One, and this went on to Officer Number Four.


    Honestly, I couldn''t be bothered to remember their name, well they didn''t know mine either, it was either "My Lord" or "Inquisitor".


    Which didn''t sound too bad I guess.


    First thing''s first, I quickly leapt to right in front of the Electric Center and then ran backwards.


    Oh, Thank God.


    There was no heat-seeking turret.


    Even though I moved at quick speeds, a turret would probably come out, though not shoot, at about the same time.


    I was still afraid, but I looked to Aridal, then saying, "Aridal, fry that Center".


    He began to use lightning to it, in mere moments, the Electric Center lost its electricity.


    I didn''t think it would be that easy, but I simply moved on, and used my lightsaber, easily I sliced through the Durasteel wall and I created a door-sized hole.


    Strangely enough, entering it, there was nothing there.


    I looked around and saw that there was nothing there, but at that time Aridal screamed, "Master, leave!".


    The Officers moved back slightly, and I was frozen, at that time, I just moved back outside of the Electric Center and as I did I felt something, it was if there was a vibrating---


    KABOOM


    At that moment, I saw an explosion, seeing it, I put my hands which were encased with the Inquisitor Armour over my face.


    Additionally, I activated Tutaminis, without even knowing so, my feet were also a bit deep, but not to the point of stopping me from being blown away.


    Though the Tutaminis was activated, it didn''t really quite absorb the explosions, but thankfully, the explosions happened mainly within the Center.


    If it wasn''t for Aridal, I would''ve likely been injured severely, but he warned me and I just left the Electric Center, being about a few feet away.


    Though the explosion was great, the Durasteel Wall which I had yet to slice, actually protected me, and seeing my armour relatively fine, I wondered what in the world, it was made of.


    All the Imperial soldiers then came to what was happening and saw me, simply standing, in front of the now exploded Electric Center.


    Not surprisingly, the Durasteel Wall was still there, it was likely an implosion to kill whoever came in, I wondered if someone was doing it, or it was simply set by a timer.


    I simply stayed still and Aridal came running towards me.


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick.


    "Master, why did you set off the explosion already?".


    A young man, wearing clothes reminiscent to a Jedi, though at the same time, clearly not a Jedi''s was kneeling in front of a woman standing.


    The woman herself wore clothes that were reminiscent to Jedi, but there were differences, the first was the Jewellery and the frightening manner in which the clothes exhibited on both the young man and woman.


    Both of which, that went against Jedi Apparel.


    The woman was middle-aged and looking at her Apprentice, she replied, "That youngling that Inquisitor Shaange (Frederick/Protagonist) has with him, is quite strange.... He was able to tell of the bomb hiding under the Electric Center!".


    The young man asked, "Master, but how-".


    The woman replied with displeasure, "The Force, is strong with that boy....."

 Battlefield (III) Balmorra

    "Master, are you alright!".


    Aridal coming running towards me, his face with a bit of rage as he looked towards the Electric Center.


    I looked to him said, "Why are you so angry? I am alive and safe, am I not?".


    He smiled and his rage subsided, I truly didn''t want someone like him to go to the dark side.


    Though rage was easily created, it was with difficulty, erased.


    Of course, it was only a little bit of rage, but, if untempered, it would only grow.


    The officers moved back before me, and they were protected by the Durasteel Wall, which I wondered why someone would put explosions beneath it, but not strong enough to destroy its own walls.


    Perhaps, the Electric Center was already taken by the Republic and then they put the bombs and waited for Sith or the Balmorran Resistance Force?


    It was a guess, whether or not it was the truth, wasn''t to my knowledge.


    The Officers came to look at me, they then began to praise me and command the Imperial soldiers to enter the now destroyed Electric Center to look if there was anything there.


    I recalled Lord Duav, thus, I immediately looked for Officer Number One, the one that I asked to bring only the best troops, I asked him if he had the holographic projector.


    Apparently, Officer Number One''s name was Officer Garn, he showed me it, and I asked him to put up, Lord Duav.


    Within seconds, Lord Duav''s figure could be seen, looking at Officer Garn he asked, "Officer, why have you called me, I am currently busy!".


    Officer Garn was afraid and began to try and speak, "I, Lo-".


    Lord Duav looked unimpressed, I myself then entered, saying, "Lord Duav, I believe the Electric Center is without use at this point".


    Officer Garn turned the holographic projector around and Lord Duav saw me.


    Lord Duav asked, "Inquisitor Shaange, why would that me?".


    Officer Garn slowly turned the holographic projector towards the now virtually destroyed Electric Center.


    I then said, "I believe, the Republic before us, arrived at the Electric Center, controlled it and hid explosives under it, then left for one to stumble into the trap."


    Lord Duav looked towards me and asked, "However, you are relatively unharmed, did you enter last?".


    I replied, "I entered first, however, my Apprentice was able to sense the bomb under the Electric Center, I believe Jedi were waiting in a far away distance after which the Electric Center would be destroyed, they would strike...."


    Lord Duav looked down and thought to himself, I could hear him mutter, "An Electric Center.... No... it wouldn''t have been the Jedi, this is too strange!".


    I then asked, "Lord Duav, what shall I do next?".


    Looking confused, he then replied, "Hmmm, report to the Main Battlefield, find Lord Y''lern and tell him of such news, I would myself, but I fear the channel could be sliced if it''s to the Main Battlefield."


    I then called out for the entire group and said that we were all going to the Main Battlefield.


    The entire group was about forty people, this was actually the scouting party, though when I and Aridal first went to the Electric Center, there were only a few Imperial soldiers, but more came, but stopped at around forty.


    There was no injured, so we could depart immediately, following Officer Garn, it took about an hour or so, going through the harsh terrain and trying to avoid the Colicoids, we eventually ran into a Mutated Colicoid, but we easily killed it, as it seemed to be an outcast.


    In time, we made it to the Main Battlefield, an Area classified as a ten-kilometre area.


    The Main Base of the Balmorran Resistance Force was about four kilometres in size, it was oddly the shape of a square, and was said to have appeared out of nowhere.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!


    As for the other six kilometres, four was controlled by the Republic and two was controlled by the Empire.


    Balmorra was originally Empire Territory, though the Republic controlled more of the Main Battlefield than the Empire, the Empire was still in control of the vast majority of the outposts.


    The Empire controlled part of the Main Battlefield was full of Imperial soldiers, the front was virtually composed of Imperial soldiers and near the back were several dozen Officers and a few Sith.


    A familiar face could be seen there, it was Lord Sheratus!


    He glanced at me, but then looked away.


    As I walked, I saw a middle-aged man with a cybernetic right eye and cybernetic left arm.


    I wasn''t sure if he was Lord Y''lern, but I did hear someone call him that, so I went to ask him.


    "My Lord, are you Lord Y''lern?".


    He looked towards me, smiling and he asked, "Inquisitor Shaange, I have long since wished to meet you!".


    I wondered why he was so happy, but my question was answered the next thing he said.


    "I have heard of your feat of killing Rasdah, I have long since wished to see him dead, and I can only regret, that I myself couldn''t kill him"


    I was confused, but then he continued, "Don''t worry, I don''t wish you any ill-intent, Rasdah, was the one that tore of my right eye and my left arm".


    I was surprised that this Sith was different......


    Even in Sith, there were the lesser evils, the Inquisitors were seen as the both deceitful and manipulative, whereas the Warriors were seen as full of rage and anger.


    The former were those that lived in secret and acted in secrecy, the latter, however, were always outspoken and full of energy.


    If you angered them, then if you didn''t die by the Sith Warrior within a week, he or she, likely didn''t care.


    But, Inquisitor''s were known to carry on grudges for years, decades and even centuries after their death.


    As I thinking of all this, Lord Y''lern turned away, but I was still thinking.


    Aridal wondered what I was thinking about, but he didn''t do anything.


    I was disturbed by the sound of an explosion, I became focused on the present, but as I did, Lord Y''lern was talking to another Sith.


    I found it awkward to report to him, so I decided to wait, about an hour or two passed.


    I was so bored, I began talking to Aridal, we discussed Sith philosophies, and as we did, I kept denying him and telling him he was wrong when he kept talking about the Sith.


    We, of course, did this in an insolated zone.


    As we did, an Officer came and asked, "My Lords, Lord Y''lern has asked for both your presence".


    I went with Aridal to see Lord Y''lern, there, it wasn''t just mine and Aridal''s presence he asked for.


    I could see more Sith than I saw at the beginning, Lord Sheratus was adjacent towards me, but he wasn''t looking at me, he seemed too focused on what was happening.


    Lord Y''lern was in front of a large intercom, nobody dared to be around him, and as the intercom was on.


    A figure appeared, immediately, everyone except for Lord Y''lern kneeled, this obviously included me and Aridal kneeling.


    Lord Y''lern had his head down, then a voice could be heard, "Stand".


    I could feel the Force itself in that word, if this was a hologram, I wondered how much power of a single word spoken, could be face to face.


    Lord Y''lern then began to speak, "Darth Verash, now with Inquisitor Shaange, Aridal and Lord F''teran, we have fully amassed our forces...."


    I instantly remembered Lord Duav, and his Master being Darth Verash.


    The hologram was of a man wearing a great battle armour, it was fully black and there were horns in almost every section.


    This man seemed to be someone that desired war and only war, it was likely, the moment he heard about the Balmorran Resistance Force, he jumped up and got ready.


    Darth Verash replied, "Good.... When I descend, I myself will lead the charge and we shall retake Balmorra!".


    The surrounding Sith all raised their hands in cheer, with the inclusion of Darth Verash, how could they so easily lose the fight?


    Unless the Balmorran Resistance Force was hiding a secret weapon, that was somehow capable of pushing back a dozen or so Sith lead by Darth Verash, or that the Republic themselves had dozens of Jedi lead by a Jedi Master, then it would be impossible.


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "Master Rylar, you have asked for us to stop sending Aid to Balmorra, how could you as a Council Member, desire such an act!".


    Within the Temple of Tython, there was a room that not many could enter.


    Inside that room were Twelve Seats, seven of which, people were sitting on, three of which, holograms were presented on.


    One Seat was to the one currently standing in the middle and the other Seat, was vacant.....


    "Fellow Council Members, the death of Jedi Master H''asarl and Jedi Knight Rasdah and U''lan, has shown us, that the conquering of Balmorra, will be too hard!".


    A voice argued in dissent, "Conquer? Are we not liberating the citizens?".


    Master Rylar hearing the voice replied, "Master Q''yern, the Treaty of Coruscant still exists! We must keep a minimal force on Balmorra, the Empire is using far more resources than we are, as it is their own Planet.


    A voice agreed, "Master Rylar speaks the truth, if we use minimal forces, we can make it so that the Empire uses their maximum force to annihilate the Balmorran Resistance Force."


    Then another voice spoke, "Master Qu''aze! Though the Empire fights the Balmorran Resistance Force, how are we sure, the Balmorran Resistance Force isn''t just a front created by the Empire itself?".


    More and more arguing filled the room.


    Until a voice could be heard, that stopped everyone, "Master Rylar is correct, the Treaty of Coruscant still exists, a minimal force is necessary, we have already lost a Jedi Master and two Jedi Knights, whereas the Empire has lost several Sith Lords and many more Sith Inquisitors and their Warriors."


    As that voice was heard, nobody else dared to argue, and the Republic on that day sent only minimal aid and took on a much lesser presence, performing work in the shadows and additionally having little to no casualties.

 Battlefield (IV) Balmorra

    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "My Lord, the Empire has deployed Darth Verash, it is likely that he will be joined by other Sith and his own personal guard!".


    A young man was kneeling to a man, that man wore Jedi clothes and the aura of one.


    The man replied laughing, "Darth Verash will fall just as Jedi Master H''asarl did, Balmorra, is simply the beginning"


    BACK IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    I looked to the eager Sith, they had eyes full of willingness.


    Though the Balmorran Resistance Force had indeed pushed out both the Empire and Republic influence of half the planet, if their Main Base fell, their outposts would quickly do so.


    It was similar to how the Empire sacked Coruscant, though it was one of many of the Republic''s Planets, it was the most important, therefore, the Republic was forced to sign a disadvantageous Treaty.


    When the Empire did sign the Treaty, many Sith and Imperials from the bottom of the rung to the Dark Council and Moffs, became angered.


    Especially some Sith who saw the Treaty as a stop to their Conquest or battle they wished to fight.


    Darth Verash was likely someone that became full of rage when the Empire signed the Treaty, though the Treaty was fully advantageous to the Empire, he was probably someone that wanted to do nothing more than have war.


    He was reminiscent of Darth Angral, though Darth Angral wasn''t as combative as Darth Verash.


    There was also Darth Vengean openly criticizing those that signed the Treaty of Coruscant, seeing it as a weakness.


    In the time of the Old Republic, people like him were not rare, there were also some from the Republic that wished for war, but they much more rare and less outspoken.


    Dr Godera being one such example, leaving the Republic after the Treaty, and choosing to retire in secrecy.


    I looked to Aridal and likewise saw a desire.....


    He wanted to fight to try and test out his power, I myself, wanted no part.


    I would in time gain in strength, I needed Holocrons, of Jedi origin, not Sith origin, I feared that Sith Holocrons would corrupt my mind.


    If I believed myself to be incorruptible, I would''ve by then, become corrupted.


    Waiting for a bit, we looked up and we saw a small Starship.


    It was shot from an unknown source, though it was likely the Main Base.


    However, the small Starship was perfectly fine.


    Not even moving, I wondered what it was made of.


    About ten feet or so, it didn''t land, rather a man exited, it was Darth Verash!


    As lethal as a Lord might be, a Darth is Death Incarnate. (Darth Baras Quote, I think)


    His sudden presence shook the ground, I felt as if I was the Imperial Agent meeting Darth Jadus for the first time.


    Following him, about four other figures came down.


    They didn''t seem to be humans, they were either cyborgs or completely robots.


    Apparently, they were his personal guards, that he used to kill even Jedi Masters.


    Then the Starship soared to the skies and disappeared from my sight.


    Darth Verash surveyed everyone, he smiled and yelled out, "Sith, Imperials, today we will retake Balmorra!".


    The soldiers seeing him, some rejoiced, some despaired.


    Darth Verash was a victor of many battles, but the majority of victories were Pyrrhic Victories, if not for his Apprentice, he might''ve gone to his end already.


    "All follow me!".


    Suddenly, all the Imperial soldiers made a way for Darth Verash to move, following, where his four personal guards.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Then the rest of the Sith followed, I and Aridal were, of course, no exception.


    Following near the end of the line, the soldiers all looked in reverence, we were, after all, leading the charge.


    Darth Verash had an inspiring presence, any soldiers that weren''t sitting down, began to get up and be ready.


    Eventually, about ten or so metres away from the Main Base, Darth Verash screamed out, "LAY DOWN THE SILENCER".


    Suddenly, a missile could be seen from the sky falling down to the Main Base.


    As it reached the ground, a large explosion happened, this was different to the Silencers of my old world, this one actually worked by electricity.


    I didn''t understand it, nor was there anything like it.


    Even within SWTOR, it didn''t work this way.


    Suddenly all the Main Bases electricity was gone, then Darth Verash began to run, all the Sith followed, which again, I and Aridal had to.


    The Imperial soldiers seeing this, felt their confidence as Soldiers rise, their main fear was the droids and turrets powered by the electricity.


    They were likely off now, but, as Darth Verash used his lightsaber to slice through the wall surrounding him, we came to see hundreds of droids looking at us.


    They began to shoot, but they could only at Darth Verash, but his armour completely protected him.


    He hit the ground with his fist and suddenly the ground shook and the Force could be felt pushing every away.


    The droids fell and Darth Verash and his personal guards went on.


    The other Sith then began to quickly create other holes, within moments, they followed.


    Aridal and I both stayed together and, I would watch out for his back, Aridal would constantly chain lightning, easily destroying the droids.


    Some Sith were even brave enough to deflect the blaster bolts coming towards them, one of them with a double-bladed lightsaber was arrogant enough to deflect all the blaster bolts, deciding not to do anything else.


    After quite some time, most of the droids had died, it was a complete domination.


    Imperial soldiers then began to enter, however as they did, one of the Sith actually fell to the ground...


    Blood was gushing out of his neck, but he was still alive.


    He was actually shot by a sniper!


    Though he was, the Sith was still alive due to his endurance.


    A female Sith seeing it, hissed and looked up, Darth Verash, however, didn''t care, he simply pushed on, tearing more and more walls.


    The same process repeated, from time to time, the Sith would attempt to have been sniped, however, most attempts would fail.


    Except for Darth Verash and his personal guards, all the Sith were preoccupied with defending themselves first, then destroying the droids.


    I myself had near close encounters, but Aridal told me everytime a blaster bolt was coming closer.


    It was likely that the Sniper was quite a long way.


    Battle after battle, there were only droids, and even I was becoming tired, Aridal, seemed to be out of juice and unable to use Force Lightning.


    Darth Verash himself became tired, but this wasn''t the tiredness of fighting, it was that he had yet to see blood!


    He wanted the feeling of killing a living being, if he felt pain, he would only grow stronger and stronger.


    He clapped and using his physical might and the Force, it created a shockwave that destroyed all the droids.


    He was angry, there was nobody he could fight!


    We kept doing this for an entire kilometre and we didn''t stop in the slightest, in fact, due to Darth Verash''s anger, we only moved faster, there were also more sniper shots, but these were far weaker, though more numerous.


    After we passed the kilometre mark, there were no more droids, we simply walked through, at this point, Darth Verash simply punched the walls and went through.


    Well, he wore armour full of spikes, so it was quite easy for him.


    Eventually, I don''t know how long after we walked, a group of people appeared, they had lightsabers, but they weren''t Jedi.


    Darth Verash was excited, he immediately went to fight the group.


    However, the group was strange.


    As they fought us, they didn''t try to kill us, they simply tried to protect their own skin, as if they were distracting us.....


    Growing even angrier, Darth Verash tried to choke them both physically and using the Force, though everytime he did so, another would distract him.


    The Imperial soldiers didn''t dare to shoot, they feared that they might shoot one of us.


    After chasing them, Darth Verash demanded that the Imperial soldiers begin shooting, though there was Sith, Darth Verash simply restated himself.


    Immediately the group of people simply ran away, as they climbed the wall.


    Their climbing skills were simply incredible, as were their jumps, though not as much as Darth Thanaton''s levitation.


    Darth Verash then began to destroy the walls harder and harder, eventually as we did......


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "My Lord, the group has tried to distract Darth Verash as long as possible, he is about three kilometres away, but he will hit the Central Grounds within minutes...."


    This was the very same young man, to the man that wore Jedi Apparel and had the aura of one.


    "Good.... This will be a good experience....."


    BACK TO THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    As we kept on going, this went on for a few more minutes.


    Then we came across a strange wall, it seemed different, Darth Verash couldn''t break it with his hands, and could barely so with a lightsaber....


    As he did, and we entered, we found ourselves as if it was somewhere else entirely.


    There was a garden and everything seemed so.... serene.....


    As Darth Verash walked forward, we could hear a voice, as it spoke, it became louder and louder, or rather, closer and closer.


    A man wearing the apparel of a Jedi appeared.


    He certainly looked like a Jedi and he felt like one.


    Aridal seeing him, began to shake.


    Even falling down, I gently put him down, thankfully nobody noticed, or at least I think.


    The Jedi looked at us, smiling he laughed and introduced himself, "Hello, there! I don''t believe we have met! I am Vicarious, you must be the infamous Darth Verash!".


    Darth Verash ran towards him, stomping the ground to where he went, Vicarious simply stood still.


    He yawned and then......................................................


    So who is Vicarious?


    You''ll have to find out, next chapter, or will you?


    Also, Vitiate means: Spoil or impair the quality or efficiency of.


    Just put that definition, there for no reason whatsoever.

 Battlefield (V) Balmorra

    NOTE: Frederick (Shaange, didn''t hear Vicarious''s name, he doesn''t remember, until later in this chapter)


    What''s your name? I didn''t hear...


    As Darth Verash ran towards the Jedi, the latter only yawned.


    "Ahhh, a brute...."


    The Jedi stayed his ground, and as Darth Verash put out his dual lightsabers while running and then leapt.


    The Jedi looked up........


    The next second, Darth Verash was still in the air, the Jedi...


    Actually caught the dual lightsabers with his hands!


    This wasalmost the Pinnacle of Tutaminis.


    If one was this skilled in Tutaminis, a lightsaber was virtually only a wooden stick to the recipient.


    Was this the male version of Satele Shan?


    He then let go of the lightsabers, but Darth Verash remained in the air.


    He was actually being Force gripped, the moment it happened.


    The personal guards were already running, however, the group once more appeared and began to fight them.


    There was even a Jedi that wore jewellery and her padawan that came.


    They probably weren''t Jedi...


    Jedi, were much more, restrained and controlled.


    Well, I''ll just call the Jedi that is beating Darth Verash, the crazy Jedi, looks, it''s not that he was crazy, it''s a compliment to his crazy strength!


    I''ll just call the Jedi with jewellery, the jewellery Jedi and the jewellery padawan.


    Hey! What else, am I meant to call them?


    The crazy Jedi was actually crushing Darth Verash using the Force, but Darth Verash became even angrier, but the crazy Jedi simply laughed and squeezed even harder.


    Just imagine, you''re wearing a suit of armour, and all of a sudden, it begins to squeeze on you and eventually kill you.


    That was what was happening to Darth Verash!


    He moved more and more, but it did nothing....


    Within seconds, I could feel his Presence disappearing.


    The more powerful one was with the Force, the greater their Presence.


    If I died, who would even notice, well, Aridal probably would.


    But, Darth Verash''s death would have a great effect, it would be felt across the entire galaxy!


    I could tell now, he was dead, his Presence was virtually gone.


    All the other Sith felt it, we all shook, Aridal, however for some reason, didn''t.


    The crazy Jedi looked towards us, I immediately looked to Aridal and said, "RUN, RUN!".


    Immediately, Lord Sheratus screamed, "All retreat!".If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Everyone began to retreat, the personal guards, however, didn''t.


    They kept on fighting, but in due time, they were destroyed.


    As I and Aridal were running, the Jedi with jewellery appeared.


    She tried to divide us both, but I quickly grabbed Aridal and ran.


    Immediately, a Starship could be seen, it was of Imperial design.


    The Imperial soldiers and Sith began to then enter it.


    I guess this was Plan B.


    I wonder which smart, however coward, Sith thought of such an idea.


    If they told this to Darth Verash, then that Sith, might''ve been choked to death.


    However, the Jedi with jewellery kept on trying to split me from Aridal.


    Screw this, I grabbed Aridal, and I threw him.


    Honestly, it didn''t take him that far.


    About a metre or two....


    But, I yelled out, "RUN, just go!".


    Aridal then hearing me, ran, but kept on looking back.


    I then screamed out again, "JUST GO!".


    And like hell, did he jump high, I thought he was levitating for a second, and he quickly entered the Starship.


    The Jedi with jewellery then decided to not even follow, she simply moved back and watched.


    I decided to run myself, and surprisingly, nobody even tried to stop me....


    The Jedi watched, but surprisingly they didn''t interfere.


    The crazy Jedi looked towards the Starship and OMG.


    He tried to pull it, using the Force!


    The Starship shook, however, it escaped the grip, but as it did, I swear, I saw a smirk on the crazy Jedi.


    All the Sith went to the main terminal, but only, Lord Sheratus use the intercom, he knelt and spoke to a hologram of three figures.


    Overhearing, I was quite a distance away.


    "My Lords, Darth Verash..... Has been killed!".


    Two of the Sith were surprised, however, the Third Sith simply stayed expressionless and joked, "Darth Verash, would''ve killed himself anyway, if not for his Apprentice, Duav, he would''ve died by now."


    The Third Sith, then continued, "It is a good idea, that my Apprentice Prosel, decided to bring his own Capital Ship, in an emergency situation"


    The Third Sith was Lord Prosel''s Master?


    The First Sith agreed and said, "Hmmm, thankfully we didn''t tell Darth Verash, otherwise he would''ve gone mad."


    The Second Sith then said, "As members of the Dark Council, we have to act immediately.... Sheratus, contact all the other Sith and have them arrive at Dromund Kaas and meet us Three at Lord Prosel''s Residence!".


    Lord Sheratus replied, "Yes, My Lords".


    I guess, that our next stop is to Dromund Kaas.


    They will either do, one of two things to us.


    Kill us to silence us, or they would portray the Empire as victims, and use us as propaganda material.


    I hoped it was the latter, I then heard the sound of a hologram going off.


    Lord Sheratus then walked away.


    Also, apparently that crazy Jedi''s name was Vicarious......


    It sounds familiar.... As if I have heard it before, not from the Star Wars Galaxy, but my old life...


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    "My Lord, why did you let them go?".


    Vicarious was being confronted by the Jedi with jewellery, he then sighed and replied, "A feeling..... I felt something when I looked into the eyes of--".


    "What did you feel?". The Jedi with jewellery asked, Vicarious then replied seeming to be in his own World, "Something..... Different......


    "Different?". The Jedi with jewellery was confused, but she didn''t ask again...


    She looked towards the group and asked, "Shall we tell Him?". (Bolded and capitalized on purpose.)


    The group was silent and began to talk among themselves.....


    ONCE AGAIN, NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    At Korriban, there was a room of Twelve Seats, similar to how the Temple of Tython had their Jedi Council.


    However, this room seemed much more strict, there were four people there in person, three as holograms, and one standing.


    The one standing as Lord Prosel''s Master, Darth Deragus.


    He spoke to the Council, "Fellow Members of the Council, with the death of Darth Verash, we are left with an empty space.....


    I suggest that my Apprentice, Lord Prosel be elevated to be a Darth!".


    A voice spoke in dissent, "Darth Deragus, I believe, Lord Duav will be a better substitute!".


    As soon as that voice spoke, an argument happened among the eight..........


    BACK IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    About a day passed, and I realized how weak I was.


    I mean the SWTOR Characters became stronger by just levelling up.


    I had two choices, Holocrons or intense physical training.


    Well, I was virtually at the peak of physical training, I could learn lightsaber forms, but I needed Holocrons...


    Not Sith Holocrons, but Jedi Holocrons!


    Honestly, I had a plan, I probably won''t survive as a Sith, so, I wanted to kill Lord Zavan, then defect to be a Jedi....


    Deceit, manipulation, vendetta, all common within Sith, but virtually non-existent in Jedi....


    Also, I was currently with the other Sith and Aridal, appearing in front of us were the two Sith and Lord Prosel''s Master, by their conversation, each of them was a Dark Council Member....


    They began to question us and speak to us, not in secrecy, but as a group.....

 Ship (I) [Tatooine)

    The two Sith and Lord Prosel''s Master began to talk to us, then began to ask us what happened.


    Most of the Sith said that we were tricked by Darth Verash and that we were tricked by him to go with him on a death mission.


    Why did they say that, because one of the two Sith, showed expressed his displeasure of Darth Verash, saying, "Darth Verash was a fool, but how did he die?".


    I decided to say something else, "My Lords, Darth Verash came to us, to lead a glorious assault against the Balmorran Resistance Force, however, I believe that the Republic has attempted to violate the Treaty of Coruscant!".


    The two Sith laughed, however, Lord Prosel''s Master''s eyes widened and asked, "How so?".


    I began to say, "I believe, the Jedi secretlywas or already annihilated the Balmorran Resistance Force!".


    Everyone had their eyes on me, I was simply saying, what might''ve been true, but probably wasn''t.


    "They already hid bombs under the Electric Center, but they made it so that the blast would be contained by the Durasteel Walls so that the maximum power of the bombs was shown.


    Additionally, they either killed the Balmorran Resistance Force or was the Resistance Force, though some evidence shows otherwise, it is likely that such evidence, isn''t up to Imperial standards!".


    I took in a deep breath of air and continued quickly, "The Republic likely didn''t expect that Lord Prosel''s very own Capital Ship was prepared to save the Sith, from the scheming Jedi!


    Lord Prosel''s Master gave a little laugh and said, "A very good hypothesis.... I will immediately, assign you a ship, Inquisitor, you and Aridal, in the future, will, without a doubt, be an important asset to the Empire!".


    Well, I gave them enough information to make some propaganda with, Lord Prosel''s Master then continued, "All, but Aridal and Shaange leave!".


    The two Sith were confused, however, Lord Prosel''s Master spoke, "Gentlemen, that includes you two."


    They themselves then left, Lord Prosel''s Master then looked towards me and asked, "Shaange, I have a feeling, you know that is not the truth?".


    I replied, "My Lord, I indeed know,"


    He then said, "I have laid the plan for the Ascendancy of Prosel, as long as all goes well, he will become a Darth to fill up Darth Verash''s empty position, however, Lord Duav is being a minor inconvenience....


    I require you and Aridal, to go to Tatooine, there you will meet my follower, Lord Saza, she will brief you on how to destroy, Lord Duav''s power base.


    By destroying his power base on Tatooine, Lord Duav will have lost most of his support, and become unqualified for the position of Darth!".


    I wondered what the power base exactly was, but I heard that Tatooine was once a pure place, where Jedi went, this could be advantageous to me.


    I looked to Lord Prosel''s Master and asked, "My Lord, do you have any Holocrons? Of the Jedi Kind?".


    Lord Prosel''s Master looked to me in a strange look, but replied happily, "If you asked for the Sith kind, I would have to disappoint you, however since you asked of the Jedi, you can have this one, it is the Holocron of the Jedi Master, Ha''ya Dav, an enemy, I almost lost to...."


    He tossed me a Holocron and I put it in my Inquisitor wear, I wonder who could make Lord Prosel''s Master, almost lose.


    He then looked towards Aridal and asked, "Aridal, you yourself, have done a meticulous task, what is it that you wish for?".


    He was silent, and he didn''t say anything.


    Lord Prosel''s Master then seeing Aridal was being silent, decided to continue, "Regardless, Shaange, I have assigned Lieutenant Tarvis to help you and Aridal, and I have myself, made you an General, even if Lord Duav tries to take away your position, he won''t be able to."


    General? Lord Duav also made me a General, though very rare would dare to challenge his decision, if a Dark Council Member made a decision, there likely wouldn''t be a single person daring to challenge their decision.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    Also, while I was on the ship to Dromund Kaas, I found out that, that some ranks work differently.


    There were no Oversectors, but rather Grand Moffs was a special position made based on the Emperor''s decision, this was similar to Palpatine''s decision, but their powers were different....


    Also, the Minister of War was the Head ofEmpire''s Military, he wasn''t necessarily a Sith, but he controlled virtually all of the Empire''s Military and was only answerable to the Three Dark Council Members of the Spheres of Defense of the Empire, Sphere of Military Offense and Military Strategy, which I found out, were actually Lord Prosel''s Master and the two Sith.


    Lord Prosel''s Master, turns out to be Darth Deragus and the Dark Council Member of Defense of the Empire.


    I wondered if he was so powerful, why would he need me? Perhaps Darth Verash had some powerful allies?


    Regardless, some merits were assigned to my citizen profile and before I even left Dromund Kaas or found my new ship that Darth Deragus got for me.


    I saw on the news...


    My God....


    The Propaganda.....


    The Sith Empire, under the brave and mighty Darth Verash, lead a group of heroic Sith and a courageous legion of soldiers, against the tyranny of the Balmorran Resistance Force, that was secretly funded by the Republic!


    The brave and mighty Darth Verash met his end under the evil Jedi, and he will be given a Planetary Funeral, where no wedding, celebrations are to take place. With him, several Sith also lost their end, as well as courageous soldiers, their families shall be compensated and asked to attend the Funeral......


    Though did this happened, I was still able to leave on the ship, it was a large ship.


    It looked similar to the Fury-class Imperial Interceptor, but its centre, was strangely bigger, making it''s height/depth about thirty-five metres. A width of ninety or so metres and a length, just above a hundred.


    Entering it, there was a robot, it was a 2V-R8, it looked to me and Aridal and spoke, "Hello Masters, I am......"


    It was the basic robot, that came with most Imperial ships, so I didn''t really care, I just put it on and left it at the ship''s centre.


    I told Aridal to get ready to travel to Korriban and I opened up the Holocron to see an old man....


    "The Third Lightsaber Form is called Soresu, the Way of the Mynock, or the Resilience Form, I Ha''ya Dav, mastered this Form, and I became Invincible...."


    Wait, then how did you die?


    He continued, "The Sith will never learn such a technique they consider weak or defensive, thus, I know you must be not one of them, all Sith have pride, and they will not learn my techniques, but you can!".


    He began movements and I began to copy them, though most Sith already knew how to block Blaster bolts, Soresu, was different...


    It was simple, yet precise....


    However, the sixteen-year-old me, got so tired, so easily....


    Within just an hour of practice, I couldn''t move, I then went to the pilot''s area and saw Aridal just dawdling around.


    I then asked, "Are we there yet?".


    He looked to me and replied, "Master, all we have to do is enter hyperspace and we''ll be there within moments, I was waiting for you to stop practising".


    Oh......


    "Well, then let''s go".


    I took a seat, as did Aridal and within moments, using the hyperdrive, we made it to Korriban.


    The transport ship, I took to Korriban the first time, must not have had a Hyperdrive, but regardless, we made it to Korriban and I called down, "This is Inquisitor Shaange, dropping down."


    Immediately I heard on the comm radio, "Alright, My Lord, you are safe to land".


    Landing, I left the ship and told Aridal to stay.


    As soon as I did, I saw Lieutenant Tarvis, "My Lord, Lord Prosel, told me of your arrival, I have been told that I will be accompanying you".


    I thought I would have to find him, but fortunately, I didn''t, so we immediately went back inside, to Aridal''s surprise, that I came back so quickly.


    2V-R8 also came to greet Lieutenant Tarvis, but instead of immediately going to Tatooine.


    I decided to go to the Imperial Fleet, it was similar to the Balmorra Space Station, but this was much bigger.


    I changed my apparel once more, this time, I wore a sort of neutral look.


    It was similar to what Darth Mortis had,a dark singlet with parts of it adorned with metal and patterns, and with impressive shoulder guards, however, mine had much smaller shoulder guards and lacked any patterns at all.


    I wasn''t sure what it was, but it obviously wasn''t Durasteel, it was likely steel.


    Also, the bottom was simply a dark robe, there was nothing impressive there, simply a dark robe.


    I attracted the looks of Sith, but it was a simple glance.


    The reason I chose to wear this, was simple.


    It was neutrality, I didn''t look like Sith or Jedi, I didn''t add patterns, as I decided, that if worse comes to worse.


    I can pretend that I''m a Jedi, the armour would give me a good sense of neutrality, there were no patterns which abided by the rules of Vanity and there was no impressive shoulder guard, it was simple and even in a sense humble, if the small shoulder guard wasn''t there.


    Also, despite it being part steel, It flipping weighed about half as much as the Inquisitor clothes....


    These clothes likely weren''t as durable.


    But, they made me unique, as well....I was ninety-nine percent sure, nobody else wore armour like this.


    Aridal chose to keep the skintight wear and Lieutenant Tarvis actually sent a message to his parents....


    Apparently, Lieutenant Tarvis''s Academic prowess allowed for him to become a Lieutenant quite quickly at the age of twenty and allowed for his parents to retire....


    Well, he was now twenty-two, and he looked that age.


    I looked to Tatooine and then to my Holocron, I wasn''t sure about the future, but hopefully, nothing like what happened on Balmorra happens...........

    (III) The Hutt Cartel, second to only the Empire, Republic and Alliance, possessing the greatest web of connections and influence, though a much smaller musterable force. Possessing a likewise neutral stance to both the Republic and Empire, though lean to the latter, much heavier than the former.


    (IV) The Mandalorians hold a formidable position under Mand''alor the Emancipator, ruling from Mandalore or its Dreadnaughtthe Spirited Redeemer.


    Additionally possessing a large and professional army of battle born warriors with influence and power far outstretching its clone wars version, seen not as a mere vassal of the Empire, but rather an ally.


    (IV) The Force Attuned Planet of Voss, arguably the most powerful planet outside of the Republic and Empire.


    (V) The Exchange (Republic Side) and Czerka. All Core Worlds, as they possess a specific resource which makes them extremely powerful in their own right.


    Additionally Worlds such as Bakura, Manaan, Saleucami, as well as Houses Organa, Thul and Ulgo of Aldeeran.


    (VI) Shadow Syndicate and weaker planets such as Onderon. Additionally, the weaker Noble Houses of Aldeeran.

 Ship (II) Tatooine

    "Aridal, set course for Tatooine, immediately!".


    Everyone took a seat and the ship began going lightspeed to Tatooine.


    Well, 2V-R8 didn''t take a seat, hyperspace was quite beautiful, it wasn''t that we were going extremely quick, we seemed to be doing a normal speed, just through another medium.


    Within a few moments, we were there.


    Damn, that was quick.....


    It felt a bit unrealistic, but that was simply how it worked.


    I look to Tarvis and asked, "Lieutenant, how long until we are needed to meet Lord Saza?".


    Tarvis looked to me and replied, "My Lord, on the data-pad, it says that we need to meet her within tomorrow, shall we dock or stay here?".


    I looked to the Holocron and decided, "Stay here, we can wait for a day."


    I went to the Captain''s Quarter and opened the Holocron, the same old man continued.


    "To......"


    I copied the movements, simple yet precise, but at the same time hard to copy.


    If I could see someone in real life doing so, perhaps I would be able to copy it better.


    Training more and more, I copied and copied, but until I tried it out in real combat, it wouldn''t be anything.


    Looking at the Imperial news, there were enlistments for the Imperial Navy and the alike.


    It said, "The Empire is currently enlisting Brave Soldiers against the Balmorran Resistance Force....."


    Well, conscription was quite rare within the Sith Empire.


    There was enough propaganda and brainwashing for everyone, that people simply enlisted, believing it to be the right thing.


    Tarvis was one such, at the youngest age one could enter the Imperial Academy, he joined and aced his tests.


    If he wasn''t unfairly suppressed by a General, he might''ve been a Captain by now.


    Talking about Generals, a fair bit of them were Sith, some were cases of nepotism, and others were an example of true skill.


    Take for an example, a Darth wouldn''t give the Lord title and rank to a normal Sith if they didn''t fit the criteria, as the title of Sith Lord held great prestige and pride.


    Instead, they would give a General rank, even if that Sith didn''t fit the criteria, as who was going to stop the Darth? The General rank had little prestige in the eyes of Sith, after all.


    Taking some time, I researched the history of Tarvis''s background.


    Hey! I just wanted to know and make sure, whoever was following me, was clean.


    Born on Dromund Kaas to a family with no background, rose quickly due to his incredible diligence and skill, scored one hundred percent on all his tests, contributor to the battle of.....


    He apparently commandeered a Starship, but it was much smaller than this one, and also had much more people....


    Then, he messed with a Captain, he defied the orders to retreat, but rather kept on going and won a strategic victory.


    But, because he defied an order, it was put off as mutiny and the Captain suppressed the news of the victory.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    If the news of the victory was never suppressed, then perhaps, Tarvis would''ve been a Captain by now.


    Regardless, Tarvis didn''t care that much and kept on trying his best.


    He was similar to Malavai Quinn, but Tarvis was far more lax and uncaring of being suppressed.


    More and more training, eventually I just got bored.


    It was about near night, but in space, you couldn''t really tell.


    I decided, "Aridal, immediately enter Tatooine".


    He put his hand ups in cheer and immediately pressed it, we were quite close to Tatooine, just outside its atmosphere.


    In response a sound could be heard, "Please report your name and status for landing".


    I replied, "Inquisitor Shaange, going down now."


    The sound replied, "You are safe to land, My Lord".


    The Starship came slowly landing down, as it did, I could see the sandy deserts.


    Oh yeah, thankfully this ship had autopilot.


    However, Aridal really wanted to pilot the ship down.


    Doing so, it was incredibly shaky as he went down....


    As if the ship was being bombarded, I felt the slight urge to vomit.


    As it finally reached the bottom, Tarvis looked to me and said, "My Lord, I think it is better, that I myself pilot the ship."


    ..............


    Alright, it seems that Aridal will never pilot again.


    As we exited the ship, we left 2V-R8 to guard the ship, well, it was unlikely that anyone would even do anything to it.


    Tarvis followed me and Aridal walked beside in the station.


    We easily went through customs, it was just a robot that scanned you. I stood still, as did Tarvis, but Aridal kept moving around.


    Exiting the Station, we could see only sand and more sand....


    As far as the eye could see, there was sand.


    There was a path, however, it was barely seeable.


    A nearby Imperial soldier came to me and said, "My Lord, there is currently a sandstorm, you will have to wait an hour..."


    I lamented, if a sandstorm happened, I didn''t dare to move.


    Staying still, I simply waited.


    I looked to Tarvis and asked, "Lieutenant, what do you know about Lord Saza?".


    He replied to me in great detail, "My Lord, she was......."


    I listened to him for a good twenty minutes, I didn''t even know you could remember all that information.


    Well, from the beginning, she came from an Imperial Family with a history of Sith.


    It was about every second or third generation that someone was born with Force Sensitivity, she had no siblings, she didn''t kill them, she was just born a single child.


    However, she did have several Force-Sensitive cousins, one Force-Sensitive cousin of hers was Lord Vas''er.


    About the rest of her cousins were only Sith Inquisitors and Warriors, nobodies within the Sith structure.


    However, none of her cousins had ever failed the Sith Trials, it was always a success.


    Anything else about her was quite boring, she "pacified" a group within Tatooine and did a bunch of other stuff.


    One notable thing, however, was her victory against Jedi Knight, Rave''st, which was the reason for her being a Sith Lord.


    There was also some other stuff about killing a Bandit Head and weeding out some hiding Republic within the Imperial Area.


    Also, Tatooine, unlike Balmorra is an unaffiliated Planet.


    Belonging to not the Empire or the Republic, there was no Central Government, though some outposts were controlled by either the Republic or Empire.


    None of which, dared to claim the desert planet for themselves.


    There were some rumours that the Empire might take over Tatooine, but I found them very unlikely,


    There was a small, but significant community of criminals anddangerous wildlife. The only ones that did still live here were those like Jawas, sand people, moisture farmers or traders.


    The Empire would lose more than gain more, especially with the problem of Balmorra.


    After the sandstorm dispersed, we began to walk towards Lord Saza''s building.


    It stood out, it was a large dark stronghold, contrasting all the shabby buildings and stores around it.


    There were also Imperial soldiers just outside it, they seemed to of been of a slightly higher class, as they looked to carry better weapons and have yellow stripes, on their normally simply black uniform.


    As we tried to enter, one of the Imperial soldiersstopped us and said, "Halt, My Lord, we need to know your name."


    I looked at him and replied, "Shaange, now let me through".


    As if the Imperial soldiershook, he replied, "I''m sorry, My Lord, Lady Saza hasn''t been expecting any visitors by that name".


    I replied, "Let me through".


    I wondered if Lord Saza was playing on me, but I was told to visit her.


    They replied, "We are sorry, My Lord, Lady Saza has asked us to not let anyone in, unless she knows them".


    I simply moved gave them a "slight" push and opened the door quickly,as I did, my vision moved to a woman, I believed to be Lord Sava and......


    I put my hands over the eyes of Aridal and I simply stared......


    Well, Romance is a genre and the Sexual Content Warning is there, so here you go.


    (It''ll be light and loosely explained, but if you''re younger than thirteen, then, goodbye )


    Just kidding.... (I''ll let you interpret if it applies to the former or latter)

 Saza (I) Tatooine

    Opening the door, I saw a woman.


    Long flowing hair, and dark red eyes.


    I''m not one to speak compliments, as I was never one to know how to.


    But, I suppose her bust and curves, were as if, a sculptor made aclay statue.


    And someone breathed life into that clay statue.


    She was currently torturing a Republic Officer, I could tell by the clothes.


    Her methods of torture were quite.....


    Unorthodox........


    There was a strange machine, the Republic Officer was restrained to, it vibrated a lot as if the entire room was moving. There was also lightning that kept moving also through the different areas of the Republic Officer''s body.


    Additionally, I could see foam, coming out of his mouth and nose......


    It was a disgusting scene, but nowhere as terrible, as the recently deceased bodies of Korriban.


    Both I and Tarvis stood still, I closed the eyes of Aridal.


    The scene being disgusting was one such reason, but it was only the secondary reason.


    The first reason was the choice of clothing that Lord Saza wore.....


    It was very, alluring.


    To weaker men, it would be akin to sharks going for blood, without even knowing, they themselves would be devoured.


    I myself had a hard time controlling myself, but then remembering a certain scene, from my old life, gave me back my will.


    Aridal tried to shake off my hands, and he a saw glimpse, he smiled and blushed, I wasn''t sure if it was because, he awakened a tendency, or was that he found out something, he didn''t know before.


    Though Aridal was seventeen, he lacked many things.


    He was tortured by Inquisitor Vern, that relegated and degraded his mind, or suppressed it from growing, additionally, his link as a Child of the Emperor repressed even more of his memories and mind.


    Though he was capable of uttering words of a plea, it was more of an intelligence of a child, not yet grown.


    It was akin, to a young child, seeing something he shouldn''t have.


    Lord Saza then looked towards us, she didn''t blush or anything.


    She simply looked at us, without any care.


    She smiled and immediately threw her lightsaber, I pushed both Aridal and Tarvis out of the way.


    "Aridal, if it comes to you, dodge it".


    Aridal could dodge by it himself, as he could sense it by the Force, but Tarvis, may not be so lucky.


    Lord Saza, just so happened, to be aiming for Tarvis, thus I grabbed him and Ithrew him "gently".


    She had a strange expression, Lord Saza simply looked to me and spoke to me, in a strange voice, "Hmm, you''ve disturbed my meditation, but by the armour you''re wearing, you must be Inquisitor Shaange?".This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Meditation? Can you really consider that meditation, but moving on.


    I suppose, my fashion sense was well known, for her to know who I am.


    I was listed third on the Balmorra Contribution List, first was Darth Verash, the second was Lord Y''lern, third was me, fourth was Lord Sheratus and fifth was Lord Duav.


    This was done to promote rivalry, though there were no rewards, it also promoted morale, if an Imperial soldier saw one of the Sith on the contribution list, they would ready to fight.


    What was that saying?


    "I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion." (Alexander the Great Quote)


    In my past life, there was such a quote, but I can''t remember who exactly said it.


    I replied to the strangely dressed, Lord Saza, "Darth Deragus sent me, he reported, there was a way to destroy, Lord Duav''s power base on this planet?".


    Hearing that, Lord Saza had her eyes widened, she then replied, "Ah, so my Father sent you.... Well, Lord Duav does have a sizable power base on Tatooine, but his true power base lies on Dromund Kaas, which Lord Prosel, is likely aiming to destroy".


    Father? I suppose your his daughter then, but I saw no resemblance, even if one was degraded by the dark side, there should''ve been an inkling of resemblance.


    Both I and my Sister looked like our Grandfather, the resemblance was actually more akin to a child and their parent, but Lord Saza had no resemblance to Darth Deragus.


    I''d say, Lord Prosel has more resemblance to Darth Deragus.....


    Secret child? Or Secret Affair, but going onto the actual question.


    I asked, "Lord Saza, what is Lord Duav''s main power base on Tatooine?".


    She came closer and looked into my eyes, her forehead almost touched mine, she breathed and meanwhile, Aridal was turning red, he was experiencing something, he had yet to.


    I myself felt being lured, so I quickly asked again, "Lord Saza, I will have to ask my question again, what is the main power base of Lord Duav here!".


    She frowned as if she lost a chance and she replied, "No fun.... But, at least you''re not like that fool, Lord Ger''sh."


    An unfamiliar name, but it was likely someone that went on the bad side of Lord Saza, I chose not to ask about him and asked, "Lord Saza, Darth Deragus himself, asked me to destroy his power base!".


    I spoke like thunder, as loud as I could, she moved back and then replied, "Alright.....So tense, allow for me to help..."


    Well, at least, she wasn''t someone that was bent on killing me, but this time, I spoke calmly, "Lord Saza, for Lord Prosel''s Ascendancy to plan out correctly, we must destroy the power base of Tatooine here."


    She replied, "We? I can assure you Shaange, this job is yours alone, Lord Prosel''s Ascendancy will work on either way".


    With her mention of Lord Prosel, it was as if she sighed and was in love of Lord Prosel.


    Though marriage between Sith, were in most cases, political and to gain power, some would truly be for love, but that would be for those people that had still not been fully corrupted by the Dark Side or had gone so far, the Dark Side lost its effect.


    I then asked, "Lord Prosel, will definitely remember any contributions you make...."


    Hearing of Lord Prosel, she was slightly intrigued, she replied, "Nonsense, Lord Duav''s power base here on Tatooine, has little to no effect anyway".


    Seeing, how she didn''t want to help, I wondered, did Darth Deragus lie to me, or was Lord Saza ignorant or not wanting to help?


    I then decided to add something, "Lord Saza, the truth is....."


    Hearing this, she asked, "What truth!?".


    I decided to make something up.


    "The truth is this, Lord Duav has more of a power base than you can imagine...."


    Lord Saza gave off a little laugh and asked, "What do you mean? All he has here is a few outposts, they occasionally fight with the Republic Encampments and Outposts."


    I replied, "In truth, the Empire believes that, but Lord Duav has long since conquered the Republic Encampments and Outposts!".


    Lord Saza was perplexed and replied, "That''s impossible, if that did so happen, then there would be news of such!".


    I looked at her sternly and ask, "My Lord, do you know of Darth Verash''s personal guards?".


    She replied, "Indeed, each as powerful as a Sith Lord, though they are only brutes, lead by an even bigger brute!".


    I took this chance and asked, "Do you believe, such a brute, could create such powerful robots?".


    She froze for a second and smiled and then said, "So you are saying that Lord Duav, has been hiding an army?".


    I replied, "Indeed, he was likely waiting for the perfect chance, and he would''ve killed Darth Verash himself, if not for his untimely death at Balmorra".


    Lord Saza then asked, "Such an army, is not easily hidden or known, how did you know?".


    I asked smiling, "My Lord, if Lord Duav, wasn''t himself supported by members of the Dark Council, how could he stand up to Lord Prosel?".

 Saza (II) Tatooine

    Lord Saza looked to me with interest and asked, "If I do say help you, will you help me with gaining, perhaps, some of his robots?".


    I replied, "If it is possible, then I will, but I''d imagine, that some members of the Dark Council are likely secretly supporting Lord Duav in the shadows, afraid of angering Darth Deragus".


    She replied, "Indeed..... Very well, then..... Perhaps if we... No...."


    She was thinking, it was likely, that Darth Deragus didn''t tell her, perhaps she chose to ignore it, or perhaps this was a test for me?


    She looked to me and said, "Meet me in a week, I will begin to create a plan."


    Meet in a week? Well, realistically, it would take a week to make a plan.


    But in SWTOR, a plan could be thought of in five seconds, but here, I guess this is, however, reality.


    Aridal the whole time, was blushing and staring, I grabbed his hand and pulled him out.


    As for Tarvis, he was a bit shaken, but that was more likely due to fear, then anything else.


    Leaving, there was a certain place, I wanted to go, but I couldn''t go right now.


    It wasn''t dark, but it wasn''t the very morning.


    Somewhere, that I wanted to go, it had to be, by myself.


    It was the Oasis of the Jundland Wastes, I needed to test my spirit and realize, what my goals really were.


    I suppose my current goals were to survive and kill Lord Zavan, I guess I had also, minor goals, but they weren''t really to think about.


    I suppose I would simply visit around Tatooine, there wasn''t that much else to do.


    On such a desert World, what else was there to do?


    Only people that had nowhere to go, would come to such a place.


    Sightseeing, there wasn''t much to do.


    I, Aridal and Tarvis had nothing to do, but surprisingly, an Imperial Soldier came to me and said, "My Lords, Moff Yeron, requests your presence."


    I replied, "Very well, where is Moff Yeron?".


    The Soldier replied, "Please follow me".


    Us three followed the Soldier, it was back to the station, but it was somewhere, we had yet to be.


    Just outside of a room, we could hear shouting, it was a loud voice, and it seemed to be threatening someone, "I don''t care, if you''re short on men, just do it!".


    There was also a replying voice, "But..... The Exchange...."


    The loud voice replied, "Go hire some Mandalorians or something!".


    The reply voice, "But, sir.... We lack-"(Funds)


    The loud voice then shouted, "Then Colonel, why don''t you, GET OUT".


    Leaving the room was a Colonel, he wore an armour that had witnessed many scars and battles, he himself was limping, his left leg didn''t seem to be in the best position.


    I entered the room, and I saw a man dressed in an Imperial Officer''s uniform, though obviously far more decorated than Tarvis.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    This was Moff Yeron, seeing me he smiled, and said, "Ah, Sith, glad to see you here, Lord Saza is currently busy and the only other Sith on this Planet, are you and Inquisitor Aridal, and the Apprentice of Lord Uscad who is currently wasting his time at the Cantina".


    He looked to me with a smile, but I wasn''t sure, if it was a real smile, or that there were daggers behind it.


    I replied, "It seems, that you are having some trouble with the exchange."


    He gave off a little laugh and said, "My Lord, you are right, the Exchange is pestering us far too much, though this isn''t their biggest base of operations, it is one of their most secure."


    The Exchange, they were a criminal organization that rivalled the Hutt Cartel, existing for three hundred years, they met their end only due to the help of the Empire that grew angered by the Exchange''s actions and the Hutt Cartel, ceasing tolerating it.


    Of course, the Exchange also grew weakened by that point due to relentless attacks from the Hutt Cartel, but right now,they should have quite the amount of strength.


    Remembering the Mandalorians I asked, "Surely, the Mandalorians can help you? They should be more than capable of doing so."


    The Mandalorians were mercenaries, lead by a Central Figure, known as Mandalore.


    Right now, they were on mainly the side of the Empire, but it wouldn''t be rare for some of them to be on the side of the Republic.


    Also possessing a form of honour, many Mandalorians weren''t exactly friends with the Empire, despite being mainly on the side of the Empire, they showed great distaste and often mocked the Empire.


    Moff Yeron frowned and sighed a bit, "My Lord, the Mandalorians are indeed capable, however, ever since..... A certain incident involving the Planetary Governor, well, no, I can get him myself...."


    "Governor, please reveal yourself!".


    At that moment, I could hear someone stumble inside as if they were trying to eavesdrop and realized that someone knew of their presence, they accidentally came in.


    It was a fairly young man, though he looked older than the three of us, he looked far more nervous and shaken, he then asked, "Good Morning, My Lords, I hope you are enjoying your stay at Tatooine, I hope that at this humble-"


    Moff Yeron then looked to me and spoke, "Whilst this Planet has yet to be under Imperial control, he is in control of this planet''s Imperial presence only due to the virtue of him being the nephew of the Minister of War".


    Moff Yeron as a Moff in charge of a Sector obviously had far greater power, and the Minister of War was likely using Moff Yeron to allow for nephew to grow and to become a proper Governor.


    I then asked, "Well, Governor, why aren''t the Mandalorians helping the Empire on Tatooine?".


    The Governor froze and replied, "My Lord, there was a certain amount of credits needed to be sent to the Mandalorians for a deal, however I-"


    Moff Yeron broke him off and said, "He didn''t send the credits, and he tried to scare them off, if not for my relationship with them, perhaps our Planetary Governor, would''ve had his head chopped off by now".


    I then replied, "Then simply send the credits".


    Moff Yeron then replied, "I wish we could, but our Planetary Governor here, spent all of his credits on certain activities..... And here I am, on this desert Planet, I can barely afford my own Capital Ship to be running."


    Well, the Empire on Tatooine was poor.....


    Moff Yeron continued, "That is why we need you Sith, though the Mandalorians treasure credits, they admire and respect the strong even more so if you were too.... Perhaps say, show the Mandalorians, the testament of your strength, they might forget such a debt we owe them".


    I looked to Moff Yeron and said, "What about the Exchange?".


    Moff Yeron replied, "As long as we get Mandalorian presence, the Exchange will simply run, they understand that against the Mandalorians, that they as a group of criminals uncoordinated and without a leader, will simply collapse".


    I then asked, "How would I show the Mandalorians a testament of my strength?".


    He thought for a second and replied, "I would recommend challenging their Leader, or several of their Commanders, use my name and your identity as Sith, they will certainly notice you, far more."


    I replied, "Very well then, I will do as you have asked".


    As I left, I could hear Moff Yeron scolding the young Planetary Governor, "Stop creating troubles for us, if not for the Sith, the Mandalorians might be against us, and we would really be in trouble!".


    I opened up a map at a nearby machine, I lamented, there were no speeders or quick transports.


    No small transport ships, that would take someone hundreds of metres within thirty seconds or so, and do so for free....


    First thing on the map I could see where several Mandalorian outposts were, the majority of them were on the Empire''s Side if not, they were simply Warlords that held parts of the land and were unopposed.


    However a fair bit of those Warlords was also hired by the Empire time to time, thus, it could be thought that the Empire''s main force was the Mandalorians then, themselves.


    I could clearly see a much bigger outpost of the Mandalorians, it was where their Leader lived, I decided to go there, going through the scorching desert.....

 Mandalorians (I) Tatooine

    In time, we eventually made it.


    It was the largest outpost, one could see several Mandalorians surrounding it.


    Looking at us with strange looks, it was clear we weren''t welcome here.


    Surprisingly, nobody dared to stop us, they simply moved out of the way.


    I couldn''t see the expression on their faces, as the vast majority of them, wore helmets and looked exactly like each other.


    The ones that didn''t wear helmets, most of them looked human and others were alien.


    I think I saw a Zabrak or Zeltron?


    It was hard to tell from a distance, they were humanoid after all, I, however, did see a Twilek, that whilst humanoid, still bore noticeable differences.


    As I entered the camp of their Leader, I saw a middle-aged man, he was quite bulky and wore heavy armour.


    There were a fair amount of scars on both his face and armour, with a growing beard and rough look, he looked like a seasoned war veteran.


    He looked to me, as if expecting me and asked, "Ah, Sith, are you here to finally pay for the incident?".


    I decided to reply, "No, rather, I challenge you on the basis of honour".


    I decided to do so, as I knew that I would likely have the advantage, I was much younger and had the Force on my side.


    The surrounding Mandalorians all shook, the Leader looked to me with a strange look and replied laughing, "This old bag of bones, isn''t your match...."


    There was a moment of silence before he began to speak once more, though in a deeper and regretful tone, "However, recently, one of our have gone rogue..."


    "Rogue?". Mandalorian lived as a culture, like the Empire and the Republic, as long as their idea existed, they would live on forever, even the Hutt Cartel couldn''t boast of living as a culture, they were, after all, only had Hutts as their leaders.


    The Leader replied, "One of our finest, a Commander, hearing of our response to simply stop giving you soldiers, rather than declare war, decided that we weren''t real Mandalorians".


    He took a deep breath and continued, "Thus, he got his squad and several dozens that believed in his ideas."


    I asked, "Can''t you yourself deal with a renegade Commander?".


    He sighed and replied, "Those several dozens were an entire third of our forces, about sixty or so men. We''re left with about just over a hundred."


    I was worried, I probably couldn''t take on sixty Mandalorians, but another question lingered. "What about the other Mandalorian Commanders? Surely there are more than two hundred Mandalorians on Tatooine!?".


    The Leader looked to me and said, "Of course, but, their Leaders are of the same rank as me, only Mandalore can command them or myself".


    "But, Mandalorians will still fight together, if the renegade Commander is able to get enough support, even if I don''t help him, I won''t be able to help you".


    I decided to then ask, "Then, what do we do?".


    He replied, "We have to strike quickly if you manage to sneak inside his base and strike him down, his movement will have gained little to no power, and we can use the excuse of him defecting, as a justifiable reason to do so."


    I asked, "How will I do so exactly?".


    The Leader then laughed and said, "Sith, that is your own problem, not mine".


    I realized, what he said was true.....


    I then decided to leave, and as I left with my back towards the Leader, he spoke, "The renegade''s Commander''s name is Ryke Jon, he''s a good kid, just disillusioned, spare him if you can."This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    I took a deep breath and continued, as soon as we got outside of the area, Tarvis spoke to me, "My Lord, I have a plan!".


    I was surprised, but I asked, "Lieutenant, explain your plan".


    He spoke to me eagerly, "I suggest challenging Commander Ryke to an honourable duel, do so under the Empire, and he will have to accept".


    A good idea, though the middle-aged Leader might be able to dodge it as there was no enmity.


    If it was with Commander Ryke, he would have to accept it, otherwise, it would be a show of weakness in front of his followers.


    Walking on, we saw some sand people, but when they saw us, they immediately ran.


    Jawas were also common, they travelled, near, but not close to us, as did some Imperial transports.


    Eventually, we made it to a small base, there were plenty of Mandalorians there, it was a small base and it didn''t seem to fit in everyone.


    There, I shouted out, "Commander Ryke! I come to you on behalf of the Empire!".


    A young man came out, he seemed to be only the age of Tarvis, maybe my age actually.


    His armour seemed new and just cleaned, I could see a fire in his eyes, at the same disgust towards me.


    He spoke in a mocking tone, "Sith.... The Empire says you are one to be feared by many".


    I replied, "The Empire, speaks the truth, the Sith embody the truth".


    He replied, "I am Commander Ryke, and I ask you Sith, are you like the Imperial dogs? Afraid and unwilling to fight against us?".


    I put my hands together and looked straight at him and said, "Commander Ryke, if you''re like that, then I challenge you to an honourable duel, if I win, the Empire will play tenfold, if I lose, you will join the Empire".


    Commander Ryke smiled and replied, "You will not fight me, but rather, a brother...."


    Suddenly appearing, there was a trandoshan taller than two metres and carrying a vibroblade, almost as large as himself.


    I asked mockingly, "Does the great Commander Ryke, fear the Sith? The crusaders of the Empire?".


    Commander Ryke didn''t speak, but rather the trandoshan did in his tongue, "Sith, I am an orphan due to your war the Republic, your people will pay for displacing me from my family!".


    Thankfully, I grew up, learning languages, though most species spoke Galactic Basic Standard, trandoshans spoke in their own tongue, as did wookies and some rodians.


    Aridal, however, seemed surprised and didn''t know what was happening, Tarvis however, seemed to understand it.


    He screamed and he ran towards me, I got out of my lightsaber and told Aridal and Tarvis, "move back".


    They did so, I got my lightsaber ready, I stood still, as he tried to slice me, it was as if time froze, I simply blocked his attack with my lightsaber.


    Because of that, his vibrobladesimply was sliced through.


    The trandoshan tried again and again to attack, but I simply used the lightsaber to block, until his vibroblade was only now a stick.


    He then tried to punch me, but I dodged and got beneath him, but, I put my lightsaber off.


    And I put it to his stomachand the trandoshan froze in fear.


    I took this chance and said loudly, "A single flick of my lightsaber switch, and you would die, but such a warrior like yourself, should be serving the Empire".


    I backed off and looked at Commander Ryke, then the trandoshan asked, "Sith, why did you give me mercy?".


    "Tell me, trandoshan, when was the last time you killed?".


    The trandoshan replied, "Last month, I slew a beast, a small size, unworthy, but the only one".


    I smiled inside and said, "Such a small beast is impossible to brag about, do you not wish to fight against many to earn on the behalf of the Scorekeeper?".


    The trandoshan asked, "Scorekeeper....Why does it sound so familiar....My family!"


    In trandoshan tongue, nobody else except for me, and I think Tarvis and Commander Ryke understood that.


    I looked to Commander Ryke and asked, "Will you join the Empire? Or perish, stuck on this desert planet, what can you do here Mandalorians?".


    Some of the Mandalorians cheered, and I continued, "What honour is there to be found here? Among the criminal and pirate scum, surely you are better than them!".


    More Mandalorians shouted and I said, "Are you simple mercenaries, or Mandalorians?".


    Everyone cheered and Commander Ryke looked to me and said, "Sith, you have proven your worth with your victory against my brother, and you have shown your honour with your speech, but I will not work under Imperial dogs, if it is in battle I go, a glorious and honourable one I will go in".


    The Mandalorians themselves cheered once more, and Commander Ryke seemed to be more mature, I then replied, "As it should be......"


    He then tossed to me a medallion while saying, "Sith, give this to War Leader Yonte, they and myself, will immediately depart to join the Empire!".


    I replied, "Moff Yeron, isn''t like those other Imperial dogs, he is no foolish Planterary Governor, on my name, Shaange, I can assure you, that it is better to die gloriously and honourably for the Empire than to simply stay on a desert planet".


    Then departing, I went to the Leader, who is actually War Leader Yonte, as I did, I came to him and said, "War Leader Yonte, I have returned and here."


    War Leader Yonte looked to me in surprise, but also worry as he asked, "Sith, I suppose, he didn''t agree."


    "No, rather, I have convinced him to join the Empire, staying on this desert planet doing nothing is a waste".


    War Leader Yonte smiled and looked to me saying, "Indeed it is, I wonder why you are here...."


    I didn''t say anything, as he himself said something, "Anyway, thank you Sith, Commander Ryke, will definitely serve the Empire well...."


    Looking at each other, for a few seconds, I simply left, and the day had almost passed.


    Tomorrow, I would go to the Jundland Wastes to the Oasis, by myself.


    But, first I would speak to Moff Yeron.

 Training (I) Tatooine

    After going back to Moff Yeron, and making assurance, that he would treat the Mandalorians properly, I felt content, I also made double assurance, that the Trandoshan, wouldn''t be treated discriminately.


    The Sith Empire had a xenophobic and specieism, point of view against anyone that wasn''t human.


    Of course, there were some exceptions, the Sith Pureblood in some cases had an equal, or sometimes even higher standing than humans, and humanoid species were treated better than ones such as the Talz, Wookies and Trandoshans.


    Some humanoid species were Zeltrons, Chiss, Zabrak, Mirialans, Umbarans, twileks even.


    Within the Empire, there were two groups, they could be described as the Conservative and traditional group of Humans, Sith Purebloods and Humanoid species, they were ones that went against the Empire accepting those other than their race.


    However, they were growing weak due to this, and if not for them having certain members of the Dark Council, the Empire wouldn''t be discriminating so much.


    The other group could be described as supporting the expansion of the Empire in any way, in SWTOR, Darth Malgus, was the foremost example, through this he gained supporters through a plethora of channels.


    The Empire would be a fool to not allow for alien species to join, this was one of their foremost weaknesses.


    They had the Mandalorians on their side and the majority of the Hutt Cartel. They weren''t as restricted in comparison to the Republic, they would torture and kill innocents, but the Republic would never do so.


    The Planets under them were far stronger, they were focused more on military and could be argued to have a much more strict discipline.


    Their allies were found everywhere, their presence in the Criminal Underworld could be described as dominating, whereas the Republic had a very small presence.


    The Sith of the Empire were in majority cases, those that survived the trials of Korriban. They would come out far stronger than any ordinary Padawan.


    After all, the Sith didn''t prohibit recreation, they encouraged it, many Sith had children, whereas Jedi only in very special cases would have children.


    Ki-Adi-Mundi was one such, having four wives and seven daughters, this was due to the dimorphism present between the sexes, where there would be twenty females to one male born.


    Though this was polygamy, it was the only way for the Cereans, to make sure, they wouldn''t die out.


    Revan and his Marriage to Bastila Shan was another example, they had children that survived to the next generations and this went on for a few hundred years.


    Both were powerful Jedi and among the strongest of their time period, and naturally, their descendants were likewise powerful, Satele Shan being the obvious example.


    However, why was the Empire always losing?


    In my opinion, it was because of basically other than Humans, Sith Purebloods and some Humanoid species, they would be going against everyone else.


    It was akin to a group of ten people, pissing off fifty, but those fifty wouldn''t be exactly united, so the group of ten, wouldn''t be exactly crushed by them, or be crushing them in any sense.


    But, anyway. That doesn''t matter.


    There were about six days more, seeing the Imperial soldiers, I could see them continuously moving, the only time they weren''t moving were meals, toilet time, or sleeping.


    I went back to the ship and thought what to do.


    Sith would normally meditate, perhaps train, fight someone, or commandeer ships.


    Honestly, it was virtually the same as Jedi.


    Some Sith would journey to war-torn Worlds to fight all they wished, some went to Aldeeran, though they would quickly find themselves bored by their only enemies being mainly killiks.


    And Tatooine?


    No....


    Nobody would go here, there was nothing to do, it was a Desert Planet full of nothing, but smugglers and criminals.


    It was about half past noon, and it was getting a bit dark.


    In the ship, Aridal was bored, Tarvis was simply reviewing some Documents.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    2V-R8 was simply offline, and I was in my quarters, practising Soresu.


    Eventually, I left the ship telling both Aridal and Tarvis, I would return, going to a training ground, I found myself a small room.


    At this time, I got out a shooting remote, and I put it on the easiest setting, was I going to put it on a hard setting?


    NO! I''d be screwed then....


    It then began to shoot at me, it would shoot about every ten or so seconds.


    The first shot, I deflected it, my adrenaline suddenly went up.


    It shot again, and I deflected it again.


    I got bored, and changed it to every five seconds or so.


    Again, again and again.


    To four seconds, again and again....


    Eventually, I saw it could go to three shots per second, this wasn''t the most advanced, but it was up there.


    I put it to one second a shot, I deflected it more and more, whilst I did deflect it, the deflected blast simply went anywhere it wanted.


    Eventually, I tried to make it precise, I could do so, but this was pretty much nothing to Jedi that could deflect an entire barrage, then I remembered how the Jedi were one shot killed by the Clone troopers of Order 66.


    To stop the Remote from firing, I simply said, "Stop".


    I put it on its max setting of three shots per second. Then, well, I was having some trouble then, honestly, at this time, I just decided to dodge most of it.


    With the Force, it was quite easy to dodge them, it felt that I knew where they would hit, not, it didn''t feel like that, it was like that!


    Taking about a second for the blast to come out, that meant that continuously, three shots would come out, there would never be less, and sometimes more than three at a single time within the training room.


    Dodging more and more of them, I felt excited, a form euphoria, I became a bit risky and even came extremely close to the blasts, but as I knew where they would land, I would still dodge them.


    I, of course, used my lightsaber, from time to time, to deflect it.


    Then I took out another Remote, sameRemote.


    I didn''t buy it, I simply took it off a shelf, the training hall Instructor simply gave me this room, as the Instructor wasn''t a Sith, he was nervous when seeing me, and directed me here, immediately.


    Putting them both on, I dodged and dodged,


    Eventually, I got quite arrogant.....


    And I put on three.....


    Trying my best, I dodged and dodged.


    But, I accidentally didn''t dodge one, but strangely, I wasn''t hit....


    I deflected it with my lightsaber, but the thing was, it was a subconscious act.


    As if my hand moved on its own.


    This happened more and more times, and I then decided to do something.


    I put off the Remotes and simply stayed still, and I took a deep breath and calmed my mind.


    I felt at peace, this was similar to what the Jedi did.


    Though Sith could become powerful by rage, they would lose themselves in rage and die due to it.


    The Jedi didn''t suffer the same, without emotion, but with compassion, their strength was limited, but their weaknesses were fewer.


    I wasn''t sure why, but I felt that I should close my eyes, I shouted, "Shoot!".


    The Remotes were turned on and began to shoot, staying still with my eyes closed, I sloppily moved my hand, and I could hear an explosion.


    I opened my eyes, and I saw the three Remotes exploded.


    At this time, I tried lifting up a hundred kilogram barbell.


    And......


    This what happened.


    It shook for a second, but nothing more than that.


    I tried to pick up a five-kilogram dumbbell and it was obviously far easier, but I felt as I could do more.


    I began to twist it, I don''t even know how, but I somehow made a knot, but I just as without knowing, undid the knot.


    Deciding to another risky thing, I decided to juggle my lightsaber, that was on....


    I had my eyes on it, the whole time, the laser part didn''t touch me, but the handle did so several times.


    I kept on doing it, and it was if there was a pattern, I did the same thing, and eventually, I caught it and threw it.


    I stood still as it went.....


    Just coming short of the wall, it came back, and I twisted my hand and caught it....


    Control.... Sense..... Alter.....


    I recognised the Force within myself, by which, I could control it, an example was mending my old baton.


    I sensed the Force outside myself, Darth Verash''s death was one such example, though it was the death of a powerful Force User and virtually felt by the entire Galaxy, only those with the ability of the Force could sense it.


    Then there was Alter, to modify and redistribute the Force and its energies.


    My Will was quite strong, therefore my Control and Sense were strong.


    My Will came from my past life, if a Jedi Padawan saw a Sith, with all their strength, they would attack them, with an Indefatigable Will.


    But, if they saw upon the slums of Coruscant, they would feel their Will shattered, by the Grand Capital of the Republic having such a grotesque sight.


    If a Sith Apprentice was betrayed by their Master, they could also feel their own Will shattered.


    Not all Sith wished to kill their Masters, some felt honoured to serve, some were children, others simply felt that they shouldn''t betray them, for the before reasons, or convening to do so.


    After all, this was before the Rule of Two, and before Darth Bane''s wish to strengthen the Sith.


    At Earth, there were terrifying things, that perhaps even the Star Wars Galaxy couldn''t match up to....


    Many books, movies, tv series and even the news provided fear. Darth Baras''s torture of the Republic Spy which literally broke the latter''s mind, can''t really be considered that terrifying, there were even scarier things in my past life.


    (Don''t forget, Past Life = Earth)


    Though I wasn''t eighteen, I did watch R-18 Films, and they were really scary, even more so than the bodies of Korriban, but of course, they weren''t real, unlike Korriban''s corpses.


    Unlike Jedi and Sith, I knew the distinction between the Lightside and the Darkside, but for Alter.....


    Though my Control and Sense were great, I didn''t have much of the Force to exactly modify or redistribute....


    Seeing the time, oh.....


    It''s about 3:00 AM.....


    I should go to sleep, I quickly left the Ship and I saw Aridal sleeping, Tarvis was simply still reviewing his Documents, he happily greeted me when seeing me.


    "My Lord, you are here, Lord Aridal already went to sleep..."


    I told him, I was going to sleep, and I did so, as I was, I looked back, and saw him reviewing his Documents.


    Sitting in bed, for about twelve minutes, I looked back and I saw him looking at the Documents.


    I wondered if Tarvis would ever go to sleep, but ignoring that, it was now 3:12 AM.


    Time to sleep.....


    Goodnight......


    (It''s 3:12 AM, when I wrote this, lol)

 Jundland Wastes (I) Tatooine

    Waking up, there were about six or so days left.


    Would it really take a week, or was Lord Saza simply using that as a front?


    I honestly, wouldn''t be surprised, if she was trying to take control of the robot army for herself, however, there was a single problem, it didn''t exist!


    Even if it did, if something such as that did exist, Lord Saza, no perhaps even Lord Prosel, would likely be unable to take control of the army.


    The four robot guards were incredibly powerful, I doubt, that I could defeat them, perhaps, a single one of them, but I doubt much more.


    Though I only saw them little in combat, I knew their true value, through the HoloNet, though it might have been exaggerated, it stated that the four personal guards had slain Jedi Masters before.....


    Of course, these were the four robots working together, these four being robots had virtually perfect synchronization, therefore the four of them working together was far greater than Jedi Knights and Sith Lords of the same ability.


    What if Lord Duav had an army of them?


    It was truly frightening....


    Additionally, today, it was currently 9:00 AM, thankfully the Galaxy used a twenty-four-hour system, so I didn''thave to remind myself, even if I did learn a new system, a past life, wasn''t easily forgotten.


    Aridal was still sleeping, Tarvis was also sleeping and 2V-R8 was currently online and watching guard.


    Well, 2V-R8 didn''t really need to be online, and I didn''t put him on, Tarvis did.


    As for why he did so, I didn''t know, and I didn''t care that much either.


    I began to leave and head to the Jundland Wastes, Oasis.


    I took only a single lightsaber and left, honestly, I wasn''t hungry.


    I didn''t have to go toilet either, it certainly felt strange.....


    But hey, I wasn''t complaining, it was much easier this way.


    With the Sun in the Sky, shining off me, as I went my way.


    I knew where to go, and I would go there now......


    (NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick)


    In another place within Tatooine, there was an unremarkable village and a cave near it.


    Within that cave, was an elderly figure, though any sort of beard and moustache were absent, one could see how age had taken its toll on the elder.


    He seemed to be decrepit, but full of wisdom.


    Outside the cave, was a young man, he wore a simple brown robe like clothing, he had a figure that showed he hadn''t experienced rough conditions.


    He looked nervous, and he was meditating outside, he was trying to lift up a few rocks, he could do so, but they would quickly fall down, after managing to do so.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    At this time, a loud shout could be heard, "Cousin! A Sith has entered the Wastelands! Please ask, the Master Jedi to help us!".


    Hearing this, the young man''s concentration broke and he smiled a bit, then began to slowly enter the Cave.


    The young man was a Padawan taken in by the elderly figure, the elderly figure was simply a travelling Jedi, born from Tatooine, he felt it was his duty to pay back to his homeworld.


    However, to his surprise, there was actually a Force-Sensitive within a random village, he came across.


    Additionally, the young man was too old to be a Padawan, he was currently sixteen or so, and he started his training last year.


    Normally, Padawans would be trained from childhood, very rarely, would they be trained from an age after.


    Thus, the elderly figure, not a Jedi Knight, but rather a Jedi Master, made the decision of personally training the young man, in time, he would go to Tython when the young man, was fit for the Jedi Trials.


    The elderly figure heard them of course, and he wondered to himself, "Impossible, if there was a Sith, I would''ve sensedtheir presence in the Force long ago....."


    This was true, but this was only because the Sith reeked of the Dark Side, their very presence was sickening and uncomfortable.


    Jedi, contrasted this, being around Jedi, made one feel safer and content.


    But, did Frederick have the reeking presence? Perhaps a tiny bit, but it was similar to that of a normal person''s, and not that of a Sith.


    BACK IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    As I began my walk, I eventually made it to the Jundland Wastes, I saw a few beasts, but they all avoided me, they would rarely attack first, they were the type of usually only attacking if people did so first.


    During my walk, I saw a glimpse of a person, but I wasn''t sure if I was just seeing things or not.


    Walking for about a few hours, I realized, I was lost.....


    The terrain was similar to the SWTOR terrain, but there were some minor differences, for one, there were a village and a cave nearby, I didn''t go there, as there was no reason for me too.


    Eventually, I made it to the Jundland Wastes, Oasis.


    I took a deep breath, closing my eyes and beginning to imagine.


    Taking some steps forward, I stopped just before the water, as if the Force told me to stop.


    Standing there, I then opened my eyes.


    Thereupon me, I saw two reflections.


    Both a Darkside and Lightside reflection, they both looked to me with interest, nothing, but wishing to take me to either side.


    I, however, had different thoughts, if not for these thoughts, I would''ve chosen the Lightside, but I had after all different thoughts.....


    NOT IN THE VIEWPOINT OF Frederick


    At Lord Saza''s Residence on Tatooine, different from where Lord Saza and Frederick met, it was decorated with strange artefacts and on the shelves were strange skulls.


    Lord Saza was currently in front of a Hologram interval and smiling, she looked up and said, "Father, Inquisitor Shaange has arrived, both of us are working together to destroy Lord Duav''s power base on Tatooine!".


    The Hologram interval showed a hologram, of obviously, Darth Deragus.


    Even as a hologram, he seemed to be full of power and made those around him feel uncomfortable, after all, a simple hologram, couldn''t contain the Force.


    Darth Deragus had an expressionless face and without a change of emotion, simply replied, "As you should".


    The words were empty and without meaning....


    The Hologram Interval then shut off, and as it did, Lord Saza froze, as if those words echoed, she grew angry and said to herself, "Father, just you wait.... With Duav''s robots, even you will have to acknowledge me!".


    Lord Saza wished for acknowledgement, the idea that she was indeed worthy, but her Father, had many times denied such a chance, or obstructed her, in favour of others.


    This wasn''t the first time she got angry, virtually everything, Darth Deragus said to her was, "As you should".


    Again and again.....


    Darth Deragus then looked behind him and said laughing, "Prosel, my Daughter is conspiring against me, she yearns for acknowledgement, she will never receive". But, the next few words, were disheartened, "However, how did she figure out about Duav''s Army?".


    Lord Prosel, replied proudly, "Master, regardless of anyone conspiring against you, they will all fall, just as Darth Tyu''n did so."


    Darth Tyu''n was the Dark Council Member before Darth Deragus, he was weak, but his knowledge and cunning in the Force was virtually unparalleled and matched only by the Ancient Sith Lords such as Darth Cerfas and Yertan Pivolt.


    However, Darth Deragus had slew Darth Tyu''n in cold blood, his very own Lightsaber was the executioner''s blade, and he himself was the Executioner, and the Judge, deeming Darth Tyu''n to weak.


    In a sense, being a Dark Council Member, was a blessing and a curse, countless would be after your head, from all sides, even the closest wouldn''t be trustworthy, but if one was such, the resources, would virtually be limitless.

 Jundland Wastes (II) Tatooine

    The Force, it is an omnipresent energy field that connects all living things in the Galaxy.


    Force could be thought of as Life, and vice-versa, and the Force was Eternal, therefore Life was Eternal.


    Of all living things was the Force, everything that lived had the Force, it wasn''t only Jedi, Sith, Voss or any other, every living thing in the Galaxy had it within them.


    Of course, there were varying sensitivities determined by one''s Midi-Chlorians, but all things that once lived were all touched by the Force.


    The Galaxy was bound by the Force, one would imagine, that if the Galaxy was to lose the Force, perhaps they would simply be similar to a Star Trek Society?


    That they would somehow adapt?


    No.... The Force was the pivotal part of the Galaxy, without it, the Galaxy would fall apart.


    The Force also existed outside of the Galaxy, once Emperor Valkorian when known as Vitiate, wished to outlast the Galaxy, and travel to others.


    However, he never accomplished such a goal, but, the idea of multiple Galaxies and to leave, were not empty theories, the Yuuzhan Vong, were such an example....


    And this Galaxy bounding power could be seen in four ways, the Lightside, the Darkside, the Greyside, and to see all Sides.


    The Lightside was the Jedi Order, they saw the Force as a part of the Galaxy, not to be abused, but used properly.


    The Darkside was the Sith, they abused the Force, and used it to their own agenda.


    The Greyside could be thought of as the Grey Jedi, and those such as the Voss, the former were inclined to the Jedi and followed similar teachings. The latter was like inclined to the Jedi, but they followed different patterns.


    Those within the Greyside knew that the Force shouldn''t be abused such as how it was by the Sith, but they followed a manner different to the Jedi.


    Then, there was one that could see both Light and the Dark, after all, the Force was more than just one of those, it was both of them.


    One that knew the difference between Light and Dark, held even greater power, that was how the Eternal Empire from the Old Republic, was so powerful.


    Looking to the two reflections, I had a plan, but first, a question I had to ask.


    Waiting, the Darkside reflection looked to me with happiness and pride, he lifted up a nearby boulder, then as it was in the air, it destroyed itself.


    The Lightside reflection did nothing, it simply looked at me.


    As nothing happened, suddenly a sand demon appeared, another illusion, as I was seeing.


    As it came close to me, and I could feel it''s intent to kill, the Lightside reflection put his right hand forward, and the sand demon lost its intent to kill, then falling asleep.


    I stood there without moving, the Darkside reflection then said, "Tell me, do you wish to achieve your full potential? Reign over the Sith as a Lord? Avenge your Master and kill Lord Zavan?".


    The Lightside reflection revealed a worried look hearing this and said, "You see us both, as you are conflicted, though your heart shows goodness, your actions have stated otherwise, but you stand on the side of the Light, do not let the Darkside take you!".


    Hearing, them both, I asked a question, "Tell me, do you know of a place known as Earth?".


    Suddenly, both of them froze, they were apart of me, everything I knew, they should know as well, the Darkside reflection confused asked, "Earth? What is that place! How do I not know of such a place?".


    The Lightside reflection wondering spoke, "I have never heard of such a place...."


    As I expected, they know only of my birth and after, my past life is unknown to them.


    I then began to speak more, "It is a place within another Galaxy....."


    More and more I spoke, the more and more they became confused, the Darkside reflection, couldn''t grasp what was happening, and the Lightside reflection, simply thought.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    At this time, I thought as hard as I could and use the Force, I held the Darkside reflection of me, and began to pull!


    The reflections were only apart of me, they were based on my strength, however, they were only part of me, in this life.


    Their lack of knowledge was my power, using it, the Darkside reflection revealed a sense of terror.


    It was confused at what I was doing, it was something he never would''ve expected.


    The reflection knew everything I knew, but I had a past life, it didn''t know how to react, and within seconds, it entered inside of me.


    I felt a surge of energy, this was the Force, but this wasn''t power.


    My eyes felt that they could see the Dark more clearly, not the darkness itself, but the Darkside of the Force.


    Seconds after, I felt a bit conflicted it seemed as if the Darkside was trying to fight back, but it was only now a vestige, and I turned my eyes to the Lightside reflection, looking at me in wonder.


    It showed no resistance, and it entered my body, as it did, I felt different....


    As if something that was missing, that entered my body, as if I was now whole.


    I tried lifting up a nearby boulder, but I couldn''t......


    Since I couldn''t do that, I wasn''t really thinking about the sand demon either.


    I tried to sense myself within the Force, as I did, I could feel my presence changed.


    As Sith emanate malevolence and bloodthirst, Jedi radiated Benevolence and Compassion, and those like Voss showed Balance.


    I was different, there was emotion, but still, peace, though in a way I was ignorant, I was still knowledgeable, even with my passion, there was serenity, though conflicts in my heart still existed, as did harmony between them.


    Not a Grey Jedi, or like Voss, simply, a person.


    Regardless, I decided to leave and go back, and as I did, I could hear rattling, as I left the way, I entered, it became louder.


    I saw a group of villagers holding weapons, immediately, I moved back, and decided to exit another way.


    I could sense fear within them, I wasn''t sure what it was about, perhaps me?


    Or the illusions?


    Regardless, I simply left through another way.


    I saw a connection of caves, I jumped up to it and began to walk.


    As I did, I saw an elderly man looking down as if he sensed me, he stopped and asked in a soft voice, "Traveller, whyhave you come to these desert lands? I sense your mind is at peace and you are a Kindred Spirit".


    In a way, I suppose, my mind was indeed at peace, it was full of compassion and mercy, ok, I guess I am exaggerating myself here.


    But, regardless, it wasn''t like those of Sith full of anger or hatred, as for Kindred Spirit, perhaps....."


    I replied, "I have journeyed here, to visit the Oasis and test my mind, and I have left, satisfied!".


    Trying to sound wise, that was my reply.


    He then asked, "Traveller, are you someone sent from the Council to retrieve me?".


    I stopped for a second, the Council either meant the Jedi or Dark Council.


    But looking at this elderly man and sensing him, he was obviously speaking of the Jedi Council, I replied, "No, I am not, nor am I a member of the Order."


    The elderly gave off a little smile, which I just managed to see, by the facial movements of his face.


    I wondered if he was indeed a Jedi if he was, wouldn''t he have asked me of the armour I was wearing?


    But, before I could think more, he replied, "Very good, good, good....."


    That was strange, but he then continued, "My friend, I have stayed here for many years, both Jedi and Sith have been none to find me, how have you found me so? Is it truly a coincidence, or has the Force set us up?".


    I spoke to myself in soliloquy and pretended to talk to myself, but I intended for him to hear it, "The Force acts, as it does".


    He took a deep breath and walked on and said, "My friend, be careful, I have been told by the villagers, that a Sith has wandered here, I hope your journey remains safe."


    Without even knowing it, I replied, "Likewise for yours".


    Sith?? That was probably me!


    As I walked past, I noticed something, there were wraps on his head that obstructed his eyes, I immediately thought of a species within the Star Wars Galaxy, they were the Miraluka!


    VIEWPOINT OF ELDERLY MAN (I''m trying to create a unique personality, so bear with me, he is currently very similar to Frederick, but, as it progresses, there will be visible changes, as I am also getting better)


    As I walked through the caves, I could sense no Sith, I felt that someone had experienced something at the Oasis, but I wasn''t sure what it was.


    A life liven, I vanquished many Sith and saved innocents, but here I am now, back home, where I wish to be.


    During my own youth, I experienced the Oasis, I defeated the Darkside of me and left for Coruscant.


    Though I was too old, like my current Padawan to become a Jedi, I overcame such challenges, I denied joining the Council as I found them, though not corrupted, and wishing the best, to different to my own ideas.


    Continuing to walk, I eventually came across a Kindred Spirit, though I was blind, I could see.


    My eyes saw not the mortal plane, but rather the on a higher plane, my people and I saw the Force.


    It was a radiating light, I felt compassion, mercy, but regret and passion.


    He wasn''t a blinding light like the Jedi, nor was he a darkness like Sith, when he spoke to me, I sensed the truth in his words.


    Not from the Council, nor from the Jedi Order, and he definitely wasn''t Sith, far too calm, there was little anger within him, there was controlled passion, and most of all, deep within him, I saw compassion and mercy.


    I saw regret, that he did something, he was atoning for, perhaps?


    Passion, was it to become stronger?


    He was all revealing.


    As if he didn''t fear to show me, what I wanted to see.


    I came to the assumptions that he was likely a Grey Jedi, but even I couldn''t see beyond what I saw.


    I first came to the thought that he was a child of the Emperor, but three years ago, the Children of the Emperor were all revealed, nobody knew how, but simply they were....


    As he said, that the Force acts as it does, I understood those words, and I said goodbye, but I felt, that though we met just then, that we would, perhaps meet again.....

 News (I) Tatooine

    With five days left, I wondered what there was left to do.


    After seeing that Miraluka, I felt I should be a bit more careful.


    If he could see my costume, he would ask if I was Sith, likely he would sense the deceit or truth within my words.


    Of course, if I was lucky, maybe I would still escape.


    Leaving, I didn''t return to the ship, I went to the training grounds, the same Instructor was there, and as I entered the same room, I could see a few Imperial recruits look at me with grumbling expressions, but most looked afraid.


    The Instructor immediately shouted out, "Alright, everyone leave, a Lord is here!".


    The Imperial recruits then began to walk away, it was likely that those with grumbling expressions knew this was going to happen, and those afraid, this was probably their first time.


    Seeing them, I showed an empty expression, I found no joy from this, if my training room was taken, not by a group, but by a single person, I too would be grumbling.


    They quickly left, and within moments, it was simply me and the training room, with the instructor quickly running away.


    I had to also, actually buy a new Remote, as my old ones were all destroyed, by, me....


    I bet you wouldn''t believe it, but I had a bank account....


    Of course, most things were free for me, as I was Sith, and Imperial Officers were known to receive "discounts".


    Only the normal Imperial Soldiers and civilians would be treated the full price.


    Within such a bank account was a few thousand credits, was that a lot?


    Honestly, I had no such idea.


    I remember watching the movies and Obi-Wan Kenobi offered 17,000 credits overall to Han Solo, for safe arrival to Aldeeran.


    There was another source, which stated that a few credits were enough for one to eat.


    But, regardless, virtually, a Lightsaber would be virtually impossible to buy, as, for metals such as Beskar, Phrik, Songsteel which could withstand blows from a Lightsaber, they were materials that couldn''t be bought.


    They could only be acquired through other means....


    I began to practice once more, as I did, I realized something.


    As if my mind was divided, not in personalities, but as if I could do two things at once, and concentrate.


    Part of my mind was bound on blocking the attacks, but another part was bound on dodging.


    Well, it was hard to describe.


    So I ran to my ship and got another Lightsaber, it was the Lightsaber of the Sith Warrior from before, that I saw with the female Sith Lord.


    I began to use them, and as I did, I felt that I could control both hands separately.


    Though it sounded like something anyone could do, it was far more complicated, imagine drawing a picture with your left hand, while you are writing with your right hand, and they both turn out to be meticulous works of art and literature.


    Perhaps with both hands, it could be done, but with only one hand to both things.


    Or if you heard two voices overlapping, and you could divide them and hear both of them perfectly, as if they were one?Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Ok, it wasn''t that good, but I could do two things at once.


    As I began to practice, my Soresu became different....


    It strayed more and more from the Path of the Holocron.


    My blocks were sloppy, and at the same time, when it seemed, I didn''t block, I did block.


    I simply continued doing this, for about five days, it became extremely boring, but was there anything else to do?


    The Imperial recruits would do the same thing every day, wake up at around dawn, train until about noon and then eat, then more training, eat..... Sleep and wake....


    At least, I had freedom.


    Tarvis played war simulations, he took them, in case that we would ever be ambushed.


    Also, doing some research, I found out some interesting things, the first Sith was indeed a fallen Jedi, but it wasn''t Ajunta Pall!


    There were some crazy people, I never knew of, but they filled in similar roles.


    The Treaty of Coruscant was there, but it was a bit different, under the bravery and leadership of the Jedi, with a familiar name, Ryan..... Also, Coruscant was not sacked, though it was still heavily struck by the Sith, it was done so severely, that whilst the Jedi consider it as an attack met with a draw, the Sith consider it their victory.


    Another thing was this, the Dark Council wasn''t established by the Emperor, it was apparently established even before him.


    It was confusing, however still similar to SWTOR, but who know''s, perhaps the Emperor actually did, and only used it as an excuse.


    Revan never existed, and the Mandalorian Wars had deeply struck the Republic, but at the last moment, the Jedi Council took action, and Mandalore the Ultimate was swiftly struck down by a Jedi Sage Master called simply John....


    At the same time, due to this, the Sith Empire was revealed and attacked the Republic. This lead to a stalemate until for an unknown reason, sleeper agents of the Empire placed in the Republic actually betrayed the Empire.


    More and more actions were taken place, but it seemed as if the Republic had someone new that protected them, from time to time, the great disasters were all averted, if not minimalized.


    However, something struck me, all these Jedi that averted the disasters, had names.... That sounded Earth-like!


    There was one Jedi named Alysha, she was a Jedi that became the Supreme Chancellor, and ushered in the Era of Prosperity, where she enacted several laws, which gave rights to all species, she even said famously, "I have a dream".


    It could have been coincidence, as there were people such as there was also Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi, Finn, and all those, but it felt too weird.


    Was I first one to be stuck into this Galaxy? Another thing was that these famous people, were all born, when incredible events occurred, in peaceful times, they were non-existent, some were born in the same Era though.


    But something other than all of them having Earth-like names was that.... They had disappeared out of nowhere, they didn''t die from age or battle, they suddenly disappeared!


    It just happened like that...


    Surely, I wasn''t the first one from Earth to come here?


    Would I also disappear? I honestly wonder, what would happen, but currently, I really shouldn''t be thinking of things such as those.


    How did I get all this information? The HoloNet, for Sith it wasn''t that restricted, though some parts were.


    I could actually see most of the information, this was due to the setting that Darth Deragus placed for me, I could see parts that even most Sith Lords wouldn''t be able to.


    Also, surprisingly was apparently, Darth Deragus had a role of being an "honourable gentleman", I wasn''t sure if he was using this to boost his reputation, or that he truly was, so I just decided to ignore it.


    Another thing I found was that Inquisitor Vern actually killed himself by driving his Starship into the ground of Dromund Kaas.....


    Obviously, there were bigger plans, and perhaps, Inquisitor Vern wasn''t dead, but simply hiding, well, I pretty much forgot about him, until about yesterday when I accidentally found an article about him.


    Today though, there was some giant news, Balmorra had been fully taken over by the Balmorran Resistance Force, yesterday, the Empire fully withdrew from the Planet, and the Republic had already done so.


    Similar movements happened in some planets as well, but they were crushed within a day, likely they were only on the adrenaline, that it was possible, without even thinking.


    The Balmorran Resistance Force also changed their name and called themselves the Balmorran Kingdom, and Vicarious was placed as the Crown Prince.


    As soon as they did this, the Balmorran Kingdom created a Treaty with the Empire, which was quickly accepted, when suddenly a fleet of ships appeared from nowhere on top of Balmorra.


    How did this all happen? This faction appeared out of literally nowhere? Was this like the Eternal Empire, maybe, but this felt different....


    Also, another thing was surprising, the Balmorran Kingdom outlawed slavery and had basic rights which were comparable to the Republic''s Draft, andeven had the rules of taking prisoners the same.


    Treating the prisoners as people, and not slaves, they even advocated a Prime Minister....


    Was this what was happening similar to the Jedi?


    Perhaps this Vicarious or someone he knew was from Earth?


    Ahhhh, my head hurts.....


    But anyway, I don''t even know, why I''m thinking of such complicated stuff.....


    Anyway, I began to walk to Lord Saza, I left Aridal and Tarvis at the Starship.....


    Seeing the guards, they immediately moved and I opened the door, seeing upon Lord Saza.


    She gave me a smile and showed a plan, it was a risky one, and it involved..........

 The Base (I) Tatooine

    It was a simple and delicate plan.


    Lord Duav had a base of operations, it was a small base, but it was heavily protected.


    Manning the helm, was Lord Duav''s second apprentice, the first was long since dead, and the second was a former Korriban Overseer.


    The second apprentice was known for his eccentric personality, he gave hope, only then to crush it.


    He let go of a Republic scouting party, only to let them return to their destroyed camp and slay them there.


    He hated those of the Republic, there was once a Republic General he found, rumours had it that, he tortured such General for days, weeks, months and even years, even when asking for death, the second apprentice wouldn''t give it.


    What I had to do, wasn''t to kill him, rather that was Lord Saza''s role.


    My job was simplicity itself, simply walk up and ask for an audience with the second apprentice.


    The Imperial soldiers would dare not to shoot me at first glance, as I spoke with the second apprentice, Lord Saza would lead her forces by the back and would begin to fight.


    Thankfully, Lord Saza also told me that the second apprentice, knew very little about what happened outside of Tatooine, as he was a sadist and kept himself inside his base due to that.


    Also, whilst he hated the Republic, he wasn''t as hostile to Imperials and Sith.


    This would take place today, it was around 1:00 PM.


    A bit sandy and somewhat dark, I told both Tarvis and Aridal to stay at the ship.


    Aridal wanted to go, and Tarvis stated that he would activate emergency protocols if I didn''t return by the end of tomorrow.


    As I began to walk, I once again saw a few beasts, but none of them came close to me.


    I saw some jawas, that avoided me.


    I saw a glimpse of the sand people, but they quickly disappeared from my sight.


    Eventually, I made it to the small base, though it was small, that was by the standards of the Star Wars Galaxy, on Earth, this could be considered a medium sized base.


    About the size of one kilometre squared, of course, there were smaller bases, but they weren''t on the scale of Sith.


    For Sith, the smallest base they would have would normally be this big.


    Would a Sith have a normal ship like everyone else? My ship wasn''t custom made or anything, but it was among the best Ships, and Sith would rarely civilian transport, in the vast majority of cases, they would use their own Gunships for travel, and some even used their own Capital Ships.


    Sith simply had the best of everything, it was just like that.


    As I was the at the base, in front of me was a gate, and for about a few seconds the Imperial soldiers didn''t notice me.


    When the Imperial soldiers saw me they froze and someone that appeared to be their Officer appeared shortly after.


    It was a young woman, surprisingly, she looked even younger than me, there was a mature look on her face, which tried to hide a scared expression.


    The gate to the base opened, at that point, the young officer came down looked to me and asked, "My Lord, our Lord is currently not seeing visitors....."


    She was quite nervous, but I didn''t care and I asked, "Regardless, tell him, that Inquisitor Shaange has come to pay a visit".Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    The young officer ran to tell the second apprentice and within moments, the second apprentice appeared, blond haired, with brown eyes, a demented look on his face.


    He looked to me and spoke lightly and somewhat strange, "My Master, Lord Duav has been awaiting you...."


    I was surprised and he made way for me to enter, I couldn''t sense Lord Duav at all, he was likely appearing as a hologram then.


    As I moved forward, into a room.


    I saw a hologram, it was of Lord Duav, he looked to me smiling.


    "Shaange, you know as I do, Lord Saza will betray you, though Prosel and Deragus might not, she definitely will."


    I wondered if she would, then suddenly the hologram disappeared, all Lord Duav had to do, was plant the seeds, he did so by supporting Prosel and Deragus, his enemies, which made it seem more truthful.


    Regardless, I ignored it, and I looked to the second apprentice who immediately asked, "What did Master tell you?".


    In his eyes were devotion, not the sort you would see during the rule of two, but rather, real devotion.


    Looking at him, I decided to not tell, "That is for me to know, not you".


    Realizing that Lord Saza had yet to arrive, I began to distract him.


    For about ten minutes, we spoke, nothing much, just about, how devoted this Apprentice was.


    He recited his life story, and how he owed everything to his Master and a certain hatred against a Senator named Armiday.


    Born as a republic orphan, on the fifth level of Coruscant, the lowest level which could be survived on, where all the rubbish from the upper levels would come down to.


    It was so terrible there, mutations were common, and surprisingly, this second apprentice of Lord Duav, who looked human, was actually a pure Zabrak, that had his horns degraded to mutations.


    Though life was terrible, it wasn''t unbearable for him, with his family, he lived in difficult, but still going by.


    One day, a Senator named Armiday appeared, he looked to the fifth level and was greatly disgusted, he wished to do what happened to levels one to four.


    As all the rubbish from the upper levels came down, the lower levels would suffer the worst amount.


    Armiday wanted to do what previous others had wished to do, it was to dump rubbish into the fifth level.


    He even proposed to the Senate that the Republic could become more economically secure by putting more rubbish to the lower levels.


    Of course, the proposition was declined, but Armiday did it in secret and even hired mercenaries to kill everyone at the fifth level.


    However, a Jedi caught news of such an act by the mercenaries and swiftly slew all of them, but didn''t know of Armiday.


    At the age of ten, the second apprentice was found by the same Jedi, and the family begged for the Jedi to take the second apprentice.


    Which the Jedi did do, however, as the Jedi returned, he was immediately admonished and arraigned by Armiday.


    Armiday easily managed to get the support of several Senators and managed to get the Jedi censured.


    The Council obviously seeing through such lies, "exiled" the Jedi and the young second apprentice, after that he simply said that Lord Duav saved him and ended it at that.


    It was quite a sad story, and while I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.


    I moved away from the second apprentice, suddenly, the door was completely blown away.


    And suddenly, there was blaster fire, the second apprentice easily blocked them and looked to me.


    I replied with an expression of being surprised and confused, him seeing me like this, seemed to have calmed him down a bit.


    The dead bodies of Imperial soldiers could be seen, then a figure could be seen walking over the bodies.


    This was Lord Saza, she looked to me with delight, and she showed disgust to the second apprentice, who in response, likewise showed disgust.


    Lord Saza smiling said loudly, "Shaange, why don''t you help me with this child?".


    For a moment, I didn''t know what to do, but I began to intercept the second apprentice, we both began to fight, however as we did, I created some hand signs, the second apprentice gave a wink, which thankfully Lord Saza didn''t notice.


    If it was just me and him fighting, I would simply be using Soresu to block his attacks, but Lord Saza joined in as well, I continuously got in her way in fighting.


    This made her quite anxious, but she didn''t voice out anything.


    Everything she would come close, I would appear in the way and sloppily attack the second apprentice.


    Why did I do this, I wasn''t sure, but I felt that Lord Duav''s words were perhaps, a bit too true.


    Going for a bit of time, suddenly, strange robots entered, they immediately began to attack Lord Saza.


    Following this, Lord Saza easily destroyed them, and I pretended to be hurt by the second apprentice and incapacitated.


    More and more robots entered, but Lord Saza easily destroyed them, the second apprentice, however, wasn''t afraid of such a thing and all of a sudden, droids from all the entrances appeared.


    They all began to shoot Lord Saza, she blocked and dodged most of them, she was shot by some of them.


    But this only fueled her anger, she began to attack more and more viciously and within moments, all those robots were destroyed.


    She then looked to the second apprentice and walked towards him....


    I was simply waiting, if she did I thought she would do, then I would act, if not, then I would forget what Lord Duav said to me today.....

 The Base (II) Tatooine

    Third Person


    At the Capital of the Sith Empire, Dromund Kaas.


    Lord Duav could be seen within a large tower and in front of him, was a Lady, that was unmistakably aSith Lord.


    This was the largest tower, and residence of the Dark Councillor of Biotic Science, Darth Alogio.


    She became the Dark Council Member by not killing her Master, but by being the only survivor of a battle.


    This battle was known as the Massacre of Dantooine, this was the name created by the Empire, in the Republic, it had another name, the Victory of Dantooine.


    Darth Alogio, her Master, fellowApprentices and several squadrons of Imperial soldiers came up and battled against a Jedi known as Jasaus and his padawan, Malryan.


    The Republic version was far more accurate, as except for Darth Alogio''s Master, a few of her fellow Apprentices and less than a dozen died, including Imperial soldiers.


    Jasaus easily slew Darth Alogio''s Master and defeated all his Apprentices, except for Darth Alogio who proved herself in some ways, even greater than her Master, which made Jasaus''s padawan unable to defeat her, as well as allowing for her to escape.


    Leaving Dantooine, immediately as she arrived on Korriban to address the Dark Council of the news, she demanded that the Treaty of Coruscant be immediately rescinded.


    However, her pleas fell on deaf ears, but the Dark Council realizing that she was the last survivor, and knowing that the next Sith in line, other than her, were only Lords with shallow foundations, elevated her to the Dark Council.


    Despite this, her pleas were nevertheless, treated the same.


    But, she vowed vengeance and to kill both Jasaus and his padawan.


    She wished to do so, by gaining the help of Lord Duav.


    Though Darth Verash was also a member of the Sphere of Biotic Science, he didn''t becomea Darth, until a bit after, Darth Alogio''s Ascension, otherwise, Darth Verash might''ve been the Dark Council Member instead.


    Darth Alogio also wasn''t one to have Lord Duav as an Apprentice, rather it was an Alliance.


    Lord Duav pledged several droids and cybernetics, and in return, Darth Alogio would pave the way for his Ascension to his Master''s position.


    Currently, Lord Duav and Alogio were speaking with each other, the Lady which was unmistakably a Sith Lord, was, of course, Darth Alogio.


    Darth Alogio was speaking to Lord Duav, "Do you really think that the Inquisitor will actually betray Deragus?".


    In response, Lord Duav replied with a smiling expression for a brief moment and a few words, "He doesn''t have to, or that is needed is doubt. Lies are easy to see through, as is the truth, but lies that are mixed with truth are cloudy and not easily seen through".


    "Perhaps......" Darth Alogio''s voice was like an echo, as she then left the room.


    First Person (Frederick)


    Lord Saza came closer to the second apprentice, he was looking at Lord Saza.


    He leapt towards Lord Saza, and they began to fight, of course, the second apprentice was being suppressed.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Barely dodging the attacks of Lord Saza, the battle went for about five or so seconds, then Lord Saza stabbed the chest of the second apprentice.


    This revealed some cybernetics, this wasn''t surprising as he was, after all, Lord Duav''s apprentice.


    Also, Lord Duav was said to have cybernetics himself, but nobody knew where they were, and it was said that he had them due to a wound he received from an enemy skirmish.


    But he was part of the Biotic Science Sphere, so if he didn''t, he would at least be an expert of such.


    Lord Saza then sliced off the right hand of the second apprentice, it was another cybernetic, Lord Saza took joy in slowly slicing of all of the second apprentice''s cybernetics.


    As if she was purposely avoiding the fatal spots and aiming for the cybernetics.


    More and more of the second apprentice''s body was sliced off, Lord Saza then said, "All your cybernetics are gone! All of it! Even if I don''t kill you, you won''t survive for long anyway!".


    Wait, no that''s not right?


    I could sense that there was still a cybernetic left, just a single one.


    Where was it located?


    It was.......


    Located in the brain!


    I could feel that it wasn''t fully integrated as if the cybernetic chip located in the brain was prevented to fully connect with the brain.


    How did I feel this, I wasn''t sure myself.....


    At this time, I could feel within the second apprentice, conflict.


    As if there were two minds within him....


    Very slowly and carefully, I destroyed the chip, at the same time, Lord Saza was about to strike him, while the second apprentice was down.


    But, all of a sudden, the second apprentice, banged on the floor with his right hand, and I could feel as if the ground shook.


    He then quickly Force pushed Lord Saza away, which threw her into the wall!


    Looking at me with a horrified expression, I could feel that he changed.


    He muttered to himself, "Master Bor''od.....


    Wait, were those tears?


    He began to cry, then he stood up, and he asked me, "My friend.... If you ever have the chance, please go to the JediTemple and tell Master Tysmar, everything that happened!".


    What was this, a long time quest? But, oh well, I might as well, say that I would, if I ever had the chance, I would, if I never did, I wouldn''t.


    "Do not worry, I will..."


    He smiled, and at that moment, I could feel a ripple in the Force, there was so much contentment, an incredible amount of peace.


    He was kneeling on the floor and suddenly his body glowed transparent gold for a few moments and he disappeared.....


    Just like that!


    Won''t Lord Saza ask what happened to the body when she wakes up?


    But, why were his clothes and lightsabers on the floor?


    What? Did he not want to take his clothes to the afterlife?


    Well, Obi-Wan did something similar, so, I suppose, it isn''t that weird.


    Third Person


    Back at Dromund Kaas, Lord Duav in his room felt a sudden change in the Force.


    It wasn''t when his second apprentice died, it was when the cybernetic chip was destroyed!


    How could the microchip be destroyed? It would be virtually impossible to notice, and even harder to get rid of.


    Perhaps he received a head injury and then died? It was possible that someone with incredible control with the Force could get rid of the microchip, but it may not be without injury and it would take great skill.


    Lord Duav was in a panic, he was actually using the microchip, to control his second apprentice!


    If such news were to be revealed to the public, many would go after his head, either to kill him and destroy such a legacy as they feared it, or to steal it and take it for themselves.


    If such a thing happened, even Darth Alogio, may not be able to protect him.


    Also, this meant that his base on Tatooine was now gone, of course, his main base located on Dromund Kaas.


    But he was now quite weakened, but he also had a plan.


    He called upon the HoloNet and in seconds, there was a hologram of a Sith


    This was a young man, he had bloodshot eyes and he was kneeling with one foot up.


    Lord Duav smiled looking at him and he said, "Jalekyle....."


    The young man, responded, "Master?".


    Lord Duav then began to speak, "Go to Tatooine, and find Lord Saza! Do not try to find any information from her, she knows nothing, simply kill her!".


    The young man hearing this also smiled and replied, "As you com---"


    However, before he could finish speaking, Lord Duav suddenly interrupted him and said, "After you kill her, find an Inquisitor called Shaange, he must join us! Even if he refuses, simply capture him and bring him to me!".


    The Hologram then wasshut off, Lord Duav wondered about what happened.


    There was a gap of a few seconds between the destruction of the microchip and the death of his second apprentice, there shouldn''t have been one.


    Realistically, the same moment the microchip was destroyed, the second apprentice should''ve died, unless somehow someone had smashed or sliced the head, then to kill him.


    Lord Duav simply told himself, that he had bigger plans to worry about.


    And that was his duel against, Lord Prosel.......

 The Base (III) Tatooine

    Wondering what to say about the second apprentice''s body now gone, I was waiting for Lord Saza to wake up.


    Eventually, a few Imperial soldiers arrived and looked at me with a confused expression, as more soldiers arrived, one of them eventually asked, "My Lord, what happened?".


    "The second apprentice was slain by me, Lord Saza was injured in the fight, go and tend to her wounds, as for the rest of you, start looking for anything valuable!".


    Immediately, the single soldier went to Lord Saza, and the rest began to look.


    I myself decided to as well, the first place I went to was the second apprentice''s room.


    Searching there, I didn''t find anything of interest.


    Beginning to look through the entire base, I simply couldn''t be bothered, and I gave up.


    Eventually, Lord Saza awoke.


    She was surprised, and immediately asked, "What happened?".


    I replied, "He died, from my hand".


    Hearing this, she knew that what I said was only an excuse, but she accepted it anyway.


    I wondered what to do now, obviously, there were probably still some droids, but I again, couldn''t be bothered.


    But most importantly, I was hungry!


    Even Jedi and Sith required food, to survive on the sustenance of the Force was something unheard of.


    Well, maybe there were some, but I certainly couldn''t.


    I began to walk back to my ship, as I did, I stopped.


    Seeing a cantina, I decided to go there first, as I entered, several pirates immediately moved back.


    None of them looked impressive, as I took a seat at the front, those sitting, except for one decided to move.


    I looked to the only one that didn''t move, he had a cybernetic arm, but it looked to be an old model and one that could be easily replaced by virtually any of the cybernetic arms in the market.


    He had a coat and a hat one, the coat didn''t cover his arm, but his hat did cover his face a bit, not wanting to look rude, I stopped looking at him.


    The bartender looking at me wasn''t afraid, he said smiling, "Giddy up, My Lord! Here is the finest Nerf steak".


    There was sarcasm in such words and a few people surrounding me gave a little laugh, at the same time, the sound of glass breaking could be heard.


    Behind the bartender were several wine glasses, well, there were.


    They were now all shattered glass, why did I do this? It wasn''t to hurt anyone or something, just to frighten them off and tell them, that I''m someone they can''t mess with.


    As it did happen, suddenly whispering happened and the bartender looked to be frightened and asked, "My Lord! Please..... I have a family...."


    He was shaking a bit, I suppose he thought I wouldn''t get so angry, but did they honestly think the Sith would simply spare their lives.


    Well, I would, but if it was virtually any other Sith, then the bartender would''ve died.


    Perhaps he had a backer, but it didn''t matter, I tried to eat the Nerf steak, and finest? Finest my................


    It tasted goddamterrible, in fact, I curse this steak.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Barely edible, and so thick...


    If someone had dentures and bit into this, the dentures would probably come right out.


    I wondered if there was any Bantha steak, but I didn''t want to ask, so I just ate the Nerf steak.


    After eating it, I was full but unsatisfied.


    The food I had while I was being raised up was far better, one thing was that I actually like Nerf steak.


    It was simply prepared better, thinking about home, I remembered the ship, and went there.


    Aridal was simply watching the news, apparently, Serenno had a new leader, he was Count Talbern, his first name was Haromat, and he only became Count as his Sister''s sudden resignation, made him the only viable choice.


    Another thing was the resignation of Jedi Knight, Lortis, he suddenly decided to leave the Jedi Order, he simply said that it was because he wished to marry.


    Countess Talbern and Jedi Knight Lortis..... What a match!


    These events didn''t happen today, but rather yesterday as Imperial space had a bit more trouble getting Republic information, than their own.


    Another surprising thing was the Balmorran Kingdom''s choice to trade with both the Empire and Republic, they began to sell experimental droids, due to this, Czerka arms laid fire to Balmorra, as they saw them as a rival.


    But, the Balmorran Kingdom easily crushed the Czerka Corporation, there were sayings that the Balmorran Kingdom would expand, but both the Empire and Republic had signed treaties so that Balmorra wouldn''t expand more than it currently has.


    There was also some information about, Abednedo, Bardotta, Devaron, Carida, Narq, Halcyon.....


    This news was insignificant, and I was currently bored.


    Tarvis was busy playing a war simulation, I didn''t want to bother him, life was so boring....


    I thought about Pazaak, but that was for another time....


    Deciding to just go to train, there wasn''t much to do.


    I heard that in the Republic there were several television shows and recreational activities.


    Well, unfortunately for me, in the Empire, there was propaganda television and training and more training.


    Going to train, the same instructor was there, and the training room was empty.


    Third Person


    A ship was onboard to Tatooine.


    It seemed to be a combination of the Fury-Class Interceptor and X-70B-Phantom, it was also notably much bigger than the both of them.


    Though not to the size of a Stardestroyer, it was about four times bigger than a Fury-Class Interceptor.


    On board the ship was twenty people, they were fitted in quite comfortably.


    The ship could fit about a thousand to three thousand people, as it had much more hollow space than most ships, despite this, it still had about eight laser cannons and several dozen more turrets.


    However, the optimal fitting was a few hundred people, as there would be space enough for people to easily move.


    At only twenty people, the ship was ghastly empty as it had two storeys, with the first storey being about seventy percent of the ship and having all eight of the canons with a few turrets and the Captain''s Seat.


    The second storey was about thirty percent and had the majority of the turrets.


    On the Captain''s Seat, was a young man, he looked older than Frederick (Shaange) and was likely at the age of twenty-five or so.


    His eyes were bloodshot, and a small bit of them was cybernetic, he had no other visible cybernetics.


    He wore a battle armour sort of clothing and had two lightsabers, but they were clearly different to each other, which implied he received them at different times.


    Next to him were several soldiers and an officer.


    As the ship was entering the atmosphere of Tatooine, there was an old miraluka.


    He looked to the sky and muttered to himself, "A bad omen....."


    Lord Saza felt something move, and she immediately commanded, "All space stations close!".


    Moff Yeron simply did as she demanded, he knew of the fighting between Lord Saza''s side and Lord Duav''s side.


    He wanted to avoid Sith politics, and as he was a Moff, he had quite the power in affairs, even those Sith Lords were careful of him.


    The Minister of War could only be commanded by the Three Dark Councilors of Defense of the Empire, Military Offense and Military Strategy, and the Emperor.


    Even Verash was incapable of commanding the Minister, in fact, he didn''t have the capabilities of ordering the Grand Moff, either.


    Though, this was more due to the fame of the Grand Moff of the Empire, who was far more visible and well reputed than most if not all of the Sith.


    For this current time, Moff Yeron decided to simply hide and grant a Colonel, temporary power.


    The Planetary Governor was simply living his life in luxury and was ignorant of what was currently happening.


    As Lord Saza saw the ship coming down, she became ready to intercept it, other than Moff Yeron''s Flagship which was a Capital Ship and a Star Destroyer, there were no other ships capable of intercepting it.


    Though it was reputed as a Star Destroyer, it was barely one as Moff Yeron was an extremely poor Moff and his old ship which truly deserved the name of a Star Destroyer, was lately destroyed by the Republic.


    Moff Yeron didn''t want to use it, and Lord Saza understood that it was likely too big, so she decided to simply wait for the first apprentice to arrive.


    Then the battle would begin, all while Frederick (Shaange) was training.....

 Jalekyle (I) Tatooine

    Third Person


    As Jalekyle''s ship was coming down, the space station was completely surrounded by soldiers.


    As the ship was coming down, there were cannons that were going to shoot it down.


    However, just before it could.


    A sniper shot was heard!


    More and more sniper shots and the soldiers fell unconscious.


    After a few waves, they seemed to disappear, and the ship was down, at the same time, the soldiers could hear running.


    Lord Saza looked to the Colonel to which Moff Yeron gave temporary power to and demanded to know, what was happening, "What''s happening Colonel? I thought War Leader Yonte agreed to a truce?".


    The Colonel was silent and all of a sudden, he received a call, it was from a holoprojector.


    Lord Saza saw that it was being called, she immediately took it from him and put it on.


    As it was on, War Leader Yonte could be seen, he looked dismayed and looked to be full of regret.


    Lord Saza immediately asked, "War Leader Yonte, are these your troops?".


    War Leader Yonte replied, "They aren''t, they are the troops of War Leader Macer".


    Lord Saza asked, "War Leader Macer? Wasn''t it only one War Leader every few thousand kilometres?".


    War Leader Yonte showed a dismayed expression and replied, "Yes..... But, he--"


    The holoprojector then suddenly shut down.


    At the same time, within the ship, a hologram of an elderly Mandalorian was speaking to the Jalekyle.


    "Sith, I have surrounded your enemy, now release him!".


    The Jalekyle looked towards him and said, "Very well, but, first, we must defeat Lord Saza".


    The Mandalorian had an outraged expression, he was no ordinary War Leader, he outranked Yonte in seniority and was referred to as, Mandalore''s Second.


    Before Mandalore herself, he was the highest level of authority of the Mandalorians, winning the Great Hunt many decades ago, he refused to become Mandalore as he felt too old.


    He was by no means, the same as a few decades ago, physically weaker, however still as energetic, he travelled the Galaxy as a mercenary.


    He disbanded his once enormous Band of a few thousand Mandalorians, instead of for a small group of a hundred of the best Mandalorians.


    But, most of them were now dead, some of them left to become War Leaders themselves or Commanders, and a very small amount stayed.


    One day, he was travelling through space with his band, as he recently recruited some new blood, he sent them all on tasks.


    And one of them was caught by a Sith, this Sith wasn''t Jalekyle, but rather, an acolyte that travelled with him.


    The one caught was a young teenager that demanded a trial by combat, and he fought against a Sith and almost won, but the Sith then cheated and stabbed through the leg of the young teenager.


    He was extremely talented, and War Leader Macer saw that, and when he heard this news, he was outraged and immediately demanded the Jalekyle for the young teenager back.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Jalekyle, in return, sent footage of the young teenager, he was being starved and beaten, War Leader Macer seeing this, became even more outraged.


    He thought of Mandalorians as a family, he vowed, that as soon as he would get the young teenager back, he would kill the Sith.


    But, for now, he had to cooperate, for the young teenager.


    Jalekyle was now talking to someone else, it was about three other Mandalorians, they wore armour similar to Yonte and Macer, the first spoke, "Sith, we will not forget our deal, we will help you against the other Sith, but Macer''s head will belong to us!".


    Jalekyle smiling replied back, "Of course my friends, I will contact you when Macer is taken care of".


    Currently, War Leader Macer''s Mandalorians were fighting against Lord Saza''s soldiers.


    The Colonel himself leapt in and shot a few, and even knocked down a veteran of War Leader Macer''s band.


    However, he was shortly shot after, but surprisingly, not dead, but rather stunned.


    Jalekyle''s ship then dropped down, it barely fit within the space station, as he left, there were several soldiers and officers walking with him.


    As he walked, he slew anyone that went into his way.


    A Mandalorian even tried to secretly kill him, but he was quickly disposed of.


    The Mandalorians weren''t fighting for a single person, they were fighting for their family and their dignity.


    If they allowed a Sith, that wasn''t even a Lord to push them, how would they stand up again?


    In the glory days of War Leader Macer, even Darth Alogio''s Father was well knowing of Macer and his reputation.


    But, alas, after so many years, what was left?


    Though other Mandalorians may also subordinate themselves to Sith and be more strict in their members, War Leader Macer saw Mandalorians as a family, didn''t he?


    Most other Mandalorians wouldn''t.


    As the fighting was all happening, Frederick was simply training, and he just kept on doing so.


    Lord Saza decided to retreat or not, however as Jalekyle came closer, suddenly the Mandalorians began shooting to him.


    Jalekyle smiled and said, "How, obvious...."


    Suddenly the soldiers took off their gloves, and it revealed robotic hands, all these soldiers were actually robots.


    The officers, however, were still human, and simply stood there, whilst slowly moving back.


    War Leader Macer ran charging to Jalekyle.


    Lord Saza seeing this smiled as if she knew this would happen! She then commanded for all troops to shoot Jalekyle.


    War Leader Macer came running and tried to jump on Jalekyle with a knife, but at that moment.....


    A head came flying off, but at the same time, a sound could be heard....


    It was beeping, and all of a sudden, War Leader Macer''s body exploded.


    Jalekyle was flown back into a wall, he laughed slightly whilst muttering, "Looks, that old fool still had some tricks..."


    He was surprisingly only lightly damaged, in truth, in a second before, he moved back as quick as he could.


    Lord Saza took this chance and quickly came in, using her lightsaber, she swung at Jalekyle.


    He was disorientated, but he quickly became ready.


    Though he was using two lightsabers and proficient with them, he was on the losing edge, due to the injury.


    At that time, hethrew something on the floor and ran to press it with his feet.


    Doing so, he ran away, quickly.


    Lord Saza tried to Force pull him back, but he was a bit too far for it to be effective.


    Then, there could be seen three ships coming from space, they immediately entered the atmosphere, these were undoubtedly Mandalorian troops.


    A ship followed them, it was a ship that Frederick that seen before, the very ship that rescued him from Balmorra.


    Lord Prosel had arrived!


    But, then another ship arrived, it was the Flagship of Lord Duav.


    Darth Deragus''s own ship also arrived, as did Darth Alogio''s.


    There was a strange standoff, but they eventually agreed that, whoever won on Tatooine, would be the only one allowed on Tatooine, this was recorded through the entire holonet, therefore making it an agreement, they wouldn''t break lightly.


    It was simply who would win, Lord Saza and Shaange, or Jalekyle and the Mandalorians.


    Mandalore was silent, and the Empire was waiting for her response.


    Jalekyle ran about a few hundred metres extremely quickly, after running, he was exhausted, and hurt!


    Then there could be seen three ships, as they landed, Jalekyle showed a happy expression.


    But, at the same time, all the soldiers that were shot down by either Lord Saza''s soldiers or the Mandalorians, began to stand up.


    Even the Colonel stood up, as did the Veteran.


    With the latter looking to the former and remarking, "Hahaha, do you think we got them?".


    The Veteran said this whilst also looking a bit sad when looking towards the headless body of his Leader....


    First Person


    Whats with all that noise?


    I was just training!


    As I leave the room, I see several dozen bodies on the floor that just got up.....


    Oh, it''s Lord Saza, I''ll ask her what this is about.

 Jalekyle (II) Tatooine

    As I walked to Lord Saza, I walk past the body of a decapitated man, for a second, I stop, I looked at him for a good few seconds, and I continue on.


    The Mandalorians held their guns up to me, but I kept on moving, trying to act tough, I had the face that showed I didn''t care.


    Lord Saza then looked at me and said, "Shaange, Jalekyle has arrived, Duav and Prosel have both made a deal of non-interference on this planet."


    I asked, "Jalekyle? Non-interference?".


    Lord Saza then began to explain everything, I wish that she didn''t.


    Jalekyle was the first apprentice of Lord Duav, and he was rumoured tohave killed several Jedi Knights in the attack of Dantooine.


    He got the help of three Mandalorian War Leaders, they were apparently wishing to usurp Mandalore, but they failed, and they decided to go under Jalekyle.


    Additionally, she sided with War Leader Macer, the man who was decapitated, I remember reading a history telegram about him, he was the Winner of a Great Hunt and even slew Darth Nesras for a favour he owed to the now, Dark Council Member, Darth Gertis.


    But, Darth Gertis was despondent for several years now, he left to explore the unknown regions, but his position was fiercely defended by his apprentice, Darth Reklan.


    But, War Leader Macer wasn''t the same as he was a few years ago, perhaps Force Users and certain species could live for several decades more than their own and still feel young, but Macer wasn''t the same.


    Darth Gertis was two centuries old, but through a terrifying ritual which sacrificed dozens of Jedi, he regained his youthful vigour, and he was a wound in the Force itself.


    Though at the same time, Darth Gertis wasn''t fully human, rather half Sith Pureblood, and this likely attributed to his long age and youthful vigour.


    War Leader Macer, on the other hand, was about seventy, he was the pinnacle of human achievement, excluding the Force of course.


    Well, he was dead right now, rest in peace, War Leader.


    Also, Aridal and Tarvis were still on the ship, Lord Saza had told them to stay there, and wait.


    She also told me to get the both of them and get ready for any attacks.


    While I did go to the shipyard, I was thinking of the odds of our battle.


    It was 1 to 4.


    There were about two hundred of us and eight hundred of them....


    We, however, had the more elite soldiers and artillery, but they had vehicles and the sort, and I even heard some prototype doids.


    When the three Mandalorian War Leaders failed to usurp Mandalore, they were dishonoured and most of their own men left them, only a few remained, and they were the current soldiers going with Jalekyle.


    Lord Duav, however, supplied them, prototype droids to help them against us, as I was thinking, I looked to the shipyard and I saw.......


    A giant ship, it dwarfed every other ship, and I see a door opening, I was for a second afraid, but as it opened, I could see Aridal smiling seeing me.


    He leapt towards me, jumping about a few metres......


    Tarvis was close behind him, I wondered what they were doing in there, Aridal was just about to talk, but Tarvis cut him off, "My Lord.... I tried to stop him, but he really wanted to look inside this ship."


    Aridal then pulled me and said, "Tarvis said there might be bombs in here, but I didn''t find a single one! But, I did find some interesting things!".


    I followed Aridal, and as I did, I saw something surprising.


    There were several deactivated droids, I came close and inspected it, this was likely Jalekyle''s ship, immediately, I looked at Tarvis and asked, "Can we reprogram these droids?".If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Tarvis hearing this smiled and seemed eager to prove himself, "My Lord, we most definitely can, especially since they aren''t on yet."


    I replied, "Good, reprogram them immediately".


    Tarvis then used a screwdriver sort of tool and began to open the heads, he took out a chip, but then it immediately turned on and Tarvis jumped back, I immediately chopped its head off with a lightsaber.


    Tarvis then said, "A bit harder than I expected, but I came top of the class for......."


    Damn, your good at bragging.


    Tarvis came top of the class for virtually all of his subjects, except physical, where he came second, to which he called the first place, a block-head.


    After five minutes, he actually managed to reprogram a droid, and seeing this, I felt fine keeping him with the rest, but I was a bit afraid.


    After an hour or so, he reprogrammed about five of them, there was originally eight, but I found three of them to be "defective".


    I asked Aridal, "Anything else?".


    Aridal replied, "Nope, there aren''t any more droids".


    Just in case, "Anything at all?".


    Aridal replied, "Nope, nothing at all".


    Considering his ability to sense the bombs under the electric centre, he was probably telling the truth, and I looked to Tarvis and said, "Stay here, and send the droids, when I tell you".


    Tarvis nodded his head and I and Aridal left the ship and went to Lord Saza.


    There, Lord Saza gave us the battle plan, most of the Imperial soldiers were in turrets and artillery.


    We also had hidden Mandalorians that would act in the last second, as they would provide themselves as a surprise attack against Jalekyle.


    I would also, use the droids against Jalekyle at the last second if need be.


    Jalekyle would likely come with many vehicles, tanks would be considered common, as would speeders and walkers.


    There were also some elite Mandalorians with Jalekyle, but most of them with their pride and dignity couldn''t bear being under his leadership and left.


    I and Aridal found a position, the people were all in turrets, hiding or before a barricade and waiting for the battle to begin.


    I was in a tower, it was quite tall and made of durasteel unless it was shot several times or by a powerful missile, we would be fine, the area was quite minimal as well.


    There were two ways to attack, it was the front of where I was and the right, the left and the back were virtually impossible as there was a higher build-up of sand there than here.


    In fact, even the right was almost impossible to attack from, who knew if there was some quick-sand or sand people that appeared out of nowhere.


    Only the front was a verified pathway of attack, of course, ships could simply fly above it, and some tanks may go without trouble, but going another way, other than the front, was considered more stupid than recklessly simply attacking from the front.


    As I waited, I could hear shouts.


    "Here they come!".


    "I see three starships from the back, get the missiles ready, now!".


    "Tanks and walkers in front"


    "Get the artillery ready!".


    More and more, the battle had begun.....


    Third Person


    Outside of the Planet of Tatooine, there was a Star Destroyer, within it wasabout ten thousand personnel, it could fit more, but the truth was that the owner of the Star Destroyer, Moff Yeron couldn''t afford to fit more.


    With the length of a thousand metres, it struck fear into the hearts of whatever foe it met, as long as said foe hadn''t a bigger Starship.


    Though it was only two and a half times bigger than Jalekyle''s own Starship, it could fit about twenty thousand people, on the virtue of it having several storeys, capable of holding a few thousand people.


    Moff Yeron had a dismayed expression, he couldn''t intervene in this fight, that was why he fled, though with the permission of Lord Saza.


    Imperials fought their own inner struggles, and Sith fought their own.


    If he intervened, he feared the retaliation of Darth Alogio and Lord Duav, even though he had the backing of Lord Saza and Darth Deragus, he was still afraid.


    His old Starship was destroyed by the Republic, within it was several tens of thousands of personnel, twice size of what he had now, if he lost what he had now, he would be a Moff without a Star Destroyer.


    Which Moff didn''t have a Star Destroyer?


    He only came to Tatooine as he was given a "very generous" sum from the Minister of War to help with his nephew, the Governor of Tatooine.


    In truth, the Minister of War himself was ordered by Darth Deragus, one of the Three Dark Councillors that reigned command over him to give a "little bit" of help to Lord Saza.


    The Minister of War, of course, realizing that his own direct intervention as the head of the Imperial''s Military would cause of many waves and controversies opted to instead indirectly help by granting Moff Yeron the sum to help Lord Saza and used the order of helping his nephew as an excuse.


    By this, Moff Yeron was given the sum to purchase a new Star Destroyer and hire all the current personnel on the Star Destroyer.


    He also understood that any movement by him, may be seen as a statement of battle, currently, he could see the Flagships of Lord Prosel and Lord Duav, both were Battlecruisers and the size of about five thousand metres.


    Five times bigger than his own, a single minute of exchange could devastate his ship, and do virtually nothing to the Battlecruiser.


    However, Darth Alogio and Darth Deragus had even greater ships, Darth Alogio had a ship of six thousand metres, whereas Darth Deragus had a ship of seven thousand metres, of course, just because Darth Deragus had a bigger ship, didn''t mean it wasbetter.


    It had far more weaponry and a greater shield system, however, Darth Alogio''s Flagship could travel far quicker using its hyperdrive.


    Another thing was that there was no spaceport capable of holding his Star Destroyer, if he landed it just anywhere, who knew what might happen.

 Jalekyle (III) Tatooine

    The three ships shot at us, however, they were quickly being taken down.


    But, they were likely more of a distraction, as while virtually all of the artillery was concentrated on them, speeders came out of nowhere.


    However, they themselves were shot by the Mandalorian snipers, this was done with a one hundred percent accuracy, even trained Imperial commandos may not have the sameability.


    These Mandalorian snipers were, of course, the most elite of the Mandalorians.


    The speeders then stopped coming and the tanks moved forward.


    The walkers also went to try and shoot the soldiers hiding behind the barricade, but it didn''t work quite well for them.


    There were easily taken down, by grenades and only tanks were left.


    At this time, the three ships actually fell down already, but at the same time, I could hear shouting, "We''re all out of missiles!".


    Wasn''t that a bit quick?


    At the same time, I could hear Lord Saza asking the Colonel a question.


    "Colonel did the military budget not secure......."


    The Colonel was speechless, and before he could even mutter a word, an explosion could be heard.


    The tanks were shooting at our barricades andLord Saza hearing this simply decided not to take it any longer and commanded, "Colonel, lead your troops".


    The Colonel then went and he himself picked up a gun, and next to him was the veteran who decided to go with him.


    At this time, the Colonel and everyone else was waiting, suddenly the tanks were hit by the artillery.


    There were about eight tanks, and these were like the walkers and speeders, custom tanks.


    To call them the same as normal tanks would be insulting the workmanship of the creator.


    Lord Duav had made these tanks, they were infamous in the Empire for being among the strongest, however, their cost was simply too high for the thought of mass production.


    A single one of these costabout the same as twenty normal tanks, whilst their defences and power were also far superior, twenty times was not how many times it was better by.


    Additionally, there were always tricks that could apply to both tanks.


    Though the tanks were hit by the artillery, there were virtually unharmed and they kept moving on.


    The artillery kept on going more and more, though this kept on going, the tankers were still with barely any harm done to them.


    At this time, Lord Saza herself then entered, like an assassin, she used her lightsaber to slice through the tanks.


    Not a single bolt of energy touched her, dodging it all, she easily went through the other tanks, and at the same time, the sniper shots became far quicker but still as accurate.


    As all the eight tanks were destroyed, Lord Saza then moved back stealthily, however, she had been shot in the right shoulder, but it didn''t seem to be that bad, well, at least to what I could tell.


    She slowly moved back and began to heal her wounds.


    At this time, our eyes met, and I realized that I probably shouldn''t be staying in this tower.


    I and Aridal quickly left the tower and got ready to fight.


    With the tanks gone, there were only speeders and walkers now, and now it was the battle of the soldiers.


    A barrage of shots came to the speeders, this made it extremely hard for them to advance.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    However, the walkers were resistant to such blasts, I Force pushed the walker to the ground, as did Aridal with the others.


    Seeing the walker actually fall due to me, I was quite surprised, but then I remembered still how weak I was.


    I couldn''t rely on the Dark Side for the raw power, nor could I on the Light Side as I didn''t see myself as a Jedi or someone like that.


    Aridal was like that as well, but he simply had so much Force-potential (Midi-chlorians) that it didn''t matter!


    He could Force push as much as he wanted to, but I prevented him, as I felt a bit afraid that he would lose control.


    As the walkers fell to the ground, there was also a pause, the barrage of shots had to stop, as there was a need to reload.


    Speeders once more came, and I drew out my lightsaber, ready to kill.


    It was quite the moral question about killing, but it was either them or me!


    This strengthened my resolve, but the thought of their families grieving, still gave me worries.


    Regardless, if I had the chance to not kill them, I would, but if I had to, I would.


    One might say that I was desensitized, but in such a World, it was necessary.


    Hey, wasn''t I defenestrated in my past life?


    Oh, and I took the person that did so with me!


    But anyway, as they arrived, I immediately sliced the speeder and tried to Force push the person on it.


    It was a light push, and it pushed him back a little bit, I tried a bit harder and it did work.


    Then I saw Aridal Force push a group of speeders with their people on.


    The disparity was simply unfair, the people that were Force pushed were eventually shot.


    A few that did come in close, I had to kill, thankfully they were wearing armour, so it wasn''t like there was gore or blood.


    This battle kept on continuing until all I was doing was swinging my lightsaber left and right, and Force-pushing any that I could.


    Aridal did the same, but almost as if he was doing so playfully.


    Eventually, as time passed, the waves began to lessen, taking a sneak peak, there were dozens, no hundreds of bodies.


    Though I and Aridal likely killed at most dozens together, our Force pushes were definitely orchestral in the killing as any speeders that would come close would be Force-pushed and walkers would also be taken down.


    Abit shaken by the deaths, I continued on, as for Aridal, once again it was as if he was doing it playfully.


    Continuing on, the battle was honestly getting a boring.


    I wasn''t like Serjay Thul, who enjoyed the blood of my enemies, it was very boring.


    There was an intense pack of adrenaline during the beginning, but it slowly died out, as if it was a bit too easy.


    About twenty minutes passed, and even Aridal looked quite bored, at this time, the people finally broke through,


    The entrance was divided into two sides, I was on the left, and the right was just recently destroyed.


    But as long as one of the sides was made an entrance into, the other would be virtually useless, thus, I had to retreat, as I did, I saw the Colonel and asked of the battle progress.


    "My Lord, our estimates state we have killed about five hundred of theirs, whereas we only have eighty-seven, however, we have........"


    I wonder why they were using human wave tactics, it was very strange, maybe the Empire might, but for Mandalorians to?


    It was indeed strange, but something quite surprised me.


    Using a binocular, in the distance, I could see strange droids coming, there moved strangely, and they instantly jumped over anything, even easily breaking through the first line........


    Third Person


    As the fight had just begun, Jalekyle and the three Mandalorian War Leader were speaking with each other within the First War Leader''s Captain''s Room.


    An angered War Leader spoke to Jalekyle in protest, "Sith, your tactics are simply human waves! There is no honour, there is no-".


    Before the angered War Leader could continue, Jalekyle refuted him, "Honour? Where is your honour when you tried to usurp your Leader, Mandalorian".


    The War Leader took a step back, and Jalekyle left the room, and the three War Leaders conversed with each other.


    Though they were disgraced and dishonourable, even then, they felt honour bound as a whole.


    They saw Mandalore as a weak leader, and sought to replace her, they agreed that the honour would go to the First War Leader.


    The First War Leader was a female Zabrak, named Rupre, she was the protege of War Leader Macer, however, his refusal to become Mandalore, made Rupre herself wish to become Mandalore and surpass Macer.


    Unfortunately for her, the position was taken, by the Current Mandalore, Sevoo Sai.


    Due to this, they attempted to usurp her, however, they failed and were subsequently dishonoured, despite this, many still criticizedMandalore''s actions.


    The three Mandalorian War Leaders were definitely within the top ten Mandalorians in the Galaxy, their removal had lead to a great power gap, though Macer was killed, he was no longer recognised as the same powerhouse, but his fame and reputation were seen through the entire Galaxy even now.


    This lead to many War Leaders that supported the Sevoo Sai, before becoming Mandalore to lash out at the three Mandalorian War Leaders.


    Fortunately, Macer''s death wasn''t announced yet, if it was, it would cause even more controversies and it would be likely that most if not all Mandalorians would work together to destroy the three Mandalorian War Leaders.


    The First Mandalorian War Leader spoke to the other two and assured them, "Brother, Sister, we have gone too far, if this Sith is truly as incredible as he says, then we must bow, there is no dishonour in bowing to a worthy opponent."


    The Second and Third Mandalorian War Leader grudgingly agreed, they were honour bound to keep their deal, regardless, Jalekyle promised victory and the head of Macer, which for some reason, was something that the First Mandalorian War Leader wanted.


    Nor the Second or Third War Leader knew of why, but only that she wished for it.

 Jalekyle (IV) Tatooine

    As the strange droids then easily broke through the front, I immediately contacted Tarvis to activate the droids found within Jalekyle''s ship.


    Hopefully, Jalekyle didn''t realize they were sliced and disabled them, but anyway, as long as they didn''t help him, it would be beneficial to me.


    They were far too quick to be hit by turrets, of course, if they were fighting me, turrets could shoot at them, but potentially, also me.


    Though some were hit by our own soldiers, they were more similar to dents or marks left behind.


    Within only seconds they were almost in front of me, igniting my lightsaber, I became ready.


    It looked strange, it seemed to be a mix of a MagnaGuard, Super Battle Droid and something else, of course, it wasn''t actually a combination, but that was simply what it looked like!


    It had, very strange arms as if it was skeletal, then, as I was thinking about it, appearing in front of me, was the droid.


    It then tried to attack me, not with a weapon, but with its hands!


    The hands were full of purple lightning, it was as if an electro staff, but turned into hands.


    I still tried to slice the hands, there was a moment of difficulty but after that, I was able to simply chop off the hands, it was likely that this droid was among the first models.


    However, at the same time, the hands which I chopped, grabbed my leg, taking me by surprise, I jumped back, to see it.


    I quickly took it off, thankfully, it wasn''t too strong.


    At such a moment like this, Soresu lost most of its efficiency, but I could still anticipate the moves until the droids then began to move crazily....


    However, at the same time, due to this, I found it easier to slice them.


    Even if I couldn''t predict their movements, such crazy moves would end up being their doom.


    Other than Soresu, I knew, Niman, or Form VI, the Form of the Rancor.


    This was little more than superficial knowledge, it was what I learnt from my instructors, Lord Zavan never saw it to train me, always relegating the duty to my instructors.


    He, however, of course, did train my sister, I wonder how she----


    Oh, that was close, the strange droid came quite close, as it did, I quickly sliced its arm, and just in case, I stepped on what I just sliced.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    With its arm gone, I quickly tried to slice the other, and I just dodged a kick, then slicing off not it''s head, but it''s chest, as was the core of energy.


    I kicked it back, and it exploded.


    There were about five droids now, there was originally ten, I had destroyed one, and Aridal had destroyed another.


    And the Mandalorians had now acted, within seconds, three droids were destroyed by them, however, the other five, came together and made it near impossible to fight them.


    Grenades and guns would have little to no effect, the Mandalorians had destroyed them by stabbing their energy core, with their beskar knives.


    Even lightsabers wouldn''t be able to penetrate a thickness of beskar comparable to a sword, much less, these strange droids.


    Though they were together, one Mandalorian attempted to pull one out, however this time, the Mandalorian was actually kicked away with incredible ease.


    At this time, five droids appeared, they looked similar to the strange droids, but they seemed to be perhaps, new models?


    As I could see some Mandalorians preparing to shoot them, I shouted out, "Wait".


    Suddenly, the five droids then went to the strange droids, the strange droids all dodged, and that time, I quickly ran to it, as did some other Mandalorians.


    As the droids fought against each other, we picked off the strange droids, but at this time.


    I could see a lightsaber moving through the battlefield, it chopped the heads off several droids, undistinguishing of both the strange droids and found within Jalekyle''s ship.


    For a second, I saw a quick shadow, then, I saw the lightsaber grabbed by the shadow as it moved back like a boomerang.


    The same shadows, then moving through and beheading or slicing several Mandalorians, moving towards me, I stood still in fear, then I heard a voice............


    Third Person


    Up above the atmosphere of Tatooine, was Darth Deragus overlooking the battle.


    Like everyone else, his eye was planted on four people, Aridal, Frederick (Shaange), Jalekyle and Lord Saza.


    They didn''t expect the turn of events, but it wasn''t surprising, in his youth, Darth Deragus once orchestrated the death of Lord Ivaris by turning his entire council against him.


    As for Darth Alogio? She once tricked an army of several tens of thousands with an army of a thousand, that her force ranged in the millions.


    To them, the turn of events, was only different, to what they normally saw.


    He was most of all looking at Aridal, he was quite astonished by the prowess of Aridal, but he knew his own limits.


    At this time, a ship was entering the space above Tatooine.


    This was the Flagship of Mand''alor, it was known as the Spirited Redeemer, at about five thousand metres long, it was the Dreadnaught of the Mandalorians.


    Though House and Clan Leaders would die and become nothing more than a memory, Mand''alor was immortal, he or she was the sole ruler of the Mandalorians.


    He or she, that wore the mask of Mand''alor, was Mand''alor, regardless of race, anyone as long as they could prove themselves could be Mand''alor.


    For Mand''alor to appear above Tatooine, this was a great surprise to both Darth Alogio and Darth Deragus, as to them, the Mandalorians were an incredible ally, and within the society of Mandalorians.


    There was a group known as the Macer Group, comprised of dozens of Mandalorian veterans, each being famous enough to be known on the Core Worlds and there was even a Grand Champion of the Great Hunt within it.


    They were all past members of Macer''s band, and heavily supported the current Mand''alor, if it found out that Macer was slain by Sith, they might turn against the Empire!


    Such a force, whilst wouldn''t defeat the Empire, would virtually mean the Empire against Mandalore, something that would frighten even Dark Councillors.


    But it seemed that Darth Alogio and Lord Duav had a plan.......

 Jalekyle (V) Tatooine

    A shadow that moved, this had to be Jalekyle, who else had such mastery of Ataru that wished to kill me?


    But then, I heard the voice of Aridal, he screamed out, "Master, watch out!".


    Subconsciously, I moved my lightsaber, and it moved to the point of getting ready to defend, the shadow became slower, and Jalekyle looked towards me.


    As if he was about to dodge me and simply go through, I wasn''t sure why, but I blocked his way.


    He stopped and looked at me with a confused expression and said, "Move out of the way, Saza must die, you, however, can live...."


    Though his words sounded like relief, I couldn''t trust them, I held up my lightsaber pointing to him, in defiance.


    If I ran right now, and Lord Saza won, wouldn''t she kill me then?


    If I ran and he won, what if he went back on his promise?


    This was the most dangerous and safe way.


    Jalekyle seeing this smirked and muttered some words I couldn''t hear.


    Also at this time, Lord Saza at a speed equal to Jalekyle appeared next to me and ignited her own lightsaber.


    I moved my hand to signal Aridal to not fight, though his Force powers were quite incredible, he had little to no knowledge of fighting with lightsabers.


    Also, Jalekyle''s lightsaber actually seemed to be a double-bladed lightsaber.


    He seemed to previously only be using one blade, but now he was using both.


    Striking Lord Saza heavily, I tried to intervene, but he simply used one part of the blade to obstruct me.


    Lord Saza was being quite suppressed, and I kept trying to find a gap, unable to.


    I bore my strike heavier and heavier as well, but they were to little avail.


    Eventually, Lord Saza managed to parry and attack Jalekyle, to which Jalekyle moved back.


    As he was about to attack Lord Saza, who seemed tired, I blocked the attack, and Jalekyle looked at me with bloodshot eyes.


    He simply Force pushed me away and began to fight Lord Saza once more.


    Lord Saza was gradually momentum and losing, and getting back up, I tried to find more chance to attack.


    Unable to find any, Lord Saza was pushed to the floor, however at the time, that he was going to slice her, I tried to attack from the back.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    This distracted him as he looked at me, and Lord Saza mustered her strength and rose from the floor and slashed Jalekyle''s back.


    Jalekyle screamed, it was loud, but he quickly regained his thoughts.


    And he immediately kicked me and began to strike Lord Saza.


    I could see the slash of Jalekyle''s back, it wasn''t deep, but it wasn''t shallow.


    He tore down on Lord Saza even greater now, quickly, Lord Saza was disarmed, and he began to choke her.


    At this time, I stood up and tried to save her.


    If she died, my death was obvious.


    If she lived, then there was at least a chance.


    Though I was Force pushed, I wasn''t injured heavily and I began to run.


    As I did, Jalekyle let go of Lord Saza and looked at me, I froze.


    The eyes of a monster and his presence was like a demon.....


    The Dark Side as if it was manifested inside of him, though it wasn''t as deep as Darth Verash, he was openly expressing it, but Darth Verash wasn''t.


    I felt, even more, fear, beginning to shake, I closed my eyes, and I thought of the Force.


    As if I could feel it go through my body, I remembered the Jundland Wastes and calmed down.


    Standing still, I dropped my lightsaber and took a breath.


    I could clearly see all the darkness, but the darkness had clouded his mind.


    Seeing a dark cloud of darkness running towards me, I opened my eyes.


    He jumped towards me, and I couldn''t feel my fear anymore.


    Memories appeared, everything from my old life to my new life.


    From my old family and Sister to Lord Frezan and Aridal.


    As if time had stopped, I saw the enraged Jalekyle bore down his lightsaber to slice me.


    As if time had resumed, I dodged it, he was far too angry to think.


    But, right now for whatever strange reason I could feel some restraint in his actions, as if though he wanted nothing more than to kill, he also tried to avoid killing me for some reason.


    I tried to disarm him, by holding his hand with my left and pushing it with my right as quickly as I could.


    However, it didn''t work, and he began to try and strike me, I dodged with Soresu.


    More and more, I dodged and dodged.


    Such brutal attacks without elegance, they were quite easy to dodge, but I worried that if this kept on going, that he might regain focus and begin his previous attacks.


    As the dodging continued, his bloodshot eyes were now strangely blue, they were previously a mix of yellow and red.


    Another thing was that, whilst his thrusts were now elegant, they were without as if intent to kill.


    About a few minutes had passed, and he had already regained his focus, he rather looked quite calm for some reason.


    Dodging more and more, I wasn''t sure why, but he had an almost impossible to notice, smile.


    At this time, it was as if he was making his moves predictable for me.


    Eventually, I tried to attack him, and as if he let me attack him, and as I tried to disarm him again, I put the lightsaber off, he held it and pulled me in.


    He looked at me with clear blue eyes and muttered words I couldn''t hear again.


    Holding the lightsaber to his chest and my hand, he put the lightsaber on.....


    The lightsaber went through his own chest and he fell.......


    I wasn''t sure of what happened, perhaps it was similar to the second Apprentice?


    Third Person


    Lord Duav seeing what happened, had a dismayed expression and was quite perplexed as to what happened.


    Though he could see what was happened down there, it wasn''t perfect, but he saw that Frederick easily dodged the attacks of Jalekyle and later, slew him with his own lightsaber that Jalekyle was holding.


    On the other hand, Darth Deragus seeing the footwork of Frederick was quite surprised, completely silent, but also smiling, he didn''t know what to say, as Lord Prosel was next to him, and likewise recognised the footwork.


    Darth Alogio didn''t know what to say, it was merely, quite strange, realistically, Jalekyle should''ve easily killed Frederick, but he didn''t!


    As for Mand''alor, she simply watched and waited.

 Alsash (I) Dromund Kaas

    Third Person


    Jalekyle''s death was the sign of loss for Lord Duav on Tatooine.


    Lord Duav became severely weakened, losing Tatooine was one thing, but losing his first apprentice was another.


    The Three Mandalorian War Leaders surrendered and were surprisingly spared by Mand''alor the Emancipator.


    At the same time, a smuggler by the name of, "Sky Hunter", gained infamy by somehow destroying a fleet of Hutt Ships, with only his own.


    Another event was the rise of a new house on Aldeeran, thenews of the pregnancy of the formerCountess of Serenno and that, Lord Zavan''s new Apprentice slew Jedi Knight, Kyba Zu.


    These were of course only minor events, the biggest event was......


    The Dark Councilor of Mysteries was slain by a Jedi Strike Team!


    The entire Empire was riled up, the Republic, on the other hand, replied that the Jedi Strike Team, was rogue as they followed in the ideas of Grey Jedi, an excuse used to secretly attack the Empire.


    The New Dark Councilor immediately took on the predecessors position, and subsequently purged most of the old members.


    Over a hundred Sith were slain, and the new Dark Council Member of Mysteries was, Darth Ryzar, he slew virtually all the higher echelon members of the old Sphere of Mysteries.


    Other Dark Councilors were quick to see this as arrogant and a mistake, but Darth Ryzar simply ignored them all.


    First Person


    Jalekyle is now dead, and I''m right now leaving Tatooine.


    After his death, everything just fell into place, Moff Yeron wished me safe travels, and surprisingly on the ship, there was news of a new Dark Councilor, Darth Ryzar was his name....


    Honestly, I didn''t care that much, I was legitimately more focused on the point that the former Countess of Serenno was now pregnant with a former Jedi''s child.


    Also, my sister seemed to have killed a Jedi Knight, quite impressive, I wondered how she did it.


    But, anyway, right now, I was travelling to Dromund Kaas in hyperspace, I was called back to Dromund Kaas by Lord Prosel.


    Lord Saza likewise left, however not as she was ordered, but as her purpose was fulfilled, the destruction of Lord Duav''s base on Tatooine.


    On the way, there, we made it to the space station, there, whilst I didn''t change clothes, Tarvis had some minor changes, as he was promoted to Captain.


    Aridal also changed his clothes, it looked like a robe of some sort, over his clothes, he had before.


    As for me, I simply kept what I had.


    As we were now entering Dromund Kaa''s atmosphere, the Planetary Ports immediately seeing the ship we had, directed us to the closest space station.


    We quickly, without any interference landed down.


    Upon doing so, I quickly made myself to Lord Prosel''s residence.


    Lord Prosel had quite the residence, though it wasn''t like Darth Deragus''s, it was definitely, high class.


    As soon as I entered, Lord Prosel was waiting for me, next to him, I could see a young adult male.


    Ignoring him, Lord Prosel smiled and spoke to me.


    "Shaange, have a seat, I see Aridal isn''t there with you?".


    Taking a seat, I replied, "I wasn''t told he was needed."


    There was silence for a second as it looked that he was thinking and he replied, "You''re right, he isn''t."


    As he said it, on the table, he passed a sheet.


    On it was some information.


    It was the date detailing the Duel of Lord Prosel and Lord Duav, it was originally set in this year, however, due to the events of Darth Ryzar wanting to set a parade and celebration in Kaas City for an entire year, it was delayed to not, next year, but the year after.


    Whilst Darth Ryzar was a new Dark Councilor, he was one with an incredible foundation, he gathered support from Darth Alogio, Darth Vicust, Darth Jac''res and Darth Veral, all of which, other Dark Councilors.


    His wish of setting a parade and celebration, was obviously just a front of time, for Lord Duav to gain more power.


    However, would anyone stop him?


    The duel of Lord Duav and Prosel, to the Dark Council, was seen as only, mere trifles between Lords, and nothing more.


    Though Darth Deragus was one of the more prominent Dark Councilors, his only Apprentice was Lord Duav, he once had more, but they all died at the hands of a Jedi.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Darth Vicust herself had many Dark Lords as her apprentices, Darth Jac''res had the greatest fleet in the entire Empire, and Darth Veral was the head of Imperial Intelligence.


    How did I know this?


    This was on the news and has been on it since Darth Ryzar became the new Dark Councilor.


    More on the sheet was also some surprising statistics, but something else, caught my eye, Lord Duav was said to....


    Definitely be able to defeat Lord Prosel in a duel!


    As if Lord Prosel saw me looking at this information, he answered my question, "I am no match for Duav in a duel, though not many know of it, Duav''s armour is made of Cortosis and his cybernetics are made of Phrik.


    His armour alone, I cannot penetrate, and his cybernetics are of the most advanced, even Darth Alogio may not have greater cybernetics.


    With such an advantage, there is only one thing that can help me......"


    Cortosis and Phrik??


    The former could short out lightsabers upon contact, as for the latter?


    It was one of the only things that survived the destruction of Aldeeran when it was blown up by the death star....


    However, even with such advantages, they only protected the body, the one thing that Lord Prosel was speaking about, had to be one thing, and it must have been a relic of some sort.


    Lord Prosel then continued, "It is the Mask of the Ancient Sith Lord, Narva Worso. With it, I will gain the power to absolutely crush Duav...."


    I had never heard of such a name, but there were legends that the Ancient Sith Lords held greater power than the Lords of the present time.


    Wondering as I was, Lord Prosel then continued to speak, "However...... It is kept by the Jedi Master Ferysay Dan, who is one of the Heads of the Green Jedi on Corellia."


    -_-


    I didn''t know who Ferysay Dan was, but hearing he was one of the head Green Jedi, I knew he was a big deal.


    The Green Jedi from my memory was a reclusive sect, they were in SWTOR, and they had quite different ideas to normal Jedi.


    Though it wasn''t in SWTOR, I knew that Green Jedi could marry and long legacies of Jedi families weren''t strange, in a way, they were far looser than traditional Jedi ideals, but also far more bearing and harsh than normal Jedi.


    Whereas if I lost to a Jedi in a fight, I might go to prison or die as the Jedi''s hand was forced, if it was a Green Jedi, I may ''accidentally die".


    But, I wondered why he was telling me this, then Lord Prosel continued once more, "I originally was going to defeat Duav with a cybernetic disruptor, but it is experimental, and I am not sure if it would, but at the very least, it would weaken him quite significantly.


    But, even so, the Force can overcome such weaknesses..... However, now with Darth Ryzar''s ascension to the Council and his celebration for an entire Year, my Master was able to delay the duel for another year."


    I then decided to stop him and ask, "But what does this have to do with the Mask?".


    He quickly replied, "Within these two years, I am sure, that I can take the Mask!


    But, I will need your help!".


    I was surprised, I wondered what he needed my help for, surely he himself could''ve done it?


    Lord Prosel, then walked to another table, and a hologram popped up.


    I wasn''t sure who it was, but it was a Jedi, and information about him popped up.


    He then continued, "This is a rogue Green Jedi, he left the Order twenty years ago, and since then, I have been conversing with him, you alone of any Sith I have met, are different..."


    He must''ve been speaking of how I acted, and then he continued.


    "The rogue Green Jedi and I have both enacted a plan, he would once again, enter the Order, and in six months, he would recommend a new member, that he "found".


    I immediately understood what he was on about, my presence in the Force, unlike most Sith, was a candle, or a speck of the light.


    I took this chance to speak, "Then you mean for me to go undercover?".


    Lord Prosel hearing this, replied, "Indeed...."


    No matter what anyone else said, I was undoubtedly the best candidate for an undercover agent in the entire Sith Empire, apparently, perhaps, there might be Children of the Empire, but I myself wasn''t sure of their status right now, and even Darth Deragus may not know of their existence yet.


    Taking a deep breath, I then asked, "When will it begin?".


    Lord Prosel replied, "Six months, for six months, the rogue Jedi Knight, Maso Tin, will once more gain the trust of the Order, and he will induct you, then, you have a year to report back to me".


    Six months, I suppose I''m staying here for quite some time....


    Third Person


    After about an hour or more explaining, Shaange took his leave, and Lord Prosel looked to the young adult male and spoke, "What do you think? Child of......


    The young adult male replied, "Strange.... I feel that he is different as if he has a trace of someone familiar....."


    For a second, the young adult male was in a daze remembering Shaange, but immediately he broke out of it and continued, "Gah! Nonsense... Why are you sending him to Corellia? Haven''t I promised you that with the disruptor, you are more than capable of defeating Duav?".


    Lord Prosel hearing this, replied, "Just for extra assurance...."


    The young adult male hearing this wondered for a moment, but continued on, "And if you can''t control the Mask?".


    Lord Prosel didn''t respond, but the grin on his face was an answer enough.


    In another area of Dromund Kaas, there was an old man, training a young woman.


    The old man had a deformed head, and the young woman bore a resemblance to the old man, however, she, bore a resemblance to Shaange, which could be considered as twins.


    As they were twins!


    But, there were some notable differences, the young woman seemed to have stood straighter and had a much rougher face.


    Additionally, Shaange''s facial structure was a bit different but still distinguishable as twins.


    The old man and young woman were currently sparring against each other, and the old man was obviously, Lord Zavan, then the young woman was Shaange''s younger sister.


    As the two fought, Shaange''s younger sister began to take the upper hand, however, a miss from her, resulted in Lord Zavan taking his chance and disarming her.


    Lord Zavan looking at her, yelled, "Alsash, you were to slow, not all the Jedi you fought will be like Kyba Zu, he was simply to focused on attacking and not at all on defence".


    As Lord Zavan left the room, Alsash took a breather and wondered, how her brother was, in truth, not even Lord Zavan knew what happened, the past few weeks, as he was under Sith meditation for training Alsash, and nobody bothered to alert him and Shaange wasn''t that famous enough to be known in Dromund Kaas by face.


    Though the incident on Tatooine brought him to greater publicity, the agreement by Darth Alogio and Darth Deragus had the most publicity and it was watched by virtually all in the Empire that could watch.


    Anything else was considered only the trifles of the "lower'' Sith.


    In another area, Darth Alogio was on her ship, still recounting her Father''s messages, Lord Duav also there, was formulating a new plan.


    Back at Tatooine, Moff Yeron wondered what to do, the Planetary Governor was a big responsibility, but he knew it was something he had to do.


    Elsewhere on Tatooine, the Mirakulan was meditating on the Force, feeling a strange relieving presence of the light, as if one became, one with the Force.


    And, back on Dromund Kaas, there was a young adult that looked similar to Alsash, this was Shaange, he was entering his old home, just as Lord Zavan left Alsash''s training room......

 Alsash (II) Dromund Kaas

    Entering my old home, I reminisced the past.


    Nostalgic memories came from my instructors and teachers.


    Though they were faint, they were still memorable.


    Once again, I didn''t know much of my father or mother, simply, more training and learning.


    The propaganda news tried to brainwash me, but in a way, I''m already brainwashed by the news of my old life.


    As I walk up when Imperial soldiers were in the way, I Force persuaded them to ignore me.


    This of course, only worked on those with weak minds, as I got up.


    I saw an Officer, that managed to somewhat resist the Force persuasion, I had to change the order.


    I ordered him as a Sith and used Force persuasion for him to ignore me, the reason he resisted my Force persuasion was likely my identity, then if I revealed I was Sith, there was nothing left for him to resist.


    Of course, if I did reveal my identity as a Sith, it would be likely that I could be traced back.


    When I Force persuaded the Imperial soldiers, they simply saw me, and I Force persuaded them, if they were to interrogated, they would only remember a man with strange armour giving them an order.


    It would give me at least some coverage if I got caught and something unfortunate happened on.


    My old home was quite tall, though it was by no means the tallest, it was taller than Lord Frezan''s tower.


    Remembering him as well, I recalled the lightsaber hilts, I still had them, they were currently on the ship, as was, my baton........


    As I continued to walk, I eventually found an elevator, and I pressed it to the top floor.


    The tower was about a few storeys tall, eight in total, excluding the basement level at the very bottom.


    Though it was only eight storeys tall, the height between each floor was quite big, in my old world, this tower would be the same height as a fourteen-storey tall apartment.


    Especially the top, which didn''t have a cover, as it was a personal ship station for my grandfather, or at least what it said on the wall.


    Floor one to five was simply full of relics, items and things for the soldiers and officers.


    Floorsix was a massive training room, floor seven was the residence of Alsash, my sister, floor eight was the residence and space station of Lord Zavan.


    There wasn''t any information on the basement, but from my past of living here, I knew it was where my grandfather tortured his enemies.


    Eventually, I made it to the sixth floor, as soon as I did, I went to see the training room.


    Apparently, my sister was training there right now.


    I haven''t seen her since our birth, we were twins, but secretly, I gently chiselled my face to change what I looked like, why did I do this?


    To try and hide my identity as Lord Zavan''s grandson, Lord Zavan had undoubtedly made manyenemies, and honestly, I kind of regret not going directly under Lord Prosel at Korriban.


    However, though I gently chiselled my face, if you took a photo at any side, I would look virtually the same.....Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    It''s unfortunate my grandfather doesn''t wear a mask or helmet, unlikesome Sith.


    As I was in the training room, I began to inspect everything, it was true that I trained here with my instructors and learnt here, but most of the time, the majority of the space was used by my sister or my grandfather, greatly limiting myself to use it.


    I simply hope that when I do see my sister, that she has yet to fully turn to the dark side.


    But, anyway, eventually, in the distance, I could see a young woman, she bore a great resemblance to my grandfather, and more importantly me!


    She had to be my sister!


    Who else could it be?


    Walking there slowly, I was quite ecstatic, she looked tired, but not the point of death, it was likely that she had a spar just then.


    Taking a glimpse into her eyes, they were blue, not bright or dark, simply blue, meaning she had yet to be turned to the dark side!


    However, at the same time, she looked into mine and saw me.


    Looking at me, she immediately jumped, and I could hear, "Who are you? An instructor sent by my Grandfather?".


    I was silent, as she jumped up, she picked up her lightsaber and looked dead at me.


    I replied, "Don''t you remember me?".


    Wait no, stupid me, of course, she----


    She then leapt forwards me, I easily dodged, her attacks were very violent, and lacking elegance...


    Now I''m sounding like Dooku....


    Each attack was very easy to dodge, this wasn''t the Force, it was simply how "childish" her movements were.


    Too easy to predict, but I knew that just a single hit, could likely kill me, if not cripple me.


    But, in comparison to Jalekyle''s attacks, they were unbalanced, in comparison to Jalekyle''s speed, they were slow.


    My armour looked as if it would somewhat delay me from moving a lot, it only seemed like that.


    It wasn''t a full chest plate, but rather, two divided pieces.


    Originally it was a full chest plate, but I had to make some "minor" changes.


    Easily dodging every attack, my sister was becoming very tired, I made simple steps, and wondered how she defeated the Jedi Knight.


    Perhaps Lord Zavan had a role? Who knows, but anyway, it was likely that she was only losing, as she was already tired.


    After a few minutes, I disarmed my sister, and threw her lightsaber, at this time, she began a fury of Force lightning, though thankfully, I dodged it quite easily.


    I then slowly Force pushed her to the floor gently, looking at her, I decided to wait for her to awake.


    After a few minutes, I got bored easily, and I went onto the explore the rest of the tower, I knew that she would be safe, as it would be likely impossible for anyone to enter.


    A Sith Assasin?


    Maybe they might be able to, but if they were a Sith Assasin, then even if my sister was at full power, I doubt that she could defeat one.


    I entered the tower as well due to my security codes, anything after that, I simply Force persuaded.


    I decided to enter the seventh floor, I couldn''t enter the eight as it was restricted by a key card only my grandfather had.


    After staying there for a bit, I got bored, as there were special locks, that I had no idea to unlock.....


    I returned to the sixth floor, and as I did, I could see several soldiers helping my sister up.


    Eventually, my sister saw me and yelled out, "Guards! Kill that man!".


    Oh for---


    They immediately shouted out, "Surrender now".


    Surrender? You''d kill me then!


    Immediately, I ran away, and after a few seconds, there was the sound of alarms everywhere....


    No, no, no, no.


    Immediately going to the elevator, there were some Imperial soldiers already there.....


    Not just that, the elevator was quite big, and as they left the elevator, at the back was a man with a deformed face and sickening aura, it was my grandfather.......


    Third Person


    As Shaange Force pushed his Alsash to the ground slowly and gently, Lord Zavan seeing it through a camera was quite interested.


    He had some ideas if who this was.


    Perhaps it was an enemy?


    For the past few years, he was constantly meditating, if not training Alsash.


    He was also not given much information about Shaange, this was as, Zavan was considered a weak Sith Lord, many Sith also had the idea that Darth Norgiov was unworthy of the Darth title.


    In the past when Darth Asla died with her Left Hand, Lord Yerzan, Norgiov snatched the title of Darth, by claiming it was his right by ascension to the next.


    The Right Hand of Darth Asla was at that time, the younger brother of Lord Yerzan and serving as his Apprentice, Gi Jen.


    He was groomed to become the Successor of Darth Asla, but one day, when the three of them were ambushed by the Republic, only Gi Jen survived, and hid for a few a years, to later try and take the title of Darth back....


    As Lord of the Sith, he took a new name and swore vengeance.


    Due to this, many Sith knowing the strength of this new Lord didn''t foster relationships with Zavan, seeing him only as a dead man, and perhaps a test for their own Apprentices.


    Due to this, Lord Zavan hadn''t many acquaintances, leading to him having a weak power base, and when the news of his grandchildren came to his ears, he was ecstatic and immediately began training for the two of them.

 Alsash (III) Dromund Kaas

    Surrounded, albeit not completely, I looked to those around me.


    The Imperial soldiers were ready to shoot and I slowly moved back, igniting my lightsaber, I was ready to block.


    As long they didn''t get to the side or back of me, I was confident, that I would be fairly safe.


    Lord Zavan looked at me with some interest, he walked forward and as he did, he shouted, "Everyone, but Alsash leave!".


    Immediately all the Imperial soldiers began to leave, either through the elevator, stairs, or other means.


    After a few moments, as the last Imperial soldier left, Lord Zavan ignited his own lightsaber.


    As Lord Zavan continued to walk closer, Alsash herself ignited her own lightsaber and spoke as if to disparage me, "Master, I can handle him alone!".


    Lord Zavan hearing this, stopped walking, and look to Alsash before refuting her, "No, you''ve already lost to him, you won''t win this time."


    She seemed discontent, but I would be as well, I guess.


    Lord Zavan took out his second lightsaber, and they both seemed to be matching pairs.


    We looked at each other, and there was an awkward silence throughout the sixth floor.


    As Alsash quickly moved away from us both, Lord Zavan ran towards me, clearly wanting to end the fight quickly.


    Fortunately, I was able to dodge it, but the next attack, I had to block.


    Blocking wasn''t easy, I just managed to block it, and I could feel myself being pushed down.


    I moved the lightsaber a bit to slip out.


    I tried to strike him under, but it was met with a block.


    Trying to attack more viciously, I found myself leaving several holes of opportunity, which almost got me killed.


    Seeing how I failed, I decided to go on fully defensive.


    Each attack he did, I was able to block, though he was getting tired, due to his age, I was getting tired even quicker, as I wasn''t in my physical prime yet.


    Attempt to twist and hit him, he blocked it once more, none of us was capable of getting a hit on each other.


    But, I was clearly losing this fight.


    Trying to hit sideways, I felt that I finally made some progress.


    However, this was only due to Lord Zavan using one lightsaber to block and using the other one to try and cut me.


    Quickly ducking, I was a hair away from losing my head.


    Going vertically up, rather than a block, Lord Zavan was using the Force itself to keep me down, however, at the same time, he seemed to be concentrating too much to attack.


    Even under the pressure of being Force pushed to the ground itself, I was able to slowly move my legs, then, I tried to spread Lord Zavan''s legs and makehim fall.


    Mustering all the strength I could, I managed to move him slightly, Lord Zavan then moved back, likely as he knew what I was going to do next.


    There was some distance between us, and suddenly, Alsash came from behind, trying to strike me down.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    I just in time blocked the attack, Lord Zavan seeing this happen, actually Force pushed her away.


    I took this chance to strike him, but alas, lightning surged from his hand.


    Coming onwards on me, I felt myself being electrocuted.


    It was a skill, that I couldn''t use.


    It wasn''t that I didn''t want to use it, I was simply incapable as I wasn''t a Dark Side Practitioner.


    As it continued, I was able to block some of it with my lightsaber, and the rest went into my armour, but I was still being pressured.


    Lightning came on harder and harder, and as it did, I could hear, footsteps running.


    Making a slow turn, I could see, Alsash, trying to strike me down.


    As she ran, I dropped my lightsaber, as my hands grew weak, I looked at her and I didn''t know why, but she looked familiar......


    As I bore the full front of the lightning, as Alsash was able to strike me, I could feel the lightning lessened, Lord Zavan was striking her, I wasn''t sure why, but I felt my blood boil.


    I could hear a loud voice come from Lord Zavan, he clearly spoke with anger.....


    "Alsash! If you never experience loss, then you will never win! Take a good look at your younger Brother!".


    As I heard this, I realized that Lord Zavan despite knowing me, wanted to kill me, I wondered why, but I was wondering another thing.


    Alsash threw herself to Lord Zavan, and attempted to strike him, but failed and was Force pushed and still struck by lightning.


    Lord Zavan''s angry voice once more resonated, "Alsash!!! Feel your anger, the denial of your prize and become stronger!".


    Was I a prize, hahaha......


    I wasn''t sure why, but.......


    From almost on the ground, I stood up.


    I could feel the Lightning surge through my body, Lord Zavan once more used both hands towards me to fry me.


    As if every part of my body was in pain, for some reason, I continued.


    Suddenly my hands were a lit of lightning, not of Lord Zavan''s, but of my own.


    I began to use Force lightning itself as if it was redirected.


    More and more, I tried to use Force lightning, as I did, Lord Zavan seemed to be shocked.


    Both physically and mentally.....


    As much Force lightning as I could, Lord Zavan was being quickly electrocuted, rather than just my own Force lightning, this was his own as well, combined and deflected.


    But, as I did, I felt a tug on my foot.


    I immediately moved my hand there and blinded by anger, I struck the lightning down.


    Ignoring what was there, I kept on using one hand for both to the ground and Lord Zavan.


    Anger grew greater and greater, I laughed, and I felt the Dark Side go over me.


    The tug on my foot became even greater.


    Before even knowing it, I used both hands to Force lightning what was tugging me.


    To what I saw was my own sister, Alsash.


    I stopped and calmed....


    And as I did, Lord Zavan shouted, he was enraged.


    Knowing what might happen, I used whatever of Force lightning I still had, and I picked up Alsash, and I took her away, as Lord Zavan fell to the floor.


    Third Person


    As Shaange and Lord Zavan fought.


    Lord Zavan frequently barraged against Shaange, as Lord Zavan was stronger, Shaange was being heavily pressured.


    Lord Zavan was by no means young, he was very old.


    Over a century and a half, whilst the Force made his mind ever vibrant and energetic, his body was simply incapable of keeping up.


    Due to this, Lord Zavan went through countless rituals, medical procedures and organ replacements, but this merely made him weaker, as he aged.


    Lord Zavan at his physical prime, under Darth Norgiov, was at the age of twenty to forty, during then, he could be described as twice as strong, in the Force alone.


    Losing his strength due to age, Lord Zavan went to cybernetics as well, though this again, merely delayed the inevitable.


    However, the rituals allowed for him to become stronger in the ways of the Force, and the Force Lightning he once couldn''t project was projected, however only to be deflected back.


    Little of it was, Shaange''s own Force Lightning, rather, most of it was Lord Zavan''s.


    He could feel his own Lightning obliterate him, intense hatred rose from him.


    Desiring to show Alsash the power of the Dark Side by killing her brother, whom he deemed to be weaker, he was somehow being defeated.


    Alsash always refused to fully turn to the Dark Side, something that worried him, he had full knowledge that he would die naturally very soon, and with this current punishment on him, he would likely have less than a year, due to this, he so desperately desired a successor even more now.


    After all, a Master without an Apprentice was a Master of nothing.


    And as Shaange struck Lightning to Alsash, Lord Zavan took the chance to try and attack.


    Shouting, he was to throw his lightsaber, however as he did, a flurry of lightning came unto him.


    As he fell, the last traces of lightning disappeared into the air.


    This time the lightning wasn''t blue or white, but rather, yellow and greenish.......

 Dav Samo (I) Dromund Kaas

    Third Person (Five Minutes after)


    As Shaange quickly left the tower with Alsash, Lord Zavan was on the brink of death.


    He would''ve been dead by now, if not for Shaange relucting at the last second.


    Crawling to a small Holo Interval he had in his pockets, it was a miracle, it still seemed to work.


    As he put on the Holo Interval, Darth Norgiov was on the other side, looking at Lord Zavan''s scarred body.


    There was a great surprise on his face, he remained silent as he knew that Lord Zavan would likely tell him did such a thing.


    Lord Zavan lying on the floor, and using his last breath spoke, "Master, Shaange, has grown quicker than we expected......"


    Then, Lord Zavan''s presence in the Force disappeared, or in layman''s terms, he was now dead.


    Lord Zavan could''ve survived a bit longer, but he knew that doing so, would result in him living a few more seconds in pain, there were no medical staff or Bacta tanks close enough to heal him.


    He simply decided to let go after telling his Master of what happened.


    Darth Norgiov on the other side was speechless.


    Putting off the Holo Interval, he in his anger, ignited his lightsaber and hit anywhere he could.


    He was already angered due to Inquisitor Vern losing, what he needed, but that was a minor inconvenience in comparison to losing Lord Zavan.


    Despite, Lord Zavan being seen as weak, it changed a bit as Lord Frezan was apparently killed by him, however, most Sith Lords knew that Darth Norgiov played an enormous role.


    Still, Darth Norgiov was a Sith without any Apprentices or Sith under him now, he realized that if Lord Zavan was killed by Shaange than Alsash would likely be killed as well.


    He would now have to take a visit to Korriban to get another Apprentice, and this was truly annoying for someone like him.


    Every day, he came close to death, he was after all, quite older than Lord Zavan,


    At the same time, at the Jungles of Dromund Kaas, there was an Imperial recruit, frozen at the sight of a body flowing down on a river, near to a stream.


    First Person (Before 5 Minutes After)


    Leaving, I took Alsash with me, as I left, I began to quickly run.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    As I did, I somehow managed to come to the Riverfall Wilds and West of Initiate''s Path.


    It wasn''t that I remembered the geographical position, but thankfully, there were signs.


    How did I get here?


    Well, I somehow got here as I ran as quick as I could, and I probably did so to much, it was in the fear that the Imperial soldiers would get to me, but surprisingly, I didn''t see a single one as I left, nor as I ran.


    Looking around, there quite a few beasts.


    Yozusks, gundarks, sleens, vine cats and lightning pylons.


    Sleens weren''t that dangerous to me, so I wasn''t concerned, yozusksweren''t a big problem so I was confident in killing them easily, I was a bit concerned however of vine cats and gundarks.


    Fortunately, however, there weren''t any gundarks were I was, however, there was a vine cat family, alone, I would likely be able to kill them quite easily.


    But with Alsash fainted with me, that would be a bit harder....


    As I began to walk away from it, I could hear a loud noise.


    It was a gundark....


    Well, not just one, but a few.


    The gundarks and vine cats were looking at each other, and they immediately began to back off, but within moments as I slowly crept away, they began running at each other.


    As I did, for a strange reason, an adult vine cat looked at me and tried to attack me, I wondered why it would do so.


    I had yet to kill one of it''s young, I didn''t even smell like a gundark, but it simply went after me.


    Taking out my lightsaber and holding Alsash with another hand, I easily slew it, but as I did, several others vine catslooked at me with bright red eyes.


    As if they were under some sort of trance or spell, they ran towards me!


    Beginning to run, I actually quite easily outran them, of course, that was just what I thought.


    As I leapt on an edge, a vine cat actually seemed to have grabbed my leg.


    It was at that point, I accidentally threw, my sister down a stream.....


    Third Person


    To where Shaange was pulled by a vine cat, there was now an area full of corpses, twenty vine cats dead, and the gundarks had long since run away.


    Shaange had blood on his armour, it was impossible to not have it there, as when he was pulled back, he immediately attacked back, realizing that if he didn''t the vine cats may follow him.


    Within just a minute, he slew twenty in total, the gundarks seeing this, despite having no sentience, ran away, as if they knew that they would be no match.


    He took a deep breath, and he could feel that through the Force, that his sister was still alive and safe, he then began to try and look for her.


    In another area of Dromund Kaas, there was a Sith Scientist, he was Lord Ral''a, a few quiet Sith, he was currently beingpraised by another Sith, Lord Jesha.


    Lord Jesha words were sweet and full of praise, "Lord Ral''a, with these....... medicines, we can use vine cats and gundarks as weapons! My Master, Darth Terrash willreward you greatly, if you tell us the secret!".


    Lord Jesha''s Master was Darth Terrash, who he himself was the apprentice of Darth Vicust, a Seat of the Dark Council.


    Lord Ral''a hearing this, simply refused, "My apologies, but I can''t share the secret..."


    At the same time, there was an Imperial recruit, frozen at the sight of a body flowing down a river.


    It was, of course, Alsash that was flowing down, to the Imperial recruit, who saw her, it was as if she was an angel.


    Though Alsash wore the clothing of a Sith, it wasn''t like most Sith, and seeing her, the Imperial recruit simply thought her to be a daughter of an importantfamily.


    Imperial Recruit Perspective


    Today, I found an angel!


    She was falling down a stream, and I got her just before she fell, if my name wasn''t Dav Samo, I wouldn''t be doing it!


    Looking at her, she''s so beautiful!


    It''s just everything about her......


    Third Person


    As Dav Samo was constantly complementing the sleeping body of Alsash, Shaange was looking for her near a stream, as he then saw Alsash''s lightsabers under water.


    "Oh for------"

 Dav Samo (II) Dromund Kaas

    Third Person


    "Bounty hunters, this is Moff Samo, I require you to cripple him."


    The words were loud and clear, they came from a man who wore the clothing of a General.


    "A Moff? Isn''t this a bit risky for both us and you?".


    Speculation came from the Bounty hunters, after all, killing a Moff was easier said than done.


    "Worry not, you don''t need to directly kill him, he has a son, go and kill him."


    As the General finished the sentence, the Bounty hunters understanding what they had to do, all left.


    They had full knowledge on the background of Dav Samo, except for some truly restricted things, that only the Minister of War or Dark Councilors themselves could access.


    First person (Shaange)


    Picking up my sister''s lightsabers, I began to look for her again.


    Looking everywhere I could near, I feared that she fell down the stream and continued on.


    Whilst there were fewer beasts here, it didn''t mean that there weren''t any here.


    As I couldn''t see her body anywhere close, and knowing that the closest Imperial Outpost was at least a few hundred metres away, I decided to go down the stream.


    Carefully going down, I felt better as I saw that the stream ended to a small river, and there was no blood nearby.


    As I began to explore the small river, I couldn''t smell any blood either, though I was still a bit worried.


    I began to calm down.


    Reaching out to the Force, I could faintly sense her presence, and she was still fine.


    Taking out a small Holoprojector, Tarvis appeared.


    "My Lord?". His voice was a calming presence, and I asked him, "Tarvis, get me information on all the Imperial Outposts within ten kilometres and ask them if they have seen a black-clothed lady that went down a stream".


    "My Lord, there are about ten bases within ten kilometres, seven of them, however, outstretchoutside the ten-kilometre range, and I will immediately ask them now".


    The Holoprojector was then put off, and I decided to wait and keep looking.


    Third Person


    "Arrrghh, where is he? If I don''t find him soon then I''ll....."


    "Captain! Our communications have been sliced and, there are Bounty hunters outside?".


    "WHAT, why are their Bounty hunters!!".


    The Captain was, Eso Sar, coming from a normal Imperial Family, he made a sudden breakthrough in his career when he managed to kill a Jedi Padawan with a blaster.


    He was subsequently awarded theBadge of Merit, and he had a smooth transition to Captain, and would likely become a Colonel by his senior age.


    However, he was asked by, Moff Samo to take care of his son, and was guaranteed the position of Colonel as long as he was able to find a reason to promote his son to Seargarent by the end of the mission.


    He obviously accepted, all he had to do was stay at an Outpost that was quite small in size and just inside the ten-kilometre range of Shaange, but now, Bounty hunters had arrived.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    Going to see them, he could see that they left from the outside of an Imperial tank, this tank was only one that a Colonel could use, but obviously, it was from a Moff or General.


    A Colonel wouldn''t lend their Imperial tank to simple Bounty hunters, the chance of them losing, though wasn''t high, the mere thought of losing it, prevented them to lend it to others.


    It was indubitably better than Jalekyle''s tank, several times bigger, it was an experimental tank, even most Generals and Moffs didn''t have such a tank, rather they would use such funds to for their Starships.


    Looking at the Bounty hunters, he began to ask questions, in a passive-aggressive voice.


    "This is Imperial Territory! Even if you are Bounty hunters, there are limits!".


    Scoffing, one of the Bounty hunters replied, "We need, the one called, Private Dav Samo, give him to us immediately, and we don''t need any trouble".


    Hearing this, Captain Sar knew what was happening, it was obvious that an enemy of Moff Samo wished to kill the Moff''s son, how more obvious could it be?


    Captain Sar hearing this decided to try and lie to them. "We do not have a Private Dav Samo at this outpost".


    However, at the same time, a voice could be heard, "Captain, I''m back!".


    A young boy could be seen on a speeder, with a young girl close behind her.


    The Bounty hunters took one look, and instantly they knew, that this was the boy they were looking for, as for the girl, they simply ignored her.


    The Captain sighed and took out his gun and as he did, Imperial soldiers came to help him.


    First Person (Shaange)


    As I continued to look, I eventually received another call from Tarvis, "My Lord, one of the Outposts have just lost their connection with us, I believe something has happened, this may be related to the lady you are looking for".


    Hearing this, I kind of doubted it, but watching all those movies, I realized this might be a trip and after some moments, I replied to Tarvis.


    "Get all the information you can on that Outpost and factor in all the events that might be happening!".


    "Yes, My Lord".


    The Holoprojector once more turned off, and I wondered if they truly were connected, but I wanted to be sure.


    As this was happening, I once more tried to connect with my sister, I could feel that she was safe, but nothing more than that.


    Third Person


    As Tarvis was researching all he could, Aridal was restless, nothing to do, though he was asked by Shaange to train in lightsaber combat, he couldn''t be bothered.


    He was forbidden to watch Empire television, as it was obviously propaganda, he constantly played Starship simulation games, he, however, did also look at the Holocron of Ha''ya Dav.


    Whilst Shaange never looked that deeply at the Holocron, it was the only thing that Aridal did, as well as playing simulation games.


    He noticed a strange pattern, the Soresu was full of openings, but never exploited.


    While this was happening, elsewhere on Dromund Kaas, there was an uproar.


    There were rumours of Lord Zavan slain by Shaange, but these were only rumours.


    But, as, Sith Lords could find themselves unable to feel even a lingering presence of Zavan and Darth Norgiov arriving at Korriban, they all realized something.


    It was true!


    Darth Norgiov didn''t deny it, Lord Zavan''s troop definitely comprised of at least one or two soldiers that were secretly spying on him and under other Lords.


    If he tried to deny it, it would be useless, he simply just wanted to choose an apprentice from Korriban.


    Everyone hearing this were all surprised, though Lord Zavan was one of the weaker Sith Lords, he still somehow managed to kill Lord Frezan.


    But most of all, they wished to know how Lord Zavan lived for so long.


    Some Sith could live for centuries on account of their immense Force power or rituals, Lord Zavan was obviously the latter, and many Sith wished to know the secret of Lord Zavan.


    However, Lord Prosel immediately, stated that Shaange was one of his allies and ordered his apprentice to contact Shaange.


    However, Shaange had blocked all contacts except for Tarvis and Aridal, as he didn''t want to be called by just anybody.


    Meanwhile, Darth Deragus was wondering what to do, Shaange''s skill was evident if he could truly kill Zavan.


    The position of Sith Lord could be granted, but Darth Deragus was thinking, remarking to himself, as well of the Darth position left by Darth Verash.


    It was more than just a Darth position, if he so wished to, he could grant Lord Duav and Prosel easily the position of Darth, however, those two were always enemies, and the victory of another would show the real victor and a true Darth.


    Darth Deragus then opened up a Holo-Link and spoke to, Darth Eregis, an elderly Sith Pureblood, "Eregis......"


    First Person


    I was pretty bored, still waiting for a reply, I wondered what Aridal was doing.


    But, I didn''t want to call him.


    Then, I opened my sister''s lightsaber, looking at the kyber crystal, it was bled red, however, it seemed different...


    Compared to mine which was still the same as the Sith Warrior, this kyber crystal was as if it wasn''t as sad or in deep pain.


    As if I could feel them, I felt reluctance, wait.


    Did I have a strange talent for the feeling emotion of the kyber crystals?


    As if it was telling me to go to my sister, I followed it...

 Dav Samo (III) Dromund Kaas

    Third Person


    Though Imperial soldiers arrived at Captain Sar, the Bounty hunters decided to simply just immediately shoot.


    Anything that happened here, would simply be covered up by the General.


    Oh, the Outpost was attacked by vine cats and the General sent Bounty hunters to save them, however, they couldn''t.


    There were as many excuses as one could make up.


    As the Captain and his soldiers attacked the Bounty hunters, the latter was absolutely crushing the former.


    Whilst the Imperial soldiers were well trained, the Bounty hunters had by far better technology, and they themselves were trained in the hardest terrains.


    They easily killed the Imperial soldiers, the Captain seeing this, ordered for an all-out retreat into inside.


    Samo Dav and Alsash were already inside, and the Bounty hunters for a second stopped.


    As the Bounty hunters entered, the Captain took a good look at them.


    Realizing that the apparent leader was a Mandalorian.


    He challenged him, "Mandalorian, I challenge you, for Samo Dav!".


    Samo Dav unknowing of what happened, hearing this, was quite confused.


    The apparent leader hearing this scoffed at such an idea.


    "I am the Leader, but I am no Mandalorian, this armour was torn from the body of Slo Par."


    The Captain hearing this was shaken.


    He didn''t know who Slo Par was, but to remember the name of their enemy, perhaps he was notable?


    "But, I will entertain you".


    The Bounty hunter came down and began to fight against the Captain.


    The Captain had gloves of durasteel, this was his signature weapon when he fought against the Padawan.


    For years, he didn''t wear them, but today he did.


    The two then began to fight, hand to hand. (Mano e'' mano)


    Surprising the Imperial soldiers, Sav Damo and the Bounty hunters, Captain Sar was a far better fighter than they allthought!


    What they fought to be a one-sided battle on the Bounty hunter''s side, turned out to be a victory for the Captain.


    The Bounty hunter realizing he lost, then commanded, "Shoot!".


    The Bounty hunters then began to shoot, the Captain seeing this, tried to hit the leader and use him as a shield, but the leader simply flew away.


    As the sound of shooting could be heard, a large sound as if one hit the wall could be heard.


    A fierce face, and strange aura, everyone looking at him, could feel something, that wasn''t there.


    The Bounty hunters felt fear, and more did so, the Imperial soldiers.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    Looking at everyone, as if he didn''t care, he simply moved on, and as he did, the Bounty hunters realizing that this a Sith.


    They had two chances.


    They could try to kill him and then cover it up as well, though the chance of killing him was low, the chance of covering it up was a bit higher, but there was a risk of him telling others if they didn''t.


    The second was to let him go, but who knew if he would inform others?


    They then decided to ask.....


    First Person (Shaange)


    Tarvis called me earlier and told me some stuff about Moff Samo, and his son apparently is here, but other than that, there was nothing really noteworthy.


    Well, the Captain did have a Badge of Merit or something, but regardless, I decided to go and check on the Outpost.


    Surprisingly, the kyber crystal was actually also bringing me here.


    Was this coincidence?


    Well, it didn''t matter to me.


    I began to run as quickly as I could, while I couldn''t Force-run like Obi-Wan, I could still run reasonably quick.


    Outrunning most beasts that I saw, though not as quick as a speeder, it worked.


    Adding to my own athletic ability, I got there quite quickly.


    As I did, I entered.


    Strangely there was nobody outside.


    Entering in, there was a large space, and I saw a Captain brutally defeat a Mandalorian.


    I could tell he was a Captain as he wore the same uniform as Tarvis.


    As the Captain beat the Mandalorian, the Mandalorian ordered for the others to attack.


    Seeing this, I wondered why the Mandalorian would do so, after all, they had a code of honour.


    But regardless, I decided to intervene.


    Banging my hand on the wall, everyone looked at me.


    They stopped.


    As they did, I could actually see my sister, being held tight by a young man.


    Curious I went there, and as I did, I could hear the voice coming from above me, it was a Bounty hunter.


    "Sith, we require Dav Samo, we would hope you don''t interfere with our business".


    Hearing this, I replied, "It all depends if that woman that Dav Samo is hugging, will let you".


    Dav Samo, hearing this, looked to me.


    He replied, "What is your relationship with her!".


    He was obviously sheltered, but strangely, my sister began to speak, "Who are you!".


    She seemed afraid of me.


    Amnesia????????


    I didn''t know what happened, but I didn''t even notice that her presence in the Force was changed.


    It was as if she reverted to being a newborn, without the Light or Dark side.


    I didn''t know to say, and as I waited, I asked Dav Samo, "Tell me where did you find her!".


    He was a bit frightened and he somewhat jumped back, and before he could reply, my sister began to speak again.


    "Please don''t! I won''t let anyone touch him!".


    Speechless, I then looked at the Bounty hunters.


    "There is your answer! Now leave us!".


    The Mandalorian hearing this, screamed out, "Attack!".


    However, none of them attacked, the Mandalorian looking at his allies not attacking, shouted again.


    "Attack! Why aren''t you attacking!".


    The other Bounty hunters, replied as they left.


    "Go fight him yourself"


    "Your own deathwish"


    "We won''t be apart of a suicide mission....."


    The Mandalorian was now by himself, I couldn''t see his face as it was covered by a mask, but I was sure, it would probably be full of hatred.


    Then seeing the others leave, I was fine with him leaving.


    If I could avoid killing someone, I would do so, but at the same time, I knew that he would likely kill others.


    As he left, however, he actually had the gall to shoot a rocket at us!


    I ran towards it and just managed to destroy it just before it got near, my sister.


    Regardless, she became afraid of the explosion that came with me slicing the mini rocket.


    Without even knowing it, I become angry, and I threw the lightsaber to the Mandalorian and it sliced right through him.....


    Third Person


    Shaange wason his ship, it basically worked as his mobile home.


    He was thinking of what happened, the amnesia of his sister was strange.


    Even if she was accidentally thrown onto the floor, she had a strong head.


    Perhaps, it was a repressed personality, that came to light?


    Shaange didn''t know.


    He didn''t know what to do.


    Why did he care for his sister so much?


    It was as his memories of past life came into conflict.


    Did he not die for his sister? He wasn''t afraid to do so again, but this time, he wasn''t required to do so.


    "What do I do?".


    Contemplating, he saw the Holocron, grabbed it and breathed.


    He had six months, during those six months...


    He would definitely become stronger, who knows, with all the Sith Artefacts he knew of.


    There had to be one that restored memory, wouldn''t there be?

 Dav Samo (IV) Dromund Kaas

    Six Months Later


    First Person (Shaange)


    It''s already time for me to go Corellia and go undercover.


    I left my sister with Dav Samo, getting Lord Prosel to keep an eye on them, making sure they have protection, even higher than what a Moff would normally have.


    I trained in Ha''ya Dav''s Soresu, and as I did, I began to learn, how different it was.


    So different.....


    Sparring with Aridal, each block I accomplished was a counterattack.


    When I blocked the lightsaber of Aridal, I would subconsciously twist both our lightsabers, giving me an opportunity to slice him.


    Not just that, as I moved my lightsaber in an attack, it would also at the same time block blaster bolts.


    But, the footwork was even stranger, they were small steps in virtually the same area, but it created a strange movement.


    An illusion as if, similar to how if something went fast enough, it would create an afterimage.


    It was similar to that.


    When I got some training remotes to shoot me, I dodged all the shots, and by looking at it from the video, it seemed as if blaster boltswent right through me.


    Of course, I didn''t do this for the whole six months.


    The first month, I tried to increase my Force powers, but I found myself unable to, but surprisingly I was able to create Electric Judgement.


    Remembering Plo Koon, there was a sense of nostalgia of my old life.


    For the next five months, I trained my Soresu and blindfolded I could dodge a barrage of blaster bolts.


    Knowing that I had to change my gear for my new mission, I changed into something different.


    I asked for the tailors under Lord Prosel to create a robe looking like the Jedi''s robe I took from Balmorra.


    I couldn''t wear the robes of Rasdah or his Padawan, as they were obviously not my fit, thus, I had the tailors create clothing similar to them.


    However, I disliked them heavily.


    It, in my "humble" opinion, looked a bit too ugly.


    Instead, I decided to change it a bit.


    It was a white undershirt, grey robe and brown robe, with slightly loose-fitting pants, soft shoes and a utility belt.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    But, then I realized, it was far too similar to a Jedi''s robe.


    Then I decided, I would just take some civilian clothing......


    Ok, I also took a utility belt...


    But, damn can you fit a lot of things in there.


    But, I only needed about four things in there.


    A Holoprojector, comlink, food and energy capsules.


    Taking those, I left my lightsaber, as there would be no reason to take it.


    Tarvis and Aridal already knew I was leaving, and Lord Prosel himself came to pick me up.


    He did so as to not risk anything.


    As well as that I wore civilian clothing of a Republic Planet...


    But anyway, where he once more spoke of the plan.


    I would go to Corellia and Maso Tin had already rejoined the Order as a Jedi Knight.


    He would originally take me as a Padawan, but Maso Tin refused to as he stated that I was far too old, and most importantly, we might be discovered to quickly.


    The plan was now that I would go against one of the gangs in Corellia and quickly gain the support of the people.


    Then, I would show my power of the Force, and when the Corellian Jedi ask of me, I would reply that I simply used the power to help people and mastered some of it.


    As the Corellian Jedi were far laxer, Maso Tin would then come in and support my story and then induct me as a member, it would be something akin to a service group of the Jedi Order, but it was enough.


    This way, our connection would be minor in the eyes of the Corellian Jedi, and make it harder for us to be discovered.


    But another thing was that Maso Tin actually took on a Padawan, already!


    Apparently, the Corellian Jedi Council wished for Maso Tin to take on a Padawan as they were a bit low on numbers, though this was annoying, Maso Tin had to accept.


    Third Person


    Maso Tin was walking through the streets of Corellia.


    As he walked, there was a sense of admiration on any civilian he walked by.


    Not fear, but respect.


    He was currently visiting the home of his Padawan, who lived with his mother.


    The Corellian Jedi, after all, had a much laxer policy, then the Jedi Council.


    His green robes were evident, and any criminal seeing them immediately ran away.


    The police officers of Corellia seeing him, saluted, and Maso Tin saluted back.


    On Corellia, the Green Jedi were almost as if in a way worshipped, were an aid to the police force and were known for helping them heavily and preventing many disasters.


    On Coruscant, their relations with the public, was virtually the opposite, only on Tython would the Jedi find a likewise relationship with the public for Corellia.


    Maso Tin arriving at his Padawan''s house was in a more poor section of Corellia.


    Whilst the poor section of Corellia couldn''t be compared to the even more poor sections of Coruscant, it wasn''t that far off, but people in Corellia did have it better off, generally.


    He constantly asked for his Padawan to live at the Temple as he did, but the Padawan''s mother simply refused to leave, claiming it as her home, and not leaving until death.


    This was the birthplace of both her and the Padawan''s father after all.


    As Maso Tin went to the house, several people looking at him, had great smiles and faces of gratitude.


    Once there were several criminals that infested this area, however, after Maso Tin''s Padawan came back from Temple after some training, the criminals virtually disappeared.


    As Maso Tin took his Padawan back by dragging him, the neighbouring residences laughed, this was a common thing, and they simply laughed when it happened.


    However, at the same time, Maso Tin could feel his Holoprojector and comlink acting up.


    He decided to use his Holoprojector as he was with his Padawan, there an image of a Jedi wearing green robes appeared.


    This was Jedi Master, Yuz''ar, who was speaking, "All Corellian Jedi within my radius, there has been anattack on one of the Hospitals by the Black Sun Syndicate!".


    Hearing this, both Maso Tin and his Padawan began to move.


    At the same time, walking near the same Hospital was a young man, seeming to be in his early twenties.


    As the Corellian Jedi and police officers saw him, they asked for him to leave, however, the young man, in civilian clothing, continued on.


    Walking on then......

 The Arrival (I) Corellia

    Touching down in Corellia, I felt strange.


    In comparison to the deserts of Tatooine, the dreaded lands of Korriban and the dullness of Dromund Kaas, Corellia was definitely different.


    There were even some trees along the walkways.


    I easily blended with everyone, becoming another face within the crowd.


    Seeing Green Jedi, I wasn''t afraid of getting their interest as I lacked the dark presence of the Force.


    My first job was to find Maso Tin and verify my identity.


    Though we both knew each other face, it would still be better if we verified each other.


    After all, there were many races and technological devices that could cause one to alter their appearance.


    As I walked, I decided to check out the place.


    The air was undeniably fresh, much more than even my old life likely.


    Going to the poorer sections of Corellia, it was though sad, not as terrible as Coruscant.


    Continuing to see, I bought a drink in a store and kept on walking.


    As I did, I saw a large smoke, slowly walking there, I began to see officers and Green Jedi running there.


    I avoided their path in case they wanted me to go away.


    Coming closer, I heard shots of blaster bolts and loud screaming.


    Taking a good look, I was quite surprised.


    It was a hospital, it was bombed and on fire, though not completely destroyed.


    I wanted to do something, but at the same time, I was a bit afraid that my powers would become known.


    Perhaps, I was simply just a coward and afraid of the fire?


    Taking a deep breath, as I came closer, I saw a young man running.


    He was a civilian, but he was doing something I was afraid of.


    Likely he was also my age, but I wasn''t completely sure.


    He probably was my age, maybe a bit younger, older?


    The Corellian Jedi yelled at him telling to leave, but he continued and ran into the hospital.


    As an Officer tried to stop him, the Corellian Jedi simply told him not to.


    During it, I heard one of the Corellian Jedi speaking with an Officer, "No need, that is, Tralos Brenin"


    "Tralos Brenin?? So, that is the case".


    What''s the case?


    Who''s Tralos Brenin??


    Uhh.....


    I''ll have to find out who he is later...


    But anyway, as this happened, the Corellian Jedi and Officers at the same time received a call, "All Officers/Jedi, the Black Sun Syndicate Members have been found at the....."


    They all immediately ran except for a single Corellian Jedi that began to use the Force to help the people there.


    Using it, he began to pull people and objects down.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    But, as the Corellian Jedi was pulling someone down, the entire hospital blew up...


    What the--


    The Corellian Jedi was pushed back onto the floor and looking at the hospital, it was definitely not done due to time.


    Rather, there must have been more explosives.


    Looking, however, it was a miracle that Tralos Brenin survived.


    Crawling outside, he seemed to have shielded someone.


    It was a young girl, I was very much surprised by the bravery of him.


    Someone like me, I would never dare to do so.


    "Haha, I got the last one!".


    Tralos Brenin had tears on him, there was also sweat, it was hard to tell from all the way here.


    There were also people watching, they immediately began to clap.


    The Corellian Jedi then beginning to count, showed a happy expression replying, "That.... is everyone!".


    However, at the same time, suddenly he was shot.


    The Corellian Jedi, of course, wasn''t dead, he was still standing.


    Taking out his lightsaber, I felt someone shove me and before knowing it, there was a gun to my head...


    "What... is happening!".


    Trying to act afraid, I wanted to put on a show.


    It wasn''t easy, but I tried my best.


    Looking to see who held the gun, it was a black sun syndicate member, I could tell my his eccentric costume.


    Eventually, all those around me ran, and there seemed to be other black sun syndicate members, however, they weren''t able to catch them.


    Apparently, I was the only one they could catch.


    The black sun syndicate member began making demands, "Drop the lightsaber Jedi and nobody gets hurt!".


    The Corellian Jedi dropped the lightsaber, shortening out as it fell.


    I sighed, then looked at Tralos Brenin.


    With eyes full of anger towards the black sun syndicate members, maybe he had a tragic backstory and was rescued by the Corellian Jedi?


    "He doesn''t have anything to do with this, let him go!".


    Tralos Brenin was full of fury, he surely didn''t like the black sun syndicate members.


    However, if the black sun syndicate member did actually shoot my head, that would virtually be the end for me.


    No measly Tutaminis would be useless.


    Thank god though, as he let go.


    As I began to run...


    Oh that, #########


    He shot my back and I fell down.


    Though I was still alive, it was better to pretend to be dead.


    "You... You monsters!".


    Man, that Tralos Brenin was determined.


    Though I couldn''t see, I could hear very much well.


    The Corellian Jedi seemed to put his lightsaber back as I heard the lightsaber turning on.


    Hearing the deflection of blaster bolts, I opened my eyes.


    The masterful deflection was impressive, though not as good as my own, as he likely didn''t practice Soresu.


    After all, unlike in the Movie Timeline, where peace was virtually the only thing existent, though it was a Cold War Period between the Sith Empire and the Old Republic.


    The Jedi were indubitably preparing for a war, perhaps even more than when they were fighting the Confederacy of Independent Systems.


    Ah yes, also in this strange Star Wars Galaxy, I might as well mention.


    There was such a thing known as the Aperture Alliance, though it was virtually a much stronger version of the Rift Alliance and comprising of more unknown members, especially not of the Republic.


    It was also what the Confederacy of Independent Systems could have been if it was actually legitimate instead of an organization only created to be destroyed and used at the end.


    Another thing----


    Wait, what the...


    The Corellian Jedi fell as he was shot by a barrage.


    He made quite a noise as he fell down as well.


    It was unlikely that he was dead, as I could still feel him.


    Speaking of that, I tried to sense those around me.


    Doing so, I sensed about three living presences and nothing else.


    Either there was, only one of the black sun syndicate members left or, I simply screwed up.


    Seeing four people walking in front of me, I knew I screwed up.


    Each of them carried a gun, and looking at Tralos Brenin, he was heavily wounded and limping.


    The gun was quite far away from him, it seemed that it was shot from his hand.


    "Tralos Brenin, you''ve been quite a thorn for a long time, far too long."


    A bit cliche?


    "You... Do you know how many innocent lives you have taken? Mother, Father, I''m coming to see you now..."


    Quite deep, oh right...


    It''s time that I at least do something.


    The Corellian Jedi was on the floor and nobody seemed to be near.


    Jumping up quietly, I looked around and saw nobody around except for some bodies on the floor, clearly black sun syndicate members.


    As to avoid noise from walking, I leapt and jumped one of the four black sun syndicate members.


    I twisted his neck very gently.


    My control could be considered, meticulous, actually, well, good at best.


    Then on the floor, but still breathing, I sighed relief as the other three looked at me shocked.


    Proceeding to do the same thing, it was quite easy, their bodies physically weren''t that strong.


    However, one of them actually began to run.


    Running as he panicked, he tried to shoot me.


    But as he was panicking, his aim was absolutely terrible, stormtrooper level.


    Easily dodging every hit, I came closer, however, at that time, Tralos Brenin tackled the running black sun syndicate member.


    As I came closer, Tralos Brenin held up the gun of the tackled black sun syndicate member.


    Then shooting...

 The Arrival (II) Corellia

    Holding the gun, he shot.


    But what he shot wasn''t me.


    It was one of the black sun syndicate members that got back up.


    Ah, I suppose, I need to improve my skills.


    But seriously this is a serious matter.


    Looking back, the black sun syndicate member was dead from that, well, I suppose he asked for that.


    Seeing, Tralos Brenin then try to shoot the one he tackled, I moved my hand in the way.


    "No need to kill him, we can simply send him to jail."


    Sounding carefree, now probably wasn''t the time for that.


    "But, he killed the Jedi!".


    Looking at his eyes, it didn''t seem to be his own vengeance, I couldn''t feel what he was, but the eyes revealed everything.


    "The Corellian Jedi? He''s still alive, don''t worry, but... Goodbye!".


    He looked at me strangely asking, "Goodbye?".


    I then immediately used the Force to propel myself away.


    Right now, I wish I could Force jump or something, alas, I couldn''t.


    Only normal jumping and running enhanced by the Force was all I could do.


    Running away, I yelled out, "Don''t tell anyone about what happened!".


    Ha....


    I should''ve said that earlier, but anyway, it''s a bit too late now.


    As I jumped away, I didn''t go too far.


    Looking around, I saw a Corellian Jedi look at me with a perplexed look.


    I went towards him, and there was an awkward silence.


    This wasn''t the same Corellian Jedi as the one Tralos Brenin thought was dead.


    Looking at him, I simply said, "Now is no time to explain, if you wish to know, then with Tralos Brenin, meet me at..."


    Well, I had to say something.


    I would think of a plan by then, I then went off jumping again.


    Well, this could''ve gone about a hundred times better, but well, I guess, somethings turn out like this.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    I told the Corellian Jedi to meet me at Axial Park with Tralos Brenin tomorrow on the fifteenth hour.


    I didn''t know what to say, I literally made it up the spot.


    A story likewise, I would have to make up...


    Third Person


    As Shaange leapt off.


    The Corellian Jedi was confused, he wondered what happened.


    "Who was that stranger? Was it the Force or cybernetics, and what did it have to do with me? Tralos Brenin..."


    In truth, the Corellian Jedi didn''t see anything that happened, however, he did come across to the scene rather quickly and only saw Shaange running.


    "Ah, there he is."


    Running towards Tralos Brenin and helping his fellow Corellian Jedi, he began to take him back to the Temple.


    There, the wounded Corellian Jedi was now undergoing bacta treatment and Jedi Healing Treatment, in less than a day, the wounded Corellian Jedi would''ve likely fully healed.


    After making sure that he was being healed, the Corellian Jedi that Shaange spoke with, asked Tralos Brenin.


    "Tralos, I was informed of by a civilian that we must see him at..."


    Tralos hearing this began to reply with questions of how the civilian looked.


    "Did he look like... Was he wearing..."


    As they talked, the characters they both explained roughly meshed to create Shaange.


    There were minor differences, which both of them knew were simply, faults of being imperfect, simply like everyone else.


    Tralos after speaking with the Corellian Jedi and having enough, both agreed that they would go.


    Seeing the Tralos off as he left for his home, the Corellian Jedi was having thoughts on what to do.


    Tralos had explained to him what happened.


    If not for him then Tralos and his fellow Corellian Jedi would''ve died, he wouldn''t have had the ability to save them.


    Perhaps if he was lucky, one of them may still have been alive, but he himself would''ve been just a few moments too late.


    Something surprising that he also heard in what Tralos told him was that he survived a bare blaster bolt at the back, but using his wisdom, the Corellian Jedi realized that other than Force abilities, there were plenty of ways to survive a shot to the back.


    As this was only a minor matter, he wasn''t that affected.


    However, he still decided to go to the Temple and ask some guidance from his Master and the wounded Jedi.


    "What do you think I should do, if..."


    Creating a false scenario, the Corellian Jedi asked the wounded one, fresh out of the Bacta Tank, he was surprised to seea brother waiting for him.


    The wounded Jedi sensing the falsehood, but also truth, replied the best way he could.


    "I myself am not sure, but, simply do, as the Force wills".


    Knowing full well that was the answer that he would''ve likely gotten, he left.


    Going to see his Master, who gave the same answer.


    "You have already become a Jedi Knight, I no longer see myself fit to interfere with your progress... Simply, as the Force wills, it will."


    Still, with wonder, he constantly walked around the Temple to think of what to do.


    He was in his late twenties, recently becoming a Jedi Knight, he would''ve normally completely relied on his Master''s advice.


    In a way, he was a copy of his Master, but this was a good thing.


    His Master was incredibly wise and a Seat on the Corellian Jedi Council, by copying him, he became likewise wise and well respected.


    Well proficient in Ataru and with some basic knowledge of Niman, he was a far superior to the wounded Jedi, to where he would''ve likely simply dashed and defeated the black sun syndicate members.


    But, his mind was weak.


    Shaped completely by his Master, but remembering what both his Master and his fellow Jedi said, a day passed, and meeting Tralos at Axial Park.


    He waited to see if, Shaange would come.


    With Tralos he simply waited in one of the more remote areas.


    Though Shaange was specific, they figured that waiting anywhere would be fine.


    Tralos was a well-known face, unique as well, the Corellian Jedi however in a way, camoflagued with all the greenery.


    As they waited for hours, Shaange....


    Didn''t come...

 Maso Tin (I) Corellia

    A day passed, I spent the night in a hotel.


    Though there was television, watching it was a bit boring.


    Ha...


    I suppose even here, I''m a bit bored.


    Leaving, I knew what I had to do.


    My first goal was to find Maso Tin.


    Going through Axial Park, I feel that I had to do something there, but it could wait.


    He knew what I looked like, and I knew what he looked like.


    We did also have each other''s Holoprojector data, however, Maso Tin was apparently under suspicion as he recently rejoined the order.


    <hr>


    "Maso Tin, you have our greatest trust, I as a Seat on the Council grant you..."


    Maso Tin kneeling in front of the entire Council smiling as he heard the compliments further.


    "Your Padawan has shown unprecedented progress, in a mere six months..."


    As this was happening, the Head of the Council gave Maso Tin, a secret nod.


    <hr>


    The Sun was near setting, and as I was going to the home of Maso Tin''s Padawan.


    I decided to detour for a meal, even Force Users had to eat, such as the way of life.


    Unfortunately, I couldn''t meet Maso Tin at his home, due to the fact that he lived in the Temple itself.


    As I finished my meal, leaving the store, the sun had set by then.


    Walking, I admired the greenery.


    Unlike the scorching deserts of Korriban and Tatooine, or the clouded sun or Dromund Kaas, everything here was so bright.


    I''d have to say that Corellia was probably more environmentally friendly than my old world.


    Eventually, I made it to the slums, where Maso Tin''s Padawan lived.


    From the information, I got there were virtually no thugs here.


    The name of Maso Tin''s Padawan was enough to scare them away.


    Seeing the slums, I felt strange.


    A profound impact of some sorts.


    Though I wasn''t born in this life or my previous, I still felt changed.


    Checking my clock, it said that in about an hour or two, Maso Tin''s Padawan, with or without him would normally come here.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    Waiting, I went to a nearby bench and waited.


    Ok, it has been about three hours, and I''ve just been on my, phone?


    What''s this thing called?


    Regardless, I''ve been looking, and nobody has arrived.


    I came close and quickly moved to see if there was anybody there.


    Surprisingly, there was nobody there, perhaps, today was a special event?


    Must be, I suppose, something must have happened.


    <hr>


    As Maso Tin had just left the Council Room, he was highly regarded by the Council, some even thought of directly elevating him to a Master, his skill of Makashi was said to be of such high skill that he could deflect blaster bolts, despite it being used mainly to only confront duelists.


    Nobody knew where he had gone for all those years, the Head Councilorwas encouraging, yet disapproving of Maso.


    The other Councilors were, however, all very supportive, in times of a direct war, Jedi were needed and Maso Tin''s Padawan showed excellence, in all aspects of a Jedi Knight.


    Some thought to elevate Maso Tin''s Padawan to Jedi Knight, as they saw that it was fit.


    Though some were initially afraid and wary, Maso Tin exhibited a calm presence, even allowing for himself to be personally inspected by the Council to see if he was a spy for anyone.


    With the Council unable to find any wrongdoings and seeing impressive capabilities coming from Maso Tin were joyous, the Head Councillor, however, disapproved and stating that Maso Tin needed to be present more or have his Padawan become a Knight.


    Additionally, the Head Councilor disapproved of Maso Tin''s Padawan becoming a Jedi Knight, seeing him as a bit too young, and stating that one more test was needed.


    <hr>


    Walking back, I felt like going to Axial Park, something in me, told me that I forgot to do something.


    However, as I went near there, I was dissuaded seeing all those people there, it appears that I did forget something.


    Was this the thing I forgot?


    I could hear chants and some screaming, and seeing all those people, I just went to my hotel.


    As I did, I constantly more people go the same way.


    Putting on the television, there was the news, and some other things, after watching a bit of tv, I put on the news and...


    <hr>


    "Master, how was your talk with the Council?".


    Maso Tin''s Padawan, Jarase Loos, was always wanting to know of the Council meetings of Maso Tin.


    Looking at the eager Padawan, Maso Tin replied, "Same old, same old, more awards, say aren''t you progressing such as quickly? Who knows, before you even know it, you may become a Jedi Knight!".


    Jarase Loos hearing this for a second imagined himself asa Jedi Knight.


    "Jedi Knight..."


    Maso Tin patting his head and beginning to walk and talk, "So, how was your visit?".


    Jarase Loos going back to his senses, immediately replied, "Master! Can we go to Axial Park!? Tralos Brenin is there, and I want to meet him!".


    "Tralos Brenin? Where have I heard that name..."


    Trying to remember who Tralos Brenin was, Maso Tin was in great thought.


    "Master, he''s the one that saved me when I was young!".


    Maso Tin sighing and facepalming suddenly remembered, how did he not remember Tralos Brenin?


    There were not many civilian heroes, but Tralos Brenin was one of them and the premier one.


    He was a great despiser of the black sun syndicate and helper.


    His fame somewhat even over eclipsed the Corellian Jedi in some cases.


    "Alas, if only he was born a Jedi..."


    Maso Tin muttering to himself, then looked to his young Padawan and replied, "Oh right, let''s go, but first, we should change..."


    It was quite obvious for the change of clothing, otherwise Maso Tin and Jarase Loos would be far to eye-catching.


    Though their green costumes would reflect off the greenery, virtually anyone seeing them would scream out.


    Meanwhile, at Axial Park, Tralos Brenin was by himself, the Corellian Jedi had already left, cornered by civilians all shouting out his name or thanking him for his efforts.


    There were many that were his fans and those that wished to be like him.


    Another thing was the reclusiveness of Tralos Brenin, often helping and then disappearing, he indeed had a fixed home, but nobody knew where it was.


    This only attributed to his great fame, and many news reporters wished to gather more information on him.


    Due to this, he was on the news, and a certain person in a hotel was watching the same news...

 Maso Tin (II) Corellia

    Well, that''s just great isn''t it?


    How in the world, did I forget such a thing...


    Banging my head on my bed as if it was tofu, I was simply dumbfounded.


    But, as I continued to watch, I saw Maso Tin...


    He was pushing all the crowds away from Tralos Brenin, and there with him, I think his Padawan?


    The reporter seemed to be pushed down by the crowds.


    Should I go to sleep, or outside?


    Hmm...


    Hmm...


    Hmm...


    Ah, screw it, I''m going to sleep...

    Kaboom!!!


    "Our reports have shown that the Black Sun Syndicate has become far more active in the past decade!


    What do you think about it, Director?"


    "Just a bunch of thugs, they''ve only become more active as we haven''t been hard enough on them! Watch us and the Corellian Jedi crack down on their operations!".


    <hr>


    What the...


    I felt as if the hotel exploded.


    Getting bounced off my bed, then beginning to squirm as if I was a fish on land.


    On the floor I lay, I just got into bed and kind of couldn''t be bothered to get up.


    The distance between my hotel and Axial Park wasn''t far, nor was it close.


    But, by my calculations, it should take only three to four hours, for police to show up.


    I wondered why the Black Sun Syndicate would become so bold all of a sudden...


    Getting on my bed, I just decided to stay there until something happened.


    <hr>


    "Sir Vigo, we have disabled allcomms and attacked all pivotal points, we are ready to strike directly now!


    An operative was speaking to a Vigo, someone who answered only to the Black Sun Underlord.


    The Vigo wore a strange mask, though his face was hidden, his head could still be seen.


    He was of a humanoid appearance, but it was too hard to tell his species, as he also wore an armour which hid anything about him that could give reference to his species.


    If not a human, he was likely a Zeltron, Zabrak, perhaps even Sith Pureblood?


    One couldn''t tell with only his head shown.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Speaking with a deep tone and heavy voice, "Good... The others Vigo''s and even the Underlord believes it to be impossible, however, with the Sith as my ally, I will become the new Underlord and bring Corellia to my knees..."


    <hr>


    About five minutes passed, and nothing happened.


    I did, however, hear more explosions and opening the window, I saw dark smoke and destroyed buildings.


    Ah, look what happened...


    Then, I heard screams, they probably were happening before, but I just didn''t hear them, as the windows were closed.


    Instead of waiting, I decided to go with the flow.


    The first thing I did was open the door, and then, a member of the Black Sun Syndicate appeared.


    I punched him in the face, fortunately, he wasn''t wearing a helmet, but rather only a breath mask.


    Pulling him in as he was unconscious, I tied him using the bed sheets and took his clothes to disguise into.


    Unfortunately, they didn''t fit me...


    I, however, did take his breath mask as it was necessary.


    Leaving the hotel, I saw a few Black Sun Syndicate members, narrowly dodging them, I got out, it was indubitably dark and full of smoke


    With the breath mask, I was able to breathe at least to somewhat of a degree.


    I didn''t have much anyway, so I could just leave, but as I couldn''t see anything.


    Axial Park would probably be the best area.


    If I remember, it was this way.


    Beginning my path, I almost tripped a few times, I could jump high and run quickly, but I wasn''t sure what I would bump into, then.


    As more time passed, my vision began to become blurry due to all the smoke going to my eyes.


    I quickly tried to find a building, as I did, I saw a hotel.


    Getting inside there, I felt that it was familiar.


    As I began to survey the hotel, I saw a Black Sun Syndicate Member, beginning to shoot at me, I ran up the stairs.


    Doing so, I saw the elevator was going up, initially, I was going to stop and try to get him, but on every floor, there was a Black Sun Syndicate Agent or Member.


    Were they called Agents, Member, or Operatives? I couldn''t remember, but eventually, I made it to the top floor.


    All the rooms were locked except one, and I ran into that room.


    Upon going inside there, I saw an unconscious man that was almost naked.


    Then...


    I realized...


    I was in the same room...


    <hr>


    A resounding voice was heard throughout a room, it was frightening and full of hatred.


    But, it was as if that hatred was tamed...


    "Eregis, I fear that Shaange will fail, especially since Alogio sent Mektis, go and stop Mektis..."


    "Yes, My Lord..."


    The resounding voice was, of course, Darth Deragus speaking to Darth Eregis.


    <hr>


    Meanwhile, at the Vigo''s base, a guest had just arrived.


    "Mektis... You have finally arrived!! With you, we shall have Corellia!".


    The Vigo was full of excitement on the arrival of Darth Mektis.


    However, the Sith Lord was indifferent, "We? The Empire shall have Corellia..."


    In response, the Vigo quickly replied, "As you say!".


    The Vigo had a great big smile under his mask as he was walking with the Sith Lord.


    However, as he did, an agent arrived and spoke some words to him.


    "Sir Vigo, we have encountered some problems..."


    As he finished those words, the agent levitated in the air and choked himself.


    The Vigo watched in shock, as the Sith Lord continued to walk.


    <hr>


    What should I do?


    Leave the room again?


    Then, looking outside opening the balcony''s door, I saw a bright light, as if it was signalling something.


    Looking at it, I had to decide whether to stay or go there.


    The chances of it being a trap were quite high, but also quite low.


    <hr>


    "Master Jedi, your beacon worked!".


    "Indeed it did, but now we must work on against the Black Sun Syndicate."


    The first speaker was a technician and the second was none other than Maso Tin.


    "Maso, the Black Sun Syndicate has somehow managed to use the sewer pipes to subsequently bomb several dozens of buildings, thankfully your crowd control worked to stop the people from going wild".


    This was the Jedi that was meant to be met by Shaange, but the latter forgot about the former.


    As he was there when Maso Tin did the crowd control, he was amazed by the way with words he possessed.


    "Hmm, pipes... But how? All the sewers systems are checked once a week and inspected every month unless both the inspectors and workers have been on the Black Syndicate''s Side, it should''ve been impossible..."


    "Yes, this is far too strange..."

    In the sewer of Corellia, several people could be seen moving underneath.


    Each of which wearing the clothing of inspectors and workers of the sewers.


    As if the Vigo and Sith either controlled them or they replaced them with others.


    The latter was true of course.


    "With this, we will be able to march straight into the Jedi Temple!". The Vigo''s words were boastful, he far underestimated the might of the Corellian Jedi.


    Darth Mektis was silent, before deciding to speak, "Do not underestimate the Corellian Jedi" Pausingfor a moment as he looked around, then continued, "If they were truly so unknowing, then Corellia would have already fallen long ago".


    <hr>


    "I sense a dark presence, and it is close". One of the Jedi Council Seats spoke loudly as he addressed the others.


    Hearing this, another Seat replied, "You couldn''t be supposing there are enemies within our own ranks?".


    Following those words, whispers could be heard in multitude, however, the next moment came a great voice, silencing the whispers.


    "Master Dan! Master Rayga did not suppose such a thing!".These words came from Master Yeras the Head of the Corellian Jedi.


    Though Master Dan and Rayga both themselves were Council Seats and Heads of the Corellian Jedi, Master Yeras by far held the greatest power and most respect.


    As the whispers stopped, a young Jedi Initiate appeared, "Masters, Knight Tin, wishes to address you".


    Still a silence after Master Yeras''s words, the young Jedi Initiate simply waited for an answer.


    "Send him in" Breaking the silence was another Seat of the Council.


    "Knight Tin, why do you require us?". Spoke another member of the Council.


    "Masters, I believe that the enemy has employed the use of a Sith, and are now under our sewers". Maso Tin spoke in a straightforward manner, there was no time for riddles.


    "I agree," Said one Council Member, following on, "Indeed, I have sensed it to". Another spoke, however in disagreement, "The sewers, but I checked them myself!".


    "Master Rarza, I believe our systems have been compromised." Spoke another Council Member.


    However, Master Rarza was still unsupportive, "Who is our enemy that has employed Sith?".


    Maso Tin replied, "The Vigo of Corellia and Darth Mektis, additionally, I have received information of another unnamed Sith Lord".


    "Corellia has a Vigo? Mektis? Another Sith Lord! How outrageous does this sound?". Shouting loudly, Master Rarza was defiant, how could Corellia have a Vigo assigned to it? Much more a Sith Lord? Even Darth Mektis wouldn''t dare to come to Corellia alone, or even with another Sith Lord.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Calm Down, Master Rarza, this must have been in planning for several years, we let the lack of the Black Sun Syndicate''s actions blind us..." Master Rayga''s words were a calming presence to everyone,to such a degree, that he was often Corellia''s negotiator in most cases.


    "Then what shall we do?". As Master Rarza finished speaking, everyone''s eyes were on Maso Tin.


    <hr>


    "Master, where are you going?". Jarase Loos, Maso Tin''s Padawan was asking his Master as he was getting on a speeder.


    Maso Tin took a good luck at his Padawan and replied, "To pick up a friend, we''ll need him".


    "But, the Council!?". If Maso Tin did leave than Jarase Loos would have to answer to the Council, and in truth, he was slightly afraid of Master Dan.


    "They can worry about themselves, I told them about what''s wrong". Speeding off, Maso Tin was going to the areas affected to pick someone up.


    <hr>


    Using First Person Speech


    <hr>


    Sitting still, I contacted Maso Tin to pick me up.


    Due to the events that happened, Maso Tin stated that everything had to speed up.


    Apparently, if it wasn''t done today, it would''ve been impossible to do later.


    He said that the Jedi Temple Archives of Ferysay Dan were most vulnerable, in the time after they recovered, Master Dan would likely lock himself in his Archives as was what he would normally do to prevent the same event to happen again.


    Honestly, I would''ve rather gained a friendly reputation, however, due to the unexpected attack by the Vigo anda Sith that I didn''t know about.


    Plans had to be changed.


    I only hoped that the plans changed would be for the better.

    As Maso Tin raced towards the coordinates of Shaange, within the sewers of Corellia.


    A group of five Corellian Jedi Masters were guarding a pathway in the dark.


    Staying there, eventually, the Vigo''s group arrived and caught sight of them.


    The people wearing the clothing of inspectors and workers were spies or people that had been bribed to give up their job.


    All of them being trained agents of the Black Sun Syndicate, such a project took several years, for exact numbers, seven years.


    The first five years were quick, the original workers were "persuaded" and "encouraged" by large sums of money, however, the next two years was during the time where some workers refused to accept the bribes.


    Some extra actions were required for this...


    "Shoo-" Before the Vigo could continue, Darth Mektis lightly tapped his shoulder and he moved forward.


    "Darth Mektis..." One of the five Jedi Masters said this echoed quite far.


    "None of you are on the Council I see... Darth Mektis''s words weren''t full of anything except for pure disappointment, that he wasn''t fighting someone on the Council.


    The distance between them made it quite hard for them to see each other, however as the five Jedi Masters ignited their lightsabers as did Mektis, it was like a light show of five green lights and a single red one.


    Meeting in the middle, one could only see the moving green lights and the single red light.


    However within seconds as they met each other, the lights of green became four.


    As the four green lights retreated, and once more went forward, they became three.


    For a moment, streaks of lightning could be seen, however dispelled as it was resisted by a green lightsaber.


    Once more another green light faded though this time, the sound of a body being dumped into the water could be heard.


    As if the two green lights became more brash and quicker, the red light was being steadily pushed back, until in a manner that would be deemed impossible by normal standards, the red light twisted and another green light was gone.


    As if the last green light was shaking, within the next moment it was thrown away, and the red lightsaber itself was withdrawn.


    Darth Mektis had made quick work of the five Jedi Masters...


    <hr>


    Meanwhile, on Corellia, there was a strange individual entering, deep within was a vast darkness and a great hatred.


    But it was sealed, hidden and unseeable by the eyes of both Jedi and Sith.


    This was...Darth Eregis, of course...

 Eregis, Descent (I) Corellia

    <hr>


    Third Person


    <hr>


    As Darth Mektis swiftly defeated the five Jedi Masters, looking towards them, not in anger, but simply disappointment.


    They were simply too weak, for the likes of him...


    Born as a Sith Pureblood, his ability in the Force was unparalleled among the Sith, other than the Emperor and his the Children of the Emperor, none could say to match him.


    He believed the Force to be the ultimate power, and the Dark Side to be the Pinnacle of Ultimate Power.


    However, this was also his weakness.


    His unwillingness to establish a power base based on anything else other than powerful Force Users brought forth many weaknesses.


    Sith were the type to always undermine each other, therefore, Darth Mektis''s power base was incredibly divided.


    Another thing was his arrogance towards those not using the Force, even killing several Moffs for disobeying him, the Dark Council attempted to strike him down.


    But, in raw power alone, no member of the Council could defeat him, only with cunning and external help could on defeat him.


    Darth Alogio seeing how powerful Mektis was, asked for allegiance and in return offered him battles with the Jedi, hearing of this and wishing to battle the Jedi, he accepted.


    Darth Alogio was, after all, one of the few Dark Council Seats against the Treaty of Coruscant, mainly due to her father''s death towards the Jedi.


    With Darth Mektis joining Darth Alogio, her power base became far more stable.


    <hr>


    With a pause, the Vigo moved forward and asked, "Mektis! Have the Jedi been---"


    Before the Vigo could continue, he heard a voice coming from Darth Mektis, "Eregis has... Descended on to Corellia..."


    Pausing for a second, if one could see through the dark, then they would see a Darth Mektis in deep contemplation before continuing, "Interesting..."


    <hr>


    Then beginning to continue, the Vigo''s troops continued their movement, as did Mektis with the Vigo himself.


    Walking through the streets of Corellia, was a middle-aged human man with visible signs of ageing.


    Tiring as he walked, he took a seat on a nearby bench, uncaring of the destruction happening only a mere half an hour walk away.


    Taking a deep breath, at first glance he was just another person.


    But, deep within him was a hatred, darkness, rage, all controlled and kept, unlike others.


    This was Darth Eregis, very different to what most people suspect when seeing him for the first time, he was unlike most Sith, well, most Sith under the command of Darth Deragus were similar.


    Several Dark Council Seats commented on the unorthodox viewpoints of what it meant to be a Sith set by Darth Deragus was.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Many assassinations took place, but none were successful of course.


    Sith in the hundreds appealed to the Emperor''s Voice, however, the Voice only replied, that the Emperor had become silent...


    <hr>


    Meanwhile as Maso Tin was speeding towards Shaange, seeing all the Black Sun Agents and people held hostage, he decided that Shaange could wait a bit.


    Rescuing hostages and taking care of the Black Sun Troops, he felt bad for taking more time but knew this was his duty as a Jedi.


    "Sir Vigo! There is a Jedi here!". A Black Sun Agent was sending a message through a Holo Projector, he didn''t dare to have a conversation as he felt that it was unwise when the Vigo was busy.


    Moments later after he sent the message, he was flown to the wall, though hitting the wall with a hard impact it was nowhere enough to kill him, but just enough to knock him unconscious.


    The last he saw being a moving green light as he hit the wall.


    As Maso Tin swept through all the Black Sun Agents and rescued people, uncaring of how much time passed, he simply continued.


    <hr>


    Meanwhile, Maso Tin''s Padawan, Jarase Loos was in the Jedi Temple, thinking of what to do.


    Born in poverty, the moment he was discovered as Force Sensitive, his mother immediately took him to the Jedi Temple.


    Though it was with great difficulty that she did so, her husband died as a soldier serving the Republic, however, due to some issues.


    The remuneration death fund never came, some said it was due to the corrupt colonel thatJarase''s father was working under.


    Others claimed that it was because there was an incident where pirates stole the remuneration death fund and others...


    However without any evidence or solid backing, the Republic simply ignored it, due to this, Jarase''s mother found great difficulty as she was pregnant with Jarase just a few months before Jarase''s father''s death.


    Due to this, unwanting for Jarase to suffer the same fate as her, she immediately gave Jarase to the Jedi and asked that Jarase simply is told that he was an orphan...


    This was indeed, what was told to him, however, his natural curiosity gave him to the truth.


    Due to this, in a way, he was in a way, determined a rogue by the Council.


    He had no fixed Master and didn''t even go near the Jedi Temple until he met Maso Tin.


    That was what at least, everyone thought...


    <hr>


    Meanwhile, Master Dan was looking inside his quarters, hidden there was the Mask of the Ancient Sith, Narva Worso.


    Countless times, he attempted to destroy the Mask, but every time resulted in a failure.


    Even his lightsaber was shorted out touching the Mask, and using the Force on it seemed difficult...


    To this very day he was continuously trying.


    <hr>


    At the Jedi Temple, there were four people, one was Master Rarza who was slightly arrogant, but at the same time, knowing and wise enough to realize he was wrong.


    Another of the four was a Jedi once Master Rarza''s Padawan, however, he himself was now a Jedi Master, but not yet on the Council.


    The other two being, the Padawan of Master Rarza''s former Padawan and the last being Master Nomil, another Seat on the Council.


    A strange silence was present between the four, with the aid of each other, they could clearly sense the movement of Darth Mektis who decided to no longer restrict himself.


    His presence was terrifying, all the Jedi Acolytes and Padawans, except for a few were being mentally guarded by the Jedi Knights who they themselves could barely withstand the presence.


    It was only due to the close connectedness the four had that they could resist the presence of Darth Mektis, to in a way, create a barrier around the entire Temple.


    If not for such a barrier, even the Jedi Knights would be unable to stand up properly, simply terrifying and unimaginable was the raw power in the Force possessed by Darth Mektis.


    <hr>


    Following through the sewer system was, Darth Mektis, behind was the Vigo and his troops, all afraid to come to close.


    Both Master Rayga and another Seat of the Council wished to flood the sewers, but Master Yeras saw such an action as craziness embodied.


    Without proper beforehand procedure, to flood the sewer system was to create an event which would prevent for roughly a fifth of the planet''s sewers to stop working.


    However, at the same time, this wasn''t as bad if Darth Mektis came to fight the Jedi Council with the Jedi, as many saw Darth Mektis be too powerful for the entire Council.


    Due to this, many wished to call reinforcements from the Republic, but Master Yeras had only two words, "No need..."


    He wished to fight...

 NOTE!!! Remaking this.

    Alright, it''s been two months, since I touched this. As you can tell by the title, I''m restarting this, same characters, different actions, but an overall same result.


    As you would know this is an AU (Alternate Universe) fanfiction, it still will be, however this time, it will stick closer to ''The Old Republic'' than before.


    Due to this, I may have to make some changes, some people will die that didn''t, and some will live that originally died, some might even be erased.


    But, as I said before, overall same result, unless, there is a major issue. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Anyway, here''s a small list of what will be different.


    1. Korriban Planetary Arc will be revamped a lot, this will happen, I honestly think I screwed up the most here. (Might have to revamp Balmorra a lot as well.)


    2. Personalities of certain characters, especially, one such that helped our Protagonist, by giving him a certain...


    3. Names of characters, I mean really, I should have said them out loud first, then type them up.


    4. More changes...


    Anyway, the remake will be released, as ''Star Wars: The Old Empire'', get the reference?


    Might change, but anyway, it will be released on the 25th of March, as that would make it a six month anniversary?


    Something like that, anyway, see you then...
