Coruscant.

A humanoid figure is seen standing face to face with a droid. The droid has a saber ignited ready to strike its opponent who is covered head to toe in a suit made out of weird materials and fibers with black coloring.

The beings face is masked behind a helmet that is also colored black. Any other color of the suit glows with a purple light. 'Purple is cool after all, the actor Samuel L Jackson sure had it right.'

Anakin dodges as the droid goes in for the kill and with extreme ease and skill smashes down with full force.

Anakin suited within his armor has it currently set to armor mode as its default not needing any other module. Igniting his own training saber, Anakin launches into an attack drawing from the negative emotions to empower his lightsaber form.

'Practice makes perfect and having a training partner helps me evolve beyond simple theoretical study and un-tested with no experience with the form.'

Anakin had more plans then to just create his very own Nanosuit he had also wanted to create his very own Vader based suit as well but instead a direct copy he would take inspiration from what made the outfit so intimidating.

At first the Nanosuit he had created was made so he had to keep it on all the times, while he did everything. It took a while before the Nanosuit achieved symbiosis, meaning it has now merged into his very physical being.

He not only infused the suit with the non-organic form of midi-chlorians like he had done to to the living droids and grievous he had also combined it with the blue stone that allows people a limited amount of access to Force abilities.

The reason this was done was to further increase his connection to the suit where it was fully spiritually connected so when symbiosis was fully achieved it would be connected to him at not only a physical and mental level but also to his soul.

This would make it possible for him to use Force abilities that would require him to take of the suit if he wasn't connected to it.

The combat droid continuously swings at Anakin who is within his Nanosuit but keeps on dodging and weaving through the very fast strikes. Sometimes Anakin would deflect while in a defensive posture to refine his control of his body.

He usually restricted his Force abilities when fighting against this training droid he created as he would win too fast. Purely refining his physical state of being and the skills of lightsaber dueling makes sure he would never be dull in combat situations.

In fact, the droid had been upgrading throughout the year to adjust its settings to make it capable of keeping up with him. Especially when he had merged with the Nanosuit.

"Why dont we kick this up a notch." Anakin says out loud as more droids enter the training room from out of no where.

Some have training sabers of their own while others have been programmed to fire some training blasters at him while he takes on the entire group of droids. Still, even this is not enough for the droids to even manage to land a hit on him.

No saber or blaster shot can hit him, most of the swings of sabers being reflected while the shots being narrowly dodged or avoided all together.

The training he has been put through was definitely of higher standards and if his masters, Qui-Gon and Mace did not push him hard then he would have done so himself.

He knows for sure that if he did not have someone who had experience help him learn the Force, without them it would take a long time to get to the level he is currently at.

After a while within the training room Anakin had defeated all droids by disabling them. 'That was good a good workout.'

During the same year the invasion of Naboo took place a species that was very peculiar had arrived in the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong.

Yuuzhan Vong, 'Children of Yun-Yuuzhan.' also called the Chosen Race, known to the Chiss and Ferroans as the Far Outsiders, and sometimes incorrectly abbreviated to Vong were a nomadic extra-galactic sentient species.

A typical Yuuzhan Vong resembled a Human in form, though they were taller and heavier than the average Human and had less hair on their heads. The Yuuzhan Vong were religious zealots, who viewed mechanical technology as blasphemy. Their technological innovations were genetically engineered and purely organic.

Anakin had decided that he may want to stay away from this species at least for in the short term knowing that they would in the future cause great death throughout the galaxy.

What was even more special about them was their unique distinct lack of a presence within the Force. Considering they had come from outside the galaxy it does make some sense as to why they would be like that.

"Master Skywalker, why have you called me?" Grievous had answered the call he had sent to him.

"There is a very weird race of beings that have recently entered our part of the galaxy." Anakin says then continues. "Well, more like a species that could be taken as an enemy of our future and the future of the droids."

"They have a distinct hate for technological advancements and their technology is focused around biological and genetic materials."

"That is interesting, some of the elite medical droids would be interested in studying this species." Grievous says.

"I would like to as well."

"Is there something specific you would like to be done?"

"Yes and no, I want to see if there is a way I could possibly communicate with this species. It probably wont happen considering I have basically become, if only partially a cyborg like yourself."

"Yes you had done something similar to myself. The other mission you had sent me on was a success and I appreciate that I get to do things other then help manage the droids." Grievous says with sincerity. "It does get boring sometimes."

Grievous had spent most of his time on Dathomir dealing with the droids and with the Nightsisters. Even though he had now become somewhat capable with utilizing his new abilities that didn't mean he was completely able to face off against them by himself.

"I have gotten those bracers you wanted. There was this human woman that had come into the plan searching for the same thing you were going for."

"Yes, I know that others would go after it."

"She is a professor of sorts." Grievous begins to report. "Known as 'Profex Rynalla,' a female Human Dark Side Adept, archaeologist and scholar, affiliated to the University of Sanbra."

"An interesting person indeed, you have sensed she is capable of using the Force."

"Yes. I have also captured her as she was about to start an entire war over that bracer artifact."

Rynalla was an expert in galactic history, archaeology, and the lore of several traditions of Force-users, including the Jedi Order, the Sith, in addition to bygone organizations. Secretly, Rynalla researched the Sith and traditions of the dark side to increase her own powers of the Force.

While researching in the University records, Rynalla discovered that a missing Sith treasure, the Bracers of Najus, had been lost in a Sith starship which had crash-landed on the planet of Leritor. The Bracers could be used to increase the power of the dark side, and she coveted the relic.

"The bracers capabilities are entirely useless to me, the reason I had sent you out on that mission was for you to use those bracers for yourself."

"Really?"

"It will help you considering you have become much more affiliated with the dark side of the Force so you can draw some power out of it." Anakin states. "I suggest you dont use it for now though as it will make you weaker against other dark side users."

"The Bracers of Najus were Sith artifacts created by a Sith artisan known as Najus. In a quest for revenge in a personal feud against the Jedi Order, Najus desired an item that would interact with the dark side of the Force, increasing the power of the darksider wielding it."

"This led him to create the elaborately-adorned Bracers of Najus, which increased the wielder's dark side power whenever such power was used against an adherent of the light side; however, if the target of an attack resorted to the dark side of the Force, the Bracers would benefit the target rather than the wielder." Anakin continued.

"Can you help me fix this flaw?"

"Yes. It wont be much effort to recreate another set of bracers with only the benefits. You do have to deal with the Nightsisters alot."

"Great. Is there anything more you want to discuss, or you just want me to keep an eye out on those Yuuzhan Vong."

"The Yuuzhan Vong are dangerous especially to Force-sensitive people who are overly reliant on the Force. I suggest that the droids be careful as well." Anakin continues. "They would be absolutely hated and despised even if they're what could be considered living beings."

"Ok." Grievous signs off from the communication device after Anakin had given his leave.

Within the grand city of Coruscant, a large figure could be seen stalking through some of the lower rungs of the glorious capital of the Republic.

Clad in a deep black suit, armored with a black cape draped behind the figure it moves through the shadier areas of Coruscant.

The helmet is the signature helmet of the infamous Darth Vader but in this current timeframe the person within the suit was simply known as Vader.

Anakin had been getting more and more free time and he used this free time to his advantage. He had rebuilt Vader's original suit but without the flaws and much more powerful. Much more connected to him.

While his Nanosuit had achieved full symbiosis meaning you cannot see the suit in on itself anymore and had become apart of his being that did not mean he was going to stop there in empowering or protecting himself.

There were also many other things he could do here on Coruscant and that would be to start cleaning up the streets behind the mask and become some sort of mafia boss controlling everything from behind the scenes.

Much like Palpatine but he would be changing things for the better. A lot of shady stuffed stuff happened on Coruscant despite its clean look.

It wasn't as perfect as it would like to display itself.

In his more darker persona of Vader he had built himself up as if he were a Mandalorian and made sure to not use any abilities related to the Force. It helps that he had also started helping out the Mandalorian's as well, at least unofficially he had been accepted into their culture as Vader.

It was not that hard to fool them into believing he had some descent from that group and had wanted to be trained and reintroduced to their culture.

Blasters attached to his hips as to help along any negotiations that take place. When Anakin means negotiations, he doesn't mean the same way Qui-Gon goes with his.

Slowly taking over the criminals of Coruscant and reforming them into better people was a slow process but he had a few years to work with before things got very busy again.

Anakin's breathing could be heard from behind the mask. "You will surrender to me or suffer the consequences." Albeit it is not the same heavy breathing as the original but just as intimidating nonetheless as the local criminals had come to fear the synthesized voice.

"Ye-ye-yes sir! I will transfer everything to you!" The criminal sum replied.

"Good, now let me see into your eyes. I will judge you for you sins and if deemed unworthy of the living you shall die." Anakin moves towards the man and plunges right into the mans mind with some regard to his mental safety.

"Argh!" The man chokes as if he was being gripped around his neck being brought closer to Anakin.

'I can erase some memories now but it would be pretty hard doing it on proper Force-sensitive people.' Anakin thinks browsing the mind of the criminal.

'Nothing to outrageous and his actions though cannot be justified at least has a reason to resort to petty crimes.'

A lot of the criminals were simply normal people forced into situations that were very unlucky. The man Anakin is holding was also another victim of the many failings of the Republic. 'I may be delaying the inevitable but this gives me time to build up the Outer Rims and make them stable planets for people to live on.'

"Good. You have been judged and the weight of your sins will be multiplied just so you remember the pain of those you tormented." What Anakin was doing was increasing the emotions of the mans guilt.

The man slumps over unconscious. Looking towards the other who had gotten on his knees started to scream at the top of his lungs. "NO! Forgive ME! Please, spare me my life."

Vader walks towards him. 'This one seems like a person deserving of death. Lets look into his mind first.'

Anakin sees many things he dislikes and unlike the other, this man took pleasure in very sick acts that Anakin finds disturbing. Not to be too put off he looks no further before saying. "So many victims. Feel their pain!"

A sharp pain is felt as Vader tears apart the other mans mind before making him relive the moments his victims had suffered.

'That should do it. I will come back to finish him off later if he manages to have enough willpower to survive the mental attack. He wont be doing anything else.'
