Chapter 135: Sith Preparations

As the Noetikon of Secrets closed I leaned back on my hands.

My training session with Bastila having finished for the day.

The training itself focusing on one of most broken Force techniques in existence.

Battle Meditation.

A Force ability that can literally change the flow of battle in an instant.

Which is a skill I naturally have an affinity for, given my heritage.

It's also a skill I am working toward reaching my ancestors Nomi's level one day. Since when she used Battle Meditation she could literally compel her enemies to kill each other.

That is definitely a power I need in my wheelhouse.

Especially if Sidious decides to try and maneuver the GSA and the Republic to going to war with each other.

A plan I have no doubt he would implement if he could.

Which is why I am on the lookout for it, and other plans Sidious may try to enact now that he can no longer form the CIS under the disguise of an independence movement for secession from the Republic.

Once again given the GSA exists.

Though if old Palpy does still manage to form the CIS if will be interesting to see the direction it takes from the way it went in the original timeline.

But once more, that is if the CIS forms.

Which I am not sure it will any more.

Considering how my actions and very existence have thrown evens out of wack.

Hell, I don't even know who Sidious selected as his new "apprentice" after I killed Maul and stopped Dooku from becoming Tyranus.

And I am sure he has one.

Since that old piece of shit always needs an attack dog/whipping post to do his dirty work for him.

Lest his identity as a Sith be exposed before he is ready for it to happen.

Which of course I will do.

But the preparations to enact such a plan are not yet in place.

Though once they are...Sidious days will be numbered.

I can't wait to see the look on that bastards face when everything he has been striving towards comes crashing down around me.

Ah, that day will be glorious.

It's also one that can't get here soon enough.

After taking a minute to collect myself I collected the Noetikon of Secrets and went to return it to my secret and ultra secure safe.

Then right after I did so I found Serra standing next to the entrance of the Refresher completely naked, sending out clear emotions of lust.

So faced with that I did the only sensible thing.

I stripped down to my birthday suit and followed her into the Refresher.

Where we worked to clean every inch of each other.

Thoroughly.

Man I love my life.

While Van was enjoying his life, he had no clue of the effects created by the wings of the butterfly he continued to generate.

[Videnda Sector, Dorvalla System, Dorvalla]

Standing for balcony of a newly built and modern foretres Sora Bulq observed the courtyard below him.

Which was filled with several individuals training.

All of them with burning yellow eyes.

For each one of the people in the courtyard we're fully immersed in the dark-side of the Force.

Courtesy of Sora Bulq.

On instructions from his master Sidious.

He had commanded Bulq to build a loyal following of dark-side acolytes.

Which the Weequay Sith Lord had done.

The dark side acolytes currently consisting of the following individuals.

Artel Darc.

Kern.

Ror.

Saato.

Karoc.

Vinoc.

Trenox.

As well as four individuals Bulq had personally scouted amongst those remaining in the Jedi Order after the new schism took place. Which he had personally turned fully to the dark side himself.

Alysun Celz, a female Jedi knight who was already close to the edge of falling and just needed a little push.

Sardoth, a male Iktochi who was envious of the former Jedi and now Jedaii Van Sunrider.

Tol Skorr, who Bulq saved from a near-death situation engineered for Skorr by his master.

Finally Jorus C'Baoth.

A man who Bulq surprised hadn't already fallen to the dark-side on his own. Given his arrogance, pride, and views on non-Force users.

Moving on.

Bulq continued to watch the acolytes train.

Until his terminal in his office began beeping.

Telling Bulq he was receiving a comms request.

Which he knew could be only one person.

His master.

Moving over to the terminal Bulq accepted the request.

A moment after he did he was faced with the hologram of his master, Sidious.

Going down on his right knee Bulq bowed his head to Sidious. "Master." He spoke.

"Apprentice." Sidious replied.

When he did Bulq then rose to his feet.

"How are things progressing?" Sidious asked Bulq.

"They are right on schedule master. The acolytes training is going smoothly." Bulq replied.

"Good." Sidious replied. "But remember my apprentice. Should any of the acolytes become too powerful then they must be eliminated. For you know the rule of the Sith. There can only be two." He replied.

"Yes. Of course master." Bulq replied.

"Excellent. Now, continue as you have been. Then when all of the pieces are in place we shall strike. Bringing the Republic, the Jedi, that travesty known as the Systems Alliance, and those Jedi who have chosen to support it to their ultimate demises." Sidious spoke.

This all being part of the new direction of the Bannite Sith grand plan which he had hijacked for himself.

After all thanks to the Illusive Man the galaxy at large now knew about the Sith and their history with the galaxy.

So since that is the case Sidious has decided to give the galaxy a taste of the Sith, which it hasn't had in almost 1,000 years.

He will unleash them and have them create death and destruction unseen in ages.

Then from the ashes his empire will rise.

Leaving him as the only one left standing.

'You may think you are derailing my plans my mysterious enemy. But that is not the case. And in time you shall know it.' Sidious thought.

A grin forming on his old decrepit face.

Needless to say the future of the galaxy was now more uncertain than ever.

------------------------------

A/N: So yeah, Sidious isn't down the for count. I mean why would he be? The man is working off a plan refined for close to a 1,000 years by numerous Sith before him.

Not to mention Sidious himself is a schemer.

Put simply the Clone Wars is going to be a whole different ball game than canon.

Especially since the Sith will take a more active role in the confict. Due to Van's butterfly effects.

Also as to why I made Jorus C'Baoth fall to the dark-side, it's because the man was prime dark-side material yet never fell.

I didn't like that so he is a dark Jedi in this fic.

Anyway until the next chapter.
