LAST CHAPTER

" I must do this alone my apprentice , Now ... Leave me " And older man said , He was a mu'un going by the name of hego damask , However few called him by the name of Darth plagueis .

" As you wish my master " A younger male said , He was human with greying hair , This younger human male in public went by the name of Sheev Palpatine , However others would come to know this individual as darth sidious " I will be here when you return "

Plagueis didn't bother replying as he made his way into his shuttle before taking off The old mu'un panicking ' This has to be a sign of retaliation for what I've done ' as he sat down in his chair and punched in the coordinates for Korriban .

CURRENT CHAPTER

Nox sat in his once glorious council seat , Leaning forwards as his hands were clasped together while Kanya meditated silently as they waited for the sith currently making his way towards the temple .

PLAGEOUS PERSPECTIVE

Plagueis landed his shuttle as he put on his breather and robes incase the meeting with another sith went sideways while grabbing his lightsaber .

" Hopefully it wont come to that " The Mu'un thought as he made his way out of the shuttle , Covering his eyes as he gazed towards the korriban academy before sensing the presence of the one he was searching for coming from the top of the building .

Keeping high hopes on the meeting with an unknown darkside user Plagueis made his way to towards the academy .

BACK TO NOX

Nox waited somewhat patiently as he sat back in his seat , The ancient stone still feeling important to him .

Nox observed as a black cloak clad figure made his way through the torn down door .

" I must say , A figure with such power in the force reaching out to me , I am honored , Though I can't help but wander who you are " Plageuis started as he came to stand at the opposite side of the room , Feeling surprised at not noticing the muted presence of the second meditating figure .

" Isnt it rude to ask someone's name without introducing yourself first , Especially the name of a fellow dark lord " Nox stated evenly as he sat back and motioned for plagueis at take one of the twelve seats .

" Indeed it is , My mistake . I apologise , My name is Darth plagueis , Current dark lord of the sith and head of the line of Bane " Plagueis introduced as he took the seat across from nox .

" Then let me introduce myself , I am Darth Nox , Heir to Tulak horde and Illoisius kallig , Keeper of the sphere of knowledge of the sith and Emperor of the empire of Zakuul " Nox introduced as he watched plagueis reaction to his title .

Indeed Plagueis during his research of the sith had gone through history and did indeed recall the name .

" I admit , I am greatly surprised that if you are who you say you are , Then I must ask ... how did you achieve this impressive life span " Plagueis asked as he could potentially gain his long sought path to immortality .

" Hnn , Verywell , You seem to honestly wish to know ... You pursue eternal life dont you " Nox asked as Plagueis felt the ink like presence of Nox come into existance around him.

" I am Indeed , It is something I have strived for since my time as a young impressionable boy " Plagueis explained , Wanting nothing more than to know .

Internally Nox himself smirked as his sulphuric eyes narrowed on Plagueis behind his eyeless mask .

" If I explain the ways to achieving such a thing , What do I receive in return " Nox asked as he observed Kanya who had been meditating throughout the meeting .

" An alliance ... We Sith do not need to fight , We could learn so much more about the force if we simply work together " Plagueis stated with hope .

" That could indeed work in our favor , I do not wish the extinction of the sith , I accept this alliance . I will teach you the ways of what you wish to learn in time if this alliance bares fruit , However I must tell you that even with the knowledge you may never be able to achieve it " Nox stated as the clasps of his masks came undone before slowly lifting it from his face , His yellow eyes gazing into the of his fellow sith .

Plagueis himself was surprised by the youthful appearance of the knowledgeable force user infront of him and now more than ever believed that eternal life was achievable as he himself removed the mask that covered the lower portion to his face .

3 HOURS LATER ... ABOARD THE ETERNAL EMPIRE ROYAL SHUTTLE

" HK , I want the coordinates for the plant naboo put into the starmaps for future use " Nox instructed as he sat in his captains chair while kanya sat next to him .

" Master , I am curious to what you want there " Kanya asked as she looked towards her idol .

" Hego stated his apprentice came from Naboo , The mere mention of the name made the force cry out to me , I will guide the eternal empire from there eventually . However the force needs me to do other things beforehand " Nox explained as the blue streaks spread across the view point of the interceptor .

Kanya nodded as she closed her eyes as they dissapeared from korriban , A shuttle exiting with an ecstatic mu'un punching in the coordinates for his home .

ABOARD THE ETERNITY

" Master , What is that " kanya asked as she watched her master stare intently at a heavily worn and damaged mask while he sat on his throne .

The mask was grey with red coloring along the front with the red in a V shape along its front with another grey ling inside and overlapping th red , Where the eyes were located was a thin black visor that went horizontally across the mask . On the right of the mask was a gash that went through the visor with other forms of damage littering it's surface ( Revan reborn mask )

" This mask along with his lightsaber and robes belong to a man which I respected , I had the honor of fighting him myself and was the one to strike him down , I returned once everyone else left and collected what remained of his memory , Being both his lightsabers , Cloak and mask as well as his legacy . I keep the cloak and Lightsabers locked away but I occasionally gaze upon the mask of the man that started my rise albeit unwillingly so in short , Sentimental value " Nox explained as he ran a finger across the mask .

" Who was this man master " She asked as she payed closer attention to it .

" You will find out later , For now we must plan our course of action . While I am confident in my ability to remove a good portion of the Jedi from existance , If I am to do what the force seems adamant on me doing , I need knowledge , And unfortunately that also means learning more about the light side of the force " Nox explained , Not wanting to deal with the nagging feeble jedi he had added to himself, No doubt would pester him for sweet release .

With that in mind Nox focussed the force once more , Looking through it towards the Jedi temple .

JEDI TEMPLE

" While your insights have proven helpful In the past , We cannot overlook this extreme view you have " Jedi master windu stated as he and the other eleven council members observed the twelfth member .

" Disturbing this is , Fear for your mental state because of your visions , I do " A little green imp like creature stated as it sat in its chair located in the middle of the twelve members .

" Why won't you take this seriously , We are all In danger " The man standing in the centre of the stated as he started growing agrivated .

" What you are asking is the creation of an army , This is beyond what the Jedi code allows , This is extreme " Another counsel member stated , He had a large forehead that protruded higher than should be natural as well as a small white trimmed moustache .

" It isn't extreme , Its necessary " The man stated as he grew irrate .

" Enough , Sifo dyas you have been noted to be growing more unstable with each passing rotation , As previously discussed , It has been voted that you are not stable enough to be among the Jedi counsel any longer " A brown human male stated as he hunched over in his chair as he observed the shocked expression of the human male at the centre of the room .

" You refuse to heed my warnings and Instead cast me off of the counsel " Sifo dyas stated as he looked over each of the other members .

" It has already been decided , If it means anything , We are sorry " The brown man stated as Sifo dyas huffed and left through the door to the room which closed with a sharp hiss .

WITH NOX

Nox observed the man curiously through the force, His eyes glowing purple as he watched the human male with to dread locks on the side of his face Mumble and move towards the hanger bay urgently .

' He seems to be taking things into his own hands , Maybe I should ' Nox was about the make himself known to the man when he felt the force urge him to wait .

' NOT YET , wait a few days ' Nox eyes widened before they developed into a twitch .

" And what are you doing here " Nox stated heatedly as the apparition of Darth Marr appeared infront of him which caused Kanya to become defensive beside her master before he motioned her to calm down .

" That man has important things to do over the next week , The force will allow you to come into contact with him after , But not at this moment " Marr explained as he warily observed the only being capable of enslaving him .

" If The force is so sure of itself then why get me to do EVERYTHING " Nox roared As he stood from his chair with the ship rattling and groaning around him .

" You're still angry " Marr intelligently stated before being flung across the walkway by a seething Nox who had his arms glowing purple with the force .

" Of course I am , Is it not the way of the sith to be fueled by their hate " Nox stated as he descended the steps to his throne , The ship shuddering slightly with each step .

" I understand, And for what it's worth , I am deeply sorry for what happened " Marr stated evenly.

" Get out of my sight , I'll do what the force wants ... Nothing more , Now leave before I do something that you regret " Nox stated before stepping through Marrs apparition and heading for his hanger to test out his new toys to calm down lest he reveal himself to the galaxy .

Marr watched silently before fading away as Kanya stood and quietly followed her master as she felt his tension through their bond .

' You should have let me out to have some fun , I haven't been out in a long time , Not since that ' Nox heard a female voice from the deepest parts of Nox head .

NOX HANGER

" KILL IT " Nox shouted as the Izax droid was controlled by his implants , Destroying several skytrooper units that had been manufactured specifically for testing .

" MAKE THEM SUFFER " Nox shouted as the other Iocath war droids moved and obliterated the rest of the skytrooper units as they were turned to slag .

Nox descended from atop Izax head as he shut the droids down before sitting down calmly as he observed the molten slag while waiting for his curious apprentice .

" Master " Kanya asked as she calmly made her way through the hanger .

" Kanya , Was there something you needed " Nox asked as he rubbed his face for a moment .

" I was curious , What was that... Thing " She asked as she sat beside her master without fear .

" One of the many Ghosts from my past " Nox stated as kept watching the slag bubble and pop .

" One of them " Kanya asked confused .

" * Sigh * You always say you want to learn more about me " Nox said cryptically as he looked at the young girl " What do you want to know "

" Everything " Kanya said to which Nox sighed .

" Alright I will not tell you everything at once ... over time , and I am not doing it myselfl " Nox said as three other apparitions appears near nox .

Kanya observed two males and a female as she felt her eyes twitch slightly as the female slung herself around Nox possessively .

" I never told you this and I will never repeat any of this to you so listen and listen well " Nox stated as he looked at his apprentice while feeling Lana pull him back to rest on her knees .

" Very well Master " Kanya responded as the bald apparition that glowed yellow stood with the blue one with a mask .

" Years ago I was born to a slave couple on one of the moons of taris , I watched them die when I was twelve to my master who was a beast of a man who molested my mothers corpse for his entertainment until she grew to smell too bad for him , i grew hateful and resentful to anyone around me , Eventually my hatred grew so strong that one day while I was being punished for a mistake I had made in the mines , My rage turned into energy as all my slavers skin melted from their bodies , That was the first time I had ever used the force , And it killed everyone around me " Nox said without a hint of remorse as a Smile made its way to his face , Lightning racing along his arm .

" You ... were a slave " Kanya asked as she didnt want to bring up any of her masters painful memories .

" Yes , I was until i was a teenager when my hatred grew to such proportions that it changed the world around me simply by my moods " Nox said as he looked back to Lana.

" Forgive me master, If I have brought up and bad ... " Kayna responded .

" Forgiven , Anyways, The sith found out about my force sensitivity , I was sent to become an acolyte , I fought my way to become the apprentice of a woman called Darth Zash , I succeeded . After that she sent me on a wild goose chase to find artifacts for her to use , All the while an ancestor of mine guided me , He helped me thwart her attempt at stealing my body , I was given the title of lord after her death and I quickly gained power through the force , However it wasn't quick enough and I knew that. But as it would happen, Luck was on my side , I was and will always will be the only person to ever be able to bind the physical manifestations of the force to myself , Effectively removing me from the clutches of death as long as I have the ability . And that is what happened to these people , I became so strong in the force that both the jedi and republic acknowledged me as a larger threat than the empire itself , But they failed to kill me , I bound what remained of my family with their consent , Along with every pathetic jedi on the planet . Thus gaining power that nobody can equal anymore , I no longer work in the same league as other force users , I am unique , And the force acknowledged that , And It decided that I was good enough to ensure its stupid plan works " Nox explained as he allowed Kanya to observe him briefly through the force .

Her eyes widened as she felt two very different things from her master at once .

She felt like she was basking In the sun as she could feel the supernova of light side energy leaking from her master and almost burning her skin .

However she grew cold as her breath grew visible as she felt the dark side of her master , It made her shiver as she compared her own darkness to his , Hers was black yes , But his seemed so corrupt and hungry that she dreaded what it was like to be his enemy .

" How " Kanya asked at a loss for words .

" I am the unification of both sides of the force , A unification that had only been seen a scant few times in the past to this degree , And I will master it , All of it " Nox stated as he closed of what little of his presence he really let her feel .
