The left handed god

Nox knelt silently within his room aboard the X-70 , Pure energy hung heavily around the room , Suffocating and malevolent in it's feel as the ship hurled through hyperspace .

Black whisps of energy surged around Nox while avoided white and blue coloured whisps that whirled around Nox in chaos .

Vaylin stayed out of the room as she sat within her Co-pilots chair , Watching the blue spiral before the ship as the flee through hyperspace , Distracted in her state as she didn't sense it enter the ship .

White long hair flowing freely unaffected by gravity , Nearly as tall as the roof of the ship , Frail and gaunt , So tight was it's skin that it's skeleton was visible through its flesh .

Rags hung from its pale skins while it's black eyes stared into the bedroom it slowly hovered towards , It's gumless lips snarling .

Reaching forward as it's three fingers reached out from its impossibly bony arms as it entered the bedroom .

Nox's eyes snapped open as he stared at the starweird before him , The creature shaking before releasing a horrid screech that physically assaulted him as well as struck him through the force .

" That's enough of that " Nox glared as he gripped the starweird through the force before rapidly draining the creatures , It's enraged screech giving way to pained wails as it shriveled and fell apart in the force grip , It's life force flowing towards Nox as the man's eyes snapped open at the knowledge he was privy too in that moment , Eyes glossing over , Head snapping up , Nox delved into the vision offered to him .

Screams , Pleas and whispers assaulted Nox's mind as he opened his eyes , The void of space open before him .

A shockwave drew his attention as he turned to face one of if not the most titanic living creature he had ever bore witness to .

A purple and pink humanoid shape competed in battle with what appeared to be an entity larger than several planets .

Its bulbous head holding two black and red inky eyes , holding no nose or mouth , Instead appearing to have tentacle like appendages dropping from just under the creatures eyes .

Black wings protruded from the creatures back , However they appeared to have no effect on its movement through space .

On its chest it bore a glowing red gem to augment its powers as it battled it's opponent .

Hundreds if not thousands of times stronger than a regular force user , perhaps that was even a low ball , Lightning leapt from its clawed fingers at its opponent , Striking the entity , Said lightning holding the capability to rend the surface of planets scorched with a single bolt .

For all its power , It however was near a child compared to the being it faught, And with a single shift of the beings power , began to pull apart the squid like being , slowly tearing the creature apart , It continued on , It's will so great that it refused to lay over and die .

It was however just that , His will greater than his body , as his body failed him and fell apart under its uncles power .

And with a final hateful scream , So powerful it shattered the nearby moons , The creature died .

The corpse splintering before stiffening before being sucked into the null void and hurled into the different regions of the skyriver galaxy .

Its opponent departing soon after without a second glance .

The corpse was left to the scavenging hands of the lesser races , mainly the killiks who used the titanic corpse to create several planets out of the beings body .

All of which very familiar to Nox himself as the ex sith took in all he had just seen .

" Korriban , Kessel , Sessa , Kareda , The maw moons " Nox commited the formations to memory , The builder species creating these planets from the entities petrified body .

Nox looked to where the victor departed before the vision began to fade , Closing his eyes as he slowly felt himself begin to wake .

BACK IN THE X-70 B

With his head lowering , a booming headache ringing in his ears , Nox scrunched his face in pain .

Vaylin herself running into the room in worry as her ears appeared to have a slight amount of blood dripping from her ears .

" What was that " Vaylin asked as she grabbed Nox and stabilised him in his swaying .

" That ... was a starweird , But enough of that we have something far more pressing to worry about now " Nox dispelled the headache as he surged forward through the ship towards the bridge.

" Tell Athla'giroth to meet me in orbit over korriban , Immediately " Nox ordered of the ship AI as he forced the ship to leave hyperspace , Altering it's course for korriban before the the ship was once more on its way .

" Typhojem ... Horliss-Horliss " Sitting back with a troubled expression as he ran a hand through the hair on the side of his head ,Vaylin rubbing her ears with a cloth to clear the now dry blood before she returned to her previous seat . Nox however was troubled , Absorbing the starweird had killed the entity , But had gifted him with the knowledge the entity held , That same knowledge now stored with his mind as he began to review what was there .

" Vaylin " Nox turned towards the woman who tilted her head lightly , Already fully healed with a small burst of force energy .

" Be prepared for anything , We're going into dangerous territories now " Nox glared at the viewport of the bridge .

KORRIBAN SYSTEM

Appearing as a black cloud like material larger than the planets it swallowed and passed over .

The entity neared Korriban as it opened its semi physical maw ,Black tendrils of gas and cloud coalescing together as it reached out , Contorting together as it shrank in size , The head of the tendrils breaking the atmosphere for the great red planet before slamming into the sands in a colossal explosion , The black cloud like substance bleeding together from the stars above until it resembled an eight foot tall entity with six arms .

The being known as Athla'giroth looked up from where it landed , The sand shifting under its footing before it surged forward towards the ruined academy where he could feel Nox settling his starship down .

Warping space around himself , Athla appeared within the private hanger atop the academy , Watching as Nox walked down the ramp of the ship followed by Vaylin herself who stretched and yawned .

" My lord " Athla knelt as he looked at the ancient stone at his feet .

" Come , I have something to ... discuss with you " Nox instructed as he made his way to the exit of the hanger .

Vaylin remained silent as she followed in toe with her emperor , Athla'giroth rising from the ground as he took to following the ex sith through the hallways of the Sith academy .

" Tell me , You have siblings do you not " Nox asked out loud as Athla'giroth tilted his head to the right slightly .

" I do , you would like to know of them " Athla'giroth reasoned as Nox nodded , The Sith raising his hand to blast apart as large amount of rubble blocking their way through the academy .

" I would , Yes " Nox crossed his arms behind his back as Athla looked troubled but did as was requested non the less .

" Mother was obsessed with perfection , She wanted to create something of perfection that she would be able to call her own . She and father birthed many of us , The eldest of us was named Typhojem . He was cast out by our mother due to his ghastly appearance she hated him for the same reason she hated me . There was waru , Mngaal-mngaal , Taragorogaraht ... even Aerimus ...There were so many of us ... but in the end we were rejected by our parents in one way or another , Left to fend for ourselves in the galaxy our grandparents created " Athla'giroth clenched his hands as the armour surrounding his palms cracked under the pressure .

The trio eventually made their way to the entrance of the academy that overlooked the valley of the dark lords , Nox reminiscent of his past endeavours as he took in the smell of blood permanently engraved into the sands of the planet .

" Why do you ask me this " Athla'giroth asked as he turned to face Nox , The winds and sand blowing the siths hair around as the Sith turned to him .

" Are you aware of the fate of your eldest brother " Nox asked as the eldritch entity shook his head slowly .

" He was angry ... perhaps the angriest at times , He didn't wait for his revenge ... he departed without any of our knowledge ... he wasn't seen since " Athla told the Sith , Regret easily evident in the beings voice .

" There is no easy way to tell anybody this ... but you're currently walking on what remains of his torso " Nox motioned to the entire planet they stood on as Athla froze in place , Vaylin herself looked at Nox in curiosity .

" W... what do you mean " Athla'giroth asked , Fear Clutching at the force entities very being as Nox took a breath before revealing what he had learnt .

" Your brother ... in his rage challenged your uncle ... horliss knowingly or not , It would be his undoing . You brother was powerful yes , able to rend the surfaces of planets until there was nothing but the core . Neither was Horliss the strongest of his siblings ... That would go to Splendid Ap , But even then , Their power was immeasurable ... and more them capable of ... tearing apart their foes " Nox told Athla'giroth as the entity soon began to understand what could have occured .

" He ... murdered my brother " Athla'giroth asked the Sith , The Sith himself giving a slow nod in return .

" He tore your brother apart until nothing but his petrified remains were left . And the builder races ... like the killiks ... used what remained to make several planets . This world is one of them " Nox informed the entity as it went silent , Shaking in its perpetual rage as the body it inhabited shook .

" There's more " Nox began as the entity remained silent , It's eyes ever alive as the molten gold of its eyes flowed violently .

" You have a ... sister . Your mother ... created what she wanted , The perfect being in her final years . And split a piece of herself off into this ... child . The sole child to earn your mother's love and gifts " Athla'giroth snapped his attention back to Nox as the sith remained stoic amidst the shaking of the planet around them .

" What is ... her name " Athla'giroth asked , Wanting to know the name of the only entity to earn his mother's love .

" Her birth name was mourning ... But I think you'll find the name abeloth to be much more familiar " Nox told the entity as the being's eyes widened in recognition .

" The one you're monitoring in the maw cluster ... is my sister . Why " Athla'giroth asked in anguish , The Knowledge of his youngest siblings imprisonment agitating the entity .

" Your mother locked her gift away deep within your sister , And apon her final days , Cast your sister into the body of a diathim , Sending the woman to a trio of celestials who incarnated into lesser beings to guide the force . But your sister was mortal at that time , She grew to be apart of their family , Known as the mother , She brought peace to the warning siblings . She calmed them . She was happy . But she was aging , And she knew it , Soon her hold over the family began to fade , And in her desperation to fix her aging , She broke the rules imposed apon her by the father elegast .

She drank from the font of power , And bathed in the pool of knowledge . It gave her what she wanted , But the gift your mother gave her was unlocked , And it twisted her into something unrecognisable , The bringer of chaos . She subdued both the children at once with her newfound powers . But the father stepped in , Fleeing with the children with those children using the killiks to imprison your sister within a series of four black holes . When the force is turbulent she escapes to wreak havoc in the galaxy ... but there is something more to it ... I know there is " Nox told the entity all he knew , The entity slowly sinking to the ground at his siblings fate .

" Are you going to kill her " Athla'giroth asked as the sith looked over the sands of the world once more .

" At this moment ... As much as the elegast and his children wish it , I do not plan to kill your sister , But her fate falls entirely on her shoulders " Nox told the entity as it closed its eyes and calmed it's breathing .

" Why do you tell me this , Where did you get this knowledge " Athla'giroth asked , Vaylin leaning into get the answer herself .

" That is what troubles me ... Something is playing it's hand in the fate of this galaxy , Elegast and the children do not even know what it is but they obey it non the less . It gave me this knowledge personally . I do not know where it is , what it's purpose in intervening is . But I will find it , and it will answer . I tell you this because you deserve to know. From your birth to your war against the rakata and subsequent imprisonment , You never had a chance , I told you I would give you your revenge , But you deserve to know , The ones to kill and imprison your siblings , The ones who deserve your rage the most " Nox told the entity as it rose from the ground , Solemn in it's look as it nodded , Understanding and accepting the siths reasoning , Committing it to heart .

" I will get them back , All of them " Athla'giroth pledged as he looked up towards the sky , Fists clenching in his utter rage .

" Not with your current power , Not yet , Tell me , You absorb energy from stars and other sources of energy don't you , To grow stronger " Nox asked as the being nodded .

" I do , Why " Athla'giroth asked , Wandering what the Sith was hinting at .

" You've pledged your loyalty to me , You know the power that courses through this body of mine , its growth , You understand your place " Nox began as he circled the being as it saw no reason to refute the Sith .

" You're the first to truly understand , To offer me a place to call home , A reason to exist other than my rage . You have given me focus and the knowledge I lacked , There is no other I would serve " Athla'giroth told the Sith , Nox sensing nothing but the truth radiating from the being .

" Good ... then I have a task for you , a long task that will have you isolated from the rest of the world for large periods of time , But you will grow , Gain the power you sought during your war with the rakata " Nox instructed as Athla'giroth listened to the siths instruction .

" You are to travel to Iokath , Scorpio will give you the location of the generator facility currently being used under the labs . These generators Contain miniature suns comparable to their larger counterparts . And with the way they've been constructed , Have the potential for endless energy for eons . You will use these , Draw energy from them , Grow in power , Become what you were meant to be but we're denied . Then , When you're ready , You will have the power needed to exact your revenge on horliss and his master " Nox ordered as the entity readily accepted these orders , Eager to fullfill the emperor's wishes for both himself , His siblings and the Sith her served .

" Now go , Time wasted is time we do not have " Nox finished as Athla'giroth exploded into the sky , His body breaking apart into his original form of of titanic black vapour larger than planets on it's way to Iokath .

" You left something out of that didn't you " Vaylin accused with a small smile as Nox smirked .

" Typhojem was indeed destroyed ... physically " Nox stated as he removed his robes and armour , Placing then in Vaylin's outstretched arms , Being left in nothing but his black pants and boots .

Lowering himself down to the ground , Nox sat cross-legged with his hands place over his knees respectively . Closing his eyes and breathing in .

His chest puffing as his muscle bulged as he tensed . Vaylin watched with trepidation as black ink like glyphs started to materialise from the centre of his chest over his heart before bleeding outwards over his chest and stomach , Eventually covering his arms and legs as the glyphs flowed with ethereal twisted energies.

" But " Vaylin asked as she held his robes , Watching as Nox began to levitate , Stretching his mind out , Exerting his power through the force to encompass Korriban in it's hold .

Nox's facial features twitched ever so slightly as he probed Korriban and it's nexus through the force , Searching for his target as he began to scan the entirety of the planet in the same process .

The nexus screamed at Nox through the force as he appeared as an ethereal body of energy within the cosmic force .

CHAOS

Silence , Unbearable silence wrung in his ears as he opened his eyes , A plateau of cracked grey stone lay underneath as it shifted uneasily underfoot.

The sky was bathed in orange light as colossal statues towered in the distance , Waterfalls of sand washed down from higher up and faded into the darkness far below .

Nox himself appeared as a humanoid outline made up of swirling red and blue energy , His eyes as black as the night sky with star light pricks within , Twin purple iris scanning over the landscape before him .

The hellish landscape shook with quakes as a volcano to the south erupted . He knew where he was , He was in hell , Or chaos as some called it , The netherworld of the force where sith were condemned apon their deaths for all eternity . To suffer for the transgressions in life .

Shades haunted the lands as they wallowed in self pity , Simply floating , through the orange curtain of sand that fell from the sky , They were unaware of his presence as they simply floated by .

Pulses from an unknown source washed over the land as the sand vibrated underfoot.

Slowly raising from the ground with a hum , Nox began to levitate , His feet pointed downward slightly with his legs together .

A sweep of his arm , A shockwave resonating from the force used , Parted the sands in the atmosphere , Clearing the obscurity before him as he began his search , Tilting forward slightly as he began to move .

KORRIBAN

Night soon began to descend on the plateau that housed the Sith academy , Nox still levitating in his cross-legged position .

The creeping veil of night took moments to sweep over the lands , Plunging the environment into the suffering dark that threatened to suffocate all within .

The winds began to pick up as sand crawled from their resting place , The screeches and clicks of the wildlife of korriban rose over the land as Klor slugs rose from under the grounds intent of persuing a hunt .

The howl of a tukata alerted Vaylin to the approach of a pack of the beasts , As she gently placed Nox's armour on the ground , Reaching for her weapon as she prepared herself .

Several pairs of beady eyes reflected the light of her lightsaber as they spread out amoungst the shadowy dark .

The didn't give them the time to prepare as she leapt forward , Delving into the shadows that housed then with wicked glee , Their howls of pain echoing throughout the lands .

CHAOS

The Land expanded further than the eye could see , Floating for an indiscriminate amount of time through chaos , the occasional spirit lingering onwards with no goal in mind .

There were however some more defined than others , These ha don't forgotten whom they were , Their goals still afoot in their mind as they schemed their way out of their predicament .

These sith spirits , Refusing to fall into the hopelessness around them , Stewed in their hate as they kept the forms they held in their final moments .

Few took notice of Nox as he passed by , Even fewer attempted to overwhelm the entity they had found , Each easily dealt with by Nox like bugs before a god .

They took less effort to deal with than one would use to breath , As he continued onwards unimpeded , The pulse that vibrated the sands growing in strength as he felt himself nearing his target .

A quick telekinetic blast propelled another sith spirit in it's attempted attack , Freezing it mid air before sending it sailing into the skies with a wailing screech.

Simply ignoring all else , Nox found the way to his target , a dark path with low sweeping black clouds , Two large half destroyed kneeling statues , All that remained of the impossibly old statues being their arms and legs on all fours in what would once have been a grovelling gesture. The shades of the condemned openly avoided the opening , An instinctual fear overcoming their senses and diving them off.

Ceasing his floating , Nox let his feet touch the ground , The black mist spreading around his feet before he began his track down the path . The path itself had a thin layer of the black mist covering it's floor , with the mass swirling as he walked through its mist . The path itself , Nox noticed the oath itself dove deeper into the surface of the plane of chaos he found himself , Going into what he accurately guessed to be another layer of chaos , Under the traditional layer where the spirits of the condemned were imprisoned .

The orange tint of the higher layer eventually bled way into an obsidian path with an unknown source of light that lit the path ahead for sixty feet before simply giving way to that dark .

Nox looked over what appeared to be a mural etched into the surface of the obsidian walls , Running his hand over what was depicted to be an army of humanoids layed low by a towering creature , Their spears and primitive weapons aimed at the creature in the mural .

The next glyphs showed the beast wiping down these same humanoids with a single sweep of its gigantic limb , Razing their civilization to the ground within a mere week .

Eventually this being was revered as by a god , Amoungst many other gods these humanoids worshiped . The shining jewel in its chest , Depicted as being red in colour even on the obsidian wall with what appeared to be a blood like liquid on the centre of its chest .

The depiction of the creature , It's tentacle filled lower head , It's wings jutting from its back and overall humanoid form made Nox come to the conclusion that this mural was the depiction of Typhojem and those that worshiped it .

Nox continued down the path as he looked over the depiction of the beasts life , Until finally , The last mural saw the battle he had witnessed between the two entities Typhojem and Horliss and the death of the former . The jewel depicted on his chest was shown to have fallen from the skies of a planet unknown but depicted in the mural , And Typhojem giving shape to planets depicted in the surface of the wall .

His attention was drawn from the wall as bright neon green whisps of energy waved before him like a whip , Leading deeper into the crevasse .

A small but strong gust of wind blasted from deeper within the path , blowing through the tunnel until the surface to become a small pulse that shook the outside .

" So that's what that was " Nox mused as he came to the end of the tunnel and stopped to admire what he found .

A giant cavern constructed entirely of obsidian dropping into the expanse below .

The pathway he found himself on stopping to form a simply cliff with half of what appeared to be a sacrificial alter , However had been destroyed by the whims of time , Now simply being a destroyed ledge with half of a raised platform remaining .

Eight descending trails of neon green energy spiralled deep down below into the black abyss , Swirling together to form a whirlpool just above the congregated black mass of clouds below . The whirlpool itself once more releasing a pulse that washed over the chamber and escaping through the tunnel he had entered through .

" So that's where you are " Nox mused as he began to hover off of the ledge to float above the very centre of the whirlpool , What he identified to be a vague heartbeat of a large creature , It's breathing breaking through the boundaries of the whirlpool into the rest of chaos .

A resigned sigh escaped Nox as he let himself fall into the whirlpool , The non existent wind simply passing by as he dropped into the swirling energy , A haze overtaking his vision as he passed through .

The very existence of the other side weighed down on his shoulders , The air heavy with energy , Making the air itself viscus like water as he passed through it .

The heartbeat of the colossal figure shrouded by the environment washed through the black expanse , Vibrating the air around him with each beat .

" This is good enough " Nox extended his arms outward from his body ,The glyphs from his real body appearing on his ethereal energy made body .

Flashing purple for a single second before the effects began , a low droning howl wrung from his surroundings as his body shook , The water like air forcefully entering his body as he was forced to open his mouth .

It was akin to drowning as the energy not only entered his mouth but his nose and ears , His senses began to dull as he let the process take over , His ritual in full effect as his eyes rolled into the back of his skull .

Vaylin perked up as the nearby surface of Korriban shook , All air around Nox parting in a shockwave as a cyclone of sand spread from his position , The ground below him cratering under the pressure of his presence .

His armour was thrown away while his lightsaber remained unaffected by the wave of energy , Instead began to absorb the energy within the air into itself on its masters whims , Slowly flying towards its master before floating into his lap , Absorbing the residual energy bleeding from its maker .

Chaos shook , Eldritch statues crumbling while the whirlpool became unstable .

" MORE " Nox cried in his own mind as he vaguely took notice of the other presence within , The shade of Typhojem itself rearing from deeper within the inconceivably large expanse , It's glowing red eyes peering at Nox as he forcefully regained control of of his wayward emotions and his body as he continued to absorb the energy flowing from the creature.

The creature towered as it slowly turned to face him , Sweeping through the darkness as red lightning flashed from its form momentarily , Briefly illuminating the creature as it now fully faced him .

A bellow escaped the beast that once more shook chaos above their location before it raised its arm and made a swiping motion with its enormous arm , Said arm having the capability to split moons and swat planets to the side against its size tore through the expanse seperating Nox and the beast .

" You do not have corporeal form , You are the will of Typhojem given form harnessing his remaining power , Attempting to revive yourself , You are him and yet you are not . You are simply energy , READY FOR THE TAKING " Nox bellowed as his iris's glowed ominously withing he darkness surrounding the two .

With the arm clearing the deceptively large distance between the two , Nox moved , Clearing hundreds of kilometres in moments via a burst of speed only to narrowly avoid the bottom of the beasts hand .

" You are terribly large aren't you " Nox mused as a tether of force lightning leapt from his hand , Lighting the shadowy expanse in it's ruby glow as it sliced the lower portion of the entities arm from the rest of its body from the elbow down .

The beast fell back with a world shaking screech , Disappearing into the void of chaos below , The energy made colossal arm now floating alone in the void with Nox .

" Don't worry , you can't escape , It won't take long for me to locate you when I return , For now however , This will do " Nox regarded to Typhojem whom was no longer in his vicinity having fled deeper into the cosmic force and the limitless expanse that was chaos , Making locating the beast a difficult task .

Now alone , Nox raised his hands to the seven fingered palm of the beast , Hands flat against the energy manifest before the glyphs on his ethereal form flashed violently , The arm contorting and twisting as his palms bled into the surface , Beginning to absorb the limb of malevolent energy.

His cruel , Twisted laughs bellowed throughout chaos as the land shook far above , The laughs soon becoming less and less human in their sound , Becoming more beast like in nature as a secondary haze began to surround Nox's blue and red coloured humanoid shape.

This secondary shroud was in no way humanoid , Nor did it have any set form as it swirled around him in a shadow like bubble , Growing in intensity the more he consumed , Absorbing the limbs energy into himself , Bolstering both his real world's form and ethereal forms natural capabilities to use the force to monstrous levels as his bellow continued to shake the cosmic force around himself .

MORTIS

" Father , Should we not stop this " Eipha , More commonly known as the son cried out to his father elegast as the aged man stared out over mortis .

His sister Niphal , Or known as the daughter shared his sentiments as she too stared at their benefactor for his judgement .

The shifting of the cosmic force affecting the celestial beings as the father closed his eyes and sat back in his throne with a troubled look .

" His path has been decided by an authority we could not possibly hope to challenge , Our place is to offer guidance and steer the currents of the force " Elegast told his children as the son sneered .

" He's growing out of control father , This last action proves it , That ... that beast imprisoned in chaos was there for a reason , And now he's stolen a portion of its power , What if he hunts it for the rest of its of its essence , What then , Are we simply supposed to sit by as he becomes a threat like mother " The son bellowed at his father as the man simply stared at him with a kind hearted look .

" Son , He has been a threat of such magnitude long before today , He is fullfilling his destiny whether he realises it or not , I have foreseen it , I do not have control , That belongs to a higher power , I do not pretend to know ... it's ... wishes , But I obey . I have been gifted with vision for my obedience , He will sweep through the skyriver and ascend to levels no mortal was meant to reach . That child of the bedlam spirits will perish for good , That is guaranteed , The being known as Nox by the larger galaxy will finish his hunt for the left handed God's power .

We ... " Elegast stopped for a split moment as the currents of the cosmic force rattled mortis as the planet was plunged into night momentarily .

" Should ... father should we not challenge this " Niphal held her father's hand as tears threatened to streak down her face .

" We descended from our higher forms to this plane of existence to guide the currents of the force alongside the whills . A task given to us by a higher power , And now that same higher power has a new instrument , A plan for this instrument , A final goal in mind , And we are powerless to resist my children , We have been sidelined and forced to watch . You would do well to accept it " Elegast rose from his throne and departed the room , Stumbling in his step as the room shook .

His children watched him depart as the daughter closed her eyes is sadness while the son sneered and growled , Turning to face the disruptions in the flow of the cosmic force with a low growl .

KORRIBAN

The planet korriban shook and quaked , The crust of the planet rattled itself to pieces as continents churned .

The sand of the planet rose into the air and condensed into the atmosphere in a planet wide cyclone of sand .

Vaylin watched as a wall of sand surrounded them in a dome , Starting just on the other side of the korriban academy as it wound around to the farthest reaches of the valley of the dark lords , The roar of the wind was like an alpha predator letting loose a low rumble , All surrounding Nox at the epicentre of the cyclone as he opened his mouth to release a yell similar to the beast of Typhojem , The guttoral , Soul scarring scream shook the landscape as statues crumbled and the academy threatened to fall as the entitys feet touched the land once more , The runes on his flesh receding from view into unmarred skin as he opened his eyes , The black eyes flecked with stars house two purple iris's glowed with ethereal energies that left a trail of light as his head moved ,His maw releasing black mist that rose into the atmosphere as his teeth clenched around the mist as his scream stopped , Finally getting a rein over his roiling energies .

The rumbling of the planet slowly settling down , The planets surface permanently marred by trenches running through its continents , Lava churning at the bottom of the cavern , The planet now bearing permanent scars from the entity that walked its surface .

The cyclone of sand itself slowly dissipated as the sand once more flooded the continent of the stone planet .

Slowly Nox pulled his armour towards him with a force pull , The armour flying into his grasp from the distance , Slowly he placed his sith cultist armour over his body once more .

Vaylin studied the being before her through the force , The sheer ripple a mere movement he made tore through the current of energy surrounding them .

Previously when she would gaze at him through the force it was akin to staring at an eclipse , A sun of force energy that bathed all in it's light covered by a moon of cold dark that chilled the souls of all it raked against .

The shift had been gradual and slow , Over the past few months she hadn't gazed at him through the force , But now ... the difference between the Nox of ancient history and now ... was terrifying .

But now , Now the presence was so different she found it difficult to connect Nox with the person he was before .

Now gazing apon Nox was like staring into the heart of the cosmic force , The abyss within so inconceivably large it threatened to swallow her hole and never release her . Stars of light shone within that unfathomable abyss , Signifying the light aspect of the force he had the capability to connect with , The emotion he held chained down within himself and the power it manifested as .

The sheer power that flowed off Nox threatened to crush her underfoot as if she were an insignificant bug , It tore the world around him apart as he gazed down at her .

" Are you ... even human anymore my love " Vaylin asked as Nox knelt down to her , Cupping her face as she leant to his touch , His skin almost vibrating with the energy ripping through him , Warm to the touch on her flesh as all the hairs on her skin straightened on end .

" No ... I must be honest with you , I ceased being truly human both after my first death at the hands of thanaton , And my first visit to the mother machine , other visits saw her making me a vessel of limitless potential , fate became mine to dictate that day , I became an entity of sheer power of will , This human ... vessel I was born with and remade by the mother machine , I wear is simply a shell ... I do not need it , But it is mine to wear ... my property , It is my face , the one I identify as and others know me as ... I shall wear others , Use other shells as puppets to manifest and manipulate to get what I wish , But this " Nox motioned to himself as the sheer ripple of his power physically affected the world around him .

" Is me " Nox called his lightsaber to hand as he and his weapon connected through the force , Slowly settling the power within , Chaining down with his will as his power slowly lowered and manifested as a small trickle of power to the senses of any unaware of his true potential .

He and Vaylin however were uniquely aware of the reality warping power that he hid from the larger galaxy , Even as he hid the effects were noticeable for those who truly knew what to look for , If one were to try and sense him through the force their senses would simply wash over him , invisible to their senses completely for if he allowed a slight trickle of his power to manifest , It would draw unnecessary attention to him .

Either he would hide under a hazing cloud over an entire system , Allowing it to shroud him from the sense of others or be completely invisible to the senses of others .

To hide under a cloud of power and be potentially singled out if one of extraordinary sense capabilities were to single him out or be visible only to the naked eye and invisible to the senses of any was the predicament he found himself in , he would think of a way around this issue , But he would have to be sure of its effectiveness before using it around any populated areas.

" Do you trust me " Nox urged as he held out his hand for the kneeling Vaylin to take .

Slowly her hand rose as she stared at the being comparable to a god before her , He , The sole reason for her continued existence , The one to hold her heart , The one that placed his belief in her and promised to never abandon her .

She took his hand for all that she was worth , a resolute nod solidified her position as Nox allowed to her to rise with his help .

" With all my heart " Vaylin assured the being before her as she slowly embraced him , Taking solace in the absolute power that washed over her to embrace the woman.

" Where are we off too now " Vaylin whispered as a low buzz assaulted her ears , Opening her eyes to find the two of them within the crumbling academy upper hanger just before the ramp of the X-70 .

" There is a derelict fleet warship currently floating around the deep core for my to board and collect what I stored aboard it .

We are going to collect it , And send it at a specific Jedi I have in mind " Nox guided Vaylin up the ramp of the ship as he opened the hanger doors with a thought , Setting Vaylin down in the co-pilots seat before he himself powered up the ship , Taking the control stick in hand .

Engaging the thrusters as the ship rose up and out through the open doors that slowly closed shut against their weight once more .

The X-70 Rose through the atmosphere at breakneck speeds as a hum signified the powering up for the hyperdrive .

" Chart a course for fleet vessel warship designation 0073 " Nox ordered as he flicked several switches on the controls before him.

" Course set , Advisement of departure within thirty seconds recommended otherwise charter alteration is required " The onboard AI announced as Nox chuckled .

" No need for readjustment " Nox slid the activation for the hyperdrive forward as the stars slid across the viewport before a boom signified their departure of the korriban system , Leaving the wrecked surface of korriban to whither away against its own sands .

HK - TATOOINE

HK strut through the sand Storm that swept over the dunes of Tatooine , Brown tattered cloak obscuring the hulking droid , Protecting it from weathering from the environment . Slung over his back were three packs , His rifle and the giant blade magnetically clipped to his spine .

Walking through the remains of an unfortunate settlement , The shells of buildings wailed and creaked under the storm that struck against what remained as an unstoppable force .

Walking to the nearest decrepit building , HK entered the establishment before kneeling down over what remained of a corpse , the upper torso all that remained , The lower body apparently feasted apon by local wildlife .

Perking up at an audio disturbance in the entrance of the room , HK whirled to face the doorway , Lone visible eye shining sinisterly under the hem of his tattered cloak .

Four massifs occupied the doorway , Obviously led by the largest and oldest of the troupe as they stared HK down , The smaller ones circling to entrap HK .

The largest of the group began to snap and growl at HK in an attempt to communicate , Noticing the challenge from the leader , HK rose to full height , Just shy of the roof as his voice module replied to the beast in a placating manner .

The beast itself not being sooth leant forward and roared at HK , the other three massif performing similar stances as they prepared to crouch .

However , HK was aware that all creatures had a place on the food chain , Massif were remarkably low on that pole as they were pets more than apex predators , Tatooines Apex predators were distinct in the fact that they had four forms , A canyon krayt dragon , A greater krayt dragon and finally a subspecies commonly dubbed by locals as the lesser krayt dragon , However was no less deadly than the rest of its brethren, and then there was the mythical winged great krayt dragon , So rare that scientists believed it's bones to be a seperate species .

But HK knew better , For he and His great master Nox had once accidentally stumbled apon such a creature , And were forced to slay the beast in it's rage , This beast was not extinct as they had left it's eggs alone , To grow and birth the new young of their unique offshoot of their species .

But local wildlife knew the call of such beasts , The roars and hunting cries . And HK , With the greater winged beast cry recorded entirely , Could impersonate the beast to lower non sentient species .

And with that bit of information at his disposal , HK slammed his feet hard into the ground , Arching his back before surging his head forward .

The terrible wail of the greater winged krayt dragon swept from HK , Rocking the building as the ground shook .

The group of Massif cried and wept , Howling at the beasts cry that assaulted them , Submitting themselves before the obvious apex predator they had attempted to ambush .

The beasts held their paws over their ears in an attempt to stop the assault on their minds , appearing as small as possible in a submissive manner .

And when the beasts cry ended , HK stood straight once more as he walked towards the lead massif , Standing over the beast as it looked up at him .

With a peace of the corpse behind him in hand , HK fed the beast the meat as he knelt to it .

Staring at it in the eyes as it ate and whimpered in his presence .

With their primitive language easily accessible to HK , A series of yips and whistled escaped HK as he ordered the beast and it's lesser brothers to eat the corpse .

Not wanting to anger the higher predator , The group did what they were told and devoured what remained of the corpse .

And with a quick call to his side , The dogs joined him in his departure back into the sand Storm as he continued his hunt , Following the tracks through the town once more .

Aurra sat up as she popped the joins in her back , The sheets falling from her bed as her nude form shone a light grey in the light .

A small laugh drew her attention to Hondo , Whom himself was nude in the bed they shared as he sat up .

" Got a hunt " Hondo asked as he ran one of his fingers down the Peruvian woman's spine .

The Peruvian responded with a shake if her head as she began to dress herself in her red body suit .

" Nothing of the sorts , When this storm clears I'm going to observe the droids hunt , It must be proven that he has done it himself , So I must oversee it " Aurra grumbled at the information the broker had shared with her .

" So many rules , You don't have to go out there " Hondo stated as the Peruvian shook her head since more .

" Would you prefer we be the reason that psychopathic assassin droid , Who by the way has a mean streak a mile wide anger issues and a general lack of care for the lives of anyone , Would you prefer we be the reason he doesn't get let into the guild " Aurra reasoned to the pirate whom , Without a seconds delay sprung up from the bed towards his clothing .

" I have made a business decision , We're going to go watch a hunt " Hondo cheered as he quickly dressed himself .

HK had quickly learn that while the massif were a non sentient species , They held a rather complex method of communication .

Thus he had learnt that the dogs were survivors of a destroyed tusken raider tribe , A tribe whom had attempted to hunt down and kill his current prey for the death of a neighbouring tribe .

With another half day of walking , With the group following the tracks through the sand dunes , The sandstorm dissipating half way through their journey .

The group came onto a plateau of stone , A canyon within the dunes of of tattooine .

Dragging his tattered cloak from his metallic frame , HK primed himself for the upcoming battle as he scanned the canyon below , A series of caves littering the bottom of the crevasse .

Ordering the dogs to stay weary of their prey , HK descended the cliff with the dogs readily following their new leader , Eager to avenge their fallen clan under his instruction .

Aurra walked through the streets of Tatooine with Hondo in toe , making their way towards the bounty hunters guild.

" What the hell " Aurra muttered as she spotted a large crowd congregating at the entrance .

Muscling her way through the group of civilians , The Peruvian eventually made her way inside as she witnessed an argument with the apparent leader of the group .

" If you don't help us , We'll do it ourselves " A brown human male growled , Wearing what appeared to be farmers greaves as the others around him cheered .

" My friend , Calm yourself , We've already dispatched a hunter to deal with your target " The hunter guide soothed as the townsfolk looked at each other , shaking their heads .

" A single hunter , Against that beast , you've just sent a man to his death " The farmer growled " Are we some kind of joke to you , we gave you all the credits we could out together , and a single hunter is what you could get us "

" Its not what you think " The overseer saw Aurra and swiftly made his way towards her side " He's your charge , Your target , convince them "

" Well , We've got his location, If you're so worried why don't we go either give him back up or kill it ourselves " Aurra reasoned as the farmers looked at her questioningly .

" How do you know where he is " The lead farmer accused as he clutched his rifle .

Aurra didn't give him a reply , Simply raised her hand over her head and tapped beside the receiver positioned atop her skull .

" Well then,. Why don't you get us there , That way we can deal with a son of a bitch lest " The farmer growled as Aurra chucked and stood up .

" I can do that " Aurra purred as she sauntered through the crowd towards the entrance .

HK fastened the belt of explosives around his chest , A second overlapping making an X shape as it wrapped around his body .

Each bomb active and ready for use as they flashed in their places .

Vibro blade humming violently in the ground , Buried by the blade as it stood next to HK .

His rifle surged with energy through its systems as it was hung over his chest plate ready for use .

His jet pack primed for use as it built up energy for quick bursts .

Pods slowly slid open from his shoulder plates and back , The droid finally ready to deploy its full arsenal .

The four massif stood ready , Silent as the night as they waited for his call .

Steel cables lay buried under the sand , Connected with several more hidden explosives ready and primed throughout the canyon .

And with a quick snip and a tilt of his head , The dogs spread apart and positioned themselves throughout the rocks .

Priming his jetpack , HK let out a small whine from his systems that echoes throughout the canyon , Rebounding off the walls and into the expanse that went far underground .

The only warning HK had was the slight sinking of the sands at his feet , And even with that slight disturbance , HK lit his jetpack and soared into the air to the top of the canyon .

The explosion of sand to follow was titanic , larger than itself as the krayt dragon came from below in an attempted ambush .

Pulling his rifle forward from around his chest plate , HK let loose a volley into the open maw of the beast as it leapt into the sky .

Manuvering through the air to the right , Avoiding the snapping mouth as he passed to the right of the creatures head .

" Die meatbag " HK cheered as he charged a shot with his rifle , The eyes of the beast locking onto HK as he shot the beast next to its eye , scorching its flesh as it began to fall back to the ground .

Landing with a solid thud on-top of the ground as the dragon crashed into the ground below , it's tunnel into the deeper cavern visible below .

The dragon, In it's failed attempt sprawled out below attempted to rise back to its feet as HK used the magnetism to pull his blade forward .

The blade itself currently buried below the dragon , With a twist of his wrist rotated the vibroblade under the beast , Tearing at its side as it slid under before flying into HK's hand .

With the blade in hand , HK dropped off the ledge , Rotating through the air with his jetpack , HK neared the dragon as he violently sliced at the beast , Passing by the beast , Like a violent turbulent corkscrew .

The beast raged as it brought itself into its hind legs , Swiping at the flying droid as best it could , HK flying under the four arms of the creature .

Another series of yips escaped HK as the massif's went to work , Leaping from their positions as they grabbed a buried cable , Two on each side of the dragon as they attempted to trip the beast by running under its legs with the thick steel rope .

Running around the creatures legs to loop twice , The creature completely unaware as it focussed on the flying HK .

Reaching the apex of his flight , HK levelled himself out , Facing the beast below as it stared back up at him .

another small yip forced the four massif to flee back to the cliff face , The explosives buried in the cable activating and exploding under the legs of the creature .

With the dragon collapsing back to the ground , HK dropped like a comet towards its head , Vibro blade overhead as he attempted to Pearce it's skull .

As he slammed into the beast , The force buried the blade of his weapon halfway to the hilt before It was forced to a stop .

Letting go of the weapon , HK grabbed two grenades from the belts around his chest and lobbed them at the snout of the beast.

" Is this it " Aurra asked as she looked at the congregated farmers , Several speeders loaded with supplies , Explosives and rifles .

" When will you be back " Two little girls wrestled out of the grip of their elder brother , Running towards the leader of the troupe of farmers .

The man knelt down to his little girls , Enveloping them in his arms as they shook .

" I'll be back soon sweeties " The elder man smiled at his daughters , The smallest pulling at his grey whiskers on his chin .

" Promise " The brown haired girl asked with wide eyes as he hefted his children up .

" Before you know it " The man placed his forehead against both of his daughters as their elder brother approached " Go now , Wait with your brother "

The man gave his daughters to his son , The young man taking them in his arms as their father grabbed his hat from his head and placed it on his sons head .

" You get that son of a bitch " The boy told his father as the aged man nodded .

" For your mother " The aged farmer turned away from his children , Wiping the sweat from his face as he lifted himself onto the speeder .

Aurra watched all this with a glare , Most of the farmers and workers present were parting with their children or loves ones before their company left back towards their temporary accommodation .

" You're a good lier " Aurra whispered into the aged farmers ear as he watched his children leave the scene .

" They don't need to know they'll probably never see me again " The man replied as his children turned a corner and left .

" That they dont ... that they don't " Aurra leant back as the other finally hopped into their designated speeders ready to depart .

" Let's get going , Daylights a wasting " The leader yelled out before the convoy quickly departed .

ENROUTE TO THE DEEP CORE

His annoyance was building , Reaching out towards a crate before him , Nox snarled as the crate was simply crushed and warped until it resembled a small ball of steel .

" Love " Vaylin entered the room as Nox yelled , Stamping is foot as lightning surged from his arm unconsciously , Obliterating what remained of the warped steel " what's going on "

Nox growled as he got down onto his knees , Closing his eyes as the force nearly instantaneously once more submitted itself to his will .

" I need to regulate it , I'm drawing apon too much too quickly , It's unstable , Too much power too quickly . Leave me , I must concentrate " Nox all but ordered as began to meditate .

" As you wish " Vaylin bowed as she departed the room , Feeling her loves annoyance through the force , Deciding to maintain the ship during their trip .

TATOOINE

Explosions rocked the canyon HK fought in , The massif's sprinting around as they repeatedly leapt at the side of the dragon .

The dragon itself raising it's arm and slamming down where HK stood , The droid leaping to the side to narrowly avoid the strike .

Raising it's blaster once more , HK charged shot after shot , Striking the raging beast in it's hide .

Only now able to use four of its six eyes , The creature began to charge forward in an attempt to kill the droid under its weight .

Activating his Jetpack , HK unleashed a salvo of rockets and bombs at the droid as it slammed into the side of the canyon .

The missiles hitting the creature soon after , Resulting in a colossal explosion that shook the lands underfoot .

" What the hell was that " One of the farmers on the convoy asked as Aurra brought up her binoculars to see what was going on .

" Well we found our droid " Aurra chuckled as Hondo took the binoculars from her to see .

" Holy shit that droid can fight " Hondo cheered as they heard the roar of the Krayt dragon , Watching as it climbed from the top of the canyon , Shaking its head as HK held onto its head , Stabbing it repeatedly with his vibro blade .

" Stop the convoy " Aurra ordered as the pilot looked at her as if she was crazy .

" Stop ... the convoy , This is his fight " Aurra growled as the man piloting stopped the lead speeder , Forcing the others to pull up beside them .

" Why are we stopping , It's right there " The elder farmer yelled out as Aurra pointed forward .

" This is his test , We cannot interfere unless necessary " Aurra yelled out at the elder ground his teeth , The entire group pulling out binoculars to watch incase they needed to interfere .

With another wack of his blade , The blade itself sunk into the eye of the Krayt dragon, Causing the beast to release a bellow of rage .

Letting do of the now stuck blade , HK clamped onto the side of the beasts skull as it used it's remaining eyes to glare at the droid .

" Declaration,. Die " HK yelled as he punched one of the three remaining orbs.

I it's rage , the creature raked against the side of its body with its arm , Gouging out flesh as it tore plates off itself , Running up its neck and punting HK into the air .

Left arm useless as it sparked , HK ignored the now useless appendage as he stabilised himself in the air .

" Statement , This grows tedious " HK growled as explosives mounted to his chest activated as he glared down at the monster .

The monster itself looked upward towards the flying HK , Baring it's teeth before standing on its hind legs in an attempt to reach the droid .

Looking upwards HK Rocketed high into the sky , The farmers watching him ascend with a whistle .

The roar of his rockets easily heard by his sensors , HK once more levelled out , The canyon tiny in appearance below .

The sound of a slow buildup , Resonating from his chest plate where the explosives were located .

" Declaration , Your end is nigh " HK aimed straight down as his rocket pack groaned in protest .

The wind impacted against his plates , His useless left arm rattling before simply tearing from his body as HK propelled himself towards the canyon .

Using his remained arm , HK grabbed the explosives on his chest and brought them forward ahead of his head .

The krayt dragon on the ground stared up as it once more caught sight of HK far above , The massif already having departed the scene , Awaiting at the top of the canyon as they too watched HK in his descent .

Aurra let loose a whistle of her own, Lowering her head as HK slammed into the dragon , A colossal explosion obscuring the vision of the group as the canyon exploded outwards .

Taking out her rifle , Aurra surveyed the risen cloud of soot and sand as she looked through its scope .

" Did he get it " The elder farmer asked as the debris cloud began to settle .

With the cloud clearing , Aurra chuckled as she saw what remained of the dragon , What she observed to be a puncture hole in it's abdomen , blown open by HK when he slammed into it .

Its stomach blow open , Hind legs adjacent to its body .

Acid sunk from its maw as the beast groan in its final moments of its life .

" Move forward " Aurra yelled out as they began their approach .

approaching the krayt dragon caused many of those present to plug their noses at the smell wafting from its body .

With the entering what remained of the canyon , The group slowed and powered down . Quickly hopping out of their speeders and running towards the slowly dying creature .

" Take that you piece of shit " The elder farmer hobbled towards the dragon , Shooting what remained of the creature over and over as tears streamed down his face , His blaster eventually running out of energy as it's cartridge ran low on gas .

The man himself slowly dropped to the ground as he simply stared ahead , Taking in the sight of the beast as it's breath finally left its body .

Aurra walking forward with Hondo and the bounty hunter overseer observed what appeared to be a group of massif chewing on the insides of the beast .

" Where is he " The overseer asked as they stopped before the large beasts open stomach.

" I'll find him " Climbing up and into the monster , Aurra activated a torch to look around , Gargling noises as gasses escaped the inside of the stomach .

Quickly putting her hand over her nose , It didn't take long for Aurra to find HK .

The droid silent and immobile as it hung from some of the monsters intestines , It's eyes having no glow with both of its arms now destroyed .

Its armour charred and burned mad a hole in its chest .

Making sure nobody was looking , Aurra reached out and pulled HK forward with the force , Grabbing the droid by its shoulders before dragging it to the outside .

" FOUND HIM " Aurra yelled out as she toppled over with what remained of HK's chassis .

" In the name of " Hondo began as HK fell on him , Putting him on his arse .

Sitting up and running his head , Hondo looked over the deactivated droid before pushing it off .

" Soooo what do we do now , It's just scrap " Hondo kicked at the body of HK before jumping back as the droid shook momentarily .

" You were saying " Aurra chuckled as she watched HK slowly power on once again .

Slowly sitting itself up , HK looked over its arms before looking dejected at what remained . Slowly standing to its feet , The droid towered over them and looked down to them .

" Well , It is my pleasure to welcome you to the bounty hunters guild " The overseer announced uneasily as the droid regarded the group silently , It's remaining eye peering at the ominously .

A whistle escaped HK as the massif perked up and sprinted towards HK , Barging through some of the farmers before sitting around HK .

" Declaration , I look forward to working with you , However , I am currently in need of repairs , please Allow me some time to perform these repairs before we continue onwards " HK asked as the overseer nodded .

" Thank you " A heavily crying farmer grabbed HK and hugged the droid , A blob of snot bursting from the man's nose while HK slowly looked at the overseer as the man chuckled .

" Let's get you back , Yous staying " The overseer asked as aurra shook her head , Grabbing Hondo to drag him back towards their speeder .

" We're coming " Aurra mumbled as HK stepped into the speeder with the group of massif leaping up to sit next to the droid .

" But the pearl " Hondo yelled in protest at being dragged away .

CORUSCANT

Palpatine paced within his meditation chamber deep within his secret laboratory on Coruscant .

His hate palpable and heavy on the world around him , Dispersed and muted by relics littered around the lab .

Peering into the force , Trying to discern the future , Was incredibly difficult to perform , But with his training and skill , He could peer into the near future to guide his actions into what he wished .

Anakin Skywalker , The prophesied chosen one of the Jedi order , To being balance of the force . The boy would make the perfect apprentice in the future , To turn him against the Jedi to be the ultimate being .

Palpatine thought of all the ways he could turn Anakin , But no matter what he envisioned , It would always be that blasted Jedi master that either halted his plans and efforts , Or revealed him .

No ... No that would not do , The Jedi master would have to die , It was how to go about it that was the problem .

And before long , An answer was provided .

Yes , His feathery acolyte was growing bold , Sure in her belief that she had leant all he had to offer , And he foresaw her upcoming betrayal . But that was abit down the line before she became arrogant , And easily manipulated until that time .

Yes .. he would use her , Allow the blasted Qui-gon to train Anakin until they formed a true bond , And then tear it apart , That would be his first step of turning Anakin into the perfect apprentice.

His second target came to mind as he thought of his plans , The older sister of Anakin, She was controlled by her emotions , Holding them on her sleeve , She had rage , Plenty of it but also held alot of love . He would have to work hard , Be careful in her manipulations as she seemed to be uniquely perceptive , And very dangerous if what he senses from her was true , But the reward far outweighed the risks just as it did with

Anakin , Afterall he likes a challenge , And the siblings provided just that .

Yes , He would have then both .

JEDI TEMPLE

Anakin watched as the rest of the bear clan practiced together , Using their training sabers as the children trained .

" You're not going to join them " The familiar voice of a man caused Anakin to divert his attention .

Obi-Wan kenobi stood beside the rack holding training sabers , Leaning against the wall with a kind gaze .

" I ... " Anakin began as Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow .

" You can be honest with me Anakin " Obi-Wan knelt down as Anakin clenched his hands .

" They don't pick me " Anakin quietly admitted as Obi-Wan looked over the rest of the bear clan .

" Hmm , How about this , You can practice with me " Obi-Wan offered as Anakin looked shocked at the offer .

" Bu...bu...but " Anakin stuttered as Obi-Wan playfully looked around .

" Of course if you don't want to " Obi-Wan began as Anakin rapidly shook his head .

" No ... I'd love too " Anakin rushed forward to collect a training Saber to use , Obi-Wan watching him leave with a small chuckle , Feeling eyes on him before looking towards an overlooking balcony .

The approving Qui-gon smiled down at Obi-Wan with a small smile , A blue feathered humanoid named vergere standing next to the Jedi as they conversed with dooku standing on the other side of Qui-gon .

Feeling a pull of his hand , Obi-Wan looked back to Anakin as the young boy excitedly guided him to a sparring area .

" Okay , First of all you're holding it wrong " Obi-Wan started as Anakin looked surprised " Like this "

Obi-Wan guided anakin's hands along the hilt to a proper grip as the boy looked thankful .

" Now show me what you got "

" You planned this didn't you " Dooku stated as Qui-gon looked down proudly .

" I sent Obi-Wan down there yes " Qui-gon admitted as vergere shook her head .

" Shouldn't he be training with his clan "

Vergere asked , The Jedi Knight secretly glaring at the young Skywalker .

However the bird like Jedi's eyes widened at the hate she felt slowly approaching from behind , Qui-gon and dooku looking troubled before Qui-gon slowly chuckled .

" Ever the mother hen " Qui-gon turned to face the scowling Kanya as she walked towards them from the entrance of the temple .

" If I don't look out for him nobody will " The woman asked as she brushed beside the blue feathered vergere .

" I don't think that's true " Qui-gon motioned towards the training area below as Kanya caught Obi-Wan instructing her younger brother .

A small tsk escaped Kanya's lips as she gazed at both vergere and dooku through the force .

Interestingly enough , She could feel the taint of the dark on both , Vergere positively reeked of the Darkside , Burying it under a cloak of the lightside while dooku himself seemed to be stained but not deep enough within it to be a dark lord .

" It wouldn't be a problem if those Padawan's weren't so ... " Kanya could barely hold the sneer she felt as she glanced at the bear clan .

" They just need time " Qui-gon soothed as the girl turned to face him , Her eyes flashing momentarily , Causing both Qui-gon and dooku to become guarded after seeing this .

" I heard them calling him a slave ... I don't think that needs ... time " Kanya but before turning her heated glare at vergere who looked unsure " What "

" Who are you " Vergere whispered out , Playing a submissive tone to hide her true hate , She however found herself pinned by the eyes of a sith , Hidden by the locks of her hair from the other Jedi, Not just a flash but held fully in her control .

" The sister of Anakin Skywalker " Kanya sneered as Vergere wilted under he gaze " Now if you'll excuse me , This is my last day here for the foreseeable future , I would prefer to spend it with Anakin "

Watching the woman depart , Qui-gon debated letting the woman be around Anakin in her current mood , But decided it would be detrimental to everyone should he attempt to seperate the duo .

" That was " Dooku began as he looked to Qui-gon .

" Worrying " The old apprentice finished as dooku nodded .

" If you'll excuse us , I to am leaving back to serenno , I have some things to talk to Qui-gon about " Dooku guided Qui-gon with a hand on his shoulder .

" Sure thing " Vergere glared before turning back to the training ground with a hateful glare , Only to catch eyes with Kanya who pinned her to the spot before causing her to flee .

DEEP CORE

The derelict warship floated through the solar storms , Systems barely functioning as it drew energy from its surroundings , The Gemini droid guiding the ship safely through the hazardous environment .

The X-70 Flew through a solar flare, Protected by Vaylin as she shielded the ship from the hazardous outburst .

" This is high justice Vaylin , Transmitting landing codes , Prepared the be boarded " Vaylin relayed as she sent the disignated codes to the warship ahead before the Gemini droid opened a hanger for the ship to enter .

" Welcome high justice , The ship is ready to receive you " The Gemini unit told Vaylin as she took manual control of the ship , Flying through the hazardous space and into the shielded hanger of the ship .

Gently putting the ship down ,The hiss of the landing gear below signifying their landing , Rising from the pilots seat , Vaylin left the bridge and made way towards the cargo hold .

Stopping at the arch to the cargo hold , Vaylin took a breath before entering .

" We've arrived " Vaylin announced as she observed the hovering crates rotating slowly around the concentrating Nox .

Slowly the crates were lowered to the ground , Clanging onto the floor before Nox rose from his knees .

" Very well " With a swipe of his hand , The cargo hold was rearranged , Stacking everything store within against the wall to leave room for what they were collecting .

" I apologise for my outburst earlier , My ... Predicament was frustrating me " Nox apologised as he and Vaylin walked down the ramp of the ship , Holding out his right and as an impossibly dense ball the size of his palm hovered before it began to rotate around his hand , Controlled by the force as he concentrated on keeping it a few centimetres from coming into contact with his skin .

" There is nothing you have to apologise for , Besides , I forgive you " Vaylin leaned up and planted a kiss on his cheek before they returned their attention to the two skytrooper units ready to escort them .

" Takes us to the Cryo bay " Nox ordered as the skytroopers let out an affirmative before beginning the trek through the ship .

" Cryo bay " Vaylin asked as Nox looked around at the sorry state the ship was in . Beams hung from the room , Circuits were exposed within and leaks were evident .

" As I said , This ship was made to guard what I stored here , And only that in mind . There are no organic lifeforms aboard , It draws power in from the stars around us and has been here for the last few thousand years . The Gemini unit deserves a reward for performing her duty to well " Nox regarded as they passed door , Collapsed beams blocking it from use as the door itself was sealed .

" What is the status of the ship " Nox looked at a nearby camera as the Gemini answered over comms .

" The ship is in a deteriorated state , Hazardous surroundings have weathered the plating of the ship down and affected internal systems . outer defence systems are running in sub optimal conditions , Reactors are relying on solar power . Two out of three skytrooper production facilities have been shut down . Decommissioning is advised " The Gemini sent the remaining data to the X-70 for further study .

" And of the cargo " Nox asked as the skytroopers took a right down another hallway , A hiss being heard at oxygen escaping through a small crack in a window .

" Cryo bay is running at one hundred percent , Both pods are unharmed and are running with no issues , They are being prepped for transport as we speak " Nox nodded his head at what he was hearing .

" Prepare to disembark from your current holdings , We will transport the pods , You meet us on our ship and prepare to skuttle what remains of this ... vessel " He ordered as they came to their final turn , The doors to a guarded hallway opening with a mist in the air , Cold hitting both Nox and vaylin's features as frosting was seen on the walls .

" Soo , What's in here " Vaylin asked as the door to the room opened , A fresh squad of trooper units were seen operating two Cryo pods , Manuvering them onto their backs where they began to hover .

" Why don't you take a look " Nox stated as he took a data pad handed to him by the leading trooper unit , Scrolling through its contents as he squinted at what was on screen , What appeared to be the diagram of two seperate people on the top right of the screen before tapping them to enlarge the first of the diagrams .

Approaching the nearest Cryo pod , Vaylin ran her hand over the glass of the pod , Onto to retract her hand from the glass as if struck as she took a step back .

" How " Vaylin asked as she turned to Nox who simply chuckled .

" With alot of very intelligent people and the hand of a certain machine , Get them to the ship " Nox replied before ordering the skytrooper units who obeyed his orders without question .

" Let's get off this thing " Nox departed followed by an ever curious Vaylin as she attempted to look at the datapad he held in his hands and he had his arms behind his back as he walked .

TATOOINE

HK dragged himself along the sands of tatooine through mos espa , His massif helping him along as his secondary powercell ran low , Leaking energy into the atmosphere as he spied his destination .

Aurra watched from afar as she followed the now droid bounty hunter , Curious at his destination as she watched him approach some sort of homestead , Flags she didn't recognise handing from its features while white armoured guards patrolled .

She watched as the droid collapsed to its knees before faceplanting , Drawing the attention of the patrolling guards as the massif began to drag HK towards the homestead .

Stopping as she took out her macro binoculars , Aurra discovered that the guards weren't human or organic but bulky looking droids the largest hoisting HK into its arms before marching into what she assumed to be a homestead ,A man and a woman coming out from within to observe the droids as they parted for HK to enter , The massif following close behind .

" What the hell do we have here " Aurra purred as she noted the flag down , Her curiosity peaked at the unknown faction before her .

" Hello " The voice of shmi Skywalker announced her arrival as the hulking chassis of HK being worked on by a trio of unique repair droids , Running around fetching anything the blueprints provided to them required.

" Greetings , I am HK 51 , How may I help you " HK turned to the human woman as she looked over his repairs .

" Are you Uhhh " Shmi was unsure of how to word her question , HK himself , Predicting her questions relayed the answer before she could ask .

" The property of his lord Obrunik " HK announced as she nodded slightly .

" I thought so " Shmi mumbled as a racket was heard behind her as a droid followed .

" Greetings , I am C3 PO , Human cyborg relations , I heard you are named HK-51 , It is a pleasure to meet you " The grey exposed droid announced as it wobbled under its own weight .

" A fellow conversationalist , the pleasure is all mine " The deep intimidating voice of HK froze cleigg as he passed by , The man peeking in before scurrying off , Sure of his lover's safety but not wanting to be near the hulking droid .

" Oh my , How ever did you receive those damages " 3PO asked as HK looked over the droid with an analytical gaze .

" During combat with a krayt dragon , I was damaged and came by the nearest Zakuulan embassy , Here , For repairs " HK told the droid as Shmi let out a gasp at the information , The repair droids finishing welding on a new right arm for HK as he began to assist in his own repairs " Please , Provide me the tools required for me to repair my main power cell "

With his request the repair droids quickly gave what was requested as his fingers split open to reveal several tools before he began to alter his innards .

" By the maker , How could you do something like that without worry " 3PO asked as HL tore out the last power cell , Tossing what remained into the corner before beginning to fit in the new one , Sparks flying from Inside his armour as he welded it in place , Connecting the wiring with the rest of his body .

Shmi watched in curiosity as HK finished his most urgent repairs on his main power cell , Watching the droid place a new guard over the cells , Welding them into place as the cells began to provide the precious power He needed .

" Crisis averted " HK announced as his second arm was constructed and joined the rest of his body .

Flexing both of his newly repaired arms , HK instructed the droids to fix the secondary power cell and the rest of his chassis before he delved into conversation with both Shmi and 3PO .

Once the repairs were completed ,HK stood to his full height causing Shmi to step back in fright as 3PO looked over HK in curiosity .

" Does that not bother you " HK asked both Shmi and 3PO in reference to the translator droids lack of covering .

" My maker was unable to finish his work before being taken in by the Jedi order , I have been left in this sorry state ever since " 3PO lamented in sorrow as HK pondered .

" With you permission lady Shmi , Would I be able to complete C3PO's chassis , I have several blueprints in my systems pertaining to protocol droids that fit his current form " HK asked as Shmi thought for a few minutes , 3PO looking to her at what she would say .

" I see no harm in it , But please , Nothing that will give me and cleigg a fright " Shmi gave her permission as HK nodded .

" Thank the maker , My saving grace " 3PO excitedly shuffled forward into the repair room , Trusting his fellow droid to have his best intentions in mind .

" Lay down , I shall provide schematics for you to choose " HK started as he gave a design for both Shmi and 3PO to choose .

" Oh my " Shmi scrolled through what was provided , Picking a few she approved on before passing them for 3PO to pick the final design .

" That one please my friend " 3PO pointed to which he watched before laying down , HK motioning to the repair droids , giving them a new job to provide him with what exactly he instructed he needed.

" This may take some time , Please be patient " HK announced as he began to tweak with 3PO's current form .

" My life is in your hands " 3PO shut himself down as he became motionless , Eager to awaken complete for the first time in his existence .

SOMETIME LATER - AEOS PRIME

Sifo dyas walked through the dark , Following the guidance of the force , Having decided not to board the shuttle off of the dessert moon of oba dia and instead onto another ship to which the force called him .

The ship to his curiosity held no pilot and had landed him here , On AEOS prime where he was received by the tall humanoid sentient species on the planet .

But he could still feel the pull of the force , Pulling him out for their cities and into the far off mountains , Which was where he found himself now , Braving the wilds as winds blew down the mountain sides , Snow crunching underfoot as he held his arm over his eyes .

His robes billowed behind him as night descended apon him and temperatures dropped far below what he could survive in for extended periods of time .

" I need a cave " Sifo blurted as he looked around , And sure enough not too far up the cliff he was walking beside , A black obscured cave , And with a leap , The Jedi stood within the entrance of said cave , Winds suddenly picking up .

Rubbing his arms , Sifo walked further into the cave to avoid the cold , Stepping beside large boulders and rocks before he picked up an orange glow reflecting off the side of some of the rocks .

" Is this cave occupied " Sifo wandered in confusion as he peeked out from behind the entrance to small cavern .

A campfire within the middle of the cave , A small mat not too far from said campfire while sat atop a rock , Back turned to him was a brown haired individual garbed in simple long pants , White long sleeve Shirt with a brown leather chest holster with a blaster evidently in place .

Sifo watched the brown haired individual apparently eating something by the way his head moved .

Carefully as not to alert them , Sifu reached out with the force , Only to nearly fall back as he was almost blinded by the light he was staring at .

A supernova within the force striking him with its warmth sat before him , Bathing all in it's endless light .

He was in awe as he stared , His hand slipping , Knocking a small unstable rock from the wall , Impacting the ground and letting out a loud pang as it impacted the ground .

The brown haired individual turned to face Sifo , Revealing a youth with soft features and a strong jawline , Around the age of sixteen or seventeen , Long strands of hair not unlike knight kenobi's , Bluish green eyes stared at Sifo in surprise and curiosity .

With an unsure Yelp , The youth grabbed the blaster on his chest and took aim at Sifo .

Sifo looked to the force for guidance , And was not too surprised at what he was offered , The thing he had been searching for stood before him, Alert and unsure as he shakily pointed his blaster at Sifo .

" Who are you " A strong voice hiding the fear evident within the young man as the blaster shook .

" I am master Sifo Dyas , Of the Jedi order , I had to look for refuge from the snow storm outside when I stumbled pin your cave " Sifo diffused the situation as he took out his lightsaber , Placing it on the ground and sliding it across the ground towards the youth in peace .

Fumbling to pick up the lightsaber , The youth looked over the weapon in curiosity , Emitter pointed at his eye , Sifo hoping he didn't impale himself in the process .

The youth quickly lost interest in the hilt before simply tossing it to the far corner of the room .

" I just need somewhere to rest until the blizzard passes " Sifo soothed as the youth squinted at him in obvious distrust .

" Fine , But If you do anything I'll put a hole in your head " The youth snapped before motioning Sifo to the fire much to the man's relief .

Sitting down near the fire , Deciding to heat his hands next to the fire , The brown eyed Jedi master observed the youth who sat back down and returned to eating a recently , Evidently the wing of a krakavora .

" Mind if I have some " Sifo asked as he motioned towards the rest of the cooked reptile . His only response was a shrug as the youth continued to eat , The Jedi gently pulling off the other wing and taking a bite .

" Tell me young one , What is your name " Sifo asked as the youth looked at him with a raised eyebrow .

" Vas'lucis " The boy squinted as he slowly gave his answer .

In response to hearing the name , Sifo was given the most profound vision he had ever been blessed with , His vision fading to white as he felt a sensation of falling .

Sifo stood up , Pain ringing over his face as he scrambled to his feet , What he saw horrified him , His biggest fear playing out ahead of him .

A mountain of Jedi , People he had grown up with , His master , Dooku , Yoda , Windu , Ki adi mundi ... all of them , Thousands lay before him , Piled on-top of each other as sinister cackling assaulted his ears .

A flash of blue obscured his vision , Blinding him as he covered his eyes .

He was able to reopen them once it calmed down , To find himself in a new setting , One familiar to him , So familiar he could recall it's halls with the back of his hand .

kkkrrrrrr khhssshhh * The hiss of synthetic breathing wrung in his ears , Along with the striking of several lightsabers , Causing Sifo to turn and witness something the visions of the force had never given him ... hope .

A monolith of the dark , Skull like helmet covering it's head with black armour. , Cape draped over its shoulders with a flashing box of controls on its chest .

Red lightsaber in it's hand as it fought what he could only see as an older Vas'lucis .

The brown haired man having Sifo Dyas necklace wrapped around his neck , Blue lightsaber warding off the dark monoliths own synthetic blade as other dark siders joined the dark ones side .

A youth with a buzz cut and armour similar to the monoliths forked lightning from his hands , Vas'lucis batting the lightning to a third Darksider , A grey skinned pau'un with a double bladed lightsaber being struck by the lightning and forced away .

" With killing you , We will kill the last Jedi " A fourth sneered , A mirialam with green skin and a triangle looking helmet on her head .

" No ... " Was the simple reply given as Sifo was gifted with further vision , The dark siders disappearing as many appeared by Vas'lucis side .

A sandy blond haired man with black clothing , A robotic right hand and a green bladed lightsaber stood by Vas'lucis side along side a girl with brown hair and white clothing , Alderaanian in nature as her hair was features to braid around the top of her head , Blue lightsaber in hand as she stood on the other side of Vas'lucis .

Behind them an innumerable amount of green and blue lightsabers ignited from the light given to them by the grown haired man .

" With me the Jedi will never die " Vas'lucis leapt forward into the Frey as he disappeared from the vision to engage the group of Darksiders .

As the rest of the vision faded , Sifo cried , Not out of sorrow , Pain or anguish . But out of happiness , For so long he had been plagued by visions of a future he trembled at .

And here , Infront of him , Gifted by the force for his servitude , Was he given a chance , A chance to save the galaxy , A chance to safeguard the future even if his first plan failed .

And for the first time in a long time , Hope blossomed in the Jedi master's chest , His oath laid before him , He steeled himself for what he must do , He would not fail , For if he did , The cost was catastrophic .

Once he came back to his senses , Sifo looked towards the hope of the future who was looking at him with a raised eyebrow .

" Sorry did you say something " Sifo asked sheepishly as the teen squinted but asked his question once more anyway .

" Why are you out here " Vas'lucis asked as Sifo carefully thought of an answer .

" Do you ... know what the force is " Sifo asked as the teen shook his head " It's an energy field , generated by all living things , It surrounds and binds us all . Nobody can truly understand it . But some can effect this forcefield and in turn be effected by this same energy . They are far and in between , But capable of much . They like me , if strong enough ... can be guided by the force to perform duties in its name "

" And ... that doesn't answer my question " The teen crossed his legs and glared at the Jedi master .

" It guided me to this world , Pulled me from the populated areas and into these mountains " Sifo hinted to the teen who shrugged .

" Don't know what it would want you to find up here " The teen disregarded the hint and layed back .

" I have a fair idea , I must ask , Where are your family " Sifo asked as the teens face darkened , Causing the Jedi master's face to wince .

" You can find them in the corner of the cave , I'm tired now , Goodnight " Vas'lucis finished as he unfolded the bedroll before laying down , Saying no more as he closed his eyes and fell asleep .

Sifo looked to where the teen had motioned , Standing up and walking towards three small mounds of dirt .

" Oh " Sifo knelt down and put his hand over what was obviously three graves " I'm so sorry "

Giving a prayer to the deceased , Sifo vowed to not let their lives be wasted in vein , Looking towards the obviously hurting teen with a softened gaze , His eyes steel in their determination .

" I'll give him a new purpose , A true purpose , I promise you this " Sifo whispered as he walked back to his spot , Sitting down and looking at the teen as he fumbled his necklace in thought.

NATHEMA

Nox opened his eyes with a sinister glint , A smirk playing his lips as he rose from his laying position in his bed within his chambers .

" Are you having any trouble " Vaylin purred as she ran her slender fingers along his chest .

" It was difficult at first , But with alot of effort and practice , I've got it down pat .

I'm currently sleeping in a cave at the moment , Not the most comfortable but it'll do since it's succeeding so far " Nox told the high justice as she pushed him down onto the bed , Placing herself on-top of the emperor as she layed kisses along his neck and chest .

" Well it would have been fun to have the second you here , But this will do " Vaylin purred as she reached down under the blankets .

" Those are some interesting ideas you have there , Don't worry I could organise it if you wish , It's interesting , Seeing you from two perspectives at once , Not to mention the noises you make " Nox chuckled as the woman let loose a moan , before slamming down onto Nox , Both of their forms hidden by the white sheets draped over the two .

" Tease " Vaylin whispered as she drooled slightly before being grabbed by Nox , The two dropping into their carnal desires .
