"The fires of hate, never have I seen a fire so strong that it could burn through anything... including other flames,"
-Unnamed Jedi
(Long ago)
(On in the ruins of a Jedi temple in the outer rim)
"I sense someone far more powerful nearby. Where is your master?"
"The Darkside has clouded your mind. You killed my master years ago,"
"And now you will share his fate!"
Before he could strike down the Jedi his saber was taken from his hand and into the hands of a child seemly surprising the new dark lord of the sith.
"A son?"
"RUN!"
By closing his fist Vader simply crushed the Jedi's throat with little effort, the former Jedi knight looked at the child watched as the sith killed his father. Something deep in Vader's mind was opened he had slaughtered children before but this... something that he never felt before when becoming the machine he now echoed through his mind.
Standing before the scared child holding out his hand to try and claim the child down through the force the remaining forces of the 501st entered. The officer and the non-clone stormtroopers entered the ruins of the temple as the officer still was recovering from when Vader choked him for his lack of progress on the rebels.
"Lord Vader!"
The officer then spotted the child before he then stood next to Vader and the stormtrooper lined up into a firing squad to kill the child because of his parents being Jedi. Turning to the child Vader then glared behind his mask before using the force to retake his saber and as the officer gave the order with a few moments of screaming from the troopers Vader had killed the hand full of men. Confused the child looked up at Vader as he placed his saber onto his belt and went to the child holding out his hand to the young boy.
"Come with me more will be here soon,"
The boy held the cyborg's hand as Vader pulled him up carrying him as if the child was his own son... one that he thought was dead.
(Many years later)
Vader stood in his castle on the palace where he was reborn in the flames of hate as many medical droids stood over the medical slab as blood covered their tools as for once it wasn't him on the medical slab. Vader looked down at the being on the slab as the greatly spliced and changed the body of the child that he took so long ago had been altered on the cellar level.
The child stopped screaming after the first year as the pain only fueled his power slowly shaping the child into what he is today. Sith alchemy and genetic splicing had turned the child into the perfect assassin entuned to the dark side along with the years of programming of how his parents abandoned him and it was though Darth Vader he was able to survive making him a truly hateful creature to the Jedi.
Officially in the empire as an inquisitor, he was secretly Vader's apprentice the key to overthrowing the emperor and having Vader take his revenge and finally putting the galaxy at peace.
Never once did the child fail Vader completely every task given to him and doing it without question and even bested his 'fellow inquisitors' in combat and almost killed the grand inquisitor for getting in his way. He never hated Vader for the pain he has was for the Jedi because what he is now is their fault and how they treated his master while he was still a Jedi.
The Jedi forbid emotion...
They even forbid love.
If Vader didn't know better he could swear his apprentice hated the Jedi more than he did.
The medical droids finished their work on the inquisitor as he got off the medical slab that was drenched in his blood as the sith apprentice knelt down to Vader.
"What is your bidding my master?" The former child asked.
"I have received reports from my spies that the crime lord is known as Jabba the Hutt has killed and a new being is in his place at the Hutt empire. You are to go to Tatooine and make sure our understanding with this Bib Fortuna will agree to follow the contract that Jabba agreed to when the empire was formed,"
"And if he refuses," The young sith asked.
"Kill him,"
"It will be done, my master,"
(Hours later)
(Tatooine)
Sand...
Why does it always have to be sand?
Guess you can say like master, like apprentice.
(No sand jokes from you guys this was the only one now it's been said)
Still, at least he didn't have to walk far the imperial shuttle landed in Jabba's palace hangar bay as a protocol droid to expecting to greet Darth Vader. The protocol droid was followed by two of the hog-like alien guards that now work for the new boss Bib Fortuna.
"Welcome to Fortuna's palace Darth Va-" The droid was puzzle upon seeing who exited the craft as a similar-looking figure walked down the ramp. "You're not Darth Vader,"
"My master has sent me in his place," The muffled voice of the mirrored helmet he wore looked at the droid.
"Than I'm sorry the great and power Bib Fortuna will only speak with Darth Vader you'll have to come back later," The droid told the sith apprentice looked at the droid.
"Is that so?"
"Yes I-"
Before the droid could finish the droid's escorting guard's necks snapped backward shocking the droid, the droid then turned to the sith as he spoke.
"Take me to Bib Fortuna unless you want to join those two," The sith demanded as the droid nodded.
"Right this way,"
The droid guided the sith as the droid actually felt fear deep in its code for fear of being destroyed how quickly he dealt with the two guards. Going down the stairs the two entered the main chamber as music filled the air as the exotic dancers moved while the scum of the galaxy was high on drugs making the sith sick. He couldn't wait for the day to burn this palace to the ground when the empire would finally bring their fist down once the second death star was completed and the rebellion was left in ruins.
"No please," Snapping out of his trace the sith watched as Bib Fortuna held a dancer trying to 'get closer' to the alien that the sith never has seen before.
The sith snarled, he hated slavery another reason why this slime was going to burn with the rest of the criminal underworld when the time came. That slave which Bib fortuna was forcing himself upon was quite beautiful, the sith thought she was a nelvaanian at first but she wasn't she was much different with some white and blue fur instead of the nelvaanian pure blue.
"< You learn to enjoy this girl>," The tan skin alien told the blue-furred alien before noticing the sith as he frowned. ""
"Who I am doesn't matter why I'm here does," The sith told him as Bib looked at him. "I am here to make sure the agreement that Jabba made still stands with the empire,"
"," Bib told the sith annoyed.
"Unless you wish to join him then you will honor your predecessor's deal with the empire,"
"," Bib Fortuna snapped his fingers as the music stopped and all the blasters in the room were pointed to the sith.
"That is where you are wrong," The sith then slightly twitched his fingers as all the hired muscle began to scream holding their heads before dropping dead from the shock of what they experienced.
Bib Fortuna went wide-eyed in fear at what had happened as the sith looked at the new crime lord.
"," The sith looked at the girl who was now on the ground in fear after Bib Fortuna let her go from the scene he saw.
"The girl,"
""
"Give me the girl," The sith demanded this caused the alien slave to look up in surprise.
""
"I have changed the terms of the deal pray I don't change it furder," The sith spoke as the tan skin Twi'lek growled.
"" He then kicked the blue-furred alien towards the sith as she cried upon falling down but the sith caught her before she could hit the ground. ","
The slave girl now in the sith's grasp shivered at the cold metal claws that held her arms as the sith spoke to the Twi'lek.
"You'll be hearing from the empire soon if you go against the terms and agreements," The sith said as he began to walk away with the girl in his grasp.
(onboard the Star Destroyer class 2 prototype)
Kneeling down in the holo chamber the image of Darth Vader stood before him crossing his arms.
"Is it done?" Vader asked.
"Yes my lord Bib Fortuna has agreed to honor Jabba's contract with the empire," The dark lord nodded.
"Good head to Endor the final steps in my master's plan are unfolding as we speak you are to-" Vader stops.
"Master?" The sith asked seeing as if his master sensed something before turning to the young sith.
"Return to my castle on Mustafur,"
Not to question his master the holo image of Vader disappeared not knowing that was the last time the apprentice would see his master. Standing up the sith then lifted his comlink and spoke into it.
"Captain set a course for Mustafur," The dark apprentice demanded as a droid voice spoke up.
"Of course lord inquisitor,"
Leaving the holo room the sith warrior walked into his chamber where many trophies and items he has collected over the years were on the walls and display casing as the slave girl from the palace was sitting down at one of the chairs. Her teal eyes filled with fear turned towards the apprentice as he looked at her she shivered in fear of what he might do to her but with a wave of his hand, the chains on her fell to the ground leaving the collar on her.
Rubbing her wrist she looked up at the sith who grabbed her shoulder to see her back though he was surprised to see not a single whip scar on her as he noticed the tribal-like markings on her fur. The blue-furred alien was confused on why she was being expected by her new master as ever since she was 7 years old she was captured by slavers after her home was destroyed to be sold as an 'exotic escort' for the highest bidder when she turned 18. The price that the slavers had her for was so high nearly three years later Bib Fortuna bought her after greeting his hands on the Hutt accounts after Jabba's death.
She didn't know to be glad or scared that she wasn't in Bib Fortuna hold anymore, she didn't know much but she did hear the stories of sith by other exotic slaves. From what she has also seen this being wasn't playing around he wasn't going to take no for an answer and she knew it best to do what he wanted without pissing him off even if that means giving her-
"Here," The sith held out a pair of clothing. "Get cleaned up and change into these I'll have a droid send food up then get some rest,"
Blinking in confusion she nodded as the sith before her walked out of the large chamber where the many different items were on display.
(Equesitra)
"Oh man, this is going to be amazing!" Twilight said with a smile while Rainbow dash groaned.
"I still don't see how the moon changing color is a big deal," The element of loyalty stated holding with her arms crossed will she floated in the air as princess Twilight smiled.
"Rainbow the moon isn't just changing color but a magic event where the moon and sun get at just the right spot and cause a sliver eclipse!" Twilight explained. "This happens without Celestia and Luna! This happens on its own Rainbow don't you get it? This happens every 10,000 years"
"No," Rainbow yawned white Rarity smiled.
"Don't mind her darling I think it will look amazing and may inspire me for some new dresses!" Rarity exclaimed at least she was being honest.
"I heard that sliver apples are made from the sliver moon this I can't wait to see if that is true," Applejack smiled.
"Yeah, I heard that too I heard they are quite sweet and sour," Starlight told Applejack who held her chin.
"Man, that has to make one heck of a pie sugar cube,"
"Shhhh! is starting!" Spike shouted as the moon began to wax sliver slightly as it shined like a giant silver bit in the sky.
"Ooooooooo," Pinkie pie exclaimed as the rest did and as the silver moon's light began to shine down on the world it seemly turned everything black and sliver as the ponies and dragon looked at one another.
"Alright... this is pretty awesome," Rainbow dash admitted.
"It's like what happened at the crystal empire!" Rarity smiled looking at her pure white sliver body as an idea came to mind pulling out her notebook and began to write down the thought.
"What kinda of magic causes this?" Applejack asked.
"It's when both dark magic and light magic find an equal state that causes this to happen," Twilight told the farmer.
"Wait dark magic?" Rainbow dash asked. "That's bad right?"
"What? No... well yes, dark magic is bad but not in this case for everything is at a balanced state in which both light and dark magics are nullified," Twilight exclaimed. "The state of magic is at a perfect balanced state meaning no form of magic is at pay leaving everything for a short amount of time in a zone of no magic,"
"Wait so you can't use magic?" Rainbow asked.
"Nope,"
"Isn't that bad?" Starlight shook her head.
"Its neither good or bad just balance,"
When she said that the moon was darkened as the sliver effect wore off as something was covering the moon.
"What the-?" Applejack stated as the group looked up to see a large black sharp-shaped object was in the sky over them covering the moon from them. "What in tarnation is that?"
"I thought nothing was support to happen?" Rainbow asked.
"Nothing was,"
(moments before in hyperspace)
Standing on the bridge watching the blue tunnel of hyperspace the sith warrior felt something in the force, a disturbance in the dark side. Holding his covered head a deep pain echoed through his skull as the emperor's scream entered his mind causing him to nearly faint from the lack of presence from the emperor and his master.
Both seemed to be... dead?
That couldn't be right, when they exited hyperspace he needs to contact his master right away.
Recovering from the dark side being weaken the star destroyer, Wrath, seemly rocked as the droid crew seemed to get alerted by this. The destroyer prototype had many sith designs and items in its system making it in a way connect to the dark side like himself as the tunnel of hyperspace turned from blue to... red?
"Droid!" The sith warrior shouted. "What is happening?"
"Unknown sir the ship seems to be reacting to an energy spike and the hyperdrive is convulsing," The droid he called upon answer.
"Pull us out of hyperspace!"
"Sir we don't know what would-
"DO IT!"
"Yes sir," The droid said as they exited hyperspace but as they did the entire bridge when sliver and black for a few moments, and then everything turned to normal. Confused the sith looked out the viewport before turning towards the droid. "Where are we?"
"Location unknown sir. Strange we aren't on the path we had set for Mustafar or anywhere really the system cannot seem to locate us anywhere in the system," The droid said as the sith turned to the machine.
"That's impossible what happened?"
"It must have been from the energy spike," The droid spoke.
"Open comms to any imperial worlds nearby,"
"That is impossible sir," This caused the sith to turn to the droid.
"What? How?"
"We seem to no longer be in the known galaxy," The droid exclaimed. "Were are seemly on our own,"
The sith narrowed his eyes before slamming his fist down.
"The good news is that we seem to be over a planet," The droid exclaimed.
The sith turned.
"What kinda planet?"
"Scanning planet now... scan complete... this world fits the basics for a habitable world my lord with a slight 0.6% compared to normal gravity levels along with signs of life on this world," The droid exclaimed.
The sith turned forward to the viewport.
"Prepare three scout team I want to learn what I can of this world," The sith told the droid.
"Yes sir," The droid then froze. "Sir incoming unidentified objects closing it,"
"Starfighters?"
"No sir these seem to be the local wildlife," The droid exclaimed.
The sith looked forward.
"Sir?"
"Prepare the team I need to check something," The sith began to walk away as the droids got to work.
"Yes my lord,"
(Outside the wrath)
Twilight and rainbow dash flew up to this strange black metal object seemly floating in the air to see what it was, it seemed to be one large complex machine of sorts with dark red marking on some parts of the ship it was very strange indeed.
"What is it Twilight?" Rainbow dash asked as Twilight then noticed a large opening in the side.
"Were not going to know form out here," The princess of friendship flew to the large open side that gave a slight blue glow as her friend flowed suit going to the machine and entered what seemed to be some kind of hangar.
"Whoa..." Rainbow dash looked in awe at the small machines that seemed to be hanging on the ceiling and somewhere even on the ground with many equipment laid out.
The two walked through the large hangar as they looked at the large blue and black eye ball-looking machines, Twilight walked over to a wheeled table to see some tools sorted out as she looked at them. Some looked familiar but others looked much different as she picked one up it looked to be some kind of wrench but the two heard something coming their way casing twilight to put the tool down.
The two hide behind a large fuel tank of some kind as they peaked to see two small robots with disk-like heads and one large eye pointing forward painted in white, black, and marked in red
"What do you think is happening?" One of the machines asked to the other.
"Don't know but whatever is happening got the master 'spooked' from what I heard," The other machine spoke in the same voice.
"Man though can't believe we're on check-up duty," The android exclaimed "I wish they let me stay on my charging station,"
"Come on now we got to check to see if anything was damaged after leaving hyperspace," The other spoke.
"Yeah well wish they had CM-25 doing this and not me," The android seemed to sigh though not having lungs.
"Come on faster we get this done faster back on the-" The droid stopped upon seeing the tools that Twilight's touched. "Wait a second,"
"What is it?" The droid asked.
"This tool... its been moved 1.44 inches and holds a heat trail," The droids looked at one another before freaking out. "INTRUDERS!"
Just as they said this the two friends looked at one another, before they could do anything an alarm went off through the hangar as the large metal doors shut before they could escape the machine's hangar trapping them inside. Turning back to the two droids they ran away as the two got up before hearing something open causing the two to turn and see large machines much taller and bigger than the two one-eyed machines before. They were all black with red eyes and seemed to have a permanent frown on their faceplate and slim limbs with weapons on their arms as they matched in sync.
"Twilight we got to move," Rainbow dash whispered as Twilight nodded the two began to move away as the large machine began to look for them.
Couching the two went by two large devices before making it to one of the doors as the twilight pushed a button and as the doors slid open the two froze seeing two of the dark drones looking at them.
*Daanraaaan*
(Sorry I tried to recreate the sound they made like in rebels rebels)
The two opened their wings as the two lifted their arms and began to fire blue rings at them, this alerted the others as the two began to fly up to one of the devices on the ceiling as they took cover. The entire horde of drones were firing at them with the blue rings as the two looked at on another.
"What do we do?" Rainbow dash asked knowing the sliver moon nullified all magic.
Twilight then looked up to see a vent cover.
"There!"
The two took off for the vent as the Rainbow with all her strength ripped off the vent cover as she climbed inside but before Twilight could she was zapped by one of the blue rings causing her to fall back but Rainbow dash grabbed her hand and pulled her inside. Getting inside the Rainbow dragged Twilight into the large vent as Twilight groaned causing Rainbow dash to smile.
"Oh man your alright!" Twilight groaned still as Rainbow spoke. "Don't worry Twilight I'll get us out of here,"
Placing the knocked-out Twilight on her back she begins to climb through the vent as her friend was still out cold, but little did they know rainbow dash was being tracked through the system of this machine. As they were the only heat signatures outside of the master's chambers which with only the droid crew to prepare a little surprise for the two.
The droid tracking them then pushed a button on the controls for the vents.
Climbing forward Rainbow dash entered a large air cross rodes to cycle the air around but upon entering the six vents all shut at the same time causing the Rainbow dash to go wide-eyed. Before she could do anything smaller covered vents began to shot a green gas into the air causing the element of loyalty to cough and gasp before feeling herself go weak and falling down on the cold metal floor next to Twilight. Rainbow dash reached out for her friend as her eyes grew heavy before passing out to the gas as it filled the room before the vents opened as hovering droids entered and picked up the two ponies to bring them to the brig for questioning.
Author's Note
Well...
Star wars...
When was the last time I did one of these?
Never?
Yeah never have I did one of these before, strange that I'm now doing one.
No my old protogen story doesn't count, that was a different not fully star wars unlike this one. So yeah... Starkiller!
Really fucking pissed that he's now legends, I mean sure I understand the second force unleashed game would be legends but the first? Really? That was so good! Why is my boy Galen marek now only a faint memory!? There was so much potential with his character, it would have made star wars rebels a million times more better if they adding him as a inquisitor!!!
That guy: "But he's too OP! He brought down a entire star destroyer by himself and beat darth vader no one outside the movies has done that before!"
...
Are you bloody serious? Darth Vader has been beaten so many times! Hell Boba freaking Fett fought Darth Vader... TWICE! And so has grand moff Tarkin (Love how they brought him back for Rogue one) when Vader literally asked him to hunt him! A jedi even broke Vader's cyber arms which he had to repair them with a damaged droid remains!
Good lord, Starkiller was awesome way better than what's his name from that star wars jedi something or another with the night sister and the dark jedi. That game even renamed the purge troopers with clones!?! I liked the tall dark droids from the Force unleashed. Though the new purge troopers are pretty cool if you think about it, the last clone batch created to hunt only Jedi? Alright that's a slight pass but still...
They only "referenced" starkiller (if you can call it that) in the squeals, which I'm not really liking except for the last one even though that could be me freaking out over how they got the emperor's original actor to play him and say the thing.
Till then hoped you enjoyed and... who is that slave the sith warrior rescued.
(Me after editing)
Oh god, I accidentally put a toy story 2 reference in here!
I was honest to god not trying to!
Here I'll show you:
Placing the knocked-out Twilight on her back she begins to climb through the vent as her friend was still out cold, but little did they know rainbow dash was being tracked through the system of this machine. As they were the only heat signatures outside of the master's chambers which with only the droid crew to prepare a little surprise for the two.
The droid tracking them then pushed a button on the controls for the vents.
You know... from the opening where buzz is going down that tunnel and Zerg sees him coming...
Good lord, I can't believe I did that!
I swear I wasn't trying too!
Guess a part of my childhood is still there affecting me in some ways.
"Servents, Slaves, Weapons, You will obey,"
-The original sith 'emperor'
(Long time ago)
"AHHHHHHHH!" The child screamed in pain at the first changes of altering his body to become the prefect weapon against the Jedi.
Vader was glad...
He was glad for the first time since he was placed in this cursed suit for the first time he was glad no one could see his face.
For the fact no one would see he had his eyes closed not baring to see the child he 'saved' from the runes in so punch pain he was threating to rip his vocal cords.
Darth Vader the man who wouldn't shy away from death held his eyes closed for this child as the emperor laughed.
"This child is powerful lord vader he will make a powerful Inquisitor someday," The dark sith smiled with his yellow teeth.
"That is why I brought him here my master," Vader stated as the child's screams hurt him more than what Obi-wan did to him.
"So my friend what is the real reason you brought this child to me personally?" Sidious asked.
Vader took a moment to think.
"He reminds me of a sith I read about," Vader explained.
"Oh... which one would that be?" The sith master was very interested in what Vader now had to say as his smile widened.
"The sith known as Starkiller," Vader explained.
"Really? The same Starkiller who created super weapons for the sith empire?" Sidious asked.
Vader nodded.
"Hmmmmm... I don't see it," Sibious explain. "Could be that he's young but your senses do not betray you this child is powerful in the force and when my servents are finished with him-"
"No,"
Sidious turned his head surprised by what vader had said.
"No?"
"The other Inquisitors are weak... allow me to over see his progress and transformation," Sidious seemed surprised at how bold Vader was being in front of him.
Although Sidious didn't sense anything against him from Vader that caused the master to be surprised for Vader felt somewhat wanting to train this child. Smiling for a moment as the shadow of his hood cover most of his face before the emperor of the galactic empire spoke.
"Do what you wish Lord Vader but know this. There can only be two, one Master, one appertince, remember that while your training him unless you wish to be replaced by him," Sidious warned leaving Vader to watch the child scream as the medical droids had finish there work yet the child could feel his veins burn from the inside.
Hitting his head back against the patted medical slab the droid made sure he would hurt himself as the doors to the medical room opened as Vader stepped in. The child didn't stop screaming as Vader looked down at the young man as the serum was already starting to take form as the color drained from his body as his veins darkened.
The venom based sith drug would have killed most children his age if it wasn't for his connection to the force, Vader knew this child was going to be in even more pain during the extreme changes from sith alchemy, cyber implantion, and gen splicing. Placing his gloved hand into the child's own hand, vader could feel his pain of course he could ease it but knew if he did that the child would become weak and killed by the emperor's agents he need this pain to fuel him.
Vader wanted this child to know that he was here for him.
For Vader was robbed of becoming a father long ago, but with the boy he could try and become a mentor to this child and guide him.
Emotions fuel the darkside...
If anything were to happen to Vader the child's hate would become unmessurable and he would stop at nothing till he got his revenge for his...
Dare he say.
Father?
Vader smiled under his helmet not at the thought of him being a father but knowing if an assassin of the emperor does catch him off guard than this boy would not stop till the emperor joins him in the grave.
...
'Starkiller,'
His claws scratched his helmet while the snarling 'inquisitor' felt pain from finally accepting the fact that the one he saw as a mentor was dead.
Darth Vader the man he admired and strived to be was dead.
Who raised him from a father who would teach him to hold back his emotions and became a terrorist to the future of peace that the empire held.
Never in his life has he felt a pain like this.
Yes, he knew pain but this one hurt that no blade or blaster bolt could give him.
Tears flowed down his eyes as a bitter taste filled his mouth.
His meditation chamber shook violently while he pushed on the sides of his helmet threatening to crush the gift from his master.
Bring the helmet to his forehead he began to feel the sorrow and pain wash over him for that was the way of the sith.
Unlike the Jedi, they embraced their emotion.
*Beep beep*
He was so hurt that he didn't hear the call of the holopad in front of him.
"Lord inquisitor?" Lifting his head hearing a voice from the holo screen behind him. "My lord?"
The darkness of his room had been broken but the voice of the soldier spoke, turning the helmet around he placed it on while the large chamber similar to his masters turned around but light up while he looked at the holoscreen.
"Commander Null," The Inquisitor looked at the black armored trooper.
"What is it?"
"Some native life forms boarded the ship, my lord," The commander looked at the inquisitor but knowing after many years of service to the secret sith he spoke. "Is something the matter lord Inquisitor?"
"I fear that the emperor and my master are dead Commander," He spoke.
"What that's can't be are you-"
"I'm sure Null the rebellion has won," Null even though where his unique armor seemed shocked. "How can that be the death star and..."
"It's Yavin 4 all over again," The inquisitor stated. "But we will talk about this later. These natives are they intelligent?"
The commander nodded.
"Yes my lord they were able to dodge the sentry droids stun bolts and they did speak in generic basic," The inquisitor lowered rested his arms on his legs. "They are in the brig as we speak and are quite an active one seems to be trying to use some form of energy to escape,"
"Energy?"
"Correct sir she isn't using the force from it seems but she is still being held within her cell. The other one is taking a more... direct approach," Commander Null spoke before the sound of banging on the metal cell could be heard.
"WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE YOU BUCKET HEADS ARE GOING TO PAY!"
"She's not the brightest one it seems," Spoke the inquisitor.
"You can say that again ki- I mean inquisitor," Null corrected himself.
The inquisitor waved his hand.
"It's fine Null... doubt the emperor's spies would care now that our 'glorious' leader is now dead," The sith told him while he nodded.
"Heh was never a fan of him anyways my respect went to lord Vader and yourself," The inquisitor got up. "Your orders sir?"
"See what information you can get of them about this world,"
"If they aren't willing?"
"Do whatever,"
"Sir," With that Null logged off while the sith moved his hand using the force to turn on the lights before removing his helmet and looking at the helmet.
The claw marks made him curse at his enraged action, it only scratched the pain, not the helmet itself.
He walked and opened the door exiting the chamber while going into the main room and spotting the former slave in front of a set of battle-damaged clone trooper armor. Quietly he walked over to the blue alien before speaking right behind her causing the vixen to jump.
"What are you doing?"
Before she could fall onto the ground the sith used force to catch her.
"Eep!" This caused him to raise his brow.
Helping her to her feet she looked at him in the imperial clothes that he gave her to change into her fur was still drying slightly. Turning to the battle-damaged phase two armor with red markings of the coruscant guard with the markings of commander with a kama and seemed similar to that of another commander of the 501st.
"What were you doing?" The former slave's ears flatten expecting to be beaten by her new hoist. "Speak,"
"I-I-I-I was looking at your collections master I didn't touch it I swear," She held her head watching for a blow or maybe him 'punish' her a different way.
Only to hear his voice in a claim matter.
"I know you didn't touch it," She opened her eyes looking at him seeing his glow somewhat bloodshot eyes hold no malice towards her before turning to the armor. "Do you know of the clone wars?"
"Y-yes but I was born after the war ended," Her master gave a slight huff.
"So was I," She still had her head lowered in fear of what he would do to her.
"But you know of the clones who fought in the war correct?"
She nodded.
"This armor belongs to a true hero of the clone wars though he only had a short time on the battlefield," She looked at the blaster-damaged armor mostly in the chest plate and left shoulder. "His name was Commander Thorn he and his men were caught off guard but even with the enemy seemly surrounding him he didn't throw down his weapon and surrender but gave the last stand,"
Looking at the armor he then waved for her to follow.
"My master fought in the clone wars as a general of the 501st many he would tell me the stories of the many battles he fought with his 'former' master and the Jedi before they decided to try and overthrow the republic," The sith stated. "My master stopped the Jedi from attacking his future master if it wasn't for the clone wars I would surely have become a faceless temple guard with parents who couldn't or wouldn't love me because of the Jedi's code,"
"W-why was it against their code? If you don't mind me asking master?" She asked.
"Because of the cowards and hypocrites, they were," He then turned back to her. "Yet no matter how many times we tried to stop the Jedi they always come back,"
The two stopped in front of a collection of Jedi lightsabers behind a display case.
"The Jedi cult is like a tree you can rip the branches or even cut the tree down but the tree will always grow back no matter how hard we tried they kept coming back," The inquisitor turned to her. "Though they are little more than a pest now I have the clones to thank for my newfound freedom and in your case, the clones freed you as well,"
"W-what?"
"If the clones didn't stop the Jedi you would still be in chains being some greedy crime lord like bib Fortuna or worse Jabba the hut," He held his hand in front of the armor displays before her. "They have numbers, yes but I know them by their names,"
Pointing his hand forward to the sets.
"Fives, Jessie, Keeli, Jet, tup, Sev, Cody, Colt, Havoc, Blitz, and 99," Turning his hand to a display with clone wars era metal within it. "99 unlike the rest of his brothers he was considered defective... but from what I know he was anything but when the CIS invaded kamino he did what he could by giving out ammo to his brothers and pulling them from danger while in the end dying for his brothers,"
She looked at the metal before turning to a large piece of metal.
"Master? What is this?" She pointed to the large piece of metal seemly on the wall.
"A reminder of the empire's greatest failure," He spoke. "That is a fragment of the first death star's super laser dish,"
The former slave looked at him.
"The rebels didn't care if there were millions of workers and non-military personal onboard still they killed them all without a second thought because they didn't wish to surrender," He looked towards her. "What do you think of the rebellion,"
"Well I-"
"I want your honest answer don't try to lie I would know if you do," The blue vulpine gulpped.
"T-they were going to free the entire galaxy from the empire's heel. That's what the other slaves told me but when the rebels found where we were they looked right before buying some slaves and leaving us behind to be solid," Looking at her while she shook in fear causing the sith to look at her.
"What's your name?" The fox looked at him while he looked down at her.
"My name?" Pointing to herself he nodded. "I'm the blue ge-"
"No," She froze. "Your real name,"
Unknowing she reached for her mother's neckless but even after all these years, it was still not there.
"I'm... Krystal,"
She looked at him.
"What is your name master?" She asked while he looked at her.
"I never was told my birth name nor do I want to know of it... Lord Vader my master named me after the great sith known as Starkiller," He looked down at her.
"S-s-s-starkiller?"
"That is the only name I have," He told her. "Lord Vader gave me that one name,"
Looking at a lava rock he then turned to her.
"You might have liked him," Starkiller sighed before noticing something, grabbing her neck she froze up while using the force to leave it floating in the air while using his other clawed hand to carefully touch her neck.
"M-master?"
"Hold still," He then felt it. "I thought so... quickly come with me,"
Placing his helmet on he grabbed her hand causing her to blush slightly before exiting the room where a trooper stood guard.
"My lord?" Starkiller spoke.
"Call to the medical bay to have a a medical droid ready,"
"Yes my lord," Placing his hand on his headset he called it in while Krystal felt a cold chill run down her spine.
Being pulled she spoke.
"M-m-master what's wrong?" Krystal spoke in a worried voice.
"When you were a slave were you ever injected with anything?" Starkiller asked.
"A year ago when they had us all be given a vaccine shot to make sure we would sell for a higher price," This caused Starkiller to speed up his pace. "Master, what's happening?"
He didn't speak while pulling her with him before they came to a large door with a red cross on it before opening it were many medical beds had dark armored troopers being a check upon by medical droids before the two went over to a large table where a 2-1B surgical droid. Krystal froze up at the sight of the droid cuased her to go wide-eyed before pulling on Starkiller's arm.
"No! Please! No! I don't want to go back to the darkroom!" Starkiller looked at her while she tried to get away from the droid. "I didn't do anything! Please! I don't wanna go back!"
Starkiller pulled her forward.
"Krystal," Fear was in her eyes while tears began to flow down her eyes.
"Not again. Not again. Not again. Not again. Not again," He kept repeating the same line where Starkiller didn't need the droid to tell him what she was experancing.
The four troopers watched while the mummering vulpine girl cried before Starkiller held his hand infront of her causing her to go limp. Picking up in his arms like a princess from the old stories he turned and entered the room with the door as the troopers watched the door shut behind him.
"Whoa... haven't seen the general do that in some time," One of the troopers stated as a smaller medical droid began to work on his cybernetic arm.
"Yeah but who was that fox girl?" The trooper with the same face and but different hair cut asked.
"Well I heard that he took some slave girl the Jabba's replacement when we were at tattooine," This trooper had his back exposed where a droid was carefully treating a blaster bolt burn from a while ago that was now healing nicely.
"What? The kid got himself a slave? Your kidding right?" This trooper asked while the one with the metal hand, held out his free hand.
"Will you keep it down? He'll hear you!" That caused the fourth trooper to smile.
"Please he doesn't mind," The one with the back burns groaned.
"Doesn't mean you can call him that to his face,"
"What Null does just that so did the others," He stated.
"Beast the emperor has ears everywhere," 'Beast' crossed his arms while his droid began to remove the cast around his leg.
"Yeah yeah but still can't believe he got himself such a pretty little thing like her. Man they grow up so fast," Beast smiled.
"Look whose talking,"
"Hey that goes for you too Sky," Beast pointed to the blastered burned trooper.
"It goes for all of us," The second one spoke. "And the rest of our brothers here,"
"And those who came before us," Sky stated.
They all didn't speak as the sound of the doors open causing them to turn to see Starkiller exit the chamber with the blue vulpine slave in his arms again and the droid speaking.
"Set her down to rest my lord," Doing so on an empty medical bed Starkiller looked down at her. "The slave chip removal was a success but I want her to say for a while till she wakes up,"
Starkiller looked at her then to the men who looked right back at him, before anyone could say anything the doors opened as a trooper entered.
"My lord one there is a problem in the brig," Starkiller then looked at the four troopers.
"Watch her," He ordered causing them to answer with a 'sir'.
Leaving the room Sky then spoke looking at the vulpine.
"Slave chip?"
The cyborg trooper spoke.
"Yeah nasty stuff lastest in the blackmarket heard those things can either change the entire personality of a slave or give them one helluva jolt,"
"How do you know that Duke?" The droid let his arm go as he moved the synthic skin hand around.
"I'm a tech specialist Sky I know how to take apart a pit droid and put it back togther blindfolded," Duke stated. "I'm informed about the latest tech as well... but from what we heard... I don't think it was the chip that messed her up,"
Looking at the vixen who was now curled into a ball causing them to just feel bad for the girl making them wonder what happened to make her fear a droid that was used for healing.
The prisoner with wings and the rainbow hair held a trooper in a headlock while he was trying to break the hold.
"How did she get out?" Starkiller asked.
"She didn't," Null told him in worn armor that he has used for nearly two decades now. "Dropped onto of the two then grabbed one of them as a hostage,"
"Dropped?"
"Yeah she was on the ceiling and dropped down on them,"
"Interesting," Turning back to the equine creature he watched while she used the clone as a meat shield.
"Rainbow this isn't going to help us!" The other prisoner who was still in her cell told the blue equine.
"Twilight just shut up and get us out of here!"
"I can't my magic isn't working!"
"How?"
"I don't know but I can't teleport us out of here,"
'Teleport? Magic?'
Starkiller hummed as the clone tried to fight but seemly was overpowered by the equine who suprisingly overpowered him even though he was genetically altered being to be the ideal soldier like the clones in the war.
"Sir I have a clean shot," A marksman stated his rifle rested on a fellow troopers riot shield.
"Wait..."
"I don't know this place it feels wrong like when we were in the crystal empire for the first time,"
"Well can you try to contact the others?"
"I've tried but nothing is working!"
"Twilight what about that magic paper you were telling us about before?"
"They took everything I can't contact spike,"
"I think we might have to bust our way out then,"
"Rainbow these creatures have weapons I saw before they were able to find us in a matter of minutes by a slight change in that room!"
"But they never meet me before I can take them,"
"Rainbow you can't they are dangerous we need to warn the princesses about them and what they have,"
"I've heard enough send it," Starkiller ordered before the trooper could fire he spoke. "Lethal but make it hurt,"
"With pleasure sir," Firing a red blaster bolt from his blaster in the sniper configuration right at the cyan equine's leg causing her to scream in pain letting go of the trooper who got the moment he needs.
Freeing himself he turned and sucker-punched the alien in the face before bringing her down to the ground hard with her arm behind her back.
"RAINBOW DASH!"
The troopers rushed forward-pointing their blasters at the cyan alien while she was cuffed by the same clone who she was using as a meat shield moments ago, Null walked forward before speaking to the trooper.
"Take he back to her cell this time strapped down,"
"Yes, sir I'll presonaly see to it," The trooper pulled her up as another placed a collar on her neck while dragging her across the metal floor.
'Twilight' had tears in her eyes while the clones walked away with her friend then she noticed the Starkiller standing before her.
Backing away from the red field sperating her from freedom he looked at her.
"I do hope you will not try anything... for your friend's sake," He then turned left her with those words of 'wisdom' to not and try anything.
This world seemed already interesting than it seemed.
Author's Note
Well...
Not really what I do adding in more humans than one but I though it would be suitable for the idea of the last clones (that arent purge troopers mind you) to be under somekind of high command and well respected general.
Yes Krystal is in here kinda gave it away in the first chapter but she's... not the same one we all know and love she's different. A more hurted different that's not Krused that's fox's fault.
(Fox Mccloud or Commander Fox both are dicks no matter what series we are talking about)
I know delta squad's game isn't cannon but still with the new bad batch episode with scorch and yes he was said to be alive for a future game that in the end was cancelled. I found it fitting for our favorite hunter to get a cameo of somekind that isn't with the whole squad.
Also a few others like my boy Thorn and even 99's metal that heavy gave him to 'hold on to' out of the entire series of star wars I only loved the part with the clones. Don't judge me the clones are the best part about star wars and I love how they kinda made that old man in the return of the jedi Rex.
Still I'm kinda both happy and sad that Rex went against order 66 the happy part knowing he tried to fight not hurting his 'sister' Ahsoka the sad knowing he joined the rebellion. I kinda wished that Jessie was like 'hey yeah she isn't a jedi anymore what were we thinking?' maybe if they did just that.
Maybe Ahsoka would become a inquisitor or not...
Vader did care for her and we could see that he was holding back a lot in his fight not attacking her out of anger like he does with other jedi.
Still Jessie... My boy... use that big brain that the kaminoans gave you and think!
For his star destroy it's kinda like pre-first order star destroyer but post-empire star destroyer if that makes any sense.
The best image I could find was this:
