Prologue
The battle of Naboo was a grim one, high republic cruisers and remnant empire star destroyers fired at each other in the skies above, they didn’t look like much from the ground but up close they were titans, machine gods, and from them turbo lasers fired and hit the shields of each one, there were 3 each in the sky. A fourth star destroyer was falling to earth on fire and it’s crew dying or already dead.

From these mighty machines fighter X-wing and Tie fighters soared overhead in the skies, and troop carriers of both sides flew down to the ground and dropped troops, walkers stomped on the ground, the empire always got the best toys, including a new type of remnant imperial droid.

A Scourge droid, like droideka they folded up but they had more weapons and could fold up into perfect spheres and rolled anywhere they went without having to worry about tipping over, the new stormtroopers that belonged to the remnant empire though terrible at aiming made good progress making their way to the republics sighed. The republic troopers were obviously the better fighters but were in disorder and struggling and didn’t have the typical tech other than some old walkers that would not compare to the number of AT-AT’s the Empire had.

“How the dank farrik are we supposed to win this one, the whole god damn remnant empires here” shouted a captain to his superior, a general, “Ivo’s crew is how we get dank Farrik we win this one” the general shouted back as an explosion from a AT-AT was seen and the walker crumpled to the ground useless and on fire.

“Ivo? As in Ivo foota?” one soldier asked, “Commander Galia Coroth’s team leader?” the captain asked in disbelief, “i heard they had a mandalorian” another soldier remarked, “i heard they had a gen’dai” a commander said, “what are ya an idiot Gen’dai are myths” said another commander, “actually sir there was a gen’dai bounty hunter confirmed during the clone wars, they ain’t myths just rare” said a commando as he and his squad gave troopers covering fire.

“All of that is true and they are at the temple trying to bury and learn about whatever is inside it” the general said as he unholstered his pistol and shot in the general direction of the enemy. “What is in the temple?” a sergeant asked, “I don't know it’s a bloody temple of the eternal empire back during the days of the old republic. I know shit about it, some force user crap or some such so JUST KEEP FIRING!”.

Temple 18KM away from the battle
A single Super star destroyer hovered over the temple, the star destroyer was the flagship of the empire and held the empress of the empire herself and tie fighters were trying to shoot down a single ship, it was a grey, red and black Rambler class freighter with a single unmanned turret on the underside and two manned turrets on the top.

The ship was known greatly as the Starstruck and housed a Jedi and his crew, the pilot was a republic commander and many of the residents were her original crew.

The pilot was a female Itotchi called Galia Coroth, in her green suit with a torso belt on her upper body that housed a blaster pistol. And was the grandchild of the famous Hera syndulla, hence her piloting skills passed down the family line.

Her three crew members were her droid Aaynine or A-9, a green astromech droid, Blizk and Toum. Blizk was a male Kyuzo bounty Hunter like Embo, except with a different hat that looked a little bit like a cowboy hat and he had robotic feet that made him as able to hold stuff with his feet as Lasat.

Combine that with his species' incredibly dense fibre muscles, their enhanced reflexes and Blizk's rather remarkable acrobatic skills which could be seen as Jedi level, he was a great fighter.

Toum was the muscle, in fact he was all muscle tissue, his species was a rare species called Gen’dai, they were so rare they were occasionally thought to be myths even among those who had read about Durge, a gen’dai bounty Hunter from. The clone wars that were many decades ago.

As such Toum wore a rather oversized left gauntlet with a bone shell of a creature he had killed in his youth(whenever that was ranging from 10-10,000 years) with the same bone and even two horns on the sides of his mandalorian style helmet and left arm guard.

The rest of his Armor was metal and a blue fabric that covered his entire body and held together by more pieces of Armor.

“We got Ties still on us” Galia said in the pilot's seat, “yeah no shit, that why we're still up here shooting them” Toum said dryly from one gun mount, “i’m doing the best we can but that’s an entire super star destroyer up there” Galia retorted, “she’s right they could have more then just tie fighters for all we know-”, Aaynine interrupted by beeping, “uh your right we just need to give Ivo, J’kar and Takheer enough time to get the artifact” Galia sighed, “well that droid can't tell them to hurry up” Toum shouted down.

In the super star destroyer
There were a few people waiting inside the super star destroyers bridge for the mission to be complete, there herself stood the empress of the remnant empire, Empress Kala-ra, her black armor covered her entire body including her cloak and dress, and her visor completely covered her eyes and nobody who didn’t know about the force knew how she could see. Then there was the inquisitor known as the 11th brother, his real name was Cro Proa and he was a rather large Kel-Dor in armor with a red and grey loincloth.

“Are you sure they will succeed as Empress?” Cro-Proa asked, “I have every confidence in my apprentice,” Kala-ra said, “and what about the supreme general, what about him?” Proa asked, referring to the leader of the stormtrooper troops, “he is useful but my apprentice is stronger.” Kala-ra expressed anger in her tone but only a little.

“Face it and forgive my smartassery but your afraid of who he has to face, you sense him down there i know you do” Proa said, Kala-ra face displayed frustration and seh sent a bolt of electricity with the force at the Kel’dor and he was pushed against the windshield groaning from the electricity coursing through his body. Many of the technicians and navigators recoiled from surprise while others, the more professional, held their ground and acted as if this was a regular thing.

“My apprentice will rule this empire when the time comes, while you are stuck vowing before them” Kala-ra said, “I just wanted to feel a bit of pain to the battle I am missing” Proa admitted as he was released.

“Let’s hope the bounty hunters hired for them will work out just as well for the sake of the employers” Kala-ra growled looking darkly at Proa.

In the temple
In the very centre of the temple actually, there were two beings fighting in an arena-like area, above the two fighters was a flying pyramid shaped small object hovering overhead. One of these combatants was a jedi, a turquoise blue nautolan about 18 years old who was a knight even at his age, very impressive all things considered. He wore golden armlets, belt and shoulder pad on his left shoulder.

He wore a sleeveless dark blue vest with a golden color around the neck, his boots were metal and his trousers were brown with a DL-44 blaster pistol holstered on his right leg and a fabric cloth hanging from his belt on the left leg that went slightly past the knee. In his hand was a double bladed purple lightsaber of a very nice design.

The other was Kala-ra’s apprentice, Algress Mago, he was a 18 year old orange Zabrak with the typical black tattoo patterns, he wore a brown trenchcoat over his armor of dark grey, metallic and blue, his right arm was missing and replaced with a clawed arm that was made of a metallic plant like substance. It glowed blue, green and red on the spikes that protruded from his arm.

In that very same right arm he held a red lightsaber with a hilt made and adapted from the axe of Savage opress which had been found in his room since birth by remnant empire stormtroopers, the handle had been broken in half and the axe blade was remade with Beskar steel as to give more options in battle, the blade could rotate to move out of the way of the orange plasma blade when ignited and the spike in it could separate into 2 depending on which setting it was on. This lightsaber gave Algress the option to go either the sith tradition or the nightbrother tradition of fighting.

His other hand held a red plasma blade lightsaber that he had built himself, not as impressive or imposing as the former but it was mostly for tradition sake that he had his lightsaber built.

The two blocked each others attacks with their retrospective weapons, Algres had his axe on the metal blade setting and his second lightsaber in hand, for this Ivo had both ends of his lightsaber ignited, the blades swirled and moved gracefully in a rush of purple, red and orange. It was almost hypnotizing.

“Algress why does fate keep sending us two to battle each other?” Ivo asked his long time rival as he blocked a slash from the orange blade with one hand and then slashed with the other end, “i do as my master asked in this war, i have potential” he said back as he sent a stab with his axe, “yes you do and you waste it on war that you could be preventing?” Ivo shot back Blocking the attack and force pushed Algress back but Algress rolled and force dashed around Ivo and sent a cut down unto Ivo.

But Ivo blocked it and both sidestepped, back to get some breathing room.

Meanwhile there was a patrol of stormtroopers under fire from a high platform near the entrance, there was a narrow bridge but they could cross it because there was a sniper and a good one at that with a platoon of 5 rebel snipers aiding him, he was a kaleesh named Tahkeer Zallase, and he wore the traditional Kaleesh skull mask over his face with red markings around the eye’s, his cloak was dark brown with a blue skinsuit under a brown vest.

He was firing his Amban sniper blaster that disintegrated that had a bayonet on the end of the barrel, “keep it up by Ivo time” Tahkeer ordered as he fired, “look out?” shouted a rebel sniper getting the attention of everyone else as she was shot down by a droid. It was one of the bounty hunters hired by the empire to help retrieve the artifacts.

This droid was a modified blue BX-series droid commando with a rather Kaleesh like head with a white fabric cloak and hood and claw like hands, in one hand was a E-5 blaster rifle and in the other was a vibroblade which he used to cut the throat of the rebel sniper next, it then jumped over two blaster shots and quick fired the other two rebel snipers but then had it’s blaster knocked out of it’s hand by Takheer with his sniper.

Tahkeer then twirled his rifle like a spear and pointed it at the droid in challenge, the droid readied his blade, the meaning was clear. Challenge accepted.

“What's going on up there?” a stormtrooper asked as the sniper fire seemed to have stopped, “I'll tell you what happened,” said the second bounty hunter hired to retrieve the relic. He was the Mandalorian known as Mij Gilamar/the Golden fisherman, gold coloured Armor meant vengeance in mandalorian culture.

And his clan, clan Gilamar had a vengeance with another mandalorian Clan working for the republic.

“you prove your worth” said the leader of the platoon, it was the supreme commander of the stormtrooper army. His name was general Stryker, he was a cyborg human, he had an old empire stormtrooper helmet with a cybernetic eye on the right side of it, his entire armor was grey, the rest of the armor was that of an old republic clone commando.

Over his left shoulder was a triangular shaped rocket turret, and on his right arm had a mounted rotary cannon barrel and he ignited the red lightsaber mounted on his left arm and pointed it at the bridge, “move” he ordered the troops.

Marching in single file lines of 2 ranks, the troops marched over the bridge, but a missile from an unknown source was fired and hit the centre of the bridge, the entire structure collapsed and the soldiers were sent into the deep chasm, the remaining troops looked up to find a mandalorian in red armor flying overhead with a jetpack and began firing the rifle modification AT-1280 at the remaining troops.

This was J’kar Tozam//the Crimson predator son of diseased clan leader Marcus Tazom of Clan Tazom, red in mandalorian culture meant honoring a parent and so J’kar painted his armor red. Many mandalorians fought for the high republic and clank Tozam was one of those houses, “Uh so the crimson predator hunts us” Golden fisherman growled as he drew a scyther on a chain.

This was his trademark weapon, Stryker began rotating his rotary cannon but Fisherman stopped him, “no he’s mine” Mij said, Clan Tozam and Clan Gilamar were enemies, it was said that Mij father was killed by J’kar father and Mij was out to claim vengeance on J’kar.

J’kar flew low and continued to fire and deactivated his jetpack once on solid ground, and drew a katana like Vibroblade as he charged at Mij who tossed his weapon at J’kar. J'kar blocked the scythe and slashed but Mij reeled in the scythe in time to block it.

“This ends, it will end one way or another” Mij said, “yes it will but not today I have a job to do” J’kar responded.

We shall have to leave this back and forth exchained and head back to Ivo and Algress’ lightsaber dual, Algress jumped over head sending two slashes which Ivo blocked easily, Ivo then blocked three more slash’s with both ends of his lightsaber, Ivo then blocked a fourth slash vertically but Algress kneed Ivo in the gut making him grunt.

Ivo recovered quickly and used force speed to dodge out of the way of a slash down from Algress, Ivo used the force to grab his lightsaber and quickly blocked a double slash from both of Algress’s lightsabers and used force lightning and shot Algress back to the far end of the platform. Using force lightning and force speed in quick succession took a lot out of a jedi.

Algress had no time for this, he powered down both lightsabers and put the red one away, he reached out at the artifact and grabbed it with the force pulling it towards him but the object stopped halfway, it was Ivo using the force to try and pull it back, both were of equal power. Neither was here to kill the other, that time will come for now they were here to retrieve the artifact.

Both filled with the same amount of force energy as each other had, the temple began to shake with the energy released, both began to grit their teeth as cracks appeared all around them, neither could reach their lightsabers with the crushing force around them constricting them to continue this action until at least one stopped.

And neither would stop until one had the artifact, they pulled and pulled, the artifact began to crack but both were oblivious to it, as they continued to grit their teeth and pieces of the temple began to fall apart.

Finally under the immense strain of the outside of the artifact began to crumple, finally Ivo let go, and the shaking stopped and he instead shot electricity at Algress. The Zabrak released the artifact and shot electricity of his own hoping to overpower Ivo, but something odd happened, both bits of electricity diverted off course to the artifact.

The artifact glowed and sparked as the outside markings glowed a yellow and orange color, objects began to move around the room, sparks flew and electricity shot from the pyramid artifact. “What’s happening?” Algress demanded igniting both his lightsabers, “I don't know, be ready?” Ivo replied, both knew it was no good fighting in this situation.

The artifact’s outer shell cracked and shattered around revealing an unknown crystal inside, it wasn’t a kyber crystal nor any known crystal, that also began to crack, “i think it’s about to implode” Ivo said, “quick” Algress said as he used the force at the very second the crystal exploded in a ball of white light that would have consumed them if not Ivo and Algress used the force to create a force wield and restrain it into a literal ball of light.

The sphere forced itself to expand and pushed against the force barrier that the sith and the Jedi were creating, both knew that it would be bad for both sides if whatever was happening happened. Unfortunately onboard the super star destroyer named the Wrath of Night had had enough of this, “urgh enough!” Yelled Kala-ra, “ready the turbo lasers and the ventral cannon’s!”, “but the tie fighter-” someone protested, “That's an order!” Kala-ra snapped .

The turbo lasers began to fire and 2 Ventral cannon’s shot homing ion torpedoes at the Starstruck, “we got torpedo’s” Blizk called out as he aimed at the two blue ion streaks, “keep them off we got turbo laser incoming” Galia said, “A-9 ready the shields and be ready to divert power”, A-9 beeped in response.

Thankfully Galia was a brilliant pilot and avoided the blasts with minimal effort and the ion torpedo’s shot from the vendal cannons were shot out of the sky by Blizk and Toum, many of the turbo laser blasts hit the tie fighters but many continued down to the temple and made impact.

The impact shook the temple violently as it hit dead centre of the temple, this made Algress and Ivo at the centre of the temple inside lose their balance and concentration, which meant the force barrier went down, “quick-” Ivo began as the sphere stayed in the air before exploding and consuming the two in a ball of light, the light quickly expanded absorbing life forms and whatever was on them.

Zakheer had managed to stab the strange droid in the side and damage it, this must have registered as holding something as when the light hit both were absorbed, the dead bodies however were not, Stryker, J’kar were still sword fighting when the light hit them and absorbed them along with Dunkan and the stormtrooper platoon, and it continued to expand and fill the atmosphere, the super star destroyer was low enough to be absorbed along with its crew members, everything alive and in possession or possessed by something alive within the temple radius was absorbed by the white semi sphere before it petered out and faded. Inside the temple a small black sphere that was formerly the source of the white light hovered in the air before creating a shockwave with an imploding boom and cut the temple in half and made it crumble.

Not too far away back on the battlefield, the remnant empire was retreating, “where the hell is Ivo’s team?” the general demanded as he boarded a ship, “last report, the temple was cut in half by an unknown explosion, no lifesigns detected even the Wrath of night has been destroyed” said a commander.

“Destroyed? How?” the general asked, “who the dank farrik knows?” The commander replied as the door closed and the ship’s began to lift off and return to base, the battle was theirs but the war was far from over.

Just to be clear i did draw my OC star wars characters myself, i don’t expect praise just to help people visualize what the characters look like, i am aware that some parts a little disproportionate and some may seem better than others to which i say i am not an expert drawer and it’s just to help visualize which i find helps me in a story.
