Resurrected As A Sith Lord: A Star Wars Story

Chapter 13 - A Divergence in the Force

It was a long night for Jason, as he had nightmares throughout the night, of a woman screaming in pain and agony. He did not know who it was as there was only darkness in the dream, as if he was in the center of a black hole. When Jason woke from his nightmares, he was covered in a cold sweat, his sleeping bag drenched in sweat. He sat up grasping his head to try and calm the throbbing in his head, like his head was about to explode. After he finally eased his mind, he stepped out of his tent. It was early morning before the sun had risen. There were a few others that were also awake with him as well wandering around the campsite.

After having taken some rations out of his bag, he sat down in front of the burnt embers of the fire from last night and ate his food in silence. After he finished eating, he started taking down his tent and packing up all his gear and getting ready to set out again for the day's march. An hour had passed, and everybody was ready to set out, and head to their first destination. They had walked for several hours when they had come across a herd of banthas that they decided to commandeer them. They loaded up the banthas with all their gear and the dark jedi paired up and rode the rest of them. The rest of the day was spent traveling when they arrived at the outskirts of the town of Koora. Muur had instructed some Jedi to scout out the town and to report back after it was done.

An hour had passed when the scouts returned with information about the town. They had explained that there is about four to five hundred people in the town. Mostly all farmers, and there does appear to be a police presence here, but not sure of the amount of police. Mostly seventy percent of the people are males, with the remaining presence being females and children. After assessing the situation for a minute, Muur and Jason had to decided that they would wait another hour after everyone retired to their houses for the night before they would raid the town.

The hour had passed and the last light one of the houses had just turned out, signaling all were asleep now and the raid would begin. They spread out surrounding the town before they descended on it like a violent wave crashing against rocks in the shallows. As the spawn and the dark Jedi had entered the town, the spawn was acting as if they were a rampaging rancor in a market, breaking through doors and windows killing everyone they got their hands on. The dark Jedi were taking care of the ones that either attempted to run away or fight back. As Muur and Jason walked into the center of the town observing the destruction, Muur could not help but laugh all the death that his followers were causing. Jason on the other hand was simply silent, looking out over the scene that was happening. He could sense the pain, the fear, and the death spewing out of everyone and into him as if it were some possessing dark cloud. Jason did what he could to resist the urge to stop himself from throwing himself at Muur and stopping this atrocity.

The slaughtering of the town only took three hours with only a few of the dark spawn being gunned down by the local police force. After it was all done, Muur ordered that all the bodies be brought to the center of the town so that they be brought back as force undead. The dark spawn dragged the bodies and just tossing them into a pile while the Jedi were levitating them to the center, putting them the others. Once all the former townsfolk had been gathered, Muur and Jason began to lead the Jedi in ritual of reanimating them to the undead. As the ritual was commencing, there was a disturbance in the force that not only shook him to his core, but he could that the others around him were scared as well by this disturbance.

-Sorzus Syn & XoXaan-

After the master's meeting had concluded, Master's Syn and XoXaan, walked off to go talk over their plans for their attack group. They had decided they would proceed to the west of town, Dreypa would take the east, and Master Pall having the north. Syn and XoXaan went and gathered the Jedi that they wanted to take with them in their attack group, which was mostly other females, because Sorzus Syn had trust issues with men after she was abused as a child by her father. The Jedi saved her from her father, but the emotional and mental scars were still there, following her. After they had assembled their team of Jedi, they gathered what dark spawn they could, and left for their first objective.

The first town they were going to was called Praxxa. Praxxa was a small town that was at the base of a mountain range that was a mining town that mined Titanium deep inside the mountains. It was estimated to be around one thousand people that lived there. They traveled for two days straight before they could see the town off in the distance with binoculars. It would be another half day before they got to the town. They decided that they would arrive towards the beginning of night and scout out the whole town before they would commence the assault.

When they arrived at the town under the cover of darkness, they made sure that were not seen or heard when they approached the town. Syn ordered several of their Jedi followers around the town to scout it out much like how they were instructed to in the meeting. Scout the towns, disable any large communication devices and signal arrays. After that was done, the leaders would determine whether that the town should be attacked at that time or to wait till a more viable time.

Their attack went off without a hitch much like Jason's and Muur's. All the towns people were caught off guard by the attack with no one being able to react quickly enough to fight back or escape. Both Master's Syn and XoXaan walked through the town killing and destroying everything in their path with destructive force abilities. XoXaan using lightning to strike anybody down that attempted to run by or escape, while Syn was sitting everything on fire with pyrokinesis. And much like what Muur and Jason did with their victims, both XoXaan and Syn would be bringing their victims back using a ritual similar, but they created new spawn out of the dead bodies, because Syn found that manipulating cells of the body is easier when they can't resist.

-Ajunta Pall-

After Ajunta had concluded the meeting, he returned to his house to make his preparations for his groups journey. When he entered his house, a vision began to flash before him, of his rise to power, conquering the galaxy and destroying the old Jedi order establishing a far more superior one in his image. Then the vision began to blur and fade into another vision, one of his failures and the loss of his order, and of his exile to unknown space. As he was watching this vision unfold in front of him, it began to fill him with anger and hatred. The visions began to fade again into darkness and all he could was the silhouette of what appeared to be a woman's figure. Before he could do or say anything to her, he was dragged violently towards the person and flung too his knees before the person. As he raised his head to look at the person, a ghostly white hand reached and grabbed him by the face and lifted him from the ground. When he saw the woman's face through the slits in her fingers, he became horrified by her visage.

"You will serve me!" was the only thing Ajunta Pall heard before he snapped back to reality and he was in his house. He was drenched in a cold sweat. He sat on the floor for a moment before getting up and going to rinse off his face with some cold water. As he splashed his face with water, he could have sworn he saw woman's face in the mirror, but as he blinked again it was gone. He sat down and began to meditate in the middle of the floor to clear his head because he did not know what was going on with all these weird visions. He eventually cleared his mind of the of the distractions and focused on the task at hand with the assault of Taanab.

Pall finished his preparations and assembled his troops and began moving north toward his first target. As he and his men were traveling, they came across a few padawans out walking about. It was Amara and her friends that they had come across.

"Padawans, what are you doing out here?" Pall asked sternly, concerned on what the padawans were doing out here. "We were just exploring the surrounding area Master Pall" Amara had said speaking up for the group.

"Hmph, well we have begun operations to seize control of this planet. It would be to late now for you join your master's young ones, so you will be joining us in our group. I hope you won't be a burden to me?" Master Pall said with a strict tone to his voice.

"We won't be, Master" The group of padawans said together. He nodded towards and then motioned to them to take their place in the group with the rest. They bowed to him and ran and joined the rest of the Jedi that were following Pall.

They continued their march for the next two days on foot, only stopping at night to sleep. On the second night, they arrived at their first town they are going to take control. After scouting out the town, Pall coordinated a plan that swoop across this town and take everyone one alive with little resistance from the townsfolk. With Pall's power and control of the force, enhancing the physical capabilities of the dark spawn and strengthening the connection of the jedi around him, they swarmed the town like a smothering cloud of darkness capturing and incapacitating as many and restraining the townsfolk. It only took a couple of hours to round up all them, numbering in the hundreds.

Wit all the people gathered in one area; Pall had all the Jedi with him gather around them in a giant alchemic circle. Pall's plan was to turn all these people in dark spawn doubling his current battalion with him. As he began to channel the force of the Jedi chanting into the people corrupting them and twisting their shape. As he was tapping into the dark side of the force, he felt his mind was teleported somewhere far away.

When he opened his eyes, he was on a world, but this world wasn't normal at all. This planet was corrupted and completely twisted by the dark side. The surface of the planet was cracked open with the pure essence of the dark side flowing out of them as if the core of the planet was giant dark swirling ball of hate, anger, despair, and death. The skies were covered with pitch black clouds with rolling thunder and lightning striking through the air. Pall stood up from the ground and began walking around trying to figure out where he was and how he got here. Pall walked for hours it seemed until he saw in the distance a temple. Pall trekked another couple of hours when he finally reached the base of the temple. When he got there, before him seemed like an endless staircase before even reach the top of the temple.

Pall began to walk up the stairs, and as he did so he began to feel his power drain from him the closer he got to the temple. When he reached the top of the stairs, he was completely drained of energy and felt like he had a foot in the grave upon standing in front of the entrance of the temple. Pall was completely unsettled the entire time and wanted to turn back now and get away as far as he could, but he couldn't for some powerful force is drawing him into the temple. His body proceeded to walk into the temple against his will. As he was walking into the temple, torches began to light up along the wall in this ghostly vibrant green fire lighting the way for him.

When he got to the back of the temple where his feet had led him, he became pale white from what he saw. It was the woman that had appeared in his vision whose face was twisted and ravaged by time and the dark side of the force. She was chained to down to the floor by pure light side energy tethers held together by six pillars that were inscribed with words of some ancient language that Pall had never seen before that glowed with power, although one of the pillars symbols was not lit up for some reason.

"Hello….my child…" the woman said with an exhausted breath. "Do you think…. you could…give me a hand?" She asked between a half-crooked smile on her face. Pall didn't want to help her, but he felt compelled to help her. He walked forward and bent down to help her, but before he knew it, her hand and shot forward and grabbed him by his neck, and her entire presence changed from the exhausted appearance she first had, to that of some who had overwhelming powerful figure. He long slender fingers slowly wrapped and tightened around his neck, as she slowly rose up from her knees standing strong before him and slowly lifting him a few inches from the ground with a smile silver lined smile streaking across her face hiding rows of razor sharp teeth.

As she looked into his scared eyes, her lips began to part, and she released him and began to laugh at his feeble being. "You humans amuse me so with feeble grasp on what true power really is." She said as she laughed at him. ��Now come, bow before your god little human, unless you want me to rip you apart limb from limb" she said smiling at him.

"I fear your power yes, but don't treat me for some fool witch. I can see you are shackled her in this place, you cannot do nothing to me beyond your grasp." Pall said to her in defiance as he rose from the ground.

She smiled and out reached her hand as far as she could and pulled him to her with the force and put him as his knees. "I may be shackled here in the darkness but do not presume that I have no power child. I am far older and more powerful than you will ever achieve. I have seen your future and it is short reigned, but I can change that future, only if you do as I say Pall."

"What do you know of my future witch!" He said looking up to her. She reached down with her hand plunged her fingertips into his temple and she showed him his future and that of those that followed him. She was right about his reign being short lived, and that of his legacy being lost to time. When she removed her fingers from his skull, he became drenched in sweat and begun panting as if he just ran around the planet.

"What will you have me do witch." He said to her like a beggar asking for water. "I will grant you the power that you d.e.s.i.r.e and more, but for you to deserve it, you will have to go a temple much like this one far off in unknown space, and destroy a pillar that resembles the ones here, freeing me from one of these shackles. After that is done, if you have proven yourself worthy, I will grant you more power. But to do this, you will need the help of your dark brethren to help break the seal on my chains. Can you do that child?" She said as she looked down upon him a cold look with her piercing black eyes as if she was staring into his soul.

"I will do as you wish, witch" Ajunta Pall had half reluctantly, half willingly. Abeloth's smile grew across her face. She lifted her hand up towards him, raising him into the air, and a burst of dark black and red energy swirled out of her hand and into Ajunta Pall, feeling him with power unmeasurable beyond anything he could imagine.

"Go, return now to the physical world, and you will do as I have commanded and search for the temple and break seal that binds me, and I will grant you more power than that I gave to you." Abeloth said standing over him.

"I will do as you ask wi-" before he could finish his sentence, she flicked her wrist and he was flung out of the temple and sent flying the air at tremendous speed from it, and when he opened his eyes he was back on Taanab, back in his body. When he returned it was as if he hadn't been gone at all, they were still in the circle performing the ritual of turning the townsfolk into dark spawn.

A smile came across his face as he could feel the power that was granted to him by the chained witch, and he began to fuel the ritual with his newly gifted power beyond any of what they have done before. The screams of townsfolk became so loud and twisted it became something unimaginable ever heard before. They started to be pulled together forming a massive creature that that stood well over twenty feet tall. The creature looked something that even a rancor would be afraid of. Its teeth were many and razor sharp. It's body black like obsidian. Claws long and massive, that looked like they could rip through a blast door. When it became whole, it opened its eyes for the first time revealing glowing red eyes that of pure evil, and let out a roar so loud it silenced everything else around the town.

When the ritual was over, all the Jedi slumped over, as they had been sapped of all their energy, but Ajunta Pall was still full of power flowing through him like never before. He stood up from he we sat, looking upon his new creation.

"I will do as you command witch, but on my terms." He whispered to himself with a small smile on his face. He raised his hands up to the air, unleashing a power display of force lighting so destructive it caused the air around them to tingle with static making everything stand up on end, lighting up the sky for any within many miles from the town to witness the lightshow.
