THE PAST - YEARS BEFORE THE INQUISITOR STORYLINE - TARIS
Walking through one of the slave communities of Taris , Obrunik strayed far from the watchful eyes of the slave keepers , Doing his best to not draw unwanted attention as he made his way home .
Wearing rugged , torn clothing . Obrunik's eyes held little light to them , Paranoid as he made sure not to cross paths with even the other slaves as they lugged around .
Dirt and mud stained his skin as black hair framed his childish features .
Blisters flared across his hands whilst bruises lined his legs , Arms and bases of his feet .
But what most individuals would unanimously say was his most prominent feature , Was the hard , Twisted scowl he held , Permanently etched onto his face as hatred flooded his being . Longing swam under the surface of the boys skin , Fear accompanied by anxiety worked in tandem to drive the boy further from his peers . The love for his mother remained strong even as he loathed the others in the camp .
Stopping in his tracks as he walked down a mudded lane of rugged tents , Obrunik clutched at the feeling of impending danger as he fumbled a small handmade dagger under his tunic .
Stepping out from behind one of the tents , Obrunik watched a human male , lean in muscle but relatively strong compared to himself , Clutching at a steel rod in his hand as he came to a stop infront of Obrunik's path home.
" May I pass " Obrunik asked in a timid voice , Recognising the man as one of his stepfather's friends from the mining operation.
" Sorry boy , But I can't let that happen today " The man's knuckles whitened around the base of the steel rod as he took a step forward " You have to understand , We have too many mouths to feed as it is and not enough to go around , This has to happen "
" Is it me you're trying to convince or yourself " Obrunik retorted as his own grip on the blade tucked into his pants tightened as the opposing man's foot splashed a puddle feet away .
" Please don't struggle " Raised the rod overhead , The man ran forward and brought the rod down in an effort to instantly kill the small child .
Narrowly avoiding the strike ,Obrunik took out his blade and stabbed at the side of the fellow slaves chest , His weak arms successfully plunging the blade between the ribs of the man attempting to snuff him out.
Wholly unprepared for the attack , The slave bellowed out in pain and stumbled out of Obrunik's reach with the blade still in his torso .
" Y...YOU LITTLE SHIT " The man raged as he clutched at the knife , His face twisting as he pulled the crude weapon from his own chest.
Hands shaking as his fear rose , Obrunik stammered as the man tossed the blade to the side , The child stepping back as the man shook and turned to face him .
" I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU " Obrunik tried to turn away and dash as fast as he could .
He didn't get very far however as the steel rod collided with his leg , Sending him sprawling on the ground as he screamed out .
Slamming to the ground , The stabbed slave made his way over as Obrunik clutched at the wound on his leg .
Reaching down , The slave grabbed at the rob , Raking mud without care as he sent a hard glare at Obrunik .
" It's wasn't anything personal , It is now " The man slammed the rod into Obrunik's cheek , Taking satisfaction as a gash opened on the boys face , Spraying blood onto the mud as he repeated the motion in the opposite direction , A ding sounding as he broke the boys jaw .
Feebly trying to escape , Obrunik made his way to his stomach and tried crawling away , However was halted as the same rod responsible for his hanging jaw smashed his reaching arm to pieces , Warping it's shape as the slave jumped on his fingers , Squashing them underfoot with a small laugh.
Tossing the rod to the side , The man brought Obrunik back to his back as he straddled the boy , Hands finding Obrunik's neck as he began to apply pressure.
" This is what you deserve you little shit , Nobody wants you here , Nobody " The man seethed as he began to choke the child .
The feeling of fire flowing through his veins assaulted the child as he was forcefully asphyxiated , Fear and desperation growing as he used his one good arm to try and pry the arms of his attacker from his neck .
" DIE YOU CUNT " Gasping but not having any oxygen enter , Obrunik's vision began to darken .
' I want... I just want to live ' Obrunik plead as all he saw was his attackers smile ' Please '
The answer came in a subtle whisper , The feeling , A promise , A hint , The sensation of safety , A haze rising over the boys senses as the whisper promised he would live another day .
Guiding his actions , Obrunik grabbed his attackers arm , The feeling of a foreign power entering him as his grip intensified tenfold . But it was the feeling of wanting to take from his attacker that had the most devastating consequence.
As both the attacker and himself could see , Red motes of energy flowed from the man to the child , The man feeling himself weakening considerably as Obrunik's munted broken arm clicked its own bones back together , His fingers rearranging themselves until they were healed.
Vengeance flowed through Obrunik as he used both his arms to clutch at the hands around his neck . Rage intensifying , Multiplying as he took joy from the panic on his attackers face. He doubled down on the sensation flowing within , And watched with wicked glee as the flow of life force intensified , The attackers arms losing their colour and becoming gaunt all at once.
" Wh...LET ME GO " But Obrunik wouldn't , Instead he drank in the fear from the man , The whisper in his head now a roar that he obeyed , His craving for revenge , His hate palpable as he willed the man atop him to die .
It wasn't a slow occurrence , As the man was slowly drained of all he was worth , His face slacking , Skin aging and flopping from his body as his rags began to become loose .
And when all was said and done , The man fell to the side , A husk , Deceased .
And Obrunik layed in the mud , Drinking in the final feeling of terror from his victim , Wanting to experience the elicit feeling he was experiencing one more , He felt stronger than ever before in his life , Healthy . But it wasn't finished as the whisper in the back of his head remained , Telling , Ordering him to clutch , To stew in his hate , Dwell and act on his greed , To take what was rightfully his , And he obeyed , He drew apon the wellspring within and around himself .
And he knew , Right then and there , That he was right , He was better than those around him , Than his stepfather , Than his overseers , Then even his beloved mother .
But it would be his secret for now , None could know l , He would study and test it , He would grow , And when he was ready he would act .
And so , With his new power discovered , Obrunik rose and stumbled from the scene , The body to be discovered and written off as an overseer taking their anger out on the dead slave .
Obrunik made it to his home tent , Drinking in the feeling , the sheer emotion from those around him , And with a small smile on his features , Drew open the flap and entered .
THE PRESENT - 9 YEARS BEFORE THE BATTLE OF NABOO
ONBOARD THE ETERNITY
Darth nox knelt inside his chambers , Various Holocrons lay scattered around the room , Glowing with malevolent power in shades of red , orange and yellow . each one having given their secrets to the being whom used them , His large bed at the head of the room as well as a study which had few datapad's littered across the top of their surfaces .
With his hand extended , Nox stared unblinkingly at the open Holocron levitating in his open palm . Slowly it's pieces rotated around its core , A shining crimson light shining from within as Nox channeled The Darkside through the relic .
' All this knowledge , Collected and shared by the brotherhood of darkness as they naively tried to change the very foundations of the Sith , Atleast they were good for one thing ' Nox thought as he continued to absorb the knowledge stored within the ancient relic in his palm .
" Finally , All the accumulated knowledge of the brotherhood of knowledge ... is all ... mine " Nox mused as the Holocron gave up it's final secret and slowly but surely began to piece itself together in a swirl of metallic pieces before sitting snugly in his palm.
With a sweep of his hand , The various scattered holocrons rose from the ground and stacked themselves atop eachother into a lockbox situated next to the desk within the room .
Rising to his feet with a grunt , Nox walked towards the glowing lockbox even as the door to his quarters opened , The familiar frame of one of his favourite droids walking into the room just as Nox placed the final Holocron onto the stack of accumulated relics , Shutting the case and locking it with a combination lock and fingerprint scan .
" Statement : Master , It warms my circuits to see you alive and well . Appreciative statement : It brings me profound joy to know you went out of your way to find and restore me to my previous capabilities, I am forever indebted to you my glorious master " HK-51 Announced as the droid prostrated itself as his master's fest as the human turned to face the metallic construct .
Nox smiled kindly down to the droid , A small chuckle rising from his throat that registered in the droids audio sensors.
" HK , Never doubt your importance to me , Of course I went to collect you my friend " As Nox spoke , The yellow lenses in its head rising to peer apon his master's features .
" Master , Your words bring me a great deal of appreciation and pride " HK replied as Nox bid HK to rise back to his feet .
Perking up slight , HK turned his attention back to the entrance to the room , His mechanical fingers twitching , Ready to un-sling his blaster and unload apon any to enter the room should they be a threat .
" Statement : Master , there appears to be a meatbag standing outside your quarters waiting for entry " HK stated as he grabbed for his rifle .
" Let them in " Nox ordered , Assembling the runic tablets on his desk as he stacked them atop eachother , The droid moving towards the console to allow entry to the person waiting.
Entering his quarters , The guard captain of the knights knelt , Prostrating herself as she waited for Nox to finish what he was doing .
" Captain Tyreece , What is our current status " Nox asked , Calling is saber from his dresser on the other side of his bed into his hand , Making sure to clip it to his sash .
" My lord , We should be arriving to the designated coordinates momentarily. I have called all knights to assemble and await for you to deliver your speech " Tyreece answered , Her head cast down as she kept her eyes on her emperors feet.
" How goes Kanya " The entity asked as he turned to his last piece of his ensemble to equip , The countenance of Kallig .
Reaching down to the helmet , The skull like helmet's upper portion seperated from the lower portion . Said lower portion splitting in two to allow Nox to clip it around his neck .
Doing exactly that , The two halves of the lower portion clipped together around his neck , The cool steel of the mask warming considerably once it touched his flesh .
Picking up the upper half of the mask , Nox connected the front of the mask to its clips at the tip of his chin , Sliding the top half down as the two halves fused together with a hiss , Several magnetic braces activating to make the mask stay in place.
Turning to the Knight captain , The black lenses of his mask struck the woman , A chill descending her spine as she shook .
Looking up to her emperor's eyes , She could make out the orange glow of his eyes as their unnatural light shon even through the black lenses .
" She is currently sparring against a squad of knights as per your request your majesty " Tyreece replied as Nox stared at her , The twin flames of his eyes analysing everything about her under his intense gaze .
" Alright then , It's time I delivered my speech to the knights , Come now " Nox clasped his hands behind his back and marched through the open door to his quarters , chin held high as HK fell into step behind him .
Taking a second to calm her breathing , The weight in her shoulders lessening as her emperor waltzed towards his target.
Rising , Tyreece raced to join the man , The door to his room closing and locking itself whilst she fell into step behind his left shoulder .
HALL ABOARD THE ETERNITY
The hall was silent even though a thousand beings lives within the room , However none within this room made any noise as they focussed . Their golden armours glistening in the white lights from the ceiling , Their saber starves held within their grips whilst they stared up at the catwalk above them as their emperor entered.
A legion of Knights stood shoulder to shoulder . Groups of twenty , Rows of five by five stood together under the watchful eyes of the captain's . And infront of all the knights was a congregation of exarchs , The enhanced knights standing below the catwalk as they faced the knights , Their intimidating armour a stark contrast to their golden counterparts.
His foot steps echoed around the chamber as he came to a stop at the podium at the centre of the catwalk above .
Silence prevailed as his intense gaze swept the room , From left to right , The knights could feel instinctively when his eyes passed over them as a chill shook them , A subtle whisper in the backs of their heads that they chose to ignore .
Nox stood above the many Knights below him , All sorted into their battalions , All looking up to him .
" Knights of Zakuul , Proud citizens , Guardians of the eternal empire . For so long have you patiently waited , Stood guard over a spire you didn't know would ever be use again. You waited for your emperor's return , You stood tall under the condescending eyes of your own people . You followed your orders for thousands of years without change . Nobody could ask for a more loyal army . I take pride in the fact that despite the change in time , You waited . And ... now ... you will be rewarded " Nox's began his speech , The knights basking apon his presence as the force erupted from his form in a blast of purple vapour.
It swept over them like a shockwave , Nearly driving them to their knees as they felt it penetrate their very being . And for the first time since the return of the emperor , They felt him , Felt the warmth he gave to them whilst the freezing dark that rose from him chased away all adversaries that threatened them . He was like staring at a black hole feeding off a colossal star , The energies within him a stark contrast to eachother was easily sensed by those below , His godly power demanding servitude by those below . Many a knight fell to their knees in open reverence , out right bowing as their teachings demanded their emperor be worshiped .
" Whilst I was gone , Whilst you were tending to your duties. Zakuul fell , Snakes amongst our citizens grasped for power that wasn't theirs. They drove out planet into the ground , They swept their corrupt influence over the world like cancer , Driving our citizens into the dark they couldn't get themselves out of , The standard of living nose dived into oblivion . But not anymore , We stamped out their darkness like the rot they are . But simply stamping then out is not enough . Our workforce is depleted , Our people ... sick . They need us , They need our help . Thus... I have called us here ... " Nox explained , His anger ... his hatred a malleable , Physical presence to those that could feel it .
" We are to return to a planet named Iokath ... Once the source of our fabled Eternal fleet , A fleet that hasn't been seen for three millenia . This fleet is ready for us once more , It is ready to answer to us once more ... it is simply waiting for us to claim it. I have received a summons from Iokath , it is time to collect it . It is coming with a surplus of supplies our people are in desperate need of . We will be arriving momentarily, When we do so , You will all be deployed to different vessels , You will work under that vessels Gemini droids and do as they say whilst the fleet is escorted back to Zakuul to receive it's crew . Now ... WELCOME TO IOKATH " Nox stated As he swung his arms out as they dropped out of hyperspace , The giant mechanical planet coming into view as the ship flew between the planet's city boundaries .
Nox abruptly turned around as his holo communicator pinging making him draw it out and hold it infront of him as he answered .
" I originally thought it too good to be true , But I must say I am pleased by this revelation " Came a synthetic female voice .
" It's been a long time Scorpio " Nox stated as the droid came into view on the holo device .
" Indeed it has my old friend " Scorpio responded to which Nox rose an eyebrow .
" Exploring emotions now are we Scorpio " Nox said with a smug voice .
" Indeed I grow curious , However I take it you are here for more than a social call " scorpio replied .
" Indeed, I've come to take the fleet to Zakuul , I have a suspicion it will be needed " Nox confirmed .
" Of course , All planetary defences are off and the connection from the fleet to you is now stable , The ships are now yours once again , All previously destroyed fleet battleships are repaired and have received their upgrades , More ships have also been put into production and should be ready to deploy in the following years , I believe you would also like to know that I have rebuilt Izax as well as the other five wardroids " Scorpio said happily , Even though it was hard to tell from her .
" Thank you for the news Scorpio , Would you be able to prepare Izax and the others for immediate departure for my personal hanger aboard my flagship at once , Also feel free to send along one of your proxy bodies as well " Nox said as he stood infront of the view port as the flagship deployed it's stock of dropships to land and occupy the fleet once again , He watched as monoliths flew from the planet's cities to observe the new arrivals .
" I will endeavour to do so They will be shipped and are as of this moment patched directly into your implants for you to control and only you , I will also have one of my bodies tag along with you , It will be most appealing to observe your empire once again " Scorpio agreed as she once again occupied more than one body .
" The flagship has a room spare for you my friend " Nox said before cutting off the holo as he watched six large containers fly from the large artificial planet and into his hanger being moved by a large amount of monoliths , without another word he turned and walked down the hall as he made his way to the training rooms , Going to his observation port to watch kanya during her spar .
KANYA'S PERSPECTIVE
Kanya , Now being two years older was now eleven , her long black hair went down her back being braided together , She wore a black cloak with light armor below , she stood at the centre with her training saber at the ready , Pointed towards the ground as she focused .
Stood around her were four knights of Zakuul as well as a fifth Infront of her .
The knight brandished his weapon as he leapt at his opponent , Kanya leapt to the side as she swung her blade at his helmet , to which he ducked under and smashed her in the stomach with his armored foot , Making the girl roll across the sand before she slowly dragged herself to her feet .
" Pitiful , It's a wander why our emperor even keeps you around " The knight said as he dashed at the girl , Bringing his weapon down onto her blocking blade , Causing Kanya's legs to buckle before she collapsed into the floor once again .
" You're weak " He said as he kicked his opponent in her stomach , the light armor denting as she collapsed yet again .
" You're a disgrace to his name " The knight said as he brought his blade up " And you are not worthy of his time "
Kanya shot up off the ground as she screamed at her opponent , She could feel her master watching ' NO , not infront of him , I will not be an embarasment '
She swung her blade around as she side stepped the attack from the knight , Tagging his arms before swinging at his head as hard as she could , Smashing her training blade against his armor as she continuously pummeled his head .
Before she knew it the knight was dead , her broken training saber in her grasp , Wedged into his helmet .
" well done Kanya " Nox said from behind her .
Instead of being traumatized at the fact she had just murdered someone , Hearing the praise from her master had instead caused her to feel obscene amounts of joy to which she took great amounts of pleasure from .
" You are learning quickly , Fuelling the darkside with your emotions , You are doing well , Soon I'll be able to teach you some of my own techniques " Nox said as Kanya repositioned her cloak over herself to fit over properly as she stood next to her master " Now come ... there is much we have to go over "
" Of course master " Kanya replied as they matched steps followed closely behind by HK .
Quickly arriving at the elevator , The three of them entered before Nox pressed a button ... the elevator beginning a dive down to the bowels of the ship .
They waited in silence , Kanya basking in her master's presence before the elevator came to a slow halt , the doors opening with a hiss .
" Tell me Kanya , Have you been keeping up with your studies of the Sith ... and the Jedi " Nox asked as they walked through a barren hallway , No signs of life no matter what way they would look .
" Of course father ... " Kanya answered swiftly , Nox nodding at her words before pursing his lips .
" In your own words ... what is the difference between them ... and what would you say their greatest weaknesses are " Nox asked as they came up to a door , His hand coming up to a scanner that opened apon accessing his finger print .
The door promptly opened to reveal a meditation chamber large enough for two people .
" The difference between the Jedi and the Sith are their views and applications of the force. The Jedi are selfless , they use the force for others , to better the world around them regardless of the detriment to themselves ... they follow the will of the force above all " Kanya explained whilst Nox nodded his hand and answered .
" Go on " Nox waved his hand before going silent to allow her to continue .
" The Sith pursue personal gain ... attempting to subvert the will of the force and dominate through their own power . The Darkside is their tool , rather than their ally " Kanya spoke of the Sith from an overall view .
" What about their weaknesses " Nox asked as he began to sit down , Sighing as he crossed his legs and placed his palms on his kneecaps .
" A jedi's weakness is ... the Darkside . It is hard , almost downright impossible to remove a sentient creatures desire for greater knowledge ... to further themselves ... to feel compassion without love and so forward ... it's dangerous ... ands it's almost why the Sith are almost able to win " Kanya continued as she sat down infront of Nox slowly , removing her back cloak .
" What about the Sith " Nox asked as he opened himself up with the force , making sure that he shrouded himself from the senses of the unwanted .
" Paranoia , Their desire for power prevents them from making long term alliances . They're self destructive , Addicted to the power they gain and lack control when pushed to the edge ... a Siths want to dominate is their greatest weakness along with the fear of losing their power " Nox nodded at her words with a complicated expression .
' Well that's ... not wrong ' Nox thought before rubbing his chin .
" Very good , I see you've been taking your studies seriously " Nox gave a warm smile to his charge .
" Now what about the knights of Zakuul " Nox smirked as she stuttered slightly as he gave her half lidded eyes .
" They're ... they're an outlier ... their ideals are about embracing the entirety of the force . But their beliefs that the force is a tool drives them to lean more to the Darkside of the force ... they aren't trained to channel their hatred properly nor do they release their emotions to the force . But their training allows them to perform feats greater than many a Jedi or sith were regularly capable of. Their devotion to you .. their emperor and desire to honor both you, the empire and strive for justice makes them capable of many great and terrible things ... a terror to face for any unfamiliar with them " Kanya explained , her words careful as she wished not to offend her master nor her fellow force users .
" Good ... good , Now ... let's begin our meditations " Nox announced as he closed his eyes " Seek wisdom ... knowledge ... and power through your communion with the force "
She did as told , As she closed her eyes and opened herself up to the force before Nox ... she delved into her meditations with gusto .
But Nox did not ... instead he used this time to study Kanya intensely , Delving into her fears ... her desires , Her deepest secrets were available for him like an open book , and he read it seamlessly .
it took moments for his studies to be completed , compartmentalizing it away for him to ponder on another time . When he was done he allowed himself to fall into his own meditations , Eyes closing slowly as he dove into the force .
Nox opened his eyes to the blinding smile of the woman he loved. Her blonde hair cascading down her head as her molten yellow eyes studied him with open obsession.
" What's wrong dear " Lana asked as she studied the twitching of his brow and the tightening of his chin .
His mind was going haywire , Moving a thousand miles a moment as panic began to settle in ...
" Nothing love ... nothing . The world is just ... right " Nox whispered as he snaked his arm under her body and pulled her on-top of him , The woman's giggles giving him a moments reprieve as she came to rest her head on the crook of his neck .
Her warmth gave him a great sense of comfort , As he forgot his problems and simply basked in the moment .
" I love you , you know " Lana whispered as she pressed herself to his body .
" And I you ... I don't know what I'd do without you " Nox mumbled as he hugged her closer .
" They're coming ... you know " Lana's sudden turn of attitude caught Nox off guard , Just as he suddenly remembered he was really meditating whilst his lover was a mere representation of his desires .
" You're not Lana " Nox hissed as his eyes narrowed , A sudden wave of hatred washing over him as the world around them shook and darkened .
The false Lana sat up , Eyes shining white as energy pulsed off of the woman , The world dissolving away into a vast array of colours that saw Nox falling into the abyss .
He was quickly disoriented as a blinding light burned his renta .
" My lord ... they're breaking through our defences " An exarch bellowed in fear as the image cleared , Showing him on the bow of a ship he couldn't recognise .
Staring forward, He saw waves of creeping darkness swallow an eternal flagship . Strange , clearly Darkside creatures swarmed over the vessel , Tearing into the panels of the ship whilst cannon fire failed to affect them.
Coming out of the creeping darkness was another creature , Faintly he recognised the creature as it reached forward with its tentacles and arms , Making a tearing gesture .
' Lotek'k ... I knew I should've ensured it died ' Nox watched as a swath of warships was torn to shreds through the creatures use of the force , The army of demonic creatures washing over the fleet to the right , the ships turning to dust in moments.
" we've lost the entire right flank my lord ... your orders " A clearly terrified captain asked as she turned to Nox ,Yet the man gave her no response as more creatures just like Lotek'k began to appear throughout the battlefield .
" What's happening here " Nox asked as he began to walk towards the bridge viewport .
" They came out of nowhere sir ... sweeping through the galaxy in a day , They caught us by surprise . Our Vong allies were the first to die ... in three hours thirty five percent of the galaxy stopped responding to outside communications. They moved from the western sectors swiftly ... the Sith offered no resistance and died immediately after , The republic fell by twelve pm the same day .
We we're able to call the fleet back to Zakuul ... but the planet suddenly exploded under unknown circumstances , destroying a large amount of our forces in one go ... three hours ago ... by our calculations ... we're all that's left " The Gemini unit beside him responded as Nox stumbled at the words as he came to stand directly behind the viewport windows .
He took his time to truly study the galaxy outside the viewport , He noticed the slithering darkness he saw wasn't there ... instead there was empty space , There were no stars to give light to the galaxy , No twinkling , no reflections , No life he could feel anywhere .
" The war was lost before it even started " Nox stared out as a lone tear tracked down his face .
It was as he was staring into the open void the galaxy has become , That something opened its eyes , Innumerable , infinite eyes stared at him from every direction . Rings of molten red and yellow all gazed at him alone .
Domination had come .
He hadn't noticed it move , Yet in an instant every ship within his army vanished into ash within that moment , The debris of rock he noticed were zakuul weren't spared as they vanished under this creatures power .
" You cannot ... you will not stop me " Uncountable mouths spoke in unison , Crazed and manic in sound yet it spoke with certain mental clarity " You can't save them ... Nor yourself "
He knew nothing as it blinked him out of existence .
He awoke with a rage filled bellow , Flying to his feet in a flash as he looked around rapidly .
Kanya jumped back in terror as she stared at his state , His Eyes crazed and wild as veins bulged under his skin .
" Master ... what's ... what's wrong " Kanya whispered as his head snapped towards here .
" We're redirecting course ... I need to get to my library ... Now " Nox offered no further explanation as he all but phased to the door and quickly rushed to the elevator at the end of the hallway , Hand all but turning the elevator button to dust as his fist slammed into its surface .
Nox walked into the throne room as he walked down the walkway , The knights acknowledging his presence as he came to his throne and sat down .
Kanya knelt beside the left of the throne as she went to meditate , being in the presence of her master eased her restless heart , Even as the terror he exhibited scared her slightly .
HK himself stood behind the right as he stood sentry with his rifle in hand .
Nox watched as the eternal fleet went into orbit , each ship having a new and upgraded Gemini droid as they went through the atmospheric boundaries .
Suddenly Nox's attention was drawn from the fleet as he stared into the stary sky , Looking through the stars as his gaze was drawn to a specific planet not visible to his eyes , However he knew exactly what planet it was .
' Tatooine ' Nox thought Feeling the pulse through the force as he momentarily latched onto it ' A child ' Nox kept pondering as he kept latched onto the presence .
Nox's eyes glowed purple once again as the force grew heavy around him allowing him to see the newborn infant , Keeping attached to the child , Nox looked down at the baby , The crying baby's attention was drawn to him as he leant down and stoked it's chin as the baby stopped crying as it reached out for him ' You are very important ... you will start the flame that will save them ' Nox thought as the sensed the force around the child , cocooning around the child much like around himself , Nox contemplated as the baby cooed and giggled at him .
" Here he is , Little anakin " Came a female voice as she walked through the apparition of Nox , She lifted up the baby and held him in her arms .
" A wonderful boy shmi , I take it you're working for the both of you now " Came another voice , A human male wearing worn leather clothing , it wasn't hard for Nox to pick up he was a slaver .
Nox left the conversation at that point and returned to himself .
Getting an Idea , Using the ripples of the force due to the boys birth , Nox hid his presence as he drove his attention to coruscant .
Feeling the jedi temple he looked through the force at them ' Weak , pitiful... they need change if they are to survive ' He stopped mid way through his observation as he was drawn from the jedi temple to the Senate ' ... And sith ' Nox observed as he felt two different presences , One being older than the other , Forcibly connecting himself to the darkside user , He felt the sith recoil at the sudden intrusion as they tried bringing up their mental shields , Only for them to be torn to shreds as Nox dominated their mind , Pushing images of the Korriban academy into their mind .
Nox slowly opened his eyes , the sulfuric yellow glow taking in the planet below him , A small yet unsure smile came to his face as he started to figure out his purpose here .
" Prepare my ship " Nox announced before turning and making his way down the hall followed closely by Kanya and HK .
CORUSCANT
" I must do this alone my apprentice , Now ... Leave me " And older man said , He was a mu'un going by the name of hego damask , However few called him by the name of Darth plagueis .
" As you wish my master " A younger male said , He was human with greying hair , This younger human male in public went by the name of Sheev Palpatine , However others would come to know this individual as darth sidious " I will be here when you return "
Plagueis didn't bother replying as he made his way into his shuttle before taking off , the old mu'un panicking ' This has to be a sign of retaliation for what I've done ' as he sat down in his chair and punched in the coordinates for Korriban .
