Embodiment Of Darkness

Chapter 3: The Annihilation of the Past

Darth Draconis, a fusion of man and machine, stood unwavering on the bridge of the Abyssal Fury, the dark heart of Darth Malgus's war machine. His loyalty to the Sith Lord was unwavering, his resolve to destroy both his Jedi past and the Jedi Order stronger than ever.

Malgus, pleased with his apprentice's unwavering commitment, spoke with a sinister grin. "The time has come, Draconis. We shall obliterate the Jedi Order and ensure that your past is nothing but ashes."

Draconis' cybernetic fingers clenched, and he nodded in agreement. "I am your weapon, Darth Malgus. The Jedi will fall."

With that, the Abyssal Fury descended upon a remote Jedi outpost, the defenders unaware of the impending doom that loomed above them. Draconis, fueled by his anger and thirst for vengeance, led the assault with ruthless efficiency. The crimson blades of his lightsabers danced through the ranks of Jedi defenders, cutting them down one by one.

The outpost crumbled under the onslaught, and Draconis reveled in the chaos he had wrought. His cybernetic form was an embodiment of destruction, a relentless force that showed no mercy. The past that had betrayed him was now being erased in a storm of fire and blood.

But as the battle raged on, a familiar presence among the Jedi caught Draconis' attention—a face he had once cherished, Saria. She fought valiantly, her blue lightsaber blazing with defiance. Memories of their shared past clawed at him, but his newfound hatred for the Jedi Order drowned them out.

Draconis charged toward Saria, his red blades clashing with her blue in a spectacular display of power. Their duel was intense, fueled by the passion of lovers turned bitter enemies. But Draconis' cybernetic enhancements gave him an edge, and he overpowered Saria, disarming her and leaving her defenseless.

With a malicious grin, Draconis raised his crimson lightsaber, ready to strike the final blow. But in that moment, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. Could he truly destroy the woman he had loved? The hesitation cost him, as Saria's fellow Jedi rallied to her aid, driving Draconis back.

Darth Malgus watched with growing impatience as Draconis faltered. His anger erupted, and he unleashed a torrent of dark side energy, sending both Jedi and Sith flying. Draconis was knocked to the ground, his loyalty tested to the breaking point.

In the chaos, Draconis made a choice—to defy Malgus and escape the maelstrom of violence. Igniting his lightsabers, he carved a path to retreat, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Malgus's furious cries echoed in his ears as he made his escape.

Vexen had embarked on a path to annihilate his past, to destroy the Jedi Order that had betrayed him. But in that moment of hesitation, he had spared Saria's life, leaving a glimmer of doubt in his heart. The galaxy was now a battlefield where vengeance and redemption collided, and Vexen stood at the crossroads of his destiny, uncertain of the path he would ultimately choose.
