Vengeance: A Sith's Story (Male Sith OC x Star Wars)

Chapter 17: The Academy

Hi all, just a reminder that if things seem out of place, or some details are altered in strange places, it's because I have no idea how to alter it in any other way to fit my story, this goes for the previous chapter, the chapter before that, and maybe the next chapter.

Thanks :)

Now, on with the chapter!

Mandalore:

Satine watched as the two ships, Jedi and Sith Empire, landed on the docks. As the doors opened, Grand Emperor Malidictus walked out, accompanied by his chosen Templar Warrior, Darth Dren, to help assist the Jedi with teaching the young of Mandalore on the horrible truth of corruption. "My lady, if I may, what do the Sith and Jedi know of our ways?" Almec asked rather annoyed. "Surely there's nothing to fear by exposing them to new ideas," Satine Smugly replied as both the Grand Emperor and Jedi approached them, with Anakin still glaring at Malidictus, and the Grand Emperor simply ignoring such childish acts. "Why are you here?" Accused Anakin. "Because, Skywalker, unlike the false Sith, I have been trying to create positive ties with certain worlds. You forget that me and my empire are far different than the pretenders that you, have faced. May I remind you that I don't let my anger corrupt me. Yes I use it, and yes I use the dark side, but I do not let it corrupt me. Get it through your head that we are different and stop trying to persecute us when I have been trying to make amends for my past. Master Yoda seems to understand that, why can't you?" Malidictus coldly responded. Anakin just glared at him in response, not being able to come up with a response in time.

Dren however, approached Ahsoka with a slight smile on his face. "Ahsoka," he said. "Dren," Ahsoka smiled back. "It is good to see you. It seems that we are once again working together, as teachers," he smiled as the Togruta did the same. Ignoring Malidictus, Anakin walked up to Satine. "Duchess Satine," he said, kissing her hand. "Satine," Malidictus smiled as he nodded, with the duchess nodding back and smiling a little.

"Prime minister Almec," Anakin continued. "Master Skywalker, Grand Emperor, it is good to see you both again," Satine said positively. Looking over, she saw Dren standing with Ahsoka. "This is your Padawan master Skywalker? And your Templar Warrior Grand Emperor?" She asked. "Indeed Satine. May I introduce Darth Dren, the youngest of our Templar Warriors, but nonetheless skilled," Malidictus smiled as Dren stepped forward with Ahsoka. "Yes my lady, may I present, Ahsoka Tano?" He said as Ahsoka nodded. "Duchess, Prime minister," they both said together, with Dren saying it in a bit less formal way.

"I am grateful that the Jedi Council could spare you to teach our leaders and peacekeepers of tomorrow. And the same can be said for you Grand Emperor, you have my thanks for your help in this matter," she said. The Grand Emperor nodded, "The Empire is always on the lookout for her allies. I do not wish to see a planet I once walked on come to ruin," he grinned. Anakin however, glared still at the Grand Emperor. "I trust there will be no conflict from either of you?" Satine asked Dren and Ahsoka. "Of course not my lady. Unlike some Jedi and Sith, me and Ahsoka are capable of keeping our heads and putting what matters first, instead of personal grudges," Dren said smiling. Normally, Malidictus would have chastised him in for such a comment, but in this case he let it slide, and even smirked when he saw Anakin's thoroughly annoyed face.

"That I am thankful of. Please thank Master Yoda for me," she said, referring to Anakin. "Uh...I'm afraid that due to a limited resources I must return to battle immediately," Anakin said. "Peacekeepers my arse," Dren muttered, earning him a glare from the Grand Emperor. "And what of you Grand Emperor?" Satine asked. "Unfortunately, I must return to Dathomir. The Separatists have been attempting to invade an imperial planet and I must go and drive them off. It seems they have become more of a pest than an actual threat these days. Ever since they attacked the capital planet and were repelled, their numbers have been dwindling when it comes to facing me," he said. "Ah, so the mighty Sith empire isn't as impenetrable as it portrays?" Anakin smirked. "We repelled them Skywalker, and unlike the Jedi, we are capable of taking matters into our own hands without having to rely on bickering children to make decisions for us. We are not incompetent, nor are we brainless. But from the way you act sometimes, you'd think that your only instinct was to cause as much collateral damage as possible," Malidictus calmly stated. Ahsoka, despite still being a Padawan, had to stifle a laugh at how accurate the Grand Emperor was, and Dren was no different.
