Grand Admiral Thrawn has decimated the Rebel Fleet, forcing them to postpone their assault on Lothal. Needing a new base, the remaining Rebels regroup on Yavin 4 with the rest of the Rebellion.
Little do the Rebels know however, that the Sith Lord D...
"My Master, if I may offer you some advice..." Darth Nyla turned her head slightly as she overlooked the empty space form the bridge of the old Sith Empire Star Destroyer. "And What is this advice, my Apprentice?" She asked, her voice brooding. "Why not go in quietly so you can keep your return a secret from the Empire? We get your saber back and give you time to grow in strength." "I will not sit back and watch as my Galaxy is taken over by the wrong rulers." I walked closer to her slowly, and she turned round to face me, her feet still hovering above the ground. "I know the power of the Emperors Apprentice first hand. He is not to be underestimated I can assure you that." Nyla floated past me then turned back to look at me, "you mean Darth... Vader?" My eyes widened slightly, how did she know his name? "Yes... he is powerful, once the Chosen One, perhaps he still is. However when the time comes, he will fall. I do not know this Emperor you speak of, but if he is the one controlling the Galaxy then he will die too. I know their power, Kronus, and I will not underestimate them, but perhaps you do have a point." I raised my eyebrow, "what do you mean?" "These... Rebels as you call them do not need to know of our existence yet, as they would only alert the Galaxy and in turn the Empire. We will take my lightsaber stealthily from the temple and return to Korriban." I looked down, "and what will happen to me when this is over?" Nyla held my chin and brought my head up to look at her. "You wish to see the girl, don't you?" Her tone was soft and forgiving. "Do not worry, you will be reunited with her once this is over." She turned to look out the window as I went back to controlling the Destroyer. This ship was old, but it got the job done, in a way, I respected the mechanics of this ship. It was the first of the infamous Destroyers the Empire used to terrorise the Galaxy. Mind you, Hera would love this. I shook my head, no time for them now. No time for the Rebellion or the Empire, they would both fall eventually.
"Lord Vader, we're coming up on Korriban." Vader stayed as still as a statue, "prepare my shuttle," he said before turning and walking away. "Yes my Lord," The Admiral replied with his head down as Vader walked away from him.
The Shuttle came down right next to the Sith Temple, and it became clear that the Lambda ships were not built to fit into tight spaces when landing. The ramp fell down and Vader walked out followed by four Imperial Death Troopers, and the deeper into the temple they got, the more powerful Vader could feel radiating off of it. The Death Troopers spoke in gargles. Even though they spoke regularly to other Imperial Officers, Vader was technically higher ranking than them, and as such was able to understand their language. "Search every room, I want every part of this temple checked." The Troopers spread out around the temple while Vader kept to the main auditorium. As a Sith, he knew who every single one of the statues were representing. What caught his eye however was the carving on one of the stone walls which showed the image of a hooded figure holding a sphere that levitated in the palm of his hand. Vader knew this prophecy, or at least knew the person that was said to fulfil it. Eventually however, he got to the throne room, even though there wasn't any throne. "He was here," Vader said to himself as he gazed around the room. On the furthest wall there was a tapestry depicting six figures with red lightsabers all kneeling around a woman with black hair, her arms raised and lightning crackling between her fingers. Vader looked down and saw a small slot cut out of the tapestry and into the rock in the shape of a lightsaber hilt. Vader walked over to the tapestry and felt the material it was weaved from. "Darth Nyla..." he took his Saber, ignited it and slashed through the material. There could only ever be two, but now if what he thought was correct, there were now four. Suddenly, the gargled sound of a Death Trooper spoke behind him before he retarded his lightsaber. "Tell the others to return to the shuttle." The Death Trooper turned and walked back the opposite way as Vader studied the room and eventually his eyes laid on a large dusty book with leather binding. The cover was embossed with gold and showed a Sith Holocron fully open. He Opened the book at a random page and was greeted by the figure of the same woman that was weaved into the tapestry on the wall. Looming over a planet that Vader didn't know, neither did the book include the name of which made it practically useless. Although there was little information to be found however, the book did speak this "one day she shall return, one day she will take back the weapon that is rightfully hers, and one day she will take back the Galaxy she lost." Vader levitated the book with the Force and turned to leave the Temple, but once the book left the throne room Vader felt a small vibration, which grew in strength quickly making him stumble, and soon he noticed small cracks beginning to form in the ground beneath him and piercing the roof above his head. Grabbing the book, he got back up and began to run. As chunks began to fall from the rock overhead, Vader had to jump over large gaps that had formed in the ground as the cascading Temple attempted to swallow him hole. Eventually he got to the exit as he ignited his lightsaber to slice a rock in two that was falling directly on top of him. He threw the book out of the temple, propelling it with the Force, then just before a rock came down on him, he raised his arms and used the Force to stop it from impacting on him. He pushed the rocks to the side and looked back at the collapsed temple.
"Darth Nyla, I'm coming for you."
Just wanted to let you know that I've started on the second last chapter.
