Prologue: Death
Serenno: Lab
Several weeks have passed since the attack on Theed, the capital of Naboo, where Desric and his army of Assassins quickly overthrew the royal army of the dead queen. Several weeks have passed since Aaron confronted Desric where Aaron's army of rebels battled Desric's army of assassins and the front steps of the royal palace. Several weeks have passed since Aaron finally Defeated Desric and watched him fall to his demise. And several weeks have passed since Desric was found alive, near the destroyed ship he fell down with, where he was soon rescued by his apprentice.
On the planet of Serenno, deep within the halls of Dooku's personal base, Desric is seen lying on top of an operation table where his arms and legs are strapped before a bright light shines upon his face…his burnt face.
As the medical droids begin to prepare for the surgery, the sith lord Count Dooku stands behind a mirrored glass while a small droid with four small claws slowly walk behind him before a hologram of the infamous Darth Sidious, master of Count Dooku, is projected beside Dooku as the procedure begins.
The med droids, along with a few engineering droids, soon begin the procedure where they soon inject Desric with drug that'll put him unconscious while the droids do their work with him. With his body motionless and his mind unable to feel the pain, the droids begin to cut Desric's body open as the surgery begins.
The sound of buzz saws, and drills, begins to echo through the lab as the droids drill several holes in several places of Desric's upper body, and cut openings on his muscels and bones. The droids begin to insert a system of tubes inside Desric's body where they connect to drilled in holes that are placed behind his neck, his arms, and his chest.
As the procedure goes on, a lot of blood is spilt as the droids begin to cut open Desric's chest where they see his hearting beating at a normal rate. The droids carefully insert more tubes and electrical wires inside his chest, avoiding the heart so that the test subject would not die.
While the droids continue their work, both Dooku and Sidious both watch the creation of their new instrument that will bring forth the downfall of the Republic. When Dooku first met Desric, he only saw him as an assassin who would soon fall from the Jedi. But as years went by, Dooku saw this assassin bring more victories to him than any of his generals besides Greivous and Ventress. He saw a great warrior who would serve him well in the coming future.
For Sidious, after he witnessed the events the unfolded on Naboo, he saw a place where Desric would serve by him and his apprentice. But after his defeat by Aaron, Sidious knew that there were "improvements" that needed to be made on Desric. If Desric was to serve him, he would want this boy's body ready to destroy any enemy that stands against him.
With the droids almost finished with their part, they soon open a hole on the back of Desric's head before they cut open a path that lead straight to his brain. Shortly after they had drilled to his brain, the medical droids soon sow up is chest before leaving a small square shape hole up open that was directly above his heart. The medical droids were now finished and the engineer droids began to do their work on Desric's body.
Several droids soon begin to insert a few wires inside his head before they attach them to his brain while one droid grabs a small device, that is the size of a child's hand, and drills it on the back of Desric's head, sealing the hole.
With his brain finished, other droids activated a small anti-gravity device on the side of the table, where they were able to flip Desric's body over for them to wok on his pack. It isn't long until one droid gabs a long robotic spine and places it alongside Desric's back that had several slots for the tubes to be placed in. The droids soon insert the slots to the robotic spine before the droids soon drill the machine toward Desric's back.
As soon as the droids drill the machine to his spine, Desric's body soon gives a small jerk, makin the droids move slightly away from his body, hoping that he wasn't awake. Thankfully the drugs given to him are still in effect and Desric feels only a small amount of pain while the droids continue to drill the machine to his body.
With the machine drilled to his spine, the droids flip his body over as they continue their work on Desric. They soon focus in on his exposed chest and soon place a large device with several wires on both ends. They place it inside him as they connect the wires inside his body with the wire at the bottom end of the machine. Once the wires were connected. The engineer droids soon drill the top part of the machine to his body to seal the hole on his chest.
With the hard part done, the droids begin to weaponize Desric's new body as they soon pull out pieces of new cybernetic armor that would attach to Desric.
They first focus on Desrics chest and see the wires that are sticking out of his chest from the device that ceiled the hole the medical droids cut. One of the droids pulls out a piece of black armor that was torn as if some beast had shredded it with its claws. They attach the wires from Desric's chest to the inside of the chest place before other droids grab the back piece and strap them both to Desric's body.
On the front of the chest plate was a molding of a demon like creature that had an elongated jaw that ran down the center of the chest place. Its teeth were like swords while its claws were like spears as they stretched down the bottom of the chest plate. And its wings were like a hurricane as they were spread toward the top half of the armor. After the armor was strapped on, the eyes of the beast glowed red, showing everyone that the armor was now active with the robotic spine on Desric's back.
After they strapped on the chest pieces, the droids shortly strap on other pieces of the armor to Desric. The droids soon grab more black pieces of armor such as shoulder plates that had moldings of the demon's head on both sides. They also strap several pieces of black armor to Desric's legs while they also give him black boots. After they gave him his boots, they soon gave Desric gauntlets that had sharp metal nails on each finger, while each knuckle had a small spike.
With his body fully armored, there was one more final piece left. The droids soon grab two pieces that are from the side of a helmet and connect them on the side of Desric's head. It isn't too long until a droid grabs a round Ubese bounty hunter helmet with a Mandalorian-style T-bar visor. The droid places it ontop of Desric's head before the final piece connects to the rest of the helmet and slides down Desric's face.
At the side of the surgery table, a droid moves over to a set of controls and types in a few buttons before the operating table slowly moves forward to face the mirror glass. Dooku and the hologram of Sidious soon enter the lab before the droid types in a few more buttons to activate the computer inside Desric's brain.
As Dooku and Sidious watch the droids finish up Desric, they see a couple of med droids place a few jars of green liquid on Desric's back before the droid on the controls activates the machine inside Desric's head.
As Desric is beginning to wake up, he sees a loading bar before several operating systems begin to flash in his eyes. At first he is a bit scared of what the droids have done to him, but he soon clams down as he looks forward and sees several circles form on top of Dooku and Sidious. As he looks at Dook, he sees a small image of Dooku's body form at the corner of his eye where he also saw his heart rate on the right corner of his eye.
"Desric?" Count Dooku asked, wondering if his new ally was alive. "Can you hear me?"
"Yes Count." Desric said while he heard his voice change into a horrific robotic voice.
"How do you feel?" Dooku asked.
Desric turns his head toward Dooku. "Like a monster." He said with a grin on his face that was hidden behind the mask.
"The serum that we are injecting you with will increase your strength, your speed, and your endurance." Dooku said before he continued on. "With every injection your cells will regenerate, allowing you to heal rapidly in the heat of battle, while also reconstructing your face and body from the heat of the flames you endured when you were left for dead by the Republic."
As soon as Dooku mentioned about being cast out and defeated by Aaron, he clentches his fist and lets out a low growl.
"You will become a more skilled assassin then Ventress." Dooku said. "You will become a more powerful warrior than Savage."
The hologram of Sidious stp in an speaks to Desric. "And now, you will be let loose against the Republic with our blessing."
Count Dooku then has the droid release Desric from the Operating table, allowing him to stand in front of the sith lords before he kneeled in front of them. "Who do you serve?" Dooku asked.
"I live to serve you Lord Sidious." Desric responded.
"Rise." Sidious said before a droid walked beside Desric with a wooden box in its hands.
"You will strike great fear into the hearts of the Jedi. You will bring the Republic to its knees." Dooku said in front of Desric. "In your presence you will bring forth ruin and suffering, for you have become…Death." Suddenly the wall behind Desric begins to slide open, Desric looks behind him and sees four figures wearing dark cloaks covering their faces, he sees that these four people are wearing high tech assassin armor beneath the cloaks. Desric is pleased to see that he now has four personal assassins to help him in his quest to wipe out the Jedi from every part of the galaxy. He then turns his head towards the sith lords to face his new masters.
As Desric stands before Dooku and Sidious, he looks beside him and sees the droid present him a gift from the two Sith Lords. The box opens and reveals a sword that was forged by the Separatist army specifically for Desric. The handle was slightly curved, like Dooku's lightsaber, but had a tip that was similar to Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber.
Desric holds the blade and feels a strong urge of vengance course within him. He places the sword beside his belt before he sees the droid beside him and instantly grabs its head with his right hand before he slams his left hand onto his chest, activating the injections in his body.
The eyes of the beast on his chest, soon begin to glow red while a puff of smoke is released from its nostrils. In the blink of an eye, Desric aches in pain as he feels the chemicals quickly enter his body before the veins in his arms begin to bulge out before his muscles quickly grow larger.
Using all his strength Desric squeezes the droid's head before he feels the machine crush beneath his hand. He soon tosses it in front of the two Sith Lords. "What's thy biding…my Lord?" He asked before he sees an evil smile grow on Count Dooku and Darth Sidious.
Florrum
Elsewhere in the galaxy, on the dustbowl planet of Florrum, a great firefight is taking place at a base of a Weequay pirate camp where captain Hondo Ohnaka and his men are firing upon to Dathormirian Sith Brothers, the former Darth Maul and his apprentice Savage Oppress, who are now fleeing for their lives.
Earlier that day, Obi-wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Adi Gallia, encountered the tow Sith brothers and engaged them in mortal combat where Master Gallia was slain by Savage before the deadly alliance of the two Sith brothers soon faced Obi-wan.
In an epic struggle for vengance and justice, Master Kenobi managed to fend off the two warriors alone, and was able to cut off Savage's left arm completely off before the two decided to flee.
After they escaped Obi-wan, both Maul and Savage encountered Hondo and his band of pirates before they gather enough courage to fire at the intruders to of their home.
Running for their lives, both Maul and Savage run for their ship to leave this world to fight another day while they each deflect several bullets with their red lightsabers. But as the pirates continue to fire at them, several shots manage to hit Maul's robotic legs before he screams in pain and collapses onto the ground.
Savage quickly grabs his brother and picks him up off the ground before he carries him to the ship while Maul still uses his lightsaber to deflect most of the bullets firing at them. As they continue to run for their lives, Maul looks up and sees the Jedi's ship on he edge of the cliff beside them. He places his hand up in front of him and uses the force to pull the ship down the side the cliff before falls right behind them and manages to create a wall of debris to shield them from the pirates as they escape.
While the pirates climb over the fallen ship, the two Sith brothers finally reached their Zygerrian slave ship, that they stole, before they begin to fire up the engines. As soon as the ship begins to lift off the ground with a roaring thunder of noise, Obi-wan, Hondo, and the rest of the pirates soon reach the ship and begin to open fire.
Hondo signals one of his men to move forward and sees the young pirate carry a rocket launcher and aims for the fleeing ship. In the blink of an eye a rocket is fired and manages to hit one of the ships engines as it is fleeing from the fight.
Zygerrrian Ship
"Our engines have been compromised!" Maul said to his injured brother while he looked at the ships controls and saw that there was little time left for them to escape. "Make way for the escape pod."
"It's too late." Savage said in an exhausted tone.
"Trust me apprentice!" Maul said to Savage before the two of them made their ay to the ships escape pod.
As they slowly made their way to their escape pod, Maul goes to the pod's main controls while Maul sits beside him. As maul directs the pod away from the burning ship, he looks he looks at Florrum and regrets not being able to kill his nemisis. "There will be another day." He said before he flew the ship into the vast cold and darkest parts of space.
Oh right guys that'll be it for this prologue! Well what did you guys think?! I hope you all enjoyed it and I want to let you know that this was only the tip of the iceberg!
Once we get into the fall, things are going to get much more serious. With Desric, now know as Death, back for vengeance we are in for one hell of a ride this coming fall. The darkness is coming. It'll spread to every corner of the galaxy.
And I hope you enjoyed seeing Maul and Savage in this prologue. I can't say anything about them right now but what I can tell you is that their story will play a key role in the future. To give you guys a better view, think of their story like Sushana's story and role in Inglorious Bastards. That's all I'm gonna say!
Alright guys that'll be it for now, I hope to see everyone back again this fall to see this incredible story unfold that will probably be one of the most darkest things I've written so far. See you guys then!
