Chapter 0 – Operation Knightfall and the Great Jedi Purge
24th May, 19BBY, 1:00am; Coruscant: Jedi Temple, Rear Entrance Area
Noah Skywalker smirked as he paced up the rear stairs of the temple with Legions upon Legions of his customised Black Clonetroopers and customised Black Droideka Mark II along the side moved up the stairs following Noah, Noah grinned cruelly as the door opened by a Jedi Knight who walked out and looked surprised at the soldiers, also…who led them.
"Noah, what is the meaning of this, no…you were never Noah, your still overcome as…" started the Jedi Knight however a crimson blade pierced through the Jedi as he went to grab his own which Noah took while using the force.
"Yes, I am Lord Darth Deus, I always have been!" announced Noah/Deus with a grin as he slashed the Jedi in two before making his way towards the doorway with his soldiers continuing after him as AT-TE units walked up the stairs between each lined squad.
Deus' smile was like someone going to meet an old friend as he walked through the corridor while slashing down Jedi as he did so, suddenly he recognised a soldier taking aim at a Jedi who leaned against the wall and Deus held his hand up for the Dark Clonetroopers to desist what they were about to do, Deus walked towards the Jedi and smiled which the other also did.
"How are you Vega, been teaching our son the Dark Side, you go by the name Darth Diabolus now if I am not mistaken" smirked Deus and the Dark Clonetroopers stood back from another of their secret allies as they stopped pointing their blasters rifles at the Sith Infiltrator.
"Why yes, my Lord and love, our son is safe in our personal palace" smiled Vega/Diabolus as he looked Deus in the eye before turning and throwing his Lightsaber at a Jedi that was running to confront them which the blade pierced all the way through the old Jedi.
"Good, come this way, we're to meet up with Lord Vader" nodded Deus and over time he made his way into the centre of the Temple's lowest level and found a sabre pointed at his chest by another Sith Lord.
"Noah" nodded Darth Vader as the face of Anakin Skywalker, which didn't include the golden eyes that had replaced his blue ones at the time, glared at Deus.
"Sorry, Darth Deus, always have been and always would be" smirked Deus as he stepped aside and Vader continued to point his blade at Diabolus who stood behind him "he's the only success from our Grandfather's attempt at creating life through the force, you have to understand that I grew up beside him and taught him the Sith ways, he is Darth Diabolus now"
"It is a pleasure to see meet you, as Darth Diabolus, however I have to ask Deus about my heritage" muttered Vader as he looked at his brother who smiled.
"We are the sons of Palpatine, the present Darth Sidious, our grandfather was Darth Plagueis the Wise (in this story he isn't a Muun) and with his death ended the line of the Rule of Two" explained Deus and Vader sighed before nodding; meanwhile, they had a Jedi Purge to continue, neither would stop until the Jedi at the temple were completely eradicated so that their limited force wouldn't interrupt Palpatine's rise to Emperor.
28th May, 10:00am; Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser: Praetor, Bridge
The Clonetroopers on the Praetor's Bridge command were weary of their dark Master's commands as he stood at the front of the bridge walkway and looked out at the stars, Deus felt a shift in the force and was trying to pinpoint it to its exact location and possible target in the universe to date, as far as Deus could tell…Mustafar was the target or rather…who was on Mustafar.
"I sense that Lord Vader is in danger, within the next few hours, this is troublesome" muttered Deus as he looked down on the Jedi occupied world of Elrood in the Elrood sector "Admiral Garcia!"
"Yes, my Lord" nodded the thirteen year old Admiral as he stepped forwards, he was recruited willingly at a young age due to his tactical and leadership skills, his political and strategic skills weren't bad either.
"Move my personal ship out of the blockade and set course for Mustafar, Lord Vader went to that sector, I believe he is in trouble!" announced Deus as he stepped away from the window "is that fine with our plan, commander!?"
"Darth Diabolus is on the way with his ship, I will have the flag of command transferred over to him immediately as I send a message to Diabolus to say we are falling out of the blockade, I know better than to question your senses anyway" smiled Admiral Gerald Garcia with a bow as he walked on.
"Lord Sidious…father!? Damn it, I'm sensing another force in the immediate location, it must be…Yoda!!" snarled Deus mentally as he turned back to look at the stars and began to speak to the walking away Admiral "also, Admiral, send a message to Coruscant…increase my guard at my personal palace!"
"Yes, my Lord" announced Gerald as he descended into the transmission deck to do as commanded while navigation set course for the Mustafar system, he was glad that Diabolus and Admiral Owain Laxford was coming to take over his mission in the sector, the populace better blame the Jedi for the death and despair that was soon to flood throughout the planet's surface.
"Admiral, how long until we reach Mustafar from this position, may I ask?" questioned Deus as the Admiral had finished his preparations and had come to stand not far from Deus while Deus sensed details of the enemy position "and how far from Sullust Orbit!?"
"It will take three hours at most" explained Gerald as he comes to stand beside the Sith Lord "from Sullust it will take ten minutes difference in our favour"
"Very well, I want all pilots in their fighters when we leave Hyperspace, I will personally go down to the planet myself once the threat is confirmed!" announced Deus as he turned to walk away "I will be in my quarters until we arrive!"
1:00pm; Mustafar System: J-type Star Skiff, Bridge
When Padmé Amidala dropped her ship out of Hyperspace she almost froze at the sight of the powerful Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser waiting in orbit with a small legion of Starfighters ready to be launched, she suddenly felt something grip out at her from the ship and even though she wasn't a force sensitive she could tell that something in the force was heavily probing her and the ship, meanwhile Obi Wan Kenobi looked worried as he tried to hide his force signature and failed to do so from the claws of Darth Deus.
"You are cleared for landing!" announced Admiral Gerald Garcia over a transmission which Padmé confirmed before descending down to the atmosphere.
2:00pm; Mustafar System: Mustafar, River Beachhead
As Obi-Wan went to slash the limbs of Darth Vader off he was instead countered by his Lightsaber being pulled out of his hand and going flying into the hand of Darth Deus which Kenobi had failed to detect, before Obi Wan could call back the Lightsaber he was stabbed through the back by Vader who had successfully flipped over Obi Wan with nothing to block his ex-apprentice's path, Deus walked down the beach head and smirked at the crumpled remains of one of the few Jedi Masters left before beheading him and sending the remains into the River of Magma.
"Excellent Work, Lord Vader, the Emperor will be most pleased" smirked Deus and he looked up as he sensed a force signature "Father is here, come, we must meet with him"
"What about Padmé!?" yelled Vader but paused when Deus glared at him in fury at the stupid question.
"Let it drop 'Anakin', we both know that Jedi are at work on this planet and have had Padmé fall into their hands, now come to father so we can decide whether or not she will survive the next few days!" announced Deus with a snarl as he trudged up the banking towards the landing area where the Emperor waited with a line of Soldiers at his beck and call.
"I see that Kenobi has fallen before the hands of the twins, this is an extra prelude of things to come, however Padmé Amidala has been taken by the Jedi and is to give birth to twins…twins powerful in the force like their father was!" announced Palpatine as he looked between his two sons "there is rebellion in our midst, I would have you two hunt them down!"
"Yes, Lord Sidious, I will begin regulating the Clone…no better name yet, I will begin regulating the equipment for our Stormtroopers while Vader leads them into battle" smirked Deus as he walked with his brother and father back into the shuttle.
"Excellent, let us return to Coruscant!" chuckled Sidious as he led his sons up the ramp "since the Rule of Two ended with my father, we can now bring forth a new age for the Sith!"
21st November, 2BBY, 6:00pm; Sovereign-Class Super Star Destroyer: Obedience, Deus' Office
Deus sighed as he signed more paper work for his private Imperial Fleets with a groan not far behind as he thought of all the successful missions in the last 17 years, the assassination of the new queen of Naboo, the near 2nd Droid and Clone Civil War, Vader's Apprentice: Galen Marek also known as Starkiller who turned into a Jedi via Vader's betrayal as well as kicking both Deus' brother and father's ass all over their arenas before escaping with the Senators loyal to rebellion and undermining their father's control on the galaxy.
"You're thinking too much, I'm starting to worry for you" muttered a voice and Darth Diabolus walked out of an alcove "Lord Vader will deal with the rebellion, all you need to worry about is the completion of the Eclipse, Eclipse II, Obedience, Regicide, Sovereign and the beginning of the Imperium Project!"
"Once the Obedience is completed, I will be heading to the frontline myself, the more interaction I have with frontline command the less chances of open rebellion occurring!" countered Darth Deus with a sigh as he stood and walked over to the window to observe the finishing construction on the ship "I just hope I can make a difference in time"
"Also, it seems that Sidious is moving ahead with the Death Star construction and the fact that Vader is dealing with his son, Vader found him and began training him on Naboo but then Yoda and a few unlucky Jedi intervened, the boy was kidnapped after we only just found him and probably a Jedi Memory block was placed on him" sighed Deus stressed "that was Sixteen Years ago, since then Vader has been hunting down Jedi like a madman, typical of the Rebellion to get in the way of his anger also!"
"All we need is patience, then the rebels will fall for resisting the Empire, it is just that simple" shrugged Diabolus as he looked at Deus' screen "been getting messages from your little brothers and sister?"
Vader, as I've said is busy, Raven and Revel meanwhile…" started Deus and Diabolus smiled.
"Their only just twenty-two years old, it is a shame that their mother died, your half siblings are all alone now however they have been invited into the Royalty of the Sith and neither have a interest for the throne" smirked Diabolus "Revel was being trained in the ways of the Sith by Darth Merion while Raven is training her new apprentice"
"Excellent, however, we must now concentrate on the insurgence!" announced Deus as he sat down to get back to work and Diabolus smiled, Deus would soon work himself to death at the rate he was going.
Info – And that is the introduction of the first two of my new characters as well as the increased technological advancement compared to the original series, the rebels will also have larger fleets via a different method of combat, you will also notice that it wasn't Obi Wan who had to take care of Padmé since he had been killed…what and how many other Jedi have survived? Review!!
