Star Wars: A New Power

Prologue

Kashyyk: Imperial Dread

Darth Vader stood away from Kento, the Father of Starkiller.

"Another Jedi falls, I see" Vader said, raising his lightsaber. Just then, a man sprung out of the shadows and with great haste, cut Darth Vader's hand clean off. Vader looked in great anger at the man who had defeated him with such ease, and was then filled with fear.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked.

"N...no" Vader replied.

"Then go" The Jedi man said.

Vader stood and walked away, holding his lightsaber in his last functioning hand.

"Kento, Galen. I am Malak, Jedi master. Please come with me and hurry!" Malak said.

Five Months ago

Obi-Wan walked over to Anakin.

"What is the matter?" Obi-Wan asked

"Many things, master. This war is unwinable. And the politicians behind it are corrupt" Anakin said.

Just then, with a flash of light, a man appeared behind them. Anakin and Obi-Wan turned with their Lightsabers drawn.

"Name yourself" Obi-Wan said.

"My 'Name' is Galen Marek. But you can call me Malak" The man said.

"I was the apprentice of Darth Vader. A sith lord from the future. I turned against him and his empire. I fought Darth Sidious and I lost. I died. Merged with The Force. Someone there told em that I could control people's bodies. So I waited for Vader to clone me. His first clone, a combination of Darth Maul and Galen Marek, this body you see before you, was the one I took control of. And now I am the most powerful living entity" Malak explained.

"Come with me" Obi-Wan said. They went to the council. Malak was given a title of Jedi High Master and assigned quarters when he started telling the Masters what they where going to say before they said it.

A young Padawan came to him during his training one day, asking him if he truly was the one who would protect them.

"I am" Malak said sternly, dismissing the boy.

The next day Malak went to the Jedi Temple Plaza Balcony to make an announcement.

"Jedi and citezens. I am here to make an announcement. Darth Sidious has eluded us for many, many years. Training and sending Sith Lords to fight and destroy us. As long as he runs free, none of us are safe. The Clones of Jango Fett are easily controllable. It is very possible he has control over them now, but we cannot be certain of that. I am here to defend you and help you" Malak said, walking away from the crowd.

"What are you saying, Master?" Plo Koon asked.

"I'm saying that these troops are unreliable and easily controlled. Be careful with them" Malak said.
