Chapter 1

"We have to get out of here, Feen!" Spaedus told his Twi'lek friend as countless gangsters fell to the sabers of a small Jedi party, and the blasts of Republic troopers backing them up. Feen nodded nervously, as the two ran away to escape the Jedi. Spaedus and Feen were "Field Mice" for the local gang, the Marauders of Fear. Field Mice were children between the ages of 8 to 12 who would deliver weapons to allied gangs. Unfortunately, this particular weapons shipment was being delivered to a local gang allied with the Sith Empire. Several Jedi and Republic Troopers had been sent to intercept the transaction, and young Spaedus and Feen had been caught in the crossfire.

"See an escape route, Spaed?" Feen asked. Spaedus, being a human with custom cybernetic augmentations, used his bionic right eye to scan the area for an escape route. Finally, he found one. "Over there!" he said. "We'll have to run past those Jedi! Shouldn't be a problem, they're not after us. Alright Feen, let's go on the count of 3. 1...2...3!"

On the count of 3, they both rushed to the exit at full speed. Spaedus could already feel a sense of relief as he was inches away from escape. His relief quickly vanished as he heard a heart breaking noise; a young girl, shrieking in pain. Spaedus turned around to see Feen, slashed across the chest by a Jedi's lightsaber blade. Spaedus gasped in horror, shaking his head. "FEEN!" he shouted, rushing to her aid just before she fell, catching her before Feen fell. Spaedus stroked her lekku, feeling a deep and sharp pain in his heart. "Spaedus..." she wheezed. "Get out of here..."

Spaedus shook his head, tears in his eyes. "I'm...I'm not leaving here without you!" he insisted. "If I could patch myself with cybernetics, I can do the same for you!" Spaedus knew that wasn't true in his heart...His only cybernetic implants were a right cyborg eye that increased his awareness and reflexes and cybernetic implants in his brain that increased his strategic intelligence. This...This was beyond even his repair. "Speadus..." Feen cried. "Don't leave...Don't leave..."

With that, Feen passed. Spaedus felt like he had been kicked in the stomach, and all the life, all the emotion inside him was rushing out. Passion...Fear...Fury...Rage...And vengeance. He turned to face the Jedi behind him, his eyes filling with deep and passionate hate. "I hate you..." he whispered. The earth around him began to shake. He could hear the choking, strangled noises of tortured Jedi around him as they were lifted above the air by their necks, the lifeforce slowly beginning to fade. The Republic Troopers aimed their weapons at the child, but were instantly crushed inside their own armor and thrown to the wall. Spaedus began to tremble, his hatred and fury building up to a terrible boiling point. "NOOOOOO!" he roared, as the floating Jedi were thrown against the wall and killed instantly.

About an hour after Spaedus had killed the Jedi and Republic soldiers, one Sith entered the room where the transaction was supposed to take place. The Sith wore a cybernetic prosthesis over his jaw and tight, black light armor over his body, almost like a ninja. Tied into his clothing were the bones of the Jedi he had killed, a macabre display of his sadistic personality. His name...Was Darth Emdiri. Darth Emdiri stared at the scene before him with awe and excitement...This child was strong in the Force, and has deep hatred and fury in his heart. How else would he have been able to kill an entire Republic attack squad? He laughed as he approached the crying child. "Such is the hypocrisy of the Republic." he shook his head solemnly. "Arrogant, self righteous cowards serving a broken and weak government. I am Darth Emdiri, I am here to collect a weapons shipment. But I believe you will be...FAR more useful. I'm sending you to Sith Academy in Korriban, where you will train until your graduation. And when you do graduate...You will become my apprentice. Do you understand?"

Spaedus nodded, wiping away his tears. "Yes...My master."

A/N: So, this is my first collaboration and it's with TheMovieDoctorful. Yay! He wrote this first one, and if you're reading this, you can do Ch. 2, and I'll do the next two chapters.
Spaedus: Sometimes, I can't believe I signed up for this.
Me: Well, we're both writing this story, so we both own you. So, you're gonna have to put up with us.
Spaedus: Oh, and I guess you've told Anakin that too.
Anakin: Told me what?
Spaedus: Well, I've been looking at her other stories, and she wrote a vampire story, and a werewolf story about you.
Anakin: JORDAN!
Me: Uh, oh. (runs away screaming)
Anakin: GET BACK HERE! (runs after me)
Spaedus: (laughs evilly while videotaping Anakin chasing me) This is Spaedus signing off for Jojo1228.
