1 REBIRTH OF THE SITH
(DISCLAIMER: All characters, apart from Darth Inferno, are creations of George Lucas, and belong to him. I know next to nothing of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and my knowledge of Star Wars is taken solely from the movies. So I don't want anybody bombarding me with insults because of an inaccuracy. We'll call this the Alternate Universe rather than the Expanded Universe. Also, we'll just take for granted that Count Dooku dies in Episode III.)
CHAPTER 1: RESURRECTIONS
Darth Inferno wanted revenge. He had never met Emperor Palpatine, but already mourned his loss. He wanted to get revenge on the Jedi known as Luke Skywalker. Darth Inferno was stationed in his great mansion. He had inherited it from his wealthy father. It was this wealth and influence that had given him access to technology that was thought to be lost. Underground, beneath his mansion, he had set up a miniature clone factory. He was able to grow clones at a hyper-speed as well, allowing them to gain years in seconds. He wasn't going to create an army. No, he was only going to clone two people. Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus.
Darth Maul was a very skilled Sith warrior. He was an expert with a double- edged lightsaber and, while he wasn't as famous as some Sith, he was a personal idol of Darth Inferno. Darth Tyranus, known better as Count Dooku, was more famous. He had been a Jedi, but had made the wise decision of joining the Dark Side. His powers had developed to such an extent that he could fire bolts of energy like the great Palpatine. Darth Inferno had chosen these two rather than Darth Vader, perhaps the most famous Sith lord of all, because Darth Vader was a traitor. It was he who had killed The Emperor. Darth Inferno despised him. He would have cloned The Emperor if not for one essential detail. The Emperor had not been mind mapping. This was a process that Darth Maul and Count Dooku had both performed under an experimental basis. Every few days, they uploaded all their thoughts and memories onto a computer system. This would mean that if they ever died, they could be cloned, and their personality could be returned. Darth Vader had undergone the process, but perhaps through distrust of the system, The Emperor never took part in this.
Darth Inferno had the memory files of Darth Maul and Count Dooku. He gave them to the scientists employed by him, and he watched with glee as the cloning process began. DNA samples from the two Sith lords were used, and generated into embryos. From there, these embryos were placed in hyper growth pods, which were only shut off once the subjects had reached the age they were upon their deaths. Their respective memories were then processed into their brains. They would now have the same personality and the same skills that they had in their previous lives. They were essentially the exact same people as their previous incarnations: this was practically less a cloning than a resurrection.
Darth Maul's tattoos were added to him while he was still in his sleeping state. Now all Darth Inferno had to do was to wait for them to awake.
They awoke a few days later. They were then clothed in their traditional Sith attire, and given their trademark weapons. Darth Inferno updated them on the situation.
"Great, prestigious Sith lords. I am Darth Inferno. You may be wondering where you are, and when you are. You are in my mansion, which happens to be on the same planet as the mansion of a certain Princess Leia. Her brother, Luke Skywalker, and their friends brought about the collapse of the Empire. The Empire symbolised the peak of the power of the Dark Side. The Jedi were all but wiped out, and we had taken over. But we have now lost everything, including Emperor Palpatine, your esteemed master. I have no elaborate plan to regain total control of what power we lost. No, my plan is a much simpler one. Revenge."
