i am sorry for any bad grammar it gets better as the chapters progress

Chapter 1: a sith hidden

Stomping down the corridor with a mixture of terror and hate darth nox feeling his organic components begin to shut down as well as his cybernetics beginning to glitch "ah for the love of the force i've really dropped myself in it" nox growled to himself, he knew he must get to it that is why he came to belsavis he needed to get to the mother machine.

Feeling a scream in his mind of ashara as she was struck down by the very jedi that swore to bring her back to the light "damn it ashara not you too i will destroy the jedi for this as well as for xalek and andronikos" darth nox growled then said into his communicator "KEM KEM! You useless beast answer me!" with a gruff dasheed voice replying "master the jedi are coming what shall i do?" nox did not hesitate and screamed with all his hate "FEAST! FEAST MONSTER I COMMAND YOU TO FEAST!" and reached out to kem with the dark side filling kem val with strength determination and hate with kem howling in return that even nox deep down in the ancient labs of the rakata without his communicator "AS YOU WISH MASTER IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SERVES!" then the communicator went dead as nox began to feel weak again muttering "note to self don't push lots of force energy into a dasheed" chuckling at the possibility that the fact he had something the jedi did not a sentient machine.

Limping into the main chamber room nox cried out "ASHAA! ASHAA! I NEED HELP!" a calm voice almost mother like reply with "ah scientia hikari my child what is wrong?" a hologram of an rakatan female, nox cringing in agony surprised that he actually cringed at the pain and pondered on how it would feel to a normal person shaking that thought from his mind he sharply replied with "ashaa please i need help those kriffin jedi injured me pretty bad AND THE NAME IS DARTH NOX!" ashaa was silent then sternly replied "first off young man do not use such profanity to me the mother machine" then calmly continued with "but i can save you but you won't like it" nox grips over his real heart feeling it wretch in pain "don't care help me please i am begging you" slowly slumping to the ground then ashaa said "crawl into the chamber but leave your sabers with me" a mechanical pincer taking the sabers away from nox then gritting his teeth and knowing his abilities with the force where just as good as his saber skills nox pulled himself into the chamber in the middle of the room using the force to support his weight and the door sealing him into the chamber.

With a chuckle nox said "HEY ASHAA WILL THIS HURT?!" ashaa replying with a calm "i will not lie scen my child this will be agonising i will heal you then hide you then release you when it's safe" nox suddenly looking scared and angry "YOU WILL WHAT!? No no no no i can't" ashaa stating "don't worry my child i'll try and make it quick your biology is slightly different from other humans but i can make sure they can't find you, you can take your sabers back and everything will be fine" for the first time in years the massive 8ft tall sith shed a tear and heard a deep mechanical voice say "clothes detected DISINTEGRATE!"a red light bathed the chamber the clothes on his back being burned away by an invisible un hurting flame then the voice boomed again "cybernetics detected DISINTEGRATE!" ashaa saying "sorry this is going to hurt" nox going wide eyed and screaming in agony and felt his blood flood parts of his body that it really shouldn't as his cybernetic implants were burned away then nox passed out hoping ashaa knew what she was doing.

4000 years later on a venator class star destroyer

Rex walked onto the flight deck looking at anakin, ahsoka, obi-wan and Shaak Ti, anakin noticed his captain approach and calmly said "good morning rex" with rex rubbing the back of his helmet and said with a hint of embarrassment "uh yea morning sir" cody jogged into the flight deck after rex panting out "rex why didn't you wake me up?" rex chuckling and replying with "well you criticise me about be tired all the time i figured you could use the sleep" rex and cody both laugh only being stopped by obi-wan giving his usual pay attention cough, "well if we are done having some fun we have a mission at hand Shaak Ti if you could fill us in" obi-wan stated, "with pleasure obi-wan we are on our way to belsavis because we had a tip off about some ancient machine seemingly unleashing its droids to gather supplies but they seem to be paying with old republic credits" anakin sarcastically saying "so we are investigating a simple case of a old droid counterfeiting credits?" obi-wan giving a unamused look and saying "i know we all sense the dark side energy emanating from one focal point" ashoka looking optimistic as usual saying "well lets just go down there find the the source of the dark side presence and put an end to it"

40 minutes later a battalion of clones being led by rex, cody, Shaak Ti, ahsoka, anakin and obi-wan leaving troopers to guard the exits they began make there way down to the entrance of the lab making their way past maintenance droids shutting down and destroying the occasional security droids, "not many security droids weird" rex said "perhaps this is some sort of medical facility" cody added, "maybe you are not wrong cody i read up on some information on this place the last standing area of darth nox" obi-wan added picking up a pair of lightsabers and examining them stating "whoever's sabers these were they were a jedi but i don't think they were on the republic's side" obi-wan concluded, "a jedi that didn't work with the republic? Never heard of such a thing" ashoka said in shock Shaak Ti pointing to a big door and saying "here the dark presence is through here" as they walked through the door into the grand chamber filled with tubes covered in dust anakin went to a control panel and said "can't read this why didn't we bring C3PO?" ashoka rushed to the panel and said "it's ancient rakatan i think a astromech can interface with it" "well look who's a smart one snips maybe i should pay a visit to the library" anakin remarked "you never did study anakin" obi-wan added.

Ashaa felt the presence of the jedi in the main chamber area and hummed back to life catching the party off guard "i am ashaa the mother machine i created many species in the modern galaxy and protector of the hurt" obi-wan stroked his beard and calmly stated "we detected a dark presence here and are here to investigate" ashaa projected a hologram of her rekata form and calmly stated "that would be the hurt one the jedi and the republic hurt him the sith hurt him and he came to me i helped him before when he was sick plagued by pure power from the force walk" ahsoka looked at the hologram "hurt by the jedi? And the sith? Wow i feel sorry for the poor guy" she remarked

Nox stirred in his chamber he didn't feel his cybernetics start up like they usually do when he awakens he felt no pain did it work? Was he dead? Why did his body feel so strange? So small? So weak?
