The shadowy figure stood there, silently still, even though it never occurred to him, the Shadow Master, really was the most powerful being in the Galaxy. That is until his plan of overthrowing the Jedi was defeated by a person called the Avatar, five years ago.
The Avatar, was everything and anything to him. And he wanted revenge, so much so that he was going to do anything to get it. By any means necessary.
He took out his crossguard Lightsaber and the three red ends sparked and sputtered to life. He raised it at the poor innocent soul he had before him and laughed "I know who you are" said the male cowering at his feet "master of shadows, leader of the Knights of Darkness, I know what you want, but you will never get it."
The Shadow Master ignored the male alien's words and chuckled "you know nothing of my power and of my legion. The rumors are true, the Avatar did beat me." he paused and continued on "but that was only a stroke of luck"
"I know differently, I know you are scared of him" the alien smiled and the Shadow Master continued to ignore his pointless words "at least that is what the rumors say, especially after the Avatar went into the Avatar State" the Shadow Master had just about enough of this fools babbling so he raised his Lightsaber and the fool showed his true cowardice.
"Look who's the coward now"
"I am no more a coward than you" said the alien and then he gave up in trying to defend himself "what you want, it's on Tatooine, you will find it there"
"Tatooine?" the Shadow Master said curiously "whatever is on that desolate planet?"
"What the legends speak of, I am old enough to remember when they were first brought to this galaxy"
"Hmm" the Shadow Master pondered "maybe you are still useful to me, or maybe, should I just kill you?"
"No" the alien squealed "no, don't kill me, I have a family, surely you must understand that!"
"My family died long ago, and that is a memory well worth forgotten"
"Who" the alien stuttered "who are you?"
"A face from the past, present and future"
"Whatever does that mean?"
"It means you will not live long enough to find out" and with that, the Shadow Master raised his Lightsaber and the alien cowered before him showing him his true colors "tell me what is on Tatooine, if you wish your life to be spared"
"The key to what you've been searching for" said the alien and that was that "how to defeat the Avatar, the key to the Prophecy of the Dark Brother"
"Dark Brother?"
"Oh yes"
"Sky," The Shadow Master said "what has he got to do with this?"
"Everything and anything"
"Thank you for telling me this" said the Shadow Master smiling underneath his hooded face "I really am. I just wanted you to know. Before"
"Before what?"
"Before I kill you"
"But you said" the alien stammered backing away from the Shadow Master "you'd spare me" at this all the Shadow Master could do was simply laugh
"You know you're not so bright" at this the Shadow Master raised his Lightsaber and walked forward to the alien "I am the bad guy and you know what you should never ever do"
"What?"
"Trust the bad guy" the Shadow Master said simply and with that, he said nothing else, instead he went into for the killing blow and stabbing the alien through the heart. The alien died screaming and the Shadow Master stood over his corpse "thank you for the information" he said and then he laughed, evilly and prepared for the events that would soon come in his wake...
