Star Wars Darth Bane: The Sith Who Was Left Behind (v1)
Prologue: And then There Were Two
It had been many hours since the young sith lord's master Lord Kaan had thrown Var Shan into a protective force sphere and left him there, and he began replaying everything that happened back to himself.
"Master I do not understand why are you doing this to me? You will need me to help create the thought bomb, if we are to defeat the jedi and win this war. Var proclaimed to his sith master as he put one of his hands along his cages invisible protective walls.
Lord Kann had a grimly serious look on his face that after many years of learning at his master's feet. Var knew was a sign he was about to give him the answers he was seeking.
"You are right child I do need you for the bomb, but I also know how important you are to the sith. Next to the traitor Darth Bane you are without a doubt the strongest sith in the Brotherhood I can feel it. I do not trust Lord Bane's intentions for me using the thought bomb, and if my fears are correct I cannot have you perish with the rest of the order child. You alone shall be the one to rebuild the sith if the Brotherhood falls, and it shall be up to you to strike down the traitor Bane." Lord Kaan said as he pulled his cloak up over his head and turned to leave his student in his protective bubble, not knowing that it would be the last time he would ever see his young student ever again.
"Master! Please wait I don't understand how am I to do this I cannot defeat Lord bane I don't understand!" Var shouted as he tried desperately to be given answers to how he was supposed to achieve his so-called new destiny.
Var felt it when the thought bomb went off he felt it from inside his bubble. Felt the painful soul scraping blast, but more horrifically he felt the screams of pain and agony of every sith and Jedi who were swallowed up by the bomb. He also felt the utter emptiness that followed the voices as they died out, and he felt that same emptiness try to consume him as well.
"No I won't let you I won't let you TAKE ME!" Var roared as he fought off the emptiness just barely saving himself but also causing himself to fall to the ground in exhaustion.
As Var remained collapsed on the caves cold hard floor, completely weak and drained in the force to a point that he couldn't move anymore. Var became consumed by grief brought on my the death of his master Lord Kaan who had been like a father to him, and the few friends he had made in the Brotherhood. All of them gone in a blink of an eye Var was now completely alone in the universe. He couldn't go to the Jedi not after everything he's done they would throw him in jail for life. Without the Brotherhood he had no purpose no way of life or surviving nothing to life for but to be consumed by his own total loneliness. But then Var remembered his masters last words that he was the future of the Sith and that he had to lead the order to greatness now. And more importantly it was up to him now to slay the traitor Darth Bane and make him suffer for his betrayal. This new revelation and the thought of Darth Bane the very person who had single handedly destroyed Var's life filled him with some much anger, hate, and rage that he could barely contain it. It fueled Var made him strong again and he gorged himself in the sweet taste of the dark side until he was full and began to limp out of the cave.
"Yes I can see it now my new purpose in life my new drive Darth Bane hear me I shall be the one to usher in a new a age for the sith not YOU! It will take years but I will follow my master's wisdom I will wait biding my time becoming stronger in the dark side and all that comes with it. Letting you lure yourself and whom ever you take as a student into a false sense of security believing yourselves to be the last of thee sith. Never seeing my wrath until it is to late. I will slowly spread my influence across the galaxy creating a nexus of pain and hate in the universe to which I can gorge myself on the dark side while I prepare. I will destroy everything you build with my bare hands DARTH BANE!" Var loudly proclaimed to himself after exiting the cave, remerging back on Ruusan's surface, igniting his lightsaber, and holding it high up in the air.
As Darth Bane made his way to his ship he thought for a second…just a second that he felt he presence of another being strong in the dark side and almost as powerful as himself on Ruusan's surface.
"No it couldn't be all the lords were inside the cave with the thought bomb when it went off, at best that was probably the lingering last moments of a once strong force user as it was sucked into the bomb and nothing more." Bane thought to himself as he allowed himself to completely forget what he just sensed and continued walking until he found a young girl surrounded by two dead jedi and a dead bouncer…
