Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Star Wars. Enjoy the 800-Word chapter. I don't own Star Wars. Disney and Lucas Arts do.

(Coruscant)

Karald Granmat was one of the many soldiers in the empire, he was a Shadow Guard. He looked no different than rest of the guards in his profession.

"Hmm…" Karald said while he looked around at the rest of his squadron of Stormtroopers, 6 in total which followed him, all waiting for orders and all loyal to the Empire.

"I am so tired… I really hope we can go on break sooner or later." Karald heard from one of the Stormtroopers and he brushed off his armor and tapped his lightsaber pike on the ground.

"We've been patrolling for the better part of 10 minutes; you can stop complaining TM-2586." Karald heard from another Stormtrooper before he held up his hand, a sign for the rest of the unit to stop.

"You may rest, we aren't on duty, soldiers… Besides, there hasn't been a danger on Coruscant since the Separatists." Karald ordered, he turned to the unit and looked at the quartet of Stormtroopers and crossed his arms.

They looked at him and then nodded, he leaned on his pike, knowing the weapon could easily cut through a soldier or steel easily if the lightsaber blade was ignited.

"Thank you, commander." Karald heard from the Stormtrooper and nodded.

"I have to go to handle other duties anyway, making soldiers that serve the empire miserable? I doubt we'd get any work done anytime soon." Karald said, he turned and walked away before he saw the Stormtroopers go to find something to do now that their commander was looking for more work at the moment.

He didn't envy Stormtroopers, they lived to die in battle half the time and they were seen as incompetent by the rest of the empire the other half.

Shadow Guards, though… They were rarely seen; they were guards from the Royal Guard corps trained to kill Jedi and other massive threats to the Emperor.

Karald deep down knew the man didn't need or care about anyone, he was a self-centered old man with no respect for anyone who wasn't a direct servant to him.

"I serve Lord Vader, who does far more for the Empire then the Emperor." Karald stated, being careful to keep the words to a whisper.

Nobody was going to betray the empire anytime soon, but Sidious would kill the second they came off as a threat to the empire. He knew that also meant Imperial soldiers and he was just another soldier in the empire, one that he couldn't do much besides use the force, serve as another Lightsaber using soldier. He was replaceable, his brother who served as an Inquisitor was only slightly more so.

"I'll still serve, we have nothing left but the empire, it will always be nothing but the empire." Karald said before he walked away, patting his Lightsaber pike into his hand while he spun the pike around and rested it on his shoulder and rested his other hand on his blaster pistol.

He continued to walk and walk, doing nothing but seeing the regular streets of the empire's home.

"Nothing changes around here, I guarantee the emperor only keeps us around so we look strong and he looks weak so the Empire doesn't know we have a Sith Lord for the head of the empire, he's a genius and yet a crazy old man half the time." Karald said, unaware that the rest of his destiny would soon bring him against the empire he served.

"I suppose I should report to Lord Vader and tell him what happened here… Even if he doesn't care at the rest of the empire at the moment… Least besides the Emperor." He brushed off his armor and turned and sighed again before he walked towards the rest of the Imperial Buildings on the higher levels of the planet.

He didn't know what would happen in a few days, no idea who he would meet and no idea that he would soon be fighting a slowly growing covert war with the empire.

He sighed and walked away from the streets to find the man he usually always reported to.

It would be a few days till everything changed, till all of the world knew who Karald was and what he could do.

But it would be the empire who made their worst enemy.

Author notes.

Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know it's a short chapter, next one will be bigger and better. Next chapter will be in 2 or 3 weeks and will show Karald talking to Vader and show his turn to the good side slowly. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
