Masters of Darkness II: The Force Reborn

by TheCrY

The second entry in the Masters of Darkness series. Jerec now reigns supreme over the galaxy, yet various uprisings threaten his reign. Kyle Katarn and his apprentice Jaden Korr face the notorious Reborn Clan, while rebellions come to life on Coruscant, Sullust, and even among Jerec's own ranks.

1. Preface

It has been a couple of months since the fall of the New Republic. The galaxy, though ruled by Emperor Jerec's firm hand, has been surprisingly peaceful. Rebellion uprisings are few, but extinguished painfully nonetheless.

With Kyle Katarn as his right hand, Jerec is only concerned by the increasing activity of the Reborn clan. He has instructed Kyle Katarn and his new apprentice Jaden Korr to track and kill Desann.

Meanwhile, we find ourselves on Coruscant, where Yun is put in charge of order…

(a few words by the author)

Thank you very much for wanting to read this fanfiction story. Episode II of the Masters of Darkness series is about five years old at the date of publication, and its the first in the series I look back upon with a smile. Granted, I feel that my writing has improved a lot since, and I have tried to update the wording in this from time to time. I still think too many things happen too quickly, but at least the plot is getting more complex, compared to Episode I. Looking back, I am proud of the story in this one, even though it could have been written down more elaborately with better pacing.

This episode contains a lot of characters from Dark Forces II's follow-ups, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, but of course the characters are completely different, because the timeline has shifted. The Force Reborn details the rise of the new rebellion, as well as the personal journey of Jaden Korr, apprentice to Kyle Katarn here, and his dealings with a brand new faction… the Reborn.

This fanfiction follows up on:

- The George Lucas Star Wars films, episode I through VI (and the Clone Wars animated show)

- The pc games Dark Forces and Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, including their novelization by William C. Dietz. Many characters are from these games/novels.

- Masters of Darkness I: The Third Option, of course. There's a plot summary attached to that story (at the end), if you don't want to read through that one.

Any reviews or comments would be appreciated, despite this story being old. I love to get feedback on characters, plot, or writing style, so don't be shy. :)

Thanks for reading,
