New Jedi Order: Avenger
Summary: AU starting at the end of Star by Star. The Rebellion's darkest secret comes to life as the Sith Lord Starkiller resurfaces just in time to aid the Jedi Strike Force. Can they work together to stop the Vong, or will Starkiller's interference only make things worse?
AN: This uses a concept similar to the one in my Dark Galaxy fic. I want to know which one you think is better, and which one should I continue? Or should I work on both?
Prologue
Anakin Solo stared at the detonator in his hand. He knew what would happen if he used it, but he also knew what would happen if he didn't. His wounds were already so bad that he knew he was going to die before they could escape.
It had to be done.
I'm sorry, Tahiri.
He turned, about to make his suicide run, when the ceiling above the several Vong suddenly exploded. A figure dropped into the room and a red lightsaber flashed over and over again. Vong warriors cried out in shock, surprise, and pain as they were felled. The rest of the Jedi around him could only stare in shock as the figure cut down dozens of foes in a matter of seconds, leaving him the only one alive.
The figure rose, lightsaber held in a reverse grip, its red glow making the figure's menacing armor look demonic. It raised a clawed, half mechanical arm towards the container holding the last of the Voxin DNA. Force lightning flashed, destroying the container and its contents. Then the figure turned towards them.
Anakin felt a chill run through him as he made eye contact, in spite of the fact that the figure was wearing a mask. He knew the figure was looking directly at him, focused, and drawing on the Force. Then, it raised an arm.
Pain tore through him. He felt like someone was trying to tear him apart. It seemed to last an eternity, before he was finally ripped from his body.
The last thing he heard was a voice, as if through a respirator, telling him, "I didn't come all this way to see you die, grandson of Vader." Then darkness claimed him.
