I don't own anything in this story.
Act 0: Prologue pt.1: In the End...
The captain of the ship stared out into the battle, a worried expression on his face. He turned around and walked toward a figure meditating in mid-air.
"My Lord, the fleet is falling apart. Those traitors gave them more information than we thought possible. The Jedi have cut off our supply line and the Republic is slowly surrounding us. Intel reports that they have set up the Mass Shadow Generator and are preparing to activate it"
The figure didn't move a muscle. He wore a tattered and torn black cloak with silver etched on the edges. "Has the weapon been prepared?
"Yes, my lord." The captain said
"Good" A violet and black energy appeared from the figures body. "Activate the Rift Generator in the center of their formation"
From the surface of Malachor 5, a building shaped like the bulb of a plant opened. A small mass of black and Violet swirling winds came from the top with lightning emanating from him.
"Rift Generator, ready" "Fire"
A black hole appeared in the Republic Fleet. The fleet the numbered in the tens of thousands was reduced to a measly few hundred. The ships were sucked into darkness by violet winds that appeared in their ranks. When the black hole disappeared, the Republic ships were in shambles.
"My lord it worked, reports say that the MSG device was sucked into the vortex along with almost the entire Republic Ships. They are retreating. The Republic Incursion is finished" The captain said. A look of relief was seen through the ship.
"Captain, order the fleet to surround the planet. Restock and prepare for the next attack. Our former associates are arriving soon, along with the rest of the Jedi and Republic"
"As you wish, my lord"
The figure went into a deep meditation, as the activity around him hastened.
Mindscape
The figure stood on a ship in the corner. The ship was empty for the most part. Only the sounds of the ships engines were heard. He walked toward the storage area of the ship. He stood in the center of the room. From the shadows of his hood, a lone tear fell from his eye.
"Do you ever wish for what could have been" He turned around and saw two figures in front of him. Two women stood before him, one with white hair, and wearing white robes. The other woman had red hair, and wore green robes.
"Brianna, Mira" He sounded emotionless. "I'm surprise that the bond between us is still in tact. It must be the last ones I have with you people. As for your question, of course. I sometimes wish that things could be different. That you would have come to your senses. That you didn't stab me in the back and that you didn't join with those hypocrites."
Mira with anger in her eyes fired back. "Don't make us out to be the bad guys. You're the one that changed. You forced us to do things that went against our own beliefs. You forced us to watch you turn evil. You broke our hearts. You were supposed to destroy the Triumvirate. Not take over it." Tears flowed down her face
" I didn't force you to do anything. I might have given a little nudge, but all your actions were your own. You two just don't want to admit that you enjoyed, what you became."
"Shut up!" Brianna yelled "You turned us into monsters. We were just puppets for you to use. You never cared for us at all. We tried to save you. Kreia, she corrupted you. She turned you into a monster. Everywhere we went she did it. Telos, Onderon, Dxun, Dantooine, NarShadaa. Korriban was where it truly started. Malachor was just the final blow. Then you started this war"
"What in Bogan's name are you talking about? Kreia didn't corrupt me. In fact, that bitch was just trying to use me to destroy the force. When she realized she couldn't manipulate me like everybody else, she tried to eliminate me. She put my darkness into the light making everybody recognize me for what I was. She first sent Atris, like that would've ever worked. Then Nihillus, but he couldn't touch one so similar to himself. Visas tried to strike me down saying I was worse than Nihillus. Then Kreia sent the walking corpse after me. She knew that I was hungry to regain my lost power. Nihillus and Sion only served as catalyst for her plan. The she hoped to kill me and destroy the force using my own strength. I overwhelmed her, took her power and became complete again. Before she died, she told me of the possible futures in store for our crew, but I don't think even could have foreseen this future."
"You knew this would happen. You could have avoided all of this. What happened to you. Were is the man we loved." Mira said
"I am that man. You two just don't want to admit it. And for the record, I didn't start this war. Your little Republic started to attack outer rim worlds, for some bullshit reasons. I rallied them and retaliated. All I wanted to do was unite the Sith, but was dragged into war. The Republic cause only became just when Revan mad her surprise return. The she attacks me saying I'm the threat. I helped the Republic recover. I defeated the Sith Triumvirate. All I wanted was some Peace and Obscurity. Now were going to lose this battle and I don't have a way to stop it. If it weren't for you, traitors this would be going so much smoother. Especially you two, I should have let Hanharr and Atris kill you. Biggest mistake ever."
"You're the traitor, the deceiver, the monster. Can't you hear yourse-" Brianna was interrupted
"Shut your mouth! Why don't you recognize the truth before your eyes. You two both felt it when you traveled with me. The power you two held you loved, you craved it and you wanted more. You two don't want to admit it, but I know."
"You're wrong" They both said
" Oh yeah, remember when I sent you two, along with Hk-47, to the Tomb of Freedon Nadd. You two absorbed dark side energies in that temple, I know because Hk told me. I could feel your excitement from our bond. You two would have absorbed the energies of that entire Tomb if you could. But, you didn't tell me because you felt guilt."
He looked at Mira's downcast face. "Mira, my love, when we first met you said you never killed anyone. You didn't like killing. Yet, when we travel, you didn't hesitate to strike down anyone who threatened you. You reveled in their death, and you love how strong you felt. When you were about to kill Hanharr, you saw that you were similar to him. You ran away from your power. You tried to save his life but he bled out. You know why you couldn't save him, because you didn't want to. Deep down you knew, that you weren't similar to him but better. It went against your new beliefs, and you couldn't handle it so you ran from your power."
He turned to Brianna, " Brianna, my love, remember when we first met. You asked what the force felt like. I told you and a curiosity was sparked. You wanted to know what it felt like to hold power. Even before you snuck aboard the ship, you felt like Atris and your sisters were holding you back. When Atris told you to spy on me, deep down you knew that this was your opportunity to break away from her restrictions. You gained a love for battle unlike any I saw before you. You came to love me, and I taught you the meaning of war. You fought and killed your sister's so quickly, they didn't even have a chance to cry in pain when you struck them down. You felt a weight lift of your back, then you fought Atris. You almost killed her and showed her what a complete joke she truly was. You looked her in the eyes on that final blow and you saw yourself becoming like Atris. You were disgusted and let down your guard. I felt the turmoil within you as you struggled within yourself over your true self. You blocked yourself off from what you truly enjoyed and ran from your power. "Deep down you hated yourself for not killing Atris, you started to hate me a little and on that day you became like Atris. I should have helped you through your problems. If I had known it would have led to this, I would have held you in my arms and comforted you. For that I'm sorry" They both looked at him with surprise
"I'm sorry to both of you. Things shouldn't have turned out this way. I let my Angels fly away from me. I was lost without you. I never realized how much I loved you two , until you actually left. Know that in my final moments I'll be thinking of you." He disappeared from his mindscape. "Wait!!" they both yelled with tears running down their face, but he was already gone
Back in Reality
"My lord the fleet is prepared for the coming battle"
"Hmm, bring the Noctivagus at the front of the line. We shall be the first defense. Start preparing evacuation on the surface. If the Noctivagus falls, expect no mercy from the Republic."
"My lord, we're will the citizens go"
"Plug in the coordinates for Lehon, even the Republic won't go into the Unknown Regions. They will restock there and head toward Ziost. All the ships surrounding the planet will be their escort."
The captain's eyes widen "So the Noctivagus is also the Last defense."
"Yes, we must expect the worst. Fact is the next Republic fleet to attack, will be led by Revan and those traitors. We can also expect a fleet larger than ours. This war is over. Our only goal now is to protect the citizens of Malachor and to make sure that the Sith aren't defeated. Let me send a message to the Armada and our citizens."
"Yes my lord"
The figure lowered his self toward the ground and walked to the helm of the ship
" Lord Dynastes, we're ready"
"People of Malachor 5, this battle is not over. Our enemies are preparing to overrun us with a massive fleet. They will be cruel and they will kill all of you. I will not lie to you; there is no way to win this battle without sacrificing the lives of our entire planet. This is why I am ordering a planet wide evacuation. You shall be escort by the Armada to the planet Lehon. From their you will go to the planet Ziost in the unknown Regions. Our Sith Brethren will protect you from the Republic. For those of you that want revenge then fight for them in the future, and I guarantee you will have your vengeance. I and I alone will fight this battle. I assure you that the Noctivagus will not fail in her duty. Those traitors that went against us and sold us out to the Republic will not survive. Before this battle is over, I swear to kill not only them, but Revan herself. I will show them the full power of the Sith Imperium and the True power of Darth Dynastes. None shall survive this battle. My final orders are to avenge the Imperium. Destroy the Jedi and crush the Republic." The transmission ended with cheers coming from the planet."
"Captain, hurry up with the evacuation, I need that planet empty in order to achieve my goal."
"Yes, My lord"
Hours later
"Exiting out of Hyperspace, in 3,2,1 now" The large republic fleet emerged from hyperspace intent on destroying the Sith and Malachor 5. They saw only one ship in front of the planet.
Aboard the Noctivagus, Darth Dynastes prepared his plan.
"Fire the hydra cannons." Hundreds of green lights fired from the ship. The Republic put shields up to defend. In mid flight the lights split and hundreds became thousands. Republic ships, not on the front line were destroyed, as they were unprepared for the attack.
"Don't let up, fire the Black Star Cannon." Before the Republic could react to this onslaught, a black light illuminated by violet light shot from the Noctivagus. Thousands of Republic ships were destroyed.
The captain of the Noctivagus thought that the battle was almost over. However, more Republic ships shot out of Hyperspace. They let loose a barrage weapons on the lone ship.
"Raise the shields, and prepare the EMP cannon. My lord we need a plan."
"Sir we're getting a transmission," a lieutenant said from her chair1
"Patch it through" A woman in a black cloak with brown hair appeared on the screen. The figure broke Darth Dynastes focus for a split second.
"Tiberius, or is Darth Dynastes now, surrender and your lives will be spared"
Darth, Dynastes was meditating in the center of the bridge. He opened his eyes and two silver eyes appeared through the shadow of his hooded cloak.
"Lady Revan, how long has it been since we spoke?"
"Since the mandalorian Wars after Malachor V"
"Hm, fitting we speak considering that we're back at Malachor"
"Let's cut to the chase. One ship can't beat our fleets, surrender and you will be sent into exile again."
"Is that before or after the Jedi decide to strip me of the force? No matter, I'm not going to survive this battle"
"Quitting already, at least you know what to expect"
"Oh I'm not quitting, I'm just making sure you die. For one said to be the greatest force user in history, it's hard to believe that you are so blind to what is about to happen. Captain, fire the EMP. Make sure they can't escape their fates"
"Raise the shields!"
The republic fleet drifted in space as the EMP shut down their ships. Every force user on the battlefield then realized something. Behind the Noctivagus, Malachor 5, started to spin faster than it should. A violet/green aura appeared around the Noctivagus and Malachor 5
Darth Dynastes sent a message through the force. "This is your fate Jedi. I am bonded with this planet. If I die it dies and vice-versa. I will destroy this planet and all who oppose me. Feel the true power of the Grand Imperator Darth Tiberius Dynastes."
Malachor 5 started to have Green jagged lines seen on its surface. The planet glowed an intense green as lightning started to appear from within the planet. It capsized on itself in a Green light. The Republic fleets saw the planet start to shrink into a large green Sphere. Every Jedi could feel the massive build up of energy from the planet. Then it exploded and all traces of the republic fleet and the Noctivagus were destroyed. Through the force, the death of Revan and Tiberius at the same time sent shockwaves throughout the force. Every one felt it, whether force sensitive or not. This would be the battle that for centuries be known as the bloodiest battle in galactic history. The battle that would be simply know as the The End.
However, not all souls were laid to rest that day...
