Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, nor KotOR. I do not own any character herein, except maybe for some characters that will show up later on.
This story will span the entire KotOR game, with a twist. Instead of Revan, another character will take his place. This will also not end with this story, but be continued in another story, which will target the events leading up the movies, especially Revenge of the Sith. This person will undergo a change of character or perspective on life. You will soon know who this mysterious person is.
This story will also change partially how things happen. Certain events might not happen, and others may come instead. The main character (Who is not Revan) will react in his way, but gradually change over time. How he will change, I leave up to you to think about. Enjoy the story, and please comment, if you like it!
This story came to me once when I was bored. So I began to write it, and then this project of sorts sprang up.
Knights of the Old Republic
The Sith from the Future
Shrouded in the darkness, a figure stands, watching the Jedi Temple. The figure snarls with contempt as he eyes the Jedis entering and exiting the Temple. He fingers the cylindrical device hanging in his belt, his finger resting on the activation button, that would make a large red beam of light emit from the two ends of the long cylinder. He wishes that he could jump down amongst the Jedi and kill a few of them, but his Master denies him that pleasure. He constantly tells him that they have to be patient, that their time will come.
But he does not wish to wait. The black- and red-tattooed warrior pulls up his cloak, obscuring his face from view, if anyone would think to look up the tall, dark building. The Jedi believed them to be extinct, but they were very much alive.
The Sith warrior suddenly felt a disturbance in the Force, which seemed to originate from the Jedi Temple. He frowned, and grew anxious as the source came closer and closer…
Under his watching gaze, a Padawan and his Master exits the Temple. The disturbance comes from the two men, he realizes. Something important would happen to them, and he would be involved in it somehow. Maybe he was to kill them in a way that would mark the downfall of the Jedi? Maybe. Just then his communicator began to beep. He sighs irritated, his master is searching for him again.
"Yes, my Master?" he says quietly and respectfully as the holographic projection of a hooded man faded into life. A raspy, slightly distorted voice emanated from the mouth of the man, saying coldly: "Lord Maul, I have detected a disturbance in the Force. I wish you to investigate it now."
"I also felt it Master, but it came from two Jedi in the Temple. I could feel the disturbance surround them as they left the Temple" he hisses, the sickly-yellow eyes darting between the Temple and his Master.
The Master lifts an eyebrow in surprise, but says not much more. Maul knew this to be a game. His Master was trying to trick him into cutting communications without permit, which would ensure a punishment. But the Zabrak was not that stupid. He plays along, for now.
"Master, I could eliminate them right now, if you but give the command" he says, the eagerness for combat underlying his tone. His Master chuckles and says: "I know how much you want to, Lord Maul. But our time is not yet. Soon, once the Trade Federation start their invasion of Naboo, we will show ourselves. Keep an eye on those two Jedi, do not lose them out of sight." With that his Master cut communications, leaving a deadly silence hanging in the air.
Darth Maul sighs angrily, and walks away into the darkness of the building. He wanted to do battle against a Jedi, but would have to wait.
Instead, once inside his private training area, he starts a combat simulation against some very deadly droids. As the droids activate and begin to spray blaster fire at him, he activates his double-bladed lightsaber and uses the Force to leap over the droids, cutting them down as he soars through the air. He lands perfectly, and watch the droids crumble to the ground. A smile spreads over his lips. He is a great warrior, trained to slay Jedis.
"I will be the one to bring the Jedi down!" he whispers out in the building, the only other sound the traffic outside the training facility.
But as he prepared to leave the building, another disturbance hit him with such force he almost fell over.
What in the name of the Force is this? he wondered, as he began to search for the source. His jaw dropped, the disturbance was on that very roof! He ran outside, to battle whatever was waiting on the roof.
But when he arrived, there was nothing to be seen, but the disturbance was still there, he could feel it. As he scanned the roof, the disturbance moved itself to behind him. He snarled and whirled around, but saw nothing. Then something grabbed him, and threw him backwards, into a man-sized glowing vortex.
As he passed into the vortex, the world seemed to be stretched until he could not bear to look any longer. After a few minutes, he passed out, and was dumped unceremoniously on a metallic floor…
A/N: Ooh, spooky. Where has Lord Maul been brought? Well, it's quite easy to tell, but still... Enjoy my little own spin-off of KotOR.
