Fog of War

by IzoH

An alternative where the Nightsisters emerge victorious from Dooku's attack, forcing Sidious to rethink his plans, the end of the Clone Wars, and the start of a new war between the Jedi and Sith, against the Nightsisters. Contains language and very violent content(maybe not in the first few chapters). Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters used in this story.

1. Chapter 1

These are all short stories from both the movies and TV series, giving my opinion on what would have happened if a decision that resulted in a major plot points had been changed.

Death of Count Dooku and victory of the Nightsisters

During the clone wars, Mother Talzin creates a voodoo doll of Count Dooku, and is about to kill him, when General Grievous interferes, in this plot twist, the Nightsisters emerge victorious. I'm experimenting a little bit by going into the clone wars so here goes.

Mother Talzin narrowed her eyes in satisfaction as the white figure of Count Dooku disappeared into the bubbling green liquid of her death potion, and savored his death scream from thousands of miles away as the doll quivered before falling limp. Almost too easy, thought Mother Talzin, without their leader, General Grievous and the rest of the droids will parish within the Nightsisters mist.

On Vjun, inside of Dooku's palace, a medical droid crouches over the scarred and plagued body of Count Dooku, before stating in a emotionless and mechanical tone,

"Count Dooku's pulse has stopped, as well as his heartbeat, and all of his vitals have shut down. Count Dooku is dead, inform the Trade Federation and their superior of his fate." One of the three magna guards departed from the room. Inside the dark holo room the magna guard turned on the hologram, and the cowering figure Nute Gunray appeared.

"I was expecting and audience with Count Dooku, not one of his toy soldiers," said Nute Gunray, offended by this downgrade of his importance and position.

"Count Dooku is dead, the new highest ranking officer of the Droid Army is yet to be decided, inform your superior," the magna guard shut off the holo connector before the Neimonidian could give a quick retort to word "superior".

Asajj Ventress and General Grievous engaged in a furious battle as the Nightsister and Droids clashed, both loosing numbers. Grievous was temporarily driving Ventress back with a whirlwind of blows, gouging deep into the ground and metal surrounding them, leaving molted gashes. Ventress parried with her blood red sabers, before slashing wildly at Grievous's exposed side, finishing with a jab into his stomach. The attack sent Grievous tumbling backward, but quickly regaining his footing. Ventress continued to attack, her dual blades sliced through the air majestically, before landing with shattering momentum unto Grievous's defense, who growled with anger, and was slowly pushed back by several more blows from Ventress. Ventress pushed Grievouses blades down before flipping over him and delivering the final blow, slicing straight through his metal armor and turning the few internal organs that resided within his shell into glowing embers. Ventress took several satisfying steps back before using the force to blow Grievous away, into two pieces. Ventress took a moment to drink in her victory before returning to the battle. The reanimated night sisters had joined the battle, and with Grievous dead, the droids had lost all sense of direction and strategy, turning to defense, to which they were easily ambushed and destroyed by the Nightsisters. Then came the tanks, which Ventress quickly dismembered, slicing through the circuits and then destroying the droids inside. The red forests were filled with the evil and menacing laughs and screams of victory as the heaps of droids were incinerated.

Darth Sidious stared at the horrific corpse of Count Dooku, which was covered in infected gashes that glowed green. He could feel the anger and power growing inside of him as he calculated the damage this would do to his plan. Years of rewiring the senate and training a new apprentice that could have been used in building his empire. It was a time of desperate actions, and for a long time he had sensed the ever growing presence of his former apprentice Darth Maul. Sidious smiled, there may still be hope for his plan after all. Turning to Mas Amedas, Sidious smiled.

"Set course for Lotho Minor."

So yeah, pretty short chapter, but I'm definitely going to improve as the story evolves. Hope you enjoyed and please tell me your ideas to make the story better :D
