I
Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, time for another story, this one about Star Wars. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own Star Wars, Disney and Lucas Art do.
(Eternal Flagship.)
The two force users continued their dance, the one being, clad in all black flipped out of the way as the Yellow Saber slashed a grove in the ground, he twirled a purple colored saberstaff overhead before slicing at the other man.
"Give this up, Valkorion… I took your empire from you…. And I will take your life…"
The Sith Lord hissed as he retreated 2 steps, blocking a few swings as the battle around the duo raged on.
"The Empire was weak… If it fell to you, it doesn't deserve to stand…"
Valkorion hissed before the Sith Lord turned and kicked the Emperor of the Eternal Empire.
As he did, he thought back to the events that had brought him to this point.
The first memory that came to mind was the capture of his flagship, the Onslaught.
(Balmorra, 2 years before)
The Shadow flew through an asteroid field as it returned to the Deluge, a BSX-5 Dreadnought which was scheduled to make a hyperspace jump to a battle.
A battle which Nocturnus had caused to draw Knew out, it had seemed to work.
The Shadow docked with the Dreadnought as the flagship jumped, Nocturnus brushed off his armor, they were 5 minutes away from the battle.
"Lord Nocturnus…"
Nocturnus heard as he turned to see one of his Lieutenants. He walked as he passed crew and Imperial soldiers, all loyal to him and his cause.
"Knew will not stay like this for long, as soon as we get there, wait for the battle to die down then launch the ambush… I will handle Knew personally…."
Nocturnus said as he clenched his fists, his double-bladed saber hung from his belt.
Nocturnus knew the Emperor didn't trust him, all Sith craved power, but they were all loyal to the Sith Emperor or the Empire.
Nocturnus was loyal to the Empire, the Emperor, he wasn't… And he would do anything to limit the Sith Lord from gaining power.
He chuckled, Kuew was one of the Emperor's Lieutenants, and the one who had managed events so Nocturnus wouldn't get any Harrower-Class Battlecruisers.
Nocturnus waited until the Deluge dropped out of Hyperspace as it came across a battle between 3 Valor -Class Cruisers, 3 Thrantha-class Corvettes and 3 Harrower-Class Battlecruisers.
Nocturnus watched as the Republic and Sith Empire forces, he ordered the Deluge forward, he would board the Onslaught, kill Kuew on the bridge and claim the ship as his own.
He wanted the Shadow to be launched, that was when Mark-VI Supremacy Class Interceptors were launched at him.
"Launch the fighters… And target those support Cruisers."
Nocturnus said as the Shadow launched out of the hanger as the Fury-Class Interceptor spun through turbolaser fire as the 28 turbolasers on the Deluge fired on the 3 Harrower-Class Battlecruisers, it set down in the hanger as Imperial Soldiers charged the shuttle.
Nocturnus leapt from the ramp as he activated his double-bladed lightsaber, the Blood Red Blades caused the soldiers to back up as Nocturnus turned and force pushed the soldiers to the side.
"Those of you with intelligence would stand down or join me… Those who are loyal to your master will be slain…"
Nocturnus said as the Shadow turned and sped away, 2 soldiers tried to shoot the Sith Lord before he sliced them along the chest before kicking another to the ground.
He started walking towards the lift as another squad of Imperial Soldiers charged him only for Nocturnus to force push them to the side as the ship shook.
His reinforcements had probably shown up by now, he would see it from the bridge.
"My lord, the Republic is sending boarding shuttles, it seems they want to take the fleet in one piece… I've sent boarding parties to take control of the Onslaught."
He heard from the Deluge's captain, he would make sure to thank the man after this battle was over.
"Target the Onslaught with Ion Cannons then… I want this ship intact… Destroy the other cruisers if you want and contact the Republic and tell them we will handle this…. I will not attack the Republic unless I have to…"
Nocturnus said, many of his followers wanted him to attack the Republic, he wouldn't allow it and for reasons only he knew.
"And what do you think you're doing onboard my ship, runt….? Don't forget who I am…"
He heard from Kuew as he chuckled, the lift let off a level below the bridge.
"If you were a true Sith, you would fight me directly… Your soldiers will not stop me…"
Nocturnus said as the doors opened and a squad of Imperial Soldiers charged him, he lanced out his hand and Force Lightning shot from his fingertips, frying the soldiers as he heard the sounds of his troops boarding the flagship.
"My Lord, the Republic has ceased fire and our boarding parties have boarded the Onslaught… Though their fighters are still keeping us from docking with the Onslaught."
Nocturnus heard before the lift went up and then went down to his level as he was turning.
Kuew stepped out of the lift as Nocturnus said as he chuckled in amusement.
"Finally came to face me, seems you know this was coming, haven't you?"
Nocturnus asked as the Cyborg sighed and charged him, his red single bladed saber ready to cut down this threat to the Emperor.
Nocturnus turned and drew his saber in one motion, the left blade of the saber knocked the blade along as he force pushed the Sith Lord back.
"You should have joined me when you had the chance…"
Nocturnus said as Kuew charged him and clashed against the Sith Lord as he slammed his hilt into the man.
"You know he cannot be beaten… And I enjoy my position, Nocturnus… And I will not tolerate you attacking my fleet."
Kuew hissed as he slashed at Nocturnus, he simply spun around the hit and slashed back, he spun and kicked the cyborg back as he slashed at him in a whirlwind like move, it nearly cut him but Kuew dodged it as Nocturnus shocked him with a bolt of Sith Lightning.
"You underestimate my plans, old man…. The throne belongs to me… And me alone."
Nocturnus hissed as he easily dodged a swing at his head before he headbutted the man backwards.
Kuew rose and continued to go after the Sith Lord Assassin, a lunge, a simple tactic to finish him off, a final move.
One of arrogance, Nocturnus turned and lanced at him in a stab from his Lightsaber.
Kuew found air and he slowly locked down to see the blade of his enemies' saber through his chest.
Author Notes
Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know its short and doesn't explain much, first chapters aren't my thing. As for Nocturnus? I had the idea after seeing a few videos of TOR… This will change the lore of TOR a bit… next chapter will be in a few weeks and will show another flashback and then explain the aftermath of this battle. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
