Chapter 3: Three siblings
Two red skinned sith furiously sparred inside a large chamber.
One had average sized red hair and red eyes with four tendrils by his mouth. He body was athletic and he stood around six foot. He had a lightsaber with a slightly curved hilt. The saber itself was black with a violet glow around the saber.
He sparred a much larger sith. The larger sith stood over six feet tall and was over three hundred pounds of muscle. He had darker red skin and red eyes with two tendrils around his mouth. The larger sith wielded a violet lightsaber in each hand , neither sith had a shirt on.
The larger sith unleashed a fury of lightsaber slashes almost too fast to see. However, despite this the younger sith knocked them all away with the immortal Soresu form. The younger sith's Soresu was perfected from years of hardened training. He kept away each attack before thrusting his hand forward and hurled the large sith back.
As the larger sith got up four red cloaked imperial guards with electro-staffs ran at the younger sith.
The younger sith kept back their attacks as the other sith hurled both of his lightsabers forward.
The younger sith kept knocking away the guard's staffs before using a burst of telekinetic energy to force the lightsabers away.
The older sith lord caught his lightsabers before aiming his hands at two crates bigger than X-wings and hurled them at the younger sith.
The younger sith's forearm's surged with red and black force lighting before he slammed the ground with his right fist, unleashing a blast of red and black lightning around him that hurled the four imperial guards back before he turned and unleashed a pulse of telekinetic energy that shattered the two crates into pieces.
He reignited his lightsaber and leapt at the older sith, his lightsaber met the older sith's and unleashed gathered force that forced the older sith onto the ground.
"Well done my prince." The older sith said as he got up.
"In all my years as the Infinite Champion I have never had a student as skilled as you. Nor surpass my own skills at such a young age."
"My work today isn't done yet Lord Kherus." The younger sith said as a scrawny human hurried over and handed the sith prince a towel.
He wiped the sweat off his face and body before the servant began to place armor on the sith.
The armor was black and red with red shoulder platse. The back had a lower red and black cape from the waist down in the back. The graves were red and grey and pointed up in the knee area. The shoulders also had large golden spikes as well as a red hood. A helmet was also placed over his head, the helmet was black and red with a black visor, the overall design of the helmet reminiscent of Darth Revan's mask.
The prince saw the servant shaking in fear.
"Sechel what are you doing?"
"I, I."
"You look like you're about to pass out. I told you to eat more, now go." The human dashed off as the prince shook his head.
"The dammed fool thinks I'm going to snap his neck if he accidentally drops something." The sith prince said before walking off.
Two hours later he stood in a chamber with a holo-projector displaying a battlefield with two massive armies.
Around the prince were three figures each wearing imperial officers uniforms. One was a red skinned sith woman with short black hair an yellow eyes and check claw appendages. She uniform was grey with red shoulder epaulets.
The second was a human with a white officer's uniform and silver epaulets. He had grey hair and green eyes.
The third was a chiss woman with a white officer's uniform and golden epaulets.
They watched as the sith prince directed the projected soldiers from one army against the other.
"And just like that , the enemy is surrounded. The battle is over with minimal casualties."
"Outstanding prince Skageps." The grey haired officer said.
"Quite impressive, it seems you've been listening to our lessons well." The sith woman said.
"And Grand Admiral Thrawn? What is his opinion admiral Ar'alani?"
"Admiral Thrawn is equally impressed with your test results my prince."
Moments later the doors to the chamber opened as a pair of imperial guards entered.
"Prince Skageps, your father commands your audience."
In another location, onboard an orbital space station thirty men in blue light armor with blue helmets and black visors with short blaster carbines sprinted to a doorway.
They tried to take defensive positions before the door was blown open.
In rushed a young red skinned sith man with dark yellow eyes, an athletic body standing at around 5 foot 10, black hair in a military buzzcut with no tendrils on his mouth or claw like appendages. He wore black and red plate armor with a cape around the back. In each of his hands was a lightsaber with pointed ends. His lightsabers were both black with a glowing red aura around them.
Around him were ten infinite legionaries in their stormtrooper esk advanced white armor. They had their standard squad formations and armaments.
The sith leapt into the group of soldiers, furiously slashing apart five of the soldiers while deflecting blasts from the others.
He held his hand out at five more, lifting them up into the air before snapping their necks.
As his soldiers battled the other opposing soldiers, the sith young man saw a woman leap down from an upper platform.
The woman had long golden red hair and grey eyes with fair skin. She wore a black jacket with scale sleeves and ignited a cyan lightsaber.
She was joined by human with a burned face and a black vest who ignited an orange lightsaber.
The last person to join her was a mon calamari with an orange lightsaber.
"Stand down sith, I am Tenel Ka Chume Ta' Djo. We are Jedi knights and we will stop." She started before the sith smashed into the three, unleashing a furry of strikes using the aggressive and acrobatic Ataru form. The three Jedi knights tried to keep up with him but the sith was too fast.
As he knocked Tenel and the calimari's lightsabers away, the sith unleashed a blast of telekinetic force energy , hurling the burned man apart before concentrating on the other two Jedi again.
The sith unleashed a force scream, knocking the two back before he unleashed a blast of violet and black force lightning into the burned Jedi, making him cry out in pain before he hurled his left lightsaber into his neck.
The other two Jedi both came at the sith warrior from different directions only to have the sith warrior keep their lightsabers back before he managed to cut off both of the mon calimari's arms and then his head.
The remaining Jedi lifted up a large destroyed walkway before hurling it at the sith warrior who slashed the alway apart with his lightsabers before blasting a telekinetic wave filled with lightning.
The jedi grunted as she tried to get up before the sith warrior leapt several feet into the air before coming down on her.
Both of the sith warrior's lightsabers stabbed through her chest as the woman convulsed.
The sith warrior rose up before he saw his infinite legionaries had secured the corridor.
"We're clear sir." The sith warrior and his men continued through the hallway before reaching the command center.
The command center was littered with the corpses of the blue soldiers. Fifteen infinite legionaries stood over them as well as four infinite knights in their red armor.
The four knights knelt before the sith warrior as he walked by them, the sith sighing while shaking his head as they did so.
"Get up." He said as the four rose.
The sith warrior reached another red skinned with who wore black and red armor with a hood, shoulder spikes, and revan esk mask-helmet.
A dead rodian jedi was before his feet with a human jedi being force choked by him.
The jedi held his throat before it snapped, the sith lord dropping him to the ground.
"Pathetic." He said before seeing the sith warrior kneel before him.
"Darth Scallith my master, we've secured the Hapes consortium's station, I slew three jedi knights in the process." He said revealing their lightsabers.
The older sith lord turned to one of the infinite legionaries who nodded.
"Three at once my lord."
"You have done well Arvidas, my apprentice. You have proven yourself a true sith today, you knelt a sith apprentice." Darth Scallith said before he ignited his red lightsaber and slashed it down across his apprentice's face, coming within a centimeter of hitting him.
"Rise a Sith lord, chose your name."
"Malice, Lord Malice."
"Rise Lord Malice." Lord Malice rose with a very satisfied smile.
"You honor me master, I swear to prove my worth as a lord of the Sith."
Moments later the two saw a pair of imperial guards enter the command center.
"What's this about then?" Darth Scallith asked.
"We're here for prince Arvidas. His father commands his presence." Darth Scallith turned to Lord Malice who tightened his grips.
In another location a young sith woman with long dark red hair in a ponytail with dark yellow eyes wielded a double ended violet lightsaber. She battled another true sith who had lighter red skin and purple eyes. He had long black hair tied into a samurai like topknot with bangs. Neither had tendrils on their mouths or claw like appendages and both had athletic builds, the man being slightly taller. He wielded a black mantle lightsaber with a fiery orange blade, the hilt ending with a sharp fang.
He wore black armor with silver and yellow highlights around it. The young woman wore black and gold mandalorian armor without a helmet and jump boots rather than a jump pack.
The two exchanged fast strikes with the male sith moving under the female as she acrobatically leapt over him. He blocked both of her strikes before catching her next series of spinning strikes.
The female gave an evil grin as she unleashed an explosive wave of force energy that knocked the male back a bit.
The woman blasted violet and black force lightning at the male who held it back with his hand before the woman rushed forward and knocked his lightsaber away before forcing him to the ground with two strikes to the chest. The man knocked the woman off her feet with a sweep of his foot as he flipped himself back up and pulled his lightsaber to his hand.
The woman leapt up as well exchanging a few more strikes before flipping again and kicking her opponent back before rushing forward and grabbing his neck.
"I win again." She said before planting a kiss on his lips.
A grappling hook flew around the young woman's chest and pulled her back.
The sith slashed the grapple off her as she saw a mandalorian in green armor with a green scarf cape over his left shoulder.
"You let your guard down Ravieth. It looks like you need another lesson."
He fired several blasts at her as Ravieth deflected them. The mandalorian flew into the air with his jetpack while firing two rockets at her. Ravieth deflected them away before leaping up and kicking him back down.
As they landed, the mandalorian caught her leg and tossed Ravieth onto her back.
She got up and slashed at him, the Mandalorian avoiding the slashes before unleashing a flamethrower at her. The sith girl used the force to keep the fire away before firing her own rocket.
The Mandalorian flew up and fired another grapple down around Ravieth's legs and flipped her.
He landed and tried to fire, but Ravieth unleashed violet and black force lightning only to have the Mandalorian fly up and pull her, the sith girl deflecting the blasts before firing her own grapple hook around the Mandalorian after slicing the hook off her legs.
She pulled the Mandalorian down and slashed his gun in half. After she did this he knocked her arm back and kicked her lightsaber free. The two engaged in a fierce hand to hand combat struggle with the mandalorian having the upper hand before Ravieth unleashed her flamethrower.
The mandalorian flew up again and kicked Ravieth onto the ground before landing over her with his wrist blaster aimed at her.
Ravieth unleashed another burst of force energy that hurled the Mandalorian back before she used the force to rip his jet pack off, tossing him onto the ground.
Ravieth came over and offered her hand.
"And thus the legendary Boba Fett is bested yet again."
Boba took Ravieth's hand and got up.
"It seems you sith are capable of learning from real warriors."
Several mandalorians clad in armor were watching the sparring session, a few chanting and cheering.
"Boba!" Another mandalorian said as he entered the chamber.
"We've got visitors." He said before Ravieth saw they were a pair of imperial guards.
"Princess Ravieth, your father commands your presence."
On Lehon, the Arvidas entered the chamber before the throne room.
"Well well well, my little brother has returned." He heard before seeing Skageps waiting for him.
"Skageps, I was wondering if you'd ever leave the comfort of the capital to join us in the war." Arvidas said.
"Slumming with the lesser nobles has not been kind to you, where's my beloved little brother. Lord Kherus could have trained you too, as well as my other teachers. While you were being trained like a common sith, I was trained by the finest sith in the Infinite Empire."
"Ahh there's my brothers." The two heard, turning to see Ravieth with another sith.
"Ah yes, our sweet little sister. You should really change out of that armor, father may find it disrespectful." Skageps said.
"I don't think he'll mind. I am his youngest after all, and his precious little princess." She said in an evil manner.
"Prince Skageps, prince Arvidas." The other sith said.
"It's Lord Malice , Darth Arkorous. I earned that title today."
"Lord Malice, you really have forgotten who you are haven't you." Skageps said.
"If you're a lord, that means Arkorous is technically above you, go on then brother, kneel before him."
"That's not."
Arvidas knelt before Arkorous.
The three other sith looked shocked at this.
"My lord." Arvidas said.
"You and I need to have a long talk little brother." Skageps said before two imperial guards entered with a red skinned sith leading them. The sith wore a black imperial guard uniform.
"Your father will see you now."
The three were lead inside, Arkorous entered as well but stayed at the edge of the throne room.
The three sith approached the throne and saw their father sitting atop it. Standing beside the throne was another red skinned sith. She had a lighter red skin tone and long black hair tied into a pony tail. She had no tendrils and dark yellow eyes and looked do be in her late thirties. She also looked very attractive physically, a large chest and rear end with an hourglass figure. She wore black fiber armor with robes underneath and a lightsaber at her side.
"Kneel before the Infinite emperor, Draikor III."
The three siblings knelt.
"Rise." Their father said in his powerful voice.
"Father, mother. It's always good to see you." Skageps said.
"It's been far too long since the five of us were together. My beautiful children." The sith woman said as she approached the three and touched each of their faces.
"Only my first born seems to care for his mother anymore, my other children run off leaving the one who loves them the most to worry." She said touching their cheeks.
"Arvidas says he's acquired the title lord." Ravieth said.
"What's this?" She said.
"Kiara." Their father said as she moved back beside him.
"My children, it is good to see you all again. You're all grown now, and fully trained , it's time for you to begin."
"Begin?" Arvidas asked.
"You are all my children, but one day, only one of you will sit atop this throne and reign as the Infinite Emperor. Our family has ruled the sith for over three thousand years, since our empire was reborn by Emperor Draikor I, the Wrath of the Empire. One of you shall carry on our family's legacy, one of you will become the Infinite Emperor."
All three felt their hearts race, they knew this was coming. Their whole lives they had known, and now the day had come.
"Only the most worthy of you will inherit my throne, and what better way to determine this now that we're at war. You will all have plenty of chances to prove yourselves."
"I won't let you down father." Skageps said.
"I will prove myself worthy." Arvidas said.
"I am worthy." Ravieth said.
"Let me be clear." Draikor III said with his tone getting more commanding as he rose to his feet.
"The one I chose to inherit my throne will be chosen by their own merits, not by tearing down their siblings or sabotaging them. You are not to harm each other, you will not work against each other."
"Yes father."
"Before the days of the Infinite Empire , our ancestors fought each other as much if not more than their enemies. They could have conquered the galaxy a dozen times had their petty civil wars not destroyed them. Draikor I perfected the sith order, he stopped all sith civil wars, we have not known any since our empire's birth." Draikor III came close to the three and put his arms around them.
"But it's also more than that. The three of your are brothers and sister, nothing runs deeper than blood. Nothing will change that fact, nothing will change that we are a family, a family must never turn on each other, never."
"Yes father."
"I swear to it." Skageps said.
"As do I." Arvidas said.
"As fun as it would be, I couldn't backstab these two." Ravieth said.
Their father smiled.
"My children. I look forward to seeing how you will prove yourselves. But ensure you return every once and a while. Your mother does miss you so, as do I." The three bowed before departing.
Kiara turned to Draikor again.
She noticed the concerned look on his face as he clasped his hands.
"Something troubles you my love. You fear they will turn on each other."
"A Sith knows no fear. But it does concern me. 'Sigh' I can't pretend to not understand the temptation. I was nineteen when my mother told me and Julza only one of us would inherit her throne. Julza was older than me, and more powerful, but she trusted me too. The thought of backstabbing her crossed my mind more than once, the reward was the Infinite Throne."
"But you didn't, did you."
Draikor smiled a little.
"No, I trained harder, I worked with the military and hunted down the insurgents plaguing the empire and earned the Infinite throne. I could never betray my beloved sister."
"And now she serves as the head of the dark council."
Kiara rubbed her husband's arm.
"You shouldn't worry my love. We raised them well. I never let those we nurses near my babies, and you were a dutiful father, putting your children ahead of your empire."
"I followed my own mother and fathers' example. I suppose growing up they never showed signs of working against each other, even knowing this day would come."
"I still remember the three playing conquerers, it was so cute, for Skageps's eight birthday you brought in a company of infinite legionaries to take part in their game."
Kaira lowered her head and nuzzled it against the side of Draikor's head.
"We can still have one more child my love."
Draikor smiled.
"Perhaps we can work on that tonight my love. For now , you and I have a meeting with my sister and Grand Admiral Thrawn."
Outside the throne room the three siblings met.
"Well I guess this is it." Skageps said as the three gave competitive looks at each other.
"May the best sith win." Arvidas said.
"I will." Ravieth said before she left with Darth Arkorous.
A squad of Imperial guardsmen approached Skageps.
"Let's go, we have a conquest to plan."
Arvidas left alone.
In orbit above the planet were hundreds of the Harrower class heavy cruisers and dozens of Star Destroyer III's.
Also with them were three Executor class Super Star destroyers.
Skageps arrived on the bridge of one of the Super Star destroyers.
He saw Admiral Ar'alani waiting for him.
"My prince." She said bowing her head.
"Is the fleet ready admiral?"
"Yes my liege, the Korriban-fire and the rest of the ships are ready for departure."
The imperial guardsmen stood around Skageps.
"Let's go." The executor class super star destroyer jumped into light speed with over twenty Harrower cruisers and twelve Star destroyer III's joining them.
Arvidas arrived on the bridge of a Star Destroyer III.
"Rear admiral Pellaeon, are we ready to depart?"
"Yes Lord Malice." The Star Destroyer jumped into light speed with another Star Destroyer and three Harrowers.
Ravieth and Arkorous landed inside an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer that had been painted entirely red.
They walked past dozens of mandalorians inside the ship before reaching the bridge.
"There you are. Can we head out now?" Boba asked.
"Yeah, sorry to keep everyone on the Errant Venture waiting." Ravieth said.
"Corinth, let's go." Boba said.
A Twilik Mandalorian near one of the the terminals saw a stuffed human head with a cigar in his mouth before picking it up.
"What's that Booster Terrik, you don't like us stealing the star destroyer you stole. Well too bad!" The Mandalorian laughed before activating the sequence.
The red star destroyer jumped to light speed.
Onboard his flagship, Skageps stared out of the front window with a intense expression on his face.
"You've trained your entire life for this, you've worked harder than any sith alive. You are the most worthy of the Infinite Throne, now is the chance to prove it."
Arvidas stared out the front window of his flagship's bridge with an intense expression.
"You've had to earn everything you ever had, you didn't need to use your position as prince to get things you didn't earn. You went through the sith academy and became the top apprentice, you earned your title of sith lord. Now you will earn the Infinite throne."
Ravieth looked out of the bridge of the Errant Venture with an smile on her face.
"The Infinite throne is my, all I need to do is take it."
