Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadows and Light. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I Don't own anything; Lucas Arts and Disney do.
(Lothal 3BBY)
The rows of Stormtroopers, Death Troopers, Jump Troopers and TIE Pilots parted as Khyr's TIE Advanced V1 landed and the Sith Lord climbed out and walked through the rows of soldiers.
"You must be Darth Khyr, Lord Vader mentioned you and said to keep your presence unkept from the emperor." Tarkin said as Khyr entered his office.
"Lord Vader has his reasons, vie already read up on the events so far. There's been dozens of killed Imperial soldiers, Tarkintown has been razed, we lost a Star Destroyer, the Rebels stole a shuttle, and Lord Vader destroyed their fleet." Khyr said, Tarkin could hear the annoyance in his voice.
"And the Sovereign, my personal Star Destroyer and flagship was destroyed…" Tarkin stated, Khyr crossed his arms.
"I am not here to destroy their entire cell, I am here for the Jedi, and Lord Vader put me in charge of the entire Imperial Military if needed to destroy all of them within this system…." Khyr stated before activating the desk holoprojector.
It showed a female Togruta which rotated as Khyr looked at Tarkin.
"I'm here for her, Vader said you know her. Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano, she has been building a rebel cell of her own to assist in the war effort in this sector… The Blade of Akul. Tano is why I am here, governor. She is what I hunt… Now, if we are done talking, I have a plan to talk about, and you have important business I heard you were in the middle of." Khyr said before he began to walk away.
"Don't estimate her, Lord Khyr, Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan might not be a threat according to what Lord Vader stated… But Tano is a dangerous threat." Tarkin said, Khyr turned slightly.
"So, vie been told…" The young Sith Lord said before walking away.
He would return to the Desolation, plan a trap for the Rebels, and lure the Jedi out when they went to save the Rebels.
(Super Star Destroyer, Executor Class, Desolation, bridge war room.)
Khyr watched as a squadron of TIE Fighters moved by the window, out of the Arquitens- Class Command Cruisers of which there were six and the eight Star Destroyers which made up his fleet, the Desolation was still his favorite warship.
"Your proposing laying waste to Garel, an Imperial Planet, just to lure out the Rebels?" Admiral Farhor asked, alongside him were the ISB Agent Kallus, Admiral Konstantine and the Inquisitors Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister.
"Garel is a planet tainted with Rebels, Admiral. We have reports that only confirm that. I'd be surprised if full blown war didn't break out at the end of the cycle. My answer is simple, yes, that is what I suggested, because destroying all of Garel would also lure them out." Khyr said before he gazed at the Inquisitors.
"And our master is well aware of the Inquisitorius… And their failure to exterminate the Jedi on Lothal…" Khyr hissed with annoyance, the two were silent before Seventh spoke up.
"Vader didn't say anything about an apprentice… And not of one who would be preforming our duties…" Seventh said before she was cut off, she slightly lifted into the air.
Khyr slightly closed his fist before dropping the inquisitor to the ground.
"Lord Vader, Inquisitor, and my arrival here is due to your leader's failure to capture the rebels. I arrived because you were all incapable of handling a single freighter worth of Rebels. I was put in charge of all of you to ensure the Rebels are exterminated, and Tano is captured and brought to Lord Vader. I am not here because of your squabbling for a position that you will only earn when one outdoes the other." Khyr stated before turning to give orders.
"Admiral Farhor, you will blockade Garel, anything that isn't shot down by our fighters or bombed out by TIE bombers Desolation and your fleet will shoot down. Fifth and Seventh will lead the fighters until the Jedi appear, then you will join me. I will lead the ground assault and slaughter every rebel who doesn't escape to die in the air." Khyr ordered, he turned to Kallus.
"Kallus, I want the system locked down, if a single Rebel corvette escapes the system, I want to know about it… Konstantine, you will standby to make sure if the rebels escape Garel that they are hunted down…. The Jedi are among the Rebels, if the Rebels escape, then they will possibly will as well." Khyr said, he was greeted by nods.
"Leave Tano to me, every other Rebel besides Commander Sato can be wiped out, Darth Vader wants that girl… And we will capture her if I must destroy the entire system to do that." Khyr hissed.
Ahsoka was the only thing that mattered to him at the moment… And he would find her.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I didn't expect this story to get so popular! Also, to address some things, this story doesn't follow the show much at all… For the guy who said I hope the Inquisitors don't die? They will, sorry, and this story will go on hold sooner or so… Also, Ahsoka won't die. Next chapter will show Khyr confronting Ahsoka and their first duel. Until Next, next Friday, Lighting Wolf out!
