Star Wars - Rebirth
Episode 1: New Sith Order
Darth Pein sits silently at the back of the shuttle as the two pilots fly to Mustafar.
"So that the strongest Sith I've keeping hearing about.", the co-pilot said. "He's so young, so I find it hard to believe that. The only Sith I've known with unmatched power was the Emperor Vitiate."
"True, but this boy is unique.", the pilot said. "As in his boy are the Midi-Chlorians of many the past Siths."
"What?! You serious?!", the co-pilot exclaims in shock.
"Even back then they were only rumors.", the pilot said. "It was said that one of the Exiles; Judo Sworz was working on an ambitious project. A living host containing the midi-chlorians of powerful force-sensitives. However such a project was beyond his era of science and a lack of a suitable host, thus created a supercomputer to do the work for him. I'm surprised that the computer survived until Darth Pein's creation."
"So who was he before he became Darth Pein?"
"He doesn't talk much of the past, but I do know that he was a student of Luke Skywalker.", the pilot said.
"So does that mean that..."
"Yes, he possess the traits of each Sith from lightsaber skills to knowledge to force abilities.", the pilot said. "That why he's declared the strongest Sith. Some would say that he's in the same status as Kylo Ren and Rey; a representation of a side of the Force. In his case the Dark side."
"So where are the others?"
"Simple... Living among the unsuspecting masses."
Kuat Drive Yards...
"The First Order is not accustomed to being ignored, Fri Valko. They funded your research because you promised them weapons.", A First Order officer said walking along side with two others and Fri Valko.
"That may be so, but I no longer see the point as all threats have been neutralized.", Valko said as they walk past two guards wearing armor somewhat superior to the Stormtroopers.
"That's not the only issue. We're already aware of your little secret. You've been secretly transporting supplies and ships to some unknown area of space nowhere near First Order territory.", the officer states. "Not to mention the pirates raids on our supplyline where they disappears in that region before we could retaliate."
Valko stops and turn to the three officers.
"Well then in that case consider this my resignation.", Valko said pulling out a disruptor pistol and disintegrate one of officers. The other two grab their blaster, but Valko uses the Force to disarm them before disintegrating them as well. He then notice the blaster short-circuiting.
"Still needs work.", Valko said tossing it into a garbage chute and heads off to his office with his guards. They take all they can gather, while Valko hacks into the main computer to steal some files. "All hail the Sith!"
"Darth Michanikos the Nemesis-Class Star Dreadnought and two Resurgent-Class are ares for the taking and prepared for departure.", the trooper reports.
"Pity we couldn't take the only Supremacy, but then again it doesn't matter.", Michanikos said. "I'd find it to be too big of a target and a waste of credits and time."
"Yeah, they just want to make big things and blow planets up!"
"Now, where's the fun in that?", Michanikos said. "I'd prefer fighting in the frontlines. Anyway let's not keep Pein waiting."
Unknown planet...
A cloaked man walks pass a row of carbonite slabs holding captured Jedi with two troopers behind him.
"This is quiet the collection, Darth Diatiro.", the trooper said looking at a carbonite jedi youngling. "I'm surprised that Sidious allowed you to keep them as your collection."
"He doesn't mind, so long they're not Jedi Masters.", Diatiro said. "I'd say I have at least twenty or so for my collection along with the body samples of all the other Jedis and other famous or powerful force-users or non-force users."
One of the troopers stop at a man chained up to the wall.
"Who's this one?"
"Oh, this one became a Jedi during the age of the Empire.", Diatiro said. "Darth Sidious wanted him for something, but failed miserably. When I told him of my discovery, he ordered me to take care him as he was off to the second Death Star. My guess is that he wants to do the torturing personally."
"You seem to be studying alot about the Force.", the trooper said staring at scattered holocrons, scrolls, books and holopictures of stone murals and a large stone mural itself. "All about the light-side, dark-side, even the theories and abilities from other organization or cult."
"Yes, and this stone mural is from Jedha. This particular mural bares the images of the Ones, yet what bothers me is this particular female among them. There is no record of her, so I'm trying to do some research on this particular person."
Just then his holocom activates and a trooper appears in it.
"You are needed in Mustafar."
"I'm on my way.", Diatiro said as he and his guards leave.
Geonosis...
A Maxima-A Class Heavy Cruiser orbits around the planet.
"What are we doing here, Riina Ren?!", Alrec Ren asks. "This planet has no value."
"You forget that this planet is where the Geonosians build a majority of the Separatist war machines.", Riina Ren said. "The master will be needing these factories."
"Why would Snoke need useless droid?", Alrec asks before noticing that Riina is point her lightsaber to his face.
"Who said anything about Snoke?", Riina asks before igniting the saber and shutting it off moments before Alrec hits the ground. "Oh, and it's Darth Riina now."
Several stormtroopers aim their blasters at Riina, but some start firing on one another as nearly half of the crew inside the ship are Sith infiltrators.
"Land the ship on the planet surface and see if you can get these factories running.", Riina orders. "I'm needed on Mustafar."
Coruscant...
A red Twi'lek with black tattoos all over her body changes out of her metal bikini to her black yet still skimpy outfit.
"Thank you Senator for a good time and your wealth.", the Twi'lek said before tossing his body out of the window and leaving a forged suicide note. A holocom activates.
"Darth Talon, you're needed on Mustafar.", a female said.
"So we're finally on the move.", Talon said as she looks at the Jedi Temple. "I'm on my way Sariss."
Mustafar...
"It's been a long time since we've last gathered like this.", Diatiro said entering Vader's chamber. "The last time we've gathered was when this New Order was founded."
"Where are the others? I can only see seven of us.", Riina said.
"I'm afraid other members are too busy is their public persona.", Pein answers entering the room along with the rest. "Do not forget that we can't show up all are cards yet."
"So leader are the stories true. Is Snoke and Luke Skywalker dead?", Michanikos asks.
"Yes all that are left are Kylo Ren and his Knights and that Jedi Rey.", Pein answers.
"That's it? Just some unstable boy and his weak knights and some girl who just became a Jedi?", Michanikos exclaims. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen."
"Don't forget that we have to deal with First Order. They still have a sizable force.", Sariss said. "Not to mention the Resistance. I've just heard of their success in Ikkrukk and that the planet have joined the Resistance."
"So do we just simply continue on?", Talon asks.
"No, the Grand Master have given us a mission to go along with what we're doing now.", Pein said. "We're to hunt down and destroy every single Force-Sensitive organizations all over the galaxy. We can't take risks of them getting involved even if the chance in unlikely, but you may recruit members that want to join our cause."
"What about the Jedi?", Talon asks. "What are the chances of them coming back? On Coruscant I've seen the people rebuilt the Jedi Temple back to it's former glory in hopes that it'll bring them back."
"A forgive and forget tactic? Just how stupid do those people think?", Pein said. "Do they really think the the Jedi will ever forget any of this? The wars, the betrayal and everything else?"
"You make it sound like the Jedi finally had enough.", Talon said.
"But of course. Time and again, the galaxy - which the Jedi served - turned against them.", Pein said. "This is what cause the Grand Master to become what he is now. He has finally seen the truth of the galaxy and I think it's time we break them even further."
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"By destroying the Jedi Temple the people will lose hope that the Jedi will return and by destroying Coruscant itself there will be no returning central government. The galaxy will fall into an age of chaos and then they'll have no choice but to turn to us."
"By my calculation about 90% of the galactic population will perish before they turn to us.", Michanikos calculates through his datapad.
"Then let Project: Saver commence! The plan created by the first Sith, Bogan.", Pein said when he suddenly receives a call. After hearing the call Pein turns to the others. "It appears that something interesting has come up. Put the project on hold and find anything on this boy and why our spy network knows nothing about him."
Pein shows them the hologram of Ben Skywalker, when a trooper enters the room.
"Forgive the intrusion, but we have a First Order Resurgent-Class ship in our orbit."
"I'll handle it myself.", Pein said leaving the room leaving the other Sith shock.
"I've heard rumors about the ranks, but never have I seen him use his powers.", Talon said.
"Then this is a perfect opportunity to bear witness his power.", Michanikos said as he and others follow Pein.
Pein looks up the sky and sees a Resurgent-Class in orbit. He raise both his hands and use the force to freeze it in place. His hands starts moving in a motion of tearing something apart, which is what is happening to the Star Destroyer. Through the Force the Sith can hear the dying screams of the First Order men as they are being sucked into the vacuum of space.
"Music to my ears.", Diatiro laughs.
"I'll have the ships scavenge the remains.", Michanikos said. "We can't be wasteful are all."
Pein briefly stares at the stars before looking back at the holocron of Ben Skywalker. 'Who is this boy?'
