Chapter 3: Secret Base, and the Jedi Elrond

(A/N: I am so sorry guys! I've had this chapter and chapter two done for a few months now I was planning to remove a single scene in chapter two, and I forgot to do that until this week, I am so, so, sorry for that, Chapter 4 will be my next priority, I promise, anyhow, removing that scene made the overall pages from 69 pages to 66 I believe, enjoy!)

Sauron's Secret Base, weeks later:

(Gash's Point of View)

I'd awaken inside Sauron's base, after a long day, tiredly, I had maybe an hour of sleep, busy thinking of my mistake in giving up Bastila, I regretted it every moment, it tore into my soul, feeling her pain as my own, as Malak tortured my sweet Jedi Princess, but then this was nothing new for more, at all, I was used to regret, and depression, as it tore and ate into my soul, either being my own men, of the Republic 7th Assault Fleet, or my Ground Assault force, the Republic 71st Infantry and Armor division. Every Soldier I lost, I made a personal trip to their parents, to give my respects to the helluva soldiers who followed me to their death.

(Sauron's Point of View)

I had just woken up, and thought of my ring...it was everything I cared for (Outside of my little band of merry misfits.) "My...Precious..." I wanted it, but the new self of me, (the Mortal part) liked being an equal to the people. (And among other things I found I liked.) I gently tapped at my growing stubble, thinking on the choices I had, very, very carefully.

On one hand, I could become immortal, and never fear Death again, but if I did so, I could not allow any at my side, for they would die well before I did...

And on the other hand, I stayed mortal, and lived my single life carefully...both had perks, but I figured, if I must I would use my Ring.

"Master...oh you're awake." Robina said, entering my room in the 'Secret Base'

"Yes, what is it?" I asked.

"Gash is awake we can finally begin our assault on the Star Forge." Robina said.

"Is there anything else to report?" I merely asked, planning the assault on the Star Forge in my head.

"I need to tell you something Master..." Robina started, and I looked at her.

"Alright then, let me get comfortable." I said, sitting comfortably.

"My Father is Cid Rod, the Sith Lord of Betrayal." She started, and I nodded. "Is one of the 'True-Sith' or so I can figure he's at least part True-Sith."

"However, unlike most True-Sith, he looks entirely of any 'human' race, he told me before he went into the depths of the Outer-Rim. And was lost...for the last two-hundred years..." She said.

I snapped to attention, eyes widening, "You're over two hundred?" I laughed. "Never would have guessed...how do you remain so young?"

"I've been told my Mother, Cid's Jedi Lover, was an Elf." She explained. "And I haven't had an expert such as you around to confirm or deny it."

"Well...I rarely dealt with them, but I'd say it's likely-" I started, then saw the (almost) skin-colored ring on her hand. "How long you had that?"

"About...200 years... I think." She replied.

"That ring...is one of the elven-made rings, one of the three rings of the Elves." I said she seemed unimpressed by my comment.

"Well...that explains a little." She said.

"Anyhow, let us go and check on Gash." I said, getting up.

Gash's room, Hour Later:

"So...Admiral, it's time we plan the Assault on the Star Forge...We'll need ten thousand men just to be lucky..." I started.

"If we strike now, Malak will not win..." someone pointed out.

"If we strike now, the Republic can win." I said, somewhat distastefully... "We are going to Tatooine first...and I will need a Republic Admiral at my side...we are outnumbered, we need some courage, something rare in the Republic Fleet."

"Sauron...do you feel that, a shift in the Balance, the Jedi have enough power to challenge you..." Gash said.

"Théoden...Aragorn...Elrond...They are mastering their abilities...I had hoped to have been more prepared before Aragorn and Théoden returned..." I sighed.

"I stand with you Sauron, no matter what. We are Brothers-in-arms..." Gash said.

"Now...let us go to Tatooine..." I said, before collapsing.

Dantooine, 2 Weeks before Sauron Returned:

(Elrond's Point of View)

"...Sauron will be free, we have maybe a week before he will plan to conquer the Galaxy." I said, I had the normal (brown robe, white-tannish inside) Jedi robes on, and my hair was exactly as it was centuries back, when Middle-Earth was free of Sauron.

They ignored my prophecy "He cannot, all of the Jedi Councils aided us in wiping his mind." pointed out Vrook. "Who says Lucas Vaan Antilles, won't just take over him?"

"He will not be beaten, by a broken mind, Vrook." I replied.

"We should plan, incase Lucas fails..." Vandar said.

"We risk a lot to do this, but Sauron must help us find out where Malak is getting his forces, and we will need someone to...ransom him into helping us should he return to the Dark Side." Master Dorak said.

"With Revan...Rosaline...gone we must use Sauron, if we do not, who knows what evils Rose might unleash..." Master Zhar said, remembering his old Padawan-turned-Sith who had disappeared one morning, into the Outer-Rim... "The Entirety of Malak's Sith Battle Fleet looks to outnumber the Republic by now..."

"Have Robina accompany Sauron, we will." Vandar said.

"Should he fall, her Jedi-instincts will be able to save him..." Vrook said, although he personally didn't believe a word of it.

"We have this on an edge of a knife, stray but a little and the Jedi will fail." I said. "I will trust in your wisdom though, what of Aragorn, and Théoden King?"

"They will be trained as Jedi, to fight Sauron should he return... they will be trained on Middle-Earth." Zhar explained.

"I will inform the Istari, Good day, Masters." I said bowing, and leaving the room.

"Um... Master Elrond?" My Padawan, Luke Grey asked.

"Yes, Luke?" I asked.

"We...have a major, major problem..." He said.

"What is it?"

"Juhani has fallen to the Dark Side...along with five other Jedi Knights..." Luke said.

"Well..." I started, and thought to myself. 'Shit...we need everyone we can get...hopefully I can save Juhani...' "We're going to where Juhani is most likely at now, Luke."

"Ok, Master." He said, following me.

Tainted Grove, minutes later:

"Elrond..." Juhani said.

"Don't do this Juhani..." I warned her, my Elven-made Lightsaber almost ready, just needs to be activated.

"I will be your doom!" Juhani shouted her red lightsaber out.

"Very well..." I said, my own lightsaber was just like an Elven-blade, (Elven-Blades are a sword with a Scimitar blade, not thick. usually about a normal sized longsword. For those who didn't know) except it was a lightsaber after all, it had a yellow color, but it would change to a white color every few seconds.

"Master...she's frozen me..." Luke said.

I sighed, and easily sliced her saber out of her hands, and set my blade at her neck. "Surrender..."

"You are still stronger than me, how?" She asked.

"I am over 200 thousand years old I have had centuries to practice sword-craft." I said.

"You...are ancient." Juhani said. "And I am unworthy to waste your time...end it...please…"

All I had said to her was. "No."

"I see, I will return to the Jedi." Juhani said.

"Well, we did a good deed Luke...so want to go with me to Middle-Earth?"

"Well...sure...I've always wanted to see it myself." Luke said finally free from the 'stasis' force ability.

Sauron's Base, (Present time) week later:

(Sauron Point of View)

I awoke in my room, I felt...sickly, as though I had been sick since I had fallen asleep. I groaned "Apprentice?"

"Good morning Master." Robina said, snapping a Gizka's neck.

"What's with the Gizka?" I asked.

"Another gift from Czerka." she said.

"Great...a frog-like, high reproductive rate, rabbit." I sighed, and got up.

"We are ready to go to Tatooine." Robina said.

"And how is my little apprentice? I care more for her, than I do for my own schemes of conquest." I asked.

"A little unfulfilled I will admit." She said.

"Well...we can't have that..." I said, and sat down on my bed, as I was in my own room.

"I suppose we can't." Robina agreed.

Sauron's Base, Morning:

"Wake up, love." I said, prodding her, as usual she was laying on me, not next to, or under (though I could show her how it feels sometime.)

"Yes, master." she replied, rolling off.

"Well, that was shocking." I mumbled.

"We will have more time after we rule the Galaxy." Robina stated.

"Fair enough, now let us get ready." I said, suiting up in my newer Armor, it was a mix of Mandalorian Armor, Dark Jedi Robes, and some Sith Trooper armor. (With it was a Heavily Customized Mandalorian Helmet, with spikes on it, which I demanded it have spikes.)

Middle-Earth, week after Sauron "seduced" Robina:

(Elrond Point of View)

"Not easily can we win, even if we were ten thousand strong...no...No train harder, Aragorn and you as well Théoden!" I yelled.

"Yes, Master." Aragorn said.

"So much death will come, is it right of us to step into this fight?" Théoden asked.

"If we don't fight, we will lose everything, Middle-Earth will be no match against Sauron's army of Darkness." I said. "We must prepare ourselves...if the Sith Empire can be defeated we have a hope of victory."

"Master Elrond!" Luke yelled.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Gothmog...has returned..." he said.

"Can you feel it? The Force is shifting to the Dark side." I said.

"Sauron has corrupted Robina...The Republic is doomed..." Luke said.

"Get to the Ents; tell them, Elrond of Rivendell summons him to Rivendell in five weeks' time... Aragorn follow him, your past will help him find old Fangorn." I said.

"Yes, Master." They said in unison.

End of Chapter 3

(A/N: If anyone's curious as to what the scene was, let's just say it would've been way too quick in the FF, I was an idiot to think it'd work early anyhow, but it was the Lleviathan scene, late-KOTOR 1. I don't know where I honestly thought it'd been useful to have that early in the FF, but that was the scene)
