Hey guys here is a new chapter, I was hoping to get it out by Friday but I had to be places. I tried describing ships in this chapter but I really suck at that much detail so I may need a beta to help me with ideas and such. I know its not as long as I would like but I wanted this to be out and I'll start making longer chapters later. Well hope you enjoy..by the way there are no battle scenes in this chapter but some good background information and a new look at extra pairing. Enjoy :)
Your life can change for the better or for the worse in an instant and Darth Thanatos was about to realize this as his speeder flew by the smoking window of one Padme Amidala. He could see her trying to move out of her door but it was blocked by falling debris.
He knew he should just let her die so his master's plan could come to fruition quicker but something about her made him pause outside of her window.
From his position he could see the only way that she would live was if someone came and got her through the window. Why should he even save her though? She would be an unneeded obstacle in his path.
He knew of her belief in democracy and while Thanatos did hold a deep hatred for quite a few people he wouldn't outright destroy the livelihoods of the common folk. However he knew that the only way to help the galaxy was to fight for it and make it an Empire.
His Empire! But even still a vision of Padme at his left side while Aayla stood at his right struck Thanatos and his confusion deepened.
Why would the Force want him to save this woman who would stand in his way until the very end?
Thanatos didn't have time to think more on it as he could see his window of saving her was quickly closing.
He knew his master would probably kill him if he knew what Thanatos was about to do.
Quickly bringing his speeder to hover outside of the Senator's window he then jumped through the window into the burning room and blurred forward and grabbed the Senator.
Something most unexpected happened.
A Force bond opened his mind to Padme's. But how could that happen she shouldn't be a Force sensitive!
But he felt it take hold in his mind and felt her panic yet acceptance of dying for her choices. She would never cower from her beliefs.
Deciding to ponder the strange occurrence later Thanatos moved back to the window and jumped to his speeder with the now unconscious Padme.
His speeder was barely able to hold both of them. It was built for maximum speed and maneuverability not passenger carrying capacity.
Balancing her on his lap he moved his speeder towards one of his hidden bases on the planet. One even his master did not know about.
He would have to think of what to do with the senator soon.
With Obi-Wan and Anakin
"Master I can't get through this door there is something blocking the way!" Anakin Skywalker exclaimed as he tried to open Padme's door.
"Back away Anakin I'm going to need you to rush in and grab her while I use Telekinesis to move some of the rubble. But you must hurry I don't know how stable it will be when I move it." Obi-wan explained as he began concentrating on the rubble in front of the Senators door.
He felt a slight darkness and confusion for but a moment as he concentrated on the rubble in front of the door but paid no mind to it.
Anakin was a wreck as he waited for his master to move the rubble. He would have done it himself but with the way his emotions were flying now he would make mistakes that could cost Padme her life.
That is one thing he would never do!
Had young Skywalker used his senses he would have felt that Padme was already gone.
The young Padawan rushed into the room with his saber already in his hand in-case the Sith had returned to finish their battle.
As the Padawan searched through the room he could not see the woman of his desires or even sense her and he thought the worst.
Rushing back to his master, who quickly dropped the rubble he had been levitating, the young Jedi exclaimed, "Master Padme is gone! I can't find her anywhere and I don't sense her anywhere near the building! What are we going to do?!"
Watching his Padawan closely Obi-wan noted the anger he could feel Anakin giving off and it was disconcerting to say the least.
If the 'Chosen One' could not control his anger he would always have his judgment clouded and may make the wrong decision when it came time for him to destroy the Sith.
"We must alert the Council to this dilemma and then we will search for Padme." Obi-wan answered his apprentice as they moved down the hall way and headed for the Jedi Temple.
"But master we should search for her now before any trail left behind goes cold! We can't just leave her! She could be half dead or worse!"
Anakin was panicking thinking maybe the Sith they had fought had come and kidnapped Padme.
He didn't know how close to the truth that he really was.
"Anakin calm yourself and think what Padme would want you to do. Do not let your feelings rule your better judgment my young Padawan." Obi-wan rebuffed.
He really should have tried a bit harder to get his Padawan to understand how the Order worked.
Obi-wan knew that his Padawan could become the most powerful Jedi in history if he only applied himself to his studies a bit more.
However he also knew that Anakin was for a better term a hot-head. The boy constantly ran head first into every dangerous situation without thinking of a plan.
And his obsession with Senator Amidala was very unhealthy. While the Senator did enjoy having the boy around Obi-wan could sense that she only cared for him as a friend.
If Anakin were ever to realize this he may go off the deep end so to speak and that just wouldn't do for the 'Chosen One', Obi-wan thought to himself.
Hide Out
One Padme Amidala was just becoming conscious in a very strange bed with a very thick and long rope draped over her and covering most of the bed.
The weird thing was that the rope was wrapped around her in anyway and it had a smooth and scaly feel to it.
She ran her fingers over it slightly causing it to move.
When the 'rope' moved Padme did the first thing she could think of, "AH!"
She immediately heard a deep hissing noise as the 'rope' turned out to not be a rope but instead a huge serpent.
Said serpent had black eyes and fanned ears. Its scales were a green blue and its infamous sharp tail was curled with the lower half of the great serpent.
All in all it was about six meters long and to the distraught Senator it looked hungry.
"Stop you're screaming, Andrax will not harm you unless I will him too." A dark and cold voice from behind her said.
As she turned around to look at her captor Padme suddenly had a strange vision like memory.
Flashback
"Please Uncle Vernon I didn't do it, Dudley and his friends are the ones who attacked the kids at the park."
A little black haired boy was pleading with his overweight 'Uncle' who was holding a long and thick belt in his hand as his face went from an impressive shade of red to puce.
"You little freakish bastard dare to accuse my brilliant boy Dudley of beating on those brats at the park I'll show you why your freakish kind should never have existed!"
With that the large man began beating on the boy hitting him where ever the belt could reach.
Blood welled up from the welts forming on the little boy and Padme could feel her heart breaking seeing such torture of a little boy.
This was why she believed so deeply in democracy to stop these injustices.
As the beating drew to a close Padme saw something that sent a shiver through her spine.
The boys eyes looked dead at her and she saw what little warmth left in them flee and a cold darkness replace it.
Flashback end
"Senator you shouldn't space out like that one would think that you would be more aware of your surroundings." Her tormentor said.
Padme could almost see the smirk forming on his hidden face.
The Anakkon now known as Andrax had slithered over to its master and was now winding up his body and resting his large head on the man's shoulder.
Padme took notice that the man was wearing all dark colors and he was tall around two and maybe a third meters tall. He wore a mask that greatly resembled a Mandalorian mask.
His body seemed to be more streamlined like Anakin.
Built for speed.
She noticed that he had two light sabers attached to his waist and the way he held himself she could tell he knew how to use them.
As Padme looked over him she remembered his voice and noticed that with only a slight edge to it and a bit of coldness it was exactly like the boy from her vision. Dream?
"Where am I and who are you?" She asked as she began to realize she was alone with her possible assassin.
"Calm down Senator, if I were going to kill you I would have left you to die in the fire. As for where you are you are in my home away from home. And I am Thanatos."
Thanatos wouldn't let her know he was a Sith until he knew what he would do with her.
He should kill her but the Force said otherwise.
Little did he know that she could feel his confusion and uncertainty?
He could see parts of her life flashing before his eyes, her first day of academy, her first friend, and her first kiss, which for some reason was starting to piss him off as he noted the feminine boy she shared her first kiss with.
"What kind of name is Thanatos? And why is there a mini Anakkon wrapped around you? They are viscous creatures and there is a reason that even the Wookies fear them." Padme questioned while slowly standing now that she knew she wasn't going to die yet.
"Andrax is my familiar, he is not a mini Anakkon, and I just used a trick I learned to make him more travel size. He can gets a very powerful venom out of the deal and if I so choose he can return to his true size. And what kind of a name is Padme?" Thanatos answered and questioned as he deflected from telling her his name meant death.
Padme noted his deflection, "I don't know the meaning of my name but I noticed that you didn't answer my question."
"I did not feel the need to answer your other question."
"Well then you are very terrible company and I would like to leave now." Padme countered.
Andrax raised his great head and hissed into his master's ear and to Padme's complete and utter shock Thanatos actually began to his in an intelligible manner.
What really freaked her out was the fact that the great serpent seemed to actually understand Thanatos!
As Padme had a slight meltdown Andrax and his master continued on in their own conversation.
"Master she will make a perfect fit for you along with that special Twi'lek you are after, I can smell it in the airrrr."
"Andrax I have no idea why the Force is telling me to be with this woman as well as with Aayla but there is no way for me to bring this woman to my side. She is too stubborn and strong willed." Thanatos answered as he noted the curves of the Senator through her sleeping clothes.
"Master you need strong willed women to keep you in line. You will soon be free of your 'Master' and his manipulations and you will need to continue on your line even if you become immortal like the Sith Emperor of Olddd."
"Andrax you know I plan to go to my home planet and conquer it and crush the ones who treated me like dirt under my heel. I already have a small unit of HK-55's and a test unit of trained Sith Knight clones already setting up on a hidden island on my home planet as a base of operations for when I do attack." Thanatos said.
He always planned to go back and destroy those who had left him with the Dursleys and bring their entire world around them.
His visions had been getting stronger each day and he had seen that within a few years he would be an Emperor and crushing many beneath his heel.
Now however he saw himself also being a grey Emperor. Not one that ruled through just power but also by being just.
And the reason for this change stood in front of him still trying to understand how a man could speak to a serpent.
"Senator Amidala you shall be my guest for an undetermined amount of time. I'm sure the Jedi will be looking for you but they won't find you here and my Master will kill you if he finds out that I have you and probably kill me for saving you. So for now I shall keep you hidden and alive safe from everyone. Andrax shall guard you whenever I am away." Thanatos stated as he thought of how to get Padme off the planet without anyone knowing.
"You can't keep me against my will and what do you mean Jedi? Aren't you a Jedi as only they carry those light sabers as weapons? And just who is this Master of yours?" Padme was beginning to lose her cool as this dark stranger just basically took away her freedom.
"I am not one of those hypocritical fools that can't wipe my own ass without falling to the 'Dark Side'. And Jedi's are not the only ones who can use light sabers anyone decently trained can use one and you do not need to know about my Master." Was her aggressive answer.
Padme was at a loss. She could see now that for each attempt she could use to get him to free her he would counter it with a decent argument all based around her survival.
"Now I will have fresh clothes for you and food and I will also have two droids attend you during your stay. You may communicate with Andrax as he can understand everything you say I you feel like talking with anyone while I'm away. There is also a small library."
With that Thanatos left the room.
Sometime Later
Thanatos could be found meditating while floating himself and a dense sphere that weighed into the tons with only his mind.
He enjoyed moments like these when he could do self-reflections and center himself. He felt the two Force bonds he had and noticed that both were starting to go deeper. Whereas the one with Aayla was dark the one that led to Padme was a shade lighter almost grey.
The two were also starting to come together. Thanatos did not know what would happen when they combined but he knew not to fear it.
As he meditated a small pull from where he use to have the 'leech' gave him a vision.
Vision
A dark shade flew across the night sky and howled into the winds. It had red gleaming eyes that held a malice that could never hope to compare with the likes of Sidious much less that of Thanatos but to anyone else that had never seen the two Sith the sight would have frozen their blood.
"Curse you Albus Dumbledore for your foolish interference! I should have destroyed your pathetic Order when I had the chance. Lord Voldemort shall have his revenge for I am the most powerful Sorcerer to have ever lived!"
"Without the Philosopher's Stone I'll need the Potter brat to resurrect my body but I don't know where to find him. Curses!"
Vision End
"So that pathetic sorcerer needs me to bring his body back, well he would never be able to stand up to my power. With all of the Sith Sorcery and magic that I learned from the ancient Vitiate as well as the memories of all of the magic that the 'leech' knew there is no one in the galaxy who could hope to rival me in knowledge of the arcane." Thanatos thought aloud.
He had of course learned from quite a few other cultures about ancient Sith magic like the Night Sisters of Iridonia. He always had a good relationship with the Night Mother.
Whereas Sidious treated the Sisters with disdain and acted as if he were above them when it came to arcane knowledge, Thanatos knew there were things they could do that even Sidious could never match.
Oh well when he destroyed his Master he would make sure that his Master would regret not learning more from the Night Sisters.
Thanatos' shielded communicator began beeping and he slowly sank to the ground with the dense sphere following closely behind.
"What is it HK are there any problems at the Forge?"
"Answer: Master the only thing wrong here is that I have no more meat bags to kill in your name. I only called to let you know that the first hundred ships are ready and being armed. Query: Master will I get to kill more meat bags soon? My transistors are getting rusty with boredom?" The blood thirsty assassin droid of Revan said as his image flickered over the communicator.
"Good HK and you will get to kill some meat bags soon, we will be heading to Geonosis to 'educate' Count Dooku in the ways of the Sith and you can kill just about anyone there that you want." With that Thanatos ended the transmission.
Thinking of his first hundred ships that were now ready for combat.
Thirty Capital Class Warships each equipped with cloaking and the latest hyper drives. While not built for speed they could definitely go any distance and last in any dog fight that they would be in. They could each house up to 2,000 men not including the crew members and droids. They would be armed with high powered lasers that could cut through duracrete with ease and thousands of rockets. (Think AOTC during the Geonosis battle with the clones in the ships)
Twenty Star Destroyers heavily armored and made for deep space combat and armed with lasers and tractor beams powerful enough to rip apart Capital Class ships. They would have shielding and cloaking as well as up to date hyper drives for maximum speed. Housing over a hundred thousand men and droids these would be his second line. Each Star Destroyer would have over three hundred fighters in TIE 3-V series.
This series was personally created by Thanatos to be self-sufficient for deep space travel, speed, and battle.
They were a sleek model yet had a separate attachment that also acted as a cloaking device and hyper drive in one. It was based off of the Jedi model but with more fire power and built for maximum damage.
There were ten Super Star Destroyers which would piggy back the Star Destroyers into battle and break any willful opponents with their immense size and power. They had the entire tech that was in the Star Destroyers but more powerful.
The last thirty five ships were Imperial Juggernauts. So named for their immense size and damn near indestructibility.
They would be his trump cards against the Republic and his Master.
Based off of a design left behind by Revan they could each house over 1,000,000 men and women as well as droids and crew and could combine their lasers with enough power to wipe out an entire star system.
Yes his plans were coming to fruition.
He would send two Super Star Destroyers, three Juggernauts, five Star Destroyers and 1000 fighters to his home star system and set up another base on the moon.
He would need them to take out the regular humans as he and an elite group took out the magicals.
He was bombarded with more visions of his success and would soon crush his enemies as all of their hopes and dreams crashed around them.
Jedi Temple at the Moment
"Senator Amidala find we must before a panic is made by the Senate." The wizened Yoda said as he and the council convened once again.
They had been deliberating for the past week while Obi-wan and Anakin searched Coruscant repeatedly for the missing Senator with no success.
The young Padawan was getting more frantic as the search dragged on but there was nothing they could do to ease his mind.
"Yes, we will have to send in a decoy and keep the Senate thinking that with the assassination attempts Amidala had to go into hiding." Master Mace Windu said as his chin rested on his steepled fingers.
"What about Master Kenobi and his Padawan? Should we send them to Kimono to check and see if the Bounty Hunter that was hired to kill the Senator is there or not?" Ki Adi Mundi asked.
"Yes, distracted the young Skywalker must be, his emotions consider to get the better of him. I feel that if the Chosen One is to destroy the Sith he must be focused." Yoda replied.
"Skywalker is letting his emotions get in the way, maybe it is as I feared and he is not the true Chosen One, surely the prophecy could be wrong." Mace said to himself.
"We must have faith that Anakin will destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force." Kit Fisto said.
"What of the assailant that Obi-wan and Anakin fought before the explosion? Do we have any idea about who he was or what he truly after?" Mace asked Yoda.
"Disturbing his combat style was, heavily trained he has been and I fear that only you or I could possibly defeat this foe Master Windu." Yoda answered as he remembered the recording the Council had watched of the fight.
The assailant was more than heavily trained. Yoda could see that whomever it was had held back greatly and made even him question whether or not he would be able to defeat that person in a saber duel.
And the person's ability with the Force was magnificent for someone so young. Yoda wished that he could have brought someone with such abilities into the Order.
Too bad the Sith had gotten to him first.
Darth Sidious's Office
Darth Sidious was currently going over his plans yet again to make sure everything went flawlessly but his visions of the future had been growing darker and cloudier with each passing day and it was infuriating!
So many years he had worked on this plan with his Master Plagueis and when it was close to fruition it began to slip away.
He had yet to contact and tell his true apprentice about this as he knew that his apprentice would see this as his chance to destroy him and become the Master of the Dark Side.
That could not be allowed until Sidious was powerful enough to take his apprentice's body for himself!
He knew he would be going against the Rule of Two but Sidious was ready to become immortal and no true Sith should follow the path of a known death. One should always make oneself stronger even through such trickery as this.
Even Darth Bane himself had tried this very tactic.
Sidious forgot that Bane had not really wanted immortality but rather to force his apprentice Darth Zannah to become powerful enough to fulfill his Rule of Two.
It was at this moment that Sidious had sealed his own destruction as he never noticed a small almost insignificant presence in his mind before it slowly crept beyond his senses.
"I must make sure that fool Dooku does my bidding just right so that I can move Thanatos in to destroy him and the Jedi, with Amidala dead Anakin will now turn more to the Dark Side and I can use him to weaken Thanatos so I can then take his body!"
Never would he know that his apprentice heard every word.
Unknown Hideout
"Soon I shall be the Master and with my Twi'lek and now Padme I shall rule this galaxy." Thanatos said darkly as his emerald eyes turned to an acidic Sith yellow.
Andrax wrapped himself around his Master basking in his Master's power.
The darkness around them increased.
So how about that new Naruto Manga with Hashirama being beyond God-Like. I was like daaa****** that was how he beat Madara lol anyway hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. There will be a timeskip next chapter to the end of AOTC so I can get to Revenge of the Sith.
