The door opened slowly cracking as if the tomb hadn't been touching in centuries. Surely there was the civil war on this planet that must've disturbed something, but nothing did. Two figures stepped into the tomb, both were Jedi Knights. One stepped ahead, she was a blue twi'lek while the other was a human male. The twi'lek continued on as the tomb lit up due to the torches lighting themselves. "This is a Sith Tomb definitely." The male spoke up.
"But who's tomb is the question." She replied calmly as they continued on.
A few minutes of walking down stairs, they reached a sign and the male translated, "Those who enter, beware as the World Destroyer is here." He looked at the twi'lek, "Do you know who they're talking about?"
"It's not Emperor Vitiate that's for sure." She replied as she was amazed by the tomb. Finally they continued until the pair reached the tomb. Both looked at each other and nodded, and both lifted their palms emitting the Force allowing them to open the tomb. Both were shocked when they didn't see a skeleton, but a slab of frozen carbonite. "Call for the troopers and bring a shuttle." She spoke while looking at the slab.
The male nodded and ran off to the surface to contact their troopers. The twi'lek looked at the slab, "Who are you my friend."
Twenty minutes later, the Jedi and their troopers were flying back to base. The twi'lek looked at the leader of the troops, "Commander Bly, inform the base of our discovery."
"Yes, General." The Clone responded as he contacted their outpost. The other Jedi looked at the slab and said nothing. The twi'lek looked out at the terrain and back at the troopers. "General, the base has cleared off a pad. Two member of the Council will arrive as well to see our mystery man." The Clone spoke up again looking at the General.
"Thank you Bly." The Twi'lek nodded to him and looked out as the base was in sight. She grinned as the shuttle began to land on the pad. After touching down, four of the six troopers got off and began heading to the barracks. The other two began to follow the Jedi Knights to the medical lab escorting the slab.
A medical droid began examining the carbonite slab and looked up at the twi'lek, "He is still alive. Beginning thawing process now." The news shocked the twi'lek, and the droid began to thaw out the mysterious person. The twi'lek saw as the mysterious figure was in an ancient Sith armor as he thawed out and began to fall forward. She rushed from her chair and grabbed him before he could hit the ground. She lifted him up as the droid assisted her in lowering the Sith to a bed.
"How are you still alive..." She muttered to herself. The Sith's head turned towards her and she felt her breath get colder. She took a step back as she felt the room grow darker. The male Jedi came back into the room and was about to say something until he saw the Sith.
"How is he still alive." He spoke as he lowered his hand towards his lightsaber. The Sith attempted to sit up as he kept his gaze on the twi'lek. The male looked at his companion, "Aayla, I'd back up."
Aayla Secura looked at her friend then back at the Sith. Something seemed familiar with him. The Sith looked at her, "Ce'na."
"Did you hear that? Is that the Sith language?"
She rolled her eyes and looked at her friend, "No, it has to be a name."
The Sith looked at her again, sitting up straighter, "Ce'na?"
Aayla looked at the Sith and then back at her friend. Both were astonished that there was a Sith in front of them who's survived at least three thousand years. She looked back at the Sith who took off his mask. He blinked rapidly in order to adjust to the new environment. He looked back up at her, "Ce'na?" He repeated one final time. She didn't know what to say. One of the troopers that escorted them stepped in the room.
"General, the Council members will be here in two minutes."
She turned and looked at him, "Understood thank you Bly."
The trooper nodded, and was about to leave before he eyed the Sith who had gotten up silently, "General, behind you!" He shouted in alarm as he raised his weapon. Aayla turned around as the Sith grabbed her and kissed her. She was in shock and tried pushing away. The other Jedi ignited his lightsaber as Bly and the other trooper moved into the room.
"Back away from her!" The male Jedi shouted.
The Sith stopped kissing her and pushed back. Aayla quickly backed up more. She looked at the Sith and saw the look in his eyes. It wasn't hatred like normal Sith as he eyed her friend. "Dedric, don't agitate him."
"We shouldn't have thawed him out." Dedric looked at Aayla.
"You shouldn't have pulled out your lightsaber, troopers stand down." She raised her voice at Dedric. "For all we know, this is one and a life time opportunity we have here to win this war."
Dedric, stepped out of the room with the troopers and shut the door. Aayla looked at the Sith who laid back in his bed. She slowly walked over to him and sat down next to him, "Sorry about that."
"You aren't Ce'na?" The Sith looked up at her.
"No. I'm not Ce'na. I am Jedi Knight Aayla Secura." She responded to him, he had been asleep for thousands of years and she doubted he would attack her.
"Where is she. Where is Ce'na." He demanded.
"Who is Ce'na, Sith?" She asked curiously.
"She is my-my wife." He stuttered and clenched his fists.
"What's her full name?" She leaned in a little closer.
"My wife... dear Vette... she betrayed me. My dear Vette.." He began to slowly rock himself back and forth as if he was reliving the past. Aayla was about to ask more when she heard a knock on the door. She spoke up, "Come in."
In walked Master Yoda and Master Plo-Koon, and both stopped before Aayla. Both sat down in chairs next to the bed. "Sith. We ar-"
"You are apart of the Jedi Council." The Sith seemingly to collect himself really quickly. "You are here to question me because I am a Sith Lord."
"Correct you are." Yoda calmly stated, "Join the Sith again, we cannot let you."
"But isn't the war still going on?" The Sith asked looking at Aayla who looked down at her legs.
"What war." Plo-Koon asked.
"The one between the Sith Empire and the Republic." The Sith admitted.
Yoda and Plo-Koon looked at each other. Yoda looked back at the Sith, "Long ago, that war ended."
The Sith looked at Plo-Koon to confirm Yoda's statement. Plo-Koon nodded and looked at the Sith, "That war ended almost three thousand years ago. The Empire was winning, but a new Empire arrived and conquered both. That Empire was abruptly stopped when the entire ruling family was killed in a Force Anomaly caused by a Sith who was then dubbed the World Destroyer. The only thing that lasted was the Republic from the fallout."
Aayla's eyes widened, "That was on your tomb."
Plo-Koon and Yoda both shot their gazes over to the Sith. The Sith looked at the three and looked up and breathed deeply to calm himself, "I remember that day, and how everything unraveled. My crew and I were alerted by a Darth of the council, Darth Marr. After a duel with Emperor Vitiate or Valkorion's son, we were all taken prisoner. My wife and I were in love with each other and nothing could seperate us until his son Arcann began seducing her. Soon my crew was separated. I never saw the males in our crew, but I saw my apprentice seduced too. The sons of my former Emperor, who I impaled, seduce my family. Their sister constantly tried to seduce me, but I feel she used the rest of my crew which is why I never saw them. I saw Jaesa and Ce'na broken, nothing but sex slaves to their new masters. I was mentally shattered, I had my former Emperor live in my mind so I accepted his help. I became the most powerful being as I destroyed everything and everyone in that room. All my love turned to anger as she betrayed me."
"Do you mind telling us who you are?" Plo-Koon asked curiously.
"I am or formerly Darth Asthidal Tythorns, the Emperor's Wrath. My former master who taught me everything was indeed Darth Baras who I murdered in front of the Dark Council. Everyone taught me to hate or be angry with the world and seek power. I was what few were called a Light Sith. I believed in both the Light and Dark side."
"Revenge do you seek?" Yoda spoke after closing his eyes for a moment to listen.
"I already took my revenge by ripping her new lover to shreds along with his family, and when I caused that explosion I don't think anyone cared about them." Asthidal looked up at the ceiling then back down at the Jedi.
"What about your Force Powers you spoke of." Plo-Koon prodded Asthidal for more information.
Asthidal flicked a finger as if flicking something off his thumb, and a chair was brought up to one of the troopers who were guarding the door. "I haven't had a reason to use them yet, and it's only when I fall into a deep rage like Ce'na caused."
"Come with us, you will." Yoda pointed his stick at Asthidal.
"I have no choice either way." Asthidal smirked and grabbed his mask and began to put it on.
"No reason you have to hide. Seen your face we have." Yoda stood up as Plo-Koon and Aayla soon followed. The three left the room and closed the door in order to have a conversation.
"Do we trust him?" Plo-Koon spoke up.
"Unknown his allegiance is." Yoda looked down, "Be trusted, can he?"
Aayla spoke up, "I say we can. I'll watch over him."
"That's taking a large risk Aayla, but do you think you can watch over him?"
"Yes Master."
"Decided it is. Watch over Asthidal, you will." Yoda and Plo-Koon walked away as Aayla opened the door with her head down. Asthidal looked up at her.
"Something's wrong Ce-Aayla. Sorry you just look like my wife." Asthidal quickly looked away. Aayla grinned, and sat down on a chair next to him.
"The council has told me to watch over you. You are a Sith after all. We don't want you joining the Confederacy." Aayla stared at Asthidal and grinned.
"What is this Confederacy anyways, do Sith rule it?" Asthidal pulled himself up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed.
"The Sith rule it yes, it's a confederacy of star systems that have seceded from the Republic. They claim the Republic is un-just. We saw their resolve."
Asthidal stood up and looked at Aayla, "What was their resolve?"
Aayla rose and turned around. She closed her eyes, taking a breath. "You told a story, I'll tell one as well." She spun around and stared at Asthidal in the eyes not even blinking or flinching. "We were on the planet Geonosis. Two Jedi and a senator were captured. Master Windu created a task force of Jedi to rescue them. After a good-oh I'd say twenty minute fight, we were surrounded from all sides by battle droids. We would've been killed had it not been for the Clones."
"The Clones?" Asthidal echoed.
"Oh, the troopers you see; they're all clones. All bred to be excellent combat soldiers, they follow every order of mine. Our entire army is from one template." She sighed and looked down, "I just wish this war ended already so we can get back to maintaining peace rather than destroy worlds."
He saw that this was a difficult subject for her. "So, when are we leaving?"
She looked up, "What do you mean? Aren't you exhausted?"
"I've been asleep for thousands of years. I wanna see how different this galaxy is." He smirked and grabbed his mask and placed it on. He coughed and took a few steps forward. Aayla opened the door and stepped outside. Bly and the other clone snapped to attention and waited. Asthidal walked out next observing everything around him. The clones followed Asthidal and began to escort him as Aayla strolled outside. She turned around towards Asthidal, "Where do you want to go?"
"The nearest civilization."
Hey guys, Austin here. I just wanted to answer a few questions or disturbances that you may have.
Why are you not uploading regularly? I try whenever I'm in a mood to write some more. Plus, it's my last summer before I shape up my life and join the Military, I'm enjoying it. This is my first story I'm attempting to follow through with. I have a good positive stance on this, and I'm going at it.
Why are you rushing as this isn't NASCAR, you don't have anywhere to go, no more left turns there Dale. Well, I've been arguing with this myself for awhile now. I didn't want to go through all the process of the SWTOR expansion bullshit as how are you going to convey a story that takes place over the course of over three thousand years? I cut some corners, did a little re-writes here and there and that's why there's a giant gap between the freezing date and discovery. Aayla's backstory is some what explained later, and I didn't want to dive into raising an infant to join the Jedi and go from Padawan to Master with al the other details that follow. That'd be an extra twenty to forty chapters and at this moment I'm not willing to pretty much create another story. So that's why we end up from three thousands years ago to the Clone Wars Era.
NOTE: This is my first story I'm seriously trying my hardest on. Work with the terrible grammatical structures and dialogue if you can please.
