Chapter 7. Secrets of the Sith

After leaving the med center for the last time Darth Oblivion spent the first few days doing nothing. He thought of the vison that he had while he was at death's doorstep a lot. He was in his room when Amber came in, "Forgive me milord…But I had a strange dream and it lead me to a secret room in the mausoleum and I found these…" It was the Sith holocrons of Darth Bane, Darth Zannah, Darth Cognus, and Darth Anddedu.

Oblivion immediately takes the holocrons back to the archives where they belong. He is holding Banes holocron and sits down deciding to activate it. "Greetings apprentice what do you wish to learn today…"

"I am Lord of the Sith now…and I wish to know more about the rule of two…"

The hologram looked at Oblivion for a few minutes, "Forgive me young Master…The rule of two states that at any given time there should be no more than two Sith at a time…A master…One who embodies the power of the Dark Side and all that goes along with that title…And then the apprentice who seeks to surpass his master and one day challenge him or her for the throne of the Sith…This way the Sith will always be strong and powerful…The strong are meant to rule the weak…

To some this may seem foolish but it is not…The Jedi believe we are extinct this is not so as we operate in the shadows manipulating politics of the Republic to bring it to its knees and destroy our enemies the Jedi…"

Oblivion listened for hours to Bane's Holocron then for the next few days he practiced several techniques including how to cleanse himself of poisons. He would have the droids place poison in his food. Then he would try to use the force to cleanse the poison. A medical droid stood by with the antidote just in case. Many times he was successful, but there were a few instances the med droid had to intervene. One particular incident he spent a week in the medical bay.

Once he mastered poison cleansing Oblivion decided to try Sith Sorcery. He had to go through Darth Zannah's holocron for that piece of information as Darth Zannah had been an expert on the subject. He labored many days before attempting his first spell. Oblivion used it on a group of slaves he bought from the Hutts. With each new spell he mastered his power grew along with his knowledge of the Dark Side.

Darth Oblivion practiced saber techniques as well fighting 6 and 8 saber droids at a time on Sith Lord level. He became a living weapon of the Dark Side. Oblivion was untouchable when it came to lightsaber combat. His techniques went beyond the normal restraints of the seven forms for he had transcended them all.

Oblivion sat for hours trying to master the future through foresight. He would meditate for hours observing all the possible futures that may be, what could be, and what will be if he remained on the path set down by Darth Bane. "It is a lonely rode!" He said ending his meditation. Oblivion became melancholy as he realized that with all his power he would never be able to test his vast strength and power against a Jedi Master. Or unleash his power on millions, he would have to remain in the shadows hidden from the galaxy.

As time passed the shadow empire fell into ruins under the rule Darth Oblivion who stopped caring. The seeds planeted by Darth Bane, Darth Zannah, Darth Cognus, and even Darth Severuss started to wither and die. Without his guidance the Sith agents and spies lost much. A powerful Senator was arrested by the Jedi. A Senator who could have become Supreme Chancellor. Czerka corporation was lost as well to a rich nobleman. The underground workers union fell apart as well. Darth Oblivion remained on Lohan refusing to see his agents or offer leadership.
