Darth Jeviso.

Chapter XI.

Temple of Eternal battle, Darth Jeviso.

Naruto looked over the pyramidal temple. He didn't know what would expect him inside, but he prepared for the worst. So he walked inside, into the dark deeps of the Temple. And Darkness covered him completely.

He didn't know how long he was walking, but he surely walked far more than this room looked from the outside.

Finally darkness became filled with light. Light from lightsabers.

Naruto looked from a cliff in large dark cave how different Jedi from all the times, legendary and not, padawans and knights. In the center of that cave was a large stone stairway, with a flying crystal on the top.

Hiding in shadows, Naruto walked through battlefield. He saw many famed Jedi. The now-deceased Qui-Gon, Dooku, Yoda, somewhere he saw Bastila and Satele and near pyramid against several nameless Jedi Knights fought Mace Windu.

It was really interesting. From shadows Naruto looked, how Windu fought. It looked like the Force gave him chance to learn the famous Waapad. Slowly walking through the lines of fighting Jedi Naruto walked up the stairs, to the famed crystal.

On one of the squares he faced Windu. His face turned into grimace of primal rage and battle lust, was very different from the calm façade he usually had.

Consumed by Darkness and rage he faintly sensed Naruto, who used the techniques of the Dark Side to hide himself. He knew that he had absolutely no chance to escape the battle, so he activated his lightsaber and prepared to meet Master Windu.

Rage. On this emotion was built Waapad. But now filled with rage, Windu was much more… vulnerable. His style was full of holes, rage made him predictable and sloppy. Naruto easily cut his arm and killed him with lightning.

Naruto was even disappointed in this fight, of course he managed to get the basic knowledge of Waapad from Windu's head, but still… it was unsatisfying. He continued to walk while behind battle between Jedi continued. However, when he got to the top, he found that he wasn't alone there. Young padawan with blonde hair stood before crystal. Jeviso could see only his back. And his arm stretched to his arm to the crystal.

Jeviso raised his hand pushed him from the crystal. Then he stopped. Before him was himself. Nearly a child this young Naruto was bathed in the light of Light Side. He stopped for a minute and this was enough for a young padawan to jump to the crystal.

Jeviso empowered himself with power of the Dark Side and they reached the crystal at the same time. When they touched it bright light covered everything. Then Naruto saw darkness. And then there was sensation of the fall

Unknown location. With Darth Jeviso.

Jeviso rose to his legs judging by his surroundings, namely an asphalt road he was somewhere where was civilization. He summoned his power and Force eagerly answered. Naruto felt how his power rose greatly. When he touched the crystal he absorbed the part of its power. He also could feel the location of the padawan and the crystal.

He put his hood upon his head and walked in the direction, showed him by the Force. He walked for several hours near the road but still haven't found anyone. Sometime later he found the bodies. All male, all human, all looked like they died from some kind of disease or chemical attack.

Naruto was curious about that if it was something in the air or something far worse. And it was very unclear if all the victims were male was it his respirator mask, Force or high-speed regeneration that protected him, from sharing their fate.

He continued his path and found a machine. Unlike those he got used to it wasn't on anti-grav, which meant that level of technical progress was rather low. He also found a newspaper inside the machine. He tried to read it but the letters meant nothing to him. Car was damaged, so Jeviso left it where it was.

He continued to walk, casualties only grew, all male of different ages. Whatever it was it was something terrible. After several hours of walk he got to the small town. Situation was worse than he thought. Town was filled with weeping females. They mourned the loss of their loved ones.

Naruto was glad that he used the power of the Dark Side to hide his presence.

Right now he needed to find somebody, to drain the knowledge of the language, from. He found a drunken woman in the park and used her mind.

With information he received alongside the language, Jeviso understood that he got to very interesting and strange place. In this world, dimension, he didn't know how far the fucking crystal had sent them; order was upheld by powerful warriors, who locals called "superheroes", Jeviso was really shocked. His Sith mindset couldn't just take the fact that those heroes being as powerful as everyone told didn't put an end to the bunch of people, who common folk called "supervillians".

Judging by the information he got, one of those superhumans, who locals also called "metas", destroyed the male part of the Earth's populace, because of some kind of psychological trauma, which she received during the war when she was little, through the use of some powerful allergen.

Jeviso sighed. Judging by the information he received the only males left on the planet were him and his light counterpart. Chances of getting out of here just diminished greatly.

Meanwhile with Jedi Naruto.

Young padawan felt greatly tired. First he saw how his teacher Mace Windu was driven mad like other countless Jedi, who were in that Hell with them. Then he fought an actual Sith and escaped to this location through the usage of the crystal.

Naruto needed time to think, when he appeared in this world he found himself on the coast, there he found himself a cave. Through the usage of Jedi techniques, young padawan went into a state of hibernation, slowing his metabolism.

He needed a time to think and it was the only way possible for him. Crystal on his chest glowed in red menacing light. He couldn't consume the his host, while he or she didn't use it. But amulet knew that power he granted was too grant to resist.

Ancient abomination waited. Patience was its true strength.

With Darth Jeviso.

Jeviso, hidden by shadows, looked the news, he finally reached the first large town and here he found the first interesting thing. Hidden in the alleyway there was a teleportation device. Very interesting, but compared to those he had already saw and read about, also very primitive.

Jeviso decided against interfering into inner programming of said device. But he managed to breach the security systems and found passwords and locations of other devices. This community of metas, the "Justice League" as they called themselves, wasn't as useless as he thought before.

Jeviso activated the portal and stepped inside.

Meanwhile above the Earth. Tower.

Diana looked at the Earth from the illuminator, her sister, Aresia, succeeded in destruction of the male part of the populace. She looked at the coffins behind her. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, Martian Manhunter. Dear friends, who supported her and showed that Man's World wasn't as bad as she thought and was worth protecting, Diana once again sighed.

Gentle hand of Shayera touched her shoulder. In recent days of unrest and anarchy, her only remaining friend was last remaining pillar of strength, her sisters and mother, because of Aresia's actions waged war with Atlantis. Part of the civilian populace hated her guts because she was Amazon like Aresia and she still had a lot of mess to clean after the super villainesses, who roamed free and caused havoc everywhere.

"Brace yourself, Diana. Nothing is over, yet." said Shayera.

"But what can we do?" asked the Amazon.

"We will do what we always do. Continue to stop the bad guys or gals as in our cause." she pushed the button on the console and different images of female heroes appeared before them. "Fortunately we are not the only heroes on the planet."

Diana smiled, for the first time in many days.

With Darth Jeviso.

After teleportation he sensed that he became closer to his goal. However, the trace, which led him to his target, somehow evaporated. He sensed that his opponent was in some sort of hibernation. That must have put an amulet in hibernation too.

Jeviso stopped and listened to the Force.

He felt the pain and anguish of somebody. He followed that trail, through Dark Side he could see clearly where it led. He found him in some strange hideout. Man clad in black and orange outfit. His helmet covered all his face and had only one eyelid.

"Well… look who s here. After all that rubbish with allergen I thought I was the only one male alive. Barely though."

"Interesting, when I came to this world, I thought that aside from my enemy I was the only male here. What's your name warrior?" asked Jeviso.

"Why… why do you think that I'm a warrior?" asked the one-eyed man.

"You reek of blood and violence, I can sense it through the Dark Side, you are just like Me." said Jeviso.

Sith could have bet that he smiled under his mask. "Then… can you put me out of my misery? I lived as a warrior. I will not die like this… unable to even stand and grip my blade."

"I have far better option. Brace yourself." Sith placed his hands on the man's shoulders. Man screamed as lighting struck him. Sith smiled. His hands gripped the shoulders of the one-eyed man and slowly raised him to his feet.

With surprise man felt that pain, which he felt from the start of this madness, slowly left him and his powers returned.

"I… I'm cured! But how? I thought it's impossible?"

"Force knows no bounds, warrior. Now, once again, what is your name?" asked Jeviso.

"Slade. Slade Wilson. People here call me Deathstroke. And I know someone, who can use your power to restore the bodies and give you something in return." said Deathstroke.

Unknown Location. Palace of Ra's Al Ghul. Week later.

Talia sat near the bed of her father and looked how e slowly died. Just like her son. Lazarus Pit changed their bodies, they managed to endure the allergen, but even with bodies like this, they slowly succumbed to the illness.

She was a devoted daughter and loving mother. And now both her father and son slowly died on her hands. She turned her head when slender arm touched her shoulder. Lady Shiva stood behind her.

"Shiva? I thought I told that I not wished to be disturbed."

"My Lady… You will not believe, who came to us."

Talia was greatly displeased. She was about to lose two of her most loved men in the world, after the loss of the third. She truly loved Bruce, even if they never had the same opinion about life.

To her surprise in throne room Deathstroke the Terminator waited for her. Alongside him was high figure covered in dark cloak.

"Talia! Good to see you." greeted her Slade.

"Slade." there was enough venom in her voice to kill the remaining half of humanity. "I thought that this plague will at least rid me of the likes of you, but beggars can't be choosers."

"On the contrary princess. I was dying, well paralyzed from pain, while my regeneration factor dealt with allergen, but I was really close to suicide. Until Jeviso came." he placed his arm on Jeviso pauldron. "I don't know how he uses his mystic shit to cure the illness, but it works. He can heal your father… for a certain price of course."

Talia's poker face didn't change, but her heart lost a beat, this man was a key to saving the lives of her father and son. However, she didn't like the facts that Deathstroke helped her and that this unknown man still haven't said what he wanted from her.

"Well? What do you want?" asked Talia. She expected some sort of greedy request, however, answer a bit surprised her.

"I need to find one man. Since Slade, whose life I saved told me that you can do it for saving your son and father… I decided that it was worth a try. Moreover in recent situation it's hard for me to hide in the crowd."

"Follow me." said Talia. "Shiva show Slade his quarters."

Talia led Jeviso to her personal chambers, here Damian Ra's were.

Jeviso looked over them and lightning danced over his hands. "I will start from your father. Healing can be painful." Shocked Talia saw, how lightning engulfed her father. For several agonizing moments she saw, how her father screamed.

Then lightning stopped. Signs of the illness left the face of the eldest Al Ghul. With loud gasp Ra's opened his eyes. "Father!" with loud scream Talia hugged her father. "You are alive!"

"Daughter… I… what happened?" asked Ra's.

"Father you were ill. Do you remember it?"

"Yes." said Ra's. "I just… need a bit of time to collect my thoughts. While I was ill… Did something happened?"

"Yes… a lot of things…"

However they were interrupted by Jeviso. "My apologies, Lady Talia. But we have a problem."

"Mmm, yes?" Talia turned her face away from her father to Jeviso.

"Daughter, who is he?" asked Ra's

"He is the one, who cured you, father." said Talia.

"Then I must…" Ra's tried to rise, but armored hand returned him to his positions. "Please don't move, or I will sedate you, you are still weak from the effects caused by allergen. Lady Talia, we need to talk."

Talia followed him to the exit of the room. Jeviso stopped there waiting for her.

"I healed your father… But there is a problem with your son." said Jeviso.

"Problem? What kind of problem?"

"Your son's neural system still haven't fully developed, if I will use my techniques on him right now he will die from shock. I will be forced to use less… effective, but more… safe techniques. It will take a lot of time and I cannot guarantee the positive result."

"I… I understand, nevertheless, thank you for saving my father and please tell me how big are the chances for success?"

"Seventy per cents. Pretty big, but I will not take chances." said Jeviso.

"Thanks."

"I have my own interests at stake. So… don't worry." said Darth Jeviso. "Sith like me does not fail." Said he, then when nobody heard he added. "If only they don't wish to fail."

Meanwhile. Unknown location.

Amanda Waller was a greedy, evil bitch and she was proud of it. Cadmus suffered a heavy hit after the Aresia's stunt, But she will manage And she already had a plan how to deal with Justice League.

She slowly got to the special sell with lanterns, imitating the red sun's light, covered the walls, floor and ceiling.

"How are you doing, my little cute kryptonian." she looked how beautiful blond girl clad in prison robes slowly rose from the center of her cell.

"I don't know who you are, but when I will get out of here…"

"You will not." under surprised blonde's eyes her exact copy appeared near Amanda Waller. "After all Kara Zor'El will be summoned to Justice League and become a member soon. While some unknown blonde will remain here."

In Gotham.

Poison Ivy hated men. But Aresia's allergen killed all males on the Earth including animals. Now environment was polluted all around the world and ecological catastrophe was approaching. She needed to somehow fix what happened.

Gentle hands touched her stiffened shoulders.

"Red? Hey, Red, how about a girls night out? Just you, me and Catsy, like good ol' times."

Poison Ivy smiled, at least she got something good from all this mess. Yep, she and Harley are now a couple. Her smile grew wider. Joker was somebody, who she will not grieve over. She was certain about it. But Bats… he was dead now, so she could say that he will miss him. Unlike other males he actually tried. And Celina had a thing for him. She, without a doubt will grieve.

She was about to turn to Harley and continue from where they ended several hours ago, when something in her microscope gained her attention.

"Well, hello there, little one. Looks like my work is finally giving results."

Ra's Al Ghul's palace. Several weeks later.

Enraged Ra's Al Ghul is very rare sight. So when he was informed that good chunk of his forces, alongside the half of humanity, is dead He wasn't angry he was furious. So while Ra's was giving his rage an exit. Naruto was checking young Damian's progress.

He was already healthy, but his mother still didn't let him rise, she was too worried. Ra's had also another reason to be furious. Bruce may have not been the promising student he wanted. But he was great, one of the best, maybe even the best… As somebody, who taught him Ra's had a special bond with his apprentice, moreover he was his grandson's father.

He hated it. He enjoyed the clash with worthy enemy, however dying from something like this? Like illness? Ra's felt himself greatly offended. And all his rage was focused on those, who created that little blonde monster. On Amazons.

Not many knew that long ago Amazons were using sailors from lost ships to procreate, after sex they usually killed the sailors, however once, a priest escaped their grasp he used a boat to flee, shock was to much for him, till his last days he was viewed as madman and nobody listened to his tales about beautiful sea devils and sirens.

No one except his tormentor, who got all details about sea devils, the strange land and brutally murdered the priest, so his tale shall never be told again. From the moment the heart of the priest stopped beating, nobody except his killer knew, how to get to Themyscira.

Nobody except Ra's Al Ghul.

And he was about to take his revenge on Amazons.

With Deathstroke.

Slade Wilson was polishing his sword, he looked, how Darth Jeviso trained with Damian. They actually got along quite well.

This, however was stopped by the arrival of Ra's Al Ghul.

"Lord Jeviso, grandson. Please follow me." They followed master assassin to his quarters. "Currently we are searching for the one you told us about, Lord Jeviso. However, can I ask you about another offer?"

"Tell me what you want… I will think about my answer." replied Jeviso.

"League of Shadows needs to once again prove that we are supreme in our field. And I want to ask you and Slade to lead an attack. Nothing complex, simple assassination of one CEO of large bank net."

Usually when somebody tried to ask him to to something like this Naruto instantly denied. Seriously, he is a fucking Sith Lord, soon-to-be Overlord, it wasn't something that he should do anymore. But whenever he heard the word "bank", he instantly remembered the Bank Clan and his fingers became really… itchy.

"Deal." instantly said he.

Causing Deathstroke and Ra's to raise their brows.

In the bank. Star City.

Karen Star boringly looked at the CEO of the bank. She was really fed with CEO's flattery, of course she understood that she was one of the main investors and whole planet was in a state of crisis, but seriously? She was doing it like it was natural to her, like breathing.

She was ripped from her thread of thoughts by powerful explosion.

Meanwhile, Naruto passed through destroyed doors followed by Deathstroke and Talia.

"Freeze!" female policemen raised their pistols. By slight move of Jeviso's hand, they flew away from their hands. Unstopped they walked to the CEO's office. However he didn't expect to find one of the super heroines there.

"You have two options: give up now and save me and yourself the trouble, or resist and suffer." said Powergirl, with security forces pointing their weapons on them. Jeviso just raised his head, so she could see his eyes, hidden by his hood seconds before.

Smoke covered everything in the room and when it disappeared, behind him stood kunoichi from League of Shadows. Jeviso jumped in the air activating his lightsaber. Powergil blocked the lightsaber with her bare arms, Jeviso raised his brow, however soon she started to scream: even for her holding a blade made of red dot plasma wasn't healthy.

His right hand grabbed her head and lightning struck her violently. After several agonizing minutes she lost her consciousness and Jeviso stepped to CEO, while kunoichi dealt with her security. "Please... I…" armored hand grabbed her throat.

"Lord Ra's is very displeased with your messing over his finances. You will answer to him… personally."

"But allergen… how could I know?" asked CEO.

"You should have known." said Jeviso knocking her down.

Several hours later. Watchtower.

Karen had her arms healed and checked by Batgirl, Diana, Shayera and Helena on med bay of Watchtower.

"What can make you bleed like this?" asked Hawkgirl.

"I don't know what it was it looked like something like blade made from plasma." replied Powergirl. "By the way, who is Ra's Al Ghul? Does anybody know this name?"

"Ra's? Are you sure I hoped that he died from allergen." gasped Batgirl.

"Who is he?" asked Diana.

"Bruce's teacher, several hundred of years old bastard and Master-assassin. He is also ruler of the League of Shadows. Has daughter Talia Al Ghul."

"Anything else?" asked Helena.

"I'm certain it were two males. One in black and orange armor, with one eyehole in helmet." Said Powergirl.

"Deathstroke." said Barbara. "His real name is Slade Wilson. Also professional killer and mercenary for hire, skilled enough to go toe-to-toe with Batman. Was a hero before. Very tough bastard."

"This isn't good." said Karen. "But the other one is even worse. I don't know anything about him and he was the one, who used the sword on me and also some sort of lightning attack, to knock me out."

"This isn't good." said Diana. "What can we do against someone like him?"

Somewhere on the shore.

Raven levitated over the sea in search of mystical energy she had felt, followed by her friend Starfire. She could do it alone, of course, but Starfire needed to get out from Tower, Raven feared that she will find her motionless body if she will leave for too long.

Deaths of their friends hit them hard, especially Starfire, her kind being very emotional, can really die from feeling sorrow. That's why Raven took her to check on strange energy signature she felt. They landed on the shore and guided by Raven's six sense, they followed the trail left by unknown.

The trail got them to the cave, covered by bushes. Starfire burned them with her powers. Levitating they entered the cave.

They saw a figure covered by brown robe sitting in lotus position. Raven slowly stretched her hand pulled of the hood that covered the figure's head. Both of them gasped. It was a male. Rather good looking male, they might add.

Raven smiled, looking at interested Starfire. Maybe it will be worth it in the end.

Ra's Al Ghul's palace.

Jeviso meditated in his chambers, given to him by Ra's Al Ghul, he scanned the echoes in the Force, trying to locate the carrier of the artifact. Here in dark maelstroms of the Dark Side he felt himself free and safe.

He felt how energies shifted and moved, he didn't know why Jedi and Sith denied themselves such a pleasure. Sith discarded meditation as something only puny Jedi should do, Jedi feared to dwell deep inside their meditation. But he did, and here in hurricane of Darkness and light and calm power of the balanced, neutral Force, he found peace. He found the reason. He found the answer.

As well as the echo of young Jedi's calling.

He opened the eyes before Talia entered his room.

"Lord Jeviso…"

"I know where he is." said he before she managed to do anything.

Roof of Titan's Tower.

"So there is a chance of resurrecting the male populace?" asked Vixen, one of the new members of Justice League, who stood alongside others. Galatea in disguise was also here, so Amanda Waller was aware of what was happening. She was already planning, how to steal the boy from clutches of Justice Bitches, as she called all super heroines, who were against of her.

"Yes, might of this crystal, alongside the arts that I learned in the Temple must be enough. Of course, the crystal will be destroyed, but I hope that you will help me to return." shyly smiled he and many hearts skipped a beat. Starfire eagerly nodded and Raven supported her.

"Hmm, you now how to bend Spirits? Because that's what you will need, to return the spirits of the dead, if so… you are much more skilled than I first thought. Little boy." he stood before them, as Naruto remembered him. Dark, menacing figure, clad in black robes.

Behind him were Ra's Al Ghul, Talia, Deathstroke and someone little, covered by cloak and hood. "Well, I hope nobody needs the introductions. Give me the crystal, padawan, or prepare to be mutilated."

"I will rather die than give something as dangerous and powerful to a Sith!" said Naruto activating his two blue lightsabers. "As you wish." replied Jeviso. He shrugged his shoulders, letting his cloak fell to the earth, took his lightsaber and activated both blades.

Meanwhile Batgirl and Helena were attacked by Talia and shorty.

"I thought that League of Shadows has no interest in young boys." said Batgirl. However kick to the ribs from the short figure made her shut up. Hood fell off from his head, she looked at the boy and he reminded her about Bruce.

"See why I help him." said Talia throwing away Helena. "His name is Damian Wayne, he is mine and Bruce's son. This also makes him grandson of Ra's Al Ghul. And Jeviso saved both their lives. That's why we follow him."

Red and blue blades crossed, Naruto used the Force Push, empowered by Crystal of Truth, but equally powerful one met him. Jeviso certainly didn't wish to give up without a fight. His lightning struck Naruto violently. Blonde Jedi fell to his knees, while blonde Sith used this moment to kick his guts.

Spinning young padawan landed far away. Starfire flew to him followed by Raven, but both were stopped by Force storm, caused by Jeviso.

"What kind of a… monster, are you?" whispered Naruto, looking at Jeviso, his mask divided in halves revealing his face.

"I'm you, Naruto, your possible future." replied Jeviso.

"Future? Maybe I'm your future." denied him Naruto.

"Future? You are imperfect. Flawed. Filled with fears. You fear yourself. You fear your anger. You fear the beast sealed inside you." Naruto opened his eyes widely.

"I fought the Ninth Demon King and prevailed. I conquered my fears while I was on Korriban, I tamed my anger. Through deepest Darkness I reached the Light, Both sides of the Force answers my call. I'm Darth Jeviso, the Gray Master, descendant of Darth Revan! Force itself runs through my veins!"

"I don't care, who you are!" Naruto raised the crystal in his hand. "But you will never have the crystal!"

He disappeared in a flash of light. And fighting stopped.

"Looks like we have no more reason to fight." said Talia, disappearing in a cloud of smoke with rest of the League of Shadows.

"Wait!" screamed the Batgirl trying to reach Damian.

"Looks like he left." said Jeviso with his breathing mask once again fully covering the lower half of his face. "I hope none of you will be foolish enough to fight me."

Diana gribbed her arm, slashed by one of the ninja. "No. We will not. But I hope you understand that you doomed the humanity?" asked she.

"Actually if you had started the ritual, he would had died, his life energy sucked dry, by Crystal of Truth. That's what happens when Jedi use the Crystal. Eventually you would have failed."

"But… but that means that we never had a chance." said Karen.

"Actually you have. I can use a special ritual to create a life inside one of you." said Jeviso.

"They all rose their brows. "You can do it?"

"Pweeease…" mockingly said Jeviso. "I am the master of the Force. Not some padawan, who still wasn't christened as Jedi Knight. Now we must do two things: there is a betrayer among you. Isn't it, Galatea?" he turned to the Supergirl.

"What?"

"She is a clone. They always has this strange vibe in the Force, only a Master can sense it though." said Jeviso.

"Fuck." muttered Galatea and flew into the air. Karen followed her.

"Now choose somebody, who will be the vessel." said Jeviso.

"Take me." said Diana. "My sister started this. I must atone for her sins."

Green light concentrated in his arms, he touched Diana's belly and she screamed as she felt how something appeared inside her and started to grow. She fell to her knees clutching her belly.

"I hope you take a good care about our child." said Jeviso.

"Our… Child?" asked Diana.

"Of course. I used my pure, own Force to create the one, that right now grows in you." said Jeviso. "Take care of him. He will have a great power. Also, Ra's may have told everyone, who puts the blame for the current situation on Amazons, location of your island." said he disappearing in a flash of light like Naruto did before.

Taris. Nearly four thousand years ago BBY.

"We will deal with his crew, your friends, Zayne and this nightmare can finally stop." said high blonde man in white ornamented armor.

"Why? Only I'm the threat!"

"You never understood the Force. Our lives are just the threads of big tapestry. You fate can be linked with them. Actually they know too much."

Zayne raised his chin. "We will fight equally?"

"I cannot afford this."

However with a flash of light blue blade was stopped by red one. Before them was figure in dark robes, with red blazing lightsaber. Ground shook under their feet, as tower slowly fell because of blaster fire. Roof exploded and figure in red suit, with Zayne's lightsaber in hand.

"Lord of the Sith!" screamed one of the Masters.

Figure removed the helmet and white, beautiful face of Jarael was under it. "Carrick! Get your ass outta here!"

She grabbed Zein and using her back pack flew away. Masters disarmed by Zein were alone with Darth Jeviso. He hid himself with shadow, and disappeared under surprised eyes of the Master Prophets.

Somewhere else.

Jeviso appeared from shadows on the other part of Taris. He found a terminal to get the information about his whereabouts. He cursed when he found out. He was in his Galaxy, but nearly four thousand years ago, in heat of Mandolorian Wars, even before his ancestor Revan had sired his line.

Of course meeting someone like him will be really great, but right now he needed to hide, and get away from the planet as the Force told him. It led him away to the underground tunnels. Here from shadows he will assist the rebellion forces.

Several weeks later.

Taris burned under the power of mandolorians. Here fighting them, alongside the rebellion forces, two interesting persons met. Gryph and Darth Jeviso. Sith was now a member of a biker group, Hidden Becks, which ravaged the supply lines of Mando'ade.

When they ended their raid Zayne, who came to the planet to take care of some personal shit. He met alongside the rebels sister of his classmate, he once had a feelings to this girl, Shel. Before she aimed her blaster at him.

Raana Tey stood behind her with her blazing green sword telling her to end his lfe.

"If you wish to fight a Sith, Jedi, maybe you should turn your head?" Raana was fast enough to stop the attack of Darth Jeviso, while Gryph stopped Shela. Raana stepped back under the powerful and unpredictable barrage of attacks of Darth Jeviso.

"Enough!" loud voice of Gadon made them jump away from each other. "They are one of my men, Jedi. Try something and there will be a lot more wholes than you had before in your body."

"I hope you remember that you are a wanted man yourself and I'm still a constable?" asked one of the soldiers.

"You are just making it easier for mandalorians." said a green skinned man, who suddenly appeared among them. "Raana, please lower your sword."

"But sire, this is Zayne Cerrick a child killer!"

"Child killer? Look what we found first, and then lie, Jedi scum." Gadon made a sign and constable's missing children were released from the ranks of Hidden Becks. "Nack! Talli!" one of female soldiers hugged them.

"You… found them Gadon?" asked senator.

"Zayne had found them. We can use such an ally."

"Ally he is a Sith!" instantly exploded Raana.

"Girl." said Jeviso. "There is only one Sith in the room and that is me, and of course, there is a lying bitch, who by some strange and sick joke of the universe dares to call herself Jedi."

"He is Zayne Cerrick! He must pay! He is the slayer of padawans from Taris!" said Raana, ignoring Jeviso.

"Stay your sword." Once again ordered the senator and she listened.

Aside from some minor bickering and Raana's attempts to persuade Shel to kill Zayne everything was fine.

Darth Jeviso waited on the top of Jedi Tower, while Shel, in shackles, and Zayne, in mandolorian armor, went passed the cordons

"I still can't believe. You thought that I killed you brother? My father and mother didn't believe, and who I thought to be… Never mind, there was nothing between us as you said." said Cerrick.

"How could I know. You got to Jedi Temple, my parents died, my brother was the only family left and Jedi do not marry!"

"Hey we both knew that I will fail!"

"Hey what are you two doing here?" asked one of the mandolorians.

Instantly Shel hugged Zayne and kissed him passionately.

"Don't worry brothers, he converts…" said the other mandolorian and patrol passed them.

"Ugh!"

"Fuck!" said Shel grabbing her knee "Tough armor."

"Fuck…" moaned Cerrick holding his family jewels. "Not tough enough."

Top of the Jedi Tower.

"Lucien always cursed me, when we were children and I took his portion of the dinner, for myself. Now I will take one more padawan. Now I will take his kill!" Blue lightsaber got from her stomach and when she fell crying Shel stood behind her. She fell to her knees and Zayne hugged her.

"You are innocent Zayne." sniffed she. "Innocent."

"I will not let you go…" she rose to her feet, summoning her sword. And red blade met her green one. "You wanted to face Sith? Well I'm here." He raised his hand to the sky and lightning pierced the sky. Force Storm hit his opened palm and he concentrated the lightning in himself.

Then he released it and unleashed power hit Master Raana. She tried to protect herself with the Force, but lightning easily overcame her defenses. She loudly screamed as Darth Jeviso slowly fried her with Sith Lightning.

Jeviso hated this woman she looked a lot like his teacher Shaak Ti, but whatever she was, Raana wasn't. He was completely disgusted with her. They clashed above the roof.

"Do you feel it? The power of the Dark Side? It's within the both of us. But you are slowly falling. How is it, to kill the armless innocent children? I'm a Sith, but even I had never stepped so low." said Jeviso. He kicjed her to the knee and she fell on her back. Togruta raised her hand, as if she was trying to protect herself. "Please… please say Krynda… I'm sorry." and red blade pierced her chest.

On Coruscant.

"I too can feel it Q'Anilia. Poor Raana Tay…"

"No… It's not just this. He knows. He knows!"

Several weeks later.

Coruscant was blockaded. But Jeviso has already been waiting for Zayne on Coruscant. As Naruto has been waiting for Jeviso. He waited, hiding inside the HQ of Covenant.

Meanwhile, Master Xamar led Zayne Cerrick, dressed as Sith Lord, to face the judgment of Covenant. Inside the Temple Lucien and Q'Anilia waited for them, alongside them stood the figure covered by brown robes.

"I brought them, as I promised Lucien. Zayne took the Talisman of Muur. Or talisman did."

"Then… then we did the right thing. Right thing." Muttered Q'Anilia.

"Emm… Of course, Q'Anlia. We knew that we can count on you Xamar. Were there any problems?"

"Not at all." answered Xamar.

"We had finally met, accomplice." said Lucien to Gryph.

"I prefer being called the Great Coombinator."

"As you wish… Gryph, isn't it? Zayne said that you are far better teacher than I am."

"Yeah, boy just begged to be promoted, and that's why I am here your Sith artifact completely brainwashed him, he is completely insane!"

"This can be corrected." said Lucien.

"Stop this Lucien! If you will kill Zayne Talisman will seek another host!"

"He is right Lucien." said another voice and old man with cane in his right prosthetic arm went inside. Then things went south.

"And in the time of tribulation to come, there will be five… One for the darkness… and one for the light. Another from the darkness stands in the light, while one from the light stands in the darkness. The last one stands apart from all. And between them… between them… all that has been built will fall." declared the puppet master, while Republic fleet bombarded positions of the Jedi, under his orders.

"This is the Prophecy of the Five, predicted by Krynda, it describes the day, when old Empires will fall and new power will get to arena. Day which I awaited, for so long. And it is today."

Haazen turned his back to them. "At first I thought your little circle of Five will be the ones Krynda spoke about. But then the situation turned, when I understood my own role. True actors are gathered here. Q'Analia of the light, blinded by darkness… Our little Gryph chose the light. I thought Zayne will be the one in darkness, but he stayed in light. Fortunately I have another candidate."

"Yes. You!"

"No." Haazen activated both his blades. "I stand apart from all. My powers got the hold of both sides. Jedi and Sith bend to my will. Because I'm both… I'm Haazen, loyal servan of Krynda and her cabal, but I'm also… according to ancient Sith traditions, Darth Hayze, creater of the clouds of deceptions. I have enough followers among Jedi. Look at this one." Figure in brown robes got close to them and then revealed his face. It was Naruto. "I managed to persuade this young man to my cause. And Sith… you Lucien, who stayed in darkness, will lead them."

"Cough. Cough." Haazen turned to his left. "Excuse me." said Darth Jeviso, pointing to the brainwashed Naruto. I have a bone to pick with that one."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and brown cloak fell to the earth, two lightsabers shoot into his hands activating and glowing with azure light. Dark cloak also fell to the earth and red blades sprouted from his hilt. Red blades blocked the blue ones.

Jeviso crashed his fist into Naruto's ribs. He heard the crack but Naruto didn't even bulge, whatever Haazen did to him improved his powers.

Blades once again tried to reach his chestplate, but he ducked and stubbed his blade forward. Naruto jumped up and spinned in the air, he placed his blades in reverse grip, trying to stub Jeviso from above. Jeviso growled and Sith Lightning fried Naruto.

Click. Click. Click.

Crystal fell to the earth. Jeviso grabbed it. And at this moment Republic Forces bombarded the Draay's compound. Nobody noticed how figure in dark armor carried away unconscious body.

Before the Temple of Eternal Battle.

Naruto gasped as he returned to his senses. Dark mist finally cleared before his eyes. Power, that Darth Hayze had over him finally released him. Figure in dark armor stood before him. Crystal of Truth glowed in his hand, skies darkened above them and lightning struck into the crystal. It exploded in flash of bright red energy that covered Darth Jeviso like a sphere and entered him.

He fell to the earth his eyes glowing, with unholy red. Column of red energy hit the sky, emitted by his body. Naruto looked, how Jeviso stood up, covered by sparks of red energy. Jeviso raised his hand and focused his energies, teleporting Naruto back to his reality.

He looked at the prosthetic arm of Darth Hayze, which he took from the battlefield. He took the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger off the skeletal hand and threw the needless metal away. He placed the Gauntlet on his right hand and felt how his power flowed through it.

Gauntlet fit perfectly on his armor.

Naruto smiled. Invincibility sounded good. He walked away from the crumbling Temple of Eternal Battle. He didn't turn back. He was above it.

Overlords of the Sith do not care about something as little as massive crumbling Temple.

Coruscant. Palace of the Emperor Palaptine.

Darth Siduis looked over his lightsaber hilt. He hated it, he felt how both sides of the Force shook from the power of the Sith. It was unmistakable and Palpatine was sure, that it was that damned brat!

On Dagobah.

Yoda looked up to stars and thought that he, perhaps, left the battlefield to hastily.

Several days later. Unknown location.

Naruto walked through the white corridor with holovid, with Lord Vader on the line.

"Shipyard has been found, Lord Jeviso. Our fleets are expanding with great speed." said Vader.

"Great, maybe like this we will not need the Collector's facilities." He stopped before the door and it opened revealing the insides. Shepard floated in tank filled with some sort of a liquid, she already looked better than the pile of meat and bones they had returned to Cerberus.

Now she looked nearly exactly the same, but through some layers of skin cybernetic implants glowed. Naruto turned his head to Miranda, who worked her magic on different computer screen. Naruto slowly got closer from her back, enjoying the show, which her uniform provided.

"New jewelry?" asked Miranda nodding at his gauntlet.

"How is she?" ignored her question Jeviso, when he stopped near her.

"Bad. We restored her body, but her mind is still… Well, with your brain dead for several hours… This may be the best thing you will get." said Miranda. "Maybe your strange powers can do something?"

"Hmm…" Jeviso touched Shepard's body and felt that small fire of her gift becoming bigger. As if something was slowly increasing it.

"She will not awake, until all processes in her body will finish." said Jeviso.

"And what happens to her?" asked Miranda.

"The fuck, if I know. If I'm Sith'ari and have connection with the Force, it doesn't automatically mean that I know everything." said Jeviso.

"Anyway, how is the creation of her new ship progressing?" asked Miranda, trying to change the subject and evade the rage of the Overlord of the Sith.

"It's has been already completed." said Jeviso. "Normandy SR-2 is fully functioning."

"Good. But we still need Shepard for this." said Miranda with a grimace. "Well… according to Illusive Man's words at least."

"You doubt the head of your organization? The one, who led you to me? The one, who predicted that you are dealing with multiracial political organization?" asked Jeviso.

"I'm angry because he doesn't let me to put a controlling chip inside her." angrily spat Miranda.

Jeviso nodded his head. "Yeah, sometimes this comes in handy."

"Well I will leave you two alone, work your magic Miranda." said Jeviso leaving the room.

"Oh, don't worry Dark Lord." said Miranda slowly getting out of her outfit. "I will."

Meanwhile. With Grand Moff Trachta.

Trachta put an energy clip inside the blaster. H didn't need weapons on his territory, but coming to a meeting with such people unarmed… can give them unneeded thoughts. He entered the large room and looked over those who were inside.

Ziton Moj, leader of Black Sun. Lom Pyke of Pyke Syndicate. Jona Sederis of Eclipse. Garm of Blood Pack. Vido Santiago of Blue Suns. He looked over the bandits, mercenaries and drug dealers. Trachta sat in the head of table.

"I hope I got your attention. Good." started Trachta. "I will be brief. I want to hire you. As illegal mercenary groups, you cannot be controlled by official governments. Therefore you are perfect weapon for wrecking havoc inside our enemies' territories."

Red lenses that were substitution for his real eyes looked over them.

"I hope you will agree because…" he snapped his fingers. "You will be either paid handsomely, or die by the hands of my soldiers."

Without any kind of resistance they agreed to his conditions.

With Darth Jeviso.

Sith'ari sat in his cabinet and looked over the datapads. Numbers of the cyber Sith Knights slowly grew. Takara Hilt, now commander Takara Hilt assumed control over them. Meanwhile Lord Vader was clearing the former Hutts' Space.

Sith'ari sighed. So many things to do and so little time. He placed his datapad away and took another one. Fleet was growing in size as Shipyard, found by Darth Vader, created them. Because of this fleet grew with tremendous rate. But the expenses on the fleet also grew tremendously. Of course prototype shipyard for Star Forge gave them more powerful and durable ships than those of Confederacy's and Empire's construction.

However he also needed crews for all these ships. Lack of personnel was so bad that he was forced to put the droids of HK series. Naruto didn't like the fact that he had such great differences between droid and human part of the crew. The examples of Katana Fleet and Malevolence were still fresh before his eyes.

He hated it. Hated that he couldn't smash his problems like he did with all his enemies before.

Somewhere else with Confederacy Fleet.

"You can go now." said Dooku to his greatest assassin. Minato nodded and left.

"Look at yourself. Miserable little coward. Yes, yes, kneel like the dog you are." whispered the first ghost of Rakatha to his ear.

"Don't listen to him, fight! You must fight and kill him!" angrily said another.

Minato massaged his temples he couldn't understand why he needed to deny count Dooku's orders and why he felt himself so humiliated when acted according to the orders. Strange and disturbing thoughts started to appear, his hallucinations, as he thought they were, were slowly destroying his mind.

He tried to remember, who or what he was, but the only thing he could remember was his name. No matter how hard he tried he always reached something akin to an iron wall. Memories of his first awakening flooded his mind. He was what Dooku told him. His assassin.

But somewhere within himself he didn't trust the man. He knew that he was more than just a mere assassin. He was born to lead, not follow. He knew that somewhere in that waste space filled with stars and planets there was a place he called his home. Place where his family lived.

Place where he was akin to a king.

And he will return.

Malevolence. Weeks later.

Jeviso stood near illuminator, with Darth Vader behind his left shoulder. They both looked into the depths of limitless cosmic space in front of them. They both thought about war. But while Naruto was more focused on how he should proceed about his fleet.

Anakin on the other side thought about killing the key members of enemies' command.

Aside from the problems with the fleet, Naruto had the problems with his allies. Illusive Man wa getting angrier with Miranda's lack of progress. She was bothering him and mercenary bands once again activated.

First of all he needed to deal with Lazarus project. In his personal ship he went to the station, where Miranda tried to resurrect Shepard. He continued to think about what he must do. First of all he will send Vader and his fleet alongside his legion to deal with mercenaries.

Still in thought he entered the room where Shepard's body was. He opened his eyes widely, as he raised his head. On the operation table naked as at the day of her birth was Miranda. She held the leg of equally naked Shepard on her shoulder and moved her hips rubbing their pussies together.

Jeviso coughed, gaining attention of Miranda. She instantly turned to him pulling a blaster from somewhere.

"I will give you five minutes, to get dressed, while I try to unsee what I saw, to not lower my high opinion about you."

Five minutes later, fully dressed Miranda, stood near the table with fully dressed Shepard, with her usual, stoic expression.

"Good… Now… let us start." lightning danced near his hands and struck Shepard's body. Miranda looked at the monitors. Sheprds brain activity slowly increased, for the first time she had a progress. She made a sign to Darth Jeviso to stop his work. Sith stopped using the lightning and, like Miranda, looked at the monitors.

Darth Jeviso smiled under the breathing mask. "Maybe if you didn't have an habit of getting out of your clothes, while you are alone with helpless woman… maybe, just maybe, our project could have given us results sooner."

"Hey!"

"Don't be feisty, Miranda. But we need the results. Reapers are returning. We need an agent, who has experience in dealing with such sort of threats. Aside from me and Shepard there is no one. But I'm too busy preparing my fleets and Shepard is kinda… dead. So between getting me away from the fleets and spending time on resurrecting of Shepard, we chose the latter. And your carnal desire for persons with superior genetic material sabotages our project. Do you know what I do with people, who sabotage my orders and projects?"

"N-no."

"Grat. And trust me you wouldn't want to know. It's very painful. And my imagination is very… twisted. I can say, that it is the most twisted one among my kind. So… DO. NOT. ANGER. ME. AM. I. CLEAR?" said Naruto choking Miranda with the Force a little.

Miss "Best Booty of the Galaxy" nodded her head. "Good. Now tell me about that thing… Project "Mirror's Edge", I presume it is called?"

Miranda gulped. But if he will manage to deal with the crazy bitch… Not even noticing, she started to talk.

Several days later. Unknown location.

Maya Brooks evaded the blaster shoot from the clone troopers. Maybe hiding from Cerberus in Terminus Systems wasn't such a good idea. She once again ducked, letting a spinning red blade pass above her.

Definitely wasn't a good idea.

Maya felt how invisible had covered her throat. She was forced to float back, to the lines of soldiers in strange, black armor. She stopped and floated in front of a figure in dark armor and blazing, red lightsaber. She heard heavy, raspy breathing.

It chilled her to the core.

"Maya Brooks." said the figure. "Where is the clone you had stolen from Cerberus?"

Day Later Malevolence.

Both Dark Lords and commander Rex, stood before tank where floated the clone of Commander Jane Shepard.

"Has she been programmed?" asked Jeviso.

"No. Fortunately, nor Brooks, nor Cerberus had started to do it." replied Vader.

"Good. Commander Rex, it will be your responsibility to teach her all that she needs. If everything will be alright we will create a new, special unit, formed from clones of Shepard."

Rex hit his fist into his armored chest. "As you wish, sir."

Meanwhile. With Separatist Fleet's.

"Workings of Cerberus is disturbing our crusade greatly." said Count Dooku, sitting before the Generals of CIS forces.

"But what can we do?" asked Grievous. "Their forces are hidden and location of their Head Quarters is highly classified."

"Yes." said Dooku. "But we managed to find the location of research facility, where they are working over the project called "Lazarus", you will take the platoon of battle droids and siege the complex."

"As you wish, Lord Dooku." said Grievous, leaving.

Secret facility of Cerberus.

Shepard opened her eyes to see the white ceiling of some sort of lab.

"He reacts. Brain activity and heart rate had increased." said an unknown male voice.

Another unknown, yet clearly female voice replied; "I think he awakes." Jane opened her eyes and saw bald middle-aged man and beautiful raven haired female. 'Damn it, Wilson! She is not ready yet! Give her sedative." She bowed to her and took the arm Jane tried to stretch to her. "Shepard, don't try to move. Lay still, don't move. Try to calm down."

"Pulse is still growing, brain activity is increasing to unbelievable level." small pause. "Critical fall. Nothing happens!"

"One more dose. Now!" ordered Miranda.

"Heart rate is slowing. He is stabilizing. That was dangerous we nearly lost him."

Raven haired beauty turned to the bald man. "I have already told you that your data isn't right. Check it again."

World faded to darkness once again.

Miranda left the operation room fuming. Because of that bald bastard they nearly lost Shepard because of his arrogance. She heard the zooming sound of holovid. Image of Darth Jeviso appeared.

"Lord Jeviso… If this is about situation…"

Sith raised his hand, giving her a sign to stop.

"No. Recently I spoke with Illusive Man. CIS forces were sent to your location. Grievous is leading them. Get Shepard away from the facility and don't try to play hero."

"Yes, I… I understand. Thank you, my Lord, for taking an interest in my wellbeing. But Shepard is still unprepared. We must continue the project."

"Miranda. Miranda!..."

She cut off the transmission and walked back to the laboratory. Shepard must be finished quickly.

Sometime later.

"Wake up commander." Jane opened her eyes. "Shepard can you hear me? Get out of the bed we are under attack. Shepard your wounds are still not completely cured, butyou need to move. Facility is under attack." Jane slowly rose up, clutching her aching ribs. "There is a pistol and armor in the locker on the other side of the room. Hurry!"

"There isno ammo in that thing." said Shepard.

"Don't worry you can get the… shit! Those balloons near the door will explode in mere seconds! Take cover!" powerful explosion opened the door. "Somebody is hacking our systems, trying to kill you. Search for the clips to the pistol."

Jane passed the destroyed doors and took the clip, which laid on the floor. Doors once again opened before her and he got into the large hangar.

"Look's like our personnel created a barricade to hold the robots. Careful!" blaster shots from the droids on stairway forced her to to take cover behind some large box. With surprise Shepard noticed that her hyper intuition increased greatly. It nearly forced her to take cover behind the box.

"Concentrate let go of your anger."

Shepard looked around. Once again this voice. Female one. Not the one that led her, but the one that awakened her. Shepard shrugged her shoulders and turned the battle droids into a pile of scrapped metal.

"Good." Heard she the voice of Miranda. "We have not much time. Try to get to the transports." Jane walked up the stairs and once again found herself in large room. "Take cover Shepard, those robots are close!"

Jane cursed under her breath, those strange freakish things… she hated them, it was clear now. With small and thin robots was one massive it rose its arm and small blaster opened fire. However, Shepard's biotics dealt with it.

"Good Shepard. The coast is clear."

Jane continued her path, durin it she saw through the window, as droids shoot the personnel. "Don't stop Shepard, I can't bide you time forever." Shepard continued her path filled with corpses of dead personnel.

"Shepard near you is dead soldier take his weapon and deal with attacking forces, that are going your way." Jane took the rocket launcher and waited until the doors opened. First party of the droids passed the doors, only to be torn to shreds by the explosion.

"Use the lift to get down." said Miranda's voice, while Jane got to the lower level and run through the flames, to the slowly closing doors. Shepard passed through the doors, but Miranda's transmissions were slowly cut off.

Shepard continued to walk, during it she put several crawling droids out of their misery. She passed through several rooms copying the data from computers. In one of the rooms she found a dark-skinned male, who was shooting the robots.

"Shepard? What the fuck are you doing here?" asked he. Jane slid to the cover where he was also hiding and said: "I was sleeping for far too long. I need to find out what happened, while I was out cold."

"Yeah. Sorry about that." replied soldier. "I'm Jacob Taylor… I'm serving here for…"

Doors on the other side of the room opened. "Here they are!"

"Shit." Jacob took cover as blaster shoots passed above him. He made a shoot and turned one of the into smoking pieces of metal.

"If you are here, then everything is worse than I thought. I will tell you everything, but we need to get to the shuttle."

"Well… It's your station Jacob, show me the way." said Jane.

"First, let's deal with the junkheads. We have next to nothing ammo, but I'm biotic, so tell me when to attack and I will deal with them."

Several destroyed droids later…

"Well… Let's get out of here." said Jacob.

"Wait a minute." said Shepard. "I need answers."

"Yes. What do you want."

"Do you know, who is behind this attack?" asked Shepard.

"No. I have been preparing to go to sleep and the… Explosions… Panic… But judging by the droids, I think we are dealing with CIS."

"CIS?"

"Ah… yes, you were gone before that happened. CIS is a Confederation of Independent Systems... Like Neutral Alliance, whose members you had already met, they are from another Galaxy. And use these "droids" as foot soldiers in their army."

"Hmm… you said I was being rebuilt for two years. Everything was that bad?"

"I'm not a doctor, but even I understood, that everything was bad. I saw you back then, just pile of meat with tubes attached. In any other placed you had been sent straight to the coffin. But here, in project "Lazarus", everything is different. Greatest technologies."

"What kind of technologies? Cloning? Cybernetics?"

"I do not know details. You need to ask the scientists. But I'm pretty sure you are not a clone, there was an order to restore you as you were. Well… Maybe with several new details."

"And what about the project? Were there any other members?"

"It was started with only one goal. To bring you back to life. But it wasn't easy. Two years. Greatest scientists. Newest technologies."

Shepard sighed. "Last thing I remember was Normandy's explosion. Did anyone else survive?"

"Nearly everyone survived. Died several soldiers situated on lower levels of the ship. Navigating officer Pressly was killed by explosion. But others, including those, who didn't serve the Alliance, asari, Shiala and quarian, survived." replied Jacob.

"And where are they now?" asked Jane.

"I don't know Commander. Two years passed. They are scattered across the Galaxy. Others left the Alliance. You need to find them, if you can, of course."

They were my crew. If they knew that I'm still alive, they would have returned." said Shepard.

"Maybe, you will find them, when we will get away from the station. If we get away from the station." corrected himself Jacob.

"And what are you doing here?" asked Shepard.

"It matters on whom you ask. I'm one of Miranda's high officers. Without her – just soldier. Five years ago I served in Alliance Forces. Right now I'm answering for station's security. Usually it's much more silent here. I shoot only targets in rifle range."

"When I woke up, someone called Miranda spoke to me. Then we lost contact and I met you." Said Jane

"Miranda Lawson is commanding officer of this station. She leads the project "Lazarus". Her goal was to return you to life through any means possible. It is logical that she tried to save you. She doesn't want to lost you. So the transmission was cut off… What happened?"

"Before the transmission was cut off, I heard screaming and explosion."

She can take care of herself, but I'm a bit worried." replied Jacob.

"How we can reach the shuttles?" asked Shepard.

"Depends on where are more robots. Maybe we should…"

He was interrupted by male voice that came through dynamics:

"Checking. Checking. Can anybody hear me? Is there someone alive? Answer me!"

"Wilson? It's Jacob. I have Shepard here with me. We just dealt with droids in wing D."

"Shepard's alive? What the hell is… Nevermind. Get him out of there. Move through the tunnels and get to the commanding center."

"Got you Wilson. Remain where you are." said Jacob.

"Bald man with mustache and beard? That Wilson?" asked Shepard.

"Yeah that's him. He is our main medic. Second only to Miranda. Let's go, tunnels are this way."

They passed through the tunnels clearing them from the battle droids.

"Shit! Those tunnels are filled with them! Wilson, you little shit! Get us the path where there are less of those bitches." screamed

"They found me! They have found me!" screamed the voice through dynamics.

"Shit! Wilson! Where are you?" screamed Jacob.

"Server room B! Please hurry! They are out of control!"

"Up this stairway Shepard." said Jacob, who was following Jane.

"God! I'm wounded! They hit me!" screamed the dynamics. Jacob and Jane passed through the corridors filled with moveless bodies of the personnel. They found Wilson crawling behind one of the boxes in hangar.

"Those bastards shoot my leg." said he.

"You were near, when I returned to my senses." said Jane.

"Yeah I was." He looked at Jacob, who worked on the wound on his leg. "Maybe we will speak after healing my wound?" asked baldy.

Shepard nodded, while Jacob rose to his legs. "In medicine chest on the wall must be panacelin. I hope there is enough there to get Wilson back on his legs." said Jacob.

Wilson slowly rose to his shaky legs. "Thank you, Shepard. Never thought that you will save me. Looks like we are even now. I thought that I make the security systems run again. But traitor did a good number on it. There is nothing I can do."

"We don't know what were you doing here. Why did Confederacy droids let you pass? You sneaked into the biowing, by the way."

"Were you not listening? I tried to fix it! I got shot! How can you explain this?" asked Wilson.

"You are all foreigners to me. Let's get to the safe place first and blame each other later." said Shepard.

"Yes, Shepard, we need to find Miranda, we can't leave her here." answered Jacob.

"You better forget about her." said Wilson. "She was in wing D. There are droids everywhere. She couldn't survive."

"There no way, a bunch of robots could dill with her. She is alive." countered Jacob.

"Yeah? And where is she? Why isn't she online?" asked Wilson. "There is only one explanation. Either she is dead, or she is… the traitor."

"Then, why did she wake me up and warn me about the attack?" asked Jane.

"Okay, maybe she isn't traitor, but that doesn't change anything, we are here and she isn't. We need to save ourselves. Docks are just…" said Wilson, while doors burst open revealing CIS forces. "Damn!"

Several good shots exploded the mountain of canisters, which stood near the entrance.

"Okay, we dealt with them, but there are more. Shepard…" said Jacob. "…if I tell you, who I'm working for, will you trust me?"

"Not the best moment." interfered Wilson.

"Nothing good will come out of this, if she will be constantly expect to be shot." replied Jacob.

"Want to get on the bad side of our boss, you are on your own." Wilson crossed his arms on his chest.

"Project "Lazarus", program, that resurrected you… it's kinda… financed and controlled by "Cerberus"." said Jacob.

"When I dealt with Saren, I clashed with the "Cerberus" once, if I remember correctly, it's a radical human group, who doesn't answer to anyone, isn't it?"

That's how Alliance told. Now everything is even more difficult."

"Told? What do you mean?" asked Shepard.

"I mean that Alliance deemed you dead. They gave up on you. "Cerberus" did not. And in fact Alliance didn't exist anymore." said Jacob.

"Doesn't exist? What the fuck are you talking about?" said Shepard.

"Sometime after your death, Galactic Empire invaded the Alliance Space. Admiralty submitted, right now Alliance is nothing but a colony for the Galactic Empire. Listen on your place I too would have been suspicious. But right now we need to work together. I just thought that you need to know. When we will get out of the station, I will get you to Illusive Man. I swear, he will tell you everything."

"The Illusive Man? He is behind it?"

"Yeah? That's not a real name of course, nobody knows more about him." said Wilson.

"That's a code name given to him by Alliance, he calls himself like this ever since."

"I don't care what you did wie, I don't care about what you say, I don't work with terrorists!" angrily said Jane.

"Speak about that with the boss, but let's save our asses first. Shuttles are close."

Dead bodies, robots all turned into grey mass before their eyes as they passed through alleyways of the s Shepard's biotics as well as Jacob'station, to the docks.

Finally they reached the needed door. Wilson walked a bit faster…

"Come on. Open. We are nearly…" doors opened revealing black haired female. "Miranda?! But you are…" She shoot him into the head.

"Dead?" asked Miranda the corpse of Wilson.

"What the hell are you doing?" asked Jacob.

"Doing my job he betrayed us all." She turned to see the Shepard's pistol.

"We should have taken him in and interrogate." said Jane.

"Too risky. I risked too many things to return you back to life. Why should we endanger it again?" asked she.

"Do you really thinking Wilson is capable of something like that?" asked Jason.

"She looked at the body. "Not anymore."

"Even iif he did, did he deserve to die like this?"

"He reprogrammed the security systems, let enemies in and killed my colleagues. Soon he would have tried to kill us."

"Whatever." Shepard put away her pistol. "What now?"

"We will get to the shuttle and fly away from here. My boss wishes to see you." said Miranda.

"You mean the Illusive Man? I know that you are working for "Cerberus"."

Miranda gave Jacob one of her stares. "I should have known that you cannot be silent about something like that. Anyway let's go, boss don't want to wait.
