Chapter 6: Rebirth

31 BBY

After collecting his new lightsaber from Dantooine Nix wanted to modify it. The original lightsaber hilt was a pure chrome handle with cone-like pummel.

Nix wanted to change out the metal of the hilt. He later discovered that there is a metal that was so tough that blaster bolts deflect off it and were resistant to the blade of a lightsaber. But the only problem was it was only found on a single planet in the Outer Rim. The metal was called Beskar Steel. The metal was used to be forged into armor and weapons.

The planet was ruled by a race of honorable warriors. But after the conflict with the Trade Federation on Naboo two parties formed on Mandalore. One side believed in the old ways of Mandalore, following the ways of Mandalore the Great. This group went by the name Death Watch, they were led by a man named Pre Vizla. The other side believed Mandalore has done enough harm already. The planet itself and near planetary bodies were ruined from the countless wars the race has been through.

Nix needed this metal. He needed a hilt as strong as him. One that couldn't be easily destroyed. So he contacted the party that was exiled to the nearby moon of Concordia. He came in contact with the current governor of Concordia, Pre Vizla, to perform quid pro quo.

They decided to meet up on Concordia, so Mandalorians could feel in control. Once on the moon, Nix walked out the Fury Interceptor. It was a month after his first kill at the age of 10. The Mandalorians were insulted by what they saw. But, they brought him to Pre Vizla anyway.

Once at Pre Vizla's estate they entered a dining room. At the far end of the table was Pre Vizla himself. They frisked Nix and found a lightsaber. The guards that frisked him pulled out dual pistols at him. Nix sighed at how paranoid they were.

"It does work idiots. I took out the power cell so it's useless." Nox said while pulling out a power cell from his pocket.

Pre Vizla called the guard that was holding the lightsaber to hand it to him. Once it was in his hands he tried to activate it but nothing happened.

"Are you Jedi?" Pre Vizla asked.

"No, I am Nix Apprentice to Darth Gohl and Acolyte of the Sith Order. And I have a proposition for you." Nix replied.

Pre Vizla was mystified he has never seen a Sith before. He was somewhat intrigued to see what this Sith was offering. He placed the lightsaber down on the table in front of him.

"What do you want Nix?"

"I only need one thing. An ingot of Beskar Steel."

"Why would you need Beskar?"

"I need a strong metal and from what I found Beskar is the strongest. It will become the new hilt to that lightsaber."

"How will you pay this ingot."

"Need a to get rid of a threat, get blackmail, or make contact with people without being connected?"

Pre Vizla was skeptical. This child came to a group of banished warriors. He needed to check if he had honor. He will also test his skills as well.

"How about a duel? You win you get the Beskar. You lose you join the Death Watch and leave your Sith Order."

Nix could read Pre Vizla like a book. He figured this would happen. They are warriors, after all, need numbers for whatever they plan. But, he wouldn't join, he was confident in his skills.

"Deal. I'll fight whoever you send me."

"Good. Now you'll fight my second in command, Bo-Katan Kryze." Vizla said while leading Nix to a small training hall after returning the lightsaber.

At the other end of the Training Hall was a person in female Mandalorian Armor. The armor was blue with what looked like owl faces on the helmet and a symbol on her shoulder piece.

She was armed with two pistols, a pair of embraces, and a jetpack with a missile at the back. She had a burning aura to her as if she needed to prove herself to someone. Pre Vizla walked up to her and whispered something in her ear.

She looked back to see Nix putting the power cell in the lightsaber. She was underwhelmed with what she saw. She whispered something back to Vizla and when he answered back she sighed. Bo-Katan turned around to walk closer to Nix.

"Ready kid?" said Bo-Katan in a modulated voice.

Nix ignited his lightsaber revealing a crimson blade."Ready as I'll ever be"

Bo-Katan quickly grabbed her blasters and activated her jetpack in one move. Once in the air, she hammered Nix in blaster fire. But, Nix blocked every shot, either redirecting them towards her or near her. This caused her to weave around when firing.

She decided to use her vanbraces and sent a loud of flames toward the Sith Apprentice. Nix pushed back the flames with the Force. When she stopped there was a come scorch mark on the floor. Nix taking the opportunity to charge at Bo-Katan. He lept into the air striking Bo-Katan's jetpack.

In a panic, she detached her jetpack and let explode over her. Once on the ground, she launched a repulsor blast at Nix pushing him back. After the blast, she shot a grappling line to wrap around her opponent. Believing she won she got closer to him.

But, once she was close enough Nix cut himself out and pulled the grappling line towards him. Bo-Katan was then pinned to the ground after Nix tripped her. As she was struggling the crimson blade came next to her helmet. She lost, to a child no less.

When Pre Vizla declared the match over Nix got off Bo-Katan and offered a hand up. She batted his hand away in disgust. The governor then walked up to Nix sticking his hand out.

"You surprised me, kid. I figured you would be joining us."

"Thanks but I came here for one reason," Nix said while shaking Pre Vizla's hand.

He nodded in response and signaled a grad to bring over the single Beskar ingot. Pre Vizla then handed it over to the Sith Apprentice. After inspecting it Nix pocketed the ingot and bowed to Pre Vizla.

"Thank you, this was the last thing I needed to complete this lightsaber."

When he was done he was escorted back to his ship and jumped into hyperspace. Once out of hyperspace he landed back onto Moraband. After exiting his ship he went straight to a forge in one of the rooms of the temple. He immediately melted the Beskar and prepared the mold for the casing. Once it was in the mold he let it sit to cool. After an hour or so he assembled the lightsaber and ignited it.

His lightsaber was complete so he showed it to his Master. Darth Gohl praised Nix for his hard work and returned the lightsaber.

"Time to prepare for the Final Test. It shall be held in 9 years. So, until then we will continue training." Darth Gohl proclaimed.

"I can't wait, Master," Nix replied while genuflecting.

22 BBY

It was a new day and the sun was rising over the red dunes of Moraband. Little did the Galaxy know was this day a new Sith Lord will rise. Nix, formally Izuku Midoriya, was meditating in his room.

For 11 years he was waiting for his final test. His training led to this day. He honed his skills to their peak. He could use the Force to suppress the Dark Side even in front of Jedi Masters. His senses were so polished he could have eyes at all sides. His eyes open to the wide Galaxy in front of him.

He couldn't thank Darth Gohl enough to train him. He saw what power he had and like any weapon forged him to reach his full potential. He was no longer Deku. He was Nix, Apprentice of Darth Gohl and an Apostle of the Sith Order.

Then the door to his chambers opened. He opened his eyes to reveal the bright emerald they hid. When his eyes reached the doorway went faced the person and genuflect. For it was his Master, Darth Gohl, standing patiently in front of him.

"Come to Nix, for today you will be reborn as Darth Nix," he said proudly to his Apprentice.

"As you command, Master."

Nix exits his sleeping quarters, gathers his gear, and follows the Sith Lord to the Training Hall. Once in the Training Hall, they reach a dueling mat. Both stand on either side of the mat.

"If you remember the Sith Oath, the Sith believe we must break our chains to be free. Well, these chains can be anything. From, mental chains to physical ones." Darth Gohl explained.

Nix understood that much but didn't understand what his Master was explaining.

"Today you break a very thick chain that you have carried for 11 years."

Then it hit him.

"You will duel me to the death. If you fail you were not worthy of the title of Darth. But, if you best me and break this chain nothing will stop you."

Darth Gohl then ignited his lightsaber. The hilt was a classic chrome handle with black highlights. His pummel was rounded with six wedges around it.

Nix in retaliation he ignited the crimson blade of his lightsaber. Part of him didn't want to do this. Darth Gohl was like a father to him. He lived, ate, and trained with him for 11 years. But, he needed to break his chains. He was not weak he would-be Sith.

The Final Test was about to begin. The Sith Lord started first with a powerful dash leading to a downward slash. Nix countered with an overhead block. Darth Gohl continued to push down on Nix. The Apprentice moved his lightsaber blade so his Master's blade would slide down to leave an opening to an attack.

But Gohl predicted this, so as his blade was falling he went into a spinning attack to deter the Apprentice from getting closer. Once Nix backed off they went into another standoff.

Both charged at each other and traded strikes. Both were equally matched. Neither showed signs of fatigue. But that wasn't a good thing for Nix.

'I can't just keep charging in.' Nix thought. 'I need to prove I'm stronger.'

This time Nix made the next move. He went for a downward slash as well. But, just as his Master went to block Nix feinted into an upward slash instead. This staggered the Sith Lord enough for Nix to stab him in the chest.

It was over. Nix unignited his lightsaber and laid his Master down. He could feel him slipping away, but what surprised him was drops of water on him. So Nix lifted his hand to his face and felt the source of the water.

Tears, he hasn't cried since he left Earth. He then felt Darth Gohl's hand in his squeeze. He looked back down and noticed he was mouthing something. He leaned in closer to hear what he was saying.

"Well... you've done... it... you are... now Darth... Nix." Darth Gohl slowly whispered.

But, those were his final words and breath. Nox checked for a pulse, but there wasn't any. He cried out in pain when opened his eyes they were glowing amber. His report was complete he id officially Darth Nix, Sith Lord.

He picked up his Master's remains to his Master's sleeping quarters. After he placed him on his bed he closed the door and sealed it with his lightsaber. He was on his own now.
