Guest: true, but like with Ventress, Sidious also sees Jayden as a tool in bringing the destruction of the Jedi. But Sidious will obviously makes moves to get rid of him once Jayden has either outlived his purpose or Sidious believes Jayden is becoming too powerful. The latter of which Sidious predicts since Jayden is Revan's descendant which means he's strong with the Force and capable of being powerful in both the Light and Dark Side of the Force. And I've decided to skip the Geonosis episodes because I can't think up any ideas for it.


"Your training...is complete." Count Dooku stated as he turned to his Apprentice. They stood in the middle of Dooku's quarters in his palace. Jayden was on one knee before the Sith Lord, head bowed. "You are truly ready for this war. Henceforth, you shall now bear the name of Darth... Khan."

"Thank you, my Master." Jayden said. Ever since working with Bane in stealing the Holocron, Jayden had been finishing his training, doing stealth missions in the war and slaughtering Clone Troopers that got in his way.

"Now, I have a task for you my Young Apprentice. "Dooku said, gesturing for Jayden to rise which he did so. Dooku walked over to his desk and sat down, pressing a button which displayed the world of Mandalore, a place well known across the Galaxy with it's violent history. There was even a war thousands of years ago called the Mandalorian Wars.

"Mandalore?" Jayden asked, looking at his Master. He of course knew the history between Revan, the Shan family and the Mandalorians. After all, the mask Jayden wears, revan's old mask, once belonged to a Mandalorian warrior that feel in battle and Revan took the mask that became iconic for his time as a Sith Lord.

Dooku nodded. "The Prime Minister of Mandalore, Almec, had been reaching out to us. Almec had been attempting to undermine the current Duchess of Mandalore to restore Mandalore's warrior heritage, instead of this pacifistic neutrality approach she seems to prefer. His efforts were recently thwarted when a group of cadets discovered his actions and had him arrested."

Jayden raised an eyebrow at that, slightly impressed but baffled. "Kids?"

Dooku gave him a look. "You are merely a boy yourself, Jayden. Remember that."

Jayden shrunk a bit but nodded once. "Sorry, Master."

Dooky gave him a look but returned to the matter at hand. "I want you to travel to Mandalore and kill the four cadets responsible for Almec's imprisonment. Send a message that the Separatists will never abandon their allies." Dooku handed him a datapad. "Through a contact, I've managed to acquire the identities of the four. Do what must be done, Lord Khan, do not hesitate, show no mercy. Failure is NOT an option."

Jayden knew all too well what Dooku's punishments are like. He kept in a shiver as he remembered the punishment he endured for failing Dooku a few weeks back. The Force Lightning had been more painful than the last time.

"Master, if I may ask?" Jayden asked hesitantly but Dooku gestured for him to go ahead. "Is killing a bunch of kids necessary? Killing them would gain us nothing in this war."

"No it won't." Dooku stood and walked to the window to look out it as Jayden joined him. "But it will show me if you are ready to do what is necessary to advance the Sith cause. Mandalore may become an ally to us in the future. And I want you to prove you can be a ruthless Sith lord like those that came before you."

"I will not fail you, Master." Jayden said and walked away to go start his mission. Dooku said nothing, only staring out the window.


Patiently, Jayden waited on top of a rooftop dressed in stealth gear but had his Lightsaber ready should he need it.

Sneaking onto Mandalore had been quite easy thanks to some Separatist loyalists that Dooku spoke with. Already aware of the identities of the four cadets responsible for ratting out Almec, the young Sith was looking forward to getting some action, even if he didn't agree with killing children.

Upon arriving on Mandalore, he had looked into Almec's situation and had learned from reports that not only did four cadets take him down, but they did so with the assistance of Ahsoka Tano.

He had retrieved a list of the four cadets responsible for Almec's imprisonment: Amis, Lagos, Soniee and Korkie Kryze.

Jayden almost shook his head at that last one, at how dumb it sounded.

Moving past his personal bias, Jayden had used a communications system to relay an encoded message to each of the four. He couldn't quite remember the message, something about 'impressive work' and 'data on more Separatist activity on Mandalore', either way it was something so positively tempting that the four young adults would have no choice but to listen. He had left coordinates attached, ones that would lead the group to this very alley he was watching. And so, he had been for the past few hours, ever since he sent out the message.

He had been patient long enough for his prey to come to him. He perked up upon sensing several arrivals in the Force coming close to the alleyway he was hiding in.

"Well, this is the place." Amis mused.

"See anyone, Lagos?" Soniee asked her fellow cadet.

"No, maybe we're early?" The blonde replied.

"The message said to meet here in four hours, if anything we're on time." The blonde-haired Korkie stated. "Let's have a look around, see if they left anything for us." He suggested. Agreeing with his suggestion, the group slowly moved deeper into the alley, carefully checking around the walls and various empty crates for anything out of the ordinary... that may or may not be a message. Jayden got himself ready as the young adults passed underneath him.

Smirking, Jayden used the Force on the one at the back, Amis, causing the young cadet to choke and gasp as the other three whirled aroound, gasping in shock and horror as they watched their friend be choked to death.

"W-What's going on?!" Soniee asked with fear.

"I happened." Jayden announced as he dropped down and straightened up before the three cadets who backed up in fear. Jayden could sense it, their fear and horror. Jayden grabbed his Lightsaber and activated it, the crackling red blade humming in a unstable way due to it's cracked kyber crystal.

"A Sith!" Korkie shouted, pointed at Jayden.

Jayden gave him a look. "No, I'm a Gungan." He said sarcastically as he started to advance.

"Korkie, what do we do?" A scared Soniee asked as they back away.

"We have to contact someone... police, my aunt, anybody!" He replied. "Lagos, if we hold him off, can you get some help?"

"Got it!" She affirmed.

"I'm standing right here you idiots." Jayden said with a roll of his eyes. "I can hear your every word and sense your intentions. By the time any authorites find you...you will be dead."

"We'll see about that!" Korkie confidently responded as he charged forward and threw a quick punch, aimed at the Sith's chest but Jayden caught his fist and squeezed hard enough to crack the wrist, causing Korkie to yell in pain before he looked back. "Lagos, go!" She moved to obey just as Soniee moved in to try and grab hold of Jayden. But a swift kick to her gut instantly put her on the ground, wheezing in pain. Painfully twisting Korkie's arm, Jayden turned and threw his Lightsaber at Lagos, the red blade going through her body. She fell to her knees as Jayden called his Lightsaber back to him.

"Y-You monster!" Soniee shouted with a sob as she watched her friend be killed with no mercy or remorse.

Jayden threw Korkie aside as Jayden used the Force to choke Soniee, watching her gasp for air and choke. Jayden then looked at Korkie with a sadistic smile before he clenched his fists tightly and there was the sound of something crushing before Soniee fell down dead, throat crushed by the Sith.

"No..." Korkie whispered in horror as he looked at the bodies of his deceased friends, his fellow cadets. He looked down, sobbing with grief before he saw a red light and opened hos eyes to see the red Lightsaber lined with his throat and he slowly looked into the cold dark blue eyes of his killer. "W-Who are y-you?"

"Someone who's face is the last thing you are going to see." Jayden said before he reared his Lightsaber back and swung it down on for Korkie's neck.


The next day, on Coruscant...

When Duchess Satine contacted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine with an urgent message, Obi-Wan Kenobi just so happened to be there. As much as the Jedi Master was delighted to see his old flame, Satine's tone told him all was not well. Having been in a meeting with the Chancellor at the time, Palpatine invited Obi-Wan to stick around, knowing his recent involvement during the attempts on Satine's life. The Duchess stood before the two via a hologram.

"I thank you for taking the time to speak with me Chancellor, for something dark has happened on Mandalore." She explained.

"Your earlier communication indicated as much." Palpatine replied, knowing that Satine's worried tone could only mean that something had occurred. Mandalore was proving to be quite controversial as of late.

"First Almec and his schemes... what is it now Duchess?" Obi-Wan asked.

"The four cadets who helped in uncovering Almec's plot have been murdered."

"Murdered?" Obi-Wan was astonished, as was Palpatine.

"And it was not a simple shooting or stabbing, it was done with a Lightsaber!" Satine exclaimed. "My own nephew, Korkie, had been decapitated! The other three...they have either had their throats crushed of killed by a Lightsaber!"

"Who could be responsible for such actions?" Palpatine asked, very concerned. "Is there a Separatist presence on Mandalore? Was there a Sith there?"

"Not that I'm aware of." Santine shook her head, wiping a tear away as she mourned the loss of her nephew.

"This cannot be Ventress." Obi-Wan said, thinking it over. "I doubt Dooku would ever put her up to killing young kids. It appears he may have a new assassin, one who's making his presence known. This...may be the same person who killed Master Di during the Battle for Ryloth. The one Anakin and I encountered during Bane's thievery attempt at the Holocrons."

"The reason I'm telling you this is because I fear it may be part of something larger." Satine added. "The Separatists are gaining footholds in the galaxy and this may be part of it."

"We thank you for your concern Duchess." Palpatine thanked her. "We will do what we can should you ask of us."

"That's very kind of you Chancellor. I must go now; my family is still in shock but I believe the grief will be setting in soon enough." Satine excused herself. "Oh, one more thing Master Jedi, I'm not quite sure how to tell Padawan Tano about this development. She was close with those four, even instructed them personally."

"Don't worry Satine, I'll find a way to... break it to her." Obi-Wan reassured her. The Duchess ended her communication, leaving Obi-Wan and Palpatine to their thoughts.

"This situation is most distressing." Palpatine mused aloud.

"Indeed." Obi-Wan said grimly. If this was the work of the Sith Anakin and him encountered before, then the Jedi will have to be on the lookout..


And that's it for this chapter. Yeah, a lot of time has passed and Jayden did a lot off screen enough to be named Darth because I was out of ideas so... don't hate me for it. I hope you understand.

Trust me, like in the original, season 3 will be where Jayden shines as well as his rivalry with Ahsoka.
