The ship was put on autopilot on its way to Korriban a completely unknown planet which doesn't make any sense. Kara knows for a fact she's never heard of this planet before either it doesn't exist or it hasn't been discovered yet but the ships records says otherwise apparently there was indeed an entirely new galaxy. The ship was fitted with holoterminal map of this new galaxy I really need to come up with a name I can't just keep calling it new galaxy. She'll just call it the Skyfire galaxy it's short, simple, and easy to remember.
Skyfire galaxy has a vast array of planets she has never heard Bulmora, Tyron, and Drumo Kass. She even used the harddrive with all of the krypotain knowledge which she procured from kal's lair there was nothing she typed in all of the names of the planets and it showed nothing. Now she is interested whoever this person is they hold a great deal of power to be able to contact across another galaxy. Hopefully this ship can take her back to her Earth has plans for it including her hatred towards a certain government agent hasn't dimishest in fact it has only grown.
The only reason she isn't dead yet like a certain Cat is because she wants her to suffer first before she kills her. She will watch as I take everything she has ever loved and care about and it starts with her home planet Earth. Unfortunately she can't afford to be reckless true she has found a way to protect herself from her one weakness but she cannot conquer Earth without an army. The alien prison might be a good place but considering she has helped put most of them it is unlikely they will listen to me and Non not a chance in hell he was never family he will die as well.
This will require patience and finesse I need to be the scalpel not the broken chainsaw. She went inside one of the rooms it had a queen sized bed and a desk next to it and two shelves with books on them across from the bed. She didn't need food her alien physiology gave her all the nutrients required but her solar reserves were still charged to last only a day at least. She needs to use them sparingly once she gets to this planet Korriban she doesn't know anything about the person who contacted her except he or she seems to know who I am. She could go days without any sleep all she would need is just a few minutes of it.
She walked into the to one of the shelves browsing the books she isn't sure how long the trip is might as well kill some time while I am here. She spotted several books of history, science, literature, and technology both interesting and uninteresting one was titled 'FALL OF THE SITH EMPIRE' 'HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN DROID' and another titled 'HISTORY OF THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC' but there was one book that interested Kara the most.
She grabbed a book title the order of the sith volume one it was old and covered in dust but she could still clearly seeing the words due to her microscopic vision.
She carefully controlled her strength wiping the dust off of the book. She doesn't want to destroy the book she isn't sure but she can just feel that it is important to her somehow. After all with knowledge there is power she is what most would call bookworm having an intense hunger for knowledge that is never ending.
She sat down on the queen sized bed opening the book and what she found already interested her it had at least 12 chapter to it. It had fundamental basics of the order, the sith's history of how they came to be she assumed. Force abilities curious she turned the pages to that chapter she read about there is this unique energy field called the force all around us in the water we drink, the air we breathe. There are people who have force sensitivity are able to do telekinesis, read other people's emotions, and use it to enhance themselves making them strong. How there are two order called the Jedi and sith who have been at war with each other for centuries. The Jedi used the light side of the force and the sith used the dark side of the force.
Kara frown had a skeptical look on her face about all of this being true she finds it hard to believe that there is this so called energy field that is the creation of all life. The abilities you can use are fascinating the potential of what you could do with that kind of power. She knew she wasn't a god yet that's why she stole of the kryptonian tech from Kal-el's to make herself stronger omnipotent.
She read through the pages some more learning about both orders she didn't learn a whole lot about the Jedi order which makes sense considering the book is titled the sith order not the Jedi Order. What she did learn is that the Jedi are warriors of peace fighting for justice and for the preservation of all life. Another thing she learned about both of the order is that they used a traditional weapon called a lightsaber. A high heated plasma laser made from something called kyber crystals each crystal had a certain color to them. The Jedi's lightsabers mainly consisted of green and blue while the sith were red and purple both orders had to earn them through a set of trials.
What kara learned about the sith order is definitely something she would be most eager to learn how to do. It said the sith order had an array of abilities that were most unnatural ranging from manipulating life itself, immortality, and force lightning. She found out there were two types of class warriors and inquisitors. Well I suppose technically 4 she found out there were two kinds of warrior classes and two types of inquisitors.
There were sorcerer and assassin for the inquisitors. Sorcerers mainly focused on unnatural healing rituals and force lightning. Healing rituals seems like what it meant early when it said immortality they use the force to extend their life spans to life longer. They could even stop themselves from being killed if someone were to try to murder them.
The Warrior class were made more for brute force taking on the front lines they were considering the most dangerous type of adveries. They were more skilled in lightsaber practice than force abilities unlike the inquisitors. She searched through pages seeing if it said how to access these abilities after reading the entire book 8 times already she closed the book realizing it was getting her nowhere it appeared the book is less technical and more historical.
Kara heard the ship beep exiting the room she looked out the window to see that she had arrived on korriban.
"I thought I told you to wait until I got Superman out of his own fortress." Hank scolded.
It was pretty easy to get him out of their with the ability to phase through solid objects but what he saw surprised he saw the main computer was a complete wreck and kelex was destroyed.
It was Kara he doesn't know why she did it he knows for a fact it wasn't personal maybe attacking her cousin sure but destroying Kelex and trashing the main computer it doesn't add up they were targeted specifically. Why?
Alex scowled annoyed she is really not in the mood for another lecture from Hank something was seriously wrong with Kara she heard someone calling her name that sent red flags off in her head. Was her sister being mind controlled? Possible but she appeared to be in control of her actions when she saw her.
"I couldn't afford to wait alright!" Alex snapped. "My sister said she was hearing someone calling her name."
Hank's angry was gone for a moment.
"What are you talking about?" Hank demanded.
"It's exactly like I told you Kara said she heard someone calling her name." Alex answered
"Calling her name?" Hank repeated rubbing his chin in thought.
"Do you think It's possible she's under some form of mind control?" Alex asked hoping Hank would have an answer.
"No, if she was under some form of mind control there would be a psychic imprint life behind and I haven't detected any." He explained.
"Then what is going on with her?" Alex inquired fear and worry in her tone.
"I think I have an idea what's going on with her." Superman finally spoke for the first time this everything Kara had said to him gave him a lot to think about.
Hank and Alex turned their attention to the man of steel.
"What the hell is going with my sister?" Alex demanded walking straight up to him.
Superman sighed. "It's called red kryptonite it's a substance that releases your inhibitions when you come into contact with it."
"But she intentional trap you into your own fortress using a red sunlight grenade it was well thought out and cleverly planned." Hank complimented impressed.
"Exactly." Superman agrees,"It's possible someone created a different variation of it."
"And who do we know that has been trying to kill Kara this whole time?" Hank rhetorically asks.
"Maxwell Lord." Alex answers an angry scowl on her face.
"Wasn't that the guy I saved from Reactron?" Clark asks.
Hank nods. "Yeah you could say he's Kara's Lex Luthor."
Clark groaned in annoyance that just said 'great now there's two of them'
"Attacking my sister with a clone is one thing but drugging her is another matter entirely." Alex snarled she wasn't angry she was livid how dare he after Kara chose to release him he stabs her in the back for her kindness.
"Alex." Hank warned raising his hand. "I know that you are upset but we don't have any evidence yet we are just going to talk to him first."
Alex scowled but didn't say anything knowing Hank was right they needed vital proof before they could do anything.
"Hank could you do me a favor and let me talk to Alex alone for a minute." Clark politely asks.
"Sure." Hank said leaving the room knowing whatever it was it is between Alex and Clark not him.
"I just want to say I'm sorry." Clark apologizes.
"For what?" Alex asked confused. "This isn't your-"
"You misunderstand." Clark intercepted cutting her off. "I wanted to apologize for dropping Kara off on your family if I hadn't had done that Jermiah would have never been taken."
"Clark what happened wasn't your fault." Alex assures. "She was the best sister I could have asked for."
"And she was my cousin." He countered. "It should have been my responsibility, not yours. Hank informed me all that has happened in my absence. How your mother pushed you to protect your sister when it should have been me. It was one of my greatest mistakes I regretted and now it is coming back on me."
"Clark what happened between you and my sister inside the fortress of solitude." Alex questioned.
Clark winced. "The truth."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TALKED ME INTO DOING THIS!" Winn yelled.
James winced under Winn's loud voice is reaction is perfectly understandable he is reacting to Kara killing Ms. Grant. He's not sure he has quite reacted to it yet what she just did. It was like he was inside his worst nightmare that he can't wake up from but James knew it is real. They agreed to cover this all up by hiding the body it's already safely locked inside James trunk. He knew a good spot to hide it there were two shovels in the backseat to bury the body.
If this got out to the public there would be mass panic and they couldn't afford that. They both agreed to cover this up for now and find a way to put Kara back to normal. The look in her eyes it wasn't the same woman he knew this was someone who is filled with Hatred, anger, sadistic pleasure for violence, and a lust for power.
"I know you don't like the idea of covering up a dead person." James said trying to calm Winn down.
It did little to reassure him.
"This isn't just any regular dead person though this Cat Grant for crying out loud our boss. If we get caught with her body the police will think we did." Winn snapped.
"And if we don't do anything about it. What then? Huh?" James argued.
Winn was silent hands covering his eyes.
"I just can't believe she-she-she." Winn cried voice cracking.
"I know." James agreed. "We need to cover this up or else the city will never trust Supergirl again."
"What about afterwards? When we get Kara back to normal? What then?" Winn asked.
James paused for a moment, what would they do if Kara was back to normal? Do they tell her what she did? Would she even remember?
"I don't know." He confessed. He really had no idea what to do? Should this just be buried left alone forgotten forever?
James shook his head that would never work Alex would find out sooner or later Winn doesn't exactly have a reputation for keeping secrets.
"We keep quiet about this for as long as we can." James said.
Winn nodded. The Kara he knows isn't a murder maybe it is best she doesn't know about any of this but the look on her face as she killed Ms. Grant she enjoyed. Was Kara always like this? Lying about who she really was? Manipulating us? He didn't want to believe it but he can't get rid of the memory of Kara's hand going through Cat's chest ripping her heart out the look of pure sadistic pleasure and laughter will prevent him from ever sleeping again.
Alex Managed to arrive at Maxwell Lord's building with several DEO agents but to her surprise, there was a yellow tape police line. Alex parking her car and getting out to see what was going on.
"I'm sorry ma'am but you can't be here this a crime scene." A police officer informed.
"Alex Danvers FBI." Alex said raising her fake FBI badge as verification.
The officer groaned. "Of course you would only arrived to help when an important figure like Maxwell Lord."
Alex blinked. "I'm sorry but did you just say Maxwell Lord is missing." Making sure she heard that right.
"Yeah I thought that was the reason you come here." The officer asked confused.
"We get a lot of unverified reports we weren't sure what we were walking into until we got here." Alex smoothly lied.
The officer snorted. "Well now you know."
"How exactly do you know if Mr. Lord is missing?" Alex asked confused if he was the one who made the red kryptonite why would he run it isn't his style.
"We got a phone call from one of his scientists saying that was nowhere to be seen. We even tried to call his home he didn't answer we already searched his house he wasn't there." The officer explained.
Alex paused for a moment this isn't Maxwell Lord he is never the type to run. If someone did kidnap him there is a bigger piece of the puzzle she is missing here.
"Thank you for your time officer…."
"Detective Maggie Sawyer." Detective Sawyer said introducing herself.
"Detective Sawyer your help is most appreciated." Alex thanked.
Meggie nodded while Alex began to walk out of earshot to call Hank.
"Hank It appears we've got ourselves another problem Maxwell Lord." She informs
"Wait you're telling me Maxwell Lord is missing are you sure?" Hank asks.
"Yeah." Alex confirmed she didn't need eyes to see that Hank was obviously rubbing his face in frustration.
"Please tell me that we have some kind of lead to where he is." Hank pleaded.
"No the police already searched his home and he wasn't there." Alex answered just as annoyed as Hank Kara being infected with Red kryptonite, Maxwell Lord going missing it can't be a coincidence it is all connected somehow.
"Get back to the DEO we have to figure out where he is. As much as I hate to admit he might be the only one who can fix what has been done to Kara.
It was dark and cold out. Kara hated the cold she absolutely loathed it she much preferred the heat yellow sunlight touching her skin feeling rejuvenated, faster, stronger, more invincible. She loved the heat wanting to do nothing but bathe in the sunlight all day. She had no powers on this planet she was essentially powerless whoever this person is he or she better be here. It made her feel weak not being under a yellow sun on Earth she was a god to its inhabitants. Here on this planet called Korriban she was just a regular kryptonian scientist. She wasn't entirely vulnerable she was still stronger and faster not by a large margin compared to a baseline human but she still far smarter than the most brilliant minds put together and her senses were stronger.
There is one benefit not being under a yellow sun anymore she no longer heard all of the humans whining, complaining, and constant screaming for help. It was pathetic listening to all of their problems complaining about how hard they're life is. Humanity was too weak to even help themselves they think they had it hard she lost her entire home. All of it, her culture, religion, her family and friends they've had it easy compared to what she has gone through.
That is why she will achieve her destiny of preserving her species survival and not stand idly by and allow the humans to try and exterminate them.
This planet land was mostly sand and dust and had some old structures that had to have been here for centuries a millennium at least. Their were red quilts with some sort of round symbol on them it's the same one I read from the book she realized remembering the book had the same exact symbol. This place must be where the sith order was formed Kara deduced it was a logical assumption whoever this person is he must be a sith lord. If that's true then where was everyone? It's an order right that must mean there would be members dozens maybe even hundreds if what she found in the book is true?
She was still very skeptical about this so called force but who is she to judge she has powers that usually would exist in comic books. If she could do the impossible then she will give this so called force the benefit of the doubt. It still seems really childish to her that there are these two opposing orders fighting each other if that's true how come she has never heard of them until now. Krypton explored around 27 galaxies and not a single one of them had a planet named Korriban but she can't ignore the evidence right in front of her eyes.
She found stairs next to the quilts leading towards somewhere underground it was some sort of temple. She felt some sort of pull towards it to go down the stairs and explore the temple she isn't sure how to describe this feeling it was odd indeed but followed this feeling down the stairs.
The temple was old and all overgrown with cobwebs and skeletons of long dead people.
"Hello." Kara called out but got no response walking further down the corridor.
She found a red glowing pyramid in the middle of them room.
'Ok I am definitely getting temple of doom vibes here right not' Kara mused thoughtfully.
The red pyramid was the same pull she felt earlier when entering the temple it was calling out to her.
She started walking closer to it until she was in reach but hesitated. It could be a trap of some kind by the person who was calling my name. She could easily just grabbed the strange glowing object faster than the human eye can blink if she still had her powers. She began looking around the pyramid to look for any traps she didn't see a pressure plate of any kind. She picked up a rock in one hand finger twitching getting ready to grab the pyramid she grabbed the pyramid replacing it with a rock.
Nothing happened.
Kara sighed in relief then suddenly pyramid's glow became ten times brighter than before. 'I may have just jinxed myself' she thought. Being met with a flash of red light.
Kara opened her eyes to be met with a blue hologram of a woman she couldn't tell if she was a human woman or kryptonian or another unknown alien species that looked similar. Since humans haven't even invent a way to space travel and most kryptonians are dead Kara assumed this woman was another alien species. She had to be around Kara's height 5'5 and had black hair and yellow eyes that seemed unnatural in appearance. The woman was wearing some form of robes black and had a gray metal hilt on the left side of her hip.
"Kara Zor-El I must give you my many thanks for activating me." The hologram said speaking in a motherly polite tone.
"What are you? I know you are not a recording so you must be some sort of AI." She demanded.
"Aren't you a quick one." The hologram chuckled impressed she knew she found the perfect apprentice the moment she laid eyes on her. She was smart, beautiful, passionate, and strong in the force. There were a few flaws in her she was impulsive and act irrationally if someone were to press her buttons but that could work to her advantage.
Kara rolled her eyes it didn't go unnoticed by her. The hologram started off with compliment obviously in an attempt to lower her guard feel more secure. Whoever this was they hold a great deal of power, intelligence, and manipulative anyone who is naive or stupid would just beamed up at the praise they were getting. Kara was neither of those things she knew when someone was trying to manipulate her it has happened to her far too often with her so called human associates. They were never her friends the only reason they kept her around is because she was useful.
"You are right I am not a recording. I am an AI created by Darth Nox a Lord of the Sith who passed away a long time ago. Who transported his knowledge inside this holocron so that a worthy apprentice would find it." The hologram explained.
"How long?" She inquired curious but still exercising caution against the AI.
"Too long. I have been stuck inside this temple for centuries." The hologram answered vaguely.
Kara raised a skeptical eyebrow. "I take you are going to teach me the ways of the sith. About this energy field called the force."
"Your skepticism is understandable my child but the force is very much real. It is a very powerful the sith have used for millennials besides with powers like yours is it really that hard to believe." The hologram argued.
"Fair enough." Kara conceded. "I'll bite since you are the one that called my name. I am going to assume you want to teach me the ways of the Sith.
"You would be correct my child not only that you are strong in the force but you have the powers of a god combine with the power of the dark side of the force you will be unstoppable." The hologram explained.
"This so called dark side of the force. How do I know if it is even real?" Kara asked suspiciously she isn't just going to believe this AI just because she told her and found a book regarding some information about the basics this could all be some kind of trick or the book is just some sort of urban legend.
"You are still skeptical my child understandable you have no reason to believe me so allow me to explain from a scientific standpoint." The hologram said speaking in a soft tone of voice to reassure her. "We have a connection to the force through a symbiotic relationship from a substance in our blood called midichlorians."
"These midichlorians if they exist how come krypton has never noticed it inside our blood stream? Wait a minute, how do you even you I am a kryptonian in the first place and how were you able to find me?" Kara questioned curiosity in her voice but still lining with a bit of suspicion.
"I was able to find you because you were able to tap into the dark side of the force for a little bit. Surely you have noticed the increase strength with all of your krypotain abilities." The hologram stated. It wasn't a question.
Kara nodded. It was the only logical conclusion it would explain her increase in strength, speed, cold breath, and purple heat vision. If that's true then all of the other abilities must be real telekinesis, force lightning, and healing rituals the possibilities would be limitless. The book said it was only the basics of what a Sith Lord could do having the power to manipulate life itself but still….
"What's the catch?" She asked curiously skepticism gone about the force she's not stupid there is always a price to something.
The hologram grinned. "No catch only in return you serve as my apprentice and learn the ways of the Sith."
She narrowed her eyes at that she couldn't tell if it was lying or not even if she did have her powers that would be useless against a hologram due to it not having a heart. She knew it was telling the truth about this force so called energy that surrounds all living beings.
"What exactly are the Sith and Jedi Order?" She asked curiously wanting to know the difference between the orders.
"The Sith use the power of the force to free themselves while the Jedi use the force to maintain peace." The hologram explained giving a brief description.
Kara had a bored look on her face "They sound the same."
That got a reaction out the hologram it's friendly expression turned into a scowl.
"We are nothing like the Jedi." The hologram spat. "The Jedi chose to hide their emotions under the force while we choose to control our emotions using the force to make us stronger."
"The force can be tapped into through emotions?" Kara asked.
"No not always through emotions the Jedi tap into the force by reaching out with mediation." The hologram corrects.
"So the Jedi tap into the light side of the force while the Sith use the dark side of the force?" Kara assumed.
The hologram nodded. "Yes we Sith choose to explore the mysteries of the force while the Jedi merely suppressed their emotions out of fear of the unknown."
Kara snorted in disgust. "The Jedi sound pathetic they refuse to learn the ways of the forces out of fear of what they might find."
"Correct. We Sith are passionate about our goals using our emotions to strengthen ourselves emotions such as your anger and hate. You burning passion for knowledge and need to become stronger" The hologram nodded in approval.
Refusing to learn more about this force because they fear the unknown the Sith sounded a lot more appealing right now. They don't fear the unknown instead they embrace it head on learning more about this force.
"If I take a blood sample where will I find these midichlorians?" She inquired.
"My ship will have all the equipment necessary just take a sample of your blood and it will analyze how high your midichlorians are. People who are force sensitive must have a count higher than 10,000 I think you will be surprised how high your count is." The hologram informs.
Kara nodded.
30,000 that was how high Kara's midichlorians levels were after she grabbed a syringe and took a sample of her blood. This meant she would have a stronger connection to the force than any other force sensitive being in the galaxy. The chance to become far more powerful than she already was all too appealing for her but this dead Darth Nox didn't exactly spell trustworthy to her. A small part of her mind argued that this Darth Nox fellow a master of the Dark side of the force was evil but dark didn't necessarily mean evil did it.
The opportunity was too good of a chance to pass up but that's the whole reason she was hesitating all that power must come at some sort of price. The only kind of price Darth Nox said was in return to serve as her apprentice but Kara's new lust for power and knowledge. You all know the old saying with knowledge there is power and the chance at learning these unique abilities will be an excellent new key in her arsenal. She was also interested in the power of immortality she knew was already immortal but only as long as she was under a yellow sun and the sun would burn out eventually in a billion years.
She could accepted Darth Nox teachings and learn the ways of the sith on Earth but she would have to constantly be on the run. The second option is that she will learn on the planet Korriban it was far away from Earth they would never be able to find her. The planet was quiet and had no species inhabiting as far as Kara could tell. Or she could handle this herself take over Earth by releasing all of the aliens she put in prison they were unlikely to listen to her due to she being the very reason they were locked up in the first place. They might listen to her out of fear but it was still highly unlikely to work her Aunt Astra could barely keep them in line as it is.
Oh yeah I almost forgot Alex she was planning to get her revenge by telling her all that she really felt and saw her as. She wanted her to know everything she has ever loved and cared about will burn she is going to do her because nothing drives a person more crazy than paranoia.
That would be unwise my apprentice.
"Who's there?" She demanded looking around the ship only to find no one was there.
It is I Darth Nox I am speaking through telepathically through our force bond.
"Force bond?" Kara asked confusion and interest in her voice.
Yes it is an ability Jedi and Sith develop for both the Master and apprentice. You are able to do it as well just close your eyes and concentrate.
Kara followed Darth Nox instructions closing her eyes and concentrated.
Like this. Kara telepathically spoke.
Good you learn quickly my apprentice. Darth Nox praised.
Kara scowled. I don't remember saying yes to becoming your apprentice.
Correct you never said yes but you didn't say no either. Darth Nox reasoned.
Kara conceded that Darth Nox had a point.
Why thank for the compliment Darth Nox mocked in a sing song voice.
You can read my mind? Kara asked uncomfortably not liking how someone could just know everything she is thinking.
No I am merely able to read and feel your emotions. You just unintentionally told me through our force bond. Darth Nox explained.
Oh How did I form this force bond? Kara asked.
It was formed the moment you touched my holocron. Darth Nox informed.
How do I undo the force bond? Kara demanded.
It is very simple to do all you have to do is reach out with the force to sever the bond but I must warn when a bond is severed it will be an immensely painful. Darth Nox warned.
Kara paused conflicted. Why are you hesitating at the chance of power? A small part of her mind asked but another part of her mind argued. Don't do it a part of you still knows this is wrong, you have to see it. It was true a part of her still felt that what she is doing is wrong but all felt so right at the same time.
If you decide to keep our force bond then I will know you have chosen to become my apprentice. If you have severed it then I will know you have refused to become my apprentice and missed at a chance of power. Darth Nox warns that she will be most disappointment if you refuse this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Kara doesn't make a decision to become Darth Nox's apprentice or not instead plugging in the ships coordinates to Earth
"I found Maxwell Lord." Superman informs as soon Alex told him Maxwell Lord missing he used the fortress of solitude technology to locate despite it being damaged he was able to locate by using a small sample of his DNA Alex gave to locate where he is.
"Where is he?" James inquired curious despite having an obvious distaste for the man he doesn't want him dead. He and Winn were able to hide Ms. Grant's body without drawing any sorts of attention James was pretty good keeping a straight face and a decent liar due to being Superman's best friend for years. Winn on the other head was acting incredibly nervous and suspicious Hank and Alex both noticed his behavior when they tried to talk to him but James stepped covering for him. The only reason they didn't interrogate Winn some more was because they had bigger problems right now.
"He appears to be in some kind of forest, underground an old mine." Clark answered.
"Why would Maxwell Lord be in a mine?" Alex demanded.
"He wouldn't. Someone has kidnapped him the real question we should be asking is why?" Hank concludes.
"I guess we better find out." Superman said getting ready to leave and rescue Maxwell Lord again.
"Wait if someone kidnap Maxwell Lord you may need some backup there's no telling what you might find." Hank warned.
"No time Maxwell Lord created this Red kryptonite he might be the only one who can cure Kara of it." Superman argued already flying out of the DEO.
Only to arrive a moment later with Maxwell Lord.
"Wow that was quick." Winn remarked.
"Well when you have Superspeed you tend to get the job done fast." Superman quibs.
"This is the second time you helped me thank you Superman." Maxwell said expressing his gratitude.
"You can help by curing my cousin of your botched up lab experiment." Superman coldly said.
Maxwell winced looking ashamed. "Yeah that was never intended for supergirl."
"Whoever it was intended for I don't care all care about is getting my sister back." Alex coolly said.
"Sir we've got another problem." A DEO agent informs.
Hank sighed. "What is it?"
"An unidentified object is entering our atmosphere." The agent answered.
"What kind of flying object?" Hank inquired.
"Were not sure sir but we can tell you it is definitely alien." The agent vaguely answered.
Hank groaned in pain hand on his chest.
"Sir are you okay?" Alex asked concerned quickly walking over to Hank hand on his shoulder.
No he isn't Hank has felt something he hadn't felt in a long time a great evil has returned.
I am telling you my young apprentice this petty and stupid. Darth Nox warns
Kara scowled. She hated being called stupid but she understood that Darth Nox had a valid point.
Let me rephrase you are incredibly clever and highly intelligent from what I've seen but you can't allow your personal feelings for revenge towards Alex Danvers to get in your way. Darth Nox praising Kara's strengths but also pointing out her weaknesses as well.
How do I stop myself from talk telepathically? Kara demanded annoyed at Darth Nox hearing everything she is thinking.
Darth Nox sighed. All you need to do is lessen your concentration.
Can you hear my now Kara thought.
No response.
That's good she really she didn't like having a voice in her head that could hear everything she is thinking.
Kara suddenly realized how that sounded.
Kara groaned. "Great now I sound like a crazy person."
Apprentice I had an idea you allow yourself to be captured could work to our advantage. Darth Nox informed.
Let me guess to break everyone out. Kara easily deduces.
Yes if we do that we could gain some followers strong in the force I will not allow the Sith order legacy to be the heresy order of Bane. Darth Nox hissed.
Order of Bane? Kara inquired curiously.
Yes it is a botched version of the Sith empire that was destroyed by the Jedi. Darth Bane created the rule of two a master and an apprentice no more no less. The one who has the power and the one who craves it. Darth Nox explained spatting at even the mention of Darth Bane.
Kara snorted. I would hardly call only having two Sith Lords much of an order.
Precisely. Darth Nox agrees. Darth Bane and his apprentice Darth Zannah created a legacy of hiding in the shadows manipulating things behind the scenes planning their revenge but they are no longer true Sith but you my apprentice have the ability to rebuild the sith empire back to its former glory.
I hate to rain on your parade but you're forgetting I am the one who put most of them away and my mother is the one who put them in the phantom zone. Kara argued.
Then make them afraid of you. Fear is an excellent way to keep them in line. Darth Nox informed.
Yes that might work on some of them but the rest is not so easily intimidation. Kara told her.
Kara you are a smart girl you just need to pull their strings it is the way of the sith. Darth Nox complimented.
I have considered it but I have little to no experience pulling people strings. She excused.
Do you forget who your talking to? I can teach you how. If Darth Nox was here right now Kara is pretty sure she would see her rolling her eyes.
Kara smiled. Really thank you Darth Nox.
Unknown to Kara Darth Nox was smirking Hook, Line, and Sinker. It was relatively easy to get Kara to listen to her preying on her need for revenge and thirst for knowledge it was easy as pie.
"Have you finished the cure?" Alex demanded impatiently.
"Yes it should turn her back to normal." Maxwell Said handing Alex the ray gun device that should purge Kara of the Red kryptonite.
"This better work." Alex growled taking the device in her hands.
"It will I promise." Maxwell swore.
Alex took the device but not before Maxwell Lord said one last thing.
"If it's any constellation I'm sorry I never intended for any of this to happen."
Alex turned to glance at Maxwell Lord to see that he had genuine remorse and regret on his face.
"Yes well I suppose it doesn't matter now." Alex replied exiting the room.
"Director Henshaw the device is ready." Alex told him.
"Good I say we investigate the ship that was entering our atmosphere." Hank suggested.
"What makes you think Kara is on that ship?" Alex asked curious and confused.
"Just a feeling." Hank cryptically answered.
Alex felt annoyed at Hank's vague answer but didn't press further and got a team of DEO agents to investigate the ship. She isn't sure where her sister went exactly so investigating the space ship seems like the best option for now
The ship had landed on a similar where it last landed (crashed?) Kara walked on the landing pad exiting ship to only be revealed with several DEO agents Alex was among them good. It would certainly have been more fun to cause a little chaos to get her attention but this works as well.
"Well I must say this is a surprise I expected Director Henshaw to be here how disappointing." Kara remarked at only seeing Alex and a few DEO agents.
"He isn't here I asked to give me a chance to talk to you first." Alex answered tilting her head to the side. Technically speaking it is true she wanted to give it one more try to get through to her and if that doesn't work Hank will have the element of surprise using the cure on her.
Kara noticed Alex tilting her head slighting she gave a quick glance from behind using her X-ray vision she saw Hank hiding behind a pile of rocks crouched down with a weapon of some kind. Kara inwardly scoffed at this your a Government agent Alex your whole life is about keeping secrets and you just gave away the element of surprise. If she didn't have the intention of allowing herself to be captured she would show Alex and the rest of her agents the error of her mistake.
"Where did you get the ship?" Alex questioned.
"Found it." Kara vaguely states like it is the most obvious thing in the world.
Alex groaned first Hank now Kara. "I asked where not how."
Kara saw Hank approaching a bit closer certainly taking his sweet time now aren't you?
"Fine I found it in a similar place like this a desert." Kara honestly answers.
Be careful not to give away too much information my apprentice. Darth Nox warns.
Relax it's not like I am going to confess my deepest darkest secrets to her. Kara assures her.
"Your saying you just found in a desert. You talked about hearing someone calling your name is that someone inside her ship." Alex pressed for information she knows from Clark that Red K doesn't create hallucinations or start hearing voices inside your head. Could it be someone else on the ship with Kara? Or is it simply the side effects of Maxwell Lord man made Red K? Alex isn't sure what that's why she is asking Kara to help narrow it down.
Kara ignored the question. "Only kryptonite bullets not going to use the exact same sword you used to stab my aunt through the heart."
Alex flinched guilt overwhelming her she never intended to kill Astra she just wanted to stop her from killing Jonn. She never wanted to bring kryptonite bullets either and she didn't agree with Jonn to just use darts on her sister just in case she was still very reluctant to using them right at this moment even though clearly her sister was unwell.
"We're not loaded with Kryptonite bullets." Alex informs.
"So instead you're using darts. Great that makes me feel a lot better." Kara drawled sarcastically.
"I only want to help you Maxwell Lord- "
"Your working with Maxwell Lord." She intercepted. "To think I thought you couldn't hit another low."
"I am only working with Maxwell Lord because he is the reason your like this." Alex tries to explain. "Kara listen to me were family do really think you would be saying all these things."
"You're not my family nor are you my friend." She sneered.
"Kara-"
"I'm not finished." She interrupted pacing back and forth. "There is a key difference between a good friend and a bad one. A good friend always tells the truth, doesn't manipulate them, and doesn't kill a member of their family." Kara smirked when she notice Alex winced. "The reason I am acting this way because I had a new friend making me realize the truth that you only pretend to care about me because I am useful."
"Kara that's not true." Alex denies.
"Really." Kara raised an unimpressed eyebrow. "Alright then maybe I should remind all of the times you have lied to me. There was that time about being a DEO agent then when I decided to reveal myself to the world you sick a bunch of DEO agents on me. The only reason you even allowed me to be a hero was out of pragmaticism I would be useful for the rest of humanity. You went on mission behind my back without keeping me in the loop, and not to mention you lied about being the one who killed aunt Astra."
Kara didn't even get a chance to finish her rant until she was blasted by Hank Henshaw hitting the hard and dusty surface with a thud.
"You okay?" Hank asked Alex noticing her pain expression of guilt.
"No." Alex answered honestly. "I know she was drugged but some of the things she said were I have been a ter-" Alex didn't get chance to finish until Kara started shaking like crazy almost as if she is experiencing a seizure.
Alex quickly ran over to her trying to stop her from shaking.
"What's happening to her?" Alex desperately asked Jonn for help worried her sister might actually die not wanting their last conversation to be a fight.
John didn't answer it is up to her to fight this.
Kara's Mindscape
There is only one question flying through Kara's mind. What have I done? All of the horrible things she just said she can move past from that and repair her relationship with her friends but they'll never look at her the same again. She didn't know what she was thinking killing Ms. Grant but she remembered it all the anger, rage, and untold amounts of hatred she had toward heard. The sick pleasure and satisfaction at the look of fear, shock, and betrayal on her face she didn't feel an ounce of remorse or regret doing it.
However, right now she felt nothing but shame, guilt, and regret at doing it she just can't believe she killed Ms. Grant in cold blood. She can use the excuse that Red kryptonite made her do all those things but it was inside her the entire time the parts of her she keeps better forgotten There were times working for Ms. Grant felt incredibly frustrated she would go as far as to say she hated her but never out loud. Kara simply wasn't the type to hate she wanted to forgive and forget to see the good in others.
"You can still change things for the better." A voice said.
Kara turned around to see herself in some kind of robes colored brown and white with a hood. Kara isn't sure how but this one seems older and wiser like she has decades of experience under her (my?) belt.
"You've made mistakes sure but who hasn't you can still change things for the better." Light Kara argued.
"I don't know about that I just killed an innocent woman in cold blood." Kara countered ashamed of herself.
"The road to redemption is long and hard but you need to have a little hope inside yourself." Light Kara defends.
Before Kara could even get a chance to respond another voice called out but instead of being calm and gentle this one was dark and sinister it didn't even sound remotely close to human.
"Don't listen to her." A demonic voice yelled.
Kara turned to see herself in dark and grey robes the other Kara's face she could clearly see but this one is wearing a mask. Kara can't tell if the mask has a voice modulator to it or if this is her doppelgangers actually voice.
"She is trying to dampen your true potential just like Alex." Dark Kara argued.
"My sister isn't like that." Kara defended.
"Oh really what about all those times-"
"Enough Sith Kara will not listen to any of your lies and seductive pull to the dark side." Light Kara interrupted.
"Oh really like the Jedi are any better how they run away from their emotions keeping them buried under lock and key." Dark Kara countered.
Light Kara snorts. "It certainly is a lot better than being selfish and greedy."
At this point the two were arguing non stop back and forth eventually Kara couldn't take it anymore.
"BE QUIET!" Kara screamed.
The two jumped at Kara's loud voice.
Kara sighed. "Now will the two of you tell what exactly are you? Or more specifically who are you?"
Light side Kara coughed. "Well to put it simply we are the-"
"We are essentially what you have the potential to become either the weak and predictable Jedi or the almighty, powerful and wise Sith." Dark Kara finished.
Kara frowned at Dark Kara's words.
Light Kara scoffed. "Wise please you don't know the meaning."
"Your one to talk you claim to know so much about the force and you refuse to learn more about it instead serving the Galactic Republic instead of the will of the force." Dark Kara retorted.
"We don't serve just the Galactic Republic but also serve the will of the force." Light Kara defended.
"Exactly you are so strained trying to do both you still haven't learn your lesson about adapting to the new times. We sith may have been enemies but at least you chose to serve the people of the republic instead of the corrupt senators." Dark Kara Explained.
"So I take it you are here to help me make the decision of whether to become a Jedi or a Sith." Kara interrupted before they started arguing again.
Dark Kara grinned evilly. "Exactly so what are you going to do become a Jedi that are predictable that refuse to expand their knowledge or will you become a Sith that has the power to literal cheat death itself stopping those you care about from dying and always eager to learn the ways of the force."
Now that Kara was no longer under the influence of Red Kryptonite she is thinking a lot more clearly now. The idea of being a Sith Lord suddenly got a lot less appealing now but still very appealing. She doesn't know enough about the Jedi to trust her since Darth Nox has answered all of her questions honestly with evidence to prove it. The Jedi on the other hand has given her no reason to trust them. The Sith sound just evil but just because something seems dark doesn't necessarily mean evil take Batman for instance he is superhero despite his questionable methods.
The Jedi however Kara repressed the urge to vomit they sound a lot like her home world krypton when they become arrogant believing they had reached perfection when their plenty of things you can still learn. The sith sound like people who are always eager to learn new knowledge and putting it to good use but they do sound power hungry. Actually now that Kara thinks about most of their knowledge revolves around gaining power but to be fair knowledge is power.
Kara felt torn, conflicted at what to chose.
"You can't actually be considering taking what the sith offer!?" Light Kara exclaimed.
"What the Sith offer Kara is the path of knowledge to learn elevate herself to new heights unlike the so called Jedi who have gotten complacent and predictable?" Dark Kara retorted.
No Kara didn't want to be with an order that will most likely share the same fate as krypton.
"That's exactly why you should become a Jedi returned the order to what it was so long ago." Light Kara argued.
"Please what makes you think you can do what Kal-El's father couldn't he was one of krypton's brightest minds and the council still refused to believe him with all the evidence he provided what makes you think the Jedi Order will believe you." Dark Kara countered.
Kara was between the two Kara's stuck with a tough decision the Sith seems more like the right decision what something about them gives me pause. The Jedi sure they are predictable but she should at least try to help them right?
"Enough I will not allow to continue to manipulate her." Light Kara Denied grabbing Kara's left hand white energy pulsing on it.
"No we will not allow Kara's Potential to go to waste." Dark Kara refuses grabbing Kara's right hand dark red electric energy spreading across her hand.
Both of the energies were so overwhelming Kara felt like she was going to explode.
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Kara yelled.
Outside the dreamscape.
Kara's seizures finally stopped her eyes had dark red streaks of electricity spreading across her face.
Kara Zor-El had fallen choosing the way of the sith.
The power of the Dark side.
Author Notes: I hope I did a good job of writing Kara's decision choosing the dark side of the force instead of the light. You see the Jedi would remind Kara too much about Krypton so that's why being the Sith was way more appealing to her. If you include her emotional turmoil as well Darth Nox technically has been honest with Kara so that's why she would rather be Sith as well.
I hope you liked I spent a lot of time working on it this past week. This is an idea that has been going through my mind what if Kara became a Lord of the Sith. She would be unstoppable her cells only grow stronger under a yellow sun right so that would mean her midichlorians would grow stronger over time as well.
Q/A: Do you think Kara should be a Sith Warrior or a Sith Sorcerer or both.
