Chapter One- The Dark Axis

Vader held Emperor Palpetine over the chasm, his blue bolts of chain lightning cascading throughout the room. Skywalker lay hurt from the shocks, and Vader's circuitry was slowly being decomposed inside his black shell of a body. He cast Palpetine into the abyss, and a huge flash of blue was cast into the air. Vader collapsed, as his son clambered to his aid...

Palpetine opened his eyes. He was contained in some kind of anti-gravity chamber. He heard voices, but his vision was blurred, he remembered the tretury of his former apprentice Darth Vader, but little else. All of a sudden the chamber doors opened; his vision restored he saw 3 dark Jedi, kneeling before him. One was a well built bald human with a cold aura arround him. He was infact so cold that you could see his icey blood-filled veins pushing out from his body. His lips were blue as were both of his hands, he seemed to be the head of this group as the other two were knelt either side and slightly behind him.

On his right knelt a hooded figure, his face was tattooed in gold and red and three horns created a virtical line on the top of his head. The third was an old jedi, with a thin metal device covering the reccesses that would normally embrace his eyes. He had small tattooes in the shape of curled snakes either side of his empty eye-sockets, and had an air of superiority around him.

"Welcome Lord Palpetine, it is indeed an honour to have you onboard our craft." said the human creature at the head of the three. "My name is Darth Doedor, these are my accomplices Lord Jerec," he pointed to the eyeless Jedi on his left. "and my apprentice Darth Vithrah of the Ganemede system. He is highly skilled in the art of the shadows and has been my deadly assassin now for over 3 years."

"Where am I?" asked Palpetine looking down at his followers.

"Let me explain Your Emminence. When Lord Vader threw you into the chasm, we used a sophisticated tractor beam to extract you from the Death Star. However when you arrived, you body was badly damaged and we kept you inside this recovery chamber until your body was fit enough again. The process was long and your body took a long time to fully recover."

"How long was I kept in this, this, thing?" The Lord asked angrily

"Three years my Lord." A regretful Doedor mumbled

"THREE YEARS!" Palpetine bellowed "What has Skywalker done in this time?"

"Very litle My Lord, Darth Vithrah has destroyed many key figures in Skywalker's regeime, whilst Lord Jerec and his band of dark Jedi have stopped the message of the Empire's downfall reaching many parts of the galaxy. Many systems still believe they are under your control."

"Excellent. One question still remains though, where did you all come from?"

"Lord Vader banished mself and Jerec from your forces a long time ago, we were seen as a threat to his reign so we disbanded far away to set up our own Empires. Jerec runs a far corner of the Galaxy around the Tinterine system, along with his apprentice Yun; and Sariss a deadly female Dark Jedi who is extremely powerful indeed. "

"So what are we going to do to reclaim this galaxy as our own?"

"We has assambled this Dark Axis along with a large number of Stormtroopers and space craft on our base. My plan is to travel to the Valley of the Jedi to absorb the core's power to make us stronger than we could ever imagine, and topple Skywalker and his pathetic attemp at democracy amongst the systems of the galaxy."

"Excellent." Palpetine smerked as he surveyed the craft and Jedi around him. He sensed his reign was not nessessarily over yet. He also sensed a very large disturbance in the force...

Meanwhile, far away, a small spacecraft flew through space; its pilot, dressed in full Jedi robes, set a course for Corruscant with a very important message for the New Republic council.
