STAR WARS
Emissaries of Darkness:
The Awakening
Prologue
As the forces of the Confederacy are repelled, and the Supreme Chancellor is rescued at the hands of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker a great disturbance is felt in the Force, a disturbance which resonates so powerfully that Palpatine is actually revealed as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
Two years pass after the revelation of the Sith Lord, and the galaxy retains a measure of well-deserved peace. However a new threat begins to consume the Galactic Republic, where the Jedi; the only hope for the galaxy may not be enough, and where the victorymay be even more terrible…
(This is what happens instead of Revenge of the Sith, the 'New Order' belongs to me.)
Chapter I
"Mayras, a planet covered with thick foliage and wild life, as well as abundant in human and alien population is destroyed with no traces of life, only a barren wasteland remains, a hollow core of the former things," said Obi-Wan Kenobi, his padawan Ian Riath at his side.
The young man was now Obi-Wan Kenobi's padawan after his Master Akan Gui was killed by General Grievous on the planet Utapau, the same planet where Obi-Wan earned the scar that now stretched across his chest beneath his robes.
Mace Windu nodded, his bald head gleaming in Coruscant's light of the twin suns, "we have also heard word that other planets have been similarly destroyed, devoid of life,"
Yoda, Jedi Master glanced at Obi-Wan, scrutinizing him, "Felt in the Force, did you not? The death of these planets, have we not all?" The nods of agreement and acknowledged agreements went around the Council Chambers.
Anakin Skywalker now spoke-after his resisting Darth Sidious' offer of power, the young Jedi Knight was granted the rank of Master, and was given his elected position on the Council, "The Sith?" he mused, glancing at Mace Windu.
"We had defeated Sidious, the only Sith Lord, and you killed Count Dooku on his ship, no, these are not Sith," acknowledged Mace, pausing a moment, "the only record of this absurd use of the Force is of Darth Nihilus of Darth Traya, on the world of Mirulaka, and a few others,"
"This was a Force related use was it not?" inquired Ian from the center of the room.
Mace Windu glanced at the youth and raised an inquisitive eyebrow, "Young Riath, you are dismissed, the Council is now in session,"
Ian realizing his mistake in talking nodded feebly, bowed and left with haste.
The Council returned to their problem, "The padawan had a point," noted Agen Kolar scratching his chin lightly, "this was a Force power, that ripped the life from the planet, and left it barren,"
Saesee Tiin glanced at Agen indignantly, "I doubt such monstrosities can be done without the Council's knowing, only a Jedi could do this,"
"Or a Sith," replied Anakin, confident that there was still a Sith Lord out there, other than Sidious, but his wife was alive, and had secretly given birth to twins. The Council still didn't know of them, the young Jedi Master knew it wouldn't be long though.
Mace shook his head indignantly, "the Sith have been removed from the face of the galaxy, you were there Anakin, you were the one who finally saw the darkness in him and saved the lives of Master Fisto, Tiin, and Kolar,"
Anakin yielded, "maybe it is not the Sith,"
"Who then?" inquired Yoda, turning on his repulsor chair to look at each single Master that say on the Council, when no one spoke he continued, "revealed the source of the power was, from the Force it resonated, from the Force it is,"
"To other matters," began Mace, tiring of the talk that was causing a rift between the Council members who believed the Sith still existed, and those who did not, "Master Skywalker has requested a young man from the Agricultural Corps, a Timoth Frejik,"
Anakin nodded, "Yes,"
"Is it agreed?" inquired Mace, "all in favor to remove the young man from the Corps raise your hands," six members of the Council's hands raised, "all against?" three hands rose, "all abstain?" three other hands appeared, "then it is settled, welcome, padawan Frejik,"
Anakin steadied himself before placing a hand on the shoulder of the young man, "Hello Timoth, I have wonderful news for you, you are now my padawan, welcome back to the order Padawan Frejik,"
The younger teenager looked up at Anakin with gratefulness, "Thank you Master,"
Timoth turned quickly to collect his belongings and return to the Jedi Temple.
