ON TO THE STORY
Harry stepped up to his lab, carefully removing the still bleeding stump of a wing that he had severed from the avian intruder. Harry grabbed the bottle of ashes he had gathered from his room and set them next to the wing. He also grabbed a few jars from his shelf, smiling as he saw the labels. He poured a bit of the water from an ancient Nabooian spring into a vase, and grabbed his mortar and pestle. He sprinkled a bit of ash into the bowl, and dropped a few leaves from the swamps of Dagobah and it's force-filled wildlife. He also poured a bit of the blood from the bird into the water, and began to stir it with the force, before he proceeded to grind up the leaves and ash until he had a fine powder. He set the bowl down, allowing it to sit for a second, and sent Sola, who had been watching in fascination, off to get one of the clones he had produced from the feathers of the bird. She quickly returned, carrying three small field colto (1) packs that had been turned into miniature colto tanks. She placed them on the table, backing up a bit. Harry reached back, subconsciously scratching her behind the ear, as she began to shiver in pleasure.
He pulled his hand back, carefully removing the ash from the bowl, and dropping it into the vase of water and blood. He grabbed a small canister of powdered rancor (2) horn, and the heart of an ancient dark Jedi (3) from his stores, and carefully put a few pinches of powdered Rancor horn into the mixture, before levitating the heart in front of him. He, while holding it up, removed the bird from the tank, and held it up with the force as well. he began to pour his energy into the space between the two, as his aura became visible, a dark crimson with flecks of black. He heard Sola gasp, as the heart began to warp, as the bird awoke, and began to screech as it felt the dark energy encompassing it. Harry used every ounce of his strength, keeping them from being sucked into the vortex of power. He managed to lift the vase up, and allowed the mixture to flow out, and be swallowed by the vortex, as the air began to smell of ozone.
Harry let his grip on the vase go, it dropping with a resounding CLANG to the floor, as he finally let go of the bird and heart. He watched them rocket together, as the air grew thick with power. He heard the screeching slow to a crawl, and eventually stop, as he beheld the vortex of power in front of him. Harry took a step back, quietly thanking himself for having a soundproof room and thus keeping this current experiement from the knowledge of his master. He began to feel power flood him again, his excess power from the alchemic binding returning. He cautiously approached the cloud of malevolence, and gasped as the smoke cleared. There was a bird with dark red, close to black plumage, with a sharp curved beak, and sinister talons in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was unconscious. He grabbed a dagger he had been given by his master for his alchemy and, holding the bird down with the force, began to carve the ancient Sith runes for subservience, power, strength, and loyalty onto the bird's skull and spine, making certain marks under them that matched the symbols carved into the flesh of his shoulders.
Harry grinned as he finished, flooding the runes with his power. He coud now feel the subservience of the bird through his rune for 'MASTER' that was upon his left shoulder, as well as the corresponding loyalty rune on his right shoulder. He stepped back, admiring his handiwork, when the bird's eyes flashed open, and the bird was suddenly above the table. It gazed at Harry, before giving a regal bow, eyeing up it's new master. Harry began the long and ardous process of turning the other two clones, and smiled as his small flock of Sith-enhanced Avianic Warbirds stood on the table in front of him. He quickly grabbed his communicator off his belt, and sent a quick message to the twin Togrutans to prepare one of his safehouses for his new creations. Harry turned to them, and signaled them to follow him. He went to one of his personal stealth ships, setting the coordinates, and sent his first order to the birds. 'You all are to report to my two slaves on Dantooine, where you will live within the safehouse there. There will be no contact with the outside world, and you are to remain secret.' They all gave the avian version of a nod, and flew into the ship, as he sent it off.

Darth Cognus wandered through the halls of the compound, pondering over how she should deal with her former apprentice Milennial, who had gone and started up his own religion based around the dark side of the force. She suddenly felt a flare of light energy, and rushed to the source, grabbing a datapad and seeing nothing on the cameras, and headed towards her apprentices room. She tried bugging and videoing his room, but everything malfunctioned or didn't work half the time. She was about to barge into his quarters, when she felt another burst of energy, this time at the gates of the compound, and rushed out. She cursed as she saw a party of eight Jedi, all staring at her. The three up front charged at her, as she jumped, releasing her lightsaber and catching the side of one Zabrak Jedi, as the other eight were shocked from their stupor and joined the fight.

Dumbledore gazed out from his office, wondering where his familiar had ended up being sent to. He had, as loath as he was to do so, sent Fawkes to the unknown by using a ritual and hairs from when Harry was a baby. The ritual sent the being within the circle to the location of whoever's DNA was added to the ritual, and did not offer a way back. Dumbledore was desperate, and had decided to risk Fawkes for the child of prophecy. He had felt Fawkes revert to a chick through their familiar bond, and was quite worried. He gazed over the roster for this years students, and sighed, returning to his musings.

Harry was about to resume his 'activities' with his slave, when he felt the communicator on his belt begin to hum. He grabbed it, seeing a hologram of his master. "Apprentice, we have intruders at the gates. You are to ambush their ship, and take command of the vessel. We need to know how they found this place. Just ensure that we have prisoners. You may keep whatever you find. I only want the crew alive to be interrogated. Do not fail me." His master fell silent, turning towards something with a snarl, before swinging her lightsaber, as the transmission cut out.
Harry summoned his robes, sliding them on as Sola grabbed his lightsabers and a few vibro-blades from the racks that lined one wall of his quarters. Harry attached the lightsabers to the magnetic clips on his belt, snapping the final clasp on his cuirass shut. He slid the blades into various places on his armor, from his boot, to his sleeves, and there was even one that he strapped to the underside of his left boot. He also grabbed two blasters, placing them onto his belt in such a way as to conceal the lighsabers. He finally grabbed his experiemental gun., sliding it into a strap on his thigh. He ensured that all of his equipment was secured, before hitting a button on the side of the wall. He smirked, raising his hood, as a droid fell in front of him in a kneeling position. It rose, activating it's combat protocols, as the rack on his ceiling released two miniature Mandalorian Basilisk War lead droid, taller and slimmer than the other two, which were bulkier and obviously better protected, stood.
"Query: Are we to engage in unprecedented acts of violence master?" The homicidal droid asked. "Yes, HK-47 (4), we are. You may dispose of any and all enemies we encounter along the way to our destination. I may just reward you with an assassination mission if you find me anything interesting." Harry responded. "Exclamation: Oh joy, Master. You know just how to get me excited."
Harry grinned a bit at the droid's behavior, before turning on his heel, his black cloak billowing behind him. He could hear Sola putting his room in order, ensuring he had a place to put the inevitable trophy he would take. He always managed to gather something new in missions like this, be it a weapon, piece of armor, jewelry, or something else entirely. He had a few lightsabers on the walls from Jedi he had slain, a few sith holocrons from various tombs, and more than a few odds and ends scattered around his room that he still needed to sort out. He exited the compound, catching the sounds of blasterfire and the hiss of lightsabers colliding, so headed in the opposite direction. He eventually stopped, seeing a large transport in the distance.

Darth Cognus jumped behind cover, throwing up a force shield. She grabbed her holo-communicator, calling her apprentice. She saw him looking at her with a look that just oozed 'this is a bad time'. She smirked inwardly, having caught her apprentice in the midst of an obviously sexual encounter. "Apprentice, we have intruders at the gates. You are to ambush their ship, and take command of the vessel. We need to know how they found this place. Just ensure that we have prisoners. You may keep whatever you find. I only want the crew alive to be interrogated. Do not fail me." She felt her shield break, and spun around. With a snarl, she swung her lighsaber at the Zabrak Jedi again, ending the transmission, before focusing on her enemies. She blew the man back with a burst of force energy, before stopping one of his companions in their tracks with a burst of force-lightning. He screamed, dropping his lightsaber, before she picked him up, before throwing him at one of the older Human Jedi. They both collapsed, the Human getting a pained look on his face.
She turned, catching the lightsaber of the Zabrak she had wounded earlier, and batted his lightsaber away. She swung her own lightsaber, cutting into his other side, before throwing her lightsaber behind her to block a strike to the head from a Twi'lek Jedi. She blew the Jedi she had wounded back, as he lay on the ground groaning. She turned toward the others, summoning her lightsaber. She drew a blaster from her hip, killing the one behind her with a shot to the head. She heard a cry of anguish from someone to her left, his padawan then, as he was a bit on the old side, before looking at the obvious leader of the group. The Togruta backed up, before jumping backward, putting his lightsaber away. He began to throw things at her, while the other 6 Jedi engaged her in a melee. She blew two away with the force, blocking lightsaber strikes from two others. She jumped backward, firing her blaster at one of the other Human Jedi. She caught notice of a Chiss Jedi who had a padawan braid, and focused on her. She threw up a force shield, blocking a few lightsaber strikes and some debris that was thrown at her. She dashed across the distance between her and the padawan, clipping her side with one of her horns.
She grabbed her, throwing the padawan up in midair, before using a force-enhanced punch to send her into the ground. She slammed herself down, her lightsaber beheading the padawan, before turning to the horrified Jedi to her right. She charged, knocking them out of their stupor, and swung at the closest one to her. The Ithorian just barely blocked her strike, still being knocked back a bit, but was saved when two other Jedi rushed at her. She dodged the older Human Jedi's lightsaber, letting him block the other Human's strike, before using a force repulse to throw the two away. She used one hand to maintain a stream of lightning at the Twi'lek, who was blocking it with her lightsaber, but struggling, while she threw her lightsaber at the other Zabrak. She jumped back, thinking of what to do, whilst cursing whatever deities there were for this setback in her plans.

"HK, I want you to come with me once we get closer. BD-23, BD-45, you two circle around and act as a distraction for the soldiers guarding the transport. Withdraw from combat by faking a retreat so they don't get suspicious. If need be, damage the ship's doors a little bit so that they stay back to repair them."
He saw HK checking his weapons, as the two war droids lifted up in the air, flying about a half mile away, then setting down to wait for his signal. Harry proceeded onward, getting close enough to where he could tell what the group of sentries were discussing. "-just going to sit here and do nothing? The comms went silent on half our men, while the other half are reporting that they have encountered a Sith and are in combat with them. It doesn't feel right to just sit here and do nothing. We could maybe-" Harry tuned him out, happy they were distracted. He hit a button on his communicator, signaling the two basilisk droids. A few moments later, he heard a faint humming sound, before the two droids crashed into the ground in front of the ship. They began to fire on the sentries, drawing them slowly away from the doors.
Harry and HK crept behind the men, slipping into the ship. Harry turned off the signal, letting the droids know he was in. He heard a few shots hit the bulkhead, the men swearing about a hull breach. He felt the distinct vibration of lumbering footsteps, before they stopped, the droids flying off and back to base, their jobs done. Harry and HK continued onward, Hk switching to stun rounds and tranquilizer darts. Harry crept into the first room he came upon, finding a trio of men playing pazaak. He cursed as they looked up when the door opened, before throwing Hk a look, who immediately jumped into the room, sending off three quick shots with his stun gun. He looked around, noticing a droid in the corner trying to slip out of the door, and jumper toward it. He picked it up, attaching an electrical pulse to it's eye-piece, before dropping the thing, and activating the pulse. The droid fell over, it's circuits frozen, as Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
He went over to the men, finding a key-card on one of them. He slipped it into his robes, before exiting the room with Hk, locking the room behind them. he was much more careful in the next room, cutting off life-support to the room through a console in the hall, and then locking the door. He waited until all life-forms in the room registered as unconcious, before re-activating life-support. He entered the room, Hk disabling a droid that had been in the corner, albeit charging and not active, but you can never be too cautious. This procedure continued up until they came across the ship's prison cells. Harry walked in after checking for life-forms and knocking everyone unconscious, and found only a few prisoners within the room. According to the data on these guys, two of these guys were smugglers, a third was a slaver, along with two pirates in his service, and the final prisoner was a murderer. They were all scheduled for trials on Coruscant, and all but the smugglers were assured the death sentence.
Harry grinned, sensing an opportunity, before using a bit of force energy to rip off the bars holding the smugglers, slaver, and pirates. He had HK stun them, just in case, before levitating them behind him. He continued onward, eventually reaching the armory. He pulled out a few expandable crates, hitting a button that caused the metal to unfold. He placed all the guns in one crate, putting a few extra that wouldn't fit into the next one. he put armor and melee weapons in this crate as well. He also put all the explosives into the a final crate, leaving empty racks and weapon piles. He levitated them behind him as well, using some ropes he had found along with some handcuffs to secure his prisoners. He also had HK go back and do the same thing with the men they had encountered earlier now that they had restraints. He also instructed HK to gag them, and to disable the droids again for good measure.

Darth Cognus jumped backwards, dodging a force push from the Ithorian Jedi, before blocking a lightsaber strike from the Twi'lek. She caught a piece of rubble she recognized as her fortress' door that had been thrown at her, tossing it back towards the Togruta, who had been joined by the two humans. She jumped over the Chiss' body, pulling her body up as a human shield to block a blaster bolt. She turned and saw a trio of soldiers now assisting the Jedi, before dropping the body. She jumped up, catching a thrown lightsaber from the Twi'lek Jedi, and throwing it at the soldiers. The Twi'lek just managed to stop it from killing the soldiers, but it did still damage a heavy machine gun one of the soldiers had. She grabbed her blaster gain, but it was cut in half by a thrown lightsaber from older Human.
The Togruta chose this moment to join the fray, jumping up to try to behead her in midair. She blocked his strike, managing to lightly graze his left leg with a force push, and knocked him back. She landed near the two Humans, dropping her lightsaber. She quickly summoned their lightsabers, lighting them when she got them and throwing them at the humans. She managed to impale the younger Human on the older Jedi's lightsaber, but the older Jedi managed to slow down the lightsaber and catch it. She picked up her own lightsaber before blocking a strike from the Zabrak, and dodging the Ithorian's lightsaber. She summoned the lightsaber from the dead Human's chest, lighting it, before slashing towards the Ithorian and Twi'lek, who had run up while she was killing the Human.
She threw his lightsaber at one soldier, killing him, before frying the equipment of another with a burst of force-lightning. She dodged the Togruta's lightsaber, slash, catching his lightsaber on hers. She threw him back again, before stabbing her lightsaber backwards, catching the Twi'lek in the chest. She slid to the side, dodging the enraged slash of the older human, who seemed beyond reason at this point. He was acting without reason, and she could exploit that. She grabbed him, throwing him towards the soldiers, who were attempting to target Cognus, but failing horribly due to how fast she was moving. She dodged the Togruta's lightsaber again, but was surprised when she was hit with a weak bit of force-lightning from the older Human. She managed to catch it on her lightsaber, redirecting it into the Togruta, who was trhwon backwards a few feet. She threw her lightsaber to block a strike from the Zabrak, before blowing the Ithorian away with a force push.
"This is how it's done, honey." She said in a obviously fake sweet and mocking way, before throwing out her hands and catching the older Human and the two Humans with force lightning. She cut off her lightning, catching her lightsaber and blocking consecutive strikes from the Togruta and Ithorian, before managing to get a slice across the eye in on the Zabrak. He screamed, falling backward, as she turned toward the Ithorian and Togruta with a dark smile on her face.

After the armory, he came across the medbay. After stealing medical supplies as well, filling his second-to-last crate. He also grabbed all the medical personel and medical droids, binding and gagging them all, or in the droids case, disabling them with an electrical pulse. He could make quite a bit of money, or gain valuable servants, from all these prisoners of his. Harry finally came to the personal quarters of the Jedi, and began to search them, quickly unearthing several lightsabers that were obviously meant as spares. He also found several force healing crystals, 2 Jedi holocrons, and a room that obviously belonged to the Jedi in charge, based upon the fact that there was communication gear that had the coordinates to Coruscant set in it in the room. In the Jedi's leader's room, he found a light-whip, of all things, along with several data-packs that contained the coordinates of several Republic bases. Lastly, he found a bit of technology that was marked to be an experimental attempt at creating an artificial intelligence that was entirely independent and could control an entire starship, therefore freeing up resources and credits by the billions.
Harry placed all of this in the final crate, using a technique his master had taught him called a force-tether to bind the crates and his prisoners together. Harry proceeded through this floor, finally reaching the bridge, which was in a state of panic. Apparently their ground team had just been finished off by his Master, and any and all men sent out to the rest of the ship had been incapacitated by HK and Harry. The men were too terrified to even leave the bridge at this point.
Harry and HK decided to end the stealth, and have a bit of fun, so they went around to the nearest airlock, exiting the ship. They left all their 'aquisitions' outside, before Harry levitated himself and HK until they were looking into the cockpit. Harry mind-tricked the pilot, who sat there quietly as Harry cut a hole in the glass, while HK held the glass there so it didn't fall and make noise. He then dropped it outside into the sand, it breaking a dozen yards below, where the sentries were. HK was dropped into the sand directly after, and he incapacitated the sentries, who managed to get a quick distress signal off to the bridge, per Harry's plan. He then entered the ship again, knocking out the pilot.
Right after the signal was sent, Harry opened the door, walking onto the bridge. He walked right into pandemonium, the various crew members rushing about to figure out what was going on. Harry calmly walked around the back of the room, before standing behind the captain. He drew one of his lightsabers, putting reparing for a show, and slipped a vibro-blade out of his boot. He put the knife against the captain's neck, putting it right where the captain's trakia was, and applied light pressure. Harry felt the captain stiffen, unable to breathe. Harry held the man like that, the crew completely unaware, until the man passed out. He then put the knife away, the authoritive figure taken care of. He then put the knife away. Before jumping over the chair, lighting his lightsaber in midair, whilst drawing all attention to himself.
Harry threw his lightsaber, taking out the communications systems of the ship, before drawing his other one, putting it to the captain's neck, and lighting it. He pulled his other one back with the force, guarding his side with it, beofre saying, "So how exactly do you lot want to deal with this. You can either be slain, taken prisoner, or I can always let my droid have you. He would be ever so eager to prove why he is the most dangerous droid you will ever meet." Harry then used the forced to pull Hk to him. A few seconds later, HK flew through the front window of the ship, landing next to a quivering ensign. He stood up, obviously not used to forced flight, and said, "Query: Are there any meat-bags that I could slaughter in your name, master?. Statement: It would be ever so fun."
The ensign he was next to HK fainted, while the rest of the bridge's crew warily steped back from the obviously homicidal droid and Sith. Before they had a chance to respond, HK spun in a circle, darts flying from his wrist where he had prepared them, and striking all but the captain. The crew collapsed, the fast-asting sedative doing it's work. Harry took a stun gun and placed it against the captain's chest, seeing as how he was coming around. "Ugh, what happene-" The captain began, before taking notice of the situation. Harry turned to him, before saying, "Why were you here?"
"W-We were just following the instructions of Jedi Master Quol-Demos. He told us he sensed a disturbance in t-the force. We just went where he tol us to." The man stammered, obviously terrified. "Very well. HK?" Harry said. The droid pulled the trigger, knocking the captain back into his chair, before turning to Harry. "Statement: That was quite a refreshing change. I dislike not doing anything all the time. Query: Next time can we brutally slaughter any meat-bags in out path? Please?" The crazed assassin said. Harry just shrugged, before jumping out the window, landing in the sand.

Darth Cognus Swung her lightsaber lazily at the Ithorian, who jumped out of the way. She grabbed the downed Zabrak, pulling him forward to intercept a strike from the Togruta, before turning back to the Ithorian. The Togruta just barely moved his lightsaber, catching the Zabrak, and gently setting him onto the ground. The Ithorian charged towards Darth Cognus, who slid to the side, swinging her lighsaber towards his neck, but was blocked by a thrown lightsaber from the oldder Human. He was obviously shaken from both his use of force lightning and the brief time he had been hit with it. He was definitely slower than he had ben before. She dodged a strike from the Ithorian, just barely dodging when the Togruta swung at her neck.
She threw them both back, throwing her lightsaber at the older Human as a ruse, before pulling it back at the last second, letting it fly into the Zabrak, stomach. He gasped, the realization of what had just happened hitting him, before the light left his eyes. She heard a gun priming, and felt a barrel just barely nudge her back, before swinging backward with her leg, knocking whoever was behind her off-balance. SHe jumped up into the air, finding the two soldiers had snuck up on her, and halted herself in the air, falling straight down. She dashed towards them, using the force to grab their throats, before crushing them. She heard the distinct crask of bone breaking, before the two collapsed.
Darth Cognus let out a sigh, as she began to feel all the energy she had been using catch up to her. She jumped again, landing behind the older Human, and threw a force shield up. She took a moment to catch her breathe, the Jedi doing the same during this brief reprieve, before summoning her lightsaber to her. She jumped up, letting the barrier disappear, and landed on the shoulders of the Human, who crumpled like a house of cards. She stomped on his neck, severing the man's spinal cord, before jumping up again, and landing a safe distance away from the Ithorian and Togruta. She could clearly tell the Ithorian was ragingly pissed, based upon the fact that he seemed to be emanating an aura of hate. The Togruta on the other hand, was emanating an aura of depression, along with a heartbroken look on his face.
He had just seen six of his brother and sisters slaughtered within minutes by one individual who was the exact opposite of what the Jedi were, a Sith. She almost felt sorry for him. Almost.
She ran towards the two, the Ithorian rushing to meet her while the Togruta calmly walked towards her, holding his lightsaber with a grim look on his face. Darth Cognus focused on the Ithorian, subtly grabbing three lightsabers behind the duo. She lit them, catching the Togruta's attention, but he was too late to warn the only other remaininf Jedi there. Before the Ithorian knew what had happened, there were three lightsaber blades protruding from his chest. He collapsed right in front of Darth Cognus, a defeated look in his eyes. The Togruta backed up a bit, honestly scared now. She could hear him whispering the Jedi Code. "There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is hermony. There is no death, there is the force. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no..."
"There IS death, Jedi. Look around you. Do you not see your comrades? They have embraced death, and you shall be with them soon. You and your precious 'Jedi Order' will fall! Nothing can stop the Dark side! You can slow it, but nothingcan stop it!" She practically yelled, her voice full of glee. The Jedi reacted as if he had been struck, before he began to chant again, accpeting his death, it seemed. Darth Cognus sneered, before swinging her lightsaber, cutting through cloth and skin, muscle and bone. Nothing could stop the dark side, and nothing could stop her.

Harry called the two basilisk droids on his communicator, before observing the area around him. "HK?" He asked, trying not to laugh. "Query: Is something wrong with the way I disabled the meat-bags master?" The droid said. Harry looked at the droid, then at the sentries, then back at the droid, before beginning to chuckle. "Was tying them up with eachother's clothes and leaving them in their underwear really necessary?"
"Statement: Yes master. Query: What other option did I have? Statement: I was not allowed to end the pathetic existence of a few meatbags, so I resolved to make them beg me to let me kill them instead, via embarassment."
Harry was still laughing when they returned to base.
Again, sorry for the LONG wait. I had a period of writer's block, followed by School, and I am also having financial issues so have been worrying abou that as well. I am hopefully going to be able to put more chapters up soon, but for now, here you go guys!
Sidenotes -
(1) Colto tank were the predeccesor to Bacta tanks [The tank that Luke was in after he escaped the wampa, in case you didn't know].
(2) A Rancor is what Luke fought underneath Jabba's palace.
(3) A Dark Jedi is not a Sith, by any means. A Dark Jedi is a Jedi who has forsaken the Jedi's teachings, and uses the Dark Side. A Sith is a trained warrior who has lived by the Sith code and has been taught Sith techniques and strategies.
(4) HK-47 was the personal Assassin Droid of Darth Revan. He was thought lost in the unknown regions when he left in search of his master.
Anyone who can guess why HK-47 (If you know who he is) is here gets a chance to select the next person to join Harry on his quest to dominate the galaxy. They will also get to see the chapter before anyone else.
Responses can be through PM or review.
Good Luck!
(Just review or PM me about spelling errors, I can correct them, but I NEED A BETA, and by need, I mean that it takes me longer to post when I have to review the fic myself before posting it, and I don't always get everything)
