Kylo Ren was left on the operating table as the remaining First Order escort fled the battle, Talon Jade watched him with a frown on her face. The young Force sensitive was way too young but now he was the Supreme Leader of this group, but he would need an advisor.
Of course, that was what Plagueis had trained her for.
A tool for the creation and continuation of the Sith Order, unless this boy wasn't prepared. The boy was already unstable as it was, after the return of Darth Vader. Kylo had killed his first Jedi, but it was purely for show, nothing more. But it had only made it worse, the boy was plagued by nightmares of that supposed Jedi. She would have to distract him once he was out of surgery, maybe that would give him some focus and maybe a goal for the future.
That thought brought a cruel smile to her lips, her body feeling warm at the thought of it.
"In time, my new little apprentice~" Talon whispered huskily under her breath.
In another corner of the Galaxy, Lord Starkiller knelt before his reborn master, Darth Sidious. The clone the Sith Lord now inhabited was able to withstand his overwhelming dark energies, allowing it to fill the body and allow Sidious a more permanent vessel to command.
"Rise," Sidious' voice said calmly, as the Dark side was used to robe the dark practitioner, "my apprentice."
Starkiller rose, looking at his master though the cold mask. The two Sith studied each other for what seemed like eternity before Sidious smiled.
"Much has changed by young friend, much needs to be done."
Starkiller nodded before speaking, "My 'family' has been working on Operation: Dark Empire while you have been resting. They are currently working on improving the designs even further."
Sidious glowered at him but didn't lash out, the Emperor's lips turning from a frown to a smile as he walked out the door to look out over the operation.
"Good, good, maybe I was wrong on not training other Force Sensitives…"
Starkiller snorted and looked at the operation, Star Destroyers built in new black colored alloys and with new turbolasers that could tear a Republic frigate asundar in one shot. Many other ships and weapons were also being constructed as will, Starkiller could sense Susan personally handling the construction of the Emperor's would-be flagship. The ultimate weapon, of course, that could of been said for both Death Stars and the Starkiller Base.
"Vader lives, and he has the Star Forge." Starkiller said bluntly, not caring if Sidious lashed out.
Sidious chuckled before looking over at Starkiller, those Sith yellow eyes glowed unnaturally in the twilight.
"Indeed, it was foretold by many before use that this would happen. But they were obscure and far inbetween. Such is the fate of any Force Sensitive Seers, seeing the possibility of all futures but never seeing the outcome of which one."
Sidious paused before a sickening sneer formed over his visage, "Your 'Daughter', Susan Bones, she is a Seer. A powerful one but not trained properly…"
"She refused to use that gift," Starkiller said calmly, "She knew a Seer on the planet she came from, the Seer wasn't all there. Almost in a dream like state constantly, making her useless and her speech was childish."
Sidious nodded, pondering quietly before looking at Starkiller directly, "Bring her to me, I wish to make her my apprentice, you have served well, but your time is over."
Starkiller growled before Sidious continued, "My friend, you will live to see the day the Empire rules again. You have earned that right, but you have already gotten an Apprentice, I am no longer your master because of this."
Starkiller nodded before leaving the room, not noticing that Sidious smirking evilly or beginning to cackle.
In the waves of the Force, a consciousness was stirring, one that had been so powerful that death couldn't stop him. But now, after so long, he was so close to returning to his rightful place in the Galaxy.
The Galaxy's God had returned!
