AN: Here is Chapter 4. It will skip over his sith training and go to his completion. I will overview what he learned but it won't be like last chapter.
Chapter 4: Dark Lord of the Sith
There Harry stood, domineering. Lost was the face of innocence. It had been three years since he entered the Temple. From the first day he was trained. He was trained by the most renowned Sith every to live in the galaxy. He was taught light saber techniques thought lost since the times of Exar Kun. Funny, it was Exar Kun that taught him. Hell Harry could even fly with the aid of the force. Exar Kun also taught him the lost Sith art of the thought bomb. Naga Sadow taught him Sith Alchemy and the art of force illusions. Marka Ragnos revealed the location of the scepter that he crafted. With it Harry would be able to draw dark side energy from living organisms directly to him. Freedon Nadd taught him to use a short saber and the fight with a blaster. And finally Revan taught him how to use the Star Forge as well as tactics in battle. Not only that but how to meld with the Shadows. Ancient Sith called it shadow walking.
The time had come. The time to prepare the galaxy for battle. A war is coming and the galaxy is too weak to defend itself. First Harry needed to create his army. He would use the massasi design of Naga Sadow but add more intelligence. He would need his warriors to be more that just brutes. He would travel to Yavin 4 and use it as a base. But as Far as he knew the JedI Luke Skywalker had set up a JedI Academy there.
'Well we shall see if his students can turn down the power of the Dark Side,' Harry thought as he laughed to himself. But it wasn't Harry anymore. His Name would be Shade. For that is what he is, but a shadow of his former self. He could become one with the darkness and well as travel through it.
Harry Exited the Temple with the blessing of all of his instructors. His left with a cavern of Knowledge that some could only dream of. As he left he was greeted by the same group of Rakatoans that arrived with him. They seemed awed at the presence that stood before him. As Harry made is way through the pack he stood before his friend Ragnok. Now fully grown he stood 25 feet tall and was almost as big as a house. Shade looked him in the eyes and nodded. Ragnok knew what this meant and nodded in the response. Shade leapt into the air and did a somersault to land on his back.
"Take me to my ship, I have an empire to create and a galaxy to defend."
No one needed to be told twice. Ragnok took off at a gallop and soon there was he little one man ship.
"I will be back, I must travel to Yavin 4. There I will create the Sith warriors I will need to accomplish my mission. Then I will travel to the Star Forge and create my army.
Shade had an idea, he would have Massasi generals and officers to lead his space fleet but would use super intelligent droids to crew the vessels.
Shade could only smile at the designs he had for his flagship. It would be a hybrid between the ancient sith battleship Exar Kun used and the meditation sphere Naga Sadow used. At the front of the ship would be a giant force sensitive crystal used to channel and increase Shades own force potential. It would be even more powerful then the late Emperors super laser. To excited was Shade that he put his plans for Yavin 4 on hold and traveled directly to the Star Forge.
"R-6, forget about Yavin, Take me to the Star Forge. I want to start production on my ship and its fleet."
Shade's eyes flashed yellow as he thought about it.
It took them about an hour to get to the Star Forge. Shade could feel the Dark side and how strong it was. As the R-6 took them into the hangar, Shade saw something that made him smirk. The defenses were coming online.
'Leave it to Revan to give me one last test before granting me the power of the Star Forge.' thought Shade as he readied his light sabers.
"R-6, blow the top on my command. I plan to make an entrance." And sure enough with the attack droid lining up in the Hangar awaiting their opponent Shade said, "Now."
Shade jumper out of the cock pit and landed right in the middle of all the Droids.
His light sabers ignited and a silver light sprang forth. Shade was never much for the color red.
Blaster fire soon lit up the small hangar and none of the blaster bolts hit their mark. Shade batted them away as if they were flies. Now Shade was annoyed, he quickly melted into the shadows and called down a force storm that shorted out all of the droids.
'I have to be quick, knowing Revan there will be more.'
Shade encountered more of the same but he eventually made it to the command center. He quickly placed the holocron key card into the reader and sure enough he was keyed into the defenses. He was in control of the most awesome power in the galaxy.
Wasting no time he quickly input his new flagship designs into the Star Forge computer. Once that was finished he looked at the readout and was disappointed. His new ship wouldn't be done for another month.
'Ah well, it will give me time to create my army.' He found another port where he started to feed his droid specifications. When his ship is to be commissioned he will have a droid army bigger than that of the separatists during the clone wars.
Then he found a room that he never knew existed. It was a cloning room. It wasn't for droids but for sentients. He wouldn't need to travel to Yavin at all. He could input the Massasi DNA into the computer and have his fighting force within months. He could even input soldier training. For this he put his training regiment from Rakata, along with the clone battle training from Kamino. They would be the greatest fighting force the galaxy had ever known.
Shade then looked over everything that he had put into play. He had started production on a dozen different ships, ranging from fighter to capital class. None of these ships bigger than his own which he called the Shadow.
Soon he would have an armada at his command, but he would need generals that were free thinking. He would need more than clones.
For this he would search the galaxy for Dark force users.
So as Shade sat there waiting for his army to be completed he searched. He found one almost immediately. Mara Jade, former Emperors Hand, trained in covert and sabotage. She had some dark side knowledge but Shade knew it was very incomplete. Probably so that the Emperor wouldn't have a rival.
Shade sent out a calling to Mara which she answered with hostility but she reluctantly agreed to come.
She arrived about two weeks before completion of his flagship and troops. When she entered the hangar she took stock of her surrounding. She had never heard of this space production facility nor knew how it could be created without her knowing. But something was unnerving about the man who contacted her. He did so in the same fashion that the Emperor did.
Shade walked through the shadows watching his new arrival. Looking for weakness. One thing he did notice was that she was extremely attractive. He gracefully walked up behind her and spoke to her mind.
'Mara, you have arrived meet me at the command deck to discuss an opportunity which will brighten your future.'
Mara spun as quick as she could but found nothing in front of her.
Confused, she did as the voice told her too.
And Soon she was in the presence of power that dwarfed even the Emperor. In front of her was a man that had seen ages go by and soaked up the knowledge of centuries, as well as power.
Forgetting herself she lowered herself to one knee.
"Mara, no need for such shows of obedience. I only ask that you ally yourself with me and my goals." Said Shade with a smirk.
Mara quickly got to her feet embarrassed that she did such a thing.
"What is it you want from me," she said with a tone of rebellion.
"I have sensed your power across the galaxy and what I offer is power. I offer you the spot as my number 2 and apprentice."
'No,' she thought to herself just now noticing that his face was covered with a hood. "I don't go into business with people whose faces I haven't seen."
"Ah yes, I was wondering when you would bring that up. Well you see, I can't have you telling a bunch of people in the New Republic what I look like. So I will only show you my face if you join me." Once again Shade had a smirk on his face so wide it could almost be considered a smile.
"How is it you think you can compete with the Republic. They have amassed quite a fleet since their defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn. And they will have JedI soon to bolster their rank."
"Pah, no jedI can stand against me."
Hoping to catch him off guard she puller her blaster and fire at the man in front of her, but he was gone in a wisp of shadow.
Shade sensed her intentions and quickly shadowed to right behind her.
"Join me and you too could have these powers……" he took some time to look into her head and pick her greatest desire, "power enough to take you revenge."
Mara went white, 'How did he know.'
"Say I do join, what does that get me." She said mustering up some fake bravado.
"You would be my number 2, my ambassador of sorts. You would be my voice to the worlds of this galaxy who do not wish to join the pitiful Republic. You would command a capital ship of your choosing and would answer only to me. I would also finish your training, which the Emperor left you sadly lacking. But don't fear great power I sense in you. You will soon be the only sentient life form which can stand up to me. All this and more will be yours if you accept."
How could Mara say no. He didn't seem a tyrant yet he was basking in the Dark side. He hadn't spoken of open warfare but diplomacy.
"Where do I sign." Shade smiled.
"A ship of your choice will be commissioned at once as well a crew to man it. Your training will begin tomorrow. But for know you can see my face."
Shade lowered his hood and Mara was gob smacked. The man before him was even younger than her and she was only 22.
"I see that I have surprised you but don't let my age fool you I have been trained to the fullest and am matched by no one."
Not only did he look young but Mara found him incredibly attractive. She squashed these feelings quite quickly feeling that it would never work.
So Shade led her on a tour of the Star Forge giving her a history lesson on it as well. She was awed at the fact that it was built over 25000 years ago.
When the reached the production site and she saw the production of an armada she almost fainted.
"That is a fleet bigger than the emperor commanded." She said barely able to convey coherent words.
"Yes I know and soon they will be completed. Your first mission will be to travel to Skywalker's jedI academy. I will need more generals and that is where we will start looking.
At seeing the sour look on her face he quickly said, "I know you hate him but soon he might be another apprentice and general to the new regime. His power is also great but he is too ingrained into good and evil. He will trust you. I will teach you how to use your words to manipulate even the strongest mind. He will come to us when the time comes."
Mara nodded and Shade showed her to her new living quarters.
"I am just across the way if you need anything and with another wisp of the shadow he was gone."
He appeared back in the command center and he was pleased.
"I have my apprentice and number 2, now it is time to bring other worlds around to my point of view." Shade said allowed to himself.
He truly is the Dark Lord of the Sith.
With a hearty laugh he sent out a pulse of dark side energy so strong Luke Skywalker awoke from a dead sleep drenched in sweat.
"I think we have a problem."
