Chapter 14. The End of Darth Millenial

Petyr had been sent on a mission to find the Prophets of the Dark Side and their Master Darth Millenial. This of course was a test by his master to see if he was worthy to be her apprentice. Petyr's journey brought him to the outer rim world of Breel. The Dark Prophets visited the world to get supplies for their temple. Petyr could hide his presence in the force a lesson most students of the order of two learned first. He could follow his targets without letting them know he was.

He stowed away on their ship and when it took off Petyr killed everyone on board by reprogramming the droids and using the force to choke individuals. He piloted the ship to the planet Athari. When the temple came into sight he sent the signal for the Sith agents to come. That is when his ship was hit by an ion missile. He crashed on the left side of the temple and was taken captive by Sith acolytes.

"Wake up!" A strong voice demanded. Petyr opened his eyes and standing before him was a three eyed humanoid, "I knew a crash like that wouldn't kill a Sith Lord like you…"

"Release me!" Petyr commanded using the force in an attempt to dominate the man's mind.

"That won't work on me…I am too strong for that…So what is your name?" The Question was ignored. "Come now let us be civil…I am Darth Millenial…Cognus' second apprentice…And you are…" Petyr ignored the question again, "Well I see manners is something your master didn't teach you Petyr…" When Millenial said his name Petyr looks at him, "Oh yes I know who you are Darth Severuss…I have been watching you from the moment your master killed your friend…Poor fool…She sent you to test you…To see if you are worthy to be her apprentice…No one is coming for you…You are mine to toy with…"

Petyr was shackled to energy binders above a gravitational projector. "When I get out of here I will kill you first…"

Millenial laughs, "Boy I have jumped from body to body just like Cognus…Yes I know the Force Essence technique…I learned it before leaving Cognus and forming the Prophets of the Dark Side…" Petyr tried calling on the Dark Side, but the four acolytes sitting around him were suppressing his powers. "Join us! Your Master betrayed you…I could kill you right now, but that would be a waste…Join and we can kill Darth Cognus and rule the galaxy the way the Sith were meant to rule it…You can lead us…Your power will surpass even Cognus' I have seen it and it was I who blocked her vision from seeing the outcome of your fight…"

When Petyr didn't respond Millenial left him hanging in the air shackled. Three hours passed when one of the Acolytes sitting down opened her eyes and unleashed force lightening on her three comrads. Then she releases Petyr, "Why?"

"Because a Master would never abandon her apprentice…"

It was Cognus' voice coming from the woman, "Master?"

"Yes!"

"You will have to teach me that…"

"If you survive…" She said handing him his lightsaber.

As the acolytes rushed in Cognus left the woman's body. When he didn't sense his master's presence anymore Petyr decapitated the woman and attacked the Acolytes. One right after the other fell before him. As he exited the prison more acolytes rushed him with blasters, shock nets, and lightsabers. There were even droids with them. Petyr switched off his lightsaber and unleashed a force storm on them. Most of the attackers and droids died, but those with sabers blocked the attack. Petyr switched to the Ataru style and cut a bloody path through the Sith Priests.

Darth Millenial's Throne Room

The doors were ripped off the tract and Petyr threw a large muscular Weequy across the floor and impaled him with his lightsaber. Then he summoned his weapon back to his hand. Darth Millenial stood in the center of the room. "You have won nothing…The Prophets of the Sith will survive…"

"Then I will hunt them down and destroy them…"

"Not without drawing the attention of the Jedi…They will sense you and your secret will be revealed…"

"Perhaps…perhaps not…But you won't live to see it…"

He sneers, "I was no match for Darth Cognus so I ran…My powers have grown since then…I am more than a match for her apprentice…"

He unleashes a powerful Sith spell of force tentacles. Petyr is not worried as he knows how to take apart the Sith spells. He counters the Sith magic and the tentacles fizzle down to nothing. Millenial roars and unleashes force lightening on Petyr. He blocks with his lightsaber and with a glance he rips the throne up and throws it at Millenial's back. He ends his attack whipping out his lightsaber and spins around cutting it in half. Petyr leaps at Millenial who goes into form seven of lightsaber combat. The Juyo style, in three moves Millenial severs Petyr's hand at the wrist, he howls in pain falling to his knees.

"I guess Cognus was wrong about you boy…Now die!"

As the blade comes down a power rises up in Petyr. A power he had never felt before, it comes up from his stomach and into his lungs then it rushes to his vocal cords and he feels the urge to open his mouth. When he does an ear splitting scream erupts from his body. Every glass object in the temple is shattered. Millenial's ear drums burst, his teeth are rattled and every nerve in his body is shaken as if he had been hit with Force Lightening. Even his bones are rattled causing him to drop his saber and stumble backwards.

Petyr breaths heavily as the power he unleashed dissipates. He stands up and points his left hand and stump of his right at Millenial, then he unleashes force lightening on his weakened opponent. Millenial dies in the lightening attack. Petyr summons Millenial's saber and hooks it to his belt then he summons his own and leaves the temple. He takes a ship to a nearby planet and gets his hand restored with cybernetics, before returning to his master.

("I must keep this power hidden from my Master…") He thought to himself.
