WITH NOX

His lightsaber flashed left and right , Blocking two I coming bolts before he simply force pushed the two Republic soldiers into the wall behinds them where they fell unconscious.

Waving his hands dramatically as he ran infront of nox ,Carth screamed at them not to fire as the dark one simply walked forward without worry of any attack .

The ignition of a saber was ignored by nox as he stared up at the ship before him , His hand simply catching the saber without him looking at the assailant, Locking the saber in place despite their best efforts at trying to pry the sabers blade from his grip .

" Sith ... " Obrunik blinked as he turned to face a confused brown haired woman who was staring at his hand in direct contact with her yellow bladed saber.

" I'm sorry who are you " Nox asked , Feigning confusion as he let go of the lightsaber , Allowing his hand to dissapear back into his robes .

" General shan , This is the ally who saved me " Carth stepped between them both in an effort to save bastilla from an unfortunate fate " He's also the one that ... you know "

Seeing carths gaze twitch towards the field of smoking ash , Bastilla caught the hint and frowned further.

" What do you want ... sith " Her knuckles were white on her blade as she prepared to make another attempt at killing him.

" First of all , I'm not a sith ... Those things you call sith back there are pathetic at best ... Second ... I'm coming with you all to dantooine " Bastilla nearly tried to decapitate him at his words , The fact he knew where their secret base was ... infact ... something they wouldn't be able to allow him to simply leave with.

And so , She swung , Her blade sailing towards his neck with all her might .

Carth yelled out , Yet was secretly hopeful for her success .

And it was not to be as a soul scarring scream escaped the hilt of a newly produced lightsaber, Black blade surrounded by a purple shroud appearing beside noxs head to catch and halt bastillas saber completely.

I'm a display of strength , Nox , Despite bastillas straining muscles , Moved her blade away from his neck with laughable ease with his own. His arm simply , Easily before their very eyes , Moved bastillas full might away from his body.

And with a flex of his hand , bastilla froze where she was , Completely frozen in place as her eyes widened in fear of his retaliation.

" As I said " Nox raised the frozen bastilla with the force as he began to walk towards where a bunch of shuttles were slowly departing for the endar spire.

" I have aligned myself with you ... So I will be accompanying you , Immediately " Noxs screaming saber disengaged and vanished back into his robes .

" So please do not resist ... It would be a shame to have to destroy someone such as yourself " Bastilla was unfrozen a second later after nox confiscated her lightsaber , Passing by her as he crossed his arms behind his back with her saber in hands .

" Do you have a shot " Bastilla asked under her breath as she continued to gauge nox , Whispering to carth as she spied his blaster .

" General ... it honestly wouldn't make a difference ... trust me " Carth replied without whispering knowing nox could no doubt hear them .

With a grunt , Bastilla scowled at nox , Planning to have him arrested when he was in range if the majority of their forces , Where he'd either be executed or transported to dantooine for interrogation ... And above all kept away from that thing on the ship.

" SITH " A soldier screamed out as he raised his blaster towards nox , And promptly opened fire despite the dire warnings of his captain and general .

His brains activity sky rocketed as his pupils dilated , Allowing him for accelerated brain activity as he planned to use the chance to accelerate his plans.

' I need to understand this power ... truly use it ' Under the hood of his robes , His eyes turned pitch black and starflecked with purple iris's .

' He said he's given me the basic instinct to start truly learning to harness it ... let's see '

The first bolt reached him , And under his will , He reached out to it with the force and attempted to use the power he had taken.

Before his eyes the bolt turned to stone before it hit him , Casuing him to tilt his head in confusion as it struck him but did no noticible damage.

' The ability to alter the world around me ... Let's see just how far I can take this ' The second through tenth bolts approached in slow motion as he turned his gaze to the closest approaching bolt .

His eyes darted throughout the galvanising soldiers around him for a moment before he refocussed on the bolts sailing slowly towards him .

Analysing the bolts very composition, Nox didn't completely understand how his power was supposed to work.

' Let's see ... ' Nox twisted his hand as he visualised what he wanted to do , Yet was confused as the bolt simply continued to slowly approach without changing.

' So that's not how that works , Maybe I need to isolate it . An aeons expression of force is the force in its purest state ... Perhaps I can only harness the powers of these celestial only with the force in its purest state ' Frowning deeply ,Nox began to glare at the approaching bolt , Blackened eyes staring at it unblinking.

' I have the combined might of several celestial beings ... Boundless creatures that could rend the fabric of time itself ... Yet not one of these creatures was a true aeon ... So drawing apon their combined power is all well and good if I want to tear apart reality , But there is only so much I can do with a stolen power ' Nox mused as he turned his gaze inwards .

' The aeon state I am meant to achieve would be the purest expression of myself , Shed of my mortal coil , So this is a power unrelated to them ' Nox could see the streams of power that fed him , Different in colour and intensity as they made up his being , Swirling together in several shades that refused to mix .

' Typhojem ' Nox thought as he stated at a super condensed dark red tinted shroud that made up a fraction of his powers .

' Tenebrae ' A pitch black shroud that represented another fraction of his powrs circled around the power of typhojem within him , Yet the remained strictly separated , Much like oil and water that refused to touch.

' Tulak hord ' A strictly red shade shimmered around the other two .

' Arcann and vaylin ' Two different shades of yellow ran together , Remaining closer together , Linked but not mixed .

' Athlagiroth ' The power he had been stealing from athlagiroth was orange as it remained closer to the representation of typhojems power .

' If I'm right ... The intensity of these shrouds represents their potency and sheer power held within , That would explain why typhojems is several hundred times heavier , hundreds of times denser than that of tulak hordes ' Obrunik squinted as he turned his eyes to the centre of his very being where a single thred of Gray sat .

He hadn't noticed it before , Yet the sheer rippling power from the single thread within his being forced the other powers within him to remain together , Rather than causing him to simply explode , It was as if this single thread of energy held more power within it than all the different energies and souls currently housed within his soul .

Everything Before him as just as it was when he turned his sight inward , Yet the differences happened immediately after , He bolts before him ceased to exist , Just as the weapons used to fire them turned to dust in the hands of their owners .

' So this is it ' Nox focussed solely on the Gray thread , And willed it to the surface.

It was like a flash bang overtaking his senses not a single second later , With the effects being immediate as it all but snuffed all his senses , Blinding him to the composition of his being as he was ejected from his sight and forced to return to the true world .

And he was promptly introduced to the world of unconsciousness as the entire world shook under the single second of power he released .

ENDAR SPIRE

' All things come from the maker itself ... All life .. all matter and death ... Comes from the maker . Does that mean an aeon is simply a manifested aspect of the maker itself or a more pure piece of himself given form ' Nox thought as he sat in a cell , All clothing removed as he sat in a pair of simple black pants .

He checked his nails in amusement as he heard approaching footsteps. Clearing the gunk under his nail , Nox turned away from the energy shield , Giving his back to it as he heard clearing of someones throat behind him .

" We would talk to you sith " Bastilla hissed as she stood with a grey haired man that had distinctly alderanian features .

" You can talk at me , Don't count at me responding to your questions though " Nox shrugged back as carth too joined them , looking more unsure than the other two .

" Oh hey carth , Good to see you " Nox quipped as he nodded at the awkwardly standing man.

" Two men died whilst getting you aboard this vessel sith , You will answer us " Bastilla hissed .

" Oh ... How did they die ... I wasnt aware I did anything that resulted in anybodies death " Nox replied with a raised eyebrow .

" That ... abomination of a lightsaber you have killed the man that picked it up as soon as it was touched , Then it did something to kill a second man as it... shot lightning at him ... " Bastilla hissed as she thought of the weapon aboard the ship. Kept in a lock box away from every living thing .

" Sounds like the stupidity of someone trying to touch what isn't theirs " Nox replied with a shrug as he turned back and rested into his bunk .

" This is getting us nowhere , You're being taken before the jedi council where your fate will be decide " Bastilla hissed before storming off .

Yet before she could leave with her two lackeys , Nox spoke up .

" Oh ... really bastilla . I think ... that I'll he free of this cell within a couple hours time ... By your own men . As this ship threatens to fall from the skies , Men die aboard and you fail . And carth ... do bring me my lightsaber when you can ... you have my permission to pick it up " Nox mocked before looking directly at carth witb a wide smile , His lips peeling back as Bastilla growled out , Marching from the room as carth and the alderanian followed , Leaving nox alone with a small calculating smile on his face as he applied his new found power to the space above his hand .

' What is it... oh yes ' Nox smirked as a ball of tungsten appeared directly above his hand , Having turned the air particles before him into said object , Where he threw it to the other end of his cell where several other balls of different material were located.

It wasn't hours later that the force ruptured momentarily , Causing him to shift from his sleeping state.

" Hm "

He was awoken with a knowing smile, As explosions rocked the ship his was on , The cell shield flickering slightly before it stabilised and held .

" I'll just wait then " Nox crossed his arms and tapped his fingers , Reaching out for carth through the ships levels with his mind , His mind brushed against several fearful , Scared beings , Yet he ignored them completely as he felt for the specific person he hunted for .

He felt the connection bridged immediately, As well as Carth's surprise.

' Hello carth ... Mind telling me what's going on up there '

Carth froze at the foreign voice in his head as he looked down at the security footage of the ship .

' Don't act like you don't know what's going on sith ... ' Carth thought back as a vein bulged in his forehead , Watching as the strange person was being guided by trask ulgo through from where they had been resting .

' Strange person .. ' Carth froze as he realised his thoughts were being broardcast to the man he admittedly feared ' youre not talking about me ... how curious . But yes ... I did try to warn you , Not my fault you didn't listen . But there is still a chance for you to fix this 'The voice of that man whispered in his head as carths knuckles clenched .

Carth was about to reply when the voice sounded again .

' If what I feel is correct, We're surrounded by a fleet of sith ships , Over Taris ... Woefully outgunned and outmanned . Bastilla just fled the ship for the surface of taris, Trask is being weird with his priorities . You couldn't hope to get your men off ship and defend from the sith at the same time . I can change that you know , I can take them all on ... All you'd have to do is trust me 'Carth ground his teeth together as he watched his men die over and over on the camera footage , Gunned down by several sith soldier marching through the corridors.

' How can I trust you ' Carth growled out loud as his leitenant stared at him in worry .

' I could have left this cell at any moment with a mere thought ... you know that , But I didn't did I... Funnel your men towards the brig , Bring me my lightsaber yourself ... I will save them from harm ' Carth felt the connection fade not a second later , His eyes going to his hand as he thought in silence .

" Captain " His leuitenant began as carth slowly turned to look at her , Squinting as he studied the innocent features on her face .

" Have trask and everyone redirect towards the brig , We're not leaving this system , Everyone nearby to the escape pods that can safely reach them is to abandon ship , The rest are to meet at the brig ... , You as well " Carth rounded and rushed from the bridge after signalling everyone to abandon ship .

" I knew you'd take me up on my offer " Nox announced when the door to the brig opened , With carth flanked by what he could surmise was the entire crew of the bridge and anyone that was still alive on the ship .

" How was I able to pick it up " Carth asked as the cell shield deactivated , His robes and lightsaber tossed at him the next moment .

" My saber is as alive as you or I... It does whatever I say , And I said you could pick it up ... so it let you " Nox replied as he slid into his robes within mere moments , Before accepting his saber from carths extended hand .

" Captain " Leuitenant shill whispered with wide and fearful eyes, Yet carth couldn't bring himself to look at her wide brown eyes , His shoulders Squaring as he knew the thoughts of those around him .

" You'll save them " Carth all but ordered with a tight jaw as nox simply smiled through white teeth , Carth watching as a yellow glow appeared from under the black shadow of the hooded man .

" Of course ... Follow me " Nox simply stepped aside and strode from the brig , Carth nodded to every person to allow the sith exit as they did just as nox asked .

Carth found himself amazed once more , As he stood beside the remaining soldiers on the vessel , Each of them five to ten paces behind the prisoner he had willingly released .

They stopped at a sith barricade, With five sith soldiers pointing their weapons at them , Yet they weren't trained on the prisoner .

' He's with them ' Carth growled as he watched nox simply walk up to them .

" Milord , We'll prepare to arrest them at once " Carth as heard as he felt his hand twitch towards his blaster , Yet stopped himself as nox stopped directly beside two of the sith soldiers .

' What is he doing ' He felt a new wave of terror wash over him as nox's hand flashed to the heads of the sith soldiers.

" Obey " The voice grated against Carths ears , A thousand voices of dirrerent sounds assaulted him , Causing a wave of fatigue to wash over him .

He stumbled over slightly as a raging headache materialised instantly , Just as he and his men all stumbled at Nox's voice.

He managed to right himself as he out his hand on Shills shoulder , Watching as the sith soldiers lowered their weapons and knelt before the man .

" We will obey your commands milord ... What are you orders " The sith soldiers announced in slow tones , Casuing carth to wince and nearly vomit as he realised what was happening .

" Escort us to the escape pods , Shield these people with your lives " The command was ushered , And the sith soldiers rose from the ground , Turning and beginning to march towards the escape pods .

Quickly coming to noxs side , Carth latched onto Noxs shoulders with a frightened gaze .

" What did you just do " Carth hissed with wide eyes as the Republic soldiers stood nearby , Sweating as nox turned his eyes towards carths own .

" Ensured the safety of your people , Would you prefer I simply execute the next group instead of turning them to our side " Nox asked with a small grin as carth growled .

" Whatever " Carth turned away before nox simply continued on " Do as you will "

It was easy , Laughably so , As carth looked at the entire platoon of sith soldiers the prisoner had all but robbed the free will of , As his loyal soldiers ushered themselves into the escape pods whilst the silent sith troopers simply stood guard of the room.

" We'll meet on the surface , Keep your heads down " Carth quickly said before deploying the pods .

" Now it's my turn " Carth heard as the prisoner waved his hand , Whilst Carth watched with bated breath as the pods become shrouded with a blue barrier , his expression changing to amazement as no matter how much fire the pods undercame... they simply shrugged off the damage as they fell to taris.

" Well ... whose next " Nox asked , And watched with amusement as the rest fo the Republic soldiers eagerly rushed into the pods , To their impending safety planetside .

It took eight more pods deploying before their men were safely departed the ship. Leaving carth , Nox and the sith soldiers to watch the pods enter the atmosphere below despite the sith fleets best efforts.

" You kept your word " Carth suddenly announced as he turned to the black garbed figure with their arms crossed .

" Was there ever any doubt " Nox turned to face him , Yellow eyes shimmering with mirth under his dark hood .

" Hm ... Should we leave , And what about them " Carth asked and motioned to the soldiers .

" They'll die with the ship ... Plus " Nox motioned to the door as it opened , And felt himself frozen at what walked through .

' That's not revan ... it can't be ... who is this ... woman ' Nox peered at the woman and activated his true sight ... and nearly had a heart attack .

From what he felt , This was indeed revan from what he could feel of the shattered and muted presence.

Questions and answers rushed through his mind. As he took another chance to study the world around him as carth approached the figure .

' Of course ... I should have seen this earlier . this isn't my universe ... I can't be in my own past without changing the present . But I can be in an alternate unrelated past ... ' Nox smirked slightly as the woman informed carth of trasks sacrifice .

" Go ... take her to the surface , I'll go get trask " Nox all but ordered as he rushed towards the location he could feel the only not strictly dark side presence was .

" Are you ... " Carth stopped as the door closed behind nox.

" Damnit ... Let's get you out of here " Carth ushered the woman into the pod , Before they deployed.

He watched the ship get smaller and smaller as it was caught in the planets gravity well , Slowly falling towards taris .

Accompanied by his sith forces , Nox marched towards the sealed blast door that had trask behind it , And with a wave of his hand , Tore the door apart which surprised the two within so much they leapt apart .

" I'm done for then " Trask said sadly , Holding his vibroblade aloft infront of him .

Stepping into the flaming corridor , With his sith soldiers silently standing at his side , Nox shook his head .

" Not so much trask ... Im actually the reason there were so little republic deaths onboard ... And You must be darth bandon ... I've heard of you " Nox remarked as he remembered seeing the man's head in a jar one time .

" You ... execute this man " Bandon ordered of the sith soldiers , Yet he and trask found themselves confused as the sith troopers did nothing .

" Unfortunately that won't be happening " Nox raised his hand , blasting bandon with a barrage of lightning that sent the sith flying down the other end of the corridor , Right before it exploded and crumbled in on itself , Leaving nox alone with trask .

" You're on our side " Trask squinted as he peered at the silent sith soldiers .

" Yep .. mind controlled em , Let's go to the bridge . I've ensured the amount of forces that escaped the ships were enough to fill all the pods , So we're fat out of luck when it comes to that , But I can ensure our survival from the bridge " Nox turned away and walked towards the bridge , Trask following behind reluctantly , Yet he remained guarded beside the sith soldiers.

Removing the mind control from the men , Trask held his blade beside himself ready to attack them as the soldiers all look around in confusion , Yet once they noticed their new positions , they soon raised their blasters at nox and trask .

" Those will not work any more... I've got a proposal " Nox announced as the sith soldiers found their weapons simply not firing.

" You have all been labelled as traitors to the sith empire ... You are enemies of the Republic on your own , And you are about to die apon this ship apon entry of the planets atmosphere " Nox crossed his arms behind his back and puffed out his chest.

" But do not fear , I am your saviour . Follow me , And I will guarantee your autonomy from the Republic. Follow me and I will shield you from the empires wrath. You will each live long ... Meaningful lives under my command . You will have families, Children ... riches ... Good lives . all you have to do is kneel ... or die here and now " Nox finished as the ship rattled, Signifying they were about to begin re-entry of the planets surface .

Trask held his blade , Scowling at nox , But found himself surprised as one by one the men and women of the sith took a knee , Inclining their heads before nox as he began to give a pleased clap .

" Perfect ... now that you're all my lackeys I'm inclined to save you ... and so " Nox pushed his hands apart , And the endar spire vanished from their surroundings , Before they found themselves surprised by the metal platform they were deposited on.

" What where ... " Trask began as a blistering explosion overhead drew his attention .

Where he watched the endar spire entering the planets atmosphere and plummeting away from their direction .

" See ... safe " Trask was robbed of breath as he realised what had occurred " Now discard your armours , The sith will be looking for them ... "

" How the hell did you find me " Carth snapped in surprise as nox stood at the door to his apartment with trask wearing sith armour to hide his identity.

" Easily ... now where is she " Nox stepped past carth and into the apartment , Quickly finding the woman ... revan ... where he approached and put a hand to her head as she thrashed in her sleep .

' Ahh her mind is already starting to heal itself ... surprising ... And her connection to the force is forcing itself to the surface. It makes me curious how long it would take anakin to do the same ' Nox took his hand away from her head and turned to carth " Whats your plan carth "

" We need to find bastilla , after we find her , We get out of here ... what about the survivors " Carth asked , Trask became uncomfortable at the man's question whilst nox simply shrugged .

" All the pods safely landed , While most of thr survivors are coming together in the undercity , I'm pretty sure they're pulling the pods apart to make a makeshift base . My followers are currently near the entrance to the under city as we speak , They've renounced the sith and follow me because I told them to now so they're just waiting on our return " Nox explained as he took a seat on the cushioned chair .

" Its true , Those ... former ... sith have chosen to alter their allegiances since they've been marked wanted dead by the empire " Trask explained as carth looked troubled " They've chosen to follow him , And in turn us as long as he's with us ... you are with us ... right "

" Of course ... I may be abit intimidating but trust me ... I'm not one of those sith ... I'm something more than just some jedi or sith " Nox waved his hand dismissively " I'm actually wanting to learn abit from the jedi ... so you're in luck "

" Now though , I'm going to have some of my men scout out for the jedi , Whilst I'll have others join us here , The rest will search for bastilla ... does that work for you " Nox asked as he pulled out a datapad from his robes and connected it to the network.

" That's perfect " Carth reluctantly agreed as nox sent the mental command to the sith soldiers that now followed him .

DAYS LATER

" She's awake huh ... Alright... I'll be there shortly " Nox put down air pair of scanners he had been using to scout the sith military base " Wait for my return , Don't want anything back happening to you guys "

Turning to face a scout from his sith , The woman looked at him with unsure but willing eyes , Garbed in brown rags they had pulled off of a corpse in the undercity .

" Note down their routines and report back to me , And here " Nox held his hands together and focussed , The force coming together as he worked on guiding and using his aeon abilities.

Separating his hands , An MRE sat in his palm , One he remembered from his time as a dark council member .

" This should hold you over for now , When you get back we'll have a proper meal " Nox handed the woman the scanners and the food " By the way , Whats your name "

" Potema ... my name is potema nashial " The woman replied as she accepted the items.

" I'll see you soon potema " Nox startled the woman by fading into thin air before her eyes , All the while she tried to calm the shaking of her wrists when she gazed apon him , It was terrifying trying to hide her force abilities from a being that expressed so much into the force around them that it smothered her .

' Okay ' Potema sighed and knelt down and began scanning the base .

" That's how we sith deal with smart mouthed aliens . Now the rest of you get against the wall before I lose my temper again " The sith solider ordered with his two droids , As Revan and Carth watched him gun down the alien in the hallway .

Turning around , The sith soldier saw them brandishing their blasters , Looking apon them with suspicious eyes .

" Whats this " The man said aghast " Humans hiding out with aliens "

" They're Republic " The man began only to freeze at the black garbed figure that came out from the door next to Carth.

" Actually " Yellow Molten eyes caused the sith soldier to shrink back " They're with me ... and you're interrupting our investigations ... Punishment is due "

" I...i...milord ... I " The man began to grovel as the droids tilted their heads in confusion .

" return to operations " Nox said over his shoulder as he crossed his arms .

Revan looked at him with confused eyes as carth grabbed her shoulder , Dragging her back into the room they came out from .

" What is your name ... And number " Nox growled as he approached the man who had now knelt on the ground.

" Silace O'Neil... my lord my identifier is one one three seven nine eight seven four " The man begged as nox stopped infront of him and the droids .

" Very well " Nox studied the man's features before reaching out to his head , And before the man knew it , Had his memories ... mind and all torn from his coil and added to noxs own .

" Now for you two " Nox simply twisted his hand , Turning the droids to scrap before turning away and returning to revan and Carth .

" Who are you " Revan asked as she held the blaster at noxs head as he entered the room. Her back pinned to the wall as she had obviously intended to spring a trap on him . He paid it no attention as he walked into the room and removed his hood , Showing the woman his youthful features whilst carth pressed the bridge of his nose .

" Now ... There's no need for the blaster ... " Nox shrugged , Crossing his right leg over the left as he brought his hands together.

In an effort to impose control of the situation over the ineffible man ,The woman pointed her blaster at the wall only to find it infact wouldn't shoot any more.

" Now that that's established ... What's your name woman " Nox asked as he brought out his datapad and began to review the reports hus people were sending back to him .

" Alia ... and yours " She gumbled as she tossed the now useless scrap onto the bed

" Obrunik ... kallig " Nox replied as he shrugged " By the way Carth ... I found bastilla "

The man shot up at the casual admittance , Shock on his face at the quick results .

" Well ... I suppose it's more accurate to say I always knew ... But alerting anyone to her location would likely tip off the sith , And cause Malak to turn the city to slag " Nox shrugged as Carth coughed out in open shock . Nox yet ignored the reaction in favour of studying the female revan with squinted eyes.

" YOU KNEW " Carth raged as Trask walked into the room , fastening his armoured gauntlets to his forearms .

" He knew what " Trask asked with a raised eyebrow as Alia became even further guarded at the new arrival .

" HE KNEW WHERE BASTILLA WAS THIS WHOLE TIME ... WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING " Carth screeched and punched the table .

" Because as soon as you find out where she is , You will start turning up trouble ... getting the attention of the sith. And then they find out she's here ... and when you get her they'll resort to bombing the planet . You dont want to be responsible for the planets bombing do you " Nox explained calmly as that seemed to take the wind out of Carths sails .

" You don't know that will happen " Alia replied slowly as she studied nox , Her stand off ish attitude Causing nox to raise an eyebrow at her sudden seeming aggression.

" Actually I do ... Which is why I've been spying a particular couple of transports off world for when we do get bastilla ... So we can get the fuck off taris when shit hits the fan ... Don't want you squishy people dying too quickly " Nox waved his hand at her dismissively .

" You know you count as squishy too right " Alia cracked her knuckles as Nox chuckled .

" Lady , Getting shot with all the blaster bolts in the world wouldn't so much as break my stride . What are you going to do to stop me from doing ... anything " Nox challenged as he slowly rose from his chair , Approaching the woman as he looked down into her own challenging eyes .

In response , She made to punch him , And Yet she froze with her elbow half swing , Her eyes widening as Nox's smile widened .

" See ... even your natural instinct is to ... freeze " Nox tapped her forehead before turning back to carth .

" Here's bastillas location ... I'll start moving our forces to assault the military base while you go and collect bastilla ... We'll have at most two hours once bastilla is surface side before the armada shows up and starts blasting " Nox tossed carth the datapad and began to leave " Trask... Can you go and collect the Republic soldiers in the undercity , Me and my men are going to storm the military base , By the time you arrive ... it'll be ours "

" So who exactly is that guy " Alia asked after nox had departed, The group watching the man's retreating back as he left the building.

" Long story short ... we have no idea " Trask announced with a troubled look , Looking to carth for answers " How exactly did he get free "

Carth winced at trasks question , His eyes turning to the datapad in his grip as he clenched his jaw .

" I don't know how ... but during the raid on the spire he spoke directly into my mind ... Promising to keep our men from dying if I gave him his weapon back ... I took a ... calculated risk ... and it payed off ... he wants to learn from the jedi whatever that means " Carth looked at the detailed map of where bastilla was being held , Apparently ready to be won as a prize.

" By your calculations ... What do you think the chances of the jedi being able to imprison him when we arrive " Trask asked as he crossed his arms , The two of them sharing a long hard look at eachother.

" Capturing that man will take a strike force similar to if not greater than the one sent after revan ... I believe we'll need the entire jedi council to do so " Carth all but whispered as Alia looked at the two men in confusion." I suppose we should focus on getting bastilla back for now , I'll go retrieve our men from the undercity ... We'll just have to trust he'll keep his word "

The subtle chill of his presence soon began to ebate the further away he went , Yet no matter how far away he was , The subtle creep of the shadows , The slight distortion of light around then like their brains were experiencing something they couldn't quite comprehend, All hinted at his presence , And it unsettled carth to no end when he realised the source of the shift in the natural order was the man himself.

' Let's just hope the jedi can deal with him .. even so I need to gain as much information as possible ' Carth frowned and checked the gas in his rifle , A quick nod to Aria setting them into action.

They found themselves directly infront of the access elevator to the surface level , With Nox having his arms crossed as he glared at the abandoned village.

Apparently Aria and carth had managed to help a rather resourceful pair , The two being mission vao and zaalbar .

' Atleast that should speed up our schedule ' Nox looked up at the surface canopy above which served as the base of the city above.

' Still ... wasting our time by helping the people of this sub surface village ... atleast she killed most of the rakghouls ' Nox grunted as a group of over ten men amd women in silver approached.

" Are you ready" Nox looked to potema , The woman wearing a newly acquired set of shining silver sith armour .

" We have everything set milord " Potema replied as he triple checked her sniper , Whilst the rest of his sith followers were all dressed the same , Some wielding spears and blasters , Yet they all wore the same shining silver armour.

" Very good , With me " Nox activated the elevator to the surface , The doors opening to allow them access to the surface .

They all stepped in as one , With nox taking point exactly where the door would open apon reaching the surface.

They waited for the doors to open , But once they did , A simple wave of noxs hand snapped the guards of the elevators head completely around 360 degrees , Where they fell to the ground in complete silence.

" Well the alarm hasn't been raised " Nox quipped as two of his followers ran and pulled the bodies into the elevator where they would be hidden.

" In formation " Nox called over his shoulder as they turned and began to march directly at the base .

The sith fell into two lines behind him , Holding their weapons aloft as they marched in synchronisation behind him .

' How should I do this ' Nox rubbed his chin as he lead them towards a row of sith starfighters ready for takeoff.

' Mind control ... no that's a waste of energy on these fodder . Should I simply press apon them with the force ... maybe not that might cause more untoward damage ' They came to a stop infront of the base doors , And with another wave of hus hand , The door opened before them.

" Greetings " Nox stepped in , Turning to look at the surprised faces of the sith forces within .

" You would do well to ...KNEEL" The weight of the world dropped on the shoulder of the sith within , Many passing out where they would , whilst others found themselves on their hands in an effort to resist being face first into the ground.

Several droids rushed from within the facility , Yet nox paid them no heed as his own silver garbed soldiers rushed forward and blasted the droids with repeater blasters , Turning the machines to slag where they stood .

" Hm ... Round them up , If they don't comply ... execute them " Nox ordered as he made to march towards where he felt a darksider was within the facility.Marching through the facility , Nothing but a quick burst of lightning from his fingers of which he simply flicked at droid and man both , Ended any threat he might have faced .

So it was within five minutes , Where hale had simply sent two sith droids against the wall where they crumbled in on themselves , To where he now found himself before a balding man holding a vibro blade .

" You're the one incharge of this base no " Nox asked as the man pulled out his blade and stood across from nox .

" You will find your life ending here intruder " The man then launched forward, Sweeping the blade towards noxs neck with a determined swing of his blade .

" You're weak sith " Nox stopped the thrust of the sith masters blade with nothing but the open palm of his hand , The sharp edge failing to do anything to his near impenetrable flesh .

" Your understanding of power is flawed " The sith slashed at his chest , Yet the blade was yet again stopped as nox deflected it with the back of his right hand .

" Not even your warblade can cut my flesh , You're pathetic " Growing bored , Nox simply stepped forward and grabbed the man by the neck .

" You're worthless " He simply raised his other hand and began to drain the knowledge, Memories and life-force from the man's body.

By the time the man was nothing but a shrivelled husk , Nox tossed the body to the side . Sighing before he made his way towards the computer console that had the base om high alert .

Accessing the computer port , Nox hacked the system in moments before shutting down the alert , Smiling to himself as he felt his followers finally managed to curb the local enforcements .

" Now ... let's await their arrival "

Standing out the front of the base , Nox had his arms crossed behind his back as he raised an eyebrow at the group that had grown significantly since he had last seen them .

' Canderous Ordo , Carth oanasi , M3 , mission vao , And zaalbar ... not to mention bastila herself ... you do ... relatively... quick work when you have to don't you revan '

Furiously , Bastilla marched up towards him , Her fists balled in anger as nox regarded her with mirth shining in his eyes.

" Well hello again " Nox met her eyes before turning eyes to the newly approaching trask along with the surviving Republic forces .

" Sith " Bastila hissed as nox turned to face Aria.

" Well done Aria, I must commend you for your quick actions , Not to mention freeing bastila by winning the swoop race " Nox subtly pressed into their minds to confirm what he thought.

' How did he know ' He heard bastilla think , Her thoughts in turmoil as he pulled his mental faculties back .

' Perfect '

Nox thought as Aria nodded at him " Well why don't we go inside, We'll be leaving momentarily , I have some ships ready for departure " " Actually " Canderous began as he stepped forward , However shrunk back as nox raised an eyebrow towards the mandalorian .

" What is it ... mandalorian " Nox bit as the man promptly lowered his gaze to the floor in order to look anywhere but Nox's eyes.

" We'll be separating to put a stop Daviks schemes, His hold on taris needs to be stopped " Aria spoke up as she intentionally drew noxs attention from canderous .

Silence reigned for several seconds as nox stared at them unblinkingly , His jaw moving from side to side as he squinted slightly .

Aria shifted several times under his unblinking gaze .

" Do what you must " Nox sniffed , As a chime alerted them to a door opening , Revealing two starships being prepper for takeoff .

" We'll meet you at dantooine , I have to run an errand " Nox informed the Republic group as they all were shuffling onto the ebon hawk .

" Absolutely not I ... " Bastilla began yet found her voice lost as nox simply held his hand up to halt her.

" This is of the utmost importance, pertaining to the dire future , this is non negotiable , I'll be meeting you on dantooine " Nox all but ordered , Squinting as he stood over bastilla.

" I'll go , We do afterall need assurances that you aren't going to inform the sith of the jedis location " Thrask announced as he stepped up to nox whom simply raised an eyebrow.

" do as you will " Nox simply shrugged and began to walk with his soldiers towards the transport ships they had stolen " Deal with Davik quickly , We don't hsve long before the sith armada arrives , Its time to go "Walking with thrask towards the ships , They were met with potema , Who had been now given the rank of captain amongst noxs forces.

" Milord the ships are primed and ready for takeoff , What destination do you desire " Potema asked as she gave her new leader a respectful salute .

" The Stygian caldera " Nox replied as thrask squinted at him .

" What could you possibly want with that location " Trask asked as nox smirked back .

" You already know " Nox quipped as the ship revan and her crew would be using to head to daviks estate lifted off behind them , Though nox gave it a passing glance as he felt bastillas desire to open fire apon him and his men." I must say I must disagree with our current course of action " Trask informed them .

" Trask my man , There is nothing in this universe nor the next which you need fear , More than I. Just nod your head and go along with what I have to say , Okay " Nox turned to trask as his eyes flashed from yellow to glowing purple , As trask felt a pulse escape nox , Nearly sending him to the ground.

Letting go of Trasks shoulder , Nox shook his head and made his way onto the transports .

' Interesting ' Nox thought as something pinged off his senses

.KORRIBAN

A scream tore across korriban , An ethereal wail that shook the world asunder as the living dropped to their knees as a ringing far worse than any tinitus caused blood to escape their ears .

Yathura ban felt her senses go haywire , As a burning sensation rushed down her spine , Flashes of foreign images raring in her mind .

Screams erupted from within the academy as students collapsed to the ground , Holding their heads as a tremor caused korriban to shake violently.

The academy began to shake as fissures formed in the ceiling.

" MASTER " Yathura cried out as she reached for her sith master , Said man slumping over his desk as blood began to rush down his face .

Flashes of fire ran through her mind , The scent of smoke and plumes of billowing ash filling her senses as she saw the settlement of dreshdae razed to the ground as a man garbed in black stood amongst the corpses of the entire sith academy .

A mad howl , Cackling across the winds forced her attention on the man at the centre of the chaos .

Purple eyes shon beneath the cowl of the man , As a sinister smile of pearly white teeth shon in the orange flames that tinted his black robes.

" KNEEL " A thousand voices caused yathuras head to throb as the darkside around then seemed to pulse and throb as ... something rapidly approached korriban. The visions seemed to fade away , Yet the slowly unveiling presence within the force grew exponentially more powerful as they approached .

" Do .. you see it ... him " Uthar Wynn hissed and struggled to rise from his desk .

"Who was that master " Yuthura cried out as she felt her legs crumbling below them as a weight fell apon the academy.

" I don't know ... but I feel ... they're here " Wynn cried out as korribans shaking reached a new high as the tombs began to shake and collapse .

OVER KORRIBAN

They arrived to a sight trask would never soon forget .

" Odd , my presence is affecting korribans state , Is it because of my devouring of typhojem in my own universe ... or something else " Nox smiled viciously as typhojems power in this universe cried out in a symphony of dark voices as it clawed it's way out of korriban and joined with it's larger portion within his very being , Stripping the left handed God of the merger power he had managed to suffuse himself with since his death in this universe .

' So typhojem is an existence found across the vast multiverse , As a natural existence, A guaranteed existence across all planes and all times ... Interesting ' Nox couldn't help but smirk at the prospect of there being potentially more power out there across the cosmos for him to consume .' If i can link not only to the residual energies of this universes typhojem , Then maybe i can do it to others too ' Nox couldnt help but stare off into the mid distance as he thought of branching out . ' But such thoughts are for another time , I would need to be careful regardless ' Nox reinforced his mental fortitude as the last embers of black tar like energy flowed into his body , Leaving trask to look at him with no small amount of fear .

The alderanian watching in terror as the energy that was ripped from the very sands of korriban be sucked into and absorbed by the creature beside him .

" I told you " Nox viciously cut through the air , As his right hand rose to point at trask , His fingers erupting into a series of Pale , Ashen grey tentacles that speared through the air and snatched trasks blaster from his hands .

' Good , About time , my control over this shells cellular structure is now ... complete , Complete metamorphosis or even partial metamorphosis to what I desire is now in the grasp of my hands ... Truly the powers at the tips of an aeons fingertips are nothing to scoff at ... now if I could just amplify that and extend such a field of control from my body into the surrounding atmosphere ' Nox mused as mass of tentacles that was now his right arm slowly morphed back into his natural organic hand .

" I am a creature beyond your understanding mortal " Nox snapped as trask sunk back an delerius fright , As he was assaulted by a series of mental attacks from nox , Causing the man the crumbled to the ground , Holding his head as he screamed in pain and horror .

" bring us down " Nox regarded potema with piercing eyes , The blonde Nodding quickly as the vessels they were on rapidly dove through the atmosphere .

...

Dreshdae was tense , More these than anyone present had ever seen , With scores of sith students and their teachers marching from the academy and forcefully occupying the settlement.

Yuthura gripped the hilt of her saber as they watched three transport vessels rapidly approach the settlements landing pads .

All awhile behind the leader of the vessels , The sands of korriban seemed to fold in on themselves in an effort of following the vessel , A sandstorm rising as it followed the ship .

The man took a single step off the ramp onto the sands of Korriban , And the world fell away around them.

To all around nox , It was like the very universe itself was unmade before them , As they found themselves , Each and every one of them , were floating in a black void , Robbed of their faculties , Yet they could all see eachother .

From one to another , They tried to move, Tried to sceam as parents reached for their children , Yet found themselves unable to reach for them as they found their bodies unresponsive in this void.

Yuthura had never felt such such profound terror as her eyes slowly tracked through the void where she could clearly see her master , who was oddly enough perfectly Illuminated despite the void they were in.

Try as she might , She could not blink , Nor could she simply flex her finger , Nor was she able to call the force to her aid .

' It this what it is to be dead ' Yuthura felt the chill all around her pricking at her skin , As she felt tears begin to prick at the edges of her eyes .

" AAAAAAHHHHHH " Yuthuras eyes snapped to a nikto child screaming , Whom was facing upwarra slightly as he floated .

" EEEEEEHHHHHHHHH" The child's mother cried out in terror as the rest of them soon turned to where the two aliens were looking .

Looking up towards where to commotion was coming from , Yuthura felt something odd , Something she couldn't quite quantify as her lip quivered.

There , Far up above their position, Across an impossible distance .

Floated a being of Ashen white flesh . It was humanoid in shape , Yet it held six arms on its torso . Each of its arms was spread wide , Hands open and facing upwards as it floated there .

Yet these six arms weren't what terrified yuthura , Put the fear of death and gods into her very being .

No what terrified her to no end was two things .

One of these , Was the creatures head . It was indeed humanoid in shape . Yet it held no identifying features . It was missing eyes and ears , It didn't even have a nose nor a mouth [ Look up lia kimura faceless figures , Like that without ears ]

It was like the creatures head was an incomplete art , Uncanny and inately terrifying . Yet it evidently knew where they were regardless as its neck stretched out in their directions , A sickening cracking sounding as its neck appeared to snap and elongate as it peered at them.

What was next to terrify the wanna sith leader , Was what appeared to spread from the back of the creature .

Hundreds , Thousands , Innumerable long arm like appendages spread from the creatures spine , Spreading in all directions far and wide as far as they could see in any direction.

At the opposite sides of these things humanoid appendages were long , Gaunt hands with six fingers , Each digit was bare of anything like claws or fingernails , Rather it was just long flesh like fingers tipped with nothing but clear ash like flesh.

It was one of these flesh draped , Gaunt hands that drew everyone's attention as they looked up at the clearly divine creature .

This hand , Slowly , Painfully slowly lowered to them as it grew exponentially in size , This single hand soon eclipsing every one of them under its sheer size.

' No ' Yuthura cried out internally as the Ashen hand soon was all they could see , Below them was the void as infinite as it was , And above , The six fingered hand covered all as it sought to bring them into its grasp.

' NOOOOOOOO 'Yuthura please as it reached them .

All around them. Trask watched as every Organic before them floated above the ground , Their heads looking upwards , Their arms wide as their eyes appeared murky .

It lasted less than five seconds , All before they fell to the ground much like a puppet who's strings had been severed .

His eyes tracked to the being he knew to be the culprit , His hands shaking as he toyed with his blaster .

His forehead sweat profusely , A layer of sweat running down his greyed hair as he slowly began to raise his blaster to the back of noxs head.

His heartbeat hammered his ears , As he gulped with a dry throat .

But it was for naught , Just as the people that had been previously suspended in their air began to wake and look towards the source in an unsure gaze.

A cold , No doubt metal barrel was pressed to the back of his head.

" I don't think so " Potema spoke in an eerily calm voice as she pressed her blaster to the back of his head , Causing the alderanian to frown deeply , His eyes searching.

' Do I do it , Do I stop this monster here ... now ... do I save then all ... Regardless of the fact that I won't be there to see it ' Trask thought as his face became stone , His eyes becoming steel ' Yes '

It was slow ... Painfully slow , As his finger began to curl around the trigger of his blaster.

It was too slow however , As one moment he was about to end the monsters life , And the next ...

He was suspended in the air by a single long Ashen appendage , Six fingers curling around his throat as the impossibly long , Thin appendage protruded from the base of back of noxs cloak .

' Monster ' Trask thought as he looked towards noxs hood , Of which was slowly turning to him , The appendage holding him in the air as it shifted and brought trask towards noxs front, Lengthening and shifting before he was eye to eye with the shining purple iris's of the demon before him.

" Its the hand " Yuthura cried out as her eyes refused to look away from the greyed appendage wrapped around his neck .

" The hand of God " Uthar cried out as he all but dropped himself to his knees .

" KNEEL before your God " Potema took helm of the situation as she came forward and prostrated herself before nox , Causing the man to smirk slightly , Making sure trask didn't die in the grip of his newly generated appendage.

" Welcome " Nox spread his two main arms wide in an almost hug like gesture.

' This ... is going to be fun '

CHAPTER COMPLETE

Welcome to the past ... This is going to be a quick learning arc of which nox begins to truly understand and use his powers , With understanding the affects it has on both himself , The universe at large and the people around him .

If you want me to skip this and simply move to the end where he returns to his universe , I can do so if you wish and do a recap , If not , This alternate universe is going to be very interesting in what is to come .

The next 3 or 4 chapters will be housed in this universe and will contain this journey , Afterwards , He will return home with new powers , And a new perspective and understanding . Let's see how it goes.

FIRST OF ALL LETS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

1. Nox is allowing for palpatine to continue to go along with his plans for the current time , allowing palpatine to further his own goals will in turn progress Nox's own . however when palpatines plans contradict his own or is of no further use , You can bet that Nox will act against palpatine with rutheless efficiency.

2. Zakuuls economy is interesting. The vast majority if not all of the planets functions are managed by Scorpio or another AI system currently in production on Iokath . Foods and fluids are artificially created on both zakuul and iokath , With iokath focussing on my experimental sources such as using models of the star forge technology provided by Nox to create bew artificial and modified foods .

Medications are all around free for everyone on zakuul whilst the standard of living of every citizen on the planet is the highest in the galaxy .

The basic functions of everyday life are all around managed by specifically designed droids overseen by Skyva and scorpio herself who is monitoring and tweaking their performance when need be to bring up the standard of living higher than ever.

Zakuul also makes a note of employing and acquiring extra galactic resources through back channels away from public eyes , Such as the hutts to recieve things they wouldn't be able to acquire on their own , Such as slaves or raw minerals not native to their location.

And with their ability to basically print out an unlimited amount of unmarked currencies , They can approach and acquire the help of anyone they wish.

Limitless wealth , Limitless medicine and foods and waters , A dream like city. it's pretty much a utopia that ultimately answers to nox.

The blind faith in the people of zakuul towards nox , Scorpio and the higher authorities means they could pretty much just pick up a child and take her away and the parents would be nothing but smiles in the beliefs that nox will do right by them.

3. Zakuul does indeed have a sort of Central intelligence agency.

Every citizen apon birth is given a neural link that is housed by the back of their right ear , It officially to the public allows them to interact with the public domain and local networks without any need for a physical device , Such physical devices are nothing but a luxury for then to enjoy.

Unofficially these links allow for the monitoring of every interaction ever individual my ever have , Whether it be physical or digital , Its all recorded .

Out of the prying eyes of the public , A modified and extremely intelligent AI created by nox , Scyva and scorpio rests within a data bunker on Iokath , It collects and files every interaction between every Organic and non organic between zakuul and iokath. It monitors all physicial and digital traffic , and then it relays everything it finds to a two parties.

The first of these parties are nox and scorpio , Any major events are relayed to them for then to sort out.

All other traffic is sent to an organic task force of a branch of artificially enchanted military personel specifically designed to be able to comb through obscene amounts of data at a moments notice.

These personel are then overseen by inorganic machine like brains that fine tuned the process to ensure their is no error on either part , Of which the compiled data is sent through several more artificial processors to ensure nothing but peak proficiency with zero failures.

Outside of zakuul in the regular galaxy , Agents more often than not kidnap either government officials or regular persons , stealing the knowledge in their minds through the force. Or using chemicals and hard to detect modifications such as organic machines to an individuals body to turn the person into an unknowing agent or sleeper agent that can be activated and controlled at a moments notice.

4. Every entity featured within this story so far has either been in legends , Obscure legends or officially approved material by lucasarts with licenses approved . Everything within this story exists within starwars lore in some medium .

Not to mention , Zakuul and scorpio has all eyes on the digital net of the larger galaxy , with an entire facility on iokath used to cycle through and select certain data streams to monitor throughout the galaxy. Most of which come directly to and from the senate building on coruscant .

In essance , Zakuul knows ... and it knows everything.

5. As for noxs celestial benefactor , You'll have to figure out that on your own , It'll be stated blatantly near the end of the story but until then .
