Meditation was always a relaxing method, even for one trained in the Dark Side of the Force. It helps calm and center the anger a Dark Sider feels, channel their rage, hatred into a singularity and focus it on what it's originally aimed at instead of letting it consume them and risk the chances of making a mistake that could be easily avoided if the anger was controlled.
To Jayden, this was a serious lesson taught to him by Dooku.
His Master knew of the hatred Jayden carried for the Jedi, for he had always blamed them for not being there to save his parents from the dark-robed being that slaughtered them. A dark-robed being wielding a double-bladed Lightsaber. The memory had become… blurry over the years, as Jayden had been only four when it happened, and he couldn't make out the details of the man who killed his parents, nor could he remember seeing his face clearly… but he would never forget that roar.
"WHERE IS THE CHILD?!"
Jayden shuddered as the memory flash came back and he began his calming exercises to prevent another relapse like he did when he worked with Cad Bane. Meditation helped to soothe the anger, though it didn't diminish for a second. When his parents were slaughtered before his very eyes, all he was left with was hopelessness, grief, pain, and that slowly grew into anger and rage as he grew older. Dooku guided and nurtured his anger, not directly blaming the Jedi, but he did believe that if the Jedi had not become so arrogant and shadows of what they once were then they could have prevented what happened.
For Jayden, there could be no Light. No comfort in it. No seeking it. He had seen enough to know the Light would not give him what he wanted.
Justice.
But the Dark Side…
The Dark Side of the Force would give him exactly that.
He had vowed, silently, to one day become the most powerful Sith ever. One to surpass and rival his Master, Sidious, and Siths of old; Plagueis, Bane, Malgus, Malak, Nihilus, and even his ancestor Revan.
Of course he had his fears when he learned more of the ways of the Sith, such as the Rule of Two, determining there can only be a Master and an Apprentice. Dooku had two students; him and Ventress, yet there had been no bitter rivalry between them, only combat spars that kept their skills sharp, and a friendly rivalry between them as they strove to prove themselves better than the other.
Even in the bedroom.
And Jayden knew how the Rule of Two worked; always two there are. No more, no less, and while he knew he was not a full-on Sith Lord despite having the title of 'Darth', he wondered why Dooku's Master, Sidious had not been killed yet or ordered Dooku to eliminate either him, Ventress, or the two of them.
Unless there was plans for the Rule of Two to be discarded, broken.
Dooku often said his Master planned for an Empire to replace the Republic, an Empire that would need Sith like the Sith Empire of the Old Republic.
Jayden sighed and banished these thoughts from his mind, they were troubling him further from his meditations rather than calming him. His Master would not betray him, he looked to Dooku as a second father, and could not fathom the idea of one day usurping his Master and teaching his own Apprentice unless it was him and his Master usurping Sidious.
The Sith always betray one another… A quiet voice whispered in his head but he banished it, inhaling deeply then exhaling while closing his eyes, allowing his mind to drift, to one of the training sessions he was put in by his Master's orders.
Location: Yavin 4
Region: Outer-Rim
Date: 22 BBY
Yavin 4, also known as Yavin, was a jungle-covered fourth moon in orbit around the red gas giant Yavin Prime.
The surface of Yavin 4 was divided into several continental masses, two of which were Starloft and Wetyin. Notable natural formations included Massassi Valley, Skygazer Hill, and the Ferra Groves. The verdant world had a comfortable, temperate climate but a challenging ecosystem and dangerous predators.
The moon's landmasses were covered by dense jungles and rain forests whose flora included purple-barked Massassi trees, grenade fungi, bioluminescent orchids, and climbing ferns. Yavin 4 also had swampy areas. The moon, however, was completely lacking in any mineral resources of significance.
Yavin's had a peculiar history. Around five thousand years ago, the ancient warriors of the Massassi lived on Yavin 4 and constructed the Great Temple. The Great Temple was alleged to have been built under the leadership of the Sith Lord Naga Sadow.
The Massassi admired Sadow as a god despite being poorly treated by him, and the Temple was raised in Sadow's honor. Archeologists later proposed that the Great Temple may have functioned as a large-scale communications device to contact other Sith Lords throughout the galaxy.
Being enslaved by the Sith, the Massassi species went extinct millennia ago.
But to Jayden, Yavin 4 held a greater reasoning for his presence here. Not only was this another training mission assigned to him by his Master, who was on Geonosis right now, having a meeting with the other leaders of the Separatist movement. Dooku had told him to not worry about the going ons in the Galaxy at the moment, as Jayden had heard about the failed recent attempt on Senator Amidala's life.
Jayden sat in a temple, but not just any temple. The temple he stood in, surrounded in a sphere of holographic screens displaying his combat training sessions for him to analyze and pick parts to improve upon, was in fact the very temple where his ancestor, Revan, was buried with his mask, Lightsabers and robes. All were carefully preserved, even from the passage of time, in the tomb. Although that didn't stop them from being covered in dust, which meant they needed a good clean and repairs.
Though, he wouldn't be able to wear the robes until he was at least in his later teenage years, near his twenties at best, given they are fit for a grown man, not a fourteen-year old.
However, Jayden had none with him as he stood there, watching a holo-recording of him deflecting laser blasts from probe droids, deflecting the blasts while twirling his crossguard Lightsaber. He mentally noted that he'll have to pick up his speed when deflecting and redirecting the shots back at his enemies.
If his Master was telling him the truth, war would be coming and he would soon be facing down Jedi Knights in the battlefields.
However, as Jayden stood there, he felt his patience beginning to wane. He had been told to venture here, not only to uncover his ancestor's tomb, but to prepare himself for another test that his Master was arranging.
Just at that thought, an alert caught his attention and he brought one of the screens to the front, his eyes narrowing as he watched a shuttle enter the planet's atmosphere. But not just any shuttle.
A Jedi shuttle.
One big enough to carry more than one Jedi.
Jayden's eyes narrowed as a small smirk grew onto his face. Finally… He thought, before turning and striding out towards the temple's entrances as the screens shut off, Jayden threw his red hood up which shrouded half his face in shadow.
….
Jedi Knight Nevets Otal, a human male in his late twenties, took in the view of Yavin's dense jungle. Yavin had a long, violent history despite being untouched by civilisation and mostly dominated by it's predators. However, Yavin was the sight of the infamous Revan's defeat, the planet where the Sith lord Naga Sadow constructed his temple. Yavin had a past involving the Jedi and the Sith of old back in the days of the Old Republic.
But now, something has drawn Nevets and several fellow Jedi to this planet after receiving a mysterious message. And upon arriving on the planet, Neverts could sense a great darkness that didn't originate from where Naga Sadow's temple or Revan's tomb. The Jedi weren't close enough to discover those two locations, which they would not dare approach.
Frowning as he sensed the disturbance, Nevets took out his communicator and held it to his mouth to contact his fellow Jedi. "Be on guard, I can sense a great disturbance in the Force."
"Noted." Jedi Master Saskan Hejj responded. Just as Nevets was about to sign off, his eyes widened as he sensed the dark presence coming closer at an alarming speed.
"Wait! The disturbance is close-!" Nevets heard the sound of a Lightsaber activating and looked up in time to see a figure drop down towards him with a crossguard Lightsaber ignited, the red blade humming. Nevets called his Lightsaber to him with the Force, igniting it, and blocked the red blade with his blue blade. Nevets frowned as he took in the sight of his attacker.
He was young, barely in his mid-teenage years, short dark hair and brown eyes, clad in red sleeveless robes with silver armor on the chest, silver metal gauntlets or gloves, and silver metal boots. However, the red Lightsaber, the cold glare, and the dark feeling of the Dark Side around this boy made it all too clear to Neverts as to what this was.
"A Sith…" He said in realization.
Jayden gave a small, barely noticeable twitch of his lips at the Jedi's words before his face hardened as the Jedi broke the saber lock and rolled back, but Jayden was quick on the attack, twirling his saber before swinging for a decapitation blow but Nevets blocked it with his blade, then proceeded to block Jayden's onslaught of attacks as the Sith Apprentice struck left, then right, down low, then overhead. His assault was lethal, aggressive, yet he demonstrated his growing skill in Form II: Makashi, which the Jedi obviously noted as his eyes widened slightly in recognition of the form, knowing there had been only one Jedi as skilled in Makashi than any other.
"I see Count Dooku has found an Apprentice." He muttered quietly, unable to help the small spike of fear that shot through his body as the young teenager's cold, brown eyes glared into his green eyes. Nevets could sense the Dark Side swirling around this boy like a whirlwind, and yet was also like an inferno ready to consume and destroy everything in it's path.
Jayden went back on the offensive, forcing Nevets to defend himself as he was driven back step by step due to the onslaught of vicious, aggressive-filled attacks. When presented with an opening, Nevets swung his Lightsaber, but Jayden leaned far back with acrobatic skill, then kicked the Jedi in the chest hard to make him gasp and bend forward while stumbling back with a hand on his stomach. Twirling his Lightsaber, Jayden slashed the Jedi across the throat, through the shoulder and right arm, remaining still as he watched the light leave the Jedi's eyes before his corpse fell to the ground.
That's one Jedi… and I sense five more nearby. Jayden thought with a cruel, cold smirk at the sight of a Jedi dead at his feet, a teenage boy. The Jedi had clearly underestimated him because of his age.
"NO!" A male voiced shouted, interrupting Jayden's solace of victory as his smirk fell and the cold, dark expression was back. He straightened up then turned to meet his opposition.
Two Jedi ran into view, Jedi Master Saskan Hejj, a human male in his thirties, along with his green-skinned female Togruta Padawan Fera Akiva. Both of them had their Lightsabers ignited, the Master wielding a green blade, his Padawan with a blue blade. Jayden twirled his saber and entered a Makashi stance.
Saskan breathed in what sounded like disbelief as he stared at the Sith Apprentice. "It cannot be…" he muttered. Jayden gave a slight smirk. The Jedi believed the Sith were extinct, and had grown arrogant, lazy, sloppy and rusty in their skill. They should've been more perceptive rather than arrogant to assume their ancient enemies had been destroyed for good. However, Jayden's smirk fell as three more Jedi popped into view to join their fellow Jedi.
Jedi Knight Nareb Tajun, another human male in his early twenties, ready for a fight with a blue Lightsaber ignited. Beside him was Seltii Saran, a human female of around the same age, holding a green Lightsaber. And finally, Permi Tofkis, another human female who wielded a blue Lightsaber.
Five Jedi to kill… it was a challenge Jayden welcomed with open arms.
Twirling his Lightsaber, Jayden entered his common Makashi stance, silently urging the Jedi to give him their best.
"We shouldn't have come here." Permi breathed as her grip tightened on her Lightsaber.
"We must inform the Council!" Nareb said to Saskan, who shook his head without taking his eyes off the Sith before them.
"There is no time. We'll have to deal with it ourselves." He looked at his Padawan, sensing her nervousness and fear, something he could not fault her for as she knew the Sith were meant to be extinct save for the appearance of one ten years ago on Naboo, but it had been unclear whether that mysterious Sith had been a Master or an Apprentice.
Always two there are, no more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice.
And Saskan could tell this boy, not even midway through his teen years, was merely an Apprentice.
Jayden's eyes narrowed as he sensed the Jedi Master's thoughts, for he was arrogantly open even in his mind. He was underestimating him. Believing him easily defeated due to being outnumbered and because he was merely an Apprentice.
"Everyone focus!" Saskan told his fellow Jedi, then looked at his Padawan again. "Stay close to me."
Choosing to act first, Jayden charged at the Jedi with Permi and Seltii rushing to meet him halfway. Jayden deflected their blades with quick speed before Force leaping into the air and coming down towards Saskan and Fera, who had to dart to left and right respectively to avoid the red Lightsaber from ending their lives. Jayden ripped his weapon from the ground and blocked the Togruta Padawan's attempted attack, kicking her in the stomach to knock her back before twirling around to block her Master's strike.
He thrusted his left hand out to send Nareb off his feet with a Force push, then pushed Saskan back and swung, causing him to jump. Jayden leaped back into a backflip to avoid a duo attack by Permi and Seltii, landing on his feet with a small grunt. He rolled his right shoulder as he began to slowly pace back and forth, his eyes trained on the Jedi.
Watching the Jedi form up, Jayden charged again and rolled under Permi's side swing, blocked Seltii's decapitation attempt before Force jumping over her and he whirling around to block Nareb's Lightsaber while shooting Force lighting at Fera, who was saved by the intervention of her Master who blocked the beam with his Lightsaber. Jayden pushed Nareb back, leaned back to avoid his attack, parried his next attack then whirled around to kick a leaping Permi in the stomach, causing her to hit the ground with a grunt.
Jayden sent Nareb off his feet into Saskan and Fera, who had been about to run and take Jayden together. The Sith Apprentice whirled around to parry Seltii's pattern of attacks, holding his Lightsaber with just one hand as he took steps back, then started striking back, aiming high which caused her to raise her Lightsaber in instinct to block, but Jayden had faked his overhead attack and stabbed her through the chest with his Lightsaber. He ripped his weapon out and whirled around as her body fell down behind him.
"No!" Permi, getting back to her feet, rushed at Jayden with Saskan, Nareb and Fera at her side. Jayden blocked and parried their sabers with quick speed, then slid across the grass on his knees before whirling back around in a stance, then Force-dashed at them, driving his boot into Permi's stomach, then blocked Fera's attack only to elbow her in the face, making her stumble back. Jayden turned and took on Nareb and Saskan, parrying and blocking their attacks, before he jumped over them, still blocking their blows, and landed in a roll, straightening up to twirl his Lightsaber and slash it through Permi's body as she was getting up.
Fera gasped in horror at how quickly this assassin managed to kill two Jedi quickly, two Jedi that were skilled in their own right, and yet this Sith had taken them out without so much as breaking a sweat. Fear flooded her veins as the Sith stared the remaining three Jedi down coldly, his eyes briefly turning to her and she saw nothing but cold, malice hatred aimed directly at them, the brown eyes changing to a yellow-red colour the Sith were known for.
"Stay close to me, my Apprentice." Her Master told her, not taking his eyes off the Sith. "Do not be frightened. He is just one boy."
"Y-Yes, Master." Fera nodded.
Jayden's expression barely changed, he merely tightened his grip on his saber before charging to meet them. He ducked under Saskan's swing, parried Nareb's slash, then blocked Fera's attack before ducking down to avoid an attack from behind by Saskan, who Jayden delivered a quick punch to the stomach, then jumped back to avoid a strike from Nareb. Jayden blocked and parried Nareb and Fera's combined attacks, then ducked down to avoid another attack from behind by Saskan, then sent Fera off her feet with a Force push, turning his attention to the two Jedi males.
He stepped back as he blocked their attacks repeatedly, then dropped to his knees to make their sabers clash with each other, then shot back up a second later, whirling around to catch Saskan's saber with his own, and Nareb's was halted by the Force, Jayden gritting his teeth slightly.
"You have been beaten." Saskan declared, and Jayden sneered at the arrogance he could hear in the Jedi's voice and could see it in his eyes. His attention shifted to Nareb as he added on.
"There is no escape for you." Jayden merely scoffed before he pushed his arm forward, sending Nareb stumbling while Jayden sidestepped Saskan's attack and focused on him with relentless attacks that forced the Jedi Master back, then Jayden caught him off guard with a jump and double kick to the face that sent the Jedi to the ground with a grunt. Jayden landed on his feet and was quick to re-engage Nareb in a duel, ducking, blocking and parrying the Jedi's attacks before he performed a heavy parry, allowing Jayden to twirl his saber into reverse grip as he turned and stabbed Nareb through the stomach.
Now with two Jedi left, Jayden turned his attention to the Master and Padawan, who got to their feet and faced him while seeing they were the only Jedi alive now.
"We can't stop him. We have to retreat." Fera said, her voice thick with emotion at the death around them and standing in front of them.
"If we let him escape, it could mean the end for all of us." Saskan pointed out sternly, then placed his hand on his Padawan's cheek to ease her worries. "You have to trust me."
Fera glanced at the patiently waiting Sith, then glanced at her Master before nodding in determination. "Okay."
Together, the Master and Apprentice rushed Jayden who prepared himself and proceeded to parry their attacks with quick precision and speed, twirling around so as to not let himself be backed into a corner he couldn't get out of. He rushed them, ducked under Saskan's Lightsaber and sent the Padawan off her feet and into a tree with a Force push, then whirled around to block Saskan's Lightsaber. Saskan attacked with more aggression, forcing Jayden onto the defensive, before he grunted as Saskan landed a hit on his bare left shoulder, causing him to back off and look at the burning wound with anger before indifference showed on his face.
Jayden took a quick glance around his surroundings. The jungle was too dense for him to finish this. He had to lure the Jedi into a trap, turn their own arrogance against them. The Master would be easy, his arrogance blinded him to rational reasoning such as retreat while his Padawan was fearful to continue the attack.
Shooting Saskan a smirk, he ran off towards a series of cliffs and hills in the forest.
Fera ran up to her Master's side and grabbed his arm. "We must retreat. We've already lost too much!" She said, her voice thick from unshed tears, but her Master pulled his arm from her grasp.
"We can get him." He insisted before looking at her. "Don't be afraid, my young Apprentice. I will protect you. Come!" He charged after the Sith, Fera reluctantly following a moment later.
…
Saskan and Fera ran between large rock-walls, which they noticed was shortening their space for quick movements. They moved forward cautiously, their grips tight on their Lightsabers. He stopped, gesturing for his Padawan to stop as well. "Focus." he instructed her, to have her use her senses in the Force to locate their adversary. They stepped forward in a more cautious, slow manner, their eyes shifting above them in case they were attacked from above. Saskan then looked ahead, to ensure the assassin didn't jump out from around a corner to catch them off guard.
Suddenly his sense of danger blared and he looked up in time to see Jayden jumping down his Lightsaber raised, but Saskan quickly blocked and landed an elbow to the Sith Apprentice's face, making him stumble back but he quickly brushed it off to block Fera's attack without looking, then switched back and fourth in blocking and parrying the Jedi's attacks.
He ducked under Saskan's Lightsaber then took the Jedi off guard with a punch that sent him into the wall before whirling on the green-skinned Togruta behind him. He attacked with focused aggression, making her have to take steps back as he unleashed an onslaught against her blocks. They entered a brief saber lock for a second, and Jayden twirled his saber, making her arm snap up which allow him to deliver a kick straight to it, causing her to release her Lightsaber which Jayden split into two pieces with a quick swing of his blade, leaving her defenseless.
He swung and she jumped back, but he turned around to block her Master's attack. Then, with one hand gripping his Lightsaber, reached out with his left to catch Fera with a Force, choke, lifting her off her feet before he dropped her as Saskan moved to attack, to protect his Padawan.
The duel became more fiercer as Saskan attacked with more aggression, which grew as Jayden blocked his attacks while shooting the Jedi a smirk, taunting him. However, his smirk dropped when Saskan sidestepped a swing of his blade then sent him into the wall with a Force push. Jayden quickly leaned his head to the side to avoid being stabbed as his Lightsaber raised up to block the blade, his teeth gritting as the Jedi tried to decapitate him.
Growling, Jayden managed to break the lock and get out of the corner, the Jedi attacking with swings that struck the wall. Jayden ran up the wall and leaped back with the Force enhanced into his legs. Saskan followed his movements and moved to strike just as Jayden touched the ground, however the Sith Apprentice ducked, twirling his saber at the same time, and then drove it straight through Saskan's chest.
Saskan's fierce expression melted to one of realisation as he looked into Jayden's cold eyes, then looked at Fera as sorrow entered his own. "I'm sorry…" He whispered, then his body dropped to the ground, Jayden pulling his blade out.
From Saskan's hand, his Lightsaber rolled to Fera who panted heavily from exhaustion and emotion, her breaths shaky with now released tears. Jayden turned to her, ready to end this, but he halted as he watched the young Padawan, who was about the same age as him, cry for her Master. His smirk dropped as a frown took it's place, feeling a small sense of… compassion? He shook this feeling away but continued to watch the Jedi.
Fera looked up at him with red eyes, filled with pain, sorrow, sadness, and even anger. Jayden just stared down at her blankly, then his expression turned to a snarl as he reared his Lightsaber back, Fera closing her eyes to meet the inevitable death…
Only to hear the sound of Lightsabers clashing together.
She snapped her eyes open to see Nareb standing there, wounded from the Lightsaber stab in his stomach but he had managed to survive it, if only barely, He locked eyes with her. "Run!" He shouted at her before he was elbowed by Jayden right where his wound was.
Jayden strode after him, swinging his weapon. The Jedi's blocks were sloppy due to the wound he had sustained, and it was easy for Jayden to slash the Lightsaber arm, then he swung his blade three more times, twice across the chest and the third through the neck, chopping the Jedi into two pieces and removing his head.
Jayden's shoulders heaved a little before he rolled them then turned to finish off the last Jedi. However, she was gone. But he could sense her through the Force and so he followed her.
…
Fera panted as she ran through the jungle, her Master's Lightsaber clutched tightly in her hand. She had to run. She had to escape. To make it back to the ship. If she can warn the Jedi Council, then there's a chance the Sith can be stopped. This thought process drove her to keep running, even when she was exhausted and panting.
Stumbling out the streets and into a large clearing, she spotted a massive temple ahead. It was one of the ancient temples they had seen when they landed, and it had been nearby from this very temple that they landed. Hope surging through her, Fera got to her feet and ran in the direction she knew the ship would be, but started to slow down from mere exhaustion.
And then she sensed it.
The dark feeling.
And it was behind her.
Fera stared ahead, wondering if she could perhaps make it to the ship and take off in time. However, thoughts of escape were pushed to the back of her mind as the image of her fellow Jedi slain took center stage, her Master's death… and the feeling of wanting justice. Revenge. Anger. Her hands clenched into fists and she turned, a focused, angry expression on her face.
She will end this Sith today or die trying.
Jayden's expression shifted with some measure of surprise, but he steeled himself while activating his Lightsaber. Fera did the same, her Master's green blade igniting. The two stared each other down as a small smirk appeared on Jayden's face, slowly beginning to pace with Fera copying his movements, the two making a circle as they walked without taking their eyes off each other. Soon, Jayden came to a stop, smirk gone, and nothing but cold eyes staring right into her very soul.
Gritting her teeth, Fera charged. Jayden barely moved as he watched. With a cry, Fera swung her Lightsaber but Jayden blocked, gripping his weapon with both hands as he blocked attacks from the left, right, above, below, then blocked a saber lock, spinning around before kicking the Togruta in the stomach which made her stumble a few steps. Jayden and regarded her blankly.
Fera glared at him and swung her weapon, Jayden sidestepping each which made her anger grow. Now with a feeling of taunting and playing with his opponent, Jayden merely ducked, stepped above, or sidestepped her attacks. He then halted her Lightsaber with the Force, face straining a little, and he watched her grit her teeth as she tried to push back.
Deactivating his Lightsaber and hooking it to his belt, much to her surprise, he caught her off guard when he blasted her with Force lightning that made her scream and fly back, landing on her back. After a minute, he stopped his attack and watched the smoke drift off her body, knowing she was still alive.
Fera groaned weakly as she rolled onto her stomach, crawling, then spotted her Master's Lightsaber nearby and reached for it… when a boot stepped in between her and it. Slowly, she looked up to the one who would be her killer, glaring at him with defiance.
Jayden stared at her for a good long moment, his now brown eyes staring into hers before they shifted to a yellow-red as he allowed his anger, his hate for the Jedi, to take action. Wordlessly, he activated his blade, and Fera didn't get a chance to scream before he swung the blade and ended her life.
Jayden deactivated his Lightsaber, staring down at the Padawan's corpse, before he wordlessly turned and walked away, throwing his hood up.

"Lord Khan?"
Jayden opened his eyes as he was brought from his meditation at the sound of a droid's voice. He did not turn around, but he did address it. "This had better be good." He said with warning.
"Count Dooku commands you to make contact with him." The droid said. Jayden inhaled deeply then exhaled.
"Very well." He said, and waited for the droid to leave before he called his holocom to him with the Force and placed it on the metal floor. He shifted so he could be crouched to a knee as a hologram of his Master was projected. "What is thy bidding, my Master?"
"I have a task for you, my young Apprentice." Dooku wasted no time in getting to the details. "Recently, General Grievous has captured Jedi Master Eeth Koth, and no doubt the Jedi will make a rescue attempt. You will link up with Grievous near the Saleucami System and ensure the Jedi's rescue ends in failure."
"I shall leave at once, my Master." Jayden bowed his head before the hologram ceased transmitting…
And that's it for this chapter everyone. Let me know what you think. Yeah, it was a flashback chapter of Jayden during training, really, and I figured it was fitting to show it. Will this be the only one? Not sure. But this does help confirm what Jayden was doing during the events of Attack of the Clones, since there are subtle references to it... well, a mention of those events happening at the same time as Jayden's training session.
