Star Wars | Rise of the Sith Empire

Out of the Shadows

What had happened on Janivarus was a great blow not only the galactic alliance but to the Jedi as well. Rey and Xander were both still unconscious and were in the medical bay. Master Xan'Dxe and Grogu were having a serious meeting with the Council of the Galactic Alliance about what this was. "Master Jedi had it not been said that the SIth were once and for all destroyed during the events of Grandmaster Rey's adventures? Was Darth Sidious not killed?" One of the council members said in rage. "Yes. Darth Sidious is dead but this is the doing of someone else, not Darth Sidious." Master Xan said. "What is your proof?" Another council member asked. "The proof is that there were no troopers involved and the fact that only the Jedi and galactic soldiers have been killed, no one else." Grogu said as the council went quiet. Master Pring Octas, the Master Jedi and head of the Larazar system's temple stood up, "if it had been the Sith who had learnt the way of Sidious or the way of the old sith, all life on that entire planet would have been exterminated in the most brutal manner." He said as his planet was a victim to one of the empires schemes, Darth Vader personally destroyed his entire race. "So we face a new enemy?" one of the council members asked. "The enemy is the Sith, but who it is and what this new type of Sith is, is what we must learn about." Grogu said as the galactic alliance and the Jedi agreed that they would have mixed defences and more fortified defences in all the bases and the temples across the universe. After their meeting ended the Jedi council began their meeting. "Has young Skywalker awoken?" Master Shen Tor Vak asked. "No, he and Grandmaster Rey are still unconscious." Xan said. "From what I have felt the Sith have somehow found a way to stay hidden. I could not sense them at all." Master Pring said. That fact was true and it concerned the Jedi that they could not sense their enemy. "Truly this is a matter of concern. This is a new type of sith then." Master Henma said. "Yes and we must find out who it is that is pulling the strings in the shadows." Xan said. "MASTER JEDI! XANDER AND GRANDMASTER REY HAVE AWOKEN!" Master Joris said as he ran into the meeting and immediately all the masters ran to the med bay.

The masters ran into the med bay and found Rey embracing Xander who was scared. "Shhh, it's okay, it's okay, you're safe now, you're safe." Rey said as she was comforting the scared and shaking Xander. "Grandmaster are you okay?" Master Xan asked. "Yes, I am fine but Xander is terrified." Rey said as she continued to hold onto Xander. Time went by and Xander was okay but was in some sorts broken. Rey told everyone that she felt and sensed what happened to the temple on Janivarus and the disturbance in the force was the great darkness that attacked that temple and the pain and anguish that was caused there affected her greatly. Later on after Xander had been sent home, "Xander, how are you?" Grogu said as he walked into their house. "Master I, I, I, I couldn't save Master Quen. It's all my fault." Xander said as tears fell from his eyes as this was the first time someone close to him died and that too in front of his eyes. "Xander, you cannot always blame yourself. Quen fought with honor and died fighting, from what I could sense. But Xander I do not want to ask this but we must know." Grogu said as he sat beside his padawan. "You want to know who we fought? Don't you?" Xander asked as he knew he would eventually have to remember what had happened on Janivarus. "Unfortunately my son, yes." Grogu said as he kept his hand on Xander's back. "It...it...it was a sith." Xander said as his expression changed. "I see. So, there are more of them. The darkness felt was a confirming sign of this fact." Grogu said. "B..b....b...but." Xander struggled to say as tears fell from his eyes. "But what?" Grogu asked. "It was..it...it...was...Kal...." Xander managed to say. "What?" Grogu asked as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He walked upto Xander and looked at him. "IT WAS HIM MASTER! IT WAS KAL'VAN! HE KILLED MASTER TRIBECK! HE KILLED MASTER QUEN AND HE TRIED TO KILL ME! ME! HE TRIED TO KILL ME!" Xander screamed as he broke down. Grogu hugged him and simply thought that how such a terrible outcome could have been possible.

On the sith star destroyer.

"What you did on Janivarus was a great display of the power of us sith my apprentice, you have made me proud." Darth Krelis said as he stared at the galaxy. "Thank you my master." Darth Dunamis said as he finally got what he wanted, the title of Darth. He now no longer was Kal'Van the so called "WEAKLING" in his own words. He was now Darth Dunamis, slayer of the light and 2nd in command of the now rising New Sith Empire. "We now have but only a few things to do before our Empire and the sith name shall be ready to stake it's claim in the universe." Krelis said as he turned to his student. "What would that be my master?" Dunamis asked as he stood up. "We must eradicate the Galactic Alliance one system at a time!" Krelis said as he clenched his fist in anger. "Of course my master it will be done at once." Darth Dunamis said as he started to walk out. "Wait." Krelis stopped Dunamis. "We are still not ready yet, although we may have become stronger than before and have gained the approval of the new political council of the Sith empire. We must become more stronger before we go to war." Krelis said. "Ah, yes my master. Patience leads to a better understanding of the enemy and the dark side shall show us the way." Dunamis said. "Yes my apprentice you have learnt well. But before that we must come out of the shadows. Only then can the darkness attract more dormant sith to us." Krelis said as they walked out of the brig.
