Crimson Conquest: A Sith's Rise

Chapter 25: Shadows of Betrayal

The Jedi Council gathered in their chamber, filled with unease after Obi-Wan Kenobi's revelation about the Sith assassin. As the tension hung in the air, Ki-Adi-Mundi was the first to break the silence.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: "Y/n, you say? How could he become such a menace?"

Obi-Wan: (solemnly) "I don't know, Master Mundi. But it seems the Jedi Order played a part in his descent."

Yoda: "Troubling, this is. How did we not see the darkness in him?"

Obi-Wan: "He was once a promising Padawan, full of potential. But we failed him, and now he seeks revenge."

Ki-Adi-Mundi: "And he's not alone, it seems. This Barris Offee... she was imprisoned, but now she stands with him?"

Obi-Wan: "Yes, she was thought to be contained, but somehow, they've joined forces."

The council members exchanged worried glances, realizing the danger that loomed over them.

Yoda: "Warn the Republic and the Separatists, we must. A common enemy we face."

Obi-Wan: "Agreed. But we must also find a way to stop Y/n before he grows even more powerful."

Meanwhile, on Dathomir, Talon greeted Y/n and Barris as they returned. Y/n informed her of the events on Basteel, including how he had to save Barris from Kenobi's grasp.

Talon: (concerned) "Are you both alright?"

Y/n: "I am, but Barris was knocked unconscious. The nightsister healers should attend to her."

Talon: (stroking Y/n's cheek) "You did well, my love. You will be the end of the Jedi."

Y/n: (smirking) "Indeed. And with your power, we shall triumph over Sidious too."

They shared a passionate kiss, and Y/n felt emboldened by Talon's unwavering support.

Talon: "Soon, we'll reveal ourselves to the galaxy. They'll know the true power of the Dark Side."

Y/n: (nodding) "Yes, and the Jedi will regret ever turning their backs on me."

As Y/n and Talon discussed their plans, they knew they held the galaxy in their grasp. They would crush all opposition and emerge victorious.

Back at the Jedi Temple, the council members tried to come up with a strategy to deal with the looming threat.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: "We should reach out to the Republic and Separatist leaders, warn them of Y/n's power."

Obi-Wan: "And we should inform them about Barris Offee's involvement too."

Yoda: "Difficult, this path is. War complicates things, it does."

Obi-Wan: "Indeed, Master Yoda. But we have no other choice."

They decided to take action and inform the Republic and Separatists about the dangerous alliance forming against them.

Back on Dathomir, Y/n and Talon reveled in their newfound power and the fear they spread among their enemies.

Talon: "We shall make them all pay for what they've done to us."

Y/n: (smirking) "And the Jedi will learn that their fall from grace was inevitable."

They knew the galaxy would soon bear witness to their wrath, as they took down one enemy after another, and their dark rule would spread like a plague.

As the galaxy teetered on the edge of chaos, Y/n and Talon embraced the darkness within them, knowing that they were destined to shape its fate. Their power grew, and they were unstoppable in their mission to bring the Jedi, the Republic, and the Separatists to their knees.
