A NEW DESTINY

A galaxy in chaos! THE REPUBLIC struggles to reestablish itself as the people of the galaxy lose faith. Dangerous ideas from the UNKNOWN REGIONS gain popularity for the hopes of a new government.

The Last Jedi, REY SKYWALKER, has been traveling the galaxy in search of answers. With her connection to the late BEN SOLO gone, she has received mysterious visions of an APOCALPYSE from the beyond.

Meanwhile, DARTH SIDIOUS has returned once again. The former Emperor is stronger than ever with a new vessel provided by the mysterious MESTAPHIC UNION. He has sent a transmission to Rey with hopes that she will come to Exegol so he can end the Jedi once and for all...

A ship descended from space to Exegol. Lightning screeched from the sky. A rugged star cruiser landed on the surface in front of the Sith Temple. Out of the ship came a man dressed in a black leather jacket, undershirt, pants, and boots. He was roughly 6'0 tall with an athletic build, pale skin, long-thick dark-brown hair that went down to the middle of his neck and was layered at the top. The man walked toward the giant cube as the sky was lit up with screeches of lightning. He jumped onto a large chain under the cube leading him into the underground temple. The screeches of lightning could be heard as he walked through various corridors, avoiding guards in the process. The next corridor lead him to an entrance. It brought him to the top of the stands of the Sith Stadium. From the top of the stands he could see the Throne of the Sith below him. Sitting on the throne was Palpatine as he waited for Rey to come face him once again. He was dressed in all black robes with his usual white-disfigured face. At his side was Snoke, presumably one of the clones Palpatine made. Snoke dawned silver bathrobes like the ones his predecessor wore. The Man jumped down from the stands and landed on his feet in front of Palpatine. Palpatine was surprised, how did this soldier enter his throne room without his knowledge? "Emperor Palpatine, I've waited a long time to meet you.", said The Man. Palpatine not amused by his ambush responded, "What brings you here?". The boy looked at Palpatine serious and prepared, "I've come to kill you.". Snoke began to laugh and a grin came upon Palpatine's face. They did not see this boy as any kind of threat. "Oh I'm afraid, you won't be successful in your attempt.", said Palpatine in glee. The Man was unfazed, "I'm going to finish you once and for all.". Palpatine continued to be amused by The Man's threats, "You are quite the arrogant little boy. You don't stand a chance against me", said Palpatine. The Man continued, "Perhaps I haven't made myself clear-you're finished!". Palpatine's glee transformed into disgust, disturbed by this boy's disrespect of his power, "Enough of this.", said Palpatine. He turned to one of his guards, "Guard, execute him." The guard aimed his blaster and fired at The Boy, but he absorbed the bolt with his hand. The guard continued to fire, but The Man was unfazed, continuing to absorb the blasts. The guard stumbled back as The Boy casually ran his fingers through the bangs of his hair. The Man then smiled as he grabbed the guard with the force and threw him at one of the jagged edges of Palpatine's reconstructed throne, killing him. Palpatine grinned at The Boy's display of power, "Perhaps you are stronger than I thought." The guards aimed their blasters and readied to kill The Boy. However, their shots were reflected back. This Boy used the force, and then drew a lightsaber. It was a blue blade that was protected by a metallic cross-guard. The boy quickly carved through the guards leaving just him, Palpatine, and Snoke in the throne room. The Boy ran his fingers through his hair again now directing his focus towards Palpatine. "Now it's your turn.", The Boy said to Palpatine and Snoke. Palpatine and Snoke looked on at The Boy still amused by his threats. "My lord, this boy is quite the amusing creature.", said Snoke. Palpatine responded in slight laughter, "He is.". Palpatine turned his attention to The Boy, "I admire your confidence, but you are no match for me. I have lived for over 100 years. I have gained power that is beyond even your comprehension". The boy looked back at him in amusement, "Is that counting the two deaths?". Palpatine's smile transformed into an annoyed frown, "You really are arrogant", said Palpatine. The boy shot back, "A little bit.". Palpatine was disgusted by him. The boy's playful tone then quickly faded. He looked at Palpatine like a laser into his eyes, "Enough kidding around. Any minute now Rey will be arriving here, and only one of us will stand here to meet her.". Palpatine replied to the boy with a sinister smile, "I'm afraid you're right." The boy smiled, "Now it's time that you learn who I really am.". The boy then stared Palpatine even more intensely in the eye. Palpatine grinned in amusement, but then he began to grow concerned. Up until this point The Boy had been suppressing his power in The Force. Now he was no longer hiding. Palpatine could sense how truly powerful this boy was, and he was truly frightened. Palpatine whispered to himself in horror, "His power in The Force. It's unlike anything I've ever felt.". Palpatine grew desperate and angry. He raised his hands and quickly shot a deadly blast of force lightning. The boy raised his lightsaber to absorb the blast. Palpatine continued to send waves of lighting at the boy, but it was all in vain. The boy had effortlessly blocked the blasts. Palpatine was horrified. He grew even more desperate and drew on all of his deadly strength sending an entire bolt of lightning at The Boy. This strike sent shockwaves throughout the planet. Even Snoke was startled. Smoke emitted from where the boy had once stood. Palpatine laughed at his apparent victory. Not even The Boy in all his power could take on the dark lord of the Sith or could he? "Well he certainly didn't last very long", Palpatine commented on his apparent victory. The smoke cleared and the boy stood unharmed. He looked at Palpatine smiling, and he casually shrugged his shoulders. Palpatine looked on in disgust. He could not believe that he was losing. Palpatine was forced to do something he had not done in a very long time-he drew his lightsaber. Palpatine hated lightsabers so he decided he would make sure the boy's death would be excruciating for forcing Palpatine to use such a dreadful weapon. Palpatine ignited his weapon and the two stared at each other waiting to make their move. Palpatine lunged towards the boy. Their blades met, one strike, two strikes, and then the unthinkable happened-a slash through Palpatine's chest. The dark lord turned to stone then fell in two. The boy had just defeated Darth Sidious, effortlessly. Snoke watched on in horror at how his master was killed. The Boy walked towards Snoke as Snoke stumbled back. Snoke faced him, "My boy, you just defeated Darth Sidious. Take his place and rule as the new Dark Lord of the Sith." The Boy stayed firm, "Not a chance.". Snoke grew more frightened, "Please. Don't kill me. I will do anything that you ask.". The Boy stopped seemingly heeding to Snoke's request. Snoke tried to trick The Boy, "Allow me to examine your lightsaber. It is quite the remarkable weapon.". The Boy smiled, he stepped forward with the weapon looking as though he was about to attack Snoke. Snoke grimaced in fear. However, The Boy deactivated his weapon and tossed it to Snoke. Snoke looked at it in joy, "The Jedi weapon, it is their life. And now I will use it to take yours.", Snoke said as he went for an overhead strike at The Boy. However, the unthinkable happened, The Boy blocked the strike with his hand. He held onto the blade as he pushed a horrified Snoke back. The Boy lifted Snoke into the air with the force knocking the saber out of Snoke's hand in the process. The Boy caught his weapon on its way down. He brought Snoke to him, and slashed him across the chest, killing the creature. The Boy deactivated his weapon as he looked on at the fallen dark lords. The Falcon then descended into the arena. The Boy turned looking for Rey's arrival. Rey came running out with her golden lightsaber ignited ready to take on Palpatine once again. She dawned her usual white robes, but now the band on her right arm that covered her scar was no longer there. She ran out to find a bunch of dead guards, the remains of Palpatine, a dead Snoke, and this boy standing there. She looked at him, and then she looked at the remains of Palpatine and Snoke on the ground. Rey was absolutely stunned. She looked at The Boy, "You did this?", she asked. The boy gave her a look of conformation. Rey couldn't believe it. She was not even sure that she could defeat Palpatine, but somehow this boy no older than she was when she was only able to defeat Palpatine with the help of the spirits of all the Jedi, could defeat him along with Snoke. Rey had so much she needed to ask this boy, but first she only had one question for him, "Who are you?".
