Demon Unleashed.

Chapter I.

I look back now and still cannot see was I wrong or was I right. It all started on my seventh birthday. As always… 10th of October started bad… at least for me. I will not bother you with why or how… let's just say that at day of my birth an entity of unimaginable power attacked the place where I lived. It needed to be sealed… Guess who got the lucky number in this lottery?

Now let us get to the interesting part of my tale. As always villagers tried to kill me on that day, as always I tried to survive, but this time it was different. They found a way to stop the powers of the beast from healing me.

Being in life or death situation I did something nearly impossible. I used the Force. Of course back then I didn't know what I did and my presence in the Force led a very unpleasant guest to me.

I remember the zooming sound of red glowing blade... Heavy breathing through respirator mask… And screams of his enemies, cut to pieces by his blade. I remember his hand clad in dark glove, stretched in my direction.

And I was a fool enough to take it.

I forsake my birth name, Uzumaki Naruto, and became Starkiller, personal assassin of Darth Vader.

I was taught in the ways of the Dark Side and styles of lightsaber combat.

However, Force had another plans. First came the whispers, then voices, then screams. Force showed me what my so called 'Master' wished me to do. Force told me what to do and how to evade the fate he created for me. And I obeyed.

But let us start with where everything got really out of hand.

Sidius gritted his teeth in pain as their puppet Sith kneed him into his stomach. He fell on his back and looked up, into glowing red eyes of his opponent.

"Do it. Kill me. Save the Galaxy as you wanted." said or rather demanded the Emperor.

After all Darth Siduis even now, beaten to a bloody pulp is too close to his victory. One wrong move and insanity of the Dark side will consume the young Sith and all hopes will be lost. That's how he turned Skywalker, or now Darth Vader, to the Dark Side.

Blonde with whisker marks on his cheeks smiled. He wasn't foolish Jedi Skywalker. He is Uzumaki Naruto, Starkiller, the Sith Asssassin. Holder of the might of the King of Demons.

All that was left not to explode from the self-righteousness.

Naruto looked at his opponent and thought about all this time that he spent dreaming about this single moment.

Twelve years… When he thought about what he passed through he was really surprised that he didn't turn into bloodthirsty maniac in the process.

Twelve years since he was chosen by his former Master, Darth Vader.

Twelve years, since he passed through the rough and merciless training.

Twelve years since he passed all challenges that his Masters created for him.

Twelve years of listening to the Force and constant planning to get from his masters reach, to stop being his slave.

Twelve years of waiting for the right opportunity.

And it ended just as he planned, with an Emperor near his feet. Blooded and beaten, with his sword near old man's throat. Somewhere behind then in one of the many rooms of Death Star lays nearly destroyed form of Darth Vader, buried by metal, ripped from the walls.

Naruto didn't just train as his Master told him. He created his own regimen and led by the whispers of the Force he found the techniques on Korriban and Dantuine and other secluded Jedi and Sith enclaves, which greatly helped him in his plans.

Results were astonishing two greatest force-users fell before him one by one, Master Shaak Ti instead of being dead and buried searched Death Star's prison in hope for finding the senators. Her apprentice Mariss Brood and Master Kazdan Paratus, healed from his insanity by Naruto, set the bombes near the strategic points of the giant battle station.

The main thing was that the Jedi didn't go extinct. He managed to save the hope to restore the Order. If everything will get as he planned PROXY will return to Masters the reserve copy of Jedi Achieves that he found during his travels.

If not… well there will be no one to return it.

But the main reason of his triumph was the fact that children of Darth Vader will have the right teachers. Yes. He knew. Nothing can hide from the Force. Even something like this. Now there will be four more Jedi to help them.

At least he hoped that General Kota will not kill himself before he managed to heal his eyes. He felt really bad leaving him blind but it was a part of his plan. Naruto sadly smiled. He considered himself a Sith but he bothered about something like this… He was a bad Sith.

He turned his gaze to still blabbering Emperor. But a Sith nonetheless.

"Kill me! I know you thirst for it!" screamed Palpatine.

"You don't even understand how much I wish for it, Your Highness." replied Naruto, he let Palpatine think that he still controlled the situation. Truth to be said neither one of them controlled it. Senators were somewhere on the station, at first Palpatine thought to gloat before them. How "their very public and painful execution will crush any deceit", but on the last minute he decided otherwise.

And nearly perfect plan, which Starkiller created for years, was endangered. He couldn't search them through the Force. Source of the Dark Side energy near his feet disturbed everything around him. And by 'around' was meant the whole fucking station.

"Where are the senators?" asked Starkiller.

Palpatine just smugly smiled.

"You will not find them, boy. Better than doing something foolish like this, kill me while you still have a chance!"

Without a doubt, if Starkiller didn't know that powerful Force-users, especially it was noted for Dark force-users, can switch the bodies, he would have risked this chance. But judging how this concrete Emperor smiled smugly, while Naruto's blade was near his throat…

He practically begged to be killed and this was suspicious. Sidius was a coward, scum and backstabber. But he certainly wasn't foolish and insane. Without a doubt he had already prepared if this old body of his will suddenly perish. From time or enemy's hand. It didn't matter. Sidius was ready.

"Where are the senators?!" once again asked Naruto.

"Kill me and you will find out." smiled Sidius.

Naruto sighed; he hoped that Master Ti will somehow manage.

Meanwhile said togruta went through the metal corridors of Death Star and her thoughts were filled with Starkiller.

For nearly seventeen years, since the Jedi Order has been destroyed, she has been hiding. Empire and its Inquisitors searched and dealt with those, who managed to survive the "Order 66", and not even a hundred of Jedi survived. Not even a hundred… from several thousands of knights and padawans.

Such defeat the Order hasn't suffered from the times of Darth Revan and the Exiled One. Or truth to be told… Order had never suffered such defeat. Hundreds of the Jedi survived the Civil War, right now all who had left can be counted by fingers on one arm. It could have been worse, but force moves in mysterious ways.

As far as she knew there were five more Jedi, beside her: Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kazdan Paratus, Rahm Kota and her apprentice, Maris Brood.

Six Jedi, just six! And half of them should have been dead right now, were it not for the efforts of the apprentice of Darth Vader, the man, who, beside the mastermind, Palpatine, is to blame for the destruction of the Order.

Starkiller… malevolent and grim name, given to him by his dark master, became a beacon of hope for all survived Jedi and Galaxy in whole.

When a young man… no just a boy, who haven't even reached the adulthood found her on Felucia, she at first, arrogantly thought that she will easily deal with him.

She was mistaken and mistaken greatly. Starkiller wasn't a deluded ambitious and arrogant young boy. Nor was he a slave, completely loyal to his master's will. Wasn't he also a merciless killer and of course a zealous fanatic of the Dark Side. But without a doubt Starkiller was a Sith.

But most of all he wasn't a boy… at least his mind was certainly that of full-fledged warrior. To understand this she needed to be on the edge of death. Right now she understood that no harm would have come her way, but back then…

"The Force is Strong with you, young one." calmly stated Shaak Ti, gaining a newfound respect to her opponent, who was much more powerful than she thought. "But you lack control."

Her opponent facepalmed. "Typical Jedi… If something isn't like you say then it isn't. So arrogant. So foolish. Didn't you even consider the fact that I may have deluded you somehow?"

"It may have been like this, if you were older." said she. "But you are too young and inexperienced in ways of the Force."

"If only you knew what kind of a hell my Master put me through…" shook his head young boy "You wouldn't have been so assured in your victory Master Ti."

"I understand what Darth Vader did to you." replied Shaak Ti, surprised by calm demeanor of the young sith.

"Maybe you are." agreed her opponent."But beside that you know next to nothing about me."

"I know about the ways of the Sith and the Force enough to see the clear picture." arrogantly stated Shaak Ti.

Boy just raised a brow and activated his second red blade, taking it in reverse grip.

"Then let us test your statement, Master Ti. If you will manage to hold yourself against me for a minute, then I will think about changing the Master."

Back then she blinked in surprise, because it was really sudden. There was a slight hope that boy will change his mind, but something so small and nearly nonexistent could only be found and sensed by a Master of Force manipulation and only those, who follow the Light Side. And back then right in front of her a young sith managed to do it. If back in her time she reported it to the Masters... let's just say that a visit on really far away planet was granted.

But his ability to sense such a small glimpse of hope wasn't as surprising as what happened next. Less than five seconds later she laid defeated in front of Starkiller.

"Well… looks like you know not enough about the ways of the Force and the Sith." stated young warrior, holding crossed blades near togruta's neck. "Or in immortal words of count Dooku: 'double the pride, double the fall'?"

"I… underestimated you." agreed she. "That was my mistake… My last mistake. Can I ask you to do something?"

To her surprise he agreed.

"But of course. What is it?"

"Grant me a swift death.'

"Unfortunately Master Ti , I can't."

Red blade pierced her heart.

At that moment she feared that he wanted to torture her before killing. She already knew that he was stronger and running was out of option. She was prepared to die, but feeling more pain before death wasn't something that she wanted. On Felucia everything happened too suddenly, She didn't had a time to think about the actions and words of Starkiller.

Shaak Ti returned to her senses with a loud gasp. Her first thought was, how she even managed to wake up. Blade of pure plasma, which pierced her heart, is nearly instant ticket to the other side. To revive her, doctors needed to be swift and experienced and of course they needed the newest equipment, which she knew wasn't on Felucia.

But the local flora around her stated that she was still on the planet. Maybe it was just a dream?

"It wasn't." stated very familiar voice.

She jumped to her feet only to find a familiar young Sith, sitting on the massive root of one of the local trees and inspecting the hilt of her lightsaber.

"Interesting design, Master Ti." stated dark adept. "But in we climate, like the one on Felucia, it's hard to use it right."

And assassin was right, because of some special elements in construction, some details can't be put inside the hilt, which made it really hard to use in wet climate.

"Why am I still alive?"

"Isn't it obvious?" red hood turned in her direction. "I don't want you to die."

"Wasn't that your mission?"

"It was." stated sith. "But it looks like you never thought that what Vader wants and what I want is rather different."

Master Ti sighed, looks like this was Skywalker's fate to have such disobedient apprentices. Turning the sides didn't make anything different.

"It isn't about loyalty and obedience." said Starkiller. "I just know where it is going. Without a doubt my master after this 'successful' mission will backstab me. So saving you is in a way a guarantee of my own survival."

"You want be to kill Darth Vader?" asked she.

"Don't make me laugh Master Ti. He is too tough for you. I will deal with him myself."

"Then, why do you need me?"

"At first let me answer the question you are too afraid to ask: how did I heal you? The answer is simple: the Force. Then why did I even wound you, if I never wanted to kill you in the first place? It can be answered the same but let me elaborate."

"Many years ago I found a holocrone with healing Jedi techniques. I instantly understood how I can use it. When Vader will send me to hunt down the Jedi I can fabricate the death of said Jedi and put my 'teacher's' mind at ease."

"Disturbance in the Force…" muttered togruta.

"Yes. If, for example, you died a month ago from some unfortunate accident, Vader wouldn't have felt anything. But right now when he is monitoring the Force…"

"He will without a doubt be assured that I'm dead." said Master Ti.

"Right you are." said sith throwing to her lightsaber hilt, which she easily captured. "Now… Are you prepared to listen?"

"I'm always prepared to listen." said Master Ti. "You didn't need to pierce me with lightsaber for it."

"You wouldn't believe me otherwise. I'm still a sith, remember?" asked he.

"Yes. I can feel it clearly. But your thoughts are pure of anger and jealousy, normal to any adept of the Dark Side."

"What can I say… I'm special." replied young sith. "Power or other shit that many sith cherish so much isn't interesting to me. Maybe immortality… but if it is too bloody to achieve, then I will manage without it."

"If I wasn't taking to you right now, I wouldn't believe that something like this is possible. You are strong in the Dark Side, maybe even stronger than Vader and Emperor, but you are not consumed by it, you mind is yours."

"As I had already told you: I'm special. But let's return to the main question: why I need you. Truth to be told you are of no need to me. I just don't want to kill you."

She blinked in surprise, she knew that not all Sith kill the Jedi, but not killing her, just because, he didn't want to? That was something new.

"Didn't you tell that my survival is one of your preventive strikes?"

"If you don't want to be this 'strike'… I'm not holding, you are free to go wherever you want." replied young Sith. "I will not hold nor kill you."

He was a Sith, but he saved her, moreover Vader believes her to be dead, that's of course if he isn't lying and Force told her that he can be… no needed to be trusted.

"What can I do?" asked she.

"First of all, you can tell your apprentice, who tries to kill me by attacking from behind, that what she is going to do is a very bad idea."

"By the Force" thought Shaak Ti turning her head in Maris direction.

"Maris! Don't do anything foolish!" screamed she. But her apprentice didn't listen. She amplified her jump with the Force and struck Starkiller with barrage of hits. He easily evaded all of them and his blade pierced her heart, just like it did Shaak Ti's.

"Maris!" screamed she activating her blade but Force Push instantly sent her into nearby stone.

"Had you forgotten, how easily I dealt with you before?" asked Sith. "Or how I saved you? This will give her so much needed lesson."

After those words he kneeled near the motionless body of Maris and placed his hand above her wound. Second later, white light came from it and right on her eyes Maris' wound was healed.

"It would be better if she will see you first." said he.

Shaak Ti nodded and went to her apprentice, who soon returned to her senses.

"Maris how many times must I tell you that you must think before acting. Acting without thinking will have a dare consequences." said Shaak Ti with tone of displeased teacher. "And you will be first to feel them."

"M... Master?" asked female zabrak.

"Yes… I passed through the same experienced not so long ago. Let it be a lesson that you are not as powerful as you think."

"You… defeated him?"

"No… there is no need for this." said Shaak Ti, turning his head in the direction of hooded figure.

Following her teachers gaze, Maris saw Starkiller, she instantly jumped and activated her blades but firm hand of her Master stopped her.

"Maries, enough! He isn't our enemy!"

"Master, he is Sith! He cannot be trusted!"

"He defeated and healed me too, Maris. So I will disagree with you in this."

"I advise you to calm down, padawan." said Starkiller. "There is so much anger within you and only thin line stops you from falling to the Dark Side."

"I will not fall to the Dark Side!" agrily stated Maris.

"Vader said the same. Should I remind you, how it ended?"

Maris looked at the Sith in disbelief.

"This is the truth, Maris." said Shaak Ti. "Darth Vader was a Jedi. One of the best. One of the most fearless. One of the most noble of us. Dark Side corrupted his mind and turned him into a monster."

"Listen to your Master padwan." said the blonde. "Last twelve years I had spent in embrace of the Dark Side. Trust me if you fell, your mind will not recover."

Shaak Ti looked at the boy with a mix of terror and pity. Twelve years. Vader must had taken him as a child. What kind of a monster he turned into?

As togruta returned her gaze to Maris, she noted that she eased a bit.

"Returning to my previous question. How can I help you?"

"Right now there is nothing." said he."But if there will be something, in this year I will notify you. If I will not do so, then I'm either dead or managed to do what I wanted myself. Here is the com-link."

"How do we know that it isn't some kind of trap?" asked Maris.

"If I wanted to kill you I would had already done this. And Master Kenobi – Tatooine, Grandmaster Yoda – Dagoba, Kazdan Paratus – Raxus Prime, Rahm Kota – Bespine. More questions?"

Maris was puzzled, but Shaak Ti was terrified. Those were names of all the Jedi, who managed to survive. Even if she didn't know the location of the later ones, the fact that first two were true meant… Her eyes opened wide in realization.

"Vader doesn't know this." assured her young Sith. "And I will not tell him. But for these Jedi, or at least some of them to survive till Empire' fall and restore the Order of the Jedi, you need to trust me." said he.

"I trust you." said Shaak Ti.

"Master?"

"Maris believe me, despite hall his darkness he can be trusted."

She risked a lot of things. But the Force insisted to trust him… and she obeyed.

"When the time will be right I will contact you, Master Ti." he bowed and turned his back to them.

"Wait a minute!" screamed she. "What is your name?"

"Starkiller."

Master and her apretice looked, how he disappeared in the jungle.

"It will be a shame if he will not contact us." stated Maris.

"Yes."

"And he has rather cute whisker marks."

"Ye… What?!"

For nearly half a year Master and apprentice waited for the Starkiller's message. And week ago, they received it and arrived to Correlia system. At first she wanted to go alone, but Maris stated that she will not wait on Felucia and if Shaak Ti wanted to go alone, then she better threw her into sarlak's mouth.

Shaak Ti didn't argue with her padawan, understanding the futility of said attempt. Instead she ordered her to leave her stereotypes against Starkiller behind or she will knock her out and go alone. To her surprise she happily agreed. Deep inside her heart hidden well from her Master, but not enough for her to not feel, was a strange warm feeling towards the blond in armor and dark-red hood.

In Correlia several surprises awaited them.

Retreating Empire fleet.

Crazy plan of Starkiller, who endangered the newly formed Rebel Alliance, to destroy or heavily damage the Death Star, a giant battle station, which can in one shot destroy the planets. To find it a tracking device was placed on the transport of Darth Vader himself.

Then was the one, who placed the tracking device. Master Kazdan Paratus, who met Starkiller in same circumstances as she did.

And the last one were words of Starkiller about capture of General Kota, another survived Jedi.

Sometime later they were on board of Death Star with Starkiller taking the attention of Vader and emperor, Shaak Ti freeing the Senators and Maris and Paratus were placing the explosives. Juno Eclipse, Starkiller's best friend and pilot and PROXY, coordinate their action's from Rouge's Shadow, using the special com-links created by Paratus.

"Eclipse to Master Ti, PROXY finished the downloading of the Death Star's plans. Prisoners are held in the cameras in the next corridor."

"Thank you captain Eclipse." said Shaak Ti

"I'm not captain anymore, master Ti." softly said the woman. "Call me Juno."

"As you wish Juno." said togruta. "May the Force be with you."

"May it guide us all, master." answered Juno.

"Are you going to kill me or what?" heard she the voice of Sidius from her com-link.

"Shut up, old man." said the voice of Starkiller. "Don't bother me, while I'm thinking. I'm trying to create a very painful and humiliating way to kill you."

"I can tell you several rather painful ways to do it."

"I thought I had already told you to shut up! I just want to do something myself, okey? So… where was I? Ah yes… Throwing into space? No… to fast. And it is proven force-sensitive can survive in vacuum. Put you in cage and starve you to death? You will definitely escape. Explode you? I don't think I have the needed kind of explosives. Put my lightsaber into you ass and see how you slowly and painfully die from blood loss and realization of how humiliating your death is? I like this, I will return to this variant later."

Com-link died after this.

She looked at the holographic map and ran into the direction of the Senators' prison. The inner meaning was clear to her: Starkiller told her to faster het the senators, and asked Maris and Kazdan to not get too much into setting explosives.

If they will not… Well, the prase about lightsaber in ass wasn't just for show.

Starkiller never told something just for show.

When she reached the needed corridor, she made a jump, taking the lightsaber from her belt. She gracefully landed and two headless figures fell behind her. Then she used the Force to open the door.

Four pairs of eyes instantly looked in her direction and widened in surprise. Shaak Ti sighed in relief Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Garm Bell Iblis and Rahn Kota, were beaten a bit but still alive.

"Shaak Ti?" asked General. "You are alive?"

"As you can…" she stopped seeing the with eyes of her fellow Jedi. "…feel, I am. But we will talk later. Starkiller cannot hold the Emperor too long."

"WhAt do you mean. How does this traitor…" started Mon Mothma, before Shaak Ti stopped her, raising her hand.

"I don't know what you are talking about but he had no choice and now so do you. You either stay here or do everything according to Satrkiller's plan. You don't want to stay? Good. Then please. Follow me and try to not get too far away from me and General."

On board of Rouge Shadow.

"Are you sure, PROXY?" asked Juno Eclipse.

"Data is correct, captain Eclipse."

"PROXY, I asked to not call myself like this."

"I beg your forgiveness, captain Eclipse, but I cannot go against my programming." said droid.

"Okay." facepalmed she. "There is nothing I can fix in this kind of situation.

"Should I report to Master?"

"I will do it myself." said Juno. "Eclipse to Starkiller. Come in. PROXY didn't find any place to land the ship, I'm forced to stick to your planning."

"Your Highness, can you tell me, why you placed such a big illuminators in your throne room. It's big enough for a ship to pass."

"Are you going to further test my patience, boy?!"

"Me? Your patience? Aren't you the one, who is lying on the floor right now?"

After that the channel was once again closed.

"Sometimes I really hate him." Muttered Juno, preparing to ram the ship through the window of the throne room.

Somewhere on Death Star.

"Master Paratus, are you sure, that this pass is right?" asked Maris Brood, who crawled through the ventilation behind the Kazdan Paratus.

"Don't argue with your elders, padawan." growled Paratus. "If we are captured, then you can argue."

"Then I will not have time to do so." stated Brood. "I will have another problems."

"You don't have them now?"

"Right now they are not as serious as others.

"Stop."

"What's up?"

"We are there. Destroy this section."

"Are you sure?"

"Padawan!"

"Okay, Okay! But if we will be captured you are to blame!" said Maris destructing the section under them.

"Young ones, always hurrying." Shook his head Paratus, landing near her.

"Kazdan?" surprised voice of elder man asked from behind them.

"Good to see you Rahm." said Paratus, turning to the source of the voice. "It's good to see you."

"Yes, yes, Master Paratus. It's really good to see another Jedi, but we don't have time for this, Starkiller may not have another minute, he is against Vader and the Emperor, after all." said Mariss.

"Mariss is right." said Shaak Ti. "We must hurry."

Nobody argued and followem Master Ti. Soon they found themselves before the large doors and when it opened, they opened their eyes in surprise: Palpatine lay defeated before the Starkiller, he also was really displeased with something. But it surely wasn't his current position.

"Are you done?" asked the Emperor not even noticing the new faces.

"No. There are several more ideas."

"Maybe you will just kill me?" asked the Emperor.

"This isn't how I want it, but if you ask so nicely…"

"No!" screamed Rahm Kota. "Don't let your rage cloud your judgment!"

"General, I'm trying to ikmagine most painful and humiliating way for this scumbag to die for nearly fifteen minutes, don't you think that I cooled down sometime ago?"

'You!" finally understand the Emperor. "You… you…"

Tricked you and Vader? But of course! I planned this for twelve years since I first saw what will happen if I will follow your will blindly. You never stood a chance."

"I will destroy you!" screamed Palpatine.

Next moment near his neck appeared two glowing red blades.

"Don't push it, Your Highness. With me alone, you may had a really high chance to escape to another body, but with four more Jedi here… not so."

"What?" now his voice was filled with fear. "How do you know?"

"You can hide everything from any living thing, but you can hide nothing from the Force." replied Naruto. "This and logic of course. It's nearly a natural trick for all Sith Emperors, to made a grandiose death, then hide somewhere and either use a blank clone or be reborn anew, with all your memories. And I seriously doubt that a coward like you will embrace his death."

At this moment, destroying the illuminator, Rouge Shadow landed before the Senators.

"You will answer for your treachery, boy!" stated Darth Sidius.

"If you didn't know this is the way of the Sith. And I don't want to hear about the treachery from a cowardly bastard, who feared his teacher so much, that he sedated him and sliced his throat while he slept."

"What?! How do you know?"

'Force loves me Palpatine, that's how. Without a doubt he never believed that a miserable bastard, who you were will somehow dare to oppose him."

And at this moment shit hit the fan.

Naruto knew that Mon Mothma, was a dangerous woman. In every kind of meaning she was dangerous. And especially to his plan. Her shitocracy wasn't something he agreed with. And he felt that a lot of the Jedi, didn't too. But right now she decided to reach the highest rank in idiocy and ran to his and the Emperor's position.

Only firm hand of General Kota held her on the spot.

"Kill him!" screamed she.

"NO!" said Kota "He is already on the edge. Killing the Emperor will push him to the Dark Side."

"It cannot be worse than it already is!" stated the stubborn and foolish bitch.

"Shut up and get out of here!" screamed Starkiller.

Next moment massive door flew inside the room and half-alive Vader with a squad of Stormtroopers got inside.

His apprentice cursed under his breath. All because of Mon Mothma and her shitocracy! She cannot decline herself a pleasure from seeing her enemy dead and beheaded. Looks like the fact of him himself not ending Sidius' life, didn't put in her all-knowing head of protector of shitocracy, that there are reasons for it.

Meanwhile Stormtroopers opened fire and Starkiller was forced to protect the senators. All jedi went to help him.

"NO! return to the ship!"

'We will not leave you alone. You will not manage to deal with them!" screamed Shaak Ti.

"We all will not." said Naruto, looking how more and more troopers got to the throne room, meanwhile Vader decided to break the Rouge Shadow to cut their route of escape. However the sharp shard, thrown by Starkiller pierced his arm and while he tended it he threw his former 'teacher' into the mass of white soldiers.

Doing this he nearly lost the moment when Sidius decided to join the fight.

With no doubt he took the Force Lighting with his hands.

"Get out of here, Master!" screamed he to togruta, who tried to get to him and help. "You will not change anything!"

"I will not leave you!" stated she , continuing to deflect the blaster shoots.

"Me too!" screamed Maris Brood, doing the same.

Women… so troublesome. No matter the race.

"And I!"

Paratus… where will we o without him.

Taking one hand from the distance of Palpatine's lightning a taking several of them on his chest, he used the Force and threw them into the waiting insides of Rouge Shadow. Then he closed the door and once again took the lightning in both hands.

"Juno! Get those idiots out of here!"

"And you?"

"What did I told you before this?"

"Probably not, no."

Then you know your answer."

"May the Force be with you… Naruto."

"May it guide you, Juno Eclipse." Said he as engines of Rouge Shadow started their work.

"You will not win, boy!" laughed the Emperor.

"Maybe not." said Naruto showing Palpatine his prized, fanged smile. "But they have all the chances."

"Empire will destroy them!" screamed Sidius, empowering his lightning.

"You don't have enough power for this." said Starkiller making a step.

"Nor you…"

Another step.

"…nor your miserable…"

One more step.

"…good for nothing…"

Half-meter away.

"…fucking…"

He stopped and concentrated the Force in his hands.

"…EMPIRE!"

He released the Force and managed to see how the eyes of the Darth Sidius widened in fear.

Under surprised gazes of the Vader and Several Stormtroopers looked how white sphere appeared around the fighting Sith. It levitated in the, pulsing with energy and then… exploded. Vader automatically protected his body with the Force and his face with his metal arm. Stormtroopers were instantly pulverized by Force Wave.

When Sphere disappeared Vader managed to see the figure of his master lying motionless on the floor. He cautiously got closer and checked the pulse. Old Sith was alive. Yet barely. Vader smiled. Looks like the Lady Fortune turned her face to him once again.

Al that he needed is supporting his Masters life and not getting him out of his coma.

Meanwhile. Unknown location.

"Lady Ventress! Lady Ventress!" screamed unknown female voice.

What? Female voice? He was on a Death Star fighting the Emperor. Where in the name of the Force was he now?

"Hmm. Just as you said, Talon." much deeper female voice answered. "A prophet chosen by Force and sent to us in lightning. Where is Malady?"

"She is her labs my Lady. Should I call her? He without a doubt will need her medical skills."

"Look at his skin, Talon. He regenerates already. He will not need Malady and her skills, but his mind will need time to reconnect with his body, and I know just the ritual to fasten such process. Now get him to Stasis Chambers. It will keep his body safe and also will help in healing him."

"As you wish, Lady Ventress. Hmmm." Naruto felt how something warm touched his cheek. "Are those scars or birthmarks? Never mind. I will ask him when he will wake up. Hope he isn't a jerk."

Somewhere between the dream and reality.

He didn't know, how much time he spent like this, but when Naruto finally opened his eyes he saw a giant rock floating in endless wastes of space and he stood on it.

"Well are you going to just stand there? We don't have all the time in the world, you know?"

He instantly turned, to see a high figure in the robes and hood with his face covered by something resembling the mandalorian mask.

"Where am I and who are you?" instantly asked Naruto.

'In order: you are somewhere between. Between the Life and Death, between the dream and reality. And I… deep inside you know, who is standing in front of you."

"Darth Revan…" muttered Naruto. "But why me? I'm nothing special, just another powerful Force-user, I can say it is rather rare in our times, but still not good enough for someone of your caliber to return from nearly four-thousand-year old death."

"Power calls to power. Blood calls to blood. Of course I will always find a time to those of my line. Especially to the last force-sensitive of them."

"You mean that I'm your…"

"Descendant? But of course. And by how I managed to get to you… Well, your body is in temple on Korriban, in hands of the sect, who worship one certain Sith Lord, they call themselves The One Sith. According to their rather strange ritual of passage you are now their Prophet."

"Prophet?"

"Yes, an ideological messiah, who must set them on right pass. He must invoke or forsake laws or traditions, according to the will of the Force. Also to not be biased he must be outsider. Like you. And pass the trial. Like you unknowingly did."

"I think I will ask about the trial later, what Sith Lord do they worship?"

"Before turning into the One Sith, they were known as Revanchists. Do I need to elaborate further?"

"No…"

At this moment slight tremor shook the stone.

"What is it?"

"Witch's ritual is working. You are waking up."

"Wait!"

Island turned into falling pieces of rock and there was only darkness.

Then he opened his eyes and with loud gasp sat on his strange crystal-like bad.

"You are awake? Good." He turned to see a pale skinned woman, with Mohawk hairstyle, which covered one of her eyes. "Let us greet each other. I'm Assajj Ventress. As I'm called here, the Lady of Wisdom. What is your name?"

"Starkiller."

"This isn't a name, it's more like a codename for a soldier."

"Yes. But I was named like this."

"Starkiller it is then. Let me tell you, in what kind of problem you are boy."

Meanwhile on Kashyyyk.

"All agree that we must continue what he started?" asked Bail Organa.

Aside from senator Organe there were senators Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis, princess Leia Organa. The Jedi Rahm Kota, Shaak Ti, Kazdan Paratus, Maris Brood and the former Empire Fleet's captain Juno Eclipse and Starkiller's droid PROXY.

"To stop, means to recognize that all our fighting and losses were in vain." said Shaak Ti.

"Agreed." added Kazdan Paratus. "He may have been a Sith, but he never had bee the marionette of Vader, Sidius or Dark Side. Unlike us, by the way." Last part he silently muttered.

"At first I didn't believe him." said Maris Brood. "But know I see that his actions and decisions were for the betterment of the Galaxy and its people."

"At our first meeting I thought him to be Vader's personal executioner, but he proved that he wasn't such." said Rahm Kota. "He showed us that even most loyal followers of the Empire aren't those, who we think them to be."

'Then so be it." said Garm. "On this day, the Alliance for the return of Republic was born and the creator of such Alliance was Jedi – knight Starkiller."

"I must add some data." stated PROXY. "My Master never considered himself a Jedi, even before the siege of the Death Star, he considered himself a Sith."

"I always knew that not all Jedi are as good as everyone thinks, but to think that there will be a good Sith, among his brethren. We truly live in times of change. But Force moves in mysterious ways after all." said Shaak Ti with a smile.

"Yes." said Rahm Kota. "If Starkiller considered himself as one of the Sith, then we must respect his choice."

'Are you all out of your minds?!" screamed Mon Mothma. 'We cannot let the future generations know that the creator of Alliance was a Sith, it can lead to the strengthening of their positions in the future!"

"And what do you propose?" asked Leia Organa, who had rather shady understanding of who Sith really were, but she still thought that if Someone like Strakiller considered himself one, they must respect his view on life.

"I offer to tell as senator Garm proposed. That Starkiller was a Jedi."

"No!" instantly disagreed Shaak Ti. "The Jedi will not take credit for the work of another, even if he was a Sith."

"Think about the consequences!" screamed Mon Mothma.

"Did you think about them, when you gave us this variant?" asked Juno. "Did you think about consequences of your lie if truth will somehow will be shown to public? As the one, who passed with him all his missions, I can tell you: this will not be pretty."

"I do not care about the thoughts of the former Empire's officer." answered Mon Mothma with disdain.

"But you should, senator." Shaak Ti stood beside the blonde supporting her point of view. "She speaks the truth."

"As am I." said Kota.

"As am I." said Kazdan Paratus.

"As am I" said Maris Brood.

"Then it is decided." Said Bail Organa. "Today was born Alliance for Recreation of Republic. And the one, who inspired us was Sith Lord Starkiller, who no matter the obstacle was loyal to his believes."

Everyone nodded, while Juno moved forward with something in her hands.

"Starkiller wanted you to have this." said she, revealing a crest of Marek family. "It belonged to a friend of his, who didn't pass the trials, his name was Galen Marek."

"What happened to him?" asked Kota.

"There was a place for only one Starkiller." replied Juno.

Month later. Sith Temple on Korriban.

Last month was rather hectic for Starkiller. Naruto looked into the depth of crimson holocrone and thought about the problems that gave him his title. Of course the Order itself was ruled by Three Ladies, who beside Venress were Darth Talon, a tattooed, sexy, red-skinned twi'leck and Darth Malady, equally tattooed and also red skinned Devaronian.

He himself through the miracle of the Force became the Prophet, ideological leader, it freaked him a bit when he found that Sith Tattoos appeared on him too. Ventress eased him that his tattoos were given to him by the Force itself, even know he could feel the power of Force Lightning, that burned them on him.

During said explanation, Darth Talon, who was also in the room, pouted. During one of the Sith holidays, or whatever they call them, which was needed to take new acolytes into the Order, she took this duty upon herself, to be his partner during the celebration. Both of them enjoyed it. And what followed later too.

At least when Naruto opened his eyes with very flexible body of Darth Talon upon himself, he was a viewer of a very rare sight. Darth Talon, Lady of the Blade, smiled looking very unSithful right now.

He knew that he would remember this later, photographs and holo picts were made for blackmail material. Of course they were One Sith and had a set of rules, but it was for fun, so while nobody got hurt in the process it was alright.

However, there were many other problems, of course not many were enjoying the fact that he became the Prophet, but his power in the Force, Dark Aura and vast amount of Force techniques were enough for many to shut up.

During the month he spent all his free time to integrate and become one of the One Sith. However, there was one, who didn't saw him as part of the Order. Darth Krayt. Once a great Jedi General, by the name A'Sharad Hett, he was a military leader of the Sith Order.

And that man wanted Starkiller dead. Maybe it was because of the fact that he was Vader's apprentice, or maybe because that he was closer to the slaying of the Emperor and Vader than anybody was and he wanted to be the one, who will do it, but nevertheless, he without a doubt was Naruto's enemy.

Even with backing of the Ladies, he was still to answer the call of the General.

He looked at the armored back of the Darth Krayt, who looked at some drawing, not even giving him a glimpse of attention.

"Do you know why I had sent for you?" asked Darth Krayt.

"No." replied Naruto.

"Straight to the point, I like this, you see, during last year, the activity of Mandolorian clans had risen. We presume that there is somebody behind this activity. Since the illness of the Emperor…" Naruto raised his brow. "Yes, yes, it looks like your duel took a heavy toll on his health. Whatever, since he fell with his illness and Vader came to power, many thought that it is time to take something for themselves."

General sighed.

"It looks like Death Watch finally decided to give everyone an example and secured some sort of facility." he threw something in Naruto's direction, which he instantly caught, it was a datapad. "There you will find all information that we have on these mercenaries."

Naruto nodded and turned to the exit. Not even once, during their conversation did Darth Krayt turn to look him into the eyes. With his reputation as a Sith, who has a problem with lying… all that mission sounded fishy.

Whether the cause he decided to council with the Three.

Next day. Sith Temple on Korriban. Room of Starkiller.

"You cannot, you absolutely cannot!" screamed Dart Talon, who hugged his leg with arms and legs with a clear goal to not let him go. When yesterday he told the Three about the quest of Darth Kryat, they gave him tons of different advices.

But strange things started after he got into his room. Talon waited him there. Then was something primal, wild and in most systems of former Republic, a bit… criminal, but both of them were satisfied by each other and the rest of the night, when they finally succumbed to the Morpheus, Sith Temple's denizen's praised the ghosts of former Lords and Dark Side that the two were finally silent.

However, next morning she was like this.

Then it hit him. He remembered that some female Sith, pass through some sort of bipolar period, after they find their mate. Naruto face palmed. Not only he had an entire Order of unstable maniacs to psychically evaluate and care off. Now he was practically married and without a doubt when other of the three will hear about this they will not let him slide.

Hour later after a lot of reassuring and giving a lot of promises to return, Naruto finally left Talon, who suddenly became so… so… Fuck he didn't even had words to describe this. No seriously, she was still the sexy Talon, who he met before and who, as he with a bit of disagreement recognized, loved.

But he missed that wild and primal Talon, whom he met during the celebration.

Naruto sighed, getting in his new ship. Not only this, but he was missing the 'Rogue Shadow', PROXY and… Juno. Even the company of the Jedi. He caught himself on the thought that he missed sexy ass of Master Ti.

And very flexible body of Maris Brood.

And of course Juno…

Naruto growled. He seriously needed to do something with it. He did all he could so they will be in more prized position than he saw in his vision. But soon after he awakened, he saw another vision. Force, unfortunately still held him.

And still had plans for him.

However, he needed to find the leader of mandolorians and he also needed to find was the fact about the Emperor, that Darth Krayt told him about, truth or not.

During his service to Darth Vader, he made a lot of different hideouts through all Empire. And now he went to one of those. Where, according to the intel of Darth Krayt he can find madolorian, who can give him information, young female, by the name Sabine.

Thus, he went to Lothal.

Lothal.

For more than seventeen years this planet was under Empire's control. Ahsoka Tano couldn't held her sigh as she looked at it. Kanan's group was fighting for the right cause as was the Rebel Fleet that she helped to secretly create, with support of senator Organa. But the Imperial forces were too powerful. Great in numbers, better equipped and trained, they were a serious threat, far too powerful for Rebel Fleet.

And of course their Inquisitors. Death of the Head Inquisitor didn't stop them, they came in greater numbers, prepared to fight and to die for Empire. As if Fifth brother and Seventh sister weren't enough, now Antinnis Tremayne, who to greatest displeasure of the Fisth brother and Seventh sister was made the High Inquisitor, and Jerec, one of the turned Jedi, also assaulted their positions.

But the help came from the side she had never imagined to exist. She felt how somebody placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Master Ti. She was glad that somebody aside her survived, aside from her to this planet arrived Master Paratus and her apprentice Maris Brood.

Recent news was interesting. It looked like Vader's secret apprentice rose against his Master. Organized the Rebellion, saved several Jedi Masters in secret and dueled Vader and the Emperor. Result was even more surprising: not only he managed to defeat the Dark Lord but he also managed to heavily wound the Emperor. Even with cost of his own life that is.

But such a great victory came with a great cost. Vader took all the power in the Empire and now whole Inquisition was on their tales. The first battle for the sheer existence of their Alliance will be here on Lothal.
Ahsoka felt it, but she also felt how something dark and powerful slowly went closer to Lothal. And it wasn't Vader, Vader was already on the planet. Whatever it was, it was far, far stronger than the Dark Lord.

Like the Force itself was unleashed.

Meanwhile. With Imperial fleet.

"High Inquisitor, are we absolutely sure, that they are here?" asked the admiral.

Cybernetic eye glowed in the darkness of the captain's board. "Yes." answered Tremayne. "The Jedi are here."

"But what about Rebel…"

Unseeing power forced him into the wall. "Admiral, Lord Vader, correction soon-to-be Emperor Vader, wishes to see results. That means dead Jedi, as in more than one, others are irrelevant."

"But sir…"

"Admiral." now Tremayne fully turned to the unfortunate male "Please, understand before I will kill you, Lord Vader wishes to punish those, who opposed and heavily wounded our beloved Emperor. We have to follow his orders to a word, if we wish to save our own lives. If you will pursue some other rebels and let the Jedi flee, you will die, if you will ignore Lord Vaders orders to capture the Jedi, you will die and lastly stop angering me, or you will die."

That was by far the longest thing that Admiral had heard from the Inquisitor Tremayne. A sign that he is in a very bad mood. It looked like instructions and rise in ranks given to him by the apprentice of the Emperor, were a glorified trap.

Well like it usually was among the Sith.

Tremayne didn't want to die, so he needed to fulfill the quest, given to him by his Master. He decided to use agent Kallus to lure the rebels from their hiding.

Rebel's hideout. Lothal.

Kanan was glad that there were Jedi except him, Ezra and Ahsoka, hell now with them a fucking Jedi Councilor, Master Shaak Ti, but the news that they brought with them were… very opposite. He was glad that the Emperor was now in coma or in whatever state he was. Vader will not kill him, but will not let him awaken either, seizing all power in the Empire for himself.

They also warned them that Vader sent two more experienced Inquisitors to deal with them. And Antinnis Tremayne was well known for corrupting the captured Jedi for the Dark Side. Due to his actions, Inquisitorius grew faster and became more powerful.

They didn't know, how he will try to lure them out, but they knew that it will be bloody.

Kanan was deep in thought when Hera decided to join him.

"Credit for your thoughts?" asked the beautiful green skinned twi'leck. Kanan raised his head. "You sit here all alone, looking in the wall, for several hours, you have some serious problem, that's without a doubt."

"I can feel the darkness. So thick and powerful. Much greater, than the one Antinnis emits. And I feel death. I fear that I know, how Kallus wants to lure us out."

"Kanan! Kanan!" Ezra ran inside, breathing heavily.

"What is it?" asked the elder Jedi.

"It's Kallus." Said Ezra. "He made his move."

All crew gathered inside the cantina, Ahsoka, Ti, Maris and Paratus looked at the holovid. They looked, how agent Kallus barked from the television. "Citizens of Empire! For too long filthy rebel scum has corrupted the minds of the loyal citizens. From now on..." the camera shifted to the other side, showing several citizens near the wall. Kallus raised his hand and blaster shots send them to their deaths. "The disobedience and nonconformity will not be tolerated anymore. Anyone, found to be communicating with rebels will be executed on spot."

Crew was silent.

"This is insane." said Ezra.

"I agree. Kallus stepped too far this time." said Hera. "We must capture him and sent him to the Rebel leaders."

"Where he will face judgment according to his crimes." said Master Ti.

"Or we can deal with him right now." said Maris.

"Easy there young one, that isn't a proper Jedi way." said Paratus.

"We must deal with the bastard." said Kanan. "Thus I agree with Maris."

"You are also forgetting that this is a trap." said Ahsoka, "Without a doubt, Inquisitors await us there, with Force knows how many stormtroopers."

"Yet we cannot let it slide." said Master Ti.

"I agree." said Rex, "But we must go. There is nobody else, who can stand against them. But we need a plan."

Imperial Army's barracks. Lothal.

Agent Kallus sat in his personal cabinet and slowly ate his dinner, being the face of Imperial law here on Lothal, had its pluses and minuses. Of course, now he had more chances to finally catch the annoying womp-rats, who dared to defy the rule of the Empire, but… He looked at the hideouts where Inquisitors waited, he hated to work with these snobs and his new position made him work with them even more.

Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother awaited the appearance of the rebels. They thirsted their blood to finally repay for the humiliation they were forced to deal with during the last nearly three years. Because of them, they lost their chance to take the position of High Inquisitor, now taken by Lord Antinnis Tremayne.

Inquisitors prepared the simple trap, yet effective enough to deal with the Jedi.

Meanwhile in the corridor, Ezra and Kanan, silently slashed through the guards. Ezra beheaded the stormtrooper and his head, slowly spinning fell to the floor, but his severed head was caught by Kanan.

"Easy there, Ezra." said Kanan placing his terrifying burden on the floor. "Dark Side is slowly taking its toll on you. Ease your spirit, control your anger."

"Yes, master." Ezra's face, hidden by his helmet was unreadable, but in his voice, Kanan could sense the regret, that young padawan felt. "Everything that happened… It was so… so…

Kanan placed his hand on the Ezra's shoulder "Don't worry, Ezra. We will deal with everything. Kallus will get what he deserved."

"That's what I'm bothered with. How should we react? What should we do? What should the Jedi do? Kallus is a rabid dog, but how can someone like a Jedi kill him in a cold blood?"

Kanan squeezed his shoulder harder. "We will do what we must, as peace-keepers and protectors of the common folk. And we will do what we must."

"Okay." said Ezra, using the Force to open the door to the cabinet. Kallus sat there with a smug face, sipping the wine from the glass. "Ah! Kanan Jarrus. Finally, you are here, as I can see. And with Ezra Bridger." said Kallus, showing them some sort of remote detonator.

Next second the Force screamed, warning them about danger and Kanan understood that they will not manage to evade the danger. Powerful wave of electrician surged through their bodies knocking them out. Kanan tried to rise when it stopped, but the large fist in the black armored gauntlet finished the deed.

"Finally. Both of them are in our hands." said Kallus.

"Correction, they belong to Inquisitorius now." said the Fith Brother. "Lord Tremayne wishes to see both of them milked of their knowledge of Rebellion and properly reeducated, to serve the Empire alongside the other Inquisitors."

"What? This is an outrage!" red blade appeared near his throat.

"Easy there boy." Said the Seventh sister. "Tremayne's orders are absolute. Nor you nor we can deny him. So be a good little agent and shut up."

Meanwhile, with Shaak Ti and others.

Sticking to a plan other Jedi and rebels caused mayhem in the barracks, to get attention from the Kanan and Ezra, who must had secured agent Kallus.

Green blades of Maris cut through the last stormtrooper and made several steps back, to her surprise her back hit someone other's and surprised by this she jumped forward and turned in the air landing now looking in the opposite direction, thus she met surprised gaze of Ahsoka, who did the same maneuver.

They were surprised by the fact that their Force sensitivity was… dulled somehow.

They all turned to the sound of clapping. Lord Antinnis Tremayne clapped into his hands standing in the doorway.

"Good day to you all, my dear Jedi and rebel friends." said High Inquisitor. "But here your resistance will meet its end." He clicked his fingers and entire division of stormtroopers circled them.

"Do you think that this will stop us?" asked Maris. "We have dealt with countless troopers on our way here."

"Oh… but of course…" he clicked his fingers again and motionless bodies of Kanan and Ezra fell to the ground, with Inquisitors taking position near them pointing their blades at their throats. "Lightsabers and other weapons on the floor, then stand on your knees and place your hands behind your head, or you will see the color of the insides of your friends."

Reluctantly they did as the Inquisitor asked and the entire group did as he told. Troopers hit them in the heads with butts of their guns.

Black Hound, Personal Star Destroyer of Lord Antinnis Tremayne.

They returned to their senses attached to some sort of restraining and Force-suppressing devices.

Ahsoka tried to move her hand but they were restricted with great caution. She turned her head when she once again heard the voice of Inquisitor.

"Glad that you are awake, my dear. You see, I can deal with your friends later, but you, on the other hand, was ordered to break, personally by Lord Vader. He wishes to see you soon. Of course, after you will tell me, where is General Kenobi?"

Meanwhile in the ship's hangar.

Official Empire's ship landed in the hangar.

"Sir." said one of the stormtroopers, as doors to the shuttle opened. "Please follow us to the…" after red slash his head fell to the ground. Figure in the dark-red cloak with glowing red blades entered the hangar.

Men slowly walked in the way, where he senses the group of rebels was.

He raised his hand Force chocking the group of the stormtroopers.

"Prepare the barricades!" heard he screams of the commander of enemy's forces. Spinning red blade pierced his chest and figure in dark-red robes appeared behind him, slashing his soldiers left and right. He got his sword back and continued his path.

Fifth Brother, who guarded the entrance to the torture chambers was bored beyond belief. At least Sister was allowed to see the process, and he… well he guarded the entrance.

Suddenly he heard the strange sound. Before him landed the white helmet of stormtrooper. Fifth brother activated his lightsaber. All lights in the corridor suddenly disappeared. In red light from his lightsaber, Fifth brother tried to see the one, who threw the helmet.

Sister looked, how Jerec and Antinnis tried to break Ahsoka. She looked at that with her breathing becoming faster and…

Suddenly the armored doors were destroyed by powerful Force Push, throwing them inside, alongside the Fifth Brother.

She went to him, in hopes that he will tell her what happened.

"R… Run… fools."

She heard the familiar zooming sound behind her and managed to evade the strike of the lightsaber.

She managed to jump away and turn to the coming threat. Inside the passage stood the man clad in sleeveless dark-red robes, armed with pair of red lightsabers.

"Who are you?" asked the High Inquisitor Tremayne.

"You can call me… Starkiller." said he, raising his head and showing his red, glowing eyes.
