Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Alternate

Disclaimer: I do not own STAR WARS. I only own the things I add to the STAR WARS universe for the sake of advancing the plot.

Explanations are at the end of each chapter

Summary: Darth Bane devised a plan that would allow him and Zannah to be able to prevent the title of Dark Lord of the Sith from falling into the hands of an unworthy successor, all they needed to do was 'die'. For the past thousand years they have been using unaltered clones of themselves as vessels, and have watched over their order. On the day Darth Plagueis died by the hand of his apprentice, Darth Sidious, their worst fears were realized, and so they sprung their plan to retake the Order of Sith Lords.

As Zannah fought her master, Darth Bane, for control of her body, she saw a plan appear in her mind. It showed herself standing alongside her master, Darth Bane, as eons passed, but neither aged. "This is my plan Zannah, we will watch over our order, and if an unworthy successor claims the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, we will reveal ourselves to the galaxy once more, but before this can happen, we. Must. Die."

Zannah soon realized that Bane intended to share the secret of the Essence Transfer with her so she inquired, "How are we to acquire new bodies, my master?"

Bane mentally smirked, "We will make unaltered clones of ourselves, no tampering with them to make them more docile, and no growth accelerants. We will keep them in their cylinder till the clones reache the age of ten before, we will then take our new vessels, and shall do so every thirty years."

Zannah soon saw where he was going with this, "You honestly believe the Iktotchi will be ready to take the mantle by then?Y

Zannah felt how confident Bane was in his prediction, "Without a doubt in my mind, Zannah."

"I'll get started right away, my master."

After this Banes spirit left his body, and wandered about for ten years, waiting for the day that Cognus would claim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, from Zannah.

When the time came, Darth Bane and Darth Zannah were reborn as for the first time, as two Orphans who were close friends, Dessel and Rain.

938 YEARS LATER

Bane and Zannah had been wandering the galaxy under various names they had kept in a cycle for the past 938 years. They were currently known as Sepp Omek, a thirty eight year old farmer, and his wife of the same age, Allia Rainstorm Omek. It was a set of names they had used before, but not in this manner.

They were currently living on the plot of land that had once belonged to the healer Caleb. Bane had taken to manual labor quite naturally due to spending his first adolescence in the Cortosis mines on Apatros. Zannah decided that she would help him, stating that she needed to make sure that her body was as strong as possible.

They knew that two years from now, they would change bodies again, so they planned to set up the title deed to the plot in the name of Sepp's distant cousin, Dessel who would bring his close friend Rain with him. Ironically these names were Bane and Zannah's favorites, if only because they remind them of who and what they really are: Darth's Bane and Zannah, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and the Dark Lady of the Sith.

They were far more dangerous now than they ever were before, Bane and Zannah had mastered all seven forms of lightsaber combat, and could execute each individual sequence they knew in three seconds or less, making them extremely dangerous in lightsaber combat.

Their mastery of the Dark Side was also far greater than ever. Bane, with help from Zannah, had finally managed to grasp the intricacies of Sith Sorcery about five hundred years ago. He could now use the Dark Side Tendrils that had been Zannah's trump card, but Zannah could use Sith Sorcery more efficiently than Bane. Zannah was now strong enough to stand up to him in unarmed combat.

They have acquired many starships over the years. Currently they have the Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1000 Light Freighter called the Nightfall, and the YT-1300 Light Freighter called the New Dawn.

Both the Nightfall and the New Dawn have been outfitted with two quad laser cannons on the top and bottom, concussion missile tubes loaded with cluster missiles, military grade deflector shields, and have been given hyperdrive upgrades: the Nightfall has a class 1 hyperdrive rating, and the New Dawn has a class .75 hyperdrive rating. Bane has been tinkering with them for a while now.

Not far from the two freighters were two Aurek-class tactical strikefighters, and a Hyperdrive equipped Z-95 Headhunter.

The reason they have these two freighters, and three starfighters is because their land was the most productive land on the planet, and pirates tend to think that anything belonging to farmers are easy targets.

They had convinced a good portion of their neighbors to become share croppers, in order to maximize their productivity. They would grow black-hole peppers, Flurr-Cle onions, Potatoes, and Space Carrots, as well as a large herd of Staga.

All these things were ingredients in what was known as Ambrian Stew, which had become quite popular on Coruscant, and were sold to Dexter Jettster, the owner of Dex's Diner.

They were currently loading up their cargo when they sensed a disturbance in the force in the form of sadness in the Dark Side. They knew exactly what had happened: an unworthy successor had claimed the title of Dark Lord of the Sith.

Bane mentally grimaced, "Seems we'll need to intervene after all," he mused, "but not yet, not till the time is right."

Zannah metally nodded in agreement, "Once the time is right, however, we will strike without mercy."

J. Hellscythe here, I've been kicking this idea around in my head, and finally managed to make the prologue, so review and let me know what you think.

EXPLANATIONS: When Darth Sidious (emperor Palpatine) claimed the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, all he did was get Plagueis drunk and wait for him to fall asleep. Once the Muun was sawing logs he used force lightning to short out his Transpirator mask (Plagueis needed this to breath) and stood there mocking him while his master suffocated.

When Zannah claimed the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, she had to fight her master tooth and nail, and even force his spirit out of her body in order to prevent him from using the essence transfer to steal his body. At the end of that battle, she had several broken ribs and a tremor in her left hand from Bane's attempt to use the essence transfer.

Who do you think cheated (HINT: it wasn't Zannah)
