The Dark Empress 2

The doors to the Sith Inquisitor hangar opened while Empress Sofia stepped inside and headed to her Sith Fury Class Interceptor ship while she ignited the engines and took off to Felucia. Ever since long ago, she's been wondering what ever happened to her old master, Xaya.

Arriving at Felucia she lands and hops out of her star-ship and begins to walk around exploring the planet.

Everywhere she turned she saw trees and creatures, suddenly she could feel something hit the ground hard like an earthquake. Trees began to fall and creatures ran away from the unknown beast.

Turning around igniting her Sith Inquisitor light-saber that Xaya gave her, she sees this huge giant blue and white rancor standing in front of her growling at her. Stepping back a few feet she looks up to see who was riding it. Someone in a dark purple robe hopped down and started walking towards Sofia while the rancor just stayed in place not moving.

The unknown person stops in front of Sofia while she just stares at her then looks at her star-ship.

"So it is true. You are an Empress of the Sith now. "

Curious to find out who this unknown person was, she held her light-saber closer to the person's neck while she looked behind her to see the rancor starting to growl.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. My pet will eat you in one bite. "

Pushing the hilt of the light-saber away she walks behind Sofia and stands in front of the star-ship while she reaches in her pocket and pulls out a data-pad. Strangely enough it ignites a blue holo-projector of her star-ship while she walks closer to the unknown person.

"Who are you by any chance?"

The person turns around and puts the data-pad back in her pocket while she removes the hood to reveal a young beautiful face, one even Sofia remembered.

"Xaya?"

Xaya laughed and turned back around facing the rancor while she jumps in the air and lands on the rancor's back while it turns around and begins to walk away from Sofia. Still in shock that it was Xaya, she had to follow her hoping to see where she was going.

After a few minutes of following her, she arrives at an old temple that had the mark of a Mandalorian symbol on the front doors. Xaya hops down while she spots Sofia behind her. She smiles and heads inside the temple leaving the front doors open.

Walking inside Sofia looks around to see that the temple was redone into a Sith Academy. Everywhere she looked she could see more and more Sith youngling walking around and dueling their own masters or partners.

"So you reconstructed this Mandalore temple into a Sith Academy?"

Every time she asked Xaya something she wouldn't answer but only laugh and smile. Still following her she arrived inside Xaya's office but seemed more like meeting room. Xaya sat down and sighed while she forced the door closed behind Sofia. Xaya sat behind her desk while Sofia sat in front of her on a small chair that was half broken and dusty.

"Why? Why did you come here?"

"Why? Because I wanted to see you! I haven't seen you in months ever since the last time we helped Malgus attack the Coruscant Jedi Temple."

Xaya smiled while she reached into her pocket and took out something small and paper like. She handed it to Sofia while she looked at it. The picture of both of them before Xaya's parents died when she was a kid.

"Keep it. I can't have the others wondering why I have this picture."

Xaya got out of her chair and walked towards the window that showed the forest of Felucia and Xaya's pet rancor. Sofia on the other hand got up and walked out of Xaya's office and headed outside while Xaya just stayed in her office watching her leave.

She turned around and pressed a small button on the desk that would send her own personal assassin droids to her office or any other droid she needed.

Two B-2 Super Battle droids and one Assassin droid stepped inside and awaited for instructions.

"You three, go follow Empress Sofia and make sure you track her star-ship so I know where she's going. Do it before she leaves this planet."

The three droids turned around and headed outside while they walked slowly following Sofia. They could see her getting inside her star-ship while the assassin droid placed a small tracking devise onto her ship. Meanwhile, Xaya reached into her pocket and pulled out the data-pad and ignited it while Sofia's ship appeared on screen taking off.

She smiled while she watched the droids get into a Tripod star-fighter and take off following Sofia. Xaya turned around and walked out of her office while she walked inside the main hangar which held her most powerful star-ship. More powerful than the Sith fury class interceptor. Even more powerful than the Death star.

After about an hour of following the droid tripod, it led them to Coruscant where Sofia's new plan was going. Xaya's eyes widen while her star-ship hovered in front of the newly built Sith Temple where the Jedi Temple use to stand.

Seeing how Xaya was completely surprised by how well Sofia was doing with her new plan, she had to believe this wasn't a dream.

Sun rises above the Sith Temple while Empress Sofia heads inside the newly built Sith Temple while Xaya follows. Inside the Sith Temple revealed such power, such strength flowing through the temple. Everywhere Xaya looked she saw equipment and stages for practice or torture for the ones who disobeyed their masters or Sofia. Xaya walked beside her while she continued to stare all around the temple seeing more and more Sith youngling with their masters or partners. Turning around facing Sofia she steps closer to her while she begins to speak.

"I am surprised you did this, but how?"

Nothing more came out of Sofia other than a laugh and evil smile while she headed upstairs to her office where three assassin droids stood guard. The doors opened while Sofia stepped inside and walked towards the window while Xaya looked around in the room seeing a lot of Sith Holo-crons and Data-pad's.

"Ever since the day you left, I have been thinking real hard on how to change my life and become a better Empress. Finally I had the help from Malgus's soldiers clearing out the Jedi's and their padawans. Then we had the plans of clearing out the way of the Jedi temple and replacing it with the new Sith Temple that would strike fear into tons of people. It's the only way to get noticed and soon I shall have tons of minions under my control!"

Xaya laughed while she held up one of the Sith Holo-cron and studied it for a minute then placed it down. She got out her data-pad that would send out a world globe or the galaxy map while she placed it on Sofia's desk.

"Sofia, I already have over a thousand world's under my control. Even in this sector you have nothing but only one. You must learn that I am the true Empress, I am the true Dark Empress, and you are nothing but the apprentice of mine still."

Silence broke the room for a while until one of Sofia's guards entered.

"My empress, an unknown star-fighter has entered the atmosphere. Shall we set fire to it?"

Xaya looked at the guard then back at Sofia while Xaya smiled. The guard stood still for a minute while Sofia finally spoke.

"No, let them enter and bring whoever it is here."

The assassin droid nodded and left the room while Xaya sat down. Sofia could tell Xaya was up to something but just not quite sure what though. Sofia stared out the window while she could see the star-fighter landing in front of the temple, strangely enough the star-fighter was gold in color and oval in shape. She could see the doors opening on the star-fighter while several figures appeared out of the fighter.

The assassin droid came out of the temple and walked up to the beings while he bowed and led them inside the temple. The doors to the fighter closed slowly while a small green dark mist came out from the fighter leading into the temple.

The doors to Sofia's office opened while the assassin droid stepped inside while the beings followed. She could see that there was only four of them, same size, same shape, even same color.

"My lord, these four beings are from a different universe from what they tell me. They say they're with Xaya as well."

Sofia looked at Xaya while Xaya smiled and stood up walking to the beings.

"Indeed these four are with me, they're my companions for battle. Do not underestimate them, they have more skill and more strength than any human or alien. They can easily replace you and destroy this temple under my command and they'll do as I say."

Sofia's eyes widen while she turned back around looking at the beings craft. Seeing that they were aliens, she didn't need Xaya ruining her plan to take over Coruscant, but she could control the beings somehow.

"Don't worry, I won't tempt them as long as you don't get in my way of my plan for Coruscant."

Xaya stepped closer to Sofia while she ignited her light-saber and held it near Sofia's neck while the beings stepped closer to Xaya.

"I make no promises and if I want to control this planet then I will. I don't need you in the way, I can just command my minions to throw you out."

Sofia pushed the hilt of the light-saber away while she walked out of her office and headed to her star-ship while Xaya's companions followed her.

Nearing her ship she turned around to see that the beings were following her while Sofia got inside her ship and ignited the engines and took off. The beings on the other hand, went back to their ship and took off following her as well.

Xaya stayed behind while she sat down at the desk and stared out the window wondering what she could do to make this temple better. That is, if she wanted this planet for herself.

As night took it's place over the city of Coruscant, Sofia headed to her chambers inside her Sith temple while she stared at the Sith statue that was placed in the middle of the hallway, everyone knew who this Sith was even she did because the Sith was her brother. Lord Snake. Ever since the terrible accident back two months ago on Mustafar she could never forget what happened even if she tried real hard to.

She shook her head and continued walking down the hallways while she spotted her chambers. The assassin droid opened the doors for her while she walked inside and got ready for bed.



Morning peaked through her window while she awoke to see a small note beside her bed. She got up and picked up the note while she unfolded it and read it.

"Sofia, I have made my decision to let you keep your Sith temple on Coruscant. Seeing how I rule over a thousand planets and galaxies, I think it's fair enough to let you keep Coruscant to yourself. I won't be in the way but I will have some few, minor, changes made to the Sith temple, some you may like.

~Xaya DarkEmpress~"

Sofia folded the note and tucked it in her pocket while she headed out of her chambers to see the two assassin droids have left. Curious to find out where they went she didn't bother but to head back to the Sith temple.

Suddenly she sees a Sith youngling running towards her in panic mode.

"Empress! Someone ruined the Sith Statue! No one knows who did it but please come see!"

The youngling took her hand and ran to the main hall where every Sith padawan, teacher, master, and lord stood staring up at the statue that was covered in some kind of green smoke. The statue even seemed to be disappearing into thin air. The light-saber that the statue had was gone, his armor was gone, only thing that stood was his body, his helmet, and parts of his armor.

"Does anyone know who did this, if so come fourth now."

No one came fourth to Sofia but one guard did and he had some good information to tell.

"I remember seeing someone or something, coming inside the temple and staring at it while the person raised his hands and green smoke appeared out of his hands covering the statue. I didn't get near the person but it had a long head, very skinny body, and then it walked out the temple where two other people were. Then they left without noise."

Surprised by his information, she remembers Xaya having three of her companions claimed to be aliens. She ran out of the temple and headed into the Sith Inquisitor hangar where her Sith star-ship was. Walking inside she ignites the engines and lifted off to find where Xaya was hoping that her so called companions where with her as well.

Arriving at Nal Hutta she lands her star-ship while she heads inside the cantina hoping someone here would have seen Xaya and her companions.

Suddenly she spots a bounty hunter that had the mark of the Sith Empire on his armor. This should be some fun, she thought.

"Bounty Hunter, have you seen this person walk inside the cantina or anywhere outside?"

Showing the bounty hunter a picture of Xaya and her companions, he nods while he points back outside.

"Sure have, that empress is too powerful for anyone in the cantina. She went heading into the city plaza where someone had a so called, present, for her. I don't know what it meant but it's worth a look eh?"

Sofia put the picture back into her pocket while she ran out of the cantina hoping that Xaya was still at the city plaza. Only problem was that the city plaza was filled with hundreds of people, aliens, everyone so it'd be more hard for her to find Xaya.

Arriving at the city plaza she sighs while she stares at the crowd of hundreds of people knowing this was going to be hard so she pushed through everyone hoping one of them was Xaya or at least seeing Xaya somewhere in the crowd.

Pushing her way nearing the end of the crowd she finally spots one of her companions walking towards the taxi while she follows. The being stood in front of a hovering taxi that was for sale while he contacted Xaya speaking a different language. It seemed as though Xaya was looking for a taxi for sale or if the being was, either way she didn't care she just wanted to find her.

Hopping into the taxi that was already available, she heads to the local city town plaza that was packed with people. Luckily she spots her but while she sees her, Xaya suddenly disappears without a trace.

Without a trace Xaya had disappeared into thin air in the middle of the town plaza. Turning around trying to spot the taxi all Sofia could see were more people crowding her way.

One of Xaya's companions spots Sofia while it starts walking towards her grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the crowd.

Speaking a different language to Sofia, the being tried to speak English to her.

"You, coming with-- me."

"Over your dead body slime!"

Grabbing the beings arm she twist it as the being screams in pain while it kneels down only to be electrocuted by Sofia while everyone beside them backed away and watched the being die. Only matter of seconds the being was dead while she continues to search for Xaya hoping that she would be somewhere near.

Few minutes pass by while Sofia finally spots Xaya walking inside the Sith temple. Running towards Xaya she looses her again while she stops in the middle of the disappearing Sith statue. Still needing to find out who damaged the statue she goes to search for Xaya throughout the temple.

Arriving at her chambers she spots the two assassin droids guarding her room while they open the doors to let Sofia in.

"Well look who finally arrived after a hard day."

Her eyes widen while she sees Xaya and another girl who looked to be around twenty years old.

"Xaya? Why are you, who is this girl you bring?"

The girl stands while she bows and stands by Xaya.

"This girl is my daughter. Xamilla, meet Empress Sofia. My close, well not sure about close but friend."

Xamilla did have a good name for a Sith or is she Sith? Sofia walks back to her desk while she sits and reaches into her pocket where the note was placed. Unfolding the note she hands it to Xaya while Xaya reads it.

"What did you do to the Sith Statue in the Main hall of the Sith Temple? It is disappearing, parts of armor are disappearing, the light-saber it held disappeared, and it's continuing!"

Xaya laughs while she reaches into her robe and pulls out a small data-pad.

"Only statues can be under anyones command but when it comes to a rare species of aliens, they can undo what has been untouched. Seeing that the Sith statue is disappearing, you will have to talk to my companions. Although they left about an hour ago.

Now I wouldn't do this but seeing how you are the only empress around here besides me, I am leaving you in charge of my daughter. Xamilla will be brought to the Sith Academy on Korriban in no less than two days. If she has not arrived, you will die under my wrath."

Sofia nodded while Xaya stood and left the room while Xamilla stayed sitting. Seeing that Sofia didn't know anything about Xamillia, she thought that she'd ask anyway.

"Xamilla, what is your profile?"

Xamilla stayed silent but the silence didn't last that long.

"Unlike you, I have a standard profile by my mother. I was born on Dromund Kaas by my own mother and raised on Korriban. Seeing how I had a very strong connection in the Force, I have mastered all of the basic dark arts by the age of ten. Meanwhile I had completed all of my trials on Dromund Kaas by the age of sixteen while my mother brought me in and made me her apprentice.

I was also raised in Sith royalty meaning I had a very high sense of pride, even others agreed seeing how my mother is the most powerful empress known demand. Although I can be cruel with others I do not like so I suggest that you stay on my good side if you do not want to be under my blade."

Sofia just sat there surprised by what Xamilla had to say.

"Anything else?"

Xamilla nodded while she continued to speak.

"My ultimate goal is to one day succeed to the dark council and someday take my mothers place on the throne of the empire. Seeing how that I am very loyal to my mother, I take after her and train off of her while I use her skills to do my own bidding."

Xamilla stood up while her eyes lit blood red while she stared down at Sofia.

"Anything else you'd like to hear from me?"

Sofia didn't speak a word but to only stand and hand Xamilla her mothers light-saber. Before in the past Xaya had given Sofia her light-saber that Xaya used when she was a Sith apprentice after Sofia's completed trials, Xaya gave her the light-saber while she had no further use for Sofia.

They both walked out of the chambers and headed back to Korriban where an unexpected surprise awaited for the both of them, or only Xamilla.

Placing her fingers on the cracked window of the star-ship empress Sofia was commanding, Xamilla sighed while she watched them leave Coruscant and headed to Korriban. She sat down on a box that was placed right under the window while she began meditating and saying the code she had to learn before they got to Korriban.

"Peace is a lie.. there is only passion."

Sofia knew Xamilla didn't want to become Sith just yet but it was better off for Sofia to bring her to Korriban rather than her dying by Xaya. The doors from the cockpit opened while Sofia stepped inside and leaned against the wall while she stared at Xamilla and watched her.

"Through passion, I gain strength.

Though strength, I gain power.."

Her eyes opened while she stopped saying the code and sat there silent. Sofia laughed while she left and returned to the cockpit while Xamilla started to meditate again trying to learn the code once more.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Though passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The Force shall set me free."

Something felt weird for Xamilla, her whole body began to glow slightly red in color and her hands trembling while she stood up and tried to head to the cockpit but instead fell backwards while her head slammed into the glass window. She dropped unconscious while blood ran down her forehead not knowing anything of what happened only the code she had just said.



Awakening in a medic room she looked beside her but only to see the medic droid, B.O.T 97. She tried to speak but her mouth was completely dry.

"Where am I?"

B.O.T 97 looked at her while he turned around grabbing a glass of water and handed it to Xamilla.

"Drink. You've been unconscious for a couple hours."

She took the glass and drank the water while she swallowed and handed it back to the droid. Still confused if she was still on the ship or on Korriban she just needed to know where Sofia was.

"Where am I? Where is empress Sofia?"

"You are on Korriban near the Valley of the Dark-Lords. Your master empress Sofia, left a while ago. Said she needed to speak to head inquisitor Harkun about your arrival."

Seeing how she was on Korriban she needed to leave the medic but while she stood up everything around her went insanely dizzy enough to make her fall back onto the bed. The droid left the room for around ten minutes while he came back in.

"You have a visitor, shall I send him in?"

Xamilla nodded while the droid led the unknown visitor inside. He wore a black armored chest plate and a black robe that hung from his neck. His head was covered with a black hood while he removed it revealing a pale white zabrak face.

"Where is empress Sofia?"

Xamilla's eyes widen.

"Snake."

"You, you're Snake?"

While standing in the medic room staring at Xamilla, he nodded and stood beside her while he placed both of his hands on her chest while a flash of red light ignited from his palms. His eyes closed while he started mumbling a spell while Xamilla moaned in pain. The red light disappeared into Xamilla's chest while Snake stepped back and helped her off the bed.

She didn't seem dizzy rather she seemed fine.

"What did you do to me?"

Snake looked at her and handed her a map of Korriban while he left the medic room and headed towards the Sith academy.

"I healed you with the Dark side of the Force. Healing can improve your strength in combat, rather it helps you and your body. Although it may be a painful feeling, it works good enough."

Nothing came to mind for Xamilla at the moment but she continued to follow Snake to the Sith academy where Harkun was.

Walking through the halls, Xamilla stared at each thing that was either on the wall or on ground. Turning the corner she sees a huge ancient Sith Holo-cron standing in the middle of the room. They entered the hallway where head Overseer Harkun stood in his chambers. Snake grabbed Xamilla's shoulder and pulled her back.

"I must warn you, Overseer Harkun is very cruel and rude, speaking of a Sith, Harkun will destroy you by any chance he will get. You must have the Sith eyes to see it in him. I came to Korriban on my first day and I knew Harkun wanted me dead but I showed him what I was capable of. Good luck Xamilla."

Xamilla nodded and headed into the chambers where she stood behind an unknown female whom she did not know. This female wore a white and purple stripped Sith outfit and a purple hood. Xamilla stepped back a few feet and watched her.

"Harkun, you fool. In any other group for any other lord, this young man would have torn the other acolytes to shreds. What were you trying to prove? That you could outsmart me? That you knew better than me, what kind of person I wanted for an apprentice?"

Harkun stayed silent until he spotted Xamilla while the other Sith turned around and smiled.

"So you're the new apprentice I was expecting? Shame, I thought it was going to be someone more Sith like, more stronger. This is Lord Zash of the Sith Council and I am Overseer Harkun. You will be training on Korriban until you drop to your knees and die."

Xamilla's eyes widen while she just nodded and continued listening.

Zash walked towards her and looked at her staring, seeing if Xamilla would be perfect to train for her apprentice. Zash handed Harkun a small letter that had the name of Xamilla's master while Harkun nodded and left the room while Zash stood beside her.

"Xamilla, daughter of Xaya DarkEmpress. I have been waiting to see you in person."

Xamilla stayed silent while Harkun came in with another Sith member. This Sith member wore a black robe and a chest plate while the Sith Marauder helmet covered the Sith face. Removing the mask to reveal a half robotic and half human face.

"Xamilla, this is Darth Xylonic, a Cyborg Sith who will train you for the next few years. Xylonic, make sure she completes her trials and whatever you do, watch out for her mother Xaya.

I already have too many scars and I can't afford for my head to be cut off by that beast. Teach her well."

Xylonic nodded and took Xamilla to the Valley of the Dark-Lords where her training would soon begin.

Walking out of the academy, Xylonic stops her and stands beside her while he ignites his light-saber.

"You will do as I say or I will kill you. I do not care for your mother, I can handle her my own. For now your training will begin but if you fail, torture and pain will come your way."

Xamilla nodded and continued walking to the taxi where they would head to the lower level of Korriban.

Arriving inside the Valley of the Dark-Lords, Xylonic stood in the entrance with Xamilla while he pushed her ahead making her walk. Xamilla stared around at the cave to see different creatures and other hostile beast.

"What is this place? What is so important about this old cave?"

Xylonic stopped and so did Xamilla while Xylonic ignited his light-saber and held it near the caves walls to see ancient writings.

"The Valley of the Dark Lords, originally known as the Valley of the Sleeping Kings, was a valley and burial ground of Korriban's Sith Lords. Originally constructed by the planets natives as a burial ground for their kings; the Exiles of the Jedi Order who came to be known as the Dark Lords of the Sith added their own tombs to the Valley. Along with several prominent tombs, the Valley was home to the ancient Sith Great Temple and Lord Khreusis's Stronghold which would loom over the Valley for several millennium. It has been ten years since I last stood on this lost world. It is a place still potent with power."

Xylonic turned his saber off and continued walking through the cave while Xamilla continued walking beside him.

"So this place has actual dead bodies still buried here? Wow, no wonder this place has power."

Xylonic didn't know why he had to study this girl either, but giving her information was useless. This girl couldn't learn anything. Xylonic thought she'd be lucky to even escape out of the cave alive after the entrance of Ajunta Pall's tomb.

"This way leads to the Tomb of Ajunta Pall, a fierce Sith Lord. According to legend, the blade proved more fearsome than the Master, leading to his demise. Ajunta's dark specter lived on through the centuries, until Revan entered the Sith Lord's tomb in search of the blade. Revan calmed the angry ghost of Ajunta Pall and showed him the path back to the light."

Xamilla stood at the entrance to Ajunta Pall's tombstone, nothing but dirt and a few statues were placed into the ground. Her heart beating fast but yet she felt more energy than ever inside of her. Suddenly the ground started to rumble, the statues began to sink into the ground while a large statue of Ajunta Pall rose into the sky. The eyes lit red while dust flew around the statue creating a dust devil tornado. Xylonic stood behind while he pushed Xamilla in front of the storm while the dust cleared and a half dead person stumbled in front of her walking more closer to Xamilla.

"Are you the real, Ajunta Pall?"

His dead eyes, his skeleton chest, everything in him was dead but yet the spirit was still inside him.

"I… had a name, once. Ajunta Pall. Yes, that was my name. I was one of many. We were servants of the dark side… Sith Lords, we called ourselves. So proud. In the end we were not so proud. We hid… hid from those we had betrayed. We fell… and I knew it would be so."

Ajunta handed out a Sith artifact and handed it to Xamilla. She took it while Ajunta fell to the ground and sank back into his grave while the spirit held on tight.

Suddenly Xamilla felt dizzy, something was wrong something, not right. She fell on the ground while Xylonic left her.

It had been exactly two weeks since the disappearance of Xamilla near Ajunta Pall's tomb. Xylonic went looking for her after the second week had pasted but he couldn't see anything. Just dust and the statues.

Suddenly he heard something in the distance, sounded like someone moaning in pain while he looks over to his left to see Xamilla face down in the dirt while a Massiff creature like animal walks near her staring at her with it's jaws open. Xamilla's eyes widen while she tried moving but the pain stayed within her. The massiff came closer to her and swiped her leg making her fall. She moans in pain while she turns around and holds her hand out in front of the creature while a flash of lightning ignites from her palms and into the creatures skull while the creatures head explodes into pieces.

Xamilla stood but it felt like her left leg was broken from the creatures swipe. Xylonic walked towards her while he ignited his light-saber and held it out to Xamilla.

"Take it. Stab the creature in the heart."

Xamilla looked down at the creature but she didn't know where the heart of it was located at.

"Where exactly?"

Xylonic pointed in the middle of the creatures stomach while Xamilla nodded and rose the light-saber in the air and forced it down into the creatures heart while she watched it die. She hands back Xylonic's light-saber while she stands beside him.

"Good work. I see you have mastered Force Lightning as well. Usually I have to make the padawans learn it."

Xamilla looked at Xylonic while she forced his light-saber away from him and ignited it near his neck.

"I am no padawan, I am a gifted apprentice to the most powerful lady in all the galaxy! May I remind you, she will kill you in one second. She will protect me anywhere I go. She is in me as I am in her. I suggest you think about that, or die as one."

Xamilla walked away while Xylonic stood there thinking. Closing his eyes he forces back his light-saber from Xamilla while she stops and looks back then continues walking.



Meanwhile on Dromund Kaas, Xaya DarkEmpress, most powerful lady in all the galaxy walks out of her chambers and heads to her star-ship. She steps inside the cockpit and ignites the engines while she heads to Korriban to see if Sofia had arrived with Xamilla.

She arrives in Korriban's atmosphere and lands near the Sith Academy while she steps out and looks around for Xamilla. Nowhere to be found while empress Sofia walks out of the academy with a medic droid. Xaya walks towards Sofia and pushes the droid out of her way and grabs Sofia's neck while she starts choking her hard.

"Where is my daughter you little shit?"

"I don't... know! Harkun... assigned Darth Xylonic for her new master."

Xaya stared into Sofia's eyes then threw her against the flag pole near the academy entrance.

"Darth Xylonic, hmm.."

Sofia stood up and healed her throat while she stood beside Xaya.

"They must of gone to some other mission I wasn't aware of. Either that or she got eaten."

"My daughter would not get eaten out here. She is a powerful girl, more powerful than you obviously. Help me find her, I want to see how her progress is doing."

"Yes mistress."

They both walked towards the Valley of the Dark-Lords where Xamilla was last seen while they searched for her.

Meanwhile, Xylonic ignited his light-saber for a test of dueling against Xamilla. She ignited her light-saber as well and held it out pointed at Xylonic ready for a first strike. Xylonic jabbed at her but missed while Xamilla took her first jab and sliced Xylonic's chest plate.

Xamilla jumped back and took a second jab at Xylonic but missed while they both clashed their light-sabers together.

"Good work. You need more training but the day is almost over. I need my rest for tomorrow. Go to your chambers and we'll continue tomorrow morning."

Xamilla nodded and headed to her chambers where an unexpected surprise was waiting for her.

She enters her chambers to see her mother standing near the window while she places her light-saber on her desk.

"Mother? What are you doing here?"

Xaya turned around and smiled while she took Xamilla's light-saber and looked at it closely.

"I returned to Korriban to see how your progress was doing. I see it is going well from what Overseer Harkun tells me."

Xamilla nodded while she sat on her bed. Xaya sat beside her and hugged her.

"I have a small mission for you. Tomorrow when she least expects it, I want you to get rid of empress Sofia."

"What do you mean get rid of her, mother?"

Xaya handed Xamilla her double handed light-saber while she nodded.

"Kill her."

Xamilla nodded while Xaya walked out and left.

The next morning had peaked up into the skies of Coruscant while Xamilla headed out of her chambers and went to find her master empress Sofia.

Walking through the streets of Coruscant she thinks to herself how she would kill Sofia, her own master. The only thing that kept popping up in her mind was stabbing her or electrocuting her to death.

She turned one corner to find Sofia staring up at this star-ship that was taking off. She waved goodbye while she turned around to see Xamilla holding a double bladed light-saber.

"Apprentice! How has your training been going?"

She drew a confused face and shrugged.

"Fine, as usual I guess."

Sofia smiled while she looked at Xamilla's new light-saber. Nothing came to mind until they started walking to Sofia's star-ship. They both got in while the engines ignited and they took off.

Xamilla looked out the window to see they were in hyperspace while the doors from the cockpit opened up and Sofia stepped inside. She sat next to Xamilla while she took her new light-saber.

"Where did you get this?"

Xamilla took it back from her while she drew an angry face towards Sofia.

"That is clearly none of your business. I believe you should focus on yourself so nothing "bad", would happen."

Sofia drew a confused face while she stood up and walked back to the cockpit while Xamilla stared out the window to see they came out of hyperspace and heading towards a dark covered planet. She kept looking to see where they were but nothing came to her mind at the moment.

The doors opened again while Sofia stepped inside and sat across from Xamilla.

"What is this place we're going to?"

Sofia reached into her robe and pulled out a small holo-projector that ignited a small planet covered in darkness.

"This place is called Umbaran. You should watch yourself out here, these Umbarans are culturally known as the Shadow People, resided on the dark world of Umbaran deep within the Ghost Nebula. Umbarans could see in ultraviolet and had the ability to read, subtly influence, and sometimes control the will of others."

Xamilla looked out the window to see the ship was landing nearby a temple in the far distance.

The ship had landed and they got out while they walked to the temple. Xamilla held out her light-saber ready to kill Sofia when she'd least expect it. The only thing she didn't know was how to.

They came up to the temple while two Sith acolyte stood guard while they both ignited their light-sabers and watched Sofia and Xamilla walk inside the temple. Inside the temple were tons of exercise stages. One a dueling arena, beside it had an actual rancor pit where the Sith were forced to battle against it. Xamilla continued to follow Sofia to her chambers where she collected the most Sith holo-crons and Jedi holo-crons.

"This is a fine collection of holo-crons you have here master."

Sofia nodded and sat down at her desk while Xamilla stood behind her and looked out the window. She knew this time would be a perfect time for her to kill Sofia that way she would have complete control over this temple and have her rightful name known as Empress Xamilla. Something she desired.

She took the light-saber and held it near Sofia's back and clicked the ignite button.

All Sofia could feel was complete pain, she took her last breath and fell facedown onto the desk. She had done it, she had killed her own master.

She stared at the dead body not knowing what to do with it. A small smile came across her face while she took the body and threw it against the wall and sat down at the desk. Now the only thing she needed was to take her rightful place with her mother. But that was only soon to come for her. And a unexpected surprise within.

After the first week of empress Sofia's death, Xamilla had earned her title of empress along with her mother, Xaya. Nothing could stop these two Sith Empress, or so they thought.

After Xaya's arrival on Umbaran, she had took her daughter with her to Dromund Kaas where she would be able to teach Xamilla all the dark arts of the Sith. Arriving at Xaya's office, she handed Xamilla a small red book that had the symbol of the Sith on the cover.

"This my sweet dear, is a powerful book you should learn. Read this book front to back and bring it to me once you're done. Then you shall start your training beside me. Ha, mother and daughter both Sith Empress, I've always dreamt about it."

Xamilla smiled and so did Xaya while Xaya sat down at her desk and took out a few papers she had to study while Xamilla started reading the Sith book.

The title showed the only,

"Book Of Sith; Secrets Of The Dark Side.

She opened the book slowly and began reading the first page that appeared.

PREFACE

By Darth Sidious.

"I have accomplished what no Sith has ever done before. I have destroyed the Jedi and subverted Coruscant. I sit on the throne of a new and unstoppable regime. I will shape the great Galactic Empire according to my own design.

The Sith have dreamt of this moment since the beginning of recorded history. I could not have achieved this prize without treading on the backs of those who came before. Exploiting the failures of others is the way of the Sith.

Since my days as a young noble on Naboo, long before I joined Darth Plagueis and began my apprenticeship, I collected dark side lore. These rubbings of Sith tablets and untranslatable runic scrolls were coveted and traded on the black markets by cultist, collectors, and museum curators willing to defy the Republic's ban of Sith artifacts."

The doors opened behind her while two Magnaguards step inside with an unknown Sith. Xaya stood and bowed to the unknown Sith.

"Hello Xaya. And who might this beautiful lady be?"

Xamilla didn't look up rather she hid the book from the Sith.

"This is my daughter, Xamilla. She is one to become Sith. She is just learning her basics."

Xamilla stood up and turned around to see a pale white Zabrak with the markings of blood, scars, and death. The Sith removed his hood to reveal who he was.

"Xamilla, I remember you. We met back on Korriban in the medic room. Where is your master, empress Sofia?"

Xamilla just stared at the Sith and pushed him away and walked out of the office. Xaya shrugged while she walked over to the Sith and looked out the doorway to see Xamilla sitting on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I had my daughter.. well I had her get "rid" of Sofia. She was becoming to much of a pain."

She could tell the Sith was confused while he turned around and looked at Xamilla.

"Your daughter killed my sister Sofia? I fear the worse for Xamilla then."

Xaya drew a confused face while she stood by the doorway watching Xamilla.

The Sith walked beside Xaya and stood there while the two magnaguards stood beside the Sith.

"Snake, do me a favor and get rid of the magnaguards."

Seeing how Snake was his true Sith name, he nodded and sent the magnaguards away while he continued staring at Xamilla.

"She is one true Sith I can assure. What is that book she is reading by any chance?"

"It is the Book of Sith. Seeing how I have drawn closer to my own daughter, I gave her that book so she could learn from it. Front to back and bring it back to me once she is done. She will be more powerful by next year. Don't you think so?"

Snake looked back at Xaya and nodded then looked back at the book Xamilla was reading.

He turned to Xaya and took her into her office while he shut the door behind her.

"I have something to tell you, something you may not like."

Xaya drew a confused face and shrugged.

"What is it?"

Snake handed her a holo-projector that showed where Sofia was, turns out she was still on Umbaran but she wasn't anywhere near the Sith academy where she had been killed.

"It's Sofia. She's alive."

Xaya looked at the holo-projector while she shook her head.

"Why... why hasn't she died yet?!"

"She was your apprentice long ago, you trained her, you healed her, you brought her power. She is unstoppable for you and Xamilla."

Xaya shook her head again and walked near the window where it looked over Dromund Kaas city. Snake stood beside her while he stared out the window watching everyone walk around like ants.

"I'm afraid I have to leave, I shall see you soon."

Xaya nodded while Snake left her chambers while Xamilla stood and walked inside Xaya's office and sat down with the book still in her hands. Xaya walked near Xamilla while she stood beside her and looked down to see what page she was on, page fourteen of the Hundred Year Darkness. Xaya walked away while Xamilla continued reading.

"The Hundred Year Darkness."

"The war in which we fought, and in which many of our followers died, could have been prevented. It was the Jedi who took up arms to keep us from revealing the truth about the Force. They had been paddling in the shallows for eons. By boldly venturing into the Force's expanse, we gained powers that no Jedi had ever possessed. Life itself was at our command."

Life itself was at their command she thought, what if life was at her own command. She could control anyone she wanted to. A small evil smile peaked on Xamilla's face while she continued reading.

"It was I who grew the leviathans, who splintered the Jedi barricades at Balmorra. I gave them the ability to swallow spirits and to store those life energies in skin-blisters. The leviathans, my exquisite monsters, were the final culmination of the Shamblers, the Howlers, the Pit Horrors, and all the other spawn I'd given shape and purpose to my purpose.

The Jedi shunned this power, as they have resisted every improvement. They caused the schism in their own ranks. Until we annihilate the old order, the pattern will continue repeating forever."

Xaya walked back in with a holo-cron that glowed bright orange while she placed it on her desk while Xamilla closed the book and stared at the holo-cron wondering what it was.

"Oh, you're still here, I thought you left."

Xamilla didn't respond but continue looking at the holo-cron.

"You adore this holo-cron, don't you?"

Nothing, only a simple nod while her eyes widen and Xaya laughed while the holo-cron ignited a bright painful beam into Xamilla's chest sending her unconscious for quite a while.



Waking up in her chambers she rises up in pain, her back ached in such agony, her heart beating uncontrollably, her head pounding with a painful headache, everything in her could not stop hurting.

The medic droid stepped inside with three small needles that would help her loose the pain while he stuck one into her left arm for about twenty seconds. Second one in her right arm for another twenty seconds and the third one in her right arm again for twenty seconds.

She looked over at the medic droid that showed his name plate. BC-99. Simple droid, yet he was different looking than any other medic droid she saw.

After about an hour in the medic room, she headed out while she began walking through the city. Strangely enough, she hopped into the taxi that led her to an ancient Jedi temple hidden deep on Dromund Kaas. The taxi landed while she hopped out and looked at the Jedi temple in confusion. Suddenly the taxi lifted off and she was stranded there, so she decided to go look for herself what was in the Jedi temple.

Her light-saber in her hand, she stepped inside the temple's entrance while two Jedi Knights attacked her knocking her out and putting her in a prison cell.

She awoke half an hour later while she stood up and looked around but to see only walls and a young Jedi that had a white hood covering his face, he wore a long white robe with white gloves and boots, he must be the owner of the temple.

The Jedi turned around to see Xamilla had awoken while he stood in front of her outside the prison cell.

"Well look who's up. You have nerve of coming down here, trying to take over my temple. How did you come here in the first place?"

Xamilla didn't respond but only shrugged.

"A taxi brought me here. I was heading back to my mothers office but instead arrived here."

The Jedi didn't buy it while he turned the ray shields off and chained her hands up while he pushed her into another room that only had a desk and two chairs while she sat at one of the chairs.

"I know who you are, you're the daughter to the most powerful lady, Xaya DarkEmpress. You won't be Sith much longer I can assure that."

The Jedi reached into his desk and pulled out a small blue covered book that had the Jedi symbol on the front of it.

"The Jedi Path."

Xamilla drew a confused look but she opened the book and read the first page.

"The Jedi Path is one of the most amazing discoveries made since the opening of the new Jedi Academy. It was found among the artifacts recently acquired from a Squib salvage scow near the ruins of Byss. While the Holo-crons we've recovered contain more specific detail, this heavily worn manual is a tangible echo of a time long lost."

Still not knowing why she had to read it, she looked up at the Jedi while he removed his hood to reveal a young human male that looked to be around twenty years old.

"Keep reading Sith filth."

Xamilla rolled her eyes and continued reading.

"Our historians estimate the text was set down a decade or more after the end of the New Sith Wars in 1000 BBY. Its authors, Jedi Masters of the age, used the changed political structure and newfound peace as an impetus to codify the role of the Jedi Order, and to establish traditions that endured for centuries."

Xamillia closed the book and placed it on the Jedi's desk.

"You will become Jedi even if I have to force you into it. Our recent "visitors" came here weeks ago and ran off before I could even talk to them, but you, you are destined to become Jedi. How would that make you feel, Sith?"

Xamilla shrugged and nodded.

"It would be a pleasure to train in the Jedi Academy."

The Jedi smiled and nodded while he took her into the training room where the other Jedi practiced most of their skills.



After about two weeks of training in the Jedi Academy, Xamilla arrived at her mothers office where she found Xaya sitting at her desk with two magnaguards standing beside her. Xamilla hid the "Jedi Path" book in her robe and took out the Book of Sith.

"Where have you been Xamilla?"

Nothing came out of her mouth while she opened the book and continued reading. Xaya grew angry at her while she stood up and forced the book out of her hands.

"Where Have You Been?!"

Xamilla stood and forced the two magnaguards out the window while she ignited her light-saber.

"After you tried to kill me with that damn holo-cron, I was sent to the medic room where I was being treated. Soon after I hopped onto a taxi that took me to an unknown Jedi Temple where I was trained in the Jedi Academy!"

Xaya's eyes widen while she stepped closer to Xamilla.

"You what?"

"You heard me, I have a choice mother, you don't get to control my whole life! Soon, I will have control of you and you will suffer just like I did when I was empress Sofia's apprentice!"

Xaya laughed, no one could control her, no one in any universe.

"You will never control me, I have more power than you, and I will always have more power than you ever will."

Xaya turned around and stared out the broken window while Xamilla yelled and threw a slash at Xaya's side cutting her deeply while she turned around and electrocuted her until Xamilla was half dead. She stopped while she stood there staring at Xamilla's body lying on the floor not moving a bit. She bent down near Xamilla while she whispered.

"You have no idea who you are messing with young lady. You will never be powerful, you will always be a little brat and you will die with the rest of the pit-full Jedi's."

Xaya stood up and walked out while a small tear fell off of Xamilla's face and landed on the floor.
