The Dark Temple
BBY (July 31, 1991)
A yawn was heard in the highest chamber of the Kaas City Citadel on the planet Dromund Kaas. The yawn was pushed by a very handsome man with red skin lying in a bed with satin sheets.
This handsome man was about 190 cm tall, easily passing the majority of men, and his body was an Apollo. Indeed, the body of the fop was perfectly sculpted, detailing with perfection the pectoral, abdominal, biceps, triceps, quadriceps and other muscles with ridiculous names running through every nook and cranny of the extended body . There were also pronounced arras, even if they were dorsal, pectoral, or genital, for the fopter did not, of course, contain any clothing or undergarments. It was a real appeal to lust and debauchery, able to capsize the most fervent nuns and lead to the most believing sin of believers.
Some would not hesitate to see such a creature calling for lust, to compare it with the Devil, a succubus or an incubus. And yet, they would be so far from reality that they would not believe it, never suspecting that this bawdy creature was once a young human boy with pink skin and green mesmerizing eyes.
No, now she was a beautiful and sensual creature, with red-tinged orange eyes , disheveled red-brown hair , tentacle-like facial protuberances, and a beard-like appearance giving her a distinguished look.
Sith pureblood arched in the bed like a cat, thus stretching to wake up quietly. He then released his body completely to curl up on himself, not wishing to leave this delicious cocoon of heat in which he had wrapped himself.
"Exclamation: Master, it's time to get up for your daily training," heard the pureblood sith.
He rolled his eyes before putting one of the pillows on his head to ignore the annoying droid.
"Exclamation: Master, it's time to get up for your daily training," he heard again.
"HK, shut up, it's my birthday, and I want to enjoy it," the Sith ordered before starting to go back to sleep.
For a few minutes it was calm and the sith began to go back to sleep. It was then that he felt like a draft dashing no good.
"Hadrian, get up immediately before I get you out of bed myself!" He heard screaming behind him forcefully.
Harry then jumped forcefully before running quickly to the shower, under the amused gaze of Valkorion who had been happy to threaten his descendant.
"Note: The master is perfectly aware of what awaits him, yet he persists in his behaviour. Question: Why?" HK-55 then looked at Valkorion's ghost.
"I just think he likes to be scolded, it reminds him that he's wanted and not forgotten," the old emperor said as his eyes flickered angrily.
The droid just shook his head, perfectly understanding how it felt when you were forgotten. Two minutes later, Harry came back to the room like a fresh flower, wearing a long black robe under which was a Durasteel armor. He had a double-bladed lightsaber and another lightsaber on his belt, which had only one blade.
"I know that today is your birthday, my dear disciple, but it is also the day of your magical maturity awaiting your seventeenth birthday, and it is above all the day of your final test." Valkorion with a small smile.
Indeed, over time, the ghost softened, not hesitating to show a facade that he had never shown to anyone (if not perhaps Senya Tirall). Contrary to what one might think, Valkorion was perfectly capable of smiling and laughing in a jovial way, with no ulterior motives, but he always preferred to keep this facade for himself in order to avoid being weak in front of the rest. of the galaxy. Yet, with Harry, he had learned to be less suspicious, after all, except Harry (the droids did not count), no one could see him.
"Really, am I really ready?" Harry asked, his face radiant.
Valkorion just smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, my young disciple, it is time for you to become a true Sith Lord, and most importantly, a Zakelian prince. To do this, my apprentice, you will have to penetrate deep within the Black Temple to retrieve an object hidden from view. This object, my dear descendant, is nothing but a holocron in which all my knowledge is before the creation of Zakel, knowledge that you will be able to absorb in order to strengthen you. " explained Valkorion.
Harry's eyes widened, not expecting such an opportunity. If he actually managed to get his hands on this holocron, he could instantly learn thousands of years of knowledge without having to read thousands of books and tablets.
"But do not forget, Hadrian, that there are some very dangerous ghosts in this Temple, not to mention the creatures who have probably wandered there to nest here," warned Valkorion in a voice that was meant to be considerate.
"And should I go in alone, or would I be accompanied by my droid?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"You'll have to enter it alone." HK will wait for you at the Temple entrance in my company, "the ghost simply replied before disappearing.
Harry let out a sigh. This was going to be complicated, and without support, he would not be allowed to make any mistakes. He nodded before heading to the elevator and down, accompanied by HK.
Finally, he climbed into a luxury vehicle that had probably belonged to a Sith Lord and finally headed for the Black Temple. The closer he came to the old building, the more he felt the Force coming out of it in waves of power. When he finally landed in front of the entrance to the Black Temple, he held his breath, submerged by the colossal power emanating from the Temple.
"Good luck, my descendant," said Valkorion, who had just appeared behind Harry.
Harry nodded before entering the old Temple, a double lightsaber in his hand. When he looked at the walls, he saw that they were dusty but intact, describing various scenes with Sith texts. He climbed a staircase slowly, and seeing no danger, decided to continue his journey.
Finally, he arrived in a huge Hall filled with pillars with various doors leading probably to other rooms, smaller. He quickly remembered what he had learned about the temple and understood that he had to go straight ahead to finally reach a staircase descending into the depths of the temple. He advanced cautiously, suspicious, shivers running down his spine.
It was then that his eyes widened and he lit his lightsaber to parry another lightsaber on his side. When he turned to look at his attacker, he saw a body almost mummified with purple eyes. It was a body possessed by an avenging Sith spirit.
The vengeful Sith threw himself on him again and Harry stooped in time to avoid the blow before making a reel with his sword and cutting the vengeful Sith in half. The mummified body fell to the ground and his eyes went out. Harry heaved a sigh of relief, but unfortunately he was not out of trouble.
He then turned to see two other mummies running towards him, and raising his hand, he unleashed a torrent of lightning on the two possessed, who screamed before burning. When Harry had finished with the two mummies, he noticed that he was surrounded by a good twenty bodies, some with blasters, others with training swords or old laser sabers.
"Die, come down from Vitiate!" Cried one of the possessed before heading to Harry.
The blows came very quickly for Harry, who jumped and squirmed in all directions, showing flexibility and agility while decimating his enemies, using the least Force techniques possible to reserve himself. When he saw a dozen more mummies heading towards him, he began to get tired of it, and decided to use Magic (which his ancestor was dealing with a bastard version of the Force, while Harry found it quite different ) that Valkorion had taught him, having taken advantage of his ghostly state to store all possible knowledge, whether spells, potions, formulas or other invented by wizards. He aimed with his hand at the group of mummies before crying out.
" Feudeymon! "
The result was instantaneous, and an immense snake made entirely of fire went on the mummies before incinerating them as if nothing had happened. Once the threat was eliminated, and seeing no more mummies move towards him, he decided to interrupt the spell to remove the fire snake.
He heard applause. When he saw the source of these applause, he saw a ghost of a Sith Lord with a mask.
"It was fascinating, young sith, yes, very fascinating, and I must confess that you are showing a lot more talent than my own descendant," the ghost said with a laugh.
Harry frowned while detailing the ghost as much as possible. Still, he could not remember his name, and the ghost understood it. Despite his mask, Harry realized that the ghost rolled his eyes.
"I am Lord Kallig, whom you must surely know as Darth Nox's Ascendant ," the old ghost introduced himself.
Harry's eyes widened as he recognized the name of the ghost. According to his ancestor, Kallig had been one of the most promising Sith Lords, and with the right instruments, would surely have taken his place as Emperor.
"Delighted to know you, Lord Kallig, I must admit I'm surprised to meet a ghost not meant to kill me," Harry said, bowing slightly in respect.
The ghost seemed to appreciate this mark of respect before laughing cheerfully.
"Unlike most of the spirits here, I'm not mad, which explains my willingness to argue and not to fight, in any case, I've come to warn you, because I know perfectly well the reason from your presence, "Kallig said in a darker tone.
Harry narrowed his eyes.
"The ghost of my descendant, Dark Nox, has decided to take revenge on Vitiate, and to do that, he keeps what you've come looking for in order to get rid of you, I'd rather warn you, because it would be sad if you were 'Offspring while you could very well represent the future of the Sith, and so much more, for that I decided to help you,' the ghost revealed.
"And how are you going to help me, Lord Kallig?" Harry asked curiously.
"I'm perfectly aware of the training you followed with Vitiate, and I know that he recently taught you the enslavement ritual so you can seize the power of a spirit. 'offer my power in exchange for the right to travel with you to discover the galaxy freely,' explained Kallig.
Harry tilted his head slightly to the right, pensive. Kallig had to have a stronger reason than just explore the galaxy. Noticing his dismayed look, Kallig decided to explain himself.
"The truth is that I'm bored on this planet, and I want to explore the rest of the Universe.With you, I know it will be perfectly possible.Moreover, I want to see your evolution in order to attend take power and your ascent as the greatest Emperor ever to be born. ", then decided to reveal the ghost.
Harry noticed through strength some anxiety in Kallig's voice, as well as utter honesty , which greatly surprised him. He began to reflect on the good and bad sides and saw only good sides. He nodded.
"All right, Kallig, but at the slightest hoop, I'll tie you like a prisoner, understand?" Harry replied, defying the ghost.
The ghost just smirked while shaking his head, and Harry reached out to bind him. The power he received made him fall to the ground, his breath jerky as Kallig's spirit, which had momentarily disappeared, reappeared next to a gasping Harry.
"Excellent, young Sith Normally, when a Sith binds his first mind, he faints for at least an hour, which proves that you are very powerful in the Force." I can not wait to see you at work. ", Kallig commented before disappearing again in a frightening laugh.
Harry got up with difficulty, cursing the sadistic ghosts before plunging his hand into a purse at his belt. The purse being enchanted with a widening spell, he plunged his entire arm before recovering a potion of energy. Unlike lambda magic potions, it was more powerful as it had to use Dromund Kaas plants, plants being literally loaded with Dark Force. The Energy Potion was so much more powerful than this magical version, the Pimentine Potion, and it suited him well.
Once the potion had been swallowed, he felt his strength coming back to him immediately, and recovering his lightsaber, which had fallen to the ground as he fainted, he went back to the depths of the Temple. However, he did not make much progress because he heard a grunt that did not bode well. That's when he saw them.
A huge Tuk'ata next to a kind of giant leopard with a monstrous mouth stretched in a scary smile. He always forgot the names of these horrible creatures, retaining only the names of the parts useful for eating, making potions or making clothes. He began to smile with a sadistic smile.
"It's been a long time since I hope to find a Tuk'ata to see if I can bind to this beast, let's see if I'm as capable as my ancestors!" Harry exclaimed as he looked at the monster right in the eyes.
He concentrated, sending a mental peak to the beast to subdue it as the giant leopard ran toward him. Finally, the Tuk'ata's eyes changed slightly, becoming tinged with mauve, and the creature then threw herself on the giant leopard to begin a fight that resulted in the death of the leopard. Harry approached the Tuk'ata and decided to climb him.
"Come on guy, go on!", He ordered to the dark creature.
The Tuk'ata just gave a grunt before running at full speed to the other end of the temple while Harry enjoyed the wind on his face. When the Tuk'ata reached the stairs, Harry noticed that he was too big to pass, so he went downstairs. He then sent a glance at the Tuk'ata.
"You stay there, and if you see an intruder, you put it in pieces!" Ordered the young sith while the animal nodded before going on the lookout.
Harry decided to begin his long journey in the depths of the Temple. After a while, he arrived in a room plunged into the dark, but for him it was not a problem, his vision of Sith to the pureblood being adapted for this kind of situations, besides the Force and the Magic.
He walked slowly down the hallway to a huge double door, noticing a few droids around him, all on standby. He could feel the problem from afar, and was not surprised when he heard the droids wake up and start attacking him. If predictable ...
He contented himself with cutting them all into pieces, not hesitating to crush some of them with the Force before continuing on his way as if nothing had happened, leaving about twenty heaps of smoking scrap behind him. Finally, he arrived at a large door, and when he pushed it, it did not move.
He frowned as he saw the immovable door in front of him. He tried to push her with the Force, but she did not move. He pointed his finger at the door.
" Depulso! " He shouted.
The spell touched the door, which began to tremble, but it still remained closed. Harry frowned, starting to get upset. He concentrated then, trying to calm down to find the solution to this thorny problem. He began to sneer. The solution was so simple, so laughable that it would shame Valkorion. He simply unleashed a flurry of lightning on the door, which then boomed before opening.
"It was so simple ..." Harry noticed aloud as he heard Kallig chuckle in his head.
He rolled his eyes before continuing his advance. When he entered the room, he noticed a kind of throne located in the center with an altar behind which rested two objects: A holocron and a kind of key. He stepped forward cautiously, remembering Kallig's warning about his descendant.When he approached the throne, he felt like a cry of alarm from the Force, and deciding to believe in the Force, made a back flip, just avoiding a huge rock.
"I was waiting for you, offspring of Valkorion!" He heard then reasoning throughout the room.
He turned his head and saw him then, a ghostly-looking man in a big red burgundy dress and holding a lightsaber. It was the famous Darth Nox.
"I see my ancestor was right, you're actually chained like a dog in this place, Nox," Harry scoffed with a mocking grin.
"If you wanted to annoy me, then you did it, shit, but I assure you, you're going to get the punishment you deserve for your audacity, because I'm Darth Nox, the greatest Dark Lord of all the Siths, the Emperor from the Galaxy that has defeated the great Valkorion, Vitiate or Tenebrae, no matter what name it is, and I will crush you and take your body out of this place and spread a new era of terror worthy of the Sith! " exclaimed Darth Nox before unleashing a torrent of lightning at Harry.
Seeing danger, Harry created a Force shield in front of him to absorb lightning. Noticing the inefficiency of his attack, Darth Nox decided to send a shock wave shaking the foundations of the Temple. Harry's eyes widened, not expecting Darth Nox to retain so much power even after death.He decided to throw a kind of tornado towards Nox, blinding him then.
"You're going to pay me, you bad!" Exclaimed the ghost while sneering madly.
He then began to destroy a pillar, sending it straight in the direction he remembered seeing Harry. Fortunately, the young sith had already taken refuge elsewhere.
'You should either enslave him or force him to rest,' he heard in his head.
'Kallig, do you think it would be a good idea to enslave him? He's damn powerful, 'Harry replied mentally while avoiding another piece of pillar, Nox having spotted it.
'You have a lot of capacity to enslave him, do not worry. He may be powerful, but it is only because of the Dark Side that is strongly present in the Temple that is a focal point, "Kallig replied.
Harry nodded, understanding what to do. He stood up, noting that the ghost was out of ammo, and took advantage of it to quickly send a wave of darkness, one of Valkorion's favorite techniques. The result was instantaneous and the ghost was left on the ground. When he tried to get up, Harry took the opportunity to begin the enslavement ritual.
"How dare you enslave me, I have enslaved more spirits than you, I will not let myself be done!" Shouted the ghost of Darth Nox.
"I do not give you the choice, Nox, you should have submitted to my ancestor like the dog you are, and now you're going to do it with me!" Harry yelled as his eyes went red.
Darth Nox just screamed as he tried to free himself from Harry's Forbidden Forces, but he could not do anything about it, and after three minutes he was completely bonded to Harry, who took the opportunity to put a muzzle on him. . The last thing he wanted was to hear Nox's complaints or threats.
He then collapsed to the ground, not expecting to expend so much energy to capture Nox.
"Well done!" He heard in his mind.
"Thank you," Harry said simply before slowly getting up.
He then advanced to the altar on which the two objects stood. He took the key, not knowing its usefulness, and drew the holocron between his hands.
"Should I use it now or wait?" He asked aloud.
He had no answer. Presumably, it was his choice and therefore he had to decide how to proceed. He decided to use it, anyway, he had enough potions on him in case of problems, and also the Kolto. He went to the throne to sit on it, and finally he lit the holocron. Unlike a holocron lambda, there was no holographic image, just a kind of scanner that quickly ran through Harry's face.
It was then that a ray came out of the holocron to go straight to Harry's forehead, making him scream in pain. The session lasted a good half hour, and we heard her cries throughout the Black Temple, while Valkorion who had remained in front of the Temple began to smile. It was obvious that his descendant had succeeded, and that too eagerly, had thrown himself on the holocron.
Finally, the beam of energy stopped and Harry began to blow fiercely, his heart drumming at full speed and the breath jerky. He got up before putting the holocron in his bag while taking the opportunity to get a potion for headaches and a potion of energy. He needed it.
He opened his eyes wide. He had just learned so much that it was amazing. He now knew everything about his ancestor and his plans. He realized then that he should at some point go on Medriaas because there were several safes in which rest an interesting number of useful artifacts. He saw in his mind the ritual used to absorb all life on the planet, and saw the Great War between the Jedi and the Sith, the death of Marka Ragnos and all the other legendary Sith Lords. He then saw the construction of Kaas City and the rituals led by his ancestor in the Black Temple to torture the ghosts to extract all information possible. He frowned at an interesting memory.
His eyes widened when he realized there was something very interesting for him in this Temple. He turned around and threw a powerful flash of Force on the Altar, making him tremble. The result was instantaneous and the altar began to shake before rising, revealing a kind of tube in which floated two bodies.
It was not just any body floating in it. There was the body of a Blue Force devouring monster, a Dashade and the body of a pureblood Sith. He recognized the body of the Sith, it was the first body of his ancestor, the body of Tenebrae. He pushed a button on the side of the tube to release the two bodies that fell to the floor in a thud.
He then cast a lightning spell on the monster's body to wake him up, and the result was instantaneous. The monster grunted and opened his two big yellow eyes before getting up slowly, still weakened. He looked around and seeing Harry roll up his lips before grunting like a predator.
"I advise you to stop your scene immediately before I crush you like the pathetic being you are, Vorak Thual, I am Hadrian, descendant of Tenebrae, and I am now your new master." Harry exclaimed while defying the monster with his gaze, letting out a few flashes of Force with his fingertips to impress him.
Vorak watched Harry from head to toe before nodding. Harry smiled before creating the enslavement bond between them, binding them forever. Once the link was in place, Vorak began to recover more quickly from his forces. He then went to a rack located in the room to recover a massive Vibroblade, surely his weapon.
"What year are we, master?" Asked Vorak.
"We are in the year 3653 after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is about 3853 years since my ancestor put you in stasis, and many things have changed. The Sith Empire is no more, The Galactic Republic dominates, the Jedi are weak and corruption reigns everywhere, "Harry explained quickly.
He then decided to summarize everything he knew since the stasis of Vorak, who widened his eyes as he learned of the fall of his master he loved so much (despite the fact that he destroyed his original planet).
"What should we do with his body, master?" Vorak asked, pointing to Tenebrae's body.
Harry looked at the body. He remembered then thanks to the memory of Vitiate (whom he preferred to separate from Valkorion to avoid a headache) that his body would allow him to come back to life thanks to a form of advanced possession and the fact that it is his original body.
"Take it, we'll leave this place," Harry said as he started the way home.
On the way back, he recovered his Tuk'ata who followed him like a perfectly obedient dog until the exit of the Temple. When they finally left the Temple, they were greeted by the ghost of Valkorion and HK-55.
"Exclamation: Master, what a pleasure to see you whole and alive. Congratulations: Congratulations on having passed your test, Master. Query: Who are these meat bags with you, master? Do I have to carry out their extermination?" HK-55 said while arming his sniper rifle.
Harry chuckled as Vorak vexed at the mention of 'meat bag'.
"I am the great Vorak Thual, world devourer, annihilator of nations, former servant of the great Darth Vitiate, Emperor of the Siths and now servant of ...", then Vorak, looking at Hadrian to know how to introduce it.
"Servant of Zakel's Prince Hadrian, also known as Darth Merlinus," exclaimed Valkorion's ghost, sending Harry a proud look.
Vorak Thual nodded before widening his eyes as he saw the ghost of his old master, recognizing him despite his different body.
"Master ..." Vorak exclaimed, bowing to Valkorion.
"Do not bow my old friend, I am no longer your master, and now you will be the servant of my descendant and heir, Hadrian," said Valkorion.
Vorak nodded before getting up to stand next to HK-55, who had lowered his gun as he saw Harry's gaze. Valkorion approached Harry.
"I see that you have passed your test brilliantly, I am very proud of you, my descendant," congratulated Valkorion.
Harry just smiled looking at his ancestor, blushing slightly.
"I also noticed that you could not stop yourself from throwing yourself on the holocron, but do not forget, you may have known it but not the experience," Valkorion said, admonishing Harry. .
The latter lowered his head with a silly smile while rubbing his neck. He could have thought a little more before absorbing so much knowledge. Valkorion then turned his attention to his old body.
"I see you have recovered my old body, unfortunately I can not take control of it, this body is now too weak for me, it could explode, or it could only last a year at most." so Valkorion looked disappointed.
"We could make genetic modifications to strengthen it, it would take time, but at least you could come back to life, grandfather," Harry said, having used to call Valkorion "big" -father 'with time.
Valkorion pretended to think before nodding. He had not thought about it, thinking that he should be content to be a spirit, but taking back a mortal envelope would allow him to accomplish so much, and he was immortal now, anyway, as long as Harry continued to live . He had to do everything in his power to ensure the survival of his descendant, and therefore of himself.
Harry then ordered Vorak to embark the body as he climbed into his luxury corvette. Once HK-55 and Vorak in the vehicle, he headed directly to the Citadel of Kaas City. Now knowing the place as the bottom of his pocket, he immediately went to one of the laboratories located in the depths of the Citadel followed by his servants.
He then entered a laboratory which was perfectly fed. He pointed to a bowl of Kolto in perfect condition.
"Put the body in it," he ordered Vorak to execute without waiting.
Once inside, he went to the computer linked to the Kolto tank. He then initiated a program of regeneration of the body.
"It will be enough to restore it and keep it alive, but we do not have enough technology to make the necessary changes," Harry said, glaring at the computer, as if it was all the machine's fault. who had not asked anyone for anything.
"There are various technologies for making such genetic modifications, but they are not on this planet." I remember a Rakata technology for resequencing the genome located on Belsavis, but the place was totally destroyed by Nox for to prevent someone else from benefiting from it, his body was too weak to bind to many minds, unlike you, and he needed that technology, "said Valkorion, appearing next to Harry .
Harry began to think. From what little he had learned, the current Galactic Republic had not evolved, or even regressed from before due to political problems and a lack of war and therefore, willingness to progress. He let out a sigh of annoyance under the amused look of Valkorion. That's when an idea came to mind.
"If we can not change it genetically, then we have to use something else, and I know exactly what," Harry exclaimed with a demented smile.
Valkorion frowned, intrigued by the idea of his descendant. He delicately arched an eyebrow at Harry, who decided to light his ancestor's lantern.
"If technology can not help us, then we use magic, and for that, nothing better than alchemy, and there is a certain object that can create and strengthen a body like never before. ", Harry said then.
Valkorion's eyes widened.
"Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, what a great idea, what a pity we did not have the opportunity to observe the creative process, it would have been very useful for us," Valkorion said.
"In this case, it's time for me to return to Earth, although I do not plan to visit my parents, did you tell me Flamel kept his Philosopher's Stone in the Gringotts Goblin Bank?" Harry while Valkorion nodded.
"In that case, we're going to have to be the first to rob this bank, and I'm going to be happy to empty the chest 713 of those little monsters, anyway, I've never trusted them," Said Harry with a big smile.
Valkorion burst out laughing as HK-55 and Vorak rubbed their hands, looking forward to finally sowing terror and desolation.
"But before, you have to put the city back in order, and thanks to the key that you had hidden in the Black Temple, I will finally be able to reactivate the Kaas City geothermal generator." Harry said before rushing to the elevator from the Citadel to the depths of the Citadel where the Kaas City geothermal generator was located.
When he arrived in the room, he carefully placed the key in the slot of the generator console, and after a few seconds, the generator ignited and started to whirr. Harry rushed out of the Citadel and checked to see if everything was working perfectly. What was his joy when he saw the buildings of Kaas City light up, the spotlights turn on and the neon signs shine.
Not wasting time, he climbed into his corvette to head for the city's droid production plant, which he set off. When finally the first droid was made, he gave his orders.
"I want the town to be completely cleared and droid production to reach a total of one million in order to make repairs, recycle ship carcasses and everything that's destroyed to finally rebuild the buildings." the planetary shield and the defense stations, I want Dromund Kaas to become impenetrable. As long as we do not have any personnel, I want safety droid patrols to secure the places and dislodge creatures that have nothing to do Do not forget to restart the mines to get more raw material. "
The protocol droid merely nodded before monitoring the production of droids. Finally, Harry returned to the Citadel where Vorak, HK-55 and Valkorion were waiting for him. When he looked back at the city, he saw droids begin to get busy everywhere.
"Soon, very soon, we'll rebuild our Empire, more beautiful, more powerful, and bigger than ever," Harry said as Valkorion smirked at his back, satisfied.
