(Darth Nihilus vs Rey Palpatine and Cale Lestin.)

Chapter thirteen:

The cruiser Ravager drifted through the empty space. On the bridge stood Darth Nihilus, the Lord of Hunger, his whole body encased in a black robe with black armor platings. Where his face should be, was a mask the shape of a strange skeleton. Suddenly, in less than half a second, Nihilus sensed something, a fertile source that can sustain his endless hunger to consume the Force. A source like no other planet and any form of life he had ever consumed.

An academy, located somewhere on the Malachor 5 somewhere beyond known space, beyond the Outer Rim, beyond even the Unknown Regions. He didn't know why the existence of the planet and it's inhabitants in the first place, but it just came in his head instantly. There was only one way to explain this logically, the Force had showed him a vision.

In his own language, Nihilus ordered the Ravager's crew to change course instantly and enter hyperspace....

Malachor 5, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy...

The Ravager dropped out of a month of travel in hyperspace over a gray- green planet.

"This planets atmosphere is completely breathable and the gravity is completely stable, my Lord." One of the bridge personnel reported.

Nihilus walked out without getting tired. He sensed an ultimate source of the Force somewhere, even greater than the entire planet itself. The Sith Lord froze, he sensed the Force radiating of from a life form. A sentient one, extremely powerful in a strange aspect of the Force.

Two figures seemed to appear out of thin air, in front of Nihilus. They had chocolate brown eyes, brown hair. One could tell that it was a human female and male of about nineteen and seventeen years of age.

"I am Rey Palpatine and this is my apprentice Cale Lestin." Rey began.

Darth Nihilus remained silent and stood still, his mask hiding all kinds of emotions.

"Who are you, and how dare you not answer my Master's question, Cale's voice got louder and louder and his face looked furious.

Pain giving words Rey Palpatine couldn't understand all that came off from Darth Nihilus. The Sith Lord, drew out his red bladed lightsaber as he stopped saying his language and moved in a form five lightsaber pose.

"Your ability to wield a red glowing blade is insignificant to our powers." Mocked Rey Palpatine.

At that very instant, Rey Palpatine raised her hand and shot out blue Force Lightning. Darth Nihilus sensed it was some kind of attack based on power similar to the dark side of the Force and merely raised his hand, instinctively forming up an invisible shield made purely of the Force. The blue Force Lightning bounced uselessly away. Darth Nihilus unleashed a barrage of dark side powers that manifested in a form of red colored lightning and launched them toward Rey Palpatine and Cale.

Rey Palpatine and Cale Lestin raised their hands in time. A shimmering barrier of visible energy appeared in front of the two Jedis, and Darth Nihilus's red lightning stopped as it hit the Tutanimis.

"You are skillful, Dark Lord, but your skills do not much ours." Cale Lestin said smiling.

Little did Cale know that the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus was not fighting at full potential, and was distracting Cale and Rey Palpatine. Darth Nihilus was also slowly draining the Force from Rey Palpatine and Cale Lestin throughout their little battle, rendering Rey and Cale weaker and weaker.

As the battle raged on, the three combatants tried several different tactics. Rey Palpatine and Cale Lestin sent blue Force Lightning towards Darth Nihilus, but the Sith Lord easily avoided with his incredible precognition via the Force and threw his red lightsaber through the air, guiding it with the Force as it went spinning towards Rey's torso. Rey Palpatine quickly apparate away as the lightsaber lodged itself into the ground behind where Rey had been standing mere seconds ago.

Rey Palpatine wasn't surprised. She used the Force to pull Darth Zannah's double bladed crimson red lightsaber away from the ground and into her hand. Rey Palpatine then turned around in a less than a second and Force Drained the Force out of the one who just threw the crimson red lightsaber at her less than a second ago, Darth Nihilus.

"I will not die." Was Darth Nihilus's last words as the Force, which gives life to all living things was completely drained from Darth Nihilus.

Yet Rey Palpatine sensed that Darth Nihilus would come back, though seven items that will keep his Force spirit fragment and restore him in each defeat. Rey Palpatine and Cale ignored that fact, and walked on... towards the second Death Star hand in hand.

Rey Palpatine and Cale, the two Jedis stood at the entrance of the second Death Star. Rey Palpatine had drained Darth Nihilus from all life forces and in hopes of ever returning on the Ravager. But Rey Palpatine did not care about that.

Rey Palpatine and Cale stood on the second Death Star and focused their emotions, peace, love, and harmony. Malachor 5 on the view screen was soon full of... all life... and the Force...
