Acquired

After entering hyperspace I went to the engineering room and began working on my lightsaber as I no longer felt comfortable with it. Something about my form and saber felt wrong and I needed to change it before the next battle. A few hours later my saber felt better, it was now close to 2 feet long and was double bladed using my original kyber crystal from Ilum and two Mephite crystals from the Adegan system. With the size variation I had for my blades the fully activated saber was 12 feet in length. With my newly updated saber I went to spar with the troops and begin changing my style with Jar'Kai. I had made my style to be a powerful defense yet extremely adaptable. With the upgrades to my saber my form was nearly limitless. I quickly integrated Jar'Kai into my style and could effectively use it against multiple clones at a time. I trained with my form until we were about to exit hyperspace. Arriving in the system we could see Plo Koons entire fleet sitting dead as Anakins ship Twilight is flying through the debris field right towards us. I quickly order the ship turned around and have a jump to the main fleet rendezvous calculated. With use turned around I have the back shields put on full power as Anakin nearly crashes his ship into the landing bay and we jump as the ion energy wave clips the shields. After sparring with Anakin, PloKoon and our padawans and going over what we know of the Malevolence we exit hyperspace and join with Anakins fleet. Despite my suggestions Anakin still attacks with his Shafow Squadron Y-wings and they disable the ship allowing the medical station under attack to survive and the giving the fleet time to get there and attack. I order my ship to fire all weapons at the engines as to capture the ship and Grievous. Copying my ship Kenobi and Anakin do the same and the engines are steadily damaged. When Padmes ship appears and is taken hostage we stop firing and convene via hologram to create another plan of attack. Anakin quickly agrees to my boarding plan and we set up the squadrons needed to cover our attack upon the ship. As we launch our attack Grievous counters with turbolaser fire and his own vulture droids. The attack is chaotic but we eventually land in the enemy hanger and our ships cannons blast any droid in the room. As we move through the ship we are faced with heavy opposition but with my heavy troopers and the engineers and astromechs we easily avoid the worst counterattacks. We eventually make it to the bridge and Anakin and I debate how we will deal with Grievous. We decide that Anakin and our padawans will take the bridge and I will handle Grievous. We enter blasters firing as Anakinand I charge Grievous and viciously attack him. In the first exchange he takes a strike to the right leg and one to his left arm which severs the bottom right arm so he can only wield 3 sabers now. With the damage we dealt he begins to flee and I make chase as Anakin stays behind to assist in taking the bridge. As I hunt Grievous I'm met with many droids attempting to stop or hinder me as I chase. Despite his attempts to escape I catch him in a small hanger running to his ship. Pulling multiple thermal detonators from my bag I force throw them at his ship which nearly annihilates it and throws him back towards me. As he's flying I pull my saber and slice his left arm of completely and with a back swipe with the other blade he loses his damaged leg as well. Despite the damage I dealt he still stands back up on his leg as he gasps and wheezes drawing his blade and taking the best defensive stance he can. He and I both know he has no chance at survival but his instinct as a warrior pushes him to fight to his dying breath. I move forward and the ensuing fight isn't much as I completely overwhelm his strength and speed with him losing his last arm after only a few exchanges. With one last flash of my blade he is just a cybernetic torso and head lying on the floor. I can see the pain he's in so I quickly stab my blade into his chest and withdraw. I knew his death was as great loss for the separatists and that it would bring me a lot of unwanted attention. As we were both warriors I wanted to honor what he had been before he became a dog to Palpatine. Bending down over his head I removed his mask and used my saber on low power to weld it to my right shoulder plate. Pulling some incendiary bombs from my bag I activate them and toss them on his body as I walk back to the bridge. With grievous dead the ship was now ours and I enter the bridge with what I had gotten from grievous (the sabers he carried and his mask). We activated a holocall to Kenobi, Plo Koon, the council, and multiple senators to discuss what we would do with the ship. They decided that I would be put in charge of the ship to remodel it for clones to use and to form a new fleet around it. I knew this was all part of some plan Palpatine had made but I new I would have to go along with it. With an entire fleet there I easily had the ship in running condition and we jumped to Kuat to use its ship yards to rebuild the ship. When we arrived we found that they had been notified of our arrival and I was escorted to a design room to help in the remaking of the ships internals, externals and its equipment. The final design had a large axe like blade as the bow that would be used to cut other ships to pieces in battle. The large ion cannon was studied and scrapped with its power going to many turbo lasers and ion cannons. Next was giving the engines an upgrade as the ship was to slow and unmanuverable for my liking and the upgrades also gave it multiple hyperdrive backups. Close to the last remodel we made the ship much better for clones to operate and cut the ship into sections so damage would be minimal if the shields failed and the armor was destroyed. The last change we made was to the armor itself, I wanted this to be able to slug it out with multiple enemy fleets at a time and come out on top. We made the armor massive all around at 15 feet or 4.5 meters. My new flagship would also be able to hold 55,000 people both troops and crew as well as passengers. On top of all the space for people the storage was massive at 30,000 tons with huge ship bays. With my ship complete after multiple months I had new crew and an entire corp of clone troopers transferred to my ship. The clones were just multiple legions pulled from both sector armies to fill my ranks. As they didn't give me a full corp I didn't have a clone marshal commander so I put commander tact and others into the training for such positions. With everything complete all I had to do was stop at Corusant to pick up the new admiral for the fleet and set up a rendezvous for the forces that would form this new attack fleet. When I arrived at Corusant I could easily see the massive shadow my ship cast over the planet. Leaving the ship in orbit I met with the remaining council members on planet and we all went to a meeting with Palpatine and some senators. After the meeting I learned I would be here a couple more days to wait for some forces that would be joining the fleet before the rendezvous the frontlines. With some time off I figured I would solve a problem I had wanted to deal with for some time. Putting together a platoon of clones from my original troops we snuck under the Jedi temple and made our way down. I eventually began to feel the hate, anger, fear and other emotions of the dark side that the shrine palpatine had put down here emitted. As we got closer we encountered more and more creatures and monsters that got darker in the force the stronger or tougher they were. When we found the shrine I was already struggling to keep the darkness out of our minds but as soon as we all entered 7 of my men immediately mutated into monstrous abominations that my still alive troops fired upon. After the beasts fell we made our ways to the shrine and I was about to slice it to pieces when my saber simply bounced off. When my saber bounced of I got a bad feeling and ordered my men to stay on high alert. Slowly from the shadows came 5 dog like creatures, all five were massive with multiple rows of teeth and many horns and had what seemed to be 2 stingers that looked like wing extensions. I knew these creatures, I had read about them in a story where a Jedi strike team had encountered them on Korriban. As soon as they were visible I ordered my men to open fire and I used the force to throw multiple pieces of rubble at them. In the first barrage one Tuk'Ata fell as the others dashed into the shadows. I quickly pulled out multiple detonators and activated them tossing them into the darkness and ordering my men to fire into it as well to illuminate the enemy. When the explosions happened we could see everything for but an instant, but for the clones it was plenty of time for them to lock on to the creatures and gun them down. With the enemy defeated I could now deal with the shrine. Investigating the shrine revealed some sort of stasis field powered by the force, I had no idea how such a thing worked so I simply elected to overpower it. Calling upon all the power I could I channeled it into my most powerful ability. With a single push a light blue bolt of lightning lanced into the shrine as cracks appeared in thin air around it and the ground beneath began to shatter. From the point where the force judgement hit ash began to spread throughout the shrine as it was dusted like thanos's snap. When the entire shrine had fallen away I force pushed to reveal a large red kyber crystal. The crystal was a small cluster with a larger main crystal in the middle. The crystal was obviously corrupted and I would need to cleanse it before I did anything with it. With my goal complete we made our way up and my troops snuck back onto the ship as I made my way into the temple to find out how to remove the taint of the dark side from the crystal. As I walked to the archives I tried to avoid other Jedi in hopes of the not sensing the crystal but it was all in vain as my old master Mace Windu and Yoda were just exiting them. When they looked at me I new they had sensed it so I played it cool and approached them with a respectable smile. "Greetings master and grandmaster I was just looking for you as to get some advice and knowledge upon something I recently discovered." I said hoping they would overlook the small lie at the beginning. With that said we entered a small room inside the archive and I pulled out the crystal.
