What's next?

Stand with the Nightsisters

Having been disillusioned by the Jedi, you side with your friends and prepare to leave for Dathomir to warn the Nightsisters. Contacting Mother Talzin, you found out she wasn't surprised at all by your news, she had always known that the Jedi would come after her clan, once there was no other enemy to fight against. She had prepared though, she is planning to buy some time until she can perform the same ritual she had against Dooku and Sidious, but this time on the Jedi masters. All she requires is a few pieces of hair from each of them.

Lana: It won't be easy to get one from Master Windu...!

Talzin: We will find a different approach about him, just try to collect as much as you can. It is vital for our survival! Do bring those things before returning to us!

Drek: We should also check Palpatine's apartment to see if we could find anything useful there, maybe he had something hidden that the inspectors haven't found yet!

Talzin: He had always talked about some grand plan to destroy all the Jedi at once, but he never shared any details about it... If his words were true, you will have to find it as soon as you can!

You go straight to his apartment in the highest levels or Coruscant. It was still heavily guarded, but you have taken the form of the inspectors with **** projection and passed the guards. Once inside, the real inspectors noticed your deception, but before they could have called for the guards, they got **** mind tricked to leave and do not return until tomorrow. They followed your orders to the letter and promptly left. Now, you were free to look for anything useful to stop the Jedi. Drek went to slice his multiple times encrypted computer files while you and Ranvi were looking for anything **** related in any hidden spot.

Lana (after a long and fruitless search in the apartment): How ironic... We are at the home of the Sith lord we were trying to stop from destroying the Jedi for years, then find ourselves here doing the same...

Ranvi: This is different this time! We aren't doing it for power, we are doing it for true peace and balance in the ****! No single side should be fully eliminated in order to maintain their view of things!

Lana: I agree with you up to a certain point, but in my opinion it would be...

Drek (interrupting): Guys, you better come here and see this for yourselves...!

Ranvi: Found something?

He shows you the file he was just decrypting. It shows a command code, that would order every clone trooper to turn on their Jedi generals! It was called order 66 and it says Dooku had a deal with the Kaminoans to place chips in the heads of the clones to **** them to obey the command. You find a communicator in his desk, which according to Drek could be used to contact all clone commanders throughout the galaxy at any time in a last resort situation. After realizing what this meant, you stop the search and return to Dathomir with the newfound information. Talzin was most pleased about it, this way her clan might just survive. Yet, you are **** about truly activating such a command and have all the Jedi you know killed in the galaxy... You refuse to activate it before the Jedi are truly starting an invasion of the planet. Days pass without anything happening, during that time, the others convince you, that it would be best to reform the entire Jedi order into a new one, where the gray Jedi teachings would be embraced by all, not just a selected few. The idea itself seemed appealing, but if it cost the lives of all the current Jedi... You weren't really fond of it, the price was way too high for a reform...

One day, a capital ship comes out of orbit, from which a Jedi shuttle lands and Obi-Wan comes forward from it, since Master Yoda has agreed to proceed with their plan. He suspected he would find you here and asks you to help him convince the Nightsisters to cooperate and avoid and ****. You refuse him, and though he tries to negotiate with Talzin, she wouldn't agree to anything other than the status quo held in the previous centuries by the Jedi and the Nightsisters. As a last resort, he tries to convince you by pointing out how little chance you all have against a legion of clones led by Jedi masters, but you do not give in to his ultimatum. He sadly acknowledges the fact, that his diplomatic mission has failed, returns to his ship and waits for further commands from the council. As his shuttle flies away, you are finally convinced to activate order 66, or you will be overrun the hour they land with the invasion ****. Reluctantly, you open the communicator stolen from Palpatine's office and slowly say the words you have to, while all the clone commanders throughout the galaxy are listening to you.

Lana: Commanders... Execute order 66...

The clones listening to it were petrified at first, but a few seconds passed and they unanimously replied: "It will be done!". They transmitted your order down the command chain, each commander to his legion. Within a minute from your transmission, you could feel the unspeakable disturbance in the ****, as clones turned on their Jedi throughout the galaxy, killing the unsuspecting generals rather easily in most cases.

The passing of each powerful Jedi master could be felt clearly, like a vibroknife between your ribs. Out of them all, the most powerful feeling came from the destroyer above the planet, you could be certain, Obi-Wan was no more... With him, died almost all of the Jedi order. Each clone commander then reported back to you individually about their successful execution of the command. It was done, the Jedi were almost entirely destroyed... Except for those in the temple, where there were no clone troopers. Taking your ship back to Coruscant to see what has been done, you order the 501st legion to enter the Jedi temple and finish off the remaining Jedi, but strictly prohibit the **** of the younglings. They would be the next generation of gray Jedi, no harm could come to them!

When Commander Appo and Captain Rex reported back, that Operation Knightfall was successful, you went inside the temple, to witness what you have unleashed upon the galaxy. The bodies of dead Jedi covered everything, most of them were your acquaintances, leaving a deep mark in your memory forever. Yet, such pain only made you more powerful, it was the cost of a renewed Jedi order, which would follow no narrow minded teachings, only the **** itself. You find the younglings gathered into a room, where they were under guard, to prevent them from getting themselves into trouble. When you enter and see the fear and hatred in all their eyes, you see that only Talzin could help you now, by whipping the memory of the poor children about what had happened here. She obliges and via her magic, replaces the memories of the Jedi purge with memories of them being killed by the Separatists as a last resort to win the war.

Now, the order could begin a new chapter in its history, a chapter of mixing the light and the dark in its teachings and achieve true balance in the ****. Before the training of the younglings could begin, Drek made a list of the Jedi who were killed of found dead. Among some small ranking ones, Master Yoda and Anakin Skywalker were missing from the list. Anakin was on a day off on Naboo with Padmé, after which he was never to be heard of again, while Master Yoda hasn't returned from his meditation journey from an unknown planet. Without any leads to go on, you sent out searching parties to find them throughout the galaxy, but you had little luck for weeks. As one of the first acts of the new Jedi order, the Nightsisters were fully incorporated into the new gray order and invited to live in the temple itself, as they too were **** users who were using both aspects of it. Some accepted, some refused, preferring to remain on their homeworld instead. Those who came, practiced alongside the younglings to learn more of the **** and the lightsaber combat. You were chosen as the new grand master, with Ranvi, Drek and even Mother Talzin and Ventress becoming the masters of the council. After months have passed, you sensed a presence you haven't felt for a very long time... Master Yoda has returned from his self imposed exile to dethrone you from the top of the new Jedi order. He came alone, standing in front of the temple, waiting for you to come out. Despite your powers, you too knew, you would be no match for the old, but powerful master. You bring all the masters of your order with you to be able to compete with him.

Yoda: Destroyed the Jedi, you all have... Brought shame to this place, you did... Right your wrongs, I must.

Lana: The time to reform the order has coma master... I am sorry for what happened, but the ends justified the means! Just listen to the **** and see for yourself! We have achieved true balance, no narrow mindedness of either side! We are both Jedi and Sith here, combining the strengths of both!

Yoda: If so strong you are, why not fight me alone?

Talzin: Old master, you have had your time to dominate the galaxy's happenings, but you have failed to prevent the rise of the Sith! We will not make the same mistake! You cannot defeat us all!

Yoda (pulling his lightsaber from his belt): One final failure, I will have then... Do what I must, for the legacy of the true Jedi, I will!

You all activate your lightsabers, save for Talzin, who uses a magic filled vibroblade instead. An intense battle commences, Master Yoda may be old, but his skills with both the **** and his lightsaber are formidable, he is far more powerful than any of you alone, but together you are holding your own against him. When he **** pushes one of you away, an other of you attacks him, for each attack he makes he receives at least two. No matter how strong he is, he has long passed his youth, which he has already realized as you are slowly tiring him out with your relentless attacks from all directions. In a careless moment, his lightsaber is knocked out of his hands by you, leaving him essentially defenseless, but you can't bring yourself to strike him down. He looks in your eyes through your helmet, sits down as he is catching his breath and smiles faintly.

Yoda: Lana, powerful you have become... Not yet consumed by the dark side, your heart has become... Prevent the darkness from consuming the future Jedi, you must... Not all may be lost...

He closes his eyes, offering no sign of resistance, yet you still cannot bring yourself to kill the old master. As you are struggling, Talzin steps forward and thrusts her vibroblade through his chest, ending his life. Instead of bleeding though, he constantly becomes more and more transparent, until he finally disappears, leaving only his robe and lightsaber behind. He has finally become one with the ****, which only leaves Anakin Skywalker as the single **** user in the galaxy, who could be powerful enough to challenge the new Jedi order. But he won't make the same thing as Yoda did, he remains hidden from your eyes.

Decades pass, you aren't even looking for Anakin or Jedi survivors any longer, the Republic has been enjoying a prosperous peace, the Jedi has finally achieved balance in the ****, you have all that you could ever wanted. During your rebuilding of the order, Talzin shared with you a magical technique, that keeps your age constant, preventing the ageing of your body. Considering it a quite useful technique, all Jedi are thought to use it, that way, the number of members will rise way faster that before and not only be using the holocrons to show you where the next **** sensitive child will be born. As your highest priority has been rebuilding the Jedi from scratch, Talzin was concentrating on her own top priority, finding her son, Maul. She eventually succeeded in finding him via a talisman, and recovered what was left of him on Lotho Minor, a junkyard planet. He had essentially lost his mind, identity and some parts of his body, but he was still alive at that point. She brought her back to the Jedi temple, where she recovered his mind and he was given cybernetic legs to restore the ones cut off by Obi-Wan. At first, he wasn't quite keen on the idea of being a part of the new Jedi order and learn some ways of the light, but Talzin and Ventress eventually convinced him to do so, thus, adding a new master to the council, who was very well versed in the ways of the dark side and the teachings of the Sith.
