Want to read and listen to a chill song? Star Wars The Old Republic - Monster or just search it up. Put it on repeat! Dope sounds!

Hiya! N7x here! The author of this story. Just want to put out a warning for this chapter. **** and a suggestive theme. I would say actually M for Mature or like 20+? But not completely sure if that's correct? Anyway just wanted to put this warning.

"I offer an alliance," Darth Imperius said, "We must work together, if we are to stop the Sith Empire. They are going to win this battle, they crushed your fleet and will crush the CIS one. We can join forces and leave this system now before they fire on this ship. Get Republic and even more Jedi aid. To alert them of the coming evil."

Obi-Wan replied, "I agree, Anakin what say you?" Anakin nodded understanding the gravity of the situation.

"Your men can rest we. I'll tell my men to take us off and away from here."

On a world conquered by the Sith Empire. A past flashback/memory.

The Sith Warrior slapped her across the cheek. "Get in line ****!" He hissed pushing her back. She tried to ask for water. She stumbled back in line into the line of other **** girls and women. Zara her friend was beside her helping her to her feet. "Are you okay?" Zara asked concerned, touching and examining her cheek.

Akame nodded, "I am fine, don't worry about me." The Sith Warrior snarled, motioning at Zara. "Get away from her!" He commanded, Zara obediently but slowly stood back. He looked down at Akame smirking, "Get up ****." He hissed.

Akame grimanced yesterday they beat her and spranged luckly only one of her ankles. She tried to stand, but pain shot up through her leg, "Aah!" She cried out in pain then thoughts and doubts crept into her mind. I am a worthless ****. I am too weak. I can't do it. "Stand up! If you don't stand you are worthless!" VRROOM! The Sith activated his lightsaber. The other women around Akame sitting stood up as well fearing for thier lives. A lady in her late 70's tried to stand but failed.

ZOOM! The old lady fell down dead in front of Akame. She screamed terrified. The Warrior walked over infront of her, "Last chance if you can't stand your friend dies!" He points his lightsaber at Zara. Zara's eyes go wide with fear.

Akame tries to stand again but fall back down in pain. The Warrior laughs, raising his weapon. "NO!" Akame screamed anger rising. She couldn't lose another friend, her first friend Maya appearing her mind in flashes. "NO!" The Warrior swung his blade the other women and girls near Zara moved away.

SNAP! The Sith Warrior fell down dead his head at a sickly angle. The women and girls fell silent at the sight. Then thier eyes fall on Akame who is now standing on her feet a hand stretched out in a **** **** or grip form looking like you crush another's throat.

Akame was hit by a wave of shock. She just took a life. She didn't want to be like all these cruel people here. Taking life, hurting others, abusing power, and stealing. She couldn't believe it. Then realized she used the ****. If one of them used the **** they get shipped to Korriban becoming an acolyte. She was shocked she didn't know she was **** sensitive.

A Sith lady came forward around the bend of a rocky hill, with two troopers. "What's going. . ." The Sith lady stopped examining the scene. "Grab her put her on the next ship to Korriban."

The soldiers marched over to her, Akame tried to turn back then run away, but they grabbed her, and dragged her back. "ZARA!" she screamed her friend's name in vain for help. Going to to Korriban academy was a **** sentence she would surely die unless she was strong.

"AKAME!" She heard Zara screamed after her then everything went to black when the Sith lady punched her in the face knocking her out.

Darth Imperius woke with a start she was afriad why did she dream tonight of Zara. That was years ago. She was probably dead and she wasn't in the correct time anyway. Just a nightmare from her tragic past. She got up off her bed, Harrow-class dreadnought beds were not the most comfortable, most of them just metal cut out section in the wall with a pillow and blanket.

"You betrayed me," she heard it a whisper in her head a familiar voice. "Maya!" She screamed crying out in pain. She grabbed the sides of her head hoping to steady it or somehow lessened the pain.

Flashes of the past hit her like a train. Guilt, pain, anxiety, and fear. "If you tell us which **** stole that water and blaster we won't have to use. . .**** and barbaric methods of ****. The Interrogator explained he then gripped and touched where no one should touch her. "What?! No!"

"You're a **** you have no rights here I can do anything to you but if you tell us the name of the **** and help us find the stolen resources I won't do you any more harm and make sure you are treated with lesser punishments."

Akame hesitated she remembered making a promise to Maya they would have each other's back and be at each other's sides at all times. But. . .the choice she made here she knew she would regret one way or another, and what Maya said to her earlier made her hurt.

"I. . ." She began but thought of their promise and Maya is her bestfriend. The Interrogator then touched her again. "I hate using this method of **** and information gathering but I will do it if you don't tell me."

"Maya." She said sobbing. She cried that night and for many more nights. She never saw Maya again and didn't have a friend for weeks and months. Until Zara came in a new shipment of slaves. Remembering that memory made her cry. She fell to her knees still holding the sides of her head. I betrayed her she thought. I am wicked underneath this facade of false honor, kindness, and love for others I try to live by. I am broken. I am human. . .with a natural connection to the darkness. Always tempted by anger. Always tempted to do or think dark things.

"We will be exiting slip space, t-minus 3 minutes," A clone spoke through the comms of the ship.

Akame wiped away her tears. She began trying to think of positive thoughts. Then she remembered a thing Zara told her, before she was taken to the academy, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."

"Exiting slipspace. T-minus 1 minute." The clone spoke again. Akame then took a few deep breathes, wiping away the last of her tears. Their ship exited slipspace, and then they were under attack.
