-----------------------------------------

"Fear. Fear can be a powerful ally," a young man drapped in a black robe started, "In this war, so many fear. So much lost hope," he continued saying to himself.

"'Hope'. What is hope? There is none. This galaxy is lost in fear and corruption. Any hope for restoring the peace that Palpatine broke, is gone." The young man started to walk down a hall. The area he was in had very dim lights, it was hard to make out anything. But what he did see through the halls were flags hanging from the ceiling with a sign on them; the Jedi symbol in black.

The Jedi then thought back to the Order: "The Jedi: A fading Light in the Dark. They have been fooled. All of them! Soon the Order will crumble and their Council will just be a tale told throughout time," the Jedi knew of what the future could bring. The Sith were powerful and their hold on the galaxy was tight. Soon all would be lost.

"The Prophecy told of One who could save us. That one is to be Anakin? He'll only destroy us," he thought as he continued walking. "The Chosen One is suppose to bring balance to the Force, and the Council believe this damn kid can do it, they don't know the secrets he's keeping from them."

"Anakin Skywalker," he started, "I met him a few times when I was in the Order. We got along, probably because we were alot alike. Reckless, impulsive, quick temper, difficult is what our Masters would say. Too bad Anakin's an idiot, he'll most likely get him and his Master killed," he laughed. "We had a few missions together, i'm surprised at how normal he was. He talked alot about Padme, how beautiful she was, how smart, how he loved her, and yet he knew the code. He knew he couldn't love and be married, he broke the code."

"The code," he began, "Why do we have it? What's the point? It's stupid. A Jedi shall not know anger, nor hatred, nor love. Love... something everyone feels. Love can heal, and destroy," he reminded himself. "Anakin loves Padme. He has a right to, I guess. Padme is beautiful, I once thought I loved her. Anakin and Obi-Wan were on a mission to Muunilinst, I was put in charage to protect her for the time being. I remember when I kissed her. And at that moment, I knew she was keeping something. I felt a surge through the Force. She was scared. She was married! I didn't even know! How could I not tell? She let me kiss her. There was something though, trust, she broke her trust to Anakin and revealed to me his secret. His marriage. I think about Anakin and why he married her. Was it really for love? I've seen how Anakin looks at her. It makes me sick to think he's using her."

"The Darkside," he thought as he got closer to a door. "Fear, anger, hatred, love, they all lead to this. I would know. Fear is my ally. Anger is what I feel towards the Order and the damned Galaxy. Hatred is how I feel towards Anakin. I hate him and what death he will bring. Love... I think about this. Who do I love? No one. There is no one out there who cares about me, who loves me. Being in the Order, I have kept myself from loving any girl I met. And it was hard. The order is damned to fall, to fail. Their code will soon mean nothing," he continued. "To survive you have to become that which you hate. The Darkside is the only way. The only survival. The last chance of hope. Each day I walk my path, my destiny, it is done. I've made my choice, I live in Darkness, forever in Darkness," he stopped.

He stood in front of a door, pushing a button, it opened. Inside Count Dooku stood. "Ah, Colin," Dooku greeted him. "It's good to see you."

"Cut the welcome stuff out, Dooku," Colin stated.

"I told you not to call me that," Dooku reminded him.

"Dooku or Tyranus, it doesn't matter. Here they know you as Tyranus, but I know
