Chapter one (HPIFU)

==3960 BBY, Battle of Malachor V==
Harry hated warfare, he really did. But these Mandalorian Wars instigated by Emperor Vitiate had drawn his attention and concern.... Vitiate was a Sith Lord of godlike power and Harry was hopelessly outclassed, and that was even considering his race being mutants with the ability to grow their powers in the Force far better than any other races. With an enemy of superior power and a refusal to allow himself, a true immortal, to be imprisoned, tortured, or experimented upon, Harry decided to gain the power he needed to defeat this Sith Lord. Which was why he would use the deaths in the Battle of Malachor V to fuel his power with a newly invented ritual.
It was an unsavory albeit necessary evil. The power of thousands of Jedi along with his already immense power would allow him to match Vitiate and then allow the Republic and Jedi to finish off the Sith Empire while Harry made off with the Sith's knowledge and wealth. That, along with the Resurrection Stone, would allow Harry to gain a lot in the way of learning and advance his powers even further. Harry had thankfully perfected the ritual to remove the negatives like losing his sense of taste, touch, smell, color, emotion and feeling in general.
Meetra Surik ordered the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator and Harry prepared himself for the influx of power.
He wasn't disappointed. The massive power and life-force that the ritual endowed him with was surprising. Harry suddenly felt invincible and all-powerful, but quickly dispelled such dangerous thoughts and waited for the ritual to fully complete. Harry had easily gained over a millennia in life-force, but it was the power that Harry truly appreciated and if he wasn't as strong as Vitiate was after he destroyed Nathema now then he was certainly close. The power of thousands of Jedi was now his.
Harry teleported to where Revan was, seeing his and Malak's value as allies against the Sith, despite their willingness to sacrifice civilians even when they didn't have too.
"Congratulations, Jedi Knight Revan," Harry said in greeting. "I presume the now defeated Mandalore has informed you of who brought this about?"
"Yes, the Sith," Revan replied, only staying his lightsaber due to Harry appearing Grey rather than Dark. Revan was still ready to attack at a moments notice.
"I'm looking for allies to defeat Vitiate, the reigning Sith Emperor, someone who is over a thousand years old and thought to be more powerful than even myself... as such I'm recruiting allies and you and your Revanchists would be of great help." Harry began, but was cut off.
"No. We don't need your help." Revan replied dismissively.
Harry laughed at Revan's arrogance. "My, my, you are an arrogant little Dark Jedi. Defeating peons and lackeys really boosted your ego, didn't it boy? I've studied the Force for over four centuries! You're little more than a child who defeated a playground bully and thinks himself the greatest fighter there is! Pathetic! Enjoy dying or being enslaved!" Harry teleported away, needing to rethink his strategies.
Harry needed allies to safely fight off Vitiate and his servants. He had a droid army from the true Star Forge; a fake was created to deceive others, and Harry's army was numerous enough to kill trillions of Sith. He just needed Force using allies to help him fight his way to the Emperor. It seemed that Harry had no choice but to wait and gain strength. The Emperor and his Sith had to be defeated within a couple decades or the galaxy would bleed horribly over the next few centuries.
Harry was still in a desperate position though. He needed allies to destroy the Sith.
Unfortunately, it would take years now. Revan had rejected his best chance, and he and his friend Malak would soon boldly march to their own doom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Malachor V, 3957 BBY.==
Revan had been betrayed by his apprentice Malak and Malak had proven to be little more than a powerful brute with ideas above his station. The Jedi brainwashing Revan into little more than a slave disgusted him greatly. Harry decided to destroy Revan's former empire and salvage what he could from the ashes. Thus his presence at the Trayus Academy... or rather what used to be the Trayus Academy before he was done with it. Harry opted to use specialized battle droids to slaughter the Sith assassins due to their ability to train Force users of their power. Harry could have cut them off from the Force, but this was safer and Harry was able to gain power from the slain Sith.
"Lord Hadrian," a droid said. "There is an unknown Sith Lord who has continually rose from his death. Your presence is required." Harry merely nodded before teleporting to the Sith Lord.
It was a being who had used the Dark Side of the Force to crudely resurrect himself. He was a perversion, but a potentially useful one, Harry mused.
"So..." Harry drawled. "You're the one giving my droids so much trouble." Harry said, but he quickly restored his battle droids with magic. "Join me... I could use a Sith of your skill against my numerous enemies. I could even train you further. I have billions of enemies to kill and you could test yourself in ways that you never would have thought possible."
Sion was tempted. This man had a level of power that not even Sith Lords could attain. "I accept. Who are these enemies you speak of?"
"The so-called True Sith who seek to cause destruction for no real reason. Agents of chaos and destruction with no worthwhile goal. They've built up an empire and have made the mistake of crossing me. They and their stupidity must be destroyed!" Harry said, and Sion began contemplating just betraying him to the Sith later... which, unfortunately for him, Harry sensed. Sion quickly had his mind twisted to Harry's purposes.
"Arrogant little beast.... I'll let you meet these Sith and then I'll destroy you once they're all dead!" Harry spat angrily. "Sack the academy! Take everything of value and of use and then I'll destroy this academy!" Harry ordered.
The academy was replaced with a crater a mere four hours later and Harry left after confirming that everything of value had been taken.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Korriban, 3957 BBY.==
"Korriban... the birthplace of the Sith," Harry said as he returned to the planet where he received some of his immense knowledge and skill in the Dark Side of the Force. "This should be interesting. I'll need to hold onto Korriban until it can be sacked of all Sith knowledge and artifacts." The loot from Trayus Academy had already been stashed under a Fidelius Charm with other powerful wards and protections to better protect it.
The attack on Korriban was going well. Planetary defense were being hacked and turned to Harry's favor and all droids on Korriban were turned into spies and secret soldiers. Harry smirked, few would expect him to do this or believe mass-hacking on this scale was even possible, but Harry was patient and wanted to do this right. Hackable things like droids and automated defenses were free allies for his attack. Harry's ship landed in front of the Korriban Academy and Sion would be taking out lesser targets. Already the death was fueling Harry's powers and soon Harry would add some of the powers of the Sith here to his own.
Harry was greeted by several dozen Sith Guards, yet he was supremely unconcerned and merely ignited his two red crossguard lightsabers and continued forward. The guards attacked and Harry used his ritual enhanced speed to casually cut them down... all without drawing upon the Force. Harry added the power of the three survivors to his own.
Harry calmly entered the academy as his droids surrounded it and worked on containment. Simply put, no one in the academy was a match for Harry's physical abilities and they certainly weren't a match for his power in the Force. They realized that too and Harry gained Uthar Wynn; a reasonably powerful and skilled Sith Master, Lashowe; a weak Force-user that had potential, and the mad Jorak Uln as new recruits. Only Lashowe would be allowed to live.
The cleansing the Sith was ruthlessly carried out over the course of two days and droids began removing Sith knowledge, artifacts, and mapping locations for those areas they couldn't safely enter. Those areas thankfully weren't too great in number and Harry was able to complete the sacking of Korriban in under a week.
And then 'Darth' Malak arrived to re-take the planet with 'Darths' Bandon and Voren with him. Harry smirked when he felt their shock at the automated defenses attacking them, but Malak, Bandon, and Voren's ships were largely spared once their weapons, shields and hyper drives were dealt with and even given safe passage down to Harry's location. They thankfully took the bait, seeing it as a way to end the battle sooner, and had their ships land near the academy. While they were attempting to end the battle by killing Harry, Harry was shutting down their battle ships to minimalize the damage to his new resources. Harry needed more ships, soldiers, and resources to send against the Sith Empire and absorbing those of Malak's was good strategy.
Malak, Bandon, Voren and several hundred Sith, Sith Warriors and Marauders; basically whatever Malak could scrap together after his recent losses had all just landed. Harry quickly dominated the minds of the lesser Sith, but allowed Malak, Bandon, and Voren to remain free for now.
The three self-proclaimed Sith Lords exited their ships, realizing their position of weakness, but still hoping to kill Harry and re-take Korriban. Harry amused himself by forcing the three Sith wannabes bow to him, enraging them and causing them to struggle vainly in an attempt to escape his telekinetic hold.
"I'm glad that I'm finally being given the proper respect by my inferiors," Harry said, smirking at the enraged Sith.
"I can't believe you weaklings consider yourselves Sith, let alone Dark Lords of it. Now, I need allies against the Sith Emperor Vitiate and you will all aid me... willingly or be forced too." Harry sensed that they would require further humbling. "But, I see that you need to be humiliated further before you'll bow...." Harry released them from his hold and they wasted no time in attacking.
Or trying too. Voren and Bandon were quickly blasted away with lightning powerful enough to kill them; had they not protected themselves, but they were still left stunned. Malak was met in lightsaber combat and rapidly losing ground, becoming more enraged by Harry's mocking smile and unable to even counter or slow him. Malak was quickly disarmed and then rendered unconscious by Force lightning.
Then, and only then, did Harry begin twisting Malak's mind. Harry revealed that Vitiate had twisted his and Revan's minds and instilled a desire for revenge and a willingness to ally with Harry and Revan to do it. The Sith he was leading became less important and Harry made Malak willing to sacrifice them to defeat Vitiate. After having explored Malak's mind, Harry decided that Malak did at least deserve the Darth title.
Bandon and Voren's minds were easily dominated and both had the title Darth stripped from them and were each demoted to Sith Marauder and Sith Warrior respectively. The two needed humility and were unfit to bear the title Darth, despite what they may have thought.
Now Harry just needed Revan at his side and his Anti-Sith Dream Team would be complete. That required negotiation with the Republic's Supreme Chancellor and some promises, but Harry would have to suffer through it all to get Revan released into his custody. Harry sighed. He really disliked Jedi and their moronic dogma. Suppressing emotion bred sociopaths and everyone was essentially Dark or Sith in their eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Coruscant, 3956 BBY.==
It took a great many promises on both sides, but Harry, Malak, and a small yet elite personal guard had all arrived in Coruscant for negotiations and the signing of a treaty. Most would think Harry mad for entering the heart of Republic power with little aid, but Harry wasn't concerned.... He could drain the power of thousands of Jedi and/or several billion citizens if he was crossed and even then he would still win by destroying the Republic's leadership and sparing Revan. Truthfully, Harry would target only the Jedi to break the Republic's morale. The citizens were innocent and killing them would only create martyrs, which Harry was neither evil enough nor stupid enough to do.
"Thank you for coming Lord Hadrian," Tol Cressa said. The Supreme Chancellor would be representing the Galactic Republic and Vrook Lamar, Zez-Kai Ell, and Vandar Tokare would be representing the Jedi Order and serving as security. Harry also sensed Revan outside with a Jedi Knight.
"Thank you for agreeing to this. I'm eager to end this war that Revan and Malak stupidly started and focus on the true enemy..." Harry said. "Perhaps some backstory?" Harry suggested after receiving confused looks.
"Yes, please," Tol said.
"As you know, nearly four years ago the Battle of Malachor V occurred, but what you didn't know is that the Mandalore of that time confessed that he was manipulated into the war... by the Sith who survived the Great Hyperspace War and fled into hiding." The Jedi were visibly skeptical, but they remained silent. "I had been opposing them for centuries, trying to destroy them before they found my home planet and slew my descendants. To that end, I sought to recruit Revan and his Revanchists. I believed that mine and Revan's combined power and skill would allow us to kill the Sith Emperor; Vitiate, a being more powerful than even myself and with over a thousand years of experience and then destroy his empire forever."
"Revan arrogantly refused my alliance and went to confront Vitiate with Malak... he was dominated and the minds of both were twisted from that of Grey Jedi into that of Sith. They were ordered to act as the vanguard of Vitiate's Sith, but they being strong-willed partly broke free and confused Vitiate's orders with their own desires. Thus, Darth Revan and Darth Malak were born. I recently defeated Malak and wiped out the Academies on Malachor V and Korriban and took control of them."
"You wish for the Republic and Jedi to aid you?" Tol asked, but Vrook Lamar silently refused to aid someone he deemed untrustworthy. He could feel the darkness, however little it was, within Harry.
"Oh, no. The Jedi have proven to be useless and the Republic is too large to safely say that there are no spies. I simply wish for peace and to hold our current territory to draw war materiel from for twenty years or until my war against the Sith Empire is completed. After that, I wish to keep the Sith worlds and conduct experiments in removing Dark Side taint. I'm hopeful that those worlds would be extreme value to me someday if cleansed." Harry said. He wanted to experiment with ruling too, but left that unsaid.
"Supreme Chancellor, he could be a Sith," Vrook Lamar said.
"I'm not a Sith. I'm part of a sect that uses all aspects of the Force while striving for self-control, targeting emotions, lusts, desires, and materialism. We believe that these urges should be merely controlled and reduced, but we focus on our fatal flaws first and then work on the others. I'm no fan of the Jedi or the Sith. Both are extremes and opposites that perpetuate warfare where innocents are caught in the middle of their wars over meaningless dogma and old grudges." Harry replied, amusing the Supreme Chancellor.
"How dare y--" Vrook began angrily.
"I dare because its true. I've lived for centuries and all I've seen is two religions fighting over dogma and causing countless deaths. Sith are nothing more than Dark Jedi with egos. Now, can we get back to the matter at hand?" Harry asked the Supreme Chancellor. "I didn't come here to debate religion with fanatics."
"Yes, we can," Tol replied in amusement. "Your terms are all extremely reasonable and you only wish to ensure that you're able to effectively wage war against the Sith. The Jedi didn't like your idea to centralize Padawan training on Coruscant to remove the dangers of unsupervised students delving into forbidden knowledge or limiting Jedi to one Padawan at a time, but they eventually agreed. I appreciated your ideas to improve the Republic also and have created a committee to work on it. We've also halted discussion on the Anti-Sith bill, but it will likely be passed anyway despite it persecuting a religion and granting the Jedi a near monopoly on the Force."
"And Revan?" Harry asked. "I'm aware of the Jedi's immoral actions of removing his memories and brainwashing him, but I can easily undo the damage."
"They did what?!" Tol asked angrily.
"I know... Revan has more potential than any Jedi I've ever met and is already one of the most powerful Force-users. I sometimes wonder if they are just jealous of him. I'm kind of curious if he could butcher the entire Jedi Council..." Okay, Harry just said that last part to mess with the Jedi and it elicited some fear on their part and amused Malak.
"Anyway, if you'll have Jedi Knight Shan lead Revan in then I'll heal him up. I'll even train him further. I do have centuries of experience after all."
Tol smirked at the looks on the Jedi's faces and had Shan bring in Revan.
"Hello Revan," Harry said, to the confused amnesiac Revan. Harry sighed, used the Force to pull him to himself, and drew upon the Light Side of the Force to heal him. Harry saw the recognition in Revan's eyes. "Welcome back, Revan. How'd confronting the Emperor go?"
"Like you said it would. I should have went with you." Revan said, angry at himself.
"On the plus side you've reached more of your potential. I'll help you to access even more of it." Harry said before opening small portals and summoning Revan's mask and lightsabers to him. "Once we sign this treaty we can gather the forces to defeat the Sith Empire."
"The Jedi will be joining you," Vrook Lamar said, but was shocked when Harry laughed.
"No they won't. I won't have you useless idiots endangering billions of innocent lives and the war effort. And Jedi attacking will be linked back to the Republic and cause any retaliation to be direct at it." Tol Cressa nodded in agreement. "I've extensively prepared and the Jedi Order will ruin my strategies. Should I see a Jedi ship interfering... it will be destroyed. In non-Republic space mind you, but still. I have a chance to end the Sith threat and I won't risk decades of planning being undone by a bunch of useless idiots." Revan, Tol, and Malak snickered at that remark.
"The Jedi won't interfere," Tol said, to the Jedi's anger. "You have clearly invested a lot of time and effort into defeating this threat and I won't have the Republic or the Jedi be part of ruining it."
"If we decide otherwise?" Vrook Lamar asked angrily.
"The Jedi Order's reputation is in shreds.... I'll cut your funding and make it more difficult for you to recruit. I'll end the Republic's association with the Jedi Order and exile it. I'll expose every crime the Jedi Order has committed and make you just as reviled as the Sith. Return to your temple Jedi. You've proven too immature to be involved in serious matters and I'm tired of Jedi arrogance and incompetence, and I won't have you dragging the Republic into another war." Tol replied angrily.
That harshly worded threat was enough cow the Jedi. Once the treaty was signed, Harry departed with Revan, Malak, and his other followers and they would gather their forces and then travel to war with the Sith Empire.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry and Revan's war against the Sith Empire was off to a great start. They destroyed a large portion of the Imperial fleet at base and had crippled their production capacities with surgical strikes to foundries and had destroyed most military and naval academies, bases, and spacestations. Such actions were estimated to have shortened any potential war by ten years or more and now they could concentrate on Force-users, soldiers, any city infrastructure or remaining military infrastructure. Orbitally bombarding targets was a lot of fun and had allowed them to weaken the Sith Empire before sending valuable soldiers and droids against the Sith. They only had a fixed number from their respective Star Forges after all and resources had to be conserved. Revan had a fake that Harry had made centuries ago and Harry had the real thing, and with those Star Forges they were easily overwhelming the Sith with superior numbers and technology.
They had conquered all but the Dromund system in a matter of months of brutal warfare. Malak was forced to leave planets habitable and salvageable, but he was coming around and might be spared after the war.
Revan had been learning from Harry and was rapidly reaching his full potential and Harry had been sharing the power he was draining from Sith and was enhancing Revan's power to rival that of Vitiate's while Harry also ensured that he retained much greater power than Revan. Harry admired Revan and saw in him the potential to be his equal in power and perhaps eventually skill, but Harry had difficulties with trust and would ensure that Revan earned it. Thankfully, Revan was slowly doing so, but Harry would have to continue his quest for a new bestie after conquering Dromund Fels.
Fortunately, Darth Igrol was only moderately powerful and Harry had just been toying with him. So far Harry had let Igrol hit him with Force lightning ten times and Harry was just giving him an unimpressed look
"Are you fueling that with the power of love and friendship?" Harry asked boredly. "Honestly, I'm severely disappointed in the Sith. You're all unimpressive so far." Harry just disintegrated Igrol with a Force Wave and then continued onto the nearby Sith army. Harry stripped the Sith, Force-user and non-Force-user, of their power in the Force and life-force.
After looting the planet of Sith Artifacts and treasures and acquiring himself another Oubliette, Harry returned to his flagship to meet with his other allies.
"Report." Harry said, once he arrived.
"Only Dromund Kaas remains unconquered, Hadrian," Revan said, saving everyone a lot of time. "It has been blockaded and the technology to prevent Vitiate or others from escaping in spirit form was deployed. We are ready to invade at your command." Revan was deferring to Harry for a good reason... Harry had equal strategic ability, and greater restraint, experience, and power. Plus it was all Harry's research, advance planning, and resources that was allowing their victory. Revan surprisingly didn't mind at all.
"Once our non-droid forces are recovered as much is reasonable we should strike," Harry decided. "I never thought it would be ended this quickly, but that is a good thing, and I sense nothing amiss from the Sith to indicate that it is a trap for us. The Force seems to be with us and seems to support our actions... I say we serve its will and destroy this threat to the life." Harry's allies nodded in agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day....
As they entered Dromund Kaas's atmosphere with Harry calmly dispersing the lightning storms, they felt the power of the infamous Dread Masters trying to induce fear into their armies. Harry calmly teleported to the Dread Masters location and then began slaughtering the nearby guards in a blur of Force enhanced speed before going after the Dread Masters themselves.... Harry was aware of their attempts to effect him, but he was near immune to mental powers being used on him due to intense mental training.
When Harry arrived in the room with the Dread Masters, he wasted no time in blasting them with pure Light Side energies, ending with him easily destroying some of the greatest Sith to have ever lived in a single attack.
Once Harry was done, he joined back up with Revan and they began fighting their way to the Sith Emperor, both focused on ending the main threat while the others and Harry's droids dealt with the other lesser Sith and soldiers. They were killing thousands while feeding upon the death and the Force to keep their powers at peak to battle the real threats... like the Dark Council that was meeting them in battle outside the Imperial Citadel.
Neither Harry nor Revan were eager to give them any chances to betray or injure them... they both called upon the Light Side of the Force and struck down the entire council with their combined overwhelming power manifested as Force light.
All over Dromund Kaas, the Sith Empire was suffering loss after loss, and Harry's forces were taking control of useful locations and acquiring any Sith knowledge, artifacts, and any treasure.
They entered the citadel and began the massacre of the Imperial Guard, with Malak, Bandon, and Voren joining them, but with non-Force sensitive enemies, it was appreciated but unneeded. Still, they entered the throne room and Harry encountered Vitiate for the first time... the thing who would have eventually located his planet and then targeted it and the nearby space. Harry had to cease communication with his family because of this abomination and he didn't even know if they were alive anymore.
Vitiate tried twisting the minds of Revan and Malak once more, but failed and only angered them. The other Force-users were just as well protected, much to Vitiate's frustration. Vitiate had lost his entire empire and the Force had remained silent and was withholding its guidance and warnings.
Vitiate channeled his hatred and unleashed an explosion of electrical energy upon his enemies, but Revan, Harry, and Malak employed Tutaminis and sent it right to the shocked Emperor. Vitiate was so shocked that he barely teleported out of the way. Most couldn't even withstand Vitiate's power, let alone counter it, but Vitiate dismissed it and opted to focus his power on the weaker Force-users who were all draining his immense power. Voren, Bandon, Uthar Wynn, and Jorak Uln were all easily obliterated in a blast of Dark Side power before they could be defended by their stronger allies.
Harry, Revan, and Malak responded by blasting Vitiate through his throne with Force light and lightning, respectively while binding Vitiate with pure Light Side energy and then forcing him to his knees. Harry drew upon the powers of Revan, Malak, and their remaining allies and then stripped Vitiate of his strength in the Force, immortality, life-force, banished the spirits that Vitiate was feeding off of to their intended afterlife, and then consumed Vitiate's spirit, destroying him and allowing Harry to gain Vitiate's knowledge, skill, and experience for himself.
"That was surprisingly easy," Malak said in mild shock.
"I was plotting his demise for over two centuries and pure Light Side energies were the most effective weapon against him. That and power draining and Tutaminis were the best ways to survive and win." Harry replied. "What's next for you two?"
"I can't be a Sith any longer," Malak said, having partially broken free of Harry's mental alterations and seen the error of his ways. "I've gone too far already, but I also can't return to the Jedi."
"You two can clean up the rest of the mess you both made," Harry suggested. "I sense powers moving about to rebuild the Sith and your combined powers and experience will allow you to combat them." Revan and Malak gave each other a look, with Revan still distrusting him, but they eventually nodded in agreement.
"What about yourself?" Revan asked.
"I'll establish a government and defense force here while reducing the Dark Side taint on Dromund Kaas and begin trying to contact my family... hopefully they haven't been found by the Sith Empire. We all ceased communicating for that very reason." Harry replied, to which Revan nodded in understanding. Revan wasn't going to pry, none of them liked people who did that.
Revan, Malak, and their most loyal supporters soon departed for Republic space to combat the new Sith threat, but Harry would begin working on his new holdings. When Harry and Revan eventually met back up, they would have both succeeded at their set goals.
Soon enough, Darth Sion was brought before Harry and casually destroyed him with pure Light Side energies, with Harry finally fulfilling his promise to the untrustworthy Sion.
