"How is the boy?" Brim just gave him an empty stare before replying.
"He looks like he has not eaten in weeks, and its pretty obvious that his captors were extremely hostile to him. In all honesty, I'm surprised he has survived it all."
"He is strong in the force, no doubt it had aided him along." After hesitating a moment Vixious continued.
"Can you try and get a midichlorian count on him, I'm quite curious to know." Brim nodded.
"You planning on bringing him back with you aren't you?"
"It would do him a world of good, that kid has so much potential, he could do things that we could not even fathom. Unless we find his parents it would be a waste not to train him."
After doing a few wipes on the cuts on Jason, Brim stood up.
"I see." Giving him a short but sweet answer the hidden message of it was glaring back at Vixious.
"Whats that suppose to mean?" Showing his impatience towards his friend.
"Hes just a kid for forces sake and your acting like he will be the next great hero of our galaxy. It's not fair Vixious, not fair at all. That poor kid is missing his parents and now he has to worry about growing up and trying to be an axeman for the Sith."
Taking a step back Vixious was at slight shock by his reaction to it all, regained his composure as soon as he had lost it.
"If my suspicions are correct Alec, then the prophecy will be fulfilled. That is of course he is trained in the arts of the Sith. How do you think I feel watching the Jedi grow stronger by the hour as our council is sitting around like a beaten up little brother. This galaxy is falling into turmoil and they have done nothing to help matters. This child who is of a young tender age is already at one with the force with by far the strongest force signature I ever came across in my days. War, famine, deceit, it wont stand a chance with that child!"
Shocked that his first name was used he could tell his friend was pissed. He did not care, he knew he was right and to hell with him for throwing such a large responsibility on a small child.
"Hes just a child!" Screaming on top of his lungs
Projecting his vocal cords with the force Vixious let his rage through his body and pass right through him as he replied
"Just test his damn blood!"
Silence invoked the room as Alec poked his finger with a small blade and sucked his blood into round palm size machine.
After a small beep Alec's eyes had widen as he stared at the machine.
"I think my machine is broke, this can't be right."
"Why whats going on?" Vixious as still trying to let his anger flow through him.
"It reads at 22,500 per cell, I don't ever recall a test being that high."
Contemplating for a few moments Vixious stated to pace back and forth through the room. Darth Sidious had a count of 20,000 but that was after he injected a liquid form of a force crystal in his blood. This child was all natural, this was proof that he was the chosen one. After a few moments he finally had calmed down.
"Your right he is just a child, though his destiny may not be fully known yet I will at least give him a chance to decide." slightly opening the door he could tell Jason was frightened.
Jason had night black hair with red freckles littering his face. He was of about average height for his age and extremely bony and underweight because of his malnutrition that he had received.
"You were fighting because of me, I hate it when people fight." Taken back by the boy's observation Vixious raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you."
"I'm not scared, I know you don't mean to hurt me. I just hate it when people shout. You are hear to ask of my parents." Putting it more as a statement than a question.
"How does one so little know so much?"
"I can feel your emotions and hear your thoughts. Thats why the bad man wanted me."
Bending down Vixious was starting to get the information out of the boy a little easier than he had thought.
"Who is the bad man?" Curious about the whole situation, if he in fact had wanted him because of this could he perhaps wanted him as his apprentice? A Jedi perhaps, or maybe a Sith.
"He carries a bright sword, he sent me and mommy to the bad place. Mommy would not let me go, she disappeared before you came."
Shielding his emotions he let his heart sink. I'm going to enjoy killing the bastard that did this to him.
"Do you know who I am Jason?"
"No." he replied softly.
"I'm what people call a Sith, The Sith are a group of powerful and magical warriors that span across the galaxy. I want to help you, will you allow me to help you?"
"How?"
Smiling to himself Vixious took a deep breath and slowly placed his finger tips on Jason's temples.
"Close your eyes and relax."
Jason had extremely strong mental shields for a child that was not trained in the least bit. At first Vixious was almost overwhelmed but soon started to roam around his outer shields and gently started to poke around his memories. It did not take long to get what they both needed. In the back of his mind held a suppressed memory that seemed like out of shock had buried its self not to be uncovered. He was going to hate to unsuppressed them but hopefully the boy would understand he reasoned.
"Get out, you cant have him!" A tall slim female frame was shouting at full lung capacity at a man standing about 6 feet high. Hearing enough from the woman the man raised his hand and back slapped her.
"Obviously you do not know who I am! I command thousands of men who will do anything I ask of them, and twice as many droids. You, you actually think you can tell me no? Your son's destiny is to be my apprentice, his strength will do wonders for me when I not only take over this miserable excuse as a planet, but the galaxy as well.
"Keep dreaming slime!"
"Enough!!" Drawing out his yellow glazed lightsabre he swiftly cut off her head.
"Its a shame, a child of so much potential had to be born from such a whore." leaning down he continued the insult as he spitted down upon her.
Jason hiding in the closet could feel the bad man's presence just radiating him in darkness. Seeing what he had done to his mother he knew this man was completely evil. He will pay for what he did.
"Mom!!" Bursting out of the closet he came charging at the man but being a step to slow he was grabbed before he could hit him at waist level and thrown against the wall.
"Good, let your anger for me consume you. Let it empower you." Not understanding why this man was saying these things swallowed the lump in his throat and forced words to come out of his mouth.
"I hate you!!" With that the man walked up to the childed leaned up against the wall and gave him a hard kick right across the head knocking him out completely.
Jason just stared in shock. "Mom." he silently uttered as he broke down in tears.
Feeling the sadness exploding from this little child Vixious as well couldn't help but let a tear gently flow down from his cheek. Reaching out he pulled the child close to his chest as he sobbed violently.
After about an hour Jason had cried himself to sleep, trying really hard not to wake him he got up and pulled the covers over him.
"I promise you Jason, ill avenge your mothers death for you. Sleep tight and when morning comes only better days will await you." Kissing him on top of his forehead he silently walked out of the room and closed the door.
Alec could tell his friend was slightly distraught when he walked out of the room. Sensing his grief he stood up and showed some compassion.
"You okay?"
"Surin."
"What about him?"
"He's mine."
