A/N: Here Again, You're Normal Sheevite with another chapter of The Silver Eye Force User. Glad to all of you, who are now reading this.
BrutusPrimus: And in comes Kota. Nice work, piecing the story together.
A: Indeed, Kota would be the one who would find Rubrum and use him to help the Rebel Alliance, but that wouldn't be too easy of a task.
Spiral-Voltron-Zero0Q1: This is gonna be good!
A: Yes it will be good indeed.
I have already watched the first chapter of RWBY volume 6. And I can say that it is good, not bad, although there are some things that I find NO MAKE SENSE AT ALL. I wouldn't give anything more about it, cuz spoilers. And no one loves it. Now to the Story!
Disclaimer: RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth, Star Wars is owned by Disney, and I own the plot and the OCs.
Amphitheater
A few days had passed since Rubrum made up with team RWBY and was let back into their room. Now he found himself observing a match between Pyrrha and team CRDL. While he had a while ago made an observation that team CRDL's teamwork had been… lacking, to say the least, he had hoped that they would have improved on that matter by now, in which they clearly didn't. If he was in their position, he would have use weapons that can't be manipulated by Polarity and of course team attacks and that could bring out maximum efficiency in defeating an enemy whether through sheer speed or physical might. During the entire fight, it is obvious, that Pyrrha is clearly superior to the four of them in all aspects of combat. This is one reason to clearly dislike team CRDL.
"Lucky shot." Cardin groaned before collapsing as Professor Goodwitch announced the end of the match, congratulating Pyrrha and reassuring her that she would qualify for the tournament.
'Lucky shot? you sure about, if you kept using that as a pathetic excuse to have your pride up and not have it blown away and an incapability to fix your mistakes, you would surely die early.' He shook his head and look at them with disdain.
"All right, now I know that is a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more match. Any volunteers?" The professor seemed to log something on her scroll before looking up at the seats for a volunteer. "Miss Belladonna?" Hearing her name called out Blake quickly closed the book she was reading. "You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you-"
For the few past days, she had been avoiding participating in several activities, including rest. As a result, dark rings had formed under her eyes, a result of lack of rest for dozens of hours.
"I'll do it." A hand rose from the seat behind her as a somewhat familiar voice cut the professor off.
She turned towards the person in question, pushing up her glasses with her left hand. "Mercury is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent." She started looking at her scroll.
"Actually, I wanna fight… her." The volunteer, who, Rubrum now recognized as one of Cinder's teammates, took a few moments to ponder before pointing at Pyrrha.
"Me?" Pyrrha was taken by surprise, recoiling in shock.
"I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished a match." Professor Goodwitch quickly pointed out. "I recommend you choose another partner."
"No! It's fine." Pyrrha quickly interjected. "I would be happy to oblige." She turned towards the challenger and smiled happily while giving a small bow.
The person was an adolescent male with messy gray hair, gray eyes, and pale skin. He is currently wearing a black and gray partial zip jacket with rerebraces, vambraces, and black/gray fingerless gloves protecting both his arms and hands. He is also wearing black pants with a single gray stripe going down the leg with a pair of equally colored shoes and a modified gray and black stash hanging from his hip.
The boy with silver eyes had sensed him in the Force, with the upper abdomen and the lower being flowed with the Force, meanwhile, his entire legs feel a bit weird it had a similar presence when weapons are being covered in Aura, could it be prosthetics being weaponized? That's an interesting choice of weapon, he thought.
Rubrum knowing Pyrrha is one of strongest first-year huntress-in-training besides Rubrum, could beat him, but such a conclusion is made because he is ignorant of Mercury's combative prowess.
Curiously, it seemed this Mercury fought similarly to Yang, using boots as his weapons. Most likely they also had a gun of some sort built into them. His stance was one rather typical of martial-arts that focused on kicks, with his hands held before his upper body to allow blocking, while one foot was put before the other to facilitate kicking with the other.
They stood there observing each other for several seconds before Mercury charged, prompting Pyrrha to move as well. Mercury stopped before reaching her, plating one foot firmly while switching his momentum into a fierce kick, which was promptly blocked by Pyrrha's shield before being followed up by a low sweep with her sword, sweeping her opponent off his feet.
Mercury fell flat on his back, but a quick spin brought him back on his feet before a few backflips created some distance between them. Pyrrha charged in, and what followed was a series of blocks and parried as the two dueled before a brutal shield bash from Pyrrha sent Mercury flying.
Skidding backward, sparks flying from where his boots dragged over the floor, Mercury managed to stay upright and halt his backward momentum. Then he suddenly relaxed his stance and seemed to consider things before giving an appreciative hum.
"Hey, your friend's doing pretty good." his sister's voice reached Rubrum's ears from somewhere behind him.
Then Mercury resumed his assault with a spinning kick, pushing Pyrrha back from the sheer force behind it before he crouched low and started a series of spinning high-kicks, forcing Pyrrha to roll away from him.
Landing in a crouch, shield held high, Pyrrha reversed the grip on Miló, currently in its sword form. Mercury rushed after her, jumping up and launching a barrage of kicks on her shield. Pyrrha deflected him and threw Miló, blocking the follow-up kick with her bare arm and grabbing her weapon.
Mercury quickly launched another series of kicks, forcing Pyrrha on the defensive before managing to knock Miló out of her hand. Giving her a smug look, Mercury lashed out with another kick. Pyrrha bent slightly backward as she raised her shield slightly and held out her hand towards Mercury's boot.
That was when something odd happened, the kick that should have been accurate seemed to be slightly deflected, shifting its path ever so slightly, causing it to miss entirely, although to most of the audience it looked as if Mercury simply missed his kick, meanwhile Rubrum ever being perceptive with his senses interpret the action differently. This gives Rubrum a disappointment, this is showing her secret to most of her victories, it is her semblance that somehow make her virtually untouchable and invincible to most combatants, yet if this ability is the one thing that makes her stomping most of her opponents, then why she didn't use it to grab team CRDL and thrown them aside, why she didn't use it to grab Mercury's legs, grab him and punch him.
An easy answer, honor. It is the idea of honor that stops using her semblance to its full potential and of course being a huntsman is to be honorable, but what if it is honor that let kills you, what if honor had let other dies. This is why Rubrum dislike honor and also a reason why he loved the quote "Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead" which came from one of the Sith Lords that he admired the most, Darth Revan. though it could be another reason, there are people who don't want to see a fight ended way too quickly.
Rubrum was seemed correct on his thesis that his legs could be prosthetic, allowing it to be manipulated by Polarity. Then he jumped up, put both feet against Pyrrha's shield and fired the gun built into his boots, sending him flying away.
He landed a bit away and rose calmly as Pyrrha charged at him, and then: "I forfeit." He surrendered.
Pyrrha's expression became one of shock as she halted her charge, passing Mercury by before stumbling to a halt.
"You… don't even want to try?" Pyrrha's voice was filled with incredulousness.
"What's the point? You're a world-renowned fighter, we're obviously leagues apart." Mercury shrugged exaggeratedly.
Rubrum was certain he was lying, to begin with, he had known from the very start about Pyrrha's skill and reputation. Then why would he challenge her? It had seemed to Rubrum that he had been testing her, trying to figure out what her strengths and weaknesses were. Most likely he found what he was looking for and, to avoid showing too much of his combative prowess, forfeited.
And he remembered about Jaune's training session, most of the students around him are already standing up and are leaving, with Jaune had a face of anxiety, which he doesn't need the Force to clearly see that. He could see that Jaune was already leaving the room. Rubrum followed him.
Jaune was a bit nervous right now, he had remembered the training session being enforced upon him due to his lack of good combative skills. He thinks of a way to hide from the twin brother of Ruby, Rubrum, and he needs to do it as quickly as possible, unfortunately, it was too late. Behind him is the said boy that had to enforce the training session upon him, the boy had opened his mouth in a quick manner.
"Where do you think, you are going?" a voice of power and authority had come out of his mouth, this terrifies Jaune to the core and this also gives him the reason to plan his hiding spot.
"Uhm... Getting to my room, to do something" As he gives an excuse and starts to walk two steps forward, but stop again when Rubrum had spoken again.
"And what is this 'something?'" The silver-eyed boy giving him the stare.
"It is something, that might you don't want to hear about" Jaune giving him more excuses to escape the training session.
"You sure?" Rubrum rising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm su-agh!" but before he had even finished what he would say, he gets grabbed by Rubrum in the top of his chestplate and gets pulled down slightly, while also through the Force had bend a bit of Pyrrha's mind to leave the both of them and to focus on a new task, while forgetting what she had seen
"Don't think, you can escape from the training that I have given to you. The headmaster had granted me the authority to train you in any way possible, and I would use that said authority to it's fullest, even this includes hurting you with my semblance. Now, do you understand! "As Rubrum had spoken in a very harsh and condescending tone, he releases Jaune from his grip, with Jaune fixing himself up.
"Now follow me to the rooftops, I would test your swordsmanship skills first" After Jaune had fixed himself up, he obeyed what Rubrum had said to him.
A sign comes from Jaune and a single sweatdrop coming out from his pores dropping to the ground, he often wonders, how Ruby Rose who doesn't like any harsh and cruel people at all, be having a perfect sibling relationship, with a harsh, powerful, and condescending person. This doesn't make any sense to him at all.
Rooftop
Rubrum had stood before and had his face stare at Jaune, with Jaune doing the same. Rubrum had also brought a single Vibroblade, while he is more of a dual wielding fighter more than a singular type, he believes that even with a single Vibroblade would just easily block all of his attacks with ease.
"Jaune, you would be the offensive, while, I will be the defensive" As he commanded the blonde boy.
Jaune had the taken a stance of form V of Djem So, although Jaune had not known that it's a lightsaber form. From what Rubrum see in his physique, he believes that Form V of Djem So is appropriate for a muscular and strong build especially with his huge amounts of Aura enhancing his physical strength. Meanwhile, Rubrum took a stance of form III named Soresu to defend himself.
Jaune had taken up the first strike with his blade is held above his head, angled backward and down at about forty-five degrees. This is also the beginning stance for the falling avalanche attack, then he strikes down to his opponent, exerting with all of his strength and will. Rubrum sees this and defends himself by having his Vibroblade defending from the special attack if this his master Vader striking him down without holding back, he would have his defense being totally broken within a dozen strikes and have himself being either choked or being push back with the Force.
Thankfully enough, Jaune wasn't Lord Vader, thus easily defending himself from the attack without even being staggered back, then Jaune done dozens of strikes coming from the right, left, and the top with all of them striking all of the zones, that he taught to Jaune about. But even with all of the strikes of physical might Rubrum had just easily deflect all of his strikes and thrust with ease, even Jaune had his strength being completely enhanced with Aura.
The Silver-Eyed boy had gotten a bit bored. He then with all of his physical strength amplified with the powerful Force Energies to strike Jaune. The blonde boy had reacted to the strike and tries to block the attack, but the physical might of Rubrum is so much, that the sword that Jaune had gripped within his two hands is being thrown away about a several meters to the left of Jaune.
"You've lasted for about ten minutes, that's bad for you, not to mention, that I was holding back. If I dare to strike you with all of my power, I would've destroyed you in an instant. Continue fighting like this, you would've died, with your dreams of becoming a hero just like your forefathers will be an illusion and a delusion." Then Rubrum had to lean into his face about a several inches away "You're just nothing but a burden"
Jaune had his anger rises. Jaune for all of his unselfish, amiable, and resourceful attitude, had one fatal flaw just like what any person would have. It is his obsession with the family legacy of being a hero, thus leading to make brash, dishonest, and stubborn actions, for an example would be using fake transcripts to get into Beacon to be a Hunter, as the goal in intent is purely noble and heroic. Jaune had never taken into consideration the years of hard work and training to be a capable student of an academy that churns out new Hunters and Huntresses every year.
(Ah, it seem so that I have struck the tick that had let his anger rise, ah yes. I could feel through the Force, his anger is rising, such anger is good and it gives one focus when combating your enemies, though it would leave someone in a disadvantage, to be blind when it comes in judgment. I have also done it for another reason, to test if he Force-sensitive or not.)
Jaune had slowly risen up from the floor, he walks towards to his sword and grabs it with his two hands. The slightly angered blonde boy had his mouth opened.
"I' m not a burden and I will be a hero just like my ancestors" as Jaune had retorted back to him with bitterness.
"If what you said is true, then hit me down with all your might and anger" as Rubrum stated to him. Then, Jaune stood up and with instinct, he had instinctively gathering Force Energies and with his mind, he had created a Force Push. The Silver-Eyed boy can sense the Force Push coming right at him, now, any Force Sensitive might had blocked the push, but Rubrum had no intentions of doing such a thing, he wanted to have Jaune to realize the Force Sensitivity within him. He wanted to have Jaune to recognize that he can connect, manipulate, and feel with the ubiquitous energy field that seems to bind everything.
Rubrum is being pushed to the ground in just a few meters from his original position and is currently lying in the ground, he had gotten himself back standing upright.
Frustration and anger, a feeling that he had always acted upon when he is being pushed around, forced to attack his own friends, being scolded and reprimanded for a long time, and the likes. The feeling of anger had often, if not always help him in the times of hardship, one example would be his bold defiance of Cardin due to him being commanded to humiliate and hurt his partner, Pyrrha Nikos. Now, he was tired of all harsh but truthful talk and criticism during every training session done by Rubrum Rose.
Then an unknown but somewhat familiar feeling had to flow through him. He had such feelings when every time he had held and expressed powerful and strong emotions, although it mostly occurred when every time he is angered. Said feeling had given a burst of confidence, will, strength, and power. When every time in a desperate and hopeless situation, this familiar feeling can be felt helping him every time. To him, it is just adrenaline. But, oh no, he was all wrong. No, rather it is the Force that had been flowing through him the all-time, giving him the necessary things to overcome an obstacle in front of him.
Most of his life, he is being unknowingly strengthened by the Force, now it is the time for him to connect with the Force and use it. Connecting with the Force, he had unconsciously with a mere thought, created a weak but powerful enough Force Push to throw the Silver-Eyed boy a few meters back. Jaune had seen the power that he is tapping in. He can see that his tutor is being pushed back and being thrown into the ground.
Frustration and anger being replaced by emotions of pride, confusion, and happiness. Pride, that he had somehow landed a hit to the harsh, merciless, and a powerful fighter of Beacon. Confusion, as to why, his combat tutor didn't dodge his attack, although, it could be the effects of the attack aren't being easily seen. lastly, happiness, he is happy that he had hit the one who had to give him harsh verbal assault, and he is also happy, that he had finally discovered his "semblance". Or so, he thinks.
He can see that his combat tutor is making himself standing up.
"Heh, it seems that I had discovered my semblance. And, that I have defeated you" Jaune said to the Silver-Eyed boy, who held an expression of joy. This gives Jaune, the impression, that Rubrum might be happy, that he had finally discovered his semblance.
"Indeed, you might have defeated me. But, I let my guard down to see something interesting within you" The words given by his Combat Tutor had confused Jaune.
"What do you mean by that, Rubrum?" Asked the confused blonde boy.
"Well, Jaune. Have you known about my past, just give me a simple explanation" The Silver-Eyed boy asking a simple question to Jaune. The question gives more confusion to Jaune, but instead of expressing his confusion, he instead gives the answer.
"Well, you've been kidnapped by your former master and have been training with him for about ten years in a harsh environment and when he died, you decided to go back to Vale and to find your family. Now, you're here in Beacon Academy." This is the short summary given by Rubrum's twin sister. When he wanted to ask Ruby why Rubrum is outright harsh and brutal when it comes to fighting, verbal assaults, and etc. There are moments of Ruby having tears and sadness when she tells that he is being treated badly and him being kidnapped, but ended up happy when she tells, of how herself got united with her beloved twin brother and ending with it, telling that she hopes that Rubrum would never be torn away from her life by anything or anyone.
"Yes, that is correct. But, have you wonder where my dead master came from and gone to when he had finished kidnapped me" as Rubrum give him another question.
"Well, I've never thought of that,"
"My dead master, came from there" Rubrum had brought one of his fingers pointing it to the blackened skies with the damaged moon being visible.
"Ehh, what? The sky? this is something, that I don't completely expect from someone like you." More and more confusion is entering within Jaune. He now wanted actual answers.
"No! Not the sky, he comes from space, he comes from other worlds. Worlds, that you might never imagine." The Answer had confused Jaune even more, space? That is something out-of-the-world. Did he suggest, that his master is an alien? No, this is complete nonsense, there is no existing mode of transportation to leave the atmosphere without having Dust losing its power.
"Okay. You might be intimidating, giving facts to people and more, but this is something Bullshit!" He then prepares to go inside the Dorm through the apparent door in the rooftop. "Also, it's almost late. And Obviously, we need some sleep." But instead of going to the door, he is being grabbed by Rubrum.
"If, you don't believe me. Then, I would show something." Before He knew it, in just a few seconds. The two have teleported. Only leaving a silverish mist.
Small Cave, Ghost town
He can feel his manipulations on the Force. Twisting the Space-Time Continuum to his will, to teleport to a desired location. The Force is interconnected within everything, this includes Space and Time. With enough proficiency and mastery over the Force, one could fold and twist the very fabric of Space-Time to his/her will. Though, such actions would leave the user in exhaustion. This is evident when Rubrum is visibly tired with a little sweat coming out.
"Huh, Where are in the dust are we?! And how did we get here" Jaune turns his face of confusion and disbelief to the face of shock and surprise.
"We are here, near to my starship named Rogue Shadow. And also, how did we get here? It is one of many, if not the infinite wonders of the Force" Rubrum had answered.
Starship? Infinite wonders? Force? These words have given the necessary reason as to why Jaune would question his combat tutor.
"OK, Ok. Now you tell me, that you're telling me that, your master comes from space, now you're telling me some nonsense." Then Jaune shouts "JUST GET TO THE DAMN POINT OR ELSE I WOULD TELL ALL BULLSHIT OF THIS TO YOUR SISTERS"
"Your verbal threats doesn't concern nor intimidate me. Now, follow me" Jaune was still being angry and disbelief at him, but nevertheless, he had followed him.
The short walk was anything but silence, the two stop when both of them are seeing a starship. The Teenage Silver-Eyed boy channeling Force Energies through the Ship, he had activated it. The Ship is now completely operating. And the landing ramp to the Rogue Shadow had been opened. Jaune is now starting to believe, but he was still mad. Rubrum walk to the ramp with Jaune following him. Entering the Ship, they have entered the lounge of the Ship, which contains a high-quality holographic table which is surrounded by a circular couch. Rubrum takes a seat and so did Jaune.
"Now, I will tell you everything" With a few pushes on the buttons on the holographic table, it showed a high quality colorized hologram of the galaxy. "This, Jaune, is the galaxy, that we live in. Filled with countless Solar Systems which is then filled with countless lifeforms." Then Rubrum pressing a single button, it showed the territory of the Galaxy. with the blue showing the territory of the Galactic Empire, it had dominated more than half of the entire galaxy. The Yellow showing the territory of the Hutt Cartel which had dominated many parts of the right side of the galaxy. Showing the major powers of the galaxy.
"The blue color in this galactic map is where my master come from and is named as the Galactic Empire, he is the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Empire and he wanted himself and to use me to overthrow the Emperor, because he finds me, the powerful Force Sensitive that can rival him. He is also the one who showed me the ways of the Force." Rubrum had tried to explain to Jaune.
"So... Your master come from this Galactic Empire, he is the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Empire and he wanted to use you because your master believes that you whatever your power is enough to overthrow the Emperor. And he is also the one who shows you the ways of this Force?" Jaune just takes a glare at the Silver-Eyed boy "What even is this?! How could anything what you said is true."
"If you still don't believe me, then I would try my best to explain all of it you"
Rubrum then starts to explain what had truly happened to start with his kidnapping. The Force Sensitive speaks about how he remembered being kidnapped from his family by his master named Lord Vader or Darth Vader, then he speaks about, about how Lord Vader started to train him after a one week being confined within a room which is protected with a few droids and giving him rations and water to keep him alive.
Then, Rubrum talks about the sheer brutal, cruel, vicious, and torturous training that had given to him. The things that the Silver-Eyed boy described his training had given Jaune a powerful feeling of sympathy and disgust. Such examples of this brutal training would be the time when his former master Darth Vader had thrown him into a high-gravity Planet with a very hostile environment and that he must survive for a month, the only things that he only had is his Sith Robes and dual Lightsabers just to survive.
Jaune had asked him, why did his master let him be in training of such inhumane conditions. Vader's former apprentice had answered his question in a monotonous voice.
"It's because it is one of the ways to be fully enveloped within the dark side of the Force. As you can see, the power that you and I hold isn't Aura, but rather the Force itself, an all-present energy field that binds within everything. I haven't even unlocked my Aura. The 'Semblance' you had shown, is actually a Force Push. Anyway, the dark side of the Force is mostly emotions, love, happiness, anger, sadness, disgust, all of it is what empowers the dark side of the Force, but negative emotions can empower the dark side in a significant and powerful effect compared to positive emotions. All of those gruesome and inhumane training is meant to induce me a lot of negative emotions like pain, anger, hatred, and many more. This is why my master to train me this way to be as powerful as I can be."
Jaune had now understood all of it clearly. This also makes sense as to why Rubrum is being harsh to failures who kept making mistakes, brutal when it comes on how he fights his opponents, doesn't seem to fear even if threats are being thrown to his face, and etc. Now, a thought came to his mind. Do his sisters know all about this, Jaune doesn't think, most especially with the nauseating descriptions given by his tutor.
"Do your sisters know about this?" Jaune is being dead serious in his tone and question, though this doesn't scare Rubrum for a bit.
"No, they don't, and they never will." The answer given by the Silver-Eyed boy is dissatisfying especially the ending.
"What do you mean by 'they never will'? Why would you never tell all of this to your sisters?" decades living with his sisters that had been making fun of him but still love them had given his own personal view about sibling relationships had let him question such a response.
"Tch... Because, I don't want my sisters to know that I was being tortured for straight ten years, besides ignorance is bliss."
"Fair answer, I guess"
"Good. Now back to the story."
Rubrum had told him that despite a decade of anguish and brutal training, he still remember home and his family. He had also told him the only genuine friend during under Vader is PROXY who is the only droid that had given him compassion and love. He told him about how he had missed the droid. during the end of the decade-long training. Rubrum told him that he had conceived of a plan to finally going back home. The plan involved with him conducting a dark side ritual on a powerful dark side nexus to remove Vader's memories on how to go Remnant while implanting the memories to his own, next he had removed any data on hyperspace lanes that lead to Remnant with the help of Vader's stolen memories and PROXY, get a powerful Kyber crystal and to infuse his Force presence to the crystal and put it into PROXY, so that PROXY can have a false Force presence of him.
Rubrum had told Jaune, on how he had finally escaped from his master's iron fist, during on a mission to hunt down pirates disrupting Imperial trade routes, he had finally escaped with the Rogue Rubrum while leaving PROXY in a disguise of him. Though, leaving PROXY had given a state of sadness temporarily. The Rogue Rubrum go to the hyperspace lane leading to Remnant and it took few hours to finally gone to Remnant, his birth planet, and home planet.
"And, that is the story of how I had escaped from my former master, Darth Vader. Any questions?"
"Would your master hunt you down?"
"Yes, that is inevitable. But the chances of him going to truly find me is virtually impossible, as I have maintained a perpetual state that hides my Force Presence, not to mention, that stealing of his memories to my own and removal of any data of any hyperspace lanes to this System."
"Next Question?
"So, what is the Force, that you've been mentioning"
Rubrum is just eager to answer his question.
"Well, Jaune. As I have explained it earlier, the Force is an omnipresent power that binds with everything, it within you, within me, within the very atoms that made up the universe, within the air, within space, within time, within every stars that you have seen and basically within everything, It is like water flowing within everywhere. There are two major orders when it comes to learning and uses it the Force: The Jedi and The Sith, while there are diverse different order, organizations, factions, and etc. but those things aren't really important. For the Jedi, they believe only to serve the light side of the Force, they believe that anything of the dark side must be purged at all cost. For the Sith, they believe that one must follow their passions, whether it be money, love, power, and etc."
Rubrum continued with a philosophical tone.
"I would recite both of their codes. The Jedi it is. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force."
Jaune reacted to the code with disagreement.
"Now for the Sith Code. Peace is a lie, there's only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me."
And Jaune had reacted to the code with a bit of acceptance.
"Both codes are what reflect the philosophy of two respective orders, The Jedi, and the Sith. The Jedi Code is nothing but a denial of reality, living in an illusion that things like emotion, ignorance, and the likes are nothing, just so they could wait for death while still being peaceful. The code in many levels is filled with hypocrisy, it is the equivalent of a child throwing a tantrum while still believing pretending it's for a good reason. The Jedi Code is a code of denial."
"For the Sith Code. While, I might have agreed with most of it and doesn't have any sort of disgusting hypocrisy, for the code doesn't lie, unlike the Jedi code, for the code, it believes in goals, truth, and the path to achievement. The one thing, they lack is restraint. The Sith Code is about having absolute freedom at all cost, it doesn't matter if you have to kill thousands or millions, all that matters is about absolute freedom. In the end, both codes are flawed."
The Silver-Eyed boy continued even more.
"Now, the Force had both sides, both light side and the dark side. but, don't confuse with the light being good and the dark being evil." Rubrum just scoffed at the end.
"Why is that?" Jaune asked with uncertainty.
"As you can see. People tend to associate both light and dark with good and evil because that is what only their narrow-minded and small minds can just comprehend. And with this, the ignorant masses of the galaxy have always associated the Jedi as good, and the Sith as bad. But, this is not the case at all. The Jedi in the past have done truly terrible things in the sake of having the light side as the dominant position of the galaxy, one of them is to eradicate an entire race of Force Sensitives named the Sith because the Sith species are of innately dark siders. A Jedi wielding the light side can be as destructive as Sith wielding the dark side."
Jaune had a face of bewilderment with the words "Sith species". Rubrum had introduced that the Sith is a major order of the Force, now rather it is a species. This baffles him.
"Wait? You said that the Sith is a major order that preaches absolute freedom. Now, you're talking that the Sith are actually species. Just explain what is it!?"
"Well, as you can see. almost seven thousand years ago, There is a group of Jedi led by Ajunta Pall who have been dabbled in new ways of using the Force in which the Jedi Order would highly disapprove of. These new ways of using the Force, to resurrect dead beings, the creation of life, and the likes. However, Ajunta Pall's Jedi faction and The Jedi Order had argued each other and this culminates into a war, which is named the Hundred-Year Darkness. I wouldn't tell all of the details of the war. But, Ajunta Pall's Jedi have fought against the Jedi Order, in the end, Ajunta Pall's Jedi had lost the war, but due to the nature of The Jedi Order, they're exiled rather than being killed, which is a stupid mistake for the Jedi Order.
The Exiled Dark Jedi have exiled into deep space, in which they found Korriban, the birth planet of both Sith species and the Sith Order. In that place, Ajunta Pall and his fellow Dark Jedi have descended from the sky and landed to Korriban. When they have been landed to the planet and show their knowledge and power of the Force, in which shocked the natives of Korriban, the Sith. In their Ajunta Pall and his fellow Dark Jedi have created an alliance with the second-in-command of the Sith King Hakagram Graush and they managed to overthrow him, then it was there, that the Sith Order had been born, with Ajunta Pall being known as the First Dark Lord of the Sith. It was Ajunta Pall's exile named Sorzus Syn that had developed the Sith Code which is made to be the antithesis of the Jedi Code. The other Dark Jedi just adopted the title Sith Lord or Lords of the Sith. With the newly made Sith Order, they have effectively conquered the Sith species
And that is how the Sith Order was born. Today, the Sith species have been to extinction, even barely knowing that their powerful ancestors had done in the past. But, the Sith Order has domination over the Galaxy."
"Okay, I get it. But, why told me all of this? Why not others."
The Silver-Eyed boy had answered his question.
"It's because Jaune, you're the only one who had a strong connection with the Force besides my twin sister. With all of the harsh doings to you when during training, it is meant to unlock your connection with the Force and know how to harness it. Besides, you don't want to be a weakling anymore, be helpless to others. It is time for you to know the ways of the Force. So, are you willing to be my apprentice and to learn power even greater than Aura itself?"
Jaune had been thinking about the offer. If he had accepted the offer, he could be strong faster. Strong enough to save his friends and family, maybe even giving him big chances to restore his family name to its former glory or even higher, but there are some doubts. Could the boy had some ulterior motives behind this act, possibly using him as a tool. If he rejected, he knew that he wouldn't be strong faster, he might regret rejecting the offer of apprenticeship, and implying from the boy's demeanor, he knew it would cause him more trouble. Finally, the option of accepting the offer outweigh the option of rejecting.
"Yes, I would accept your offer, but I still have some doubts about it."
This gives a smirk to Rubrum.
"A wise choice you made, Jaune. Also, there is nothing you must doubt about, I have no ulterior motives at all. I just wanted to see another Force sensitive in Remnant. Now, it's late. Better teleport back inside the Dorm"
He had been gathering another set of Force Energies during their discussion. channeling the Force to his will, he had again bend the space around him and Jaune to instantaneously go back to the roof of the dorm.
A/N: Well, this is the longest chapter that I have written, about more than 6,000 words long. Congrats, Jaune, you're now under the apprenticeship of Rubrum, any obstacle right before you would be dispatched quickly. For, the teleportation thing. There are several Force-sensitives who had done this thing, and a few of practitioners of Force Teleportation is weaker to Rubrum when it comes to the raw power over the Force. Well, there is Darth Jadus for an example, he is basically teleporting casually, remember though. This is him teleporting in short distances, if he had teleported a very long distance, it would tire him. The same thing happened to the Main OC. the distance between the roof of the Dorm and the Cave is a long one.
For Rubrum's interpretation of both codes of the Jedi and the Sith. This is how I also view both codes of the Jedi and the Sith. The Jedi are a bunch of people living in an illusion, while the Sith are a bunch of people who believe in Absolute Freedom and they shouldn't haven't any restraint to said Freedom.
Finally, follow the story, if you're interested, favorite the story, if you like the story, if you have anything to suggest/criticize/thoughts about the story just review or PM, just don't flame me or the story with anything that is nonsense.
Edit:
EnigmaPriest3002: Why didn't Rubrum just kill Cardin? Would've made a bit more sense, to be honest.
A: While it makes sense for Rubrum just to kill team CRDL. It should be noted, that the death of a Student wouldn't go unnoticed. Rubrum might have powerful Force powers that could allow him to manipulate memories, electronic devices, and etc. You should take Ozpin into account. Ozpin is a thousand-year-old Force Sensitive, manipulating minds of a Force Sensitive is difficult even for Rubrum. Just take a look, Vader, he is very powerful indeed, yet despite his powerful Force connection. Vader can't just manipulate or even read the memories of his daughter, Leia Organa. The best thing he could do mentally tortures Leia Organa to spit out the information about the Rebel base which has obviously failed. Ozpin, I believe could have sensed the death of Cardin or his teammates.
Rubrum had taken notice that Ozpin is a Force Sensitive. with the latest chapter showing that Rubrum had conducted a dark side ritual on a strong dark side nexus with him removing of Vader's memories about him going to Remnant. Rubrum could have done the same thing to Ozpin and everyone that had known about CRDL, the effect of the dark side ritual should have sent shockwaves through the Force, and that only extremely powerful Force Sensitives could have detected it, these two Force Sensitives are Yoda and Darth Sidious.
If Rubrum had done this dark side ritual. He should be aware that Darth Sidious could've probably sensed the after-effects of the dark side Ritual. So, yeah no. Rubrum wouldn't kill Cardin.
Besides, I don't think there is any form of beneficial killing team CRDL to Rubrum . He only kills that only proves to be truly harmful and doesn't have any worth at all, team CRDL isn't one of them. Rubrum as he had negative opinions towards them. He believes that they could still change for the better. Though, he doesn't think about this a lot.
