Billymom2: If I were to have him use both sides, I would do so much later in the story, maybe after he meets a few jedi, but until then the only experience with the force he has is Darth Alcor.

This-Mickey-Seems-Iffy: Do you mean Darth Viridi? I cannot count your vote until you clarify.

Alcor bit back a curse. He had been working on a much more advanced fusion and backup fission power system for the ship, but ran into a bottleneck. The elements he needs are not readily available, and he does not know how to manipulate atomic elements to get what he needs. That happened to be an extremely high level of Sith Alchemy, but the real Alcor did not have time to study it before he made the Holocron the soul fragment resides in. It's a bit odd talking about what is essentially yourself in the third person. Alcor knows U.A. has parts, but they don't have plutonium and the like. He would have to go to a physics lab to retrieve some.

Alcor looked at Izuku who was meditating on the ground, almost 11 years old. Radioactivity and human flesh don't mix, and while Alcor won't get sick, Izuku definitely will. As Alcor studied his apprentice's force signature, figuring out how deep in the darkside he was, he then grabbed Izuku's consciousness and pulled it out of the force back into his body. Izuku opened his eyes and looked at Alcor expectantly. "Apprentice." Izuku nodded his head in acknowledgement. "For the next week I will be too busy to watch over you, I have some errands to run."

Izuku was about to say something to Alcor before he held his hand up. "What I will be doing would be too dangerous for a human body, so to make sure you do not get harmed you will not be coming with me." Izuku bit his lower lip, his green eyes calculating. "Master, without me, who will carry your Holocron?" Alcor smirked before giving a reply, already prepared for said question. "No need, for the past 6 years, my Holocron has been storing up residual darkside energy that comes from you, Apprentice. Before, I would be lucky to get five blocks away without being restricted. Now I have consolidated enough power that I could travel just beyond the city's borders." Izuku looked confused before understanding. Whenever Izuku practiced the darkside, he would leave a little bit of dark energy behind. His master's Holocron was just absorbing it, to be used later. This might have explained why Ana never gave off a look of fear or cold, as was described by Alcor, whenever she came to his room.

Izuku nodded his head, and Alcor took that as the signal to continue. "For the next 7-day period, I will be retrieving supplies for the ship. You may do as you please, however, you must continue with your studies, reading and writing, as well as the Sith code and meditation. While it is impressive the level of saber play you possess, I don't need you giving me a figurative headache, so none of that." Izuku frowned and pouted a little inside, he had plans to practice switching from JarˈKai Ataru to Saberstaff Soresu. Alcor could sense his disappointment and gave Izuku a pointed glare.

Izuku relented. "All right master, I won't ask why but thank you for this one-week vacation." He grinned as he looked up at his teacher from his cross-legged position. Alcor's eye twitched. 'Cheeky Apprentice.' Alcor sighed as he made his way to Izuku's laptop that he got when he turned 10 by his mother, to make some research on local physics labs.

It was now the next day and Izuku could not sense his master. He knew he likely left in the middle of the night to avoid detection. That of course didn't mean he would slack off, but instead did his daily reading of Sith texts written from Alcor's memories stored in the Holocron. Before long he got enraptured by the words of a many Sith past, a knock at his door brought him out of it.

"Izuku? It's time to get ready for school." Quickly Izuku hid the papers under his pillow. "You can come in Mom." Inko opened the door, walking in. Over the years, Inko put on a little weight due to stress eating but was still considerably slim despite her age and weakening metabolism. She was dressed in a green v neck sweater.

Izuku reached out for a hug and Inko obliged warping him around. "You're getting tall, pretty soon, you'll be taller than your mama." Izuku nodded as he looked at her, releasing himself from the hug. They both made their way to the kitchen as Izuku grabbed a box of Mightyoeo's, a cereal sponsored by, you guessed it All Might or rather his office, he himself hasn't actually made any words on the merch with his face on it.

"Izuku, how are you doing in school?" Izuku swallowed his bite. "I'm doing great, I'm passing all my classes." Izuku smiled. "Made any new friends?" Izuku's smile then fell, and Inko could tell no. Ana had made Izuku more confident and willing to be honest with his school life, but that does not mean he didn't hate his school. Everyone bullied him like crazy. And she could not afford to send him elsewhere or home school him. Even with a law degree, she got very few clients, and the ones she got were minor criminals or villains that came from poor backgrounds. She did not have the heart to charge more then what's fair.

"Izuku, how about I walk with you to school, would you like that?" Izuku opened his mouth, before closing it, standing up and warping his mother in a hug. He was glad for the gift that she was, and as much as he wanted to tell her about Alcor, he knew that his mother wouldn't understand what he was doing or learning. "I'd love that mom." As they gathered their dishes after eating, Izuku returned to his room gathering his supplies and putting on his school cloths.

He turned his head to the pillow hiding the papers, internally debating on whether not to take them. Before long, he grabbed them stuffing them in his backpack with care. As he walked into the living room, he noted his mother's thin jacket rather than her sweater, holding an umbrella, in case it would rain. They left the house and slowly made their way towards Izuku's public school. As they traveled, Izuku noted the local heroes patrolling, beginning to mutter about possible quirks, as his mother simply smiled.

"Alright, I'll see you and Ana later today, right?" Izuku nodded his head. "Thanks for walking with me mom." "I'm glad to do so sweetie." Some of the other kids were glaring at Izuku for having a happy moment. They weren't even trying to be subtle, until Inko sent a glare back at them. They were stupid but they weren't idiots. 'Attraction of Small Objects,' also applies to human body parts, and they shouldn't try anything so long as she was there.

As she hugged him and then let go, her eyes became foggy with tears, threating to fall. She wanted to help, and she tried, but nobody would help her gift Izuku. She waved at him as he entered the school building, his face becoming grim as he turned.

Izuku walked down the hall heading to homeroom. The class that happens to happen his worst bullies. And Ana. So, the only class he looks forward to. He climbed the stairs to the second level, before turning, walking down the hall and turning right. Izuku entered the classroom, to find his teacher sitting going through a paper book. The homeroom teacher was better then his other teachers, well he did turn a blind eye to bullying, but at least he didn't physically reprimand Izuku, when he got into a mutter.

The other kids glared at Izuku, like he dared to breathe the same air as them, until a voice cut though. "Izukuuuuuu! How are you doing?!" Ana jumped him wrapping her arms around him, she was just a few inches shorter the Izuku, but it was becoming increasingly obvious that she would be taller than him when they stopped growing. Izuku fell to the ground with a dull thud.

"Ms. Lee, please stop hugging Mr. Midoriya so he can get back up." The apathetic teacher didn't even look up from his personal reading material. Ana blushed in embarrassment, brushing her ponytail behind her head as he got up. Izuku then gabbed a desk hoisting himself up. "Tch, fucking losers." Katsuki muttered under his breath. Ana made no signal that he heard the bully, but Izuku did.

Katsuki and all his cronies started targeting both Ana and Izuku relentlessly when they found out the two were best friends. Despite the hate and pain Izuku felt, Ana was his rock keeping him from snapping and killing everyone in the school. Of course, he is more then capable of doing that, but would rather not. Nearly six years of Sith apprenticeship, combined with his power and natural talent for analyzing and dissecting various quirks and/or abilities made him quite the prodigy in Alcor's yellow eyes.

The bell rang, and to avoid the teacher's wrath, the two Quirkless kids got in their respective seats. Ana was a few rows ahead of Izuku to his right, this was done deliberately to make sure the two would not interrupt class. "Alright you brats, today is…"

Izuku left homeroom and went to his next class, math, where the teacher was far meaner to him, and even played cruel pranks on his person, claiming innocence when confronted. The young Sith simply tried to go though his classes with as much indifference as possible as he waited for third period and lunch to spend with Ana.

Before long third period was about to start and Izuku was the one to surprise Ana this time. A hug was how he greeted her. Although Izuku couldn't see it, Ana's cheeks were dusted pink when he hugged her. "IZUUKUU! Let me go!" The greenette gave a snort. "Oh? You can tackle me in homeroom, but I can't give you a simple hug? How is that fair?" Ana pouted as she started to squirm, "It's different! Only girls are allowed to do stuff like that!" "Really? Well first time I've heard of this rule, but if you insist." Izuku promptly let go as she took a half second to realize she was free and stopped touching his chest. She then promptly turned and entered their shared classroom. And before long the period was over.

The Quirkless pre-pubescents made their way to the school roof with home packed lunches. Even the school workers liked to pick on both, Izuku and Ana. The unwrapped their food and began to eat in comfort. *BANG!* and the door was kicked open by a perpetually angry blond boy. Katsuki Bakugou stomped his way towards the two.

"So, this is where you two losers were hiding. What are you having for lunch, Deku?" Without warning Bakugou grabbed the paper bag containing the rest of Izuku's lunch. "Oh, what do we have here? An All Might Apple Juice Carton." Katsuki then bit the container draining the whole thing in his mouth. When he was done, he crushed it, dropping the crumpled box on Izuku's head. "You know, Quirkless fucks like yourself don't deserve hero sponsored shit, let alone sponsored by the Number 1 hero. So, don't think of it in the future." Katsuki cackled as he made his way back to the door slamming it.

Ana glared at the door when it closed but failed to notice Izuku's eyes. The young man's normally green eyes were a dangerous molten amber, seemingly ready to kill the prey that is Katsuki Bakugou, before he blinked, and they returned to their natural green. "Come on Ana, just ignore him. If we attack Katsuki we could get suspended or even expelled." After spending so much time with Ana, she managed to convince him Katsuki wasn't worth an affectionate nickname.

Ana frowned but relented. "I know, but I just hate this so much. If it were not for the quirk-elitist school we go too, I would go straight to the police, but they would never investigate our situation. The school is smart enough to cover-up well enough that police would not see anything." Izuku looked sadly at Ana before tapping her on the shoulder, "We should finish eating, lunch period will be over soon." Ana nodded as they quickly finished their food. "I'll see you after school Izuku, then we'll head to your apartment." Izuku nodded as he threw his trash in the garbage and walked through the doorway, closing it behind him. Ana frowned, 'Soon, I'll tell you soon.'

Izuku was in his final class before the bell rang, and he began to gather his school supplies. "Where do you think you're going?" Izuku lifted his head to find Katsuki holding his backpack, one of his 'Friends,' the one with the elongated fingers going through his stuff before pulling out something that caused Izuku to panic. His Sith writings.

"What's this loser? Fucking code for your hero worship? Maybe I should just burn it!" Izuku knew he had to get that back, so he decided the best case was to tell a half-truth. "N-No, it's just some work given to me. It's w-written in another language." Katsuki was intrigued, if Izuku was telling the truth, then he might have another way to ruin the little pebble that he was. "Oh, who would be retarded enough to teach a Quirkless fuck like you?"

"U-uh, he-e's Quirkless too." Izuku stuttered out. Katsuki nearly dropped the papers in shock. He quickly gathered his bearings before picking back up. "Oh, so a Quirkless loser teaches another Quirkless loser. This sounds interesting, what does it say?" To emphasize small explosions made themselves known in his palms in a threatening manner. Izuku paled, then went even more pale. It was the Sith code, in writing and his thoughts dissecting it. While he hopped and prayed to whatever god existed that Katsuki would drop it. Unfortunately, his prayers went unanswered. "What are you waiting for you damn nerd?! An engraved invitation."

At this point one of the cronies, the one with detached eyeballs, looked at his watch. "Shit, I'm gonna be late, do you need me to stay Katsuki?" The other nodded his head, "Yeah me too." Katsuki tisk'd, as he glared at the two. "I don't need the help of two extras to put a Deku in his place, go do whatever the hell you want." They both nodded, bowing out of the room, leaving only Izuku and Bakugou, as the teacher had left in the middle of the incident, pretending not to see anything.

"Nwûl tash. Dzwol shâsotkun." "The fuck are you saying Deku?!" Izuku ignored the urge to retort as he continued. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion." Katsuki had this look of understanding on his face. Izuku was reading the phrase in the native tongue. "Shâsotjontû châtsatul nu tyûk. Through passion I gain strength. Tyûkjontû châtsatul nu midwan. Through strength I gain power. Midwanjontû châtsatul nu asha. Through power I gain victory. Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak. Through victory, my chains are broken. Wonoksh Qyâsik nun. The Force shall free me."

Katsuki simply growled as he grabbed Izuku's shirt. "And what exactly is that?" He gritted out, waiting for a response. "The code of the Sith." "Sith, is that some kinda religion or something?" "To some, to others, it's a political code or a personal one. There was even a species that were once called Sith. It depends on who you ask. What is also written is my breakdown of the code, and the writings of my predecessor sith."

"Stop talking in riddles. Although, that code, makes a lotta sense for me. Maybe I should adopt that as my own." A beat, a second, and something in Izuku snapped. He whispered something. "What was that nerd?!" "I said that's not yours, thAT'S MINE!" Suddenly without warning Katsuki felt a tightening around his neck, as he let go of the shirt and papers, the smell of nitroglycerin lingering in the air. He grasped at his neck desperate for air, trying to figure out what was happening. He turned his head upwards, as he continued to lose air, and saw Izuku's eyes. They were molten amber that held a cold intense anger that Katsuki had never seen on anyone, let alone Izuku. Before long Katsuki blacked out hitting the floor.

Izuku, blinking his eyes now returning them to their natural color, released Katsuki from the force choke he was using. Izuku had signs of panic beginning to adorn his face before he reached down and confirmed that Katsuki was in fact still alive. He quickly gathered his things before leaving his classroom, looking around the hallway, before closing the door. He made his way to the entrance, where a few students were waiting for their parents. At the front was Ana humming to herself.

"S-Sorry for keeping you waiting." Ana turned at the sound of his voice. "It's alright, I can tell from the smell of nitro-glycerin it was Bakugou that kept you. Come on, let's go."

Katsuki groaned as his head pounded. He pushed himself off the cold ground he was lying on. 'The fuck, what the hell am I doing on the fucking ground.' There was a custodian in the classroom cleaning. He would have helped, but the staff member knew that Katsuki has an inferiority problem that nobody seems to see. In order to avoid his wrath at being seen as weak, he remained silent.

"Deeeekkkkkuuuu." Katsuki growled out as he began to plot. The custodian had a bad feeling.

"Mom we're home!" Izuku called out as he and Ana removed their mud-covered shoes. It had rained a little bit on their way home. "Welcome home Izuku, I whipped you and Ana up a snack." She exited the kitchen wearing cooking apron. "Thanks mom." "Yeah, thank you Miss. Midoriya."

"Ana you don't have to call me that, you can call me Auntie, we're practically family by this point." Ana blushed in embarrassment. "S-sorry auntie." Inko had a smile on her face at that pleasing answer. Izuku and Ana set themselves up in the living room to do some homework before they would hang out in Izuku's room. Izuku put on the TV news in order to study heroes that shined that day. His mother brought out some homemade cookies for the trio to share.

"In other news, last night, the local DieneX Psyics lab was broken into by an unknown villain. The police arrived roughly 5 minutes after the alarm was tripped to find the villain long gone. Right now, this is the only evidence we have." On the TV played a small clip of a security camera view pointing towards the entrance. Suddenly black lightning was seen hitting the camera causing it to short out. The anchorwoman appeared again. "Right now, the police are compiling a list of black lightning quirk users in the area, as well as investigating alibis. There is reason to suspect there were accomplices due to all the items stolen. On that list is small amounts of nuclear material used in fission power plants, and hydrogen heavy elements used in fusion reactions. Along with an industrial freezer designed to keep elements at liquid state."

Inko frowned, as she watched the tv, "That's pretty near here, I hope you two stay safe until this villain is captured." Ana nodded along, but Izuku made no action to say her heard what his mother said. He was focused on that lightning; he knew what that lightning was.

"Apprentice, today I will be teaching you about force lightning." A 9-year-old Izuku looked up to his master. "Observe." Izuku watched with anticipation as he felt his master gather the darkside in the tips of his fingers before blue lightning shot out of them vaporizing the large rock in front of them both. "In order to use this, you must first gather your hatred and push it down on your fingertips. As the pressure builds up you release that anger and rage in a concentrated burst, imagining it coming from your fingers." Izuku nodded, sensing that his master had more to say. "There are different types of force lightning, the most common one what I just showed you. Some Sith were capable of yellow lightning, faster but not as powerful. However, a rare few were capable of the deadly red lightning. This lightning is so intense that Sith would often burn themselves on it, due to lack of control from intensity."

"Got it." Izuku then tried creating the blue lightning, and after a few failed attempts succeeded. Blue lightning erupted singeing his fingers before he was stopped. "Now try pouring in as much as you can when it comes to energy, power, and ferocity. Let's see if you can produce red lightning. You should have enough raw power to do so." Izuku attempted and after more failed attempts then before, he succeeded in producing a few sparks of red lightning dancing his fingers. They burned him but he did succeed. "Do not be discontent, red lightning is draining, so of course it would be difficult to learn, let alone master."

"I do have one more type of lightning I want you to learn. This one is more a personal choice, as it does not have nearly as much power nor speed as the others but is extremely easy to do. When you are about to release your hate, at the very last moment take it back, this should produce black force lightning. The black represents the void the hate would usually fill. Please try it." "Yes master." Izuku then attempted to try black lightning. At first, he couldn't keep a hold on his emotions but soon he had figured it out, and when he did, he used the black lightning more efficiently than the standard blue used by the majority of darksiders. "For the next month, you will be practicing blue and black lightning. Red is too dangerous for your age."

'Master why would you steal from a physics lab? Is it for the ship?' "Izuku?" He was snapped out of his trance by his mother shaking his shoulder a bit. "Oh, sorry mom, I was busy thinking." "Well ok, just don't get lost in that brain of yours young man." Ana giggled a little at Inko's joke.

The next day, Inko started the news as she and Izuku ate breakfast. "The top story today, a second break in, this time at the Mustafa Collage Campus' Physics lab. Once again, on the shopping list, nuclear fission and fusion material. However, the villain did not make off with an industrial freezer this time, as he already had the largest privately owned one in the district. And of course, the only evidence was black lightning shorting out the surveillance equipment." The morning anchorman was switched with a clip of black lightning hitting another camera, before hitting the one filming. "This was the second biggest physics lab in the district, and a formal request has been sent out to protect the other two, more minor ones. According to this, 10 police officers and 2 Pro Heroes will be stationed at each location until this man is caught.

"It's getting scary, would you mind if I walked with you Izuku for peace of mind?" His mother asked with a small smile and a tired voice. Izuku wordlessly nodded. 'Master what exactly are you planning, why do you continue when laying low would make more sense."

That day at school, Katsuki was avoiding Izuku, while simultaneously glaring at him. Izuku knew this was about the day prior but could not confront Katsuki without giving himself away. To Izuku's dismay, he didn't have anything that could affect the mind in his repertoire yet, as his master Alcor, had deemed teaching practical uses of the force more immediate than subtle uses.

7 PM and Ana was once again hanging out with Izuku when the broadcast was interrupted by a female anchor. "Breaking News! A third lab has now been hit, and once again the culprit got away, and sadly at a terrible, terrible price. All 10 Police Officers and the Two Pro Heroes died attempting to stop this villain. Be warned, the video you are about to view is brutal, for those underage, or with a queasy stomach, please do not view." The video began to play, with narration. "The man as you see here is dressed in a black cloak shadowing even his face, only his hands are viewable. As he approached the Lab, the Police ordered him to put his hands up, and when he didn't comply, the police open fired, or at least tried to. All ten guns jammed all at the same time." "Halt! Put your hands up!" Nothing, "If you do not, we will open fire!" … "Open Fire!" The voiceover came back. "When the guns jammed, the two Pros stepped in, NightShade, a pro who can use her own shadows as weapons, and MucleHead, a pro with the strength to overpower 2 dozen men. Nightshade attempted to capture the villain in her shadow, while MucleHead attacked straight on, but both suddenly froze, and with the wave of the culprit's hand, both rose clutching at their necks, as police soon followed suit. Then, you can hear the audible snap of a dozen necks being broken." The 12 lifted in the air, before *SNAP* they fell to the ground. The man turned to the camera, amber eyes glowing, before reaching out his hand, black lightning rippling out at the camera.

The anchorwoman appeared with a solemn face. "Tomorrow, a memorial will be happening to commemorate the 12 lives lost, and while this is a tragedy, we should be glad, as the Number 2 hero Endeavor has made a promise to capture the villain and will be arriving tomorrow morning." Cue Endeavor video. "As the Number 2 Hero, I will bring this horrible villain to justice!" "Be prepared Villain, for when you next show your face, you will be taken down, and we will all sleep easier because of it."

'Master, why did you kill them, couldn't you leave them alive?' Izuku didn't seem to acknowledge or even notice the tiny part of him that cackled with glee at the death of the 12 sentient beings.

Katsuki was watching the news. He saw it. The tall, cloaked man that had amber eyes, was able to telekinetically choke someone and gave off a wave of fear, like Deku did. That prior day, Deku had attacked him with a hidden quirk. He was probably laughing his ass off making a fool of Katsuki. He swore, as the next Number 1 he would bring the villain known as Deku. "Hey Brat! Don't you have homework!?" "Fuck off Old Hag, I already did it!"

The next day, Katsuki was glaring like crazy at Izuku, even when he should have been doing something else. Until it was lunch and Izuku manage to lose him. He met Ana on the roof, making sure to bar the door with a doorstop so they wouldn't be interrupted again. The began to eat, and as time progressed, Izuku noticed more and more how anticipative Ana was. "All right, what is it that has you all fidgety right now?" He asked with a small smile.

"I-I uuuuhhh…" Ana stuttered out as she tried to find words. The more she thought the more flushed she got. "Why are you stuttering? I'm usually the one o do so." Ana swallowed, "Y-you s-see Izuku, I-I, I like you." That last part was so hushed that Izuku almost didn't hear it, "Well I like you too Ana, you're my best friend."

Ana shook her head. 'It's now or never.' "No Izuku! I l-l-love you." And with that all of Izuku's lunch dropped to the ground as he looked at Ana in shock, disbelief and something Ana couldn't tell. She hoped that was mutual love she was seeing but didn't get her hopes up. "A-A-Ana I-I-I don't k-know what t-to say." Izuku was feeling something that he never felt before. True he cared for Ana like the Best Friend she was, but these feeling were new, they were affection and longing for Ana, something Izuku was confused about but didn't question.

"So, uh want to go out this Sunday?" Ana muttered, as Izuku snorted. "Smooth move, but yes I'll go out with you Ana, and yes I think I love you too." The then kissed her right on the cheek as her face flushed scarlet. "Stop!" "Why should I? I have a new girlfriend, so that means teasing rights!" "wait what no!" Izuku grabbed his fallen food, taking anything that was still wrapped and tossing the rest, before removing the door stop. "Catch me if you can!" "Hey, wait, cheater, get back here!" Ana grabbed her essentials, tossing the wasted food before chasing after Izuku.

Too bad Izuku didn't know it was the darkside suppressing these emotions of love, comfort and joy. All without Alcor's interference.
