Chapter 10

Where was I?

This was a strange place; it was neither hot nor cold. There was just an eternal darkness spread all around me.

I did not even know if I was standing on a flat surface or was hovering in the air. This place with no sky and no ground.

I strained my eyes, but I was not able to see anything that would be able to help me pierce this twilight. Until my feet collapsed onto something.

It was not solid, but my feet connected to it. This strange place, where was I?

That was when the memories began to bombard me once again. Strange memories of that belonged to a person from another world.

"I'm…dead"

The words came from my mouth, but I was not able to hear my voice, the moment it entered my mouth I began to see a faint light in the distance.

I proceeded through the sluggish floor as I pushed on. Before I was lying down in the dirt road, trying to sneak away in the night from the mansion and somebody came after me.

Though who was it? I wasn't able to detect there presence or any sounds, and whatever they hit me with was able to break nearly every bone in my back, rendering me immobile.

I strained my eye to see the bright light, but did it matter anymore? The way that I died, or the person that killed me.

In both worlds I had nothing, no one to protect, and no one that would care that I was gone. Even my honor and pride were nothing, so did it really matter that I was dead.

As I approached the light, I saw two figures. One of them was standing straight up while the other was kneeling.

"Hello!" I yelled out

They began to squirm as the one that was sitting got up and ran to the side of the one that was already standing up.

They began to frantically wave their hands, but I was so far away that I could hardly hear them. Was this what being dead was like?

Maybe now I could be with them again. My friends and all the Jedi that died during the wars, I knew that I was a horrible Jedi but maybe in death I could still find my redemption.

"Isaac" They both screamed out

Wait…there voices sounded oddly familiar, and before I knew it, I broke off into a sprint.

As I approached, I began to see them. There robes, there hair, there faces that I have not seen in so many years.

"Ran…Desaryna!" I screamed out as I felt the tears began to well up in my eye

They were there, in the light. I could see, no I could feel the warmth of the light as I pushed on. And as I got close enough. I saw them all clearly.

Ran still had his long hair, his eyes sparkling from the light, and his robes glistened. Desaryna…she was there.

Her face, hair, and robes shined from the light, like she was the one that was creating it. "Isaac…you have suffered for so long. But now it's okay…" she began to say

"Guys…it's been so long." I tried to say but my throat began to get clogged up

They both smiled at me, so warm and genuine as I began to inch closer and closer into the light. Until I felt it…that chill.

It became very cold, so cold that I had to wrap my arms around myself. Before I was not able to feel temperature but now…

"Isaac…you have to run!" Desaryna screamed as she held out her hand

Something was wrong here…now more than ever, I broke off into a sprint as the cold only began to worsen.

Until I came in range of the light, all I needed was one more step. One more step and I would be able to be with my friends once again.

But a dark mystical purple hand grasped onto me. It's long and slender fingers wrapped its way along my heart and began to drag me away from the light.

"Help…please." I stuttered as my hands shot out

Ran and Desaryna tried to run to my aid but the darkness forbid them from crossing any further. But I tried, I forced my legs to move against this cold and horrid thing.

Even as its grip tightened around my heart. It gripped so hard that for a second, I thought that it was going to burst.

It wedged me into the air as I began to scream. But I could not hear my voice. The only thing I could hear were Desaryna and Ran calling to me from the light as the hand dragged me further into the darkness.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled out as my fist began to bang along the long and slender feelings.

Nothing…nothing, I gripped my satchel and wrestled with the zipper. I practically ripped it open as the contents began to drop into the deep abyss below me.

Though I caught it…I ignited my saber and began to wildly swing around my lightsaber. The blue blade connected with something and I thought I could hear a faint scream.

I fell from the abyss, but my feet connected onto the ground. I readied myself, my lightsaber in both of my hands as I got myself ready in my lightsaber stance.

Another purplish hand came from the darkness. But I was ready, I ducked as it narrowly missed my head and I impaled my lightsaber into its palm.

"Foolish boy…this is my domain; you think a failed Jedi could defeat me!"

Another hand came from right behind me. But I force pushed it away causing the mist of the hand to break upon impact.

A hand came from under me, grabbing onto my right hand causing me to lose my grip from my saber. I did a light toss to my left hand and swiftly slashed the blade through the mist.

Nothing…no one will stop me from seeing them ever again. I do not care if I have to kill legions of the Sith, jedi, or whatever this thing is…my resolve will stay strong.

Five…no eight hands shot out from the darkness, quicker than before as they began to bombarde me with there assault. I gripped my saber with both of my hands as I quickly dodged and cleaved through the hands.

This assault lasted for possibly an hour, or maybe more or less. I guess time in this strange place must have held no bounds.

I was breathing very hard as I vanquished the last hand, no one was ever going to stop me. I held onto my lightsaber, still not wanting to turn it off, I used it as a torch to try and see my surroundings.

"This is a pleasant surprise outcast, you are powerful…more powerful than you ever were before during your reign as a Sith."

Reign as a Sith, how could she know?

"Revan was right about you. Your strength, your will, your abilities, your skills in combat…you are more than capable for the battles that will plague this world."

I stuck my lightsaber into the air. "Revan…where is he!"

The voice chuckled. "Silly boy…you seek revenge after all these years, after all Revan has done for you?"

My mechanical arm whizzed as I squeezed my lightsaber. What did she just say…

"WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME, HE MADE ME FALL TO THE DARKSIDE. BRANDED ME AS A SITH…HE CUT OFF MY HAND AS A PERMANT LESSON FOR A FAILURE!"

The hands shot out from below me, they gripped both of my hands and I was too slow to fight against them.

"Let me go!" I yelled as I tried to twist my body to loosen my grip

But the hands only squeezed tighter as the saber unignited and slipped from my grip. But one of the hands caught it.

The hand brought it too my face and squeezed it. "Don't you dare…"

But it did…the hand squeezed and squeezed until the metal was broken, until the delicate wires were imploded from the metal, and I could hear the faint sound of the crystal cracking.

When the hand was done all that remained was a ball of metal and scraps. "So, the fight has already left you…exile."

I began to thrash around as I felt the force push and pull all around me. The hands began to shake as I felt the power begin to stem all around me.

I used this power only once…an ancient power that put me and anyone around in harms way. But if I was already dead then what was the point?

My chest lurched up as my arms and legs went to my chest. And I felt the force stem from all around me. Force Repulse, a powerful force ability which the user drains all the force energy in an area and implodes themselves with it…causing a massive explosion.

Done wrong it can destroy the user and anyone close to it, done right the user will only feel a tint of exhaustion…a unique and powerful dark side ability.

My feet once again connected to the ground, the beautiful cracks of force lighting beginning to form all along my fingertips…in this hopeless place all my abilities were slowly becoming back.

"For that I will kill you and Revan both…you fucking bitch." I spat out

My will, my strength, the force…is on my side. And just for today…in this strange place, I will fight back once again.

"You have a very dirty mouth outcast…remember anger leads to the dark side."

I began to feel tired as the purple lightning began to dissolve from my fingertips. I collapsed to my knees, the only thing I could see slouched down was the darkness begin to overtake me as I struggled to keep my eye open.

All the force abilities that I have been using, it has been years ever since I used the force like that so it makes sense that I would be near passing out. But damn…what a battle, I sure showed her who was boss.

Hell, I was impressed with myself. Using all those abilities and my lightsaber in combat, I thought before that I was getting rusty but now…

I felt a smirk spread across my face as I lifted my head from the ground. A purple mist, but this one was different from the hands.

Her silvery hair was the only thing that I could see, her pitch-black eyes perfectly blended into the dark atmosphere. But her body was composed of that dark and purple mist, this strange place that was between life and death…

She grabbed into my heart and I lurched back, another hand went to my face as she held onto me. "Mark well and listen Exile…this war is a war that can't be fought alone, this war will require a Jedi to lead an army…this war is a war which you will need a new weapon."

She strained her words on the last second, a new weapon huh.

Her grip began to loosen. "Take this council and use my gift wisely…so you can protect the ones that you hold dear from a horrible fate."

"Gift?" I repeated

But she did not say anything rather everything began to slowly decompose all around me as the world began to shift and reset into something else.

I was dragged back somewhere, back into the darkness without anything to do or go. And all that remained was the twilight and the horrid silence…

…until I opened my eyes to…

Author Note

Hi!

I don't really like this chapter. The main point of it was supposed to be to highlight Isaac's abilities for later on in the story and show how strong he could become. But I really don't like this chapter.

So I leave it up to you viewer...you can count this story as canon or not apart at all. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day.
