Pain and fear
As the ship of the apprentice jumps out of hyperspace, it flies towards the still being completed ship of Vader's the executor. The hanger was opened to the said ship that flies inside it, once so the hanger closed off then once they landed inside the incomplete ship.
Wile the ship was landing, Mikoto began to get undressed then, Taking off her clothing she got from Agamar, which was a purple hoodie with purple sweatpants and dark pink glasses and along with all that was a handbag she used to hide her lightsaber in wile walking around the town and now she out her Gekota in the said bag now and leaves it a area in her ship.
And after that she puts her original gear on then, her imperiel combat uniform, she put her foot where on last then, then the automatic door opens then as Proxy walks in.
"Master, where here." The training droid reports to the Young apprentice.
Putting the foot where on shortly, she turns to the droid then and stands up and walks up then.
"Alright then." Starkiller responds.
She then walk past Proxy and out her part of the ship of the eclipse wile proxy watches. Starkiller then began to make her way out of the eclipse then, the eclipse entrance opened and the ramp laid itself down on the metal floor allowing her to walk way out into the incomplete cruiser. She walks down the halls, of course there was no people in them only droids that where working on the imperial cruiser of the dark lord who is also her master waiting for her in the bridge.
And she arrived there, after passing a astromech that beeped as it passed her, she understands astromechs and to be honest wile under Vader not only did she learn in combat but she learned how to the automatic doors opened , and in the bridge area was her master who was not facing her. He was waiting for her. So she walks in and bows before Vader then as she spoke.
"I have accomplished my mission, my master." Mikoto says respectfully.
"Good." Vader then turns to her. "You did well with assassinating that Traitor." Vader says making Mikoto pleased by this. "And you did well to keep your presence a secret as well." Vader goes on. "You could have even used your lightsaber to have killed him, yet you just deflected his attack back at him and left no evidence of a jedi or yourself there."
Mikoto still bowed as she spoke to her master.
"I wanted to make no mistakes master, this was my first mission you entrusted me with and I did not want to do anything that could mess up my first real test in dealing with traitors to the empire that you assigned me on, I wanted to prove I wont let my feelings get in the way of my goal you gave me" Mikoto speaks honestly, since this was her first mission she really did not want to fail and let her master feel his trust in her was not for nothing.
And she wanted to be ready as well, when she and her master take out the emperor together and bring a end to the corruption he spreads and lets happen in the galaxy and the empire that's meant to bring peace, Justice and security to the galaxy.
She remembers all to well what Vader said to her on that monster many years ago, when she was a child.
Flashback a few years back.
A child Starkiller was explained the failures of the jedi order and now was looking at a hologram of a hooded elderly male human being, Mikoto wondered who this man is that Vader, who is next to her is showing wile having his arms crossed as he and her looked at the elderly man, Vaders breathing being heard
"Master," Starkiller Began looking at the man still. "who is he?" Mikoto asks.
"That," Vader Began. "is the Emperor, Emperor Palpataine, or other Name Darth Sidious my master." Vader explains.
"Why are you showing me him?" Starkiller asked curious, now looking at Vader who did not look at her and still stared at the hologram.
"For a goal." Vader simply says.
"What?" Mikoto asks confused.
"The emperor is the route for the suffering in the galaxy, he is the reason. That so many worlds suffer, some races are even wiped out because of him. All under his rule he dose not care or value those who die under him, he only cares for himself not the well being or order of the galaxy." Vader explained.
Mikoto was horrified by this, and that horror got worst when Vader showed some worlds where some races where wiped out, and lots of worlds that are under brutal imperial rule and inslaved, one planet she saw was geonosis. She may have had no idea what a geonosien is but she felt bad that they where gassed to death.
But then, her horror and pity soon turned to Vader as she glares at him.
"Then, Why have you not stopped him!?" The child asked nearly shouting." You are powerful master! Why have you not killed him! Why did you not end so all this will stop!" Mikoto asks, she was breathing hard but realize what she just said and became fearful as he looks at her, his cold lenses looking right at her"I-Im sorry ma-Master I-" she was cut off.
"I will let that outburst slide." The Dark Lord said, and Mikoto took a breath of relief but listens when Vader speaks more. "As for why I have not ended him myself. I'm not powerful enough to defeat my master." Vader admitted, this ended up shocking Mikoto, For a wile she saw Vader her master as a very powerful being. "but." Now he turns to her. "Together when your ready, after I mold you into a true user of the dark side, with out combined strength we can end the emperor and bring order to the galaxy under a new rule which will bring true order to this galaxy." Vader says. "That training will break you, but I will make sure that you will reach your potential."
Mikoto looks down then, she clunches her fists and when she looks up she glares at the hologram image of the emperor, his smiling face on this holo image sickened her….and that he caused this much pain she agreed with Vader, this was her goal…to bring down this monster, all her Anger, all her hatred because of these atrocities this man done for personal gain, all this anger was focused now all on him. She wanted him…..Dead.
"II...will do whatever I can master, to be strong to take him down." Mikoto says, anger clear in her tone wile clenching her fists and the object making the hologram of the emperor was soon crushed by Mikoto with the force of her anger, buzzing was heard once she did that.
And Vader looks at this pleased.
"Good." Vader says, he has installed the goal to his apprentice mind.
And her hate, Vader knew will make her stronger and as she lets her anger out more and more with the force and her hate. She will be powerful in the Dark side and a powerful being by his side.
End of flashback.
And she never forgot it, and she listens as her master spoke again then.
"And you did well on that, and did well to keep your emotions in check, you will be sent on more tasks by me, for potential targets in the imperial ranks and others threats to the Empire." Vader said. "you will gain the experience from them and learn more on then."
"Yes Master." Mikoto says.
Soon she was Allowed to leave then, when she arrived at her quarters, She cooked some rations she had and ate them, as she was there she was thinking and holding her anger in, she did not want to do these minor tasks, she wanted to get to her final tests so she and her master can put a end to the emperor.
But she she did not argue this with her master, since that would not end well for her. So she just accepted this and on these missions she thinks she can take satisfaction on these missons that she will bring justice to those who betrayed the empire, please her master and come closer and closer to her goal.
But as she ate, a idea then came into her head, she thinks of Vader training her lessons, and Despite Vader's cruel treatment, what didn'kill her made her stronger, even the pain helped as well drive her to become how strong she is now, and knew future leasons from Vader will get her to become stronger.
So, thinking of her pain, Anger and fear during the training she came up with a idea to try to make herself stronger, her own training and she has the perfect person to do so she will listen to Vaders lessons still since his training method is way above hers. But she will give hers a try.
Eating the last of her rations, she presses her wrist com she kept on. She was calling Proxy then, once he got the call he enters in then.
"So master, ready to begin?" proxy asks, he turns into a jedi then with a green lightsaber.
"I don't mean that kind of training Proxy." Starkiller says, much to proxy ccconfusion.
If Proxy had eyelids, he blink right nnow.
Later, Starkiller was in chains because of Proxy, in a dark room with proxy with a staff in hand as he looks at his chained master.
"Master, I know my program is to kill you, but I want to do it in combat not this." Proxy says both expression concern for his master and also not really comfortable with this and he wants to kill his master in combat. "And Master, What will you gain from this?" Proxy asks wile looking at the apart lightsaber on the ground.
Starkiller was chain up and is immobile in the dark only Light in was Proxy glowing optics that where looking at her she had ordered him to deprive her of nourishment until he had successfully assembled a lightsaber through telekinesis, when she first made her lightsaber it was by hand.
"Yes, Im sure Proxy." Mikoto says looking at her lightsaber. "And I want you to every time I fail, to jab me with the staff." Mikoto orders.
"As you wish Master." Proxy says reluctantly, he then activated the staff and now a glowing purple light was seen from the electric energy on the said staff. "Still hope you know what your doing." Proxy says.
"I am." Mikoto says determined.
And with that, they then began with the training she came up with.
The whole exercise was painful, every time Mikoto failed, she was jabbed with the electro staff from Proxy, Every time she failed it only fueled her anger, more and more as she failed and was electrocuted again, and again and again the room brighten each time she was jabbed by the painful weapon she felt the electricity go through her body each time she was hit with the staff. But through all that she kept her cool and did not destroy the chains wile this happened, even wile she was starved after hrs and thirsty as well.
Proxy noticed this, so he did not jab her again and spoke. "Master, I think that is enough, Maybe we-" he was cut off.
"Again…." Mikoto says, Lightsaber parts on the ground after failing to construct her lightsaber with the force again.
"What?" Proxy asks.
"you heard me….Jab me with the staff again, Now." Mikoto demanded, in pain but wanted to continue even through the pain…plus not the first time she was eelectrocuted.
Proxy hesitates, but nodded and hits the staff on her again, she screams in pain, but she embraced the pain through all this. She will get stronger and do any method to do so in any training to do so and endure any pain to do so.
The exercise did appear to be going nowhere Mikoto did feel that this exercise has strengthen her in other ways, each time she became in pain from Vader's training she learned things from him yes, but she also gained high pain tolerance because of it and this her own training if it dose nit help with what its intended for then it will help test that pain tolerance she developed and how far it can go.
On Abafar Kaori was walking still Looking for Index, now she was rushing since she now knows that a clone was here, knowing a Clone was here actually put some pressure on her. Just seeing a Clone actually gave her some anger and worry.
She remember well what clones did to her and her friends and her Master…along with a Dark being with a red Blade, he along with clones killed most of her friends and her master, only she, Index and another made it away from them alive and since the she has tried her best to keep them away from imperials, that is till one imperial a strong like one with a red glowing visor came and got them separated.
And she refuses to lose Index, she just preys in the force, that Index is somewhere safe and sound till she and her friend find her.
Lucky for her, Index was in good hands and a good person, but said Person was covered in bite marks and Index just crosses her arms angrily.
"Ok…I get I deserve some punishment for that sandwich I gave you, but did you really half to bite me multiple times?" He asks wile looking at his wrist that had a bite mark on it, seriously she really bitten him a lot. He was glade that Index teeth did not bite through his skin, otherwise this would have left scars.
"Hmph!" Index lets out. "Your Lucky I did not do worst then that." Index says angry, but calms down. "Still, I will leave soon to find my friends, I only wanted something to eat here…and it was rotten." She says giving a glare as she began to walk downstairs, Still having concern for the girl he follows her.
"Hey, Maybe I can help out." Touma began. "Your clearly new here so I can help guide you around.' Touma offered.
"thanks for the offer, but I can manage on my own don't worry." Index says with a kind smile, she can manage, and also she did not want this guy to get into any trouble as well.
"You sure?" Touma asked, he was making sure of she really didn't want any help.
Once they got downstairs, Index turns to him smiling still. "Yes, I am sure." She replies. "still thanks for the offer." She says as she leans a little. Which ended up with her accidently pressed a button and automatic doors then open. "Huh?" index says after hearing the doors open.
"Oh, you opened his closet." Touma says seeing the closest that is holding his guardians stuff open.
"oh!" Index panics a little. "Sorry about that I didn't mean to intrude on anyone stuff!" Index says apologizing then.
"its ok, you just cant touch or take anything. Or he might break someone in half if his stuff is Stolen." Touma said.
Someone actually did try to steel something here…all the guys fingers where broken and he was begging for mercy.
"Oh he must be ah…." Index voice went off when she saw in the closest, Clone armor. "Tuff….person." Index said now fearful and backing up once she saw the parta of clone armoe and helmet and weapons.
"Yeah. He is an-" He sees Index fearful expression. "hey are you ok?" Touma asks concerned when he saw the fearful expression that Index had once she saw the clone armor and was backing up apon seeing it like she saw a monster.
In Index head, all she was thinking of was fire, gunshots…and dead bodies as a dark figure walks over them with clone troopers with them, and clones gunning down some people there and the Dark figure beheading a adult male.
Touma was about to walk up to her when she didn't respond, but then automatic doors open and who came in was none other then, Bacara and both Touma and Index looks at him then, Index eyes widen more as she saw the former clone commander, she felt like she was seeing a monster, a cold blooded monster.
Bacara sees the girl then, then looks at Touma. "Touma…who is this?" Bacara asks Touma.
"Hey Bacara, we a-" he was about to explain.
But Index, Shouted then. "GET AWAY FROM ME! GET THAT MONSTER AWAY FROM ME!?" Index says like shes in a panic attack as she backs away from both Touma and Bacara
Touma was shocked by Index reaction of panic. "Index? Whats wrong? Why are you panicking?"
Bacara looks at Index then, he wounders why she got a reaction from just seeing him? As he thinks for a wile. He gets a idea as he spoke to Touma seriously. "Touma…get back…now." Bacara says very seriously.
"what? Why." Touma asks.
As for Index, she looks at Bacara with fear then, in her panic she reached for something she had hidden in her clothing then, and what she pulled out made Touma have wide eyes and Bacara glare then once he saw it activated.
"What…is that?" Touma asks seeing what index had.
"that's a Lightsaber….and she is a Jedi." Bacara said not looking fearful of the filmier weapon, that had a green glowing blade from it.
"Jedi?" Touma asks confussed.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME! BOTH OF YOU!" Index says in clear panic, she was scared at seeing the clone…and worried now since her new friend Touma…as in his side.
Unknown to her, and them her feelings where felt by her two friends…and one other who spoke in a female voice.
"Fear….a nice feeling." She says her helmet making her voice sound a little robotic…and with that she goes.
Note: Well heres the next chapter, Mikoto is really trying hard to be strong when in time she and her master face the emperor and Index Met Bacara and Touma finds out something on his new friend.
