The Force Shall set me free

Chapter 6

Blake lowered her head in shame as Jaune approached her, she didn't know why but she felt the air around him suffocating and his eyes seemed to glow yellow in the dark. She wanted to apologize for spying on him but her words couldn't leave her throat for some reason, but to her surprise he simply placed a hand on her shoulder and said "Sorry if I woke you up, see you tomorrow" and left the room acting like nothing major had happened. Blake let out a breath that she didn't know that she was holding in and tried to pinpoint a reason why she was so nervous. Her eyes wandered towards the floor and she managed to see with her heightened senses something so small and yet so telling. A scorched tile still emitting faint smoke, hidden away in the corner. Jaune had a bizarre aura, one that she did not understand and… it interested her.

"You should have killed her" Nihilus said making Jaune cringe, the spirits had been quiet as soon as Blake showed up and had remained that way the entire day, not even when he tried to reach them. Now that night was about to fall and he looked towards Vale they had made their presence known once again reminding Jaune that they do not fade.

"I couldn't just kill her, she is a friend" Jaune replied as he stared from his dorm towards the city, Ragnos was the next one to speak "A Sith has no friends, you can't give yourself the luxury of being weak. The fall of the Sith is not only found in their ambition but also in their inability to see threats right underneath their nose"

Jaune let out a sigh "She knows nothing"

"For now" Nihilus replied, his scowl could not be seen but it could definitely be felt. Jaune nodded "If it comes to that… I will deal with her" that seemed to be enough for the ancient Sith as they grew quiet once more. Jaune looked at Vale once again and made a choice cloaking his presence as his masters had taught him and he left Beacon. Vale was calling to him and the Force would not be denied, it was as if he was suffering from a disease that rendered him numb to any thought, only the calling of the force was present in his mind. It didn't take long for him to reach the city, but instead of comforting him it only made him feel the echoes in the force grow louder. Jaune didn't even notice that night had fallen, he had walked without a rest towards the docks as if possessed. Once he had reached his destination Jaune felt his senses come back to him and he looked around in confusion. Why was the force calling him to this place, there was nothing here.

"Nothing but rotten fish" he commented as he wrinkled his nose at the sight of dead sea creatures and then it hit him. The main docks where usually very well kept, meaning that he was somewhere near the outskirts of Vale and judging by the looks of it not many people ventured to this place. He felt sorrow, pain and fear approach him and so he hid himself beneath the boards of an old boat. A truck had arrived near the docks.

"You said that he would be here on time" a gruff voice said, Jaune felt hatred, avarice and lust coming from that one.

"He might have run into some issues" another voice said, this one emanated disinterest and greed. "But is really not a problem, as long as he comes to pick up the cargo"

There was a pause but then laughter followed "Do you mind if I… go play with the goods, you only need the organs after all don't you?"

"As long as the heart, lungs, liver and brain remain intact I quite frankly don't give a damn about what happens to the cargo" the other voice replied as he walked to the other side of the dock. Jaune felt his stomach do a flip when he reached with the force and found more people all tied up inside the truck that they had parked.

He couldn't leave them like that, that's not something a student of Beacon would do, he exited his hiding place alarming both thugs. They were not impressed by the young boy before them.

"Looks like you got yourself another pair of organs my friend, this one looks a bit pale but he will do" nw that he got a good look at them Jaune felt slight unease, one was a giant of a man almost doubling his size, his skin was covered in scars of battles fought and the shaven head made him look like he had just gotten out of prison, the other was a sharply dressed man with a large pistol on his hand and on the other there was a cane that the Force screamed at him that it was dangerous.

Jaune let out a sigh and prepared himself "Leave and I will not kill you"he said to them making the sharply dressed man shoot at his feet.

"You are in no position to make demand boy, beat him, but make sure that he does not die we need him alive"

The thug smiled as he made his way towards Jaune, but his smile faded when he saw Jaune snarl at him "The ones in the truck… they are just kids"

"Makes you sick doesn't it?" the man said with a twisted smile.

"No, it just makes me feel HATE!" Jaune screamed and blasted him with electricity making the thug scream in agony, he fell to his knees but Jaune didn't have time to finish him off.

The force told him to ignite his lightsaber and block and s he did. It melted the bullet that was fired his way making the man scoff "Fancy blade you got there"

Jaune didn't answer him but he did feel the arrival of many people and so had the other person "Thank the gods" was all that he said as he fired into the air drawing the attention of the approaching boat.

Jaune had no time to think what to do, he was grabbed by the neck by the thug who had recovered "You think you are funny you piece of sh…" the sharply dressed man took a step back as he saw the strongest man he knew be choked by an invisible hand, Jaune rubbed his neck and let out a sigh.

"I will give you that one you did catch me by surprise" Jaune said as he let go of the man's throat "But that really does not matter now does it?" Jaune said as he brought his lightsaber down. There was a flash of red followed by a scream that pierced the night, Jaune blocked another bullet that was fired his way and this time he reached with the force and crushed the weapon. The man prepared his cane and Jaune understood why it was dangerous, unlike the famous Roman this cane was no gun.

"Eat this you monster!" he said as he fired at him, Jaune felt the projectile and grabbed it mid air with the force making it levitate. Not knowing what it was he send it back towards him hitting square in the chest. He screamed in pain as acid corroded his body, eating away at his flesh and bone, normally Jaune would have been repulsed by the pain of other people but this… made him feel power.

"Going somewhere?" Jaune asked as the thought tried to limp away holding his stump, he looked back terrified as the shadow with the yellow eyes aproached him.

"Please have mercy!" he managed to yell out, Jaune shook his head "There is no mercy, not in my world" Jaune then cut his other arm and his legs savoring his pain. As the man screamed in bloody agony Jaune reached with the force and lifted him.

"Die like you lived… vermin" and with that Jaune cut him in half.

Satisfied with his work he turned to look at the other guy who was screaming for help, the boat had arrived and a dozen faunus descended. White Fang he realized "Please help me this man is going to kill me" he screamed as he held his chest in Faunus didn't help him but they did look at the cargo, one shot to the head and the human was no more leaving the docks with only Faunus and one Sith.

"We need not be enemies, we can pay you big money, you can go in peace"

"Peace… is a lie" Jaune said and he ignited his lightsaber once more, the Faunus shot at him but no bullet reached him, he held them with the force and dropped them to the ground. He was then charged by a moose faunus which he quickly cut in half.

"Retreat start the boat!" the leader yelle as they kept shooting at him to stall him, Jaune ket approaching them annoyed at the barrage of bullets, he felt the boat start to move and frowned. They would not get away he said to himself and with a bit of creativity he pulled the broken pieces of the dock from their place and launched them towards the boat, shaking it but not damaging it enough.

Jaune frowned and looked around and then he let out a cruel smile.

"WHAT THE HELL!" one Faunus managed to scream before they were hit by a container on the side of the boat sinking them almost immediately, the faunus tried to swim ashore but Jaune was waiting for them.

"There is only passion" he said as he raised his hands and fired electricity at the water making the Faunus scream as their muscles cramped and they started to lose control of their legs and arms "Through passion strength" Jaune continued as the Faunus started to die by the electricity their eyes popping like balloons tainting the water red "Through strength POWER" the lucky ones that didn't die by the bolts started to drown as the let out a silent scream under the water "Through power I gain Victory" he said as he lowered his hands and looked at the lucky one that managed to reach the shore he was badly burnt and he was missing half his arm and part of his face, Jaune assumed that he was launched here by the crash that he had caused "through victory my chains are broken" he said to him not caring about the stream of tears that was going down its face. With a final slash by his lightsaber he said into the night "The force shall set me free"

Jaune looked back at the truck and shook his head he would not be seen by them, the kids wouldnt understand the faint sound of sirens reached his ears and he let out a relieved sigh at least they would be in good hands. Jaune let out one last glance and found something, a young Faunus had survived. He looked young and scared Jaune grabbed him by the neck and made him walk towards him "Don't make me regret leaving you alive" and with that he dropped him leaving towards Beacon, the force enveloping him in the dark.
