Izuku was about to ask another question before a sudden chill crept up his spine. "You feel that?" Izuku asked.
Nichos face became gloomy as he faced the ground. "Yes."
"I feel cold... But my sweat is steaming off me so I know that I'm not cold." Izuku replied.
"That is the Dark side Izuku." Nichos stated as he pointed towards a nearby cave. The entrance of which that sat at the base of a tree. "This is your final test Izuku... You have to go in there."
Izuku looked on confused until he noticed the unspoken worry on his master's face. "What's in there?"
Nichos was silent after Izuku asked that simple question. For several moments nothing was said between the two. No animals nearby made any sound either. The wind wasn't blowing. Izuku couldn't even hear his master's breathing. They were only surrounded in total silence. "Only what you take with you."
Chapter 6: Izuku's Training Arc Part 3
Hesitantly Izuku slowly entered the cave just under the tree. After the first few steps inside the light from the cave's entrance disappeared behind him. "Sensei?" Izuku asked out loud but he heard on response.
Despite the total darkness that surrounded Izuku he could still see clearly as a thick fog began to descend around him. That was when Izuku's vision began, with a faint sound of clapping he heard a sinister voice call out to him. "Bravo, bravo... It's a shame that this power of yours isn't a Quirk... I'm sure I would've made good use of such power."
Izuku turned to look at the owner of the voice. He found a man wearing a black suit and white shirt but with no tie. But what shocked Izuku was the mask he was wearing. It's main design was that of a navy blue skull-like gas mask with angular pipes at the top. Just below the mask there was a wide collar that appeared to be a life-support system around his neck with multiple other pipes connecting to the front and back of the collar.
Izuku had never meet this person before but as the fog expanded around the man he could see other figures emerge. One of the new figures was All Might and his own Master. He then noticed another figure, like the other villain, it was another person he didn't recognise.
This new Villain was also wearing a mask but this one was of a much more simpler in design, it was a simple black mask with a red cross like design on it's face. But Izuku also noticed something else about this man... There was a lightsaber in his hands, and the blade's colour was red.
"As promised Inquisitor. The Jedi is now before you." The first masked man spoke out as the vision faded leaving Izuku confused to it's meaning.
"Please... Leave my family alone." Another voice called out behind Izuku. This voice he knew instantly was the voice of his mother.
He turned around and found his mother standing in front of one of the villains from before. The one with the red cross on his mask. "I cannot do that. You see, your son is a Jedi and therefore is a traitor to the Empire... While I cannot get to him directly to him through his school. I can make him come to me... Through his family!" The man activated his red lightsaber as the vision ended.
However as the vision faded from view, Izuku noticed a figure hiding behind his mother. It was a little girl with black and green hair. "Who was that behind my mother? I don't have a sister?" Izuku asked out loud before another the next vision began.
Izuku once more turned to find himself in this vision. He was currently lying with his back on the ground. He watched on as the vision Izuku was slowly trying to back away. This is when he heard the sound of heavy mechanical breathing along with heavy footsteps.
Then once more, a new person was shown to Izuku. This man was taller than the rest of the other shown. His helmet was much more intimidating. This mask's design was clearly based off a face, although it's jaw and mouth were very sharp. The mask itself was pure black and mtached the rest of his clothes. When the figure spoke it held a deep and powerful voice. "You have fought well for a young Padawan... Perhaps I should make you MY apprentice."
"NOO!" Izuku noticed his Master jump in front of the man and began to fight him. "IZUKU! RUN!" Nichos shouted to Izuku as the vision faded away.
"Impressive isn't it." Another voice called out to Izuku, however this one was his own. Izuku didn't need to turn this time as a figure walked through the currently fading vision, right towards him.
Izuku's eyes widened as he witness the figure's face. It was him, however the figure's eyes were no longer green. Instead they were a sickly yellow with a red outline. "What's wrong? Has a Cat caught your tongue?" The figure asked out loud.
"So you're not another vision then?" Izuku asked with a little hesitancy.
"Well, technically I am... But i'm also not." Dark Izuku responded back with a evil looking smirk on his face.
"Then, who are you?" Izuku asked but the firgure rushed to Izuku face and tightly grabbed his neck and lifted him up into the air with a tight grip.
"I'm you! You fucking idiot! WHO ELSE WOULD I BE!?" Dark Izuku roared back at Izuku before he let go of his throat, dropping him back to the ground he immediately began coughing.
"Kaachan was right. We really were weak and pathetic. No wonder All Might looked down at us." Dark Izuku stated with a snarl as Izuku tired to catch back his breath.
"You're wrong." Izuku responded back.
"What!?" Dark Izuku asked with a growl in his voice.
"I said that you're wrong!" Izuku responded back louder this time. "All Might may not have backed us, but he did it knowing that I could've been hurt or killed. But Sensei saw something in us. And you know as well as I do that we'll never be able to repay him for that."
"Sensei was a fool as well." Dark Izuku responded back. "He may have took us in, but he didn't teach us everything! The Dark side is more powerful than you can possibly imagine. The Dark side will allow us to hold unlimited power."
Dark Izuku continued as he extended his hand out towards Izuku. "Join me, let us become one and I can show you how powerful it truly is... With the power of the Dark side under our command we can rule Earth and force those who looked down at us before, to bend to their knees before us!"
"Never." Izuku instantly responded as Dark Izuku began to fade away. "All my life, all I ever wanted was to be a Hero. The Dark side will only make me become a Villain."
"A Hero huh... Then you are a fool." Dark Izuku stated back as he faded away. "Soon I will have control." Once the Dark version of Izuku was gone the light from the Cave's entrance came back allowing Izuku to leave. When he walked outside he noticed the still worried look on his master's face.
When Nichos noticed the green eyes of Izuku in heavily sighed in relief. "It's good to see you made it back Izuku."
"How long was I gone?" Izuku asked.
"Just over an hour or so." Nichos answered back with a raised eyebrow before a concerned look to over on his face. "What's wrong?"
Izuku sighed as he sat down beside his Master and explained everything that was shown to him within the Cave.
(Next Morning)
"So Izuku's visions appears to be involving from his description All for One, his mother, me, an unknown girl with black/green hair and two other men in masks that either he or I know." Nichos stated to Master Yoda as Izuku slept. "I'm guessing one of these men is the Sith Lord Vader you told me about."
"Possible it is. However you mustn't face him." Yoda stated to Nichos.
"Why Master?" Nichos asked in confusion. "Is it because he killed Anakin?"
"Failed to kill him, Master Kenobi did. You have not yet regained the same connection with the Force that you had before. Lose, you will." Yoda answered back. "Then Izuku will be without a Master to finish his training. No longer can I train the boy, too old I am."
"I think it would be best to end our time here. I'll be taking Izuku to Ilum, to the crystal caves." Nichos replied back. "But first I'll have to learn a bit more about this Empire."
"Yes, but be careful. Many hidden Jedi, they have found." Yoda stated with a worried tone to his voice.
"I'll be careful especially with Izuku along with me. I promised his mother that I'd keep him safe after all." Nichos replied back with a smirk to Master Yoda causing the former Grand Master to roll his eyes in response.
"Hey kid, wake up." Nichos softly spoke as he lightly rocked Izuku awake.
"I'm up. I'm up." Izuku groggily responded as he sat up. "What's wrong?"
"Your training here's over kiddo. Get ready as we're gonna be leaving soon." Nichos responded as he made his way out towards the exit of Yoda's home. "Goodbye Master." Nichos nodded towards Yoda as he crawled out of his master's home.
As he left Izuku turned to face Master Yoda. "Did Master tell you where we're going?"
"To complete the last part of your training young one." Yoda replied back with a kind smile. Yoda then shuffled over and pulled out a small box from underneath his bed. "Here, take these. Need them, you will."
Izuku opened the box and found that it was fulled of broken parts. "I don't understand Master, but thank you."
"You best hurry. A long journey you have ahead of you. Izuku Midroiya of Earth." Yoda stated as Izuku made his way out of Yoda's home. "May the Force be with you."
"Thank you Master... Will we ever see you again?" Izuku asked.
"Hmm, who knows. Mysterious the Force is." Yoda replied back with a smirk as he poked Izuku out of his home. "Go, go. Do not keep your Master waiting."
"See you later Master Yoda, May the Force be with you." Izuku stated back to Master Yoda as he began walking towards Horizon Dawn.
As Izuku moved towards the ship he noticed he entrance ramp was down. When he entered the ship he closed the entrance ramp as Nichos exited from the captain's quarters. He was no longer in his Jedi robes. Now he was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a plain red t-shirt underneath a black leather jacket. Within the jacket Izuku noticed what looked like a gun but didn't bring up any comment on it. "Where's your lightsaber?" Izuku asked.
Nichos smirked as he pulled back the jacket's right sleeve, showing the sword's emitter to Izuku. "Never leave home without it." Nichos smirked back and he pulled down the sleeve to hide his weapon. "You'll need to change as well. You'll be spotted as a Jedi with those clothes on. And you'll need to wear a hat or helmet to cover your hair. I may have something in one of the ships's storage rooms."
"Where about are we going to Sensei?" Izuku asked.
"Two places. First off we're going to Takodana, I need to get into contact with an Info Dealer that I knew during the Clone Wars. Hopefully we'll be able to get some information from her over the Empire and refuel before heading off to Ilum." Nichos answered as he made his way to the Dawn's cockpit.
"How long will it take us to get there?" Izuku asked as he moved towards his own room to change.
"About an hour long jump in Hyperspace. Once we're there we should be there for two hours at most, We don't wanna stay there too long just in case. I'm just deleting our Nav-Computer's last few entries and fuel logs. That way if any is snooping around the ship while she's refuelling they won't be able to get to Earth or Master Yoda."
"What is the Empire's already there?" Izuku shouted out as he began changing his clothes.
"It's a pirate world kid. The Republic didn't care about it but if the Empire's there and they're after Maz, well... What your definition of fun." Nichos responded as he got the ship to take off.
(Takodana)
As Izuku and Nichos exited Horizon Dawn Izuku was now wearing nearly the same outfit as Nichos however he was wearing a green turtleneck. He also wore a bandana on his head and had wrapped his Padawan braid underneath it.
As the two of the walked up to the Castle, Izuku looked around nervously as he was looked at all the different alien species he was seeing for the first time. Feeling the anxiety from his Padawan, Nichos stopped Izuku before they entered the Castle. "Right. I'll be doing the talking, okay?"
"Y-yeah." Izuku nervously responded.
"Oh and play along with what ever happens." Nichos quickly stated to Izuku as he moved towards the Castle doors.
"Wait, what!?" Izuku nervously shouted as Nichos entered the Castle. Izuku ran after him and noticed that they had actually entered a bar.
Nichos looked around trying to see if he could spot Maz and after a few seconds he noticed her behind the bar itself. "Hey Maz!" Nichos shouted out getting her attention. He seen Maz look up towards his direction and seen her go wide eyed as he smirked back. "Get any jobs for your old crew mate?"
Maz was silent for a few moments before she angerly shouted back. "Why you!" Maz then got up from behind the bar and marched over towards Nichos who grin had dropped and was starting to look nervous. "You cause me a lot of trouble after that last stunt you pulled!"
"So... I can see you're still mad about that." Nichos nervously stated.
"Mad! Of course i'm kriffing mad you Laserbrain!" Maz snapped at Nichos before she grabbed Nichos by the ear. "You're coming with me!" Maz shouted as she dragged Nichos by the ear.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Nichos complained as Maz wasn't stopping. Soon she threw him into a back room behind the bar.
"Oh shut up!" Maz shouted at Nichos before turning to face Izuku. "Jyson! I'm sorry to drag you into this, with the sorry excuse of a spice runner that your father is. But get over here!" Maz shouted at Izuku who nervously nodded back before quickly and silently kept his head down as he walked towards Maz.
As Izuku got to the back room door Maz softly put her arm around Izuku. "It is good to see you though sweetie." Maz softly spoke as she lead Izuku into the back room. "Now, Tell Granny Maz what stupid decisions your father's been recently making. And how much trouble he's in."
With Maz closing the door behind her she knew they would not be overheard back here. "Dammit Maz... That actually hurt." Nichos complained as he began to rub the ear that Maz had pulled.
"Good!" Maz replied with a stern look on her face before she smiled back at Nichos. "While it is good to see you Nichos. And that you've moved on and have a son. However it was stupid for you to come here to me. The Empire is after all living Jedi. Even those who turned away from the Order."
"Well, the kid's not my son." Nichos stated to Maz. "Izuku, meet Maz Kanata. Maz, meet Izuku Midoriya. My Padawan." Nichos introduced both Izuku and Maz to one another as he was still rubbing his ear. Maz's eyes went wide as she examined the boy in front of her.
"H-hello It's nice to meet you ma'am." Izuku stated as he bowed in front of Maz.
Maz smiled back as she patted Izuku's shoulder. "And it's wonderful to meet you too Izuku. But I must say I can't pinpoint the origin of that name." Maz's face turned into a more thoughtful expression.
"Well that's part of the reason i'm here." Nichos explained to Maz. Turning to face the Jedi Knight she put her full attention on Nichos. "Izuku here is from an uncharted planet in the Outer Rim. They have no knowledge of the Republic, Clone Wars or basically anything off-world. You most likely felt a disturbance in the force a few months ago right?"
"Yes..." Maz replied before she put two and two together. "You mean..."
"Yeah, that was Izuku." Nichos confirmed Maz's thoughts. "After I crash there escaping the Clones I lied low. I was lost during that time but Izuku here pulled me out of that rut." Nichos stated back as he rubbed his Padawan's hair.
"And since I don't know anything about the Empire I need your help on that front. I know a bit but it's not enough to protect Earth, Izuku's home planet." Nichos explained to Maz.
Maz was silent for a while before she picked up a near by stool and handed it to Izuku. "Here child, it's would be best if you sit down as this might take a while."
Izuku smiled at Maz as he sat down on the stool he was given. "Right, the first thing that you will need to know is who will be after you. They are called the Jedi Hunters or Inquisitors and that you are apparently on there top 5 list of Jedi who survived Order 66."
"So that's what the Clone uprising was called." Nichos softly stated.
"That reminds me... How did you survive it?" Maz asked in curiosity.
Nichos was silent as he didn't want Izuku to know yet. Of what he had done to survive, so with a sad smile he stated. "I had no choice, but to do what I had to do... But I wasn't quick enough to save Master Mundi."
"Are these the nightmares you have?" Izuku asked in Japanese but instantly covered his mouth once he had said it. Maz however didn't understand what Izuku had just said but took a guess by the response Nichos gave to her question.
"You have PTSD... He asked about Nightmares I take it?" Maz asked.
"Yeah..." Nichos answered before he lightly smiled as he looked at Izuku. "I'll tell you about it someday... But, I can't tell you right now."
"Okay... I'm sorry for bringing it up." Izuku softly apologised.
"Don't apologise Izuku, I would've been a lot worse if you didn't show up. I have to thank you for that." Nichos replied back with his own smile before he turned back to Maz. "Do you know what caused the Clones to act in the way they did?"
"All Clones had a Bio-chip installed in there head by the Kaminoans. Once the words Execute Order 66 was issued all Clones were to run on their Jedi General and Padawan Commanders." Maz explained before she pulled out a communication holoprojector. "However if I'm going to explain any more to you I will have to bring in one of a informants."
Activating the holoprojector Maz's face became angry. "Get in here, He's being stubborn." After that Maz ended the message as they waited for a few moments.
Then a man wearing Mandalorian Armour walked into the back room and stared directly at Nichos. "It's good to see you again, Sir."
"I'm sorry Mandalorian but I can't remember your armour... What clan are you from?" Nichos asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Now Nichos, i'll need you to remain calm at this point." Maz stated to Nichos which caused his eyes to widen.
As the Madalorian removed his helmet, Nichos looked on at the face of a man who appeared to be entering his 60's. He was a clone and Nichos knew him. "Church?"
DUN DUN DUUUUN! And Cut! So, a cliffhanger... What a cunt.
So another one bites the dust! gonna be taking a little short rest before the next chapter is posted Sorry. But for this Arc we will still have another chapter or two before we begin the UA Entrance Exams.
And now for this chapter's Q&A!
1) Is Izuku's lightsaber going to be green? IT may be but you'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out.
2) How strong is Izuku going to be compared to Star Wars characters? This is a bit of a tough one. In terms of his canon self it's much easier to confirm that as while in terms of raw power he's weaker, but overall he is more powerful. But in comparison to a Star Wars Characters. I'd say the easiest to compare him against would be Ezra Bridger in the 6 months between Rebels seasons 2 & 3.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. No spoiler question though. they won't be given full answers. But anyway thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
