"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 Mandalorian 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?"
Chapter 7: Izuku's Training Arc Part 4
Right now the only thing Izuku could think about was how quiet the room was. He had guessed that the man with the T shaped visor helmet was a clone, but he wasn't sure. All that he knew was it was someone his Master had known during the Clone War.
"Did..." Nichos began asking but he found that he couldn't finish his own sentence.
"If you remember what happened Sir... I never got those orders." Church replied with a solemn tone in his voice. "I was just in the dark over what happened on Mygeeto."
"What happened after I had left?" Nichos calmly asked.
Maz decided it would be best if she answered Nichos' hidden meaning behind his question. "Captain Church here landed on my doorstep around a week after Order 66."
Nichos flinched as he nervously and looked towards Church when Maz mentioned Order 66. He relaxed slightly when the Clone Captain didn't react like the others had done on Mygeeto before.
"No one was meant to win the Clone War. It's only purpose was to lead to the downfall of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order." Maz stated to Nichos. "I removed his Bio-chip. Order 66 may at one time took control over his mind but it's no longer the case now. I assure you."
"I couldn't stand it. My brothers and I were bred to protect the Republic and it's people. We had killed and died in the name of the Republic, and it was all for nothing... Our lives were never meant to be nothing else but those of pawns." Church softly spoke out loud. "And because the Empire still use the same codes and transmission frequencies that we used during the Clone Wars... I've been gathering information and providing it to different Rebel cells."
"There's a Rebellion?" Nichos asked with a raised eyebrow. "How big is it?"
"Galaxy wide. However planets that are standing up are all in the Outer rim at the moment." Maz informed Nichos.
"Not surprising." Nichos replied as he took a thoughtful look.
"What do you mean?" Maz asked in confusion.
"It's nearly a mirror image of the Clone Wars. Most of the planets that left the Republic were all in the Outer rim as well." Nichos stated to the group. "What about the worlds within the Mid-Rim? Are they rebelling too?"
"They haven't yet... But they will be soon." Maz informed Nichos. "The Rebellion is still small at the moment. They barely have move than a few dozen rebel cells. However each cell varies in size."
"What's the comparison?" Nichos asked Church.
Church knew what he meant and grinned at his old General. "While they have bigger ships and more solders. They are full of conscripts. They can't hold a candle to how effective me and my Brothers were."
"So you'd say the odds are similar to dealing with those clankers again?" Nichos asked again.
"A bit. Just bigger target to take down." Church answered once more. "Fancy jumping back into the fight?"
Nichos was silent and didn't answer Church at first as he glanced over at Izuku, who seemed lost with the current conversation. "Not right now. Maybe after a bit of time but... I've have Izuku to fully train first."
"I understand Sir. But if it's alright with you. Would it be possible for me to watch over your six while you do so?" Church asked. "I know you might not want to have a Clone near you again and if you want i'll leave but... The Empire killed my Brothers and you're the only one who I can call family that is still left."
Nichos was silent for a long while as he thought about not only the words that Church had just said to him but also the times he had spent with Church. "He's you're friend, isn't he?" Izuku asked in Japanese.
Everyone now looked towards Izuku who seemed to shrink slightly but he continue'd on wither way. "I mean. You fought with him and he didn't attack you back like the others. If Maz says he's good and he's helping a rebellion then he can help you out as well, right?"
Nichos lightly laughed at Izuku's words. "You really are kind-hearted kid." Nichos stated to Izuku before turning back to Church and smiling at the old Clone. "Yeah i'd like to have that, Church. However you'll be helping me teach a few more students along the way."
"What?! You mean were you were has more force sensitive children?" Maz asked with a shocked look on her face.
"No, it's only Izuku. But my current job when we get back is being a teacher at a school called UA." Nichos replied which left Izuku with his own stunned face. Nichos grinned at Izuku before he switched to Japanese. "And I won't be judging the Entrance Exams either. I'm only watching as I'll be getting to know the other staff members."
"So it's a civilian school I take it." Church asked.
"Not exactly... It's a school for heroics. But I'll need to tell you about Earth first. You'll both get a kick out of this. Most humans on the planet have a sort of super power which they call a Quirk." Nichos began explaining to both Church and Maz as Izuku listened on.
(Ilum)
Upon arriving at there last stop before they went back home to Earth, Nichos and Izuku waited for Church to arrive on his own ship. When Nichos noticed the Allanar N3 light freighter which Church had called Brotherhood he started to make his way towards the Jedi Temple's old Ice Cave. As they landed in a clearing near the Cave's entrance Nichos turned to face Izuku.
"You nervous?" Nichos asked with a calming tone to his voice.
"A bit yeah. But i'm also excited." Izuku replied.
"I was the same when me and the other younglings arrived here. Had to think it was so long ago. It would've been nearly 20 years since then. Well before you were born." Nichos explained as they exited the ship. As he left eh ship in his winter coat along with Izuku he pulled out his communicator. "You copy Church?"
"Loud and clear Sir." Church replied.
"All right then. I'll be taking Izuku here into the caves now. Keep an eye for any incoming ships. We don't know if the Empire tracks any Hyperspace activity on this planet or not so we might be getting an uninvited guest. And enough with the Sir. I'm no longer your General." Nichos stated back with a hidden smirk from his coat.
"Can't do that Sir." Church replied with a humorous tone to his voice. "While we might not be in an army anymore, you're still a Jedi hehe."
Nichos chuckled to himself as he pocketed the communicator. "Bastard." He commented in English before turning to Izuku. "Let's get going."
As Nichos approached the cave he noticed that it now had a new entrance that was at ground level. Walking in he could see the Ice crystals appeared to be fresh ice. 'This doesn't seem right.' Nichos thought to himself as he also noticed the giant hanging crystal had collapsed.
Walking over to the chain that used to hold the chain to the cave's roof he noticed that the scars on the metal were those made from a lightsaber. 'Did another Jedi do this to prevent the Empire getting in?' He though to himself as he heard foot steps nearby. Grabbing Izuku he hid from sight. Using the force he pushed the loose snow to cover both Izuku and his own footprints within the temple.
After a few seconds Nichos watched as two storm troopers
"Heat sensors picked something coming from here." A storm trooper stated.
"The Ice is still intact so no one's entered the cave... Must've been an animal." Another storm trooper replied.
"Should we scan to make sure?" The first storm trooper asked. Upon hearing this Nichos grabbed his lightsaber as got himself ready to strike but he didn't need to.
"Forget it. There were no footprints around so it's nothing. We'll report back to base for now." The second storm trooper stated as the two of them turned around and exited the cave.
"That was a close one wasn't it." Izuku stated from his hiding spot.
"Yeah... We'll have to use the other entrance. But the cliff side entrance will be more dangerous." Nichos replied with a worried look to his face. "Or we can make our own here." Nichos stated as he place his hand on the hand that was covered but fallen snow and ice crystals.
Izuku moved around and noticed that the wall was perfectly covered from the cave's entrance. "They won't be able to notice it." Izuku stated as he moved back towards Nichos, he also used the force to cover his footprints.
"Here it is then." Nichos stated as he activated his lightsaber and stabbed it into the tightly packed snow wall. After a few moments the snow was becoming a lot looser as Nichos began to craft a makeshift entrance to the part of the cave where the kyber crystals were.
As Nichos finished the entrance he entered first in case there were any surprises inside. Upon finding none he motioned for Izuku to follow him.
Once Izuku fully stepped inside the cave he felt something calling out to him. He looked around and found it was nearby. Taking a few step subconsciously towards that direction Nichos watched on with a smile on his face. He soon found a crystal calling out to him soon after but this one was directly in front of him. 'That was easy.' Nichos thought to himself as he moved his hand towards the crystal. Pulling out the crystal he held it within the palm of his hand.
As he pushed his will into the crystal he noticed it's colour change from it's clear white base to blue. it was the same colour as his other crystal it seemed. Pulling out his master's lightsaber he sat down into Burmese sitting position he place both the lightsaber and kyber crystal in front of him.
"This is where the fun begins."
(Izuku)
(The Force Theme - Episode 4 OST)
As Izuku moved through the cave he wasn't paying any attention to the crystals that were scattered around him. He was only focused on the crystal that was calling out to him. It was, it was almost as if the crystal itself was singing to him.
The further he moved within the cave the louder it became. Until the singing stopped. He looked down slightly to find that the crystal was right in front of him. Izuku looked on in front of him at the snow white stalagmite in front of him. He held his breath as his right hand slowly made it's way towards the crystal at the tip of the stalagmite. Pulling lightly. Izuku chipped a small piece of the white kyber crystal.
Letting go the breath he was holding Izuku moved the crystal within the palm of his hand with his thumb. "it is it huh..." Izuku softly spoke out loud to himself. Tightly closing the crystal within his hand, Izuku remember his Master's words of moving his thoughts and feelings into his new crystal. Only then would it change colour and fully accept him.
As Izuku done this, he could feel the crystal change within his closed hand. Opening up his closed fist to view the crystal in his palm, he smiled as he noticed it colour had changed. The crystal had fully accepted him.
He never lost his smile as he made his way back towards his Master. When he arrived back he seen Nichos leaning against the entrance they had made. "You find a crystal?" Nichos asked with a smirk on his face. Izuku in reply showed his Master his crystal. "Then you'll start to build your lightsaber here and now then."
"With pleasure." Izuku replied with excitement as he pulled out the box of part that Yoda has given him before they had left Dagobah. Picking out several bland pieces Izuku placed them down in order. He finished by pulling out a long line of brown leather before closing the box.
Izuku then closed his eyes and extended both hands outwards. Soon the scattered pieces, kyber crystal and line of leather lifted up into the air and danced around one another. Slowly each part connected to one another as Izuku moved his fingers like a puppeteer would pull strings on his masterpiece.
Once completed Izuku opened his eyes and with his right hand grabbed his lightsaber. Activating the blade Izuku marvelled at it's blue glow. "It's heavier than I thought it would be." Izuku gasped in awe.
"At first it will be. But soon it will fully become and extension of yourself." Nichos replied to Izuku. "That crystal is an extension of you, just as you are an extension of it."
Izuku slowly began to swing his lightsbaer around in front of him. As he began moving through the basic steps of the Soresu, he would switch his grip from standard to a reverse grip trying to feel which felt the most natural to him.
Settling on a standard grip Izuku deactivated his lightsaber as he turned to face his Master. "It started to feel lighter at the end."
"Good." Nichos replied with a smile as he patted Izuku's shoulder. "You've have begun to synchronise yourself with your new lightsaber. We'll get you to practice more as we're travelling back home to Earth."
"How long do you think it will take me?.. Before it becomes second nature I mean." Izuku asked.
"Everyone learns at different paces Izuku. But as much as I know you wish to rapidly improve, you run the risk of burning yourself out." Nichos stated to Izuku. "It happened to me when I built my first lightsaber. You have a great saying on Earth. It's a Marathon not a Sprint."
(End OST)
Wrapping his arm around Izuku's shoulder Nichos began to guide Izuku our of the cave. "We'd best move. We don't want to leave Church waiting any longer."
As they both approached Horizon Dawn and Botherhood, Nichos' communicator began to call out. "There's movement behind you, get down!" Church shouted out. Reacting quickly Nichos grabbed the back of Izuku's neck and pushed both Izuku and himself down onto the snow.
(Journey to Exegol - Episode 9 OST)
Within a second a speeder flew over their heads and made a sharp turn towards them. Getting up quickly to his feet Nichos used the force to push the speeder up into the air and away from them and the two star ships.
The driver however jumped off the speeder just before it was near the ground. Nichos noticed that he was a green skinned male Nautolan wearing a black military type uniform. "Who the heck are you?" Nichos calmly asked as he held his lightsaber within his right hand but he was yet to activate it.
"I am the Third Brother of the Inquisitorius ... And you Master Jedi, along with your Padawan will be coming with me." The Third Brother stated as he activated his red lightsaber.
Nichos' face took on a grim expression as he moved in front of his Padawan. "Izuku, go to Church's ship and tell him to take off." Nichos ordered Izuku as he activated his lightsaber.
"I won't leave you Sensei. We, we'll fight him together." Izuku nervously replied back, activating his own lightsaber alongside his Master. But was stopped from doing anything else as Nichos used the force to push him away and back towards Brotherhood.
"Not gonna happen Izuku. I promised your mother that I would bring you back home safe. Now get on that ship!" Nichos shouted the last part of his sentence to Izuku, but Izuku remained hesitant.
"Move! I won't say it again!" Reluctantly Izuku nodded to his Master before he followed his orders.
"Impressive, letting your Padawan get away like that." The Third Brother stated with a smirk. "It won't matter though. I will find him."
"No, you won't." Nichos replied as he turned on his communicator. "Church, I want you to take Izuku and go back to where we just came from. Make several jumps in case you're followed. If I don't come back after 24 hours... Izuku knows his way home."
"Understood. Good luck Sir." Church replied as Nichos watch Izuku enter the Brotherhood. With his attention now solely focused on the Third Brother, Nichos entered his ready stance.
Silence fell between the two for several moments before Nichos heard the roar of Brotherhood flying away. With the knowledge of knowing Izuku was safe, he spoke out to the Inquisitor. "Tell me Third Brother... Why serve the Empire? What caused you to turn to the Dark Side."
"Power, Nothing more. Nothing less." The Third Brother stated. "As a Padawan the Jedi and my Master only held me back. I've managed to hunt and kill nine other Jedi. You're death will bring my count to double digits."
"What's your name?" Nichos asked.
"My name is irrelevant at this stage. You won't be sharing it with anyone, and neither will your Padawan." The Third Brother replied with a playful smirk on his face.
"Not if I have anything to say about that." Jumping up towards the Third Brother, Nichos began his clash with the Inquisitor. Keeping their guards high, they exchanged blows left and right.
There blades continue'd to clash as a sparks of red and blue light shined just as the snowy wind started to stir. As the winds picked up it's intensity so too did both combatants as they tried to out counter one another.
Nichos tired to remain calm during the start as he accessed his opponent's combative abilities. After the first few attacks Nichos had a strong feeling that he was the better swordsman as his opponent pushed him back in order to gain breathing room.
"Your use of Makashi is just as good as it was described in your files... It seems this might not be as easy as I once thought." The Third Brother smirked as he brought his second hand onto his lightsaber. "I should've expected such from the great Nichos Marr."
"So you know me then." Nichos replied with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Oh yes. It's well know within the Inquisitorius how you managed to escape Order 66. Tell me... How many Clones did you kill to escape again?" The Third Brother grinned as he spoke. "I mean... You are the Fourth most wanted Jedi on our list."
"Fourth... I would be lying if I said I wasn't honour'd but, I'll have to try harder to become Number One on this list." Nichos replied. "Making taking you down will get me started."
"You'll find that that we Inquisitorius, can be full of surprises!" The Third Brother growled as he activated the other half of his lightsaber as it begun to spin around it's outer rim.
Nichos in a replay to this, dropped his guard slightly as he moved his lightsaber to his right hand. The Third Brother took this opportunity and lunged at his exposed left side. Just about as he was about to make contact and kill the Jedi, Nichos force pulled up his second lightsaber to his left hand. Activating the blue blade of his secondary lightsaber, he held it in a reverse grip he was successful in blocking the attack.
The initial shock from the Nautolan Inquisitor was clear to see in his eyes, as they became wide in disbelief. There was nothing on his report of him carrying a second lightsaber. "Funny... So am I." Nichos grunted through his teeth and he attempted to push back but was unable to muster the power needed. After a tense few moments, Nichos was struggling to hold back the heavy attack with the single blade.
Instead with his free right hand free he thrusted the blade in between the ring and handle of the Third Brother's lightsaber. "Game over."
Slicing outwards with the right blade, Nichos destroyed the handle and outer ring of the Inquisitors' lightsaber. Jumping over the stunned Inquisitor, Nichos crossed his arms as he readied the final blow. Upon landing in one swift motion, he severed the neck of the Nautolan Inquisitor as his limp body feel down to the ground.
With the fight now over, Nichos could feel his blood flowing through him rapidly. Taking a few moments to calm himself down and left his adrenaline to lower, Nichos closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. "I'm sorry it had to end this way. Hopefully now you can rest and become yourself once more, as part of the Cosmic Force."

Right so I have a little bit of news to drop for you guys and galls before I start this chapter's Q&A. I'm excited to announce that I've been asked to write for an independent Comic Book Series. I can't reveal much at the moment but the first 5 issues will be made free to read online. And I believe the First Issue will be released in March and it will be a monthly release. I'll post more details about the story when it's confirmed.
Also, this will in no way effect me writing this story so rest assured since it's a monthly release i'll still be posting on this site.
Now i'm gonna try to preemptively answer a few questions you might've hand over this chapter. Izuku's lightsaber will be heavily based off of Galen Marek's lightsaber, with the exception of a leather strapped handle and the Crystal chamber being cover and not exposed like Galen's.
Now as for the Colour blue. Let's face it. It was the last colour anyone expecting. Most were guessing Green or a random colour but I instead selected Blue as it reflects Nichos teaching to him. However that might change.
Any way without anymore delay here's this chapter's Q&A!
1) Is Izuku gonna meet like and Leia and them? Sorry but the current year within the Story is 7 BBY. So Luke and Leia are only 12 years old at this stage.
2) Is it possible that Kendo or Shinso are in class A instead of Mineta? It's possible, yes. However I can't confirm wither this will happen or not.
3) How good is Captain Church with a Sniper rifle? Little known fact about Captain Church is the reason he is a Captain and not a Commander is because of his record in long range shooting. The more you know...
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!
