Hey everybird! What's up!?

Before we get on to the next chapter, I would like to respond to T8ECR34TOR and Dovahkiin1412, who gave me some good feedback.

So first to T8ECR34TOR, while I do agree with what you're saying, it's kinda of hard to do stuff regarding romance at a K level for me at this point after doing this for more than 4 years. And I will warn you in that in my time travel story, it will be at a T level, for obvious reasons and it will most likely contain only one or two curse words, but it will of course be censored!

Second, to Dovahkiin1412, that was a worry I had about making a dialogue free story, because it is my first time making one, so this story is really like a test to see if it succeeds or not. That's all I will say because today's question is…

How did you like this dialogue free story? Would you like to see another one in the future or would you prefer future stories to have dialogue in them?

I think that's it for now, so enjoy the next chapter!

Chapter 5: Path to the Dark Side

After Jewel and Roberto had viewed the recording that Masters Mimi and Tiago had sent and from the disturbing report by Master Carla, Jewel was standing by a large window, looking out as a rainstorm was going on outside, Jewel's reflection showing as the rain impacted against the glass. Jewel's mind went back to the time when Roberto had gone over to the dark side and she, along with the rest of the council had faced Roberto, saving him by way of the Force. Roberto, knocked out was put into a container, sealed up as Bia checked the instrument reading Roberto's life signs, which were good, Bia nodding to Jewel while Jewel nodded back.

What Jewel didn't see at first was Blu getting the metal pyramid to bring back to the temple, Blu reaching for it, but as he was he felt something strange, like something was pulling him towards something… Blu's eyes shrunk as he felt his heart beat slower, closing his eyes for a solid second to refocus, he put the pyramid into a sealed box while Jewel looked back to check on him. Blu smiling to Jewel to tell her that the artifact was safe. However as Blu walked past Jewel, Jewel felt something was off…

In the days following the confrontation, Jewel was in her living quarters in the temple, wearing a pair of glasses while sewing some clothes. Just finishing up, she hung up her work before turning off her lights and closing the door. Walking through the temple halls, Jewel bowed back to a couple of the older padawans as up ahead she saw her red and white droid companion rolling along on the floor. Wondering what the droid was doing, she walked a bit faster, turning the corner to see Master Blu taking something the droid was delivering to him.

Noticing Jewel, Blu at first was surprised, but smiled as Jewel smiled back, only as Jewel turned back around, a flash of blackness showed as Jewel was very confused. Turning back yet again to see that Blu and the droid were no longer there, like they were just Jewel's imagination, Jewel shook her head, wondering if what she saw was real.

Later, Blu was in his own living quarters, on his computer looking at Roberto's information, grasping as he read something shocking. As he read, Blu heard someone ringing his door as his room door opened to reveal Jewel and Mimi. Mimi holding onto a birthday blower, today being an important birthday for someone as Blu shut off his computer and joined his fellow council members. A couple of days later, as it was stormy outside, Jewel opened Blu's door to see that Blu had fallen asleep by his computer, the red and white R2 unit next to Blu.

The droid beeped with worry as Jewel came to Blu, who was exhausted as Jewel put a wing on Blu's shoulder. Feeling this, Blu woke up with heavy eyes, a weary smile when he saw Jewel as Blu was holding onto the red lightsaber that Roberto was using when he turned over. Jewel smiled, reassured that Blu was just hard at work figuring out how Roberto went over to the dark side as Jewel looked towards Blu's bed, which was all messy. As Blu saw what Jewel was looking at, Blu just smiled and nodded, knowing that Jewel wanted him to get some proper rest.

As a few days passed, the day all sunny, Jewel was currently watching and instructing two older Padawans on lightsaber combat. The two Padawans clashing against each other with their sabers while Jewel watched. As Jewel watched, she felt a familiar bird walk past through the halls outside. That bird in fact being Blu as he was holding onto the same box that contained the mysterious metal pyramid.

As Jewel was just about to go outside the room and confirm what she felt, she heard a soft cry of sharp pain as one of the Padawan accidentally went too far and burned through the other Padawan's pants and cut the skin. Jewel focused on the problem right in front of her as she helped the hurt Padawan up and took her to the medical area of the temple while a ship left the temple's hangar, Blu at the controls.

Back in the present, Jewel came back to reality as she walked back to Roberto, who was busy going over the data that Carla had collected from her search. Roberto was barely holding up his head with one of his wings as he felt his eyes go heavy. Jewel put a wing on Roberto's shoulder as Jewel told Roberto to take a break and a nap. Getting up and stretching, Roberto walked back to his room while Jewel took the seat and picked up from where Roberto left off.

As the hours went by, Jewel going through the data very carefully, her eyes went wide as she found something very revealing and shocking. Looking down at one of the chair's arms, she opened up a holographic communicator, reaching the Master who was in charge of the temple's hangar, telling her to get a ship ready. As Jewel went to the temple hangar, she first talked with Bia, leaving her in charge of the temple until she gets back. As Jewel went over final checks with the Master in charge of the hangar, she entered her ship to see that Roberto was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, fully rested and ready to go. Jewel at first was unsure, but decided it was best to have some help just in case as she got into the pilot's seat and started up the ship.

After a trip through hyperspace, Jewel and Roberto exited out, dropping in orbit around a blue and green world, only as both of them looked up, something was strange, a dark hurricane like storm was circling above the landmass. The masters looked at each other with uneasy faces as they flew down through the storm clouds, breaking the cloud cover as they flew above the surface. Arriving at their destination, they landed, Roberto going outside, looking through a pair of binoculars to look around while Jewel was still in the ship.

As Roberto spotted a temple building up ahead, he saw Master Blu standing just outside by the entrance. Only Blu noticed as he suddenly vanished into thin air, Roberto taking the binoculars from his eyes as they went wide. Jewel didn't see Blu, but she saw Roberto run off towards the temple as Jewel quickly activated a distress signal, hopeful that the other council members would see it.

As Roberto ran into the temple, she came face to face with Master Blu, who was holding out his wing for Roberto to take. Jewel ran inside and showed up from behind as she saw Blu and Roberto. However while Roberto couldn't see it, Jewel could see it and what Jewel saw was a dark version of Blu, tempting Roberto to join him. First taking out her lightsaber, Jewel thought of something else as she took some loose rock from the wall with the force and threw it at Blu. Blu once again vanished into thin air, turning into a puff of smoke as Roberto shook his head, free from the tempting influence as Jewel came up to Roberto, making sure he was okay now, which he was.

Back at the Jedi temple, Bia felt a disturbance in the Force as she dropped a beaker, the glass shattering upon contact with the floor and the liquid it held spreading. Roberto's new Padawan, who was with Bia, came to the Master's side to see if she was alright. Bia snapped out of it as the Padawan softly grabbed Bia's wing and then Bia heard some knocking as the noise made her jump, turning around to see Carla, who was in a Bacta tank, very active now.

Meanwhile with Jewel and Roberto, they entered deeper into the temple, now needing to ignite their sabers to see in the dark hallways as their blue blades lit up. Descending downward, they passed by many paintings of the past history of the Jedi and Sith, Roberto stopping by a painting of the very first Jedi and Sith masters, facing away from each other as they seemed to be holding the universe in balance.

As Roberto kept walking, using the light from her saber to look through the paintings depicting the struggle between the light and the dark, he once again stopped at another painting, this one seeming to be alive as it was a painting of the same metal pyramid Roberto used when he turned. Slowly reaching out and touching it, Roberto's mind flashed back to the past, through the events of the past few months as he didn't realize where he was pointing his lightsaber in reality.

Coming back to the present, Roberto opened his eyes, shocked to see that his saber was crossing blades with Jewel's, if Jewel didn't have her saber already lit, well… Roberto turned off his saber and took a step back as Jewel still had her lightsaber on, keeping it more pointed towards Roberto as she had a rather upset face on, thinking that allowing Roberto to come with her was a mistake. As Jewel was thinking about what to do, all of a sudden touches lit up on the walls, blue fire lighting the way to a room at the end of the hall.

Looking at each other with worry, Jewel and Roberto cautiously walked froward, entering the room, Jewel with her saber still on while Roberto had his' off. As soon as the two were inside, the room door slammed down, trapping the two masters as in front of the two, a cloaked figure, who was kneeing down, rose up. Once fully standing, the figure made the cloak disappear before turning around to reveal himself to Jewel and Roberto.

And the figure was none other than Blu, with his black and red eyes staring at Jewel and Roberto, walking down a few steps towards the two, Blu ignited the red lightsaber that used to be Roberto's as Jewel brought up her saber and Roberto ignited his'. It was time for the fateful duel to begin…

Alright, one last chapter to go!

Will Blu be saved? Will Roberto finally be accepted into the Jedi fully? You'll find that out and more when we get to the conclusion of this tale!

See everybird later!
