Authors note: This is basically Cye remembering a chunk of his past, on Mustafar as he was alone for along time and had noone to speak to.

SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE OF CYES PAST.

the first number in the ages are Cyes natural ages, the second is with his two years of excelerated growth.


FOUR/SIX YEAR OLD CYE

''Take him to the shuttle Geoff and put this in with him" The Emperor commanded in a disgusted tone as he forced Keeper into Geoff's arms, [Keeper was a battle Droid untill the sith take-over.] After Geoff buckled the six year old into his seat he gave him a apologetic look before moving Keeper into the pilot seat and activating him. As the Emperor left the docking platform on Kamino's cloning facitlity, rain poured down from his withered finger tips and from his nose, the child struggled in his seat as the Emperor left him on a unknown shuttle heading god only knows where. Geoff then spoke with Keeper;
"Keep him safe, keep him hidden, Keep him alive, keep him healthy, keep him away from Palpatine and Vader, Keep him from the force and keep him away from the rivers." Geoff commanded
"Roger Roger"
"Your new designation is Keeper."
"Roger Roger"

EIGHT/TEN YEAR OLD CYE.

The young child sat staring at the slowly flowing Lava infront of him, heating him up, daring him to try to jump across it to the other bank of the river. Yet he knew better than to try such a dangerous thing but it didn't stop him thinking it would be fun.
Keeper, The boy's droid had always told him not to go near the lava as it will take a whole leg off when it gets a chance, yet the idea of jumping across the river was appealing to eight year old Cye Sericius.
"What harm could it do? I'm never going to get off this rock anyway." Cye murmured before he decided he would jump across this Lava river as he had nothing to loose, so Cye ran inside the structure he slept in and before Keeper could realise he turned him off.

Cye then rushed back outside to the river of boiling hot Lava, he pulled his boots back on propperly and fastened his black lightsaber hilts on propperly before he ran up the hill and then ran back down suddenly turning into a Jump and before Cye knew it, half of his left boot was burnt off yet he was on the other bank of the river, on this side he could see a larger building to his damaged one, he ran over to it like a battering wind and kicked the door open, inside he found several more 'Keeper Units' which were really old battle droids, he activated three and began to dictate what he wanted them to do, yet he suddenly realised their big black blaster rifles and knew they we not like Keeper. As they thought him to be a Jedi they open-fired on the young boy, yet he swung his red lightsabers infront of him blocking their fire and destroying one, then he destroyed another yet his over confidence was his weakness as the final droid injuried him superficially on his left arm, so Cye became angry and cut the droid up so precisely and damagingly that the droid had been split into hundreds maybe even thousands of tiny two centimeters by two centimeters cubes, Cye calmed and found these small cubes fun as when he threw them they landed differently, so Cye opened his small pocket and filled it, then his other pocket, then his right boot and then he stuffed some inside of his robes.

Cye then jumped the river perfectly and fixed his boot as best as a eight year old could before he woke Keeper, then he dashed into the attack planning room and sat on the console that he used as a bed, he then put symbols on each face of a cube with his lightsaber yet his arm began hurting worse and worse so he became scared, yet when he looked three hours or so later, their was no evidence of any wound ever existing, so Cye went back to creating dices and piling them high in the storage under the console where his bedding was kept safe from any visitors to the hell like planet he called home.

Cye then realised that he must have advanced healing in his DNA 'cocktail'.

A week later Cye had taken four or five of his dices out to the river to play with as his boredom couldn't be cured by watching the old security tapes of a tall man dressed in black slaughtering seperatists and laying waste to the facility, Cye had forgotten that Keeper didn't know of the dices he had made from the old droid unit so he played with them openly.

"Seven, Nine, Four, Two?"
"Keeper?"
"Where did, you get those cream coloured cubes from?"

Cye then remember that Keeper knew nothing of his trip across the lake or about the battle droids he had found there, Cye's face burned red as he didn't know how to lie, all though now he wished he had learnt.

"Th-The Droid."
"What Droid Forty-Two?"
"The Droid that looked like you."
"Forty-Two, Don't lie I am the only Droid here."
"No, you're not keeper. Across the lake, in the building there are several more like you except, their chest plates aren't orange like your's is"
"Cream?"
"Y y yes, how did you know?"
"Forty-tw-"
"MY NAME IS CYE!" Screamed the eight year old as he threw the dice's into the river and jumped over it.
"Forty-Two get back here!"
"WHY I AM NEVER GOING TO GET OFF THIS ROCK!"
"C-c Sye, get back here!"
"IT'S CYE! WITH A CEE! NOT A S!"
"Can not compute."
"ARGH!" Screamed the boy as he leapt up into the air and kicked out with the force knocking Keeper to the ground, proud of his accomplishment, Cye then raced to the Large building and activated three more droids, with the intention of desimating the supply of droids, yet though angry he was he knew that he couldn't take them all on and live. Easily.
