As I exited the Barracks, I noticed a presence. They seemed to not be on the side of the Jedi. I knew I had to use the techniques I learned with my aura to mask my radiance. I didn't want to fight anyone from my past right now, though they shouldn't notice us. I tried to put my mind to ease, but it only shifted to my past.

"I'll never forgive you."

"Here you go, son," the cheerful blacksmith exclaimed. I jolted back to reality and looked blankly at the blacksmith. "You ok, Ethan?"

"Yes…sorry, I was just thinking." I quickly paid him while glancing at my new weapon, though it didn't look right to me. I would have to get use to it´s more permanent blade. I had asked the to make me a modded lightsaber. I thought I would have to explain, but he seemed to understand. The difference between a normal saber and this one was the permanent blade and the many, and I mean MANY, guns that are built into it. I tried to take the saber, but he kept a firm grip on it.

"If you ever need someone to talk to," the blacksmith stated sincerely, "I will listen." He let go of the saber and gave me my sheath. I equipped it and holstered the deceiving weapon.

"I'll keep that in mind," I responded as I left the shop.

I checked my scroll to see that it was now 11:30. I wanted to hit up a nearby dust shop before heading home, my new saber may be cool, but will require a lot of tedious maintenance. The core was powered by an intricate set of wires and at their core, a dust crystal. He had given me one for free, but I knew it would quickly wear out.

As I approached a corner, I saw flashes of light coming from the perpendicular street. I peered around the corner to see a fight taking place. There was a girl wielding a red scythe fighting a group of lackeys while their boss watched. I began to run towards the fight, trying to help whoever was defending the shop, but noticed that it was already taken care of. The scythe-wielder had subdued the grunts and was pursuing their leader. I decided to go check on the owner, but noticed a threat for a nearby alley.

"Hands in the air, give me everything you have!"

I looked down the alley to see a robbery taking place. The victim was smirking at me. I returned the look as I recognized my sister, Leaf Emerald. I enter the alley and drew my weapon.

"Sir, If you wouldn't mind stepping away from my sister. I do believe she finds your attention a shade annoying." The robber looked at me in shock, but soon after whistled. A group of criminals entered the alleyway behind me. I nodded to Leaf and her assailant got a quick slash to the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. The lackeys looked warily at us as Leaf walked next to me. I armed my weapon to SR mode and prepared to fight.

"Set blades to stun," Leaf joked.

The lackeys charged at us, the first approached me with a hatchet. I fired a sniper round into his shoulder and he dropped to his knees in pain. I used my sword to knock him out and prepared for my next victim. This one had a machete and he attempt to decapitate me. I activated my blade to ignite with plasma. His blade was cut through like butter as I blocked the futile attack. He staggered back in fear as I returned my blade to SR mode. He suffered the same fate as his ally. I saw that Leaf had easily taken out the other three criminals.

"Well that was boring," said Leaf. She had always been quite smug. She deactivated her sabers and allowed them to return to her arm guards. "what are you doing up?"

"I couldn't sleep again, Sapphire still follows me in my dreams." Leaf started to leave the alley, so I asked, "what are we to do about these men?"

"They will wake up eventually," she responded, "besides, we don't want a target on our backs, from them or the police." I agreed, but still didn´t want to let them run free. "Come on," she beckoned. I guess it can't be helped. We left the alley and headed back to the Emerald Barracks, or so we called it.
