Two years have passed since Jack's arrival. After Darth Marr rescued him, he told him about his life. How he was from a primitive world and how he met the Autobots. Marr was very interested in him and offered him training and help him find Earth. Jack accepted because he wanted to help his world from the Decepticon's.
The first day of training, Marr left him deep in the forest of Drumond Kass with just a vibroblade to fend for himself. Three months later, Marr found him covered in the blood of his dinner that he hunted. Jack learned an important lesson while in the forest. You eat what you Kill.
Marr took Jack back to the ship and taught him how to use the force. He taught him how to read basic, ancient Sith dialect, lightsaber forms, how to fight, how to use the Dark side without losing his sanity, and the Sith code. When Marr told him of the Jedi, he asked what their code was. Marr went deathly silent.
Marr told him the code. When he finished, Jack had a confused look and at began stating the large flaws in it. To Jack, the Jedi code was stupid. How can there not be emotion. That would mean they were denying there true selves. There is no such thing as peace, only quiet.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion"
It's our emotions, attatchments that made us stronger. It gives us purpose and a reason to live. A need to protect.
"Through passion, I gain Strength"
The attatchments we make with the people around us, they will stand behind you and fight for you. The power of one can be the power of millions.
"Through Strength, I gain power"
With our attatchments, we could topple entire armies and conquer our enemies.
"Through power, I gain victory"
With his passions, with there strength, with there power, and with Force at his command, he shall be victorious overall his enemies.
"Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me"
Marr could not feel more proud of his secret Apprentice. Being a man of his word, Marr looked through the imperial archives for Earth but found noting. Jack was upset but decided that being mad won't change anything and accepted his predicament. When his training was all but complete, Marr gave him a mission.
A few years ago, he discovered that a Sith Lord is plotting to take complete control of the Empire for his own selfish desires. Jack was to go and become close to the Sith Lord and find any incriminating proof of him. He will act as an Acolyte that is been brought in early by an Overseer. The latter of who doesn't even know about his mission.
On a shuttle to Korriban, Jack was meditating. He found it very calming and helped focus his mind. However, there were times he could feel the darkness and the light tug on him. He sometimes felt his bloodlust raging but now he had much better control of keeping himself level headed.
He opened his eyes when the door opened. He stood up and walked down the ramp. The bright sun shined on him, showing his Acolyte uniform and vibroblade. He also wore a single glove on his right hand, covering the metal. As he walked into a hanger, he was approached by a man.
"At last you've arrived. Good, good. There is much to be done and every moment is critical" the man said. "I'm Overseer Tremal. For decades, I have administrated the trials that prove who is and isn't worthy of joining the Sith order"
"The trials are a chance to weed out the weak. Those who participate either survive or die" he finished.
"I won't disappoint" said Jack.
"Good, I risked a lot bringing you here. You are here ahead of schedule because of me. I expect you to obey. You listen to me and I can make you the most powerful Acolyte here"
"I like the sound of that"
"Thought you might. While your here, there is another Acolyte that must be eliminated. Vemrin. He is mixed blood, the unacceptable rot that is eating at the foundations of the empire"
"Rather snobbish"
Tremal gave a snort. "Well of course. Only the best, only the most pure are worthy to be Sith" said Tremal. He frowned and said "Unfortunately, he is being groomed to becoming an apprentice to an influential Sith Lord, Darth Baras".
"So Baras is my target. Just my luck" thought Jack. Darth Marr had mentioned about Darth Baras before and not in a good way. The only reason Marr tolerates him is because of his spy network.
"That blade will not serve you. In the tomb of Ajunta Pall, you will find a warblade that will aid you on your quest. Once you acquire it, spend some time blooding it and then meet me in my office in the academy. Good luck" said Tremal, before leaving.
Jack let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair before walking out. He left the hanger and went to the tomb.
Thirty minutes later...
Jack had just acquired the warblade but was surround by fifty Klor slugs. He just finished killing a few dozen but they kept on coming. That's when the smell of blood hit his nostrils. His head started to hurt and he found his hand shaking, the urge to kill became very appealing. His blue eyes suddenly changed. With a loud battle cry, Jack gave into his bloodlust.
Anyone that was in a different part of the tomb stopped what they were doing, as they heard laughter of insanity.
Three hour later...
Tremal was becoming impatient.
He was having another heated conversation with his daughter, Eskella, while waiting for the Acolyte to returned. It shouldn't take that long to get a warblade.
He then heard footsteps and looked over. What he saw made him go wide eyed. Jack walked in looking like he bathed in blood. He was even leaving bloody footprints. What really disturbed him was the sulfuric yellow eyes, which were starting to go red, and his insane like grin.
"I have returned Overseer" Jack said, a little to calmly.
"I...see" Tremal said. He pulled a datapad and handed it to him. "This will lead you to your quarters here. Return to me once you've...washed up".
Jack nodded and left the room.
Eskella turned to her father and said "I can see why you were so secretive father. He is very powerful"
"Indeed" said Tremal.
"Rather handsome as well"
"Inde- wait what!?"
