Chapter 3

Karel, James Potter, "One-eye" Moody, Ron, and Jeff Connor are all heading to the Cave of Schist to stop a rebel group from killing the Imperial family. They don't have much time left

P.O.V Karel

I was the first one to wake up this morning, the third day I've been on Earth, or Gaia, as I've been told it's been renamed. I don't know which sounds better. We we're right outside of the cave. We arrived yesterday, and we've been waiting to hear anything. A little while later the others wake up.

"Hey Karel, you keep watch, while I get us something." Ron says. James gets up and goes with him. "I'll go and keep him safe."

I can tell that they're trying to hide something from me, but I don't care. "I'm not the boss here." I say. I check my weapons once more. I turn to Moody "What are they getting?"

"Our disguises. Three guards, and two farmers. You look like a passerby, so you don't need one. Hopefully we can get them without too much commotion." I see now.

"So we're killing people before the battle just to fit in?" I glare at him

"Yeah, we are. Stop looking at me like that boy." I look away

"This is the only time I'm helping you out if this is going to be killing innocent people" He nodded his head

"I thought that you would say that. Trust me boy, you've done worse. You've killed hundreds in your war in the stars. Just because they were on the opposite side, that doesn't make them less than you. You're going to stay on our side after you see the Empire." Moody says confidently. Jeff doesn't do anything and just sits there. I don't like any of these people really. I'm only here because I hate the Sith.

Shortly after our "talk" Ron and James came back. We got our disguises on and started for the cave. We got in position to rush in after the guards start the fire fight. I would be the first one to meet the royal family, and I would use my grenade to find our enemies. Moody would use magic to get behind the rebels in the cave, and fight them hand to hand, along with Jeff. Ron and James would be my back up.

After an hour we saw movement. Now was the time. There were eight guards, two kids, and the empress. They were walking to the entrance of the cave, when a shot was fired, hitting a guard. I jumped down the tree where I was, and started to run towards the fight. I was running when a guard swung his gun towards me. I slipped under it, pulled out a grenade, and threw it. When it exploded, it showed dozens of red outlines. I pulled out the 1911 and fired it at the closest one towards me. When the guards saw that I was here to help them they stopped trying to fight me, and focused on the current problem. Ron and James get up next to me and start firing. The guard that was shot got up and crawled over to the Imperial family. "Get out back!"

He saw shot once more, but I return by shooting three of them. I get to the royal family, and say.

"Please get some cover. These rebels have hounds."

I turn around to see another guard fall down. "Please get the children out of here. They shouldn't have to see this."

The Empress looks at me, and goes for her lightsaber. "How do you know about these rebels?"

"I found one of them trying to kill these two guards, and I got my father's weapon. I killed two of them, and they had this note on them." I hand her the note, then go back to shooting. She stopped going for her lightsaber, and moved her kids back some distance. I saw Jeff and Moody take out a number of the rebels, and Ron quickly killed more than a dozen of the rebels, but what was strange was that the hounds haven't been released yet.

Almost on cue I hear barks and sigh. I throw another grenade, and it explodes, killing another rebel, and I could see the hounds. They were fast, and took a guard by surprise, biting at his neck. What were these freaks going to do to the kids? I shake my head and continue to fire my gun, but I have to reload. When I was doing that, the 1911 was shot out of my hand, and it broke.

I yell in pain, and used the dark side of the force to crush that person, but it shocked me, as I look at my hand, until a bullet grazes my shoulder. I look back at the battle, and see Ron hitting a dog in the head to get him off of the dead guard. I shoot past him, killing one of the hounds with the revolver. I didn't even notice taking it out or firing. After I get back into my own mind I shoot twice more, both hitting some of the last of the Dogs.

I feel pretty bad for killing these Dogs, It's not their fault that there owners used them for War. I take a breath and run into the mouth of the cave, firing the last of the bullets, pulled out the cylinder, and start firing again. Moody and Jeff use the magic they used to leave the cave, and teleport eight hundred feet away from the fight. Ron and James go deeper in the cave, and as we planned, they did the same, but before they did, they placed down explosives. When they teleported, they set them off, closing off that part of the cave. There are now only ten rebels left in the fight. They surrender immediately.

"Filthy Rebels" I say, and spit on one of them.

"We have it from here." One of the guards says

I look at him, and quickly kick the face of one of the rebels. They fall to the ground. I think I might have over done it, until the Empress enters the cave. The guards grabbed me to stop me from doing anything else, but she stops them.

"Young man, I have failed to make your acquaintance. I am the Empress of this empire…" I hate having to play along with this, but as soon as she says that, I go down on my knees bowing my head. She laughs, and looks at a rebel that I squished. My heart starts pounding faster than if I drank a mug of five hour energy's. She looks at it and looks at me.

"You killed this one. Don't deny it." I can honestly say, this was one of the most fearful moments in my life. I was sweating bullets.

"I don't know how I did it, I put my hand out and closed it. I swear on my life." At least that part is true.

"Have you been to any of The Academies?" She says, by the way she said The, I can tell that she's not talking about Yale here.

"No my Empress, I was just so mad at that moment, and this happened."

"Impressive work for one who hasn't seen the way of the Sith. I like that." At least I have her seal of approval. "Tell me your name."

"I'm Karel Allusis." I am an idiot, why didn't I give her a fake name? I'm dead. My last name should give me away alone. One of my Ancestors was a great Jedi master who gave his life in the first major standstill in the old war. The Empire had my Ancestor outnumbered 10 to 1, but he and his army stopped the Empire.

"Alright Karel Allusis, I will pull a few strings for you. Right now, let's get out of this cave. By the way, do you know what happened to those two guards that you came with?" I point to the rocks that cover the end of the cave. She puts her hand on my shoulder.

"At least you are here." She says, but I'm still uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your concern my Empress."

"Come along with me boy." She pulls me up and we start walking somewhere.

"These are my children, Cindy and Oswald Peverell. Cindy, Oswald, this man here protected you. Look for anyone who would do that in your life."

"I'm nothing special." I say trying my best to be bashful.

"I'm definitely going to have to pull a lot of strings, but I think I can…"

"What are you planning?" I ask

"Don't interrupt me." She says. I immediately shut up and look back down at the ground. She gets out her comm and moves some distance away. I see the kids and smile at them. They smile back.

"Hey, so our mom said that you saved me and my little brother. Thanks I guess for that." Cindy says

"It was nothing; you should help people in need." I say back.

"But what if they aren't good people?" she asks. You know for a little girl, she does have good questions. I take a moment to think of how I would answer this question.

"Good people trust everyone, but bad people misuse and betray that trust. Just continue to be trusting." After I finish that Kione returns

"I have talked with some people, and they are letting you get into Hogwarts to train in the force. It's a great honor, especially being this late into the program, and not having been trained in any other school. You're going to be behind the curb, but you have the ability to match, and surpass you're fellow students. We're going to take you to the train station then you will travel for a few hours."

"Will I need money?"

"I'll take care of that. Do you have an Imperial credit account?" Does she mean a bank account, Nope.

"I don't" I say. She takes out a device and grabs my hand. She scans my fingerprint, and takes a sample of blood. She takes my blood type, and then she scans my eyes with it. I start to blink, and she sends this information to a bank somehow. I'm just so confused by all of this, but she hands me a ring. I put it on and she speaks again

"There is a ship in that ring, it will track your spending, and connect you to the Imperial communications." I feel a bit uncomfortable by this.

"Can it track where I am?" I ask. If it does, then I'm in deep trouble.

"Only when you use its services. Let's get going to the train station. I feel like this place is a bit soiled for free time."

"What?"

"I don't want to be here anymore."

"Oh, yeah. I understand." I stand there awkwardly for a few seconds.

"Are you coming?" Kione asks and I shake my head. She called a nice looking ship, and we get in it. It was black, and it looked like a Naboo ship. I don't know the exact name of the ship, but I've seen Senator Amidala get off of one of these before. I was with the traitor Anakin, and Obi-Wan.

"This place is nice." I say. I stand while everyone else takes a seat admiring the design of the ship when Kione speaks up

"You can take a seat Karel." That brings me back to reality and take a seat away from Kione.

"Thank you my Empress for everything you're doing." I say. I kind of am grateful for this, but I'm still on my guard.

When I sit down Cindy starts playing with Oswald, and I take a deep breath. I almost fall asleep when Kione knocks me shoulder

"Would you like a drink?" She says holding out a glass

"I don't drink. Do you have something else?"

"How old are you?"

"Only Sixteen, but my birthday is near."

"Alright, let's get you something else. This tastes really good, yeah, you're drink's right up." She orders someone to get a glass, and open a bottle.

"Um… I'm still sixteen."

"Yeah, but this isn't alcohol. It's sparkling Cider." She hands me the glass. I take a sip from it, and it tastes a series of fruits and berries, but the flavors came steadily. First it was apple, than grape, than orange, pineapple, blueberry, and so many more.

"Isn't this good? That used to cost an arm and a leg."

"How much does it cost now?"

"Just an arm." She says laughing to herself.

We sat for a little while until we got to the port. We docked and Kione stood up, and so did I. We got out with a number of imperial troops. I gulp and follow behind Kione then we keep walking. I don't pay attention to where I'm going. Soon we're at a train station in front of the 9 sign.

"So Karel, what you need to do to get to Hogwarts is to run through this wall." I look at her

"What?"

"Run through here, you'll be on platform 9 and ¾." I look at her again, and she smirks. She knocks on the bricks, but her hand went through it. I mouth must have dropped open since she starts to laugh.

"So after I go through it, what after that?" I ask. I'm still wondering about the wall.

"Get on the train. With that ring, you will show you're Imperial I.D. and they will see a special mark by it. You'll be allowed on."

After she said that I shook my head, and I ran through it, and to my actual surprise, I was in a different place. I looked around looking for the train. It was right in front of me, and I walked to the door. Someone stopped me and he held out a scanner. I put the ring under the scanner, and I see it. He looked up and saw a symbol next to my name, and his eyes almost pop out of his head.

"Come right on Sir." He says, and so I do. I see a large amount of empty cabins, so I enter the nearest one. We haven't started to move and I was bored, but I didn't know what I was going to do. I put my hand on my face, when I see my comm, but hey, why not mess around with it. I turn it to Bora's signal, and I find exactly what I thought I would find, nothing.

"Hey, why not use my old channel." I say out loud.

I turn it onto my old comm channel from the clone wars, but to my utter shock, I hear someone talking back to me.

"Hello?" A boy sounding voice answered. "Who is this?"

"Sorry, I was just going through random frequencies on this. Hey want to talk?" I ask.

"I don't know…"

"I'll give you my name first. My name is Karel Allusis. Who are you?" I ask. I feel something about this. Something in my head tells me this is an important moment.

"My name is Sander Blanco."

Author's Notes: Wow this took way too long to get out. Well, at least we got this out.

So some of you might now that the story of Karel's Source has finished, but don't worry, just like I'll continue with this one, I'll continue Karel's story in his source.

I'd Like to thank SonicXben again for letting me use a number of his characters, and for having one of my characters in his story. I hope that You guys will continue to read both of our stories.

May the force be with you
