Chapter 4

Karel has entered into the society of this strange new world, and has been inducted into the Sith order. He has started his trip by entering the train, but he has made contact with a Jedi, though his comm link.

"What do you do?" I asked, hoping to hear that he was a Jedi. Maybe I could prevent that day… I saw a cart full of foods coming down the aisle being pushed by an older woman. I knew that he should make this sound like he was talking to family. "Act like you're a brother or something for a few minutes. Someone's coming."

"Alright… So how's mom doing?" He said. Just then the woman with the cart came up to his cabin.

"Would you like something to eat before we go?" She asked. I saw what she had and there were a few things that interested me. I knew that I had money to spare so I got snacks. I got a couple bottles of Coke and what was called the "American Experience." I got a big cheeseburger, two hotdogs, a milkshake, and French fries. I got the ring to pay for the food and the woman starts walking away. I sigh and look at all the food

"She's gone. I got so much food. I just got the special. Why is it so much?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Where are you?" Sander asked me. I open the hot dog and take a bite of it.

"I haven't been here long, but it's called Gaia or something." I said

"Do you have the coordinates of that planet? I've never heard of it." Sander asked. Now that he asked I thought about it, and it turned out that my mind was blank. I Looked at the comm, but it wasn't showing anything

"Sorry, this thing isn't working. I can only talk to you." I take a finish the first hot dog and take a sip of the coke.

"At least it's habitable." Sander says. "Got to go. My master is calling me." After that he turns off his comm. Karel turns his side of it off and sits back. When he does he hears a knock at the sliding door. A woman opens the door and asks

"Is that seat taken?" I tell her no and she sits across from me. She looks a little older than me, though I'm not really the best when it comes to that. My master could get the age of anyone down to the month. I still have no idea how. She was a lot tanner than I was, but that wasn't hard. Her long black hair caught my eye, and I caught her hazel ones apparently.

"What's your name?" She asked me.

"Karel Allusis." Her eyes widen

"You mean That Karel? The one who saved the Empresses?" I get a little red in the face after this

"It's already spreading?" I say. I see in her eyes some level of admiration. She looks at my pile of food and it almost disappears

"Are you really hungry or something?" She asks jokingly

"I ordered the "American experience" special." I say. She grabs the hamburger from my side and takes a bite out of it.

"This is what the brits think a burger is? If we get time off we need to take you to Texas To some real food." I wasn't going to eat it. I got a coke and gave it to her.

"Who do you mean by "We"?" I ask. I didn't see anyone with her, but then I turned my head and saw another person.

"The only other American I could find on this train. Now I don't say that we're the best, but no one fights like an American." He walks in and sits down next to me. He's holding a box of sodas.

"Hey, the name's Murphy Hargrove." He shakes my hand "And my new friend over here is Cecilia Jackson." I introduce myself

"So you're that guy who killed the rebels. Guess we'd be in serious trouble if you weren't there. How about you join this duo." Cecilia shakes her head

"Wouldn't that make it a trio then?" I say

"Details." He grabs my second hotdog and unwraps it. I see disappointment on his face.

"This is just sad. You know, this leaves a bad impression of American Cuisine." He shakes his head and eats it.

"What if I wanted that?" I say. I didn't

"I'll make it up to you. I'm not the best cook but I could make better food than this with my eyes closed."

I'm starting to like these two. The train starts to move, and we start talking.

"What did you guys do to get into this place? You both know what I did."

Cecilia laughed and so did Murphy. "Not everyone gets in by saving the empress." Murphy tells me.

"But we did do stuff. I hear that some of the others are calling us the "Big 5" The three of us and two others. A Goblin named Dragonfist, and a guy named Daniel Cadmus. You didn't hear this from me, but I hear his dad was a serial killer. He's a bit messed up in the head. Heard he ripped apart a rebel with his bare hands." Cecilia says

Great, just my luck. I'll be working next to a Pyscho again. During the war I had to see some of the worse scum in the galaxy. I killed my fair share of them.

"He's my best friend, but he's had a tough life. He's willing to get results no matter what. He's no as bad as everyone thinks. He's not here. He went up last week. I needed to get some stuff done here so I told him to warm up the school for us." Murphy said

"You didn't answer my question though"

"I got in here because I have a master mind and play 4D chess with the enemy." I didn't understand exactly what he meant by that

"Do you think you're Alexander Hamilton?" Cecilia asks. I read about him in that short history lesson I had. He was the first Treasurer of the United States.

"I don't have a dollar to my name, but I got my top-notch brain" Murphy says. I don't get it.

"Well unlike Hamilton over there I got in because I am probably the best shot on this train. I could get a clone from miles away. No one is out of sight for me." I think she's over estimating herself, but I can't tell. I don't want to get on her bad side anyways.

"Well now that we're all on the same page, maybe we can become friends." I say. I need friends if I'm going to be a double agent. I may have to kill to keep myself same…

Why am I helping the order? I owe them nothing.

"I'd like that" Cecilia said. My head shoots back up. Cecilia smiles and shakes her head.

"Besides my folks would love to meet the man who saved the empress. Murphy can come too." I smirk

"You two remind me of some people." My mind goes back to everyone back on Remnant. I must have smiled because Murphy hit my arm

"No getting soft on us." He told me. I get another Coke and open it

We talked about stuff for a while. Murphy even fell asleep. I continued to talk to Cecilia. She told me about her family. I told her about my master, though I changed somethings.

"I never knew my real mother. She died shortly after I was born. I was taken in by my Aunt, Jade Yadder. She just so happened to teach me about fighting. She was trained for decades in fighting. She was amazing." Thinking about my master brought a smile to my face.

"She sounds amazing." Cecilia says

"She was…" my smile disappears. "But she was murdered in cold blood. That's why I'm here. I want revenge." The thought that I could kill Anakin Skywalker moves me.

It was my mission. I must stop the tragedy from happening again. Even if I die I must kill him…

I can't die… I must make it back to Bora.

"I'm sorry. I hope I can help you. Do you know who killed your Aunt?" Cecilia was truly there for me.

"She was one of the first people to go on expeditions for our empire. Anakin Skywalker murdered her." My voice is full of hate. I realize that I was going to the dark side.

"That makes It harder. No matter what I'll stand behind you." I smile, but it's a fake one. I'm scared. I can't believe that I got so close. I'm freaking out inside.

We woke up Murphy when we got to the school. I say school, but it looked like a castle from Alderaan. My eyes are wide open as we are taken across a lake by boat, just staring at the castle.

They take us into the castle, and everything looks old. There are stairs that lead to hundreds of different rooms, or so I think. Murphy goes ahead of us and goes to someone I've never seen. He seems happy, so I assume that is Daniel. I walk up to him and feel a power in him. It's stronger than most of the people in this castle.

"Who's this?" He asks murphy. I answer him.

"I'm Karel Allusis." I shake his hand

"So, you're the one who killed all those rebels. Was it fun? Did they suffer?" I glance at Murphy, but he shrugs.

"I don't particularly enjoy murder, but it was to save our empress. It was worth it." I know that I must be on my guard with him, but I do hope to be good allies with him.

"I heard that the Emperor himself interrogated the last 10 rebels." Another person said. I don't know if person works, but I'll go with it. They were no taller than four and a half feet. I think this is what a goblin is. Reminds me of some things I saw back in the clone wars. His skin was a dark red, and his hair black.

"Dragonfist?" I ask. I honestly don't know, but I hope so.

"Yeah. You have me at the disadvantage though, since you know me…"

"Oh, right, then name's Karel Allusis." After that Dragonfist's eyes opened for a second, then closed again.

"I must give you my greatest thanks for saving our Empress. Without you there who knows what would have happened." He looked at Cecilia and shook his head. "And now we see the "Big 5" united. Come, let's go to the dining hall. It's almost time for dinner. We have special seats." He looked at me for a second.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask nervously

"We are at the front of the dining hall…" He starts.

"With the best food and drinks." Daniel added

"Yes, with the food, but more importantly, we are given special attention. I've been here for a week and I already had to beat down thirty people here. We need to stick together. After tonight you better get ready to be the most hated person in the room. We're given the best of the best to make those people jealous. They get the hand-me-downs, we get the handcrafted." He looks at a group of people walk by and I hear them gossip about us.

"We're given each our own bedrooms. We even have lightsabers given to us. Of course, we'll have to use training sabers when we're practicing but we get the best." He says. I realize what's going to happen.

"We even have special teachers who will work with each one of us, though they really don't work. They make us a team. We need to stick together." He repeated himself, but that must have been to put emphasis of it in my mind. It left its mark.

"Well then Dragonfist, I guess we're going to become the best of friends soon." I say.

We walk as a group into the dining hall. I see the tables that must have dozens of people at each of them. I look around and feel a sense of general hatred and disdain. I walk behind Daniel as we go past so many of them. One of the students get up and comes to me.

"You're Karel Allusis? Don't look like much to me." Daniel stops and so does the rest of the group. I was in the middle of the five of us.

"Were you expecting a man who was ripped with muscles?" I say.

"Maybe… I just wasn't expecting a punk." He pushes me. I go back a step. No one moves.

"You want to step down." I say. I know people think I look like a street punk, but I try to look like that. I make the first move just by looking like I do. My blue hair doesn't help.

"I don't think I do." He tries to throw a punch at me, but I easily catch it. I coldly move my hand up, which started to bend his hand. Soon I had him on the ground begging me to stop. I let go of his hand, but I grip him with the force. I pull him to my face and say

"I tried to warn you." I threw him across the dining hall into a wall.

"Nice." Daniel says.

"Thanks" We continue our trek to our table. Thankfully no one tries to fight us after that. When we get to our seats the doors open off to the side of us. We didn't even sit down, and everyone stood up.

"The staff have arrived." Murphy whispers to me.

"Noted"

After they get to there seats the one in the lead holds up his hand. We all sit.

"I would like to welcome the last of the new arrivals. Now that we have everyone here, our lessons can start. Tomorrow at dawn your lessons will start. I'd like to make special note of the three new arrivals who have shown to the Empire that they are better than most. Karel Allusis, who I am certain you all know, especially with that boy lying on the ground. I would like to also mention Cecilia Jackson and Murphy Hargrove. As you know they are called the "Big 5" They earned where they are because they were better than you."

I turn to him. He's trying to get us killed.

"They are the best of the best." He continues saying.

"But Karel hasn't proven anything!" Someone yells. I see who and I throw my knife at them. I hit their nose, leaving a bloody mark. He shut up after that

"I am sure that has satisfied your worries. Bring his knife back to him, then let's eat." He sits down and so do the rest of the staff.

"Nice throw" I hear Daniel say. I shake my head in reply

After dinner we were instructed to stay behind. Everyone else besides the staff and us left.

"Now that we have some privacy, I'd like to make some ground rules. You can't attack anyone unless they provoke you. That means if they do or say anything that the Emperor wouldn't allow. Next, you are given your own rooms, which are all connected to each other. If anyone tries to kill you while you sleep you can count on the others to be at you rescue." The headmaster says. I learned that his name was Herpo the foul. He looked old, but powerful.

He glared at me directly. "Now while you can be insulted, you aren't allowed to kill unless forced. If you are seen killing, then make sure it was justified. No attacking for the fun of it." He looks at Daniel.

"You will each be given a specially made lightsaber. Keep it safe. They are no toy." He snaps, and a teacher walks forward. They had a box in their hands, with five identical lightsabers.

They were silver with a sharp point where the blade comes out. It looked like a real Sith lightsaber. I grab one and turn it on. I had a red light coming from it. I turn it of quickly and hooked it on my belt.

"These are going to be replaced in due time, but right now they are your life." He looks at the rest of us.

"As you know you are given the title as the "Big 5" to make a target out of you. This will force you to fight hard battles here and overcome the odds. Or die." Another teacher adds

We were dismissed after that and we get to our rooms. Daniel and Dragonfist already took the first two rooms, so we decided that we would follow our order at dinner, with me taking the middle room. Cecilia got a room in between Murphy and me.

I enter the room and see a large bed, and a wooden desk. The rugs looked amazing and the room looks overall great. I can't even take in all the details right now. I realize that we have some time before we go to bed so after I get everything unpacked, which is just a backpack… I need more stuff. Cecilia pops her head into my room and asks me to help her unpack.

"Do you really have that much stuff?" I ask

"Actually, I just want to make sure the lid doesn't close on me. It does have a habit of doing that."

"What do you mean by… never mind." I go to her room and see a nice room. It looks like mine in almost every detail. She went to her suitcase and opened it. I held it open and saw almost another world in her suitcase.

"I just need to get a few things from here, but the last time this closed on me I spent an hour trying to get someone to help me out." She said as she was grabbing things. She came up and placed her pile of clothes on her bed.

"Thanks." She got close to my ear and whispered "I felt someone right outside your door." I look at her. I let myself go back into the force to see if I could sense the person. I felt a lighter aura than any other that I've felt.

"They don't seem like they're a dark person." I say. I turn to go to the door, but Cecilia grabs my arm

"Do you really want to take that risk?" She asks me.

"I know what I'm doing. Trust me." I say. I get my lightsaber ready to be certain.

I open the door and I see a guy standing there turned around.

"How am I going to introduce myself to them? Hey, I'm Philip Prince… No that sounds dumb…" He stands there not noticing that the door behind him was opened. I kind of feel bad. He reminds me of Jaune a little bit. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he jumps. I really feel bad now. Dragonfist came out of his room to see what was happening

"Who's this?" He says. Cold, but I doubt he had much time to learn the names of everyone around him. He gets out his lightsaber but didn't turn it on yet. I put my hand up to try to get him to stop.

"Um… My n-name's Philip Prince. I wanted to thank Karel for what he did today." He looks at me and bows.

"That guy you tossed was beating up a bunch of us. I tried to stand up to him, but he gave me a black eye." Yeah, he really reminds me of Jaune. I smile and put my hand on his shoulder again.

"It's alright. You don't have to bow. I hate that sort of stuff." He looks at me and I can tell that he's nervous, but happy at the same time. He has silver eyes, but something didn't seem right about them. I looked at Philip and noticed that he has snow white hair. He was an albino.

"Thanks again." He smiles at me and turns around. He walks away, and everyone goes back into there room.

I decide to go on a walk to the library to learn about a few things. When I got there it was dark… Something wasn't right.

I felt someone move in the shadow. I grabbed the lightsaber and yelled "Whoever's there you might as well leave. I don't want to kill anyone!" I feel them stopping.

Soon they were gone. "Great… There is something watching me…" I say. I walk to a computer terminal and sit there. I realize that I don't have any way to log on, but then something flashes in my mind. I type it in and the computer flashes to life. I see so many things, but I don't know what to do. I feel another thing flash in my mind. I don't even know what was happening and in a few minutes I found the blueprints to something. I can't feel anything or anyone in the room, so I look at the it.

I can't even believe what I was seeing. It was a war machine with the power to destroy a starship, not a puny one, but the cruisers. It wouldn't be able to be cut up with a lightsaber because it was covered with Mandalorian Iron. It could kill thousands. It needed to be exposed…

I must contact the Order to warn them about this. They gave me a comm that could reach them, but I had to hide it carefully…

"The Woods!" I say out loud. I stood up and stretched. I quickly memorized the name of the project and turn off the computer. I walk quickly to get out of this place. I find guards at the front gates. They stop me until they see the lightsaber on my belt. They let me continue my walk.

I walk to the woods and quickly get the comm out. I calm myself down, so I can describe what I saw. Three, Two, One…

"This is Karel Allusis, and this is an emergency. I have found something that might end this war before it even begins… It's called project Thanatos Infinity…"

I finish my message after describing the beast, but I end it with the only good news. "They expect it to be ready in five years. We don't have much time but we do have time. Karel Out." I end the comm. I place it at the base of a tree and leave a special tracker that James gave me. It was a beacon that a wizard can teleport to. They would know that I have something important to report.

After I place the comm down I turn around and start to walk back to the school.

Something isn't right…

"What are you doing? Sneaking into the library hours after its closed, stealing secrets of our empire, and most importantly, you make contact to the Order… You are a Traitor!" a voice calls out. After they call me a traitor I see a flash of red come right towards me. Four more lights. I can make out the faces of two of them. One of them is a woman. The other was sitting next to the guy who attacked me. I quickly got my lightsaber and blocked the incoming strike.

"I can't let any of you live after that insult." I say. The one who attacked me had was a man. He makes very basic strikes at me with the lightsaber. I need to learn who is here. One of them sneaks up behind me and starts to choke me. I threw them over my shoulder and turned off my lightsaber. I kick them in the face and place my lightsaber in their mouth.

"Eat this!" I yell as I turn on my lightsaber. They had a large hole in there head now. That felt really good. I start to laugh. The others start running at me. I just block the hits until I disarm one of them. I pushed them away and continued the fight. It wasn't even a fight.

The one who I disarmed used magic to attack me. I realized it almost too late and got a large cut along my arm. Another ran up to me and threw some dust in my face. Those little scum blinded me.

I wanted revenge… but they knocked the lightsaber out of my hand. They came up and started to attack me while I was blind. One of them threw a right hook and another kneed me in the stomach. I spit up blood. After that one of them hits me in the back of my head. I fall to the ground and they start to kick me. I started to bleed.

Is this it? Is this where it ends? No. It can't be. It won't be. I use the force to push them all off of me and I move them to right in front of me. I felt so angry and I wanted them down. I reached out my hand and force lightning came out if them. I didn't stop when I noticed it. I didn't stop when I heard their screams. I didn't stop when I saw two guards running towards me with force pikes. I didn't stop when I saw the headmaster appear. I only stopped when they were dust.

I smiled and laughed. I didn't even know that I feel this good. This feeling is the greatest feeling I've ever had.

I hear clapping from Herpo. That was when I stopped laughing.

"Five dead… two injured. That's quite impressive for your first day." He says. The guards don't move. They just pointed those stupid pikes at me. I get annoyed at there presence and use the force to snap their necks. Their bodies fall to the ground and I start laughing again. Herpo doesn't even look at them.

"Tomorrow you train with me."
