Thank you for your suggestions, if you want to keep sending Darth names, feel free. I'm also changing it to Ch 6 when entries are over. I plan to have Izuku receive his name in Ch 9, so I need a couple chapters for viewers to vote. Please note, that only verified accounts can vote.
Guest: Darth Uked or Darth Oreh, not bad names, but it seems a bit too easy. I want some though to be put into a Sith Name, but other than that, thank you for the suggestion
Wolves567: Darth Sintox is a great name, it's going on my list. However, I simply don't want to generate a random name, I want and impactful name, like Sintox.
LokiAstra: Darth Dorimna sound interesting, but I can't find that word in wookiepedia, if you have a link to it, privet message me it please. Although, I don't think any self-respecting Sith would accept a name that means rabbit.
claymaster27: No.
Dovahkiin4: Darth Kyber is an interesting name, but I don't think I will add it to the list of potentials. Personally, it's not a super impactful name, like Sidious in Insidious, or Vader in Invader.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
"Nrgh. What's that sound?" Izuku blinked out the sleepiness in his eyes as he sat up. He rubbed his face, and threw a hand through his curls, pulling them out of his face. He turned his head and sitting in his desk chair was Alcor tapping away at a tablet.
"Morning sleeping beauty." Alcor offhandedly greeted. "Humph, I just started reading on local culture, quite fascinating what people do when bored."
"I-is that my mother's tablet?" Izuku asked as he pointed to the device.
"Yeah, I borrowed it, she wasn't using it, might as well take it off her hands." Alcor replied nonchalantly. He had this look of passive glee on his face.
"Why?" Izuku asked confused.
"I'm studying this planet's history, culture, technology, and science. I may not look it, but I was in that cave for nearly 3000 years." Alcor replied.
Izuku was shocked, he couldn't imagine being alone for that long. "Wha-wait, if you were there for so long what did you do?" Alcor went quiet, for only a moment before answering.
"I think you wouldn't like the answer to that question." Was all Alcor said. Izuku didn't question it as he started to change out of his All Might footie pjs. Alcor was silently thinking to himself, 'He doesn't need to know I convinced depressed people commit suicide, right? I'm not even sure he knows of the concept of death yet. I'll have to fix that.'
As Izuku bent down to get at the floorboard hiding the Holocron, Alcor's voice cut out, "Don't take that, I still need to research, and I can't exactly go too far from it." Izuku, still a little scared of Alcor, simply nodded and left his bedroom to go eat breakfast.
When Izuku sat down to eat a small bowl of cereal, his mother posed a question to him, "Izuku have you seen my tablet? I thought I left it on the table right here."
Alcor's voice popped up in Izuku's head, "Don't even try it." The tone was with an edge of finality.
Izuku swallowed what was in his mouth and replied to his mother, "N-no k-kaa-san, I haven't seen it."
Inko looked at him for only a moment before turning away, "Look at your ditsy mother, misplacing things. Ah well, I'm sure it will make itself known in time." Izuku wanted to correct her, but for fear of a repeat of what happened yesterday kept his mouth shut.
"All right Izuku, are you excited for another day of pre-K?" Inko looked at Izuku, who seemed to flinch briefly.
"Y-yeah, o-oh c-c-course, why w-wouldn't I-I?" Izuku knew how today was going to go, by the time arrives he'll either be bullied or pitied for his Quirkless state and he hates it. But he wasn't going to let his mother know. He hast to be strong for her.
In his bedroom, Alcor, reading Izuku's thoughts scoffed. 'Pathetic, *sigh* this will take a lot of work to fix.' He waited for Izuku and Inko to leave before gathering some paper to write on. 'Well at least he'll have his first lesson when he returns home, after all what kid wouldn't want to learn a "secret" language. Heh."
"All right my little hero, have a good day." Inko kissed him on the cheek.
"R-right Ka-a-san!" Already in the corner of Izuku's eyes he could see the looks the other kids were giving him. A few looks of pity, were mixed in a sea of barely contained loathing and hatred. Even the adults gave Izuku these looks. Izuku slowly made his way inside, as the looks increased in intensity, once Inko was out of view. The red winged bully from the day prior came forward.
"Well if it isn't useless, Quirkless Deku. I surprised that you would even come in today." Tsubasa sneered, as he pushed Izuku to the ground. A group of kids all laughed at him. Izuku looked at the adults for help, and promptly wished he didn't, they were all looking away pretending not to see anything. A few even had small smiles on their faces. Izuku continued his way inside, when Tsubasa gabbed his shoulder, Izuku was pulled back and promptly punched in the gut. Izuku dropped to the ground, in pain, but oddly his mind was not on the attack but the flash he saw when Tsubasa grabbed him.
"g-g-grandpa, i-it h-h-h-hur-t-t-s, please make it s-s-stop." Tsubasa was older and lying on a metel table seemingly writhing in pain. His biological grandfather was standing above him.
"Shhh, Shhhh, grandpa is here, don't worry, I will make you powerful, after all it's all for my master. Hehehe."
Izuku was suddenly pulled from the vision as an adult tapped him on the shoulder and told him to go inside, or he'll get in trouble. Mindlessly he followed, as he thought. 'What was that I saw? Was that really Tsubasa and Dr. Tsubasa, but how and what does it mean?' Idly, he wondered if this is what Alcor meant when he could be made powerful. In the back of his mind a voice cackled in glee at watching Tsubasa's torment but Izuku ignored it.
Back at the apartment, Alcor stopped writing on the collection of papers, to look up and start giggling. 'His force powers are starting to come in. Much faster the I predicted, and I barely had to do anything.'
Izuku spent the day floating in and out, only paying attention when it was necessary. Aside from that morning and lunch (Coubakugough) none of the kids had gotten physical with him yet, but that didn't stop the insults, the hateful words, and even if they didn't say anything to his face, Izuku could hear their whispers.
"Did you hear? He's Quirkless." A girl said to her friend.
"Yeah, papa told me that Quirkless is a punishment for something bad he did in his past life." One boy said to a couple of others.
"Well I hear that you can lose your quirk just by being near a Quirkless for too long."
"Whoa, really? Better stay away."
Izuku, he just sat there and took it, and with every insult, whisper, comment, his anger grew and grew. How he wished he could all show them that he was not weak, that he was not a burden, and that he could just kill show them. It was the end of the day and Izuku's rage was about to reach a boiling point. His teacher was talking about basic addition and subtraction math. Izuku focused on the globe on her desk, to block her out. Izuku clenched his hand in anger, refusing to look at the board, when the globe was suddenly crushed into the size of a tennis ball. The noise was horrendous, and everyone turned to look.
The teacher was shocked and called out, "All right, who did that?" Nobody said a word, turning to each other wondering who was responsible.
"Well in that case, I am giving the entire class a warning. Quirk use will not be tolerated in my classroom. The next time someone acts out without permission either, they will get punishment, or everyone will." The teacher said sternly.
Izuku was in shock, 'D-did I do that? No that can't be right, right?' Izuku was starting to internally panic, but didn't let any others know, for a 5-year-old his poker face was amazing.
Alcor had long finished his writing of the Sith Alphabet and had picked up where he had left off that morning, reading about current technology. 'I can't believe the local humans, let technology stagnate this badly in over 200 years. This will be harder to work with than first thought.' As he sat up to continue taping away at the tablet, he felt it, 'Ah, I can feel it, Izuku's heart is slowly turning darker and darker, the more he's pushed around. Don't worry I won't abandon you Izuku.' Alcor stopped his train of thought, as he felt Inko leave to go pickup Izuku from his classes. Once she had locked the door, Alcor deleted any trace he had been on the tablet in question and placed it below the TV set in the living room. 'Now to wait.'
Inko came to pick up Izuku. She could tell something was bugging him but didn't put any pressure on him to tell her. When they both returned home, Izuku made his way to his room and locked the door. She sighed, hoping that what's bugging him will disappear, maybe some leftover katsudan from yesterday as a snack will help. "Oh, there's my tablet."
Izuku opened his door and promptly closed it. He saw Alcor reading something while sitting on his bed. Izuku then proceeded to attempt to get his attention. "Mr. Alcor?" Nothing. "Mr. Alcor?" Again nothing. Izuku sighed and swallowed the pit in his stomach, "Darth Alcor?"
"Oh, hello, welcome back. How was your day?" Alcor finally responded.
"Can't you read my mind?" Izuku bit back.
"Why would I need to read your mind, I already know how bad of a day you had."
Izuku's eye had twitched, "Then why did you ask?"
"It's funny seeing you lose your shit over some innocent teasing."
Izuku was confused, "S-Shit?"
Alcor blinked before facepalming. "Right, I'm dealing with a child not a full-grown adult or even a teenager. Don't worry it's just a word some use for comedy or for anger." Izuku still didn't quite understand but let it go. Izuku sat down and looked at Alcor.
Both sat in silence before Alcor asked, "So, have you given any more thought to my offer?"
Izuku swallowed his fear before replying, "Can you really make me strong? I mean I'm quirkless, useless, I don't have any power."
Alcor gave him a long look before replying, "Who told you that, that you have no power, after all, didn't you crush that globe?"
"W-What?" Izuku didn't think that he did that, did he have a quirk?
Alcor reading his mind quickly voice his disagreement. "No, you don't have a quirk, you have something far, far greater. The ability to use the Force." Izuku was confused.
"What's the force?" Izuku asked.
"The Force is a living entity of sorts, that lives off other life. Unlike parasites the Force is a mutual partnership. That means both entities in question get benefits out of an exchange. Those abilities you've seen me, or yourself perform, that is a result of the force. Your foresight of that Tsubasa kid and crushing the globe. My Holocron, for example, is a container that interacts with the force."
Izuku was stumped, he didn't know exactly what Alcor was talking about, but based on what was said, what Izuku had was not a quirk but something different, perhaps even greater. He didn't know whether to be scared or excited. He did have a question. "How does someone use the force? And why can they?"
Alcor closed his eyes before continuing. "There are many ways to use the force. The Sith Order, the group I am apart of, we all use our emotions to call on the force. We use the passion in our actions to drive us. The Jedi our…rivals, use the promise of peace and compassion in order to use the force, not for themselves but for others."
"Well, the Jedi sound like heroes."
Alcor had this look of disgust on his face that disappeared faster than it appeared. "To many they do seem like heroes, but they are not. The Jedi forsake their own ideals when it became too much to bear and decided to just follow the will of the populace even if it not a good will. The Sith name is a title that can be applied to many, from soldiers, to leaders, to culture to even the original red skinned species." An image appeared in Alcor's hand of a red skinned human like man with yellow eyes.
"Roughly 5000 years ago, the Sith and Jedi were at war. In the end the Sith lost and were cast out. But that simply wasn't good enough for the leader of the Galactic republic, enemies to the Sith at the time. The Sith had lost nearly their entire army, and he wanted more death. So, he ordered the Jedi to go after the remains of the Sith culture and species. In order to destroy a culture, you must destroy the people, and the Jedi did not hesitate to obey. Women, children, even newborns were all killed mercilessly by the Jedi who never once considered their actions. And with that the Sith were all but wiped out, all except a few thousand that managed to escape into unknown space. It wasn't until much later that the Jedi finally felt regret at what they did, but instead of making things public, they buried it. The information and failure of the Jedi was buried so far deep that even to this day, as far as I know, not a single Jedi is aware of what happened. They didn't choose to improve themselves, they instead lied to themselves saying it was for a greater good." Alcor's face was tense, with his right hand tightly clasped. Izuku was horrified, that people the seemed like heroes would do something so atrocious as go after the innocents of the other side, and they didn't even question it, they just obeyed. Izuku then and there swore, he would never become a Jedi. He wouldn't not sacrifice innocents and cover up their misfortune.
"T-this is all true, right?" Izuku asked.
The Five year olf looked into Alcor's eyes, searching for the truth, and in his mind a voice that was unidentifiable ringed out, "He speaks the truth."
Izuku cringed, fear of the jedi starting to build in his young mind. He wanted to be able to protect himself and prove he was not weak. Izuku steeled his resolve before making eye contact again. "I accept your offer for training, Master." Alcor gave a light smile at that.
"All right apprentice, now I have two lessons for you today," Alcor points at the table, "on that table is a packet of Sith Alphabet, I don't expect you to understand for a few years, but once you learn how to properly read and write your own language I'll teach you Sith speech. Now I want to recite the Sith code. It is the basis of which all Sith live, and I believe you'll agree with me about it." Izuku looked from the packet back at Alcor expectedly.
"Now listen to my words, Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken, the force shall free me." With every word Izuku felt a sense of empowerment, before hearing Alcor's voice.
"I want you to repeat the code at least once a day to memorize it. Please do it now."
Izuku complied with Alcor's instruction. And when he was done, he felt even more empowered than before, feeling like he could take on every kid in school in a fist fight win. Alcor had this gleam in his eye that Izuku couldn't identify but didn't bother to question.
"Master, why was I born with the force?" Izuku asked, his logical brain catching up.
Alcor stopped and looked. "*sigh* Alright here is my guess. On this planet there are superpowered humans, right?" A nod. "So, I did some digging into the force to judge the power in the force of the people here and found that those with quirks have lower level of force presence than average, even for the normal human. But the 'Quirkless' have a higher than average force presence, which leads me to believe that quirks can stop the expression for force abilities. Believe it or not, in raw force power you are one of the highest on the planet, so don't ever assume you are powerless, because you are not."
Izuku was wide eyed, learning that the so called 'Quirkless' weren't powerless. Alcor continued. "That being said, don't tell anyone of this information. If people find out you're are this powerful, they will become jealous of you. They will want what you have but can never have it." Izuku looked down before nodding. "This coming weekend I'll be teaching you a few force abilities. One of my favorites is False Aura of Light, esintally, it cloaks you in a blanket of warmth and comfort for force sensitives out there, and they will initially trust you more."
Izuku, was curious but didn't question it. In that brief moment Alcor saw it, a flash of amber in Izuku's eyes that disappeared faster than it appeared. He didn't comment on it before finishing off. "Go watch TV or something, I have to continue working of a plan for you."
Izuku nodded his head before leaving his room. He promptly ran into his mother's leg who was just so happened to be getting him. "Izuku, I can tell you have had a bad day, would like some leftover Katsudan?"
Izuku put on the biggest smile he could, and Inko's heart melted. 'How could anyone so innocent become a monster, it's impossible.' Izuku then ran into his room grabbing his third hero analysis notebook for the future and ran back out towards the kitchen, excited to taste the delicious treat his mother had made.
It's election day in the US of A, if you're old enough and registered, please vote, and even if you have, harass your family who hasn't voted. I don't think anyone wants to keep dragging this year out any further than it needs to be. Well aside from the idiot megalomaniacs that want to keep our current administration.
My reasoning for False Aura of light, is that getting the Quirkless to trust Izuku more would give him for power over people and because the planet is so far out from the rest of the galaxy, no Jedi would come and find out about Izuku.
