Wolves567: Your math is off, plus I stated what year in BBY it is. But other than that, Yeah, poor Ana Lee, she may not die this chapter or the next, but she will die.
Acnologius Prime 08, Sage of chaos: Here you go.
Ranger McAleer: Thank you for even more submissions. I will take down the two that sound most interesting.
Jared Knight: I like Darth Ferno.
Val: Darth Aku No is a great name, thanks you for the suggestion.
SupremeDarkTrooper: Thank you for the explanation of how the force works, I will adapt some of the ideas you have but, in my Fic, Midi-clorians help augment the force connection, and can grow over time.
Warning I do not own. My Hero Academia or the Star Wars franchise.
*BAM* Two wooden staffs slammed against each other. The staffs were 1 meter long with two indented stone handles, to give a simulated weight. Alcor had Izuku buy the wooden staffs and Alcor made the handles using matter manipulation, a force technique that warps inorganic material into new shapes. It's not that it doesn't work on organics, it's that said material is constantly shifting, living or dead so the complexity is difficult to work with. After a year Izuku's force prowess has reached a point where it is more than adequate for Alcor. Izuku's False Aura now would fool the best of knights and even some dimwitted masters in the Jedi Order. However, Alcor still pressed the growth of the technique, stating "Stagnation is death for a Sith Lord." Alcor was currently teaching Izuku the first form of lightsaber combat, Shii-Cho, the original lightsaber combat style that was rudimentary but a good base. It was often overlooked by many, but it still was useful to have.
"Stop." Both came to a halt as Izuku finally caught his breath. He was sweating heavily and panting as he fell to the ground in exhaustion. "Apprentice, recite the Sith code."
"Pea-" Alcor shook his head, "In the Sith language." Izuku huffed out before speaking.
"Nwûl tash. Dzwol shâsotkun. Shâsotjontû châtsatul nu tyûk. Tyûkjontû châtsatul nu midwan. Midwanjontû châtsatul nu asha. Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak. Wonoksh Qyâsik nun."
Alcor nodded his head, "Zyemus. Apprentice, as well and good battling with these sticks are you need a real weapon, so I have the solution for you. A Lightsaber."
"Master, what exactly is a lightsaber?" Alcor looked at Izuku for a minute before face palming himself and beginning a string of curses in Sith directed at himself. Izuku just sat there not understanding the words coming from Alcor's mouth.
'I never told him about lightsabers, isn't that like Sith or Jedi apprentice 101. I just know the past Sith Lords and Masters are looking down on me for being this much of a failure.' Alcor was pacing with his right eye twitching. He took a deep breath before sitting down to begin explaining.
"Apologies apprentice, but I forgot to mention lightsabers. Lightsabers at the weapons primarily used by Jedi and Sith. HOWEVER, that does not mean no-one else can use it. Any force sensitive with a small amount of training can create a lightsaber. And even non-force sensitives can become proficient enough to wield the blades like masters. Take this lesson to your core, a good strategy is to slightly overestimate your enemy. If they wield a saber, plucked from the carcass of a fallen warrior, believe them to be experts. Do not let your guard down."
"Master when am I going to encounter another lightsaber wielder on this planet? This is unknown space according to you, who found this planet by pure luck." Alcor gave him a stare before gaining a small smile. "Apprentice, you must understand that I never planned on keeping you on this planet. Right know in my Holocron I am compiling the blueprints for a ship and am constantly modifying them." Izuku had a look of shock on his face. "I want you to enter the greater galaxy and gain even more knowledge and power, more then what I alone can provide. Staying in one place will make you stagnate as you do not face new enemies, new situations."
"But master, this is my home are you asking me to abandon it?" Alcor shook his head, "Of course not. I intend for you to return after some time, what you wish to do, is up to you. But personally, I want you to succeed Vitiate. He was one of the most successful Sith Masters ever to live, and I want you to be better than he ever was. But the first step on a future path of infinite possibilities is crafting a Lightsaber."
"W-Who was Vitiate?" Izuku felt the Force shiver at the mention of the name and was almost afraid to ask. "That, apprentice, is for another day. Come, let me explain how a lightsaber is made." Alcor made his way off the training field and dissolved into his Holocron. Izuku quickly made his way to pick up the Holocron and go home.
Back home Izuku sat on the floor in a meditation position waiting on his master. Alcor sat on Izuku bed before beginning his explanation of a lightsaber. In his hand an illusion took place with six part to what Izuku assumed was a lightsaber.
"Now, there are 6 fundamental parts to a lightsaber. The first is the power cells that store the energy for the Lightsaber to function. These power cells can hold more energy than some power plants produce on this planet, but do not worry, I have the schematics for a fusion generator to make up for that. Next is the Pommel or the butt end of the saber, it is typically where the power cell is stored for easy replacement, but some choose to have it other places. The third part is the central chamber, it houses the most important part of the lightsaber, the fourth part is the grip, this helps your hold on the saber and is custom to every wielder. The fifth part is the emitter, this is more aesthetic choices then practical, but some do have theory uses. And the sixth part, the most important part of them all. The Kyber crystal and if one wants a focusing crystal." In Alcor's palm it showed a red translucent stone.
"There are many different types of Kyber crystals out there. For the Jedi, the crystal chooses them, for the Sith, we have two ways of acquiring a crystal. The first is killing a Jedi and taking their crystal for oneself." Izuku reeled in shock at this. "The second method is to create our own crystals. We use a specialized furnace and the force to forge these crystals. They produce Synthetic Adegan crystals, some of the most powerful and most rare crystals out there." Izuku then had a question, "Master if the second method is better than the first, why don't all Sith do it?"
"Ah but there lies the problem, creating a synth crystal is not without problems, one is that it is a process that takes place over 96 hours, or four days, and two, creating a crystal creates massive waves in the force, that can be felt by all force sensitives. Some may not understand it, but it does happen. The last time I felt such a shock was 5 years ago, and even then, this planet is so far out that I barely felt it. I doubt anyone else did either on this planet. However, I doubt we are going to find a cave of natural Kyber crystals growing on this planet, so we will go make you four crystals, Two main and two focusing crystals. These focusing crystals help increase the power and control to your lightsaber."
Izuku looked at Alcor with a questioning look after spending five minutes digesting what he was told. "Master, where are we going to create the crystals?" Alcor looked at Izuku and smiled. "That is up to you." "W-What?!" Alcor shook his head in an exasperated sigh.
"If you want a true Sith weapon, you need to find the best location to create said crystal. Some simple lab won't do either, it has to be the most advanced lab you can get to. Do some research and find your preferred pick. However, do not believe that I will not be assisting you, come tomorrow I have an area I want to show you."
Izuku was following Alcor as he held the Holocron, deep into the same forest where Izuku first found the Holocron. Alcor made his way into a clearing about 10 square feet large, before kneeling down and brushing away some dirt. After about a minute Alcor rapped his rand against the ground it is making a large clanging sound. "M-Master?"
Alcor brought his finger to his mouth in a silencing motion before waving his hand above the ground *CLANK* and then an opening made itself known about a meter in diameter with rungs of a ladder leading down. Alcor dissolved into red smoke and went into the opening going down into the dark abyss. Izuku decided to follow by placing his foot on the ladder, slowly descending.
When Izuku got to the bottom all he could see was an expanding darkness. "Master?" As Izuku tried to find his way in what dim light came form the entrance he heard a hum come to life. And suddenly the lights came on blinding Izuku momentarily and an audible *CLICK*
"Ahh" Izuku yelled out as he rubbed his eyes, "So the backup generator still works, good to know" Izuku heard as Alcor came out from an open doorway, it shutting behind him automatically. Alcor looked at Izuku before gaining a small smile and began, "Look around apprentice, this empty space I constructed before leaving my Holocron in that cave, it is roughly 100 sq meters, and it is the perfect place to work and begin on working on your lightsaber and fusion generator to power everything."
Izuku looked around, the metallic walls everywhere. Like the door Alcor had come out of the was a second and third door, one adjacent to the ladder, and the other adjacent to the room that housed the small generator. Izuku then pointed to the two doors, Alcor understanding told him what they were. "The room that is on the far wall of the entrance is a living space, a small rest area, a kitchen, and a freshener, or as you like to call it, a bathroom, no tub though." Alcor smirked at that little joke before pointing to mystery door number 2, that is a storeroom for supplies or weaponry, it has one thing I want you to get, come now apprentice." Izuku silently followed as Alcor opened the door.
The storeroom was much mor dimly lit, and had a few devices lining the walls that looked like firearms, but more advanced, but then Alcor suddenly stopped and turned to his right in the narrow storeroom, before waving his hand again. Then an opening in the flat wall made itself known, and when Izuku looked in he saw was a long metal tube, it had a 5-pointed end that extended by half an inch, and a black warping abound the center of it, while the other end was simply flat and barren. The tube flew into Alcor's hand as they both made their way back out, before Alcor looked at Izuku. And with a flash of red, the tube created a beam of light, that had a white center and red hue. Alcor gained a smirk, "What is this apprentice?"
Izuku only had took look for a moment to recognize it, "Wait, that's a LIGHTSABER! Master, didn't you say that I need to make one?!" Alcor shook his head in amusement his eye gaining a mischievous look to them. "Of course, you have to make your own sabers, did you think I was just going to give you the answer by simply letting you have mine, after all how will I taking you in saber combat with only one saber?" Izuku had no comeback to that and decided to close his mouth before he made himself look like a fool.
"I'm going back to the Holocron, leave the saber here, as I can't carry it in the Holocron, and we don't need anyone finding out about such a device yet." "Y-yet?" Alcor said nothing as he dissolved into his red fog. Izuku left the saber, despite his desire to use it, on the floor of the underground space, before leaving though the exit, as the entrance slammed close, once it sensed he had left. Knowing his master would not be pleased with the discovery of the bunker, by some random civilian, however unlikely, he covered the entrance up with some dirt, before leaving the clearing.
Throughout the next month, Alcor showed Izuku, though illusions, how one created a synth crystal, and what it would entail. While Izuku studied the process in depth and looked for ideal locations to create the Kyber crystals. Two locations had what he needed, but one was to far, and too heavily guarded to get to. The other however…
Izuku began to draw up plans to get into the lab in question, as Alcor tore though the old small generator for the bunker, upgrading it to increase power output, and began to install new emergency systems into it in if this place is discovered. In the event someone forced their way in without the force, or a key, the generator was to burn itself and the various electronics out, to make everything unsalvageable. It was a force dammed miracle, that no one came across the bunker yet. As Alcor finished up, Izuku entered the small space.
"Master, I have found the location and have made a plan in question." Alcor looked over his shoulder, to look at the tablet Izuku was using. "UA High huh, well explain this plan to me in detail apprentice." Izuku nodded before continuing. "In one week, the school gets out for a month for vacation, the hero course students out in studies, while the teachers don't come, leaving the security system in place."
"Oh and how are you going to get past the security?" Izuku looked sheepish at that, "I'm so sorry, I was hoping that youcouldbutifyoudont-" Alcor put his hand up, "Stop, one I've been growing your backbone for the past year now, don't let it disappear yet, and two, using what resources you have, you know that I'm very technology savvy so you're using my talents to your goal, very good." Izuku looked confused, he thought, Alcor was going to give him a head migraine for that.
"Izuku, I am a Sith master, and you are a Sith apprentice in training. We, as Sith lords, use others to reach our goals, just because you are starting to do this does not mean I will punish you." Izuku almost fainted at the shock then relief, that Alcor gave to him. Alcor then made a sign to continue. "So, uh, after I get in, I will access the lab in question and create a geological compressor that can create four simultaneous crystals over a four-day period, with regular breaks. After we are done, I use a fifth day to gather parts that I need for my sabers, and then we leave, after you remove any trace we were there."
Alcor closed his eyes and nodded. "Not a bad plan for a six-year-old Sith apprentice, while there are a few holes that can go wrong, at least I'll be there to get rid of any issues, alright we will use your plan."
"Hey Zuzu?" Izuku was lying on his back, with his feet up the wall, "yeah Ana?" Ana lee looked back at Izuku, "What do you wanna be when you grow up?" Both Izuku and Ana were having a play date in Izuku's room while Inko talked with Mrs. Lee. They had been best friends for over a year and did not regret it at all.
"W-well, I wanted to be a hero, but now I'm not so sure." Ana looked at Izuku in awe, "Are you kidding, I bet you'd be the best hero ever!" Izuku looked at Ana in shock, "R-really?" Ana nodded her head fast.
"Yeah! You're smart and you're determined, I'd bet you would be a greater hearo then even All Might, and I would be your biggest Fan!" Izuku who was worried then gained a determined look on his face. "Y-Yeah! Izuku Midoriya Number 1 hero! Symbol of…Hope!"
Inko and Mrs. Lee, Samantha, could overhear Izuku and Ana talking about heroes, before both giggled. Inko looked at Samantha, "So how long until you think the hook up?" Samantha got a grin on her face, "I don't know, but if they aren't dating by the end of middle school, I'm forcing both of them on a date."
It was night, the moon was out, and Alcor had placed a force compel on Inko to not look for Izuku the following week no matter what and not to leave the house at all. This was to reduce the chance of police being called due to a 5-day disappearance. He also placed a compel on Ana and her two parents as well as Bakugou and his two parents, all not looking for Izuku that week.
As they approached the gate of UA Alcor could sense a few animal lifeforms in the building but no humans. He made himself fog before going over the gate to find a terminal to hack the system. After finding a computer, he opened the gates enough for Izuku to pass though. As they made their way into the building entrance which had been unlocked for the same terminal.
"Master, I feel like the building is watching me." Alcor looked at Izuku before looking around. "Odd, I didn't sense any human lifeforms in here just some animals, maybe the building has its own AI, oh that would be fun.
Contrary to popular belief, Nedzu did have a home outside of UA. However, being the principal of such a high institution has afforded him some luxury, in the form of a small bedroom connected to his office, when he must stay long nights, and best part is due to his small size, no one can complain about him using a closet for a bedroom. After a long day of filing paperwork for the various course, going though applications for new staff, and reading complaints about various students, that he was about to go to bed, when his computer screen lit up. He promptly returned to his desk to figure out the problem…
Yeah, that wasn't good, two people broke into UA, and one of them appears to be a child, not good at all. However, Nedzu is still a Pro Hero, so instead of contacting police, he decided to watch these two for what their goal was, and hopefully separate the child from the adult after figuring out what quirks they have. He assumed that the adult could turn into fog, but his instincts are screaming at him that there is more to that then meets the eye, latterly, his eyes were glowing amber, and that is not natural, no matter how you look at it.
'I honestly thought this month was going to be boring, how interesting.'
Still taking submissions. And before you get salty, Nedzu is still an animal, one with a quirk, but an animal, nonetheless. Submissions are still open, and I am still waiting for them
