Flash-forward/Flashback

SupremeDarkTrooper: Yeah, there are things I like about both Legends and Canon, so I use elements from both. I will not comment at the moment on if your theory is true or not, you simply will have to wait.

Ranger McAleer: Don't worry, you have given me plenty.

Only one more chapter to present names before submissions end. After Ch 7, I will hold a month-long vote, only genuine accounts and not guests may vote. After the Vote is done, I will post a chapter that is the results of the vote. Even if your submission is not picked for the final choice, I will still used submitted names for other Sith, whether in the past or the future. The exact process for making synthetic kyber crystals is not known so, I'm half winging it.

As Izuku and Darth Alcor came to the school building entrance, Alcor reached out with the force to sense any traps before unlocking the door with a small click. They then both entered as Izuku pulled up the floor plans for U.A. in order not to get lost and find the year 3 support department. The support department was in the Northwest segment of the building, due to the odd architecture that has four H's all connected on top of an old building that should have been knocked down years ago. They quietly walked their way along the first floor before reaching the stairs, Alcor once again unlocking the door, both entering the stairwell.

"You know how to do everything right?" Alcor looked at Izuku as he took another step.

Izuku nodded, "Good, while you make the crystals, I will make the parts that your lightsaber need, however, don't think I will leave you, I will also put you in a preservation trance, that reduces the need for food, drink and sleep to nonexistent. Once everything has been prepared and you start, you absolutely cannot move from your place as you meditate on the crystals."

Izuku wasn't sure that he liked the idea of sitting still for four days, but he knew he had no choice if he wanted a lightsaber. However rather than focusing on the upcoming creation of his tools, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched still.

Nedzu watched the man and the child enter the stairwell for the support department and began to think as they climbed. The hidden hallway cameras had no microphones to speak of, but that did not stop the fastest thinking mammal on earth to learn things like JSL, ASL and reading lips. He could only make out a few words due to the angle of the cameras and the fact that they are not fast enough to capture every frame.

"So, they are headed to the support department. What exactly they hope to create while there is the question." Nedzu quietly muttered to himself. He continued to watch as they talked about something to do with things called Kyber crystals, lightsabers, and a force. They stopped on the third floor and made their way to the main support workshop, before the man waved his hand once again and the door unlocked for them. 'The man clearly has multiple quirks, the question is how, human bodies are not naturally born with more then one quirk factor in them yet this man has shown two different abilities maybe more.'

Both the adult and the boy began to use some kind of telekinesis and began to lift many things among the room. They floated all around, a massive power supply, a furnace, some coal, a compressor meant to withstand temperature of over 4,000 Fahrenheit, test tubes, medical solution, really a lot of things that don't seam to correspond to one another.

Izuku was putting together a geological compressor forge meant for creating his synthetic crystals, while his master began to gather components to be his lightsaber. Not wanting to limit his apprentice in what feels right as a lightsaber, he began to gather a little of everything, and when he didn't have something, he used his inorganic manipulation abilities to morph various material into what he needed. He started with the most troublesome one, the power cells, and then moved onto less and less complex components. However, the less complex, the more customizable they are so he has to spend more time on each induvial potential part. Compared the induvial components, the compressor furnace was easy to make.

"Master, I've put together the furnace, and double checked that I did everything right. S-should I commence with the next step?" Alcor nodded as he began to put together a power cell charger. "What are you waiting for, we only have a 5 day period at most before we need to get out."

"I-I'm just scared, w-why do I need to b-bleed on some coal to make these." Alcor stopped what he was doing to look at the younger Sith. "Kyber crystals can technically be classified as living organisms. Without your blood, all it would make is simply a diamond, not an actual kyber crystal. It is the blood itself the gives life to the crystal. Not only that, because it's your blood the Kyber crystal will only react to your force presence, that or someone you pass the crystal onto."

Izuku took a deep breath and steeled his nerves, before taking a clean knife and making a deep enough incision on the palm of his right hand to bring forth blood to use. He brought forth four pieces of coal, all siting in a board, using the force to make it levitate under his hand.

Nedzu who, while still watching the two on the camera, had somehow made himself a brew of caffeinated tea, rare, as he had all but outright been banned from using the stuff, but this constituted it as he knew he needed to stay awake. However, he spit out the brew when he saw the child willingly make an incision along his hand. Nedzu's instincts in protecting children immediately made themselves known before he forces himself to calm down. He knew he could not get worried about this as any sudden moves could endanger the supposed hostage. He watched as the child brought copal under his hand and began to bleed on top of the coal. The child made sure to cover the chunks of carbon with his lifeblood, before grabbing a warping bandage wrapping his hand in the medical warpings. 'Well, that's one answer solved.' At this point Nedzu should have called someone, but he was overconfident in his abilities, and simply tried to do, what he considered the smart idea. However, Nedzu did not know the fire he was playing with could consume all life in the known galaxy if given the opportunity.

On his desktop Nedzu was running a global facial scanning program in order to identify who the male adult was. It had already finished with the child and Nedzu was confused at the big red 'QUIRKLESS' where his quirk should be, but he knew that if the doctors did everything correctly, that should be true. However, considering the results of this information and the man who has yet to be identified in any way, he's leaning on the possibility that they both posses some superhuman abilities that would not be considered quirks. He had considered the All For One doing this, but he knows the man is not present in the country at the moment due to lack of underground chatter, reported by his former student Eraserhead. Not only that but the program had just finished and nobody in the world exactly matches the man in question. The closest was 27 year old American who died tragically in a villain attack almost 50 years prior. He wanted to believe that the man was an AFO agent, but due to the fact there is quite literally no trace of him ever, it's next to impossible.

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. He both loved and hated that saying, but in the current circumstance, it seems appropriate. So now he's dealing with two individual people that can use something that is not a quirk, oh how he loved the world for throwing these curveballs at him. The chimera watched as young Midoriya put the blood covered coal into an opening in the jumbled together furnace.

"Master I'm about the start the furnace." At this Alcor put down the piece of metal he was holding and stood up, walking to Izuku. He nodded at him, and Izuku started the furnace before sitting down. Alcor began to pace around Izuku who had closed his eyes losing himself in the force, making sure to focus the darkside on the coal inside the furnace. Alcor began to chant in Sith casting sorcery on Izuku in order to make sure he would not need biological needs for the next 96 hours, before returning to what he was doing in producing various lightsaber, he knew he was going to be bored once he was done but knew this was necessary. Although that classroom computer is looking appealing. And he could make fine electronics for the future ship to build so maybe he's not going to be as bored as he thought.

Nedzu had just watched them for three hours now, and Midoriya had yet to leave form his position on the floor, not even making a single sudden twitch. If it wasn't for the fact that he still gave off heat on the thermal cameras he would have though the boy had died. As much as he hated it, he still needed to get some sleep, so putting an alarm on when the workshop door or windows open up, he would immediately be woken up, the same would be true if the child moved. Nedzu went to his room to get some sleep not liking the situation, but his curiosity was getting the better of him.

When Nedzu woke up 5 hours later due to an inability to sleep fully due to paranoia and a semi-repressed memory of his past as a lab rat, his first thing to do was check the cameras, and once again Midoriya had yet to move. The Man however had finished making various metal parts, with that odd molding ability of his, and was now making delicate electric circuit boards, that were so small he could tell exactly what they were on the HD security camera. Despite his protests his body refused to be swayed from getting food. He turned open the security monitor on his phone before going to the cafeteria, making sue to avoid the support department in the event that the man could somehow hear him.

-Time Skip-

He continued to watch the room as he got food, but he began to think. Who these people are, they came here not to cause chaos but to use a fully functional lab. Clearly, they had little to no malicious intent, otherwise they would have went to the server room or the faculty lounge to gather information to later use, but perhaps these people can be convinced of a better path.

-Time Skip-

Almost four days had passed since Midoriya began the process and Nedzu was once again shocked that this child who had remained still for four days had yet to move. Clearly he underestimated the capabilities of these two immensely and hoped that if they could be persuaded, they could teach others this. He saw that the still unnamed man was long done with what ever he was doing and packed away what he made in two large carboard boxes undoubtedly going to be carried via telekinesis. He was now just wasting time on the classroom computer enjoying the frivolous use of the internet. Nedzu turned his search flagging program on yet nothing ever came to light pointing the two as malicious. However, the man suddenly jerked his head, panic present on his face as he looked at the boy.

Alcor had felt it the initial wave that symbolized the creation of synthetic crystals, then a second much more powerful wave was felt before he could do anything to reign it in. Alcor knew the planet was a Pseudo-Force Nexus due to the abundance of life which meant that the presence would be boosted and both Light and Darkside users would feel it, and his apprentice was not yet prepared to handle the outside conflicts. He then began to expand all of his force capability in order to suppress the incoming 3 sets of waves, no matter what he will not allow Jedi or other Sith discover this planet until the child in front of him is ready.

And Alcor was slammed with so much power that he almost fell to his semi-translucent knees. But bit the inside of his cheek and kept gritting his teeth as the third set of waves began to hit him even worse than the second set.

In the United States, A Massive blond-haired man felt a dark shiver down his spine, his body reacting appropriately. His blue eye pupils shuck in instinctive fear. 'This feeling, it's even worse than anything All For One could ever produce. I hope I don't ever meet such a dangerous force.'

"Toshinori? Are you okay? What happened?" A brown haired, glasses wearing man asked his former crime fighting partner, and brother in all but blood. Toshinori Yagi, AKA All Might shook his head before turning to David Shield. He was here to discuss the construction of a new All Might costume that should hopefully be durable enough to survive the inevitable fight with AFO. "Perfectly fine David my friend, now where were we on the costume?" David was unsure but eventually let it go to continue the suit, "So the main material is modified, stretchable ballistic fiber and the Suit can also be compressed to an incredibly small size."

In a few rooms away lied the 8-year-old girl, Melissa Shield, quietly sleeping. She had her Father and her Uncle Might, but her life has not always been easy, a theme for Quirkless people like her. In her mind she heard something, "Come find me."

A few miles away there was a small cave system that was a frequent visit for many tourists and hidden deep in these cave systems a small glowing shape could be found. It was a four-sided pyramid that glowed red. A Holocron. If one was force sensitive, they could hear the voice of Darth Alcor, sceaming and plotting.

Hego Damask, known as Darth Plagueis and Sheev Palpatine, known as Darth Sidious, was sitting apart in a trance practicing with the darkside of the force clouding the perception of Lightsiders, when they both felt it. "Master! T-That was…" For perhaps the first time in his life Sidious stuttered, he could sense what that was, the creation of a Kyber crystal, in the same direction as the child who won against the darkside over a year prior. Knowing how to make synthetic crystals was only known by the Sith and Jedi orders, no minor cult knew how to make them. Both Sith knew what this meant was that this child in question, he is undoubtedly Sith himself.

Plagueis frowned as he delved into the force question what he can find out of this child. "This young Sith, he has yet to become a Sith lord, but the Force is telling me that it's only a matter of time before he undergoes the renaming ceremony by his master." Sidious frowned before opening his mouth. "Can you tell who his master is? They clearly go against the Rule of Two, which make them a threat." Plagueis let out a sigh at his apprentice's paranoid fear.

"Lord Sidious, the rule of two is archaic and useless, we needn't worry about this as I'm sure these two other Sith will be persuaded to join our takeover of the galaxy, the force is predicting that they will leave the unknown planet they are on after all." Sidious frowned before replying to his master's statement. "Very well Master, but can you tell who the boy's master is exactly, I'm trying myself, but I have having difficulty at my current level of experience." Plagueis nodded knowing Sidious needed at least another decade, before he could be considered a master, but did not comment on his view on the rule of two. He knows Sidious would not let it go so easily but he has time, and he is patient. Plagueis began to delve into the Darkside of the force. He investigated the darkside for answers. "Darth Alcor…" Plagueis nodded as he left the space. He looked at his apprentice before speaking.

"His master's name is Darth Alcor." Sidious nodded, "So they are Sith." "Clam yourself, this presents many opportunities for the Sith objective. Come Sidious, I recognize that name and know where we can go to get more information." Sidious got up an followed his master. They were on the Sith facility on Coruscant as they didn't need to worry about Maul at the moment. Sidious recognized the path they were on to the room of Holocron for lesser known Sith, Sidious rarely studied under them as he thought it more prudent to study under true dark lords, not some half ass pretenders. Plagueis unlocked the door with the force without needing to wave his hand before entering. He made his way to a Sith era specific section, before reaching out with the force to find his target. When he knew he had what he needed he levitated the Holocron, leaving the vault with Sidious in tow as the entered a small meditation room. He focused on the Holocron before it opened.

To Sidious's shock unlike other Holocron which would create a small translucent form, this one seeped red fog, solidifying in a translucent around the edges form of a Sith man. The Man in question looked at the Muun first before turning his attention to the 38-year-old man. "Well, I don't know who you two are, but my name is Alcor, Darth Alcor. Nice to meetcha." Alcor gave a sinister grin like the figurative devil himself. "So what can I do for two fellow Sith Lords?"

Knight Mace Windu had just finished a diplomatic mission requested by the senator of Bando'va and was now reporting to the council of the success (and boredom, although he would die before admitting that) of the mission. Grandmaster Yoda of the Jedi Order nodded his head in appreciation of the Knights success. "Thank you, this council, does, knight Windu. Another mission, like would you, or rest?"

"Thank you, Master Yoda, Honorable Council, I would like just two days of rest before I…" Something hit Mace like a two-ton speeder in the Force, and by the reactions of the council it hit them as well. "M-Masters, what was that just now." One of the council members, Yan Dooku, regained his composure, I'm not sure Knight Windu but whatever it is, it's Darkside in nature. Please do not inform anyone else of this as we the council will discuss what this means, in private." Mace took the clue as he left the chamber quickly.

"Worrisome this is, know not if friend or foe this is." "But Master Yoda you felt it, that was undoubtedly the Darkside." One council member exclaimed in shock as he looked at the green grandmaster. "Silent, you will be, darkside it was, malicious it was not. But correct to a degree you are. For the worst, prepare we will."

Deep inside the Jedi Vault there was a forbidden section that even council members are warned against going into. This forbidden section contained 13 Sith Holocrons all sealed away, however one began to gain a small glow. Inside the voice of Darth Alcor could be heard, 'So it begins.'

Alcor fell to his knees panting is exhaustion, panting despite not having any actual lungs, as he looked up at Izuku who was due to exit the trance any moment. Alcor only had to wait about another half hour, before Izuku left the trance, him falling on his back his mental exhaustion causing him to almost crash. "M-Master, I'm tired." Alcor nodded, "Take a nap, I'll wake you in an hour. We'll gather everything, and while you sleep, I'll dismantle the furnace, it's to big to take with us." With that Izuku let himself fall asleep on the floor while Alcor turned the furnace off, removing the storage compartment, without opening it and began to tear apart the forge. Izuku deserved to be the first to see his new kyber crystals first, after all they are tuned to him and him alone. As he let the hotter parts cool, he moved the smaller, less hot parts back to where they came from.

He then, once finished with the forge, wiped any trace he had been on the classroom computer looking up various biological sciences. He gathered the various lightsaber components for Izuku, the future apprentice his other Holocron on the planet would find, and potentially whatever future apprentice Izuku might have if he finds a good candidate before leaving the planet. He then began to plan in his head as he waited for Izuku to finish with his quick nap.

Nedzu was relived as the child finally moved before sweat dropping as the child falls asleep, clearly despite the lack of biological needs, he was still mentally exhausted. Nedzu closed by his laptop lid and made his way to the support department making sure to be as quiet as possible, in order to avoid detection. As he approached, he could begin to hear things hitting each other, no doubt in midair, but he pushed down his curiosity in order to make sure that negotiations do not fall through the roof. He then took a seat across from the entryway of the 3rd year support course workshop.

He could hear the voices clearly, the man due to deepness of the voice spoke first. "Apprentice, it is time to get up." Midoriya ground as some cloths rustling could be heard, probably from him sitting up from his sleeping position. "Master…" Midoriya groaned. The man, his 'Master' said a few words in a language Nedzu had never heard of before, when suddenly he heard the child exclaim in shock. "Wow that's a wake-up call. Thank you master." The adult hummed before replying. "You will be getting a lot of sleep when we get you back, a four-day trance will leave you very exhausted even with that power nap of yours. The spell is simply a temporary stop gap, it will wear off before long." Were they talking about magic, unlikely but possible. "I will carry the two boxes; do you want to wait for us to get back before revealing your kyber crystals?" "Yes master, after I sleep though." The door began to open and when Alcor took two steps before he froze in place. "Master what's wrong…" Midoriya then froze when he looked at what he was seeing.

"I could be a dog or a mouse or a bear, but most importantly, I'm the principle!" Nedzu gave a small smile as he looked at the two trespassers. Alcor could only say one thing, "Fucking sithspit." After a year of studying the local culture, the human swear words felt better then the galaxy wide known ones, but old habits die hard so he simply merged. "Now, now, one shouldn't ever curse in front of an impressionable child."
