Chapter 67: The Bloodline of Raven

Within the Star forge we see Connor looking on a long aline of machines making battle droids, vehicles, fighters and ships as Connor stood on the second floor balcony looking down at this when the dooe opens behind him and Darth Khulfa came in as he stop in front of the door while Connor knows he is behind him and so he ask while he doesn't turn to him.

Connor: What do you want?

Darth Khulfa: I was inform your "friends" has the first relic to mother and defeated our armies attack. You must be very proud for those flesh bags.

Connor: They are not my friends. Not anymore.

Darth Khulfa: Right because you betray them and your kind for the machines. How does that feel?

Connor: Your just here to annoy me?

Darth Khulfa: That's only half of it. What I really want to know is why Ziggy allow you to join us? You may serve the Republic for sometime but your just a captain so why would Ziggy would ever allow you in? Is it because you hated humanity? Is it because Ziggy has something that interest you......Or was it something that you want from Ziggy that made you to betray your friends.

Connor falls silent as he squeezes his hands onto the metal bars which Darth Khulfa can sense and goes on to say.

Darth Khulfa: You know I was just like any other androids. I believe humans and androids are suppose to live in this world in peace. That's what I thought. But when those humans torment me, discriminate me and treat the rest like scum....I was filled with rage. So much rage in fact I suddenly realised I can use the force. How you may ask? Simple......I killed a human by chocking him without even touching him and he falls to the ground dead. It made me realise humanity is weak and the machines are fit to rule the universe. I wanted to start a revolutionary bit Ziggybeat me and I was force to serve under him due to my knowledge of the star forge. But I secretly hated Ziggy, he maybe powerful but he's pathetic just. Like. You.

He then place his robotic hand onto Connors shoulder as he begins to tell him.

Darth Khulfa: I would rip your organic heart out of your chest right here and now and no one will never know what happened to you.

They stood there for sometime and then Darth Khulfa let's go and says.

Darth Khulfa: But I won't. Because once Ziggy is gone then I'll be in charge and all of this will be mine and I will kill you in front of every droid to make it as an example and a reminder how weak humans really are. Enjoy as best you can "captain" it will not last.

He then leaves Connor be as he stood there alone now as he looks on and remind himself why he is here.

(Meanwhile)

On a mysterious planet we find Gray, Weisz, Pino and Homura walking through a snow like landscape as they wear coats to keep themselves warm as they soon reach their destination.

They approach what seems like a underground entrance with the entrance way shut as Pino begins to scan the written on the door.

Pino: It appears to be in sith writing. This is a sith template.

Homura: Does this might contain another relic of mother?

Weisz: Why would a relic be within a sith temple?

Gray: Let's not forget there were a lot of siths left to the unknown region near the end of the Old Republic era. There is a possibility that some must have find one and lock it here.

Weisz: Can you open it?

Gray node as he kneel down and shut his eyes. He focused his best and soon there was a shake and the door begins to open, revealing large stairs that go down beneath the surface as Gray stood up and look down of the steps.

Gray: It's open let's head in.

Pino: We might lose community if we go down there. May I suggest two of us will stay up here while the other two wil go down and get it.

Weisz: Smart move Pino. Okay I'll stay up here with Pino while Homura and Gray will go down.

Gray: (smirk) You scared?

Weisz: No! I just......wanted to stay up here thats all.

Homura and Pino: Your scared.

Weisz: No I'm not!

Gray: (sigh) Okay then let's go Homura.

Homura nodes and the two go down while Weisz and Pino stay up in the surface. The two climb down the steps until they reach a long hallway which they begin to walk through.

Gray: So Homura....how are things?

Homura: Pretty good. What about yourself?

Gray: Good just glad to be working with you all. Disbite trying to kill you all a way back.

Homura: No need to fee ashame of your past evil deeds, others can change.

Gray: (smile) Yeah. I guess I'm glad I've change my ways because of you all.

Homura: (smile) We are friends. We stay together.

Gray node and soon they reach a door that is dark at the other side. Gray walks through and active his red saber to light up to see a staircase that goes deeper.

Gray: Looks like it goes deeper. We might need to call in back up and-

Suddenly the door between them closes as the two gets separated as Homura rush over and slam hee fist.

Homura: Gray! Gray! You okay?

Gray: Yeah I'm okay! Hold on let me try t-

???: Gray.......Gray.

He froze for a moment and he turns to the staircase. He couldn't hear Homura behind him anymore so without thinking he decent downwards. He goes deeper and deeper into the sith temple unril he reaches the bottom.

He walks through the doors only to enter a massive long room with statues of sith Lords along with ancient writing on it.

Gray has a feeling he isn't alone and then he felt something calling to him. He follows it as he walks deeper to the temple, turning corners and following it until he can see it.

He sees red light glowing around the corner and when he turn the corner he sees a sith holocron sitting in the middle of the hallway and giving off this red glow.

He approaches it and he pick it up. He stare at the holocron and he doesn't know why but he begins to open it with the force. Suddenly there was a flash of red light that blinds Gray for a moment.

He open his eyes and look around to see nothing at first but then he heard a mysterious voice behind him.

???: I have been waiting for you Gray.

Immediately he spin around to see a ghostly like figure while he active his light saber and aims it at the ghostly figure.

Gray: Who are you?! How do you know my name?

??? Because we are related Gray.

Gray: Related? What do you mean?

Then the ghostly figure begins to change. It change so Gray can see him clearly as the figure shows Gray who he is.

Raven: My name is Raven. I am your ancestor.

Gray: You don't say. Then how is this possible? How can I communicate with you?

Raven: It is because od this temple. This temple is made to communicate to dead siths related to whoever comes here. It is forve the next generation of siths to communicate to their ancestors.

Gray: So......why are you here?

Raven: Walk with me.

Raven hovers away as Gray stood there and looks back but decides to follow Raven as they begin to chat.

Raven: We both share a path.

Gray: What do you mean?

Raven: I was once a jedi only to be corrupted by the dark side and become a sith only to change back from the light and later on battle my struggles to control my darkness and light until my death. You too share this path haven't you?

Gray: Yes I have. I was once a sith only to redeem myself and save lives. However I can't feel but be guilty for my past actions. Even though my friends told me I have changed.....I struggle to forgive myself.

Raven: Guilt is something we all must carry. I had many guilt in the past and I still have right now. I lead my jedi to battle against the Mandalorians, believing we are fighting for a right cost.....only to have others to fall and me do the most unspeakable acts ever made. Including the acts I've done while as a sith lord. Guilt is painful and there is no way of getting rid of it.....but we can use it as a lesson to others and show them the right way.

Gray: Maybe. Still I struggled myself.

Raven: That maybe so but you have those that care for you and people that guide you towards a better path. Soon you will do the same to them.

Gray: What do you mean?

They soon come across a large hole that seem to be bottomless as Gray looks down. Then a massive beam of light shoots up and Gray steps back as Raven tells him.

Raven: There maybe a day when all of your friends will fall to this darkness. Maybe one or all will but you will be the one that will guide them the right path. Show them hope and be the one that will lead them to victory. It may not remove the guilt that is within your heart but fully redeeming yourself by helping them in their darkness hour.

Gray: When will that come?

Raven: I cannot say but when the time comes you will show your care and the lessons you have taught by others and show them the path. If they see goodness within you.....then it means there is a purpose for you towards your friends.

Gray stood there in silence and then Raven reach over to his ghostly mask and took it out of his face and holds it over to Y/n.

Raven: I once guide those to achieving their goals and now it is your turn. Guide them....in their darkness hour.

Gray looks at the mask for a moment and then he slowly move his hand towards the mask. His hand gets close and then he grabs it as everything became dark.

(Meanwhile)

Homura return to the surface to tell Weisz and Pino what happened which Weisz immediately said.

Weisz: Looks like we have to call in back up right now?

???: No need.

They quickly turn and sees Gray coming up the steps looking fine and normal as they rush over to him.

Pino: (smile) Your okay!

Weisz: What the hell happened down there? Did you find anything?

Gray: Just this.

He pulls out a mask which they look at it with confusing on their faces.

Weisz: Um cool mask....I guess?

Homura: So there was no relic of mother?

Gray: Nope.

Weisz: Well I'm getting cold so let's get out of here.

The three of them begin to walk away while Gray looks at the mask of Raven and then he turn and sees the ghost od Raven standing behind him with his face as he give Gray a smile while Gray smiles back and he walks away.

Raven: (smile) May the force be with you. Always.
