chapter 22 a lightsaber so cold it burns

3rd Person POV.

Right now the students and teachers of are enjoying themselves at the dance all except 3 people and those people would be Ruby, Jaune, and Xo-zeion who are currently hanging out at the punch bowl.

Jaune: so you guys are hanging out the punch bowl to?

Ruby: yep

Xo-zeion: affirmative

Jaune raised his glass in a toast.

Jaune: to being socially awkward

Xo-zeion and Ruby: here here

The three of them touch their glasses together and begin to take a sip of their punch.

Ruby: I'm so sorry things didn't work out with Weiss.

Jaune: nah it's fine Neptune's pretty cool I get why she went out with him

Ruby: what do you mean?

Jaune: well come on not many people could pull off blue hair

Ruby: no I mean Weiss came to the dance alone.

Jaune: what?

Jaune looks to his right to see Weiss adjusting flowers in a vase all by herself.

Ruby: yeah she said she had too much to focus on to worry about boys.

Jaune starts to become so visibly enraged both Darth Celleus and Xo-zeion can feel his anger building up in the force

Jaune: hold my punch

Jaune hands his punch to Xo-zeion and Jaune makes his way over to Neptune with an angry look on his face but is stopped by Pyrrha in a red dress walking past him and up a set of stairs Jaune decides to follow Pyrrha.

Jaune: hey Pyrrha

Pyrrha: hey Jaune

Jaune: you okay? I haven't seen you tonight

Pyrrha: I arrived late I'm afraid

Jaune: well you look really nice

Pyrrha: thank you

Jaune: your uh date isn't going to beat me up for saying that is he?

Pyrrha: I think you're safe for tonight

Jaune: so where is the guy?

Pyrrha looks at Jaune

Pyrrha: there is no guy

Jaune: uh W-what?

Pyrrha: nobody asked me

Jaune: but that's.................you're Pyrrha Nikos!!!......h-how could nobody asked you?

Pyrrha: I've been blessed with Incredible talents and opportunities I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place everyone assumes I'm too good for them that I'm on a level they simply cannot Attain it's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people that's what I like about you when we met you didn't even know my name you treated me just like everyone else and thanks to you I've made friendships that will last a lifetime I guess you're the kind of guy I wish I was with here with someone who just saw me for me.

Pyrrha began to leave.

Jaune: W-what

Neptune: hey uh..........Jaune right?

Jaune sighs

Jaune: yeah

Neptune: this party is pretty lame huh I mean ballroom dancing come on.

Jaune: yeah

Neptune: cute girls though huh

Jaune grunts at Neptune's comment.

Jaune: is that all you think about?

Neptune: huh?

Jaune: d-do you even care about the girls you're hitting on? How they feel about you?

Neptune wow where is this coming from?!?!?!?

Jaune: how could you just turn her down like that?

Neptune: wait w-who?

Jaune: WEISS!!!

Neptune: I uh....it uh...... it just didn't work out you know?

Jaune what? You think you're too cool? Too many other options? Weiss Schnee asked you to the dance what in the world could have possibly kept you from go-

Neptune: I Can't Dance.

Jaune: I beg your pardon?

Neptune: I can't dance man

Jaune: but you're.......so......cool

Neptune: thank you I try really really hard

Jaune: you would rather break a girl's heart and go to a dance alone then just admit to everyone that you can't move in Rhythm to music?

Neptune: that about sums it up yeah.

Jaune: well I certainly feel a lot better by myself

Neptune please don't tell anyone look if you want Weiss she's all yours I don't want to get in your way.

Jaune sighs again and looks Neptune in the eyes.

Jaune: do you like her?

Neptune yeah I mean I don't know her too well yet but she seems pretty cool.

Jaune: then just go talk to her no pick up lines no Suave moves just be yourself I've heard that's the way to go

Neptune: yeah but that isn't-

Jaune: hey you don't have to look cool all the time in all honesty if you could be a little less cool I would really appreciate it

Neptune: yeah okay

Jaune: go talk to her I guarantee it'll make her night

Neptune: thanks you're a really cool guy Jaune

Jaune: all right don't lie to my face

Jaune and Neptune fist bump in agreement and Neptune leaves Jaune alone with his thoughts Jaune sighs in understanding what he must do a few minutes later Jaune returns wearing a white dress Jaune starts to dance with Pyrrha and Neptune goes over to Weiss and begins to start talking to her.

HK97/Hektor stealthily sneaks up behind one of Penny's personal guards and chop them in the back of the neck us to knock him out as soon as the other Garden artist is he once again chops the other guard in the back of the neck to knock him out instantly
HK97/Hektor holds his hand out and bows to Penny.

HK97/Hektor: Penny may I please have this dance.

Penny with stars in our eyes quickly grabs HK97/Hektor's hand in a death grip but thanks to him being a Droid he doesn't feel it the two of them quickly make their way to the dance floor and begin to look each other in the eyes and dance the night away.

Xo-zeion: oh to be young again and in love

Xo-zeion looks over at Mercury to see him with his finger in his ear talking to himself he uses the force to enhance his hearing to hear him talking to someone over a communication device in his ear.

Mercury: you should be back by midnight to be safe

Xo-zeion listen closely and hears Cinder respond.

Cinder: I'll keep my eye on the clock

Xo-zeion continues to dance with Ruby as to distract her from Cinder.

Cinder currently wearing full black and with a black mask makes her way to the communications Tower and precedes to knock out a guard and dragged his body into a bush as to keep the guard out of sight Cinder makes her way inside of the communications Tower and proceeds to knock out 4 more guards once the guards were knocked out she enters the elevator to see two more guards she steps inside and knocks them out Cinder pushes the button on the elevator and makes her way to the top of the tower once the door opens she steps inside the room and sees nobody there.

Cinder: this is too easy

(Y/n): well that sounds like no fun here let me make an impossible then.

(Y/n) steps out from his hiding place wearing his Sith acolyte mask and wearing the same leather clothing he wore before when he first fought Cinder (Y/n) unclips his lightsaber from his belt and ignites it once again brandishing it's sapphire blue blade.

Cinder: oh it's you again you know I've been hoping to see you again so that I can pay you back for what you did back at the warehouse.

(Y/n): you can try but I was hoping that I could go for round 2.

Cinder: how did you know I'd be here?

(Y/n): let's just say the force grants many abilities and reaching into your mind was an easy one so being able to predict your next move was like batting an eyelash to me.

Cinder: fascinating

Cinder brandishes her weapons and points them at (Y/n).

(Y/n): ginger learn anything last time those little Toys are nothing more then cheap toothpicks compared to my weapon.

Cinder becomes enraged and charges at (Y/n) with wild abandon Cinder wildly slashes at (Y/n) but (Y/n) uses the force to speed up his body so that he made Dodge her wild attacks once Cinder started to become tired
(Y/n) readied his lightsaber and began to attacker using form II lightsaber combat Cinder try to block his attacks but his lightsaber when clean through her blades Cinder began to generate more blades using her maiden powers but every time she created a new sword (Y/n)'s lightsaber just cut through it again this cycle repeated again and again and again and again until Cinder had completely drained her power leaving her virtually defenseless Cinder tried to attack (Y/n) one more time with her Broken Blade but (Y/n) used his lightsaber to completely Destroyer blade and with exact precision he managed to give Cinder a small cut with his lightsaber Cinder started to scream in horrible pain and agony feeling the lightsabers cold blade passing through her flesh Cinder holds her arm in pain.

Cinder: SON OF A BITCH THAT HURT LIKE HELL SHIT OUM DAMN IT THAT HURTS SO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cinder fell to her knees and looked (Y/n) in the eyes.

Cinder: J-J-J-Just kill me already

Cinder tilts her head down presenting the back of her neck as a sign that she yields and she is ready to die (Y/n) silently stares at Cinder after a few moments of Silence of Cinder expecting her death Cinder realizes that she's not dead so she looks back up at (Y/n) who just looks at her.

Cinder: well what are you waiting for kill me.

(Y/n): no

(Y/n) starts to walk away from Cinder and looks out the window

Cinder: what no what?

(Y/n): you will not die by my hands this day I will give you one chance to retreat you're too much fun can mess with the kill the moment you become a real threat maybe I'll kill you but for now you're nothing more than a common housefly to me and I've been swatting flies for thousands of years.

Cinder becomes even more enraged by hearing these words.

Cinder: am I just some sort of joke to you?

(Y/n): oh no jokes are funny you are nothing more than just slight entertainment I fought thousands of people like you you think you're three steps ahead of everyone when in reality I am a 10 steps ahead of you you think you are slick but in reality you're as rough sandpaper.

Cinder it comes so enraged by hearing this she creates one more blade and tries to kill (Y/n) while his back is turned but (Y/n) just sighs and grabs her with the force (Y/n) repeatedly slams or against multiple walls and consoles eventually knocking her out.

(Y/n): as I said you're not even a joke to me you're nothing more than a fly to be swatted at.

(Y/n) with cinder in tow goes into the elevator and leaves the building (Y/n) then takes Cinder Back to her room and places her on her bed once there (Y/n) sits across from Cinder waiting for her to wake up

(Time Skip two and 2 1/2 hours later)

Cinder suddenly wakes up and sits bolt up in her bed looking around seeing that she is no longer in the communications Tower but in her room she looks to her arm and sees that her wound has been treated and wrapped up see looks around and suddenly sees (Y/n) sitting on on the floor in a meditative position with his eyes closed Cinder thinks this is the perfect opportunity to strike him down so she creates a new blade using her maiden Powers before she can strike him down Cinder's blade comes flying out of her hands and get stuck into the wall behind her.

(Y/n): did you really think I'd let you kill me while I'm meditating now that's just low even for you.

Cinder cautiously backs up at
(Y/n)'s words and quickly regains her composure.

Cinder: well you can't blame a girl for trying.

(Y/n): well I guess your right there want to hear something funny?

Cinder said nothing but did nod her head an approval.

(Y/n): most lightsabers don't generate heat until they cut something but the lightsaber I used against you it's not like any other lightsaber it has a special crystal inside of it most Jedi utilize for it's calming power and it's loyalty to the light side it's called Pontite when placed inside of a lightsaber it has the ability did generate a blade that's so cold it burns so in theory any wound inflicted by My lightsaber will hurt more then a normal lightsaber wound..................just a fun fact.

Cinder: fascinating here's a question for you? why did you help me? And why did you treat my wounds if I'm your enemy?

(Y/n): truly you are not my enemy you're just a woman who has lost her way and who is being used as a tool to elevate someone else to help them achieve their goals I've seen this happen millions of times this isn't something new or special the only thing different here is the environment and the source of your powers I know how this is going to end eventually you'll either be consumed by your loyalty to your master and you'll end up betraying everyone you love and care about even your closest allies or your master will get what she wants and she'll throw you away as if you were nothing and before you ask how do I know you were Master is a she let's just say I've already met her in a dream I believe her name is Salem yes I believe I am right I could sense her Darkness coming off of you a mile away no this Cinder fall you have a choice you can leave all of this behind and lead a life of the peace and prosperity or you can continue to do Salem's Dirty Work the choice is yours if it's power you seek if you join me we can help you gain all the power you could ever desire and more.

(Y/n) made his way to the window and opened it using the force (Y/n) climbed onto the windowsill and prepared to jump down until he looked back at Cinder with kind and caring eyes.

(Y/n): please think about what I said because if you continue to do what you do I will have no choice but to end your life and personally I've already murdered enough people and I'd rather not have your name on my body count.

With that said (Y/n) jumped from the windowsill and before he could hit the ground he caught himself with the force and landed with the role Cinder look down her window to see (Y/n) running at extremely fast speeds far into the Emerald Forest soon enough the trees a cloaked his Escape until Cinder could no longer see him Cinder brought her head back in through the window and closed the window she began to Pace the floor thinking about what he said but after a few minutes of thinking she shook her head and steals her resolve knowing that Salem could give Cinder everything she ever wanted and more she refused to allow this mysterious masked man to change her mind but what she did not know was in doing this she had already sealed her fate.

(Time skip a few hours later)

The dance is over and almost everyone has gone back to the dorms everyone except (Y/n) and his team who are currently in ozpin's office discussing (Y/n)'s vision of the future and the events of what has happened tonight in Greater detail.

(Y/n): and finally the last part of my vision showed and finally the last part of my vision showed Beacon being invaded by a massive force of Grimm and soon enough Beacon Falls.

Ozpin sat quietly behind his desk with his head in his hands and general Ironwood stroking his chin to think contemplating what he had just heard after a few moments of Silence General Ironwood steals his resolve and looks directly at (Y/n) with a fiery passion in his eyes.

Ironwood: we cannot allow this to happen we must arrest them immediately!!!

(Y/n): no General we cannot act too hastily if we arrested them now you'll never know the true reason as to why Salem wants Beacon to fall so bad.

Both Ozpin and General Ironwood were surprised to hear (Y/n) new about Salem's existence but both of them kept their composer and remained calm.

Ozpin: well if you ask me that's obvious Salem hates me and she sees Beacon as a symbol of Hope For if Beacon Falls Humanity's hope will begin to wane and Beacon is one of the many academies that trains Warriors to fight against her Legions of Grimm speaking of which how do you know of Salem?

(Y/n): I meant Salem in a dream she tried to convince me to go back to the dark side but I refused so now she sees me as an enemy as well but that's not if you're nor there I have a few things to say tonight when Cinder tried to hack into the system she tried to gain control over the tournament roster so that she could control who fought who and when they fought but I managed to stop her before she could even get near a terminal I also had HK97 check the entire system 4 times and make sure that it was clean.

HK97: and clean it is no traces of any type of virus or any malware has been found or detected.

Ozpin: thank you HK97 we appreciate your help

HK97: you are most certainly welcome.

Ironwood: hey could any of you explain why Penny's guards were knocked out earlier this evening?

HK97 just stood there playing a cheery tune trying to act as casual and innocent as possible.

Ozpin: we'll come back to that later James but for now we must focus on what's important go on (Y/n) continue on what you were saying.

(Y/n): I still have 1 more thing to say first off I'm going to be training Pyrrha Nikos in the Arts of lightsaber combat it's going to take place two 2-3 weeks from now and I want you to know it's going to be taking place in the Emerald Forest.

Ozpin: forgive me if I sound like I don't trust your judgment or Ms. Nikos capabilities and potential but why do you want to train her?

(Y/n): because a few days ago I created a lightsaber with a crystal how is the inside there that's so picky that it literally drives me to tears but it can be used by anyone except for the one at the Crystal themes pure of heart the crystal is known as a Solari crystal these crystals can only be used by someone who is pure of heart and a few days ago I had her ignite the lightsaber and she was deemed pure apart so I remodeled the lightsaber to fit her style of battle and now since she has a lightsaber she needs to know how to use it and before anyone says anything like how am I qualified to teach someone do not forget that I am over 10,000 years old and I have trained generations of Warriors both of the light and dark side in the past.

Xo-zeion: he's right being part of him means that every single one of the people we trained in the past in away means that he trained to them because technically we're all one in the same for example I was a Jedi master for many years I trained a total of 5 padawans three of them went on to become Jedi Masters themselves and two of them became very powerful Jedi Knights.

Darth Celleus: and I've trained hundreds of Sith acolytes, inquisitors, Warriors, assassins, and apprentices in all of my years of existence and if I may say almost every single one of them could kill at least a few dozen Jedi in just a few minutes.

Ozpin: well I'm convinced you have my permission to train Pyrrha Nikos in the Arts of lightsaber combat as long as it does not interfere with her primary studies.

(Y/n): that sounds easy enough and if that's all we need to talk about I wish you all a very good night.

But before (Y/n) could make his way to the elevator Ozpin suddenly rose up from his desk and grabbed (Y/n)'s shoulder as to try to gain his attention.

Ozpin: before you go I have something I must show you.

Ozpin lead (Y/n)'s team and Ironwood into the elevator and he pushed the button for the basement after a few minutes of waiting the elevator stopped and opened its doors to reveal a long corridor and Ozpin begin to tell the story of the maidens and how many Legends on his Planet had actually come from actual events after a few minutes of walking and talking the group made it to a device that held a sleeping human girl Ozpin told (Y/n) and his team about who she is and what happened to her.

(Y/n): so let me get this straight her name is Amber and she is known as the fall Maiden and she had very powerful but now since she's had her powers taken from her she's dying and now you need someone to take her powers and you want either me or Pyrrha to be the new embodiment of the new fall Maiden?

Ozpin: yes that's basically the gist of it.

Ironwood: I know this is a lot to take in but there are risks for example it could transform you or Ms. Nikos into something that you are not.

(Y/n) closed his eyes and reached out with the force once you reached inside of her he could feel her life beginning to slowly wane and fade away but he felt a familiar power the same power that Cinder fall was using against him and he managed to connect the dots and realized that Cinder fall was the woman who had taken Amber's power that's when (Y/n) had gotten an idea a horribly wonderful idea both Ozpin and Ironwood had seen the Sinister look on (Y/n)'s face and both of them were a tad bit nervous about seeing the Sinister grin on (Y/n)'s face.

Ozpin: uh Mr. (L/n) are you ok?

Ironwood: I don't like the look on your face Mr. (L/n).

(Y/n): oh don't worry I have this look on my face because I have just gotten most brilliant idea what if someone were to return Amber's power and heal her body?

Both Ozpin and Ironwood we're both awestruck at the Idea that
(Y/n) could restore Amber's power and heal her body.

Ozpin: Mr. (L/n) are you saying you can do that?

(Y/n): oh yes easily but I warn you it will require the use of a very dark side power all I need is the help of a old lightsaber I obtained from an ancient dark lord as for healing Amber's body that is a simple lightside power that I can do with with less effort then flicking my wrist and the last thing I need to do this is to find the person who took Amber's power but good news is I already know who she is she is here in Beacon right now and I'll give you a a guess as to who she is.

Ozpin: Cinder Fall

(Y/n): correct but before I can perform the ritual we must wait for Amber to regain some strength and we must wait for cinder to recover from our battle for if I were to do it now both of them would most assuredly be either permanently damaged or would die in the process.

Ozpin: but you can do it right?

(Y/n): easily I just need some time I shall perform the ritual sometime during the tournament you just need to be patient and wait I'm also going to need help from General Ironwood here.

Ironwood start at attention and saluted.

Ironwood: anything you need is at your disposal just ask and you shall receive.

(Y/n): good now before we all go our separate ways since you shared a secret with me I'll share a secret with you now to put it bluntly I have sensed that all humans and Faunus of this world have an incredibly powerful connection to the force but it is locked away just like how Aura can only be unlocked the Force to can be unlocked but it must be done through a proper and full-fledged force-user like myself and when this is all over I plan on unlocking a few worthy peoples Force sensitivity and teaching them in the ways of both the light and the dark all I need are ones willing to feel the force because once you begin your path to controlling the force there is no turning back and there is no undoing it yes you can block yourself off from the force but you will still forever hear The Whispers And the power of the force.

Ozpin: that sounds okay to me you as long as you keep your disciples under control I can understand and I can offer my help in any way you need but I do want you to use someone from Beacon someone you truly trust.

Ironwood: any resources you need to help you are at your disposal but I wish for you to use someone from my Academy as well.

(Y/n): these are acceptable parameters and I will meet them I will choose someone from each of your Academies and if you can get the other academies on board as well I can use someone from their academies as well I wish you all a very good night.

With that said all of them separated and went there Separate Ways Ozpin going back to his office Ironwood going back to his ship and (Y/n) and his team going back to their dorm once they arrived at their Darth Celleus and Xo-zeion refused back with (Y/n) and HK97 closed down for the evening and recycled to recharge mode as he had done every night but (Y/n) had going into his closet and look through some of the many of crates he had brought with them from the remains of the chimera after a few minutes of looking he had finally found what he was looking for a small box with many different markings on it the Box itself had no Keyhole but was locked (Y/n) just use the force and unlock the Box the Box opened up and revealed something that was lost for many millennia.................A mask, A lightsaber and a sith holocron.

(Y/n): there you are I never thought I'd see you ever again.

(Y/n) picked up the lightsaber and ignited it revealing its Crimson blade.

(Y/n) looked at the mask.

(Y/n): hello Darth Nihilus.

(A/n): (WORD COUNT 4634)

(A/n): hello again readers I hope you enjoyed in this chapter if you liked this chapter please leave a comment down below and tell me what you thought I hope you are all having a happy Friday and I wish you all a very merry Day and weekend
