(Y/n)'s POV.
Right now (Y/n) is training his three apprentices Neo, Pyrrha, and Winter in the Arts of the force.
(Y/n): now my apprentices some of you may know what this is others may not (Y/n) brings out a very unique holocron.
Winter: what that curious little device?
(Y/n): this my Apprentice is a holocron holocrons have the ability to store the cognitive awareness of the maker and store near infinite amounts of data within them what is special about this holocron it's not just its GateKeeper but it's place in the force this holocron is truly a rare for this holocron is neither Jedi nor Sith this holocron was made find me..............
Pyrrha: you made that?
(Y/n): yes my Apprentice I have created my own holocron this holocron however was made right here on remnant quite recently if I do say so myself
Neo: wow.
Winter: not to interrupt Master but how does one make a holocron?
(Y/n): that is a very good question my Apprentice but to explain it to you now we're basically be like trying to explain quantum physics to a bird for UC to make a holocron first one must gather very rare materials and crystals and then through the force make constant and microscopic adjustments to the holocron creating an into woven Network circuit boards and crystals that can store the infinite amounts of data then the Capstone must be forged through this it would put together and stabilize the entire network so that the fine final details can be made plus you must inscribe the sacred symbols of power on to it but the sacred symbols themselves must be special to the maker and cannot be replicated from one holocron to another.
All three of his apprentices just sit there completely confused as to what their Master had just told them.
(Y/n): basically only a force-user can make a holocron and it's very difficult one wrong move and the whole thing will implode turning it into nothing more than a pile of glittery dust.
Winter: very interesting how long did it take you to make this holocron.
(Y/n): it took me months to created getting the materials was the easy part because I already had them but creating it itself is the difficult part now I believe that is enough of that subject let us take a look within the holocron.
(Y/n) joins his apprentices in their meditative poses and sits in front of them placing the holocron in front of them he begins to draw upon the force both light and dark and soon enough the holocron begins to lift up into the air and open once the holocron has been opened a Violet hologram of (Y/n) appears from the center how's the holocron's core.
(Y/n) holocron: greetings I am (Y/n) (L/n) I am the other I am the man who walks in the brightest the Shadows the man who walks a Razor's Edge between light and dark I am the one who flows freely in the force and the force is all things and I am the force.
(Y/n): you see my apprentices this gatekeeper is a piece of me in a way if it is possible that I can die and you all still need more training you will have all of my knowledge at your disposal and all the other holocrons I have stored within my dorm this holocron contains every last ounce of information I have ever gained in my life Sith or Jedi all of it is in here.
(Y/n) holocron: originally I was born on the Sith world of korriban but eventually my mind was overtaken by my dark nature and formed the Sith Lord that is now known as Darth Celleus and for many Millennia I have walked the Galaxy as a Sith Lord until eventually the Light Side have begun to pull on the very threads of my mind and eventually my light side was given form with the name Xo-zeion and now I live upon a world named remnant this world is infested with creatures called Grimm these creatures are drawn to negative emotions and are considered very dangerous for the local populace but for me they are nothing more than cannon fodder recently I've been compiling a theory stating that these Grim could be creations of the dark side and so far all of my tests have proven that my theory could be more than just a theory.
(Y/n): go on my apprentices ask the holocron a question and it shall answer to the best of its abilities.
Neo: what can the force really do?
(Y/n) holocron: the force can allow the blind to see the deaf to hear the lame to walk the force can literally allow you to reach into Suns and throw their cores as if they were nothing more then a toy ball the force in theory can do almost anything but never forget the force is itself a living thing and if the force is displeased it can strike back at the one who displeased it.
Neo: wow that's really cool I wonder if I could do that one day?
(Y/n): I wouldn't recommend the supernova trick trust me it's way more trouble than it's worth.
Pyrrha: why are the Sith so evil when they have a chance to do what's right with their powers and follow their passions?
(Y/n) holocron: Pacific believe morality compassion love and all other forms of mortal control are chains and just as in the code of the Sith my chains are broken the force shall free me they do not wish to have anything that ties them down unless it is necessary they believe that self control is what's holding them back and if they allow themselves to be completely free to from all forms of chains including the ones of morality they can truly be free to do as they please and become as powerful as they want the Sith are creatures of avarice, fear, and hatred.
Pyrrha: thank you.
Winter just sat there silently thinking about a question to ask the holocron when Sun lead the question she's been asking for the last day occurred to her what does the Jedi and Sith codes really mean.
Winter: what is the true meaning of the Sith and Jedi codes?
Everyone sat there in silence soon enough the holocron began to answer Winter's question.
(Y/n) holocron: the Sith code believes that peace is a lie that part is pretty self-explanatory that there is only passion they believe that passion will fuel their strength and through their physical strength they will gain power and through the power in the force they will gain victory over not just their enemies but themselves and the chains that bind them to weakness, Foley, and failure and they believe once power has been achieved they will be freed from all the things that hold them back and they believe that all of this is capable through the force the Jedi code is the opposite though it is both a moral compass and an example of how to live what to do and what not to do unlike the Sith the Jedi are actually selfless beings though recently they have become consumed by their hubris believing that the Sith have been eradicated in the first passage of the Jedi Code they believe that there is no emotion that there is peace but yet I believe that emotion can control people and through their emotions can the ultimate Evil truly be born for many Jedi have fallen to the dark side because of their emotions and their inability to let go of their emotions the second passage of the Jedi Code states that there is no ignorance there is knowledge the Jedi believe that ignorance is a failure in itself and to be ignorant is not Bliss but it is a curse and that knowledge can be a more dangerous weapon than his lightsaber could the Third passage of the Jedi Code States there is no passion there is serenity the Jedi believe that passion is chaotic and that it is unstable and that if you let go of your passions you can seek and find serenity the fourth passage of the Jedi Code States there is no chaos there is harmony the Jedi believe the Jedi believe that chaos and War are undesirable and that piece and harmony are desirable traits that these traits can better people and that they can create a better tomorrow the fifth and final passage of the Jedi Code States There Is No Death there is the force one of the core beliefs of Jedi philosophy is that when you die you do not truly cease to be you just transcend your body and become one with the force in that sense no one truly dies and we should not mourn for their loss.
Winter just sits there and silence contemplating the knowledge she had just gained from the holocron.
(Y/n): moving on as I've said many times before the force can grant many powers and abilities for example creating electric storms from your hands repairing what is damaged shrinking your presence in the force so that you can alter things on the molecular level reaching into other people and pulling out their worst nightmares these are all powers of the force these powers can both create and destroy the Jedi and Sith firmly believe in light and dark good and evil black and white but I say different the universe is not firmly cemented in Good and Evil the universe is gray an example of this is simple lightsaber colors for example Winter's blade is blue Darth Celleus's blade is red, what do blue and red make?
Neo: purple?
(Y/n) correct they make purple some Force users are known to wield purple lightsabers normally The Color Purple indicates one standing in the force between light and dark for example the force wielder Revan wielded both a red lightsaber and a purple lightsaber cementing his place in the force he was between the light and the dark he flowed freely between the two places almost like I do but I have taken it a step further as you know one of my blades is black while the other is white this signifies that I have been both pure good and pure evil in my time but the lightsabers themselves are not the only part of the metaphor my body is the final key for I am the bridge between Good and Evil it is supposed to represent that I am the force because of my understanding of it not because I have the blood of 3 celestials running through my veins it's because I understand how the force truly works it's neither good nor evil it's gray it all depends on the people who use it the force is both a tool and a weapon it all depends on the wielder, their beliefs, and their intentions do you all understand what I am talking about?
Pyrrha, Neo, and Winter nods their heads in confirmation.
(Y/n): good good I believe that is enough research for today I believe it's time for something more practical.
(Y/n) send out a small Force wave towards the holocron signaling it to deactivate and close the holocron complies with its orders the hologram disappearing and the holocrons pieces flying back towards its core the holocron then closes up and land Softly on the ground completely deactivated
(Y/n) uses the force to call the holocron back to him (Y/n) places the holocron in one of the pockets of his robes (Y/n) unclips his lightsabers from his belt and ignites them.
(Y/n): who's first?
Neo steps forward and removes her lightsaber from her umbrella she ignites her lightsaber and points it at her master (Y/n) and Neo Circle each other with their lightsabers brandished (Y/n) rushes towards Neo with his lightsabers Held High Neo blocks her master's attack with her Lightsaber and uses her umbrella has gun to send her master flying backwards (Y/n) quickly regains his footing and smiles at his Young Apprentice.
(Y/n): good good but not good enough.
(Y/n) attempted to force push Neo but she did not move an inch Neo smiled at this knowing that she had finally gained the upper hand against her master.
(Y/n): hm good job Neo you remembered the force Shield but I can only help you so much.
(Y/n) gathered the force beneath him I jumped into the air holding his lightsabers high above his head once again once he got close enough he brought his lightsabers down upon his Apprentice but Neo parried his attack ending up slicing him with a deep gash in his stomach.
(Y/n): excellent Neo you are progressing well in your training but don't forget.
(Y/n)'s burning lightsaber gash suddenly began to close itself up and heal itself.
(Y/n): I still hold all the cards
Neo: oh right
Neo quickly regained her composure and begins to twirl her lightsaber performing complicated maneuvers with her lightsaber Neo begins to show off her expertise in the Arts of form IV lightsaber combat Neo lunges at her master performing quick and precise strikes with her lightsaber calling on the force to speed up her reaction time so that she can sidestep and Perry her master's attacks Neo's Blade clashed with (Y/n)'s own the two of them remained in a lightsaber lock for what seems like forever neither gaining the upper hand on the other until (Y/n) rotated his lightsabers upside down giving his arms enough torque to push me away before Neo could react (Y/n) kicked Neo in the gut disorienting The Apprentice long enough for her master the game the true upper hand and (Y/n) reversed his grip on his lightsabers making the blades face backwards he then jumped backwards almost impaling Neo through the stomach showing that he was Victorious and that he could have killed her if he wanted to.
(Y/n): I win
Neo: whoa you could've kill me there.
(Y/n): I could have but I didn't I was trying to teach you the lesson that even though you're getting better you're still nowhere near my level yet...................but you did good today you passed today's test you managed to hit me and if I were someone else you could have killed me
Neo bowed to her master.
Neo: yes master thank you master
(Y/n): alright who's next?
Pyrrha stands up and transforms her lightsaber into its lightsaber Pike mode and then ignites it's blade Pyrrha got into her stance and charged at her master swinging her Pike as to try and cut her master in half but he only parried and sidestepped her attacks Pyrrha transformed her lightsaber into its standard Hilt mode began to use all of her expertise in form II lightsaber combat against her master while (Y/n) decided to combat his apprentice's form II with form V Pyrrha attacked with quick and Powerful slashing and stabbing attacks while her master used powerful and wild strikes Pyrrha jump backwards and transformed her weapon into its rifle mode Pyrrha fired four shots at her master (Y/n) managed to deflect 3 of the plasma bolts away from him using his lightsaber but the fourth hit him Square in the chest both knocking the wind out of him and leaving a large scorching hole in his chest.
(Y/n): damn that hurts but nothing I ain't haven't experienced before.
(Y/n)'s wound instantly healed itself as if the attack had never happened and (Y/n)'s face contorted into a Sinister grin (Y/n) began to spin his lightsabers in both of his hands as if they were propellers and began to start walking towards his Young Apprentice Pyrrha began to start rapidly firing her weapon but all of her shots were easily deflected by the spinning lightsabers Pyrrha transformed her weapon back into it Pike mode and began to start stabbing at her master from a distance soon enough the two of them engaged in a lightsaber lock both master and Apprentice staring at each other in the eyes one trying to use raw strength to conquer the other until (Y/n) got the upper hand and kicked Pyrrha in the stomach knocking the wind out of her and forcing her to drop her lightsaber which once it left its wielders grip transformed back into its standard Hilt mode and extinguished its blade Pyrrha fell to her knees and clutched her stomach in pain (Y/n) brought his lightsabers down in a scissor position threatening to cut off his apprentice's head.
(Y/n): I went again my Young Apprentice but don't look so down I'll still pass you for this one because if I were any normal being that shot in the chest would have instantly killed me but don't forget I still hold all the cards here and they're all full houses.
Prryha: Yes master that was also pretty fun thanks for the great fight.
(Y/n): you're welcome my young student now there's time for one more match.
Pyrrha went back to her spot and sat down still slightly clutching her stomach in pain.
(Y/n): Winter would you like a match with me?
Winter: yes master
Winter Rose from her spot and Drew her primary lightsaber activating it's Sapphire blade Winter got into her Battle Stance holding her lightsaber in front of her as if she were a noble Knight Winter lunged at her master trying to combine forms II and V striking him with both wild and hard abandoned while at the same time trying to use Swift and calculated attacks while not using too much foot movement as to not drain her stamina (Y/n) instantly recognizing this technique immediately went on the defensive using his lightsabers to block his apprentice's attacks
(Y/n) left backwards has to put some distance between him and his Apprentice (Y/n) begin to contemplate how he would counter his apprentices new technique when out of nowhere it came to him.
(Y/n): tell me Winter why do you fight?
Winter became confused at the question.
Winter: you already know I fight for my Kingdom I fight for freedom I fight for my family.
(Y/n): and what would you do if someone took those all away from you?
Winter: I don't understand what you mean?
(Y/n): I mean what if someone completely destroyed your kingdom conquered the world through tyranny and killed your family what would you do? Would you use your powers to destroy them? kill them even?
Winter: yes I would destroy them without hesitation.
(Y/n)'s face contorted into one of a Sinister grin.
(Y/n): well then I could expect nothing less from you my Apprentice no tell me what if it was I who did all that would you still have the guts to destroy me.
Winter I was shocked at hearing this but quickly steel herself her face now wearing an expressionless and emotionless face.
Winter: I care about you master but I am a soldier and if I must I will.
(Y/n): well then pretend that the situation is as such and I want you to attempt to destroy me go on kill me.
Both Pyrrha and Neo became nervous at hearing their Master talk like that but (Y/n) saw this and turn towards his two apprentices he winked at them to show that this was all just a farce and not to worry the two instantly calm down and proceeded to silently watch as Winter's rage build to a crescendo.
Winter's eyes suddenly turned into an glowing acidic yellow Winter ignited her second lightsaber and charge that her master with complete and utter wild abandon sacrificing calculated in quick strikes for powerful and wild slam of her lightsaber Winter reversed the grip on her lightsaber Shoto as to hold it backwards as if she were holding a knife Winter continuously swing at her master for what felt like hours but was mere seconds Winter and (Y/n) eventually ended up in a powerful lightsaber lock the two of them trying to conquer the other with just brute strength alone Winter sending the force through her muscles to rejuvenate herself and replenish her stamina while (Y/n) was using a small trickle of the force to do the same as to not overwhelm and kill his Apprentice soon enough Winter pulled her lightsaber Shoto out from the lock and stabbed her master in the shoulder with her lightsaber Shoto.
(Y/n): AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH SON OF BITCH!!!
Winter pulled her lightsaber Shoto out from her Masters shoulder and Force pushed him away Winter still drawing on the dark side of the force fueled by her rage and passion summoned her time dilation glyph to speed up her attacks winter with blinding speeds charged at her master quickly slashing at him leaving giant burning dashes cutting off both of his arms and legs even going as far as the cut off his head.
A couple seconds past and Winter's eyes returns back to their normal pale blue complexion and she had realized what she had done both Pyrrha and Neo quickly got up from their spots and ran over to the pieces of their master.
Neo: WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?
Neo picked up (Y/n)'s severed head and held it as if it were her first born child Neo began to weep for the fate of her master.
Pyrrha: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!?!?!?
Winter: I-I-I-I-I-I d-don't know w-w-what happened to me
Winter looked at her hands and clutched them into Fists Winter dropped to her knees and started crying while Pyrrha just looked down in complete and utter Despair and sorrow until suddenly the three apprentices started to hear a small laughter coming from Neo.
???: hahahahahahaHAHAHAHA!!!
Neo turned around but her lips weren't moving and she wasn't laughing everyone look down at the head in Neo's hands and saw that it was their masters severed head that was laughing like a lunatic everyone quickly lunch backwards in horror Neo even dropping the head of her master.
(Y/n): OW it's a head not a bowling ball!!! Winter ran to her master and picked up his head wearing a happy smiling grin on her face happy that she did not kill her master by accident.
Winter: I-I-I-I-I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND H-H-HOW?!?!?!?!?
(Y/n): well long story short I'm Immortal I thought you all remembered I guess In the Heat of passion you forgot now before I continue the lesson could someone please give me a hand.
(Y/n)'s left hand then jumped up from its resting position and waved to his apprentices everyone laughed at the joke.
(Time skip 5 minutes later)
(Y/n) was now completely reassembled and his body was completely functioning properly Winter, Neo, and Pyrrha we're sitting in their spots in front of him.
(Y/n): now that that ugliness is all out of the way let's get back to the lesson shall we.
Winter: wait a minute you said all of that was part of the lesson how could me killing you and chopping you into bits be part of lesson?
Winter ask angrily rising from her spot poking her master's chest.
(Y/n): simple that fiery passionate Russia power that you felt was the dark side and I want to show you its power and what it could do you lost yourself and you could have killed me I wanted to show you the consequences of what could happen if you fell to the dark side which many others have.
Winter looked down again in guilt and understanding.
Winter: so that was the dark side and that's what it could do?
(Y/n): that and so much more but don't get me wrong the dark side isn't evil it just depends on one's motives, their behaviors, and all that jazz the dark side could do great things good things and the light side can do horrible things terrible things as well so just because it's dark doesn't make it Evil And just because it's light doesn't make it good do you understand?
Neo, Pyrrha, and Winter: Yes master.
(Y/n): good that's all for today you may all go do as you please I'm going back to my dorm everyone went their separate directions except Neo and (Y/n) Neo grabbed a hold of (Y/n)'s arm as if she let go she would lose him forever.
(Y/n): are you okay Neo?
Neo didn't answer she just blushed and nodded her head.
(Y/n): are you sure?
Neo: yeah I'm fine
(Y/n): alright............do you want to come with me?
Neo nodded again in confirmation.
The two of them made their way back to (Y/n)'s dorm
Neo mind: what is this feeling why is it so warm is this the force or is this what they call.....................love?
Once the two of them arrived Neo started to hear a small voice calling her Neo made her way towards some of the crates in
(Y/n)'s room she kept wandering around looking for the voice until eventually she opened one of the crates and the voice stopped she looked around the crate to see hundreds of crystals all kept within small plexiglass containers she looks through all the containers until she found the one that was calling to her all of the others appeared to her as if they were dull and lifeless but this one was glowing and full of life.
Neo opens the small container and took out the crystal she could hear many voices coming from it and she felt as if it were made for her she held it close to her heart and felt it pulsing with energy as if it were a small pulse of life (Y/n) looked at his Apprentice with pride in his eyes knowing that she will become a powerful force user and maybe even a greater lightsaber duelist.
(Y/n): Bnar's sacrifice.
Neo: what?
Neo snapped out of her small trans and looked at her master with confusion in her eyes.
(Y/n): that Crystal it's called Bnar's sacrifice I created that Crystal many years ago Legend has it that that Crystal is formed when one combines many many lightsaber crystals from the rare to the mundane and once that Crystal is bonded with someone it will only work for them ever never another other wielder can ever wield a lightsaber with that Crystal placed inside of it and that Crystal's place in the force is gray in nature and the blade it produces I think will be perfect for you.
Neo: so what are you saying?
(Y/n): I'm saying that it's time for you to make another lightsaber and it's time for you to learn my form of lightsaber combat.
(A/n): (WORD COUNT 4848)
(A/n): hello fellow readers I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you liked it please leave a comment telling me what you thought and as always I wish you all a very merry day.
