Just to warn you, this is a sort of intermission chapter that continues from the last but is more about reconnecting with the chat and getting us to the interesting bits... Either way it should be interesting, and I hope you enjoy!
New Power Stone Goal: 0/300 (For extra chapter)
---
A day had passed since we escaped the Jedi Temple and things were looking promising.
We had reached the spaceport without any problems and had bartered for an empty docking space using materials that I conjured through matter manipulation. Barriss and I were guided to said docking bay and left to our own devices.
From there I simply fed off of the power grid, using the abundant energy to forge a Fury-Class Interceptor from the blueprints I had memorised from the forbidden archives of the Jedi. My apprentice gaped at the sight of a ship being hastily constructed from every base molecule into structured lattices and forged materials.
Once completed I quickly urged her onboard and started uploading the operating systems and locks on every system, adding my own passwords and security checkpoints where needed. The Navigational system was filled with every single star system I could scrounge up from my mind before I did pre-flight checks and hastily created some Hypermatter for the hyperdrive. My last addition was a series of holographic projectors on the exterior of the ship that copied the Helicarrier's invisibility that Shield used... We could slip past most ships without any worry!
All in all, it took about ten minutes for us to have a ship ready to go, provisions to eat for a journey and all of the fuel we would need for an extended trip. The guns were armed and ready in case of emergency and I had sacrificed the cargo hold to create another bedroom for Barriss.
And that's how we were currently halfway through the Unknown Regions, traversing an ancient hyperspace route that was used by Revan to reach Rakata Prime, or Lehon for short. You see, i didn't just want anyone to stumble upon my Stargate and have an idea of using it or scavenging it... No, that wasn't a very 'cash money' concept to me. So I decided to use one of the forbidden coordinates inside the Jedi vaults to place my super powerful universal corridor. My plan also had the additional perk that I would have instant access to Rakatan technology and ruins, if the Stargates work as I predicted.
Harry Potter- So... Dumbledore may be a Dark Lord...
Drecarios Frost- So show him what a real one looks like?
Sirius Black- How the fuck did you come to that conclusion pup!?
Harry Potter- Found some of his magic inside my relatives minds. I also found out that his Fidelius charm on the house was siphoning away power from the wards
Tony Stark- I always hated Dumb-as-a-door, he always seemed manipulative to me!
Luke Skywalker- This man sounds dangerous
Jester Lavorre- cAn I KilL him??? CaN I!? ☠☠☠
Loki Odinson- If he is as dangerous as Sirius says he is you must be cautious
Harry Potter- Don't worry Loki, I've already stripped him of his control over my house. I also saved my relatives from his clutches and have organised a trip to Gringotts to ensure I gain my titles...
Sirius Black- Your house~? 🤨🤨
Harry Potter- Oh, shut up! I am your heir, yes...?
Sirius Black- 🤣🤣 Too easy to tease! Oh an btw, I'm on the front step waiting for someone to let me in
Tony Stark- ...
Loki Odinson- ...
Drecarios Frost- ...
Jester Lavorre- Oooo this is fun, i'll join in tooo!
Jester Lavorre- ...
Harry Potter- No wonder you got the title Darth Canis! You're like a dog who escaped the yard!
Sirius Black- Oi! No need to hurt a man's feelings!
Harry Potter- 🙄🙄🙄
Shiroe of Log Horizon- So how are things going for you Drecarios?
Drecarios Frost- Great! Got myself a hot apprentice. Created a Stargate that can traverse universes so we don't need to rely upon the chat room to meet each other; in the case it fails or something... I also copied all of the information from the Jedi Archives on Coruscant, including the restricted archives and sections... Beyond that? Well, I suppose I could mention the fact that I now have access to magic and the force and used it to literally decimate a transport-ship that was intent on crashing into the Jedi Temple...
Loki Odinson- ...
Jester Lavorre- ... huh? Anyone know what all this MeAnS? 😑😑
Shiroe of Log Horizon- ...
Tony Stark- Only you could do all of that within the small break you've taken from the chat
Drecarios Frost- Meh, that's barely mentioning the fact that I've started surveying the moon, Saturn and Mars for future prospects... I'm thinking of just making a nation or something on the moon or Mars and just grabbing the smartest people to be citizens... Idk, I'm still working on it!
Tony Stark- YOU ARE DEFINITELY WORKING WITH ME ON THIS!!!! I want in...!!!! I'M SERIOUS!
Sirius Black- No, I am.
Harry Potter- 😒 Not funny mutt
Sirius Black- It was hilarious! Tell him Elsa!
Drecarios Frost- 2/10 for effort Sirius, needs more lead up and surprise factor
Sirius Black- 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Shiroe of Log Horizon- Did the chat just sensor him???
Harry Potter- heh, serves him right for using such a shit joke
Drecarios Frost- No, he just used the emojis... Probably wanted to express his distaste without expletives or something 😅
M. Sam Carter- DID YOU JUST SAY UNIVERSAL STARGATES!?!?!!?!?!
Drecarios Frost- Um, yes?
M. Sam Carter- HOW? howhowhowhowhowhowhowhowhowhowhow?
Drecarios Frost- About 2 hours worth of research and a few scientific papers on higher dimensional physics from a duo of scientists from the Galactic Republic...? Wasn't that hard really. Oh, and 24 hours to observe if my math and work was safe and correctly done.
M. Sam Carter- 'wasn't that hard really', what- how am I supposed to respond to that!?
Tony Stark- Interesting, Higher Dimensional physics could be useful... Do you think it has uses for my suits or any of my tech?
Drecarios Frost- Well the process I used requires my unique abilities for the most part but could be achieved with the correct tools and materials on hand... As for their use, well, yeah! You could have your nano-tech prototypes communicate with one another no matter the distance or create wireless energy systems by simply funnelling a large current into a slab of bonded metal and have it pop out the other side into a machine or whatever
Tony Stark- I'll need your help once you get back... Speaking of, what are you doing now?
M. Sam Carter- Holy shit, what you just described breaks physics in several hundred different ways that I can barely compute! I need you to explain it to me and share this with me!
Drecarios Frost- Going to Rakatan Prime to set up the first prototype stargates... Hoping it works first try and I set up a base of operations there. The Rakatan had a lot of tech that was honestly terrifying in application
Luke Skywalker- Are you still a Sith?
Drecarios Frost- *sigh* Yes Luke... Doesn't mean I am evil. Thought you'd realise that since your dad was a Sith and ended up doing the right thing...
Tony Stark- Oooof, bringing out the 'dad' card, that's tough buddy 🥶🥶🥶
Luke Skywalker- Mara is going to kick your ass, you know that?
Drecarios Frost- Not if I am constantly on the run! 🤔
Luke Skywalker- 🥱🥱Welp, don't say I didn't warn you!
I chuckled at Luke's warning before looking up from the chat towards the transparisteel window in front of the command module of the ship. Rakatan Prime was spinning softly in the mid-stance, it's bright blue exterior glimmering in the black backdrop that was space.
Hundreds of wreckages hung in high orbit and low orbit alike, their rusting carcasses frozen over and pockmarked with holes. Asteroid-like debris buzzed against the exterior of the Fury's deflector shields as we screamed through space as fast as we could. Near the star of the solar system I could see a massive looming structure that was barely illuminated and hanging dead in space. The Star Forge.
The forge itself had been decimated from multiple conflicts and the damage Revan managed to inflict upon it in his last mission during the Jedi Civil War. It's presence in the force was supposedly muted in comparison to its former state and had for all intents and purposed been scrapped by the Republic as soon as possible, under fear that a new Sith Empire would rise to use the capabilities of the super weapon once more.
To me, the Star Forge was awesome but slightly redundant since I could spam out ships, droids and matter like nobodies business without consuming the entirety of a Star's energy to do so. I wasn't as interested in it as I was the potential horde of information upon the planet's surface. Knowledge was of more use to me than the Star Forge... And hell, if I had the right knowledge I could make myself one, with blackjack and hookers!
We rapidly sped through high orbit, the astro droid I had created being more than enough to dodge several large fragments of past battleships. There were some weak force presences within some of these ships but they felt more akin to Holocrons than any living being, their presence inside the living force an echo in comparison.
"Master... Why have we come here?" Barriss stepped up beside me at the helm, her formal Jedi robes having been switched out for a comfortable red shirt and a pair of knee-high shorts that were a mix between cardigan and silk, the material made me recoil in discomfort the first time I had felt it... It just felt like an unholy combination...
"This is Rakatan Prime, or Lehon for short. This was the home world of the Rakata and the capital of the Infinite Empire... Many Jedi and Sith have died on this world and above it in hopes of using the super weapon of the Rakata for themselves or in hopes of destroying its threat to the galaxy... We are here to drop off a gateway so that me and my associates may come back to this universe whenever we wish."
She looked away after listening, joining me in watching our descent as we punctured high atmosphere and plunged deeper into the planet's clutches.
The planet was decidedly Oceanic with vast stretches of the world being nothing but ocean. There were islands and archipelagos however, that dotted the equator and sometimes stabbed up into the northern and southern hemispheres. We were currently set to land on one of the central islands in a massive archipelago that had hundreds of oddly shaped pyramids and ziggurats that were overgrown and eroded.
In the past the world was protected from foreign intrusion due to the remnants of the Rakatan religious order... That time was long gone now... After Darth Bane stepped onto the world the last embers of the nearly extinct species was eradicated and all of their devices had been obliterated. Bane never succeeded in gathering any more knowledge from the Rakata but he certainly got his frustrations out at the very least.
"When will my training start?" I glanced at her before focusing on our landing zone, which was a small glen that sat just outside the perimeter of the largest pyramid.
"As soon as I have confirmed the portal works, I will begin your lessons. But before then I want you to memorise this code..." I paused to build up necessary drama, "Peace is a lie, there is only truth! Through truth, I understand my passion...Through understanding, I gain clarity! Through clarity, I gain power...Through power, I shape my chains! Through will, I choose to break them...! "
She repeated the True Sith code under her breath for the rest of our short sojourn to the surface. I stood as she mulled over the meaning of the words and quickly checked the atmospheric quality outside the Fury.
The planet was in a semi-breathable state from what the sensors were reading. There was a higher presence of helium and carbon dioxide than most oxygen-atmospheres but that can be compensated with by using breathing filters; which I formed with my matter creation straight away.
"Here, wear this, we need them to be fully capable whilst on the planet." I said as I walked over to her, holding out one of the respirators.
She didn't hesitate to take her mask, placing it over her face with determination. It seemed she was the type of student to thrive off of information given. The more I teach her the more dedicated to my teachings she becomes... An excellent quality for the type of training I'm going to be giving her...
'Sith sorceress sounds like a very good direction for her.' I placed the respirator over my nose and mouth as I smiled. Training her would be a good test run for introducing force sensitivity to Marvel in the future... Which was another back-burner plan that I had considered committing to.
"Lead the way..." She said in a modulated tone.
"Oui Mademoiselle!" I responded cheekily, despite her non-existent grasp of French.
I hit a button at the side of the command deck and felt the atmosphere equalise with the exterior atmosphere, a small puff of air whipping my hair back and forth before it stabilized.
"Welcome to Rakatan Prime, apprentice." I said as we stepped down the ramp.
