《The Path of a Sith》The Sith Temple part 5

"....I don't know"Kanan answered turning to the Twi'lek next to him "Are you sure that nothing else happened on our last mission?"Hera asked
"I'm sure.....but...it's like....he doesn't know us" The older man answered her. There was clear insecurity in his voice. "Im sure everything is alright...we will ask him about it after the mission ?"Hera asked trying to comfort Kanan. The man nodded.
IN EZRA'S AND ZEB'S CABIN...
"What's wrong with you kid ?" Zeb asked while sitting on his bunk and holding his weapon. He was surprisingly concerned about the younger boy. "Nothing is wrong with me...."Ezra answered, again getting annoyed at his whole situation. He just wanted to blast himself out but there was something stopping him...telling him to stay.
"Yeah right and I'm a Jedi"Zeb said sarcastically but that clearly angered Ezra even more as he rised his voice "Look, I'm fine nothing IS WRONG!". Zeb winced at the boy's reaction. Ezra never lashed out just because Zeb was being sarcastic. So he started genuinely saying "Okay,okay I'm just askin cause' everyone else is worried about ya"Zeb said. Again for some reason Ezra got even more angry. He didnt understand why would someone be worried ? Why for him ? He thought he didnt deserve it. "Why would they be worried ?"Ezra asked barely managing to contain a yell.
"Are you serious kid ?, You've been acting strange ever since we returned from our last mission...It almost like you dont even know who we are " Zeb said. "Oh come on, Of course I know you guys, I'm not crazy"Ezra answered. Zeb rised an eyebrow, not buying the smaller boy's act. Ezra noticed it so he stayed silent to avoid further communication. He was about to pick up the lightsaber Maul gave him but..it wasnt there "Huh...what ?" Ezra said confused. He hadnt been paying attention, he was too focused on these people around him the entire them so he didnt even notice that the lightsaber was missing.

"What is it?"Zeb asked looking at the boy "Where is my lightsaber !?"Ezra asked, suspicious that someone on the ship took it. Zeb suddenly gave him the most confused looked and just muttered "Kid...its on the tabel". Zeb pointed at the table and there was an indeed some kind of weapon on it.
"That's not mine"Ezra said questionably and crossed his arms. "Are you serious right now?"Zeb asked, actually not believing that the kid just literally said that the lightsaber HE himseld built wasnt his. Ezra got mad again, being irritated "Um YEAH, That is not my lightsaber".
"Something is deffinetly wrong with you"Zeb said as he got up and left the cabin, leaving Ezra alone. He came closer to the table and picked up the mysterious weapon Zeb called "His".
"What is this?, This is not what a lightsaber should look like.."Ezra said and accidently pressed the button to activate the lightsaber. A blue blade appeared "A Blue blade?...Only Jedi use...." Ezra was interrupted by a com-link on his belt. There was a familiar voice coming from it.
"Ezra, Come out of the Ghost. The mission will start soon"Hera said over the com-link."I'll be right there..."Ezra said over the com-link. "How exactly do you get out...?" Ezra thought. It took him 5 minutes to find the exit.
IN FRONT OF THE GHOST...
"Ezra finally!" Sabine said spotting him coming out of the Ghost. "I'm here...."Ezra answered.
"Okay as Hera said we have Imperial shuttle so we will go in and start the mission,eveyone understand?"Kanan asked turning to the crew. He was wearing a stormtrooper uniform and holding the helmet under his arm. He turned to Ezra but the boy was still in his regular clothes. An Orange jumpsuit. "Why aren't you wearing your cadet uniform?"Kanan asked Ezra strictly "oh yeah...."Ezra s answered. Kanan put his hand over his forehead and sighed "Please go change into your cadet unifrom, the mission is about to start"

Ezra quickly nodded and headed back into the Ghost.
WITH EZRA IN HIS AND ZEB'S CABIN...
"Um...where is ''my''cadet unifrom?" Ezra started looking around. "I know how it looks like I can probably locate it.." The boy thought as he put his hand up picturing the cadet unifrom in his mind. Soon Ezra felt something similar underneath the bunk, in a type of shelf. Ezra smiled as he opened it and found the cadet uniform.
WITH THE CREW...
Kanan suddenly winced when he felt that unusual force usage was...coming from Ezra. It wasnt the same calm type that the Jedi use. This one was agressive and violent. Sabine noticed Kanan's distressed face "Kanan what's wrong?". But Kanan was unable to answer, not knowing what to think anymore.
WITH EZRA...
"This looks really bad on me.."Ezra said while looking at himself in the cadet uniform as he sighed and started heading to the ramp of the Ghost. This time it was truely a lot easier.
IN FRONT OF THE GHOST...
Ezra was heading down the Ramp as Kanan turned to him trying to act as confident as he can. He didnt know what happened but Kanan really thought that maybe Ezra needed some reassurance right now "Thank the force you finally came. Come on,let's finnish this mission"Kanan said with his friendly smile. Ezra couldnt help himself, he froze at that gentle smile the man gave him. He hasnt seen someone smiling at him like that....since his..father."W-Why.....do..do these people actually care about me?"Ezra thought.
The crew(Ezra,Kanan,Sabine,Zeb and chopper) said their goodbyes and went inside the shuttle that was right next to the Ghost. They went in as Kanan sat on the pilot seat with Ezra next to him as everyone else was behind them. Sabine and Zeb had their hands tied and chopper was painted black and red to fit in with the other droids. The shuttle rose in the air and flew away. Soon they were in space, entering hyperspace. Kanan set the coordinates to the chosen Star Destroyer. After a few minutes of being in hyperspace, Kanan turned to Ezra glancing at him with concern"Hey um Ezra". Ezra turned to him "yeah?".
"..Are you okay?..You've been acting differently since our last mission...and I just wanted to say that it's not your fault that you used the dark side then.... but that doesn't mean that I hate you or the crew. We love you Ezra and we deeply care about you"Kanan said in a gentle voice. Trying his best to comfort Ezra through whatever he was going through. Ezra was completely taken a back at the man's words.
"They ...CARE....THEY CARE???....H-How..I don't even know them..I only know their names and maybe a bit about their personalities.....but... what is this feeling?..It's like my parents are here with me...like I have a family......"Ezra thought
Kanan was still looking at him and Ezra quickly noticed that he hasnt answered the older man.
"T-Thanks..Kanan" Ezra said a bit shy but with a smile. Kanan smiled at him as well. Again that gentle smile. After around 15 minutes the shuttle came out of Hyperspace and in front of the shuttle was a Star Destroyer...

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Mobius
Far in the future, humans have thoroughly colonized space through the use of floating colonies and artificially replicating the Earth whenever possible. Most of these endeavors have gone well, with humanity spreading across the universe like the seeds of plants floating in the wind. Yet still there lurks the great mistake, the endless station of Mobius, a megastructure which hasn't ceased its building in over a century. Dante, a man living in this megastructure, is tasked with the recording of stories told by criminals, particularly those who travel between strata. One day, a prisoner is captured claiming to be Captain Pluto, an infamous criminal thought to be fictitious by most scholars. Even more curious, he claims to hail all the way from Stratum 56, a location so far away from Dante's Stratum 999 that it would take lifetimes to traverse such a distance. Dante must discern whether or not the story is false or true, and the longer he lets Captain Pluto speak, the more difficult his task becomes. *****Average chapter length will be 10k words give or take. This isn't a very serious story for me. I'm writing this to blow off steam. Updates will happen infrequently because of this, and it will most likely be unpolished unless I begin to take it more seriously.
