Power Stone Goal: (243/300)
Hope you enjoy the chapter, and may the Force be with you!
---
All three of us stepped outside the tomb with an utterly changed perspective and set of powers, the ebbing tide of red caressing our skin and flowing into us. I couldn't help but smile at the relaxing sensation.
"So how do we get off this rock and back to our original universe?" Sirius questioned nonchalantly whilst flicking sand from his shoulders with an errant flicking motion.
Harry looked over in the direction that we had seen a ship land. "I think we should focus on getting off this planet Padfoot... We can worry about getting back after we explore a little, surely."
"Sure, as long as we're doing something. Hell, I may even be able to find some alien babes!" I rolled at the old dog's antics, taking off towards the ship.
The walk was quite calming now, funnily enough. Our connection to the Force was so pure that the dark-side taint on the planet was like a trickling creek in ferocity. Each of us had accepted the darkness inside us and embraced it, hugging it close to our souls as if it was a child. In a way it was a child, us as children... Our purity, our rage, our unadulterated emotion. Unlike the Sith before us we were not shackled to our lust for power. We are the same as we were before but also more. I could wield my evil side to great effect, as well as my good side.
We were half way towards the ancient Sith Academy when my internal contemplation was interrupted. Hundreds of K'lor'slugs were swirling around us, watching us, waiting to see what we would do. Sirius had stopped first, his eyes languidly tracking the worm-like creatures as he held his wand upwards.
"Let me deal with them." His confident words broke the eerie silence as he raised his wand upwards.
"Oi, I want to test my powers on some as well!" Harry yelled out his right hand extending out towards the nearest worm, electricity crackling between his fingers in neon-blue hue. I chuckled at his outburst as I pulled upon my lightning control and the deep anger I had at my past Fiancé.
Unlike Harry's force lightning mine was an ominous gold-red that snaked up and down my hand like a gauntlet of power. I turned my hand and quietly observed the phenomena before snapping out with that same hand and grabbing a worm, that had hoped to sneak up on me, by the throat.
A coiling heat sparked from my outstretched arm as the rancid smell of burning maggots poured out form the creature's form. New holes were being dug into it as my fingers clasped tighter, the screeching cries of pain bringing a mild satisfaction to me.
"Just fucking kill them." I commanded.
Sirius grinned malevolently whilst Harry raised his other hand and started calling upon his magic. What followed was a slaughter.
Harry had imbued his force lightning with the blood boiling curse and found that it made each worm pop like balloons. The sand was immediately splattered with yellow-purple blood that seared into the sand and created fragmented shards of glass. One by one the worms in front of him snap, crackled and popped, his indifferent expression being the only sign that he was in control of what he was doing.
Canis used his wand, summoning forth a whip of fire that immediately sizzled into a bright blue. He then proceeded to slash it forwards and around him, cutting the worms in half whilst leaving a lingering flame that ate at their flesh and consumed their internal organs. The scent of burning flesh drowned the area and made the remaining worms recoil in fear... Not that they had much of a chance to flee as I unleashed my red-gold lightning and instantly atomised them.
And then there was only one, a single worm left to flee, the smallest of the pack that had just tried to turn us into a snack... We let it go, it's little legs scuttling over the red sand. I could feel the instinctual terror that was consuming it as it went and it gave me satisfaction... An odd sensation seeing as how it was external, coming from the dark-side itself. Shaking off the feeling and ignoring the owner of it I allowed the lightning in my hand to dissipate.
"That felt good." I stated as Harry nodded, his force lightning merging into his hand and fading away. He looked a little distant as he looked out over the hundred or so dead worms and I couldn't blame him considering the jubilation that the dark-side was feeling at our slaughter.
"Heh, I like these 'force' powers! They're almost exactly like magic but much more responsive." Sirius happily explained as he looked over his wand, likely inspecting it for damage; which there was none.
"Perhaps we should get to that ship before the owner decides to leave the planet?" My words snapped both of them out of their trance.
"Yeah, sure." Sirius sheathed his wand.
"Probably a good call..." Harry shook himself and started walking forwards again.

Meanwhile, Ciri...
"Curses!" She yelled out as she landed in a large trash heap, her world churning and spinning as something foreign reached out and tried to interact with her magic.
Acid collected in her throat and her chest as her diaphragm threatened to spill the contents of her stomach into her mouth. Fortunately she was very experienced at ensuring this particular response would never happen, her various explorations at taverns and watering-holes finally giving her some advantage other than just work.
"De-tak Uthfar-tyh-uk?" Blinking away the flecks of light in her eyes she noticed an entity clicking and clacking at her in something that vaguely resembled language but failed to use verbs or punctuation.
"I'm sorry, what?" Her eyes were slowly adapting to the twin light sources above, her vision allowing her to see the distinct alien lifeform that was looking at her with annoyance, she guessed.
"Uf-ber-kuk-toouk!" The language was so foreign that she simply ignored it, her limbs now responding to her calls.
"Look, I don't understand what the fuck you are saying but if you don't shut the fuck up I'll cut your head off." Whatever was speaking to her went silent. Apparently it could understand a threat despite the language barrier.
Taking a minute to steady herself Ciri rose from the trash pile and started surveying the space around her.
Sand and sandstone buildings surrounded her as twin suns stung her eyes and caused her skin significant discomfort. The heat was perilous and the intense, scathing, movement of the sand below her booted feet was extremely discomforting.
"Where the fuck have I landed?"
A small bell sound made her look at the chat room screen.
Luke Skywalker- Tattooine... That's where you are Ciri. You're about a week's hyperspace travel from the world that Drecarios is on. By the time you get there he'll already be off world, knowing our friend.
Ciri- Then what the fuck am I supposed to do!?
Luke Skywalker- You could attempt to jump from Tattooine to the world he is on, but I wouldn't suggest it... Korriban is dense with the dark-side of the force and would most likely reject your presence.
Ciri- Is that why I am on another planet entirely???
Luke Skywalker- Most likely.
She facepalmed as the flying alien creature before her started snapping at her in the weird clicky-clacky language again.
"It's always me that this shit has to happen to... isn't it...?"
Luke Skywalker- You could always come to my universe and we can coordinate a jump for you in the near future once he's off planet?
Ciri- Yeah, fuck it, that's probably the best chance we've got
Jester Lavorre- BASED! 🗿🗿🗿
Tony Stark- I'm so proud 😌

We had finally reached the entrance to the old Sith Academy, the ship sat starkly in the midst orange sand, it's delightfully clean hull standing stark against the ancient and dust-caked ruins before it. From the information I had consumed from the R-2 units this ship was a G9 Rigger freighter. It had two 'wings' so to speak, one that folded beneath it and one off to the side that house a multi-blaster that could at most damage fighters.
It was a small ship but would fit all three of us.
"Woah, I thought a space ship would be more... You know... Intense." I chuckled at Harry's antics whilst stepping around the matte grey ship.
The ramp was still down and in the distance I could see a two figures walking up the extensive stairways of the academy. Sirius suddenly grinned and walked towards the ramp of the ship, his wand gripped in his palm casually. "Come on. If they're stupid enough to leave the ramp down then they deserve to be stuck here." I couldn't fault the man's logic.
Walking in behind the old dog I expanded my consciousness throughout the ship with a combination of my matter sense and the force. There was no living being on the ship and the rooms of the ship were bare, completely bereft of luxuries. If I were to make assumptions I would have pinned the owners of the ship as Jedi... Not that Jedi wear black robes or visit Dark-side infested worlds.
Harry broke off from us and went exploring whilst Sirius and I reached the cockpit. It was a plain control centre with almost no modifications or adjustments. The room itself was a stark gun-metal grey that barely reflected the lights of the control switches. Besides the panels themselves there was but a singular Protocol droid standing off to the side deactivated.
"These blokes really need to learn interior design..." Sirius barked out with a huff before guffawing at his own joke.
I ignored the dog's antics and simply sat at the controls. The R-2 unit I had copied my flight abilities from had been particularly experience in this type of shuttle, a fortunate thing for us. My hand grazed over the consoles before finding a passcode lockout imbedded in the navigation cortex of the ship.
"Apollo, if you could?" My watch beeped as a sharp blade of circuitry shot out into the console. Sirius swore loudly as it happened, his eyes watching the display of technology with utter fascination.
A minute later the code was completely overridden and my own put in its place. With ease I took control of the ship and raised the ramp. "Where are we wanting to go? I could take us towards Coruscant; the capital of the Republic and the Jedi..." The blast door behind us zoomed open with a smooth sliding motion.
"I want to see these Jedi. They seem like good people to at least meet." I sighed at Harry's request and plotted the course, the ship rising up from the dusty sand below and roaring into the sky.
"You do know we're Sith, right?" The teenager snorted at my question before settling in the only other chair in the room.
"Meh, they can get over it. I'm done with letting people walk over me and saying what I do is evil or wrong, only for them to be proven wrong later down the road." Blinking in confusion, as I tried to comprehend how those two things were connected, I set the navigation system to start plotting the Hyperspace jump into the Corellian Run space lane.
"How do those two things correlate?" The old dog waved a wand and conjured a seat for himself, collapsing into it a moment later.
"Well, if they can't get over the fact that we're sith then they aren't particularly 'good' are they?" I withheld a deep belly laugh at the kid's logic, my mind detecting the millions of disjointed atoms that floated in orbit of Korriban and thus providing an apt distraction.
"Hah! Can't fault that logic, I suppose." Sirius commented as he settled into his armchair properly.
"So we're going to coruscant, to go meet the Jedi, in hopes of finding a way back for you guys...?" Both of them nodded at the plan whilst I just sighed. I knew Luke would not be happy with me going Sith and everything... Let alone these random ass Jedi who didn't know me at all and hated the Sith on principle.
'I guess we'll just have to wing it...'
For the first time since I appeared in this universe I opened the chat menu, the hyperdrive humming deeply before our ship distorted and then returned to its normal dimensions. The sparkling light of hyperspace whipping past.
M. Sam Carter- So have we found Drecarios yet?
Momo Yaoyorozu- No. Ciri-san was supposed to find him but there was something wrong with the planet he was on or something?
Loki Odinson- Intriguing... I wonder if he is unconscious or trapped there?
Luke Skywalker- No, he is moving now. I can sense that he is past the influence of Korriban... Though his presence in the force is, darker, now.
Jester Lavorre- Maybe he joined the 'dark-side' for their cookies??? 🤔🤔🤔
Tony Stark- I would adopt you if I could Jester
Jester Lavorre- That would mean you'd have to sleep with my MOM, though~! 😉
Tony Stark- ... I'm not going to say anything in case Elsa is listening in
M. Sam Carter- He hasn't responded before this... Why would you be scared of him being present now?
I laughed at the absurd intuition of Tony and the ironic question of Samantha. Harry and Sirius were talking about something regarding space-wizards and light swords. My attention kind of faded from their nattering as the chat resumed once more.
Loki Odinson- I applaud the caution but question the relevance of your chattering to the topic of Elsa becoming corrupted by this 'dark-side'?
Tony Stark- Hey, it's not my fault they have cookies!!!
Jester Lavorre- 🍪🍪🍪 They taste good too! 😈
Luke Skywalker- Why am I surrounded by people who wouldn't know the difference between a Nerf and a Bantha?
Momo Yaoyorozu- I wonder if he is listening in and merely enjoying the hubbub his departure has caused...
The chat went silent for a time, a smile crawling upwards as I transmitted my response mentally.
Drecarios Frost- Don't know what you mean...
There was a single moment of nothing happening before the entire chat went berserk.
Tony Stark- ELSA! What's happening bro!?
Jester Lavorre- DO THE COOKIES TASTE GOOD!?!?!?!?! 🍪🍪🍪
Loki Odinson- Finally you have returned.
Momo Yaoyorozu- Why are you like this?
M. Sam Carter- Hey Elsa, find anything interesting on that Korriban planet?
Luke Skywalker- Why does your presence reek of the Dark Side? 🤨
Shiroe of Log Horizon- Oh, you're back, that's good. I'm glad you're safe but I'm a bit busy with paperwork... I'll see you all later
Izuku Midoriya- Sup guys, sorry I haven't been on of late... What's going on?
Ciri- SON OF A BITCH! I tried to portal to you and ended up on a desert world!!! I request payment for time spent!
Aegon Targaryen- It is good to hear from you again friend
Drecarios Frost- Okay, okay, settle down...
There were a few angry responses before I spoke again.
Drecarios Frost- From the top...
Drecarios Frost- Not much Tony, just got initiated into the true teachings of Ajunta Pall, the original Dark Jedi that abhorred slavery and taught internal control of emotions, whilst also being able to use them
Drecarios Frost- The cookies are really delicious, you'd like them Jester.
Drecarios Frost- I have, Loki.
Drecarios Frost- Because I can be?
Drecarios Frost- Found hundreds of Sith Holocrons, some lightsabers, OH! And I found Harry Potter and Sirius Black here!
Drecarios Frost- Because I became a true Sith? I know, I know, they're 'evil'... Until they're not...
Drecarios Frost- See yah later Shiroe
Drecarios Frost- Not much going on Izuku, just some universal shenanigans that caused me to gain magic, force powers and a large amount of knowledge
Drecarios Frost- You did that yourself, I didn't ask you to.
Drecarios Frost- You too bro
Harry Potter- Hello, nice to meet you all
Sirius Black- Sup fuckers!
Drecarios Frost- 🤦♂️
