Battle of the force
Jaune made his way through the city of vale, carefully moving from alley to alley and keeping out of sight.
Ever since his little stunt with Roman and Adam, he'd gained a lot of attention. Attention that he didn't want at all.
More attention meant more sneaking around the city and wondering if anyone he came into contact with was gonna rat him out. It was stressful, but Jaune guessed it was just what he signed up for when he agreed to those three force ghosts inhabiting his body.
It had started with those three, luke, Palpatine and anakin. It was simpler then, everything was simpler then. But starting with maul, his transformations got violent, incredibly so in some casses.
He suddenly became very aware of just how insignificant he was in the grand scheme of things, and after performing Mauls ritual it was even clearer.
He was on a planet, which was someone completely disconnected from the rest of colonized space, where people had strange abilities and powers not related to the force.
With the adsorption of anakin and Luke he gained power raw power and the discipline to master it. Then with palpatine he gained a new sense of ambition, something he definitely didn't have before.
But starting with maul, he gained things he definitely would rather not have, traits that only made his feelings of futility grow
He gained a huge sense of paranoia and dread, a large amount of coldness he didn't previously have. But it more or less balanced out with the light side people he had obsorbbed
Jaune stopped at his intended target, a small warehouse near the edge of vale, where thanks to Roman he had found out Cinder and her cabal were staging a meeting
Apparently someone had been killing members of their little circle, who could be doing that?
Jaune dawned his new dark cloak and red mask, courtesy of his newest spirit friend
The mask was similar to Kylo rens, it covering his entire face. But besides that it was completely new, with an actual face like design with, even complete with a sort of nose.
Dawning the red and white mask, he carefully jumped through one of the broken windows of the abandoned warehouse, landing on the raptors. He glanced down at the center of the warehouse, taking note of the round table sitting in the center.
The empty warehouses doors were thrown open by a boy in all black and silver clothes, with similar silver hair. It was jaunes newest target, Mercury Black, son of the late Marcus black.
Mercury was followed in by 2 white fang members, Cleary high ranking due their choices of clothes. Mercury sat at the head of the table, with the two white fang members sitting on either side of him
Mercury: Let me get this straight Perry, your little cult-
He was cut off by the white fang member, now identified as perry
Perry: it's not a cult
Mercury scowled and ignored him
Mercury: are doubting our abilities?
Perry nodded
Perry: Is that hard to believe?
Mercury: Yes, very hard, especially since you know just how capable cinder is.
Perry: her capability couldn't save Adam nor torchwick. She promised us protection if we helped her fulfill her plans, yet our leader was killed!
Mercury gritted his teeth
Mercury: your leader was killed because of an unknown third party, which Cinder is currently investigating.
Jaune coughed slightly, seems he was getting noticed
Perry: that doesn't change the fact that our leader was murdered! The vale district of the white fang is in disarray! We can barely hold it together!
Mercury rolled his eyes
Mercury: you think I don't know that?
Perry pointed at mercury
Perry: and you! Why are we even meeting with you! We used to conduct-
Mercury cut him off
Mercury: key word used to. Roman torchwick is dead, I'm sure you've heard.
Perry: who hasn't? A Criminal kingpin was murdered in public park, did you think we wouldn't notice?
The two continued their bickering, as Jaune rolled his eyes at the scene. It was pathetic honestly, these were the great evil he had to face? They were equivalent to bickering children at this point.
Jaune jumped down from the raptors, using the force to project his voice through the warehouse
Jaune: Mercury black, your time has come.
But, instead of a reaction like getting out of his seat and fighting, the boy instead continued to bicker with the white fang leader, completely ignoring Jaunes presence.
Jaune: the hell?
Jaune stepped up and attempted to put his hand on Mercury's shoulder, only for his hand to go Completely through his shoulder. As the others at the table all faded away, leaving Jaune standing in an empty warehouse alone.
Jaune quickly took his newest lightsaber out, igniting it and spinning around the room. He was not alone, that much was certain. There was someone else here, someone strong enough to make a believable projection, one that Jaune as a force user couldn't detect.
Jaunes answer came in the form of the clinking of boots, as a man in a black cloak came out of the shadows.
???: like sheep to the pen-
The man stepped further out of the shadows, revealing harsh silver eyes from underneath the hood
Blaze: your ready for the slaughter
Jaunes eyes narrowed from underneath his mask, this was not ideal.
Jaune: Blaze.
Blaze chucked as he continued to pace around the room, seemingly not caring about the lightsaber currently pointed at him.
Blaze: I expected more from you, truly I did. Falling for a trap like this lowered my expectations of you significantly.
Jaune took a step towards Blaze
Jaune: cut the chat, we're here to fight aren't we?
Blaze turned to face Jaune
Blaze: and so we are
Jaune bolted from his position in the room, bringing his saber down on Blaze, only to hit thin air.
Blaze using force speed (yes this is real) had dodged jaunes strike easily and shoved Jaune to the ground.
Jaune jumped back up and grabbed another saber from his belt, igniting the blue blade and raising them both up. Blaze was still pacing back and forth, even through the hood Jaune could feel the smugness radiating from Blaze
Blaze: how about we have a old fashion battle of the force eh? No sabers, only us and our power over the force. Sounds good?
Jaune said nothing, keeping his blades raised
Blaze: well? Are you going to give me an answer?
Jaunes answer was him deactivating his sabers and placing them on his belt. He and Blaze began to pace back and forth by each other, each waiting for a the other to make the first move.
Jaune moved first, sending a huge force push at his opponent using both his hands.
Blaze raised his own hand, easily absorbing the force push. The only sign the push had even been sent was the slight fluttering of Blazes cloak.
Jaune was slightly annoyed, seems this was going to be harder then expected.
Blaze didn't wait for Jaune to make first, instead opting to force pull Jaune to the ground, then send him to the flying into the ceiling using another force push.
Jaune, completely unprepared for the attack, was sent into the ceiling and crashing back down. He jumped back up and sent a torrent of force lightning at Blaze, who paired it with his own.
The two beams of force lightning met each other in a magnificent spectacle of light and power. Neither being able overpower the other
Blaze: you don't deserve the power you have! I gained mine through decades of training! Mastering my skills through pain and hardship! You just leech of then skills of others! What gives you the right?
Jaune cut off his force lightning , rolling out of the way of blazes and hitting him with a force drain.
Blaze was hit square in the chest, feeling himself become slowly weaker, and being brought to his knees.
Jaune walked up to the downed Blaze, who's silver eyes were glaring back at him
Blaze: so you inherited Nihlius then?
Jaune nodded slightly
Blaze: I should have known, but don't think I'm going to just sit here and DIE!
Jaune was hit by a surprise attack of force lightning , sending him down to the ground in pain.
Blaze shakily stood, pouring all his power into the beams of force lightning.
Jaunes arm reached out, and began to drain Blaze of his life force
Blaze: I'm not gonna let up unless you kill me! So tell me Arc, who is going to die first!
The two were at an impass for a few moments, neither relenting their attack on the other.
That was until the force lightning stopped, and blaze fell to his knees. He began to grow paler and paler, as his life force was drained away.
Blaze: Kanto will end you
Jaune raised an eyebrow, amused
Jaune: oh really? Is that a threat?
The dying man said one final sentence before passing on
Blaze: no, a fact
