(Old) Avatar the Last Airbender - Jedi Outcast (Remastered)

Chapter 24 - Siege of The North

The humming of two lightsaber blades were the only sounds produced along the roof of an apartment complex. The rhythmic plasma etching through the wintery air as Benjamin and Jet sparred. Apprentice and master, both enamored and entwined within the force as they tried to get the upper hand on the other.

Rather, Jet was the one trying to get the upper hand. With a sweat filled brow, Jet, the once freedom fighter turned Jedi apprentice was now on the defensive. Sifting and dodging, as the apprentice tried to hold himself against his masters blows.

For the last couple of days. Both Benjamin and Jet had been entranced within their Jedi training, once again hoping to create a powerful warrior of the force. Jet was a quick study. His reflexes were above average, and he held a strong connection to the force.

"Hey, Benjamin..." Jet spoke. Raising his blade to jab at Ben, as the boy in question pivoted on his feet. Tossing his purple beam upwards as Jet's blade compacted and he nearly spun out of control. "...teach me how to use my shatter points."

Benjamin's eyes widened at those words. He had nearly forgotten about Jet's innate gift to see shatter points, those instances in which the unbreakable becomes breakable.

"I'm sorry, Jet. But isn't that something you know how to do..."

Jet stared at him perplexed. Eyes drawn towards his master as his hand went to his chest. "Ben, I don't know how to do that. Heck, that time I cut down that armored warrior was pure luck alone. I saw it, I definitely felt it but it's something that I had no real control over."

Benjamin grimaced in response. Shatter points were a unique force ability that popped up through the legends and history of the Jedi order at times. Hell, before he found Jet, he didn't believe that shatter points even existed, that the ability was just something convoluted and lost to legends.

Yet, he had living proof that someone could see those cracks within the force. Ben didn't know how to properly awaken that feeling, maybe it was only something that Jet could learn through experience. Some techniques within the force can't be learned through training, they must be awakened through other means.

But right before Benjamin could say anything...it hit them both, like a wave. The only sound being heard was the buzzing of their contrasting lightsaber blades. That feeling, both of their thoughts being awakened as they felt it over the horizon.

Like a sea of darkness...a powerful shadow looming over the horizon. Benjamin glanced around with flurried eyes. Drawing on his memory as they slammed open. 'That place...' He thought. That place in which he made that choice to walk the path of the Jedi once again, the one in which he was awarded with that vision. Jet was that man...and the Southern Water tribe, would hold pillars of blood.

Benjamin and Jet both unignited their weapons. Clamping them to their belts as the force started to well up inside of them. Jet had learned how to fixate on specific parts of the body to imbue with the force. He was a practice hand at the ability, both men following this as they leaped into the air. Landing onto a higher rooftop as they were able to oversee everything...

A deep black cloud. It enamored all of them as it drew closer, Jet glancing into the sky as he held out his gloved hands. Feeling the soot along his fingertips as he drew upon the force once again. "Benjamin, you can feel it too, right?"

Ben stared from that balcony. As the wind rippled through his hair and robes, the clatter and pressure of his lightsaber flaying in the wind following as he smelt the deep coal like smell of soot, he knew from his experience with Bill in both the mines and the labor camp what it was.
