To Be An Imperial

Chapter 1

22 BBY

Zor snached a loaf of bread from a market. He is not in luck the Owner saw the whole thing and was chasing after him. This wasn't Zors first time stealing, his 17 year old self had been doing this since he was 9 years old. Zor was a dark skined, buff, fast kid, and had a normal height for his age. "Hey kid you have to pay for that!" Zor smirked and keeps runing. He could tell that the owner was geting tired and Zor was barely running at all. The store owner stoped to catch his breath seeing that Zor climed to the apartment he lived in without anyone seeing. He exhaled and sat on his couch. He celebrated this win after all he had been caught before a few times and was beat up for it.

    He ripped a peice off and ate it, then he put the rest in a bag for the rest of the week. "HA HA im not gonna starve this week!" He said happily. Zor had been going to the academy for an unknown faction that would rise up. There were rumers that the Chancellor Of Courasont was secretly funding it. Zor felt the need to join it when he did and he has been going there ever since.

    One of the things he liked about it is how he got to learn. Learning was one of the things that low-lifes like him never got. Him wanting to learn is what made him a promising student. Not only did they have education they had food. Something else people like him never had either. With them providing him with breakfast and lunch all he needed was dinner and he would be straight. This was the best day of his life being straight for the week. Zor got a blanket and slept on the couch for the night.

    When he woke up he was supposed to have woken up to his datapad's alarm clock. It was specifically set to 7 o'clock, but this time it didn't work. He was late because he got up an hour later. He got up took a shower and darted to the class. This class was one of the classes he really liked, it was for strategic training. They asked questions on what you would do if you knew you might die. Or were would you deploy your troops to survive. What was awesome about the simulation in his opinion was that you could see step by step if it would work or not.

   Strategizing was always his specialty. His mind was quicker than others which made him a valuable asset to their cause. Zor was running as fast as he could, the academy doors were about to close the doors, once those doors were closed they wouldn't open until it was the end of the session. Zor was running faster than normal and jumped right through the crack of the door. He caught his breath and started to his class reassured. He opened the door and went to his station. There was someone in a dark robe with his face covered. He had kind of a big chin and his presence made Zor feel uneasy. He stared at the figures robes and they looked pitched black. They looked like a type of fabric that was unknown to Zor. The only thing that Zor could see was his evil smile his large chin and his old looking hands.

    Zor sat down near his friends and he could tell everyone had the same feeling that he had. It was very dark because most of the lights were out. The Dark Figure looked like he was going to say something about Zor being a little late but he didn't. Then he said, "I have heard that there are some promising students here." He said with a little scratchy voice but it was a little soft. "I have come to see them myself." Everyone had a confused face wondering who was this, why is he here, and who does he think he is. The Dark Figure seem to know wjat everyone was thinking and then he stated, "I am Sidious and that is all you can call me. I am the one who leads this faction and if you tell anyone and I mean anyone you will die!" That scared everyone in the class room but one seemed to be even more scared. His name was Formsn Emar. He had one hand on the table and one under the table like he was hiding something. He was failing almost all his classes and everyone knew he would probably be cut from the Faction. But this time he seemed a little off. Sidious turned his head to Formsn and said, "If anyone doesn't follow my orders they will die." After he a said that he shot something out of his hands. They had the color of blue and purple and they looked like lighting. Then Formsn droped to the floor dead revealing whag he was hiding. He was recording everything. Not only did he kill him he killed his device.

   That got everyone scared and they were nervous they might be next. One of the girls there was crying. Sidious then said, "The week will be weeded out and the strong shall prosper." Then he shot lightning out of his hands again at the girl crying then she stoped and droped dead. Everyone's eyes started to stare at him with absolute fear. "We will put you through tests to see if you are worthly of joining us. Oh and if you fail you die." After saying that he broke into a sinister laugh as he walked through the door.

   "That is today's session come back tomorrow ready!" A recording said. His friend Waler was a dark skin human male he was small for his age but its not like anyone cared but everyone noticed it though. He said, "He is the leader?! How does anyone live to see him again?!" Zor said, "I don't know man its so weird he's that brutal, but one thing I like about him is that he probably isn't a Jedi, you see I've heard Jedi's don't have that much power they use and they rarely kill anyone but this Sidious character is the exact opposite!" Waler is shocked that he even likes him a little bit. His other friend who is very quiet named Neishia, was a light skinned girl with a beautiful face, stated, "He scared me like a lot!" It was weird because she rarely said anything. They were on their way to to get their lunch when Sidious came to them. Waler and Neishia's eyes widened and were afraid of him but Zor wasn't scared, he had his regular expression and said, "Sir?" Sidious said, "I have come to see you Zor." Zor said, "Its ok guys save me a seat all right." Waler noded and so did Neishi, then they left. "Yes Sir?" Zor asked. Sidious said, "You are at the top of you class, you have the smartest military mind here, and and you are not scared easily. You are the definition of what I need for this Faction." Zor then said, "Well sir I am just a low-life theif needing knowledge." "And that is why you would be a great asset to out cause no one would think you ever as na leader. This is also why I want you to make a plan on the Fall Of The Republic."

   "Sir?!" Zor almost yelled. Sidious smiles and asked, "What are you not up to the challenge?" "No sir, it is just they have been out for years and with the clone wars and everything." Sidious cuts him off and says, "You see i want you to make the clones to help with that. You also no longer need to come here. I know I know that you have nothing to eat if you don't so I will relocate you to the planet Hoth to think about how you will do this the dead line is today 3 years from now, the earlier the better." Zor responds, "Yes Sir, when do I leave." He responds, "Now" Zor gets an escort by some stormtroopers he had never seen before onto a ship. Zor took a nap on the way to hoth he knew it might be the last nap he takes fo a while.
