Temptations of the Dark Side

Chapter 5

DREAMSCAPE, THIRD PERSON'S POV

(Y/N) saw several flashes go through his mind, he knew he was asleep but he was having trouble making sense of the dream.

The Sith watched the images pass by and saw several that seemed to stand out to him.

the first was Korriban, Dromand Kaas, and other worlds under the rule of the Empire he saw them fall the insignia of the empire burned away leaving a blank slate, in it's place the Sith saw a strange world with a shattered moon which he suddenly recognised as Remnant, he was suddenly standing in Beacon surrounded by the girls of team RWBY and several shadowed figures.

Suddenly Beacon was overwhelmed by darkness, he saw them lying on the ground defeated and some severely wounded, Blake was clutching a bleeding wound in her stomach, and Yang was missing an arm.

(Y/N) then saw himself standing above them offering a hand to them, he saw the take his hand before he felt them open up and the darkness take root in their souls.

(Y/N) then saw his former master standing before him with his lightsaber ignited, (Y/N) Force Jumped towards him with his saber ready to strike, he deflected the blow and struck at the Sith forcing him back, suddenly (Y/N) felt a hand on his shoulder and saw the girls standing beside him.

"Let us help you... find us..." came a quiet voice.

"The old empire is broken..." came another voice.

Then a shadowed figure took shape before (Y/N), it was himself standing with a air of authority, radiating dark power.

"It's time for the rise of a new, more united Sith Empire... OUR EMPIRE!" the Shadow (Y/N) said before the dream began to fade away.

Beacon Academy, (Y/N)'s room, THIRD PERSON'S POV

(Y/N)'s eyes opened and he sat up in his bed, he placed his hand on his head and tried to recollect himself, he knew what he had just experienced was not just a dream... the force has granted him a vision of his destiny.

(Y/N) had always had disagreements about the Empire, the way it was run, the constant infighting amongst the Sith, and the constant backstabbing and the blatant racism amongst the higher ups.

Is this what the force intended when it threw him here?

Was he supposed to build a new Sith Empire here, on this strange world that had never heard of the Sith or the Jedi?

It was a very intriguing idea, the Sith could imagine himself as not a emperor but a more traditional role, as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he could create a new legend of the Sith here away from the gaze of the absent emperor, and an oppressive ruling caste of Sith like the Dark Council.

However he was shaken from his train of thought as he remembered where he was, (Y/N) was in the academy surrounded by many talented individuals, what he really needed though was to find allies and one's with force sensitivity.

"I would need to figure out how to find them if they are here..." (Y/N) said to himself.

"Speaking of which I'll also need to do some research on this world... there are many things I must discover, for instance this substance called Dust..." the Sith said as he was deep in thought.

"As well as why I feel echo's in the Force around those girls..." (Y/N) said, thinking back to when the girls each used their 'semblance's' and how he felt disturbances in the Force, especially around Ruby and Yang they seemed especially powerful.

"When I have the time I must look into this Aura and Semblances, as well as this Dust perhaps it will lead me to an answer to my destiny!" (Y/N) said trying to think of ways to experiment, and get the answers he needed.

"Well for now, I suppose I should make myself at home, after all this is my room for the next four years" the Sith said standing up and stretching his muscles, getting a satisfying crack from his back.

(Y/N) went over to the crates and opened them, he looked through his artefacts and relics, finding what he wanted to be kept close, one such artefact was a pure black crystal that the Sith had found in the tomb of Tulak Hoard, he could feel the power buried inside the crystal when the Sith held it his Force Powers were amplified greatly, and it strengthened his connection to the Dark Side.

(Y/N) moved the furniture in his room around with his Force Powers, set up his artefacts and moved his bed into place, he then filled his closet with several different Sith robes each with a hood, he also unpacked his books, datapads, stone tablets and carvings as well as several crystals, lightsabers of different types and different blueprints.

Finally the Sith looked around his room and he was pleased with how it looked, he then noticed the clothes on the desk as well as a strange looking datapad, the Sith walked over and picked it up looking over it he quickly figured out how to use it.

Looking over the class schedule (Y/N) saw that his first class would be starting in 30 minutes, he changed out of his old robes and into new (F/C) ones before pulling the hood up over his head, the Sith then left his room and walked towards his first class leaving the uniform on the desk.

(Y/N) walked through the halls towards the assigned classroom, he had a man called Port for his first class about Grimm.

"Hmmm, so far I've seen Beowolves, a Deathstalker and a Nevermore... I wonder if there are any I haven't seen yet?" the Sith asked himself as he made his way towards the classroom.

(Y/N) walked to the classroom and made it ten minutes early, he walked in and took a seat in the second row sitting close to the end.

(Y/N) looked at the board and saw several diagrams of different kinds of Grimm, he saw diagrams for a Beowolf, a Deathstalker, a Nevermore and an Ursa then the Sith saw what looked like a huge snake, it was labelled King Taijitsu and a large tusked pig called a Boarbatusk.

"Hmmm wonder what it would be like to fight one of those..." he wondered before Teams RWBY and JNPR came stumbling into the classroom, looking relieved as professor Port closed the door.

"Hey (Y/N)!" Ruby said as she waved at the young man before she and her team sat in the row in front of him.

"Ahem! Monsters! Deeemons... prowlers of the night. yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names. But I merely refer to them as prey Haha!" professor Port said.

(Y/N) heard light snoring and looked to see Ruby was asleep, honestly he was bored as well, she was suddenly woken up and looked to the professor.

"Uhh, and you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy" Port continued.

(Heh, doubtful...) (Y/N) thought to himself in annoyance.

"Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces" Port said as he walked up and down the classroom.

"I'd like to see them try" (Y/N) scoffed.

"And that's where we come in" Port announced.

"Huntsmen! Huntresses..." he finished that with a wink at Yang, which she awkwardly laughed at.

"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask? Why... The very world!" Port says proudly.

"Ehh...Yeah!" a random student yelled, however the stares he got made him shut right up.

"This class is so boring..." (Y/N) said to himself, he hated sitting still and could feel the  anger build up within him from the lack of action.

"That is what you are training to become. But first, a story" Port said.

(Y/N) slammed his head on the desk hard, making the girls look back at him briefly.

"A tale of a young, handsome, man. Me. When I was a boy blah blah blah..." Ports voice fades into a distant monologue, meanwhile the Sith was just trying to keep from drawing attention to himself.

"Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. "Peter" he told me blah blah blah..." his voice faded away again.

(Y/N) then heard Ruby giggling quietly to herself, he looked down and saw that she had drawn a crude picture of Port calling him professor poop, she then blew a small raspberry with a smile.

(Y/N), Yang and Ruby laughed a little, while Weiss gave a disapproving glare at them all, port cleared his throat loudly getting them all to look back at him.

"In the end the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high. Celebrated, as a hero" Port bows to imagined applause.

"The moral of this story? A true huntsman must be honorable" Port said.

"Oh this sounds bad..." the Sith groaned, however he then saw Ruby somehow balancing a book and an apple on a pencil with one finger, while she pulled a silly face making the Sith half want to laugh and half impressed.

"A true huntsman must be dependable" Port says.

"I can be dependable about killing things..." (Y/N) said, he heard light snoring and saw that Ruby had somehow fallen back asleep.

"A true huntsman must be strategic, well educated and wise!" Port said, (Y/N) then saw Ruby picking her nose with a bored look on her face.

(Y/N) felt his own anger rise again, he was told this was a combat school! Where's the combat?!

The Sith felt Wiess's anger rise within her to the point she was shaking, this was an interesting thing to see.
