Zarith; light shrouded in Darkness

Chapter 5: Old life? or New life?

Zarith's POV

I come out the wormhole with the two warships, I look to see a blockade at I'm guessing is Corusant. Suddenly they started firing at our direction. I flew down to the surface while the two sides fought each other. I flew down to my floor and had the ship stay in hover mode as I jump in front of my shop, it looked like it hasn't been touched for a few centuries, I sighed, knowing that Michael and the others to have died long ago. I open a wall in my room and it revealed a curved hilt in the middle of four hilts themselves, I knelt down and meditated. My eyes open to a beautiful world, when I heard "Jazla, come here." I turn to see her, Lucina, coming over and kneeling down, her brunette hair covering my shoulder. She looked at me, smiling. "Honey, you don't need to meditate, we have a perfect universe" she said, as she kisses my cheek. I chuckled. We gazed in each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity when a large shadow covered us and the plot of land that we were in. Rakatan ships, we could tell it was our own creations, but why did they come to us? Then suddenly they fired upon us, barely missing us as we ran away. "Jazla, go escape, I'll catch up to you" Lucina said to me, stopping and facing our pesky creations. I pleaded but she sent me away off-world. As I drifted for the immediate time being, I looked for Lucina, when I could sense her, barely reachable. I used the nearby tree to see what happened and I began to cry at the sight I saw. Lucina just stood there, trembling as she was surrounded by the feeble creatures, their weapons aimed at her. I screamed as they shredded her body, releasing her energy. I screamed and swore that I'd take revenge for Lucina by punishing the ingrates. I woke up to see the body grown. I sighed, I may lost my status but not my power. I turned to open the wall next to the hilts to reveal a white robe and helmet. I chuckled when I remembered how skilled those Force users after the failure were. I began to notice that there was tremendous darkness in the force.

I step out of my room, dressed in the white robe with all five sabers either on my belt or on both sides of my robe's cape-like outer cover. I looked around the store, reminiscing Micheal and Ashton's childhoods, each of them running around the store. I chuckled as I hold the helmet, reminding me when I fought in the past. "Hold it right there trespasser, you're under arrest" I turn to see a young woman looking at me angerly. I chuckled, walking up. "Young one, you can't beat me" I said. She ignited her saber, the red glow bright and hummed. "Stand down, Jedi" She said, raising the blade at my head. I smiled as I touched the blade, turning it off. I couldn't fight her, she looked exactly like Lucina, maybe she has some good in her too. She looked shocked as she stepped back. "I sense the presence of the light within you" I said. "Who are the lords of this empire?" I asked, stepping closer to her. She shook her head, "They'll kill me" she said. I sighed and decided to go with my abilities, I read a bit of her mind, Rotta is a lord and...... ICHIGO?! How long has it been since I vanished? I come back to my mind. The young woman reaches the edge. "Stop" I said. I sighed as she trembled in fear. "What happened? To you, this galaxy and why does your stance seemed familiar?" I asked.  She calmed but her fists clenched, I can feel the anger from her. "They... they killed my parents and enslaved my brother...." she proclaimed. "I can teach you the light side of the Force if you're willing to do exactly as I say" I offered.
