Temptations of the Dark Side

Chapter 17

THE NEXT DAY, (Y/N)'S POV

I woke up in my bed next to what felt like a warm body, I opened my eyes and looked down to see her laying down with facing me breathing lightly in her sleep, I smiled as I remembered what happened last night all my experiments had succeeded and I managed to unlock the Force in my first Apprentice, I could feel her new connection to the Force within her she would become strong under my guidance, she would be the very first person on this world that will follow me down the path of the Dark Side and the conquest of this world...

I sat up in the bed and stretched my arms above my head getting some satisfying cracks and pops from my shoulders and back, I then noticed HK47 standing beside the door powered down for the night but still ready to reactivate if an intruder threatened my life or the life of the girl sharing my bed.

I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window and opened the curtains to let the early morning sunlight in, the sun was only just starting to rise meaning I must have woken up very early today, almost instantly I heard a soft groan of annoyance behind me, probably the sunlight hitting her in the face.

"Five more minutes please..." she mumbled tiredly as she turned over with her back facing the sunlight, snuggling into the covers trying to fall back asleep.

"I'm afraid not, the day is young and it is time to begin your training" I said as I walked towards the bed and stood on my side with my arms crossed over my bare chest, she suddenly sat bolt upright as the sheets fell down around her showing she was still wearing what she wore last night when she came to me.

"(Y/N)!? What are you doing in my room?" she asked as she looked at me, confusion clear in her eyes and body language.

"Your in my room, remember what happened last night?" I said back as I chuckled from her confusion, her eyes closed in concentration, trying to remember what we did last night.

"Oh that's right, I came here because you offered to teach me about the Sith, and you said you were going to unlock the Force within me" she said as the memory came back to her.

"D-Did it work?" she asked as she looked to me with hope in her eyes, I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder giving her a serious look.

"There's only one way to know if it worked, follow me to the training room and we shall see how well the awakening has gone" I said as I finished putting on my robes, after that I walked over and reactivated HK47.

"GREETING; Good morning Master, did you two sleep well?" HK asked as his servos and mechanical joints whirred to life, his mechanical hands clenching and unclenching.

"We slept very well thank you, now I am taking the young lady to see if her she can feel the Force, I'll need your help with this" I said in an excited voice, I really hoped that it had worked because I need to have an apprentice on this world, and she would make an excellent one.

"POSITIVE RESPONSE; I see, very well Master I shall assist you and the female meat-bag with this endeavour, I am sure she will be able to use the powers that the Sith are known for" HK said, the three of us walked down the hallways and out of the Dormitories towards the training room, the campus was empty as the three of us made our way to the training area, when we arrived we found the training arena empty of anyone, perfect for me to test and see if my new Force Power worked on her.

"HK, I want you to be the one to fight her, observe the training as you go and give her a hard time, enough that she will tap into the power she now possesses" I said as my new potential pupil walked further into the training room.

"QUERY; Is that to Incapacitate, not kill Master?" HK47 asked.

"Yes, but make her think your going to kill her so she will tap into the power of the Force..." I whispered to the rust coloured assassin droid, he silently nodded his head and followed me as I walked towards my new student who was looking at me expectantly.

"So, how are we going to see if I can use the Force now?" she asked me curiously, I walked towards her and placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Simple, those who hold the power of the Force will be able to feel it as they fight, for this purpose you will be facing HK47, and be warned he has faced the likes of Jedi and Sith before so if you slip up, you will die..." I said in a grave tone of voice, I saw her eyes widen slightly at my words and tone of voice however she nodded her head in understanding, she went to equip her weapon but I stopped her.

"For this exercise I want you to use one of my Vibro-blades to fight" I said as I passed her one of my Vibroblades she looked at it unsure before looking back at me.

"Why can't I just use my own weapon?" she asked me.

"Because it would be too easy for you with a weapon your familiar with, and think of it this way, this could also be the first step towards learning how to wield a lightsaber" I said, her eyes lit up at that before looking back down to the weapon, she took firm hold of the hilt and walked into the arena with HK47 ready to fight.

My new potential apprentice got into what looked like a martial arts stance as HK pulled his Blaster Rifle from his back, they stood a few feet apart observing each other carefully, I signalled for the match to start and HK immediately started to fire his Blaster Rifle at my new pupil, she quickly dodged the blaster bolts and rushed at him to close the distance with her borrowed Vibroblade, however one of the blaster bolts grazed her upper right arm making her wince in pain before having to dodge more HK was firing at her, I felt her emotions flare briefly from the wound before it was pushed back down and repressed, I instantly felt annoyed at what she had just done, I had read how the Creatures of Grimm were attracted to strong negative emotions and I guessed that they were teaching the students to repress these emotions to keep themselves safe, however in order for her to fully embrace the Dark Side she will have to cast aside this way of thinking and fighting in order to gain her new powers.

Another blaster bolt hit her in the shoulder as she jumped to dodge leaving a pretty bad burn on the skin luckily it will heal over thanks to her Aura, she dashed at HK again this time seeming to be able to avoid the blaster bolts as they were fired at her.

"OBSERVATION; The target appears to quickly adapt to hostile situations, activating advanced targeting modes too risky, preparing to engage in close combat" HK said as he stopped firing and watched my new pupil draw closer to him, finally my new apprentice reached Hk and tried to slash him with the Vibroblade however HK effortlessly dodged the attack and grabbed her wrist, applying pressure making her cry out and drop the Vibroblade before HK used one of his torture methods to channel electricity through his metal hands into her body, she screamed in pain as the electricity coursed through her body before she fell to her knees with HK maintaining his iron grip on her wrist and shoulder, then as I watched a spark came over her body indicating that her Aura had just been fully depleted leaving her vulnerable, I felt her emotions spike even higher after that I sensed pain, fear, and just under all of that was what she needed...

Anger.

Suddenly her eyes flashed amethyst and she screamed, not in pain as she did before but in anger as she pushed at HK with her right hand, suddenly HK flew backwards and smashed into a wall leaving an imprint of his body in the stone wall, I smiled as I felt the spike in not only her emotions but I also felt the Force withing her come to life, I watched her as her eyes widened in shock before she looked down at her hands I felt confusion and uncertainty in her mind as she tried to make sense of what just happened.

"W-What did I just do? And what is that sound?" she asked as she strained to listen to a noise only she could hear.

"So, you hear it now. It is faint since you have just opened yourself to it... but it is there" I said as I walked towards her and stood in front of her.

"W-What? Is there something wrong with me?" she asked, she was breathing quite hard from the adrenaline and the pain she had to endure, but she was recovering but stayed on one knee looking up into my eyes.

"That is the Force you feel... it must be rather interesting, experiencing this kind of power and feeling for the first time" I said as I smiled at her, I remembered the first time I had ever felt the Force during one of my parents 'training sessions', while the training itself was unbearably painful the sensation of the Force awakening withing me was indescribable...

"I-I can't even explain it, there aren't any words..." she whispered as she looked down at her hands, a look of wonder plastered over her face as she took in every sensation, every feeling.

"That's right my apprentice, listen to it, feel it filling your very being with promise of power and new possibilities, things you could never do before now" I said, I looked over and saw HK pull himself from the imprint and look to me for orders, I raised my hand and motioned for him to stand down which he did before walking towards the doorway, I looked back to my new pupil and saw that she was still on one knee so I reached out to her with my left hand, she looked at it before looking back up to my face again.

"Come with me, I shall teach you what you need to know about harnessing this power, under my teachings you will become so powerful, none will stand against you" I said in my most persuasive voice, she reached up and took my hand before I pulled her up from the ground and started to lead her out of the training room.

"Where are we going now (Y/N)?" my new pupil asked as we walked back towards my dorm room, we reunited with HK47 and kept on walking back to my room.

"If your going to be a Sith, you need the proper attire, so I think we should get you a set of robes like mine, also since I will be teaching you from now on, address me as Master" I said, she sped up and walked beside me squeezing my hand with hers slightly a small smile coming to her face as we walked.
