I still have nightmares after what I did. I feel sick to my stomach but I try not to show it at least the others didn't see him do so. It's just that Vader was really starting to get to him after all those fighting lessons all that practice with the force and reading Sith texts that he was both fascinated and horrified by. It was hard not to feel alone he missed Cole's terrible cooking, Zane's calm demeaner and funny personality, Jay's need to always talk until someone shut him up, his sister always willing to listen to his angry rants about stupid stuff, and Lloyd how his heart aches from the heartbreak, from being separated like this even if he hated him. All he can do is listen to Vader although he does most of it without interest mastering everything almost instantly. Vader seemed quite pleased every time it happened but for some odd reason he didn't allow Kai to look in any mirrors saying it was part of training he didn't care that much. One day Vader tells him it's time to make his own light sabre Kai does so with enthusiasm. As he puts the parts together and goes through the whole ritual he's pleased when he presses the button and it activates. It was long and buzzed with energy as he swings it around it looked similar to Vader's though he was disappointed to find it was a golden colour he liked red better. Vader also seemed displeased with this but doesn't voice it as Kai sheaths the sabre.

"Rest up young one tomorrow we are going to complete your final test before you have completed your training," Vader said. "That's cool but have you seen..." Kai starts. "Phoenix they have left you how many times do I need to say that? I'm the only family you need now," Vader said in a harsh tone. "But..." Kai starts. "I am your family now and don't you forget it I shall be the one you look to for advice when needed. Now go we are departing for Jakkoo tomorrow morning," Vader said. Realizing there was no getting through to the Sith Lord he stubbornly nods his head and leaves to his quarters. When he enters he runs a hand through his hair and sighs sitting down on his bed that felt cold and hard. He summons a ball of fire and lets the flames dance around his palm it was the only thing that gave him comfort these days.

"They've left you so stop sulking about them I never needed them," Kai thinks harshly to himself snuffing out the flames. He sighs again and laid down on his bed closing his eyes as he drifts off into a dream. He looks around and finds himself in a dark void he hears a voice one that he recognizes but doesn't see. "I was captured on purpose to find you! We didn't leave you," Zane's voice yells out but he doesn't see anything. Before he can say anything he suddenly finds himself on the bounty with master Wu sipping tea in front of him.

"Kai I'm glad I could see you I feel a dark aura has corrupted you soul," Wu says. "I'm fine I don't need a old man like you," Kai said harshly. "I've always knew that you had a special connection to the mythical force to the dark side of it but also the side of the light," Wu said. "Then why didn't you tell me? Look what I can do I can do so much more than I dreamed of!" Kai asks feeling hurt. "Because you remind me so much of your father I knew that if you learnt the ways people would take advantage of you," Wu said. "How then?" Kai asks. "Tell me Kai do you actually like the power you posses. Your afraid of hurting those you care for you aren't one who looks to gain power your someone who uses what he has been gifted with to help others." Wu said. Kai is at a loss for words at that it was true he didn't actually like what he was taught besides the levitation thing but still. "I don't like them they hurt more than help with fire it's a beautiful balance between creating and destroying these only destroy," Kai admits. Wu puts his teacup down and looks at Kai with his gently, wise eyes. "I am happy to know that please don't let them make choices for you, fire can never be tamed and neither can you I should know," Wu said with a chuckle. Kai can't help but smile at the old sensei he was right he shouldn't let others make his decisions for him. "Master do you know where the others are?" He asks. "You will find them in time but know this my student I accept you even if you are still learning to accept your self," Wu said in his mystic old guy voice. He smiles and bows to Wu just as the dream dissolved and he woke up.
