29 Chapter Twenty-Nine

The LAAT landed as a few others took off passed it. John led the young slaves into the cloning facility and to the med bay.

The droids confirmed that they were Sith Pure-bloods, but John already knew that much.

"Will you be able to extract enough DNA to clone them?"

The medical droid looked at John for a moment. "Of course, Lord Thane. Would you like us to speed the aging process of the clones?"

"No, do not mess with them."

"Would you like to give us DNA as well."

John shook his head. "No." He turned to the young pure-bloods. "Whenever your finished, ask Cecile to bring you to me. She's the human girl with the white the hair."

John left and went into his room in the temple after examining the eight acolytes' lightsabers.

He took off his helmet and gauntlets, laying them on the table. "System, I understand that I can go into debt."

[Correct.]

"Since you have a debt system, do you have a trade system? Exchanging an item for its value in gold?"

[...]

[Correct.]

"Does the item have to be from this world originally, or can I turn in Kyber Crystals I create?"

[The Kyber Crystals would be made from the Force, meaning they are from the world, although forcefully created. They will be accepted in trades.]

"Okay." John leaned back in his seat. "What level do I need to be to unlock this function?"

[It unlocked at Level 50.]

"I can trade in anything?"

[Correct.]

John grabbed his lightsaber and stared at it. "Bodies."

[...No...]

"Didn't think so." John took out his old crystal. "How much will this trade give me?"

[Bleeding Crystal...]

"What will I get?"

[Bleeding Crystal...]

John sighed. "I don't know what I get until I trade."

The door to the room opened up and Cecile led the few Sith inside. "Master, your children are here."

'Children?' He looked at Cecile funnily before nodding. "Thank you, Cecile. They're not my children though."

"Are they not of your species?" Cecile asked. "They are also your responsibility, are they not?"

"Not if I make them your responsibility. Leave us." John stood up and walked over to them. Cecile bowed as the door closed. "All of you sit down."

The same girl from before spoke. "Thank you for saving us, Lord Thane."

He looked at them. "We are of the same species. Tell me your ages."

The girl spoke first. "13."

Then two boys. They looked like twins. "14."

Another girl spoke. "Sixteen."

The last of them spoke. A young boy. "9."

John clenched his fist. "Elves here are disgusting. You are sure you are the only 5 are the last?"

The eldest spoke. "Yes. Other than the twins, none of us are related either, if you want us to bring back our race."

John rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, I'm not stopping you from doing that, but I'd rather train you all. That's why I'm going to have you cloned. Although clones, they won't be changed in any way, so they'll still be Sith Pure-bloods."

The three boys looked at each other before looking to John. "Do we get to kill elves?"

John smiled. "Especially after what they've done today."

The eldest sighed. "I'm not interested in training, but killing elves sounds like a good reason to."

They all looked at the 13 year old girl who agreed as well. "When do we start training?"

John crossed his arms. "Whenever you want. I'll give you time to train physically and mentally before I train you to be true to your blood. Just remember not to kill each other, even if it's a clone. Throughout the galaxy, we may be the last of the Sith."

"Now go. Ask Cecile or the others about stuff if you need something. Tell them I said no one but Darth again may disturb me."

They all left as John sat down cross-legged. "Let's make some crystals."

[Kyber Crystal Formation: Level 30/500]

[Level 30/500 -> Level 41/500]

[Unspent Skill Points: 11 -> 0]

Arthur and Yuri sat quietly inside the tavern of the town.

"What do we do?" Yuri broke the silence.

Arthur looked at her for a moment. "As far as I know, we've only got one option."

Yuri took a drink as he continued.

"We go back to our lives."

She spewed her drink everywhere before coughing. "Are you kidding? Let that monster roam free?"

"I want him dead as much as you, maybe more, but I don't know anyone that could kill him." Arthur emptied his drink. "Do you?"

Yuri shut up after that, and the silence returned.

King James watched the droid army marching around as a smile grew on his face. "I'm a genius! HAHAHA!" He watched proudly as the droids followed very command he gave them.

"Sir, be careful to not issue them terrible orders."

"Like what? I'd never tell them to destroy the country."

All the droids stopped for a moment before looking at the king. "Extermination begun."

King James looked at his attendant. "This is your fault."
