5 New Training!

The ship that made an appearance was the Lich Xytan had received. There were many other ships flying around, but the sheer size of the Lich drew a few people's attention. Xytan could careless whose attention it drew, he needed to survive.

The ship activated and a beam of green light came down, it was the type of light from those alien movies where it looked like someone was being abducted.

Xytan said a few more things to them before the Mandalorian Warriors grabbed the 5 men. They all stepped into the green light and ascended into the Lich that flew away after 4 minutes. The sides of the Lich closed and it quickly flew higher into the sky and disappeared.

Xytan had set up a timer on the system on when Order 66 would initiate. Shortly after, he quickly left the alleyway where he could see many people still staring into the sky. Xytan hurriedly and made his way back towards the Massage Parlor.

His ultimate goal in survival had been set in motion, he had a chance to live this dark ordeal. He had to tell his Mandalorians that if that plan with the Hutts seemed like a failure, then don't attempt any further; they had to live.

After getting back inside of the Massage Parlor, he was noticed by the woman from before. She recognized Xytan, and had even heard his brief exchange with Shaak Ti.

"Shhh~!" Xytan put his index finger over his lips; signaling her to be quiet about him leaving the place.

The woman almost burst into laughter seeing this and only shook her head with a grin, as she contiuned with what she was doing.

Xytan didn't take it to heart, he had done what he wanted to do. Next, he looked at the system; the system had many things that could be used. Unfortunately, there was something he was worried about most, he wasn't afraid of confronting the Empire in the future.

However, there was something the Empire had that posed a serious threat to him, at least, would have. And that was the Death Star, this weapon could destroy planets with ease.

Xytan believed the army he would make would be powerful, but this weapon was too fierce every time he thought about it. If he decided to make a base somewhere and was met with the full-on attack of the Death Star, it would be all over!

"Sigh, what weapon can I make to counter such a thing?" Of course, he would remain in hiding to train and not go against the Empire for a time. He could think about these at a later date since they had not come into being yet.

On the other hand, Halo had some pretty powerful things that could put the Death Star in its place. Xytan knew that Luke would take down a Death Star but that wouldn't be until it has laid waste to many worlds.

Xytan didn't want to save this Jedi Order because it was so flawed in their thinking compared to Luke's Jedi Order in the future. They had to learn their lesson, and through Order 66—would they began to understand.

Xytan pointed his attention to other things, like his Lightsaber Combat training and Force Techniques. The force skills he wanted to use like Force Stasis couldn't be bought because of his weak ability.

"Sigh, they're all in gray, so I can't just buy them without meeting the qualifications." Xytan was a bit distraught by this, but there was nothing he could do about it but just wait. He could buy things like Force Jump for cheap, but he could learn this move himself and save points.

Xytan laid back and started to wait for Shaak Ti's massage to end. Time passed, and an hour went by just like that; this was when she appeared from the back. Shaak Ti was all smiles as she moved her shoulders up and down.

"Thank you for coming, please come again miss Ti." The Mirialan woman smiled and nodded at Shaak Ti before looking at Xytan with an inconspicuous grin.

'The hell you grinning at me like that for?' Xytan looked away as to ignore the woman.

"Ah, that was better than I thought it would be, I might have to come here at least once a week." Xytan didn't say anything as he listened to Shaak Ti's comment.

"I waited for a long time, let's head back to the temple to continue the next class coming soon." Xytan said.

Xytan got out of his chair as the Droid stood on his shoulder, it was using his back to stand on more than anything else.

"Oh, yeah, let's go. I hope you enjoyed your time out exploring while I was in the back." Shaak Ti smiled at Xytan, but at the same time, it wasn't a smile.

Xytan's expression froze, he knew she would find out, but the way she said it gave him a chill.

"Hehe, I ought to punish you for doing something so dangerous. However, I enjoyed that massage, so I won't hold it against you this time." Shaak Ti knew about the dark parts of Coruscant, like illegal street racing, the black market, and underworld fighting rings.

Xytan sighed in relief, he had somewhat expected this outcome; this was why he chose something relaxing that would occupy her. Afterward, they both left the Massage Parlor and arrived back at the Temple.

The next classes were to start in 25 to 30 minutes from now, so he wanted to handle a few things, well, look at a few things. Xytan left Shaak Ti to go on his way until the next class was to start. Xytan had heard that the younglings would be doing something different according to Shaak Ti.

What he really wanted to do was check out the Holocron, but once he took it out of the void storage, he couldn't store it anymore. He didn't want such a device to be discovered and taken away from him, so he decided otherwise.

Once Xytan was alone, he looked at the system again. He knew he wouldn't get a chance to get himself a Kyber Crystal from Illum since he was just too young for the trial. The older younglings or padawans initiated their trials around the age of 10 to 12 while he was still merely 5.

The crystals had a life of their own and chose their partners. However, the system crystals would all choose Xytan because of obvious reasons. In any case, it wasn't the same if he bought one from the system and tried to hand it to someone, it wouldn't accept them.

There was a way to bypass this, though.

In any case, he looked at all of the crystals, they really didn't cost much. There were some that cost more than the others, after all, there were other types of crystals that could power a lightsaber and not just Kyber Crystals alone.

The only Kyber Crystal color he didn't see was surprisingly red. But...there were other crystal types that were red, so there was nothing to worry about in that regard. Xytan just spent his time exploring the system, as he had never done this before. This was mainly because he was worried about his survival and couldn't think of enjoying many things.

The weapons from Halo and Predator were all here, he was so excited to see them eventually be put to use. The Binary Rifle was a serious threat, he even had fear of buying it, and it somehow getting in the enemy's hands.

There was still much to look at but classes were starting soon. Xytan stretched and left his room, racing over to his class. The room had the same amount of younglings in it, they all looked on with smiles as usual while talking to one another. If they knew how they would die, he wondered how their expressions would look then.

"Ah, Xytan, over here!" As soon as Xytan appeared, Viola called out to him. He smiled and walked over to her.

"Hey, have you guys been taking time to train and meditate?" Asked Xytan.

"Yes, we even got to see lightsaber combat books!" Jin said happily.

"What?" Xytan was surprised, all they've taught them was form 1, which was the basics of lightsaber combat.

"That's right, one of the masters showed us a few books. I really like the 4th style of fighting with the lightsaber, I want to train in that one." Viola nodded excitedly as she spoke in a childish voice.

"You mean form 4 of lightsaber combat?" Xytan exclaimed.

Before she could reply, Shaak Ti and another Jedi walked into the room. The woman was from the Kel Dor species, with her resembling Plo Koon.

"Hello, young ones, your training will be different today. It is time to advance your abilities a little further." Shaak Ti looked around the room and spotted Xytan who looked expressionless.

"This is Sha Koon, her uncle so happens to be Plo Koon." Shaak Ti introduced.

Every youngling exclaimed in joy.

"So, her uncle is a Super Jedi Master!?" Viola was also excited, was this person going to show them some of her moves? Xytan knew the story of this person, her Padawan died around 2 years ago and she hasn't taken a Padawan since then.

"Younglings, today, we'll be testing your abilities. We'll head to the combat room to see what you all can do, and what you can do to improve yourselves." Sha Koon said. There was no way to read her expression, so no one could tell what she was trying to express.

Shaak Ti instructed the younglings to follow them both. Now, they had a group of younglings following them, in which, they all made it to the combat room. The room was all white, it looked like the Hyperbolic time chamber to Xytan.

Inside the room was strange 3-dimensional blocks that were also all white.

"Everyone, get into a single file line as you do when you go get lunch." Shaak Ti ordered.

Every youngling moved and scuttled to form a line. Once the line was formed, the blocks started to move and Sha Koon was standing on one of them as she hovered over.

"Each of you will take turns jumping from each platform block, you must learn to utilize the force to make it to each block platform until you reach Sha Koon." Shaak Ti looked over the group of younglings and said seriously.

'Speak of the devil, I guess I'll be learning force jump sooner than I thought!' Xytan was just thinking about this technique earlier, but now he was going to learn it without needing to buy it—which he wasn't going to do anyway.
