The Dark Side...

I stood amidst the hall of knowledge, hundreds of acolytes of the Sith walking around reading and discovering history and force powers. Light arched from some hands as others used the force to lift Crimson Datacrons from tables, accessing the force-bound information within. Red glows emanated from every angle as the only other colours were the monochromatic white and blacks of stone, marble and the odd golden etching.

"First... One should learn to harness their force powers. Which it seems you have already done." Malgus, the bald one, attempted to move past that step but he was wrong about my ability in the force. I had never activated it fully or trained in it, i was simply this powerful.

"Stop. I need to learn how to harness, I have yet to complete that step." He stopped in his tracks, his force power surging to the point that the entire planet could probably feel it at this moment.

"Do not toy with me woman!"

"Why would I tell such a lie? I have no reason to?"

My expression must have been something as his anger and frustration turned to pure bafflement, his eyebrow rising as the the veins all across his head pulsed for a second. The body weirdness was concerning from an aesthetic perspective but I ignored it. He turned and walked up to a certain section of the library, hundreds of shelves glowing with the light of thousands of sith holocrons. Raising his armoured black gauntlet, his hand stretched out as holocrons began to shake and drop down from the shelves, floating in the air just before me.

"Each one contains the basic techniques for harnessing the force."

"I am guessing I just stare into it...?"

He did not answer as I stood there before the Holocrons. Acolytes in various vestments stared at me and glanced towards Malgus, their eyes alight in lust for power and glory. Jealousy was also detected by me as several men and women wanted to be where I was currently. They thought I was his acolyte, his trainee. Ignoring them I reached my mind into the Holocrons, finding some minor resistance until my unfathomable psychic consciousness drunk the entirety of the database in seconds.

'The Dark Side of the force is exactly like the 'Dark vs Light' story... To become more powerful in the Dark Side one must succumb to the darkness and let it ooze into every fabric of the soul. The light then is less of the removal of emotion and more the embodiment of positive aspects like love, kindness, mercy, charity and patience.'

'So to gain control over the dark, I must fall to it and then temper it with the light. For the light, I have to give it something to repair, something to strive to redeem... Heh, the dark side will have a field day with me I am afraid...'

I squeezed my hands into fists as I let every negative emotion I had ever had out into the stuff that I could feel was the force. My countenance changed, I could feel it, as if I had been drenched in the darkest most foreboding pits of doom and agony. My irises which were previously a bluish hue slowly grew more hateful as the colour shifted to a spiteful red and yellow. Lightning started to crackle from my finger tips and leaping to the floor below, scorching them bright orange as the sheer heat radiated from my emotions was overflowing into actual powers.

But this felt icky, as if there was more of a concept tied with this than an actual nature to it... This was not the completely right way of using the force. Perverted, this is what people could call this, it detracted away from the nature of the force and delved into the ideas placed and enforced onto the force. My mind reached out for what this deeper meaning was, this nature. All of the Holocrons in the room zoomed over to me and floated above my head in a massive tornado of crimson cubes. Thousands of Exabytes of information then siphoned from each Holocron into my mind. Entire treatises of Sith Lore but also esoteric knowledge and fringe knowledge of the Force.

'The Living Force... The Unifying Force... The Cosmic Force... and, the Cosmic Force...'

'The Force makes life, but life also makes the force... Cosmic fields of beautifully looping and self regenerating power. The Dark Side of the force is said to be a blight that must be purged within this Jedi Holocron, but that is wrong, I can sense a deeper meaning for the Dark Side...'

'The Unifying force... Space and Time connected to life and matter... Hold on, these beliefs are all stupid. Hmmm, perhaps the meaning isn't in the words themselves but in the underlying talents attached to them, time and space... I probed the force connection that I had just gained, prodding the various waves of space-time that I could feel around me. Like a Christmas tree it lit up, the force causing minor vibrations throughout the lattice.'

'The Unifying force isn't so much a philosophy as a connection between the living force the dimension we know as space and time...'

'The Cosmic Force is therefor the thing that embodies the entirety of all force types and merges them into what many know as the force. It neither has a will or a care, it simply is. Jedi, Sith... None of it is of an effect to it, they simply are parts of what make up its smaller parts and cogs. Does that mean it kills the sith and Jedi every now and then to maintain efficiency?'

I got no answer to my question but there was still one last part of the force I had yet to see yet.

'The Physical Force, uses the Unifying Force to as a code language to allow one to manipulate the cosmic force to lift, move, add velocity and various other momentum, gravity or leverage type feats.'

'Doesn't this mean that with the force, as long as you understand the connections of how everything works and have enough of a grasp on your own bond, that you could literally destroy and regrow a planet however you wish? How are the Sith and Jedi so fucking weak then...?'

The lightning from my fingertips calmed as my eyes returned to normal. That wasn't to say that my force projection was the same however, as every inch of it was packed with the power the Living Force. My life span, species and forms were massively increasing the generation of what scientists would call Midiclorians. Speaking of those disgusting things that were introduced on the spur of the moment by George Lucas, they weren't actually biological things... Instead, they were more metaphysical in nature based off of what I had downloaded into my head. They were more like neurons for the Cosmic Force to connect to in case it needed to do stuff. Every being could technically have infinite but also none, it all depended on how deep their understanding of the force and life was. In a way it was like cultivation from shitty chinese novels, except it made hundreds of times more sense and used logic.

"I take it you have learnt all you need to?"

"Smart, yes, I have."

"Then we shall move onto lightsaber training."

"I think I will actually start with force abilities. They are much more potent and powerful." He scowled for a few moments as his hand twitched towards his lightsaber in anger. Apparently he liked his lightsaber arts even though they were fucking stupid in practice. Who the fuck uses a light weapon that is dangerous on every face as a slashing weapon when you can simply poke out someone's eyes or heart with rapier techniques?

He started to walk through the temple, my pace not far behind his. This place was beautiful if stoic in construction. Grey was a constant pallet to this place but it was mixed with deep reds and blacks that served to 'grimify' the entire architectural design. Statues of various sith lords and ladies lined the long halls and tight corridors, droids and soldiers marching through and past every now and then. Pyramid like structures were sometimes seen deeper within, acolytes fighting atop them or actual sith meditating underneath them. Amidst my observations I had failed to notice that we had reached a new room, only finding out when my vision was cut from the pyramids and now glued onto library cases.

More Holocrons... Which I thoroughly gathered in an instant with a inwards flex of my right hand. No magic was used for this, it was simply an application of the Physical Force that was easy to grasp for someone of my level of power. Malgus frowned as his ominous armour clinked, shifting of limbs obvious despite his best efforts to hide this. He did not like how proficient I looked with that already.

'Hehe, he better buckle up for when I am the Force itself... All of it.'

Once again I peered through Holocrons... This time however, the information was packed in the Zettabytes. Minutes passed like this as my mind which was that of a Primordial God processed copious techniques and forbidden force abilities, 'spells' and 'rituals'. Honestly the rituals and spells were just used for those that needed to substitute for their lack of connection to the force and wished to carry out the abilities still.

'These idiots don't even know how much they just helped me gain control over the force... With the Light side coming soon, I can start my journey to find more esoteric knowledge on Yavin 4, Illum, Tython and Valkorian's ship...'

"Thank you Malgus."

"Do not thank me yet..." His lightsaber ignited as I felt the force of it start plunging towards my neck.

'Yeah... This is what I expected from them!'
