Kalakar Six: Part 1

Before meeting with Yeixrian, Arlo went over the abilities of the Sub-Classes that went through their first evolution.

According to the System, Class Progression Quests rarely appeared at the Level 10 mark, but if they did so, it wasn't considered bad.

Rather, it was better in the long term of things, because Arlo could access a greater range of skills and abilities.

In the case of Stellar Inquisitor, Arlo was able to understand foreign alien technology at a surprisingly great pace, while enabling himself to recreate it to suit his own development of the systems.

Stellar Inquisitors were also able to revitalise their current technological systems into an advance state of improvement.

Similarly, a Galactic Journeyman could handle all sorts of technology and utilise it, even if it might not accept foreign biology.

Even building various equipment with his own hands could endow the items with substance to take on a spiritual form, influencing the quality of the materials and the items use.

After returning to the Tempest, Arlo worked on adapting the Sky-trooper design schematics with the Void Legion to create a new product line named Sky-Void Trooper Legion.

Graded as Elite, the design schematic surprised Arlo because they could be easily utilised, and mass produced within the Empyrean Dimension immediately.

The System rewarded Arlo with a production line to automate the creation of the Sky-Void Trooper Legion and its modular attachments variants.

Surprisingly, the System also gave him a kilogram of Vibranium of the Uncommon Grade, which strengthened the absorption ability of the material and its durability.

It went straight into the Empyrean Dimension and started to be mined to produce the Sky-Void Trooper Legion, though besides that it wasn't going to be sold into the Force Universe.

As it would be used for the Sky-Void Trooper Legion, Arlo decided it would be the main force of the Star-Void Grand Guild for now and the future, but it would operate in the shadows, whereas the Void Legion and Sky-troopers would be more present in the public's eye.

By the time Yeixrian found out about the changes, Kortana had already implemented the new production lines and begun the creation of the various robotic and droid forces.

All this occurred as Arlo reached the Sith World, Kalakar Six, with the System notifying him of a unique sudden quest.

[The First Step Away from Fate…]

[Description: Host has arrived on a Sith World, formerly part of the Sith Empire thousands of years ago.

Kalakar Six is a moon of Dromund Kalakar, a former Sith Empire shipyard known for its construction capabilities, is now a forgotten place, rarely visited by travellers who would be influenced by the Dark Side nexus.

Recently, Kalakar Six has flared up, sending a pulse through the Dark Side of the Force across the galaxy.

This attracted the attention of the Jedi High Council, who sent Karae Nalvas and his Master to investigate the reason for the Dark Side to flair up, however they aren't aware that the Dark Side nexus on Kalakar Six is much too strong for Karae Nalvas to handle]

[Host needs to:

- Help Karae Nalvas understand the Dark Side to reenforce his connection to the Light Side

- Help Jedi Master Leto Farstric explore the ruins of the Sith Academy and Temple]

{Are you going to let them meet the StarKiller version of yourself?}

"Well, I think its better than them meeting the Death Reaper version of myself.

It'll also improve our relationship with the Jedi High Council."

{Very well, Arlo.

You may want to start moving fast then, I've already found Jedi Master Leto Farstric's Starship}

Yeixrian's early alert of the Jedi's arrival helped him race through the hot, sweltering conditions of the moon, as the molten lava churned all around him.

It made the atmosphere heavy and difficult to breathe in for the average person, but Arlo found it quite pleasant with his Powered Armour Suit helping him stay nice and cool.

Arlo made sure to expend his strength to race up the mountain path that led towards the Dark Side settlement near the Force Nexus.

With help from the Force, Arlo learnt the Jedi Master and Padawan were nearing the hidden Sith Temple and Academy that was built beneath the settlement.

Pushing himself to catch up with the Jedi, Arlo felt a small disturbance the Force once they found the entrance to the underground structures.

"Fuck!

Those damn Jedi didn't even sense the impending doom they're walking into!"

{Hurry up, Arlo!

I think they've fall into the first trap after going through the entrance of the Temple!}

Shouted and cursing his luck, Arlo rushed through the settlement, using the Force to help guide him through to the entrance of the hidden underground Sith Temple.

It was glowing from the influence of the molten lava that helped fuel the Sith Arrays built with the Force Energy supporting their activation.

When Arlo walked through the entrance, his mental consciousness was attacked to find weaknesses of the individual to project, the Sith Array Spell didn't work, allowing Arlo to see Karae and Leto on the walkway of the Sith Temple.

"… They were manipulated by the Sith Spell, weren't they…?"

{Your right.

But surprisingly, they are expelling the Dark Side attacks on their mind, even Karae, who I expected to fall or at least start his decline to the Dark Side}

Arlo decided to wait and see while keeping an eye on the two Jedi, just in case either struggled to escape the Sith Spell.

Some of the time was spend analysing the Sith Spell and Array, especially its unique set up to take energy from the molten lava instead of a crystal as a power source.

Arlo thought it would be a good idea to implement it as part of mental training and fortitude through the Grand Guild.

As he notified Yeixrian about the refined Force Spell, Karae and Leto freed themselves from the Sith Spell Array, only to find Arlo waving at them.

"Took your time to wake up Jedi.

I'm surprised a simple Sith Spell was able to cripple a Master and Padawan for 10 minutes."

"There was much to understand within ourselves to improve our connection to the Light Side of the Force.

May I ask who you are?" Jedi Master Leto Farstric said with his eyes locked onto StarKiller who was laying on the ground while waving his hand through the air.

"I'm StarKiller, from the Star-Void Grand Guild.

I was sent here by my Master Star Vader."

Both Leto and Karae were confused by delighted to know a member of the Grand Guild was present to help with the exploration of the Sith Temple.

Though the Jedi Master felt a little worried since it was the first time a Jedi interacted with a member of the Grand Guild in the field, Leto sensed everything would work out well.

"Shall we focus on the exploration, Master?"

"Yes, yes of course, my Padawan.

Will you join us, StarKiller."

"Indeed."

The three started walking further underground as the outer structure of the Sith Temple came into view with molten lava helping light up the massive building.

At the same time as the building fully came into view, Arlo was alerted by the System that he discovered a new location which contained a Dungeon and relics of various sorts.

Besides the usual Credits and Experience Points as reward, Arlo also gained several Sith Lord Holocrons that were Mortal Graded.

Yeixrian sent the Holocrons to the Grand Temple of the Force within the Empyrean Dimension for Ood Bnar to utilise the knowledge they possessed.

In the meantime, he worked beside the Jedi to understand the information sealed within the Sith Temple.

.

"Master, why would they install a test of such cruel methods in the entrance of the temple?

Wouldn't this be quite harmful for the Dark Side Users if they experienced it again and again?"

Karae asked his Master, only for Arlo to speak up and answer the question of the Jedi Padawan.

"Its to ensure your mind is strong and not weak to mental attacks that might cripple them midbattle.

To be fair, the test is quite a simple one, yet the two of you took far too long to resist the Sith Spell Array."

Arlo's comment embarrassed the two Jedi, even angering the young Jedi Padawan, though he calmed himself after hearing his Master reply.

"That might be true, StarKiller, yet we've both learnt and improved our foundation of the Light side of the Force.

I can sense my Padawan has strengthened the walls of his mind, while I've reenforced my control over the Light side of the Force."

Leto still felt a little embarrassed by the situation because he understood StarKiller was concerned about their wellbeing during combat or battle if a Sith Spell became active in a similar manner.

The Jedi Master knew he had to be on alert from now on, especially with the Grand Guild member working beside him in the Sith Temple.

As they explored the huge halls of the temple, Arlo was able to decipher the knowledge written onto the walls and decided to take note of everything through his scans while updated the Jedi on his findings.

"The walls on the far left here, speak of Dark Side techniques to create a crystalised core within one's own body.

It's formed through quite the rudimentary method, where the individual's own soul is crystalised into a Force Spirit Core within the body.

Through this, a Force User can technically improve their Midi-Chlorian cell count, but it's a painfully and fairly dangerous method."

Arlo couldn't help but discuss the certain technique that was written onto the walls of the temple.

It appeared half complete and somewhat hated by the Sith, which was why it ended up on the walls of the temple as to display the failure of others.

Arlo on the other hand saw its potential but knew the approach of the original author was incorrect.

'Those Cultivation Techniques would be particularly helpful here.' Arlo thought as he moved onto another wall and started to examine the other various sketches.

At the same time, Karae stumbled upon a secret opening behind an alter that led further into the Sith Temple.

He was about to push on ahead all alone, but Arlo appeared beside him, pulling him back before he continued on the secret path.

"Last time you fell into a trap.

Wait a moment and let me go first to see if there is anything you cannot manage.

Understood?"

"Y-Yes sir." Karae was a little fearful of StarKiller, the mysterious masked man that appeared very much like a Mandalorian to him.

'W-Why can't I ever sense the Force around him?!' Karae complained to himself, after trying countless times to see if StarKiller was a Force User.

But everything told him the man had no connection to the Force, but his actions said otherwise.

Karae wanted to ask his Master about StarKiller, but he chose to wait as the man walked on first through the hidden path behind a smaller altar of the Sith Temple.

'Hm… Another Spell, and this isn't so simple either.' Arlo thought as he examined the Sith Spell Array that was focused on crippling the person who activated the trap.

It would easily leave Karae in a rough mental space and similarly cripple the Jedi Master.

Arlo didn't activate the Spell after removing his presence through the Force and disabled the Array before calling for the two Jedi, who were stumped by the intricacy of the spell array.

"A mental attack, and one that's going to cripple you permanently.

My God, the Sith were indeed cruel to their own kind."

Leto couldn't help but comment at the sophisticated level of the spell, before asking for Arlo to store everything if it was possible to transport the layout of the spell back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
