Star Wars: Scion Of The Sun

Returning back to my home after my meeting with the others concluded I headed straight for my bedroom.

Arriving, I went straight for my bedroom closet.

Using the Force to silence my footsteps so I would not disturb the still sleeping Serra.

Reaching my bedroom closet I got on my knees and then moved several pairs of my shoes out of the way.

I then held my right hand over a specific spot on the cleared portion of my closet floor and focused on it with the Force.

A minute after I did so the section of the floor I focused the Force on rose up.

Revealing the secret storage safe where I kept the Noetikon's.

Since they are much too valuable to just leave lying around.

Not to mention I recovered them so they are mine.

Thanks to them I've made leaps and bounds in my understanding of the Force that would've normally taken me years to accomplish.

And they are still helping me progress.

Powerful artifacts they are.

Which is why I will never let them out of my sight.

Since if even one of the Noetikon's fell into the wrong hands the results would not be pretty.

Of that I am certain.

Taking my left thumb I placed it on the small screen located in the middle of the safe.

Where it was then scanned.

After it was I removed my left thumb from the screen.

Then the second after I did a set of digital numbers appeared on the screen.

Immediately after they did I typed in the numbered password I used for the safe.

The first name of my favorite waifu from my previous life.

Kurumi Tokisaki from Date A Live.

After I finished typing in the number password the safe finally unlocked, revealing all three Noetikon's sitting inside of it.

Just how I left them before I headed off for the Halthor campaign.

Reaching inside of the safe I grabbed the Noetikon of Secrets.

I then closed the safe door and re-locked it.

Since I was going to be using the Noetikon of Secrets for a while.

Leaving my bedroom, the Noetikon of Secrets in my left hand, I headed for my houses personal training room where I worked on everything from lightsaber combat arts to my Force techniques.

Reaching the training room I entered it.

I then went to sit in the middle of the room and began focusing the Force on the Noetikon of Secrets to unlock it.

This Noetikon having opened my eyes to secrets other than where the Force was concerned.

An event I remember quite fondly.

--------------------------

~Flashback~

Inside of the cargo bay of the Milano, HK-47 by my side, I had the Noetikon of Secrets sitting on the floor right in front of me.

For I was finally getting ready to open it up for the first time.

I wanted to open it earlier mind you, but it was as if the Force was telling me not too.

However now things are different.

After having faced Maul in battle and defeated him soundly, left the Jedi Order, and founded the Jedaii Order alongside my closest allies I now feel, and so does the Force, that it is time for me to gain knowledge from the Noetikon of Secrets.

So that is exactly what I am getting ready to do.

Taking a deep breathe and then exhaling it I called upon the Force and focused it on the Noetikon of Secrets.

As I did the second ticked by as I felt the Noetikon responding to my actions and opening.

Then when it was fully unlocked the hologram of one of the master's who knowledge was stored in it appeared in the air directly above it.

The master in question being one I was highly familiar with.

For she was not only one of the greatest Jedi to ever live in the galaxy, but she also gave birth to a line of some of the most powerful force-sensitive's in the entire galaxy, and was the wife of Revan.

I am of course speaking of none other than Bastila Shan.

[Insert Image of Bastila Shan Here]

"Greetings I am Jedi master Bastila Shan. Who are you and why have you opened the Noetikon of Secrets?" Hologram Bastila spoke to me.

Looking much much older than she did in the KOTOR games.

'Looks like she didn't start her information into the Noetikon of Secrets until she was a granny.' I thought.

Though that's not a problem for me.

Especially since it just means I get to learn from an older and wiser Bastila.

"Greetings master Shan, my name is Van Sunrider. As to the reason I opened the Noetikon of Secrets it is because I wish to learn from it." I explained.

"To what end?" Bastila asked.

"To reach the balance between the light and the dark. Like your husband did long ago." I spoke.

"I see." Bastila mused. Observing me with her gaze.

Which she stopped doing when she finally noticed HK-47.

"HK, is that really you?" She asked.

"Statement: Yes holographic image of my former master and my creators secondary mate. It is I, HK-47." HK spoke. "Query: Are you perhaps malfunctioning? Statement: For that is the only reason my thought matrix can generate as to why you asked such a pointless question."

To HK's word hologram Bastila gave him a flat look.

"I see your snark has developed even more." She said.

Confusing me.

"Sorry, but master Shan what do you mean by that?" I asked. "Wasn't HK-47 always a snarky bastard?"

To my question Bastila shook her head. "No, he was not. In fact Revan never programed him to have such an aspect as a part of his personality. However over time it developed." She revealed.

Blowing my mind.

Since it means HK wasn't programed to casually insult me or others. The bastard is doing it because he wants to.

Turning towards HK-47 I looked him directly in his photoreceptors. "Well, anything to say for yourself?"

"Statement: No." HK easily replied.

"Right." I retorted, giving the assassin droid a flat look.

Which I only did for a few seconds before re-fcousing on hologram Bastila.

"Well, that certainly was a welcome surprise. And on that note master Bastila there is something else I would like to confirm. A while ago HK-47 informed me that you, Revan, and Meters Surik were in an intimate relationship. I would like to know if it's true?" I spoke.

"Yes. We were." Bastila casually replied.

Once again confirming what I thought.

It also confirms Revan truly is a chad, and that is rizzochlorian levels were over 9,000.

But that doesn't really shock me, considering I found an image of Revan in the Jedi Archives and found he is the spitting image of Keanu Reeves from my previous life.

Instead of calling Revan the Sith Lord they should've called him the Rizz Lord.

Also the Mandalorian of that time better be glad they didn't kill Revans' dog, otherwise the entire culture might've been wiped out.

"Commentary: Master I informed you my creator and the meatbag female Jedi's Meetra Surik and Bastila Shan regularly exchanged bodily fluids. Query: Did you not believe me when I informed you of this?" HK spoke.

"Not entirely." I replied.

"Query: Why?" HK-47 asked.

"Because you're a misanthropic, sociopathic droid who wouldn't hesitate to lie, steal, or cheat me, even if I am your master if you thought it could help you fulfill your primary programming, or just for your own personal entertainment apparently." I replied.

"Statement: This is why you are one of my favorite masters." He replied.

"Right." I said. Returning my attention to Bastila.

"Young Sunrider, why did you want to know of my relationship with Revan and Meetra Surik? More importantly why do you seek the balance between the light and the dark? That is not the Jedi way. Or has that changed?," Bastila spoke to me.

"Yeah, a lot of things have changed since your time Bastila. Mostly for the worst." I said.

I then began giving Bastila a cliffnotes version of what had taken place in the galaxy since her era.

From the 'Great Galactic War', to the New Sith Wars, to the Russian Reformations, as well about the changes to the Galactic Republic, and everything else in between.

Including how I ended up face-to-face with her right now.

Listening as I spoke Bastila eyes narrowed more and more, until eventually she was wearing a perpetual frown on her face.

If she was alive I'm pretty sure I would be sensing anger, disappointment, and disgust from her person.

After I finally finished telling she how I reached my current position she started letting out a slew of curses that would make sailors in my previous life turn bright red with embarrassment.

Once again showcasing just what kind of woman Bastila was.

As well as how kriffing lucky Revan was to have rizzed her up.

Five minutes passed before Bastila stopped shouting curses and profanities.

When she did so she then looked directly at me.

"Van Sunrider. I shall teach you all I know. The secrets of the Noetikon of Secrets shall be yours." Hologram Bastila told me.

Bringing a smile to my face.

Her words being music to my ears.

~Flashback End~

--------------------------------

After that first time I accessed the Noetikon of Secrets it was usually hologram Bastila who appeared when I once again opened it to learn from it.

Though that doesn't mean I haven't interacted with the hologram's of masters Chamma and Jesper Altax.

It's just those two prefer to let hologram Bastila take the lead in instructing me when it comes to the secrets of their Noetikon.

I know it sounds weird, but Force stuff is weird as hell.

Especially where holocrons and Noetikon's are concerned.

So I'm just going along with it.

Since at the end of the day I'm still getting what I want.

Soon I finished opening the Noetikon.

When I did the hologram of Bastila appeared in the air above it.

"Good to see you again Van Sunrider. Now, let us pick up where we left off." Hologram Bastila spoke.

"Yes mam." I replied.

Thus I once again delved into the mysteries of the Force under the tutelage of Bastila.

Which is always a fun time.
