"Charming..." said Dar, with a very obvious tone of irony in his voice, "you really expect I'm going to stop harming you if you ignore the lesson about respect every single time. I'll give you one more chance, which certainly is not a very Sith thing to do," he narrowed his eyes, growing tired and annoyed with a string of abuse from somebody he was teaching and helping. He wanted to see what he would do this time, if he really was learning from the Force. He raised both his arms and used a great deal of power to make the ledge come away from the cliff and it tumbled, Jonas on it, toward the floor.

The Training of Jonas Eldridge

Jonas hadn't expected this he only just caught the ledge holding onto it for dear life. The Ledge was already 3/4 away from where it had been loosened and its distance increased every second. Jonas knew he couldn't stop this large slab of rock in time to levitate himself from harm and there was nothing on the ground he could pull upwards to jump upon. All of a sudden an idea came to him if this didn't work he'd likely break every bone in his body if not die. Jonas summoned all his anger about him the emotions welling inside of him responded and surged forth. Using all his anger, passion, and fear he cast the Ledge down into the ground. Even before the rock hit the ground there was an explosion of noise like that of thunder. The Rock smote the ground Jonas braced himself and a split second later a great shock wave rose up from the enormous newly formed crater slowing Jonas's descent towards the ground and ripping apart the landscape around him. He landed lightly inside of the massive crater and immediately jumped out the crater it was red hot and towards its center it held a small molten pile of slag. Dust whirled around him clouding his vision but he felt his Masters presence on the ledge. His ledge had escaped harm it was to high up for the shockwave to have loosen it. Leaping upwards he landed next to his Master and knelt. "My disobedience and lack of respect shall no longer hinder the progress of our training my Master." He lowered his body further to show his submission though this was partly from the fact that every bone, muscle, and tissue in his body ached from the punishing rigor of his training. Jonas was wary of his Master but he would wait until his Master told him to rise the man was not playing around if he disobeyed him once more he'd probably die by his hand.

He referred to himself as "our" and Dar was almost certain he had some kind of split personality. He seemed to be learning, at last, and now Dar was pleased. "Now you wall learn some things about the Force in relation to other people, rather than just pulling and pushing," he jumped down and motioned for Jonas to follow him. He led him into the prison block of the academy and into a dank room of cells, "In these cells are traitors to the mighty Sith Empire. Pick one and study him or her for the next five minutes. Learn as much as you can."
Looking into the the larger of the cells Jonas saw the most disgusting sight he had ever seen a small group of ragtag prisoners were fighting for a spot farthest away from him. Only one man stood above the rest he still had arrogance in his eyes but that was not what Jonas was looking for he sent the man flying into the cells bars. This caused the prisoners to scramble and fight even more like the plagued rats that they were. Jonas did not laugh these creatures weren't even worthy of a torture that he could devise when they had so suitably made one for themselves. There was only one in the entire group who held any sort of interest for him a small woman. She looked like she had been a Sith Hopeful just as he had been there was a neural restraint collar surgically imbued onto her neck. He forced her to stand and began to circle her immediately a few things came to mind. Her body looked tortured singed flesh and burnt hair numerous injection marks from probe needles. A vile smell of decay rose off her person. All of this Angered Jonas greatly she was weak but it did serve a purpose it showed what would of possibly happened to him if he had continued to disobey his master. 3 minutes had passed by and he had learned nothing more he had even used the force to sense what she was but it was still the same information. He turned respectively to his Master and asked "Is it possible to break into the minds of others to gain information?" he awaited his masters answer with patience.
"It is, but it is a feat beyond an apprentice. Even I am not proficient at it, particularly if those I am trying to read are Force users. I merely want you to assess the prisoner and tell me what you know."
He waited, expressionless.
He waited, expressionless.
"This woman is weak though she once was a force user. She holds great fear in her heart though she may not look it now. She is a vile creature not worthy of living and with your permission Master I'd gladly kill it." He recited he looked at the woman she looked at him then turned and ran. Jonas merely pulled her back with the force so that she fell and lay cowering on the ground.
"We shall not fail." Both of Jonas's personalities answered in unision. He turned back towards the woman gathering about his anger he used the force to reach out with his mind. He sent the thoughts of his darker personality at the woman. "KILL, REND, TEAR, BREAK, DESTROY, BLEED, DIE, DIE, DIE!" The thoughts broke into her mind destroying most of her precious memories. She rose in a fit of rage and began attacking the air screaming in anger. Jonas realized he hadn't given her anything to attack he continued to batter her mind with rage. "DEATH, DIEING, FLESH, BLOOD, REND, KILL!" In her mind he sent her a mental image of the other prisoners. The Woman leapt into the cage like a wild animal and started beating the other prisoners a few fought back but some lay still hoping she wouldn't notice them in vain. Jonas urged her on sending her about her bloody slaughter of the prisoners. When she had finished her attack he released her from his mind and turned to his Master. "It would be inefficient
in a fight but it would make a great distraction in other events." Jonas stopped speaking and waited for his next order.

Stepping towards the cages he raised up his arm. Anger had been brewing inside of Jonas ever since he saw the prisoners he allowed it to bubble through him to the center of his Palm and then into his fingers. Five bolts of lightning shot forth from his hand and struck a group of prisoners. One of the prisoners fell dead the others burned and shocked as the lightning arced through them. Jonas was enraged he hadn't even managed to kill most of them with his power they were weak prisoners if he couldn't kill a group of them how was he supposed to kill a person of greater strength! This time his rage was great he conjured the lightning and speared it through the prisoners a great number of them died and those who didn't felt unimaginable pain. "I like this power Master it's as if the dark side flows through me and smites all those incapable of using it!" A terrible joy had filled him hearing the screams of terror and agony. He awaited his next task eagerly "This is true power" he thought.
Dar looked at him, his face still blank, "I told you to pick one prisoner and kill them, not half of the bloody prison's worth. We'd best move on."
He led him back out of the prison and into an empty, stone training room, "What do you know of lightsaber combat?"
He led him back out of the prison and into an empty, stone training room, "What do you know of lightsaber combat?"
"That those who know its art hold one of the greatest powers in the battle field. I've never been in a position to learn swordsmanship but I've always been eager to learn the secrets of its arts. I've used a vibroblade before and all I know is too use my strength, wits, and speed to get the better of my opponent." Jonas answered anticipation growing in his voice he'd often dreamed of being a Weapons Master with no equal in battle.
"Then take this," he handed him a training lightsaber, "and trust in the Force, let it guide you."
He telekinetically placed a visor over his apprentices eyes and switched on a training remote, which began to fire stinging bolts at Jonas.

Jonas jumped sideways igniting his saber as soon as he heard the shot but was hit by one of the bolts it felt like someone had just kicked him in the leg. He rolled sensing out with the force brought his saber up and tried to swat away any incoming bolts. He managed to send back a couple of the bolts but three of them drilled into his chest and sent him falling back. Pushing himself up he leapt into the air weaving his saber in and out in an effort to speed up his defensive parries. He continued like this for minutes drenched in sweat he'd managed to let the force guide his movements now the shots weren't landing anymore. With a single flurry he sent a barrage of bolts back at the simple machine causing it to drop from the air. He kept his visor on letting his breathing slow down until he turned towards his Master.
Jonas bowed in acceptance and left the room a few minutes passed and he entered the library. He studied the texts there on known lightsabre forms the search was dull and he took to reading two texts at once. Finally he came across a form he found fitting and useful "SOKAN." He walked back to the training room and knelt before his Master."I've found the most fitting form for us." He looked up at his master "SOKAN."
"The reason we chose that form was because of it's ability to destroy even the strongest of foes. If we're to learn the use of the blade it might as well be to use their own weaknesses against them. The use of this form will require us to set up my opponents defeat and use the terrain and my speed as defense. This form will hold the best in a battlefield situation where we have to face a force wielding opponents and large number of lesser troops. We think that this form would be the best but if you say otherwise we will follow you unquestionably."
Jonas answered he held his kneeling position on the floor waiting for his Masters answer.

His last statement showed weakness, and Dar did not like that, "For now pick one of the seven forms to study. You can devote your time to the elite forms when you are a Knight and can actually use such things. What is your choice?"
