A New World: Star Wars System

John and the ARC troopers, along with their 20 droids, casually walked north towards the Jedi's camp the next day.

They walked and rested very three hours, arriving a bit aways from the camp. The sun was beginning to set, and smoke began visible above the trees.

John sensed 10 Jedi at the camp, and decided to look at a skill he should've gotten a while ago.

[Intimidation: Intimidate your enemies to lower their morale and to boost morale of allies. This skill has 15 stages instead of 10.]

He bought the skill, immediately maxing it out, leaving him with 23 skill points.

He looked to Indigo and Jinx. "You and you're droids be as quiet as possible, and only move in if it seems like I'm being overwhelmed." He took out the lightsaber hilts if Sarah and Tamet, latching them time his waist. "I don't intend to fight them, but..."

Jinx nodded. "We got it, sir!"

Indigo turned to the droids. "All right, droids, let's move out!"

They all moved out and spread out a bit around the camp, cutting off all exits.

The eldest Jedi in the camp sensed the presence of a life form approaching, and ȧssumed it to be Tamet.

"Ah, you're back, what happened to your apprentice, Tamet?" The man chuckled for a second.

No response. The footsteps kept getting closer, causing the man to get ready for anything. John walked to where the growing moonlight illuminated his armor a bit.

The man put his hand on his lightsaber. "Who are you?"

John continued walking as the man began to feel a darkness surround him, courtesy of Intimidation. He walked up to the man and spoke.

"Jedi Knight Tamet and his apprentice, Sarah..." John took the empty hilts. "...are dead."

The man's hand shook as he looked into John's visor. "Did you kill them?"

John stretches his arm out, offering the man the hilts. "I already returned their bodies to the force, Jedi. Tell your order I won't let anyone get in my way."

The rest of the Jedi, who were young knights, watched the man's shaky hand grabbed the hilts.

John patted the man's shoulder. "I don't want to kill you, so don't follow me." John turned around and began walking away. "Well, at least not yet."

As the man sighed, John stopped in his tracks and walked back to him. "I need some information from you..."

John, Indigo, Jinx, and the droids walked back to the temple.

[Main Quest Complete: An Ancient Order]

[Rewards: 10,000 Experience, 50,000 gold, 1x Free Cloning Facility Building]

[Level up! 35 -> 37]

[Unspent Attribute Points: 0 -> 6]

[Unspent Skill Points: 23 -> 27]

John smiled under his helmet as they walked into the temple. The villagers stayed inside at John's order, and haven't left.

He looked at them. "All of you have to choose something. Would you rather stay here, where you have a guaranteed future..." he looked at Emilia. "...or leave to go back to being a broke village?"

The people mumbled to each other for a couple seconds before quieting done. Hosea stepped forward. "We all would like to stay, Lord Thane." The people all copied the salute the clones have done, and John smiled. "Good. Hosea, come with me to my room. The rest of you can go out of the temple now."

As people walked down the temple's stairs, Hosea and John began speaking in his room. "Hosea, you're not originally from the village are you?" He looked at Hosea's silver ring. "It's so strange you had a ring like that in a village so broke. What's it's purpose? Hiding a level, strength?"

Hosea sighed. "Lord Thane, please don't tell anyone." John nodded. "Yes, it hides my level and restricts my strength. I deserted the Capital and the army with my wife and had to hide my level. My daughter doesn't even know."

John removed his helmet and laid it on his table. "Show me your true level." Hosea reluctantly removed the ring, allowing John to see.

[Hosea Myers: Level 92]

John was shocked by his level. "Hosea, how did you get so high?"

"I never stopped fighting, Lord. It's why I left."

John grabbed the man's shoulder. "Hosea, in the near future, I will begin creating an army like Indigo and the other three. So you think you could help train them in battle tactics and strategies?"

Hosea laughed. "I'd be honored, my lord, but if they use the magic blaster weapons the others do, they won't need training from me."

John rubbed his chin. "Just battle tactics, Hosea. The facility and the ARCs will teach them everything else."

Hosea saluted. "Yes, sir. I'd be honored."

King James and Arthur walked through the droid factory, examining every inch of it again.

"My king, I don't think it'd be smart to use the army of a monster!" Arthur was against using the droids. For one, they had no idea how the worked.

"Do not worry, Arthur you said yourself that the man is probably dead. Besides..." the king raised a buŧŧon he found. "....I think I know how to control them."
