After John asked the System, it opened a menu with 3 options.
[5,000 Gold Coins: Long distance Force manipulation]
[70,000 Gold Coins: Seven Lightsaber Forms Mastery]
[10,000 Gold Coins: Clear Force Vision]
John thought for a moment. "Why is the forms mastery so expensive?"
[10,000 Gold Coins per form.]
"I've got about 12,000 gold... and I need 4 more weeks before completing Fortune and Capital..." John picked up his helmet and put it on. "...I guess it's time to go. John used the force to deconstruct and reconstruct his saber hilt, but with the bleeding crystal inside of it.
As he walked outside, he was met with fifty commando droids, with 10 of them being squad leaders. "General." The 10 droids said at once. Christopher and the 4 ARC troopers walked up to John.
"Can we save my sister now?" Jinx grabbed onto Christopher's shoulder. "As long as you do what the General says, you'll be fine, kid."
John looked at the troopers. "The 4 of you will stay here to make sure droid production continues. Dex, take this B-2 blueprint to make sure that Hosea starts making them as well. We have enough commando droids for now."
"Yes sir."
"Before you go, I'll be taking one squad of droids with me, the 4 of you will each command one squad as well. Once B-2s begin being produced, each of you will be in charge of 20. Now go, I'm leaving for the Capital with Christopher."
The 4 saluted. "Sir!" They left to do what they needed, and John walked up to the foremost commando droid squad. "Droids, your numbers are 01, 02, 03 and so on, got it?"
The 10 droids nodded. "Yes, General. 01 is in command of this unit."
John turned to Christopher. "You have the knife?" Christopher nodded. "Alright, Christopher, I'm just gonna call you Chris. Tell me where the nobleman lives."
Chris asked for a piece of paper from one of the bandits, and drew a map of the capital, circling a small place to the left of it. "This is his land. He's got four concubines, including my sister. The man is protected by his own group of knights trained in swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and some magic. They're all around level 45."
John turned to Chris alarmed. "You know about levels?"
"Of course, everyone does. Did...you not know that?"
John shook his head. "I just didn't think everyone would know it." He looked back to the map. "How do you know all of this?"
Chris looked down at the vibroknife. "He was my father's best friend."
01 looked to John. "Sir, we have mapped out internally the best route. We will arrive in five hours if we leave now."
The twelve of them set out immediately, with John leaving Indigo in charge. Close to 6 hours in, the twelve of them arrived in the nobles land.
"Sorry, General, my ETA was wrong." 01 said.
"It's fine. It's an estimation for a reason. Chris, is that large mansion up there his?"
Chris nodded. "Yes, since it's dusk, we should be able to sneak closer. If we show up in the wagon, they'll stop us."
John jumped out of the wagon and turned to look at Chris. "Who said we'll be sneaking? 01, spread your droids into units of 2 and go around killing knights. No civilians are to be harmed, unless you must knock them out."
"Yes, General." 01 did what John said as he and Chris began walking to the gate outside the mansion. Two of the silver armored knights standing at the gate saw John's glowing red eyes, and immediately stopped them. "I'm sorry gentlemen, but you can't be here. I'll have to ask you to leave, or call the rest of my boys." The knights stared into John's eyes without fear.
John stared at the knight as the sun finally set. "Do it."
The knight seemed to use a type of magic, and after a few minutes footsteps could be heard coming from the left or right. "Alright boys, let's-" when the knight turned to look at his knights l, he was greeted by commando droid 04, who used his vibrosword, stabbing through the knights armor, causing him to fall to the ground.
The other female knight seeing this, immediately tried to hit the bell on the wall, but was suddenly pulled towards John by a strange force. His hand gripped her throat and began squeezing tightly.
"Open the gate, or die."
The knight nodded, being dropped to the ground, she walked over to the gate, placing her hand on it. She used magic to open the gate, and there were many people inside. There were soldiers and knights, but most were civilians.
As they all turned to the gate, the commando droids jumped up on the walls and pointed their blaster at everyone while John began to speak.
"Excuse me everyone, sorry for ruining the..." he looked around at the decorations and large cake. "...celebration? That doesn't matter now, what matters is who I am."
One of the soldiers in the crowd, clearly drunk, walks up to John. "Hey, everybody! Look, it's the clown!" He went to touch his helmet, but John used the force to send him crashing into a bunch of barrels of wine. All the soldiers who were thinking of throwing him out, quickly got rid of the idea.
"My name is..." John thought for a minute. "Lord Thane, the bringer of life and death, whichever you choose." A knight with long white hair drew his sword and walked up to John.
"What do you want, Jedi?" The knight had a look of disgust on his face as he said those words.
John grab onto his lightsaber hilt. "Sorry, what's your name?"
The knight readied his weapon. "Arthur Wall."
"... and you called me a Jedi?"
Arthur nodded. "Only a Jedi could use such wizardry!"
As he ran at John, John dodged out of the way. 'Too slow. Is he really level 45?' John raised his hand to the knight. "Tell me what you know of the Jedi!" As he said that, everyone bore witness to his hand creating sparks of lightning, before green lightning came out of his hand and struck the knight.
'Nope, let's upgrade that please.'
[Force Lightning: 1/15 -> 14/15]
John used all his current skill points to upgrade the skill as best he could, to see if it would change colors. When he blasted the knight again, the lightning was a deep shade of crimson and a bit of purple and blue traveling through the current as well.
He continued striking Arthur without much effort until a voice rang out.
