-CHAPTER 4-

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN

"What the hell?!" I stopped dead staring at the three occupants. "No no no, you told me he was a smuggler! That means weapons, spice and other mundane shit ..NOT FUCKING PEOPLE!"

I screamed. Completely ignoring the fact I did not need to speak out loud to the game system.

A SMUGGLER TRANSPORTS ANY ILLEGAL CARGO THEY'RE PAID TO. SLAVES ARE ILLEGAL. MOSTLY

"Yes. Cargo meaning crates and other inanimate things, occasionally animals. Not people!"

THEY ARE IN THE CARGO HOLD, THEREFORE THEY ARE CARGO. THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNCONSCIOUS THUS TECHNICALLY INANIMATE

Letting out a frustrated shout "you're a dick , game. I moved to look the three over for any major injuries surprised to find none I turned to Nyx "how long will they be unconscious for?"

"they were given a strong sedative when Bolan collected them, it will last 3 more hours at least." As the droid spoke I realised it even sounded like Liara. I swear the game is trolling me..

What no snarky text box? Ok then.

Ok so I don't have to deal with this issue yet, thank fuck. "Good. Leave them be for now" I float back from the cells heading for the door Nyx following "your ten minutes are up, will you be joining me? Or the scrap heap?" I stared intently at the droid, true I could easily destroy or disable her with another Force Wave but I really didn't want to. The idea of having what was basically an upgraded female HK- 47 on my side was so bad ass.

She was silent for a moment before her photoreceptors flashed open. "You are intriguing, for a human I will follow you, For now, master". She actually sounded excited. That was a little creepy...

NYX IS NOW YOUR ALLY

LOYALTY: 10

"Good choice, I'm guessing this ship is registered with fake transponder ID?" I ask. I'd rather not have to deal with having to set up fake identification on top of everything else. "Yes, and you can change the current ID from the main console in the cockpit". So it was similar to how the millennium falcon had its systems setup. Good to know. "one less problem. "Right, I've got a couple hours before they wake up, so my goal right now is to take over black sun. You want to help Nyx?" my original plan was to find a ship and get as far away from here as possible. But for some reason Black Sun annoyed me, and the thought of crushing them was strangely appealing.

Nyx looked at me her head tilted slightly – for a moment I thought she would say I was insane – "finally. I can kill something, lead the way master".

At this point I should probably say I didn't actually expect to overthrow the entire pirate organisation right away, no I was just hoping to kill a few grunts like Tarak the bounty hunter and raise my level. And for a while that's what happened. I headed back to where I'd left the two bodies earlier with Nyx to find a group of four black sun guys lurking around, understandable, I'd killed their guys of course they're going to investigate. If anyone is going to kill black sun grunts its supposed to be them.

It wasn't really an exciting fight when the highest level they had was 7 with 700 HP. Using the last of my trusted bolts I put a hole in one of their heads killing him instantly, before he had even hit the ground Nyx had taken out two more leaving the level 7 the last man standing. "Nyx hold him still, I want to test something." Acknowledgement came in the form of a cannon bolt through the knee as she approached and pinned his arm behind his back. His HP now at 625. Moving in front of the pair I activated Force Enhancement for the first time trying to push my power into my right arm. The effect was interesting to say the least, my arm muscles strained for a moment before adjusting and I could feel the flow of power throughout my arm As I watched my MP lower by ten. Curious, I added another ten MP and the feeling of power increased, not wanting to waste more time I punched the grunt in the face.

DMG TAKEN -100 HP

CRITICAL DMG TAKEN – 125 HP

TARGET'S NOSE HAS BEEN SHATTERED

Blood exploded from his face as my fist connected with his now obliterated nose. "holy shit that's powerful, sorry about that friend." I nodded to Nyx "kill him" I barely even finished the words and he was already dead. Yup I loved this droid.

That was the pattern the rest of battles followed - which had the added bonus of multiple level up notifications - until we reached what looked like the commander of black Sun and his two person guard.. well one now, the other was quite inconvenienced by the smoking hole in her head courtesy of Nyx.

LEVEL UP YOU ARE NOW LEVEL 10

NEW SKILL LEARNED: ID CREATE

NEW SKILL LEARNED: ID ESCAPE

ID CREATE Allows the user to create dungeons with various enemy types in a pocket dimension while ID ESCAPE allows you to leave and return to the real world. NOTE time will be frozen outside of the dungeon.

AVAILABLE DUNGEONS

EMPTY DUNGEON

Seeing the skill I just got I had a crazy idea. 'if this works I am a genius' I thought as I activated ID Create: Empty Dungeon. The world around me froze and distorted slightly and everything disappeared, Nyx, the bodies, guards and blaster fire. Everything I was alone in the empty black sun base "this skill is too cool" I quickly moved into the room behind where I know the Commander was in the real world and used ID ESCAPE. The empty world around me shattered like glassas I returned to the real world.. Right behind the black Sun commander.. "I am a genius, a broken genius" those where the last words he heard before I pulled the trigger on my blaster pistol killing him with a head-shot.

Putting my blaster away I turned to Nyx as she killed the last guard. "well that was easy, how long until our friends on the ship wake up?" she paused, checking the time "10 minutes and 37 seconds" that was just enough time to get back to the ship "time to head back then we can sort this place out later, let's go Nyx" I started for the doors to the turbo lift that got us here assassin droid just behind me. "master?" "question Nyx?" i asked smirking. Her photoreceptors blinked off for a second and back on "how did you do that?"

I pressed the control for the lift, chuckling. "I'm just that good".

A/N: Sorry for the wait on this slightly shorter chapter . Next chapter will be the three slaves waking up.

I wanted to answer a couple reviews I got.

To the guest reviewer

Thank you very much for your review. It actually helped me a lot with this and parts of the next chapter your fantastic suggestions.

To death fury

I was trying to get that HK feel so I'm glad you liked it. And as to your lighsaber question. I'm thinking about it. I'll have to find a way to use it effectively.

I'd like this story to incorporate a bit from the readers. So if anyone has ideas for plot or side quests or ways the system can act or mess up. Perhaps characters you want to see. Anything really. Leave a review and if I like it I'll try and add it or a nod to it at some point
