Here's the extra chapter for the power stone goal!
Additionally, if I could get you all consider if visiting Harry's world eventually would be cool...? I want to kind of explore it and maybe explore Drecarios' magical potential.
Anyway! Hope you enjoy the chapter! 🕶

"HARRY!" Sirius shouted out in desperation, his form blurring with celerity as he rushed to the edge of the bacta tank.Â
Obi Wan grimaced in trepidation. He had hoped that the other Sith Lords would be delayed so that he could get Anakin caught up before questions were asked of him. It now looked as if he had no other choice than to suffer the scrutiny of the Sith... His mind still kicked him every time he thought of treating a Sith cordially, as was evidence by the small twitch of his right eyebrow.
"What happened...?" The voice of Darth Nexus whispered into the chamber forebodingly.
Obi Wan tried his best not to gulp but failed as he saw a completely blank expression on the Sith Lord. "We don't know. The guards outside his door heard screams of pain and then a sudden thudding noise. Reportedly, they soon got their officer to unlock the chamber and found him in a pool of his own blood and some black residue near the scar on his forehead."Â
The Darth seemed to blink in acknowledgement before nodding slowly, his boots dully tapping on the durasteel flooring as he walked to Sirius. Said man was currently staring at his godson in concern, shock and dread.Â
"Sirius, I believe that the Jedi are not at fault." The dark curls of Canis swayed as he whipped his head to face Nexus as the man tried to calm him.Â
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? HE DOESN'T JUST GET HURT BY NOTHING!!!" Force power quaked throughout the room in tandem with his anger, military-grade durasteel and transparisteel buckling and crumbling everything but the bacta tank.Â
Nexus seemed to take a breath before slapping the other Sith Lord. The echo of that blow was so loud that it almost drowned the sound of the medi-bay doors opening to unveil Anakin and Ashoka. The former of the new entrants immediately drew his lightsaber and activated it whilst the latter looked on in curiosity and shock.
"Master...!?" Anakin was slowly inching forwards with his lightsaber faced forwards and down, ready to deflect any sudden attacks.
"Calm down Anakin... The Sith are just, having a disagreement..." His former Padawan looked at him with complete bewilderment, his sky-blue eyes watching as Nexus stared at Canis.
"Okay. I may have deserved that, but what do you mean it wasn't the Jedi?" Canis had apparently calmed at the slap, who knew that was all it took to mellow a Sith's rage?
"Remember I told you of my origins and how I knew of Harry before...?" Nexus spoke slowly and enunciated his words, as if trying to draw attention to the hidden meaning in his words, which Obi Wan could not for the life of him comprehend in this scenario.
"Yes~?" Canis looked mildly shocked and confused.
"Mouldy Shorts, scar, Force Powers, Magic...? Getting it yet?" Nexus words' were utterly confusing and seemed to have everything to do with a pair of mildewed pants, and nothing at the same time... What was going on?
Canis facepalmed and exhaled in mild relief. "Of course, that curse must have done something that his magic interacted with. Sorry for the outburst, he's the only thing I have left." Nexus waved the man's apology off before looking towards the bacta tank.
"No worries, I'd be worried if it were my sisters. Family problems make us all emotional... Just make sure to control it tighter in future, you know what our master taught us."
As if he was remembering a fond memory Canis started whispering his response...
"Peace is a lie, there is only truth. Through truth, I understand my passion...Through understanding, I gain clarity. Through clarity, I gain power...Through power, I shape my chains. Through will, I choose to break them..."
The whisper made Obi Wan and Anakin shiver, their interest and weariness shining in the force like a beacon of light in the dark. Nexus nodded with a smile at the man's words though and simply patted him on the shoulder, his attention drawn to the new occupants of the room.
"Ah, Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ashoka Tano. It is good to meet the man who is supposedly the chosen one of the Jedi order." Said chosen one was blinking rapidly in confusion at the Sith Lord's cordiality, his lightsaber still humming away ominously in his hands despite his confusion.Â
"A-um... Do I know you?" Anakin's response was weak but apparently enough to make the Sith chuckle.
"No, you don't. But that doesn't mean I don't know you. Besides, it is hard not to detect you within the force." Obi Wan frowned at the Sith's lacklustre explanation.
"What do you mean sir?" Ashoka asked plainly, her curiosity getting the better of her.
Nexus looked to the Padawan and smirked. "Skywalker's presence is prominent on both sides of the force young one. He has the potential to balance the force or potentially imbalance it. As of this moment I am concerned that he is on the path towards the latter, it is something I wish to discuss with your order once we are present on Coruscant."
Her master's eyes twitched in annoyance and disdain as Obi Wan rubbed his beard in contemplation.
"How dare you suggest I would turn on the Jedi!?" The 'chosen one' snapped out.
"Hmmm... I wonder if I should visit Naboo sometime soon. I heard the planet was quite beautiful." Anakin paled at Nexus's words and Obi Wan could not help but instantly draw conclusions based upon the reaction of his former Padawan. He had always had suspicions about certain relationships but had held his tongue due to trust... Plus the fact that he had, certain, breaches of the Jedi code in his youth.
"Don't you dare-" Anakin's words were cut off by a small chuckle from the Sith Lord.
"Hehe, enough stupidity. I know that you are married little Knight. I know that you have trust issues due to your time as a slave. I know that you have issues with regards to the Jedi due to the fact that Obi Wan was almost always on missions when you were a Padawan... I am not a fool and I know things that you do not." Nexus' tone was neutral and mildly tired.
Obi wan looked utterly shocked and hurt from the insinuation that his own absence in his Padawan's training had hurt him. Anakin in the meantime felt utterly exposed. All of his inner most secrets and feelings had just been exposed in front of Sith Lords, his Padawan and his Master... He didn't know what to do or think at this precise moment, it was all too much.
"Your emotions are as easy to read as your face, 'Chosen One'. I can sense the confusion you have with the Jedi code and also the tension that is grinding against you and the order itself. The fault of the Jedi has always been trying to enslave things that will not be enslaved... Emotions are one of these things... The Sith were another of those 'things'." All three Jedi looked emotionally spent and yet the Sith continued on.
"Emotion needs control, but it does not need to be caged and lashed into the dark recesses of one's mind. Love is a positive emotion, the laughter after a good joke is positive as well... And yet the Jedi say that these things are a pathway to the Dark Side. What they are, are things that allow Jedi to think for themselves and value things besides the order itself. Now, whilst your all stuck standing there gaping at my words I'm going to wake my young friend and see if we can get his side of the story." Nexus turned and walked up next to Canis, the latter chuckling into his hand after hearing the entire speech.

Sirius continued chuckling next to me as I internally sighed in relief. Most of that knowledge was fan theories that had been made after the prequel movies were made and I had just rolled with it.Â
"You totally bullshit your way through that, didn't you?" Sirius questioned me in a whisper, his steel-grey eyes shining in mirth.
I grinned. "Yep, most of that 'knowledge' was theories made by fans in my universe. Of course I can't be certain of all the aspects being true but if their reactions are anything to go by, it may just have been correct." The old dog started cackling loudly, his entire face curled into the act of laughing.
"You're even better than James at throwing bullshit at a wall until it sticks." He whispered after he finished cackling, his gaze once more attaching itself to Harry who was floating inside the glass capsule.
"I aim to please... Now, let's wake up this little shit, shall we?" Sirius nodded at my rhetorical question, his body language screaming out that he wanted to give his son in all but blood a hug.
Waving my hand over the tank I sent a small pulse of force power that would stimulate the centres in the brain that began the process of bringing someone out of unconsciousness. It wasn't a difficult force power if you could molecularly scan someone in, what others would perceive as, an instant.Â
A moment or two later the boy hero was woken inside the transparent green liquid, his expression flexing into something painful before it subsided into a look of mild discomfort.Â
"Sup pup, feeling better after your little fall?" Padfoot sassed as Harry slowly registered what was going on around him.
All the boy responded with was a spray of bubbles as the mask on his face supressed his voice. Sirius barely stifled a laugh at the panicked expression on the boy's face, his countenance relaxing as he witnessed his godson moving around without issue.
"Yeah, yeah, we get it, you can't speak... We'll get you out soon." Harry flashed his god father a chagrined glare as he waved off his situation. I just stood there copying the molecular structure of bacta, the design of the machine itself and the medical droid and its data banks.
It didn't take long after that for Sirius to order the medical droid to grab Harry out of the tank and drop him on a nearby seat. Boy hero naturally sputtered after yanking the mask off his face, his eyes shining a bright emerald and his curse scar fading away into a soft white that could be barely seen on his forehead.
"You're a dick Padfoot..." The boy's god father guffawed and then lightly cuffed him upside the head.
"That's enough of that language young man. What would your mother do to me if she heard you speak like that to me...?" Sirius exclaimed in mock horror.
"Probably join in and cuss you out, mangey mutt." Harry murmured out, much to my amusement.
"I am not a MUTT!" Sirius looked properly annoyed now, though I could tell it was faked and he was just looking to lighten the mood.
"Agree to disagree..." Harry smirked out, his emerald irises shining in challenge.
It was into this moment that Anakin finally snapped out of his complete stupor.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE FORCE IS GONG ON!?!?" The 'chosen one' screamed out.
I rolled my eyes.
"You're acting more like a Sith than a Jedi?" My response immediately stumped him and had Obi Wan guffawing now. Ashoka was just mind blown, standing next to Obi Wan whilst probably building a mental list of questions.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
"See?" Sirius and Harry collapsed onto their knees laughing at the apoplectic Jedi Knight.
