Chapter 7: Dia's Tasks
Leo followed Dia and saw one YT-2400 light freighter south-east of Mos Espa, he looked at it with interest and child-like curiosity, 'A Real and True Spaceship! Finally!'
A set of stairs descended and he entered it while looking around and inspecting everything. He said to Dia, "Where did you get this?"
Dia answered, "It was a reward that I got after a bounty hunt..."
Leo nodded calmly but inwardly he was extremely excited. He made his way to the command room of the ship and looked at everything, he engraved the sight to memory.
The ship smelled like a brand new car, "How old is this?" He asked.
Dia answered in an unsure tone, "I don't know but it works well, you need not worry, master."
Leo nodded, 'I sure hope so... There is something I must do before going to Korriban.'
He turned around and left the ship, Dia followed with confusion but didn't say anything. They went back to Mos Espa.
Leo thought, 'To become a Sith Emperor, I must gain over myself, then others, then one order or organization, then a world, then species and eventually the galaxy itself. I will gain control over myself as I grow up and train to become stronger; I have Force Seed for others and to gain influence over orders and worlds, I need to not only control their leaders with Force Seed but also, all the resources alongside economic, political, and military power.'
He observed the streets as he walked by and nodded to himself, 'What is Tatooine's most critical pillar that keeps the planet going? If I control that, I essentially control the planet. After that, I can implement my plan for Wealth and then find a Krayt Dragon... This planet has a lot of mines so it is worth conquering; I need those mines to build my army...'
He came to a conclusion, 'I need to control the Moisture farms... Or rather, I need a puppet to do it for me, I can't be bothered to waste time myself on such a task.' He looked at Dia. 'I found the 1st task for my Acolyte.'
'After controlling the Farms of all the cities, I can take over the Criminal Empire here and proceed with the next steps. Dia will do the 1st part and I will return from Korriban to Force Seed the Criminal Empire... I have to go to Korriban and use its connection with the dark side to improve and get the ability to use dozens of Force Seeds; It all depends on that. When I think of going there, I feel the Force urge me to...'
He entered the famous Bar and Dia followed, he sat in one of the seats and looked at her. "I have your 1st task."
Dia ordered something then perked up and listened with interest. Leo said, "I need you to take control of all the moisture farms on this planet, you have to get monopoly and control over it. With it, you will gain the influence and power that comes with major wealth. I don't care how you do it, I need those farms. The one who can control those can control anyone on this planet. What do you need?"
Dia frowned as she drank something and went into thought for a minute then said, "Master, that is a hard task, I either need a lot of credits to buy them all or take them forcefully which will be even more difficult. In any case, It will take a long time to control all of the farms on Tatooine..."
Leo nodded, "I see... I will give you both. Credits you can steal easily from others. As for the other one, choose 7 of the best people you need and they will become your slaves. How confident are you then?"
Dia grinned, "Very." she left some credits on the table.
"Good. I have another task as well but I will tell you what it is when we go on the trip I mentioned." Leo stood up and left after saying. Dia followed.
Leo asked, "Bring me to the 7 people you want."
Dia replied, "I need an hour to locate them." Leo agreed and went back to his temporary house and began packing things up. He took the credits and some books then left.
He saw Dia waiting for him at the same spot. "Master, I know who I want and where they are. 1 is very smart with a good knack for business, he is also wealthy. The others are fighters or big criminals..."
Leo nodded indifferently, "Remember if you fail your path will come to an end."
She led him to them and he used Force Dominate and then planted a Force Seed in each one. He explained to them during Force Dominate that disobeying Dia meant exploding. 2 didn't believe so he had to make someone nearby explode for a demonstration which horrified them. He promised them great rewards and power upon completion of Dia's task but we all know what would happen to them...
At the end of the day, he came to stand in front of Dia's Spaceship. He entered and stood in the command room.
He turned toward Dia and said calmly, "The other task is simple, take me to a trusted Spaceship seller. we need to buy food, water, and supplies that are to last for months as well. We need Long Distance communicators to keep in touch..."
Dia nodded seriously. Leo continued, "Get some credits from the so-called wealthy slave, we need to buy a ship for me, I need to travel somewhere. On the way, Teach me all you can about piloting ships..."
'I need to conserve on Credits so a cheap ship will have to do. I have 4,000 credits and if she gets 8k from the wealthy guy, with 12k I can buy one based on the prices I read in one of the books I bought...' Leo reasoned with himself.
Dia felt a little overwhelmed with all the tasks, 'As I suspected, it is impossible for a human child to have such a mind and behavior and with this new fact that he doesn't know how to pilot. He must be some very old Sith who had incarnated in that body, A Sith from times that spaceships worked differently... he is a slave driver but I have to keep up if I want that power...' She thought.
A few hours later after checking everything was fine with the ship and buying supplies, Dia flew out of the atmosphere. Leo watched the whole process with intense focus. Not only did it feel exhilarating to fly in space, but it also felt a little frightening.
She taught him how to pilot and Leo learned with great enthusiasm. He got the hang of it in just a few hours which shocked and terrified Dia. Whenever Leo felt at loss on what to do, the Force would guide him which gave him the impression that piloting spaceships was very easy.
"We have arrived, I know a great seller here who is also a friend, he will give us a discount," Dia said to Leo who was still looking at the controls with focus.
Leo nodded and stopped paying attention. He was far too focused on the new things he had learned recently, 'It is very easy, I memorized all she said; Whatever that requires skill, the Force will help me do.'
"Master, We are there."
Leo looked up and his pupils constricted, 'Coruscant?!!!' He instantly made his connection with the Force weak as he could.
"Why Coruscant? Aren't there many other planets? Tatooine was too limited in choices but there are many other planets that would have worked." he said calmly even though he was panicking a little.
Dia shrugged her shoulders, "A seller here owes me so why not use the 20% discount?"
Leo said a little forcefully, "Go back. We will go to another planet to buy, the discount is irrelevant. Now!"
Dia felt a little fear due to his sudden change in tone and changed the direction of the ship and entered hyperspace. 'Why? Right! How stupid can I be? The Jedi scum are there...' she realized that and apologized.
Leo remained silent, 'I need to be more careful...'
They headed to Alderaan...
