This is my first swing at a star wars fanfic. I decided to do the beginnings of Yoda's training to become a master. I'm sure somewhere someone else has done this but it never hurts to give a swing at things. So if you decide to read this please review with honesty. I don't care if you flame my story because criticism is what helps to make a story better. Oh and as a side note to prevent myself from suffering the attack of George Lucas's lawyers, I don't own any characters created by George Lucas nor do I own Star Wars. Only the characters which I've created belong to me.


Preface - The New Jedi


The Jedi Temple was a vast monument of power. The Force flowed through every crack and corridor in the building. All of the beings, both alien and human, that lived inside this place were either training in the ways of the Force or were already master Jedi. All Jedi had the potential to use the force due to many life forms living in their bodies called midi-chlorians. That is what gave a Jedi the ability to use the Force. All Jedi had to follow a specific code in which they devoted their life to. There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force. These words swam through the mind of a young being named Yoda. He had been brought to the temple by a Jedi named Yal-Sera. She had traveled beyond the outer rim to a miniscule planet to find the young boy. The temple had received information on him from a Jedi outpost located on the planet. He had been noticed by the Jedi Knights located their due to his outstanding abilities. He was a trouble maker and had gotten into trouble quite often.

The reason he stuck out from the rest of the children there was he never stayed in trouble. Any time he would get caught in an act mischief he talked his way out of things. Though he didn't know it he was really controlling their minds with the Force. The Jedi had noticed this and quickly summoned a Jedi Master to the outer-rim planet to bring Yoda to Coruscant for evaluation. It was at that time Yoda first walked the halls of the Temple. The two entered the main hall and Yoda was blown away by its immense size. Many doors lined the walls of the vast room. He looked all around and found them countless. Yal-Sera looked down on the youngling and smiled. She remembered the first time she had walked these halls. Her kind face hid her age very well. One would look upon her and say she was merely thirty years old. This was not the case. In fact she was fifty-four. Too old in her opinion, but she kept that to herself. She gently laid her hand on Yoda's shoulder and directed him to a lift located at the end of the hallway. This was the moment in which Yoda would be tested. It was beyond that lift that his destiny would be decided. Neither he nor anyone else in the Temple knew that he would grow to be the most powerful Jedi in existence. No one knew about his true power. Yoda simply followed Jedi Master Sera into the lift to find out whether or not he would stay and train to become a Jedi. It was then that nervousness took hold of him. He looked up to the master Jedi accompanying him for console. She looked down and smiled. This is where his journey began. This is where the Jedi Master that trained one of the most powerful Jedi became one himself. This is the story of Yoda.
