Star Wars: A Second Chance

Prologue

Its night time on Coruscant, but life never stops here after the sun disappears behind the horizon, especially not in the jedi temple. Its been quite a few years since Luke Skywalker recreated the Jedi order, the force-user population in the galaxy grew to an unimaginable number, possibly the highest in galactic history. Its all thanks to Lukes efforts to restore the force, but time has gone fast, the great jedi master died, and the order divided to twenty grand master, who each own one academy. The one in coruscant is leaded by the best apprentice of the legendary master, his name is Pendrago Silvereye, the wisest, and strongest jedi among the twenty grand masters, an unofficial leader after master Skywalkers death.

Master Silvereye, as he usually did at night time, went through the corridors of the training sector, checking the younglings efforts. As he stopped by a training hall, he saw two students, practicing lightsaber combat. Those two youngling were only ten years old, but the force was strong in them. The old grand master stroked his beard, and watched silently how the battle of the young ones will conclude. The younger one was a human boy with short, spiky brown hair, unlike other jedi younglings, he has a wide grin on his face, always grinning, always ready for a combat that he enjoys so much. A promising jedi knight indeed, but he can easily turn to the dark side if he loses his self control, that's what the master always told him. His opponent was a girl in the same age, but more serious. The zabrak girl with blond hair - that was unusual in her species – possessed a great speed, that always evened the gap between the raw power, that the human boy possessed.

As the two saber collided, a sharp sound echoed through the hall. The boys two-handed, long lightsaber outmatched the other, his opponent drifted backwards, but still on her legs, she dashed forward, spinning the yellow saber in her hand. Another great clash could be heard, but now, the girl drifted sideways, and using that great momentum, she started to run around the boy with incredible speed, he turned around, holding the saber with both hands, created a perfect defense stance… The yellow beam of light slammed in the other saber, but the boys defense was superb, he only drifted few inch backwards, and as soon as the girl jumped back, he dashed forward, swinging his sword like a giant, glowing pillar. She went down, slamming into the wall behind her, the yellow saber fell out of her hand, it deactivated.

The grand master came in the hall, while the echo of the clash was still in the air.

Pendrago: "It was a good fight Draco, Trahve, but you two overdid it again…" he smiled calmly, while the ever grinning boy, named Draco helped the blond girl to stand up.

Trahve: "It was your win this time, but I hope you are prepared to lose tomorrow" she said, while standing up, then the zabrak let her friends hand go. "Thanks"

Pendrago: "You gave in to the pleasure of fighting again, young one" he turned to Draco, who crossed his arms after deactivating the saber. The master wasn't angry, just strict as ever, but after seeing the boys innocent thirty-four-teeth grin, he smiled.

Draco: "I didn't meant to injure her you know, master…" faked regret, but he couldn't hold his smile, he enjoyed this too much regret it.

Trahve: "You can beat me, but injuring me needs more practice" she sneered while hitting her friend in the back, the great jedi master couldn't hold his laugh anymore, so the two youngling started to laugh along.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few years later, deep in the forests of Kashyyyk, a war started, where the sith took part too. The sith… many years ago, the order thought they were extinct, after Vader and Sidious, no sith remained alive, but they were wrong. Many small sith academy hid in the galaxy, waiting for the great dark lord of the sith, lord Vader to die, so they can come out from the shadows again… The history of the sith after Vader is covered in shades, it cannot be told by a single person, its like a puzzle of history, what happened after the death of Anakin Skywalker? No one really knows, but one thing is certain, they grew strong under the hand of Darth Edax, who killed the weak handed sith lord, Darth Strorius who came after Sidious, and took his place.

Two teenage padawan struggled against the sith on Kashyyyk, a girl and the boy, both apprentice of the great master Silvereye, but now, they were fighting along two other masters. The two master went forward, to stop the stronger sith warriors, leaving the padawans behind. They are against two sith, the masters didn't want to leave them, but the boy said he and the other padawan can beat them.

Now, it seems it was a bad idea… the sith are too strong, one of them uses force powers, the other one wields two, blood-red lightsaber. Draco and Trahve are in disadvantage.

Trahve: "It was a bad idea after all…" she said, while jumping away from the lightning bolts, that the devaronian sith casted. "Crap… I cant avoid these things forever" She started to dash forward, her speed increased a lot, and with Dracos speed-stimulating force powers, she is even more quick. Her body is fading in the eyes of the untrained, but the sith easily avoided her blow, making her almost running down the branch of the huge tree they are fighting on.

Draco: "Don't do unnecessary attacks… you know they can see you" he grinned, while protecting himself with the oversized green saber he has. The sith with the two blades jumped backwards after that, and attacked again, slashing the sabers in a huge X formation. Draco slammed his weapon between the two red beam, defending himself, then he pushed forward with full force, but the enemy didn't even flinch.

"Why don't you just give up and die? You don't stand a chance…" the devaronian said, pushing a burning force-wave towards Trahve. The zabrak evaded the wave, then she quickly ran forward, but this time she changed directions, and with inhuman speed, rushed to the other sith, trying to slash his head off. The sword wielding one sensed the attack, jumped up in the air, watching the girl almost running in the other jedis saber, but again, she changed direction and avoided the fatal blow of Dracos sword.

Draco: "That was close" grinned awkwardly, but the girl didn't grin, she slammed the boy in the head with her fist, then turned her head to the two sith.

Trahve: "Don't grin like that at the border of death" grumbled, then she sneered "Or did you already give up?"

Draco: "Not really… I'm only waiting for an opening" he started to use his stimulation force-powers again, slightly increasing their raw power, speed, and endurance.

Trahve: "Opening you say? I make them give you an opening if you tell me your plan" she watched the boy from the corner of her eyes, the sith became inpatient, the devaronian started to come closer, his arms were covered with flames.

Draco: "I want the other one to use force-rage" he whispered, grinning, pointing towards the one with the sabers, Trahve was shocked, but she knew that if Draco has a plan, it's the only chance for survival. "Lets take down the devaronian first together, than create the opening alone, I have to concentrate for something"

Trahve: "An forbidden force-power again? Didn't master Silvereye warn you like ten times don't use them?" she sneered, Draco laughed, while both of them were charging towards the devaronian.

The fight was long, Draco managed to block the other sith with his ultimate defense stance, he always uses it against strong enemies. It's a stance where he holds the saber with both hands, next to his left leg, so the whole blade is in front of the upper body, diagonally protecting it from every blow that comes from the front. This stance, paired with his stimulation powers can be dangerous… Its not only for defense. When the enemy slams into the saber, he usually pushes the opponent backwards, lifting the saber upwards, so if he's fast, he can cut the enemy horizontally with a quick slash… Quite risky though… not good against two enemies, but while the one he fights uses swords, the other one only has his force powers, that makes thing easier.

After realizing this, Trahve went all out against the force-user, she doesn't need to worry about the other. With her quickness, stimulations, and confidence in Dracos defense, she managed to even out the gap between her and the devaronian. The sith blasted globes of fire towards her, but with that speed, nothing could hit her, she realized, that even if her enemy can sense her, he cant hit her. Regaining her full confidence, sneering at the enemy, she finally began to attack. Her strikes were always the most precise and deadly among the padawans, even if she used an assassin-like stance, she was respected by the other apprentices.

Trahve: "Its close… Its almost over…" she thought, while avoiding two lightning bolt. "I'm always attacking in the same pattern… how would he react now?" she grinned, turning right, dashed away from the strikes like she was scared. The devaronian turned around, waiting for her to come from the back, but she never came, the zabrak girl ran upwards the trees trunk, and before her enemy could react, she kicked herself down, towards the sith, stabbing with the yellow beam, aiming for the chest. Her enemy was surprised, but avoided the attack, and as soon as she landed on her feet, the sith pushed a straight lightning strike from his palm… it went through Trahves head.

Watching from the distance, while Draco was blocking his opponents strikes, grinned widely, knowing what happened… Trahves body didn't fell on the floor, it faded away in the air like an afterimage. The devaronian, after realizing this, looked downwards to his chest… he couldn't believe his own eyes as he saw a glowing, yellow blade piercing through his chest, damaging his lungs and destroying his hearth. The zabrak girl sneered, she stood behind her enemy, who's lifeless body slowly hit the floor.

Trahve: "You were too slow… time to create that opening" while glaring with a sarcastic look on her face, she dashed towards the other sith, who still fought with Draco. Draco knew that he didn't stand a chance against this warrior, but is he chose full-defense, he can hold him until Trahve finishes. With a calm grin on his face, he let the sith slam his body backwards with full force, so he can be far away from him. As soon as the sith started to dash after Draco, he was stopped by Trahves saber. She wasn't that strong, but this zabrak knew her enemy is tired too, and as Draco predicted, the sith started to sparkle, red sparks ran across his body, making his power even greater. That's force-rage, draining his life energy away, it makes him nearly twice as strong physically.

Trahve gulped, she had to hold this beast until Draco comes up with that forbidden power that she doesn't know about. It may be few minutes for that to charge, she is sure she cant make it then, but regaining her willpower, the zabrak dashed forward, but her slash was blocked with only one of her opponents sabers… the other saber slammed towards her head. She quickly dashed backwards, and when she saw the force around Draco to glow, Trahve sneered as usual, making her opponent feel a bit uneasy.

Draco concentrated all of his force in the palms, it was like he charged a beam of energy, but it was something other. Not that intimidating, but very useful and frightening… Slowly, his whole body began to spark in the color of blood red, the sith didn't realize it at first, but the padawan stole his rage, making him shocked for a second, but then he dashed towards Trahve, slashing a big X with both of his swords, only the girls afterimage was cut, the real body was far away. The boy stood up, bearing the pain that the rage inflicts, he slowly started to walk forward, grinning widely. The sith tried to activate rage again, but he couldn't, this power takes time to recover, Dracos face reflected excitement, this battle was as good as over.

Trahve: "Now I start to understand…" she watched Draco running, slashing towards the sith with all of his might. The sith could not block it even with both sabers, he drifted backwards, but as soon as he regained his balance, the padawan stroke again. "He's battle-joy isn't a path to the dark side, he simply likes battles… its his character… the masters misjudge him always… but to be honest, dominating the enemy that almost killed us is fun" she thought, watching the body of their enemy cut in two parts. Draco deactivated his saber, his usual grin was mixed with the expression of extreme pain caused by the sith stimulation… He started to fall forward, but Trahve held him, than she helped him to sit down.

Draco: "Thanks…" the effect of rage started to fade, but the pain remained. He tried to move, but he couldn't. "We have to… go after the masters…" it was almost impossible for him, Trahve shook her head and hit Draco in the shoulder.

Trahve: "We did our best here, don't rush in battles with this body" wearing her usual sarcastic expression, she gave a small hit to her friends shoulder, than also sat down. "I cannot hear the battle in the distance anymore… its like the war is over"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few years later, back at Coruscant, a big ceremony took place. The ceremony was held by master Silvereye, who stood in the great jedi temples altar. In the temple, many people were watching the man, who was kneeling in front of the grand master. Pendrago smiled, and calmly activated his silver bladed lightsaber. It was a rare kind of saber crystal, more powerful than any other, making its wielder look unbeatable. The grand master started to speak.

Pendrago: "You may be reckless sometimes, but after so many battles that you have won, and so many younglings that you have inspired to be the best, you finally reached the point, where you earn the rank of the Jedi Knight." He slowly reached both of the kneeling mans shoulders with his saber, but not touching them, then he deactivated his weapon. "Stand up, Draco"

The brown haired man stood up, with his usual grin, he bowed. His master turned around, took a jedi master robe from the altar, and gave it to the man. The crowd congratulated the new knight, who turned around, looking at the people.

Draco: "Thanks, I'm honored" he looked back at Pendrago above his shoulder, than looked back forward, he saw Trahve, who was already a knight, she gave him a small grin, then left the temple with the others. Draco wanted to go out too, but his master stopped him, touching his shoulder. "Is there something else?" he asked, turning around again, Pendrago just smiled, then started to speak.

Pendrago: "I'm proud that you finally made it, it was hard for you want it?" his smile became a bit strict.

Draco: "Wasn't hard, they simply don't like padawans who are gossiped to be half-evil" he grinned, making a joke from the gossips he heard from other knights. Trahve was always protecting him from those gossips.

Pendrago: "Just watch yourself, I don't want to hear that any of that is true…"

Draco: "Its not like you" he became serious "You trust me don't you? I didn't invent that power to massacre innocent people…… its for the sake of winning the war"

Pendrago: "I know, but the others don't know you as good as I know you… and they will think you are up to something… tone down your researches a bit for a while" he smiled, making Draco settle down, he gave his usual grin, turned around and started to walk out the temple.

Draco: "I will, don't worry about me"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Years after the ceremony, after Draco and Trahve became jedi generals, the order changed. The grand master, Pendrago Silvereye retired, making a new grand master take his place… This grand master was the perfect jedi in some of the masters eyes, but for the two generals, the order wasn't the same without the old man, who teached them. Some master say the new leader of the order earned her place, but she was truly a leader, unlike Pendrago, who was only respected, his successor was a powerful woman who clearly said herself, that se is the leader of the order. Without hesitation, the other nineteen master agreed…

Trahve: "But why?" she asked with irritated voice. The zabrak girl had a conversation with Draco about the new order.

Draco: "She was the one who killed Darth Edax you know…" he explained, while eating a bantha steak he bought that day.

Trahve: "Yeah but that's not right. Killing a strong enemy doesn't equal being a good leader." She growled "And her attitude makes me sick… I mean, very sick"

Draco: "I know what you mean" he stopped Trahve before she said some bad words "But master Divina is the leader now, after Edax died, his apprentices grew stronger, and that other sith group came too. The order really needs a leader now, for years, we were just twenty individual academy, but in times like this…"

Trahve: "I know that that's not your subjective answer Draco, so quit it" she grumbles, making Draco laugh.

Draco: "Yeah, you know me too well" grinning, he finished his steak.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your ship will depart tomorrow morning" a strict voice of a woman could be heard in a room. She was looking out the window of the academy, watching a group of padawan train in the yard. Draco stood behind her, he had an unusually serious expression on his face. The woman turned around, she was a grey-blue furred cathar woman. Her face was a bit cat-like, her whole body covered with short fur.

Draco: "Understood, but I still don't think two generals are enough against the twins" he liked wars, but this general wasn't dumb. Draco knew perfectly that the twins, who were Darth Edax's apprentices, are stronger than them. The cathar woman, named Divina purred angrily like an irritated cat.

Divina: "You two are the strongest generals, it wont make any difference is others go too" she growled.

Draco: "It would make a great difference and you know it master. Maybe if a grand master or two came…"

Divina: "They have their own things to do, and follow my order"

Draco: "Of course, I follow your order, right into the death" his serious expression changed slightly to a sarcastic smile, the woman hissed and turned around.

Divina: "Your father would be proud of you……" she hissed sarcastically, Draco gave her a wide grin, then he bowed, turned around and went out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks later on Hoth, two army stood in the snowstorm. Two great army, on top of two mountain, only a valley was between them, the distance wasn't that great, so Draco and Trahve could see the front lines of the enemy. The apprentices of Darth Edax, also known as the Twins, were cruel sith lords, who united, which was never heard of in the history. Sith siblings forming an alliance is frightening, but also uniting with the most wanted space pirate and merchant organization of the galaxy made them look unbeatable. The snowstorm calmed down a bit, so the armies could see each other more clearly. Trahve felt a bit uneasy, the sheer number of the enemy was enough to make a jedi general scared.

Trahve: "Are you still excited about this?" she asked, looking at her fellow general.

Draco: "Of course" with a wide grin, he activated his sword "This will be the best battle of my life"

Trahve: "Or your last…"

Draco: "Usually, when someone dies in battle, its his best battle, isn't it? Because he was finally beaten" he grinned, this made Trahve more uneasy.

Trahve: "You speak like you don't care if you die here…" Draco shrugged "Are you serious?"

Draco: "I'm always serious" he lifted his saber upwards, it was the sign for the start. The war began, and as the two armies ran towards the valley, the wind started to blow again.

Many lives was taken away by the war, and its still not over. The weak ones were easily taken out by the force users on both side, and many force user was killed by the higher ranked ones. The two general always fought together in war, Draco knows how to dominate great amount of people with his destimulating powers. Force powers that are like curses, they infect the crowd and make them weak. A dark side force-power, and he knows them well, he was practicing this for years to make great effort in this kind of war. Trahve knows about this, and while the enemy is slowed down by the curses, she can quickly kill them without having any problem. Teamwork is essential for winning, she could not fight with the crowd being stronger, and he wasn't good in fighting with many people at once. But the enemy was the same… the twins were a good team, massacring the jedi army like if they were bugs, and after they got tired of the jedi generals teamwork, they made their move…

In the heat of battle, something suddenly crashed down from the sky next to Draco, making the zabrak girl drift hundreds of meters backwards. Trahve was shocked, so was Draco when he saw what crashed down next to him.

A small crater formed besides the general by the force of the landing. Slowly, a woman's figure came out of the crater, she was human, has blood red hair, black sith robe, and a crimson red lightsaber. Her expression was frightening, this sith had the same grin as Draco, but it was an evil grin, she also enjoyed the battle, but this woman enjoyed the slaughter, the massacre, the blood, and she couldn't wait to finish off the two jedi. She was Darth Eval, one of the twin siblings, as soon as Draco snapped out of the shock of seeing someone this strong, he attacked, but the woman easily blocked the blade, slammed the general backwards with one hand, then turned to Trahve, who was running towards her.

Eval: "Why are you so scared?" she grins evilly, blocking Trahves slash. Draco stood up and was ready to attack, but then he saw an other sith coming in their direction. He had also blood red hair, but didn't have a lightsaber. He was floating, the force was too strong in him for Draco to calculate his chances against him, it was certainly zero percent… "You are late Adrivus…" Eval said, looking at her brother with a wide, excited grin.

Adrivus: "You were too fast, as always… leave one for me too" his voice was calm, and he was smiling like he wasn't in the middle of a war.

Eval: "Ok, but I take the zabrak, I like her attitude" she grinned, then ran to Trahve with speed that even the zabrak couldn't follow, their sabers collided, the sheer force of Evals slash made Trahve fly backwards again, and when she landed, the sith woman was already there, kicking her in the stomach, playing with her like she was some ball. Trahve fell to the ground, she tried to stand up. "Let me help you stand up…" the woman said, then with an evil laugh, she kicked the shocked general in the chin, sending her flying again.

Meanwhile, Draco was avoiding force blasts from Adrivus. He enjoyed the fight, even though he had no chance, he always had the same grin. Adrivus didn't understand why, but he didn't really care. The sith charged a lightning in his palm, then with a force-push, he formed a great, sparking globe, that flew at the general. Draco knew he couldn't avoid it, it was too big, so he took it, while increasing his endurance and force resistance, but it wasn't enough, he flew backwards as the great sparking globe exploded.

Minutes have passed, there were only few people fighting in the valley, the storm grew even more stronger. The twins, who were playing with their enemy until now, became more serious, it was time to end this. Draco, who was totally exhausted, stood with shaking knees. They didn't shook because he was scared, he was excited, he didn't have a fight like this in his whole life, where he couldn't even hurt his enemy once, but suddenly something tore into his soul, his expression changed as he saw Trahves blood-covered corpse crash next to him. She had many scars, non-lethal stabs, that means her enemy was mostly playing around with her. The zabraks eye were open, the expression of fear froze in those eyes… Draco tried to turn his eye away from the corpse, and when he finally did, he saw Eval in front of him. The woman grinned, and slammed her sword towards the exhausted general.

Draco could block it… but could not stand any longer, he finally fell down to his back, a calm grin started to form on his face.

Eval: "Why are you smiling?" she stomped on Dracos chest, making his lungs hurt like hell, Draco cought blood.

Draco: "It was… A good battle…" he glared at Adrivus, ignoring Eval, who angrily stomped on his lungs again. That made the general shout in pain, but after regaining some willpower, he grinned. "Maybe… if we meet again somehow… I will win" he coughed again. This made Eval laugh.

Adrivus: "You were good, jedi, but not good enough" he smiled, while watching Eval stab Draco in the hearth.

Eval: "Rest in peace" she said with an evil voice. The generals eyes widened, he still had that grin on his face, but his eyes shoved fear, no one wants to experience death, even if they don't have an other choice.

Adrivus: "Stealing my enemy again Eval, that was mean" he smiled, and looked around the battlefield, there was nothing but the dead bodies of the jedi army…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A soft, kind voice of a woman could be heard in the darkness of the world between this and the next…

"In darkness, there is always a path to the light,

You wont reach it, no matter how hard you fight…

But I will guide you, hold your hands,

And give this lost soul… one more chance"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was night time in Coruscant… weeks after the great war on Hoth, a babys crying voice echoed through the hospital room. A medical droid held a newborn baby in its hands, then turned its head towards the woman who laid on the bed. The droid gave the newborn to the woman, who embraced the baby.

Droid: "He's a boy"

Authors note: I hope you liked it. The prologue was a bit long, I don't think the chapters will be like this. It was fun to write. If you find typos, grammatical errors, please e-mail me and I correct them

I really hope its interesting, the prologue left a lot of unanswered questions, they will be answered though the story. I think it was a bit action-packed, I like this style, but the other chapters wont have this kind of intense battle for a while.

Maybe my dialogue is unusual for you guys, but I like it. If you put the characters name first, you can already know who speaks, and you can imagine his/her voice, so when you read the dialogue, you can imagine the voices too in your head, so it will be like a fluent conversation. I hope I explained it correctly…

Other Note: I know that Star Wars already has a timeline and story after Luke and the events of SW VI. Just imagine this is an alternate world ok?

The characters belong to CaRNaGe, with the exception of Draco and Pendrago
