The Goddess of Light

by Arrowsforever

One day, while deep in meditation, Jedi master Shaak Ti senses a desperate call for help through the force. Following the call far from home, she finds herself millions of light years away from the known galaxy, looking down on a planet of darkness and filth. The distress call came from there.

2. Chap 2 ST

A/N: This is a very short chapter. Sorry about that.

As I watched my apprentice take the lightsaber into her hands, I knew that the standard model would not be enough for her. She swung it a few times experimentally before extending the blade. I flipped the switch on the trained bot. She looked at it strangely, and then turned to me.

"Am I supposed to destroy it?"

"No, it will shoot at you. You need to deflect the blast bolts with the blade."

"Okay, Master." The first bolt fired. She clearly wasn't paying attention, but she spun around shockingly fast and deflected it. I was impressed, and said so. She seemed very pleased at this praise, and worked even harder. I watched her spin and raise the lightsaber to deflect bolts, duck under a bolt, and then raise the saber again. Yes, Shanti was my apprentice. I hadn't stopped asking the council until Master Yoda agreed to test her. Despite her age, Master Windu had been shocked at the sheer power of the force within her. I could bring him an excellent report when it came to fighting skills as well. Not a single blaster bolt hit her. I had seen her fencing with sticks back on Maix a few times, but it had not occurred to me that skills like that could be used with a lightsaber.

"Um, Master?"

"Yes, Shanti?"

"I was wondering…could I try it with two?"

"Two what? Two shooting bots, or two lightsabers?" her face colored a little.

"Um…both." I pulled out another training bot, and another lightsaber.

"Try it, and see." She opened the blade for both lightsabers, one green and one blue. She spun them in her hands, getting the feeling of them. I turned on one bot, then the other. Red blaster bolts flew, and a few got past and hit her skin. But she got the hang of it after a few minutes, and she was a whirl of green and blue lights. When the bots finally ran out of bolts to fire, she was exhausted. I hadn't given her a chance to rest once. I couldn't help but wonder if I had been too hard on her. But when she stood up, eyes shining and twin lightsabers sheathed once again, I decided that it was worth it.
