Chapter 2: Training with the grand master
Date 19bby-9bby
"Arrived we have." Said Yoda. I looked around. "This place is nothing but a slimy mud hole!" I shouted.
"Get used to it you must our home this is now." Yoda replied. I sighed. "well what now?" I asked. "Build a hut we shall our house it will be. And a good force training opportunity it is." Yoda said. "How so?" I asked. "Use the force you must to gather materials for our makeshift home." Yoda said. "Yes master" I obeyed. Being slightly older than most younglings I was able to lift a few small things on my own with the force but most of the larger things Yoda had to help me with. As the days past we made good progress on our little hut. Yoda also told me ways of lifting objects larger than me, he said to picture them smaller then me it worked a little but most things I couldn't move more the a few inches of the ground. A few months passed and the hut was completed and I had progressed in my training a little. Yoda told me we will go at a steady pace in my training. "Pick up where your old master left off we will" Yoda said.
Two years later:
"You must feel the force around you young Sam, let it flow through you" Yoda said. As I sat in my meditative state I could feel extreme focus in the force. "Good Sam, use the force to guide you. During meditation is when a Jedi is strongest in with the force" said Yoda. "I can feel it master." I said. "Speak you must not focus you must stay." Said Yoda. As I meditated I could see what is happening around the galaxy. I saw other Jedi being on the run and being hunted by the Empire and the Sith lord Darth Vader. I gasped as I suddenly came out of my meditative state. The several rocks that were lifted up from my meditating all fell down." You saw things didn't you?" Asked, Yoda. "I saw Jedi being killed by Darth Vader, I swear master I will kill the Emperor and Vader as soon as I am done with my training." I exclaimed. Swear vengeance you must not, the Jedi way it is not." Yoda responded. "But what other way is there? If we leave them alive it will come back to haunt us. I know killing isn't the Jedi way but is there another option?" I asked. Yoda stood there in deep thought.
Three years later:
At 18 years old I started to feel myself grow stronger in the force. Yoda said I was making good progress. But I knew I had a long way to go from becoming a Jedi Knight. As the years passed I started to think of a plan to fight the Empire. As I got ready for the next day of training Yoda came and told me of my test for the day." A dangerous task you will face today." Said Yoda. "But there's nothing dangerous on this planet it's just a swamp." I said. "Ready I think you are" Yoda responded. "Nearby a cave there is, strong the cave is with the dark side. A domain of it is. In must go." What's in there?" I asked." Only what you take with you" Yoda replied. I slowly entered the cave I could feel the dark side coming from the cave. I felt woozy. I knew the dark side was trying to enter my mind. Suddenly, I saw Darth Vader and myself and in a lightsaber duel. Then the vision changed to what looked like a large battle, but I couldn't tell what planet it was on. I also saw a woman wielding two light sabers standing next to what looked like a Whipihd. Next I saw Plapatine and I in a one on one duel. The woman I saw looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then visions seemed to stop so I left the cave. Yoda was waiting for me." Master I think I saw things that will be important in the future." I told him." Saw the future you did. Change it may however, always in motion is the future." Yoda said.
Five Years latter:
I pressed the ignition button and prayed the lightsaber wouldn't blow up in my hands. I heard a hiss and a hum. My new lightsaber was working! I ran back to the hut to tell Yoda. "Master my saber is working!" I yelled. "Well done Sam, and on the first try as well." Said Yoda. "Time I think it is." "You mean?" I started to say. "Yes Sam come the time has for you to become a Jedi knight" Said Yoda. I was thrilled but I tried not to show it. I kneeled down as Yoda took out his Lightsaber. "By the will of the Force dub thee I do" Yoda said as he proceeded to cut off my Padawan braid. "Jedi Knight."
