Thanks to Pheonix Skywalker for beta-reading, chapters 3-4 to be fixed next.
I seemed to be dreaming. I saw a giant beast that looked a rancor. I kept trying to run but I couldn't run a foot. I stared in horror at the Rancor thinking, "What a way to end life."
Then I saw my chance; three bars almost destroyed by blows from the rancor. I walked over to them, the rancor swinging its arm's at me.
I waited until it swung its left arm at me. I Jedi leapt at the last moment and looked up. There were about one hundred people laughing and giggling.
I found my lightsaber, but it would not ignite because it had been stepped on. I looked at the bars again; they were totally smashed from the last blow of the rancor. I Jedi leapt as the rancor slammed its hands together. I landed next to the hands and walked to the bars again. I suddenly felt as though I could run again, and I ran the rest of the way. I pulled myself through the bars, but about three hundred clones blocked my way, all waiting to get orders.
Then, out of nowhere, a huge slug dropped in my way, whipping out all the clones! The Hutt started to yell in Huttese. It seemed to be asking me to dinner. I refused but the Hutt sent two droid leaders with lightsabers to block my way of leaving. I seemed to smile and reached out my hand. But the force had left me.
Then, I heard a tap-tap, and I turned around. It was master Yoda; almost immediately I felt better. Yoda destroyed the Hutt and his friends. Then he said to me, "A warning, the force gives you. When this happens, careful you must be, very careful." I must have smiled because Yoda laughed, which is an extremely rare thing. "Count not on your self," Yoda said, "but on your surroundings. These things you must learn to become a Jedi knight." Yoda fell down and nodded as if going to sleep. I ran over and held him up.
Yoda said in a weak voice, "Dagobah, that which is the clue, Dooku," then he died. I wandered for three days thinking about what he had said. I found my ship, a day later then planned in a taxi house. With my ship I left for Coruscant to tell the Jedi council about Yoda, but during the flight… …I woke up…
When I awoke I was in a chair with energy binders. I felt a tremor in the Force, quite strong, and on top of that, I felt, well, I didn't know what to feel. I decided I just felt strange. I tried to think of something else, and then I thought up what to think of. Why should they let me live? This was not ordinary; they usually slaughtered or executed Jedi. I thought they might be doing just that.
A droid walked in and in a mechanical voice said, "You are to answer any questions that you are asked." I only gave him a smirk as if to say, "Yeah right."
The droid continued with a question, "Where are the clones under your command?"
"Think I gonna tell you, you little piece of space junk?"
"You will tell, and we'll use whatever we need to make it happen." the droid replied. Behind him came six battle droids, blasters outward.
"Easy as force training," I smiled at the thought and reached out my hand. Six blasters fell to the ground, another landed in my hand. I blasted a control box at the back of the room.
My binders turned off and I leapt I into the air. I did a back flip, landing gracefully. I blasted the droids into what looked like millions pieces. I ran for the door at the other end and almost ran into three battle-droids. I backed up and looked around. My lightsaber was in the dead droid leaders hand.
I picked it up and checked it over methodically. Then I ignited it. The green blade shimmered, spreading a green glow over the room. I listened closely; what I heard was a stampede of thundering droids and the whirr of machinery. I waved my lightsaber and leapt out to face two droids with blasters outward. I was attacked with a strong, powerful blast. I blocked the blast with a swing of my lightsaber. The droids dropped in a pile. I carefully crept around the corner.
There, I saw millions of droids being created, one at a time, droid creating droid. Then I saw, at the far back, a large control center with droids where working quickly to set orders and relay them to their men on the planet. Quickly, I dashed through the area. I had to bypass at least three droidekas.
Then I heard it, the shrill sound of an alarm, blaring through the ship. I saw the droidekas respond, their shields coming down and turning into a wheel. They rushed toward where my cell was. Then I was faced with a choice: I could slash the droids as they passed or I could just let them pass.
Unfortunately, I chose the former. I waited until the droids were an arms length away before slashing all three with a twitch of my arm. The droids exploded, BANG, BANG, BANG. I stepped out and saw the assembly line had stopped.
I watched as the droids who were finished activated march to face me. I dodged the first blast hearing clanking from what felt like everywhere. CLANK, CLANK. I turned to see super droids coming from behind. I thought, "This was a big mistake." I completed a lightsaber throw and a two-one force move. Then I felt my self calming down, way down. The assembly line began rolling again. Very slowly, droids were created and then marched out to face me.
I grew calmer and calmer and then, as if by magic, a small glimmer of light appeared. I looked toward the window; it was blank. The light grew and soon, I felt control over time and all of the force.
I waved my hand; droids hit each other and banged to the floor. I realized what my master had meant by the 'power of the force'. I felt in control of every living thing in the whole building. Even more, I realized I had achieved to be one with the Force, a power so great and so rarely possible. I was awed by my own strength. I waved my hand again the room shook.
I the stared into the room. The droids fell around me, deactivated. I felt a tightness in my chest and the light faded, the droids were deactivated, the assembly line destroyed, and the room was in disorder. I walked on feeling surprised. I knew that it was unlikely that it would happen again.
I leapt into a control office the lights were still blinking red but the alarm was off. I saw three or four droids here and there. The room showed every part of the ship. This was the room where the controls were stored. I crept in, the droids did not notice, and then by accident I stepped on the circle of a transmission set.
A figure appeared, "Grievous, soon we will be rulers of the galaxy I, wait… (pause) …Mace Wind… (pause) …Am the senate…," the figure disappeared and the message ended. I shut the decoder. I knew that voice!…
(WARP) "…Timothy you know that the fate of our galaxy hangs on us Jedi," Malcolm said through the com, "We can't just give up on the Chancellor!"
"Master," I replied dodging a Vulture Droid, "I know that you can but, whooooo! But, you can't do it by yourself."
"I know," he said, "That is why I need your… I'm hit, I'm hit! I'm hi…" BOOM! The comlink crackled and then died. I felt a terrible pain in my chest. My master was gone; I looked out the view-port and saw his fighter shattered. I was almost dead when I saw that.
Then my com crackled "Timothy we have the Chancellor rescued. Report with your master to docking bay three-o-nine," the voice of Anakin Skywalker boomed. "Rodger" I said without much enthusiasm. My comm crackled again and the Chancellor spoke. "Well done…"(WARP)
It was Palatine, but, how was that possible? Our leader was our enemy? I suddenly felt that pain I felt one year ago. I knew that it was impossible to get my master back.
But, this was more then I could handle. I would need help. I thought it impossible that a person my master believed in was an enemy. I looked away. The memory still in my head. Now, I turned around and saw my master standing there. "Master," I managed to say. Then the blue figure disappeared. I wished I could talk to Yoda, wise, wise Yoda. Then I realized I was in a droid control ship. I put the decoder in my secret robe pocket and walked slowly into the cockpit. I saw three droids giving orders.
Slowly, I crept up behind them. They swung around and blasted, I did not have my lightsaber ignited. Quickly I ignited it, dodging the first blast. More droids poured into the room. Now that I had my lightsaber it was easy to destroy the droids. Leaping, I jumped and plunged my lightsaber into the control panel, the droids reacted blasting away at me.
I suddenly realized that I had destroyed the wrong controls and now the ship was plunging toward the planet. I grabbed and pulled the remaining controls this way and that and finally steadied the ship. Now the droids faced me again and I leapt up and back flipped off of a near wall. I spun and cut off the droids heads in a blink of an eye.
Now I felt that I had to get out of here, and fast. I sped down the hall, running faster than I ever had before. The room I had just left was filled with battle droids and droidekas. I passed slowly, attracting no apparent notice. I found in the next hall something that I was in dire need of: escape pods. Only one was left open. I leapt into it and hoped for the best...
