Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riordan or George Lucas.

Enter Luke, Jaina (with her personal energy shield), and Kyp, in the Jedi Praxeum.

Luke. By now, I am seriously ready to beat the Witches at bolo-ball. It's going to be a small game: only thirteen Witches, including Ahsoka Tano, and about the same number of Jedi.

Enter the Witches of Dathomir (among them Akanah and Ahsoka), who huddle, looking distressed.

Akanah glares up at Yoda.

Enter the Jedi team: the children of Yun-Ne'Shel (Ganner, Kenth Hamner, and Daesha'racor), the children of Yun-Yammka (Tesar, Bela, and Krasov Hara), the children of Yun-Shuno (Davin and Chak Fel), and the children of Yun-Q'aah (Seha Dorvald, Erisi Dlarit, and Miko Reglia)

Seha. [angry] I'll show them "love is worthless." I'll pulverize them.

Jaina. [to Luke] I'll take the offense. You take defense.

Luke. Oh. [hesitates] Don't you think with your shield and all, you'd be better defense?

Jaina. Well, I was thinking it would make better offense. Besides, you've had more practice at defense.

Luke. [untruthful] Yes. No problem.

Jaina. Good.

Kyp runs over to Luke.

Kyp. Luke. This is astral. [activates his lightsaber] Do we get to kill the other team?

Luke. Well, no.

Kyp. But the Witches are immortal, right?

Luke. That's only if they don't fall in battle. Besides . . .

Kyp. It would be astral if we just resurrected as soon as we were killed, so we could keep fighting. And . . .

Luke. Kyp. This is serious. Real weapons. These can hurt.

Kyp stares, disappointed.

Luke pats Kyp on the shoulder.

Hey, it's all right. Just follow the team. Stay out of Akanah way. This is where the fun begins.

Yoda pounds his gimer stick.

Yoda. Jedi. You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line. The Jedi Knights shall take the west woods. The Witches of Dathomir shall take the east woods. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. No intentional maiming, please. All Force-sensitive artifacts are allowed. To your positions.

Kyp. Lubed. What kind of Force-sensitive artifacts? Do I get one?

Jaina. Blue team. Follow me.

The Jedi cheer and follow Jaina; Luke hurries to catch up.

Luke. [aside] We've set our flag at the top of the Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster. It is a good place to set the flag. The Temple is twenty feet high and difficult to climb. So, the flag is clearly visible, like the rules say it has to be. And it doesn't matter that the guards aren't allowed to stand within ten yards of it.

Kyp stands guard, alongside Ganner and the Fels.

Jaina. We'll send out a decoy to the left. [to Seha] Seha. You lead that.

Seha. Got it.

Jaina. Take Erisi and Miko. They're good runners. Make a wide arc around the Witches, attract as many as you can. I'll take the main raiding party around to the right and catch them by surprise.

The Jedi nod.

Anything to add, Luke?

Luke. Er, yes. Keep sharp on defense. We've got four guards, two scouts. That's not much for a big forest. I'll be roving. Yell if you need help.

Jaina. And don't leave your post.

Luke. Unless you see a golden opportunity.

Jaina. [scowls] Just don't leave your post.

Luke. Right. Unless

Jaina. Luke.

Jaina shocks Luke with the Force.

[untruthful] Sorry. [to the Jedi] Now, is everybody clear?

The Jedi nod.

Exit Seha (with Erisi and Miko) and Jaina (with Hamner, Daesha'racor, and the Barabels).

Luke climbs the Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster to keep watch.

Luke spots Seha's team, leading off five Witches. However, a few other Dathomiri chase after Jaina.

Kyp. What's happening?

Luke. [aside] Jaina will never get through. But the Witches are divided. With that many on either flank, their center has to be wide open. If I move fast . . . [to Ganner] Can you guys hold the fort?

Ganner. [snorts] Of course.

Luke. I'm going in.

Kyp and the Fels cheer.

Luke runs at top speed, leaping over the creek into Dathomiri territory.

Enter Ahsoka, who keeps guards the Witches' flag.

Luke knocks Ahsoka to the ground.

Sorry.

Luke snatches the flag and scurries away.

Exit Ahsoka.

Luke is ten yards away by now.

Ahsoka's Voice. Help. He's got the flag.

One of the Witches fires her harpoon and tow cable, tripping Luke.

Enter Jaina.

Jaina. Luke. What are you doing?

One of the Witches fires a stink capsule at Jaina's feet.

No fair. Stink capsules. are unsportsmanlike.

Luke gets up and starts running again, dodging past arrows as he moves.

Enter Sanola Ti, who slashes at Luke with her vibroblade.

Luke parries Sanola's strike with his lightsaber and continues running.

Enter Kyp and Ganner, chasing after Akanah, who has captured the Jedi's flag.

Luke. No.

Luke picks up speed.

Akanah slams into Luke, knocking him to the ground.

The Witches cheer as Akanah returns to her own side.

Yoda arrives with the Fels, who have been incapacitated by Kirana Ti.

Yoda. [displeased] The Witches win. [aside] For the fifty-sixth time in a row.

Jaina advances on Luke, armed with her personal energy shield.

Jaina. Luke Skywalker. What in the name of the Force were you thinking?

Luke rises and balls his fists.

Luke. [angry] I got the flag, Jaina. I saw a chance, and I took it.

Jaina. I was at their base! But the flag was gone. If you hadn't cut in, we would have won.

Luke. You had too many on you.

Jaina. Oh, so it's my fault?

Luke. I didn't say that.

Jaina. O!

Jaina Force-shoves Luke into the creek.

The Jedi laugh.

Jaina pales.

Sorry. I didn't mean to . . .

Luke reaches into the Force and blasts Jaina back with a wave of water.

Luke. [rising] Yes. I didn't mean to, either.

Yoda. Enough.

Jaina activates her lightsaber.

Jaina. You want some, Farmboy?

Luke raises his lightsaber.

Luke. Bring it on, Sword of the Jedi.

Jaina yells and blasts Luke backward with a wave of Force lightning.

Yoda. Jaina. That is enough.

Luke rises to his feet and, reaching into the Force, he sends a Force whirlwind her way.

Luke.

Enter the Prophet of Yavin.

Stunned, Luke loses concentration and the whirlwind dissipates.

Jedi and Witches alike gasp.

This is impossible. It . . . she has never left the attic. Never.

The Prophet steps forward.

Prophet. I am the spirit of Massassi, speaker of the prophecies of Yavin Vassilika, slayer of the mighty Naga Sadow.

The Prophet regards Luke, then turns toward Akanah.

Approach, seeker, and ask.

Akanah swallows.

Akanah. What must I do to help my goddess?

The Prophet assumes the form of Dathomir, in chains.

Prophet. Five shall go Rimward to the Je'daii in chains. One shall be lost on the world without rain. The bane of Tython shows the trail. Jedi and Dathomiri combined prevail. The Sith's curse must one withstand. And one shall perish by a parent's hand.

Exit all.
