Just kidding! Enjoy Chapter Two.


Chapter Two: Right, now on to the actual story

Now, when a fellow Jedi enters a room, most Jedi would bow to them in greeting, especially to a Master, or in this case a Grand Master, even more important. However the two brothers were so caught up in their duel that they had no idea anyone was there, let alone the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, so they just carried on. Neither was prepared to stop until they had bested the other.

But as their fight moved around the room, Cadell caught sight of Master Yoda and Master Zane by the door. Upon seeing them he stopped mid duel as Magnus brought his lightsaber round his right side in a heavy swing, aiming to hit Cadell on the left shoulder. Seeing that Cadell had hesitated, without even thinking he redirected his swing and caught Cadell's hand, disarming him. Magnus then brought his lightsaber back round, did a bunch of cool spins with it, and then swung it and slashed his brother across the chest.

Now try to imagine all of that in one swift, fast flowing motion. It was a pretty spectacular move. It wasn't exactly necessary. He could have just hit Cadell on the shoulder and he would have won anyway, but that wouldn't have been as fun, or as cool.

Also I forgot to mention that, like the training remote, the lightsabers are set to a low power mode for practice, which is lucky for us because it means Cadell isn't actually dead, so don't panic, he just got a slight shock, literally.

Magnus then broke out into a celebration, which mostly consisted of cheering and doing more lightsaber spins. However this was all cut short when he finally realised what caused Cadell to hesitate.

Upon seeing Yoda and Master Zane, he let out a short but strange noise which sounded somewhere between a scream and a hiccup. More like a hiccup actually, a loud hiccup that went from low to high in less than a second.

Cadell just stood there and watched all this happen with amusement, waiting for his brother to settle down. When they finally did they both turned and bowed to the two masters who then returned the greeting.

Because Magnus was still in a bit of shock and slightly embarrassed, Cadell was first to speak.

"Master Yoda, Master Zane, a pleasure as always".

Not fully thinking, Magnus just said the first few words that came to his head.

"Yeah…. Hi…. what he said" gesturing to his brother.

Yoda just smiled and said "most impressive, that was. However, overconfident you must not become, or provide an opening for your opponent you will".

"Yes master", they both replied.

Magnus had finally recovered and gained focus, and was now able to form a proper sentence.

"So, what brings you here to witness me beat my bro for the tenth time this week?-"

"-Ninth time-"

"-Ok whatever ninth time-"

Cadell elbowed him slightly, although Magnus wasn't sure whether it was in retaliation or to signal that he should be more respectful in what he was saying.

Master Zane luckily didn't seem to notice anything, instead she just answered the question normally.

"The council and I have been discussing both of your performances over the past few years and the current situation going on right now with the separatists. Despite our best efforts and as much as it pains us, we believe that war is inevitable, sooner or later. With your battle skills, strategic knowledge and Jedi abilities, we think that with the right guidance and training, you could be invaluable against the separatists."

The two brothers said nothing. They didn't really know what to say at this point.

Yoda then took over.

"That is why, promote you from initiate to padawan, we will, and under my instruction, you will be."

Magnus asked "is that 'you will be' as in - we don't have a choice in this?" It was a bit of an accusing question but at the same time, there were a few things Magnus wasn't sure about.

"Trouble you, this does?"

Cadell looked round at him with a face as if to say 'well go on then'. So he continued.

"I was just thinking that if we were to be trained in military leadership, it should be by someone who has had experience in that area."

Master Zane took this one.

"You already have the skills and training you need to lead an army, you have given that to yourselves, but you are still young, and you may only be padawans when the war begins, assuming it does. All you need is someone to keep track of you and be there to make sure you are doing the right thing with this role. And admittedly, we don't actually have anyone else to do that."

Magnus thought about this for a second;

"Ok, well first of all fair enough that makes sense, but the other problem is we don't have an army to lead. The military creation act hasn't been passed through by the senate."

Master Zane reassured him.

"Yes but it is very likely to, and if it does, and Chancellor Palpatine creates an army, then he will need leaders, and that's where you two come in."

Cadell then asked "Masters, we are Jedi, this goes against one of the main rules we must follow. I understand your reasons and I'm definitely ok with it but are you? Is the situation that serious?"

"Afraid it is, I am" Master Yoda replied. "Our best hope, you two are".

"Sounds good for us! Right Cadell?" Magnus was starting to get excited.

"Definitely" Cadell said, but much calmer than his brother.

"So would we actually be your apprentices, Master Yoda? Is that even allowed?"

"We believe the bond you share brings you so close to one another, and makes you so much like each other, that there isn't any difference in the teaching methods required for you. What one of you learns, the other learns exactly the same. So yes, you would be his apprentices" Master Zane explained.

"Ok then" said Magnus, "great." He then realised something.

"Hang on, what does that mean in terms of the rest of our group? Will we still see them?"

Jedi younglings live together within their groups (In this case Magnus and Cadell are in a group of 17, led by Master Mavra Zane). Each one has their own individual room, but their dormitories are all located in the same area of the Jedi Temple, and the initiates spend a lot of time with each other there, as well as sharing the same classes. This means they grow a strong bond and friendship with one another and Magnus wasn't sure he liked the idea of leaving them so suddenly.

Although on the other hand, telling people that they were going to be trained by Grand Master Yoda would look pretty impressive in front of the others, and perhaps he could make a big exit. Maybe he'd attract the attention of Agmena Aladfar, a female Twi'lek in his group for whom he had developed feelings, despite the Jedi code. Maybe when they tell them he might get a dramatic hug from her or something. If only life was that simple.

Anyway, back to the story.

"Relocated within the Jedi Temple you will be, however see them during free time you may. Though try not to get too attached you must".

"Yeah ok, I guess that's fine". Looks like it's not much of an exit then, Magnus thought to himself.

"We will give you two some time to get ready and say goodbye to your clanmates. Then once you are ready, we will show you to your new quarters, you will be made Jedi padawans, and may the force be with you", Master Zane finished with an encouraging smile.

"Yes Master", said both Magnus and Cadell, trying hard not to grin. It was a dream come true for both of them.

With that, the two masters bowed and exited the room.

Magnus and Cadell followed suit and left to go tell the rest of their group the news.
