As I walk through the halls to get to the security beacon, I use the Force to cloak my presence, from the Clones. When I reach the beacon, I use the Force to change it to an old code. Code 99. The Stay away from the Temple code. When the 'add a message' dialog pops up, I speak into the holo recorder.

"This is Jedi Master Shaak Ti, broadcasting from Coruscant, as the highest-level survivor on Coruscant, as far as I know. The Temple is under attack, and I'm afraid the clones have turned on us. I'm evacuating this Temple, and 'tracing our roots'. The Chancelor and Anakin are both Sith Lords, and extremely the Force be with you. Shaak Ti out." I walk back through the halls to the hanger bay, still cloaking my presence. I see the dead bodies in the halls of those who did not make it and smell the scent of burnt flesh of countless species. If I weren't a Jedi, I would certainly be crying.

In the hanger bay, I see the younglings and padawans in the ship, waiting for me. They lower the ramp and I jump up.

I walk into the cabin, taking a seat in one of the nerfhide leather chairs, and tell them, "We need to try to pick up all the people on the frontline defenses, at the entrances. I'll fly us." Padawan Haruss gets out of the pilot's seat, her small body a bit too small for the seat, and moves back to my old seat. We fly low over the right side entrance and shine our searchlights at the clone to blind them, while lowering the ramp to the defense line personnel. They jump on, and we then fly to the main entrance and repeat the same.

I block another strong blow from Darth Vader. There is no emotion, there is peace.

He tries to Force push me across the entrance to knock me out. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

Raging with fury on his face, he tries to send deadly blue Force lightning at me. There is no passion, there is serenity. I use my lightsabers to block the lightning, and try my best to deflect it, although the best I can do, due to my lack of practice, is make his robe and face have some small burns from my deflection of the lightning. I keep blocking the lightning and blaster bolts, hoping to hold him off long enough to allow all the other Jedi to evacuate. I plan on dying to ensure their survival, if needed, especially if I can take him with me. There is no chaos, there is harmony.

He then stops doing his Force lightning thing and starts relentlessly attacking me with his lightsaber. I use my mastery of Soresu to block his heavy blows. There is no death, there is the Force.

"You're not even a Jedi, you scum!", he yells. I ignore his taunting, which seems to be one of his many ways to make me get distracted and miss a blow.

I see the ship flying overhead and lowering the ramp. I use the Force to help get the younglings and padawans on, gently tossing them up onto the ramp, even as I keep fighting Vader.

Then he comes at me again, using his rage from his failure to stop me earlier to fuel the dark side. His vicious attacks are near impossible to block, and I'm tiring much more rapidly than he is.

Then I miss an attack. I can't quite block one of his devastating blows, and he destroys my left saber's emitter. My destroyed blade finds a spot on my belt. Now that I'm stuck with one blade, Vader unleashes Force lightning. I try my hardest to block it, but am struggling. My Soresu is not good enough with one blade, as I haven't practiced it for years. I remember Form Three's defense. Due to Vader's sheer skill, I don't think I'll get a chance to use any offensive moves, so there go my chance of using my Niman skills, no that those are much better.

I collapse after failing to block Vader's intense force lightning. Vader comes over to finish me off. I prepare to pass into the Force. I try my hardest to push him away, but fail. I know I will die. I can sense through the Force that I'm the last Jedi standing here. I didn't think the padawans, knights and senior younglings would last that long. There is no death, there is the Force. It fades to black…


Author's Notes: This is short, but if the Force wills it, there will be more. I'm still trying to write the next parts, and chapter 2 was going to be longer, but I ran out of time.
