Star Wars: Episode II
Disclaimer: I own nothing here, George Lucas owns all. I am merely a mortal playing in
his universe.
Chapter I: The Serpent in the Garden
The temple was unusually quiet for the afternoon, no lightsaber duels, no young padawans
enjoying time off, Nothing. The council was gathered in the circular room discussing the events of recent
days. A small green looking troll turned to his comrades-in-arms. "Most distressing this is, the loss of a
Jedi master. Missed will Qui-Gon Jinn be." A broad shouldered, ebony skinned man answered: "Yes he
shall but what distresses me is young Skywalker. Will he be able to bear the burden of shedding his fear
and anger to become a true Jedi Knight?" "I believe we are gravely mistaken about the prophecy which
Master Jinn believed the boy fulfilled. I believe he will bring balance to the Force but what if WE are the
side that need to be brought under to achieve that balance.", replied an exotic looking woman. "Clouded
the boy's future is, Possible a great Knight he may be, possible our downfall he may be" The green troll
replied shaking his head. Ki-Adi-Mundi "I believe Skywalker needs us in this time, his power is great,
uncontrolled he would be a worse threat. The day of mourning is over, we must resume our training."
As the council each walked to their respective classes, one thought dominated their minds: "What
if we made a mistake with Skywalker? What if he will bring us to ruin?" Mace Windu went to his
lightsaber class and upon seeing Skywalker there, his eyes in deep attention at everything Mace had to
say, reflected "Perhaps he can be taught the lightside, perhaps he can be a great Knight."
Yoda, having retired to his chambers for mediation, began to ponder: "Clouded the future is
around all not just Skywalker. Fearful I am that the Jedi will fall. " As he walked around his room thinking
he never noticed the intrusion into his thoughts by another Jedi Master called Dooku.
Dooku, a strong Jedi wise in the ways of the Force and in politics, gave an evil grin as he muttered
to himself: "Perfect with the fools so focused on Skywalker they will never notice my rise to power.
Siddious has trained me well and I am now in complete control of the Darkside. Soon the Jedi will fall and
I will rule." At that Dooku felt his master's presence speaking to him in his mind: "Don't you mean We
will rule my apprentice?" Dooku, startled, quickly replied: "Of course my master I meant no disrespect."
The fear was quite evident in his mental speakings. "Ambition is an admirable trait my Apprentice but
uncontrolled it can only do YOU harm." The connection was broken then. "The old fool " , thought
Dooku, "Soon I will have enough power to rule on my own and my "dear" master will be no more than a
memory." Little did Dooku know that Siddious was still monitoring his thoughts and from his quarters
high in the sky above Coruscant, Siddious' face twisted to an evil grin. "Yes he will do nicely until my
true apprentice is ready." Siddious was staring at a picture of Anakin Skywalker
Chapter 2: Training
Anakin was growing frustrated, the remotes had stung him five times and each time it was like
someone cut into his soul. "Have to concentrate, can't think about Mom, can't think about anything but
the Force." At that Anakin turned off his saber and the remotes went back to their places on the shelf.
"Anakin!!!" Obi –Wan thundered, "You still have two more hours of lightsaber practice! What is wrong?"
Seein the hurt look in the young boy's face, Kenobi softened his tone. "Ani, is it about your mother again?
I know you miss her but you must believe she is all right and wants this for you as much you want to be a
Jedi yourself." "I know master, I just miss her so very much." "Ani you will see her again I promise. Have
I ever broken my word to you before?" Kenobi smiled at his young apprentice and ruffles his hair "Come
on, I think we could both use a break from remotes and training? How about we watch the Pod Races on
the holonet?" Anakin's face lit up like the skyline. "Really? Wizard!!!!" As the two left the area talking of
many things they failed to notice the small camera in one of the remotes. Siddious watching still had the
same evil grin. "Excellent he is quick to be distracted and quick to be turned. His mother is his weakness
as his infatuation with the little queen….."
