Hmm, I wonder, should I continue with this guy at the Jedi Academy or not? Maybe I should do something else? Hmmm. Naw, as much as I want to torment you and not go back to the Jedi Temple for a few more chapters, I haven't figured out how to write my other ideas.
Sorry folks, chapter three for one massive disclaimer isn't out yet, I hope you're not too disappointed.
Author's Note: Myra and Mira are two different people. Myra was at the Jedi Academy most of her life, Mira is a new student.

The Chronicles of the New Jedi Knights: Trouble BrewingTrial by Fire
"Not since Exar Kun," said the raspy voice that seemed to penetrate to the core of their beings and filled them with fear, "has there been one who bore the title, 'Knight of the Dark Side', now there is another. Come Jedi, you must play with me," a red glow appeared around his blades and he motioned to the trainees sitting before him.
Kevin Palor was the first to leap from his chair and ignite his lightsaber. Fortunately most new students that had a lightsaber still carried it around with them to emphasize the fact that they had one. Two gold blade extended from Kevin's weapon and Nikki ignited her blue-gray blade. Anakin didn't have his lightsaber, but that didn't stop him from assuming a fighting stance and preparing for hand to hand combat. Rachel Key ignited a blue lightsaber and her sister Lara ignited two deep violet blades, one for each hand. The Jedi were lined up for battle.
Kevin led the attack, sweeping for his head, and Nikki struck at the Sith's legs. The Sith Knight blocked each attack with his curved blades, and kicked a charging Anakin in the face, hard. The boy stumbled back with blood pouring from his nose, and from the disfiguration of his face, one of his cheekbones had shattered. Rachel flipped a switch and her lightsaber blade doubled in length and the sisters joined the fray. The four trainees struck at their opponent again and again, but there were no blows landed. Students ran to their doors to see what was happening, and when they saw, those who possessed a lightsaber grabbed theirs and joined the melee. Seven more students joined the battle, this man was fighting eleven students at the same time and didn't take a scratch, but he did have to retreat to the outside. Kevin swung and the Sith jumped into the air and turned himself horizontal with the ground and kicked Kevin in the chest, and then he did the same to the others in his immediate vicinity, running in a circle off of the students. Mysh jumped in, but his attack ended when the dark knight kicked his knee out, just short of severing the chiss' shin. Alanna swung an upward attack simultaneously with Samantha Harpers downward strike. The man rolled to avoid the strikes and took a step closer to Samantha; his elbow imminently smashed her face. Alanna tried to attack him again, but a round kick to the side of her head with enough force to knock her to the ground ended that assault.
Mira tried to attack him, but he took her lightsaber from her and threw it into the jungle. After he left a gash in Raven's arm, he took Mira's consciousness. Raven valiantly switched her lightsaber from her left hand to her right when her left arm became useless. Her heroics was short lived, however, when the red glow disappeared from the Sith's blade and it folded backwards. He punched the girl and her feet didn't touch the ground for a full ten meters. The blade assumed it's original position and the glow returned. Faith Starfinder and Drake Nighthalk stood infront of the Sith without fear and attacked. Drake was a full Jedi and had a greater mastery of the force than most of the students. Both Jedi and trainee attacked at the same time, but Drake attacked both with the force, and his lightsaber. While blades of energy threatened to cleave the flesh of the Sith, a fist of Telekinesis connected with the knights jaw. "I can play that way too, Jedi," said the raspy voice.
Faith rushed the downed Sith in hopes of defeating him, but she found herself suspended in midair, and every time she used the force, a counter effort overwhelmed her, so she could do nothing. Drake was not so lucky. The Sith rose from where he fell, still straight, not pushing himself up, just rising. Suddenly Drake doubled over and dropped his lightsaber so he could clutch his stomach in pain. There was a resounding snap as Drake was knocked to the side by an invisible blow to the head. The brave Jedi rose again only to be struck again, this time he coughed up blood. "SITH!" a voice shouted.
The dark knight turned and saw his four original opponents, Kevin Palor, Nikki Kenobi, Rachel Key, and Lara Key, standing there, lightsabers ignited, the very picture of unity and defiance. "YOU STILL HAVE ENEMIES THAT CAN FIGHT LEFT!" boomed the voice of Palor. The force that suspended Faith dropped her and released Drake, but he was no longer in any condition for anything. Faith charged her opponent, but a back kick to the face caused her to lose consciousness.
"Pitiful Jedi, I had thought that you could do better than this," said the raspy voice.
"You want to see better?" asked a calm voice. A light blue blade appeared in the shadows, "Then see this," a white beam of light launched from the shadows and connected with the Sith's torso.
The warrior showed little sign of it, but it was obvious that he was damaged. Galen emerged from the shadows. "I will rid the galaxy of your kind of evil, and you are first on my list."
Galen rushed at the Knight of the Dark Side and both moved fast enough that they left several afterimages with every movement, although the fact that it was night did help somewhat. Galen attacked, the Knight dodged. The Knight stabbed, Galen parried. Galen spun, the Knight kicked. It was a deadly match, and it seemed neither could win.
With no warning, the Knight leaped back ten meters from Galen and spoke. "So there are students with skill, but that is to be expected of you. My mission is accomplished, goodbye."
The Knight waved his hand and Galen flew backwards and hit the wall of the massassi temple, no he flew directly through it. There were sounds of several other similar impacts and penetrations. With that, the Sith ran faster than any speeder could travel into the jungle. The four remaining Jedi trainees looked at the courtyard; there were seven unconscious bodies lying there, and two probably very damaged bodies inside, not including whomever Galen had hit when he started flying through walls. There was a lot of work to be done, and they had better get started. The four shut off their lightsabers and went to find anyone who knew about providing medical attention, to prep the bacta tanks, to tell the real Jedi what had happened. Each of them hoped that Sith wouldn't return. Galen, in his last moments of consciousness hoped against hope that he would be strong enough to defeat that Sith, when he returned, or when he was found.
Yeah, I know it was short, but it was worth it right?!?! Yes? No? I want to know!
