A Jedi's Fire
Chapter 1
Ganner looked up at Master Letan Ak, who was a few inches taller than him, as they walked through the halls of the Jedi Temple. Ganner himself was only 5'9, a 17 year old, dark brown haired padawan, about to graduate. "This is an important time for you" Master Letan Ak said Ganner nodded respectfully, but his mind was elsewhere. This was supposed to be excited, he would soon show his Lightsaber to the council, prove his skills and he would be granted the rank of Jedi knight. After ten years he would finally graduate, but he didn't feel the excitement that the other knights said he would feel. Probably just nervous he thought.
"Now ignite your Lightsaber and show us your skills" "Yes master" Ganner replied. He slowly reached down and unclipped his saber from his belt and raised the handle making the symmetrical look of his face. He pressed his thumb down on the ignition switch. The snap- hiss of the extending blade filled the room to reveal. BLACK! The blade was black. Ganner was so shocked that he hadn't realized that he dropped the saber until he heard the bladeless handle hit the floor. Nothing like that had ever happened before, Ganner had heard of sabers that were red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, but he had never heard of a black colored Lightsaber before, and judging from the gasps in the room, apparently the council members hadn't either. He felt a strange feeling inside himself, the same kind he hade while in lightsaber training when a bolt was flying at him, but this time the feeling was long and drawn out. Ganner blinked and seemed to come back to himself. The feeling inside of him continued to grow, he felt as if something bad were about to happen. The hair on the back of his neck began to stand up. BOOM!!! An explosion rocked the council chamber. No not an explosion, but the breaking of glass. A black-clad figure came flying into the chamber by way of the broken window. The figure reached into his robes and removed something, Ganner caught only a glimpse of something shiny before it was enveloped in the person's robes again. Something red began extending from the figure's left arm. A lightsaber! That was the object that the figure had removed from his belt. Ganner now noticed where the person was standing, right in front of Master Letan Ak! Ak reached for his own saber but the Sith, that is what he must be if he could construct a lightsaber, reached his hand forward. A bright flash came from the Jedi master and his hand lowered back down to his side and he fell to his knees, as if all the energy had drained from his body. The Dark Jedi raised his Lightsaber and brought it down, right on top of Master Ak, and Jedi Master Letan Ak was no more. "NOOOOOOO!!!" Ganner yelled, for now, not only had the Sith killed his master, but he was now performing the final injustice by picking up the Jedi's Lightsaber and igniting it to use for himself. The Sith snapped his head up look directly at Ganner. The light glinted off of his eyes, making them the only thing visible under his robe of darkness. His gaze was full of hatred and, try as he might, Ganner could not stop that gaze from piercing his soul. Ganner continued to stare back, for hatred shown in his eyes too, hatred not for everything and everyone, like his adversary, but hatred for that being. That being that had killed his master, one of the few friends he had throughout his training. The evil emanating from this creature through the force surrounded Ganner, enveloped him. That vile creature had taken this place of light, and tainted it. He had taken a sheet of white, and smeared it with blood. Ganner came back to reality the man, a lightsaber in each hand, launching himself from the ground, across the chamber toward Ganner, using the Force to propel himself. Everything in the room seemed to slow down. Ganner felt a warmth inside of him. He felt something burning inside of him. It was his fire, a Jedi's Fire. He extended his hand; using the Force to wrench his lightsaber from the place he had dropped it earlier. It flew, faster than the eye could see, from the ground and into his palm. The black clad figure landed in front of Ganner, and extended his hand, but Ganner was already aware of the Sith's intentions. A bright flash erupted from Ganner, who felt the fire in him burst into a violently burning furnace, consuming all that was tossed to it. Ganner felt the energy from the dark one, but instead of being weakened by it, he absorbed it, took it in. The energy that was meant to douse the fire in him was actually feeding, making it grow. The Sith lowered his hand and raised the two lightsabers in his grasp. Gunner ignited his lightsaber, but left it in a casual pose, hanging in front of him at an angle, making him appear defenseless. Ganner saw his adversary prepare to strike, but at that moment many shadows of paths that his enemy might strike from appeared in Ganner's vision, and as soon as the Dark Jedi twitched, Ganner knew where and how he would attack. The dark one struck down at Ganner's side, but his lightsaber was already there, ready to block the attack. Another attack came, and another, but every time the Sith struck Ganner's blade was there to deflect it. Slash after slash Ganner blocked, the fire in him still burning bright. Ganner then decided to take the offensive, he dealt one blow, then another, and another, each time sensing the strength of his opponent dwindling. He dealt blow after devastating blow. The Sith raised the yellow lightsaber, that he had taken, to defend himself. Ganner batted the blade away and out of the man's grasp, using the Force to hurl it away, the bladeless handle flying through the window. He continued his relentless attack, blow after blow against the one lightsaber the Sith had left to protect himself. The man let his grip on his lightsaber loosen for but a moment, but a moment was all Ganner needed. He used the Force to thrust the Lightsaber from the man's grasp and swung at the handle in mid-air, cutting it clean in half. In front of Ganner, the Dark Jedi dropped to his knees. Ganner moved his lightsaber so the end was pointed at the Dark one. The man looked at the end of the black blade, his eyes following it up until they were looking at Ganner's. The eyes were pleading, as if to say show me mercy. "Just as you showed no mercy to my master, so I will show you none." Ganner said as he raised his blade above his head "You may consider this a message from the great Jedi Master Letan Ak.YOU ARE BEATEN!!!" And then, with one final crushing blow, Ganner brought the lightsaber blade down on the Dark Jedi, and Ganner finally struck down the Dark Lord of the Sith.
