Teleporter: The Dark Side of Light part Two.
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, but I do own Danâe and Tiffany\Tiana, and Alenace Jade.
Tiffany followed Alenece; the Jedi Master into the room where they held the Jedi Counsel. She shivered, though it wasn't cold; a sense of foresight was upon her, and she seen the Temple destroyed, and all the Jedi killed. It frightened her, though she knew what was to happen, for she had watched the movies.
"Late, you are, Alenece Jade. Hmm, good, it is not, to be late," said the little green alien seated in the room, along with the other members of the Jedi counsel. Tiffany stifled back a laugh at the sight of him, he looked so funny.
"You summoned us, Master Yoda?" said Alenece, bowing, though her tone indicated a question, Tiffany noted.
"Yes. Called you and your Padawan, we have," Yoda said. "A mission for you, there is."
Tiffany looked around carefully, to see whom the others were. There were few of the members there, Tiffany assumed that was because they were on missions, for there was still hope, though futile it may've seemed.
"Is there, master?" asked Alenece. "If it is to our abilities, we will obey."
Tiffany remained quiet, and listened, trying to figure out what was going on still.
"There is a small squadron of X-Wings pilots going into Imperial territory, in a hopes to find a weakness in the Empire," said the black man who sat beside Yoda. "We had thought it best to send some of the more stealth minded Jedi in with them, to infiltrate the Empire while the squadron creates a diversion. We had thought you two the better pair for such things."
"The Empire is powerful," said Alenece. "It would be folly to send those who know not what they are doing. Are you that confident in us, masters? The loss of even the slightest number of people could cause the fall of the Republic."
"You feel then, that do it, you cannot hmm?" asked Yoda. "If feel you this, then go, you shall not."
Alenece closed her eyes for a moment, and folded her hands in front of herself. "No," she said softly. "We could do it, Master Yoda. I have faith in my Padawan."
"But you do not have faith in your own abilities, is that it, Master Jade?" asked the black Jedi Master. "Is that your thoughts?"
"I do not know what I fear," she answered. "The Dark Side, maybe that more innocent people will die, for lack of foresight, for lack of knowledge on what to do." She turned to face the black Jedi. "Master Windu, my vision is clouded. I know not what to do."
"Trust in the Force. If you feel that you cannot do this, then do not," he answered.
"Do, or do not," said Yoda. "There is no try. Do not try to do this, but do it, or do it not."
"And what of your Padawan?" asked Mace Windu, the black Jedi Master. "What is her opinion on this?"
"Yes," said Yoda. "Have a say in this, she must."
Tiffany pulled back, just a bit, at being put in the spotlight. "I have little to say, Master Yoda," she said.
"Hm,? Have nothing to say, have you? Speak, young Padawan; we all have thing to say," siad the little green alien, in his distinctive 'Yoda' manner, "what is your your mind, hmm? What have you to say? Hmm?"
Tiffany halted a little in her speech, and then spoke. "We stand upon the edge of a knife. If one of us was to fail at a task, then the balance would be shifted and the Republic would fall. We live in a time of worry, for if one fails, all fails."
"Hmm. You feel then, that if you fail in this mission, then fall, the Republic will?" asked Yoda. "Logical, that is. What happens to one will effect us all, hmm. Yes, young one, you speak true in this matter, yes. If you fail, all maight fall, and be lost. That is your worry, is it not, Hmm?"
Tiffany nodded faintly. "Yes, Master Yoda."
"But nonetheless," said Mace Windu, folding his hands in the 'Jedi pose', "if we fail to act when we have an opportunity, then we might fall as well. It is a double-edged sword, for if we act, and fail, we fall, and if we do not act, then we will fall as well. What choice do we have in this matter? Do we not act, and hope that we will remain on solid ground, or do we act, and hope that we will not fall into darkness, as others have before us?"
"There is always a choice," said Tiffany, quietly. "But sometimes that choice is the hardest of all to make ."
"Yes. Decide now, we must. Act on one possibility, we will," said Yoda.
"We will go," said Alenece. "Whether we fail or not, we will not fall to the Empire's wishes that easily."
"Then you will go?" asked Mace.
"Yes," said Alenece, decidedly. "We will not sit and do nothing while the Empire stands."
"Good. Then you will go out to the planet Dantooine. A small X-Wings force stations themselves there," said Mace. "You will depart from there into Imperial space. May the Force be with you."
"Yes," said Yoda. "With you, the Force will be."
"Thank you, master." said Alenece. "Come, Tiana."
Tiffany followed her as she left the room, still wondering, but now, she was beginning to understand what was going on.
