Children of the Force

The rest of the meal was not too eventful. Obi-Wan felt unattached, not really able to
comprehend all that had occurred. So many questions crowded his mind . . .
Suddenly, he realized his Master was speaking to him.
"I'm sorry, Master," he said, "I was thinking. What did you want?"
"Shinzo has offered to allow us to participate in their training," he repeated. "Do you
wish to? She has also offered to allow us to go through their records." Obi-Wan wrinkled
his nose, and Qui-Gon laughed knowingly.
"Right, training it is," he said. "But I think that I will go through their records. Have
fun." Petin came over to them, and led him to a large training room.
"Shinzo may give you a uniform later," he said, "But they are close enough to your
robes that you should be fine." He nodded and took off his cloak. When he entered the
room, he found everyone lined up, in rows of five, ten lines deep. They stood silently,
waiting for something. Obi-Wan got in line near the back and watched Petin jog lightly
to the front. He took his place and shouted something Obi-Wan guessed was the language
of the Shinu. Everyone answered as one, then kneeled. He was a bit lost, yet realized
after a brief moment that everyone was meditating. He did likewise, and cleared his
mind. After about three minutes, Petin said something and they all jumped up and
bowed. Shinzo, who was now in front also bowed back, then motioned to Petin to
continue. They began with light exercises, arm and leg stretches. During this
time, Obi-Wan took time to really look around, as he was in excellent shape, and was not
in too much strain(^_~). Everyone wore similar uniforms, although he noticed that some
wore different colored belts. The colors were everything from black, red, blue, green,
yellow, and white. The age level varied, from the small boy they had "met" before, to
Kusuri, who seemed to be the oldest, save Petin and Shinzo. Suddenly, everyone was
running backward, to the back of the class, keeping in their lines. They began doing
various exercises for about half an hour, then resumed their former positions. From
there, Shinzo took over.
"White belts and yellow belts, work on your katas with Kusuri," she began. "Green and
blue belts, work on kicks. Practice old ones, and perfect the new ones, under Petin's
direction. Red and the rest of the black belts, go to the sparring room and wait for me."
Everyone did as directed as Shinzo made her way to the waiting Jedi.
"You may join us in the sparring room if you wish, Obi-Wan," she said. "It is up to
you." They nodded and followed her out of the training room and into the sparring room
where the upper belt levels where waiting. When one of them saw Shinzo, he shouted
something and everyone jumped up and bowed as the three entered. Shinzo bowed back
and they knelt against the wall. Obi-Wan knelt beside Asa who smiled briefly at him,
then turned her attention to Shinzo. The young girl was pacing the the front of the
room. Obi-Wan noticed that her belt was also black, with a blazing yellow five on either
ends. He then noticed that others had two's and three's. Nobody had anything higher,
although he remembered that Petin had a four on his belt.
"Asa and Turi," Shinzo commanded, "You two will begin." The two jumped up and
face each other in the center of the room. They first bowed to Shinzo, then to each other.
With an ear-piercing yell, Asa lept into the air and attacked.
