Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, but sense I didn't see this scene nor any Jedi with these powers, I do own nothing but a Jedi I made up, a handful of clones, a wicked cool lightsaber, and some other stuff I don't feel like finding and typing… point is this is my story even if Lucas created the movies and idea that inspired me to write such a fanfic…

Chapter 1: Ambush and Betrayal
"Let's go," I said motioning for the clones to follow. Instead they stopped and drew their guns at me. I knew this was a bad sign. The clones were on our side. But I suddenly sensed several council members life forces disappear. I cried with anger in myself but quickly extinguished it with the force and made a split-second decision to push my mourning until later when I could think.
As for now, I had a bigger problem. These clones obviously were part of some plot to destroy me, a well-planned plot that was meant to kill all of the Jedi including myself. I could see this because we were best in numbers and the republic obviously knew this so they singled us out to different planets in which the war was held. Little had I known that I was part of a major scheme even before the Clone War had begun. I had a level head about my mistakes but I still cursed myself. How could I have not seen this before? The Dark Side must have clouded my mind… it must have tempted my mind to stay clear of my intuitions. Yes, I obviously had been fooled. The Dark Side is a powerful temptation, one that could make you grow mad with greed.
I froze time… more like slowed it down actually… You see, my species can slow time down terribly but most of the time for only a few seconds. I, however, through my countless days of Jedi training, could sustain enough energy to "freeze" time for an hour or two each day… I had already used an hour during the first wave of droids on this planet. My intuition also warned me not to waste my energy too much, for I would probably need this useful ability later today and maybe into the night.
I focused and came to a decision on what I should do. I had to make sure my entire plan was to be filled out exactly or I would fall like my Jedi brothers and sisters. I ended the "freeze" with a sweep of my hand and drew my lightsaber, a dark blue glow emitting from the handle. This lighsaber was special, no saber could replace it in the galaxy. I crafted it myself by carving the handle from the tooth of a great whale-like creature and installing a dark-blue crystal that had the ability to guard you from swift attacks. Indeed it was a rare crystal but I inherited it from my father who died shortly before I turned 14 years old.
Suddenly I felt the rest of my Jedi brothers and sisters fall suddenly, save a few others. I felt darkness fill the empty void in one certain Jedi's heart and felt a sudden drop in life forces in the younglings.
Oh no! All those lives! And so young! My heart screamed. But I had to focus on keeping myself alive. I had to focus on surviving and somehow reaching master Yoda because I knew he of all Jedi would never fall at the attack of a lightsaber or any other weapon for that matter.
The clones fired their weapons straight at me but with the help of the crystal that powered my saber, I deflected the attacks easily. With my saber-free hand I summoned the power of the force and focused it's energies on their guns.
WHAM!
Each gun had backfired on its master's head exactly at a pressure point causing them to die almost instantly. I knew this wasn't the Jedi way but I had no choice… they had killed my brothers out of hate and anger. I weeped feeling the hate of so many clone troopers that I had thought was on our side. Alas, it seemed the republic finally found a way to overthrow the Jedi…
No, no! My mind was being clouded again and I didn't have enough time to fight it off… the temptation was rising and depression, hate, and anger was slowly flowing through my body.
I suddenly pushed all those feelings away with the force and realized that I was surrounded by several troops.
"You are outnumbered Jedi," said one clone behind his helmet as he drew his weapon and fired at me with pin-point accuracy…
Note: I saw Star Wars ep. 3 yesterday and was so inspired by the idea of survival that I made sure that in my stories one Jedi (besides Obi-Wan and Yoda) survived the betrayal of the clones. Please read & review as this is my second fanfic I've published and my first Star Wars fanfic… Chapters are to come ASAP (read the other note below to see why I say this)

Another Note: Even though the summer is here I'm homeschooled which means I have year-round homework to do so writing these fanfics/the chapters that go with them is a challenge to say the least because after my schoolwork I have chores, volunteer work at the hospital, a constant taking care of two small dogs, places to go, etc. before my free time which might include this (which I will try really hard to include this so I don't disappoint any readers out there)
This is my first Star Wars fanfic so far, and I hope to give you continuing adventures from "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…" ;)
