I'm sorry I took so long to get this up. I typed it and uploaded it but didn't publish it.
"How is she?"
"Every memory has been deleted."
"And the other procedures?"
"Everything was successful."
"Perfect. My master will be very pleased." Bri-Sel turned, leaving the droids to buzz around DivaKi.
A week later she was fully recovered and ready for training. She and Bri-Sel stood before a sitting Doomaskus in the training hall.
"First you will learn the basics of combat. Face each other, Bri-Sel attack." DivaKi instinctively blocked him. "Excellent."
She looked at her hands which had been balled into fist. She didn't know how she had blocked him; it was as if her muscles had a mind of their own.
"Again, but this time." Doomaskus produced a light saber from an immense sleeve in his cloak. "Try using this."
He tossed it to her, and she stared at it in her trembling fingers. What was she supposed to do with this? Bri-Sel activated his saber and made a move to attack her. She turned the foreign object on and blocked his blow. They danced around the room for hours and every time he raised his saber to her, she blocked it. She was not sure how, but it just seemed to flow.
What has happened to me? What am I doing? Where am I? These questions raced through her head and her guard was dropped. Bri-Sel had the upper hand and tried to use it to his advantage. She put her hand up and suddenly Bri-Sel went sailing across the room. What had she done?
"Wonderful! DivaKi, you have just utilized the force." Doomaskus said and stood to his feet. He was much healthier these days and no longer wheezed around with the help of droids. He could run and jump about as he pleased, just as any teenage girl could. "Tomorrow you will further learn to use the force in all its capacities."
'Yes Master." Master? Why did I call him that? This was all too confusing.
"That will be all the training for today, Divaki. Go back to your quarters."
"Yes Master." Bri-Sel and Doomaskus watched the girl leave the room and the guards led her down the hall.
"She is doing well, Master."
"Yes, but her thoughts betray her."
"What do you mean?"
"She questions everything that we are teacher her. She doesn't understand what is happening."
"Will you explain it to her?"
"No. She may question it and turn against us. The problem is in the gene of her Jedi mother. They have something that we don't have."
"What is that, Master?"
"A conscience. And because she is a mutt she has a heightened conscience. There is only one thing to do. Send for the medic droid."
The next day DivaKi awoke in her quarters and this time did not question how she got there. She got dressed in her training tunic and trousers ate the light breakfast that the droids had left for her and went to the training hall. Bri-Sel and Doomaskus sat talking.
"Good morning, Master, Bri-Sel."
"Ah, good morning Divaki. I trust you slept well."
"Yes, Master, although thoughts of today's lessons invaded my sleep."
"Yes. The force is a very powerful and exciting phenomenon. We should start right away."
Bri-Sel stood next to a table with what looked like a circus obstacle course on it.
"DivaKi, I want you to take this ball and, using the force, send it through the obstacle course. Like this." He picked up the ball in his right hand and with his left caused it to hover over it. Slowly the ball left the vicinity of his hand and went through the series of hoops that were on the table. Once the course was complete the ball returned to his hand.
"Now you try. You may not get it at first but that it okay."
DivaKi tried to hide a grin as she took the other ball off of the table. She effortlessly sent it sailing through the course in half of the time that it had taken Bri-Sel. "You're right, that is a little difficult. Should I try it again?"
"No. That will be fine." Bri-Sel said a grudge hinted in his voice. "Let try something a little larger. Rearrange those metal blocks. Five metal blocks in different colors sat on the floor. DivaKi rearranged the boxes in every order that she could think of with the boxes floating six feet in the air.
"VERY GOOD!" Doomaskus said. "Now destroy the blocks." She extended her arm out and made a squeezing motion with her hand. Each lock in turn contracted just as she had motioned.
"Good. I think we will work on mind control next." Bri-Sel said matter-of-factly.
"No. I think that I have had enough for today."
"Yeah, maybe so." Doomaskus nodded at Divaki, she smiled and left the room.
"She is doing very well."
"Yes, she is."
"Her powers are accelerated. Didn't it take you a week to rearrange the blocks?"
"Six days."
"My apologies. Well, soon she will be ready to complete our plans."
