Star Wars: Rise of the Sith
A few hundred years before the birth of the Republic,
there were thousands of Jedi knights scattered all
over the galaxy, to protect the innocent,
and to serve the Coruscant Government.
Meanwhile, thousands of Sith are all over
the galaxy, attacking countless planets, but
their true motives are about to come to light...
Chapter Five: Jedi Warriors
Three weeks have past since the bombings. The government building and the Security Skyscraper have been rebuilt. Governor Marcus is standing at his office, staring out the large windows. The door slides open. Master Yoda walks in with a stern face, his hands resting on the top of his cane.
"Governor, here I am. What is it?" Marcus slowly turns around until he faces Yoda. He sighs.
"Well, Master Yoda. We have some news about the Sith."
"Yes?"
"Our intelligence agency has told us that the Sith are planning to attack the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk. Now I want you to lead a large group of knights to face them."
"Warriors, we are not. But, need our help, they do. Past relations with the Wookies, I have. Paregus, what about?"
"He'll be sent to the ice planet of Hoth. We have heard that another group of Sith has assembled there. Possibly the Sith leader behind the bombings, the assassination attack, and this war is there."
"What about the other Jedi. They will get here, how? Scattered all over the galaxy, they are."
"We have sent out a signal to tell every Jedi to arrive at Coruscant. Some will be deployed to fight, while others will stay to protect the city from another possible attack."
"Leave you, I will." Yoda walks out the door.
Elsewhere, on the planet Moontark, Darth Plagueis is standing in front of thousands of Sith warriors from all over the galaxy.
"Listen. The time has come. The Sith will rise up from the age long slumber and will destroy the Jedi." The Sith cheer and yell with happiness. Darth Plagueis raises his hands.
"Now listen. We will start our conflict on the planet of Kashyyyk. The Wookies have been living in peace far too long. By doing this we will lure the Jedi and strike. We will fight until every living creature fears us and becomes our slaves. We will continue to fight until every single Jedi is dead!" The crowd goes wild as Darth Plagueis smiles and waves his Lightsaber in the air. The Sith leaders assemble their men and walk onto the air carriers. Darth Plagueis looks up in delight as the ships take off. He,too, assembles his men and gets on his personal carrier and heads for Kashyyyk.
Masters Yoda and Paregus walk down the long halls of the newly constructed government building.
"Master Yoda. I hope this does not mean that the whole galaxy will be engulfed in this conflict."
"Warriors, we are not. Jedi warriors, we have become. Fight, we must."
"But, Master. We are not soldiers."
"Fallen, darkness has. Throughout the galaxy, the dark side is. Stop the Sith, if we want to survive."
A few hours later, thousands of Jedi meet with Marcus in the auditorium.
"Welcome, all of you. The time has come to stand up and stop the Sith from causing more pain, death, and destruction to the galaxy. Master Yoda will lead you to Kashyyyk. Our information we've received has shown us that they will probably strike there. While Master Paregus will lead the rest of you to Hoth. May the Force be with you all."
