Star Wars: Rise of the Sith

Hundreds of years before the Jedi and

Sith war, there was a bold group of Jedi who stood

against the Sith. Now most have passed on, except for

one, known as The Teacher. He found a child who has

unusual extreme power and intelligence for a small child.

This is the where it starts...

Chapter Six: Ongoing Battles

Part Two: Old Memories

"How are your exorcises going?" asked a man in a dark, brown cloak.

"Fine, they are." said Yoda. The man in the brown cloak is known as The Teacher.

Years ago, there was a group of legendary Jedi that saved countless planets from the grips of the Sith. Most of them were either killed in battle or have become one with the Force. The Teacher is one of the most feared Jedi by the Sith. His power and knowledge of the Force was incredible, and so was his wisdom.

"Now, listen closely. Do you remember you childhood on your home planet of Yaweton?" he asked.

"Remember my childhood, I don't."

"Well. Since you were a small one, I have taught you everything I know about the Force. I believe you will become more powerful than me."

"Thank you."

"Now. I believe it is time to tell you the story on how I met you. It was many years ago. I went to Yaweton for food and supplies. I went into this local market when I saw you. You were a young ling at the time. I have never seen a young Jedi did what you did. You were lifting a speeder up so the inspector could look at the bottom of it, and at the same time you were lifting all the tables and chairs in the air so the cleaning droid could sweep. Later on, your mother told me you should be trained."

"Remember my mother, I do not."

"After that, I promised her that I would bring you back to Yaweton."

"Going, are we?"

"Yes. We are leaving soon."

"Come to Dagobah, why did we?"

"I picked this place for a few reasons. This planet has many different kinds of terrain to train on. You should always be observant of your environment. The other one is so the Sith wouldn't find you."

"Why is that?"

"I knew from the day I started training you, you had power beyond the normal Jedi. If you fell into the Sith's hands, the Jedi would eventually be destroyed."

"Leaving, when are we?" asked Yoda.

"Soon."

Days past and they flew away from Dagobah. They were headed to Yaweton. Yoda has been waiting for this day for many long years. He could finally meet his mother. But when they got there, it was too late. The Teacher looked in horror. The surface looked like it was melted off! They flew in to the spot where the market was supposed to be. They got out, and they could not believe what they were seeing. The market was completely destroyed. Buildings were demolished. Bodies were laying everywhere, some were burning. Fire was all over. The sky had become pitch black from the smoke. Yoda could not believe his eyes. He fell to his knees.

"Did this, who could have?" choked Yoda as his eyes swelled.

"Our greatest enemy. The Sith."

"What!"

"For years now the Sith have been attacking countless planets and destroying and killing many. The Sith want to gain control of the entire galaxy. We, the Jedi, are the only ones who can stop them from gaining power and control over the galaxy. Listen to me now, Yoda." Yoda sat on his knees, staring at the ground.

"I said listen! Do not disrespect your master! You must prevent the Sith from doing this anymore, do you understand? You have the power, I know you do, I've seen it!" Tears were running down both his and Yoda's eyes.

"I won't be here by your side forever, so you must become the Jedi you were meant to be. Do you understand?"

"Yes, master." Yoda whispered.

"Do not worry, my padawan. Always turn to the Force for guidance and protection. I will always be there."

"Living things die, why is that?"

"Well, you see, nothing really dies. These bodies we inhabit only give us physical shape and form. Once we pass on, our spirits leave these bodies and become one with the Force. That's how the Force grows. It's not just people, it's all living things, including plants and creatures. So you see, no one really dies. We just live another life by becoming one with the Force." Yoda lifts his chin up and looks in The Teacher's eyes.

"There is one more thing I need to tell you. Probably one of the most important things I can tell you."

"What is it?" asked Yoda.

"Life is full of ongoing battles. It might be between us and the Sith, or else between us and our inner demons. Unfortunately, there will always be a battlefield. If it's this ground of land, or the deepest places of our souls."

"Do bad and terrible things, why do we? Know better, we do. Happen anyway, they do."

"The Force has two sides, just like us. A good side, and an evil side. We are the good side and they are the bad. Living beings like us are always angry and greedy at each other just because one has more than the other. Even we, the Jedi, are this way also. Many Jedi like you have failed and will continue failing because we make mistakes. We do not learn from these mistakes. So we follow down the wrong path, which leads to the Dark Side. Jedi are not aloud to be attached to something, possess something, and most importantly, love something."

"Without love and believing in something, fight, why do we?" The Teacher stands there. A long silence comes up. Then, he answers,

"I see you will become more powerful than me. You have great wisdom, and power. Now come, we must leave." Yoda gets into the ship with The Teacher. They fly back to Dagobah. Years pass. Yoda becomes a Jedi knight. The Teacher dies. Yoda buries him in the ground, right where he used to train Yoda. Yoda flies away. Over the years, he goes to countless planets and star systems around the galaxy. Then one day, he met Paregus.

Paregus was then a young knight and was, cocky. A little too cocky. Yoda lands on the planet of Tatoonine, a planet covered with deserts and sand dunes, and was scorchingly hot from Tatoonine's twin suns. Yoda's skin was not used to this type of climate, but he lived with it. He was walking down the line of vendors and bars at the market, when suddenly Paregus got into a fight with some deadbeat mercenaries. Paregus got punched and fell on a vendor's cart, nearly hitting Yoda with his feet.

"Too cocky, you are. Graceful, Jedi are. Cocky and idiotic, we are not." Paregus got up.

"What did you say, you little green...thing?"

"Behave this way, Jedi do not." Paregus' face turned red with anger.

"How would You know about the Jedi? You're just a little green slim ball."

"Appreciate that crude comment, I do not." Yoda lightly Force pushes Paregus to the ground. Paregus leaps back up with a large smudge of dirt on his face.

"Oh, ya. Well Mr. Jedi, I challenge you to a fight." He pulls out his orange Lightsaber.

"Discipline, you need to learn, young one."

"Eat this!" Paregus jumps in the air and tries to slash Yoda, but Yoda jumps and Force pushes him back onto the sandy ground. He gets up. He puts his Lightsaber away.

"I'm sorry for my rude behavior. I'm lost and I have hardly any money."

"Help you, I could." Paregus grins. Months past as Paregus and Yoda become friends. Yoda helps Paregus to learn many things about the Force that he has abused. Years later, Paregus becomes a strong, Jedi. Proud of me, I hope the Teacher is. Years pass as Yoda and Paregus become allies with the Coruscant Government. Yet stuck in Yoda's head is one sentence he teacher told him long ago. Life is full of ongoing battles.

Next chapter: Yoda returns from Kashyyyk, reporting Governor Marcus of the escape of the remaining Sith army. Yoda and Marcus go to Hoth to try to save Paregus. Meanwhile, Plagueis returns to Moontark, as does Baronus. He makes Baronus commander of the army. Plagueis gathers the last remaining Sith warriors alive to have a final showdown against the Jedi army. The end of the war is near. On the next thrilling chapter of Star Wars: Rise of the Sith- Chapter 7: The Ending Conflict.
