Chapter 3-

The Jedi's Story

Now you get to learn about this Jedi and what happened to him. There maybe a similarity from the original Star Wars in here.

"There, how about some herbal tea.", asked Tenchi's grandfather (or Yosho if you want I don't care). The Jedi thanked him and drank the tea. "Hmmmmm, delicious. And I thank you for your hospitality." Washu was still concerned about that probe that got blasted; she wondered to herself why it was here. "It was looking for someone. But that someone it was looking, I know nothing of." the Jedi said and Washu looked on in surprise as she heard what he said and asked, "OK, how did you know what I was thinking?" "Yeah, we never got to learn exactly how you did all those fancy tricks." Sasami said and they all started to look at him with puzzled looks. "Very well, I am able to do all those tricks because…… I'm a Jedi Knight." The girls became surprised and panicked.

"A JEDI KNIGHT! I THOUGHT THEY WERE EXTINCT!" Kiyone said in excitement. "Yes, I suppose every creature in the galaxy might as well believe that." He responded. "What's your name?" asked Yosho. He answered Darrell Yalcallum. Tenchi and his father weren't following, so they asked, "What's a Jedi?" So, Darrell told them all about the Jedi (If you already know this, you can skip it).

"The Jedi Knights were once great protectors of the galaxy, negotiators and posed as ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor of Courasent, the central system of the Republic and training ground for the Jedi. Here, they practiced their saber techniques, practiced their mental powers and even met in council to discuss the problems that happen in the galaxy and give Jedi knights different missions. Of course with a master, comes an apprentice, or Jedi-in-learning. Every master has an apprentice and the master lectures them in the ways of the Jedi. But, where ever there is good, there is evil. And such evil is the Sith lords. Agents of evil turned from the ways of the Jedi, trained in the Arts of the Jedi and posses different abilities, such as creating lightning and choking a person with their mind. Yes, these are not the people you can take on without proper training. And there was one who was believed to be the Jedi of an ancient Jedi prophecy." Mihoshi interrupted, "What was the prophecy?" And Darrell replied, "The prophecy was that there was a Jedi that was so powerful, he would bring balance to the Force." Then Tenchi asked, "The Force?" And then Darrell explained, "The Force is what gives the Jedi gives his psychic abilities, such as foreseeing the future, levitating objects, and other tricks like that. But, the force is never to be used for attack, only in emergencies though. And as I was saying before, the Jedi of Prophecy or the Chosen One was a Jedi named Anakin Skywalker. He was a cunning warrior and an excellent pilot, but he was twisted by the Dark Side of the force and became Darth Vader. This was during a great time of war, known as the Clone Wars. With the chancellor's permission, or Darth Sidious' permission, he used the Clone troops they had against the Jedi in the Temple and wiped them all out, but some managed to escape their death, like myself. So, for 3 years have I come to this planet so I could hide from the Empire."

"Wait! Why not fight them? You're a Jedi, you can handle it." Sasami mentioned, but Darrell explained he was too old for that sort of thing. He would need help, so the gang volunteered to help. But, he would except help from only one. "You must learn the ways of the force, if you would help me fight the Empire…..Tenchi." Ayeka, Ryoko, and Tenchi went into shock and Ayeka and Ryoko exclaimed, "But he can't!" "Yeah, you can't risk his life like that!" Tenchi then said, "I can't become a Jedi! I have chores to do and homework." "I need your help boy! I'm getting too old for this sort of thing myself." Then R2 came in and bleeped like crazy. "And who's this little astro-mech droid. Then 3PO entered and looked excited, "Thank goodness we found you. We have been chased by the Empire for some time now, and if they find us, we'll all be doomed! I over heard the commander of a Blockade Runner say that the Empire is looking for a princess and a space pirate." They looked stunned and they knew the only space pirate and princess. Tenchi was horrified and Darrell said, "That looks like one way of motivating you to be a Jedi."

Then Tenchi explained to him how he can't be a Jedi, "Look, no offense, but I can't get involved in all this! I've got work to do! Not that I like the Empire, but I can't do anything about it right now!" Then Darrell put his hood on, got up and explained to him that he was let him decide until tomorrow. He must then choose to let the Empire come for their prize and destroy the galaxy, or learn to be a Jedi a fight them at his side.
