Chapter 3: Meeting The Masters
Jackie: Welcome back to another long, long chapter of Bounded By Fate!
Jessie: Now in this chapter you will meet 6 Jedi Masters/Knight that will be training us...
Molly: I hope I get Anakin!
Steven: Actually I kinda feel sorry for Stass Allie. She's gonna be your Master, Molly.
Erik: No ifs, ands, or buts about it, Molly. It was Jackie's choice!
Niraha Skywalker: Here's another chapter to keep you on your feet! And a big thanks for my loyal reviewer! (Gives her a truckload of Star Wars plushies)
The other five heads of the teens peeked over the chairs next to Steven, who just popped up a moment ago. Their eyes wandered over to Aayla, where Luminara and Shaak Ti were inspecting her shoulder wound. After a few minutes Aayla stood up and walked out of the room to tend to her wound. Then all of the Jedi Masters' eyes fell upon the friends. Their heads slowly sank from veiw.
"We're invisible! They cant see us!" Molly muttered. Steven threw the blaster that he still had in his hand over the council chair that he was hiding behind, barely missing Kit's head since he threw it at him on accident. Kit's fingers twiched in annoyance as it sailed past his head, grazing his head sensers. Shaak Ti, who was in back of Kit, quickly whipped out her lightsaber, activated it and sliced the blaster in half then deactivated it when the two halfs fell onto the ground. The Nautolan glanced back at the Togruta and gave her a slight nod as thanks.
"If Jedi Knight you wish to become, then training you must have." Yoda said. The six teens peeked out from behind the chairs once again.
"When does this 'training' begin?" The twins asked, wondering what whe hell was going on.
"As soon as our meeting ends, begin it will." Yoda replied. The six friends crawled out from behind the chairs, stood upand were about to leave the room when Steven stopped dead in his tracks.
"Wait... but what about my lightsaber?" Steven asked.
"We will see to that after this meeting." Mace Windu sighed, rubbing his temples. Obi-Wan herded the kids out of the room, then returned to take his seat.
"First of all... how did they get here?" Shaak Ti asked, striped montrals moving a little as she turned her head to look at the other members of the council. The sliding door of the council room slid open.
"We were stupid enought to go take a swim in Highlander Parks' lake on our home planet called Earth. It was storming at that time and it just so happened that a stupid lightning bolt just HAD to hit the lake after we dove in and boom... we're here..." Molly blurted out as fast as she could. All of eyes of the Jedi Council turned towards them.
"El stupido Molly!" Lindsay hissed. Erik had to pull both Lindsay and Molly away from the sliding doors. Luminara and the other Jedi council members turned their gaze over to Master Yoda. Jessie and Jackie peeked in, yelped and ran off to their friends.
"An explaination, we have." he said with a sigh.
"Nothing happens by accident, Master Yoda. You said that yourself. But they do seem unusually strong with the force." Kit Fisto said gravely. The sliding steel door opened again. Mace glanced at it in irritation. Aayla stepped into view.
"If I may answer that question?" she asked. Mace nodded, masking his irritation.
"The clones were after them. They know those six children were here. Dont you think the Sith are after them?" she asked softly. She looked around the room at the eleven council members, since one of the council member, a Nautolan Jedi Master named Trav Di, was on a mission.
A/N: Trav Di will be coming in, in the next chapter... and he has a secret relationship with one of the other council members. Try to guess which one it is.
"True, but why are they after them?" Ki-Adi-Mundi asked, leaning forward in his chair. Stass Allie glanced at Luminara, then at Mace and Yoda.
"Clouded the future is Master Mundi. And watch them, we will." Yoda replied, eyes looking from each of the council members to the next. Aayla bowed and turned to leave.
"Check on them you will Aayla?" Yoda said to Aayla. She stopped and loooked over her shoulder and nodded. As all of the Jedi Masters and the Twi'lek Knight walked out of the room, Master Windu stayed behind to talk to Yoda about the broken lightsaber, which was now laying in the middle of the room.
"What will we do about the lightsaber Master?" Mace asked.
"Fix it we shall not. A new one he needs." Yoda sighed. The steel door slid open once again.
"NO! Fix it, fix it, fix---" The sliding door slammed closed in front of Steven's nose, "it... Owwww..." he muttered, rubbing his now sore nose. Aayla looked at the teens then sighed silently.
"Follow me." They all stared at her, confused as to what to do.
"But... what about my lightsaber?" Steven demanded.
"You'll get it soon enought young one." The blue Twi'lek said. She lead them to the training room. There they found some master and knights training their padawans. But the Twi'lek turned her attention to a small group of five masters waiting for them on the far side of the room. She walked up to them.
"Aayla do you think that these... padawans are ready to receive their Masters?" Stass asked, looking down at the Jedi Knight.
"They are ready Master Allie." Aayla said, bowing her head. Stass smiled and looked at the other members of the group, then turned her gaze onto the six teens that were looking up at the masters.
"Ummmmm... whats this all about?" Erik asked.
"You are to be trained as Jedi." Ki-Adi-Mundi said. Just then Yoda and Mace walked into the room. The Training Room went silent, very silent. Aayla glanced at each of the humans in turn, her brown eyes scanning over them, then took her place in back of Jessie.
"I will train this one as my own padawan." The blue Twi'lek stated, placing a firm hand on Jessie's shoulder. The Masters stood behind their new apprentice which they found by using the force to guide them.
"Train these padawans you will. Thought easy it shall not be." Yoda said, looking up at the Masters and their new padawans.
A/N: Yeah I know Barriss Offee was Luminaras' padawan but she now is offically a Jedi Knight. Why? Because Lindsay forced me to say it.
Luminara stood behind Lindsay, Kit behind Steven, Shaak Ti behind Jackie, Ki-Adi-Mundi behind Erik and Stass behind Molly. The Masters/Knight bowed their heads in respect to the great Jedi Master. Yoda looked from one teen to the next.
"Take out your lightsabers, you padawansmust."Yoda instructed. Five lightsabers were pulled out and ignited, sending glows of red, blue and green in their faces. Steven glanced at the others before looking down at Yoda, pouting slightly.
"Man...why does this always happen to me..." Steven muttered.
Yoda reached into his cloak and withdrew his hand holding a black lightsaber hilt (But not his own that he uses) and tossed it to Steven. Steven caught it without even thinking and ignited it.
"Your training for today, this will be." Yoda said, nodding to the Jedi in back of them, All of the other Jedi and padawans left the training room. Once the others left the Jedi whipped out their lightsabers and activated them. The six teens whipped around to face their new Master.
"On low power they are?" Yoda asked both Masters and padawans alike. The Masters nodded then looked at their padawans. After a few minutes of trying to see if the ligthsaber was on low power the padawans nodded. Yoda smiled and limped out of the room, Mace following him.
"Now what?" Erik asked, sighing slightly. Someone's stomach rumbled. Instantly the five teens looked at Molly.
"What? I'm hungry!" she growled. The Masters took that chance to attack their new padawans. The teens yelped in suprise and barely blocked the attacks that were aimed at them.
"Geez! What the heck? Warn us next time!" Lindsay yelled.
"A Jedi must always be prepeared." Kit said, blocking a move by Steven. Shaak Ti sidestepped a blow from Jackie, who dodged a swipe from Molly, who was flailing her lightsaber like crazy. Stass stepped back and thrusted her lightsaber at Molly, catching her padawans lightsaber with her own.
"If you keep on flailing like that you're going to hurt someone!" Stass said, trying not to groan. She didnt count on this padawan of hers to be so careless and wild. Erik missed a step while sidesteping Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber and crashed into Lindsay, who barely dodged a swipe of Luminara's lightsaber and tripped over Jessie's foot when she landed on the ground because she jumped over Aayla's blade when she swung at her. It was a chain reaction. All of the new padawans fell on top of each other.
"OWWWW GET OFF ME!" Molly wailed as she kicked out her feet and hit Erik on the back of his head. Lindsay growled and pushed Erik off of her. Once the teens stood up again their new masters were looking each other.
"Training them will be very hard." Stass growled.
"Stass calm down. We're going to see Master Yoda again to talk about these... our new padawans." Kit said as the masters and padawans alike deactivated their lightsabers.
"That was useless..." Lindsay growled.
"Ridiculus." Erik sighed, rubbing his head.
"Stupid!" Jessie agreed.
"Too closed in." Jackie whined.
"Too intence." Steven said. They all looked at Molly, expecting her to say something.
"What? Am I suppose to say something?" she asked dumbly. They all looked at each other and back at Molly. They then slapped their foreheads.
"Duh you moron!" Jessie hissed. Jackie looked like she was going to strangle Molly to death. The Masters glanced at the teens.
"Come with us." Luminara ordered.The friends followed the masters to the council room. As soon as they reached the sliding steel door, they opened to reveil the rest of the council waiting for a report. The teens didnt go in though. The door closed in front of their faces. Inside the council room the masters sat down in their chairs while Aayla stood next to Stass. Stass looked really annoyed.
"Training bad was it?" Yoda asked.
"Yes it was Master. My padawan keeps on waving her lightsaber around like its a stick not a feather." Stass sighed.
"Bothering you, something is?" he asked again, still looking at her. The other Jedi looked at her as well.
"It seems like my young padawan could turn to the dark side at any moment." Stass replied.
"Learn to control their anger and emotions they must." Yoda said.
"How did the other padawans do?" Mace asked.
"They fell on top of each other." Aayla sighed. Mace rested his head on his hands.
"They have to be disaplined." Ki-Adi-Mundi said.
"But how would you do that?" Plo Koon asked.
"Training droids they must practice on to get better." Yoda said. The Jedi masters and knight nodded.
"When shall we let them use the training droids?" Luminara asked. Kit's sensor tendrials twiched, unblinking gaze on the Jedi Master Yoda.
"Tomarrow they begin." Yoda said finally, leaning on his grimer stick. A soft snoring sound came from behind the closed steel door. The Masters and Knight stared at it. Mace looked irritated once again.
Jackie: Sorry but I had to type this up very quick.
Jessie: Yeah we're going up to North Carolina tomarrow so yeah...
Lindsay, Steven, Erik and Molly: R&R Please!
