Chapter 6: Yoda's New Look
It was only a few hours after Master Windu had arrived and left …. There was chaos every where with the strongest Jedi's' (excluding Yoda) off the Coruscant it was defenseless….. Yoda was not sure when but he knew he was next to leave for this rage less war. Finally the senate messenger arrived requesting the presence of Master Yoda. Of course Yoda could not decline it was his duty to make sure the republic stayed stable in times of war and or peace. Master Yoda climbed into the Republic Gunship on the six level just like Mace had done. Yoda's' gunship took off and was headed for the senate buildings. This was where Palpatine was most of the time. On the way there Yoda just started out the starboard side watching the traffic fly across the over-cast sky. He sighed and thought back to his younger days when he could take on the largest Nexu and not take a cut. With Yoda beginning to feel his age the touch of the force in him was dying. Yoda knew also that the Republics days where numbered. Yoda had seen so much change in the last eight-hundred-and fifty years which some had been for the good but some had been for the worst. With Yoda's sister dead after a dealt with Count Dooku which was fully recorded on a holo-gram Yoda seemed empty. Yoda pushed the holocron around in his head waiting for the day he could see what happened just to know that she went down with joyous terms. When Master Yoda's ship landed it took him a second to realize that he was there. He hopped of the ship and waddle like he normally does to the Senate chambers. Where two guards stood armed with staffs as tall as a wookie. Yoda climbed up the steps and took a seat next to the rest of the Jedi that managed to show up.
"Master Yoda what a pleasant surprise." said Chancellor Palpatine. Master Yoda only sat with a puzzled look. "We have grave news we have discover that General Grievous has been spotted attacking several planets." said the Chancellor.
"Go to Ilum I will. Be safe there I will be." said Master Yoda getting up and hopping down to the floor and walking out.
Them moment the door closed behind Yoda he felt the presences of Padme' who was crying and clinging to herself. He walked over to her and knew that she was crying because of the vastness of space between her and herself.
"Help may I." said Yoda looking up at Padme. Padme look at asked
"May I go with you to Ilum?" she said
"Come with me you may but responsible I am not if anything happens." said Yoda walking back to his ship.
With the two headed towards the docking bays on the industrial side of the planet the Jedi Council was no longer together. Master Yoda called for a battalion of ships to take off and leave towards the planet of Ilum. When Yoda and Padme arrived there was chaos droids had overturned and taken most of the planet. Yoda watch the battle as the ship landed on the surface. He walked towards a tank that had a spot for him to stand. He stood up with Padme behind him and they where off. Across razor sharp canyons and mountains. Yoda jumped and flipped in the air when the ship came to a stop. He lit his saber and cut several droids heads off. He jumped up onto a gunner tower and drilled his saber into the soft metal surface causing the turret to be offline. He jumped back down to the ground right in front of Padme and Dodged a massive laser attack with his saber.
"Stay in one spot you must not." said Yoda jumping back up in the air and slamming his saber into another droid and twirling back to the ground.
Yoda felt the presence of evil. He knew it was Grievous and looked at a clone and told him to find Grievous. Yoda hopped up to another gunner tower and slashed it to pieces. Then he fell to the ground landing on his feet. He rustled his robes back into there positions. Then he ran to a small temple where he knew Grievous was hiding in cowardness.
"Uhm, Knew it was you all along I did." said Yoda looking at grievous
"Your lightsaber please." said Grievous. He got the looked from Yoda and drew his sabers. "You think you could beat me?" he said
"Not think, know I can beat you." said Yoda.
Grievous attacked throwing his sabers into Yoda but missing every time. Yoda though was jumping and flipping around Grievous he landed and slashed cutting an arm off. Grievous' hand dropped to the floor with the saber still in it. Yoda looked and watched Grievous for a second.
"It seems the battle is yours but this not the end." said Grievous as he ran out of the temple.
With Yoda victorious against grievous the battle droids would now evacuate the planet in fear. Yoda picked up his robes and his cane. He waited for the clones to arrive. When they did they assessed the damages done. With this battle done master Yoda could now return to Coruscant.
