Sorry Made a mistake on last chapter, I wrote training for the title when I was puting it up, thats not what it is called I'll fix that now.

Chapter 9: Training

Kreia woke up silently without yawning or stretching, she stood up from bed with her clothes still on and silently walked out of the room. She glanced at the chronometer, eight in the morning and it did not appear Mara was awake. This might be the perfect chance to contact Sion and check on his progress. This was the perfect time. Kreia strode over to the meditation rug making no noise, all that she could hear was her own breathing.

She sat down, crossed her legs and closed her eyes trying to pinpoint Sion in the Force. She found his presence and he noticed, she sensed he two sat down to meditate. Her thoughts were confirmed when his presence approached hers in the Force.

"Greetings Master." He said. His voice still had that echo quality.

"Silence Lord Sion, I do not have much time. Now did you gain Admiral Daala's trust?"

"She welcomed me with open arms! She even gave me a suite next to hers."

"This is good news. What have you told her?"

"Everything you said to."

"Excellent, my plan is proceeding well, soon you will have to get Admiral Daala to take her star destroyers and attack a defenseless planet. Perhaps Mon Calamari, I hear one of the Republic leaders is a Calamarian, that would be the perfect place. When the Empire took control of the planet they took all its defenses, it is relatively helpless except for half finished star ships. I am sure the Admiral can handle them.

"Also I am sure Anakin Skywalker will be called to defend Mon Calamari with his fleet, there is no way you can hope to defeat it with four star destroyers, reveal yourself nevertheless. That will spring the Jedi into action and that is when we can set a trap."

"Excellent plan master. I will do that."

"I will contact you again this way when the time is right."

Kreia sensed Mara wake up and she disengaged from the Force and pretended to meditate as Mara entered the room. She looked down at Kreia.

"What are you doing up this early?" She asked.

"Eight in the morning is hardly an early hour and do not mistake me. I may be an old woman but I do not require excessive amounts of sleep. I have been waiting for you. Today we will train."

"Good, its about time someone said that."

Kreia stood up and walked out of the room, Mara grabbed her lightsaber from her room and followed. Kreia led her silently down the hall seemingly knowing where to go. They came to a door that opened when Kreia stepped in front of it leading into a huge sparring room made for multiple people at one time. When Mara was in Kreia engaged the lock on the door.

"There is no need to be interrupted."

"Can we start training now?"

"Very well, what is it that drives you to learn?"

"Well they say they want me to learn the Jedi ways and toughen my abilities in the Force. Good place to start."

"By they I assume you mean Masters Yoda and Qui-gon? But the Jedi way is not the only way and is not the right way. The Sith are closer to the right way than the Jedi. They take control of the Force and are not afraid of it, though the Jedi do one thing right. They prevent unnecessary death. Remember this."

"But that's not what the Jedi say."

"We needn't care what the Jedi say. Do not get caught up in their teachings of petty kindnesses, if you are a Jedi and a poor young man walks up to you and asks you for credits what would you do?"

"Give him the credits I guess."

"Wrong, by doing such a small kindness what have you achieved? By giving him something he did not earn himself you have weakened him and in turned weakened yourself. By giving him something he did not earn he may become a target for others and die over a simple kindness. Think out your actions and what you do and how they tie into the Force."

"I have never thought of it that way."

"Perhaps now you will. There is one more thing I want to teach you about the Force today before we begin using it. When using the Force do not fear it as the Jedi do. Don't let it control you. Take control of it otherwise you never stand a chance against your opponent if they have the ability to use the Force."

"What do you mean I don't have a chance."

"If you let the Force control you but your opponent controls the Force who do you really think would win in a battle?"

"I see your point."

"Good, demonstrate it."

"How?"

Kreia only smiled. She unclipped a lightsaber from her belt and ignited a forest green blade. Mara ignited hers as well and so a duel of training began
