Chapter 6- Jedi Knights
The two heroes now robust after the training leaned down to accept their medallions.
The Jedi master placed the medallions over their heads.
"Rise! Knights of the Republic!"
"Thank you master" said both knights as they stood.
"As Jedi knights, on behalf of the council I have given you your first orders. You must defend this planet from any attack!" explained their master as he turned around to leave.
"It won't be long before the separatist come back for a counter offensive."
"You mean those freaks we fought back there, are coming back!" said Yun.
The master turned around as he began to go down the steps.
"Oh, yeah. This time they'll be stronger and greater in numbers!"
"More of them! What do they want?" Yun asked again.
"Conquest of the galaxy! They want control over the republic."
"You mean…they want to invade our planet! Earth! That means there'll be thousands…no, hundreds of thousands of them!" exclaimed Ralic.
"Yes, no doubt! This isn't their first target, they've conquered many before you…ugh…but don't worry, Earth is one of the most advanced planets I've visited here in the outer rim. I doubt they'll be able to take it."
"What about the Republic…Can't they help?"
"Darth Adanus, a sith master, slowly hunted down and destroyed many jedi. I've just received word that The Jedi Lord himself lead a campaign to kill Darth Adanus once and for all" The master took a deep breath and lowered his head "But he failed and in doing so, was himself killed by Darth Adanus. As a result of this, the jedi council was destroyed and all contact with the republic has been cut off."
When he looked up he noticed confused looks on both heroes.
"The Sith are an ancient cult who once ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, the man you saw yesterday is a sithlord, master of the dark side of the force." He raised a finger as a warning gesture.
"Be careful of the sith, they're devious and cruel. They'd go to any measures to please their master."
"Can't we use the dark side of the force?" asked Ralic.
"No!" barked out the master.
"Once you start down the dark side, forever will it dominate your future, you must never resort to anger or hatred when using the force, that will lead to the dark side!" the master turned back around and walked away.
"Prepare yourselves! The separatists don't leave you waiting long before their counterstrike!"
