Luke eased his X-wing down slowly, feeling the soft thud when it touched down. Kyp, he noticed, took a few more rounds of circling the area before landing right beside Luke.

Luke hopped out of his cockpit and down the yellow ladder onto the stony platform. Kyp did the same. Kyp was a tall man, slightly taller than six feet, and had long curly shaggy hair that hid most of his face. His appearance gave the idea that he had been in a long war. Only that was not true - he simply always appeared that way. He shook his head, hair flying wildly, and surveyed the area.

Luke, on the other hand, had slightly long, straight blonde hair. His bangs hung down, as did the rest of his hair, flat. He wore a black tunic with a utility belt, upon which a lightsaber dangled. Kyp wore a similar outift, only a deepened purple color.

They were Jedi. And with that title, a certain amount of respect was due. They brought peace to those who wished it and fear into those who were cruel. For twenty somewhat years the Empire had banished and extinguished the Jedi Order, but the New Republic and Luke had brought it back full force.

"Master," Kyp's deep voice called, "do you hear that?"

Luke nodded. "Yes my young apprentice. I sense a great amount of fear and anguish, something only felt within a battle. War is on the uprise and judging by the sound, is closing in on us."

Kyp reached down to his belt and pulled from it a black pair of electrobinoculars. He twisted the dials to get a better view, untwisting them, and twisting them again. After a few minutes he put them away. "Trandoshan army Master, heading this way. Four heavy tanks, and a couple of old Rebellion speeders."

"Then we better head out, wouldn't you agree? I don't want to be in harm's way as to force me to kill another life." He began to walk away, but Kyp stopped him.

"You won't have to worry about taking another life Master," he declared.

"And why is that Kyp?" Luke furrowed his brow.

"The Trandoshan army heading towards us? It's manned by old Clone Wars-era battle droids."

Luke rolled his eyes in annoyance. Battle droids, huh? Mindless scrap metal given blasters, rocket launchers and a targeting array. Worthless pieces of Bantha fodder. He had fought the droids before and had found them quite easy to defeat. "Oh well all right. Prepare for battle then Kyp." He reached into the Force and allowed himself to sit down cross-legged calmly. His hands were open and together, his head resting upon them.

Kyp could feel the Force radiating from him like a bright light. He followed suit and tapped into the Force, allowing it to surge through his body like an electrical charge. Yes. The Force was charging him, charging his abilities, his mind, his health, and his skill with a lightsaber. When the armies arrived, he would be ready to fight. He would be ready to destroy.

Vroom. That was the sound of the hovering speeders as they moved slowly towards their destination. The slow rumble of the tanks' engines shook the ground. Air speeders circled the area like vultures up ahead. The mechanical voice of the droid commander spoke out, "Prepare for battle. Prepare for battle."

Luke was prepared for battle, as was Kyp. Kyp readied himself, using the Force to shunt out his nervousness and anxious feelings. It's time. Three...Two...One!

With a quick snap-hiss, his lightsaber hummed to life, glowing an aquatic blue. He turned to his left and saw that Luke was already on the move, his green bladed lightsaber humming with energy and charging forward. Kyp could feel the Force flowing through him. He smiled malevolently and took off towards the battle, using the Force to propel his legs to move at a supernatural speed. With what would normally take a minute to reach, he was at the battlefront in under ten seconds.

He kept the speed up, propelling himself onto one of the tanks with a high flying double front-flip. He slashed a battledroid in two then sliced another one into thirds. He danced his way towards the entrance into the cockpit, lightsaber twirling. All the battledroids saw was a flash of blue light before their data went blank. Blaster bolts rang out from all sides, completely surrounding the young Jedi. He was too quick for them though. He twirled around, moving his lightsaber to deflect each and every blaster bolt that came at him, sending them back from whence they came. After decapitating four droids in one swift sweep, he pushed out his hand and sent nearly twenty droids flying backwards with the Force. They hit smack dab in the middle of a battalion of droids aiming their fire at Luke.

Kyp kicked the remaining two droids of the tank and into its giant rumbling engine. Sparks flew out everywhere. Kyp shielded his eyes until they stopped, then pulled open the hatch. He jumped down inside and with a few short twirls had cleaned the house. The tank was his.

Luke was truly the embodiment of the living Force as he moved across the battlefield, taking tens of droids with him. Kyp had sent quite a few flying his way, helping his cause. Within twenty minutes, no battledroids remained outside. It was Luke's turn to take control of a tank.

Kyp was firing gargantuan laser bolts at the air speeders, knocking a few out of the air and blasting two into oblivion. With each bolt fired, the cannon that fired them lurched back, shaking the whole tank.

Soon enough Luke's tank had joined him in the hunt for speeders. Once they were all done away with, the two Jedi let out huge sighs. Kyp hit the comm switch to communicate with his master on what to do next.

This was Kyp Durron. One of the prized pupils of the New Jedi Order. He was said to have the potential to rival Master Skywalker in wisdom and knowledge of the Force. To some alien planets and cultures, he was known as a god; called 'Ichnaki' on Rendar V, meaning Immortal Savior. The title had been given to him after he saved the small nation from alien invasion singlehandedly.

Next was Luke Skywalker. The last of the Old Jedi Order and the first of the New. The last Jedi Knight trained by Yoda, the greatest Jedi that ever lived. He had conquered the Sith and, if it still existed, would have earned recognition in the Jedi Archives. History of the Old Republic tells us that most of the great conflicts were really conflicts of the Force. Sith vs Jedi; Darkside vs Lightside. The Great Hyperspace War was a conflict with the Sith. The mighty Sith war that nearly broke the galaxy in two was a Force War. And finally the Clone Wars that lead straight into the Galactic Civil War were both Force Wars. The Old Republic and the New Republic, no matter: the Jedi always won. It was usually because of one or two great Knights. This time, the darkest era of the galaxy's existence, was defeated by the son of the man that had caused it all to happen. Ironic and fateful.

Luke had reestablished the Jedi Order and brought about an age of Jedi Knights unlike any the galaxy had seen before. Powerful Force users took on apprentices nearly everyday. The number of Jedi were growing. Due to the small amount they still were though, Masters and Knights had to take on more than one apprentices. Still, because of him and his devotion to the Force, the galaxy had been ridden of the Sith, and there was peace.
