Chapter 5

Former Supreme Chancellor Palaptine meditates in his private apartment in a secret room, on the subject of a new apprentice. With the lose of Skywalker as an option he now needs a strong one. In the last six years he has not be able to find a suitable one or even have the opportunity to try and turn a Jedi. All of his attempts have been killed. Either by Jedi or himself because they were too weak. Ever since The Jedi Council has changed the Code that Jedi live by his life has not been going well.

First Skywalker attempted to resign from the order, but was not allowed. Instead of letting him (which would have made it easier to turn him), the Council change the rules about attachments. Allowing Jedi to marry and supporting Anakin made the young Jedi trust the Council. Skywalker even confined in Obi-Wan Kenobi about the nightmares he was having about Padme dying. With this the Jedi made her protection their highest priority. With help from the Jedi Master Yoda Anakin was able to block the dreams. The Sith Lord still has hopes to turn the powerful Jedi to The Dark Side. The only way he can do this is to take everything the Skywalker holds dear. But he must do this in a way that puts the blame on the Jedi. For that he will need an apprentice.

While immersing himself in the Dark Side to meditate in his secret room filled his Sith artifacts, the Dark Lord of the Sith is blasted out of his trance and thrown back crashing into the wall. A large surge of the Dark Side hit him as he has never felt before. "I must find who is responsible for that energy." The Sith says to himself.

At the same time a little green Jedi Master is also meditating on the subject of the Sith. The Force is still clouded as it was during the Clone Wars. With the death of Count Dooku, the Sith have not shown themselves. There have been a few conflicts with some Dark Jedi claiming to be Sith Lords, but none of them were strong enough to be a true Sith and have been defeated by his Jedi.

"Clouded the Force is." The Master mutters. "Sense the Sith I can not."

Then suddenly the Jedi Master is assaulted by the Dark Side. So strong it is that even Yoda as strong in the Force as he is physically feels the energy and is torn from his meditation. "Major disturbance is this. The other Masters inform I must." With this he sends for Masters Windu, Kenobi and Skywalker. "Skywalker Jedi Master, ironic this is." Yoda said laughing to himself.

Obi-Wan Kenobi watches his Padawan as he is going attempting to block the lasers from the lightsaber training orb. "Concentrate young one. Let the Force flow through you. Do not try to use it let it guide you."

The young Jedi blocks several shots, when the droid quickly spins left. As he follows the droid it abruptly changes directions and lands a shot on his leg. "OW"

"Got you again." Obi-Wan said with a chuckle.

"Master it is not funny." The Padawan said rubbing his leg.

"You always fall for the same trick Luke."

"I know but last time I did not, it got me in the other leg."

"That is because you are only trying to block with your blade. Remember you can also move out of the way. This is not only lightsaber training but combat training."

"But shouldn't I be able to block them all with my lightsaber? You and my Dad can."

"We have also been doing this a lot longer young one."

"But still I should be better then this. I bet my Dad could do it at my age."

"Remember Luke your father did not start his training till he was nine. And between you and me he got shot in the butt many times."

"Really?"

"Yes my Padawan but remember do not say anything to him. It is still a sore subject with him."

"Oh man, OK."

At that moment Anakin Skywalker walks into the training room. "DAD!"

"Hey kiddo. How goes the training?"

"Not bad." Smiles the young Skywalker. "Only got hit in the leg. Could have been worse, I could have gotten shot in the butt."

The older Skywalker looks at his son, then at his former Master who is trying to hide his laughter.

"Don't look at me Anakin."

"Right Master."

"What can I do for you my former Padawan? Not looking to spar are you?"

"As much fun as it would be to wipe the floor with you, sadly I can't." "Master Yoda is looking for you."

"What for? Did he say?"

"No, just that he wanted to see us."

"Very well." Replied the Jedi Master. Turning to the youngest in the room he says "Luke why don't you go meditate then go do your homework."

"Yes Master." Replied the boy as he started off for their quarters.

"And no lightsaber practicing without supervision." Anakin adds.

"Yes sir." Luke said with a pout. His father knows him too well.

The team of Kenobi and Skywalker walk into the Council's Chambers to find Master Windu and Master Yoda.

"How goes the training of the next Skywalker generation Master Kenobi?" The Korunnai Master asks.

"So far so good Master Windu." Obi-Wan smiles as he adds "He is defiantly a Skywalker though."

"Well you did a pretty good job on the first one. That is why we requested you train young Luke."

"Strong in the Force young Skywalker is." Master Yoda adds.

"Yes he is Master Yoda." Master Kenobi replies. "But why do I think that is not Luke's progress that is the reason we are here."

"True you are." The green Master states. "A great disturbance in the Force felt I have." "A strong surge of the Dark Side hit was I when meditating."

"A Sith?" Anakin asks.

"Sure I am not. Brief it was but very strong. Strongest sense of anger felt I have ever."

"Any idea where or who it came from?" Obi-Wan asked the Master.

"Don't look at me Master I have been good." Anakin said as he chuckled. "OW!" The youngest Jedi Master yells after being rapt with Yoda's cane.

"Joking matter this is not Skywalker."

"Yes Master. My apologies." The Jedi Master said bowing his head.

"The exact location known is not. Though believe I do that on Coruscant it is." The old Jedi Master said. "So strong it was, close it had to be."

Mace Windu speaks up "A Sith Lord would not show himself to us like that."

"The truth speak you do Master Windu. Anger raw it was barely focused was it."

"So it may have just been a strong Force User or one sensitive to the Force." Obi-Wan added.

"Believe this I do Masters. Find the one we must before Sith do."
