CHAPTER 5
The Anger Rising Within
I was walking down the hallway of echo base to the room where I was sleeping. There Jaina was talking to this possible Jedi, I was jealous because I wanted a padawan. It was not fair. I wanted to make him a Jedi myself. I looked at her. She walked over and said "what is wrong with you Kaylen" I glared and said "I wanted to train him master" she replied "you will get an apprentice from the academy Kaylen, be patient, you will get an apprentice when the order thinks you are ready" I said "I'm sorry master, the council are to slow in there decisions". She walked off to the apprentice, I was angry and I knew she could sense it. I walked into the room and dismissed the kid she came to me and asked "what do you want Kaylen, I was in the middle of something" I said "I love you Jaina" then I grabbed her and we kissed. I left the room half an hour later. She called in Jason and continued the training. I had promised that I would keep this a secret. I walked to my X-WING and said to stinger "get ready to take off and make minor repairs" I walked into the base and into the room where Jaina was. I said "are you ready to go back to the academy master she replied "no but I want you to go ahead, Master Horn has decided let you have an apprentice" I said "yes master, I will go to get my apprentice, then I will take him to Dantooine" she walked off again. I decided now was the time to take off and get to the academy. The ship was ready. I stood there then I said to stinger "lets go back to the academy" I jumped in and started the engines. There was a hum from the repulser lifts, I slowly took off. There was a group of uglys in formation. Then I realised that these were pirates and there would not any easy escape. One of the uglys had stuffed up a move and was out of formation, I let my lasers rip. His shields were torn apart by the barrage of laser bolts. Then I dropped a proton torpedo to obliterate the ship. I didn't want to attract the attention of the other ships I
told stinger to plot a course for Yavin 4. The other uglys were closing in. I yelled "hurry up stinger" he got the course plotted I said "thank you" but it was to late there was an assault on my shields, I reversed the ship and started a roll, the idiots followed me. I decided on a plummet to Hoth the uglys kept on my tail, I rolled to the left and twisted out of the drop then dropped another proton. The middle ship blew up in a flash of colours. The others were knocked out of position, and then I made the jump to Yavin 4.
I decided to go into a deep meditation to rest before I started to train my apprentice. I woke to a sudden jolt, then I realised that I had just exited hyper space. There the academy was I took the ship down to the docking bay. I walked into the master's room. They looked at me and said "are you ready for an apprentice" I replied "yes masters" the showed me a student, he looked just like the Sith Lord Darth Maul. He was about 173cm tall and had similar tattoos to the dark lord. I said "he will do just fine" I planned on taking the new apprentice to Dantooine. I walked with him to grab his stuff. He looked at me and I said "what is your name" he replied "I am Brounas, I come from Iradonia, my species is Zabrak" I kept walking down he jumped in his Jedi fighter. I jumped in my X-WING and we took off. I asked him over the COM link "have you built a lightsaber" he replied "no master" I said "you will have to make one. There are the crystals to make lightsabers on Dantooine" he replied "yes master, I will make one, I'm stuck with the training saber" I asked "what colour is the blade" he replied "it is a green blade". We entered hyper space. I kept on talking to Brounas he told me a lot about himself on the flight. I found out he was related to Darth Maul.
