"Strange this is," Yoda said when he heard the Midi-Chlorian count of the group, "Unnatural as well."
"I agree," Mace said. The group was outside the room while the masters decided what to do, "we could train them. They have already used their powers on the bounty hunters. Their experience will spread quickly."
"But who will train them?" Master Mundi asked, "We have little masters and knights to spare."
"What if we let them follow Masters Skywalker and Kenobi?" Ahsoka asked. She and her master Anakin as well as Obi-Wan were listening in on what to do, "They can learn through experience. How to fight with a lightsaber, use the Force, fly a ship."
"She's got a point," Anakin said backing up his padawan, "I mean I trained her with experience, taught her some forms. and she turned out ok."
"That is a good idea padawan Tano," Mace told the padawan, "Anakin bring them in." Anakin told the group to come in with a little Force suggestion. When they came in they were watching the masters carefully. "Welcome back,"
"What can we do to help?" Sora asked the masters. "We will do whatever we can."
"I'm glad you feel that way," Obi-Wan said, "because you will be trained by myself and Anakin. We will train you to use your powers. You will be trained as Jedi."
"Catch," Anakin said throwing training lightsabers to the group, "these will allow you to learn how to use a lightsaber and channel the Force through it."
Sora activated his lightsaber as soon as it was in his hand. It was a version of Anakin's designed for his specialty of Djem So. The lightsaber had a solid casing and the lightsaber hilt included a ridged hand grip, as Djem So required its users to maintain a solid grip on the hilt. The blade was a pale green. Roxas's training blade had a blue crystal and was the same style. Riku's hilt featured a much more skeletal make. The emitter was separated from the body of the weapon by a bronze cut-back; thin "choke" portion which also held the reserve power cell immediately below this slim bar was the ridged handgrip, which occupied the central third of the hilt. Its blade was black as space. Axel's was a simplified version of Qui-Gon's highly elaborate design. His blade was fiery red. The girl's lightsabers were styled after Shaak Ti's with a rounded end. Xion's and Kairi's blades were Neptune blue. Namine had a yellow colored version.
"I see you like the blades," Obi-Wan said, "after watching you duel we decided what form we think you should be trained in. Sora. Roxas. You will be trained mainly in Djem So. Axel. Riku. You will be trained in the form of Soresu. Kairi. Namine. Xion. I will show you Ataru. Mickey here is your lightsaber; Yoda will show you his form of Ataru. Since you two are about the same height he will be the best to teach you. Donald and Goofy I want you to meet senator Garm Bel Iblis" Mickey ran off to find the great Jedi Master. Just then Captain Rex ran up to Anakin.
"Sir," He said standing at attention when he got to his general, "the Jedi council has sent me to tell you that we are to get ready to leave. The CIS has attacked Ilum. A Jedi knight stationed there is hiding in the crystal caves awaiting help. He said there were what seemed to be three battalions of battle droids and Dooku himself. Also a new type of monster, it was pure black."
"Heartless," Riku said having once controlled them, "we were right, they are here."
"Saddle up," Roxas said to the group, "Lock and Load."
On the Sith world of Korriban Darth Sidious was meditating in the Sith catacombs embracing the Dark Side when a black portal opened up and a cloud of black smoke appeared. The smoke formed into a tall being. She held a scepter with a green orb on the top of it and a pointed hood. She introduced herself as Maleficent. She explained that this was the highest concentration of dark energy in the galaxy she could find but, until she regained her strength she must remain in her gaseous form. She showed the Sith master the beings she controlled called heartless and how she could help him in the war. Sidious smiled and asked her to meditate with him and embrace the Dark Side. She gladly accepted the offer and asked to be trained to use the Dark side. Sensing the Dark side in her heart he agreed.
AN What is Maleficent planning? Will she kill our heroes? Willl Anakin turn to the dark side during this story? WILL I BREAK THE 4th WALL? Tune in next week for none of these answers in a new instalment of Star Wars: The Kingdom Clone Wars.
