AN: Heres another chapter
let me know what you think so far in the comments
Start
Yasuke retuned to the Fighting Falcon with Dofor. the orange stripped astromech droid trilling happily.
"Ok here we go Dofor, Im going to initiate the astromech docking procedure. Get into position." Yasuke said pushing the panel that opened the cockpit as he jumped inside. Dofor beeped an affirmative before rolling underneath the ship into the docking position.
"Hmm, here it is". Yasuke muttered to himself entering in the ship code before flipping the initiation hatch causing a magnet rod to lower down attaching itself to dofor and raising him into the docking position. With that finished Yasuke exited the cockpit turning on the security functions.
"Beeep beeeeep zzzzz". Dofor said to Yasuke.
"I wont be long, but while im gone I need you to upgrade the navigational chart and finish refiting the weapons." Yasuke yelled walking back towards the rendevuous point for the mission.
Mos Eisley
The next morning, Yasuke and the team gathered at the landing platform where their ships were prepped and ready for departure. Darnak had arranged for a few speeder bikes to make the journey through Tat'lun's treacherous desert terrain more manageable.
Yasuke piloted the Fighting Falcon, making sure to stay on course as they left Tatooine's atmosphere, Joined by 5 other ships they grouped into formarion before initiating hyperdrive. dissapearing from tatooine space.
Tat'lun
In the vastness of hyperspace, the team of six starfighters traveled toward Tat'lun. The comm system turned on as Darnak's voice crackled over the radio, "You know, I've heard some wild stories about Tat'lun. I hope they're not all true."
Yasuke replied, "It's always best to expect the unexpected. Keep your senses sharp, and we'll be fine."
As the ships approached the exit point from hyperspace, Laria spoke up, "Look alive, everyone. We're about to re-enter real space. Keep that formation tight."
Exiting hyperspace, Tat'lun appeared before them, its arid surface stretching as far as the eye could see. The pilots maintained formation as they descended towards the planet.
Yasuke reminded the team, "Stick close, folks. We're entering the atmosphere. Expect some turbulence. And, Darnak, if you see any of those legendary sand worms, let me know."
Darnak chuckled, "Will do, Yasuke. But I'd rather not meet one of those beasts."
The starfighters descended towards Tat'lun's unforgiving surface without any immediate signs of danger. The planet's desolation and vast dunes stretched out before them, creating an eerie, silent landscape. The absence of hostilities left the team on edge, each pilot watching their surroundings carefully as they prepared for their mission.
As they touched down on Tat'lun, Yasuke radioed the team, "Looks like we made it without any trouble. Stay vigilant, though. We don't know what we might encounter during our mission."
The team began to scout the surrounding desert terrain, moving cautiously through the ever-shifting sands. The silence was occasionally broken by the eerie sound of the wind passing through the dunes.
Tahir, a tall Twi'lek with blue skin, remarked, "This place gives me the creeps. It's so desolate."
Nayla, a small but agile Rodian, responded, "Agreed. But we have a job to do, and that holocron could be anywhere out here."
As they ventured further into the desert, they kept their eyes peeled for any signs of the ancient Jedi artifact. The legendary sandworms of Tat'lun were said to protect valuable treasures buried beneath the surface, making their quest all the more perilous.
As they trudged through the desolate wasteland, their comms buzzed to life. It was Yasuke, who was exploring a bit farther from the group.
"Team, I've found something," Yasuke's voice crackled through the speakers. "Looks like some kind of entrance, hidden beneath the sands. You should come check this out."
The team quickly regrouped around Yasuke's discovery. Before them lay what appeared to be a concealed entrance to an underground chamber. Its existence was hinted at by an array of peculiar stones and symbols that marked the entrance.
Laria examined the symbols and spoke, "This must be it, the entrance to the Jedi's hidden sanctum. The holocron could be down there."
Darnak nodded, his excitement evident. "Let's proceed with caution, team. We don't know what we might encounter below."
The team moved deeper into the underground chamber, their footsteps echoing in the dimly lit passageway. As they ventured further into the sanctum, an unsettling feeling settled over them. It was as if the very air was heavy with ancient knowledge and lingering power.
Unknown to the team, a dark entity cloaked in shadows observed their progress from the entrance. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie, malevolent light, and its presence exuded an ominous aura that sent shivers down their spines.
Yasuke, who had been at the front, turned to his companions and whispered, "Stay alert. I sense a presence here, something dark and malevolent."
Laria tilted her head confused, her hand resting on the hilt of her blaster. "What are you some kind of jedi?" she asked incredulous.
Yasuke only smiled bigger. "Something like that."
Liara only rolled her eyes disbelievingly.
As the team ventured further into the depths of the ancient chamber, the air grew colder, and a sense of foreboding filled the passageway. The walls of the chamber were adorned with intricate Jedi symbols and murals, telling the story of the holocron they sought.
Suddenly, a low, guttural growl echoed through the chamber, sending shivers down their spines. From the shadows emerged what seemed to be local animals, creatures that had gone mad due to some dark influence. These creatures had pale, sickly skin, sharp claws, and jagged teeth, with bloodshot eyes that glowed eerily in the dim light of the chamber.
Nayla, Tahir, Darnak, and Laria, alongside Yasuke, drew their blaster pistols, forming a defensive line. They knew they had to work together to repel the mad beasts. The creatures advanced with frenzied determination, and blaster shots rang out in the chamber as the team fought to repel the mad beasts. Each team member targeted the creatures with precise shots, aiming for their glowing eyes and vital spots to bring them down one by one.
As the team reached the stone door, Yasuke contemplated the intricate carvings, recognizing them as an ancient Jedi puzzle. However, to his surprise, the team produced a device that could decode these enigmatic markings. It emitted a soft, low hum as it scanned the symbols, revealing the correct sequence to unlock the door.
Yasuke furrowed his brow, puzzled by where they had acquired such a device, but they seemed well-prepared for their mission. With the door now open, they proceeded deeper into the chamber.
Nayla, the agile Rodian, turned to Yasuke and remarked, "Yasuke, have you ever seen technology like that decoding device? It's almost too convenient, isn't it?"
Yasuke nodded in agreement, "It is strange. I've encountered many Jedi puzzles, but I've never seen a device like this. It makes me wonder where they got it."
Tahir, the tall Twi'lek, chimed in, "Maybe they have some powerful connections. Or maybe this holocron is more important than we realize."
Darnak added, "Let's focus on the task at hand. We'll talk about pur device later. We're almost there."
The team approached the holocron, and once again, the mysterious device worked its magic, unlocking the ancient puzzle. Just as they were about to reach for the holocron, a sudden disturbance in the Force sent shivers down Yasuke's spine.
In an instant, Darth Maul materialized before them, ignited lightsaber blades glowing menacingly. Before anyone could react, he struck with incredible speed, cutting down Darnak and Liara in a swift, brutal attack. The room was filled with chaos, blaster bolts, and the hiss of lightsabers.
Yasuke clenched his lightsaber hilt, torn between his hidden Force abilities and the team's lack of knowledge about his true identity. The battle had taken a deadly turn, and they were now facing a formidable Sith Lord.
As Darth Maul stood there, the team was in shock. Nayla yelled in pain and fear, "We need to get out of here!"
Tahir, his blaster shaking in his hand, shouted, "Yasuke, do something!"
Yasuke, conflicted but determined, ignited his lightsaber, stepping forward. "Stay behind me, and keep your blasters ready. We need to buy time to escape."
The battle with Darth Maul was fierce, his red-bladed lightsaber clashing against Yasuke's own weapon. Pain and adrenaline coursed through Yasuke as he fought to protect his teammates, all the while hiding his true potential with the Force.
Darth Maul, his sinister face tattooed and his yellow eyes filled with malice, taunted them, "You Jedi scum are no match for the power of the dark side."
Nayla, still in pain and fear, shouted, "We can't fight him, we need to get out of here!"
Tahir, his blaster shaking in his hand, stammered, "Yasuke, we're outmatched! We can't take him on!"
Yasuke, his resolve unwavering, responded, "We need to find an opening and escape. Keep your wits about you, and follow my lead."
Darth Maul continued to press the attack, his cruel laughter echoing through the ancient chamber as he sought to strike down the team one by one.
In a flash of red and black, Darth Maul's lightsaber pierced through Tahir's chest, and the Twi'lek let out a blood-curdling scream as the searing pain coursed through his body. The Zabrak's crimson blade cauterized the wound instantly, preventing immediate blood loss.
Tahir, gasping for breath, fell to his knees, his azure skin paling as the life drained from him. With his last remaining strength, he looked into the eyes of his companions, a mixture of fear and sadness in his own. His voice, barely a whisper, trembled as he spoke his final words, "Survive..."
His lifeless body then slumped to the ground as maul stepped on him forcing his body into the dirt.
As Yasuke lunged at Maul, his lightsaber clashing against the Sith's, the Zabrak warrior blocked the attack effortlessly. Maul's sinister laughter echoed through the chamber as he taunted Yasuke.
Maul sneered, "You think you can challenge me, Jedi? You're no different from the others. You're weak!"
Yasuke, gritting his teeth, replied with determination, "I won't let you kill anyone else. You'll pay for what you've done!"
The two engaged in a fierce lightsaber duel, the red and orange blades flashing through the darkness of the catacombs.
Amidst the intense lightsaber duel with Maul, Yasuke's voice rang out, shouting to Nayla, "Run, Nayla, get out of here!"
Nayla hesitated for a moment, her Rodian eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. But the urgency in Yasuke's voice spurred her into action, and she turned and fled, sprinting back through the dark catacombs to escape the clutches of the menacing Sith Lord.
Maul blocked Yasuke's attack with ease, sending Yasuke flying backward. In a blur of motion, Maul utilized the dark side to Force speed toward Nayla. His malevolent intent was clear as he aimed to torment and torture the young Rodian with his dark powers.
Yasuke, though momentarily stunned from the encounter, knew he couldn't let Maul harm Nayla. He struggled to regain his footing and rushed back into the fray, determined to protect his remaining team member.
As Yasuke sprinted desperately toward the scene, he arrived just in time to witness the horrifying conclusion. Darth Maul's malevolent laughter echoed through the chamber as he subjected Nayla to unspeakable torment.
The young Rodian's screams filled the air, a chilling crescendo of terror and agony, before abruptly falling silent. It was a haunting silence, a grim testament to the sinister power of Darth Maul, who had snuffed out Nayla's life without remorse.
Yasuke Roared! His anger blinding him as he launched a furious assault on Darth Maul, hoping to turn the tide of the battle.
"Not again, I failed everyone again." He thought to himself tears of frustration rolling down his cheeks.
Yasuke pushed harder tapping into the force to swing his lightsaber faster desperate to make Maul pay.
"Fuck you!" Yasuke yelled swinging his lightsaber down with two hands
However, the Sith Lord's superior skills and experience quickly became evident. Maul effortlessly parried Yasuke's blows and countered with precise strikes, leaving Yasuke with lightsaber burns on his arms and thighs as he struggled to defend himself.
Despite his emotions boosting his strength temporarily, Yasuke found himself outclassed and outmatched by the formidable Sith. Maul's dark mastery of the Force and lightsaber combat left Yasuke battered and wounded, ultimately unable to overcome the Sith Lord's overwhelming power.
Steadily losing the duel Yasukes mind cleared of rage which granted him clarity to chang tactics, targeting various areas on Maul's body, aiming to slow him down by strikinv at his legs and arms, hoping to disarm or incapacitate the Sith. At times, he focused on Maul's hands, attempting to sever the connection between the Sith and his lightsaber.
Maul, on the other hand, played with Yasuke, barely flourishing as he batted away any attack sent his way while doubling the amount of close brushes Yasuke had with his lightsaber. He aimed to wear down Yasuke's mental strength, savoring his desperate struggle.
Yasuke's desperation to protect himself slowly gave Maul ground in the small chamber.
Maul's taunted Yasuke as his brutal assaults left Yasuke physically and mentally drained. The Sith lord reveled in his dominance, pushing Yasuke to his limits. As the battle raged on, it became increasingly apparent that Maul had the upper hand. Every strike, parry, and counterattack from the Sith was precise and calculated.
Yasuke struggled to defend himself and maintain his focus, his lightsaber skills and the Force sustaining him through sheer determination. The weight of his failure to protect them fueled his resolve, but Maul's power and experience were overwhelming.
The duel seemed endless, with Yasuke desperately fighting to stay on his feet, his limbs heavy and his movements slowing. Maul's laughter echoed in the chamber, mocking Yasuke's efforts.
In the midst of the fierce duel with Maul, Yasuke realized that his only chance to escape with the holocron was to create a diversion. He focused his energy and summoned the Force, using a powerful Force pull to snatch the holocron from its resting place. At the same time, he channeled the Force to destabilize the environment, causing a cave-in within the chamber.
The sudden collapse of rocks and debris sent a cascade of chaos through the chamber. Maul was momentarily caught off guard by the rumbling earth and falling debris, giving Yasuke a precious few seconds to make his escape. With the holocron in hand, he sprinted towards the nearest exit, determined to flee the collapsing cavern and the relentless Sith Lord.
As the dust settled, the passage behind him sealed shut, cutting off his pursuer. Yasuke emerged from the collapsing cavern into the open air, the holocron clutched tightly in his hand. He knew he had no time to rest, he had to escape now.
Yasuke with the last of his strength sprinted the Fighting Falcon, alone, his heart heavy with the weight of the recent losses and the knowledge he now possessed the holocron with no knowledge of who Darnak's buyer was.
As he stepped into the cockpit of his starfighter, Yasuke stowed the holocron under his seat igniting the starfighter's engines. The ship lifted off the surface of Tat'lun. With a heavy heart, he set a course for tatooine, heading back to Mos Eisley a known place he could hide.
The Fighting Falcon streaked into the starry expanse of space, leaving Tat'lun behind. Yasuke's journey was far from over, and the encounter of a sith lord from the legends he read made him wary of the future.
As the Fighting Falcon soared through space, Yasuke was oblivious to the presence of another ship trailing closely behind him. Unbeknownst to him, a pitch-black vessel, its design shrouded in secrecy, had also left the atmosphere of Tat'lun. The ship's occupants were hidden in the shadows, and their intentions remained veiled in mystery.
The unknown ship maintained a discreet distance, tracking Yasuke's every move. It was evident that someone or something had taken a keen interest in the Jedi and the holocron he carried.
Tatooine
Yasuke, Dofor, and the Fighting Falcon dropped out of hyperspace above Tatooine. As they entered the planet's atmosphere, heading towards Mos Eisley spaceport, Yasuke couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. His Force sensitivity allowed him to sense a disturbance, a force presence nearby. It was then that he spotted a long, sleek silver ship soaring past, disappearing into the vast dunes of the desert planet.
Unnerved by his previous encounter with Maul, Yasuke decided to alter his plans. Instead of landing at the spaceport as originally intended, he chose to touch down in a remote location, far from the prying eyes of Mos Eisley. He had learned the importance of caution from his previous experiences, and he didn't want to risk any unwanted attention.
The Tatooine suns beat down relentlessly as Yasuke, Dofor, and the Fighting Falcon came to a halt in the midst of the desolate sand dunes. With the holocron in hand, Yasuke decided to embark on a journey of introspection and learning, hidden away from the outside world. He knew that there were secrets within the Jedi holocron that he needed to unlock, and this barren, isolated location seemed the perfect place to do so.
As he began to meditate and explore the ancient knowledge contained within the holocron, Yasuke entered a light force trance to heal his wounds as he connected to the holocron. The vast desert offered a quiet and contemplative environment, as he listened to the shifting sands.
Deep within Yasukes force trance his force signature synchronized with the holocron opening it.
As Yasuke unlocked the holocron with the Force, the radiant blue holographic image of Jedi Master Satele Shan appeared before him. She was a striking figure with her distinct Jedi attire and composed demeanor. Her features were a testament to her wisdom and experience.
Satele Shan had an air of confidence and grace about her. She stood tall, her posture unwavering, displaying the poise of a seasoned Jedi Master. Her fair skin contrasted with the deep brown of her flowing, long hair. Her eyes, a piercing shade of blue, held a depth of knowledge and serenity.
Clad in traditional Jedi robes, she wore a tunic and cloak of muted earthy colors. A lightsaber hilt was clipped to her belt, an emblem of her dedication to the Jedi way. Satele Shan's presence exuded wisdom and strength, embodying the epitome of a Jedi Master.
Yasuke couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence as he looked upon the holographic visage of this legendary Jedi figure, understanding that he was in the presence of great wisdom and experience.
Jedi Master Satele Shan regarded Yasuke with a calm and wise expression before speaking, "Greetings, young one. I am Satele Shan, a Jedi Master of the Jedi Order. In my time, I held the position of Grand Master, overseeing the training and guidance of Jedi across the galaxy. I was known for my proficiency in both lightsaber combat and the Force, and I specialized in a unique dual lightsaber technique."
She continued, "I practiced the art of Jar'Kai, a lightsaber style that involves dual-wielding lightsabers. It allows for greater versatility and the ability to engage multiple opponents. My journey as a Jedi Master was dedicated to preserving peace and justice in the galaxy, as well as seeking knowledge and understanding of the Force. Now, young one, please introduce yourself. Tell me who you are and your aspirations as a Jedi."
Yasuke bowed slightly and replied, "I am Yasuke, a humble student of the Force. My journey as a Jedi is just beginning. I have a strong connection to the Force, and I seek to learn its ways and harness its power for the greater good. My primary goal is to bring peace and harmony to the galaxy and protect those who cannot protect themselves."
"I dont have a true lightsaber style just moves i developed to free my home planet from evil creatures." Yasuke added
He then asked, "Master Satele, how can I pass the test you mentioned earlier? What is it that you require of me, and how can I prove myself worthy of your wisdom and guidance?"
Satele Shan nodded and replied, "Yasuke, to pass the test, you must demonstrate your commitment to the Jedi way and your understanding of the Force. I will present you with a series of challenges that will test your knowledge, your ability to remain calm in the face of adversity, and your capacity to make wise and compassionate decisions."
She continued, "The first challenge will be a test of your knowledge. I will present you with scenarios and ethical dilemmas. Your task is to provide the most Jedi-like response. Remember, a Jedi's path is one of balance, peace, and selflessness."
Satele Shan then added, "Are you ready to begin, Yasuke?"
Satele Shan presented the scenario, and Yasuke pondered it for a moment. He then replied, "In this situation, I would use the Force to subtly guide the civilians away from danger, ensuring their safety. Once they are at a distance, I would approach the bandits calmly, with an outstretched hand and an offer of dialogue. I would ask them to consider the consequences of their actions, urging them to lay down their weapons and seek a more peaceful path. If they refuse, I would defend myself and the innocent, but only as a last resort."
Satele Shan nodded in approval. "Your approach reflects the essence of a Jedi, Yasuke. Seeking non-violent solutions and protecting the innocent whenever possible. Remember, a Jedi's strength lies not just in combat, but in wisdom and compassion as well."
Satele Shan considered his answer and nodded with approval. "A wise choice, Yasuke. Using the Force to protect the innocent and seeking a peaceful resolution is a hallmark of a true Jedi. Now, let's move on to the next scenario."
Satele Shan continued, "Now, Yasuke, let's explore another scenario. Imagine you're in a position of leadership within the Jedi Order, and a conflict arises between two Jedi Knights. They each have a different interpretation of a crucial mission. How would you mediate this conflict and maintain the unity of the Order?"
Yasuke thought for a moment before responding, "In such a situation, I would first invite both Jedi Knights to a council or discussion. I would encourage open dialogue, giving each of them the opportunity to express their perspectives and concerns. I would remind them of the Jedi Code and the greater mission's importance, emphasizing unity and cooperation over personal differences."
Satele Shan smiled, pleased with Yasuke's answer. "You show wisdom and diplomacy, Yasuke. Mediating conflicts and maintaining harmony within the Jedi Order is a vital role for its leaders. Remember, a Jedi Master should be both a skilled warrior and a wise peacemaker."
Satele Shan nodded, acknowledging Yasuke's readiness. "For your final challenge, Yasuke, let's delve into a situation that demands both your combat skills and your wisdom. Imagine you're facing a powerful Sith Lord on a mission to protect a valuable artifact. You're the last line of defense, and the Sith Lord is determined to claim the artifact. How would you approach this confrontation, keeping both the artifact and the safety of others in mind?"
Yasuke face fell remembering his botched mission against the sith lord Maul that killed his entire team, br also thougnt about the rage he displayed and how it was not the Jedi way. He thought carefull about what he could have done differently before responding, "In such a critical moment, I would first ensure the artifact's protection by using the Force to create a protective barrier around it. Then, I would attempt to engage the Sith Lord in conversation, seeking any potential common ground or understanding. If the Sith Lord remains hostile, I would do my utmost to neutralize the threat, aiming to disable their power while minimizing harm. My primary goal would be to safeguard the artifact and prevent its misuse."
Satele Shan nodded with approval. "Yasuke, you've demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the balance between combat and diplomacy, and your dedication to protecting the artifact and preserving life is commendable. You've passed the final challenge."
As Satele Shan began her teachings, Yasuke was immersed in a world of knowledge and skills. He learned about the Force, its light and dark sides, and how to harness it for various abilities. He also delved into lightsaber combat, starting with the basic forms, stances, and the importance of balance and precision.
Yasuke was eager to learn and asked questions to clarify his understanding. "Master Shan, can you explain the different lightsaber forms and their purposes in more detail? And how does one choose the most suitable form for a given situation?"
Satele Shan smiled at Yasuke's curiosity. "Of course, Yasuke. There are seven classic lightsaber forms, each with its unique characteristics. Shii-Cho, for example, is the most basic form and emphasizes wide, sweeping strikes. Ataru is an acrobatic form that incorporates jumps and flips for agility. Soresu focuses on defense and deflection, while Djem So emphasizes powerful strikes and counterattacks."
Yasuke listened attentively and continued, "How do I know which form to use in a given situation, Master Shan?"
Satele Shan replied, "The choice of form depends on the context. For instance, if you're outnumbered, you might opt for Soresu to withstand multiple opponents. In one-on-one combat, Djem So could be more effective. As you advance in your training, you'll develop the intuition to select the most appropriate form based on the circumstances."
Yasuke continued his training under the guidance of Satele Shan, steadily improving his understanding of the Force and his lightsaber skills. As the days passed, he asked more questions to refine his abilities.
"Master Shan, how do I enhance my connection to the Force? Are there specific exercises or meditations I should practice?"
Satele Shan nodded. "Indeed, there are methods to deepen your connection. Regular meditation, focusing on your breath and your inner self, will help. Additionally, engaging in contemplation on the Force's nature and your role in it can strengthen your connection. Remember, patience and discipline are essential in this journey."
Yasuke absorbed this information and inquired further, "And what about enhancing my lightsaber combat skills, Master Shan? Are there advanced forms I should aim to learn?"
Satele Shan replied, "Yes, there are advanced forms like Ataru, Shien, and Niman. Ataru builds on agility and acrobatics, Shien emphasizes saber deflection and redirection, while Niman combines various elements. As you progress in your training, you can explore these advanced forms to refine your combat abilities."
Satele Shan continued her guidance, leading Yasuke through various exercises and meditations to enhance his connection to the Force. She demonstrated the use of the Force to manipulate objects, emphasizing control and precision.
"Yasuke," she said, "in your training, it's crucial to maintain a calm and focused mind. Let the Force flow through you. Feel its presence, and with a gentle touch, guide it to your will."
Yasuke followed her lead, attempting to lift a large san dune while keeping its form intact using the Force. It trembled for a moment, then the entire sand dune floated 20 feet in the air before lowering gently merging back with the sand. Satele Shan nodded in approval.
"Good, you're making progress," she acknowledged. "Remember, the Force is your ally, and with time and practice, you'll achieve even greater mastery."
"Now that youve made progress with your precision with the Force, its time to choose a lightsaber style learn." Master Shan said.
"I am proficient with all lightsaber styles, which would you like to learn?". She finished, looking intently as Yasuke judging his choice.
Yasuke thought for a moment before responding, "I'd like to start with Form III, Soresu, the defensive lightsaber form. It seems like a good foundation for control and protection. What do you think, Master Satele?"
Satele Shan smiled and agreed, "An excellent choice, Yasuke. Soresu emphasizes defense and is a wise beginning. We'll start by mastering the fundamentals of Soresu, ensuring your ability to protect yourself and others."
They began their training in Soresu, focusing on footwork, precise blade control, and the intricate maneuvers that would allow Yasuke to deflect blaster bolts and defend against lightsaber attacks effectively, With Satele Shan's guidance, Yasuke's was progresing at a steady rate.
2 days later
With dedicated training, Yasuke's skill in the Soresu form improved. His footwork became more precise, and his movements were more fluid. He learned to anticipate and deflect blaster bolts with ease, creating an almost impenetrable shield of defense with his lightsaber.
Satele Shan provided guidance, helping him understand the intricacies of Soresu. "Remember, Yasuke, the key to Soresu is patience and economy of motion. You don't need to waste energy on extravagant flourishes. Keep your focus on protecting yourself and others. Let the Force flow through you."
As the training continued, Yasuke's confidence in Soresu grew. He could now effectively fend off multiple opponents and protect those in need. Satele Shan was pleased with his progress and said, "You're doing well, Yasuke. With more practice, you'll become a true master of defense."
Deep into their training Master Shan senses a dark prescence moving to act.
"Yasuke! do you sense that?" Satele Shan said in alarm rousing her student from his meditation as her holocron shook violently.
Yasuke furrowed his brow and tightened his already closed eyes. Reaching out with the force across the dessert Yasuke flinched out of his meditation a cold sweat running down his face.
"It's him, It's Maul.." Yasuke muttered images of their previous encounter on his mind. He stood up from his meditation, using the force to grab his lightsaber stored in a sand made caninet structure held together by the force that the holocron was placed on.
"Master Shan, I've encountered this sith before. He destoyed me, i was no match for him." he said looking straight into her eyes his fists clenching remembering his cruel laughter and torture of his comrades.
"Yasuke, you must stay focused and calm," the voice of Master Shan warned. "The dark presence you felt is a danger to both of us. If this individual gets their hands on my holocron he can steal the secrets of the Jedi knowledge stored in here. Our training is not yet complete, but you have shown great potential, and I believe in you." She finished a bright smile on her face directed towards him.
Yasuke nodded, determination burning in his eyes. He had come a long way since his initial encounter with Maul, and he believed in his skills and the wisdom he had gained from Master Shan. He tightened his grip on his lightsaber, ready to face this challenge head-on.
"I won't let him hurt anyone." Yasuke declared with unwavering resolve, fueled by the belief that Master Shan had in him. He was prepared to confront Maul once more, drawing on the knowledge and teachings he had received from the holocron. Picking up the holocron from the sandy table construct, he placed it in his pouch on his left side.
Yasuke raced across the desert, determined to confront Maul and put an end to the dark presence that threatened not only himself but the galaxy as well. The twin suns beat down on him, casting long shadows in the vast expanse of sand.
As he approached the location where he sensed Maul's presence, Yasuke's heart pounded with a mix of fear and determination. He knew that this confrontation would test his newfound skills and the wisdom imparted by Master Shan. He gripped his lightsaber hilt, ready for the battle ahead.
The hot desert wind whipped across the dunes, carrying the echoes of a familiar, menacing laughter. Yasuke's jaw tightened, his resolve deepening as he prepared to face the embodiment of darkness once again.
Nubian ship Tatooine Dessert
With his lightsaber in hand, Yasuke rushed to the scene where Darth Maul was locked in combat with another Jedi, a stranger to Yasuke, wielding a green lightsaber. The sight of Maul's blood-red lightsaber sent a shiver down his spine, but he quickly focused his thoughts, centering himself.
As Yasuke entered the fray, he intercepted Maul's strike, his lightsaber clashing with the Sith's. Maul taunted him with a cruel laugh. "The pathetic Jedi returns," he jeered before launching a furious assault.
Yasuke, relying on his newfound Soresu training, met Maul's attacks with expert parries and precise blocks. Maul's strikes came fast and unrelenting, but Yasuke's calm and steady defense held firm. The Jedi with the green lightsaber seized the opportunity and shouted, "Young one, get on the ship!"
In that moment, Yasuke used the Force to manipulate the sand beneath his feet, creating a burst of sandy smoke that enveloped him. He vanished from Maul's sight, only to reappear on the ramp of the waiting ship. With a swift motion, the ramp closed behind him, and Yasuke was safely aboard. The battle continued outside, but Yasuke had heeded the other Jedi's call for retreat.
Yasuke stepped inside the ship and was greeted by the sight of the two Jedi, one a wise-looking master with a greying beard and the other a younger, more vibrant padawan.
Yasuke introduced himself with a friendly smile. "I'm Yasuke, and it's an honor to meet all of you. I'm new to this galaxy and have much to learn."
Qui-Gon Jinn nodded and gestured to the others. "I am Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and this is my Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. And this young one is Anakin Skywalker."
Anakin greeted Yasuke with enthusiasm. "Hi, Yasuke! You're a Jedi too? That's so cool!"
Yasuke smiled at Anakin, "nice to meet you too young one." he replies reaching his hand out to shake Anakins.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Padawan, leaned forward, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Yasuke, you mentioned that you're from a very distant world. Can you tell us more about the place you come from?"
Yasuke nodded. "I hail from a remote world in the Unknown Regions of this galaxy. It's a place far removed from the core worlds, and the people there have their own ways and beliefs. The existence of the Jedi and the Republic was mostly unknown to my people until recently."
Qui-Gon Jinn nodded, his wise gaze fixed on Yasuke. "Your journey here must have been extraordinary. We look forward to learning from each other and exploring the depths of the Force together."
Qui-Gon Jinn's penetrating gaze seemed to pierce through Yasuke's soul as he inquired, "Yasuke, you've encountered the Sith before. Can you share more about that experience?"
Yasuke hesitated for a moment, contemplating how much to reveal. "It was a while ago. A Sith Lord, Darth Maul, crossed my path. He was ruthless and powerful, a true embodiment of the dark side. We had a battle, and I barely escaped with my life. The encounter has left a lasting impression on me, one that I've been trying to understand."
Qui-Gon nodded solemnly. "The Sith are a dangerous threat to peace and balance in the galaxy. We have our own experiences with them. In fact, we are currently on a mission to the Jedi Council on Coruscant, seeking their guidance on a separate matter they very well may be connected. "
Yasuke spread his senses throughout the ship feeling the anger, desperation and sadness.
"Master Qui-Gon, what is your mission here?" he asked confusion marring his features.
Qui-Gon Jinn leaned back, considering Yasuke's question. "Of course. This ship is called the Nubian Yacht I, and we're currently on a mission to Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. We have discovered a plot on the planet of Naboo, and we need to seek guidance from the Jedi Council on how to proceed."
Obi-Wan Kenobi added, "Naboo is currently under the occupation of the Trade Federation. Our mission there took an unexpected turn, and we had to retreat, leaving the planet in turmoil. Now, our goal is to report these events to the Jedi Council, who will decide our next course of action."
Yasuke absorbed this information, his curiosity growing. "This is all so much to take in. I've heard tales of the Jedi and the Sith, but I never thought I'd have the chance to meet you and be part of something this significant. How can I assist you on this mission?"
Qui-Gon Jinn smiled, appreciating Yasuke's eagerness. "We value your willingness to help. The Force works in mysterious ways, bringing people together when they're needed. Your experience with the Sith might prove valuable. For now, we'll continue our journey to Coruscant and brief the Council on our findings. When the time comes, we'll discuss how you can contribute."
As their conversation unfolded, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi became more intrigued by Yasuke's knowledge and skills. Qui-Gon decided to continue with introductions.
"Yasuke, you should meet Queen Amidala, who's onboard this ship. She's the leader of Naboo and a key figure in our mission," Qui-Gon said.
Yasuke nodded, and they proceeded to the queen's chambers. Queen Amidala, dressed in her elaborate regal attire, welcomed them graciously. Yasuke introduced himself and mentioned the request to have his ship, the Fighting Falcon, follow them to Coruscant.
Amidala considered the request and nodded in agreement. "I believe the Jedi may be the allies we need in these troubled times. If they trust you, I trust you."
Qui-Gon expressed his gratitude, and they continued discussing their journey to Coruscant. As they walked and conversed, Yasuke grabbed his comlink before radioing his astromech droid dofor. "Dofor, I need you to pilot the Fighting falcon. Follow my signal we're going to Coruscant." He said getting a few beeps in replying for the connection cut.
Coruscant
As the ship made its way to Coruscant, Yasuke couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and anticipation. The bustling city-planet stretched out before him as the skyline of Coruscant loomed closer. Soon, the ship landed in the heart of the city, where senators and members of the Jedi Council awaited their arrival.
The ramp lowered, and Yasuke followed Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Queen Amidala as they disembarked. Senators and diplomats from various worlds gathered to greet them, and Yasuke sensed the significance of the moment.
Among the waiting crowd, Yasuke noticed several Jedi, their presence strong in the Force. They were members of the Jedi Council, and Yasuke felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. This was a pivotal moment in his journey, and he couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead in the heart of the Republic.
Yasuke and the Jedi were guided through the grand corridors of the Jedi Temple. The walls were adorned with ancient tapestries, and the soft hum of the Force resonated in the air.
Master Windu, known for his unwavering seriousness, nodded towards Yasuke. "We will discuss your experiences with the Sith further. It is a matter of great concern."
Master Yoda, a wise and ancient presence, smiled gently at Yasuke. "A new ally, we have found. Share your tale please, if you will."
Yasuke started his tale, his voice filled with the weight of the past, "Maul was relentless. He sought a Jedi holocron, and his cruelty knew no bounds. He delighted in torturing my comrades, his laughter echoing in my memory. His pursuit of the holocron was unwavering, and his mastery of the dark side was terrifying."
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan exchanged concerned glances. The gravity of their mission seemed to deepen, as they were now aware of the danger Maul posed not only to Yasuke but to the Jedi Order as a whole. The council was taking this matter seriously, knowing that they needed to confront this Sith threat with caution and unity.
The Jedi Council turned its attention to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, urging them to recount their experiences since the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo. Qui-Gon, a seasoned Jedi Master, began to narrate their encounters, the challenges faced, and the mysterious presence of Darth Maul.
Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon's dedicated Padawan, added his insights, describing their battles with the Sith Lord on Tatooine. They detailed their mission's purpose, the queen's quest for help, and their decision to head to Coruscant for counsel.
Mace Windu leaned forward, his expression grave. "This Sith presence is more troubling than we could have imagined. The holocron in his possession could contain crucial knowledge. We must recover it, but we cannot underestimate this Sith's power. Yasuke, your experience and the insight you've shared are invaluable. We will consider the best course of action."
Yoda, his wisdom evident in his speech, chimed in, "Warned, we have been. Powerful, this Sith is. Careful, we must be. More information needed, we have. Observe him, we will."
The council members exchanged concerned glances, their decision to take this matter seriously evident. The potential threat Maul posed were at the forefront of their minds.
"Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan stay on standby you will be needed to protect the queen. For now leave the chambers so we may speak to Yasuke." Mace windu stated.
Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Anakin exited the council chambers, leaving Yasuke to face the council alone. Mace Windu, Yoda, and the others focused their attention on him, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concern.
Yoda, with his characteristic wisdom, spoke first. "A unique situation, this is. Know much, you do not, of our ways."
Mace Windu continued, "The Sith is a grave concern. We must learn more about him and his intentions.
The council decided to proceed cautiously, sensing the potential but also the uncertainty surrounding Yasuke. Mace Windu spoke, "We want you to join our order but before we consider you as a formal member, we need to test your abilities and determine your compatibility with our ways."
Yoda added, "A test of your skills and your commitment, this will be. Prove yourself, you must."
The council's decision meant that Yasuke had a challenging trial ahead of him, a test to demonstrate his worthiness.
Yasuke nodded with determination. "I understand, Masters. I'm willing to undergo the test and prove myself."
Mace Windu then explained, "Your trial will involve facing the darkest aspects of the Force. We will guide you, but you must confront your own inner demons and emerge stronger."
Yoda spoke next, "Only through this path, a Jedi you can become."
As the conversation continued, Yasuke felt apprehension his task felt too larger.
As the Jedi Council focused their combined Force abilities on Yasuke, he closed his eyes and began to feel an intense surge of energy. His inner being was being laid bare for them to see. As the manifestation of his potential darkness emerged, it took on a menacing form, reminiscent of the Nightstalkers he had faced on his home planet, Noduu. The creature bore a twisted, malevolent expression, its eyes glowing with an eerie, crimson light.
Yoda's voice echoed in Yasuke's mind, "Face your darkness, you must."
With newfound resolve, Yasuke stepped forward, mentally confronting the dark manifestation. It snarled and lunged at him, its claws aimed at his heart. Yasuke raised his lightsaber and met the creature's attack head-on.
In the midst of his internal battle against the manifestation of his potential darkness, Yasuke began to realize a profound truth. He understood that the only way to overcome this darkness was not through resistance or denial, but by accepting it as a part of himself. With this newfound insight, he lowered his lightsaber and reached out to the dark manifestation.
"I understand you," Yasuke said with determination. "You are a part of me, and I won't reject you."
As he extended his hand toward the dark manifestation, it slowly began to change. The menacing expression softened, and the crimson glow in its eyes faded. It transformed into a more ethereal, shadowy figure, no longer an embodiment of his potential darkness, but rather a representation of his inner struggles and growth.
As Yasuke received his Padawan braid, the council members congratulated him, recognizing his inner strength and commitment. The chamber was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Master Yoda, his eyes twinkling with wisdom, spoke first, "Passed your test, you have, young Padawan Yasuke. A new path you walk now, and much to learn, you still have."
Yasuke bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Master Yoda. I'm honored to be a part of the Jedi Order."
Master Windu, his tone firm and reassuring, added, "The Force is strong within you, Yasuke. Your journey as a Jedi will be one of growth and discovery. Always remember to stay true to the Jedi Code."
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, with warm smiles, stepped forward to congratulate their new companion. Yasuke felt a deep sense of belonging and purpose among these wise and experienced Jedi.
As the council deliberated, Queen Amidala expressed her determination to return to Naboo and rally her people. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were tasked with accompanying her on this mission, and the council made a significant decision. They turned their attention to Yasuke, acknowledging his readiness to become a Padawan.
Mace Windu spoke with a tone of authority, "Yasuke, we have a critical mission for you. You are to accompany Queen Amidala, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi back to Naboo. Your role will be to protect her and assist in any way necessary to liberate her planet."
The council's decision was a testament to their trust in Yasuke's abilities. Yasuke bowed in acceptance, grateful for the opportunity to serve and to learn alongside seasoned Jedi.
With the roles assigned and a new sense of purpose, Yasuke, along with the Queen and his fellow Jedi, began preparations for their journey back to Naboo.
As they prepared for their mission, Qui-Gon Jinn approached Yasuke. "This is a crucial mission, my young Padawan. Remember, the path of a Jedi is one of selflessness and responsibility. We must protect Queen Amidala and help her reclaim her world."
Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was now Yasuke's fellow Padawan, chimed in, "We're a team, and we have each other's backs. Trust in the Force, Yasuke. It will guide us."
Yasuke nodded in acknowledgment. "I will do my best, Masters. I'm honored to be a part of this mission and eager to learn from both of you."
With their preparations complete, the group departed Coruscant, As they reached the space he activated his hyperdrive causing the tunnel to form.
Naboo
The journey to Naboo was smooth, and Yasuke marveled at the galaxy's vastness from the cockpit of the Fighting Falcon. He also spent time discussing various Jedi principles with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, soaking in their wisdom.
As they dropped out of hyperspace near Naboo, the regal landscape of the planet came into view. Queen Amidala was resolute in her mission, and Yasuke couldn't help but admire her determination. They guided their ships closer to the planet only to spot the blockade that had grown in strength since their departure.
Yasuke in the Fighting Falcon opened his starfighter coms making a connection to the Nubian Yacht.
"Master Qui-Gon, The blockade is heaviest in the north snd east sector." Yasuke said over the comms his holomap up in front of his control console showing red dots of the enemy frigate battle positions.
"I have a plan, the enemy hasn't deployed any starfighters in the west quadrant. I'll take point and attack the engines of the frigrate here at this position." Yasuke continued sending the map battle data to Qui-Gon showing the lead frigrate on the west side. "Once that frigrate starts to lose power use the full thrust of the Nubian to enter the naboos atmosphere." Yasuke finished outlying his plan.
Qui-Gon Jinn nodded in approval as he received Yasuke's tactical assessment. "Excellent plan, Yasuke. You have a talent for battlefield tactics. We will follow your lead. May the Force be with you," Qui-Gon responded before closing the comms.
With the plan in place, Yasuke piloted the Fighting Falcon toward the Trade Federation frigate on the west side of the blockade.
As the Fighting Falcon accelerated to 130 MGLT, it sliced through the vacuum of space with remarkable speed. Yasuke expertly maneuvered the starfighter, guiding it toward the Trade Federation frigate from above. The ship shuddered as he initiated a rapid descent toward the target. The roaring engines of the Falcon rumbled, creating an ominous sound in the void of space.
The Trade Federation frigate loomed closer, its colossal form filling the viewport. Yasuke's heart raced as he focused on his target, the frigate's engines. He knew that precision was crucial for their plan to succeed.
As the gap closed, Yasuke aligned his sights with the frigate's engines, preparing to unleash a devastating attack. With a deep breath and unwavering resolve, he squeezed the trigger, sending blaster bolts streaking toward the heart of the Trade Federation's power. The deadly energy struck its mark, causing a chain reaction of explosions in the frigate's engine compartments.
The enemy ship shuddered, smoke and debris billowing from its wounded engines. Yasuke quickly veered away from the impending explosion, ensuring that the shrapnel wouldn't harm him starfighter. The Trade Federation frigate, now crippled and powerless, began a slow drift away from the blockade, creating an opening in the enemy's defenses.
With the first step of their plan successful, Yasuke guided the Fighting Falcon to join the Nubian Yacht as they made their swift descent into Naboo's atmosphere, inching closer to their mission to liberate the planet.
Naboo
As the ships descended through the atmosphere, the lush green landscape of their beautiful homeworld spread out below. Queen Amidala and her council members discussed their strategy. She explained her plan to seek the aid of the Gungans, a native species of Naboo, to draw out the Trade Federation's battle droids onto an open field.
"Once the Trade Federation's droids are drawn out, we can strike at their control ship and disable their army," Queen Amidala explained.
Yasuke nodded in agreement, understanding the necessity of this plan. He had seen firsthand the Trade Federation's ruthless tactics and the oppression they had brought to Naboo. Working together with the Gungans, they aimed to free their planet from this occupation.
Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi also recognized the importance of this mission, and they discussed the logistics of coordinating with the Gungan leader, Boss Nass.
The Nubian Yacht and the Fighting Falcon touched down on Naboo's surface.
Jar Jar Binks spoke up, "Meesa show you where the Gungans are. Follow me, okey-day?"
Amidala nodded and replied, "Thank you, Jar Jar. Your help is much appreciated."
Yasuke, ever curious about the Gungans, couldn't resist asking, "Jar Jar, can you tell us more about the Gungans and their leader, Boss Nass?"
Qui-Gon chimed in, "Yes, we'd like to learn about their ways and culture before we meet with them."
As they followed Jar Jar through the lush and mysterious landscape of Naboo, they hoped that their meeting with the Gungans would bring about a valuable alliance in the battle to come.
Jar Jar continued to provide insights into Gungan culture as they reached the deserted city, his long ears twitching with excitement. "Dis is where weesa gungans go to hide when tings get bad," he explained.
Amidala, with a determined look, turned to her companions and said, "Now, for the second part of our plan. We must capture Viceroy Gunray and force him to sign a treaty that will end this occupation."
Yasuke, eager to help, inquired, "How do you plan to capture the Viceroy, Your Highness?"
Qui-Gon added, "It won't be easy. The Trade Federation's battle droids will defend him fiercely."
As they discussed the details of their mission, Yasuke couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation. The fate of Naboo and its people hung in the balance, and he was determined to do his part in this critical endeavor.
Amidala outlined the plan further, "We'll need to split into two groups. One group, led by Yasuke and I, will confront the Viceroy directly. We will free the pilots being held hostage to attack the control ship, Our security volunteers will pressure the viceroy giving us a goldenopportunity. ."
Qui-Gon nodded in agreement, "Our primary duty is to protect the Queen, not fight a war."
Obi-Wan added, "We'll ensure your safety while you confront he Viceroy."
Yasuke approached Queen Amidala and said, "Your Highness, I must express my concern. While our plan is sound, I believe I can be of greater assistance by coordinating and supporting the Gungan forces in the upcoming battle against the Trade Federation's droids. My experience in combat and the Force will be invaluable to them."
Amidala considered his words for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Very well, Yasuke. Your dedication to the Gungans will not be forgotten. May the Force be with you on the battlefield."
The group, led by Jar Jar, arrived at an open grotto instead of the underwater city they expected. Battle droids had attacked the Gungans, forcing them to abandon their city.
Yasuke looked around at the displaced Gungan forces and asked, "What happened here, Jar Jar?"
Jar Jar's face wore a solemn expression as he replied, "Dreadful times, it is. Battle droids chased us out of our home, so now we bein' here in this open place."
Queen Amidala stepped forward, her resolve unwavering, and said, "We've come to ask for your help, Boss Nass, in fighting the Trade Federation."
Jar Jar nodded and gestured for them to follow, guiding them to meet with Boss Nass, who was visibly distressed by the current state of his people.
As they arrived at the open grotto, they noticed that the Gungans were not mobilizing for battle. Instead, there was an air of uncertainty and unease among them.
Yasuke asked Jar Jar, "What's going on here? Why aren't the Gungans preparing for battle?"
Jar Jar sighed and replied, "Meesa afraid that Gungans not be ready to fight. Battle droids scared them away from the city, and now, they not sure what to do."
Queen Amidala stepped forward, her determination unwavering, and said, "We've come to seek your help in facing the Trade Federation's droids. We need your assistance to draw them out onto the open field."
The Gungan leader, Boss Nass, looked thoughtful but hesitated.
Queen Amidala and Yasuke took a step forward, facing Boss Nass and the assembly of Gungans. Queen Amidala began to speak, her words filled with sincerity and conviction. "Boss Nass, I understand your concerns, but we share a common enemy in the Trade Federation. Together, we can make a stand, and your courage and strength can make all the difference. We ask for your help in this crucial battle."
As she finished, Yasuke stepped forward, bowing his head respectfully. "I, too, humbly ask for your trust and cooperation. We've come to free the people of naboo, that includes gungans as well. I promise to stand with you on the battlefield. The Gungans are a strong and noble race, and your bravery can inspire hope in this dark time."
Boss Nass regarded them for a moment, and then, after a tense pause, he finally nodded. "Meesa think yousa both have good hearts. Wesa help."
The Gungans began to mobilize, As the Queen made her preparations to sneak into the capital city of theed.
Yasuke found a moment to speak with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan amidst the preparations for the upcoming battle. "Masters, I can sense the presence of the Sith nearby. If they choose to intervene, it will complicate matters further. What should our strategy be in case they reveal themselves?"
Qui-Gon Jinn nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, Yasuke. The Sith are unpredictable. Our priority is still to protect Queen Amidala, but we must be vigilant. If the Sith reveal themselves, we'll need to confront them while keeping the Queen safe."
Obi-Wan Kenobi added, "We'll do our best to handle the situation, but you've had direct encounters with the Sith. Your insights will be valuable. Keep a close eye on any signs of their presence."
Yasuke nodded as his eyes lingered on small Anakin Skywalker in the back of the group.
"Is it safe for him to be here?" He asked nodding his head in that direction.
"Dont you worry about him, Stay focused on what you need to be doing, we'll take care of Anakin." Qui-Gon finished with finality getting Yasuke to blink before slowly nodding his head.
"I understand Master Qui-Gon." Yasuke said heading off to join the gungans who had started loading shield generators and weird blue orb like balls.
Boss Nass introduced Yasuke to Roos Tarpals, the Gungan's top captain, who would be the key liaison between Yasuke and the grand Gungan army. Roos Tarpals had a strong presence and a stern expression, indicative of his experience in leading Gungan warriors.
Boss Nass explained, "Roos Tarpals, he da one who'll make sure da Gungans follow your orders, Jedi. We use da Gungan whistle to give commands. You work together."
Roos Tarpals gave a nod of acknowledgement, his booming voice carried a sense of authority. "We follow you, Jedi. Let's protect our home. You give da commands, I'll make sure our warriors understand."
As the Gungans began to mobilize and head to the battlefield, Yasuke coordinated with Roos Tarpals, learning the nuances of the Gungan whistle and working out a system for issuing commands.
Battlefield
Yasuke, standing beside Roos Tarpals, led the Gungan army out to the battlefield. The vast open plains of Naboo were now host to a massive showdown between the Gungans and the Trade Federation's battle droids. The rumble of their army echoed across the landscape as they prepared to defend their homeland.
Yasuke's calm and determined presence was felt by the Gungan warriors, boosting their morale. Yasuke turned to Roos, "Activate the shield generators, have groups 17 and 31 take the left edge of the shields pointing their guns at a 45 degree angle towards the enemy. Then bave groups 71, 43 and 5 take the right edge with guns pointed in the opposite direction. I want all our riders to the northeast of our position, when the battlesdroids enter the shield I want all rider's to ride fast toward the tank positons using booma to sabatoge them in 2 strafing runs. After that's complete retreat behind the shield we'll need the retreat vector open." Yasuke finished giving his order to Roos who only nodded thoughtfully before blowing complicated sequences into the gungan whistle, the army dispersing to follow their goven orders.
As Yasuke's orders were relayed through the Gungan whistle, the warriors sprang into action. Shield generators hummed to life, and the defensive line formed an impenetrable barrier. Groups 17 and 31 positioned themselves on the left edge, while groups 71, 43, and 5 took their positions on the right edge, their blasters trained on the approaching battle droids.
Yasuke's attention turned to the riders as they gathered to the northeast of their position, readying their boomas. The energy and anticipation in the air were palpable as they prepared for the upcoming strafing runs.
The Trade Federation's battle droids marched relentlessly, their ranks seemingly endless. Blaster fire erupted as they reached the Gungan defensive line, their bolts impacting against the energy shields. But the Gungans held firm, their shields absorbing the onslaught.
As the droids moved closer, the riders mounted their creatures, ready to execute their daring strafing runs. Yasuke watched with a determined expression as the riders charged, releasing boomas in precise arcs that struck the tanks and disruptor beams with devastating accuracy. Explosions rippled through the droid ranks, creating chaos and confusion among their lines.
The riders then swiftly retreated behind the shield, as Yasuke had ordered, and the Trade Federation's droids struggled to regain their composure. The Gungan warriors had successfully disrupted their advance, and the battlefield's dynamics had shifted in their favor.
The sound of the Gungan whistle continued to guide the troops, maintaining coordination as they executed Yasuke's battle plan. His strategic thinking and ability to lead the Gungans were proving essential in the fight against the Trade Federation's onslaught.
As the Trade Federation's battle droids continued their relentless advance, Yasuke's strategic mind was in full motion. He turned to Roos, who was diligently conveying his orders through the Gungan whistle.
"Roos, get groups 10, 56, and 19 to support the left flank," Yasuke directed, his voice resolute. "They should retreat 40 meters back and then help hold the line. We can't afford to give an inch on that side. Riders on their kaadu, I need you to address the wave encroaching on our right flank."
Roos promptly relayed these commands through the whistle, and the Gungan troops moved with precision, adjusting their positions to adapt to the evolving battlefield.
Furthermore, Yasuke continued, "We need two falumpassets to pull the large boombas to the middle position. We're creating a killzone when the battle droids inevitably enter. Make sure that's coordinated."
The Gungan warriors executed his orders flawlessly, their movements synchronized with a well-practiced choreography.
As the battle raged on, Yasuke's well-planned strategy had held the Trade Federation's battle droids at bay, but the relentless waves of enemies were taking their toll on the Gungan forces. The once-unyielding shield wall started to show cracks as Gungan warriors fell in droves.
Yasuke watched with a heavy heart as some of the Gungans who had followed his orders without hesitation now lay lifeless on the battlefield. He turned to Roos Tarpals, his voice tinged with urgency.
"Roos, we need to adapt. Have groups 10, 56, and 19 reinforce the right flank. Riders on kaadu, rally and form a secondary line of defense. We'll retreat the front line step by step."
Roos relayed the orders through the Gungan whistle, but the atmosphere was tense. The Gungans, brave but outnumbered, were paying a heavy price for their courage.
Yasuke knew that the situation was dire, and the battle was far from over. In the face of overwhelming odds, he resolved to fight on, determined to protect his newfound allies and bring an end to the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo.
The situation went from bad to worse as the Trade Federation managed to destroy the shield generators, leaving the Gungan forces vulnerable to the enemy tanks. The battlefield was in chaos as the Trade Federation army unleashed a barrage of fire from a distance.
Yasuke saw the devastating turn of events and realized that a full retreat was the only way to save as many Gungan lives as possible. He knew that it was a painful decision, but it was the only choice. Yasuke ordered a strategic withdrawal, hoping to regroup and reassess the situation later.
As the Gungan warriors fell back, Yasuke took a stand at the forefront of the battle, using his lightsaber to deflect incoming blaster shots and create a temporary barrier for the retreating forces.
Yasuke jumped to the frontlines his lightsaber held in front of him, he activated force valor accelerating to the front lines to protect the retreating gungans.
Yasuke's was unwavering as he used his lightsaber to create a defensive wall of spinning orange energy, deflecting blaster bolts aimed at the retreating Gungans. His form was impeccable, and his movements were a blur as he moved down the line, protecting their backs from the relentless onslaught of the Trade Federation's battledroids.
The augmented speed and stamina granted by Force Valor allowed Yasuke to cover a large section of the retreat, his lightsaber blade dancing through the air to intercept and redirect the red blaster bolts. He managed to destroy several battledroids, but the battle was far from won.
Despite his heroic efforts, the cost was still high. Gungan warriors continued to fall, their bodies littering the battlefield. Yasuke's heart ached for their sacrifice, but he knew that the retreat was necessary to regroup and plan their next move.
As the battledroids closed in on Yasuke, their blasters trained on him from all sides, it seemed he might be overwhelmed. The situation grew dire, and for a brief moment, it looked as though the darkness would triumph. But then, a triumphant battle cry pierced the air, and to Yasuke's surprise and relief, the Gungans returned.
Led by the courageous Roos Tarpals, the Gungans charged back into the fray, their boomas and energy balls causing chaos among the battledroids. The powerful, towering Falumpaset beasts plowed through the enemy ranks, knocking over battledroids like dominoes.
Yasuke, with renewed determination, fought alongside his Gungan allies. Together, they pushed back the Trade Federation's forces. The tides of battle shifted once more, and the Gungans, inspired by Yasuke's valor, fought with unmatched fervor.
As they broke the enemy lines surrounding Yasuke they turned to continue the battle only to realize 10000 more battledroids were deployed and aiming right for them. Hopelessness swept through the ranks only for every droid to shutdown.
Yasuke walked over to a deactivated droid and pushed it over getting no reaction. He smiled, "they did it." he thought to himself mentally exhausted from the batttle. Before a gungan yelled with joy causing everyone else to as well.
Theed, Naboo Capital
Yasuke, his robes speckled with mud and scorch marks from the battle, made his way to the capital of Theed alongside the victorious Gungans. The streets of the city were lined with cheering citizens, relieved and grateful for the defense of their homeworld. Flags of Naboo fluttered in the breeze, and the jubilant atmosphere was palpable.
The celebration was bittersweet, for alongside the triumph, they mourned the loss of Qui-Gon Jinn, a Jedi Master who had given his life to protect Naboo and uphold the values of the Jedi Order. The funeral was a solemn affair, attended by Jedi and dignitaries from across the galaxy. Yasuke stood among them, paying his respects to his fallen comrade and mentor.
The eulogies were heartfelt, speaking of Qui-Gon's wisdom, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the Force. His sacrifice would be remembered as an embodiment of the Jedi Code, and his legacy would live on in the hearts of those he had inspired.
In the wake of the funeral, the celebration continued, a testament to the resilience of the Naboo people and the unity between Gungans and humans. Music, dance, and feasts filled the streets, marking the beginning of a new era of cooperation and peace.
As Yasuke looked around at the joyous festivities, he couldn't help but feel a sense of hope for the future. The battle for Naboo had been won, but the galaxy was still in turmoil, and the shadow of the Sith loomed large. There were challenges yet to face, and Yasuke was determined to stand strong in the face of adversity, just as Qui-Gon had taught him.
