Return of the Old Ways

by ImageViewer

The Jedi, once the galaxies sworn protectors have now become lapdogs and enforcers to a corrupt government, it's council filled with frightened, short sighted fools who chain the children of the force preventing them from embracing their full potential until a legacy of the dark and the light sets them free and bring with him the return of the first order, the order of the je'daii.

5. Chapter 5

Hi again all.

now without further ado I give you.

Return of the old ways Ch 5

Lessons, teachings and bringing justice.

It had been a week since the Council's discussion and thankfully and it wasn't exile or banishment.

But that didn't mean that I wasn't left off the hook, I was forced to remain behind in the temple while my master left to fight in the war until I had proven that I was ready to re-join in the effort.

In other words to show that I wasn't a threat to the temple or anyone else.

I knew that some of the older generations namely the masters felt that I was dangerous, not only to myself but to others as well due to my extensive knowledge of the darkside and it's practices.

But today unlike any other day, I was tasked with teaching younglings about the force due the large number of masters and jedi knights being needed in the war.

I strode into a large oval chamber where a I saw a few familiar face's amongst a large classroom filled with children ranging from 6 to 15, all acolytes of the force, the second I entered all of them took their respected seats around the room while I stood in the centre "Alright class listen up." I said earning their attention and silencing any other voices in the room until only mine remained "Due to a large number of Jedi masters being called to the war, I have been ordered to teach you in their place."

"My Name is Padawan Thornton, some of you may know me as Tarion Thornton. Padawan to Master Mace Windu." The moment those words left my lips the entire room busted with whispering gossip about me and my amazing feats, namely beating my master in combat to using force lighting and so on. "Yes, yes I'm that guy, now before we move on. Is there any questions you would like to ask me?"

In a thunderous movement, every single being in the room raised their hands in the air to ask their questions. I looked at the first thing my eye's landed on, which was a young iridonian (human like beings with horns sprouting out of their heads like crowns, the lighter versions of Zabarks) Male by what looks like the age of 14 "yes?"

"Can you show force lightning?"

Once again the room was filled with loud cries and shouts at the mention of the ability "Yeah force lightning!/ show us please!?/ Force lightning! Forcing Lightning! Force lightning!" they kept on chanting before I stopped them.

"Alright, alright. I'll give a demonstration." I said getting hushed *yes's* from them. Foreseeing a need to demonstrate a force technique I brought out some old training probes from one of the storage rooms in the temples 'glad I brought these in.' I thought, turning on a few which floated over to the other side of the room while I took my place opposite them.

I tapped into the force and channelled it through my body, The Euphoric Feeling of power coursing through my form was delightful as the universal energy took form around my fingertips. Transforming into a small current of electricity that increased in power with every second until my whole hand was encased in a violent storm of lightning.

Feeling the manifestation of my power demanding to be unleashed I swiped my limb at the floating probes and let loose the arc of Energy that travelled in a single volt and blasted the old probes into pieces upon contact. The entire class were in hushed awe and bewilderment at the demonstration of the force technique "There you have it. Force lightning, the Ultimate form of power manifested. In sith customs, conjuring force lightning is a sign of maturity and power since it is power, channelled not controlled."

Returning behind the desk filled with the teaching materials for the lesson I was about to teach them "Yet as it is manifested from the Dark side it is not something that can be contained or Controlled, because as part of the dark side of the force it Is as chaotic as it is an unstoppable force."

"now this lesson isn't about force lightning but rather the force in general, that includes both sides. The Dark and the Light."

"Now before we continue on with the lesson, is there any question you would like to ask?" I couldn't help but sigh as once again as the entire room was filled with hands raised in the air, no doubt to ask questions not relevant to the subject of the lesson "Any questions that isn't related to my fight with Master Windu?" the majority of the hands dropped leaving only a small few still in the air before I pick one of them "Right, you there." I pointed to the female Twi'lek.

"what is the Dark side?"

Finally! A wise question to ask, I stood up straight and prepared to answer the younglings question as best as I could. "The Dark side is one half of the force. It is darker half that is the embodiment of all things that isn't peace and life." I started, Explaining the basis's of the one half of the force before continuing. "Just as the light side of the force is powered by life, the Dark side is powered by death, Hatred, anger and war. And in turn it powers those who use it." I could see the wheels in their head turning as they now started to regard the darkside as pure evil which I needed to set straight that it wasn't.

"Yet that does not mean it is evil." I began "it is a power, a weapon, a tool. And like all of those things it is defined by the person who wields it. For instance a Jedi can use the force for selfish reasons while a Sith can use the force for the selfless reasons."

"Has there ever been a sith who hadn't used the darkside for himself." Pedro scoffed outloud as the stereotypical image of a sith was well known.

"There have been a group of sith who immersed themselves within the light. This group of sith were called Light Sith. These sith didn't believe in the studies of the dark side but that of the light and used their power to better their empire."

"However, because they used the teaching of the light, they were seen not as true sith and were hunted down when they were discovered." "There's more. Sith derived their power from the dark, and for light to breach that darkness reduces it until there is nothing but shadows. And so if sith begins to tap into the light but still uses the darkside he will find that his power is weakened, not enchaned. Because for one who immersed himself in darkness then to tap into the light, weakens that darkness."

"do you understand?"

"so what your saying is that a sith can use the light but at great cost to his power."

"yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. Now there have been a few sith or jedi who used both sides of the force. A few you may recognise as Darth Reven or the redeem Jedi knight Reven. The Jedi Exile Meetra Surik who rebuilt the Jedi order after the Great Jedi purge after the event of the Jedi civil war. Kriera or Death Tairya, the Sith of Betrayal and of course The Je'daii Order, the precursor to the Jedi order."

"Who are the Je'daii?"

"Before the Great Schism, before the Jedi Order there was an order who sought true balance and harmony with the force. This Order sought to dive deep in discovering the Mysteries of the force, this Order was The Je'daii Order." "The Je'daii Order believed in attaining Balance with the force by balancing themselves with the light and the dark side. If they felt themselves shifting to one side they would mediate with whichever side it was that they were falling from."

"what happened to them?"

"The Force wars. A war that drive a great split between the light and the dark that by the end The Je'daii order was destroyed and the Jedi Order was founded. Century's of Harmony destroy by two groups who sought only one of two sides of the force with one declaring war on both."

"The darkside."

"Yes. The First Dark Jedi embraced the dark side and declared war on both the Je'daii and newly found Jedi order until they were vanquished, The remnants of the Je'daii order joined the Jedi Order and thus our order was founded."

"What happened next?"

"Well, for those of you who study the order's history you would know that the Jedi order was founded by four great masters who implemented the first laws and basics that govern our order."

"Jedi Masters Rajivari, Garon Jard, Cala Brin and Ters Sendon established the Jedi order after the Force wars and fall of Je'daii order. They also established the Jedi council and were its first original members."

Garon Jard believed we should be bringers of Peace, ending wars and only fighting in self defence."

"Cala Brin believed that True Justice cannot be driven by Emotion. That Jedi can set their passions aside and seek the Truth without fear or favour. It is she who made us seekers of justice."

"Ters Sendon, was the first Historian and chronicler of the order. He established the basic's from which our librarians to this day, Like Master Jocasta Nu. Record and Maintain all forms of history on both the Order it's self and the galaxy."

"Finally Master Rajivari. A seasoned veteran and warrior of the Force wars, he believed that the Jedi must be trained as warriors in order to combat evil wherever it reveals it's self."

"Three out of the four the master coexisted harmoniously."

"Three guesses who." Petro said to his friend's, not caring about his words being heard.

It was saddening how the Order looked upon one of it's founding members in such a way especially when his reasons were pure and simple to begin with, because if you want to defend the weak and innocent then you must train in the ways of the warrior and use those gifts to defeat tyranny and evil. "The three other Master's rejected Rajivari's belief in training as warriors. And this created rift between him and his fellow members, to which Rajivari believed that the order that they founded was stunted by his weak willed brothers and sisters and felt that the order needed to be smothered in it's crib in order for a stronger order to rise from it's ashes. And so he secretly started to train other jedi in his ways and the ways of the darkside which lead to the second Great schism."

"so… what your saying is that Master Rajivari is to blame for the second great schism and the creation of the sith order?"

"No! If Master Rajivari hadn't done what he did then we wouldn't be what we are now. We wouldn't have Lightsabre's that is both our tools against injustice and evil but the also the shield that defends the weak and the innocent."

"But that wasn't the sole reason for the second schism, you see the Jedi Order, new and fresh from the Force wars and first great schism started limiting many studies and techniques in the force. Even banning a number that was considered dangerous and that of the dark side which greatly angered many in the order who practiced these techniques in secret. When the Jedi Order found out about both, they sought to arrest these dark jedi which led to the Second great Schism where the First dark lord of the sith Ajanta Pall emerged."

"The lesson here is that the force is neither evil nor is it good, it is a power that is fuel by all and in turn it powers those who use it. Both the Light and Dark are an aspect of the great chain that binds all to it."

-after lessons-

Teaching was harder then it looks but in a way I was glad to open up the minds of these younglings to the truth of the force and the history of our order. "I want all of you to research on the Jedi and sith orders and do an essay comparing the two orders ideology and use of the force." The room emptied of all the children who exited with smiles on their faces chatting mostly about the subjects of the lessons I taught them and others…. Well…. just about the demonstration of Force lightning.

Just as I was packing up the various tomes and artefacts of the lesson a small figure step out from the last of the crowd of students.

"First lesson been, How Master Thorton?" a familiar aged voice carrying great wisdom and calm called out to me.

Looking up I saw the great Jedi of the order himself, Master Yoda. The green gremlin like jedi walked in with his walking stick, out of all of the jedi in the order, None had both my respect and

"Master Yoda." I greeted, bowing before the great master of the force as he walked up to me "it's been… a unique experience that I can't say wasn't bad or good."

"As is all things. Difficult at first but easy to do later. A great master you will become, much wisdom then I you will share to those who seek to learn."

"Master Yoda… I want you know what you think of me?" I asked, nervous and concerned what he and the masters thought of me... what my knowledge and abilities are to them "My unique and otherwise frightening knowledge of the force and it's dark secrets has the other masters on edge and suspicious of me. What I am asking is… what you think of me with the knowledge that I possess on dark side techniques?"

Yoda hummed in deep thought as leaned on his walking stick heavily with a thoughtful look on his face"Hhmmm… Difficult to say what you are" he said. I looked down as crippling fear ate at me until he continued "But not who you are. You are who you are, a young jedi of the Order who possesses a greater knowledge of Force then I. Never Forget who you are."

"Thank you. Master Yoda." I thanked him, feeling good about myself now that that's been cleared up but that was not the only thing that I wanted to asked of the old grand master "Master Yoda.. if I might inquire if I could leave the Temple, Being coup up here in the temple isn't something I enjoy doing. Especially when there's a war going on and every Jedi is needed to help put a stop to chaos and death it is causing."

The old grand master hummed in deep thought as he walked around me only for a little bit with his small stature before stopping before me "… leave the planet you cannot, but leave the temple you can under the watch of a Jedi Master."

I couldn't help but be overjoyed as the words to scream or shout out my glee was caught in my throat, thankfully had more self control thanks to my first master's…. who instilled harsh discipline into me. Thanks to Marka Ragnos, Tulak Hord, Darth Traya, Darth sion and Naga sadow who taught me that self-control was the key not being control by the darkside or loosing.

Still though I couldn't help but be glad that I could finally leave the confines of the temple and away from the ever watching eye's of the masters and the temple guards, but the main subject that needed to answered was who would take me given that most of the masters were off fighting so that left only a small few before my eye's landed back onto the smiling green master "…are you volenterring Master Yoda?" a hopeful thought to hope for as I always felt relax around the grand master and respected his insight and abilities.

However my hopes came crashing down when he answered "No… needed I am elsewhere but know I do, one who will guide you." While it wasn't I had hope for, what master he had planned for me would surely be someone of great wisdom.

"Tera Sinube. Old as I he is… knows Corresanct he does, help he needs in putting down crime fuelled by war. Something you are familiar with Master Windu." He finished with a knowing smirk upon his aged face.

But while he was smirking at me, was completely shocked, embarrassed and caught off that he knew about that incident that only me, Anakin and Barrass knew about , I couldn't help but stutter as I still hadn't recovered from that "yo-you knew!?" I yelped out a red hue of embarrassment graced my cheeks.

"Old I may be… but blind or deaf I am not." I couldn't help but look down in shame as he narrowed his eye's at me in a grandfatherly narrowed eyed looked that quickly shifted to a small small "Go now, your master waits for you." He said motioning for me to leave.

But I couldn't help but bow to him once more as I about to leave "Thank you Master Yoda!"

"Bow too much you do. Become more hunched then I you will."

Finding the old master that Yoda spoke of was harder then it look considering that most of the people I talked to were padawans or younglings who hardly knew who the jedi master was. Thankfully the Temple Guards were more then willing to tell me were the old master was, and guess where i found him?

In archives… sleeping before a computer.

He wasn't what I had imagined him to be, he certainly wasn't human which isn't a bad thing. The jedi master was a male Cosian, an elder of his species.

I approached cautiously as to not alert the napping old man until I stood right behind him "Tera Sinube?" I asked out, touching his shoulder lightly before he jumped up with a start.

"Hmm what that's!?-Oh!" he sounded, waking up fully to see me "hello there." He addressed, getting out of his seat and standing up with his wooden walking stick supporting his hunched formed.

"Master Sinube, My name is Tarion Thornton. I was informed by Master Yoda that you require help in dealing with crimes spring up all around the planet." I said bowing before him in a sign of respect.

"… oh yes!" He seemed confused for a moment before he remembered what it was that I was talking about "Told of you I was. Experienced with the Exchange I was told."

I couldn't help but be embarrassed that they knew about my activities during the day I fled from the temple.

"Come. Much work we have ahead us." "War breeds Desperation from the lack of food and security and there are those who feed on the desperate. The black suns have recently began to surface with Illegal cybernetic surgery, we are help Republic security dismantle their operations in the Entertainment district of the planet."

"Lead the way master"

-Courisanct Entertainment district. 100 miles from the Jedi Temple Level level 5001-

Despite the fact that there was a war going on, that still didn't stop people from partying and spending their credits within many of the establish casino's and bars throughout the sector.

The air was filled with greed and arrogance, not in a literally sense but figuratively matter as my senses were running wild with the blaring emotions of everyone around me. They reeked of arrogance, which you didn't have to be a jedi to see all of those smug happy faces passing you by with those rich shining clothes adorned on them.

It was sickening to say the least of how these people were acting despite the war going on around them. Many of the faces I past I instantly recognised as either being senators or high ranking republic officers who were wasting their money and time when they should be doing their jobs.

Still, we were here to rid of a bigger scum then the ones in high quality clothes.

We roamed the packed and busy streets, the people giving us space as they saw our robes which made us easily stick out as we sought to find the criminals hiding amongst these people. It was also difficult to sense with the force because of raging emotions exploding all around us.

Though trained beyond the limitation and teachings of ordinary padawans of the order I was still unprepared by the overwhelming explosion of emotions raging around me like violent storm.

The black sun's are a nortious gang that has been imbedded in the republic's underworld, as far back as the hyperspace wars.

They deal in pretty much everything, fraud, drugs, weapons, smuggling and extortion.

But unlike the other criminal syndicates, they prefer to flaunt their power instead of laying low like the other gangs and cartels. They own almost every club in courisant which is how they distribute their wares like deathsticks to people who need to take the edge off or even experiment.

A local cantenia was rumoured to be a source of the products being distributed, going in was easy it's trying to find out who it was that was going to be difficult.

"Master. I hate to be that guy but we would have better chance drinking tea with a tuskin raider then going in there looking like we are." In full fact, people stay away from jedi… people with something to hide or just people who are just plainly afraid of us. So walking into a bar or anywhere dressed as we were wouldn't get the answers we needed.

"I agree with you on that. Tell me how should we proceed?" Master Sinube asked as he leaned on his walking stick for support.

"Give me a moment." I said, looking around the area for anything that might help when I spotted a clothing store not far away, a smirk graced my lips as an idea suddenly popped into my head.

-one quick change later-

A new set of clothes from a local average shop was all that was needed, including a bit of rework to make the illusion I had planned work. Rips and tears on the coat and jeans along with a few smears of dirt to make me look homeless followed by a ripped piece of cloth around my eye's to give me the illusion that I was blind.

Master Sinube hummed as he eyed my disguised "An… unusual approach young padawan."

"It'll serve it's use, especial with the discharged officer story I've got." I said as I discreetly hid my sabres in my sleeves in to keep them hidden in case things go south before I pull out my staff attachment and extended it a bit. Hunching a bit as I walked towards the bar, tapping my staff against the ground and the objects around as if I was trying to find my way, thanks to master Traya and Master Surik I could use the force to see were I was going instead of relying on my eye's to see, to see what others cannot see.

I entered the bar as the sound of music and holovids blared in my ear along the sound of people talking, the air was strong with thick alcohol, and smoke as I navigated through the crowd that parted to give me as I approached the bar where the bartender was who felt different then anyone else around me, not to mention bartenders tend to hear things that other don't.

My staff hit the table making my head shoot up before I hestitantly reached forwards grasping and touching the table, feeling the smooth and slightly wet surface before feeling for a chair to sit down on. Grasping a stool I pulled myself towards it and sat down before the man who was wiping clean a mug before he settled it down to address me.

"What can I get'cha?" he asked I settled my staff down against the table beside me.

"What ever's strong enough to dull my depression." I groaned out, holding my head in my heands as I leaned on the table with an air of drepression and gloom around me. "Hey you don't mind if I share a story with ya?" I asked as he was pouring out a drink to serve.

"It's part of the job soo lay it on me." He said, serving out a glass of corellian wine to me that reached for and took a big swig of before laying it back down.

"Where to start…?" I mused, fingering the clothe for a moment before telling the tale that I had been planning "I was an officer in the republic navy before all of this clone wars shit happened."

"You… an officer?" the bartender was surprised to hear this before I continued on.

"Yeah. Had a ship and crew, was making a name for myself on the frontier until the incedent that cost me my eye's."

"What happened?" he asked, becoming interested in my tale.

"Pirates. Don't know who and don't very much care as an entire fleet of them ambushed us on the orbit of Ryloth. We managed to successful fend them off but one stray blast from one of their cannons hit's the bridge, next thing I know I'm screaming in pain on the ground with shrapnel in my eye's."

"I can't imagen what feels like." The bartender hissed in sympatric pain for me as he poured me another one .

"it's worst then it looks trust me." I breathed out, drowning another one down "Anyway, I'm in a republic medical facility thinking I'm gonna get some new cybernetics eye's for my destroy one's but our so called advanced medical technology say's I can't get any."

"Seriously!?"

"Yah! Not even military grade one's, all because of the bloody medical ethics preventing them from installing working eye's instead of the cheap organic one's they gave me that stopped working for so many months now."

"I couldn't continue my military career after that… I was honerably discharged for my years of service… 5…. Bleeding and painstaking years of service to shutta filled society!" I cried out, slamming my fist into the table as I slumped into my hand holding my head.

"man that's rough."

"Yeah, I've tried everything I could to get myself my sight back. But have only been thwarted at every turn, all I need is my sight back and I resume my career again."

"Well…." He trailed out, looking left and right for anyone watching before leaning forward and whispering "If you're really that desperate, there's a black market sell on some high grade cybernetics's. Real military grade one's, experimental."

I immediately reached out grasped his arm as I cried out in desperate hope "Where!?"

He pryed my hand off of him as he breathed out in a whisper "Easy. It's in the induestial section, level 2014 metal works." He whispered out, watching as a sob broke out of me as I once again grasped his hand with both of mind.

"Bless you ser. You don't know how thankful I am." I sobbed out, feeling him pat my hand in comfort.

"The black sun could always use a friend in the military." He said before I paid and pushed myself off the stool, grabbing my staff and walking out of the bar altogether, out of eye shot of the bartender and the bouncers before pulling the cloth off of my eye's as I approached the awaiting Master Sinbue who looked impressed.

"I must say, I'm impressed." He breathed out, the old master had followed in behind me and was watching from a distance as act went on "you almost had me believing."

"Thank you master, now let's hit this place."

-Level 2014 Industial section.-

The industrial zone was just as it was the last time I was here, the horrid stench of burning imotions and metal hit my nose along with the loud roars of machine's rang in my ears.

This was the industrial zone of the entire planet where much of the common items and parts of galaxy was created and shipped around.

If what that bartender said, then the black suns should be operating out of the warehouse before us which looked better for something that was labelled as abandoned and condemned in the republic Records so it made it the perfect spot for a base of operations.

I stood with Master Sinube with an army of clone's right behind us, The Coruscant Guard was a division of Elite clone shock troopers charged to be the planet's peacekeepers and law enforcement.

Their commander, Trooper 1010 otherwise known as Fox came up to us in his red and white themed clone armour "Sir. The Coruscant Guard stand ready for your orders." Fox addressed us as we look the large building housing the criminal syndicate black sun.

I immediately took charge before Master Sinube could say anything "Surround the building to make sure no rat escapes, and prepare your men for breaching in. lethal force is authorised but I'd prefer if we can take a few alive, Namely their leaders."

"Understood commander." As a jedi, I outrank republic officers and commanders. My rank as a padawan grants me the title of commander in time's of war while a master or a knight is ranked as a general.

Fox went back to his men and started to issue orders while Me and master Sinube analysed the building for any signs of the gang member even though we could sense the life signatures inside but they didn't appear to be alert or scared which means they do not know about us and the element of surprise was on our side on this.

"We use this advantage to install some men in before the main assault begins."

"Agreed. Though I must say I'm impressed with you're leadership, for a padawan you have the mind of experienced battlemaster."

"I was trained in more then just the force from my master." The various holocron masters of the force taught and beat their military and leadership experience into me, teaching me the fundamental basic's of planning and coordinating my attacks and battle's.

The clones formed a line around the building, covering it from all sides, slowly and quietly they encroached onto the building until they were pressed against it with a great number of them converging on the front and back doors. They prepared for a beach and clear as me and master Sinube took our respective positons as he leads the group on the front while I was with fox on the back.

With the non lethal explosives placed upon the doors, the men distanced themselves from the doors and covered their faces before *Boom! Boom!* the charges went off with the doors flying open from the blast that obliterated the seals and locks that held them closed.

Like a flood, we stormed in on the surprised and unprepared gang members who scurried for cover and their weapons.

-fight-

My lightsabres ignited just as the room was flooded with blaster fire of blue and red bolts that danced between the room.

I quickly leaped behind a support beam for cover to avoided the barrage of bolts directed at me before flanking out the other side and throw both of my sabres at a group of them just as I dived behind some creates for cover.

My spinning blades sailed through the air like white disks of death as they cleaved through the unprepared gang members, decapitating and slicing through a small group of them before they returned back to me like blazing white boomerangs.

I jumped high over the crates and caught both my blades in hand and locked them together in their doublebladed state before I landed back onto the ground in the midest of the chaotic firefight.

I widely spun my blades, deflecting the bolts of lasers back in a controlled fashion accurately bouncing the bolts back into the shooters weapons and limbs forcing them to drop to the ground stunned and weapon less.

*Boom!* the entire building shook as an expected explosion went off on the otherside of the building were Master Sinube's troops were currently fighting the other half of the gang.

I was completely caught off by the sudden explosion that I didn't notice a blaster was aimed at my unprotected back until I sensed the danger but couldn't turn or move fast enough to evade or defend my self against it.

I braced for the pain when- *PHEW! PHEW!* the sound of blaster fire sounded off…but I felt no pain, turning around with my sabres ready I saw my would've been murder dead on the ground with blaster marks on his being that pierced through his body in scorch marks.

Turning to the source I saw that it was Commander Fox who saved my hide as the barrel of his rifle smoked from the extreme heat of hot laser fire.

I nodded in thanks to him before noticing that few members left of the black suns were being subdued by our greater numbers that suffered only a few injuries thanks to their training that outclassed the gang members non-existent one.

However all was not done just yet as the moment I was about to holster my sabres again the entire foundation shock once more *Boom!* more explosion went off soon after *Boom! Boom! Boom!* the explosions became more frequent and louder until *BOOOM!* the entire wall separating us from the rest of the building exploded into dust and debris.

What remaining guns there were that weren't cuffing the black sun's was all aimed at giant hole in the wall, as the dust slowly started to settle a mechanical whinging sound echoed as something large and heavy stomped from the dust which faded to present a large imposing frame standing in hole with it's multiple arachnid like legs that stomped towards us.

From out of the dust stood an old BAF 1010 Artillery Droid. A working relic of the great galactic war that was operational.

It had 6 mechanical insectoid bipedal legs that was attached to the circular body that the head rested on, it's head was large and wide with a single protective optic sensor showing on the front of face with two turbo lasers adorning on both side's of it's head with a little mini silo filled with small armed rockets.

This ancient war machine that kept armies at bay moved further into the room before it's turbo weapons started priming as it's sole optic sensors locked onto it's enemies before it.

"take it down!" Fox commanded as he and men opened fire but despite the technological advancement of weapons now and then, The BAF Droid proved to be just as formidable as it was back then as the basters hit their mark but the Armor was made to withstand explosions of a high magnitude so the war droid was completely unfazed by the assault on it's being.

It gave out a high pitch screech that made everyone cover their ears from the ear bleeding wail that was it's signature war cry before it started to open fire. It's large bolts exploded on the ground as it race towards a small group of clones who were unable to dodge or get out of the way as they were soon sent flying from the shockwaves of the explosive fire that hit them dead on.

I rushed forward with my blade , using the force to lift and throw a a large chunk of debris that knocked the war droid from its attack before it recovered and turned it's attention to me as I closed the distance between us.

It raised it's form back to rear up it's legs to pierce and stomp on me but I was faster thanks to the force that enhanced my speed at the last second to avoid being skewered as I stood directly under it body as it stomped down to the ground embedding it's legs deep into the ground.

I slashed and sliced off two of it's bipedal legs making it stumble from the loss of support for it's frame, during this I moved out from under it to behind it but it quickly recovered and managed to hold it's self up before it's head spun 180 to face me and began to quickly fire.

I back flipped away, narrowly missing being shot at as I distanced my self away from the war machine that opted for advanced weaponry for it's greater foe.

The casing of it's rocket batteries unsealed to revealed the arsenal of priming explosives ready to be fired, the droid lowed it's head in my direction aiming the silo full of rockets directly at me that fired all at once.

I quickly turned off my lightsabres to raise my hands in front of me, with the force I halted the still firing rockets that struggled in my untouching hold. The effort it took to hold them in place as they continued to fire towards me, fighting my hold to hit me, Gather my strength as I tapped deeper to my emotions to give me the power I needed.

I felt my power flair at the flow my emotions pouring forth, increasing my strength as I gave the pushed that sent all rockets back at the Droid making it stumble and nearly topple from the high ordnance of it's own rockets being repelled back at it.

I didn't give it a chance to recover this time as I dashed and leaped high onto it's head, embedding my lightsabre into it dome that held me secure on it's wailing and furiously moving being that tried to dislodge me from it's head as it shake and thrashed about.

Gathering all of my power that I had and letting my emotions flow through me once again I felt the euphoric feeling of power rush into my being and course through my form into my free limb where it manifested into my ultimate power that I possessed.

Arc of pure lightning erupted from my fingers and shot down to the thrashing droid, pouring into it at high volts that it was unable to handle as the power was beyond physical standards for any being to take.

After a few moments I stopped the current running through it as it suddenly stopped moving, as I jumped off it fell to the ground lifeless and singeing with smoke emanating from it's scorched form.

-battle over-

With the fight over and all remaining members of the black sun subdued and cuffed I turned to fox who approached me after that hairy fight "Sir. Are you alright?" he asked as he stood at attention.

Switching my sabre and unhooking it into it's original form before I holstering them back onto my sides "I'm fine Commander. Status report on the troops, black sun members and the contraband acquired?"

"Sir. We've sustained some casualties but nothing compared to the syndicate members, a few require medical attention on both sides. We have arrested what remaining men they have including a few who are at the republics most wanted list. The Contraband we seized from them are in fact illegal experimental cybernetics."

"That's good. Get medical attention for your men first before proceeding with the arrest's and seizures of the products."

"Right away sir!" he saluted before returning to his men as I progressed though the hole made by the droid and followed the hall until I made it to the front part of the warehouse where I beheld victory of Master Sinube's group as bodies less then my part littered the ground with the rest being taken away in cuffs but no sign of any droids laying on the ground like mine.

I walked over the bodies towards the age master who awaited for me "I see that you've been quite busy you're self." I said looking at slightly less destroyed room in amazement "Though not nearly as I."

"Indeed young Padawan. I could hear your fight with something very large."

"well to put it simply. Black sun, giant robot, victory."

-later-

After arresting the black suns and turning them, and their contraband in, I returned back to the temple to unwind after that long day.

Naturally I had a room to call my own apart from my ship which is grounded but not inaccessible because I have the key's, laying back against my bed which was a small single one instead of the large spacious double bed back on the ship, I holo-called the only person I had to tell the *Thrilling* adventure I had today.

"And that's what's been happening since I've been confined here until further notice. How have you been?" I asked as I looked on the miniature transparent form of Barass who off on the front line's battling against the Separatists alliance.

"Well things could be worse I suppose. The separatists have been giving us trouble but nothing we couldn't handle."

"Man… I'm missing all the action." I breathed out, feeling left out and envious that everyone apart from me was off fighting while i'm confined here until further notice. "I wish I was there with you instead of rotting away back here teaching when I should be on the front lines saving lives."

"It's not all that bad…. You got it easy from what I hear. Teaching padawans, busting criminals, and relaxing." She said, trying to cheer me up which did work... only a little bit as I still felt useless and all that I had learned was useless as well "It's better compared to what we're doing over here."

"Believe me when I say that I would like nothing better then to actually have the freedom to leave this planet, away from the cautious and fearful stares I get 24/7. To use my learned gift to make a difference rather then have them waste away."

"Yeah... still things could be worse. you could've been expelled."

"I think that card is still on the table with the masters." It was in fact always on the table for force users who were too dangerous to be left roaming around, it was a punishment that the jedi reserved for those that the republic couldn't arrest or lock away without having something to seal or block their powers.

Little did I know was that soon I would catch the attention of someone I would not know of until later.

I hope you all enjoyed that.

again I would like you remind everyone that my main stories: Jaune Arc Mis-adventures, Return of the old ways, Dawn of Heroes The First Roman, a Crystal Rising all go in the order that you see before you before returning back to square one.

my other stories apart from them don't have as much attention and can be published at any time.

Thank you for reading.

Next is the Dawn of Heroes story.

Also to those of you who are reading my Westeros Movie night fic, let me inform you that I am currently working on the chapters for it. I can't say when or how long it's going to take but you will see future chapters for the new fic.
