Saga [Galen Marek Poem!]

A Tool, A Slave, A Mere Weapon of my Master…
For my Master being Vader …
For I may have had Wasted Power…
But you could not deny my Force Potential…
For even the Emperor feared…
I could Rival his Powers…beyond the comprehension of a Seer…
For even then I could fight and defeat … Vader…
Yet the Sith I could never truly Become …
For I would light theSparks… that Spurred the Rebellion to Victory!

Armed with Raw Potential …from Infancy to Youth…
From the Levitation of Telekinesis … with Hallways Cleared of Foes …
For with my Lightsaber training… I had but Humble Beginnings…
With regular spars with Proxy … yet then I would learn skills … self-taught and mastered…
One’s forced upon self-teaching by myMentor…
For yet these skills in duelling … would but serve me well …
To the point gradually … my own Master when I could defeat He!
Be it the Raw Rage and Passion of Juyo and Shien … to the Eye of the Storm in Soresu …
Yet then the duels combined together … with the Force!
I could become an unstoppable force! For you’d be lucky … to even parry my blows …
Let alone stand my bellows …
For opponents could not identify my fighting style … yet little did they know for a while …
It be either me … or simply my Master Vader whom would have taught me very well …
A Mere Push and Repulse … or even the catching of TIE Fighters … be it as the Frog as to the Fly …
To even Impaling Foes afar with my Lightsaber … yet it be merely hurled afar …
Yet even with Great Efforts I could Push and Pull from the Skies … an Imperial Star Destroyer …
To the Finest Tunings of a Lightsaber … by the Force!
Yet with the Powers of Force Lightning … where I make Powerful Castings…
One so Powerful I could Vaporize Foes with but a Single Blast…
To the Shakings and Hurling’s of Multiple Targets … in a Tactical Manner …
Yet not just Offence but even Defence…
For when I could even generate the Seekers of the Sith … combining Elements of Push and Lightning …

Born to Raise Waste and Destruction…
I did not understand Compassion or Teachings of the Light in my Youth…
For Trained only for Combat … Only through Kills did I Thrill…
Yet born from the Marek Jedi whom deserted the Clone Wars…
Yet from the Wilderness of Kashyyk …
Yet following my Mother’s Fall…
My Father too would Fall…
Alas! Both Marek Jedi were Felled …
Yet then only a Child … my connection to the Force was Yet So Strong…
Vader himself sought my Potential…

Abducted from my Home of the Wookies…
I would be trained by the Ways of the Sith …
For ignoring the Rule of Two … I was taken in … by my Master as his Secret Apprentice …
For the Unforgiving Tortures and Punishments of the Sith…
I be Consumed … by the Dark Side of the Force…

Countless Years I would train… enduring Rains of Pain …
For when the time was right…I would aid my Master … to overthrow the Emperor’s Reign…
Yet until then … with the start of 3 BBY … I would hunt and kill Jedi…
Yet with the death of Shaak Ti … I would be declared the Heir to Vader… to overthrow his Master …none other than the Emperor!
For I had gained my Purpose in Life …
For we met on the Executor … yet Betrayal on Vader’s Part…
Yet it be aRuse… and to ensure the fall of the Empire … from the Start …
For I be the Final Product … of my Master’s Desires and Wishes …
For I am the Walking Incarnate of Power and Destruction to all in My Path…
Yet I would recover from the Ordeal…by 2 BBY … Vader’s plan of contingency … he would reveal…
For I be ordered to Assemble and Arrange a Rebellion …
Then upon attracting the Emperor’s Attention …
Be Vader’s Rise to Ascension!
Though by then resenting of my Master …. Yet I would follow his Orders…
And the Dissented Members of the Galaxy I would Gather … Crucial to the Rebellion … for they be the Heart and Soul … of the RebelAlliance…

For when my Master betrayed me again … I entered the Death Star … abandoned my Sith Training … and embraced my Jedi Legacy…
Where my infiltration … meant my disillusion with Vader … where I engaged my Master … inBattle…
Yet then where the Emperor saw my potential…hesitate he did not …
For he tried to recruit me …yet the only th Light I would see…
For then I would fight and duel the Emperor … to a draw…
Although he would kill me … yet the Empire would not see … its imminent Defeat…
Where then my Legacy … ensured the Rebel Alliance … and to the birth of the Galactic Civil War…
Where my Family Crest… the Crest of the Marek’s would emblem theAlliancenamesake…
Yet Vader did not give up … for he claimed my fallen corpse….
And cloned me …
For after hundreds of failures and setbacks…
He would acquire … the Perfect Clone of Starkiller …

Born in the Outer Rims to the World of Kashyyk …
Where then the Time of Order 66 …
With the ending of the Clone Wars … and the Dawn of the Empire…
Where The Emperor … would send his Clones and Vader…
Where they find Kento Marek … my Father…
Alas! He defeated my Father and found me …
Where he bid me … his Apprentice I shall be …
For killed my Father … and with Vader’s plans for the Future…
He would overthrow the Emperor …And Establish his Order…
Where I be his Tool…His Student…His Apprentice …
Though he first would gain me … granting only Fear and Anger…
These would harvest and nurture … my inner raw emotions …

Training under my Master Vader… his Abuse and Violence I endured…
Where Weak he would taunt me … yet then he would comment where my Rage became a Strength…
The Code-Name ‘Starkiller’ he would endow me …
My previous life … I erased by his Orders…
Test after Test…Spar after Spar…Scar after Scar…
The Drawing of Hate and Rage for Power …
The endless duels with PROXY … Hour by the Hour…
Yet the Endless Cruelty and Torture …to the Reduction of Nature…Or even Self-Inflicted Horrors…
Where the Concentration Demanded me … to always Focus on the Force…
Yet for all my efforts and concentrations … my lack of foresight on the Future … vented my Frustrations…
Yet I relished my Role of Assassin and Enforcer…fixing Problematic Individuals … and Embracing Sadistic Enthusiasm…
For I closed off any Morals … only seeing my work and service to the Empire’s Demand…
For I even had the Rogue Shadow … a Ship of Custom Design … yet countless Pilots be Executed … for their Blundering Failures…
Yet then the Fateful Match in 3 BBY where the usual Duel … made it no more than a Business Day …
Yet then it would not be the usual Way … where my Master Ordered me to Knell before him…
For whilst my Time was at an End … or where I thought so…
It would be he would Knigth Me … and my First Test… to Nar Shaddaa …
I be ordered to kill the Jedi Rahm Kota … and claim his Lightsaber …
And to Execute all Survivors … Alas! I leave no Survivors!
Yet too I would meet my new Pilot … be a Lady! Juno Eclipse!

Months of Training Tested Me…
For in the Tie Fighter Facility …
Where I would find no Morals with the Slaughter…
Yet then until … with my Target … Rahm Kota … I would Encounter…
Lightning to Parry … Blade to Blade … Blast with Push …
For only then on the Defensive … did my Opponent’s Frenzy … Alas!Kota’s Frenzy … weakened him …
Yet then I would Blind my Opponent … yet then I would see a Vision…of my Father …
Where then Wounded …Kotaescaped … Yet unfocused and confused … I would Remain…

Yet then I be ordered to Improve … for to eliminate all opponents whom Stood…
I headed to theTempleon Coruscant … where the obstacles I would clear…
Until I reached … theTemple’s Chambers…where I hear a vision from my Father…
Telling me I would be … in a Trial of Skill …
For the challenge be … the Simulacrum Resurrection… of Darth Desolous …
For Fighting Him … the Ancient Sith be Over … for I be only the Future of the Sith … I would Remind Him …
Upon his defeat … I be ordered to hunt the fugitive Paratus … hiding in the world of waste on Raxus Prime …
Yet I may not have Survived…
For to Kill Paratus … would Draw me to my Destiny…

Months and Time to Fly to Raxus Prime…
Yet little did I gain about Paratus … whom survived … Order 66…
Yet then upon my landings … the sentries I fixed…
Then came the time when Paratus revealed himself!
For then from his Golem he fought … along with the Mannequins of Fallen Jedi Masters…
Yet the Desperate Duels …. The Final Rule … only One Could Win …
For I killed the Masters and took down Paratus … in the Machineries of the Council Chambers…
And by that … I exited Raxus Prime … leaving no regrets to my ‘Sin…’
Yet only then I be ordered to return to theJediTemple… to resume my further Training…

For the Return to theJediTemplemarked … my Trial of Insight…
Where again my Father told me … to put aside my Anger…
Yet then I would encounter another Simulacrum … be it that of Darth Phobos …
For one whom fed off the Fear of her Foes…
A Manifestation of the Horrors by the Force Illusions…
To the Duel of Desperation she tried to trick me … with even Juno Eclipse for I could see…
Yet I remained unfazed nor dazed…
I simply landed … the Impaling Blow …
For then I had completed the Trial of Insight and Conquered my Fears…
For then I be charged with the Killing of Master Shaak Ti … hiding on the Lush Worlds of Felucia …

For Ready yet I was not … whilst Rahm Kota I defeated … alas, he be the Old Jedi…
I was Forced to Fight a Real Jedi …
For then fighting through the Jungles … Felucian Natives and Guards …
To the very Jaws and Maw … of the Ancient Abyss where my opponent awaited …
Fighting Blade to Blade…Force to Force…
Amid a Living Beast! Yet where Shaak Ti would even employ the power of the beast!
Yet then the Final Flash! Amid a Blast of Force Lightning…
Whilst my opponent had died … the Sith Betray one Another! She would Remind Me…
Yet I left … Troubled Quietly …
For when I returned to my Master…
I thought the time was ripe … to overthrow the Emperor … for I be ready for my Destiny…

Yet then I would meet only Betrayal…
For aboard the Executioner …
Where I be stabbed by none other than Vader…
Where then came the demand of the Emperor…
Whom I was to be Executed …
And cast to the Depths of Space…
Yet then I was Recovered … and re-recruited … by Vader…
And Ordered … for a new mission
For should I have refused … I be Executed …
Yet then my destiny is always mine … for I must remember the Dark Side was with me … as reminded by my Master…
Yet whilst I suggested Assassination … it be dismissed by Vader…
Instead an Army of Rebels and the Oppressed he Demanded…
For only then could we achive your objective,
For ordering the severing of my ties … yet save for Juno Eclipse where I saved her…
And even a desire … to learn more a teacher… than from Vader …
For we would travel to Bespin … to rescue my former opponentKota…

Upon the Rescue ofKotafrom Bespin…
I would return to theJediTemple… for my Third Trial… of the Spirit
For this time … I would encounter my Father… fighting my Master…
Yet then I did not know it be my Father…until too late!
For yet still I found my fate … be it in the Holocron he left in theTemple…
Where then I was to fight my own vision …a Dark Specter …
Where only after the Brutal Violent Duel … was I freed from this Warrior’s Fate!

Returning Home… to the World of Kashyyk…
Where I would meet Leia … Princess and Future Leader … of the RebelAlliance…
Where then I would discover my origins and Roots…
Alas Starkiller I was no more …
For Galen Marek was but Reborn!
For then I conquered my Dark Side … and slowly I nourished … my Light Side … of the Force!
For Starkiller I was not now … for of the Marek family and my origins I would embrace!
All the Dark Side Influence I would have sought to Erase!
Then to Rescue Senator Organa … from the Clutches of the Corrupted Felucia…
For Shaak Ti be Dead…yet there was no Harmony in the Lush World of Felucia’s Threads…
For then came Maris Brood … for my presence was not Welcome … only Rude…
Yet then a Raw Violent Duel… Amid Lightsabers, The Force and even a Rancor! Alas! So Crude…
Yet I would emerge victorious! Where I would release Brood…
To the Return to Raxus Prime … on my Second Mission …
Where I would bring the Star Destroyers … from Planetary Orbit … well out of Commission …
For even then a Star Destroyer where I brought one down from Operation … right through to the Ion Cannon …
Then the Return to Cloud City…
Where the place be ruled by crooks, thugs and criminals…
For I had the message from Kota …
Yet then I had to fight with Chop’aa from Mandalore …
And formidable he was … I cut him down for no match he be … for the Force he was not intoned for …

Yet then the Final Betrayal … where it be only with my former Mentor…
Where the Betrayal was finally clear … for it began only from the Start…
For where I had been led and raised for Slaughter…
Only but an illusion but a Sham …
For where then the Final Test would Begin … on the Deck of the Death Star…
No Longer Starkiller…No Longer Assassin…No Longer a Machine … or a Tool of the Sith…
I would cast myself into the Light … as a Jedi … and a Legacy of the Marek House!
Yet I would save the Rebels … and Destroy Vader and the Emperor…
For then I could Foresee the Future …
Yet then I would find … the Start of the Death Star…
For on the Death Star now and then … Juno and I would Eclipse … we cast upon Farewells … For I may not Return…
For then sensing only Suffering and Pain …
Where then I would see too the Plight of the Wookie Slaves …
Where then I freed the Slaves … and sprang a Revolt …
Where then fighting the Guardsmen … I would encounter … my Master …
For then the Taunts and the Gestures … to the Enraging of Vader…
I Fought and Defended myself … against the Rage of my Master…
For then finally an Opening … where I defeated my Master…
Yet I be wracked with Pity and Guilty … to Kill or Not to Kill … or truly embrace … my Destiny…
For then approached the Emperor… whom encouraged me to Kill…
Yet whilst I would not enjoy the Thrill … I struggled with the Will…
For then I would become … his new Apprentice …
For finally then came Kota … whom attacked the Emperor …
Yet then a Long Drawn Duel … did I disarm the Emperor …
Yet then I be taunted by the Emperor…
Where then he urged me to embrace my Destiny …
Yet then even then … when it meant my Fall and Entrance to Death,
I fought to the last Breath…
For when the Emperor attempted to kill the Venerable Kota…
I rushed into to protect him … and for the moment … I had endured the pain beyond all Years of Torture and Training…
For the Moment the Lightning Struck me … I felt I be the furnace of a Star … within my own Heart!
For then I gathered the last ounces of strength … by the Force! I chained my power to the Emperor …
By the Absorption of Tutaminis…Alas! By the Force …
Yet then where upon my Sacrifice … I would become One with the Force … upon unleashing the Energy in due Course!
For whilst I be One with the Force … yet then the Defeat of the Sith … where the Emperor robbed of a Powerful Apprentice…
And the Weakened Vader whom still had some Presence …
For yet my Legacy Ensured … the Birth and Survival … of the Rebel Alliance …
For Despite how my Master Vader would Clone Me…
And he sought a Powerful Apprentice of Perfection …
Yet then in the Next Life … I be more Powerful than Ever!
For Juno Eclipse kept my spirits in motion and strong…

Yet my Legacy would not be Wronged…For Galen Marek I am … a Jedi’s Legacy of the Marek Clan!
