The Spirit of the Jedi - Updated 03/05

Freedon Nadd and Satoshi were locked in battle, in their own battle. Meanwhile the front lines of the battle remained hectic. The shots from the blasters rained upon each side. A man fired constantly in all directions, he had just killed a Quinthian. He turned to his friend. But as he turned his friend had a fair portion of his face blown off by a blaster shot. The now dead corpse slumped to the ground.

The man became angry and stood up and fired wherever there was a living object on the battlefield below. He had fought with valor but was killed by many blaster shots. He fell into a Twi' Lek. The Twi' Lek moved the body over and took up a position by the wall.
Bodies from both sides were everywhere. Jedi were successfully deflecting blaster shots. Some though were overwhelmed and fell to their deaths below.

A squadron of Massasi moved strategically around the walls, they were moving along the wall and went to a place where they saw a cave.

"Two Jedi fell here, where are their cloakes, where are their lightsabers. Wait, I smell flesh, this way", said the leader dashing into the cave.

Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu could automatically feel a disturbance in the force and went to the doors blockading the cave. Other Jedi had taken positions and were waiting. The Massasi were pounding on the doors. The doors were too thick for lightsabers, but they could break them down with great force.

"We cannot just wait for them, I will go to wall tops and take them from behind, when the time is right open the doors", said Mace Windu leaving. Some Jedi followed and some soilders with weapons that could shoot fairly well.

Qui-Gon waited with anticipation. Guards had set up barricades and waited behind them for the moment when the battle would be brought to them.

Mace had gone with his assembly of troops and jumped down the wall, he used the force to steady the jump down. Then they ran with haste to the cave entrance. The troops with blasters waited behind rocks ready to shoot any others who came to assist.

Mace and the other Jedi went in and ignited lightsabers, the Massasi had already anticiapted their presence and began to counter the surprise attack.

Qui-Gon was alerted and the doors opened he and other Jedi charged to the Massasi. The squadron was caught in a trap. Mace Windu had already slewn many Massasi, but these must have been lower ranked ones. Slowly the Massasi were extinguished by the Jedi. Mace Windu went to Qui-Gon.

"Others know about this entrance I am sure now, we need to stay here", he said.

"Of course, I will get more troops", said Qui-Gon. He left to get more help and Mace already felt it, another squadron had arrived, this time not of Massasi but Sith. Their leader was Xanatos, Qui-Gon's first apprentice. He yelled a charge command and the Sith came with force. Mace met the first attack. The troops positioned to stop any other intruders had fallen to their deaths and a few seconds later Sith came down from where they fell.

The Jedi were being forced back, blades clashed red aginst blue, green, purple, yellow, and orange.

Qui-Gon was running fast and came just in time. Other Jedi clashed with blades, the competetion was intense. Mace cut down a Sith and looked for an opponent, then Xanatos came, he had two blades.

"Ah, Mace Windu, long have I desired to kill you", he said and immediately attacked. He was fighting Mace with pure hate in his blood. Mace could keep up but something happened, a Sith fell onto him as he was deep in concentration and Xanatos moved in and slashed him across the leg.

Mace staggered but still fought. Then his arm was slashed as he limped, Xanatos laughed and slashed at the other leg, Mace fell to his knees. The Sith was obviously going to kill him slowly. But as he raised his blade, Xanatos stopped and turned it the other way and hit Mace with the hilt. Mace slumped to the ground unconscious.

"Take him, take him to Xizor as requested, go now", barked Xanatoas meeting the sudden strike of his former Master's green blade.

Qui-Gon

 

Master Jador: Mon Mothma corrupt? Never.
Darth Kano: What is Xizor's plan. I hope Obi and Qui are all right.

Great posts!!!

 

Great post, Kano!

Thanks yodaminch! I am saying nothing one way or the other about Mon Mothma's character. I am only a disinterested bystander. My concern is only to protray Anakin's feelings on the matter, and I have no doubt that Vader saw Mothma as a corrupt opportunist, and that therefore Senator Skywalker views her in much the same light. Then again, Solo is the "pirate," so that doesn't say much about Ani's clarity of thought in such matters.

 

Qui-Gon struggled, he had tons of rocks on him. He could feel some presences leaving to become one with the force. But he could still feel Obi-Wan's presence.

The Sith had used their anger and had pushed off the rocks in rage. Vikoro stood there seemingly untouched. He laughed menacingly.

"You see, the Sith have used anger and the force, now they have been able to survive. Come now, use your anger, hate me even more and then you will live", said Vikoro hoping his psychology would have an effect on the Jedi who had still lived.

Qui-Gon could hear Vikoro's words and could feel the pain throbbing in his chest. But he concentrated hard and soon enough the rocks were lifted and tumbled to the side. After releasing them he let out an exhausted sigh. Obi-Wan was already sprawled out on a pile of rocks gasping for air. Qui-Gon managed to stand, he staggered, but still faced Vikoro.

"I survived with the power of the force, anger leads you to believe you are more powerful, it may seem so from your point of view, but you are only falling to evil and corruption", said Qui-Gon.

"What he says is true", said Dooku. Then ne pulled out his curved lightsaber and ignited it, it glowed blue. Qui-Gon stood, he ignited his green lightsaber. Obi-Wan got up now and drew his blue lightsaber. Vikoro laughed and drew his red blade.

"I will show you anger is more powerful", he said advancing to Dooku.

"We shall see", said Dooku and raised his blade. Obi-Wan an Qui-Gon came to his side. Qui-Gon seemed to have forgotten his pain in his chest.

Vikoro began fighting the three Jedi. He was in some way able to fight three Jedi but it was obvious his lightsaber skills were not advanced enough to fight three Jedi, so he used the force and threw back an injured Qui-Gon.

Obi-Wan slashed low but Vikoro caught the attack Dooku struck at the head, Vikoro blocked, then he once again used the force and repelled Obi-Wan backwards with force lightning to go with it.

Now it was Dooku and Vikoro. The blades clashed red against blue. It seemed the only light in the cave came off from the two blades locked in an intense and fierce duel.

Dooku had jumped up and swung at Vikoro once more but it was blocked. The two blades met again and again, then they were locked in place, seeimingly stcuk together.

"What are you planning to do with Mace Windu?"

"Not I, but someone who will have use of him, it is not your concern", said Vikoro.

"When it involves a friend it does", said Dooku releasing his blade and then catching Vikoro across the neck, his head rolled off his shoulders and fell to the ground, the body slumped with it.

"Obi-Wan, rescue any Jedi trapped in the rocks I am going after Mace", said Dooku running out of the cave.

He had barely ran out when the blaster shots came upon him, he was able to deflect most of them and contiued on out into the battlefield.

Obi-Wan had managed to get some out, but most had died. The ones he had rescued were sent to the med units. He went to Qui-Gon.

"Leave me here so I can recover, go Obi-Wan to the front line, find master Plo Koon, tell him it is time", said Qui-Gon.

Obi-Wan did so and in the mix of Jedi and and soldiers he found Plo Koon, he still wore something similar to his breathing mask in his past time so all would still recognize him better. He had just deflected a laser blast that went back to the one who fired it.

"Master, Qui-Gon informed me to tell you that it is time", said Obi-Wan.

Plo Koon stood there then after what seemed an eternity he left without a word and disappeared into the chaos of the Citadel.

After searching he found Yoda who had been hurling rocks with the force into portions of Sith. He turned and saw Plo Koon.

"It is time", said Plo Koon.

"Is it? Then go I will, victory will come with me, assure you I do", said Yoda.

Master Jador and what was left of his Jedi taskforce which was twenty made their way up and landed on a platform that stuck out. A pair of doors were opened, the scene created a feeling

 

Great posts, guys! I wonder when Anakin will realize that Leia is his daughter...

 

Master Jador had halted in he middle of the hallway he had just entered. He knew something was wrong.

"Do not stop, you are expected", a voice boomed into the silence.

Jador still cautiously moved into the light of the doorway beyond, then he paused.

"If me it is you need, let go my taskforce", demanded Jador.

"Very well, guards let them leave", said the voice.

The taskforce left and Jador entered the light. Before him was Raru on a throne with the former Jedi Council at his sides, they were all cloaked in black.

"Jador, Jador, we have given you a chance to join us and will give you your last chance", said Raru.

"Never, never corrupted will my heart be", said Jador.

"Fool, oh well, come I will show what I have planned for the Jedi....as well as the Sith."

Jador looked to the side and saw mounted on a platform a weapon that looked like a massive cannon.

"Soon in time we will be in power and not any of those foolishly wasting their time on the battlefield at Mor 'alak. At this Jador's eyes bugged out. Raru was going to destroy both armies in one shot.

"And who better to do it than you", said Raru as the Sith around him approached Jador. Jador walked backwards, but he sensed the doors had been sealed, he had no choice.

A battle cry echoed in the room as Jador leaped into the air, his green lightsaber already ignited he took off the head of one Sith who was unprepared. The rest had been alerted and drew their blades.

The Sith closed in on Jador and he took out a fair amount of them, but was overwhelmed and captured. He was drug to the weapon and strapped into it.

"You will give my weapon the power it needs", said Raru and then with the firce he activated the weapon and immediately his life force was being drained from him. Raru laughed at him.

A white ball had formed at the tip of the cannon. Jador's head hung low, he was dying and his last act as a Jedi would be to destroy his own friends and all that he worked so hard to build and protect.

Satoshi and Freedon Nadd were still locked in an intensive mental contest when both stopped and the boulder rolled away killing some in its path.

Satoshi felt a disturbance in the force. Freedon Nadd did as well.

"Satoshi what is happening?"

"Freedon Nadd, the Sith Raru has turned his back on you and me as well, he is going to kill us all....Jador is dying", said Satoshi.

"Satoshi, let us stop this contest and finish it later, Raru will kill us both, how could I not see that he was getting both forces on the battlefield to wipe us all out and take over?"

"Because the darkside is of lies and deceit, you have been blinded by this as I have told you so many times", said Satoshi.

"You don't know the power of the darkside", said Freedon.

"I do, but I saw its price before I fell into it, you may do as you wish but we must forget this and stop the threat before us", said Satoshi.

"No, never, who cares if Raru kills of both, at least I will die knowing I have defeated you", said Freedon. Then he gathered the darkside energy in the clouds above Satoshi and engulfed Satoshi in lightning.

"Let the darkside prevail", said Freedon.
****

Obi-Wan saw Satoshi imprisoned in lightning, he was crying out in pain. All had stopped to see the greatest Jedi ever be defeated.

Then at the same moment the front gates were knocked down and Sith came pouring in like ants over a piece of fruit. Obi-Wan raised his blade and met the first few attacks. It seemed now that there was little hope.

 

Me being the greatest Jedi ever-Sweeet!

Me dying-Awwww!

Hehe. Excellent post, Darth Kano!

 

All this death sigh.
More soon

Excellent stuff, Kano!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been really sick. I thought I was getting better last weekend, but it didn't go away. Fortunately, I'm finally doing better, and can get back to writing. I should have a post up tomorrow. Get ready!

 

Please up this! I swear, it has been haunting me since yesterday!

No new posts yet....

 

Sorry yodaminch, Jazz_Skywalker, and everyone! It's been tough getting back into the groove of things after nearly two weeks of being mostly confined to bed. Anyway, here is the latest update on events in the world of the living. Let me know if you have any suggestions for improving it; it took me a while to get back into the Star Wars universe! Enjoy!

*********************************************

Pain. Suffering. Death. Destruction. Kerith Velasian wrapped himself in the wave of torture pouring out of the afterlife. His forces were on the verge of total victory, and the imbalance in the afterlife had begun to affect the Force everywhere. The former Emperor smiled. The Dark Side was rising. He would triumph over the pitiful remnants of the Jedi. Luke Skywalker was weak; Kenobi and Yoda could not help him. They were no doubt preoccupied with their own battles. The new Jedi had been trained by Skywalker, and shared all of his weaknesses. Only one Jedi alive was capable of posing any threat to him, and that Jedi was suffering from extreme amnesia. No one could stand in Velasian?s way. Victory was his.

A buzzer rang, disturbing Velasian?s meditations. Someone was at the door.

?Strange,? he muttered aloud. ?I don?t have any appointments for another half-hour.?

He left his secret meditation chamber and headed to answer the door. It slid open, revealing the scowling face of Senator Pendan. Velasian smiled.

?Senator Pendan, it is a pleasure to see you,? he said. ?Won?t you come in??

Pendan walked in as if he owned the house.

?I want to speak with you, Velasian, about a matter of some importance.?

?And what would that be??

?Don?t play innocent with me. I have far too much political experience to fall for that. I know all about you.?

Velasian froze. He can?t possibly?There?s no way, he thought.

?I had my people do a little research on you,? Pendan went on, ignoring the younger man?s response. ?I looked into your background and your money, and there seems to be one common denominator in all of it: gambling. You got your money by running illegal casinos.?

Velasian sighed in relief. ?How did you find out?? he asked, trying to sound concerned.

?That?s not important,? Pendan said in a self-satisfied way. ?What matters is that something like this could really ruin your chances in the New Republic if anyone finds out. They?re much stricter about that than the Emperor was. He was so vain and pompous that he?d let you get away with treason, just so long as you kissed up to him often enough. Believe me, I know.?

?Do you?? Velasian responded evenly, barely containing his anger.

?Oh yes. But anyway, I just thought I?d let you know that I can protect you, if you work for me.?

?Thank you for the generous offer, Senator, but I work for no one but myself.?

?You don?t have much of a choice, Kerith (can I call you Kerith?); if you don?t play along, then I?ll turn your name in to the authorities, along with evidence linking you to a number of illegal activities. No amount of hobnobbing with the Senate will protect you when that happens.?

?Why would you do something like that?? Velasian asked.

?Because I can?t have someone moving in on my turf. I?m a very influential person in the Senate, and I don?t want you messing it up by coming here and throwing your money around. Who knows, you might even get your own Senate seat. I don?t like powerful people I can?t control.?

?Neither do I, Senator,? Velasian responded.

For the first time, Pendan noticed the familiar gleam in Velasian?s sinister eyes, and was struck with terror.

?You!? he exclaimed. ?It?s not possible! How could you??

Pendan was cut off by a sudden burst of lightning from Velasian?s hands. A few moments later, he was dead. Velasian walked over to the communications system and contacted the emergency medical personnel.

?This is Kerith Velasian. I need help at this location immediately. Senator Pendan is here, and I think he just had a heart attack. Hurry!?

* * *

?Senator Skywalke

 

Nice post. But once the medics get their won't they realize it wasn't a heart attack but a barbcue

 

I agree about the barbeque comment...

Now, what about the other people?

JS

 

Thanks to yodaminch and Jazz_Skywalker for your comments!

Re: the lightning BBQ thing - I was thinking that a short term burst of Force lightning, powerful enough to stop a non-Force user's bodily systems from functioning, would leave no visible traces on the body, thus rendering the cause of death indetectible. Pendan did not die because he fried to death; he died because the Force energy overloaded his internal organs and they went kaput. If you look at other victims of Force lightning, eg Luke, you see no visible burn marks on the body, even though the lightning clearly covered all parts of his body, including those that were not covered by clothing. This is not to say that Force lightning is incapable of frying a person; it is merely to say that it does not necessarily do so. I hope this answers the question. Thanks for bringing it up, yodaminch.

As far as the epic conflict in the afterlife is concerned, we must be patient. Lord Kano is in charge of this war, and he alone knows when he will post.

 

HELLO everyone sorry I have been gone but a posted a lot then waited for Jador to post so know I am here, great work Jador. I hope you all are enjoying the battle, I am trying to make as cool as possible.



Satoshi was beaten almost and Freedon laughed. The Sith and Jedi had stopped fighting and watched the event transpiring. Then a Sith spoke.

"We will all die, get the staff of Mor 'alak from Freedon and give it to Satoshi, he knows what to do", said the Sith.

Then they all headed to Freedon and he looked to the them with confusion.

"What are you doing? You are all supposed to be fighting", he yelled.

"No", said a Sith who had taken the staff from Freedon. Obi-Wan looked confused, how could this Sith in ragged appearing clothes take the staff so easily. Then the Sith pulle dhis hood back and a series of gasps filled the air. It was the most ruthless Sith Lord of all time; Exar Kun.

But how?, thought Obi-Wan. Exar Kun was sealed in the Massasi Temple on Yavin 4.

"Now Freedon Nadd the real battle will begin, but not at the expense of the moment of course", said Exar. Then he went to Satoshi. A beaten Satoshi looked up and with hands shaking took the staff. He slowly got up then flew to the far end of Citadel. All remained quiet as he stuck the staff into the wall. A flash of white light occured from the blast from the Old Jedi Temple.

Then Satoshi fell to his knees. He had used his power to create a new barrier and that had weakened him since now the darkside was everywhere in the site of the Citadel. Obi-Wan looked at a Sith was ready to attack but the Sith stopped.

"We will not fight, not yet, let the Jedi go, I want them fully armed and ready without worrying about Raru, he wants us all dead", said Exar.

"How were you able to come here?" demanded a Jedi.

"I was able to find a link from my spirit seal to here and have been monitoring the events ever since I discovered the link three-thousand years ago, now go Jedi and take back what is your then we will fight", said Exar.

Obi-Wan did not like this talk but Satoshi had all ready started leaving and the Jedi reluctantly followed.














It is a bit extreme I know but I have a few plans. I plan to another post soon.

 

Interesting...Up!

JS

 

The Jedi and left and know all eyes were on Exar Kun, each Sith with feelings of anger, relief, and confusion.

"What was that for?" demanded Freedon.

"I am the one who brought the Sith glory and I will do it again", said Exar.

"By letting our enemies go?"

"No, Raru was trying to kill us both, I think now is the time when true leadership will come, look at what has happened over the time of this so called war. Bane led you all to a civil war, Freedon took over and used the battle to get at Satoshi, I now come to lead to you to a victory or shall I say direct you", said Exar.

"What do you mean direct?"

"Well I want to return to the spirit temple on Yavin to fullfil my last wish in the galaxy; defeat the one who could defeat the Choosen One", said Exar.

"You mean you will help us then go to the temple to fight Luke Skywalker?"

"Precisely and now if you will we have other matters to attend to", said Exar.

***

The Jedi had left and now Satoshi stood regaining his strength. He looked at the Jedi and other soldiers then he looked out to the Grand Jedi Temple.

"We must help Jador", he said.

But all before him were exhausted then Qui-Gon stepped forward.

"I will go", said Qui-Gon.

"And I", said Obi-Wan and then his relpy was mimicked with other voices and soon enough they were marching toward the temple.

***

Jador was beaten and then he felt hope, Satoshi had mentally contacted him, the Jedi were coming.

Raru looked at him and knew immediately, he got up and ordered the few Sith to go and meet the Jedi in an attack. Then he glared and Jador and raised his hands and began electricuting him. Jador caught force lightning and threw it back into Raru. Raru was surprised and it hit him and threw him back into the wall, it gave away and he fell down the Temple. His body hit the wall and then he managed to hold himslelf up with the force, but Jador took out his lightsaber and threw it down at Raru and manuevered it to follow Raru. Raru was trying to escape but had seen it too late and it cut through his waist. The blade returned to Jador and now Jedi had come to the Temple.















I know the battle may have taken a seemingly bad turn but it will turn out better.

 

Once again...interesting...but what's happening to Padme?

JS

 

And Mace. You can't leave him like that.

 

Oh dear, I missed that many posts? Sorry guys

So Freedon Nadd is no longer the strongest sith, Raru is (I'm guessing) dead, I'm not dead (YAY!), Luke and Anakin met, and all this other stuff! Those posts were awesome! I can't wait for more!

 

Okay people I will now take you to Mace and Pad


Mace was on his back on what felt like a rough rocky surface. He had a gash in his heada nd he felt pain throbbing in his arms and legs. Slowlyy the Jedi moved over and looked down at the dirt. The air was cold and the sounds were muted.

Mace managed to stagger upward and immediately fell off what appeared to be a ledge, he grabbed the edge before falling. It was a tall skinny piece rock going upward from the guard. Beneath him a man stood and then appeared to be getting closer.

The Jedi got onto the rough platform and looked at the person getting closer, he did not need to guess who it was.

Soon enough Jango Fett was on the platform and he had his two blasters in hand. The two stood at each other in a suspended silence until finally Jango spoke.

"It took me a awhile to get the blasters the right model I wanted. Now Jedi we can finish what was unproperly finished", said Jango.

"I have no business with you, let me go", said Mace.

"So to Jedi if you kill a man it is nothing more after it is done, that's how it is with me", said Jango.

"You were killed by me only because I needed to eliminate a threat, on top of that you tried to kill me and other Jedi, you also managed to kill one", said Mace.

"Please, we will do this the right way, here's your lightsaber, meet me down there", said Jango pointing to the ground then he used his jetpack to go down.

Mace had the force and flew down with him. Jango stopped him when they reached the ground and then walked to the same distance he was at when he had gotten up to fire at Mace at Geonosis.

"You took me from my son and now I will take you from your precioud Jedi", said Jango.

Then immediately he approached Mace, Mace in turn ignited his purple blade. Jango was in close range.

The two were only a few feet apart when Jango fired and the blaster shot was deflected into the sky.

He backed off on his jetpack and fired rapidly at Mace. The shots were deflected and then he brought himself to Mace and fired more.

Mace deflected all shots easily and the last came and hit Jango in the shoulder. Then Mace approached him and closed down his lightsaber.

"I am sorry you were taken from your son, but because of your help the galaxy was destroyed and others lost their fathers, is that what you wanted? You did not honor your son in helping Sidious then", said Mace.

"I helped Tyrannous", retorted Jango.

"He was under the influence of the darkside, he has come to his senses now", said Mace.

"Haven't we all?, well I still want to get payback for what you did", said Jango.

"Jango now is not the time for this", said a voice in the distance.

Jango turned to the direction the voice came from and then he looked at Mace.

"This isn't over Jedi", said Jango and then he left.

***

Padme looked across the table at Xizor, the table was nearly cluttered of various foods from Naboo. She did not even want to eat, but she did.

Xizor was annoyed because she was not speaking. He cleared his throat.

"I hope you do not feel like a prisoner, I am merely trying to show you a good time", said Xizor.

"A good time, you hold me prisoner and try to show me what you call a good time", said Padme.

"I could have used my natural pheremones to attract you to me but now I see you are a prize worthy of achieving the hard way, yes, you remind me of Leia Organa, she was the only one who could resist me, yes yuo will be a prize that will satisfy me very well indeed", said Xizor seemingly aroused.

"How dare you ", she said and threw down her napkin and ran out. Xizor smiled and laughed aloud, he would get her next to him in his bed.

 

Who is this voice.

Obi Shimi somebody save Padmè!
