To Teach a Duo

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon arrived in the Czerka district to the sight of flames and freshly dead bodies. As any Czerka personnel that dared to pick up a weapon was killed with no question. Whether it is by blade, whip, fist, foot, Force, glaive, fire, lightning, or dropping a wall on their skulls.

I was watching them as they carefully walked through the carnage.

"Master, who could have done this?", Kenobi asks with disbelief.

Jinn shakes his head, "I am not sure. I have my suspicions. However, if I am right. Then Princess Fanry has a hand in this. Along with her victory being guaranteed."

Kenobi is confused, "Why would her victory be guaranteed? We're still here, we can still restore the peace."

At this, I laugh aloud for them to hear...me from all directions.

Jinn visibly sags his shoulders, "Hmm, he is indeed here."

"It's the Predator.", Kenobi says in solemn recognition. 

"Peace is...temporary, Jedi.", I say as I land a few feet in front of them whilst uncloaked.

"Change requires conflict. Peace, cannot expunge Czerka and restore the planet to its rightful state.", I continue.

Jinn asks seriously, "What state is that?"

I illuminate him, "Out of corpo control, and back into Fanry's hands."

Kenobi huffs, "It is for the better, and Czerka is not controlling anybody. It is all transactional and legal. No one is getting hurt."

I laugh again, "Naive, it may hurt them physically, but have you looked around at the people. The nobles, and the rich may want Czerka. They may want a strong parliament, but it is all for their benefit. If they could, they wouldn't let the common people benefit at all.

Czerka may not be hurting them, but they are grasping at their spirit. They are replacing their culture with commercialism, greed, and constant work for money they quickly spend.

The people do not like this, but what can they do? They are WEAK! They cannot do anything to save themselves. At least not peacefully. Which is why Fanry has taken action, by calling me. I can rectify this situation."

Jinn interjects as Kenobi is left with a philosophical blow, "At the cost of lives. These people are just being paid to their jobs. They're innocent."

I shake my hand, "No, they are not. Evil held out reward, and they took the hand of evil. They ignored, they distanced themselves, they justified. They were all adults with brains. They made their choice. They sold their souls."

Jinn sighs, "Even then, we cannot let you continue with this rampage."

I raise my arms, "Why? This is sanctioned by the true ruler of Pijal. The reagent no longer matters."

"The reagent is the formal ruler for now. His word is over Fanry's until she turns 18.", Jinn says while igniting his lightsaber. Kenobi follows with his own lightsaber ignition.

I take out Destined Death and the blades howl to life, "He overstepped. He was supposed to preserve the government, and planet for Fanry. No abuse his power to taker away her powers to the point she'll only a symbolic ruler when she turns 18. The Jedi, did not do right as a neutral entity."

Jinn readies himself, "Maybe so, but this reaction is too much." Kenobi stands by Jinn.

I scoff, "Fanry is being merciful, this isn't nearly enough."

Jinn makes the first move with a lunging thrust with Force Speed. I parry it aside with my lower blade and slice down with my higher blade. Kenobi was close behind as the he blocked the blow for Jinn. Allowing Jinn to continue attacking.

They assail me this way. Kenobi focuses on defense while Jinn focuses on attack. For Jinn to trust Kenobi to defend him like this, is surprising. Although Kenobi is proving to be worthy of that trust even though he is still young. I can already see the absolute master of defensive lightsaber combat standing before me in the future. However, he is that man yet.

I shift the ground where Kenobi is about to step. The surface looks sturdy, but is cracked concrete beneath. Kenobi steps in it and his foot falls in just a bit. Which is enough for me break his defense leave a nasty cut on his lightsaber arm. I spared the amputation since he isn't a Skywalker. I threw a palm out at Jinn right after, propelling him into a burning building.

Kenobi had dropped his lightsaber from the strike. Before he could pick it up with his left hand, I leapt at him and hit him in the side with a flying sidekick. The ribs on his left side fractured.

Jinn came out of the burning unburned but dusty to see his Padawan get sent flying away by my kick.

He scowled and attack me again. Now it was just me and him fighting. He was struggling to keep up with me though. I wasn't even fighting fast.

I sigh as we clash, "You knew I would win, so why fight?"

He grunts, "Who else is there to try and stop you that has even the smallest chance?"

I then astonish him by grabbing the lightsaber by the blade, "There is no one on this planet that can stop me, not even you Jedi. So just watch from now on while things are set right."

I then swing my leg to kick his knee at a speed he can't react to. I kick his knee in and it bends unnaturally backwards. Jinn lets out a quick grunt of pain but doesn't shout. A tough bastard.

He falls to the ground as I let go of the lightsaber.

"You and your Padawan can now relax. You both did your best, and did well. I'm just on a different level. I'm going to get back to work now.", I say.

I cloak and go back to slaughtering Czerka assholes. The Jedi are in no condition to try and stop me anymore. Jinn can't walk and Kenobi can't breathe right.
