Star Wars: The Jedi Chronicles:Enter The Shadows (Books 1-4)

Chapter: Ten The Attack

It’s about eight o’clock in the morning on the three hundredth sixty-eighth day of a Coruscant year... also known as Doom’s Day. Censes has lost control over all the planets except for Coruscant. Shain is frantically sending everyone to their ships and stations.

Shain: I need five people for the Jedi temple. I want Willie, Nathan Hall, Paul, and Michael.

Willie: I think you should take less people and Josh...

Shain: Why is that?

Willie: ‘Cause you two are brothers. A Force Bond is strongest among brothers.

Shain looks at his brother for a moment.

Shain: Paul, I want you on the ground; Michael leading the space front. Josh, you’re with me. Cody is in control of what goes on with the actual attack on the Jedi temple. In that assault group will be Sarah, Andrew, Nathan Hall, Aria, and Carl. Your padawans too, if you want them to come.

Shain: Michael is space leader. Anthony, your battle mediation will be useful... You are also in space, where its safest. Anyone with battle meditation will be on a ship. Paul, Elena, Dudley, and Nathan Ingram you guys are in the space battle. Any questions?

Ben: Yeah! Where do Jacob, Jordan and I go!?

Jacob: Yeah, we want to help.

Jordan: I want to help you and the clones!

Shain: You three are going home. I am not about to send you guys in there, knowing what we’re up against.

Jacob: What!?

Shain: No.

Ben: But!

Jordan: --

Shain: No!! You’re going home! That’s final! Troops, escort my brothers home!

Two troopers take Shain’s youngest brothers to a transport ship.

Shain: Everyone come here and form a circle.

Everyone is a bit confused as to why Shain is making them do this, but they do it anyway.

Shain: We are going to use a Force move called Force Meld. It allows us to have one consciousness and draw strength from each other.

Anthony: Oh, cool! I’ve always wanted to try this!

Shain: Well, here’s your chance.

The group uses the move, each person joining their senses, and thoughts to the others.

Aria: (thinks) Ok, being inside everyones’ heads is officially weird.

Jacklinea: Creepy...

Shain: Guys... We are looking at the biggest thing we have ever faced before... Willie, you gave me a song back home before this all started by 12 Stones... I’m changing the lyrics a bit to fit us but you get the picture...

“We walk alone in the unknown.We live to win another victory! We are the young, dying sons and daughters! We are living to change the face of history! Being afraid is the price we pay for never fearing before.

The only easy day was yesterday. Hear our voice, because we have a choice and it's time to face it! We are one! We will stand together and be unstoppable! We are The chosen ones! We will fight forever if we have to!

(At this point Shain is almost yelling) Because we are one and we won't tire! We are the bold, united souls and we live to win another victory!!! Our sacred scars show who we are! And tell the story of our memories! And we have been though a lot... “
