Star Wars the Wrath of Thrawn (the Official Wattpad Version)

Chapter 2

Grand Master Luke Skywalker, once the ace pilot of the Rebellion now the first Grand Master of the New Jedi Order, walked proudly among his students in the Temple's garden. He, wearing his traditional Jedi Robes white and brown, examined the students as they trained among themselves; some fighting with training sticks, others meditating while using the Force to levitate large rocks, while a few simply watched their fellow classmates or trained with their respected masters. The Force was strong in them all, great potential for Knights of the Jedi and to fill the galaxy with them once again before the Dark Times of the Empire.

As he walked one boy, a young Togruta, had stumbled off the training platform and landed on his face. Luke helped him up, smiling warmly as the boy bowed respectfully to his Grand Master.

"I'm sorry, Master Skywalker. I tripped and Ness El took advantage of it and--"

"There is nothing to apologize for, Zora," Luke said. "Remember always to use your abilities to your side, the Force is a powerful ally to have when used the right way. Mistakes happen, but we learn from our mistakes to grow. Understand?"

"Yes, Master. I'll try."

"No. Do or do not. There is no try," the boy bowed again and returned to his sparring partner.

As Luke made his rounds, he could feel the Force around him in perfect harmony. The Galaxy was at peace at last, and so was the Force after being freed from the Dark Side. He took deep breaths as he made his way to the gardens where many of the students were practicing Meditation and breathing exercises, with some floating objects and themselves into the air. But then there were occasionally be a student taking a quick nap while in meditation position, so the teachers had to toss a pebble at one causing him to wake up. Luke gave a quick laugh as he headed inside the Academy; the Great Temple from the inside was like a great palace. Decorated with curving polished wood and holoprojections of many famous Jedi Knights, wooden and stood monuments that had been reclaimed from the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, and rooms filled with the Knowledge of the Jedi and training chambers.

Luke walked into one of the training rooms where he could see a group of students, armed with practice blades as the others wearing combat training armor, with a signal student only without the armor. Ben Solo stood ready with his weapon in both hands. The Combat Platform began to move in midair, using the gravity devices to levitate, as the armored students readied themselves again their older classmate. Ben took a few breaths before grinning like his father and dodged the first attack with such ease he took him out quickly, the others attacked at once. Ben used the Force to push one over the edge along with one other. They didn't plummet to their deaths; the gravity wells prevent them and lowered them onto the floor with a sudden landing on their rears. He then dodges and parried with this one student, their blades making static sounds as they clashed, he examined his opponent's armor and saw an opening. By using the butt end of his sword, grappling the other student's blade by the wrist and pulled it just hard enough to make the opponent drop his weapon letting Ben take it and shocked him out of the ring. Soon there were about three opponents left, with Ben holding two training swords ready for a fight. But before they could continue the arena bell, a timer, buzzed loudly signifying that the sparring match was over. Ben looked a little disappointed as the arena ring drifted back to the main floor, the students all taking a breath as they took their helmets off and walking off to change back to their normal clothing. Ben congratulated his opponents, shaking each of their hands and saying they did very well even the ones he pushed them off. One of the Students helps take the armors and the practice swords, as Ben smiled to his Uncle Luke, who had taken him under his wing when he first arrived.
