The New Jedi Knights

Chapter 7: Jedi Knights' Past, Present, and Future

For a few minutes, everyone was quiet. They all knew that they would have their hands full until they put an end to the Emperor's evil plans. Ituor broke the silence. He said, "Before we deal with him again, we need to gather more help. I'll contact Telyr Zamau. For the time being, Ben and Emily need to keep up with their Jedi training. That even includes you, Jack. I see you can be a great Jedi yourself, one day. Samantha, I believe that you should be the one to train him. I know that you stated that you'll train your father, but he can resume his training on Earth. I know that we'll need every Tok'ra as Jedi Knights before we're through with this whole mess."

After he got through speaking, all five of them went to the training room onboard the ship. As they were walking to the training area, Brandon did not have to use the Force to see what Ben, Emily, and Jack had on their minds. When they reached their destination, he suggested that they all meditate on the events. They all sat in a circle with their legs crossed. "Remember, try not. Do or do not, there is no try. Open your mind and concentrate. Ben and Emily, you could contact me on the cruise ship at a long distance. Use that same concentration here now and anytime you use the Force. Everyone must concentrate without distractions."

After a short time, they heard a voice. It said, "Welcome all. I have been expecting you since the beginning of the Jedi Order. Welcome Master Jedi Brandon Bowers, welcome Master Jedi Samantha O'Neill, welcome Jedi Apprentice Ben, Emily Aaron, and welcome Jedi Apprentice Jack O'Neill."

I am the one who sacrificed himself into the machine of the Light-side of the Force. My name is Bodo Baas; I am a Krevaaki. The reason for me being the gatekeeper of the Jedi Holocron is that I am the keeper of the Light-side of the Force. I am talking to you now because I know what has been happening with all of you lately. You are right, Master Jedi Brandon Bowers. The Emperor is the Dark-side, as I am the Light-side. When the first Jedi Council found out that the Emperor sacrificed himself, we knew one of us had to do the same." [NOTE: as I have said before, there is more to the Force. What you are reading now, think of it as a parable. There is more to what Bodo Baas just said. As you read each story, you will learn more and more, but for now, this is what you will get.]

He gave a long pause as he looked at her, "There is a great deal between us, my daughter. That is right; I am your father. There is a reason for separating you and your sister. I see in your mind you have reunited with Skyma. That could not have come at a better time. Know this... she will protect you as you learn more of who you are and how it relates to the Jedi so long ago." "Master Jedi Sam O'Neill, you are correct in stating both machines are indestructible. Neither I nor the Emperor can die. We are the Force. Because we are both inside these machines, the Force is more powerful than originally designed. All Jedi Knights together protect the Force from being destroyed. That is why the Emperor wants to destroy all Jedi Knights. By awakening all the Ubaids, the Emperor has the power to carry that task out. As all five of you know, they are ancient Goa'uld. They are masters of the Dark-side of the Force. Many of them today are being trained as Sith."

The battles to come are more destructive than the last encounter with the Emperor. Yes, that is his name. He was one before he sacrificed himself. He separated from the Jedi Order because he wanted to control and conquer the galaxy. With the Stargate, he can conquer the Universe."

For many years there has only been one Force. It was not as powerful as it is today. For the longest time, Jedi Knights could only use it within the confines of the Jedi Sanctum. As the Jedi Order grew, we had to widen the range. It stretched out onto the entire city of the Jedi Order. It was then Palpatine had thought of evil schemes to control and conquer the galaxy."
