Star Wars The Clone Wars: Rise of a New Jedi

Chapter Two- Revelation

A new Sith arises! Kidnapped from his home planet, Slade Wayne is forced to learn the ways of the dark side by Darth Sidious and Count Dooku. But the young boy never forgets his promise to remain within the light. He manages to hide to the goodness within himself and plans to embrace the light side when the time is right. Meanwhile on Corousant, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have informed the Jedi Council of the events on Yavin. Master Yoda sends Anakin to inform Ahsoka of the endeuver, while the Jedi focus on coming up with a plan to save Slade.

Corousant; Anakin's POV

I arrived at the Jedi Temple, and my master was waiting for me at the landing bay.

"You made it just in time, Anakin." He said.

"Yes, master. I'm surprised at how strong Slade is. But I still can't help thinking that Master Wayne is right." I replied.

Obi-Wan put a firm hand on my shoulder.

"I know how you feel. I can't deny that there's a good chance that Bruce is right about his son. For now, we must inform the Jedi Council." He said.

We both went to the Council chambers and prepared for a meeting.

"I sense conflict within you, young Skywalker." Mace Windu said.

"Yes, master Windu. I know that romantic relationships are against the code of the Jedi. But I can't shake the feeling that master Wayne could be right. Love may very well be the only thing that can save Slade from corruption. I have a recording of the event that happened on Yavin." I replied.

I showed them the recording and the Council was surprised to see Slade fighting Ventress.

"He certainly is a good fighter. His parents taught him well." Master Luminara said.

"Indeed. And I sense that he can harness power from both sides of the Force. But my feelings tell me that his connection with the Force is unbalanced. But I can't understand why." Master Plo Koon replied.

Then the recording came to the time when Master Wayne told Slade that love can set him free. Master Yoda shook his head.

"Never thought I'd say it, I did. But right about Slade, master Wayne is. Love, he needs. Save him, it can." He said.

"Master Yoda, how can we be sure that love won't turn Slade to the dark side?" Mace asked.

"Know for certain of that, I do not. Say that there is no try, I do. But always a first time there is. And for the first time ever: try, we must. Help Slade balance the Force within himself, we can." Yoda answered.

"Yes master Yoda. I overheard Bruce and Selina's conversation before Ventress arrived. He said that you and master Windu can help Slade balance the light and darkness within him. Bruce also said that Obi-Wan would be a suitable master for him. Master Kenobi can help Slade restrain his anger. In fact, with the proper training, Slade may be able to use his anger against the Separatists without letting go of the light." I said.

"I never thought I'd say this, but Bruce is right. Master Yoda and I may be the only ones capable of helping Slade balance the Force within himself. And padawan Tano may be the only one who can save him. Perhaps love could give him the strength to resist the dark side." Master Windu replied.

"I'll go ahead and inform Ahsoka. She needs to know of this." I said.

"Go to her, young Skywalker. Know of Slade, she must. Help him, padawan Tano can." Master Yoda replied.

"Thanks master." I said, bowing with respect.

"We'll try to locate Slade, so that we'll know where to send Ahsoka. But don't worry. She won't go alone. Barriss and master Faye will go with her. Being the wisest among the Jedi, Master Faye can calm Slade down so that he knows that we wanna help him. For if Ahsoka goes to Slade's base alone, he might mistake her for a threat." Obi-Wan replied.
