I set the co-ordinates in the NAVI-computer and soon the starlines of hyperspace were surrounding us. I let DINK take the helm for a while, I need to get some rest, my arm hasn't really healed yet.

"I'm gonna catch some 'Z's ' You may want to do the same. I have a feeling we have a long road ahead of us!"

I don't really know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I didn't dream on this occasion. Lately the dreams have been getting more real, more intense! I'm not sure if I really want to know of my past. That path seems so lonely and dark, I'd much rather move forward with my ife, live well and free. But there is something almost... calling out to me, telling me to investigate the crash site.

I tossed and turned for most of the night in my bed. Which did not help my injuries at all, but for some reason I felt affraid to sleep too deeply. Yes there is definately something dark and OMINOUS waiting for me on ORB CARTEL. I just hope noone gets hurt in this little endevor of mine.

I finally rose from my bed, looking at my chronometer I noticed that it had only been 4 hours since I went to bed.

Then as if it suddenly dawned on me that poor little DINK may need some rest as well, I walked up to the cockpit to check on and releive DINK.

When I arrived up there DINK was fast asleep in the pilot seat. I carried him to his "ROOM" beneath the floor of my ship. Then I got myself a tall karaffe of JAWA JUICE, and began sipping it like a LATTE, as I watched the starlines whip past the ship until I heard JEBBUA stir from his assigned room.

"Are we almost there?" I asked him.

"why don't you wear this and practice with a remote."

The remote fired and fired, but I blocked them with expert precision. much of my skill was to my own amazement.

"I didn't think I could do anything like that!!! But I have been having a strange feeling in the back of mind as we have been approaching ORB CARTEL. Do you have any idea what that might be?"

I sat on the ground hoping he would do the same.

"Clear your mind and concentarte."

Then a stange feeling of DEJA VU came over me. I had done this before! Only this time the environment was more relaxed and pleasent. I let my mind soar free, as I had more visions of my past. This time my vision was of my teenage years, and how I had spent so many days and nights following the instructions of that Tall, Dark, Hooded man, on a planet I didn't recognize. He instructed mr on SABER techniques, moving objects, and what at the time I felt was very important MIND CONTROL.

It was all coming back to me now, more and more of my former life came to me in quick flashes like a presentation done in POINT FORM. The last vision I had was my ship crashing on ORB CARTEL...

The proximity sensor beeped in the background, I snapped out of my trance, and fell to the floor with a THUD!

"OW!" I said. "I just have to investigate that crash site!!! I need to know what happened to me on that day! I don't know why, I just have to."

I walked back into the cockpit and cut in the sublight engines. That momentary queaseyness passed quickly!

"You know," I started to say as I sat in the co-ploit seat. "I'd be happy to teach all there is to know of the force. If thats ok with you I could be your master and teach you."

i wacthed as the starlines turned back to stars and Ord Cartel appeared in front of us.
I looked back at Dash waiting for a reply.

I approached the wreckage, I began to feel dizzy. Something was happeing to me, I began to feel lightheaded. Suddenly I was looking at myself, my material form standing at the door of the crashed space craft unmoveing.
My ETHREAL being, floated around the remanents of to ship. It was as if I was in another dimention, and I was seeing things that were to difficult to comprehend. Suddenly I had this uneasy feeling...

I turned to the place I had buried the passenger, who had met an untimely death in the crash of my old ship, something was moving under the earth! To my horror, I saw an image of myself emerge from the ground, only this image of me seemed DARK and FORBODING.

IT started running towards me, igniting a RED bladed lightsaber, and moving into an attack position. I reacted accordingly, snapping my PURPLE blade to life. The being attacked me relentlessly, and I parried, and parried, and blocked and parried.
We seemed to be at a standstill, neither gaining the advantage, it was an epic battle of GOOD vs. EVIL, LIGHT vs. DARK. I had to admit the DARK seemed SOOO much stronger at first, but I had chosen my path.

This was one confrontation I did not want to have. I thought I had buried the DARK side of me when the ship crashed. I realized that I was drawn here to finally defeat this EVIL part of my being. I began to attack the EVIL part of myself, using my emotions as well as my lightsaber, not the FEAR, ANGER and AGGRESSION I had been taught to fight with all those years ago, but with LOVE, TRUTH, HONESTY, and DEVOTION!

I managed to stun my opponent, with a quick kick to the solarplexes. I seized the moment of opportunity, and grabbed on to the EVIL part of me, I plunged it down into the depths of my being, knowing that it would forever be a constant struggle to keep it at bay. But I knew that without EVIL, there can be no GOOD, they have to co-exist in each of us in order for us to survive.

With the struggle finally over, I floated back to my corpreal form and enterd back into the hollow shell...

"As of this moment, My new life begins!"

I walked out the ship and stared at the wreckage. Something was familar about it, but I couldn't remebmer. I turned back to Dash.

"where is the nearest civilization.?" I asked him.
Something about this craft I had heard a myth about.
But what? I thought.

I looked back at Dash, my padawan learner, and waited for his answer.

I walked back over to the delapitated ship.

"I'm just gonna salvage what I can of my belongings, from the ship."

That seems to be all I hear from Dash's mouth. I sure hope he appreciates all the hard work I do for him!

I sat down in my ROOM, and pondered. I've got a room full of GARBAGE, not one useful part here to create an ANTI-grav device with. What should I do???

Wait a minute, why don't they just move the ship using the FORCE???

I ran over to the scrap heap of a ship that DASH was scavenging through.
Look at the stuff he is leaving behind!!! This is GOOD stuff! I'll have to get it after he's done picking through it. I thought.

"Mabi nata ti ti OOO-TEE-DEE" I said to Dash, which roughly translated means use your head to move the ship.

Dash just looked at me funny.

I pointed to Dash and JEBBUA, and waved my hands in the air, as I immitated a floating ship.

Dash didn't catch on, but JEBBUA did. I could see it in his eyes.

"Size Matters not." I turned to the ship and closed my eyes. I reached out with the force and picked up the ship. It slowly rose and moved torwards the cargo hold. As soon as it hit the cargo hold I said to Dash.

"Of course, the bigger it is the more tired you get." I said.

And with that i fell to the ground into darkness.

I then fell to the ground quite exhausted.

When I finally awoke from my slumber, JEBBUA was standing over me. "Very good my young PADAWAN, you learn quickly! We will continue with your training here."

So over the next 2 weeks JEBBUA and I ran through my training exercises... with each new challenge laid out before me, I rose the new levels of FORCE COMPETENCE. I was really getting the hang of things. But I was still a little weak in the mind control area. Although commonly used by the DARK JEDI, I felt it may be a neccessary EVIL, that I be well versed in this practice as well.

"We will have to depart for CORUSCANT soon Master, if I am to put my new abilities to good use that is..."

Being the ever impatient being that I am "But MASTER. I have a feeling that we are needed there now!" I whined.

"It is true, you have come a long way, but you must have patience. We will go when you are ready. Now let's practice our SABER skills." Jebbua said as he ignited his lightsaber.

On the other hand... I did fing a little pet, I call him BITEY, he is a little SNERFBLAT, a native species of this moon. Cute little thing, always tring to help me by bringing me my tools.

Malf need food...

Malf eat Jawa friend, Bitey the Snerfblat...

Malf still hungry, Malf wonder what Jawa taste like...

Malf hyperdrive-hybernation work up healthy appetite...

"Do you feel that? A new presence. Someone else is here and its over behind your ship."

"OOO-TEE-DEE" I yelled at him, as a tear ran down my shiney yellow eye. I'll miss that little guy!

What am I to do? I can't fight this huge hairy guy, he would rip me to shreds!

I'll just stun him with this blaster and get DASH to deal with him...

"MALF... Where in the 9 stages of purgatory did you come from??? Have you been hiding on my ship all this time?"

I could tell by the distinctive ROARRRR, that echoed from the gaping maw of MALF that he was happy to see me. Probably because I had promised him dinner on me, when we landed.

"It's alright Master, MALF is a friend, I think... What seems to be the trouble here DINK?"

It was then that I saw a little bit of blood staining the fur on the corner of MALF's mouth. "OOO-TEE-DEE" DINK replied, I could sense that he was in dispare over the loss of his new little friend BITEY.

"I'm sure MALF is sorry DINK, I am as well! Master, now may be a good time to get to a civilized system... MALF has a habbit of, well, eating inedible things when he is really hungry. Looks like he is on that path now. And plus, I don't need MALF mad at me for not coming through with my promise!"

I walked around to the front of the ship and just stood there medaiting on the events on Corcasant, my dreams, and what happened here on Cord Mantell.

I would find the person in my dreams, i would figuare out a way to get onto Corcasant, and guide Dash to become a Jedi knight.
Such busy times. I thought

I ran to the ship, collecting DINK, and asking MALF politely if he will join us on our trip. He agreed. So I readied the ship for immediate departure.

"I've input the co-ordinates in the NAVI-computer Master. We might as well catch some rest."

I knew MALF and DINK could take care of the ship while we slept.

2 hours later...

I woke up all of a sudden. I was sitting in the co-pilots seat and the hyperspace button was flashing. I reached out with my mind and searched for Dash. I found him on his bed sleeping.

"Dash, Wake up. We're here." I said in his mind.

I pulled back the hyperspace lever and watched as we came back into realspace and Corcasant appearing in front of us.

I hope the same thing that happened last time doesn't happen again. I thought.
