Chapter 314: Supreme Grandmaster of Jedi Order
"Hoho... I am getting excited." Alexander chuckled.
"Okay, first I will show you how precognition can be used in a fight. I know, it requires a lot of concentration to do this but once you\'re good enough you can do it in fighting too. Let\'s start."
All the Jedi ran towards him and encircled him. However, they didn\'t come one by one. They all attacked at the same time.
Alexander secretly started doubting that Yoda was faking being old because of the speed he was moving at. He was swinging his sword while jumping from left to right.
But dodging their lightsabers was easy for him. He kept on dodging them and also making small cuts on each of their clothes whenever he was in their sticking range or someone made a mistake.
Nobody was able to sense those tears in their clothes but each of them meant one death for them. The hardest of them to cut was Anakin as he was able to see one second in the future. But even that ability didn\'t help when Alexander started using illusions and 12 more look-alikes like him appeared.
"Now, this is an illusion but don\'t become careless. Because you don\'t know which one is me or which one is your enemy." Alexander said.
They didn\'t understand his words at first but when they looked around they couldn\'t see other masters. Everyone looked absolutely the same as Alexander, plus there were 12 more real illusions to annoy them and mimicking the other master\'s voices.This was really terrifying. They might end up fighting each other this way.
Seeing nobody moving, "But this is no fun so let\'s continue."
The moment Illusions vanished they again attacked him. Now Alexander had started overpowering them. Each of his strikes was powerful enough to throw two Masters a few tens of feet away in the air.
But they also kept on coming back as Alexander wasn\'t doing them any heavy damage.
"Haha, it has been 40 minutes since we started this. I can see many of you are lacking in stamina. Stamina training will become compulsory from tomorrow." He announced like he was already the grandmaster.
"You haven\'t won yet. We can keep on going." Mace Windu said.
"No, you can\'t. You should also look down at your clothes. Each small cut represents the time I was close enough to kill you if I was an enemy," Alexander replied with a smile.
They all looked down and were terrified. Each of them had more than ten cuts. Then they looked back at him and saw him still smiling.
They felt something was wrong with his smile. Soon they started realizing what it was.
Shaak Ti looked at Alexander with horrified eyes, "Why can\'t I feel the force?"
"It\'s like... it doesn\'t exist around us anymore," Obi-Wan added.
They all tried to use various abilities related to force but they couldn\'t even sense the force, forget using it.
Alexander went back to his seat and sat down relaxedly. "That is something I call \'The Void\'. I didn\'t take away your force nor am I stopping it from reaching you, at least actively.
"I am simply absorbing all the Force around here with such intensity that nothing is left for you. This is a very dangerous ability that if performed wrongly could cause people around to instantly die by force getting dried out of their body."
"I can also permanently take away someone\'s connection with the Force by making their body a Force repulsor. Though the person will become very weak and have to rely on medicines to live by because the Force will not give them strength.
"I can not just stop the force from reaching any force sensitive in this area but also the whole Galaxy. And this is why I am also known as the Master of the Force. This is the last stop in any Force practitioner\'s life. But nobody has reached this point because of the stupidity of the order itself."
Everyone was truly shocked at the moment. To them, Alexander looked like a literal god right now. How powerful do you have to be able to stop the Force throughout the Galaxy?
Their eyes were wide open and twitching, thinking that even if they can learn just 5 percent of what Alexander knows then they could be the best Jedi in history.
Mace Windu walked to Alexander and suddenly fell on his knees. "Grandmaster!"
Alexander didn\'t like him kneeling. So he used force and made Mace stand up, "No kneeling in front of me. I am not your emperor. I am not here to start the Jedi Empire. I am just here to guide you on how to become a better and true Jedi and truly restore balance. If you really want to salute then just do it like this with a slight bow. it\'s a sign of respect to your teachers and Elders."
He showed them the Kungfu salute with a very slight head bow. It was never bad to respect your teachers.
"So, are you all satisfied? Do I become the Grandmaster now?" Alexander loudly asked.
This time everyone did the Kungfu salute. Even Yoda Junior.
"Haha, I\'ll take that as a yes. Okay, I will be creating a new curriculum for you all by keeping your expertise and fighting style in mind. I will also be making a specialized curriculum for our Younglings to give them the best foundation possible. Then I will also give you a lot of study materials which you will use to train your padawans. Got it?" He asked.
"Yes, Supreme Grandmaster." They all replied, but they added the word Supreme for some reason.
"Why did you add Supreme?" He questioned.
Yoda again saluted and answered quickly, "Because I am also a grandmaster and I am not even close to you in the understanding of the force. Your status is higher than any force wielder in the Galaxy."
Hearing that, Alexander felt like he was in some Shaolin temple right now and he was their Shifu.
"Haha, okay. Any questions before we end this practice session?" he inquired.
Yoda spoke again. "Wise one, you said that we have not been able to reach the pinnacle of being a force practitioner because of our own foolishness. What do you mean by that?"
Everyone was interested in knowing all that. "Oh, take seats then, I will give you a small lecture about the problem with our current Order."
He again made all the chairs fly in front of him so they would all face him. He also invited all the Jedi masters and Knights who were not busy.
"Oaaaaa..." Yoda Junior just took a cute big yawn. He was probably feeling sleepy because no one talked to him all this time. Alexander made him fly into his arms and he cuddled in it with a smile and went to sleep.
All the female Jedi Masters made awing noises seeing the cute scene.
Alexander coughed and started, "Okay, let\'s start with the problem. You see, the Jedi history has been filled with so many conflicts between Sith and Jedi.
"But every time the Sith attacks the Jedi, the Jedi Order comes to the brink of extinction. One, because we refuse to see what is in front of us and keep on waiting for a signal from the force. And two, we hesitate to fight.
"Whenever the Sith attacked the Jedi temple, they made sure they destroyed the library so that all the knowledge gained in a hundred or thousand years would be lost. So, eventually, when Jedi win, they have to start over.
"Repeat this process again and again and we reach this moment where we are so stagnant in our evolution as Jedi that getting corrupted or losing faith from the order has become common.
"Imagine if we had the teachings of the first Grandmasters, maybe there never would have been a Sith empire then." He explained.
Ahsoka raised her hand, "Yes, Ahsoka?"
She asked her question, "What about the Sith then? The Jedi never attacked their knowledge repositories. Does this mean they are stronger?"
Alexander shook his head, "No, they are not any more stronger than the Jedi in terms of strength. But in terms of conviction to achieve something, they tend to outpower the Jedi.
"The Sith drive their strength from negative emotion. So, they tend to be arrogant, petty, and selfish. Due to this, every Sith lord hides all the knowledge they learned and occasionally passes a little bit of it to their apprentice.
"Just look at what happened to Darth Plagueis. He had so much knowledge and even passed it all to his apprentice and yet his apprentice killed him in his sleep.
"This is why I feel it very strange that the Jedi are still not overpowering them even after being like a brotherhood. We should have our temples everywhere in the galaxy by now, with Jedi Masters numbering in the tens of thousands. But you all decided to involve yourself in politics and got stuck on this planet.
"But worry not, I will change things. Dark days are ahead of us. The Sith will rise again, but remember, after every dusk, there is always a dawn." He ended his lecture.
He told them a few more things about why they shouldn\'t make younglings suppress their emotions because children learn to tackle those emotions at that age, but he had to stop because a Padawan had come to report something.
Alexander wasn\'t officially announced as the new head, so the Padawan went on to report to Yoda.
"Grandmaster, General Grievous attacked a Republic ship in the Anoat system. The ship was transporting 10 younglings to here." The Padawan reported hastily.
Alexander stood up and stretched his back. "I will bring them back, don\'t worry. In the meantime, I want you to prepare to announce my overtaking of the Jedi Order and Neutral Ones as its Supreme Grandmaster.
"Don\'t worry, all that happened here was not seen by anyone. I had blocked it all with the force. See you later."
He got up and started flying straight up to where his ship was in space. Anakin and Ahsoka were left behind this time. Though he brought Yoda Junior with him as that was the safest place for him.
His going to General Grievous also marked the beginning of the end of this whole Republic vs Separatist fiasco and also the ambitions of Darth Sidious.
