Equestria Jedi Girlsby Dinomite123ChaptersA New Adventure AwakensThe Jedi TempleJedi TrainingA New Adventure AwakensIn a city far far away, there were a group of ninjas were fighting an army of droids called the Krang. Four were turtles, five were human allies, seven were teenage girls who had magical abilities, but ninja skills like them. "Hurry up, Guys! We gotta get that device back or the Krang will use it to travel to every country in the world!" Donnie demanded. "Don't worry, Donnie. We got the droid right in our trap." Leo said. A Krang droid was holding the device they were looking for. He was ready to open up a portal. "We must open the portal to the place to be the place of the new empire." One of the Krang said. "Hey, that device belongs to me!" Donnie charged at the two droids. But then was blocked by two other droids. Mikey jumped in and knocked down with his nunchuck fury. "Thanks, Mikey." "No Prob, bro." Finally, the ninja team surrounded them just in time. "All right Krang, handle over the device and everything will be mellow." Leo commanded. "Always the same stupid quotes." Raph sighed. "We are to eliminate your perfect countries into an earth of mutation proportion." Krang said. As more Krang droids surrounded them. "Great, what now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Plan B." Twilight quietly used her magic to lift up the droids, as they fired, Twilight and Rarity used their magic as a double shield. "Now What?" Applejack asked. "We wait." Leo ordered. While they were still firing, a giant crocodile named Leatherhead and a giant dark green turtle with a mace lunged in for a massive attack. "Now!" Leo shouted. Twilight and Rarity vanished their shields and they all jumped out for the finish. Leo and Donnie took down the two droids that had the portal device. The device went flying to the air. "Dudes, the portal thingie!" Mikey shouted. "I got it!" Pinkie Pie reached out for it and caught it. "Ha, I caught it. I caught it, I caught it, I caught it. I caught it!" Just then, Slashes battle made the ground shake and made Pinkie drop the portal device and broke on the ground. Then it began to electrocute and malfunction. The team were scared that might explode. "It's gonna explode!" Donnie screamed. Then a big flash formed the background. Then as they opened their eyes, they found themselves in some sort of deserted place full of dust and ashes. "Where in tarnation are we?" Applejack wondered. "I don't know, but this doesn't look one of those old arc warehouses in new york." April said. "And theirs so much dirt and dust everywhere." Rarity coughed. "Out of all the dimensions we've been to, like Gotham, Moo Mesa, and the other New York. And now this?" Raph moaned. "Now Raph, we don't know if this is another dimension." Leo said. "Plus, everytime we travel one we end up making new friends and helping them beat down bad guys." Casey said. "Well maybe this one will be different." Karai replied. They all looked around the hall, they saw that looked like sci fi texts and space symbols. "My guess is this use to be some sort of temple that as been deserted for centuries." April said. "I mean look at all these symbols." "But what do they mean?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Don't know, but it does look like some sort of space history." Donnie replied. Mikey was observing as well, then he sees a blue crystal glowing. "Wooow! Dudes check this out." "What is it, Mikey?" Leo asked. "It's a shiny glowing crystal." "Ooooh, it looks gorgeous." Rarity beamed. "I don't know, guys. What if it's been used for evil?" April felt worried with the memory of Zan-Noran. "Calm down, April. That was in the past, what could go wrong?" Mikey picked up the crystal. "See? Nothing bad happened." The team sighed in relief. "So, I see you've found the kyber crystal." "Who said that?" Leo pulled out his sword. "You've all lead me to the treasure I have hoped for." They all turned to see a man in a brown clothes and white hair and beard. "Who are you? "No need to be so anxious my friends. I am Count Dooku, I have come to take back what is rightfully ours." He said. Mikey looked at the crystal in hand. "You mean this?" He asked. "Yes. So now you may hand it over." Mikey was about it hand it over until Leo stopped him. "Wait! What are you planning to do with it?" asked. "If you must know, I will bleed it and use it for another sith and he will be my new apprentice." Count Dooku answered. "If your planning to use that crystal for evil then we're not giving it to you." April shouted as she pulled out her war fan. Count Dooku pulled out a handle and activated it. The tip turned on releasing a red glowing blade. "If I may ask you again, hand it over." "Your gonna have to go through us first!" Leo charged at him. Leo swung his katana at him, Dooku used his laser sword for block defense. Leo looked that the blades of his swords were easily sliced by his weapon. "Weakling, your metal weapon is no match for my lightsaber." "Maybe mine will." Raph charged at him and leaped towards him. He used a great power with his hand that pushed Raph right into a wall. "An order to beat me you must have the force. Unfortunately, I don't sense any force within you all. So let's make it official." He grinned. He use his hand again, this time it released a lighting power the shocked Leo. "LEO!" Twilight cried. She blocked the lighting with her magic. "Get him, girls!" Pinkie grabbed little rocks and threw it at Dooku as they lit up. But he swung them away with his lightsaber. Rarity threw her multiple diamond magic at him, but he did the same thing. "Hey, magic guy behind you." Count Dooku swung his lightsaber at whatever was behind him. But no one was there. "Over here." A finger poked his shoulder. He swung it again. "That's right. I'm right here." He turned to see Rainbow Dash. Before she could speed off, Dooku use his power to hold her still. "I'm giving you all one last chance, hand the kyber crystal over to me. Or else die." He demanded. "Never. Even if we have to die because of it." Leo said. "You've had your chance." As he was about to finish Rainbow Dash... "Count Dooku!" He turned to see it was none other than his nemesis...Obi Wan Kenobi. "Kenobi. I'm surprised." "In the name of the galactic republic, I order you to stand down and surrender to this facility." Obi Wan ordered. "I shall not tolerate to the orders of a jedi." "Then you have met your match. And for your information, that kyber crystal will not be under your hands." "Or will it?" Count Dooku lets go of Rainbow Dash and prepares his duel with Obi Wan. Obi Wan activated his lightsaber, this time his blade was blue. The two enemies charged and clashed both lightsabers. "Go, get the crystal out of here while I hold him off for you." He shouted to the Ninjas. "Go!" They ran to the exit, but Dooku use his power to crumble stones to block the exit. But Kenobi use his same power to lift up the stones to keep it from blocking the exit. "Go! Now!" The team ran to the exit. Obi Wan called on his comlink. "Anakin, I found the kyber crystal. It was found by a bunch youngsters before me, they were confronted by Dooku, but I'm holding him off for them. They're on there way to the exit, take them to safety while you can." Meanwhile, the ninjas were heading to the exit. "This way, we should be out on time." Leo said. On their way, they ran into two space warriors who happened to be Obi Wan's friends who he ordered them to bring to safety. "Whoa, slow down." He ordered. "Who are you guys." Sunset asked. "I'm Anakin Skywalker and this is My apprentice, Ahsoka Tano." He answered. "We heard that you had the crystal. Is it safe?" Ahsoka asked. "Uh, yeah. What do you want with it?" "We'll explain that later, just come with us." "How do we know your not planning to do something evil with it?" April groaned. "Just trust." Anakin said. They knew they had no choice. They followed them outside the temple. They were all shocked to see that what it was...a war! There were armies droids and troopers blasting and jedi's fighting along with them. "Whoa!" "Dude, this is awesome." "This is war!" "Follow Me." They all ran to the safe areas during the battles. "Rex, fall back and recruit the men back into the gunship." Anakin called on his comlink. "Roger that, General." Captain Rex called. "All right, boys. General Skywalker wants us to fall back. Lets' move, move, move!" The clone troopers hold their weapons and retreated to their ships. The droids were confused. "Why are they falling back?" "No clue." "General, they're falling back." "Keep it that way." Said a grunting general on his comlink. "The republic knows not what awaits." All the clones return to their ships, Anakin, Ahsoka and the Ninja team made to one of them. "Wait, what about Obi Wan?" Ashoka reminded Anakin. "Obi Wan, get out of the temple. We're about to leave." "Copy that, Anakin." Obi Wan decided to end his duel with Count Dooku. "Guess we'll have to wait until next time to corporate on your mischiefs on that crystal." He said as ran off. "We'll see, Obi Wan. We'll see." Count Dooku said. Obi Wan made it outside the temple and to the ship where Anakin, Ahsoka, and the ninjas were in. Anakin helped Obi Wan onto the ship. They flew off and made it off the planet. "I'm surprised, you've actually found little ones with the crystal." Anakin said. "Hey, we're not kids." Rainbow Dash grunted. "And will somebody please explain to us what's going on?" Donnie said. "We'll explain on our way to Courasant." Obi Wan replied. "Huh?" Meanwhile on Lothal, a part cyborg, part alien in a cape walked through where the battle was. He underneath his mask he grinned at Count Dooku's plan that was explained to him. "Go ahead and run, Jedi. Because as long we have official well beings you will never be able agitate the missions of our new apprentice's." The Jedi TempleThe republic gunships went all the way from Lothal to Coruscant. It flew through a huge city with floating transportations and lead straight to a huge temple. "So, where exactly are you taking us?" Mikey asked "To the Jedi temple." Ashoka answered. "It's where the Jedi Knights train and learn the ways of the force." Anakin added in. "And it's a home to them." Obi Wan said. The Turtles and Rainbooms were confused. They didn't know what they were talking about. "Part me for asking, but...what's a Jedi Knight?" Sunset Shimmer asked. The three Jedi were shocked. Who in this world has never heard of the Jedi. "You mean to tell me you've never heard of the Jedi?" "No, we're not from this world. We're from a city called New York." Leo said. "Not a city that I know of." Obi Wan commented. "Look, we just need observe and learn about your sci-fi world if you just explain it all to us." Donnie ordered. "We'll be most welcome to explain all of it to you all." Anakin added in. At last, they arrived at the huge temple and landed on the platform. "Younglings, welcome to the Jedi Temple." Obi Wan announced as the ship's doors opened. The ninja team were shocked to view of a huge temple that was five times bigger than the a mall. Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ashoka lead them inside the temple, through the hallway stood statues, armored temple guards with lightsaber staffs with yellow blades, and younglings, padwans, and jedi walking around the hallway. "Dude, this place is something like Crognard would explore." Mikey beamed. "Temples are extreme." Pinkie said. Finally, they reached the Jedi council room. To the ninjas suprised, most some of them were human, but most of them were aliens. And the most one that was sitting in the middle of the council was a green creature with long ears and tan and brown robes layered. The ninja team felt like they were in some type of video game, except they weren't. "Master Yoda, the kyber crystal is good use now. We have it in our hands." Obi Wan told the green creature. "In proper hands as you say." Yoda said. "And to new abilities the crystal must." "Unfortunately, we weren't the ones who found it. These young ones did." They introduced them to the jedi masters and they were nervous to talk to people from outer space. "Oh have they? Come step forword." A black bald man named Mace Windu called. The stepped into the center corner of the room. "Show us the crystal." Leo showed the crystal in his hand. "Can you at least tell us what this is for?" He asked. "The kyber crystal is a power source of a lightsabers blade." Mace Windu answered. "Count Dooku was meant to find it and use it bleed for the sith's lightsabers." "Wait, this whole war we saw out there was just for a crystal." Twilight asked. "No, a war with the Galactic Republic this is." Yoda answered. "And it is said that you fought Dooku without knowing the force?" Mace Windu said. "Hey, we're ninjas. We've been trained by our own master and he taught us the ways of ninjitsu." Raph said. "And what is the force?" Sunset asked. "Strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement, or course." Donnie suggested. "The Force is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together." Windu explained. "Harnessing the power of the Force gives the Jedi, the Sith, and others sensitive to this spiritual energy extraordinary abilities, such as levitating objects, tricking minds, and seeing things before they happen. While the Force can grant users powerful abilities, it also directs their actions. And it has a will of its own, which both scholars and mystics have spent millennia seeking to understand." "No wonder we were no match for that Dooku guy your talking about." Rainbow Dash said. "You cannot fight in your own style, the sith are more powerful than you think." Another jedi master named Plo Koon told them. "If you even care about being a jedi you must learn the ways of the force." A female jedi master named Shaak Ti said. "So what? We're just gonna leave ninjitsu behind and learn space hero ways?" Raph said, annoyed. "In case you didn't notice, we are talking to aliens." Rarity mumbled. "But usually we train much younger children to the ways of the jedi, and you are much to old." Mace Windu said. "However, most personalities you have that I sense." Yoda added. First, he pointed to the turtles. "You, fearless, hardworking, honorable and respectful." He pointed to Leonardo then Donatello. "Calm, sensible, quiet, friendly, and gentle, you are." Then Michelangelo. "Fun-loving, carefree, go lucky, always ready to fight." Then he pointed to Raphael. "But short-tempered, aggressive, sullen, maddened, sarcastic, and rebellious, you are." "So?" "Anger you have that I sense. Anger is the path of the dark side." "The dark side." "The side of the sith it is. Joined it, many jedi in the past have." Those words worried Raph, sure he has a temper. But will he able to control it the way Splinter always taught him? Then he pointed to the Rainbooms. "But the seven of the you girls...Loyal, Kind, Honest, Generous, Empathy, Laughter, and Harmony you all are." The girls smiled and beamed. "Hey, what about us?" Casey asked. "Stubborn, quick-witted, fearless, and quick each of you are." He answered. "It's been settled then, Padwan Ashoka, take these younglings to library to teach them the ways of the jedi." Windu ordered. "Sure thing, Master Windu." Ashoka led the ninja team to the library. "A new disturbance I sense." Yoda sighed. Ashoka led the ninja team into a library with shelves with books that look like glass lights. "In Jedi Archives, we learn the knowledge of Coruscant and the jedi ways." Ashoka said. "And keep holocrons." "What's a holocron?" Applejack asked. "A holocron is a crystallized holographic cube where information is storage." She went to one of the shelves and pulled out a holocron and it released the information they needed to know about the jedi. "The Jedi are powerful guardians of order and justice." Ashoka explained. "Who, through intuition, rigorous training, and intensive self-discipline, are able to wield a supernatural power known as the Force, thus achieving, for example, the ability to move objects with the mind, perform incredible feats of strength, and connect to certain people's thoughts." She explained the days of the old republic and all wars that the jedi have been through. "Wow, this sound like ancient history from space." Donnie sounded amazed. "Yep, the jedi have always had a legacy." Ashoka said. "But what this sith you talk about?" Raph reminded her. "The Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, was an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side of the Force. Driven by their emotions, including hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and obsessed with gaining power no matter the cost." "So they're evil jedi?" Karai asked. "You can say that. But there are other types of jedi out there. The Dark Jedi were Force-sensitives who were devoted to the dark side of the Force but were not Sith nor members of the Inquisitorius. The Grey Jedi was used by Jedi and Sith to describe Force-users who walked the line between the light and dark sides of the Force without surrendering to the dark side, and second, it described Jedi who distanced themselves from the Jedi High Council and operated outside the structures of the Jedi Code." Obi Wan returned for the kyber crystal. "Learning the ways, are we?" "Hey, I think I have something that you might need." Leo said as he pulled out the crystal and handed it to Obi Wan. But he decided... "Actually, I think this crystal goes to you." He said. "What?" "We were waiting for a Jedi member to arrive, but I figured since a new learner I figured you might save it until after your training is complete." "What training?" Leo wondered. "We had a talk with the council and we've decided we are taking you all to Kashyyyk to learn the ways of the force. The whole team was shocked to hear this kind of news. They were about to learn to become not only ninjas...but also jedi! Jedi TrainingOn a ship, the turtles, the Rainbooms, and the rest of their allies were on their way to a planet called, Kashyyyk. Mikey and Pinkie were beamed at the sight of a bright blue portal at the window. "Wow! Dudes, they’re like giant walking carpets!" Mikey beamed. "This is really cool. They’re so fluffy! I just want to hug them all!” Pinkie squealed. "It's called lightspeed." Ashoka explained. "It takes us farther to any planet that's far away." "So, what's this planet we're heading too?" Raph asked. "Kashyyyk." Anakin answered. "Huh?" "It's a planet where the Wookies live." "What's a Wookie?" The jedi's sighed "They're towering and noble creatures." Ashoka told them. "You'll understand once you've seen them." Finally, the lightspeed portal vanished. At last, they arrived at a big planet that looks like earth (except it wasn't). "We're approaching Kashyyyk now." Obi Wan said. The ship glided through the atmosphere, the lush green canopies of Kashyyyk’s forests coming into view. The Rainbooms pressed their faces against the windows, their expressions a mix of curiosity and wonder. “Look at those trees!” Fluttershy gasped, her voice filled with awe at the sight of the towering Wroshyr trees. As they landed, the ramp lowered, and the group was greeted by a chorus of deep, harmonious growls and roars. "What are those things?" April sounded scared. "Those are the Wookies I told you about." Ahsoka said. “They might look intimidating, but Wookies are known for their loyalty and bravery. They’re gentle giants at heart." As the door finally opened, the group stepped off the ship, the warm Kashyyyk air greeted them, carrying the rich scents of the forest. Just then, a female Jedi master approaches them. Her hair was tied like a hammer, and she is wearing a brown leather vest. "Welcome to Kashyyyk, young ones." She said. "My name is Mavra Zane, and I'm going to be participating in training you all in the Jedi ways." One particularly large Wookie stepped forward, his fur a shade darker than the rest, and let out a series of thoughtful growls. “This is Chief Tarfful,” Mavra Zane introduced. “He’s one of the most respected leaders among the Wookies.” Mikey, ever the enthusiastic one, attempted to mimic the Wookie’s growls, causing a ripple of laughter among the group and a low chuckle from Tarfful himself. Pinkie Pie bounced excitedly, clapping her hands at the interaction. “Your courage to embrace this new world is commendable,” Mavra continued. “Here, you will learn not just to wield a lightsaber, but also to understand the flow of the Force. It connects us to every living thing, and you’ll find that the Wookies are deeply attuned to it.” "Uh, I'm sorry, lady, but we don't need training!" Raph replied rudely, only to have Leo nogg him. "We really appreciate you helping us learn your ways." Leo said. "But, I don't know if we'll be able to do what you do in this world." "No need to worry." Mavra Zane said. "I believe the force will come to you and you will be able understand the Jedi ways." The group didn't understand about this force religion. "Is this "Force" thing like some sort of guidance or something?" Twilight asked. Mavra nodded. "Partly. " "Our master, also father, has taught us much more." Donnie replied. But this....is something different." Mavra Zane smiled, her eyes reflecting the golden light. “Remember, the Force is as much about knowing oneself as it is about knowing the galaxy. Trust in it, and it will guide you.” The group nodded. "Now, let us begin." The group’s training began with simple exercises, focusing on balance and awareness. "Your training begins with a difficult path. First, you will start by following Chief Tarfful." Mavra pointed to him. "Excuse me, you mean Bigfoot right there." Casey mocked. April nogged him. "Wookies here trained in these for Millennia." Mavra explained. "You must pay attention, observe how the Wookies move through the challenges. Your strength comes from the force. You will control it...if you are to complete your training." Leo was chosen to go first. He stepped forward a training dummy. "These training dummies can be pretty dispatched with a simple kick." Leo used a mighty kick which broke the dummy into pieces. The gang was shocked at that very moment. Leo continued to another dummy one by one. Next obstacle course was going to be kind of dangerous. "For the next task, you must use your senses to avoid these obstacles quickly." Marva said. Leo could see a bunch of barrel obstacles falling back and forth. He wasn't afraid because he took Splinter's training seriously. So, he closed his eyes and meditated on the stand. As an obstacle was approaching him...he ducked. As he stepped forward the more, he dodged every approach. The team was shocked at the whole show. At last, he reached the end. Marva was impressed to see someone with so much potential and confidence. "Now, who wants to go next?" She asked. The all looked at each other. "I'll go next." Raph replied. As he approached a dummy, he began beating at it and then smashed to the ground and started pounding it like his other dummy from the lair. "Enough!" Marva scolded. "That is not how a Jedi does things." Donnie stepped in and showed him how it's done. Donnie approached the dummy. With a calm demeanor, Donnie focused his energy, channeling it through his movements. Instead of brute force, he used precision and fluidity, striking the dummy in key points that caused it to collapse without much effort. The group watched in silence, learning that strength wasn’t just about physical power, but also about control and finesse. After Donnie, it was Mikey’s turn. He approached the task with his usual playful attitude, but there was a concentration in his eyes that wasn’t there before. He moved with a dancer’s grace, dodging and weaving through the obstacles with a smile on his face. His actions were a blend of martial arts and acrobatics, and when he reached the end, he struck a pose, eliciting cheers from his friends. Pinkie Pie was next, and her bubbly personality brought a light-heartedness to the training. She giggled as she hopped from one foot to the other, somehow turning the exercise into a game. Her laughter was infectious, and even Mavra Zane couldn’t help but smile at the display of joy. Fluttershy took her turn with a gentle approach. She seemed to move in harmony with the environment, her steps barely making a sound. Her connection with nature was evident, and it was as if the Force itself was guiding her through the obstacles. Twilight Sparkle, always the studious one, analyzed each challenge before attempting it. She used her intellect to predict the patterns of the obstacles, moving through them with calculated steps. Her methodical approach proved effective, and she completed the course with a nod of satisfaction. April, though initially hesitant, found her rhythm as she progressed. Her movements were cautious but determined, and with each successful step, her confidence grew. Casey, despite his earlier mockery, took the challenge seriously when his turn came. He was agile and quick, his street-smarts coming into play as he navigated the course with surprising skill. "You have all done well, but your path does not end here." Marva said. Later, they were on a grassy area. "A Jedi's ally is the Force, and it is very powerful. Feel it flow through you, but there must be control." "Your teaching us the impossible." Karai moaned. Marva Zane turned to Karai with a patient smile. “What seems impossible now is only the limit of your current understanding,” she said gently. “With time and practice, what is impossible becomes possible.” The group gathered in the grassy clearing, the air alive with the sounds of Kashyyyk’s wildlife. Marva raised her hands, and the group followed suit, closing their eyes to feel the world around them. "Allow me to demonstrate." She ordered. She closed her eyes and raised out her hand. For five seconds there was silence and then...a rock began to lift up. And then it dropped to the ground. "Did you just use telekinesis?" Mikey asked. "It's not that hard." Marva answered. Then he pointed to Leo. "You" I have seen you with a lot of courage and confidence. Why don't you go first?" Leo stepped right in, he sat down, crossed his legs together, closed his eyes, and mediated. Leo’s breathing slowed as he entered a state of deep meditation. The sounds of the forest faded into a harmonious silence, and he could feel the gentle pulse of the Force around him. With his mind’s eye, he visualized the rock that Marva had lifted. “Focus on the rock, Leonardo,” Marva’s voice echoed in his calm mind. “Feel its weight, its texture, and where it rests upon the earth.” Leo extended his hand, palm upward, mirroring Marva’s earlier gesture. He imagined the Force as a current of water, flowing through him, around him, and lifting the rock gently. The group watched with bated breath as, after a moment, the rock quivered and then, almost imperceptibly at first, began to rise. “Yes, that’s it!” Marva encouraged. “Let the Force flow.” The rock lifted higher, and Leo’s concentration deepened. He could sense the curiosity and awe of his friends, but he remained focused, feeling a connection with the rock that was almost tangible. As Leo opened his eyes, the rock hovered before him, a testament to the power of the Force and his own potential. A smile spread across his face, and the group erupted into applause. Mikey whooped with excitement, and even Karai’s eyes held a spark of newfound respect and wonder. Marva nodded approvingly. “Well done, Leonardo. You have taken your first step into a larger world.” "Dude, how did you do that?" Mikey asked Leo with surprise. "I don't know. I was mediating and then..." He stuttered. "Who wants to go next?" Marva asked. Mikey’s hand shot up immediately, his face alight with eagerness. “I’ll give it a shot!” he exclaimed, stepping forward with a grin. He plopped down in front of the rock, mimicking Leo’s meditative pose, though with less grace and more wiggles. “Remember, Michelangelo,” Marva said, her tone a mix of amusement and sternness, “the Force requires focus and calm.” Mikey nodded, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. The group watched, a collective breath held as they waited to see if the jovial turtle could tap into the Force as Leo had. Seconds ticked by, and the rock remained still. Mikey’s brow furrowed in concentration, his tongue peeking out in a classic display of effort. Then, with a tiny shudder, the rock lifted a mere inch off the ground before plopping back down. Mikey’s eyes snapped open, and he pumped his fist. “Did you see that? It moved!” The group clapped, and even Karai offered a small nod of approval. “Not bad, Mikey,” she conceded. One by one, the rest of the group took their turns. Some found a natural affinity for the Force, while others struggled to find the right balance of concentration and relaxation. Each attempt, successful or not, was met with encouragement and constructive feedback from Marva. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, the group opened their eyes. They looked at each other, a new understanding passing between them. “You see,” Marva said, her voice soft but clear. “The Force is not just about moving objects or fighting with lightsabers. It is about understanding and harmony. It is the energy that connects all living things, and it is within you all.” The group nodded, a sense of awe and excitement for the future filling them. They had taken their first step into a larger universe, and though the path ahead was uncertain, they knew they would face it together, as one with the Force. "So, what happens now?" April asked. Marva Zane turned to the group, her eyes reflecting the starlight that began to pepper the darkening sky. “Now,” she began, her voice carrying the weight of wisdom and experience, “you continue to train, to learn, and to grow. The path of the Jedi is one of constant discovery—about the Force, about the galaxy, and most importantly, about yourselves.” "Our father has taught us a lot in our martial art, but this is a whole different thing." Leo said Leo’s words hung in the air, a testament to the new and unfamiliar world they had all stepped into. Marva Zane nodded, her expression understanding. “Indeed, Leonardo,” she replied. “The martial arts you have learned from your father are a form of discipline and strength. They are the foundation upon which you can build. But the Force,” she paused, gesturing to the world around them, “is about connection and flow. It’s not just a skill to be mastered; it’s an understanding to be gained.” She walked over to Leo, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Your father has taught you well, and those lessons will serve you here. The discipline, the focus, the respect for life—these are all part of the Jedi way. You are not starting from the beginning; you are continuing on a path that has prepared you for this moment.” Raph was standing by and listening, but we were not into Marva's words. "Is he seriously falling for that "Force" nonsense?" He rudely thought. "You all have fought in a different way, but it's time you all move to another way. You all will be Jedi soon, I promise." And so, under the watchful gaze of the Wookies and the guidance of Marva Zane, the Rainbooms, the turtles, and their allies settled into their new routine on Kashyyyk, each day bringing them closer to the Force and to each other. The adventure was far from over; in fact, it had only just begun. Author's Note Happy May the 4th be with you Day! Trivia: .Marva Zane is from the Kinect Xbox 360 game "Kinect Star Wars" .The Turtles, Rainbooms, and Allies training was similar training "Kinect Star Wars"
A New Adventure AwakensIn a city far far away, there were a group of ninjas were fighting an army of droids called the Krang. Four were turtles, five were human allies, seven were teenage girls who had magical abilities, but ninja skills like them. "Hurry up, Guys! We gotta get that device back or the Krang will use it to travel to every country in the world!" Donnie demanded. "Don't worry, Donnie. We got the droid right in our trap." Leo said. A Krang droid was holding the device they were looking for. He was ready to open up a portal. "We must open the portal to the place to be the place of the new empire." One of the Krang said. "Hey, that device belongs to me!" Donnie charged at the two droids. But then was blocked by two other droids. Mikey jumped in and knocked down with his nunchuck fury. "Thanks, Mikey." "No Prob, bro." Finally, the ninja team surrounded them just in time. "All right Krang, handle over the device and everything will be mellow." Leo commanded. "Always the same stupid quotes." Raph sighed. "We are to eliminate your perfect countries into an earth of mutation proportion." Krang said. As more Krang droids surrounded them. "Great, what now?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Plan B." Twilight quietly used her magic to lift up the droids, as they fired, Twilight and Rarity used their magic as a double shield. "Now What?" Applejack asked. "We wait." Leo ordered. While they were still firing, a giant crocodile named Leatherhead and a giant dark green turtle with a mace lunged in for a massive attack. "Now!" Leo shouted. Twilight and Rarity vanished their shields and they all jumped out for the finish. Leo and Donnie took down the two droids that had the portal device. The device went flying to the air. "Dudes, the portal thingie!" Mikey shouted. "I got it!" Pinkie Pie reached out for it and caught it. "Ha, I caught it. I caught it, I caught it, I caught it. I caught it!" Just then, Slashes battle made the ground shake and made Pinkie drop the portal device and broke on the ground. Then it began to electrocute and malfunction. The team were scared that might explode. "It's gonna explode!" Donnie screamed. Then a big flash formed the background. Then as they opened their eyes, they found themselves in some sort of deserted place full of dust and ashes. "Where in tarnation are we?" Applejack wondered. "I don't know, but this doesn't look one of those old arc warehouses in new york." April said. "And theirs so much dirt and dust everywhere." Rarity coughed. "Out of all the dimensions we've been to, like Gotham, Moo Mesa, and the other New York. And now this?" Raph moaned. "Now Raph, we don't know if this is another dimension." Leo said. "Plus, everytime we travel one we end up making new friends and helping them beat down bad guys." Casey said. "Well maybe this one will be different." Karai replied. They all looked around the hall, they saw that looked like sci fi texts and space symbols. "My guess is this use to be some sort of temple that as been deserted for centuries." April said. "I mean look at all these symbols." "But what do they mean?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "Don't know, but it does look like some sort of space history." Donnie replied. Mikey was observing as well, then he sees a blue crystal glowing. "Wooow! Dudes check this out." "What is it, Mikey?" Leo asked. "It's a shiny glowing crystal." "Ooooh, it looks gorgeous." Rarity beamed. "I don't know, guys. What if it's been used for evil?" April felt worried with the memory of Zan-Noran. "Calm down, April. That was in the past, what could go wrong?" Mikey picked up the crystal. "See? Nothing bad happened." The team sighed in relief. "So, I see you've found the kyber crystal." "Who said that?" Leo pulled out his sword. "You've all lead me to the treasure I have hoped for." They all turned to see a man in a brown clothes and white hair and beard. "Who are you? "No need to be so anxious my friends. I am Count Dooku, I have come to take back what is rightfully ours." He said. Mikey looked at the crystal in hand. "You mean this?" He asked. "Yes. So now you may hand it over." Mikey was about it hand it over until Leo stopped him. "Wait! What are you planning to do with it?" asked. "If you must know, I will bleed it and use it for another sith and he will be my new apprentice." Count Dooku answered. "If your planning to use that crystal for evil then we're not giving it to you." April shouted as she pulled out her war fan. Count Dooku pulled out a handle and activated it. The tip turned on releasing a red glowing blade. "If I may ask you again, hand it over." "Your gonna have to go through us first!" Leo charged at him. Leo swung his katana at him, Dooku used his laser sword for block defense. Leo looked that the blades of his swords were easily sliced by his weapon. "Weakling, your metal weapon is no match for my lightsaber." "Maybe mine will." Raph charged at him and leaped towards him. He used a great power with his hand that pushed Raph right into a wall. "An order to beat me you must have the force. Unfortunately, I don't sense any force within you all. So let's make it official." He grinned. He use his hand again, this time it released a lighting power the shocked Leo. "LEO!" Twilight cried. She blocked the lighting with her magic. "Get him, girls!" Pinkie grabbed little rocks and threw it at Dooku as they lit up. But he swung them away with his lightsaber. Rarity threw her multiple diamond magic at him, but he did the same thing. "Hey, magic guy behind you." Count Dooku swung his lightsaber at whatever was behind him. But no one was there. "Over here." A finger poked his shoulder. He swung it again. "That's right. I'm right here." He turned to see Rainbow Dash. Before she could speed off, Dooku use his power to hold her still. "I'm giving you all one last chance, hand the kyber crystal over to me. Or else die." He demanded. "Never. Even if we have to die because of it." Leo said. "You've had your chance." As he was about to finish Rainbow Dash... "Count Dooku!" He turned to see it was none other than his nemesis...Obi Wan Kenobi. "Kenobi. I'm surprised." "In the name of the galactic republic, I order you to stand down and surrender to this facility." Obi Wan ordered. "I shall not tolerate to the orders of a jedi." "Then you have met your match. And for your information, that kyber crystal will not be under your hands." "Or will it?" Count Dooku lets go of Rainbow Dash and prepares his duel with Obi Wan. Obi Wan activated his lightsaber, this time his blade was blue. The two enemies charged and clashed both lightsabers. "Go, get the crystal out of here while I hold him off for you." He shouted to the Ninjas. "Go!" They ran to the exit, but Dooku use his power to crumble stones to block the exit. But Kenobi use his same power to lift up the stones to keep it from blocking the exit. "Go! Now!" The team ran to the exit. Obi Wan called on his comlink. "Anakin, I found the kyber crystal. It was found by a bunch youngsters before me, they were confronted by Dooku, but I'm holding him off for them. They're on there way to the exit, take them to safety while you can." Meanwhile, the ninjas were heading to the exit. "This way, we should be out on time." Leo said. On their way, they ran into two space warriors who happened to be Obi Wan's friends who he ordered them to bring to safety. "Whoa, slow down." He ordered. "Who are you guys." Sunset asked. "I'm Anakin Skywalker and this is My apprentice, Ahsoka Tano." He answered. "We heard that you had the crystal. Is it safe?" Ahsoka asked. "Uh, yeah. What do you want with it?" "We'll explain that later, just come with us." "How do we know your not planning to do something evil with it?" April groaned. "Just trust." Anakin said. They knew they had no choice. They followed them outside the temple. They were all shocked to see that what it was...a war! There were armies droids and troopers blasting and jedi's fighting along with them. "Whoa!" "Dude, this is awesome." "This is war!" "Follow Me." They all ran to the safe areas during the battles. "Rex, fall back and recruit the men back into the gunship." Anakin called on his comlink. "Roger that, General." Captain Rex called. "All right, boys. General Skywalker wants us to fall back. Lets' move, move, move!" The clone troopers hold their weapons and retreated to their ships. The droids were confused. "Why are they falling back?" "No clue." "General, they're falling back." "Keep it that way." Said a grunting general on his comlink. "The republic knows not what awaits." All the clones return to their ships, Anakin, Ahsoka and the Ninja team made to one of them. "Wait, what about Obi Wan?" Ashoka reminded Anakin. "Obi Wan, get out of the temple. We're about to leave." "Copy that, Anakin." Obi Wan decided to end his duel with Count Dooku. "Guess we'll have to wait until next time to corporate on your mischiefs on that crystal." He said as ran off. "We'll see, Obi Wan. We'll see." Count Dooku said. Obi Wan made it outside the temple and to the ship where Anakin, Ahsoka, and the ninjas were in. Anakin helped Obi Wan onto the ship. They flew off and made it off the planet. "I'm surprised, you've actually found little ones with the crystal." Anakin said. "Hey, we're not kids." Rainbow Dash grunted. "And will somebody please explain to us what's going on?" Donnie said. "We'll explain on our way to Courasant." Obi Wan replied. "Huh?" Meanwhile on Lothal, a part cyborg, part alien in a cape walked through where the battle was. He underneath his mask he grinned at Count Dooku's plan that was explained to him. "Go ahead and run, Jedi. Because as long we have official well beings you will never be able agitate the missions of our new apprentice's."
The Jedi TempleThe republic gunships went all the way from Lothal to Coruscant. It flew through a huge city with floating transportations and lead straight to a huge temple. "So, where exactly are you taking us?" Mikey asked "To the Jedi temple." Ashoka answered. "It's where the Jedi Knights train and learn the ways of the force." Anakin added in. "And it's a home to them." Obi Wan said. The Turtles and Rainbooms were confused. They didn't know what they were talking about. "Part me for asking, but...what's a Jedi Knight?" Sunset Shimmer asked. The three Jedi were shocked. Who in this world has never heard of the Jedi. "You mean to tell me you've never heard of the Jedi?" "No, we're not from this world. We're from a city called New York." Leo said. "Not a city that I know of." Obi Wan commented. "Look, we just need observe and learn about your sci-fi world if you just explain it all to us." Donnie ordered. "We'll be most welcome to explain all of it to you all." Anakin added in. At last, they arrived at the huge temple and landed on the platform. "Younglings, welcome to the Jedi Temple." Obi Wan announced as the ship's doors opened. The ninja team were shocked to view of a huge temple that was five times bigger than the a mall. Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ashoka lead them inside the temple, through the hallway stood statues, armored temple guards with lightsaber staffs with yellow blades, and younglings, padwans, and jedi walking around the hallway. "Dude, this place is something like Crognard would explore." Mikey beamed. "Temples are extreme." Pinkie said. Finally, they reached the Jedi council room. To the ninjas suprised, most some of them were human, but most of them were aliens. And the most one that was sitting in the middle of the council was a green creature with long ears and tan and brown robes layered. The ninja team felt like they were in some type of video game, except they weren't. "Master Yoda, the kyber crystal is good use now. We have it in our hands." Obi Wan told the green creature. "In proper hands as you say." Yoda said. "And to new abilities the crystal must." "Unfortunately, we weren't the ones who found it. These young ones did." They introduced them to the jedi masters and they were nervous to talk to people from outer space. "Oh have they? Come step forword." A black bald man named Mace Windu called. The stepped into the center corner of the room. "Show us the crystal." Leo showed the crystal in his hand. "Can you at least tell us what this is for?" He asked. "The kyber crystal is a power source of a lightsabers blade." Mace Windu answered. "Count Dooku was meant to find it and use it bleed for the sith's lightsabers." "Wait, this whole war we saw out there was just for a crystal." Twilight asked. "No, a war with the Galactic Republic this is." Yoda answered. "And it is said that you fought Dooku without knowing the force?" Mace Windu said. "Hey, we're ninjas. We've been trained by our own master and he taught us the ways of ninjitsu." Raph said. "And what is the force?" Sunset asked. "Strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement, or course." Donnie suggested. "The Force is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together." Windu explained. "Harnessing the power of the Force gives the Jedi, the Sith, and others sensitive to this spiritual energy extraordinary abilities, such as levitating objects, tricking minds, and seeing things before they happen. While the Force can grant users powerful abilities, it also directs their actions. And it has a will of its own, which both scholars and mystics have spent millennia seeking to understand." "No wonder we were no match for that Dooku guy your talking about." Rainbow Dash said. "You cannot fight in your own style, the sith are more powerful than you think." Another jedi master named Plo Koon told them. "If you even care about being a jedi you must learn the ways of the force." A female jedi master named Shaak Ti said. "So what? We're just gonna leave ninjitsu behind and learn space hero ways?" Raph said, annoyed. "In case you didn't notice, we are talking to aliens." Rarity mumbled. "But usually we train much younger children to the ways of the jedi, and you are much to old." Mace Windu said. "However, most personalities you have that I sense." Yoda added. First, he pointed to the turtles. "You, fearless, hardworking, honorable and respectful." He pointed to Leonardo then Donatello. "Calm, sensible, quiet, friendly, and gentle, you are." Then Michelangelo. "Fun-loving, carefree, go lucky, always ready to fight." Then he pointed to Raphael. "But short-tempered, aggressive, sullen, maddened, sarcastic, and rebellious, you are." "So?" "Anger you have that I sense. Anger is the path of the dark side." "The dark side." "The side of the sith it is. Joined it, many jedi in the past have." Those words worried Raph, sure he has a temper. But will he able to control it the way Splinter always taught him? Then he pointed to the Rainbooms. "But the seven of the you girls...Loyal, Kind, Honest, Generous, Empathy, Laughter, and Harmony you all are." The girls smiled and beamed. "Hey, what about us?" Casey asked. "Stubborn, quick-witted, fearless, and quick each of you are." He answered. "It's been settled then, Padwan Ashoka, take these younglings to library to teach them the ways of the jedi." Windu ordered. "Sure thing, Master Windu." Ashoka led the ninja team to the library. "A new disturbance I sense." Yoda sighed. Ashoka led the ninja team into a library with shelves with books that look like glass lights. "In Jedi Archives, we learn the knowledge of Coruscant and the jedi ways." Ashoka said. "And keep holocrons." "What's a holocron?" Applejack asked. "A holocron is a crystallized holographic cube where information is storage." She went to one of the shelves and pulled out a holocron and it released the information they needed to know about the jedi. "The Jedi are powerful guardians of order and justice." Ashoka explained. "Who, through intuition, rigorous training, and intensive self-discipline, are able to wield a supernatural power known as the Force, thus achieving, for example, the ability to move objects with the mind, perform incredible feats of strength, and connect to certain people's thoughts." She explained the days of the old republic and all wars that the jedi have been through. "Wow, this sound like ancient history from space." Donnie sounded amazed. "Yep, the jedi have always had a legacy." Ashoka said. "But what this sith you talk about?" Raph reminded her. "The Sith, also referred to as the Sith Order, was an ancient religious order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side of the Force. Driven by their emotions, including hate, anger, and greed, the Sith were deceptive and obsessed with gaining power no matter the cost." "So they're evil jedi?" Karai asked. "You can say that. But there are other types of jedi out there. The Dark Jedi were Force-sensitives who were devoted to the dark side of the Force but were not Sith nor members of the Inquisitorius. The Grey Jedi was used by Jedi and Sith to describe Force-users who walked the line between the light and dark sides of the Force without surrendering to the dark side, and second, it described Jedi who distanced themselves from the Jedi High Council and operated outside the structures of the Jedi Code." Obi Wan returned for the kyber crystal. "Learning the ways, are we?" "Hey, I think I have something that you might need." Leo said as he pulled out the crystal and handed it to Obi Wan. But he decided... "Actually, I think this crystal goes to you." He said. "What?" "We were waiting for a Jedi member to arrive, but I figured since a new learner I figured you might save it until after your training is complete." "What training?" Leo wondered. "We had a talk with the council and we've decided we are taking you all to Kashyyyk to learn the ways of the force. The whole team was shocked to hear this kind of news. They were about to learn to become not only ninjas...but also jedi!
Jedi TrainingOn a ship, the turtles, the Rainbooms, and the rest of their allies were on their way to a planet called, Kashyyyk. Mikey and Pinkie were beamed at the sight of a bright blue portal at the window. "Wow! Dudes, they’re like giant walking carpets!" Mikey beamed. "This is really cool. They’re so fluffy! I just want to hug them all!” Pinkie squealed. "It's called lightspeed." Ashoka explained. "It takes us farther to any planet that's far away." "So, what's this planet we're heading too?" Raph asked. "Kashyyyk." Anakin answered. "Huh?" "It's a planet where the Wookies live." "What's a Wookie?" The jedi's sighed "They're towering and noble creatures." Ashoka told them. "You'll understand once you've seen them." Finally, the lightspeed portal vanished. At last, they arrived at a big planet that looks like earth (except it wasn't). "We're approaching Kashyyyk now." Obi Wan said. The ship glided through the atmosphere, the lush green canopies of Kashyyyk’s forests coming into view. The Rainbooms pressed their faces against the windows, their expressions a mix of curiosity and wonder. “Look at those trees!” Fluttershy gasped, her voice filled with awe at the sight of the towering Wroshyr trees. As they landed, the ramp lowered, and the group was greeted by a chorus of deep, harmonious growls and roars. "What are those things?" April sounded scared. "Those are the Wookies I told you about." Ahsoka said. “They might look intimidating, but Wookies are known for their loyalty and bravery. They’re gentle giants at heart." As the door finally opened, the group stepped off the ship, the warm Kashyyyk air greeted them, carrying the rich scents of the forest. Just then, a female Jedi master approaches them. Her hair was tied like a hammer, and she is wearing a brown leather vest. "Welcome to Kashyyyk, young ones." She said. "My name is Mavra Zane, and I'm going to be participating in training you all in the Jedi ways." One particularly large Wookie stepped forward, his fur a shade darker than the rest, and let out a series of thoughtful growls. “This is Chief Tarfful,” Mavra Zane introduced. “He’s one of the most respected leaders among the Wookies.” Mikey, ever the enthusiastic one, attempted to mimic the Wookie’s growls, causing a ripple of laughter among the group and a low chuckle from Tarfful himself. Pinkie Pie bounced excitedly, clapping her hands at the interaction. “Your courage to embrace this new world is commendable,” Mavra continued. “Here, you will learn not just to wield a lightsaber, but also to understand the flow of the Force. It connects us to every living thing, and you’ll find that the Wookies are deeply attuned to it.” "Uh, I'm sorry, lady, but we don't need training!" Raph replied rudely, only to have Leo nogg him. "We really appreciate you helping us learn your ways." Leo said. "But, I don't know if we'll be able to do what you do in this world." "No need to worry." Mavra Zane said. "I believe the force will come to you and you will be able understand the Jedi ways." The group didn't understand about this force religion. "Is this "Force" thing like some sort of guidance or something?" Twilight asked. Mavra nodded. "Partly. " "Our master, also father, has taught us much more." Donnie replied. But this....is something different." Mavra Zane smiled, her eyes reflecting the golden light. “Remember, the Force is as much about knowing oneself as it is about knowing the galaxy. Trust in it, and it will guide you.” The group nodded. "Now, let us begin." The group’s training began with simple exercises, focusing on balance and awareness. "Your training begins with a difficult path. First, you will start by following Chief Tarfful." Mavra pointed to him. "Excuse me, you mean Bigfoot right there." Casey mocked. April nogged him. "Wookies here trained in these for Millennia." Mavra explained. "You must pay attention, observe how the Wookies move through the challenges. Your strength comes from the force. You will control it...if you are to complete your training." Leo was chosen to go first. He stepped forward a training dummy. "These training dummies can be pretty dispatched with a simple kick." Leo used a mighty kick which broke the dummy into pieces. The gang was shocked at that very moment. Leo continued to another dummy one by one. Next obstacle course was going to be kind of dangerous. "For the next task, you must use your senses to avoid these obstacles quickly." Marva said. Leo could see a bunch of barrel obstacles falling back and forth. He wasn't afraid because he took Splinter's training seriously. So, he closed his eyes and meditated on the stand. As an obstacle was approaching him...he ducked. As he stepped forward the more, he dodged every approach. The team was shocked at the whole show. At last, he reached the end. Marva was impressed to see someone with so much potential and confidence. "Now, who wants to go next?" She asked. The all looked at each other. "I'll go next." Raph replied. As he approached a dummy, he began beating at it and then smashed to the ground and started pounding it like his other dummy from the lair. "Enough!" Marva scolded. "That is not how a Jedi does things." Donnie stepped in and showed him how it's done. Donnie approached the dummy. With a calm demeanor, Donnie focused his energy, channeling it through his movements. Instead of brute force, he used precision and fluidity, striking the dummy in key points that caused it to collapse without much effort. The group watched in silence, learning that strength wasn’t just about physical power, but also about control and finesse. After Donnie, it was Mikey’s turn. He approached the task with his usual playful attitude, but there was a concentration in his eyes that wasn’t there before. He moved with a dancer’s grace, dodging and weaving through the obstacles with a smile on his face. His actions were a blend of martial arts and acrobatics, and when he reached the end, he struck a pose, eliciting cheers from his friends. Pinkie Pie was next, and her bubbly personality brought a light-heartedness to the training. She giggled as she hopped from one foot to the other, somehow turning the exercise into a game. Her laughter was infectious, and even Mavra Zane couldn’t help but smile at the display of joy. Fluttershy took her turn with a gentle approach. She seemed to move in harmony with the environment, her steps barely making a sound. Her connection with nature was evident, and it was as if the Force itself was guiding her through the obstacles. Twilight Sparkle, always the studious one, analyzed each challenge before attempting it. She used her intellect to predict the patterns of the obstacles, moving through them with calculated steps. Her methodical approach proved effective, and she completed the course with a nod of satisfaction. April, though initially hesitant, found her rhythm as she progressed. Her movements were cautious but determined, and with each successful step, her confidence grew. Casey, despite his earlier mockery, took the challenge seriously when his turn came. He was agile and quick, his street-smarts coming into play as he navigated the course with surprising skill. "You have all done well, but your path does not end here." Marva said. Later, they were on a grassy area. "A Jedi's ally is the Force, and it is very powerful. Feel it flow through you, but there must be control." "Your teaching us the impossible." Karai moaned. Marva Zane turned to Karai with a patient smile. “What seems impossible now is only the limit of your current understanding,” she said gently. “With time and practice, what is impossible becomes possible.” The group gathered in the grassy clearing, the air alive with the sounds of Kashyyyk’s wildlife. Marva raised her hands, and the group followed suit, closing their eyes to feel the world around them. "Allow me to demonstrate." She ordered. She closed her eyes and raised out her hand. For five seconds there was silence and then...a rock began to lift up. And then it dropped to the ground. "Did you just use telekinesis?" Mikey asked. "It's not that hard." Marva answered. Then he pointed to Leo. "You" I have seen you with a lot of courage and confidence. Why don't you go first?" Leo stepped right in, he sat down, crossed his legs together, closed his eyes, and mediated. Leo’s breathing slowed as he entered a state of deep meditation. The sounds of the forest faded into a harmonious silence, and he could feel the gentle pulse of the Force around him. With his mind’s eye, he visualized the rock that Marva had lifted. “Focus on the rock, Leonardo,” Marva’s voice echoed in his calm mind. “Feel its weight, its texture, and where it rests upon the earth.” Leo extended his hand, palm upward, mirroring Marva’s earlier gesture. He imagined the Force as a current of water, flowing through him, around him, and lifting the rock gently. The group watched with bated breath as, after a moment, the rock quivered and then, almost imperceptibly at first, began to rise. “Yes, that’s it!” Marva encouraged. “Let the Force flow.” The rock lifted higher, and Leo’s concentration deepened. He could sense the curiosity and awe of his friends, but he remained focused, feeling a connection with the rock that was almost tangible. As Leo opened his eyes, the rock hovered before him, a testament to the power of the Force and his own potential. A smile spread across his face, and the group erupted into applause. Mikey whooped with excitement, and even Karai’s eyes held a spark of newfound respect and wonder. Marva nodded approvingly. “Well done, Leonardo. You have taken your first step into a larger world.” "Dude, how did you do that?" Mikey asked Leo with surprise. "I don't know. I was mediating and then..." He stuttered. "Who wants to go next?" Marva asked. Mikey’s hand shot up immediately, his face alight with eagerness. “I’ll give it a shot!” he exclaimed, stepping forward with a grin. He plopped down in front of the rock, mimicking Leo’s meditative pose, though with less grace and more wiggles. “Remember, Michelangelo,” Marva said, her tone a mix of amusement and sternness, “the Force requires focus and calm.” Mikey nodded, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. The group watched, a collective breath held as they waited to see if the jovial turtle could tap into the Force as Leo had. Seconds ticked by, and the rock remained still. Mikey’s brow furrowed in concentration, his tongue peeking out in a classic display of effort. Then, with a tiny shudder, the rock lifted a mere inch off the ground before plopping back down. Mikey’s eyes snapped open, and he pumped his fist. “Did you see that? It moved!” The group clapped, and even Karai offered a small nod of approval. “Not bad, Mikey,” she conceded. One by one, the rest of the group took their turns. Some found a natural affinity for the Force, while others struggled to find the right balance of concentration and relaxation. Each attempt, successful or not, was met with encouragement and constructive feedback from Marva. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, the group opened their eyes. They looked at each other, a new understanding passing between them. “You see,” Marva said, her voice soft but clear. “The Force is not just about moving objects or fighting with lightsabers. It is about understanding and harmony. It is the energy that connects all living things, and it is within you all.” The group nodded, a sense of awe and excitement for the future filling them. They had taken their first step into a larger universe, and though the path ahead was uncertain, they knew they would face it together, as one with the Force. "So, what happens now?" April asked. Marva Zane turned to the group, her eyes reflecting the starlight that began to pepper the darkening sky. “Now,” she began, her voice carrying the weight of wisdom and experience, “you continue to train, to learn, and to grow. The path of the Jedi is one of constant discovery—about the Force, about the galaxy, and most importantly, about yourselves.” "Our father has taught us a lot in our martial art, but this is a whole different thing." Leo said Leo’s words hung in the air, a testament to the new and unfamiliar world they had all stepped into. Marva Zane nodded, her expression understanding. “Indeed, Leonardo,” she replied. “The martial arts you have learned from your father are a form of discipline and strength. They are the foundation upon which you can build. But the Force,” she paused, gesturing to the world around them, “is about connection and flow. It’s not just a skill to be mastered; it’s an understanding to be gained.” She walked over to Leo, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Your father has taught you well, and those lessons will serve you here. The discipline, the focus, the respect for life—these are all part of the Jedi way. You are not starting from the beginning; you are continuing on a path that has prepared you for this moment.” Raph was standing by and listening, but we were not into Marva's words. "Is he seriously falling for that "Force" nonsense?" He rudely thought. "You all have fought in a different way, but it's time you all move to another way. You all will be Jedi soon, I promise." And so, under the watchful gaze of the Wookies and the guidance of Marva Zane, the Rainbooms, the turtles, and their allies settled into their new routine on Kashyyyk, each day bringing them closer to the Force and to each other. The adventure was far from over; in fact, it had only just begun. Author's Note Happy May the 4th be with you Day! Trivia: .Marva Zane is from the Kinect Xbox 360 game "Kinect Star Wars" .The Turtles, Rainbooms, and Allies training was similar training "Kinect Star Wars"
