43 March On The Temple

Two days had passed and Jack had eagerly awaited at the landing platform for his knights. Shaak Ti had arrived the day before and they had spent that day in each other's embrace. Jack had a special event planned for her but that would wait until After their meeting with the Jedi.

Jack and Shaak Ti didn't have to wait long on the platform. As stealth Mandalorian transport shuttles quietly slipped on to the platform. The craft powered down and the landing ramp descended. Out of the craft over 300 Mandalorian force users walked out in perfect formation.

All of Jack's knights where dressed in modified Mandalorian armor. The plating was thinner than normal armor but the compound was more advance. The armor was all black with the classic Mandalorian helmet. They looked like sith from the Old Republic it was awe inspiring. Without out a word Jack walked in front with Shaak Ti at his side and they began their march to the jedi temple.

---Jedi Temple Coruscant---

Life as a temple guard was as good as it could get. Under normal circumstances you would have a good day with nothing happening. Today however was not one of these days. They were informed of a group that would be meeting the council today. What they were not told was how large the group was going to be. What stood in front of the temple guard was a group of about 300 in full armor. Lead by one of the largest men they had ever seen. On of the guards quickly went to inform one of the near by jedi Master while a small group went to intercept the group moving to the entrance.

Jack expected a scene like this to occur. If the guards didn't stop them he would question who the jedi had put in charge of protecting them. Before either Jack or the guard could a jedi knight move to block them. Drawing his saber, "Who are you and what is your purpose here!" This was his first mistake as every member of Knights of Libra drew their own sabers as the black blades of the knights hummed like the sound of hundreds of sparrows.

Jack raised his hand, "You have one chance jedi to withdraw you blade and back away. I have an appointment with the council as for who I am. If you can't tell I am Mand'lor leaders of the Knights of Libra. You have showed your weapon to a Mandalorian by all rights I should kill you were you stand." Jack voice was neither loud or threatening, but his presence was completely overwhelming.

Jack looked around and seeing about 300 jedi surrounded his group and more pouring from the temple. He sighed and turned to his knights, "Very well you may injury them but no deaths we did not come here to kill you have 5 mins." With that he walked into the middle of the group with Shaak Ti following close behind.

She knew what was about to happen and almost felt sorry for the foolish jedi that stood in her lover's way...almost. Jack's words had been a trigger as his closest knight force pushed the foolish jedi in the front and that was the start of the one sided beat down. Jack's knight moved like ghost disarming all in their reach with the force. For those strong enough to hold on to their sabers they were meet with a relentless attack from every angle.

The jedi were not prepared for a fight here on their homefront, and the Mandalorian did not fight fair atlest in their sense. Some jedi were attacked two on one, some where hit with the force from behind. The ones that had been lucky enough to fight one on one. They would not last more than a single engagement.

For some reason when ever one of their lightsaber blades meet with the Mandalorians it looked as though the energy in the blade would be drained completely and the saber would short out. 5 minutes had not even passed and yet all jedi who had stood in their way where now on the ground either knocked out or hands behind their head. It was completely dominance.

Jack stopped the timer he had set, "2:15 good but next time make it two minutes." By now news had reached the council that Jack and his order had arrived and Mace Windu and Yoda had reached the entrance. What they saw filled them with a small sense of dread. "Ah Master Yoda Master Windu it is great of you to join us. We were just teaching your jedi the correct way to battle other force users. Though I fear with some of the me unconcious they will not be able to take the lesson to heart." Jack said with a smile.

He knew deep in side he had planted the seed of fear in these jedi and that suited him just fine. If these jedi feared what his Mandalorians could do then it would be less likely they would cause any of them trouble on the battlefields that would come. There was still one more nail in the coffin that he had to plant and that would be up to his lover.

They had talked about what she needed to do if the situation had every reached this point so without any hesitation Shaak Ti walkes up to Master Windu, "Hello Master Windu...I feel like some of the new jedi that have arrived have missed our lessons so how about me and you have a little match to show the young one what it means to be a master."

Windu really did not know how to respond. He was not 100% sure of the situation, and he had a sinking feeling that it was his jedi that caused this conflict. If that was a case he knew unless he fought and won against one of the old members of the council that all of the jedi would have a shadow caused over them.

It would effect everything they would do from this point on, and with the war coming they could not afford to let that happen. Looking to Yoda for guidance. The older jedi could only nod and sigh. "Very well Master Ti a spar will do the young ones well good."

With that Shaak Ti ignited her lightsaber and force jumped at Windu. Her white blade danced as she stuck at him at great speed. Windu being a master in the art of lightsaber dueling took the attack with ease but was surprised at how much force was contained in the attack. Both Master began trading blows, each strike growing progressively faster and faster.

Shaak Ti began enhancing her strikes with the force as lightning began arching off her blade with every strike. Shaak Ti let her emotion drive her as she began to let go and allow her body to attack without thought. Windu went for a strike to over power her however a second before the blades met she deactivated her saber and side stepped his attack.

Then as a counter she force pulled him to close the distance then ignited her saber bring it close to his neck in a single move. The court yard was silent as many could not believe what had just happened. When Shaak Ti was part of the order she was strong but she had never been a match for Master Windu in fact she had been known for being one of the weaker members of the council.

Yet now she had beat one of the strongest fighters in the jedi order. Yoda knew that any chance they had was now over and many of the jedi here would come to fear Jack order of force sensitives. What surprised him more was the fact that he had sensed a bit of dark side engery that came when Shaak Ti was attacking Windu.
