Nouk Kii looks upon in terror as the evil overlord swings his blade…
| |
| 
Then suddenly, Sifo-Dyas emerges out of the light…
| |
| 
…and severs the murderous villain’s hand, stopping his attack.
| |
| 
Shocked, Lord Mandalore succumbs to Sifo-Dyas’ fatal blow.
| |
| 
The other Mandalorians start blasting…
| |
| 
…but the formidable Jedi is too powerful, killing one shooter and disarming the other.
| |
| 
Victorious, Sifo-Dyas spares the life of the remaining Mandalorian.
| |
| 
He demands “You will remove your helmet and tell me your name.”
| |
| 
The captured pirate acquiesces and says “I am Jango Fett, and I shall have my revenge Jedi, I promise you.”
| |
| 
“Not likely my friend, you’ll be spending the rest of your days in prison.”
| |
| 
Nouk Kii, having come to, tells his Master “I have failed you Master… I… and I killed so many…”
| |
| 
Sifo-Dyas, brimming with pride, tells him “No Nouk, you did not fail, you did very well and I am very proud of you,
| |
| 
You have overcome your fear and become a great Jedi knight.”
| |
| 
So as the situation on the Trade Federation ship is sorted,
| |
| 
Days later on Viceroy Gunray’s home planet of Cato Neimoidia,
| |
| 
The Trade Federation honors its Jedi heros.
| |
| 
Professor Palpatine, having just won the election for senator on Naboo, is in attendance along with other senators and dignitaries.
| |
| 
Viceroy Gunray bestows the honors “You have saved our ship, and saved the Iktotchi’s holy ark.”
| |
| 
As he dons Sifo-Dyas with a medal he continues “The Trade Federation is eternally grateful.”
| |
| 
He then addresses Nouk Kii “And to you, young Jedi, we look forward to working with you for many years to come.”
| |
| 
After the ceremony, in Viceroy Gunray’s palatial estate,
| |
| 
Senator-elect Palpatine meets with the Viceroy and Chairman Ancho.
| |
| 
Gunray says “Congratulations on your election, Senator.”
| |
| 
Palpatine replies “Your financial contributions made it possible Viceroy, I shalln’t forget it. Sadly though the election was so divisive that the Gungans have severed ties with Theed.”
| |
| 
“Yes,” the Viceroy says “and thank you for recommending that I keep custody of the ark.”
| |
| 
Palpatine replies “Of course Viceroy, who better to keep it safe.”
| |
| 
Palpatine then offers a toast “Here’s to a long and mutually beneficial relationship, Viceroy.”
| |
| 
So as Gunray and Palpatine further discuss the future,
| |
| 
On Coruscant,
| |
| 
In the halls of the Jedi temple,
| |
| 
Sifo-Dyas walks with Master Yoda and Master Dooku.
| |
| 
He begins “Master, I wish to nominate my padawan for knighthood.”
| |
| 
Yoda responds “To take the trials, you suggest for him. Ready, is he?”
| |
| 
“Yes Master. He still has much to learn of the living Force but there is little more he can learn from me.”
| |
| 
Master Dooku interjects “I disagree, Sifo-Dyas. This recent show of courage by your apprentice is hardly enough to earn him knighthood.”
| |
| 
“Our ranks have become bloated enough as it is, standards have dropped sharply.”
| |
| 
“But Master Dooku,” Sifo-Dyas protests, “surely Nouk cannot remain a mere padawan after this.”
| |
| 
“Take the trials, Nouk Kii will.” declares Yoda.
| |
| 
“So be it, Master…” Dooku says.
| |
| 
Meanwhile, at the Courthouse of The Republic,
| |
| 
Jango Fett is on trial.
| |
| 
The Mandalorian receives the verdict from the judges.
| |
| 
“Guilty.” … “Guilty.” … “Guilty.”
| |
| 
The chief justice then says “Jango Fett, I hereby sentence you…
| |
| 
…to a lifetime of hard labor at the Alcazart correctional facility on the second moon of Bocta.”
| |
| 
The convicted pirate is then led to the transport ship that will take him to the remote penitentiary.
| |
| 
As ten full moons have passed on Coruscant,
| |
| 
in Professor Aristote’s private offices,
| |
| 
Two Sith lords discuss the future of their research…
| |
| 
Professor Aristote says “The time has come to reveal ourselves to the Jedi. I shall meet with Master Yoda on the morrow and disclose our achievements.”
| |
| 
Palpatine vehemently disagrees “Lord Plagieus, you know the council will simply confiscate the Holocron and shut us down…”
| |
| 
Aristote replies “I shall appeal to Master Yoda’s reason, Lord Sidious. We cannot continue this. There is little more we can learn from the Holocron. It is dangerous to go on.”
| |
| 
Palpatine protests “But we’ve proven that the Jedi are mistaken, about a great many things. We cannot stop, not now, the Jedi will simply dismiss our findings and may even go so far as to arrest us.”
| |
| 
Resolute, Aristote says “No Lord Sidious, either way, it is time. I have decided, and that is all.”
| |
| 
In a grave voice, Palpatine says “Yes Master… You are most wise, Lord Plagieus.”
| |
| 
That night, at Aristote’s residence…
| |
| 
Lord Sidious, acting on his overwhelming desire to prevent the Jedi from imposing their dogma on him, breaches his mentor’s private chambers…
| |
| 
… and ensures that the wise professor will not bring his Sith lordship to an end.
| |
| 
That very night, Nouk Kii is summoned to the Jedi council chamber.
| |
| 
As he walks into the dark room, he is instructed “Step forward, padawan.”
| |
| 
As Nouk kneels, the twelve Jedi Masters of the council ignite their light sabers and Yoda says:
| |
| 
“Nouk Kii, by the right of the council.”
| |
| 
“By the will of the Force.”
| |
| 
“Dub thee, I do, Jedi.”
| |
| 
“Knight, of The Republic.”
| |
| 
Nouk Kii has taken his place amongst the GUARDIANS OF PEACE AND JUSTICE in the galaxy!
