A Brief Warning

Wanting to see what level of threat he faced, Orono used his new Fold Space power to reach the New Republic era. To his amusement he saw the Skywalker line had been using the very teachings he sought to destroy. Given that the Jedi were in full view of the public, it did not take long to track down the traitors to come. When he arrived he saw them doing battle with Darth Caedus, a fallen son in the Senate Plaza. Using his vast stores of power, he attacked with such speed and power that all but Luke were knocked back. Each of the Skywalkers attempted to kill Orono by sending a lightsaber through his chest, but he only laughed. When they asked why he would not become one with the Force he replied, "I am the Force!" Jaina, Luke's daughter briefly kicked him back and attempted once again to finish him off. However, as she raised her lightsaber, this gave Orono enough time to force his thoughts into her mind and he did the same with Leia. While their minds were strong, they bent to his will as quickly as leaves blown by a fall wind. To Luke's horror they ignored Orono and began attacking him instead. When Luke demanded to know what had happened to his family, Orono replied that they had been "enlightened" and, "shown the true path of the Jedi Order". As Luke lay broken and bleeding at his feet, Orono placed a secret personality that would make every Skywalker save for Luke completely obedient followers. As he began to vanish, he taunted Luke with a warning, "If it only takes me to subdue you, the full strength of my army will overwhelm you in a day." The eventual traitors could only gaze in horror at the doom that soon awaited them...
