This time they didn't act reserved and every Jedi high council member came in. Except for Ragnarok, of course. If Alexander and he fought then they would probably end up destroying the planet even if they just sparred lightly.
Grandmaster Yoda, Master Mace Windu, Master Plo Koon, Master Stass Allie, Master Shaak Ti, Master Kit Fisto, Master Saesee Tiin, Master Coleman Kcaj, Newly made Master Anakin Skywalker, Master Agen Kolar, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Padawan Ahsoka came in front of him with their lightsabers out.
"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.
"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.
