"Hi, my name's Luke." He said. They seemed to be studying him. He smiled again. He'd give them something to study.
"Today, I'm going to be seeing if you're worthy to defeat The Moonfaller. All you have to do is beat me in a duel."
The one named Perseus snorted as if it would be easy.
"Okay, for the ones that don't have lightsabers, I will switch to a sword to duel with them, except for Thor, I already know I can't cut his hammer."
Thor grunted in response.
"So, who's going to go first?" Asked Luke.
Arthur raised his hand. Luke reached for a sword as Arthur stepped forward and said, "Um, I don't think your lightsaber thingy can cut my sword."
"Oh, really?" Asked Luke, "Shall we test it?"
Arthur nodded. Foolish man, Luke thought as he swung his lightsaber down, This is a really nice sword.
When Luke's lightsaber hit the sword, it rebounded and a small explosion knocked Luke backwards.
Luke sat on the ground, stunned for a few moments then shook his head, smiled and got up.
"That has got to be the strongest sword I have ever seen and, unfortunately, felt." Luke rubbed his butt.
Arthur grinned.
"All right now, let's fight!" Luke said.
Arthur and Luke started by circling each other. Arthur reached out with his sword. Luke easily parried. Suddenly, Luke attacked with quick strikes one after the other. Arthur barely blocked all of them. Arthur thrust his sword forward. Luke blocked, but then Arthur used his sword to push Luke's lightsaber up out of his hands. Arthur held his sword against Luke's throat.
"I win." He said, but then Luke held his hand out to his lightsaber and it flew into his hand. He pushed the sword away with the lightsaber and hopped back up. Luke ran at Arthur and they both jumped at the same time. Luke whacked his lightsaber against Arthur's sword and another small explosion knocked them both backwards. Arthur was the first to recover and he once again pushed Luke's lightsaber away.
"I win again." He said.
Luke started laughing.
"Where did you learn to sword fight like that?" Asked Luke.
Arthur shrugged. "At court."
"All right, who's next?" Asked Luke.
Perseus stepped forward, now looking less certain he would beat Luke. Luke grabbed a sword and started circling Perseus, but Perseus went straight to the most demanding part of the fight. He started attacking fast and furiously. He knocked Luke's sword out of his hand and before Luke could use the force on his sword, Perseus broke it.
"I win." Said Perseus.
Luke nodded. "As you men seem fond of saying."
Thor stepped forward.
"Nuh uh Thor, you break too many swords and lightsabers."
Thor grumbled but stepped back. Achilles stepped forward.
"I'm the greatest warrior of my time. It'll be hard to beat me." Achilles said. He smiled, as if he had a secret that only he knew.
Achilles suddenly started attacking. Luke parried and struck back.
"Is that the style of fighting in Greece? It seems very efficient." Luke said.
With that distraction he struck at Achilles again. He forgot he wasn't in a real battle and gave Achilles a lethal blow to the neck. Achilles fell down and Luke stared at him in horror. Somehow, Achilles got up and with Luke staring at him in wonder, Achilles struck at him. Luke held up a sword that wasn't there. He looked frantically on the ground and saw tiny metal shards everywhere. His sword had shattered on Achilles's neck. Luke ducked just in time, but lost his balance. Achilles leveled his sword at Luke.
"I win." He said.
Mau'i stepped forward and Luke grabbed his lightsaber. They started with some basic thrusts at each other, mostly experimental. This'll be easy. Thought Luke. He swung quickly at Mau'i but Mau'i blocked and pushed the lightsaber away. Maybe not as easy as I thought. Luke swung at Mau'i again, but Mau'i had lots of strength on his side and pushed the lightsaber away again easily. Suddenly, Mau'i made a quick thrust towards Luke blocked but realized that it was a feint as Mau'i swung his lightsaber up slicing into Luke's lightsaber handle.
"I uh, beat you." Said Mau'i.
Luke bowed his head in respect.
"Well, you all passed." Said Luke, "Yoda chose wisely, I see."
Yoda raised an eyebrow.
Luke sighed. "As always."
Everyone followed Yoda out of the room with Luke staring on in wonder at how good they all were.
