((you know what? I think I'll aso take the part as Leia))
"Its a dangerous road ahead, Han!" Leia said to the Pilot next to her. "Korriban is an ancient Sith homeowlrd, and theres no telling what could happen..."
"Don't worry, Sweet Heart!" Han smiled, as he gave a kiss on Leia's forehead. "I'm sure this Rueban-boy can take care of himself. I'm not quite sure about Kala... but I'll take care of you!" Han pulled out his trusty-old blaster.
"I think I can take care of myself just fine, captain." Leia smiled back at Han.
((It could happen somewhere in the story. But yeah, that's okay, Exiledfish.))
Kala also glanced at the window. She could feel the dark side surging on this planet. Then, she began to shiver.
"Man, I can't wait to get out of here. This place gives me the creeps! Even when I'm in this Sith graveyard."
Rueben smiled. For some reason, he liked the feel of the cool Korriban air hitting his face... it was probably a hereditary thing.
He stood outside the loading ramp and felt a few surges of Darksided energy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bastila stayed quiet for a minute, trying to think of what to say.
"It... it was once handed down throughout our family... how it got here... I'll never know." Bastila said. "I wonder... I wonder if you can transport through it like I can... an interesting thought... that maybe you should test out."
Bastila used the Force to open the locket, and observed the inside of it.
"It says the Jedi Code on the inside." Bastila said.
The Assassin sensed the Millenium Falcon, which had just landed in the Valley of the Dark Lords. But he had time to worry about Captain Solo and the crew.
He paced around the stone passages of the ruins of the academy, searching for his Contract. He stood in the center chamber where the entrance of the Academy lay.
"I sense you, thief!" The Assassin whispered. "I know you're hear..."
At the view of the Academy's catacombs, a figure walked away from the shadows to face the Assassin. His Contract no doubt. He was a scruffy looking man, with dirt all over his face. He wore a mechanic's suit with a Utility Belt around his waste, which held a small blaster.
"You're too late!" the man said. "The Shielding device malfunctioned and self destructed."
"Excellent. You just saved me the effort of destroying it, as I will now destroy you!"
The Asssasin pulled out his WESTAR blasters had fired rapidly at the thief. His job was done. Now, it was time to face his next victems for his death count.
The blaster on Rueben's hip, brought him no comfort... if anything, it added to his worries. He couldn't fire a blaster... not as well as he could swing a melee weapon, such as a vibro-sword or a lightsaber... but Jaden had insisted that he bring a blaster. He had his double-bladed lightsaber in hand, and slowly began walking towards the Academey back-entrance, when he suddenly dissappeared from everyone else's sight.
Force Camaflouge is very useful... plus, this is my battle alone... I am not defenseless. Rueben thought to himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke stood in his meditation chambers, when the Darkside began beckoning him again, but he resisted... he knew he had to, for his sake, and for Rueben and the Jedi's sake.
There is no Emotion, There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance, There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion, There is Serenity.
There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.
There is no Death, There is the Force. Luke whispered to himself, to try and resist the Darkside.
"There is no Emotion, There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance, There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion, There is Serenity.
There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.
There is no Death, There is the Force.
Wait this doesn't make sense, George Lucas made up Star Wars, but supposedly Star Wars is real?" he paused for a moment then looked at Bastila. "What's your name again?"
"Bastilla Shan."(Sorry!)
"Your in the Knight of the Old Republic Series, which was also made up. Your saying Jedi actually exist somewhere out there?"
"Yes... wait... you say there's a... what about me?" Bastila asked. "What is the Knights of the Old Republic series? I am so confused... enlighten me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There There is no Emotion, There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance, There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion, There is Serenity.
There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.
There is no Death, There is the Force."
Rueben said aloud, to calm himself, but he started hurtling through time and space. He landed next to his grandmother, and turned off his stealth belt... and looked at her.
"Where am I?" He asked curiously.
"Where did Rueban-boy go?" Han wondered. "One minute, I saw him walk to that ancient building, then the next minute he vanishes..."
"Its a Force technique camaflouge. He means to meet the Assassin alone." said Leia.
"We've gotta at least help him!"
*********
The Assassin sensed Rueban in this very building, no doubt longing for revenge. He was exploring the remains of the Academy, learning how the Sith lived back then. Undernote to him, he pressed his back against the wall of the dormitories. The wall moved.
The Assassin leapt away from the wall to see that it revealed a secret entrance to another room. He entered it, vaguely.
He found himself in a strangely shaped, circular chamber. The chamber was so dark, he could hardly notify the outlines of the large and or small objects. Suddenly, the chamber lit. Those outlines of objects he saw around him were... holocrons.
The Holocrons activated, and projected holograms of dark, cloaked figures...
Monica shook her head wildly. "Whoa! Who are you?!" She looked at Rueben. Then at Bastila. Monica couldn't say a word until....
"All right." She sighed. Then said, "I got it all figured out. When the Jedi Code is said... then we fly through this little mirror, I think.... and enter the Star Wars Galaxy. Then if we wanna come back home... we say the Jedi Code." She gasped, and jumped up and down excitedly. "Oh my gosh!! Don't you know what this means, Darrick?! We can enter Star Wars Galaxy, and get away from Earth, when ever we feel like it!"
She went to the window and looked at the city of Chicago. It's beautiful lights glowing in the dark night. "We can get away." Monica decided to call Xander down for all the excitment. "Xander!!"
Monica turned back at Rueben. "Welcome to Earth... uh... what's your name?"
-------------------------------------
Kala glanced around to find Rueben. She was getting worried about him. "Han's right! We gotta at least help him, before he gets hurt!" She ran into the ancient Sith building. "I'm gonna find him!"
"What are a huge stash of holocrons recorded by the great Sith Masters doing here?" The Assassiin asked the numbers of hologram figures. One of them responded.
"Our records recall a last entry from a human male by the name Uthar Wynn, Sith Teacher and Master of this Academy, more than four thousand years ago!"
"During a Jedi Civil War, Master Uthar had a sensational greed of collecting Sith Holocrons. So he stored his collection of information and teachings right here in this secret chamber!" another hooded hologram said.
"Our creations are dated back to the era of the First Sith Ancestory. The year of "The Recorders" departure from the Galaxy!"
"And what are these "Recorders"" The Assassin asked curiously.
"Mecha creations formed from Sith Alchemy. They are artificial sentient beings of a human form, and were designed to be "story tellers" of the history of the entire galaxy. Their capability was so phenominal, that they could even see further into the future!"
"But there was of coarse a malfunction, and their allegiance to the Sith was suddenly broken. Now they remain neutral, and have of coarse departed from the Galaxy into the unknown."
"What was the cause of the Malfunction?" The Assassin asked, eager to learn more.
"Error: There is a corruption in our databanks. Information has been lost for hundreds and thousands of Millenia!"
((^ With this above info, I am saying that George Lucas is one of the Recorders that left the Galaxy. This is how we know of Star Wars... eh? You like? Is this okay with you SkywalkerRules?))
((Yeah, sure, Phantom Knight. That's fine with me. :) ))
"Sweet." Darrick murmured as he looked at Monica amazed. "When do we go?"
*meanwhile in Leon Fields room*
Leon sat on his bed legs crossed listening to Tulak as he talked of many battles and duels he has had and of the power he once wielded.
" There is something you must be shown..." His voice a tone of deceit.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
A flash of light blinds Leon until slowly it clears he is stood ina great valley strange tomb like building on each side.
" What... the..." Leon gasped as he looked around the valley of the Dark Lords he looked over at Tulak now staring over at a specific tomb a statue rising from the ground near it almost identical to him.
" We are on Korriban and this is my home," Tulak said he turned and looked at Leon who found the vase in his hand Tulak stepepd forward taking the Vase and replacing it with a small black bracelet.
" Remember every night I shall visit you," Tulak said the surroundings of Korriban fading away.
((Change of plans. Everyone's coming to the Star Wars galaxy. Xander, Darrick, and Monica with the Jedi.))
Monica looked around and grinned. "Ok. Everybody's here." She opened her locket. "Everyone, touch the locket. Now... let me see if I remember this.
"There is no Emotion, There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance, There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion, There is Serenity.
There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.
There is no Death, There is the Force.
Suddenly, they went through the mirror. Flashes of lights blinded their eyes until... they were in the Star Wars galaxy. "Wow," Monica whispered.
Rueben stood... still in Monica's room... confused. He shook it off, and looked at Bastila. Bastila put her ghostly hand on Rueben's shoulder. They both muttered the Jedi Code, and once again flew back to where they were before they had been transported here.
Rueben stood back in the Academy chambers and walked to find the Assassin.
(No clue where we ended up in the galaxy but Hopefully i doesn't matter. If it does we can change it around a bit.)
The three kids looked around the planet they were now on. It was grassy plains with small plateus everywhere. Darrick noticed a slightly old man walking towards them. "Where are we sir?"
"Why, you are outside of the Khoonda village."
"Khoonda? Which means we are on....Dantooine right?"
"Why, yes you are. Did you not know what planet this was when you came here from space."
"We didn't come from space, we......" he looked at Monica and Xander, "te..le..ported here."
"Ah I see. You some kind of jedi helping you out?"
"No sir."
"Xander, you explain how we got here." turning around to Xander.
"That's quite alright. You don't have to tell me." The man walked past them heading towards the village. "By the way the village is where I'm headed if your looking for it."
"Should we?" Darrick asked the other two.
((My mistake! I meant to say we landed in Korriban. :D ))
Monica shook her head shyly, and glanced at the old man. "No sir. Thanks anyway." She opened her locket once more. "Ok guys. Lets go to another planet. If we can." The three teenagers touched the locket. Monica said the Jedi Code again.
"There is no Emotion, There is Peace.
There is no Ignorance, There is Knowledge.
There is no Passion, There is Serenity.
There is no Chaos, There is Harmony.
There is no Death, There is the Force."
They transported through blue flashes of bright stars. Then, they landed on hard ground from the portal. "Ouch!" Monica yelled, after falling on the ground. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that they were in a strange ancient temple. "Whoa. What is this place?"
She suddenly saw the young man who transported into her room. "Hey, there's that kid again!" Monica whispered to her two friends. "C'mon. Let's following him." She crept behind rocks, so she wouldn't be seen by Rueben.
"What are you doing here?" Rueben asked... feeling the three's presence.
Kala... I uhhh... need some help. Rueben called through the force.
Rueben spun around... "Who are you? However... I'm sure you'd like me to answer your questions first. I am Rueben Shan of the Jedi Order, decendant of the Jedi Masters Bastila Shan and Revan."
Monica looked down and sighed worringly. She came out and looked at Rueben shyly. "Um... Hi! I'm Monica Blair... and these are my friends. Xander Smith and Darrick Jenkins." She looked around confused. "Do you... know where we're at?"
-----------------------
Kala felt Rueben talking to her in the Force. "Hold on, Rueben. I'm coming." she said through the Force. She ran to find him.
"Your on the Sith Planet of Korriban..." Rueben said. "My friend another Jedi, Jedi Knight Kala is coming... she'll take you to Courscant... when I'm finished here."
Rueben took another step towards the Sith Archives... but turned around and shoved the three kids out the door and to the ship.
Finnaly the mist cleared and Leon found himself to be still on Korriban Tulak nowhere to be seen. He looked around spotting the girl Monica from earlier he began to run over.
" Hey how... how did you guys get here," He asked he looked at each of them then at the shiny locket in Monica's hands.
"Do not tell them about me" A sinister voice send in the back of Leon's head.
( Yay we are all here. )
Now that there was no need to be here anymore, the Assassin decided to leave the academy to peace. He waled out, follwed to passageway of the small canyon and entered the Valley of the Dark Lords.
In distance, he could see the Millenium Falcon had landed on the ground. And away from it, he could see a small group of teenagers. The Assassin sensed something... different about them. As if they weren't part of this life at all. And something was growing inside them rather rapidly, as if they were adapting. The Assassin drew his force sight to examine these strange individuals. He sensed... midichlorians rapidly building in their system.
Kala finally found Rueben and ran to him. "You rang?" she asked, panting. "I sensed that you needed help on something so... I came to the rescue!" She looked around. Then asked, "So. Ya need any help?"
----------------------------------------
Monica glanced at Leon. "Hey! Good to see you! I think... the reason why we're here is because of this golden locket." She stared at her locket with suspicion. "Maybe... we were brought here for a reason." She wrapped her locket back around her neck.
Leon nodded at Monica quickly hiding the black bracelet he had been given under his sleeve.
" This looks familiar as if I've seen it in a game before," Leon said looking around the barren valley.
Monica glanced around and shivered. "Yeah. This place is so... creepy looking. Ya know? As if... darkness rules here." She stared at some strange writings on the walls. Then at the statues of weird looking people.
"Hey! I know this place! I saw this on the internet once. It's got something to do with the Sith. It's called... uh... I forgot." Monica rubbed her head. Then it came back to her. "Oh! Rueben said this was Koo...ri...ban! Yeah, Korriban."
Rueben's eyebrows lowered. He could feel something off about Leon... he felt the scars of the Sith.
He slowly walked toward him and whispered in his ear... "Do not try anything... or else you'll regret it."
Rueben walked to Kala and Han, and said, "Watch that new kid... the one I didn't come out with... watch him closely. Something ain't right about him... he's been in the presence of a Sith Lord... that much I know."
Rueben caught something outta the corner of his eye... he turned and actually took a good look at it. It was a Terranetek.
"RUN!" Rueben yelled.
Leon just looked at Ruben as he whispred in his ear. Then as there was a shout oif RUN Leon turned spotting a large creature running straight for them.
Rueben's lightsaber activated. He jumped toward the beast. The beast's hide deflected the lightsaber.
Ehhhh.... that wasn't my hardest blow. Rueben thought to himself.
He jumped toward the beast again, this time he didn't try to hit it with his saber. He lifted his hand and shot lightning out of his hand at the beast. The beast stopped dead in it's tracks. Someone could tell that it was getting shocked.
This thing reminds me of an overgrown Rancor. Rueben thought.
Rueben's eyes began to glow a bright blue, and the Force lightning got stronger. The smell of burning flesh entered the air.
Monica stopped running and looked back at Rueben. "What was that thing?" she asked. Suddenly, another beast came running towards them. Monica ran with the others, until she tripped.
The beast saw Monica trip, and it drooled to taste her. Monica ran against a wall, and panicked. "Help!" The beast looked at her, as he paced back and forth. It began to pounce at her.
But as soon as it did, the golden star locket glew brightly. Then... flashes of yellow lightning bolts struck at the creature. The beast yelped in horror, and as soon as it was over, it ran limply away. Monica breathed hard, and stood terrified.
"Those are Terrenatek... they are lethal... even to the Jedi." Rueben said.
"RUEBEN!" Bastila yelled, at her grandson as she appeared.
"What?" He asked.
"I found out how my locket got to Earth!" Bastila said. "After I died, with Revan on Courscant, at the hands of my younger sister, Darth Melody, she saw the locket around my neck and took it. She hopped on board our ship, the Republic Cruiser, the Sojurn two. She set course for another galaxy and took off and found the tiny planet. She could not feel the Force there, so she figured it would be a good place to hide. She disguised the ship and destroyed it once she was out. She lost the locket, but it I must tell you... it will only work for a Force Sensitive... it may only work for a Shan even... that much I don't know."
Rueben's eyebrows shot up and his eyes got wide.
"So what your saying is that... this Monica girl maybe a VERY distant cousin." Rueben asked.
"It's possible." Bastila said.
Leon ran from the beast jumping over a dip in the ground he found him self jumping higher then ever before landing on a pillar he looked around.
" What the..." He gasped noticing the lightning shooting out from monicas locket then noticing how high he had jumped.
" I must be at least 100ft above the ground... some one help me get down from here!" he shouted to the others.
((Distant cousin. Hmm... we'll see. ;) ))
Monica walked over to Rueben and Bastila. She looked down at her locket, which was wrapped around her neck. She told them, "This locket... shot lightning bolts at that thing. And... it saved my life." She glanced at them, confused.
"How it started was that... I felt something rise inside me. This strange feeling. As if a power unknown in me made the locket shoot lightning bolts at the creature." Monica shook her, not understanding what had happened. Suddenly, she saw Leon on a high pillar. "Hey! How'd ya get up there?"
Rueben rolled his eyes, and jumped up on the pillar. He wrapped one arm around the boy and jumped off, landing on his feet... as graceful as a swan. He sat on the ground... trying to decide the next course of action... he held his head on his fingertips.
"Get back to the ship... I'm talking you to Courscant... Luke and I will find something for you four to do." Rueben said.
Rueben sat down in the center of the ship and began meditating... he could feel the Darkside attempting to sway him here, yet he could feel something.
"So, I guess we scratched the idea of hunting for the Assassin, eh?" said Han, as he walked to the cockpit to fire up thr ship.
***
The Assassin made his way to his own shuttle with built in guns. He of coarse intended on following the Millenium Falcon to its next location.
"Here you are... running in search of the Jedi." A mysterious voice said.
"What do you want?" Rueben asked.
"To stop your pathetic attempt, Jedi." The disembodied voice said again.
Rueben frowned. "Listen you witch... you may have had my grandfather, Revan, fooled... but you will never fool me. One day... someone will end your 'teachings,' the Jedi are not easily fooled."
Kriea appeared before Rueben. "This is not over Jedi... I will return, and when I do... you will be the first Jedi I slay."
"Yeah... that's what Marka Ragnos' said to my master... but I still haven't seen him around... besides... the Exile burned your body and never set up a grave for you." Rueben said. "You will not return... I will not allow it."
Rueben opened his eyes... it had only been a dream... he was sprawled out on the floor asleep... sometime during his meditating he had fallen asleep. He rubbed his eyes and walked to the cockpit.
"We are either just now leaving Korriban or we are close to Courscant." Rueben said... looking at the stars streaking across the dark void.
Kala turned to face Rueben. Then she smiled. "It's gonna be a bumpy ride, Shan," she said, grinning. "Ya sure we're gonna get to Coruscant on time?" Her smile widened.
----------------------------------------
Monica stared at Rueben. Something about him was... familiar. Besides him being a Jedi. She scratched her hair, and cocked her head. This Rueben guy looked like her uncle, except that her uncle had short brown hair, and bright hazel eyes.
She shook her head slowly, smirking, then fell asleep.
((Is her uncle 15 too?))
"Yeah... we'll get there in time. Remember I have no time frame... after all... Luke did put me on the Council at the age of 14." Rueben laughed.
Rueben's smile faded. The ship was being jerked out of hyperspace... by Space Pirates or by the Assassin. One of the two... he just wasn't sure who it was.
((No! Her uncle's like... 42. :D ))
Kala felt Rueben uncomfortable about something. She placed a gentle hand on his hand. "Hey. You ok?" Although she looked concerned for Rueben, her eyes shone brightly.
---------------------------------
As she slept, Monica dreamt that she was on top of a tall tree, looking at a beautiful view of a certain planet she was on. She smiled. Suddenly, she heard a calm voice. "The Force is very strong in you."
Monica looked around. "Who said that?" An old man appeared. "I am Obi-Wan-Kenobi. Jedi Master of Anakin and Luke Skywalker. Apprentice of Qui-Gon-Jin. You have a powerful potential of the Force within you. Remember, you must use it for good... never evil."
Then he said, "You're family... is also strong in the Force too." Monica lowered her eyebrows. "How?" Obi-Wan only smiled. Then replied, "Good bye, young future Jedi." After that, Monica woke up in a startle.
"I'm fine... but we need to be ready for battle." Rueben said. "I'm more worried about that Monica girl... she woke up... and she seemed a little nervous."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke felt a great distrubance. He felt that Rueben, Kala, Han, and Leia were all in trouble.
What's going on? Luke called to Rueben. When he didn't reply... Luke called out to Kala... What's going on?
When he didn't get a response from Rueben he feared the worst. "Attention all Jedi and New Republic Pilots... scramble the ships... get ready to jump into hyperspace... the cooridinates... Korriban." Luke yelled in the loading bays.
The young girl walked over to Rueben and Kala. She asked, nervously, "Um... excuse me? But... can I talk to Rueben right quick? In private?" Kala looked at the young teenager. This one seemed one year younger than Kala.
"Well... I guess it won't hurt much. I'll leave you two alone." She went to the passnger seat. Monica sighed. "I kinda had this dream. I was on top of a tall tree..." After she told her story to Rueben, she asked, "What does Obi-Wan mean that 'my family and I are strong in the Force'? I don't understand."
Monica looked out the view. "I don't understand any of this. I... I wanna go home!" She started to cry.
Leon slept restlessly on the ship Tulak teaching him of how to control this new found power with in him.
" You must learn to use you emotions to fuel your power,"The sith lord said clashing his scarlet lightsaber against Leons.
" This is to easy use the unorthodox in combat," He said quickly pushing Leon then throwing his lightsaber Leon back flipped dodging the whirling blade then sent a small blast of lightning at tUlak who easily blocked it.
" That is enough for tonight," The sith lord said disapearing as Leon finally awoke.
[Back on Earth]
The cab arrived. Miss Stone got up from the bench and gave JJ a hug. "Thank you, honey, for everyhing. Bless you." She smiled warmly to him. Then said, "It's been a long day. I'll see ya later."
Miss Stone got in the cab. She waved to JJ, as the cab departed. "I hope he be ok out there," Miss Stone thought to herself, sadly. JJ was like her own son. In fact... Monica, JJ, and the other kids were like her own grandchildren. She smiled to herself.
Then she wondered about the locket she gave to Monica. "I think she's havin' fun with that locket already," Miss Stone thought. She gave a low, sweet chuckle.
Leon's eyes blinked open the room he had been sleeping in finnaly becoming visible he looked around his muscles ached and he felt like he hadn't slept at all. Maybe until his training was complete he would never sleep. He didn't know. All he did knew was he was probably gonna be put under some 'jedi' and trained for the good. Allready he felt the power of what Tulak had called the 'dark side' building up in side him. Leon scanned the room staring at a plant for but a few seconds he watched it wilt and die just by him glaring at it. walking out of his room he came to the cockpit greeted everyone.
Han flew the Falcon charged enough power for the Hyperspeed. He was about to launch the Ship into hyperspace, when all of a sudden, the ship made an explosion from atop. He looked at the radar. It was a shuttle of somekind. The Assassin!
Monica was startled by the explosion. "W-What was that?!" She looked around and started to get that feeling again. "I feel... something... is trying to... harm us. I don't know how... but I feel it."
Kala used the Force to sense who it was. She closed her eyes and focused. Then, when she figured out who made the explosion on the Falcon, Kala shot her eyes open, glaring. "The Assassin." She turned to Rueben. "You feel him too?"
"How can I not feel him my friend?" Rueben said... jokingly.
Rueben turned to Monica.
"I'll... uh... I'll talk to you after I deal with the Assassin." Rueben said.
Monica looked at Rueben, both confused and scared. The Assassin sounded like a scary name to her. In her life, she never encountered an assassin before. And she got real nervous. "W-Who's the Assassin?"
Kala turned to Monica and answered, "Only the evil bad guy in the world! Huh, Rueben?"
The Assassin targeted his Turbo Laser directly at the Millenium Falcon. He pulled the trigger. Bursts of laser fire shot from the shuttle.
***
Han was all too worried that the bad guy behind him was damaging his ship. "LEIA, ACTIVATE THE DEFLECTOR SHIELD!"
Leia pressed a few buttons on the consol, which of coarse, activated the shield generator.
"I've got a bad feeling about this!" Leia muttered.
"Someone get in the turrets!" Han yelled out.
Leon grabbed hold of something for support he felt sick, weak as if something powerful was trying to pulverize his very soul he looked at Monica who seemed to be affected by the attack on the ship badly as well.
" Who is this assassin?" Leon asked Ruben trying to hold on as tight as he could.
Kala ran to one of the turrents. She held on to the triggers, and shot at The Assassin's ship. "Take that, you no-good bad guy!" Kala yelled. To her, this was like playing a game through those holovids. But only in real life.
She shot one of the parts. "Yes!"
