STAR WARS

The Legend of Korra: Infinities (Rewrite)

The Galaxy is in chaos. The jedi have been exterminated and the Galactic Empire is in complete control

DARTH VADER has sensed a force presence on the planet Dantooine, on a Mandalorian village which followed the old ways

Now on his way to kill the last of the Jedi, he cannot imagine the events that he is bringing to unfold, which will bring balance to the force...

Prologue: The Attack and the Escape

"RUN RYDEr!" And run he did. It was his bloodlines gift; Running away. His Jedi Father ran away during order 66 and hide in the Mandalorian village he was born at. His Mother ran away from the clone wars and hid in the same village. It made perfect sense for the two to have a bond that way. Not that Ryder was complaining, he was thankful for his wonderful parents and amazing clan, until now while his father was defending the village with his lightsaber and his robes while his mother was yelling at him to run right before she was blown up by a plasma grenade. While the carnage of his entire family and clan enraged him, Ryder knew if he died, the Jedi order died. So he ran to his father, who he could see limping with a tattered robe and an active lightsaber.

"Buir (Father)!" Ryder cried in the language of the mandalorians.

"Ryder! vaii cuyir gar buir (Ryder! where is your mother)?" His father asked, bleeding from his side.

Ryder couldn't answer, he only looked at his father in sorrow (as if his Meluk (his father) could see his expression, Ryder was wearing his blue mandalorian armor with corresponding helmet). His father stared, and his eyes began to swell, Soon the man started speaking in a sorrow tone, in basic.

"Ryder, we need to get you out of here, its our only chance of the jedi surviving!" Ryder was already considered a Knight by the (now destroyed) Jedi Code, so he could teach others the ways of the force. But he didn't care. All he cared about was when his father said that Ryder was going to escape and not himself.

"Dad, NO! There is no way in HELL that i'm leaving you here to die!" He screamed in basic. Not caring for the ensuring carnage right now, he only focused on his father.

"Son, listen to me" his father began speaking, "I'm going to die, I've lost to much blood to be saved, I'm only alive because of the force. We must get you out of here, you can save the Jedi, you can save the galaxy." He stopped as he smiled to his son. Unfortunately, Ryder didn't share his enthusiasm.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT SAVING THE JEDI! I ALREADY LOST MOM TO THESE IMPERIAL BASTARDS, I WON'T LOSE YOU TOO!" His son screamed at him, tears running down his covered face. The man looked at his son, his own flesh and blood, in sadness.

"well, I guess I have to do this the hard way." he replied quietly, but not to quiet as his son could still hear him over the massive amounts of laser fire going around their faces, one nearly missing Ryder's head.

"WHAT?!" Ryder yelled before he was knocked unconscious by his father with the force. Sighing heavily, he picked his 13 year old and started carrying him to their now ruined home (thankfully near there current location). As he barged the door open, he was greeted by the sight of several stormtroopers searching the place. One turned and started to yell at his comrades, "There's a Mando, Shoot him!" as soon as the troopers opened fire, Meluk quickly and carefully dropped his son on the ground and extinguished his lightsaber. "SNA-HISSSSSSS" the lightsaber went as he started to cut down the troopers in front of him. Meluk used his blade to block some laser bolts as he quickly dismembered the soldiers in a flurry of blue plasma and red laser bolts. Meluk stabbed a trooper in the heart, then used the corpse as a human shield to protect him from a laser blast. He threw the body aside before lunging at the remaining troopers and swiftly decapitating them. As he deactivated his lightsaber, he extended his hand towards a open door, inside the room was a satchel which flew into his open hand. Smiling a quick second, he checked the contents of the bag. Satisfied that the contents of the bag was still in their, he ran over to his unconscious son, grabbed him, and ran over to the kitchen with both boy and bag. He fiddled around with the shelves before finding a knife that didn't look like the others. He grabbed and a secret door opened behind him. Shifting his sons weight over his shoulder, Meluk walked into the door and the darkness below.

It was another ten minutes before he exited the darkness of the corridor and entered light again. Standing in front of him was a ship, larger than the stranded Tie Fighter, but small enough to fit a maximum of 5 people. This ship was his sons getaway ticket. As he entered the hangar the ship was stationed in, he pressed a button near the entrance, the massive gates to the outdoors opened, big enough for the ship to exit through. He entered the open ship into the controls of the cockpit. Carefully, he removed his son from his shoulder and put him in the ship, and strapped him in. It was going to be a rough ride. Smiling, he took of his sons helmet to look at Ryders face one last time. He had a medium sized nose, not to long but small enough. His skin was surrounded by his long brown hair, as it reached to right above his eyes, his stormy cobalt eyes were closed. He was average, could be considered handsome but not to good-looking. Meluk smiled as he looked at his child, his own flesh and blood, for the final time. Soon he sat up and put the satchel in the seat next to Ryder. He remembered the recorded message in the bag, and hoped Ryder would be smart enough to play it.

"Ughhh, wha... Dad? Where are we? WHY AM I TIED TO A CHAIR?!" Ryder suddenly screamed. Meluk sighed internally as he looked at his enraged son.

"Well, you were out long enough for me to get you prepared, so get comfy because this rides going to be a while." Meluk said almost casually, as he had practiced. His son was less than pleased.

"WHAT!" Ryder screamed as he drilled holes into his fathers head as he started to press buttons on the control panel. "Destination set, launch commencing in 3 minutes." The computer stated in a gender-less voice.

"Listen son, you are the last hope for me, for your mother, for all of the galaxy. You are being sent to a new planet, one the empire has never discovered. You are going to be sent there to live with-ought fear. With-ought pain. With-ought the dark side. And one day you shall return home, stronger than ever, to free the galaxy, and if I never see that day which I doubt I will, I take great happiness to know that you'll be safe and free. I know you can do this, because you are a Jedi, because you are a Mandalorian, and because you are my son." He said that last sentence with great sadness in his tone, yet pride and hope for Ryders happiness. Ryder simply looked stunned, but before he could respond, a voice outside the ship suddenly rang out.

"JEDI! FACE ME!" The voice was followed by a mechanical breathing that sent the bravest of Jedi's blood curling in fear. Meluk then stated, "Goodbye Ryder, may the force be with you." He then started walking off the ship

"DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STOP! YOU'LL DIE, THAT'S DARTH VADER! DAD STOP! DAD!" The ship soon started rising as soon as the landing hatch closed when Meluk walked out. With a groan, the ship flew out of the hangar and into the sky. Meluk smiled in acceptance as he turned to face his opponent.

"Where did the Ship GO!" Darth Vader demanded in a deep, robotic voice. It simply screamed power and fear

"Far Away, were you will never find him." Meluk answered in an equal deepness. His fear rising, he prepared himself for his fate.

"We shall see" Vader stated slowly before activating his blood red lightsaber and charging at his opponent.

Ryder slumped back into his seat as the hyperdrive was in effect. It was over, his entire life was gone, destroyed in the blink of an eye. His Clan, killed in a bloodbath. His Mother, blown to bits, His Father most likely disintegrated due to Darth Vader's legendary skill with a lightsaber. He was now the last of the Clan Sulmon, and possibly, last of the Jedi Order.

"Well, Shit." Ryder sighed as he unbuckled from the chair and got up from his seat. He noticed the bag his father had with him before he died, and Ryder was curious. In one half of his mind, He wanted to see whats inside. The other side wanted to stay away from the bad and weep for his lost life. But, he had enough of sadness, and simply didn't care anymore. Slowly, he used the force to pull the bag towards him and opened it up. Its contents were very diverse, some food, water, books, a holodisk, a mandalorian mask, and several mysterious cubes, one blue, one red, one white, and one grey. Immediately he began to think, "What the hell are these? Are they Holocrons? If so, why did Dad have them, well I know he used to be a Jedi but still, What the hell?" His gaze then turned to the holodisk. "Maybe he has answers here." Ryder grabbed the holodisk and pressed play. An holographic image of his father appeared. Ryder looked at the date the message was made, 2 day's before the attack.

"Ryder, if you are listening to this, you know that me and your mother are gone. Possibly the entire clan." The hologram began, "But what you fail to realize is why we sent you away. You are important, you are special. You carry the blood of many notable figures in the history of the galaxy, From my side and your mothers." Soon, the holograms voice almost seemed nostalgic, as if it was remembering something important. "A long time ago, you asked me what my last name was, I believe you were 6 years old at the time, I remember replying that you'll learn one day. If I am correct, that day is here. Ryder, My name is Meluk Shan, Descendant if Satele Shan, who you know was descended from the greatest Jedi Knight to ever live, Revan." Ryder was simply shocked, He was descended from Revan himself, The Prodigal Knight. The boyish part of Ryder's subconscious was squelling in delight. "Ryder, you are of Revan's Blood, which makes you extremely strong, stronger than you could ever realize. This is why you must be sent away." Ryder then looked at the mask that was in the bag, "Oh shit, If i'm Revan's descendant than the mask must be..." "I assume you think the mask I sent with you is Revans, and you are correct. It is, I gave it to you so you will use it, its high time the mask saw action once again. Ryder..." The hologram looked down at nothing, "I'm sending you to an unknown planet, It was in the Jedi's databanks, but the empire never found out about it. There, you will be safe. There, you can train with the teacher I provided you with." "What Teacher?" Ryder's thought, he looked at the holocrons, then the realization came running towards him like a rabid Rancor charging at a Bantha with artheritis. "Yes, One of the Holocrons is Your teacher, I hope you will be pleased with him like I was when he taught me. The others you will find out in time what they contain." Ryder looked at his fathers image in questioning authority. "Ryder, This is goodbye, I will likely see you ever again, I wish I could, but the force calls to me. Please, be safe. I love you, Your mother loves you, your clan loves you. May the force be with you." After he finished, the message ended and Meluk's image dispersed.

Ryder was in shock, all that information he was given. It pretty much destroyed everything he thought about his family's past, he assumed his father came from a low class family on some random rock and became a Jedi. It was absurd that he was the last remaining member of REVAN'S bloodline. Pushing aside these thoughts, he reached for the blue holocron. Touching it, he suddenly became overflown with different voices in his head. Some telling him to become a Jedi, others telling him to embrace the dark side, multiple telling him to run away. Ryder was in deep confusion. Different emotions tearing himself apart. "GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD!" He suddenly screamed and the voices silenced themselves. Calming down, he noticed the Holocron was shifting around until a blue specter appeared on the top of it. It was a man in robes, with the upper robes being covered in armor. He had a hood up and was wearing a mask. This was Revan

"This is the Holocron of Revan, Prodigal Knight of the republic, Once Darth Revan of the Sith empire. I assume you are Ryder, Of my blood?" The holocron stated calmly, as if it was practiced. Ryder was just staring until he remembered his manners and quickly spoke

"Yes. I am Ryder." Revan nodded in response.

"Where is your father, Meluk?" Ryder only looked down in shame and muttered.

"he was slain, by the galactic empire." Revan only nodded in a saddening way.

"I'm sorry, he was a good man. However, before he died Meluk assigned me to teach you about the ways of the Jedi. I aim to honor his request with dignity and will train you. Do you accept?" Ryder looked up in disbelief. A holocron. Of Revan. Going to teach him. Ryder smiled a shit-eating grin.

"Hell yeah."

Revan seemed pleased, "Then your training begins now."


It had been several weeks since Ryder had started his training, and for the most part he enjoyed it. For the most part. A lot of it was like trying to put a Mynock into a small tube which had a baby Rancor in it. Not easy. Revan had been told of Ryder's exceptional skill in Telekinesis and Lightsaber combat. If the Jedi were still around, Ryder would be as skilled in Telekinesis as Yoda was and a peer in Lightsaber combat as well. But, all other aspects of the force were challenging to Ryder, so he trained especially hard on stuff like Mind Tricks, Illusions, Lightning (Revan thought that he should be able to use the force in defense if needed, and what better way than to use one of the most powerful Sith techniques, Ryder liked it though. He thought it was really cool zapping enemies into OBLIVION!), etc. Today, Revan decided to teach him the proper way to meditate and surround himself with the force, both light and dark.

"Concentrate Ryder, feel the force flow through you, let it in. Imbue yourself with the force." Revan was stating in an almost mystifying tone, almost as if he was really there, that said Revan was still a hologram from a Holocron, so that stuff is normal.

"You know, I thought training under the hologram of a long dead bad-ass Jedi/Sith/Warrior/Military commander who happened to be my ancestor would be challenging, But this is... surprisingly easy. " Ryder said in a unexpecting tone.

"It is because of your Ancestry, in life I was exceptionally powerful in the force as you know, so I believe that your ancestry affects your power in stupendous ways." Ryder didn't consider that. "Huh, that's cool." Revan seemed to sigh in disappointment.

"Continue your meditation." "Yes my master." Ryder exclaimed. "Ryder, I am not your master, I am only assigned to teach you the force, I am not to be considered a master in charge of teaching you to become a knight. You already are a knight."

Ryder then pouted in a mocking way, "But you are teaching me, so your my master now, So HAH!" Revan then physically sighed. Before he could scold Ryder any further, the ship came to a sudden lurch which knocked everything over and sent Ryder flying into the side of the ship. Ryder quickly recovered and grabbed everything via the force and put it in his satchel. He then ran to his armor and put it on.

Inside the suit, Ryder allowed himself to get the feel of it again. He didn't wear it for 3 weeks, and he really missed the feel of the lightweight metal moving with his legs as he ran to the controls. This was also the first time he tried on Revan's mask. It was old mandalorian design, fit for war. It was scarred and had a grey and red texture to it. Ryder could sense the power coming from it, Light and Dark. As he sliped it on, he felt strangely comfortable, like he was home. Ignoring the feeling, he pressed on to the computer

"Computer, what the hell is going on?!" Ryder practically screamed, "You have arrived at your destination, power low, energy low, weapons dead, all system functions running on low power, engines dead." The computer stated.

"GAR OSIK BAT NER LALAT!" Ryder yelled. He really should have expected this, after all hyperdrive will eventually drain energy from the other systems to keep going for long periods of time. Looking out the window, he saw a planet he had never seen before. It was full of oceans and large green landmasses, parts of it were yellow, indicating deserts. There were icecaps on the top and bottom of the planet. If he wasn't crash landing right now, Ryder would've considered this to be the most beautiful and amazing place he had ever seen. But he was crashing, and that wasn't good. "Computer, divert all remaining power to front shields and engines, I won't die as a flaming fireball!" Ryder told the computer.

"Diverting power." The computer responded. Soon, the ship was in the atmosphere and going past clouds, and eventually his vision gave way to see a frozen wasteland, and he was heading towards a compound. "Well, Shit." As it crashed down, he hit the floor with a large thud and a random broken spike impaled him. As he screamed in pain, he grabbed his side and used the force to make a shield until everything stopped moving. As he got up, he activated his lightsaber.

Korra, age 13, ran over towards the strange meteor. She was training for her Earth-bending final when the thing fell down and right next to the compound. She at first, didn't know what to do, but she felt something nag at her, to go investigate. So, she went and did so. As she approached the meteor, she saw what it was made out of. It was completely metal, in a weird shape that it originally wasn't as it looked to be all folded up and distorted due to it falling through the sky. Right before she could move forward, Tenzin (who had been visiting) ran behind her and yelled out at her "Korra, are you alright!"

"Yeah Tenzin, I'm fine. I DIDN'T DO IT!" She yelled. She was 13 year's old, she didn't want to be blamed for anything. Before the Airbender master could respond, a Blue light in the form of a blade emerged from the wreckege, and it began to move in a circular motion. As she and Tenzin prepared for a fight, the blue light ended when the shape was complete. Suddenly, the circular shape flew at a fast speed, landing somewhere in the distance. As they turned from watching it, they saw someone rise from the ship. A armored figure risen out of the hole. It was decked in blue plating that seemed to move with grace and speed. The figure also had a strange metal baton at its hip and a leather satchel on its back. But what truly made Korra afraid was its face. It has a mask over his face which gavee the person an aura of mystery and awe. The mask was red and grey, with numerous cuts, it simply screamed fear and power. The figure looked around, saw Korra and Tenzin, and procceded to fall down to the ground in an injured manner. Korra ran immediately to help it. She didn't know why but she did it and she focused on that. She grabbed the figure and spoke with it.

"Uh, Hello? Are you okay? What Happened?" The figure looked at her. Its emotion hidden behind the mask. "vaii cuy' Ni" It stated before slumping over. Korra immediately yelled to the Tenzin. "Help over here!" He left to procure a stretcher, as the man seemed to have multiple injuries in its armor. She looked at the person and took off the mask, She then gasped and backed away from... Him. It was a man alright, it was a teenager the same age as Korra. He was unconscious, and he was bleeding all over his face.


Everything changed after that day. They got the kid healed and when he was fully able to speak, they learned his name, and Ryder learned theirs. As they told each other about their positions, he proceeded to think. On his destiny, and why he had to revive the Jedi. Then he looked at Korra's position, and realized that they were very similar. Both were in a position out of their control, but choose very different ways to follow it. Ryder didn't want to do his duty. However, Korra embraced her position. She was the Avatar, and she loved it. When Tenzin had to go home, he offered to take Ryder with him, but he respectfuly declined. He wanted to stay with Korra, and train for their oncoming responsibilities. So the rest was history.

He never really got along with the White Lotus, for when he learned the truth on how they found Korra, he thought it was inhumane to take her from her family even though she could visit. Even thought he knew the Jedi's recruitment methods, he knew he could change that. Plus the organization thought he was a threat. So there was that.

He met and got along well with Korra's parents. Senna and him bonded over a very powerful love of good tea, and that she secretly thought him and Korra would be perfect for each other. Tonraq and Ryder respected each other as warriors, even though he intimidated Ryder a bit. When he met Katara, he thought she was Korra's grandma. When he found out the truth, he was sick for quite the time. Nevertheless, they were good friends.

Finnaly, him and Korra...how to say this...they were practically Water and Fire. She was brash, fiery and tough. He was cool, clever and calculating. Nevertheless, they also were great friends, so caring for each other, that they had begun an unofficial relationship. Not a real one mind you, they haven't went out on dates and such, but they had kissed before, and it was the most wonderful feeling for both of them. So for the record, they were practically lovers, but they hadn't dated.

Today however, was the day that everything would change. It began with Korra's Firebending final.


So that was the rewrite. Even though it was rather quick of a publish, I wanted to get the first chapter done with. Also, I wanted to get the relationship part between Korra and Ryder down with already because it wouldn't help the new story. So I hope you enjoyed, and I will see you all next time!
