STAR WARS EPISODE VII LEGACY
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
For thirty years the New Republic has seen peace and prosperity under the protection of the new Jedi Order established by Luke Skywalker…Leia Organa Solo has been elected Supreme Chancellor of New Republic in a land slide vote by the Senate, but all is not well…
Eight years ago Grand Master Jedi Luke Skywalker sent his nephew Jacen Solo on a mission to find the First Jedi Temple. During that mission Jacen Solo died a ripple felt in the force throughout the entire order…Now Jedi all over the galaxy have gone missing without a trace…
In response to this the High Council of the Jedi has ordered all Jedi to return to the Jedi Temple on Corsucant until the missing Jedi can be found…Meanwhile Queen Mother Tenel Ka of the Hapes Consortium has asked retired General Captain Han Solo to pick up her daughter Allana Solo fearing for her safety…
HAN
The Millennium Falcon exits hyperspace in the Hapan System near the throne world of the Hapan Empire. The Hapans have always been independent even during the days of the Galactic Empire. It wasn't until then Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and Princess Tenel Ka married that the Hapes Consortium joined the New Republic.
When Jacen Solo died he had achieved the rank of Jedi Master. Tenel Ka had become Queen Mother of the Hapes Consortium three years after his death. As for Captain Han Solo he fell into depression over the death of his son and blamed his friend Luke Skywalker. Eventually Han returned to what he knew best, smuggling.
His copilot and longtime friend Chewbacca growls a question to him. Han is deep in thought and fails to notice the question. It isn't until Chewie roars that he answers. "Oh sorry Chewie…What did you say…"
"It will be good to see your granddaughter again…Yes…" The one hundred and eighty year old Wookie asks in his native language of Shyriiwook.
"Yes my friend it will be nice to see Allana again…"
"And mother?" The question is asked by Han's daughter Jaina Solo. After Jacen died and Han returned to his smuggling ways Jaina left the order to keep her father out of trouble. A twenty-four hour job as the Hutts and many other crime bosses in the Galaxy have bounties on the heads of her father and copilot. Jaina is a powerful and skilled Jedi who keeps a lightsaber on her right hip and a blaster similar to that of her father's on her left.
He sighs, "Why did you have to go there little girl…"
She shoves him forward in his chair with the force, "Who are you calling little girl old man?"
"I am your father and you will always be my little girl…"
Chewie growls something about the force should only be used for knowledge and defense. "Thank you Chewie…"
"The two of you really want to gang up me?" Jaina asks in a threatening tone.
Chewie growls a statement again, "Yeah she is her mother all over again…" Han says aggreeing
The COM starts beeping, "This is Hapan Space command please identify yourself…"
Han presses the button, "This is Captain Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon requesting landing vectors…I was summoned by her majesty Queen Mother Tenel Ka…"
"Captain Solo…" The woman replies over the Com. Hapan society is a female dominated society. "…We have been expecting you. You are cleared to land on Royal platform 3."
"Copy that Hapan Space Command…"
Han pilots the ship through the atmosphere and over the royal city to the Mountain Palace. When the Falcon lands Han, Chewie, and Jaina walk down the ramp. They are greeted by Prince Isolder Tenel Ka's father. Tenel's mother Teneniel Djo died giving birth to her. As for Prince Isolder, he and Han had once been rivals for Princess Leia's hand. Now the two men are good friends as they both had saved the other's life.
They shake hands, "By the force you are getting old…" Prince Isolder says.
"Look who is talking…Is that grey or snow…"
Even after becoming friends the two shared a competitive yet respectful friendship. "Chewie…Lady Solo…"
"As always Prince Isolder please call me Jaina…"
He smiles, "Please follow me…My daughter the Queen Mother is waiting…"
The royal palace is very modern and advanced, with its marble floors and fixtures that are a cross between early Alderanian and Old Style Nubian. They cross a bridge over a river that runs through the palace. Most of which is open to the mountain air. There are shields that prevent snow from building up in the open areas of the palace.
Queen Mother Tenel Ka is in the garden with her daughter showing her the subtle movements of lightsaber combat. "Grandpa!" Allana yells running across the garden. When she is six feet from Han she leaps the rest the distant via the force.
"Wow! That was amazing…"
"Is Grandmother here?"
"No she is on Coruscant…" He replies putting the eight year old down and bowing to Tenel, "Queen Mother as you requested I have come…"
"Thank you…"
Allana grabs Han's hand, "Come on Gramps…I want to see what new upgrades you made to the Falcon…"
Tenel smiles, "It's okay you can take her…"
JAINA
They watch as Han scoops Allana up and place her on his shoulders. Chewie follows them back to the Falcon. Tenel Ka is six feet tall with long golden red hair. Some of it is braided and the rest hangs freely. She wears a green and gold pants suit with a lightsaber on her hip.
Jaina herself favors her mother although Jaina had cut her long hair after her brother's death. "So what news from Jedi Council? Any leads on the disappearances?" Tenel asks.
"I spoke with my Aunt Master Jade…The council hasn't assigned anyone to investigate yet…"
"What of you? Any clues as to how Jacen died?"
Jaina sighs feeling guilty, "I haven't been looking…" She places a hand on her shoulder, "Neither have I given up…It's just that…My father seems bent on reliving his glory days as a smuggler. All I have time for is to watch his back and keep the bounty hunters away…"
"I know what you mean…My father would be out there right now reliving his days as a smuggler and pirate if not for Allana…How is Anakin?"
She smiles, "Well he finally asked Tahiri to marry him…"
"That is good and Ben?"
"A Jedi Knight if you can believe it…"
Jaina pauses, "Something wrong?" Tenel asks.
"I sense a disturbance in the force…"
Tenel closes her eyes and stretches out in the force, "I sense it as well…"
HAPAN SPACE COMMAND CENTER
While the two women talk a ship exits hyperspace and is detected by Hapan Space command. "Unknown ship please identify yourself…"
"This is the Chimera crew fifty souls…While traveling through hyperspace we hit a gravity mine…Our hyperdrive is leaking and life support is at a minimal…We need to land as soon as possible…"
"Chimera please transmit your transponder code…"
"Transmitting…"
"Do you need medical assistance…"
"Yes we have fifteen injured and three in critical condition…"
The commander looks at her subordinates, "Get a medical team to the landing pad…"
LANDING PAD
As the ship lands a medical team runs out to greet the ship. The ramp lowers and they run up into the ship, but no one is on board. "Medical team to command…come in…"
"This is Command go ahead…"
"Ma'am there is no one on board the ship…"
There is quiet over the COM, "Are you sure?"
The lead medical officer looks at the droid, "Scanning…I am picking up a strange energy signal I have never seen before, but no life signs…"
Suddenly the ship explodes and emits an ion wave that engulfs the entire palace disrupting the power and knocking every droid out. Then a portal of blue energy opens and from it emerges Storm Troopers wearing advanced armor. Another portal opens in the palace and hundreds of Storm Troopers rush through the portal firing red bolts at the guards.
HAN AND ALLANA
When the wave hits the Falcon Allana looks at Han, "Grandpa what was that?"
"I don't know kid…"
"Grandpa I'm scared…"
He looks at her, "You don't have to be scared kid…Chewie…" The Wookie runs into the main hold where Allana sits playing Dejarik with Han. "What was that?" He growls a reply, "Ion wave…"
"I want my mommy!" Allana says.
Han gets up and walks around the table, "I know…I need you to be a brave little Jedi…can you do that for me?" She nods. "Good now remember I told you that I had Ion absorbers installed in the Falcon…"
"Yes…"
"So we are safe…I am sure your mother is coming for you right now…"
JAINA AND TENEL
"That was an Ion wave…" Jaina says.
"I know…"
When they reach the door that leads into the palace the door is forced open by Prince Isolder. "Thank the Force the two of you are alright…We are under attack, by Soldiers wearing Storm Trooper armor…"
"How?"
The answer to Tenel's question comes when a portal opens up behind them. Storm Troopers emerge from the portal and start shooting. Both Tenel and Jaina draw their lightsabers and deflect the blaster bolts; the energy blade of Jaina's lightsaber is violet and Tenel's is green. Prince Isolder and the guards with him fire their blaster riffles at the Storm Troopers.
The battle doesn't last long and ends with Jaina throwing her saber, the saber flies across the garden guided by the force and cuts down the remaining troopers. As the lightsaber returns to Jaina's hand a hooded man in black robes emerges from the portal with five masked force users dressed in red armor.
One of the guards with Prince Isolder fires at the hooded man and his followers. "No!" Jaina screams. The bolt is deflected back at the guard by a curved handled lightsaber with a red energy blade. The hooded figure points his hand at the guards and force chokes them to death.
"Who are you?" Tenel Ka demands.
"A Sith Acolyte…You may call me Kylo Ren…These are the Knights of Ren…"
"Two there should be…" Tenel says, "No more no less…"
"You know the rule of Two…Those are the teachings of Darth Bane…His rule of Two died with Darth Sidious…We are many and we fight as one…"
"Ren we have no time for this…" One of the two females says.
"Right get what we came for…"
The five red armored sith leave, two jump over the wall and vanish, one runs up the wall and the last one points his hand and smashes a hole in the wall. "Allana!" Tenel whispers, she looks at Jaina, "Protect my daughter…"
"I can't leave you alone with him…"
"Of the two of us you are the most powerful…Now go!"
As Jaina runs off Prince Isolder draws a sword, "No father…If I do not survive this you must rule the Consortium until Allana comes of age…"
"I will not leave you…"
"Go…I am your Queen and I command it…"
He sheaths his sword, "My daughter first…I love you…Survive this…" Tenel waits until her father has left. She activates her lightsaber and charges Kylo Ren.
HAN
"Scan the palace." Han commands to Chewie on the bridge of the Falcon.
"There are unknown troops all over the palace…There is fighting everywhere…" The Wookie growls.
That is when an energy blade starts cutting through the entrance to the palace. A chunk of the door falls and a woman in red armor and a red mask walks through the new door she made. Two men leap down from the ceiling and join her. Then another man and woman join them. "This is not good…" Han says, "Chewie fire up the Falcon. He growls a reply, "Jaina can take care of herself."
While Chewie powers up the Falcon Han activates the turret mini gun. All five of the red armored Sith block the blaster bolts. The women who arrived first points her hand at the turret gun and blasts it with force lightening. Then one of the men points his hand at the Falcon's cockpit. Both Han and Chewie start choking and gasping for air.
"Get the girl!"
The man armed with a double bladed lightsaber starts walking towards the ship. "Grandpa!" Allana screams trying to help him. Then she looks at the five red armored warriors and gets angry. "Leave Grandpa and Chewie…ALONE!" A powerful force wave erupts from Allana, cracking the floor of the landing pad, smashing crates, and throwing all five Sith to the ground.
Allana feints, "Allana!" Han unbuckles himself, scoops up his granddaughter and places her back in her seat, "Nice work kid…" He says gasping, "Chewie lets get out of here…"
As the ship rises up the five Sith recover and combining their powers they grab the Falcon and hold it down. "We are not moving!" Chewie roars.
"I know! Fire the forward cannon…" The man armed with two lightsabers throws his left saber in between the front of the Falcon destroying the forward cannon.
Just as all seems lost Jaina comes out of the palace running at Force Speed. She decapitates the man who crippled the Falcon's forward cannon. The other Sith release the Falcon and ignite their weapons to fight her. Han had never seen his daughter fight other force wielders. The Falcon hovers and he watches in amazement as Jaina holds her own against four others. After decapitating the first man, Jaina swings at the woman armed with a lightwhip. She blocks with snap of her whip and spins around arcing the whip horizontally. Jaina leans back and swings her saber taking off the legs of the other man.
The man armed with double blade attacks as Jaina force pushes the woman with the lightwhip. Then she spins into the man with double blade. She blocks two attacks; one from the right and the other from the left. Then quick as lightening she cuts his saber in half and follows up with two swings; severing both arms.
After a quick stab to the abdomen, Jaina turns into a spin twisting her saber behind her back and blocking an attack from the other woman. They fight back and forth as the woman with the whip recovers and attacks again. Jaina drops to both knees placing her blade in the path of the lightwhip. Its energy charged coil wraps around her blade. Jaina pulls the woman towards her and shoves her into the other woman. Then she impales them both.
Sensing that Tenel Ka is dead and the hooded man is on his way Jaina points her hand at the two statues before the entrance to the palace. She brings down both statues in front of the entrance. Then she leaps up to the hall of the Falcon and enters from the top hatch.
"What about Tenel Ka…" Han asks when Jaina joins him on the bridge.
She looks at Allana who is still unconscious, "She's dead…"
KYLO REN
As the Falcon flies away the debris in front of the entrance to the landing pad is blown away by the force. Kylo walk out just in time to see the Falcon fly off. The COM device on his arm band starts beeping. "This is Captain Phasma to Lord Ren…" A miniature hologram of a female Storm Trooper in Silver Armor appears.
"Go ahead…"
"Do you have the package?"
He sighs, "No…"
"How unfortunate…Scans indicate that royal troops are gathering near the main palace foyer…Recommend we leave now…"
"This is Kylo Ren to the Star Destroyer Reaper…Lock on to all troops and open appropriate portals…Make sure no enemy troops are in the area before doing so…"
"Kylo help me…" Begs the man without legs.
He looks at him, "The Master will not tolerate a crippled Sith…" He force chokes him to death as a portal opens up. When the man is dead Kylo leaves the portal.
