IMPORTANT READ THIS!
This story was instead of a reboot of my Halo Fanfiction (Which if you like Halo you should Read and Review) I am attempting star wars for the first time. I love star wars and of course love Empire at War which inspired this in a way (I am a tactician at heart) so this is sort of about a child with the force on an unexpected course of events and the rest is up to you to decide (after chapter 3 its all you through reviews)
Disclaimer: DO I LOOK LIKE George Lucas… I mean Mickey Mouse to you? (Star wars was just fine until Lucasfilms was bought out… maybe another empire at war?)
4 BBY
At only 10 the human Jamie's future had gone from bad to worse.
It all started when on the planet Csilla his parents had unbeknownst to him attempted an uprising against the empire which failed on the space and land front with 74.5% of the uprisings forces captured and/or dead, his father "On a business trip" and now ending up with a group of 5 stormtroopers at their doorstep.
"Mom, it's a set of stormtroopers!" He called up to his mother who rushed down and pulled him aside.
"Jamie, run upstairs into our room and grab the glowing box and take the back door to Mr. Roechell's (Yes by the way that is how the man's name is spelled) house and tell him to grab the hook." His mother urgently told him as she took the blaster pistol out from the nearby file cabinet.
"What's going on?" He tried to ask.
"Just hurry!" His mother snapped as he ran upstairs to the room.
"What could this be?" Jamie asked himself aloud as he grabbed the box and got to the backdoor.
Jamie ran 4 blocks to Mr. Roechell's house and knocked.
"Yes Jamie? What is i-"Mr. Roechell began to ask when he saw the glowing blue box and Jamie told him that he needed to grab something called the hook.
"What's going on?" Jamie once more attempted to ask when Mr. Roechell began to order him to head out and take the speeder meet up with Rocky, Kim, and Dexter at the spaceport and tell them about the B-1 and that from there he should focus on opening the box with his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A HALF AN HOUR LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamie was at the spaceport where he met Rocky a Devaronian who was 14 and supposedly knew where Jamie's father was but would never tell Jamie. Then there was Kim, a Torgutan who was the same age as Jamie and her father went with Jamie's father on the "Business trip" and then there was Dexter the 21 year old human and was a great friend with the entire gang.
"What's wrong Jamie?" Dexter and Kim asked but Jamie told them about the stormtroopers and the B-1.
"We need to get off the planet before they find you!" Rocky yelled when he heard about the B-1.
"Get on the Reaper now!" Dexter ordered to the 3 and immediately called for his best friend, A Sullustian named Nuvi.
There was a lot to say about the Reaper about the ship itself without Dexter's modifications. First would be the fact it's a Keldabe class capital ship with twin mass drivers and engines. There were also 4 turbolaser batteries and a special energy sapper. Not mentioning the twin Ion cannons. Now to mention upgrades we would need to begin in categories beginning with distruptors.
The ship was modified to contain a rocket distruptor to prevent any marauder or broadside ships from dealing great damage, aside from that there are also basic communication distruptors and a tractor beam to prevent any medium sized frigates or smaller capital ships to get away. All were bought from the black market.
Next upgrades were put into a makeshift "Hangar". The hangar had 8 Star Vipers and 7 Skipray bombers.
Alongside those were some added firepower coming from a full threesome of ion blast cannons (If you played empire at war you know that three shots from the Y wings completely disable a ship for a long time) and of course Dexter had to add a torpedo launcher to the ship.
Dexter made sure the inside was quite spacious despite the hangar's size. He loved to have protection against boarders so he had 5 registered blaster rifles (At the time he bought them, the blasters were not sanctioned on Fondor or anywhere else when dexter was there) and also he had 5 rooms built in to make it similar to a luxury class which included 3 bedrooms, all with built in bathrooms, Another Bathroom, One Command Center, and a Lounge area, not mentioning the bridge.
The final upgrades were put into the shields in which Dexter was proud of. The Reaper was very energy efficient and the shields were upgraded at the shipyards above Fondor itself which had shipyards only outclassed by Corellia and Kuat which could physically widthstand high amounts of fire from star destroyers for a very long time without the shields going down.
Dexter almost flew on the ship yelling "Jamie search the holonet Interpol for mine and Nuvi's names! Then I want you to head to the bridge and plot course A to Kuat as a direct course and B as the indirect through rebel planets. Set aside Bribe credits for each course in case rebels decide to charge fee's."
Jamie set up course A to indirectly fly through Ilum, Selvarus (A stop because of the distance), Reecee (Yum), Ord Mirit, Borleias, Caamas (Which is a longcut to avoid Coruscant), then straight to Kuat in hopes of lying low.
Course B was a longer Route starting at Ilum, Glee anselm (A stop because it's a long distance), Fornax, Vortex, to Shili, Colla IV, to Telti, then to Kuat. (These planets have either weak imperial fleets or none at all).
Jamie did not know why he wanted to go to Ilum for both courses but he just felt drawn to Ilum near the spaceport.
Just then Nuvi arrived and checked the course.
"Excellent planet choice, Maybe next time I could let you pilot the thing." Nuvi Jokingly said but even that sounded grim as Jamie checked the Interpol.
"Are you sure it's a good thing to check the Interpol on Spaceport Holo-internet?" Jamie asked Dexter as he walked in.
"It won't matter. Have you set aside the bribe money from the glove-box?" Dexter replied
"Of course!" Jamie reported.
"I can search the Interpol. You focus on that box right there." Dexter said and sat down in front of the Holocomputer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SEVERAL MINUTES LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamie walked to the restroom in the boy's bedroom. He was sure that Rocky wouldn't need to use it for a long while. He stared at the box and contemplated trying to open it with physical force (Kind of confusing considering the 2 types of force)
"What the…" Jamie felt something surround him but suddenly began manifesting into something in front of him as he sat in shock.
"Meditate… use the force to open the box." Something said before dissipating as if it was never there.
"The force…" Jamie thought for a second before deciding that was his mother's mind power she spoke of.
He put himself in a position to meditate and began focusing… Images flooded into his mind he never knew he had seen.
A blonde child about my age… My father wielding a light-sword and pushing a stormtrooper squad away as he begins to retreat from blaster fire…Me on Ilum crafting something… A crystal...
Instantly Jamie flew out of the meditation and instead focused on the box. It was like a puzzle to him to try to make the box open little by little but eventually the box opened and revealed a Holo-Communicator with a pre-recorded message.
Instantly his mother appeared on the holo-recording and began speaking.
"If you are watching this we are sadly captured and likely dead by now. This is of urgent matter that we never wanted you to get involved in but because of this you would likely have been dead. We should start by letting you know in on what happened because I know you have likely asked everybody I told you to meet the question "What's going on?" and nobody answered in the rush." His mother spoke and paused
" I and your father are Jedi and I understand you were never truly taught about this but there is a man named Darth Vader that has been hunting Jedi for months now on the emperor's orders. We attempted an uprising but sadly we failed and it led to this. We were hoping you would never get involved but your father was captured and I from what you now know and saw has been captured again."
"But what about the force and the box and the Light-Sword?" Jamie mumbled
His mother seemed to answer when she spoke again. "I understand that you are likely wondering "What is the force and the box and the Sword. The force, although you were never truly taught about it is the magnetic-like field surrounding and emitted by all living beings. There are few like me and your father called Jedi that can use this to a full extent and you are one of us. She paused once more as Jamie absorbed the fact that he was force-sensitive.
"Now you must be wondering about the box I told you to get and open to get this. The box is a Jedi Holocron that if you have opened it like you did means you're a true jedi. Now your father went to Ilum where he left you a suitcase in Sector 1.567 at the cave. There will be a few parts for something and a Holocron where he left you a message explaining the reason you're there and you will get 2 things and a special training droid." Once more there was a pause.
"Your father who was also on Kuat at the time setting everything for the uprising left you inheritance of his R2-S5 unit and a basic interpreter wristwatch he made himself. All of this should be given to you within the trip you are making. Good luck and goodbye for now son." His mother spoke and finally ended all of the facts that were on his mind at the moment and walked out another boy. A hardened one ready for what's to come.
"What's with you Jamie, you look as if a womp rat jumped out of the toilet at you." Kim asked Jamie as he walked up to the bridge.
"Jamie what do you need?" Dexter asked from the table in which he was playing Holo-chess with Nuvi.
"How long until we reach Ilum?" Jamie asked.
"You finally opened the Holocrom… About 2 hours. I would recommend getting some rest before we get there. We're going to spend 2 standard days there and land in the specified sector." Dexter answered.
Jamie walked to the hangar and saw his personal Star-Viper that Dexter gave him for about 100 credits that Jamie polished and heated speeders to obtain (as Csilla is a snowy planet) and began polishing before finally jumping into the cockpit and checking the controls out. Jamie found something in the cockpit and pulled it out and without glancing at it noticed a modified grappling hook.
"What is it and how did it get here?" Jamie mumbled as he saw a switch and the super-magnetic hook switched and a glowing blue light appeared at the end of the gun.
"What does this do?" Jamie asked himself and shot the gun at the floor revealing it did in-fact shoot freeze rays.
The last switch turned the gun into a stun pulse which Jamie found out when he shot it at his Star-Viper which suddenly was disabled.
Jamie finally walked into his room and rested for the next few hours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SEVERAL HOURS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamie woke up on the planet where a spaceport was set up. Jamie checked and walked to the single cave available in the region and began searching for a Jedi crystal.
Jamie entered the cave and felt waves of force visions overwhelm him.
The crystal you seek is closer than you think… A Boat… A red crystal, a moon destroying a planet.
Jamie snapped out of his vision and began once more walking through the cave and closed his eyes and just sensed where he needed to go.
"I must be very good at using the force to be able to try to sense my crystal" Jamie thought as he found what he was looking for… not the crystal but his father's Holocron.
"Hmm I wonder if dad can tell me where my crystal is within these blue and green crystals." Jamie said to himself as he picked up the Holocron and once more began focusing on the Holocron.
The Holocron opened in due time and Jamie activated the Holocron revealing his father.
"If you are reading this either me and your mother or one of us has taken you to create you lightsaber. If we are…" His father struggled to choke the words out unlike his mother "Dead then listen to me and don't listen on. The Holocron that I laid out for this type of situation is due farther in near your crystal. The crystal that is yours will be either a eternally wet blue or a forested green and stands out compared to the remainder. The reason for this is simple, you are going to be the one to destroy the next evil after the emperor." His father paused
"Good luck for now and the next message will be the one for you and either of us or both" His father stopped and the hologram faded out.
For a second Jamie felt anger against the empire that had taken his parents… the ones that are likely torturing them or killed them. He accidentally crushed the Holo-communicator and realized what he had done.
"I have to keep control of myself…" Jamie murmured as he continued his trek through the cave. He reveled at the bright green and blue crystals and eventually came across the Holocron and once more began focusing on the Holocron.
The Holocron opened, revealing another Holo-communications device. He pressed play for the pre-recorded message. "I am sorry I had to get you involved in this." His father appeared on the Hologram "I assume your extremely angry but for now quell that anger. I have left a suitcase in a small box imprint that is on rock hinges. That has all the parts for any lightsaber of your choosing that I have collected from an imperial base on Coruscant when I was a tourist there. As your mother may have told you R2-S5 has been mind wiped of most everything except of family memories to prevent the empire from getting information about your force sensitivity." His father paused.
A man named Weasel, a good friend of mine should be at the main spaceport on Kuat has him. He should be powered off when you get there." His father paused once more.
"Now your crystal should be behind you, and the case in front of you. The case contains diagrams on how to wire and create your diagram. The security code to the case is your name son." The recording ended and Jamie pocketed the second Communicator.
He saw two crystals that fit his Fathers description. Jamie was drawn to the Eternally wet blue crystal and chose it, then he found the suitcase where specified and walked deeper into the cave, finding a table.
First he planned to open the suitcase. He fingered the edges and finally found a gel fingerprint pad.
"Password?" The suitcase speakers asked
"James Drak" Jamie said in a clear voice.
"Thank you" the speakers replied and the suitcase opened with a dramatic amount of steam pouring outside of it.
Inside were several different types of lightsaber parts to choose from and an instruction manual including wires and the training droid promised by his mother with a mask to train him in sensing hits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SEVERAL HOURS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jamie had finished the lightsaber. He didn't choose a small extremely fast one that could easily be ignored as weak or a really bulky one that swung slower than most but instead the axe in the middle.
"Done at last…" Jamie murmured to himself as he began walking outside to the reaper.
"Where were you?" Kim asked as began to go aboard.
"I was just doing something very important." Jamie began to reply as Kim caught a glimpse at Jamie's brand new lightsaber.
"What is that?" Kim asked.
"Shhh- walls have ears" Jamie said (He had got to say what he had dreamed of saying as a spy) and he pulled Kim into the Reaper.
"I should have a book about it in one of the sacks that I left in here." Jamie told her.
He searched the sack finding several books he had never read before and overlooked including:
A History of The Empire
The Jedi Way
The Rise of the Republic
And the one he was looking for A History of The Lightsaber
"Here. Read this and you should immediately know what it is." Jamie said and walked out.
"Good thing you just arrived. We need to get out of here now, a couple guys heard us discussing our plans to head to Ilum and the Empire is gonna be on our ass before we know it" Dexter called and everybody went to their stations.
At last the ship got through to their long trip to Glee Anselm as now the Empire is on them now and Jamie began thinking of ways to pass the time.
Holo-chess, Meditating, Practicing with the force, Training with my lightsaber to find a style that suits me, training myself in Melee, For god sakes explaining to my friends I'm a jedi!.
Jamie decided to do the Lightsaber training and walked over to the hangar, finding a set of training dummies in a closet and pulled out another overlooked book, Lightsaber styles for beginning Jedi which was found in his mother's room and read up on some stylesin which he practiced each one and decided his personal favorite was a hybrid of the third and fifth forms due to their similarities in nature and also practiced several different moves.
He found he preferred to disarm, Cut, and in extreme cases dismember his opponents instead of killing (Known respectively as the Sun Djem, the Shiim, all Shoks, and when he was forced to kill he used a stabbing blow known as the Shiak or killed someone using a gun instead of a Lightsaber)
Jamie also practiced 2 moves to build up momentum and also protect himself from behind known as the Jung if the enemies were behind him or the Jung Ma if he wanted to build a full spin disarm (Mostly in duels) and that was what he had learned from the book alone before going to retire for the 4 standard day trip to Glee Anselm.
