Jake the Great Jedi

Chapter 1: A New Discovery

Jake has always been a powerful person. Since birth, he has been able to use the force to move things with his hands. When he was a toddler, he finally discovered how to move things with his mind. When he was 13 years old, in 8th grade, he was rarely picked on because of his powers. Because of how strong the force was with Jake, he was very intelligent. Ever since he learned how to use the force, he wanted to be a Jedi. He had read a lot about them and he became very curious and interested in the ways of the force and wanted to discover how to properly use his powers to help keep peace in the universe. When he was only 15yrs old, he began experimenting on making himself his very own lightsaber from the scraps and junk parts that he found on the desert planet of Tatooine. He devoted all of his free time into doing this. Finally, after about a year of trying and failing, he finally did it. He finally created his very own lightsaber from broken junk parts. After he had constructed his first lightsaber, he immediately started playing with it. Twirling it around in his room like it was a toy. He started "playing Jedi" in his room with his lightsaber. He got so carried away, that he accidentally slashed a hole in his door. There was a loud searing noise as the lightsaber made contact with the sand wall door, burning that part of the wall into glass which instantly shattered due to instability and spontaneous transformation. This happened just as Jake's mom past by the door. The noise startled her, making her drop the laundry on the floor. She stopped what she was doing immdiately and walked into Jakes room. "Jake? What are you doing?" she asked politely and with much question in her voice. Jake hid his lightsaber the second he heard the door open.

"Nothing Mom, It was nothing," Jake responded with a convincing voice.

"Nothing? Jake, your door has a window now. What are you experimenting with this time?" She replied in a meaningful tone. Jake was embarrassed as he reached into a small box on his desk and pulled out his lightsaber, and walked over to his mom with it. He held his hands out towards his mom with his lightsaber laying innocently in the palms of his hands.

"This," Jake responded shyly. His mom reached and picked it up from his hands and started scanning it from ever angle, trying to figure out what it was. She finally held it out in front of her and pressed the button on it. The lightsaber ignited ferociously, scaring his mom stiff.

"Jake! You built a lightsaber!? Why would you build a lightsaber?" his mom replied in an outburst.

"I want to be a Jedi Mom, you know that," Jake responded

"You are too young and live too far away from couresaunt to be a Jedi, and I forbid it"

"But why Mom?"

"Because, you're too young and I need you to stay here with me. I'm getting old"

"Your not that old Mom"

"Not yet I'm not, but I'm getting there. Now figure out a way to fix this door so that when we have company over, they can't spy on you when you're changing, and trust me, that one girl who lives next door wouldn't hesitate"

"Veronica isn't like that mom"

"That's what you think. Well, you better find a way to fix this door"

"And what if I can't?"

"Then I guess you wont be getting this back," his mom replied, referencing his lightsaber. Then she left, closing the door behind her. There was a brief pause while Jake took a moment to comprehend what had just happened. Suddenly, he sensed the presence of some one in his room. He turned around and there stood a girl named Veronica. She had soft looking skin that was so bright in the sun hitting her face through his window that she looked like an angel. She had brown hair that went down just passed her shoulders and crystal blue eyes. She wore old and raggedy cloths. A purple shirt with holes all through it with various rips at the ends of it. She was wearing a dirty white shirt under her purple shirt so that the rips wouldn't reveal too much of her body. "Would be" brown pants that were torn from the knees down to the point where they were more like long shorts. She had on socks that came about half way up her calves, and cloth shoes with thin rubber soles. This was the typical outfit for everybody in the outskirt village of Mos Eisley.

"Hey Jake," she said in a pure and angelic voice.

"Hey Veronica," Jake replied

"I see you finally made your Fabulous lightsaber"

"Yeah, finally. After a year of hard work, experimenting and research, I created a lightsaber that I can call my own just to get it taken away"

"Boy, that's harsh. Sorry"

"Don't be, you didn't do anything wrong"

"Yeah, but it still bums me that all your hard work had gone to waste"

"Well, unless I figure out how to fix sand wall," Jake said as he put his hand on his head, going deep in thought.

"Well now that you know-"

"AHA!!! Why don't I just build a new sand wall for my door? That would be much easier than trying to repair this one."

"Hey, that's an idea."

"Naw, Really? I had no idea that that was an idea," Jake said in a sarcastic tone.

"Ok, let's go get some sand," Veronica suggested in a playful, almost kiddish voice

"Alright, hold on. Hey mom, I'm going to the junk yard to find parts to fix the door!" Jake yelled to his mom without leaving his room. Jake and Veronica heard a faint "ok" so Jake left out the window how most kids would do in Tatooine.

"Wait... You were serious?" Veronica called out to Jake she hesitantly followed him out through the window.

Jake and Veronica started walking down the streets of the village heading out towards the outskirts of town. This place referred to as "The Outskirts" was out away from the town and deep into the vastness of the desert.

"So, why do we need to go to the outskirts just to find sand for a sand wall?" Veronica asked with extreme curiosity.

"Because, the sand used for sand wall is very fine, clear, and undisturbed. You're not going to find any sand like that around Tatooine. This I promise you." Jake replied.

Before they reached the boarders of town, Jake walked up to a sand speeder used for traveling into the outskirts.

"Jake, is this speeder yours?" Veronica asked cautiously

"No, so hurry and hop on," Jake replied impatiently. As soon as her body touched the speeder, Jake took off out into the desert so fast, Veronica nearly flew off the back. They went so far out into the desert that Mos Eisley was barely in view, way far off in the distance and stopped. They were in the middle of nowhere. Jake got off the speeder and walked a little ways away from the speeder and crouched down to examine the sand.

"You want me to just stay here?" Veronica asked

"Yeah, just stay over there on the speeder," Jake responded as he further examined the sand. He noticed that there were irregular patterns in the sand, "This sand must have been disturbed recently," he said to himself, deep in thought. Then he started feeling vibrations in the ground, like something was moving underneath him. He stood up slowly and started looking around.

"Is something wrong?" Veronica asked. Jake didn't reply. "Hello? Anyone ho-"

"Shhhhh!!!!" Jake interrupted.

"Hey, don't you shoos-"

"Shhhh!!!!" Jake repeated. Both of them were still and silent. They heard a rumbling in the ground. Jake ran as fast as he could to the speeder and hopped on. He immediately hit the clutch and spun around, flying straight back to town. Jake heard the rumbling follow them.

"What's going on?" Veronica asked

"We are being followed," Jake responded.

"Followed!? By what?" Just as Veronica finished her question, a giant sand snake exploded out of the ground, right directly behind them.

"THAT!!!" Jake replied as he hit the clutch harder. These sand snakes lay about 150 to 300 feet long. They have one mouth and three pincers which were used to catch prey. Its skin is rough, scaled and very sharp with plates sticking out in various places on its body to help propel through the sand. This sand snake's body was roughly 35-40 feet around. It slammed its body into the ground next to Jake and Veronica, causing a tidal wave of sand to come hurdling at them, flipping their speeder and burying them and the speeder half way under the sand. When the wave had ceased, Veronica and Jake dug their way out of the sand with great haste and turned to face the sand snake. It was gigantic. It balanced its body to show its full length and let out a mighty roar of dominance.

"Jake, what do we do," Veronica asked. Jake didn't take his eyes off the sand snake for a second while he decided what to do.

"Veronica, I'll distract this thing while you get the speeder," Jake finally responded.

"What!? Are you crazy!?"

"Yes. Just do it. Trust me," Jake said as he started running towards the giant snake. When the snake saw Jake running at him, it lunged full force at Jake in an attempted to smash him. Jake jumped out of the way just in time then jumped on top of the snake using the force to help him jump. He pulled a rope out of his belt and wrapped it around one of the scales on its back to help him hold on. While the snake roared, squirmed and thrashed all over the place, Veronica found the speeder and started digging it out of the dunes. "Hurry up, Veronica!" Jake yelled. Veronica hurried as fast as she could to unbury the speeder. Meanwhile, Jake was struggling with the beast. It finally whipped its body around and sent Jake flying, screaming as he flew through the air.

"Jake!!!" Veronica yelled in great concern for Jake. He hit the ground with a dull thud followed by a small splash of sand. The snake looked in the direction that the vibrations from Jakes body against the ground had come from and charged at him, lunging its mouth, wide open, at Jake. It was a hit. The monster had Gotten Jake in its mouth. Veronica stopped moving completely, awestruck in shock at what had just happened. The monster balanced its body back up and gave out a proud roar. Veronica, weeping continued to dig up the speeder.

Suddenly, the monster started screeching. Veronica looked over at this massive sand snake. It was waving and flailing all over the place. It slammed its body into the sand several times like it was in terrible pain. Finally, the monster stopped moving in an up right position, and let out a hyper sonic scream as its head expanded immensely and exploded. The pieces of its body scattered across the desert. Various fragments of the hard scales from the snake went flying straight at Veronica, striking all over her body, including her head. The remains of the snakes body, below what had exploded fell to the ground lifelessly. Jake hovered to the ground very delicately, outlined with a coat of pure force which made him untouchable by anything he didn't allow. He touched the ground, and then took off running at full speed towards Mos Eisley, completely ignoring Veronica. He was running so fast that it seemed almost as if he was flying just above the ground. He was running at least 700 kilometers per hour. When he entered the streets of the village, he fly by everything so fast that it left a slipstream that destroyed everything on the side of the streets and the houses that were by the streets. His speed alone tore them to shreds. He slowed to a stop as he approached his house. He walked in through the door. It appeared that no one was home, but Jake could feel the presence of some kind of life form in the building. He sought out his lightsaber and located it in a cabinet in the kitchen area. Just as he reached to open the cabinet, he heard his mother's voice from behind him.

"Jake, what do you think you're doing? The wall still isn't fixed," explained Jake's mother. Jake turned around and in one motion grabbed her with the force, smashed her head against the ceiling and threw her body out onto the streets through a sand wall. Sand wall is a very tough and durable structure made from fusing grains of sand together and hardening them to make it as hard as bricks. Her body ceased all movement after that assault. He then used the force without his hands and without looking to open the cabinet and moved his light saber to his right hand. He then walked out of the house, and was greeted by what seemed like every single bounty hunter in Mos Eisley. There were 23 full armored bounty hunters surrounding Jake, all with blasters of every shape and size pointed right at Jakes head

"Don't make another move unless it's to drop any and all weapons u have on your person and to put your hands up," said one of the bounty hunters. Jake replied with a grin and dropped his lightsaber. Then he raised his hands up with a quick motion and lifted all of the bounty hunters into the air with the force. Then he swung his hands back down to the ground causing all of the bounty hunters to ram into the ground. As they started to struggle back to their feet, Jake grabbed his light saber off the ground, ignited it and threw it like a boomerang, slashing each bounty hunter in a circle, killing every single one of them.

When his lightsaber circled back into his hand, he withdrew the blade, and put his light saber in his pocket. Then he extended both his arms out to his sides and focused all of his energy on picking the entire town up out of the ground. The Entire planet shook hysterically. Jake closed his eyes to sharpen his concentration. The pressure lifted him off the ground. The outline of pure energy that once surrounded him expanded, surrounding him in an orb of energy, the ring growing much more powerful than the outline was. The buildings of the town began crumbling to pieces, killing everyone in them as the debris crumbled on top of them. Everything floated off the ground. Clouds of pure sand formed in the sky, turning the area dark from blocking out the sun. Dust tornadoes began to form in various places around the village. People and creature of all kinds were heard screaming in terror, but Jake paid no attention to them. "I'm fed up with this Dumb, pointless planet. If you say I can't be a Jedi, then I'll show you all that I can be the most powerful Jedi to ever exist!!!" Jake screamed at the village in magnificent anger and rage.

Once everything was off the ground, he sent it all swirling in a vortex around him, starting off slow, but increasing to speeds as fast as a star cruiser flying through space.

A roaming Jedi named Anakin Skywalker saw this extravagant horror from across the desert while on his expedition in search of a bounty hunter named Boba Fett. He saw the swirling vortex of debris from miles away and immediately went over to investigate on his Sand Speeder. Anakin stopped just outside the tornado of debris and dismounted his speeder. The propelling force of the vicious vortex threatened to lift Anakin off the ground and into the nightmare himself. He was able to keep his ground and tried to use enough force to negate the cycle by reversing it, but he wasn't powerful enough to do this. It was too massive. He gave up for a moment and studied the situation in front of him. It seemed impossible for anyone to do anything. Then, suddenly he saw a figure in the middle of the hurricane of the remains of the town. He ducked a little bit and started venturing into this disaster under the debris, the gust of the tornado threatening him the whole time. He finally got to what would be the "eye of the storm," and stood up straight. When he saw that a boy was what had been doing this, Anakin was astonished that a boy, a teenage boy, would have such incredible potential. Then he got focused, and whipped out his lightsaber like a professional, smooth, quick, and intimidating.

Jake sensed this, and turned to look at this Jedi who stood before him. His focus dropped with his jaw. He was awestruck. He had only read and heard about Jedi from his friends and from books, but never actually seen one in person. The ring of energy grew weaker from the lack of concentration and the storm began to die down. Anakin, however, didn't notice any of that. The only thing he noticed was a threat to millions of innocent lives. Anakin threw his lightsaber directly at Jake, as fast and as hard as he could. His lightsaber pierced through the orb, and pierced Jake right through the chest. The orb shattered like a glass window, and disappeared into nothingness. The force of the hurricane ceased completely and everything fell to the ground like a bomb around the "eye of the storm" where Jake and Anakin were. At first, Jake floated there for a moment, then he fell down to the ground with a mild thud, seemingly lifeless. Anakins lightsaber retracted at the impact of its victim against the ground. Anakin then used the force to retrieve his light saber from the boys' body.

Anakin approached Jake with confidence and laid his hand on Jake chest. He felt a heartbeat. The boy was still alive. "But how?" Anakin wondered. Recognizing this, Anakin picked up the boy and threw him over his shoulder. When he did this, he noticed an odd looking metallic object fall to the ground. Anakin picked it up with his spare hand to examine it. It was a lightsaber, made from junk parts. Anakin was so bewildered by this discovery that he couldn't quiet comprehend it. He put the lightsaber in his belt loop and began walking through the remains of the town of Tatooine.

He got to his speeder, and laid the boy in the back of his speeder. This Jedi sand speeder seated four people and had a retractable cockpit. He put the boy in the back seat and started his journey across the desert back to his starship. On his way there, he noticed the remains of a large sand snake, the one who Jake had mercilessly destroyed earlier, and saw legs coming out from underneath a large chunk of the sand snake's body. He went over to investigate.

Anakin stopped the speeder a few yards from the remains of the sand snake and got out of his speeder to go and see if this person was still alive. He jogged over and tossed the large chunk off the person with a force push. It was a young girl. Looking around the same age as the boy Anakin had just dealt with. He picked her head up in his hand and put his hand in front of her mouth to see if she was still alive. He felt a very mild and warm gust on his hand in front of her mouth. She was breathing, she was still alive. He then lifted her up gently and walked her over to the speeder. He placed her in the front passenger seat of his speeder, hopped in and left to continue his quest to his starship.

When he got to his ship and stopped the speeder, the girl let out a subtle sigh. Anakin flashed a glance at her, anticipating her to wake up, but she didn't. She just re-adjusted to a more comfortable position. She crumpled her legs up against her chest and positioned her hands together under her head, forming a sort of pillow. The boy remained motionless. Anakin then slowly drove the speeder into the starship storage area. He parked it inside and got out to press the button to close the hanger doors. The sound of the doors closing was very loud.

"Who are you!?" Anakin turned around back at the speeder to see the girl arched up, climbing slowly out of the speeder.

"No, don't be afraid. I rescued you," Anakin replied

"Rescued me?" the girl questioned

"Yes. I did. What is your name?"

"My name?"

"Yes. You do know your name, right? The one your parents gave you?"

"No! I don't know what name you're talking about. Who are you!?"

"Hey, calm down. I mean you no harm. I'm a Jedi, only here to help."

"I didn't ask for your help. WHO ARE YOU!"

"Ok, calm down. My name is Anakin Skywalker. I am a Jedi Master, trained at the Jedi council in Couresaunt."

"Couresaunt?"

"Yes. It's a different planet, a long ways away from here. I'm going to take you there so you can receive the best Medical attention in the Galaxy."

" I never said you can take me there"

"There's no other place for you"

"Take me home!" the girl demanded. Anakin paused for a moment. He did not want to be the one to tell her why he couldn't do that, but she put the responsibility on his shoulders.

"Your home… is…well… you don't have a home anymore," Anakin stuttered saying this statement.

"What?" the girl replied, her voice low, scared and confused.

"Someone destroyed it… and they… your parents… no one survived," Anakin explained. He wasn't about to tell her that the boy in the backseat of the speeder right next to her was the one who had done it. He started walking towards her. Her head was down in sorrow. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her to support her. She was still very upset with Anakin, even though he hadn't really done anything, but she wrapped her arms around him, buried her face into his chest and cried.

Aniken's communicator went off, beeping two times. "What was that?" the girl asked in concern.

"It's just my communicator," Anakin replied as he let go of her and reached down to a pocket on his belt and pulled a small, silver, electronic device with three buttons on the bottom half and a speaker taking up the entire other half. Anakin pressed and held one of the buttons and spoke into the speaker. "Skywalker," was all Anakin said into the speaker. A voice spoke out from the device.

"Anakin, what's taking you so long? You should've been back by now," Said a voice through the device.

"Yeah, sorry. I know. I'm on my way back right now."

"Why aren't you back yet?"

"I discovered something. A young boy with potential far beyond anyone else I have ever seen and a young girl who I presume to have amnesia"

"Amnesia?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Just hurry back. Master Yoda requests your presence."

"Right, ok. Ill be right there. Skywalker, out." Anakin concluded and put the communicator back into the small pocket on his belt. "You stay here, ok. Just relax and get comfortable and don't touch the boy," Anakin explained. Then he turned and went through a door exiting the hanger and going into a different room. The girl looked towards the speeder and walked over to look at the boy. He was wearing a torn up a pair of brown pants that were torn off on both sides just above the ankles. His shoes were more less sandals made of cloth. The tips of his shoes were gone, worn away to nothing. His shirt was ripped to shreds. He was wearing the most raggedy cloths she'd ever seen anybody in, yet he was gorgeous. His face was so perfectly sculpted. His face looked so smooth. His body was so nicely formed that she couldn't help but to touch him. She reached her hand slowly and cautiously towards him. She touched a part of his stomach that was exposed from rips in his shirt. His skin was cold, yet so smooth; she nearly fainted just touching him. She pulled her hand away very quickly to catch her breath. She reached to touch his face, but stopped half way. She couldn't possibly handle touching this gorgeous boy again. She'd faint. So she climbed into the front passenger seat of the speeder and looked over the back of the seat at the boy and stared in awe at him laying in the back seat the whole trip through space to Couresaunt.
