STAR WARS: JEDI LEGACY
Lisa Jade swung her Lightsabre deflecting the bullets effortlessly. She flicked one blaster bullet to one of her attackers, an Imperial. She swung and twirled the lightsabre over head like a lasso and then brought it down to slice through one of her attackers. As she did so she left her self open to attack and was shot. She feel to the ground screaming in agony.
* * *
Lisa Jade sat up sweating. Where was she? Where were the Imperials? As she came too she realised where she was. She was in her room at the Jedi Academy on the floor by her bed. Lisa scratched her head, yawned and blinked groggily. She stood up.
Yesterday Lisa Jade had travelled from her home on Kessel to the academy where her father Luke Skywalker would teach her the ways of the Force. She had taken her mothers name because she had never really liked the name Skywalker. Besides she had not even been close to her father! She had never even seen him in person apart from yesterday! mind you her Mother was barely closer to her. Her mother, Mara Jade, had been seen less and less by Lisa as her responsibilities for the "Smugglers Alliance" grew. So Lisa had been raised by her Tweik nanny Kei.
Lisa walked over to her wardrobe and selected a grey cotton jump suit with a black V-neck. She pulled off her cream cotton night dress and pulled on the Jump suit and zipping up the back. She then went over to her desk and put on her black utility belt.
"Always carry a utility belt with a blaster, gripping hook and fibber chord at least!" Her mother had once told her had once told her, "Who knows when it may come in handy."
Lisa pulled on her black, high healed, ankle boots. Next she brushed through her waist length, brown, curly hair. After putting on some jewellery she walked outside.
Lisa loved the temple even though she had only been there one day. She loved the atmosphere, the climate, the tropical smell, the freedom of studies........ everything! She felt so lucky being able there and she vowed to try here hardest in everything she did there.
Lisa, lost in thoughts crashed in to one of the other students, Nodersh. Nodersh was a bossy young man, about seventeen. Usually was with his friend Alika who was a Wookie. If anyone did not do as Nodersh wished he would threaten them by telling them that Alika would tear their legs off. Lisa doubted that Alika would tear peoples legs off as she was particularly calm wookie and Lisa doubted whether Luke Skywalker would let Alika stay at the academy if she did. But even so, she did not want to test this theory.
"Are you blind or just stupid!?!?" Nodersh exclaimed.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you there." Lisa said, trying to end the discussion.
"You didn't see me? oh well that's all right!" said the boy, laying sarcasm on thick. Suddenly Nourish remembered something. "Hey! You're Master Sky walkers daughter aren't you! You're that....... Lisa Jade!" he exclaimed in delight. Lisa nodded in reply. "We'll call you Looser Jade" he said thinking it was clever "looser" and "Lisa" sounded somewhat the same, "What do you think Alika?" Alika "Buffed" in approval at his friends play on words and Nordesh and Alika went on their way laughing at the name "Looser Jade."
Lisa sighed and shook her head. It wasn't a good start at the academy but it could have been worse. Lisa tried to stay optimistic.
* * *
The great hall was even more beautiful then the day before. She was one of the last to arrive and as she had no friends here yet, all the seats were either saved or occupied. She finally found a seat and sat down "Hi" said a boy beside her my names Kik Nami, Kik for short." Lisa did not look up as she was trying to "shoo" away a lizard from here seat. "What's your name?" Kik asked.
"I'm Lisa Jade" she said. She closed her eyes. Lisa had not been properly taught but her mother had showed her a few survival techniques she used one of these to make the lizard believe there was food. The lizard, fooled by this trick, hurried off. Lisa sat down on her seat and turned to the boy who had spoken to her.
Suddenly her heart started thumping in her chest and her breath felt like it had been suddenly drawn out. The boy who sat next to her was amazingly beautiful. He was only a little taller than Lisa. He had jet black hair that fell over his eyes but it was not long enough to reach the lobe of his ear. But the most beautiful thing about him was not his hair but his eyes. They were a light purple but you had to look carefully to tell as they looked blue at first glance, especially under his hair.
"Your eyes......." Lisa said "their so beautiful......" but the boy did not get a chance to answer her as Luke Skywalker started to give his lecture.
Lisa was staring at the boy until she felt a slight tap on her shoulder. She looked around but no one was there as her seat was on the gangway. Lisa then looked at Master Skywalker. He gave a slight smile and a small wink. Lisa realised that while giving the lecture he realised that Lisa was not paying attention and tapped her shoulder using the Force. Lisa looked at her feet until Luke looked away in an apologetic fashion.
* * *
On the way out Lisa met Nordesh and Alika along with a few other aliens and humans. They all encircled around her when she tried to avoid a confrontation with the group.
"Hey Looser Jade," Nordesh sniggered "Meet my Friends."
All the other beings started giggling and punching in to cupped hands menacingly. Just as the group started to close in towards Lisa they seemed to catch sight of something. Lisa looked up to see what the gang was starring at. There was a silhouette standing in the doorway. "Leave her!" It ordered. The group fled. Lisa stared as the boy, Kik stepped out of the shadows.
"Its you!" Lisa breathed.
Kik gave her a warm smile "Of 'course," he said. Then he looked worried "are you all right?" he asked.
Lisa stepped towards him and took his hand "Yeah...... thanks to you." she looked up in to Kiks purple eyes through his shiny black hair and leaned forward, raising herself on tip toes to meet his lips in a passionate kiss.
Lisa lowered herself back on to the floor, bit her lip, looked down and fled down the hallway to the turbo lift as if embarrassed by what she had done.
* * *
The next day Luke came to see Lisa. Lisa was catching up on some tutor work she had been sent from Kessel to keep Lisa's non-Force studies going. She sat at her small desk in her room. Luke knocked
"It's open" Lisa's replied cheerfully.
Luke peered round the door to see Lisa leaning over a data pad. When no one said anything she looked around..
"Oh," she said surprised "I didn't realise it was you."
Lisa put down her pen and stood up. She smiled even though she felt uncomfortable around Luke. She felt that way because she did not really know him but he was her father so she found it difficult to know how to react. On the other hand, Luke wanted a fairly normal relationship with Lisa.
"So...." Luke began "What were you doing?"
"It's tutor work, Old Republic history, Master Skywalker, Sir." Luke was surprised at how formally she answered.
"There's no need to call me "Master Skywalker," he said smiling "There's no one around so call me dad, Luke, Father..... whatever you're most comfortable with." Lisa blushed and Luke mentioned for her to sit down.
There was a few moments silence in which Lisa shuffled uncomfortably.
"I saw you sitting next to Kik Nami today in the lecture," Luke asked "Is he a friend of yours?"
"Sort of Master...... I mean Father" Lisa replied
"Good, that boy needs a good friend......." He said shaking his head.
"What's wrong with him?" Said Lisa loosing her shyness and becoming inquisitive.
Luke sighed "Well..... Lets just say he didn't come here to become a champion of peace and justice in the galaxy." Luke turned to look at Lisa "He had a dark past even though he is so young......." Luke paused "I shouldn't really be telling you this...... its confidential information."
* * *
Later that day Lisa looked everywhere for Kik. She had so much she wanted to find out about him. She didn't even know what planet he was from or whether he was even human!
Lisa suddenly saw Nordesh. After Kik had made a fool of him before in front of everyone at the academy Lisa Figured that he would be pretty mad. Lisa ran in the other direction But slammed in to something huge, hairy and as solid as a wall. Lisa fell on to the floor she propped herself up and looked up to see Alika standing over her growling. Lisa looked around and realised she was surrounded by all the people and aliens she had seen the day before. They were carrying rocks.
"No one makes a fool of me and gets away with it" said Nordesh.
The colour drained from Lisa's face. "I... I didn't as... ask Kik t ...to rescue m ..me." Lisa stuttered. This was one thing Lisa hated: the way she stuttered with fear. She thought that maby if she leaarned to controll her fear well enough through the force she could stop the stuttering.
"Why didn't you defend yourself," Nordesh taunted "aren't you the daughter of the man who killed the Emperor and Darth Vader and the daughter of the Emperors Hand I wonder if your really bluffing" Lisa stayed quiet at this. Nordesh looked more menacing than usual. "well either way its payback time."
Nordesh threw a rock and it hit Lisa on the side of her head. The pain shot through her head. The stone knocked her forward on to the stone floor. The bridge of her nose was now bleeding but before she could get to her feel again more rocks hit her.
* * *
Kik sat in Master Skywalkers. Chambers when he had come to the academy he wanted to use the force to add to his many assassin skills. Kik had been a feared bounty hunter. He was well respected (even though he only started at the age of thirteen) under his cover name of Z. After Luke Skywalker had identified this Luke requested that Kik come to his office every day for a meditation session. Here the Jedi Master had helped Kik see the error of his ways and heal his wounds of hatred.
Kik was, at that time meditating with Skywalker. Suddenly he heared a high pitched scream echo in his mind. Kiks eyes flashed open awakening him from his meditation. Kik and Luke shot a look at each other. "Lisa!" They said simultaneously.
* * *
More and more rocks pounded Lisa's body. "Come on," said an Ithorian teenager "show us how powerful you are with the force!" he laughed
"I bet she doesn't even know how to use the force!" said a Calemarian girl
"She doesn't even have any force talent!" said Nourish.
Lisa closed her eyes tears and blood streaming down her face. Suddenly the force took over. All the rocks that were in the air stopped and dropped where they were. The group gasped
"Leave me!" Lisa's voice boomed. Although her voice was shaky from crying, it was strong, but not angry, calm
* * *
Kik and Luke ran down the hallway to where they both skidded to a halt as they saw Lisa on the floor many rocks in the air around her as if suspended in an orbit around her head. About seven students were gathered around her all shocked.
"Leave me, leave me alone" She called out then abruptly fainted, hitting her head on the hard stone floor.
After many hours Cilghal, the famous Jedi healer had done all she could to the wounds on Lisa. Cilghal explained to Luke that Lisa may have to receive some bacca treatment to heal some of the more severe cuts to her head. Lisa lay unconscious on her bed.
Luke crossed his arms and looked at his daughter and then at Cilghal.
"I have some other busyness to deal with to do with this incident," Luke sighed. Cilghal and Luke bowed to each other and Luke left Lisa's room. Cilghal then sat on the floor next to Lisa's bed.
* * *
Luke entered his office. Seven of his students stood as a sign of respect in silence. Luke mentioned for them to sit down as he took a seat behind his desk.
"How do you think I feel?" he asked Alika howled and Nordesh translated
"Angry?" he asked
Luke shook his head "Disappointed and sad that my students could not listen to my teachings to this extent. Jealousy is also linked to anger and as I have tolled you all many times before Anger is the dark side of the force" The students looked very ashamed "I would like you all to apologise to Lisa and learn from your mistakes" Luke want to leave and then looked back. "I think you should also tell Lisa why you were so against her too.
* * *
As Cilghal watched Lisa struggled to come back to consciousness.
"Hello Lisa." She said warmly.
Lisa tried to focus her eyes on the person in front of her but it was no use. She had a furious headache. she turned her head to the side hopping it would go away. "My...... head..... ow" she said when the pain wouldn't let up.
Cilghal rushed to block the pain. "Any better ?" she asked
"Yes, thank you." said Lisa "Who are you?" she asked Cighal.
The Calemarien laughed. "My name is Cilghal. I am an ex-student of your fathers." She explained, "I'm a Jedi healer." Just then Luke Skywalker entered the room.
"Lisa," he said surprised, "You're awake, How do you feel?"
"Thanks to Cilghal I'm a little achy and some of the cuts sting a little but I'm OK" she said optimistically
"It's probably the pain block Cilghal has performed on you." the Jedi Master thought out loud "I'll need to show you a Jedi healing trance that will help you recover." There was a knock at the door which Luke answered. It was Kik along with Alika and Nordesh's gang.
The visitors came in and the seven students said sorry but left soon after. Kik lingered though. Master Skywalker and him talked for a while. Lisa couldn't hear what they said but soon Kik came to talk to Lisa.
"You're very strong Lisa." he said, half smiling, "That thing you did...... stopping the rocks and all......." Lisa gazed through Kiks hair in to his lilac eyes not saying a word. After a while Kik said "Master Skywalker was saying how we would be a good team. He says that I should stop going to him for healing and meditation and work with you. What do you think?"
It would be wonderful" replied Lisa.
Lisa Jade swung her Lightsabre deflecting the bullets effortlessly. She flicked one blaster bullet to one of her attackers, an Imperial. She swung and twirled the lightsabre over head like a lasso and then brought it down to slice through one of her attackers. As she did so she left her self open to attack and was shot.
