The temple was in chaos, jedi teachers and padawans alike we're running everywhere. One padawan, Jehick San'trel, had been meditating in his chambers when two clone troopers walked in. Their blue painted armor showed they were members of the 501st.
"Padawan San'trel, under the orders of the Supreme Chancellor, I hereby place you under arrest," one of the guards said raising his blaster. In that moment Jehick understood their orders were not to take prisoners. He swiftly took his lightsaber from his side, jumped over the soldiers, turned around, and decapitated them both. As he stood in the hallway he began to realize the severity of the situation. Corpses of his jedi friends lie scattered in the hallways. Jehick remembered what Master Yoda had told him in one of his lessons.
Flashback
"In the case of an emergency, go to the holocron room you should," Yoda spoke wisely, "a jedi master there should be."
Present Day
Jehick knew he had to get to the holocron room for two reasons, a jedi master would be there to protect him and if he had to flee from the temple, the holocrons would provide lessons for him. The problem was, the Holocron Room was on the other side of the temple. Jehick remembered the ventilation system. If he followed the vents, he could get to the holocron doors relatively unseen. He walked down the hallways a bit before eventually finding a hatch to climb into. As he crawled through the hatches he heard the sounds of blaster fire below. Just a little bit more, he thought. Finally he reached the end of the shaft and jumped down into the hallway. He began walking towards the door when it opened abruptly.
Out of the door walked Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, a man Jehick knew he could trust. He began to walk up to the taller man, when all of the sudden Master Skywalker drew his lightsaber. It took a second for Jehick to piece it all together, but when he did, he knew what he had to do. He drew his lightsaber and ignited it. Anakin charged at him and their lightsabers clashed. The elder jedi's face was close to Jehick's and he could see the hate in his now yellow eyes. Master Skywalker pulled back and then charged forward again. The lightsabers clashed a few more times before Jehick felt his throat contract. Just as he began to slip into unconsciousness he felt himself be force pushed through the window and out onto the speeder lanes below…
15 years later….
"You have now reached level 1314, please depart the transport immediately," the transports intercom said calmly. As all of the people exited the transport, one man lingered for a second. He took one last breath of the somewhat fresh air, before departing too.
As he stepped out of the shuttle, he looked around the crowded hangar. Most of the people were just selling cheap items for high prices. The man looked around the hangar in disgust before exiting the building. Outside of the hangar, a hologram of the Emperor played one of his speeches. In the man's opinion, everything had gone downhill since the fall of the Old Republic. Now there was a tyrannical dictator, and he was forced to live down in this hell hole. He walked down the streets for what seemed to be an eternity before eventually come to the street of his apartment.
The road that led to his apartment was dangerous, as there usually was some sort of shootout going on. Today was one of those days. Usually he would just ignore the fights, but today something caught his eye. The thugs were fighting a boy! He tried to ignore it as he didn't want to draw any attention to himself, but he had to help. There was a stack of barrels the kid was hiding behind, that the man quickly ducked behind as well.
"Who are you?" The kid yelled over the gunshots. By the looks of him he couldn't have been more than 16 years old.
"Does it really matter much," the man yelled, "I'm the one saving your skin!"
Boy's POV
This man's crazy, I thought to myself. He's going to get himself killed out there. Just as I said this, the man jumped over the barrels drawing his blaster and with three quick shots, he killed the men.
5 minutes later…
"Let me go!" I screamed as the man led me into his apartment. "This is kidnapping."
"Shut up for a minute," came the man's loud reply. "Can't you see i'm trying to help. He pushed me into the apartment, opened one of the cabinets in what I assume to be his kitchen, and pulled out a first aid kit.
"I'm not sure if you've realized, but you've kind of been hit by a blaster," the man said, "and if you're done yelling I could fix it."
Almost as soon as he said this, a wave of pain hit me. I looked down at my arm, and pulled up the sleeve. What I saw made me a bit nauseous. There was a big wound in my arm that was bleeding profusely. I looked up to see the man standing there, and by the look of his eyes I could tell he was sincere in his motives of helping me.
Man's POV
The boy must have finally understood what I was trying to do, as he held out his arm for me to help.
10 minutes later…
"So, what's your name kid?" I said casually after finishing bandaging his arm.
"Ala'nok, Ala'nok Denari, the boy said, "but most people just call me 'Al'."
Then came the response I was dreading, "What is your name?"
I had always hated having to lie about my name, but I did this time just as I always do.
"Sevos, Sevos Caja"
He nodded, and for a moment there was an awkward silence, until I spoke up. "So, uh, do you have a place to stay?"
Ala'nok hesitated for a second, before shaking his head no.
"Well, there is a guest bedroom down at the end of the hallway where you can spend the night if you wish." Immediately after I said that his head perked up, and a smile was plastered on his face.
"You really mean that?" He said.
"Sure," I replied, "Anyways i'm going to bed now. If you wish to watch a few holos you may, but don't spend too much time up."
"Ok," he said.
As I walked to bed, I thought about the events of the day. I sensed the force in that boy. He is powerful. I decided not to dwell on this now and with that I turned of the light.
Meanwhile on an Imperial Star Destroyer…
"Admiral, we have found a criminal on the Empire's Most Wanted list."
"Really? Interesting…" Came the admirals reply.
"Shall we alert Lord Vader?" The officer asked.
"No… I would rather surprise Lord Vader with the head of this man. Send the Coruscant Police to apprehend this suspect."
"As you wish."
