Hey guys! I'm Blaze Marko!

Now, most of you probably don't know me but I used to type stories under my friends account ForceWeilder413 under the name Ken Tarrak. And if you remember me then that's awesome haha! But, if you don't, then welcome! It's nice that you've decided to read my material and thanks! Now, warning, this is a story that I started at 13 and finished at 15 and tweaked till it was in a decent place when I was almost 16. And now, at almost 17, I'm posting it and continuing with the series with renewed vigor. at Also, it's first person, and don't worry it's not a "self insert" but some might perceive it as a "self insert", but, as a friend of mine once said, "let people think how they want and take it how they wanna take it."

This story revolves around a boy taken from Earth and thrown into the Star Wars universe. Now, before you exit because you've seen a story like this before, I'd like to say that I've put a lot of heart into these stories over the years and I have seven books planned for this series starting with this one: (AGFAJ) A Galaxy For Another Jedi: The New Jedi.

But, I won't spoil anything else for the story and I'll just let you read it! I'll try to post a new chapter every day or two days to keep the waiting factor that keeps people coming. :)

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Legend Comes Alive

I sat at my desk as I normally did when I had homework. It was boring but my mom always said that if I did my work right, I could do it faster and better. So here I was on a Thursday evening, doing work that I learned before.

I always wished that something exciting would happen to me. I didn't know what but, I wanted something to happen.

A noise caught my attention as I finished my last problem with surprising ease. It was a crackling sound, as if something was breaking. It was faint and I could tell that it was coming from outside.

I reached for my blinds and before I got the chance, something grabbed me. A pair of arms wrapped around me and squeezed me hard, pain shot through my body. Though I did not know any martial arts, I watched a lot of movies. With a quick move, I hit the person's gut with my elbow and I was released.

Finally I was able to get a look at the person, and what I saw, horrified me. He had a long dark black cape over him, shadowing his face from me, and a curved, metal object about a foot long hanging from his side. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head once I saw it, a lightsaber!

Son of a bitch! This guy has a freaking lightsaber…or is it a fake…heh, heh.

I placed my foot on his stomach and I looked into the dark shadow where his face was hidden, "Okay buddy; tell me why you are attacking me!"

The figure did not as much as flinch at me, instead he held his hand up towards me. My first idea was that he was crazy. This dude comes into my home, grabs me, has a fake saber and now he has a hand up to me.

"Ok…you sir are so messed-!" I never got to finish as a gust of what I thought was air, flung me across the room and to the wall of the living room. My back felt like it was broken in so many places and I felt as if I couldn't breathe.

The shadowy figure came over to me and touched my face with its hand, making me shiver. Whoever the heck this guy was, he was deadly and a total freak-o!

A low and menacing chuckle came from the hooded thing before me, scaring me even more. I felt as if my heart was pounding out of my chest. I tried to get air and was only a little successful. I thought about my family as his hand retreated.

"Your family is fine…for now…boy." The voice sounded familiar and then something finally clicked in my head, this one thought was totally unexplainable and was absolutely impossible.

"Sith…" I gasped out as another chuckle escaped his lips.

"Yes, boy." He spoke with such evil and creepiness that it literally made my blood run cold and I feared for life at this point.

I had to know what was going on, "Why me?"

"You already know!" He spat at me as I struggled to regain my breath.

"No…I don't…" I tried to get into a proper sitting position to no avail. The Sith leaned forward and cupped my chin with his hand.

"Foolish boy!" He slapped his other hand across my cheek and I felt like I was going to cry. That really hurt! I've never been hit that hard before!

"Owww…" I moaned quietly as I tried to reach for my cheek, but my back was in too much pain for that.

The evil Sith lingered for a bit before talking again.

"The Force is strong in you, boy." His voice had a gurgling sound as his evil yellow eyes stared at me through his cloak.

But what?! The Force!? It's fake, imaginary! How could a real Sith come and take my family and then talk to me.

He pulled me to my feet and a new level of pain shot through my body again. This was really beginning to get on my nerves as I stumbled to my feet. As his hands were on my shoulders, I felt a warm sensation come over me and my back didn't hurt anymore.

Wait, what?!

My back didn't hurt anymore!

Only one thing could make that happen…

Force healing…

I stretched my back out a little to see if it worked…and it did.

I heard a growling sound from above and I looked to find those piercing yellow eyes of the Sith that almost killed me. Oh, Jesus I was in trouble…well, might as well sell it.

"What is thy bidding, my…master?" I managed to give of a deep, evil voice. The words were like poison on my tongue. It felt so wrong to call him that, but if I wanted to go anywhere, I had to sell the deception.

He let out a pleased sigh as the words left my lips, "Good, my master wants you to return with me"

"Master?" I asked confused.

"Yes, he has sensed your power in the Force and he is…intrigued by it. Now, here." He reached behind him and pulled out two lightsabers that were almost identical to Starkiller's in the Force Unleashed 2 trailer only a little darker.

"Jedi are coming and my apprentice, Asajj Ventress, is coming to aid us…I sense…" His eyes closed while I processed what he said, Ventress was his apprentice which means that he was Dooku…perfect…

"…Skywalker and Kenobi…and Skywalker's Padawan." His eyes reopened and I activated the sabers I had. The crimson blade shot out fast and I held them backwards. Sure I had always wanted to hold a real one but this was not the time. Though, I knew that if I tried anything, I would die so I had to keep going.

"We will fight, Master." I growled in my best voice.

"Good, they are here, and Ventress is landing."

He led us outside and three figures fell from the sky. I recognized them immediately, Anakin, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka. They looked back between me and Dooku and I became uncomfortable. They ignited their lightsabers and the two Jedi lunged at Dooku who was soon joined by Ventress. The four of them clashed sabers violently as they slashed and parried each other.

Then I remembered, Ahsoka.

I stared at her blue eyes that looked confused.

She activated her one fully green lightsaber and went into a defense position. She seemed to be a little nervous and….was that a blush on her cheeks? I squinted my eyes at her…Wow! That is a blush…Ahsoka Tano was blushing…wow…

"I don't want to fight you." She broke the silence that was haunting us both.

"Neither do I, but, Dooku will kill me if I don't…I'm sorry, Ahsoka." I said with a flick of my lightsabers. They lit up the ground and I charged. I brought both my blades on hers with a hit of pure strength. Sparks flew as the two blades were pressed against hers.

Ahsoka pushed against me and I was surprised when we were deadlocked; the girl had more strength then I thought. After a minute of trying to gain the upper hand, we exchanged attacks, most of them were ones that I saw from the movies or practiced with Dave.

She brought her blade to my right side, making me block quickly from the fatal attack. She grunted as she hit the ground as I tripped her. Her lightsaber deactivated and fell next to her, she went to reach for it, but I put my foot on it and held my red blade to her neck. But I couldn't kill her, she was innocent. To heck with Dooku!

I turned my saber off, picked up her hilt, and gave it to her as she got up, "Let's go help the Generals."

She nodded with a smile.

Dooku Force pushed the two Jedi Masters making them land right in front of us. They groaned as they pulled themselves up off the grassy ground. I activated my sabers and jumped in front of them in a 'don't you dare' position.

Dooku was furious, "Don't do it boy!"

"Should I dispose of him, Master?" Ventress asked with an evil smile.

"No…all in time, my apprentice." Dooku said deathly calm as his ship touched down behind them. He and Ventress left without another word as I shut off my weapons. His ship's engines roared launching it into the skies. It hit the skies and then a portal opened and it disappeared from all of our sights.

"Master, the other portal is going to close soon." I heard Ahsoka say as I turned around to the three Jedi.

"You're right Snips. Master, we have to go." Anakin said to the older Jedi.

"What about the boy?" Obi Wan asked gesturing to me. I shrugged my shoulders and remembered what Dooku said about my family. He said that they were safe for now which only meant that he had them captive.

"Obi Wan?" I asked, walking up to the Jedi Master, "Please take me with you…Dooku said that the Force was strong in me…and I didn't believe him at first, but after seeing that he almost killed me with the Force, heh, I guess I was wrong. He has my family and I have to save them, but I know that I'm not close to that strong…I need your guy's help."

Obi Wan stroked his beard with his hand as if in deep thought, his eyes closed soon after.

"He was right." He said after a silence, "He is very strong."

"I feel it too, Master." Anakin said after his old master.

"So…can I come?" I smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, Master Yoda will want to talk to you."

"Ah, yes. The troll in all his glory." I always wanted to say that.

Anakin chuckled after my joke, "And I thought that I was the only one who ever called him that!"

I smiled and put up two fingers, "Now there's two people that call him that."

"Ok let's go…" He paused and I caught the hint.

"James…James Kentic."

He nodded and I followed him to the Republic Shuttle that landed about three meters from the new road behind my house. The road had been finished in mid-October and I just walked along side it to see all that they did. They did pretty well.

Once onboard the Shuttle, I sat in a seat and waited for lift off. I had never been in one of these so I had to wonder what it was like, I mean, who wouldn't.

"So…you ever been in one of these?" a voice asked from beside me. I turned to see Ahsoka smiling at me from the seat next to me.

"Nope, I actually thought that these things were just imaginary…guess I was wrong".

"I guess so." She laughed.

"So what is it like, being a Jedi?" I asked leaning on my elbows.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Cool I guess, I mean, I'm only a Padawan learner."

"And?"

"And what?"

"Just because you are a Padawan doesn't mean that you should sell yourself short."

She blushed a little at that, "Thanks."

I decided to change subjects, "Nice lightsaber."

She picked it up and handed it over to me, it was light and, well, pretty cool, "Yeah, it was kinda tough, you know, building it."

I looked over, confused, "How hard could it be?"

"Pretty hard when you are in the caves of Illum, in complete silence and you have to concentrate every ounce of your being to use the Force to that extent."

"Hmmm…" I handed her saber back. She took it with a smile and clipped it to her belt. I took one of my own lightsabers looking for a place to open it to get the red crystals that were haunting me. After a minute, I gave up; the thing had no freaking opening compartment!

Ahsoka giggled and I looked up to her, aggravated, "It's not funny, Ahsoka."

"Here, let me." She reached over and took the lightsaber, accidentally brushing my hand with hers. I felt my cheeks warm up but it went away as I saw the lightsaber disassemble and then reassemble with the Force, leaving the crystal behind. I smirked and tossed her my other lightsaber, she did the same and soon I had two lightsabers without crystals. She smiled and I saw two blue crystals in a small opening in the hilt. She closed it with the Force and she opened her eyes to me.

"Thanks," I looked at her, "I guess I'm going to have to learn that, eh?"

She nodded and leaned back, looking back out the main screen port.

Then all of a sudden the ship started to shake. A small alarm went off and I sprang to the question, "Obi Wan, what is happening?!"

"I don't know. Anakin?" He turned to his former apprentice.

"Don't ask me Master, I'm just in the dark as you are." He replied, getting out of his seat, unclipping his saber. Kenobi followed his lead as he slowly moved out of his seat and to the docking bay. The ship stopped as I drew both my deactivated hilts and waited for the next move. Ahsoka came up behind me and tapped my shoulder.

"Maybe you should stay here." She warned.

I shook my head with a smile, "Nope, not sitting out of this action."

The door opened and out came a load of blaster fire, red blaster fire to be exact. And I knew that only one thing in this reality could have that firepower…

"Master, droids!" Ahsoka shouted as both Jedi deflected the blaster bolts. Each blast was precisely deflected, but more droids were coming in. Soon they were going to be overrun and then we would be in big trouble.

As my thoughts went through my head, the two Jedi went and started to destroy the droids. Ahsoka looked at me and I nodded, seeing the message in her eyes. We activated our sabers and we jumped out. I could tell that we were in a Separatist Cruiser, an older model if I was seeing correctly.

"Hello!" Ahsoka shouted at me and I was able to deflect the blast back at the droid.

The droids started to fire on us both and we were able to defend ourselves from the incoming blaster bolts.

"Call the droidekas." One of the droids said to another, gaining my attention. Then I got an idea, I couldn't run to it on time, so I would have to throw my saber. So I did, and my aim was dead on. The droid split in two and fell to the ground, but my saber fell with it.

Time to see if I am Force sensitive, I closed my eyes and reached out my hand. At first I felt nothing, then I felt a tug inside my chest and I let it tug some more before it burst open and I felt a weird feeling overtake me. The lightsaber flew back into my hand and I deflected the blaster bolt that was a few inches from going through my skull.

Pretty lucky!

I ran up to one of the droids and hacked it in half, bisecting it. A few more droids rushed at me, guns blazing. I deflected most of them until one grazed my shoulder. It stung badly but I focused on the droids over by Ahsoka. She seemed to be handling herself pretty well; then again she is the same Ahsoka from the show. That's when I realized she had her second lightsaber in her hand and it was a yellowish green…eh, more yellow.

She gracefully bisected three droids with one swift movement with her yellow saber. She stopped and walked towards me, "That's how it's done" She flicked her lekku hitting me with it.

"Yeah, well if there was an AAT I would show you." I growled shutting off my blades and placing the attachment part to the belt loop on top of the belt itself.

"Yeah, like what?" She teased.

"Oh Jeez!" I shouted as an AAT came rolling behind her.

"Oh, what, are you speechless?" She taunted again but I just pointed behind her and her mood fell faster than a brick.

"Oh, that." She jumped out of the way of the blast that came directly at her.

Oh the perfect moment. I smirked and turned to her in mid-air, "May I?!"

"Go ahead." She challenged with a smirk, I could tell that she was being sarcastic.

I nodded, unclipped my sabers, and activated them. After that I threw them at the side guns, chopping them off. I ran straight at it and jumped; my sabers met me in mid-air. I landed on the top of the vehicle and started to stab it a few times before slicing off its main gun. Using a Force jump, I went to the ground and lifted the thing up in the air. I made a fist around my sabers and the tank started to crush until it was encased in a ball about the size of a medium sized boulder. I let it go, making it fall fast towards the ground, I used both my blue sabers to cut through half of it and then with a jump, sliced it completely in half. It steamed as it fell in opposite directions, metal red and orange with the intensity of the sabers' heat.

I walked to Ahsoka who was speechless. HA!

"That was awesome!" She stated still in awe from what I could tell.

"See now that's an attack." Anakin's voice said from beside his Master. They both had smiles on their faces and I felt like I did it right.

"Where did you learn that, young one?" Obi Wan asked me with a raised brow.

"I made it up." I had to lie. I hated to lie but, I had to. I can't just say that I took it from a game about this world.

"Well nice work, maybe my Padawan could learn a thing or two from you." Anakin said slightly pushing Ahsoka my way.

"Master!" She growled at him and he just smirked.

"Maybe, Skywalker." I teased.

"Hey!"

Obi Wan decided to intervene, "Ok, ok, we can discuss this later, but first we must find a way off this cruiser. The droids destroyed our ship and I don't see one in this hanger." He turned his attention to Ahsoka and I, "You two need to see if you can find a large transport in another hanger, there has to be more than one on this ship while Anakin and I try to find one as well."

"Obi Wan, do you think that that is such a good idea, after all they are only Padawans-!" Anakin started to say but the young Togruta cut him off, "I'm a Padawan; he's more like a youngling."

"Hey!" I turned to her, "I'm more skilled than you are, 'member how I beat you on my world." My lips twisted into a smirk and I crossed my arms victoriously.

"I was caught off guard!" She retaliated.

"I still got you, off guard or not."

"Why you-!"

"What's the matter Ahsoka, mad that I beat you?"

"You!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you!" Her cheeks became a bit flushed. Even though her skin was orange you could still tell when she was blushing. It was kinda funny.

Obi Wan decided to speak, "Ok, you two will work this out later, right now we need to focus on getting out of here."

"Obi Wan is right, Snips. You and your boyfriend will have to sort this out later." He said with a smirk.

"Anakin!"

"Master!"

We said at the same time, both our cheeks a deep red.

Anakin held up his hands in defense, "I was kidding!"

I unclipped one of my blades and stomped for the nearest door with Ahsoka chasing after me, "Wait up!"

Before the doors closed I heard them exchange a few more words.

"They make…an interesting pair, Anakin?" I could only guess was Kenobi.

"Yeah, between you and me Master I think…" The door closed on us before I heard anymore.

The walk down the halls was quiet and surprisingly empty. No droids or guards or anything. It was like this place was deserted. But I knew better than that, they must've be somewhere else.

Then I hit something with my foot. I looked down and saw a droid body, but it was in shreds, claw marks all on it, every inch. The whole body was lacerated by…by…something.

"Wow, those are some claw marks." I remarked as I bent down to get a closer look at it.

I heard a low and vicious growl, making my head shoot up, "Shit! We're in trouble!"
