Star Wars Rebels: Demons inside us Prologue (Don't have to read but I lost the original story so here's a recap)
My name is Dante and this … is my story.
Many years ago, a descendant of the Darkside learned of an ancient ritual that could supposedly summon a being of the force with immense power. This Sith lord was Darth Sideous. When the ritual had finished, it was no being of the force that answered… but two children, both with snow white hair and pale skin, accompanied by two blades. They looked … human. But the Sith lord didn't accept this because of the powerful connection he felt within them. He attempted to control them, but they fought back and escaped with the ancient artifacts.
Then it all changed. They met a man who took them in and cared for them. This man was Qui gon gin, Jedi master of the Republic. But because he already had a padawan, he trained the boys in secret, for when his pupil was of age, he would take one as his own apprentice. That was Obi wan … My Master and mentor. I'm sure I don't need to explain that I was one of those kids. Me and my brother …Vergil.
Shortly after Qui gon's death, Obi wan took up Anakin as his padawan, as well as me and Vergil. We were a handful to say the least. Years passed and Anakin, was granted the rank of Jedi knight. He was older and "wiser than us".
But before we knew it, Anakin was given a Padawan, my childhood friend Ahsoka Tano. We were sent on many missions together and… I fell in love. As did Vergil.
They fell in love and attempted to keep their relationship a secret. But Vergil… fell to his inner demons. He used his powers to attack those who stood in his way, even our comrades. Victory was never enough for him. He wanted to be a Jedi knight… but the council saw darkness and death in his heart. They refused. Outraged by this, Vergil laid waste to Coruscant and the Temple. I was the only one who could stop him, but to win, I had to unleash my own Inner demons. My brother was gone…
Soon after, the council banished me from the order because of my demon abilities. Not only that but Ahsoka was framed for a crime she didn't commit and Jedi we thought we knew abandoned us, only to find out that the real traitor was another padawan.
The Jedi offered to take Ahsoka back, but she refused. Fear drove the Council to make these decisions. So... we walked away… from all of it.
But even through all the chaos, we fell in love.
Years later our son, Keanu, was born and our family was whole.
A few months after, Anakin called for our help, against the councils will, to free Mandalore from my master's old rival, Darth Maul. It was a fierce battle but unfortunately Maul managed to escape.
A year had past and Keanu started showing signs of powerful abilities, but the day was not for celebrating. That was the day when the Clones started slaughtering the Jedi in cold blood. Fortunately, our comrade Captain Rex disobeyed order 66 and fled.
That was the day when the Republic … became the Empire.
Ahsoka and I were concerned that the clones would come after us and kill Keanu but fortunately Senator Organa of Alderaan found us first. He offered to keep Keanu safe if we joined him in the fight against the Empire. With no other options in sight, Ahsoka and I immediately agreed to Join his "Rebellion" as he recruited us to become Fulcrum Agents.
With 16 years having passed, Keanu was already a fine young man. We trained him in the ways of the force and surprisingly he was naturally gifted in combat and mental focus. But then he bested me, well I still say that I let him. But I had been monitoring for any sign of demon abilities, but I came up empty handed. So, whilst I took Keanu out for his first assignments, Ahsoka met up with a small group of rebels known as the Ghost Crew.
The first was a Tweilk pilot named Hera Sendulla, Captain of the ghost ship. The second was a female Mandalorian Named Sabine Wren. The Third was Male Lasat Named Zeb Orrelios, believed to be the last of his kind. The fourth was an annoying astro droid Named Chopper. The fifth was Kanan Jarrus one of the few Jedi who survived order 66 And finally was his apprentice, a boy named Ezra Bridger who gave a message of hope throughout the galaxy. It caught our attention.
And that is where our story begins.
