Prologue
White noise. The screeching threatening to engulf me. Over that I could hear murmurs of people who were unknown to me as I slowly regained consciousness.
"Did he survive the blast?" Came the voice of the Sith Lord Count Dooku.
"Checking vitals now Sir." Came a mechanical voice the galaxy had come to know all too well.
You're probably wondering why I'm unconscious surrounded by Droids and The Dark Lord of the Sith. I could start at the beginning of this battle. But that wouldn't be the beginning. The beginning started 6 years ago. Struggling to breath.
Chapter 1: Running.
"So ya thought you could just run off with our credits, huh?" Said the owner of the hands choking me, "Well now there's just you, my friends and this back alley. So give me back the credits an' I won't 'ave a reason ta cut ya nose off!"
This was when I first discovered my abilities. At a time when my life was threatened. 10 years of age and about to have my nose violently hacked of by a vibroblade in the Coruscant slums, which were filled with all the pollution which wasn't in most of the large planet, rubbish had been just dumped here. I had nithing excelt the clothes on my back, which were just a blue t-shirt, blue jeans, some black running shoes and a grey hoodie, and now I was gonna die here, all for a few credits I may have 'borrowed' so I could have a half-decent meal.
The man holding me was a human wearing a black leather jacket and grey jeans, combat boots on his feet not designed for running so he was lucky this was a dead-end. He also had a shaved head. A scar running from the bottom of his left cheek to his right eye adorned his face, and a small scar on his upper lip. He had a voice of perhaps cockney descent, or just really chavvy.
"Now then kid your gonna give me ma credits or imma have ta start cuttin'. Five. Four. Three. Tw-"
An explosion of pure energy burst from my body, like a kind of mine that he had gotten to close too, launching my assailant through the air crashing through some poor sods kitchen. The Choker's allies laid injured on the floor, wearing the same 'uniform' but one was a blue Rodian with large eyes and scaly skin. The other on the floor a yellow Zabrak with his decorative tattoos on his body. Two of the humans that had been closest to me had been launched onto the street. The ones capable stood and approached me. Three all together two with vibroblades and were both Duros'. Large foreheads and yellow eyes with both green skin, they looked like twins. The one without a vibroblade had a crude looking daggerand was a dark-skinned human. I noticed all of them had a mark on each of their right shoulder sleeves. It appeared to be a circle with a jagged circular outline surrounding the inner circle. This was jet-black upon a grey surface. Perfect, I've only gone and stolen from members of the crime organisation 'Black Sun'*
"Right boy," said one of the men wielding a vibroblade. "Don't know 'ow ya blew up Slasher without gettin' 'urt. But now we gonna teach ya what pain is!"
Great. Now their gonna kill me an' I've got nothing to show for my life. If only I could get Slasher's vibroblade I would have a chance. I glanced at his body and saw it lying just outside the building. But one of the vibroblade wielders were in front. I imagined what I could do with it. Then it flew from Slasher's unconscious form and stabbed through the man with the crude knife's chest flying to my hand.
"Woah. Don't know how the kid did that but, you're on your own man. Aaaaaaaaaaa-"
The Duros' was already gone before he could finish the word. The other one with the vibroblade Continued his intimidating approach.
"I can take you all by myself. Your just a little speck of shit I wouldn't even step on. Come then, imma rip you apart."
As I prepared to die. He flew through the air making a second hole where that Slasher guy was.
" That's gonna cost a lot to patch up." Wow good job. Out of all the worst jokes in the galaxy and I pick that one. I turned to see who saved my life. I was greeted by a sight only seen in legends and dreams down here in Coruscant's underworld.
A middle aged light-skinned man wearing cream-coloured robes and sporting a short ginger beard stood at the end of the alleyway with his arm outstretched. A tube-like hilt hung from his utility belt. A jedi.
"Come with me boy. More will be here soon" Were the first words out if his mouth. A command but it seemed kind, gentle. Foreign.
"B-But who are you?" I stuttered
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, at your service."
so what did you guys think, if it could still be improved tell me, and thanks Animeniak for the review!
