Jedi Academy

Chapter 1

Memories

A day has passed as they finally arrived at Yavin. Fox was waiting for clearance to land at the fourth moon of Yavin, also known as Yavin 4. Yami and Yugi were already given separate bodies as Ben, Krystal's younger brother, arrived to help with the process. Thankfully, the process was successful as they both have separate bodies, yet their appearances remained the same. Yugi was Yugi and Yami was still himself. Now, Yugi decided to become a part of the tactician force with the Great Fox.

Serenity, Yami, and Bakura were anxiously waiting as they were ready to begin their training. However, Serenity was a little down that she won't be able to be with Joey for a long while. Fox turned to the three new padawan learners as he wanted to tell them something.

"Yami, Serenity, Bakura; you three should remember that training here isn't easy. Falco, Krystal, and I will be training you three with other certified Jedi Trainers."

As Fox finished, they finally landed near the hangar entrance to the Jedi Academy, which appeared to be a gigantic form of the ancient Aztec pyramids, yet a little more modern at the same time. As the ship's engines died down, they exited from the front hatch of the Great Fox as someone clad in a black suit was standing out there. He looked aged as his hair showed gray with blonde in his hair. Fox stood by his side, introducing the group to the Jedi Master.

"Yami, Serenity, Bakura; this is Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. He's the one who runs this academy."

"Pleased to meet you," Luke said.

Serenity stood there, looking into his eyes as she could see something familiar. She could see the depression in his eyes that somehow signified to her that he's been through a lot of pain.

"Luke, you look to be in pain," Serenity said.

Luke looked in her direction as she said that. He heard about her skills as a psychologist and other sorts of skills of the human mind. What amazed him is how fast she could pick up on his pain.

"Yes, I am. The reason why I am is from recent events during the past year."

"What were they from?" Bakura asked.

"It's from the death of my whole family. I'm the surviving member of the Skywalker-Solo family."

Fox walked up to Luke as he placed a hand on his shoulder. Luke looked over to Fox as they both share that pain.

"Luke, we should get with their training as soon as possible," Fox suggested.

"I understand," Luke responded. "I would like you three to come inside with me."

Luke and Fox walked back inside through the Yavin Temple hangar. Yami, Bakura, and Serenity all started to follow in, but Serenity stopped as soon as she heard her name being called out. She looked behind her to see the source was from Joey.

"Joey, what is it?"

"Serenity, I just wanted to say good-bye before you leave," Joey said.

"Joey, you should know that we can still communicate."

"I know…but…"

Without another word, Joey pulled Serenity in with a strong embrace. Serenity began to return the heart warming hug as she knew that they won't be seeing each other anytime soon; at least not like this. Joey released his embrace as Serenity did as well.

"Serenity, I'll be seeing you later."

"Don't die on me, okay?"

"Same goes for you, sis."

Joey began to walk back to the Great Fox as he would be working to join Rogue Squadron and become a pilot alongside with Tristan, Duke, and Seto. Fox gave command of the Great Fox to Peppy as he, Falco, and Krystal will be gone for a long while.

"But at least Peppy is a great tactician," Fox thought.

Fox was waiting at the hangar door, watching as Serenity and Joey were walking their separate ways once again. Serenity stopped by Fox's side and looked back to see the Great Fox one last time. It then began to take off as Fox and Serenity began to remember the times on Earth. Serenity was remembering all of her memories of Joey and her on that beach that Joey promised her for as Fox remembered the time that he first began to work on the Great Fox.

"Serenity, we'll begin your training soon," Fox said.

Serenity looked over to Fox as he pivoted on his heel and began to walk in. She followed close as they passed by a number of starfighters that she's never seen before.

"Fox, what are these ships?"

"They're ships that we use if there's an aerial raid. Various ships are in here, and we'll be getting to that next week."

"Why?"

"It's best to know how to fly a ship now since the academy's been getting many raids."

Serenity kept walking with Fox as they exited the hangar and into a hallway. Only a few people were walking about in this area as this was what a college would be dormitories. Serenity looked into one of the opened rooms as the sliding automatic door wasn't shut. She could see that the room she's looking in belonged to a male student that was probably younger than her. She doesn't know for sure, but that was her wildest guess.

"Serenity, you said that you and Yami are sharing a room, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I was just making sure, that's all."

Fox stopped in front of a door that was sealed shut. He then pressed a few buttons on a panel to the left of the door. As he did, the door slid open, yet what seemed odd to Serenity was that the door went up and not to the side. She shrugged that off and stood there, looking into the vacant room.

"This is where you and Yami will be staying. Bakura will be staying next door to another student."

Serenity looked in the room as the 20 x 20 room was fit for the both of them. It contained a fairly large sized bed, which was large enough to fit both her and Yami, with a desk about 3 feet from the bed.

"This is pretty nice," Serenity said.

"It's actually some of the best rooms you'll get."

Serenity looked behind her as she heard not Fox's voice, but someone else's. She looked up to a male human as he stood there just over 3 inches taller than her. He appeared to be somewhere around 25 years of age as his light brown hair was kind of spiked to the side a little bit. Fox turned around to see him with a smile on his face as his brown eyes shone bright.

"Hot Shot Jedi Al Maddox. It's been a while," Fox said.

"Prodigy of Might Fox McCloud. Yes it has, but as soon as we felt your presence, the children were like 'yay, Fox is back.' Yet I can't understand why you came back."

"I'm here to train this young lady here. Al, meet my apprentice, Shizuka Jounouchi; best known as Serenity Wheeler." Fox stood there, thinking for a minute. "Or is it the other way around?"

"That's okay." Al turned to Serenity and extended his right hand out. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Serenity said.

Al stood there, thinking for a minute as he was wondering about something. He then remembered something as he snapped his fingers.

"Hey, you should meet my girlfriend sometime," Al said.

"And who would that be?"

"My girlfriend-"

"Would be me."

Serenity looked to her right to see a human female about an inch shorter than Al and around 24 years of age as her brown hair hung down to her shoulders with a content look in her brown eyes. Even though Serenity has never heard the voice before, something in her seemed to trigger a memory in Serenity's mind. She could remember a picture like that in Lisa's apartment.

"You're…Kelly Yander, aren't you?"

"That's right, young one," Kelly said. "And you must be Shizuka Jounouchi, the young Jedi padawan that I've been hearing about."

"Yes, I am."

"So, you're the one who's the only other friend to my sister."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Kelly went over to the room and looked into it to see the room that sent memories to her.

"You know, this used to be Lisa's room. She used to board with someone else that used to go here, but she moved over to the Jedi Temple as soon as Lisa left."

"May I ask you something?" Serenity asked.

"Sure."

"Why didn't Lisa have many friends?"

"…I believe it's because of the pain she had from Lauren's death. She didn't want to feel that pain again."

"I see, but she sacrificed her life for me, yet I still have friends."

"Well, that's a different situation," Al said.

"So, are you hungry?" Kelly asked.

"Yeah, kinda," Serenity said.

Serenity, Kelly, and Al all began to walk off, leaving Fox standing there. He looked into the same room as memories came rushing back in his mind. He also remembers this room as well.

"This also was Kelly's and Lisa's room when they were very young. I also remember the time that I showed Lauren my Titan Slayer. Man I wish I could see her face again with that reaction."
