I was falling. There was nothing around me except darkness. How did I get here? Just thinking made my brain cry for mercy from the pain that had overwhelmed it. Everything shook violently then was still once more. I heard an echo of what sounded like someone far off attempting to call to me. I tried to call back to them but I could not. I just fell farther and farther. I tried to see the bottom but was greeted with only more darkness from this abyss I was falling into. The echoes returned but a bit louder this time. Who is calling to me? Why can't I see them? How did I get here? Suddenly a jolt of pain jumped through my cheek as I began to rapidly blink.

I blinked and before I knew it the darkness was gone, replaced by a harsh bright white. I winced and blinked trying to adjust but failing. But just as I was about to keep my eyes closed a mass stood before me. I tried to concentrate but continued to fail. Then gradually my eyes began adjusting and I saw a woman standing before me. Her bright grey eyes stared at me as her mouth moved as though trying to talk to me but I couldn't hear anything. Her brown hair was tied into a small ponytail in the back with a strand on her right side hanging down beside her face. Her hair was completely messed up as though she had been in a fight. Her face was flawless however, bright almost glowing skin. She shook me as I began hearing a ringing. Then she stumbled as we were both shaken physically by a yet unknown force. She held onto the sides of my head staring into my eyes again. "Please you must listen!" She urged as I blinked getting my hearing back. "I…I'm here…where am I? I…Who am I?" She looked at me puzzled a moment but shook it off. She looked off to the side a moment then back to me. "Listen, we need to get out of here! Can you stand?" I thought a moment realizing that my whole body was numb. "I…I can't feel anything." She cursed under her breath. "The drugs are still wearing off then. Come on I'll carry you!" She urged pulling me up out of my seat and hoisting my arm across her shoulders. She began walking and holding me up with her. I blinked to clear my vision at it started to blur. I looked to my right and saw seats covered the whole wall where I had previously sat. The room was basically a giant tube with seats covering the entire wall to the other side as well. "Why…Why are there so many seats?" I asked groggily struggling just to hold my head up. She hissed trying to drag me with her. "They are already off the ship, we need to hurry there's no time!" I stayed silent allowing her to drag me as we reached the door at the end of the room. She opened the door which lead to a room looking the exact same as the last except rather than having seats along the walls there were hatches that lead to escape pods. All of them were gone…but one, which was at the farthest end of the room. The woman sighed. "Nothing is ever simple." I chuckled weakly. The ship shook so violently that the woman almost fell of her feet. "Damn!" She cursed stumbling upright to the pod. She hit the control panel beside it causing the doors to slide open. "Get in!" She urged as she crawled in. Her eyes went wide as I got some sort of feeling in the back of my head that the ship was going to explode in a second. She punched the button inside causing the door to slam shut and the pod to explode out of the dock it was in away from the ship. The force of being shot into space slammed the woman back against her seat and caused me to slam into her. The sheer velocity kept us glued in place. She winced as she wrapped her arms around my waist so I didn't go flying around the pod. I coughed quietly as she squeezed tightly. I think she's just a bit nervous about flying. I took a peek out the window in the back of the pod witch faced the ship. I saw it was a hammerhead class modified for transport due to its lack of guns it looked. How do I know all this? The pod shook as the ship exploded sending us flying even faster towards the planet ahead. I looked forward and saw the planet was a heavily wooded planet as we streak just over the canopy top. "Oh dear!" The woman hissed practically squeezing the life out of me. I shut my eyes tightly as I braced for impact.

I coughed as I opened my eyes slowly. I heard a crackling I identified as fire as I slowly sat up and felt a jolt of pain in my ribs. Probably fractured broken if I'm lucky. I stood up cracking my neck and looking around. We were indeed in a heavily wooded area. Judging by the size of the trees they were on Kashyyyk. The pod had luckily missed all the trees on the way to the bottom where they currently were. The heat generated from reentry kept it so hot that just by touching the ground fires started. I walked closer cautiously and peeked inside. The woman groaned sitting up and slowly crawling out. She sat on all fours when she got out sighing. "Well that was eventful." She looked up noticing my hand. She grabbed it as I pulled her up. "Thank you. It appears we are on-" I finished the sentence for her. "Kashyyyk." She looked at me as though taken by complete surprise. "Well…yes. It is good to see that you recovered from the drugs you were administered." I shook my head. "I don't remember this stuff I just…know it. I have no idea who I am or what I'm doing here!" I sighed shaking my head pacing pack and forth as though it would allow me to remember. "You remember…nothing?" She asked baffled as I nodded. Suddenly there was a hiss from nearby as I narrowed my eyes freezing in place. "The fire will attract beasts. We have to move." I whispered as she slowly nodded. "Follow me." I said equally as silent as I began walking the opposite direction.

"How do you know which way to go?" She asked following beside me. "I can…this may sound crazy but I can feel it." She nodded as though something finally made sense. "You certainly show signs of being force sensitive. I can feel your connection is strong as well." She said as though mainly to herself. I hopped over a log that was lying on its side blocking what little of a pathway there was. The woman did the same and followed close once more. "What do you mean force sensitive?" I asked looking over. She thought a moment. "Well, being force sensitive means that you may be able to wield the force as the Jedi do." I nodded to myself. Now the Jedi I know of. "So are you saying I can be a Jedi?" I asked with a chuckle looking ahead. "Well, you may have been." I slowed down as she matched my speed. "I…was a Jedi?" I whispered looking at my hands. She shook her head. "You may have been but I'm not certain. Having total memory loss doesn't help matters though. Even if you were you would probably have to start to train your abilities once more." I peeked over at her. "Why am I here? What's going on?" She looked down. "It's all my fault…" She sighed as I stopped her by grabbing her arm. "What do you mean?" I asked narrowing my eyes. She took a couple steps away and began with her back to me. "Not too long ago Revan had taken on Malak at the Star Forge." I nodded listening carefully. "As they fought I had used my battle meditation." She looked back seeing my confusion. "It is a special ability of mine, if I can concentrate I can influence soldiers on the battlefield increasing their effectiveness almost ten fold." I absorbed the information but shook my head taking a step towards her. "So you go inside of peoples minds and they don't even know it?" She turned seeing the concern in my eyes. "Well…it is for the good of winning the battle." She stumbled verbally. "That's like saying killing off half your troops is fine as long as you win the war." I said shaking my head. "Is it not? That is what armies are trained for, to fight for the greater good." She argued. "The armies are trained to fight not die. It's the commander's job to ensure his troops survive." She looked into my eyes as though examining my mind. "That is what my abilities do you see, ensure they are effective on the battlefield and survive." I stayed silent a moment then nodded. "I can see your logic." She smiled. "You seem to be passionate about people." I nodded and opened my mouth but heard the same hissing from before behind us. "It's following us." I whispered freezing over. "We cannot hope to fight it." She whispered back as I nodded slightly. "It's still observing us, sizing us up. We have to keep going while we can." I muttered as she nodded.

We continued to walk down the seemingly endless trail. "I do." I suddenly piped up. She looked over confused. "I care about people." I stared straight ahead as her eyes looked me over. "You seem to be a good man. I can see you being a Jedi." I smiled to myself looking down. "I…thank you." The comment flattered me. The Jedi were the ultimate defenders of peace and justice in the galaxy. To be told I reminded her of one made me feel embarrassed if anything.

"So how was this your fault?" I asked as she shook her head. "I had used my battle meditation to help the Republic fight the Sith but…" She trailed off as I waited for her to continue. "The Sith overwhelmed them with sheer numbers so I had no choice but to…but to…" She trailed off once more. "What happened?" I asked looking over. "I had to use the force and rip one of the Sith cruisers in half myself I had no choice!" She said urgently as though trying to convince me but herself more so. "So what happened then?" I asked as she sighed. "The general at the head of the fleet saw it and after the Star Forge was destroyed questioned us about it. I told the general I had done it and…I could tell at that moment something bad was bound to happen." I nodded. "A few days later the order was sent out…Jedi were now seen as a danger to the public so the general appealed to the senate, greatly exaggerating mind you! But he appealed his case and due to his grand tale they had approved…" She finished quietly. I looked over at her concentrating on the story. "Approved what?" I asked as she took a moment then looked up. "To gather all force sensitives and 'lock them away'." I looked at her in confusion once more. "What do you mean? They didn't intend to just lock us away?" I asked as she shook her head. "No, they were going to kill us all. They were going to gather us all up on one planet away from everyone and blow us all into space." She hissed. "What about the Sith? Surely there's still more of them out there, what are they doing about them?" I asked as she shook her head. "They are included in the same category as us." She spat as I thought to myself. "So what are we going to do now?" I asked as she stayed quiet for a long time. Finally she answered. "I…don't know…I have no idea what to do." She sighed looking down. I get the feeling she wants to always be in control and have a plan. "Hey, we'll figure something out." I said putting my hand on her shoulder with a smile. She looked over and smiled back. "Thank you." She seemed to really appreciate it.

We continued to walk when she blurted out, "Bastilla." I looked over. "My name is Bastilla Shan." She said looking forward as though flustered. I chuckled. "I'm…I don't know…" I said with a sigh shaking my head. "We'll figure out who you are once we've gathered everyone and figured this out."

We walked into a clearing and stopped, looking around. Something felt…off. "Bastilla!" A man suddenly yelled. We both jumped from surprise but were greeted by a woman who I recognized as a Cathar running towards us. "Juhani!" Bastilla exclaimed with a sigh of relief. "Bastilla! They're going to send an orbital strike! I captured one of the slaves' radios!" The woman hissed. "Wait, who is this man?" she asked seeming cautious. "This is one of us, he was onboard as well." Bastilla explained as Juhani nodded. "I am Juhani." She said as we shook hands. "Hi, I'm…I don't know…but your accent is…hypnotic." I said with a chuckle as she arrowed her eyes. "Why do you mock me?" I shook my head hastily. "No! No! I'm not mocking you! I just…" I tried to word it but we were interrupted by the sound of engines roaring overhead. "We need to leave…quickly." I said looking up with the others at the sky only to be blocked by the tops of the trees. "I agree…I just hope the others find safety." Bastilla said with a sigh. "We'll find them." I said with a reaffirming nod. She looked over. "All of them? You're going to find all of them in a half hour?" I smirked. "Why not? Let's get going."
