Chapter 1: Peter Bunco is a young Jedi in training under the New Jedi Order, led by Luke Skywalker. I am looking forward to working on this story. I hope you view
Ever since Peter Bunco can remember he has always had to fight for what he wanted. He was always hearing about the stories of the Clone Wars and about Anakin Skywalker's transformation to Darth Vader. Peter always looked at that story shaking his head. "There are far more ways to get what you want" said the young 16 year old Jedi to him self. Being trained by Jedi Master, Kyle Katarn(friend of Luke Skywalker), Peter knew very well what the Dark side does, and there were better ways to get what you want than to surrender to the Dark Side. However, the young Jedi's focus was not entirely on getting his way, he had other people on his mind so often, that "selfish" thoughts were rare. Ever since Luke Skywalker became head of the new Jedi council, the Jedi were not as limited to what they could do, like they were in the olden days of Yoda and Windu. One of those once outlawed things that Jedi could not do, but now was ok to do….was fall in love
Peter was in love… with Jane Aminola of Naboo. Peter remembers the day they became friends. She was feeding birds in a park one day, when a duo of robbers appeared and tried to rob her, because she was the daughter of a rich Senator, named Chez Aminola. Luckily for Jane, Peter was near by to rescue her, by cutting off one of the robbers' hands with his lightsaber. The two twelve year olds, quickly became friends as Peter saw how pretty she was. "So who might I thank for saving me?" she asked. Peter, with his face all lit up, replied "Peter Bunco, is my name". "Jane….Jane Aminola, I am Senator Chez Aminola's daughter" replied Jane. Jane's brother, Wes was near by to see the incident. "Jane and Peter sitting in a tree… K I S S I N G!" exclaimed the thirteen year old Wes. Peter then had to go because Master Katarn had called for him, but before he vanished he asked "Will I ever see you again?" "Absolutely" replied Jane.
Peter getting back to working on his ship after daydreaming for almost ten minutes, was alerted by his Jedi friend, Ross Berkin. "Peter, Master Skywalker requests your presence in the council room." "Ok, I will be right there" replied Peter. Ross and Peter walked down 2 or 3 hallways before reaching the council room. Luke Skywalker, called the young Jedi forward. "Peter, I have an assignment for you. The young daughter of Chez Aminola is in need of protection after his murder. I have high expectations for you on this mission. I know of your friendship with Miss Aminola, and I knew that you would protect her with your life. I will warn you though, do not get distracted. I know what it is like to miss a friend for so long, and how distracting their presence can be. Be mindful of your surroundings at all times. Oh… and one more thing, I am sending a young padawan learner to assist you. You are one of our most gifted young Jedi and I think that he will learn from you well. However, if you feel you cannot handle this assignment, I will send young Ross instead." "No your honor, I can handle it quite well. And I will teach this young padawan a thing or two" replied Peter to Master Luke. "Alright then, it's settled. May the Force be with you" returned Luke.
"The young padawan learner that Luke has for you, I think you will like. He is quite gifted, and is a fast learner" said Master Kyle Katarn to his apprentice. "Master Luke holds him in high regard." "I look forward to meeting him, Master" replied Peter. Kyle and Peter walked into a room full of studying padawans ranging from ages 8-10. "Tim, come here please" commanded Master Katarn. The young 10 year old obeyed. "Luke Skywalker has a mission for you. He has been watching you train and study and he thinks you are ready for a taste of what to expect. Timothy Kenoto, meet Peter Bunco, you will be assisting him, and under his command." "Hello Master Peter" said the young padawan. "Uh (laughing), I am not a master yet. I am still a learner myself. Im only 16" returned the young Jedi. "Oh, sorry" replied the slightly embarrassed Tim. Both Katarn and Peter let out a few small laughs before Katarn led them to the hangar where the star ships were.
"R2 are you ready?" called Peter for his droid, R2-K41, who was reassembled by Peter himself after it was shot by a bounty hunter. However, there was another droid who wanted to come along too, the famed R2-D2 also wanted to come along. "R2 you cant just invite yourself along, it isn't proper" said another familiar voice, C-3P0. "Actually 3P0, I need both of you to come along. A mission like this calls for multiple droids" retorted Peter. "Plus my R2 unit could also use some pointers from R2-D2." "As you wish, sir" agreed 3P0".
Luke Skywalker sent Ross Berken out to look for clues as to who killed Senator Aminola and what they want with his daughter. Ross then makes his way to the hangar to see his friend, Peter off. "Good luck kid, you're gonna need it" said Ross, who was a full three years older than Peter. "Luck? There is no such thing. I will use the Force as you should too. Ha ha!" replied Peter in a playful tone. "Got me! Good one kid. See you on the flip side and may the Force be with you" said Ross. "And to you" replied Peter. Ross stood back as the space craft flew out of the temple and into the sky.
On a space station just outside of the atmosphere on the planet Courasaunt, a young Jedi, meets his client. "I assume, that you have successfully taken out the Senator" said a bounty hunter to the Jedi. "Yes, he is dead. Now when do you want me to try to get his daughter?" replied the Jedi. "Wait a couple days… the new Jedi order will be high on our tails within a few hours. Hide yourself and wait for further orders. Do not do anything without my permission, or I will deduct from your pay" commanded the bounty hunter. "I understand sir. I will wait, patiently" replied the young, and apparently dark Jedi.
Naboo was far more beautiful than Peter could remember. He took some time to look around at the scenery, before going to meet the late Senator's daughter. Her hand maiden, appeared first making sure the Jedi had come, then motioned for her to come out. When she saw who her protector was, she ran up and hugged him in delight. "Peter, it's been months since you last wrote, I was afraid something had happened to you." "No. I am sorry for worrying you, my friend. I have just been under intense training, and just couldn't find any time to write you a good quality letter. I will try to do better next time" replied Peter. Peter, Tim, Jane, her hand maiden, and the three droids quickly made their way to Jane's home. "I don't mean to pry, but what happened to Wes?" asked Peter. "Wes has been gone for some time now. He went looking for answers to Papa's death, but nothing so far. Not even a letter. Mother is worried sick about him. She is with a doctor right now, but even if she were here, I would still need your protection. My mother isn't well." "I am so sorry to hear that" replied Peter with a bit of sadness for his friend. "Speaking of prying, who is this little guy?" she asked walking up to Tim. "My name is Tim, I am a padawan learner being trained by Mara Jade Skywalker, or as we padawans call her, Master Jade" replied Tim to Jane's question. Jane and Peter began to laugh.
Later that night, Peter went out on the outside balcony to think and to stand watch, however he is soon greeted by Jane. "Peter, I have really missed you. I think about you and how you saved me from the robbers, and how you looked at me when you saw who you rescued. I think about it everyday. It doesn't seem like it was four years ago" said Jane. "I know, I have thought about you every time I could get the chance as well. I feel so happy when I read the letters you wrote to me" replied Peter. "When are you going to admit to yourself that you love me?" teased Jane. However, Peter looked at her, very seriously and said, "I already have, Jane". Jane was surprised. "Im sorry, I should not have said that" said Peter. "Don't apologize for something that comes from the heart, Peter. I would rather you have said that, than lie to me. I honestly feel the same way" returned Jane. Jane then walks to Peter and gives him a kiss. "Whoa! That was awesome…" says Peter as he kisses her back. However, the happy reunion would have to be kept out of the way. If Peter rushed into a relationship with Jane during this mission, it could make not only him vulnerable, but Jane, and Tim as well. Both realized, that this would have to wait.
Ross Berken, reports to master Skywalker a couple of days later with a lead on the killer. "The Senator had lightsaber cuts on his stomach and chest when he was found. I am not sure whether to think it was a Jedi or someone with a stolen lightsaber" reports Ross. "Look into it further, we will let you know if we find out anything else" replied Master Skywalker. "I will be waiting for my informants to bring me some information that will help you." "Yes, Master" Ross says right before the hologram is turned off. "This is a very mysterious case, Luke. I hope Peter will remember what I taught him" said Kyle Katarn. "Is it bad that I worry for a Jedi, that I have trained myself?" "No, it is normal. I remember when I trained my son, Ben. I worried about him for days. Your apprentice is no different than my son, I know he will succeed" replied a confident Skywalker.
Chapter 2 will come soon. I am curious to know what you all think and how I will continue and eventually end this story. Leave a review, if you would. Thanks,
