Chapter One
Jedi Fun!
A small boombox was in a large meeting room, playing the classic song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Rick, a young man of age 20, stood in front of five Storm Troopers in full armor, all of them dancing to it. They all began to laugh during the middle of the dance, a trooper putting a hand on his stomach spoke.
"Good God, Rick.... why do we even do this? It's so stupid, it's.... it's...."
Another Trooper completed the sentence with a laugh.
"Funny?"
Rick laughed, putting his hands behind his head. He was a handsome young man with tanned skin. His hair was only an inch long and was black. His eyes were a light blue, brighter then usual. His clothes where, of course, of a Jedi's, yet with his own mix. He wore a long, black coat, and a grey vest under it, a grey long-sleeved shirt under that, yet the sleeves of that shirt seemed like they were burnt off. So, under the sleeves of his coat, he wrapped a long piece of cloth up his arms. His pants were made out of a soft, yet very strong, fabric, and were also grey. He wore a very wide belt across his waist, which was the color of a very dark grey, which matched his boots, which came up to his knees under the legs of his pants.
He gave a laugh.
"Funny? It's all we can really DO here!"
Another Trooper took his helmet off, the music still playing in the back.
"Yeah... I know that it's important to make sure this place is safe and all, but they would have to bring several dozen fleets of warships to take Coruscant!"
Rick nodded... it was true, with the war going on, it was very unlikely that the Separatists would attack. And, even if they did, they would know about it very early on. After all, it IS hard to had a fleet of that size coming at once.
"Well... we best get used to it here, then, since we won't go in the front lines any time soon."
Two of the Troopers gave a sigh as the others nodded. They suddenly grew tense and saluted at his direction. Rick gave a chuckle, smiling.
Well, only one reason why they would salute like that...
He turned and saw a Commander Trooper walking in with his helmet on. He stopped behind Rick and looked around at the Troopers.
"Well... quite an interesting..... dance you all were doing..."
The Troopers that had their helmets still on where lucky, since the Commander couldn't see their smiles... but the Troopers which did not struggled to keep a straight face. The only one who still was relaxed was Rick, who put his hands behind his head as the Commander asked a question.
"Why aren't you all at your posts? For all you know, spies could come in, or worse, assassins that want to kill Chancellor Palpatine, who YOU were charged with protecting, Rick."
Rick just shrugged, his hands on the back of his head.
"Meh... there's another Jedi there when I left, keeping watch... I would have known if he was in trouble anyway, you know..."
The Commander gave a sigh, shaking his head.
"Please, sir... I may not be able to order you, Rick... but please don't pull my men out of their posts. Now, Soldiers!"
All of the Troopers gave a 'hut!' when the Commander called them.
"Go back to your posts! I don't expect you all to leave again till it's your break or when you change shifts!"
The Troopers marched out of the room, the Commander following them to make sure that they were going back. Rick shook his head with a chuckle, raising his palm to the boombox. It flew in to his hand perfectly from him using the Force. He then turned it off... what was the point of it on if the soldiers where around?
"Damn... this sucks..."
He slunk it behind his back, walking out of the meeting room. He walked down a hallway, looking around.
Hmmm... it's emptier then usual... usually, there's a butler, or a droid... or a maid-
He then bumped into something, making him stumble back a step. He looked and saw that a maid had stepped out of a room, and he had walked into her and made her fall on her butt.
"Oh! I'm sorry... are you alright?"
He went over to her and held his hand out to her.... then blushed a bit when he saw what she looked like...
She was about his age, and was very cute. Her hair was to her neck and was red, and her eyes were a beautiful violet... though... that wasn't the main thing that made him blush... her breasts where DD sized, probably even bigger, which was strange, since maids usually weren't so.... busty.
She grabbed his hand and slowly stood up.
"Oh... thank you, sir..."
He began to blush, giving a bow to Rick.
"I'm so sorry, sir... but... I'm very new here, I started today-"
Rick hide a smile.
That's why I haven't seen her before... it sucks to be a Jedi sometimes, though...
"-And... weeeeell.... I'm... ummm.... lost..."
He chuckled, showing a smile. He shifted his arm that was holding the boombox.
"Sure thing. I understand how you feel. I kept on getting lost the first month I was here Hell, I even managed to get to the hanger bay without taking any stairs or elevator Don't ask me how, I don't have a clue."
The maid gave a giggle from that, bring a hand to her mouth. Rick eye twitched.
O.k.... WHY can't Jedi's have girlfriends again!? She's so freaking cute! And such wonderful... whew
"O.k, just head down this hall and go up the elevator to the top floor. When the door of the elevator opens, it should lead you to the hallway of the Chancellor's office. Only that elevator leads to the top floor, figured you should know that, too..."
The maid gave a quick bow, her hands in front of her.
"Thank you, Jedi sir..."
Rick blushed a bit, scratching the back of his head, watching her jog past him. He blinked.
Damn, what an ass!
He chuckled to himself, continuing down the hallway...
**A few hours later...**
Rick was on top of the building, watching the sun set, as flying cars flew past. Some of the driver gave a second look at him, since you don't see a guy on top of a building as high as the one he was on. He sighed, staring down at his hand, which held his lightsaber. The handle was black, with some white on it. He stared blankly at it, thinking to himself.
... A jedi must protect the people... that, I do easily... but...
He closed his eyes.
No parents.... no family... no one to love you... I was unlucky, being an orphan...
Which was true. He was found as an infant in the swamps of the planet Dagobah by Jedi Master Yoda, who had sensed a great disturbance in the Force from the planet, as he was told... since then, Yoda had looked over him and trained him, along with the other Masters... yet, the other Masters were unsure of what he was... they had tested his blood, and it was unlike any other they have seen, not matching any other blood types.
And... my powers...
He sighed, laying back on the roof, staring off into the sky.
... I hate holding back my powers... I feel so... restricted... so... wrong...
**Ten Years ago...**
Rick was a young teen, 11 years old. He wore young jedi robes, like any other student would. He was in a forest on Tatooine, in a clearing in the middle of it. He rolled out of the way of a giant boulder that was sent flying at him.
"No, Rick! Control it, you must! Use the Force, feel it run through you to conquer this trial."
Yoda was sitting on a branch, watching him and controlling the boulder's path. Rick groaned, sliding under it as it came again.
"Master Yoda! I can't! I'm sorry, but I am just not ready for th- gah!"
He rolled to his right, avoiding the boulder again. Yoda sighed.
"In yourself, you must believe! Not enough training, you have had!"
He waved his hand, tossing the boulder to the side like it was nothing.
"Maybe you not want to be a Jedi? Will increase the rate to become one, this will."
Rick panted, glad that it was over... yet...
"Master Yoda... sir... I DO want to be a Jedi... and you say that I don't know my own limits... yet, I DO. I know my own strengths and weaknesses, and how far I can go... this is beyond me, sir..."
Yoda stared down at him, thinking to himself. Rick continued, since he had the chance to.
"I... I know I am not like the other students... but... that doesn't mean I am any different in my skills! There are many other students who have a better control over the Force then I do-"
Yoda suddenly began to laugh, making Rick start.
"M-Master?"
Yoda lifted his hands in the air.
"Rick, that's a lie, I see. Show your truth strength, you must!"
Suddenly, over a dozen giant boulders came up from the ground, circling around Rick. He gulped.
"M-Master! Please! I'm not holding back!"
The boulders suddenly all shot at him... he recoiled, seeing no way to escape...
**Present**
Rick jumped a bit, hearing an alarm. He blinked, thinking.
"Wait... that's... not a alarm test... CRAP!!!"
He jumped to his feet and off of the roof. He didn't go far, using the force to go in the window that was on the top floor. He rolled to a stop, looking around.
"Chancellor Palpatine!"
He saw a woman in a pink, skin tight armored suit, with a helmet over her head with A-sized breasts. There were shoulder pads on her shoulders, and the helmet was like one large piece of mirrored glass, but was yellow. She held a laser rifle, pointing it close to Chancellor Palpatine. She quickly turned to Rick, who was scowling on his knee.
"Jedi! Stay away! I have a job to do, and I must do it! Take a step, and I will blow the Chancellor's head off!"
End of Chapter One...
