The Last Stand of the Jedi
Chapter 1: Escape
Date: 19bby
"Get those Jedi! No Jedi is to be left alive by order of Lord Vader!" I heard a Clone trooper shout. What was going on? I wondered I thought the clones were on our side! I was running down a hallway with some of my Youngling friends while blaster fire was raining down on us. We were all too inexperienced to fight them off. I could feel a few dying around me but I never stopped running. Suddenly I felt a rocket fly by my head as it missed me by a few inches, then I had an idea, I used the smoke caused by the rocket and made a sharp left in a different hallway. I had a second to catch my breath but i had to keep moving.
I started to make my way to one of the landing platforms of the temple, to my dismay there was a squad of clones guarding it. I was about to give up and find another way out when I saw a speeder approach the landing zone. Senator Organa came out and began talking to the clone commander. I saw the commander point his blaster at Organa and he started to leave but, all of a sudden a fellow youngling appeared as if from nowhere and started attacking the clones. I saw my chance instantly and wasted no time in running toward senator Organa's speeder. The youngling cut down a few clone but was killed after a short time. I however was able to stow away on the Senator's speeder while this was going on. The senator saw but didn't say anything until we were clear of the Jedi temple. The senator spoke first: "Are you alright?" he said. "A little shaken up but I will pull through." I replied. "You're lucky you made it. What's your name youngling?" He asked. "I'm Sam Fishel."
After a while of flying we came to Organa's star ship. "Where are we going sir?" I asked him. "We are going to see if we find any Jedi before they run into this trap. I found a coded signal it says for all Jedi to return to Corusant, it says the War's over." He spoke to his captain, "Antilles! Prepare for take-off." As we left I could still see the Jedi Temple in flames.
After flying for what seemed like days we found our first Jedi. The grand master himself, Yoda .
Not long after we found Yoda, Senator Organa received a distress call from Obi Wan Kenobi. We sent him our coordinates and he found us. Shortly after, I heard the three of them discussing the situation.
"How many other Jedi have managed to survive?" Obi Wan asked.
"Heard from no one, have we", replied Yoda.
"We received a coded message of a retreat from Corusant. It requests all Jedi to return to Corusant. It says the war is over." Said, Organa.
"Well then we must go back! If any Jedi go back to Corusant they will fall into this trap and be killed", exclaimed Obi Wan.
"Agree, I do", said Yoda. "Recalibrate the signal we must."
And just like that, we were on our back to Corusant. As we left hyperspace and approached Corusant, Senator Organa received a transmission from the Senate requesting he attend an emergency meeting. "Could be a trap", he said after the transmission ended.
"I don't think so", said Obi Wan. 'Palpatine cannot control the galaxy without keeping the Senate intact."
"Masters, is there anything I can do to help you", I asked.
"Hope you can, by staying here. Safe you will be", insisted Yoda.
"But master I realize I can't help you that much in decoding the message of retreat. But the Senator might need protection. Can I help there", I asked.
"No, Sam. It's too dangerous. We are already lucky enough to have one youngling survive", answered Obi Wan. "You need to stay here." I reluctantly agreed.
After we landed on Corusant I watched on the holonet Palpatine give his declaration of a new empire speech. He proclaimed that Jedis were now enemies of the republic and they would now be hunted down and killed. "Someone has to stop this man", I thought.
Days later Yoda and Obi Wan, as well as Padme Amadala all went to Polis Masa after Yoda's failed attempt to kill Palpatine. And Obi Wan came back with lots of burns on his Jedi tunic and bruises on his face.
I asked Obi Wan what happened but all he said was he did not want to talk about it. I watched Padme give birth to her twin babies. She named them Luke and Liea. Unfortunately, she died shortly after.
Back on Senator Organa's ship we discussed who would care for the children. "I will take the girl. My wife and I had always considered adopting a girl.
"What about the boy", Obi Wan asked.
"To Tatoine, send him. Family he has there", Yoda answered.
"But what about me? I want to complete my Jedi training. I won't just sit back and let this happen."
"Come with me you shall Sam. An isolated planet I have found. Safe we will be there. Finish your training, I will", said Yoda.
I have the next chapter already done if people enjoy this story i will post it ASAP
