Welcome back to "Lightning"! I am excited to see where this story goes, so without further ado, let's begin! :)

PS: I only own the title character, Abigail, and Pandemonium. Everything else is the property of Disney. :)

Pandemonium

In a world in the Outer Rim called Ladro, a man by the name of Darth Pandemonium was gathering his ideas.

Pandemonium was a Sith Lord, or an evil Jedi, however you want to say it. He had destroyed his master, Darth Vader, in an epic clash on the planet of Coruscant, where he had made Vader fall from a skyscraper.

Now, Pandemonium realized that he needed a new apprentice, as he could never complete his evil plans without the assistance of an apprentice. So, he went to Ladro, and used its supercomputers to look through every Force-sensitive being alive, as this was during the age of the Galactic Empire.

It had taken three long days of staring at a computer screen, but, on the third day, his yellow eyes found it.

"Guys! I have found my apprentice."

The computers showed a boy with dark hair, a freckley face, and blue eyes.

His name was Joe.


Joe

Now, before I tell you what this boy's destiny was, let's look at his past.

Joe was a Jedi Knight, who had survived both the Clone Wars, and the Great Jedi Purge, as he had used both the Force AND his blue Lightsaber to deflect the blaster bolts set on him by Captain Rex. He had run off back to the planet of Dantooine, where his family lived. There was no more Jedi Order, meaning he could have as many attachments as he wanted now.

Now, his destiny. His destiny was...well, it's too horrible to describe. Let's just say that he will become the title character, okay?

Anyhow, Joe was working on his model of a Jedi Starfighter when he was called up for dinner by his brother, the way he always was.

"Alright Newton. I'm coming!" was what he would always reply with. And today was no different.

Joe ran up into the family dining room, which was, according to his parents, the most sacred place in the house, as it was where your food came from.

Today, the meal was Dantooine cane syrup. Joe's favorite.

He sat down, and started eating, as his mother started talking:

"So, Joe, how is the Jedi stuff going?"

"Mom, you know I don't like talking about that much anymore."

"Who knows? The Jedi Order might return one day, and I would be proud to see you be the first in the New Jedi Order."

"Well, I'd also be proud. But, at the rate this is going, it will never reawaken."

"Never give up hope, Joe. No matter how dark things seem."

Little did Joe know that this would be the final lesson his family would teach him.

Well, guys, I had to do some research on Dantooine via Wookiepedia for information, so I hope I got it accurate. Trust me, a LOT is to come in "Lightning", including an epic scene next chapter. Hope you enjoyed, and be sure to review, follow, and favorite! (If you want to, of course.) See you next time! Bye!
