Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been updating this often as I should! I'm really trying my best to get in it when I can. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Just to get some things straight, I've decided to follow the events of Star Wars Episode 6. Also, sort of out of request, a new character is making an appearance as well.
Also, whoever was cowardly enough to send the 'Anonymous' review, I honestly could care less if you think I'm writing this story all wrong by using different worlds. If you don't like this story and how I do it, then don't read it. Simple as that. If you do have something to say, make it CC or don't bother saying it at all.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Kingdom Hearts characters, Star Wars character, Stitch, or Pikachu. They belong to their original owners. Matt is my OC.
"Master Yoda?" Stitch and Pikachu asked simultaneously. They each scratched their heads in confusion.
Matt immediately bowed down in respect towards the Master before him. "Let me just say…it's an honor sir." He then asked his friends to do the same, which they did awkwardly.
"Yes, yes," Master Yoda replied. "An honor to meet a Keyblade warrior as well it is. Not seen one for really, really long time."
"You've seen the Keyblade before?" Matt asked.
"Yes. The warrior came from a far off place. Knew he was not of this galaxy I did. Helped destroy a dark force as well he did."
"Oh…"
"Tell me strangers…why come here you have?"
"Oh, right." Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu then went on to explain their story to Master Yoda and their student. It included flying through a wormhole before ending up on the planet Dagobah.
"Hmm…an interesting development this is…" Master Yoda exclaimed.
"You said you were chased by ships?" The stranger asked. "Could they have been Imperial Cruisers, Master?"
"Perhaps…but the fact these three are still here is a good thing to say the least."
"Why's that?" Pikachu asked. "Have the Heartless been a problem here?"
"Wait a minute…," Matt added in. He knew that because Yoda was on this planet, then that meant that the Empire was in power. "Is that true?"
"For the past few months," the student replied. "These dark creatures have been appearing on several planets in our galaxy. As far as we know, the Empire has been using them as well."
"Indeed," Master Yoda added in. "The Dark side is growing stronger with each passing minute. Much despair and anguish I feel."
"Uh oh," Stitch piped up.
"It has to be the Heartless!" Matt yelled. "What else could do that? We've got to stop them!"
"Patience!" Master Yoda commanded. "Foolish it is to rush into battle blinded. Prepared you must be."
"Prepared?" Matt asked. "What do you mean by that?"
Master Yoda closed his eyes for a moment. "A truth there is you three must know. My time is running short. Before long, there will nothing I can do to assist you all. I sense the Force is strong within all three of you. Still, little training I have for you that will help you in your quest."
"Training?" Stitch asked.
"Oh boy!" Pikachu cheered. "When do we start?"
"Patience!" Master Yoda said again. "Tomorrow, teach you I will the skills you need. For now, I must rest."
"Alright," Matt replied. "I guess we can wait for now."
The student then led the trio out of the room so Master Yoda could rest some more. They all sat down by the fire and rested for a little bit.
"Oh yeah!" Matt spoke up. "We never did your name."
"Eh!" Stitch added. "Whosa are you?"
"How rude of me!" The stranger finally decided to lower her hood, revealing her face for the first time. She had blue eyes, orange skin, and a strange headdress that she wore on her head. "My name is Ahsoka Tano. I'm sorry I couldn't have done it earlier."
Matt narrowed his brow. He didn't recognize this girl, but knew she must have been a Jedi if she was a student under Yoda.
"That's ok," he said. "My name is Matt. These are Stitch and Pikachu, they're really good friends of mine."
"Interesting," Ahsoka replied. "I've never seen creatures like you two before. What planets are you from?"
Stitch and Pikachu then went on to explain about what they were. Matt also told his story as to how he was looking for his friend, Laura. He asked Ahsoka if she'd seen Laura or any of the others, but she said she hadn't.
"I'm really sorry," she said. "I wish I could be more of help. It sounds like you three have been to a lot of places."
"We sure have," Matt replied. "But what about you, though? How did you end up here."
Ahsoka then got really quiet. Her eyes lowered to the ground. "Well…you see…the Empire wasn't always in control. The Jedi Order did a great job at protecting the galaxy from any forces that would disturb the peace."
She continued. "I remember when I first became a Padawan, a Jedi apprentice. It was right when the Clone Wars began."
"The Clone Wars?" Pikachu asked.
"Yes. It was a great conflict that divided the galaxy in half. I fought hard alongside my master for three long years…before it all ended."
"What happened?" Matt asked. He already knew the answer, but he wanted to know how she'd survived.
Ahsoka shook her head. "I don't know all the details. I just remember that I was out on a scouting mission deep on the outer rims. Suddenly, I was ordered to return to the Jedi Temple on Corsucant. However, before I could get there, I received a message from Master Yoda to flee as far away as I could. I was then to go into hiding for some time and not use my Jedi powers in the open again."
"How did you get here then?" Pikachu asked.
"While I was hiding, I somehow was visited by a ghost in my dreams. He looked really familiar, but he didn't say his name. He just told me to go to the planet Dagobah because that was where Master Yoda was. Ever since, I've been training with him until another Jedi arrives to meet with us."
"What's his name?" Matt asked.
"His name is Luke," Ahsoka replied. "Luke Skywalker."
"Oh…sweet…" Matt couldn't believe it. He was going to meet the famous hero of the Star Wars saga! He grinned to himself at the thought.
"What do wesa do now?" Stitch asked.
"Well, we should rest…," Ahsoka replied. "If I know the Master, you're going to need to be ready tomorrow for what he has in store for you…" She then smiled in a way that made the trio gulp.
The next day, Master Yoda woke Matt up alone bright and early.
"Please Keyblade warrior," he beckonded. "Come with me."
"Uh…ok," Matt replied with a yawn. He followed the Jedi out of the hut and into the forest. "Aren't you worried about anything attacking us, sir?"
Master Yoda shook his head. "Fear not, young warrior. Be attacked we will not. You need not worry yourself."
"Ok…if you say so…"
The two walked on for several more minutes without saying a word to one another before the Master suddenly stopped.
"Now then," he began. "Know well of your mission I do. Also know of why you are partaking on this journey as well, are you not?"
Matt closed his eyes. "The Organization…they took someone from my world. Someone very close to me…"
"Guility you feel over it, hmm?"
"Yes…" Matt knew he couldn't hide his feelings from the Master. "The only reason they did it was because of me. Who knows what may be happening to her right now…?"
Master Yoda nodded. "See I do. Fear of losing her I sense in you."
"If anything were to happen to her," Matt continued. "I don't know if I could forgive myself."
"Disregard that fear you must. It can be used against you…lead you to the dark side."
"What?" Matt asked. "I wouldn't do that. I'm no Darth Vader…" He then slapped himself. "Oh…crap…"
"Hmm…interesting…" The Master implied. "Know of the events that have transpired in the galaxy you do?"
"Yeah. I know…I know…I'm supposed to keep balance and stuff."
"Indeed you should," Master Yoda added. "But that is why you're here. To learn and to restore balance. Your duty as a Keyblader it is."
Matt slowly smiled and nodded his head in response. "Yeah…I guess you're right. So…what is it that you have to teach me?"
When Matt and Master Yoda were through, they returned to find the others waiting for them. On the walk back though, the Master seemed to grow weaker with each step. Eventually, Matt had to carry him on his back.
"Oh no…," Ahsoka replied. "Master? What's wrong? Are you OK?"
"Fine I am," he replied. "Rest I need."
The group brought Yoda inside and placed him on his bed. He then looked a little more peaceful.
"Is there anything we can do for you Master?" Ahsoka asked.
"As a matter of fact," Yoda replied. "Would you all go and bring him to me?"
"Bring who?" Matt asked.
"Luke. He is here…"
Yeah, I know...not a whole lot in terms of action, but we're getting there! I hope everyone is ok with Ahsoka making an appearance even though we don't know her true fate. And yes, she does know that Anakin went to the dark side.
What did Master Yoda teach Matt? Can he and the others help Luke save the Galaxy? Find out soon!
Peace out,
Biz
