Jake could be seen walking around the streets of Coruscant with a very worn
out look on his face. He saw a huge crowd surrounding two men nearly a few
yards away from him, so he decided to walk over and see what all of the
commotion was about.
Man: Here ye, here ye, I will give 2000 credits to anyone who can withstand a sword fight for 5 minutes with me.
Jake was interested to see this, however, it was a few minutes before anyone worked up the courage to fight this man. Eventually, a man from the side drew up one of the extra swords from the bucket and began dueling with this confident man of arrogance. However, he was no match for this man, for as soon as the helpless man was to blink, this fighter would be quick to make a move and draw first blood on his opponent.
Man: Anyone else? Anyone else willing to stand up to Jayson? Anyone else want to try their luck at 2000 republic credits?
Jake was eager to step up. But figured, what the hell, why not.
Jake: I will.
Jake stepped through the loud crowd and drew up a sword from the bucket.
Jayson: Alright then, lets see how long you last. Draw your sword. We fight to first blood. Ready? 1... 2...
Just then, before he even got to three, Jayson made a move, but using the force, Jake was quick to deflect it.
Jake: I wasn't aware you had to cheat to win. Maybe you're not as good as we all thought.
Jayson again made a move trying to cut the arm of Jake as the crowd cheered on, but Jake could read his every move. Eventually, five minutes past, but Jayson wouldn't give up the money, he kept trying to fight Jake. Jake barely moved the whole fight.
Jayson: You're good. Where did you learn to fight?
Jake: You know... around.
Jake tried to refuse to let out the fact that he was training to become a Jedi.
Jayson: Yes well, no matter, if you can go another five minutes with me, I will give you the credits as I promised. Draw your sword again.
The two started to duel again, but Jayson seemed to come back tougher than before. With one minute left to go, despite the fact that Jake was not trying at all, Jayson managed to cut the arm of Jake. Jake didn't let out a cry or anything, but Jayson was hyperventilating quite a bit.
Jayson: Well there you have it, I truly am the greatest swordsman in all of lower Coruscant.
Jake gave a mild smirk. Jayson started poking at the wound on Jake's arm.
Jayson: You might want to get that fixed buddy, haha.
Jayson kept doing this until Jake lost it. Jake then drew out his lightsaber and cut the blade in two. Everyone around him gasped and ran away in fear. Jayson eventually took the credits and ran away, but Jake chased after him. Through the lower city and the ally ways of Coruscant they went. Jayson made his way to the swoop track and ran in to the racers room.
Operator: Excuse me, what business do you have here.
Jake: I need to talk to the man that just ran in there.
Operator: I'm sorry you can't do that, that room is exclusively for racers.
Jake: Well how can I get in there, I need to talk to that man.
Operator: Well, you need to register as a racer, only then you can go in that room.
Jake gave a huge sigh and shook his head.
Jake: Where can I sign up.
Operator: Well, with me of course. Would you like to sign up.
Jake: Yes.
Operator: What is your name?
Jake: Jake Malre.
Operator: What is your occupation?
Jake gave and abrupt cough.
Jake: Well, um... err....
Jake stumbled over his words for he did not want to reveal that he was a Jedi, although just five minutes before he had ignited his lightsaber in public.
Operator: Unemployed?
Jake: Err... yes, unemployed.
Operator: Don't worry, unemployment isn't anything to be ashamed of.
Jake: Right.
Admiral Lyger had guards by his side as well as all over the room, it would have been impossible for Luke to make a move.
Admiral Lyger: Well Master Skywalker, first I would just like to say I'm honored to meet you.
Lyger put out his hand, but Luke refused to shake it.
Lyger: Well, I see you're not one for welcomes. Would you mind telling me what you were doing in our base?
Luke stayed silent, for he didn't know what to say.
Lyger: I see, you wanted to break in and find out any things we are planning to do, am I right?
Luke: Not at all, this was my father's former base, I came here to simply take back any remnants of my father and bring them to my Academy.
Lyger: Liar! I know why you were here. Vader hasn't been at this base in 15 years, what could possibly still be here?
Luke: I sensed something was here, something of dark power. Was I only sensing your foul stench Admiral Lyger?
Lyger: Clever Master Skywalker, clever. Guards, put him in the torture cell. If he will refuse to answer anything, maybe some time in the cell will help.
Luke: You are a fool Lyger, you think a little torture will make me say anything?
Lyger: No Master Skywalker, not a little torture, a lot of torture. And its ADMIRAL Lyger.
Jake was shot with excitement, as he was now eligible for racing, something he had always wanted to do.
Operator: Alright, you are registered; you are now allowed to enter.
Jake: Thank you very much.
Jake walked past the Operator's desk in the racer's lounge where he saw Jayson.
Jayson: You! You, stay away from me, I'm not giving you these credits, just get away from me.
Jake: I don't....
But it was too late, the announcers called Jayson to his race, so Jake was forced to do nothing but sit in the lounge until Jayson came back. However, he watched Jayson race, and it was like something he had never seen before. Jayson's racing was incredible. His ability to dodge the obstacles in his way were great, his speed was amazing. Jake thought that Jayson could possibly be force sensitive. He perused the possibilities and came to the conclusion that the force was coursing through Jayson. Jayson eventually came back, but before Jake could say anything...
Race Coordinator: Jake Malre? You are up!
Jake didn't know what to do, should he race or should he stay back. Jake decided to get up and race.
Jake: Yes, I'm here.
Jake stepped on to the track and into his swoop, he looked at all of the buttons in confusion. The light turned green but his swoop would not move. All of the racers as well as the spectators started to laugh at him. Jake became upset and used the force to artificially speed up the swoop, crashing through the obstacles, he made satisfactory time. He knew he would be back and he would some day be a great swoop racer. Jake got back to the lounge to see Jayson sipping a drink at the bar. Jake sat down next to him. Jayson let out a sigh.
Jayson: Alright, you've been following me around all day, if you want to kill me Jedi, then go ahead.
Jake: Look, just listen to me. I don't want to hurt you, I want to talk to you.
Jayson: Look, just take the credits, I don't care about it.
Jake: Damn it, just listen to what I have to say, alright?!
Jayson: Go ahead.
Jake: Since we met at the dueling ring, I have been studying your actions, your swordsmanship, your concentration during your swoop run. Heh, even when I was chasing you, you tried every trick you knew to get rid of me. Some of them almost worked. I've ran through all of the possibilities and I have come to one conclusion.
Jayson: What?
Jake: The Force is coursing through you just as it is me, it is doing amazing things to you. You may think I'm crazy, what ever, but I want you to join the Jedi Academy.
Jayson: You're kidding me right? Me, a Jedi? I don't think so.
Jake: Look, it might not be glamorous, you might not be famous, but the recognition and respect you can get if deserved was enough of a reason for me to become a Jedi. Let me also add, we are not soldiers, we are not enforcers, we are peace keepers. We prevent evil, namely, the Sith, from destroying the galaxy.
Jayson: Would I get a lightsaber?
Jake: Of course, but that's not what's important. Fighting for good and destroying the evils of the galaxy are what's important. We are keepers of the peace.
Jayson: Well, it seems like it would be cool. But I still don't know.
Jake: Fine, I will give you a few minutes to think about it.
Jayson questioned whether or not he should join with Jake. He considered all the possibilities of joining the Jedi as well as rejecting Jake's offer, he was torn at the seams, he didn't know what to say.
Jayson: I really still don't know.
Jake: Alright, how about this. I will take you to my master, he will examine you and decide if you are truly as powerful as I think you are, and if you are, we will take you back to the Jedi Academy. Once we are at the Academy, the owner and leader, Luke Skywalker, will talk to you about being a Jedi. If you decide its not for you, then we will let you return to Coruscant.
Jayson: Alright, I think that's fair.
Jake: If we do go back to the Academy, lets just hope you make the right choice.
Man: Here ye, here ye, I will give 2000 credits to anyone who can withstand a sword fight for 5 minutes with me.
