The New Star Wars 1 : A Tale of Three Jedi
Two young Jedi namely Espra and Espri Gumak were separated from each other due to a tragedy. They were on vacation at Naboo when Espra lost sight of his brother. He searched everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. Naboo was quite a large planet. Espri was adopted by Naboo locals while Espra went back with his Master, them thinking that Espri had already died. Meanwhile, Espri was so angry with his brother because he thought Espra didn't care about him. He swore on his own brother and on all the Jedi that he would meet in the future that he would kill them with his lightsaber.
At the same time, there was a young girl named Koro Samak living on the same planet of Naboo. In a twist of fate, Espri meets Koro, and they both fall in love with each other.
What Espri didn't know about Koro – she was also a Jedi in Coruscant. She traveled back and forth from Naboo to Coruscant to get to her job. In short, Koro Samak had two identities. But Koro didn't care. She juggled her priorities with Espri and being a Jedi.
When Koro discovered Espri's hatred for the Jedi, she became worried. What if he discovers her other identity? He might leave her. Or even kill her! Koro loved him so much that she tried her best to keep this secret from him.
Koro also had a friend back at Coruscant which was really Espri's brother. But she didn't know this because what Espra told her was "My brother is already dead." They were the best of friends. What Espra didn't know was that Koro was under a state of crisis – to continue her relationship with Espri or not.
One night, as Koro once again prepared for another trip back to Coruscant, she got her purple lightsaber and practiced with it. What she didn't realize was that Espri was peeping at her from her bedroom window.
Espri was shocked at what he had seen. But he loved Koro and he did not want to kill her. But he remembered what he had swore on. He unsheathed his lightsaber and barged into Koro's room.
Koro, in her surprise, dropped her lightsaber to the ground. She begged and pleaded to Espri to spare her life. She also reminded him that she loved him so much.
Espri retreated because he didn't want to kill Koro. But someone would whisper to his ear, "Kill her! Kill her!" Then he would yell at himself "No!"
Espri finally decided and challenged Koro to a duel. Koro agreed hesitantly, but she had to do it to save herself.
It was a long and tedious fight. Meanwhile, Espra was getting worried. He was waiting for Koro at his residence and he expected that at this time, Koro would already be arriving. So, he decided to go and fetch Koro himself.
While fighting, Koro decided to end her relationship with Espri. "I love you, Espri. But I've decided to let you go. It's no use, Espri," a tear ran down her face. For her, it was no use loving this madman who was angry at the Jedi. Because of too much exhaustion, she fell down at Espri's feet.
Espra arrived just in time to see what had happened. He then looked up and gazed up at his long-lost brother. "Espri? You're alive?" he was aghast.
Espri's eyes turned red. "YOU!" he yelled. "You left me here all alone! I hate you! I swear on you! I – Aaahh…"
"I'm sorry, Espri. I love you. You're my brother. But because of what you've just done, you have to accept the consequence," Espra had cut off Espri's arm with his lightsaber. "From now on I consider you as my worst enemy. And all of you Jedi!" he turned and ran away.
Espra then rushed to Koro. "Are you alright?" he said.
"Take me away from this place, Espra. I want to start a new life in Coruscant," Koro fainted.
Espra picked up the unconscious Koro and rushed to his ship. They left for Coruscant.
Meanwhile, the now evil Espri Gumak had finally reached Mustafar. He installed an artificial arm for himself and threw away his green lightsaber. He now made for himself a red lightsaber, which was the color of the Sith. He didn't want to conquer the galaxy or anything just as the previous Sith Lords have ever dreamed of. All he wanted was revenge on all the Jedi, especially Espra and Koro.
"I HATE YOU ALL!" he yelled. He was the only person in Mustafar.
Koro Samak had finally recovered from unconsciousness.
"Ah, you're finally awake, Koro," Espra relaxed.
"Oh… Espra, is Espri… is he your brother? I thought he was dead," Koro asked curiously.
"I thought that he had already died. And when I saw him in Naboo, I recognized that face. He is my brother," a tear fell from Espra's eye.
Koro wiped it away. "What's important is that we're safe at the moment. We can look for him later and fight him later on…" Koro suggested.
"You're right," Espra agreed.
Back in Mustafar, Espri Gumak had gained a lot of power. He now called himself as Darth Mufasa, which meant "vengeance". He could now zap lightning from his bare hands, besides having a lightsaber. From these lightning bolts, he created his first minions, which multiplied to form lots of them. They spread throughout the entire galaxy, startling all the Jedi, especially Espra Gumak and Koro Samak.
While all these minions prowled the galaxy, romance started blossoming between Espra and Koro. On one night, the two arrived, tired from killing some of Darth Mufasa's minions. They ended up sitting down together, gazing at the stars. Espra reached for Koro's hand. Koro blushed and gave in to Espra's request. They held hands the rest of the night. Finally, Espra leaned forward and kissed Koro. It was a long and passionate one. The two finally discovered that they loved each other.
Gone were all the thoughts of Espri, what mattered most now to Koro was that she now loved her best friend – Espra Gumak.
