Chapter I:
A Jedi From Felucia
"She's awake!"
"The Jedi?"
"Yes, The Jedi Captain Flou found on Felucia."
"How is she?"
"She's still recovering Commander Iblis."
"At least she's alive, find out what she knows."
"Yes Commander."
"Report back immediately Private Zuiker."
Private Rok Zuiker walked into the Intensive Care Unit on the Alderaan space ship, Hope II. Hope II had been sent on a recovery mission for the Jedi to assist in the attempted revolt against the Empire. During the Outer Rim Campaign Hope II had to make an emergency fuel stop on the Empire-less planet Felucia. There in a small native village they found a blue female Twi'lek Jedi in critical condition with several blaster wounds all over her body. It was amazing to see her still alive, barely alive, but still alive.
Zuiker opened an occupied room and revealed the Twi'lek Jedi sitting in bed with several wounds still unhealed. "May I ask what is your name is?" Zuiker asked.
"I am Jedi Knight, Aayla Secura. Where am I? Why did the clones turn on me? What happened to the other Jedi?" She asked frantically.
"You are on the Alderaan spaceship Hope II. All other Jedi have either been killed or they have gone into hiding," Zuiker responded.
"Then Master Windu was right, there was a plot to destroy the Jedi," Aayla spoke softly. "Tell me, what happened to Master Windu?"
"Mace Windu is missing, but supposed dead," Zuiker answered.
"What about Jedi Barris Offee, the Jedi with me on Felucia?" Aayla asked.
"Dead, shot by a clone armor tank," Zuiker responded.
"Master Shaak Ti?"
"…Missing…" Zuiker said.
"Master Yoda? Master Kenobi? Master Luminara? Mistress Lumina?" Aayla asked frantically.
"All missing, presumed dead," Zuiker answered solemnly.
"Others must have survived…they must have!" Aayla pleaded.
"I hope you're right, but you're the first Jedi we've found and we've searched much of our galaxy, not to disappoint you," Zuiker told her.
"Palpatine claimed himself emperor of the new Galactic Empire after the Jedi were destroyed and now they are creating some kind of huge space system. We need Jedi to fight on the Old Republic side and remove Emperor Palpatine and his Sith apprentice, Darth Vader," Zuiker informed her.
"It was Palpatine the entire time! The Sith Lord under the Jedi's nose the entire time! Who is this new apprentice of his? Darth Vader?" Aayla asked.
"As you may not know, Anakin Skywalker turned on the Jedi and became Darth Vader. Then he destroyed the Jedi Temple and murdered all inside it with Vader's Hand clone unit," Zuiker answered her.
"All the people inside…the younglings…Jocasta Nu…innocents…." Aayla mourned.
"I'll come back in a minute to introduce you to Commander Iblis in a few minutes," Zuiker said and walked out of her room and out of the ICU.
"Ah! Private Zuiker, what did you find out?" Iblis asked.
"She is Jedi Knight Aayla Secura. She knows nothing about the revolt or the plot against the Jedi," Zuiker informed.
"So the Jedi didn't know anything about it either," Iblis concluded.
"She also asked about some of her Jedi friends-" Zuiker began.
"Find out where her friends were when the clones attacked. We'll seen if there is any life forms matching their description in that area," Iblis ordered. "Send your findings to Pilot Hinu immediately!"
"Yes Commander Iblis!" Zuiker saluted.
Private Zuiker entered the hospital wing room and saw Aayla completely healed of the multiple blaster wounds on her body. She was standing with her Jedi Knight clothes on and her blue lightsaber at her side.
"How did your wounds heal so quickly?" Zuiker quizzed.
"Bacta, a medicine that heals your wounds quickly," Aayla proclaimed. "By the way, what is your name and position on this ship?"
"I am Private Rok Zuiker on the Alderaan spaceship Hope II," Zuiker announced.
"I see, and who is your superior?" Aayla asked.
"Commander Tak Iblis. He is an ex-senator of the Galactic Republic and friend of Bail Organa, who is now Viceroy of Alderaan," Zuiker explained.
"What do you need?" Aayla asked.
"The locations of as many Jedi you can remember during the betrayal," Zuiker said.
"This may take a while for you to write down. Let's see Shaak Ti was on …" Aayla began.
"Commander Iblis, this is Jedi Knight Aayla Secura," Zuiker introduced five hours after being sent on his mission.
"Pleased to meet you Master Jedi," Iblis said.
"Sorry sir, but I am not a Master," Aayla corrected.
"With most of the Jedi gone and you being the only one left alive, I see you as a master," Iblis countered. "By the way, what took so long private?"
"Master Secura remembered over 120 Jedi with their locations during the betrayal," Zuiker explained.
"Good memory Master Secura, have you given your information to pilot Hinu?" Iblis asked.
"We just came from his quarters commander," Zuiker responded.
"Could he trace any of the locations?" Iblis asked.
"A few, we're going to the closest planet, Coruscant, where Jedi Masters Lumina Nox and Shaak Ti were last at," Zuiker responded.
"Let's hope that at least one of them survived," Iblis said.
"Commander!" a subordinate yelled.
"What is it private?" Iblis responded.
"Urgent message from Viceroy Organa on the Jedi case," the private answered.
"Patch it through. Hello Bail! I hear you have a message for me?" Iblis greeted his life-long friend.
"Greetings Tak! Yes I do have a message. Jedi Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, and Mistress Nox were rescued after the betrayal, but I was not going to release this information until another Jedi was found. So we have at least four Jedi to help in our revolt. I'm sending coordinates to Mistress Nox now. She will assist you greatly in your search. Good-bye my friend," Bail faded out.
"Good-bye my friend, and thank you," Iblis responded to the blank screen and exited his office to the helm to receive the coordinates and turn the ship to the location of the great Jedi Master.
