Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, or any such affliations. I only own my character.
I'm trying something new! This is my first Star Wars fic, so please be somewhat open and understanding of my sucky writing. This story starts right before the small band of rebels leave for Endor. Luke has just returned from Deguba and the Rebel Alliance meeting has ended.
Chapter One
Luke Skywalker left the meeting with his companions Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo, his dark blue eyes worried. He had faith in his training with Yoda, but he was still wary of the encounter with his father, which he knew was inevidable. Leia, his twin sister, saw the worried expression on her brother's face and gently patted his back comfortingly. Suddenly, the young Jedi ran into a girl around his same age. She had long light brown hair which she had pulled back into a ponytail, and odd dark purple eyes. The girl immediately apologized to a shocked Luke. However, he did not hear her words. Her body radiated such strong Force waves, he was nearly knocked over. 'Another Jedi! How can this be? Ben told me that other than my father, I was the only Jedi left! This girl has to be a Jedi though...the Force surrounding her is too strong for any normal person, and it seems tamed, like she has honed her abilities far beyond their normal capacity. But...who is she?' The girl had been watching him, and she waited until he seemed done thinking to ask "Um, excuse me, but is the Rebel meeting over?" Distractedly, Luke nodded. The girl frowned, seeming dismayed. Han ran a hand through his unruly dark hair, rumpling it even more. "What does a little punk like you want with the Rebel forces? And what makes you think you can just waltz right into one of their top-secret meetings, huh?" Leia glared at him, causing him to shut his mouth and return the glare. Luke turned to the girl. "Who are you, Jedi?" She didn't seem at all surprised that he had called her Jedi. In fact, she would have been surprised to be called anything else. "I am Reyna Cydian, Jedi Knight. You must be Luke Skywalker...I can sense the Force flowing through you. It's good that I found you, you're exactly the person I wanted to see." He was taken aback. "Me? Why do you want to see me?" Reyna glanced around cautiously. "Is there any way I can speak to you in private?" He nodded and led her to his room. When they reached the door, Reyna glanced back at Han and Leia. "I would like the two of you to attend as well." Confused, they followed the female Jedi into the room.
-----------------
Inside the room, a protocal droid and a astromech droid were arguing heatedly. They stopped as the four humans entered the room. "Now listen, Artoo, Master Luke won't want to hear such a foolhardy plan! He has enough to deal with right now, he doesn't need an annoying bucket of bolts telling him what to do! Oh dear..." Luke smiled at the protocal droid. "You needn't worry about me, Threepio. I'll be fine..." He turned to Reyna. "This is C-3PO, our protocal droid, and R2-D2." he explained, pointing to each droid in turn. R2 beeped a greeting to the young Jedi. She laughed before turning to Luke. "I came here with an experimental theory that needed your approval, Master Skywalker..." she said seriously. "Please call me Luke, Reyna. What's this idea of yours that's so secret?" She bit her lip nervously. "Well, I've come across a new way to harness the Force. It's a form of time-travel, if you will. Granted, it's still only experimental, but so far, my tests have proved successful..." Luke cocked an eyebrow. "Do you plan on telling us what this plan of yours is?" She blushed very slightly in embarassment. "Right, sorry...see, my father died when I was 10, he had been the one to originally train me as a Jedi. Before his death, he told me of the man who became Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker. I was sucked in. I thought to myself, if there would have been some way to stop Anakin from going to the Dark Side, so much of this bloodshed could have been spared. All of my life, I've been dwelling on this. About three years ago, I discovered a side of the Force few had ever seen: time-travel. At first, I couldn't even try to use it. But as time went on, I was finally able to harness it, sending myself minutes back in time. I feel, that since I have been pushing myself to the limit, I can now go back months, even years. Granted, I may need help. That's why I came to you, Luke. Your Jedi abilities are famous even in the farthest corners of the galaxy. I also wanted to see how you would feel about this...I mean, after all, you, along with your twin, would be the most affected..." Luke had been sitting through her narriation, and he looked slightly pale. "You want...to go back in time and save my father? Reyna, that sounds impossible!" She smiled at him. "I thought you might say that. Here, why don't I show you? I'm afraid my ability to go into the future isn't as well honed, so we can only go back a few minutes...here, hold onto my robes..." Mystifyed, Han, Leia, and Luke each took a handful of her robes. She closed her eyes, and held up her right hand. A bubble formed around them, and everything went black for a second.
-----------------
They appeared right outside of the hall where they just had their meeting. The bubble disappeared, and Reyna opened her eyes. She was breathing slightly heavier, but the trek seemed to only wind her a little. They watched in awe as other Rebels left the hall, preparing for the mission on Endor. Reyna seemed pleased. "Go ahead to Luke's room." she said, grinning. They reached the Jedi's room, and yet again found R2-D2 and C-3PO arguing. "Now listen, Artoo, Master Luke won't want to hear such a foolhardy plan! He has enough to deal with right now, he doesn't need an annoying bucket of bolts telling him what to do! Oh dear..." the golden droid sighed. Leia hid her gasp. "How did you do that!" Reyna gave them that mysterious smile of hers. "I told you...I used the Force to time-travel. Now do you believe me, Luke?" The young man nodded. "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't just seen it with my own two eyes...are you sure about this, Reyna? I mean, this operation would be highly dangerous..." She shrugged. "What's the harm in trying? I mean, this is the fate of one of the galaxy's most powerful Jedi. If we could somehow alter it, think of the possibilites!" Luke nodded, sighing. "All right then...but what will happen to Leia and I?" (We'll just assume Leia was told during the meeting) Reyna seemed deep in thought. "I could probably put you in a protected barrier...Solo here as well, for good measure. Then, if you would be willing, I would take one of your droids with me...would they have information on Anakin?" she asked. Luke looked at R2-D2. "R2 would probably be your best bet...go ahead and take him, if it will help in your mission." Reyna nodded. "Just let me change, and I'll be off..." She disappeared momentarily. When she returned, they saw that she had shed her simple robes. Now she had on a tight brown shirt with 3/4 length sleeves, tan pants, brown boots, a black vest, and a brown belt. Her lightsaber and a blaster pistol were thrust into her belt. She also had wrapped a brown cloak around her shoulders. R2 wheeled up beside her, whirring and beeping away. She surrounded the three other humans with a protective shield and gave them a salute before wrapping herself and the small droid in a bubble and vanishing in a pale glowing light.
I know it sucks, but I hope it'll get better as it goes along. I'm not as informed as I would like to be about Star Wars...heh. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
