Chapter 4: New Horizons
14 years later…
Its now 1992 and the Jedi Academy is finished and thirteen force adepts were found so each Jedi master was assigned two padawans. James took on his two sons Jarel and Marek as padawans while Eric didn't have any sons although he meet up with a woman named Melanie, he took on Victor and Blake as his padawans. The academy was located in the Riverside where the Night Rider was also relocated a hidden hanger, the ship was transported at night on low power to avoid detection.
Jonathon opened the academy as The Korren Academy to the public but it was really the Korren Jedi Academy. James's two sons Jarel is now 8 and Marek is 5, yet many of the other padawans were much older mostly in their teens, there is Alex, Jarel and Marek's cousin and Jonathon's son Morgan and daughter Rhonda.
Inside one of the training rooms James is teaching Jarel some combat moves. Jarel swings low but James blocks then the strikes from above but Jarel moves swiftly at the side for an attack but James counters it. James with draws his lightsaber "Good Jarel your skills with a lightsaber are impressive" Jarel puts his saber away "Thanks dad" James is still breathing heavily "Why don't go and get ready for bed is getting late" "Okay Dad" Jarel goes running off followed by Marek.
A voice comes from the other end of the room "They sure giving you a run for money aren't they?" James turns to see Eric walking over. "Hello Eric how are Victor and Blake?" "Perfect, like the sons I never had" James walks over to the bench to rest "Aren't you seeing that that one lady?...Melanie right?" Eric nods and smiles "Yeah" "So why haven't you tied the not yet?" he says smiling and pointing at him "I don't know" "In time Eric, in time" Eric smiles to himself "Yeah I suppose James, that reminds me how's Clare?" James looks up "She's doing well she got a new job at the police dept. as a dispatcher." "Oh that's good, well you look tired you better get to bed soon, as a matter of fact I'm heading off bed myself. Good night James" he says while walking away "Good night" James says in response.
In the middle of the night Jarel is shaking around in his bed "no…no…daddy…nooo." James comes running is and turns the light "What's wrong Jarel?" James say waking up Jarel. Jarel wakes suddenly realizing it was a dream a most horrible dream. "Daddy it was scary I saw you fighting with someone with a red lightsaber but I couldn't see who its. And then-" James looks really concerned "Then what?" Jarel tears up "I can't say daddy it was too scary" James gives him a hug "It's alright son, everything will be fine don't worry" Jarel is has stopped crying but the tears are forming "Its okay son it was just a nightmare, nothing to worry about" But in the back of his mind he felt Jarel was having a vision, he remembered Kailin's holocron mentioning something like this. Just then he became afraid for a second, not only for his safety but for his sons too. He looks at Jarel "Go back to sleep everything ill be okay, I promise" Jarel looks up with tear filled eyes "You promise?" James nods "I promise, now go back to sleep" with that Jarel drifts back to sleep and he gets up to leave the room.
1 year later…
Eric is at a restaurant with Melanie. "So Eric how is it going at the Academy?" "Its good, Victor and Blake are showing quite a bit promise" He takes bit of food. Eric realizes he forgot something, he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a ring box and kneels in by Melanie "Melanie will you marry me?" "Yes…Yes Eric" He hugs her, a few minutes later they are both walking back to Melanie's home in LA. "You know Melanie-" He is interrupted by small gang, the leader comes up to Eric with a gun pointed at him "Hey man give me you money" "I don't think you know what your doing" say Eric feeling they have know Idea what there up against. "Give me the money" he threatens again "Look I don't want to hurt you" "Is that a threat?" pointing the gun at his head now. "I'm just saying I don't want any trouble" "Then give me the-" Eric forces him several feet, knocking him to the ground. The others open fire, but before Eric could protect Melanie she takes two to the chest. Eric feels rage build up as he blocks their shots with his lightsaber. Then Eric does a force wave knocking down all of them, but then he sees the leader running away, Eric quickly catches up with and pushes him down. The gang leader rolls over to see Eric standing over him lightsaber ignited "Please no, don't kill me" "Like your gang killed my fiancé" Eric starts raising his left arm like he's about to strike. "Please-" then in one motion Eric swings his hand a few feet away but uses the force to break his neck. Rage still filling him within him he seeks out the other gang members, each one he uses the force to kill them, not using his saber because of the wound. Without realizing what he did he ran over to where Melanie was and held for a while swearing he avenge her, then he runs off for his car parked at Melanie's house.
