An Island Greeting

Kyoshi Island

" What is the Avatar?"

" The Avatar is the guardian of peace and justice for this world like the Jedi except there is only one of them for this world."

" What do you require of me to do?"

" I want you to find the Avatar, a Twelve-year-old boy with Arrow Tattoos named Aang, he will help you. You will figure it out in time Good Luck and May the force be with you." As I was about to say there is no such thing as Luck. The vision ends returning me to my camp. Well, it is the middle of the nighttime to go back to sleep.

When I woke up I decided to go and fish and prep for what the force has in store for me this day. While fishing I tap into the Force and feel several presences they are suspicious and searching for what happened yesterday. When I got back to camp, I put on a bacta patch and cooked my breakfast. As I walked back. I can feel them in the surrounding shrubbery, in the trees, and prepping the trap. Once I sat down I put the fish by the fire and grab a patch for my shoulder. I start the fire and know they have me encircled. If Kanan has taught me anything and my experiences 'Spring the trap.' As I scan my surroundings I can see them rushing around to prepare to attack me.

" I know you are there whoever you are so come out I do not want to fight you." The leader is dressed in green with fancy makeup and a fancy headpiece comes out. She appears first with a look of confusion and anger wanting to know who I am.

" Thank you I do not wish for a fight with…"

" The Kyoshi Warriors, who are you or we will throw you to the Unagi!" " My name is Ezra Bridger." "Suki!"

"Well sit down. I do not want to have a nice woman such as yourself standing and where are my manners? Do you want some fish or your friends?"

As I sit six more of these Kyoshi Warriors appear from the forest. " You are coming back with us to the village."

" I would like to have some time to gather my things."

" Fine!"

I had grabbed as many blaster packs, I could fit with, two E-11s, my DL- 44 in its holster, Kanan's Holocron, Kreia's Holocron, and several Bacta patches for my shoulder.

" I think I have every..thing." I see the old recording with my parents on it and see a recent picture with me and Sabine. " I will come back to you my Cyraika." As I turn around I see Suki which causes me to jump with shock. " Who is she?" " Her name is Sabine. She is a Mandalorian who is also a good friend." As we walk away towards the village. I see a statue of a woman cloaked in green and makeup with their leader having the same headpiece. " Who is the person that the statue honors?" Suki looks at me like I just sprouted another so do the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors.

" She is Avatar Kyoshi, the woman who created the Kyoshi Warriors and Kyoshi Island when she saved us from Chin the Conqueror! How do you not know this?"

" I am sorry for I don't know this planet's history or anything." As I state this they continue walking as they escorted me to where I would be staying. Suki looks at me with the eyes of a hawk making certain that I don't do anything that would threaten them. While sitting down I empty my pack with the equipment that I have inside of it.

Suki tells me coldly," You will receive three meals daily but it will mostly be what we have. The War has caused us some difficulty getting food thus we have been forced into heavy rationing. We would also appreciate it if you would join one of our training sessions seeing as you have seen some form of combat experience." Her mood had shifted to a slight sadness and uncertainty and a belief in me not being capable to handle it.

My response shocked her, " I will teach you and your team some techniques but understand it will largely be in what I know of combat. However, I will need some time to be able to spar with you though I will make an attempt for tomorrow." Her eyes lit up with hope and optimism at the opportunity.

After Suki left I opened the Jedi Holocron that I had repaired for me to study it in secret. However, the greatest trick with the Holocrons was keeping Kanan in the dark. However, it wasn't the first time nor was it the last time I kept him in the dark before his death. However the Holocrons have information that is necessary to learn for my eventual return to Lothal Because the Rebellion will need a Jedi more than ever. Ahsoka is traveling the galaxy finding her path, General Kota is blind and most definitely so drunk out of his mind, Yoda is a mystery as always, Kanan is gone, Master Kenobi is somehow preparing the instrument of the Sith downfall which will require some help in time and their ain't any other Jedi I know of who are able to help the Rebellion. There is still much to learn on the force. As I meditate and focus on the Holocron it opens with knowledge long gone from the Galaxy at large.

As Ezra looks through the Holocron for what he seeks he grows tired and finally falls asleep from his study of the force concentrating on the knowledge trapped in the Small Blue Box. While he sleeps he has a nightmare of what might transpire with him away.

I arise from the grand fields of Lothal seeing them hopefully then I see Hera, Zeb, Chopper, and Sabine as I run to them. They look on with sadness at me asking in one voice," Why did you leave us?" I look at them confused by their question as I get to them I see they are dead and realize who the voice belongs to, not my family but the Emperor upon which I draw my saber only to see a shadow overhead a massive battle station the size of a moon. As I turn to cut down the Emperor I see Sabine instead. " Our blood is on your hands", as Sabine said it out of the shadows appears everyone who I have ever known including Kanan, Hera, Zeb, Ryder, and my parents repeat the statement. The Emperor states, " You should have taken my offer for they will suffer and you will suffer for your insolence boy. Even despite the distance you will never be free of my tendrils, because now you are truly alone. With you out of the way there are no Jedi left to interfere with my plans however your interference with my plans for the World Between Worlds will be your only slight and your last against me because your pitiful Rebellion will be annihilated when you are brought before me I will use you to open it even if your mind must be destroyed alongside your body." As I attempt to figure out a plan out of this nightmare I finally am flung from the Sith manipulation.

While waking back into the reality from the horrors of the Nightmare. I flee the Hut to the Beach and focus on anything but the dream I just had. After an hour it seems someone has followed me as I turn to see who it is I see Suki she must have realized or found out I had left the hut an hour ago. We both know we are alone and she says," I didn't know you would run from the hut in such fear but by my guess you had a bad dream." I simply nod my head yes and she looks at me and sees the utter fear in my eyes. " I will assume much worse a horrifying nightmare that is worse than anything I could envision." I nod again and answer," It was a nightmare manufactured by the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor Palpatine. He was able to use the force to enter my mind and make me see my greatest fears and speak to me despite the distance that separates me from the Old Jedi Temple and the Imperial Palace on Imperial Center." As Suki's face scrunches her face up she inquires," What is Palpatine exactly Emperor of?" I answer coldly," The Galaxy or what he and his puppets hold onto with their grasp except for the Unknown Region which is where we currently reside in the Galaxy." Suki even looks on in awe and confusion," The galaxy, Unknown Regions, I have so many questions to ask you it seems that you have traveled more than I could imagine and are far more knowledgeable than you seem to be an enigma to me and everyone here, We thought the metal wreckage was some Fire Nation prototype and you its crew but now I see you are not from Ratava." I now inquire," Ratava, Why is this planet called Ratava?" Suki explains," It was named in the honor of the Avatar due to the Avatar's role to keep the balance of the Four Elements; however most believe he is long gone. The Fire Nation killed him and found a way to stop the cycle from happening and many have lost hope in the cycle and with the Airbenders gone we have already lost the war!" With the two of us sitting in the sand and the sun about to rise I suggest," Let's leave this Beach and go get some sparring in so we can get our minds out of the bleakness of our predicaments and focus our energy but first I need to get dressed into something a little nicer so set up your dojo and then we will begin."

As I walk back to the hut and gather my stuff I walk towards the dojo and enter to see Suki ready for a duel with a sword. " Are you ready to get your butt kicked by a Girl?" She asks me. " Wouldn't be the first time," I responded while grabbing a sword with the force and pulling it into a grip, though not as light as a Lightsaber I still can hold my own with it.

She looks in shock but shakes herself out of it and gets into a stance for the sparring match. As we circle each other she goes in for the first strike which I block and push her back causing her to stumble which I follow in with a sideways slash in which she blocks but is crumbling under my strike in which she evades out of my strike. With the sword grazing her and the ground I immediately turn to see her go in for a stab which I evade gracefully flipping the sword into a reverse grip which I use to twist the into a motion to force her into yielding the match. However, she counters my move which forces me into a series of defensive parries and blocks which I then follow with using an acrobatic jump over her to evade her movement giving me more room to maneuver and retreat from the current blade lock. As we both stand watching the other with patience and the sweat rolling off of us, I make my next move to engage in a series of torso strikes and knock her off her feet seeing how sloppy her stance is which I smirk and move the blade into a Soresu stance. The shift in stance throws Suki for a loop and makes her more aggressive with a quick stab motion towards my torso which I block pushing the blade away from my body and step on her foot with grab of her wrist I force the sword out of her hand. The move itself forced her onto the ground with a sword at her throat.

Suki looks up in shock with her mouth open and ask," Do you yield?"

She looks up and states," I yield." Offering a hand to help her up from the ground which she accepts. As we both shake hands I hand back the sword that had been offered and pick up the other sword with the force to hand back to Suki. Which she looks on in shock with shock still gripping her face and asks," Are you an Airbender?"

I shake my head and state," I am a Jedi Knight an individual who can wield the force."

Suki looks on in shock and states shakely," The Jedi are myths I heard of a few of the myths warning of Malak who would come and kill even the greatest of Firebenders with but a gesture. The story ended with Revan vanquishing his evil and on the Great Forge. The lonely one who came with questions seeking Revan however most believed them like myself to be stories to scare children even I was scared that Malak would come kill people for his twisted empire but as I grew older I believed they were Fables and Fairytales to scare us into behaving."

I look on in awe of the story," I have only heard of Revan recently but he seemed to have had a massive impact on your world."

Suki looks on in shock," So you have never heard of the story of Revan and Malak."

I state simply," No because how long ago did this happen."

Suki responds," Four thousand years ago I believe."

I mutter to myself Four Milennia repeatedly. She looks on with confusion I realize something and answer," While your world may be wherever we are in relation Revan has fallen into myth in the greater galaxy likewise the same for the Jedi since the Emperor his New Order and the Jedi Purge. However, that is the darkness I wish to avoid and it seems we finally have the rest of your team."

As she turns around she asks simply," How long have you all been standing there?"

They answer," About half in on your duel and heard your entire conversation."

As they stand there an old man rushes in for Suki," There are people on the beach I don't know who they are I want you to grab them for interrogation."


I don't own either Star Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender both belong to their respective owners. Critique to your hearts content but be polite. Sorry It took so long for some
