A New Crew

Kyoshi Island

I walk through the town and grab a robe in a Jedi style. I walk over to the statue of Avatar Kyoshi with three individuals tied to it surrounded by Suki, Oyaji, and the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors. Suki walks over to me asking," Who are they?"

I shrug my shoulders and respond," Two of them are definitely Water Tribe in my opinion though the younger boy may be the Avatar."

Suki rolls her eyes at the statement and walks over to Oyaji and they begin to interrogate them. Which is in my opinion inefficient. I use the force to feel their thoughts and their unshielded minds getting my answer.

"You three have some explaining to do." As Oyaji finishes Suki threatens.

" And if you don't answer all our questions we're throwing you back into the water with the Unagi."

The older boy barks," Show Yourself, cowards!" After he stops he is perplexed about who attacked him with the blindfold off him," Who are you where are the men who ambushed us?''

Suki responds," There were no men! We ambushed you! Now tell us who you are and what are you doing here?" As the boy prepares to interrupt I speak what I can feel from the force.

" That won't be necessary, Suki I already have found all the information. We need." "How?"

" The same way when you ambushed me." As I walk forward I look at the older boy. He is prideful and very arrogant. " These two over here are Water Tribe and your names are?"

The girl answers," I am Katara the Meathead is my brother Sokka."

" Thank you Katara, Now you are harder to figure but If I had to guess you're an Airbender and the Avatar!" Oyaji is flabbergasted, Suki is awed and so are the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors.

"Impossible!" While Suki says that he breaks free of the ropes and showcases his abilities and a trick.

" Impressive, most impressive." While the Avatar is speaking and Suki releases the group, I walk over to Oyaji." Make sure the word doesn't leave Kyoshi of the Avatar's presence." Oyaji nods his head in agreement. As I leave I know Oyaji will put them up into the meeting hall.

Now time to meet the Avatar one on one. I walk through the village and enter the great hall and walk up the steps with many questions floating through my head. As I enter the room with Aang he is wholly overjoyed by the Royal treatment. Katara is confused about the food and worried about Aang. Sokka is festering in the corner about being beaten by a bunch of girls.

"If you're so grumpy about having your butt kicked, You're in for a rude awakening." All three of them jumped because they are surprised I was standing there.

" How long were you standing there?" Sokka is easily startled

"Only a few minutes but I could feel his insecurities a mile away."

Katara chuckled at that, and Aang was confused," How?"

"I am a Jedi, I probed your mental walls and got what I needed without pushing too far, Avatar Aang." Aang's eyes are preparing to bulge out of his head at the proclamation of a Jedi in which he accepts my answer.

" So that is how you knew who we were but what is your name and where are you from?"

" I will answer the simpler of the two questions first. My name is Ezra Bridger. I am from a place called Lothal which is very far from where we are now."

Sokka inquires sarcastically, "The North Pole or Ba Sing Se far?"

" You see the stars at night their distance away from here!"

All of them look at me, Sokka retorts," You're insane, how could one come from there unless Nope!" As he said that.

I think and laugh both out loud and to myself, " I have been called many things but that is a first." Sokka still looks at me like I sprouted another head like Suki.

Katara looks over at me and asks, " Could you please sit across from us?" I walk over and accept the seat with myself staring straight into two children full of the naivety I had when I first joined the Rebellion with Hera, Kanan, and all the others. While I am caught reminiscing of those times Sokka notices my look while Katara and Aang are left confused as I shake myself out of those memories of simple times.

Sokka with a more cooled and leveled head inquires", Ezra, What is that look for?"

As I shake my head fervently I answer, " Just reminiscing on the past and my fami... My friends." Sokka relaxes at this phrase, Katara looks at me perplexed by my answer, and Aang doesn't notice.

I explain, " Aang I was told of you by Avatar Roku in a vision and he told me I should travel with you. I thought to leave it to you and your friends."

Aang answers with such joy, " We would like to have someone travel with us who is a little older, and more experienced. And a Jedi would help us with our journey. Monk Gyatso said he had met a Jedi. I think his name was Devon Bridger when he had landed in the Fire Nation during what he called the Grand Debate by the Fire Sages." The other two scrunch up their faces confused by the word Jedi again.

I look at him with shock and confusion covering my face," Devon Bridger was my Grandfather my Dad never talked about him seeing as my father had few memories of him but I never knew my Grandfather was a Jedi, I guess being a Jedi runs in my blood." I look down, confused by this information. Of course my family kept many secrets from me but I never expected this one.

While I head off to the Shuttle the rest of the Gang is off doing their own thing. I will need parts for a new lightsaber. I feel like I will need a few more pieces to complete my new blade. I have the pieces but from what Kreia's Holocron has said I should seek out two more crystals since I have the components to strengthen the blade. I will be salvaging parts from the one I took from Thrawn. Though it is still functional I don't need a lightsaber yet and I went so long without one. Which wires do I still need to make repairs and maintain my equipment? I set explosives in the shuttle to do away with the ship so the Fire Nation can't get it as well to prevent Thrawn from finding me nor the Emperor. The nightmare from two nights ago is still on my mind.

Then I see a column of smoke from far away. I shout aloud Zeb's old favorite," Karabast!" I run at full haste back to the village to aid them in their defense against whoever it is. I try and figure out a way to avoid a fight but when I arrive I see Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors fighting what looks like Fire Nation. It looks like they are losing time to intervene. I pull my trusty DL from my holster and aim at the rear guard of the attackers. As I take two of them down they chuck fireballs at me I dodge and use the force to create a barrier to protect me from the flames which nearly have me licked by fire. Then I hear Aang arrive and see Katara on Appa getting Sokka on board. Aang has flung their leader into a building. They are about to leave without me. With my body feeling the Force course through my reflexes I run through the troops and bounce off the ground and nearly reach the flying furry monster while they are leaving and I get a grip.

I yelled," Hey a little help here?" Sokka leans over and helps me onto Appa's saddle. "Thanks, Sokka." After Aang gets the Unagii to put out the fires. Aang gets scolded by Katara and we leave towards…?

" Hey, where are we going?"

Aang answered cheerfully, "We're going to the Northern Water Tribe so me and Katara can waterbending." Ok While I reflect on our swift withdrawal from Kyoshi I remember a feeling I had of the Fire Nation leader. Well, no need to focus on it. They discuss that Kyoshi was attacked by a member of the Fire Nation Royalty Prince Zuko. He was worst than either Leia and her brattiness on Lothal with the ships or Bail Organa's anger with my trip to Tatooine when I had to debrief him in person on the whole debacle that was kept secret from Alliance command. Though Organa was willing to save me from Mothma.


I don't own either Star Wars or Avatar the Last Airbender both belong to their respective owners. Critique to your heart's content but be polite. Sorry It took so long for some I had to rewrite this chapter from my original as well add references to other Stories I plan on doing in the Future
