Earth 2005

A young man entered the room. His hair was damped by taking a shower after a hard training in the dojo. It was 9 o'clock, and the boy dried himself off, put on his clothes and packed his bag. He fowled his dogi pants and vest up neatly and threw his black obi belt on top of it.

Behind him, the door opened and a elderly man walked in and greeted the boy with one of his smiles. Sensei Akira, Master in Kendo and Karate, crossed his arms in front of his chest and watched one of his best students readying himself to go home. The young boy fowled up his towel and put it in the bag with the rest of his stuff. He sensed his sensei behind him and turned around and smiled. Every since he was small, he created a six sense. Some of them even told him he was telepathic.

"Good job, like always, Phoenix."

The boy nodded. "I'm a good student. Like always." He teased. Sensei Akira's eyes laughed and shook his head and all became seriously.

"Be careful when you go home. I have a bad feeling about this." The sensei replied, looking the boy in the eye. The boy nodded and took the warning. He was mostly always correct when he told him that something was not right. The boy zipped his bag and swung it over his shoulder. He made his way toward the door while his master followed. At the door he turned around and faced his Sensei.

"I have felt it too, Sensei. But I will be careful." The Phoenix boy replied.

"If anything would happen," He master advised, "Think about you training. Keep your mind clear and focused. Do no hesitate." His voice was low and serious. He loved this boy as his own, if anything would happen to him, only god knows what will happen to himself.

The young man nodded in agreement. He bowed in respect for his master and left. He felt like he would never see his Master ever again. And his feeling never deserted him before. The sun has set and the streetlamps were the only light in this darkness. Hadrian Phoenix made his way through the deserted streets of downtown LA. He was an orphan, and lived in a Home for Parentless Children or Runaways. He never liked it there, but it was the only shelter he had until the day he reached his adulthood.

But something was not right. His Sensei was right. Something was off this night. Something strange was working her. Even his senses went haywire which made him stop. A slight breeze blew through his dark black hair and his blue eyes scanned the area around him. At first sight, nothing was off. He closed his eyes and let his senses to the trick.

There it was.

Hadrian snapped his eyes open. There was something watching him. Something not real, or at least not human. Slowly, he moved on. He kept his eyes fixed on his surroundings. He wasn't sure what to do, only to walk straight towards home. Suddenly the lights went out and Hadrian stood in total darkness. He dropped his bag on the ground and turned around, letting his senses take control. There was no living beings around him and yet he stood alert.

Strange he thought. I can't even see myself. There was a strange sensation in the back of his mind. It was calm and serene which made his eyelids drop slowly. But Hadrian snapped out of it and held himself awake. But it was fruitless. Damn, this can't be happening. What is this? Were his last thoughts until he felt in oblivious.

Hadrian felt himself flying. It was a moment of freedom. His eyes were closed and he embraced the darkness. He never felt so much at ease. There was the familiar melody that always lulled him to sleep. But all good thing has an end when suddenly he heard a voice calling him in the distant.

'Hadrian'
Open your eyes

It echoed throughout the space he was flowing in. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw endless twinkling of stars. It was all around him. Like he was flying in space, the universe.

'Hadrian'
Listen Hadrian
Listen to me

There was it again. The voice which wasn't female nor male, but both. Hadrian tried to turn his body around, but he was motionless. Only his head and eyes could made the motion he want and he stared around in awe.

'Hadrian… Hadrian'
Phoenix

It came from all around. There wasn't a exact location of the source. Feeling helpless, Hadrian started to struggle. Bit by bit he felt life back into his body and he started to drift forward. But the present he felt earlier on 'Earth' was still close.

"Where are you? What are you?" Hadrian's voice echoed in space.

'I am.'

"Are what? What do you want from me?" He answered back immediately. The voice was close to his ear.

'I am the Force… I am life... I am death… I am…'
Listen to me
Hadrian

"Well, I'm Hadrian like you didn't know already and I want to go back. Right now!" He replied irritated.

'I can not do that. I need you help'.
Help me
Phoenix

"My help. Help for what?"

'To change the future.'
Danger

"What future?"

'The future of a story well known on Earth. A story that goes by the name of Star Wars. I want you to change it. Change the future of the Galaxy and of lives. You are the one I Choose.'

"What the heck! Star Wars! But that isn't real. It's a sci-fi novel and movies. This is ridiculous." Hadrian started to laugh. The sound carried around for a long time. Creepy.

'I have decided, Hadrian. You are the only living Force-sensitive on Earth. You are destined to do this.'

"But… But I am only thirteen. What can I possibly do to change that." He pleaded. "And it isn't even real!"

'Is this not real enough for you. You being here with me. You are the chosen one.'
Help me help us
Phoenix

"Bullshit. Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one. Not me."

'Correct. But there are always two of them. To keep the balance. You are the other one.'

"WTF! This isn't happening." He muttered to himself.

'It's time. Do what you need to do. May I be with you, Hadrian. Always.'

"Hey, wait!." But it was to late. The stars started to speed up all around him until it was to much for Hadrian to bear. He felt nauseas and blacked out.

The hard floor underneath him wasn't exactly you would call comfortable. Hadrian opened his eyes and groaned. He felt like he was ass kicked by his sensei back at the dojo. Leisurely, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He examined his 'room' and wasn't precisely what he expected. Frowning, he looked around. It was a storeroom with weird equipment and to door was made out of metal. Hadrian shrugged and stood up. Everything else was still intact. Except…

He looked down at himself and couldn't believe his eyes. Even his clothes were different. It was a beige like tunic and boots. With other words, he was wearing a complete padawan outfit. Hadrian felt like slamming his head against to wall. Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself and faced the door. He took a first step and his foot bluntest against something hard. He looked down and saw a tube like handle. He picked it up and examined it. It was a handle and to his amazing and conclusion; it was a lightsaber.

"Aaah great. This getting better and better." He murmured. He clipped 'his' lightsaber to his belt and went to the door. It opened and he popped his head out. There was nobody in the halls or corridors. Hadrian, using his skills of martial arts and stealth, creped through the passageway. It was eerie silent. Until he heard an explosion. It was small, but it vibrated through floor. Hadrian backed himself against the wall until he saw a window.

Mesmerized by the darkness, he walked toward it. He gazed at the endless space for the first time of his life. A small smile made his way across his lips. He finally realized the meaning of this. It was real. Very real indeed.

"Maybe this isn't too bad at all."

In the distant he heard a blaster shot and he backed away again. He must be someway in space he realized, but where? He made his move and started to run, keeping constantly contact with the wall. More shots could be heard by the end of the hall, but somehow he felt attracted towards it until he rounded the corner.

SMACK

Something hard dashed against him and he felt on his rear. "Darn, my ass." When he looked up, he saw something he always wanted to see in his life. Jedi's. Two real Jedi's. It was just his day. But the Jedi's in question were also looking at him in wonder. Two more blastershots were fired.

"Master. We need to move. The Droidekas are following us." The short one was saying.

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

"Yes, my Padawan." The other replied.

Qui-Gon Jinn.

Hadrian pulled himself up. If those two where here on this ship, chased by droidekas, then this mean that he was in the first Episode. Hadrian's eyes bulled almost out of his head. This also meant that he needs to stay with those two.

"Who are you?" Obi-Wan asked. Hadrian was actually speechless. What could he tell them.

"Now is no the time. But you looked like a Padawan." Qui-Gon Jinn answered, gazing at the boy. "Who you are is a mystery, but now we need to move."

"Look," Hadrian replied, " I don't know myself. But your right; now is not the time."

This time the blastershots were to close for comfort and the three Jedi's, actually two Jedi's and one in disguise, made their way towards an exit.

The ventilation shaft.

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Hadrian appeared at a large vent in a giant hanger bay after their little adventure in the shaft. They were careful not to be seen. Thousands of droids and ships were readying onto landing craft. Hadrian stood next to Qui-Gon behind the crates.

"Battle Droids." Qui-Gon replied surprised.

"It's an invisible army." Obi-Wan stated, staring at them. Hadrian still couldn't believe he was here while he listed to their conversation.

"It's an odd play for the Trade Federation. We've got to warn the Naboo and contact Chancellor Valorum. Let's split up. Stow aboard separate ships and meet down on the planet." The Jedi stated. Hadrian furrowed his eyebrow.

"You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short." Obi-Wan replied smiling. Hadrian snorted. The two Jedi's eyed him curiously.

"Look. I don't know how I got here, I just woke up here. By the way my name is Hadrian Phoenix and I'm from Earth. Don't ask." He said when Obi-Wan wanted to say something. "Now that we are here, I presume the negotiation never took place?"

"It did indeed, young one. Although you are dressed as a Padawan, but are you one?" Qui-Gon asked, still eyeing the ships further down.

"It came with the package of waking up in space." Hadrian replied dryly. The Jedi Master looked at the boy with a critical eye while Obi-Wan gazed at the ships which were ready to depart.

"Master we should better go."

Qui-Gon nodded, he turned to the boy. "Find a ship and meet us on Naboo."

Hadrian nodded, and the three of them took off.

Three landing craft slowly descended through the cloud cover of the perpetually gray twilight side of the planet. One by one, the Federation warships landed in the eerie swamp. Obi-Wan's head emerged from the mud of a shallow lake. For in the background, the activities of the invasion force could be seen in the mist. Obi-Wan took several deep breaths, then disappeared again under the muddy swamp. Troop Transports emerged from the landing craft.

Qui-Gon ran through the strange landscape, glancing back to see the monstrous troop transports, emerging from the mist. Animals began to run past him in a panic. An odd, frog-like Gungan, squatted holding a clam he has retrieved from the murky swamp. The shell pops open. It's greta tongue snapped out and grabbed the clam, swallowing it in one gulp. The Gungan looked up and saw a Jedi and the other creatures running like the wind toward him. One of the huge MTT's beard down on the Jedi like a charging locomotive. The Gungan stood transfixed, still holding the clam shell in one hand.

"Oh nooooooooooo!" He shouted. It dropped the shell and grabbed onto the Jedi as he passed. The Jedi was caught by surprise.

"Help me! Help me!" the Gungan shrieked.

"Let go!" Qui-Gon shouted angrily. The machine was about to crush them as Qui-Gon dragged the Gungan behind him. Just as the transport was about to hit them, Qui-Gon dropped, and the orange alien went splat into the mud with him. The transport raced overhead. The Jedi and Gungan pulled themselves out of the mud. They stood watching the war machine disappeared into the mist. The alien grabbed Qui-Gon and hugged him.

"Oyi, mooie-mooie! I luv yous!" The froglike creature kissed the Jedi. But Qui-Gon pushed him away.

"Are you brainless? You almost got us killed!"

"I spake." The Gungan replied, pointing at himself.

"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get outta here!" The Jedi passed the creature, but the alien kept following.

"No...no! Mesa stay...Mesa yous humble servaunt."

"That wont be necessary."

"Oh boot tis! Tis demunded byda guds. Tis a live debett, tis. Mesa culled Jaja Binkss."

In the distance, two staps burst out of the mist at high speed, chasing Obi-Wan.

"I have no time for this now..." Qui-Gon murmured. He looked around for his apprentice. He felt he was somewhere near. And where was that other boy?

"Say what?" Jar Jar replied.

Two Staps barrels downed Obi-Wan, who was coming their way. The two troops fired laser bolts at Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon deflected the bolts back with his green lightsaber, and the STAPS blew up. Obi-Wan was exhausted and tries to catch his breath. The forest was silent again.

"Sorry, Master, the water fried my weapon." Obi-Wan replied, pulling his burnt sword handle. His Master inspected it, as Jar Jar pulled himself out of the mud. Qui-Gon looked back up at his padawan.

"You forgot to turn your power off again, didn't you?"

Obi-Wan nodded sheepishly. Qui-Gon sighed. "It won't take long to recharge, but this is a lesson I hope you've learned, my young padawan."

"Yes, Master." He looked up. "Where's that boy, Hadrian?"

Qui-Gon arched his eyebrow and together they looked around. Like on cue, they heard again blastershots in the distant.

Hadrian ran literally his ass off. The speeder bike where the droid was handling kept following him and tried to blast him apart. The boy let his feeling guide toward the rest of the company. He found him earlier, but then the droid found him as well. Coming to a stop, Hadrian turned around.

"Screw this." He took his lightsaber, ignited it and a beautiful silver line came out of it. The druid shot two laser bolts at him which Hadrian deflected very easily. Then he stepped aside and slashed the bike in two which flew against the trees and exploded. Grinning like an idiot, he deactivated his saber and clipped it back onto his belt.

"All hail to Kendo lessons." He said happily. He turned around and saw his new friends staring at him a few feet away. He hid his joy and walked over to them. Obi-Wan gawked at him while his Master's expression was neutral.

"Did I miss anything?" Hadrian asked when he arrived.

"Nice display of courage, boy." Qui-Gon replied. "May I see your lightsaber?"

"Sure." Hadrian gave him his weapon and looked around.

"This is a very good one." The Jedi said after inspecting it.

"I guess. And if you're wondering, it came with the 'package'." Hadrian said, crossing his arms. Qui-Gon gave back his sword and looked at the little group.

"Yousa sav-ed my again, hey?" Jar Jar said, coming out of nowhere. Hadrian eyed the creature in awe and silent. While Obi-Wan did exactly the opposite.

"What's this?"

"A local. Let's go, before more of those droids show up." Qui-Gon said. The Gungan started to shriek.

"Mure? Mure did you spake?"

The three Jedi's started to run, Hadrian in the back keeping an eye on the alien. The Gungan was trying to keep up while panicking. Hadrian found this kind of amusing. But it didn't shut his mouth. And Hadrian knew exactly why.

"Ex-squeeze me, but da moto grande safe place would be Otoh Gunga. Tis where I grew up… Tis safe city."

They all stopped running and eyed the Gungan.

"Maybe we should listen to him." Hadrian advised.

Qui-Gon nodded. "A City?" Jar Jar nodded his head. "Can you take us there?"

"Ahhh, will…" he shook his head. "On second taut… no, no willy."

Qui-Gon looked bewildered. "No!"

"Iss embarrassing…" But the Gungan was shut by the boy.

"Look nobody is interested why you are kicked out of your City because your clumsy. Just take us there." Hadrian replied. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and even Jar Jar were looking at him in bafflement.

"How?" Jar Jar tried to asked, but a pulsating sound was heard in the distance. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan took the same technique that Hadrian used earlier; hard facts.

"You hear that?" The Jedi Master said. Jar Jar listed and nodded. "That's the sound of a thousand terrible things heading this way…"

"When they find us," Obi-Wan continued, "they will crush us, grind us into little pieces, then blast us into oblivion!"

"In other words," Hadrian played along, "They will kill us."

After a moment, Jar Jar agreed. "Oh! Yousa point is well seen. Dis way! Hurry." And again they were running, but this time after a Gungan.

Well, the first chapter. I know this was already done before, but heck, i wnated to do something like this to and I had fun writing it. I hope you have enjoyed it too.
