UPDATE: Thank you AlisonStarr23 for your review. I wasn't going to say anything yet, but yes I know that the name Zack is not Star Wars. My original plan was for Zack to be from Earth, but then you look at time periods, and Star Wars rules, and you figure that it was "out of the galaxy". But do you know how hard it is to come up with Star Wars name? Gosh, I'm gonna stick with Zane Toron. Stinks, I know. So review and tell me what you think the name should be. I'm bad at this, I'm not gonna lie. So help me. But thank you Alison for concluding my decision, and letting me know that you think the same way. Okay, here ya go. Keep reading.
Priscilla
I woke up early that morning, nervous about the next day. Was I excited? Sure, but this was scary. I was only sixteen, and I was going to be part of the first mission to some other galaxy. I knew this was a huge opertunity, but I wasn't as tough as everyone thought I was. I got scared too. I just didn't want people to know that. At least I was leaving all of the drama that takes place in the Academy.
When it came to social life, I didn't have much of one. The only people I would talk to was Quan and Zane. All the other girls thought I was different, that I didn't act like the other padawans. They thought I was a tomboy, but I really wasn't. I just wasn't into all of that, let's do hair and dress into squence clothing. I liked the traditional capes that the Jedi wore. I thought they were cool, they didn't draw much attention. I didn't want attention. I liked being notuced, but I hated the spotlight. Now I had to go become part of something that was probobly going down in a history book. The other girls said I should be excited for the fame, but I wasn't. I was proud to be helping the Good Side, nothing more, nothing less. They didn't understand that.
I went outside and saw Zane and Quan heading over to the Jedi Council. I ran over to them. They seemed as nervous as I was. I never said it, but I had a thing for Zane. He was different, a good different. He had black hair that was brushed to the side, with short layers. He had green eyes, with a small hint of brown. He was cute, he had a strong build. He was exactly my height, which was medium tall. But what were the chances that he liked me?
We didn't say anything. I guess we were in to much shock to. We made our way to the southwest tower on the Coruscant. It was silent, a scary type of silent in the room. I watched as all twelve members had their eyes on me. They kind if creeped me out. It was hard to take in all the directions they were giving us. The only thing that really stayed in my mind was, "On Earth, there is a Crystal, strong enough to power up a new weapon the Sith have created. It has a power strong enough to take out the Jedi Force as we know it. Your mission is to go to Earth, find this Crystal before the Sith Lords do, and destroy it. Do you understand what we are asking of you?"
The three of us said, "Yes Master."
"Now go, a ship is waiting for you." Then we left the Coruscant, and went to the launch pad. The ship was different than what I had ever seen. It wasn't the largest ship in the world, but it was different. The body was the shape of a saucer, but then it thinned towards the tail, giving it a tadpole type shape, it was white, with the gray streaks. It was beautiful. Quan ran up and touched it. "Whoa," was all he could say. Zane dropped his backpack in astonishment. Quan hugged it the best he could, by spreading his arms out. "I'm home." He said. He was obesessed with aircrafts and engineering. He knew his rocket science.
Inside was like looking into a piece of the future. There were all sorts of buttons, and lights. It was state of the art.
"Do you like it?" A familiar voice said. It was Churono. We all nodded. "You guys will do great. You've made me proud already." I walked up to him and hugged him. He was the closest thing I had to family. That included Zane and Quan. We had been doing this since we were little. Churono had came later, but they had always been there. He was a little surprised at first, but then put his arms around me too. I pushed back. He gave a comforting smile. I loved having him as our mentor. He knew how to relate to me.
Then he walked over to Zane and Quan. He shooked their hands, but then they gave him huggs too. "Just stay out of trouble, okay? And may the force be with you"
"Yes sir," We said. Then he walked out, and the large white door closed behind him. Quan went over to the pilot seat. Then he frowned.
"Man," he said, It's on auto pilot." Then a flashing light said: BUCKLE UP. We each found a seat, and strapped ourselves. I could feel adrenaline pumping through my veins as it started getting ready for take off. The ground shook as the ship lifted off the ground. "Woohoo!" Quan yelled. Then the light that surrounded the ship started lighting up faster and faster until it was a straight band of light. The ship moved back a little, and the it pushed off. It was the fastest ship we had ever seen. Who needed light speed when you had this thing.
And then in a flash we were off I to space. It kept racing across the galaxy. We weren't exactly sure where it was heading,but we started freaking out when we saw that we were headed towards a black hole. "We're gonna die!" Quan yelled over the loud roar.
"Hang on!" Zane yelled. "They're not that stupid!" And then we got sucked into the black hole. There was no noise. All three of us tried to say, "Why is there no noise," but the sound didn't come out. I felt like my skin was being ripped off of me. The force that it was creating was simply indescribable. Inside the hole there were broken ship parts, and even parts of planets. I tried my best not to focus on the fact that we were most likely next. Then we saw a bright yellow light, and then WOOOSH! We were out of the black hole. We were in a different galaxy.
"That was awesome," I said when I finally caught my breath. The other two boys simply said, "Uh huh." I looked out the window. This galaxy, what did the council say it was?the Milky way?, was beautiful. I counted nine planets. Some were big, some were really small. I could tell by the atmosphere surrounding the planet how the weather was. We had to learn all about that in the Academy. I started to think about Tython. It was home. I missed it already, I missed Churono. Why had he chosen me? How did he know that I was worthy to go with Zane on this mission.
I looked back to the boys. Their hair was sticking up. I had to think for a second if it was just static, or if it was that there was no gravity. I looked back to my own reflection and knew that there was no gravity. The fact that my braid was floating up was a pretty good sign. The boys took their seatbelts off, and they started floating around in the ship. I started laughing at the sight. It looked fun, but then I started feeling hot. I turned around and saw that we were getting close to the massively huge yellow planet. Then it struck me that it wasn't a planet. It was a star.
"Um,guys. The autopilot is going to get us killed," I said.
Zane
All I could say was, "Well maybe they are stupid enough to send us out here to die."
"Zane!" Priscilla yelled. Okay, maybe not the best thing to say.
"Think Zane, think!", I thought. Priscilla was trying to figure out the control panel.
"How do you work this thing!?" She yelled. The Quan pushed her out of the way, and said, "I got this." Then he sat down in the chair. He pushed a button, and then the screen said, "BUCKLE UP". He could have just taken the time to tell us, but now was not the time to tell him that. Priscilla and I both sat down in the seats agian, (she actually sat next to me), and put on the seat belts.
Quan started humming like everything was calm. He started pulling the lever and it slowed us down. My heat stopped pumping as fast. Then he flipped some switches, and pulled on the wheel. He slowly turned it, whistling to himself. How could one be so calm when he could push the wrong button and kill us all?
Then the ship spinned around. We were heading the other direction. I let out sigh of relief. I was glad to have Quan and Priscilla here. With Quan's flight skills, Priscilla's sword skills, and my knowledge of the force, I could feel deep in my bones that no matter how hard this was going to be, we could pull through.
Quan lifted his hands of the wheel. "Boo Ya! That's how you get it done. MM!" He said clapping his hands once. Priscilla still looked like she was about to throw up, her face even pailer than usual. She was still looking forward, breathing in and out.
"You okay?" I asked. She nodded. Then her eyes grew.
"Oh boy!" She said leaning over. She pulled out a bag, and just through her stomach out. Yikes, I thought. If she was fighting, she could be awesome without even thinking about it, but when she had time to think she would freak out and panic. Then she would throw up. I didn't blame her though. I would have done the same thing, except I knew how to control myself.
We kept moving on, until we reached our destination. My heart started pumping as we entered the hot atmosphere of Planet Earth. There was fire surrounding the ship, but I figured the engineers of it had built it withstand any conditions, with the exception of the giant star. I closed my eyes, and tried my best to find peace. We could do this. I could feel it.
Okay. I know this is a little shorter than maybe what you were hoping, but hey. My schedule is CRAZY! With Basketball, and taking all advanced classes, I barely even have time to do my homework! So, you'll have to understand my situation. I hope you like it though. Please review! They encourage me to write more! Bye bye for now! I use exlamtion marks a lot don't I. Huh, just being my weird Star Wars Fan Girl. Kk, laters
