Chapter 4: All That Happened All Those Years

The years went on for both Ben & Myri.

But their lives developed in different ways.

Myri's parents got divorced, her mother went in jail for killing the Senators Giddean Danu and Tendau Bendon. She lived with her father in Washington D.C., closer to his sisters and their husbands. from then on, she lived a more peaceful life at home and a more social life at school. Both she and her sister were way happier than before.

At the age of 16, Myri had grown up to a young woman with the height of 1 meter 65. Her physical appearance had changed very much too, her body had gotten the shape of an hourglass with perfect round hips, a flat stomach, skinny limbs, and good C-cup sized boobs. There were barely any scars left of her 4 years living in hell on her pinkish skin since her father treated her well and never laid a finger on her.

Her father married Mara Jade on February 14 in 2020, and she gained a half-sister and a half-brother in the first 5 years of that marriage.

Ben gained a stepmother and 4 half-siblings before he became 9 years old.

Since that, his physical appearance changed very much. Since he started to train to become a NFSBI Agent when he was 12, he had started producing muscles everywhere on his body, especially his torso and his arms. Both his father and stepmother were helping him after school with particular moves for attack and defense in hand-to-hand combat and anything with a lightsaber.

At age 16, Ben's body was in perfect shape for a future NFSBI Agent. His fire red hair was now longer and made him look like a bad boy type of guy, especially when Ben wore black clothing. He was 1 meter 80 tall and thus 3 centimeters taller than his father and a head taller than his stepmother.

"Thanks dad for dropping me off!" Myri said as she stepped out of the car.

"No problem sweetie, and try to make some friends here." Wedge said.

"Sure dad." Myri said and closed the door with a smack, walking towards her new school, School Without Walls High School. She hoped the guys wouldn't try to hit on her because she was wearing some damn short skirt made of jeans material. Myri heard her father driving away from the school.

"Hello there, hot stuff." a guy said.

Myri quickly turned around to see a brunette guy with small braids in his hair, dark brown eyes, a bad breath and beaver-like teeth. This guy was the same length as she was. "I'm sorry, but I need to go." she quickly said, ready to run away.

But the guy with beaver teeth gripped her arm tightly. "You're not going anywhere, you're too hot to walk around in the wild." he said, pulling her closer, close enough to kiss her.

But a very tall guy ripped the brunette away from her. "If you ever touch her again, you'll be sorry you did that." the tall guy said.

The brunette guy mumbled something and walked away.

Myri looked up at her rescuer.

He had shaggy fire red hair, sky blue eyes and a very strong body with very muscled limbs and torso. And in his black clothing, he seemed to be a bad boy type: He wore jeans with a silver belt and a black leather blouse, silver chains around his neck, wrists and one in his pocket as well.

"Uh, thanks for saving me." Myri said nervously.

Her rescuer looked down on her. "Don't you recognize me anymore Myri?" he asked.

Myri took a better look, but she really couldn't recognize him. "I'm sorry, but who are you?" she asked.

Her rescuer gave her a friendly smile. "I know I've changed very much since the last time we saw each other at my father's wedding. And I'm very sorry I wasn't there at your father's wedding with my mother." he said. "It's okay that you don't recognize me."

Myri's eyes wided. "Ben!" she happily shouted and hugged him tightly. "I've missed you very much! Why did I never hear a thing from you?" she asked as she pulled away.

"I've started to train to become just like my father. The whole agency presumes I'm going to replace my father when he retires, and that my first born son will take my place and so on." Ben replied. "The agency is slowly becoming more of a federal agency and is as well recognized as one by the government, yet the training is still done in secrecy to be sure no anti-JEDI movement can try to attack the Academy."

"I understand that part, but are Holo-phone calls not allowed then?" Myri asked.

"We're only allowed to call our parents, and when your parents are divorced, you're only allowed to call the parent who is the closest to you, and that's my dad." Ben replied.

"Now we're talking about family, I don't really know what kind of connection I have with you right now." Myri said. "Cause my dad married your mom and your dad married my aunt. Aren't we family by law now?"

"Well, we're not biological related. So I'd say I'm your stepbrother and step cousin." Ben told as they went into the school.

"Stepbrother sounds the best, it will tell particular people to stay away from me." Myri said. "It'll make me feel more safe."

"If it makes you feel better, I'll agree on your choice." Ben said.

"Thank you Ben, you're the best!" Myri said and hugged him again.

"No problem Myri, I'd do anything for you." Ben said, hugging her back.

Myri didn't have any trouble anymore with boys who wanted to hit on her. The news that Ben was her stepbrother had gone through the school very quick. And apparently, most boys had seen how much muscle Ben had and thought twice before they would approach Myri.

Most girls were incredibly jealous of Myri that she had such a handsome stepbrother.

Myri just rolled her eyes at the jealousy and just loved the way Ben was looking at her, which was not at her body, but at her face.

2nd of October 2027, 2nd day of high school

Wedge dropped his youngest daughter off again. But to his shock, his daughter didn't go towards the girl groups, but approached a very tall boy with short red hair that looked like they were on fire and intense blue eyes.

The boy wore jeans with a silver belt and a black leather blouse with ragged edges, silver chains around his neck, wrists and one in his pocket as well. He was very well muscled all over his body and looked very fit.

There were 6 full human guys around him with exactly the same clothing, just different colors hair, eyes and skin.

The group was sitting on a low wall.

Wedge opened the door on his side and ran up to Myri, his hand on his gun for the case he would have to shoot one of the boys if they wanted to hurt his little girl.

The boy with flamy red hair stood up and hugged Myri, his muscled arms on her back and not on her waist like a boyfriend would do. He was at least 13 centimeters taller than Myri and at least 6 times as strong as she was.

Myri saw him. "Dad?! What are you doing?" she asked.

"Myri, these guys look way to dangerous. I'm not letting you with them." Wedge said.

"Dad, it's just Ben and some of his friends." Myri told.

"Ben?" Wedge asked.

"Ben Skywalker." the boy with flamy red hair said. "I'm your stepson."

Wedge didn't know what happened. "What the hell happened to you those 12 years?" he asked. "You don't look like the boy I remember at all."

"I was only 4, I'm 16 now. I just went through my puberty pretty early." Ben said, flexing the muscles on his arms. "And I have already started training to be an JEDI like dad and mom."

"You're calling my sister your mother?" Wedge asked.

"She raised me for the past 12 years, I didn't know what else to call her. Stepmother sounded way to unequaled and I found calling her by name way to formal." Ben replied.

"Well, at least I now know I've got a strong stepson to protect my daughters." Wedge said, forming a smile on his face.

"And these guys will help me by protecting her, right guys?" Ben asked.

"Yes chef!" the other 6 guys said.

"Why do they call you chef?" Wedge asked.

"I'm the leader of this squad. We're a team of apprentices and the teachers choose me as their leader." Ben replied. "The teachers expect me to have leadership quality, like my father and grandfather before me."

"Oh, that way around. Could you introduce me to your squad?" Wedge asked.

"Of course sir." Ben said.

All 6 guys stood up, standing in one straight line.

"Let me introduce you to Oliver Welling,"

Oliver had slight longer light brown hair, greyish blue eyes and a light skin. He was strong and fit as well, but not like Ben and he was at least 5 centimeters smaller.

"Jonathan Beaumont,"

Jonathan had short ebony black hair, emerald green eyes and a slight tanned skin. He didn't have that much muscle in his arms, but his legs were very well trained off and neared the same height as Ben.

"Dayan Moukossov,"

Dayan had short dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and a light tanned skin. His arms were trained off the most, but his legs looked pretty weak.

"Peter Herrington,"

Peter had short sun blonde hair, emerald green eyes and a very light skin. He was around Myri's height and probably still needed his growth spurt while the other guys already had theirs. His body was as well trained off, but had slight less muscle than Ben.

"Youssef Tamar,"

He had the looks of a Moroccan guy and probably was one with his ebony black hair, dark brown eyes and very tanned skin. Youssef was strong as well, but not enough to rival Ben's straight, and his height was a trouble as well since he seemed to be at least 10 centimeters smaller as Ben.

"and Ivan Jacobs."

The last member of the squad was the tallest one, he seemed to be like 1 meter 90 and he was very trained as well. Ivan had long blonde locks, sky blue eyes and a light skin. A guy that would attach many woman from Jefferson if the Supremacy had taken over America during the past years.

"I appreciate you guys around both of my daughters, as long as you swear to protect them, even against a squad member of yours." Wedge said. "I hope that is possible, by the all of you."

"Sir, yes sir! Mr. Antilles." the squad replied, excluding Ben.

"Mr. Antilles, I promise to protect both Syal and Myri as the stepbrother I should be to them." Ben told.

"Watch your squad, I trust you the most of them all, don't disappoint me." Wedge said, nearly pointing his blaster to Ben's heart.

"I won't sir." Ben said. His voice sounded very honest.

Wedge had to believe him on his word, and otherwise he knew where he could find Ben and his family. He had the address. With that in his head, Wedge drove away towards the military training fields at Constitution Garden.

"Is your stepdad always like that?" Youssef asked.

"Well, I haven't seen him in 12 years because I was busy at the Academy." Ben replied. "You'd better ask Myri."

"Dad is just being the protective father towards his daughters, he doesn't want us to be hurt by any kind of guy." Myri told. "Nothing to worry about."

"It's not uncommon for fathers to be protective over their daughters." Dayan said.
