The Jedi From Earth: A Star Wars Story #Wattys2023

A New World

Shawn walked into the cave and felt the chill that signified the power of the dark side that he hadn't felt in so long since growing almost numb to it. But this chill felt older, he brushed some vines away and then he heard the voice of Malgus say "this place radiates power" then he found the center of it and a cloud of fog appeared.

It showed the clones turning on the Jedi throughout the Galaxy such as Ki Mundi on Mygetto, then it showed a blue skinned Twilek on a planet covered with strange plants looking behind and being shot by the clones, next it showed a giant green laser hitting a world he recognized as Alderaan. A roar rang loudly and it showed a man wielding a red lightsaber stab and cut down another Jedi then Palpatine saying to a session of the Imperial Senate "the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire!" And applause then he said "for a safe and secure society".

Next it showed some planet Shawn had never seen but it bore a striking resemblance to Earth, then it showed a girl about his age was waving around some water and even though it was a vision Shawn sensed this world was strong with the force, then she dropped the water and kicked up a piece of the ground and then blasting some fire on the ground then jumping and some more out of her foot. Then it showed the Galaxy and the planet was near Malastare about twenty parsecs away from it though,

Then it ended and Shawn walked out of the cave and the humanoid said "the will of the force it was" Shawn asked "it showed a planet like mine near Malastare what's there?" The humanoid said "people use the force on this planet differently and only on certain elements they can like water" that confused Shawn how the force granted these people the ability to manipulate certain elements.

He said "then I'll get a closer look" and walked back to his ship when the humanoid said "exercise caution you must if knowledge of the Galaxy reaches them tear them apart it will". Shawn got in the Strings and flew back up to the Avenger, as he was in the elevator going up to the bridge he thought, it looked like Earth this isn't a coincidence, the door opened and he went to the holoprojecter and pulled up a map of the Malastare system and marked where the planet was and said "admiral set course for these coordinates" Fida sword something to a crewman who put in the coordinates and said "Hand Mendes there's nothing there though" Shawn replied "there'a planet there like mine now is there any enemy presence there?".

Fida looked over a report and said "no the third fleet has them contained near Rodia" then the fleet entered hyperspace, after three hours they arrived at the coordinates and there was a planet there. Shawn went down to the hanger and got in the Strings and flew down activating the cloaking system as he did, getting closer he headed for the brightest lights that signified a large city which was what he found and saw it looked very human and many had a structure that resembled various Asian cultures. He landed on the outskirts and got out and looked around it did look like Earth quite a bit but was stronger in the force,

Quickly and quietly he jumped over buildings and saw that the species was human and the technology looked like stuff out of the twenties only cars and radios. Then he sensed something below and saw that four people were sparring in an alleyway and were blasting fire out of their hands without burning themselves, he watched for a minute before jumping across more buildings and saw an island in the center of the bay with a single tower and buildings around it. Then he sensed someone was approaching and turned around.

There was a man with a strange mask on and a hood also "who are you?" He said in a deep yet scratchy voice, Shawn stepped back and the man said "I asked you a question who are you?" Shawn then jumped off the roof and slid down a pole and did a front flip and landed on his feet, he then sensed someone was near and turned and then someone wearing some sort of mask with green eyes on them ran up and jabbed him on the side. He tried to hit them but the assailant dodged it and ran off, Shawn raised his hand and tried to use force lightning but nothing happened.

Then the masked man landed in front of him and said "now you can't bend" and threw a dagger at him, Shawn didn't react in time and it hit him in the side and he yelled out in pain. He pulled the dagger out and ran off another direction holding his side which bled profusely, Shawn jumped down to another building and then a blimp of some kind shined at light at him and said "police hands up!" Shawn raised one of his hands and kept the other held down tightly to control the bleeding as several police landed around him one looked to have authority.

But as he was about to say something he passed out. He heard some voices a little one a woman's voice who said "what do you want Tenzin?" a mans voice replied "Lin nows not the time who's this boy?" The woman replied "we don't know found him on a rooftop looked like Amon got to him" Shawn felt some sort of relieve along with water where the stab was and opened his eyes a little and it was the girl he'd seen on Dagobagh, he lifted his hand slightly but then passed out again.

The next time he woke it was by Malgus saying "you let primitives subdue you now wake up! And he snapped awake, Shawn found he was lying on a bed in a room somewhere, Shawn felt for his lightsaber and it was on the table adjacent to him, then be felt where he'd been stabbed and there wasn't even a scar there. He picked up his lightsaber clipped it to his belt and slid the door which looked like something from feudal Japan and walked out.

He felt that his ability to use the force was back as well, then he walked outside and there was a large courtyard with the yin and yang symbol in the middle. Then he sensed someone was near "oh hi" and turned around and it was the girl from the vision, "uh hi who are you?" Shawn said and she replied "my names Korra what's yours?" He replied "Shawn nice to meet you" then a man called out "Korra get back here!" Korra rolled her eyes and said "ugh Tenzins calling come on" and walked away with Shawn following.

Eventually they made it to some sort of gazebo and a man was sitting crisscross in the center. He opened his eyes and said "he's awake" Korra said "yeah glad I found him before he wandered off" the man said "what's your name?" Shawn replied "Shawn".
The man stood up bowed and said "councilman Tenzin at your service. They sat down and Tenzin asked "where'd you come from Shawn?",

Shawn replied "a place above the stars" Korra said "what like space?" Shawn nodded and Tenzin said "Impossible there isn't any life in space" Shawn almost chuckled and said "well there is over 100 quadrillion beings out there" pointing at the sky. Tenzin looked interested and Shawn asked "where am I? What's that city?" Pointing at the city and Tenzin replied

"you're in the United Republic Of Nations and this is Republic City its capital".

Korra then said "what's that metal thing you have?" Shawn unclipped his saber and ignited it and said "it's called a lightsaber" then retracted it. Tenzin said "your civilization is quite advanced what's the governing power?" Shawn replied "uh the Galactic Empire" Tenzin stroked his beard and said "and what's your rank in this Empire?" Shawn replied "Hand Of The Emperor".

Tenzin asked "and what is the purpose of this rank?" Shawn said " to fulfill missions considered impossible". Tenzin stood up and said "can you bend?".  The question sounded strange and Shawn said "sorry I don't know what you mean" Korra then held her hand in front of him and a small flame was in her hand and she said "can you do this?" Shawn sensed it was an extension of the force and said "no but I can move stuff and conjure lightning". Tenzin turned around and said "Korra I'd like you to try to defeat him in the ring if that's alright with you Shawn", he replied "uh yeah sure".
