The Jedi From Earth: A Star Wars Story #Wattys2023

Four Leaders

Shawn quickly ran into the room where Palpatine and Izumi were having tea, "sorry Your Majesty" Shawn said to Izumi who nodded in acknowledgement, " sir I was attacked by a group of um" he paused thinking for the right word, "extremists" he said knowing it sounded funny coming from him, "what kind of extremists?" Palpatine asked sipping his tea, " one yelled something about that this is their world", "hmm curious" Palpatine replied. " they said they'd be coming for you next" Shawn said.

"Perhaps they might be remnants of the Red Lotus" Izumi said, that did make some sense but they seemed different in a way. "Extra security could be arranged for your safety Your Highness" she added, "that will not be necessary my guards are the most elite the Empire has to offer and I'm capable of dealing with attackers myself". That comment made the room go eerily quiet except for the mechanic rasp of Vader's breathing,

That night as the other world leaders expect for Chief Tonraq of the South Pole who'd they be visiting next arrived, President Raiko of the United Republic, Prince Wu and Kuvira the interim leader of the Earth Kingdom, Eska and Desna of the Northern Water Tribe. The security was at its peek as stormtroopers patrolled the palace grounds with the Fire Nation Royal guards.Shawn was partially listening but heard Palpatine talking with Kuvira "I want to restore order to the Earth Kingdom but how itd be kept together is beyond me" Kuvira said

"oh but perhaps the liberties of the people be limited for their own safety such as in our Empire you might consider forming one of your own" Palpatine said slyly. Overall the decision would be finalized by asking Cheif Tonraq who'd deliver the final verdict as the leaders were divided, "we don't wish to be drawn into an intergalactic conflict" Raiko argued, "oh but Mr President you must see the Empire will provide protection for your world" Palpatine said, "I concur with the Emperor" Kuvira added, "very well this meeting is adjourned" Izumi said hitting a gavel.

Southern Water Tribe,
As Palpatine was negotiating with Cheif Tonraq Shawn stepped out for a minute, then he heard a whistling sound to his left and saw Korra in a wheelchair, "Korra?" He said. Korra turned and smiled "oh hey Shawn what's up?" She said as she got closer, "the Emperor is talking with your dad right now" Shawn replied. "Really? How're they getting along I heard the Emperor is..strange" Korra said, "don't know a bunch of political stuff" Shawn replied. Then the doors opened and Vader stepped out "what is going on out here" he asked sternly, "Oh uh Lord Vader this is Avatar Korra", Shawn said "Korra this is Lord Vader" he added. Vader turned to Korra and said "it's an honor Avatar Korra", "thank you sir" Korra said shakily,

Vader said "the Emperor has yet to gain the support of the Chief in the meantime Hand Mendes return to Coruscant". "Of course Lord Vader" Shawn replied and Vader walked back in, "well I guess I'd better get going hope you get better Korra" Shawn said, "oh uh good luck" Korra replied in a almost depressed tone.

Coruscant, Imperial Palace
Shawn was worried about Camilla so he made his way to the cell where she was being held, "hold on" the familiar deep voice said, Shawn turned around and it was the Grand Inquisitor, "I've yet to get the information about the Jedi from her" the Inquisitor said stepping past him opening the door and shutting it, Shawn looked in the viewport as the Inquisitor removed his mask, "tell me about the Jedi where are they"Nash asked in a calm tone, " I don't know" Camilla said, " you're lying but yet the Jedi gave you a lightsaber you a simple celebrity" Nash said before he said a little quieter "you know I take whatever I want" then held his hand out resting beside Camilla's with the deep rumble sound and a pained look on her face,

"I see you're scared, scared to leave...and Shawn" he said chuckling slightly, "you feel like he's the brother you never had he would've disappointed you" Nash continued, Shawn was troubled by this almost possessed demeanor Nash had, "get out of my head!" Camilla practically yelled, Nash backed up his hand still extended "I know you've seen the Jedi its in there and now you'll give it to me" Nash said moving his hand and Camilla gasped in pain a little "I'm not giving you anything" she said shaking her head. "We'll see" Nash said turning his hand, Camilla gasped and seemed to be pulled closer, then she pushed forward and said "you're scared that you'll never see your home again" Camilla said, Nash dropped his arm and had an angered look on his face before picking up his mask and storming out.

Shawn didn't dare speak up as Nash passed him, then he went in. "You ok?" He asked in a worried tone, "yeah I'm ok can you get me outta here?" Camilla asked, " yeah but then what I can't just walk you out without saying why" Shawn said, "what'd they do to him?"  Camilla asked in a hushed tone, "I don't know something but I'll find out" Shawn said before he backed up, "good luck" Camilla said before he closed the door.
