Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

A Lost Uchiha and Ōtsutsuki

A few weeks after The Mission at Thunder Mesa, but, like Gracey Mansion, the events will plague The 1st, Jay among them. The Battle of Umbara happened. Jedi Master Pong Krell was executed for treason against The Republic. Colonel Val Barrwinn, who conspired with Pong Krell, was arrested and charged with treason. She was stripped her rank and sent to prison for her actions. Reports indicated that she began after The Battle of Jabiim. She lost good friends in the bloody battle and formed a deep hatred to The Jedi as well as The Clones. At Umbara, she revealed her true colors to Rex, Fives, Jesse and those who captured her and Krell. She continued to hate The Jedi and Clones until the day she died. Waxer would survive Umbara. Val's Sister, Zasha Barrwinn, and her partner, and close friend, Kras Paderenn, were promoted for their actions in capturing her Treasonous Val. Kras was promoted to Brigadier and Zasha was promoted to Marshal Commander. Jay wrote to The Clones of The 212th and The 501st, who suffered heavy casualties, expressing his deepest condolences. Jay, like most Jedi, sees Clones as individuals; people who have thoughts, ideas and dreams like any other person. 

But, there is good new, The Republic announced to make Battle Droids to fight for The Republic. The idea was inspired by B1-0516, nicknamed Bats, who's processor, during The Battle of Horain, was short-circuited by a stray blaster bolt. With the damage done, it caused B1-0516 to fight with the Republic army. He would escape on join Alex's 501st Company, Thrasher Company. Like The Vinare Clones, and The Female Jango Fett Clones, The Republic Battle Droids will play a key role against Palpatine's plan.

Jay was visiting The Hidden Leaf, helping his good friend, Jaysuki Lyonsaki, and his team, train. After hours of training, They took a break so they can build up for another round. Jay was telling Isaribi, Yumiko and Aki about the first time he fought at The First Battle of Geonosis until Sakura appeared, sayin Lady Tsunade wants to see him and Jaysuki. Confused, They went to see her. At First, They thought Naruto needed help with his training. But, it wasn't. She got reports of Separatist movement near the border of The Hidden Stone Village. Their job is to take care of the pending threat and contact The Republic when it is done. Without any delay, they sent off. Jay recorded his the experience on the journey to the border.

"I noticed the look on Jaysuki's face. He is excited; reminds me of Tom Wilson from The Red Badge of Courage. In the book, The 304th New York Infantry Regiment was ordered to move out to fight The Confederate. Going up the river, cut across and come around in, behind them. But now, without The 1st Militia, it's just Jay and Jaysuki; a mission just between two best friends. I'm glad Jaysuki is my friend. To me, I will always call him my brother. - Jay Lyon March 5th, 2018.

But, I fear it was no longer a mission between friends. Along the way, Jay sensed a presence, hidden in the tree line. Jaysuki unslings in rifle and points it in the direction to which Jay pointed. Then, stepping out of the woods, was a hooded figure, holding a wounded, and unconscious Kunoichi from The Hidden Stone. The unconscious Kunoichi was Kurotsuchi, future Fourth Tsuchikage. She was wounded in the leg following her attack on a Separatist patrol. Jay signaled Jaysuki to stand down and lend a hand. They were taken to a safe house, deep in the woods. Guarding the perimeter, were four teams of clone commandos, both male and female. two of the commando teams would fight alongside Jay and Jaysuki during The Galactic Civil War. They were informed on the droid movement near The Hidden Stone. Once Kurotsuchi woke up, she was informed while being treated for her injuries and agreed to help out. Jay recalled.

"Before we could go on our way to The Hidden Stone, both Jaysuki and Kurotsuchi went at it; being that The Hidden Leaf and The Hidden Stone I had been enemies. During the Third Great Ninja War, The Hidden Stone fought The Hidden Leaf across The Hidden Grass. Although They were  winning the war for a time, the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge cut off its supply line, turning the war in Hidden Leaf's favour. In one fight, The Hidden Leaf's Yellow Flash defeated 1,000 Stone shinobi in a single battle, prompting Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, to surrender. I stepped in and broke them out, acting both like a referee and a parent. Once things died down, they went on their way." - Jay Lyon March 5th, 2018.

Once there, they quietly made their way inside a makeshift outpost, taking out droids as they go along. Reaching an opening, We found the one behind the operation; Echore Medina, Count Dooku's most trusted assassin after replacing Asajj Ventress. Jay jumped down from the shadows and ignited his sabers. Echore did the same and attacked. As they fought, Jay could something different about her. Jay descripted the Echore's conflicted feelings.

"As we fought, I sensed a great conflict inside her; as if she was seeing the light for the first time in a long time. Earlier, during the clone war, she encountered both my twin sister and my younger sister, but she didn't know that at the time. During the war, she found love and develop feelings for a man named Bril Hardu from Corellia, which, of course, brought her further to the light; Brill too. She, at the time, kept it hidden from Dooku. As we continue to duel, Clone troops enter, surrounding the perimeter of their duel. I disarmed her and, at the moment, she  surrendered to me. She asked not to be a prisoner, but to be let go in an exchange for the 'package' that was going to be delivered to Dooku. She said it was going to be a present to Dooku and to help turn the tide. She also said she will gather what is left of her troops, pull out and never return. Reluctant, I agreed to her terms; allowing her to leave with her life and the lives of her troops. She left the package for me and the others to have. Back then, I don't know if I should call it good faith or a random act of kindness." - Jay Lyon March 5th, 2018.

Upon examining the package, it appears to be a stasis chamber. Careful, Private Flaker approach the chamber and opened it, revealing a pale-skinned young woman with extremely long, grey hair. She is an Ōtsutsuki, a member of the branch family. She goes by the name Yusagi and is not those who are after Tailed Beasts, but to protect them. But, that wasn't the only surprise that came out of this mission. During a struggle with a couple of BX Commando Droids, The girl Jay and Jaysuki encountered is an Uchiha. Her cloak was destroyed during the struggle, revealing her robes from The Uchiha Clan; also bearing The Sharingan. Her name is Yukari and she said her mother was sparred from The Slaughter of The Uchiha Clan. Jaysuki told Yukari about what happened, regarding The Hidden Leaf and Jay told Yusagi about what has transpired while she was in stasis. After hearing them, They pledge their support for The Hidden Leaf and became Shinobi of The Hidden Leaf. Yukari joins The 1st Militia and serves as General Lyons's scout. Kurotsuchi returned to The Hidden Stone. But, she would meet Jay and Jaysuki again, during The Fourth Great Ninja War.

After returning home from The Hidden Leaf, and reporting to Lady Hokage and General, Jay tuned in to The News. Waxer fully recovered and was promoted to Captain. Boil, following rhe battle of Umbara, was promoted to Lieutenant. Savage found his long lost, and was supposed by be dead, Darth Maul and reenters the galactic stage in order to seize revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi. The U.S. Congress received a simple of Jango's and Vinare's DNA to clone soldiers for their military. They chose and facility to begin cloning. These clones will grow and age like normal human beings. Like The Republic Droids and Vinare Clones, These American Clones would be a thorn in Palpatine's plan. Like The Clones of The Republic, They were trained in that same style.

After the news, Jay decided to go up to the top of the fort and gaze at the night sky. As he gaze at the night sky, he wondered what waits for him, his Jedi Brethren, his allies and his comrades of The 1st. One thing is certain, The Force will guide him.
