Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

Clouds of War Gather Once More

Sakura arrived on The Samurai Bridge with the intention to kill Sasuke So Naruto doesn't have to shoulder a heavy burden. She told them that she had 'deserted' The Leaf and is coming with him. Lyons, shocked by this, tried to reason with her; telling her that the Sasuke she knows is dead. If she had joined her, they would have walked down a path of destruction. Sasuke, taking this an opportunity, ask Sakura to kill Karin and serve as her replacement. Replacement? Does that mean he learned a thing or two from Count Dooku?

Before the battle, Sasuke explained his plan for the world and The Alliance between The Jedi, The Hidden Leaf & The 13 Court Guard Squad. He planed on slaughtering the entire village, kill the entire Jedi Order, wipe out it's Clone Army & execute the entire 13 Court Guard Squad. All to make them feel the same hatred he felt. Sakura drew her kunai and walked towards the injured Karin. But, she froze. Knowing she was injured, she couldn't kill her. Karin told Sasuke not to do it, as he fired up his chidori. Luckly Kakashi came just in time and kick Sasuke away. Lyons ignited his lightsaber and swung at Sasuke, attacking him for attempting to kill Sakura. When that didn't work, Lyons pulled out his hidden blade and made an attempt to kill him. Sasuke, seeing the attack coming, deflect the strike and then grabbed Lyons. Breaking his blade from his gauntlet, he stabbed Lyons in the leg and later kicked him back to Sakura and Kakashi. Jay saw lightsaber in the air. Using The Force, he caught it and summoned it to him. After that, Kakashi tried to reason with Sasuke, but to no avail. He was brainwashed my Madara, after knowing the truth he told him. 

Kakashi told Sakura to take Karin and heal her. Lieutenant Niriko Katazumi picked up The Injured General Lyons, where she removed the blade and healed his leg. During this, Jay asked Lyons about the lightsaber he has. He said it was gifted to him by Lieutenant Katazumi who said she got it from a Jedi, a male Lasat. Jay learned of a Jedi, named Bugen Truneot, who died years ago, before the alliance between The Jedi, 13 Court Guard Squad and Hidden Leaf was formed. According to Lasat tradition, The warrior way of the Lasat, known as the Boosahn Keeraw, said if Lasat was bested by a superior opponent in combat, they would give them their weapon. Then Jay saw Sasuke's Lightsaber and he took it to be examined. Then, Sasuke attacked Kakashi and Yukari and the three engaged and a fierce battle. Throughout the fight, Sasuke called Yukari a traitor for siding with The Leaf and has no right to have The Sharingan and said Kakashi has no right to have The Sharingan, which was gifted to him by his deceased comrade, Obito Uchiha. Jay and his troops watched the fight carefully. He would later recalled the experience at The Samurai Bridge.

"Sasuke unleashed his Susanoo, a gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the user's chakra which surrounds them and fights on their behalf. I dug deep into this power and learned that has been handed down throughout all the generations of the Uchiha Clan, starting with Indra Ōtsutsuki, the first born son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Sage of Six Paths. I recently learned that Sasuke's older brother, Itachi Uchiha used it when they fought. Then, Sparky called out to me and, like a flash, Sakura, in her unstable mental state, joins the battle. She starts attacking Sasuke from behind, but ultimately can't bring herself to harm him and cries at her own failure. Then, Sensing her, Sasuke grabs her by the throat, takes her kunai, and prepares to kill her with it. Some of my troopers aimed their blasters to either disarm, or kill, Sasuke. Lyons, too, was among them. But, I ordered them to stand down, just as Naruto arrived and saved Sakura from death. Sasuke confesses to killing Danzō and plans to do the same to his former teammates, The Jedi, The Soul Reapers and the village. I was horrified for what he will do. If that was to happen, Any surviving Jedi, along with The Clone Army, Soul Reaper & Shinobi of The Hidden Leaf would have form an army and have him brought to justice or bring him down for this thought. If it was me, I would never so my face anywhere.". - Jay Lyon August 12th, 2018.

After briefly fighting, Naruto and Sasuke talk and conclude that only they are suitable to fight each other, which they will do at some future date; Sakura is upset once again that her resolve isn't as strong as theirs and she decides to trust Naruto and Sasuke in fulfilling her dream of Team 7 having a happy ending. After Sasuke leaves with Tobi, Naruto passes out from the poison of her kunai and a panicked Sakura gives him the antidote. Troops of 76th took Karin into custody, where she would be questioned by The Hidden Leaf. Jay helped up General Lyons and, together, they traveled back to The Hidden Leaf. Along the way, They fought Sai, Kiba & Rock Lee, where Sakura then uses an antidote to wake them up. After returning to the village, Naruto meets with the Konoha 11 as soon as they're back to tell them his decision, which Sakura defends when some of them accuse Naruto of being unrealistic, but is concerned about Naruto and Sasuke's promise to fight to the death. General Lyons reported to General Lincoln and a couple of Assassin's about Danzō and his failure to kill him since Sasuke claimed responsibility He also said he fought Sasuke. Jay was there, watching the meeting. One of them told him that it wasn't his fault, but they were grateful that the alliance is saved and he was alive. When they asked about the lightsabers. Jay stepped in and said one belonged to a Jedi and the other was gifted to Sasuke by Count Dooku. Lyons had some training when he fought Sasuke, but he said he had much to learn. He agreed to train him in Lightsaber Combat, show he encounter anyone who wielded a Lightsaber, excluding Force Wielders. They agreed and John was sworn in as a member of The Assassin Brotherhood. 

After he was sworn in, Jay took John to be train. As Jay and General Lyons return to camp, The men greeted their general. Jay noticed the concerned look on Lyons's face. Two things were playing on his mind. The fate of Sasuke Uchiha and Tsunade in her coma. He feared Tsunade could die if she remains in her coma and Naruto and Sakura will never forgive him if he killed Sasuke. Jay reassured him that it will never happen. He knows he wants to stop Sasuke as bad as him. He stated by saying "Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to.". Lyons knows Jay was right. He looked to his men, talking among themselves, laughing at their jokes, or stories & drilling. He knows they have faith in him and he has faith in them. Deep down, he doesn't want to hurt Sakura and Naruto. Sasuke was their friend, their comrade. And, deep down, he can be saved if he knows the truth.

Then, A Clone Trooper of The Coruscant Guard entered the camp of The 1st Militia informing both Lyons and Jay the news of a sudden change. That change was Tsunade, who regained consciousness and will resume her role as Hokage. This brought great relief to Jay and those around him. Word of Tsunade's recovery spread like wildfire. And now, The Hidden Leaf must prepare for war. The troops of The 1st Pennsylvania & The 114th Regiment began drilling & Jay began his training in Lightsaber Combat & as an Assassin. The Clone Garrison train in case of an attack towards the village. Jay, and the other Jedi who which they command their units, observed their training. Once Dooku heard Tsunade regained consciousness, he sent Battle Droids and three Sith Warriors to aid The Akatsuki in their fight. Now, thus begin the countdown to war, The war will go down in history as The Fourth Great Ninja War.
