Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

Old Shadows

As the Hidden Leaf continue to rebuild and prepare for war, The troops of The Republic were resupplied with more troops and supplies. The famed Four Female Battalions arrived and reinforced The 1st. The 1st Company, now The 1st Golden Battalion, was among them to join in the fight. While the troops settled in, Lyons gathered his staff & The Jedi Generals and went over the plan of attack.

Their formation will be like Pickett's Charge Jay's troops would in the front with The 1st Militia in support, with The 1st Battalion would be In front with The 114th in support. The 1st Female Battalion would be in the front with The 2nd Female Battalion in support & The 3rd Battalion would be in the front with The 4th Battalion in Support. This maneuver was drilled over and over again in the morning. Lyons's troops used the same maneuver a Union Regiment did at Chickamauga. The Musketry Men of The 1st delivered a volley and then withdraw to reload while their comrades of The 20th Century & The Clones repeated the same process. During their drill, Lyons trained as an Assassin and in Lightsaber Combat. But, as he trained, his thoughts were of his friend, Lieutenant General Patrick Dawson. He has been done after Pain's Assault. On the morning of The 25th of September, Lyons's Corps moved out to The Headquarters of The Allied Shinobi Force, at The Hidden Cloud Village. As they marched to The Hidden Cloud, General Lyons thought about Dawson.

After the battle, Lieutenant General Patrick Dawson was taken to The Soul Society to be cured of from his nightmare from 2001, The Nine Tail Fox Attack of October 2001. He faced many demons and ghosts of his past, like re-living the attack by learning was was REALLY responsible. He found out it was Obito who used Madara Identity. Then, he faced Kushina as a reanimated shinobi and told her that what happened wasn't his fault. Lastly, he met spirit of his father who told him that he is not his father and he should not try to be him. He passed all three tests and was and found closure, thanks to the careful eye of Captain Retsu Unohana. Rangiku watched the treatment and stayed by his side, most of the time. He was informed of Danzō death and the start of The Fourth Great Ninja War. He drilled for battle when he returns to The World of The Living and battle of his troops. On a break from drilling, Rangiku visited him. Patrick, at the moment, wanted to confess his feelings towards Rangiku. 

Remember, Patrick visited Rangiku when he got a chance after Gin's death. He wanted to confess his feelings for her after the first day they met when Patrick was a Lance Corporal of The 2nd Marine Infantry Regiment, but he never got the chance. After the accidental kiss, following Pain's death, he could never get experience out of his head. In his memoirs, years later, he wrote down how he felt when he was around Rangiku Matsumoto.

"When I was taking a breather after drilling for war, I saw Rangiku coming in to check up on me. My heart was pounding. I wanted to tell her how I felt. I know, deep down, she still has feelings for Gin, but I didn't to hurt her by confessing after his death. I stuck with just being friends. But, somehow, I can't shake off the kiss after Naruto killed the last of Pain's puppets. The moment I met her, she was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Before I knew it, I was in love with her. I tried to say 'I love you' to her. But, I couldn't find the courage say it. I know deep down, I didn't want to rush anything. But, there was something telling to say it. As a wise man once said 'Never rush into relationship. Take it slow, become friends and mostly trust one another."

The 8th of October, Patrick was informed of the opening battle of The Fourth Great Ninja War. A battle is underway with Lyons and his troops. They faced a foe of reanimated Central Power German, Nazi German and Confederate Soldiers, to which The Akatsuki did it to through The Americans off, like The Reanimated Shinobi. As Patrick prepared to return, he turned to face Rangiku, ready to go. She had orders from Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya to stay by Dawson's side. The Senkaimon opened up and the two traveled to The World of The Living, to The Front. Meanwhile, Lyons and his troops are holding their own. Confederate Troops under the command of Confederate Major General James Patton Anderson put pressure on Lyons's left, where The 1st's Marines  and 114th's Marines are. The left flank began to crumble until Dawson arrived and order The Marines to rally and return fire. When The 1st Golden Battalion arrived on the field, They reinforced The Marines and pushed back The Confederates, winning the day. They rejoiced for the day is won and order troops to collect the wounded.
