The First to Fall (Star Wars X Male Reader) [SOON TO BE WORKED ON AGAIN]

Voiceless Figurehead

I wake up exceptionally late this morning, fuck I'm late. I rush to get ready for the day of working out. A shower, brushing my teeth, the whole shebang. All to get ready to train, I've planned a meditation session with master Yoda himself.

I finally finish my shower, check to make sure my blaster is hidden. Get into some workout clothes, then walk to the training grounds. I work out legs today, I've been putting it off for a while, and I can't have twig legs while being a peacekeeper for the galaxy.

While I'm doing what I do, I start getting lost in thought, I'm still worried sick for Ahsoka, but I know that there isn't anything I can do for her. I just decide that I'm going to better myself in her absence. Unfortunately, my workout is interrupted by a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes?" I say with a slightly irritated tone until I see her.
"Ahsoka! It's so great to see you!" I yell as I hug her.
"Y-Yep, here I am." She says with her lekku slightly darker than usual. She's blushing?
"I was worried sick, you know that?" I start scolding her after I put her down.
"Sorry, but I got captured by some Trandoshan hunters." She tells me.
"I wish I could have done something for you, Ahsoka."
"I know you do but let's look on the bright side."
"Okay, but let me know if I can do anything and I mean that, Ahsoka."
"I will, but all I need right now is a shower."
"Fair enough."

I stay silent and just keep hitting legs. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I wasn't born force sensitive, would I still be on Serenno? Would I be living up a life of luxury? Or would I be the adventurous type? The classic test of Nature V Nurture. I wonder what job I would do if I ever had to leave the Jedi Order, I would probably do something to do with combat.

But enough about what-ifs you know? Time to work on cardio, can't run out of stamina on a mission, unless you feel like dying. Anyway, I haven't actually done many missions with the 327th, I've not heard many things about the things we do, but I have heard we are gonna have a new campaign on a planet called Zand? Don't think I've ever heard of it.

I pick up my pad and take a glance at the time, about time to head back and get ready for meditation with master Yoda, so I take a post workout shower and get into my robes, then finally, I get walking towards Master Yoda's meditation room. When I knock, Yoda already senses something wrong, but he says "Come in, you shall, Young Y/N."

So I do just that, I come in and sit in one of the chairs he isn't using, and start meditating.

"Something wrong, there is, padawan Y/N." He says.
"I'm just nervous about the war, I mean, what happened the last time the Jedi got involved in a war? Both the Exile and Revan came back." I explain.
"Then be better than them, you must." He says, simply.
"But how do I do that?" I ask.
"Find out for yourself, you will."
"I must think on this."
"For that, meditation is."

So, we meditate for a while. I'm distracted by all my worries because of this, thank the force for this. The Temple? Why am I here? Then I see him, me. Except he's older, bleeding from his wrists that have their skin not just cut, but torn and pushed down to the middle of my hand, his chest, covered in scars, he even has a few on his throat. He is also topless, extremely muscular.

He opens his mouth to speak but he's missing a tongue. A lightsaber is hanging from his belt, it has a strange semi circle guard around the hilt. He looks beaten up, tortured, just really fucked up. His words start echoing in my brain.

"Wow, I really did look pitiful as a kid."
"Kid?!"
"You're 15."
"How do you know that?!"
"How don't you know that? Your eyes, there was only one time I visited and had your eyes, I remember them, I'm thirty year old you."
"The war lasts until I'm as old as you?!! AND I GET CAPTURED?!!!" I scream out in our brains.
"Yeah, more or less, and please try to tone down the screaming, though, okay?"
"Why did you bring me here?" I ask.
"Look kid, I didn't even know I could still access this place, I don't know how I'm even speaking right now, with the whole lack of a tongue." Yeah, how is he doing that?

I take a look around me and see The Temple is in ruins, corpses of Jedi, even younglings, burn marks all over the room that we're in. Fear courses through me.

"If you're about to ask if I did this, then that would be a no, but I was here when it happened. It was worse than you are and can imagine. It's a palace now, the temple. I've been inside it recently, but I still can't see it as anything other than this."
"How do I prevent this?!" I yell.
"You don't." He simply says.
"Wh-What?"
"You cannot and will not stop this, it happens, I did not change this, and I tried as hard as I possibly could. You will not stop this. Have your fun while you still can, you'll look like me before you know it." He tells me coldly.

I break from the meditation right as Yoda does the same. He yawns and climbs down from his chair.

"Places to be, you have, no?"
"Y-Yes, thanks, Master Yoda."

I exit the meditation room and make my way towards the cafeteria. I grab my food and sit down to eat, pondering the words of old man me. Then Ahsoka sits down next to me. I think she started talking to me but I wasn't listening, too enveloped in what he told me.

"Y/N? Are you alright?" Ahsoka asks, finally aware that I'm ignoring her.
"H-Huh? Oh yeah, I'm alright."
"Good. You want to spar?" She asks.
"Sure, I'll spar, if you're finally ready to lose." I trash talk at her.
"Hey! I've heard that you haven't used your lightsaber since the Kamino raid."
"What can I say? I'm a prodigy." I joke with her as I get up from the seat and walk to my room with her to retrieve my light saber.
"No you aren't, you get beat all the time."
"Nope, that is not fact."
"That is entirely factual." She answers right back.
"No, I can't believe it." I fake sadness and shock.

(

"You will, Y/N, you will."

We finally make it to my room and I get my light saber, but I take a moment to think about how I can try to stop what he said. Well, you can't be a downer forever, Ahsoka's calling me, and I'm not the type to keep her waiting.

(Hey, TFF and I are finally back after my long, long sabbatical, I hope you guys enjoy this. -VB)
