A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

First Encounter With A Soul Reaper

For the next couple of years, Jay was learning fast from Master Windu. He relearned everything after losing his arm. He also learned all of his fighting forms and his force abilities, while learned new abilities. As Jay continue to train, conflict continues to grow in the galaxy. The Separatist Crisis began in the year of 2014, Star systems are joining a group called The Confederacy of Independence Systems, lead by a former Jedi Count Dooku, now Darth Tyranus. The Jedi got involve and is spread out across The Galaxy. As conflict rises, War will be on the horizon.

When The Separatist Crisis began in the year of 2014, more and more Star systems left to join The Confederacy of Independence Systems. In the wake of The Separatist Crisis, The Jedi got involve and were spread across The Galaxy and don't have many Jedi to spare. In case of a worst case scenario, The Jedi Order became allies with two group of people in late 2014. These people are Ninja from The Hidden Leaf Village & Soul Reapers. Shinobi, often called Ninja, are the primary focus and the main military power in their lands and Soul Reapers, translated to Japanese "Shinigami", are spiritual guardians to The World of The Living, That is on Earth. When The Jedi, Hidden Leaf Ninja and The Soul Reapers became allies, The Hokage, The Village leader, Thirteen Court Guard Squads wanted to know all about the Jedi and their enemy, the Sith. So, they copied, word from word, of the Jedi Artifacts and texts to be stored in their archives. Some of The Jedi Masters, even members of The Jedi High Council, ask about any Soul Reapers or Shinobi that are Force Sensitive. Sadly, They looked and found nothing. Before the alliance, they teamed up on missions to help deal with rogue ninjas, bandits and those who poses as a threat to the Hidden Leaf, the Soul Society & the Republic.

Jay's first encounter with a Soul Reaper was in the year 2015, Padawan Jay Lyon was training in lightsaber combat with Training Droids in a Padawan Training Chambers. High above on a balcony, Jedi Master Mace Windu was watching him, seeing how Jay's training put to the test. Each dodge, block and parry from Jay's purple and blue blades and the training droids blades was perfect. In a quick move, Jay sliced and cut down The Training Droids with his lightsabers, just like what his master taught him. In the middle of this mess that Jay made, Jay stood there, breathing heavily with his lightsabers ignited. There was, however, one droid left. Jay charged at the droid, blocking a few of it's attacks before he dodged and sliced off it's arm. Jay placed his hand on the droid's chest and, focusing of his power to his hand, destroying the droid. The power Jay did was called Shatterpoint. It's complex Force phenomenon, perceivable immense focus and concentration on the part of the Force user. Shatterpoints were akin to fault lines, similar to different pathways of actions. Adept Force users were able to perceive these faults through the Force, and influence them. Master Windu ended the training session and jumped down to speak to his apprentice. In response, Jay deactivated his lightsabers and took a knee to his master. Mace placed his hand on Jay's shoulder, which caused him to look up. "Well done, my apprentice. You've learned well." Windu said. "Thank you, master." Jay said as he tilted his head, facing the ground. "Rise, my apprentice." Mace said to Jay. Obeying his master's request, Jay did just that. Together, Jay and Master Windu left the Training Chamber, leaving technician to clean up and repair the droids that Jay had destroyed. "Sorry about the mess." Jay said to the technician. "It's fine" She replied "You did a wonderful job out there.". As they walk around the temple, Master Windu noticed that Jay has a confused look on his face. He was gazing out the windows of The Jedi Temple, lost in thought. "What is bothering you, my apprentice?" Mace asked Jay, who snapped out of his trans-like state and turned to his master. "I just have one question." Jay replied to his master. "I noticed I have seen these people in black robes and carrying odd weapons that I saw walking in the temple, meeting with members of The High Council....Who are they?" "So, that is bothering you." Mace said." Well, I'm glad you ask, Jay. Less than a year ago, The Jedi became allies with Ninja from The Hidden Leaf and Soul Reapers from The Soul Society." "Soul Reapers, Master?" Jay asked with curiosity. "What are these....Soul Reapers?" Mace began to tell Jay about Soul Reapers. " Soul Reapers are Spiritual Guardians to The World of The Living, That is on a planet called Earth." "I see." Jay said, understanding his master's answer. But, another question came to his mind. He asked about this planet called Earth, despite him being on Earth while being on missions with the Hidden Leaf. "Have any of these Soul Reapers stopped by the temple, master?" Jay asked. "I'm afraid I do not know." Mace replied. "They usually fight Hollows and never stop by. And, speaking of Earth, Years ago, Master Yoda told a handful of Jedi Knights and Masters to go to Earth in hopes to establish a Jedi Order there. But, on her way to Earth, they went missing and were never heard of again. Even to this way, we are still debating rather we should send Jedi to Earth or not." Jay was struck by this and felt his heart sink when he heard they story. The loss of so many Knights and Masters on their way to Earth hurt him. He chose to keep them in his memory to remember their "Sacrifice". Although, deep down, he was in favor of The Jedi on Earth. Putting those feelings aside, he wishes to know more about Soul Reapers. He thanked his master and ask permission to walked around The Federal District. What happen to him next Jay will never forget. While walking around The Federal District, Jay felt something was around the area. Was it a Sith? A rogue Jedi? Or a Separatist Attack? No, something more to it than that. I looked down an alley, which caught my eye. There, standing at the entrance of The Alleyway, is a woman with red hair. I spied Old Republic clothing on her. Then, he saw something protruding from her chest. It...looks like a chain. What could that mean? He saw people just walk right by her and not noticing her. As he walked over to see her, he got a closer look at her and saw that she is transparent. To Jay, it is impossible to see ghosts. He was told from Master Mundi said "The dead are part of The Cosmic Force and lose their individuality". But, what he saw from her is for real. As he continued to stare at her, to which he was fascinated, she smiled sweetly me. This surprised him for a moment and, in return, he smiled back at her. Before I could speak to the ghost, he felt something coming in this direction. He looked around to see where is this coming from. Look back at the ghost, he saw the Red haired woman began to feel afraid. Then, out of nowhere, a strange creature that resembles a giant spider appeared. This creature had a white head and body with black legs and a mixture of red and purple markings. It had a big black hole in it's chest and it's head resembles a giant, misshapen skull. That creature Jay saw is a Hollow. He told the ghost to run and he ignited his sabers to protect her from the Hollow. It attacked Jay, but, remembering his training, he countered and sliced off one of his it's legs before retreating to find the red-haired woman's ghost. No soon after, he found her in a disused warehouse in the Works. At first, they were safe. But, the Hollow chased them down and began to hunt for them. Concealing his presence, Jay slowly made his way up to the Hollow. Activating his lightsabers, Jay attacked and thrusted his sabers into the Hollow's back, making it scream in pain. Using The Force, He threw some boxes, nearly blinding it. Jumping off it's back, Jay charged from the front towards it and managed to make a few cuts before The Hollow could knock him down. And, Just as he was about to be devoured by the monster, a blonde haired woman in a black kimono and wielding a katana appears and vanquishes the monster. This took Jay completely by surprise. He was about nearly killed by a Hollow on Coruscant until he was saved this beautiful woman a black kimono, wielding a katana. He got up and was about to speak to her, thanking her for saving his life and the ghost's life, but she glared at me before walking away. He tried to stop and talk to her, but, sadly, He failed. He also went to see if The Red Headed Ghost is there, but she wasn't there. She was gone. He did a full swept of the entire place and found nothing. Disappointed, He return for The Jedi Temple. To Jay, it marked the very first time he encountered a Soul Reaper and fought a Hollow. On his way home, questions began to spin around my mind, "What was that creature he fought, who was that woman in black robes that saved his life and who was The Old Republic Ghost?" He will find out soon enough.
