2016, tensions rising between The Republic and The Separatists. More and more star systems were joining Count Dooku. The Jedi are spread thin across the galaxy. This worried Master Yoda, Master Windu and Jay. One thing he saw when he looked up Earth, In America, back in the 1860's, the southern states secede from The Union after Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 Presidential Election. To him, he feels like The American Civil War. One day, after the assassination attempt on Senator Padme Amidala, he, along with Jedi Masters Kit Fisto, Luminara Unduli with her apprentice, Barriss Offee, Yoda, Plo Koon, Ki Ad Mundi, and Mace Windu had a meeting with Chancellor Palpatine about the issue involving The Confederacy Of Independent Systems. With the Jedi spread across the galaxy, They would have enough to protect The Republic. The words Master Windu said played in his mind. "We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers." said Master Windu. After the meeting with the chancellor, Jay return to the temple with the masters. He found a nice quiet, and empty, hallway and be alone and think. He stood there, looking out of the temple window, gazing at the city buildings and watching the speeders fly by. As he continue to gaze, he was split of what will or might happen. One half was thinking about this might be the last time he would see this city, his Homeworld when war comes. The other half is thinking of different time, where there is no crime and war. He envisioned a time where Count Dooku is a Jedi again and some of The Jedi, that have fallen, alive again. Sadly, that vision will never come true. At the Jedi Archives, Jay was looking up Earth again. He was learning about a man named Walt Disney until he saw Master Kenobi coming in to the archives. He stopped in front of the bust of Dooku and studied it. Then, he saw Jocasta Nu, Jedi Librarian, tended to Master Kenobi. Mind, Jay wasn't the one for eavesdropping. But, he couldn't help but listening in one the conversation. He heard Obi Wan was looking for a planet called Kamino. He got this information from his friend Dexter Jettster. Sadly, It did not appear. She said it doesn't exist, but Obi Wan didn't believe it, suggested that her records could be incomplete. Somewhat miffed, Jocasta reiterated her belief that if an item was not in the Archives, it did not exist, and strode away to assist a young Padawan, named Zett Jukassa, who had just arrived. Not to get in trouble with Master Nu, Jay quickly look at the screen to avoid be scolded. Looking up, he saw Kenobi, leaning back in his seat, staring at the map, where Kamino should be. To Jay, he felt like getting up and help Master Kenobi with his investigation to find his missing planet. He later found out that it was Dooku who erased Kamino from the Archives. Later on the day, Jay was training with a Training Droid. He was sharping up his Lightsaber combat skills in case a battle was coming this way. Just then, Master Windu came in asking Jay to come with him. He was heading to Federal District. He heard, along the way to see the Chancellor, that Master Kenobi, along with Senator Amidala and Padawan Skywalker, were taken prisoner on Geonosis. Story goes Master Kenobi tracked a bounty hunter named Jango Fett from Kamino. According to Master Kenobi's report, The Kaminoians used Jango as a template for a clone army for The Republic. There was also the introduction of female troopers; created by using Vinare Marr Nedlene's DNA. This commission was by Jedi Master Sifo Dyas, who died almost 10 years ago. This deeply puzzled Jay. Why did Master Sifo Dyas want an army for the Republic and why wasn't The Jedi known of this? I'm afraid that those answers will come in time. Once arriving at The Senate Building, Jay and Master Windu, along with Master Yoda watched Naboo Representative Jar Jar Binks propose to give emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine. With that, Palpatine authorizes the formation of the Grand Army of The Republic, Windu led a Jedi assault team to Geonosis in order to rescue Kenobi, Skywalker and Senator Amidala while Master Yoda moved to take command of the clone troopers on Kamino. Just in the nick of time, Master Windu and his team arrived in time to save Kenobi and his friends.

Master Windu ignited his lightsaber and held the blade at Jango Fett's throat while Jay ignited one of his lightsabers and held it at Viceroy Nute Gunray's throat. At that moment, Count Dooku turn around and faced my master. He said to master "How pleasant of you to join us." To which he replied "This party's over." Then, one after another, Jedi ignited their lightsabers, Blue and green blades, with a few yellow and purple blades, popped up from everywhere." Brave." Dooku began. "But foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're possibly outnumbered." Windu smirked at the count and told him. "I don't think so." "We'll see" The Count retorted. Then, Jay felt like something coming. He heard the sound of heavy, clanking footsteps coming from down the hall. Looking down the hall, he saw the silhouette of two large droids. "MASTER!" Jay shouted. He looked down the hall and saw two Super Battle Droids coming down, firing. Together, they blocked and deflected the shouts. Then Suddenly, Jango attacked with his wrist-mounted flamethrower, unleashing a stream of flames at my Windu and Jay. Luckily, they leapt from the box and into the arena, throwing off our burning cloaks after landing unharmed. Just then, an wave of B1, and B2, Battle Droids poured into the arena and charged towards them. The rest of Jedi jumped down and counter attacked, a sea of green, blue, purple and yellow blades crashed into the droids like a ocean wave hitting the shore. All around him, Jedi and droids fell. He ran to an opening, blocking and deflecting blaster fire on the way. During the battle, Jay stopped along side a girl who was the same age as him. The girl had long brown hair, blue eyes, tan robes, black tarbards, tan obi, tan pants, brown belt and brown boots. What he didn't know this yet, the girl he fought along side was his twin sister, Alex Lyon. He didn't sense a connection between him and her at that time. He was focus on the battle and saving his life and those around him. At the moment, Jango Fett enter the arena, where he confronted Master Windu. Windu retrieved his lightsaber with the Force before Jango Fett could get to it. Suddenly, A rampaging reek, one of the creatures that had been let loose to execute the prisoners and was still loose, disrupted their battle and trampled Jango. The Reek turned around and charged at Jango, but he killed it with a swift blast to the head, With his jetpack was damaged with the reek's attack, Jango had no choice but to fight. He fire shots at Master Windu as he rushed at him. What Fett did was proved futile, leading him to attempt to gain space by jetting away. The jetpack upon which he relied failed to fire due to damage sustained from his earlier encounter with the reek, leaving him vulnerable to Windu's decapitating strike. Jango's lifeless body fell the grounds of the Geonosian arena. That left both Jay and Vinare horrified by Mace's actions. So, too, was Jango's son, or a clone he regarded as a son, named Boba. If only Vinare of Jay would intervene, Jango would have lived and be of use to the Republic and continue to make clones for the Republic. But, what's done is done.
