A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

Joining A Militia Unit

Some time had passed since Boz Pity, Jay attend several missions with the Hidden Leaf, the Soul Reapers and the Jedi. March 21st, 2017. On that date, it would change Jay's live forever and would continue his role as a Jedi Commander. One fine spring day, Jay was training; sharping up his skills with his lightsabers and his skills with the Force. Once his training is complete, he decided to take a walk to stretch his legs.

While on his walk in Lafayette Squad, named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and hero of the American Revolutionary War, Jay bumped into a man in a blue uniform. At first, he thought he may be a Civil War Living Historian who just finished up a demonstration at a nearby Civil War Fort. He was a twenty one year old man with brown hair, brown beard and blue eyes. He wore a blue kepi with an Infantry Insignia, a Union Major General's Coat with Special Custom Modern U.S. General Insignias, Modern U.S. Army General Dress Pants, with a custom mixture of a gold trim with a Infantry Blue trim running down the middle of gold trim on the sides, He wore Leather Brogans, wore a gold sash, General Sword belt, and carrying a Field and Staff Sword. "My deepest apologies for bumping into you, General." Jay said. "I was looking where I was going.". "No trouble, buddy.". Then, he looked a him and recognize me as a Jedi. "You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?" asked the man. "I am." Jay replied "I am Jedi Knight and Commander of Zusho Clone Battalion.". "It's an honor to meet you." The General said "My name is John Lyons, General of the U.S. Army, commanding the 1st Pennsylvania Militia of Volunteers.". At first, Jay thought he was a citizen dress in Civil War Garments. But, through his research into Mr. Lyons, he found out more about Lyons. He is decorated Army hero; a Medal of Honor recipient, awarded two Purple Hearts and Bronze Star. Enlisted at seventeen, served in 102nd U.S. Infantry as a Private and later commanded The 114th U.S. Infantry with the Colonel. The 114th was regiment mixed with Army and Marine Soldiers. Now, he is commanding a Militia unit, a unit to serve The U.S. Army. As for the 1st Pennsylvania Militia of Volunteers, it is made up a soldiers that were frozen through time, serving from America's wars, from the American Revolutionary War up to the Vietnam War. The unit has a Shinobi from The Hidden Leaf and Clones, where were found in escape pod after they were under attack by Separatists forces. Lyons took them in and gave them citizenship. He told Jay that was coming back from the White House after hearing that the Pentagon approve of The new infantry militia unit in the service of the U.S. Army. Then, he ask him, since I was a Jedi Commander, to join his new unit. He said "The unit is always open to new members that are willing to fight for the U.S. and be honored to have you.". Before I could answer, I thought about what Kandra said about finding my place in the galaxy. Taking those words to heart, he agree to join. General Lyons is delighted. He told Jay that he will receive a pay of fifty dollars a month, a place to sleep, meals to eat, medical attention, all free of charge. Jay told him of his military experience at the First Battle of Geonosis, Boz Pity and many other engagements during the Clone Wars, including him commanding Zusho Battalion. He had him placed on his staff and allowed him to contact Master Kandra once we get to his fort, which resides on the outskirts of Washington D.C. As for Zusho Battalion, Lyons said the battalion is welcomed to join the 1st anytime.

General Lyons took Jay to the home of The 1st Pennsylvania, Fort America. A Post-Civil War era fort, surrounded by a moat, sitting near the famed Potomac River and guarding the entrance of Washington. This fort was constructed July 4th, 1876 and would be left abandoned on 1948, three years after WWII. It had built with a combination of plans of Forts Delaware and Jefferson with sides deflecting cannon fire. When Colonel John Lyons was traveling with General Lincoln in 2015, he saw the abandoned fort near Piscataway Park. Both Lyons and Lincoln walked inside the abandon fort and saw potential. Everything inside and outside the fort was still intact. After inspection the fort with the Army Corps of Engineers, he asked Congress to restore Fort America and bring it back to military services. It was approved and refurbishment got underway. It was completed on March 25th, 2016 and in property of 1st Pennsylvania and the 114th Regiment. As a special tribute to America, Lyons commissioned a special flag to fly over the fort and one for his office. A 50 star American Flag with gold stars and red, white and blue stripes. When Jay arrived at the fort, he was astonished. He felt like he stepped back in time and felt like seeing Soldiers march past him. He was soon given a tour of the fort, to know his way around, and soon met his troops. Once he arrived at the Soldier's Barracks, Jay introduced himself to the 114th and the 1st & told them that he will fight alongside them as their Jedi Commander. He manage to sit down and got to know some of the troops of the 1st Pennsylvania. Johnathon Baum, a Sergeant of General Lyons's staff, was a veteran of The 1st Pennsylvania Rifles was a member of General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben's Model Company during The Valley Forge Encampment from 1777 to 1778. Private Johnathon Baum, going by the nickname '1812', was transferred to a regiment temporary and was at the Battle of Baltimore, site of the battle of Fort McHenry and the origin of the Star Spangled Banner. Private Johnny Baum went up against the famed Saint Patrick's Battalion, a battalion made up of American Soldiers who deserted and join The Mexican Army. The Lyons Brothers, Johnathon Benjamin Lyons and James Edmund Lyons, serving in The 96th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, later transferred to The 100th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment and John Mason Lyons and Jake Matthew Lyons were conscripted in The 9th Virginia Infantry Regiment, fought against each other in The Civil War. Private Johnny Matthew Lyons served in The 7th U.S. Infantry in some of the major battle of World War I, when America got involved. Private Johnny Benjamin Maleno fought and served some of the Second World War when he served in 7th U.S. Infantry, later transferred to The 12th U.S. Infantry, when America entered & Private John Benjamin Lyons survived the jungles of Vietnam when he served in the 16th U.S. Infantry in the Vietnam War. I met Private 9.6, which was a clone of General Lyons, who turned against his creators and was severely wounded in the battle. The Army brought him in, patched him up and gave him cybernetics. Their stories intrigue him and can't wait to know more about this men. After Jay met the troops, he headed to a place that will be his new chambers. Once there, he headed to the window and looked out. He could see Washington D.C. from his window, sitting there across The Potomac. After gazing, He looked around his new chambers and got to know the layout of his new home. He soon met a Hidden Leaf Shinobi named Jaysuki Lyonsaki, with the rank of First Sergeant of The 1st Pennsylvania. Jaysuki looks just like him, minus the cybernetic arm. He wore a Hidden Leaf flak jacket, which also has a red swirl on the back, and pockets on the chest area, a blue Hidden Leaf Headband, blue pants, and a blue long-sleeve shirt. On his long-sleeve shirt, he has Civil War Union Infantry First Sergeant Insignias. He also wears fingerless gloves with no metal plates on the backhand. He has a Civil War Waist belt, with cap pouch and bayonet. He carries an 1855 Colt Revolving Rifle, which he got from General Lyons after he joined. He noticed him as a Jedi and excitedly shoke my hand. He introduced himself at Jaysuki Lyonsaki and is glad to work alongside him. Jay replied with a smile and patted him on the back. It was there that he and Jaysuki became the best of friends. More than friends; Brothers.

Later that evening, Jay was on the top of the fort, standing at a restored 8 inch Columbiad Cannon, gazing at Washington. He couldn't help by admiring the view. The next day, While Jay adverse the training of his new troops, far away, Alex, his sister, joins Anakin's 501st Clone Legion, as a Lieutenant Commander. Before joining, her master, Jedi Master Saesee Tiin, told her the truth about Jay. He told her that Jay and Alex are brother and sister, separated after their parents were taken by Darth Phantom. Sadden by this, Alex chose to honor them and kept legacy alive. During the Battle of Christophsis, Alex met her young sister, named Keeve Lyon; who became Obi Wan Kenobi's apprentice. Jay learned, one month later, The Republic received intel that Lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki was facing execution and keep the thoughts of her friends deep in his thoughts. He didn't take part in that invasion, fearing he might fracture the alliance between the Jedi, Ninja and Soul Reapers. She was saved by Ichigo Kurosaki and Anakin Skywalker. Anakin exposed it as a Separatist plot and one of their own betrayed them to Dooku. The man who betrayed them was Sosuke Aizen. During this event, two clone trooper, who was force sensitive, saved a Jedi and fought two Sith Warriors. Jay researched the identity of the clone and his name is Bullseye, CT - 1774, and Hera, FCT - 2535. At first, they thought it was impossible, seeing Jango Fett, the template of the male clones, and Vinare, the template for the female clones, isn't force sensitive. Research showed Bullseye and Hera's DNA split during their growth cycle. After this, Yoda took both of them under his wing and trained to be a Jedi.
