A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

Ten Years Into The Empire

2029, ten years after The Fall of the Republic and The Rise of the Empire. The Galactic Empire continues to spread it's evil, fascist venom across the galaxy. While it grew, so too did resistance group. Jay, America and her allies monitor the Empire closely after fighting the Empire, six years ago. Following the battle, America and her allies agreed to supply the Republic Freedom Fighters; sending them supplies and sending Clones. In the works, the U.S. is building Battle Droids, excluding Tactical Droids; fearing of Droid Uprising and rebirth of the Separatist Alliance.

Six years after the birth of Maelle, Akira and Mace, Jay became a proud father. When it comes to missions, Jay and Mollbry, including Sakura, Keeve and Alex, would take turns raising the kids. But, there was one mission that would hit Jay to his core. Jay was with Mollbry, along with Alex, Sakura and Keeve & their children. They were watching them train and later play and chase each other. They were taking a break from their training to become Jedi. Hiding in the trees with a pair of macrobinoculars, Barriss Offee watches the young Lyon kids play and train. Barriss heard of the birth of Jay's children and wanted to do something nice for them, without being seen by Jay; remembering his warning and her word to keep her distance. Under the cover of darkness, while Jay and his family slept, Barriss left a bag of toys for the children as a show of good faith. When Jay found out from Sasuke Uchiha, who was reported to President Lyons, he confronted her after he hurls the bag on the ground, at her feet. "I want you to stay away from them. We don't anything from you, Barriss." Jay said. "They are just toys, Master." Barriss replied, as she picked the bag up. "It was for your children. I mean you no harm." "I get that." Jay retorted "But, it's a lot for than that than you think." "I understand how you feel, Master." Barriss began. "You have every right to be angry with me. What I did, I can not undo. I have learned from my mistaken and you need to see that. As for your children, They need to know that there is a big world out there." "I am asking you..." Jay reiterated. "You leave us alone, Barriss. I mean it. Don't make me repeat myself." "Are they okay? Did anything happen to them?" Barriss asked. "You don't care if you're okay, Barriss." Jay said, turning to face her. "You care that they're showing. I know that they are showing." "And I wish to help out. I want to see them become Jedi." Barriss respond. "Then what..." Jay countered. "Betray them like you did with Ahsoka; after you bombed the temple." Barriss froze to hear her own deed quoted by Jay, and was overcome with penitence and grief. She knows he can't forgive her what she did. "Ahsoka left the order because of you, Barriss." Jay began. "And I won't let you make the same mistake twice. So leave them with their family where they belong." And with that, he walks away.

Later that evening, Jay was watching the sunset at Fort America. Mollbry came up to see him. Mollbry was told of what happened through Master Windu. She came up to him and comfort him. She tells him that he should not be to hard on Barriss and what she did is just being nice. He can't stay mad at her forever and give her a chance. Jay knew she was right and apologizes for what happened. Then, Brigadier General Jec of The 76th Legion came up to report to Jay that he has a message from Bail Organa. He said that Leia was kidnapped and is head to Daiyu. Obi Wan and Siri Tachi went to rescue her and bring her home. He feared they may need some help. Jay, worried and concerned for the safety for his children, his nieces and nephew, pondered on Bail's plea. He promised to be there for the kids and would NEVER abandon them. But, he does not want Leia, Obi Wan or Siri hurt or harmed by the Empire. Knowing he couldn't sit by, he decided to help him. Alex, Keeve and Sakura would join him, along with their clone units. Jaysuki Lyonsaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha also joined Jay on this mission. Master Windu would stay behind and watch over Mollbry and the kids. Later that night, Jay crept into the kid's room and gently kissed all three of them on the forehead, a promise to come back. He even stopped by Mollbry and they share a kiss for luck. Jay, his sisters and their troops boarded their star destroyers and set off to a secret Republic Freedom Fighters base on Florrum. They were met by Commander Kain Riddash, cousin of Jaden Riddash. He briefed them on on the encounter on Daiyu and heard through comm channels that an old man and a child fled Imperial Forces on Daiyu, fleding on a cargo ship; heading to Mapuzo. He added that General Bastion is there with a woman named Tala Durith, an Imperial Captain. Jay said they will check it out. Riddash agreed and had their clone troops sent to Jabiim; because there is a group called the Hidden Path stationed there. They are to go there and stay hidden from the Empire. Jay agreed and prepared to head out to Mapuzo. Riddash stopped him before they can set off. He stated that they can't be seen in Jedi Robes. He tasked his sergeant, named Artso, and some troops to bring them Stormtrooper armor. As a precaution, Jay, his sisters and Britt took their lightsabers and had them hidden in their armor.
