A Jedi's Tale - The Story of Jay Lyon

Joining The Rebellion

2036. Two years ago, The Galactic Civil War has begun. With war declare between newly formed Rebel Alliance, formed since 2033, and The Galactic Empire, America and her allies remained neutral. He continue to supply the Rebels and the Republic Freedom Fighters will weapons, ship, fighters, and supplies and both Rebel and Republic Freedom Fighter Clones. While remaining neutral, President Lyons and his allies monitored the war from here.

Under Lyons's administration, the economy boomed; It tripled, later quadrupled. Jobs were created, the Middle Class soared, education strengthen , systemic racism is banned and many more. During Lyons's first term, he learned that Naruto became achieved his dream on become The 7th Hokage. He congratulated him and wished him the best of luck. Jay also received a new apprentice, named Tilana Vermi. He learned from Tilana older sister, named Fali, that her mother died of her wounds she received during Order 66. Since her death, Fali has been taking care of her before enrolling into the Jedi Order. During a sparring session, Jay sensed a lot of Anakin in her when they trained. He remembered, when he was a Padawan, he watched footage of Obi Wan and Anakin sparring. He could sensed Anakin's aggression and his need for victory. When they sparred, it felt like they were recreated the training session. Jay reminded her of Anakin and not to become him. After finishing with sparring, Jay was with his kids, meditating. Meditating is part of a Jedi training; to learn patience, to be calm, be at peace & passive. Mace, opening one of his eyes, notice a small frog. A devious thought came to Mace's mind. Without his father and anyone know, he uses the Force and levitates it towards Rex. His prank was to place a frog inside Rex's tunic. Mace fell for one of Rex's prank, involving a feather and shaving cream in his hand. Mace wanted to pay Rex out by getting back at him. Jay appears to be deep in meditation but awakes to find Mace about to open Rex's tunic and placing the frog inside. He told Mace to let go of Rex and putting the frog back in the water, to which he did. After that was done, they all return to their meditation. After the meditation session, Jay took the kids inside the fort and took Juchi & Tilana on a stroll. He told them the ins and out of being a Jedi. He told her of Yoda and his phrase, 'size matters not.'. Smiling at them, he promised them that they will be a great and powerful Jedi Knights.

The next day, Jay was parries with his lightsabers, brushing up on his training. Despite being one some missions by the Rebels, he always prepare himself incase he confronts another inquisitor or Vader, following the recent encounter with the Dark Lord weeks ago. After training, Jay was resting under the shade of the trees. Up above, Shizuka was there. She said she was gazing at Mount Vernon while Jay was training. Jay sat down with her and told her about George Washington and his home and how it came to be. As he finished a sentence on how Mount Vernon got it's name, Dogma came to see him, telling that President Lyons was to see him. With Shizuka in tow, He traveled to The White House, where Lyons was waiting for him. He received word from Master Kandra that she and Naruto proposed to have the Padawans take part in the Chunin Exam. Confused, Jay asked if it is a go idea, even with the Empire around. Lyons reassured him that the Rebel Alliance has dispatched the Ghost Crew and the Republic Freedom Fighters for protection. To lend more support, The U.S. will send battalions of Army and Marines for added security. These troops will help out with the Shinobi protecting the Village throughout the exam. He reassured Jay that his unit, the 1st Militia, along with the 76th Legion, his friends and his wife's unit will help out. They have been given a choice being proctors, help out with security and/or watch the exams. Reluctantly, he agrees to the Padawans taking part in the chunin exam. He wanted to see how Maelle, Mace, Akira, Rex, Shizuka & Juchi preform and how they came so far at Padawans.

August 2nd, 2036. The U.S. arrives in the Hidden Leaf. Both Lyons and Naruto greeted each other after leaving the village six years ago. While Lyons and Naruto talk and went over the exam, Jay, Alex, Keeve & Shizuka left to wonder around the Hidden Leaf. All four were intrigued that so much has changed. Jay would say, years later, "It's like Disney came in and gave it a makeover." They soon across a shop owned by Tenten, called "Ninja Tools Roll Roll Roll" and went inside to look around. Alex saw the Civil War Muskets from Thunder Mesa with a sign that read "Not for sale.". Then, Jay saw the vibrosword he gave to Tenten, which now hung on the wall of the shop. After the Attack on Jabiim, Jay took Thadma's blade, he erased the Imperial Emblem on the blade and pommel and etched the Hidden Leaf crest on. He thought about giving it to Sakura for saving his life, but he was worried that Sarada would get hurt by it. But, Sasuke took care of that and hung it high enough. He saw two signs that read "Not for sale" and "Gifted by Jedi Master Jay Lyon after fighting and stealing from Imperial General Dars Thadma on Jabiim.". Just then, Tenten appeared from her office and excitedly greets the duo. But, she was not the only one. Lieutenant Jesse and Second Lieutenant Rik stopped by after arriving with the Republic Freedom Fighters. Rik upgraded his armor with equipment inspired by Fordo during the First Battle of Muunilinst. On his right shoulder, he wore a green pauldron with the Rebel Alliance crest on it. He had a small pack on left forearm & had antenna on his arm. Lastly, he had a kama with dual DC-17 hand pistols. He received the rank of Second Lieutenant after slowing down the Imperial Advance and saved his comrades from capture during the Rescue of the Argora. Both he and Jesse heard about Thadma's Vibrosword, now Tenten's Vibrosword, on display in her shop. After catching up with what is going on, and Rik, at the moment, made a purchase by buying a sword, they regroup with the others. When they arrived, Naruto went over the rules and the challenges that lay before the Padawans and Genin, who are on their way to be promoted to Chunin.
