The Jedi from Earth

The Illness

Nikki opened her eyes and frowned when she noticed that she was surrounded by darkness, 

"Hello?"

She tried walking but she was stuck, 

"Whose there?"

"There is no escaping the past, the present, and the future,"

The voice was deep. Nikki looked around, 

"Who are you?!"

Light erupted around her and she was in a small room. She saw the walls covered in posters, the small matress in the middle of the room. Small boxes filled with clothing, and a small chest that she knew held medical equipment, 

"My room?"

She turned as the door opened to see a much younger version of herself. The little girl ran to the mattress and covered her face as fear radiated from her. A figure walked in with a sneer on her face, 

"You are useless! I told you to make me dinner! I told you to get your siblings ready and prepped for bed! Can you do anything right?!"

Nikki felt her heart drop, 

"No..."

The younger girl cried, 

"I'm s-sorry mamma-"

Nikki couldn't do anything as she watched the adult punch the young girl, 

"You freak! I told you that I am not your mother! You will never be my child! You are lucky that your father still wants you around!"

Nikki looked away as she felt pain at the memory, 

"Why are you showing me this?"

"You have known pain for your entire life. You need to go,"

Nikki shook her head, 

"My friends need me!"

"Do they?"

The scenery changed to metal walls, and Nikki recognized it as one of the mess halls. She looked around and immediately spotted Fives, Rex, Cody, Echo, Hardcase, Jesse, Kix, Waxer, and Boil. She once again tried getting closer to them but found she still could not move. 

"We should stop trying to look, Rex,"

Rex shook his head at Jesse, 

"No, we need to keep looking for her,"

Kix sighed, 

"Rex. Nikki never trusted us. Why do you want to find her?"

Cody crossed his arms, 

"Because, it is the right thing to do. We have been training Nikki for the past month. She ran away believing that we hated her,"

Waxer shrugged, 

"Come on, Vod-"

Nikki closed her eyes and screamed, 

"STOP! THESE ARE ALL LIES!"

"Are they? Would you know if it was real or not?"

The scene abruptly changed and Nikki opened her eyes to see a familiar room, 

"No."

"So much pain. So close to being who you were meant to be,"

A scream pierced the air, and Nikki's eyes darted to the source. A young woman with blonde hair was shackled to a metal chair in the center of the room. It was her. She knew exactly where she was. The door creaked open, and the Third Sister, a menacing figure in dark armor, strode in with an air of cruel authority,
