Chapter 1




The stars stretched into lines of light as the Emerald Dawn A customized HWK 290 Light Freighter entered hyperspace. Izuku did one last check to make sure he was still on course to his destination and sighed. After making sure the autopilot was still working his mind turned to the events that led him to this point. He was a Jedi Knight now, not because he passed some trail but because he had assisted with the evacuation of the younglings during the Vong's invasion of Yavin. Even his knighting ceremony was unconventional, normally it was held in the audience chamber of the temple with onlookers, a master reciting the deeds that made you worthy followed by a lightsaber salute. Once they were safely away from Yavin, Jedi Master Kam Solusar simply removed his braid, thanked him for the assistance, and left while Luke gave him his new mission. He was to warn his home world Earth of the impending invasion as scouts seemed to think the Vong were on course to assault the worlds on and around Corellian Run and use it as a staging ground for the next stage of their invasion.


It had been eleven years since he left Earth, and four almost five since his first mission took him to the sol system to deliver high medical grade bacta. He still remembered the day he had left. He had just learned he would not be getting a quirk, his best friend at the time Katsuki Bakugo had taken it upon himself to hurt him whenever he could. One day Izuku intervened when Katsuki was bullying another boy, he saw it as some sort of rebellion from Izuku and decided to teach him a lesson throwing an explosion at him. Izuku could still feel that heat some days. But he wasn't burned when he opened his eyes the explosion had just stopped and disappeared. A man in robes then walked out with a disapproving face.

"Those with power should not use it for a squabble like this." The man spoke up. "You should be protecting those less unfortunate than yourself."

"Who do you think you are freak?" Katsuki yelled.

"I am but a simple man who noticed a disturbance in the air and came to investigate. Now stop me if I'm mistaken, it is illegal to use your powers in such a way without a license yes?" The man pointed out causing Katsuki's friends to step back. "However I believe the saying is kids will be kids, so if you apologize to these boys I think we can all walk away without the need for police."

"Tch, whatever," Katsuki turned to Izuku and the other boy. "I'm sorry you both are so weak, alright let's get out of here." He told his other friends and they left. The boy Izuku was protecting quickly thanked him and ran off as well leaving him with the robed man.

"Th-Thank you, sir, um are you a hero?" Izuku had asked. The man seemed to find something funny as he laughed a bit.

"Some people call me a hero, but I'm just a man who did what he could, similar to you," He paused and nodded. "So that's what brought me here. It's a pleasure to meet you I'm Luke Skywalker Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order."

That was the day Izuku's life had changed. Luke explained how he had felt a strong presence in the force and had come to investigate. He was certain that the presence was Izuku and after meeting his mother Inko and getting her permission to do a test Luke had drawn a bit of blood. He then explained the concept of midichlorians and how they do not necessarily create the force they simply determine how sensitive someone is and how easy or difficult it is to use the force, Similar to a door the lower the count the more shut the door is and the harder it is to use the force and the higher, the more open meaning the person has an easier time with the force. Midichlorians were not the cause of the force just a visual symptom that allowed the Jedi of old to find students. Izukus counts were around his old masters at 13,500.

"I know some old rumors of Jedi forcing families apart might still be floating around ma'am but allow me to assure you that is not the case. The old order had many flaws and I am working to fix them, if you allow young Izuku to come and learn the ways of the Jedi, I promise you will still get to hear from him. I believe that healthy attachment is a key to bringing out one's true potential."Luke had explained.

A beeping from his droid FT-102 a small droid with bipedal legs the size of a small earth dog, pulled Izuku from his reminiscing and he sat up straight checking the console. He was mere minutes away from exiting hyperspace, so he turned off the autopilot and pressed a few controls. The freighter exited hyperspace, and the swirling blue of the stars condensed back into the familiar view of space. Below him was the blue-and-green orb of Earth, as beautiful as he remembered. A few old XQ3 platforms surrounded the planet with a few defense force fighter squadrons stationed on each, FT beeped again.

"What is it Fit? Communications ok, open up comms." Izuku waited as soon as the ding of the communications rang through the air.

"This is Captain Smith of Fire Squadron, please respond." An older male voice spoke up.

"Hello Captian Smith, this is Jedi Knight Izuku Midoriya I come with urgent news about the recent war," Izuku reported.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before Captain Smith responded, his voice graver. "Acknowledged, Knight Midoriya. Welcome to Earth. We will need you to dock on Platform Omega it's standard procedure for any incoming traffic. The Hero Commission and Defence Council will want to hear your report."

The docking bay of Platform Omega was a bustling hub of activity, with personnel moving quickly between ships and cargo. As the Emerald Dawn settled onto the landing platform, a hiss of steam and the hum of repulsor lifts filled the air. Izuku took a deep breath before standing, pulling his dark cloak tighter around his shoulders. His lightsaber, hidden beneath the fabric, felt heavier than usual—a reminder of the weight of his mission. Fit beeped in curiosity as Izuku prepared to disembark, the little droid rolling up beside him.
