Here We Go Again

Chapter 3

Lucy's POV

"Luke?"  I asked the sandy blonde-haired man standing at the entrance to the council room.  He was wearing completely black with only one black glove, no doubt it was robotic.

"How do you know who I am?" Luke asked in confusion.

Instead of being completely reasonable and explain the situation to Luke, I decided to be like every other Jedi master in history and be super confusing.

"I am here to help," I said.

"Um, I don't know exactly what you are going to help me with, but I think we are pretty good here," Luke said, still confused.

"Your father, Darth Vader," I stated simply.

"What about him?" Luke asked, now interested.

"I knew him.  I have known him for years.  It has been a while since I have last seen him.  And know I understand he is dead." I turned my gaze to outside of the window as Luke came to stand by me.

"Who are you?" Luke questioned.

"Lucille," I answered, telling him what I had told many others.  I had only let people who were close to me call me Lucy.

"Well, Lucille, how did you know my father?" 

"You plan on building a new Jedi Order?"

"Yes.  How do you-"

I cut off Luke by taking my lightsaber off of my belt, only activating one side, bringing in down on Luke.  He quickly blocked it by bringing up his own lightsaber.  His eyes widened as he saw my red blade.

"You are a Sith!" Luke exclaimed.

I threw Luke back with the Force, him landing in a chair on the far end of the room.  I turned my saber off and clipped it back to my belt.

"I promise you I am not a Sith," I remarked sharply.

"Who are you?" Luke said, standing with his lightsaber still out.

I reached out my hand, calling his saber to me.  It landed in my hand, and I simply clipped it to my belt.  "I am here to help."

"Then what was that?" Luke exclaimed.

"A test to see how much more you need to learn, which is a lot," I sighed.

"Who are you to evaluate me?" Luke asked.

"Appointed by the Force, I'm afraid," I said.

"The Force just appoints people to train others?" Luke asked with doubt.

"Not usually, but the Force sends me to do many things.  Speaking of sending people to do things, we must find my partner."

"There's another one?"

"Yes, and we must find him.  He is most likely waiting for us at this point."

Just as I finished my statement, the door swished open once again.  "Luke, we need-"

I looked to see none other than Leia, Vader's other child, and another man I did not know.

"The Seventh Sister?!" Leia exclaimed as she saw me.

"Princess," I greeted briskly.

"You know her?" Luke and the other man asked.

"Of course I know her!" Leia exclaimed.  "She's the Seventh Sister, she's-"

"No longer that person," I interrupted.

"Wait, I thought your name was Lucille," Luke said.

"It is.  The Seventh Sister is someone from my past who I no longer am.  And, now, Luke, we must go to find my partner," I said, my voice implying we were in a hurry.

"Luke is not going anywhere until we know what is going on," the man I did not know said.

"If it makes you feel any better, Leia, we are going to get Ezra!" I snapped.

"Ezra?" Leia asked. "No one has seen him since Kanan died!"

"Well, we are finding him now," I explained.

"Woah, woah, woah!" Luke explained.  "I want an explanation.  Who is Ezra, and why exactly are you here?" Luke said slowly.

The room was silent for a moment before Leia started into an explanation.

"Lucille was once an inquisitor for the Empire.  Six years ago, she disappeared.  I never knew what happened to her."

"That explains her, now, who is Ezra?" Luke asked.

"Ezra Bridger was a rebel once.  He was part of the crew known as the Ghost.  Ezra was a good friend, and a Jedi," I explained.

"But, that can't be possible.  Yoda told me there was no more Jedi," Luke said.

"Well, he lied.  And, now, you want to build another empire to rule the galaxy, and the Force sees it in its best interest to make sure things do not go wrong," I said. "Now, we must go.  The only way you can start anew is by understanding the Force.  Training more in its ways."

"If Luke is going, then we are going to," the I did not know said.

"Han, I don't think you-"

"Leia, it will be fine.  If this Ezra character was part of the Rebellion, I am sure he is fine," Han said.  "And she seems nice enough."

"Thanks," I said dryly.  "Can we go now?"

"This is sudden, I will have to inform the Rebellion we are leaving," Leia said.

"Then we will take a ship and go," I said.

"This is officially one of the most confusing conversations I have ever had," Luke said, shaking his head.
