Jay Lyon: A Star Wars Story

The Clone War Has Begun

22 BBY, 2016, tensions rising between The Republic and The Separatists. More and more star systems were joining Count Dooku. The Jedi are spread thin across the galaxy. This worried Master Yoda, Master Windu and Jay. One thing he saw when he looked up Earth, In America, back in the 1860's, the southern states secede from The Union after Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 Presidential Election. To him, he feels like The American Civil War. One day, after the assassination attempt on Senator Padme Amidala, he, along with Jedi Masters Kit Fisto, Luminara Unduli with her apprentice, Barriss Offee, Yoda, Plo Koon, Ki Ad Mundi, and Mace Windu had a meeting with Chancellor Palpatine about the issue involving The Confederacy Of Independent Systems. With the Jedi spread across the galaxy, They would have enough to protect The Republic. The words Master Windu said played in his mind. "We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers." Said Master Windu. After the meeting with the chancellor, Jay return to the temple with the masters. He found a nice quiet, and empty, hallway and be alone and think. He stood there, looking out of the temple window, gazing at the city buildings and watching the speeders fly by. As he continue to gaze, he was split of what will or might happen. One half was thinking about this might be the last time he would see this city, his Homeworld when war comes. The other half is thinking of different time, where there is no crime and war. He envisioned a time where Count Dooku is a Jedi again and some of The Jedi, that have fallen, alive again. Sadly, that vision will never come true. At the Jedi Archives, Jay was looking up Earth again. He was learning about a man named Walt Disney until he saw Master Kenobi coming in to the archives. He stopped in front of the bust of Dooku and studied it. Then, he saw Jocasta Nu, Jedi Librarian, tended to Master Kenobi. He was looking for a planet called Kamino. He got this information from his friend Dexter Jettster. Sadly, It did not appear. She said it doesn't exisit, but Obi Wan didn't believe it, suggested that her records could be incomplete. Somewhat miffed, Jocasta reiterated her belief that if an item was not in the Archives, it did not exist, and strode away to assist a young Padawan, named Zett Jukassa, who had just arrived. Jay watched as Jocasta walked over and tended to Zett, He quickly look at the screen to avoid interfering. After Jocasta and Zett left, he saw Kenobi, leaning back in his seat, staring at the map, where Kamino should be. To Jay, he felt like getting up and help Master Kenobi with his investigation to find his missing planet. He later found out that someone, possibly Dooku, erased Kamino from the archives. Later on the day, Jay was training with a Training Droid. He was sharping up his Lightsaber combat skills in case a battle was coming this way. Just then, Master Windu came in asking Jay to come with him. He was heading to Federal District. He heard that Master Kenobi, along with Senator Amidala and Padawan Skywalker, were taken prisoner on Geonosis. Story goes Master Kenobi tracked a bounty hunter named Jango Fett from Kamino. According to Master Kenobi's report, The Kaminoians used Jango as a template for a clone army for The Republic. This commission was by Jedi Master Sifo Dyas, who died almost 10 years ago. This deeply puzzeled Jay. Why did Master Sifo Dyas want an army for the Republic and why wasn't The Jedi known of this? I'm afraid that those answers will come in time. Once arriving at The Senate Building, Jay and Master Windu, along with Master Yoda watched Naboo Representative Jar Jar Binks propose to give emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine. With that, Palpatine authorizes the formation of the Grand Army of The Republic, Windu led a Jedi assualt team to Geonosis in order to rescue Kenobi, Skywalker and Senator Amidala while Master Yoda moved to take command of the clone troopers on Kamino. Just in the nick of time, Master Windu and his team arrived in time to save Kenobi and his friends. Jay later recalled....

"Master Windu ignited his lightsaber and held the blade at Jango Fett's throat. I ignited my lightsaber and held it at Viceroy Nute Gunray's throat. At that moment, Count Dooku turn around and faced my master. He said to master "How pleasant of you to join us." To which my master replied "This party's over." Then, one after another, Jedi ignited their lightsabers, Blue and green blade popped up from everywhere."Brave." Dooku began. "But foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're possibly outnumbered." My master smirked at the count and told him. "I don't think so." "We'll see" The Count said to my master. I felt like making one sweeping move and kill Dooku, but I sensed something coming. Heavy, clanking footsteps coming from down the hall. I saw the silhouette of two large droids. "MASTER!" I shouted. He looked down the hall and saw two Super Battle Droids coming down, firing. Together my master and I blocked and deflected the shouts. Then Suddenly, Jango attacked with his wrist-mounted flamethrower, unleashing a stream of flames at my master and I. Luckly, we leapt from the box and into the arena, throwing off our burning cloaks after landing unharmed. Just then, an army of B1 Battle Droids poured into the arena and charged towards us. The rest of Jedi jumped down and counter attacked, a sea of green and blue blades crashed into the droids like a ocean wave hitting the shore. One thing was for certain.....War has begun." - Jay Lyon.
