Writing Star Wars Our Way

[BabyGirl]

[color=deeppink]I had a sudden inspiration for a story...and Justin has volunteered to write it with me...enjoy ;)

___________________[/color]

[color=purple]Jenna sidestepped and quickly spun out of the way of her attacker, easily drawing her turquoise lightsaber from its hiding place under her cloak. As she ignited it, the bluish blade threw a faint glow washing over the attacker?s face. [i]Definitely not human?[/i]

Holding the saber vertically at arms length in front of her face, feet braced for an attack, Jenna smiled, ?Does thou dare??

Doubt crossed the assailant?s face for a moment before his scaled hand raised a blaster in her direction. Jenna jerked her head sideways and the weapon flew free from his grip, landing in a puddle halfway across the street. His immediate shock became apparent?and amusing.

?Blast you?? he snarled and lunged for the blaster as Jenna jumped in his direction.

Landing out of an effortless flip, she drew the blaster into her hand and pointed it at his chest. She cocked an eyebrow and watched with amusement as his eyebrows furrowed with fury. Suddenly tossing the blaster into the air, Jenna sliced it in two with her lightsaber and it fell smoking into the puddle at the man?s feet. He started to back away, a rather shocked expression creeping over his grey-scaled face.

?Nice try, sir.? With a trademark smirk, Jenna took her lightsaber and sliced the plasmatic blade through the man?s neck. The reptilian body slumped to the ground and his head rolled casually next to it.

Jenna lowered her weapon and grinned down at the man?s severed head, ?I commend you for your bravery?stupid fool.? With a laugh, she retracted the lightsaber?s blade and placed it gently under her inky purple cloak.

Jenna?s face became lost in shadows as she pulled the cloak?s hood over her head, ?If only things weren?t so normal around here.? She sighed facetiously and started her way home, never taking a second glance at the man she had killed.[/color]

[Boba Fett]

Good, very good. 9.99/10 (sorry, nobody ever gets a perfect score from me :naughty: )

Anyway, I cant wait to find out who the reptile was.......

[Raiha]

[COLOr=seagreen]Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this belongs in the Stories and Poetry section. Unless the sign ups are encoded.[/COLOR]

[Sui Generis]

Very cool story...goes against Jedis and all but very cool!! 9/10

[Justin]

The two men walked swiftly through the dingy streets of lower Coruscant. "Do you sense my quarry, Master Jedi?" one of the men said.

"No, Fayde...I don't." Justin said.

"Try harder!" Fayde said as he pressed the blaster deeper into Justin's back. Suddenly, Justin did a complete backflip behind Fayde and took his lighsaber from Fayde's belt. Then, he ignited it and the orange light filled the area.

"You're not as good as you think, Fayde." Justin said just before he stabbed his adversary through the chest. Justin turned off his lightsaber and tucked it underneath his black cloak. Then he continued to walk through the dark street. He came upon a foul stench and some dead life-form in the street, but he already knew exactly who's handy-work that was. It was the work of a rogue Jedi(much like he was becoming) named 'Jenna'. Justin thought that that was an awfully feminine name for someone who was supposed to be the largest threat to the Jedi Order since Darth Vile over 1500 years ago. He figured that he would meet this man somewhere here on the capital soon enough if he followed the trail that Fayde had found for him. However, he sensed that there was something deeper than just a rogue Jedi at work here. And he sensed that Master Yoda knew of this, but was not telling anyone.

"You're a long way from the Jedi Temple." a beautiful young girl said as she stepped out from the shadows. Justin turned to face the person who was addressing him and found himself in awe at her beauty.

"Uh..uh..." Justin stuttered as he tried to regain his calm.

[Sara]

Hehe....I like. I like very much.

Jenna, Boss...nice work. I can hardly wait to read more.

[size=1]High praise indeed...[/size]

[BabyGirl]

[color=deeppink]Raiha- It's already here in Stories/Poetry, and it's not exactly an RPG, it's a joint-story :)

_______________[/color]

[color=purple]Jenna smiled sweetly at the young man who now stood blubbering in front of her. She [I]located[/I] the lightsaber placed under his black cloak and invited it to her right hand.

She switched it on before he had a chance to react, examining the melon-colored blade with interest, ?It?s a marvelous weapon.?

Justin swallowed back his surprise as Jenna fixed her caramel eyes on his, ?Relax, I?m not going to use your own saber against you.? She threw the lightsaber back to him, ?Though you?d be quite the challenge.?

Keeping his lightsaber in hand, Justin?s question came out as more of a demand, ?Who are you.?

?What?? Jenna feigned momentary shock, ?I though you?d know.? Her eyes narrowed as she smiled.

?But,? Justin trailed his eyes over her dark purple cloak, ?you can?t be Jenna.?

She gave a hearty laugh, ?Am I already that notorious??

Justin reached out with the Force, trying to sense her motive or her feelings or anything that would explain just who she was, ?Maybe.?

?You?re angry.? Jenna pulled her hood completely off of her head, revealing dark red hair that shimmered despite the shallow light. She stepped closer to Justin and he fought the urge to take a retreating, backward step.

?I know no anger.?

?But I sense it.?

?You?re mistaking...?

?Indeed I?m not.? She stopped a meters in front of the handsome young Jedi and watched as he set both his jaw and his slit-eyed gaze upon her, ?There?s something much deeper in you than merely a brash young man. There?s more?? She trailed off as a warning washed over both of them.

Two lightsabers were immediately ignited, not pitted against each other, but against something that was fast approaching?[/color]

[Justin]

Justin's eyes narrowed even further, "Fayde..."

"That's right, Jedi. I'm harder to kill than that!" The thinly built man said. "But you know what, Jedi? I'm not going to kill you just yet. It seems you've done the job I wanted you to do, you've found my quarry, after all."

"You mean you're working for a bounty hunter?" Jenna asked of Justin.

"Not exactly..." Justin said.

"Maybe you're not as powerful as I thought..." Jenna remarked.

"Stop bickering!" Fayde said. "I haven't killed in 3 days now...I'm getting anxious...and the bounty for you is as much dead as alive, Jenna. Say goobye to your little lover, Justin." Fayde said as 4 little needles fired from his leg armor. Jenna caught 3 of them with her lightsaber, who's light now mixed with the light from Justin's. However, the 4th dart caught her in the arm...much to Fayde's delight. "You see Justin...Jedi aren't as hard to kill as they seem."

Justin looked down at Jenna where she lay and a sudden wave of rage came over him. Fayde was someone who had long tormented Justin and now he had killed a fellow(though, rogue) Jedi. "You'll pay for that, Fayde." Justin said through his teeth.

"And I suppose you're the one who's going to make me?" Fayde said, implying a challenge.

"I suppose so." Justin said. Then Fayde found himself pinned beneath Justin's boot.

"What the hell?!"

"Die, Fayde." Justin said. Just as Fayde thought he would feel Justin's lightsaber stab through his forehead he found himself being raised into the air. He looked around and saw that Justin had not moved from Jenna's side.

"How did you--"

"You're easily fooled, Fayde. That was a mind trick. THIS is real!" Justin said. Then Fayde was crushed by the invisible force that held him aloft. Justin lowered his hand and then looked down to Jenna. He picked her up into his arms and began running down the street with her sheltered in his cloak.

[Sara]

hehe...who changed the title?

And I [i]still[/i] like the story.

[BabyGirl]

[color=deeppink]Hehe ::raises hand:: I changed the title. I thought the "MY" seemed a bit too bold...:toothy:

[color=purple]Jenna awoke slowly and painfully. It took her a few seconds to realize that she was aboard a ship, and the realization had her out of bed immediately. She stalked over to the door of the small bed chamber and [i]threw[/i] it open in a sudden burst of fury. Where the HELL was she...why the HELL was her arm throbbing...

She couldn't feel the comforting weight of her lightsaber and snorted out of spite, "Where is it?"

Justin, who sat at the controls at the front of the craft, didn't turn around to face her, "It's with me for safekeeping...in case you caught amnesia and forgot who I was and went crazy..."

"I'd like it back." Jenna's tone was short and dry.

"Here." Justin tossed it back toward her and Jenna caught the familiar silver handle with her mind, letting it slowly rotate in front of her eyes.

The throbbing arm reminded her of what had happened, "Fayde...I've heard of him."

"You're lucky you didn't die." Justin remained facing forward, weaving in and out of Coruscant's heavy traffic.

Jenna shrugged, "I suppose so." She plucked the rotating lightsaber out of the air and replaced it on her belt.

"Fayde overestimated the damage that one needle could do, he thought that the poison would be stronger than that." Justin finally glanced back at Jenna who was intent on watching him, "It wasn't that hard to draw out with a few healing techniques. Does it still hurt?"

Focusing energy on her arm, Jenna blocked out remaining pain, "Nah."

"Good."

Both Jedi fell silent.

Jenna studied the craft that they were in: [i]Republic model...[/i]

"You're taking me to the Jedi Council." But it was said with more amusement than surprise.

"And if I was?"

Jenna took a relaxed seat next to the pilot's chair, "I'd tell them that they're all wrong and that they're just too narrow-minded to realize it."

Justin shot her a sideways glance and held her gaze for a moment before turning his attention back to the traffic, "But it's where you came from." He said quietly.

"I trained as a Jedi, but that isn't forcing me to abide by the Jedi ways. It's not forcing you, either." She leaned closer to him, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Justin set his jaw a bit harder, "The Jedi live by the Code, and I am obligated to it."

"You don't sound so convinced." Jenna leaned back once again and smiled.

"I'm not taking you to the Council...never even thought about it."[/color]

[Justin]

"Then where are we going?" Jenna asked.

"Right now...we're headed to my apartment. I'm going to drop you off there. You can stay if you like, or you are free to go about your business." Justin said as he looked back and forth between Jenna and traffic.

"Why, after all that work, are you just letting me go?" Jenna asked.

"I have my reasons."

"Something personal? Tell me, who trained you?" Jenna asked.

"Yes. And my master was Jake Angelwalk." Justin replied.

"Oh..."

"And yours?" Justin asked.

"Heh...mine was Yoda himself." Jenna responded.

"That's almost funny..." Justin grinned with amusement.

"What?" Jenna questioned, trying to decide whether to take the comment offensively.

"That one of Master Yoda's students would go rogue." Justin responded as he turned his full gaze upon Jenna.

"Well--" Jenna was cut off.

"We're hear." Justin said, "are you planning on staying at my place or should I just let you out and keep going?"

Jenna stopped for a moment to consider, "I guess I'll stay here for a while" she said...."[i]Or at least until my arm stops throbbing.[/i]" she thought.

Justin looked at her with a slight smirk on his face, "Alright...here's the key. Try not to wreck the place." Justin said as he tossed Jenna to keycard to his apartment.

"Ok..." Jenna said.

"Oh...and Jenna...if anyone comes to the door other than me, [b]don't[/b] open the door." Justin warned.

"Sure." Jenna said.

"I'll be back shortly. If you decide to leave before I return, please leave the keycard on my counter. It's really expensive to buy another one. Goodbye." Justin closed the door to his cruiser and drove off.

[Boba Fett]

This is getting [I]very[/I] good. I cant wait for the next parts.

But first... *runs around, gathers popcorn, a couch, soda and sunglasses, then sits back and watches*

[Sui Generis]

No kidding! I Agree with Boba Fett!! [i]Runs and grabs his own popcorn, couch, soda, and sungalsses, then sits back and watches[/i] Very good indeed!

[Sara]

Heh...I'm really enjoying this. Don't you two dare stop before I've had enough.

[Mist]

Wow, guys. This is really good. I hate it when peeps leave me hanging, so finish please! 8.5/10

[Raiha]

[COLOR=seagreen]Charming! A female rouge.....and a macho guy...this should be good. And like Mist, and the others, I can't wait for the next installment.[/COLOR]

[BabyGirl]

[color=purple][i]At least I've found who I've been looking for.[/i] Jenna stood in the doorway of the tiny appartment and found it to be the typical Jedi living space. A bed, no, a [i]rather uncomfortable-looking sleeping pallet[/i], two chairs woven of a dark wood, a 'fresher station, a few cabinets and a sink.

"Minimal living." Jenna mused, recalling the days she, too, had lived that way.

But the air felt different. It was thick with old memories and restless whispers. Jenna closed her eyes and let them become imprinted in her mind...they told a lot of 'stories' about Justin...

Feeling more than a little hungry, Jenna glanced at the cabinets that were stationed above the sink. Feeling rather ridiculous for letting such a thing as hunger distract her, she focused energy on something else thus blocking out the malicious little pangs that had been attacking her stomach for days.

Crossing the floor to the lone transparisteel window, Jenna glanced out over the city. Justin's appartment was on too low of a level to see over the higher buildings, but she could faintly see the top spire of the Jedi Temple. The site of it always ignited a small fire in the pit of her stomach, and she used that dark energy to help her whenever possible.

She knew from the endless teachings that Yoda had bestowed upon her that anger, hate, and agression were all dangerously connected, and woven deeply, with the Dark Side of the Force.

A shadow crossed her face as she smiled...if the Dark Side was what she had to use...then so be it.[/color]

[Justin]

"Master Dupree, do you know the wherebaouts of Master Yoda?" Justin asked the tall man clad in Jedi robes.

"Yes, Justin, I do. In fact, I just left him. He's training the younglings in the remote room." The man responded.

"Thank you." Justin said as he started off.

Justin turned the corner, and then slowed down so as to approach Master Yoda with respect and dignity. "Master Yoda."

"Younglings, younglings...a visitor we have." Master Yoda addressed his class of young Padawans. "Say hello to Master Justin."

"Hello, Master Justin." The class said in unison.

Justin nodded at the class then proceeded to talk with Yoda. "Master, I've come across a vergence in the Force."

"A vergence, you say? Our missing Jedi, is it?" Yoda asked.

Justin stopped to consider whether or not he should tell Yoda about finding Jenna. He couldn't understand why he found himself at conflict. But his master had always taught him to settle all enternal conflicts before presenting himself before any audience. "No, Master, I'm afraid I have not found Jenna."

Yoda pused at Justin's answer. "Sure, you are, that found her you have not?" Yoda asked with prying eyes.

"Yes, Master Yoda. But I'll keep you informed."

"Then why consulted me, have you?" Yoda said as they continued to walk.

"I wanted council on my...problem with a bounty hunter." Justin tried hard to cover up his secret.

"Fayde, you mean?" Yoda said.

"Yes.He's becoming a serious problem for me." Justin said.

"Follow your training, you must. Allow your rage to get control, you must not." Yoda said wisely.

"Thank you, Master Yoda." he said as she walked away. Once he was away from Master Yoda Justin let out a sigh of relief. He had no idea why he couldn't bring himself to tell Yoda who was hiding in his apartment. He decided to meditate on the issue.

[Ben]

I'm not much of a star wars fan, but this story has been drawing me back. Keep going you two, it's great! :D

[BabyGirl]

[color=purple]Jenna was about to take a seat in one of the wooden chairs to do a bit of calm reflection, but noises from the hallway caught her attention. Drawing her lightsaber from under her cloak, she left it off as she approaced the door.

Placing her ear against the thin, durasteel slider, she used the Force to magnify sound.

[i]"He said it was 5008..."[/i] She could hear that the footsteps were directly ouside of the door.

[i]"...which is right here."[/i] The footsteps stopped. She sensed danger...

Backing away from the door, Jenna ignited her blade and the small entryway was washed with a dull turquoise glow. A blaster shot had the keylock smoking, and the door was yanked open by two men.

Jenna smiled at their obviously confused faces, "Hello boys."

The men, both of firm build and generous height, tried to get a few blaster shots off at her before they realized their efforts were futile. Jenna merely deflected the bolts, nearly singeing the sleeve off one man's jacket.

"So," Jenna lifted a finger and pointed it at the jammed door, flicked her wrist to the left and sent it slamming shut, "what is your business here?"

Neither man answered, though one was brave -or stupid- enough to lunge at her. Quickly and easily positioning her lightsaber horizontally waist high, the blade slid through the charging man's middle and back out again. The impact pushed Jenna against the wall, and she shoved the man over with a booted foot.

"Are you smart enough to share information with me?"

The second man glanced wide-eyed at his comrade who now lay motionless on the floor. Jenna watched his face twist into a painfully angered expression.

"You *****, what?" but his sentence was interupted as Jenna's blade crept dangerously close to his throat.

"Watch your words, sir. You [i]will[/i] tell me the information I want." She made a small semi-circular motion with her wrist as she spoke.

"I will tell you the information you want." Jenna could feel the man relax. [i]Coming out of battle mode...[/i]

"You will tell me your purpose here."

"I will tell you my purpose here...in search of Justin...some Jedi Master."

Her blade hadn't retreated from being stationed at his neck, "And exactly who sent you?"
[/color]

[BabyGirl]

[color=deeppink]I apologize for the double posting, but I got bored a little while ago and got to drawing. Now, Justin may not agree with my depiction...but this is a quick sketch of my ideal "Master Justin".

Cute, ain't he? :toothy:[/color]

[Justin]

"Curious." Justin said eyeing his door from the walkway. He approached his foor with caution. What he saw inside made him want hit something. "I thought I told you NOT to open the door for anyone but me!" He said to Jenna.

"I didn't. They [i]let[/i] themselves in." She said pointing to the door.

"Did you find anything out from them before you killed them both?" He asked eyeing the two dead bodies, one he thought was still alive.

"Yes. It seems your buddy isn't quite dead yet. And you seemed so powerful too..." She said with a teasing tone.

"I knew he wasn't dead. At times I wonder if he CAN be killed."

"Well...he sent these two after you apparantly." She said.

"I doubt he would've paid them if the HAD caught me. You didn't quite finish that one off." He pointed to the body slump on the floor in front of Jenna. "Allow me." Justin ignited his saber and thrust it's auburn blade through the thug's neck.

"You're not the Jedi you pretend to be." Jenna said.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I mean that you act all proper and ****, like you're dead set to follow the Code, but you're as quick to kill as...[i]me[/i]."

"I never said I was the purest Jedi ever," Justin said,"but I don't commit cold-blooded murder, either." He finished.

"What does that mean!?" Jenna stood in protest. She felt insulted, though she knows she has done what Justin accused her of.

"I sense the Dark Side in you. Too much of it, for my comfort." Justin responded.

"So you [i]are[/i] going to take me to the Council?" She said with an amused smile.

"I don't know. They will kill you if you won't return to the Jedi Order. That or they'll throw you in prison."

"I don't think you'll take me to the Council. You've been infatuated with me since you first laid eyes on me." Jenna said confidently.

"You're flattering yourself." Justin said in an angry tone.

"Oh really?" Jenna said.

"Yeah, really." Justin turned and looked down at her.

"I can tell when a guy is into me." She said.

"I'll bet you can..." Justin said, sarcastically.

-Justn

[BabyGirl]

[color=purple]"Actually, men are not to be trusted nowadays." Jenna toed the man who had first charged at her, "Take this one for example."

Still annoyed, Justin frowned, "Yeah, what about him?"

"Well," she reconsidered, "this one was rather predictable. Relies on his [i]wonderful[/i] blaster techniques to save his behind, when that technique is interupted by a woman, a [i]woman[/i]...he gets pissed and charges at her."

Justin watched Jenna's face slowly evolve into a model of dark anger, "What else was I supposed to do?" She looked confused when she directed the question towards him.

"Well," Justin glanced at the dark hole through the man's belly, "you didn't have to kill him. There [i]are[/i] other ways." When she didn't respond, he grabbed one of the dead men under the arms, lifting his severed head with the Force, "Help me get them out of here."

Jenna nodded and didn't bother touching the other murdered man, but rather lifted him entirely with the Force, floating him in Justin's wake.[/color]

[Justin]

"We can just dump them here. They'll blend right in with the filth on this side of the city." Justin said.

"You don't have a high opinion of Coruscant, do you?" Jenna asked as she released the body.

"It looks better when you're approaching it from space..." Justin answered.

"Where are you from, anyway?" Jenna asked.

"Well, I was born here...but I was--for the brief time I was with my family--raised on one of the moons of Alderaan." Justin said.

"Heh...and some good ole' Jedi took you under his wing at a young age, eh?" Jenna said.

"Pretty much."

"Typical...All Jedi are arrogant. Even female ones..." Jenna said. "What's with you and that bounty hunter?"

"Fayde? He's an old 'friend' of mine." Justin said sarcastically,"It's kind of personal."

"I could just probe your mind." Jenna said with a playful grin.

"No, you couldn't." Justin said as he reentered his apartment. He walked to one of the chairs, and sat down. Jenna followed him in, but she sat behind him on the pallet.

"You see what I mean? You're a Jedi, and a man...that makes your arrogance twice as bad." Jenna said.

"If you say so..." Justin said. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. Though she found his actions rude, Jenna chose not to bother him. He clearly had something heavy on his shoulders, and he was being an *******. She decided to let him get over both. She laid down for a quick nap.

In the solitude of his meditation, Justin could converse with his former master, Jake Angelwalk. Jake had met his death at the hands of Fayde 4 years ago on the planet Nal Hutta. Justin often spoke freely with his master, as he would a friend, but occasionally he brought matters of some weight to his mentor.

"She's just...I really can't explain it." Justin said.

"Of course you can't. It happens to all love-struck young men. Concentrate, Justin. Remember, she is no longer a member of the Jedi Order. This makes any relationship absolutely out of the question." Angelwalk answered.

"What would you have done, my Master?" Justin asked.

"I like to think I'd have turned her in. But then, I wasn't in your position. She's not wholly evil, from what you tell me, but surely you can't see any good of her going free. People who become consumed by the Dark Side are incapable of love and affection. Turn her in, Justin. It is the only way to avoid both personal suffering, and the suffering of others." Angelwalk concluded.

"Yes, Master. However, I sense that more than just she is at work here. I sense something darker. I don't think she knows, but I think she may be a mere puppet for a larger evil. Independant as she is...I feel she is serving someone else's ends. Intentionally or not." Justin said.

"There is always a shadow looming in every corner. That's why the Force is never fully in balance. The Dark Side [i]has[/i] someone to cling to. Or maybe it's only feeding off the collected actions of many, either way...it's hard to defeat it. It may be the Dark Side's [i]attraction[/i] to her that you sense, young one, and not an actual being behind it all." Angelwalk said with his profound wisdom.

"I will take your advice into account, my Master. But I'm afraid I must go. I have business off-planet." Justin said.

"Very well. I'll not hold you any longer. Goodbye." With that, Jake disappeared from Justin's sight, and Justin awoke. Immediately he sensed danger and he ignited his lightsaber. It's glow filled the now dark room. Behind him Jenna was asleep, and Justin sensed that she was not faking it. Where, he wondered, could the danger be. He stretched out with the Force, and scanned the room beyond his view. He sensed that everything was normal...but something caught his attention. He sensed a very small--minute, even--sliver of metal hovering in the room between him and Jenna...it was a Assasin Droid of some kind. He could sense the circuitry inside it's tiny shell. He could even sense the poison in it's tip...which was pointed right at Jenna."This woman has too many enemies." He thought to himself. He piveted on his foot and cut the droid down with his lightsaber. The small thing was entirely consumed by the blade. Suddenly, the door to his apartment flung open, and two cloaked men stepped in. Both ignited emerald-green lightsabers...

-Justin

[BabyGirl]

[color=deeppink]Sorry this isn't very long...I'm super busy getting ready for a party tomorrow V_V

___________________[/color]

[color=purple]Jenna always kept her guard up, even when she was sleeping. She felt [i]something[/i]...

Springing out of slumber and onto her feet, Jenna threw her cloak on the floor and ignited her saber.

"What is this?" Justin's voice was low with warning.

Neither man moved as Jenna stepped in front of her host, "Leave him out of this."

"Ahh, so the great Lady Jenna is staying with a...[i]Jedi[/i]." The word came out as though it was poison to the speaker's mouth.

Jenna's reply was quick and biting, "What do you consider yourself, wiseass?"

"A Jedi," the same man who had spoken lept forward with obvious aid from the Force, his green blade crackling against Jenna's, "...gone sour."[/color]
