Adrian Soonn: The Imperial Academy Prolouge

Dreams. For me they are a fascinating thing. The one time for I sort my thoughts into a place where I live. It is curious how I do it but I just do. It is like I'm living it, like I feel it. Sometimes I'm walking among the fields of Naboo, or the busy street of Corellia. I dream of freedom, freedom from the awful place I am forced to live in. I dream of my own life, with imaginary parents and what I could've been if my parents could've. Could've what? Disappeared? Captured? Imprisoned? Killed? It is all a mystery to me because unlike other people here at the Imperial Academy, I only remember one thing from my past. A beautiful woman getting struck down by Imperial Shocktroopers! Who was the woman? How is she connected to my past? Is she still alive? Did she even survive that horrible cut? Well this is the night I found out. As soon as I fell asleep I had the dream which was actually a memory.

''The child lay in a crib. Somehow I felt the feeling from him. Confusion, laughter, happiness, peace. He was waving his hands in the air with joy! His eyes were closed as if he was scared to open them. That made sense, the child looked 2-3 weeks old.''

''The beautiful woman came in and picked up the child, cradling him in her arms. She sang to him in a crooning voice. The baby yawned falling asleep quickly.''

''Then there was a bang and the shock troopers came! 'What's going on?!?' The woman said alarmed! The babies eyes snapped open for the first time to see the shocktrooper carrying himm and his mother away. He started to cry as she was shouting out! They arrived outside where some storm troopers were. Two were standing guard at a shuttle, two were holding a man by the scruff and he was struggling! The main trooper took off his helmet. He was a rare clone trooper from the Clone War. He was fair heighted with angular features, black dyed blue hair which was shaped into a crew cut. He wore storm trooper armour and had a chaingun. There was an old Galactic Republic symbol on his cheek.''

''The troopers placed the woman in front of the man possibly her husband. He had..... the same features as the main storm trooper! He was presuambly a deserted trooper. 'This is the punishment for deserting traitor!' The main trooper said harshly. 'Kill her!' 'I love you Cranker.' The woman said. The man, Cranker replied 'I love you too!' The troopers puled out their blasters and the woman was dead in a second.''

''Then they put the nozzle of the blaster on the child's head, who countinued to cry. 'No! Why would you kill a child! You have no heart, please anything!' Cranker pleaded tears running fast down his eyes! Then he said 'He is not my son!' The troopers looked over confused. 'Let him go on.' The main trooper said.''

'''He is not my son.' Cranker said. 'He is just a child me and my wife were taking care of. Please don't hurt him!' 'Fine, boys take the kid on the shuttle and lock this man up!' The main trooper said harshly. 'Charger please!' Cranker pleaded. The main trooper, Charger turned away with tears dropping down his face.''

And then I woke up breathing heavily at the shocking revelation!
