The Michael Saga: A New Hero

The Michael Saga: A New Hero is the first story in Star Wars: The Michael Saga.

Plot Summary
A young Jedi padawan, Michael Schweizer, is finally made into a Jedi knight. The High Jedi Council (including his old mentor, Mace Windu) order him to go help Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi with the conflict on Naboo with the Trade Federation. Yoda tells him that he senses a disturbance in the force there, and that the Dark Side surrounds somebody there.

Prologue
Michael Schweizer took off his padawan braid, and placed it on the table of his home.

"I'm finally a Jedi knight. I can't believe this is actually happening!" Michael said with happiness.

He thought of the good old days with Mace Windu, his mentor; fighting Battle Droids at the Jedi Temple, defeating Darth Maul on Kamino, and most importantly; the training and knowledge that he received.

Suddenly, somebody opened the door.

"Master Fisto," Michael said respectfully, bowing his head.

Kit Fisto flashed his infamous smile. "Hiya, Mike," he said. "The rest of the Council wishes to speak with you."

"When?" Michael asked.

"Now."

The two traveled to where the other Council members were waiting, and they entered the room. Michael bowed respectfully. "Good day, masters."

Plo Koon gave me a smile; probably a You're mind is about to be blown look.

"Michael Schweizer," Ki-Adi Mundi began. "You are going to Naboo. We have chosen you to help deal with the Trade Federation's conflict with Queen Almidala.

"But I thought Master Qui-Gon and his padawan Obi-Wan were already there?" Michael asked in confusion.

"They are, young one," Alaya Secura confirmed. "But it's difficult. See, they haven't much to work with; an unstable army of Gungans, two Jedi, two droids, the Queen and her royal gunmen? We need you to go help them."

I nodded.

"Michael." Grand Master Yoda called, beckoning him forward.

Michael knelt in front of him. "Yes, Master?"

"Disturbance in the force on Naboo, there is. Covers somebody, the Dark Side does." Yoda warned. "Careful, you will be."

"Of course, Master Yoda." I said respectfully.

"Listen, Mike, we have tons of faith in you," Kit Fisto said to Michael. "But we need you to be careful. They picked up a podracer from slave labor in Tattouine, and we feel he is powerful in the Force. Make sure he isn't hurt."

"It will be done, Master."
