Star Wars: Jedi Twins/Chapter 1

It was a dark night on Coruscant. 16-year old Andy Sammonds was resting comfortably in his room at the Jedi Temple after coming back from a battle on his homeworld of Corellia. His twin sister Katie, whom he loved very much, was at the Temple's hangar working on a transport. Andy was thinking about what had happened over the last three years. He and Katie participated in many battles. They were among the Jedi who were on Geonosis. They nobly defended the temple against terrorists. They forced the Black Sun Pirates & the Zann Consortium into hiding. Now, the Clone Wars was nearing its end. Soon enough, Andy and Katie would go on meditative retreat to Naboo. But what Andy didn't know was that everything he knew was about to be destroyed.

As he rested, he suddenly heard laser blasts outside in the hallway. He was weary after the Battle of Coruscant, and thought the clones were in the temple to find battle droids who stayed behind. He decided to help. Quickly, he called forth his lightsaber with the Force. As he exited, he smelled smoke. Then, a trio of 501st Clone Troopers rounded the corner. They came straight at Andy.

"Whoa, whoa!", asked Andy, "where's the fire?"

"There's been a rebellion.", answered the clone, "The Jedi are attempting to take over the Republic. You must fall with them."

Andy knew what was going on. He heard that Master Windu had left for the Chancellor's office with Masters Tiin, Fisto & Kolar. He also heard that Anakin had left for the Chancellor's office. Andy activated his lightsaber, which shown a bright blue.

The lead clone drew his blaster. Andy held up his saber, ready to fight. The clone opened fire on him. Andy easily delflected the shots back at the trooper. The clone dropped dead to the ground. The other two clones, now realizing who they were facing, attempted to escape, but Andy cut them down. Andy ran through the halls, killing a few more clones. He found a few dead Jedi along the way. Now, the situation was becoming clear: the Jedi were being destroyed.

When he arrived at the Grand Hallway, he found a huge battle. Jedi & clones alike were fighting, and the Jedi were losing. Andy couldn't believe his eyes.

"Andy!", called a voice. It was Lytton, commander of the Temple Security Force. He had his DH-17 ready.

"Lytton!", cried Andy, "What's going on?!" "We have been betrayed. Senator Organa is on his way to extract as many Jedi as possible, force-sensitives and Security Forces alike. I've got the other men ready to hold off the clones while we escape to one of the landing platforms." "Any news on Katie?", asked Andy desperately. "She contacted me via comlink. The clones haven't reached the hangar yet.", answered Lytton. "We must get there quickly!", said Andy.

Just then, a platoon of clone troopers began marching in their direction. Andy focussed his force power into a large blast of energy. The clones flew backwards, collecting more clones as they were pushed against a wall. Their DC-15's destroyed, they switched to their sidearms. The Jedi they were fighting disarmed them. Now unarmed, the clones were helpless as they were cut down. Andy & Lytton ran towards the landing platform.

Meanwhile, Bail Organa landed on a landing platform outside the temple. Several clones, including Commander Appo, were on guard.

"What's going on here?", asked Bail. "There's been a rebellion.", answered Appo, "Don't worry, the situation is under control."

Bail tried to walk past them, but Appo raised his blaster. Appo was a lefty.

"I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave.", he said. "Andy so it is.", said Bail calmly. He turned to walk away.

Just then, he heard a clone shout "Blast him!". He was about to pull out his blaster, when he saw a young Jedi jumping towards the clones. In seconds, Appo's leg was cut and another was dead. It was Zett Jukassa, who was attempting to escape with Bail to the hangar. A few more clones went down, when Jukassa was cut down by Seargent Fox. "NO!", cried Bail.

Behind the clones, two more people came. It was Andy & Lytton. Fox attempted to shoot them down. Andy waved his right hand to the left. In an instant, all of the clones flew off of the platform, falling to their deaths.

"Get in quickly! Before more show up!", cried Bail.

Andy and Lytton wasted no time getting in the speeder. Instantly, they were away, as more clones arrived and opened fire.

"Thanks for the evac, Bail.", said Andy. "I wanted to get at least you out of there, Andy.", replied Bail. "Without you, Katie would fall into a deep depression." "Where are you taking us?", asked Lytton. "To the temple's hangar. Me & Captain Antilles are attempting to extract as many Jedi as possible."

As they sped towards the hangar, Darth Vader, Palpatine's new apprentice, took off for Mustafar to assassinate the Separatists council...
