Here is the final chapter. I decided to post it today so that I could post the first chapter of the SECOND book tomorrow!

ENJOY!


Chapter 21: A New Start

Six Months later

"R9, hand me that fusion welder." I said as I patched my Interceptor's engine's cooling tanks with a status patch. R9 wheeled itself over to my tools and picked up the welder, immediately giving it to me. I smiled, "Thanks, bud."

It had been six months since the end of the war, and in this last week I was just starting to relax. The fact that the war was over was quite a shock to the galaxy, just as shocking as the discovery of Palpatine's true identity. Maltus was an untruthful Sith, but he, occasionally, told me the truth. Just after the battle, I sent a team to Coruscant's underworld, mostly around the lower grounds below the Republica 500, to try to find Sidious's body.

The search proved to be fruitful. The team came back with his corpse, a mangled piece of flesh in dark robes, in my opinion. The Maltus clones must've done some real damage before ending him.

Another big thing was that the Jedi Code was changed, thanks to me. After a long debate, I finally got through to the Council about the no attachments rule. There were some objections, but it was nothing I couldn't…

"Shit! My finger!"

I focused back on the status patch as I correctly welded it into place. Wiping the sweat off my forehead, I rolled myself out from under the ship and turned to R9, "All ready?"

A series of beeps and whistles were my answer.

I turned to my wrist comm. and switched it to the astromech translator and read it.

[The patch is holding correctly and the engines are running at full capacity.] R9 beeped.

I nodded, "Good, I installed a propeller boost rocket under the middle hatch, how's it holding up?"

R9 swiveled it dome and beeped enthusiastically, [According to my readings, it is adjusting quite nicely to your modification.]

"Awesome." I said as I took a swig of my water, "What time is it?"

[2:48.]

"Okay." I turned to leave, "You can power down for a while if you want. I'm goin' for a walk."

R9 beeped and shrieked fiercely, [Master, are you sure that you would rather walk to the Skywalker's on foot?]

I stopped and looked at the droid incredulously, "How'd you know that I'm going to the Skywalkers?"

[You said you were.]

"When?"

[Yesterday. I have the conversation in my databanks if you don't believe me.] R9 proposed.

"No, I believe you." I grabbed my dark brown robe off the coat rack, "I prefer to walk, R9. Tell Mom I went out and I'll be back by 6:30."


As I walked through the streets, I noticed many things. One: there were many gamblers on the planet, and two: it was crowded. The streets were cluttered with many species and many sizes of said species. Dex's diner was around the corner, so in a way it served as a checkpoint.

It was several minutes before I saw Padme's apartment building. I ran over to the entrance and, within minutes, was standing in front of the door to the apartment room.

It was specific times like this that I felt at peace. I could feel the gentle Force spirits in the twins, and it brought a smile to my face. Luke and Leia were born into a time of peace for once, and, to think, it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been captured by Dooku.

But then again, the Force lets specific things happen for a reason.

Then the door opened and I saw Anakin Skywalker. He was smiling so wide.

"Blaze…Come on in."


And thus AGFAJ I: The New Jedi ends with peace. The Dark Future that held Darth Vader and such death and destruction has been avoided. The Galaxy has been saved.

Leave a review!

And be prepared for the next installment!
