Azno's troubled past

14 years before the sacking of Coresant, there
was a raid and rescue mission on an underground facility to rescue
children from laboratory experiments to make them into super soldiers.
The facility was in the sewers of Coresant. Leading the mission was a
young squad leader in the marines named Marietta Artegu aka Maria. It
was a group of twenty, one group was an assault crew of 14 and the
other was a stealth crew of 6, and Maria leading. At the entrance of
the facility was the corpses of dead children. Then Maria said "This
maybe disgusting but we need to rescue the children from this torturous
place. Also remember what the commander wanted most before he died. He
wanted these kids to be saved. We are not just doing this for the
Commander we are also doing this for the kids. Assault crew stay put
and stealth crew your with me, any last words." and one of the assault
crew said "But Madam do we have to stay here. With these corpses." and
Maria said "Yes you have to, cause there might be worse things in the
facility and I want you guys prepared for anything, plus I don't think
there will be a lot of people will come back here. to look at dead
bodies." After the stealth crew went through the main lobby of the
place they found holding cells. With in them was failed experiments and
mutants in cages. Maria looked into Two empty yet recently opened
cells, she used her com link to report what she saw "Found some of the
kids, leaving a tracker for you. Be warned, if you thought what you saw
before was wrong, think again. Then as the stealth group went deeper in
they heard something and got into position. At the end the of the hall
way a four year old boy covered in blood came out a door. One of Maria
guards said "Boy get over here." As the boy looked to his left at the
guard he then looked back behind him in fear, then ducked and rolled.
The young boy avoided blaster fire from an unknown personell. Then
Maria and her group moved into attack position as the boy ran into a
room in between them. Then unknown assailant came around the corner and
yelled "Come out, come out where ever you are. I won't kill you
I'll..(Bang)....just." The man fell after being shot in the jugalor
vain and Maria was the one who shot him. She then went into the room
with her crew to check on the small boy to notice few scars and a tatoo
on him. The scar was a tilted cross on his right chest and the tatoo on
his left arm said A N Z 0(zero). She then asked the boy to calm down as
she pulled out some food, then said "Don't worry you won't be a victem
of this place any longer." The boy then said two small words "But OPA."
Maria then wondered OPA(It was a topic over this whole investigation)
She then looked into the boys eyes and said "Boy I need to know what
this OPA is okay." The boy then pointed behind the rest of the crew at
the end of another hallway what looked to be a small girl about his age
hidden in darkness stairing straite at them. the girl then walked up
slowly with a smile. The girl then said "So this is were you are silly.
I've been looking everywhere for you after what happened to father."
The group then was left questioning cause of many facts. The girl had
scarlet red hair with what looked like green highlights, She could
speak so well for her age, the boy knew some combat, and blood all over
him yet few scars. Maria then asked the assault crew to come forward
and guard the kids. Maria and the stealth crew then went to the
labritory and saw 4 dead guards and what looked like a docter. The
docter then tried getting up but couldn't, in a cynial voice the docter
laughed and said "I've created the ultimite weapons. One of knowledge,
and one of combat." then the docter died slowly laughing. Hours later
after the group was out of the sewers and at the Coresant Naval base
the boy and the girl sat at a bench waiting for the other to come out
of the room behind from their dicusion their admiral. Then Maria and
the Guard from before came out with helmets unequiped. The Guard then
said "High boy my name is Jack, Jack Chozulo and me and Maria are going
to look after you from now on. We are going to Dantooine to help with
their militia, it seems to be a good place for a kid to grow up cause
that is were I did. I'm sorry for you friend here she will be looked
after by someone else. As the boy got up Jack said "Do you have a name
fella." the boy shook his head and Jack said "Then lets call you Azno."
Maria, Jack, and Azno then left the room......

Age 8



year??? month 1 day 15



It has been 4 years since my salvation. Recently I have gotten a
job as a farmer and the story gets harder from there. I haven't semm
Opa since that day I left in the shuttle to this big village in
Dantooine. The farmer gave me a Vibro sword to protect the animals from
vinrath and kath hounds but the farmer also didn't give clues to what
was odd about his farm and why his house is a Mansion thats almost big
anuff to be a facility. The farmer has guards outside of his home and
every once in a while and Odd cloaked guys comes by and I'm going to
figure out why and where he goes.

____________________________________________________________

Age 8

year??? month 1 day 17



I was around the farm looking for a lost creature from the heard
and felt and heard something weird it was odd cause it was the first
time that happened to me. I then went to the guard and told him what
happened and he said he didn't here anything. At first I thought it was
odd. I then went to the my boss Oazak Norm(The Farmer) I told him what
happened and he gave me an odd look and told me to get back to work. So
I went back to the place where I heard the strange sound and I could
feel something was there but there was nothing. It was just a prairee
with a heard of live stock out there.



Age 8

year??? Month 1 day 30



I don't remember how many times I've been to that place but I also
can't remember ever using my sword either. I went up the guard I've
been talking to on brake and I asked him to train me with my sword but
he said he couldn't cause he wasn't trained with swords but he had one
on him. So I went on my duties for the rest of the day.



Age 8

year??? Month 2 day 12

I have been on my job but I have kept the my heard at that place
and I can't seem to no why I'm attracted to it. For some reason it is
here but I still haven't seen anything. I want to know how to fight and
I also want to know why I am attracted here. I haven't seen that
cloaked guy anywhere and I believe he had a reason to be at that
facility so I'm coming here to night and I'm going to wait here until
he shows if not I'll sleep in the tool room at the farm mansion.



Age 8

year??? Month 2 day 13 1:00a.m

The odd guy still hasn't showed and I'm getting to worked up about
this. I need to know now I have to many questions that need to be
solved and I'm getting mad about this.



Age 8

year??? Month 2 day 14 12:00p.m.

I woke up to the farmer talking to the guard above me saying
something but I couldn't remember what he said. Just after I got up off
the floor, I heard it again and it was much stronger even the feeling
was stronger. My head was pounding so hard I clutch my head as hard as
could ever do. I needed to know now better than ever. Then Oazak got on
a chat line with visual and the conversation went like this.



Oazak"I think it's time."

???"Are you sure."

Oazak"The boy has it and it's to powerful for him."

???"Are you for sure."

Oazak"Don't Question me, He sences the cave and stands over every chance he can get and it's hurting him."

???"Are you sure he is ready though."

Oazak"YES DAMMIT, if not the boy might fall or die because of it. THE BOY NEEDS THE TRAINING NOW."



Then Oazak Gave me a check better than what I have ever gotten
3,000,000,000 credits on my pay check I usually got about 300 credits
and for some reason he looked at me and said "Follow." I followed him
into the ellevator. He pressed 817 on the buttons and a new keyboard
and scanning system came up. He typed in something as he got scanned.
then the elevator went down and he said "You better relax it will be a
while." I don't know why he said that cause the elevator stopped and
the door opened and a lot more people were down here. Oazak then told
me to sit in the lounge. I waited for nearly an hour before a couple of
what looked like medics showed up. They asked me about my markings and
they asked about anything strange been happening and I told them. Then
they left and another person came up and he looked like another
militant and he ask me questions about what he had in a room, what he
had in his left pocket and then he a picture viewer and made me guess
what he was looking at. After that he left and another houer later a
lady came up dressed in what looked to be a hooded ritual clothing and
she asked me to follow her I did and it was a long walk and it seemed
to long to be the mansion she open a door and said"This will be your
quarters from now on and you can not see your parents or anyone else
from now on. Plus we will notify your parents about this." I fell to my
knees then on my gut to the cold hard metal surfase as I broke down
metally. I did not cry but I wanted to so badly.



Age 8

year??? month 2 day 15

I woke in the same spot that I fell last night and I haven't moved
since. It has been two hours since I woke but I can't seem to get it to
my to myself to get up. It hurts inside and that sound and feeling is
getting more powerfull since I have been here. I feel weak and useless
right now and I'm not sure if I actually wanted to know in the first
place.









TO BE CONTINUED

Age 8

year??? month 2 day 18



It has been three days since I first start training. For my age and

size they told me to get a shortsaber. I did but it's a training saber.

It cause no damage to the body just pain. I know cause on my first day

I had to spar against a senior student here at the Dantooine Academy

and I lost. The other masters said I had potential but didn't have any

training before hand. They next thing they did was teaching me the

basics of the force, I failed yet again. I felt like such an idiot. The

next day they showed me combat techniques of Shii-Cho and said once I

master the basics of it I would be able to learn another. I have been

training constantly ever since. The masters said I have progressed a

lot in a few days and soon I'l be able to learn more of the force.

___________________________________________________________

(The next part of the story is a master's report of one of his students.)



I have been watching the new recruits train since they have come here.

One in peticular has trained non-stop and has excelled quickly. To

quick to even be human of his age to do so. He has not only mastered

the Basics of shii-cho but has also mastered the basics of makashi,

soresu, and ataru. He has learned to grasp the force with only a week

of combat and now he knows force push and pull, force jump, and force

run. We will soon teach him of force protection or healing, it is his

choice. He has also did good on his studies for his young age. It has

only been six months since he started his training and I believe he can

stand up to our greatest senior student here at the academy and I think

it is time to raise him to one of the higher classes to hasten him down

a bit but I fear that would also make him excell quicker.

Age 16

year ??? month 4 day 15

The Dantooine council has deciced it is time for me to graduate and
thus they are sending me to the caves to get my next crystals. I have
completey mastered Shii-Cho and excelled in Ataru, Makashi, and Soreru.
That and I have learned a lot through the force. After I get my
crystals I'll be able to go to Coresant and get training as a Padawan.
I hope that all goes well.



Age 16

year ??? month 4 day 16

I have gotten all the force crystals that I needed. They told me to
get yellow so I did plus I found an Opila Crystal. It's a good thing I
read up on crystals while in the academy. I'm now heading back to the
council chambers so I get to where I need to be.


Age 16

year ??? month 5 day 27



The past few weeks have been horrible. It is a long story so sit down
and prepare for it. After I got my crystals the counsel told me that I
would be not only graduating on Coresant but I would also be get a new
master there. They told me that my choice in the crystal i picked up
was good for my soon future but I didn't know what they ment till now.



On the way to Coresant on the shuttle Harpoon 4 the other Jedi
Masters told me that I had a role in the galaxy and it was more of
there cryptic ways that got me to think. I didn't know much about my
life before age 5 but I remember some dark things but I wasn't sure if
those were my memories. The way there was mostly quiet I barely talked
and watched the pilots fly the shuttle. I was thinking how or what I
would become after graduation. I was wondering what my role was but.
all I could sense was trouble in the near future. I didn't know what
but It had to be something.



As we entered Coresants orbit the other Jedi Masters told me how it
was like for them to graduate paths I should take where to go in the
Jedi Temple on Coresant. They also gave me a new light saber with no
crystals in it so I knew I had to get some later.



When we landed at the Temple I was greeted by other Jedi there
including another student that was about to graduate and she had red
hair and it seemed so vaguely familiar but I couldn't remember where. I
noticed she had a double bladed lightsaber but still I had many things
on my mind so I asked if any of them knew where the mediation chambers
where and I was told.



Hours later I was still meditating when a guy with short brown hair
entered and he said "So you're Azno, am I correct." I replied with a
yes and he said "So I've heard a lot about you and how you trained on
Dantooine. My name is Mako Reoin and I have been assigned to be your
master after you graduate. I already presume that you know the Jedi
code." and I said "I do know the Jedi code but I haven't been trained
under it. I also expected you would be my master when you said you knew
a few things about me." He then replied with "Oh you are a bright one I
see but you are still in need of more training, I will let you be back
to your meditating my future Padawan.



At the Graduation I was assigned to being Mako Reoin's Padawan and
I was at peace for once but it wouldn't last long. Three days later a
lady kept coming back and forth to the Jedi Temple wanting to see her
child. It wasn't Mother Maria but I knew it had to be someones here. I
looked into it but found little and they were all cryptic speech.



Three day after that I was in the Library when I felt something
dark coming, I didn't know what it was but it was like the feeling I
had on Dantooine. All of a sudden I heard a crash I ran to see what it
was then I saw my master in the hallway he yelled "Run my Padawan with
the other Graduate all of a sudden A sith with a long saber stabbed my
Master, I was shocked and so I ran back to the room and jumped out the
window. I landed on another platform and kept on jumping to places that
was close but was heading down till I got to ground lv. I saw that
mother again and she saw me. I grabbed her arm and and told her to
follow and she did.



I grabbed a shuttle and flew off with her. She was in shock and
crying. She kept saying "Oh my poor son why did this have to happen,
Why?" I kept trying to calm her down but nothing helped. The shuttles
Hyper Drive was slightly damaged so we had to fly at a pattern of hyper
space to basic speed the hole way to another safe place. She finally
calmed down and I asked her who she was and she replied with "I am a
mother of an orphaned child. That child was taken in by the Jedi order,
and that child's name is Gaiutus Balthar. My name is unimportant Jedi."
I then told her that I was a Padawan without a master and I could
transport her to any place she chose and she chose Dantooine. I took
her there but I was told through the force to go to Alderaan by an
unknown person so I took off for Alderann after dropping her off.



___________________________________________________________



Later I woke up in Alderaan's orbit do to someone trying to contact
me through the comlink, It was one of the jedi masters from Corusant
who greeted me a few days before the Graduation. He said he was
bringing me in with a tractor beam. He then warned me to prepare myself
cause they where about to go into hyper space. seconds before taking
off I was nearly in the ship and my shuttle bounced around on the
inside of their ship. I later woke up on the ceiling of my vessel with
a trooper in white armor with green markings on his armor asking me if
I was alright. I said I was fine.



As I got up, I knew that I was less than fine and I needed
immediate medical attention I walked to the back entrance of my vessel
and open the door and as I got out there were people looking at me in
wonder. At that moment I passed out.



I later woke in medical with a few jedi around me. They asked me my
name and I told them. Then they asked me what happened and a student
around my age got stubborn and asked me to tell them immediately. I
told them part of the story before passing out yet again.(I didn't tell
how I escaped from the jedi temple.) I later woke up to the docter next
to me. He said It was a suprise to see me up cause I was out for hours
and that there was another jedi on board. He then told me that the
other jedi would like to speak with me when I awoke. They came and I
noticed my twin sabers were gone. I got up put on my cloths and walked
out of medical passing them before they could say a word.



I got me something to eat and the cafeteria guy gave me my sabers.
Over the comlinks it said we were about ready to land on Corusant. I
than ran to the shuttle bay and jumped out sky diving, a thousand feet
above the ruins of Corusant.

To be Continued.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

As I fell I noticed a group of Sith that was
about to ambush an injured group of republic soldiers. 100 ft above the
Sith I lauched a powerful controlled force wave and used it on them and
to slow myself for a soft landing.



As I went up to the group of injured soldiers one laughed
diabolically. He walked up to me and lowered his disguise field and it
was another group of sith. And one was a dark jedi. He ignited his
sabers as I ignited my dual sabers. For some reason I couldn't figure
out why my graduation saber was gone and I notice the Dark jedi had it
and he had a red crystal in it. I then attacked the Sith spy and slew
him with one swipe.



The Dark Jedi then replied with "Now why do you gotta kill my men.
Don't forget I killed your other graduates all but that girl and you."
Out of anger I activated all grenades on the sith troopers and they
blew to pieces and there armor acted as shrapnel on the dark jedi
injuring him. The battle between me and the Dark jedi lasted for hours
until troopers arrived and he fled dropping my sabers saying he was off
for the temple ruins and if I still wanted to battle we would do it
there.



I then rested as the ship and it's jedi came down to help the
civilians of Corusant. It was the 2 masters and three apprentices. The
young boy ran off towards the suburbs and one master said "darn that
boy his master ran off and now does he." I than asked the master what
the boys name was and he replied with "Giautus Balthar" and I was
shocked, the boy that the mother asked me to find just ran off. I had
the choice to either chase him down or go to the temple and face my
opponet. Since they were in the same path I chose to go after both.



Soon I found myself in what looked like the ruins of the refugee
sector and saw what looked like a smuggler cleary high on spice or had
a little to much juma juice. I asked him his name and he replied with
"Imea dat man who takes odors from herself. Yurd a sith Ia just now
it." Starting to yell he then said "Where is Darth Sanders, I'll kill
him." He then drew out his vibro sword.



I clearly knew that this guy was clearly delusional and need to be
detained immediately or temporarily knock out so I knocked him out with
a small force ball to the face. Right before passing out he said "I amz
the gret John Thorn anz I can do magical things.(He then started
breathing in and out heavily flapping his arms up and down.) I can do
transcorn intu a dragon and my girl to my left iz my girzfriend.
LOLarmy unite." He then passed out and I was shocked yet again.



I then went after the boy.


_____________________________________________________________________________________

When I left the ruins of the refugee sector I
saw Gai kneeling down to a dead corpse in the preserved civilian center
and I ran up to him and noticed on the dead guards tags that they had
the same last name. I told the young boy "There should be peace even a
dead guy deserves that. Now you should keep that in mind cause I know I
have failed." Then I told him to go to the other masters as I ran to
the Temple.



When I got to the temple I sensed a dark presence lurking but
couldn't tell if it was the young Dark Jedi. Our lightsabers then
ignited and we classed our selves at each other. The battle lasted
another 30 min when I finally cut him into fourths. One swipe
horizontally from the hips and another from the the left shoulder to
his right thigh.



I then cooled down and noticed all the Jedi that have been slain. I
was in sadness. When I found my master's corpse I noticed that he was
slain with an impalement. I was heart broken. I lost everything even
myself in the battle. I then looked at all the other grads and they
were all grouped together as if they they died united.



While I was looking at the corpses I noticed a faint hint of the
darkside still lurking. I turned around and the presence strengthened
10 fold. As I got completely turned around I got hit with a massive
force wave that sent me flying back into rubble. I got up in pain and
tried to ignite my sabers but as I did they broke into pieces. I looked
up and there was a Sith Knight in front of me and at that moment he
force choked me and I soon passed out.



I later woke up in what looked like a ship wearing a white prison
uniform. The next second I noticed I was in what looked like a machine.
I knew it was something bad and the last thing I remember was light.


_____________________________________________________________________________________

It felt like mere seconds since I saw the light
but I was in a different place. I somehow knew I was in a darker place.
I looked on the nearest command console and noticed the language was
different but i somehow knew it. It was weird cause I never read out of
this language but I knew it. I checked the date and time on the machine
and it said 30 years later. I was in a new place, a new time, and I
somehow knew a language that I never knew.



I was flipping out grabbing my head screaming. At that moment I
looked like a mad man. until a scientist came up and told me that I was
cryogenicly frozen in carbonate. I was mad. I lost everything. My life
my, my master, my friends, and my family.



I then lost myself and found myself after killing the scientist
with a dark technique of the Sith. Guards came and tried to detain me
but I was ticked.The first guard that came after me I though over the
edge of the bunker. leaving him to a deathly fall. The next guard
carried a vibro sword which I stole from him with the force and I
cleaved his head off soon after. I was pissed. I soon took out three
other guards before the former Sith Knight came and detain me with his
strength in the darkside.



I tried fighting it but I was much weaker. He then had me hanging
and choking over the high drop off. but said "Will you just couperate."
and I said "Never not after what you did." He then rag doll tossed me
into the floor he was on. I asked what his name was. and he told me it
was Gildroy Nekt. I wanted to kill him at the very moment but I
couldn't. He left with me lying and beaten on the floor.



I woke up days later in the same spot. I had a chance to escape.
The main doors where open. So I ran as stealthfully as I could but the
guards somehow knew of my position and was shot with a gun set on
wound. I fell to the ground after I was shot bleeding on the floor
trying not to show weakness.



I medical droid some came to me quick and stitched me up. I was this
places inmate and they wasn't going to let me live if I escaped. I soon
ran to a command console and tried hacking there system.



Hours later I succeeded I erased my records here and had me soon to
be transferred to a different facility by shuttle. In the shuttle at
take off I noticed they only had 2 guards and 2 pilots. They put me in
a force cage where only my force power had control. as each time the
guards traded shifts I noticed they all ways carried blasters.



Finally as I meditated to recollect myself I came up with a plan.
So I followed the plan just right before one guard left the room I used
the force to take his blaster away without him noticing. I put it in
the vent shaft. and when the second Guard came in I waited till the
other one came back and wait. Right as he turned his back I used the
force to shut off the force cage, I grabbed the pistol and stealthfully
knocked him out. as he slept I snapped his neck.



I then stuffed his body in the garbage removal and walked out as
my I meen his turn ended. I followed the other Sith soldier to the
containment room and gave him a blaster bolt to the back of his head. I
went up to the two pilots and shot both of them multiple times to death
and flew the ship to Dantooine where I could recollect my former self.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

As I entered Dantooine's Orbit the back of my
ship was shot buy a Republic Cruiser. My engines failed but the wings
were still intact and I glided til I got closer near the ground but now
I was about to crash land again.



I woke up to republic soldiers in full armor with blasters. They
asked me "Whats a Sith doing on Dantooine and how did you survive that
crash." I told them part of my story before they quickly left the room.
I got to the part after childhood right before becoming a Jedi trainee.



They came back with an old man the old man then said "Son please take
off your shirt." I followed the old man's wishes. Suddenly after doing
so his mouth dropped like he was someone I knew. He then said as he
hugged me "Where have been all his time and how did you remain so
young." I was a little shocked and confused but the old man then backed
off and said "Sorry for the confusion but do you remember me at all." I
then said no and he said "I'm your father. Well not your birth parent.
I'm Jack Chozulo. Do you remember me now." My eyes opened up quicker
than light speed. I was suprised and then I passed out again.



I woke up and noticed another person with me and one off the
troopers with his helmet off. The other person was an old lady with red
hair and I noticed it was Maria. I said "Oh my god is that you
Marietta." quietly and she said "Yes Azno it's me and it has been a
long time." she the told the trooper to step forward and say something.
I noticed the trooper had red hair like Maria's and Dark skin like
Jack's. He then said "I am Benson your younger or should I say older
brother." I noticed Benson was in his late 20's and was a major in the
Dantooine militia.



I then got up out of the medical bed and I went to the front door
and noticed the old small town I once lived in was now a small city. I
went to the place that was my old job and it was an embassy building. I
went in and said to the secretary if the place was still here and she
said "No it is not It was taken out years ago right after the attack on
Corusant." I then went to the place where I first found the force right
above the crystal cave and noticed a small entrance. It was now a place
of horror to many people cause illusion kept popping up. I went in and
trained.



Weeks later as I trained, a Jedi Master entered and asked me to
join a in the Kobal militia to be one of the last lines of defense for
Dantooine. I said "I might but not now I have went through a lot
recen...tly and I must regain myself." He left saying his name "Gaiutus
Balthar."
