The Order

“The Earth Senator is arrived.” A droid announced. Grogu straightened at his robes and looked towards the door. “Hello, all, I am happy to be here!” Senator Martin Phillips greeted the frowning Senate a little too enthusiastically. Grogu stood and said, “Welcome, Senator Phillips. Good to see you it is. A grievance in you I sense, however. Yes, hrrrm,” Grogu bowed a little wobbly bow, and left the chamber. Grogu passed a droid and said, “Phillips' son an official message send, inviting him to the force builders. Yrsssss. 

 

Alex

I pushed the button again. Finally, the robot stirred and moved onto its feet. It walked five inches, but then it died. “Alex! There’s a box in the mail for you! My mom said from the kitchen downstairs. I cast a look at my packed, messy room and began down the stairs. My mom handed me the box, and I opened it. Inside were a bunch of small trinkets, a sandy-colored robe, and a letter. I read the letter. In wavy handwriting, the letter read,

Dear Alex Phillips, 

Been accepted at the academy of Force Builders

you have. Your robes enclosed are, AtomConduit parts, 

and a ticket onto the transport to Maldivia. 

Educated in the ways of the force where you will be. 

Brought to Maldivia on September the 1st you will be.

 

 sincerely, Grogu.

 

I fidgeted with the small pieces, until my mom said I had better pack. 

 

---1 month later---

I stepped out onto the metal platform of the spaceport nervously. “Hi, I’m new here, can you tell me where to go?’’ A short boy with blond hair asked. “No, I’m new too.” I said. “I’m Jeffrey! Jeffrey Gonzales!” he said. We walked together into a big temple and sat down in some seats. A frail-looking old green alien came through a door. “Grogu I am. You to know that not all of you will be a group I would like.” he said. “Jee teachah oom-d” a horned alien in the corner said. “Professor Red this is.” Master Grogu said. “He will be taking on Tylor Watts, Zork 85, Gratz, and Orum.” A kindly looking man entered the room after Professor Red and his students left. “Bai O’Donnell will be taking Alex Phillips, Kelsie Churchill, Bryony Luna, and Jeffrey Gonzales.” I left the room with my new peers. An orange-haired girl I assumed was Kelsie Churchill said, ”have any of you made your AtomConduits? I haven’t, because they forgot my instructions, but they sound super cool.” Professor O’Donnell stood from a seat and said in a deep voice, “I am your professor this year. We will leave shortly for Indominous.” I remembered something I read about the Indominous rex dinosaur being very fierce, and kept walking towards a large ship, now nervously. We talked about the Force. When we landed, I could smell that putrid industrial smell of gasoline. An old rotten-looking man came out of his office area and Professor O’Donnell paid him for parking there. Suddenly, WHAM! A huge bird-looking creature had bowled me right off the edge of the lading port into the disgusting detritus of Indominous. 

 

---5 YEARS LATER---

                

                I heard a clicking noise in the corner. I  blasted at the sound and a rat scurried away. Wondering vaguely what the rat was doing, I climbed a ladder up onto a battered building. On the building were Battle Droids that had been used 4 years previously in the Battle of Uvalvo. The Order of the Force Builders had fallen, taken over by Hyperion. Hyperion was a powerful being that arose from the ashes of the Sith. I was its next target. I climbed down and ran to my speeder-bike and raced towards the auction hall. For sale was a freighter called the Star-Jumper. It was an old ship, with four cylindrical entrances on the sides and a large compartment that could store food, droids, creatures, and many other things. “Bidding starting at 10, ten thousand credits, do I hear 11, 11, 11 to the Toydarian with the large hat, 12 to the jacketed human, do I hear 13?” the auctioneer said. I was the ‘jacketed human, so I was in the lead. “13 to the green Hutt, do I hear 14?” I bid fifteen. “FIFTEEN THOUSAND CREDITS TO THE JACKETED HUMAN!” the Hutt backed up, sweating, and staring at me angrily. “Do I hear 16? 16? Last chance, fifteen-fifty? And SOLD to the jacketed human for 15000 Credits!” BOOM. A droid rolled in through a hole it made in the wall. “T̴̢̯̙̲̠͉̀͐̎̇̄h̷̢̜̦̟̠̭̱̼̐͗̈́̽̋̕͝ė̴̡͖̗̦̦̰̘ ̵̰̰̣̳̼̪͗͊̾̃̅͛̕f̵̛͓̦͕̯̩̼̩͂͒̑̾̀̽ú̶̻͚̝̣́͝ǧ̸̠̻̮͙͇͓̾̎́̓́̎̚i̴̢̺̯͙͇̺̻̪͐͗́̋̓̚t̷̢̢̬͕̗̭̮́͒̽͒i̶̪̩̻͇͚͓͕̻̒v̸̛̠̬̩͐͑̓̋̃͊̽e̴̪̓̋̎͒ ̵̆̏̚̕ ̷̜̂͑̒̌͛̄͠͝ş̸̛̛͉͉̙̭̦̲̩̏̇̋̔͠e̴̛̮͚͋ȩ̵͆̃̈̈́͒̿n̷͎̑ ̶̢̘̫͓͔͝å̴̢͎̘̬͇̲͐̊̈̋͑͌͘ṯ̶̡̫̳͎͙͈͂̈́̔̒̀͝ ̴̢͚̻̀͆̿͗̈́D̸̪̗̆́̑e̵͉͙̟̟̳̦͇̰͒̀͒̂͘v̴̜̪̩̋̐͋̾i̴̤̖̼͚̪̤͉͗͌͜ḷ̶̬̦̯̘̝̓͠’̶̢̮̊̌͛͆̑̒͘s̸̼͎̘̙͉̍̅͒̊͐ ̴̳̣̲͎̾̎͜Ą̴̧̗͈͓̘̦͎̃u̶͎̟̍c̶̪͕͓̞̙̖̗͐̂͗t̵̳̜̦̼͎̻́̆͆i̵̖̺̖̜̤̱̿̈̅́̆͐̈́́o̷͕͙̒́̊͘͝ͅn̵̯̞͎̗̈́͋͜͠ ̸̣͉̼̪̹̯͈̗̅̽H̶̳̮͎̼̘̉ͅa̸̡̢̗̹̰͚͎͑͒̿ͅl̵͚̝̣̙̓̑̅̔̋̒̂͝l̶̨̪̗͙͇̃͠.̸̛̘̲̙̾͌” it said, looking very important. “S̶͈̱̯̯͋͌͆̾ę̷̮̖̬͙̯̱͈͐̉͑̀͂̓͂͝ṅ̷̪̮̬͖͚͋̈́̊̀̚͜͝d̵̛̥͛͒͐́̈̒͠ ̸̝͖̏̍͜S̷͓̞̗̥̘͊̓̎̈́̿͊ǫ̵̜͚̝̤͓̿͛͗̾̏l̸̖̝̟̭̂͗͋̆͂͆͜ḑ̴̥̣͍͉̬̝̔̐̅͘͝i̸͔̝̪̮̓̑̄̉̐͜ê̵̼͈̹̦̓͋̄͛r̵̥̗͇̄̂̄ ̵̥̺͔̙̲̺̟͈̀͗̒͗͑̃̆̓Ą̷̦̮̘͍̌͌͒̑͝ų̷̢̲̺͋̀͗̾̎̈̕s̷̢͍͓͖̔́̀̊͘t̴̜̪̽̃̈̐̇͘i̵̡̛͍̰̲̜̣̙͇͐̔͘n̶̨̠̗̣̰̭̻̽͆̋̿̔̋̌͒ ̷̨̧͉̦̰̰͗̾̅̍̃́̑͑K̵̢̭̹̽e̶͉̣̦͖̦̖̽̀͌̆͋̕ę̷̪̝̳͛͂f̶͈͖͇̳̱͙̏̈́̈́̆̽͋̒ͅé̵̛̜͕̲͋́͂̎͛͝ ̵̤̪͗̆̈́͒̊̀̉t̵͈̤͖̩̦͓͈̆̐̓͂̉͝͝o̸̤̣̣̞̯̣͊̑̏̊͛ ̸̗̹͝͝D̴͓͑͛̒̌̕e̵͎̱̹̰̹̘̠͒̓̃v̴͓͗̚͠į̶͖̺̠̇̏͛̿̐l̸̡̡̦̻͎̻̦̋͑͛’̸̨̛̰̣̠͉͉̠̀͐s̸̡͎̠̰̭̓̌̄̍̇ ̶̢͋̈̋̀À̵̤̤́͝͝ṳ̶̮́̏̇̕c̷̢̢̻̞̰͕̠̓͐̆̄͜t̵̯̣͑́̇i̴̡͍̘̋̏ͅo̶̞͔̦̎͑̓ǹ̵̨̦̳̹̐̊̊͝ ̵͈̖̲̘̮̮̱̲̎̓̊̑̆͒͝͝Ḩ̸͈̝͍͙̯̳̗̿̓̽̓̉ą̶̱̩̮͖̆͋l̶̫̩͈̜̣̩̻͗̍̀̔͠l̸̬̦̪̓́́.̵͍̑̕” There was another bang. A soldier came in, armed with a gun and looking around. “Where is Alexander Phillips?” he asked. He pulled a computer from his backpack and put it down on the table. It showed my picture. “OKILLTAKEMYSHIPNOWBYE!!” I yelled. I jumped onto the Star Jumper and tried to grab a blaster, but the soldier shot my arm. I winced in pain and somersaulted into the cockpit, but I hit my head on the chair and passed out. 

 

Chapter 2: The Soldier

                I woke up dazed, as if I had been kicked. My arms were tied behind my back to a pipe. The soldier was piloting the ship through hyperspace.
