Ok, so, basically, this is my first try at a fanfic. I was originally gonna do something with Beyblade, but then remembered I started Legend about a year ago and wanted to see what people think about it, soooo, here it is. (2)OC included, but no romance involved. Includes Boba Fett. (*fangirl squee*)

Ok, this sorta starts right before the Clone Wars, but the clones haven't been made yet, Anikan is still good, Jango is alive (not for long…), Ahsoka doesn't come in until later, and Anikan as two padawans at the moment: my OCs, Auria and Kaiyo. The story is centered on Kaiyo, a very strong, Force-sensitive human-Twi'Lek girl who….well, I won't spoil anything! :D Please review for me! (I promise I won't beg for reviews on everything I post, seeing as how that drives me crazy!) ENJOY!

The rain pelted the hooded figure bent over the railing. Flying to an uncharted planet had sounded fun, but flying in on storm waves was not what the young padawan had counted on. Though she lived on the edge and for adventure, the storm the master Jedi and she had encountered was like a sand storm on Tatooine; but much worse! As the youngling stood there, she wondered if her master and sister padawan were having better luck than she. Master Skywalker was Auria and Kaiyo's master. The story starts 13 years ago, when Kaiyo was just a child living on Ryloth with her Twi'Lek mother and human father…

It is 24 BBY, and a sunny day on the Bright Side of Ryloth. A young Twi'Lek woman tends to gather Loctun flowers while her child plays nearby at the age of 2. Other Twi'Leks are in the field, too. They are also gatherers for the village of Lep'Uo. The men are hunting. Both parties are unaware of the terrible devastation that is about to befall.

The young 2 year old girl is the first to see the Fighters. She shrieks in terror and runs for her mother. By now, the women and children have noticed what is taking place: Separatist attack! The young mothers cried for their infant daughters; old mothers guided their daughters and granddaughters. A Twi'Lek family is close-knit.

"Shek! A'bou!" Shey'Mani cried. Her daughter obeyed and ran for her. By now, lasers, grenades, and bombs were flying. Many women fell, dead, along with many children. Miles away, the men were also fighting and dying.

Shey'Mani and her daughter are now running for the village; for years, the Twi'Leks have been preparing for a day like this and there are tunnels that they would use to hide in. Unfortunately, the tunnels will not be serving the Twi'Leks today. One final blast will claim the life of all that are left. At the same time, two Star Destroyers fire at the last survivors of Lep'Uo. Time slows for one girl as her mother falls to the ground on top of her. The young girl is knocked unconscious from the blast and the weight of Shey'Mani.

While she is unconscious, battle droids are combing the area for survivors. When they reach Shey'Mani and the unconscious girl, Shey'Mani is covering her daughter completely from view, and is left alone. A nearby village makes contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant once the Separatists leave. The Temple dispatches 3 of its finest Jedi: Master Obi-Wan, Master Skywalker, and Master Plo Koon. They also comb the streets and wreckage for survivors, though they know it is hopeless.

While looking in on a home, Anakin Skywalker finds a bug like toy with one eye missing and half of its body charred. Obi-Wan joins Anakin in the home.

"This was a massacre!" Obi-Wan comments.

"No…" Anakin counters. "This was murder… Cold blooded murder!"

Obi-Wan kneels next to Anakin, trying to find something to say. Without expectation, a small piece of rubble is thrown at the Jedi. The rubble hit Obi-Wan, which is knocked to the ground. Anakin turns around, Lightsaber drawn, expecting droids. Instead, it is a young girl, with light blue hair and cat like eyes matching her hair. She was clutching a native headdress in her fingers and had another rock in her hand.

"An'ck ly tr!" she cries.

Obi-Wan rises and places his hand over Anakin's Lightsaber. "Put it away, Anakin. She is harmless…"

Anakin obeys and the girl seems to relax. She takes a tentative step forward, watching the toy in Anakin's hand closely. "Crik'at." She whimpers. "Crik'at…" Without warning, she lunges forward, sobbing, and buries her head in the charred toy.

"Cricket?" Anakin wondered aloud.

"Crik'at. It means, 'guardian'." Obi-Wan explained.

"Crik'at." Taking Anakin's hand which still held the toy, the young girl pulled. "Tish oy ru noh…" She whimpered.

Looking to his master for advice, Anakin followed the little humanoid girl. She led him to the outskirts of town, near the field where the women had been collecting Loctun. She released the Jedi and ran to the fallen beauty of Shey'Mani. Laying her cheek against the Twi'Lek's chest, the young girl whispered, "Meno… Meno… Meno…"

Anakin stood with a questioning look on his face. Obi-Wan answered, "'Mother…' This must have been her mother, Anakin. 'Meno' translates to 'mother'!"

The little girl looked up, clutching her mother's headdress, and pleaded in halting English, "M…Mother….liv….lives?"

Anakin knelt next to the little girl and reached over her head, touching the face of the beautiful Twi'Lek. "No…No, she doesn't, cricket… She doesn't live…"

The little girl laid her cheek against her mother's chest and sobbed. Anakin had to pry her loose from her mother and carry her, kicking and screaming, to the gun ship. That was the last time Kaiyo Schut had seen her home planet; the last time for a long time.

When Senator Padme Amidala heard of Kaiyo's story, she decided to raise her. Kaiyo was raised on Coruscant, but even the luxuries given to her could not dissuade her Rylothian warrior spirit. She would run around Coruscant, occasionally visiting the lower levels for a thrill of running and fighting. It soon became evident that Kaiyo was exceptionally strong in the Force. It was portrayed through her fighting skills. When C3PO told Padme of this, the senator brought this to her most trusted friend, Anakin. Anakin brought it to the Council.

The Council viewed Kaiyo in a simulated fight and agreed that the Force. But they would not agree to let Anakin train her, since he already had his own padawan, Auria. Auria and Kaiyo had grown up together on Coruscant and were good friends. Obi-Wan was able to convince Master Yoda to let Anakin take on two padawans, and the Council soon changed their minds. Anakin became the first Jedi Master to have two padawans at a time. At the time Anakin took on Kaiyo, she was 13 years old. Now fifteen, she was allowed to travel to the unknown planet of Kamino in search of a Bounty Hunter who may have been connected to multiple attempts on Senator Amidala's failed assassination attempts. And this is where our story picks up.

Kaiyo shook the reminiscent feelings off and turned around. She was getting too cold to stand in the rain any longer. As she was headed for the door that led into the strong hold, she noticed two shadows near the Delta flyers. She paused to see if the two shadows would tamper with the flyers. They didn't. Instead, a young voice answer questions and explained the flyers precisely how Kaiyo had been taught. Surprised, Kaiyo watched as the two figures raced inside to escape the pelting rain, the smaller of the two laughing.

Shaking the rain off her cloak, Kaiyo entered the building. "Hello and welcome to Kamino." A Kaminoan welcomed her. The Kaminoan was tall and slender with large eyes. His voice drawled out like a computer animated voice.

"Uh, thank you. Um, I believe my master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, entered about 18 hundred second ago. I must be pointed in his direction." Kaiyo replied.

"Certainly, he was going on a tour of the factory. I can contact Taun We. She was in his tour party. Right this way. I am Laun Ie." The Kaminoan brought Kaiyo to a control room. After contacting Taun We, it was established that she was bringing the Jedi master to see the clone root, Jango Fett.

"Janog Fett? He is here?" Kaiyo asked.

"Yes, he is the reason we are on this mission."

"Mission?"

"Yes, I will explain on the way, please come." Kaiyo followed Laun Ie through the corridors of the palatial platform. "Our mission is to create an army for the Jedi order. A clone army was the request of a certain Master Sifo-Dyas. He sent us the Bounty Hunter Jango Fett. Interestingly enough, even though we offered the Bounty Hunter anything he wanted, all the Bounty Hunter wanted was an unaltered clone."

Kaiyo paused for a moment. "Pardon me? Unaltered clone?"

"A clone without growth serum, without any extra characteristic points in one way or the other, and with a loyal character. That was his only request. We offered him millions of credits, a comfortable apartment (of which he did agree to), and so much more, but all he wanted was an unaltered clone."

Makes you wonder why… Kaiyo followed Laun Ie to an open apartment. Inside, Kaiyo felt uneasiness. Stopping Laun Ie, Kaiyo thanked the Kaminoan. "Thank you, I believe this is Jango Fett's apartment, correct?"

"Yes, it is." The Kaminoan answered.

"Then I believe I can find my way from here. Thank you, Laun Ie." Kaiyo entered the apartment and stayed near the door. Master Kenobi and an older man stood facing each other, staring each other down. There was a younger form of Jango Fett standing off to the side with another Kaminoan. Kaiyo turned her attention to Obi-Wan.

"Ever make your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?" Kenobi asked Fett.

"Once or twice," the Bounty Hunter answered calmly.

"Recently?" Obi-Wan countered quickly.

A pause. Kaiyo held her breath. The tension in the room was strong, but the only one who seemed to be immune to the presences was the Kaminoan. Finally, Fett answered. "Possibly."

Obi-Wan smiled slightly and discreetly winked at Kaiyo. "Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas."

Jango walked in front of the large window overlooking the sea. As he walked past his minor counterpart, he spoke in a foreign language. The young boy walked toward Kaiyo and to a small door a few feet in front of her. Kaiyo watched his every move, her cat-like eyes never leaving him.

"Boba, close the door." Jango ordered his son in Huttese. Boba nodded and walked to a door in the hallway. It opened into a smaller hallway, but that was not what was worrying Boba's father: it was his Mandalorian armor. It had probably tipped the Jedi off. As Boba walked to close the door, he kept his eye on the young girl by the door. She watched him carefully with her cat shaped, blue eyes.

Boba reached the panel by the sliding door and pressed the button that caused the door to slide shut; the door replied with a slow hiss. The girl watched his every move, without twitching a muscle. Only her eyes kept moving. They followed Boba back to where he stood next to Taun We. Boba felt creeped out with all this Jedi business!

Kaiyo finally turned her attention back to the battling men at the front of the apartment. The conversation seemed to be coming to the close, since no words were being spoken. The two men just stared at each other.

"Do you like your army?" Fett asked. He smiled coldly and Kaiyo could tell the Bounty Hunter was toying with the Jedi. A deadly game, seeing as how Fett was the mouse and Obi-Wan the cat.

"I look forward to seeing them in action," Obi-Wan replied politely.

"They'll do their job well, I guarantee that." There seemed to be an encoded message in there somewhere.

"Thank you for your time, Jango." Obi-Wan bowed and turned quickly for the door.

"Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi." Jango replied in response to the retreating back of the master.

Kaiyo waited until the gliding Kaminoan left the room to follow her master out. By that time, Obi-Wan was far down the hallway. Kaiyo had to nearly jog, almost tripping over her cloak in the process. She caught up to him and walked besides him. He finally paid her attention. "Jango is hiding something; I must contact the Council. Keep an eye on Fett and contact me by using this comlink." Obi-Wan handed Kaiyo a small comlink and she attached it to her armband under her cloak. "I must hurry." And the Jedi was off.

While Kenobi took off down one stretch of the glassed catwalk, Kaiyo ran in the opposite direction. While she hurried, she quickly became aware that she might not catch Jango or his son, Boba, and be able to track them; or worse, they would catch her! As Kaiyo turned the corner, she slammed into a small body. Both went down hard. Books and holoprojectors scattered in every direction.

"Oww!" Kaiyo rubbed her head and turned to see the young Fett hurry to gather his things. Kaiyo noticed a creepy looking animal besides Boba's left foot. She looked closer while helping to pick up the books and noticed it was a Kamino Eel. Kaiyo shuddered, holding a heavy black book. Boba snatched it from her grasp and ran down the way Kaiyo had come.

"Hey! Come back here!" Kaiyo quickly rose and ran after the kid. "Get back here! A thank you would be nice! Hey!" Kaiyo reached a glass door that she had seen Boba run through. She tried to use the panel to open the door, but it was obviously hereditarily locked. Kaiyo took a deep breath and, calling upon the Force deep within her, she walked through the door. Gasping, Kaiyo stood out in the pouring rain.

Ahead of her stood a huge ship, to her left was Boba at a slot in the wall. Jango was nowhere to be seen. Kaiyo found a darkened place behind some crates and brought out her comlink. "Master Kenobi? Master Kenobi, come in! Kaiyo here." The comlink crackled.

"Kenobi. Kaiyo, have you found Jango?"

Kaiyo felt uneasiness in Kenobi. Looking out from her hiding spot, Kaiyo could see Jango loading some hover crates with his son's help. Kaiyo crouched down again. "Yes, Master. The coordinates are 03408O9. Think you can get her fast? The Fetts are loading their ship and getting ready to take off!"

"Coordinates 03408O9. I'll find a way there." Kenobi replied.

"You'll have to find a way on to the landing pad; the door is hereditarily locked. Only a Fett can unlock it."

"Understood, Padawan. Keep an eye on the Fetts and stall them if possible. Kenobi, out!"

Kaiyo turned off the comlink and peered over the crates. Jango was paying attention to a datapad while Boba checked to make sure the guns weren't clogged. Kaiyo had to think fast; if she couldn't stall them, the Fetts would get away and likely leave no trail for the Jedi to follow. Kaiyo glanced around frantically. She quickly reached toward the edge of the landing pad and felt something slimy. Kaiyo gripped the slimy ball and threw it toward Jango Fett. The slimy ball of seaweed bounced off the Mandalorian battle armor. Jango turned toward where Kaiyo was crouched and dropped the datapad.

Boba asked his father what was the matter. "Nothing, son…. Just a moody aiwha." Jango bent to pick up the datapad and, without thinking, Kaiyo rushed forward, kicking the datapad away. Jango yelled in anger and straightened. "How did you get in here?" Jango asked angrily.

"She's the one! She's the one that made me late, Dad! She's the one that followed me!" Kaiyo stood paralyzed. That was by far the stupidest thing she had ever done! Jango seemed to growl at her presence. She took a tentative step back, but Jango grabbed her by her wrist so tightly she yelped.

"Thought you could stop us, huh?" Jango sneered and removed his heavy Mandalorian battle helmet.
