Time went by as Xeo’s mind still has images of what happen in his pass. Eve’s power gave him a chance to let The Force show him what had happen in his pass, despite what Eve thought could never be possible from Xeo or Dreazin to have within their bodies. The flashbacks of the culture tank were a moment he could vaguely remember. His’ point of view was able to see a large room that is confined all around with no windows or any signs of exterior views. Control panels systems were dismembered from the inside out while the power kept the functional ones alive. A group of people in white lab coats came into view as another familiar face showed up, which was the professor from Xeo’s flashback to when Dreazin turned. The head professor of the New Republic had a team researching what was alive in the tank. “This is it fellow scientists! This is our answer to our victory over the Yuuzhan Vong scourge. The samples we have been able cultivate in this tank has the potential to give the edge we will need. The understanding of these cells are a scientifically breakthrough. Even our scientific understanding of bio chemicals would have to be thrown out of all prior knowledge and start anew with this,” the professor said in front of everyone and everyone applauded his words that he spoke of. Only one person didn’t like the idea of this discovery to be used as a tool to win again the Yuuzhan Vong. The old Jedi in his vision before came into view and look familiar to Xeo.

“I must object to this kind of usage of biological warfare. It’s not natural on our part,” said the old Jedi while the professor looked at him as if he was trying to fight against him.

“You tell me why we have been losing so much to the Yuuzhan Vong in countless battles,” said the professor looking down on the old and grey haired Jedi in Xeo’s vision. “You and your kind haven’t been improved in your tactical engagements against such a fearsome and powerful race of beings. The Jedi has only just stayed at whatever they have to defend against and run away to lose again and again. I’m surprise that even Master Skywalker hasn’t even come up with anything better. The biotechnology from the Yuuzhan Vong are anything but sure power than what we have been making in our R&D labs to fight them off…and so far we haven’t be able to make them pause in any battle in the Outer Rim,” the professor mocked him for everything he stands while turning back to the tank, “…This is our victory. Our answer, our key against the Yuuzhan Vong!”

“You know what you are saying? What you are trying to do is play with such thing that you are not ready to take into account. What if your project backfires? It could me the end of the Core Worlds and The Jedi Order…or everything. I wouldn’t even think if the order should let you keep your project going anymore,” said the old Jedi while looking at the tank that is consider to him an abomination to The Force if ever used on any kind of life form. Xeo’s point of view is now turned towards the folder that had the titled “Project J” on it. He put the document down and looks towards the scientists again. “Inhumane was what you are thinking. Even if this could be an opinion...we…the Jedi will not answer this as a means of victory over our enemy. I…can’t even being to fathom if a Jedi has gone to The Dark Side…I can’t even…”

“You must understand…we are going ahead on this to ensure that nothing will halt our plans to save the Republic again. If it wasn’t for you, the Jedi, to lose to a Sith Lord form your lack of abilities in the first place when Sidious and Vader were around then we could bring this information to Skywalker…but I have no choice in the matter,” said the professor as he kept reading the data from the old and rusty control panels.

The old Jedi wasn’t moved by it emotionally until he said, “I just want to see my two sons live through this. By The Force forgive me…Dreazin…Xeo.” With that being said the old Jedi ignites his green bladed lightsaber and started to rush at the tank but was shot by some of the scientist’s armed escort. One of them moves over and is about to shoot his blaster rifle into his head but the professor stopped him.

            “Don’t kill him…yet. He would be the start of this project. We shall see how midi-chlorians will do when these cells, once vectored into a Jedi’s body. Then we shall show the Jedi Order how we saved everyone from the Yuuzhan Vong…even if I bring doom to this galaxy. From what I know…this creature has already done so before ages ago…” the professor said while the vision of Xeo’s mind started to leave him and all was blank. “I know that Jedi…he felt like…no it couldn’t be!?” Xeo said to himself as his senses started to come back to where he is. He felt warm on his face and chest as the slowly opens his eyes to see that he wasn’t outside. The feeling of the cold had left him a while ago as he can tell the rays of sunlight kept him from going into hypothermia even if he was indoors. Taking his time, Xeo slowly looked around without moving his body to see if he felt any pain in his body. His lightsaber was still on him as he shrugs of the feeling of waking up from a long night sleep; however, his sense of smell picked up something unusual. The will to have his fill was unchecked as he could tell his senses for smelling was heightened, which no Jedi didn’t need help from The Force. The sent he was being flooded with was natural with nothing artificial. It felt to him a sweet aroma that wasn’t even from food or even thought about having breakfast in the first place.

            “Doesn’t smell like anything edible but…the smell…makes me feel at peace. I wonder what it is…” Xeo said softly to himself while beginning to move; although, he wasn’t forgetting about his main goal. He had to find Dreazin and Eve while ending their plans to whatever they were going to unleash onto Earth; however, the smell kept him at bay while wasn’t in a rush to go after them. The Jedi’s willpower to move his head finally came as he slow turned while feeling the sent even stronger. Turning his head right and getting his view out of the sunlight he was only seeing black in front of him. “Huh?” Xeo spoke as his eyes were on the back of a leather jacket; because, his neck was still sore from last night’s run in with Eve and Dreazin. Tilling his neck to where his head should be Xeo was then looking not just the leather jacket but strain of hair…blonde hair. “…can it be?” he said to himself now that he knows who he is looking at. His curiosity started to get the best of him as the hair and body started to rotate. The leather jacket Xeo was looking at was the back as it went away and he was only seeing the front of it. Then, the Jedi was able to get a glimpse of the woman on the night he came to Earth. “Its…her,” he said in his mind while being to take in the details of Aya’s face, while knowing her eye color since she was still asleep. Her face was, without, anything but soft skin as white as he was. The nose was small but strong with less of an inch of being outwards. Lips had no makeup added as he can see her natural pigment color. Her hairstyle was with some layers in front of her ears and the rest to fall behind her. Xeo could feel the sent becoming more prominent in his lungs has the urge of inner peace could be notice by his own train of thought. “This is…odd. I feel…like nothing is bothering me. Even after last night with all the carnage Eve did to those people. I don’t have the will to morn them…but. I found her and…I…I can’t understand why I am…at peace.” The Jedi didn’t feel the need to question why he wasn’t able to get up and go after Eve and Dreazin on his own. He needed to speak with Aya but didn’t feel like waking her up; however, the time he had to see her asleep ended as her eyes began to open. Xeo only had a brief moment to see her eyes up close, which was the color of his lightsaber, deep Aquamarine and shimmering right into his own eyes. Of course, Aya didn’t count on Xeo waking up before her but he could only blame herself for letting her guard down as she quickly rose her upper body and kept looking at him.

            “You…! Don’t move!” Aya said to him. She started to go for her side arm and to point it at Xeo. With her gun drawn with fast reflexes she made herself notice to Xeo that she was the one in charge.

            “There’s no need for that. I’m not going to try anything against you. I am unarmed and not willing to even lay a hand on you,” he said to Aya while raising his hand above his head as he started to get out of bed. Aya then started to trace Xeo’s every move as she stood up and pointed her gun at him.

            “I’m just going to ask this nice and simple whoever you are. You were at Carnegie Hall when someone started killing people. Everyone was burnt alive but you were there…with no harm done to you.”

            “You mean…Eve was killing people.” Xeo said as Aya didn’t budge her aim.

            “How did you…?” Aya said while Xeo interrupted her.

            “Everyone has been asking me “why was I there on that night and who am I,” while I’ve been trying to find out answers for myself,” he said while lowering his hands and crossing his arms in front of him. “I’ve been looking for Eve, if that was she is calling herself. She knows someone I know very close to me and has met her…unharmed.”

            “Like you? I don’t see any burnt marks on you at all too.” Aya said to him.

            “Yes, which I raised interests into finding out about…you. I was there on that night as you were. I’ve also come to the conclusion that you were there maybe moments before everyone there died. I found shell casings that could be the right caliber to you gun you are now pointing me with…and if that’s true then I know you can’t be hurt by her power then I could.” Aya started to lower her gun while his speech was making her feel weird about his man being the other suspect that Baker wanted under wraps.

            “…What?”

            “I’m not aware about it either. I know this has to do with something you…your ill-tempered friend were talking to Dr. Klamp about,” he said while Aya cut him off.

            “How did you…?”

            “…There is a lot about me that only…Will if I recalled knows about and even he wasn’t taken seriously. I think…Daniel knows little about me too but I helped him not get himself killed while he wanted to do anything in his power to save his family. I’m glad Ben was able to come back and…” he kept saying while Aya started to have mixed emotions at Xeo.

            “…What…how can you know…?”

            “About mitochondria and its abilities…?” Xeo said to Aya while she just kept listening. “I don’t know about them either. I had a moment to talk to Eve about this while hearing what Klamp was saying. There organisms with a will over their own...a parasite he said. It made me think about how everyone was alive on this world that didn’t have midi-chlorains. They would all die without them but…for some rather strange occurrence. Klamp explained how mitochondria were, in fact, keeping everyone alive on this world. It’s almost how my midi-chlorains keep me…and others alive in the same way. I didn’t think they would be parasites to make me use the powers of…” Xeo then stopped his speech while looking at Aya with her expressing only confusion. “…I’m sorry. Where are my manners? I went off and forgot about who I am and who you are. Please…sit down. This might take a while,” he said to Aya as she put her Beretta back in her jacket and sat on the bed.

            “I don’t get any of this. I am willing to hear what you have to say but so far I’m already…” Aya said while Xeo could feel her emotions being mixed in her head.

            “…You shouldn’t feel confused about this or…afraid of what you are or what I am.” The Jedi said to her as Aya couldn’t even believe how he was able to know what she was feeling within her mind. “…I told Daniel about what I am for only a brief moment until I had to come after Eve and even try to run into you. What I am is a…” Xeo said until the door opened up. It was Maeda as he saw Aya and Xeo awoken from their sleep. They both look at Maeda while the Japanese man took into account that Xeo was awake and started to back away from them. Xeo started to walk over to Maeda while raising his hands. “Don’t be alarmed…I’m not here to hurt any of you. Where’s Daniel…I know he would be nearby if she is here.” Maeda slowly turned his back to a wall while Daniel snap his body to the door opening with his gun already drawn at Xeo’s head.

            “Ha! Got you this time with my gun where I should of pointed before, chump. Now I’m gonna make sure that…” Daniel yelled at him but Xeo rolled his eyes at Daniel’s attempted to control the Jedi.

            “Geez…haven’t you learned from before, Daniel?” Xeo said while he commanded The Force, through his fingers of one hand, to pull the revolver away from Daniel and held it on his own. Everyone in the room stepped back as Xeo was displaying his powers of The Force. Maeda haven’t even seen anyone does this before and was being reminded of some of his earlier days with Japanese animation’s stories. Aya, on the other hand, though she has seen it all from what Eve could do while still in awe of what Xeo was showing right in front of her. Then, with a move of his hand, Xeo took all the pieces of Daniel’s gun and slowly put all of them into his hands and gave his bullets into his back pocket of his pants. Daniel wasn’t moved by this but still was on guard for anything Xeo would do next; however, knowing his abilities at his point, Daniel could only think of mouthing off at him.

            “That’s going to cost you a good amount of cash to get that gun replaced.” Xeo smiled as he was making his gun whole again in his pocket, unaware that Daniel couldn’t feel a thing.

            “Why don’t you get it out of your pocket, now?” he said to Daniel. Without thinking twice about what he just said, Daniel looks for his handgun and pulls it out. It was in tacked without any parts missing and even tighten up for years of wherein out. His eyes couldn’t comprehend the skills of Xeo while he doesn’t have a clue of who or what he is.

            “What are you?” Maeda said to Xeo as Aya and Daniel waited for an answer.

            “I guess it’s now or never…” Xeo said as he slowly takes in a breath before explaining himself to everyone in the room. Maeda took a seat on the bed while Daniel wouldn’t settle down from what Xeo did to him just now. “…I am someone from not of this world. I am an outsider…a foreigner…to everyone on this planet. I am…”

            “An alien!?” Maeda interrupted while Xeo nodded his head. Aya and Daniel put their hands on their foreheads from his outburst as they shook in shame. Maeda, being a scientist himself, couldn’t resist saying it without proof, which he had as an “alien” was right in front of him.

            “Yes…if you put it like that but I’m humanoid. Like you...the difference is very small or hardly noticeable, which is probably within my own physiology. As of right now the only thing that makes me stand out from you all is…”

            “…You’re get up?” Daniel smirked at him while Aya and Maeda looked and ponder about his outlook.

            “…I mean the mitochondria. I’ve never heard of it until two nights ago and just yesterday I learned about how it’s similar to my midi-chlorians. It’s the reason that I am what I am. Daniel knows what I am talking about; however, I didn’t it explain it fully with the time I had back then.” Daniel nodded while still giving him a look of payback across his face. “…What I am is called a…Jedi.”

            “You’re people from another world?” Maeda said out loud again in the middle of Xeo’s speech.

            “Will you give the illegal alien a chance to explain how he landed in American soil!?” Daniel snapped back while trying to understand who Xeo is.

            “…Illegal…right. Jedi are not a species but are sentient beings with a gift. Jedi are beings of any species and race that can have a power within their selves called…The Force. The midi-chlorians within our cells can communicate with The Force and use it for good…or evil.” Aya’s mind felt less traumatized from last night now she was hearing Xeo’s view on a power she might have and begins to relax her emotions for the moment. Xeo took this into account as he kept talking, “…I won’t go into the history of how the Jedi came to be. When one is able to “listen” to the midi-chlorians within yourself…your able to hear them back and know how to use The Force and be in unity with all. One cannot simply be able to not hear them and use this power without training, and even the correct training being taught to Force-Adapt users. Those who show promise in their ways of The Force are able to move on to more advance…and even grander views of this power. So far, only Daniel was able to see how I could heal your body after I broke your hand, shoulder, and back…but he got back up again once I used my Force Heal powers on you.” Aya raised an eyebrow at Daniel while he looked and just shrug his shoulders. “There are many other techniques in The Force that allows someone to jump higher, run faster, able to move objects with your mind, pushing and pulling with a move of your hand, and more…the skills of such talents can never be truly master in most life times. There are even older and wiser species that can live 10 generations of human life and they can’t even tap into the deeper mysteries of The Force. However…not all things in The Force doesn’t come without disciplined and patience. For without training to not give into arrogance and taking easier paths to learning…one might find themselves in a…much darker life…” His tone started to sink deep as everyone kept listening without interruptions, which was now apparent for Maeda now that he was hooked into Xeo’s view of the Jedi and The Force. “The Jedi have always been known to understand The Force and is abilities on life and its surrounds for The Force surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together…at least someone said from an old holocron. I won’t get into that. What I am…to The Force is a servant of The Light Side. Jedi are known to master The Force for protection and self defense. We aid those who are in danger of death or worst while helping out places in the galaxy where turmoil and evil goes unchecked.” Aya then breaks Xeo’s moment of speaking.

            “Like right now? You knew this city was going to be attacked by Eve?” Xeo shook his head.

            “No…for some reason we haven’t even heard about this planet called Earth. The New Republic star maps never recorded this world…even in the far out regions of the Outer Rim or even in the Unknown Sectors.”

            “Woh who woh. Hold on! New Republic…the hell is that!?” Daniel said while having a confusing tone in his voice.

            “It’s the government of the republic remade and rebuilt from a terrible war that happened years ago. This might go off topic so I’ll be brief. The Jedi have been around for generations as I said before. During these times the Jedi have been dealt with the Core Worlds central hub of government and leadership called Coruscant where all law making, shipping, and training of Jedi was back then; although, we had many other training grounds and temples on other worlds. Over time, however, there were Jedi who felt that the powers of The Force had more than just wisdom and guidance. Those Jedi started to seek…power for their own but have forsaken the use of The Light Side. These Jedi were then rouge to The Jedi Order and begun training in another aspect of The Force…The Dark Side.”

            “You’re not a Jedi then?” Daniel said as he wanted to know about how Xeo’s powers were justified for last night’s carnage that he saw.

            “I’m Jedi…why? Is it my black outfit?” he said while nodding his head up and down to show his robes.

            “…I mean for what you did to Central Park’s Zoo area.” Daniel recalled Xeo to answer for.

            “I was defending myself from what Eve did to the animals in that place…my powers were for the side of good. It just ended up…like that. Sorry, heh.” Xeo shrugged his shoulders while Daniel just kept an eye out.

            “Self defense…bah! You blew off a wall and a door in that place…and slashed up a police car with that…laser thing of yours.” The Jedi told him back.

            “It’s the truth. The only powers I used to do that kind of damage was neutral to both sides of The Force. If a Jedi is feeling threaten and has no other means to end it without resulting to violets than the Jedi will do what Jedi can. There was no Dark Side means I used on those creatures. As for the slash vehicle…that was not The Force doing…it is something a Jedi must know. It is a tool and a weapon for a Jedi and a representation of one’s self training and life’s hardships, a Jedi’s Lightsaber. Yes, Daniel…my “laser thing” you said. You’ve seen it…you two didn’t…” Xeo said as he gets his weapon clear from everyone but be able to see. “…This might feel bright but you get use to it.” Once he said that he ignites his lightsaber and lets it shine for all to see. Maeda, for a few seconds of being professional, dropped to his knees and was in awe. He couldn’t believe a technology could be made let alone be in reality. A dream of only many would think could be impossible to be constructed in would be shown in his favorite animes. Aya, on the other hand, was in awe but felt the need of a weapon to be limited for Close Quarter Battles. Daniel just sat back and feared that any second Xeo would use it against them. “This…is a weapon of a Jedi; earlier models of the standard lightsaber were siege weapons and were connected to a belt cable battery pack before the power cell made it all different. It’s not a random as a blaster, weapons from the New Republic. Pure energy that is able to cut through most things with only a few exceptions of raw minerals and the same energy yield.” Xeo starts waving the lightsaber around as the hum of it was being herd while it vaporized the air around it. Maeda slow started to rise up and walked over to Xeo, like a moth to a flame. The Jedi sensed that Maeda wanted to hold his weapon for a moment. “It’s not a toy, Maeda. I know what you want. My powers are able to sense one’s emotions with enough training to be second nature.”

            “But…but…I…I always seen these on my animes shows and I…I can’t believe that it can exists!” Maeda pleaded to Xeo. He thought he got his point across but after what Daniel went through with Xeo before would let him hold his weapon to show at as a sign of friendship.

            “It’s heavy…so stand up right,” he said. Maeda walked over as he starts to grip the lightsaber. Xeo checked his hands to be sure that they weren’t near the activator as Maeda started to wave it around slowly. “It’s like a young padawan trying his weapon for the first time, heh. Kind of reminds me of how I was. As you can see the lightsaber were different then what you are seeing now. It’s been over years and years that the Jedi changed the plans for the weapons of guardians of peace and justices.” Xeo then pauses for a moment to beginning to recall the twilight ages of The Jedi Order. “…Before the dark times…before the fall of the Old Republic and the rise of The Empire.” Maeda kept waving it around until he got too involved with the lightsaber that he was clumsy and made the blade goes through the TV set.

            “Sorry!” he said to Xeo.

            “Damn it, man. It’s alien technology and already you took out a TV set. Give it back to him…sheesh.” Daniel orders him to while his tone of voice started to show signs of anger. Xeo notices this as he got his lightsaber back from Maeda and was even about to start talking more on The Dark Side of The Force.

            “It’s rather predictable. The Dark Side that is, Daniel.” Xeo said while looking at him.

            “What?” he said as he had no idea what Xeo was getting at.

            “Getting back to what I was saying before about the Jedi who used The Dark Side of The Force. Dark Jedi as they are called went to war against the Jedi countless times before. They gave into their emotions of fear…greed…lust…and hate towards the Jedi. Dark Jedi were even sometimes called Sith. Another titled bestowed onto those who were the very essence of The Dark Side and the reason for most of the galaxy’s turmoil, they were still Dark Jedi none of less. Countless conflicts of Jedi vs. Sith, Light vs. Dark were recorded throughout history but it was the time that the Old Republic fell to a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious and formed it as The Empire. During that time, A Jedi named Anakin Skywalker, a promising and powerful Jedi was being influenced by Sidious from which Anakin wanted to save his wife. Though he tried to agree to Sidious’s idea that the Light Side wasn’t able to save her that he would give into his fears of losing his love one. By doing this he left the name of Anakin and was dubbed Darth Vader. Although he did it out of love…his wife did die in the time he was falling to the Dark Side. His hate then made him into more of a weapon for Sidious to control. Him and his apprentice, Darth Vader nearly wiped out all the Jedi in the known galaxy until one day…Vader’s son, Luke Skywalker found out about his power. He trained in the ways of the Force from the last few Jedi Masters until he was able to confront Vader and Sidious. Sidious, being overly powerful then Luke, at the time, was able to make Vader see the light within his own spirit and he defeated Sidious while sacrificing himself to make his son live…and the Jedi’s ways. The New Republic was born and The Jedi Order was made anew as Luke was the grand master. And as of now…the New Republic is on the verge of falling again by a new enemy which the likes we haven’t seen.” Xeo rests a moment to get his mind back on track. “…Which is why I was saying to you before, Daniel at Central Park?”

            “Cool it…right?” Daniel said with little warning that Xeo was giving him. Xeo walked over and looked right into his eye and was able to feel his anger and lost of his wife.

            “Daniel…listen to me. Jedi are not beings that just let something slip by unnoticed if it affects a person’s life so much that it could be a for telling of the future. I am sorry about your wife and I have my deepest respects of what you are going through but…” Daniel walked right up to Xeo and starts to hover his head over the Jedi’s own head.

            “You know nothing about my wife…why would I even let you apologies to me if you couldn’t even help out…” Daniel said before Xeo cut him off.

            “I can feel the anger you have within your body. I know, as a cop in this city, or any other city in the galaxy that it’s tough for you due to your work, detective but you must understand. Anger isn’t your answer for solving problems you can’t avoid or fine an easy way out of such things. That leads to the Dark Side, even though you’re not a Jedi but it still can eat away at you. I’m sorry about your wife as I felt it too. I couldn’t move at the time that Eve took her life and twisted it into nothing now. The pain I felt…it’s the same as yours.” Daniel back down from Xeo and Aya was seeing something for the first time. Her partner was listening about his problems from someone that wasn’t form this world.

            “I…I…only have it because its…”

            “…Its right?” Xeo said while Daniel began to think about his own personal work style. “The anger you have is only a little means of survival in a world like this but it isn’t meant for you to take it out on your fellow staff. Right now Baker is going to find a way to make sure you seek help for your problems…but I can do that right now…Ben is safe and he is the only family you have left. Learn to seek the best thing in life for him.” Daniel started to feel sad from Xeo’s teachings. He started to let out tears of lost while Xeo kept talking, “…Now feel how your wife would be if she saw you the way you are.” Unknown to Daniel that Xeo was using his Jedi skills to mend his mind up of the lost of his wife and the start of a new lifestyle with his only son.

            “I…I never thought…someone like you would…be able to,” Daniel said while feeling the emotion of joy in his heart and he kept crying. Aya was astonished at the feat Xeo did while Maeda was trying to see how he was able to make Daniel cry for joy.

            “Once you find your ideal harmony…nothing will break your spirit. Not even anger.” Daniel walked out of the room to recollect himself. Maeda walked over to Xeo and ask him a question of many to come.

            “How did you do that?” Xeo let out a small grin towards Maeda.

            “The Force…can work in many ways. Daniel’s problem was for me to fix. I had to find the means of his anger and turn it away and let his son to be his only thing he needs to chariest.” Maeda then bowed to him as he thanks him for the answer, which Xeo thought was weird because no one on Earth has seen a Jedi before. “Uh…I never got your name.”

            “Oh…it’s Kunihiko Maeda. Mr. Alien,” Maeda said while Xeo rolled his eyes. “Sorry…Mr. Jedi…Jedi…that does ring a bell. From what you were speaking before…the Sith and Jedi battles,” he said while hesitating to get the right word out.

            “Go on…” Xeo said

            “…’Jidai’ I think it was called. It means…drama samurai.”

            “Samurai?” Xeo said in questioning Maeda.

            “Yes…warriors who fought in ancient times on Earth with swords and lived by a code of honor.” Xeo then had a soft laugh.

            “And you haven’t seen Jedi before…or “Jidai” as you say?”

            “Just the one right in front of me? Heh?” Maeda and Xeo laugh as they were expressing each other’s humor side. “Anyways…I’m going to check on Daniel to see if he has his car tapped off with gas.” Maeda walks around out of the room as Xeo was left with Aya.

            “I…I didn’t know…all that you just said. About whom you are. Your power…and your responsibility…” Aya said while believing in him, for the moment now, that his power was kept in check as Aya wants to do so.

            “Whatever you feel…whatever the power you have in you. It’s there for a reason…all you have to do is choose how to use it. Come…let see if Daniel has learned to not give into anger anymore.” Xeo and Aya walked out of the building as they saw Daniel and Maeda yelling at each other. Xeo just has a moment up disapproval and upset being expressed as Aya was not understanding what was going on. “What’s going on? Daniel…what is with you and your emotions now after all I did for you? You’re giving into anger again all because of what…?” Daniel looked at him while Maeda started to crack a smile and then laughed. Daniel then came over and just exploded with laugher too for the moment.

            “I’m…ha. I’m sorry but I was showing him my reactions to when he said that you were a cosmic samurai warrior. Hahaha!” Xeo didn’t know if he should feel insulted or glad to see Daniel happy.

            “By The Force…is this how people from Earth deal with their happiness?” Xeo said in his mind as Daniel and Maeda calm down from laughing.

            “Wow…sorry that was just a damn fucking funny. Sorry about that…uh…ya what the hell is your name?”

            “Now you ask after all this time…? Its Xeo Xeniro.” The Jedi said while Maeda looked at him again with another question on his mind.

            “Xeo…Xen…iro…hmmm. Are you sure you’re not a samurai? That does sound a bit…Japanese or Chinese?”

            “…Is that one of your species on this world?” Xeo said while Maeda chuckled about. He fixed his glasses and gave him an answer.

            “No no…were all human…just different races.”

            “I see…well…no. I’m just a humanoid from Corella. I have no ties of being Japanese or Chinese…that’s all…even if anyone from Earth found a Jedi before and breed with one.” Xeo said while agreeing with Maeda; even though, he kept thinking he might have traits but was quick to judge. Aya walks up to Daniel to see the effects of Xeo’s Jedi abilities at work.

            “Daniel. You feeling ok?” she said as the cold wind of winter nicks at her face. Daniel came back from laughing to being himself without anger or fear while looking at Aya and answering her question.

            “Are you kidding me, kid? I feel like I can take on anything. I mean I can see how I felt about losing my wife and the wrongs I’ve done back at the station but I have Ben. I can see how he would grow up and become a man like me…or even better. She would be proud of that. I would know. I can feel that eternal love still within my heart…” he said while looking off into the sun and sky to know that the lost he had endure finally passed him as he looked back at Aya. “Heh…now that I think about it. What about you?” Aya just gave him an expression of confusion to the question Daniel just posed to her.

            “Uh…what are you talking about?”

            “Come on…I mean. Look at you. You’re…what? 25 and you still haven’t…” Daniel kept saying while Maeda looked over with a look of curious on his face while Xeo stared at Maeda’s reaction in disgust that made him looked away.

            “Stop it, Daniel. I don’t have time for this. We have other things to worry about then…my status. Eve is what we need to look for…not…that!” she said while keeping it down for Maeda not to hear and for Daniel to know only.

            “Ahhhh…okay you made your point. But I got to warn ya…those looks of yours aren’t going to last forever,” he said while looking around the rest of the block to just hear nothing but Maeda’s self talking, Aya’s footsteps, and Xeo clothing bring brush cleaned by his hands.

            “The nerve of Daniel to say that out loud in front of not just Maeda but Xeo too. I don’t know how Xeo was able to make him so happy but it’s going to get annoying again if he starts acting like he’s drunk. Giving out…that kind of information in front of…strangers. I…” Aya’s thought track pauses for a moment to see Maeda. He was walking around and talking to himself about Xeo and his lightsaber as if he couldn’t still believe that he was real. Aya then got back on track to herself thoughts. “…Eve is the only thing I need to stop. I can’t think about something like that at this time. Well…I mean Daniel is happy now that he thinks his wife would enjoy his new look on life, even after her death. Not even a slight sign of revenge…all from that…Jedi…his power is…something else.” Aya said while she looked at Xeo to just see him brushing his clothing even more and checking lightsaber for any problems after Maeda’s mistrial with it. Aya then started to begin to feel to have an odd feeling towards Xeo from his example of using his powers for good. It came in an emotion that Aya wanted to understand how his power could have an effect of those who were even down on their luck.

            “I don’t know about you…but, golly…no traffic what so ever! This is the way it oughta be around here!” Daniel said to everyone in his brighten up mood.

            “Daniel…” Aya said while trying to control his new found ego. Maeda and Xeo could tell that Daniel was going to set things in motion.

            “What are you people waiting for? An invitation to “Let’s get to work?” Come on, then!” Everyone nodded as Daniel starts up his car and kept saying his plan. “Alright then, we’re gonna need some bigger weapons. There is a…” Daniel said until The Jedi started to feel flushed out and woozy.

            “Xeo…is something wrong with you?” Maeda stated while Daniel and Aya looked at Xeo. He was clutching his stomach as the universal sign of hunger.

            “I know detainees can get food but I never got a meal that morning while being in the NYPD station…did you two have any food…?” Xeo said. Maeda and Daniel shook their heads as Xeo understood that there was no food left over. Aya then remembered that she too had no food yet this morning and knows she will need some in the day ahead.

            “Daniel… you look for guns for us. I’m going to help out our friend out. I had no breakfast too. Should have saved some for us.”

            “Sorry…I wasn’t thinking straight at the time while Maeda kept whining about my road rage,” Daniel said while Maeda fronded.

            “I was telling you to not kill us even if there was no one around at 5 in the morning.” Maeda yell at Daniel while Xeo tried to say his piece in this.

            “I told you…anger isn’t the way. It…it would only lead to a dark…darker…” he said while failing to get his two cents across to Daniel as his stomach began to growl. “…OOooohhh that hurts!”

            “Alright then. Maeda come with me for the guns. Gonna need someone to help me with the ammo cases.” Daniel told Maeda as he ran over to the car. They wave off to both Aya and Xeo as they sped off. He looks at Aya while trying to fend off his hunger pains for the moment.

            “Even with all my training…such simple things can’t be overcome easily,” Xeo said. He was about to stop feeling any pains in his gut as he waits for Aya to walk close to him.

            “We do need food of some sort…” Aya said while trying to look around for anything that stands out. Xeo tries to do the same, even thought he hasn’t a slight clue what a food market would look like on Earth while he can still read the English text. “Hmm…I don’t think this block has any food departments or stores. If only I could know where we are. Damn it…Daniel. Taking off so fast that I forgot to ask…him.” Her speech stopped as soon as she looked at Xeo with his eyes closed. “Xeo?” she questioned him while waiting for a response.

            “I can see the whole street in my mind…looking for a…” The Jedi said while using his powers to find out where they are and any possible leads to a food market. It didn’t take him long to find a street sign to give him a name. “W 136 Street is where we on…I can also see…some kind of place that has a fruit like icon on a glass door.” His mind comes back as he opens up his eyes. Aya then looked around again to know if the area they were in felt like W 136 Street or close to it.

            “Way out here…Daniel knows how to pick them. At least it’s far enough from where we need to go after Eve and even the police station for his own sake. Hmm…where is that place you said you saw…?”

            “Down…that way.” Xeo said while moving his head towards the direction of the food market store. “I think it might be a long ways there.” Aya look down the street and block to know if she had an idea of W 136 Street has to offer. It cored to her that there was an import market that he knew from some run-ins in the past.

            “You’re right. I know a place down there…bit of a walk,” she said while Xeo made sure that he was able to walk down the long stretch of pavement. As he started to walk in the direction he knew Aya soon walked with him at his side, putting her hands in her jacket’s front exterior pockets. “Well…if Maeda was right about you then you should have no problem of where we are going.” Xeo looked at Aya with a questionable look being expressed.

            “Huh? If he was right about…what?”

            “You being Japanese.” Aya said while trying not to lose focus on the walk to the import store for anything could be still lurking down the block of where they were heading.

            “Why would that be okay for where we are going? Plus…I’m not Japanese…” The Jedi said while Aya still found him to be odd about the question Maeda ask him before.

            “It’s an import store for food that I know. It does have some good imported oriental samples…Daniel didn’t like it but that’s because he isn’t the one to stomach that kind of food. I was hoping Maeda was right about you if you are…” Aya said while Xeo started to think about how Maeda’s prior question of Xeo’s name; however, Xeo didn’t have the look of being Japanese but with some slight characteristics. Thinking about what she said to Xeo he wonder why Aya would know a lot about the Japanese that he could be enlightened to hear.

            “Oriental food…it’s something the Japanese love to eat?” Aya nodded at Xeo’s question as he said another right after. “Does that mean…you’re Japanese, too or are do you just love their food?” Xeo said to Aya. She knew it was only a matter of time once she started asking Xeo about Daniel’s tastes in food and her own while Maeda’s questioning at the Jedi.

            “I’m only half Japanese. It’s from my mother side. I don’t have all the features of being Asian, or Japanese if you just want to call me that,” she said while trying to answer his question without going into too much detail of who she is on Earth and about the differences of ethnicity towards oriental people.

            “Than what shall I called you? I don’t think “Japanese woman” would be a correct name for me to know you by.” Xeo said as he looked at her with a feel of caring and wanting to know her name.

            “Its…Aya. Aya Brea.”

            “Aya…” Xeo said as they walked down pass the block and on to another block while continuing with his talk with Aya. “Hmm…” Aya raised a look on her face of confusion as if she said something to Xeo that he didn’t understand.

            “What?”

            “Nothing, Aya…it just sounds…well…Japanese?” Xeo said while trying to recall Maeda’s moment with Xeo and his name sounding Japanese, which it wasn’t. Aya pick up on what Xeo was saying but instead of laughing of feeling insulted she kept walking with a slight smile on her face. “So much for the small talk…”
