what a find
Third Person Narrative:
"Sir, incoming meteor shower." Said a clone to the Sargent.
"Raise the shield." He replied to the clone as he did so. "You wanted excitement, Hevy." He adds turning to Hevy.
"Right. Meteor shower." Hevy mumbled sarcastically.
Outside the deck-officer looked around and saw a meteor heading right at the base. He backed up quickly but luckily it hit the ground right next to it. He walked over and his eyes widened as he saw the meteor was glowing softly. His comm suddenly came to life and the Sargent said, "CT-327, report in."
"I am here sir, everything is fine except for the meteor that landed right next to the base...it's glowing," CT-327 replied.
Within a few minutes, Fives and Echo got sent out to check it out. The Sargent and Hevy came out too just to see it. Fives and Echo climbed down to inspect it, there was no radiation from it so they could approach it without any worries. "Hey, I found out why it's glowing," Fives said matter a factly.
"Why?" Echo asks coming over to him. Fives picked up the sword that was ingrained into the metro and said, "Hey, Echo look. A sword." He swung it around a bunch.
"Fives put that down! You-" But before he could finish the sword flew out of Five's hand and there was a flash of light and there was a man standing in front of the sword. He took a step and fell over. "Okay....who was the swing that sword thinking it was a baton?!" He asks looking up towards them. Fives and Echo stumbled back quickly and the Sargent and Hevy jumped down.
"What the kriff are you!?" The Sargent said pulling out his blaster and pointed at the man who stood in front of the sword. He sighs softly and said, "My name is Caden'arak Murik or just Cade."
The Sargent kept his blaster raised. Cade sighs and said, "I am a Surajia and I am bound to this sword. The person who had held this sword and released me I now serve. My powers are at his command."
They looked at him silently and he sighs. "Ever hear of genies? I am like that except for the 3 wishes and a few other things." He explained.
"Wait. Let me get this straight, you are now at his command and you have powers to grant wishes?" The Sargent asks lowering his blaster. When he said 'at his command' he points to Fives.
"That's the simplest way to put it," Cade replied. Fives was just standing there speechless a look of panic on his face.
"That makes no sense," Fives said sounding panicked. His hands shook a little as he spoke, "You serve me? How? Why?"
"Do you want me to answer this question or do you need to vent?" He asks lifting the sword up.
"I...don't know," Fives mumbled. Cade just nods and places the sword on the ground in front of Fives. He stood back and said, "I understand that you're confused but things will end up making sense. Trust me this has happened so many times I lost count."
Fives just nodded and looked down at the sword. "What do you want him to with that?" Asks Hevy coming out of his shock.
"Either he can take it and I can change it to a more suitable weapon for this time or he can entrust it to me." He explained.
"You take it," Fives said. "I don't want anything to do with this."
"Well, that complicates things. I am bound to your service till your death." Cade said taking the sword.
"What Fives!?" Asked Fives shocked. Cade nods and that was when Fives fainted. Hevy caught him and looked at the Sargent.
"Let's just head back inside. You too," he said looking at Cade.

Cade's P.O.V
"Yes. I am immortal," I answer the clone whose name was Cutup. All the clones were asking me questions as their Sargent was waiting outside for the two officers that were going to come and check out the base.
"If I shoot you will it hurt?" asked Hevy.
"Yes, but not a lot," I replied. As I sat back in the chair I was in. The door opened up and Fives walked in.
"Fives? Feeling better?" Asks Echo. Fives nod and looked at me. He then went to sit down at his station.
"Cade. Was it?" He asks me. I just nod and he then asks, "Okay. I am starting to understand what you are saying but...what exactly can you do?"
"Pretty much anything you ask but note the bigger the request the bigger the price can be. I can do a lot but there are prices and consequences to be paid." I replied.
"What do you mean?" Fives asks.
"Okay. Look it at like this, someone dies. You ask me to bring them back. I bring them back but someone else must die for me to do this." I said.
"You can bring people back from the dead?" Asks Echo in shock.
"Yes. I'd prefer not to though, it's complicating and very draining. Also, a lot could go wrong if I don't get it right." I replied. They just nod. They keep asking me questions and I answer as best I can. It seemed Fives was coming more comfortable with the idea of me having to serve him. I ask a few questions trying to get an idea of how this world is. They explain about the war, the republic, the separatist, and then the Jedi. Jedi? Probably different from the time I knew that term. Probably very different. I thought to myself.
When the door opened I look over at it and the Sargent and the two officers walk in. I stood up and watched them. "So you're Cade?" Asks the one who wore the yellow on his armor.
"I am," I replied my voice calm.
"The Jedi Council and the Senet want's to talk to you," He said. I shook my head, some things with people never change.
"Very well, but it'll be a better idea if I can call them and not get sent to the planet they were on," I said.
"and why's that?" Asks the one who had blue on his armor. I let a small breath out and began to explain that I couldn't leave the same planet that fives was on. That my body wouldn't move at all even if I was on a ship. It was who the deal of serving worked. I stay nearby the one who freed me from the object I was sealed too and I grant what he asks. After I finished explaining this they all looked at me weirdly.
"And none of you believe me," I said.
"It seems farfetched." Said the Sargent.
"Can I prove this to them?" I ask Fives. He just gave me a blank look to which I replied, "I need your permission before I can use different powers I have."
He just nodded and I turn to them and I hold out my hand. A steady flamed appeared in it and stayed there. As I moved my fingers the flamed moved with it. Everyone watched wide-eyed. I close my hand and the flame vanished. "Believe me now?" I ask.
The others in the room nod a little. Echo was the most shocked I think, he just stood there with his jaw hanging open.
"Rex. Why don't you contact the ship and...." The first officer began but was at a loss for words of what to add.
"I can come and explain myself," I said.
"That'll work," Said the clone named Rex. I followed Rex out of the room leaving the sword with Fives. As I followed him I was thinking of what I could say that will get them to be okay with what was going on. With the Jedi it might be a bit easier and with the Sentent...that'll be another thing in itself. One part at a time, I tell myself. As I got led up the ramp of the ship. I watched Rex place the call to the ship.
I watched him began to explain a little of what happened to a man who I could tell was a Jedi but very different from the Jedi I used to know.
"Let me speak to him," The Jedi said and I stepped into view.
"I am Cade, what can I do for you?" I ask.
