Saga Repost: Another Day (Jedi Purge Fic) Posted 1/13/03

This is a song fic that just wanted to be written. I'm not sure if it makes much sense, we'll have to see.

It's written to Die Another Day by Madonna (from 007 Die Another Day)

Enjoy

The light shining through the hole at the top of the roof glares down at me. It calls to me, but it knows I cannot go to it. It knows I cannot move from my barren hiding spot. The dust from the floor of my hiding spot flows through the air and glows as it passes in front of the calling light. I sigh and glance around my cage. There is food and water, but little else. There is little hope the food and water will last as long as I will have to stay here. Tears come to my eyes. If only it hadn?t happened. If only he hadn?t turned on all of us. But he has, and I don?t know if I can survive alone much longer.

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no
I'm gonna kiss some part of
I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now

I know little of what occurred. I was just your average Jedi Padawan, nothing special. All of us were just normal beings. I?ve heard stories about how it happened, how Vader turned. I don?t know if I believe any of them. Some blame his master, I know I don?t, and others blame his wife. None dare to blame Palpatine. I know we should. I know he?s the reason, but we can barely blame anyone now. Not with our entire population spread across light-years, not when we?re being hunted. I know they are coming for us, all of us. Even me.

I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day

I stopped caring about the stories long ago, I suppose. Who really cares why he turned? What really matters is that we?re all going to die. That just the thing, though, I don?t want to die. They say a Jedi shall have no fear. But I?m afraid to die. There?s nothing else I?m scared of, no even being alone in this barren prison. They?ll come for me and I will resist. I will stand up for the Jedi Order. I will show them what a Jedi is. I will die for my people, I know I will, but I don?t want to. I know I should be brave, but how can I be? The entire galaxy has fallen and the ruble is just waiting to sweep me away. I?m of no importance to the Empire. They?ll wait and come for me when they find me.

I guess I'll die another day
[Another day]
I guess I'll die another day
[Another day]
I guess I'll die another day
[Another day]
I guess I'll die another day

I used to know him, you know. We had classes at the Temple together. I never thought he was dangerous. I never imagined it would come to this. I never imagined I would be sitting in a warehouse on Naboo. That?s where I am, though. I didn?t want to come here, but Master Yoda told me if I were to survive the Jedi Purge, I must leave the Temple. I could not disobey Master Yoda, so here I am. Naboo is a lovely planet. Isn?t it ironic that I can?t enjoy it? Isn?t it ironic that his wife is from here? She is. I suppose she?s even more scared than I am. He?ll be coming for her long before he ever realizes I exist. There?s nothing I can do to help her. I?m a Jedi, I should be able to help, but now I would do nothing more than hurt her. I will never understand how it came to this.

Vader and his emperor, they stop at nothing. They crush worlds with a single flick of the wrist or a single glance. They will not crush me with a single glance. I know it?s foolish to think so, but I can?t let my confidence fail now. I must support the Jedi no matter how afraid I may be. I must find a way to stop this madness before it progresses beyond control. I know I may be the only hope. I also know there must be others. There must be others like me out there in the galaxy. There must be a way the Jedi will survive. I know we must sacrifice everything for the galaxy, but that is a risk we must be willing to take. We must be willing to stand against evil and if only one good soul remains, we will have done our task.

I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now

I said before that I knew him. I also knew his master. H

 

Upness!
