Star Wars: Secrets Within - Episode I
Secrets Within: Episode I – The Cantina
The cantina stank of dust and despair, quiet and empty. The characters wake up in a daze, confused state of mind as to where they are and about themselves. They look at one another, they don't know each other, yet they are all here together in this cantina. None of them remembered who they were, except for their names, or why they had been drawn to this desolate place. Strangers in their own skin.
 |
| Xod-Ee-Lek: a Chiss, Grey Jedi. A master strategist and relentless determination to achieve his goals. |
 |
| Dasu Mwindaji: a Zabrak Jedi. A man of his word, nothing will stand in his way. |
 |
| Travern Morrow: a Human Jedi. A craftsman and noble human who stands with the light. |
 |
| D-Rek-7: a Robotic Human Jedi. Technology expert and one with the force. |
 |
| Savage Opress: A Duros Bounty Hunter, his calling is in the highest bidder |
As they finish introducing themselves, they hear heavy footsteps coming to the front door. They all quickly take their positions across the cantina.
Five Battle Scarred Dark Troopers Walk in... They each scan the cantina, looking for something. One of the Characters Travern Morrow decides now is the time to take action and fires at one of the dark troopers instantly blasting one down to the ground.
However, the death troopers all then start rapid firing across the cantina in this crossfire fight.
Blaster fires split the quiet. Chaos erupts.
Travern Morrow darted into the alleys, slipping away but leaving behind a strange device that pulsed faintly.
Xod-Ee-Lek vanished into the shadows, sacrificing one of his own confidants to the droids’ grip.
Savage Opress was overwhelmed, bound and dragged toward a waiting starship.
D-Rek 7 and Dasu Mwindaji scattered into the ruins, evading capture by mere inches.
When the dust settled, the remaining four characters count 4 dark troopers down, 1 to go. They then all decide to go after and rescue their remaining team member Savage Opress.
They infiltrated the Starship, as they enter they see the Dark trooper dragging Savage behind him, it then opens this large water tight door by turning the wheel 2 times to the left...3 times to the right... 2 times to the left...and pushing it in. The door makes a thud sound then air escapes as the door opens slowly as the Dark Trooper picks up Savage Opress over its shoulders and enters as the door closes behind them.
Xod-Ee-Lek remembered the precise combination to open this door. As he was about to go to it, they were all surprised to meet a stranger coming up from behind them. A mysterious bounty hunter—called Shing-Guy-Jon.
Shing-Guy-Jon
They all ask him questions as to who he is? and what is he doing here? Only to hear replies so shady, none of them trust him. The only thing he says is "I am in search of something of great value to my employer". As they all try to get more information out of him Xod-Ee-Lek takes it upon himself to open the door.
The rest of the team all gather together to go inside. They see a large statue in the middle of this chamber. They also see many empty metal bared cells all across this circular chamber. They find Savage locked in one of these metal bar cells. They need a key to open it. As they look around they see the Dark Trooper standing by a large tube. As they get closer they notice that it's an android and the tube is connected to it, it seems to be charging in sleep mode. They find a key card in its hand. As Xod approaches it to grab it, the Dark Trooper turns on with its dark red eyes and quickly punches Xod straight in the chest making him fly across the chamber.
Travern Morrow quickly shoots his blaster to it hitting its arm. It fires right back hitting him in the leg. D-Rek-7 jumps towards it and slices one of its mechanical arms off, but with the other arm it his D-Rek back making him hit the wall and pass out.
Dasu Mwindaji uses his lightsaber and throws it towards the Dark Trooper, it dodges it and shoots right back, Dasu dodges the blaster but right behind him is Shing-Guy-Jon and he gets hit right in the head and it knocked out. Dasu then run towards it and is able to slice the Dark Trooper in half, ultimately decommissioning it indefinitely.
Suffering burns, bruises, and blood. They prevailed against this foe. Xod checks up on Shing-Guy-Jon, he is down and not waking up. As he checks for his weapons he feels a crumpled piece of paper, as he opens it, it's a note that reads, "Don’t fail me this time".
Dasu Mwindaji grabs the key card and opens up the cell to free Savage Opress. As he comes out, the main water tight door opens. Blaster fires ring everywhere, a battalion of Battle Scarred Storm Troopers shoot everywhere, the characters shoot back and reflect back with their sabers. However Xod was closest to the doors and his Saber was taken from him from another force user, he is tranquilized and captured.

| Darth Velarous |
Darth Velarous a Dark Sith Scientist known to be involved with the Intergalactic Proctor Division, enters the chamber, his presence suffocating. He seized Xod-Ee-Lek in his grip. The others only had enough time to escape beneath the middle statue in the chamber. From the shadows of Mos Eisley, they fled in a stolen vessel, watching helplessly from the sky as Xod vanished into the Sith Lord’s grasp.
In space, Shing-Guy-Jon was revived. Feeling shaky, he somehow survived the lethal shot to the head. As they all discussed on their next step, they decided to go back for their team member Xod for they all felt that in order to solve the mystery as to why they were all in that Cantina, they needed everyone involved. However Savage Opress was not happy about this, as he felt the urge to get away from them all and go on his own. As they returned to Mos Eisley Savage Opress stayed in the ship and said his goodbyes to the others and essentially dropped them off and left.
The others returned for Xod, looking for him.
Returning to Xod-Ee-Lek he is strapped in a chair inside a dark room. All around him are green bacta tanks and shadowy beings inside them with a tube for what he believed was for breathing. Then a voice entered the room. "You've done well Xod. You've located Shing-Guy-Jon, and the others as well. Bring them all to me and I will reward you for this deed. My apprentice."
Xod is then let go and walks down a long corridor. All around him are other experiments of Darth Velarous the Sith Scientist who is obsessed with Ancient Sith Technology. Xod is his apprentice, but something more stirs within his mind.
He then commissions a few storm troopers to grab him and pretend that he is being captured. He goes outside and is met with the other Characters.
Dasu Mwindaji uses the force to create a force illusion that allows the Storm Troopers to see only what he wants them to see. The Storm trooper commander gives the order "Blast them!" As the blasters ring out, the rest of the team go right past the storm troopers, from their point of view they're just shooting at rocks.
They grab Xod-Ee-Lek and move all down the alleyways of Mos Eisley as they make it to a Hangar where an old dusty worn out Millennium Falcon sits, a true relic of war. D-Rek-7 successfully opens the door and they all make it inside. Travern Morrow sees the starship coming back, the same one that Savage Opress took. He tells the others he will bring him to the Falcon.
As he runs through the streets, he notices storm troopers walking about and entering a mountain off to the distance. He then meets up with Savage Opress as soon as he lands. Savage looks at Travern with delight and conflict at the same time. Travern tells him to come with him to be with the others to come up with a plan on what to do next. Savage agrees and goes with him.
They make it back to the Millennium Falcon where they all are discussing on how to remember why they were all at the Cantina. As they were discussing and making plans on what to do, Savage Opress smirked, his palm wrapped tight around the hidden Kyber crystal emanating in his pocket.
