AN: This is my first time writing a fanfiction so enjoy. Any helpful reviews/comments will be appreciated. First and foremost I don't own any of the characters that appear in Star Wars The Clone Wars except for the one's I created (Which I'm pretty sure you can find out which those are). Like I said before enjoy.

The Gladiator King

Chapter 1

Revival

The brothers were running along a long dark corridor, even though they could not see they knew something was chasing them. "Our mission was just recon, how did they find us?" thought one of the brothers. They had no idea for how long they had been running, but fighting was not an option, their enemy was immortal. For what seemed like forever the brothers finally saw light and started to run faster towards it. When they made it out, they saw a long bridge headed towards the Coliseum. "Do we fight?" asked one brother. "You know we can't" said the other. "You keep going, I'll hold him off." said one brother. "No, I'm not leaving you here!" argued the other. "Not an option, you have to report what we have found out to the council. They need to know whats going on here." replied the other brother. "Fine just get back to me, got that." said the other. The brother started to run towards the other hallway, with tears in his eyes he says his final words to his brother, while approaching the exit of that hallway "I'll always remember you, Dakon!"

"Dakon's sacrifice will no be in vain, he will be remembered as a hero for the Republic. But no one will feel more pain than his brother. May the Force guide him." said Jedi Master Mace Windu. Kidd had never met the brothers but he could feel the pain the brother must be feeling. He wanted to comfort the brother, facing the reality that someone close to you died was never a good thing, but he could never build up the courage to do so. The bother walked towards his quarters with everyone he passed saying the same thing: "Sorry for you loss." But his sadness still lingered, he had lost Dakon what was his purpose in life he had lost his little brother. He had sworn to protect him but he failed. The brother could still hear his brothers final words right before he died: "I will have died happy and for my comrades." The brother was happy but sadness still took over. He would cry in his room so nobody could see him, a Jedi was not supposed to show emotion, but he couldn't help it. When suddenly he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and found Kidd, the Jedi who is known for his risky tactics. "Hello, sorry to barge in like this, but wanted to see how you were doing?" he told him. "If what your going to say is 'Sorry for your loss' you can just get lost!" the brother yelled. "You have quite the temper there." Kidd replied with a laugh. The brother didn't understand what he was doing here or why he even bothered to talk to him. "Don't get me wrong I do feel sorry for you, buts that's not why I'm here." Kidd said with a serious face this time. "What is it then?" asked the brother. "I want a first hand story of what happened on Xrander." said Kidd. "I already handed in the intel what more could you want!" the brother was now angry, his brother died to get the intel here. Now he was being told to relive it. "I know it will be hard but intel isn't enough I need first hand accounts to be certain on what we're up against." said Kidd calmly. The brother calmed down and decided to tell him what they had done on Xrander. The brother couldn't get to say say what happened to his brother. Kidd understood the situation and backed off. "Thats good enough thank you, I'll avenge your brother I'll promise that." said Kidd. As he stood up to leave the brother told him one last piece of information: "He's immortal." To which Kidd replied: "I've killed immortals before." The brother stared at Kidd, wondering what would have happened if he was there instead of his little brother.

Kidd walked towards the hanger, where he met up with his friends, Troy and Ramnes. "Hey, heard what happened, I feel sorry for the guy." said Ramnes. Troy and Ramnes were two people Kidd had met while he was brainwashed for a time. They were good kids and knew how to stay alive. But Kidd had always found something ominous about Troy he was always cold, but not with Ramnes he would feel different around her. "Yeah talked with the guy he's very emotional, but he means well." said Kidd. "So you got a mission now, take down that guy." said Troy. "I hope so, but the council probably won't allow it." replied Kidd. "Since when do you follow orders?" said a voice behind Kidd. It was Ashoka, Kidd's best friend. "Well I'm still supposed to be recovering after being impaled, but my plan was to send a small recon team and hide in plain sight." said Kidd. "Did you even read the intel Dakon's brother gave us?" asked Ashoka. "I did, but intel isn't always the best way to learn about the enemy." said Kidd. Troy and Ramnes both knew not to get involved in conversation like these. "Also did you even read Xrander's files, the planet is neutral you can't just barge in guns blazing." said Ashoka "Look it's just a recon mission, no killing unless necessary." replied Kidd. "You're not going to go, thats an order!" yelled another voice. It was Anakin Skywalker, another friend of Kidd's. "First off it's too dangerous, and second one wrong move and you ignite a war." said Anakin. "I know that, you don't have to keep repeating it!" said Kidd about to loose his temper. "Even if they did authorize this plan of yours, who would you take?" asked Anakin. It was a good question, he already had a good idea on who to take but he knew the council would not approve of his choices. "I would take some of my squadron members, Troy, Ashoka, and the brother that survived." he finished, Troy looked up in surprise once he heard his name. "Those choices are good, but why the hell would you take the brother! He just got back and he lost his younger brother there! Not only is that just plain rude, it's very immoral even for you!" yelled Anakin. Kidd understood why he should not take the brother, but he needed someone who knew the place to be able to maneuver around. "I'll go ask him and see if he would join me." replied Kidd. With that he stormed out of the hanger towards the brothers quarters. " Whats wrong with him?" asked Ramnes.

Kidd arrived at the brothers room, the moment he was about to knock on the door he hesitated. "Should I really be doing this, maybe Anakin is right about this, maybe I was wrong." thought Kidd. At the exact moment he turned to leave, the door opened and the brother stepped out. "Yes, I will go with you. I need to avenge my brother." the brother said. Kidd was both dumbfounded and happy. "Right then lets get to it, meet me at the hanger in two hours." Kidd replied. Kidd walked to the war room to grab as much intel as he could on Xrander, he needed all of it in order to do this mission. He entered and sat on the console to download as much as he could. Once he got all the intel, he went towards the hanger to meet his team.

"Are you sure this is the best course of action sire?" asked a voice. "Indeed it is, you know as well as I do that in order to stay immortal I need a fresh body to insert my consciousness and keep living." said another voice. "But this may lead to an invasion of the Republic." said the first voice. "That will not be a concern once I have a new body, and the body of a Jedi no less. But first he needs to be revived. And I want him trained once he is revived." said the second voice. "It will be done sire." replied the first voice. "Finally the end of this silly war between the Separatists and Republic will come to an end and I will rule the galaxy!" said the second voice triumphantly.

AN: This is the first chapter complete. I know there are few hole in the plot that I'll explain later such as looks, but the basics are still there. Stay tuned for the next part.
