Chapter 1 The Assignment

The Clone War had been raging for a year and Jedi were being transported all over the galaxy. Anakin was also being transported all over. Presently he was meditating in his room in the Jedi temple on Coruscant. It was the first time he was home in about six months. He and his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, had just arrived at Coruscant after leading a clone army on Malastare. Suddenly his comm. buzzed. Anakin tried to ignore it but it was hard meditating with it buzzing. So he finally picked up. It was Mace Windu.

"Anakin we need to speak to you. Come to the council chambers immediately." After Mace had finished Anakin got up put on his cloak and headed for the council chamber.

As he entered he saw Master Mace Windu, Master Yoda, and Master Ki-Adi-Mundi sitting alone in the chamber. He stood in the middle of the room and Master Yoda was the first to speak.

"Watching you we have been," he said, "fought fiercely and led bravely, you have."

"That is why," said Mace, "the council has decided to send you to Geonosis on a very dangerous mission."

Anakin tried to hide his excitement but it seemed he had failed because he saw the expression on the masters' faces.

"Much excitement in this one, I sense. The better choice, Kit would have been, said Yoda.

"I agree," said Mace, "I knew this one was too young --

"TOO YOUNG," raged Anakin, "I came here when I was nine and you said that I was too old. So now I'm too young!"

"ANIKIN", reprimanded Obi-Wan who entered as Anakin was ranting, "Control your temper. They meant your ambition for a mission you don't even know about yet. And your excitement for a task as large and dangerous as this one. I have also been preparing for this day I have been watching other knights. Master Windu, may I suggest that Jedi Knights Nate Zabel and Daniel Wells go along as well."

"Yes, those two would make the team complete, Nate can fly well and has a great understanding of the force, and Dan is really good at taking care of electronics," said Mace.

"Agree on this, I do. Call them in," said Yoda.

Mace then picked up him comm. and called them to come to the Council Chambers.

Nate and Dan's POV

Nate and Dan had also just got back from a mission. Nate was about twenty. He was tall with a moderate build. His had brown hair and blue-green eyes. Dan was about the same age but wasn't as tall and he also had a moderate build. His hair was light brown and he had blue eyes. Nate was sitting in his bed daydreaming and Dan was sitting at a desk looking at a book. When Nate suddenly threw a pillow at Dan.

"What was that for?" asked Dan without even looking up from the book.

"Oh come on," said Nate, "you really spend to much time with your nose in books. You need to spend that time in the real world. Have some fun."

"You call hitting someone with a pillow 'fun?'" asked Dan, half looking up from his book.

"Yea, I guess." replied Nate not really knowing what to say, "Well, it's better than reading books. What are you reading anyway?"

"I am researching Republic battle strategies," said Dan.

'Oh how fun," said Nate sarcastically.

"Well, You wouldn't last a minuet out on the battlefield," snapped Dan.

The two continued arguing for about five minuets. At that time the comm. buzzed. Nate went to get it while Dan just sat there continuing to read his book.. As Nate picked it up he recognized the voice of Mace Windu.

"Come to the Council Chambers immediately," said Mace over the comm.

"Yes Master," replied Nate. "Come on Dan we need to go to the Council Chambers."

As Nate put down the comm. he picked up another pillow and hit Dan again Dan put down his book picked up the pillow and threw it back at Nate. It hit Nate square in the face. Nate got all mad at Dan but Dan just stood there with a little smile on his face. Then Nate picked up another pillow and they got into a pillow fight. After they got done with the pillow fight they put on their cloaks and went to the Council.

Normal POV

It was several minuets but the Jedi finally showed up in the Chambers.

"Very well now that everyone is here," said Mace, "we will tell you the nature of the mission. Ki-Adi continue with the briefing."

"Your mission it to go to Geonosis and destroy the droid factory." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi.

"How are we to do that?" asked Dan, "We have no clue where it is."

"On the planet there is another Jedi by the name of Stephanie Brown. She was sent there a year ago to learn about the droid factory. You are to meat up with her and then continue to the factory to destroy it." said Ki-Adi-Mundi

"Now that you have your assignment do you have any questions?' asked Obi-Wan.

The trio didn't make any reaction which gave the Masters the idea they had none.

"Good," said Mace, "you will leave tomorrow. Dismissed."
