The Force Reborn
Chapter 1:
Life Changes Everyone
I do not own Star Wars just my original characters.
(Horrun Kal before the Clone Wars)
It was a hot day on Horrun Kal and very hostile, Master Mace Windu who was born on said planet into the Ghosh Windu Clan was holding a small child. The child was brown skin, thick black hair, and silver eyes. The boy had a strong connection to the Force in fact even stronger then Mace and his clan brother Kar Vastor it was astonishing at the potential the young man had and that was why Mace was back home. He had come to take the boy to the temple to be trained in the ways of the Jedi per the request of the clan chieftain. Seeing that it would be a tragedy to let the boy die off with the rest of his failing clan and on top of that waste his potential he took the boy with him. Mace looking at the chief he said.
"I Will take him to be trained in the ways of the Jedi he seems to have great potential and like me will keep Ghosh Windu connected to the force. I bid you all fair well and wish for your lives to take a turn for the better. May the Force be with you." He said bowing in respect and leaving the chief never spoke he just smiled in content knowing that he may have at least preserved his clan.
Mace on the other hand went through a more proper evaluation of the young no named child. He started with that in fact and named the child Wolf Windu, he then checked his Midi-Chlorian count and what he saw amazed him, and it was over 22,000. That was stronger than Master Yoda and himself, and then Mace felt something else in the boy something familiar and then he realized the boy was just like him parents killed and almost nowhere go, and that was when Mace realized he had to teach him personally. So seeing his duty of securing the boy was finished he departed from his home planet with a purpose.
(8 Years later Jedi Temple on Coruscant)
It had been 8 years since Young Ty had been taken from Horrun Kal and he was sensational. He was now 10 years old very strong and learned at an unusual level, he was also very gifted in training both physically and in the use of the Force. He was also very kind to others and had great Charisma and made friends with many. He was friends with several his own age and some above, his best friend however was Anakin Skywalker who arrived about two years prior and was 12 years old. Anakin was called the Chosen One due to the circumstances of birth and like Ty his massive Midi-Chlorian count both being about even. It was Ty who met Anakin first in the Temple and even shared his knowledge of temple life with him. Now Ty and Anakin were very much alike in the form of training, technology, and love of adventure something both boys being reprimanded several times for their disobeying curfew and opting for battling with their hand crafted droids. As for appearances Ty was tall for his age and also very muscular as well. He looked like Mace in some ways but was considered better looking, his hair was cut like a soldiers and he had the padawan braid. As for clothing he wore a Black version of Maces Outfit and added white and black gloves. Anakin was like Ty in that he was tall for his age but differed in that he was lean built and as for his hair it was cut with only a braid remaining to show he was a padawan. Anakin was considered Handsome like Ty and was also very gifted in the force and a quick study. He learned what took most younglings and padawan 4 to 5 years to learn in only two. And his physical prowess was on par with Ty. As for both padawan's lightsaber training they were considered prodigies by the likes of Cin Drallig, Mace Windu, Master Yoda, and Plo Koon. They like all learners learned Form 1 and Form 2. After that they began to practice the more complexed forms of lightsaber combat. And since both were apprenticed to great Masters being Ty with Mace and Anakin with Obi-Wan Kenobi it was only natural they would be great. And that was where the two differed in style Ty opted for and double bladed lightsaber and began studying Forms 3, 5, and 7, to go along with his quick mastery of the first two forms. Although him learning Form 7 came with a lot of proving to his master as he had several reasons why he should not and, almost would not teach him. As for Anakin he opted for Forms 1, 2, 3, and, 5. He was more partial to 3 and 5 as one provided defense and the other offense and defense. Both were accomplished in hand to hand combat being taught personally by Kit Fisto and Mace Windu with Ty being the better of the two. As for their skills in using the force they were incredible for their age showing more promise than Yoda if they continued to work hard and maintain focus. And that is now where we find ourselves with Ty and Anakin sitting with their respective masters, Master Yoda, Kit Fisto, and Plo Koon. Mace was discussing something with the masters while the padawan's were talking about sparring later Ty spoke saying
"So Anakin how about me and you go train and spar with Master Drallig, he said we could come by today. And I really want to finish mastering the first two forms they are really good for making an opponent think were average and then BAM! Advanced combat we could have many victories that way."
"I agree but Master Obi-Wan wants me to work on meditation so I guess I can't make it. You know I am not like you, you know able to cut that high energy switch on and off. But I will learn, have you seen Veld lately he was with Master Ry-Gaul on some training mission to Ziost I was wondering when they would return."
"I am not sure but I heard it was going okay. How is that project going with Olin is he still by the book on everything?"
"He is still being stubborn, I mean the attack pattern we are using is failing 5 out of ten times we use it in the simulation. And he follows orders even when they are bad. Man I wish you were my partner in this how is it going for you and Nhadar."
"Great actually we have won 9 out of ten battle scenarios and his sense of strategy is better than my own." Ty finished still feeling a bit sorry for Anakin since Anakin and Ferus disliked each other so much it bordered on hatred. Ty then looked over at the masters and decided to speak to Kit Fisto who was one of Ty's older friends and mentors in the way of Martial Arts, as he approached the group he bowed which got their attention. Seeing him Mace asked
"What can we do for you my Padawan I sense you have a question or more like a favor to ask one of us?" He said not surprising Ty at all at how is teacher read him like a book. He then spoke to Master Fisto saying
"Master Fisto I was wondering since I have been training with you in the past I was trying to find a style of martial arts that fit my skill set and as I was researching I found 3 that stuck out to me the first are Tera Kasi, the second Echani, and the last K'thri. I was wondering could you assist me in finding some teachers or Holocrons of Jedi who used the styles." He said hopefully. Kit smiled since he with some help from Plo Koon could help him. He then said
"Yes I can help you with at least two of those three. And I can see why you would choose those three. Echani fits your love of physical expression and love pushing your limits. Tera Kasi shows your love of refinement and being one with yourself and honing the body to its highest potential same as Echani. And as for K'thri it is ancient and vastly different than Echani in which you choose speed and fluidity, something I think you realized was a good compliment to the other two. Now as for teachers I have an uncle who owes me a favor and he is the leader of a religious sect that practices Tera Kasi called Salai Kasi. As for Echani I know of some Holocrons that have full instructions though I will have to be present at all times to make sure the Holocrons will be under significant protection. And as for K'thri we have a few practitioners of the ancient form of combat. One being Master Jo Fan, he is the foremost practitioner and master here in the temple and lucky for you he is looking for an apprentice. And since you are the only one to express interest and have a back ground in martial arts I will put your name forth personally." He said shocking Ty then Mace spoke up saying
"And then there is the portions of your lightsaber training, you and young Anakin have made great strides in Form 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. And you my padawan have shown great promise in Form 7. Now we need to progress you both to higher levels of training, as for your use of the force Master Yoda and Master Tholme will be teaching you two privately. Which brings us to why we are doing this, normally we do not give padawan's training in this manner due to it looking like favoritism, but you two are special cases both of you have the most potential of any Jedi seen in the last 2,000 years and have to be taught properly and what we have planned for you two will push you to your limits and will put you in contact with the dark side on many occasions and trust me I know, for I went through similar training. And the key of all of this is to master yourself and your emotions; this will be the determining factor of your lives as men and Jedi. Now please follow us."
With that Ty and Anakin followed the masters to an elevator; after everyone entered they went to level 0 of the temple. Upon arrival they could feel the force pulling at them almost physically and it unnerved them both to no end. Mace and Obi-Wan exited first followed by Plo Koon, Kit, and Yoda who opted to ride on Plo Koon's shoulder. And then boys walked into the dark room which almost immediately lit up revealing a training room probably as large as the entire foundation of the temple and it was vast and held everything from modern to ancient weapons, to what looked to be endless walls of archives. Then it donned on Anakin to ask a question
"Master's what outside of training will we be doing down here?"
"You will be living here and when not training you will be studying. You will be allowed to take missions which test your recently learned skills and if you progress properly you will be allowed to socialize on occasion. And as for how long you will be doing this to put it simply years." Answered Plo Koon who knew all about this type of training for advanced Padawan's and how dangerous it was. It would either make or break a gifted Jedi Knight hopeful mostly it being the latter.
Seeing no way to reply the two Padawan's composed themselves and proceeded to feel out the situation. After a while of silence the two young Jedi hopefuls opened their eyes with a renewed since of purpose looking at their teachers they both said
"Were Ready!" and so it began.
(7 years later)
It had been seven long and hard years for Ty Windu and the chosen one Anakin Skywalker. The two had been through hell and had not fully seen daylight except for the Battle of Geonosis, they were called to help rescue Senator Amidala, Ferus Olin, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The latter being captured by Count Dooku and the former being captured by Jango Fett as a result of trying to rescue Obi-Wan. For you see Anakin was released from the care of Obi-Wan in favor of him learning from a more experienced Master one Tera Inube an aged Cosian Jedi Master who was known for his patience and wisdom something that Anakin needed in abundance. As for the two they had changed drastically before them chosen as the final two of the two hundred and twelve Jedi sent to Geonosis. As far as appearance went they were very different Ty stood at an imposing 6 foot 5 and 235 pounds, he was built for speed, power, and agility. He looked different than Mace now baring a resemblance to his now known grandfather the Chief of the now all but extinct Ghosh Windu Clan and wore his hair in the style of a Mohawk. He was happy to hear and it was still comfortable to know that Kar Vastor was still holding out with his remaining forces. As for clothing apparel Ty took to wearing a suit of armor given to him by an old Mandalorian warrior known only as War. It was silver on the cloth and blue on the Mandalorian armor plates with black stripes on the shoulders and on the outer legs. He was armored down to his very boots and around his waist was a utility belt holding a DC-15 heavy pistol, 2 vibro blades, and his lightsabers. It had retractable blades on the wrist which he augmented after the battle of Geonosis to cut through droids. He even had a helmet which he emblazoned with the symbol of the Jedi on it and attached a rebreather to it and range finder. The chest plate also had the symbol of the Jedi and on the back of it the Ghosh Windu symbol which was of an ancient and unknown creature resembling the mythical Dragons. As for his training it was like the masters of the order expected to be successful. Ty was a master in all forms of his chosen martial arts and very successful in lightsaber combat. He decided after mastering Mace's Form 7 that he would augment the style by employing the same lightsaber design as described by Obi-Wan that Darth Maul used, his second lightsaber choice was almost exactly like Mace's only it had a longer hilt and was a bit heavier but as a gift from Mace to him for completing his training was made of electrum. The crystals that chose him were very rare one was White which was placed inside the Dual Bladed lightsaber, the second was actually like his teacher though a darker purple and was of coursed placed in the electrum covered lightsaber. His abilities with the force were impeccable as well with him rivaling some masters in Telekinesis, force speed, force strength, and force repulse. His other skills in the force also were in force lightning and repulse.
Anakin was also extremely successful and remarkably accepting of Tera Inube and his teachings. He was now at 6 foot 3 inches and weighed in at 195 pounds. His hair was now neck length and he resembled his mother, his clothing consisted of a black version of the standard Jedi Knights uniform with added armor he designed for close and medium range fighting and he wore the symbol of the Jedi Guardians on sash on his left side which consisted of the Jedi symbol with a lightsaber positioned across the middle. He was a master in lightsaber combat and mastered like his best friend Ty most of his chosen lightsaber styles and all of the two martial arts he chose which were K'thri and Tera Kasi. His lightsaber was strikingly similar to Qui-Gon Jinn only that it was bit bulkier and had a blue blade. He was in the terms of Master Yoda and Ki-Adi Mundi, a force of nature in his use of the force. In fact only Ty and Master Yoda could really measure up with Yoda as of right now still being the strongest of the three. His skills were similar to Ty and except he mastered force healing and mind control something Tera Inube and Yoda made sure he knew. Ty could do the mind control as well but was just not as good as Anakin. As for their relationship with other members of the order it was somewhat shaky but still quite a few being friends. For Ty it was Ayla Secura, Tru Veld, Rohm Kota who was many years his senior, Quinlan Vos, and of course his masters. For Anakin it was Adi Gallia, Shaak Ti, Kento Marek, and Nhadar Vebb. Together they were all mutual friends just they were closer with Ty and Anakin at different levels. Ty and Anakin met some prior and during the training and garnered respect from all of them even being considered two of the strongest members of the group even though they were still padawan's. Which brings us to where we are now, sitting in the council chamber in front of the Jedi High Council. Standing together silent side by side were the still considered Padawan's Ty Windu and Anakin Skywalker, if they were promoted today they would be the last of their friends to be given the honor of Knighthood. Looking at them piercingly were Master Mace Windu and Master Yoda who like Mace wore an unreadable expression, the other members of the council such Mundi, Fisto, and Tiin all looked deep in thought of what should happen. After another 5 minutes Yoda spoke
"Impressive you have been not only in battle and training but also in emotional control. Shown skill, leadership, and balance you have all traits a Jedi must possess. Also have you shown great discipline and restraint in facing the dark side, many failures there would have been if any normal person would have taken the form of training you did. And as such we the council are promoting you both to Knighthood and Generals of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic." Master Yoda finished standing along with Mace igniting their lightsabers and Knighting them formally. Then when that was completed Mace spoke in his usual serious tone
"We are proud to call you Knights of the Republic and honored to have had a part in your journey. I as well as the others will discuss your assignments, but know that the journey has truly begun and you are like every other Jedi representing a prestigious group. I sense a great future for you both and also great peril, but remember trust in the Force and it will guide you. Now this meeting is concluded." Hearing this everyone stood and proceeded to leave all except Mace and Yoda. Upon entering the elevator the two let out a loud breath they did not realize they had been holding. It was even for Jedi as skilled as them a nerve racking time when it came to promotions. The two had completed fewer missions with their teachers but they were also extremely difficult and they also had quite a few more traditional Jedi set against them being given the training and none more so the Ferus Olin who during their training was promoted and even been favored by the Chancellor as a personal friend and confidant. His skills were impeccable and very polished. His teacher Siri Tachi was also set against the two saying they were being favorited by the council due to their Midi-Chlorian counts being so high, and there was master Pong Krell who saw the two as threat to the order and finally there was master Depa Bilaba who for some reason did not like Ty learning to master Form 7. And as luck would have it the two did meet Ferus Olin and within a second of seeing them he started off as he usually did saying
"Well if it is not our two favorite prodigies, and what do we have here newly promoted and braids freshly cut. Congrats you are now and after so long a member of the Jedi Knights." He said his voice laced with sarcasm and arrogance. Anakin spoke surprisingly calm and said in response
"You know Ferus sarcasm really does not suit you, in truth it makes you look inferior and somewhat stupid. I pity you and wish you the best of luck. Ty lets go and find the others I believe I sense them up ahead." And with that reply Ferus looked shocked and very embarrassed since after that he realized Master Plo Koon and Mundi and heard everything and both were disappointed in Ferus for his attitude towards his comrades.
(With Ty and Anakin)
After making their way a little further into the temple they decided to get some food at Dexter Jettsters restaurant. Upon preparing to leave they were stopped by a beep on Ty's commlink, wondering who it could be he answered it and to his surprise it was Ayla Secura. Now Ayla was probably his best and closest female friend, and if they were not bound by the code would definitely be a couple. And for Ty it was very difficult to manage his actual love for her, but he was a man of his word and focused on the now full blown war that needed to be fought. Anakin was also in the same position with another Jedi one Luminara Unduli now she was a Master and very bound by the code but she for some reason could not put her feelings aside for Anakin. But back to Ayla and her call Ty spoke asking
"Hello Ayla how can I help you, I sense you have heard the news?"
"Yes I did and congratulations to you both, I am calling to ask if you and Anakin would like to come with the crew to have a meal and celebrate we may not get another chance for a long while." She said sounding very serious at the last sentence.
"Sure, that was what Anakin and I had plan to do, you calling was perfect timing." He said genuinely glad his friends were so thoughtful. Then Anakin asked
"Who will be there Ayla?"
"Master Kota, Ti, Kento, Tru Veld and his former master Ry-Gaul, Quinlan Vos, and Nhadar Vebb. We will see you at the Blue Moons Lounge on upper Coruscant be there in 30 minutes." And with that she cut the link. As for Anakin and Ty they smiled and were off to meet their friends.
(30 Minutes later Blue Moons Lounge)
It was a nice day for the newly promoted Knights and they were kicking back with some of their best friends and as equals no less. Looking at everyone sitting and talking it was hard to believe this peace would not last. Sitting in front of Ty was Ry-Gaul a very imposing man that was only a hair shorter then Ty he was a great master who said few words and when he did speak everyone listened. Then there was Kento Marek who was Knight who was the polar opposite of Ry-Gaul, he was like Ty and Anakin in that he loved adventure and had penchant for being reckless, he wore the standard tan and brown Jedi Knight tunic. He was average height and considered handsome by many civilian women. Next was Nhadar Vebb who was a Mon Cala and he was a very gifted Knight being promoted a year prior, he was Kit Fisto's apprentice before that, and like his teacher very gifted with a lightsaber and a sound strategist even being trained in battle meditation. The group talked amongst themselves with Ty speaking with Veld about his plan for a new lightsaber combat form. After another 10 minutes Ty stopped talking to Veld and began talking to Vos asking him
"Master Vos do you think that Dooku is truly the master of this war or is it something more sinister then we think it is?"
"I believe it is. Since when has Dooku even as power hungry as he is ever wanted this much destruction, and why would he attack the Jedi at all he was one of us and he used to be admired by many. I just don't understand why this has happened at all, I know it was a lot of tension but I felt we could have made this war disappear through diplomacy. And furthermore I think Palpatine was too anxious to pass the bill through for the clone army as a full scale military asset any one with good sense would know that by doing that it showed a full source of provocation." Vos finished then master Ry-Gaul spoke saying
"I agree with Vos something is going on and it is shrouded in the Dark Side. I think we should really keep an eye on the Chancellor and the senate as well. Who knows what could happen with the senate now that the war is on, we must appeal to them to increase security, and I believe we should supplement it with clones, Jedi, and the senate guard. In fact I believe Even Piell should lead it his expertise and his tough attitude would make him perfect for the job." Ry-Gaul finished
"Yes I agree with that as well master it I will let Master Yoda know myself since I have to see him tomorrow morning. Can you help me with the proposal tonight Master Ry-Gaul and I would like Nhadar Vebb to assist me if you would help me I would appreciate it." He asked Nhadar he replied quickly and said
"Absolutely I will begin upon reaching the temple we can meet in the temple in the library. I will ask master Fisto to reserve a space for us."
"Great Nhadar I am glad to hear it. I will meet you once I have everything I need."
"Good now with business concluded lets have some fun. Now who is up for Bantha steaks and Hot wings?" asked Ty with a smile so pretty it made Ayla look away with a blush. After another couple of hours everyone ate and laughed and talked about old times and the present and then they left. Anakin and Ty decided to go and meet some of their more unsavory friends in the black market of Coruscant. Now don't worry they were not criminals by any means but they understood the value of keeping contacts in the underworld. Even Jabba the Hutt made it his business to get information from the man that Ty and Anakin were going to meet. His name was Blu Java and he was the best source of underworld information he was dressed in some rather shabby looking clothes to hide who he was and what he possessed. Seeing his friends he smiled his usual smile the Coruscant native was obviously born and raised in the lower portion of the city covered planet. And if there was one thing Blu knew was that knowledge was power and in that regard Blu had it all. And luckily he had it all and on top of that he always made sure since there first encounter that Ty and Anakin had the information they needed. So approaching him Ty gave him the signal for a private conversation and he obliged by escorting them to his private office. Once inside Blu asked in very raspy voice saying
"What can I do for you friends you two are about the only two I have especially now since the war has broken out and I ain't one to sell out the Jedi and trust me the CIS is pushing hard for me to do so. So I guess I am really glad you came by I have been told by a reliable source that the CIS is using the Black Sun, The Pike Syndicate, and some new organization from Mandalore "Death Watch" to move weapons and lead droid troops. But the worse has been the knowledge of these Sith Acolytes going by the name of the "Blood Sun Council" they are supposedly a large group but it is unknown how many or who is leading them. Did the Jedi have any of this information?"
"Only on the Sith which I guess would be fitting. My master was the one to encounter them on Geonosis they seemed to be strong in the force though the ones he fought seemed to rely on brute force and not strategy. I would request that you look into them a bit more for me as officially we cannot the council seems to want to write it off as an isolated case since the Sith of the recent times have followed The Rule of Two I myself as well as Anakin would like to be sure. So for me can you happen to drop the information off anonymously right?"
"Actually I can my friend and I believe I have an old senate guard uniform I can use and an old ID number as well I think I can make it happen for you." He finished extending his hand which Ty accepted solidifying the deal. So with that Anakin and Ty went back to the Temple and stayed up sparring and training all night long only resting about three hours before the sunrise.
(The next morning)
Ty, Anakin, and 4 other Jedi were standing in front of the council with its newly elected member Obi-Wan Kenobi now they had a complete council and with it could reach a more thorough consensus. Looking them over with his ever critical eye was Mace Windu. He looked at Ty first then Anakin, then Ferus Olin, Nhadar Vebb, Tru Veld, and Kento Marek. All were standing before them and all had a look of excitement on their faces, seeing this Mace spoke up saying
"As of today you all will be taking on Padawan learners. Now I know times are turbulent and we should not be giving you such responsibilities, but we also know that we need Jedi to keep peace so as such you have been selected by us the council personally to see this through. Now as for who will be teaching who, starting with Anakin Skywalker you will be teaching the Togruta youngling Ashoka Tano she is skilled and very gifted but she is also very stubborn at times. Ty Windu you will be teaching an older student we discovered on Dathomir, we received him from the Night Sisters since he was to rebellious to the traditional way of the Dathomiri Zabrak Night Brothers. He seemed to disagree on the term of one gender being above another and he is quite headstrong so you will have your work cut out for you, his name is Savage Oppress and he is surprisingly very powerful in the force and he is also not so surprisingly very gifted in weapons and martial arts so on that note you will have to prove yourself to him as a capable teacher so you might have to exert some force as is tradition with his people. Ferus Olin you will be teaching a male Bothan named Jor Flet he is above average in stealth and was a standout among the younglings in lightsaber training. Kento Marek you will be teaching the male Wookie named Dewchooka he is very gifted in the physical portion of Jedi Training and a fairly powerful in using the force he is young to be a padawan and being a Wookie he is looking to prove his strength so teaching him patience would be best. Nhadar you will be teaching the female Gungan Zor Tarpals, General Tarpals Daughter to be precise, she like most Gungans are acrobatic, fast in water, and very good spear fighters. She is a bit older but very disciplined though she can be a free spirit and her gifts in the force are above average.
Finally Tru Veld you will be teaching a young Paun named Elu Took he is very gifted in tactics and very talented in lightsaber combat and like Zor Tarpals above average in use of the force. Now as for why we chose you also we believe that these students of yours may one day be skillful enough and how should I say thorough enough that they may one day be part of the Jedi Guardians, as you know they are trackers and protectors of Holocrons as well ancient Sith and Jedi Artifacts. We believe that these students of the force will be just what we need for future expeditions in the galaxy so please take good care with their training. Now everyone but Knights Windu and Skywalker are to leave meet their charges, Ty and Anakin we have arranged for you to meet your students at the temple fountain. Now as for why you are here is simple." Mace said then Master Plo Koon spoke up saying
"You two have been appointed to lead the entire 501st legion in conjunction with the 7th fleet. Ty you are leading this operation alongside Anakin here due to your complementing skills and qualities. Your friends in the senate consisting of senator Bail Organa, Senator Padme Amidala, the Previous Chancellor Valorum, Mon Calamari senator Don Gar, and finally the senator of Kamino Song Me. Have all combined resources to create and given you a fleet large enough for the job you are being tasked with which is the taking of and holding of the Outer-Rim territories. If we hold the outer regions we limit the amount of hiding places for the enemy, as well as cut off supplies to the many out post they no doubt have. It appears that the CIS has already taken a majority of the Outer-Rim and it is up to you all to take it back." Plo Koon finished.
Then Obi-Wan spoke up saying that
"Now my friends I will pick up on the portion Plo Koon left out. Your military might, will consist of 45 Mon Cala Viscount Dreadnaught class Cruisers, 250 Venator Class Star destroyers, 75 MC-80, 85 Victory II class star cruisers, and finally 65 Acclamator class assault ships. As for Star fighters you have been given 1585 Z-95 headhunters, 5200 V-Wings, 4850 Y-Wings, 3500 ARC-170's, 155 N-1 starfighters, 450 Corellian Corvettes, and as a gift from Utapau thanks to Bail Organas friendship with their leader Tion Medon your fleet has received 950 Utapaun P-38 starfighters. Also on the list 45 Kuat Drive Yard Firesprays they were given on the conditioned that only the your best pilots operate them and that when they do so you are to be present at all times so please make sure they are necessary when used and as a gift to you both Captain Akbar has given you two of his Prototype starfighters called B-Wings, it would seem that the fighter is designed way different then the fighters of today and as for you Ty Senator Amidala has gifted you the Infiltrator ship used by Darth Maul it was in good shape upon discovery but it appeared that any useful information onboard its computers were completely erased." Obi-Wan said finishing his read out.
He then looked over to Zabrak Jedi Master Eeth Koth who spoke up saying
"Knights in conjunction with your aerial combat weaponry and equipment, you have been allotted an over whelming number of troops to take the Outer-Rim it consist of well over 350,000 troops. On top of those numbers you have been given the Republic Commando team called Delta Squad, it consist of the leader Delta-38, Delta-07, Delta-41, and Delta-62. Your ground vehicles consist of AT-TE's, AT-RT's, the massive Juggernauts, LAAT Gunships, Troop transports, and Vehicle Transports and finally Incom T-47 airspeeders for close range air support. The speeders were reconfigured for combat and both ground and air support." Eeth Koth finished.
Mace Windu then spoke up and saying
"You two may choose 5 Jedi each to assist you; two can be from this very council. Now Anakin you may choose first." Looking around Anakin looked at his old master and then over to Ki-Adi-Mundi after thinking he said
"I want masters Kenobi and Mundi to accompany me as my council members, as for my other three I would like to send for Master Unduli, Knight Tru Veld, and Master Ry-Gaul." He finished satisfied with his choices.
"Very Well." said Mace "Now for you Ty who will you choose?"
"I would choose you Master but I know you have to deal with the senate and its drama so for my council member choices I choose Master Plo Koon and Kit Fisto, as for my last three choices I choose Quinlan Vos, Rohm Kota and his militia, and Ayla Secura. Now may I ask who my admirals are and what's the name of our Flagship?"
"Well since you are the leader Ty along with Anakin you two have received the Chiss Admiral Kato Wall, Human Admiral Wolfe Yularen, and finally Zabrak Admiral Tico Bode. All three are very skilled and very strategic though Admiral Yularen is very by the book. Admiral Wall wishes to work with you Ty specifically as does Admiral Bode wishes to work with you specifically Anakin. Now you each will have a Flagship both being Viscount class Dreadnaught cruisers. Ty yours is called, "Krayt Dragons Might", Anakin yours is called the "Blue Knight" now onto who will oversee everything I and the council all agree that Masters Th-" But Mace was cut off abruptly due to Ty's interjection
"You will all over see nothing, because the moment you spoke the words of myself and Anakin being in charge of this you forfeited your right to oversee anything other than progress. You all just worry about Coruscant and its corruption let my teammates and I handle the Outer-Rim. Besides you already have four Council members with us, what is the extra overseeing for? You do not trust us now?"
"Now my old apprentice you should remember where you are at and with who you are speaking to. I am not some Padawan you are teaching."
"That may be true but I am and never have been a fool, I know you also master and you thought you put me in place by telling me I was in charge you insulted my intelligence to such a degree that you assumed I would not recognize that little detail. But I say this that I AM in charge and not put in place you managed and don't confuse the two. Now if you will all excuse me?" Ty finished a little bit pass insulted seeing an opportunity to have a little fun Anakin grabbed Ty's shoulder and said
"Hey Ty did not also say that the fleet built was given to you and I? And does that not mean you and I are technically now leaders of our own private Military? I believe even the Clone Troopers are now bound by the circumstances so long as we serve the Republic as well right?"
"I believe it does Anakin now Masters Fist, Plo, Mundi, and Kenobi, are you leaving with us or do Anakin and I need to choose new people to replace you?"
"No, I do not think that will be necessary since we happen to agree with your reasoning. And after what I just witnessed I wonder myself how many times the council has done what they tried to do to you to me. With that I must withdraw my hand from the council ranks." Said Master Mundi then Master Plo spoke up saying
"I agree as well there is no telling what you have done to the likes of the weaker willed Jedi." Plo Koon then looked at Kit who nodded saying
"If you would try to spy on two young Knights who have more invested in the Jedi Order and the Republic than most in this room then I too cannot be part of this council." After that Obi-Wan spoke up saying
"I concur with the others on this based on the grounds that using our own to spy on two Knights is far from the Jedi Way I too revoke my own status as a council member." He said somberly landing the final shock on the remaining Council members which prompted Mace Windu to speak with authority saying
"You may leave but you will not be on this mission any longer I hereby banish you from taking the Outer-Rim. Does the Council agree?" He asked he immediately received nods from everyone including a stiff nod from Yoda.
"Well who else has the man power and resources to take the Outer-Rim besides us you may be the council but you are not the council how are you going to tell them that the fleet gifted to them by not only four of the very own and very outspoken members and the previous Chancellor that the Fleet given to them will not be used for its purpose?" Asked Plo Koon to the remaining Council members who were stomped for an answer, after a full minute of conversing amongst themselves Yoda and Mace agreed on a suggestion of masters Koth and Tiin saying
"You make a valid point so as a chance to see if you are not a threat you will be given the most dangerous ops in the Outer-Rim and part of the Mid-Rim as well as an assisting unit. Now for your first mission you are to take out the Hutt families and take over their trade routes now dismissed."
And with that the group left in silence slightly shaken by the sly move that Mace had made and at how easily the group sided with. Deciding to stay together to save time Ty spoke to the others saying.
"I can't believe that my old teacher would go through all the trouble of teaching us all these training exercises and work on our skills to the point we passed out in exhaustion just to not trust us. I just wonder why that's all. What do you all think about it?" The first to speak was Kit Fisto who said
"It would seem they witnessed both of your skills in battle. I guess the way you all defeated and lead your troops against the horde of droids on Geonosis and how most of the more experienced Jedi were not able to keep up with two at the time advanced Padawans'. And believe it or not the Council does not discuss everything together, see I and Obi-Wan were Junior Members. Plo Koon and Mundi were temporary members and were not notified as well due to the sensitivity of the information they were discussing I guess they just let the force guide them to their decision."
"That maybe, but even the force can be clouded and just outright wrong as we have all seen. Look at how many premonitions we have all seen and how many have been accurate? What maybe three out of ten, it is just one of those things that happen and you must understand what it means and rationalize what everything means. I would even wager that may have seen something in the force that showed them something catastrophic happening to the Jedi Order and probably think you two are the catalyst for such a horrible future." Said master Mundi
Then Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke up saying with a strong clarity in his voice
"That may be true but I also believe that our threat is within our senate and leadership. And I also believe that you will both be needed to save the Order, and to help lead and protect the galaxy." As that was said the team approached the fountain and saw the two new charges of Ty and Anakin.
After walking a little further they definitely recognized Ty Windu's apprentice. He was a tall Dathomiri Zabrak about 6'8 and probably 245 pounds. He was no doubt augmented by the Night Sisters from birth, but he had a kind look in his eyes that was genuine. He appeared to be about 17 years old and had brown and gold skin with black and white markings all over. He wore a special made Dathomiri armor that had torso armor made of Rancor Hide and pants plated with tempered durasteel and Heavy Dathomiri Boots. It was on his wrist were bladed wrist guards and on his hip was a special sword he was given by the leader of the Night Brothers. Seeing him Ty smiled and said to his new charge
"Welcome to the order and by definition my mission, I will explain more later on. Now judging by your appearance I believe you are not one for sneaking around and more attuned to the physical and raw power form of training. Now tell me what forms of lightsaber combat you have been introduced to?"
"I was introduced to the styles of Form 2, 3, and 5. I am also very well trained in the weapons of the Night Brothers, and I was so skilled with using the Martial Arts of the Night Brothers I am a master of the Hawk eye fist which consist of highly accurate and fast strikes to the joints and pressure points. The second one is the style of the Gundark, it places emphasis on multiple strikes at full power to impose your will on your opponent and finally the style of the Bull Rancor, and it is as it represents power, speed, strength, and ferocity. But as I look at you Master I see you too have trained in the Martial Arts and that you are very powerful. But back to what you asked me that is it. As for my abilities in the force I can use force pull and choke as well as a mid-level repulse. I would like to say also that I am honored to be among the ranks of the Jedi at any level, and also please have patience with me master I am just starting on my journey as force wielder." Savage said bowing to Ty in respect.
Ty Replied saying "I will and I am already impressed with your abilities you show great promise as a Jedi and I believe one day you will become a Master." After saying that Ty looked at Ashoka and saw that she was young though not as young as they assumed she was about 14 and short for a Togruta. She had orange brown skin with white markings on her face, she also had a blue and white head crest that tapered off into tentacles and she green eyes. She was wearing a skirt with shorts underneath that came to knee level and short sleeve leather like armor shirt, and arm bracers and light boots.
After reading her feelings Anakin recognized her feelings of nervousness and anxiety. He could also detect a large hint of arrogance in her as well. So seeing this as a good a time as any to let her know who was in charge of her training Anakin spoke saying
"So young one I sense a great deal of conflict in you are you intimidated by us or is it your fellow padawan Savage here?" he smirked quickly after seeing her change in expression she still responded saying.
"I am not intimidated least of all by him, you are all my superiors and as such I am obligated and want to show you respect. As for Savage he is way behind in use of the force and lightsaber training." She finished conceitedly. Hearing this made Anakin think of himself as did it to Ty who spoke next to Anakin saying
"Anakin we have a little time before we have to meet with the team we have chosen, let us take our Padawans to Cin Drallig and have them spar a bit you know to see what we are working with."
"Yes I like your line of thinking come you two we will see who is superior as well. Let's go, oh are you coming Masters?"
"I think we will go on ahead and meet with the others we will be at the Docking bays just don't take too long."
"Okay we won't and don't believe it will take so long." And with Anakin's peace said the group separated.
(Cin Drallig's training center)
After asking Master Drallig could they have use of one of his training rooms the group of four along with Cin Drallig entered the room. Cin Drallig was asked to be the official for the spar and so it was.
Looking at each other from across the ring Savage dropped into his Gundark fist which was the right leg in front along with the left arm extended forward and both hands slightly open to reduce drag in his punches.
Ashoka opted for the style of K'thri which slightly surprised Anakin, But Ty had assumed she might know that style since she appeared to be rather acrobatic. Her stance was pure with her arms extended to that of wings on a bird and her base stance solid and in a leaping position. So seeing this Cin Drallig asked were both warriors ready, getting affirmative nods from both he shouted
"Begin!" and so it did with Ashoka springing forward at top speed aiming to end the fight quickly. Savage seeing her approach opted not to move out of the way but take her hit to see what she was working with, and it payed off. She landed three punches and a back flip kick to his chin, but to her shock he was unfazed. Which was mostly because of harsh his training was. Seeing her still in shock Savage pressed forward landing some devastating punches to her stomach and face. Ashoka who was dazed manage to recover slightly to grab his wrist and flip over landing a kick to his neck but like before it was fruitless due to her lack of strength due to her body obviously not being fully developed. Savage tired of playing around switch to his more precise style to end the fight without harming her any further. He went with his Hawk eye fist and proceeded to dismantle her defenses and her body causing her to fall back temporarily paralyzed from hitting several key pressure points and thus also passed out from the pain of the strikes.
Seeing all this Cin Drallig called a halt to the fight, he then looked at Savage and smiled telling him
"Great fight for you I should say, I see the Night Brothers have trained you well. you are officially the winner of this match and as a reward I will give you a pass to train here any month of the year you see fit."
"Thank you Master Cin Drallig I truly do appreciate this gesture. Now onto your teacher Savage let us see what he thought." Cin Drallig said giving him the nod to tell him what he needed to know. After a full 30 seconds Ty spoke
"I am impressed with your skill sets and how well you hid your talents with a lightsaber and your real strength in wielding the force. Your opponent attacked you first to prove she was superior to you and she found it to be different then what she conceived in her mind. And with that also brought on arrogance to assume you did not need ones help. In order to be called a master is having the ability to take ownership of one's responsibility and mistakes. It also means showing restraint. Now let's wake her up shall we."
And so they did, and when she came too Ashoka looked around and asked
"How long was I out for?"
"Just about 20 minutes." Said a smirking Anakin, when she saw the look on his face she asked,
"What is that smirk for?" The next to speak was Ty who was standing next to Savage who had a blank expression on his face.
"Well young Ashoka I am pleased to tell you that you have tasted defeat at the hands of a superior opponent. What have you to say for yourself?"
"I have nothing to say other than how did he withstand my attack? That attack normally worked on everyone, especially larger opponents and how did you take all those punches?" She asked still in shock at what transpired.
"Well it is simple." Said Savage "You do not hit hard at all, I have been conditioned by the Night Brothers to the point of death to block out pain and discomfort. And the reason you even hit me is because I allowed it, I wanted to see just how strong you were and I was not impressed. And I even spoke of my skill set and you assumed that my strongest set of skills were in hand to hand. We never got into weapons luckily for you because if we had I don't believe you would be waking up as fast as you did. I actually went easy on you. I have been training since I could walk, and have been in many fights, so be careful how you underestimate your opponents."
So with all that said the group departed to meet up with their chosen teams. Only the Force knew what would take place in this war.
