The Masters & Captains
In the city of Coruscant. The flying cars flew all around each with their own destination, flying above the buildings on the ground below. And amongst those buildings was the jedi temple.
And at that moment Masters Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi were making their way up the temple steps and into the building. As they walked they looked up and noticed the highest tower in the center of the building, where the council dwells. They could sense many strong powers of the force in that room, most of the masters had assembled.
The two made just return from a mission on a faraway planet where they lead clone troopers against the separatists. Right now the clone war was at its height, and these two generals two masters had been ordered to return. Something was up.
The two walked into the temple had found many jedi were going about their normal business.
Just then they were approached by another master.
"Master Window." Called out a gruff voice from behind them."Master Mundi." The two in question turned around to see Master Saesee Tiin approaching them from behind.
"Master Tiin." Said Ki-Adi-Mundi."You have returned from your mission."
"Yes." Replied Saesee Tiin."Upon master Yoda's orders."
"What did he tell you in those orders?" asked Ki-Adi-Mundi.
"The same thing he told everyone." Told Saesee."For all Council member masters to return at once."
"Something is afoot." Said Mace."But I feel no disturbance in the force."
"We'd best not stand around here then." Said Saesee."We should get up to the council tower as fast as we can.
"Aye." Agreed Mace. Then the three masters made their way through the temple and up to the highest tower in the middle of the temple.
In no time the three stood before the doors to the council chamber. The doors slid open and the three stepped inside. And what they saw was unusual. They saw Yoda in the center of the room as the other jedi masters walked all around him levitating the chairs around with the force.
Just then Master Plo Koon walked up behind the three, levitating two chairs around him.
"Excuse me Masters." He said. The three quickly turned and then moved out of his way.
"Wait." Said Mace. Plo Koon turned and face him."What is the meaning of this? Why is the council chamber being rearranged?"
"I do not know." Replied Plo Koon."Master Yoda's orders were to help him rearrange the room." Mace gave and nod to Plo Koon allowing him to go about his business. Then Plo Koon turned and set the two chairs down in the room.
"Master Yoda." Said Kit Fisto as he stood behind a newly seated chair."I believe we're finished.
Yoda took a moment to pause as he went around the room and counted the chairs, old and new. There were originally twelve seats but now another nine had been added.
"No." Yoda spoke up."More seats will we need."
"How many Master?" asked Obi-Wan.
"Four." Replied Yoda. Then with no more questions asked the jedi began to head towards the door and search for more chairs, except for Mace Windu Ki-Adi-Mundi and Saesee Tiin.
"Master." Said Mace as he approached the small green jedi."What is the meaning of all this? What is going on?"
Yoda turned himself to face the three jedi.
"Preparing we are." He said.
"Preparing?" asked Ki-Adi-Mundi."For what master?" Yoda waited a moment before he spoke. For now the suspicion of all the masters was aroused as they all stopped in their tracks to listen to the grand masters.
"Visiting an old friend of mine will be. Created an organization similar to this one he has." Told Yoda."With him are twelve warriors who just like our council they are. We prepare for their arrival." Then he turned away from them and looked to the rest of the masters."When arrive they do on your best behavior you will be, teach them the ways of the jedi and the ways of the force. Disappoint me I know you will not." Then he turned to Obi-Wan."When arrive they do meet them and bring them here you will."
"Yes Master." Said Obi-Wan with a nod.
With that the Masters had an answer to their question and they knew what the purpose was for this need to rearrange.
Meanwhile far off across time and space in the region of the soul society.
The Head-Captain had called all the other captains to gather in the squad twelve barracks. This had caused much confusion amongst their ranks as most of them decided to gather in the squad one barracks just to be safe, but now after realizing that they should have gone to the squad twelve barracks.
Originally there were thirteen captains but recently their numbers had dwindled to ten as three captain's defected and then waged war on the organization they previously worked for. Then the war concluded with the death of the three betrayers, and since they've won they war they turned their attention back to the cost and funding of the war to repair any damages. But now the remaining ten captains were just as confused as the jedi masters, for amongst this critical time in their ranks they were called for a special meeting of great importance with little to no info on it.
But the captains had a much slower reaction time than the jedi masters did. For as the masters all showed up as quickly as they could some captains took their sweet time in getting there.
Waiting in the squad twelve barracks was Squad one captain Yamamoto along with the captains of squads Two, Four, Six, Seven, Ten who thought it would be proper to arrive on time for such an important assignment. But still several of the captains were still missing.
It was then at that moment that the Captain of squad twelve walked in.
"Everything is ready to go." He told as he walked into the room.
"We're still waiting on the rest of the captains." Told Sajin.
"Bah." Said Mayuri."Let us leave them and continue on our way."
"No." said Yamamoto cutting in with a harsh tone in his voice shocking both Mayuri and Sajin."We all must be present here."
"If I may ask sir." Spoke up Unohanna."What's so important that is going on?"
"I will wait until everyone is here to tell you." Told Yamamoto."For I do not want to repeat myself."
Then suddenly the last three captains walked in. The captains of squad eleven, eight, and thirteen. The captain of squad thirteen Ukitake was leaning on the captain of squad eight Shunsui.
Kenpachi walked into the room and stood with a grimace on his face in the background.
"Sorry we're late." Said Shunsui as he held Ukitake."Jushiro began to have another episode." Concern came over the other captains.
"I hope you're doing better now." Said Toshiro.
"Yes." Replied Ukitake."Just fine."
"If you're all just about done." Broke in Yamamoto's voice. The captains then turned and faced their leader."You've been summoned her because we're all going on an important mission."
"A mission?" asked Soifon.
"Where?" asked Sajin.
"Is it Aizen?" asked Toshiro."Is he back?"
"No." said Yamamoto's voice rising and breaking down all the other captains."We're going off to a faraway place to visit an old friend of mine." Then all became silent as the captains tried to wrap their confused minds around the concept.
"Sir." Spoke up Byakuya."I don't understand at why such a critical time in our history that we're turning aside and-"
"SILENCE!" said Yamamoto as he banged his cane on the ground silencing Byakuya."This is an old friend of mine who runs a military system just like the one we're in. But note they are very much different from us here, they will not take kindly to certain antics we pull here." He then looked over at Shunusi most likely noting his wild habits. Then he looked to Kenpachi thinking of his violent actions. Then to Byakuya who's stern nature might cause friction."Never the less, this will be a great learning experience for both sides. So when we go be on your best behavior and do not embarrasses me."
"You don't need to worry about us." Said Shunsui as he pulled his hat over his eyes. Yamamoto rolled his eyes, then turned to Mayuri.
"Captain Kurotsuchi if you please." He said. Then Mayuri flipped a switch and a bright light filled the room as a round portal opened before them.
Yamamoto closed his eyes and seemed as if he was feeling for something.
"Is it safe?" asked Soifon.
"Of course it's safe." Barked Mayuri."I made it." Then Yamamoto gave a slight smirk as he felt a familiar energy on the opposite side of the portal.
"This is it." He said."Let's go." Then the old man moved forward and walked through the portal, one by one the other captains followed him.
Then they came out on the other side.
"Behold." Said Yamamoto as he stood there with his arms wide open. The captain's jaws dropped and eyes bulged wide open at what they saw.
For they stood on top of a building that stood high above the ground, all around them were vehicles flying at extremely fast speeds. Looking down they could see more buildings and flying cars. It looked the same as far as they eye could see.
If they looked hard they could see the jedi temple. And in the highest tower of the jedi temple the council had completed their assignment of rearranging and now sat.
Just then a familiar feeling in the force hit Yoda and he sat there with a look on his face.
"Master?" asked Mace as he turned to the elder jedi.
"What is it?" asked Plo Koon.
"Arrived they have." Told Yoda.
