Star Wars: Starkiller's Clone Wars
So this is my first time posting anything I hope you all like it, basically it's what I think would change if Starkiller, who is my favorite star wars character, lived during the clone wars. As the story progresses the will eventually be pairings of Galen (starkiller) and Ahsoka, Anikan and Padme, Obi-wan and Satine, and possibly a few other minor ones, but do not worry there will be plenty of action as well. I will also be taking some creative liberty with the characters so I apologize to hardcore fans don't hate me. So I hope you all enjoy and I would like reviews and pointers if anyone would be willing.
Kashyyk
Countless battle droids were shooting their way through the Wookie village, the Wookie warriors were putting up a brave resistance but the sheer number of droids was quickly over whelming them. Amidst the chaos a man in black robes and maroon cape was slowly making his way towards a specific hut. As he approached a man in brown robes with a hooded face came out and slowly walked towards the stranger.
"Leave here dark lord there is nothing here for you" the man shouted
The dark lord merely chuckled "You do not fool me, Jedi."
At the word the hooded man visibly backed away. The dark lord drew his crimson saber and the Jedi drew his Cerulean blade. The Jedi engaged the dark lord swiftly striking but each swipe was easily and elegantly dodged. The dark lord then grabbed the man with the force and threw him back and forth from tree to tree. Finally violently throwing the man into the hut breaking the door. As the Jedi lie in pain the dark lord calmly strode into the room and picked him up choking him with the force.
"I sense someone far more powerful than you. Where is your master?"
"The dark side clouds your vision, Dooku." He spat "My master died many years ago."
For a moment the Count looked confused but merely shrugged it off and raised his saber to strike the man down. But at the last moment the lightsaber was ripped from his hands. Shocked the count looked behind him and to his utter amazement, there holding his lightsaber was a young boy no older than four.
"A son?"
"NO! RUN NOW!" the Jedi yelled.
The count could sense the raw and immense force power on the boy and had a thought, so with a flick of the wrist he snapped the neck of the Jedi. The boy watched in horror as his father fell to the floor dead. 'Daddy!'
At that moment a group of battle droids came into the hut looked at the count and then at the boy and proceeded to raise the blasters. In a flash of a moment the count used the force to take back his lightsaber and cut down the droids. He then held out his hand, "Come, more will be here soon"
As they left the hut the boy looked back one last time and saw the body of the Jedi, his father lying there, his last memory of his home as he entered a shuttle with the count.
Serrano 12 years later
The boy now sixteen stood five foot ten, his black hair in a buzz cut, wearing a tattered training uniform, his piercing blue-gray eyes looked straight forward as he walked into the dark room and knelt before his master. The count looked down at the boy "You were weak when I found you but now the dark side gives you strength. Rise my apprentice"
Starkiller stood and walked alongside his master as they left the room.
"I have a mission for you my apprentice"
"What is thy bidding my master?"
"Generals Kenobi and Skywalker have beaten our forces on Christophsis, one of my other agents will be dealing with Skywalker, I want you to track and deal with General Kenobi he is currently on his way to Kashyyk to oversee the construction of the Republic base there. I do not expect you to return, but if you succeed you will be ready to stand by my side as we kill my master."
Starkiller looked up in shock at his master "General Kenobi?" 'I am ready' "I will not fail you master."
"See to it that you don't"
And with that the Starkiller made his way towards the hanger where the Rogue Shadow was docked but as he approached, a Jedi wielding a green lightsaber dropped from above, Starkiller rolled back and activated his blade in the reverse shien grip, and began to parry the Jedi's attacks. He quickly recognized the Jedi as master Qui-gon Jinn, as the Jedi continued to attack he dodged his blade force pushed him back and stabbed the jedi through the chest. It was then that the Jedi's body shimmered to reveal Starkiller's training droid Proxy.
"Excellent dual master, im sorry I didn't kill you."
"It's ok proxy I'm sure you'll kill me someday, but that was a great choice I haven't fought that program in years."
"I thought using an older program would confuse you and then I could fulfill my primary programing"
"It's aright Proxy, but let's get to the ship, Count Dooku finally gave me a mission."
"Where are we headed master?"
"Kashyyk"
Kashyyk One day later
Starkiller had landed on Kashyyk a few hours ago and was slowly making his way through the thick brush to do some recon on Kenobi before his attack. As he neared the base he climbed into a nearby tree to observe. Below General Kenobi was giving orders to his men.
"Cody, have the men get those medical supplies into the base."
The Clone, who Starkiller could see was a Commander, looked up "Yes Sir." The soldier then walked off to relay the orders and that's when Starkiller noticed that Kenobi had stopped moving. Kenobi turned around and looked up, and for just moment Starkiller and Kenobi looked into each other's eyes, and then Starkiller turned and sprinted into the woods as Kenobi yelled "YOU, STOP!" Some of the clones turned to look as Kenobi began to chase after their observer. As he ran into the woods Starkiller noticed he was entering an abandoned village filled with burnt out huts. As he approached a lone hut at the end of the village he stopped and turned to face Kenobi, igniting his crimson blade in his reverse Shien grip. Kenobi Sprinted up drawing his cerulean blade and to the Soresu stance, Starkiller leapt at Kenobi and proceeded to viciously attack Kenobi with Juyo, Kenobi kept up with his defensive form but was impressed by the boys, Speed, Strength, and Skill 'His raw ability and strength is astounding, and his force signature is extremely powerful'
While Starkiller continued the attack, Kenobi saw an opening and force pushed the boy into the hut, and ran in after him, as he entered the room the boy was just getting up and getting ready to attack when a voice rang out. The voice impossibly loud yet a whisper at the same time.
"STOP, YOUR FIGHTING"
Both Starkiller and Kenobi stopped and looked as a blue tinted man waked out of the shadows. Starkiller looked at the man unable to identify him yet somehow, feeling a strange sense that he knew this man.
"Hello my son" The man said to Starkiller, and then looked at Kenobi "And hello to you my old friend" Kenobi was awestruck and unable to comprehend what he was seeing.
"Kento? How is this possible you died twelve years ago?"
Kento chuckled "You of all people should know my friend the force works in mysterious ways"
As the man spoke, his words finally dawned on Starkiller, "Wait did you just say my son?"
The man sighed "Yes, yes I did I feared that Dooku would make you forget everything about the time before he took you" And as the man finished his sentence the memories flooded back into Starkiller's mind, everything including the pain hit him at once.
Galen then fell to his knees and sobbed "I remember everything, father, I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
"It is alright Galen, I do not blame you, only Dooku."
Obi-wan watching and listening finally spoke up "I still don't understand"
"You remember I left the order sixteen years ago"
"How could I forget I lost my friend that day"
"I left because Mallie and I had broken the code, we married in secret and we left a year later because she was with child."
Obi-wan was shocked and then looked over at the boy who was watching them quietly sobbing, it was only at this moment that Obi-wan realized how young the boy truly was.
"Obi-wan I must ask you to take Galen back to the Jedi temple and help him leave behind the dark side, and for you t train him as a Jedi"
Obi-wan and Galen's eyes shot over to Kento.
"Kento you have always been a friend but I don't know if I can…"
"Please take it as a last request of a friend"
Obi-wan sighed "Why is it every time a fellow Jedi dies around me I end up training a child"
"Obi-wan I know you've been thinking about getting a new Padawan."
"Alright I will bring him before the council and request to train him."
Kento then looked over at Galen who had regained his composure somewhat "Galen please go with Obi-wan, listen to what he says and don't stay a slave to the dark side and the man who took away your family."
Galen looked back between his father and Obi-wan bowed his "yes father I, follow him and train in the light in you and mother's memory"
"Thank you my son, now it is time for me to go, and know I will always love you" and with that he faded into the shadows.
Galen the stood up grabbed his lightsaber and walked towards Obi-wan, seeing this obi-wan tensed for a moment until he saw that Galen was handing him his lightsaber. Obi-wan took it from him and said "Come with me we will leave for the Jedi Temple" Galen nodded and proceeded to follow Obi-wan back to the republic base.
Coruscant Two days later in the Jedi Temple
Galen sat just outside the chambers of the Jedi council as bi-wan presented his case, he felt as if he had been sitting for days but his chronometer told him it had only been 45 minutes. As his mind wandered on his fate he became to engrossed in his own thoughts to notice the door slide open and Obi-wan to walk over to him.
Obi-wan noticing that Galen had neither heard him nor sensed him placed his hand on Galen's shoulder. Galen visibly startled quickly gained control of himself and looked up at Obi-wan as he spoke "The Council will see us now" Galen nodded his head and followed Obi-wan into the council chamber. As the entered the room Obi-wan chose to stand by Galen instead of taking his seat alongside the council.
Mace Windu was the first to speak up, "So this is the son of Kento and Mallie Marek"
"Yes Master Windu" replied Obi-wan
"In the force strong he is, very strong" said Yoda (A/N and honestly if you didn't know that then seriously you got pay attention)
Ki-Adi Mundi was next to speak up "He is a sith"
"No master his mission in which we met was his first, other than being trained by Dooku he has not done anything that puts him beyond redemption." Said Obi-wan
Shaak Ti spoke next "Yes he left the dark side before it consumed by anger and fear I still sense light within him"
"Thank you master Ti, I wish to take young Galen as my Padawan, show him the way of the Jedi, his is very skilled and very talented with q little help he could become a great Jedi" (Obi-Wan)
"Hmmm…. What does young Galen have to say for himself in this matter" (Yoda)
Galen looked around at the Council "I wish to be a Jedi like my parents before me, I don't want to be a slave to a man that killed my family, I want to honor their memory by helping others."
"Very well a Master Kenobi's Padawan become you shall" (Yoda)
"Thank you masters" Galen then used the force to grab his lightsaber off of Obi-wans belts, and for a brief moment the council tensed, until it slowly floated over and landed in Master Yoda's lap. The council then looked at Galen curiously, Master Plo was the one to ask the question they were all wondering.
"If you wish to be a Jedi why are you giving us your lightsaber?"
Galen looked at Master Plo and the rest of the council then dipped his head, "Jedi build their own lightsaber, that one was given to me by Count Dooku, it hold nothing but darkness and sorrow. I wish for my path to becoming a Jedi to begin with me constructing my own lightsaber"
The council murmured in agreement "very well then you and master Kenobi will go to Illum and you shall begin building your own lightsaber, when you are finished then your Padawan training will begin." (Windu)
Galen bowed his head and Obi-wan turned to look at him "come my young Padawan lets go build you a lightsaber"
"Yes master."
Illum One day later
As Obi-wan and Galen entered the Temple Obi-wan stopped to lok at his new apprentice "Alright Galen, enter the crystal cave and do not come out until you have gotten your crystal, but be hasty the door will freeze over in a couple over hours"
"Yes Master" and with that Galen ran into the cave and began to search for his crystal, an hour passed before he came upon a dark chamber, steam flowing low across the floor, the room reminded him eerily of Dooku's on Sereno. Then at the end of the room shrouded by steam came a faint glow, Galen took a deep breath, stuffed his fear into the back of his mind and slowly began walking towards the glow. As he came closer the glow grew stronger and then, he saw it sitting on a pedestal were twin crystals, Galen could see now difference between the two, to his eye they seemed identical, but he could sense their connection through the force, and their connection to him. Galen then reached out with the force and lifted his twin into his hand, and at that same moment the chamber lit up, the steam dissipated and Galen stopped for a second to grasp his new surroundings and then proceeded to backtrack to the cave entrance.
As Galen exited he spotted Obi-wan meditating waiting for him, Galen approached and Obi-wan stood up to greet him, "Well my young Padawan let me see your crystal." Galen opened his hand "Two crystals?"
"Yes master, they were side by side both calling to me through the force."
"Interesting, well it seems the force wants you to learn the art of Jar Kai saber dueling, well lets get back to the ship and you can begin to build your lightsabers."
Galen's face was plastered with a huge smile "Yes master!" and with that Galen raced back to the ship to build his lightsabers.
As the ship travelled back to Coruscant, Galen sat motion less with parts for both his sabers floating in front of him, slowly but surly the identical hilts were formed, Galen's Lightsaber hilts were slightly longer than the average, which fit his style of combat, as the sabers were completed, they pointed up and simultaneously ignited into two cerulean blades. Galen then opened his eyes and stared into the calming blue and smiled, he then reached out his hands and deactivated the blades clipping them to his belt. As he put away his things Obi-wan entered his room carrying a package, "Galen I have a gift for you."
"A gift Master?"
"Yes, well if you are going to become a Jedi and a Commander, you must look the part. So these are for you."
Galen smiled and opened the package and was awestruck by what he saw, the armor and robes looked amazing. (A/N It's the Hero Armor from TFU2) Galen looked up at Obi-wan smiling "Thank you master this is awesome."
"Well I'm glad you like them, well we are almost to Coruscant, I'll be up in the cockpit, come fid me once you've changed."
"Of course Master, and again thank you again."
Obi-wan smiled "Of course my young Padawan" and with that Obi-wan turned and left for the cockpit.
Galen to his new robes and walked to the refresher to change, once he had changed and strapped his lightsabers to his utility belt he started walking to the cockpit to meet Obi-wan. As he entered he sat by Obi-wan "Well my young Padawan we'll be arriving at Coruscant in about an hour and I would like to introduce you to a friend, then we'll see the council about our first assignment."
"Yes master."
Coruscant Jedi Temple Two hours later
Galen waited beside Obi-wan patiently in the Temple hanger to meet Obi-wan's friend, then a beat up transport shuttle landed in the hanger, Obi-wan smiled and began walking towards and Galen walked calmly beside him as the ramp to the shuttle opened Galen saw a man he instantly recognized as General Anakin Skywalker and alongside him was a beautiful young Tagrutan girl, Galen guessed her age to be around his, he didn't recognixe her but assumed that she was Skywalker's Padawan. Skywalker spotted Obi-wan smiled and said "Master! It's good to see you." It was then that Skywalker noticed Galen standing next to Obi-wan "Umm…. Obi-wan who is this." He said gesturing to Galen.
Ahsoka hit Anakin with her elbow "Don't be rude Skyguy."
"To answer your question Anakin, this is my new Padawan, Galen Marek." (Obi-wan)
Anakin smiled and looked at Galen "Well kid you couldn't ask for a better Master" (Anakin)
"Wait I don't ever remember seeing you around the temple" said Ahsoka slightly confused. Galen averted his eyes from Anakin and Ahsoka and dropped his head.
"Galen didn't grow up in the temple, his parents were Jedi who left the order for, obvious reasons, until Dooku killed his family and kidnapped him when he was four and trained him as a Sith."
Anakin and Ahsoka looked shock and Anakin placed his hand on his lightsaber until Obi-wan raised his hand stopping him. "I came across him and brought him to the temple before he committed any heinous acts and before he was consumed by the darkness, he has fully committed himself to becoming a Jedi in honor of his parents and if you get to know him you'll see he is fine young man."
"Sorry, for my reaction Galen I shouldn't have judged." (Anakin)
"It's alright Master Skywalker I understand that it'll be a while until people can trust me." (Galen)
"Well I'll be your friend Galen" Ahsoka said sweetly to Galen who looked down and blushed at her comment.
"Thank you, that means a lot uh…. Actually you never told me your name."
"OH! I'm sorry, my names Ahsoka Tano and I'm Master Skywalker's Padawan."
"Well it's nice to meet you Ahsoka." Galen said smiling at her, and Ahsoka smiled and looked off to the side with a blush on her face 'Why am I acting this way around Galen? We've just met, but there's something about him'
It was then that Obi-wan and Anakin ended there conversation and spoke to their Padawans, "Well come on Snips we have to debrief the council"
"You too Galen we must speak to the council about our mission."
"Yes Master" the Padawans spoke in unison, Ahsoka laughed while Galen smiled following after his Master.
The Council Chambers
Galen, Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-wan stood before the council to receive their assignment.
"Knight Skywalker and Padawan Tano, a mission we have for you." (Windu)
"Yes, Master" (Anakin)
"Master Plo is looking for General Grievous we want you to move into position to assist if need be." (Windu)
"Of course Master, come on Snips." Anakin said indicating to Ahsoka to follow him.
"A mission for you as well we have Master Kenobi" said Yoda "Travel to Raxus Prime you will, assist the assault on the Separatist shipyards you must."
Obi-wan bowed his head "Of course master Yoda, come my young Padawan, its time I show you the 212th"
Galen smiled at Obi-wan as they left the council chambers "Yes Master, does this mean I get to lead troops"
Obi-wan chuckled lightly "All in do time my young Padawan, lets first get you acquainted with the men"
Galen nodded his head "Of course, I can't wait, getting to go on a Jedi Dreadnought is going to be awesome"
Obi-wan smiled "If you think that is 'awesome'" he said with air quotes "then you'll love my fleet I have three"
Galen looked up at his master with sheer joy "Three! That is so cool, Master what are the names?"
Obi-wan smiled "Well there is my flagship, the Negotiator, which was named after me" Obi-wan said smiling smugly
Galen laughed "I didn't know you had an ego Master"
Obi-wan gasped sarcastically at Galen "I do not have an ego my young Padawan"
Galen chuckled "Whatever you say master, so what are the names of the other three ships?"
"The other two are the Perseverance and the Guardian"
"Are those the only ships under your command master?"
Obi-wan shook his head "No the 212th fleet also has 12 cruisers, 36 frigates, 14 supply ships and the Dreadnoughts have a complement of fighters, bombers, as well as ground forces."
(A/N I know those aren't what the ships are called normally but I felt this was simpler, So dreadnoughts are the star destroyers, cruisers are slightly smaller, then frigates and supply ships, so on and so forth)
Galen looked at his master in shock "That's huge all those ships are under your command?"
Obi-wan simply smiled and nodded "Yes my young Padawan, they are all under my command."
"Wow that's awesome, what do you have for ground forces?" Galen asked curiously.
"Well we have a large assortment of LAATs, Dropships, and AT-TEs"
Galen looked extremely enthusiastic "This is going to so cool"
Obi-wan smiled at his Padawan "Well here we are, let's get aboard the shuttle and get to the fleet."
Galen nodded "Of course Master"
Half an hour later aboard the Negotiator
As Galen followed Obi-wan to the bridge, Obi-wan looked at his Padawan "Galen there are some people I would like you to meet"
Galen looked at his master quizzically but nodded "Yes Master, who are they?"
Obi-wan looked at his Padawan "you'll see n just a moment"
As they entered the bridge they were approached by a clone commander with a visor over his eyes and a bald officer with a brown goatee, wearing a grey uniform, it was then that Galen noticed he held the rank of Admiral. Obi-wan moved forward and turned to the side so as to face both parties, "Galen this is Commander Cody, my second in command of my ground forces, and this is Admiral Block, Commander of my Naval forces"
Galen bowed his head in respect to the two men "It is an hour to meet you both"
Cody removed his helmet and smiled at Galen and then looked at Obi-wan and asked the question both he and Block had been wondering "Who's the kid General?"
Obi-wan lifted his hand slightly at Galen and looked at Cody "Cody, Block, this is Galen Marek my new Padawan"
Cody looked at Galen in slight shock and then saluted Galen, "Commander, it's a pleasure to meet you"
(A/N just a quick note I'm going to follow the clone wars tv show model with a slight adjustment, so each Jedi's clones will get a color, meaning any clone serving directly under a Jedi will not be just white, Ex. All of Obi-wans soldiers will have yellow markings, Anakins Blue, so on and so forth, only clones serving as security or on outposts will be stark white, and I know that wasn't quick, so sue me)
Galen smiled at the Commander "It's a pleasure to be serving alongside you Commander"
Obi-wan smiled and nodded "well let's get going with our mission"
Block nodded at Obi-wan "Yes General, where are we headed?"
"We are headed to Raxus Prime to assist in the attack on the Separatist ship yards"
Block nodded "Yes General I'll get the ships underway"
Obi-wan smiled "Thank you Admiral" Obi-wan then looked at Cody "Cody, would you mind showing Galen the ropes and introducing him to some of the men?"
Cody saluted Obi-wan "Of course General" He then looked at Galen and motioned him to follow "Come on commander I'll show you around"
Galen smiled "Of course Cody, and you don't have to call me commander"
Cody looked at Galen "Of course sir"
Galen sighed and followed Cody out of the bridge.
To be continued…
