Count Dooku's Secret Apprentice
Hey guys here's a Clone Wars story line for you to follow. I''m picking up as season five ended and am going to explore some story lines that the show didn't or couldn't. I love Ahsoka's story line so i decided to put her with my OC's story line. I'll also see if i can work something out with Ventress, Darth Maul and Captain Rex and see what'll happen to those guys. Don't know how much I'll write it would be nice if people reviewed this story as well as give me any suggestions. If you want to see the other stuff that I've written check it out at Avatar The Last Airbender The Story of Delta. In the meantime here is the story hope you enjoy it and the boy in the vision is my OC but he's physically based on Starkiller from the Force Unleashed Franchise. Disclaimer: I'll say that i don't own any of the character's except for my own which are Satele and John Macgregor, their parents, siblings, and Alfred the Butler.
Satele Macgregor was having a tough time falling asleep. She knew that she needed it because she was going to be going back in the front lines soon, but she couldn't get rid of these dreams or visions or whatever they were. She had another one last night and now she was determined to find out if it means anything. People at the Jedi Temple usually were kind to her and offered advice or help, which she was okay with, but all the same it felt like they might be patronizing her just a little bit after what happened to her family.
Satele was on her way to find Master Yoda and see if he could offer any insights into her "vision" that kept coming back. Last night it started out as it had before. She was in the middle of a dimly lit room. In it there were eight people. Six were standing guard around the person in the middle. There was another man in the room whom Satele had no trouble identifying, Count Dooku. She saw him look down at the boy whose hands were bound in chains. He was dressed in an unusual array of clothes. He had a regular gray cloth shirt with faded white rags that served as gauntlets on his arms. His upper body (which was very well defined due to extra strenuous workout) he had a harness that went from both shoulders with a leather pauldron on his right shoulder, and from that two straps of leather wove down around his body and came across his chest horizontally. She saw that his harness carried two lightsabers.
Just then Count Dooku spoke, "You have served your purpose well, but it appears that I no longer need your services." The Count looked at one of the guards who stood at the entrance of the door. "You know what to do." The guard nodded and the other people in the room moved forward as the Count left the room.
Every time Satele saw this she had no idea who the boy in the circle was. He was around sixteen to seventeen years of age. He had brown hair and brown eyes and a short haircut that brought out more features of his face. He also had a cleft chin. Overall Satele would say that he was of the ruggedly handsome type, but being a Jedi she knew she shouldn't think about things like that. Her thoughts went back to the vision after the Count left.
The men closed in around the boy and waited for a few minutes. It was these few minutes that proved their fatal mistake. The lights in the room went out. Surprised by this sudden anomaly the men opened fire on the boy, but he wasn't there. "What happened?" One of the men said. "Where is he?" Another man asked more scared than anything. Just then a bright red light came out of nowhere and stabbed through one of the men. Just as quickly as it appeared the light went out. The men fired again. In another area of the room the boy had activated his lightsabers and took down two more guards with extreme finesse. He deactivated his swords again and the guards kept firing where they thought he was. He then took out two more guards who were firing at him and again he powered down his lightsabers. There were only two guards left. The boy activated both of his lightsabers and killed one of them with two quick strokes. The last guard knew he was next. He fired a shot and the boy deflected it. Another shot was fired and that one was deflected as well. The guard realized too late that his back was against the door. The boy stabbed the last guard with both lightsabers and swept them across the man's body.
The door opened and Satele heard the boy speak, but it was telepathically. 'Betrayed by Dooku for the last time a new journey begins with something worth fighting for.' As he was saying this he killed two more guards who were standing guard at the entrance to a hallway. 'Someone worth dying for,' as he finished speaking there was a clunk at the end of the hallway. The boy turned and deactivated his lightsabers. He was facing big droid that had a wicked looking drill on one of its arms and a weird looking instrument on the other. It was circular in design and it had a weird metal attachment that ran along its length. The droid started to ignite a flame from this instrument. The boy saw this and ran towards the droid and just as the droid released a deadly flamethrower, the boy dropped to his knees and slid on the floor with inhuman speed. He leapt up from that position, did a somersault and turned on a lightsaber which slashed through the tank that powered the flamethrower. As he came down from the flip the boy shot a concentrated burst of lightning into the opening that he had created and the droid exploded.
Then the dream shifted to the boy coming out of the door to an elevator. It opened and he was in a large hangar section of the compound. In it were several Super Battle Droids, regular Battle Droids, and another one of those weird looking droids. As he entered the hangar the boy was speaking, 'And I will not stop, I will not rest. Dooku won't stop me now.' As he was saying this he activated his lightsabers and started to run towards his enemies. An alarm was blaring as he cut, sliced, and kicked his enemies, even using the Force to push them back. He got through the first wave and then the droid with the flamethrower attachment tried to attack him, but he used the Force to stop it, crushed it into a ball of metal and he threw it at his attackers. After this he mowed through his enemies cutting them down with furious accuracy and when he was surrounded by the rest of the droids, he jumped up into the air, screamed and released a powerful wave from his body that took out all of the remaining droids.
Thinking he was done he put his lightsabers in his harness then he saw that he had one more opponent to face. It was a giant spider looking droid. It had four legs that extended from its body as well as two oddly shaped antennae on top of its head. The droid wasted no time in trying to kill the boy. Its green eyes turned orange as it fired a deadly laser at the boy. However he was able to absorb it in his hand for a short period of time, after which he loosed a stream of lightning at the droid. He then ran towards it, activated his lightsabers and threw them at the droid. They cut through one of the droids legs and it fell down. The boy leapt up from the ground and grabbed his lightsabers from the air and landed on the droid. He stabbed the droid's head repeatedly and then cut the antennae off of the droid. He jumped down from the head, onto a leg and cut that off at the joint. From there he jumped down to the ground and deactivated his lightsabers. He faced the droid as it tried to swing its damaged leg towards him, but he stopped it in mid swing with the Force. Using all of the power he could muster he raised the droid from the ground and brought the remaining limbs of the droid so that they were tight against its body. The boy then released the droid letting it fall; he activated his lightsabers and jumped straight up going through the droids body as he did so. He turned so that when he flipped back he was facing towards the other side of the droid and using both lightsabers; he cut the droid in half and landed on the ground.
This was where the vision ended for Satele and she knew that she couldn't hold off not telling anyone about it for very long. She had a suspicious guess as to who might be in the dream, but until he revealed himself, she would never really know who he is. Satele walked out of the southern entrance to the Temple and saw a group of well-known Jedi, including her Master, Mace Windu. Of all the Jedi to pick her as their apprentice Master Windu had deemed her exceptionally gifted and volunteered to train her. She saw them looking at two figures in the distance and realized that it was Anakin and Ahsoka. They were talking and then Anakin bowed his head and she left.
The rest of the Jedi turned back towards the Temple except for Obi Wan. He stayed and waited for Anakin. As the Jedi reached the top of the steps Satele asked, "What's going on?" She looked at her master hoping he'd provide an answer. "It's Ahsoka," he replied, "She's choosing to leave the Jedi Order." That took Satele back, but she knew that considering what Ahsoka had been through, she couldn't blame her. May the force be with you Ahsoka Tano, Satele said in her mind, and wished her friend the best. Then Anakin and Obi Wan reached the top of the steps. Satele thought she should say something to Anakin, but didn't know what. He had a tortured look on his face, as if he were the one who had been betrayed. "Is something on your mind Satele?" Obi Wan asked her noticing her gaze towards Anakin. "Oh yes sorry, I actually came to see you Master Yoda." This took most of the Jedi by surprise except for Master Windu.
The short Jedi gave her a quizzical look and said "Trouble sleeping have you?" She was a little taken aback by his insight. "Sort of I've been having this weird vision for a few weeks now and every time I wake up from it I feel like a part of me is moving about; but at the same time my body is still in its present state. It's kind of hard to explain." Master Yoda bowed his head and said "Delicate things visions are. Meditate you should on what this might mean." He turned and started walking back towards the entrance to the Temple. "I think it has something to do with John;" the Jedi who were within earshot all stopped at the mention of her brother's name. Both Yoda and Master Windu looked at each other and they looked back at her. "Follow us." Master Windu said and Satele knew better than to delay. As she followed them she wondered how fast word of this would spread. Her brother had been taken from the Jedi a couple years before the Clone Wars started and no one had seen him since.
All the Jedi who had searched for him even Master's Windu and Kenobi agreed that he was probably dead or worse. Her parents were very active people within the Alderaanian government. Her dad was a bounty hunter from Mandalore before he met her mother who was from a very prominent family on Alderaan. He gave up bounty hunting so he could marry her. And when he proposed to her she accepted and he even served as a part time body guard to Senator Organa. Her mom was a very gifted saleswoman and had started a company which made her family wealthy.
She used this wealth to help the people of Alderaan as well as those who lived on Coruscant. When their son was taken from by a unknown bounty hunter while he was doing a simple training exercise on Coruscant, both her parents were devastated at the news. Her father spent at least three whole years trying to find him. Her mother had gone into a deep depression while he was gone. In the end her dad gave up even though he claimed to have traveled from one side of the galaxy to the other. He never found his son. They ended up moving back to Alderaan but they left their apartment complex on Coruscant for Satele to use as she wished. They also left their butler Alfred, to help maintain it along with some capable droid units. Satele would visit the apartment every once in a while and they would talk about her training and more recently about the war.
Without realizing how quickly they were walking Satele noticed that they were already at the meditation chamber that some of the Jedi on the Council used. There were three seats and each of them took one. "Now tell us why you think this vision might have something to do with your brother." Satele looked at them and said, "It might be more helpful if I'm allowed to show you." Master Windu and Yoda looked at each other and they looked back towards her "Show us Satele, that we may better understand your predicament through this vision of yours." With Master Yoda's permission Satele connected with both of them through the Force and showed them everything that happened in the vision. It didn't seem as if either of them was bothered by it, but Satele knew that they would have questions for her. When they were done with the vision, Yoda and Mace looked at each other with worried expressions.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were having this vision before now?" Master Windu asked. "Because I knew of your efforts to help locate my brother and that it was a painful experience to be brought up with you," Satele replied. "Started having this vision recently you did?" Yoda asked. Satele shook her head "Actually I first had this vision when I was around sixteen years old. Master Windu and I had just gotten through a very tough mission in the Outer Rim. I was in my quarters resting and meditating." Satele paused for a moment before she continued. "Anyways I was just sitting on my mat meditating and reconstructing my lightsaber, when this vision happened. I don't know how long it was when finally came to but all I know is that I was lying on my back panting hard and my lightsaber was lying strewn across the floor."
Mace nodded as he remembered coming to check on her and saw that she was in such a troubled state. He had asked her what was wrong and she said nothing although he sensed that she was hiding something from him, but he didn't want to push the subject. "And you're sure it wasn't from fatigue or anything else of that nature?" He asked her. Satele shook her head. "Think your brother could be connected to this vision somehow?" Yoda asked her. "Yes Master I do," Satele replied. "How can you be certain of this?" Mace asked her. "Because of his physical appearance," Satele stated. Yoda and Mace looked at each other again. "Remind you of someone he does," Yoda said. Satele nodded "Who then?" asked Master Windu. "My father," Satele said. Now that he thought about it Mace could see that the boy did have a similar look to his father. Either way it wasn't going to do her any good dwelling on something that may have been. "Satele your father searched the entire galaxy looking for him. A lot of good Jedi many of them our friends risked their lives to look for him. If he is alive then chances are he's probably gone to the dark side." "But you can't know that for certain," Satele said believing that they weren't thinking clearly on this topic.
"No we can't but anything that we might think of this boy whether or not he is your brother is idle speculation, and it doesn't do anyone good bringing up old wounds. Whoever this is either he'll reveal himself to us or he won't. In the meantime I want you to stop thinking about this and get ready to head back out." Satele sat there fuming at her Master's declaration. How was she supposed to stop something that was going on in her head let alone something that may connect her to her twin? She stood up and bowed to them and thanked them for listening to her. "Very strange vision this is," Yoda commented. "You don't think that the boy in that vision is her brother?" Mace asked him. "Hard to tell the past or future is. As you say unless he reveals himself, only then we will know the truth behind this vision." Mace nodded in agreement and left Yoda alone.
Little did they know that the boy they were talking about was now a man in his eyes at least, and he was on the one planet they least expected: Coruscant.
