Hi guys welcome back for the second chapter of The Assassin: The Final Stand! I was very pleased to see that some of you enjoyed the last chapter and boy you are in for a show today! With the battle for Coruscant taking place, how will the jedi fend off Desric and his armies? Will they succeed or will they all fail? Time will tell...
Anyway, before we get on with the chapter, I gotta mention that Disney is the owner of Star Wars while I simply own my OCs. Okay, that's enough talk, I'm gonna let you all read the next chapter of this story!
The Battle Of Coruscant: Part II
Palpatine's Home
With the Jedi containing the battle, the Chancellor of the Republic is scene siping a nice warm cup of tea as he watches the battle take place in front of him. But thanks to Master Windu's strategy, the Jedi are able to contain the battle and prevent it from spreading across Coruscant.
As he drank his tea, he hears his door bell go off. "Come in." He calmly says while he looks at the battle that is tearing the city apart.
Once the doors behind him slid open, three jedi including an Ithorian, Talz, and Master Shaak Ti, all run inside the room while also having Senate Guards and Clone Troopers at their side. Master Shaak Ti is quick to speak. "Supreme Chancellor we must get you to your shelter immediately!"
The Chancellor turns around to face his Jedi and acts calmly. "But the battle is so far off, and thanks to your fellow Jedi, the battle is being well contained."
"Please Supreme Chancellor! We must follow safety protocol and get you to-"
"I will not cower in the face of this oncoming attack." Palpatine said before he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the roof of his home. The footsteps were loud and mechanical and were loud as each step was taken. Everyone in the room is stunned and is more cautious then ever, not knowing who else was with them.
Everyone begins to look around while the clones and guards held tight onto their blasters, while the Jedi had their hands close to their lightsabers. Palpatine is curious as to what was aking the noise. "Oh what is that…noise?"
As the sound grew louder with each step, Shaak Ti focuses on the sound and suddenly realizes what was actually with them. "We have to go! NOW!"
As she pleaded for the Chancellor to listen to her, the noise suddenly stops. With the room silent, the Chancellor is still calm as before. "See…it was nothing."
Once the Chancellor finished that sentence, a read helmet peaked below and saw everyone in the room. Shaak Ti is suddenly wooried about who was actually with them "CHANCELLOR!"
Before she could say another word, the warrior in red and black armor, wearing a red helmet suddenly slams his fist into the window and watches the large sheet of glass shatter before the Chancellor fell to the ground and everyone saw who was entering the room.
The warrior took one step inside and everyone saw his mechanical red and black armor with tubes going inside his arms and legs while also seeing a red dragon painted acrss his metal chest plate. They all read the reports of who this man was and they knew who was standing in front of them. It was Desric, the Grand Master of the Order Of Assassins.
As Desric steps into the room, he removes his helmet and reveals his face to the Jedi who are horrified at the site of this murderous monster. Thanks to the serum Count Dooku gave him, Desric's face has been fully repaired and gives of an evil smile as he looks at the Jedi. After all the pain and long wait, Desric was ready to have this moment that he had dreamt for so long.
While Desric stood in front of everyone, the Chancellor manages to get back up off the ground before dusting off some of the glass that flew on him. "How dare you barge into my personal residence! Who do you think you are?!"
"Chancellor, I don't think-"
"I'll take care of this Master Jedi." Palpatine said, ignoring the fact that Death was standing right in front of him, ready to strike. "I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic and I will not be bullied by any thug who happens to-"
In a split second Desric viciously grabs the Chancellor but misses his chance when Shaak Ti used the force to pull Palpatine away from harm. With the Chancellor in her arms, Shaak Ti, her Jedi, and a couple of clones leave the room quickly. "Take him down now!"
Once the Jedi left with his target, Desric watches the door close before the guards and clones separate him from the Jedi. He gives off a low growl before his helmet slides over his face before the clones begin to open fire on him. However, before the clones could pull the trigger, Desric manages to leap above the clones and guards and grabs his sabers, before the real fun began.
After he landed behind the clones and guards, what happened next was horrifying. Desric ignited his black sabers and in a split second he lunges toward the clones and begins to cut every blaster in half. Each clone is helpless as Desric quickly begins to disarm them before using lethal force to get his target. Once some of the blasters were cut in half, Desric goes from defense to offenses as he soon begins to gut some of the clones in half.
Screams of pain can be heard as he chops off several limbs and slices through the chests of the fallen soldiers. As Desric manages to kill a few clones, some clones were able to draw their pistols and began to open fire at him. However, as the shots hit Desric in the chest, back, and shoulder, they were all stunned to see that none of those shots were able to kill him. Little did they know, that Desric had created a new set of armor that was completely made of Mandalorian Iron, making him completely unstoppable.
With an armor, than can basically protect him from a slash of a lightsaber, Desric was a dragon that would bring death to all how stood in his way. His armor was iron, no blade could pierce him. His teeth were his swords. His claws were his spears. His wings were his jet pack. The force of his ferocious punch, was like a thunderbolt. And a gaze into his eyes, meant death.
After feeling several shots being fired at him, Desric lunges towards the clones and guards that fired at him and put's away his swords before he uses his fists to beat the hell out of the clones that attacked him. He first lunges over to one clone and chokes the life out of him with one hand before he watches the clones aim their blasters at him. At the moment they fired upon him, Desric uses the clone in his grasp as a shield and watches the clones gun down their own brother.
With his "shield" useless, Desric throws him outside the building before hearing a horrific scream as the clone plumitted to his death. Desric then activated one saber and uses it to slice some of the remain blasters in half while he used his fists against the clones. He looks over to one clone and grabs his helmet before slamming it at the side of a wall, crushing the skull inside the white bucket helmet.
Others suffered the same fate as well, for Desric had also been able to knock a clone to the ground before driving his boot so hard onto the clone lying beneath him, that it crushed his ribs. Desric then pulls out his second saber and leaps above them before pulling off a full three sixty spin above the clones and guards. Once Desric landed behind them, he looks back and sees the soldiers standing behind them lose their heads before their decapitated bodies fell to the ground.
As he began to walk to the door to catch up to the Jedi, he sees a dying clone lay beneath him. He looks down and hears the clone struggle for air, for he was the clone that Desric crushed his ribs. Before Desric decided to end the clones life, he had a better way of killing this clone.
Outside the room, the Jedi guarded the Chancellor and had finally reached the elevator. All they had to do now was wait for the elevator to reach their floor. But as they waited with the Chancellor and a couple of clones, the could hear the fight going on in the room, and they were praying that the clones were taking care of Desric. But deep within their subconscious, they knew that they had not seen the last of Desric.
While they waited for the elevator. They all could hear the screams of clones dying and the sounds of bullets being fired and sabers begin drawn out. As they waited, it suddenly became quiet, and Shaak Ti feared for the worst. What came shortly was the sound of a clone screaming in pain before hearing silence once more.
"Stay behind me." Shaak Ti said.
"Yes." The Chancellor responded.
In a split second Desric comes bursting out of the room, running toward them at full speed with a clones beaten to a pulp in his left hand. The clones draw their weapons and open fire at Desric, but the assassin uses the clone as a shield and is able to continue running toward them like a predator chasing his prey.
Since the clones could not get a shot on Desric, the Talz Jedi Knight uses the force to push Desric away from them. However Desric manages to jump from the ground to the wall, avoiding the attack. He then jumps to the second wall, but Shaak Ti anticipates this move and is able to push Desric into the wall. Not a moment later, the elevator arrives and the clones escort the Chancellor inside before the Jedi saw that Desric had recovered from that attack and was staring down at them.
The Ithorian Jedi looks back and sees Desric getting ready to sprint towards them. Biut as Desric took only two steps towards them, the Ithorian unleashes a scream so loud and so powerful that it tears the hallway down and brings the ceiling on top of Desric, crushing him. The Jedi soon enter the elevator and they were relived that the worst was over. But as they left and headed down to the city floor, Desric removes the rubble on top of him and runs toward the elevator doors. He rips them open and looks down into the dark elevator shaft. It looked like this fight would soon take place in the streets.
As the elevator headed down to the streets, everyone was recovering from the loud attack the Ithorian lashed out at Desric. Shaak Ti is relieved that she had the Chancellor safe and right beside her. "Ithorians…war throats, quite powerful."
"So I've heard." The Chancellor said before they saw the city in front of them while the elevator continued to head down to the floor.
As the elevator was drawing closer to the city floor, everyone was staring at the battle that was taking place far from the Chancellor's. But as they stared, something caught the corner of their eye. They looked beside the elevator and saw Desric free falling right beside the eelvator. As he looks inside the elevator, he sees the look of horror and disgust in their eyes, and also sees a clone carrying a rocket launcher.
In a split second, the clone fires the rocket at Desric, and a large cloud of black smoke soon covers the entire elevator, causing the Chancellor to give a few coughs before they had all finally reached the city floor.
City Streets
As the Jedi, clones, and Chencellor left the elevator filled with black smoke, Shaak Ti informs them what they need to do. "Everyone! Quick! Get to the ship!"
As they ran out into the streets, they were all stunned in horror as they all saw an army of assassins, all lined up and ready to devour the Jedi. Not a moment later, Desric hovers above the army and smiles behind his red helmet. Without saying a word, Desric's assassins march toward the Jedi, while others used jet packs to fly after them. However the Ithorian Jedi steps forward and unleashes his powerful scream, tearing the floor beneath the assassins and sending the mercenaries flying across the street.
However, Desric manages to stay still and tries to fly toward the Jedi. He did not give that easily. After giving a long scream for only a couple of minutes, the Ithorian had to catch his breath before allowing his friends to escape with the Chancellor. As the Jedi ran, Desric saw that his jet pack had ran low on fuel and he soon detaches it from his back, while other assassins do the same as well. The hunt was far from over.
While the Jedi ran away from the assassins, Shaak Ti knew they needed back up. "Trooper call for support!"
"They're jamming our communication! We're on our own!" The Clone responded.
As they ran beside a building, three of Desric's assassins leaped in front of the Jedi. With their sabers ready, the assassins attempt to slash at the Jedi but missed for they watched the knights leap over them with ease and continued to run off with the chancellor. However the clones were not as acrabatic as the Jedi, and the Assassins tore them to shreds with their black swards, before throwing their amputated bodies off the side of the street.
The three robotic assassins look down and see the Jedi running away from them and soon leap off the side of the building they stood on and began to persue the Jedi. It isn't long until Desric jumps in front of his assassins and runs after them as well.
While the Jedi continued to run across narrow bridges, and jump from building to building, Desric and his assassins followed them and it wasn't long until the Jedi began to fend off Desric's assassins. It was a clash between black and blue. Good and Evil. The Jedi Knights of the Republic, against The Order Of Assassins. As their sabers clashed with one another, the jedi used the force to push them away before they continued to run. They knew that with Desric leading them, they wouldn't stand a chance against them. The best thing they could do was run to the Chancellor's bunker.
As they ran away from these monsters the Jedi soon jumped onto a large speeder that soon began to carry them across the city. But it didn't seem to stop the assassins from coming, a few moments later, Desric and his assassins soon jump onto the same speeder as well before they drew out the black sabers.
Shaak Ti and the Ithorian Jedi lunge toward the assassin with their blue lightsabers before they were in for the fight of their lives. While the two Jedi were doing their best to fend off the assassins, a third assassin leaped onto the speeder and was heading toward the Talz Jedi who was carrying the Chancellor. Before the assassin could attack them, the Jedi force pushed him off the speeder.
However, instead of plummeting to his death, the assassin that was thrown off soon pulled out a grappling hook and fires it at the moving speeder before slowly being pulled back onto the speeder while the Jedi continued their fight with the assassins. However while the Jedi continued to fend off the oncoming attacks from the assassins, Desric lands on top of the speeder and slashed his sabers and the speeder's engines. Soon the speeder began to fall straight to the ground.
"Everyone! Get off now!" Shaak Ti said before she and her knights jumped off before Desric and his men were caught in the crash. After jumping off the speeder, Shaak Ti had her Jedi knights run off with the Chancellor inside a nearby subway station. However before she ran into the station, she turns around and sees Desric and his assassins run out of the flames with his assassins following him.
Subway Station
Still on the run, the three Jedi continue to carry the Chancellor to safety as they reach the subway station and cross the station where several subway trains were going at high speed. Leaping over oncoming trains, and running across railways that were not occupied yet, the Jedi felt that this was the place where they could lose the assassins for good.
However the assassins were right on their tail. Leaping over the trains and running at full speed, the assassins were determined to kill the Jedi. It wasn't long until Desric and his men surely reached Shaak Ti and her knights. Although his main objective was to get the Chancellor, he wanted nothing more than to kill a Jedi Master who was a member of the Jedi Council. If he killed a member of the council, he would be seen as a nightmare that would strike fear into the Jedi.
While he was fighting Shaak Ti, with two of his black sabers, several of his assassins attacked the Ithorian Jedi and the Talz Jedi that was carrying the Chancellor. As if it were a dance, Desric and his assassins would often switch their opponents on order to confuse the Jedi, hoping that they would make a mistake that would cost them their lives.
At the same time, while everyone was fighting, everyone was fully aware that they were standing on active tracks, meaning that there were oncoming trains coming left and right every few seconds.
Leaping over trains, the Jedi and Assassins were at each others throats as they continued to attack one another. At the same time Desric was fighting Shaak Ti and was overpowering her with vicious oncoming attacks. Although the Jedi were trained to handle these sort of attacks, most people who fight with hate and anger are generally off balance, making it easier to defeat. But this was different with Desric.
Although his attacks were oncoming with anger and hate, they were coming toward her with precision and accuracy. He was not a typical brute that wage war against the republic. He was a trained warrior, whose tactics almost surpass even the Jedi.
While the two fought, both Desric and Shaak Ti managed to lock blades with one another before Desric managed to give a full round house kick directly to her face, causing Shaak Ti to stumble back into an oncoming train. With her headtails at the edge of touching the train moving at high speed, another train moves beside them as well, locking the two in a tight space.
Desric attempts to slash and stab at the Jedi Master, but as he does so, Shaak Ti manages to avoid most of the attacks before watching Desric's blades hit the side of each train that was moving, creating sparks as they fought against one another. But as they foughtDesric saw a train heading straight for them, and immediately jumps out of the way before Shaak Ti jumps as well.
When the Torgrutan Jedi lands on the other side of the train, she sees an assassin running straight for her, and slashes down at her. However the Jedi manages to block a few several attacks before cutting off his robotic limbs right in front of her. With that assassin taken care of, she looks forward and sees another assassin heading straight for her.
Tired and almost out of energy, Shaak Ti uses the force to push some of the robotic limbs at the assassin before an oncoming train runs him over to quickly finish the job.
Across the station, both the Ithorian and the Talz Jedi continue to fend off several assassins, while also protecting the Chancellor as well. Seeing that they cannot handle these assassin on their own, the Ithorian Jedi manages to leap over to his friend who was protecting the chancellor and manages to cut an assassin in half.
With the Chancellor safe for now, the two Jedi are relieved that at least they gotten rid of some of the assassins. The Talz Jedi speaks to the Ithorian with his alien-like language, thanking his Ithorinan friend for his help.
Palpatine takes part in this conversation. "Yes, brilliant work. Master Yoda would be proud."
A moment later, Shaak Ti is able to rejoin with the group as she jumps over an oncoming train to meet them. "Quick! We have to leave!"
In a split second, the train passes by and Desric pops up behind the Jedi, striking fear into their hearts. Suddenly the Jedi felt cornered as Desric walked toward them with his two black sabers and takes a step closer to the Jedi, forcing them to take a step back.
As Desric moved closer, he blocks several of the Jedi's attacks and manages quickly kick them both to the side before focusing his attention to Shaak Ti and the Chancellor who was hiding behind her.
Facing a great threat, Shaak Ti holds onto her saber tight and is ready for whatever tricks Desric had up his sleeve.
As Desric approaches her, he stands tall and has his helmet slide above his face to show the Jedi the face of the man that was going to give her a slow and painful death. "And so the hunt ends. A valiant effort, but as you can see ultimately futile…"
"So tell me…Jedi. How now shall you challenge me?" As Desric talked to Shaak Ti, Chancellor Palpatine noticed that Shaak Ti was using the force to quietly tie one of Desric's Grappling hooks onto a nearby train. "You have nothing left…but your death."
"I don't think so…" Shaak Ti said before she activated the train and Desric was suddenly pulled away form the Jedi and Chancellor and was sent to who knows where.
Impressed by Shaak Ti's intellect, the Chancellor is relieved that the threat has been taken care of. "Excellent work Master Jedi."
"Hurry! We need to reach the bunker!" Shaak Ti said to everyone before they all ran out of the subway station. But as they made their escape, they had forgotten that two assassins survived the fight. The Jedi may have gotten the best of them now, but soon they will meet their demise.
The Jedi may have gotten rid of Desric for now, but the hunt is still not over. That's gonna be it for this chapter everyone, so what did you all think? Do you think the Jedi can fend off the assassins long enough for them to win this battle? Will Desric come back with a vengeance? All will be answered in next weeks chapter.
