Harry Potter and the Clone Wars
Chapter 2: Where Are We?
They stared in a mix of horror and amazement. The huge battle before them was crazy, robots of some kind blasting lasers at other robots along with a mix of men in white suits. Strange ships flew around the battle field firing a deadly green laser around sending chunks of scattered sand and crumbled earth into the air alongside random bodies and robot parts. The thing that caught their eyes was the men and few women and creatures with a glowing sword like weapon.
They made a short buzzing sound with every movement its wielder forced it to do. "What is this place?" Ron stammered and gulped deeply. He got no answer the battle had entrance them.
"Whatever it is it ain't got nothing to do with Hogwarts or Harry's parents." Ron added trying to spark a conversation but to no avail they stood for minutes on end watching the intense battle before them.
"How could this had happened?" Hermione asked finally breaking the silence.
"I turned it just like you did to the right." Harry responded not taking his eyes off the fight.
"TO THE RIGHT!?" Hermione nearly leapt from her skin. "You fool left is the past right is the future!" she screamed.
Harry looked shocked. "Why didn't you tell me this before I send us almost 14 years into the future?" Hermione looked away.
"Uh guys." Ron murmured.
"Not now Ron." Harry said.
"But how could things change this much in 14 years even with magic?" Hermione questioned nobody. Harry looked puzzled.
"Do you think maybe somehow we jumped dimensions or something?" he said.
"I don't know but who cares lets turn the turner and go back I've seen enough violence for one day." Hermione said flipping her busy hair out of her face.
"Guys." Ron whimpered.
"What is it Ron?" Harry asked annoyed. He pointed to the group of robots surrounding them.
"Uh oh." Harry muttered. He pulled his wand out. "Expecto Patronum!" he shouted sending a stag from his wand. It meanly tapped the robot and went away having no dementor to attack.
Hermione pointed her wand. "Arynia Egsumay!" the spell bounced off having no effect.
"Rictor shimpra!" Harry shouted sending a blasting charm into one of the robots again having no effect. "I'm all out of ideas." He said swallowing hard. Ron started to cry slightly as the robots began to close in on them.
One of the ships flew over the young wizards. "Sir." The pilot said.
"Yes?" a black man appeared by the seat.
"A group of droids are attacking children down there. We can't get a clean shot without hurting the children." The man nodded and leapt from the open side of the ship.
"What are we going to do?" Hermione asked fearfully.
"Who is that?" Harry said looking at a distant figure coming closer. The figure leapt into the air and came down driving a green glowing sword through a robot. He quickly sent another flying backwards with a wave of his hand. The three ran for cover watching the man block laser shots and slaughter them all.
"He does magic." Ron said breathing a sigh of relief. "You saw him destroy that robot with the wave of his hand."
"Maybe we are in the future. Maybe those glowing swords are an advanced model of wands or something." Hermione said. Harry nodded not knowing what to say. The man finished the last robot and the green beam on the sword shrunk until it was completely gone. He looked around and began to run towards them.
"Bloody good job with those robots." Ron said to him.
"Robots?" you mean droids? You're not from this planet are you?" the man asked. They humped their shoulders.
"Who are you?" Harry questioned. The man looked up and saw more droids running forward.
"No time c'mon all will be reviled in time." He said quickly.
He waved his hand and the ship swooped around and landed. "Get in." he instructed them. They hesitantly climbed into the ship and grabbed the safety handles. The druids fired several shots the man blocked them and jumped into the ship. It took off flying over the battlefield.
Hermione looked out over the horrible devastation the battle was causing. Bodies lay strewn in unorthodox positions. Legs, arms, heads, dead droids, creatures, shiny light sword people all lay murdered at the hands of someone. War was pointless in her eyes all it did was destroy lives and destroy land.
"It's horrible." She finally said in a sad whisper.
Harry nodded. "Why are they fighting?" he asked.
The man looked at them for a moment. "It's the start of the Clone Wars." He responded.
"The what?" all three of them said in unison.
"You're really not from here. Where have you been the past three years?" the man asked
"At Hogwarts." Ron replied.
"Hog what?" the man asked.
"Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft," Hermione said properly.
The man nodded his head. "I'm taking you to see Master Yoda he'll know what to do." The man then began to watch the battle below him and said nothing for the rest of the long ride.
The man led them through a pair of sliding doors and into a crystal like hallway. The area was covered in a shiny waxy seal that made every inch of garnet and stone in the building show your reflection. It was like walking though a blurry version of a hall of mirrors. Creatures speaking strange languages were all around them talking and conversation like they weren't weird looking. Talking like it was natural for strange creatures to be standing around and holding a decent conversation with other humans and creatures.
The man stopped and bowed to a female being accompanied by a tall dirty blonde haired man with a robotic arm. The man looked up and smiled. "Ah young Skywalker and Amidala back from you honeymoon so early?" the man asked.
"We had to Master Windu." Amidala began. "Anakin couldn't be away from the battles here on Coruscant."
Master Windu smiled. "Please call me Mace." He said.
Amidala smiled and notice Hermione Ron and Harry. "Who are these children?" She said a look or surprise on her face. "Not yours I hope." She added.
Mace Windu chuckled. "No I found them on the battlefield. They were being attacked by droids we rescued them. I'm taking them to see Master Yoda."
"Is that wise?" Anakin spoke up; he had a worried look on his face. "They could be working for Count Dooku."
Amidala elbowed him in the side. "Their children Anne they pose no threat." She said as she walked forward to introduce herself.
She extended her hand to Ron and bowed. "I am Padme Amidala Senator of the Galactic Senate." Ron kissed her hand politely this made Hermione look rather sour.
"I'm Ronald Weasly, but everybody calls me Ron." He said blushing.
She moved to Harry next. "And you are?" she asked him.
Harry was nervous. "H-Harry Potter." He stammered out.
"Hello Harry Potter." She responded and moved to Hermione last.
"Hello young lady." She extended her hand.
Hermione took it carefully. "I am Hermione Granger hello Padme Amidala." She said in the sweetest voice she could muster.
Anakin let his robotic hand slide slowly to Ron who took it reluctantly. "What happened to you arm Mr. Skywalker?" he asked in a childish way. Anakin pulled his arm back quickly with a disgusted grimace on his face.
"You should learn to mind your own business and not ask question's that are none of your concern," he snapped.
"Anne!" Padme shouted. "He is just a curious child." Ron looked hurt.
"He lost it in a battle a few months ago. This planet, well nearly the whole galaxy is in war right now." she told them. Mace Windu held his hand up.
"We must be going now." he said coldly. Padme knew she had told them something he didn't want them to know. She nodded her head and Mace led them forward and down a hallway towards a strange elevator like machine.
They stepped inside and a creature was inside already. He spoke a strange language that sounded like he was clicking his tongue over and over and farting in between breaths. Ron snickered and Hermione stepped on his foot making him stop. "Top floor." Mace responded to the creature's strange language. The creature pressed the button marked with a strange symbol.
Harry leaned towards Hermione. "This is really creepy." She nodded in agreement. After a second the elevator shot up with a tremendous speed nearly sending the young wizards to the floor if not for the safety rails. Mace grinned as he kept his balance perfectly without a stumble. Another second later it clicked to a stop and the creature began to exit muttering some more click language over his shoulder.
"Same to you my friend." Mace responded.
"Why does he talk like that?" Ron asked.
"He is from Nal Hutta that is their language." He responded. A second later they began to exit the elevator and walked down a long grayish crystal hallway. Several men were lined up along the walls. A doorway was at the end of the hallway. It slid open as Mace approached it. He entered and stood to the side. He bowed to an ugly short green creature that reminded Harry of Dobby only plumped and with gray hair that seemed to drag off the back of his head.
"Master Yoda." Mace Windu said in respect he then bowed to a man with a bushy beard that bowed back to him. "Obi-Wan." He said to the man. They figured it was his name.
"I am glad to see you Master Windu we have urgent business to discuss. The Sith-
"Before we begin speaking about that there are some children I wish to speak to Master Yoda about." Mace interrupted Obi-Wan.
"Children?" Yoda murmured in a crusty dried out tone. "Who are these children?" Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked from behind Mace carefully. "Aw children I see what is it?" Yoda asked.
"They were found on the battlefield sir being attacked by droids. I saved them and brought them here." Mace began.
"The strange thing is they have no memory of anything from the past three years. They seem to believe they have been on some planet called Hogwarts for three years and somehow having not heard of the Clone Wars or anything for that matter." Mace began.
Yoda nodded his wrinkled old head. "I see, I see." He mumbled, and held out his hand.
"Come here children." He said softly. They hesitantly walked towards the creature and stood in a line. "You will tell me everything." He waves his hand over all of their faces and using the force placed them in some kind of Jedi mind trick. They snapped to attention and their eyes became pale blue with no other color. Harry began to speak.
"When I got my first Letter from Hogwarts at the beginning of the first year." He began to tell them the story of his life. From how he saved Sorcerers Stone all the way up till now. When he finished almost five hours had passed Yoda nodded his head slightly and looked at Mace and Obi- Wan.
"They do not work for the Sith, that they don't. But this one," He pointed at Harry. "Strong the force is with him. Strong with them all it is, but stronger still with him."
"What do you propose we do Master?" Obi-Wan asked him.
Yoda thought for a moment. "Assist in the Clone Wars they will." He began. "We will train them in the ways of the Jedi." Both Obi-Wan and Mace Windu looked shocked beyond belief.
"Master are you all right." Mace asked. "We don't even know who they are."
"We do, that we do. Told us did he not?" Yoda said slightly gesturing to Harry. Mace nodded in agreement. "Well then train them you will." He pointed to Mace.
"Train them? But Master." He pleaded.
"No butts sit in the temple you do now pass on you knowledge you will. Busy with Anakin Obi-Wan is so up to you it is." Mace grimaced and bowed.
Yoda waved his hand over their faces and brought them back to normal. They shook themselves and looked around. "Excuse me sir what is it you did to us?" Harry asked.
"None of your concern that is, rest you must big day tomorrow is for all of you." Yoda responded with a sly grin. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other fearfully. Mace led them out the door but Yoda summoned him back in once they were out.
"Master Windu careful you must be. The force is strong in that one." He said making an image of Harry appear. "He has the mark of the chosen one." The images hair blew up showing Harry's lightning scar on his forehead.
Obi-Wan stared with amazement. "The chosen one." He mumbled. Mace nodded with improvement and turned to leave.
"Remember be careful you must." Yoda said as the doors closed. Harry, Ron and Hermione were waiting by the elevator.
"We should have run." Ron said hurriedly.
"We don't know how to work the elevator." Hermione reminded them.
"Even if you had of run you wouldn't get far. I can sense you." Mace said pressing a button on the elevator. "You are to come and sleep at my home for tonight. Tomorrow you will begin your Jedi training." The elevator door closed and blocked the shocked faces off Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
