Hey Guys, since it's the weekend I'll update another chapter onto here!! Sorry about Master Yoda, but with all the other Jedi alive he doesn't really need to be in it. Well it looks like this chapter will finally have a battle in it!! I think I'll work a little more with the characters as well
Chapter 4: Jedi Regrouping.
Commander Thire looked up and immediately saw the two Jedi who had walked out of the Chancellor's office. "Jedi, surrender to the might of the Republic! Perhaps the Senate will allow you to live. I am only doing so because you are at the Chancellor's office."
"You're allowing us to live. Wow. What a pleasure this is." Anakin started laughing after he spoke.
"I don't believe we will surrender Commander. We are not like clones because we don't follow every order we are given." Shaak Ti's eyes narrowed.
Thire gestured at his troops. "Then I shall execute my orders! Goodbye traitors. I hope you –"
The rest of Thire's words were drowned out by two snap hisses as two blue lightsabers burst into existence. Anakin and Shaak Ti jumped at the troopers and started striking them down. Anakin cut a trooper right down the middle as Shaak Ti sliced through Commander Thire's helmet, decapitating the clone.
"Let's see how many of these clones we can take down before they get to us!" Anakin's blade was deflecting and moving at the same time getting rid of many clones.
"Are we going to let them get to us?" Shaak Ti gave a mischievous smile and cut down a few more clones as she said that.
However, both Jedi knew that the clones could call for backup and that would back the odds worse for them since they expected no Jedi to come to the rescue.
As soon as the ship touched down Plo Koon knew something was wrong. He could sense the dark side very powerfully in this place. He turned to Aayla for confirmation and she nodded.
"Stay with the ship Aayla. I'm going to check this out and we don't need more Jedi casualties." Plo Koon started down the ship's ramp and walked outside. He had no idea what planet this was so he didn't know what to expect.
"Jedi Master Plo Koon, I would be very interested to learn how you have survived the Purge of all the Jedi. Well no matter, you are going to die now!" Korol activated his lightsaber and sprang towards the Jedi Master.
Plo Koon was shocked. This was Anakin who was attacking him!! The Chosen One had betrayed the Jedi!!! He grabbed his lightsaber and the yellow blade sprang out.
The two blades clashed as the two fighters twirled and spun to keep trying to find a weakness in the other's defense. Plo Koon was a very fierce fighter and so apparently was this Sith.
Soon however, Korol was blocking another attack of Koon's and then he flicked his wrist and disarmed the Jedi.
Aayla Secura watched this with horror!! She sprinted towards the ship door and raced out onto the ground. She immediately used the Force to call Plo Koon's lightsaber to her.
Korol was shocked as the lightsaber flew out of his hand to land in the hand of a Twi'lek female.
That was the minute that Plo Koon needed. Calling on his power, he summoned a dense fog in the area to hide himself and Aayla. He ran back, grabbed Aayla and sprinted onto the ship. He knew that now he had to find the Jedi and warn them that Anakin might be a traitor.
The ship took off as Siri easily piloted the ship away from Utapau. She set the coordinates for Coruscant and sat back in the chair to talk to her friend. "Obi-Wan, you seem to have something big on your mind. Would you care to explain what it is?"
Obi-Wan blinked out of surprise. 'Siri must be able to tell since we have been friends for so long. Well I guess this is the time to talk.' He looked towards her and chose his words carefully. "Siri, I have been thinking about that mission with Talesan Fry. Before you say anything, I want you to know this. I don't care what the Council may decide, but I love you and always will. I went insane that day I thought I had lost you."
"Obi-Wan, I tried to hid my feelings but I guess it didn't work well for me either. I love you too, but I think we should listen to what the Council wants. It is the right thing to do." Siri said this very gently and with a caring look in her eyes.
"Siri, I know it might be the right thing, but we are adults so I think we can work at being Jedi and being a family. I don't want to lose you again! I know that feelings like these can lead to the dark side, but I also know that we can work it out." Obi-Wan took Siri's hands in his own and looked into her eyes.
"Perhaps you are right Obi-Wan. I think we can try to have a relationship. It is what we have wanted since we were younger." Siri grinned and threw her arm around Obi-Wan's shoulder who grinned back.
Suddenly the two Jedi looked out the window to see they had reached Coruscant. Siri got back to piloting and turned the ship towards the Chancellor's Office. She thought there might be something there.
Four hundred clones lay dead at the feet of Anakin Skywalker and Shaak Ti as they continued to kill more troopers that seemingly never stopped coming. The two Jedi were very tired and both had many wounds.
"Come on Master Ti, we only have a few more to go. They can't come forever!" Anakin grimaced from a wound on his thigh.
"Didn't you say that about two hundred clones back? I believe we are very outnumbered here!" Shaak Ti smiled at her own sarcasm and she noticed that Anakin was grinning too. 'At least we won't go down without a fight and we will be smiling as we do!' she thought.
Both Jedi knew that they were almost finished when they saw a star fighter turn around a building and land right near to them. Both of them thought at the same time, 'Now who is this? Some new enemy along with all these clones?'
Then two figures jumped out of the cruiser and landed on the ground. One of them ran at the clones and activated a blazing blue lightsaber, which started cutting clones in its path. The other figure flipped into the air and landed in a group of clones with a purple lightsaber in hand.
Anakin and Shaak Ti looked at each other in wonder and relief. Help had arrived and now they were not going to fall here!
The four Jedi managed to kill the remaining clones before another call for help could be sent out. Then all four just breathed out a sigh of relief.
"You have a lot of explaining to do Anakin!" Obi-Wan said as he removed his hood.
"Master!!! You are alive! I knew the clones could never rid the galaxy of you!" Anakin grabbed his Master's hand and shook it.
"Well they almost did and I owe my life to Siri here. You remember Siri, right Anakin?" Obi-Wan gestured to the other Jedi who finally removed her robe. "Siri, this is Anakin, who you remember, and this is Jedi Master Shaak Ti! It is good to see you Master Ti!"
"You as well Master Kenobi. I take it you have heard of the clone of Anakin who is the new Sith Lord since Palpatine's death?" Shaak Ti said as she shook Siri's hand while Anakin stood in shock looking at Siri.
"Anakin, you could speak instead of just staring at Siri. She wasn't killed that day and someone managed to save her life. Anyways, we must regroup since there are very few Jedi left." Obi-Wan grinned at his friend who still referred to him as Master no matter what he said.
"Alright that seems like a good plan. However, I need to go and check on someone to make sure she was not hurt by Korol." Anakin started to turn away when Obi-Wan laid a hand on his arm.
"Anakin, we are going to go with you to find Padme." Seeing the surprise on Anakin's face, Obi-Wan gave a small smile. "Yes Anakin, I found out she was your wife and I hope your life can be very happy. I am in love with Siri and I guess that makes both of us Code breakers."
"No Obi-Wan, that Jedi Code was very strict for the Old Jedi Order. However, most of the Old Order has fallen so I believe that rule can be relaxed from the Code!" Shaak Ti smiled at Obi-Wan and Siri. She felt very happy for the two of them and for Anakin and Padme. "Well Anakin, let's go save your wife!"
Padme and Bail were in Padme's chambers as she packed all of her belongings. The two senators were going to find any surviving Jedi.
Suddenly, the door was broken down and twenty clones walked into the Apartment and raised their weapons before either senator could grab a blaster.
"You are under arrest for going against Lord Korol!" The lead trooper aimed his blaster at Padme and Bail.
The two senators glanced at each other and then both said at the same time, "Fine, we shall go with you peacefully."
The trooper nodded and then turned around to walk right into Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker who had his arms folded across his chest.
"You will take my wife nowhere!" Anakin moved his hand onto his concealed lightsaber in case these troopers wanted to fight.
Luckily these troopers did not recognize Anakin, but all raised their blasters at him. The lead one spoke again, "You are trying to prevent us from taking these two for questioning, therefore you are under arrest as well."
Anakin jumped into the room landed in front of Padme as Obi-Wan jumped from behind him, landing in front of Bail Organa.
Two blue blades suddenly erupted into the room as the Jedi attacked the troopers. Some of the clones tried to back out of the room but ran into another blue blade and a purple blade.
Soon all of the clones lay dead at the feet of the four Jedi and Padme was in Anakin's arms. She was hugging and kissing her husband, so glad that he was not a Sith.
Bail turned to Obi-Wan. "It is good to see that some of you managed to survive Master Kenobi, since so many Jedi did not survive."
"Thank you Senator Organa. However, I think it is time to leave now! You and Padme must come with us since you are wanted here now." Obi-Wan spoke this calmly even though he was worried. He noticed Siri and Shaak Ti had grabbed Padme's belongings and were ready to leave.
The six of them made their way down to where Siri had parked her cruiser and climbed aboard. Siri let Anakin take the controls and soon the ship was blasting out of Coruscant's atmosphere.
Shaak Ti activated her comlink and sent another message out. "All Jedi that have survived this Purge. We need to regroup to get back at this Sith Lord. Please respond!"
The comlink made a noise and then a voice crackled through, "Well, it is good to hear from Master Ti. This is Plo Koon and with me is Aayla Secura and we were just attacked by this new Sith Lord. It was Anakin Skywalker, he has betrayed us!!!"
Anakin seized his comlink and replied. "Master Koon, this is Anakin. What you fought must have been the clone that Palpatine created of me. I am sorry for this confusion. Where would you care to meet though?"
The reply crackled through a few moments later. "I think Dantooine will be a safe place since the first Jedi used it for the Temple so we can regroup there. We shall meet the rest of you there. May the Force be with you!" The comlink fell silent after this last message.
Anakin set the coordinates for Dantooine and breathed a sigh of relief that his wife was safe and that there were more survivors.
Meanwhile, in the jungle of Kashyyyk, a figure watched as the clones started to try to capture the Wookies. He sighed and stepped into the moonlight. He raised his hand as a signal and Jedi Masters Tholme and T'ra Saa walked up to him along with his wife, Khaleen Hentz. The four renegades looked at the clones with hatred and decided it was time to end this. "The clones will regret not looking for me after they tried to kill me because now they have to deal with Jedi Master Quinlan Vos!"
There you go everyone! Now you know whom that figure was! How about this chapter? I put in some more battles!! By the way, Dantooine was the site of the original Jedi Temple way before the battle of Naboo. Soon I will have to get to the Jedi actually making an attack with the Rebel Alliance. Well I'll update as soon as possible since I go to school tomorrow. May the Force be with you all!
