Ch. 4: Battles, Dates, and Visions
A/N: You might want to reread chapters 1-3 before you read this one, otherwise you won't understand what's going on.
(In the middle of a field on the planet of Dantooine, a battle has been wagging between clones and droids, laser fire was everywhere, and destroying anything in their deadly path, and at first it seemed like the clones were about to wiped out, but two figures jumped high in the air and landed in the middle of the droid armies, each holding lightsabers, one purple and one yellow, and the two ran through the droids slicing them down and using the Force to blow them away, the Jedi were Master Mace Windu and his padawan Tal Ordo, both using the Vaapad fighting style, a form that requires for a Jedi to take his or her aggressions and turn them into a fighting style. Tal Ordo was a strange Jedi, and not just because he was also a Mandalorian, but the lightsaber wasn't his only weapon, with him he had two blaster pistols capable of alternating between disruptor fire to laser fire. He also carried two detpacks similar to what the Republic Commandos use, and back at the Jedi Temple, Tal has been secretly working on his own combat assistance droid, and it was a IG-100 Battle Droid, also know as a MagnaGuard, whose original purpose was to protect General Grievous, the Droid General of the CIS. Tal received the schematics from Delta Commando Fixer, who sliced the CIS mainframe and found the pans for every droid in the CIS army. The only people who knew of Tal's droid was his master, Master Yoda, and his secret girlfriend Ahsoka Tano. During the battle, Tal and Mace stood back to back deflecting laser fire while Tal got out one of his pistols and began blasting the droids. The two Jedi then jumped up in the air again and when they landed, they again destroyed droids until a giant shadow cast over both armies, and they all looked up to see a weapon known as a seismic hammer.)
Tal: One thing's for sure, we're all going to be a lot thinner.
(The weapon stopped right above both armies, and suddenly, the giant hammer quickly fell, crushing both clones and droids, and the accruing shock wave made a giant crater made the surviving soldiers be buried in and dirt, except for Tal and Mace who slid down the inclined wall of dirt until they jumped out of the hole and landed in the middle of the droid forces and they continued their attack. Meanwhile, Ahsoka was walking around the temple when she walked by the war room and heard Masters Yoda and Ki Adi Mundi talking about their current position in the war.)
Mundi: We have lost all contact with Master Windu's forces on Dantooine, and witnesses to the battle have claimed to see a giant weapon whose description matches that of the Separatists Seismic Hammer. And they are to far away to sense if they're alive, and I'm afraid we can only fear the worst.
(Ahsoka immediately began to cry and ran to her room and cried on her pillow at hearing that Tal might be dead, and she tried to sense if Tal was alive, but she wasn't strong enough, and that made her cry even harder. Ahsoka cried for over an hour, making sure no one sensed her depression or heard her crying.)
Ahsoka: Tal can't be dead! He just can't! He's stronger then that!
(Ahsoka continued to cry, and meanwhile Tal and Mace were forced to destroy the droids with their bare hands, since the second attack from the seismic hammer made them lose their weapons. Tal continuously punched the armor of Super Battle Droids, and on one of them, he jumped on top of one of the droids, punched his hand through the armor and took the wires in his hands and took control of the droid, using it's wrist blasters to blast the droids. After a few minutes, Tal jumped off the droid and began joining his master in destroying more droids, and while doing a Force Push, something happened. Lightning came out of Tal's hand and it fried the circuits of every droid caught in the arc. Windu of course noticed it, but this wasn't the time to talk to him about it, because the seismic hammer caused another quake, and while being sent flying, Windu saw his and Tal's lightsabers and Tal's pistols, and used the Force to grab them, and threw Tal his weapons and they immediately began destroying droids the easy way, and they used the Force to jump onto the weapon and cut their way through the armor with their lightsabers and were greeted by hundreds of Battle Droids, and they cut their way through the droid until they reached the bridge, they destroyed the droids, and soon after, Mace began slashing the controls while Tal got out two of his detpacks and set the explosives, and right after Tal pressed the remote, he and Mace jumped out the window as the seismic hammer fell to the ground. Back at the temple, Ahsoka's eyes were bloodshot from crying for over an hour, and she walked back to the war room and saw that Plo was still in there.)
Ahsoka: Master Plo?
Plo: What's wrong little 'Soka?
Ahsoka: I heard that Tal and Master Windu were likely killed on Dantooine. Is it true?
Plo: On the contrary, we have just received word from Master Windu that he and Tal have successfully destroyed the droid forces on Dantooine and are on their way back.
Ahsoka: Good.
Plo: Tal is one of your oldest friends correct?
Ahsoka: Yes, he was the first friend I made here at the temple.
Plo: Indeed.
(Ahsoka just smiled and walked away, but on the inside, she was jumping for joy and waited for Tal to come back. And later that night, Tal walked into his room and was actually surprised by Ahsoka tackling him onto the bed and planting a big kiss on his lips, which he returned when he saw who it was. And after a few minutes, Ahsoka and Tal broke the kiss and Ahsoka just lay on top of him with her head on his chest, and Tal could actually see tears on her cheeks.)
Tal: What's wrong Ahs'ika?
Ahsoka: I heard that you were most likely dead on Dantooine!
Tal: I'm alright.
Ahsoka: Tal, I love you, and you have no idea how much I cried when I heard what the masters said. I died on the inside.
Tal: Ahs'ika, I'm not just a Jedi, I'm a Mandalorian Warrior, and you know how hard it is to kill a Mandalorian Warrior.
Ahsoka: You know just as well as I do that Mandalorian's Warriors are not invincible.
Tal: Well, let's get off subject, you know, we've been a couple for a couple of months now, but we've never gone out on an actual date.
Ahsoka: Tal, you know we can't leave the Temple!
Tal: Who said we had to tell anyone? Just meet me at this restaurant in an hour, I'll meet you soon, I have to explain about what I did on Dantooine.
Ahsoka: What did you do?
Tal: Oh… just accidentally hit some droids with Force Lightning.
Ahsoka: What?!
Tal: Bye, love you.
(Tal ran out the door, leaving Ahsoka confused, but she just pushed it away and looked at the note he gave her and it was a map to a restaurant that served Mandalorian foods, and it was called Mando'ade Tracinya which according to Ahsoka's moderate expertise in Mando'a translation meant "Mandalorian Flame". So she got her cloak to cover her identity, and secretly left the temple, and after Tal finished with the Council, he went to the restaurant and found that Ahsoka was sitting at a table drinking water and waiting for him, so he walked over and took a seat.)
Ahsoka: So what did the Council say?
Tal: Well, first they asked where I learned Force Lightning, and I said nowhere, I just tried to use a Force Push, but instead, lightning came out. I heard Master Fisto mention that it's not unknown for a Jedi to accidentally learn a Force technique, and Master Yoda said that I must be careful with this newfound power I have, otherwise it'll leave me to the "Dark Side".
Ahsoka: What? You don't believe him?
Tal: I don't believe there is a Light Side or a Dark Side; it all depends on how you use your power.
Ahsoka: But…
Waiter: Welcome to the Mando'ade Tracinya, what would you like to drink?
Tal: Uhh, we'd like a cup of Shig.
Waiter: Very well, and are you ready to order you main course, or do you need a few more minutes.
Tal: Give us a few minutes.
Waiter: Very well.
Ahsoka: These waiters aren't actual Mandalorian's are they?
Tal: What gave it away?
Ahsoka: The politeness.
(Tal just shot Ahsoka a look and she smiled in return and continued to look at her menu, and asking Tal about various dishes, and after a few minutes, the waiter came back.)
Waiter: Are we ready to order?
Ahsoka: Yes, I'd like the Gi Dumpling Soup.
Tal: And I'd like the Red Gourd Soup.
Waiter: Very well, you're meal will be here in a few minutes.
(A few minutes later, Tal and Ahsoka's food arrived and they began eating, and to Tal's surprise, Ahsoka handled the food quite well, considering that the soup held all four qualities of Mandalorian Cuisine. After dinner, they each had a slice of Uj cake, which was to Ahsoka's surprise sweet, and after they finished dessert, they snuck back into the Temple and told each other good night before going to their own room, and later that night, Tal had a vision, it took place eight years into the future, he saw himself, Ahsoka, their daughter from his vision from before, a blue Twi'lek, and two twin boys, one a Togruta and another a human, and beside from being different species, they looked exactly alike. They were all on the planet of Mandalore, Tal's home planet, and Tal smiled at what was obviously his future family, and he knew the Twi'lek was adopted due to the tattoos on her lekku that were the same as his daughters. He continued to watch his family until they disappeared and was replaced by the light of Coruscant's sun waking him. He then got dressed and went to the cafeteria and heard some of the padawan's talking about Gadon Thek's disappearance, and the only thing Tal had to say to that, he said to himself.)
Tal: Good riddance.
(After Tal finished his breakfast, he decided to work on K1L-R, who was about half way done, most of his wiring and parts were put together, all that was left was to put his armor on and he'd be ready, and after a few hours of working, all of K1L-R's armor was put on and Tal added one last feature; an assassination protocol program, something only Tal knew about and made sure K1L-R also known as Killer didn't speak of it for everyone to hear. Tal then pressed in the code to activate K1 and his red eyes glowed to life.)
K1: Greetings, I am K1L-R, may I eliminate something for you master?
Tal: Negative Killer, I'm just getting ready to start a performance diagnostics.
K1: But master, I can tell you that I am performing at one-hundred percent performance.
Tal: I'm sure you are, but better be safe than sorry. Let's start with your personal cloaking field.
(K1 nodded and a few seconds later, he disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later, and after an hour of performing the other tests, Tal had K1 go to Mace Windu's flagship and wait for their next assignment. Tal looked out his window and saw that it was surprisingly night fall, and Tal went to sleep, waiting for him and his master to be sent on another assignment.)
