Hey, y'all, what's up? Hope everyone had a wonderful Star Wars Day, and I see that several of you have read my first Ranma/Star Wars Rebels story. I noticed that there were mostly complaints about it being a 'pity fic', as some have called it. However, that is not the case for this story. But I'll get to that later. Right now, you're about to see just what kind of craziness is about to go down between the Jedi and the Plumbers in this chapter, so strap in and enjoy.

*I still don't own Ben 10 or Star Wars: The Clone Wars!*

An Ancient Relic - The Plumbers Begin Their Assault!

"Remember, Benjamin, when using the Form IV style of combat, you need to keep moving. Fluid motion. One movement into the next, into the next, and so on." Luminara instructed.

She had been lightly tossing tin cans at Ben for Lightsaber practice for some time now, but they weren't making much progress in deflecting yet. Out of twenty cans, so far, Ben has only been able to deflect two before he was pretty much pelted by the things.

And she just knew he was going to have a few nasty bruises because of it. Having less meat on your bones makes you less durable that way. But the young Zabrak was not about to quit just because things were getting hard, and that's something the Mirialan Jedi likes about Ben. He wants to be pushed beyond his limits. He WANTS to be told when he's doing something wrong so he can correct his form and do it right.

It's something quite rare in most younglings, because they normally don't want to admit when they're wrong. The same can be said about most teens and young adults. But not Ben. No, when he does something wrong, he wants people to tell him what he's doing wrong so he can try and correct himself and get it done the right way.

As proven by how Luminara is gently instructing him on how to perform the basic steps for the Form IV Lightsaber techniques.

"Okay, but how do you perform the movements for Form IV?" Ben asked.

"Hand me my Lightsaber, and I will show you how." Luminara instructed.

Ben handed the weapon back to its owner, and after adjusting the blade length to suit her height, Luminara began to go through the movements for the Lightsaber style in question. All the while, she was deflecting low powered Blaster Bolts from a Probe Droid that was hovering a little ways back.

"One! Two! Three! Pivot! Four! Five! Six! Repeat!" Luminara chanted as she went through the movements.

Ben watched in awe as the older and more experienced Jedi seemed to just flow through the movements as if they came naturally to her. Like a river over stone. By the time she was done, she looked back down at Ben, who once again had anime stars in his eyes.

"Remember, youngling, practice these exercises mindfully, and you will see improvement. I promise." she said with a smile.

Ben looked ready to try again, but his eyes found themselves looking at something else. Something that didn't quite belong in a cargo bay.

"Master, what's that?" Ben asked.

"What's what?" Luminara asked in return.

Ben pointed to where he saw the item and the older woman followed his line of sight. Her eyes widened at what she was seeing.

Sitting there on some sort of hidden shrine was what looked like a Lightsaber hilt, but of an older and slightly more archaic design. The hilt itself sort of resembled those of old Knights from medieval times back on Earth. Crusader Swords, if we're talking specifics. This Lightsaber's hilt was all black, and it had two vents on the sides with a decorative 'scorpion stinger' prong. One vent had one above, and the other had one below.

It was clearly ancient, but it still radiated great power and what felt like near limitless Force energy. Ben and Luminara walked closer to the shrine as they examined the ancient hilt with awe from Ben, and slight fear from Luminara.

"Is that a Lightsaber?" asked the young Zabrak.

"It is. I know it is, but I can't shake this uneasy feeling I'm feeling. It's like I can sense a very dark power… an evil power… coming from within that Lightsaber." Luminara replied.

Ben looked to the Mirialan master than back to the odd Lightsaber on the shrine and raised a nonexistent eyebrow at the strange looking weapon. It didn't seem so evil to him, and yet she seemed to sense something far greater than just the weapon itself. Maybe it's because she has a much deeper understanding of the Force than he does?

But this still left one question to the young Zabrak.

"Why would they have such a weapon stored on this ship if it's so dangerous?" he asked.

"I don't know. But I intend to find out." Luminara replied. "Come, Ben. And bring that Lightsaber with you. We must find Shaak Ti and the other Jedi so that we may convene with the rest of the Council and tell them about our finding."

With that, she began to walk out of the cargo hold while Ben used the Force to bring the odd Lightsaber to him. Once the hilt of this blade landed in his hand, he felt a pulse flow into him from the weapon and the Force. He felt a sort of primal, burning fury pulsating within the hilt. And he doesn't understand why.

But he had no more time to waste. He has to catch up with Luminara, as he saw that she was further down the hall than he was. He began running as fast as his new legs could carry him. Which is actually much faster than he thought possible.

"HEY, WAIT FOR ME!" he called after the master.

*With the Plumbers…*

On the main battle cruiser of the Plumbers fleet, Max was going over the plan of attack for the team that would be boarding the Republic battleship. He was going over the final details of the attack.

"...The Alpha Team will charge at them from the front while the Omega Team circles around to attack from the rear. Gold and Bronze Teams will try to cut around to either side and try to cut off their ammunitions supplies and take out any on board defenses. That's the key. Once we have them surrounded, Gwen will charge in as one of her stronger aliens and take out the Jedi so we can retrieve Ben and bring him home. Make sure your Plasma Cannons are charged, and set your pistols to stun should Ben decide not to come back willingly. Any questions?"

At first, it seemed like no one had any questions for the elderly Magister of the Plumbers. That would make things a lot easier for them all, as it means that they understand the plan. That is, until Hobble raised his hand.

"Yes, Hobble?"

"What if the Jedi back on Coruscant send in reinforcements? I mean, I know that with all our numbers and tech, we can take on four Jedi, but if they send reinforcements?" he asked.

"That's actually a very good question, Hobble. If they send in reinforcements, then we'll have no choice but to retreat. Whether we have Ben back with us or not." Max replied. "Now, prepare for battle, boys and girls! We got red light!"

The Plumbers began to mobilize at a breakneck pace. Each one grabbed weapons and earpiece communicators, but some of them moved to the smaller attack vessels to engage in intergalactic dogfights.

"Trainee Blonko, your com's got static." said a Tetramand Plumber.

The young Revonnahgander tapped his communicator a couple of times and the static went away.

"Got it." he said.

As everyone checked their weapons, Gwen began to select the alien that she would use to bring her cousin back home. She thought about using Four Arms or Cannonbolt, but she felt that those would be too predictable. After all, during their roadtrip with their grandfather, Ben has seen her fight as those two aliens many times before.

Therefore, he knows their abilities and their limits inside and out. Thus, he could tell the Jedi how to beat her in those forms, and then the mission would be a failure because of her. So, she turned the dial to a new alien that she saw was unlocked and prayed that it would help.

"This is it, boys and girls. No turning back now." Gwen said.

As the light turned green, the first wave of ships launched and their green plasma bolts were fired at the slightly larger ship. The battle of the Plumbers and the Jedi has begun!

*Back on the ship…*

Luminara and the other Jedi were now gathered in front of a holo communication desk as they waited for a signal to get through to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Ben was now standing next to Shaak Ti, the strange Lightsaber he found still held in his hands, waiting for the signal to go through. He looked at the passing stars as he waited, mentally mapping out the stars that made up several constellations he knows about.

'There's Cancer, the crab. That one's the dragon, Draco. And that's a White Dwarf.'

His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of an elderly voice that sounded like someone was talking over a radio.

"Masters Unduli and Shaak Ti. Good to hear from you both, it is. Found and healed the youngling, have you?"

Ben looked up to see hologram images of two people on the table. One of them was an intimidating looking bald man, and the other was, for lack of better term, an elderly troll or imp.

"Yes, Master Yoda. He is right here with us. And he has found a rather unusual Lightsaber hilt in the cargo hold on this ship." Shaak Ti replied.

Nervously, Ben made himself known to the two holographic Jedi Masters. He awkwardly bowed to them as he introduced himself, not really knowing what sort of protocol applied in this particular situation.

"Hello, Masters. My name is Ben Tennyson. Although, I don't really think of myself as a Tennyson anymore."

Sensing the youngling's nervousness even through the holograms, Master Windu offered a rare, reassuring grin to the young lad. He understood the boy was nervous, and didn't want a child who possessed such strength in the Force to feel alienated from possible future peers.

"There's no need to be nervous, Ben. No one's going to harm you. I am Mace Windu, and this is Master Yoda. We are also Jedi Masters who are members of the Jedi High Council. Now tell us, what is is about this Lightsaber Hilt you found that makes it so unusual?"

"I don't know, Master Windu. But when I found it, Master Luminara said that she could sense a dark and evil feeling from the hilt. And when I picked it up, I felt this powerful pulse of primal fury coming from the inside of the blade." Ben explained.

Yoda hummed as he pondered this new information. If what this child was saying is true, then this blade could only belong to one person.

"See this blade, may we?" Yoda asked.

Ben nodded and held the Lightsaber out to the holograms so they could get a closer look at the blade. If they were shocked, they sure did a very good job at hiding it.

"Hmm. Recognize that Lightsaber, I do. Seen it many times, when just a Knight, I have." Yoda said. "Belonged to a powerful Sith Lord, that Lightsaber once did. Why it was on your ship, and not in the temple, I do not know. Be wary of that weapon, you must."

"I agree. I remember reading about such a weapon in the Temple Archives back when I myself was a Padawan. It belonged to a Sith Lord known as Darth Nox. She was a mighty Sith Sorcerer who was strong in the ways of Force Lightning and specialized in the Lightsaber form known as Makashi. She constructed that Lightsaber using the Lightsaber that belonged to her ancestor, Lord Kallig, as the base. It was modified to use a more powerful crystal as a power source while adding those two vents on the sides to redirect the excess power in the form of two additional blades that were made to protect the user's hands from direct attack. Though cumbersome to use when using two Lightsabers at once, that blade's design makes it the perfect duelist's blade, and it has been the downfall of many a Jedi in the days of the Old Republic." Mace explained.

"I don't know, master. Is the weapon really a tool of evil just because of the one who used it before?" Ben asked. "I mean, it was Darth Nox who killed all those Jedi in the past. She may have used this Lightsaber to kill them, but that doesn't mean the weapon is evil, does it?"

"Very insightful, your question is, youngling. A question that have the answer to, I do not yet. Hold onto that Lightsaber, you must. Keep it safe." Yoda instructed.

"Yes, master." said Ben.

He placed the Lightsaber on his belt so he would have it on him at all times, but before anything else could be said, the ship began to shake as explosions could be heard from outside.

"What was that?!" yelped Ben.

"I don't know. Hold on." Shaak replied.

She pushed a button on the communicator and pulled up another hologram of a Clone Trooper.

"Trooper, what's going on?" she asked.

"General! We're under attack, sir! Those Plumbers have struck and they're trying to board the ship!" he explained.

"Plumbers?! That ain't good. I guess they don't want the Jedi to get me into the order." Ben said. "Try to hold them off as long as you can, Trooper! We're on our way!"

"Will do, kid!" the Trooper said as he cut the feed.

Master Windu and Yoda reappeared and Ben stood to face them, waiting for orders. The two masters over the hologram could easily tell that the youngling wanted to help defend the ship and everyone on it, and they respected that. But they weren't so sure if they should send an inexperienced child into battle like this.

After all, he's not even a Padawan yet. And it seems like Ben could read their thoughts on this matter.

"Masters, if I don't go out there and help those troops out, they'll be slaughtered! Especially if they go up against Gwen and her Omnitrix! I've seen those Plumbers fight, and I know all of Gwen's aliens by heart! I've memorized their attack patterns, their strategies, and all of the strengths and weaknesses of all of Gwen's current aliens! Please… I want to help!"

Yoda and Mace stared at Ben for what felt like an eternity to the child, silently debating whether or not they should let him fight in something this dangerous with none of the necessary training. Finally, Yoda spoke up.

"Help the troops on the ship, you will, Ben Tennyson. Go with you, Masters Shaak Ti and Luminara will. Let these Plumbers win, you must not." Yoda instructed.

"Try to hold out as long as possible. We will send reinforcements to your coordinates at once." Mace added.

With that, the holograms fizzled out while Ben wasted no time in moving to the door in order to go and help those troops before it was too late. He was stopped by a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Shaak looking at him with some hesitance in her eyes.

"Are you absolutely sure you wish to do this, Ben?" she asked. "Once you are in the midst of battle, there will be no turning back."

Ben's determination did not waver. His eyes told the Jedi woman all she needed to know. He's not going to back down. Not going to allow any of those troops to die! She too grew determined and nodded as she, Ben and Luminara raced out of the room to the aid of the troops. It seems like the battle of Plumbers and Jedi has begun.
