Chapter 7

An annoying buzzer awoke me from my slumber, I was still the same room as I woke from yesterday. Meaning I was still in this universe. What am I supposed to do today? What do Jedi's even do in the morning? Do they meditate or something? I'm way too impatient to sit in that position for a long period of time. I might as well explore the temple I had seen some nice looking locations from the film and TV series so I wonder where they are? So I got up from my bed and rubbed my eyes to get any gunk out of them and proceeded to walk out of the room. When I walked out I noticed ten hallways were mostly empty, except for one or two Jedi's walking around. I looked left and right to check which way I can walk and explore too. I took a right last time so why not take a left this time? I took small awkward steps through the hallway with my hands in my pockets trying to stay out of sight. Maybe I could find the library? I want to check on this universes history to see which stories are cannon and which aren't. Who knows, this could be an AU.

Maybe I should check the date? It would be nice to know what day it is and what year, it could make keeping track on the time line a lot easier. My wild guess it that I'm in season 1 some where, Ahsoka looks like herself from when she first became Anikan's Padawan. I continued walking down the halls a small messager droid rolled up to me.

"Joel you are needed in the hanger right now"

Huh? What was I need for? I nodded my head and the droid rolled away. But first of all where is the hanger? I looked around the hall way for any indication to where the hanger was but I found nothing. I sighed to myself. Most Jedi here were raised here from birth so they have memorized the place while there's me. Maybe I should just pick a direction and stick to the right wall? I mean technically I would find my way out of here...

Let's try it! I looked to my left and started to run down the hall. Hug the right wall Joe. Hug the right wall...

One hour later

I'm here? But how long did it take? I noticed in the hanger that it was mostly empty but filled with starships of many kinds. Several different colors ranging from blue to red. But standing next to one of the ships was Obi-Wan talking to a girl who seemed to be slightly older than me. The girl had long brown hair with blonde streaks flowing down opposite ends of her eyes. She stood around 6" and looked one year older then me. I approached them nervously. Who was this girl? I've never seen her in the show... Argh! This is all so confusing! Why!?

"Ah Joel you're here" Obi-Wan said. "This is Zeilah Kone, she will act as your guide through your first mission"

"Nice to meet you Joel" Zeilah said. She had a slight British accent but spoke very formally.

"N-nice to meet you too" I replied nervously. "So what's the mission master?"

"Well some scouts on naboo reported seeing a fleet of ships carrying cargo towards naboo, we fear they may have set up a small base on naboo somewhere and we need you two to find it and destroy it" Obi-Wan said.

"But how will get in the base without getting spotted? It's gotta be crawling with separatists" Zeilah asked.

"I will be leading a full frontal assault to distract the separatist inside, leading you two to go in without any trouble" Obi-Wan replied. I nodded my head in understanding. Zeilah didn't look too convinced but she went along with it. "We leave in an hour so you two should get anything that might help you in this mission"

I nodded and turned around to leave the room. At least I memorized the way back to my room. So what should I grab? I need my bag... My lightsaber of course... Maybe some food? I might get hungry but I doubt it. My adrenaline should cover that. Maybe a cloak? I mean I've always wanted to have one and maybe this time it might come in handy! What color tho? Should I pick black? Seems like my color style.

One hour later

I got everything I needed, I wore a black cloak that ran down to my ankles and had a good at the back. My green lightsaber hanged around my belt and I had my back back strapped around my back. I walked down the halls back to hanger to get sent to my first mission. My heart pounded in anticipation but I walked with confidence I needed to survive, I had too much of a future waiting for me. Well at least I think. When I arrived at the hanger it seemed Obi-Wan and Zeilah were already there waiting for me, Obi-Wan wore his usually clothing while Zeilah seemed to be wrapped in a brown cloak but leaving half of her torso exposed. Underneath the cloak she wore a black shirt and a belt around her hip.

"So you two all set?" Obi-Wan asked. I nodded my head and Zeliah shrugged. "You two will take those two star fighters there while I'll take the gunships with the clones"

He pointed towards to two gun ships, one green with black stripes, while the other was yellow with white stripes. I walked towards the green ship while Zeilah walked to the white one.

"We'll land at theses coordinates, then we'll sneak into the base" Zeilah said while handing me a piece of paper with numbers on it.

"Sure"

I hopped into the cockpit and stared at the controls. Um how the hell do I use this? But something strange happened, I lost control of my muscles and they started flipping switches and putting on the headset.

"Ready to go?" I heard Zeilah's voice through the head set.

"Yep" I replied, but it wasn't me who replied. Why am I losing control over my body!? Why is this happening?! My arm started switching more switches and soon The ship started rising from the ground. The hanger opened up to reveal of a couresant. It was a sight to be hold, I know the entire planet was made of cities but it was something to see with your own eyes. The ship took off with intensive speed but it seemed that my body was already used to the speed of the ship. It wasn't long till I hit light speed and we arrived around naboo. I noticed Obi-Wans fleet of gun ships trying to enter the planets atmosphere but the separatists on the ground seemed determined to stop them. Whenever a gunship got destroyed another one got replaced but it seemed they were getting closer to the ground. But this wasn't my battle. I had a mission to complete and I was determined to do it!

"We're entering the atmosphere, we shouldn't have much interference due to Obi-Wan's distraction" Zeilah said through the intercom. We entered the atmosphere and my body seemed to heat up but not by much, it seemed the ship had something to prevent that. We sped up and we soon landed on the ground at the coordinates written on the paper. I made a smooth landing but opening up the landing gear and slowly moving down on the grassy plains of Naboo.

I opened up the cockpit and quickly jumped out landing on feet. I looked around the area I was in but it seemed empty except for a black outline in the distance.

"That's where're going?" I asked pointing to the black outline.

"Yes, let's hurry Obi-Wan's distraction won't last for ever" She replied, I nodded my head and we took off towards the base.

-STAR WARS-

The battle field

"10 seconds to landing!" A clone pilot yelled. Obi-Wan stood calmly waiting for the landing. Already half of their numbers had been lost in the landing of the planet but still they had to go on.

"We've landed! Go! Go Go!" A clone yelled and soon the doors of the gunship opened up to meet small camp set up by the clones. It was mostly a half circle made of boxes or landed gunships. The separatists have the advantage by setting their troops on a hill up a head forcing the clones to land below them. Obi-Wan activated his lightsaber and joined the conflict. Body's laid all over the battlefield showing the hopelessness of the battle. Obi-Wan knew there was no way they were going to win this battle but their lives will not be in vain as Joel and Zeilah will have destroyed the base. Obi-Wan snapped out of his thoughts by the screams of the clone who had been shot in the head next to him. He tried his best to deflect the blasts aiming for his men but he couldn't save them all. One by one they went down, and whenever they took out a droid on he opposite end another one soon replaced it. The clones started to lose morale but Obi-Wan's bravery kept them fight.

But how long will it last?

-STAR WARS-

Inside the base

Zeilah and I got in without any trouble, they only had two guards which proved no challenged as we cut them down without them knowing what hit em.

"So here do we have to place these charges?" I asked. Zeilah pulled out a piece of paper.

"If this base follows the norms of separatist base we should place them here and here" She said pointing to a 4 hallways and one reactor room. While we were discussing the map I heard the door open behind me and a couple of metal footsteps ran throughout the room.

"Ummm were we expecting visitors?" The droid asked the other droid.

"I don't think so"

"AHHHH" We quickly cut down the two droids and we continued forwards. We didn't encounter much resistance, it seemed that most of the droids were on the battle field outside. I hope Obi-Wan is holding his own out there.

"So which way to the reactor room?" I asked placing down another charge.

"Just down this corridor"

I looked to my left and noticed a door slightly opened.

"Shouldn't we check out this room?"

"No that's the prison room I doubt there's anything in there"

"What about the battle outside? They might have taken some prisoners"

"Fine"

I opened the door and took a peek inside. The room was filled with cells but they all seemed to be filled with... Clones...

"Get in here quick!" I yelled to Zeilah. She quickly ran over to where I was and took a peek inside. We walked into the room and towards the cells. Had the battle ended? Had they lost?

"Joel? Zeilah?" A voice ran throughout the room and stopped me dead I my tracks. That voice... It's Obi-Wan! I ran towards the voice and found Obi-Wan tied in a cell.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Behind you..."

I heard the familiar sound of a lightsaber igniting and a pain erupted in my chest. I looked down and saw a red blade sticking out where my heart was. What...? How...? I fell to the ground clutching my chest.

"Too easy" Said a voice that sounded familiar. I felt a foot push me around to face my attacker. I turned on my back and saw her...

Ventress...

Is this how I die? In a failed battle surrounded by fictional characters? Heh... Heh... My vision faded to black as the sounds of my laughter was my final noise.

No...

No

NO

A burning feeling ran through my chest as my vision returned. Ventress stood over me wide eyed as I stood up. I felt a pain in my left eye but I ignored it. That wasn't my concern.

A/N Battle against a true hero rock remix starts playing by NateWantsToBattle

"...Brace yourself, for the true hero appears! I will stand up and lay down of my fears... Not even a single soul you tried to spare so raise your weapon try fight me if you dare!" I yelled igniting my green lightsaber and pointing it at her. The winds howl grew louder as the wind blew against my face. Ventress ran towards me slashing at me with everything she had. I find it surprising easy as my reaction time increased, I was on equal footing with her as we kept in a rhythmic tone of our blades. Deep in my soul a feeling comes through. All my friends hearts are all beating as one! I'll keep my everything safe, even from you.

"With all I've got I'm striking you down!" I yelled.

"We'll see" She said keeping the same pace. It seemed we were at the same pace striking at blocking all while trying to get a footing on each other. She kneed me in the hip I was staggered but I managed to move out of the way of an incoming slash aiming for my hip. This is my battle, my story, my vow! One day I'll find the truth of this world. All of my hopes are shared I one dream. It lives with elation that I want to keep. All of your lives are not what they seem. This is my one and last duty call! Not even you can slay such a nobel cause! I blocked a slash aimed for neck and tried to stab her in the chest but she parried my saber and took an aim for my head I ducked and took a few steps back before advancing on her again. I regret all of the things that I have left unspoken. I would give them all to you if I could turn back the time. Dust has covered all our lines and now my final peace is broken. I will keep to my vows even if the burden become 're climbing up but one by one we're falling. Still I'll strive to the top you can't break my spirit in time. This will be you last mistake your final triumph. This will be the end of your genocide. I won't run away even if you see me falling. I'll take you to the top, gathering all my courage in time. This will be your final breathe fight against a true hero. Even if you don't have to try.

"What are you!" Ventress yelled being pushed back by my raging strikes.

"Heh... I'm the true hero" I said before hitting the light saber out of her hand. "Surrender"

"Never!" She hissed before hitting my slicing a bit of my cloak.

"You know what? I really liked that cloak... So you better be prepared to pay for it" I said before falling back and taking a few more swings. But she seemed to have the upper hand as she quickly took back her pace. It was long till my lightsaber was tossed out of my hand.

"Joel watch out!"
