Chapter 9: Rescue at the lion's den.
(Coruscant's streets on the way towards the chancellor's office)
Shaak Ti was in a hurry towards the chancellor's office with the members of the high Jedi council with a smile, after three days, the clone spy service found results and chancellor Palpatine gave the news in the middle of a reunion, she was so happy to hear that they had found something, when the gunship touched ground, she was the first to exit the gunship and hurried towards the chancellor's office with a smile on her face. After lots of twists and turns through the halls, they finally arrived at the chancellor's office, once they entered they saw senators Bail Organa and Padme Amidala sitting in front of the chancellor, when they nottice them, the chancellor dismissed them, "Excuse me senators, we will continue this talk later, now I have to give the good news to master Shaak Ti." On their way out, the senators gave Shaak Ti their condolences and walked out of the office.
"Masters, please come in and sit." The chancellor invited politely, after they sat down, chancellor Palpatine spoke mostly to master Shaak Ti, "Our spy clone service has located your son's whereabouts, he's being held captive in a separatist capital ship near the Utapau system." "Finally!" Said Shaak Ti with happiness, "We shall rescue him and find out who hired that bounty hunter." However, chancellor Palpatine was with a serious expression, "But it seems that the capital ship is Dooku's flagship and an attempt of rescuing mission will be difficult," then Palpatine activated a hologram showing the capital ship surrounded by three separatist frigates "you see, it is surrounded by three separatist frigates." With a stern look, Shaak Ti spoke, "You mean that we should just sit around doing nothing?" Palpatine nodded sadly, "He's my son for force's sake! Who knows what they are doing to him now!" With a surprise look the chancellor got up from his seat, looked into the window and cleared his throat, "I understand what you are going through master Ti, but I can't risk lots of star destroyers for a child, if count Dooku has him then we can only assume that he's dead," Shaak Ti looked with a sad expression and tried her best to hold back tears of desperation and frustration, her career as mother has failed resoundingly, was this going to end like this? All this four years of love and laughter were for nothing? Was she really a terrible mother? Just then a rodian appeared in the hologram, "Mahatma ashkin shikkoo Rahm Kota yabosca."-The Jedi master Rahm Kota is here chancellor.
"Very well, let him pass." The door opened and master Rahm Kota came in, "Sorry for the intrusion sir, but the siege of the outer rim territories was a success and my men are ready for departure towards Vaklin."
"Good work, master Kota, if we keep this up, the war will be over in no time."
"Where there any news about Jhoan's whereabouts?"
"Yes but unfortunately he's in Dooku's grasp and we can only assume the worse."
Rahm Kota looked at Shaak Ti who was shedding her tears the best she could, "I say we go save him." Both Shaak Ti and chancellor Palpatine looked at him startled, "What you need is more men and ships, your ships and clones along with their generals are spread think across the galaxy, my militia is ready chancellor, I'm the best option you have at the moment." Chancellor Palpatine nodded, "Yes I don't see why not, then it is decided master Shaak Ti will come along."
(Outside the chancellor's office on the way towards the military spaceports)
Masters Shaak Ti and Rahm Kota arrived at the military spaceports they were going to board a star destroyer when suddenly there was a voice spoken behind their backs, "Is this a rescue mission?" When they turned around it was Barack Obama, "Yes, it is, are you here to see us off?" Asked Shaak Ti with happiness, "Yes but you're not going alone." Just then some of the U.S. special forces came out of the shadows, they wore a new different uniform (like the troopers from the 1997 movie Starship troopers) with their morita rifles on their arms, Shaak Ti and Rahm Kota were both with their jaws wide open, "Thought you might need more help so I assembled a squad of the best men from the U.S. special forces to aid you on your mission, it's the least I can do for you." Shaak Ti was the first to speak "Thank you Mr. President I appreciate it." They were about to board when Obama spoke again, "Ah! If you see count Dooku, send him my regards."
(Separatist capital ship, Dooku's flagship in the Utapau system.)
Dooku was meditating when his holocomunicator started beeping, he kneeled and turned on the holocomunicator via force and within seconds the menacing hooded figure of Darth Sidious appeared before him, "Lord Tyranus."
"Yes my master, what is thy bidding?"
"How is your progress wit the child going so far?"
"Not so well as we thought my master, he refuses to join us or being taught in the ways of the dark side, he's resistance is quite admirable but he wouldn't do this the nice way."
"Such a shame, he could be so much more, he's a lost cause, move forward and take him to your manor on Serreno."
After hearing this Dooku raised his head to meet with Sidious's hologram with surprise on his eyes, "Master?"
"It won't be long before the republic forces locate your fleet near the Utapau system, take the boy to Serreno and break him in anyway you consider and if he still has not gave in then kill him."
"Yes my master." Then Dooku bowed his head and the figure vanished he then called five of his magnaguards, when the five droids came inside he spoke his commands, "Get the child into my Solar Sailer."
The three magnaguards nodded and went towards the detention levels, leaving Dooku alone, suddenly the ship rocked violently and the hologram of a neimoidian appeared before Dooku, "Captain report!"
"Four republic warships have emerged from hyperspace! And it appears that a consular ship has landed on the main hangar!"
(Shaak Ti's POV)
We landed on the main hangar, there where few droids but we got past them easily, the U.S. special forces and master Kota's militia proved me that they were better soldiers than I expected (apart of Kota's militia seen in SWTFU and SWTFU II I added some more members of Kota's militia seen on the SWBF II, if you don't know what I mean, then go to this site wiki/Kota's_Militia) we then raced towards the command bridge, I was deep in thought, "Please be okay, please be safe, just hang on a little more I'm on my way, mommy's here." Just then a few inches away from the command bridge I heard a voice in my head, the voice sounded cracked and malnourished full of sadness but I heard it saying a word I haven't heard in three days, "Mommy?"
(Detention levels, Jhoan's cell)
Jhoan Ti was sobbing uncontrollably, one moment he was laying on his "bed" holding his stomach on pain after a magnaguard beated him and next thing he was on the floor when the ship started rocking violently, just then he felt something like a presence, he then closed his eyes and asked inside his mind, "Mommy?"
"Jhoan? Is that you?"
"Mommy!"
"Jhoan! By the force you're alive! Are you ok? Where are you?"
"I don't know where am I, mommy I'm scared! I wanna be with you!"
"Don't worry honey, I'll find you I promise just hang on!"
Just then the ship rocked again and tis time it was more violently than the first time, Jhoan loosened balance and smashed his forehead against the wall, and fell unconscious.
(Command bridge Shaak Ti POV)
We finally arrived at the command bridge, while master Kota was taking care of some droids we kept a close eye to the neimoidian officers, when master Kota killed the last droid he ordered chores to his trustworthy commanders.
"Lock down the command bridge and get that hologram projector up and running."
"Yes general!"
"Tell all squads to fan out and funnel any opposition towards us."
The commander nodded his head and went to inform his squad.
"Explosive charges on engine room, storage room, and armoury just like we planned."
"General Kota, sir!" Suddenly spoke one of Kota's militia who was currently working on the data bank, "I found him, he's currently in the detention levels, block C, isolation cell 102."
Shaak Ti was overwhelmed and happy with the news, she was finally going to get her son back, she was finally going to be able to feel him in her arms once more, she was finally going to get him back home, "But he's schedule to leave soon towards the Serreno system." Inmediately Shaak Ti took out her lightsaber and headed towards the door, "Where do you think you're going?" Asked master Rahm Kota with a confused look, "To get my son back of course." Answered Shaak Ti franctically, "That will be our job, you will return to the hangar and wait for our return." Shaak Ti was beyond frustrated, she was furious, "Since when you tell a mother what to do? He's my son for force's sake! You can't deny that!" "I KNOW!" Shouted Rahm Kota in frustration, "I want to save him too but I cannot allow you to come along, I sense a trap in all of this, you will stay in the hangar and await for my return, don't worry, I'll bring him safe and sound." "But..." "Don't worry, I won't go alone, two of my best men and two from the U.S. special forces will accompany me I'll be fine." And with that master Rahm Kota with two U.S. special forces and two militia troopers with their draymak L1 heavy blaster rifles on their backs and their stun batons on their hands they took off immediately towards the level detention and freed the captive child once and for all.
(Detention levels)
"No! Please let me go, I did nothing wrong I swear! Please leave me alone!" Jhoan's pleads weren't answered by the magnaguards as they were dragging him by the arms towards the hangar, each step fel like an eternity, he tried to get away once more only to be slapped on the face harder by one of the magnaguards, he was sobbing uncontrollably as he was being dragged towards an unknown destination, as the five magnaguards were about to open the door of the hangar, five figures stepped from behind, "Hey you clankers!" When the magnaguards turned around Jhoan's breathing caught on his throat, there, in front of him was his good friend master Rahm Kota wit two of his militia troopers and two other soldiers unknown to him, "Why don't you pick up someone of your own size?".
The magnaguards took out a couple of binders and bounded Jhoan Ti to a nearby tube and took a fight stand, Rahm Kota and his men did the same and in no time the two sides charged at one another and the fight started, Jhoan was terrified and tried to get himself loose with no success, then he turned around and he could only hope that Rahm Kota would win.
After five minutes, Kota killed the last magnaguard and headed to the kid, with a wave of his hand he loosed the binders and the child run to him and hugged him tighter than ever before while he cried out on Kota's robes, "I was scared! I thought none would come looking for me! Hu, hu, hu, I..I..I was scared!" Said Jhoan Ti between sobs, the Kota with his right hand rubbed the back of the child's head and returned the hug, "I'm here now, don't worry, everything will be fine." He then signalled to one of the U.S. special forces soldier to check out the child for any injuries, "How is he?" "He has a broken leg, we will have to carry him to the ship." When the two U.S. special forces soldiers carried him Jhoan tensed up a bit, Kota noticed that and whispered into Jhoan's ear, "Don't worry, you can trust them, they are members of the U.S special forces, they are with me." Jhoan calmed down and allowed them to carry him towards freedom.
