Chapter 11
The Separatist blockade was going down very fast, since they have been unprepared for this
"Obi-Wan, Adenan and Commander Cody take Dragitor with their forces, the 501st Legion and Senator Amidala, while I go battle on Ceresta" Plo Koon ordered
"Fives! Go save the younglings that are arriving here!" Obi-Wan ordered Fives, a clone who was with Obi-Wan on the citadel
Obi-Wan, listened to the orders and landed all his forces on Dragitor, the moon's red grasses were burning and all the animals were running around as Obi-Wan activated his sky blue lightsaber, which contrasted with the red and dark blue surroundings, Adenan's sky blue lightsaber was even lighter than Obi-Wan's and it contrasted with the surroundings too. Battle Droids came surrounding them, then, The Republic forces started their attack, blue and red were spinning, flowing or going into yellow sparks as one of the colours hit someone, Obi-Wan noticed the monastery nearby. He ordered Adenan and Padmè to follow him, and they obeyed. When they reached there, they saw Qui-Gon and no one else
"Obi-Wan!" Qui-Gon exclaimed
"Where is Anakin and Ahsoka?" Obi-Wan asked
"Taken by the Dathomirian and the cyborg Kaleesh" Qui-Gon answered, not knowing who they were, but the rest did
"Asajj Ventress and General Grevious" Padmè mumbled, carefully pitched so only Obi-Wan could hear what she said
"That means they are on that big ship, OH NO! They could get killed if shoot that one off!" Adenan exclaimed
"Correct, my padawan, take Padmè and rescue them!" Obi-Wan ordered
"But I am not old enough to rescue someone alone" Adenan argued
"You will not be alone, Padmè is quite skilled herself, and I rescued a Jedi once alone when I was your age" Obi-Wan replied
"I remember it like it was yesterday, rescuing Master Ur-Sema from the slavers" Qui-Gon remembered
That part shut Adenan up, if his master did it, so can he! Adenan quickly ran to a four seater ship, picked up Padmè and left for the Invincible, Admiral Trench's ship, now borrowed by Dooku.
"I have a friend to show you two!" Dooku said
"Yeah, Who?" Anakin angrily asked
"Darth Sidious!"
An hologram appeared in front of them, it was an hooded figure wearing red tunics and robes, similar to The Chancellor, but, his face was covered with a black hood, or at least, that's what it seemed like.
"Ah! The Great Anakin Skywalker is now in custody of Dooku himself!" Sidious cackled
"Yes! But we will escape!" Anakin exclaimed, anger growing
"Oh such empty promises! Join the dark side and maybe I wont have to kill you!" Sidious replied
"Then kill me! I will never join you!" Anakin growled
"Fine then! Due to my orders, you and your young padawan will be executed in three hours, I will give you the choice to join me in those hours, choose wisely" Sidious then laughed as he disconnected
"I am not so young anymore!" Ahsoka mumbled
"Sidious is making you choose which side, choose wisely Skywalker!" Dooku exclaimed and left, taking the holographic scanner with him
Meanwhile, Adenan and Padmè were running through the corridors trying to find the detention area, splitting and blasting any droids that came their way. They then found the detention cell, guarded by a alien.
"Can you use your Jedi mind tricks on him" Padmè said, hiding
"No! I haven't been trained on that!" Adenan quietly exclaimed
"Ugh! Now what!" Padmè exclaimed
"Hmm… let me think. Aha!" Adenan exclaimed
"What?"
Adenan closed his eyes and did a simple force pull to push a box down which were full of blaster, all of them shot at different directions, distracting the guard, Padmè and Adenan sneaked in. Both of them looked at a computer, which said Anakin and Ahsoka were locked at cell 5A14Br, Padmè and Adenan ran to the stairs, praying not to get tracked
Meanwhile, Anakin and Ahsoka were thinking of a way to escape, unaware that rescue was coming
"Now, what! The button needed to release us is right over there! Out of arm's reach!" Ahsoka exclaimed, quietly
"Ok Snips, now's the time to test a special modification I made to my left arm, Never tested" Anakin said
"Never tested? How will you know it works?" Ahsoka asked
"I will, just know. Watch this!" Anakin said
He pressed the third segment of his robotic thumb with his left hand, and the whole robotic hand came off, moving toward the switch. Ahsoka looked in awe, Anakin was an amazing inventor. Then, the arm climbed up the table and flicked the switch, immediately releasing Anakin and Ahsoka from their chains. That's when Padmè and Adenan entered
"Wait a minute, rescue was coming?" Anakin asked
"Yes, were here to rescue you two!" Padmè said
"But we just escaped!" Ahsoka moaned
"Ironic" Adenan said
Anakin and Ahsoka walked to Padmè, who told them "So, lets escape, shall we?"
"Of course!" Ahsoka exclaimed
"Wait! I forgot something!" Anakin exclaimed
All of them looked at him and stood, Anakin used the force to pull his arm to him and reattach to his left arm, everyone except Ahsoka were surprised
"Special modification, made it only this morning"
"Ok, everyone ready?" Adenan asked
"Yes!" everyone exclaimed
So, everyone started running toward the place Adenan parked the ship, and they fought every battle droid that came across them. They just made it when Asajj Ventress stood at the door made by the ship
"You thought you could escape without attracting attention, well, you guessed wrong" Asajj Ventress exclaimed
"You cant defeat me!" Adenan exclaimed, igniting his lightsaber, but he wasn't going to duel Ventress, he knew that he was only going to escape. Adenan preferred Form III, which happened to Obi-Wan's style, so he was a formidable opponent on lightsabers. He and Ventress started their short duels, first, Adenan raised his lightsaber quickly to avoid an uppercut, and then Adenan lowered his lightsaber over Ventress's head quickly, to cut her off, but she dodged it, she was far enough for Adenan to run
"Ha! You're a little coward, child! Your master would not be proud of you!" Ventress taunted
The last part want a little overboard for Adenan, quickly, his fear of not being able to impress his master quickly turned to anger, Adenan used force speed to dash to Ventress, a duel insured with Adenan being on the offensive, Adenan found new power on the dark side, and mixed some darker elements into his combat style, this was a bit too much for the assassin, Adenan quickly cut off Ventress's right hand, he in full anger, said
"Prepare to die!"
Anakin saw what was happening, in an effort for trying to get Adenan to see good again said "Adenan! Let's go!"
Hearing Anakin's voice made him calmer, he saw what anger and hate had done to Anakin, so he came to the ship and Anakin drove them out of there. All the republic ships saw the ship going out of the flagship, and they shot missiles at the Invincible. Ventress, Dooku and Grevious escaped on the same escape pod. Alas, the Invincible was dead.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Bail Organa were killing all the battle droids on Dragitor when Adenan's ship landed ship landed
"Adenan! Are you all right?" Obi-Wan asked
"Yes master, and the rescue was successful" Adenan answered
"Hi!" Anakin greeted
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan happily exclaimed
"Yes, I am all right!" Anakin replied
"Now, we have a battle to fight here!" Qui-Gon exclaimed
All of them activated their lightsabers and charged their blasters, including Anakin and Ahsoka. All of them went on a line with the clones, all of the Separatist forces were dying quickly on Dragitor, there were a few hundred casualties in the Republic side. When they completed wiping out the battle droids on Dragitor, they went for Ceresta, which had a few battle droids and clones, back at the escape pod, Sidious contacted them
"Dooku! What is the situation on Ceresta!" Palpatine exclaimed
"Our forces are being outnumbered!" Dooku exclaimed
"I give you one more chance to kill Skywalker! Don't fail me!"
"Yes my lord!" Dooku exclaimed again
Palpatine disconnected the call and the Sith went for Ceresta to deal with Anakin and Ahsoka, once and for all, or so they thought. Ventress stayed at the pod since she was wounded, so Dooku and Grevious went to kill the Jedi
"Oh! So you escaped, but you wont live!" Dooku said
"I don't think so!" Anakin exclaimed
"Your arrogance blinds you!
So, Anakin started duelling both the General, and the Sith, he couldn't defend himself from so many lightsabers, so he got disarmed and fell, he was going to die if it hadn't been for Qui-Gon and his timely intervention. Qui-Gon quickly disarmed Dooku and cut off most of General Grevious's limbs. Qui-Gon stood in front of Dooku.
"Qui-Gon! Yo… You… You're… Alive!" Dooku exclaimed, he couldn't believe that his former apprentice
"Yes, my former master, I am alive!" Qui-Gon said, calmly
"How?" Dooku asked surprised
"Anakin revived me" Qui-Gon answered
"I thank you Anakin!" Dooku thanked
"You're humbly welcome!" Anakin replied
"If there's anything you need, not Sith-related, you can ask me" Dooku replied
"We need nothing as of now, but we might need something later," Anakin said
Dooku was about to say goodbye when Ventress came out, and said
"I don't believe this! Sidious told us to kill Skywalker! Not thank him!" Ventress said
"Get out of here! Both of you!" Anakin exclaimed, referring to Ventress and Grevious
"Listen to him!" Dooku ordered
Ventress and Grevious went out of there, but Dooku stayed, as ordered
"You can leave if you want" Anakin motioned
"I think I'll stay here, for a while, until I have to leave" Dooku said
So, the battle was ended and Dooku stayed for a while on Ceresta, not going in the way of anything, he watched closely what his former apprentice's order was doing the whole day, dealings they had to face, and even talked to them. He even welcomed the new members. But, he a dark side, still, he was nearing his plot, to assassinate the King of Mon Cala, an underwater world in the Chommell Sector, naturally, making Senator Padmè Amidala of Naboo the Senator of the planet, after Amidala retires, it will be Mon Cala's turn to choose a Senator, which will make Naboo allied with the Separatist, which will be an added bonus.
Yeah, I made up Senator Amidala being responsible for Mon Cala, but it made sense for later in the story, and because Mon Cala is very near Naboo, as evidenced in the Clone Wars TV Show. NEXT CHAPTER: THE WATER WAR
