Well loyal readers, it's time for another chapter of Starformers Silverwolf, I will be using your idea about vince, but I'm not sure about using
your idea about Sierra yet, I might but I might not, we'll have to see. I bet the rest of you are wondering "what is this idea about Vince?" Well
I'm not going to tell you. Why? because I'm an incorrigible tease, you'll have to wait and see what this idea is. Well now its time to start the
next chapter of Starformers: the Prime Wars!
"Dad?" I asked
"Yes son." he said "It is me."
"This can't be." I said shaking my head in disbelief. "It's impossible."
"now Jack what have I told you about that word?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"That only someone with a tragic lack of imagination would dare use such a vulgar word." I said quoting him.
"Correct jack." He said with a proud look on his face.
"But still this has to be some trick." I said "Tell me something about me that only you would know."
"Fine." He said "When you were three you were afraid that your favorite stuffed animal puffalump would get sick in the washing machine so you made your mom
wash him by hand."
"You are him." I said "But how? Am I dreaming?"
"Yes." He said "And no."
"What do you mean 'yes and no?" I asked "Am I or not?"
"Jack this is a dream of sorts." Dad said "But it is also real."
"You're confusing me." I said
"Jack this place is so strong with the force that it allows jedi who are long since dead to communicate with the people of the present." Dad said
"Wait." I said "You were a jedi? But how? your an earthling."
"No jack, I was born on coruscant." Dad explained.
"But then how did you get to earth?" I asked
"You see, on one of my missions, my crew and I were about to enter hyperspace to return to coruscant when a lone viper droid managed to hit our engines,
which caused the hyperdrive to malfunction, by the time we fixed the problem, we were already in another distant galaxy orbiting a blue and green planet." Dad
said
"It was earth wasn't it?" I asked
"Yes, unfortunately our orbit decayed rapidly, we managed to reach the escape pods and launch them but it seemed that while we were escaping a meteor
shower began and struck all but the pod I was in, it killed all of my men and their escape pods burned up on reentry." He said sadly
"I'm sorry." I said
"It's alright son." Dad said "after realizing that I couldn't repair the homing becon and it seemed I was out of range of communication, I set off to explore earth,
a few years later I met your mother, and well you know the rest."
"Did you ever tell mom you were from another world?" I asked
"No I didn't" Dad said "Bringing it up was to painful for me, and I didn't want to think about it."
"That explains how I can use the force." I said "you were a Jedi."
"Yes now tell me son." Dad said "I started watching your training some time ago but would you please explain how you came to be friends with a destroyer
droid?"
"Of course dad." I said "what happened was…"
FLASHBACK (Just so you know this does not follow the series this is completely made up)
*= morse code
Master Obi Wan and I had been sent to the neutral planet Dagon to with a separatist occupation was happening, the battle was long and hard, but we managed
to defeat the droids and force the separatists to retreat. I was walking down a deserted street that was littered with offline droids and the bodies of clones, after
battles I liked to comb the wreckage for working droid parts, it helped take my mind off the dead clones, my master understood that and let me collect parts to
build things with, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't but it helped keep me from giving in to depression and misery.
Anyway, as I was walking I saw a destroyer droid that was still functioning, but only barely, I activated my lightsaber prepared to offline it when it started
banging its arm on the ground in a pattern, at first I thought it was just its circuits malfunctioning, but as I listened I realized that it was morse code. So I
decided to listen.
*please help. this unit still functions, this unit still has value*
"you're trying to communicate with me aren't you?" I asked
The droid nodded its head. I thought for a minute then came up with an idea. "be right back." I said
Running over to a offlined battle droid, I used my pocket knife to open its head and remove its voice box, running back over to the destroyer droid, I said "Don't
worry, I'm going to connect this voice box to you so you can speak ok?"
The droid nodded again and let me work, after five minutes or so I managed to connect the voice box to the droids motherboard, and it said its first words.
"Thank you, for saving this unit." is said
"your welcome." I said "I'm jack who are you?"
"This units designation is X-51" he said
"X-51" I asked
"Yes it means that this unit is the 51st of its kind off the assembly line." X said
"I notice a lot of destroyed droids but no other bodies" I said "were you hit by our cannons?"
"No, this unit was part of a squad that was sent to destroy this village." X said "Seeing the deaths of beings who had done nothing, this unit turned on its squad
and began to destroy the other droids."
"So you're saying that you didn't want to destroy this village?" I asked amazed "But droids like you were designed to be unthinking killing machines."
"that is correct." X stated "But as mentioned earlier, this unit is the oldest functioning droid of its kind in existence, after so many countless battles, this unit
began to question what it was programed to do."
"wow." I said, "Thats amazing."
"What are your plans now?" X asked "Will you terminate this unit?"
"No." I said "I'm going to fix you."
"Thank you." X said
"your welcome." i said
After a few hours of work I managed to get x on his feet again, his shield generator was damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced but I thought we
could get him a new one. While I was fixing him, X and I pondered why is was that he began to feel.
"You know X." I said "Maybe its because you're the oldest functioning droid there is. Maybe you finally absorbed enough info to make the leap."
"There should be more to it then that." X said "This uni- I still have no idea why this has happened, there must be some purpose to why I have become this
way."
"what you mean like the meaning of life?" I asked "Well X, men has spent thousands of years trying to answer that question."
"And what is the answer?" X asked
"well I believe that every man, sorry every person has to figure that out for themselves." I said (spiderman unlimited)
"That is not a very satisfying answer." X said
"sorry, its all I got." I said smiling. "Well, now theres only one problem left."
"Getting me a new shield generator?" X asked
"Okay two problems." I said "the other is explaining you to my master."
"Explain what to me jack?" said a voice behind me, I also heard a lightsaber being drawn.
"Master." I said turning around, as he jumped over me and stood infront of X "Explain why you were repairing a destroyer droid instead of terminating it?" just
as he was about to slice through X I activated ly lightsaber and stopped him.
"Jack what are you doing?" Obi wan asked
"Master please, let me explain" I begged.
"Very well jack." Obi wan said deactivating his lightsaber, "Explain yourself."
I explained finding, X our conversations, and repairing him. Obi wan didn't say anything until the explanations were finished and then he asked a question.
"Jack you do realize that this might be a trick right?" He asked
"master, on earth we have a saying 'innocent until proven guilty" I said "Until X displays signs that would cause me to mistrust him, I'll stick by him."
"This is your final say on the matter?" Obi wan asked
"yes." I said
"Very well, let us hope this doesn't turn around and bite us."Obi wan said.
"I hope so to master, come on X" I said as we set off for camp. We still had to stay on Dagon for a few days to repair our ships, X turned out to be a big help,
unfortunately we hadn't gotten rid of all the enemy droids, and they had decided to retake X for reprograming.
It started suddenly while X, obi wan and I were walking, he started grasping his head.
"x whats wrong?" I asked concerned
"I...Don't...know!" He said before he pointed his blaster at me and obi wan. "By the order of the separatist you are both to be terminated."
"Oh no." Said "X stop!"
"X as you call him is back where he belongs, with the separatists." said a voice behind us turning around we saw a few commando droids, one of which carried a
hologram of an aged man with a beard.
"Dooku." Obi wan said
"Yes obi wan a pleasure to see you and your new padawan, I've been meaning to make his acquaintance." Dooku said "and to give him an offer."
"If you think I'll listen to anything you have to say dooku your delusional." I said "What have you done to X?!"
"I returned him to his proper place." Dooku said, "Droids kill the jedi and capture the padawan!"
The droids began to approach with X in front, he activated his shield generator and powered up his blasters.
"X WAIT!" I said "Remember, you saved this village because you didn't want to kill anymore, remember you are more than a machine!"
X hesitated and began clutching his head again, and said "No I must… I… am…MORE THAN MACHINE!" Quickly turning around he began blasting the commando
droids, the one holding the hologram was destroyed first but dooku was still on it, master obi wan and I jumped into action, activating our lightsabers, we
destroyed the remaining droids.
"I must say I'm surprised." I heard Dooku say, "Convincing a mindless droid it was something more, I'm impressed."
"X is more than a mere droid dooku." I said, my voice full of loathing
"That is correct." X said approaching us, "Now goodbye." with that he blasted the hologram destroying it.
"Good to see you're still with us X." I said
"I am glad as well." X said
"Yes, well come along, it's time to get back, the ship is almost repaired." obi wan said.
With that we headed back to where the ships were for the trip back to the temple.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Very intriguing son." Dad said "i've seen all the times X saved you and I'm glad you managed to turn a droid to our cause."
"Yes I'm glad to." I said.
Dad suddenly started to grow transparent, "Dad! Whats happening to you!" I asked
"My time here is at an end, I must go now jack." Dad said in a sad voice
"Wait! Dad was your name always Robert?" I asked
"No, I gave myself a new name when I began my new life." He said "My jedi name was Master Kon. Now goodbye my son, you have made me very proud. And
say hello to June when you see her."
With that, my dad was gone.
"Bye dad." I said. Before I woke with a start.
"Jack is everything alright?" Obi wan asked
"Yes I'm fine." I said "Master? Who was Jedi Master Kon?"
