CHAPTER 14
ROOM OF A THOUSAND FLOODS
A/N: This is happening while Dooku, Grievous, and Asajj are in Boston
Padawan's Whie Malreaux and Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy (Nicknamed Scout) stood in front of the computer that controled the weather in the Room of a Thousand Fountains.
"I don't know if this is a good idea, Scout," Whie said, looking at the redhead. "If Master Leem and Master Kim find out what we are doing we'll be in trouble for sure."
"I don't care," Scout said. "Besides we're not doing anything wrong. We're just watering the garden."
"Didn't Master Yoda want you to use a water bucket?"
Scout laughed. "If I used the water bucket it would take me forever to water those plants. Besides Master Kim taught me how to change the atmosphere in most of the garden chambers. I'm only going to make it rain in there."
"All right," Whie said. "Go ahead. I have to go anyway. I have a band practice this afternoon."
He turned to go.
"Oh, no you don't!" Scout said, grabbing the belt of his tunic. "I know what you're planning on doing. As soon as you leave you're going to tell someone what I'm up to."
"No, I'm not," Whie protested.
"Sit down, Padawan!" Scout ordered with such authority he had to obey.
As soon as he was seated Scout turned back to the screen. "Time to get to work," she said, typing on the keyboard.
Master Yoda sat in the Room of a Thousand Fountains doing his rutine meditations when a drop of water slashed on his left ear.
Huh?
The old Jedi opened his
eyes. He looked around himself and at the ceiling.
A fat drop of water hit him in the face.
What? Raining it is?
He shrugged. A little rain never hurt anyone. He was just surprised to see it raining. Inside the building.
Hmmm. A leak in the roof there must be...
"Is it working?" Whie asked, looking over at the screen.
Scout looked toward the screen as well. She could read the words Entered Command: Complete.
"Yes," she said. "it's working." She leaned back in her chair and smiled. "Now I don't have to break my arm carring that water bucket to and from the bathroom anymore."
"The bathroom!" Whie exclaimed.
"Yeah," she said. "I use the sink to fill the watering can."
Whie was about to reply when he heard a clanging sound above their heads.
"What is that?" he asked.
Scout looked toward the ceiling. "I don't know," she said. "It sounds like one of the Younglings might be using the garbage shute for a slide again."
"And got stuck!" Whie exclaimed.
"We'd better get them out," Scout said.
Whie pulled out his lightsaber and began to cut a hole in the room with it. 'Don't worry!" he called. "We'll get you out!"
After a few minutes he was able to cut a hole in the ceiling. "Okay," he said. "You can come-"
A brown ball of fur popped through the hole and landed on his face. "GAH!" the Padawan yelped, falling backward.
He hadn't had time to turn off his lightsaber. When he fell backward his lightsaber hand fell into the computer. The blade pierced the screen.
Master Yoda noticed it was raining even harder now. Something told him this was no leak.
He looked at the ceiling again. It looked like the sprinkler system had come on. And was going haywire!
"What's going on?" he asked, standing up on his favorite rock. "Who turned that on? Playing with the climate control somone is!"
"Whie!" Scout shrieked, staring at the damaged screen. "Look what you did!"
Whie pulled the furball off his face. His lightsaber had completely impailed the computer screen.
"Oops," he said. "Sorry about that."
"Getting out of here I am!" Yoda shouted, jumping off his rock.
And nearly drowning in water above his head.
Thge Jedi quickly scrambled out of the water and looked around. The whole room was full of water. It looked like and ocean! "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed in panic. "Flooded the room someone has!"
Scout grabbed Whie's shirt collar and shook him. "Sorry, isn't good enough!" she screamed. "Now the rain's not going to stop! What if someone was in that room? They'll be waterlogged!"
"Check!" Whie shouted.
"What?"
"Check and see if anyone was in there."
Scout turned to another screen. This one was set for the security cameras. "Let's hope none was," she said, typing. "Let's hope it's not Yoda!"
The camera for the Room of a Thousand Fountains came on.
Scouts eyes got big anf she slumped into her chair. "Ohmigosh!"
The water was creeking to Yoda's ankles now. He tried to climb higher on his rock but he had already reached the top. He scanned the area. He could see some trees growing nearby. They were his only hope.
Willing the Force around him he jumped. And landed just inches from his destination.
SPLASH!
"Who's in there?" Whie asked, looking over her shoulder at the screen.
Scout looked at Whie. "Jedi Master Yoda," she said.
Whie's face turned white. "Uh no...," he began.
"WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" Scout screamed, grabbing her head. "IF WE DON'T HE'S GOING TO DROWN!"
Yoda's body went under. He quickly swam to the surface and looked around. All the trees were gone!
Oh boy, he thought. In trouble I am.
"Calm down," Whie said. "Let's just tell someone."
"Good idea," Scout said.
She spotted the furball. it waas trying to leave the room. "You!" she shouted to it.
The thing looked at her. "Me?" it said.
"Tell Master Windu go to the Room of a Thousand Fountains and get Master Yoda out."
"Umm, okay," the thing said rushing out of the room.
Yoda knew he was running out of time. Out of desperation he resorted back to the best way to get someone's attention.
He took and deep breath... and started screaming.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Mace Windu and Adi Gallia were walking down the hall just outside of the Room of a Thousand Fountains when they heard the sound of Master yoda's screaming.
"What's he doing in there?" Adi asked.
Mace shrugged. 'I don't know," he said. 'But I have a feeling he's been eating chocolate again. You know how he gets when he snacks on those Hershey bars..."
"Maybe we should check anyway," The Corellian suggested.
Mace shrugged again. "All right," he said heading over to the door.
The water was almost to the roof now. Yoda knew he was out of time. He'd just have to try to open the doors.
He dived under, wipping out his lightsaber. He knew that the computers were set that if a fire or something broke out in a room the doors would lock to contain it. He had to cut his way out.
He saw the door ahead and almost swam into it. Quickly he shoved his blade into it.
Mace had almost reached the door when he saw a green lightsaber poke through the door.
"What's he doing?" Adi asked, eyeing the lightsaber.
"I donm't know," Mace said. "I wonder if he's having hallucinations."
"Better open that door."
Yoda had almost cut through when he heard a loud rumbling sound. He looked back into the room. Uh oh... bad this is...
He retracted his lightsaber.
Before Mace even got close enough to open the door it came open. His eyes grew wide as he saw Matser Yoda come flying at him followed by a giant wave!
Farther down the hall Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura stood near the elevators when they suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound.
"What is that?" Aayla asked.
"I don't kow," Kit replied.
They both looked in the direction it was coming from.
A huge tidal wave bore down on them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" the two Jedi screamed, turning and running.
The water chased them down the hall.
They neared the elevator's. Kit put up his hand to open the doors with the Force.
Too late.
The wave crashed down on them and they were added to the flood.
Suddenly all the water began to got downward.
Kit and Aayla screamed as the water came flying out the window. Takeing them with it!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they screamed.
SPLOOOSH!
Chancellor Palpatine had parked his brand new speeder car near the Jedi Temple as was just about to head into the Temple for a visit when he heard a noise above his head.
He looked up. "Strange," he said. "That looks like water..."
The stuff got closer.
"IT IS WATER!" he shrieked. "AND IT'S COMING RIGHT AT ME!"
The Chancellor's fast reflexes got him out of the way just in time to avoid getting wet. His new speeder wasn't so lucky. It was smashed when five bodies landed on top of it.
"MY SPEEDER!" he screamed running up to it. "MY BEAUTIFUL NEW SPEEDER!"
When he got closer he saw the bodies belonged to Jedi. Five Jedi. Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Adi Gallia. The last two surprised him. Mace Windu and Master Yoda!
"What are you doing?" he demanded them.
Mace looked up at him. "Ow...," he moaned. He saw Palpatine. "Uh... hello Chancellor..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Palpatine demanded.
"Huh?" Mace asked.
"Is this some new kind of Jedi game for getting more atuned with the Force?" Palpatine demanded. "Creating water falls and falling on speeders?"
"It wasn't our fault," Adi said getting up.
"Yes!" Yoda replied. "Flooded the Room of a Thousand Fountains someone has!"
"Flooded?" Palpatine asked.
Mace nodded.
The Chancellor shook his head. "Why do I get the feeling you're all about to tell me what happened..."
And that's exactly what they did.
