Chapter 28: Anthony vs. Trickster
Tower (Anthony's POV)
After Barriss told me that Trickster was located on top of a tower, a few miles away from the court, I drove down to the building where I said to Theta, "Theta I want a full scan of building."
"Of course sir." He said to me as a I pulled out a holocomm and a hologram of the tower appeared. "The bottom half of the tower seems unguarded but as you get to the higher levels, your going to see more guards and Trickster is located on the top."
"It looks like we're going to have to fight our way through this." I said to him. "I just hope the Barriss and Jason can get to the nano-droids before Trickster detonates them."
Court (Barriss' POV)
When Anthony told us that Trickster plans to blow up the court, Jason and I went down to the court to find the bomb and disarm it before it detonates. As we arrived at the front entrance to the court, the two of us got off a Prowler and ran towards the court where we were stopped by a clone who was standing guard and said, "Hold it right there Commander Offee. I'm afraid I can not let you two both in."
I looked at the clone and said, "You have to let us in! Everyone is in grave danger!"
"What are you talking about?!" The clone asked.
"Trickster has sent nano-droids inside the building to blow up everyone who is attending Ahsoka Tano's and Adam Amor's trial!" Jason said to him.
The clone then stepped aside and said, "Get in and find that bomb before it goes off!" The two of us nodded at him as we entered the building and went searching for the bomb.
As we ran through the hallways, I contacted Lux and Fixer to have them assist us in locating the bomb. "Lux! Fixer! I need you two to help us locate the bomb!"
"Got it!" Lux said to me.
"The bomb seems to be located below the courtroom where Adam and Ahsoka are being trialed! But you got ten minutes before it goes off!" Fixer said to me as Jason and I now ran to the lower levels of the building.
(Ahsoka's POV)
As our trial continued, Padme did her best to defend Adam and I. "Ahsoka says, that Letta was strangled to death by the force. Why would she kill her with a method that is tied to her. And Adam only came to Ahsoka's aid to protect her from clones that were firing real bullets instead of stun bullets. I speak before everyone saying that someone may be responsible for the murder and that you are prosecuting the wrong people." She says to the court.
After she made her statement Admiral Tarkin claps for her and says, "Well said Senator Amidala. However if they are innocent, then why did they murder Assaj Ventress."
Adam looks at Tarkin and says, "Ventress was found killed after the clones arrested us. We have our team searching for the real murderer!"
Tarkin looks at him and asks, "And where are your friends?! For all we know they could be in on this too!"
"We've helped the Republic many times!" I said to Tarkin and the Court. "That's all we've done is to try to save and protect people! Including you Tarkin! Our friends are finding the real murder!"
After I made my point, Tarkin points his finger at me and says, "Then maybe they should be looking at you two."
Tower (Anthony's POV)
As I fought dozens of guards on every floor, trying to reach Trickster before he could activate the droids, I look around and see more guards coming at me. As they approach me and aim their guns, I throw a smoke grenade at them and a puff of white smoke begins to appear. With the smoke distracting them I start to take out one guard at a time and throw punches at their faces and ribs while I disarm them and use their guns to take out some of them. With the smoke beginning to fade away, I say to Theta, "At this rate we'll never reach Trickster in time."
"I have an idea sir." He said to me,
"What is it?" I asked him.
"Head over to that open elevator." He said to me as I looked around and saw an open elevator. I got in and then he added, "Look up and open the emergency hatch on the elevator." I did what he said and opened the hatch and got on top of the elevator. I then started to see what he was thinking. Using a grappling hook that was bolted onto my suit, I fired it at the roof of the building and let it pull me up to where Trickster was located.
Court (Barriss' POV)
After Jason and I reached the room that was below the courtroom, Jason and I walked in and saw dozen's of crates. We walked in and started opening every crate where we saw that there were barrels full of nano-droids and we soon found a barrel that had a timer on it, where it said that we had six minutes. I look at Jason and say, "Jason I need you to disarm the bomb!"
"What?! Me?!" He asked.
"You're the one in the entire team with the most training in disarming bombs." I said to him as he looked at the timer and saw dozens of wires attached to the barrel.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
Tower (Anthony's POV)
After I reached the roof of the tower I started to walk around the roof where I saw Trickster wearing his black trench coat and standing next to three gaurds. Trickster looks at me and says, "Nice of you to join us Anthony." He says to me as I realize he knows my identity. "You're just in time to watch the show begin."
I walk towards him and say, "Where's the detonator?!"
He then looks at his three gaurds and says, "Kill him." The three gaurds then start to shoot at me with their guns. I dodge every bullet fired and hide behind a crate where I pull out a stun grenade and roll it towards the guards feet. While they were firing at me the grenade goes off and the guards are soon electrocuted and passed out. When I knew the guards were taken care of I look round and see that Trickster is gone.
That is until I turn around and see him hit me in the face with a metal bar, causing me to get knocked down and loose my helmet. As soon as I fell down, Trickster jumps on top of me and tries to stab my eye with his knife. Using all of my strength I was able to throw him off of me and was also able to get the knife away from him. But soon he started to throw punches and kicks at me. But I was able to block and parry every one of his moves and cause him to fall on down onto the ground.
Now it was my turn to beat his face. As I jumped on him to punch him in the face he grabs his knife and stabs me in the right shoulder. Thanks to my armor, the knife wasn't able to penetrate my skin, but I was still in shock seeing the blade in my right shoulder. Once I removed the blade from my shoulder, Trickster get's up and hits me with the metal bar and knocks me down and locks me in a position. As I struggle to free myself, Trickster looks at me and says, "We really should stop fighting. Otherwise we'll miss the fireworks."
"There won't be any fireworks!" I said to him.
"And here we…go!" He said to me.
Court (Barriss' POV)
"Done!" Jason said to me after he disarmed the bomb. "And with plenty of time to spare." I was so relieved to see that Jason was successfully to disarm the bomb and with only three minutes to left on the timer.
Tower (Anthony's POV)
When Trickster realized that the bomb didn't go off, he looks at the Republic Court, and I say to him, "Looks like your fireworks were cancelled."
"If you want things done right you got to everything yourself. Don't we!" He said to me as he pulled out the detonator to the bomb, "That's okay I came prepared. It's funny world we live in. Looks like the show is about to begin."
"I don't think so!" I said to him as I kneed him in the nuts and ripped the detonator from his hand while I threw him off the building. As he fell through the sky, I immediately shot my grappling hook at him before it was too late. As the hook stopped him from falling, I screamed in pain, having all of his weight pulling my arm.
After I got him back up on the roof, I looked at him and said, "You're not getting away that easily." I then got threw away from the ledge of the roof and wrapped the grappling hook around his arms and said, "You're coming with me."
Court (Ahsoka's POV)
After both Padme and Tarkin finished arguing, it was now up to the jury to decide me and Adam's fate. A member of the jury stood up and said to the court, "The member's of the jury have reached a decision."
Adam and I then look at the Chancellor stand up and say, "Ahsoka Tano and Adam Amor. By an overwhelming amount of votes the court has decided-" The Chancellor was soon cut off.
"Wait!" We all turned around and saw Anthony walk into the court with a squad of clones behind him.
"I hope you have a good reason of interrupting the trial young man." The Chancellor said to Anthony.
"I have brought you the real murder!" Anthony said as he walked into the group and said, "The real murder is Trickster!" Anthony then grabbed Trickster and threw him onto the platform. Adam and I looked at Anthony stand by Trickster as he put Trickster on his knees, and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Tell them what you told me!" Anthony aggressively said.
Trickster looks at the court with an evil smile and says, "Yes it was me! I was the one who framed Ahsoka and Adam. I killed all those people to prove a point. To give everyone a good look at the real Jedi and all the heroic things they've done for the Republic. I was able to use this chaos to frame one of the most trusted padawans in the Jedi Order and I got the jedi and the Republic to believe that she had gone rogue. It wasn't hard. See madness, as you know, is… like gravity. All it takes is a little push!" After he said that, Trickster just laughs manically as the Chancellor orders the clones to take him away, and releases Adam and Ahsoka.
Okay everyone that is the end of this chapter. Stick around to see what will happen to Ahsoka and Adam. If you like the story then please leave a comment. I also want to mention that this is the final chapter that was inspired by The Dark Knight. See you guys on Chapter 29.
