Kingdom Hearts: The Six Spirit Guardian
Chapter 26: Powerful Allies
Darius, the Allies, along with Centuritron are heading for the capital Planet of Coruscant. They had encountered new enemies known as Droids. They managed to defeat them before new allies appeared. Anakin, Obi-wan, Ahsoka, Barriss, Captain Rex, Commander Cody and others meet them and now they have arrived on Coruscant.
"Welcome to Coruscant," Obi-Wan said.
Darius and the Allies were amazed by the view. They turn planet ward and they are amazed.
Coruscant (pronounced /'kɔɹəsɑnt/), is an ecumenopolis—a city-covered planet, collectively known as Galactic City—in the Coruscant system of the Core Worlds. Noted for its cosmopolitan culture and towering skyscrapers, Coruscant's population consisted of approximately one trillion citizens hailing from a vast array of both humanoid and alien species. Though debated by historians, it was generally believed that Coruscant was the original homeworld of humanity. In addition, Coruscant's strategic location at the end of several major trade routes enabled it to grow in power and influence, causing the city-planet to surpass its early rivals and become the hub of galactic culture, education, finance, fine arts, politics, and technology. It was the location of several major landmarks, including the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza, and the Senate Building.
Serving as the capital of the galaxy since the ancient days of the Old Republic, Coruscant was at the center of many historic events, such as the Jedi Order's conflict with the Sith. Although the planet fell under Sith occupation for a time, Republic forces ultimately liberated Coruscant with the aid of the Jedi Knights. Their victory was so decisive to the point where the Sith were all but extinct, replacing an age of darkness and strife with the democratic rule of the modern Galactic Republic. Retaining its status as galactic capital, it was on Coruscant where the Galactic Senate governed the galaxy for centuries, establishing an era of peace that lasted for almost a millennium under the protection of the Jedi peacekeepers.
The Star Destroyers are reaching to the large naval port where the Republic Ships are stationed. Darius and the others were amazed at the view.
"Wow." Jinmay said.
"Impressive" Antauri said in amazement.
"This is almost like Shuggazoom." Chiro said.
"OMGOMGOMGOMG!" Ruby said as she runs around the bridge with excitement.
Anakin, Obi-Wan and his group were awed as Ruby runs around the bridge like a sugar-crazed child. Yang finally stopped her by yanking on her cape.
"Rubs, please calm down." Yang said smirking.
"You're such a dolt sometimes," Wiess said.
"Before we head for the Senate, you should speak with Master Yoda." Obi-Wan said to Darius and his team.
"Who is he?" Nanoha asks.
"He's is the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order." Ahsoka replied.
"Nice. Sounds powerful." Darius said.
When the Resolute lands, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka lead Darius and the group towards the large structure known as the Jedi Temple.
"Wow." Darius' group said, excluding Darius, Antauri, and Gibson.
A massive structure which soared over a kilometer above the surrounding rooftops, the Jedi Temple had the appearance of a fortress but was really a place of meditation and gentle reflection. Located in a strategically isolated area of Coruscant which neighbored the Senate District, the Temple rested on a large city block in the Temple Precinct. Concealed within the heart of the Temple ziggurat was the upper reaches of the Sacred spire, a towering mountain that jutted from the crust of the planet deep below. The uppermost summit of the mountain erupted from the top of the Temple's base and formed the foundations of its central tower, Tranquility Spire. Surrounding the tallest tower's finned peak were four shorter towers located on the ordinal-oriented sides of the complex. Each contained an austere Council Chamber at its summit and served as the meeting rooms of the four Jedi Councils. The ziggurat shape of the edifice, coupled with the five spires, was designed to symbolize a Jedi's climb to enlightenment through the Force.
The Temple, separated from the surrounding city sprawl by the sprawling Temple Court dotted with bronze statues of long-dead Jedi heroes and scholars, was accessed primarily by the Processional Way. This broad promenade that bisected the Court and led to the stairs of the main entrance was crowned by four bronzium statues. The outer statues depicted Warrior Masters with their lightsabers ignited, while the two inner statues were depictions of two hooded Sage Masters. Beyond these statues, a series of monolithic pylons stood amid the entrance courtyard. Standing four across and three back, the front pylons were adorned with reliefs depicting the Four Masters; Jedi who helped found the Temple in ancient times. The entrance staircase beyond these pylons led into the Temple's cavernous main hall, which stretched beyond to the formal Great Hall. The main hall's pillars and soaring mezzanines stretched out and around the base of the Temple, connecting with the other three formal entrances and forming the Temple's support structure.
Three other entrances to the Temple was located on the other cardinal-oriented sides of the Temple: the northern public entrance was reserved for non-Jedi visitors and consisted of several public annexes. To ensure the safety and privacy of the Temple, five Padawans were tasked with guarding the Temple during the day, while two Knights would oversee the watch in the evening. All guard duties Temple-wide were overseen by the Jedi Gate Master. Following the Temple's destruction during the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Reconstruction Authority recreated the ancient edifice almost perfectly. The stairs were reconstructed without the statues of the Four Masters, while the main hall had extra security systems built-in. Security droids were stored in several pillars along the hall, controlled by Temple Security and programmed to detain any intruders that might break into the Temple.
"Welcome to the Jedi Temple." Ahsoka introduced.
"This is amazing." Darius said in amazement.
"Come, Darius. The Jedi Counsil awaits." Obi-Wan said as he leads them inside the temple.
Once inside, the team was astonished about what they are seeing. Different alien beings wear robes. Twil'eks, Miriams, Mon Calamaris, etc but quarter of the temple was inhabited by humans. Darius smiles as he sees other beings with a proud look on his face.
"If my family was here, they would be thrilled to see this." Darius said.
"OMGOMGOMGOMG!" Ruby said as she flies around like a little bat.
"You dolt! Get back here!" Weiss as she goes after her.
"What's with her?" Ahsoka asks Yang.
"She always gets excited when she either sees weapons or even aliens." Yang said.
"Yeah." Nora said with an agreement.
"I see they are like monks." Blake says in amazement.
"I can sense powerful forces within the Power Primate." Antauri said as he closes his eyes.
"I can feel it too." Chiro said.
"This is amazing." Velvet said.
"Robes? Not bad." Coco said, adjusting her shades.
Darius follows the Jedi before they reach to the Jedi Council at the top of the Jedi Temple. Their several seats the circled the room where the Jedi Masters sit at. In the center is the most powerful Jedi of his time, Grand Master Yoda. Next time him is Jedi Master Mace Windu, one of the second powerful Jedi. The other Jedi Masters, Shaak-Ti, Luminara, and Kit Fisto are there as well. The only few Jedi are absent are Plo-Koon, Ki-Adi, and Koth with they are present only by the hologram.
"Master Yoda." Obi-Wan said as he, Anakin, and Ahsoka bow to the little green master. Darius quickly bows before he tells his team to bow in respect for the masters.
"Return from the mission you have." Yoda said.
"Why does he say like that?" Hayate asked in confusion.
"Shh..." Blake sushes the brunette girl.
"Who are you?" Mace asked.
"Pardon our intrusion, sir. I am Darius Ferrall." Darius said introduced.
"We found him and his team when we were returning from our mission on Dorian." Obi-Wan said.
"How did you find Obi-Wan and the others?" Mace asked Darius.
"We were on our to search for my siblings and the Guardians of Light when we ran into a small fleet of Droid warships. We manage to wipe them all out before Obi-Wan arrived." Darius answered.
"Powerful Force, I sense within," Yoda said.
"I can sense it too, Master." Anakin said.
"Me three." Ahsoka said as she closes her eyes.
"Step forward, Young Ferrall." Yoda instructed. With that said, Darius slowly approaches the Jedi Council before kneeling in respect, "A powerful light, I feel from the Force."
"What does this mean, Master Yoda?" Darius asked.
"The weapon you wield. The Keyblade has the Force it has a connection to." Yoda explained.
Darius takes the news calmly and with reaction. Even his team, including Shahra, were shocked about this. The Keyblade has somehow had a connection to the Force.
"Darius, this is amazing. I can feel the connection between the Keyblade and the Force at the same time." Shahra said in amazement.
"The markings you have. The Six Spirit Guardian you are." Yoda said.
"Whoa." Ahsoka said in awed.
Darius then explains the Jedi that he is was told that the Dark Master is planning to forge the X-Blade with 11 of Light and 13 of Darkness. The Jedi receives this explanation with caution and with focus. He also tells them that they Sith or the Separatists are not the only threat. The Heartless are represented.
"We must be on alert about this new threat." Master Shaak-Ti said.
"Even with the other Jedi along with the Clones, the people of Coruscaunt are in imminent danger." Obi-Wan said in agreement.
"What course of action do you propose, Master?" Luminara asked Yoda.
Yoda closes his eyes for a moment before turning to Darius and the Allies.
"Lead the fight, Darius and the Allies will. The Darkness along with the Sith, a threat they represent." Yoda said.
"Darius, we will be able to aid you to stop the darkness. You and your team know about the Heartless." Mace Windu said.
"Thank you, Master Windu. I will free the people from the Darkness." Darius said before he reaches out his right hand and the Six Spirit King Keyblade appears. The Jedi are ready to combat the Darkness.
[Unknown Location]
Meanwhile, in an isolated area, a hooded figure reaches a chamber before a dark portal appears and outcomes none other than Nero.
"Lord Sidious..."
Lord Sidious, the Sith Lord, has been secret, made alliances with his apprentices, knowing one day that the Sith shall rule the galaxy.
"Master Nero..." Sidious said.
"The Six Spirit Guardian is here, but the Jedi are protecting him. You shall test his strength." Nero said.
Sidious smiles wickedly before getting to work to set a test for Darius.
