Elseworlds pt 1! If you have not read Windcaster, Esinon is now eighteen, General of the 221st, a Jedi Knight, and master of a togruta boy named Paris. Her commander's name is Bo.
"Why is it fair that the Jedi get all the power, and we just have to listen?" Lance asked,
"Because the Jedi are loyal to the Republic, and so are we," Fives said a little confused by his question. "The Jedi are good people, just look at General Skywalker."
"I know, but what if the Jedi are wrong. Like General Krell." Lance argued, Jesse shuddered a moment, not wanting to think about Umbara and his almost execution.
"That was one time, besides all the other Jedi have proved themselves. They care about the lives of clones, take General Windcaster or General Kenobi. Both of them have almost died saving clones lives, a lot of times." Fives said,
"You must put your personal feelings aside for the mission. The Jedi are good people, now get back to work." Rex interrupted,
Later that night…
Everything was quiet on board the Resolute. Ever since he was a cadet, he never had trusted the Jedi, just blindly following orders it didn't make sense. The Jedi could kill a clone with one fell swoop of their lightsaber, something had to be done, he had to save his brothers. If only he could get the power that the Jedi had for himself,
"Lance," A deep voice called, he grabbed his blaster whipping around,
"Who's there?" the dark hallway illuminate, a towering black man stood, with a cap flowing off his shoulders and a large book under his arm.
"I need your help, Lance,"
"Tell me who you are right now, or I'll blast you." Lance threatened, placing his finger on the trigger. His blaster fell to pieces in his hands,
"I am something beyond your comprehension." his voice echoed, walking forwards. "I've traveled far to this place and time to lay this precious burden at your feet." he offered the book out to Lance. "Use this book to reshape the galaxy as you see fit. Show them what a real god can do, Lance." Lance tentatively reached out, taking the large book from the man. He could already feel the power in his hands,
"Why me?" he asked,
"You have vision. That book holds the key to your transformation, Lance, all you have to do is open it." he said, Lance opened up the book, a glowing white light flooded the dark hallway, "Use it wisely, Lance. The universe is in your hands."
"I can see everything," Lance whispered,
"And a word of advice: think big."
The next day…
"So what happened on your most recent trip?" Fives asked, setting his tray down.
"Well, Barry and I took a trip to Earth-38. I met Kara's cousin, Clark, or Superman. The dude is massive,"
"So there's a Supergirl and Superman?" Tup asked,
"Yeah, it's pretty cool. Brainy said I was a level two intellect. He likes to brag about how he's a level eleven, but I'm pretty sure he is part android." Esinon said,
"Pretty cool General," Lance said, setting his tray down. A few men from the 221st joined them, she and Anakin were out on assignment together this week. "So remind me, who all is in the… Justice League, right?"
"Yeah, it's a pretty cool name right? It's me, Cisco, Caitlin, Oliver, Barry, Kara, Dig, Sara, Nate, Mick, Amaya, Jax and Professor Stein, former, Thea, and we're thinking about inducting Ralph and possibly Clark."
"Wow, that's a lot," Lance remarked,
"Yeah I really love it there, if I was gonna get stuck anywhere I'm glad it was Dimension 1," she said,
"Esinon, we have to report back to the council," Anakin said walking past her table,
"Alright I'm coming," she said getting up, "See ya later guys." Anakin started up the hologram,
"Our campaign on Felucia went well, we managed to take the Capital," Anakin said,
"Very good Skywalker, now head to the Ottega system, Ithor. We have intel that General Grievous is hiding out there." Master Windu said,
"Yes Master," he said, finished the transmission,
"I'm gonna head to bed, see you in the morning," Anakin said,
"Yeah I gotta get Paris to bed and run a few things over with Bo and I'll be heading to bed too," she said, yawning.
"Well get ready, I have no idea when we're gonna arrive in the Teth system," he said walking off,
"Yeah I got it," she mumbled, she soon found Paris, tucking him in for the night. "Be ready bright and early buddy," she said rubbing the top of his lekku, he nodded tiredly. Esinon walked down the halls, finding Bo and quickly briefing him, telling him to spread the word. She went to her quarters, something was happening, but what?
The next morning…
Esinon rolled over at the sound of her comlink buzzing, she sat up in bed, groggily grabbing it off of her desk.
"Windcaster here," she mumbled, rubbing her eyes,
"Fives, where are you?" Jesse asked, she could sense something wasn't right, but it was instinct, the force wasn't here! She jumped up out of bed, she hit her head on the ledge,
"Ow!" she yelped,
"Fives, are you ok? Where are you?"
"Why do you keep calling me that?" she asked, rubbing the top of her head. She looked down at her clothes. She was dressed in clone issued black jumpsuit, with the symbol of the Republic on the front, "What the-"
"It's your name… you'd better hurry. The General's gonna have a fit if you don't get down here soon." he replied, sounding slightly anxious.
"Huh? I'm the General." Esinon said, getting more and more confused by the second.
"Very funny, and I'm Superman. Hurry up and get dressed and get to the bridge stat." Jesse said, ending the transmission. Esinon looked around, these weren't her quarters, these were clone quarters. She quickly ran into the bathroom, her brown eyes staring back at her. Not a clone. She walked back out pushing open the closet, blue ARC trooper armor hung there,
"What in the far reaches of the force…" she murmured, well, the best way to find out was going on was to get to the bridge. If she wasn't General, who was? She finished strapping her kamas around her waist, this was a two-man job. How did the clones do this every day? She placed her helmet over her head and rushed to the bridge. She fell into place next to Jesse,
"ARC trooper Fives, where have you been?" Anakin asked,
"Uh… I… um-" she stammered,
"Well, do you have an answer?" Anakin asked again,
"I-uh, overslept?" she asked, not sounding too convincing.
"Enough excuses, it's time to start acting like an ARC." Anakin said, turning around, "Now, we're searching for General Grievous here in Ithor. We have intel that he's hiding out here. Fives, you take Jesse, Kix, and Tup on speeders to search the southern plain sectors. Rex, you take Charger, Denal, and Circo and check the northern mountain ranges, the rest of you will come with me and we'll search the forest." Anakin explained, "Everyone understand?"
"Sir yes sir," they all responded. If she was in the 501st and she was Fives, then maybe Fives was her. She needed to get to the 221st, find out for sure. But how was she supposed to get out of here if she had Anakin and Rex breathing down her neck with this mission?
"Fives, you feeling ok?" Rex asked, the troopers starting to leave the room,
"Uh… I didn't get enough sleep." she muttered,
"Stay sharp, especially with General Grievous running around," Rex said, nudging her.
"This is so weird," she mumbled, she needed to find a way to get out of here now.
On the Duchess…
Fives was knocked to the floor, sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Come on Everest, is that all you've got?" Bo asked, still placed in a ready stance,
"What?" he asked confusedly,
"Get it together Windcaster," he replied, Fives jumped to his feet, throwing a punch. Bo threw another punch, they continued to spar until Fives managed to knock Bo to the floor. His senses felt dialed to a million, he could feel everything.
"I'm Esinon Windcaster," he mumbled, looking down at his hands, he was still him, but now he had all of General Windcaster's powers.
"Yeah, I'll say," Bo muttered, climbing to his feet,
"I'm Clairvoyance." he said, getting a large smile on his face, the reality of the situation set in, "Holy kriff." Winter looked up from his datapad,
"Your adrenaline levels are off the charts. I want to run a diagnostic," he said, Fives looked down at the heart monitor on his chest.
"That might be a good idea," he said, the three of them walked to the medical bay. Fives sat down on the white bed, Winter waved a sensor over Esinon.
"Well, everything seems fine. No anomalies." he said, "Must have just been an adrenaline rush from the fight."
"Are you sure? No brain tumor, no nothing? Are you sure that there's nothing wrong?" Fives asked, he really couldn't be Esinon, this was just a weird dream.
"Yeah General Everest, you're in perfect health," Winter said, putting his equipment down.
"We know, he just absolutely decked me," Bo said, Fives shook his head, this couldn't be right. As cool as this was, he needed to find General Windcaster,
"Ya know, I think that I'm gonna go back to my quarters and… think," he said, getting up. He began to walk out of the medical bay, he could sense people staring at him. He turned around seeing Bo and Winter staring at him,
"Are you ok?" Bo asked,
"Yeah, I just need to see if I can get ahold of Gen- Fives," he said, he used the speed to run off.
Back on the Resolute…
Esinon climbed into the gunship, on the one hand, she felt the need to finish this mission, but she needed to get to Fives and see if she could get him down here. The gunship landed, she, Kix, Jesse, and Tup got onto speeders heading to the plains. She looked up at the red skies, crackling with lightning, that was weird. Her comlink buzzed,
"Wind- Fives… here," she said,
"General Windcaster, is that you?" Fives voice asked,
"Fives! It's good to hear your voice, weird question. Are you me?" she asked,
"I was just about to ask the same thing. People keep calling me Everest Windcaster, and I don't know what to do," he replied,
"Ok, well, tell Sparrow that you have been ordered by the council to bring the Duchess down to aid us. We're on Ithor, I'm in the southern plains."
"Copy that General," he responded, the transmission ended. She quickened her pace, pulling ahead. It would be a while before Fives would get here, so just continue with the mission.
One hour later…
"Fives, get back here with the men. There's no sign of Grievous anywhere." Anakin said,
"Yes sir," she replied, turning her speeder around, with Tup, Kix, and Jesse close on her tail. She looked up at the sky, seeing the Duchess pulling into the atmosphere, "Finally." Soon they had made it back to meet up with the rest of the 501st, the Duchess landing on the planet surface. Fives walked out with Bo and Paris close on his tail.
"General Skywalker, hello." Fives greeted,
"Everest, what are you doing here?" Anakin asked,
"Uh- the Jedi council ordered Fives to come with me," he replied,
"Well, you heard him Fives, get moving," Anakin said,
"Yes sir," Esinon ran catching up with Fives, Paris, and Bo.
"Nice armor," Fives mumbled,
"Yeah, yeah, let's get to the training room," Esinon said, as they walked back up the catwalk.
A few minutes later…
Fives was busy going up and down the salmon ladder while Esinon paced back and forth.
"This can't be a coincidence. There-there has to be a reason behind this, which means that someone has to be responsible. It could possibly be a Separatist attack, we need to know who- hey, can you- can you not do that?" she asked getting frustrated by the banging of the bar against the salmon ladder. Fives jumped off, with a huge smile on his face with his increased strength.
"Man, what a crazy situation this is." he said, "We didn't switch bodies though. Wait, where's a mirror?"
"Focus, just for a second, humor me here. Because the galaxy thinks that I'm Fives and your Esinon and we don't know why. I would really like to know."
"Totally,"
"Is that cool?"
"Yes, sir,"
"Thank you," she pressed a button on the hologram, a picture of her and Echo appeared,
"Weird," he mumbled, the picture switched, with a photo of Fives and the Chancellor, with a headline that read, General Everest Windcaster recognized by Chancellor for bravery.
"Hey! The Chancellor!" Fives said, chuckling,
"Just if you could- just for 90 seconds of seriousness," she said, getting increasingly frustrated,
"You gotta admit this is a little cool, I can lift like three times my body weight now," he said, crossing his arms,
"Yeah, we need to fix this right now. I will find this all a lot cooler when I wake up in my own bed tomorrow morning," she said,
"Alright, alright, fine." Fives said, "So how?"
"We find Master Kenobi and Skywalker, and Rex and Bo. If we tell them, then we'll be able to find out what's going on with us."
A few hours later…
Fives and Esinon sat in the medical bay, after having explained everything to Obi-Wan, Anakin, Rex, Bo, and Paris.
"So you believe you are not Fives, but he is?" Paris asked, pointing from Esinon to Fives,
"Yes," Esinon replied,
"Everest, is this some sort of inter-dimensional jumping doppelgangers thing?" Anakin asked,
"No, and it's Esinon." she corrected,
"I was talking to Everest," Anakin said,
"I am Everest!" she shouted,
"Yeah, and I'm Wild Dog." Bo scoffed thinking about the stories Esinon had told him about dimension one.
"Easy, Wild Dog," Paris said,
"Sarcasm," Bo replied, Rex, picked up some medical equipment,
"Do you mind if I…?" he asked Fives,
"No, not at all," he said, both Rex and Bo waved scanners over Esinon and Fives.
"Fives' brain scan is perfectly normal." Bo said Esinon sighed, getting increasingly more frustrated, "No signs of hypnosis or psychic interference."
"So is Everest's," Rex said,
"Guys, come on, this is crazy." Obi-Wan said, "There's no way that this is real. Fives isn't force-sensitive like Everest, and I've known him since he was very little, and I trained him."
"Master, you really don't believe me?" Esinon asked, sadly,
"We're telling the truth. Okay?" Fives interjected,
"Something is very, very wrong with reality," she added,
"Alright, team meeting, Fives, Everest, stay here," Anakin said, Esinon rolled her eyes.
A few minutes later…
Everyone still thought they were crazy and refused to help them, Fives walked out towards the bridge, with Esinon chasing after him.
"Ok, they aren't gonna help us. We have to find another option," he said,
"They'll help us, they'll help us." she said, she spotted Master Kenobi standing in the common room, "We just have to get Master Kenobi on board first,"
"Good, fine, how- how are you going to convince him?" Fives asked frustratedly,
"I'm not, you are," she said, placing her hands on her hips.
"He's your master!" Fives shot back,
"I know! I don't like this any more than you do. You gotta tell him how he's like a father to you. Tell him that it's the will of the force you met." Fives rubbed his eyes, he laughed for a minute before realizing she was serious.
"No, no I'm not saying that," he said,
"That's an order," she growled,
"Fine," Fives grumbled, walking over to Master Kenobi, "Mind if I join you?"
"That's fine," he said, "So you really think you're Fives?"
"Yeah," Fives said, rubbing the back of his head. Master Kenobi looked back at Esinon who quickly turned around staring at the wall.
"Whatever is going on, we're gonna fix it." Master Kenobi said,
"What?" before Fives could even react, Obi-Wan pulled out a syringe stabbing it into his thigh,
"Sorry," he said, as Fives passed out. Esinon turned at the sound of the thump on the floor, no Fives,
"Come on," she mumbled, exasperated, she turned around to get out, but Anakin came around the corner socking her in the face. She fell to the ground unconscious.
"Sorry Fives," Anakin said,
A few minutes later…
Esinon blinked her eyes a few times, her fuzzy vision coming into focus. All of her memories came flooding back, she looked around, she was in a cell on the Duchess, in handcuffs.
"Oh no. Guys! Come on!" she yelled up into the cameras, "Let us out of here!" Fives's eyes opened at the sound of her yelling, he quickly assessed the situation.
"Why are we in the prison on the Duchess?" he asked annoyedly,
"It's not a prison, it's a holding cell." he glared at her, "Ok yeah it's a prison. We just need to convince everyone that, we're not crazy!"
"How? How do you suggest that we do that? Because everyone in this galaxy thinks that we're each other." Esinon paused thinking,
"Wait, that's it,"
"What?" Fives asked confusedly,
"Maybe it's just this Dimension that's been affected. If we can get to my quarters and get my extrapolator we can breach ourselves to Earth-1. Barry will know how to help us, if he remembers us."
"Ok, well you skipped the part about how we escape," he said, Esinon looked out the rey shielded door,
"Ok, so these cells are also designed to hold Jedi, if one of us ever went rogue. There's a control panel on the other side of the door, you need to use the force to override it," she said,
"Well I can't do anything with the force inhibitors in this cell." he said, "Where's the toilet?"
"Uh uh, you can hold it." she said, he gave her a look. "Oh, you want to back up the pipe."
"And overload the dampers yes," she kicked a panel in the wall, a metal toilet coming out. She pulled off the panel to a bunch of wires, she paused,
"One problem, I'm not gonna be able to get to the valve with these on," she said holding out her cuffed hands.
"You're gonna have to dislocate your thumb," Fives stated matter of factly,
"Are you crazy? I'm-"
"I'm not crazy, you need to dislocate your thumb. Just apply pressure to the joint." she placed her thumb over the joint on her opposite hand and began to tentatively press,
"I'm gonna break my hand," she said, stopping,
"No your not. Because in this reality, your ligaments have been stretched and conditioned in the art of escape by your years of training on Kamino. It's one of the reasons you're an ARC. Now woman up, apply pressure to the joint, and dislocate your thumb!" Fives said, getting frustrated, Esinon placed her thumb over her opposite joint and pressed hard, her hand crunching slightly, she grunted as her thumb went loose. She pulled it out of the cuff,
"It worked!" she said happily,
"Yeah," Fives said sarcastically, she reached into the toilet pulling the pipe. She pulled it out, shaking the water off of her hand,
"Now just give it a second," the toilet sparked and smoked, a load whir sounded over their heads,
"Inhibitors are down, now what?"
"Use the force to override the panel," she said,
"Right," he said, he reached out a hand towards the wall,
"Do you want any advice, because if you do this wrong you could put the whole-" Fives started laughing, "What, what are you laughing at?"
"I just realized- how ridiculous your thumb looks, holy kriff," he said, in between chuckles, turning his attention back to the wall. Esinon held up her hand looking at her loose thumb, hanging from her hand. She quickly popped it back into place, "I didn't realize mine looks like when I do it." he waved his hand over the spot where the panel was. She heard a satisfying click as the rey shield fell,
"Let's go," she said, as they snuck out.
A few minutes later…
They finally made it to her quarters,
"Let's get the extrapolator and go," she said, starting to turn over her room.
"I can't let you do that," Master Kenobi said, standing in the doorway, holding the silver device up.
"Master, please, I know this is weird, but somewhere inside you can sense we're telling the truth. That it's me, Esinon." she said, Obi-Wan looked at Fives who nodded, "Do you remember when we were at the citadel. And I lied because I wanted to come along, and you said…"
"It is the will of the force you are at my side," he said,
"Yes, now please, I need you to believe me." she begged, "It has always been the will of the force that I've been at your side." he held out the extrapolator,
"Go, quickly, before I change my mind." she took it, Fives grabbing their bag of equipment, and calling her lightsaber into his hand, she opened the breach,
"We'll fix this, I promise," she said, as they stepped into the breach.
Earth-1…
"Dad, I've already learned this stuff!" Nora complained as Barry wrote down another equation on the clear board.
"Review is always good, we're on page forty-eight," he said, still focused on the board, the intercom crackled to life.
"Barry, we've got a bank robbery on fifth and Hoyt." Iris's voice called, Barry sighed,
"Stay here, solve this problem, I'll be back in a second," he said,
'Fine," Nora grumbled, the blur of yellow lightning zipped out of the room. She focused her attention back on the problem, half-heartedly making an attempt to solve it. A woosh sounded next to her, two people hopped out of the swirling portal, she screamed in surprise, holding up her calculus book up threateningly,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we come in peace!" the woman said, putting her hands up.
"Who are you?" she asked, moving the book back and forth from the man to the woman, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin, Ralph and Sherloque came running in,
"Nora, what's wrong?" Iris asked she looked up to see Esinon standing there, with an unfamiliar man next to her. She was wearing strange-looking armor, "Hang on, these are friends." Cisco pulled the book out of Nora's hands.
"This is Esinon, and a friend, I'm assuming," Cisco said,
"So you can tell that I'm Esinon, and he's Fives?" she asked,
"Yeah, but we haven't met… Fives," he replied,
"Right, I'm Fives," he said, introducing himself,
"Are you one of those clones?" Ralph asked, still new to most of Esinon's dimension.
"Yes,"
"Hang on, why didn't you think we'd recognize you?" Cisco asked,
"Oh, well," Fives held out his hand, lightning crackling over it.
"Well, that is new," Iris said, staring at his hand,
"Hang on, your Esinon Windcaster, Clairvoyance, Esinon Windcaster?" Nora asked,
"Yes, and who are you?" Esinon asked,
"I'm Nora, I'm Barry and Iris's daughter from the future. I've read all about you!"
"Where?" Esinon asked Barry had a lot of explaining when he showed up,
"In the flash museum, there's a whole section for you! You were dad's OG super friend! " she said, getting more and more excited.
"We could use your guys' help," Esinon said,
A few minutes later…
Esinon finished explaining her story to Barry,
"I'll be right back, I gotta get Oliver," he said, he zipped off returning with the Green Arrow. Fives stood up in shock at the speed,
"Hello Oliver," Esinon greeted, she looked over at Fives who's chest had swelled, "Are you puffing out your chest?" she whispered,
"Yes," he whispered back, feeling threatened by a bulky, towering, Oliver.
"So I'm guessing you guys are here because you switched lives?" Oliver asked,
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Fives asked,
"And are there some crazy red skies?" Barry asked,
"Yes, is there something I'm missing here?" Esinon asked,
"The same thing happened to us a while back," he answered,
"Well, this means, the monitor could be back at work," Oliver said,
"The who now?" Fives asked,
"Some sort of cosmic being. Anyway, apparently there's this crisis coming and he's testing heroes. Obviously, he's picked you two to test." Oliver said,
"Didn't you destroy the book?" Barry asked,
"I did, but I wouldn't put it past the Monitor to have created another one. We've got an entire galaxy of people to search." Oliver said, already trying to formulate a plan.
"Ok, you know what, while you guys figure out whatever little secret party you're having with this cosmic being, I'm gonna go try and figure out my new powers," Fives said getting up,
"Yeah, me too, find me when you guys have all of your thoughts together." she agreed, following her friend out.
A few hours later…
Esinon fired another shot hitting the target Fives had set up,
"Come on, all you've been having me do is shoot targets all afternoon," she grumbled, Fives rubbed his face,
"Well unless targets can change the very fabric of reality to make us switch lives, you need some actual combat training," he said,
"I already have combat training, I'm a General for a reason." she retorted,
"Your only a General because you're a Jedi." Fives snapped,
"Fine, run over there and I'll try to hit you," she said, flipping the blaster to stun. He rolled his eyes taking off into the tunnel of the speed lab, she held up her blaster as she watched Fives raced around the track. Hold, hold, hold, he came racing out, she fired a blast hitting him square in the chest. He collapsed to the floor, groaning, "You know, if I was only a General because I'm a Jedi, I wouldn't have been able to lay a finger on you." she placed the blaster in the holster and walked out of the room. Fives placed his hands over his face frustratedly, he just wanted this to be over.
A few minutes later…
Esinon sat staring out at the rushing streets of Central City, Fives walked in sitting down next to her.
"I"m guessing you didn't come to say sorry," she mumbled, resting her head on her hands,
"I kinda try to refrain from using that word," he said, rubbing the back of his neck, "But I am sorry, just… after Umbara… it's hard for any of us to look at Jedi the same way. We all knew that Jedi were powerful, but all of you were kind and cared about us. It's a big change from the way Kaminoans see us."
"Look, I get it. You were trying to train me the same way that you were on Kamino. I've seen the way they do it there." she replied, "Fives, there's always been something different about you. I've always been able to sense it, if the… monitor is testing us. I would see why he would want someone like you to fight,"
"I think we figured it out," Barry interrupted, both of them turned their heads, "So it's possible someone has the book, unless it was forever destroyed. Now, last time we used Cisco to vibe who had the book, but he's kinda out of commission with the vibes."
"Hang on, there's a power in my dimension like Cisco's. It's called sense echo because you can see an echo through the force." Esinon said,
"Can you use it?" Fives asked,
"No, but I have some friends who can," she said, a swirling breach opened, and Rex stepped out taking his helmet off. Oliver looked from him to Fives and back,
"Hello, Fives… Everest…" he said, trying to wrap his head around the switch.
"So you believe us now?" Fives asked,
"We all do."
"I've seen a lot of weird stuff… but I never thought I'd add clones to the list." Oliver mumbled,
"Sorry we locked you up," Rex said, "If you feel like forgiving us, we kind of have a situation back in Dimension three. Like please, a giant separatist murder bot is rampaging the city." Fives and Esinon looked to each other,
"Let's go, Barry, Oliver, you guys want to come?"
"Sure, why not," Oliver replied, throwing his hands up,
Dimension 3, Coruscant...
Screaming echoed through the streets as they hopped out of the breach. Esinon immediately started a barrage of laser fire, while Fives threw a bolt of lightning. Jedi and the Coruscant guard were surrounding the area, a giant Separatist droid terrorizing the streets,
"Pretty gutsy trying to attack Coruscant!" Esinon shouted, they were simply trying to keep it off balance, she looked up, a glass panel in the droid. "Someone's inside controlling that thing."
"Ok, how do we get to it?" Fives asked, ducking another blast.
"I can't, but you can. Use your speed to get to the top," she said, diving out of the way of more laser fire.
"Ok, ok, ok, just running up the side of a psycho murder bot. No pressure," Fives mumbled, taking off running, he dashed up the side of the droid, getting on top of the head. He stumbled and rocked as the droid flailed, he pulled out his lightsaber, igniting the golden blades, he began cutting a jagged circle in the head, dropping through. The commando droids turned around from what they were doing,
"Hold it right there!" one of them shouted, Fives threw the lightsaber, stabbing one through the chest, he called it back his hand, slashing through the other two.
"Wow, that was cool," he muttered, running over to the controls. He paused for a moment, in this reality he was Esinon Windcaster, tech genius. He concentrated, overriding the bot, a loud whir sounded as the bot shut down, he could hear cheering outside. He climbed out of the droid and waved slightly to the cheering crowds below.
A few minutes later…
"Great work Everest," Rex said,
"Again, it's Esinon, and I'm Fives," he said, exasperatedly,
"I dunno guys, you ran as fast as Esinon Windcaster would and you had the marksmanship of an ARC trooper," Anakin said,
"I mean, would it really be that big of a problem, if you two didn't switch back," Bo said,
"No, no, no, no, we need to figure out who did this to Esinon and Fives and fix it," Obi-Wan said,
"What about that friend?" Fives asked,
The Jedi Temple…
The three walked up the steps of the temple,
"Ok when we get up here, you have to tell the guards that you have clearance to bring both of us in. You have to show them your lightsaber first as identification," Esinon said, they made it to the entrance of the temple as four temple guards came to meet them.
"Hello," Fives held out Esinon's lightsaber, "I've been given clearance to bring in Fives and this is Barry. The council needs to see us immediately," he said, puffing out his chest a little bit. The guards examined the lightsaber for a minute, before letting them inside.
"Alright, let's go," Esinon said, leading the way,
"Who exactly are we looking for?" Barry asked,
"Cal Kestis." Soon Fives, Barry, and Esinon made it to the dojo where the younglings were practicing, she could see a twelve-year-old Cal swinging his practice saber with the others. She knocked on the doorway, Master Yoda looking up.
"Hello Master Yoda, it's a long story, but I need to borrow Cal for like four seconds."
"ARC trooper Fives, doing what here, are you?" he asked,
"Again, long story, I need Cal, it's really important," she said, starting to get antsy,
"Cal," Master Yoda nodded his head, the red-haired boy ducked out of the class,
"Master Windcaster, how can I help you?" he asked staring at Fives,
"Right, so it's a long story, but Fives and I switched lives. We need you to use sense Echo on us to try and give a clue to where the person who's behind this might be." she quickly explained, Cal looked at her confusedly,
"Ok…" he took both Fives and Esinon's hands. He closed his eyes,
Cal could see a black man with a city in the background. He could see a person standing there with him but the bright light from the book he was holding blocked out the person's face. He looked straight into Cal's eyes.
"Such power for a youngling, you are truly impressive Cal Kestis. But none of you can stop what's been set in motion. You're best giving up now because there is nothing that you can to altar what's about to happen." he said, Cal fell out of his concentration. His head pounding and searing pain,
"Are you ok?"
"It's like he ripped me out of there," Cal grumbled, Fives looked into his mind grabbing the image, he did a quick speed sketch.
"That's him," Barry said, staring at the image.
"But where is he?" Fives asked,
"I know exactly where he is," Esinon said, staring at the familiar scape of Coruscant.
