Kingdom Hearts: The Six Spirit Guardian
Chapter 31: Younglings, Pirates, and Grevious
After returning back to Coruscant, Darius and his new companion the Daughter had escaped from the planet Mortis. Ventress had struck the Father down with the Dagger of Mortis not before the Son attacked the assassin. Without the Father, both the Son and Daughter are both vulnerable. The Son was struck down by Ventress not before saving his own sister so she and Darius could escape.
Darius and the Daughter had made it back to the Jedi Temple and the Daughter was welcomed by the Jedi Council and she's become assistance for the Jedi. She then tells Anakin that he is the Chosen One to bring balance to the Force. However, he is started to trust more to Palpatine more than the Jedi, Obi-Wan, Darius, and the Allies. Even his own wife, Padme. Darius and the Allies had distrusted the Chancellor after their arrival on Coruscant a while ago.
The Darkness is still a threat along with the Dark Lord of the Sith, including Count Dooku. The Council decides that the Younglings will need their training if they are to become Padawans for the Jedi. Master Yoda urges Darius and the Allies to help the Younglings with their progress and training. Darius agreed to leads a small group of allies to help the Younglings. Ahsoka and Bariss had also joined in to help around as well.
His group conscripts of Shahra, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake, Nora, Ren, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ahsoka, and Barriss.
Onboard the Jedi Training Cruiser, Darius, Ahsoka, Barriss, RWBY, and JNPR, watch as a group of Younglings observe one of them spinning his staff as he deflects lasers from a training droid.
The Younglings consists of Petro, Katooni, Byph, Ganodi, Zatt, Gungi.
Petro was a human male Jedi youngling who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. Prior to the end of the conflict, he participated in an ancient Jedi rite of passage, known as The Gathering, to find a kyber crystal—the key component to the lightsaber he would construct after his visit to the planet Ilum. He is confident, wanting to be a Jedi Master so he can take on Grievous.
Katooni was a female Tholothian Jedi youngling who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. Like all Tholothians, Katooni had a scaled scalp, with a dozen pale fleshy tendrils hanging down the back of her head. She was very patient, as shown when she waited to complete her lightsaber.
Byph was a male Ithorian youngling who trained to become a Jedi during the Clone Wars. During the war, Byph and five other initiates were selected to travel to the planet Ilum and take part in the ritual known as the Gathering, where they would locate kyber crystals to use in the construction of their first lightsaber.
A Force-sensitive Rodian female, Ganodi was a Jedi initiate during the Clone Wars. She attended a Gathering on Ilum, where, along with other Jedi initiates, she would find her lightsaber crystal in Ilum's Crystal Caves. Ganodi got frustrated during the process, but finally focused on the Force and found her Kyber crystal.
Zatt was a male Nautolan Jedi youngling who was a member of the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. He participated in the gathering alongside Petro, Gungi, Byph, Ganodi, and Katooni. The six younglings were led by Ahsoka Tano and instructed by Yoda.
Gungi was a male Wookiee Jedi youngling who was training to become a Jedi in the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. During the war, Gungi and a group of five other younglings, (Petro, Katooni, Byph, Ganodi, and Zatt) were deemed to be at the top of their class and, led by Ahsoka Tano and Jedi Grand Master Yoda, they traveled to Ilum to participate in the Gathering; an ancient Jedi ritual that proved a youngling's readiness to become a Padawan.
These five will one day be the future for the Jedi.
Petro spins his staff, deflecting the lasers fired from the practice droid. Darius and the others observed the young boy as he deflects with speed. He finishes the practice before whacking the droid towards the wall. Ruby and Yang were amazed by Petro's performance.
"That's awesome!" Ruby said with excitement.
"Not bad, kid." Yang smirked.
"I call that move, the Whirlwind of Destiny." Petro said.
"Show off." Zatt spoke.
"I'll go." Katooni said.
She grabs the staff before Darius approaches the young girl with a blindfold cloth.
"What's this for?" Katooni asked.
"You will need to use the Force to detect incoming fire." Darius said before he places the blindfold around her eyes, covering them.
"Darius, she is going to get hurt." Fate objected.
"Just watch." Darius said.
Katooni readies herself as the sphere droid approaches her. She can hear the sound from the droid before detecting laser fire from it. She moves her staff in a defense grip and stops the laser. The droid then shoots left for her shoulder, but Katooni quickly deflects it. The droid goes in a routine which allows Katooni to deflect each one of them. Petro and the others watch in amazement as the young Tolothian deflects the lasers from the droid. All of a sudden, the droid catches her by zapping in the left arm. She grunts in pain before the droid stops shooting. She takes off the blindfold before clenching her arm.
"I was so close!" Katooni exclaimed before she looks up and sees Darius who kneels to her level and place a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Katooni. At least you're gaining some experience. Just don't lose focus. When this is over, Antauri and I will help you." Darius spoke.
Just then Ahsoka claps her hands to get the Younglings' attention.
"Attention. Gather around." Ahsoka spoke to the Younglings who get off the table and approach the stand.
"Please place your Kyber Crystals on the table. Your lesson is about to begin." Barrriss said.
The Younglings did as they were told.
"Listen up, guys. You will receive your parts for your lightsaber of your choice. Once you've completed the weapon, you will receive some training in combat. You will not fight not only droids but Heartless who are much of a bigger threat." Darius spoke.
"Heartless?" Ganoodi asked.
"Creatures of the Darkness that are born from one's heart." Shahra spoke.
"You must be on guard at all times." Nanoha spoke to the Younglings.
"This is not all fun and games. Take Ruby for example," Weiss spoke.
"Hey!" Ruby yelled.
"Now then. May we introduce you to architect and lightsaber designer, Huyang." Ahsoka spoke.
The group hears slow droid walking before a droid appears, slowly with his hands behind his back. He looks at the Younglings.
"These are them?" Huyang asked Ashoka.
"Yes, sir." Ahsoka replied.
"But he's a droid. You expect us to learn from a droid?" Ganodi asked.
"Ganodi. You shouldn't judge people by their appearance." Pyrrah spoke to her who lowers her head in regret.
"Many years I have been on this ship, teaching many of the Jedi before you and I will continue teaching many Jedi after you. Call me what you want, but inside my memory banks, I contain a record of every lightsaber that ever made and the Jedi who fashioned it." Huyang spoke before showing Darius, the group, and the Younglings an image of the lightsaber designs. "It is my job before you leave this ship, you will have everything that you need to build your lightsaber and the knowledge of how to do it. So, let us 's work to be done."
Darius, Ahsoka, Barriss, and Team Remnant, knew that the Younglings are willing to be the best Jedi.
[Later...]
The Younglings had collected the parts they need for their lightsabers before beginning constructing them. They sat down on pillows that Shahra created for them to make it easy. Using the Force, Petro, Katooni, Byph, Ganodi, Zatt, and Gungi carefully, put the pieces of their lightsabers together. Darius, Shahra, and the others observed the children as they almost complete their construction. Petro is the first to complete his lightsaber.
"I am going to be like Obi-Wan one day and I will get to take on General Grevious!" He grinned after he ignited his saber.
Then all of a sudden, his lightsaber flickers before shutting off. Huyang looks at Petro's weapon.
"You've placed your crystal wrong. If it happens again, it may blow your face off." He told him.
"He's right, Petro. Also, you can't have your confidence to take over you. It will get you killed in battle." Darius spoke in agreement.
BOOM!
Everyone fell on the floor from the explosion.
"What was that?!" Yang asked,
"I'm picking up several contacts! They're trying to destroy the hyperdrive!" Shahra informed.
"Without Centuriton nor the Super Robot, we're about to be overrun!" Weiss spoke.
"Then we'll have to fight without them!" Ruby spoke.
"I agree!" Petro spoke.
"All hands to combat!" Darius shouted.
The Heroes prepare themselves just as an explosion occurs. The invaders have boarded the ship. Just as the heroes take positions, the lights to the ship go out and smoke begins covering the entire room. Some of the heroes were soon knocked down and the rest were stunned before being captured. Darius struggles to stay awake before he sees a space pirate approaching him.
"Lights out." He said. He slams a rifle into the forehead of Darius before he loses consciousness.
[A/N: Sorry for the lack of fighting. I will make it up.]
"Wakey wakey!"
A splash of water struck Darius in the face, waking him up. He groans in pain, trying to rub it, only to look and see that his hands are cuffed. He then sees a group of people known as the Weequay.
Weequays were a sentient species native to the desert world of Sriluur. Their tough, leathery skin helped them endure the harsh conditions of their homeworld, while also providing natural resistance to blaster fire, making them ideal bodyguards and bounty hunters. As they evolved under merciless conditions, Weequays vastly served the Hutt Clan as mercenaries, bodyguards, and slaves as the Hutts controlled their homeworld. Some were able to escape those hardships and sought out the Alliance to Restore the Republic and use their skill to bring some good to the galaxy.
"I see that he is awake."
Darius looks up and sees a few Weequays with their weapons. The man in the middle is the leader of a pirate gang.
"I am Hondo Ohnaka. Welcome to Florrum." Hondo introduced.
"What do you want, Hondo? Where are my friends?" Darius demanded.
"Oh, My dear boy. They are perfectly safe. I just wanted to see if your ship has any treasure, but we got nothing." Hondo spoke.
"What do you know? A greedy pirate." Darius muttered.
"Greedy? No, my friend. Not greedy, but more like a passion one." Hondo spoke.
"That's what they all say." Darius spoke.
"Bring him to his feet and release those binds." Hondo orders. His colleagues do so by standing Darius to his feet before they release his bounds but Darius does not do anything. "Come, my friend. We are having a feast."
Darius follows Hondo as he leads them to a feast. He arrives and sees Hondo's pirates and a few Twi'lek women who are servants. Hondo welcomes him and they spoke for a while feasting.
"Ahsoka, can you hear me?" Darius asked in though.
[Meanwhile]
Elsewhere, Ahsoka, Barriss, Petro, Katooni, Byph, Zatt, Ganodi, Gungi, Huyang, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake, Nora, Jaune, and Ren were captured by few pirates while trying to escape. Team Remnant had their weapons taken by they are near them. That is when Ahsoka hears a voice in her head.
"Ahsoka, can you hear me?"
"Darius?" Ahsoka asked telepathically.
"Loud and clear. Where are you guys?" Darius asked.
"I don't know. I believe we're outside the compound of Hondo. Where are you?" Ahsoka asked.
"I'm with the pirate himself. Don't worry. I'll find my way out." Darius spoke.
A pirate who captured them looks out at his binoculars before he spots trouble. Coming down the ramp was an army of droids.
"What the- Droids?" He said as he sees a few pirates confronting them before they were gun down by the droids. This could be only one thing.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Ruby shouted only to be hit in the back by a pirate.
"It's an invasion!" The pirate said.
Ahsoka and the others are shocked about the droid invasion and also Darius is inside.
[Back to Darius...]
Darius just stands there as Hondo and the pirates were feasting. A yellow Twi'lek girl sees him and blows a kiss to him which made him slightly blush.
"Boss! Boss!"
Darius looks up and notices trouble.
"Shahra?" Darius asked the Genie of the Ring in though.
"I know, Darius. The Separatists are here." Shahra replied. "There is a new ability you can use from the Keyblade: Stealth. It allows you to turn invisible. Give it a try."
Darius looks and sees a pirate who had arrived, panicking.
"We're all in trouble!" He shouted before a red bolt strikes him down from behind.
"Stealth." Darius whispered and he turns invisible. He can now see the droids approaching the table and Hondo. Two pirates stood up to stop them only to meet a similar fate. Then he sees none other than General Grievous.
"Hondo..." The droid general spoke to the pirate leader.
"General Grievous I presume?" Hondo spoke, "What a surprise. Have a seat. May I ask is the honor?"
Grevious justs continue to walk towards Hondo, before grabbing him. "You can dispense with the pleasantries, pirate! This planet is now under Separatist control!"
"And what do you suppose that means?" Hondo asked.
"It means you have a new master, pirate scum!" Grevious spoke before throwing Hondo to the ground. He then tosses a device near Hondo who fears of an explosive before a large hologram opens up. It is none other than Count Dooku.
"Hondo Ohnaka, we meet again. As I remember the last time we meet face to face, I was your prisoner and you attempted to bargain me off to the highest bidder." Count Dooku spoke.
"But can you blame me, I mean a Sith lord, what a handsome price you would of-" Hondo spoke.
"Silence!" Count Dooku opposed, "You are going to pay the price for your treachery."
"Well, I am a reasonable man, name the price. I'm sure we work something-" Hondo spoke
"There will be payment, but no deals, only demands. Your entire arsenal will be melted down. Everything you own is now property of the Separatist Alliance."
"Now you go too far, unacceptable! This is an outrage!" Hondo objected, "Grievous points to his bodyguards to contain Hondo. "Now hold on we can make a deal. This is not good business!"
Darius had witnessed what the enemy has done.
"I got to get to the others." Darius said before running off.
[Later on...]
A/N: My apologies for skipping through. This is almost over.
With Shahra, Darius had freed many of the pirates along with his team along with Hondo. They had to escape from the droids and Grevious.
"Prepare to open fire! We will bring down the building on their heads!" Grevious orders.
The droids ready their tanks and open fire on the building, that's when a Firaga flies and strikes at one of the tanks, destroying it. Darius, Ahsoka, Barriss, the Young Jedi, and Team Remnant along with Hondo and the Pirates charged out of the building and attack the droid army.
Darius cuts them down left and right before Force Pushing some Super Battle Droids away. He jumps before crashing his Keyblade into the ground, releasing a blast down, destroying most of the droids in the process. He then joins Ahsoka and Barriss who cut them down with their lightsabers. Team RWBY slashes and shoots their way through the droids as well as Team JNPR. The Young Jedi are bringing the fight to the enemy. The tides turn against the invaders.
"Hang tight, Darius. Help is here!" Shahra said.
That's when a large explosion destroyed most of the droids. Darius looks up and sees none other than Centuritron.
"Centuritron!" Darius shouted with glee.
"Go! We have got you cover!" Centuritron said as he opens fire on the droids.
"Uhh, General there's a giant robot and it is not one of-" The droid said to Grevious before getting crushed at the foot of Centuritron.
"Ragh! Gather the survivors and destroy that droid! I'll deal with the Jedi myself!" Grevious ordered before he gets on a vehicle and speed off.
Darius sees the pirates escaping with speeder bikes. He sees his team before seeing a transport ship with R2 and Huyang.
"Let's go!" Darius shouted. He pulls out his skimmer and tosses it, allowing the vehicle to grow to normal size. He gets on before he feels a hand on his hip. He turns and sees Katooni.
"I got your back, Darius." She said.
"Thanks, Katooni. Hold on." Darius said to her before accelerating.
The heroes and the pirates are fighting their way out from the droids. They reach to a small canyon before meeting up. Ruby keeps shooting her Crescent Rose before she sees something approaching. She looks through her scope before gasping.
Approaching was General Grevious.
"Guys, Grevious is behind us!" Ruby shouted.
Darius looks back and sees the droid general.
"Dammit. We've got to lose him! To the cliffs!" Darius shouted.
They do so before the group splits up from the pirates and Hondo. They then reach to the edges of a cliff before stopping. They get off the vehicles and Darius' skimmer shrinks back down. Darius and Katooni finally see Ahsoka, Barriss, and the others before they regroup.
"Are you guys alright?" Darius asked them.
"We're fine." Barriss replied.
"Guys!" Ruby shouted before the three warriors turn to see none other than General Grievous. The Younglings draw their lightsabers along with Ahsoka and Barriss. Darius stands in front of the two Jedi with his Keyblade drawn out. Ruby also stands in front of the Younglings with her weapon out.
Everyone ready themselves just as General Grevious arrives like a spider before standing on his two feet. He laughs wickedly at them.
"So many lightsabers to add to my collection." Grevious spoke, mentioning to the Younglings, Ahsoka's, and Barriss' lightsabers.
"The only thing you'll be collecting is your own body parts!" Yang opposed.
"I know who you are, General. You're nothing but a living being. I can see it in your flesh eyes." Ruby spoke to General.
"So, you knew all along that I am not a droid, but I am still the leader of the Separatists Forces. Now you shall die!" Grievous said as he draws his lightsabers out. He then splits his arms into two and he ignites all four lightsabers.
"Not today, Grevious." Darius spoke. He raises his Keyblade before stabbing into the ground. A light ring is formed around Darius, Ruby, Ahsoka, Barriss, and Grevious. The others were outside of the ring.
"Ruby!" Yang exclaimed.
They could only watch as the four warriors face off against Grievous.
[Info: Defeat General Grevious]
Grievous roars before running at Darius, Ruby, Ahsoka, and Barriss while spinning his lightsabers. Darius quickly leaps in the air before shooting Thunder. Some of the lightning strike Grevious but the droid general keeps going. That's when Darius lands near Grevious and strikes towards him. The General quickly stops spinning and blocks Darius' attack. Ahsoka, Barriss, and Ruby use this opportunity to attack Grievous, but the droid general stops the three attacks. He pushes all four of them back before going after Ahsoka.
The female Togruta goes on the defense just as Grevious strikes her. With her training experience, Ahsoka manages to hold her ground. Grevious grabs Ahsoka with his metal foot and tosses her behind him. Darius throws his Keyblade and it strikes Grevious in the back, knocking him to the ground. The weapon flies back and Darius catches it.
Ruby charges at Grevious and attacks Grevious only to be swatted away by Grevious. She flies before landing near Barriss. The female Mirialan runs and attacks Grevious as he counterstrikes. She dodges before she and Ahsoka Force pushed him back. He stops by stabbing his lightsaber into the ground. Ruby decides to attack from long range. She uses aims her sniper rifle at the weakness of Grevious. Darius attacks the enemy again as Grevious stops. He then catches him by slicing near his helmet but Darius sees one of his arms and cuts it. He grabs the blue lightsaber before deactivating it and placing it on the belt clip. Ruby then charges at Grevious but he sees her and strikes.
A loud scream was heard before Ruby rolls on the ground, stopping.
"RUBY!" Yang shouted in horror.
General Grevious laughs wickedly as the ring finally dissolves. Yang wastes no time and rushes to her sister. She slowly places Ruby on her lap before she gasps in the horror of what lies in front of her. A burnt scar the scraps near her right eye. She is lucky that the plasma didn't scrap deep into her head otherwise her injuries would have been worse. Darius sees everything before looking at Grevious with an angry look.
"You're gonna pay for that." Darius spoke.
"How quickly this will be over. Now all of you shall die by my hands!" Grevious spoked.
Unknown to Grevious a large figure slowly ascends from behind. Darius and the others look up before and see none other than Centuritron. He shushes them before looking down at Grevious.
"Had enough, Grevious?!" Darius asked.
"You will never defeat Grievous! Never!" Grevious shouted. He runs with his sabers at the Heroes...
WHAM!
A large black robotic fist smashes into the ground. Darius and the others shield away from the shockwave before clearing. The hand moves before seeing Grevious. He is brutally crushed by the weight of Centuritron's hand. Darius nods and Centuritron slams his fist down into the crater where Grevious is at before impact. He does it again one more to finish the job. After three powerful smashes, Centuritron lifts his hand before Darius and the heroes slowly approach the crater. At the bottom was Grevious, beaten, and crushed to death from Centuritron. His face mask was destroyed showing his true form. Flesh.
The others stare at the now-dead general with caution before calming down.
"Is he?" Nora asked before Darius nods in reply.
Ruby slowly wakes but feels pain from her face. She sees Yang who comforts her.
"What happened?" Ruby asked.
"You got cut from Grevious, but he got a handful of pain." Yang replied before helping her back to her feet.
They have done it. General Grevious, Supreme Commander of the Droid Army, and Jedi Killer is finally dead.
"Shahra, bring the body and take us back to Coruscaunt." Darius said.
General Grevious has finally been defeated. The Jedi that he murdered are now avenged. Ruby has survived but she now has to live with the scar for the rest of her life. Shahra created a portal that leads back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscaunt and the heroes including Centuritron walked through.
Before they head inside the Temple, Darius looks at the body of General Grevious.
"Darius?"
Darius looks and sees Katooni.
"Yes, Katooni?" He asked her softly.
"Thank you for the training. I wish I could be your master so you can train me." Katooni said.
"Don't worry. I will talk to the council. When this is over, I'm taking you guys with me." Darius said.
"Thank you, Darius." Katooni said before she embraces Darius in which he returns the hug.
"Also Hondo sent you this." Katooni said before she hands Darius a holographic plaque.
It reads:
""This plaque is to commemorate the brave pirates who gave their lives to keep our planet safe from the Droid Menace. Lest we forget..."
A/N: It is almost done and on to the final world before KH2. No flames allowed. And also only requests are open for the last world before KH2. Also, Darius learns Stealth. He can turn invisible for a short time. He can only go visible if he attacks.
Who rememberes the Spongebob Episode: Idiot Box. This fight scene is similar to Robot Pirate Island.
