Chapter 12

As Count Dooku kept running, he reached another section of the ship and kept going. Anakin: "Just where do you think you're going, Count Dooku?"

He turned around and spotted Anakin and Katara. Aggravated, he pushed back with the use of his Force powers and then ran off. Katara and Anakin got themselves back up. Anakin: "Don't let him get away!"

They ran after him.

They chased him into the lower sections of the ship until they cornered him in a large room. Anakin: "There's nowhere else to run, Count. We have you surrounded." Dooku: "Quite the contrary, Skywalker. As you may recall during our previous encounters, you don't stand a chance against me." Anakin: "Hmm, as much as I hate to admit, you may have a point."

Anakin looked around the entire room until he saw a few pipes. Anakin: "Perhaps I can find a way around that."

With the use of his Force powers, he increased the pressure in the water until all of the pipes leaked and water spilled everywhere. Count Dooku chuckled under his breath. Dooku: "Foolish Jedi. Am I that much of a match against you that you plan to flood us in?" Anakin: "Oh, I'm not trying to flood us in, I'm trying to shift this battle to our advantage. Katara, show him what you can do." Katara: "With pleasure!"

Katara stepped forward, then with the wave of her arms, she pulled all of the water up and created a massive tidal wave directly towards Dooku. He stood by and stared out at the water in shock. Dooku: "What the…?"

He was knocked back towards the wall. He got himself back up. Dooku: "What are you?" Anakin: "This is Katara, the Waterbender." Dooku: "The last thing I need is to be upstaged by children, especially after my first encounter with those other 3." Anakin: "I take it you ran into some of our other friends." Dooku: "Those kids were extremely powerful, with capabilities of wielding the elements to their will and I would assume that this girl is one of them, but none of them will stand a match against me."

Count Dooku shot his Force Lightning towards them. Katara then pulled the water back towards her then threw it directly in front of her, blocking the lightning attack completely. All the water in the room turned to steam. Count Dooku then closed up all the pipes with the use of his Force powers. Dooku: "Looks as though you are completely out of water." Katara: "Oh, I wouldn't be too sure of that."

By moving her arms around, Katara managed to turn all the steam back into liquid. Dooku: "What?" Anakin: "Whoa!"

She then tossed some of the water towards Count Dooku, turning it into ice in the process. Count Dooku fought back by shooting more lightning, but Katara blocked it by forming an iceberg in front of herself. The iceberg shattered into pieces. She turned the ice back into water. Count Dooku shot his lightning again, turning the water back into steam. Katara turned the steam back into ice within a split second. He managed to dodge all of her attacks only to be hit by the last blow. Dooku: "Impressive, seems as though you have control over all forms of water, be it solid, liquid or vapors; that kind of influence is unwavering." Katara: "Gee, that's awfully touching for someone who's trying to destroy me and Anakin." Dooku: "Still, that won't change a thing."

With the use of his intense Force abilities, he pushed back Katara. Anakin: "Katara!" Dooku: "I am still more powerful than any of you. You have but witnessed a taste of my Dark power. It seems as though you had the upper hand on me this time only because I was unprepared. The next time we meet, I will be ready for anything and everything you throw at me, be it water, ice, rock, fire or even hot air, I WILL be ready!"

Count Dooku turned tail and ran away. Anakin glared as he watched Dooku retreat then ran towards Katara and tended to her. Anakin: "Are you OK?"

Katara barely managed to get herself up. Katara: "Yeah, I'm fine. That Count Dooku is one formidable enemy."

Anakin looked back towards where Count Dooku ran off to and brought out an intense glare. Anakin: "You have no idea. Come on, let's go find the others."

They soon ran off.

Soon afterwards, Katara and Anakin caught up with Obi-wan, Toph, Zuko and Aang. Obi-wan: "There you are, Anakin, where have you been?" Anakin: "Sorry, we ran into Count Dooku." Aang: "Really? So did we!" Toph: "He tried to destroy us with some sort of lightning ability." Katara: "No kidding, he tried to do the same thing with me and Anakin." Anakin: "It was Katara's quick thinking that got us out of that mess." Katara: "You were the one who provided me with all of that water." Anakin: "I needed you to have enough water to protect yourself from him. That Sith lord is extremely powerful." Toph: "You can say that again."

Soon enough, Ahsoka, Suki and Sokka arrived. Ahsoka: "Hey, guys, what did I miss?" Anakin: "We ran into Count Dooku." Ahsoka: "What? Really? And you guys manage to survive?" Katara: "Yeah, it was a good thing Count Dooku had never witnessed bending or even heard of Benders before." Obi-wan: "These kids really took him by surprise with their bending abilities; the same with General Grievous when Toph and I ran into him." Ahsoka: "What? Grievous, too?" Obi-wan: "Of course. He was more than thrilled to give us a proper greeting." Toph: "You should have seen him. He was this large, spidery guy; the guy's a real monster." Ahsoka: "You…saw him?" Toph: "Not really, but the vibrations he was making told me more than enough about what he was." Ahsoka: "Oh…uh, right." Suki: "So, how are we going to get off this blasted shuttle?" Obi-wan: "Not to worry, I've already contacted the clones. They will be on their way." Sokka: "Wait! Clones?" Anakin: "Yeah, have any of you guys ever heard of clones in your world before?"

Sokka thought for a moment. Sokka: "Hmm…clones…clones…nope, we don't have any of that in your world, at least, before we even knew about this place." Suki: "We already know about your Clone Wars. We've been briefed on what's been going on and quite frankly, we're not happy about everything we've heard. We'll talk about this later." Anakin: "Yes, first, let's try and get out of here." Ahsoka: "Come on. This way!"

And so, they ran off as fast as they could. They arrived at a hanger bay, where another shuttle was waiting for them. Rex signaled them to come. They ran towards him, got into the shuttle and flew out.

Meanwhile, Count Dooku observed them leave from inside the ship. Dooku: "So, the Jedi have managed to befriend others from outside our universe?" Grievous: "That much I already know; their special powers are far beyond anything we could have ever anticipated." Dooku: "Indeed. It seems as though these new enemies have special influences over each of the different natural elements; all of which are very foreign, beyond even any Jedi's capabilities. I have to admit, I underestimated those kids. Luckily, we have a friend from the outside."

At that moment, a dark figure, taking on a familiar form, stood in a doorway behind Dooku. Dooku: "Tell us everything we need to know about these…Benders."

The dark figure spoke in a familiar voice. Figure: "Gladly."

At that time, the shuttle flew away from the fleet. They all stood around and faced each other. Anakin: "OK, so tell us everything that you have heard about the Clone Wars." Ahsoka: "First of all, do you guys even know what the term "clone" means?" Sokka: "Um…well…let's see…it involves…something about…copying people?" Suki: "A clone is a genetic duplicate of a particular person." Sokka: "Oh, yeah! That's right! So, why is this called the Clone Wars?"

Ahsoka, Obi-wan and Anakin looked at each other in a regrettable manner. Katara: "Oh, come on, Sokka! We were all there when he briefed us on this particular subject. These people breed human beings to take part in their war!" Sokka: "WHAT!?" Toph: "Is all of this really true?"

All 3 Jedi sulked. Anakin then looked towards the Clone troopers. Anakin: "Everyone, take off your helmets."

All the clone troopers removed their helmets. As the Benders looked over; they were shocked at what they saw: all of the troopers had the same exact face structures. Sokka: "No way! They all look the same!" Anakin: "Yes…that's how clones are." Zuko: "Oh, my gosh…" Aang: "This is wrong…"

His face grew tense and he looked back at the Jedi. Aang: "Alright! Someone better start explaining! How could any of you have let this happen!?"

The Jedi remained despondent without saying anything for a time. Anakin: "It was the only thing that we could do." Katara: "I think you're going to have to do better than that. What do you mean by "it was the only thing you can do"? Why this?"

They all hesitated for a bit. Obi-wan: "We are currently facing a great difficultly; perhaps one of the most immense issues any Jedi has ever encountered. Our…enemy and Separatist leader, Count Dooku, convinced many star systems to join their movement, making it increasingly difficult for the Jedi Order to maintain peace in the galaxy." Anakin: "We're badly outnumbered and our forces kept dwindling in size." Katara: "You had no control over the situation." Aang: "So, then you decided to use these clones?" Obi-wan: "Yes…and no…" Aang: "Huh?" Katara: "What do you mean?" Obi-wan: "Perhaps you would understand it better if we told you everything."

Obi-wan hesitated for a bit before he began telling the story. Obi-wan: "It all started with an assassination attempted on Senator Amidala." Katara: "Someone tried to kill Padme?" Anakin: "Yes; the first of many attempts. She was brought to the Senate on Coruscant to settle a dispute that involved forming an army for the Republic." Obi-wan: "An army that could help the overwhelmed Jedi in the fight against the Separatists." Anakin: "But then another assassination attempt was made on Padme. We managed to track down the assassin who did it." Obi-wan: "From there, we made an attempt to find out who hired the assassin, but that assassin was killed before we could learn of his identity." Sokka: "OK, is any of this stuff important?" Obi-wan: "This is very important, actually. While Anakin was ordered to protect the Senator, I was sent out to find the man who wanted her dead. My findings led me to a planet masked from the records called Kamino. There, I discovered the entire clone army being manufactured there."

The Benders, Sokka and Suki were very startled to hear this. Katara: "So, the clone army was already being constructed?" Zuko: "Did the Jedi know anything about this?" Obi-wan: "No, they didn't, but I did find that the clones were produced from the DNA of a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. I believed him to be the one who killed his client; the same person he sent out to kill Padme." Katara: "Oh, no, that's terrible." Obi-wan: "Upon realizing that I was on to him, he along with his son, Boba Fett, an unaltered clone of himself, left Kamino. I followed them both to another planet, Geonosis. There, I discovered something far worse than an assassination attempt: a massive droid factory." Anakin: "Such an assembly line could outnumber the Jedi Order within mere seconds." Katara: "In other words, the Separatists could claim victory in this war before it even started." Obi-wan: "Exactly, upon finding out about this, I reported my findings to the Jedi Council, but then, I was apprehended and imprisoned." Anakin: "Afterwards, the Jedi Council set out a team to confront the Separatists on Geonosis. I, of course, left with Padme to try and rescue Obi-wan, but the rescue attempt turned out to be unsuccessful and all 3 of us were sentenced to be executed." Obi-wan: "But luckily, Master Windu and his team of Jedi arrived on the scene to bail us out." Anakin: "We all fought in a fierce battle, but we were seriously outnumbered after they called out their newly manufactured droid army, some of the Jedi were killed and we were on the brink of being wiped out." Katara: "So, what happened next?" Anakin: "Master Yoda arrived with the clone army, just in the nick of time." Obi-wan: "I still remember that day vividly. It was the first ever battle we had along side the clone troopers." Katara: "So, just like that, the clones just arrived? Who sent them?" Obi-wan: "The senate did, of course. They have long debated whether or not to send out an army and they mutually agreed on the newly discovered clones." Sokka: "So, it was the senate's idea to use clones, not yours." Obi-wan: "Correct and we're stuck with this decision until this matter is resolved."

All of the Benders, as well and Sokka and Suki, stood silent. Anakin: "You know, we don't blame you if you judge us badly because of this, but if it's any consolation, Padme had fought to prevent this war from ever happening and she is still fighting to put an end to it. You're not the only ones who are against this." Katara: "No, Anakin, it's OK. We knew what we were getting ourselves into. We were briefed on this because they knew how we would react, and they gave us a choice whether or not to get involved." Anakin: "Then, why did you decide to come?" Katara: "Because, clones or not, we didn't want this world to be eradicated by the Heartless and we're the only ones who can prevent that." Anakin: "That is very noble of you, Katara. Not many people would say that." Katara: "And besides, after actually getting acquainted with you guys, we know that you wouldn't do something like this by choice. I know it's not our place and I know that eradicating the Heartless threat is Priority 1, but maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to help you put an end to this stupid war. That way, you can stop breeding human beings FOR war." Obi-wan: "Well…we'll see…I'm not so sure if you can. This problem is much too immense for anyone to settle. Even the Jedi Order can no longer handle this." Katara: "I'm willing to accept the challenge." Aang: "So am I. This is what the Avatar lives for, after all." Katara: "We did make a pact to help each other, no matter what. This doesn't change anything." Ahsoka: "Oh, yeah, right, we forgot." Toph: "And besides, we like you guys. So, we're more than happy to help you out." Obi-wan: "Well, I greatly appreciate that, Toph." Zuko: "And believe it or not, this isn't the worst thing that we've ever seen; not even close." Anakin: "Oh, I can believe that, Zuko." Ahsoka: "Yeah, so do I."

Suki looked over towards the clone troopers and walked towards them. Suki: "Are you guys OK with being a part of this war? You don't mind doing this, right?" Rex: "Don't worry about us, Miss Suki; it's what we live for. You just need to worry about yourselves." Suki: "Oh…OK…I guess." Rex: "Hey, don't feel too sad for us if we die in this war. It's what we were made to do." Suki: "I still don't like it." Ahsoka: "It's OK, you are entitled to your own opinions."

Each of the Benders looked at each other, concerned.

Later on, they arrived back on Coruscant. There, they met up with Padme on the landing strip. Padme: "Welcome back. Did you enjoy the flight?" Anakin: "Not really, we…had a few encounters with the Separatists." Padme: "What? Really? Are the kids OK?" Anakin: "Yes, they're fine. They surprised our enemies with some of their bending abilities. The Separatists nearly didn't stand a chance." Padme: "Oh, thank goodness." Anakin: "There's something else you need to know." Padme: "What?" Anakin: "They knew about the Clone Wars before they arrived in our dimension." Padme: "Really? You don't say." Obi-wan: "They were displeased about it but they came anyway to protect us from the Heartless threat." Katara: "We don't like what's involved in your war, but we can't risk letting a lot of people succumb to the Heartless over it." Padme: "Thank you, Katara and I don't blame you for how you feel. To be honest, I don't like it, either." Katara: "We know. We heard from the Jedi that you're fighting to end this war. It's not our place but we will do everything we can to help you with that." Obi-wan: "I'm actually glad your world is incapable of something like this." Zuko: "Actually…we are."

Everyone looked at Zuko. Zuko: "I mean, true, we don't have the technology to create clones like you guys can, but we have something close to that in the Fire Nation. Since the beginning of our war, all of our soldiers wore specialized helmets and armor that are all uniform. They were specially made to strike fear in the hearts of our enemies." Katara: "I remember those suits; they're like something out of a nightmare." Ahsoka: "How terrible." Sokka: "You know, those suits that the clones are wearing kind of remind me of those Fire Nation armor, the uniform part, not the "strike fear into the hearts of many people" part, of course." Anakin: "The suits are merely designed for their protection. They come with different atmospheric settings." Obi-wan: "The clones could even survive in space wearing them."

Suki seemed quite intrigued by this. Suki: "Hmm…" Katara: "We also heard that the senate sent out the clones in the last ditch effort to help the overwhelming Jedi in their fight to maintain order." Sokka: "From what we can tell, the Republic was desperate and we kind of understand that. To be honest, we were no different, especially with what we came up with during the Day of Black Sun." Ahsoka: "The Day of Black Sun?" Sokka: "Yeah, it was the day we invaded the Fire Nation on their homeland in an effort to end the war, once and for all." Anakin: "You guys invaded the Fire Nation?" Sokka: "Sure, we brought along a ragtag team of our friends and allies from the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribe to invade the Royal Palace. It was called the Day of Black Sun because the invasion took place during a Solar Eclipse." Ahsoka: "A Solar Eclipse?" Sokka: "Yeah, it's when the moon blocks out the sun and casts a shadow…" Anakin: "We know what a Solar Eclipse is, Sokka! You think we have a particular lifestyle in space and we would have no idea about any of that!?" Sokka: "Oh, right, sorry." Obi-wan: "Where did you kids get the idea to invade the Fire Nation during a Solar Eclipse?" Aang: "From a library in the middle of a desert." Anakin: "Right, you kids risked your necks to find a library in the middle of a barren, hot desert. Sounds kind of pointless to me." Sokka: "Hey! This is no ordinary library! This library was brought in from the Spirit World by a spirit named Won Shi Tong. He took on the form of a giant owl." Ahsoka: "He's one of those spirits you guys were talking about; the ones that take on the form of an animal." Aang: "Right." Katara: "The library is said to contain an extensive collection of knowledge of our world; knowledge that can't be found anywhere else." Ahsoka: "Sounds incredible." Anakin: "OK, I'm…intrigued." Katara: "We looked around and saw a lot of fascinating things. It was there we found out that one of Aang's past lives used to have been left-handed." Anakin: "Way to go, kid; I always knew you were special."

Aang smiled. Sokka: "We originally went there to find a map of the Fire Nation but when we got there, the Firebenders destroyed everything involving their nation." Obi-wan: "I'm not surprised. That was to prevent anyone from using knowledge of their nation against them." Sokka: "Yes, the only thing we managed to find out about the Fire Nation involved a small parchment containing a date and also said "The Darkest Day in Fire Nation History". So we looked around to find out what it even meant." Obi-wan: "And that's when you discovered that the Darkest Day in Fire Nation History involved a Solar Eclipse." Sokka: "Yes! It was literally the darkest day in Fire Nation history; that's because Firebenders lose their bending during a Solar Eclipse!" Ahsoka: "It would make sense considering that Firebenders draw their power from the sun." Katara: "Unfortunately, Won Shi Tong didn't take it very well. After he found out what we were up to, he attacked us." Aang: "For over a century, people from the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation kept coming to his library to find out how they can get the upper hand on one another. Won Shi Tong felt like they were misusing knowledge from his library. He loved knowledge and he loved finding out about new things. He didn't like what people were doing with his collection of information, so he buried his library and forbade anyone from ever coming." Sokka: "When we found the library, it was almost completely engulfed by the sand." Toph: "But the actual inside of that place was still in tack; it was still very much hollow. I checked it myself." Obi-wan: "Of course; you of all people should know that." Aang: "But we were the final straw, so then he sank the library deeper in the sand so that no one would misuse his knowledge again." Ahsoka: "Poor Won Shi Tong. He had the one thing that he loved more than anything being misused by so many people, not to mention that some of it was burned by Firebenders. That had to have been devastating to him." Aang: "I'm sure he would have loved to hear that from you."

Ahsoka smiled. Ahsoka: "So…I guess now, we understand each other a little better." Anakin: "Yeah, right, you kids did sound desperate, to attack the Fire Nation on their own home turf when they were at their weakest." Ahsoka: "So, how did this invasion of yours go?" Sokka: "Not so good. They knew we were coming." Ahsoka: "Oh, it didn't work, did it?" Katara: "No, but it was the closest anyone has gotten to victory. No one had ever made it to the Fire Nation's capital and lived long enough to say anything about it." Ahsoka: "I'll say, that must have been a major achievement on your part, despite the fact that it was a failed invasion plan."

The Benders and Sokka seemed despondent. Suki seemed just as saddened by them as the Jedi and Padme.

Later on, everyone met up at the empty building that Master Windu had told them about. Anakin and Obi-wan already mentioned to the Jedi Council everything that the Benders needed for their training facility. There, the clone troopers came in and brought in all of the supplies and equipment needed. Anakin: "OK, so that's 10000 units of dirt, more than 500 gallons of water, 6 incredibly large heat lamps, and 1 very large space to hold it all in." Katara: "Sounds as though we'll have everything we'll ever need to get this training ground up and running. Thank you again for setting this up, Masters." Mace: "You're welcome, Katara. Now then, a lot of our construction droids have spent many hours building this training facility to your liking. We have several different pipes all over the facility to dispense as much water as you want. We also installed a mist emitter as you have requested to disperse water vapors to your liking." Katara: "Thank you. I appreciate it." Mace: "Toph, we have set up a special machine deep below the surface of the gravel to automatically secrete and fill in any spaces below those rocky terrains, that way it should be able to simulate being on an all terrain field." Toph: "Sweet." Mace: "Zuko, we've installed large heat lamps to emit as much heat as you need without overcooking anyone of you." Zuko: "Thank you." Mace: "And Aang, the room should be large enough so it should contain plenty of air." Aang: "Yes, that's all I need." Obi-wan: "OK, then, this here is the control room. In here, we can change the setting of the training facility to whatever setting you or we would like to have it. We can change it to the environment that would suit each of you Benders best, or we can make it so that environment would not be beneficial to some or most of you. We can make it to suit one Bender, we can make it to suit two Benders, we can make it to suit all of you we can even make it to suit none of you. Depending on what kind of training you kids need, we will adjust the settings to suit that training exercise." Toph: "Alright, enough talk. Let's get this training program started." Kit: "Yes, let's; I have been looking forward to seeing these bending abilities that we heard so much about." Obi-wan: "Sure thing."

Obi-wan walked up to the console and typed on it a few times. Obi-wan: "Now then, if each of you will divert your attention towards that door, it will be able to take you down towards the chamber."

Katara nodded then headed towards the door with Toph, Zuko and Aang.

As they stepped inside and stood in it, the door closed, the Benders were brought down towards the chamber level. Obi-wan: "OK, let's change this to the default setting; the one that will equally benefit each of the Benders."

Obi-wan punched a few keys. The doors below opened, they stepped out and stood ready. As they stood, water began pouring out of the pipes on the far side of each corner of the room, surrounding the entire room. The heat lamps lit up. Mace: "Commence training…now."

With a push of a button, the training battle droids came out from everywhere and started shooting at them. Katara had a determined smile on her face. Katara: "Let's do this!"

Katara waved her arms around and pulled all the water towards her. All of the Jedi Councilmen became shocked by what they saw. Then she unleashed a large whip that slashed through all of the droids near her. Toph ran across several droids, she then raised some of the rocks in front of her and pushed it towards them. Several droids show up behind her, but she managed to catapult them with the use of her Earthbending. Zuko, surrounded by several more droids unleashed a fire wheel around him then pushed it out and took out all of the droids. Aang stood in front an entire army. As they approached him, he spun around, forming a tornado and then blew all of the droids away.

The Jedi councilmen stood in awe as they watched the Benders unleash their full bending potential. Plo Koon: "This is…incredible. I have never seen anything like it." Kit: "I know, these kids…and their…powers, no Jedi could ever pull off what they can." Yoda: "Incredible powers these younglings have. Known what a Bender was or what skills they were capable of I could not have." Obi-wan: "I know what you mean, gentlemen, I was shocked the first time I witnessed it." Anakin: "So was I, but we got use to it. You will, too." Mace: "So this is what bending looks like. How is it they are able to carry out these special powers?" Obi-wan: "They mentioned to us something about chi; how they can manipulate their own chi to interact with the environment and control them to their will." Mace: "Hmm…I'll need to look into this…Chi, let's focus on the matter of their…Keyblades. You described to me that these key-like weapons are the only weapons powerful enough to destroy these Heartless, as you called them." Obi-wan: "Yes, much like Ansem and the Heartless, the Keyblades were also created out of pure fiction. From what they have told me, there have been many weapons that can destroy the Heartless but Ansem modified the Heartless so that they are immune to all other weapons, all but the one that could utterly destroy them." Anakin: "And that would be the Keyblades." Mace: "Hmm…" Yoda: "Adapting to different environments these kids are capable of. Mention this you did, yes?" Obi-wan: "Yes, when involved in a new environment, they learn to adapt their own skills to what works best for them in that particular setting. For example, Toph taught herself how to bend metal as though it is part of the earth. She managed to bend the metal haul around her and used it as a weapon. She was even bending General Grievous considering that he does have a metallic body." Mace: "Those kids went face to face with General Grievous!?" Obi-wan: "And Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress. They surprised each and every one of them with their bending abilities. I was especially impressed with the way Zuko redirected Count Dooku's own Force Lightning." Mace: "Firebenders can bend lightning!?" Obi-wan: "Apparently, so. I was startled the first time I saw it." Anakin: "Wait, what? You never told me Zuko can bend lightning!" Mace: "We'll discuss this later. I want to see how well these Benders' adjustment capabilities are."

Master Windu walked up to a microphone and spoke in it. Mace: "Ahem! Attention Benders! I need to test how well you can adapt to certain situations. In order to do that, I need you to do exactly what I tell you to do. Let's see how well you can fight without your bending. Fight only with your Keyblades." Katara: "Right! Everyone, you heard Master Windu, no Bending, fight only with your Keyblades." Aang: "Right!" Zuko: "Got it!" Toph: "OK!"

They then summoned their Keyblades and took on the droids. Mace: "Incredible! These kids are impressive even without the use of their bending!" Obi-wan: "Indeed, they are." Mace: "OK, let's try something else."

With a push of a button, stronger droids appeared. Mace: "Attention, Benders! Put away your Keyblades and fight only with the use of your bending."

They put away their Keyblades and went back to fighting with only their bending. As they fought, they initiated different bending upon realizing that their basic forms had no effect on the droids. Mace: "Hmm…very interesting. They readjust themselves to use more advance skills after realizing that their basic skills are ineffective." Kit: "It's obvious these kids understand what they are up against." Yoda: "Indeed. Learn new tricks they do in the middle of a battle." Mace: "Yes, but let's see how well they combine their bending skills with their Keyblades. Benders! Change tactics, this time fight with both your bending and your Keyblades."

They summoned out their Keyblades, as they watched, the Benders combined their Keyblade skills with their bending. Mace: "Most incredible! Using both their bending and their Keyblades together increases their strength." Obi-wan: "Yes, indeed they do." Mace: "OK, I've seen enough. Let's bring them back now. Alright, kids, that will be enough training for today. Return here now."

They stopped fighting, put away their Keyblades and headed back to the elevators.
