Blue
Waters: episode #13 Clone Wars
Previously: Obi-Wan went to go find out about these
mysterious battle ships…and finds out about the clones. They have powerful weapons, but they're
quite stupid…stupider than the Maurders themselves, which is pretty low. Obi-Wan reports his findings to both the
Jedi Council and to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He tells Palpatine more than just that…a little about Anakin,
too.
"I'd
better go get Anakin and inform him about this whole mess."
At the same time, Anakin was living at the
Skywalker homestead. Even though he had
only lived there a very short time, a couple of days, it was very clear to
Anakin that Summoner resented him. Their personalities really clashed. Rhun didn't get along with Anakin either. Obi-Wan had left Anakin there because Anakin
had told him it would be all right. Rhun
was setting up some equipment…Anakin came over to help.
"You're doing that wrong," says Anakin.
"How would you know? I don't appreciate you telling me that I'm
doing something wrong when I'm older than you, and I know more. I'm smarter than you, Anakin, so get lost."
"You are not."
"Shut-up."
"Make me."
Rhun came after Anakin and tried to kick him,
but Anakin reacted faster and grabbed the leg and pushed Rhun over. Rhun was
bulging with muscles, and Anakin was little…but he was strong. Owen had a small clash with Anakin…but tit
wasn't bad. Summoner basically could
not stand Anakin. Anakin was nothing
like him. Summoner was a Maurder…and
Anakin was a Jedi-well almost one. Summoner could have become a Jedi himself,
if he had had the interest. Owen was
focused on farming…getting the most out of what he could of the farm. Summoner didn't really care about the farm,
but he did the work. Rhun also did
work, but just enough to get by. Anakin's work was very thorough, although it
was obvious that he didn't like farming. He was a Jedi-in-training. Owen
was hoping that Anakin would stay there instead of go back, although he doubted
it. Anakin's work was very good…a huge help to the farm. Anakin helped out as much as he could under
these couple of days. But now matter
what he did, he'd end up getting under Rhun and Summoner's skin. Owen really trusted Anakin, even though they
had just met. Suddenly, Owen got a call
form his wife.
"Owen,
my dear. I had the baby. It's a boy."
"What should we name it?"
"How about Gryvonbarf?"
"Good idea."
Just after they had finished up,
Summoner got a notice to report to Anuvuin immediately for "The Plan". So he said good-bye to his 3 children,
leaving Tatooine for good for the purpose of living there. The property was then entrusted to Owen, since
he knew more about it. Rhun got mad…he
wanted his own farm, so he moved to Dantooine. Then Obi-Wan came with a draft for both Anakin and Owen. Back to Palpatine. After Obi-Wan had left him alone, Palpatine looks at the shut
door that Obi-Wan had just left through.
"Well, this stinks. Now there's something else in the way, why couldn't the stupid
Maurders just…wait a minute…this may be just what I need. With the Jedi's focus on this, I can rapidly
advance with my plans. (He nods) yes,
this will just have to do…"
(And Palpatine forms a plan.)…Then calls a
special Senate meeting.
"As you all know, there are Maurder
battleships roaming the galaxy. I have
just heard additional information. The Maurder's ships have extremely powerful
weapons and they have excellent armor. They have an army made up of clones. For this reason, I'm declaring war on the Maurders…The Clone Wars. Because of our situation, I feel that it is
necessary for new people in the high office positions. I am appointing Tarkin, (and he lists other
future Imperial officers). Thank
you. There is one other point I would
like to make. They have a huge
army…we're going to need a lot of people. I'm going to have to start a draft, especially on force-sensitive
people. The Maurders have weak minds,
and I've been informed that mind control works well on them. One more thing, I am appointing Obi-Wan
Kenobi as general, since he is the one that learned most of the
information. Any objections to
this?"
No one
felt they could object, so Palpatine closed the meeting, and the Clone Wars had
officially started. Now, next time…back
to Anakin.
Until
next time!
