STAR WARS
Mystery of the Triangles
By Anthony Isom
Chapter I
The holographic image became scratchier as Palpatine and the Loyalists Committee watched the man tell of the destruction.
"Glee Anselm.. New ship.. Confederacy.. Surrender.." The man said.
The scratchy holographic image faded away. The members of the Jedi Council gave each other dark, crude looks. The power of the Dark Side swelled in the Chancellor's Office in the Senate Building. Every Jedi in the room could feel the terrible, overwhelming strength of the Dark Side taking over in the office. Senator Padmé Amidala-Skywalker gave Anakin a sidelong look. Anakin returned the look.
Senator Darsana from Glee Anselm rose to speak to the little assembly that had gathered in the Chancellor's Office.
"My friends," Darsana said, "Don't you see? Glee Anselm needs this assistance! The clones must be dispatched to Glee Anselm NOW!!!!"
"Why?" Obi-Wan Kenobi asked.
"What do you mean why?" Darsana replied.
"Hel-lo?" Jedi Master Siri Tachi said, "I mean really? The surface of the planet has been destroyed! What's the point? It would be ridiculous to send clones to a system that has refused to give itself to the Confederacy and has been destroyed!"
"She speaks the truth," Palpatine spoke, "The point is. futile. This we should've been informed of earlier. Then we could've handled the problem. But, our attention turns to other matters. Master Kenobi?"
Obi-Wan pulled out a Holocron that held much information. He set the Holocron onto reader. With a wave of his hand, the Jedi Holocron came on. The image of Jedi Master Bashinan Hodizwen, an old Jedi Historian who had died at the Battle of Kamino, appeared. In the background was the planet of Glee Anselm. He was in a Confederacy Shipyard.
"A new ship has been modeled by the Confederacy!" Bashinan yelled, "It could spell danger for the Republic! It's a deadly ship that can maneuver circles around our Republic Cruisers easily! We must do."
The Holocron was shut off.
"That's all I could get," Obi-Wan told the circle in the Chancellor's office.
"It was enough," Senator Amidala-Skywalker said.
"I concur," Palpatine, agreed, "I believe that something should be done about this."
The Council once again gave each other crude looks. They knew the perfect solution, but it could bring danger for the perfect people that were prepared to do it.
"An idea I have," Master Yoda spoke, "Send Jedi and Clones to Glee Anselm we must!"
"What?" Siri and Darsana shouted at the same time. Anakin and Padmé gave each other looks as if they had expected this from the Council. Obi- Wan gave Darsha Assant, Jedi Master and once Padawan to the late Anoon Bondara and the late Vodo-Siosk Baas, a look of expectancy. The Council had made moves like this before. Many times before had Yoda made these kind of suggestions and the Jedi were used to this type of thing being said.
"But you just said." Darsana started, when interrupted by Yoda.
"Yes, we know," Yoda, continued, "But changed the plans have. Being built is a new ship. Get the plans for this ship we must. Send Obi-Wan we will. He, Anakin, Darsha, Siri, Ferus, and clones. capture the plans they must."
"Then it is settled," Palpatine said, "We shall send them all to Glee Anselm and all will be settled on the system that needs to be settled."
Whispers flew around the room like flies. Every Senator in the room whispered their opinion about the decision. Some just gave each other looks. The Council and the Jedi in the room left, knowing their part of the mission. Padmé, though, was not happy. For her husband would be leaving again. * * *
Anakin's soft kiss brushed up against the her neck. Padmé enjoyed these moments with Anakin. But, she feared, these moments would cease soon. very soon. As Anakin intently tried to show her as much emotion as possible, he felt a disturbance in her emotions. He stopped kissing her and showing affection and looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"You're leaving tomorrow," Padmé responded.
"I know."
"I don't want you to. Let me go with you."
"No," Anakin said abruptly, moving away from her for a moment. He then sat down on the bed again and hugged her, also kissing her.
"I don't think it would be appropriate. Our feelings for each other could cause us to do something that would clue them in on our relationship."
"Alright, I'll stay," Padmé, said.
"Thank you," Anakin said, grinning widely. He gave Padmé a mischievous look. "I'm getting excited."
"So am I," Padmé said, returning the grin.
After a while, they had started their night ritual again. It didn't end until hours on into the night. * * *
Siri had been playing with Obi-Wan's hair for hours into the night. She loved his hair. But more importantly, she loved him. He was so. sweet. But that's not why she loved him. He had shown love to her first, so she felt that she should return it. But, Obi-Wan had a grave look on his face. She kissed him.
"What's wrong?" Siri asked.
"I don't understand something," Obi-Wan said.
"What?"
"I don't understand why I seemed to be picked for all these missions. I'm the head, the leader, and the one who leads the army of Clones into battle. Why?"
"Maybe, the Council thinks that you're a natural leader. I know I do."
"How did I ever give that impression?"
"Remember our first mission together? You led us out of the school on the planet. I always thank you for that."
"Yeah, I suppose I am a leader. But, there are other leaders as well. Look at Darsha; she's been leading her own life for a while now in her own style. She doesn't follow half the rules we were taught as students. She follows the rules of the Old Jedi. Why me?"
"Cause you're the best."
"Am I?"
"To me, you are."
"And you're the best for me too."
The two began to intently kiss each other. The kissing lasted for hours. They were happy together. But the one thing that held them back from being completely happy was the fact that Jedi didn't marry. But their commitment was strong. And nothing. nothing could break that commitment they shared. Not even the Jedi Code. Not even death. * * *
Yoda and Mace Windu walked down the shining halls of the Jedi Temple. This mission would be one of difficulty for the Jedi going. The morning had finally come for the mission and the clones had been prepared. Master Yoda had sensed a disturbance in the Force from this mission, but it hadn't been cleared up yet. The diminutive Jedi Master had tried to think what the disturbance would be, but he hadn't cleared it up. He was tired from staying up all night.
As Yoda and Mace Windu reached the landing platform that had been assigned to the departing army, he saw Padmé Amidala-Skywalker standing there, the wind blowing her auburn curls as she stood peacefully on the deck. Yoda knew that she and Anakin were in love, but she looked extremely sad as if they were attached or something. Anakin stepped up to her.
"I will return," Anakin said.
"I know," Padmé responded.
Anakin boarded the leading Republic Assault Ship with Obi-Wan, Siri, Darsha, and Ferus Olin. Obi-Wan stepped back off the ship though, to remember to say goodbye to Yoda, his closest friend and mentor. As he approached Yoda, he bowed on one knee. Yoda walked closer to him.
"Be safe you will. May the Force be with you," Yoda said.
"May the Force be with you, Master," Obi-Wan said back.
Obi-Wan rose from the pavement. Yoda and Mace walked over to stand beside Padmé. Mace put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. She looked at Mace and then looked at the Republic Assault Cruisers as they lifted off into the sky. They would all miss the Jedi that left on the mission, but they knew in their hearts that they would return. Yet the disturbance in the Force still bothered Yoda. He had to make out what this was or the Jedi on the mission could be headed into unseen danger.
