"Master, are you ok? Master Koon?" Slowly, Koon opened his eyes. "Your arm was severed." Obi-Wan said. " I know that." Koon retorted. "I can't believe the separatists created a droid that's capable of wielding ten lightsabers." Obi-Wan said. "That's just insane." "Obi-Wan, we must find this Sith as soon as possible." Koon said seriously. "We must destroy the droid device he has. If we don't, the entire galaxy will be attacked by those Ultra Battle Droids." "Ultra Battle Droids?" Obi-Wan asked, confused. "When I was fighting the lightsaber-wielding droid, I noticed the letters UBD on one of its arms. I'm guessing that stands for Ultra Battle Droid." Koon replied. Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard. A female robotic voice said, "Brace for landing." "Strap in." Koon said. The two Jedi jumped into their seats and fastened their seatbelts. There was a big BANG when the pod landed and the two Jedi would have flown out the window if the seatbelts hadn't been there. Obi-Wan unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the pod door. They climbed out and saw the pod was damaged and smoking. "Another happy landing…" Obi-Wan mumbled. Koon gasped when he looked at the Temple. It was on fire! A random man came flying out the Council Room window. A UBD peered out the window to assure the man's death. "I'll show him." Obi-Wan mumbled. He extended his arms and called out to the Force. Then he Force Pulled. The UBD came flying out the window. It landed on top of the man. "Nice Force contact, Obi-Wan." Koon said. "Thanks." Obi-Wan replied. Suddenly, Obi-Wan's intercom beeped in his pocket. "Hello this is General Kenobi." Obi-Wan said into his intercom. "MASTER!" "Anakin! Where are you!" Obi-Wan screamed. "I'M PINNED DOWN IN THE COUNCIL ROOM!" Anakin yelled. "I NEED YOUR HELP DEEPLY!" Obi-Wan flinched at the word 'deeply.' " Are you being attacked by the ten-lightsaber-wielding battle droids?" He asked. "SIX OF THEM!" "Oh….that's not good." Obi-Wan said quietly. "Holy crap that's sixty lightsabers against one." "I KNOW THAT!" Anakin yelled. "I'M GONNA BE BANTHA FODDER IF YOU DON'T HELP ME!" "I would if I could, Anakin, but I can't." "WHY NOT!" Anakin demanded. "Master Koon and I took the escape pod down to the streets of Coruscant." "Tell him to look under Yarael Poof's chair!" Koon whispered. "ANAKIN! DON'T TALK, JUST LISTEN. THERE IS AN ESCAPE POD IN THE JEDI COUNCIL ROOM IF YOU LIFT UP MASTER POOF'S CHAIR!" Obi-Wan yelled. Anakin didn't reply. Thirty seconds passed. "Obi-Wan…I think he's dead." Koon said. "He's not dead." Suddenly, a big BANG was heard as a cylinder burst out of the Temple. The pod landed and Anakin stepped out. Anakin's face was bloody, he was missing two fingers on his left hand, half of his hair was gone, there were slash marks on his Jedi robes, and he was limping terribly. "Wow…"Koon said slowly. "It's what happens when you're in a fight with sixty lightsabers against one." Anakin yells. "Yes, I could imagine that." Koon said quietly. "Anakin, you're lucky to be alive." Obi-Wan said. "Are you alright?" "Do I look alright?" Anakin demanded. "Well, actually…no." Obi-Wan said, backing off. "Where did those UBDs come from anyway?" Anakin asked. "Let's get some cover first, then I'll tell you." Koon answered.
The three Jedi finally found some shelter in a nearby nightclub. The nightclub was closed, but Obi-Wan used his lightsaber to slash the doors apart. Then Koon enchanted the door with the Force, so no one could chop it down or open it. "Ok." Anakin said. "Now that we're safe, what's the story?" Obi-Wan made himself a Corellian Ale at the bar while Koon sat with Anakin at one of the booths. Koon told the story of the holographic droids, the evil Sith device, and the urgency to stop whoever murdered Windu and Yoda. Sipping his Corellian Ale, Obi-Wan sat down to join them. "Do you have a ship to get us out of here?" Anakin asked. "My Jedi Starfighter is in the Temple's hanger." Obi-Wan replied. "There's no way we're going back there, though. My ship's probably blown to pieces by now, anyway…" "I have a ship." Koon said. "Yeah, but isn't it also in the Temple hanger?" Anakin asked. "Well, yes." Koon admitted. "But I have an emergency ship that isn't in the Temple hanger, or anywhere near it." "Is it fueled enough to get us to wherever we need to go?" Obi-Wan asked. "It should be able to get us to Tatooine alright." Koon answered. "But I think I have some extra fuel aboard the ship that will get us across the galaxy and back." "Ok…where is this ship?" Anakin asked. "Believe it or not, it's right here, in this club." Koon replied. "What? Where?" Obi-Wan asked, confused. "Watch." Koon said, smiling. He got up from the booth. He went over to the bar and opened the fridge. "Are you going to make a drink?" Anakin demanded. "Come on, we gotta get going!" Obi-Wan immediately looked guilty and quickly emptied his Corellian Ale into a nearby exotic plant pot. Koon didn't reply. Instead, he pulled out an old, rusty bottle of vodka. He reached out his hands and called to the Force. Suddenly, the vodka bottle transformed into a laptop computer. "A transforming vodka bottle?" Anakin asked. "Watch." Koon repeated. He brought the laptop over to the booth. There was a list of all the Jedi on the Jedi Council. Even Mace Windu and Yoda were listed. Koon selected a button that said: PLO KOON next to it. A box popped up. On the screen were words that said, "PLEASE TYPE PASSCODE." Koon used Force Speed on his hands and typed a series of letters extremely fast on the laptop. All Anakin and Obi-Wan saw was a flashing blur of slender orange fingers. Then Koon hit the ENTER button. "please wait-system processing" Suddenly, the laptop popped back into a vodka bottle. Koon put the vodka bottle back into the fridge. Then, all the booths suddenly glowed green. "PLEASE CHOOSE A BOOTH." A computerized robot voice said. "Stay seated." Koon commanded. Obi-Wan noticed each booth had a number on it now. The booth they were sitting at had the number 4 on it. "Four." Koon said clearly. All the other booths turned back to their normal color but theirs. "PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE BOOTH FOUR." The voice said. "PLEASE WAIT." Suddenly, the booth dropped through the floor. Koon stayed calm while Obi-Wan and Anakin held on for life. The booth landed on a roller-coaster track. The booth started to move. Soon, the booth flew off the track and crash-landed on a platform. On this platform was the biggest and most beautiful ship Obi-Wan and Anakin had ever seen. The Jedi got out of the booth. "Welcome, Jedi Master Koon." The voice said again. "I designed this ship." Koon said proudly. "Then I had a group of worker droids put it together for me. All Jedi Council members get this unbelievable service." "It's amazing!" Obi-Wan exclaimed. "Wait till you see the inside." Koon replied with a smile.
Inside, it was like a mansion. "Alright, Anakin." Koon said. "I'll take you to the hospital room. My doctor droid will fix you up." Obi-Wan and Anakin followed Koon up a long stairway, through a hallway, up a spiral staircase, down a wooden ladder, and across a second hallway. Koon opened a door, and a blue protocol droid looked at Koon. "Good to see you again, Master Koon." The droid said. "Good to see you, K8-5L." Koon said. "K8, this is Anakin. I need you to fix him up. If you could mend his broken ankle, install two robotic fingers, and patch up his bruises, I would greatly appreciate it." "Of course, sir." K8 replied. "Go on, Anakin." Obi-Wan said. "K8, when he is done, please notify me." Koon said. "I'll be in the cockpit. Please have an escort droid help Anakin find his way to the cockpit." "Of course, sir." K8 repeated. "Have a pleasant flight, Master Koon." Anakin stepped into the room. Koon closed the door. He led Obi-Wan to the cockpit. "This is an amazing ship, Master Koon." Obi-Wan commented. "Thank you, Master Obi-Wan." Koon replied. "K8 is trained, right?" Obi-Wan asked, cautiously. "Of course, Obi-Wan." Koon said with a small smile. "I wouldn't leave Anakin alone with a dangerous droid. I've known K8 for years. If I ever get injured during a flight, K8 always heals me. He can be trusted completely." "Good." Obi-Wan replied. Koon went over to a panel and activated some controls. Almost instantly, a gold protocol droid walked into the cockpit. "Master Koon, may I be of service?" The droid asked. "Show Master Obi-Wan around the ship." Koon replied. "Show him all the corners of the ship." Obi-Wan smiled. "Exactly how long is that going to take?" Obi-Wan said, laughing. Koon laughed. "Please, Obi-Wan, my ship isn't that big. Most of it is just open space. You should see Yoda's. It's literally four times the size of mine." "Should I get going?" The droid asked. "Yes." Koon replied. "Go, Obi-Wan. You'll enjoy it." Obi-Wan followed the droid out of the room, and Koon fired up the ship.
