CHAPTER ELEVEN
Doom
Anakin was the first to speak. "Huh?" He said. He wanted to pick better words; he really did. But when you see Jocasta Nu's evil smiling Sith face, the only word you will probably be able to speak would probably be, "Huh?" Koon was too stunned to speak. Obi-Wan was still wounded and unconscious on the floor, but if he wasn't incapacitated he would probably have had a heart attack. "Surprised?" Jocasta Nu asked. "Hell yeah." Anakin said under his breath. Jocasta cackled evilly. "Only female Jedi to leave the Jedi for the Sith in two hundred years." She said with pride. "But…Jocasta." Koon stuttered. "You're so…old!" Jocasta laughed so hard she started to wheeze. "Age can't stop me!" She screamed. "I am becoming the most powerful Sith Lord of all time!" "Powerful in the field of oldness?" Anakin teased. Jocasta got a terrifying wrinkly look of rage on her face and ejected Force Storm out of her fingertips. They hit Anakin and he fell smoking on the ground, next to the bloodied body of Obi-Wan. Koon withdrew his orange lightsaber and pointed it at Darth Dragus's throat. "Jedi clones." Koon said. "Tell us what is happening or I'll slit your old neck which has probably been treated with plastic surgery over sixteen times." Jocasta cackled again. "You mean you don't know?" She yelled with more evil laughter. "Darth Exodus and I have been planning this for over fifty years! All my time as a Jedi I was a spy!" "Darth Exodus?" Koon asked. "I've heard that name before when we were on Korriban! Who is that?" "My Master. I am his apprentice, although I am becoming so powerful I am almost ready to overthrow him!" "WHAT!" Koon screamed. "I thought you were the Master!" "No." Jocasta said, smiling. "My Master was also at the Jedi Temple as a spy. You may know him as, the Black Knight. He was strong in the Force and committed to following the Light, and he always wore robes that were similar to the ones worn by Darth Revan. You could never see his face, or any part of his skin." "Yes." Koon said. "I remember the Black Knight. He was one of the greatest swordsmen in the Order." "Yes, well, he wasn't really in the Order." Dragus replied. "He was Darth Exodus, my Master, and all the while was stealing DNA samples from different Jedi. We have collected thousands of DNA samples for our army of Dark Jedi Clones. I worked with him almost constantly, us trying desperately to collect these samples. We had the most trouble with three Jedi: Yoda, Mace Windu, and Quinlan Vos. We only recently acquired their DNA samples." "When?" Koon asked. "Vos's DNA was acquired only about a week ago, when my good friend who is a professional scientist captured Vos on Korriban and performed a fire ritual on his body, stealing the DNA." "And Yoda and Master Windu?" Koon demanded. "When Exodus killed them, he took their DNA samples. Simple." "Wait—I thought you killed Yoda and Windu!" "No!" Dragus yelled. "That was Exodus!" Koon clamped a hand to his forehead. All this time, they had been wrong. Looking for a Sith Lord who was really a stupid 90-year-old woman. "What's happening?" A groggy voice asked. Koon looked, and Obi-Wan was slowly getting up. Dark, large spots of blood were stuck to both the floor and Obi-Wan's robes. "WOAH!" Obi-Wan yelled when he saw Darth Dragus. "JOCASTA NU!" He screamed. "Master Kenobi." Dragus said. "You have a lot of catching up to do." Anakin had also gotten up, weak from the ultra-powerful Force Storm which had overpowered him. "Obi-Wan! Anakin!" Koon yelled. "Dragus didn't kill Yoda and Mace Windu! Her Master, Darth Exodus, did!" "And the Jedi Clones are ready." Dragus said. "OPEN THE WINDOW!" She yelled. Suddenly, the purple curtains of one side of the room fell to the ground. Behind it was a metal wall, which soon flipped to reveal an extremely large glass window. "Come closer, my young Jedi friends." Jocasta said. "And see what doom your Jedi Order will soon face."
Before their eyes, the Jedi saw one million Jedi. They looked…wrong, somehow. They seemed like they were psychologically insane or mentally retarded. There were about 5,000 Yarael Poofs, 10,000 Mace Windus, and at least 50,000 Yodas. There were also many thousands of Jedi such as Cin Drallig, Plo Koon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Oppo Rancisis, Yaddle, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, Eeth Koth, Even Piell, and even Obi-Wan's late Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. "Feast your eyes, gentlemen!" Dragus yelled. "Soon, these clones will be dispatched on every single planet in the galaxy, hunting down Jedi until the Sith rule once again! Innocent blood will be spilt, Jedi hearts will be slaughtered, and people will fall to their knees, begging for their lives to be spared!" "Monstrous." Obi-Wan mumbled. "But enough talk." Dragus said. "I'll let you see them in action." Suddenly, a door opened and in marched in twenty Jedi clones—five Mace Windus, five Yodas, five Cin Dralligs, and five Shaak Tis. They all lit their lightsabers. Then Dragus ran. She was fleeing. "You can't escape me, old lady!" Anakin yelled. He instantly unhooked his lightsaber, ignited it, and threw it full force at Dragus. Dragus whirled around and Force Pushed the flying lightsaber away from her. It went flying back to Anakin like a deadly boomerang, and he caught it with his left hand. Dragus continued to run. Anakin chased after her, leaving Obi-Wan and Koon to fight twenty evil Jedi clones. "Anakin, wait!" Obi-Wan yelled. But it was too late. Anakin was in a wild bantha chase with Jocasta Nu. Disgruntled, Obi-Wan took out his lightsaber. "You go in slowly on the left, Obi-Wan." Koon whispered. "I've sparred both Drallig and Windu thousands of times, and I know their weaknesses, so I'll take them. You take on the Yodas." "What about the Shaak Tis?" Obi-Wan asked. Koon lifted Dragus's throne chair with the Force and brought it crashing down on the Shaak Tis' heads. They all fell to the ground, crippled and dismantled. "Oh." Obi-Wan said. "That works also." The Jedi clones lit their lightsabers and charged. One of the Mace Windus had a double-bladed purple saber. That Windu stuck the lightsaber vertically and swung it with a force so powerful it knocked Koon's orange single-bladed right out of his hand. The hilt spun across the floor and came to rest in a corner. Koon was unarmed. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't Force Pull the lightsaber back to him or else he'd be vulnerable to attacks. So, he raised his leg and kicked the Mace Windu in the face. He fell back and Koon grabbed his purple double-bladed lightsaber, swung, and chopped the Mace Windu in half. Next, two Cin Dralligs confronted him. One swung for Koon's legs. Koon turned the lightsaber vertically and blocked it, while parrying another blow to the head. He then turned it horizontally and swung, taking the Cin Dralligs by complete surprise. They too were chopped in half. Three down, seven to go. Koon thought. He used Force Speed and charged at a Mace Windu with a spinning kata move. He mowed down the Mace Windu almost instantly. A Cin Drallig then took a stab at his back from behind him. Koon sensed the attack, blocked it, then jumped up in the air. He landed behind the Cin Drallig and this time stabbed him in the back. There were two remaining Cin Dralligs and three remaining Mace Windus. Using the Force, Koon picked up a Mace Windu and launched him full force against the wall. He fell to the ground dead. Next, he ran forward and performed the move that killed Qui-Gon Jinn against the last Mace Windu—he hit his waist with the hilt of the double-bladed lightsaber, then turned quickly and stabbed him in the hip. Then, to finish off the Cin Dralligs, he swung his saber staff full force and soon two heads rolled on the ground.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the large room, Obi-Wan wasn't doing too well against the Yodas. The Jedi clones weren't nearly as good as the real Jedi they were cloned from, sort of like the Clonetroopers cloned from Jango Fett. Obi-Wan had managed to strike down two Yodas, but three were still at large. Or, rather, at small. Koon saw Obi-Wan struggling, so he rushed over to help him. Within minutes, the three Yoda clones were dead. "Nice saber staff skills, Master Koon." Obi-Wan complemented. "Thank you." Koon said. "While I was a Padawan, I trained with both a single bladed lightsaber and a double-bladed lightsaber. In fact, that day on Alderaan when I fought Darth Maul, I used a saber staff." "Cool." Obi-Wan said. "I could never learn how to use one of those things, although I really want to learn." "Forget that." Koon said, suddenly changing the topic. "Anakin has gone after Darth Dragus. We need to find him. Jocasta Nu could be VERY powerful as a Sith Lord. We need to help him."
Meanwhile, Anakin had just stopped and cornered Dragus in a control room. The control room had two floors. "Your reign of terror ends here, old lady." Anakin snarled. "Don't count on it, Skywalker!" Jocasta Nu shrieked. She scampered up a metal stairway. Anakin went after her. "You can't beat me." Dragus said with an evil smile. She withdrew a red lightsaber. Anakin brought his blue lightsaber over his head and bent his knees in a threatening position. "Argh!" Jocasta grunted. She lunged at Anakin. Anakin blocked, and counter-attacked. Then he advanced and struck again. But Dragus blocked his attack with ease. Dragus raised her lightsaber above her old small head, and brought it crashing down. Anakin raised his lightsaber horizontally and blocked it with all his strength. Then he jumped up, flipped backwards, and gave Dragus a strong kick in the chest. She cried in pain, and Anakin thought he heard something cracking. Jocasta's lightsaber snapped off and she collapsed on the floor, twitching and moaning with pain. Anakin approached her and pointed his lightsaber at her neck. "Alright, enough fooling around." Anakin said. "I want to know where your master is. Exodus." "You'll never get any answers from me, Jedi slime!" Dragus said weakly. "Besides, I don't advise you to go after my master. That would not be a wise decision, especially in these times." Anakin frowned. "These times?" He asked. "Exodus has discovered a new Force Crystal." Dragus said. "He's using it to make himself unbelievably powerful. He plans to resurrect the greatest Sith Lords of all time: Exar Kun, Darth Revan, Ajunta Pall, Darth Plagueis…and even Naga Sadow. But before he can do that, he needs Sith Holocrons. He plans to steal them from a Jedi base on the planet Polis Massa." "Lies!" Anakin yelled. "There's no Jedi base on Polis Massa!" "Wrong!" Jocasta yelled. "There are ruins. Of an ancient Jedi base on Polis Massa. Legend has it the last surviving Jedi, a Jedi named Knyoj Huki, hid three ancient Sith Holocrons in these ruins. Exodus plans to recover these Holocrons and resurrect these four Sith Lord legends." "One last thing." Anakin said. "Where is Quinlan Vos?" Jocasta cackled evilly. "Exodus has him!" "Well. That was very helpful!" Anakin said cheerfully. "Thanks so much!" "DAMN MY ANCIENT BRAIN!" Jocasta yelled. Anakin took his lightsaber, and chopped Dragus in half. The oldest human Jedi in the history of the Jedi Order, was finally dead. Suddenly, Koon and Obi-Wan scampered up the stairs and entered the room with Anakin and Dragus's dead body. "Aww." Koon said sarcastically. "I was looking forward to squishing that old bitch's head. Too bad you beat me to it, Anakin." "Anakin—please tell me you interrogated her." Obi-Wan said with a certain sort of gleam in his eye. "Yes, Master." Anakin said grimly. "And I know where Darth Exodus is hiding." There was silence. Obi-Wan looked at Dragus's corpse. "Man, this girl is old!" He exclaimed. Anakin and Koon chuckled. "How did you kill her?" "I gave her a light kick." Anakin answered. "I think I broke her neck." This made Obi-Wan laugh. "So we still haven't found Quinlan." Koon commented. "We don't have time to look for him." Obi-Wan said grimly. "We need to find and destroy Exodus as soon as possible.
