Chapter 2: Anakin, the master
Timeline: Fourty days after Palpatine's death, Gunray is now the new separtist commander.
On Cato Neimoidia, the new separtist headquarters...
Anakin jumped into the air, dodging a dozen of laser bolts in the progress. The jedi came down and destroyed three droids with a swipe from his lightsaber. Anakin made a half turn and his back touched that of his padawan, Kolin Yurcus.
Yurcus was a talented human padawan, his hazel eyes where shining in the sunlight and his short, brown hair was waving graceful in the wind. Yurcus was powerful for his age, he was sixteen years old but almost as powerful as a average knight.
He mastered the lightsaber style of Djem So and he was already able to lift up a boulder that could weigh up to a ton with the force. But no matter how impressive his powers where, his master would always remain stronger.
'Master, what will we do? all our clones have died already!' shouted Kolin, in slight panic. 'Don't worry my padawan, we are jedi, and we will be able to hold them off!' replied Anakin and he made a leap towards a droideka. The droideka activated his shield and started to fire.
Anakin blocked the most of the bolts and deactivated the droideka's shield with help of the force. The droideka stopped his shooting in surprise and Anakin sliced the droideka in two pieces with a fierce slash from his lightsaber.
Kolin made a reckless move by trowing a battle droid into barrel filled with fuel with help of the force and the barrel exploded. The fire that came free catched the droids in the enviroment, but sadly, also his master.
Anakin screamed as the wall of fire swallowed his body, Kolin jumped into the sea of fire and he managed to grab his master, the fire hurted like hell but pain was the last thing that Kolin thought of.
Kolin layed the uncounscious body on his back and he jumped out of the fire wall, he fell onto his knees and coughed, his master's robotic arm was on fire and Kolin sliced it of before his master's body could catch fire.
Kolin dragged the body of his master out of the danger zone and patted him on his back, Anakin coughed and woke up, with tears running out of his eyes. 'You are FAR to reckless my padawan, I am a calm type in comparisent with you!' shouted Anakin.
'But I-' tried Kolin but Anakin cut of his line. 'It's al right, but I only of one arm to use now.' Kolin nodded and grabbed the broken robotic arm of his master. 'This may hurt a bit.' warned the young padawan and he grabbed one of the wires that was sliced in half.
He connected one of the wires of the broken arm to the other wire and Anakin shouted. 'That's done, can you move it now?' asked Kolin after a few minutes, when he was done with the repairs. Anakin moved his fingers and nodded.
A few hundred metres away from the two jedi...
'Master jedi, what are your instructions?' asked a commanding battle droid. 'Don't call me a jedi! I am a sith lordess!' shouted a woman in black robes, she took her hood off and the face of Aayla Secura was now viseable. 'Yes, dark lordess of the sith, what are your instructions?'
'What kind of orders?' asked Secura. 'About the jedi.' replied the droid shortly. 'Bring them to me!' instructed Secura and she walked towards a holo transmitter while the droid walked out of the room. Secura pushed a button on the transmitter and Viceroy Gunray popped up.
'What is it that you want, Darth Secura?' asked the neimoidian humble. 'I don't like you, so don't slime, stupid figurehead. But to answer your stupid question, I want you to come here.' replied Secura, with a lot of anger in her voice. 'And do what?' asked the Neimoidian.
'Don't be so brutal, figurehead. Just come over here!' shouted Secura commanding. 'Yes, my lordess.' replied Gunray and he turned around to go to his spaceship.
