Author Note: This one is kinda long yet short.
Chapter 8 Weapons
" Luke," Kyle called running into his meditation chamber.
" Yes?" Luke answer looking up with a cross look perched on his face.
" Sorry to disturb you, but the Prime Minister of Kamino is online with us, he wants to speak with you."
" About the ships?"
" Yes." Luke stood up quickly and ran past Kyle toward the communications room. He reached it quickly, Mara was standing outside.
" So?" She asked.
" I'll tell you when I'm done." Luke said as he rushed in. There on the projection pad was indeed a transparent holo image of the Prime Minister of Kamino. Luke bowed deeply with respect.
" Jedi Master Skywalker, pleasure to talk with you." He said slowly in his soft yet deep voice. Luke stood.
" Pleasure to speak with you, now why have you called?"
" We understand you ordered some of our new transport ships yes?"
" Yes.
" They are being delivered as we speak we had to let you know."
" Very well."
" Where shall we receive our pay?"
" I'll transfer the account number."
" Thank you Master Skywalker. It was nice doing business with you, your ships will arrive within the hour."
" Thank you." The image flickered away and Luke left. Mara stopped him quickly.
" And?"
" The ships are arriving. We need to go and see Leia."
" We?"
" Yes, you and me, we have to ask to attack Manaan."
" Alright."
" Come on then." Luke said. They walked toward a landing platform that housed their shuttle.
Ten Minutes later
Leia's office door slid open. Briefly she looked up from her data pad and saw Luke and Mara enter. They sat before her and she shut off the data pad.
" Luke, Mara what can I do for you?" She asked.
" Leia," Luke said, he wanted to get to the point quickly." We have ordered ships from Kamino that can fly in space as well as go underwater. We need your permission to go to Manaan and try to find the Sith Lord."
" I thought I would be hearing this. If you think there is a threat than you can investigate but Luke, I do not want another war started."
" This one hasn't even ended."
" You are welcome to take clone troops if necessary."
" Perhaps but we will take them in their own ships. If we can raise Ahto City out of the water then they can take it over and kill the droid army there."
" Very well Luke."
" Thanks."
On Manaan
The turbo lift doors opened and for the first time Revan saw the room that he would use for a while. It was spacious roomy and a little weird, mostly because the walls floor and ceiling were made of glass and you could see the whole underwater world of Manaan.
" Excellent." Revan stated." But I must ask, why is everything made of glass?"
" A map cannot find this room, the door is disguised and it is clear so it blends in."
" What do you mean a map cannot find this room."
" Jedi like to bring data pads on missions with a map program on them. The program is hooked to the orbital machines that map make this planet. They use a beam to see inside buildings and make maps. Since this is glass they will see nothing and the Jedi will assume nothing is there, it gives us the advantage of surprise."
" Genius. Better than any base, I have ever seen. Although I do wonder… you said you ruled over the Republic yes?"
" Yes."
" How did you manage? To keep all the planets in line?"
" The Death Star."
" What was that?"
" A battle station, with a turbo laser capable of destroying planets. It could hold a planet-sized amount of troops, thousands of ships and war machines. It could hold an entire system for months."
" Fascinating. I once had a station."
" Really?"
" Yes, a secret station. The Star Forge."
A new idea hatched is Sidious's mind. This day was just getting better.
" And what could it do?"
" It was so powerful with the dark side, I could be invincible on it. It came with an army of droids too, and with siege weapons of all sorts. With my whole fleet I had an infinite armada. It is a wonder. I was defeated."
" This Star Forge is it still around?"
" I believe so."
" Could we use it?"
" Of course. When I left it, it was over taken but all men on it since have died. The droids killed them."
" Excellent, do you know where it is?"
" Yes, it orbits around a planet with no name, inhabited only by a species known as Rakaata, and an annoying little animal that is breeding machine known as Gizka."
" Alright lets take the shuttle there now."
" As you wish."
A/N: Yea I know the Star Forge was most likely destroyed, but not here. Anyways hope you like it. A little battle between Grevious and Luke is coming up. Heh, heh, heh!
