Well this is the next chapter. And for Alien Languages, I'm going to be bolding and italicizing them to separate them from thoughts. Mainly because I don't know how to spell a lot of the language. So bear with me, and please review.
"General Kenobi, we are within one hour of Tattoine," said the clone trooper Commander Cody. Obi-wan had found a respect for him. He understood that yes, they were clones. But they were risking their lives just as the Jedi were in this war against the Separatists. Commander Cody and Obi-wan had formed a mutual respect for each other over their time spent together.
Obi-wan and Anakin were heading towards Tattoine for their next mission. They were sent by the council because Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had received word from his spy there that Jabba the Hutt might be negotiating a treaty with the Separatists and trading information about the Republic. This of course would not do. They had to go there and try and perform a peaceful swaying to the crime lord so he would not join the Separatists.
"Master, I think we might be walking into a trap." Anakin wasn't necessarily a padawan anymore. He was speaking as a Jedi Knight to a member of the council. He and he was being cautious. Obi-wan looked at him. "Yes, I think your right Anakin. But, if there is a trap, then we haave some backup so we are not walking into this head first." Obi-wan said agreeing with Anakin. Anakin didn't really want to go back to Tattoine. Not after what happened a few years back when he was still a Padawan learner. His mother, and the Tusker Raider slaughter had shaken him immensely. But, if it was the council's will, then he would not object.
They made it to Tattoine and landed in the outskirts of the desert planet. Obi-wan and Anakin being accompanied by three Clone Troopers counting Commander Cody. They tread through the desert, and made it to the town. They were escorted by a guard who was sent by Jabba to bring them to his palace.
When they walked into the palace, they were presented. "Introducing, General Obi-wan Kenobi, member of the Jedi Council, and Anakin Skywalker, of the Jedi Knights." He said. Anakin looked at Jabba. Jabba remembered Anakin. He was the boy who only at nine years old defeated their best pod racer. Sebulba. He looked at the boy as he saw both Jedi bow. They were welcomed to approach. The Clone Troopers staying behind a few feet as to give them space. Jabba spoke in his language.
"Ah, Anakin Skywalker, I remember you. You were the boy who beat the Pod Race against Sebulba when you were but a child. I am impressed to see that you are now a Jedi. But tell me, why is it you have come here, Mr. Kenobi, and Mr. Skywalker?" He asked in his alien tone. Obi-wan looked at him. He knew that Jabba understood basic. He looked at him. He also knew that Anakin, if he had a hard time trying to get Jabba to understand would help him out with the translation. "Jabba the Hutt, we have come here because we have been informed that you are thinking of joining the Separatists. That wouldn't be a wise choice for you, or your planet. Because of the war that would be brought to this humble planet. So as a member of the Jedi council, I ask you that you try and reconsider your thoughts on this." Obi-wan said. First he would try it without the aid of the force.
"Mr. Kenobi, what my thoughts are, and what your war is are two separate matters. And I do not take kindly to threats. If there is to be a war on this planet, then I hope you understand that not even you pathetic Jedi would be able to stand in my way." Jabba said. Obi-wan looked at him. "You will reconsider your proposition with the Confederacy." He said waving his hand. "You stupid Jedi. Your worthless mind tricks do not work on me. Guards, show these Jedi why they shouldn't be feared. Kill them."
At Jabba's command, the guards began to swarm in with vibro-blades and energy pikes. Anakin looked to Obi-wan as Obi-wan drew his lightsaber. Anakin did the same as their blue blades hummed and held a defense stance. Anakin had a feeling this would happen. As the guard swarmed around, they had swarmed towards the clone troopers as well. Commander Cody and his men began opening fire. The guards attacked Obi-wan and Anakin. Obi-wan sliced the guard's hand off who attacked him first and saw him fall to the ground screaming out in agony. A few more ran at Obi-wan as he used the force and sent one into the other getting hit with the energy pike and falling to the ground. He didn't want this to be a violent battle, but it seems the odds of that were overwhelmingly insignificant now. Anakin had sliced off a few hands, and actually decapitated three of the guards. He looked at Jabba who could only watch in horror. Obi-wan held his ground as the Clone troopers finished off the guards. He looked at Jabba and this time Anakin spoke. "Do you reconsider your proposition with the Confederacy now," he asked. Jabba looked at them with hatred. "Yes….get out of here Jedi. I will not support the Separatists…providing you do not return here." He said. With that Obi-wan bowed and Anakin as well.
The Clone troopers followed as they head back to the desert towards their ships. As Commander Cody and his troops got onto the ship, Anakin and Obi-wan felt a disturbance in the force. "Anakin do you…" He was cut off as Anakin nodded. "Yes Master, I feel the disturbance. Its coming from that way," he pointed straight ahead of them as they walked.
When they came to the area of the disturbance they saw a man in hooded robes. He looked at them. "Ah, the astute Jedi. General Obi-wan Kenobi, and General Anakin Skywalker. Such a pleasure to finally meet you." He said with a dark tone. His entire body was shrouded in the veil as Anakin looked at him. "In the name of the Galactic Senate, who are you?" he asked in a demanding tone. The hooded figure spoke. "My real name is Phoenix, but you may call me, Darth Xereon." He said with a darkness. He put his hand outward and in Darth Xereon's hand, came to the battle ax-like lightsaber. He turned it on, and the black blade formed. Anakin looked in shock as did Obi-wan. "Get ready Anakin….he may…" And before he could finish, Anakin had already drawn his lightsaber, the blue blade humming in the air as he flipped toward this new Sith. Obi-wan sighed. "He has no patience…" He said and followed after him.
