A/N: Yo you all got me back for another round. So ok I've been gone for a good reason. My best friend since I don't know years. She got into a nasty breakup and she asked me for help. I did some poking and she didn't like what I found. Next thing you know I helping her destroy her ex's reputation. And on top of that I had to start looking for a college to go to next year. So yeah it's just been eating at all my time. But its ok I'm here now so lets check out the comments.
Well seeing as no ones left a comment lets just get right into it... please comment later.
Jedi Temple Council chambers Master Fisto's POV
Myself and several of the other masters have remained shocked at not only the duel between master Yoda and the young man.
But also the aftermath of their match. Being that master Yoda willingness to taking him on as his Padawan.
Right now all the members of the Council are present. Masters Gallia, Eeth, Ti, Poof, and Tiin are here by hologram. Right now however it's master Windu who is being the most vocal of disagreeing with master Yoda's choice.
Master Windu continues his argument "Master Yoda not only does you choice break Jedi code and tradition. He's a danger to anyone who gets close to him.
"I won't be surprise if the Separatist plan to hire bounty hunters to sneak into the Temple to capture him. Dooku went to great lengths to make sure there were no loss ends along with his contact to get the young man."
Master Yoda hums but it's master Kenobi who specks first. Master Kenobi says "True Young Jagger has no one education in the current goings of the galaxy. He has no family to speck of and the Separatists are after him as added to his displeasure.
"But I ask this too all Council members. When was the last time any of us? Or any Padawan held his or her own against a master Jedi for over an hour?
"Jagger may not have the knowledge of our time. And his skills may be in the early development. But if what I assuming from master Yoda is right. It would be unwise to let Jagger simply sit by and watch this war unfold.
"He had to do so for his home planet. And now he believes this is his chance to stake his place in real combat. He simple challenge to master Yoda was to not only prove his worth in battle.
"But to prove he's ready and will to fight for a cause."
Master Yoda hums but its master Rancisis who specks next. He says "But we cannot go against our sacred of traditions. The young Jagger is not a Padawan nor does he show any kind of force skills.
"And yes we all agree his skills with a sword is unorthodox along with his so call ability. But how do we know that he isn't a threat to us all?"
Master Mundi says "Perhaps a test of his skills in combat is needed. We all agree his is a warrior at heart. And if the Separatist want him for their latest plow it would be wise for him to be able to defend himself in some way."
Masters Eeth says, "I agree with what our young friend has shown us. He is willing to perform. It's just a matter of how well he can."
Master Ti adds "But also it is as several among us have stated he is not a Jedi. So even if he shows his skill will we permit him to join the order?"
I ask, "Why not allow him to join? As master Kenobi said when was the last time any amount us held his or her own against master Yoda when we were younger. Let alone for as long as our young friend has.
"His skills are one pare with advanced levels even for a Padawan three years under a master. I say we put it to a vote to allow young Jagger to be tested to allow him to join."
Master Windu sighs to say "All those apposed to allowing this test for young Jagger?"
As the masters raised their hands master Yoda smiles. Master Yoda says "The force always changing always tipping to balance life it is. Believe I do Jagger will fight. Quick minded he is."
Nodding we take our leave. But I wonder what master Mundi has in mind come Jagger's test?
Jedi Temple Jagger's Cell Master Mundi POV
I watch as the young man does several stretching exercises before I speck with him.
I say "Young Jagger you will be tested to see if you are worthy to be a Jedi. Many have doubts that you can. But myself and several other masters wish to test you skills.
"You will accompany masters Barrek, Secura, and myself as we rendezvous with masters Ti and K'Kruhk over planet Hypori."
Getting out of his cell young Jagger is wearing a pair of baggy blue pants. The shirt he has on is short sleeved with a vest hoodie. All the while having his sliver hair tied back into a rat-tail ponytail.
Following behind me the clip of his wooden sandals match his every step.
Getting onto the command ship better known to the clones as Barge. I look over my shoulder seeing young Jagger lift a few pieces of ship rebar.
He takes three pieces to then walk back to me. Raising an eyebrow at him he answers, "Well Master Mundi seeing as I don't have any weapons. I might as well make my own.
"And from what I've heard from master Ti. She had used several of this metal bars to impale these dim metal soldiers you been fighting."
Nodding I say "Very well come we must meet the others on the bridge." After taking an elevator we make it too the bridge.
There we find masters Barrek, Secura, and a young friend of mine. Jedi knight Tarr Seirr stepping closer young Tarr eyes Jagger.
I say "Admiral Ford begin of rendezvous with generals Ti and K'Kruhk." Nodding to me two other cruisers lift off from the Republic military port along with ours.
I start to go over the necessary plan of attack. From what we have so far a small Battalion has hold over a portion of Hypori. Jagger is off in a corner using a large file to scarp away at the metal rebar.
Tarr asks, "Masters I know it's not my place to judge. But why did some of you agree to allow him to be in charge of a squad. He isn't a Jedi nor does he have any skills in open combat."
Master Barrek says, "I understand your worry knight Tarr. But be at ease my Padawan Sha'a will have his squad close by. The Council has decided to test young mister Jagger.
"We have seen his skills in one on one combat. Hypori's small battle will show if he can walk as a Jedi. Master Yoda has faith in him. And even know he prepares to fight."
Master Secura adds "But is it his eagerness to fight or simply does he have his skills on display?"
I sigh to say "Either way it is what the Council agreed upon. Jagger go meet Padawan Sha'a. He's in the mess hall not doubt." Nodding to me Jagger leaves the room with the somewhat sword like rebar's in hand.
Battleship Barge third person's POV
Sha'a shocked face is not anything new to Jagger. He's use to people staring. But the fact that he's jerry ridged his own fire pit to smith his make shift sword is something else.
Several of the clones watch as Jagger takes the three pieces heating them with his fire. To then beat them to shape. To then repeat this process a few more times.
After nearly three hours Jagger's crude but still smooth swords are ready. Taking a clone's blaster out of a crate. Jagger swing not just slicing the blaster but the empty crate too.
Jagger turns to Sha'a and the clones saying, "It'll cut."
Jagger is happy. Unlike the other Jedi and learners Sha'a hasn't be watching him like he's some odd person.
Sure Sha'a like everyone is confused and curious at Jagger method of doing things. But Sha'a learned from master Barrek to only judge someone after they show who they truly are.
The two now are walking down the east side of the ship heading to Sha'a's room to await orders.
Announcement over the intercom "All hand be ready for planetary entry."
Jagger says "Well that means we're here rig... HHHHH!" Several hard tremors rock the ship. The halls and rooms red lights begin to flash.
Intercom announced "All hands we are under attack unknown number Separatist cruisers exiting HyperSpace. All pilots to a Gunship or a fighter."
Both Jagger and Sha'a exit the room to be violently thrown to a wall. Staggering to their feet the two race down the hall. A few troops see them and call for them.
Following the clones Jagger and Sha'a enter an escape pod with five others. As the pod jettisons they watch as not only their ships. But the three with Barge receive heavy fire while entering the planet.
With in the skies Jagger takes notice of the back and forth air battles. But from what he sees these machines are winning this skirmish by a mile.
Planet Hypori Master Shaak Ti POV
This is not possible the droids strategy is just not like any other I have seen. Running alongside master K'Kruhk I take notice of the approaching droids.
Almost all of our troops are dead and those that aren't are cut off from us. Shaking my head we race to one of our ships that isn't still burning.
Stopping I see around me that Aayala and master Barrek's Padawan are also still alive. All of us are not doing so well. Only in an hours time has it take this new droid general to end all of our counter attacks.
Even our attempts to assist the injured. I walk to Sha'a to say, "I am sorry to hear of master Barrek's lose Sha'a. But he has become one with the force. Do you know what became of young Jagger?"
Sha'a is shaking his voice erratic as he answers me "I don't know. When he came out of the smoke master Barrek and Jagger held he off. But He slashed through one of Jagger metal swords to kick him into a crash fighter.
"After that he returned his attention to master Barrek. He was calling for support when he was cut down."
Looking up I see Mundi and knight Tarr enter the smashed starship.
Master K'Kruhk huffs to say, "He is simply unstoppable. In all our battle never has a droid so effectively countered our every move."
I nod agreeing with how simply this droid commander has overturned this battle.
Master Mundi says, "Our situation is truly dire but we must remain focused. Together we will over come this, we are Jedi."
Nodding at my fellows we stand ready. Turning several loud thuds alert us to someone moving from within the crashed ship.
Igniting our sabers we ready for anyone to appear. But out of the wreckage comes Jagger bleeding from his head and left shoulder.
Jagger smiles to say "Oh so this is the right one... finally." Jogging over to Jagger I look over his wounds to lean him against a piece of metal.
Sha'a comes over as I wrap a cloth around Jagger neck. Jagger reaches to his pocket saying "I sorry I could help master Barrek Sha'a. But I sure he'd want you to hold onto his saber."
Sha'a shakes his head to say, "Right now we need your help too Jagger. I'm sure my master would understand."
Wrapping Jagger arms he thanks me to stand up. Clicking the trigger Jagger stares at the saber in his hand.
Moving the blue blade back and forth Jagger says, "I heard they were light but not this light. This might take a lot of practice when I get a chance to be tested."
Before I can say anything a voice boomed from outside "Jedi your army lies dead and you are weakened from your resistance. Make peace with the force for I general Grievous will give you a warriors death."
Slowly we all hear the creak no his foot steps. And I can tell it's making everyone nervous. Mundi tries to keep us calm. But Sha'a yells charging forward when the steps stop.
Jagger right after him and so too master Mundi. In a white blur Sha'a is killed under the large droid general feet.
Jagger growls to have the general droid return his own hiss. Jumping once again he vanishes.
Master Mundi says "Come Jagger we must regroup." Jagger snatches up Sha'a's saber.
With both saber in hand Mundi and Jagger regroups and we form a circle.
Jagger looks around to say, "I can smell him... ABOVE!" With that the general drops down from the ceiling.
Avoiding his swings Jagger and I are the first to engage countering his two handed style.
I still cannot believe this droid has lightsabers as well. As the others press their attacks Jagger tries to strike the droids legs. But he simply blocks with a downward strike.
Jagger rolls out of the way and thrusts into another strike with master Mundi. But the droids begins to rotate his torso creating a circle of blade strikes.
Slowly he pushes us back but its master Mundi he is more focused on. Exchanging back and forth between anyone of us the droids strikes flow with each of his swings.
Making little work of the combined attacks of master K'Kruhk, Aayala, and knight Tarr. The droid counters each with his own unique style.
Master Mundi jumps clear of the generals two saber strike to then rush away as master Mundi tries to use the force.
Stopping on a wall Jagger takes a stance and thrusts one of his clenched fists forward.
A large plum of fire erupts from his fists. Once again the general runs along the wall. But even as he avoids Jagger's fire. Jagger continues in his attacks.
Running up onto the ceiling the droid cuts several pieces of the ship free. To then free falls with the pieces.
We scattered as the pieces cause dust to kick up everywhere. However a gruff howl shocks us, as master K'Kruhk lies dead at the droids feet.
Using the force I make several pieces of metal fly at the droid. Jagger joins me throwing balls of fire too.
But the droid simply swats the away with his saber. While distracted knight Tarr and Aayala try to strike.
But the general grabs and crush's Tarr's skull under his clawed foot. At the same time stabs Aayala mid air. To throw her and Tarr's body up into an unknown area above.
Jagger and I rush forward Mundi seeing us he does the same. Once again we got back into the counters. I'm surprised that Jagger is holding his own as we are. Jagger low sweeps the droids leg to receive a hard to the sternum.
Bouncing backwards Jagger stops feet away as Mundi and I keep exchanging strikes.
However in a flashy display the droid began to spin his sabers too fast for us to strike. Stunned long enough Mundi is sent flying by a hard kick.
Standing before the droid I tried to hold my own. But his attention is soon divided once more as Jagger returns to the battle. However he has a saber in his mouth.
A piece of cloth and piece of metal of sorts it secured to his mouth.
Jagger shows me his full fighting style as he rotates his body to try and push back the general. But it's all for not as he strikes begin to get faster. Using all three of his sabers Jagger is forced back by one strike.
But I get disarmed. Using the force I try to stop the strike. But I am throw through several pieces of metal.
Hearing the battle continue as I feel my sight slip. All I can hope for now is that my allies fight bravely for our Republic.
Well hoped you liked it and if you didn't well I don't care. Drop me a review and some other fun stuff. I'll see you later!
