A/N: Yo you all got me back for another round. So my fellow dudes and lady dudes as you know or haven't been reading the notes I've left. I hardly have the same times as I did over the summer. My school is pressuring me to find the 'right' college for me. So I can only update once a month because of all the stuff they have me doing. But don't worry my writing won't change just my schedule. So lets take a look at what you all had to say.
Rewired105: Don't sweat it dude my pals Jester Smiles tell me all the time. A review is awesome no matter what chapter someone writes it for. And thanks hope you like this one too.
Jedi Temple Council chambers Master Mundi's POV
Rubbing my injured shoulder Shaak Ti gentle strokes her left Montrals. She told me after we left the medical bay that her head was giving her slight dizzy spells.
Telling me she received some damage to her Lekku too. Sighing master Windu began the meeting asks, "Master Mundi please if we may hear your report?"
Nodding I rub my neck to stand saying, "After the Separatists new general sprung his trap we were left defenseless. Master Ti had all our ships commence emergency landings but even then it wasn't enough.
"Our landing parties were scattered and in disarray from the tactics of this General Grievous. We last masters Barrek and K'Kruhk at the hands of this new droid general.
"Knight Tarr and Padawan Sha'a were also lost. The battle itself lasted for moments on the ground. Grievous had super droids and canons waiting to hit our landing positions.
"Every move we made to regroup our clone forces was meet with missiles and heavy fire. I am grateful to you master Kenobi for sending the Arch troopers to help us."
Master Kenobi nods to say, "No thanks are needed master Mundi. What worries me is how this new droid general was skilled in the art of saber combat?"
I say, "Even though we were exhausted from the battle. I must say when was the last time any stood up to five Jedi and held his own. This must be dealt with."
Master Windu nods saying "I agree from the data recovered from surviving clones and you master Ti. The tactics show by Grievous is far better then previous tactical strategies we encountered."
Shaak Ti say "Thank you master Windu but I was given those data pads by young Jagger."
Master Eeth asks, "How did he come across them?" Master Ti answers "As he and captain Fritz were making their way with three other squads the captain had two of the clones record the on going battle. They had to hold their position while waiting from my next tactical call.
"I misjudged the full strength presented near them and as a result they came under heavy canon fire. I thought they all had died once our communications started to be jammed."
Master Kenobi says, "Interesting the general clearly did his work on all the Jedi that were present. But what I wish to know is how facing him went?"
I nod retelling his idea of a warrior's death for us all by his hands. I say, "I had my doubts that Jagger or myself could last must longer then we did. But what shocked me must was how willing Jagger was to sacrifices his life for mine.
"That young man shoved me aside once Grievous started to rotated his body. My back was completely exposed for him to strike me down.
"But Jagger took the wound while throwing a burst of fire into the generals face. On asking him why he told me 'the old must pass on their teachings for the young to learn. Youth is often wasted for the youth cause we must learn so much'."
Master Yoda says "Truth there is in young Jagger's words. Two masters, a knight, and a Padawan fell to this new threat. But the skills and strength of our new adversary we cannot tell.
"But trust the force I do. We will find a way to defect this new threat."
Master Windu says, "I agree this general Grievous has the potential to change the shape of the war."
Master Fisto says "Which means we need to progress in our tactics in the war. The outer rim territory must be secured I having a feeling Dooku latest generals first move might be the routes we have secured."
Master Luminara nods in agreement to add "But we still have a small task to conclude before us. That is if we will allow young Jagger to be trained?"
Looking around the room a few seem uneasy. Master Windu says, "Then to a vote. All in favor of allowing young Jagger to be trained raise your hand."
Raising my hand seven other masters agree and raise there hands as well.
Master Yoda hums to say "A turn this is but one that while shape a future as well as our own. Over this meeting is."
Nodding we all raise and leave the room.
Jedi temple holding cells Jagger's View
With my back still killing me, my side burning still even with the medical gel, and my arm in a sling. I'm trying to relax in my cell. No doubt the other masters will not allow me to be trained.
Sure I fought a new threat to the Republic but that doesn't mean I proved anything.
Sash lands on my beds edge. Turning to my side I rub her underbelly just like she likes.
Her soft coos telling me that she's happy to receive affection. Placing a few strips of meat in front of her she starts to peak an pull them into small bits.
Smiling I rest my head to the pillow wondering what will happen now? I mean I didn't pass their test.
Looking up the buzzing of my cells field stopped. I see master Yoda and Kenobi standing both holding gentle smiles.
I ask, "I take it your having a laugh about me not passing?"
Master Kenobi says, "On the contrary we're happy because of the councils decision. They've voted that you should be trained as a Jedi."
I turn to master Yoda who nods. Smirking widely I ask "So master when do we start?"
Master Yoda answers "We leave soon to Toydaria. There your first tests as my Padawan begin."
I nod going back to lie down and sleep until master Kenobi stops me.
Master Kenobi says "Jagger now that you are a Padawan you will share a living space with your master. Gather your things master Yoda will show you the way."
Nodding I collect the few items I own and follow my teacher to where I will sleep from now on.
Once we get into my masters quarters he shows me to my room. Bowing my thanks master Yoda tells me to rest until we leave.
Sash circles the room landing on the bed head with grace. Smiling to her I walk over to lie down. I say "Wonder how everyone will react seeing me walking around?"
Jedi temple cafeteria Ahsoka's POV
It's lunchtime, Barris and I are watching over some younglings with Master Fisto.
The seven younglings laugh and giggle as we eat. Its wonderful to see them grow they remind me of when Barris and I were young. But soon a few whispers go through the cafeteria.
Turning I'm surprised to see that Jagger guy walking with an odd bird resting on his shoulder.
I turn to master Fisto asking "Master Fisto I thought that that Jagger guy was suppose to be escorted everywhere?"
Master Fisto smiles his usually soft smile. He says "Yes but after the battle on Hypori the Council has decided to allow Jagger to be trained as a Jedi. If it wasn't for his aid masters Mundi, Shaak Ti, and Aayala would have died at the hands of the Separatists newest general.
"Jagger even risked a fatal wound for master Mundi."
I look from him then to Barris who was still watching Jagger. Turning back he's already leaving the cafeteria with a tray of food.
After seeing Jagger at the cafeteria a bunch of the younglings start to talk of rumors they've heard of him.
The funniest one has to be him morphing into a larger version of the bird he had with him.
We finish up lunch and walk over to the training room. We're surprised to find Jagger practicing his three-sword style.
Jagger is using the orb drones to blast him while he blocks and strikes back.
Master Fisto claps as Jagger rolls to leap and hit two drones with his swords. At the same time he back kicks one behind him.
Landing Jagger spins one of his practice swords to thrust at one drone hitting it. But another blasts him, which he blocks with the sword in his teeth.
Only two other drones blast him in the rotation of his body. And from his twitching the stun setting must be pretty high.
Dropping to one knee Jagger shakes himself to take a deep breath. As he gets back up master Fisto approaches him.
Master Fisto asks "Padawan Jagger do you have a moment?"
Jagger nods and follows master Fisto back to us. Master Fisto says, "Ok younglings today you will learn to be unpredictable in combat."
One Twi'lek youngling asks, "Master what do you mean by that?"
Barris answers by saying "He means that in combat if you change your attack or defensive patterns. Your opponent won't be able to predict your moves."
Master Fisto says "Exactly which is why Padawan Jagger will face Ahsoka and Barris. He's one of few Jedi right now to use a three or more blade style. It's the very idea of having an unpredictable edge in your style.
"Jagger I'm sure you have no objections to showing the younglings more of your skills in combat?"
Jagger says "Sure just go ease I'm still recovering here."
Master Fisto says "Of course Barris Ahsoka grad a practice sword and let us begin."
Nodding Barris grabs a practice sword and I do the same. Only I have a shorter sword to match my Shoto's sabers length.
Jagger takes his stance, as do Barris and I. Jagger stance has his legs a good few inches of apart with both feet plated firmly. Master Fisto then tells us to begin.
I charge first once Jagger nods he's ready. Jagger blocks my first strike with a side-glance.
To then use the sword in his mouth to add pressure to the back of his sword. Using his strength he forces me back.
But Barris strikes fast trying to take his left knee. Jagger stabs his other sword into the floor mat stopping Barris strike.
Jagger then rolls backwards to start to spin his two swords. Barris looks to me eyeing me what her next move will be.
Nodding we charge as one only Barris jumps over Jagger while I charge his right side.
Jagger continues to spin his swords. If I remember correctly he'll charge one of us like he did master Yoda.
Not letting him take the chance I jump to him but Jagger stops his swords. Thrusting both at me to then follow through with several swings. Dodging to the best of my abilities I'm shocked when Jagger slides forward to under my backhand.
But Barris sees and tries to hit Jagger with a thrust to his mid back. Jagger rotates while still in his odd crouch. Going along Barris's arm he then parries her sword and break her stance.
And as I get close Jagger uses the sword in his mouth and left hand to hit my wrist and hip.
Off balance like Barris Jagger uses all his swords to send us tumbling slightly off the floor and over his back.
Shaking off the slight daze Barris and I turn back to see Jagger holding his side. Jagger drops to his knees trying to shake of the pain.
Master Fisto comes over to help Jagger up. Jagger says with a hiss "It still hurts."
Sitting him down on a stool the younglings hold both amazed faces and worried one.
Jagger however pats a few of their heads to tell them he'll be fine. His bird ever flies over and ruffles her feathers on his shoulder.
Master Fisto says, "Ok now that Jagger is seated young ones can you tell me what you learned?"
One Togruta youngling says, "Um Padawan Jagger remained on the defensive from the start and most of the fight. And as Ahsoka and Barris tried to break through it Jagger used his swords and body rotations to throw them off."
Master Fisto nods complementing the youngling. Master Fisto says "Remember the ending too Jagger allowed his opponents to believe he was still defending. Until he surprised them by striking back. And using their own attacks to throw them off."
The younglings nod thanking us all for helping with their training for the day.
As master Fisto and the younglings walk away. Jagger tries to get up. Only to hold his side and hiss through his teeth again.
Barris steps closer to Jagger saying "Padawan Jagger if you permit me I can use my healing skills to help ease your pain."
Jagger looks at Barris with surprise asking, "You can use the force to heal people?"
I say "Yes that an amount other things." Nodding Barris sits him back down and tells him to be still.
In no time Barris places her hand on where Jagger is feeling pain. After a good amount of time Barris stops.
Standing Jagger feels his side saying "Man that feels better thank you um Padawan Barris right?"
Barris nods to say, "Just Barris is fine too if you would allow me to do the same Jagger." Jagger nods to turn to me. Jagger asks "And Padawan Ahsoka right or do you prefer just your name?"
I nod saying, "My name will be fine. Jagger do you mind talking a while? There are a ton of rumors going around about you after the battle with the new droid general."
Jagger smirks to ask, "What are people saying about me?"
After a half an hour of telling Jagger all the rumors. He's laughing a two most of all. The idea that he can turn into a giant version of his owl. And that he can eat blaster fire is making him burst with laughter.
Jagger says "I can't turn into a giant version of Sash here. And I believe that a blaster will kill me.
"But yeah I can use fire to an extent. Don't know the limitations of my flames yet."
I ask, "So do you remember how you got locked in that odd pod thing?"
Jagger scratches Sash's belly to hum in thought. Jagger says, "All I really remember is my uncle telling me that I have to live. He was training me to carry on my great grand fathers legacy."
Barris asks "The Marian's and Surian's were very secretive during the end of the old Republics last war. After the Sith's assault the history books get fuzzy."
Jagger says, "Master Kenobi informed me of most of what happened to my world. And yes it hurts me to know I lost so many I care for. But I was trained to fight what better way to prove that then with fighting now."
I nod to see Jagger stand up and stretch his back. Barris and I do that same following him out into the hallway.
After walking for a few minutes we find master Yoda and my master talking by the dorms second corridor.
Jagger says "Evening master how did the meeting go?"
Master Yoda answers, "Trouble is Toydaria leave we must to find lost convey."
Jagger nods to walk into the room. But as he leave he says "Thank you both again for the fun sparing match. Maybe next time we can have an actually match without limitations."
I smirk to say "Yeah next time you can't use your hurt for us to go easy on you."
Jagger smirks back and nods. I think 'Wonder what will happen now with some many new faces adding to the war?'
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 all later!
