Naboo
Ezra sat across from Padme. "So, why did you ask to come along?" Padme asked, Ezra watched as Naboo came into view. "Let's just say, I'd take any chance I can to get away from the temple." Padme chuckled. "I heard from you mother that you hated being inside that temple." Ezra smirked.
Walking down the ramp, Captain Typho and Queen Neeyutnee greeted them. "Senator Amidala, C-3PO, Representative Binks and uh.." Padme smirks. "Captian Typho, Queen Neeyutnee, this is Master Kenobi's padawn learner, Ezra Bridger." Ezra nodded, confirming her claim. "He asked to come along for reasons." Ezra chuckled. "Either I'm bored in a temple, or my Mandalorian skills in tracking might come in handy." Typho raised his only eyebrow in interest.
After a talk, the group arrived in a room. Ezra glanced round, his eyes taking in the details. A tactical droid rested on a bench in the centre. "A tactical droid, I haven't seen one of these up close before." Ezra exclaimed, eyes sweeping over the droid. "We're hoping to gather some information from it." Nodding, Ezra stepped back and begin to mediate. Allowing himself to feel the force around him.
After sometime, Ezra realised that something had happened, opening his eyes. He eyed the mess Jar Jar had made with a small amusement. "Well, does this mean we're going of for a walk?" Padme sighed. "I guess so, come on Jar Jar, Ezra.." Padme paused, thinking what to say. After sometime, she decided on something simple. "do what ever you want." Ezra nodded, following Padme out.
After sometime and an encounter with another Gungan, a female called Peppi Bow, the group had travelled into the swamp. Walking along, Ezra blinked. "Something's not right. I can feel life below us, but..." Ezra paused as stopped in his tracks, glancing down, Ezra widen his eyes. "Shit." He muttered under his breath. Around them, Battle Droids emerged. "Surrender." Ezra sighed, glancing at Padme, he winked and raised his hands. "I surrender."
Pushed into a lab, Ezra glanced round. A male Faust stood nearby. Narrowing his eyes, Ezra scanned the rest of the room, his eyes widening as he eyed the test tubes stored nearby. 'Fuck me, that's not good.' Ezra thought. He was pushed back as the Faust walked forward. "Hmm, intriguing, this Mandalorian warrior bares two Lightsabers, something's different about him, take him away." Ezra smirked, kicking the droids away before leaping forward.
With quick thinking, the Faust quickly drew a blaster and fired on Ezra. The impact sent Ezra to the ground, pain shooting up his body as he closed his eyes. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. But what are specimens such as yourselves doing out here?" Padme stepped forward. "I was about to ask the same thing."
Ezra grunted, focusing with the force, he slowly felt many different things. Using the force as his guide, Ezra started to work his way into the Faust's mind. "Who are you?" Padme asked, Ezra remained silent, silently hoping that Padme could buy more time. "The name, is Dr Nuvo Vindi, creator of life." Ezra chuckled inside. Already sweeping his mind, an image of a blue eyes man coming to view. Slit like pupils in the place of circular ones and black hair.
Continuing on, he soon start to realise why Vindi had recreated the virus. Something larger was gong on, something far more then the Republic. A plan darting back over 4000 years. This man, whoever it was that asked Vindi to do this, had a hatred for Jedi, and others. Something far more sinister was going on.
Feeling the facility shake, Ezra opened is eyes. He'd lost track of time, keeping still, Ezra focused on the new lifeforms. Ahsoka, Rex, the clones, his master, Anakin. They had come. Keeping silent, Ezra started to drain the plants to heal himself. Feeling himself at full bank, Ezra smirked. Waiting, Ezra quickly leapt into the air, igniting his emerald blade and deflecting the many blaster bolts.
Landing upon the ground, Ezra smirked. "You call yourself a Mandalorian, yet you wear barely any of their armour. A disgrace." Vindi spoke. Ezra leveled his gaze with Vindi. "Verd ori'shya beskar'gam." Vindi blinked. Unsure of what Ezra had just told him or called him.
"I think you shall make a nice study." Ezra narrowed his eyes, his glare filling with determination. "Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur." He spat out. Whipping out his blaster, Ezra fired upon the droids, blocking the many blaster bolts. Watching as Vindi started to run, Ezra smirked and shot at his left leg. Falling to the ground, Anakin stood before him. Vindi looked up and sighed.
Ezra quickly used the force to grab Vindi's detonator. "Nice work Ezra." Padme said. Ezra smirked. "I had it all planned. But I need to report to the council at once." Anakin blinked. "Why?" Ezra sighed. "I read his mind, searched his memories, and what I found, is not good. I found a man, the one who organised this event, to bring back the Blue Shadow Virus. Lucky for us, we can destroy the rest of the virus now." Anakin nodded. Leaving Ezra to walk out.
Walking alongside his master, Ezra sighed. "Somethings not right, Dooku doesn't seem to be the one leading the Separatist, there's someone else pulling the strings, someone hidden behind the scenes." Obi Wan nodded. "And how did you come to this?" Ezra sighed. "I searched Vindi's mind. This man, he's alien, and he seemed to have commissioned this project, but I've never seen anyone like him before." Obi Wan nodded, his eyes locked ahead of them. "Well, I'll be around when you make your report to the council." Ezra nodded, the two splitting up shortly afterwards.
