Chapter 4
UTAPAU
The T-6 Shuttle was on the green grasses of Utapau, above the sinkhole which housed Pau City. Both Obi-Wan and Anakin were afraid if they had landed in the middle of the city, Grievous our one of his droids would notice them, and that would ruin their plan. But there had been a Pau'an, Tion Medon who reluctantly agreed to meet them in the plains. Tion had informed them Grievous was holding them as hostages, and if he discovered them working with the Jedi, they would be murdered.
Anakin and Obi-Wan both infiltrated Pau City, in search of Grievous' base. The Pau'ans purposely ignored them, as both Jedi walked around. Eventually, they were on top of a vent in a large opening, where they noticed Grievous speaking to a holographic Count Dooku. All they could hear out from their distance away was Dooku saying "They will try to come for you." and Grievous responding with, "I will defeat them, my lord." before Dooku's hologram fizzled out.
Obi-Wan watched as Grievous exited the room with the holoprojector with two Magna-Guards, and walked away. Anakin and Obi-Wan both looked at eachother, before turning to Grievous, who was staring right back up at them.
"You cannot hide from me." Grievous said, then coughed. The two Magna-Guards returned with Tion Medon cuffed. Grievous looked at the Pau'an.
"Traitor. Kill him." Grievous ordered, and soon the Pau'an lay on the metal floor with an electrostaff through his stomach. Obi-Wan's eyes widened, and he jumped down, followed by Anakin. Grievous' arms split, and soon four lightsabers were held. The two Magna-Guards charged at Anakin, but he easily sliced them in half. Grievous began spinning his lightsabers in a circle, and clashed with both Obi-Wan and Anakin's at the same time.
"You will never defeat me!" Grievous cackled as he lurched forward.
Yoda sat on a cushion in his meditative room. He had felt a presence, and decided to meditate on it.
There is only darkness, then there are two lightsabers. One white, one red. The sabers clash, and soon two more white sabers appear, held by the same person. Another singular red blade appears, and they begin to fight in a flurry of attacks. Yoda assumes this is two sith versus two... other people? One of the red sabers, the second one that appeared, is flung back. The two white sabers rush towards that one, but they are flung backwards, leaving the two original sabers to fight. They swing and crash, but soon, the darkness dissapears. Two robed figures of whom he does not recognize, are seen. The Sith figure seems to be taller. The other figure jumps back, and there is a series of events that Yoda has trouble explaining.
First, there is the white-sabered figure lying on the ground.
Then, there is a funeral, with several people Yoda recognizes, including Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and himself.
After that, there is a large temple in the middle of the forest.
Yoda awakens from his meditative state. He stands up, and exits the chambers. He travels to the Archives to see what this strange temple is.
Grievous clashes with Anakin and Obi-Wan's sabers simotaneously. The cyborg cackles and throws his foot into Anakin's chest as he flies backwards into a wall. At this point, there are four more Magna-Guards nearby and they begin to creep towards Anakin. Obi-Wan manages to slice off one of Grievous' arms, as they begin to walk towards a hangar bay. The Magna-Guards begin to shock Anakin and he has trouble fending them off.
Obi-Wan looks over to Anakin, then back to Grievous. He reaches his arm out, and grasps a green lightsaber that had come from Grievous.
"Fool! You cannot defeat me, not with one, or with two lightsabers!" Grievous growls, before spinning his third arm around, blocking any of Obi-Wan's attacks. Meanwhile, Anakin, with the remaining energy he has, grasps onto one of the Magna-Guards' electrostaffs and blocks off any of the other attacks, before he can regain his lightsaber which is a few meters to his left. Once he has that, he brings it through one of the Magna-Guard's middle. The electrostaff in his hold is sent through another one's face, and the other two are easily sliced in half.
Grievous looks to the scene, then back to Obi-Wan, of whom he is still clashing with. Anakin begins to run towards the General, when two battalions of droids appear in the back of the large room. Obi-Wan smiles, then Commander Cody and lots of the 212th Attack Battalion jump in from gunships. Grievous growls, and runs towards his ship, while on the way, slicing and dicing clones.
Grievous hops into his ship and flies off, but in the distance, over Pau City, the ship tumbles towards the ground after a few clones shot at it. Grievous is also seen jumping out onto the plains below. Both Obi-Wan and Anakin look at eachother, then fly over to the plains in a gunship. Obi-Wan senses that something is troubling Anakin, and decides to ask about it.
"Anakin, is something wrong?" the elder Jedi Master questions.
"I sensed Ahsoka." Anakin says, before turning to Obi-Wan, who raises an eyebrow. "Something was blocking her force signature, but now I can sense it, and she seems calm." Obi-Wan rubs his chin.
"Either that means someone rescued her, she escaped, or..." Obi-Wan stops.
"Or what?" Anakin responds. Obi-Wan opens his mouth, but says nothing.
"Or that Dooku actually turned her to the Dark Side."
[AHSOKA POV]
Dooku is standing in front of my cell. There's still blood everywhere, and he has feed me next to nothing. The monster seems to enjoy it. At a point, he sighs, and stares me in the eyes.
"I want a new assassin, and you're the perfect one for the job." the Count states, walking into my cell. I don't bother doing anything. He smiles, and unleashes Force lightning upon me. I can't fight back, there's no point. All I feel is pain, but he stops.
"You are going to become my apprentice. If you don't, I will continue this." he states. Dooku chuckles before walking out of my cell. I see him turn to the left, but someone who looks vaguely familiar in a cloak walks over to the cell, and opens the door. I study her face, and I realize it's Asajj Ventress.
"You're coming with me." Ventress states, and drags me out of the cell.
"Wha-" I begin, but she cuts me off by covering my mouth.
"I always had something for you, Ahsoka." Ventress states. The way she says my name is somewhat unexpected. "And Dooku betrayed me, so I'm getting you out of here." I look around, and there's no sign of anyone. I do see, however, several dead Magna-Guards littered around.
"What are you going to do with me?" I choke out. Ventres smiles, but doesn't answer. The next thing I know, I'm on a ship. Ventress somewhat throws me onto a bed, and locks the door to the small room. At last I feel something other than pain. It's not the first time Ventress has been nice to me, but I still don't understand why she wants me. I hear the ship take off, as I drift off to sleep.
After only a few minutes, I hear a large crash. Ventress' ship jolts to the side and I fly across the room and hit the wall. I try to open the door, but it's still locked tight. I can then hear lightsabers, another loud crash, then the whole world is black again. My eyes open to see Dooku looking down upon me.
"Ah, my old apprentice decided to rescue you. The apprentice rescues the new apprentice. Funny." the Count says before I am electrocuted, and wake up in the same cell. Dooku smiles and walks out of the room, and I look to my right where I see Ventress, who's in bad shape, worse than me.
"Ventress?" I weakly whisper, shaking her. Her eyes jolt open, and she gasps.
"Ah... how-" she begins, but stops when she sees me. "Oh, you."
[THIRD PERSON]
"No, that could never happen!" Anakin yells. "That's just worse case scenario. She couldn't be!"
"Anakin, calm down." Obi-Wan responds. "I don't know if Ahsoka has, it's merely what could happen." He puts an arm on Anakin's shoulder. Anakin lets out deep breaths.
"I guess." Anakin said, before the gunship landed in the grassy fields, near Grievous' starship. Both of the Jedi exit with a few clones, and they see Grievous' legs crushed under the weight of his ship. The General is coughing, and growls when Obi-Wan nears him.
"General Grievous, you are arrest." he states. Anakin laughs at this.
"I didn't think it was funny." one of the clones says mockingly, and that only causes Anakin to laugh harder. Obi-Wan smiles and drags Grievous out from the wreckage and back on the gunship.
Yoda enters the Council chambers after a long time of researching in the Archives. Several other Masters are there, speaking about the state of war and the news from Utapau that Grievous had been captured. Several of the Masters looked at Yoda, sensing something is wrong.
"Master Yoda, is something wrong?" Stass Allie asked.
"A strange vision, I had." Yoda said. The Masters stopped their talking and listened to the Grandmaster. "Two hooded figures, there were. A white lightsaber, one had. A red lightsaber, the other had."
"White lightsabers? Those are very rare." Windu said, and Kit Fisto smiled because he thought Windu was jealous because of his purple saber.
"Two others, there were. Attacking eachother, they all were." Yoda continued, ignoring Windu's statement. "Unknown, the figures are."
"What do you suspect it is?" Master Ti asked.
"A vision of the future, it is. A dark future, I sense." Yoda stated. The room was silent. "Occuring, something else is."
In the next chapter, Grievous is sent back to Coruscant, Ahsoka and Ventress have a problem, and Yoda speaks to Qui-Gon.
