Chapter VII
I experienced a few bad reviews from one user, and, I am sorry, I will try to make the characters more in character, I wrote for years by the way, but I am not that cut out. And, I will not put Authors notes in the middle of the chapter!
Outside of the sulphuric planet of Lola Sayu, home to the citadel, the ship carrying the Jedi was approaching the Separatist planet when the security contacted their ship. The Jedi's life was at stake
"Separatist security" a battle droid contacted
"Moment of truth" A reprogrammed battle droid whispered
"We are delivering some separatist cargo and we need permission to land," another reprogrammed battle droid told the other end
"Starting life form scans now!"
There was a silence on the other end and all the droids were very nervous. 'Will they track the Jedi' they all thought
The life form scanners went to the end where the carbon-frozen Jedi and clones were
The Life form scanners picked up nothing
Nothing
"You may go into orbit" A battle droid said and turned of the contact
All battle droid cheered and jeered, but this wasn't over. As they landed, they took the Carbonite Blocks and took them to a portable unfreezing chamber. They all moaned and groaned, as they were unfrozen.
"Am I having Carbon-sickness or is that Ahsoka and Adenan." Obi-Wan weakly asked Anakin
"Wait. You two aren't supposed to be here!" Anakin exclaimed as he got his voice back
"But Master Plo ordered us to come!" Ahsoka argued
"Well. It's very dangerous you came here my child! You could die here," Anakin was concerned for Ahsoka
"I am trained enough to survive!" Ahsoka told Anakin
"Ok! Lets go!"
Anakin started the walk as Ahsoka stayed very close to Anakin, Adenan stayed very close to Obi-Wan and Captain Rex, Commander Cody, ARC Troopers Echo, Fives and Trooper Longshot were following them. After a few seconds, they started jogging until they reached a cliff with the bottom full of lava, and the Citadel was on top of hill full of laser trackers
"Laser trackers! Great!" Anakin said sarcastically
"Just because this is going to be hard doesn't mean you have to be sarcastic" Obi-Wan reprimanded his former apprentice
"Yes master" Anakin said
"Remember, Anakin, you are no longer my apprentice" Obi-Wan reminded Anakin as they thought of a way to get up
"Well, they'll track our grappling hooks," Echo said
"And we don't have jetpacks" Fives exclaimed
"Well then, we will just have to do it the old fashioned way. Using rock climbers and ropes"
Everyone said "Aww", groaned or sighed. Because that the way they were going to do it was very tiring, and they had to do it on a very narrow space
"Great! I am getting tired, and bored!" Ahsoka angrily shouted
"Well, patience Ahsoka" Anakin told Ahsoka
"Oh! So you don't call her Snips anymore!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, surprised
"Master Qui-Gon told me not to call each other by nicknames" Ahsoka explained
"So a lot has changed since Mortis" Obi-Wan replied
"Yup" Anakin answered
The clones Echo and Longshot were close to each other and near the top. Everyone used their energy and strength and made it to the top. Except Longshot, he lost his grip.
"Longshot!" Fives exclaimed
It was too late; he fell into one of those lasers and got incinerated by the laser. The security was activated and the back entrance was shielded. There and then, it was found that they couldn't do it without Adenan
"I crawl into the ventilation pipes and deactivate the shield from the inside," Adenan advised
"At least it wasn't me, or I would've had to squeeze through!" Ahsoka explained
"Do it!" Obi-Wan said
So Adenan used a force jump to get into the ventilation pipes and then crawled into the Citadel and deactivated the shield from the inside. Meanwhile at Master Piell's torture chamber, some Commando Droids were using lightning on Master Piell.
"You decide when the pain will stop, all you have to do is give the coordinates to the Nexus Route"
The Nexus route was a hyperspace route that Master Piell knew half of. And the Separatists, thinking he knew all of it, taken him to the torture chamber. At the other side of the corridor, Anakin and his rescue team were coming to rescue him. But some Commando Droids who were guarding the place attacked them. The attack was caught on camera and the one in charge of the Citadel, Sobeck, magnetised the wall. So, with that, all of the lightsabers and blasters went up, and all of them were forced to fight using unarmed combat. Anakin lifted his hand to punch, and he want floating up and his robotic hand got stuck in it.
"Master!" Ahsoka cried
"I am okay Ahsoka!" Anakin said
"At least!" Adenan said
Anakin watched for a while until he decided he had enough, so he reached for his lightsaber.
"Uh uh uh!" Sobeck, who saw Anakin reaching for his lightsaber, chided "You can't do that"
Sobeck activated a electrical surge, which was conducted to Anakin through his metal hand. Anakin screamed because he was in agony. Ahsoka would've noticed his screams if it hadn't been for the battle happening downward. Obi-Wan punched a Commando Droid's face and Captain Rex kicked another, the droid were trying to not get up and get electrified like Anakin. Ahsoka decided she had enough, 'If I had my lightsaber, I would use my Form VII' she thought, then with a quick move she used a force wave on the droids. The droids activated their metal-padded shoes, which magnetised them to the ground, on failed to do that and was stuck to the top wall. Anakin saw this as an opportunity, he tried to grab his lightsaber and Sobeck used electrical currents on him. He got electrocuted and the droid got damaged. He was in agony, but he grabbed Ahsoka's new white photo and used it to damage the magnet sensors. All the weapons and Anakin dropped to the ground. Everyone except for the damaged droid picked up their weapons.
"Where's my shoto?" Ahsoka asked
"Here" Anakin threw the shoto to Ahsoka, who quickly grabbed and activated it
Anakin grabbed his own curved lightsaber and began to use Form II, a lightsaber form Qui-Gon recently taught him
After they defeated the droid, the people that remained in the group walked. As they were walking, Anakin and Obi-Wan were having a conversation
"You have some explaining to do" Obi-Wan told Anakin
"What explanations?" Anakin asked, he wasn't so secretive anymore
"I saw you use a basic Form II mashed up with a basic Form V, what happened to Form V?" Obi-Wan asked
"Well, since I built my new white lightsaber curved, I had to master Form II, but I am still training on it," Anakin answered
Adenan, who was Obi-Wan's current apprentice, watched them talk, and then he saw and pointed at the door where Master Piell was in
"Say goodbye to your one good eye" A commando droid exclaimed.
He was trying to put a syringe through his only good eye, his left eye was lost when he was protecting his planet's prince. Before the droids could do that, Anakin and his group burst into the torture chamber and cut off the heads of both of the droids before they could make him blind.
"Master Skywalker! Took you long enough!" Even Piell chided
"At least your humour isn't gone!" Anakin himself humorously said
"Now lets get out of here!" Obi-Wan warned
So they all walked out when Master Piell had to say something, he said "I only have half the coordinates"
"What?" Anakin replied
"Yes! I erased the coordinates from my ship's memory banks, and I memorised half the coordinates, my captain has the other half" he explained
"Now to got your captain" Anakin sighed, 'Now there were more people to escape with' he thought
So they fought and ran towards the cell where Captain Willhuff Tarkin and his troops were.
"So, you have half the coordinates?" Anakin asked
"Yes, but I am not telling you Jedi!" Tarkin hissed, he had a severe distrust for Jedi
"Me and my Master are not Jedi!" Ahsoka exclaimed, pointing at her master
"Oh really, then, why are you on a Republic mission and you are armed with lightsabers?" Tarkin asked
"They both became part of the Lost Twenty-Three, but they still support the Jedi" Obi-Wan explained
"Oh. That explains it!" Tarkin said
"We must go! Now!" Anakin instructed
They all ran out of the prison when they found out that they were being followed, so they made a plan divide into groups, with Kenobi, Adenan, Cody and a few troops make a diversion. Then, while the diversion is happening, Tarkin, Piell, Anakin and Ahsoka escaped into a cave with a few troopers, but going in wasn't easy, since Tarkin didn't trust the Jedi Archives, which was the source of finding the cave and openly criticised the idea but he figured that Anakin wont fight his criticisms it so he went in.
