Chapter 31
You know, knowing that Grandpa McFly's Adventure is complete makes me a bit more comfortable, since I wont have to write as much! It has seven chapters, go check it out if you haven't, and on the 'have' list is only canonman89.
"Where are my targets?" Maul demanded
"We've identified them to these locations" Visla answered
"As I said, if we take them by force, our people will turn against us" Maul told the Death Watch leader
"I will use my army of crime lords to attack different targets across Sundari to undermine the Duchess's rule" Maul started
"Our gangsters will make her look too weak to maintain control" Savage continued
"Then you and your Death Watch Capture and arrest us, bringing order where Satine's weak government could not" Maul finished
"We'll be saviours" Visla gleed
All of the others commented on the plans, and when they got out, Visla and Bo-Katan planned on betraying Maul and his forces, while Maul and Opress could do the same, meanwhile, 5000 clicks away, on the heart of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi, Coruscant. Anakin was running towards the Jedi, to the Council room where he interrupted a meeting
"Master Skywalker! Why are you interrupting this meeting?" Plo Koon asked
"I found some potential Sith!" Anakin panted
"Potential Sith? Please don't tell me it's…" Obi-Wan mumbled, but was interrupted by Anakin's strong voice
"Both of them are Zabraks, I don't recognise them, sorry. But one is tall and thin, has red and black skin, another is also tall, but… kind of chubby. Yellow and Black skin! The Red one seems familiar somehow" Anakin explained
"Great Scott! That's Darth Maul and Savage Opress!" Obi-Wan exclaimed
"Who?" Anakin asked
"Two Sith I have been looking for, I knew they were alive! Where are they?" Obi-Wan asked
"I don't know for sure, but I felt Force Resonances telling me that it has something to do with Mandalore" Anakin said
"So there we are sending you, take Padawan Tano you will, and probably ask Mandalore to join the Republic you will" Yoda assigned
"Yes Master Yoda!" The young Jedi Master exclaimed and left
Anakin gone to Mandalore, but he did not take Ahsoka on this one, he sensed that this one was too dangerous, he could bet that Obi-Wan was hearing his thoughts because he can sense his presence where he was not supposed to, he closed his mind shields quickly and Obi-Wan's presence quickly snapped close, he told his name and went to Sundari Palace
"Ah Knight Skywalker! How are you?" Satine asked
"Good, but I am not a Jedi Knight, I got promoted" Anakin corrected
"So it's, Master Skywalker?" Satine asked
"Yes your majesty" Anakin said
"Please, call me Satine" Satine told the Grey Jedi
"Then you can call me Anakin" Anakin innocently said
"Aww… your so sweet" Satine complimented
Anakin stood up and kissed Satine's arm
"So, how are your friends?" Satine asked
"Yes, Obi-Wan's good, and so is Padmé, but I must tell for a fact that she's my wife" Anakin told the Duchess
"Ooh! Congratulations! But I thought the Jedi were not supposed to have attachments?" Satine looked hopeful
"Yes, but I joined a group that the Jedi accept, but our rules are not the same as theirs" Anakin confessed
"Oh. I guess they still fight the war" Satine dropped it out
"Yes, but I am so tired of this war!" Anakin fumed
"I am too, personally, but I have no power to stop the war" Satine told Anakin
"Yes, but talking is not why I came" Anakin said
"So, why did you come?" Satine asked
"I came to protect you, look Satine, you are in a great danger!" Anakin told
"Great Danger? I thought I said I had nothing to do with the war!" Satine exclaimed
"No, not Clone Wars related, two Sith, renegade Sith, nothing to do with the Separatist, I assure you! They plotted something, I saw one of their negotiations, I heard they are plotting something against Mandalore" Anakin explained
"Oh no! This is bad! And theres no doubt that the Death Watch are involved! Everything against us are with the Death Watch!" Satine panicked
"Ok" Anakin answered
"I will give you charge of my security, that should help" Satine theorised
"That's not enough" Anakin interrupted
"Why?" Satine asked
"I need permission to speak out on behalf of you sometimes" Anakin confessed
"Do you have the political training?" Satine asked
"Yeah! I did those sorts of things since I was nine! But I didn't pay much attention until now" Anakin confessed again
"So, you have my permission" Satine obliged
"Good, Look under your noses!" Anakin advised
Meanwhile, while Anakin was making progress in his plans, the Crime Lords started attacking their targets, the first one, the Black Sun started attacking the docks by infesting Spice Shipments, they took out all the security working there, while another group was stealing the banks, Satine and Anakin appealed to the citizen's complaints
"I need all of you to remain calm" Satine exclaimed "These attackers are just thugs bought on by the lowest elements!"
"Duchess Satine has bought us to ruin!" Visla exclaimed
"Death Watch!" Satine seethed
"Stay Back!" Anakin, new temporary head of security, ordered his guards
"Visla, you must be the one responsible for these attacks." Satine blamed
"No, I'm not responsible." Visla denied "But I can offer a solution. People of Mandalore I am Pre Visla of clan Visla. Death Watch is here to save you from these intergalactic gangsters that threaten our great city. This is a war, and we will win. Join me and let us defend Mandalore against the criminals. We need action, not pacifism."
"Silence!" Anakin shouted, using the force to amplify his voice "Do not listen to him! I have proof. Proof that he, Pre Visla, is the one who orchestrated this invasion of this beautiful planet!"
"What? How did you know? Err… I mean, orchestrated? How?" Visla tried to cover up his involvement to take over Mandalore
"Don't play coy with me! I saw you negotiate with the Hutts! Which is one of the crime families that are invading this planet!" Anakin exclaimed "I even have the holovid right here!"
Anakin quickly put a cartridge into the broadcasting hologram, which came out like a big screen and showed the Sith killing the Hutts, with Visla, Negotiating to invade Mandalore, with Visla and coming to an agreement, the citizens were screaming to get rid of the Death Watch
"I will get rid of these imposters, your days of warrior past are over! The Jedi are same too, without change, you wont evolve to a changing galaxy!" Anakin exclaimed
The Crowd were chanting Anakin's name, Visla, was grumbling, because he now failed and tried to blast a missile on Satine, who Anakin pushed out of the way. He then ordered some guards to seize the Crime Families, and then got into the palace and called his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi
"Anakin! I didn't expect you for reinforcements!" Obi-Wan exclaimed
"I have found out that the Death Watch, yeah, the same one that you and Ahsoka met, orchestrated a war on Mandalore!" Anakin exclaimed
"Ok! I will come with a barge of Clones, and Adenan!" Obi-Wan exclaimed
"And bring Ahsoka too" Anakin requested
"Bring? Wait… you're telling me you defied the Council? Well, this isn't the first time, ok, I will come with two legions of Clone Troopers, led by Me, Adenan, Commander Cody, Captain Rex and Ahsoka" Obi-Wan concluded the conversation and turned off the hologram
Outside the Military Base on Coruscant, Obi-Wan was loading in all the reinforcements he requested, except Ahsoka, who was in Dragitor. They all jumped to hyperspace to Dragitor now, when landed, they were welcomed by Qui-Gon
"Obi-Wan! What an honour to have you here!" Qui-Gon exclaimed
"Sorry, this is hardly an honour" Obi-Wan told his former master "I need Ahsoka, Anakin is leading a war against the Death Watch!" Obi-Wan exclaimed
"Reinforcements I presume, I will come too. Anakin needs help more than you realise!" Qui-Gon exclaimed, running to the Monastery, getting Ahsoka and the supplies
All the Jedi stepped into the ship and quickly jumped to Hyperspace to Mandalore, when they got there, they say strong explosions coming off an area, Obi-Wan presumed that the war was going on there and ordered to blockade the area, when they came, Ahsoka hugged Anakin and they all went to save the people. by then, the Death Watch and the Crime Families were terrorising the Peace Park, where Ahsoka and a few Clone Troopers went. They captured all the criminals and Ahsoka comforted a few troubled kids, while at the docks, Obi-Wan and Adenan captured the criminals there with some clone troopers, and saved the guards. Anakin went to confront Savage Opress and the bank robbers. Captain Rex opened the crate
"Captain Rex, Republic Clone Trooper" Rex introduced himself
"You have my thanks Captain!" One guard thanked as Anakin chased after Savage
"What? You're not supposed to be here!" Savage exclaimed
"I am, your plans with the Death Watch failed!" Anakin exclaimed as he went to his Form II stance
Savage knew this was not a pretend duel, he actually had to fight, so he started fighting the Jedi, who was so skilled he took him out without breaking a sweat. But Savage then escaped, before Anakin could immobilise him. Meanwhile on Coruscant, Palpatine sensed war on Mandalore, with Maul leading the invading side, and the Republic indirectly being involved in the war, he told his supervisor to prepare his ship. He left immediately, earlier than what he would have, now the Jedi and Satine surrounded Maul and his brother with their weapons drawn, Ahsoka and Anakin started duelling Maul, Obi-Wan and Adenan started duelling Savage, they started spinning their lightsabers at each other, creating electric fields of blue, white, orange and red at two spots, Maul pushed Ahsoka to a wall, rendering her unconscious, that's when a teenager, about 14, wearing a green set of Mandalorian Armour came into the room, and shot a missile from his back to Maul, who flew across the room and almost falling. Anakin recognised him immediately
"Boba!" Anakin exclaimed
"Well, I did say I owe you one from that rescue you gave me from Asajj Ventress!" Boba exclaimed
"Now, let's fight this guy!" Anakin exclaimed, still excited from seeing his friend
"Sure!" Boba took Ahsoka's first lightsaber and activated it, seeing Maul come up, and a hooded figure entering the room
"Hello, Jedi!" Sidious greeted
"Master?" Maul asked "Master!" Maul bowed
"Sidious!" All the Jedi, except the unconscious Ahsoka exclaimed
"Who are you?" Obi-Wan demanded
"That, is classified" Sidious answered
"Ok! Obi-Wan, take Maul, Adenan, take Savage, we'll take Sidious!" Anakin ordered
So, the duel went on as Anakin ordered it too, he and Boba jumped, in Boba's case, flew to a walkway hanging from the roof and started duelling, Obi-Wan and Maul went to another room in the palace while Adenan and Savage dueled where they were. Anakin and Boba were advancing Sidious, Boba shot another missile, Sidious dodged it and ran, knowing that he had to retreat to accomplish this another way, Anakin and Boba chased after him and he escaped in his ship
"Hey! He stole the Chancellors ship!" Anakin exclaimed, filled with rage
"Great! There goes the big mystery of the Republic!" Boba exclaimed
Meanwhile, Adenan jumped, as he jumped over Savage, he activated his blue shoto, formerly Faro's and cut off Savage's head, just when Maul dueled Obi-Wan back into the main room, to see Savage dead
"Savage!" Maul exclaimed and went to him
"Brother, I am an unworthy apprentice, I'm not like you, I never was" Savage said his last words and died
"You will pay!" Savage fumed as he activated his red lightsaber
Maul charged in angrily at Obi-Wan and Adenan, Anakin and Boba came into the room, seeing Maul alone and Opress died, they charged at him, but Maul somehow knew he lost, so he jumped, and escaped in a Death Watch ship
"Well, he escaped too. Too bad" Anakin shrugged
"Escaped? Escaped? Do you know what this means, Skywalker!" Obi-Wan fumed
"Uh oh!" Anakin muttered
"This means that the Sith might continue to grow if we let this happen again!" Obi-Wan continued to explain "And we have enough Sith to deal with already!"
"Okay Okay! I get the point, but I'm pretty sure Sidious will deal with him, so in a way, we'll have the advantage" Anakin said
"Sure sure!" Obi-Wan told
"Jedi!" Satine exclaimed "I want to thank you for your efforts of saving my planet, so in return, I will join the Republic"
"Mission Complete" Anakin cooly said and flopped onto a chair
Obi-Wan actually planned something to do out of this mission, after seeing Anakin and Padmé, his love has become unavoidable, so he took out a box and kneeled near Satine
"Duchess Satine Kryze, I always did love you, but now, my love has become unavoidable, I can't live without you, will you marry me?" Obi-Wan asked
Satine gasped and excitedly exclaimed "Of course of course!"
"Congratulations! Can I be one of the groomsmen?" Anakin asked
"Sure Anakin!" Obi-Wan cheered, that's when Ahsoka groaned
"Ahsoka!" Anakin exclaimed and went to her "How do you feel?"
"Ugh! Okay" Ahsoka answered
"Did you know that Obi-Wan and the Duchess are now engaged?" Anakin asked
Ahsoka hit the wall, literally, and a bit later, the marriage took place in Dragitor and Qui-Gon's order has been renamed to the Grey Jedi Order, since saying was a bit hard
Especially for me! Okay, now I'll stop the chapter here. NEXT CHAPTER: DARTH VADER VS DARTH MAUL
