AthenaRome.-
Okay as I promised this chapter will be much longer but I'm including Obi-Sha and Anaka (genderflipped Obi-Wan and Anakin respectably) along with Ashoka and this chapter will be beginning in Anaka's perspective before switching to Jedi Sentinel Juno Thermosphere, who gets the majority if the Chapter to herself. Please Read, Review, and Enjoy!
The Consequences of Forbidden Force.
Chapter II.
The Clone Wars: Part I.
Juno Thermosphere.
Anaka Skywalker's perspective,
"Alright Ashoka, next is Juyo, the controversial seventh form of Lightsaber combat, used by many famed Jedi such as Vrook Lamar, Juno Thermosphere, and Mace Windu. You must tap into he Dark Side for this form, a feat that few can use without falling, Master Windu is the only current member of the order to use it as anything other than a last resort, research it and afterwards if you are still willing I'll allow you to practice it." I instructed.
"Okay Sky-Chick but I've already learned how to use Shien with two Lightsabers and I'm doing just fine, why do I need to learn another form?"
"Well Snips, the Council requires apprentices to have training in multiple forms during time of war, you already know Ataru and Shien so I figured it would be easiest to learn either Juyo or Soresu, I'm giving you the opinion to learn Juyo so you won't get-" I was interrupted by Obi-Sha, my old master.
"Anaka, Ashoka, the council requests your presence, now!" Obi-Sha's voice was urgent so me and my Padawan quickly made our way to the Council Chambers.
Master Kenobi was just taking her seat, only Yoda, Mace Windu, Shaak Ti, and Kenobi where the only one's present at the moments, they looked very very serious.
"Knight Skywalker, a disturbance on Yavin 4, there is." spoke the elderly Grandmaster Yoda.
"We feel a great darkness, accompanied by a equally powerful light. Tell me Skywalker, can you feel the disturbance?" Asked Master Windu.
"I can feel a raging darkness, a weaker but just as chaotic darkness, a third darkness but one that is strangely light, and a overwhelming light." I replied.
"Then you know the more than the rest of The Order." Shaak Ti said.
"Anaka, you, Ashoka, and I are going to investigate this disturbance.
Juno Thermosphere's perspective.
The first thing my body registered is the cold stone ground, the next thing I registered was that I could sense three presences, one was awake, the others were unconscious and something felt...wrong about them, very wrong.
After I few minutes I could properly sense in color, I obviously couldn't see due to my lack of eyes. I sensed Darth Nox, she was in distress, so much distress that she didn't even care that I was awake.
"The Century Engine," Nox said suddenly, her voice lacking its usual arrogance and authority "It shouldn't have done this, not one text told of these results, not one." I then sensed Waht she meant, in Scourge's armor was a very feminine Sith Pureblood, in the robes of Nox's Kalee apprentice was a Kalee woman. The Century Engine had turned Scourge and The Kalee were turned into females.
After a minute I started checking myself, I sighed in relief, I felt an elevated chestpiece and when I pressed my legs together I felt the normal feeling, thank the force.
"Congratulations, you made a fool of yourself instead of simply asking." Nox said in a voice that was both dry and condescending. Then I realized what she meant, if I wasn't wearing a mask a Sih Lord would've seen me blush.
I sensed Scourge starting to stir, he'd be angry-I think, I don't exactly know how a immortal Sith who was enslaved by the Emperor for three centuries would react to a unwanted sex-change. Somehow he-she seemed to realize it immediatly yet didn't panic.
"How did this happen?" Scourge asked calmly, picking up the vibrosword with ease despite the fact it was know very large in comparison to her body, which was my height but a slightly larger build, fortunately for her the armor changed size to reflect her body.
"The Sith says it was The Century Engine, though I-" The Kalee awoke and was about to attack me in panic when she realized Scourge's condition, then that of her own. Instead of asking she looked at Nox, expecting a answer.
"As The Jedi was saying, the Century Engine is responsible." Nox pulled out a unique datapad "I brought this device to the ruins just in case, it appears that we have been sent forward in time." She typed a fee commands and soon she continued "Nearly four thousand years into the future, come Xalek we shall find transport then seek out the Sith." I stopped her.
"The Sith may have lost. I sense light in the galaxy, the Jedi still exist, if the Jedi exist then they will have a Republic to gaurd, please Nox allow yourself to embrace the light, you can be redeemed." I pleaded with the Red-skinned Twi'Lek when suddenly we were interrupted by one of three figures who had apparently been watching us.
"The Sith rise every few centuries and each time the Republic and the Jedi destroy them, even now the Republic is the Republic gnawing away at Darth Tyranus' Separatists and soon we'll find his Master and end this." a brunette human female accompanied by another brunette human and a Togruta, a sensed that they where all Servants of the Light, though the most powerful seemed darker than the others, I've used the Juyo Form for a over a year, I knew well of the dangers of the Dark Side, and she was only a few bad steps away from a free fall into darkness.
"Are you implying that there are only two Sith?" Nox growled.
"Tyranus-Count Dooku and his master, the Rule of Two has existed among the Sith since Darth Bane." The Jedi Master, I'm assuming, explained.
"Well I shall make there be four."
"Are you aware of the horrors the Sith have done?" the Togruta yelled.
"I've done worse then any Sith you've meant, girl."
"The Sith are supporting the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a group of alien businesses aimed at destroying the Republic via a massive droid army, The Techno Union alone is infamous for its attacks on Ryloth and slavery of its citizens." interrupted the Falling Jedi, she was trying to use every possible angle to get Nox's support.
"Some are to weak to defend themselves against those stronger than themselves." Nox shrugged off. I finally had enough and removed my mask I metaphorically looked into the Sith's eyes.
"You can't hide the fact you care for your own people, why even bother?" I asked.
"Because she is still believing a self-destructive Code and refuses to leave her flawed principals" Scourge surprisingly said "But we are misplaced in time and the only sure truth is that these Jedi are willing to help us. Besides we need resources and a place to train and rest, that much you must be able to see even if you don't see the error in the ways of following the Sith Code to the letter."
"Well as one of you stated you have gone forward in time due to this...Century Engine. Things have changed much since then, the Republic only recently reformed their army, the Sith have taken a political route, enforcing their rule with the Separatist droid army, not to mention that the Republic itself uses a Clone Army." Said the Jedi Master.
"Clones and droids? By the Force, where is the honor among warriors?" Said the Kalee.
"In a shell off white metal being used by the Sith as a killing machine." the young Togruta quipped.
"What?" The Kalee asked.
"Look maybe it's better if we introduce ourselves. I'm Anaka Skywalker, this is my former Master Obi-Sha Kenobi, and my Padawan Ashoka Tano."
"I'm Jedi Sentinel Juno Thermosphere. This is Lord Scourge, a Sith that betrayed her Emperor, or his at the time. He became a she because of the Century Engine, I don't know why or how but it happened." I metaphorically looked at Nox.
"I am Tethys Gigantes, a Dark Counciler in my own time, a ally of the Jedi in this time, but make no mistake I will never turn to the Light. Nor will Xalek."
"We'll see." Ashoka muttered.
"Let's report to the Jedi Council."
Alright so Nox and Xalek agree to side with the Jedi but for how along? Wait and see...
The next chapter will continue in Juno Thermosphere's perspective, but don't worry Tethys Gigantes, once Darth Nox will have a perspective, she's gonna make her own plans very soon...
