Hi. It's me. I know the previous chapter was a bit cheesy and short, but I'm not the best writer. So we've met our different heroes, but only a few have gotten to meet yet. Just wait things will get bigger and better in the next chapters. Without further ado here's chapter two, Intergalactic Malfunctions.
Chapter Two
Intergalactic Malfunctions
The midday sun shown brightly on Coruscant. The skies still busy as ever. Flying in and out through the shadow if the Jedi Temple. Within the council tower a development that could change the tide of the Clone Wars. "What say you young Marek?" Saesee Tiin inquired. "I think that, with the current situation we face, the Tesseract could be beneficial to us. The Separatists haven't even delved into this technology." Obi wan interjected. "No, they prefer biologic warfare instead." He chuckled. "As the Advisor to the High Council, I am simply a watcher. The decision for its use would fall to you." He gestured to the eleven members. The vacant seat left by Even Piell had yet to be filled. "I am simply a messenger." He concluded. "Very well," Yoda started "Consider the device we will. Meditate, I shall." The wise master finished. "Then this meeting is adjourned." Mace said.
The council members dispersed from the lift to the Council Chambers. Obi-wan walked alongside Marek. "I just don't understand why you won't accept the council's offer for a seat. You surely deserve it after all you've done for the Order and the Republic." He said persistently. "I've told you several times now my friend, I am fine with my position. In fact I prefer it." Marek responded. "Look, I know you feel undeserving of praise given what happened, but you have to let the past go." Obi-wan insisted. They had no chance to continue their conversation as Ahsoka ran up to them. "Masters," she started desperately. "There is a situation with the Tesseract. I need you to come with me immediately." Marek and Obi-wan nodded and followed Ahsoka to the chamber housing the Tesseract. They sight they saw was astonishing. All around various scientist were scrambling and communicating and in the center sat the blue cube deemed the Tesseract, frequently spewing a shower of blue substance similar to liquefied metal that dissipated in the air. Anakin walked up to the trio. "What happened?" Marek asked with a mix of the utmost concern and a touch of excitement. "We do not know." Anakin replied exhaustedly. Dr. Boll then approached. "She has been acting up." 'She' meaning the Tesseract. "Why not cut the power to it?" Obi-wan implored. Marek responded quickly. "It's an energy source. An enormous one. We stop the power it brings it back." Obi-wan tried not to be offended by Marek's you-should-know-this tone. Then the Tesseract released a huge burst of energy that expanded around the room, then recoiled to the source and formed a thick beam of blue energy. The end of the beam produced a large hole with the image of space behind it. A force began moving things in the room towards it. "It's pulling us in! Everybody get out now!" Marek yelled. "We have to seal the doors." Just as he said that command he was grabbed by the pull of the hole. Seeing this Obi-wan extended his arm to him. "Marek!" He yelled. "Hang on!" Marek grabbed hold but Obi-wan felt his body inching closer to the center of the pull. "Anakin! We need some help here!" He yelled. Anakin looked and reacted quickly. "Let's go, Snips!" He and Ahsoka flew into action. They joined hands as Ahsoka grabbed Obi-wan's and Anakin grabbed a secure railing. The pull was still to strong and soon the four Jedi were all being pulled to the hole. Just then Marek heard a faint voice in his ear. Let go. It said. He shook it off but it repeated itself, Let go. "Anakin!" He yelled. "Listen to me, you have to let go!" The others looked shocked. "What?!" They said in unison. "Trust me! You have to let go!" Anakin looked at the hole with much disgruntlement. "Here goes nothing!" He said as he began to release his grip. "Wait! Anakin, no." He heard Obi-wan scream. He unclenched his fist and he began drifting swiftly towards the hole, then allowing it the swallow him. As the four were sucked through the hole closed with a loud crack. Things settled in the large laboratory. "Doctor," said a clone officer. "What are your orders, ma'am?" He asked. "Get everyone to this location. We have to find them captain. No matter what." She replied still staring at the point where the hole vanished.
