Chapter 3 – 5 Months later and the first mission
(A/I I know it didn't take 5 months for the queen to return to Naboo, but in this one she does.)
"Working hard, shadow pet?" Rose glances up at the voice before smiling softly at her mistress.
"of course mistress, is there anything I can do to help you?" she puts down her data pad and looks back at Aayla.
"Yes there is, the council has requested our presence for a mission." Aayla smiles softly at her padawan. "We are going to be going with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and the queen of Naboo to help deal with the blockade."
"O.K mistress, I coming." Rose jumps off her bed and puts her belt on while reaching for her lightsaber.
(Flashback)
"Come on Rose, it is time to create your lightsaber." Aayla smiled at the excited look that passed over rose's face with she heard this."Have you decided on what models you will be using?"
"Yupp I am going to be creating 5 different lightsaber's with 3 different designs. The first one is going to be a light staff with the Qixoni crystal. I will be using 2 curved-hilt lightsaber's with the Durindfire crystals from Tatooine and 2 guard Shoto with Hurrikaine crystals; They will be strapped to my thighs, the curved-hilt lightsaber's will be strapped to the back of my belt or my shoulder blades and the light staff will hang off my belt like a normal lightsaber." She reached into the box and removed all off the components before laying them down on the table in front of her.
Aayla steps away from her padawan as Rose raises her arms letting lightning arc off her body, connecting to the pieces in front of her, making them rise into the air and join together.
After a few minutes, Rose slowly opens her eyes and watches as her five lightsaber's gently lower to the table and the lightning to recede into her body again.
"Congratulations Rose, you are now considered an official Jedi... or in your case an official dark Jedi." Rose looks away from her lightsaber's towards her mistress who had a look of awe on her face.
(End Flashback)
15 minutes later – Council chambers
Rose followed her mistress into the council chambers, keeping her hood up at all times as she slides into her spot behind her mistress's chair, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Queen Amidala walked confidently into the Jedi council chamber, followed by one of her handmaidens who stood next to the door out of the way.
She stood in the centre, facing master Yoda. "Greetings master Jedi. I have come before you to request the aid of one or two Jedi to help and protect myself and my group as we return to Naboo to help solve this crisis."
"An interesting proposal, you bring. An opportunity, this could be. Agree with you, I do." Master Yoda pauses slightly as he gazes at the queen. "Request specific Jedi, do you?"
"I would like to request if Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Were to come with us, however it is entirely up to you which Jedi if any you wish to send with me." She bows slightly before moving back to stand near her maiden.
"Accept your request, we do. Any other requests, are there?" Aayla Secura leans forwards slightly as she listens to Yoda.
"I would like to take my padawan with me to Naboo, she is highly skilled but will require more real-world experience if we are going to commence with our plan." Aayla watched Yoda think quietly to himself before looking back at the queen.
"Agree with you, we do. Take those four with you, you shall."
2 hours later – Naboo Cruiser
Rose relaxed in her room, removing all off her outer clothes before getting into her meditative position. Taking deep breaths, she slowly expands her senses, picking up random voices until one caught her attention.
"Something worries you master?" rose recognised the voice as Obi-Wan's.
"I do not understand why Master Secura or her Padawan is on this mission with us. I keep hearing references to some sort of plan but no one will speak of any details." Qui-Gon replied to his Padawan.
"why not just ask her if she knows, we will easily tell if she is lying or not." Rose started to get dressed again while keeping her senses open so she can continue listening.
"Agreed, we will ask her; she went into her quarters, let's go." Rose retracts her senses before vanishing into the shadows and moving towards her mistress.
Rose appeared silently in her mistress's quarters as said person meditates quietly on her bed. "Good morning Shadow pet." Aayla slowly opens her eyes and smiles softly at her Padawan. "What can I do for you?"
"Master Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are looking for me to ask about the plan the council talk about; they keep hearing references but no details, they wanted to ask me since they think I can't hide a lie." Rose moves quietly towards the bed and darts into the comfort of her mistress's open arms.
"very well, if they come we will simply say that we do not have authorisation to speak of it at all, he will have to accept it." Aayla spoke softly as she petted her currently blood red headed pet. "I have a feeling that both of them will be separated from the queens people, if that happens you are to keep with the queen and deal with any trouble you could have."
Rose yawned cutely and crinkles her nose before resting her head on her mistress's shoulder. "yes mistress, I'll make sure I am properly covered so no one will see my face or figure." Rose buried her face into Aayla's neck before drifting off to sleep in her arms.
Aayla looks down at the sleeping form in her arms and smiles softly. "Sleep well my pet." She kisses the crown of her pets head gently before closing her eyes to follow her pet into dreams.
4 Hours later – Naboo Space sector
"We are coming out of hyperspace, your highness." One of the captains said to the group behind him.
"Very well, scan the droid control ship as we pass going to the planet." Qui-Gon said quietly as he watches through the window.
Rose turns to her mistress as she is guided out of the way to speak quietly. "You remember the plan?"
"Yes mistress, I remember." rose nod and smiles softly at her mistress before glancing over her shoulder to see Obi-Wan glancing our way with a frown on his face.
Naboo surface – Gungan Swamps
"Theresa nobodies there." Jar-Jar said as he climbed out of the lake and headed towards Qui-Gon.
"Could they have been wiped out or captured?" Obi-Wan asks quietly towards his master.
"Unlikely, Gungan's are slippery creatures, they know how to survive." He says quietly before turning to Jar-Jar. "do you have any idea where they would go?"
Jar-Jar nods his head rapidly." Uh huh, theysa go to the special place; itsa sacred place." He starts walking into the forest. "Follows me, isa takes you there."
Gungan Sacred Place
Rose and her mistress watch everyone from the back as they slowly enter into the middle of a group of gungan's. Rose leans in close to her mistress. "It's a good thing that no one will fight on a sacred place, or this could go bad very quickly for us." Aayla just nods silently as they both continue to watch the queen plead for help.
"...wesa...is being friends." Rose claps politely as everyone starts moving away from the group. Rose heads back to the ship as a dark feeling spreads down her spine, she glances up at her mistress. "Did you feel that?" Aayla nods slightly with a worried expression as her Padawan continues. "I have a feeling the dark Jedi Master Qui-Gon faced before has arrived on the planet, Should I go warn them?"
"Yes I think you should, when you are finished come and meet me in my tent, I need to meditate on this." Aayla responds before moving away.
"Yes mistress." Rose watches as her Mistress walks away before turning to find the other Jedi. Once found she starts walking towards them silently but making sure she is in their vision as she approaches.
"Yes, is there anything we can do for you padawan?" Both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan look at rose when Qui-Gon says this.
"Yes Master. My Mistress and I wondered if you felt that shift in the force a few minutes ago. "Rose looks curiously at the two Jedi to see their reaction.
"Yes we both felt it, it was most disturbing." Qui-Gon glances at Obi-Wan before looking back at Rose. "What do you believe caused this?"
Rose's eyes start to glow as she looks into the distance. "The dark Jedi has arrived on the planet, but there is more... He is going to kill; he will kill one of the Jedi on this trip." Her eyes focus on the two Jedi in front of her. "Do not underestimate him; you may have the advantage when fighting together but he is uses everything at his disposal to win." With those words Rose spins on her heels and walks off towards the tents.
3 Days Later
Rose sat down next to R2-D2 and pulled out the Keyboard to begin creating and Editing a second plan while everyone else was discussing how many people are available.
Just as she finished she turned around to see Boss Nass Leading Jar-Jar away from the normal group.
"Yousa doing grand." Boss Nass said to Jar-Jar while he is just shaking his head. "Yousa Brings Gungans and the Naboo together." They both stop and Boss Nass places his hands on Jar-Jar's shoulders. "Wesa makin you... BomBad General."
"General." Jar-Jar jumps in shock before fainting. Both Rose and Boss Nass head towards the Queen laughing at Jar-Jar's reaction.
"-Capture the Viceroy." The Queen finishes showing the plan to the other Jedi and captains.
"It is a well thought out plan your Highness, but many Gungan's could be killed in this." Qui-Gon Said as he looked at Boss Nass.
"Wesa ready to do oursen part." Boss Nass responded thumping his chest with his fist.
Rose pulls up her sleep to reveal an electronic armband and starts tapping on the buttons. "You're Highness, if I may?" she gestures towards the hologram of the Gungan battle field.
"What is it Padawan Revan?" she asks as everyone looks at Rose.
"R2, accept transferred file and show it." Everyone watches as another version of the battle field shows up. "what I suggest is instead of having the entire Gungan fighting force in the middle of the field waiting, split the group into 3 parts." Everyone watches as the screen changes to match my words." The first group will be hidden in the lake near the back, ready to attack when the shields are fully activated; The second group will be standing in the middle of the group to not make the droids suspicious of an ambush; The final group will be split in two again and spread in the trees on either side of the clearing." Rose taps a few Buttons on her wrist as she feels her mistress walk up behind her. "Now as for the shields, hide them in the treeline to remove them as major targets. When the droids start to attack, the group in the trees will attack as well, forcing the droids to split into several groups to attacks them all; when this happens activate the shields so that they stay split up, making them easier pickings for the snipers in the tree's because of the smaller groups. When this shield comes up, the group of Gungans in the water will come up to help reinforce the main group of fighters. After they are dealt with it is a simple matter of using the electro balls to deal with any transportation or tanks they bring." Rose looked up at everyone to see some shocked and thoughtful faces.
"You know war very well; it is a very good plan." Qui-Gon looked at rose thoughtfully.
"Where I came from, I had to. It was the only way to survive." Rose stated bluntly and everyone could see sadness consume her mistress's features.
"Very well, let's put this plan into action." The Queen said to break the uncomfortable silence that followed that statement.
Naboo city
"Captain, prepare the explosives on the tanks." The queen said quietly as they watched the tanks and droids just down the street.
Rose listens to her surroundings and hears Qui-Gon talking to Anakin behind her. "Now when we get into the hanger you find a place to hind and stay there." She can almost hear Anakin nodding. "Stay there."
"Ready to go, your highness." Captain Panaka said as he walked back towards us.
"Alright everyone; get ready." Rose Draws one of her Curved-Hilt lightsaber's and gets ready but doesn't activate it yet. "Now!" they all start running as all the tanks explode.
Rose's P.O.V
I activate my lightsaber as I charge towards the first droid, slicing it straight through the body as I duck under a blaster bolt. "Come on, we need to get inside quickly." Captain Panaka yells out. I change direction and slice the head off one droid before throwing my sabre into the chest of another droid as I shadow walk towards the door, summoning it back to me when I arrive next to it.
As we enter the hanger both myself and my mistress sprint into the hanger, both activating our second lightsaber's as we jump into the middle of separate groups of droids and obliterating them all before the other's have a chance to react. "Watch out, Droideka." I quickly spin around in time to deflect the blaster fire from them while I notice the pilots getting into the ships and taking off. As I keep deflecting bolts I hear Qui-Gon ask someone. "Where is Anakin?" I look around and watch as a ship fires on the Droideka, destroying them before yelling to Qui-Gon. "Anakin is in that ship." And point at the craft.
As we start moving towards the door's out of the hanger I feel darkness radiating from the other side, I quickly use the force to summon the queen back to me while pointing my sabre at the door, watching as it opens, revealing the dark Jedi, removing his cloak and activating both of his lightsaber blades. Qui-Gon walks forwards with his Padawan and my mistress. "We will handle this." The Queen nods and responds. "We will take the long way round." I follow the queen but glance back at my mistress sending a silent message Stay safe mistress, come back to me
We all run down the hallway and quickly encounter more droids, starting the battle all over again. I begin to tap into my emotions and the darker side of my abilities. I feel the dark energy flow through my body as I slice down more and more droids. "We don't have time for this." I look back to see the guards and queen climb onto the edge and fire the grapple gun to the next level up. I go to the window 4 windows down and break it before force jumping to the next level, quickly hiding my lightsaber's as I feel we are walking into a trap. I swear quietly as Droideka surround us and the queen orders us to drop our weapons.
As the droids take us into a room, we see the Viceroy standing next to the throne."Ah your highness, so good of you to return. Now it is time for you to sign the treaty." I quickly spin around as I hear a voice from behind us. "I don't think so viceroy, your Occupation here has ended." I watch as she quickly starts to run while droids follow her. I draw my lightsaber and cut down the droids guarding us. "A Jedi." I point my lightsaber at his throat as the Queen walks next to me. "Now Viceroy, it is time to discuss a new treaty."
As the deal is finished, myself and the queen walk away I stumble slightly as I feel a wave of sadness and the scream of someone dying. "Are you alright?" I look to my right and see the queen holding me up, looking concerned. "I'm alright, just tired." I respond quietly and keep walking wondering who had died.
Myself and the queen walk back towards the hanger to find out what happened to my mistress and the others. I physically have to restrain myself from running into my mistress's arms when she limps through the door, with bandages covering several cuts. I walk sedately to her side and wrap an arm around her chest so she can lean against me, making it easier for her to move. "How are you holding up, mistress." I ask her quietly as I help her move towards the medical staff. "I'm alright, shadow pet. I'll live from this." I set her down on the table to get checked out and watch as her head lowers. "Qui-Gon didn't make it though, Obi-Wan and I got separated from him and he had to fight on his own, the barrier that separated us didn't come down quick enough; straight through the stomach, no chance to survive." She starts to cry quietly so I move and sit next to her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and rest her head on my shoulder. "It's alright, it is not your fault and there was nothing you could do." I whisper quietly into her ear as I watch Obi-Wan walk out of the room, following Qui-Gon's covered body.
Naboo Burial Chamber – No P.O.V
Rose and Aayla stand near the doorway, watching as Qui-Gon's body is set on fire and everyone says their goodbyes. Aayla looked down at her Padawan to see she had taken off her mask but still kept her hood up, making sure her face was in shadows but Aayla could still see a tear track down her face that was slightly lit up by the fire. As she looked around the room, she saw Master Yoda and Master Windu Talking quietly; she saw Obi-Wan talking to Anakin and Queen Amidala watching the fires silently.
Rose looked around the room and saw Chancellor Palpatine watching Anakin carefully before she turned around and walked out of the door, carefully placing her mask back on before moving through the city towards the Jedi transport. She slowly expands her senses and lets her power flow into the city, giving everyone she passes a feeling of security and protection. She slowly turns around and quietly takes in the beauty of Naboo before she silently vanishes in to the shadows.
