A Battle of Friendship

Chapter 4: Redemption

"Can you hear me Jacob?" said Ryan into his comlink

"Load and clear, do you see this Anthony guy?" replied Jacob

"Yeah I see him, It looks like I was right. He is just sitting there waiting for me. I wonder why though." said Ryan

"Well no better way to find out by going up and confronting him, and remember I do have over half our clone army waiting on standby for you. So if you get into any kind of trouble just yell help into the comlink and we will be there."

"Yeah I know and be on alert at all times, we don't know what he is up to."

With that Ryan readied himself and started walking towards Anthony. He noticed that there were bodies laying everywhere. Most of them looked like guards but some looked like Jedi or Sith. This made Ryan wonder. Anthony was about 200 yards away from him. He could see him floating in the air while he was meditating. As Ryan walked he started to see some dead people who were dressed way to fancy to be guards or Jedi. He wondered if they were the people Anthony had said he would kill. If it was that meant Anthony had been here earlier and killed these people. Who knows how long he has been here.

"Ah Ryan, How are you?" said a voice that was so cold it could stop somebodies heart.

"I am doing fine I guess, what about you old friend?" replied a calm Ryan. Jedi training had helped him to control his anger.

"Me? I never thought you would ask! Well I am doing splendid. As you can see my job here has been done with no distractions. The poor chancellor was killed even before he walked into his house. What a shame but he was corrupted. You did know that right?"

"Corrupted? What do you mean by that?" questioned Ryan

"Well you see, his mind wasn't fully there. It had been twisted and misshaped until he was just a mindless zombie for the controller. He did what ever he was told and only obeyed this person. It was bad business. Especially for the republic." replied Anthony

"What do you mean for the republic? He was a republican politician, and he was one of the highest ranked ones to"

"Ah yes but with a separatist controlling a republican mind things could go bad. If he wanted to have this law be passed or this one not all he would have to do is tell his zombie and it would happen. He could destroy the republic from the inside and would you like that to happen?"

"Well no... but how did he get corrupt in the first place?"

"Your always full of questions are you not? Ha-ha well its better you want to learn then you wanting to know nothing. Its called the sith. They control the separatist, so all they did was at high counsel meetings between the two he snuck in as one of the separatist leaders. So then when the chancellor was up and talking he used the force to mess with his mind. Changing him little by day until he went into compleat zombie. Sad isn't it? Well that's politics, they destroy you from the inside."

"Wow I would have never thought this. Well what were you doing on that planet where you left me to rot?"

"Oh you mean the moon of Vagon VI. That was a separatist base. I went there to kill Sith commander. He was being rather a nuisance and I sensed that everyone would be more happy if he were dead. Heck one left Sith for you Jedi to worry about. About that leaving you to rot thing. You were never left there to rot. I stayed a mile away just incase you were dumber then I predicted and didn't signal your ship."

"Wait you killed a Sith? I thought you were Sith.. How can you kill your own people?" questioned Ryan

"Me? Sith? No Ryan a am not Sith, nor am I Jedi. I don't join there groups, I found out about something different about three years ago when I left. It is a very elite group with only the best. Neither the Sith nor the Jedi know about this group." said Anthony

"Well you have to join the Jedi again. We need you. There is a war coming and we need the best."

"I am sorry Ryan, but know I will never go back to the Jedi." replied Anthony calmly

"Then I'll just have to Kill You!!" said Ryan and he pulled out his comlink and yelled "HELP!" and with that the clone army that Ryan had started charging from there hiding places.

"Only if you can beat me and my gang will I ever join the Jedi!" With that Ryan saw five dark cloaked figures dash right by him and stood by Anthony.

"Ha only six people against My Great Army!!! This will be EASY!!" yelled Jacob.

"Then.." said Anthony "Let The Battle Begin!"

The dark cloaked figures ran in different directions Killing who ever stood in there way. Anthony ran straight for Ryan and yelled...

"Lets see how better you have gotten!!"

Ryan quickly took out his light saber and Anthony started Kicking at him. Ryan blocked every kick but wondered why his lightsaber wasn't cutting through his feet. A left kick, side kick, a low kick and then a shot at the head. Ryan blocked every one but then didn't notice that after the kick to the head Anthony's other foot was already going for his groin. Ryan quickly reacted and dodged.

"Good job of blocking. Now lets see your lightsaber skills!" yelled Anthony

Then he whipped out too lightsabers. They were both black. This was really strange. Ryan had never seen anybody with a black lightsaber. Plus the battle he had against him on the moon of Vagon VI was red. Quickly Ryan could tell that Anthony was a natural at wielding two weapons. Plus he had a deadly combination between his lightsabers and his feet. He took out ten clone troupers at once on his way to attack Ryan. Ryan also noticed that Jacob's great army was failing. The other Jedi or Sith or what ever you call them had already taken out three fourths of the army. They were losing numbers and fast. All of a sudden Anthony was right in front of him. Anthony used a force push and then a force pull and grabbed Ryan by the collar. He whispered right into his ear.

"If you want to learn more about us come to Terence V"

With that He knocked Ryan out. Ryan woke up an hour later to find the entire army dead and Anthony and his gang were gone. Jacob laid about 200 meters away and laid there with no head. He remembered what Anthony had said..

"Well..." Ryan said to himself, "I guess I'm off to Terence V"
