Chapter eleven is here and we are closing in on the end of the sequel. I am sooooooooooo sorry for taking so long to update I had been busy with studying for my finals in college and I had been busy getting all my work done for this semester. Which I hope I get a good grade for all the work I did.
Thank you for being patient and for all the readers for the reviews you had left for this story and for the hits I have received from the story. I am glad there are many people who like this sequel and I promise I will try to update as soon as I can.
Now this chapter will take place a week after the last episode of season three. Now again the reason I didn't do a chapter on those two episodes is because I couldn't come up with some good ways for it to work. Plus my friend thought that we have done plenty of chapters involving episodes so I am trying to do some chapters without involving the episodes.
But I promise the way this story will end will be just as good as the first one. Now time for the whole disclaimer thing I don't own anything of star wars or the clone wars series just my oc characters. Now then on with chapter eleven enjoy.
Trip to Hoth
Jedi Temple (Michael's pov)
I was in the training room practicing against a practice droid. I was practicing fighting the droid using hand to hand combat instead of using my lightsaber. So far I had the droid only use defensive and counter moves so I could be ready to face an enemy in case I didn't have my lightsaber. Not that I needed to of course since Zach and I practice this way with Master Ziva on Kiros. But lately I have been feeling as if I have been relying on my lightsaber more than my other skills which was something I couldn't allow to happen.
When I came back to the temple after protecting Master Kenobi's daughter Jay from deathwatch and keeping Master Kenobi's secret safe. I decided to spend some time with Ahsoka who told me about what happened on Felucia and how she was kidnapped by the Trandoshans. I was a bit mad that she was taken. But I was relief that she made back safe and sound. Not only that surviving days on that planet while being hunted shows her skills have gone better than before. Plus brining back some survivors and making friends with a wookie who I hoped to meet again one day.
Anyways after she told me what happened and how she was able to defeat the leader of the Trandoshans without her lightsaber. I realized that most of my fights I have relied on my lightsaber more than my other fighting skills. So after I healed I got back to training and began to push myself a little more than usual. So far my training right now has been going well, the droid was able to block most of my moves but I was able to hit a couple to the head and chest. Finally I saw my opening, I kicked and as it blocked it I lifted my other leg and kicked the droid. Once it backed up I rushed in and began to punch it in the gut then a swift upper cut to the head taking it out allowing me to win the fight.
I looked down and was satisfied with my win. I went to get my towel when I heard someone clapping behind me. I looked over and saw Anakin walking in and seemed impressive with my win. "Nice job Michael impressive work" said Anakin.
"Thanks Skywalker where have you been? I haven't seen your or Ahsoka around since yesterday" I said remembering that Anakin and Ahsoka were missing from the temple.
"Ahsoka and I went to check an informant who may have known something about a separatist weapon they are building in the Hoth system" said Anakin as he told me where Ahsoka and him have been.
"Zach's there right? Have you heard from him I haven't heard anything from him since I got back to the temple?" I asked concern for Zach since I haven't heard from him for a week now.
"From what I heard Barriss and him are pushing the enemy back and have been busy trying to gain reinforcements which are why I am here" said Anakin. "The council has decided to send you and Ahsoka to assist them."
"Aren't you or Master Kenobi coming on this mission?" I asked.
"Actually Obi wan and I are a going to be send to assist our forces with an attack on Bespin. Once we're done of course we will come and assist you" said Anakin.
"I see well when do we leave then?" I asked wondering when we would leave.
"Tomorrow so I suggest you wear something warm because where you're going is going to be colder than Rhen Var and I wouldn't try anything with Ahsoka when you go to bed" said Anakin
"Anakin for the last time we haven't done or thought of doing anything like that. Okay granted Ahsoka and I have thought about it a little but we know that we're not ready to try it especially with the war going on" I said angrily at Anakin knowing what he meant. Since he found out about Ahsoka and me he has warned us not to go beyond our love because there is a risk something could happen, aka knocking someone up with a baby.
"I'm just being precautions I can tell Zach is trying with Barriss and I don't want you two to try it since you're too young" said Anakin as he told me why he keeps bringing it up.
"Well unlike Zach I can control my urges and I know Ahsoka can too. So don't worry about it" I said. "Besides you too should be careful as well with Padme and don't tell me you and her haven't done it yet. I have known you long enough to know your lying."
"Hey first of all Padme and I are very careful and second how did you know about that?" asked Anakin.
"I overheard you two doing it when Zach hid my lightsaber in Padme's place. I really hope you two were using protection" I said smirking at Anakin who seemed embarrassed.
"Why you little-" "Don't worry Anakin I didn't say a word to anyone about this just promise me you two will be careful. If you do get her pregnant then the council might find out about you two and then you will be in trouble" I said interrupting Anakin who sighed and understood what I was saying.
"Fine just remember what I said and good luck on your mission. And also keep an eye on snips I don't want her to get kidnapped like list time" said Anakin not wanting a repeat of what happened before.
"You have my word master I won't let anything happen to her" I said also not wanting Ahsoka to get captured like last time. Anakin nodded and headed out the room leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Huh I better get packing then. I thought as I headed to my room to get my things ready. When I got to my room I saw Ahsoka waiting outside my door. "Ahsoka what are you doing here?" I asked curious on what Ahsoka was doing outside my door.
"I wanted to tell you that we we're going on a mission tomorrow. Master Skywalker told me we were going to the planet Hoth to assist Zach and Barriss" said Ahsoka as she explained what she was doing outside my room.
"I know Anakin told me and I cannot wait to leave. It's been a while since I've been in a fight" I said sounding anxious I was getting a chance to go into the fight again.
"I would think your time on Mandalore fighting Deathwatch would be enough" said Ahsoka who smiled seeing Michael get all pumped up.
"It helped with the boredom, but seeing you again made me happy, and going in the field again is what I have been looking forward for a while now" I said.
"Just don't push yourself too much Michael, take it slow especially where we're going. But while we're waiting maybe we could you know" said Ahsoka as she leaned forward and kissed me. I returned the kiss as she had her hands placed on both sides of my face while I had one arm around her waist and the other around her neck.
Hoth (Ahsoka's pov)
We were on the Juggernaut heading towards to the planet of Hoth. The ship we were on belonged to Zach who send the ship back for repairs when it got damaged during the fight. We arrived just as it was leaving and hopped onboard the ship and were talking to the admiral of the ship, Admiral Kyle Williams. The admiral appeared to be in his 40's, he had a short white beard, no hair on top but had hair behind his head, he was 6ft2inches, he had blue eyes, and was a bit on the chubby side but had a serious look on his face.
We were talking to the admiral on the bridge discussing about the situation Zach, and Barriss had encountered and from the looks of things it didn't sound good at all. They said Zach found somekind of separatist base on the planet and called in for backup. By the time Barriss got to the planet the separatist were attacking Zach's forces. Zach and Barriss were able to keep the enemy back. But soon the separatist got back-up and are slowly pushing them back. It turns out they were building somekind of weapon and didn't want the jedi and the republic from finding out. Which is where we come in we told the admiral we were sent to assist Zach and Barriss, and to find this weapon before the enemy could use it.
Michael soon spoke and told the Admiral our plan. The admiral along with our forces would break through the enemy blockade and keep them occupied while we took some transport ships to go down and assist Zach and Barriss. Once we helped them we would take out the remaining forces and look for this weapon. We knew the separatist didn't have much forces near the Hoth system and would take them a while before more would come which would be enough time for us to fight back.
"I don't know about this Commander Michael. I think we should try to get our men out of the planet and wait for General Kenobi and Skywalker to come assist us before we try something this crazy" said Admiral William who didn't seem to like our plan.
"First of all they said they would take days for them to finish and that's a time we don't have for waiting Admiral. Whatever the enemy is planning they must be close on finishing if they have all these droids keeping us busy" said Michael as he told the admiral why we couldn't wait. "Trust me Admiral this way we can put the separatist forces down, save our comrades, and stop whatever the enemy is building."
"I agree with Michael we should take this advantage while we can. We have the enemy outnumbered and our ships can take down theirs while we head down to help the others" I said as I agreed with Michael.
"Hmmm well your right then, we do have them outgunned and man so yes I think we should do this then…Lieutenant what is the damage we might suffer if we go through with this plan?" asked Admiral Williams as he turned to one of the clones.
"Well sir we might suffer some minimum damage from our ships, we might lose some of our men, and lose half of our flight squadrons…but other than that the probability of us winning is 95 percent sir" said the clone.
"Hmmm I like those odds, very well then we should get our men ready then…oh by the way what was the second thing you were going to say?" asked Admiral Williams as he turned back to Michael.
"Ah yes about the plan it can't be as crazy as the ones Anakin or Zach make up right?" said Michael as I smiled by what he said and agreed. Most of Anakin and Zach's plan are a little more risky and dangerous than the one Michael came up with.
"Yes sir all right men let's get everything ready" said Admiral Williams.
As the men were getting ready I looked over and saw Michael wasn't by my side. I asked one of the men where he went and he told me Michael went to the hanger bay. I headed towards the hanger bay where I found Michael was working on his ship…again.
"Michael what are you doing now?" I asked wondering what kind of upgrade Michael was making to his ship.
"Just checking if everything is up and running. Ever since what happened at Ryloth I have been trying to get my fighter ready in case I get trap in a tractor beam again" said Michael as he looked over his ship from the pilot seat.
"I wouldn't worry about it, I doubt Grievous would want to fight you again after last time" I said sounding not too worried for Michael. Since losing to him months ago Grievous has been under the radar and hasn't been in the fighting for some time now. I wasn't complaining I was glad he hasn't showed up. This gives us a chance to push the separatist back while the general is out.
"Still I wish he did I wouldn't mind fighting him again" said Michael as he finished checking his controls.
"Why would you want to fight him Michael? Last time you almost got killed" I said surprised that Michael wants to fight Grievous.
"I know that but still it was a bit fun fighting an opponent as strong as him" said Michael who seemed excited about wanting to fight Grievous. "Plus I learned so much the last time we fought and I want to test my skills against someone like him again."
I sighed and smiled at Michael. Sometimes I worried when Michael wants to fight someone especially if that someone is stronger than him. Nearly all his fights end up almost killing him. But then again that's just who Michael is and that's one of the things I love about him. Always spoiling for a fight and always ready to go.
"Just promise me you'll go easy on this mission Michael, the last thing I want is for you to come back injured like the last time we went on a mission together" I reminded Michael of the Citadel mission where he took a shot for me.
"I promise as long as you promise me you won't let your guard down and get kidnapped again" said Michael as he reminded me on how I got kidnapped by the Trandoshans.
"Fine I promise just stop bringing it up now please" I said as Michael just smiled, leaned forward and kissed me quickly.
"Okay for you I will stop for now" said Michael as he finished checking his ship. "Now then we should get our things ready for when we land on Hoth. Which means Ahsoka you're going to need to get your jacket otherwise you're going to almost freeze like last time."
"Shut up you know it was Zach's fault for lying to me about us going to a hot planet" I said still mad that Zach tricked me saying we were going to Tatooine but instead we went to Illum. When we got there Zach threw me into the snow where I got sick. But in some ways I should be thanking him since it got me out of doing work and Michael stayed by my side helping me get well.
"All right calm down just go get your jacket otherwise you're going to be out again if you catch a cold" said Michael as he walked over towards me and kissed me on the cheek. "Now if you excuse me I need to go over some things with the troops I'll see you in a bit" said Michael before walking off towards the clones to talk to them over the mission.
I smiled and headed off to my room to get my things for the mission. On my way I began to think about what this weapon could be that the separatist are trying to keep us from finding out. Whatever it was it seems the separatist are willing to do anything to keep us from finding out. Whatever it is I just hope we stop it before its ready otherwise this will become a much bigger problem than we thought it would be.
Hoth
Meanwhile several separatist ships were surrounding the planet of Hoth as they were getting ready for the arrival of the republic forces. One of these ships had the leader of the droid army General Grievous who was watching as his forces were getting ready for the republic forces.
Just then one of the droids came up to him telling him Count Dooku wanted to speak with him. Soon a holographic form of Dooku appeared and Grievous greeted the sith lord. "Greetings Count what do I owe the pleasure of your appearance?"
"General I have been informed by my master that several republic ships are heading to Hoth. I need you to keep them from assisting the republic forces on the ground. If they break through there is a good chance they will find out about the weapon we are building and ruin our plans to use it" said Count Dooku.
"I realize that my lord but not to worry the jedi will never break through my blockade and even if they do I will make sure they don't find out about the weapon we are building" said General Grievous.
"Speaking of the weapon how long till it is ready?" asked Dooku.
"I have been told it is almost complete and soon we will be able to use it to wipe out the republic forces like it had done before in the past" said Grievous.
"Except it will no longer have the weakness it once had and that is what will help us defeat the republic once and for all" said Dooku. "Just remember General keep the jedi from finding out."
"I assure you they won't find out about it my master" said Grievous as he bowed his head to Dooku. "And if they do they will not live long enough to tell anyone about it. Not when they will be dealt with by me."
"Spare no one General, if anyone on the republic side finds out kill them all" said Dooku as Grievous nodded before Dooku cut off transmission and soon Grievous turned to one of the droids.
"Take over and make sure no one gets through I am going down to make sure the weapon is ready on time" said Grievous as the droid understood and Grievous soon walked towards the door and left.
Chapter eleven is done and I am glad I was able to finish this chapter. The next two will be up soon but not that soon. I still need to work on them so I hope everyone will be patient enough to wait till I finish writing them. Please leave some reviews and tell me what you thought of the chapter. Thank you and goodbye for now.
