Hello everyone, I wasn't so sure if you guys would like the story but I was wrong. Good think I had write this as well. Both chapter where one but I broke it to see if it would be a good story and it did, so here is chapter 2. Hope you enjoy it, plus any help you can give me regarding the Clones wars it would be appreciative thank again.
"Are we there yet?" Ask Anarkin again just to annoy Obi-wan. Obi-wan had lost track of how many time he had ask the same question.
"For the last time Anarkin, we are almost there. Now could you stop asking the same question over and over" Obi-san finishing saying before he pinch the bridge of his nose. Shaak Ti shook her head, she still couldn't believe how those two manage to survive as Padawan and Master. She wasn't the only one, the rest of the Jedi master thought the same.
"Huh, argue much, they do" said Master Yoda as he hold his walking cane with both hands.
"At least, General you only have to hear them once, unlike us" said a clone as he pointed to the rest of the clones.
"Who had to travel with them for missions" said another clone.
"They argue like an old married couple" all the clones laugh at that statement but the master only look at them.
"Is an old saying, back where I serve General's" said the same clone, the Jedi where surprise they knew that saying since it was really old and not many people still use it.
Anarkin and Obi-wan just stare at the clone that said that, which made their case funny since both of them had the same stare.
Everyone stop laughing when they hear a beeping sound.
"Everyone prepare to exit Hyperspace in" a clone said.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Exiting now from Hyperspace" said the clone again as they exit it and decelerated and jump to normal space.
"Finally we are her…."Anakin started to say as he walk to the widows to look outside but the words dies on his throat. Obi-wan walk up to Anarkin from behind and was about to say why he when quite until see saw what Anarkin was looking.
"BY THE FORCE. WHAT HAPPNE HERE?" yell Obi-Wan making the rest of the Master rush over to look outside, all they saw was metal debri flouting there in the empty space but no signs on the satellite they were heading to.
A day ago when they check on the coordinates again they saw that it was the location of an old abandon satellite use as a smuggler base before the last owner die. Yeah sure is was beating down from been forgotten for so long but it was still in good enough shape to last a few hundred years before it got caught in space debri but now there was nothing left just debri everyone.
"What happen here" Ask Master Windu "What happen here? Where are Ahsoka, Barriss and the clones we send here? Did they cough on the explosion or did they get out free?" ask Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, who was the master of Barriss. At this moment she did care about what happen to the satellite but she was more worry about her and Anarkin apprentices and the clones.
They start to search for anything that could tell them what had happen. Some of the ships send salvage units to gather as much of the debri they could, and find the black box if they, that way they could learn what had happen.
The search had been going for quite a few hours when they got a SOS from a ship. The clone in charge of the data, start to locate where the signal was coming from, it was coming from a small ship that was cover in debri a few hundred (A/N yards or clicks not sure what they use to measure distance) away from them. After he ran the ship signal in the republic data base it came back as the ship from the scouting mission.
Almost instantly afterwards they send several rescue teams and ships to clear the debris from it and patch any holes it could have and bring it back aboard the main ship save. It took maybe thirty minutes before they have patch all the holes to the ship outhauls before they were heading back to the main ship.
After the ship was secure in the hangar, they gave the order to open it. When the ramp was open the saw Barriss and Rex out cold laying on the floor.
"Barriss/Rex" Luminara and Anakin both yell and ran to their sides, a little while later all of the passengers where send to the infirmary wing.
"Are they all in the infirmary wing?" ask Anarkin as he didn't see his Padawan been carry out of the ship.
"Yes, general that everyone" said a clone "Are you sure? You look everywhere?" "Yes, we look all over the ship…. That was everyone. Why you as….." his words die in his throat when he realize why Anarkin was asking.
"Where is Ahsoka?" yell Anarkin.
"Calm down Anarkin. When one of the squad's member or Luminara padawan awakes we can ask them" said Obi-wan as he place his hand on Anarkin shoulder to try and calm him down. It work as Anarkin took in a few deep breaths.
"Okay"
"Master Obi-wan and Master Anarkin, please report to the infirmary wing, some of the scouting member have started to awaken" Anarkin didn't wait for the announcement to finish before he took running to the infirmary wing with Obi-wan right behind him.
They arrive at the wing, Rex was up and walking around even do the medic told him to get back in bed, some of the other clone started to wake up again as well, the only one who was still out was Barriss.
"Rex's are you okay? What happen?" ask Anarkin as he walk into the room. They turn to look at him and Obi-wan as they walk in.
"Now that they are here. We can started the debriefing" said Master Windu.
"Okay sir, but I don't know where to star" said Rex as he rub the back of his neck. That simple gesture took everyone by surprise, since he was a private he was always precise and never unsure of himself.
Rex was one of the only few clones that had server with just about every member of the Jedi council and Knights so everyone knew him pretty good and in all this time they have never see him so unsure of himself and even dare say afraid to tell what he saw.
Rex's exhale and said the only thing that will get everyone attention the faster. "Count Dooku is dead" That simple statement had silence the whole room, everyone had surprise expression on their faces even Master Yoda had a surprise expression since he had fought against Count Dooku and knew that he was a Master as well.
"Who….. Who defeat him" ask Master Windu, he wasn't the first to recover that was Master Yoda but he was the first to ask what was in everyone mind.
Rex's was about going to speak but stop when he saw Anarkin about ask a question who didn't get a chance since Master Yoda cut in.
"Calm everyone. Thoughts gather his, let him… From beginning, he explain" (A/N sorry not sure how to talk/write backwards like Yoda does) said Master Yoda.
Rex's inhale and star to explain what had happen from the beginning. "Everything was going according to the plan. No sighs of the CIS or Pirates or smuggler, we thought it would be an easy scooting mission. But everything when south once we reach the satellite and enter."
Rex's keep explain that they got ambush by Count Dooku and his apprentice Asaji, in the first contract they had lost two squad members and how they took cover to try and stand a chance but it didn't work as most of the droids where heavy and not light so it took longer to bring one down.
"They had us surrounded, we didn't have much of a chance to get out alive. It was either die fighting or get capture and then get kill. We thought our luck was over…." Rex' stop talking and reach for his helmet, after messing with it for a few seconds a 'click" sound was hear and a opening appear on the helmet, he walk to a terminal on the a wall. He set his helmet down and pull a cable from the terminal and connect to this helmet, he type a few command on the terminal and a video screen appear and start to play.
He let it play until it got to the point of the story he was in, by this time more of the clones had awoken. He pause the video and ask for the helmet of the rest of the clone so he could do the same thing. Several other screens appear and all play the same video just from different angles until they stop all at the same point.
In the video they save Ahsoka alive and well fighting side by side with Barriss, they saw how they took down some of the droid but they were too many and took cover behind some crates. They hear how annoy Ahsoka was and her comment about letting Anarkin along with the council have it when she got back, Anakin and Obi-wan both laugh at that since they knew she was going to do it.
Afterwards it show Rex dove/tackle them out of way before some missiles hit there cover and drag then behind another cover. That when Master Shaak Ti said.
"Why are you showing this?" they saw all the clones faces go pale at that question, they knew was going to happen next. Rex's inhale and exhale again this was becoming a habit for him since they started this mission.
"Is better is you see for yourselves, than me explain it" He hit play.
They could hear how Count Dooku gave them a chance and how Ahsoka say that maybe they should surrendering, how Barriss respond and Rex actually getting involve saying that he didn't see any other way out.
That when they saw and hear in all of the screens, the satellite shake and an explosion going off sending everyone who was behind cover against the wall and Ahsoka an Barriss shake from something. It took the Jedi a few seconds to understand why the shook that way when they remember feeling a couple more disturbance in the force before they arrive.
After the screens top shaking a second explosion was hear and shook the satellite again. That when they hear the satellite VI.
"Emergency power online, evacuated immediately. Satellite out of orbit, certain impact with cosmic debri. Less the Five minutes to evacuate"
They saw everyone get back on their feet and walk out from behind there cover with the weapons ready. That when they saw the massive dents on both the floor and ceiling of the room, showing that was the center of the first explosion. While everyone was staring at the dents, on Rex's screen it show him looking around and seen the hole in the wall with parts if it bend outward and how he pointed to get everyone attention and looking all the same.
They hear someone ask "What happen?" and Ahsoka answering "We worried about that in a minute" Rex turn and follow Ahsoka as she got her lightsabers ready as the other, all of them surrounded Count Dooku and Asaji.
"You are surrounded Count Dooku and Asaji, surrender now" they hear Barriss said over the video screens, but unfortunately for them the satellite shock again making most of them felt down. It keep shaking then another explosion was hear and out of the corner of Rex's screen they save a shadow pass flying and invert on the opposite wall. On some of the other screens they saw the shadow was massive in sides and was moving too fast to actually get a good look.
After the satellite stop shaking Rex's and everyone else turn to get a look at what just when pass them, after the dust and debri settle they saw the true figure.
Shaak TI, Obi-wan, Anarkin Windu Luminara, Yoda and whoever was there that wasn't part of the scooting party couldn't believe their eyes at the sizes of the being that had been send flying across the recorder video of the clones helmets.
His armor was all black except for his boots and gauntlets, they were dark gray. The gauntlets the being was wearing were dark gray with green spike coming from the knuckles along with spike coming out at the end of the forearm protectors, his boot reach just below the knee and were dark gray.
They couldn't get a good look of his shoulder since they were cover by his black cape, it was attach by two green skull to his chest armor, the skull on the right side had a green leather strip going down and attach in to the belt the being had on, a chain mail like cloth hanging from the belt and a green sword attach to his right hip.
The being had long green hair, a pale skin complex, and eye patch over his left eye, his right was deep red, it had two horns coming out of his head but both where broken in half and a green long goat-t, the begin had several cut all over his body, they guess it was a male from his face. His blood was green.
Everyone was speechless, none of them had ever seen a monster quite like him but the Jedi could feel more, even do it was a video, that this creature was releasing a massive amount of the dark side force but also because of how Rex's and the rest of the clones reacted as well. Even do is been a while since they face him their body still remember the feeling of dread they felt, that along allow the Jedi to grasp how truly powerful this being was even if it was just a memory from the clones.
They were so absorb examining and studying this being that they almost didn't hear Count Dooku trying to negotiate/lured the being with power. But that when south fast, the being hadn't been paying attention at them at all he was more interested from where he came from as if he was waiting for something or someone else to walk out and start to fight again. When he did turn to face them, the Jedi Master could see the true definition of a Sith lord on that being and more so when he spook to them.
What the being said next put the Jedi in defense mode even do it was just a recording, they couldn't really tell if he was walking to Count Dooku or if he was talking to them as well.
"Why would I Pariah Dark, help pathetic beings like yourselves who should be bowing down to me and asking me to end their pathetic lives."
"You will do good to remember, to never challenge a Sith lord to a fi…." They hear Count Dooku star to speak but then they saw a fire ball heading his way, in some of the screens some of the clone move out of the way trying not to get caught and it turn out to be a good idea, for where Count Dooku was standing, the metal had melted. Count Dooku said something else but no one pay much attention as they couldn't believe that someone could make fire, yeah it was possible to create lighting using the force but not fire.
On some of the other screens they saw Count Dooku jump on the attack to try but it was a mistake as when he swing his lightsaber at the being who now they knew name was Pariah Dark, he caught the lightsaber in his hand with making any sound or expression. Next they saw Count Dooku lightsaber explored from just the pressure the being was applying to the lightsaber.
Pariah Dark reach over before Count Dooku could reach and grab him by the head with his massive hands and lift him up in the air. Count Dooku was struggling to free himself, he use everything he could but no luck, he even try using lighting at such a close distance hoping that it would fry the being. They saw his purple lighting jumping all over the being.
"Wahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa, you want lighting. Here is lighting" they hear Pariah said with a laugh. Before he release his own red lighting causing Count Dooku to scream in pain and agony. But what he said and did next actually put some fear in all the Jedi.
"I think is put you out of your pathetic misery" Said Pariah Dark and begging to apply pressure on Count Dooku head. The Jedi and clones could hear Count Dooku scream in agony as his head was been squeeze before they heard a loud crunch and a pop. Count Dooku body when limp, his hands left from trying to force Pariah hand open.
Pariah just toss the body against a wall, most of the screens where aim at Pariah but in one screen a clone turn to look where the body had landed, there was nothing left of Count Dooku head, the only thing they saw was the spike cord, the rest was gone. On the other screen they saw blood, brain matter, and piece of the skull dripping from Pariah hand an a evil satiated smirk on his face.
They could hear something hitting against the metal, they saw that Asaji had ran away trying to escape but that brought Pariah attention to her, he prepare to attack her when they hear something.
"PARIAH…..WE AREN'T DONE YET" they hear a voice echo all around the room, all of then turn to where they thought they hear the voice. They hear Pariah answer with hated in his voice whoever had call him.
"You finally decide to join us Ghost child"
Afterwards they saw a silver boot step out of the hole where Pariah had come out, after a second the rest of the body follow. Rex's pause the video for a moment and type of the screen, the screen show the sizes of both behemoths, Pariah Dark was twenty feet tall around half a tone then it show the measure of the Ghost child seven feet tall around three hundred pounds. After that he un-pause the video, now that he had his curiosity answer about the fighters. In the time the video was pause everyone got a good look at the Ghost boy.
He was wearing and advance armor, the main color was Dark unlike any dark any of the Jedi's or anyone had ever seen. His boot, gauntlets, shoulder armor, belt and helmet were silver on the part of his boot that protected the knees he had a green almost emerald like crystal.
His boots end right above his knees, his gauntlets when pass his elbow but when Master Yoda took a closer look he saw that his right gauntlet was a darker silver and had a unique skull's pattern scribe on it. His belt was silver with holsters on each side that hold a unique gun (A/N the guns are desert eagles modified to hunt ghost, they are all black with highlight of neon green going down the center).
On center of his chest armor he had a symbol a white D with white flame coming from behind but was left open to give the imagine that the center was a black P.
His shoulder armor look like any other armor it just protect the shoulder and part of the bicep, it look bulky but look are deceiving as every Jedi knows. As Shaak Ti look closer at the body armor she could tell that it was made from scales not sure what type since she had never seen any scales that dark before but also she notice that the body armor also protected the neck not sure how much it protected, since the helmet was blocking her view, with also caught her attention.
The helmet look unique as well it wasn't like any type of helmet she seen before, it was silver in color. There were no opening, the area where the mouth would be was cover by a battle mask that was coming from under the helmet and was also connected to the helmet, as If when he wanted to talk the battle mask would retract and let him speak, the other open area was were the eye would be but that was cover by a dark visor. The only think she could see was two dots almost emerald green looking at them. But she also notice green spikes all around the helmet and she knew what those mean, he was a King.
(A/N the armor is similar to the Ecto-Skeleton from the show but instead of Danny sitting inside of the suit he wear the suit, is an extra layer of protection over his hazmat suit or better yet, how Tony spark use the Iron man suit,. The helmet is identical to the Fright night helmet expect for no horns and is silver as for the battle mask. If you ever play Mass effect games you know you have three choice for classic helmets the full close helmet, half open helmet with only a visor and no protection over the mouth and a full open helmet with no visor and protection over the mouth. So the battle mask and visor are the same thing they are connected to helmet and come from under the helmet. As for the right gauntlet well I'm a fan of an old PC video game, there where only two game made. If anyone know send me PM, the only hint I will give is that in the game the gauntlet is crucial part of the game. )
The video un-pause, they saw the ghost child walking before he stop, they weren't exactly sure where he was looking since they couldn't see his face turn but they guess he was staring at Pariah. They stood there a few second starring at each other before they slow star to circle each other, Pariah walk to his right while the boy walk to his left. Right away the Jedi knew what the boy was doing and it only gave more erasures that they were correct when he stood in front of everyone blocking their view.
After a few second of looking at the back of the boy on another screen they saw movement, what ounces was the lightsaber of Count Dooku, it was engulf in green energy and it flew to the boy's hand. Seconds later it was cover in ice and started to form a long double side blade after it was done the ice blade was cover with green energy. While this happen everyone was surprise since they knew that green energy was the closets to fully controlling the force if not fully control over it.
On Rex's screen, he reach over and grab Ahsoka by her shoulder forcing her and by reflex Barriss to look at them. But they didn't hear what they talk about since all of the Jedi were still trying to get over the fact that there was someone out there who could control the force to such and extreme and that they never taught him or hear about him until now, who know if there are anymore. When they return their focus back to the screen they saw the clones where already inside of the ship getting it ready to leave, Rex's looking back at Barriss how was kneeling beside Ahsoka who had her head in her hands.
"Huh, Vision she receive." Said Master Yoda out lough getting everyone to look at Rex's screen. Rex's and Barriss help Ahsoka back to her feet and walk to the ship but they stop, from Rex's view they saw Ahsoka given them a sweet smile before she pull her back push forward to force push them inside of the ship.
"What is she doing" scream Anarkin.
"Make her mind, now she has" said Master Yoda as he keep looking at the screen.
"What you mean Master?" ask Obi-wan.
"Vision she receive, pay attention you weren't…. Make her mind now she has" Master Yoda finish saying just as they saw Ahsoka was waiving at them before she ran back to the ship. It didn't take no more then maybe a few seconds before the satellite explorer and everything on the screens when black not before they all hear Barriss scream
"AHSOKA".
Static follow until Rex's stop the video. No one move a muscle as they waited to let it sink in what they just watch. Count Dooku dead, two behemoth fighting it out and Ahsoka sacrificing herself to save her teammates and running back to fight. Master Yoda spook.
"Time we must take, emotion get under control. Discuss Ahsoka funeral we must" he finish saying and walk out of the room not without giving Anarkin and Obi-wan and apologetic expression. The rest of the master follow as well, Master Luminara left as well but not without doing a final check on Barriss as she walk away she lay her hand on Anarkin shoulder and gave him a light squeeze.
It took a few more hours until they found the black box but it was damage beyond repair, they couldn't get anything useful out of it. On the way back everyone had learn of what had happen to general Ahsoka, Master Windu had informer the remaining of the council and they all have agree to have the funeral the moment they return but Master Yoda request one more thing that no one dare say no as for Master Yada had back master Yoda request. Ahsoka would have a full Jedi master funeral, no one disagree since they knew she was already at Jedi knight level she just hadn't finish her training.
Master Shaak Ti inform Anarkin and Obi-wan of this and both bow and said thank you.
They arrive back at Coruscant a day later, the moment they land everyone one whether they were Jedi or clones all walk to the were Ahsoka funeral was held. All off the Jedi Master, knights and Padawan had gather as well some of the senators and a good amount of clones all who had serve along Ahsoka.
While the Jedi had their funeral, the clones did their own thing to remember Ahsoka, back in the barracks they had a several walls in a room where they would gather to talk or rest or remember their fallen brothers, they clean a wall and put a picture of Ahsoka there to remember one of the most if not their favorite general.
It had been four almost five months since the death and funeral of Ahsoka, some of the Jedi master had spent something looking in the Jedi temple archives trying to find anyone with the description of Pariah Dark or any information on the now call Ghost child but every time they when looking they could find nothing.
As for the on the war side the CIS had gone on the defend since the dead of Count Dooku, Asaji had taken control but not as good as Count Dooku but she did one good move and that was go in the defend for a while.
Currently Anarkin and Obi-wan where on a mission on Tatooine, the planet had troubles with pirates recently since the republic had gone on full attack, thanks to the change in leading ship of the CIS. Anarkin and Obi-wan where currently cashing the pirates through one of the cities.
"They are fast. You better not let them get away" said Anarkin as he ran
"They will get away if you keep talking and not focus on the task at hand" answer Obi-wan. They keep running but the pirates took some turns and the lost both of them. Both stop to try and pick up there tracks.
"Great we lost them because you were to slow master" Anarkin said with sacrament. Obi-wan smile since Ahsoka dead had hit him hard, at first he almost shut himself up but now he was back mostly to his old witty self.
"If you had follow the plan we wouldn't have lost them" Anarkin was going to answer but they heard fighting. They follow the sound. Behold when they arrive they saw the pirate all knock out and tie on the floor. Anarkin was about to say something when Obi-wan "shhhh" him and pointed to two figure standing away from the group, they look like they were going over the group belonging.
One was on their knees but the person look big but from the body form they guess he was a male, they couldn't see his body or head since they were cover with a dark cloak, the other had a slimmer figure they guess it was woman and a Togruta at that, since even do she was wearing a cloak it didn't do much to hide her hair horns.
"Cough, cough" Anarkin did to caught there attention. Both turn to look at them, the male had a battle mask that cover his face but a visor over his eyes, the female battle mask as well with a visor over her eyes.
"Not that we don't appreciate the help but leave this to the professional" said Anarkin as he an obi-wan got closer. The couple just look at them and turn back to search over the belonging of the pirates as the Jedi's weren't there.
Anarkin got a bit bluster since they just ignore what he say causing Obi-wan to smirk. Anarkin walk up to them and put a hand on the female shoulder.
"Excuse me…" he never got to finish what he was going to say since the female grab his hand threw him over her shoulder against a wall. Obi-wan move to intercept but the male beat him to it and star to fight him in hand to hand kombat not giving him a chance to get his lightsaber of force, since he keep him on the defend.
'who ever this couple are they are good, the male can keep up with a Jedi but not only that, he is keeping me in a short distance and on the defend not giving me enough time to either get my lightsaber or use the force. As for the woman' Obi-wan thought and took his eye way from the fight for a second and that cost him hard. He receive a jab to his chin, then a kick to his ribs, right elbow to his face an uppercut then a spinning back kick to his mid-section. His vison when blank for a second before it return. He look around and saw that the couple where gone, he look around and found Anarkin.
He got up holding his ribs and rubbing his chin 'that guy sure know how to fight' though Obi-wan as he walk to were Anarkin was standing. He was about to speak when he saw Anarkin was holding onto the female mask.
"You got a good look of the female face Anarkin?" ask Obi-wan but the moment he did Anarkin face when pale, that worry him he put a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay? Anarkin?" he ask, Anarkin turn to look at him, his mouth was moving but no sound came out, he was trying to say something but nothing, that's when they hear a noise and both turn to look.
Standing on top of a wall where the couple from early the male had three bag over his shoulder while the female had only one. Both turn to look at them both of their face were un-cover.
The male was wearing a battle mask that cover almost all of his face except for were his eye where that area was cover by a dark visor and at the top of his head, his hear was white. (A/N the battle mask is like Star lord from Guarding of the galaxy, just that it doesn't have two round red visor over the eye. Here is one long visor from one side of the face to the other.)
As for the female, Obi-wan froze when he saw her face. Her skin was a light orange, she had an oval face, a white tattoo of a wing on each side of her face, and two white tattoos coming down the center of her forehead and splitting right above the bridge of her nose becoming her eyebrows on each side of the white tattoos she had a white diamond shape tattoo, she had dark purple lips and light blue eyes. Her hair was made into two horns that came down around her face and back, she had white hair with bits of blue mix in.
The couple gave them a hard look before they jump over the wall. One word came to the mind of Anarkin and Obi-wan.
"AHSOKA"
How was it good or bad let me know if I should have keep get gone for longer or not? Well thanks gain and hope you like it
