Chapter five has come, and yes Ahsoka and several other characters will make their present known just not in the way that many might expect them, I am not good with capturing the characters personality, but I will try my best. This chapter wont probably be long, but wont be short either here it is. I couldn't find a good Jedi master or knight for my story seeing as some were going to either die in the third movie or killed by grievous I made some up (I don't own anything star wars or predator, like I said only the OC characters).
The Hunt Begins
Three Months Later
On the planet of Yavin IV laid a republic base that was in the middle of a battle between separatist forces, the battle went on for days. This took place during the rainy seasons, causing the battles in the field to be of trouble as their equipment would get stuck in the mud or would sink in it. One day the droid army retreated suddenly retreated, the clone thought it was a trick so they waited for their enemy to make their move. It was very quit for the last two days, not one droid showed up Jedi Knight Tyler (human) contacted the Jedi council to inform them that the droids retreated securing them the victory, the council felt that it was too easy for them to have won the battle and take the planet back from the separatist, they decided to send Taylor's old Jedi master Phoivos (human) to the planet to see for himself if they actually secured the planet. It took Jedi Master Phoivos two days to arrive to the planet, due to his battle with the separatist forces on the planet of Nelvaan. When he arrived in the system he found attempted to communicate with the republic base, but after an hour of no response master Phoivos decides to go down to the system to find out the problem. "Admiral I'm heading down to the planet prepare the men,"
"General are you sure? It could be just some communication problem. There's no need for you to go down there, let the men take care of it" said Admiral Zhao.
"True the men could handle it, but a man my age shouldn't just sit back and let all of you youngsters have all the fun" said master Phoivos as he headed towards the flight bay.
On the planets surface Jedi master Phoivos and his men headed down towards the republic base. When they stepped off the gunship master Phoivos noticed that the area was deserted, there was no one around, he couldn't sense anything either. Strange what could have happen here, I know Tyler had an army of two hundred men stationed here, so where are they?
Unbeknownst to the Jedi or his men they were being watch by an unseen enemy,while the clones investigated the area the unseen enemy was watching them. He was using some kind of heat sensing mask (hint hint), he could overhear what the clones were saying to each other and to their general. The unknown enemy had his sights then on the Jedi, it made a clicking noise before disappearing again, and seeing as its cloaking device wouldn't last long in the rain. It got away from the sights of the clones and Jedi and prepared its traps.
"General we've searched the area, there doesn't appear to be anyone here" said Lieutenant Dirge. "I see, well then let's see if their inside, tell ten of your men to stay out here to make sure there isn't trouble the rest of us will go inside and out of the rain" said master Phoivos, as the Lieutenant went over to his men and gave them the order.
When they entered the base, they noticed that the lights were flickering on and off, they also noticed that on the walls there were some kind of burns. "Lieutenant what do you make of this?" said master Phoivos.
The Lieutenant went over to the walls and did find something "sir these marks were made by blasters, our blasters sir." Many of the troops couldn't understand this, from the looks of the blast it was as thought their brothers were firing at random.
"I see you think your men were firing at random don't you Lieutenant?" said master Phoivos.
"I would assume that sir, but I know these men, we fought on the first day of the clone wars and I know they wouldn't fire at random for any reason unless" Dirge stopped at his sentence when he realized something. Phoivos then spoke up "Unless they were firing at something they couldn't see. Am I right Lieutenant?" "Yes sir I agree" said Dirge.
The clones looked at each other in surprise, an enemy their own brothers couldn't see, if it was a droid then where are the bodies, why wasn't the enemy outside waiting. Unless this whole thing was a trap one thought, the enemy could be waiting on them inside another thought, maybe it was general Grievous or the assassin Assajj Ventress another thought.
"General I know you probably know this but I think this whole thing could be a trap, maybe we should contact the fleet for some reinforcements" said Lieutenant Dirge.
"I know it's a trap Lieutenant, and let me reassure you and your men that it's not either Grievous or Ventress. In fact it could be someone we never seen before an enemy that took out an entire army and if I'm right my old apprentice" said master Phoivos. The clones seemed surprise by this; they didn't think an old Jedi like Phoivos could have figured this whole thing out faster than them.
Master Phoivos looked down the dark hall, he closed his eyes and tried to feel out to the force trying to sense who or what was waiting for him and his men. Hmm it seems you found yourself a new pawn for your game my old friend Dooku, master Phoivos began to feel something else about this enemy, he could feel the force was strong with this one, and could feel no anger, hatred, or even fear. It seems this enemy will kill my men if they get involved as well as myself included. Master Phoivos was strong, but not as before, he could have taken an enemy like Grievous or Ventress without too much trouble, but this enemy he felt was different, he could feel that this enemy was stronger both physically and mentally. "Lieutenant take your men and return to base" said Master Phoivos.
"Sir you're not coming back with us? We could stay with you sir" said the Lieutenant.
"Oh no, it seems pretty clear that whatever did this killed all the men, and if you stay here you will probably die too" said Master Phoivos.
"Sir you can't know that, and if the enemy is here, we can help, you'll need backup" said Dirge.
"Oh no it's quit alright, go and get the ship ready, oh and contact the council and tell them to bring reinforcements, someone a little younger than me might bring this foe down should I fail. Go on men head on back and don't come back down until I give the order, now then let this old timer have one last fun time alone okay" said Master Phoivos as he headed down the hall while chuckling and whistling.
The clones looked at each other for a bit, they knew they couldn't leave the lieutenant alone, but had to obey orders. So they obeyed the Generals orders and went back to the ship.
The enemy overheard everything as he was watching the whole thing, using his wrist to link into the base's computer. He saw that the drop ship with the clones was taking off, leaving the old man behind.
Master Phoivos entered the gallery of the base, and saw it was empty, he noticed that the walls had similar blast marks on them. He knew was in the right place, as he turned he saw a lightsaber on a table near him. He went over to pick it up and recognized it to be his old apprentice. "Tyler" mumbled Phoivos as a tear fell down his face; he always looked to Tyler as a son, and Tyler looked to him as a father.
Behind Phoivos was the enemy, still in his cloaking device standing on top of one of the tables. Master Phoivos sighted and said "You know, it's very rude to sneak up on someone when they are not looking." Phoivos turned around and continued "it's also very rude to attack an old man without him seeing his assailant, go on now turn off that darn cloaking or invisible device you young kids talk about."
The enemy turned off the device and revealed himself; he was wearing a mask (similar to the one in Aliens vs. Predator 2), armor on his chest, elbows, knees, and feet (like the one from the first alien vs. predator). "And take off that ridiculous mask, if your going to fight someone at least do it face to face" said Phoivos. The enemy then began to remove the tubes to its mask, and removed the mask revealing the appearance of a young man around sixteen years old; he had long black hair, green eyes and in the middle of the eyes were yellow.
"I see tell me three things one do you work for Dooku?" said master Phoivos. The boy hesitated as first, but then as he stood down from the table he responded with a no nod. "Good, now then the second question two did you give my old apprentice Tyler a fair fight and death?" said master Phoivos as he began to take off his robe and set it on the table next to him neatly. The boy nodded in a yes response as two blades came out of his wrist and brought out a lightsaber from his back pocket. "And now my third and final question young man and three what is your name?" said master Phoivos as he took out his lightsaber. There was silence for a moment, "my name is Jyun" said Jyun.
"Jyun that is an excellent name and my name is Master Phoivos of the Jedi Council let us have a good match now" said Phoivos as he readied himself. "I do hope you're not really working for Dooku Jyun, believe me with your talents you can do so much more" said Phoivos.
"Sorry but if you know what I am, you would reconsider your statement towards me, now then are you ready die master Phoivos" said Jyun as he took in a battle position.
"My dear boy when you reach my age, death is something you look forward to, and it's like my old apprentice Tyler would say 'if you go out, go out fighting'" said Master Phoivos.
"Well then your apprentice did go out fighting, let's just see if you do the same then" said Jyun. Both men looked at each other for a second; Master Phoivos closed his eyes for a second and waited for Jyun to make his move. Jyun waited as well, studying the old man, finding a weakness and then he would strike. There was silence in the mess hall, all you could hear was the rain pouring down on the building. Then in a sudden, the moment the rain stopped, both men charged at each other yelling as the screams of both men could be heard from all over the base, until nothing but total silent.
Three hours laterIt has been three hours since master Phoivos was last heard. Admiral Zhao was furious that the clones would leave their commander, just because he told them so, and now two more Jedi's were coming to investigate the situation. But couldn't really blame them, they were breed to fight and obey, so if the General gave them an order they would listen. When they returned the Admiral decided to contact the Jedi's and tell them of the situation. They informed him that they would send Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano to find out what is happening on Yavin IV.
Meanwhile on the planet
Back on the planet, at the republic base's communication tower, was a dark figure sitting on one of the chairs in the room alone, while cleaning what appears to be a human skull. Just then a hologram appeared in the middle of the room, it was Count Dooku, leader of the separatist army and sith lord.
"Jyun I have been informed by my master that another Jedi will be arriving soon on the planet, I suggest you get yourself ready for the Jedi's arrival understand?" said Count Dooku who was talking through a hologram.
Jyun didn't respond instead he continued to clean the skull, while whistling the same tune master Phoivos. This however got Dooku angry, "I said do you understand."
Jyun stopped the whistling and cleaning the skull and spoke "I understand Dooku, but just remember Dooku of our agreement; you promised me powerful Jedi's to fight, not fighting old Jedi's. If you don't bring me what I want, then you will be the one I will be after old man" said Jyun. "I remember young one, but not to worry this Jedi will prove to be of a challenge to you, see the Jedi is Anakin Skywalker Jedi Knight and the chosen one" said Dooku.
Jyun stopped in his tracks when he heard Skywalker's name. He had heard of Anakin Skywalker, that he was a famous Jedi, he was also a master strategist in combat and space battles. Heck was the 'chosen one' that count dooku talked about, the one to bring down the sith. If I can kill Skywalker, it will prove that I am the greatest warrior in the galaxy. Finally a worthy opponent one who can give me the fight I've wanted for so long. "Very well old man, let's do this, remember keep your droid army away from here and let me do my job" said Jyun. "As you wish, good luck on your hunt Jyun" said Dooku as the hologram.
Jyun went over to the computer and took out a communicator, "Sherri another Jedi is coming here, are you all set?" said Jyun, contacting his doctor Sherri who was out in the middle of the field inside Jyun's ship. "Yeah everything is ready; as soon as the ship drops them off I will begin activating the base's controls. I will have control overt the doors, lights, everything" said Sherri as she turned on her computer to get ready for the "guest" of Jyun's to arrive.
"Very well good luck, and don't do anything stupid" said Sherri.
"You know me, Jyun out" said Jyun as he headed entered the elevator as he was putting on his Mask and headed towards his Jungle for his 'guest' to arrive.
The planets surface
The Resolute had just appeared out of hyperspace and was heading for the Destroyer; in the bridge of the Resolute was Admiral Yularen who was preparing contact with the Destroyer, "this is Admiral Yularen contacting the Destroyer. Are you there Destroyer?" it took a few seconds for the call was return, "this is Admiral Zhao of the Destroyer yes we are here. Yularen well it's been a while how you been old friend?" said Admiral Zhao.
"Zhao, well it has been a while, last time I heard you were working with General Windu, now your working with General Phoivos, well done" said Admiral Yularen. "Yeah Windu was a great leader, but I prefer to work with Phoivos, he always knows how to lead his men into combat and help lift the men's spirit when the situation seems impossible. I take it you enjoy working with Skywalker as well?" said Zhao.
"Well Skywalker can be a hard man to work with, but I cannot deny his actions do speak results" said Yularen. Just then he heard a voice behind him, "really am I a hard man to work with Admiral" said the voice.
Yularen turned around and saw Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano coming into the bridge. The admiral felt a little embarrass that the General heard what he said. "Uh sor-sorry sir I didn't see you there, I was just contacting with the Admiral of the Destroyer. Admiral Zhao this is General Anakin Skywalker Jedi Knight, and his padawan Ahsoka Tano. General this is Admiral Zhao he is in charge of the Destroyer, and was working with General Phoivos before he disappeared" said Admiral Yularen.
"Admiral Zhao I heard good things about you and your men, tell me exactly what happened down there with the General?" said Skywalker.
"Well first of all it's good to meet you General Skywalker, I've heard much from you from General Phoivos and from Admiral Yularen. And speaking of the general, he and his men landed on the planet to investigate what happened down on the planet. They found the republic base to be empty; there was no one in the area. It was as they just disappeared" said Zhao.
Skywalker looked concern; he knew that place was strong enough to handle an attack, not only that he knew the Jedi leading the base. Taylor what could have happen down there? Ahsoka also knew Taylor before he left to the war. She met Taylor after the death of her first friend in the temple Alex Henry. When Alex died, Taylor helped her cope with what happened, and helped her with her training before he became master Phoivos's padawan.
According to captain Dirge, general Phoivos, when they entered the base they found blaster marks on the wall, he says that it was as though the men were shooting at something they couldn't see" said Zhao.
"An enemy they couldn't see, are you sure? It could have been droids using some sort of cloaking device" said Skywalker.
"Sir that's what the other men thought, but the general told them if it was then why wasn't the droid army there in the area? And where was the bodies?" said Zhao.
"Master could it have been Ventress or Grievous?" said Ahsoka.
"I doubt it, they would have sent their droids first then attack, and then they would come and take all the glory for themselves" said Skywalker.
"Yes the general thought that too, he then ordered the men to return to the ship. He said he wanted to confront whatever it was that attack the base and he felt that if his men got involved they would have been killed. The men had no choice but to obey the general and headed back towards the ship, that was the last time we heard of the general" said Zhao.
"I see, thank you Admiral, we will head down towards the planet as soon as we can" said Skywalker.
"Thank you sir, if it's okay with you the men would like to accompany you and you they want to do whatever they can to help" said Zhao.
"Very well then, we'll see your men down there then Skywalker out" said Skywalker as the transmission was cut off. "Rex get the men ready we'll be heading down there soon" said Skywalker turning his attention to Captain Rex.
"Very well then sir, all right men you heard the general let's move out" said Rex as his men headed off towards the flight bay.
"Master what do you think happened down there?" said Ahsoka.
"Well snips we'll soon find out wont we?" said Anakin as he and his padawan headed towards the flight bay.
Back on the planet
Jyun was getting his equipment ready for Skywalker's arrival; he entered a dark room which contains some of his hunting equipments. He knew that Skywalker would use a lightsaber and the force as his weapons. He would only use his other equipments on the clones if Skywalker brings them. He took out his plasma caster, one smart disc shuriken, netgun, a spear, wrist blade, and his own lightsaber. When he finished making his ship he headed off towards the planet Ilum to create his own lightsaber.
When he finished with his weapons, he was being contacted by Sherri. "What is it Sherri?" said Jyun. "Jyun I was listening in on the conversations the Jedi and the Admiral were saying and if I'm right they are sending almost sixty clones to the area including a tank" said Sherri. Jyun could handle a bunch of clones, but with the Jedi's as well he didn't want to waste his time fighting them.
"Sherri contact the separatist base near hear and tell them to send their troops to the area" said Jyun.
"Are you sure Jyun? I thought you didn't want them to get involved" said Sherri.
"Not in my fight against the Jedi, but with the clones getting involved I don't want any distractions. Tell them to send their troops to distract the clones, and keep them away from entering the base" said Jyun.
"All right then I will contact the droid army and send them right away, while we're on that I also noticed that Skywalker might bring his padawan to the fight what are you going to do with her" said Sherri.
Great just what I need, a padawan getting involved, and a girl damn it. "Sherri do we still have that Magna Guard that I found and upgraded it for my trainings?" said Jyun. "I think so why?" said Sherri. "Bring it out here as well, I'll order it to attack the padawan and keep her away from my fight with Skywalker" said Jyun. "Very well then, I will send it to you as soon as I can. Good luck Jyun" said Sherri. "Yeah I know Sherri" said Jyun as he turned off the communicator and headed towards the tower to observe his arrival.
Chapter five is over, I barley finished it; I was stuck on some parts. But I finally finished it. The next chapter will probably take a while since Friday I am going to a wedding, so I will try to get the next chapter up before I leave. Well send me some reviews and I will see you all later bye.
