Christophsis, not the best place to join in the war. Especially without a functioning lightsaber. (Will Explain at end) The weapon idea isn't a problem, I could just ask a clone trooper once I prove myself to be an ally. Walking over to the Command Post, I get stopped by two ranked troopers, or, to be precise, Rex and Cody.
"Sorry, you cannot see the generals right now." Cody says to me.
"Even if I can use the force?" I ask.
"And I'm Jabba the Hutt." Cody remarks.
"Uh, Cody, I think he is serious." Rex warns. To which I send a mental question of whether I can levitate Cody. Rex gives me a subtle nod, so I levitate Cody.
"Whoa," Cody becomes concerned that I am levitating him. "Uhhh, yeah, you can go see the generals." He says uneasily. I gently place him back on the ground and head off to them.
"You need to learn when people are serious Cody, or it will be the death of you." Rex says.
"Generals." I greet them, to their confusion.
"Who are you?" Anakin asks rashly.
"Ask Cody, whom I just levitated." I state simply, to which the two force users look at each other with curiosity.
"You realise that wasn't the best thing to do, considering he has to report to the Jedi council." Obi-Wan says, amused.
"I did say I was force sensitive, but he just said he was Jabba, and considering the mental question I sent Rex, and he said I could. So I did have permission." I say. Anakin tries not to laugh, while Obi-Wan just rolls his eyes. "I should probably say too, I won't join the Jedi themselves, but I will participate in the war." This shocks both of them.
"You realise that would be unlikely." Anakin says solemnly.
"I know how to deal with people like Windu, and Yoda would understand my reasoning after I have a private meeting with him." I say, "I'll also give Windu a piece of my mind in your honour Anakin." I say with a smirk. But our conversation is interrupted by troopers shouting about enemy forces attacking.
"Ugh, I told you the victory was too easy, we never should have sent the ship back for supplies!" Obi-Wan begins the short argument.
"Well, it wasn't my idea to send the ship back!" Anakin retorts.
"Troopers! Get into positions!" I yell at the troops, who are too excited for the battle to realise that I was the one who ordered it. Anakin and Obi-Wan look at me with confusion. "Fighting will cause defeat, now until I fix my lightsaber, you lot need to hold them off!" I shout at them, flaring my aura, which makes them get into action.
"Rex, you and your men follow me!" Anakin calls to his second in command.
"Cody, battle stations!" Obi-Wan calls to his. I just think to myself how this is going to be the death of me. I walk over to R2 and motion for him to follow me. Along the way, he asks me what I am. I answer him truthfully.
"I am someone who is not of this realm. But that is all I can say at the moment. Do you have anything that could help me repair this?" I ask him, holding out Ezra's broken lightsaber parts. Thankfully, the droid had enough pieces to get the blaster attachment working, but I would have to fix the plasma emitters when I get to the temple. With what I had, I go to join the clones. However, by the time I got there, the droids were retreating. I walk over to Rex, and whisper close to him.
"This isn't the end; keep the men ready for more waves." Rex nods in reply as I then hear the sound of a shuttle passing overhead. 'Ahsoka' I think to myself. Once everyone meets the new padawan, and the transmission to the council is made, we head off to plan our next strategy. Not long after, Rex and Ahsoka return with news of a shield generator giving cover to the droids.
"You were right Vex, there were more coming." Rex says to me.
"This is exactly what was nagging at me, I had seen a shield generator on my way to you, but I expected them to have used it already." I say half truthfully, so that the Jedi wouldn't know how I really knew. "Obi-Wan, the clones and I will defend the cannons." I say, pulling out my lightsaber-blaster. Anakin looks at the weapon curiously. "No, the lightsaber isn't working, I can only use the blaster attachment, but it should be all I need for now." I say to the curious man. "Rex, would you mind having you and your troops under my command for a temporary period of time?" I ask the veteran.
"It would be an interesting experience, but I would be honoured." Rex salutes me.
"Good, we need to set up a defensive perimeter just by the buildings, but ill leave the formation up to you Captain, I trust your judgement." I say to Rex, and he gets to work. "Anakin, you and your padawan will need to find a way to disable that shield, because we can't hold out for long without our cannons." I say, and so those two were off. Before out of reach, I sent Ahsoka a mental question of where I can meet her in private once we return to the temple. She replied with the location of the meditation gardens. Obi-Wan, you get your men into position behind Rex, give us cover fire, but try to avoid any friendly fire casualties, we cannot afford it." I say to Kenobi. Now, we wait for the droids.
A/N – I will finish the cliff-hanger of this chapter once the story basis is complete, I do apologise for the fact that any chapter I release today will be rushed, and therefore not my best work, but I want to get as much done as possible while I can. Nut Out.
