Asakura Chronicles
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing"
"Ahsoka! Don't you trust me?"
"W-what was that? Why did I remember that? And whose voice did I heard just now? Was that Tom's voice?" Ahsoka thought and asked herself several times as she looks at Tom with widened eyes.
"Who are you?" She asks under her breath
"Alright then..." Ahsoka woke up from her day dreaming to hear Anakin talking to Tom.
"...suppose we do let you fight. You just said in a normal circumstances a Jedi can't take on these guys one on one and that you only need two Jedi to beat them. And now you want to capture both of them? Yeah, this'll turn out greeeat" Anakin said in a sarcastic tone.
"And suppose you guys did talk me out of fighting and instead you two fight them and some miraculous way, you manage to beat them without killing them in the pathetic condition your already in. Wow, that'll turn out even better" Tom replied, making Anakin eat. his. words!
"Relax. Unlike you two, I actually have a plan to keep them contain here long enough until reinforcements come here and capture them. And don't worry, they won't come anywhere near the both of you... because I won't allow it"
Anakin and Ahsoka stared at him and slowly take in Tom's words as if time stopped at an instant. This was a different boy that they met earlier today, when he badmouthed Anakin in the Jedi war room, Dex's kitchen and in the park a couple minutes ago. Who interrogated Anakin about his actions in the past and whether if he should continue to be a Jedi. That's not the case this time. This is someone completely different in front of them. This is someone who will protect his comrades, no matter what.
"RAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!" Both Anakin 2 and Ahsoka 2 roars as they raised their light sabers and charged towards Tom, readying for the kill. As for Tom... he just stands where he is... motionless.
"Kid! Uhh... there coming! Where's that plan of yours?!" Anakin said as the two imposter's get closer and closer. While Tom... does nothing.
"RAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!"
"Haha! Okay! There getting closer now! You seriously start that plan!"
And yet... Tom does... yawn and then he goes back to doing nothing.
"TOM! SERIOUSLY! DO SOMETHING!" Anakin yells and both he and Ahsoka closes their eyes to flinch
"Shut up... and watch"
...
...
...
After the few seconds that felt like hours, Anakin and Ahsoka opened their eyes to see both Anakin 2 and Ahsoka 2 standing still and about five steps away from the three Jedi, struggling to move as if time around them has stopped. They stared at Tom, who still hasn't moved an inch and still standing, with anger and confusion in their eyes. Anakin and Ahsoka look at the scene with mouths wide open and eyes staggering as they fall back down on the ground. As for Tom, he silently stands still and smiling, taunting the two imposter's.
"Wha... What just happened?" Anakin asked, still shaking with shock and confusion
"I guess nobody told you one of my specialties, though I usually hate bragging about them. You guys already know about the basic Jedi skills of using Force techniques such as Force Push and Force Pull, right?" Tom asked
"Yeah. All Jedi need to know those techniques or else their not really Jedi at all" Ahsoka replied
"Well yeah, but do you really think those two are the only techniques a Jedi would know? The truth is... there are over a hundred Force techniques that have been found and there are about a thousand more to be discovered. And one of those discovered techniques happens to be one of my specialties. A technique that's been specially created to contain or distract the enemy by using the Force to increase the pressure of gravity around a certain small area, like it's a small containment field. A technique that we like to call Force Gravity. With this, I can either paralyze a certain number of people in a small gravity field or increase the pressure in the containment field, completely crushing whoever is in it. My limit is about five people and since these guys aren't the usual bunch I usually catch, I'm not sure I can contain them for long. But for now..." Tom explained, showing a stream of sweat coming down on his face.
He then reached into one of his coat pockets and pulled out two droid poppers, then tossed them towards the two imposter's. Two bright lights appeared from the two spheres and sent a shock wave that made it look like they were electrocuting the two fakes but then, they were covered by a blue aura, making the eyes, clothes, hair and flesh vanish, revealing that Anakin 2 and Ahsoka 2 actually two Manga droids, holding light sabers
"I knew it" Tom muttered, while Anakin and Ahsoka continue to remain speechless.
"I thought it was strange when I saw the video showed Master Tinn killing that prime minister from Zygerria. Because out of all the three videos, that one was different from the other two. In those two, it showed Jedi killing there victims using light sabers but the first one showed a imposter killing a someone using his own bare hands. If the killer really wanted to look like a Jedi killed someone, then he should really used a light saber but that one time, the killer became completely careless. And also, it's hard to believe that there's this many people that can use a light saber, go toe to toe with a Jedi and easily over power, not to mention someone that looks exactly like the Jedi their trying to kill or frame that person. Now, all we have to do is wait and..."
Tom stopped himself when he see's the droid that impersonated Anakin struggling to move about a few inches, slowly moving towards Tom and raised it's light saber towards him. While the droid slowly catches up to it's prey, Tom stands there, motionless and stares at the droid with his piercing blue eyes as if he pitied it. As for the droid, it stared back at him with glowing, angry red eyes as it begins to swing down it's blade towards him.
CRACK!
The hilt of the droid's blade begins to crack and immediately shatters into small metal fragments, making the laser sword vanish. As the blade disappears into small light fragments, Tom gave the droid a smirk.
"I got to say, that's pretty impressive that you could still move after being trapped by Force Gravity. Though, the next time you come with light sabers, make sure their made properly because the alloy and structure on the hilt, and this is my personal opinion, was pretty crappy" Tom remarked
After that, a long switch blade came out of the droid's arm, then gave a battle cry and charged straight towards Tom again, aiming for his heart
CLANG!
The tip of the droid's blade broke off, leaving the droid, it's companion, Anakin and Ahsoka once again speechless when Tom broke the blade with his left arm, leaving a small hole on his coat. After that, the droid jumped back one feet away from Tom. "What's wrong? You seem a bit distracted, which is quite unusual for droid. Though, when you gave that cry earlier, I thought you would at least give me cut or over power me. But it seems all that strength and stamina that Jedi Master's like Mace Windu said was completely exaggerated. Sigh, what a disappointment" Tom said, looking at the droid with pitiful eyes
"So... I guess your wondering why you didn't cut my arm off or at least injure it. If your really curious I'll show if you want. Though I tend to hide it because it's not for faint of heart and I don't like to look at it"
Tom took his coat zipper and unzipped the coat, showing him wearing his sleeveless black jumpsuit. He put his right hand on top his left shoulder and then tugged at the skin. It turns out that the skin on his left arm was a type of plastic cover, as it peels off the arm. When the plastic was fully removed, it showed Tom's entire left arm is actually robotic, shining in the glistening silver.
"Are you proud of yourself?" Tom asked, with his voice sounding more rough and irritated. He then changed the expression on his face from calm to angered
"I just got this coat and you ruined it. Not to mention you scratched the metal on my arm. And what's worse, I've shown you my left arm. It's a good thing there's two of you because now for you... I can't hold back"
Just then, the red eyes on the droid vanished and slowly falls down on the ground, making a clank noise and the same thing happened to the other droid.
"My, my! That took longer than I expected" said a mysterious voice.
Then, a small male Aleena, with blue eyes, blue skin and wore a sleeveless brown Jedi robe appeared behind one of the droid. He jumped off the back of the droid and started walking towards Tom with the help of four mechanical arms that appeared out of a small back pack the alien was wearing. "Forgive me for taking to long. It took longer than I expected when observing the diagrams. Your not damaged, are you?" said the Aleena
"Not at all. In fact, your timing couldn't be more perfect, if I don't say so myself Master Paratus" said Tom, smiling warmly to the small Jedi.
"I see. Are you saying that because if I stopped a little later, then you would finish the battle with that arm of yours? I thought you never liked using that arm I designed since always hated taking a life" Paratus stated.
"Don't get me wrong Master. The arm has been a great help over the years and if it weren't for you and this arm, my days as a Jedi would've over. But still... looking at this arm... it reminds me..." Tom's eyes changed and gave a sad, sorrowful look on his face
"Of what happened twelve years ago?" Paratus asked
"Yes"
"So... they've already told you, haven't they?"
"Yes"
"Listen to me... what happened that day... it wasn't your..."
"Uhh... Master Paratus?"
Tom and Paratus turned their attention towards to a wounded Anakin and Ahsoka, who are still dumbfounded after seeing the recent events.
"When did you get here?" Anakin asked.
"Ah, Skywalker and Padawan Tano! Yes, I came here with Asakura. I was hiding in one of his coat pockets when we left the temple" Paratus explained, making Anakin's and Ahsoka's eyes bulged
"You were... hiding? In his coat pocket? That's almost hard to believe" Anakin replied, trying to picture the Aleena trying to fit into Tom's coat pocket. "That must've been a tight squeeze for him"
"Well anyway, I came here to help Asakura test his hypothesis if the imposter's were in fact droids and turns out when he showed me the videos, I've noticed something unusual. It seems that the droids were actually using holographic technology to disguise themselves as Jedi. But I also discovered something else when I was analyzing the droids during the fighting. It appears that the droid's were being controlled by a special signal, which could only mean one thing... Thomas, we need to discuss this with of the Jedi and quickly. I fear that this imposter situation has become more dreadful then we could ever imagine possible"
