Asakura Chronicles
"Whoa!" said Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka and the clones, looking at Tom who Force Pushed the entire Mystery Van, along with the rest of the Mystery Gang, off the platform and exploded.
Well, that's done with" Tom heads to the group while grabbing a small, white cylinder out his right pocket.
"Most impressive" Obi Wan said
"I-I never realized it before until now" Anakin said. "Now I know that Mr. Johnson ... is a Jedi!"
"WHAAAAATTTT?!" Obi Wan, Ahsoka and the clones (including Tom) was looking at Anakin as if he were some kind of idiot
"Anakin, I really think you failed to realize" said Obi Wan
"Mr. Johnson is actually Thomas, master" said Ahsoka
"WHAT?!" Anakin yelled. He then looked at who was tearing off his beard and took his glasses off, revealing that Mr. Johnson is actually Tom
"Then why are in disguise in the first place?" asked Anakin
"Because you were captured and needed my help" Tom replied
"I know that but why? Why go through so much trouble going into a disguise to trick them?"
"Well one: I had to think of something fast and..."
"So the first thing that came to mind was to dress like an old man?"
"I don't know. Guess I have disguises on the brain. So anyway, I had to think of something fast and they would outnumbered me. Two: the reason why I had to act fast was because they were going to cut off Ahsoka's head tails and drop cold water on her"
"My head tails?!"
"My god!"
"Seriously?!"
"Seriously. And three... I actually look good in overalls if you haven't noticed" said Tom, posing in his disguise
"Now then..." Tom grabbed Anakin by the collar and raised him up so he can stand. "Let's get you out of those"
In a flash, Tom activated his lightsaber. The blade was bright, with a white silver color and Tom positioned it to strike.
"Now hold still and relax"
"A-are you sure about using a lightsaber cut these robes?" Anakin asked
"Don't worry. I'll be as gentle as I can be" Tom replied
"Can't you just cut the rope with a knife?"
"That would take too long. Just hold still"
Slash!
Tom swung the blade down, but instead of the rope, the cargo box that was behind Anakin was sliced in half. He looked down a little, next to the box he slashed and sees a tied up Anakin, squirming around.
"I told you to hold still" said Tom, sounding a little annoyed while he grabs Anakin to get him into sitting position
"Yeah, I heard you. But come on! Don't you have anything else to cut with besides that lightsaber?" He asked frantically
"Are you saying that you don't trust my lightsaber skills?"
"I'm saying I don't trust you PERIOD!" yelled Anakin while Tom glared at him and sighed
"Look, I don't have time for this. Anakin, I don't care if you don't trust me. We can't waste any time now. You guys need to get out of those and we need to get moving" Tom replied
"This is coming from the guy who was wearing girls clothes just a couple of..."
SLASH!
Anakin was interrupted the swing of Tom's blade that slashed through the rope that him. Speechless, Anakin looks up to Tom who looks at him with a cold look
"See? Out of their in no time. And just for the record, the reason why I wear these disguises is because there are part of a strategy to finish the mission faster. I don't want to do it but I do it for the mission and for the mission only. So stop acting like a little kid and start acting like a Jedi. I didn't think I had to tell you again" Tom explained while Anakin looks at the other way
"Anakin, you said you don't trust me, which explains why your slowing us down"
"What?! I never said I was slowing anyone down"
"But not letting me cut the ropes and letting me progress is slowly not just me but everyone down"Tom said. "Which means I have to tell you a bit about myself to you"
"Y-you don't have to do that"
"But I do. I don't want to but this is for the sake of the mission. Plus, I think this is going to the best for both of us. Hmm... now let me think... hmmm... ah! Okay, I think I got. Around the time I was younger, I had no one. I was born on a small farm on Dantooine. I had my father, my older sister and around the time I was born, my mother who died of childbirth and my twin brother, who died after being born" That got everyone's attention, including Anakin
"When I was three, I was brought into the Jedi Temple to learn the ways of the Force. By that time, I was already known as a gifted user of the Force, being able to lift boulders at age four. By age five I've already constructed my lightsaber. And by age seven I was able master advanced Force techniques"
"And for these reasons, I've been rejected by other younglings, being jealous of my talents. And after years of torment, I wanted to give up. However, a certain Jedi Master told me that everyone who has lived in the Jedi Temple are one and the same. We may not be related in blood but we still live, train and fight for the same reasons, to protect each other and fight for the same belief, that the Force is a way life. In short, we are a family"
"Do you know told me that Anakin? Qui Gon" Tom then took a lightsaber hilt and handed it to Anakin
"Anakin, I know you don't accept me for who am I and neither do I for you. But whatever we do here and now determines the fate of not just the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, but also the fate of our family. I don't want to be left alone again and neither do you. So right now, I am here, asking, no, begging you to help me protect the only place we Jedi can call "home" Just like the clone soldiers can call Kamino home, we Jedi must protect our home on Coruscant. Will you fight along side me and your family, Anakin?"
"...You know, all this talking of yours... is only wasting more time on the mission. So why don't you shut up and... protect our home" Anakin replied grinning, grabbing on the unlighted lightsaber while Tom showed the smallest of smiles.
"Let's go, brother"
