Asakura Chronicles
"I have been waiting master" said an assassin droid to Tom, standing in front of the warehouse.
"Uh... what is this?" Anakin said to Tom while Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, Cody and the other clones were behind him
"Isn't that one of the holo assassin droids? And why did it call you master?" Ahsoka asked
"Yeah it is. It was one of the droids that was guarding the warehouse. This one was disguised as lieutenant Tan Divo. Right now I'm able control it with a device Master Paratus gave me before I left" said Tom
"So we'll be able to learn about the droid factory and what we're up against?" Obi Wan asked
"Yes. I left D.1666's memory bank untouched so it could guide us when we enter enemy territory"
"It would be a pleasure serving you Master Asakura. I will answer any question you ask me" said D.1666
"Not bad. And Master Asakura huh? I might get use to that. Hm, I might even keep him"
"Wow. When did you do all that?" Anakin asked
"I did it when you guys were having a play date with the Mystery Gang" Tom replied
"You call that a play date?" Anakin yelled
"Uh... guys?" said Ahsoka, interrupting the argument. "We have a problem" Ahsoka points at the clones
"Is there a problem gentlemen?" Anakin asked
"Well...sir, the problem is... we can't find our blasters" Rex said
"What? How could you lose them?" Anakin asked
"The Mystery Gang probably has them" Obi Wan said
"Well let's get them!"
"We can't. Comm. Asakura pushed them off the platform when they were in their van, along with the blasters inside the van. And the chances of recovering them are quite small because the commander blew them up with a belt of grenades he gave them" Rex said while everyone turned to Tom, including D.1666.
"Well, nothing we can do about it. Let's go" Tom said
"Wait! What about the troopers?" Ahsoka asked
"Leave them! They'll only slow us down"
"Useless baggage" said D.1666
"What was that you giant scrap heap?! Their not useless! No one from the 501st Legion is never useless baggage! The same goes to Obi Wan's men!" Anakin yelled at the droid
"Anakin! They won't be of any help the way they are now. What chance of them surviving this mission without a weapon do you think they have? Besides, this is an infiltration mission, acquiring stealth and fewer numbers" Tom said
"Yeah, but..."
"As far as I remember, the number clones that survived the holo assassin droid assaults are very slim. Anakin, if you truly care about these men, then the best thing for them now is to leave them behind"
"It's alright General. We'll stay here. Without out our blasters, we can't be of much help. Go on ahead" said Rex
"Alright. Obi Wan, Ahsoka, you ready?"
"Yes"
"All set master"
Anakin then turned to Tom and they both nod and turned to D.1666
"Very well. I shall lead you to our next destination. To where I was born"
"Uh... this is where you were born?" Anakin said, looking at the emptiness of the warehouse where the supposed droid factory is supposed to be.
"Not really. Think of this place as a front door" said D.1666
"A front door? Then whose house are we breaking in?" Oni Wan asked
"The home to many droids, including my creator"
D.1666 walked to the front wall and placed its hand on it. The part of the wall that D.1666 touched started to glow blue and opened in a rectangular fashion. It showed a holographic keypad with numbers and started rapidly pressing them. When the droid stopped, almost half of the floor started shake and opened. Suddenly, something was slowly appearing, making a vvvvvvvv sound. A large silver, round object appeared in front of D.1666.
"This is the door"
"A door? A door to what? And what is it?" Anakin asked
"A teleportation pad. Created by the same one who created me" replied D.1666 "This is how we enter Corusant without being detected. It allows us to teleport to a pad to another active one"
"When was this built?" Obi Wan asked
"It was built a long time ago. Even before the Clone War" said D.1666
"Teleported from a pad to another active one... hold on. D.1666, is it possible that these are spread across other planets like Zigeriya and Geonosis?" Tom asked
"Yes there are. Most of them are scattered on planets that are or were controlled by the Separatist Alliance"
"So that's how they did it" said Tom
Flashback
Glad that you all came. We'll start discussing the recent events" Windu said, pressing a button which made a holographic image of a male Zygerrian sitting next to a table which he was handcuffed to.
"This man you see in the image was Atai Molec, the prime minister of Zygerria who served under the late Queen Miraj Scintel. We were able to capture Atai a few months ago after the queen's death after trying to sell a selling captured Jedi to slavery by Jedi Master Saesee Tinn. But a week after his capture, we recorded this..." Windu pressed a button and the image began to move and Saesee then appeared in the image.
"What do you want Jedi? I told you everything you need to know" Atai grumbled as Saesee got closer and unlocked his handcuffs.
"What? What is this? Are you...?"
The Zygerrian was interrupted when the Jedi grabbed him by the neck and pinned him down on the table, choking him to death.
"What? Wha.. what are you doing?! I told you everything you asked! P...pl...please! S...s...s...stop... I... I beg...of you" He finally stops moving and dies.
Here's another video of a similar incident. This was taken on Geonosis where Jedi Master Eeth Koff and his forces were sent to take care of the rest of the remaining Geonosian army. This occurred inside one of the Geonosian bases that were obtained after defeating the soldiers" Windu pressed the play button to start the next video as it appears on top of the holotable.
"Everything is secured Commander" said a clone trooper, talking to his commanding officer in the hangar of the Geonosian base.
"Alright, let's go back to base and report to General Koth" The commander replied and looked at the comlink on his arm.
"This is Commander Stone. Everything in the hangar bay has been secured. We're pulling back... ... ... uhhh... guys? You're suppose to report back!" Stone ordered, yet no one answered on his com link.
"Respond! Is anyone listening?!" Still no response.
"Gah! Let's go! I swear if those guys are messing with me..." He stopped himself to see Eeth Koth to enter the hangar bay with a light saber in his hand.
"G-general Koth! We were just about to go back base to give a report. You never told us that you were coming..." Stone stopped his sentence when Eeth activated his light saber and started to get closer and closer to the clones.
"Uhhh... sir? What are you..." Stone stopped when Eeth's light saber ran him threw, killing him and attacked the rest of the clones.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Blam! Blam!
"General, why are you doing... uggghhhhhh!"
"Master Secura! Is there something wrong?" Aang asked.
But then, he gasped to see Aayla activated the light saber in hand.
"M-master Secura! What's going on?! Are we being under attack?!" Aang continue to ask.
Aayla then jumped in front of the Senator and stabs him with her blade.
"Wha-what are you...?" He asks her, only to see Aayla give a sinister looking grin and dies.
End of flashback
"No wonder how they infiltrated so successfully without us knowing. By teleporting the droids and attack the target at the exact time, it's...it's..."
"Amazing, isn't?" said D.1666
"I wouldn't say that, but whatever"
"If everyone's ready, you should start the teleportation pad thingy" said Anakin
"Before that, one: it is not a thingy. Just call it a teleportation pad or pad for short. Second of all, I need to explain how it works"
"Oh c'mon! We've wasted enough time! Can we just go?" said Anakin
"Very well, we shall go. Unless you want to be ripped to shreds" said D.1666
"Are you threatening us?!
"Hold on Anakin. Why would you think we be ripped to shreds?" Tom asked
"In order to answer that, I need to explain how the teleportation pad works"
"We don't have time for that! The enemy could be already gone by now!"said Anakin
"By enemy, you mean my creator?" D.1666 asked
"Well, yeah"
"Impossible. My creator never leaves his droid workshop"
"Why's that?" Tom asked
"The creator is always busy, creating new droids, working on prototypes. One of his creations you all famously know is a kaleesh cyborg that goes by the name General Grievous"
"What?! Are you saying that he created that monster?" Obi Wan asked
"Along with Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser, he created many new inventions for the Separatists, even before the war. Which is why he could never leave his workshop. And also because of his...condition"
"Condition? Is he sick?" Ahsoka asked
"Not exactly" said D.1666
"Well we'll get to that later. Now about the teleportation pad" said Tom
"The teleportation pad..." D.1666 started "Is actually similar to the Hyperdrive propulsion systems on starships. Like the hyperdrive, the teleportation pad allows the object or a person into hyperspace"
"So it's like a smaller version of the hyperdrive" said Obi Wan
"Exactly. However, although typically restricted to inanimate objects, the teleportation pad can be used on living organisms as well, including humans. However, as the body is unable to handle the speed involved in the transfer through hyperspace, they would normally "be ripped to shreds" as a result. In short, anything that is a organism or has flesh and organs would be destroyed"
"W-wait... are you saying if we go into hyperspace, we die" said Anakin whose voice is trembling
"Exactly. A rather painful and horrifying death"
"But you and many other droids passes through the pad to get to place to place. How are you still intact?" Obi Wan asked
"The structure that the creator has us made is highly durable and resistant that we can pass through hyperspace unscathed. And since we have no flesh or organs, we still pass with ease" D.1666 explained
"So there's no way we could pass through the teleportation pad" said Ahsoka
"I'm afraid so"
"Your lying!" Anakin yelled, grabbing D.1666. "Your hiding something, so tell us!"
"I am not hiding anything. Everything I explained to you is the truth and only the truth"
"Then let's test it! I'll go through hyperspace and we'll see that the teleportation pad we'll kill me or not"
"What?!" Ahsoka yelled
"Anakin, you can't!" Obi Wan said. As for Tom, he walked away from the group
"Where are you going?!" Anakin asked, without even looking. Tom stopped but didn't answer "Are you just going to just give up?! Your the one who set up this operation! Are you really going to let them get away with the murder's and let the Jedi take the blame?!" Tom still didn't answer
"...it's impossible. Everything that D.1 said is true. Whether your traveling through hyperspace on a teleportation pad or in a starship, unless your inside something very durable like a starship, anything that has flesh and organs will be killed by the incredible and intense speed of hyperspace. It's impossible for us. And I think Anakin knows it too. But he's right. We have to find a way to get to the droid factory, wherever it is. The fate and image of the Jedi Order depends on this mission. Hoo boy... I hope Anakin never hears that I think he's right. Now think! Think!"
"Hey! Are you listening?!" Anakin yelled while Tom thinks of a plan
"Tch,whatev... ow!" Anakin let's go of D.1666 and notices a small cut on his middle finger
"Ow! That hurt!"
"My apologies. You must have injured yourself while you weren't looking" said D.1666
"Yeah, I guess I... wait! YOUR SAYING IT'S MY FAULT?!" yelled Anakin out of frustration
"Most likely, yes"
"Your lying again!"
"Anakin, stop yelling at the droid" said Obi Wan
"BUT IT WASN'T MY FAULT...ow!" Anakin looks at his injured finger and sees Ahsoka tending to it
"Ahsoka?"
"Hold still" Ahsoka puts her index finger on Anakin's finger and it started to glow
"Force Healing. I forgot that you can do that" said Anakin
"And you can't?" Ahsoka asked, raising her right eyebrow
"No. I...I'm not really good at midi-chlorian control" Anakin said nervously while everyone else (except Tom) was giving Anakin a look as if they were saying "Say what?!"
"What? It's not my fault! I have a high midi chlorian count so it's hard to control them"
"That and your also impatient, brash, irritable..." said Obi Wan
"Hey! I'm not like th..."
"Not to mention your cocky, kinda arrogant and sort of a know-it-all" said Ahsoka, finished with healing Anakin's finger
"Oh come on! You two?!" While Ahsoka and Obi Wan makes fun of a vulnerable Anakin, Tom continues to think of a plan
"Force healing... connecting the users midi-chlorians to the targets injuries as a healing factor. Connecting...connection...Anakin...high midi-chlorian count...Force healing...connecting...Anakin...
...
...
...
...! That's it!
"I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!" Tom yelled, surprising everyone
"Figured out what?" Anakin asked
"I know how we could still pass through hyperspace and continue the mission!"
"You want us to do what?!" Anakin asked, after hearing Tom's plan
"Can you repeat your plan slowly so that Anakin can understand it?" Obi Wan asked
"It's not that! It's just that I think his plan sounds crazy!"
"I disagree. My sensors tell me that you are lying that you don't understand my masters plan and is why it sounds crazy" said D.1666
"Yeah, I can believe that" Ahsoka agreed
"Me too" And so did Tom
"Why are you all ganging up on me?!" Anakin yelled
"Anyway, we can get pass through hyperspace by using Force Healing" Tom explained
"How's that?" Obi Wan asked
"Normally anything that's living is ripped to shreds through hyperspace, but you can't get ripped to shreds if your body is healing itself through Force Healing"
"Your saying we can just heal ourselves while going into hyperspace? It could work but..." said Ahsoka
"What if the midi-chlorians we have aren't enough to heal us and were still in hyperspace? Which reminds me..." Obi Wan then looks at D.1666 "How much time do we have when we're in hyperspace?"
"For the five of us, I would have to say twenty minutes" D.1666 replied
"Twenty minutes? I don't know if the midi-chlorians we have will be enough for the trip"
"We don't have to" said Tom
"Why's that?" Obi Wan asked
"Because we can just borrow Anakins midi-chlorians"
"What? Why me?"
"You said it yourself. You said that you have high midi-chlorian count"
"Okay but how can someone borrow someone else's midi-chlorians?"
"Because I can use a Force technique that allows another person to share his or her midi-chlorians to another. This is how I picture it. While Obi Wan and Ahsoka uses Force Healing on the four of us, I can use the technique that connects and shares midi-chlorians on Anakin. Through the two of you, he can share his midi-chlorians to you guys so that you have enough midi-chlorians to use Force Healing during the trip through hyperspace"
"It's like a midi-chlorian healing cycle" said Ahsoka
"Sort of. So what you guys think?" Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi Wan looked at each other with concern
"Don't tell me. They don't trust the plan. Or is it that they don't trust the one who thought of the plan? Well I haven't actually done anything to earn their trust. I suppose I could just tell them to forget the plan. I have to admit it does sound crazy and that probably wouldn't work at all. I bet even Anakin would agree with me that its crazy"
"We'll go with it" said Anakin, surprising Tom
"What? I thought you wouldn't go with it!"
"True, it is crazy. Heck, it might not even work. But your the one who thought of it and the one who got us this far. So we'll trust your judgement"
"I thought you couldn't stand my judgement and the fact that I'm smarter than you"
"True, but your the one figured out the ones who were impersonating Jedi are assassin droids using hologram technology, analyzed their weakness and led us to their base of operations" said Obi Wan
"Even though you don't act like it, you care about the people around and do everything you can to protect them, although your methods are unusual" said Ahsoka
"Its like you said, members of the Jedi Temple are family and we should do everything we can to protect them. That's just enough to believe you" said Anakin "Now let's show this creator guy not to mess with our family!" said Anakin, reaching his hand out to Tom
"Yeah, we will" Tom replied as he took Anakins hand
"So like this right?" Anakin asked while he, Ahsoka, Obi Wan and Tom are in a circle like formation while holding hands of the next to them
"Yes, like that. Now let me explain it again just so we're clear. I'll use the Force technique that would allow Anakin to transfer his midi-chlorians to Ahsoka and Obi Wan so that they can have enough to heal the four of us through hyperspace. Got it?" Tom explained
"You transfer, I lend Obi Wan and Ahsoka midi-chlorians and they heal us. Yeah, I got"
"Hold on. What about the midi-chlorians that Anakin gave me and Ahsoka? Will he be able to recover them?" Obi Wan asked
"Yes, all the midi-chlorians he lost will be recovered after two hours. The only set back to this is fatigue and some dizzy spells. Which will last after the two hours of midi-chlorian recovery" Tom explained
"I think I can do that" Anakin said "Hey D.1, you sure you can activate teleportation pad?"
"Yes, I can even activate it without even touching the keypad" said D.1666 while being in the center of the circle
"Starting teleportation activation countdown..."
"Hold on. Can I ask you something?" Anakin asked
"What is it?"
"You said that we would be ripped to shreds while we're in hyperspace. It's not gonna hurt us, right?"
"No, it's not"
"Oh, phew"
"It's only going to hurt you four"
"Wait... what?"
"I have answered your question. Now let me start the teleportation activation countdown...10"
"Aw man"
"Relax Anakin, we knew it would hurt" said Obi Wan
"...9"
"Besides, if this plan fails, the pain from being in hyperspace will be the least of our worries"
"I guess so"
"...8"
"Alright guys, I'm going to activate the technique so that Anakin can share his midi-chlorians with you two" said Tom
"Okay" said Ahsoka
"We're ready when you are" said Obi Wan
"...7"
"Now, Force Transfer!" Okay, do you guys feel anything?"
"Yeah, I... I can feel it. Ow! Master!" said Ahsoka
"Anakin, giving us too much! You need to concentrate!" Obi Wan asked
"Sorry"
"...6"
"There. Better?" Anakin asked while Ahsoka and Obi Wan nodded
"Alright! Obi Wan! Ahsoka! Prepare Force Healing"
"Right"
"Right"
"...5"
"Okay, everyone! Prepare yourselves! We could survive this because of the plan or it will blow up in our faces. But if it does fail, I just want to say that I respect each and every one of you" said Tom
"...4"
"Obi Wan, I've known you as long as I've known Qui Gon. And as far as I know, you've become a excellent Jedi. You deserve to be a member of the council. And I really haven't showed it, you've raised an impressive padawan who became splendid Jedi Knight. Qui Gon... would've been proud of you" said Tom to Obi Wan which brought a tear from his eye
"...3"
"Ahsoka, I haven't known you that long and since your Anakin's padawan, I really wasn't expecting much from you. But I've seen much potential from you and I can see why the Order chose you to his padawan. Your loyal, brilliant and kind, so much you would follow him to very end. He is very lucky to have you by his side" said Tom to Ahsoka whose is smiling
"Also, if we survive this and finish this mission, there's something I want to share with you"
"What is it?"
"I'll explain it to you later. For now, survive through this and protect the ones you think is necessary to protect" Tom then looks at Anakin
"...2"
"Hoo boy. Alright Anakin..."
"You don't have to say anything to me. I already know what you think of me and I deserve it. I'm probably look like one lousy Chosen One to you" said Anakin
"Anakin... I was also discovered by Qui Gon" said Tom, surprising Anakin
"Oh! Well to tell you truth Tom..." Anakin said until Tom interrupted
"I was three years old when he found me and I was still that age when he died. If he were still alive, we would've known each other better. But we didn't and as far as I know, haven't had the most happiest times the past twelve years"
"Okay, but Tom I..."
"Most of the people I cared about are all dead and I couldn't protect them. But Anakin, it was different with you. You've met so many people and you were able protect them. You were wrong. You... are a amazing Chosen One. Also, if your still not mad at me... I would like... to be..."
"Tom!"
"Shut up Anakin! I'm having a emotional episode right now and I just need five seconds!" said Tom hysterically (And I think he was crying too)
"I already know that Qui Gon was the one who found you"
"Anakin! For once! Can't you just... wait... what?"
"I already know about you and Qui Gon" said Anakin
"What?! How? When?"
"Dex told me and Ahsoka while we were at his diner. Remember? You were getting a haircut"
"Wha...? But...? ... Ha! Haha! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Uh...Tom?" Anakin asked while Tom was laughing like maniac
"I'm such an idiot. I've to be the biggest idiot to believe that you and I would... Anakin! This is all your fault!"
"What? What did I do?"
"I see everything and everything as a play. I am the director, kind of like Shakespeare. I do everything behind the scenes so that everything is tip top shape. I prepare the actors. I write the scripts. I make the outfits. I make the scenery. I create songs and dances. But you, an actor, did something so horrifying that everything falls apart. What you did is mess with the play. You mess with the play, you mess with the director. You mess with director, you mess with Shakespeare. AND YOU DO NOT MESS SHAKESPEARE! GOT IT?!"
"Alright, I got. You don't have to yell"
"...1"
"Wait! That's it? You can't just end a chapter like..." Anakin said until...
"...0. Teleporting now"
"They're so much like you guys. These three would've loved you all. Kazuto, Asuna, Gai, Sui Feng, Hikari. I promise that what happened at Yavin won't ever happen again. Ever"
"Aww. Well that's a nice way to end a chapter. You really are a director" Anakin said
"Shut up"
