Asakura Chronicles
"OWWWW! IT HURT'S!" yelled Ahsoka while she, Anakin, Obi Wan, Tom and D.1666, while riding through hyperspace, still in a circle formation and D.1 was in the middle. The view was incredible, traveling through a parallel universe, an extra dimension of space, an alternate mode of physical existence, or simply the universe as viewed traveling faster than the speed of light. Not to mention that these four Jedi are probably the first few people to travel into hyperspace without the protection of being inside a starship. Just traveling in broad hyperspace. That is, of course, if they can survive the trip.
"Hold on Ahsoka! Just a little longer now!" Anakin said, while at the same time giving her and Obi Wan his midi chlorians while they continue to use Force Heal to keep the four in tact. If they don't, they will be ripped to shreds by the intense speed of hyperspace
"D.1! How much further?!" Tom yelled, painfully enduring the pain of his flesh being torn apart again and again while Force Heal regenerates the flesh he lost
"We're halfway there. You need to endure this for ten more minutes" The droid replied
"It feels like we've been here longer than that!" Obi Wan yelled
"Huff huff master... I don't think... I can... hold on... for much longer" Ahsoka said exhausted
"No! Just hang on! We can do it! We're almost there!" said Anakin
"But the pain is too much!"
"Just shut up and do it! If you can endure this pain for ten minutes, then you can it for another ten minutes! You are my padawan, aren't ya Snips?"
"We're almost there. Only five minutes" said D.1666
"Okay everyone, you heard him! Anakin, give us every midi chlorian you've got and don't hold back! If we don't make this through, then the past fifteen minutes in hell we've been through would've been for nothing! Now, are we going to push this sonavabitch back and make it to the top or WHAT?!" yelled Tom
"OKAY!" everyone, except D.1, yelled
"AUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!"
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAA!"
"RRRRROOOOOOOOOOO!"
"GGGGYYYYYYAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
"Anakin? Anakin! Wake up! Anakin!"
"Groan"
"Anakin! Are you alright?"
"Oh man, my head"
"Anakin, can you get up?"
"Wha..."
"Hey idiot! WAKE UP!" Anakin was slammed by the back of his head, hitting something made of metal. Both his head and face are screaming in pain by both the impact on the floor and getting punched in the face. Anakin raised his head to see a annoyed Tom, having his robotic arm shaped into a fist
"What the heck was that for?! Wait... don't tell me. Your mad at me for ruining your moment with me at the warehouse, right?"
"No..."
WHAM!
"...but thanks for reminding me"
"OWW! Will you stop that?! And quit using that metal arm of yours! You nearly split my skull!"
"That's impossible. It's because of your idiotesy that makes your skull dense that I need a lot more force to put crack on there"
"I don't know if that was an insult or a comment"
"Of course you don't know. Your an idiot"
"Okay, now I know that was an insult! So why'd hit me the first time? And while we're at it, why's your arm showing? Isn't there some kind of plastic that you where around it? And where are we?" Anakin asked, pointing at Tom's robotic arm and looking at his surroundings: a small white room with square tiles
"I can answer your second and third questions" said D.16666 who was standing behind Ahsoka
"During a trip through hyperspace, anything that is durable can survive the trip. However, but plastic isn't know to be durable, so it didn't survive the intense speed"
"It's the same for you Anakin" said Obi Wan, who was sitting next to Anakin while pointing at his robotic hand which is also noticeable
"And we are inside one of the teleportation rooms like the warehouse we were in at Corusant" D.1 explained
"Wait... so we made it through hyperspace?" Anakin said surprisingly
"Yeah. Also, the reason why I hit you the first time was because you were dosing off while we're in enemy territory. We need to move before the enemy knows where we are" Tom said
"Alright, I'm getting..." Anakin starts to get up then he falls down while his head spins
"Oww... my head" Anakin moaned
"Anakin, what's wrong?"
"Master!"
"Relax. This probably the side effects of the loss of midi chlorians I was telling you about. We need to move and find a place to hide until Anakin can rest. He won't be any help if he isn't at a hundred percent. Let's go" Tom said exiting the room, followed by D.1 while Obi Wan and Ahsoka helps Anakin up
"Guys, hurry up. You need to see this" said Tom
"Okay, we're coming" said Obi Wan while he and Ahsoka carried a dizzy Anakin and exited the to see a huge window and through that window they stars, nebula's and planets, all that kind of stuff you see in space
"Wh...where are we?" Ahsoka asked while she and Obi Wan look to their right and their left to see hallways that go along with the huge window
"D.1, where are we? You said that we were going to the place of your birth, as well as your creators home" said Tom
"That's right. Technically, the place of all holographic assassin droids, as well as many other droids are created is here, in this space station"
"So this entire space station serves as a base and a droid factory?" Obi Wan asked
"If that's true, then this place must be ginormous. It might take awhile for the guards to get here. D.1, is there someplace here that we can hide in for a few hours and not get detected?" Tom asks
"Hold on, let me check the blueprints of the station... alright. I found something. But it might take awhile to there"
"Then we better make a move on it, before..."
Clank Clank Clank
"We're almost there!" said a droid faraway across the hall
"They're already here?" said Ahsoka
"They've arrived quickly than I anticipated" D.1 replied
"Which way did you say the location was?" Tom asked
"That way" D.1 pointed to the other direction
"Alright people, run!" The five of them started running from probably hundreds of battle droids. While Tom and D.1 are ahead, Obi Wan and Ahsoka are slowed by carrying a weakened Anakin
"Hurry up you two!" Tom yelled
"Anakin, will you stop dragging your feet! Your slowing us down!" said Obi Wan
"S-sorry. I'm just so tired" said weakening Anakin
"Pick up the pace you two! We'll get..." Tom then notices a small streak of blood coming down his neck, dripping tiny droplets down on the floor
"I'm... bleeding? I guess my body hasn't recovered from the trip during hyperspace. I'll take care of it once we... hold on..." Tom turned his head to check behind him and sees Obi Wan and Ahsoka almost out of breath and bleeding from several wounds
"I was right! If we don't get to the rendezvous point soon, we'll be to weak to continue the operation from loss of blood. Not only that, the enemy might find us by following the trail of blood. Damn it, we have to stop to take care of our injuries. But if we do, the enemy will catch us. Then..."
"Do you mind if I carry him?" D.1 asking Obi Wan and Ahsoka, looking shocked. D.1 then grabs Anakin and carries him on its back then continued running
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Ahsoka asks angrily
"Carrying your load. I am also programmed to multitask. In short, I can still be your guide while carrying a person or two. I am assassin droid. I can take on and lift enemies that are twice my size" D.1 replied
"Well no one asked you to" Ahsoka grumbled
"If I hadn't, your bodies would've failed you from carrying that extra weight"
"What do you..." Obi Wan stopped and looked at Ahsoka, who was covered in wounds and bleeding. Then he looked at himself and he was also in the same condition
"You see? If I hadn't decided to carry him, your injuries from traveling through hyperspace would have worsen and you wouldn't have made it. Knowing your enemies and allies weakness is part of my programming"
"Oh... well, thank you" said Obi Wan
"Your welcome... Jedi scum"
"What?"
"Nothing"
CLANK CLANK CLANK
"Hurry! This way!"
"Roger roger!" The sound of droids clanking were now coming from the direction the group are going to
"More are coming over that direction?" said Obi Wan
"They'll surround us!" said Ahsoka
"It's okay! There's an elevator over there. We can take it" said D.1. Tom reached out and pressed the elevator button several times
"C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!" said Tom frantically
"Pressing continuously and repeating c'mon is not going to make the elevator go faster, Master Asakura" said D.1
"Shut up! We're in a hurry!" said Tom who was still pressing the button while the clanking of battle droids from both sides got closer and closer
"Damn it! What the hell is taking so long?!" Tom said furiously
"Looks like we need to hold our ground here. Ahsoka, you take the ones on the left. I'll take the ones on the right" said Obi Wan
"Alright!"
"Absolutely not! We haven't recovered yet!" said Tom
"Well what are we suppose to do?! If we stay here, we die. And if we fight, we die!" Ahsoka replied
"The elevator should arrive here soon. However, if my calculations are correct, the droid forces will arrive before then" said D.1 while Toms face lit up
"Wait... D.1, how long do you assume the elevator will get here?"
"I'd say about three minutes"
"And when the droid forces get here?"
"One minute and thirty seconds" D.1 said while Tom smirked
"Perfect. Obi Wan and Ahsoka, hold them off until the elevator gets here. When I give you the signal, get back here and get in the elevator, got it?"
"Got it"
"Got it"
"Alright, now go!" Tom ordered as Obi Wan goes to the right and Ahsoka to the left
"How much time do we have?" Tom asks D.1
"Two minutes"
"Okay. If we play things right, we should survive this"
Left side of the hallway
"Okay men, we'll soon meet up with the intruders. And when we spot them, blast them!" said a battle droid whose head is painted red while leading a squad of twenty other battle droids
"Roger roger!" said the other droids
"Today, we, Squad Red, are going to beat Squad Blue! Those overconfident programmed dolts just because they, the B1 series battle droids, are our successors. Well we, OOM-series battle droids, will show them a thing or two!"
"Roger roger!"
"And the Blue Squad Commander, ugh! He is so full of himself just because he got promoted to First Lieutenant while I became Second Lieutenant! And then... he had the nerve to rub it in on me and showed his rank to TC-14 just to impress her! It makes me so angry that I could rip my head off and throw it at that Jedi over there!" said the droid commander, pointing at Ahsoka
"Roger ro... uhhh... Jedi?"
"Hey clankers, what's the matter? Jedi got your circuit boards?" Ahsoka said, taunting the droids
"Don't make fun of the heart of my interface! Men, blast her! This one's for you TC-14!"
"Roger, roger!"
Right side of the hallway
BAM! BAM BAM BAM!
"Hear that? I can hear blaster shots. We must be getting close now" said a battle droid whose head is painted blue and is also leading a squad of twenty battle droids. "Alright, when you see the intruders, blast them"
"Roger roger" said the other battle droids
"And we, Squad Blue, will defeat and surpass those lesser battle droid generation once again and show them who has the superior programming!"
"Roger roger!"
"And that Red Squad Commander! He is so annoying just because he has more experience and treats us like we're malfunctioning. He acts like we've never seen a E-5 blaster rifle! He makes me sick!"
"Roger, roger!"
"And he treats TC-14 like she belongs to him! It's ridiculous! A droid can't keep another droid! Sometimes I just to shoot randomly so fast it would make my head fall off!"
"Sounds like a real problem. Maybe I can help?" The battle droids stop to Obi Wan in front of them with his lightsaber activated
"It's a Jedi! Blast him! This one's for you, TC-14!"
"Sounds like they started already" said Tom waiting at the elevator with D.1 who is still carrying Anakin, listening to the blast shots
"D.1, how much longer until the elevator gets here?"
"10 seconds" The droid replied
"Alright, when the elevator door opens, you and Anakin get in there and make sure it doesn't close so that me, Obi Wan and Ahsoka are in, got it?"
"Yes" Suddenly, the door to elevator slides to the left
"The ten seconds are up" said D.1
"I can see that. Now the two of you get inside and hold the door so it won't close"
"Yes sir!" said D.1 as he gets in the elevator and then puts its hand on the door. After that, Tom put his left hands middle and index finger in his mouth and made a loud whistle
"That must be the signal" said Obi Wan, deflecting blaster bullets with his lightsaber then ran back to the elevator
"Hey! Get back here! Don't ignore my feelings for TC-14! After him!" Ordered the Blue Squad Commander droid
"Roger roger!"
"Okay, we're here!" said Ahsoka
"What now?" said Obi Wan
"Get in" said Tom, holding a small, thin, white cylinder. "D.1, give me a countdown of when the two droid squads will start firing again"
"Alright. Thirty seconds..."
"They're in the elevator! Get them before they escape!" said the Red Squad Commander droid
"Not before we do!" said the Blue Squad Commander droid
"Twenty seconds..."
"Okay you two, when I give the signal, close your eyes" said Tom while Obi Wan and Ahsoka nodded
"Get ready..."
"Ten seconds..."
"...aim..."
"Zero seconds"
"Everyone! Close your eyes!" Tom yelled while he threw the small cylinder, which started beeping
"Fire!"
"Fire!" The cylinder exploded into a big, shining, bright light, blinding the droids
"Augh! Don't get distracted! Start firing!"
"Gahh! You think this will slow us down! Everyone, fire!" The droids started firing several times, but they were firing not at Tom and the others, they were firing at each other, blinded by the bright light of the flash bomb
"S-stop! Stop firing! We're firing at each other! Stop it!"
"Hold your fire! Hold your fire! Why aren't you holding your fire?!"
"Eeekkk! Bright light! Bright light! Bright light!" yelled Gizmo from the movie Gremlins
"Whew! That was close!" said Obi Wan while he, Tom, Ahsoka, D.1 and Anakin who is still unconscious are in the elevator
"That was some quick thinking down there" said Ahsoka, complimenting Tom
"Don't get to excited just yet. We're not out of the clear. Plus that flash bomb only lasts for fifteen minutes, so unless those droids already took themselves down, we can't let our guards down. D.1, where is this elevator taking us?" said Tom
"The 4th floor. That's where the prison cells are. It's where the creator keeps his... other experiments. We can stay there to heal your injuries and rest for a while" D.1 replied
"Wait... if there's a prison then wouldn't that mean there are guards there?" Obi Wan asked
"Yes, but I'm confident that we can figure out a plan to take care them, am I right Master?" D.1 asked, turning to Tom
"As of matter of fact, I do" said Tom who was grinning
"Everyone, listen up" said a Tactical droid with green plating to the other battle droids in the room while surrounded by a round, black set of computers and desktops which are being operated by four battle droids
"It has been confirmed that this secret space station has been discovered and is being infiltrated. How they found it, how they infiltrated the space station under our radar and how many of them is unknown. However, the intruders are being pursued as we speak somewhere in the lower levels but if they do make it here, we must do everything we can to keep the prisoners from escaping and keep the intruders preoccupied until the Jedi Holographic Assassination Unit arrives. We must not let the enemy discover the secrets this space station holds or everything will ruined, understood?"
"Roger roger!" said the battle droids
"Uhhh..." a battle droid mumbled
"Is there something you want to say SX-3504?" the Tactical Droid asked
"Well... there has been rumors that one of the droids from the J.H.A.U. (Jedi Holographic Assassination Unit) is working alongside the intruders, sir" the battle droid said
"Impossible. Even if one of them was captured by the Republic, their is no way that the droids programming can be corrupted, because that is how they were created. No matter what kind of program the enemy would use, it would have no affect whatsoever. So the rumors that one of the Creators droids is working with the infiltrators is incor..."
"Uhh... sir? Someone is using elevator 22-Z9 but I can't identify whose in it" said one of the battle droids that are monitoring the computers on the round, black desktop
"Why can't you identify it? Is elevator 22-Z9's security cameras stopped functioning?" asked the Tactical Droid
"Well actually... the cameras is working. The problem is that I can't see anything through them" the Tactical Droid looked at the screen which is completely blackened
"Hmm, it seems that all the cameras are being blocked by something. How suspicious. Have you tried contacting whoever is inside it?"
"No, I haven't. I'll..."
"Wait. Let me" The Tactical Droid then pressed a button that's next to the screen and then grabbed a microphone
"This is TA-175, Chief Guard of Separatists Prison QAB-77715. We cannot identify you through the security cameras. Please respond" TA-175 spoke through the microphone but received no response
"Did you not here me? I asked you to identify yourself and to respond. If you don't respond back, I will have to..."
CLANK! BANG!
"Hello? Hello?! They are not responding. How suspicious. CT-44555..." T4-175 asked the battle droid next to him
"Yes sir?"
"Can you figure out which door they will be coming out of?"
"One moment sir... Uhhh... I got it!"
"And...?"
"It seems that whoever is in that elevator will be exiting through that door" CT-44555 then pointed at the elevator door to the right.
"Are you sure?"
"Roger roger"
"Hmm... everyone! Get into battle positions! You three! SX-3504, GJ-6363 and FK-8254! Guard the west perimeter of the prison!"
"Roger roger!"
"You three over there! VN-1344, RI-5598 and OP-3390! Guard the east perimeter of the prison!"
"Roger roger!"
"You four Super Battle Droids! JL-88943, YU-73460, AS-81466 and RT-65970! Stay at that door and be prepared if whoever is in the elevator retaliates!"
"Yes sir!"
"And you four, get ready in your battle positions as well!"
"Roger roger!"
"CT-44555, what is the exact time will they arrive"
"They will be here on my count! 10...
"Everyone! Whatever you do, do not fire if I deem the unknown passenger dangerous!"
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... there opening!" said the droid as the elevator door slowly slides to the left. And inside the elevator was D.1 who was still carrying Anakin. He exits the elevator until..."
"Halt!" said T4-175, who was holding a blaster towards D.1, as well as everyone single droid in the room except D.1
"What is your number and state your business here!"
"I am D.16666, one of the Jedi Holographic Assassination Unit. The man I am carrying here is Jedi General, Anakin Skywalker and one of the intruders" D.1 replied
"Why did you bring him here?" T4-175 asked
"Isn't obvious, Chief Guard? My squad captured this Jedi and ordered me to bring him here and give him to you so that you can interrogate him and learn everything he knows"
