Chapter 14
Something tells me that this story will be less than 20 chapters. Though I don't wanna end it so quick! Oh yeah, and as you can see, I went back to normal schedule.
Warning: Includes hints of rape in this chapter
Anakin Skywalker was very worried. He now hated the Traditionalists. Despite what all Jedi say, Anakin knew that hate was not that dangerous.
The Traditionalists try to completely block it, and the Balancers try to control it, but Anakin knew that uncontrolled rage can sometimes be useful during battle. Though he will try to control it at most times.
Anakin was now waiting for Adenan to finish the making of equipment that might help them. Anakin paced around the central command station.
Anakin's uncle, Talimer Skywalker, who was in the cruiser, came up to Anakin.
"Don't worry, Adenan will finish the equipment shortly" Talimer tried to console his nephew
"Yeah, I hope!" Anakin replied
"Apprentices always have ideas, they may seem bad, but they might have good consequences" Talimer told Anakin
Adenan came in with Admiral Yularen. Two Clone Troopers wheeled up a box on a cart.
"I should say, Lord Skywalker, your apprentice has some interesting ideas!" Admiral Yularen commented, Anakin reminded himself to change his rank back to General from Lord
Adenan walked up to the box and got out two clothes. Anakin saw that they were both black, like Vader's robes. Except that one of them was smaller.
Adenan came up to Anakin.
"Yeah… you're obviously wondering why I made clothing, but you'll find out, wear this" Adenan gave his Master the bigger ones.
Few minutes later, Anakin came in wearing those robes, everything was black, except for the gloves, which were yellow, and the boots were yellow too. He had golden shoulder pads on his robes. He saw Adenan wearing similar robes, except, his gloves and boots were grey and his shoulder pads were silver.
"The rubber gloves should give you extra grip over your lightsaber" Adenan said
Anakin took his lightsaber from his black utility belt and lifted it up, the blue blade shimmered to life. Anakin loosely held it and waved it. Anakin was honestly surprised at the fact that he didn't drop his lightsaber when doing it in a way his lightsaber would not drop.
"This will give you more time to catch your lightsaber if the enemy pushes your lightsaber away" Adenan explained
"Wow." Anakin kept looking at his gloves in awe
"Oh yeah!" Adenan continued "There is more grip in your boots, so this will make you harder to defeat!"
Anakin thanked Adenan for the suit. Adenan gave Anakin a mask, it was a smooth black mask. It had every feature of Anakin carved into it, but it didn't look anything like Anakin's face. Anakin put on his face and saw everything red.
"That's a mask that has no special features, I just felt a bit creative. It's actually the mask Emperor Sidious would've put on you if you burned on Mustafar" Adenan referred to the suit Darth Vader wore in most universes
"Did you make a mask for yourself, I think I look like a Sith!" Anakin was taken a bit aback by the new voice that came out of his helmet, and then looked around with new colours
"Yeah… I also made a mask for myself, the disguise of Darth Cameus in the Different Sith Universe!" Adenan exclaimed, putting on a silver mask which had a red line, for seeing through, it had vertical red lines from his nose to bottom of the mask
Anakin had to say that the mask matched the rest of his uniform. Anakin then went to a mirror and saw his reflection, all in red, but Anakin could imagine what it looked like for anyone other than him.
Anakin wondered why Adenan unnecessarily made the masks, but then decided not to ask it. Anakin and Adenan went to the ship hanger, in their masks, lots of Clones, Jedi and Officers looked at them weirdly.
Adenan signalled Anakin to just ignore them and go on. Anakin and Adenan went into their respective yellow and green starfighters. Anakin looked at Adenan through the mask.
"You use Dimension Sightseeing a bit too much!" Anakin teased, in his most threatening voice
"Hmm… you do sound like Cyborg Darth Vader!" Adenan noted, then rubbing the bottom of his mask "Yeah, I probably am, but who doesn't want to see what would've happened!"
Both of them closed their Starfighter tops and then soared into the air and boosted to outer space, going to Coruscant.
Padmé was in terror, as she saw Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi enter her office. Even a non-force sensitive could see the anger and hatred within them.
"Chancellor Amidala!" Mace Windu intentionally ignored her given name
"Master Windu" Padmé greeted back, fear lining on her voice
Padmé grabbed hold of the arm rests of her soft chair. She saw the disappointed looks on the Jedi's faces. She also hated to see Obi-Wan following Mace Windu, who was now evil.
"It's certain, that your friends" Mace said the word 'friends', in disgust "Will come and 'save' you!"
"Then why are you here, if you know that will happen?" Padmé asked
"Because I have a certain… attraction to you. Not attachment. After Anakin's dead, you'll belong to me!" Obi-Wan's voice was more darker and deeper.
Padmé's eyes widened, she knew what Obi-Wan meant. She was now conflicted in her wants, for Anakin to come, or not. But wasn't what Obi-Wan wanted, counted as 'Attachment' too?
Padmé asked that question, and Mace Windu laughed maniacally. It was a horrifying sight as his cloak moved along with him. He then went to look at Padmé with his golden eyes.
"Sex is just… without love, which is attachment, so Obi-Wan can have sex with you as long as he doesn't love you!" Mace answered "Anakin should've done that!"
"What?" Padmé asked, becoming angry at Mace's suggestion "You can't just expect Jedi to be mindless drones that just… oh that's so despicable!" She spat
"That's not despicable, that's just to prevent us from forming attachments!" Mace argued back
Padmé chose another approach "I am the Chancellor! I can make sure you get discovered for who you truly are!"
"No… we will discharge you when the Balancers get… off Balance!" Mace and Obi-Wan left, leaving Padmé more scared than ever
She hoped that Anakin will save her… and not die. She began to think of what Obi-Wan had become, a vile, mindless Jedi. He was the Master and Apprentice of the two biggest mavericks in the Jedi Order, so it was kinda weird.
Maybe Darth Sidious was right
Flashback
Darth Sidious was mumbling something about the Jedi, Empire and Darth Vader as Padmé was sitting on her cage, in the dark room that the Chancellor's Senate Pod was then, Sidious came to her.
"What?" Padmé asked
"You should know, the Jedi are just Self-Denying that only care about themselves!" Sidious spat
"No. The Jedi are selfless!" Padmé protested
"Ask Obi-Wan that, even to the Jedi, he's a self-denying zealot that doesn't care about anybody!" Sidious replied
"No! Obi-Wan cares for Anakin!"
"He doesn't! He has become more vile than ever, I can sense it! Mace Windu is the true evil one here, but he is weak, and I am strong! and I can see thing right. Think about it! Join me!"
End of Flashback
'No, scratch that!' Padmé thought 'Sidious was right… and who was Vader anyway?' But Padmé had no time to think about it. She thought that if Anakin saved her from the cage a few weeks later, it might always happen.
But Padmé then thought it was only luck. She was truly confused of what was going on. Deep down, she knew Anakin would save her. The Balancers were good! Adenan was a friend of hers, and an apprentice to her husband. They will come
Right?
I promised that Anakin and Adenan would save Padmé this chapter, but that would be next chapter, okay? I promise! NEXT CHAPTER: THE SAVIOURS
