Chapter 21
Hmm… this story's going to be way longer than I expected. The powers my OC, Adenan performs in this chapter was actually from a story not written by me called Burning Vendetta and currently used in Chapter 11 in Adenan: The Masterless Padawan.
This chapter will have spoilers of future chapters of Adenan: The Masterless Padawan, namely Chapters 12 and 13 of that story.
I also retconned Chapter 9 a bit, the part where Anakin thought of the heights of Adenan, Faro and Bethrona. Adenan, Faro and Bethrona's heights in that chapter was the heights they were when they were 14 years old, and the three of them are 16 in this story, and I recently became 6 ft, and I based Adenan off myself, so I predicted I'd be 6'2'' when I'm 16. Hopefully I didn't make that explanation too confusing.
While Talimer Skywalker and his nephew, Anakin Skywalker had gone abruptly from the Lars farm, Talimer's sister and Anakin's mother had put Anakin's current apprentice, Adenan Kornen in charge of everything.
Adenan was doing everything effectively. Setting up tables and chairs outside and building a temporary outpost on Tatooine using mysterious force powers Adenan thought he'd never use since the battles he fought on Cherenya two years before. Adenan used the force to lift more sand.
"Avera Kantana" Adenan chanted in a strong voice as two blue balls of energy came out of his hands, hitting the high mound of sand that was lifted, creating another wall.
Adenan actually created the outpost out of frozen sand, due to force magic originally found on Dathomir, though Adenan learnt to possess this magic in Cherenya, a planet highly strong in the force. Adenan's force element was ice, making it easy for him to freeze objects with the Avera charm.
The outpost had one more wall to be done. The outpost was literally made out of layers and layers of frozen sand, each grain positioned precisely and frozen quickly to make sure the walls were at it's strongest. The walls were made high, high like a three floor apartment.
Though he couldn't shake off the feeling that the outpost he was building won't ever be used.
Meanwhile in the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Solace and a few other Traditionalist Jedi were going to apprehend Cin Drallig for turning their masses of younglings against them. Obi-Wan most of all, since he felt betrayed by his friend.
They all saw the younglings and Padawans who had lost their Masters in Order 66 follow Cin Drallig. Obi-Wan and Mace activated their lightsabers.
"Cin Drallig. Under the Traditionalist Order, you are under arrest" Mace sternly announced
"So, Padawan Jelaino had decided to tattle on me" Cin retorted in a sly tone, a small smile forming on his lips as he activated his green lightsaber
Solace activated her blue lightsaber and blew away a piece of her black hair that was near her eye. Her cream skin was partially shining against the sun as she charged at the lightsaber instructor. Her black eyes were glaring daggers at Drallig.
The blue and green lightsabers hit, forming an 'X'. They duelled furiously, as Cin defended the younglings and the the Traditionalists not following Cin fighting to arrest Cin and kill the 'corrupted' younglings.
The duel gone furiously, as Cin thought of a strategy to get across the wall of Jedi and guards.
"Younglings and Padawans, I urge you to go from here through the back exit!" Cin ordered all the people behind him
Though hesitant, all the ones behind Cin left, and Mace growled in anger. Cin just smirked, knowing that he won.
"You will pay for your dishonour, Drallig!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, equally as angry as Mace Windu
"You were an honourable Jedi Obi-Wan, and I will miss that" Cin replied softly, then ran, trying to escape. He went through the back entrance and found all the younglings waiting for him. There was the normal metal ground and a collection of Jedi Ships used for transporting big groups of Jedi and younglings. They all ran and got on a big Jedi Ship that could contain many and flew off.
"What are you all waiting for, after them!" Mace ordered all the Obi-Wan and Solace, who followed him
The chase was on for them, Cin Drallig pulled for hyperspace and went to the last planet Mace Windu was known to attempt to hunt Anakin Skywalker, Tatooine.
The Traditionalists had tracked their route and went to Tatooine also, at the same speed as their current enemy.
Anakin and Talimer were on a space train, and were being paid to protect a former Separatist Senator. Since Grevious had died at the hands of Obi-Wan on Utapau, the Separatists have divided, some going to the Empire, which became the Republic once again, and others kept supporting the Separatist rule despite it was no more. They were protecting Senator Derek Nero, a human male with black hair that was styled professionally, he was wearing black senator's clothing. Pirates were trying to get to him and the two 'Bounty Hunters' were happy to help.
The Senator's ship landed on a metal landing pad, as Talimer and Anakin walked beside Senator Nero. Talimer and Anakin smiled at each other.
"Thanks you" Nero thanked graciously
"Your welcome, now where's the pay?" Talimer casually asked
Two men with black hair and fair skin came with a box, Talimer opened the box to see one million credits. Anakin lifted the chest up and both of them got on the Senator's ship so the Senator's pilots could escort the bounty hunters back to Malastare, where they kept their ship.
"T'was a good day, huh Ani?" Talimer asked his nephew happily
"Yes, it was" Anakin answered, equally happy, slightly chuckling at the way his uncle asked that question
"I wonder how Adenan's doing" Talimer said, in a voice that made sure that he was thinking
"I'm sure he's setting up an outpost, that kid has weird powers y'know" Anakin noted, being a bit serious
Adenan had completed the outpost, on the outside, it looked like a three floor apartment made out of very rough sandstone, but on the inside, there were three floors. The lowest floor being a cafeteria-like place, the second and third floor having military equipment. Adenan smiled at his creation, as his comm. link beeped. Adenan picked up the small cylinder and activated a mini-hologram, showing a hologram of Cin Drallig.
"Master Drallig" Adenan said in a respectful tone
"Padawan Kornen. I have many younglings and Padawans here that might be good for our cause" Cin replied, seriously
"What?" Adenan asked, not believing it
"Yes." Cin said
"How's Padawan Jelaino? She's an acquaintance" Adenan asked, lying a bit
"Are you sure you're acquaintances? She has a deep hatred for you" Cin asked, half joking
"Ok. Used to be acquaintances" Adenan said, groaning
"She's joined Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu, to answer your question" Cin answered
"Where are you?" Cin asked
"Tatooine, 5 miles north Anchorhead, near the Jundland wastes" Adenan answered
"Be more specific" Cin instructed Adenan, seeming not amused
"I am. It's not like outposts that look like three floor apartments are common in these places" Adenan joked
Cin snickered a bit, then told Adenan "I'll be there!"
Adenan went into the farmhouse and went down the stairs, he went to the second corridor, from that corridor he went into a small kitchenette. Adenan bent down, he frowned a bit at the height of the rooms, being that he was a lot taller than this kitchenette. Adenan found the refrigerator in the white room. He grabbed a carton of blue milk. He put it on a kitchen table. He got a transparent glass and poured the blue milk into the glass.
He carefully got out of the kitchen and began drinking the milk. He hated the fact that he had to drink milk all the time, but it was better than nothing. The 16 year old Padawan normally had apple juice, being that apples were his favourite fruit, but he couldn't find the juice here, so he had to stick with blue milk.
Adenan hoped that he could get off this planet quick and have some apple juice.
Little did he know, that his hopes would come true, to a level that Adenan would have not wanted to hope that.
Anakin Skywalker and Talimer Skywalker were now on their ship, researching a Catina to hang out in while. Talimer had found a good location in the Outer Rim. He quickly pressed the coordinates before Anakin could see the planet chosen.
"What was the planet?" Anakin asked in confusion
"It's a surprise" Talimer answered slyly, smirking a bit, but then beeps came from the ship, "What happened?" Talimer asked, panicked
"Apparently, a few parts important to the navicomputer are missing!"
"What?" Talimer asked confusedly
Anakin sighed, and then clarified slowly, "A few parts that controlled hyperspace coordinates are not in this ship, scrambling the Navicomputer"
"Thieves. I should've known not to leave our ship in clear sight, in the planet filled with scumbag Dugs!" Talimer angrily exclaimed
The ship uncontrollably stopped hyperspace in a planet that looked like it was filled with nature. Anakin and Talimer tried controlling the ship, but they were only able to move a bit as a few parts broke from the ship. Smoke started coming out of the ship as flames came from the sides. The ship was falling.
"We're crashing!" Anakin exclaimed, horrified
"Tell me something I don't know!" Talimer retorted, trying to control the ship
The ship went a bit up, so the bottom of the ship hit the ground as sparks were created, the sparks got everywhere as the ship tumbled, rendering the passengers unconscious and injured. The ruined ship bellowed smoke.
Meanwhile, Cin Drallig came out of hyperspace, he looked at the desert planet that was beyond him. The whole planet was brown. Cin pushed some buttons and started landing on the planet. Knowing that Adenan would be there.
Cin looked at the map for the nearest landing sight near the location Adenan gave him, he found a location, just a few meters away from a farmhouse that was there.
In a planet that was far from the centre of the galaxy, Anakin and Talimer were in fact, thrown out of the ship from the crash, while he was sure that his uncle was unconscious, judging from his uncle's presence in the Force, Anakin was still fighting to stay awake, until he was sure that someone was there.
He raised his head a bit, squinting as he looked around. He could tell that they crashed into farmland, due to the bright green corn around him. Anakin tried to stand up, but failed. He put his head on the ground, refusing for his body to become unconscious until he knew someone was there.
To his luck, he heard footsteps coming to him. He put his head down, trying to look unconscious. He didn't want to let whoever was there to know he was awake.
A man with dark hair that was styled similar to Anakin and wearing trader's clothing looked down at Anakin, while his wife, who had blonde hair, was thin and had cream skin looked down at Talimer. Both of them were wearing white. They were traders who happened to farm when they weren't trading.
"Kyra, let's get them back into our farmhouse" The man told his wife
"Yes Taren. We should do that" The wife replied, concerned for the two men that had crash landed into their farmland
As Anakin heard that, he decided that they were nice and trustable. She he stopped any effort to stay away, finally rendering him unconscious and allowing him the rest he needed.
So, Anakin and Talimer are stuck in a far away planet and Adenan is expecting Cin Drallig and a few of his fellow youngling and padawans to come with the lightsaber instructor. Whoever read Mother's Love by writer1988 should know who Kyra and Taren are, but I'll leave out the details here. NEXT CHAPTER: HEALING THE UNHEALED
