Chapter 26
Sorry for not updating any of my stories in a while, I was in a very tight schedule, and also, I lost inspiration completely for two stories, It's All Love and Dreams and Adenan the Masterless Padawan, I'm thinking of deleting the latter story and relying on flashbacks and recalls instead. Plus, it gives Adenan's group a more mysterious nature.
How does the name Xenia Kornen sound to anyone, Xenia's an OC based on my cousin. And of course, this OC, she's the cousin of Adenan, not Force Sensitive, so she stayed with Adenan's uncle and aunt, which was Xenia's father and mother. She will debut in my AU The Five-Person Rebellion, where Darth Plaguies takes Dooku as his apprentice and creates the Empire 10 years before Anakin Skywalker was born! So the Force causes more things to become different so the Light could win, Anakin is born as Anakin Skywalker-Jinn, son of Shmi Skywalker and Qui-Gon Jinn, and he has a little sister, Petra Jinn-Skywalker, Adenan lives as the unsatisfied son of a moderately wealthy family with his cousin, Xenia, Padmé is a farm girl who wants to make a difference to the Galaxy.
Adenan was reading a book about astronomy, a gift from his girlfriend and true love, Bethrona.
Of course, Adenan wasn't entirely focusing on the book, he was looking at Bethrona, who was talking to a guard.
Right now, Adenan was sitting on a chair in the main hall, waiting for Master Chi. Master Chi was bring a secret data chip that contained secret archive data of a secret entrance which only Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn and Talimer Skywalker knew.
"Hey Adenan!" Adenan heard a deep voice greet
"Qui-Gon Jinn!" Adenan whispered happily, then went to the bathroom that was just a few chairs away, a normal bystander would think that Adenan wanted to go to the bathroom for… those reasons.
"What's going on, Master Qui-Gon?" Adenan asked in an interested tone once he shut the bathroom door behind him, the bathroom was big and white
"I need you to tell Anakin, that only two of the most dangerous Traditionalists have been revived" Qui-Gon told Adenan calmly, but with a fearful undertone
"How many have been revived?" Adenan asked, now becoming fearful
"The two I just told, Adi Galia and…" Qui-Gon paused, in order for Adenan to swallow that information
"And who?" Adenan asked, feeling cold inside him
"You know that Jedi General who killed most of Anakin and Obi-Wan's troops on Umbara" Had Qui-Gon been alive, he would've paled
"Not really, I don't read much about Anakin" Adenan replied, shocked at the concept of that
"General Pong Krell… ask Dogma, one of Anakin's former troops" Qui-Gon instructed Adenan, who's eyes widened, the Padawan knew half of what Pong Krell did, and it wasn't good
"Where's this… Dogma?" Adenan asked, testing the name on his lips
"Republic Custody. But remember, do not release Dogma just yet. The moment they see you, you'll be in prison." Qui-Gon disappeared, and Adenan thought of these words, he knew prison to be the violent place it is, not that he saw the violent aspects of it… only words he had heard.
Adenan went out of the bathroom, but he was not longer in the mood to read. Bethrona came over to Adenan, concerned.
"What's wrong?" Bethrona asked, as said, concerned
"Master Qui-Gon just told me the identities of the Jedi who Mace Windu revived, one of them was Pong Krell" Adenan revealed to Bethrona, who gasped
"The Jedi who single-handedly killed half of both the 501st Legion and the 212th Attack Battalion?" Bethrona asked fearfully, Adenan nodded in 'yes', Bethrona told Adenan "We need to go to Anakin Skywalker right now.
"Yeah, I'll do that" Adenan answered, as both of them held each other and walked.
Master Chi, Faro Sheekano, Anakin Skywalker, Talimer Skywalker, Yoda and Fives were all surrounding a holotable, where they were communicating with Padawan Caleb Dume.
Caleb had pretended to forgive Depa Bilaba for the argument, so Caleb was basically a spy, in a lower class, but a spy nonetheless.
"Have you got the identities of the Jedi Revived?" Master Chi soothingly asked, that's when Adenan and Bethrona burst in, everyone looked at them
"What's wrong Adenan?" Anakin asked, in concern
"An informant just told me the identities and how many Jedi were revived by Mace Windu" Adenan told them all, in the hologram, Caleb was taken aback in shock
"This informant… who he is, may you tell us, Padawan Kornen?" Yoda asked, interested
"Master Qui-Gon Jinn" Adenan answered, without missing a beat, everyone except Caleb nodded knowing. Caleb was still recovering from the shock
"Ol' Qui-Gon. Always the informant, even in death" Talimer joked, everyone glared at the Jedi Bounty Hunter
"Who are they?" Master Chi asked, interested
"Two were revived, Adi Galia, and…" Adenan gulped, then told them the final name "Pong Krell"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Fives frowned angrily, the Clone remembered Pong Krell.
"Of all the Jedi!" Fives exclaimed angrily, putting his fist down on the edge of the holotable with very much force, breaking the silence
"Qui-Gon also told that we need to free Dogma when the time comes… whoever that guy is" Adenan revealed
"Dogma, 501st Soldier under me… quoting Captain Rex, 'He's wound up tight, but he's loyal'" Anakin said in a calm tone unusual for Anakin Skywalker
"Sneak into Coruscant we must" Yoda declared, tapping his gimer stick on the floor.
"Agreed" Anakin nodded while closing his eyes for a few seconds
Caleb reminded everyone of the call by saying "I can help, I mean, all the Jedi are on Chameta, right"
"Yes. Chameta is literally ruled by the Balancers" Bethrona piped up
"Ruled? How?" Anakin asked, confused
"My relationship to Adenan" Bethrona answered as Adenan looked away in embarrassment
"Embarrassed, you do not need to be, okay a relationship is" Yoda kindly reassured Adenan, who tried to look at everyone
"I think I like the Balancers now" Caleb mused, putting his hand on his chin
"Everyone not a Traditionalist does" Talimer told the Padawan
"Since neither the Balancers and Traditionalists have changed their ship codes, we'll be easily able to sneak in" Master Chi noted, smiling
"Yeah. But, I won't be in the fight" Adenan told them all
"Explain." Anakin requested a bit sharply
"I'll be freeing Dogma, since Pong Krell is now a Traditionalist, that makes his charges lifted in the Balancer's eyes" Adenan explained, using elements from Republic Law
"Good Point. And plus, Dogma's a good and loyal trooper, I suggest Adenan does this alone" Anakin told them all, smiling
"Alone. Hmm… Ready he is, to do a rescue mission alone, but recommend I do, that Bethrona comes with him" Yoda added
"What? No!" Adenan exclaimed, putting one of his hands forward and widening his eyes
"Why not?" Master Chi asked
"I don't want her to get hurt!" Adenan answered, looking at Bethrona, who was already leaving
"They asked us to work together, so if you want to free that Clone you'll need to come with me" Bethrona told Adenan, looking back a bit, and then starting to leave
"Politicians" Adenan mumbled angrily, as he followed Bethrona, as they both left
"Also happened to me with Padmé" Anakin muttered "Though Obi-Wan didn't understand and gave me a thorough scolding" Anakin laughed bitterly at the memory
"Anyway. I'll rendezvous with all at…" Caleb tried to think of a place
"The Jedi Temple, you'll fight with us when we try to take over" Anakin told the Padawan
"Uh oh. It's my Master, I'll need to turn off the call now" Caleb whispered, as the hologram faded
Everyone waited until the holotable shut down completely. Master Chi then walked up and turned off the holotable itself. They all stood beside the holotable to talk about plans.
"Padawan!" A sharp voice boomed in a place planets away, the Jedi Temple, a Padawan walking through the peaceful corridors turned back
"Yes Master?" A Padawan asked, just having turned off his comm. link after communicating with the Balancers, yes, this was Caleb Dume
"I sense movement in the Force, I believe the Balancers are making their strike after ceasefire. Ha. The Balancers think they are bringing peace, but they are not. Hypocrites" Depa laughed, Caleb resisted the urge to pull out his lightsaber and skewer the Traditionalist right in front of him into pieces
"Yes. They are." Caleb settled on instead, he was referring to the Balancers bring peace part, but everyone else thought it was the 'Hypocrites' part
"Padawan, get ready for the oncoming battle, we need to win" Depa instructed Caleb
"Yes Master" Caleb half-growled, when he joins the Balancers, he was sure that he'd get a new Master, or he might take Padawan Kornen's former place as the Masterless Padawan, he walked away, as a shadow cast on half his face, as he frowned and muttered "Wrong. It is the Balancers that is going to win this battle, and the entire Clone War itself", as he went to prepare all he could for the Balancers.
Adenan and Bethrona had quickly got on the latter's ship which the former had modified to have faster engines, laser cannon.
Now, Adenan was now replacing the engines and the hyperdrive. Adenan laid down a rectangular Hyperdrive Generator. He was replacing the .8 Hyperdrive with a .7 Hyperdrive. He already had replaced the Mach 10 engines with Mach 12 Engines.
"Everything updated?" Bethrona asked, impatient to go
"Yeah. This time, for real" Adenan answered as he dropped the Hyperdrive Generator where it was supposed to go
"Good, now let's go" Bethrona ordered Adenan
"I'm in charge here, you're only here because Yoda decided that." Adenan objected, as he went to the cockpit and sat on the main pilot chair, as Bethrona took Co-Pilot.
The comm. inside the ship, it was a modified Republic small volunteer ship, beeped, Adenan pressed the button, for a holographic Anakin Skywalker to appear, the lights in the ship dimmed for the hologram to look brighter
"Master" Adenan greeted, then turning his face serious, frowning slightly
"Adenan, we won't be going with you. We'll arrive 10 minutes after you go to Coruscant. Master Yoda advised you pick up Dogma before we arrive at Coruscant" Anakin told his Padawan
"Okie ma dokey" Adenan casually said the line he had always liked, as Anakin turned off the comm. call
Adenan and Bethrona blasted off, as they took a quick citizen hyperspace route to Coruscant. Anakin was standing on the dock where the two took off with Padmé, who was holding Luke and Leia.
"Y'know, if Luke becomes as courageous as Adenan, I'll be proud" Anakin told his wife
"Wouldn't Leia become a Jedi too?" Padmé asked, frowning
"I don't know… I mean, Luke has more midi-chlorians and is more attuned to the Force than Leia" What Anakin was telling was true. Luke had 14,750 midi-chlorians, and Leia had 14,400 midi-chlorians.
"If that happens, can I train Luke?" The married couple heard a voice behind them, they turned around to see Master Chi
"Sure Master Chi. And… who'll train Leia?" Anakin asked, a bit rhythmically
"Maybe Adenan would, who knows?" Master Chi asked back, rhetorically
"Let's just focus on getting the battle started, I hadn't had one for a while now" Anakin changed the subject, smiling his usual half-smile
"True that" Master Chi chuckled, then the three adults laughed, as they left to plan the battle that was oncoming.
That's what Anakin always wanted, simple moments with friends, a family to care for and a beautiful, loving wife. This was one of them. He just hoped that they are successful at retaking the Jedi Temple, a building that belonged to the Traditionalists for about 398 years.
So, to summarise, Caleb Dume, who is Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels, he's not an OC, is a spy for the Balancers, Anakin Skywalker and Panto Chi are planning an operation to retake the Temple and finally, Adenan and Bethrona are sent to rescue former Clone Trooper Dogma.
