We're Wizards, Not Warriors: What If
Volume 7:
Chapter 10: Rebels
Two months later….
Ahsoka was in a rather perilous predicament.
Well to explain, she was helping a rebel cell called the Ghost Crew.
This included;
Kana Jarrus, Jedi survivor.
Hera Syndulla, daughter of Cham Syndulla, Rebel pilot, and Kanan's girlfriend.
Chopper, Hera's old droid.
Zeb, a Lasat warrior and Kanan's loyal muscle.
Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian warrior.
And Ezra, a young man Kanan was training as a Jedi.
Kanan, Ezra and Zeb had gone to a planet as there were rumors of the Inquisitors retrieving something there.
That something was force sensitive children.
The trio were able to get the children, but that in turn led to the Inquisitors chasing after them.
And they were worse than ever!
Thankfully, Ahsoka arrived to help.
She had immeasurable skill.
She had to buy enough time for the trio to escape with the children.
Now she was fighting them off.
The two Inquisitors she was fighting were the Fifth Brother and the Seventh sister.
Two of the most dangerous Inquisitors.
Ahsoka then blocked the Seventh Sister's lightsaber.
When the Fifth Brother ran to stab Ahsoka…. He was force pushed away!
The Seventh Sister gave a confused look, while Ahsoka smirked.
"No one hurts my family", a voice said.
Who else jumped down, but Sam!
Sam was wielding his two lightsabers.
He stood beside his adopted mother.
"Looks I got here in time", Sam said with a grin on his face.
Ahsoka said, "indeed you did."
The two Inquisitors then recognized who Sam was.
The Fifth Brother growled, "Lord Vader's son…."
"We will be rewarded if we bring Lord Vader his son", the Seventh Sister said.
Sam said, "over your dead bodies."
The Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister activated their lightsabers.
Sam said, "our first battle together, isn't this cool Mom?"
Ahsoka chuckled and nodded.
The two Inquisitors ran at them.
Ahsoka and Sam stood their ground.
Sam and Ahsoka then began to duel the two Inquisitors.
Sam was fighting the Seventh Sister.
Ahsoka was fighting the Fifth Brother.
"Attempting to kidnap children from their parents is something I won't allow you Inquisitors to do", Sam said as he blocked the Seventh Sister's lightsaber with his yellow one.
The Seventh Sister growled, "if only Lord Vader had found you sooner!"
"Well I'm glad my father Obi Wan was able to protect me from that monster", Sam said as he glared at the Inquisitor.
Sam then sent them flying!
Sam smirked and said, "I always knew the Dark side was so weak…. It's why the Light is strong."
Ahsoka said, "well said, Sam."
"Thanks Mom", Sam said.
The son and mother soon stood side by side once again.
The Fifth Brother then ran at them.
Sam blocked his strike!
Ahsoka then grabbed the Fifth Brother's lightsaber and it deactivated.
She said, "you lack training and experience."
Sam and Ahsoka then force pushed the Fifth Brother and he was sent flying into a wall.
The Seventh Sister roared in rage as she ran at them!
Sam and Ahsoka used the force to freeze the Seventh Sister in place.
He said, "oh no ya don't!"
Sam pulled the Seventh Sister's lightsaber to him and he slashed it in half.
Sam said, "reckless."
Ahsoka did the same to the Fifth Brother's lightsaber and slashed it in half.
Now the Inquisitors were left without weapons.
Sam said, "this is the part where you should run away. And also, make sure Vader gets this message…. No matter how hard he tries…. I will never join him."
The Seventh Sister growled, "this isn't over….", as she and the Fifth Brother ran off.
Ahsoka hugged Sam as she said, "you did great on your first battle, sweety."
Sam smiled up at Ahsoka and said, "thanks mom."
Ahsoka smiled at her adopted son.
"Lets get back to the others", Ahsoka said.
Sam followed his adopted mom to where the others were….
We then see the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother talking to Darth Vader.
They were informing him of Ahsoka and Sam's involvement with the team of rebels.
And how Sam and Ahsoka easily beat them.
Vader was less than pleased.
The Seventh Sister then told Vader about Sam's message.
That part utterly enraged Vader.
His son wanted nothing to do with him.
And he was already on the path of the Jedi!
Vader then began to force choke the two Inquisitors.
He was growling like a mad dog.
"Lord…. Vader….", the Fifth brother choked out.
Vader stopped his choking and sent them hard onto the ground.
"Now listen carefully…. The next time you encounter my son…. You better not fail in capturing him….", Vader growled.
The Inquisitors nodded in fear.
"And as for Ahsoka Tano…. Do whatever it takes to either capture her…. Or kill her", Vader growled.
The Fifth Brother said, "yes, Lord Vader."
"Lord Vader…. From what we saw…. It seemed your son was very close to her and he even called her mom", the Seventh Sister said.
This angered Vader even more.
He would not allow this any further.
He would get his son back!
No matter what it took….
….
Meanwhile, back with our heroes….
Sam was with his adopted mother.
Sam got to meet the Ghost crew.
They were all very welcoming.
They told him about their encounter with Darth Vader when they were escaping Lothal.
Kanan and Ezra had been utterly terrified of him.
Sam felt bad for them.
He couldn't believe his real father had turned into such a monster
It was so depressing.
Sam then had excused himself to his room. He sat alone in his room.
Sam was confused about his real father…. He wasn't sure if he could be saved.
He wanted to try…. But it seems pointless now.
He also didn't know if he should tell his adopted mother the truth.
Her master…. Her friend…. Was Vader….
Sam couldn't bear to see his adopted mother with a broken heart.
He cared about her too much to put her through that.
Revan said, "you are feeling stressed little one…. How about you take a bath to ease your mind?"
Sam shrugged and said, "maybe later…. But I'd prefer a shower."
Revan then appeared beside Sam.
"I know you are feeling worried Sam…. About Vader", Revan said.
Sam said, "I know he's a monster, but…. But…."
Revan said, "you still see good in him."
Sam nodded and said, "Reva changed. Ventress changed. Hunter and Tala switched sides…. I…. I want to believe it could happen…. But…. He's hurt so many people…. He even tried to kill my father…. Right in front of me."
Revan hugged Sam close to him.
Revan said, "I know how you feel…. My wife turned to the dark side…. Most thought she was beyond saving…. But so had I…. I'd been a Sith Lord…. A tyrannical ruler…. But I was able to change…. And I was able to save Bastilla…. No-one is truly beyond saving unless they are truly wicked from the beginning."
Sam asked, "you think so uncle Revan?"
"I'm sure little one", Revan said.
Sam hugged Revan even more.
Sam said, "I love you, Uncle Revan."
Revan smiled under his mask and said, "I love you too, little one."
Sam smiled as Revan hugged him close.
Sam began to fall asleep in Revan's arms. Revan smiled as he held Sam.
"Like I said, you have the universal gift of being so adorable, Sam", Revan whispered.
Sam smiled as he fell asleep.
Revan held Sam for a while even as the boy was sleeping.
He felt so special at that moment.
….
Some time later….
We see Sam in the bathroom taking a shower.
They sighed with the warm water going down their body.
After a few moments, Sam stepped out of the shower.
He began to dry himself with a towel.
After drying himself, he began to put on his bra and panties.
After Sam became a teenager, he started to get a more feminine and curvaceous look.
A lot of people even mistook him for a
woman.
This didn't bother Sam, though he still did correct people on his gender.
It got a little annoying, but he managed.
Sam then puts on his clothes.
Sam went to see the others.
He saw his adopted mother there.
He smiled when he saw her.
"You are just in time Sam…. There's someone who I would like you to meet", Ahsoka said.
Sam asked, "who?"
"Come here", Ahsoka said to someone.
Walking in was an old man with worn out clone armor.
Sam asked, "Mom, who is that?"
Ahsoka said, "this is Captain Rex, an old friend of mine and your parents. And I mean all three."
Sam's eyes went wide in shock.
Now he did remember his father and adopted mother had told him stories about the clone army.
Sam said, "it's an honor, Sir."
Rex smiled and said, "no need to call me sir, kid, just call me Rex."
Sam gave an awkward chuckle.
"You look so much like your father", Rex said.
Sam smiled earnestly.
Ahsoka smiled at her adopted son.
It was a sweet moment between the three.
Then Ahsoka's comlink beeped.
She answered with a, "hello?"
"Ahsoka, we need you at the command center", Kanan said.
Ahsoka said, "on my way."
"Bring Rex with you as well", Kanan said.
"Understood", Ahsoka said.
Sam said, "looks like an important mission is being planned right Mom?"
Ahsoka nodded.
Sam and Rex followed Ahsoka to the command center….
….
We then see the Ghost ship landing on the planet of Agamar.
Sam was sat with Hunter, Ahsoka, One-One KeeKee and Bendy.
His father and Ventress were back on Tatooine, since someone had to keep an eye on Luke, his aunt and uncle.
The ramp to the ship lowered.
The group then walked out.
Sam asked Ezra, "what's the mission?"
"We need to find more weapons, and Rex says on this planet there is an abandoned Separatist base", Ezra said.
Sam said, "funny how, in the end, the Separatists were unintentionally in the same boat as the Republic; under the Empire's thumb."
The others nod at what Sam said.
Hunter said, "let's hope we can find what we need."
"Yep", One-One said.
"Just be careful, that base might still be full of traps", Ahsoka said.
Hunter asked, "why booby trap what you can't have anymore?"
Ahsoka shrugged her shoulders.
Sam said, "well, let's hope this base has what we need."
"Let's just be careful, who knows what's in there", Kanan said.
The others all nodded.
"There was a battle here during the clone wars", Kanan said as they walked to the base.
"This old transport's the perfect place to find weapons, ammo, maybe even some proton bombs", Rex said.
Sam and Ezra then came upon the head of a battle droid.
Ezra asked, "hey, was this a Separatist battle droid?"
"This place used to be crawling with 'em. We called 'em clankers", Rex said.
Ahsoka said, "I called 'em tinnies."
Hunter slapped a hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
Zeb asked, "Clankers. I like that. How many of these things do you think you blasted?"
"I don't know. Thousands. Probably tens of thousands. Never kept count like some of the boys", Rex said.
Sam said, "I feel bad for these things. They were programmed to fight in this war, and to be loyal to their masters. I think the only difference between them and clones was that clones were flesh and blood, and more free will."
"I too felt the same thing, Sam…. Near the end of the war", Ahsoka said.
Rex and Ahsoka glanced at one another.
The group then entered the base.
They all readied their weapons, just in case.
"Woah, look at all these weapons", Ezra said.
The group saw scores of blasters stockpiled in the base.
The group walked over to the where the weapons were.
Chopper, One-One and KeeKee followed when they heard a sound.
"Roger, Roger."
The three then followed the direction of the sound.
"Hey, careful, the droids used to protect their armories with ray shields", Rex said.
Ezra asked, "what's a ray shield?"
Then as he finished asking that, a ray shield appeared, trapping the group!
Kanan groaned, "THAT is a ray shield."
Hunter said, "this ain't good."
Sam asked, "hey, aren't those battle droids?"
"I thought they were all shut down", Rex said.
Ahsoka said, "they clearly ain't anymore."
"You have been captured by the Separatist Alliance", a battle droid said.
Hunter said, "um, news flash, nerf herder, the Separatists are caput!"
"Prepare to blast the Republic Invaders", another Battle droid said.
Sam said, "but we aren't Republic! We're Rebellion!"
"Belay that order", another battle droid said as he received a call on his comlink.
The battle droid begins to chatter over a comlink.
Sam asked, "what is going on?"
Bendy shrugged.
"We have new orders, incapacitate and capture", the battle droid said.
"Activating stunner", another droid said.
Hunter said, "wait! No! No! Nononononono!"
The group were then all shocked by the stunner and they fell to the ground out cold.
….
A few minutes later….
The group then woke up with their hands cuffed.
Hunter blushed as he woke up with Ahsoka's head on his shoulder.
"Let me go! I'm not who you think I am!"
Hunter and Ahsoka saw a tactical droid looking over Sam.
"At last we have caught the hero of the Republic: Anakin Skywalker", B1-268 said.
Sam groaned, "I told you; my name is Sam! Not Anakin! Last I checked, Anakin Skywalker was in his 20's during the clone wars. I'm fourteen!"
"Hey, leave the kid alone", Hunter said.
The droids looked towards Hunter.
"Quiet prisoner", a battle droid said.
Ahsoka groaned, "dumber than ever…."
"And their commander is a super tactical droid", Kanan said.
"You're right, he is", Rex said.
Ezra asked, "is that bad?"
"Really bad, that droid's extremely intelligent", Rex said.
Hunter said, "but I thought tactical droids constantly made mistakes?"
Rex said, "the old ones did. The newer models were much smarter."
"Near the end of the war, Separatist droids significantly outnumbered Republic units. By my calculations, our probability of being defeated was only 23.6%", B1-268 said.
Rex asked in confusion, "after Clone Order 66, the whole droid army was given a shutdown command. How are you even operating?"
"The Jedi betrayal ended the war for most of the galaxy. But here on Agamar, I assumed it was a Republic trick and prevented the shutdown command", B1-268 explained.
"Well it doesn't matter how it ended. The war is over", Rex said.
Ahsoka said, "spoiler alert: we all lost."
Hunter said, "big time."
Sam nodded in agreement.
"So let us go", Sam said.
B1-268 said, "I think not. For we've captured four Republic heroes. Caleb Dune, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and Anaki-"
Sam yelled, "I'M NOT ANAKIN! I'M HIS SON!"
This causes all the droids in the room to freeze in shock.
Sam took a minute to catch his breath.
"I have never seen Sam that mad before", Hunter whispered.
Ahsoka whispered, "me neither."
"I hope you get this through your thick CPU and understand what I said", Sam said clearly annoyed.
The tactical droid seemed to be thinking.
"Well let's hope what Sam said works", Ezra whispered.
The other's nodded.
The tactical droid scanned Sam.
Sam glanced around as he was scanned.
"This is not Anakin Skywalker", B1-268 said.
Sam said, "that's what I've been trying to tell you!"
Zeb asked, "so now what will you let us go?"
Everyone glanced at one another in worry.
"Please, you have to understand; the clone wars are over. Neither side won", Sam said.
B1-268 said, "please explain."
Sam said, "well…. You and the clones aren't too different…. Both of you were created to fight in a war. The Republic used the clones, who had free will up until Order 66. Then they became dedicated to their orders…. Very similar to how everyone describes the battle droids. But regardless of one being flesh and blood, and one being metal and oil, you're basically the same. Soldiers forced to fight. The Emperor used you both. Made you destroy each other. But with the Rebellion being against the Empire…. This could be a chance to make things right…. Be seen as equals…. Prove that you're more than mindless machines…. I'm offering you to join us."
The others were left awestruck at Sam's speech.
Sam asked, "so…. Sir…. What do you say?"
All eyes turned towards B1-268.
B1-268 was silent for a few moments.
Everyone awaited his answer.
"We…. Accept", B1-268 said.
Sam asked, "really?"
B1-268 nods his head.
Sam held out his hand.
B1-268 shook Sam's hand.
Sam said, "welcome to the Rebellion, Sir."
"Let them go", B1-268 said to the other droids.
The battle droids then released the others.
Ahsoka ran to Sam and hugged him.
Sam smiled as he hugged his adopted mother.
She said, "I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you mom", Sam said.
Ahsoka smiled at her adopted son.
Sam was truly Padme's son.
He was like a Jedi diplomat.
"This is so cool, we now have battle droids on our side", Ezra said.
Zeb said, "and it's all thanks to the little guy over here."
Sam smiled even more.
"I guess we better inform the others", Kanan said.
….
Sometime later….
Hera said, "so now we have an army of battle droids on our side."
"All thanks to Sam", Rex said.
Sam gave a proud smile.
"Well let's go inform the commanders", Hera said.
….
We then see Hunter in his room….
He was talking to himself in a mirror about how he was going to confess his feelings to a certain Togruta.
He said, "so, Ahsoka…. I was wondering if you maybe…. Wanted to…. Go on an activity…. Er, date…. With me…. Maybe? Gah! No! Stupid!"
Hunter slaps his hand against his head.
He wondered why this was so difficult.
"Come on Hunter, don't give up…. You got to tell Ahsoka…. That you…. Like her", Hunter said to himself.
Hunter hoped he had the confidence for this.
"I was wondering when you would say that Hunter."
Hunter went wide-eyed.
Hunter turned around and saw Ahsoka.
And she was wearing something…. Rather risque.
Ahsoka was wearing some sort of outfit.
It was a skimpy yet elegant blue outfit.
Hunter's face went as red as a tomato.
Ahsoka smiled shyly.
Ahsoka then closed the door and locked it.
She turned towards Hunter with a more confident and sultry smirk.
Hunter's heart was beating.
Ahsoka slowly sauntered over to Hunter.
She then placed her hands on Hunter's shoulders.
Hunter thought, 'holy crap. Is this really happening?!'
Ahsoka smirked as she read Hunter's mind.
She said, "it's happening."
Hunter blushed even more.
Ahsoka leaned in and kissed Hunter.
Hunter went wide eyed, but he closed his eyes and returned the kiss.
Their tongues started exploring each other's mouths.
Hunter felt his back hit the bed.
Ahsoka straddled Hunter as they kissed.
Hunter snuck his hand towards Ahsoka's butt.
Ahsoka giggled as she felt Hunter's hand on her booty.
The two then broke the kiss.
Hunter asked, "when did you fall in love with me?"
Ahsoka said, "after I heard how you were so protective of Sam when you first met."
Hunter blushed red.
Ahsoka giggled.
"I would love to see you without your clothes on", Ahsoka said seductively.
Hunter said, "the feeling is one hundred percent mutual..."
...
We see the two laying together.
Hunter rubbed Ahsoka's back.
Ahsoka giggled.
The two then slowly fell asleep.
A perfect way to end their day...
….
Meanwhile….
We then see Darth Vader.
He was in his room, growling under his breath.
He was looking over some footage which showed his son.
His son was way more well known now.
He saw how his son was able to defeat Stormtroopers and take out the Inquisitors.
He was unstoppable!
But only if his son was on the right side….
Vader believed his son should be on HIS side!
If his son could only see the power of the dark side.
If only he could convince his son!
"I am going to bring him to my side…. No matter what", Vader growled.
Vader slammed his fists down.
"You will not escape me forever….", Vader growled.
Vader was going to get Sam, by any means necessary.
Even if he had to kill anyone who got in his way….
….
Weeks later….
Vader was on his way to the planet known as Malachor.
And he was going for a specific reason.
He received word from his inquisitors that his son was on that planet.
With Ahsoka, Ezra and Kanan….
Vader would deal with them, when he got to the planet.
He was sure of that….
….
Vader is on top of his tie fighter as he jumps towards the temple, landing in front of Ezra.
Vader said to the Jedi, "you have unlocked the secret of the Temple. How did you accomplish this?"
"You're smart, figure it out", Ezra said as he activated his lightsaber.
Vader ignited his own saber.
Vader and Ezra dueled for a brief moment, but the young Jedi padawan was no match for the Sith lord.
Vader then slashes Ezra's lightsaber in half and force pushes him to the ground.
Ezra groaned as Vader stood above him, growling in rage.
"Why am I not surprised…. I should have expected you to do something this cruel."
Vader turned around and saw Ahsoka and Sam.
Vader tried to say, "son-"
Sam growled, "don't try that crap, nerf herder…."
Vader clenched his fists.
He was growing enraged.
Sam said as he glared at Vader, "I thought the message I gave the Inquisitors made it clear…. Or are you going to be a stubborn Sith who refuses to accept no for an answer?"
Vader was growling under his breath in rage.
Vader tried to walk forward, but Ahsoka stepped in front of her adopted son.
Ahsoka growled, "don't do it…. Skyguy…."
"That name means nothing to me", Vader growled.
Ahsoka said, "it's the name of my old friend."
Vader threw his hand forward in an attempt to force choke Ahsoka…. But Sam force pushed Vader away from his adopted mother.
"Don't you dare hurt my mother", Sam growled.
Vader growled, "mother?! She is not your mother! Your real mother-"
Sam yelled, "died from a broken heart!"
Vader froze when he heard this.
Sam said, "she died right after I was born. A broken heart…. Because the man she loved became…. You."
Vader was filled with shock and…. Sadness, upon hearing all this.
Sam said, "I want to believe that man is still in there…. But I'm sure it'll take a miracle to make that happen…."
Vader was silent.
As silent as a statue.
Ahsoka said, "have nothing to say…. Anakin?"
Vader growled when he heard his old name.
"Why do you hate your name so much…. It's the name of your true self", Sam said.
Vader stepped back as he kept growling.
"The name of my biological father…. Anakin Skywalker", Sam said.
Vader growled, "Anakin Skywalker is dead…."
Sam said, "I don't want to believe that."
"My son is right", Ahsoka said.
Vader growled, "he is not your son."
Sam had enough.
"Family isn't just those who are blood related! Family is also those who you are close to", Sam yelled.
Sam held Ahsoka's hand as he said this.
"Mom helped my father raise me and train me into the Jedi I always wanted to become... ", Sam said
Vader's anger began to rise once again.
He then activated his lightsaber.
Sam and Ahsoka reluctantly activated their sabers.
"I wish it didn't have to come to this", Ahsoka said.
Sam gave a solemn nod.
Vader ran towards Ahsoka.
The two began to furiously fight.
Ahsoka was able to block Vader's strikes while at the same time avoiding his attacks.
Sam quickly ran in to block one of Vader's strikes from hitting Ahsoka.
Sam glared daggers at Vader.
Vader attempts to shove Sam aside…. But Sam wouldn't budge!
"I won't let you hurt anyone close to me", Sam growled as he kicked Vader away.
Vader roared in rage!
Sam and Ahsoka quickly did a backflip to dodge Vader's attacks.
He was swinging wildly!
The three were now dueling again.
Even though Sam was a skillful Jedi, he still didn't have the strength to last this long against a sith lord.
He was afraid of what'd happen next.
Sam was then force pushed into a wall.
Ahsoka yelled, "Sam!"
Ahsoka tried to run over to Sam, but Vader quickly swung his lightsaber at her.
Ahsoka used her two lightsabers to block Vader's strike!
Vader growled, "this is your end…."
Vader then force pushed Ahsoka, causing her to fall down below.
Sam yelled, "mom!"
Vader jumped down to attack Ahsoka further.
Sam groaned in pain as he tried to stand up.
He groaned, "I've gotta…. Help…. Mom!"
Sam heard his mom struggling to fight off Vader.
Sam then suddenly had an idea!
His curse!
Sam whispered, "I can control that form now…. Maybe…."
Sam then closed his eyes.
He began to concentrate.
Sam then could feel himself transforming.
He grew larger as his horns emerged.
Sam then felt his hands into claws as his teeth grew sharp.
He opened his eyes as he growled, "I'm coming, mom!"
Sam then jumped down.
He roared in rage as he saw Vader trying to strike Ahsoka down!
Sam quickly grabbed his mother and pulled her to safety.
He snarled angrily at Vader.
Sam roared, "no one messes with my family!"
Sam jumped at Vader.
Vader quickly jumped out of the way.
Sam had slashed a chunk out of the ground.
"Stop this", Vader shouted.
Sam growled, "get away from us…."
Vader felt his anger returning.
Vader growled, "don't make me do this, Sam."
"I know you would do it anyway…. You don't care about anyone but yourself", Sam growled.
Vader growled, "that's not-"
San asked, "if it's not true, then why are you pointing a weapon at your son?!"
Vader saw he was pointing his weapon at his child.
His hand began to shake ever so slightly.
"And if you did care about me…. You wouldn't have tried to kill my father or Mom", Sam growled.
Deep down…. Vader knew Sam was right.
"Everything you have done…. All the innocent people you have killed, enslaved under the empire…. It breaks my heart that my biological father has become such a monster", Sam growled.
A tear went down Sam's cheek as Ahsoka held his shoulder.
Sam said, "if there is some good still in you somewhere…. Please set the Empire on the right path…. Even if only a little…."
Vader was frozen still after hearing all that.
Sam kept glaring right across from him.
Ahsoka took out an elixir for Sam.
She handed it to Sam as he slowly took it.
Sam turned back to normal.
"Sam! Ahsoka! We got the Sith Holocron", Ezra shouted.
Sam said, "let's get the heck outta here."
Ahsoka nods her head.
She turns to give one last glance at Vader
She simply said, "goodbye…."
Sam gave one last glance at Vader as well.
He didn't say anything as he and Ahsoka ran off.
Vader stood there deep in thought.
Sam and Ahsoka's words echoed in his mind.
For the first time in 14 years, he was starting to question himself…. Was he truly on the right side?
….
Meanwhile on Tatooine….
Obi Wan was sitting outside of his house.
He was staring up into the night sky.
He gave a peaceful sigh.
"My dear, we're getting a call from Ahsoka", Ventress called out.
Obi Wan got up and made his way inside.
He saw the hologram of Ahsoka Tano.
He smiled when he saw his old friend.
"Obi Wan, Ventress…. I am making this call to let you know that Sam and I are coming to Tatooine", Ahsoka said.
Ventress asked, "for what reason?"
"Sam deserves a rest from helping the rebels on these missions…. Since in our last mission…. We ran into Vader", Ahsoka said.
Obi Wan asked in worry, "is he alright?"
"Yes…. But he is tired from the fight we had with Vader…. Sam had transformed into his beast form to save me", Ahsoka said.
Ventress asked, "did he have any control?"
"Yes, he did have control, he spoke to Vader and told him…. The truth of what happened to Padme", Ahsoka said sadly.
Ventress and Obi Wan glanced at one another.
"I could sense Vader's emotions…. It almost felt like he felt regret…. For what he did", Ahsoka said.
Obi Wan said, "then perhaps there's hope…."
"That Anakin Skywalker is still in there", Ahsoka said.
Obi Wan held a hopeful look.
"Sam and I will arrive on Tatooine shortly", Ahsoka said.
Obi Wan said, "good to know. We'll see you soon."
Ahsoka nodded as the call ended.
Obi Wan asked, "should we have told her the news?"
Ventress said, "let's keep it a surprise."
Obi Wan nodded.
….
Ahsoka's ship lands near Obi Wan's house.
Sam, Ahsoka, Hunter, Bendy, KeeKee and One-One came out.
Sam saw his father and he ran over to hug him.
Obi Wan happily hugged his son.
"I missed you dad", Sam said.
Obi Wan said, "I missed you too, son."
Sam and Obi Wan then broke the hug.
Sam asked, "so, anything happen while I was gone?"
Obi Wan smiled at Ventress and said, "actually, my love and I have some good news for you all."
Ventress walked out, and the others noticed…. She had a baby bump!
Ahsoka stuttered, "is Ventress…. Is she…. She…?"
Ventress said, "has a bun in the oven, yes."
Sam asked, "I'm gonna have a little brother or sister?"
Obi Wan said, "indeed. We're gonna wait for the birth to find out what gender."
Sam squealed in joy as he hugged both his father and Ventress.
Ventress and Obi Wan smiled.
Their family was getting bigger.
Sam silently swore he'd protect the baby.
He would never let any harm come to his unborn sibling.
That was a promise.
….
1 year later….
We see a 15 year old Sam working on something in his room.
It was NED-B.
The old droid had various new parts, such as a left arm made of a battle droid's arm, the shoulder being made from part of an Astromech droid's head. His legs were replaced with Imperial protocol droid legs, and he had an antenna sticking out of his head.
Sam seemed to be implementing a voice box into the droid's chest.
"Once I add this final piece…. NED-B will be online once again", Sam said.
Sam slowly finished implementing the voice box.
He said, "now, to add in a certain program…."
Sam began to put in the codes for the program for NED-B.
It was a "Bodyguard" program.
"And…. Done", Sam said.
Sam then heard some cooing noises.
He smiled and turned towards the door.
He saw his father and in his arms was a baby.
A baby girl with her father's complexion and her mother's hair and eyes.
She had purple markings around her eyes, courtesy of her Nightsister DNA.
Her name was Satine Kenobi.
Named after an amazing woman.
Satine Kyrze.
The late Duchess of Mandalore, and Obi Wan's first love.
Sam had been told the full story of what happened to her.
It was a sad story.
"Satine wanted to see her big brother", Obi Wan said.
Satine giggled and held her arms out towards Sam.
Sam smiled and picked up his little sister.
Satine snuggled into Sam's chest
Sam smiled as he held Satine close.
Obi Wan asked, "so, is the droid done?"
"Yep, I just finished adding the bodyguard program", Sam said.
Obi Wan said, "that's good."
"Now it's time to turn on NED-B", Sam said.
Sam began to activate the droid.
Satine cooed in awe as she saw the droid begin to come online.
One eye blue. The other white.
Then NED-B stands up and says his very first words.
"Hello…. Friend."
Sam smiled and said, "good to see you again, NED-B."
NED-B said, "I…. Never thought I would wake up…."
"I never gave up hope that I could rebuild you and bring you back and I'm glad I never did…. Cause now you're here", Sam said.
NED-B said, "I would smile if I could."
Sam smiled and hugged NED-B.
Satine giggled as she reached her arms towards NED-B.
NED-B asked, "who is this?"
"This is Satine, my baby sister", Sam said.
NED-B titled his head and said, "they are tiny."
Satine giggled in joy.
NED-B said, "is this the one my bodyguard program has ordered me to protect?"
"Yes, NED-B", Sam said.
NED-B started scanning Satine with his white eye.
Satine cooed as she tilted her head.
NED-B said, "I have logged her in my memory as to be protected under my bodyguard program."
"Good", Sam said.
Obi Wan said, "at least she'll have protection, here on Tatooine."
"Yes, that way my baby sister will be safe", Sam said.
Satine smiled.
Sam and Obi Wan smiled at her.
She was truly loved.
Satine then fell asleep in Sam's arms.
Sam smiled and took her to her room.
Sam then placed Satine inside her crib.
He smiled down at her as she slept.
Sam then quietly left the room
"You are a great big brother Sam", Obi Wan said.
Sam said, "thanks dad."
Sam then hugged his father.
He said, "I love you, dad."
Obi Wan hugged Sam and said, "I love you too Son…. But I sense something is bothering you."
Sam nodded solemnly.
Obi Wan asked, "what is it?"
Sam said, "I'm afraid of losing you, dad."
Obi Wan held Sam's cheeks in his hands.
Obi Wan said, "even if I am to one day pass on, I will always be with you. No-one is ever really gone."
Sam asked, "you promise dad?"
"I promise", Obi Wan said softly.
Sam gave a solemn smile.
Sam hugged his father even more.
He was still afraid to lose him…. But what Obi Wan said made him feel a little better.
Obi Wan smiled as he held Sam close to him.
Father and son stayed like that for a few moments.
….
We then see Sam watching Satine as she plays with KeeKee and Bendy.
Satine loved Bendy like a brother.
KeeKee licked Satine's face.
Satine giggled.
Sam smiled at his baby sister.
She was too precious.
Bendy began to tickle Satine causing her to burst into giggles.
One-One and NED-B walked up next to Sam.
"Hello Master Sam", One-One said.
Sam said, "hey One-One. Hey NED-B."
NED-B stared at Satine. He took his job as her protector very seriously.
Whenever Sam, Obi Wan or Ventress were busy, he would look after her.
Her loyal bodyguard.
Satine giggled as Bendy kept tickling her.
She was so happy at that moment.
Sam and the droids kept watching Satine.
She kept playing with KeeKee and Bendy all day.
….
We then skip to a year later….
Sam was currently in town, getting some groceries.
He had Bendy and KeeKee with him.
Sam was looking over some Jogan fruit on sale.
Bendy then began to tug at Sam's pants.
Sam looked down at his adopted brother, who now sported a white scarf and black vest and asked, "what is it?"
"Look", Bendy said.
Sam saw something that disgusted him.
There was a sign that said "Slave Auction…."
Sam utterly despised slavery.
Sam then saw…. The slaves…. There were numerous races being sold off.
Some included a Wookie, a few Twi'leks, etc.
One slave seemed to catch Sam's eye.
A Zeltron and Devaronian mixed woman.
Sam could tell, since she had the pink skin of a Zeltron, but the long black horns of a Devaronian. She had white and black hair with a voluptuous figure.
Sam felt his heart skip a beat.
She was beautiful.
Bendy asked, "Sam?"
Sam was shaken out of his lovestruck shock.
Bendy asked, "you okay?"
Sam said, "er, yeah…. Just…. Got distracted seeing the auction."
KeeKee let out a snicker as she knew Sam was in love.
Sam glared at his cat.
"Look", Bendy said.
Sam saw the Zeltron and Devaronian mixed woman looking all sad and scared.
Sam said, "she looks so scared…. She needs help…."
"Let's help", Bendy said as he grabbed Sam's hand.
Sam asked, "how?"
Bendy grinned as he had a plan….
The plan; wait for a scumbag to purchase the woman and then jump him.
Sam then pats Bendy's head for thinking of such a plan.
They climbed atop a building in order to wait for someone to buy the girl.
They had to wait a total of 6 minutes.
Some slimy, fat Zabrak had bought her.
"Get ready", Sam whispered.
Bendy and KeeKee nodded.
"On…. 1…. 2…. 3!"
The three of them jumped down.
The fat Zabrak shrieked, "what the kriff!?"
Sam growled, "let the girl go."
The Fat Zabrak said, "and what if I don't?"
Sam ignited his saber and sliced a nearby gourd.
"That's what will happen to you", Sam growled.
The Zabrak quickly ran off in fear.
Sam walked towards the girl.
She cowered in fear.
"It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you", Sam said softly.
The woman looked at Sam, worried.
Sam placed his saber on the ground and said, "see? Friends."
Sam walked towards the woman and helped remove her collar and cuffs.
Sam said, "you're free now."
The woman was filled with shock and surprise.
Sam said, "that man won't hurt you again."
The woman stuttered, "y-you…. P-promise?"
Sam nodded and said, "I promise."
The woman had tears in her eyes.
She suddenly hugged Sam.
Sam froze at the hug he received.
Bendy and KeeKee snickered.
Sam glared at the two.
Sam hugged the woman to comfort her.
Sam asked as he kept hugging the woman, "can you tell me your name?"
The girl said, "V-Verosika…."
"Verosika. Nice name", Sam said.
Verosika gave a small smile.
"Come on, I'll take you to my home, that way you will be safe", Sam said.
Verosika asked, "why? Why are you helping me?"
Sam held Verosika's shoulders as he told her why he helped her.
He said, "because…. When I saw you…. All scared…. I couldn't bear to see you hurt."
Verosika had tears in her eyes.
Never had someone done something like this for her.
Sam hugged Verosika.
She cried in joy and relief as she hugged back.
"It's okay", Sam said.
Verosika sniffled lightly.
Sam rubbed Verosika's back.
Verosika couldn't control herself and let out a small moan.
Sam went wide-eyed.
Bendy covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
Sam glared at Bendy.
Bendy just shrugged.
"Let's just go home", Sam said.
Bendy and KeeKee nodded.
The trio then began to lead Verosika to her new home.
He hoped they'd have new clothes for Verosika at home.
….
Obi Wan and Ventress were surprised when they saw Verosika.
The poor girl was still shaken up by what happened to her.
And thankfully, there were clothes for Verosika.
They had given her a small black and white dress.
Ventress had made Verosika some food for her and gave her water.
Verosika was beyond grateful.
Sam sat next to Verosika as she told her story.
Her village had been raided by slavers one night, sending everyone who was captured to various slave auctions.
Sam hugged Verosika as he felt so bad for her.
She really appreciated the hug.
Obi Wan and Ventress told Verosika she could stay as long as she wanted.
Verosika was very thankful for their hospitality.
Sam then led Verosika to her room.
It was a guest room Obi Wan had built.
Verosika walked inside her new room and she sat down on the bed.
She gave another small smile.
"How do you feel?"
Verosika looked up to see Sam standing in the doorway.
She said, "good…. I feel good…."
"Well if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me or my dad or Ventress", Sam said.
Verosika nodded with a small blush.
Sam then left Verosika in her room.
She smiled wider as she sat there.
Verosika never thought she would be free.
Much less with people like Sam and his family.
They were the kindest people she has ever seen.
They took her in, no questions asked.
This was the happiest day of Verosika's life.
She wondered how she could repay Sam for saving her?
Then an idea came to Verosika's mind.
She then gave a certain smile.
She just would have to wait until it was nighttime.
….
Later that night….
Sam was in his bed.
He was snoring lightly.
Then the door to his room slowly opened.
A voluptuous figure slinked into the room, quietly closing the door behind them.
Sam was snoring as he moved in his sleep.
He was unaware of the figure slowly crawling onto his bed.
Sam was still snoring as he was in a deep sleep.
But as the figure straddled him, he began to wake up.
"Huh? What….", Sam muttered as he slowly woke up.
Sam went wide-eyed and wide awake when he saw Verosika straddling him, butt naked.
Sam said in shock, "Verosika!?"
Verosika whispered, "shhh! We don't wanna wake anyone up."
Sam said quietly, "but what are you doing?"
Verosika said, "I…. I wanted to thank you for saving me…."
Sam was filled with surprise.
He thought, 'does she wanna…?'
Sam asked, "so you want to…. You know?"
Verosika nodded and said, "please…. Make love to me…."
Sam's face was red as a tomato.
Verosika looked down.
Would he say no?
Sam asked, "are you sure you want this?"
Verosika said, "more than anything…. But if you don't want it…."
Sam then cupped Verosika's cheek.
The two gazed into each other's eyes.
Sam then kissed Verosika.
Her eyes widened for a moment, but then fluttered closed as she melted into the kiss.
The two kissed for a few moments.
Sam and Verosika then broke the kiss.
They were both smiling from ear to ear before they began to make love...
...
"That was soooooo gooooood", Sam breathed out.
Verosika could only nod breathlessly.
Verosika snuggled against Sam's chest.
Sam held her close, rubbing her back.
"I love you Sam", Verosika said.
Sam was a little shocked at first, but said with a smile, "I love you too, Verosika."
Verosika snuggled closer to Sam.
Sam pulled the covers over them.
The two then fell asleep.
….
The next morning….
Sam and Verosika were still asleep.
Verosika was still snuggled in Sam's chest.
Sam held Verosika close as he kept his arms wrapped around her.
She smiled as she slept.
Then there was knocking on the door which caused the two to wake up.
They had shocked looks.
"Sam, are you up? Breakfast is almost ready", Obi Wan asked.
Sam said, "er, be there in a minute!"
"And make sure you drink your elixir", Obi Wan said.
Sam said, "yes dad."
Verosika thought, 'Elixir?'
Sam then made sure once his father had walked away, he and Verosika began to change back into their clothes.
Sam couldn't stop himself from staring at Verosika's ass as she got dressed.
Verosika asked, "what did your father mean by you needing to take an Elixir?"
Sam said, "well…. When I was little, some jerk gave me this curse. I have to take an Elixir every so often to keep myself from taking on a monstrous form."
Verosika had a shocked look on her face.
Sam said, "sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"It's okay Sam", Verosika said.
Sam gave a grateful smile.
Verosika asked, "should we tell your father and the others about…. You know?"
"Let's wait a little before we tell them", Sam said.
Verosika nodded.
Verosika and Sam then begin to head towards the kitchen.
Ventress was preparing breakfast.
KeeKee and Bendy were eating their food.
Satine was playing with NED-B.
Obi Wan said, "good morning, you two."
"Good morning dad", Sam said as he went over to a cabinet and took out an Elixir.
He gulped the Elixir down as Verosika sat with the others.
Ventress then began to serve everyone breakfast.
Ventress asked, "so, how did you sleep, Verosika?"
"Oh, I slept amazing last night…. It was the first time I was able to sleep well in a long time", Verosika said.
Obi Wan said, "that's good to know. What about you Sam? Did you sleep well?"
Revan popped up and started snickering.
Sam tried to keep himself from glaring at Revan.
Sam said, "I slept just fine."
The family then started to eat their breakfast.
It was delicious.
….
Sometime later….
We then see Sam and Verosika in the former's room.
Sam was asking, "multiple what?"
"Multiple mates. My kind takes on multiple mates", Verosika said.
Sam said, "so you're suggesting…. We have multiple partners?"
"That is if we can find any more handsome or beautiful partners", Verosika said
Sam smirked and said, "you're lucky I'm bi-sexual."
Verosika smiled. She then hugged Sam.
Sam returned the hug.
He was so happy at that moment.
Little did he and Verosika know that in the future, things would get VERY interesting….
….
We then see a 17 year old Sam in his room speaking with Revan.
Discussing what exactly?
Well, Revan was talking about his past and what made him the most powerful and special Jedi in history.
Revan said, "I'm honestly glad I lost my memory after becoming a Sith. It helped me become a much better Jedi in the long run."
Sam asked, "how powerful were you Uncle Revan?"
Revan said, "I made Palpatine look like an untrained padawan."
Sam let out a chuckle.
"I could also use magic and could summon a sword", Revan said.
Sam said, "awesome. What could the sword do, Uncle Revan?"
Revan said, "what couldn't it do!"
Sam titled his head in confusion.
Revan said, "sorry, let me elaborate…."
Sam had an awed look on his face as Revan told him everything the sword could do.
First off: it was pretty much indestructible.
The sword could do magic.
Namely firing magical blasts from it.
The sword could also summon magical ropes which can tie up enemies.
And the blade was deadlier than any lightsaber.
The sword also had the power to restore lands.
Sam wondered if he could restore planets like Mandalore using this sword.
But Revan had said the sword was made of both the Force and Magic and only he could summon it.
Sam was a little disheartened by that.
"But who knows maybe one day you can learn how to summon the sword", Revan said.
Sam was a little confused by this statement.
But he knew Revan was trying to cheer him up and he smiled a little.
Revan patted Sam's head.
He said, "you may be much older, you'll always be my little buddy."
Sam giggled in joy and hugged Revan.
Revan smiled as he hugged back.
"I love you so much Uncle Revan", Sam said.
Reban said, "I love you too, buddy."
Sam smiled as he kept hugging Revan.
It was always a highlight of his day….
….
Later that night….
Obi Wan was sitting by a campfire.
He then closed his eyes as he sensed something.
A very familiar presence.
Obi Wan then opened his eyes.
He saw who was in front of him.
Obi Wan glared at the figure as he knew who it was.
It was Darth Maul.
Obi Wan then slowly stands up.
Maul glared hatefully at Obi Wan.
"I have finally found you after so many years….", Maul growled.
Obi Wan sighed in apprehension.
"Look what has become of you. A rat in the desert", Maul said as he smirked.
Obi Wan stood and said, "look what I have risen above…."
Maul said, "I've come to kill you. But…. Perhaps it's worse to leave you here. Festering in your squalor…."
The two began to circle each other around the fire.
"If you define yourself by your power to take life, a desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing", Obi Wan said.
Maul growled as he ignited his saber, dousing the fire with a slash of sand as he growled, "and what do you have?!"
Obi Wan simply said, "a family."
Maul growled, "but why take them to this place? Not simply to hide…. Oh! You have a purpose here…. Perhaps you are…. Protecting something?"
Obi Wan grew a protective look.
"No…. Protecting…. Someone", Maul growled.
Obi Wan ignited his saber in an instant.
Maul and Obi Wan both take a battle stance.
Obi Wan had a much more relaxed aura as Maul was seething.
Maul then jumped towards Obi Wan.
Only a few strikes of their sabers occurred before Obi Wan sliced Maul through his stomach.
Maul let out a gasp as he fell to the ground.
Obi Wan gently held the dying Sith, his head in his lap.
Maul then began to speak.
He asked, "tell me…. Is he the chosen one…?"
"He is", Obi Wan said.
Maul's dying words were, "he will…. Avenge us…."
Maul then went limp in Obi-Wan's arms.
Obi Wan closed Maul's eyes in respect.
Obi Wan then began to make Maul's grave. It was the least he could do for the fallen warrior.
We then see Obi Wan looking over Maul's grave.
He held a solemn look.
It was the least Obi Wan could do for Maul.
The Sith stuck by his convictions until the bitter end.
"May you find peace…. In the force", Obi-Wan said quietly as he began to head back home.
Maul's grave was marked with his walking stick.
….
The next morning….
Sam and Verosika once again woke up in each other's arms.
The two smiled at each other.
You could see the love in their eyes.
Sam had told his family about his and Verosika's relationship.
They were thankfully very supportive of them.
Sam then gave Verosika a quick kiss on the lips.
Verosika giggled.
Sam smiled and said, "I love you so much Verosika."
Verosika smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. So much."
Sam held Verosika close.
They felt so peaceful at that moment.
….
Meanwhile….
We see Obi Wan on his Eopie. He was headed out somewhere.
Obi Wan then stopped Eopie and he watched in the near distance a familiar house.
The Lars' homestead.
"Luke! Luke!"
Obi Wan caught sight of the older farmboy.
He saw Luke running back to his home.
He was much older now.
Obi Wan let out a smile.
The boy was growing up so fast.
Obi Wan then begins to head back to his home.
He was eager to see his family.
….
