A/N: Thank you for all the kind words my friends.
To cruzscifers1: Yeah I love that they expanded his character development in Tales of the Jedi. Underrated character imo.
To Critical2003: It's not my plan to abandon this anytime soon but I have started a new job so it might take me a while to write new chapters.
To George Christian810: Well I guess he does sound like Anakin right now but the differences will be shown soon enough, don't worry. About the Jedi, maybe he wills stay within maybe he will not, I already chose which way he will go but you will just have to wait. :)
Reviews are welcomed with open arms. Any criticism or questions will receive answers. Suggestions are also taken into consideration. :)
Showing old geezers how it's done: Chapter 2
Chapter Start
May 1982 / 43 BBY, Hyperspace, T-6 Shuttle JD-22:
Dooku and Harry were facing eachother as they sat on the Jedi shuttle which was currently in hyperspace. Dooku was currently explaining the basics of the force to Harry.
"The force is within all of us, Harry. It binds every single living organism, or atleast every organism we have encountered so far. The midichlorians, who are microscopic organisms and in everyone's cells, are responsible for this. The more midichlorians you have inside your body per cell, the stronger the connection to the force is which gives some of us the potential to use the force on varying levels, again depending on the amount of midichlorians per cell."
"Is that why we did a blood test, Master?" Harry asked Dooku.
"That is indeed the case, Harry. Now the results should be ready by now... Let's see" Dooku said before seeing the number on the datapad and freezing in astonishment.
"What is it, Master?" his (hopefully) future padawan said behind Dooku who was still gazing at the number on the datapad. 16900 midichlorians per cell, almost as many as Grandmaster Yoda had, there was no way now he would let somebody else train Harry.
Somewhere else in a place outside the space-time continuum, Rob frowned deeply in thought as he realised how much force potential he had actually given Harry, significantly more than they had agreed on. 'Oh well' he thought 'then he will just cause a bigger splash than I had anticipated, nothing wrong with that'.
"Harry, I can safely say that should you apply yourself you will make it very far in the Order" Dooku said before turning around to face Harry and giving him a reassuring smile.
"Oh okay" the boy said in what Dooku perceived to be a hopeful tone. He then started to tell Harry about the history of the Order and it's intertwined history with the Galactic Republic. Harry couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed with all the information. How had hyperspace technology been around this long and they hadn't even found a way to leave the galactic barrier? Something was wrong there.
**Scene Break**
May 1982 / 43 BBY, Kessel System, T-6 Shuttle JD-22:
The sleek Jedi shuttle glided through the expanse of space, its destination set on the Kessel System. Onboard, Dooku and Harry had embarked on a solemn detour to deliver the truth to Senator Wumms Krekas. As the ship smoothly entered the system, Dooku's gaze remained steady, his thoughts focused on the task at hand.
Upon landing at the heart of the Kessel System, Dooku disembarked from the shuttle. Leaving Harry behind was a necessary action as Harry should not be associated with the Jedi until he was one. The grandeur of the senatorial headquarters loomed before them, a testament to the power and influence of the Krekas family. Dooku's robes billowed lightly in the breeze as he made his way through the ornate corridors, guided by the sense of duty that had brought him here.
In a lavishly decorated chamber, Senator Wumms Krekas awaited Dooku's arrival. His expression was one of anticipation mixed with guarded curiosity. He entered and the senator's eyes settled on them, his gaze narrowing.
"Jedi Master Dooku," Senator Krekas greeted, his voice filled with polite formality. "You have returned. What news do you bring? Have you found my son?"
Dooku's gaze met the senator's, his voice calm and unwavering. "Senator Krekas, I regret to inform you that I have uncovered unsettling truths regarding the disappearance of your son, Areshk."
The senator's brows furrowed, a flicker of concern crossing his features. "What do you mean, Master Jedi?"
Dooku's gaze held a mixture of sympathy and solemnity. "Your son, along with two others, was involved in the tragic death of a young woman named Meli. They were in turn killed by a skilled bounty hunter."
Senator Krekas's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression quickly morphing into anger. "This is preposterous! My son is not a criminal! How dare you speak to me like that, Jedi?"
Dooku's voice remained measured, his words holding a weight of truth. "Senator, regardless of your beliefs, the evidence is irrefutable. I understand this is a difficult revelation, but my duty is to bring the truth to light."
The senator's face turned a deep shade of red as his fury grew before a small smirk grew on his face "But you have no evidence, I can see it in your eyes. I expect you to hunt down this bounty hunter and bring them to justice!"
Dooku's gaze remained steady, his voice carrying an air of resolution. "I will not undertake that task, Senator. My mission was to uncover the truth, and that I have done. I do regret that it comes with such negative news."
Senator Krekas's fists clenched at his sides, his anger palpable. "You will do as you're told, Jedi, or I will report this to the Senate and ensure that justice is served and that you will be punished!"
Dooku's expression remained composed, his voice even as he addressed the senator's fury. "You have every right to feel angry and to bring your concerns to the body you are part of, Senator, however, it does not alter the fact that I have fulfilled my mission. My condolences for the loss of your son but my business with you ends here."
The senator's glare held a mix of frustration and indignation, his voice sharp as he responded. "Very well, Jedi. Leave my presence."
Dooku inclined his head respectfully. "Farewell, Senator Krekas."
Dooku turned to leave, the atmosphere was charged with tension, emotions running high. The grand chamber's doors closed behind them, leaving the echo of their conversation lingering in the air. Dooku was glad to have Harry as company again. There was something about the boy that made him calmer and happier but he couldn't figure out what it was.
**Scene Break**
May 1982 / 43 BBY, Hyperspace, T-6 Shuttle JD-22:
"This is a lightsaber, Harry. It is the only weapon a Jedi will ever use in normal circumstances. But it is more than just a weapon, it is one's partner and to lose it is as if you had lost a good friend. A Jedi usually builds his first lightsaber shortly before they finish the youngling stage at which point they are chosen by a master or knight as their padawan." Dooku told the young boy who was intently watching the floating hilt of Dooku's lightsaber.
He could make out a faint 'cool' from the boy's lips and shook his head mentally. He had forgotten that Jedi younglings often held a fascination with lightsabers which lasted until around the time they would build their own.
Dooku immersed himself in the force and deconstructed his lightsaber until the different parts were flowing seperately in the air between them.
"The heart of a lightsaber is it's crystal. The most powerful and sought-after gems are rare kyber crystals. However, the design of a lightsaber is so flexible that practically any kind of crystal can be used."
Using the force Dooku reconstructed his lightsaber and then ignited it, showing off the blue blade to Harry who was clearly enraptured by the gentle glow of the blade.
"As you can see, the colour of my lightsaber is blue, stemming from the blue kyber crystal. The colour of a lightsaber signals the chosen class of a Jedi. Blue and green are the most common lightsaber colours in the Order with blue belonging to Jedi Guardians who often use the force in a more physical manner and are often sent on missions where they have to protect others. Green belongs to Jedi Consulars who focus on figuring out the mysteries of the force and who prefer to use diplomacy to end a fight. Or that was the tradition atleast, the distinction has significantly decreased over the past few centuries." Dooku said, his baritone voice halling through the room.
"What about other colours?" asked Harry and Dooku could feel that Harry wouldn't quite accept 'they're not important' for an answer.
"Purple and orange kyber crystals have become increasingly rare and I don't know any Jedi using an orange kyber crystal while Master Windu is most likely the only Jedi of note to use a purple one. Yellow is only used for the temple guards nowadays but traditionally a Jedi Sentinel would choose a yellow kyber crystal as the heart of their lightsaber. Jedi Sentinels were Jedi who focused on scholarly pursuits and their combat ability, they were often used to hunt down individuals that were too dangerous for regular law enforcement like the more prominent bounty hunters."
"What happened to them, Master?"
"The long peace of the last one thousand years has made Jedi Sentinels somewhat redundant. Additionally, in opposition to how it was done 500 years ago where kyber crystals came from multiple sources, all Jedi now travel to Ilum to get their kyber crystals and the caves on Ilum contain only blue and green kyber crystals."
"Ohh okay.. what about Black, White and Red though?"
"... do you not think we ought to get to the next topic, Harry?"
Harry shook his head and Dooku sighed, thinking on how to word his answer.
"Hmmm if you insist.. I do not think I have ever heard of a black kyber crystal occuring naturally but hundreds of years ago there was once a black lightsaber built by Tarre Viszla who was the first Mandalorian ever to join the Order. He later left the Order to unify his people. His lightsaber, which over time became known as the darksaber, has become a legendary weapon for the Mandalorians and whoever posesses the darksaber automatically has legitimate claim to become the leader of the Mandalorians. Before you ask, no the Mandalorians will not follow you blindly if you have the darksaber, you must earn their loyalty either through good leadership or by defeating the previous leader in combat."
"Ohhhh cool, do you know where the darksaber is, Master? And what about white and red lightsabers?"
"The darksaber hasn't been sighted in centuries though I suspect that a member of a house belonging to the pacifist New Mandalorians currently posesses it. About white and red lightsabers: Both colours are pretty rare to find in caves of kyber crystals, red kyber crystals even more so than white ones. Red lightsabers used to be used by the Sith, who are the Jedi's eternal enemy, and are still sometimes used by Dark Jedi though those are often arrested pretty quickly. White lightsabers are used by so called Grey Jedi, though the term Rogue Jedi is probably more accurate, who while behaving basically like Jedi do not agree with the Council in several areas. Red kyber crystals can be synthesized or created by corrupting a blue one for example. White kyper crystals are almost always created by purging a red kyber crystals of it's darkside influence."
"Ohh. Sooo... what are Sith and Dark Jedi?"
"Both the Sith and the Dark Jedi are force users who have fallen to the Dark Side with the difference being that Dark Jedi were almost always Jedi for some time before they fell and that they usually act alone. Sith on the other hand might have been Jedi at some point in their lives who fell to the dark side at some point during their training, and the first Sith were when they split from the Order, but most of them were taken from their families and raised as Sith. The Sith are a difficult subject for the Jedi Order as until a thousand years ago they had been the Order's seemingly immortal enemy causing chaos and destruction wherever they went"
"Wow.." Harry exclaimed and Dooku couldn't shake the feeling that Hary's exclamation wasn't entirely genuine.
"So where are they now?" Harry asked and Dooku had to resist the urge to harrumph at how curious the boy was.
"The Sith are gone... I can see you aren't satisfied with that answer, very well. Around a thousand years one of the many wars against the Sith ended with the Sith Empire collapsing largely because of the Republic assault on their worlds but mainly due to infighting. Only a few escaped the slaughter that followed but those were rounded up in the following years and imprisoned for their crimes against the galaxy."
**Scene Break**
June 1982 / 43 BBY, Kashyyyk System, T-6 Shuttle JD-22:
Dooku was deeply meditating when he suddenly noticed that the alarms were blaring. Looking outside he was able to see why, the shuttle had suddenly been pulled out of hyperspace. Just to be safe he gently shook Harry's shoulder who rubbed his eyes as he woke up from a very unpleasant dream about his servitude to the Dursleys and the Hunters.
"What is it, Master? Are we on Coruscant?" muttered the sleepy boy.
"Unfortunately not yet, no. There seems to be a defect with the hyperdrive" Dooku stated calmly "Do no worry though, Harry. We can count ourselves lucky that we're not far from Kashyyyk, you can see the planet over Wookies are a intimidating but ultimately friendly race, we should be able to get help from them"
Dooku turned off the auto pilot and tool control of the helm, steering the shuttle towards the planet. Both Dooku and Harry frowned as they approached the planet however, through the force they could feel distress, anger and dismay on one hand and bloodlust, euphoria and determination radiating from the surface.
"What.. what is going on Master? What is happening down there?" asked Harry.
"You mean to tell me you feel it through the force aswell?" Dooku asked and Harry nodded mutely, leaving Dooku astonished that Harry was already so in tune with the force that he was able to feel what was going on and know where these feelings were coming from. Did he have a prodigy on his hands?
"From what the sensors tell me, there is currently a battle going on in the atmosphere. If I had to guess the Trandoshans are raiding the Wookie villages again."
"That's horrible.. Wait.. what do you mean with again?" Harry inquired with wide eyes.
Dooku sighed in exasperation. Of course he had found a young boy that had the curiousity of a child and the intelligence of someone far older.
"The Trandoshans have been regularly raiding Kashyyyk for decades now and are always able to overwhelm the small Republic feet stationed in the orbit as you can see from the debries over there" Dooku said pointing at the space to the right side of the shuttle. Looking into said direction, Harry could see several ships floating aimlessly through space, slowly being pulled into Kashyyyk by the planet's gravity field.
"But then why don't they send more ships?"
"It's simple. Wookies are unfortunately very valuable on the slave market due to their size and strength. Enough Senators profit from the slave trade and are thus unwilling to help the Wookies defend themselves properly. Sadly what you see here is common occurence in anything beyond the Expansion Region. There is no Republic military and the Republic Judicial Forces are overstretched while systems in the outer regions are... well discouraged from building military forces themselves if they don't bribe enough senators of course."
Harry's eyes were wide in shock. He knew from the movies that the Republic must have had it's issues but this... this was almost worse than Magical Britain under the leadership of Cornelius Fudge. Harry's eyes widened even more when Dooku brought the shuttle into a low orbit.
"But.. Master, aren't we going to help the Wookies?" he asked desperately, his saving people syndrom kicking in once again.
"We are merely here to get our shutle repaired, Harry, not start an interstellar war. I do not have the mission to attack the Trandoshans and the Senate would quickly demand the Order to provide a reason for our interference in local business" Dooku stated tiredly the formular that he had been told for decades at this point.
"But you are a Jedi, Master.. aren't Jedi supposed to protect those in need? Please... we cannot just ignore their cries for help"
Dooku didn't know what to say at the genuine desperation of Harry to help the Wookies... but then he remembered that he too felt that way and in that moment he felt the last remains of loyalty to the Galactic Senate whither away. His gaze sharpened, his voice full of determination.
"You are right, Harry, thank you for reminding me of what needs to be done" Dooku stated and began steering the shuttle down into the atmosphere towards the planet's surface. Letting the force guide him Dooku flew the shuttle to the location of the battle. The Trandoshan attackers soon spotted the Jedi Shuttle and decided to shoot it down before the Jedi inside could cause them any trouble.
"Get your seatbelt on, Harry, this is going to get rough" he told Harry while doing the same. Dooku immersed himself into the force further and blended out all outside influences, flying through an increasing number of laser bolts trying to hit them. Eventually though he wasn't able to get through the volleys of laser anymore and the shuttle's engine were hit from behind. Smoke began filling the cockpit and the two males could feel a fire igniting somewhere behind them.
Dooku wasted no time and pressed the button that would have caused the seats to be ejected from the rest of the shuttle and he cursed silently when the button malfunctioned which Harry noticed.
"What is going on, Master?"
"Prepare for a crash landing, Harry, we are going down" Dooku said, trying to get the shuttle's nose upwards as they plummeted down. Unfortunately, only seconds later the shuttle's side was hit multiple times which caused it to rip apart partially. Dooku looked outside and noted with resignation that they would never be able to survive the crash at this speed and angle.
"I am sorry for failing you, young Harry" he apologised to the panicking boy and solemnly closed his eyes, accepting his incoming death. Harry however wasn't done. Looking to the side he forced a specific spot on the ground into his memory and grabbed his bag and Dooku, begging mother magic to let him apparate out of the shuttle with his potential mentor while focusing on the spot he wanted to apparate to. Eventually his magic answered Harry's desperate calls and mere seconds before the burning shuttle crashed into the ground, Dooku and Harry disappeared from the cockpit with a loud banging sound.
**Scene Break**
The desperate calls of a child to the force to let him and his mentor survive were felt by the strongest force users all over the galaxy, meaning Yoda and several other Council Members on Coruscant, Hego Damask on Muunilinst, Sheev Palpatine on Naboo and Mother Daka on Dathomir. Mother Daka's reaction was merely amusement while both the Jedi and Sith speculated where and from whom these desperate calls could have been coming from. Upon an emergency meeting of the Jedi High Council, it was correctly determined that these feelings were tied to Master Dooku.
**Scene Break**
June 1982 / 43 BBY, Muunilinst:
Hego Damask, known in the shadows as Darth Plagueis, sat within the dimly lit sanctum of his private quarters. His connection to the dark side of the Force was profound, and it was through this power that he had felt something significant happening through the force. He chose to contact his apprentice Sheev Palpatine, who went by the Sith name of Darth Sidious.
As he initiated the communication, the holo-transmitter hummed to life, projecting an image of Sidious, shrouded in darkness, his eyes gleaming with an inner fire.
"Greetings, my apprentice," Plagueis intoned with his deep, resonant voice.
Sidious bowed slightly. "Master."
Plagueis gestured for Sidious to proceed. "I have sensed a disturbance in the Force, my apprentice. A ripple that has disrupted the currents of destiny and may force us to adapt our plans. Have you felt it as well?"
Sidious inclined his head, his voice smooth and controlled. "Indeed, Master. Through the dark side's veil, I have glimpsed fragmented visions of a young human boy on a distant planet, ruthlessly eliminating his Trandoshan foes with a blaster while evading them with ease that can only mean he is force sensetive."
Plagueis's sharp eyes bore into Sidious's image. "A boy capable of such violence is intriguing, to say the least. Perhaps a future pawn in the tapestry of the Grand Plan? What do you think, Sidious?"
Sidious's lips curled into a sly smile. "It is possible, Master. Our vision for the galaxy has been finalised years ago but it is always possible to add another pawn. "
The two Sith Lords delved into further discussion about topics such as their plots within the Galactic Senate, the intricacies of their financial manipulations of the mid and outer rim systems, and the progress they had made toward achieving their ultimate goal: a Sith-ruled galaxy.
As their conversation neared its end, Plagueis's gaze held a contemplative gleam. "And yet, I find myself vexed by one lingering obstacle."
Sidious's brow arched in curiosity. "What is it, Master?"
Plagueis's voice held a hint of frustration as he confessed, "The blubbering fools around me here are causing my patience to slowly evaporate. I am looking forward to the moment I can travel back to Coruscant"
Sidious laughed darkly "Don't think I have it much easier with the pacifist morons here on Naboo"
Plagueis' smile deepened, tinged with understanding. "Indeed, my apprentice. Then let us channel that resentment into fuel for our ambitions, Sidious. Together, we shall shape the galaxy's destiny, and the Force itself will bow to our will. You are excused, Sidious."
With a nod of agreement, Sidious terminated the connection, leaving Plagueis in darkness, his thoughts veering toward the uncharted territory that lay ahead. Once again he internally ranted against his late master, Darth Tenebrous who had left a mark upon Plagueis in his final moments. Ever since killing Tenebrous, Plagueis had been unable to receive even the smallest visions of the future through the force.
He was thus dependent on his apprentice for these things, something that he despised but had no idea how to correct. Plagueis' mind went to his apprentice. He couldn't help but feel that Sidious was sometimes omitting a few facts from his reports. Nothing that would harm the Grand Plan, no but certain details that might become important in the long term.
But no Sidious wouldn't do that, Plagueis had made it clear that he would not replace Sidious unless he suddenly made an unrepairable error and that the two would, in time, rule the galaxy together: Sidious as the face with Plagueis in the shadows.
**Scene Break**
June 1982 / 43 BBY, Kashyyyk System, Kashyyyk's forests:
Feeling something.. strange, Dooku opened his eyes to reveal something that he hadn't expected at all. Instead of being a force ghost or whatever the afterlife would consist of he found himself laying on a grassy ground surrounded by massive trees. Furthermore he could feel small arms holding onto his leg.
Dazed and confused, Dooku looked down to see Harry unconsciously holding onto his leg. Putting his finger onto the boy's neck he could feel a pulse, a faint one but still a pulse, good the boy was merely unconscious and not dead as Dooku had feared for a moment. He looked around in confusion. What had happened? He could clearly remember closing his eyes in acceptance of his death. He could even see the burning remains of what was just an hour ago a fully functioning shuttle. So how were he and Harry still alive?
He didn't have long to think about their mysterious survival however as he could hear voices coming nearer. Standing up he found himself standing in front of a group of Trandoshans.
"How the fuck is the Jedi still alive after that crash?" one of them yell after spotting Dooku.
"Doesn't matter, blast him!" the other responded, immediately opening fire on Dooku along with the three others with him who quickly followed his example.
Dooku quickly ignited his lightsaber and a blue blade quickly began deflecting the incoming blaster bolts. The first group of Trandoshans fell in short order but their nearby others heard their shouts of "Kill the Jedi" and rushed to the scene. Defending himself and an unconscious Harry became more and more difficult for Dooku and eventually he began readying himself for an incoming death. It was not to be however, as right in the moment where Dooku became vulnerable, Harry woke up and began blasting and force pushing the Trandoshans after a quick moment of reorientation.
"Good to see you are awake again, Harry"
"Yeah, I am glad we survived that" Harry said, panting in exhaustion.
"Indeed, though I have to admit, the reason to why is beyond me"
"Uhm" Harry stammered after sidestepping another bolt "Uhh well, I might have had something to do with that, I'm really happy it worked out"
"Indeed? Well then I thank you for saving my life, Harry. But be assured, once this is over I will be most interested in hearing just what exactly you did to get us out of that situation"
"Yes, Master Dooku"
The two force sensetives began cutting in Dooku's case and shooting in Harry's case themselves a path through more and more Trandoshans, trying to get to the Wookie village which they had "landed" close to. Dooku kept a close eye on Harry during all this time and cursed the monsters that had owned him before Madam Lovissque did. What did they make the boy go through that he was able to avoid blaster shots so gracefully? That he was able to move so swiftly? That he was able to kill them so efficiently? And all that at what, around seven years of age? Harry didn't even feel like a kid to Dooku, he felt too mature in the force for that.
What puzzled him however was that Harry was very well articulated for a young child and that he seemed confident of himself and his actions, abused children normally weren't like that. Or that is atleast what Dooku liked to think but then again he wasn't an expert when it came to children. Normally he would stop a padawan from doing something like this, afraid that they were drawing on the dark side, but Harry felt absolutely serene in the force. There was no dark or light side in Harry's actions, there was simply balance and the determination to make things right. Still, once they were back on Coruscant he would have to talk with a healer. This couldn't be healthy.
Harry, immersed in the force, shot another Trandoshan while leaning his body to the side, letting another blaster bolt fly past him. He had done this so many times, it had become second nature to him, so much so that he missed the frowning looks Master Dooku gave him from time to time. So much so that when the Trandoshans began throwing grenades, he simply chose to thrust his free hand forwards, plucking the grenade from the air with the force like a fruit and throwing them back to the Trandoshans. Thus he also missed the flabbergasted look on Dooku when he saw that Harry had reacted even before himself. Harry and Dooku left a trail of destruction and death behind and eventually reached the village where the Wookies were making a desperate last stand to protect their children.
pov change
Wraarrgon threw himself to the side and wailed in distress when one of his closest friends fell to the ground behind him. Growling in rage he stormed towards the Trandoshan that had killed his friend and wrestled the reptile to the ground, violently beating him to death. He heard a snarl and looked up to see a Trandoshan looming over him pointing a blaster at Wraarrgon. There was no way Wraarrgon would be able to kill the reptile in time, so he resigned himself to die for his family.
Instead of killing Wraarrgon however, the Trandoshan suddenly fell forward. Looking at the man, Wraarrgon could see he had been shot, so he looked back to thank his saviour. Instead of a fellow Wookie however, he saw a human child carrying a blaster followed by what could only be a Jedi, the blue lightsaber blade made him pretty sure of that. Wait a human? Child?
Wraarrgon couldn't believe his eyes as it was indeed a human child that had likely saved him, the following actions of the boy proving Wraarrgon right. The boy jumped over multiple blasts just enough so that he wouldn't get hit. He then seemed to flow around every blaster bolt that was targeted at him. Wraarrgon had never seen someone so young move with such grace.
The Trandoshans had apparently also realised the new danger and began focusing their fire on the two humans, giving the chance for Wraarrgon and the other Wookies to regroup and help out what they quickly realised were quite possibly their saviours. Wraarrgon angrily shot multiple Trandoshans focusing their fire on the boy with his crossbow before running to the boy's side.
The three were soon joined by a few other Wookies and the group slowly made their way to the center where they joined the main group of Wookie resistance.
"Take your families and get them away, we'll cover your back" the boy suddenly said after a while. Wraarrgon looked incredulously at the boy, hoping he would understand Wraarrgon's expression though he doubted the boy could. Was the boy out of his mind? They couldn't just leave the two humans behind to fight for themselves.
"Harry is right, everyone who is no longer fit to fight, must leave this village immediately and find shelter wherever they can. I sense the fightings coming to a close over the planet but we cannot be too sure of a coming victory" the Jedi said with his deep voice.
It took the Wookies a while but they eventually agreed with the humans' reasoning and so the injured men and women went to the houses, gathered their children and made their escape. Wraarrgon roared and fought even more zealously now, deciding that they would not just survive this fight but win it. He could have never expected the Trandoshan hunters to get a smart idea now.
pov change
Harry was glad that the Wookie children were finally making their way to safety. Refocusing his attention on the battle he could feel that slowly but surely exhaustion was beginning to set in. He sidestepped another blasting bolt and realised that he had somewhat been isolated from the rest of the defenders and made to correct this, knowing it left him vulnerable.
He missed the warning shout of Dooku when a Trandoshian hovercraft suddenly appeared in front of him. Cables shot off from it's sides, wrapping themselves around his upper legs and suddenly pulling him forward. He lost his balance and wasn't able to twist away when another blast shot towards him. Within seconds everything went dark.
Chapter End
Is this the end? Nah, of course not lmao. Sorry for the cliffhanger. Hope you liked it. :)
