The Forced Rider 555. Chapter Three.
(I own Nothing! Not Star Wars, not Kamen Rider and not anything else from other sources.)
Last Time
Junk Wolf travelled to the Malevolence to meet and 'help' General Grevious in his assault of a Republic medical station. The result was Jedi Knight Skywalker's squadron of bombers managed to disable the main offensive weapon before it could reach its target.
In the battle Junk Wolf's fighter was damaged by the debris from a destroyed droid fighter and an Ion pulse from the Malevolence, but was able to limp its way back to the Malevolence hanger, before a Republic Battle Group arrived and opened fire.
Chapter Three Start
Main Hanger of the Malevolence-One hour after the events of the last chapter.
Junk Wolf can be seen with his legs hanging off the side of his ship as he repairs certain components, with R4G3R handing him tools while Accel watches for curious droids. He mutters to himself as he tinkers with the support systems.
A hundred feet away two droids who are guarding the main interior door to the ship from the hanger start a conversation, "I thought the Ion Cannon completely disabled all electronics," the first droid started.
The second droid turned its head to the first and says, "Well, from the what I was told by one of the droids on the bridge, Grievous received a punch to the face, followed by a scolding from Count Dooku, for his negligence and apparently he almost ended an important technology contract."
"What kind of Technology?" the first droid asked.
"Rumour has it," the second droid spoke, "Robotics and propulsion, the rumour also goes on to say," whatever it was going to say was interrupted by Grievous smashing its head off as it enters the room.
The side of Grevious' face plate was cracked as he glares at Junk Wolf's fighter, Behind him two Magna Guards following his steps to the Fighter. The small group walks forward and Grevious speaks when close, "Sorry to interrupt," his voice dripping with sarcasm, "But the Malevolence's hyperdrive needs to be repaired."
Junk Wolf continues to work when he replies with sarcasm, "Well it's a good thing you did not have the system share a power source with those poorly designed Ion Bombs. Oh wait you did!" R4G3R appears to laugh with its whole body shaking, while Accel just nods in agreement.
Grievous growls and shouts, "Fix my ship!"
Junk Wolf just continued fixing his fighter and says, "Have your droids fix the system its not that complex of a problem, even a defective battle droid could fix it," Grievous growls before marching off.
Republic Flagship-Main Bridge-Obiwan's battle group-An hour Later.
Obi-wan Kenobi watched as the ten Republic cruisers, focused their combined fire power on the retreating Separatist Flagship. Kenobi then turns to the clone in charge of the weapons systems, "What is our status?"
The clone commander spoke, "All batteries are running at full capacity, they are not expected to overheat for a couple hours. Time that we may need, it's just so massive."
Kenobi agreed with the clone's logic with a nod when Skywalker, Plo coon and Ahsoka arrive, where Skywalker then says, "That is why we are here."
"Anakin, were you able to get reinforcements?" Kenobi questioned his former student.
"Master Luminara's battle group is engaging a Separatist fleet two systems over," Skywalker answered, "We are on our own until their battle is completed."
"Then we are on our own," Kenobi replied before he faces the clone commander, "Focus all weapons on the ships engines or bridge, even anti-fighter crafts," the clone nods before relaying all orders.
From Dooku contacting Greivous about Senator Amidala and her ship is captured is cannon.
Main Hanger of the Malevolence-(The same hanger Junk Wolf is in.)
Junk Wolf looks to the Nabuian transport while the fires rage in the back ground. He had finished the repairs to his ship, now he was waiting for the systems to reboot. He was currently sitting on the top of the hull of his fighter, with a screwdriver and a wireless solder pen. He was working on a new wrist brace, with a computer terminal and experimental technology that he was prototyping. He looks up when he notices a woman and a gold protocol droid leave the ship through the landing gear port. He then turns back to his work, not really caring about the two.
He then looks up when he hears Grievous' footsteps enter the hanger. Instead of heading to Junk Wolf, as he was expecting, Grievous went to the silver ship. Five minutes after Grievous enter the craft; it exploded in a large fire. Junk Wolf looked up, before his belt started ringing. "Hello?" Wolf started and listens to the phone, "Yeah they are on the ship," he listens again, "No Grievous, does not have the senator," Grievous smashes his way out of the wreckage, "The senator overloaded her ship, she is on board with her droid, but she just left the main hanger through an access hall," he listens again and says with a nod, "sure I will make sure she stays alive."
Grievous then reaches Wolf and shouts at him, "Why did you not capture the Senator when she got off her craft?!"
"Got to go," Wolf says over the phone before hanging up and saying, "Sorry, Dooku just informed me of her status. I will find her."
"NOT WITHOUT ME!" Grievous shouts.
"Okay," Wolf says, not caring before he starts walking into the ship, "Just remember we need the Senator alive."
Republic Flagship-Main Bridge.
Skywalker walks towards the elevators as Kenobi questions him, "Where are you going?"
"I am going to rescue Padme," Skywalker answered as Kenobi started to follow him.
Ahsoka then spoke up, "Wait for me!"
"Ahsoka," Skywalker started.
"Master, not only is Grievous on that ship, but so is Junk Wolf. You are going to need me to protect Senator Amadalla if we are force to engage," Ahsoka argued.
Kenobi stroked his beard and says, "That is true, we can handle Grievous when he is alone, but if we have to deal with his droids, it would be life or death."
"Plus we don't know Junk Wolfs full capabilities," Skywalker added, "Well then let's go snips."
Plo Coon then speaks, "Is that wise?"
"Master, she will be with us," Skywalker spoke before they entered the elevator.
Skywalkers Personal Transport-The Twilight- five Minutes later.
Skywalker preps his ship, as Ahsoka straps herself into her seat at the scanner terminal. Kenobi then enters the bridge and asks, "Do you have a plan?"
Skywalker nods and says, "The enemy's ship is heavily damaged, most likely key systems are damaged, or the craft does not have any rear weapons," the ship then takes off, and flies out of the main hanger of the Republic Flagship.
"How can you possibly know that," Kenobi comments.
"Ah, Master," Ahsoka gets Obi-wan's attention, "We flew past the rear of the ship during the bombing run, as well as all the turrets on the hull, and was attacked from behind when dealing with that ship."
Obi-wan was impressed before he smirks at his former student, "I see you have been teaching her well, Anakin."
Skywalker clears his throat, "Actually, Ahsoka has improved since her battle with Junk Wolf and has been improving her own awareness. Which has probably saved us on a couple occasions."
"When he almost walked us into a trap," Ahsoka muttered.
"To be fair," Skywalker started, "It was a group of kids who were hungry."
Kenobi just chuckles as the Twilight reaches the rear of the Malevolence and after performing multiple spins docked to the enemy ship, using an emergency docking port. Obi-wan Kenobi then says, "Spinning is not flying."
"Complain about my driving later," Skywalker commented as R2D2 beeped in agreement.
The group of Three Jedi and a Droid go through the airlock into the Separatist Flagship, where they are confronted by two battle droids, that Ahsoka jumps forward and destroys the two battle droids with one swing. Obi-wan Kenobi nods at Ahsoka's impressive attack.
Obi-wan then asks Skywalker, "So how do we find the Senator?"
Skywalker rubs his chin as they begin to walk, "R2 stay with the ship. Let's try searching on foot first, and only get R2 to find Padma if we can't find her with thirty minutes," the other two nod as R2 beeps in acknowledgment.
Obi-wan just nods and says, "Well, that has worked for us in the pass," the three then walk down a long hallway.
With Senator Amadalla.
Padma Amadalla, former Queen and current Senator of Nabbo, after escaping from her own transport, that she overloaded to explode, had found a broken terminal. She then spent twenty minutes of repairing the system, with C-3P0 on look out.
"Mistress, Battle droids," C-3PO warned her.
Padma turned as the first battle droid shadow cast itself at the end of the hall, and pulled C-3P0 behind some wreckage. As Junk Wolf, Grievous and a squad of Battle Droids reach the. Junk Wolf looks along the hall, and notices a very small golden reflection as Grievous shouts, "I guess Dooku's claims of you being able to find anything," Junk Wolf just stares at the terminal without facing it, as Grievous gets a message.
"General," spoke a battle droid over the internal communication system, "the damage to the Hyperdrive was not as bad as we thought."
Grievous chuckled as Junk Wolf just simply said, "Told you," in a childish tone, "Let me handle finding the Senator," Grievous growls.
"I will be on the Bridge, inform me when the Senator is captured," Grievous stated as he matched away and past Padma's position, causing Junk Wolf to smirk behind his mask and thought, 'That head of his clearly has no peripheral vision,' he then smirks. Unknown to him Grievous used communication module, "I want all of Junk Wolf actions recorded and sent to my personal server."
Junk Wolf clears his throat and asks, "Did Grievous install escape pods?"
One of the battle droids processed the information faster than other spoke, "No sir, then only crafts the Senator could use to escape if the general's fighter, and your ship."
Junk Wolf nods and then says, "Okay then, have a squad of Battle droids protect Grievous' dingy, My craft will be useless for another thirty minutes," he then points at the droids behind him, "You lot search the way we came, the rest of you head that way, I am sure that the Senator went along this hallway. I am going to search the engine room," with their orders given, they marched off with Junk Wolf following until they reached the corner further up. Where Junk Wolf stayed just out of sight of the Senator, and just leans back on the wall, with a simple thought, 'she does not need to be in a cell to stop the Republic,' and he was right, the Republic will not endanger one of its own.
Padme waited until she was sure that the droids and Sith assassin were gone, before she proceeds to repair the terminal and contacts the Republic ships.
With Skywalker's group.
Skywalker, Obi wan and Ahsoka walked through the halls of the Malevolence only now passing an elevator. Skywalker's communicator beeps and Plo Coon's voice speaks, "Skywalker, Senator Amadalla managed to contact us, patching her to you."
"Padma where are you?" Skywalker spoke.
"Anakin, I managed to avoid Grievous and Junk Wolf, but you need to destroy this ship," Padma replies through to communicator.
"First we get you off this ship," Skywalker spoke.
"Wait," Padme started.
With Padma.
"Why are you on the ship," Padme questioned
"We came to save you," Skywalker answered.
"You brought Obi-wan with you," Padme asked while face palming.
"Ahsoka is here too," Skywalker defended.
Padme sighs,
With Skywalker's group.
"Anne, this ship could destroy the Republic, it needs to be destroyed," Padma stated.
"Then we will do that too," Skywalker replied, "Once we get to you we will find a way to disable the ship or something, we will think of something."
Plo Coon then reminded his presence to the two groups, "We have found a large open space between your positions it is large enough for a small ship to fly through."
"Thank you Master Plo," Ahsoka spoke defusing the tense atmosphere, "We need to get to the Senator, before Junk Wolf finds her."
"Or Grievous," Kenobi added.
Skywalker looks at his padawan as he speaks, "Padma be careful of the guy in full body silver armour, Ahsoka fought him once, apparently he is very skilled with a light sabre."
"I will meet you at the indicated location," Padma spoke.
With Padme
"Stay safe, Senator," Skywalker spoke over the communicator, his tone indicating he is worried for her.
"I'll be fine Ani," Padme spoke before adding, "I am not completely defenceless."
"I know but still," Skywalker replied.
"I know," Padme turned away from the terminal, "Come on Threepio, we are getting out of here."
The two then run off in the opposite direction of Junk Wolf, who silent climbed up the wall of the oversized hallways using magnetised plates in the soles of his shoes to walk along the roof twenty feet in the air, he managed to reach above his two targets and proceeds to follow the two through the halls. He never revealed his presence even when they reach the tram system in the middle of the ship. Junk Wolf crouches when he reaches the edge, while a group of battle droids arrive behind the Senator and C3PO. The lead Battle Droid then orders, "Freeze! Don't Move!"
At this point Skywalker, Obi-wan and Ahsoka reached the tram system and Once Skywlker sees her he shouts, "Padme!"
She turns around and looks at Anakin then down to the Tram system she then grabs C3PO and jumps down to the tram system. Padme lands on the tram without issue, but C3PO bounces off the tram and onto another, going in the opposite direction. Padme watched as C3PO was getting further and further, at this point Padme hears a thud next to her, and when she turns back, she sees Junk Wolf staring at the tram that C3PO left on.
Obi-wan then speaks, "I'll get the droid, you two get the Senator."
The two nod as the three jumps down to the trams, and a trio of Battle Droids spotted them, causing two droids to open fire, where the Jedi deflected the blast right back. Obi-wan then jumps down to another tram to follow C3PO while Skywalker and Ahsoka jump from one tram to another until the land on the tram next to Padme's tram.
"Junk Wolf!" Ahsoka started, "Get away from the Senator!"
Junk Wolf looked at the two Jedi, and wave, "Hello again! Nice weather we are having." Padme just looked at the 'Sith' in disbelief, while Skywalker is just straight up confused. They then drive past a group of super battle droids with rocket modification launched a pair of missiles at the track further up along the trams path. For Junk Wolf time appeared to freeze, as he turned towards the tracks ahead then back to Padme before he turns to Skywalker who had a look of terror on his face. Junk Wolf sighs before grabbing the back of Padme's shirt and throwing her over to Skywalker, causing the two to crash onto the tram deck, before he proceeds to jump over to their tram by flipping over Ahsoka and landing behind her and saying, "She is meant to be a hostage, you would think Grievous would relay those orders, but no he is to busy with whatever goes on in his head."
With his piece said Ahsoka turns around with her light sabre activated, but stopped at his throat. He did not even try to dodge he just stood there while Ahsoka interrogated him, "Why did you save the Senator?!"
Junk Wolf shakes his head and says, "If she dies, Republic forces re-engage this ship, and frankly I already checked to see if the Malevolence had a brig, but Grievous never planned on having prisoners."
Padme looks at Junk Wolf and asks, "So what do you get out if it?"
Junk Wolf just shrugs and says, "How should I know. So far all I have seen is a disgusting use of my technology and the new definition of poorly design crusiers, with a little picture of the Malevolence and Grievous at the bottom, with a foot note, 'I thought it was a good idea at the time, but it was everyone elses fault not mine' then it would a second footnote that says, 'hundred percent of all designers of Malevolence stated the ship would be filled with flaws.'"
Ahsoka was trying her best to avoid, outright laughing, while Padme and Skywalker look at Junk Wolf, with Padme asking the most important question ever, "I thought you said this guy was a Sith."
Skywalker looks to the struggles of his student when he answers, "This is my first time meeting the guy face to face, but he is the first Sith I have met that is giving 'friendly' conversation."
Junk Wolf the moves, causing Ahsoka to jump back, as he reached to the back of his waist to find nothing there. He spins around before making gestures indicating his journey from the present to the when he left his ship, raising one hand to imitate Grievous, before palming his face and saying, "This is awkward."
Ahoka raised an eyebrow and asks, "What?"
"I left my sabre with my friend," Junk Wolf answered, before rolling his neck and stretching and continuing, "I believe this is the part where we fight."
"You are unarmed," Ahsoka retorted.
"And?" Junk Wolf questions, "Just because I don't have a light sabre does not mean I can't defend myself," he adds as he gets into an open palm defence stance.
Skywalker stood in front of him as he says, "Ahsoka, defend Padme."
Ahsoka stepped back and stood in front of the senator as Skywalker stepped forward and ignited his light sabre. Junk Wolf smiles under his helmet as he says, "You have the right idea." Skywalker goes to pierce Junk Wolf, but Wolf simply evades the light sabre and slams his open palm into the side of Skywalker's face causing him to stumble, "good effort, but I see Master Reven's teaching were neglected or downright forgotten." Skywalker shakes his head and recovers, and attacks again. Junk Wolf calmly evades, and asks, "Have you ever considered learning other skills that you could incorporate into your sabre fighting abilities?"
Skywalker gritted his teeth and he goes to strike, "What does it matter to you!?"
Wolf simply grabs a hold of his wrist, "Dooku mastered all forms of light sabre combat, with a minor focus on his force abilities that he mastered after he left your order and began his training with the offensive force abilities."
"Offensive?" Ahsoka muttered.
Skywalker was then kicked back towards Ahsoka, before he shouts, "Then what did you do to be able fight this well!?"
Junk Wolf chuckles in amusement when he says, "Blood, knowledge, history and a choice," his cryptic answer annoyed the two Jedi and just straight up confused the Senator.
Ahsoka then charged forward shouting, "What does that even mean!?"
Ahsoka forced the two to opposite edges of the tram, where Junk Wolf aimed his wrist brace and fired a grapple at her light sabre. In a stroke of luck she used the force to deflect the cable which shot past her and attached to another tram. Junk Wolf simply says, "Uh-oh," before being pulled forward and into Ahsoka, her tube top being snagged on his belt, before they are pulled them in the opposite way to the Skywalker and Padme.
Skywalker was going to jump to them when another group of battle droids shot them and stopped him and he covered Padme, as the tram entered a tunnel. Padme then supported Anikin and says, "We will find her."
Anikin nods before speaking into his communicator, "Obi-wan, Ahsoka was separated from us and is with Junk Wolf."
"Well i have been separated from your droid. I can head to the engine room and disable the hyperdrive. I will disable them, you get to your padawan," Obi-wan stated.
Skywalker looked in the direction they were going before the tram stopped and they got off before Skywalker spoke, "She was heading in your direction master, you will probably get to her before me and we can't risk the Senator's safety, I'll get R2 to find 3PO," he then pauses before adding, "And heads up, Junk Wolf does not need a Light Sabre to fight a Jedi."
"Understood," Obi-wan added after a few seconds of reflection.
Padme looks at the empty deck when the Tram starts moving again and says, "Let's go." Skywalker nods as the two run towards the deck and through an entry way.
With Ahsoka and Junk Wolf.
Junk Wolf's tether started to stretch and the individual wires began to snap, and once the last wire snapped Junk Wolf and Ahsoka were sent flying into a storage area, Ahsoka landing with a roll while Junk Wolf slammed into a crate. Ahsoka slowly gets up, while Junk Wolf sits up and notices a ripped orangey red toob top attached to his prototype. Ahsoka stands and points her Light Sabre at Junk Wolf. Junk Wolf looks up at her and his helmet appears to turn bright red while he stares at her upper torso.
"What no clever quips? Or words of 'Enlightenment'?" Ahsoka questioned.
"No, I was actually going to offer you my vest," Junk Wolf retorted as he showed the ripped Toob top on his wrist.
Ahsoka stares at it before she begins to blush and covers her chest while deactivating her Light Sabre, and she falls to her knees to cover herself. Junk Wolf stands before turning around removes the phone from his belt and presses a button that deactivated the armour. From her angle of sight she could not see his face, as he removes the brown vest, before he reactivates the armour, showing Ahsoka the glowing red lines that formed the suit. He then hands her the vest and says, "Here."
Ahsoka takes the vest and covers herself with a blush. Once he hears Ahsoka finishing zipping the vest up and stands. Her grip on her Light Sabre tightens before she glares at Junk Wolf and shouts, "Pervert!" before attacking with a righteous fury that only a female could administer.
Junk Wolf began to dodge as he stepped back to avoid some of her dangerous swings, even having to deflect several kicks and punches to places best not mentioned. He avoided her attacks as he would constantly step back to avoid her strikes, as he directed the angry Jedi down the hall, and into a large yellow light engine room. Junk Wolf then asks, "If I apologies will you stop attacking me?!" as he bumped into a group of battle droids and ducked to avoid a decapitating swing, "guess not." He then turns around and just runs, right into Obi-wan Kenobi and flips over him to avoid Ahsoka.
Grievous just watches this while Kenobi notices the new clothes and uses a couple destroyers to knock droids out of the way before grabbing Ahsoka and following Junk Wolf only to find themselves on another tram, with Grievous following them and destroying any crate in his way. Obi-wan and Ahsoka reach the front if the tram before turning to Grievous. Obi-wan then looked down and grabbed Ahsoka before jumping down and slashing the Tram Grievous was on to get away.
Once they were sure they were safe, Kenobi asks, "What happened?"
Ahsoka blushed and admits to what happened, "When Junk Wolf tackled me, my shirt got caught on his wrist and was ripped off, and I got so angry."
Kenobi looked at Ahsoka and says, "Well it appears you discover your fury as a female, normally focused on males, due to stupidity or coincidence."
Ahsoka just looks at him and asks, "How exactly do you know this?" as the tram stopped for them to get off.
"When I was a Padawan I caused that kind of response," Kenobi answered, "Also, let's not tell Anakin, he would never let it go," Ahsoka just nods.
Unknown to the two Junk Wolf had been hiding under the tram they were riding, but stayed on when the two left. After it embarked again, Junk Wolf disconnected his phone and made a call, before heading to the hanger his ship was in. He headed to his ship and just got in it, before with his two droids he flew out of the hanger, having a gut feeling that Skywalker and Senator Padme, after losing sight of the two, probably have done something to the ships systems to disable the ship, and with Skywalker's technical knowledge or luck, may have done something. He decided to fly a safe distance from the ship, having an idea what would happen even if Skywalker did not play mechanic.
With Anikin and Padme.
After they received a communiqué from Obi-wan they had went to the bridge where, Skywalker reset the navigational coordinates before as Padme cleaned the room of Battle droids before the next group of droids entered the bridge.
The two then took the elevator down where they find C3PO arguing with R2, with the ship thirty feet from their position, and proceeded into the airlock when Ahsoka and Obi-wan arrived with a shout of 'hold the door' which is what Skywalker did so they could enter the ship.
One the whole group reached the bridge they strapped in, except for Padme who stood behind the two senior Jedi on the ship. They disengaged from the Separatist ship with Obi-wan ordering Ahsoka, "Contact the fleet!"
"No need Master," Skywalker spoke. Obi-wan was going to question his former student's sanity when Grievous and his remaining fighters intercept the cargo hauler, "Shoot back at any time!"
Obi-wan was going to make a comment when Padme spoke, "I got it."
He then witnesses Padme press a button and a periscope with trigger and screen display the outlines of the droid fighters. She control of the turret on the extended wing and manages to blast several of the fighters but could not hit Grievous' fighter.
Obi-wan than asks, "Why exactly are we not contacting the fleet?" before getting annoyed, "Because if the Malevolence gets away."
Skywalker shakes his head and says, "We messed with the navi computer they are going to crash into a local moon."
In Grievous' fighter a hologram of a battle droid spoke, "General the hyperdrive is fixed."
"Retreat to Separatist controlled space!" Grievous orders in anger. They do just that, and the ship starts to change course and go towards the nearest moon, the droid informs the general what was happening and Grievous shouts, "Reset the navi computer!" which turned out to be useless as the warship started to implode, with portions of the craft falling off as the ship neared the moon.
A hologram of Count Dooku was then displayed on Grievous' controls and the count speaks, "Where is the Malevolence?" Grevious simply turns off the communication system and escapes from the Republic forces.
On the Twilight.
Padme sits on the bridge with the three Jedi as they contact the council. On the holopad Jedi Master Mace Windu and Grand Master Yoda are seen. Mace Windu then speaks, "So you engaged this new Sith, Skywalker."
"Yes masters," Skywalker answered, "Apparently he was under orders to keep Senator Amadalla alive while on the ship, due to the Malevolence not having a prison or brig."
"Not to mention a lack of escape pods," Padme included.
Ahsoka then added, "Apparently it was easier to have the Senator running around in the ship than to have to lock her away anywhere," her tone was annoyed as the masters stared at her, "it's what Junk Wolf said."
They nod before Skywalker adds, "I engaged him, while he was without his light Sabre. His abilities appear to be that of a Force-sensitive but it did not feel the Force from him."
Yoda rubs his chin and says, "Bounty hunter, perhaps his is. Take caughtion we must."
"For now bring the Senator back to Corsaunt," Master Windu started, "Where we can report the danger of Junk Wolf to the Chancellor."
"Yes master," Ahsoka, Obi-wan and Skywalker spoke before the hologram turned off.
Ahsoka then left the bridge, with Padme following shortly after. Padme finds Ahsoka sitting in the rear hanger on a crate looking through the pockets. Padme sits down next to her, and asks, "So where did you get that vest?" Ahsoka just glares at her before telling her what happened.
End of Chapter Three
(I figured I would end here so I can work on another story. Next time there will be a somewhat original.
Though I will be including alien species from shows like Ben 10, Doctor Who and others.
That is all for now, so please review and comment what you think of the story without spoilers, and finally
UNTIL NEXT TIME, BEWARE THE WRAITH!)
