Forced Rider 555 Chapter Nine
If you are wondering what has taken so long between updates is because I got really into this chapter and only updated it now due to me controlling myself. Though I have nothing else to say at this time so, Merry Christmas for 2019, and this also can be considered the end of chapter comments. =P
I own nothing! And Sorry for going overboard with Chapter length.
:Chapter Start:
Republic Star Destroyer-En route to Coresaunt-Three days after the Ultimate Race
Junk Wolf was sitting inside his Wolf Blade, sealed inside while Ahsoka sat on a set of crates above the craft. R4G3R was currently scanning for anyone that would try to get to close where Accel was step between them and the ship. Ahsoka focused her connection to the Force into her ears so that she could hear Junk Wolf and an unknown voice. The Unknown voice simply states, "That configuration will not help you, the amount of radiation to actually keep the effect permanent will result in an acceleration of degradation."
Junk Wolf voice then says, "Then this was a waste of time."
The unknown voice speaks, "And yet your gamble paid off you have more time to," the voice was cut off before Junk Wolf opened the Wolf Blade to reveal what appears to be a tool box sitting in the back seat. Faiz still in his armour stretches as he steps out the Wolf Blade while across the hanger past several dozen clones and fighters to look at the man who sitting on a motorcycle with side car.
The man wears a black leather jacket with golden cross stylised markings, brown hair and an off centred look to his eyes. Around his waist is a belt like Junk Wolf's only with a large Cross shaped weapon blaster/Light Sabre Handle, while on the other side is a strange box contraption that appears incomplete. In his hands is the Kaixa Phone with a cloth to clean it. Faiz shakes his head as he walks towards the entrance to the Hanger.
Ahsoka landed next to him and asks, "I still do not understand why you made that choice."
Faiz frowns under his helmet in thought before saying, "The real question is why did your Master accept that man to join you."
"He explained more about himself then you," Ahsoka countered.
Faiz snorts before saying, "Exactly, I have a reason to conceal myself, so why did he apparently share his 'life' story?" causing Ahsoka to frown as they walk out the hanger.
Planet Velocitus-Throne room-Day of the Ultimate Race.
Faiz and Kaixa was led through the throne room by several of the guards into the main castle. Faiz was leaning on the Elevator wall while fiddling with a set of keys for his destroyed vehicle, and the golden ring attached to his waist. The elevator opened to reveal Ahsoka getting assistance by a clone medic as Skywalker glared at Count Dooku, with Chancellor Palpatine, Master Luminara and Senator Amadala stands behind him. Faiz stares at the Senate Guards where they were ready and pointing their weapons at Count Dooku and his Magna Guards. Faiz stared at the two groups and sighs before saying, "Are you really going to let them fight in here?"
In answer the Senate Guards and the Magna Guards' weapons all vanished and found themselves sitting next to the Baron who says, "As the Champion of the Ultimate Race has arrived after the whole issue of cheating being resolved," Vert entered the chamber from a back door, Baron Continues with, "We can skip ceremony, have you decided on where Velocitus shall be aligned with?"
Faiz made a full show of staring at his keys before looking up to Vert and says, "I am good," before throwing his keys over to Vert, "Later," Faiz turns around to leave as Vert catches the Keys. Faiz starts walking to the elevator only for his feet to suddenly leave the ground.
Skywalker glares at Faiz's back and says, "You are not going anywhere, you are still in our custody," Faiz sighs loudly.
Baron frowns before saying, "If you expect to force him to make a choice, I am afraid that the choice has already been given to someone else," everyone frowns before the Baron looks to Vert.
Vert frowns as he stares at the keys before looking up at his father and sighs, "Well I have spent the last month getting know Ahsoka and Junk Wolf, I learnt quite a bit about each side," Count Dooku nods before he and his Magna Guards started to leave much to the Republics confusion while Faiz crosses his arms. Count Dooku leaves before Vert gives his answer, "Velocitus will join the Republic."
Faiz continues to cross his arms while the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic speaks, "For what reason did you come to that choice?"
Vert frowns before saying, "Simply because the Confederacy already had a deal with Exhau, who tried to cheat the Ultimate Race. Congrats by the way," Faiz waves him off in annoyance. Vert then continued, "Technically Junk Wolf was racing as part of the Republic team so it answers itself."
Baron Praxis nods before saying, "Very well, I will make an announcement after we hear this individual's story," indicating Kaixa.
Kaixa stepped forward before opening the Kaixa Phone on his belt and removes it from the belt before flipping the front and pressing the 'end' button. Kaixa glowed gold before the armour vanished revealing a brown haired man. The man who is Kaixa simply says, "My name is Masato Kusaka, I took this belt from the people who tried to experiment on me. I don't know who they were but I do know they have something to do with these belts," he raised his Kaixa Driver, "I seek assistance and am willing to aid you in the war."
Faiz glares at Masato with a frown under his helmet before he was suddenly dropped to the ground violently by Skywalker who says, "We will be happy to accept your assistance, and as a Jedi will help you in finding answers."
Faiz shakes himself as he stands before trying to walk to the elevator when Chancellor Palpatine asks him, "Where are you going young Sith?"
"Not a Sith," Faiz says over his shoulder, "Need to be Force Sensitive for that crap," he continues to the Elevator.
Chancellor Palpatine then adds, "You cannot leave until you stand trial."
Faiz laughs before saying, "By Republic Law, Chapter three eighty seven, sub section twenty two paragraph three. 'Mercenaries hired to complete tasks by either side of an argument can only be arrested if the task is results in the loss of sentient life,' and I have broken no such laws," Faiz turned around and continues, "The incident on Titus, I organised a legal duel for the right to conquer that planet. During the Tattoine incident I was hired to catch a pair of 'murderous' Jedi which turned out to be a strike against my employment," as he states these facts he steps closer to the Chancellor, "The last engagement that I had against the Republic was to retrieve a captured individual and was betrayed by a Sith."
Senator Amadala then asks, "What about the Malevolence?"
"I was hired to stop the Republic from destroying the ship," Faiz states as he turns to face the Senator before saying, "If you died the Republic would open fire and destroy the vessel. Even though the thing was going to implode due to the engines power source destabilizing. There was a reason the original design was so small," Faiz turned to leave.
Master Luminara then spoke, "I am afraid that the Jedi Counsel wishes to speak with you. So I ask that you come with us on our ship."
Faiz crosses his arms and says, "Look I have stuff to do, places to be and don't have all the time in the world to do it," he turns to leave only for Ahsoka to stand in his way, "Look not interested in getting a girl friend at the moment," that was when Ahsoka punched him in the gut only for nothing to happen, "Was that meant to do something? Because if you were trying to knock me out you want to aim for the back of the head."
Chancellor Palpatine then says, "I am afraid that if you don't go with the Jedi, I can have you arrested."
Faiz snorts in amusement before saying, "Nope, because I don't follow your government, nor do I follow the Confederacy."
Master Luminara frowns before speaking again, "Please, just so they can get an understanding of you from the source. Do this and you can avoid all future hassle from the Jedi during the war."
Faiz frowns under his helmet while Skywalker continues to glare. Faiz then asks, "What is your opinion Skywalker?"
"I am hoping that you decide to run so that I can arrest you," Skywalker states with a glare while Senator Amadala frowns at Skywalker's comment.
Faiz laughs before saying, "Then you don't want me to be anywhere near you?" Skywalker grits his teeth before Faiz says, "Fine then Master Luminara, just don't try and take my armour, I refuse to have it mass produced. That goes for the Kaixa Driver Gear," Faiz's head turns to Masato and with a frown continues, "You try to mass produce it I will kick your ass," he then finally enters the Elevator and leaves, but as the door closes Ahsoka rushed into the Elevator.
They were silent as they were lowered to the ground and when they stepped out Ahsoka suddenly asks, "Why did you help me?"
Faiz shrugs and says, "It was a spur of the moment decision. Hell for all I knew you gave the Faiz Phone with Skywalker. Thank you by the way."
Ahsoka nods before asking, "How did the Baron move so quickly? And what is the big deal with that watch you are wearing?"
"The Baron won that Race they same way I did without using Accelerchargers, He most likely wanted to be the fastest man in existence. It must be a big problem for him, always having to speak in slow motion when talking with everyone," Faiz answered before looking at the Accel Watch and says, "The watch is old tech, related to the armour and it's history."
"The five warriors?" Faiz states before he realised, "So the Jedi still have access to the story of Zordon. You shouldn't know that."
"I don't," Ahsoka admitted before saying, "The story ended when Andros entered the Dark Fortess. It just suddenly cut off. Do you know how it ended."
Faiz simpely says, "Yes, Andros killed Zordon," Faiz increased his pace as he walked away from a shocked Ahsoka.
The present-Republic Star Destroyer-Orbit of Coresaunt.
Junk Wolf with his Faiz helmet sitting next to him enjoyed some Clone Rations while Ahsoka sat across from him. They silently ate as Masato arrived and sat next to Ahsoka with his own tray of food and joined them. Masato asks, "Mind if I join you?" his question was directed to Ahsoka.
Junk Wolf answered, "Yeah actually," he stared at Masato expecting him to notice something about Junk Wolf.
Masato simply laughs lightly before saying, "I was not asking you," he takes a seat and asks, "So what is the Jedi temple like?"
"Quiet," Ahsoka answered in good humour before saying, "Plenty of simulators and a library with all the information in the Universe."
"Not everything," Junk Wolf answered as he continues to eat before saying, "The Universe if Infinite, always something new to discover and plenty to forget," that comment was directed at Masato, "After all Kaixa, what can you remember from before the apparent experiments?" Masato frowns in though before Junk Wolf took his helmet and left the mess hall.
Masato shakes his head before saying, "He is a weird one, not completely sane," Masato jokes to Ahsoka who just frowns. Masato continues, "So tell me about yourself, what is it like being a Padawan?" Ahsoka frowns at the question but answers several of Masato's questions by the time they land on Coresaunt.
Coresaunt-Military port-an hour later.
Faiz walks behind Ahsoka while Masato drove his bike after them. Skywalker and Master Luminara was leading them out the Star Destroyer towards the Jedi Masters Windu, Kenobi and Yoda on a floating pedestal waiting for them. Faiz sighs while the Wolf Blade slowly followed him a foot off the ground while Accel follows them with R4G3R inside the craft. The two Masters, Padawan, two riders, two vehicles and one robot, walked down the ramp to meet with said masters.
Skywalker was the first to speak, "Masters, I present the Sith Junk Wolf," a shout of 'Not a SITH!' was heard behind him as he continues, "And new ally, Masato Kusaka, who apparently has the same equipment as Junk Wolf."
Yoda nods before floating towards Junk Wolf and looks at him with curiosity before saying, "Hello again, Takumi," Faiz stiffened before Yoda continued, "It is strange that we meet again within my life time."
Faiz frowns under his helmet before saying, "I am afraid I don't know who you are, but my name is Junk Wolf," Faiz crosses arms and examined his gloved nails.
Master Windu frowns before saying, "Why is he not in binders?"
Master Luminara answered, "Legally he has not committed any crimes. Senator Amadala and myself checked the Republic laws on the way back to Coresaunt. He agreed to meet with the Jedi Council."
Faiz sighs before saying, "Can we get this over with because I want to head home and pretend that this dumb conflict never happened."
Master Kenobi chuckled before saying, "Well he definitely has a sense of humour," that was when his communicator beeped and he stepped away and speaks privately with the other end of the line. Master Kenobi finished speaking on his communicator before returning to the group and saying, "We should organise the council to speak with Junk Wolf, because apparently Senator Organa wishes to speak with him."
Faiz sighs before rubbing his helmeted face and says, "Great I am going to be here longer then I wanted," he cheers in sarcasm before Ahsoka grabs his arm and pulls him after the Master Jedi onto the transport that will take them to the Jedi Temple. Masato driving his bike on board while Accel just walks on board. The Wolf Blade flew after them as they flew away.
Four Clover Bar-Coresaunt lower levels-That moment
Five human bounty hunters sat in a bar with a single man with a patchy beard and goatee who was mixing a drink before pouring the milk like drink where it was poured into a glass for the youngest male bounty hunter. The other four bounty hunters enjoy some drink around a holographic pedestal that had a man appear as a full size was the king of Chorus appeared as a blue hologram. The King spoke, "I have a mission for you. Two individuals' holds a set of transformation gear in the form of belts. Retrieve them and their wielders alive. They are located in the Jedi Temple," the young Bounty Hunter turns slightly at that detail as King continues, "You may kill any and all Jedi that try to get in your way."
The young Bounty Hunter then asks, "Does this mean we are joining the Confederacy?"
King smirks and says, "Yes, but we need those Gears. Do your kings will," he gave a grandeurs gesture before the hologram turned off.
The bar tender frowns before saying, "Isn't it against our law to get involved with a conflict of this scale? What do you think Yuuto?"
Yuuto the youngest Bounty Hunter drinking at the bar, frowns before saying, "I don't know Naoya, perhaps there is more to this job then we have been told."
Naoya the Bar tender whispers to Yuuto, "Watch at a distance. The Ancient agreement to still in effect, and it is a death sentence to reveal yourself to them," Yuuto nods in understanding while the other four bounty hunters shakes their heads at the 'Weak' Bar tender.
Jedi Temple-Outside the Jedi Council room-An hour later.
Faiz waited outside the Jedi Council chamber with Ahsoka while Masato appear impatient as he paced back and forth. Masato then starts speaking, "What is taking them so long?"
Ahsoka replies with, "They are getting both Master Skywalker and Master Luminaras' opinion on the two of you," Masato gives Ahsoka an innocent smile before Ahsoka continued, "Besides Junk Wolf is the one with plans for after his meeting with the council."
Faiz snorts before saying, "Yeah well I just want to get this over with," that was when Skywalker steps out and points his thumb into the room while glaring at Faiz. Faiz stands and walks into the chamber to find the majority of the Masters there while two were holograms. Faiz looked around the room before asking, "Do I get a chair or are you lot just going to have me stand like an idiot?"
Yoda, Kenobi and the Togruta Hologram, concealing their sense of humour while the rest of the council apparently kept themselves neutral. Windo spoke, "I will keep this brief, we would like you to give us any information that you have on Seperatists."
Faiz nods in understanding before reaching behind himself and handing Windo a pad and says, "That has all the plans that Dooku was given by his 'master' along with Grievous' plans for the next six months."
Windo looked at the different details before saying, "Interesting; How do we know this is legitimate?"
"You don't, and I don't care," Faiz states, "If you want more just access the Confederacy's Computer systems without them knowing. You will get all the information supplied to the droids. Along with catching the droids orders when they receive them," the Jedi was shocked with his knowledge.
Master Kenobi asks, "How intermit are you with Seperatist technology?"
"They stole some information from me, made it so I could find it," Faiz admitted.
The Jedi Masters all freeze at that before Master Windo asks, "Master Luminara mentioned a contract."
Faiz nods before saying, "It is all on that Pad," Faiz stares at Windo which surprisingly to the powerful Jedi to become unnerved. Faiz looks at the ACCEL WATCH and says, "If you don't mind I have another appointment," he turns to leave and was not stopped as he left the room.
Master Kenobi stands and says, "I believe we should make the offer for him to join us," when everyone looked at him he concluded with, "Every engagement when facing Junk Wolf directly, there battle was solved without issue. There wasn't any lasting conflict. Our intelligence gathering has found that Titus has been thriving, even growing plants that was not thought possible to be grown. We saw the recording of the Ultimate Race, he could have won easily and yet he helped Padawan Tano before doing it anyway."
All the masters nod before Master Mundii speaks, "So what exactly are you suggesting?"
His reply was interrupted by Skywalker entering the room with Masato saying, "You wanted to speak with me?"
Master Kenobi frowns before asking, "We didn't call for you."
Skywalker then growls while he says, "So you didn't order Ahsoka to take the Sith to the Senate?" Kenobi shakes his head in the negative, "I have to go."
"Skywalker," Mace Windo starts, "leave them be for the moment."
Entrance to the Jedi Temple-That moment
Faiz and Ahsoka walked down the steps side by side past several temple guards. Faiz looked over his shoulder before saying, "Well we should get to the Senate, Skywalker is going to be pissed when he finds out that your bosses didn't order you to take me to the Senate."
Ahsoka shakes her head before asking, "Why?"
"Because I have never been to this planet and hoped that you could be my guide for a bit," Faiz answered as they reached a transport Taxi. Accel stopped it from moving before getting in. Faiz looks at Accel before asking, "You want to come to?" Accel nodded before Faiz continued, "Senate building," he tells the driver before it drives away.
What they did not know is that the five bounty hunters had seen them while riding hover bikes, the apparent leader smirks and says, "Let's follow them, less weak Jedi to get in the way."
Yuuto frowns before saying, "Where is he going?"
The leader simply says, "It does not matter, we will take our true forms and attack him and take that belt. The other should come to his aid." They all followed the Taxi at a distance all the way to the Senate building.
Faiz and Accel walks with Ahsoka through the entrance of the Senate Building only for Faiz to be stopped by a Senate Guard who says, "I am sorry but you cannot take weapons into the Senate."
"What about the Jedi that I am with," Faiz questioned while several guards surrounded him. Faiz sighs before grabbing the cylinder on his waist and saying, "Flashlight," flashing the guard in the face. He then grabs the box like device on his hip and another flash is projected on the guard before he shows a holographic image as he says, "Camera." Faiz then grabbed the Faiz Phone and says, "Communication device," placing it next to his head before saying, "Look I am expected and would like to get it over with," Faiz places the device back on his belt and past the Guard while Accel follows him.
Ahsoka frowns before saying, "Sorry we are in a rush, if anything happens I will take responcibilty," she then runs after Accel and Faiz who speaks with the droids and get directed by said droid where the office was so he could wait for the Senate to get out of session. They walk through the Senate building until they reach Senator Organa's office. Accel stands next to the door while Faiz reaches the table with some fruits where Faiz grabs a large spherical red fruit and takes a bite. Ahsoka sighs and asks, "Okay what is the deal with your gear?"
Faiz smirks under his helmet and says, "Years of work," He leans back on his seat and says, "and research. So 'Miss' Tano, ever been to the the Senate building before?"
Ahsoke sighs in annoyance before saying, "I was here with Master Skywalker after meeting you," Ahsoka then glares at Faiz as he lazily relaxes in the Senator's meeting room. Ahsoka stands in patience as she says, "You should not be so disrespectful of Senator Organa's office."
Faiz shrugs before taking his helmet off and taking a bite from the fruit and swallows to say, "We don't know how long the Senate will be in session. When this is done I am going back to my hide out."
"Hide out?" Ahsoka questioned simply.
Faiz frowns before saying, "Well you could call it that or my lab, dog house or home, but frankly it is not. Look I get that you were probably asked to get information from me, but I just want to forget that this confict was even happening."
Ahsoka frowns before taking a seat next to Faiz to ask, "Why are you so resistant to the War, you do realise that people are being killed because of it."
"Simple," Faiz says while staring at the fruit in his hand and then turning to Ahsoka to say, "Because this is not a war, at least by definition of the Republic," Ahsoka stared at him in confusion before he continues, "Did you know that the Confederacy has been opening channels so that the spokesman of the Confederacy could speak with the Chancellor directly in hopes of ending this war peacefully?" Ahsoka shook her head in the negative as Faiz continued, "Even succeeded in contacting the Chancellor directly when he was alone in his office. The man straight up walked out of his office so to not speak with them and even had the audacity to get a technician in to block the signal they were using while the Spokesman was speaking to him in front of the entire Confederacy Court."
Ahsoka frowns before saying, "My Master always said that he was a kind and wise man, even if he was a Senator."
Faiz finished the fruit before saying, "The Spokesman was assassinated a day later by a group of clones. Dooku took them down and was named the new Spokesman and it had been decided that the Spokesman's location was to remain a secret from all. The Court has been arguing whether to open peace talks since then for the last three years."
"Well then there is hope to end this war," a human male with a black thin cut beard spoke from the door with a well dress Rodian and Senator Amadala wearing a blue dress.
"Senators," Ahsoka stands and bows in greeting while Faiz just waves from the chair.
The human Senator takes a seat to the side of Faiz as the Rodian and Senator Amadala sit opposite Faiz and Ahsoka. The Human Senator speaks, "I am Senator Organa, this is my colleague Senator Onaconda Farr and I believe that you already met Senator Amadala."
"Sup," Faiz says in boredom as he leans back.
Senator Farr looks at him in confusion before asking, "You were a member of the Seperatist, correct?"
"Nope, hired help," Faiz answered before staring at the ceiling and tapping his helmet at his hip.
"My apologies, we were hoping for some insight on the Seperatist in hopes of ending this war," Faiz snorted at what Senator Farr said, who then continued with the question, "You think war is funny?"
"Nope, it is a horrible waste of time when all that was really needed was to sit down and talk," Faiz answered while crossing his arms, "What I found funny was that you consider this armed conflict a war. Normally both sides have to accept that they are fighting a legitimate opponent and considering that most of your Senate refuses to even consider them an actual government which makes the Republic consider the Confederacy as a group of terrorists. If you considered actually accepting they are a government it would mean that the Banking Clans, the Trade Federation and all the other planetary governments supplying both sides 'War' criminals. Which by the way would mean that the Kimnoeans would have to accept an 'IOU' debt from the government or be subject to the same crimes as those selling to both sides. Your Laws pretty much state it as so."
Senator Amadala frowns before asking, "What exactly are you saying?"
Faiz looks to her and says, "The Senate wouldn't have to vote on matters such as troop deployments or other military battle planning in a public venue, while also removing Emergency powers from the Chancellor. So if you feel up to it, may I suggest that in the next Senate Meeting you call for a vote stating that the Confederacy be considered its own government. Then give them the laws of war with the Republic," he hands Senator Organa a tablet with a list of laws and regulations for war time Republic before saying, "And you wonder why the Confederacy believes that the Republic is corrupt, when you lot let criminals decide what to do."
Senator Amadala asks, "How do we know that you are not trying to sabotage the Senate?"
Faiz looks at her with eyes that said 'are you stupid' before he says, "Look I want nothing to do with this war. As soon as this war is over I can go and visit all of the planets and other places I want to go to."
Ahsoka simply asks, "Such as?"
Faiz frowns before saying, "There is a couple thousand places to choose from, I can probably only do about a hundred," he rubs his chin before saying, "Only one more to find and," he suddenly looked to Ahsoka and says, "Stop doing that."
Ahsoka looked at him strangely before asking, "I am not doing anything."
"Stop asking questions, for some reason you are making me comfortable enough to answer them honestly," Faiz grabbed his helmet and placed it on after that statement before he says, "I am leaving now, enjoy dying in a pointless death."
Faiz stands and starts walking away quickly while the helmet conceals a panicked look on his face. Ahsoka stands and apologizes to the Senators after rushing after Faiz. Accel looks to the Senators and simply says, "Have a nice day," before leaving the room.
Senator Organa looks over the Republic laws that have not changed for a hundred years. Specific Laws that basically state the following;
-It is legal to own a slave but not buy or sell a slave.
-When war is declared any one found to be supplying the enemy while part of the governing body opposite the Enemy is declared a criminal due to the crime of 'War Profiting.'
-That all debts are to be paid after the war.
-The Senate has no say in military matters.
-And that the Chancellor is replaced with an acting group to reduce the time of Senate votes.
Senator Organa frowns before saying, "It appears that the Senate is clearly not following the law in this conflict," he turns to the other Senator and says, "We need to organise a meeting with our fellow Senators," while directing them to read the pad. Senator Amadala covered her mouth in shock as she continued to read.
"I had no idea about any of this," Senator Amadala says with a frown and a slight tear growing in her eye when she realised the number of deaths could have been avoided.
Front Hall to the Senate Building-(The area in SW Ep 3 when Anikin meets with Padme.)
Faiz continued to walk out the Senate building with Ahsoka quickly following and asking questions as Accel slowly follows at a distance. Faiz increased his pace as Ahsoka reached next to him. After the third time that happened Ahsoka ran behind him and asks, "Why are you running away?"
"Because I want to get off world," Faiz answered as they reach outside and Faiz stopped in a large area, crossing his arms and staring into the sky. The people around them avoided the three as Faiz tapped his foot impatiently waiting.
Faiz was annoyed as he waited for something while staring to the sky as Ahsoka asks, "So where are you going to go?"
"To my secret place," Faiz unconsciously answered before growling at himself. Faiz started tapping impatiently before saying, "Where is R4G3R, he was meant to be here by now."
With R4G3R
Skywalker and a unit of clone engineers were trying to get inside the Wolf Blade was cutting equipment as Skywalker was getting bandaged up on the upper arm due to cutting himself with the deflected beam of his light sabre. Above the Wolf Blade is several gunships stopping the craft from leaving while Obi-won Kenobi had a hand on his face shaking his head in disappointment and humour having been privy to his former Padawan's light sabre to suddenly be deflected back at him.
With Faiz
Faiz continued to tap away with his fingers and foot while Ahsoka spoke again, "What would it take to get you to join the Jedi?"
"Force Powers," Faiz answered as he continued to look through to the sky.
Ahsoka waves her hand at Faiz and say, "You will work with the Jedi."
Faiz sighs and says, "Not using Force Powers on me," he looks over at Ahsoka and adds, "And I am insulted that you even tried to use that on someone with my level of intelligence. I am not weak willed or mentally deficient," Faiz then thought sadly 'Yet.'
Ahsoka sighs and says, "Sorry. Frankly your help would probably cause the 'Conflict' to conclude sooner than later."
Faiz shrugs and was about to comment when he suddenly turn to the side before grabbing Ahsoka and jumping out the way of an explosion. The crowd screamed in terror while Ahsoka was dazed under Faiz. Laughter was heard as from the smoke as Five grey creatures. The apparent leader at the front was a humanoid hawk with cape. The one to his right was a humanoid spider, while the one on the left appears to be an elephant, the forth is a large fisted bull while the last appears to be a horse holding a sword. The one in the front says, "Talk about weak, to think the King has ordered us to retrieve."
"King?" Ahsoka questioned before she was suddenly flipped to the side and thrown through the air and into Accel's arms while Faiz used his Faiz Phone to shoot the five grey monsters.
Faiz then dodged a sudden attack from the Spider's web that tried to bind Faiz who rolled out the way before a set of bladed feathers stabbed into the ground. Faiz took cover at a set of stairs. Faiz avoided more feathers before he looked up to see Ahsoka attacking them only for the Horse's Sword surprised her by catching her light sabre with the grey blade. Horse forced Ahsoka on the defensive knocking her back.
Faiz was concerned for Ahsoka but had to avoid the attacks of the Grey Monsters. Faiz decided he needed to make a plan, "So, What has he promised you, Orphnochs?"
Hawk laughs before saying, "What we deserve and once we get you back to King, he shall punish you for your betrayal."
Faiz frowns under his helmet as the Senate Guards open fire on the Orphnochs before Bull and Spider attacked them, the blasts doing nothing to the creatures. Faiz growls before looking to Accel who nodded before charging the two. Accel's back extended allowing Accel to take flight before kicking Bull back before the wheel extended to the end of its left hand and spun quickly as a Gatling blasts hitting the Spider. Bull and Spider focused on Accel who shouts to the Senate Guards, "Evacuate the civilians!" before taking off with both Bull and Spider. Accel reached ten stories into the air before flipping down wards and spinning at high speed back down to the ground before letting them go to crash into the ground leaving large craters.
Faiz nods before focusing on Hawk and Elephant, as he sees Horse duelling Ahsoka, before he rolled out the way to avoid another set of bladed feathers.
Ahsoka was forced into a blade lock as she was pushed into a pillar, she grits her teeth before Horse spoke with Yuuto's voice, "You are very skilled with a blade, but I request that you stand down while we claim what belongs to our king," his tone was sad.
Ahsoka's eyes widened before she asks, "And this king is?"
"The Steward of Chorus, King Rozubusshu," Yuuto states from his shadow that Ahsoka just notices to take the form of a naked Yuuto.
Ahsoka shakes the thought from her head and asks, "Why does this Steward want Junk Wolf?"
Yuuto's head turns slightly in confusion before saying, "That is a strange name, we were sent to capture him and the one who has the Kaixa Belt."
Ahsoka's eyes widened before she uses the Force to push him away only for Ahsoka to gain a metre of space. Ahsoka's eyes widened when she asks, "What?"
Yuuto sighs before saying, "Force powers don't work with those who are a void in the Force."
Ahsoka calms down before getting ready to fight again before asking, "What is so special about a belt?"
Yuuto was silent before admitting, "it is Rider Gear, the closest thing to the ultimate weapon."
"A high tech Mandalorian suit is the ultimate weapon?" Ahsoka questioned.
"It is when it can kill something like me rather quickly then what a Jedi can," Yuuto left himself open for Ahsoka's next attack only to see all the damage repair itself. Ahsoka's eyes widened before she focused on defending herself.
Faiz sighs as he avoided the bladed feathers only for Elephant to grow in size while Hawk took to the air. Elephant charged causing Faiz to dodge the destruction of the stairs before he had to jump away when the feathers came to attack again. The people screamed in terror as they avoid the Elephant. Faiz grabbed the cylinder on his waist and growls as he says, "Damn it, only going to be able to take down three at best," he inserted the chip on the to of his Faiz Phone onto the device and proceeded to attach it to his right ankle. Faiz then opened the phone and presses the button on the top of the button pad. –EXCEED CHARGE- Faiz then kicks his right foot towards Elephant creating a red cone of energy before jumping high into the air. Faiz does a flip and proceeded to jump into the cone paralysing Elephant who screams in pain before Faiz went through him and rolled as Elephant has a symbol of a circle with a long line through it on an angle before bursting into blue fire and then turning to dust.
Hawk in the sky above laughs before saying, "So it is true, the legendary armour exists. Screw King I will have the power of the Champion! GET HIM!"
Spider shoots what appears to be a rope of webbing that expanded into a net that Faiz rolled out the way of as the Bull slams his fists into the ground causing the Senate to shake in terror. Faiz grabbed the cylinder before taking the chip and returning it to his waist. He places the chip back into the phone before taking his phone and pressing a series of buttons before –BURST MODE- he aimed at Spider where multiple shots hit Spider before he presses another set of buttons and shoots Bull –BEAM MODE- where a red beam of energy knocked Bull back. Faiz rolled away from a swipe from Spider before pressing another code and then pressing the EXCEED button, -PENETRATE SHOT EXCEED CHARGE- Faiz aimed at Spider and pulled the trigger while jumping back and shooting Spider resulting in Faiz dodging Bull and Hawk while blasting a hole through Spider who after lightly bursting into blue flame before turning to dust.
Faiz breathed deeply before asking, "Do you surrender yet?"
Hawk roars and proceeds to attack Faiz with more feathers while Bull charges with his horns to find tackle Faiz who dodged. Faiz returned the Faiz Phone into the slot before he reached the box on his waist and pulled out the camera and placed the chip inside where the Handle dropped so that he could grab the handle with his right hand.
Bull charged at high speed before Faiz pressed the EXCEED button on the Faiz Phone before dropping under Bull and the red energy extended from the belt through Faiz's right arm and punched Bull in the waist resulting in the Bull freezing as the Faiz symbol burned onto its body before it burst into blue flames before turning into dust over Faiz.
Faiz stands before the Faiz Phone started beeping and then the transformation failed. Junk Wolf fell to his hands and knees before Hawk landing in front of him before kicking him in the chin. Junk Wolff rolled to the side as Hawk tried to grab the Faiz Gear.
Ahsoke rolled under Yuuto's legs before Yuuto turns around to see Hawk attacking Junk Wolf and he froze at the sight of Junk Wolf and whispered, "Takumi?" Hawk managed to catch Junk Wolf by the throat where Yuuto changes his grip of his sword so that it was back handed.
Junk Wolf glares at Hawk as he is raised into the air as Hawk says, "This is mine," Hawk goes to grab the Faiz Gear only for Yuuto's sword to suddenly went through his back. Hawk dropped Junk Wolf who just fell on his back in exhaustion as Hawk turns to Yuuto and says, "Yuuto you traitor!"
Yuuto simply replies, "We were tricked, you just tried to kill the prince!" Yuuto transformed into his human form in front of hundreds of different alien species.
Hawk laughs before saying, "Please, he is no prince, He should have open the vault and brought glory to our people!"
Junk Wolf laughs before saying, "Glory? You are an idiot, our clan was never warriors, we were weapons," Junk Wolf then took out the Faiz Phone and shot Yuuto's sword that sent a current through Hawk that disrupted Hawk slowly before slowly falling apart to the ground. Junk Wolf falls down to the ground and sighs before Yuuto's shadow appeared over him. Junk Wolf sighs as he looks at Yuuto before saying, "So you are probably wondering 'How am I still alive?' Simple you can't kill someone who was not there in the first place," Yuuto gave him a hand up only to punch Junk Wolf back down. "Ow," Junk Wolf says from the ground. Accel then returned holding it's severed left arm and head, that caused Junk Wolf to sigh in annoyance.
Ahsoka then made her presence known before asking, "What the hell is going on, first you attack us, now you are our friend? What is going on?"
Yuuto answered, "I did not know that Takumi was the one in the Faiz Gear."
Junk Wolf sighs before saying, "Yuuto, change my name to Junk Wolf."
"My apologies my prince," Yuuto says causing Junk Wolf to sigh in annoyance.
"Prince?" Ahsoka questioned.
"Yes, 'Junk Wolf' is the crown prince of our clan," Yuuto answered honestly as a bunch of people arrived to see Junk Wolf pinching the bridge of his nose as news groups arrived to speak with Junk Wolf who silently started walking away to avoid dealing with people. Yuuto followed after him quickly with Accel and Ahsoka. Yuuto simply asks, "Where have you been for the last five years?"
"Research," Junk Wolf answered simply before reaching the Taxi area where they see Kenobi and Skywalker arriving with a bunch of clones, and finally the Wolf Blade arrived causing Junk Wolf to shout, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" The cockpit opened to reveal R4G3R was lifted into view before beeping, "What do you mean that an idiot tried to break in with a light sabre? That was dumb."
"Hey!" Skywalker shouts before asking, "What the hell is that ship made of?"
Junk Wolf sees the bandage on his left arm and says, "It is a molecular composite, changes to defend itself."
Skywalker's eyes widened before he says, "A material that could deflect light sabres could save millions of lives if we can make the clone armour out of it," only for Junk Wolf to laugh loudly.
Junk Wolf calmed down before saying, "Sorry, this is the smallest vessel that can even use it. Oh and you need a dedicated computer system to control it," Junk Wolf took the Faiz Phone into what appeared to be a dedicated charger. Junk Wolf calms down before leaning on the Wolf Blade while Ahsoka started explaining what happened outside the Senate building and what she knew.
After hearing everything Skywalker grabbed Junk Wolf shirts before saying, "Why were they after you?" he glares hard at Junk Wolf.
Yuuto answered, "The Steward of the Clan has been after the Faiz Gear for the last four years. He ordered us to retrieve it only he failed to inform us that that real owner of the Gear already had it."
Kenobi frowns before giving a calming smile and says, "Where are our manners, I am Master Obi-wan Kenobi," he gestured to Skywalker, "My former Padawan, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his student Ahsoka Tano."
Yuuto looked to Skywalker and says, "You have taught Miss Tano very well, she is a strong fighter."
Ahsoka blushes in embarrassment before Skywalker gets in his face and says, "Who are you and why did you attack my student?"
Yuuto remained strangely calm as he answered, "As I said, due to lack of information we attack Junk Wolf where your student defended him long enough for me to discover the truth. I apologize if my actions have caused a problem." Junk Wolf sighs at Yuuto's respectful answer.
Junk Wolf started to climb into his ship when Kenobi speaks, "The Jedi Council would like to speak with you again. Not because of you getting Padawan Tano to follow you to the Senate building, but wanting to hire you to join our side."
Junk Wolf sighs in annoyance before he says, "Look I only worked with Dooku because he offered to teach me and I only accepted when he paid so that I could leave the shit hole I was stuck in. Sorry that I don't like the idea of joining an armed conflict between a government that is has bought an entire army to fight a small group of Senate decided Terrorist, by the same people who are selling them their weapons at the same time as finding ways to line their pockets with credits and avoiding being sent to prison," Junk Wolf started walking away when Skywalker stopped him with his light sabre to the throat. Junk Wolf looked at Skywalker like he was an idiot before walking through the light sabre beam only leaving a grey mark that healed while changing from grey back to creamy skin. Junk Wolf simply says as he gets into his ship only for Ahsoka to cuff his non robotic arm to her arm with binders.
Junk Wolf looks at Ahsoka who says, "Speak with the Jedi Council and I will remove the cuffs."
A loud groan of annoyance scared many people that day before Ahsoka and Kenobi took Junk Wolf, Yuuto and a damaged Accel returned to the Jedi Temple while Skywalker rushed into the Senate building stating that he would explain the situation with the Chancellor.
Planet Chorus-A Day later-Orphnoch Throne room.
The Steward Chorus, Rōzubusshu sat on a large elevated throne, wearing ancient gold Mandalorian armour with an open helmet. Below him on a simple throne normally reserved for the Steward only instead the Queen of Chorus is currently sitting on the Steward Throne with a frown and a guard on each side. The two were watching a news report of Faiz fighting the squad of Orphnoch he sent to retrieve the Faiz and Kaixa Gear, only to see betrayal and failure. The Steward stands before extending double energy blades from his gauntlet before cutting the pillar next to the throne before saying, "Those failures and all because of that traitor!"
The Queen was silent as she stands and starts leaving the room to the Steward's tantrum as the two guards followed her, when no one could see her face she gives a devilish smirk.
The Steward then shouts to some of his remaining guards, "I want the traitors, a million credits for the Horse and the wielder of Kaixa. ONE BILLION FOR FAIZ ALIVE."
The Queen heard that and frowns before saying, "Pathetic little man," the guards suddenly push her forward before she growled like a tiger and then returns to walking through the palace and past angular laser like artwork and into a chamber with a large bed and no weapons. Except that she does have a hidden communicator.
Jedi Temple-outside the Jedi Council-that moment
Junk Wolf was standing next to Accel with his head reattached, with Junk Wolf rewired the arm back into the body of Accel. Ahsoka stands next to Junk Wolf and limply let her arm move easily. Yuuto sat next to Accel opposite Junk Wolf.
Junk Wolf's race coat was mostly off while it hanged limply from his right arm as Ahsoka refused to ditch him, from the day before. Which was problematic when Junk Wolf was 'forced' to share a room with Ahsoka and Yuuto. So Junk Wolf let Ahsoka use the bed while he slept on the ground next to it. Now after spending a day waiting in the temple for the Council to be ready to speak with them, which resulted in Ahsoka discovering Junk Wolf's secret tool 'box' or what it really is, a hidden compartment in his arm.
At the time Ahsoka had asked, "Is that how you get out of binders so easily?"
Junk Wolf's hand transformed into a welding torch before saying, "No, if it was that easy there would be no point," before he sealed Accel's head back to his body.
Eventually Junk Wolf sealed Accel's arm to its body before finally being allowed entry into the chamber with Accel. They were let into the chamber to find that several more of the Jedi have found themselves off world since the attack yesterday. Master Luminara Unduli frowns as she observes the two non Jedi. Master Mace Windo was the first to speak, "We apologize for the extended wait, we had to organise troop redeployments. The Seperatists," he looks to Junk Wolf's face to see an annoyed scowl on his face before he continued, "They have attacked several of our outposts at the same time and we needed to move our troops."
Junk Wolf frowns before saying, "If you think that I know why you, would be mistaken as I have never been a part of 'war' planning."
Master Kenobi nods before saying, "We understand that. We only are here to discuss a possible contract between you and the Republic."
Junk Wolf sighs loudly before asking, "I already told you that I am not interested, what makes you think a day will cause me," That was when R4G3R suddenly barged in with a group of Sentinels as the crazy droid arrived with his phone and it was making noise. Junk Wolf took the phone and answered the call, "Yeah," Junk Wolf raised a finger as the Jedi tried to speak with him. "I can talk," he silently listened to the call when he hears Dooku's voice say, 'The Steward of Chorus has decided to place a bounty on you of one billion,' Junk Wolf was silent with wide eyes before he shouts, "HOW THE HELL DOES HE EVEN HAVE A BILLION?"
Master Kenobi used his force powers to take the phone and places it to his ear and says, "Hello?" with humour. Junk Wolf pinched his nose before Dooku says, 'Kenobi, I see that you have Junk Wolf with you, can you please put him back on.' Kenobi stands and moves the Phone away from his face and says, "Dooku," he accidently presses the button to activate the speaker.
Dooku speaks again, "I was just talking with Junk Wolf to inform him of the Bounties placed on him and his fellow Rider, along with the Horse Orphnoch. I take it that I am speaking to you with the council I presume?"
Master Yoda speaks, "What are your intentions Dooku?"
"I have nothing to say to you all, I was simply relaying a message from a friend," Dooku stated before saying, "Junk Wolf has been placed under a bounty of One Billion Credits and you have to come in alive for them to claim it." Junk Wolf walks over to the entrance before punch the wall with his right human arm breaking the wall, creating cuts on his hand the healed as the markings on his face become slightly more detailed and a second set start to appear before stopping Ahsoka's eyes widened at the damage, the speed of healing and the tattoos on his facing growing. Dooku then says, "I suggest you Jedi look into protecting Junk Wolf, I would hate for the Seperatists to gain access to the greatest weapons in existence because he was taken from you."
The call was closed as Junk Wolf slammed his head into the wall in annoyance as he breathed deeply as Ahsoka tried to ask, "What did Dooku mean when he said greatest Weapons in existence?"
The Jedi Council, Jedi Padawan, Sentinels and Yuuto listened quietly, "My ancestors took and sealed weapons that have come close to destroying the Universe in one way or the other. I know how to get to the truly dangerous items are sealed and only I have any chance of getting access to them in the vault. Don't even try to get me to give them to you currently I cannot even get to them."
Master Unduli asks, "The creatures that attacked you," she looked to Yuuto who did not flinch at the name, "Are they a danger to the Republic?"
"Only if they decide to start recruiting," Yuuto answered.
"Can we expect another army?" Master Windu questioned.
"No," Junk Wolf answered, "Not that type of recruitment. To even come close to such an idea, would require an entire population of several planets and several thousand Orphnochs."
Yuuto then adds his two cents, "Which is impossible due to the nature of our clan, we are barely a thousand strong."
"Not helping Yuuto," Junk Wolf states.
"My appologies, my prince," Yuuto apology results in Junk Wolf slamming his head into the wall and Yuuto took a second to think and says, "My mistake."
"Look if you all do not mind I am going to spend the rest of my life in hiding away from them," Junk Wolf sighs before lifting the Binder that attached him to Ahsoka before saying, "Can I leave now?"
Ahsoka frowns before saying, "You want to leave when you have a bounty worth a hundred Jedi? You realise that you are safe here, right?"
Junk Wolf sighs before saying, "I am as safe here, as inside a nest of Bull Tancors on Felucia. I take my ship and pick a direction and no one will find me."
Master Yoda then asks, "Are you sure?" Junk Wolf looked over to the small Grand Master of the Jedi, who then continued, "Even I know the legend of the Vault," Yoda stands and slowly walks over to Junk Wolf before whacking Junk Wolf's leg with his staff and says, "If they tried how long would those weapons be safe? How long can you expect to avoid them if they learn the true secrets in that Vault? How long till they realise that they don't even need you?" Yoda glares at Junk Wolf before his face softens before he says, "That power is a responsibility that you need to keep," poking Junk Wolf in the chest knocking out a Sphere holocron from his coat before Yoda took out another from his robe. "Recognise this, yes?"
Junk Wolf gritted his teeth before saying, "You should not have that."
"Yes, knowledge inside, very dangerous," Yoda admitted before using the Force to collect Junk Wolf's Sphere before opening the two at the same time. The room darkens, the Holograms vanish and the remaining Jedi and Yuuto see equations, images, stories and blueprints, along with information suddenly combined to create new equipment along with a design for the Faiz Gear. The information then vanished before Yoda gave him the Spheres and the Faiz Phone, and says, "Perhaps, you can consider working with the Jedi to recover the rest?"
"You mean last," Junk Wolf muttered as the Holograms returned. Junk Wolf looked at Yoda and says, "Let me think about it okay," he goes to leave only to remember that Ahsoka was attached to his arm. So he just walks with her struggling to keep her footing.
Yuuto frowns before asking, "I am not sure if you will accept any help, but I am hood with a blade."
Master Unduli then asks in response, "How did you get to Coresaunt?"
"I have been living here for the last three years, we were not hiding," Yuuto answered before he remembers, "I better contact our handler and tell him the Prince is still alive."
Master Kenobi simply asks, "Why do you call him prince?"
"Because he is the heir to our Ancient Mandalorian Clan," Yuuto answered shocking those present as he continued, "Our left the Mandalorian culture before the Sith Wars. Our Clan left due to desires of being independent. We disagreed with their desires so we left."
With Junk Wolf and Ahsoka-Main hall of the Jedi Temple.
Junk Wolf continued to walk, dragging Ahsoka with him, while short distance behind, Accel and R4G3R, past several Jedi. Ahsoka then says, "Will you slow down."
"Will you remove the Binder that you put on me?" Junk Wolf countered.
Ahsoka growls and says, "After you make the choice to join or not," she trips and begins to be fully dragged on the floor by Junk Wolf.
Junk Wolf eventually walks all the way to the Duelling arena to see several Younglings training in the starting forms of Light Sabre combat. Junk Wolf just watches the younglings as they were trained by an Utapaun Jedi Knight. Who patiently watched as the Younglings learned the basics and helped them make adjustments that they needed. Eventually they saw the younglings being placed in the stands to the side before saying, "Now I have organised a spar between two Jedi Knights to demonstrate their control with the Light Sabre. In time you may be given the chance to make your own, but remember your Light Sabre is your life, with it you can protect yourself and those around you."
Junk Wolf huffs at that, which many would consider that a mistake when Anakin Skywalker was behind you, "You disagree, SITH?"
The Younglings looked to Junk Wolf with slight fear only for Junk Wolf to calm them down by saying, "I am not a sith, jeeze we have been over this," Junk Wolf walked into the room and took a seat opposite the Younglings.
The Utapaun speaks, "Knight Skywalker, I thank you for donating your time from the war to assist with Light Sabre training."
Skywalker frowns before saying, "Yes, I have also organised a training simulation for the Younglings to train with afterwards," he inserts a data chip into the training equipment before saying, "In my battles fighting droids they have an almost random attack pattern when using blasters, with this program where you will learn to 'catch' blaster fire. Begin," with that the program started when Skywalker activated his Light Sabre, while he started counting his swings as he catches the strikes.
Junk Wolf sighs before saying, "Wow, he is using B1 Battle droid combat patterns, amateur choice."
Skywalker finished his demonstration before asking Junk Wolf, "You think you can do better?"
"You mean making a simulation that would actually show a level of improvement?" Junk Wolf countered, "Not too difficult," Junk Wolf stands, drags Ahsoka with him and before opening the control panel before adjusting some wires and removing a circuit board and installing a small device before saying, "Would you like to try it?"
Skywalker gave a smug grin before saying, "I will have to ensure that you did not tamper with the safeties."
Junk Wolf nods returning to his seat with Ahsoka who was struggling to not release Junk Wolf with all the tugging and moving. Ahsoka sighs in annoyance before asking, "What exactly did you do?"
"Added an difficulty multiplier, it gets harder the longer you defend yourself," Junk Wolf answered as Skywalker began using the new simulator and proceeded to last for five minutes before suddenly the direction of attack was disrupted as suddenly two more training orbs attacked from behind. Junk Wolf smirks as Skywalker increased his pace at high speeds as suddenly a shot missed Skywalker completely before bouncing off the wall around the duelling arena and hitting Skywalker in the back, "In Battle you have to expect anything, even the impossible."
Skywalker was knocked off the arena platform before an automated voice says, -Heroic Difficulty high score, 206 bolts deflected input name.- Skywalker looked at a the arena and says, "Skywalker?" with that the training platform spoke again, -Heroic High Score Skywalker?-
Junk Wolf stands as Skywalker wipes away some sweat and says, "Now, as you can see, Skyguy here managed to deflect over two hundred shots. The reason is because he has experience in combat. Can anyone tell me what mistake that Knight Skywalker made?" Junk Wolf walked over tugging Ahsoka along as he looked to the Younglings.
A young male Togruta was the one to speak first, "You cheated," his voice quiet.
Junk Wolf smirks before saying, "Exactly!" shocking the younglings before he continued, "Skywalker expected the equipment to work in the same way it was designed, only that wasn't the case. Always expect the impossible, even if it is so unlikely as it can mean the difference between life and death."
"Ha," Skywalker sarcastically laughs to the side before saying, "This coming from the man who took a light sabre to the back only to stand back up. What are you an Immortal?"
"No, I am not," Junk Wolf says without turning to him, "Those who are eventually consider life pointless or vanish from the Universe all together," Junk Wolf is thoughtful before he says, "Not that I can blame them."
Skywalker stands before asking, "Think you can do better?" while pointing to the training equipment.
"No," Junk Wolf answered causing Skywalker to look smug before Junk Wolf added, "I have an anchor as a handicap," lifting up the hand that is attached to Ahsoka.
Ahsoka was silent for a second before suddenly slapping Junk Wolf with his own hand, before saying, "I am not a handicap."
Junk Wolf looks at her before saying, "I am right handed," before glaring at Ahsoka and adding, "One of us getting hit ends the training gear. So let I will place the equipment on 'Youngling' level which is the lowest intensity, have fun."
Junk Wolf then starts walking away with Ahsoka before Skywalker says, "Then clearly you are not strong enough."
Skywalker's Insult was met with laughter as Junk Wolf says, "Expecting to powerful through strength alone is pathetic, what it takes to become truly powerful is the bonds we make," he looks at Skywalker and says, "Your friendships you make, the ones you love and those you would give your life to protect," Junk Wolf reaches the exit of the room as the Younglings proceeded to try out the new equipment, "And by that definition I am weak," Junk Wolf stepped on a circular symbol on the Temple floor that suddenly vanished causing Junk Wolf and Ahsoka to fall. Ahsoka letting out a girly scream while Junk Wolf shouts up the hole, "FUCK MY LIFE!"
Skywalker ran after them before shouting, "Find out where this hole goes!" before jumping in and face planting on an invisible floor. Skywalker goes to his hands and knees while looking down, "What the-?" he taps the invisible floor that turns back into the symbol before he asks the other Jedi around him, "You saw that right?" and received stunned nods from the Jedi around them.
Kenobi and Master Yoda arrive with Yuuto in tow to see Anakin smacking the ground, "Is this a bad time?"
Skywalker would then tell them what had happened confusing the Council members before Yoda says, "This was sealed back when the Jedi took the Temple from the Sith, Long time ago. During the time of Darth Bane."
Kenobi frowns before saying, "This reminds me of all the trouble you caused me over the years my former Padawan," Skywalker scowls at the jab.
Yoda frowns as he watches Accel walk towards the Library before Yoda says, "Perhaps we should follow Junk Wolf's Droid as it is heading for the secret entrance to the Catacombs," they followed Accel as it stared at an old statue of a series of shapes before it adjusted the shaped statue before it turned into a statue of a Rancor. The statue suddenly split revealing a staircase.
With Junk Wolf and Ahsoka-Deepest depth of the Jedi Temple.
Junk Wolf and Ahsoka continued to fall, Ahsoka continues to scream while Junk Wolf appears bored. Eventually Junk Wolf asks, "Are you done? Because I see the bottom," he points down.
Ahsoka calms down enough to shout, "How are we going to land?"
"We don't," Junk Wolf answered as his ears was more sensitive then Ahsoka's hearing when suddenly they reached the base only to be elevated by a high powered Fan that levitated the two into the air. They floated for a couple seconds before the fan sparked and failed. The two fell rather awkwardly with a thud before Junk Wolf says as he starts to get up, "Why do I feel like someone wants to talk to me."
Junk Wolf and Ahsoka stand in pain before seeing a large door with glowing gold symbols and an overall dark feeling. Ahsoka says, "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Obviously," Junk Wolf states as he looks at the door before reading the symbols aloud, "Beyond these doors holds the power of DARTH BANE." Junk Wolf looks around before saying, "Great, we are in the vault of the thief."
Ahsoka looks around and says, "I only see one door."
"Yeah, probably here to perform a test," Junk Wolf replied before pointing up and saying, "We are probably not even in the Temple anymore," Ahsoka looked up to see to hole they fell through completely gone. Junk Wolf says, "You have your light sabre?"
Ahsoka looks to Junk Wolf as he transforms the Faiz Phone into a Blaster, Ahsoka draws her Lightsabre before asking, "Are we expecting danger?"
"If what I thing is inside," Junk Wolf took a deep breath before concluding the chapter, "Something that shouldn't be part of this universe anymore."
:End of Chapter Nine:
BEWARE THE Jolly WRAITH!
