Chapter 6 Lair of Grievous
As soon as Sean had become a Jedi he had sent an encrypted message to his droid R7 to secure his Sabre and erase all data on his work. Weapons, Ship, plans and so on in order to make sure the Separatists could never use it against him or the Republic.
Currently Sean, Revy and Master Fisto were coming up to a planet where the signal from the ship Argyus and Ventress stole to rescue the Viceroy. Revy was right Behind Sean as he piloted the ship.
"R7 contact Command let them know we're close to the beacon." Sean said getting multiple beeps from his droid. Suddenly Ahsoka and Luminara appeared in Hologram form.
"Master Luminara, We have tracked the location of our stolen ship to the vase system." Fisto said.
"So had you old Padawan, Nahdar Vebb. He's already on the surface." Luminara said.
"It'll be great to see Nahdar again." Fisto said looking forward to seeing his former student.
"I'll transmit the coordinates for the rendezvous point. And Master Fisto, sorry we let that slimy double-dealer." Ahsoka said.
"Relax Mango we'll have him back before you know it." Revy said making her get a tick mark from the Mango comment.
"What she means is this will be over in a few minutes." Sean said making Revy snicker.
"Good hunting." Ahsoka said as their transmission ended.
"Must you always be so rude?" Sean asked making her chuckle.
"Oh please you love it." Revy said making him roll his eyes in amusement before they landed on the ground that was covered in mist.
"Jesus Christ. This almost reminds me of that mist project that went south." Seans said barley seeing anything in front of him.
"Oh? What exactly happened?" Fisto asked curiously.
"One of the more fresh egg heads got cocky and blew up one of the stealth projects. Took us a week to clear that shit out." Revy said before they approached the others.
"Nahdar. Congratulations on passing the trials. I'm sorry the war prevented me from seeing your training through to the end." Fisto said.
"You were missed, master, but it is an honor to serve beside you as a knight." Nahdar said pulling his hood off before narrowing his eyes at Sean. "And you must be the Sith." Nahdar said.
"Actually Nahdar Sean was never truly a Sith. The whole time he was with Dooku he was spying on them to report back to the Republic." Fisto said.
"Oh?" Nahdar asked curiously.
"Ay. The Sith aren't really my thing. The Jedi remind me of the old days of my clan before they became corrupted." Sean said.
"Please you'll just..." Revy tried to say.
"Shut it." Sean said making her snicker. "Now I suggest we get this mission over with." Sean said.
"Allow me to show the way." Nahdar said using the force to move the fog out of the way revealing a large door.
"Nice." Revy said.
"Where are guards? I know Gunray he's not dumb enough to not have security." Sean said having a lot of experience with the greedy asshole.
"I agree something's not right. But lets not keep the Viceroy waiting." Fisto said as they walked through the area.
"You smell that?" Revy asked in disgust.
"That does not smell like droids." Sean said.
"Personal experience?" Revy asked teasingly.
"Oh fuck off." Sean said making her and the clones laugh before a loud roaring sound was heard. "Ok now I really want to get the Viceroy and the get the fuck outta here." Sean said.
"Hey listen." Revy said as they heard the Viceroy before they saw him in a chair with his back turned talking to some droids.
"Double shifts for everyone." Gunray said.
"Hello." Sean said gaining their attention while Gunray yelped in shock.
"Blast them!" Gunray yelled in fear before the battle droids fired at the Jedi and clones while Revy fired her bullets at the droids.
"Die Republic dogs!" One of the droids yelled before Sean grabbed the head and crushed it.
Nahdar slashed the last one before using the force to push the rest away.
"I didn't forget to teach you restraint did I?" Fisto asked Nahdar.
"I'm sorry Master. I got carried away." Nahdar said.
"Those who have power should restrain themselves from using it." Fisto said.
"Wheres the fun in that?" Revy asked.
"Use it to much and it will control you." Sean said.
"Exactly." Fisto said as they approached the viceroy.
"Lieutenant, did you get them?" Gunray asked.
"Not even fucking close." Revy said spinning the chair around only for them to come face to face with a hologram.
"You have nothing you Jedi fools! I welcome you to your doom!" Gunray laughed before his transmission ended before Sean picked up the tracking beacon on the chair.
"Well, that fucking figures. No wonder there weren't any guards out front." Revy said.
"I should have known Gunray wasn't here. At the first sight of us he would run off screaming like the coward he is." Fisto said.
Just as Sean was about to say something the Hologram of Dooku appeared and both looked at each other before widening their eyes.
"Sean? I thought you were dead. Yet, here you are alive and with the Jedi no less. What is the meaning of this?" Dooku asked in anger.
"Oh ho. So Ventress said I was killed did she? Fucking figures that spineless bitch. Sorry Dooku but the truth is I was never really loyal to the Separatists nor the Sith. I was spying on you the whole fucking time. I was going to leave after the Rescue mission but then Revy appeared on the cruiser and Ventress tried to kill her and well you can the rest. Next time you see that stupid bitch tell her the next time I see her she's fucking dead." Sean said making him sigh in disappointment knowing Ventress had just dug her own grave.
"A real shame since you had such promise. Now while the Viceroy is unavailable allow me to present you an alternative prize." Dooku said ending his transmission before the chair started beeping.
"I don't like this." Sean said.
"This has got to be a trap." Clone trooper Fil said.
"Looks like Dooku is trying to catch someone. And we are the bait." Fisto said.
"But who has this trap been set to catch? Shall we find out?" Nahdar asked before pressing the button and a door opened up. Walking inside they saw several doors opened that had statues of a warrior.
"Thats weird." Revy said.
"This place looks like a shrine to that strange warrior." Fisto said before they entered the next room and Fisto widened his eyes seeing body parts of Grievous. "This is the lair of General Grievous!" Fisto said in shock.
At this Nahdar pointed an accusing finger at Sean.
"You! You knew this was the lair of Grievous! You knew this was a trap the whole time trap!" Nahdar said accusingly making everyone look at him in surprise.
"Nahdar, I already told you Sean was never a Sith." Fisto said trying to calm him down.
"No Master! He's lying! I knew you couldn't..." Nahdar tried to say before Revy grabbed him by the neck and glared at him.
"Listen here fish fuck!" Revy yelled in annoyance.
"Enough." Sean said making them stop. "Nahdar. I swear to you on my life I was never allied with the Sith. Besides look at the evidence. Why would I give up intel to Separatist locations as well as plans and weapons? Why would I willingly offer to make stronger weapons for the Republic and Jedi? Besides I could have killed you in seconds since weapons of Science have little effect on me." Sean said giving him clear and reasonable facts making Nahdar think on this.
"Next time think before pointing fingers." Revy said as they walked into one of the rooms.
In the next room were several Jedi Lightsabers and Padawan braids.
"These must be trophies he's taken from the Jedi he's murdered. There are so many." Nahdar said in anger.
"Hmm. I never knew that talking trash can was this dangerous." Sean said holding a lightsaber in hand.
"Why would Dooku want to set a trap for his best General?" Fisto asked.
"I don't think this is as much a trap as it is a test. Think about it. We outnumber their victories despite the number disadvantage." Sean said.
"He does have a point." Nahdar said. "Maybe Dooku intends to use us as a test against Grievous." Nahdar said.
"You know." Revy said gaining their attention. "If metal head comes here we could use the element of surprise." Revy said.
"And end the war much sooner. Nice idea." Sean said making her grin.
"I have my moments." Revy said.
"Which are very few." Sean said teasingly making her growl in annoyance. "In all seriousness." Sean tried to say before R7 sent a message of Grievous's ship arriving. "If we're gonna do this we gotta do it now he's here." Sean said.
Soon enough Grievous entered his lair.
"Guards! Gor! Gor, where are you!" Grievous called out before Fisto and the clones emerged in the front while Nahdar and Revy emerged in the back.
"Welcome home, General. I'm afraid I must request your surrender." Fisto said making him growl.
"Jedi Scum." Grievous said activating his lightsabers before trying to slash them.
Revy quickly fired her guns at him but they were only making dents which made him growl in annoyance before trying to slash her before he was met with the blue blade of Sean's star saber much to his shock.
"YOU! You're working with the Republic dogs Traitor!" Grievous yelled in anger.
"I was never really a Sith or Separatist to begin with. And better to be a dog then some murdering bastard like you." Sean said making him growl.
"Fine then JEDI! I will enjoy adding all your lightsabers to my collection!" Grievous yelled as they engaged in a sword fight.
"Cables!" Fisto yelled getting the clones to fire cables at his feet making him groan before he managed to get in a cheep shot by kicked Sean's feat out and slashed his star saber to pieces.
"HEY! I WORK HARD ON THESE THINGS!" Sean yelled before pulling out a green lightsaber and attacked Grievous again and slashed off his legs making him growl before grabbing the ceiling.
"Hold him!" Revy yelled before Grievous tried to get away only for Nahdar to try and slash him but Grievous blocked him.
"Don't make me destroy you." Nahdar said making him growl and pushed him back and jumped to the ceiling losing one of the cables and one of the clones was pulled with him and Grievous grabbed him.
"Come and get me!" Grievous yelled running away as Fisto and the others followed him as he threw the clone at Nahdar.
"Cut him off!" Nahdar yelled rushing after him.
Grievous managed to elude the Jedi and killed two clones before he used a secret door to escape.
"Where'd that fucker go?" Revy asked.
"The clones got in the way. I could have taken him." Nahdar said.
"OY!" Sean yelled making him jump back in surprise. "Don't go blaming your men for this! We all failed got it!" Sean said making him lower his head in shame for his words.
"Let's take care of our wounded." Fisto said as they left.
Soon enough they regrouped.
"Now what?" Revy asked.
"We pull back. I don't care if we outnumber Grievous I'm not gonna risk lives to just bring him in." Sean said before R7 told him that he and R6 had to leave when Grievous's guards had attacked them and destroyed the transport that brought Nahdar and the clones.
"Great." Revy said before a hologram of Grievous appeared.
"Greetings Jedi. You've run out of time." Grievous said.
"Oh piss off." Revy said.
"Why don't you come out, General? Show us some of that Separatist hospitality." Fisto said.
"Hospitality from him?" Sean asked amused making Revy snicker.
"Patience. In the meantime, please experience all my home has to offer. It has been prepare for uninvited guests like you." Grievous said with a laugh before his hologram vanished.
"I have a bad..." Nahdar tried to say before Sean and Revy covered his mouth.
"Don't say it or you'll jinx us!" Sean yelled.
"Hmm?" Nahdar said in confusion before the floor beneath them fell out making them fall. Sean had grabbed Revy before jumping from wall to wall while Fisto and Nahdar jumped up and Fill used a cable to stop his fall while the other clone fell to a pit of lava.
"See what we fucking mean?" Revy asked in annoyance.
"Uh point taken...I guess." Nahdar said.
However suddenly another door opened up and some creature appeared.
"I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess thats Gor." Revy said before firing at Gor making him roar before attacking them.
"Shoot him commander!" Nahdar said getting Fil to do just that. Sean jumped on Gor's head and was about to stab him in the head when he bites down on his right arm.
"OW!" Sean yelled before it was torn off and he was thrown into the wall.
Fill was wrapped up in his tail before Gor smashed him down on the ground and killed him.
Fisto slashed off both his arms making him roar in pain before falling down and Fisto stabbed him in the head before rushing to Sean.
"Are you all right?" Fisto asked in concern before to his surprise Sean's arm started to grow back.
"Ouch. Whatever that thing was has a nasty bite." Sean said flexing his regenerated arm.
"Very impressive." Fisto said impressed by his regeneration abilities.
"You haven't seen anything yet." Revy said helping Sean up while Nahdar held Fil's lifeless body.
"Grievous is going to pay for this. I will destroy him." Nahdar said in anger.
"I understand your pain, but you forget your teachings, Nahdar. Revenge is not the Jedi way." Fisto said.
"But in this war, strength prevails. The rules have changed." Nahdar said.
"Perhaps you are the one who has changed." Fisto said making him look down. "Come now, we need to keep moving." Fisto said.
As they were walking Sean decided to speak.
"He's right you know." Sean said to Nahdar.
"What do you mean?" Nahdar asked.
"Listen. I wanted revenge against my clan for both what they did to me for five years after I was born and for turning to darkness. Do I still want Revenge? Yes. Would I actually go for it? No. Revenge comes at a deep dark price. Anything can happen. You could make others suffer in your pursuit of it. You could lose yourself or lose those you care about dearly. I'm telling you this so you don't make a mistake you will regret for the rest of your life as many have." Sean said walking past him missing the deep look of thought on his face.
As they reached a corner they saw a fully repaired Grievous walk out of a secret door before it closed.
"Hmm. Hold that thought." Sean said as when they were far enough they rushed to the door and Sean started pressing pushable buttons and the door opened before a droid warned Grievous about them making him turn and face them. Sean, Revy and Fisto rushed in while Nahdar stayed.
"Get in here you moron!" Sean yelled.
"No, you go. I will hold him off." Nahdar said.
"Damnit fish face!" Revy yelled before the door shut.
"Nahdar!" Fisto yelled.
Rushing into the control room Sean sliced the medical droid before they saw Nahdar fighting against Grievous before pulled a cheep move using his third hand to blast Nahdar which killed him.
"No." Fisto said in sadness while Sean frowned as did Revy.
Grievous then took Nahdar's lightsaber.
"I will kill you all! Do you hear me!" Grievous yelled.
At that moment R6 and R7 contacted Sean and Fisto.
"R6. You and R7 meet us at the south landing platform. We'll be there." Fisto said.
"I'm coming for you next Kruger!" Grievous yelled.
"Of fuck off." Sean said destroying everything in the room.
Soon enough the three appeared on the south landing platform.
"R7. Where are you and R6?" Sean asked before Grievous climbed up to them.
"Going somewhere?" Grievous asked before Sean grabbed him by the head.
"You're a fucking dead man!" Sean yelled throwing him into a wall making him cough a little before laughing.
"I have been looking forward to killing you even before you left Kruger." Grievous said using four lightsabers. One of which was Nahdar's.
"You will live to regret that." Sean said pulling out two lightsabers one blue and one green before he and Grievous fought one another while Revy and Fisto fought against the Droids.
Sean quickly kicked Grievous back before he kicked out his feat making him fall before Sean tried to slash him but he blocked it.
"You may have once been a proud warrior once. But now your nothin but a pawn in Dooku's game." Sean said.
"I wield great power, Jedi fool." Grievous said trying to strike him but Sean slashed off the hand holding Nahdar's Lightsaber before catching it in his mouth using three lightsabers.
"That power will only consume you." Sean said before he fought back with twice the skill he's used in previous battles. However suddenly R6 and R7 arrived and Sean put his lightsabers away before grabbing Revy and jumped into his Sabre while Fisto jumped into his fighter and flew off making Grievous growl in anger.
Later
Sean, Revy and Fisto stood before Mace and Yoda.
"What of your former Padawan?" Mace asked.
"His heart was in the right place, but he tried to answer Grievous's power with his own." Fisto said sadly while Sean frowned.
"To answer power with power, the Jedi way this is not. In this war, a danger there is of losing who we are." Yoda said before turning to Sean seeing his frown. "Your fault, this is not Kruger. Did what you could, I'm sure you did." Yoda said.
"Perhaps. If I had known how dangerous Grievous was from the beginning I would have done something about it." Sean said.
"It's ok Sean. We all underestimated Grievous. But I believe you were getting through to Nahdar. And for that I am grateful." Fisto said making him smile.
Meanwhile
"So Sean was never truly allied with the Sith? Disappointing. He has such great potential. Nevertheless he may still have a future in my plans." Sidious said to Dooku.
"Oh? And what plans would those be?" Dooku asked curiously.
"I will keep a close eye on him from my end. You just continue your part." Sidious said with a sinister laugh.
