Chapter 1: Preparations
Like fire across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread. In lead with the wicked Count Dooku, more and more planets slip. Against this threat, upon the Jedi Knights falls for duty to lead the newly formed army of the Republic. And as the heat of war grows, so too grows the prowess of one most gifted student of the Force.
"The Banking Clan has hidden factories on Muunilinst." Obi-Wan told the Chancellor seriously. "Building huge droid armies and massive warships. We must act quickly."
"I agree." Palpatine agreed. "But, whom to send? Master Windu still fight on Dantooine."
"Lead the assault," Yoda said. "Master Obi-Wan can."
"My army is ready Chancellor," Kenobi added. "We can leave immediately."
"Yes." Palpatine agreed, raising an brow. "And young Light as well." He stood up from his seat, slowly walking towards the slender Jedi Padawan. "I suggest that we give him special command over your space forces. His exceptional skills will be quite useful."
Sky smiled at Palpatine's words, happy to lead the charge for once. It had been four months since the battle of Geonosis, and the war brews across the galaxy like a fire. He had, secretly in the aftermath of the Geonosis battle, married his love, Padmé, because ever since they first met, he had cared for her like an husband would do to his lover. It has also been ten years and a quarter since he has left his mother Celestia from the planet, Equestria. Oh, how he misses her.
After four months of nothing but fighting, Sky was finally given the chance of proving himself to be a good leader of the space forces, even if it's by Chancellor Palpatine.
"Chancellor." Sky's smile faded as Obi-Wan began speaking. "I fear that young Sky might not be ready for such responsibility."
"True," Yoda agreed. "With his Padawan at his master's place is, but undeniably strong he has become. Perhaps--"
"Then it is decided!" Palpatine cut Yoda off mid-sentence.
Yoda and Obi-Wan looked at each other in concern, aware of what Palpatine had just done.
Later, the third army of the Republic prepared to go on the white cruiser they were going to. The clones turned to face it, before starting to walk towards the entrance of the cruiser. The walkers also walked towards the entrance of the cruiser.
On top of an building, Obi-Wan took the hood away from his face.
I doubt even Master Qui-Qon could've prepared a Jedi for this... Kenobi thought, knowing what his dead master would say.
The pilots ran to their respective starships, with the oil workers getting the cables away from the underside of the ships. The starships began to fly off the ground, and to space.
Sky, with his Jedi cape on, walked over to his blue Jedi starfighter. He threw the cape off him, which landed on the silver coloured droid, C-3PO.
Getting inside the cockpit of his fighter, Sky took off into the air as he looked through the cockpit to see his wife standing near the window. Raising an hand on the glass in the cockpit, Sky silently bid farewell to his wife before taking off into space, and to his next mission.
Chapter 2: The ARC Troopers' Mission
Walking inside the room where the ARC troopers was, Kenobi began addressing them to their mission.
"ARC Troopers," the Jedi began. "You've been selected for this task because you're the best, the elite. You all know what to do. The success of your mission is our key to a swift victory. When you get into position, send word as planned. Then, I will join you." Kenobi turned around and walked out of the room while the clones prepared themselves.
Walking in the hangar, Obi-Wan spotted his Padawan adjusting to his starfighter with an wretch.
Sensing him behind, Sky then said, "Master, I know you don't think I'm ready for a task of my own. But, I am the best pilot in the Order. Chancellor Palpatine knows it. I don't know why you--"
"Padawan!" Kenobi sharply cut him off. "Your skills have never been in question, it's your insurgency. We've argued this before, but the decision has been made." He raised an hand before saying, "May the Force be with you...Commander." Then, he walked away from the now sorry Prince.
Coming out of hyperspace, the Republic cruisers came to the planet of Muunilinst's atmosphere. From the enemy lines, hundreds Geonosian fighters came flying towards them fast. The Republic cruisers opened the hangers' doors, as hundreds of starfighters flew down from them and began flying to the enemy fighters.
"All squads follow my lead!" Sky ordered his troops, before an crossfire had begun in space. Blue and red laser fire was being shot all over the empty space.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Republic gunships was flying down towards the planet of Muunilinst, flying through the clouds as the ships began to fly to the capital.
Kenobi was looking out of the doorway of his gunship, before noticing many missiles being fired towards them.
"Evade maneuvers!" He shouted loudly, as the gunships evaded the missiles before landing on the ground as the clones ran out from their ships. Kenobi also ran out of his ship as he activated his lightsaber and charged at the droids with his men.
The two enemies met one another, with another crossfire being made as blasters and gunfire was heard all over outside of the capital city.
Meanwhile, an single gunship was flying to its destination. It flew into the city, carrying no more than a group of clones in it. The gunship continued to fly to its destination.
Running up an staircase from an building, an battle droid with an bazooka stopped on top of the stairs. It let out an, "Roger, roger," before firing an missile from the bazooka at the gunship that trespassed into the city unnoticed.
The missile was going after the ship, before hitting it from behind, causing it to fly down to the ground before crashing down and fell sideways. As it slid to an stop in an open area, the clones, appearing unharmed, ran out as the captain of them motioned his hand to go out.
The clones jumped down to the ground, with the red armoured clone looking around with caution before motioning his hand silently to the clones to walk around.
Meanwhile, on one of the buildings, an sniper droid was taking its aim at one of the clones, ready to fire...
Chapter 3: Destroy the Target
On one of the buildings, the sniper droid was taking its aim at one of the ARC trooper clones, as it got ready to fire at will. As the clone glanced to the side, the sniper droid began shooting from its hidden location.
The ARC troopers began to fire as well, though they were less as successful unlike the snipers. One of the clones fell to the ground, dead.
Fordo, the red clone, ordered his men to take cover at the gunship. The clones ran to the ship, firing while taking cover behind it.
Fordo ordered two of his men to go out there. Two white armoured clones nodded and ran to the open area. The clone captain then motioned his hand to one the scanner clone to come forth.
The clone did, scanning the buildings as he noticed a couple of droids in them. He silently told Fordo that there were droids in them with his hand signs.
Fordo ordered another clone to come forth. The blue armoured clone with an bazooka ran forward and knelt down, before shooting missiles at the buildings. After a couple more missiles, the buildings were set ablaze while the droids inside them were destroyed.
Scanning the area clear with his scanner, seeing that not an single droid was there, Fordo motioned forward with his hand to the rest of the ARC troopers.
Walking down an empty hall of buildings, an lizard was nearly shot by Fordo but began to run away from being potential harmed.
Fordo stopped mid-walk as he heard an droid tank's engine coming in their direction. He motioned his hand to stop to his men, who stopped as they readied their guns. Another sign, and the clones got into battle positions. Fordo took out an pistol, waiting for the tank to arrive.
The brown droid tank arrived, firing an big red laser shot at the clones, who dodged it by ducking under just in time. Fordo motioned his hand down, and an rope hung from atop the buildings as another ARC trooper came down from the rope. The clone ran up to the tank, jumping up to the cockpit, firing down as he jumped in the tank before firing all over inside the tank, before jumping back out again as the tank exploded into pieces.
Fordo motioned his hand forward to his men behind him.
The group of clones walked through the city, with Fordo throwing an scanner up to the air. The scanner began scanning the area before stopping as it scanned where the ARC troopers' target was.
Fordo pointed forward, before using his scanner to scan the inside of their target. Droids was in the control room, which means this'll be quite an easy one.
"General Kenobi," Fordo said to the hologram he was holding. "Target sighted."
"Very good, Sergent." Kenobi said, pleased. "Proceed with the next phase." Then the transmission stopped.
Fordo motioned his hand signs to his men, pointing to the roof above the cannon.
Later, an cable was connected to the wall as an battle droid looked down to the rope...before being shot in the head by an blue laser fire. Fordo came up to the top, before starting to fire at the droids as his men got up as well.
One of the clones fired almost all over the place whilst the others ran ahead and fired at the droids. Fordo, on the other hand, shot the fourth droid in an line as he barrel rolled to them before firing at the rest of the droid line. He looked behind him, seeing the bazooka clone firing an missile at the control room, destroying it.
Rolling his pistols, Fordo placed them in his belt again. He made another sign, as the clones began to fire cables at the cannon, as they began to plant mines all over it. The group of ARC troopers shot cables up to the top of the building, and ran up just as the cannon exploded to pieces.
Getting up on top, the clones celebrated their victory silently.
Chapter 4: Durge Destroys the Republic Cannons
Up in space, the space battle above Muunilinst is raging. Prince Sky had taken command of the forces quite well.
Sky flew at a couple of Geonosian fighters, shooting and taking them out with ease. All over the atmosphere of Muunilinst, the battle continued to rage. Blue and red laser blasts was being fired all over the place.
Meanwhile, down on the ground, the ground forces with Kenobi was pressing their attack on the capital city, destroying droids and droid walkers in the process.
The Republic guns pressed with their attacks, taking out more battle droids as well as tanks, and taking down a couple of buildings in the city.
In the main control center, a group of Separatist leaders was watching the Republic pressing on with their fire at their home.
"Those guns are destroying our forward positions." An Separatist leader pointed to the outskirt of the city. "The Republic is breaking through!" Then, the building shook a bit.
"Sir," one of the group said. "Our forward cannon has been destroyed."
"Their range are far greater than we've imagined." Another stated nervously.
"What are we going to do?" The leader told himself with a shake of his head. "What are we going to do?" Then he angrily accused the dark figure. "I don't know why Dooku sent you here, and all you're planning to is stand there and--" He was then being held by the throat threateningly. "I mean...Whenever you are ready!"
Later, an foot stepped on the control panel of one of the speeder bikes that were in an large room. The figure, revealing to be bounty hunter Durge, walked over to his own speeder bike.
He got on it, as an black droid handed him an lance. He took it as the large group of speeder bikes was ready to go. Durge sped forward on his speeder bike, as did the black droids behind him.
Outside on the outskirts of the city, clone troopers was continuing to fire at the battle droids, tanks and walkers, taking them out with rather relative ease.
An clone with an bazooka took out an tank, as well as the group of droids beside it. Just then, an figure came speeding towards the clone, who lowered his bazooka as he was being taking out by the speed of the speeder. An group of clones and an walker was also taking out by the speeder bikes of the enemy.
Durge readied his lance as he sped to an walker, destroying it to pieces. The black droid lancers took out an wave of firing clones with ease, as well as another walker.
The lancers sped towards the forward cannons. The black droids readied their lances down, as they began to take out the forward cannons with ease. Some droids were smart enough to plant bombs on the cannons, as they exploded along with the cannons, taking them out.
After one more cannon had being destroyed, Durge let out an howl of victory.
Chapter 5: Battle Under the Seas of Calamari
Trouble is the planet of Calamari. Its races has divided. The droid army of the Quarren Isolation League moves against the Calamari Council. Alone, the Calamari are no match. Intervene we must.
Republic cruisers began landing on the waters of the Calamari planet. Inside one of the cruisers, was an green alien Jedi with his cape on.
"Master Fisto," Yoda's hologram voiced. "In these matters, trust your insight, we do. May the Force be with you." Then the transmission stopped.
In the hangar of the cruiser, Fisto threw his cape off him before running out and jumped while using the Force to grab his lightsaber. The clones with water-proof jetpacks moved after him by activating their jetpacks and flew down with the Jedi Master.
Fisto activated his green lightsaber, as the enemy began firing at the Jedi and his men. Subfighter droids began shooting at the Jedi, who deflected the blasts with his lightsaber. The SCUBA clones began firing at the subfighters, with Kit Fisto slicing one of them in half as he cut it with his lightsaber.
Some of the SCUBA clones landed on one of the subfighters, and began shooting at the droids that were on the subfighter. The clones destroyed the droids, while underneath the holes began to open as more droids was coming out of them.
As one of the droids was almost out, one SCUBA clone got in the way as he fired an blue laster blast at the hole, destroying the droids in that hole.
Meanwhile, Fisto swam up to them before his eyes widened in little shock before using the Force to grab a couple of the droids that managed to get out of the holes underneath the subfighter droids. One of the subfighters fired two missiles at him, but he used the Force to get the missiles to be going at the droids that was coming at him instead.
Suddenly, in the amidst of the battle, horns began to sound from the Knights of Calamari. The Knights was riding on strange, sea creatures. The sea creatures grabbed the enemies in their jaws, as well as breaking them into pieces together.
One of the Knights shot an green laser blast at one of the subfighters, destroying it.
Meanwhile, Fisto was deflecting red laser blasts by several subfighters. He cut some of them in half with his lightsaber, before his eyes widened as an yellow blast almost hit him. He, though, managed to swim away in the nick of time.
The blast shot an Republic cruiser in half that was on the surface of the planet.
An Crab cannon slowly walked up from the crate it came from. Fisto looked on as the cannon readied by pointing upward before firing another yellow blast at the surface, almost hitting another cruiser of the Republic forces.
Fisto was shocked, then he swam closer to the cannon. In the cockpit of the cannon, two Quarren natives saw the Jedi coming closer to their cannon. They ordered the turrets to fire at the Jedi Master.
Fisto deflected some of the blasts, though. He managed to destroy some of the turrets by deflecting the blasts right back at them. Swimming around for a bit, he summoned an large bubble of water with the Force as he sent it towards the Crab cannon's legs. He sent two more bubbles at it, bringing it down in defeat.
The Calamari Knights' horn sounded as the sea creatures swam towards the enemy cannon, pushing it off the ground into the crate where it came from with little difficulty.
Swimming briefly where the cannon was dropped, Fisto quickly swam back where he came from as an explosion occurred from the crate.
The Jedi Master smiled gleefully as his men and the Calamari Knights cheered in victory.
Chapter 6: Gladiator Battle
In an arena, an gladiator roared as it raised its club into the air, preparing to strike the other gladiator down. The gladiator, however, dodged to the side as it threw the green net from its hand and onto the green one.
Meanwhile, in space, an starfighter came out of hyperspace as it made its way to the planet of Rattatak. It landed to the entrance of the arena as it began to open the platform down.
Walking down from the starfighter, was Count Dooku. He was walking towards an white cloaked creature as it greeted him in its alien language.
"Everything has been arranged precisely as you requested." The cloaked figure bowed its head. "Most illustrious Count Dooku."
"Indeed." Dooku simply replied as the two walked into the seat area of the gladiator arena.
Meanwhile, in the arena, an gladiator tried ripping an droid in half, but it lit up its flamethrower as it fired at the gladiator's head.
In the seat area, the guide took the hanging blanket away as Dooku walked to his seat. He sat down on the chair next to the guide, watching the display of the arena.
"I trust you will find what you seek." The guide told Dooku.
An gladiator was spinning its weapon around as another walked threateningly over to it.As this was happening, another gladiator destroyed an droid gladiator by jumping over it with its sharp lance.
An red droid gladiator prepared its robotic arms and fired its two flamethrowers at the other gladiators.
Up in the seats, Dooku was still watching the display...until he felt an breeze coming from beside him as the guide was replaced by an unknown figure.
"Impressive." Dooku remarked. "You mask your presence well. Flawless prowess, timing, perfect control. In great skills of infiltrations. However, I am not looking for an spy."
The black cloaked figure stood up before bursting into the arena, throwing its cape off in the process. The gladiators looked on at the intruder. Two of the gladiators ran towards the female intruder, before being pushed back by her use of the Force.
She managed to jump up from being potential burned by the flamethrower going her way. The red droid gladiator fired balls of flames at her, but she used the Force to run from them without being harmed. She ran between two of the gladiators, who were being shot at by the fireballs, as did six more gladiators.
The female jumped in the air with an swift movement, dodging the incoming fireballs perfectly. As the female landed behind the red droid, who only managed to turn around before it didn't managed to shoot at her, she used the Force to levitate it to the roof, destroying it as it made contact with the rocks atop them.
The rest of the gladiators looked at her, before roaring or screaming as they charged at her. The female Force-user concentrated her powers to the rocks above them, which made them fall to the ground, crushing the gladiators in the process. One managed to evade, however before it could attack her, an rock was swung at it, sending it away from the Force-user, who looked behind her as she noticed one final gladiator.
The gladiator spun its rock around in the air before tried to hit her with it, but she jumped into the air and activated her two lightsabers as she landed on the ground safely. She ran for the gladiator, cutting the rock off its bind as the rock flew towards two of the spectators that were watching the display.
The gladiator looked at its sliced swing, before looking at the Force-user as it roared at her before charging at the female. The female, too, charged at the gladiator before striking it down with her two lightsabers.
The Force-user relaxed after the battle, before hearing clapping from Count Dooku from his seat. The female bowed her head to him.
"You are more powerful than I have sensed." Dooku remarked.
"The Dark Side is strong with me...for I am Sith." The female said.
Chapter 7: A New Recruit to the Separatists
Lifting her head up, the female declared, "I am Sith."
Dooku laughed in good nature. "A bold play, but you are no Sith yet." He levitated himself into the air as he landed down in front of the female Force-user. He continued. "If you'll become a Sith, you fight like the Sith. This can't be intimidated, however." He turned around. "You lack the combat of them. Sith have no fear. And I sense much fear in you."
"You are a foolish old man," the female sneered coldly, activating her lightsabers, "who knows nothing of the Dark Side."
An laugh was the response with just one word, "Indeed." Then, as the female charged at him, Dooku quickly whirled around and used his Force lightning to electrifying the female.
Waking up, the female arose from her bed as she slowly stood up on her legs. She walked forward for a bit, before glancing at her two lightsabers. She walked a few feet to them, before hearing an red lightsaber being activated from behind her.
She, as Dooku from behind charged at her, jumped into the air as she summoned her lightsabers with the Force. She landed safely on the ground, ready to duel against Dooku.
Dooku cut her bed in half just as the female jumped away in the nick of time. The Sith Lord followed her, as the two struck each other with their lightsabers before landing on the ground safely.
"Truly," Dooku gave little struggle, "if you were Sith, then this contest would not be over." The female pushed him away from her, before charging at him herself as she tried striking him down with her two lightsabers of blue and green colours.
Dooku also struck a few strikes at her, causing her to step backwards as the two fought against each other. Seeing the pillar behind Dooku, the female used the Force to break it in half. The Sith Lord, however, cut it in half with his red lightsaber.
Quickly looking behind him as the female had charged at him, Dooku threw one of the parts of the pillar at her. She managed to stop it with her lightsabers, but Dooku used the Force to throw it away again before throwing the female's lighsabers in the air and destroyed them with his own. He Force-pushed the female back as she landed on the ground on her back.
As she tried to get up, Dooku held his lightsaber close to her chin.
"It's not easy to defeat a Sith." He noted to her.
"So finish it." The female replied.
"We have other plans." Dooku answered, looking up to the stair. "Have you been watching, Master?"
"I have indeed Lord Tyranus," the hologram figure's spider-like legs walked down from the stair. "The child's skills with a lightsaber is most impressive. You have found an promising desirable apprentice. She shall serve us well."
"I am honoured." The female bowed respectfully to the figure.
"May I present you the true Lord of the Sith," Dooku presented. "Darth Sidious."
"What is your bidding?" The female asked.
"A Jedi named Sky Light, you will find him for us and...eliminate him." Sidious ordered.
"Jedi?" The female snarked. "They are for their fear of the dark. Corrupt, arrogant. They must be punished. The Jedi shall fall!"
"Consider this...a gift." Dooku opened an box, which contained two new lightsabers to the female Force-user. She took one, activating its red saber.
Later, the female took her ship as she flew into space rather fast.
"She will be no more than a match for the young Prince." Dooku noted to his master.
"It matters not." Sidious replied. "She is merely an instrument to bring forth the eradication of the Jedi."
Chapter 8: Obi-Wan vs Durge
The Republic cannons continued to fire at the droids that was retreating, but they were all but destroyed by Durge and his speeder bike army of droids.
In the command center, an clone began to point to them as he told Kenobi, "General Kenobi, our cannons are being destroyed."
Kenobi looked over to the cannons, just as he saw the bounty hunter Durge speeding towards another Republic cannon.
The Jedi then said with two words, "Mount up."
"Yes, sir." The clone acknowledged his order.
Meanwhile, while destroying another cannon of the clone army, Durge then stopped before looking over to his droid army, with a couple being destroyed quickly by clone lancers that sped their way towards them.
Durge saw that the clone with the Jedi cape on was the leader. The two lancer armies sped their way towards the other, readying their lancers in the process as they began to kill and destroy the other army as they neared the other.
Clones and droids were flown into the air as they destroyed their speeder bikes, as did the rest of the armies.
Another droid, with an lancer in its body, fell to the ground as it slid backwards while having its legs cut off it while going backwards on the ground.
Durge's lancer hit an clone, sending the clone into the air whilst his speeder bike was destroyed. The bounty hunter looked to the left as he saw the leader speeding his way towards the bounty hunter. Durge also sped his way to the leader, getting his armour off him and into the air as the leader was revealed to be Obi-Wan.
Kenobi wiped some sweat off his face, before levitating his lightsaber to his hand as he sped his way towards Durge, slashing the bounty hunter's lancer in two as well as slashing against the speeder bike's engines, destroying it in the process.
Durge emerged from the flames, unharmed. Kenobi was surprised before speeding his way to the bounty hunter again. Durge grabbed the tip of the speeder as Kenobi was flown into the air as he spun around before landing on the ground safely.
Durge ran to the Jedi, but Kenobi slashed his speeder in three halves before sticking his lightsaber in the bounty hunter's belly just as time itself froze around them.
Suddenly, Durge laughed evilly as Kenobi looked up with an brow raised. The Jedi was punched by the bounty hunter as Durge walked forward while still punching Kenobi, sending him on the ground for a few meters away from him.
Durge fired some darts at the Jedi, but Kenobi used the Force to stop them from hitting him. Kenobi had created an invincible shield with his hand. Durge then fired an flamethrower from his left arm, but Kenobi created another invincible shield with his hand. The Jedi crushed the flamethrower with the Force, just as Durge took an mace out of his right arm.
Kenobi used the Force to grab his lightsaber in his hand again, managing to cut the mace in half before being hit. Durge took out two pistols, but they were easily cut in half by Kenobi's lightsaber. The bounty hunter then activated red shields from his arms, blocking a few ferocious strikes from the Jedi as he was being pushed backwards from the attacks.
Kenobi continued to press on with his attacks, before cutting the bounty hunter's right arm off as Durge looked a bit shocked. The Jedi cut his torso in half, sending the body parts onto the ground as Kenobi panted for breath as he had his eyes closed.
Just then, an transmission from Fordo came.
"General Kenobi, we're in position." The clone captain told him.
"I'm on my way." Kenobi replied, taking an speeder bike before he sped his way towards the clone captain's location where the Separatist cannon was, unaware Durge's fallen parts was slowly connecting to one another.
Speeding his way towards his clones' location, Kenobi sped up on the building where the Banking Clans' headquarters was. He used the Force to jump straight up as his speeder bike fell back down to the bottom of the building.
Having jumped high, Kenobi landed on the rooftop with the ARC troopers looking at him with determination.
"We're set, General." Fordo noted to the Jedi.
"Very good," the Jedi held an hand on the captain's shoulder. "Let's end this battle, commander."
Down under the roof, the Banking Clans' leaders was still watching the battle raging outside the city...just as the rooftop exploded, startling them.
The battle droids in the room aimed upwards before starting to fire at the smoke. Clones came down from the exploded rooftop as they fired at the droids on each level of the building.
The clones landed on the ground, continuing to fire at the battle droids as droidekas rolled behind them and unfolded into insect-like forms. The droidekas fired at the clones, but Kenobi jumped down at the destroyers as he cut one, causing it to explode into pieces. He slashed against another one that walked up to him, before he used the Force to block the fire from the last droidekas. He threw his lightsaber at its middle part, before grabbing it with the Force again as the lightsaber was flow back into his hand as the destroyer exploded to pieces.
"General." Ford's voice called.
Kenobi looked over to see the leader of the Banking Clans raising his arms up in pleading.
"Mercy, I beg you," the leader begged. "I am merely an Banker."
"That is entirely up to you," the Jedi replied. "And your unconditional surrender..." He activated his lightsaber as he heard an jetpack flying toward the building.
Durge burst in the window, just as the clones artillery fired at him. His jetpack exploded as the bounty hunter fell to the ground while still being shot at. An clone with an bazooka came and knelt on one knee before shooting an missile at the bounty hunter's smoky location, causing an explosion to occur in the building.
"Control room secure, General." Fordo noted to the Jedi.
"One can never be too sure, commander." Kenobi reminded him.
The clones surrounded the smoke, just as an arm swung at them, sending them into the walls, either injured or killed by the harsh push. Durge emerged from the crater he was in, glowering at the Jedi before swinging his arm at Kenobi, who tried to slash the arm off but it regenerated back as Durge got it back to him. The bounty hunter jumped over to the Jedi, landing on the holographic table as both he and the Jedi fought.
Durge swung his arms down, but Kenobi ran to the side, barely dodging the strike. Cables then was shot to the bounty hunter, as clones swung down from them and fired at the bounty hunter without rest. After being fired at even more, Durge then took his arm down and over his head as the clones fell to the ground harsh, injured or killed from the fall.
Durge ran towards Kenobi, before trapping him in his body as the lightsaber fell out of the Jedi's hand. Fordo saw this, launching an cable at the bounty hunter before electrifying Durge, which seemed to be quite effective as the bounty hunter growled in pain.
Pushing the electricity back at the clone commander, while Fordo fell backwards, Durge ran up to the clone as he raised his arms up in the air, ready to strike the clone down from hurting him. But, as he was about to attack, his body began to grow bigger and bigger as he grunted before being literally pushed all over the place, dead.
Landing on the ground, panting, was Obi-Wan. He was wet, he could even smell it.
"General," Fordo said in concern.. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Kenobi reassured him. "Seems I created quite the mess now, haven't I?" He grabbed his lightsaber with the Force, as the lightsaber got in his hand.
"Yes, sir." Fordo agreed.
Taking the crushed table away, and the clones aiming at the shivering Clan leader, Kenobi began addressing him as the leader looked up at him.
"Now, where were we? Ah, yes!" Kenobi then said, "I believe you were surrendering." The leader's mouth quivered before slumped down in defeat.
Chapter 9: The Best Pilot
The space battle above Muunilinst continues to rage. A lot of ships and casualties has been made of both sides of the two enemies in the battle.
Prince Sky pursued a couple of Geonosian fighters as he made amazing maneuvers as some other enemy fighters was behind him. He, however, made an swift move as he dived under as he stopped his engines before he came to an stop behind the Geonosian fighters. He fired blue laser blasts at them, taking them out as Sky shot down the remaining of his enemies.
Clone starfighters was firing at their own enemies, taking them out as the fighting grew more fierce and intense every second that passed by.
Sky was pursued by ten more Geonosian fighters as he evaded their blasts by making swift movements that no other starfighter could do. He dived under, flew to the left and right sides before stopping his engines as he dived under again as he came to an stop as he turned his engines on again as he shot the ten enemy fighters down with blue laser blasts, destroying them one by one.
An clone starfighter was aiming at an Geonosian fighter. It shot blue laser blasts, destroying the fighter it was pursuing...just before it was destroyed by enemy fire coming from above.
"We lost Gold leader!" An clone shouted, just as one thousand Geonosian fighters was shooting at them. "Commmander, enemy reinforcements has arrived."
"Clear out, Gold Two." Sky responded, flying towards them. "R4, prepare to reverse the thrusters!" R4 beeped in answer. Sky clenched his teeth as the thousand Geonosian fighters began shooting at him. He, however, dodged every last one of the blasts by the enemy fighters.
Sky began to spin around as he fired consecutive fire at the Geonosian fighters. He shot blue laser blasts, and missiles, at the fighters of the enemy, taking out more than five hundred of the fighters out.
The young Equestrian Prince outmaneuvered the fire by the Geonosian fighters, dodging many shots as he continued to shoot missiles and normal laser blasts at them, taking the rest of them out.
Sky then turned around and flew to his cruisers, as more Geonosian fighters pursued him in the process.
R4 beeped alarmingly to him.
"I know! I know!" Sky dodged the shots by the enemy fighters behind him as he made more amazing maneuvers. "Blue Squadron, prepare to fire all of your missiles at Point Four."
"But, Commander." Blue Leader frowned. "There are no enemies. No target."
As he got closer to Point Four, Sky shouted to Blue Squadron, "DO IT NOW, TROOPER!"
Blue Squadron fired hundreds of missiles to Point Four.
As Sky saw the missiles above the white Republican cruiser, R4 beeped in slight fear as the Jedi Padawan sped beside and got above the missiles as the enemy fighters that were chasing him got destroyed by the missiles. The missiles pursued the young Prince as Sky got closer to one of the enemy ships, shooting at where more Geonosian fighters was coming out of, as he flew inside the enemy ship while the missiles behind him pursued.
Sky continued to fire all over the inside of the enemy ship, taking out a vast amount of droids that were in the hangar bay. He flew back out, just as the enemy ship exploded into pieces.
Three white Republican cruisers had surrounded the nearby enemy ship, firing at it continuously as it finally exploded into pieces.
"Commander," Blue Leader said. "The enemy ships are nearly all destroyed. Only-Wait! What's that?" He noticed some newcomer ship taking out the whole Blue Squadron to little effort. "Commander! We've just lost Blue Squadron! An rogue fighter has--"
"I know!" Sky said loudly. "Prepare to move out. This one's mine."
As his eyes sharpened by staring into nothingness, Sky finally saw red laser blasts from the rogue fighter as he dodged the shots as he made some fire of his own. The rogue fighter, though, managed to dodge them with ease.
Sky continued to fire at the rogue starfighter, before finally hitting it in the wing.
"Got you." The Prince smiled gleefully, but that faded as the rogue fighter redirected its controls as it sped away from him, surprising him. "Switch over to the thrusters, R4!" He told his droid partner before telling himself, "This one's no droid pilot..."
Sky's blue starfighter's engines lit up as the fighter sped its way down to the planet of Muunilinst, pursuing the rogue fighter. The young Prince fired at the rogue fighter, but it just boosted its speed forward, evading them easily as the shots was hitting the buildings instead.
Sky continued to fire at the rogue fighter, hitting the ground instead, making an loud noise that was heard all over the city.
Hearing the loud noise, Kenobi looked at his troops.
"What was that?" the Jedi asked.
"I don't know, General." The blue armoured clone responded, unsure.
Just then, the rogue fighter sped above them as they ducked under just in time.
"That's not one of ours." Kenobi noted, seeing the fighter.
"No General." The blue armoured clone said in response.
Another starfighter, this time it was an blue one, sped over them as the clone ducked under again.
"That was Sky!" Kenobi exclaimed.
"Yes, General." The blue armoured clone answered simply.
"Sky, come in." Kenobi activated his communicator.
"It's under control, Master." Sky's voice responded, before the blue fighter fired at the rogue starship, missing it again, causing Sky to grit his teeth in irritation.
"This is supposed to be an space air force matter." Kenobi told his apprentice.
"It's under control!" Sky yelled, firing again at the rogue fighter, but misses it once again.
"Under control?" Obi-Wan frowned. "I don't think so. Your place is with your squadron, young one. Not--" He was cut off by the ships' engines. "Not chase one fighter through the city streets!"
"Master!" Sky tried again. "This one's no droid pilot, and the Force is with him. I can't let him get away!" He started shooting at the rogue fighter again, but hits the buildings instead like the times before.
"Sky," Obi-Wan said. "I'm also sensing something strange, but you must let that ship go. It's baiting you."
Up in the planet's atmosphere, Sky was still pursuing the rogue fighter. R4 beeped again, alarmed by the sudden switch of the rogue fighter.
"Jump into hyperspace? You got his coordinates?" The droid beeped in affirmative to Sky's question. "Then, plug them in."
"Sky." Kenobi's voice came again.
"Master, this one's more than one." Sky told him. "I have to do this."
"Do not follow that ship. Sky, do you read me?" Obi-Wan demanded. "Do not follow that ship. That is an order! Sky!"
"Sorry, sir." Sky seemingly apologized. "Your signal's breaking up." He was ready to press the red communication button.
"Padawan!" Kenobi tried again. "If you--" He was cut off the communicator as Sky pressed the red button, stopping their conversation.
The rogue fighter jumped into hyperspace, as Sky followed suit to his coordinates.
Down on the planet, Kenobi sensed his apprentice's disappearance from the atmosphere of Muunilinst.
Thinking quickly, the Jedi pointed to the blue armoured clone. "You got his coordinates?"
"Yes, General!" The clone responded.
"Take a squad and follow him." Obi-Wan ordered.
Later, an shuttle began to fly into space as it jumped into hyperspace, following the two disappeared starfighters.
"I've got an bad feeling about this..." Kenobi whispered.
Chapter 10: Mace Windu vs Droids
On Dantooine, a young boy was running through the fields to the edge of his home. Overlooking the open area near a river on the downside of the fields, an battle was raging.
A gunship flew above the young boy, who ducked under just in time before being hit. The gunship flew to the enemy line, before being shot down by an missile.
Clones was shooting at the super battle droids that was also firing at them, with both sides being killed or destroyed in the amidst of the battle. An group of clones was flown into the air by an explosion.
One clone was brave enough to run up to an super battle droid, taking it down with his gun before starting to fire at the head of the droid.
More clones was shooting at the firing droids, while an clone with an bazooka knelt down in the river as he fired an missile at an group of droids, destroying them.
A purple lightsaber attacked and destroyed three droids. Master Windu stood still in the smoke before looking at the enemy droids as he ran towards them while deflecting their blasts, whether back at them or over the place. He slashed an super battle droid in half before jumping and rolling in the air as he landed in the middle of an large group of droids, cutting some of them down as he deflected more fire from them.
Windu ran and cut two more droids in half as an spider droid walked up and fired at him, but he deflected the shot right back at it, destroying it. Cutting more droids down, he also deflected their fire with relative ease.
Cutting two more droids down, Windu looked at the large group of droids walking towards him as the group fired at him. He deflected the shots, running away from them as he jumped over the last group of droids and to his men as one clone was killed by an blast from the droids.
Windu deflected many blasts as his men continued firing at the enemy droids. Suddenly, the Jedi Master and his men stopped as the droids seized their fire as they got their arms in to their robotic parts.
Looking around in confusion, the clones and Jedi finally saw the reason behind their seize of fire as the Republic troops saw an flying, Seismic Tank coming above them.
The Seismic Tank came to an stop right above the then stopped clones and droids as its round seismic part hit the ground, creating an crater where it hit the ground as well as an large amount of an smoke ring that sent both clone and droid back, as well as into the air while the ground was flown into the air.
Windu was smart enough as he jumped above it before getting flown into the air, landing down on the ring's side as he began to slid down into the crater. But, he ran upwards as he jumped with the Force as he got back up on the fields.
The clones looked up at the Seismic Tank, before starting to artillery fire at it.
Inside the control panel of the Tank, some battle droids was pressing some buttons as the leader began to call to them.
"Fire at will."
"Roger, roger." The controllers responded, pressing the activation button, causing the seismic part to hit the ground again, creating another crater in the ground.
Windu, not quick enough, was flown backwards onto the ground as he lost his lightsaber. Super battle droids began surrounding the Jedi Master as he stood back up.
The droids aimed at him, but Windu used the Force to push them back and onto the ground as he readied himself to fight without his lightsaber.
Some droids walked up to him, but as they were beginning to fire at him, he ran away from them as he pushed one into the air. He stopped an battle droid from firing at him, punching it in the optics as he Force-pushed three droids away.
He took one droid by the hand, punching it rapidly with his fists, quickly destroying it. Three more droids ran up to him, but Windu just punched the droids with fists before kicking one in the robotic leg. He rapidly punched another droid in the middle parts of its body.
Windu slapped one droid in the side of its head with one hand, breaking its parts open. Suddenly, the Tank hit the ground again, creating another crater in the fields. Windu was sent flown in the blown smoke.
He stood back up, Force pushing some droids away, as well as some more droids to the side as he looked over to the Seismic Tank that began to move again.
Raising his fists up, Windu started to Force-run towards the Tank as he ran through the army of droids.
Inside the control room, the droid leader addressed the controllers of the Tank.
"Recharge accelerators." It told them.
"Roger, roger." They responded in unison.
The droids inside the Tank started to work on to recharge their Tank.
Outside on the fields, Windu jumped over another wave of super battle droids as he spun around in midair. He Force-pushed some droids away from his landing spot, as he landed safely on the ground again before starting to run towards the Tank again.
The battle droids artillery fired at him, but he either ducked under or evaded their fire as he got close to them. He used the Force to break their head parts right open, before Force-pushed them to the side. He got back up as he stopped an droid from firing as he Force-pushed and broke the droid's head parts open. He did the same with an droid that was really close to him.
Windu used the technique to break the middle parts of the next droid, before doing it to the head of another droid. As an droid was near him, and aimed its arm to blast him, Windu broke all of its optic parts open, breaking it into pieces as the parts fell to the ground. He used the broken parts to destroy five more droids, causing them to explode.
"Fire." The leader of the droids inside the Tank ordered.
"Roger." The droid of the controllers pressed the activation button, causing the seismic part to hit the ground once again.
Windu, quickly looking at the sound of an ground being hit, was sent flying through the air with the smoke. Seeing something shining, the Jedi Master spotted his lightsaber as he used the Force to grab it into his hand. As he landed, he activated the purple lightsaber as he began deflecting artillery fire from the droids that surrounded him.
The Jedi created an invincible shield with his hand using the Force as more smoke came to him, then began to run towards the Tank once again. He jumped straight to the side of the Seismic Tank, he stuck his lightsaber in the side of it, beginning to make an hole.
Inside the Tank, an droid saw the lightsaber. It sounded the alarm as an group of droids ran to where the hole was being created. Suddenly, the middle of the hole was pushed forward with the Force, causing them to be blown into the air.
Windu jumped in the Tank, destroying an droid by the head as he slashed the control panels that was able to make the Tank to go self-destructing.
"Internal explosions." The control droids said alarmingly. "All over. We're losing control." The door opened as the leader looked behind it.
"What?" It managed to say before its head was cut off by Windu's lightsaber. He Force-pushed the control droids out of the glass as he, too, made an run for the glass before jumping out of the Tank just as it exploded from the inside. It fell to the ground, crashing and was destroyed.
Windu landed on the edge of the field that overlooked the battlefield. He stood high and mighty, before noticing an little boy glancing up at him.
Deactivating his lightasaber, Windu saw the boy offering an bottle of water. Smiling, the Jedi took the offered bottle as he drank some of the water down his throat. He gave the bottle back to the boy, before jumping back down to the battlefield.
Chapter 11: Ambush and Rescue on Ilum
On the snow planet of Ilum, an meteorite fell down on the surface of the world. An chameleon droid got out of the crater it had made, scanning the area with its eye as it spotted the sacred Jedi temple that was in the distance in the blowing snow. It walked up from the crater.
Meanwhile, in the temple, an female Jedi was instructing her Padawan.
"The crystal is the heart of the blade." An hand had the hilt of an lightsaber as the Padawan used the Force to slowly get the blue crystal toward the hilt. "The heart is the crystal of the Jedi. The Jedi is the crystal of the Force. The Force is the blade of the heart. The crystal. The blade. The Jedi. You are one."
The Padawan held her lightsaber as she activated it, revealing its blue saber. "I thank you for your lesson, Master Luminara." She bowed her head in thanks to Luminara.
"You have always the crystal and the heart of the blade." Luminara told her Padawan. "Your training is complete." She, too, bowed her head a little before looking back up in determination. "Something's trespassing on our sacred ground. The temple is breached." She activated her green lightsaber.
Meanwhile, more chameleon droids was planting bombs on the temple's walls and roof before beeping as they vanished from sight as the two Jedi walked up the walkway to where the droids had been.
"I sense a presence," the Padawan, Bariss Offee, said. "Yet, I don't see anything."
"They are here." Luminara replied. Just then, they felt something behind them as they slashed the chameleon droids in half. The pushed it with the Force as it exploded into pieces.
Two more droids appeared behind the two, as the droids began firing at them but they deflected the blasts simultaneously like the other. The Jedi jumped up before getting hit.
The two landed on the ground, before running to the sides as two more droids were behind them like before. Jumping up the walls of the temple, Luminara cut the heads off two chameleon droids that hung upside down from the roof.
Luminara landed on the walkway, cutting an droid in half as it exploded into pieces before she cut the other two droids in halves as well.
Bariss had jumped through the air as she deflected the blasts of the chameleon droids. She used the Force to make the droids' ground crumple down to the bottom of the temple.
Landing where the droids was, Bariss deflected more shots from two more chameleon droids. Continuing deflecting the blasts, Bariss used the Force to make the roof above the droids to crumple down above them, making them be destroyed into pieces by the rocks.
Getting into a twin-like fighting stance, both Bariss and her master cut down two more droids as well as two others. Luminara grabbed the planted bombs as she planted them on three droids instead, causing them to explode into pieces.
Bariss deflected some shots from an droid, doing the same as her master, as the droid exploded into pieces.
Deflecting more fire from the droids, both Bariss and Luminara looked up to the top of the temple as the planted bombs began to trigger and explode, causing the rock roof to fall down onto the ground.
The two master and student, however, used the Force to stop the rocks from falling on them unlike the unfortunate droids. Struggling briefly, Bariss looked over to her sitting master as she, too, sat on the ground, concentrating on holding the rocks from falling on them.
In space, an starship was flying through the darkness. Inside the ship, Yoda opened his eyes as he began to say to himself.
"To Ilum, we must go."
"Absolutely not." The captain of the ship objected, as Yoda had just told them of his plan of rescuing two struggling Jedi he had sensed through the Force. "You cannot risk the Senator's life like this. Milady, I must protest."
"Hm. Very short time there is, Senator." Yoda said to her. "Our only hope is to rescue Jedi. To Ilum we must go. Now."
"This is not an rescue ship," the captain reminded the Grand Jedi Master. "There are more depression missions, Master Yoda."
"Slight detour," Yoda tried again. "But deny the mission, I will not."
"Slight detour," the captain repeated himself. "But deny the mission, I will not."
Padmé looked surprised, but smiled down to Yoda.
"Be put in danger, the Senator will not." Yoda continued to use the technique.
"Be put in danger, the Senator will not." The captain repeated.
"Save the lives of Jedi, we must." Yoda said, determined.
"Save the lives of Jedi, we must." The captain repeated, also determined.
"Master Yoda," Padmé said, convinced. "I am convinced. I will not require my captain's further persuasions."
"Huh?" the captain rubbed his head, confused, whilst Yoda smiled, pleased.
"Captain," she said. "Take the ship to Ilum."
"Yes, milady," grumbled the captain.
"Ilum?" C-3PO said to Artoo. "But, that's the planet on the other side of the system." Artoo just bleeped in response, going to the walking people. "A slight detour? Well, actually, I do have more important places."
On the icy planet of Ilum, the ship had just landed as the platform was stretched onto the surface of the planet.
"Stay on the ship, you must." Yoda told Padmé that was about to follow him. "Much danger, I sense."
"Master Yoda," she said, kneeling down to his height. "I can't let you go out there alone."
"Yet, alone, I must be." Yoda replied. "For the rescue to succeed." Padmé looked to the side, defeated. Yoda gave an small shocked expression before saying, "Call you I will, if assistance I require." The Senator smiled at him.
Walking off, Yoda was a few yards away from the ship before disappearing into the snowstorm of Ilum.
Yoda was still walking through the snowstorm, until he stopped as he sensed something approaching. He was near the sacred Jedi temple on the icy planet.
Sensing droids behind him, Yoda activated his lightsaber as he began to slash the legs of an chameleon droid that was about to fire at him. He sped around as he cut down several more chameleon droids.
Cutting four more droids down, Yoda quickly jumped as the underside of an chameleon droid nearly killed him. It began to look around to find the Jedi Master, but he was behind its head on top of it. He cut the head off with his green lightsaber, jumping to the ground as the droid exploded into pieces.
Yoda landed safely on the ground, before more droids surrounded him as they appeared. Readying his lightsaber, Yoda started his cutting of the droids as he ran through them as the droids fell to the ground, destroyed or unable to work any longer.
An droid was in front of him, but Yoda deflected its fire as jumped on its head as he looked behind him quickly, seeing more droids running up to him as they artillery fired at him. Yoda deflected the blasts from the droids, jumping up in time before the head of the droid he was on was shot off the droid's body parts.
Yoda landed down from the cliff the Jedi Master was at, before looking back up as he concentrated his Force power to the mountain above the cliff. Struggling a bit, Yoda managed to create an rockslide of snow that destroyed the droids on the cliff he had jumped from.
Looking behind to the temple, Yoda walked towards it as he stopped inside the sacred temple as he saw rocks and crystals on the ground. Surprised for a bit, Yoda began to use the Force to grab the rocks to push it up and to the side.
Using the scope to see that the Grand Jedi Master hasn't returned, Padmé was beginning to worry for him.
"I have a bad feeling about this." She said. "Master Yoda has been gone for too long. I should never had let him go alone."
"He's a Jedi Master, milady," her captain told her. "He's quite capable of handle whatever is out there."
"Master Yoda did assure you, he will contact you if he required help." C-3PO reminded her. Artoo bleeped in response to what 3PO said. "Never alone in an uncharted planet is an common place for a Jedi, but you would not mess with them. Miss Padmé is safe where she is."
Artoo bleeped in answer, but Padmé began to agree with 3PO.
"3PO's right, Artoo." She told the blue astromech droid.
"I'll check on the communication array," Typho told Padmé, before walking back inside the starship.
"Artoo," Padmé suddenly said to the droid. "Does this weather affects your sensors?" Artoo bleeped in response.
"Artoo says, 'not in the slightest'." 3PO translated to her. "Or, so he says."
"Good." Padmé was pleased. "I'll check on Master Yoda."
"Alone?" 3PO asked in wonder.
"No." The Senator replied. "You two will accompany me."
Walking through the blizzard, the trio was going through an area with a few mountain ranges. Suddenly, Artoo stopped as Padmé looked at him in concern.
"What is it, Artoo?" she asked him. He just bleeped in answer.
"Artoo says, there are multiple objects coming this way." 3PO translated him to the Senator.
"Where?" Padmé demanded, looking at the blizzard...just as some red laser blasts was fired at them. The trio took cover behind an mountain close to them, causing the fire to stop. Padmé peeked around her hiding place, before getting an idea as she looked at her white coat.
She threw it out to the open area, causing the invincible chameleon droids to open fire at it. Padmé fired at the invincible objects, destroying them in the process.
"Gotcha." She smiled, pleased. Artoo bleeped once more.
"Artoo says, there are two more." 3PO translated to her.
"Two more?" Padmé repeated, before getting another idea. "Uh, 3PO, could you get my coat?"
"Of course, miss Padmé." 3PO was clueless about being a bait, as he walked over to the white coat before picking it up just as the droids fired at him.
"I must be insane." 3PO told himself, just as the droids revealed to him.
Padmé pressed the button on the detonator in her hand, before throwing it at the chameleon droids, which exploded, causing them to be destroyed, with 3PO covered in snow.
"Help! Help!" 3PO shouted. "I better be alive!"
Padmé walked up and knelt beside him. "Thanks, 3PO." She took her coat back on as 3PO struggled more.
"Of course, miss Padmé." 3PO just said in respond.
Artoo bleeped again, though not an warning.
"What is it, Artoo, more droids?" Padmé questioned.
"Oh no!" 3PO yelled from his buried body in snow.
Padmé aimed at the blizzard where Artoo was looking at...before lowering her pistol as she saw Yoda walking out of the blizzard with Barriss and Luminara.
"Master Yoda!" She said in joy, running up and knelt in front of the green alien Jedi Master."I'm so glad you're okay."
"Successful, my mission was." Yoda replied. "Safe, the Jedi are." He gazed down with closed eyes. "But, pain is in my heart."
"What's the matter, Master Yoda?" Padmé asked, worried.
"Nearly destroyed, the temple was." Yoda answered. "Revealed its secret location is, but by whom, I do not know."
Artoo patched into one of the fallen droids' circus, before revealing an hologram of the Sith Lord, Count Dooku.
"You'll find the temple on Ilum." The hologram ordered the droids. "Destroy it." Then it stopped, clicking into the mind of Yoda.
"Dooku." Yoda only said, sharpening his eyes at where the holographic of Dooku was earlier.
Chapter 12: The Search and Duel on Yavin 4
Jumping out of hyperspace, Sky piloted his starfighter to the jungle planet of Yavin as he started to ask his astromech droid something.
"Do you have his position?" R4 beeped in response, as the starfighter flew above an landing site. "That's close enough, R4. We'll search on foot from now." Sky landed the ship on the landing site in the jungle.
The young Equestrian Prince jumped out of his fighter, before ordering his droid partner. "Watch the ship, R4. This won't take long." He then began to walk in the jungle.
After moving some green vines away with his hands, Sky then heard an loud noise from the landing site. He ran back to where he came from, seeing an clone squadron disembarking from their ship.
"Secure the area." The leader ordered his men, before hearing footsteps coming to him. "Commander Light!" He saluted to the Jedi Padawan.
"Sergent." Sky acknowledged. "Obi-Wan?"
"Yes, sir."
"He told you to follow me?" Sky questioned again.
"Yes, sir." The Sergent affirmed again.
"Fine, then." Sky sighed. "We'll search through the jungle. Have some men watching the ships. Now, go!" The clones saluted before wandering off into the jungle of Yavin.
Sky walked with his four clones as the other clones walked by themselves.
One clone, however, was unfortunate as he was being pushed into an bush while the other he was with looked at where his partner had disappeared to. The clone aimed at the bush, before being pulled away just as another clone walked in the area.
Another clone in an area was being bashed into an tree before being pulled away as the clone's partner aimed at the tree before being pulled away also.
An clone walked into the area, unaware of what was happening.
On an tree branch that overlook to the water, an clone was pulled into the water, making an loud noise.
Sky looked behind him, having heard the commotion through the Force.
Another clone's weapon was crushed, before he was bashed into an tree harmlessly before being blown into the air above another clone, was being pulled down.
One by one, clones was being bashed into trees, pushed into the air, or bashed into branches, serious injured or killed from the many bashes.
"Something's not right." Sky noted to himself, hearing many clones bashing into trees and branches. "I can feel it." He was greeted with silence before an loud scream caught his attention.
Sky ran towards where the scream was, at the landing site as he saw the clone slowly getting up with support by the clones' ship.
"Trooper?" Sky questioned. "Trooper? Are you alright? What happened?" Suddenly, the clones' ship exploded into pieces in front of him, making him cover his eyes. "R4!" He shouted to his droid, before his starfighter exploded also to pieces, with the dome of R4 hopping and stopping at the young Prince's feet.
The flames spread to the sides, as an cloaked figure walked through. As the figure walked through, the flames returned to continue burning.
Sky hardened his gaze at the figure with anger. "I'm going to make you pay for what you've done." He coldly said to the figure.
"Come, Padawan." The figure removed the hood from its face, revealing to be a female. "Your fall will be my ascension to the Sith." She activated her two lightsabers as Sky glared at her, anger boiling in his veins.
The two stared at each other for a long moment, before they charged straight for the other. Sky attacked and blocked the female's own attacks as she, too, blocked his attacks also.
Sky blocked another attack from the female, before making his own but she, too, blocked it with her two lightsabers. The female continued to strike at him, but Sky managed to block every one of her attacks as he made some of his own, before Force-pushing her into a tree from behind her.
Prince Sky tried to strike her down, but the female jumped with the Force, evading the attack as she landed safely behind him. The female Force-pushed him into the tree she had just jumped from, causing him to wince in pain as he was harshly pushed into it.
The female tried to attack him while he was down, but Sky quickly jumped out of her range of attack as she cut the tree down instead. She whirled around and ran for the Equestrian Prince, but he blocked one of her incoming strike, before he got her lightsabers out of her hands, as they landed harmlessly on the ground.
Sky proceeded to attack her, but she jumped into a tree canopy above them, her lightsabers following her afterwards. The young Prince jumped up to the canopy, landing on an branch as he looked around to find her nowhere.
Hidden behind a tree, the female moved an finger as the branch which Sky stood on crumpled down as he used the Force to grab an vine and took hold onto it. He began to swing around, but the vine was cut by the female as she slashed it, causing Sky to fall onto another tree branch instead, the female also landed on an tree branch.
The two glared heatedly at each other, before the female ran to the edge of her branch before jumping to another, Sky following after her on his own branches. The two duelists clashed with one another after jumping from one tree branch to another, not intending on stopping the fight.
After landing on an big tree branch, Sky attacked the female duelist relentlessly after each of his strikes connected with her two lightsabers. The female tried to charge him, but he simply jumped above her to avoid the attack but he, too, missed an attack after trying to attack her from above. Sky blocked an incoming strike from behind him, whirling around as the two duelists clashed once more with fierce and ferocious attacks.
After clashing with an saber-lock, the two duelists continued their duel as the Equestrian Prince continued to press on with his attacks on the female in anger. After a couple more attacks and blocking, Sky used Force-push at the female to send her through an leaf bush behind her, sending her across the ground to an ancient temple on Yavin.
Sky pursued her, jumping through the leaf bush as he ran for the female, as she began to levitate some rocks from the ground and threw them at him. Sky slashed one into pieces, before getting hit by three more rocks coming his way, one of them hitting his cheek as he was sent down to an lower level of the temple grounds.
The female used the Force to send him further back, as he slid across the ground, his Jedi clothes all but dirty. Sky stood slowly back up, raising his blue lightsaber up as he looked straight at the female, who also looked straight at him.
The two had an staring contest until it started to pour rain down from the skies above them. The young Jedi finally moved, running forward as he jumped up to the female, clashing with her as he landed beside her. After kicking her in the face, Sky used the Force to push her down to the entrance of the temple.
Force-jumping down to where she disappeared to, Sky re-ignited his lightsaber as he began to walk into the temple, with some water dripping down from the ceiling. Walking further in the temple, Sky looked briefly to the side...before looking back to when the female decided to attack him but managed to block her strike.
Sky pushed her back, running up to her as he continued striking with her lightsabers whilst running forward. The two duelists came upon the walkway of stairs as the female grabbed an pillar with the Force, forcing it down to the Prince, who Force-pushed it right back at her, causing her to crash into the walkway as the Equestrian Prince pursued after.
The female tried to push him away with the Force, but he endured it by continuing running up before using an stronger Force-push that sent the female right through the wall above the walkway. Sky jumped through the hole of the wall he created when he pushed her, tried to strike her down, but the female rolled to the side before he could kill her.
Sky pursued and continued to strike at her, eventually causing her to flee from him as the female ran up another set of stairs whilst he pursued right after.
Continuing to clash with their ligthsabers, both duelists jumped to the top of the temple, right under Yavin's red moon as the Equestrian Prince lost his lightsaber after a couple more strikes against the female Force-user.
The female tried to strike him down, but Sky held her arms harshly in his grip. As the lightsabers got close to his head, Sky looked really mad that couldn't be told in words. He managed to hurt the female's right arm before she was pushed back.
Levitating her second lightsaber, Sky took it in his hand before charging at her with an scream of rage as he continued to strike at the female, eventually making her fall to her knees as the young Prince continued striking her with her lightsaber that was in his hand. After a couple more strikes, and images of his masters, Sky finally managed to break the edge of the top of the Yavin temple that caused the female to fall straight down to the chasm as she screamed.
After a few seconds of silence, Sky finally let out an scream of rage to calm down. After the scream, Sky threw the female's lightsaber down the chasm to the fallen Force-user.
Chapter 13: The Battle of Hypori
In space, an fleet of Republic cruisers were preparing to jump into hyperspace to the planet of Hypori. Inside the main Republic cruiser, Jedi Master Ki-Adi Mundi was talking with his fellow Jedi.
"And, as you can see," said Mundi, showing his companions his plan. "With this, we'll be able to make an surprise attack on the Separatist forces that will be in this area." He moved his hand to the planet of Hypori.
"This'll definitely work," an female Jedi, named Shaak Ti, agreed with the plan. "Thank you for telling us on how to defeat the Separatists on the planet, Ki-Adi."
"No problem," Mundi gave only an single nod, announcing the end of the conversation. The Jedi Master turned around to face the controllers of the cruiser. "Prepare to jump into hyperspace!" He pointed to the darkness of space with his closed hand.
"Yes, General!" The clones responded, pressing on a couple of buttons as the fleet began to jump to hyperspace, disappearing from where they originally were.
Near the planet of Hypori's atmosphere, an fleet of Separatist force was waiting for the Republic to come forth.
"General," an droid said to the white caped figure. "The Republic is coming out of hyperspace now."
"Good." The caped figure replied, pleased. "Good. When they have just arrived, prepare to fire at them."
"Yes, General." The droid nodded in understanding, just as the Republic fleet came out of hyperspace.
In the main cruiser of the Republic fleet, Mundi was surprised to see an entire fleet of Separatist forces. But, before he could say anything to alert his fellow Jedi, the enemy fleet began to artillery fire at the Republic fleet line, destroying some of the white cruisers other than the red and white coloured cruisers.
"Fire back!" Mundi shouted. "Now!" The Republic fleet started to fight back the Separatist fleet, but only managed to destroy a couple of enemy cruisers before vulture droids began to fly right at the Republic fleet. Republic starfighters began to fly out of the cruisers, and started firing at the vulture droids as the vultures began to fire at the clone starfighters, destroying many and making massive casualties on the clones.
As the fighting became more fierce and intense, the main Republic cruisers began to be the main attention as the seven Jedi was in them.
"Fire at the cruisers!" The caped figure yelled to his forces.
Vulture droids and cruisers redirected their attention to the red and white Republic cruisers, and immediately began to fire at them, causing an crossfire in the process. The seven red and white cruisers then began to fly down to the planet's surface as their engines was hit by a couple of vulture droids, bringing them down.
"How is this possible?!" Mundi yelled in shock just before his cruiser crash landed on the planet's surface as did the others near the main cruiser.
Much later, after killing many clones in their white Republic cruisers and destroying the entire fleet of starfighters, the B2 units of battle droids descended to the planet's surface at the command of the caped figure as the figure personally came down as well.
Coming face to face with the first Jedi, the caped figure took out its two lightsabers as it ignited them as did the Jedi, as the tension grew more intense.
The Jedi Master ran to the caped figure, but the figure foreseen this coming. It blocked the strike from the of the Jedi, before striking fiercely back at him.
The B2 super battle droids began to surround the fallen Republic cruiser as they artillery fired at it immensely while the caped figure fought the Jedi, who was trying to call for help.
"General Kenobi? General Kenobi!" The Jedi blocked another strike from the caped figure as his device began to work.
"Yes, Master Barrek?" Kenobi asked.
"We're in need of immediate assistance." Barrek told Kenobi. "There's only...only a few of us left." He ran a few meters from the caped figure, but it jumped in front of him again as it attacked fiercely again. "New droid general. He is unstoppable. General Kenobi--We--" He was finally taken down as the caped figure struck him in the belly, causing his communicator device to fall to the ground.
"Come in." Kenobi tried again. "Master Barrek. Come in." A clawed foot stepped and crushed the device.
The super battle droids continued to fire at the fallen Republic cruiser, until the figure's clawed hand was raised to the air and told them to stop with an sign.
Inside the wreckage of the fallen cruiser, an figure was running to another wreckage as it peeked around the wreckage, seeing the droids had stopped firing.
"Why have they stopped?" Mundi wondered quietly.
"Master?" His Padawan questioned lowly.
"Go. Go." Mundi signaled his Padawan, and they both sprinted towards the entrance of where the other Jedi was at. Mundi found his fellow Jedi resting, with one of them panting for little breath.
"Unstoppable." A Jedi, K-Kruhk, said breathtaking. "He is unstoppable."
"Never have we been out-manipulated by droids." Shaak Ti added, giving an sigh. "His strategies is without flaws."
"This is the end." Another Jedi said. "We're all doomed."
"Our predicament is dire, but do not despair. Focus. We are Jedi." Mundi reminded them. The five other Jedi nodded in agreement.
"Jedi," a voice called, surprising them.
The five other Jedi, other than Mundi, ran over the place to prepare.
"You are surrounded. Your army is decimated. Make peace with the Force now, for this is your final hour. But, know that I, General Grievous, am not completely without mercy. I will grant you a warrior's death. Prepare!"
Then, the six Jedi heard footsteps all around t hem, making Mundi to raise an brow in wonder and confusion.
"I can't see anything." One Jedi said, looking out into the open area.
"That noise." Ti added, looking through an hole of the wreckage.
"He is coming, alone." Mundi noted finally, taking in this Grievous character's footsteps is his own.
"We can't face him!" One Jedi called out.
"We must try, Padawan!" Mundi told him in an exclaim.
The footsteps came closer, being heard all over again.
"He's close...but, where?" Tarr, an green lightsaber Jedi, wondered.
"He's all around us!" The same Jedi said in fear.
"Calm yourselves." Mundi calmly told them as the footsteps came to an stop. "Steady." He began to sweat. "Steady..."
The nervous Jedi Padawan couldn't take it, he let out an scream as he ran for the outside of their hiding place.
"No!" Mundi ran after him, but it was too late. The figure, Grievous, jumped on the running Jedi, crushing him right underneath the cyborg.
Grievous stood up, spreading his cybernetic arms wide as his body parts opened.
"Head back!" Mundi told his companions, igniting his lightsaber. Grievous jumped back up again, disappearing from view.
Mundi and the other four Jedi slowly walked back in again, whilst having made an circle to look in all directions.
Above them, an shadowy figure slowly took out two lightsabers quietly. Its clawed feet loosened grip, as it made an noise that made Mundi look up in shock. He and his fellow Jedi managed to get away from the landing Grievous and started to attack the cyborg from all around.
The cyborg, though, hold his own strength against the Jedi. He attacked back, before spinning his torso around wildly as his attention was at Mundi, threateningly walking forward as the Jedi Master walked backwards, with the cyborg continuing to attack the Jedi Master with his lightsabers.
The other four Jedi ran for the cyborg, but Grievous held his strength against them as he attacked them with his two lightsabers. He began to hang upside down while dueling against the five Jedi, before jumping at Mundi, who jumped backwards to an wreckage that was above them.
The Jed Master used the Force at the ground under Grievous, who managed to quickly jump away just in time as he got up to the top of the wrecked cruiser. The Jedi looked above them, just as Grievous jumped back down towards them, creating some smoke around him, blinding K'Kruhk as the Jedi Master tried attacking the cyborg, who blocked his strikes before slashing one time before finally cutting K'Kruhk down with his second lightsaber, bringing the Jedi to his death.
Shaak Ti was shocked, before using the Force to grab some of the fallen wreckage to send them towards t he cyborg. Grievous, though, just blocked and destroyed the wreckage with relative ease. Seeing that Tarr was running towards him, Grievous grabbed the Jedi by the head, throwing him down to the ground, breaking his neck. Grabbing the second Jedi, Aayla, that came at him, Grievous threw the two behind him at the wreckage that was at the wall.
Mundi and Shaak Ti was the only ones left, as they ran up to the cyborg. Grievous blocked their strikes with his lightsaber, before spinning his cybernetic arms around wildly, shocking the two Jedi Masters greatly. Raising one clawed foot, Grievous kicked Mundi back to the wreckage behind the Jedi, before gaining his attention to Shaak Ti.
Attacking her wildly, Grievous got Ti to a corner as the cyborg continued his fierce strikes.
"Ki-Adi!" Shaak Ti shouted to the Jedi, grabbing his attention as she added in a shout, "Hurry!" She managed to use an Force-projection on her as her lightsaber was thrown out of her hand by Grievous, before being sent to the wreckage behind her, wounding her.
"No! Shaak Ti!" Mundi, unfortunately, grabbed Grievous' attention at him. The Jedi Master tried to use the Force to take his lightsaber to his hand, but Grievous' clawed foot grabbed it instead, surprising Mundi when the cyborg had three lightsabers. Two in clawed arms, and one in one cybernetic leg.
Mundi used the Force to grab one of the cyborg's lightsabers in his belt, grabbing it in his hand as he ignited the green lightsaber.
The two opponents stared at each other for a long moment, before Grievous jumped at Mundi.
On Coruscant, in the Jedi Temple, Yoda opened his eyes as he sensed something dark approaching.
"Mmm," he hummed. "Darker, the coming storm grows. I fear the dark clouds of the Sith shrouds us all."
Back on the surface of Hypori, an single modified gunship with the face of an rancor in the front, was flying through the air above the ground.
Inside the ship, the ARC troopers loaded their weaponry as the clone captain loaded his pistols.
"Commander, approaching target." Fordo said. "Begin jamming signals."
"Yes, sir." The pilot pressed an button, as an sound wave came from the gunship.
"Open doors." The doors of the gunship opened at Fordo's command.
"Approaching droid perimeter. We are undetected." The pilot told his captain.
"Gun it!" Fordo ordered.
"Sir!" The pilot pulled the thrusters forward, as the gunship sped forward towards the droid army that was surrounding the Republic cruiser. It hit one droid behind, before hitting another just before dropping off a lot of explosives that beeped as the super battle droids looked at the explosives before firing at the gunship that dodged behind an wreckage.
The gunship fired two missiles to the fallen cruiser, breaking up an hole as it flew in it. The gunship descended to the ground, as clones jumped onto the ground.
"There are three life signals." Fordo told his men. "One in the rubble." He pointed to the rubble, as an ARC trooper ran for the rubble. "Another in the rafters."
"Yes, sir." An second ARC trooper launched an cable to the ceiling.
"Every one else, with me." Fordo said. "Move out!" He started to run forward, with his men behind. After the last trooper got out of it, the gunship flew up to the hole it flew through, before facing the massive droid army approaching the wrecked cruiser.
It began to artillery fire at the droids, firing missiles as well, destroying many of them in the process.
Back in the cruiser, Fordo signaled his two of his men to hop on to the wreckage, they did so as the ARC troopers got into the open area where Mundi was fiercely fighting Grievous.
The cyborg was striking against his own lightsaber that was being held by the Jedi Master, before disarming him by striking the lightsaber out of his hand and prepared to finish him off...before finally noticing the clones that was looking at them.
The ARC troopers began to open fire at the cyborg, with Mundi managing to evade being fired at, as well. The cyborg ran through te wreckage and onto the wall as well as the ceiling. The ARC troopers followed his run as they continued to artillery fire at the cyborg.
"Shoot him down!" Mundi ordered them. "Shoot him down!" Three clones launched three missiles from their guns, but missed the cyborg as Grievous jumped back down to the ground as two metal parts fell to the ground also.
Grievous began slaughtering four clone troopers, before the captain called through his communicator.
"Echo, now!" The gunship came bursting in the area, with Grievous looking at it as the gunship faced the cyborg while the tension grew.
The gunship began to artillery fire at the cyborg, who ran away from it into the wreckage, jumping up and back down from the rubble before slashing an metal part open so he could run through. The gunship continued to fire at the cyborg.
The cyborg stopped at the next part of the area, before running again as the gunship fired a couple of missiles at him.
"Everyone, out!" Fordo ordered.
"No we must pursue!" Mundi ordered himself.
"General, we can't." Fordo began reminding the Jedi Master. "The survivors will die . We can no choice." Mundi looked unconvinced, but followed him to the gunship, hopping inside as did Fordo and the last ARC trooper that fired at where the cyborg could be hiding.
Inside the gunship, Mundi looked shocked to find Aayla and Shaak Ti receiving medical treatment. Medical cables was on them, giving them life support.
"Aayla," Mundi whispered in shock, before kneeling down to Ti's bed. "Shaak Ti."
"They're stabilize, sir." Fordo assured him. "They just might make it."
"And the others?" Mundi asked, holding Ti's hand.
"They're all dead, sir." Fordo sighed.
Inside the wrecked cruiser, Grievous took the lightsaber from the fallen K'Kruh.
Back in the gunship, Fordo pressed an red button, just as the explosives laid on the ground exploded, destroying hundreds of droids in the process.
Walking out of the wrecked cruiser, Grievous began to speak seemingly to himself.
"Run, Jedi, run. You have only prolonged the inevitable." The cyborg cackled evilly afterwards.
Chapter 14: Prince Sky's Knighthood
On Coruscant, in the High Jedi Council tower, an meeting was going on as Mundi was reporting his loss at the battle of Hypori.
"This is the first time," Mundi reported, "that one could stand up to five Jedi at once, and hold his own. This must be dealt with."
"I agree." Windu said in agreement. "This General Grievous is changing the shape of the war."
"Our numbers were greater before, but this?" An Jedi Master said.
"Yes, we need more Knights." Shaak Ti said.
"I know this will generate dispute, but I believe that we can still win this war." Obi-Wan said. "With all the trials upon my Padawan, he achieved them all with relative ease. I wonder if we can turn the Equestrian Prince to Jedi Knight."
"This is preposterous!" Oppo, an old Jedi Master, exclaimed. "We can't set aside our most hallowed traditions!"
"In these times, why do we hold back the Chosen One?" Mundi demanded.
"Whether or not he is the Chosen One, is still to be determined," Windu reminded Mundi.
"Mmm." An one-eyed Jedi hummed. "Palpatine has been requesting this for months now."
"Politicians have no ways in Jedi affairs." Windu reminded him sharply.
"Well, he is a cunning warrior," Fisto then pointed out, "and our best pilot."
"But he is reckless in his skills." An female Jedi added.
"Sometimes in the past, yes." Kenobi agreed with her. "But, regardless, Prince Sky has been through things more difficult other than the trials. Surely you can't put trials and skills together when he defeated that Dark Assassin on the moon of Yavin. And he has endured the enstrosit trial at the flash of the hands of Count Dooku. And he continues to pass every tests the war has dealt him."
"It would seem, he has only one trial left to face." An Jedi Master said.
"Testing the spirits." Shaak Ti guessed.
"Facing the mirror." The scarred Jedi added, looking at her.
"And, that is what concerns me," Oppo said. "To walk the path of the Jedi. One must be strong. That is very dissipating, and he has often disobeyed you, has he not, Master Kenobi?"
"Did you go against my orders, Master Ranciscis?" Yoda suddenly asked Oppo. Thinking hard, the green Grand Jedi Master opened his eyes again. "I trust this debate this is, but in this war, need all the Knights we do. With the young Equestrian Prince...a Knight...he shall be."
In the lower levels of Coruscant, Sky was walking through the crowded streets as he was walking with the people of Coruscant.
Stopping at an glass, Sky began to think of something. It's been more than eleven years since leaving his home of Equestria, and his mother Celestia. He has done nothing but fighting droids in this Clone War.
Walking again, Sky then sped his way towards an alleyway when he walked down the long stairs to the next lowered level of Coruscant.
The blue cloaked figure ran close to alley he had been, with Sky pulling the figure in the alley as he activated his lightsaber.
"Lighty!" Sky widened his eyes, seeing his beloved Padmé before the two shared an kiss.
"I...missed you so much." Sky told her, stroking her cheek as she held his hand before Sky pulled her around when he noticed an passerby glanced briefly at them. "I'm tired of all of this." He said. "Our love shouldn't be hidden like a uncommon of a thing!"
"Lighty." Padmé told him. "You're almost a Jedi Knight, And..."
"Then, what?" Sky asked, looking at her. "Jedi are not supposed to be married." He sighed. "But, it doesn't matter."
"It does matter." Padmé assured him. "We knew it would not be like this. Our lives can be changed after the war." She pulled his hood from his face. "But, for now, the Republic needs you more, and in the shadows of Coruscant, or any other city, the most important thing is the heart. I will always love you."
Sky smiled in thanks and gratitude at his beloved. "Well, you do look really good in the dark." He joked.
"Lighty." The two shared another kiss, before they heard an voice calling out to the female.
"Ms. Padmé!" A familiar voice called.
"Oh, no." Sky gave an low groan, seeing the cloaked droid. "3PO."
"Ms. Padmé. Ms. Padmé." 3PO continued to call out to her, looking around to find her. "Oh, dear. Where could she has gone to? Ms. Padm--" He was suddenly pulled into an alleyway by an robotic arm. "Oh, please don't hurt me! I am merely an droid!"
"No one's going to hurt you, 3PO." Sky's voice calmed the droid down.
"Master Sky." 3PO acknowledged. "Oh, Ms. Padmé!" He looked relieved to find her. "Thank goodness you're all right."
"You look different, 3PO." Sky noted to the protocol droid.
"Oh, this must be this disguise." 3PO said, unaware that he took his hood off.
"No, 3PO." Padmé shook her head. "It's your new gold painting."
"Gold painting?" Sky looked immense surprised, seeing his reflection in the protocol droid.
"Oh yes." 3PO replied. "In the place of the Senator, I must be represented well."
"Well, let us see." Sky said to the droid.
"Here? Now?!" 3PO was shocked. "In this neighborhood? Very well." He took off his cloak, as Sky's eyes shined with glitter for a split second.
"Impressive." Sky said. "Most impressive." Then he raised his hand to him as an holographic of his master came.
"Padawan, the council requires your presence." Kenobi told him.
"Be right there, Master." Sky sighed, as the hologram turned off. Sky turned to his beloved. "I don't want to go."
"You must." Padmé told him. "It must be very important."
"I love you." The two humans shared another kiss.
In an hall, Kenobi was waiting his Padawan to arrive. Sensing him coming up to him, Kenobi turned around to face him.
"Sky, you're late." He scolded.
Sky just sighed, walking beside his master by the window.
"When the council requires your presence, you must get here sooner rather than later." Obi-Wan added sternly.
"Oh, really, another lecture?" Sky asked in a demand tone.
"Lecture?" Kenobi repeated. "You're not a little boy anymore."
"You're right." Sky said. "I'm not. And, one important thing: you're no Qui-Qon Jinn!" Sky saw the saddened Kenobi, before apologizing. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean..."
"It's fine." Kenobi assured him. "I miss him, too. Now, when the day goes by, I remember always his wisdom and guidance. I've done my best to pass his teachings to you, and in our time, you have proven that you are capable all we believe in you. And, now, we must leave our roles as Master and Student. It is time we became...brothers."
"Master?" Sky raised an eyebrow, then the door opened to the next chamber. Looking briefly at his now-brother, Sky walked into the room in front of the two, and, as Kenobi walked silently behind him, the door to the chamber closed, causing it to be dark but that ended quickly as a couple of lightsabers was activated.
"Step forward, Padawan." Yoda said to him. Sky stepped close to the green alien, as Yoda held his green lightsaber close to his shoulders. "Prince Sky Light, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, dub thee I do, Jedi..." He cut the braid from Sky's hair before finishing, "...Knight of the Republic."
Sky stood up proudly.
At her home, 3PO walked up to Padmé, showing her the braid of Sky's hair before putting it in a case as the Senator held it closet to her chest, smiling happily before sending Artoo to her lover.
In a hanger, Sky knelt down as Artoo got up to him, showing the hologram of his beloved as the Senator presented him her gift in return. Sky smiled, raising his robotic hand to the hologram, as though to hold her.
Getting in his Interceptor with Artoo, Sky began taking off into space to his first mission as an Jedi Knight.
Chapter 15: In the Heat of War, Part 1
In space, an fleet of Republic cruisers were preparing to jump into hyperspace. In the main red and white coloured cruiser, Jedi Knights Sky and Obi-Wan were discussing plans on their attack on the Separatist forces near an innocent planet.
"So, you tell me," Kenobi said to his brother. "You want us to split up, attack both the fleet and ground forces around the planet, freeing it, and call it a day for today?"
"That's what my plan is." Sky nodded.
"Very well." Kenobi then addressed to an orange armoured clone. "Cody, prepare the men for attack."
"Yes, General." Cody saluted before walking off.
It has been a couple of months since been granted the rank of Jedi Knight, and the young Equestrian Prince has been given off countless attacks to the Separatist forces, as well as destroying more than thousands of droids in a battle on an innocent world. He really has been living up to his title as an Knight, Kenobi must admit.
Just then, after getting the men ready, the Republic fleet of cruisers jumped into hyperspace and came out of it near the innocent planet's atmosphere.
Lowering his arms down, Sky said to his former master, "Let's go. We shall commence attack as the air force is ready."
"Very well." Kenobi nodded, just as his former Padawan ran off into the door as it closed behind him. Kenobi knew that, he should be the one attacking the fleet instead of Sky, but the Prince told him that the Jedi Master should attack the ground forces, to make confusion to the enemy forces.
In the main hangar, Sky ran up to his Jedi Interceptor before hopping into the cockpit as his droid, Artoo, was ready to go.
"Ready, Artoo?" The astromech droid beeped in response, as though saying it was. "Men, let's go!" The clones got in their respective starfighters as the young Jedi saw his former master getting in an gunship with his own men.
The starfighters and Interceptor took off as the hangar opened, flying into space as the gunships flew from the opened door as well. Although the gunshps flew down towards the planet, the starfighters flew straight to the enemy line, shocking the droids in their cruisers as the Republic starfighters began firing at them.
Thousands of vulture droids came out of the control ships and droid cruisers, taking the Republic fighters on. A crossfire happened all over the atmosphere of the planet under the fighting.
With Kenobi, his gunships flew towards the ground before flying forward to the battle droid's base of the innocent city that were in the distance.
After getting closer to the capital city of the planet, hundreds of missiles were being fired at the gunships, but Kenobi saw this coming.
"Evade maneuvers!" He shouted to the pilots, just as the gunships dodged the many missiles whilst the missiles exploded into nothing when they missed their targets.
Hundreds of droids, tanks, super battle droids, and droidekas was running or rolling to the Republic forces. Landing near the plains, the gunships opened their doors so the clones and Jedi Master could get out. The clones jumped out as did Kenobi, before running towards the enemy lines as the clones fired at the many droids whilst Obi-Wan slashed against them with his lightsaber.
Up in space, Sky was being pursued by twenty vulture droids as he dodged their fire, maneuvering to the sides before stopping his engines as he came behind them, making them confused before being shot down by the Jedi Knight's Interceptor, which fired green laser blasts at the droid fighters.
Sky continued to be pursued by vulture droids, but he did the same trick at the battle of Muunilinst, stopping his engines before activating them again when he got behind the fighters and shot them down with his green laser blasts.
One clone starfighter was being pursued by thirty vultures, but Sky saved the Republic fighter from being destroyed by shooting at the vulture droids, being thanked by the clone pilot before the Jedi Knight returned to the raging fight in space.
Back down on the planet, Kenobi cut an droid in two pieces, deflecting some fire from three B1 battle droids before he cut them down with his lightsaber as he joined his men in an fighting and deflecting stance as he continued to deflect the enemies' artillery fire.
Kenobi deflected more blasts that were fired at him, before he concentrated to Cody, who had joined him by his side.
"Let's go!" The Jedi Master shouted to his men, before running up to the continuous firing droids, with the clones behind him. The clones, either, blasted the droids or tried punching them down but was shot in the head by the many droids.
Back up in space, Sky was pursued by three vulture droids and Tri droids before he stopped his engines, getting behind them before activating them again, and shot the six droid fighters down with green laser blasts. The Equestrian Prince then pursued four more vulture droids before blasting them down with his Interceptor's fire, just as he aimed his fighter at one of the cruisers the Separatists had.
Flying towards the bridge of the first cruiser, Sky fired a couple of shots at the bridge, destroying it as the cruiser exploded to pieces after some fire from the Republic cruisers.
"This is too easy." Sky noted to himself, before shooting another cruiser down by the bridge, along with some fire by his cruisers that fired with him at the second Separatist cruiser. The young Prince flew towards a third cruiser's bridge, shooting and destroyed the bridge of the cruiser just as the Republic cruisers artillery fired at the rest of the enemy cruiser, completely annihilating it.
Suddenly, and unexpectedly, more enemy cruisers jumped out of hyperspace from behind the Separatist forces, forcing Sky to turn back to his ships before being fired at as he dodged every last one of the shots that was nearly hitting his fighter.
Sensing an cyborg in the main cruiser, Sky hardened his gaze upon the cruiser.
"Grievous." Sky said to himself, having been told the cyborg's name by his master's warnings about the Separatist general. He sure was an dangerous droid general, the Prince must admit.
In the enemy cruiser, Grievous laughed evilly as he watched the Jedi Knight's fighter being chased by his vulture droids, but the Interceptor destroyed them with ease, making the cyborg a little worried about that Jedi.
"Commence attack on the Republic cruisers." The cyborg told the droid pilots.
"Roger, General!" The pilots saluted before pressing some buttons, causing the turrets to point their aim at the Republic cruisers. However, Sky had seen this coming.
"Oh, no, you don't!" He yelled before piloting his Interceptor at the main enemy cruiser, but the turrets fired at him instead, making him only able to evade the fire as he made amazing maneuvers that were little impressive to the cyborg general. The young Prince continued evading the turrets' fire, making more impressive maneuvers as he did so. Sky then blasted some of the turrets down with his green laser blasts, causing the inside of the main enemy cruiser to shake a little.
"Grr." Grievous growled angrily, having heard the destruction of his turrets by the Jedi Knight. "Commence attack. NOW!" He shouted in rage, as the vulture droids began chasing Sky's Interceptor through space.
Sky yelped as he was nearly shot down by an vulture droid, but managed to barely dodge its fire in the nick of time. He'd turned around, and started firing at the droid fighters, taking some of the hundred fighters out. Sky flew towards them as he dodged more fire from the vulture droids, all the while shooting at them as he destroyed more enemy fighters down with green laser blasts.
Back down on the planet, Kenobi was cutting down several battle droids, whilst his clones with bazookas took out the droidekas that had shield generators around them. But, not withstanding the missiles from the bazookas, the droidekas was destroyed. More droids continued to fire at the Jedi, who managed to deflect each and every one of their attacks.
Kenobi ran for the droids, deflecting all the while as he was running towards them. He cut several battle droids in halves, as the parts fell to the ground. The Jedi Master deflected more fire from the droids, before cutting them down with his lightsaber as he had run up to them fast, quickly got the droids cut in half as he swung his lightsaber at them. He deflected more blasts from the droids around the Jedi Master, before his men decided to aid him in the ferocious fight.
The clones was shooting at the droids, who was then firing at the clones, killing several of them. The clones with bazookas fired missiles at many groups of droids, taking them out as the many missiles were fired at them, destroying them into pieces. The Jedi Master continued cutting and deflecting the battle droids' fire and also destroying them in half. He was having a bit of trouble doing this by himself, but Cody decided to help him by running up to an droid, knocking it down with an fist before blasting its head off before shooting at three other droids that were unable to act quicker than the clone commander.
Kenobi continued to deflect blasts and cutting droids down, as he began to feel exhausted from the endless fighting. However, he wasn't planning on giving up, as he cut ten droids down with relative ease and a bit of difficulty due to his near exhaustion. After cutting twenty more droids down, the front line and first wave of droids were finally taken out as the clones breathed in relief with the Jedi Master.
Back up in space, Sky was being pursued by forty vulture droids as he dodged their blasts. He was making sweet maneuvers again, evading the fire from the fighters easily as he quickly turned around and artillery fired at the droid fighters, taking them out with as much ease as possible without breaking an sweat.
Grievous was growling and snarling at the Interceptor of the Jedi Knight, angry at having lost almost all of his fleet by an single starfighter.
"Retreat. Don't question me. Just retreat. Now!" The cyborg yelled to the pilots, who was confused at first but immediately understood his unwanted questions. The remaining Separatist cruisers turned around and jumped into hyperspace, disappearing from sight.
Sky was immensely confused at first, but he understood quickly why they had to retreat. It was because he had nearly destroyed the entire droid fleet by himself. He had amazed himself by doing so.
Piloting his starfighter down to the planet to assist his master, Sky landed near the Jedi Master, who had his arms folded as he looked as his brother jumped out of his fighter before walking towards him.
"What?" Sky questioned confusingly.
"I'm impressed." Kenobi said suddenly. "By defeating an entire Separatist fleet by yourself. It had impressed me very much. Never before had I seen you do that. How did you do it?" He raised an eyebrow at the question.
"I used some tricky maneuvers." Sky replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "Along with stopping my engines, getting behind the vulture droids, and immediately began firing at them. I also took out some cruisers by destroying the bridges of them."
"Impressive." Kenobi said. "For the most part."
"'For the most part'?" Sky repeated in confusion.
"I still had wished, that I had been the one controlling the fleet instead of you." Kenobi sighed. "But, I see that you've made the right choice in handling that yourself. For now, we'll discuss this later. Right now, the Separatists are most likely going to attack the Outer Rim planets from all over. We must stop them before they succeed in enslaving the innocence people of the worlds."
"No argument there." Sky agreed. "Let's go." He walked up to his Interceptor, which had Artoo on it the whole time, before jumping in the cockpit.
"Sky." Kenobi caught his attention. "Remember, don't use force or anger when at the battlefield. It'll lead you to closer to the Dark Side."
"I know, master." Sky nodded, before his cockpit closed as the Interceptor took off into the air and into space, as Kenobi and the remaining of his men got in the gunships, which took off into space and to the Republic cruisers as well like Sky's fighter.
This was going to be an hard fight they hope to win.
