Star Wars Life

Chapter 6: Clones



The search for Kamino in the archives had gone almost exactly like in the movie and we quickly ended up in a training room with Yoda and an initiate clan. We updated Yoda on our findings and that Kamino had been removed from the Jedi archives. Obi-Wan had brought a hologram map of the galaxy and Yoda guided the younglings in helping to find and point out Kaminos gravity silhouette.

With the info from Yoda we were able to chart a position for Kamino and set off for it in a small Jedi owned ship. The ship looked a lot like the Aethersprite that we getting now but was much thicker and seemed to have a proper hyperdrive. I loaded into the back cockpit which was mainly for the two blaster cannons mounted on top and bottom of the craft.

We had an astromech loaded in for navigation and other equipment. Obi-Wan jumped in the front cockpit and we took off for Kamino.

A few hours later we dropped out of hyperspace and entered the planet's atmosphere with directions from the Kaminoans on where to land. We met with Taun We and she explained that we would take a tour of the facility while Jango prepared to meet us. The tour was greatly surprising for Obi-Wan and I acted as best I could.

Inside I was secretly fanboying over the clones and their small amount of training we had gotten to see. The brief look we had of their training showed why the empire had gotten rid of them. They were all easily at the level of the best soldiers of earth and their were massive amounts of them. Some of the training was even Arc troopers with a mandalorian instructor.

Eventually when the tour ended we found ourselves infront of a door. Taun We knocked and little Boba opened it and looked at us. Taun We explained we were here to speak with his father and he let us in after giving us both a nasty stink eye. I had been keeping my sight limited to what I would be able to see physically so when we stepped in I stopped when my sight landed on Jango's armor.

It looked just like it did in the movie with the jetpack and everything. Turning to Kenobi I gave him a simple hand signal that the Jedi learn as younglings and he understood that Jango was the one we were after. With Jango now confirmed the culprit he quickly became the master negotiator he used in politics. When Jango arrived everything became tense and nobody spoke so I decided to break the tension in the best way I could think of.

'Su cuy'gar' I said as Jango fixed his cuffs and Boba walked to his fathers side. I didn't know much Mando'a as I wasn't full mandalorian and my father wasn't mando at all but he had been able to teach me what he knew. At my greeting both Jango and Boba looked at me with surprise and some suspicion.

With my greeting the tension died down as Jango greeted me with Su cuy'gar and gave Kenobi a slight bow.

'Your clones are very impressive.

You must be very proud.' Kenobi said.

'I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.' Jango answered.

'Ever made your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?' Kenobi questioned.

'Once or twice.'

'Recently?'

'Possibly.' Jango deflected the line of questioning.

'Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas.'

'Boba, rood eht so-heeck. Master who?'

'Sifo-Dyas.'

'Is he not the Jedi who hired you for this job?'

'Never heard of him.'

'Really?'

'I was recruited by a man called Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden.'

'Curious.'

At Jango's mention of Tyranus I interjected with a question while presenting the leg with my helmet attached for him to better see. 'Could you describe this Tyranus person for us?' I knew who Tyranus was so I knew that Obi-Wan would recognize a description of him instantly.

Jango with a curious expression and a raised eyebrow briefly described Count Dookus appearance and I could see Kenobis face briefly flicker to recognition and back to his negotiator face. He gave me a signal through the force and almost immediately after ignited his saber and leveled it under Jango's chin.

Taun We was taken aback as Boba tried to go for a blaster of his fathers. With a slight gesture I yanked Boba to me and held him by his collar. His attempts to escape were futile as force enhancement neutralized anything he did till Jango gestured for him to stop.

With that we arrested them and placed them in a small room on our ship. The room was barely big enough for both of them as it was ment for resting while on the ship. After getting some more information about the clones and such we left Kamino and set off for Coruscant.

We returned to Coruscant and landed at the Jedi temple. A crew came over and helped us properly arrest Jango and Boba while helping me to transport Jango's armor and weapons with us. We made our way to the council and began reporting what we had found. After our report some masters interrogated Jango and got from him that something was being built on Geonosis and that Tyranus aka Count Dooku was there.

Jango was locked up for multiple crimes and Boba was put in the care of some Jedi. I put Jango's armor in my designated room in the temple with the promise to return it if or when he got out. After some rest Obi-Wan and I set off on our next mission, to investigate geonosis. When we got to the planet surface a few hours later we were quickly attacked by what seemed to be vulture and tri-fighter droids.

I did my best to take them out with the cannons but I couldn't see them most of the time and had to rely on our astromech most of the time. Close to the landing site we had chosen multiple shots slammed into us and one annihilated our droid. The hits crippled our ship and we dropped in a crash landing.

After crawling out they vultures landed and took aim while in the distance we could see droidekas rolling to us. With a bit of time till the droids arrived I used the force to activate our coms system and sent out an emergency distress signal to all Jedi that could pick it up that we had been captured by hostile forces.

An hour later we were both in stasis fields as Dooku tried to turn Obi-Wan. When they got to the part where Dooku told Kenobi about Sidious controlling the senate I looked to my master and gave him a nod to indicate that Dooku believed he was true. With my confirmation that Dooku told the truth Obi-Wan fell into a dilemma.

With a bit more convincing Obi-Wan agreed to help Dooku only if he allowed us to eventually capture him to inform the Jedi council and catch Sidious. We made a plan to escape the execution and capture him and flee with one of his ships along with secret information about the with plans. A few hours later we found ourselves chained to a large stone pillar as Anakin, Ahsoka and Padme were brought out and chained up alongside us. After a bit of banter between Obi-Wan and Anakin the animals were brought out. The three beasts from the movie were brought out but there were two more to match our numbers. The Reek, Acklay and Nexu with a Wampa that was shaved to have thin fur and a severely beaten loth-wolf.

One look at the loth wolf and it started moving towards me. I could see it had no hostility in its eyes as we simply looked at each other as it approached. The poor wolf had several scars from cuts and burns and seemed to have been starved. I knew from the Star Wars Rebels show that Loth-Wolf's were force sensitive like their counterparts the loth-cats so I knew it wouldn't hurt me as I could simply feel its intentions in the force.

As the others were escaping or surviving I just waited for the massive wolf to approach. When it got to me it raised its paw and swiped. Its claws cleaved the chain and my hands fell. It bit down on the chain connecting my hands and snapped it apart with sheer force. I approached it and played my hand on its head as I channeled the force. It flinched back a bit but came back as it felt its pain leaving it. While the others were causing chaos I stood and healed the beast while watching what was going on.

I could see Dooku looking at the geonosian leader like he was scum as he had likely recognized the loth-wolf as a force sensitive creature and was upset at its treatment just like I was. After some more chaos I saw Mace Windu come out and level his saber at Windus neck and speak with him as more Jedi started popping up in the crowd.

As Jedi started jumping out of the stands droids started entering the arena. I could see multiple blaster bolts lance past Windu as he jumped down away from Dooku and the fighting started. I found a lightsaber was tossed to me and I quickly mounted the loth-wolf and entered the battle. I guided the wolf towards Obi-Wan while cutting down every droid I could on the way. I reached him and helped him up the steered the wolf to the center of the arena where the pillars had fallen and most of the Jedi were.

I quickly got off and told Kenobi to defend me while I tried something. A few weeks before the initiate trials I had snuck into the archives and found the Holocrons that only knights and masters could read. I bypassed the security with the force and memorized everything I could. I had only tried the technique once with my clan and had slightly succeeded but had passed out from sensory overload.

I sat down in a meditation position and started the technique. I pushed my mind out to all the Jedi in the arena and did a sort of mental knock. Most answered and I entered their minds. As soon as I succeeded with the battle meditation my mind was bombarded by every thought and action along with everything the we're experiencing at once. I physically jolted as I felt like I was hit with a sledgehammer to the brain.

I could feel the sweat pouring down my head and the heads of others as I filtered everything and transmitted all the necessary info the others needed to function as one. I could barely tell what was going on even as I saw everyone start fighting perfectly. My brain pounded with pain as I could hear my own heart beat sinc with that of over 200 people. My body gave out as my mind felt like it was collapsing. My muscles were twitching from signals they weren't getting and my brain reached its limit.

I could see through Obi-Wans eyes that I was convulsing in the sand as blood poured from my mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. As the world grew dark from my perspective I could hear through others the engines of ships and smell ozone as gunship cannons annihilated massive swathes of droids. I saw the loth-wolf pick me up with my robes and bound over to an LAAT and squeeze itself in with the clones and Kenobi.

I woke up a few hours later to a clone medic and a Jedi healer leaning over me with both occasionally glancing at the massive wolf curled up at my head.
