Chapter 21: Spirits of the sith

A gunships flies through the sky and arrives at the huge castle that us surrounded by Republic clone troopers securing around the castle ans searching for a Chaos Emerald anywhere as the Gunships lands on the ground and opens the hatch as Noble Squad exit out of the gunship and make their way to Javier who is with a few Clone troopers inside the castle's walls as he turns to see Noble Squad.

Javier: (smile) Noble Squad, glad you four showed up. We need all the help we can get.

Y/n: Sure thing commander. So what do you have for us?

Javier: Well we believe this area is where the Chaos Emerald might be at however we spread out to find it however we have no luck finding it what so far.

Brains: Can Knuckles not sense the Chaos engery or Tail have a device to detect it?

Javier: Yes but Knuckles told me something is blocking his senses and Tails can't detect anything, it's almost like something is not allowing us to find the Chaos Emeralds.

Rusher: Well that seems suspicious.

Cleaner: Could be the Separatist?

Y/n: I don't think so. Still we should be on high alert for any suspicious activity while we look around.

Javier: Understood.

We then cut to Sonic, Amy, Tails and two Clone troopers walking through the garden and looking around for a Chaos Emerald while Tails tries to fix his datapad which is starting to glitch out.

Tails: Something is very wrong here. I never seen it doing something like this before.

Sonic: Well let's keep our eyes out for any shiny.

Clone troopers: Yes sir.

Amy: (smile) Still it's pretty nice walking through the garden. The garden is pretty nice if you think about it, don't you think so too Sonic?

Sonic: Huh? Sorry I was thinking he delicious Hot Dogs back home ready to eat.

Amy gets a little mad and looks away while two Clone troopers look around and then one stop which cost the other one to stop.

Clone trooper 2: What?

Clone trooper 1: Look.

He turn and noticed what looks like a statu like sand time sitting ona stone stand as they approach it while Sonic, Tails and Amy kept walking and once close, they see the top has the symbol of a sun.

Clone trooper 1: Wonder what this is?

Clone trooper 2: No idea but it looks ancient. We should take this to the commander.

Clone trooper 1: Right.

He grab the stone sand timer and lifted out which suddenly cost Javier to groan while he grab his head and kneel down while Y/n noticed and rush over to him.

Y/n: You okay sir?

Javier: Y-Yeah. I-I sense a disturbance within the force. I'm not too sure what this is but I feel like we shouldn't have come here.

Y/n stared at Javier, wondering what he ment by that while on the window above them, we see eyes looking down at them and laughing like children.

(Meanwhile)

We see Knuckles with two Clone troopers inside the castle as they are walking down the long hallway with candles the only light they can safely travel.

Then one of the clone troopers heard what sounded like a child laughing so he turn back and look around.

Clone trooper 1: Whose there?

There was no response as he turn back and continue on walking while the other clone trooper tells Knuckles.

Clone trooper 2: This place gives me the creeps.

Knuckles: (smirk) Already scared?

Clone troopers 2: Not really, just saying this place is creepy. Aren't you?

Knuckles: (smirk) I've been through scary things like this one, there is nothing that scares me.

Clone trooper 2: Whatever you say.

They kept on walking while the other clone trooper hears a child laughing again on his right which he turn and sees only darkness.

Clone trooper 1: Hey, do you hear that?

Clone trooper 2: Hear what?

Clone trooper 1: I hear a child laughing.

Knuckles: That's impossible, there's no kids here. Maybe it's just in your head.

Clone trooper 1: No I literally can hear it, listen.

They stood there in slince, waiting for a child laughing but after a short while, there was nothing.

Clone trooper 2: Can't hear anything.

Clone trooper 1: I'm telling you there is something here, I'm gonna go and investigate.

He takes right as Knuckles and the other clone trooper watched as he disappeared into the darkness on his right. They stare at the black void and then Knuckles ask.

Knuckles: Should we go and help him?

Clone trooper 2: He's a tough trooper, I'm sure he'll be fi-

Suddenly they hear a terrify scream follow by blaster fire and more terrify screams as the two rush over and once they turn around the corner, he was gone and the only thing was left was his blaster rifle.

The Clone trooper bend down to the blaster rifle and then radios in Javier.

Clone trooper 2: Sir, something attacked one of the troopers, we need back up.

???: (radio) There is no escape. There is no escape. (Children laughing)

Clone trooper 2: Who the hell is this? How did you-

Suddenly the two have a cold feeling and they turn to a wall next to them and seconds later hands shot out and there was a scream which was heard by everyone as Javier and Noble Squad heard it.

Javier: Let's go!

Y/n: Yes sir?

Javier, Noble Squad and a few Clone troopers rush inside and race through the hallways until they turn around the corner and sees hands grabbing the Clone trooper while Knuckles try to fight them but his fists gone through them.

Knuckles: What are those thing!

Javier: (shocked) I sense a strong connection to the dark side od the force.

Y/n: Troopers, open fire!

They open fire at the hands by their bolts go through them which shocked them. Soon Sonic, Amy amd Tails arrived as Sonic use his spin dash but his attack goes through them.

Sonic: (shocked) What the-?

The Clone trooper screamed while he was pulled through the wall and soon Knuckles was grabbed, follow by Tails and Sonic as the two were pulled into the wall.

Amy: Sonic!

Y/n: Hold your fire! Those bolts ain't gonna hurt them!

Javier: We have to pull back now!

Amy: No! Not without Sonic!

Sonic: Just go! Get, out of here no-

Then the trio were pulled into the wall as Amy watched. Amy try to break the wall with her hammer but nothing worked. Javier and the others stood there in shock as they wonder what were those things.

(Soon)

Back at camp, a Clone trooper places the sand timer statue onto the table and tells them.

Clone trooper 1: This was found outside of the castle. Whatever this is, it's ancient.

Javier: I sense something weird about this thing. Whatever this is, it's given out a strong connection to the force.

Y/n: Do you think those Ghost were somewhat sith?

Javier: That would be impossible. However whoever or whatever those things are, they are strong in the dark aids of the force.

Amy: I don't care what those things are, they have Sonic and my friends and we need to bring them back!

Brains: Not so fast Amy, first we need to know how we can defeat them and where they have taking them.

Javier: Trooper, show us where you find this thing as soon as possible.

Clone trooper 1: Yes sir, fellow me.

Soon they are seen standing in front of the stone stand where the trooper found it. Javier approaches it and look around and noticed something.

Javier: There is gap. I think this might be a entrance to a secret room or something. Amy, can you use your hammer to open up?

Amy: (smirk) With pleasure.

She summons her hammer and then slammed it which the stone stand open to reveal a flight of stairs as they look down.

Javier: Amy, Noble Squad, you all are with me. The rest stay up here and call us if there is any trouble.

Clone trooper 1: Yes sir.

Y/n: Alright Noble Squad, let's move out.

Javier active his singal blade light saber and they go down the steps. Javier use his singal blade as a light source as they walk down the steps while Javier have chills through up his spin.

Amy: You okay?

Javier: Yes I never sense such strongest in the dark side before. Its cold....really cold.

Amy: Well the sooner we find Sonic the better.

They continue on walking down the steps until they finally reach the ground floor as they walk through the long hallway until Javier stopped. Soon spirit like ghost appear and flies towards them.

Javier: Get behind me!

He activated his second blade as he spins his double bladed lights saber, ready to battle them but suddenly they stopped, looked at Javier and turn and ran away.

Cleaner: What was that about?

Brains: I may not be a jedi but I think it has something to do with Javier and his connection towards the light. Maybe they are afraid of how strong Javier is towards the light.

Amy: (smirk) If that so then we have no problems passing through them.

Amy charges ahead which they go after all. Soon they rush through a open door and they look around for the sith spirits and then Brains spotted them going through a close door downstairs and tells them.

Brains: They give through those doors down there.

Javier: I sense something very strong is in there.

Y/n: Then let get ready for it.

They climb down the steps and get to the door. Y/n opens the door and they rush inside and sees nothing but a circular like room but what was in the middle was a purple Chaos Emerald as Y/n walks over and picks it up.

Y/n: What is this doing here?

Sonic: Guys! Guys!

Amy: Sonic!

Cleaner: Where are you?!

Sonic: Up here!

They all look up and sees Sonic looking down on them within a purple like world with the unconscious Knuckles, Tails and a few Clone troopers.

Rusher: How did they get up there?!

Y/n: Sonic are you and tur others alright?!

Sonic: They're okay but you must listen! I always loved you Amy Rose.

Y/n: What?

Amy: (smile) Oh sorry I always love you as well.

Sonic: You can save us by placing that stone inro that space on he wall.

They looked over to see the space as Amy towards walks and ask.

Amy: Like this one?

Sonic: Yes, good job Amy, now turn it around to the shape of a moon.

She does so as she sees the symbol of the moan while Y/n reads Sonics lips and it doesn't match up. He then realised and turns to see Amy around to place the stone onto the space.

Y/n: AMY NO, ITS A TRICK!!!

But Amy placethe stone in and suddenly there was a huge shake and suddenly spirits came out follow by a huge spirit like ghost who laughs to see they have been tricked.

Y/n: That was not Sonic! They tricked us!

Cleaner: No wonder Jedi banned love in the jedi order. Now that understand!

Javier lifted out his hand, using his force push as the spirits were blown away but return back and charges towards Javier as he ready himself and swings his light saber which the spirits go through him.

Noble Squad open fire at the ghost but they go through the bolts but they kept on firing at them.

Amy: (anger) Your gonna pay for tricking me you stupid ghos-

Suddenly a ghost enters her body as she stood there while Noble Squad turns to her and then noticed Javier was not moving as well.

Y/n: Javier? Amy?

Then they turn to them, with red eyes as they start to attack them but they dodge their attacks.

Cleaner: What are they doing?!

Brains: They've been possessed!

Rusher: What do we do now? We were not trained to battle ghost!

Y/n: Stay calm Squad, we were trained to deal impossible situations like this, we'll think of a plan!

The ghost and two possessed Javier and Amy slowly walks towards them while they were laughing like children as Noble Squad was ready for them. Then Y/n sees the stone beside him and realised something. If the moon is their way to be free, then the sun is their weakness.

He then grabs the stone, turn it to the sun symbol as the ghost sees this in horror.

Y/n: Time to come out the dark and into the light!

He slammed the stone onto the space, making a huge light which cost the ghosts to scream while the two possessed Javier and Amy was free as they fell on one knee as the ghost let out a roar of pain as the light hits them and then they disappeared.

After that Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and the other Clone troopers appear in the middle of the room as they all get up.

Knuckles: That was creepy.

Tails: Yeah, I gonna have nightmares for a long while.

Y/n: Still we have the Chaos Emerald, mission complete, time to get out of here.

(Soon)

Zack, Shark and a few Clone troopers arrived to back them up as Javier hands the Chaos Emerald to Zack and they told them what happened.

Zack: I see. These ghost you encounter were no other then sith spirits.

Javier: How come is there siths here? How can that be possible?

Zack: I'm not too sure. I'll inform the jedi Council about this, still disbite that you were strong enough to resist its dark power, (smile) I'm proud of you my palawan.

Javier: (smile) I just believe on the force to help us to face the evil within this castle.

Zack: (smile) I'm glad for that. As for you Noble Squad, thank you for saving my Padawan and everyone else.

Y/n: Just doing our job sir.

Zack: (smile) Still, good job.

The four saluted to Zack and after that they return back to base while Zack and Shark stay and investigate the castle as Zack turns to the castle as he look at it while he thinks to himself.

Zack: (thought) What secrets does this castle hold about the sith?
