Chapter 11: Battle For the Chancellor!


(So a few Chapters ago I asked if you wanted this to be a Padme story as well, well honestly I'm not going to do that because since then I have created a story line that will branch off, so I'll make a story licked with this one on the Disney Trilogy, Han Solo story and Rogue One. I might even put Mandalorian in their somewhere.

I hope you understand but don't worry, I'll make a Padme story in the future, you have my word. Take Care!)

=========================

Obi-Wan and Anakin are making their way to the ship belonging to General Grievous in their Star Fighters...

(🟥Obi-Wan's - 🟨Anakin's)

... Where Count Dooku is hiding the Chancellor, their tasked with bringing him back safely without harm.

Anakin: Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead, the one crawling with vulture droids.

Anakin spoke to his Master, Obi-Wan from his Starfighter to Obi-Wan's as the duo took down everything in their path so they can get to the ship and save the Chancellor.

Obi-Wan: Oh, I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy.

Obi-Wan sarcastically replied as it wasn't going to be easy at all and that was proven when most of the vulture droids left the safety of Grievous's ship and sped towards them.

Obi-Wan: Oddball, do you copy?

Obi-Wan spoke into his radio hoping to get in contact with the team leader of Starfighters helping them on their assignment, Obi-Wan got the right response and Obi-Wan gave the orders.

Obi-Wan: Mark my position. Form your squad up behind me.

Obi-Wan pressed all the buttons he needs to as he got a response through the radio.

Oddball: We're on your tail, General Kenobi.

A small squad of Starfighters lined un behind Obi-Wan and Anakin's fighters while the vulture droids headed right for them.

Anakin: This is where the fun begins.

Obi-Wan didn't respond to Anakin but just gave orders for the Clone's behind him in the other Starfighters.

Obi-Wan: Let them pass between us.

They all did just that and steered the ships passed the droids while firing taking a few out as they passed, the only problem is that their is such a thing as strength in numbers.

Clone: They're all over me. Get them off my-

The radio was cut off, assuming that the droids shot him down, Obi-Wan was focused on the mission as Anakin wanted to help the Clones.

Anakin: I'm gonna go help them out.

Anakin was just about to turn around to assist their allies when Obi-Wan stopped him and looked to his left to Anakin's Starfighter.

Obi-Wan: No. No, they are doing their job so we can do ours.

Anakin didn't like it but has to obey orders given to him by the General, Anakin and Obi-Wan continued towards Grievous ship but a problem appeared.

Anakin: Missiles. Pull up.

Anakin and Obi-Wan evaded the missiles fairly easily as Obi-Wan watched them speed passed the two Jedi.

Obi-Wan: They over shot us.

Anakin looked onto his radar to see the missiles do a complete U-turn and head straight towards them again.

Anakin: They're coming around.

Obi-Wan looked to see they were as well but looked up just as a new type of Starfighter was coming towards them...

... The ship opened fire just as the two Jedi moved out the way allowing the ship to pass them and take out the missiles coming towards them.

Ardan: General Kenobi. Did you miss me?

Ardan smiled pressing a few button making both Obi-Wan and Anakin smile glad they have their backs covered.

Ardan: Good shooting.

Ardan said just over his right shoulder as Kyly was sat at the controls for the blasters, Ardan pressed a few buttons as Obi-Wan voiced his thanks.

Kyly: Thank you... Master.

Ardan sighed and shook his head, Master Plo left on a confidential assignment from the Senate a few weeks ago and asked if Ardan can keep an eye on her and help with her training, wanting to spend more time with his girlfriend he agreed, she's been winding him up about him being her new Master since.

Ardan: I told you. I'm no Master.

Ardan focused on keeping the droids off Obi-Wan's and Anakin's ships while Kyly looked disappointed at Ardan, Ardan's one of the youngest Jedi Knights in the Order's history and there's even talks of him being given a seat of the Council granting him the title of Master, Ardan would make a great teacher, he's taught Kyly more in the passed few weeks then Master Plo has in her entire time as his Padawan.

Ardan: The General and Anakin are in. Great work O2.

O2's been Ardan co pilot of sorts since her was given this Starfighter, the reason he got this Starfighter is because it's a prototype and un predictable but Ardan fixed it making it one of the fastest ships in the Galaxy.

O2: *Beep* *Boop* *Beep*

Ardan just chuckled to him and put the ship into cruise control, Ardan's feeling slightly tired from all his training, keeping Kyly prepared and making sure to keep away from Darth Shyon.

Kyly: Are you ever going to tell me, what happened to you on Geonosis?

Ardan stopped doing what he was doing for a second and thought about it, he can't tell her what happened, she might never look at him the same.

Ardan: Obi-Wan and I were taken prisoner, he was sent to Dooku, I was given to my Brother. I got free and we all got out alive.

It's not a lie but it's defiantly not the entire truth, the truth is that Shyon will do anything to get Ardan to join the Dark side, even torture the boy.

Kyly: What will you do about Shyon?

Kyly knew he was not telling her everything, Ardan's normally a truthful person so he must have a reason not to want to tell her the truth.

Ardan: He needs to be ready...

That confused Kyly, she has asked him about Shyon before but each time he deflects the question but now he has an answer.

Ardan: ... He may be lost to the Dark side but he's still my brother, if and when we fight. One of us won't walk away.

Kyly was a little worried about Ardan as Shyon is one of the most powerful Sith Lords right now but Ardan is only using a mere 2% of what he's truly capable of, he can sense Shyon right now, Ardan could go to him and slay him when he sleeps, Ardan would be lying if the thought never crossed his mind.

That's what the Dark side of the Force does, it puts thoughts into your help and clouds your judgement, luckily Ardan is heart set on bringing balance and peace to the Galaxy not set it on fire.

Kyly: Ari?

Ardan looked to see Kyly looking out the window and Ardan saw General Grievous ship speeding towards the planet below.

Ardan: Hold on. O2!

O2 helped as Ardan sped towards the falling ship, Ardan dodge the second half that broke off and shot two cables onto the back of the ship staying out the way of the thrusters making sure he doesn't burn them up with them.

Ardan: Put everything in the reverse thrusters O2!

O2 did that while Kyly braced herself for impact, this would not stop the ship from crashing but it will slow it down a great deal and is proved as the ship slide across the runway landing with all souls on board safe and sound.

Ardan: That was fun.

Ardan smiled to Kyly making her smile back with a cute giggle, they are aloud to keep their relationship but they need to keep it out of sight, the council are giving Ardan a little more leniency then any other Jedi because of the boy's potential power, taking away what he wants could create a powerful enemy...

=========================

Ardan is standing in the middle of the Jedi Council with Kyly by the door and BD sat on her shoulder, Master Plo and Master Ki-Adi-Mundi are holograms both away on respective assignments but one seat is empty and Kyly thinks Ardan is about to be asked to replace Master Oppo Rancisis in that very seat pretty much opposite Master Plo.

Windu: ... Anakin will be joining the Jedi Council.

Ardan didn't know what to think about all this, he isn't sure how to feel part of him feels angered knowing that he deserves this more then Anakin does and another part is thankful because if he does become a Master he'll have to train a Padawan

Ardan: Excuse me?

Ardan asked as the more angered side was being shown, Master Windu leant forward as the Council members would rather have him sat beside them not Anakin, the boy is to reckless.

Windu: It's out of our hands, the Chancellor demanded it and he has the final say.

Ardan was feeling even more enraged by this as his thoughts began to get louder.

Ardan *Thoughts*: That foolish old man thinks he can control the Jedi! He should stick to what he's good at and that's talking trash.

Ardan took a deep breath trying to keep his cool, Ardan bowed to the Council and walked out the door just as Anakin was about to walk in, everyone watched as Ardan was clearly not happy of losing this spot to Anakin just because he's the teachers pet.

Ardan: Congratulations.

Ardan nodded to his friend, Ardan's not angry at Anakin but he is at the Chancellor, Anakin smiled to his friend thankful for the support but even he could see he wasn't fully happy about it.

Ardan walked off without another word with Kyly and BD following him, BD still sat on Kyly's shoulder.

Anakin stepped into the centre of the room looking to where Master Yoda and Master Windu sat and Master Yoda was the first to speak.

Yoda: Allow this appointment lightly the Council does not. Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.

Yoda spoke what the other Masters were thinking about this appointment as Anakin nodded understanding why they felt that way.

Anakin: I understand.

Anakin replied with a small bow, Anakin just wants access to the restricted section of the Jedi Library so he can save Padme's life.

Windu: You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.

Anakin couldn't believe it, he was one step away from getting what he wanted and Master Windu's just pushed him back a few steps.

Anakin: What?

He asked not believing what he just heard, what he didn't know was it was a test to see if he is ready to be a Master but after looking to Master Windu for a second then around the room he kind of failed the test.

Anakin: How can you do this? This is outrageous. It's unfair. How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?

Obi-Wan and Master Yoda shared a concerned look while Master Windu look more then un pleased by his out burst

Windu: Take a seat, young Skywalker.

Master Windu indicated to the chair Ardan should be sitting in right now but he's not because Anakin was good friends with the Chancellor.

Anakin: Forgive me, Master.

Anakin bowed and took the seat as Obi-Wan shook his head to his Padawan slightly ashamed of the outburst he just gave, Master Windu kept his eyes glued to the boy as he was certain his Padawan should be sat there right now.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: We have surveyed all systems in the Republic, but have found no sign of General Grievous.

All eyes are now away from Anakin and to the Hologram of Master Ki-Adi-Mundi as finding Grievous was made a priority by the Council after Count Dooku's death.

Yoda: Hiding in the outer rim Grievous is. The outlying systems you must sweep.

Master Yoda spoke trying to understand where Grievous is hiding right now, While Obi-Wan speak up.

Obi-Wan: We do not have many ships to spare.

Obi-Wan pointed out but as it is with the Council, there's one problem after another.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: What about the Droid attack on the Wookiees?

Master Yoda pondered what to instruct after hearing both points.

Windu: It is critical we send an attack group there immediately.

Master Windu pointed out to the Master Jedi and Obi-Wan agreed.

Obi-Wan: He's right. It's a system we cannot afford to lose.

Master Yoda thought for a split second before coming up with a plan.

Yoda: Go I will. Good relations with the Wookiees I have. Young Solari will come, finish his training we must.

Master Yoda said looking around the Council, Ardan has learnt most of what he can from Master Windu and has now been training under Master Yoda for the passed few Months mainly in his Force abilities, like being able to sense the Emperor, seeing into the future and reading peoples thoughts, all things the Prophecy said he would do.

Windu: It's settled then. Yoda will take a battalion of Clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk. May the Force be with us all.

The Council ended with that Master Yoda going to find Ardan to tell him to get ready for their assignment, what he didn't know was that the boy just walked into the Chancellors office with Kyly behind him and fire in his eyes...
