Chapter 13: Order 66!


(This might be the longest Chapter I've ever wrote, I really hope you enjoy!)

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

Ardan and Kyly helped the Clones and Wookiees destroy the Droids invasion and made their way back to Master Yoda just as they felt a shift in the Force, Kyly knelt by Master Yoda as he seemed to be in discomfort where as Ardan pulled out his Saber and blocked a shot from one Clone and cut down the other two with ease.

Order 66 is happening and all over the Galaxy Jedi's are being shot down completely unaware of what's happening.

Yoda: The Temple, Younglings must be helped...

Ardan knew what he needed to do and he sat on the floor focusing on the Force, the feeling of this turn in the Force has made him see the Light side more clearly allowing him to appear in the Jedi Temple with the Younglings hiding inside the Council chambers.

Youngling: Master Solari? There are too many of them. What are we going to do?

Ardan looked around and saw them sacred but now isn't the time for fear, it's the time for bravery and courage so he knelt beside the boy making them all walked towards the oldest in the room

Ardan: What's your name young one?

The kids around him are clearly worried about all the shooting and fighting they can hear and the fact the Clones have turned on the Republic.

Toby: Toby, Master.

Ardan ignored all the Master business for now as there are more important thing to deal with, like getting this kids out safely.

Ardan: Okay, Toby. When I give the signal. I want you all to run as fast as you can and take them to a ship, ask the pilot to take you to Jakku, it's a safe zone and I'll meet you all there.

Toby nodded agreeing as Ardan pulled out both his Sabers keeping them dethatched for this fight just as someone walked in and Ardan stood up and saw Anakin and a feeling of relief washed over him.

Ardan: Anakin. You gotta help me get these kids out of here...

Ardan turned back to the younglings and went to push them towards Anakin but all Ardan heard was a Lightsaber igniting, Ardan turned to see a look in Anakin's eyes that he only saw once before, in his Brothers.

Ardan: Anakin. Your my friend. Don't go down this path, their only kids.

Ardan twitched his right hand a little giving them the signal to get ready, Ardan picked his Orange Saber off his belt holding it in his left hand and igniting it like Anakin has.

Ardan: Please don't do this. Think of Padme...

Anakin seemed to calm down a little but it was no good, Anakin's been turned to the dark side.

Anakin: I'm doing this for Padme!

The Younglings move out the was as Anakin lunged at Ardan forcing a duel to break out with Ardan on the defence but Anakin trying to kill the boy who's been casting a shadow over him for years...

... Meanwhile back on Kashyyyk, Chewbacca carried the seemingly asleep Ardan in his arms and away from the Clones towards the ship Master Yoda, Kyly and Ardan came in, Kyly helped protect them with BD on her back, on the way to the ship which fortunately didn't take them long allowing Master Yoda to climb off Trafful's back.

Yoda: Good-bye, Tarfful. Good-bye Chewbacca.

Chewbacca let out a small roar that Kyly didn't understand as Master Yoda used the Force to keep Ardan safely in the air.

Yoda: Miss you I will.

Both Wookiees watch sad as the Jedi's climbed on board, back at the Temple Ardan has used his stamina to wear Anakin down and buy the Youngling's time to get away...

... Ardan and Anakin locked Sabers as Ardan still tried to save Anakin from a path he can't come back from.

Ardan: Anakin! Focus. This isn't you!

Anakin used the Force to push him back but Ardan just used it as momentum and pushed himself off the wall and towards Anakin pulling out his Purple Saber and forcing Anakin to defend this time putting Obi-Wan's training to the test.

... Anakin was over whelmed by Ardan's speed from training with both Master's Yoda and Windu easily over powering Anakin.

Ardan: What would Padme say if she saw you like this!?

Anakin kept on attacking more aggressively making more and more mistakes as he went.

Anakin: She'd understand!

Anakin swung his Saber down forcing Ardan to block holding his sabers in a cross motion and dropping to one knee, Ardan may be more powerful in the Force but in strength, Anakin over powers him.

Ardan: Good-bye, my friend.

Ardan then slowly disappeared before Anakin's eyes making him remember that Ardan's not on Coruscant, Ardan's on his way back no one Senator Organa's ship coming back, Anakin was played like a fiddle and it's built the rage in him even more...

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

Ardan woke up lying on a bed with Kyly next to him making sure he's okay, Ardan sat up panting and upset from what he just saw and went through.

Kyly: Are you okay?

She asked worried as Ardan looked to her, that's two people now Ardan's held dear that have turned to the Dark side, first Kobo and now Anakin both times Ardan has failed to save them.

Ardan: I failed, Anakin. I failed him.

Ardan thought back to the time he was inside the Chancellor's office, Ardan could have killed him where he stood but didn't, he chose the way of the Jedi and now it's got so many people killed.

Ardan was clearly upset by the thought of all those kids not making it out was eating him up inside, they became Jedi's to protect people not get cut down before your 10th birthday.

Kyly held Ardan in her arms as he calmed down from the events that took place, when a knock came to the door and a crew member walked in.

Crew: They requested you on the bridge.

She then left the Jedi's alone as they both stood up, Ardan left his robe behind and attached his Sabers together making them easier to carrying on one hip instead of both and walked into the bridge with Kyly in front of him to see two pilots, Senator Organa, Master Yoda and Master Kenobi, safe and sound heading towards Coruscant.

Pilot: We're receiving a message from the Chancellor's office, sir.

Ardan and Kyly sat on the last two free seats as Senator Organa asked for the message to be played and the pilot sent it through to them making them see the Vice Chair, Mas Amedda appear on the screen in front of them.

Amedda: Senator Organa, the supreme Chancellor requests your presence at a special session of Congress.

Senator Organa replied that he'll be there giving the Vice Chair the answer he wanted causing the message to shut off and the screen to go back to what it was before.

Blair: Could be a trap. 

The Senator said turning to the four Jedi in the room, these might just be the only ones left alive in the Galaxy right now, both Ardan's and Kyly's Masters are gone, they don't know that yet but they can feel it.

Obi-Wan: I don't think so. The Chancellor will not be able to control the thousands of star systems without keeping the senate intact.

This is was above Ardan's and Kyly's pay grand so they just sat back and let the Masters work out the plan and how to act.

Yoda: If a special session of Congress there is, easier for us to enter the Jedi Temple it will be.

Master Yoda said turning to Obi-Wan, Ardan and Kyly making them nod in agreement as the four Jedi's got ready to find out what's really going on and why, Ardan know's he saw Anakin but he's keeping it to himself right now and so is Kyly both already assuming that Obi-Wan and Yoda know about it.

The ship landed and the four Jedi went to the Temple as Senator Organa made his way to the special Congress, it didn't take long for the highly trained Jedi to take out the Clone guards in front of the Temple and they soon ran into the Temple only for Ardan to shed a tear as the Younglings he tried to protect laid dead on the floor.

Obi-Wan: Not even the younglings survived.

Kyly was with Obi-Wan and Yoda before she realised that Ardan isn't by her side and turned to see him kneeling by a young boy, she walked over to him as he closed the younglings eyes.

Ardan: I'm sorry, Toby. I'm truly sorry.

Ardan couldn't help the tears brew as he stood up and she hugged him, if Ardan was here instead of on Kashyyyk where he wasn't really needed he might have saved a few but instead they died before they could even call themselves Jedi's.

Yoda: Killed not by Clones... This Padawan. By a Lightsaber he was.

Ardan and Kyly walked over to the Masters as they saw Master Yoda shed a tear something they've never seen him do in all their time at the Jedi Temple training.

Shyon: You always were the wise one Master!

All Jedi's looked up to see Darth Shyon walking towards them with his Saber handle in his hand, Obi-Wan was about to draw his Saber to fight him but Ardan stopped him.

Ardan: No, Master. He's mine to deal with...

Obi-Wan was about to argue but Ardan was already drawing his Saber, Kyly watched worried as Ardan said one of them won't leave if they were to fight so she joined him by his side hoping to marry him one day.

Ardan: Go with them...

Obi-Wan and Yoda watched as Ardan showed great courage standing up to his brother and his past.

Kyly: No. I'm staying with you.

Ardan smiled to her as the sound of a Saber caught there attention, Master's Obi-Wan and Yoda continued to find the truth and put a stop to this madness while Kyly ignited her Saber and Ardan ignited both of his.

Shyon: You can stop this now, little brother. Join me and we can rule the Galaxy.

Ardan walked towards him, not ran or tip toed but walked with a purpose and confidence knowing what he must do right now.

Ardan: After what you've done. You'll be begging me to kill you instead of join you.

Darth Shyon let out a laugh as he watched his little brother approach him, Kyly stayed back only heling if Ardan will need it.

Shyon: Spoken like a true Sith Lord.

That enraged Ardan as he went after Shyon starting the battle between brothers, once closure then any but now they couldn't be more different.

Shyon: Come on, your better then that.

Ardan went to use the force to push him away but instead Shyon expected him to do it and activated the spin on his Saber forcing Ardan to put in a block but he wasn't quick enough and Shyon cut his Sabers in two, Shyon jumped up and kicked Ardan away making his Purple Saber fall off the edge, leaving him with one blade.

Shyon: You are to weak. Join me and I can make you stronger then you could ever imagine.

Ardan sat up and was about to keep on fighting but he saw Kyly dash passed him.

Kyly: Leave him alone!

Ardan reached out to her trying to stop her as she and Shyon started to fight.

Ardan: Kyly! Stop!

Kyly didn't stop and tried her best against the Sith Lord but Ardan could see Shyon was just playing around, she was no where near as matched with a Saber as she was so Ardan quickly got to his feet and ran to help her...

... Ardan and Kyly worked together well as she was using all the techniques Ardan taught her from his lessons with Master's Windu and Yoda making it seem like Shyon was fighting the same person with double the power.

Darth Shyon was no longer toying with them and could feel his brother's strength and will to out last him getting stronger and stronger so he needed to end it fast.

... Shyon kicked Kyly away leaving just Ardan alone to fight him.

Ardan: That was a bad move.

Ardan grew more confident the longer the fight went on for, Shyon's been watching Ardan over the passed few years and knows that he lets his opponent wear themselves down before ending the fight.

Shyon: How so?

Ardan jumped up and spun kicked his brother's helmet off his head leaving him to see his yellow eyes.

Ardan: She's the only reason your not dead yet.

Ardan was now toying with Shyon and he hated that and grew more and more aggressive with each and every attack giving Ardan what he wants.

... Ardan twirled his Orange Saber in his hands while tip toeing around Shyon, Kyly watched as Ardan seemed to be in complete control and that cheered her up thinking that Ardan while put this to bed soon.

Shyon: It's your fault you know...

Ardan and Shyon clashed Sabers holding it in place as Ardan knew what he was saying, Ardan told Kodo this just after they joined the Jedi Order, Kyly watched though as Ardan looked panicked.

Shyon: ... Mom died giving birth to you, without you she would still be here.

Ardan dropped his guard hurt by that, he believed that for so long but Kodo made him see else wise but in dropping his guard Shyon attacked and got the best of Ardan...

... Kyly got up and grabbed her Saber as Shyon knocked Ardan of balance and kicked him to the floor, Shyon was about to kill Ardan but Kyly stopped him and went to attack him but he blocked it easily and was tired of toying around...

... Ardan watched as Shyon's Saber went into her stomach and leave, Ardan felt all the rage built up, his Mother's death, his Brother leaving him, Master Windu's Death, Kodo being alive and killing their father, now him taking the women he loves from him.

Ardan: Nooooooooooooo!

Ardan left out a pulse of Force Knocking Shyon on his ass, Ardan jumped to his feet easily and used the force to bring both his and Kyly's dropped Saber to him and attacked this son of a bitch...

... Shyon retreated as far as he can as he looked to his brother's blood red eyes filled with rage and pain as he walked towards him with his Orange Saber in his right hand and Kyly's Green Saber in his left, those mixed with his blood red eyes made Shyon smile.

Shyon: What did I tell you? You were born to kill...

Shyon stopped as Ardan put his Orange Saber away and lifted Shyon in the air with the Force and held him there, Darth Shyon was not the most powerful warrior in this room and it's shows as Ardan closed his hand and Shyon could feel his inside being squeezed in his hand.

Ardan stayed their for a few moments hearing his screams and enjoying them till he had enough and dropped him to the cold floor, Shyon dropped his Saber through all that and Ardan used the force to call it to him and when he caught it he saw all the things he went through that turned him to the dark side.

It was nothing Ardan went through.

Ardan: You turned you're back on me because mom died and you cried about it.

Ardan was really pissed by this, he thought his brother was this strong warrior a Jedi to look up to but in realisation he was weak minded and the murderer of the women he loves.

Shyon moved to his knees and Ardan dropped his Saber taking his Orange one back in his grip and holding them to his brother neck.

Shyon: Ardan I...

Ardan cut him off as he cut his head off...

... Ardan shut off the sabers placing his one back on his hip and walking towards where Kyly was laying, Ardan calmed down and his eyes went back to blue again and it hit him that he lost her, nothing else means anything to him but her being in his arms, Ardan cried more then he's ever cried before as he held her in his arms.

Ardan looked up from her though remembering all the things he read about and one of them was a Sith power to bring someone back from the brink of death or even death itself, Ardan never learned to use it properly but now's a good time to try right.

Ardan: Your not leaving me as well...

Ardan gently layed her back down as Obi-Wan and Master Yoda came back from seeing what Anakin and Shyon did together, both Masters saw Shyon's beheaded body and Kyly's laying on the floor, Obi-Wan was about to walk over to the boy to console him but Master Yoda stopped him.

Yoda: Wait. See this out we must...

Obi-Wan looked from Master Yoda to Ardan as he placed his right hand on her forehead and used every bit of pain and sadness he had to access the Dark side and use the Force to bring her back to him, this is a power no Jedi in history has ever been ale to possess but it's forbidden.

Obi-Wan and Master Yoda watched as Kyly's eyes opened...

... She gasped and looked to Ardan as the hole in her stomach was gone and even scars and marks from previous fights, it's like she's a whole knew women.

Kyly: Ari?

Ardan nodded with a smile holding her face, she smiled up to him knowing that he saved her and they shared a kiss in front of both Jedi Master's...

... No longer caring what the Order thinks, Ardan loves this women and no one will take her from him again, Obi-Wan and Master Yoda watched but still had a job to do.

Yoda: Young Ardan. A fight we must win, an Emperor to stop.

Ardan broke the kiss and looked up to Master Yoda and to Obi-Wan, Master Yoda looks like he has something planned or knows something the others don't, Ardan stood up and walked towards Mater Yoda with Kyly behind him but Ardan stopped her.

Ardan: No, you're going to my Starfighter and wait for me.

Kyly was about to argue but Ardan stopped her as Obi-Wan and Master Yoda watched worried of what Ardan's just done.

Ardan: I just did something that these two would be right to cut me down for but I need you to be safe. That wasn't easy to do and took a lot out of me, I might be able to do it again but it'll get us both killed, so go and wait. BD and O2 are already there.

Kyly nodded sad that she just died and Ardan might not come back, today's been a real shit show, and Ardan hasn't even thought the Emperor yet...
