Chapter 6: Jango Fett!
=========================
So after seeing the Clone army in action and learning more and more about them from the Prime Minister, the Kaminoan did what they promised and took the two Jedi's to meet Jango Fett, the bounty hunter their looking for and the man behind the attempted assassination of Ardan's friend.
Obi-Wan looked to Ardan as they both followed be hind the Kaminoan worried that the boys lack of experience would get them into trouble here but he hasn't yet, the boy has honestly been as collected and centered as most Jedi Master's on this assignment so surly he can't screw up now.
Both Jedi's came to a stop though when the Kaminoan stopped at a door and pressed an intercom of sorts, they both waited as Obi-Wan looked once again to Ardan and nodded to Ardan slightly telling him to be ready fro anything, Ardan was and actually he was hoping something might go down so he could use his new Saber.
Kaminoan: Boba, is your father here?
Ardan looked to see a boy near identical to the Clones, this must be the Clone Jango requested not to be enhanced.
Boba: Yep.
The boy just said simple not doing anything but look back at the trio standing by the door.
Kaminoan: May we see him?
The Kaminoan asked as Boba looked to the Alien species, Boba didn't seem any different then a normal young boy.
Boba: Sure.
Boba looked both Jedi's up and down not sure what to think of them but turned around and walked into the living quarters, the Kaminoan stepped aside allowing the Jedi's to enter first with Ardan following the Jedi Master.
Boba: Dad, Taun We's here
Obi-Wan and Ardan looked around the small quarters as the Kaminoan now known as Taun We stands beside young Boba who hasn't stopped looking at the Jedi with a look that said "I don't like you"
Taun We: Jango, welcome back.
Ardan and Obi-Wan looked to the walk way they just stepped through to see Jango Fett, walking towards them, he was the spitting image of the Clones and Ardan isn't sure if he isn't one, Obi-Wan and Ardan still bow'd respectfully, not certain that this is the bounty hunter their looking for also they don't want to piss off the guy who helped them get an army.
Taun We: Was your trip productive?
Jango looked to Ardan but turned to Obi-Wan, Ardan could tell be the smirk on his face that he knew who Obi-Wan is and seen him before.
Jango: Fairly.
Obi-Wan and Jango stood in front of each other while Ardan tried to form a plan to see if the Bounty Hunter will trip up.
Taun We: This is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Ardan Solari. They've come to check on our progress.
Ardan looked to the Jedi Master and could see that he knew who he was looking at and knew it was the right man, Ardan also had that feeling but why their not acting on this, he doesn't know.
Obi-Wan: Your Clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.
Ardan stayed out of it though knowing that the more experienced Jedi has some form of plan, at least he hopes he has a plan.
Jango: I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the Universe.
Ardan already saw he was lying, they told them he was a bounty hunter, Jango is far from a simple man.
Obi-Wan: Ever made your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?
Ardan looked between the Jedi and bounty hunter keeping his guard up just encase this guys stupid enough to attack a Jedi.
Jango: Once or twice?
He answered back pretty quickly but Obi-Wan was trying to catch him on a lie so asked back even faster.
Obi-Wan: Recently?
All eyes in the room are darting between the two but Ardan looked over to the boy, Boba and saw he looked uneasy and slightly worried, he clearly knows something.
Jango: Possibly.
Ardan then remembered about what happened in the room with the Prime Minister, Obi-Wan spoke without moving his mouth and Ardan read something about Sith being able to read minds, since Ardan is now balanced in the force, maybe it's a skill he picked up and tried to read the boys mind.
Obi-Wan: Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas.
Obi-Wan continued to question Jango while Ardan tried to see if his theory about him being able to read minds is true and to get the answers from the boy but he stopped when Jango approached the young boy after avoiding Obi-Wan's question.
Jango: Uh, Boba, rood eht so-heeck.
Ardan knew what language that was, it's the language of the Mandalorian's, Obi-Wan told Ardan that they were looking for a Mandalorian and the only people who can speak it are Mandalorian's, so even Ardan didn't know what he said.
Ardan watched as Boba left the room worried about what is going on while Jango still played with Obi-Wan turning back to the Jedi Master.
Jango: Master who?
Ardan watched as Boba pressed a hand panel but as he walked passed Ardan noticed what looked like armour resting in the room to the side, he didn't get a clear look at it as Boba clearly pressed a button to lock the door, so the armour could have been the same as the Clones were recently seen in.
Obi-Wan: Sifo-Dyas. Is he not the Jedi who hired you for this job?
Obi-Wan answered Jango with a question of his own as Ardan understood that the Fett's now have something to hide all while Boba returned to them.
Jango stepped closure towards Obi-Wan making Ardan slowly and unseen move his right hand to rest on his Purple Saber resting on his right side hidden by his cloak.
Jango: Never heard of him.
There was a moment of silence as Jango and Obi-Wan never broke eye contacted both seemingly knowing who the other is but not wanting to start a fight here and now.
Obi-Wan: Really?
Obi-Wan asked clearly not believing the man as Taun We and Boba stood behind Jango and Ardan stayed behind Master Kenobi, no one moving a single muscle.
Jango: I was recruited by a man called Tyranus on one of the moons of Bogden.
Ardan's heard that name before "Tyranus" he must have read about it or something but it sounded familiar.
Obi-Wan: Curious.
Obi-Wan just responded, Ardan isn't sure if Obi-Wan found the name familiar or if once again Ardan was just over thinking it and Tyranus is just someone who lives here and was sent to find someone that would step in as the base model for them.
Jango: Do you like your army?
Jango asked breaking the silence that once again entered the room.
Obi-Wan: I look forward to seeing them in action.
Ardan looked around trying to see if something would link this man to the bounty hunter their looking for, they both have a feeling it's this man but without any proof, they can't do anything about it.
Jango: They'll do their job well. I'll guarantee that.
Ardan got that this guy's a Mandalorian and that's about it from this conversation.
Obi-Wan: Thank you for your time, Jango.
Master Kenobi bowed respectfully making Ardan follow his actions.
Jango: Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi.
That's another lie from this man, Mandalorian's hate Jedi's so why is he lying and what are they hiding, those are the questions that kept on filling Ardan's mind as they walked out the small home followed by Taun We.
Obi-Wan and Ardan moved so they can be lead by Taun We to the exit also to speak alone,
Ardan: Is he the guy?
Ardan asked Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan couldn't answer that truthfully so he just looked to and from the boy, Ardan knew what that meant and wanted to tell him about his potential mind reading abilities but thought it best to leave it till he's sure, a crazy Jedi doesn't sound like a fun thing to be tagged as.
Taun We: Tell your Council that the first battalions are ready. And remind them, if they need more troops, it will take more time to grow them.
Taun We said as they cam to the door leading out into the rain where both of their Starfighters are waiting.
Obi-Wan: I won't forget, and thank you.
Obi-Wan and Ardan bowed as Taun We treated the with the same respect, Obi-Wan lead Ardan out the settlement and towards their fighters as they both lifted their hoods once again.
Ardan stopped close to the Starfighters though and turned back to where they just left making Obi-Wan look to him.
Obi-Wan: What is it?
Ardan looked back and just shook his head, it's probably just him over thinking things that doesn't need to be dove into.
Obi-Wan: Speak your mind young one.
Ardan stopped and stood next to Obi-Wan as they both got covered in rain.
Ardan: Everything Jango said was a lie.
Obi-Wan already knew that but Ardan knew somethings that the Jedi Master did not.
Ardan: He was speaking Mandalor and had armour locked away.
Obi-Wan looked to Ardan as if that was the evidence they needed to strike and walked towards his Starfighter waking up R4.
Obi-Wan: R4!
R4 woke up soaking wet from being out in the rain this long and looked around a little till he spotted Obi-Wan and Ardan standing in the poring rain.
Obi-Wan: Scramble code five to Coruscant, care of the old folks' home!
Ardan stood by Obi-Wan as a small satellite dish appeared and searched for the right signal till it found it and they were able to talk to Master's Yoda and Windu as they looked to a small hologram of Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan: We have successfully made contact with the Prime Minister of Kamino. They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a Clone army. I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we are looking for.
Master Yoda and Master Windu listened to the words Obi-Wan was saying as they took in everything.
Windu: Do you think these cloners are involved in the plot to assassinate Senator Amidala?
Obi-Wan kept looking around like he was expecting to find something as he continued to speak with the most powerful of the Council while Ardan stood by just getting wet.
Obi-Wan: No, Master. There appears to be no motive.
Ardan could see that they were not a problem but Master Yoda has a point.
Yoda: Do not assume anything, Obi-Wan. Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.
Ardan looked and thought he could see a cargo ship not to far away from them but in this storm anything is impossible to see clearly.
Obi-Wan: Yes, Master. They say Master Sifo-Dyas placed an order for a Clone army at the request of the senate almost ten years ago. I was under the impression he was killed before that. Did the Council ever authorize the creation of a Clone army?
Master Yoda and Master Windu shared a concerned look as this meant that someone is inside the Jedi Order and high ranked when they shouldn't be.
Windu: No. Whoever placed that order did not have the authorization of the Jedi Council.
This is a great concern to all Jedi's, why would someone ask for a Clone army to be built without permission and to use a name of a Jedi Master that was killed a long time ago.
Yoda: Bring him here. Question him we will.
Master Yoda ordered making Obi-Wan understand his orders but before they could leave both Master Yoda and Master Windu wanted to speak with Ardan.
Windu: Ardan?
Obi-Wan stepped out the way of the radar allowing the young Jedi to take his place as the mini hologram.
Ardan: Yes, Master?
Both the Master were glad to see the young boy safe, not that they didn't trust Obi-Wan but with the prophecy surrounding the boy, it's hard not to worry.
Windu: Did you get your Crystal?
Ardan nodded and was going to pull it out and show them but the hologram wouldn't show the colour anyway so there want's much point.
Ardan: I did. It's Orange Master. I was a little surprised when I saw it.
Obi-Wan remembered when he got it and they were both as surprised as the other, Master's Yoda and Windu however seem pleased with this.
Windu: Excellent news. Do as Obi-Wan says and bring Fett back alive.
Ardan bowed cutting the call off leaving just Master Yoda and Master Windu in the room alone and in silence.
Windu: The prophecy is coming true.
Master Yoda nodded and thought as it seems that Master Windu's training for the boy has come to an end.
Yoda: Trian the boy more, I will.
Master Windu understood that as the prophecy says Ardan will destroy the Emperor, to do that he needs the best training he can get, Master Windu has taught him everything he knows in the Force and combat, now it's time for Master Yoda to teach him about his mind...
