Obi-Wan found himself swimming in a pool of water, betrayed by his clone army, the 212th Attack Battalion. They tried to shoot him, but ended up killing his varactyl, creating a large splash when the two fell. Obi-Wan had quickly taken control of the situation, and put his breathing tube on to prevent him from drowning. He would then move his arms to swim, carrying himself to safety. Once he found a rock wall, he immediately pressed his hands on it to climb, using his body strength to lift himself up. He did this slowly in case he encountered any droids or members of his clone unit. For the first time since this war, Obi-Wan had no idea what to do. He had completed his mission on Utapau, and defeated the droid General Grievous, but now he was on the run, being hunted by his clone unit for no reason. One thing was sure though, he had to get off this planet, and find help with this most likely happening to the other Jedi.
Once Obi-Wan climbed himself up, he made sure to hide behind a pillar when troopers were walking by. If he was going to get off this planet, he had to do it in stealth. As he got closer, Obi-Wan overheard his unit talking, asking if they saw him. Some assumed he was dead, others weren't too sure. He looked around, and it seemed like the droid army was all defeated. Inhabitants on this planet were also being taken away. Obi-Wan wanted nothing more, but to help them, but he had to save himself first. The 212th Attack Battalion were starting to go on transports, which gave Kenobi hope that he could escape peacefully. Once the last of the unit left, he decided to run in the opposite direction, hoping he wasn't seen.
While running, Kenobiwas already pulled into another room. Obi-Wan took his lightsaber from his belt ready to fight, but he lowered it once he saw they were pau'an, inhabitants of this planet. With them was the Primeminister. Tion Medon was not happy, his dark eyes glaring at the Jedi Master, "You swore to protect us, instead your clones are enslaving my people!" he hist at Obi-Wan.
"They attacked me, as well, I am not sure why, but the sooner I leave the better" Obi-Wan assured him.
"We need your help Jedi. If you want to leave alive, you will help save my people, and in return we will help you get out of you, you owe us that much"
Obi-Wan wanted to argue back. The last thing he wanted was to fight the men he had served with the past three years. He could also understand the pau'ans frustration. Reluctantly, he agreed, "Very well I will help free your people, but I suggest freeing your warriors to help take back the planet"
Primeminister Medon nodded his head, "I agree, do this, and we will let you walk out"
Obi-Wan agreed, he, and the pau'ans planned their move.
Obi-Wan hide behind pillars outside the city, watching the pau'ans being detained outside the walls. Each of them were online getting to the transports, not sure where they are going. Obi-Wan sighed, not wanting to do this. He wanted to get back to the temple, and find the other survivors. He had hoped Anakin was alright, but he put his mind focused on the task, freeing these people, and getting out of here.
Kenobi jumps down the steps with nothing, but a grin on his face, "Hello there, looking for me?"
The members of the 212th aimed their blasters at him. Obi-Wan had his lightsaber in his hand, but he couldn't manage to fight his own men, especially with civilians in chains. All he could do was freeze, not being able to do anything, but that's when spears came in, piercing the clones in the heart. The clones were going to shoot them, but the civilians strangled them from behind.
The pau'ans were all free, taking blasters for themselves. The Primeminister stepped forward, "There are still more of us inside"
"Alright I will lead the attack inside, you take these transports, and get your people out of here" Kenobi told him. The Prime Minister nodded, and left.
Obi-Wan took the pau'ans that could fight, and led the charge inside. The clones were ambushed, trying to fight back, but the numbers overwhelmed by the ambush. Obi-Wan only defected the blaster fire aiming at him, he could not bring himself to cut them down. Obi-Wan tries to find the prisoners that are trapped in his own home. Its when the more reinforcements come that the pau'ans get overwhelmed trying to save their people. Obi-Wan stepped in trying to protect them. He used the force to seal the door before running away. Him, and the group were cornering, as more men were marching. Women, and children were with them. The soldiers were being butchered by the clones, and Obi-Wan was stuck, leading the pau'ans out. He heard a clone trooper sound, as everyone was marching towards them. There were a few fighters among the group, but they could not take the army of clones down alone.
Obi-Wan gripped his lightsaber tightly, as he activated it. He didn't take it out of pleasure, but seeing the terrified look on the Pau'ans face was enough to drive him to attack. Kenobi activated his lightsaber, cutting down the troopers, he wanted to plead with them to stop, but the clones had not said a word. A tear just shedded on Obi-Wan's check, as he finished cutting down the clones. They weren't even close to freeing the rest of the pau'ans. He had turn to the men that was sent with him, and told them to get the captives out while he'd look for the remaining prisoners.
Obi-Wan roamed the halls of the facility. With great reluctance, he used his lightsaber to cut down the clones that stood in his way. While fighting off the troopers, he used the force to sense where the captives were being held. The clones tried to shoot him down, but Kenobi blocked with ease. The clones step back, as Obi-Wan throws them with the wave of the force.
Obi-Wan continued walking down the halls to find the prisoners, having his lightsaber still up for defense. He lowered it when he heard cries hallways away. The Jedi Master sprinted to the corner, turning right. After running down, he could see the families in fear, as they held their children closer. Before he could react, two of the clones came his way, causing Obi-Wan to launch a massive force push at them. He then used his lightsaber to cut the bars down, releasing all the captive Pau'ans. The men that were with their families had stepped up, grabbing the blasters to help out Obi-Wan. They flanked Obi-Wan, as they shot at the clones coming towards them.
"Where are the rest of your people?" Kenobi asked them.
"Your clones took the men that fought away to the outpost. Those that resisted were executed on the spot"
Obi-Wan felt guilty, it wasn't his orders, but the clones had still served him. He could tell the pau'ans had a mixture of feeling, fear, anxiety, anger, confusion, but he had to get them out as soon as possible. Obi-Wan had motioned for them to follow him, which they did.
The Jedi Master stood in front of the Pau'ans while the men with blasters. Obi-Wan tried his best to find more, but the facility was quickly being filled by reinforcements. Obi-Wan would have a much harder time fighting, and likely to die fighting if it wasn't for the pau'ans to take a stand. They overwhelmed them, quickly eradicating any clone that they were trapped with. Once they found the exit, everyone had exited out.
Obi-Wan had led the pau'an out of the building with fewer than one hundred of them. He stepped outside towards the exit, looking around with his lightsaber ready to defend these people. His weapon went up when he saw transports, but when the door opened, it was revealed to be the Prime Minister of the planet. He had his men help the civilians on the transports, making sure everyone was in. They wouldn't close the door until every last pau'an was in.
The Prime Minister glared at Obi-Wan, who glared at him back before speaking, "They were all I could find. The soldiers were taken to the clone's outpost. If you want I could give you coordinates how to get in"
The head of the now fallen planet shook his head, "We don't have enough men. My people, and I will regroup, and come up with a strategy before we do that. You should come with us Jedi"
Obi-Wan shook his head, "As long as I am around, I am putting you, and your people in danger. I appreciate it though, but I have away out of here"
"I wish you luck, Jedi" the Prime Minister told him before taking off with the rest of his people.
Obi-Wan was on his own, slowly sprinting outside of the city. Clones were still marching down like they were hunting him, which they did. He had to get to Grievous's ship, it was his best chance to get out. Obi-Wan had jumped down from one of the pillars to accidentally encounter a clone. He had shouted the Jedi's name before being hit with the force down the cliff. Three more were behind him, shooting at Obi-Wan who just blocked. While blocking the shots, he looked down to see the abyss, and the bridge connecting to the other side. Obi-Wan quickley deflected the shots at the chest of the troopers before running off. What he didn't notice was a gunship following him. The pilot had shot rockets, hitting the bridge. This made Obi-Wan run faster, as he leaped before it collapsed, reaching the ledge of the other side. Obi-Wan brought himself back up before going inside. He continued trying to stay out of sight, but the rest of his now former men know that he is alive. He leaped down from each floor, trying to retrace his steps to the ship he was trying to go to.
The city was empty, leaving only clones to patrol the ground. Obi-Wan snuck up, using the force to push the trooper off the ledge. The rest of the clones freaked out, and started to attack, but they were quickly taken care of. Obi-Wan only wounded them, still feeling sympathy towards the 212th. One of the troopers slowly was reaching for a blaster when Obi-Wan saw this, and casually used the force to push it away. The trooper had his helmet, but Kenobi could immediately tell with the force the clone had hate for him, making Obi-Wan just walk away. He went outside, but when he did, a gunship was behind him. It was more shocking that it was his own Commander leading the charge.
"General Kenobi, you are to be executed for treason against the highest authority"
Obi-Wans head tilted, "Cody, there is a mistake, fight your programing"
Cody didn't say anything, instead he,and his men started shooting at their General. Obi-Wan only blocked the attacks before running. The gunship chased after him, shooting at him. Obi-Wan turned around, blocking the strikes, using the force to push a rocket to the side of a building.
Obi-Wan continued running, cutting down the troopers that surrounded him. While he was distracted, the gunship shot a rocket, sending the Jedi Master back. Obi-Wan was pinned on the ground. He closed his eyes, figuring it was the end for him, but they didn't fire. A spear had gone through the glass, piercing the pilots heart, sending the gunship falling down to the abyss below.
Obi-Wan was shocked, and got up. The gunship was gone, and so was Commander Cody. He looked up to see the Prime Minister, nodding his head before stepping back into the shadows. Rather than say anything Obi-Wan ran towards the ship that was still on the platform where he killed Grievous.
Obi-Wan leads forward, finding himself in a home. He was confused, and dazed. He still had his lightsaber, but that didn't explain what had happened.
"Oh good, you are awake" the man removes his hood, revealing former clone Commander Cody.
Obi-Wan stood up, ready to fight, but he noticed Cody didn't have a blaster. He was more in shock.
Cody could only give a faint smile, as he stood up, "Don't worry General I am not here to kill you, but I am sure you have alot of questions"
"I am just surprised you are here. I thought you were dead"
"Sorry to disappoint General, but I can promise you I am only here to help. I have defected from the Empire"
"Oh?" all Obi-Wan could say, as he pretended to defend himself.
"Its hard to explain, but I didn't know what I was doing, it is said by the other clones our chips made us do those things, so I left, and removed mine, as you can see my scar" Cody showed him. Obi-Wan took note, and moved his hands away, "You said you defected from the Empire, but what about the other clones"
"Captain Rex made it out, but he vanished to start his own rebellion, and Clone Force 99 survived, but they are currently presumed dead. I been out here finding more of my brothers since"
"Is that why Quinlian Vos was here?"
"Aye, he promised me he would help me find more of my brothers in return we help him fight the Empire, but I haven't seen him since he contact me"
Obi-Wan sighed, folding his arms, "Thats not possible. The Empire had taken Master Vos. I was sent to investigate"
Cody sighed, "Well the Empire is here, and its not safe, so what now?"
"I have to get back to Senator Organa. You should come with me"
Cody looked up, replaying Obi-Wan's words, never thinking this would happen, causing him to smile, "If thats what you want General, I will follow you again"
Obi-Wan smiled, embracing his friend once more before looking at each other, "Now we just need a way off this rock"
"What about your ship?"
"The Empire destroyed it, and Quinlinan's as well"
"There is a way off. The village has transport. We could use that to get out of here"
Obi-Wan, with no choice, agreed. He, and Cody left his hut immediately.
The two went sneaking through the tall grass. They went towards a camp where the imperials were where the two needed the speeders to get to the village. Obi-Wan stepped forward, causing the stormtroopers to stand up, but before they could take their weapons, Cody shot them. The two then took two speeders to ride towards the village.
After arriving the two put their hoods back up. Obi-Wan used a mind trick on one of the guards to let them in. They looked around, and the two were not alone. The Empire was here, all over the place.
Obi-Wan looked at what was happening, but Cody interrupted his thoughts, "The Empire had come not too long ago, stripping these people of resources, and reducing them to this. A once beautiful world now in the grips of the Empire"
"We just need the transport, and get out of here"
The two continued making their way towards the transport, but stopped. Kenobi was confused, but Cody had pulled him into an alley. Before Obi-Wan could speak, he saw why they were hidden. A group of stormtroopers are walking down the village.
"Those look to be Jedi Hunters" Cody pointed out. He looked at Obi-Wan who only stared at his lightsaber, "You aren't confident are you sir" Cody pointed out.
"I am just out of practice, but don't worry my friend we will get out of here" Obi-Wan put his hand on his friend's shoulder before leaving.
The two left the alley, walking to the transport. There was a wave of crowns, the worst the Empire was scanning for ID. The two looked at each other. Once they waited for their turn to be up, Obi-Wan decided to go for a mind trick, "You will let us pass"
"I will let you pass"
"Out of practice huh" Cody gave Kenobi a jest. They went to the stand getting ready to purchase their ticket. The transport was taking them to Daiyu.
While the two were walking, Obi-Wanaccidentally knocked into someone that was carrying death sticks. He turned around to help the person up.
"Watch where you are going" the death stick dealer said.
"I am so sorry" Obi-Wan went down to help regardless of what it was, but the dealer pushed him out of the way. Cody interfered, pulling out a blaster, which brought the attention of the stormtroopers that were guarding the station. They marched over causing, Cody put his blaster away
"Whats going on here?" one of the troopers pointed their blaster.
"These men assaulted me" the dealer that was clearly out of it pointing the blame at the two cloaked men in front of him.
Obi-Wan looking at the transport had tried to take him, and Cody out of this situation, "I am sorry, but we have to go"
"Stop" one of the troopers ordered.
"Our rides there, we have to go" Obi-Wan insisted.
"What you need is to come with us" the trooper insisted, starting to grab Cody by the arm, but with instinct Obi-Wan had his lightsaber activated. The sapphire blade cut the arm of the stormtrooper, before turning to slice the other in the chest.
Obi-Wan quickly deactivated his lightsaber, bringing Cody along with him to the transport. They rushed inside, paying the pilot off for them to leave which he complied. Obi-Wan looks back at the window seeing more reinforcements coming to the scene. He looked at Cody, who looked at him back with an unease.
Darth Vader stood by the window of the Fortress Inquisitorius, his breathing echoing the hall. The door opened with the Grand Inquisitor, along with the Third Sister, and the Fifth Brother, they kneeled before the darklord. Vader had acknowledged them already sensing their presence with the force, "Grand Inquisitor what news do you bare?"
"My Lord we received news from one of the probe droids stationed on the planet where we detained Vos" he showed his Master the holocron of stormtroopers being attacked. The three Inquisitors could feel the Sith Lord's blood boil.
"Kenobi" the room started to shake, the glass cracking. Many in the room were panicked by Vaders anger, but then he stopped, "Where is he now?" the Sith Lord demanded.
"According to what I know Kenobi is on a transport with another college, they are going to Daiyu"
Vader didn't say anything, instead he marched to the interrogation room where Quinlan Vos was being held. The Jedi stood broken, silent. Vader use the force to undo the restraints, releasing him, "Rise Inquisitor"
Quinlian had stood up, head looking up at Vader. His eyes revealing a color of red.
