Former Padawan to Mace Windu, Apprentice to Count Dooku, Minister of the Intergalactic Shipwright's Guild. Y/N L/N is a former Jedi who following the battle of Naboo, left the Order in search of his idol, Count Dooku. Upon accomplishing this, he was...
It was a good thing I'd made the decision to confront Obi-Wan alone. As I walked through the corridor, adrenaline coursed through my body. This was a potential turning point in the battle, if played my cards right that is.
My mind was racing as well. Given how quickly Obi-Wan had dealt with Durge, I could tell he wasn't going to be a push-over, then again, he never was. I remember when we were both younglings, he didn't have raw talent, but he put effort in and could reach a similar result.
I spotted a small group of B1 Battle Droids ahead so I approached them and instructed "You, come with me!" They all turned to me and responded in unison with the typical "Roger Roger." I didn't expect them to be much help, but they would keep any unnecessary clones off my back.
With them in company, I began making my way out of the tower. Not through the main exit, but through an alternative route, for this to work I needed the element of surprise, we reached said alternate route, a hole created by the Republic's Artillery bombardment.
I'll give Durge some credit, without his effort we'd still be under heavy fire from the artillery but with most of them units gone, it was easy to slip out of the building and descend into the city proper.
The sound of distant blaster fire could still be heard however it seems the action was already over here. The remains of both Confederacy and Republic vehicles and troops were strewn about across the place. It seemed almost completely deserted.
I turned to the Droids and instructed "Spread out but don't go too far. Keep an eye on your surroundings." Again, the droids all simultaneously said "Roger Roger." In unison with one another.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, as useful as I found Droids, it did get annoying with their lack of response. I made a signal with my hand gesturing them to split off into teams, I only kept three droids with me, the remaining seven split off and went to scout around.
I had no idea what direction Kenobi would come from, it was a matter of scoping around this area and waiting for him to appear. We began our search and it was not long after this, I heard a sound, a light rumbling.
Looking at the floor, my eyes narrowed as I noticed two objects roll closer towards us. It didn't take me long to realize what they were. I instantly leapt out of the way as the exploded, taking out the three droids in an instant!
I scowled and muttered "Thermal detonators." As soon as I landed back on my feet I heard the sounds of blasters being raised. All around me, from the rubble, Clone troopers emerged each one had their blasters aimed at me.
An ambush! Great!
Directly in front of me, one Clone stepped forward. Judging by his attire, I instantly recognized him as one of their Arc troopers. He instantly reached for a blaster pistol and aimed it in my direction declaring "Minister Y/N L/N, you are under arrest!"

I glared at the Arc Trooper. To tell you the truth, I thought the Jedi were fools for blindly trusting the Clones, given how they'd just shown up out of no where on Geonosis and now they were just following the Jedi around like they'd been friends for years.
I didn't move at first, all the Clones kept their blasters trained on me before I decided to have an idea. I slowly began to raise my hands, surrender wasn't my intention. "Very well." I spoke calmly "If that is how it has to be."
In a swift motion, I extended my hand and channelled the Force into it. The Arc Trooper was flung back into a wall, he grunted and slumped to the ground. I spun around and glared at the other clones before reaching for the curved hilt on my belt.
With a push of a button, a scarlet blade emerged from it. My eyes snapped between each Clone one by one. They tensed up and raised their blasters even more however all I did was smirk.
True, my Form 2 style wasn't efficient against opponents with blasters, however in this situation, I actually felt confident. One of the Clones opened fire and THAT was when I finally made my move.
I rushed towards one of the other Clones and thrust my saber forward, right into his chest! Withdrawing I swung and cut another two troopers down. I Force pulled the blaster from another's hand, tossed it aside and cut him down.
This placed me directly in between two more. They both spun around and took aim however just as they fired, I stepped back causing them to hit one another. By this point, the Arc Trooper from earlier had recovered.
He sat upright and raised both pistols and opened fire. I turned though and raised my saber, beginning to deflect each bolt one after the other. The trooper kept firing though, slowly I began to approach managing to deflect each bolt.
What the Arc Trooper did next surprise me, he actually tried to sweep my leg and knock me over once I'd got close enough. I managed to avoid the attack and snarled a bit as I extended my hand up in front of me.
The Trooper was lifted off the ground and clutched at his throat as he coughed. I glared as I used the Force to choke. Slowly approaching even closer I spoke in a cold emotionless tone, feeling no pity for the Clone.
"So tell me, Clone." The word 'Clone' was spat with venom as I trailed off for a moment before taking a deep breath and asking "Where is Obi-Wan Kenobi?" I'll give the trooper some credit, he stood his ground despite his situation. "I-I'm not telling you anything."
"Fair enough." Was all I said as I raised my lightsaber. What happened next caused me to freeze though, another voice could be heard, one I instantly recognized. "And he doesn't have to." Turning around to its source.
Atop a pile of rubble was a figure partially shrouded in shadow, even so, I knew exactly who they were by the sound of the voice and their silhouette. They leapt off the rubble and landed in front of me, igniting a blue lightsaber in their hand.
"Hello there."
Author's Note: And that's it for this chapter, next up will be Y/N's first fight against Obi-Wan and it won't be their last either. I really hope you enjoyed the chapter and as always, thank you for reading.
