"Hello there." Jar-Jar had shown up, and now he had some backup in the form of Ferus Olin, the other Sith apprentice.
"Olin?" Obi-Wan was surprised to see him here but knew that it was probably not a time for reunions, especially since he was here as a Sith.
"Give the younglings to us, and we may consider your escape." Olin said to Obi-Wan, not caring in the slightest and instead wanted to the Force-sensitive children.
"I am afraid that I cannot do that..." Obi-Wan ignited his lightsaber while gesturing for all of the younglings to get onboard the star ship, which they promptly did.
[]
Rejoining Obi-Wan, Jar-Jar and Ferus, the three are now about to engage in a standoff against each other, as Obi-Wan is protecting the children within the ship, unsure of why the Sith would want them.
"I cannot exactly hand over these younglings to you two..." Obi-Wan had to play this carefully right now, and had to be prepared for whatever is going to happen next.
"You cannot stop us." Ferus replied as the two, Jar-Jar and Ferus were prepared for the fight to begin.
'I cant believe I am left here to deal with everything here myself...' Obi-Wan thought to himself as he started to think about what to do. He wouldn't have enough time to start up the ship if he got onboard to escape those two, and even if he did, they may try and use the Force to stop the ship from flying.
As the three adult Force-sensitives were preparing themselves to get into it, the ship holding the children started itself up.
"What!?" Jar-Jar was surprised, Ferus as well.
Then there was Obi-Wan who was very confused about just what was happening. "What are you doing in there!?" Obi-Wan called out to the children within, but he wouldn't get an answer, where instead someone would make their entrance.
Someone that was walking, creating a clear distinct noise that would tell anyone that this person was wearing some type of boots.
"Who are you?" Ferus and everyone looked over to discover another distraction had come to the battlefield, that being a woman with short white hair, and a strange suit, plus a lightsaber of their own, or what looked like one.
"Who is me?" The girl said this while looking at everyone here, before pointing towards the ship. "I think everyone is forgetting about the ship there..."
"Right!" Obi-Wan turned around and noticed that it was already starting to take off, and he couldn't have that. He had two choices in this instant, staying here to deal with the two Sith, plus the new mysterious person or to get onboard the ship and find out just what exactly is going on there.
Obi-Wan in the end decided to stay here, as there was no way he would be able to stop the Sith from following after him onto the ship. It was either the younglings faced the unknown by themselves or face off against the two Sith standing before him.
Let alone the mysterious girl that looked strange, and most certainly gave off a presence that wasn't exactly normal. Obi-Wan is pretty sure the girl is Force-sensitive as well, and the two Sith could probably sense this as well...
The ship left Coruscant, now leaving everyone else here alone, where Obi-Wan, the mystery girl, Ferus, and Jar-Jar Binks...
"Now what?" Obi-Wan asked this as a rhetorical question.
Obi-Wan was answered however, by Jar-Jar jumping into action by going after Obi-Wan once again. It would seem that Jar-Jar wanted to finish what the two had started, for Obi-Wan had retreated and even seen some more of Jar-Jar's embarrassing moments.
He had developed a hate for himself and for his flaws, so of course Jar-Jar would want to erase everything that reminded himself of such things. This was similar in nature to how Darth Vader was made by Sidious.
In that Darth Vader had to get rid of his old memories of his old self. To forget or to erase such things for they are seen as a weakness, but for Jar-Jar it was much more personal in a sense. For Jar-Jar had many moments where his clumsiness was explored and seen by others, meaning that it is something that is actively always going to be around.
Especially since it has become a part of his fighting style, which would only lead to Jar-Jar fueling his hate more and more.
Ferus started to make a move as well, but instead of going towards Obi-Wan, he instead faced the girl instead. "Your name?" Ferus asked, hoping to find out the girls identity.
"I used to be simply known as HK-47, now I go by Hatsuko..." The mysterious girl identified herself as she bowed a little towards Ferus. "I must now go. My job here was to take care of the children and then to leave." She had hacked into the star ships system and then taken control of it herself, before forcibly getting the children off of the planet of Coruscant.
"That was you, huh?" Ferus started to step ever closer, but it didn't seem like Hatsuko cared at all, and almost seemed to be anticipating something.
"Maybe. Now, using my meatbag suit, I am going to have to leave now." Hatsuko said this, and started to turn around, however Ferus jumped in front of her once again using the Force.
"Where do you think you are going?" Ferus of of course stopped Hatsuko from leaving.
"Statement: Move meatbag, for your presence is getting in my way." Hatsuko replied, as she started to get out her own weapon. A modified blaster pistol that would enable her to shoot people from afar.
"I dont think I can do that..." Ferus jumped up and dived down, trying to create an explosive amount of strength so he could push through and break whatever defenses Hatsuko has.
And this marked the beginning of yet another skirmish, but this time with Hatsuko showing off her own shooting skills. Obi-Wan and Jar-Jar would go at it again, however their battle would have similar results with Obi-Wan wasting more energy than what he should, while Jar-Jar would keep making mistakes that somehow turn out right.
Back with Hatsuko, she was using her blasters but Ferus was able to deflect everything. This would annoy Hatsuko, as she had come across an enemy that could ignore her very accurate shots, which would in turn force her to start making a decision to use her other weapon.
A personalized looking lightsaber that wasn't really a lightsaber but instead a combination of things. It was a dagger, with an actual blade not made up of specialized energies, but the blade was coated in the lightsaber glow.
Meaning that it carried over a lightsabers abilities, but it had a different look and could most certainly be used in many more circumstances than what a lightsaber would be used for. It was something of an all around tool for her to use.
This battle would go on for a while before the two fights would not be separated anymore and instead everyone would find their own team or side. "Well. Hello there, I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. You name is?" Obi-Wan was back to back with Hatsuko as he asked this.
"Answer: Hatsuko." She didn't say anything more, as it would likely give away that her presence here was the result of the Empyrean. This would give more than enough political reason for Palpatine to start a war against the Empyrean, whereas just harboring the Jedi within the Empyrean would not mean much in political terms.
"Right. Now how the hell are we going to get out of the situation?" Obi-Wan asked as his physical energy reserves were decreasing rapidly with the way Jar-Jar attacked him, and he didn't have another stable and practiced lightsaber form he could reliably switch to in this instance, or would even be good against Jar-Jar.
"Statement: Jump." Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan were on the very ledge of the place they could escape off of, and Hatsuko jumped down, leading to Obi-Wan liking this behavior to someone else he knows.
"I dont like this." Obi-Wan looked down to see that Hatsuko in fact did have a plan and decided to throw the resemblance in behavior to the back of his mind. For now, he would find out where or who Hatsuko is later, and would have to focus on other things right now.
Like jumping.
"Well...." Obi-Wan looked at Ferus and Jar-Jar as they were now both approaching him.
"Surrender now, Jedi, and you may be spared from absolute death." Ferus spoke very menacingly.
"I dont think I could do that, but..." Obi-Wan turned his lightsaber off and looked between the two of them, trying to see whether there was anyone else within the Jedi temple left. Other than the dead bodies of several Jedi of course. "I will remember this day, and so too will the other Jedi will remember it as well."
"The Republic will remember and send this message to your master, good old Sheev Palpatine, that the Jedi has not died here today." Obi-Wan jumped off, leading to the two Sith to rush forward to have a look at where they were going.
Looking off of the ledge they happen to see a ship zoom up past the two of them and they stare in disbelief, both thinking to themselves that they were foolish to not realize that such a cliché thing would happen.
The good old jump off a cliff trick but instead of falling to ones doom there is something there to save them.
"See ya!" Obi-Wan did a little two-fingered salute to Ferus and Jar-Jar, which only served to anger the two of them more, where Jar-Jar nearly had the gall to try and jump, however he was stopped by Ferus.
"Don't do it. You are not ready." It would seem that Ferus wasn't completely gone from the Jedi ways just yet, as a Sith would not try and save their comrade from death and instead would probably revel in it.
This went to show that Jar-Jar was more gone than Ferus.
Hatsuko and Obi-Wan escaped within the ship and would be heading off of and outside of the Republic, now turned Empire spaces. They would be going to where all the other Jedi were headed towards, and that is the Empyrean.
'Damnit! I failed my mission...' Hatsuko would think to herself as she had failed to accomplish everything she needed to do here, which was to start rounding up and saving everyone she could. It would seem that the leftover Jedi would be dying, with no one to save or help them in this instance because there was no Empyrean presence on Coruscant.
"So... where are we headed too?" Obi-Wan came inside the ship, saw that Hatsuko was seated and asked.
"Answer: The Empyrean."

'It worked!' Rejoining Count Dooku, previously known as Darth Tyranus but now having renounced the title he was no longer a Sith. Even if he still practiced some of the methods or powers that the Sith used.
He looked around at the place that he had come to, as the device he had used was something created by Anakin and given to Dooku.
It only made sense, because who else had access to teleportation technology within this galaxy, other than the Empyrean. So of course this was taken or received by Dooku from Anakin or some kind of affiliate.
'Where am I?' Dooku looked all around, as the device that was used wasn't necessarily perfect and instead would teleport him somewhere random. It was entirely possible that it could have been used to teleport him onto any random planet or ship, or even stay within the same spot, only moving a few centimeters.
That was the degree of randomness this device was like, because Anakin had yet to perfect something like this.
"Y-You!" A voice was heard calling out to Dooku as he got up off of the ground and looked towards the voice as it was someone that looked to be harmed, however he was all healed up. The lower half of his torso was seemingly cut in half, but it had been sewn back together crudely, leaving a rather large scar that surrounded the persons waistline.
The place Dooku found himself in was a terrestrial planet, its surface was covered with refuse, piled over countless generations so that enormous heaps of trash stood as tall as mountains. The gutted and rotting hulls of ancient starships poked through the more recent garbage, giving the landscape the eerie feel of an industrial graveyard.
Huge pools of toxic sludge and the periodic bursts of acid rain made its ruined ecosystem one of the most dangerous in the galaxy. The planet's atmosphere was breathable, though hot and caustic, while foul-smelling fog limited visibility.
"Answer me! Who are you?!" The voice said again and as visibility came back to him, Dooku was finally able to make out the person.
'A Zabrak from the looks of it...' Dooku thought to himself as he studied the man.
