Chapter 4: "I hate sand!"
Sorry everyone for the delay, my phone broke and I needed it to get repaired for full data recovery or I'll lose my notes all over again.
I could have posted 5 days ago but I was busy making a backup of my notes onto a USB and my pc just in case the worst ever happens. Better few more days delay than never being able to post again.
I've been posting chapters of my other Skyrim fiction in the meantime using my pc. Im back now and I'll try to catch up on the delay, thank you for your patience.
*************************************
As Dante in his ship followed behind Ahsoka and Anakin as they exited Hyperspace, he saw that incoming Separatist forces have also been waiting nearby and began their ambush on the Jedi duo.
I waited until I was sure that the Separatists would shoot down their ship so it would crash land.
I wasn't worried if they would die, Anakin is the Chosen One and until he brings Balance by eliminating both Jedi and Sith like The FORCE intends and wants, he cannot die as fate and luck will always be on his side.
Meanwhile, with Ahsoka and Anakin...
"Who's that?" Ahsoka asked, as she saw that a uncloaked Stealth ship had helped them by shooting down some of the attacking ambushes on their rear.
"Does it matter, hang on we're going down!"
The ship descended rapidly as the controls smoked and sparks flew everywhere. Ahsoka was thrown to the side, barely holding onto Rotta as Anakin tried to stabilize the ship. The ground grew closer and closer until finally, with a jolting thud, the ship hit the desert sand of Tatooine. The impact sent sand flying in every direction as the ship skidded to a halt.
"We need to split up," Anakin said urgently, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of the Separatist forces, only to see an approaching speeder with Count Dooku snd 2 magnaguards alongside him, approaching fastly. "Take Rotta and head for Jabba's Palace. I'll hold them off."
"But, Master..." Ahsoka began, hesitant to leave his side.
"Go, Ahsoka. I can handle this," Anakin reassured her, the determination in his eyes unwavering.
Ahsoka nodded, clutching Rotta tightly to her chest as she sprinted away, leaving a trail of dust in her wake. She knew her master could hold his own, but the weight of the mission bore down on her shoulders. As she reached the horizon, she heard the unmistakable sound of lightsabers clashing behind her.
Her heart racing, she focused on the task at hand, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. Up ahead, she spotted three Magnaguard droids with their purple electrical staffs crackling menacingly in the twilight. Gritting her teeth, she readied herself for combat, drawing her lightsaber and igniting its Plasma green blade.
The Magnaguards rushed towards her, their movements swift and precise, a clear sign of their elite training. Ahsoka met their charge head-on, her lightsaber a whirlwind of motion as she parried and countered their attacks. The air was filled with the sizzle and snap of electricity as their staffs clashed with her blade, each blow resonating through her body.
Just as she was about to be overwhelmed, a figure swooped in from the side, a vibrosword in hsnd cutting through the fray. the enigmatic 'Spectre', had arrived. His armor glinted in the setting suns as he dispatched one Magnaguard with a swift strike, the droid's head rolling away from its body. Ahsoka's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't miss a beat, using the opening to take down another but it wasn't so easily beaten as it had enough combat programming to hold its own against Jedi Masters.
"You, Jedi, go and get Jabba's Son to the Palace, take this Data Card and give it to Jabba."
spectre's voice was firm, yet there was a hint of something else that Ahsoka couldn't quite place. She nodded, knowing that she had to trust this mysterious figure, if only for the moment. With Rotta slung over her shoulder, she dashed off, her legs burning with exertion as she pushed herself to the limits. Behind her, she heard the cacophony of battle continue, the clang of metal and the clanging of the Vibrosword against electrified staffs.
Dante, now fully engaged with the Magnaguards, used his superior agility to dodge and weave through their attacks. His vibrosword sang through the air, a deadly counterpart to his telekinetic abilities. The droids, programmed to be relentless, didn't falter in their pursuit. They were elite combatants, each blow calculated and precise, but they had never faced a foe who could manipulate the very fabric of the universe around him.
Dante didn't want to use his Force Abilities yet just in case someone accidentally arrives and catches him in the act.
He sliced through the droids with his vibrosword, his movements a blur. Each strike was surgical, cutting through their armor with ease. His heart pounded in his chest, the thrill of the fight invigorating him. He had been preparing for this moment for years, and now, the time had come to prove himself.
As the final Magnaguard fell to his blade, Dante took a moment to survey the battlefield. The Clone Troopers had managed to fend off the initial droid attack, but the Separatist forces were relentless. He knew he had to act quickly before the situation escalated further. He turned his attention towarfs Jabba's Palace.
Dante knew that if the Separatists captured or killed Jabba's son, the consequences for the galaxy would be dire as the Separatists would gain the favour of Jabba and tip the scale of the war to their side.
He couldn't take the risk that Ahsoka would fail or something could go wrong, and now that he dealt with the magnaguards he left and chased after Ahsoka with the intention to keeping the plot the same...at least for now as that is what benefited him th most.
However, Dante grew incredibly vexed at one thing as he felt it inside the boots and inner workings of his armour...

*******
I'm surprised that something this long is only 1,200 words. Regardless, I'll be keeping each individual chapter up to 1800 words max with average being 1500 words since my other chapters are around 3600 words or 2000 words each.
This way I can keep a steady pace in making chapters and can potentially start making the next chapters even faster. I hope you do not mind this. As a result, I'll try to post 2 chapters in one day but no 100% guarantees for now since I need to look over the Star Wars transcripts to keep some things cannon and the same.
Cya in 10 hours, imma grind on For Honor to get my rep up since I've been slacking on my skills recently.
