Chapter 26 by Caesar25 Caesar25

What's next?

All for one and one for all?

Gunray (through the holo): Aah, my two favourite Jedi girls! I hope you like the friends I sent your way!

Clone Lana (angrily): What are you playing at Gunray?! I'll cut your balls off for this!

Gunray: Not so fast now girl! Lord Sidious ordered me to capture you both, alive. Not to mention how much I have been waiting for to put your arrogant ass to its proper place!

Clone Lana (in disbelief): My master...? He wouldn't...! Why would he...?!

Gunray: You can ask him yourself, provided that he'll be kind enough to pay you a visit in my prison. He wants you both unharmed, but that doesn't mean I won't get to try that butt for myself, once you are subdued and incapacitated, you little brat!

Clone Lana (**** **** him through the holo): You are a dead man!

Gunray (****): Wha-what are yo-you wa-waiting for?! Capture th-them...!

The magnaguards attack you both, interrupting her **** **** and releasing Gunray, who keeps observing the events through the holo. You fire at them with your blaster, but can do minimal damage.

Lana: If you gave me my lightsaber, I would be able to deal with half of them!

Clone Lana: Not a chance, I can scrap a pile of junk myself!

Seeing you as the smaller threat, they focus their efforts on your clone, surrounding her and attacking from multiple directions simultaneously. She defends herself well, destroying a couple of magnaguards on short notice either by her lightsaber or by crushing them via the ****. One of them even gets thrown out the big panorama window of the room. You find watching her fight quite impressive, your last encounter with such magnaguards wasn't a success to say so. However, she is making mistakes against the overwhelming odds of so many droids. Every now and then, one of them manages to strike at her with their electro-staffs. She doesn't have time to use the ****, as all her focus is on defending herself from the coming strikes.

Lana: I could still help if I had my lightsaber...!

Clone Lana (panting): Shut up! I've got this!

She keeps fighting, suffering a few more minor hits as the fight progresses. Then, when she gets a blow to her back, a droid grabs her by the left shoulder, she manages to free herself from the grip, but only at the cost of having parts of her robe torn off. The damaged cloth now doesn't cover her left shoulder and chest, her left tit popping out from underneath, which she grabs and covers instantly. But she cannot fight with only one hand, especially with a double saber, she clenches her teeth and cuts the magnaguard in half, before continuing the fight against the rest of them, with her freshly exposed boob jiggling in all directions. Her moves are now clearly more flawed than before, she's lost her focus. Her bouncing boob on display prevents her from concentrating on the fight at hand, and she gradually gets beaten down. Following a series of further electrocuting blows to all parts of her body, she drops to her knees, deactivating her lightsaber and bowing her head in a **** submission.

Gunray (clapping his hands together in celebration): Good! She's finally on her knees! That's where your kind belongs! Now, rip that robe off of her, show me the goods I'm about to examine in person in minutes!

Two of the magnaguards grab her arms and lift her up, while a third rips her remaining robe off of her, exposing her sporty body. She's then thrown on the floor. She clenches her teeth together in anger again, finally accepting her inability to win this fight alone. She pulls your sabers out of her destroyed robe's pocket and throws them to you. As you catch them, you **** push the magnaguards away from her. She stands up and reactivates her sabre, and the two of you scrap the droids sent to capture you. As the last one is cut down, she walks to the holo and prepares to **** **** Gunray.

Gunray (panicking): T-that wasn't supposed to happen like that...! Y-you were supposed to be my captives by now...! I...! I... Lord Sidious wouldn't approve of you killing me, remember that...!

Clone Lana: He has already abandoned me, I have nothing left to lose!

Gunray (with gunfire behind him in the room): What the...?! The Jedi is already here?! Stop them! Shoot him...! Or... Something...!

He cuts the transmission, but that wouldn't stop your clone from killing him from here. She reaches out and chokes him from there. You don't like the viceroy, but don't approve of his killing like that either.

Lana: He is beaten. Master Plo'll capture him in a minute. There's no need to kill him, he could be taken captive and stand trial, spending the rest of his days behind bars. Wouldn't that suffering be better than a minute of satisfaction of killing him?

Clone Lana (coldly as she chokes him): No.

Lana: Well, sure, I understand... But I would appreciate having him alive, he has much intel we could get out of him. I might even get you to be his torturer! How does that sound?

Clone Lana (finishing him off): A tempting offer, but no. It's done, the whoreson is dead.

Lana (shaking your head): Okay, that escalated quickly... What do we do now?

Clone Lana: We? There is no we, I needed you to scrap those droids, but our partnership ends here.

Lana: I was afraid you would say that. So we fight again, I presume.

Clone Lana (giggling): Fight? More like beating your ass again!

As you trade words, one of the magnaguards slowly crawls on the floor, his cracking sound overshadowed by your words. When he's close enough to you two, he activates an immediate self-destruction. You spot him from the corner of your eye and react quickly.

Lana (as you spot the magnaguard): ... And then I'll...! Watch out!

You both form a **** shield around yourselves, but the coming explosion from a few meters away throws you towards the recently broken window. You land just in front of it, while your clone flies through it. She screams as she falls from the stronghold's upper levels. You instantly go and look for her and catch her by the ****, holding her at bay.

Lana (holding her): How about a truce again, huh?

Clone Lana (frustrated by being saved by you): Rather let me fall and die! I don't need help, especially not yours!

Lana: It doesn't look like that!

Clone Lana: Just let me go... My master seems to have disposed of me, if I don't die here, something far worse than **** awaits me... And I don't intend to find out what's that.

Lana: Nonsense! I'm pulling you up here, we find him and...

Clone Lana (interrupting): No, you don't understand! He's the most powerful being in the galaxy, you can do nothing about him. And neither can anyone... Furthermore, I definitely won't be turned into a petyful Jedi like you are... Or be saved by one.

Lana: Look, we can talk about your nonexistent enthusiasm for living, but first, let me pull you back up on the ledge!

Clone Lana (sighing): You just won't get it will you...? I'm not going back.

Lana (worried): Don't try it!

Clone Lana (closing her eyes and smiling): Thanks anyway, for trying to save me, fucktoy! There could only be one Lana, and it seems it won't be me...

She **** pushes you back a little, interrupting your hold over her, by the moment you get back to the ledge, she has fallen far too deep for you to pull her back with the ****. You punch the floor in anger for failing to save her, despite having humiliated you a little while ago. Having regained your focus and moving on from your freshly made acquintance's passing, you look around the room for another unwanted magnaguard surprise. The rest are destroyed, they won't be giving you any further trouble. As you look around, you find your armour pieces piled up at a corner, you put them on, and comment:

Lana (to yourself): Hm, I hope I'll die just as dramatically as she did. We might be clones after all.

When you are dressed for war again, you report to Plo Koon.

Lana (on the holocommunicator): Master Plo, do you copy? The communication centre is clear.

Plo (on the holocommunicator): I copy Lana, the command centre is also clear. The viceroy has been killed via the ****, unfortunately... But the mission is successful nonetheless, we are being attacked by the security droids, come here, we must leave this planet as soon as possible!

Lana (on the holocommunicator): Understood, master! On my way!

You rush towards the command centre, encountering a few dozen droids, cutting them all down as you go. Within minutes, you get to Plo's group of clones, which has been halved since their **** began. Strengthened by two Jedi now, you protect the remaining troopers from the incoming blasterfire and retreat towards the landing bay at an other wing of the building. Fighting side by side with a Jedi master, the droids stand zero chance against your strength. B1 battle droids, superbattle droids, droidekas, magnaguards, commando droids, they all go straight to the junkyard after facing your duo. Yet, your escape isn't without casualties either, a few more clones get shot by flanking droids from time to time, but most of your group remains alive by the time you reach the landing platform where the infiltration **** landed originally. The sky is still filled with fighters shooting at each other while master Plo's capital ship is outside the range of the city's anti-aircraft defences.

Plo (onto his comlink): General to Jackdaw, we are in position!

Pilot (via the comlink): Jackdaw to general, we're on our way!

Plo (saddened): Eh, one gunship will be enough to carry the survivors...

Pilot (also saddened): Oh, copy general... The others will provide cover while you board.

It takes some time until the gunships make it safely to you, so you keep fighting on top of the stronghold to hold out. When the transport ships get near, they clear the area around you by thier laser guns and turrets. Out of the four, one gets shot down while flying towards you, another as it provides the cover for the one you board. All who are alive at the time of the evacuation are taken into safety as the two gunships make it back to the main ship in one piece. The admiral coordinated the retreat of the fighters with your escape, defending you from air attacks and making a simultaneous landing. As everybody arrives at the hangar safely, the huge ship turns around and makes a run for it, jumping to lightspeed as soon as possible. It redirects the energy concentration from the lower shields to the engines, suffering minor hull damage until the engines are ready to take you away from Cato Neimoidia. On the way back, Plo Koon approaches you and lays his hand on your shoulder.

Plo: You have done well Lana, Master Jereli would be proud of your performance! I'm certain he has been watching you through the ****.

Lana (melancholically): Yeah, certainly...

Plo: I suppose seeing your clone and fighting her must have caused you quite a conflict within. Realizing how things could have looked for you, had you not chosen the path of the light.

Lana: Something like that...

Plo: Do not doubt your decisions in the past, they have all led you here, they make you who you are. No clone or doppler could become the selfless, wise and benevolent young Jedi knight you have grown to be. I was honoured to have had a mission with you.

Lana (a bit happier after having heard him): Thank you for your words Master Plo! They mean a lot.

Plo: We might have met only a few times and talked little before, but a mission spent together speaks louder than a thousand words. The security cameras were active during your fight in the communications centre, I know you have tried to save your clone, despite all that she had done to you. Even most of the Jedi I know would not have tried to save their darker side. You are unique in more ways than you know, young one. May your attitude towards others never change!

He nods and walks away without saying anything further. You nod in response and think on his words. Would many of the masters have truly let their dark clone die? Have you made the right choice by attempting to save yours, or has it been a mistake? The result is all the same, she's dead, reagardless of your intent. You have many hours to reflect on what you have just heard until you reach your destination. Sometime later, you are back at Coruscant and return to the Jedi temple with Master Plo. There are only a few other Jedi from the missions who have returned: Anakin, Aayla, Saesee, Drek, and Ranvi. Anakin has been asked to inform the chancellor about the success of all the missions and thus, the end of the war. Drek and Ranvi welcome you with a hug and keep you busy by telling you how each of your missions went. The rest, the masters, rather discussed their hopes and visions for the near and distant future with the recent fall of the CIS. Later on, the masters dismiss you, giving you your well earned time of rest following such crutial missions. Ranvi and Drek retire to Ranvi's room to "rest", while you pay a visit to see how Valare is faring, she's still tied to bed, but her red colour is brighter than before. You sit next to her and tell her how your mission went and that the Separatists have been defeated.

Valare (smiling): Hm, so, it seems the Jedi won. Again. Some things never change.

Lana: Yes, by the will of the ****.

Valare: Tell me, how did you manage to find and destroy Sidious?

Lana: Well, about that...

Valare (turning all out serious): Wait, you mean, you haven't killed him yet...?

Lana: We were focusing on the CIS leaders first, now that they are out of the picture, we may...

Valare (attempting to stand up): Bring me my lightsaber, we must find him, now!

Lana: What gives?! His faction is gone, he has no more cards up his sleeve!

Valare (collapsing): Aaargh! You don't know what the Sith are like! Especially the calculating ones like him... Just when you think you triumph, he'll play his full hand... You are in danger... We all are!

Lana (helping her back on the bed): Rest now, we'll find him! Leave it to us!

Valare: If only... Do you even know where to look?

Lana: Not yet...

Valare: He's in the Senate. I don't know who he is, but I have sensed his presence there when we were there before. Go, find him, before it's too late!

Lana: The Senate?! He's been sitting right in front of us the whole time?! Wait, Anakin is there with the chancellor!

Valare: He may have a plan for them both, go! But don't look for him as a Jedi would... He masked his presence from the light side, but not the dark! That's why nobody could find him from your order. Use the dark side while looking.

Lana: Thanks for the tip, I'll go and find him, then call for reinforcements!

Valare: May the **** serve you well, Lana, you'll need it against him.

You rush to the masters present and tell them what you learnt. To your dismay, they don't trust the words of a Sith, especially when it claims the Sith lord having been so close to the order this whole time. They discard your concerns and advise you to stay here and rest, rather than chasing shadows. But that's exactly what you are about to do, chasing shadows. You intend to ask your friends to join you, but before knocking on Ranvi's door, you hear her moaning from inside. They must have been apart for a long time, you don't want to take their well earned joy by bringing troublesome news about Sidious... You leave them together and depart with a shuttle to the Senate building alone.

What's next?
