Kapitel 11: Chapter 11:Towards Tatooine

[YOU LEVELED UP] [+ 1SP]

[LV 4-REWARD RECEIVED-DARK FORCE BASIC SKILL VOUCHER]

[The item was stored in the inventory]

**************

I kept staring at the text for a few seconds, I haven't leveled up for almost a year, so I almost forgot that there were these random rewards, and looking at the reward..it's just a little bit useful, since I don't have many ' dark side ', although this is irrelevant to me, a long time ago I discovered that the skill' Player's Mind 'and the Perk' One With Force 'protect me against the compulsion of the dark side, so I can use their powers without me worry about falling on the dark side, but even if I didn't have it, I would still use it, Darth Revan was known as one of the most powerful force users of all time, he could use both sides of the force without 'getting lost', so why can't I? but fortunately, I don't need to go through this.

Leaving that aside for now, I focus on the battle again, after I destroyed the first battalion of drois, another one came and took its place, this time with some Droideka's, leaving the Driod B-1 to the guards, I focus on the droideka's , with the energy shield around them, the same TK trick wouldn't work, well maybe if I used it all at once, but that would be stupid, I believe that now a more subtle approach is needed, again using 'Orochi' to reflect the shots coming towards us, I extend my left hand towards the Droidika's, using Mechu-deru I start to control them, and with a simple thought, they disable the shields, before turning on each other and starting to destroy themselves, when only 1 is left, I use 'Orochi' to roll it up and crush it as if it were made of paper.

Looking at the destruction I shake my head, using droids against me is the worst decision anyone can make, too bad they don't know that, although if Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were here, I wouldn't have used this strategy, Mechu-Deru can be considered a Dark Side skill, and I don't know how they would react to it, I'm not afraid of them, but I don't want to show all my cards anytime soon.

With the chaotic battle dragging on I just focus on saving the guards and anyone who seems to be about to die, through the force I can feel the pain and anguish that Padme is feeling when he sees his people die, and even if that doesn't change a lot, I want to be able to alleviate her suffering a little.

......

At that moment I can feel Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan inside the palace, it seems that the changes have already started to happen, and their meeting was not in the square as in the film.

'' Padme, the Jedi will be here anytime now, '' I say as I use TK to push some droids against the wall.

Although these droids are very weak and stupid, their numbers are large, so my MP consumption is also quite large, with I only have 61% of them left at the moment, even with my MP recovery having increased a lot in the last 6 months of daily meditation.

As if to confirm my words, we started to hear the unmistakable lightsaber sounds, minutes later two men enter the throne room, leaving behind a trail of destroyed driods, one of them 'looking' to be in his 40s with hair and brown beards and some streaks of gray hair, the other a young man with blue eyes who appears to be 18 years old with short hair and the characteristic padawan braid, both wearing white and brown Jedi robes

(AN: it's not their real age, I just described them as they look in the movie)

After the two enter the room, everyone starts to reorganize, although the battle was chaotic, we lost a few people, I look in the direction of where the doors were blown up and find her under some broken furniture, the doors were pulled off the hinges , but they are whole, with a hand movement I use TK on both doors, and fix them back in place, there is no doubt that soon new droids arrived, and even though the doors cannot hold, they gave us a few minutes.

After fixing the door and building a barricade with the remains of furniture and debris, I move to stand behind Sabé, with Padme at my side, I ignore the look of surprise and confusion that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are giving me and I'm silent.

.......................... .......

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan approach Sabé in disguise while continuing to stare at John, they were not informed that there would be a jedi protecting the queen, although they never saw such a Jedi in order, a Jedi so young and powerful with a such a strong presence in the force should be known to everyone in the order, and their confusion only increases the more they look at John, as far as they can tell, John doesn't seem to have any alignment, no side of the 'light' or ' darkness' in the presence of his force, all they feel is the force itself.

But with the urgency of the situation, they know it's not the time to worry about it.

'' We are the ambassadors of the supreme chancheler '', Qui-Gon introduces himself to Sabé

"Can I assume that with this invasion in progress, that your attempt at negotiation failed ambassador?" Sabé replies.

'' they never happened, your majesty '', he says with a serious face, '' we should contact the republic and report this illegal invasion ''

'' They destroyed our communications, we are isolated '', says panaka

"So the only option is to use a ship," Obi-Wan, who has been quiet until now, suggests.

"In the main hangar, but we will certainly encounter a lot of resistance from the droids," says Sabé.

'' Don't worry, Your Highness, we can handle this, '' Obi-Wan says with a slightly smug expression.

.............

Throughout their conversation and as we walked towards the Hangar I remained silent behind Sabé, as we walked Qui-Gon kept looking at me, as if he wanted to ask something, but did not know how, choosing that moment, as we moved through the corridors of marble of the palace he approached me.

"Helo Young friend, I couldn't help noticing your strong presence of force, if you don't mind me asking ... who is your master?", He asks with a smile after hesitating a little.

'' I don't have a master, I'm self-taught, '' I reply in a calm voice without a change in expression, as I said once, although I don't really like the idea of getting involved with the Jedi, I still have respect for them, well some of them at least, and Qui-gon jin is one of them, so I have no problem answering his question.

He opens his eyes wide with what I say, before looking at my waist, probably looking for a lightsaber, '' so you are not a Jedi ?, I just thought you were a new padawan that I didn't have knowledge''.

I simply shake my head, while he seems to enter deep thoughts, which do not last long until Obi-Wan who was beside him listening to the conversation says, "The drodis are here", while lighting his lightsaber, which soon it is followed by Qui-gon.

Now that I'm in the presence of a Jedi master, I don't really want to show my powers, so I just start destroying them directly by crushing them with TK, or just using debris as projectiles, though with the 2 Jedi in front reflecting the shots and guards providing cover from behind, I don't need to do much more, and in just over 5 minutes, we arrived outside the main hangar.

With a peek into the hangar, we could see some battalions of droids coming and going, they had already surrendered the pilots and guards of the place, but as the number was not much compared to what we faced so far, everyone was fearless when we entered the hangar directly, seeing the pilots being held hostage for 10 droids, Obi-wan was about to stand out to free them, but I was quicker, with a great concentration of force power and a gesture of pushing with my left hand, all the drois are launched flying towards a pillar and disappear behind it, what nobody noticed at that moment, is that there was no impact sound, as soon as the droids flew out of everyone's view, I kept them in my inventory through force, I have a use for those 10 droids later.

with the droids being taken care of, the pilots start running towards the ships, until the other droids in the hangar finally notice us and start shooting, * (these droids are really dumb) *, I think as I shake my head ironically, beings with artificial intelligence by supposition they should be more intelligent than that.

Not wanting to expose 'Orochi' at the moment, I levitate some metal boxes in front of us to serve as a shield, while the jedis cut everything in their path, with the guards giving support fire behind, unlike the film, we quickly managed to take the control of the hangar, one due to my presence, and also Panaka and his guards are better prepared.

Eventually we met on the embarkation ramp of the Queen J-type 327 Nubian person ship, and I have to say, looking closely, a very beautiful ship, really worthy of a queen; having already decided to go to coruscant to appeal to the senate , Padme turns to the council members, who still followed us all the way here, and even though she knows they can't do anything to stop the invasion she says, '' I leave Naboo and our people in your hands until I come back''

They put on a firm expression and nod in the affirmative to Padme, wishing she would return soon with help, they leave immediately, after a few more minutes with Panaka giving final orders to the guards who stay to defend the palace, we boarded the ship, except of a pair of guards and the pilot, the rest of the crew consists of Qui-gon, Obi-Wan, Panaka, Padme and their 5 maids and although it was not mentioned until now, the clumsy Jar Jar binks was also here, and finally me.

As soon as we boarded the ship, I started looking curiously at everything around it, even though I was staying in Naboo for 1 year, this is still the first time that I get into a spacecraft, so unlike the others who are used to it, for me everything is new. .

But that changes quickly when I close my eyes, and I start to feel the internal structure of the ship and each of its components through the Mechu-Deru skill, this is one of my great advantages, as I have eidetic memory, it is very easy to memorize everything, a few moments after I finished scanning the entire ship I remember that the Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are also on the ship, and as expected they both felt my use of force, and are staring at me with a confused frown, they probably don't know what skill I used, since Mechu-deru is not a skill that everyone has, but as they did not feel any use of the "dark side of the force", they did not bother to ask, yet they continued to give me questioning looks.

(AN: quick explanation and a * SMALL SPOILER *, Mechu-deru is not an 'evil' skill, it is only considered unnatural by the Jedi, as users are 'manipulating the will of the force', and rejected as the dark side, just like the biological Manipulation, through the Mid-chloreans that can also be called sith alchemy, which is the skill of Darth Plagueis is known, and yes the MC will learn later, we cannot let his wife die while he is immortal right?)

In a few seconds the pilot flies over Theed, towards space and Naboo, where we find the trade confederation's fleet blocking all routes of entry and exit of the planet.

As soon as we got close to the block we were received by shots until one eventually hit us, "We were hit, our shields are weakening, the generator is damaged and we have a leak in the fuel line," the pilot begins to do a quick check damage before adding, "I'm sending the astromechanical droids to fix it."

Through the image projection we can see 4 astromechanical droids moving across the surface of the ship, as if the vacuum of space did not affect them and trying to repair the damage, with R2-D2 included between them.

'' We are losing droids '', Obi-Wan states the obvious, when the droids start to be hit, until only R2-D2 remains

And as if it were some kind of contagious disease, Panaka also goes on to say the obvious, "if they don't fix the generator, they'll destroy us."

Resisting the urge to roll my eyes at both of them, I start checking the surroundings, Padme beside me is staring at R2-D2, as if she is praying for success, while the maids seem nervous and worried, which is normal in such a situation, but looking at Qui-Gon, he seems completely unaffected, as if he is not inside a ship that can explode at any moment and kill him, I am calm because I know we will get through this, but I don't I have an idea what's in his head for him to be able to stay calm like that, but well he won some points of respect in my book, unlike the duo of idiots who say the obvious.

Turning my attention to the image, I see R2-D2 trying to make a direct connection; I could use Mechu-deru and fix it easily, but since I don't want to expose myself unnecessarily, and knowing that R2-D2 eventually succeeded, I decide to just watch, and as expected a few minutes later, he manages to repair it and then goes back to the ship,

"The little droid got it, shields to the max," the pilot says, before going straight through the block into space.

"There is no power to reach the coruscant, hyper-propellant leaking," he adds after noticing the ship losing strength.

'' We have to find a place to replenish and repair the damage, '' Qui-gon says, still keeping his cool.

"Here master, Tatooine ..."
