Grievous, a Star Wars Story

The Jedi Hunt Begins

It was a dark, stormy night on Alderaan. Two Jedi, master and apprentice had been sent for reconnaissance and to gather information, There were rumors that separatist forces had infiltrated behind the front lines of the Republic and had formed a base. An anonymous intelligence contact had provided information to the republic about a potential invasion. It was crucial that Alderaan did not fall to CIS forces due to its strategic and political importance. 

The Jedi had to eliminate that threat or if the forces were too strong then their orders were to return to base and prepare for a larger assault. They hiked through the thick Isatabith Rainforest and its native trees and bushes.  Local creatures chirped, buzzed and sang all around them. They trekked a hundred meters further and reached a clearing. They could hear the chatter of B1 and B2 battle droids operating and communicating. A grim look appeared on Master Liivarius' face. 

"So the rumor is true. They have snuck past our defenses" He mutters quietly.

"Awww damn, I thought this was gonna be an easy mission. Couldn't we just have a nice hike and camping trip and then return to base?" Padawan Feaaru complains.  

Liiv responds, "One must have faith in the will of the force, and let it guide you to your destiny."

"I know master, but theres so much to do, I can never catch a break." Feaaru sharply replies. 

"Have patience, young one, rest will come soon." 

They advance on their mission,  collecting intel on the droid forces and listening in on their plans. 

"We have to stop them or the whole planet could be under threat of separatist occupation!" The master comments, fearing the implications of a Separatist controlled Alderaan. 

"It doesn't look like there are many droids here actually master, we can take them out and be done with it." Feaaru says. 

"A good observation, but still be cautious. We don't know what surprises or hidden forces they might have. Any sudden moves could turn the tides against us quickly." He advises. 

They creep near the outside perimeter. It's an open base with no roof, just some gates and walls with numerous droids around and multiple watchtowers scanning for activity.  Transport and supply ships land and take off here as well. It measures about 500 square meters. 

A few B1 droids patrol the outside with blasters and a few holding binoculars. Liivarius extends his hand and hits a droid with a small pebble, drawing its attention. The droid turns around, and heads toward where the jedi are hiding and away from its fellow droids. Liiv forces pushes the droid and the head flies clean off and the body collapses to the ground. Both jedi simultaneously force push two droids in watch towers near the entrance, dismantling them. They sneak into the base, taking cover inside behind a few stray boxes full of weapons and supplies. 

"This seems to be a supply base, interesting. Maybe they have plans for further invasion. But we will stop them!" Feaaru eagerly exclaims. 

"Quiet, we cannot be discovered  until we are ready and in a good position to attack." Liiv whispers. 

Feaaru nods. They run stealthily over to a less busy area in the base and prepare.

"On 3 we attack. Ready, 1, 2, 3!" Liiv says.

They jump out, slicing the nearest droids with their lightsabers. Feaaru uses a blue one and practices form 6. Master Liiv has a green lightsaber and fights with form 3. Liiv deflects incoming  blaster bolts with deadly precision, battle droids falling all around them. His young padawan charges in, slashing down a few more droids. He dodges with a perfectly timed flip away from a flurry of blaster bolts. They advance near the center which gives them a positional advantage so they can move anywhere. The intricate dance of light is made up of swings, slices, blocks and stabs. Each one hits its target, downing another battle droid. B2 battle droids show up as reinforcements but the two jedi stand their ground, maintaining a strong defense. They both counterattack and slice the super battle droids apart. The padawan forces pushes a small squad of flanking B1 droids away, knocking them down into a stack of fuel barrels. He picks up a blaster and shoots the barrels, completely vaporizing the droids. 

"Its going great master! At this rate the base will be gone in no time." Feaaru remarks. 

"Don't jinx it." His master says.

As the sounds of the battle settles down, a loud mechanical clanking noise appears, and Master Liiv hears coughing, unusually. 

"Careful, my young padawan. I sense the presence of a warrior who may turn the tide. I can see he is strong and full of hatred for all jedi."

The clanking sounds stops, an eerie silence filling the air instead. A feeling of dread wraps around the two jedi as they scan their surroundings. 

The jedi sense a danger and move out of the way, while a menacing cyborg slams into the ground where they were standing a second ago. It makes a deafening BOOM sound that shocks them temporarily. General Grievous slowly rises up and reveals himself, throwing off the cape the cloaked his body. He stands up to his full height, staring down at the terrified jedi. He pulls two lightsabers out and ignites them, both of them are blue.
