Star Wars Fanfic - The Padawan Path

Cap. 11 - Elite

Roy could tell the seriousness of the situation depending on the way his master Pablo called him to the command post. And when the Ongree said, "Right away," it was because something wasn't right.

The young padawan had to leave a game of cards he had with his platoon mates to head to the command post of his capital ship, only to find a war meeting between his master, Commander Tukk, and members of the Jedi council.

Around the holoprojector table were four blue silhouettes that Roy knew very well from his time at the Jedi Temple. These were none other than Mace Windu himself, Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Kit Fisto.

Pablo: - Young Roy, just in time. Masters, my Padawan has arrived. - He said when he saw him enter through the doors of the premises.

All the teachers of the council stopped looking at the holoprojection table to look at the young man who had just arrived, although the looks of each teacher differed considerably. Yoda was playful, knowing his temperament and his resemblance to Skywalker himself. Kit Fisto, as usual, smiled at him when he saw him, although he always smiled at everyone. Ki-Adi-Mundi looked at him thoughtfully, as if he were analyzing the young man who gave off so much mystery during his stay in the temple. And Mace looked at him stoically, even a little defiantly, he didn't like Roy's manner. It was as if he could see through her being. He himself opposed the idea of ​​sending the Padawan to the battlefield, but as with Anakin Skywalker, the rest of the council's opinions opposed his.

But along with all those projections, there was a fifth projection. An image that Roy had only seen on posts and advertisements in the Republic. It was Chancellor Palpatine himself.

Roy: - A pleasure to see you again, teachers, chancellor. - Despite the stares, Roy managed to maintain his composure and greet his superiors properly.

Yoda: - Good. We all already here are. The meeting begin must . -

Pablo: - What is the situation? -

Kit Fisto: - We have received alarming reports from a distant planet called Cyrkon. Located in Hutt Space, on the borders of the outer rim. -

Pablo: - The Hutts? What's going on? -

Ki-Adi-Mundi: - Reports say that a group of Separatists are making agreements with the Hutts. Very dangerous agreements for the Republic. -

Pablo: - I thought that the Hutts remained neutral in this entire galactic conflict. -

Mace Windu: - It is most likely not the direct work of the Hutt clan, but someone is using his name and influence to deal with the enemy. Your mission will be to find and deactivate that contact at any cost. -

Palpatine: - General Pablo. It is extremely important to carry out this task with great discretion. The Hutts are a major force in the galaxy, and turning them against us will not be good for our cause. -

Pablo: - Yes, chancellor. We will act as a small force so as not to arouse suspicion. -

Yoda: - Discretion in this mission exercised must be. Alerting the Hutt clan to our operations in Cyrkon would be better. In your judgment we will trust, Master Pablo. -

Pablo: - That's how it will be. May the Forces be with you, teachers, chancellor. -

All: - May the Force be with you. -

One by one, all the holograms disconnected, Ki-Adi-Mundi being the first, followed by Master Fisto. Next was Master Mace, but not before seeing young Roy with some distrust, something that did not go unnoticed by many. Next was Chancellor Palpatine, who was not only very courteous in his speech, but also gave the young Padawan a slight smile. And finally, Master Yoda, who did the same as the chancellor.
