Clone Wars And Percy Jackson Crossover

Chapter 24

Previously:

"My name is Erlene and this is Alphonse. We are a part of the neighbourhood gang which rebels against the sith control of this village. We are on friendly terms with the republic who used to regularly send us supplies. However, the supplies have stopped coming in due to the tighter control from the separatist's side. That's all that we low levels know. If you want to know more you'll have to go to the higher-ups. We'll take you to them now if that's okay with you of course."

Alphonse was nodding throughout her speech. I guess he's the silent one.

"That would be very helpful, but I don't have that much time. I would very much appreciate it if we could do this as quick as possible. My friend's life is in danger."

Now:

Third person POV:

Erlene grabbed Percy's arm and started dragging him through the labyrinth alleyways while Alphonse followed in long quick strides. They soon came upon a dark road full with dimly lighted shops and buildings. The shops were full of shady-looking people. Some were conversing among themselves while others were observing the quality of the products they wanted to obtain. The street was obviously a black market. You could tell from the objects on the display shelves and from the people themselves. 

Erlene slowed down her walk and let go of Percy who then rubbed his arm which hurt from the tight grip of the woman. She and Alphonse flanked both of his sides causing him to glance warily at them but they paid no attention to it. They continued walking down the street only gaining a couple of curious glances from the underground inhabitants but overall they were ignored. By this point, Percy was told to put his hood on to attract less attention. 

They reached a shop which they entered. It was mostly empty with the exception of one customer and the orange-skinned shopkeeper. The shop was a weapon's store full of things that would be illegal usually. Alphonse walked up to the shopkeeper and they exchanged a couple of hushed lines before the shopkeeper gestured for Erlene and Percy to come up.

"Hey Siri, long time no see," said Erlene quietly. 

"Nice to see you too, Eri. Al here explained everything. I'll tell them to send two other guards to replace you. Off you go now," Siri said and led them to the backroom. He led them all to a staircase which he then opened up like a door revealing a black hole in the bottom. Erlene was the first to silently jump down quickly followed by Alphonse who just as silently disappeared. Percy, unsure at first, stood there for a minute until taking a decisive breath and jumping down. 

He used the force to slow down his descend which turned out to be useless since the hole was only a 7-foot fall. Erlene and Alphonse were there waiting for him. Erlene smiled at him before grabbing his arm again and pulling him through a door and into a room full of people. 

The room he stepped into looked like a bar, with a bar table in front of a huge supply of alcohol. There were people dancing to a live band and others playing table games or cards. 

"This is the front room with the purpose of disguising our base in case it was ever located. Everyone you see in this room is a part of the gang but if you want to see the bosses you'll have to go through to the back," said Erlene before dragging him through the crowd and to the back. On the way there they got a few greetings from their partners who would also question the two guards about Percy but they didn't get an answer.

They reached a big metal door. Alphonse knocked and after a few moments they heard a "come in". They entered. Sitting at a round table was a human who was obviously the boss since he had two guards standing behind him. He wasn't alone. At the table sat a fox-like sentient called an Amaran. They seemed to be in a middle of a discussion when they were interrupted. 

"Erlene, Alphonse. Nice to see you. And who is that?" the man said. 

"This is Percy Jackson. He's a Jedi but we don't know why he's here. He wanted to speak to you," Alphonse replied.

"I see. Thank you very much for bringing him here. You may step out now."

"Sir yes sir." The two guards replied in unison and left Percy with the boss.

"You are the boss right?" Percy asked receiving a confirming nod before continuing. "And you're against the separatists?" He received another nod. "That's good. I'm here because I was sent down to here to find and help Senator Amidala and her companions who are stranded on this planet. Your help would be very much appreciated."

The boss waited for a bit, deep in thought, before turning to one of his guards and whispering something. The guard left and the boss turned back to Percy.

"You're in luck, young man. We happen to have one Senator, two droids and a Gungan in our facilities. I have just sent one of my guards to bring them here. However, can we trust your word that you're not a Sith? I cannot imagine the Jedi sending out one of their own, especially one so young, on their own in such a dangerous place," the man said. 

"I wasn't originally here on my own. We were ambushed when we landed and they destroyed my ship. My friend was taken and now is a prisoner of the Sith. I am currently being hunted down by the droids.  I was thankfully rescued by Erlene and Alphonse who took me here upon finding out that I'm a Jedi. I was ordered by my friend to complete our mission so that is what I'm planning to do. " The man smiled at this and then motioned for Percy to join them at the table.

"Well then, Young Jedi, my organisation shall do all in our power to help you. "
