Ten years ago…
Anakin still clearly remembers that he, his teacher, Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan, who rescued him from Tatooine, plus nearly a hundred Jedi Knights, were involved in a reckless raid. This planet was captured here by Count Dooku and those insect-like Geonosians!
Fortunately, at that critical moment, when the destroyer robots and combat robots were about to shoot them all on the spot, it was that little girl, the powerful Her Excellency Anne Hastur, who rushed to the scene in time. arrived and saved them all.
And today, ten years later, he, Anakin, came here again, and following what the Force told him and some kind of connection between him and Padmé, he carefully landed his spaceship. Next to the entrance of a large Geonosian steam smoker and hidden behind a pile of rocks.
He now vaguely sensed that something had happened to Padme, and that the other party should be nearby, because he felt the other party's presence! So, he vowed to spare no effort to save the other party, just like the powerful Anne Head of State did when she saved them ten years ago?
In short, in Anakin's opinion, since the little eight-year-old Yuan was able to sneak into the enemy's nest and rescue so many of them safely, then he can also successfully rescue his Padmé. of! As for Obi-Wan and the others, if he could, he would probably rescue them, but if not, he wouldn't force it.
After all, his insect swarm should be arriving soon, so it seems that it is not impossible to leave them to his insect swarm to save them?
but……
Although he was anxious and worried about Padmé's life safety, Anakin still retained a trace of reason, and contacted a certain worm from the No. 2 worm swarm far away on Naboo on his ship for the last time. A red elite Force Hydralisk.
"It's you?"
"I have arrived at Geonosis now. The swarm support fleet I asked you to support, where are they?"
In the communication, Anakin was only slightly surprised when he saw the strong elite Force Hydralisk appeared, and then quickly frowned and asked.
He didn't have time to ask about the situation on Naboo. In his opinion, there would definitely be no big problem anyway. In addition, there was no one he needed to worry about there... So, now he only cares about his request. What happened to the reinforcements and where are they?
'hiss……'
'Report to the great Master Anakin...'
'Desini, the queen of the No. 2 swarm, has led two Leviathan warships to Geonosis. Based on distance calculations, they can arrive and launch an attack on the enemy within eighteen hours at the latest! '
'Master, please wait patiently...'
The red elite Force Hydralisk spoke slowly, and explained some relevant information about the reinforcements and the insect queen responsible for commanding the reinforcements.
"What?"
"Eighteen hours, that's noon tomorrow? No! It's been too long. Padme has been captured by the enemy. I'm worried that it will be too late tomorrow!"
When Anakin thinks about Padmé being captured and possibly being tortured by those hateful Geonosians and the Trade Federation, when he thinks that that situation is probably happening or has happened, let alone eighteen It's an hour, and he doesn't want to wait for an hour!
So, after thinking about it for a while, he quickly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
'But the master! '
'This is already the fastest speed of our insect swarm. It took us a long time for the two Leviathans to fly from the interior of the planet Naboo to the universe...'
Previously, they destroyed all the combat robots and spaceships of the Trade Federation, explained the situation to the anxious Queen of Naboo in the palace of Naboo, won the limited trust of the Naboo people, and cooperated to blockade the planet Naboo. , and then hurriedly controlled two Leviathans and carried a large number of insect swarm combat units to Geonosis, only eighteen hours slower than Anakin, which was not too slow.
"..."
"I won't wait for you any longer. I'll sneak in first, and you'll launch an attack as soon as you arrive tomorrow. Do you understand me?!"
Afraid that something might happen to Padmé or that she was suffering from some terrible torture, Anakin gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision. He also rarely took a Naboo blaster pistol from the cockpit. Unprepared.
'But the master! '
'You might be in danger...'
What is Anakin's power like? How could this elite Force Hydralisk not know it? In its opinion, the other party's little ability, let alone compared with the legendary insect swarm master in the Koprulu sector - the Queen of Blades, is afraid that the other party has not even successfully upgraded and evolved it. The elite Hydralisks of the Force cannot be defeated, right?
Therefore, it was not optimistic about the opponent's behavior of sneaking into the enemy's lair alone, so he quickly persuaded Anakin tactfully, hoping that Anakin would change his mind and wait for the support of the insect swarm to arrive.
"No!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs, just obey the orders!"
How could Anakin, who was so overwhelmed by emotion, care about so much?
Because he is their master, he is the one giving orders, not listening to their opinions!
So, after saying that, he arbitrarily closed the communication, then turned around and ran quickly towards the cabin, planning to break into the Geonosian lair alone without waiting for his swarm, and try to Get Padmé out first!
He also knew that there might be danger later, but when he thought about Padmé not knowing what it would be like now, he couldn't care so much anymore.
…
The Geonosians are a race native to the planet Geonosis. Their appearance and social structure are similar to insects. Moreover, the Geonosians are very brave and militant. During this decade of chaos, they not only served as the vanguard of the Separatist forces, but also built an astonishing number of battle robot armies for the Trade Federation and the Technology Alliance.
Once upon a time, Geonosis was conquered by the powerful human forces of the Hero Federation. However, after the irresponsible Hero Federation army, the 'Great Republic Army', retreated, the Geonosians were very They soon came back and reoccupied this place, and made it one of the bases and military factories of the Separatist Alliance.
And today, Anakin came here again, and immediately jumped under the huge steaming chimney, and began to slowly grope towards the location where he sensed the force...
"..."
Anakin didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, but, confident in his abilities, he still walked forward firmly, and relied on the force's induction to avoid the Geonosians again and again. The patrol also used the Force to destroy every surveillance equipment they encountered from a distance.
However……
When Anakin thought that everything would go smoothly and he would be able to rescue Padmé and return home with the beauty in his arms, he discovered that after using the force to open a steel door, he was waiting for him in a hall inside. , but a large group of battle droids, destroyer droids and two Jedi Knights? !
'! ! '
'Teacher, why are you here? ! '
Yes, the reason why Anakin screamed out in surprise was because he actually saw his teacher, Qui-Gon Jinn, standing with the group of battle robots that immediately surrounded him, and with that The leader of the Separatist Alliance, who Anakin had met each other ten years ago, and had often seen each other's photos and holographic images in the past few years, stood with that Count Dooku?
"etc!"
"Teacher, what's going on? Why are you standing with them?"
Seeing those combat robots and destroyer robots slowly spread out to form a circle and aim their weapons at him, surrounding him in the middle, Anakin thought to himself that it was bad and at the same time quickly drew out his lightsaber and ejected it. He picked up the magnetically restrained plasma beam blade, guarded slightly nervously against the robots around him, and questioned his teacher incomprehensively.
He could see that the other party was not restrained or held hostage by Count Dooku or those robots. He even had a lightsaber hilt on his waist. He was obviously with Count Dooku?
"this……"
"Anakin, this is a bit complicated. How about you put down your lightsaber first and I'll explain it to you slowly?"
He touched his nose a little. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn seemed a little embarrassed to talk about certain things. Therefore, he first looked at Count Dooku next to him, and then hurriedly signaled Anakin not to be nervous. What's the matter? Do we have to wait for him to explain things clearly first?
"I don't need to explain, teacher, you are actually with them, how could you do this?!"
"Where's Padmé?"
"What did you do to her?!"
Although he seems to be in trouble now, what Anakin is more worried about is not himself, but Padmé, who has been unable to contact and may have been caught by the other party!
"snort!"
"This is your apprentice, here just for a woman? Qui-Gon Jinn, your Jedi Order's ability to teach apprentices is getting worse and worse!"
Before Qui-Gon Jinn could say anything, Count Dooku sneered and snorted.
"..."
"Anakin, put your sword down first, and I will make it clear to you..."
With his teacher on one side and his apprentice on the other, Qui-Gon Jinn, who was caught in the middle, didn't know what to do. He could only bite the bullet and try to persuade Anakin to put down his weapon and not show off. Show such strong hostility and then explain it slowly?
"No!"
"Teacher, are you now in cahoots with these Separatist Alliance bastards? You disappoint me so much... Where is Obi-Wan? Why didn't I see him?"
"You killed him?!"
Finally, Anakin finally remembered a certain unlucky senior brother Obi-Wan. Then, judging from the fact that the other party did not appear here, it was not difficult for him to judge what the other party had gone through. I was afraid that he would It must be similar to what you are now, right?
"No!"
"Anakin, I didn't! Things are not as simple as you think. It's very complicated. You listen first..."
Hearing what Anakin said, Qui-Gon Jinn was a little anxious and was about to explain. However, before he could say anything, he was rudely interrupted by the teacher next to him, that is, Count Dooku. .
'okay! '
'Qui-Gon Jinn, my good apprentice, let me tell him! '
After speaking, Count Dooku slowly walked up to Anakin and introduced himself:
"You must already know who I am, young Skywalker, yes, I am the Count Dooku you have been looking for!"
"At the same time, I am Qui-Gon Jinn's mentor, that is, your mentor's mentor. In this way, you should understand the origin and relationship between us, right?"
Count Dooku said this, ignoring the lightsaber in Anakin's hand that was guarding him.
"!!"
"Just because of this, just because he is your mentor, teacher, you rebelled against the Jedi Temple?"
Anakin felt a little incredible, and his tone couldn't help but raise a few points.
He felt that even if he wanted to rebel against the Jedi Temple, he, Anakin Skywalker, should be the first to do so. Why was it that Qui-Gon Jinn, the teacher who usually looked like a good guy and was often too busy to be seen, was the first to rebel?
"No!"
"I didn't! Anakin, the situation now is different from before. For the sake of the Republic, we must make our own judgments and choices!!"
Qui-Gon Jinn jumped a little hastily.
Obviously, he didn't quite agree with Anakin's statement of 'rebellion' and the look in his eyes full of disdain and contempt when he looked at him.
"snort!"
"Okay, let me explain!"
Count Dooku, who had no intention of wasting time or listening to the master and apprentice in front of him arguing about something for a long time, rudely interrupted Qui-Gon Jinn's speech again, then stared at Anakin coldly to explain. Some bad basic situations have been discovered.
For example, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, who has clearly expired his term but refuses to abdicate no matter what, is the Sith Lord, a Dark Jedi named Darth Sidious. Si guy? And he actually organized the Separatist Alliance to defeat the Sith Lord and eradicate the corruption of the Galactic Republic?
"That's probably what happened."
"In short, we already have enough evidence to show that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is the biggest enemy of the Republic. He is leading the division of the Republic and is preparing to hatch his terrible conspiracy!"
"So, Anakin, I'm very optimistic about you, come on, join our cause!"
After speaking, Count Dooku stretched out his hand towards Anakin and motioned for Anakin to put down his weapons and stand with them, the great rebels.
"shut up!"
"I don't care who of you is right or wrong. You should tell the Jedi Council about this kind of thing. Now, hand over Padmé to me first!"
Where does Anakin care if there is a conspiracy or not?
You know, even he himself is still plotting, and he even hides an entire swarm army at the bottom of Coruscant that is enough to destroy or occupy Coruscant, and his swarm fleet will be here soon. What does it have to do with Palpatine whether he engages in separatism or conspiracy?
He thinks that Anakin himself, Chancellor Palpatine, or these guys in front of him should not talk about each other, and no one is right or wrong. Anyway, let's put Padmé first. Hand it over and everything will be easy to discuss!
"snort!"
"Jedi Council? Believe me, young Skywalker, they are not much better than Palpatine! If they hadn't always done nothing for their transcendent status and secretly controlled the Galactic Parliament, the Galactic Republic would have How could he be so corrupt and reduced to such a situation?”
"Besides, do you naively think that the Second Army of the Republic is really the army of the Republic?"
"Wake up, Anakin Skywalker, now the Jedi Council is unable to protect itself. You can't count on anyone now. The only way out is to join us!"
Not to mention the Jedi Council, it was okay. When it came to the Jedi Council and the elders inside who waved the banner of justice in their hands, but privately clung to their power, Count Dooku sneered.
If he hadn't seen the faces of those guys clearly, how could he, Count Dooku, voluntarily give up the use of the Force that he had learned for eighty years, turned to the Sith, and finally formed the Confederation of Independent Systems? Against the Galactic Republic?
Of course, now Count Dooku not only has to fight against the Galactic Republic, he also has to fight against the Jedi Temple and his Sith teacher! Therefore, if possible, he also hopes to successfully persuade the legendary and said to be very powerful Anakin Skywalker in front of him to join his team, so that the three masters and apprentices of their family can work together To accomplish that great cause?
"enough!"
"I can't easily believe what you say. In short, hand over Padmé first, and then I will slowly investigate what you said."
Be it the Jedi Council, the Galactic Republic, or even the Sith Lords, he, Anakin, doesn't care at all! However, if the other party can hand over his Padmé, then everything will be easy to negotiate!
He might even give an order to his swarm fleet to return to Naboo and stop attacking Geonosis and the fleets of the Separatist Alliance scattered around?
"No!"
"Other conditions are acceptable, but not this!"
However, Count Dooku smiled and shook his head, rejecting Anakin's reasonable request. Even the teacher on the side, Qui-Gon Jinn, looked a little weird?
"!!"
"Why?!"
Anakin had a vague premonition, or maybe this had something to do with Obi-Wan not being here?
"Is such that……"
"Padmé Amidala has been handed over to the Governor of the Trade Federation and promised to be executed tomorrow! We, the Federation of Independent Systems, have to exchange her life for the entire Trade Federation to join. Cost-effective!"
"Young Skywalker, you have to know that sometimes, when we do something, we have to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to take into account the overall situation?"
In a flash, Count Dooku had just finished speaking when an enraged Anakin rushed towards him waving his lightsaber.
“Fuck you big picture!!”
Anakin, eyes red with fear, saw the opportunity and pounced directly.
"What does a Trade Federation mean? In my eyes, Padmé is more important than all of you combined!!"
He plans to take down Count Dooku first, then use him to coerce the surrounding battle robots and destroyer robots, and then use him to exchange for Padmé or delay time?
Otherwise, once he is distanced, he may be doomed. He will definitely not be an opponent of those destroyer robots, because the small deflection shield generator on the opponent's body is indeed very difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are There are so many of them, even one or two can make Jedi warriors like them run away!
"Hmph! Stubborn!"
"Qui-Gon Jinn, look at you. These are the two good apprentices you taught. One was brainwashed by the Jedi Council, and the other ignored the overall interests of the galaxy for personal affairs?"
Count Dooku dodged Anakin's attack while angrily yelling at Qui-Gon Jinn behind him.
"this……"
"Teacher...Anakin..."
Qui-Gon Jinn seemed to be in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Obi-Wan was like this before, and Anakin was even more unbearable now. He couldn't seem to let go of his old face as a teacher... However, he didn't understand why these two apprentices didn't understand. Lord Darth Sidious is so terrifying. Who knows what serious consequences it will have on the galaxy if his conspiracy succeeds?
"snort!"
"I'll take him down, just watch from the side!"
After avoiding a few swords from the opponent and roughly judging Anakin's strength, Count Dooku directly ejected his red-edged lightsaber and attacked Anakin head-on.
"teacher!"
"Anakin is very strong. If he can join us, it will be a huge help for us to fight against the Sith Lord!"
Surprisingly, Qui-Gon Jinn had just spoken, and before the two people in front of him had even exchanged three moves, he saw: his teacher, Count Dooku, actually kicked the lightsaber out of Anakin's hand. And put the red lightsaber against Anakin's throat? !
"I do not understand!"
"Qui-Gon Jinn, with his ability, how could he defeat more than two hundred bounty hunters... Could it be that those two hundred people were more than two hundred Nuna beasts?"
"have a look!"
"He actually brought this kind of rotten iron, and he naively wanted to defeat a Jedi with this kind of thing?!"
Count Dooku smoothly pulled out the 'S-5' Naboo blaster pistol from Anakin's waist and threw it into a corner with a sneer.
After waving to several combat robots to come forward, lock and hold Anakin in chains, Count Dooku asked Qui-Gon Jinn with a look as if he had seen a ghost.
Obviously, he had heard a lot of Anakin's deeds before, and he also knew the fact that Anakin had defeated hundreds of powerful bounty hunters with one person. He had been worried for a long time, and even wanted to get as many as possible. Recruiting the opponent, but now look at it, it is such a vain thing?
"..."
Qui-Gon Jinn was speechless. Fortunately, he had just strongly recommended Anakin to his teacher, and even worried about his teacher for a long time.
"!!"
"You won't succeed. Someone will defeat you soon!"
With his hands cuffed by special alloy shackles, and there were two combat robots and two Destroyer robots guarding him behind him, Anakin, knowing that he had completely failed, still said arrogantly.
"Yeah?"
"But it's a pity that no one can save you, not even the Second Army of the Republic!"
The former 'Great Republic Army' might be able to, but Count Dooku is very sure that they and that powerful woman Nova are no longer in this galaxy, and their only connection is with Naboo, and now they should also be The Trade Federation's robot army was captured and destroyed, right?
Therefore, he does not feel that there is anything to worry about now, and thinks that after obtaining the official membership of the Trade Federation, maybe he can try it and make a direct raid before his teacher has fully obtained the full power of the Galactic Republic. Coruscant and replace it?
"..."
"Teacher, what do you plan to do with Anakin and Obi-Wan?"
Regarding Padmé, although Qui-Gon Jinn wanted to save her, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the entire galaxy and the Republic, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb... However, for the sake of his two apprentices, he still planned to make a little effort. Fight for it.
"snort!"
"Tomorrow, I will give you one last chance to persuade you. If it still doesn't work, then don't waste time!"
"Qui-Gon Jinn, we don't have time, you should think about it yourself!!"
After speaking, Count Dooku waved his hand and asked the combat robots to take Anakin to prison. After that, he put away his lightsaber, persuaded Qui-Gon Jinn and turned away.
"ah!?"
"This this……"
Qui-Gon Jinn seemed a little overwhelmed and could only watch helplessly as the robots escorted Anakin away.
Although he didn't have a lot of time to teach Anakin, after all, he brought him out of Tatooine and watched him grow up. In addition, he was still his apprentice, so in Quetzalcoatl It seemed to Gang Jin that he couldn't bear to watch them die here.
However, we can only wait until tomorrow to tell you how to do it specifically...
