Chapter 1237: The Return of the Star of Geonosis
Ten years ago......
Anakin remembered vividly that he, his teacher, and the Guru Quegon King, who had rescued him from Tatooine, and Obi-Wan, plus nearly a hundred Jedi knights, had been captured by Count Dooku and the insects of Geonosis, for their reckless raid on this part of the planet!
Thankfully, at the critical moment, when the Destroyer and Battlebots were about to shoot them all on the spot, it was the little girl, the mighty Führer Anne Hasta, who arrived in time to save them all.
Now, ten years later, he Anakin was here again, and following the kind of vague induction that the Force had told him, and with the same kind of dark induction he had with Padmé, he carefully landed his ship at the entrance to a large steam cooker of the Geonosis and hid it behind a pile of rubble.
He now vaguely sensed that Padme shouldn't have had an accident yet, and that the other party should be nearby, because he felt the other party's presence! So, he swore that he would spare no effort to save them, just as the mighty Führer Anne had done when he saved them ten years ago?
In short, in Anakin's opinion, since the eight-year-old little governor was able to infiltrate the enemy's lair and rescue so many of them safely, then he would have succeeded in rescuing his Padme! As for Obi-Wan and the others, if he could, he might have rescued them, and if he couldn't, he wouldn't have been reluctant.
After all, his swarm should be coming soon, so it doesn't seem impossible to save the swarm that their guys left for him?
But......
Despite being anxious and worried about Padme's life, Anakin kept his senses and made contact with the red elite Force Stinging Serpent one last time on his ship, one of the second biters in Naboo's Swarm of Naboo.
"Is that you?"
"I've arrived on Geonosis now, where are the swarm support fleets I asked you to support?"
In the communication, Anakin was only slightly surprised when he saw that it was the strong elite Force stinging snake that appeared, and then quickly asked with a frown.
He didn't have time to ask about Naboo's situation, but in his opinion, there would definitely be no major problems, and there was no one there he needed to worry about right now...... So, now all he cares about is what happened to the reinforcements he asked for and where they were.
'Hiss......'
'Report the great master of Anakin......
'Decini, the queen of the second swarm, has already led two Leviathan warships to the star of Geonosis, and according to the distance, he can reach and attack the enemy in eighteen hours at the latest! ’
'Please be patient, host......
The red elite Force Stinger said slowly, explaining some of the situation related to the reinforcements and the worm queen who was in charge of commanding the reinforcements.
"What?"
"Eighteen hours, that's noon tomorrow? No way! It's been too long, Padmé has been captured by the enemy, and I'm afraid it'll be too late by tomorrow! “
Anakin didn't want to wait an hour at the thought of Padmé being captured by those abominable Gionosis and trade confederacy and possibly being tortured, and the thought that that situation was likely to be happening or had already happened, let alone eighteen hours!
So, after thinking about it for a while, he quickly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
'But master! ’
"This is already the fastest speed of our swarm, and it took us a lot of time to get those two Leviathans flying from the interior of Naboo into the universe......
Previously, they had wiped out all of the Trade Alliance's battle robots and ships, explained the situation to the fearful Queen of Naboo in Naboo's palace, earned the limited trust of the Naboo, and cooperated with the blockade of Naboo, and then hurriedly took control of the two Leviathans and carried a large number of swarm combat units to Geonosis, which was only eighteen hours slower than Anakin, which was not slow.
“……”
"I'm not waiting for you guys, I'll sneak in later, and you'll attack as soon as you arrive tomorrow, do you understand?!"
Fearing that something might happen to Padmé or that the other party was suffering some kind of terrible torture, Anakin gritted his teeth and made a decision on the spot, and took a Nabu blaster from the cockpit in a rare way to be caught off guard.
'But master! ’
'Then you could be in danger......
What does Anakin's power look like, and how could this elite Force stinging snake not know? In its opinion, the other party's ability, not to mention compared to the legendary swarm master in the Kprustar Zone, the Queen of Blades, I'm afraid that the other party can't even beat it, an elite stinging snake that has successfully upgraded and evolved the Force, right?
Therefore, it was very unoptimistic about the other party's behavior of infiltrating the enemy's lair single-handedly, so it quickly persuaded it tactfully, hoping that Anakin would change his mind and honestly wait for the support of the swarm to arrive.
"No!"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs, you just have to obey orders!"
Where would Anakin, who was carried away by emotion, care so much?
Because he is their master, he is the one who gives orders, not to listen to them!
So, after saying that, he directly and brutally turned off the communication, then turned around and ran briskly towards the cabin, planning to break into the lair of those Geonosis people alone without waiting for his swarm, and try to save Padme first!
He also knew that there might be danger later, but he couldn't care so much at the thought that Padmé didn't know what it would be like now.
……
The Gianonosis are a native race of the planet Gionosis that resembles insects in appearance and social structure. Moreover, the Gionosis were fierce and belligerent, serving not only as the vanguard of separatist forces during the chaotic decade of the decade, but also building a staggering army of combat robots for trade and technology alliances.
Once, the star of Geonosis was breached by the powerful Terran forces of the Heroic Federation, but after the retreat of the irresponsible Heroic Federation army, the 'Army of the Great Republic', the Geonosis soon regained and reoccupied the area, making it one of the bases and arsenals of the Separatist Alliance.
Today, Anakin was here again, and jumped under the steaming shimper, and began to grope his way towards where he sensed the Force......
“……”
Anakin didn't know what was waiting for him, but confident in his abilities, he walked forward steadfastly, and with the help of the Force's induction, he dodged the Geonosis patrols again and again, and used the Force to destroy the surveillance equipment he encountered from a distance.
However......
When Anakin thought that everything would go well, and that he would be able to rescue Padmé and return with the beauty in his arms, he found that after opening a steel gate with the Force, a large group of battle robots, Destroyer robots, and two Jedi knights were waiting for him in a hall inside?!
‘!! ’
'Teacher, why are you here?!' ’
Yes, Anakin exclaimed in surprise because, he actually saw that his teacher, that Quigang King, was standing with the group of battle droids that surrounded him in an instant, and the head of the separatist alliance who had seen each other ten years ago, and who had often seen each other's photos and holograms in the past few years, stood with the Count of Dooku?
"Wait!"
"Teacher, what's going on, why are you standing with them?"
Watching those battle robots and destroyer robots slowly spread out in a circle and aim their weapons at themselves, surrounding themselves in the middle, Anakin secretly said bad in his heart, and at the same time, he hurriedly drew his lightsaber and ejected the magnetically confined plasma beam blade, slightly nervously guarding against the robots around him, and questioned his teacher in confusion.
He could see that the other party was not restrained or held hostage by any Count Dooku or those robots, and even the hilt of the lightsaber was pinned to his waist, obviously with that Count Dooku?
"This ......"
"Anakin, this matter is a bit complicated, why don't you put down the lightsaber first, and I'll explain it to you slowly?"
Touching his nose a little sneeringly, Jedi Master Quigang King seemed to be a little difficult to talk about certain things, so he first looked at Count Dooku beside him, and then hurriedly signaled Anakin not to be nervous, what should he say clearly?
"I don't need to explain, teacher, you are actually in a league with them, how can you do this?!"
"Where's Padmay?"
"What did you do to her?!"
Although he seems to be a little difficult to protect himself now, Anakin is more worried about not himself, but Padme, who has never been able to contact him, and is likely to have been caught by the other party!
"Humph!"
"This is your apprentice, who came here for a woman? Quigang Kim, your Jedi Order apprentices are getting worse and worse! ”
Without waiting for Quigang King to say anything, Count Dooku sneered and snorted.
“……”
"Anakin, you put your sword down first, and I'll make it clear to you......"
On one side is his own teacher, and on the other side is his own apprentice, which makes Kuigang King, who is caught in the middle, not know what to do, so he can only bite the bullet and say, planning to try to persuade Anakin to lay down his weapon first, not to show such strong hostility and then slowly narrate?
"No!"
"Teacher, are you now in the same league as these separatist League bastards? You've let me down so much...... What about Obi-Wan? Why didn't I see him? ”
"You killed him?!"
Finally, Anakin finally remembered a certain unlucky senior brother Obi-Wan at this time, and then, judging from the fact that the other party did not appear here, it is not difficult for him to judge what the other party has experienced, but I am afraid that it must be similar to his current situation from the beginning, right?
"No!"
"Anakin, I didn't! It's not as simple as you think, it's complicated, you listen first......"
Hearing Anakin say this, Quigang King was a little anxious and was about to explain, but before he could say anything, he was brutally interrupted by his teacher, the Count of Dooku.
'That's it! ’
'Quigon King, my good apprentice, let me go and tell him!' ’
With that, Count Dooku slowly walked up to Anakin and introduced himself:
"You already know who I am, young Skywalker, yes, I'm the Count Dooku you've been looking for!"
"At the same time, I'm also the mentor of Kuigang Kim, that is, the mentor of your mentor, so you should understand the origin and relationship of our this, right?"
Ignoring the lightsaber in Anakin's hand that was wary of him, Count Dooku said so.
“!!”
"Just because of this, just because he's your mentor, you're betraying the Jedi Temple?"
Anakin felt a little incredulous, and his tone couldn't help but raise a little.
He felt that even if he wanted to betray the Jedi Temple, he should come first, Anakin Skywalker, why did he take the lead in the rebellion now that his teacher Quigang King, who usually looked like a good old man and was often too busy?
"No!"
"I didn't! Anakin, the situation is different now, for the sake of the republic, we must have our judgment and choice!! ”
Kui Gangjin jumped to his feet a little hurriedly.
Obviously, he didn't quite agree with Anakin's statement that he was 'mutiny' and the disdainful and contemptuous look in his eyes.
"Humph!"
"Alright, let me explain!"
Not intending to waste time, nor prepared to listen to the master and apprentice in front of him arguing about something for a long time, Count Dooku stared coldly at Anakin and explained some evil basic information after interrupting Quigon King's speech again and brutally.
For example, the Supreme Speaker of the Galactic Republic, the Shiv Palpatine who has clearly passed his term, but refuses to abdicate, is the Sith Lord, a dark Jedi named Darth Sidious? And he organized the separatist alliance to defeat the Sith Lord and eradicate the corruption of the Galactic Republic?
"That's about it."
"In short, we already have enough evidence that the Supreme Speaker Palpatine is the greatest enemy of the Republic, who is the one who presides over the division of the Republic and is ready to hatch his terrible plot!"
"So, Anakin, I'm optimistic about you, come on, join our cause!"
With that, Count Dooku held out his hand to Anakin and motioned for him to lay down his arms and stand with the great rebels.
"Shut up!"
"I don't care which of you is right or wrong, you should go and tell the Jedi Council about this kind of thing, now, hand over Padme to me first!"
Where does Anakin care about what conspiracy is not a conspiracy?
You know, even he is still conspiring, and even hiding an entire swarm army at the bottom of Coruscant that is enough to destroy or occupy Coruscant, and his swarm fleet will soon be here, what does it matter to him whether Palpatine is splitting or conspiring or not?
He thinks that he Anakin himself and the Speaker Palpatine, or these guys in front of him, don't say anything about anyone, and no one is right or wrong, anyway, hand over his Padmé first, then everything will be negotiable!
"Humph!"
"Jedi Council? Believe me, young Skywalkers, they're just not much better than Palpatine! If it weren't for the fact that they had always failed to act for the sake of their transcendent status, and had secretly controlled the Galactic Council, where would the Galactic Republic be so corrupt and reduced to such a state? ”
"Moreover, do you naively think that the Second Republic Army is really the army of the Republic?"
"Wake up, Anakin Skywalker, now that the Jedi Council is too much to protect itself, you can't count on anyone now, only by joining us is the best way out!"
Not to mention that the Jedi Council is okay, when it comes to the Jedi Council and the elders inside who are waving the banner of righteousness in their hands, but clinging to power in private, Count Dooku is a little scoffed.
If he hadn't seen the faces of those guys clearly, how could he, Count Dooku, voluntarily give up the way he had learned to use the Force for eighty years, turn to the Sith, and finally form an independent galactic confederation to fight against the Galactic Republic?
Of course, Count Dooku now is not just going to have to fight against the Galactic Republic, he's also going to have to fight against the Jedi Sanctuary and his Sith teacher! So, if he could, he also hoped to succeed in convincing the legendary and supposedly powerful Anakin Skywalker in front of him to join his team, so that the three of them could accomplish that great cause together?
"Enough!"
"I can't easily believe your words, anyway, hand over Padmé first, and then I will naturally investigate what you said."
Whether it's the Jedi Council, the Galactic Republic, or even the Sith Lord or something, he Anakin doesn't care! However, if the other party can hand over his padmé, then everything is negotiable!
He might even give his swarm fleet an order to turn back to Naboo and stop attacking the fleet of the Gionosis and the scattered Secessionist Alliances?
"No!"
"Everything else is fine, but this one doesn't work!"
However, Count Dooku shook his head with a smile and refused Anakin's reasonable request, and even the expression of the teacher on the side, Quigang King, looked a little strange?
“!!”
"Why?!"
Anakin had a vague premonition that something was not so good, or maybe it had something to do with Obi-Wan's absence here?
"That's ......"
"Padmé Amidala has been handed over by us to the Governor of the Trade Federation, and promised them to be executed tomorrow! Our Independent Galaxies Federation wants to exchange her life for the joining of the entire Trade Alliance, which is very cost-effective! ”
"Young Skywalker, do you know that sometimes, we have to sacrifice the interests of a small group of people to do something?"
In an instant, no sooner had Count Dooku finished his words than a furious Anakin swung his lightsaber and lunged at him.
"your big picture!!"
Anakin, who was red-eyed, saw the opportunity and pounced directly.
"What is a trade alliance, in my eyes, Padmé is more important than all of you combined!!"
He plans to take down the Count Dooku first, and then use the other party to coerce the surrounding battle robots and destroyer robots, and then use the other party to exchange for Padme or delay time?
Otherwise, once he is distanced, then he may be finished, he will definitely not be the opponent of those Destroyer robots, because the small deflection shield generator on the opponent's body is indeed very difficult, not to mention that there are so many of them here, even if there are only one or two of them, they can let a Jedi like them escape!
"Humph! Stubborn! ”
"Look at you, Quigon King, these are the two good apprentices you taught, one was brainwashed by the Jedi Council, and the other was disregarding the overall situation of the entire galaxy for personal reasons?"
Count Dooku dodged Anakin's attacks and lashed out at Quigonjin behind him.
"This ......"
"Teacher...... Anakin ......"
King looked a little torn and didn't know what to do.
This was the case with Obi-Wan before, and now Anakin is even more unbearable, and his old face as a teacher seems to be unable to put it aside...... However, he didn't understand, how could these two apprentices not understand the terribleness of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and the serious consequences that could be caused to the galaxy once the other party's conspiracy succeeded?
"Humph!"
"I'll take him down, and you can just watch from the side!"
After avoiding a few swords and roughly judging Anakin's strength, Count Dooku directly popped out his red-bladed lightsaber and attacked Anakin head-on.
"Teacher!"
"Anakin is very strong, if he can join us, it will be a great help for us in the fight against the Sith Lord!"
Surprisingly, Quigang King had just spoken, and before the two of them had yet to fight three moves, he saw that his teacher, Count Dooku, had kicked the lightsaber in Anakin's hand with a single kick, and used the red lightsaber against Anakin's throat?!
"I don't understand!"
"Quigang King, with his ability, how can he defeat more than two hundred bounty hunters...... Could it be that more than 200 people are more than 200 Nunamon? ”
"Look!"
"He even brought this kind of rotten iron, and he naively wanted to defeat a Jedi knight with this kind of thing?!"
Count Dooku pulled the 'S-5' Nabu blaster from Anakin's waist and threw it into a corner with a scoff.
After waving his hand and motioning for several battle robots to come forward and shackle Anakin and hold him down, Count Dooku asked Quegangin with a ghostly look.
Obviously, he had heard a lot of Anakin's deeds before, and he also knew the fact that the other party had defeated hundreds of powerful bounty hunters by himself, and he was still worried for a long time, and even wanted to recruit the other party as much as possible, but now look at it, it is such a vain thing?
“……”
Quigon King was speechless, he had just tried to recommend Anakin to his teacher, and even worried about his teacher for a long time.
“!!”
"You won't succeed, someone will come to defeat you soon!"
With his hands cuffed in special alloy shackles and two battle robots and two Destroyer robots behind him, Anakin said stiffly, knowing that he had been completely defeated.
"Really?"
"But alas, no one can save you, not even the Second Republic Army!"
The former 'Great Republic Army' may be fine, but Count Dooku is sure that they and that powerful woman, Nova, are no longer in this galaxy, and their only contact is in Naboo, which should have been occupied and destroyed by the trade alliance's robot army, right?
So, now he didn't feel anything to worry about, and thought that after gaining the official membership of the Trade Alliance, maybe he could try to directly raid Coruscant and replace him before that teacher of his fully gained the full power of the Galactic Republic?
“……”
"Teacher, what are you going to do with Anakin and Obi-Wan?"
For Padme, although Quigangin really wanted to save the other party, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the entire galaxy and the republic...... However, for the sake of his two apprentices, he still planned to fight for it a little.
"Humph!"
"Tomorrow, I'll give you one last chance to persuade, and if it doesn't work, then don't waste time!"
"Quigang Kim, we don't have time, you can think about it yourself!!"
With that, Count Dooku waved his hand and let the battle robots take Anakin to prison before he put away his lightsaber, gave a word of advice to Quigang King, and then turned around and left.
"Huh!?"
"This, this ......"
Quigon King looked a little overwhelmed, and could only watch as the robots escorted Anakin away.
Although he didn't have a lot of time teaching Anakin, after all, the other party was brought out by himself from Tatooine, and he still watched the other party grow up, plus the other party was still his apprentice, so in the eyes of Quigang King, he couldn't bear to watch them die here.
However, the specific way to do it can only wait for tomorrow......
