Blue Waters: episode #13 Clone Wars
Previously: Obi-Wan went to go find out about these mysterious battle ships�and finds out about the clones. They have powerful weapons, but they�re quite stupid�stupider than the Maurders themselves, which is pretty low. Obi-Wan reports his findings to both the Jedi Council and to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He tells Palpatine more than just that�a little about Anakin, too.
�I�d better go get Anakin and inform him about this whole mess.� At the same time, Anakin was living at the Skywalker homestead. Even though he had only lived there a very short time, a couple of days, it was very clear to Anakin that Summoner resented him. Their personalities really clashed. Rhun didn�t get along with Anakin either. Obi-Wan had left Anakin there because Anakin had told him it would be all right. Rhun was setting up some equipment�Anakin came over to help. �You�re doing that wrong,� says Anakin. �How would you know? I don�t appreciate you telling me that I�m doing something wrong when I�m older than you, and I know more. I�m smarter than you, Anakin, so get lost.� �You are not.� �Shut-up.� �Make me.� Rhun came after Anakin and tried to kick him, but Anakin reacted faster and grabbed the leg and pushed Rhun over. Rhun was bulging with muscles, and Anakin was little�but he was strong. Owen had a small clash with Anakin�but tit wasn�t bad. Summoner basically could not stand Anakin. Anakin was nothing like him. Summoner was a Maurder�and Anakin was a Jedi-well almost one. Summoner could have become a Jedi himself, if he had had the interest. Owen was focused on farming�getting the most out of what he could of the farm. Summoner didn�t really care about the farm, but he did the work. Rhun also did work, but just enough to get by. Anakin�s work was very thorough, although it was obvious that he didn�t like farming. He was a Jedi-in-training. Owen was hoping that Anakin would stay there instead of go back, although he doubted it. Anakin�s work was very good�a huge help to the farm. Anakin helped out as much as he could under these couple of days. But now matter what he did, he�d end up getting under Rhun and Summoner�s skin. Owen really trusted Anakin, even though they had just met. Suddenly, Owen got a call form his wife. �Owen, my dear. I had the baby. It�s a boy.� �What should we name it?� �How about Gryvonbarf?� �Good idea.� Just after they had finished up, Summoner got a notice to report to Anuvuin immediately for �The Plan�. So he said good-bye to his 3 children, leaving Tatooine for good for the purpose of living there. The property was then entrusted to Owen, since he knew more about it. Rhun got mad�he wanted his own farm, so he moved to Dantooine. Then Obi-Wan came with a draft for both Anakin and Owen. Back to Palpatine. After Obi-Wan had left him alone, Palpatine looks at the shut door that Obi-Wan had just left through. �Well, this stinks. Now there�s something else in the way, why couldn�t the stupid Maurders just�wait a minute�this may be just what I need. With the Jedi�s focus on this, I can rapidly advance with my plans. (He nods) yes, this will just have to do�� (And Palpatine forms a plan.)�Then calls a special Senate meeting. �As you all know, there are Maurder battleships roaming the galaxy. I have just heard additional information. The Maurder�s ships have extremely powerful weapons and they have excellent armor. They have an army made up of clones. For this reason, I�m declaring war on the Maurders�The Clone Wars. Because of our situation, I feel that it is necessary for new people in the high office positions. I am appointing Tarkin, (and he lists other future Imperial officers). Thank you. There is one other point I would like to make. They have a huge army�we�re going to need a lot of people. I�m going to have to start a draft, especially on force-sensitive people. The Maurders have weak minds, and I�ve been informed that mind control works well on them. One more thing, I am appointing Obi-Wan Kenobi as general, since he is the one that learned most of the information. Any objections to this?� No one felt they could object, so Palpatine closed the meeting, and the Clone Wars had officially started. Now, next time�back to Anakin.
Until next time! back to main page episode 14
