May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

Reader mode
I have only one problem with this update: why is HK-47, of all droids, using a blaster rifle on a Jedi? He should know better! At least give him a Sonic or something. :)

Otherwise, awesome as always! Thanks for the update.

Anakin rushed outside to the sight of what seemed to be dozens of Sentinels and other Jedi fighting off what were apparently the rest of Bulq's followers in an all-out battle within the Temple halls, with more and more Jedi rushing in to try and end the fighting that seemed to be constantly moving as Bulq's people tried to disengage. What was obvious thought were the bodies already on the ground; a mixture of people in Sentinel robes and various others - Anakin had no way of telling whether they were corrupted Jedi that were killed in self-defense or-

The image of them fighting in the temple would be so epic and chilling to see.....better than crappy clones.

Truth be told HK did have sonic weapons on hand, but opted to stay with the blaster since Bulq was already disoriented and Anakin was occupying him anyway.

Darra slowly opened her eyes to see the Sentinel standing over her, a blue lightsaber blocking Barriss' own. It almost seemed...familiar...

"Master?"

Without a word, the Sentinel quickly twisted their aim, trying to disarm Barriss. Quickly realizing she was now badly outmatched Barriss disengaged and started to make a break for it only for her pursuer to dart in front of her and block her escape.

In what seemed like only a matter of seconds, Barriss was swiftly disarmed and knocked unconscious by a punch to the face, her body slamming on the ground. The area seemed to go silent for a moment before the Sentinel crouched down in front of Darra, gently offering a hand to help her up.

"...Master Antana...is that really you?" Darra said quietly, not yet reaching out. The Sentinel was still for a moment before taking her hand back, throwing off her hood to reveal a mask over her face. Without a word she took it off as Darra's eyes visibly lit up for a moment as she recognized her one-time Master...before her face fell.

"I...I-I'm sorry, I tried-"

Soara brought Darra into a gentle hug as the sound of footsteps came closer. "It's alright. You did more than anyone would have ever asked of you."

I'm usually the one with encyclopedic knowledge of this quest, but can someone remind me how Saora Antana differs in this quest from canon? Her padawan survives, albeit with life-saving cybernetics, but she somehow switched to become a Sentinel, and Darra apparently hasn't seen or heard from her in a while...?

Great chapter, though. Nice job wrapping everything up, and I loved the HK-47 cameo.

Anakin Quest Negaverse and Palpatine Quest Negaverse both just shit themselves.

First comment = best comment. I hadn't even considered it, but now I desperately want to see the salt. :rofl:

Consider the Jedi's reaction to this. This is far more than just a bomb in the Temple. This is Jedi slaughtering Jedi in their own home. This is the closest thing these people have to family killing each other.

There's basically zero information on what happens to her between Darra's death and her own death during Order 66.

So...I decided to take some creative liberties.

I think it worked out quite well.
 
I like how one of the minions tried to pull the old "If you kill me you become just as bad as me" and Anakin responded by cutting the minion's leg off.
Well...Anakin didn't kill him.

Send out the omake signal! Although I think the salt would be greater in Anakin Quest. Palpatine quest at least knows what kind of enemy we are: Anakin quest is just gradually coming to see what (they think) is the true scope of our capabilities.

It'd be super weird though. Like on the one hand yes Ciaran has more powers than expected but on the other she just bailed his ass out of a Bad End.

So...kind of a mixed bag, there.
 
Forgot the nega quest, just imagine the reaction to people if this was an alt-Clone Wars episode. Hk-47 killing Bulq then flying off. Now you have Ciaran already introduced, Thrawn as a member of her faction and now HK-47 active and a member of her faction! The messageboards would go crazy. We did have one messageboard omake much earlier. I would love to see another for reactions to an episode based on this arc.
 
By the way, excellent update and also glad that this looks to have one or two more to wrap it up and then back to regular turns (as opposed to the Karak Ungor campaign).
 
So I guess all that's left is to wrap up this ark and reveal what we've gained from this incident.
