18 Apprenticeship 6

It's been about two months since I got a master and I didn't waste a single second of it... unless I was drinking with Rael but that still counts as toxin resistance training.

During that time I learn a few new things from Aayla, One of them being illusion techniques. I'm still going for the force smoke technique but I'm not skill enough at it yet. The main problem is finding a way to make the opponents see more smoke than there actually is the shaping of the smoke into things was actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

She tried to teach me force cloak but it wasn't for happening, it didn't matter how she explained it the force just didn't work in the way I wanted it to, so instead of learning cloak I learned stealth after I realised I wasn't getting anywhere with force cloak. Aayla said I should at least learn one basic stealth technique since I'll probably need one for when we go on missions.

As much as I'd like for everything to be as easy as swinging your saber around, I can't argue with that logic. To be honest a stealth technique would be quality for hiding in the area cause fuck staying in that final circle. What if Dooku never stopped the droids they'd all be dead as fuck, no chance am I risking it. As soon as shit starts to go down hill I'm bringing Aayla and hiding till the clones come, I don't want to end up as one of the 179 jedi that died.

Another thing I've learned is that my Master's pretty cool all things considered, you can have a decent banter with her as long as your not in the middle of learning something from her. She gets pretty serious when it comes to teaching. If I don't die at Genosis I'll try convince her to come out for a drink.

She's quality at teaching as well, she got my form 3 and 4 up to snuff all the while teaching me that stealth skills, and it's only been less than 2 months.

My Starfighter came a week ago as well, took the bad boy out for a spin and I must say, it's pretty fun flying about even if I haven't tried it in space yet. Once I came I got to work on pimping the fuck out it. New paint job, speakers, beer dispenser. Well not the last one yet but I'm working on it, since it needs to be hidden it's taking more time to build it.

Right now It's painted blue, red and white, with and orange interior so I can safely stay it's the staunchest ship in the sector. It's probably going to get busted before the end of the clone wars so I'm not too bothered about upgrading it, not as if the ship has much to upgrade, it's quite the nifty thing.

The only thing I could think about changing is upgrading the sub-light engines or sticking a warhead launcher on it, but I've got better things to use my credits for, like saving up to buy a club down in the entertainment district.

On that note not long ago I tried to find some info on Ros Lai, since she'd be the best choice for running the club. She's got a decent enough moral compass that she wouldn't betray me and let's be honest having a sexy owner's going to attract more customers.

Right now though everyone in the jedi temples went mad since Mace Windu said he's putting a strike team together. Don't know why their so excited, do none of them realise they're literally trying to fight an entire Colosseum of genosians, plus a few million droids.

What fucking part of that makes these cunts excited. Since I came here I always knew that the jedi were arrogant behind their humble front but seeing this in person is something else. I've become more arrogant since I came here but no where near enough to think that I could do the shite these cunts are planning, it's just plain suicide.

"Fuck this shit man" I say while taking a tan of jet juice from the flask on my belt.

"What's the problem Master Lycan I don't recall ever seeing you this worried before" Wires said as he stood stoically next to the door of my room.

What's not the problem more like "Wires I know your not a tactical droid or anything but what's your take on how many jedi will make it back" I ask my trusty accomplice.

Computing an answer for a second, "To my calculations, 99% of the jedi strike team would perish on Genosis" Wires said in a neutral tone.

I winced at this answer, if I knew yoda wasn't planning on bringing the clones there's no way you'd catch me near this mission. The only reason I'm going's because of good cunts like Rael, Aayla and a few others. I don't want them dying from making daft decisions in the heat of the moment. I'm telling you as soon as B-2 droids come out I'm getting the fuck out of the firing line till the clones arrive with those LAAT's and start laser beaming the droids to fuck.

"Wires help me get this fucking armour on" I asked as I was attempting and failing to get the durasteel plates on my back. The armour I've got on me just now is some basic durasteel plating on my torso legs and forearms. It's the best I could do while on Coruscant with blowing the rest of my credits on the one thing.

Overall it should be good enough to resist a few blaster shots, as long as they're not from point blank range.

Eventually getting the plating on my back I start making my final preparations before I meet up with my master and rest of the strike team. As I was double checking that I had everything someone let themselves into my room.

Turning around I saw Wires greeting the two newcomers Laila, and Ashoka.

"How's it feel going on a mission already" Ashoka asks me with a curious look in her eyes.

Putting my robe back on I tell her "Honestly, I'm due to start shitting bricks at this point. Have you not heard what the intel said, there could be millions of droids waiting for us there never mind all the genosians".

If you ask me I just don't think it's worth it, neither does it make much sense. If you were going to launch an assault anyway, you might as well have tried to stall for time instead of fighting before everyone arrived.

Instead of Mace failing to kill both Jango and Dooku, he might as well have stalled with something for a few minutes till the clones arrived. I think it would've worked fine since Dooku was quite the chatter box.

"We heard, they didn't exactly make the information private" Laila says, tapping her fingers on her arm she said "Do you think they'll be fine".

"Fuck no, they've not even got a plan or nothing. They're basically going in hoping for a surrender". Fuck every time I think about the Jedi's antics I get more nervous about going,

While I take another sip of liquid courage Ashoka chimes in "Wouldn't it work though, most of the time the jedi don't need to fight. The situation normally fixes itself when they realise there's a jedi at the scene, never mind when there's more than 200 of them".

Some one's in for a shock. "Normally the problem they're solving doesn't involve a few million battle droids" I explain to her, after I finished I got a call from my holoprojector basically telling the jedi to hurry the fuck up.

Triple checking I had everything I toss Laila my flask and say "Enjoy yourself with that, keep it as an early gift for becoming a padawan" earning a stupendous look from Ashoka and forced smile from Laila I head for the door.

Pausing before I leave, I spin around and take flasks from 3 different places in my room before strapping them onto my belt and then left like nothing even happened. Trust me when I say I'll need a few drinks after this battle.
