Chapter 309: Anakin's Worries
"Say it, Fett. Even if you keep everything a secret they would still kill you because you\'re a liability for them now." Alexander said.
Jango couldn\'t see a way out of this without spilling the beans: "I was initially hired by the Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas. The pay was good so I saw no harm. But then something happened to him and my employer changed to someone by the name Tyranus.
"Still, they paid me well so I didn\'t ask. But I had my ways of gathering intel. I later found out that this Tyranus is none other than Count Dooku who is also the Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems."
Obi-Wan was confused, "Does that mean that this army of clones is for the Separatists now?"
Jango denied, "I don\'t think so. I may not know too much but I at least know that these clones are programmed to only serve the Republic. I don\'t know about any other conspiracies. It\'s not good for business to put your noses where they don\'t belong."
Alexander released him but also confined him to a room. He was going to deal with him later.
"So, Jedi Master Obi-Wan. What are you going to do now?" Alexander asked.
"I must go back to Coruscant now. I can smell a major plot here. Anakin let\'s go." He instinctively called for him.Then he remembered that Anakin was leaving the order, he looked at Alexander with suspicion and said, "I know you are leaving the order but you still have to be present in front of the Jedi Council to officially resign."
"Ah, you can go, Obi-Wan. I will be coming to Coruscant to meet the council myself. Don\'t worry." Alexander assured him.
Obi-Wan didn\'t bicker anymore and silently left. Alexander then looked back at his group. You guys go back to the ship, Master Ragnarok will teach you something there."
Anakin and Ahsoka realized that he must have something important to do so they silently left. It was a rule of Neutral Ones not to meddle in each other\'s business as long as it was not a danger to you.
Alexander alone went to the Prime Minister of Kamino, Lama Su, and talked to him.
"I hope you were happy with the inspection of our merchandise." Prime Minister Lama said. Lama still thought that Alexander was a high ranking Jedi and had very high authority in the Republic.
"Yes yes, very good. But I have another task for you. I noticed the 150 contingency orders you have installed in them. I want you to change one of those orders." He demanded.
Prime minister Lama was more of a salesman than a politician so he was happy as long as he was getting paid, "That is easily possible. What do you want to change?"
"I am the strongest Jedi in the Galaxy at the moment and if by chance the Republic falls into wrong hands then these Troopers will be used for committing crimes.
"So, I want you to change the function of Order 66. Now, If it is initiated then the command of all the Clone Troopers will fall under my hand and they will listen to only my orders. I also want you to keep this change a secret as it doesn\'t put the Republic in danger. In order to initiate Order 66, you need the permission of the senate so it will likely never happen. I will also pay you a lot more for doing this," Alexander said, and used a bit of his magic to make sure that Lama doesn\'t rat him out too soon.
Kaminoans were xenophobic people but they maintained a polite face to the outsiders. But still considered other species inferior none the less. Cloning was not supposed to be a good thing as what they were doing was technically slavery, but the Republic allowed it. So, Alexander had no sympathy for them.
"Of course, Grandmaster Universe. We would be delighted to do this for you and the extra payment is much appreciated. When do you need delivery?" Prime Minister asked.
"Make the changes as soon as possible and about the delivery. Well, it\'s on the Republic to decide." Alexander replied.
"Then it was a pleasure working with you. Thank you."
After the meeting, Alexander went to Jango Fett. "You are a bounty hunter and you have committed many crimes, for this, I can kill you if I want. But I can give you a chance to redeem your life. If you succeed then I will make you so rich that you will never have to work another day."
His proposal was too interesting for Jango, "What\'s the job and the pay?"
"You go to Count Dooku, act like you always do. Gather all the proof against him and about what he is planning. The bigger the intel, the better. Your standard payment will be 5 billion but if you do well then I can increase it to 10 billion. What will it be now?" Alexander asked,
"And what if I decide to betray?" Jango asked.
Alexander suddenly moved forward and touched his forehead with the tip of his index finger, "Then, I can grant you all these."
Jango Fett saw himself die in a million ways in just 3 seconds. His heartbeat increased and his face became red with the sudden change of his mental state.
He breathed heavily. "I-I won\'t betray you. I promise."
"You better," Alexander said coldly and left him. He had also secretly put a tracker chip on him.
Once he confirmed that Order 66 was re-written he went back to his ship.
...
♫You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin\'
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you...♫
"Eeee aaaa eee aaa..."
"Wohooo... Grandpa Rag, this drink is so awesome." Ahsoka shouted.
Alexander came to an ongoing party on his ship. Loud music was playing, Ragnarok was making drinks, Ahsoka and Anakin were drinking and dancing. Yoda Junior was also rocking on his hovering cradle while trying to sing.
~What was I expecting leaving them under his care? Forget the dark side, he\'d end up turning them into alcoholics.~ Alexander sighed.
But honestly, he was also tired.
"Ehem... what is going on here?" Alexander angrily spoke.
The music stopped and everyone looked at him. Ahsoka and Anakin hid their glasses. Yoda Junior copied them and hid his small milk bottle.
Ragnarok came forward to ease the tension, "Haha, Alex, I was just giving them a few relaxing moments before we started."
*BAM*
Alexander knocked Ragnarok on his head and angrily roared, "How dare you start without me?"
Ragnarok rubbed his head, "Sorry, ma... wait. WHAT?"
Then suddenly the music continued.
♫We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you♫
Alexander laughingly walked to the bar and poured him a drink.
"Hahaha, you got bamboozled." He mocked them.
"What are you guys looking at? Dance all you want. Being a Jedi ain\'t easy. You gotta release that frustration out every once in a while. What better way than dancing." He said.
"Yessss..." Ahsoka exclaimed and danced without any worries. Ragnarok picked Yoda Junior and joined her too.
On the other hand, Anakin walked beside Alexander and took a seat. Alexander poured a drink for him and asked, "So, what is troubling my student?"
"I see visions, master. Premonitions probably." Anakin muttered in a conflicting voice.
"What is the nature of these visions?" Alexander inquired.
"They are of pain, suffering, death..."
"Are they about you or someone you know?" He asked further.
"Someone... close to me," Anakin hesitantly answered.
Alexander calmly put one hand on Anakin\'s shoulder. "You mean your mother and the woman you love?"
He saw Anakin getting uneasy.
"It is okay to speak your mind, child. There is no cowardice in fearing something. After all, humility is what makes us all humans." He quoted.
Anakin felt a bit better hearing his words, he had never thought there he would meet someone who seemed wiser and also goofier than Yoda.
"Master, I saw this vision about the cruel death of my mother and now also about the death of Padme at childbirth," Anakin confessed.
"Then do what your heart says, not what your mind says. Force can be very confusing sometimes. It already knows about our past and future and only a few lucky ones have the ability to see it.
"The best way to save those you see dying is to harness the power of future sight and be able to see what causes their death and not just the moment of death. When you saw your mother\'s death, you did not go to see her while you should have, maybe you not going to see her would have proven fatal to her, but thankfully I was there. Now, when you see the death of Padme, you should do the opposite of what immediately came to your mind. Tell me, what did you think of doing?" Alexander asked.
"I thought of going against the order. I don\'t know why I would do that but I did think that." Anakin answered.
"Then you have already altered your fate by just coming to me. As long as you are with me, there won\'t be a reason to go against the order. Besides, remember Anakin, no matter how harsh things get, you can always come to your old master and I will help.
"The Neutral Ones may not put their noses in each other\'s business but we do look out for each other." Alexander lectured.
Anakin was truly feeling better now. Knowing that he had someone who would help him if things went bad was a great reliever.
"Now, Anakin. Let\'s go and dance. After that, I will teach you how to control your future sight and how you can utilize it in fights." He proposed and dragged him to the dance floor.
