BOOK 1: CLONE WARS

GREAT BEGINNINGS PART 4

An hour passed as Thomas and Bruce told their respective stories, the sun was slowly setting and night was approaching. Bruce was supposed to leave for the Jedi Temple today, but his parents are becoming more and more reluctant to let him go.

"You cant be serious Alfred, he just woke up and you want us too send him away! " Martha screamed at the droid, she had always been the more protective of the two parents.

"Mistress Martha, Bruce's power's could get out of control again, the farther he is from Earth the safer he will be, we already have an alibi for him and no one will suspect a thing. "

Thomas sat on the edge of an open window, looking onto the Manor grounds, his thoughts were milesaway, while his droid and wife were arguing he thought about the days when Bruce was just a little boy, happy and without a care in the world, now he was being sent away to god knows where and for a very long time.

Bruce stood up from the chair and interrupted Martha and Alfred. "Mom! I know you mean well but you need to think about this, if this power of my turns up again I could kill some one and then we are all going to bescrewd! "

"You dont know that it will happen again. "

"We cant take that chance mom, you cant keep me locked up in this giant mansion for the rest of my life.... " His anger subsided, he lowered his head, then looked back at his mom. "You have to let me go. "

Those words felt like knives that were running into her heart, she wanted so desperately to protect her son from this, but then she remembered the one person who didn't speak up.

"Thomas, you need to back me up on this, you cant let him go, not yet. " Tears were in her eyes but she tried not to cry.

The aging master of the Wayne family walked up to his son and put his arm on the boys shoulder.

"If you do this Bruce, there is no coming back, we wont see you, we wont hear from you and you will need to grow up, even with Alfred there, you need to learn how to survive and fast, there is a war going on there and you're going to be on the frontlines, are you sure you're ready for that?

Bruce looked directly into his fathers eye, the man wasn't joking and Bruce knew it, he took a deep breath before finally answering. "Yes, I am. " Thomas simply nodded and placed his hand around Martha's neck, he whispered something to Alfred and left the room.

"Master Bruce, we need to pack your things, you'll be leaving within the hour. " Alfred and Bruce exited the room and took the stairs up to Bruce's room.

He packed his clothes with Alfred assisting him, time felt like it was slowing down, it seemed like he was in his room for an eternity when Alfred brought him back down to Earth.

"Sir.... its time to leave, the car is waiting for us down there. " Bruce exited his room, he turned of the lights and closed the door. As e walked down the stairs and exited the mansion, glimpses of his childhood flashed in his eyes, he reached the gates of it and found his parents standing there waiting for him.

"My little boy, please, come back to me. " Martha hugged her son not even trying to hold back her tears.

Thomas walked up to Bruce and handed him a photo, it was a photo of their trip to Illium, it was the first time he had left Earth and spent his entire summer there, he even had his first crush and break up there.

"Stay safe. " Thomas whispered into Bruce's ear, his son only nodded and smiled back at him, as he entered the car and it slowly went farther and farther from the mansion, Bruce took one last good look at his parents and home, little did he know it would be years before he would see either again.....

Bruce didn't say a word during the drive, he simply watched from the window the outisde world, he didn'tknow who he was meeting or where, but he honestly didn't care, all he wanted was to leave Earth, he didn'tbelieve Udina would just allow him to escape.

"Master Bruce, were arriving at the rendezvous point, just let me do the talking and everything should be fine. " Bruce simply nodded at him, he didn't even turn his gaze from the window.

The car landed on a large rooftop, Bruce saw a strange ship standing on the landing pad of it, it clearlywasn't from around here, its bulky design was a dead give away when most cars in the MWG were small and slick, it also had several pieces of military grade weaponry on it.

Alfred came out of the car first he quickly made his way to the center of the roof top, Bruce on the other hand was much slower, he carefully surveyed his surroundings, he also heard people sneaking around him, probably waiting in ambush if things went bad.

A cloaked figure approached the droid, it was clearly a female considering he could see part of her face, her skin was definitely orange indicating she wasn't human, he could also see white tattoos on the each side of her lips and her blue eyes were clearly visible even in the darkness. They're eyes met for a split second before Bruce turned away to see a sniper aiming at him from a nearby roof top.

"Are you sure you weren't followed? "

"Quite sure, the master has only awakened up a few hours ago and he may still be a little out of it, but I assure you he is quite ready for the journey. "

"I dont mean to interrupt, but you guys really need to work on your ambushes, I already know where all you guys are and trust me, if a teenager like me can figure you out, there's no way you could take on anyonewho's a real danger. "

The soldiers slowly started whispering to each other, they're cover was completely blown now. The cloaked girl gave them a hand gesture as a sign they could come out of the shadows. The soldiers wore white body armor that completely covered them from head to toe, they had long black riffles on their backs with one of them having dual blasters and blue markings on his helmet and shoulder pad.

"Huh, I didn't think you'd bring a dozen soldiers just to escort me to the Jedi Temple. "

The cloaked girl came up to him and took of the upper part of her cloak, it revealed a girl about his age, she had three head-tails, two running down the sides of her face ending at her shoulders with the third one running down the back of her neck.

She had two horns at the top of her head with a headdress in between them and white tattoos above her eyes, a replacement for eyebrows and two small square tattoos above those. She extended her hand to Bruce.

"My names Ahsoka Tano, its a pleasure to meet you mister Wayne. "

Bruce simply smiled at the girl and shook her hand, something told him they were going to get along just fine.
