Fata Morgana duology

I will make Darth Morgana famous in her own her right in fanfic history with the Fata Morgana Duology (eventually to be posted on Fanfiction.net) I've decided to post a test entry, and with good reviews I'll post more of my story before turning into a book.

Here goes

'Have you ever felt like you were being watched?'

Obi-wan Kenobi jotted those words down on a scroll he would recopy later. It was his custom to convert scrolls to chips, although it was tedious.

'I know it is stupid and childish to think of it, but lately I've been paranoid. I hope it doesn't worry Anakin too much. He's got too much to worry about anyway, with her ladyship held by the Fetts and Shmi's disappearance...'

 

Ooooooooooohhhh! Creepy! *light turns off* AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

 

The familiar scuff of boots interrupted his writing as his apprentice entered the commanders' rooms in the barracks.
"Master, Bail's hollering for you. Are you okay?" stated Anakin, walking over to Obi-wan. He met Anakin's dark blue gaze and replied "I'm fine. I guess I should get to training some of the troops." He rolled up the scroll and got up off the cot. "Master, this is the second time you've been late training the Jedi troops. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, don't worry about me. Worry about her Ladyship! Have you picked a search party yet?" "Um, I will after today's group training." "May the Force be with us, in training and in battle." As Obi-wan and Anakin left, Obi couldn't stop thinking about colors...
//Red is Anger, Black is Hate, and White is Hope.... //

'My Master tells me Kenobi is too old for me. What he tells me is a bunch of poodoo, in my opinion. When I use my powers, Kenobi will be under my spell with no turning back.'

 

Darth Morgana put her pink-inked pen down on her desk. She clanked over to the window of the EBONY AND JADE to watch her ship's slow orbit over Concord Dawn. The army of Jango Fetts would soon crush the Republic's troop of Jedi Knights, and her Master would rule the galaxy with the Dark Side and an iron hand. But to get Skywalker, as his next student would mean her demise. "We are always two, Morgana Arcadia. A master and apprentice," old Sidious always told her during Dueling 1. Morgana Arcadia. Yes, she had been born Arcadia Jade Sarin, daughter of Kameir Sarin and Charala Jade Sing; Darth Maul and Charal the Huntress. But when Jinn and Kenobi killed her father when she was seven, she vowed vengeance. Now, at seventeen, as Darth Morgana LeFay, she had dedicated her life to ruining the Republic and the Jedi. Skywalker's mother, instrumental to her son's eventual turn, was stashed with the Fetts until the Republic forces stormed Jango's palace. Morgana was on first name terms with the assassin-general since they were current joint commanders of an army of clones of him but had to deal with his overzealousness for bloodshed and verbal sexual harassment from him. She sat at her desk once more.

'I don't blame Fett the Elder for looking for another mother for his sons, but we are just military associates. Besides, my heart and my body belong to a Jedi, not a Bounty Hunter...'
(I'm scaring people off again, aren't I?)

 

WAIT ONE BLOODY SECOND!

Fata Morgana means "mirage," in Ukrainian. Was this intentional?

 

You'll see, Bubba..

 

Ooooh, I can't wait!

 

Each duo had done very well with learning Defensive Stance and (at Anakin's whim), Headbutt, but many techniques needed more time to be taught. The commanders and troops retired to their rooms, and Anakin decided to train by himself for awhile. Obi-wan sat at his desk, trying to read. // I've got that cursed song parody Anakin was singing stuck in my head! //, He thought as he covered his face with hands. "Freak it!" "Anakin! Watch your language!" "The stupid remote blasted me again!" "When in doubt, let your instincts guide you." "What's that supposed to mean?" Anakin walked over to set of desks where Bail and Obi-wan usually plotted the next strategy. "Master: you, Master Windu, Master Yoda, Mistress Gallia and I will go rescue Amidala and my mom later this week." "Just putting Fett's lair under siege will take most of the week." "I'm gonna talk to Bail about rounding up the first force. 'Bye, Master. I'll be back." "And may it be with us!"

'We shall begin the siege when Bail feels like it. He has more influence than I do, it seems. Perhaps it is so because I lower myself to the level of the infantry by fighting alongside them. Or maybe it's the Chancellor. We haven't gotten any reports from the Senate lately. I suppose Bail knows what's wrong. Why, then, do I have bad feelings?'

 

Two cloaked figures walked along the hallways of General Fett's palace, The Burrow. A trio of Mandalorian guards scattered from the door to the darkened throne room, which the duo entered. A tall, brooding figure in silvery armor was stationed in a throne by the window, which was the only vessel of light to be seen. "Hello, Your Lordship." echoed a smooth voice whose slightly British diction had been improved by years of debate. "Greetings, Lord Sidious. And Miss Sarin."

'Jango annoys the he-double hockey sticks out of me when he's so familiar. He knows better than not to call me Morgana. He's mad because I know his motives, or maybe it's something else.'

 

More, more, more!


I hope we have a fellow Ukrainian in these boards.

 

"General, before we discuss the defense of The Burrow, I'd like to speak to you in the hall." The small cloaked figure of the warrior woman and the coruscating form of the middle-aged bounty hunter strolled down the same hall, which she and her master had used to enter the palace. "Jango, we are business partners, not lovers." "Why do you have to remind me every time we meet?" "Because EVERY time you put pleasure before business and take me aside to kiss me or to say I have a cute behind." "Why did YOU take ME aside?" "To say it has to stop! I cannot work with you if you continue to make me suffer as you have from the start of this deuced war!" "You cannot disguise your feelings, Arcadia."

'Self-appointed General Fett is laboring under the delusion that I care about him. Not in the way he thinks of. I respect him but it's becoming difficult to. I hope we get down to business soon.'

 

Really cool that the Fetts make an appearance. Nice work.

 

"Today, noble members of the Jedi Order, we will discuss the infiltration of the palace." stated Mace Windu. The commanders' quarters had been turned into a temporary council chamber. "I say we just siege it. We don't need Bail's consent!" "Master Skywalker!" "How dare you speak to the me like that, Shaft!" "Please, Anakin, Master Windu. Act your ages!" bellowed Obi-wan. "Let's get down to business.", said Ki-Adi Mundi. "Master Kenobi will lead a team to track down the commanders and Anakin's team shall use diversionary tactics to free Lady Naberrie.", continued the Cerean Jedi knight. The door opened, and Bail Antilles Organa, crown prince of Alderaan entered. "What's going on?"
"Hi, there Banal Organa! How are you?" "Anakin, I resent that."

'Anakin has been on bad terms with Bail since they met, but the details are far too delicate to relate without me laughing myself silly. I do respect Bail, but he is a bit pompous. I stay away from such conflicts when I can.'
