Chapter 4: Day 1 - Training Begins and Ends

Karin wasn’t sure what Mr Urahara had in store for her training. But she certainly didn’t think that dying had anything to do with it. He was only up to step two in the training and as soon as she blinked half a blade was protruding from her stomach. Feverishly warm blood steadily streamed out of the wound. That was the first thing she felt; the sticky red liquid. Then it was the pain jolting up her spine, before she crumpled to the ground. She lay there a while starting to comprehend what her new teacher had done.

 “W-why with the blade a-and the…” She barely whispered. It was a pathetic attempt and if she had enough energy she would feel embarrassed.

 “I told you before. This part of the training is the most crucial. Your brother did it a little differently but as you know he was a special case. When your body starts giving up you should be able to find a place between your mind in this world and your mind in the spirit world. Find your powers there,” He answered with such a casual tone you would’ve thought he was ordering take-away.

 Karin tried to move her head to look up at him. As soon as she met his eyes she gave him a bitter glare. “I don’t find them… I die,” she guessed.

 Mr Urahara crouched down to her level.

“Oh it’s not just you who will die. My life depends on your success as well Ms Kurosaki.” She was about to argue when she stopped herself, mouth agape. If I die here because of this then… “Yes Karin. Your brother is a smart and easy to anger boy. If you’re found killed, soon after he, your family and his friends will seek out my head. So I wish you good luck. You and I both need it.” He tipped his hat to her and walked off to his chair and book.

 I wish we were back at step one, Karin thought dryly. At least that involved less pain and a better chance of survival. Dodging a little girl’s superhuman punches seemed like a simple enough goal. Now she had no idea what she had to do. She wondered what Mr Urahara had meant about Ichigo being a “special case”. Maybe he needed the beginners level because he was such a hothead. But then again ,Mr Urahara had just described him as ‘smart’.

 Maybe Karin had to be a bit more flexible with her views of Ichigo. Besides he’d kept his Soul Reaper secret for quite a while… and he had somehow managed to survive his training. So I have to be open minded and sharp in this step, she deducted. Learn from others trials’…

 Karin was pulled away from her thoughts by a new pain forming in her chest. She inched her head to look down at herself. See through chains were forming near her heart. Her muscles ran ahead of her mind process and she painfully rolled over to see her body in the corner of the rocky landscape. The chains were becoming less solid near her real body. She looked back and forth with panic. Her sight began to blur, her limbs felt heavy and the pain from the stab wound had gone numb.

 “Looks like it’s happening,” Mr Urahara commented from his chair. “Make sure you find them okay? I’d like to live a couple of decades longer.”

 His voice echoed to behind her eyelids. Her mind fell out of consciousness and death hung in the air, ready to claim it’s next soul.

Ahsoka and Luke with Vader

I’ve only just noticed... the last thing Ahsoka says to Vader/ Anakin

“I won’t leave you; not this time”

... and when Vader is dying what does Luke say to him?

“Father, I won’t leave you”

IS ANYBODY ELSE NOT OK ANYMORE?!?

My OC (again, this will be a common occurrence here) Keya Shaen and Galen Merak from the Force Unleashed along with the process of making it (hurrah) :)

Music to the season 2 finale in Star Wars Rebels “It’s Over Now” could actually also go with where we leave Ahsoka, Rex, the clone army after order 66, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan heck even Hondo, the bounty hunters etc.in the would be series finale to The Clone Wars

Imagine these images to the song:

Previous scene finishes

At about 0:13 we see a long shot of the ruins of Mandalore from the siege but we are panning to a crowd gathered around the old Palace of the Duchess. It’s a new day on Mandalore

When music swells at 0:30 we see Bo Katan standing tall as the new appointed leader of Mandalore (Shots of her, her overlooking the crowd)

At about 0:38 we pan over to a long shot of a republic clone base which is also in ruin. Troopers lay dead on the ground whilst other troopers rush to obey their orders and the flickering of a lightsaber in the distance disappears.

0:45 Close up of Rex looking around at his brothers in a panic confused, sad and scared at what they have done

0:52 in the distance we see long shot of Wolfie through racing troopers 0:55  mid shot Wolfie gazes at his blaster and then to Rex hopelessly. He knows and we know what he’s done

0:58 mid shot Rex takes a breath and races over toward him and a fighter away from the camp to get them out of there

1:04 Close up Darth Maul walking on some unknown planet suddenly shudders and looks over his shoulder. He senses a newly born Sith lord

1:08 we see the legs of the newly created Darth Vader and panning up to his helmet overlooking the stars 1:16  Obi Wan night time on Tatooine looks up at them with his hood up

1:21 we see Hondo and his crew drinking with bounty hunters like Embo, Bosk, Boba and Sugi in a cantina somewhere, seemingly oblivious to what’s happened in the universe

1:25 Padme’s funeral. Long shot we see Bail, Chu chi and Lux watching her from the march 1:29 Mid shot Bail’s hand rests on Lux’s shoulder whilst Chu chi stands strong

1:32 we watch side on from a top of a mountain (at a ledge) overlooking the vast Ryloth plains, we see Ahsoka on the back of a giant wolf like creature. She’s looks conflicted after sensing of her master and the Jedi order’s passing

1:36 We see her back as she stares up at the Republic cruisers in the sky preparing to land. They are no longer republic cruisers though. They are Star Destroyers

1:40 She looks back at Ryloth now with determination and resilience in her eyes

1:43 the wolf races up to the edge of the ledge and leaps off showing Ahsoka seemingly going to face off against a dozen Star Destroyers above the horizon. She is on the Horizon, Rytloth is below her

1:51 cut to black

I don’t really know how to do these images justice by myself so writing it down is a lot easier. 

Btw I know that Wolfie got his chip out but he always seemed so anxious to me and since he was such a “solider” I wasn’t sure what would make him take out his chip. And I always wanted to see how these clones after they carried out order 66 would react. Killing your general and friend and potentially children? That’d leave major mental and emotional scars. So I thought what if they got Wolfie’s chip removed after he’d done it. It was a depressingly interesting concept to me.
