Tatoonie Prepare For Race and Maul Arrival

4000 words 

The barren desert of Tatooine was suddenly disturbed by the arrival of a menacing ship descending from the sky. As it landed, the ship's ramp lowered, and Darth Maul stepped out, accompanied by an intimidating force. His army consisted of heavily armored Mandalorian bounty hunters and a battalion of Trade Federation droids.

The Mandalorian bounty hunters wore beskar armor, their suits painted in dark, menacing colors. They carried an array of heavy equipment, including blaster rifles, wrist rockets, and jetpacks, ready for any combat situation.

The Trade Federation droid battalion comprised a mix of B1 battle droids, armed with E-5 blaster rifles, and droidekas, with their impenetrable shield generators and rapid-fire blasters.

Six football-sized probe droids floated out of the ship, heading off in three different directions toward the nearby cities. Maul's eyes glinted with anticipation as he received reports from his Mandalorian bounty hunters.

One of the Mandalorians reported, "Several of our comrades have been killed. This Gojo Satoru... we don't know how he does it. He seems to appear and disappear at will."

Maul remained silent, his mind racing. He recalled the exclusive broadcast he had seen, where Gojo Satoru had made the Viceroy of the Trade Federation kneel. The power displayed was unlike anything Maul had encountered before.

Darth Sidious had warned him about Gojo Satoru, labeling him as a significant threat. Maul had also witnessed firsthand how Gojo could easily destroy Vulture droids with his immense power. The challenge intrigued him, but it also required caution.

Summing up Gojo's abilities, Maul thought to himself, "This warrior can appear and disappear at will, and has destructive energy attacks. He is dangerous, unpredictable, and must be handled with extreme care."

Maul's resolve hardened. He knew this mission would not be easy, but the thrill of the challenge was something he could not resist. The hunt for Gojo Satoru was on, and Maul was determined to confront this powerful adversary head-on.

EXT. MOS ESPA - SLAVE QUARTERS - BACK YARD - DAY

The sun beat down on the dusty yard of the slave quarters as Anakin led the group to a covered area where his podracer was stored. The contraption was a marvel of engineering, especially considering the limited resources Anakin had at his disposal.

Anakin beamed with pride as he introduced his creation. "This is my podracer," he announced, running a hand along the sleek, cobbled-together machine. "I built it myself from parts I scrounged and traded for."

Qui-Gon, Padmé, Shmi, and Jar Jar Binks gathered around, inspecting the podracer with interest. Qui-Gon nodded appreciatively. "Impressive work, Anakin. You've done well with what you had."

Tooru, observing the vehicle, stepped forward with a critical eye. "You've got a solid foundation here, Anakin. But we can make it better."

Anakin's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? What can we do?"

Tooru activated his newfound technology manipulation abilities, his eyes glowing with a hint of Gojo's cursed energy. He placed his hands on the podracer, and instantly, the vehicle began to transform. Components shifted and realigned, new parts materialized, and energy conduits glowed with a brilliant light.

The transformation was astounding. The once cobbled-together machine now gleamed as if brand new. The engines were upgraded to state-of-the-art models, providing significantly more thrust and efficiency. The structural frame was reinforced with lightweight yet durable materials, ensuring better stability and control. The energy conduits now glowed with a steady blue light, indicating optimal energy flow.

An energy shield was added, shimmering faintly around the podracer. This shield would protect Anakin from any debris or attacks during the race, giving him a significant advantage.

Advanced navigation systems and a heads-up display (HUD) were integrated into the control panel, providing Anakin with real-time data on his speed, engine performance, and the positions of other racers. The cooling system was enhanced to prevent overheating during the intense race, ensuring the engines would run at peak performance throughout.

Anakin's jaw dropped in awe. "This is incredible! Thank you, Tooru!"

Qui-Gon, Padmé, Shmi, and Jar Jar Binks looked on in amazement at the upgraded podracer, each of them recognizing the immense improvement.

Padmé smiled. "With this, you're sure to win, Anakin."

Qui-Gon placed a hand on Anakin's shoulder. "Indeed. You've been given a great gift, Anakin. Use it well."

The group shared a moment of excitement and anticipation, the podracer gleaming in the Tatooine sun, ready for the Boonta Eve Classic.

KITSTER (a young boy about Anakin's age), SEEK (a boy of ten), AMEE (a girl of six), and WALD (a Greedo-type, six years old) suddenly arrived, rushing towards Anakin. Their faces were bright with excitement and relief.

"Anakin!" Kitster called out, grinning widely. "We heard you were back!"

Anakin turned to see his friends, his face lighting up with joy. "Kitster! Seek, Amee, Wald! It's so good to see you all!"

"We were freed from our slave lives by Jabba," Seek explained, his voice filled with gratitude. "He told us Gojo Satoru was behind it."

Amee nodded enthusiastically. "He said we wouldn't have to be slaves anymore!"

Anakin, though aware of Gojo's brutal methods, felt a surge of gratitude. "Gojo-sensei's ways might be violent and brutal, but he's successful. I'm really glad he's freeing Tatooine from slavery."

He thought to himself, I'm still gonna call him idiot sensei, though.

The group exchanged looks of admiration and hope, united in their relief and excitement for the future.

Qui-Gon, observing the conversation, interjected, "I think it's time to find out whether Tooru's upgrades have made a difference in the podracer."

"Yes, sir," Anakin responded, his excitement palpable. He climbed into the podracer and started the engine. The vehicle roared to life, its sound now deeper and more powerful, indicating the significant upgrades it had undergone.

Padmé, Shmi, Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, and Anakin's friends watched in awe as the podracer idled majestically. The advanced systems and sleek design were a testament to Tooru's enhancements.

"Wow, Ani! This is amazing!" Kitster exclaimed, eyes wide with admiration.

"Yeah, it looks like a completely different podracer!" Seek added.

Shmi, proud and relieved, smiled at her son. "You're going to do great, Anakin."

As Anakin tested the podracer's capabilities, suddenly, a brilliant pillar of light shot up from the direction of the Lucky Despot, illuminating the sky.

Everyone's attention turned to the spectacle. Qui-Gon furrowed his brow. "What is that?"

Padmé, her eyes wide with astonishment, said, "It must be Gojo."

"Gojo being Gojo," Qui-Gon remarked with a resigned smile, having grown accustomed to the sorcerer's unpredictable nature.

Jar Jar, bewildered and panicked, flailed his arms. "Wha... wha's goin' on? Dat's crazy!"

Anakin, both amused and exasperated, sighed. "That idiot sensei... always making a scene."

The group shared a moment of collective wonder and amusement, the brilliance of Gojo's antics contrasting with the grounded excitement of Anakin's podracer upgrades.

Satisfied, Anakin turned to his friends. "I need to return home now."

Kitster looked puzzled. "Isn't your home here in this hovel?"

Anakin smiled. "My new home is at the Lucky Despot."

His friends were surprised, exchanging glances. Anakin continued, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the Lucky Despot."

His friends eagerly agreed, curious to see Anakin's new home and meet their mysterious savior, Gojo Satoru.

Anakin suddenly realized, "Oh wait, how do we move my po—"

Before he could finish, Tooru pulled out his fun fun cloth and wrapped the podracer, shrinking it down to the size of a small bag.

Anakin and his friends stared in amazement. Qui-Gon, Padmé, and Shmi exchanged glances, each of them silently acknowledging that they were getting used to the strange and wondrous things happening on this journey.

"Well, that's certainly convenient," Qui-Gon remarked, shaking his head with a bemused smile.

Padmé laughed, "At this point, nothing surprises me anymore."

Shmi, smiling at the absurdity, said, "I suppose this is just another day with Gojo and Tooru."

Jar Jar, still flailing, exclaimed, "Meesa never gonna get used to dis!"

Anakin grinned, leading the way with the miniaturized podracer in tow, the excitement of their journey and the promise of new adventures ahead filling the air.

INT. LUCKY DESPOT - MAIN HALL

Anakin and his friends entered the grand main hall of the Lucky Despot, their eyes widening in awe. The interior was lavishly decorated with intricate designs, luxurious furnishings, and gleaming surfaces that reflected the ambient lighting.

Kitster exclaimed, "Wow, Anakin! This place is incredible!"

Seek added, "I can't believe you live here now. It's like a palace!"

Amee's eyes sparkled with wonder. "It's so beautiful!"

Wald nodded in agreement. "I've never seen anything like it."

As they continued to marvel at their surroundings, they noticed Obi-Wan and the twins, Suzunami and Yukinami, approaching them.

Anakin introduced them, "Hey everyone, these are my friends Kitster, Seek, Amee, and Wald."

Obi-Wan greeted them with a warm smile. "Hello there. Welcome to the Lucky Despot."

Suzunami chimed in, "Hi! Nice to meet you all."

Yukinami added, "Welcome! This place is amazing, isn't it?"

Kitster, still in awe, asked, "It sure is. How did Anakin end up here?"

Suzunami replied with a knowing smile, "It's a long story, but let's just say Gojo-sensei had a lot to do with it."

Anakin, glancing around, asked, "Speaking of which, where is the idiot sensei?"

Suzunami pointed upward. "He's on the rooftop—"

Before Suzunami could finish his sentence, Gojo suddenly teleported and appeared in the main hall, causing everyone to jump in surprise.

Padmé shook her head with a smile. "There he is again."

Qui-Gon nodded, accustomed to Gojo's antics. "Just Gojo being Gojo."

Obi-Wan added, "We should be used to this by now."

Shmi chuckled. "Indeed."

Jar Jar, still startled, exclaimed, "Meesa still not used to it!"

Kitster, pointing at Gojo, asked, "Who is that?"

Anakin smirked. "I think I don't need to explain who he is."

As Anakin's friends took a closer look at the silver-haired man, realization dawned on them

Flashback:

The scene shifted to the dark, dingy confines of Jabba's palace. The slaves were huddled together, their faces marked by fear and despair. Jabba the Hutt loomed over them, his massive form casting a shadow across the room.

Jabba, in his guttural voice, announced, "You are free. The one who ensured your freedom is Gojo Satoru."

Seek, trembling, asked, "Can you describe our savior?"

Jabba's eyes narrowed as he recalled the formidable figure. "Silver hair, tall, and eyes... those piercing blue eyes, they see everything. He can appear and disappear at will, and his power is beyond anything you can imagine."

The slaves were in awe, their despair replaced with hope.

End of Flashback

Overcome with gratitude and emotion, they cried tears of joy and knelt before Gojo.

Kitster, teary-eyed, said, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Seek, choking up, added, "You saved us all."

Amee echoed, "We're free because of you."

Wald, his voice trembling, said, "We'll never forget what you've done for us."

Gojo, smiling warmly, gestured for them to rise. "No need for that. Just live your lives freely and happily. That's thanks enough for me."

The group shared a moment of collective wonder and appreciation, the brilliance of Gojo's presence contrasting with the newfound hope and freedom in the eyes of Anakin's friends. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of relief and anticipation for the bright future that lay ahead.

Suddenly, Gojo walked towards a more open and outdoor area of the Lucky Despot.

"Idiot sensei, where are you going?" Anakin called out.

With a smirk, Gojo replied, "Increasing my arsenal."

Qui-Gon, Padmé, and Shmi looked confused. Obi-Wan stepped in to explain. "Gojo has a unique ability called the Ten Shadows Technique, which allows him to summon monster or shikigami that's what he called it , the shikigami come out from his shadow. He's also capable of possessing more than one cursed technique. In Gojo's case, he can wield both the Limitless and the Ten Shadows techniques simultaneously."

The realization dawned on Qui-Gon, Padmé, Shmi, and Anakin. They understood that an ordinary person can typically only possess one cursed technique. The fact that Gojo could master two meant his potential was practically unlimited .

Padmé, her eyes wide with astonishment, remarked, "He really is unlike anyone else."

Qui-Gon nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. His power is beyond anything we've ever encountered."

Shmi, watching Gojo with a mix of awe and gratitude, added, "Anakin is fortunate to have such a powerful ally."

Anakin, his admiration for Gojo growing, thought to himself, Gojo-sensei's potential truly is bottomless.

The twins, Suzunami and Yukinami, added, "Actually, his ability just awakened. That pillar of light you saw? It was because of his crazy experimentation."

The group, more aware than ever of Gojo's rapidly increasing arsenal, exchanged looks of awe and realization.

Padmé whispered, "He's evolving his abilities at an incredible rate."

Qui-Gon said, "This kind of growth... it's almost unheard of."

Anakin felt a deep sense of admiration mixed with determination. "I need to keep up," he thought. "With a teacher like Gojo-sensei, anything is possible."

Gojo stepped into the open area of the Lucky Despot, preparing to summon another shikigami. Unbeknownst to him, the group, along with the twins and Anakin's friends, were watching from a distance, their curiosity piqued.

Gojo noticed their presence but simply grinned, enjoying the attention. He proceeded to summon Nue, intending to add it to his ever-growing arsenal. However, something went awry. The Nue that appeared was massive, its size comparable to a skyscraper, towering over the Lucky Despot.

The reactions from the onlookers were a mix of awe, fear, and disbelief.

Anakin's jaw dropped. "Is that... supposed to be that big?"

Padmé gasped, her hand covering her mouth. "That's enormous!"

Qui-Gon, always composed, couldn't hide his surprise. "Incredible... such power."

Shmi, eyes wide, whispered, "I've never seen anything like it."

Obi-Wan, shaking his head with a mixture of amusement and shock, muttered, "Gojo, what have you done this time?"

Jar Jar, as usual, was in full panic mode. "Oh no! Big monster! Meesa no like this!"

The twins, Suzunami and Yukinami, exchanged glances of amazement. Suzunami, trying to keep his cool, said, "Well, that's certainly... impressive."

Yukinami nodded, her eyes still fixed on the towering Nue. "Gojo-sensei really knows how to make an entrance."

Anakin's friends were frozen, unable to process the sheer scale of what they were seeing. Kitster stammered, "Anakin, your... teacher did this?"

Seek, his eyes wide with awe, said, "I've never seen anything so huge!"

Amee and Wald were equally stunned, clutching each other in fear and excitement.

Anakin, determined, declared, "He is not my teacher yet, and he does not accept me since I don't have cursed energy. But I will prove him wrong. I will reach that idiot sensei's level and have cursed energy too."

Kitster nodded, admiration clear in his eyes. "If anyone can do it, it's you, Anakin."

Seek agreed, his voice filled with respect. "You've always been amazing, Anakin. This will just be another challenge for you."

Amee, still holding onto Wald, said, "We believe in you, Anakin. You can do anything you set your mind to."

Wald added, "We're behind you all the way."

Gojo, observing the chaos he had inadvertently caused, chuckled. "Well, seems like I might have overdone it a bit." He turned to the massive Nue and announced, "Let's make the subjugation commence."

Gojo said, launching himself into the air.

The battle between Gojo and the colossal Nue was intense and awe-inspiring. The sky lit up with bursts of cursed energy as Gojo moved with incredible speed and precision, effortlessly dodging Nue's lightning attacks and countering with his own powerful techniques. The fight was clearly one-sided, with Gojo dominating, but he continually taunted Nue, making the creature more and more enraged.

"Come on, is that all you've got?" Gojo called out with a grin, effortlessly evading another lightning strike. "I thought you'd be more of a challenge!"

Nue roared in fury, unleashing a massive blast of lightning that illuminated the sky. Gojo deftly dodged it, countering with a powerful strike of his own that sent Nue reeling.

"You'll have to do better than that," Gojo taunted, his voice carrying over the battlefield. "I'm not even breaking a sweat!"

Nue's attacks grew more frantic and powerful, but Gojo continued to dominate the fight. He used his Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, creating a gravitational pull that destabilized Nue's movements. Nue responded with a massive discharge of lightning, which Gojo deflected effortlessly. The battle raged on, with Gojo demonstrating his mastery over his abilities, pushing Nue back with each exchange.

The fight reached its climax as Gojo combined his Limitless Cursed Technique with his shadows. The resulting attack overwhelmed Nue, but Gojo wanted to finish with a flourish. Summoning his strength, he unleashed a Black Flash, the concentrated energy striking Nue with such force that it roared one last time before collapsing, defeated.

The sky cleared, and Gojo descended, triumphant.

As the onlookers erupted in cheers and applause, Anakin's determination was further solidified, his resolve to reach Gojo's level burning brighter than ever.

Anakin, eyes wide with amazement, turned to Qui-Gon. "He can fly?"

Qui-Gon nodded, a hint of a smile on his lips. "And he can breathe in space too."

Padmé, still in awe, remarked, "Incredible. There's no limit to what he can do."

Shmi, equally impressed, added, "Anakin, you have a lot to learn from him."

Anakin's friends, still processing the spectacle, were filled with admiration and gratitude.

Kitster said, "I can't believe we just saw that."

Seek added, "Anakin, you're in good hands with him."

Amee and Wald nodded in agreement, their eyes still wide with amazement.

Gojo, noticing the group from a distance, gave a casual wave and a grin. "Just another day in the life of Gojo Satoru," he said with a playful wink.

Gojo landed gracefully on the ground, a satisfied grin on his face from his victory over Nue. He was preparing to summon another shikigami when Obi-Wan, looking thoroughly astonished, stepped forward.

"How many monsters are you planning to summon, Gojo?" Obi-Wan asked, his voice tinged with both curiosity and concern.

Gojo laughed heartily. "I'm going to summon seven more. So, you'd best sit tight and keep watching." With that, he formed a hand seal, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

This time, as Gojo completed the summoning ritual, a multitude of rabbits appeared, filling the entire area. The shikigami known as Rabbit Escape didn't require subjugation, and the cute creatures immediately began hopping around, exploring their new surroundings.

The reactions were swift and varied:

Anakin, eyes wide with delight: "Wow! Look at all the rabbits! They're so cute!"

Kitster, equally amazed: "I've never seen so many rabbits in one place!"

Seek, laughing: "This is incredible! They're everywhere!"

Amee and Wald, clutching each other in excitement: "So cute!"

Padmé, giggling at the unexpected sight: "I wasn't expecting this. They're adorable!"

Shmi, smiling warmly: "Such a contrast to the giant Nue. These are lovely."

Qui-Gon, raising an eyebrow in amused surprise: "Gojo, you never cease to amaze."

Obi-Wan, shaking his head with a smile: "I must admit, I didn't see this one coming."

Jar Jar, flailing his arms in confusion: "Meesa thought there'd be more big monsters, not dis many hoppin' critters!"

The twins, Suzunami and Yukinami, were the most excited, their eyes sparkling as they watched the rabbits.

Suzunami, unable to contain his joy: "This is amazing! Look at all of them!"

Yukinami, clapping her hands together: "They're so cute! Can we keep them, Gojo-sensei?"

Gojo chuckled, enjoying the reactions. "They'll be here for a while, so enjoy their company."

When Gojo was about to summon the third shikigami, Suzunami suddenly said, "Hey, Gojo-sensei, I want to fight the one who hasn't been subjugated yet. Can you bring one up?"

Gojo grinned. "Sure thing, Suzunami." He formed another hand seal, his energy surging. A massive, towering figure began to materialize, casting a shadow over the entire area.

Gojo summoned Max Elephant, a colossal shikigami even larger and more powerful than usual, having been empowered by Sukuna's influence. The creature stood tall, its massive tusks gleaming and its trunk ready to unleash torrents of water. Its presence was overwhelming, and the ground trembled beneath its weight.

Suzunami, without hesitation, leaped toward the massive shikigami. However, his recklessness was met with a powerful blast of water from Max Elephant's trunk, sending him crashing to the ground. The sudden and forceful attack caused immediate concern among the onlookers.

Anakin, eyes wide with worry: "Suzunami!"

Kitster, gasping: "He's in trouble!"

Seek, looking panicked: "We need to help him!"

Amee and Wald, clutching each other in fear: "Is he going to be okay?"

Qui-Gon, stepping forward: "Stay back, everyone. This is part of his training."

Padmé, concern etched on her face: "I hope he can handle this."

Obi-Wan, frowning: "Gojo, are you sure this is a good idea?"

Jar Jar, flailing his arms: "Oh no! Dis is bad! Very bad!"

Gojo, laughing, said, "Too much for ya, Suzunami?" He watched with a mix of amusement and seriousness, ready to intervene if necessary. "Come on, Show me more exciting things !"

Seeing her brother in trouble, Yukinami stepped up and quickly healed him. "What were you thinking? You weren't this reckless when fighting Sensei," she scolded.

Suzunami, recovering, grinned. "That blast of water already gave me the information I need to beat that elephant."

Max Elephant, sensing the challenge, shot another torrent of water, but this time it was different—it was thinner, like piercing streams of blood. Suzunami laughed and grinned , "You just made a death wish." He touched the waterline with his incredible speed even before the tip of piercing water reach his body ( similar to piercing blood) touched his body and activated his Altar, cutting through the water at that instant and reaching the body of the shikigami. Max Elephant split into many different pieces, falling to the ground in a spectacular display.

Gojo laughed heartily. "What the hell! That was amazing, Suzunami!"

Suzunami, catching his breath after the intense battle, stood tall and addressed the group. "My Cursed Technique is named Altar. I've upgraded it to the point where, at the moment you fire or have something like that elephant's water attack, I can cut through it and the effect will reach its user."

The reactions were swift and filled with admiration:

Qui-Gon, his eyes gleaming with amusement, said, "I leave you for a while, and you guys start getting better to the point where you can fight a Jedi. Impressive."

Padmé, clearly impressed, smiled warmly. "That was incredible, Suzunami. Your technique is truly powerful."

Anakin's friends, still in awe, exchanged excited glances. Kitster exclaimed, "Suzunami, that was amazing! You're so strong!"

Seek nodded vigorously. "I can't believe you did that. You're like a real hero!"

Amee and Wald, their eyes wide with admiration, added, "We want to be like you when we grow up!"

Obi-Wan, shaking his head with a mix of respect and amusement, said, "You continue to surprise us, Suzunami. Well done."

Jar Jar, his usual flailing replaced with genuine awe, muttered, "Dis guy... is really somethin'."

Yukinami, pride evident in her eyes, gave her brother a big smile. "You were incredible, Suzunami. I'm so proud of you."

Gojo, grinning ear to ear, clapped Suzunami on the back. "That's what I'm talking about! You've got the skills, and now you've got the confidence to match. Well done, Suzunami. You're going to be unstoppable." He paused for a moment, then added, "Your technique needs a name since it's an extension of your Altar. Do you have any ideas, Suzunami?"

Suzunami thought for a moment, his eyes reflecting his determination and creativity. "If Sukuna's Shrine extension is Cleave, then mine would be Severance. It embodies the precise and decisive nature of my cuts, severing any attack and reaching the source."

Gojo nodded approvingly. "Severance. I like it ."

The group, hearing the name, couldn't help but admire Suzunami's ingenuity:

Qui-Gon, with a nod of approval: "Severance. A fitting name for such a powerful technique."

Padmé, clearly impressed: "Severance it is, then. It suits you, Suzunami."

Obi-Wan, with a smile: "A name worthy of your skills."

Anakin, with admiration in his eyes: "Severance... I like it. It's strong, just like you."

Yukinami, beaming with pride: "Severance is perfect. You've truly come into your own, Suzunami."

The group felt a renewed sense of camaraderie and respect, recognizing the immense potential within Suzunami and the bright future ahead of him with his newly named technique.
