Shaak Ti knows she's Fallen. But then, how could she not? The High Council had sent her here to Kamino, to this place of sterile environments and clinical decision making and thought she would be fine. She was a Jedi Master after all. She was supposed to be above emotions, to be beyond attachments.
It had taken all of one look at the clones still training to realize that they had an army of children. The clones who made it off Kamino were better at hiding it, so it didn't surprise her that none of the other Jedi seemed to realize. The ones who left the planet behind had completed their training and become the perfect soldiers they were promised to be by their creators.
But the ones still here on Kamino were younger and still untempered. Shaak Ti had watched thousands and thousands of clone trainees learning to be those perfect soldiers and she'd come to a simple conclusion… the Jedi Order had failed these children. And in doing so, they'd failed the galaxy.
She hadn't Fallen quite then, but later on when she'd been introduced to exactly how the Kaminoans ensured their 'quality product', when she'd seen the bodies of the 'decommissioned' and discovered Kaminoan Scientists destroying entire 'failed' batches before they even had a chance to open their eyes… that was when Shaak had finally lost herself to the Dark Side of the Force. That was when the Togruta Jedi Master knew she was done.
Ever since, she'd been doing everything in her considerable power to protect the children (her children) from their creators. As the Jedi Order's representative, she had quite a bit of authority over what was to be done with the 'product' that Master Sifo-Diyas had… ordered.
In her darker moments, Shaak Ti wished that Sifo-Diyas still lived. Mostly so that she could have the pleasure of killing him herself.
But at the same time, she'd known, or rather feared, what might happen if anyone from the Order found out. Not found out WHAT she'd done, because technically everything she'd done so far had been in accordance with the Order's values and teaching. However, if they found out WHY she'd done it… then she knew she'd be ruined. She knew it would be over.
So when Skywalker showed up before her, she had been more than shocked. She'd been terrified. The Togruta hadn't even felt him arrive on the planet, which was rather insane given that he was perhaps the strongest Force User currently alive.
Certainly, she remembered when he was younger, freshly arrived on Coruscant and apprenticed to Obi-Wan Kenobi. One could sense Anakin Skywalker anywhere he was in the Temple at any given time. And his overwhelming presence in the Force had only grown stronger as he'd grown older.
Kenobi had tried to teach him control, of course. The High Council had even had a couple of meetings with the Jedi Knight on the subject of temperance, early on. And to be fair, Skywalker had learned to reign himself in somewhat, until he was less of a blazing sun and more of a roaring bonfire.
But never, not in all her years, had Shaak Ti heard of him being able to hide his presence entirely.
Though to be fair, she hadn't heard of him being able to use the Force to block a lightsaber with the palm of his hand either. That sort of thing sounded like it was only in the realm of someone like Master Yoda. Yet… Skywalker had done it as easily as breathing. And then he'd gone and kissed her.
They were still kissing, in fact. Shaak Ti wasn't sure why, but she also knew she didn't want it to end. There's a sense of… understanding between them, an understanding that paradoxically baffles her at the same time.
After all, there was no sugar coating it. She had just tried to kill him. Skywalker had seen too much. He'd seen right through her, seen the Darkness that had blossomed in her heart, and he'd called her out on it. For the sake of her children, Shaak Ti had been ready to strike down the Chosen One and quietly dispose of his body while hoping nobody would ever find out.
Obviously, that hadn't happened. But the kissing… the kissing was even more unexpected than Skywalker's prowess. It was like… it was like he was showing her that his love was as great as her love. That his obsession was as great as her obsession.
… That his Darkness was GREATER than her Darkness.
Shaak Ti's eyes flutter shut as her saber shuts off with a familiar snap-hiss, the hilt dropping from her hand. Instead, her fingers come up and grasp at the front of Skywalker's robes. Before, she'd been desperate to stop him from exposing her. Now… now she's desperate for a different type of exposure altogether.
His hands join hers in their frantic, frenetic activity. Through a combination of clawing as well as none-too-subtle use of the Force, they tear one another's clothes off. Shaak Ti finds herself pushed back against the wall before she knows it, her bared skin pressing against the smooth, cool surface as long, red legs come up to wrap around Skywalker's waist.
In turn, his cock is nestled between her thighs in a moment, pressing against her sex, riding up along her slit and pushing ever so slightly into her aching core.
Their mouths finally part as he pulls back and looks at her. Shaak Ti's eyes widen as she sees the blazing golden yellow of the Dark Side in his gaze. The corner of Skywalker's mouth quirks up in amusement at her reaction, as if to say 'really? That's what gets you about this whole situation?' and Shaak Ti flushes in response.
Then, he's inside of her. Not that she minds. She would have told him to stop long before this point if she didn't want… if she didn't want him to fuck her. A shudder runs down Shaak Ti's spine as his cock fills her all the same though, and a truly wanton moan, perhaps the most wanton and pleasure filled of her life, leaves her lips.
It feels so, so good to be filled with Skywalker's cock. Better than it should, really. It's not like Shaak Ti is a virgin, after all. Jedi aren't meant to have attachments, but that doesn't mean they're expected to be entirely celibate. And Togruta… Togruta had certain instincts that needed to be addressed from time to time, lest they overwhelm you.
Still, it's never felt this good before. Every other time, it was just scratching a particularly persistent itch. This time? This time Shaak Ti feels completed. She feels like she's finally found a place of belonging, pressed up against the wall with Skywalker's cock buried inside of her.
As he begins to move, her moans only grow. As he starts to properly rut her, all Shaak Ti can do is cling to him, holding on for dear life and shuddering in abject ecstasy. The Dark Side is all around them as the sound of flesh slapping against flesh fills the small room. The Force swirls in and out of them both as Skywalker takes her, treating her not like the Jedi Master she is, but as a woman… HIS woman.
It is a very, very pleasurable experience from start to finish. Shaak Ti cries out each time she comes undone upon his cock, her eyes threatening to roll back in her head as she arches her spine and tosses said head back as best she can with the wall right behind her.
The tips of her montrals scrape against the wall in a very interesting way as she does this, only adding to the overwhelming experience she's currently having.
Until suddenly… with a grunt, Skywalker fills her. She's not sure how long they'd been fucking, having lost all semblance of time from the moment he'd entered her, but the Togruta certainly feels it as the human man fills her with his seed. A small, distant part of her blanches, knowing full well that humans and Togruta are technically compatible and she is very much fertile.
But the Fallen part of her doesn't care. The Dark Side pushes down that small distant part and Shaak Ti simply lets herself smile, leaning forward to rest her head on Skywalker's shoulder, her eyes drifted shut in satisfaction as he fills her womb with his virile seed.
After a long beat though, it's done. He finishes cumming and then pulls back and Shaak Ti has to open her eyes and face the world again. His cock slips out of her and he helps her drop to her own feet with just a touch of the Force to keep her steady and make sure she doesn't slide down the wall to fall on her ass.
Breathing heavily, her breasts heaving up and down with her lekku draped over them, Shaak Ti stares at Anakin Skywalker. Now that they're apart… she truly has no idea what just happened… or what comes next. But she does know one thing. The Chosen One is just as Fallen as she is. He won't report her to the High Council.
"No, I won't."
Shaak Ti flushes, flinching as he easily reads her mind. But then, she's not that surprised. The Dark Side has only made Skywalker more powerful… and less inhibited. Your average Jedi would never casually read another's mind without permission, something she's certain Kenobi had taught his padawan. But Skywalker wasn't a Jedi anymore. Neither of them were…
"How… how did you Fall?"
Skywalker tilts his head to the side at that, a shadow falling over his face for a moment before he finally answers.
"For love. The same as you, I suppose. Love for my wife. Love for our unborn children. But also fear. Fear of losing them. Fear of watching them die before my eyes."
Shaak Ti flinches, images of decommissioned clones and scrapped batches flashing through her mind. Hatred for the Kaminoans wells up inside of her, even as Skywalker smiles grimly.
"You're very angry."
That's the understatement of the century, but Skywalker isn't done. He clenches his hand, the flesh and blood one, into a fist as he lifts it between them.
"You should be. This? All of this is nothing more than slavery. The Kaminoans might dress it up in terms like 'product' and 'creation' but the truth is the truth. They've brought all of these sentient beings into the universe for one reason and one reason only… to sell them to the highest bidder."
A tremor runs through Shaak Ti's body.
"And the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic have accepted it. They've taken one look at the situation and decided not to say a word. Why? Because they need the soldiers? Never mind that there are only a few million clones meant to defend a republic made up of trillions and trillions of sentients. No, they accepted it because they've blinded themselves to the rot."
He's right. Force, she's been looking at it through just the lens of her own experiences. She hadn't even… she hadn't even realized that the Order was effectively countenancing slavery by allowing the Kaminoans to continue making clones, as well as using the clones to fight their war.
At the same time, Shaak Ti's mind catches on the other part of what Skywalker just said. The numbers. It had never even dawned on her before, but none of it actually makes sense when one thinks about it.
The Clone Army had seemed like a gift from the Force itself, initially. Or rather, a gift from the departed Master Sifo-Diyas. If not for Yoda and the clones arriving on Geonosis when they did, Shaak Ti and the other surviving Jedi in the arena would have perished that day just like all the rest.
But that was just one battle. Just one planet. The Galactic Republic was home to over a million worlds. The millions of clones that the Kaminoans had produced so far couldn't possibly hold even a fraction of that. Instead, the majority of the Republic was currently having to take up arms themselves. Of course they were, by comparison the Separatists had hundreds of worlds dedicated to droid production. Battle droids in the millions were marching out of the factories and off to war by the _day_. But then… why?
"Now you're starting to ask the right questions."
Eyes wide, Shaak Ti looks up at Skywalker, who smiles back at her grimly.
"I don't… I don't understand. If we don't need them, if they're barely a drop in the bucket of this whole Force-forsaken mess… why is this happening? What purpose do they truly serve?!"
It was starting to feel like there was a greater conspiracy at work here. The claim was that Master Sifo-Diyas had seen visions of the future that made the Clone Army necessary, but looking at the bigger picture, Shaak Ti was now starting to realize that the clones weren't necessary at all. Not to the conflict between the Confederacy and the Republic, at least.
But… but that wasn't the only conflict at play here, was it? There was another conflict just beneath the surface, a conflict that had actually been ignited more than ten years before on Naboo… when Obi-Wan Kenobi had survived an encounter with a verified Sith Apprentice and his master Qui-Gon Jinn had not.
Count Dooku had been confirmed to be a Sith on Geonosis. And servants of his such as Asajj Ventress wielded red lightsabers. But more than that, Master Kenobi had given the High Council and the High Council alone information from Dooku when the older man had interrogated him on Geonosis. The former Jedi Master had claimed that there was another Sith Lord and he was already in control of the Senate.
… What did it all mean? In the end, Shaak Ti finds herself staring at Skywalker imploringly. He looks back at her knowingly and she can tell he has all the answers. She can only hope that he'll give them to her so she can finally make sense of all this madness.
