INT. TRAINING CENTRE 14/ROOM 112 - DAY
Students file into the room as Instructor Poule goes over his notes on a datapad. As Anakin takes a seat at his desk beside Orowi, he stares hard at the Mandalorian instructor.
POULE (INSTRUCTOR #2): (walks up to the head of the class) Alright, everyone, today we're going to go over the --
Noticing Anakin's hard stare, Poule goes silent for a moment.
POULE: (frowns) What's your problem, Skywalker?
Without a word, Anakin -- along with half of the other students in the room -- closes his eyes.
EXT. TRAINING ARENA - DAY
Ben, Siri, and a number of other Level 34ers are led out into the centre of the training arena, various cleaning tools and products on them. Waiting for them, his fat, red, grinning face unhelmeted, is the Mandalorian taskmaster.
TASKMASTER: Alright, you worthless grubbers, I want you to get this arena nice and clean for Noum's afternoon training session. I want it clean enough to reflect the suns' light, understand? Good! Now hop to it!
While a number of the workers obey and start about their cleaning duties, most of them -- Siri and Obi-Wan included -- merely stand where they are, refusing to move. Immediately aware of this act of disobedience, the taskmaster's red face deepens to maroon.
TASKMASTER: (angry) What are you dung-eaters doing standing there like a crop of dead 'droids?! Get to work!
The still workers refuse to respond. Instead, they all close their eyes.
INT. BUNKER 13/SUBLEVEL R/TRANSMITTER ROOM - DAY
Nashira, the snivvian, the saurin, and the Chadra-fan all sit cross-legged upon the stone floor, their eyes closed in concentration.
INT. TRAINING CENTRE 14/ROOM 112 - DAY
Frustrated with Anakin's silent treatment, Poule strides over to him and angrily places his hands down on the boy's desk.
POULE: Am I boring you, Skywalker? Am I putting you to sleep?
Suddenly, a strong, sourceless breeze begins to blow through the room. Alarmed, Poule staggers back.
POULE: (afraid) What are you doing?
EXT. TRAINING ARENA - DAY
Full of rage, the taskmaster stomps over to one of the silent workers -- a tall, slender ho'din with blue-green skin.
TASKMASTER: (yelling) I said get to work!
With a heavy punch to the gut, the Mandalorian sends the ho'din to the ground. Spitting on the ho'din, the taskmaster then kicks her in the side of the head.
TASKMASTER: You won't work? Then you won't live!
Reaching for his side, the taskmaster unsheathes his sword. As he raises his blade of polished Mandalorian iron high above his head, Siri and Obi-Wan pull out their lightsabers.
INT. TRAINING CENTRE 14/ROOM 112 - DAY
Full of fear, Poule rushes over to his desk. Pulling a drawer open, he pulls out a blaster pistol and quickly aims it at Anakin. Before the instructor can pull the trigger, however, the closed eyes of every concentrating student in the room open.
An invisible force suddenly hits Poule, hurling him backward. With a loud crash he hits the wall, collapsing to the floor in an unconscious heap.
EXT. TRAINING ARENA - DAY
As one Obi-Wan and Siri open their eyes and activate their lightsabers. As the taskmaster swings his sword downward, the two Jedi Knights cross their lightsabers before it, blocking the metal blade before it can make contact with the ho'din.
TASKMASTER: (surprised) What!? Where did you get those lightsabers?!
Bringing their blades up, the two Jedi knock the taskmaster's sword back. Wasting no time, the Mandalorian takes a swing at Obi-Wan and strikes the Jedi in the face with the flat side of his blade. As Ben reels backward in pain, the taskmaster quickly turns upon Siri; lunging forward, he crosses blades with the Coruscanti Jedi.
TASKMASTER: (screaming) Death Watchmen! To my aid!
Hearing his cry for help, various Death Watchmen stationed throughout the training arena leave their posts in a rush to reach the centre of the arena.
As the taskmaster knocks Siri's lightsaber from her hand, the beaten ho'din rises from the ground and throws her hand out toward the Mandalorian. To his surprise, his sword is telekinetically wrenched out of his grasp and into her. As the Mandalorian reaches for his blaster, the ho'din lunges forward, running him through with his own weapon.
As the armed Death Watchmen arrive in the centre of the arena, the remaining workers all awaken from their trance and turn to face their oppressors. As the Mandalorians open fire on them with their blasters, the Level 34ers throw up their arms and, through the Force, erect a shield which causes the blaster bolts to dissipate before they can reach their targets.
MANDALORIAN #14: Their Force shield is too strong for blasters!
MANDALORIAN #15: Call for reinforcements! Tell them to bring in heavier --
Before the Mandalorian can finish her order, the workers send the Force outward to throw her and her fellow Death Watchmen back into the stone walls of the converted amphitheatre.
INT. TRAINING CENTRE 14/ROOM 112 - DAY
Walking over to Poule's unconscious form, Anakin bends down and picks up his fallen blaster. Rising back up, he leaves the classroom; his fellow students follow along behind him.
INT. TRAINING CENTRE 14/CORRIDOR - DAY
As the students walk out of Room 112, they spot two Mandalorians -- an instructor and an armoured Death Watchman -- walking down the corridor together. As Anakin blasts the warrior in the face, killing him instantly, one of the other students uses the Force to send the instructor flying down the length of the corridor.
INSTRUCTOR #3 (Wilhelm Scream)
CUT TO
A montage of various inmates throughout Bunker 13 and beyond rising up against the Mandalorians, using their collective knowledge and power in the Force to strike back. While many end up dying at the hands of the Mandalorians, many more manage to prevail against the armoured warriors.
