This chapter kicks off from 'the Last Battle' episode I Hope you enjoy the chapter. For this chapter and probably the future of the story Mando'a will be in Italic 1: it is easier for me 2: You don't have to scroll to the bottom to view the translation. If you guys have a problem with this, I'll reconsider. Again, I hope you enjoy the Season 3 Kando Intro .

Chapter 11: Alliance on Agamar

"Adiik I have a mission for you and two of the rookies it shouldn't be beyond your skillset, according to my scouts there is a downed Separatist ship on the surface from the Clone Wars; I want you to recover the data analysed by that ship" Vrom addressed his son standing in front of the displayed holo-image gesturing to the bridge.

"I remember the planet but can't remember where it is from, what type of data was that ship carrying ifit is still relevant now" Kandosii questioned intrigued with this rather peculiar assignment, it wasn't the strangest mission he had been assigned on after Malachor; he shuddered. He had been ignoring all of Sabine's Holo-calls and threw himself at his father's service asking regularly for missions. Vrom had been ecstatic with the change of mind his son had; he rarely asked for missions after the interference of the Wren girl, Vrom whilst not liking being questioned by others decided to indulge his son and heir.

"You should, Clan Ordo was present in the numerous battles for the planet in the Clone Wars, this ship was knocked out of commission during a resupplying run during the fifth battle for the planet it had however been the only ship to witness our fleet and the Republic's battle manoeuvre's in Close range battles with command ships along with the Separatist naval formations thus it holds very valuable information which we need" Vrom explained placing is hands behind in each other at the base of his back.

"Any hostile force known around the area?" Kandosii asked

"Not that I have been informed of, all the Droids were shut down after the Jedi treason so there shouldn't be anyone who knows or manning the station; There is another matter which I must speak to you about before you go" Vrom's voice held no room for avoidance despite how much Kandosii wanted to leave and get this over with, Kandosii stood stiff and gave his father his full attention.

"It would appear we have a traitor in our midst, several missions involving operations against Clan Saxon have had serious leaks causing failure; I have investigated into this and it would appear that someone within Clan Wren is responsible, the only people with access to transmit off world are Khia Wren and your General Tarro" His father spoke calmly which was unnerving, if he knew it was one of them two how come they weren't in a cell; his father obviously had something planned most likely revenge which couldn't bode well for Clan Wren who were in a precarious situation within the world of Mandalorian politics.

"Tarro wouldn't betray me and neither would Khia she's loyal to Tarro, you must be wrong father" Kandosii tried to defend Sabine's family but it would appear his father had expected this and merely sighed before turning away from him broadcasting his disappointment. Making Kandosii frown, despite how he acted he did want his father's approval which he never received.

"Even more reason for one of them to do this as you don't want to see what is evident, one of them is a traitor; when you return, I suspect I will have identified the turn cloak" Vrom gave a chilling smile as he turned back looking directly at Kandosii who was slightly unnerved, his father gave off a very dark vibe and was just as chilling to face as Vader had been.

"I guess we will see…" Kandosii turned before leaving heading towards his ship where the rookies no doubt awaited, he hated babysitting so he hoped these two warriors could at least look after themselves or he would just tell them to stay on the ship whilst he did all the work.

Approaching the smaller Mandalorian dropship assigned for the mission were the two rookies from Clan Sparr and Clan Hull, he sighed of course his father would try and get him to affiliate with one of them in the hopes he would choose bride from one of the clans, he'd have words when he got back from Agamar.

"My lord, my name is Ago of Clan Hull. Let me say that it is a great honour to serve under…."

"My name is Ciin of Clan Sparr, it is also a great honour to my clan for me to serve you..."

Kandosii internally sighed this was going to be a long flight hopefully they wouldn't pester him too much, best be professional about the mission he thought dutifully.

"An honour to have warriors from such notable Clans under my command, I trust you have received a briefing for the mission or do I have to carry it out?" Kandosii formally replied as propriety dictated, he couldn't kriffing care if they were sucked out into space, boot lickers weren't appreciated.

"We have sir, we are to accompany you onto the surface this is an order that was to be followed no matter the protest from you as per Allor's orders" Ago spoke first standing rigidly in attention along with Ciin who looked tense, Kandosii's eye twitched in irritation.

"Fair enough, there are very few missions which go smoothly so I want you kitted and ready when we hit boots down near the downed ship, this intel is crucial for our fight against Imperials. Full weapons check and watch each other's back don't do anything heroic, Vode an" Kandosii informed before entering the hyperspace route into the Navi computer, hurtling towards Agamar.

With the Ghost Crew

"You're sure you don't need help?" Hera asked concerningly as Rex, Ezra, chopper and Kanaan disembarked from the Ghost.

"I'm sure everything will go horribly wrong" Kanaan joked before walking off the ramp

"We'll be fine we've got a Clone Wars Veteran we us"

"Ready captain?"

"Yes Sir…err General… Kanaan" Rex muttered forgetting where he was, seeing the old Separatist ship bringing back painful memories of the Clone Wars. With that the Ghost flew off and left the system not detecting the Mandalorian ship which was just coming out of hyperspace.

The rebels moved forward towards the main hangar where the shields once protecting it were destroyed when it crashed almost two decades ago.

"There were several battles here during the Clone War, Five if I remember correctly; The Republic and the Mandalorian Mercenaries fought for this Planet it was a key Separatist Outer Rim Territory and split the Clone Army; it was vital to liberate this place but we never held onto it for long, command eventually decided it wasn't worth the lives and ships and so it was abandoned in favour for other hyperspace routes, this ship is the perfect place to find weapons, ammo and maybe even some proton bombs".

"Mandalorians mercenaries? I thought they only fought for themselves?" Ezra asked

"You'd be surprised how many Mandalorians fought on the side of the Republic… Clan Ordo was a staunch supporter and even fought in several of the outer rim theatres of war though there were also those who fought for the Separatists like death watch and Saxon"

"Hey, is this a Separatist battle droid?" Ezra questioned kneeling down and picking up a deserted part.

"Oh yeah, well piece of one anyway. This place used to be crawling with them and we called em clankers"

"Clankers? I like that, how many of these do you think you blasted?" Zeb laughed

"I don't know thousands, probably tens of thousands I never kept count like some of the boys" Rex reminisced

"They don't look very dangerous" Ezra said uninterested with the battle droid's head tossing it aside onto the floor.

"You listen, those droids wiped out a lot of Republic troopers and many of them were my friends" Rex spoke darkly

"Rex has been through a lot. battles leave scars, some you can't see" Kanaan informed his Padawan before running into the Hangar before halting behind a crate as Rex gestured them aside.

"Let me recon first" Rex moved out of cover and began scanning the area with his helmet after quickly running across the hangar bay he located the munitions store which was fully loaded with proton bombs.

"Well would you look at that… we hit pay dirt, there are more proton bombs in there than we can carry"

"Good job Rex"

"Way to go Captain" Ezra said joyfully maybe Kanaan was wrong maybe this mission would go off without a hitch, they all for the exception of Chopper ran towards the munitions depot as the droid heard a mechanical noise and went to investigate.

"Hey careful kid, the droids used to protect their armouries with Ray shields" Rex informed

"What's a Ray shiel…d" Ezra stepped within the activation range trapping them all within the shield.

"This… is a Ray shield" Rex deadpanned before he heard the familiar sound battle droid's Clanking along the floor towards the trapped rebels.

"Look aren't they battle droids I thought they were all shut down?"

"well it looks like these one's weren't"

"You have been captured by the Separatist Alliance!" The lead droid stated to the Ghost crew inside the shield.

"Separatists?"

They were stunned and dragged to the command centre by the B1 Battle Droids, the last battle of the Clone Wars was about to begin.

Agamar, Outside station

"Sir a preliminary scan of the station reveals that there are four lifeforms inside the station as well as hundreds of operational battle droids, what's the plan of attack?"

"Infiltrate the dropship, primary weapons stealth until we reach the command bridge then we hold the bridge whilst retrieving the Data, exfil through bridge windows with Jetpacks we should be out before most of the Battle Droids can close in on the bridge, don't do anything stupid and be alert; I want to get through this quick and clean" Kandosii commanded before readying his twin blasters in his side holsters and holding the Clan blade ready, he received two determined nods from his escorts and they moved out towards the ship.

Space

How much fuel did we get before the ambush"

"Enough for the entire fleet, I just hope Kanaan and Rex aren't expecting us back on Agamar anytime soon"

"If Kanaan's needs help he'll call us"

"Since when?"

"If choppers in over his head he'll hide and call us"

"That's more believable" Sabine said mockingly

"Congratulations, your plan to ambush them at the fuel depot, worked like a charm" Kallus complemented.

"Only if we catch them"

"Excuse me governor, we have intercepted a rebel transmission to the Agamar system before it was received by the rebel ship, the message is encrypted but it repeats like a distress signal" Admiral Konstantine informed looking over one of the bridge staff's shoulders

"Interesting, the rebels there must be desperate for help… that will never come, locate the nearest Imperial garrison and deploy them immediately" Governor price ordered

Agamar

"The Objective of this battle is simple you must fight your way back to my command centre and capture it to free your friend" Kalani announced to the surrounding area unaware of the other threat which was closing in on his position.

"What in Manda?" Ago exclaimed loudly

"Keep quiet, they must be distracted defending the hangar double time now" Kandosii snapped quietly.

"Rex, you have more battlefield experience than either of us, you lead"

"We need to get inside that Hangar, Kalani is a war machine and he's designed to kill and he's got the numbers and the firepower to do it, our only chance is to be aggressive and surprise him hopefully put him on the defensive.

"How many droids do you think he has" Ezra mused

"The Last battle will begin now" Kalani announced as he finished a battalion of Battle droids marched out towards the rebels in a tight line formation which went several rows backwards.

"A lot, He has a lot of Battle droids" Kanaan said after hearing the clanking.

"We've gotta scatter them use the sword and shield manoeuvre" Rex shouted to be heard.

"Sword and shield?"

"We block he fires" Kanaan cleared up the confusion etched on his Padawan's face.

The Jedi blocked the incoming blaster fire whilst occasionally ducking so Rex could toss a grenade into the middle of the formations before announcing once the droids had thinned to press the attack complaining to Ezra to keep in formation almost getting hit before rushing to the Hangar. They hold at one of the crates closest to the hangar exit.

"The hangar looks clear, let's move..." Ezra makes to run out of cover but rex stops him

"Wait that's not how it usually goes, they usually keep coming wave after wave" Rex said

"That tactical droid has had a long time to think about this and remember he wants to win" Kanaan replied.

"I'm surprised it means so much to his programming" Ezra said

"It means a lot to mine as well, we clones were bred for combat; based off a Mandalorian Bounty hunter named Jango Fett, War was all we ever knew except for a few"

"We should move"

"Right commander… Kanaan" Rex sighed old protocols died hard.

"Looks like my friends are doing pretty good, might as well surrender now" Zeb spoke to Kalani in the command centre where they were watching the rebels enter the Hangar. Unbeknownst to all the Mandalorian strike team was closing in on their position with little to no opposition.

"I am not programmed to comprehend your humour"

"I'm not joking" Zeb deadpanned before Kalani laughed as well as a droid can.

"Your republic friends have taken the bait, send in the destroyers…"

"How much further, our jammers won't stop them from broadcasting our position for long if we are held down" Ago said impatiently whilst Ciin held the rear guard watching for any droid movement behind them.

"We are almost there, around that corridor up ahead and the command centre is ours, they will have units holding so we need to strike hard and fast covering whilst we download the data" Kandosii informed before moving down the corridor with the two following his lead.

"Charge, FOR MANDALORE!" Kandosii shouted before sprinting towards the command centre with his saber in one hand a blaster in another shooting the weapon out of Kalani's hand and deflecting a bolt back towards a droid who crumpled instantly.

"Seal the doors Ago and start the download Ciin".

"What Republic trickery is this, Lasaat are these soldiers with your crew"

"No" Zeb looked wary of the Mandalorians in the group even at Kandosii especially after he gave commands in Mando'a, a language only Sabine was familiar with on the Ghost.

"Why are you here? Kandosii" Zeb asked cautiously making to stand up but Ago pointed his blaster straight towards him, Kandosii ordered him to lower his blaster and after a tense standoff he reluctantly obeyed.

"This ship houses Technical read outs of numerous Republic and Mandalorian attack formations which will be invaluable for our efforts and important to prevent the leakage of top secret information to the Empire and your rebel friends" Kandosii replied, Kalani analysed the interaction before looking back to how the republic forces were progressing, they would be at the door any moment now.

"Download is 75% done Allor and we have incoming two Jedi and a Clone trooper" Ciin shouted out before two lightsaber's started to cut through the door, Ago re-directed his blaster towards the door.

"Stand down" Kandosii ordered but Ago refused to listen

"I said Stand down…" Kandosii edgingly repeated looking towards Ago in slight bemusement, did he have other orders which he wasn't privy to? The Jedi came through the door Lightsaber's at the ready now with both Ago and Ciin aiming blasters towards them.

"What is going on here?" Kanaan announced

"Not one step closer Jedi or we'll shoot"

"No one is blasting anyone I said stand down now, this is your final warning place your weapons down!" Kandosii shouted towards them before pointing his lightsaber towards his team.

"I'm sorry sir but our orders are to secure that data and prevent the Jedi from interfering from Lord Vrom himself, it's completed we can move out" Ciin replied before ejecting the drive out of the computer before blasting the control panel.

"Attempt to follow us Jedi and we will use deadly force, commander we are leaving" Ago said before blasting the windows moving towards them before jetpacking outside along with Ciin.

"Regardless of the interruption from the Mandalorian infiltrators and had it not been for the malfunctioning of my Battle Droids you would have lost which means victory for the Separatist Alliance" Kalani interrupted Kandosii puzzled stopped leaving the Command Centre.

"You fought a simulation to prove who would have won?" Kandosii questioned confused as to why the crew agreed to this.

"Not exactly voluntarily" Kanaan responded

"No one won the Clone Wars, Clones were decommissioned, the Jedi were purged and the Droid army was just shutdown but who really won?" Ezra mused aloud catching the attention of everyone.

"The Empire?" Zeb questioned

"That's right Zeb how did you know?"

"Because they're here and they're about to win again..." Zeb announced as an Imperial Star Destroyer arrived with an escorting vessel. Kalani had sent a droid squad to see if the Imperials were hostile to which the squad was destroyed.

"Ago Ciin I need a pickup from the command centre there are Imperial ships heading this way" Kandosii comm'ed in.

"Sorry commander but our orders specified no Imperial entanglement and we can't risk a pickup we'll return to information to your father" Ciin responded before cutting the line, Kandosii clenched his fists in anger turning towards those inside the command centre.

"Slimy nerfherders, I'll cut them to pieces when I get of this rock"

"Well I guess that limits our escape options" Rex inputted

"There's a shuttle inside the hangar" Ezra announced to the group

"Shuttle? What Shuttle?" Kanaan asked

"The shuttle I tried to tell you about earlier" Ezra bit back obviously annoyed.

"We have three shuttles which have no weapons the walkers will destroy them before they escape the Hangar"

"we use the proton bombs to destroy the lead walker and then in the confusion make for the shuttles" Ezra said

"My droids are not accurate, we will need to have my droids fire at the you Master Jedi and your Padawan and re-deflect the blasts more accurately than my droids could achieve alone" Kalani spoke showing a hologram of the scenario.

"This takes trust to a whole new level" Rex said amusingly.

"Mind if I tag along?" Kandosii questioned

"Sure, the more the merrier" Kanaan replied jokingly

The Droids, Rebels and Kandosii successfully escaped the Hangar though one droid shuttle was destroyed. The Ghost linked up in space before both ships hurtled into hyperspace.

"Where do you want to be dropped off Kando?" Kanaan inquired still unsure of his

"After today, I feel like I owe you all a favour; if you'll have me?" Kandosii said surely, it wasn't just for today but for his part on Malachor he wanted to make amends for. Kanaan nodded, Captain Rex moved towards Ezra talking about the 2nd battle of Geonosis. He needed time away from Ordo if he went back now he'd probably have killed those traitors, Clan Hull and Clan Sparr would never rise under his leadership. No one will deal with me as if I am a mere pawn, I am heir to largest Mandalorian gathering in millennia and I will fight the Empire when I am Mand'alor, Kandosii internally vowed staring back into the stars.

Chapter Finished

Hey guys and girls, hope you enjoyed this chapter it does go between several perspectives and the story changes more than any other chapter but with the input of an OC things are bound to play out a little differently. Kandosii is sick of being controlled leading to his temporary or not so temporary link up with the Rebels (grins evilly) Next episode will be the 'Imperial Super Commandos'.

Quotes from the Future
