Lehon, 19 BBY

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

The more Jade looked at the Lehon Landscape, the more she came to enjoy the planet. The planet reminded her of Corellia in a few ways, only with less larger land masses, and did not have as many large cities. Yet it was very beautiful none the less. These were her thoughts as she meditated on one of the beaches of Lehon...and by Meditate, she meant relaxing after a very intense week.

It had been a whole week since Order 66 and the formation of the Galactic Empire. In that week, the people who evacuated Concordia, as well as the Hades Corps spent the week having some much needed relaxation after what had happened, in order to collect their thoughts, and wait for things to calm down a bit in the galaxy.

They haven't forgotten their mission of course, and many were already planning raids on known Pirate and Slaver bases in the Outer Rim Territories. They were also still keeping an eye out for any Jedi Survivors and Clone Defectors who could still be out there in the galaxy, in need of help.

However, for Jade and many of the others, the week was a week where they could finally take some much needed and earned time off. Even the Master's agreed that everyone needed a 'break' after what had happened.

During the break, Jade thought about her growing love relationship with Trips. So far the two were becoming more and more intimate with their feelings for each other. But, as of yet, they hadn't done the deed, yet.

She blushed at the thought of her and Trips being that intimate. She wouldn't mind of course, though she'd like to wait a bit longer for things to calm down a bit in the galaxy. Besides, she didn't know if she was ready to be a mother yet.

The thought of that caused her to blush even more, to the point someone else noticed "you know, you keep that act up, someone might mistake you for being a Zeltron." A voice said, and Jade turned around to see Sasha standing behind her. She was no longer wearing her armor, and was now wearing a dark blue two piece swimsuit. She was grinning from ear to ear "So, what ya thinking about?"

Jade looked back at the sea, trying to compose herself.

"J-Just, thinking about the recent happenings in my life, is all," she said, and Sasha just grinned more.

"If it includes Trips, and doing you-know-what with him-,"

"SASHA!" Jade half-yelled, clearly embarassed as she looked around, "Don't say that here!"

The Mandalorian just began to laugh as she held her sides.

"It's not funny!" Jade pouted, but it seemed to only make her laugh harder.

"It seems pretty funny to us, Jade." Another voice said, and Jade turned to see Zule, Kass, Scout, Aubrie, Aira, and Revy standing not to far away, all of them wearing varying colors and types of swimsuits. "Besides, I'm sure you'll get to that phase soon enough." Zule said, wearing an Orange and Maroon colored two piece swim suit.

Jade blushed even more "S-Stop it," she said, before trying to change the subject "S-So why are you all d-dress like that?"

Kass giggled a bit "Well, we decided to tease the boys a bit on the other beach, so we changed into these." She said, and Jade couldn't help but gawk at that.

"Geesh, I didn't even know you all had that teasing streak in you," she said, "You least of all, Zule,"

The Falleen just chuckled, "Well, let's just when it comes to having a boyfriend, who's been by your side for 2 years, tends to bring out certain, qualities," she said and the Jedi General of the Hades Corps just sighed.

"I swear," she said, feeling a minor headache coming on. "But how the hell did you get Scout and Aubrie to be part of this?"

The two Padawans blushed a bit as the older women in the group laughed "It just took a little...encouragement." Revy said with a laugh. "So, we came by here to see if you wanted in on this too. So what do ya say? We already got a suit in your size." And Kass tossed a small brown package towards Jade, and she opened it and blushed at the sight of the two piece dark red bikini.

"Come on..." Sasha said, nudging her "You know you want to..."

Jade looked at the suit again, and finally sighed "Fine..." she said as she stood up with the package in hand "I'll be back in a minute..."

With that she went to change into her suit, while Kass, Zule, Sasha, and Revy were trying not to laugh so loud.

"Oh man, Trips is gonna die by major nose-bleed once he sees Jade in that suit," the redhead said as the other women agreed with her.

Other side of the beach

Marik sighed in relaxation as he lied down on the beach towel, taking in the sun above "Now this is perfect." He said, "After everything that's happened last week...its nice that we can relax for once."

"I know what you mean," Jango said as he laid on his own beach towel, "During my early days as a bounty hunter, I barely got any rest," he said, but then paled as he remembered how he met Aira-ty, "Of course, when I met my wife she'd force me to take a break once in a while. And if I refused...," he shuddered at the thought, "Let's just say it wasn't pretty,"

He glared when he heard a suspicious cough that sounded like 'Whipped' coming from one of the others.

"To be honest, I never had a chance like this in my whole life," Trips said from his spot on the beach. "Its always been mission to mission during the Clone Wars...I never thought I'd get a chance to relax like this...well ever."

"Well, you are now Trips!" Revan said. "You gotta learn theirs more to life that fighting battle after battle. You gotta learn to step back, relax, and just take a break from it all, even if its just for a little bit."

"Couldn't agree more with you Revan!" Zule's voice called out, causing the men to all look towards the source, and their eyes all widened at what they saw.

"W-Wha...?" Marik said as he gawked at the swim suit Zule was wearing.

Sagan was taken by surprise by the fact that Aubrie was wearing a two-piece swim suit, as his jaw dropped.

Jango, although not surprised since he saw Aira-ty in something similar, couldn't help himself as he saw his wife in her swim suit.

"Abuh?" Was Drakes response seeing Scout in a two-piece Bathing Suit, a strong blush on his face.

"Woah..." Mak muttered, seeing Kass in a two-piece swim suit.

"J-J-Jade?" Was Trips's response, as his eyes were wide seeing Jade in a crimson red two-piece. All the while, all of the men were trying to think any non-perverted thought they could...keyword being trying.

The women couldn't help but giggle at the men's expressions.

"What, you guys never seen girls in a bikini before?" Revy teased, and the men were trying, but failing to form clear sentences, but were too distracted by the girl's swim suits.

"Looks like you were right Sasha," Zule said, with a large grin pattered on her face "The are speechless."

Sasha giggled a bit "Of course I was right," she said, "Remember who your talking to Zule."

The other's just giggled at that, while the men were trying to get out of their entranced stupor. It was Jango who spoke first.

"Uhh, not that me and the others are complaining or anything, far from it actually, but why are you girls dressed like that?" the Bounty Hunter said.

Aira just grinned "Other than to tease you, of course?" She asked, and Jango just groaned, "This is the first real shore leave that any of us have had in the last three years! And we plan on using it to our fullest extent, and not by wearing battle armor, or robes, but wearing these."

"So, what do you think?" Scout and Aubrie asked at the same time, as the two struck a pose back-to-back. For Drake and Sagan, it was too much as they soon fainted via nosebleed.

Sasha gigggled at the sight of the two boys.

"I guess it was too much for them," she said, and turned to the rest of the girls, "Wouldn't you all agree?"

They all nodded, as Scout and Aubrie went over to wake up their boyfriends, as the others also moved in.

"So, what do you think Trips?" Jade said, as she sat next to the Clone Commander, "Does it look good on me?"

Trips was still having a hard time to speak, but he managed to finally find his voice "Y-You look great Comm-err, I mean, Jade!" He stuttered out, "B-better than great, y-you look amazing!"

Jade giggled a bit, finding it rather amusing to see Trips stutter like this. 'Sasha was right,' she thought 'this is too fun!'

But before the women could tease them more, a voice got their attention.

"Uuhh, I'm not interrupting anything am I?" they turned and saw Zar, but in more casual clothes.

"That depends, what brings you here, Zar?" Aira said, and Zar's turn serious.

"We just got a tranmission from more Clone Defectors," he said, catching their attention, "Nasha wants us all there,"

The girls all groan in disappointment at that.

"Well that's a bummer," Revy said, "And I just got this suit at Culus City."

"Ya, well in the end, you can blame it all on the Empire." Zar said, and the others grudgingly nodded their heads as they got up, and headed back to H.Q.

En-Route to Ne'tra Kad H.Q

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

After everyone had gotten back into their respective uniforms, they were onboard a LAAT/i Gunship heading towards Ne'tra Kad's Lehon H.Q. Zule herself had foregone her old Jedi Robes in favor for a suit of Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor, which was colored orange and light brown, with the Orar Clan Crest etched onto its shoulders.

The armor was a gift from Marik's mother, who told her that she was part of the family now. Zule had thanked Freya, before they left for the H.Q.

The gunship arrived at the Ne'tra Kad Base and landed on the Landing Platform next to the main building, as the passengers got and headed to the War Room of the Head Quarters. The Ne'tra Kad base was built not to far from several towns and cities that had been built before the Concordia Evacuation, and the civilians from the evacuation were now living in them, and other settlements across the planet.

The group soon found themselves in the War Room, a massive room similar to the War Room on Concordia, only it was noticeably larger, and in the center was a large holographic map displaying the entire galaxy. On the map there were many different colored dots. Dark Blue dots stood for planets controlled by the Galactic Empire, while green dots stood for planets controlled by them. Obviously, there were many many blue dots, and very few green dots.

Standing near the map was Lady Artemis, who was joined with Master Yoda, Obi-wan, and Kota. Master Yoda had decided not to enter his exile just yet, mostly due to the fact he wished to complete Kira Angelina's Training. When Yoda found out the young Padawan was still alive after all of these years, he was both shocked and relieved, and he named her as his new apprentice, much to Kira's joy.

Nasha turned to see the others approaching "Sorry to interupt your little Vacation, but something's come up." She said, as the pressed a few buttons on the terminal, and the Galaxy Map zoomed into a specific spot, revealing an ice planet. "Just recently, we picked up a Jedi distress beacon coming from Rhen Var. " She explained, "It was coming from Jedi Knight Yuki Shiro, who is in command of the 31st Blizzard Regiment." An image of a female Pantorian Jedi appeared next to the planet's image. "From what we could confirm, the Blizzard Corps did not obey Order 66, but without transport they are stranded on the planet."

"So, we're going to go it, rescue them, and bring them back?" Marik asked, and Yoda hummed and nodded "Yes," he said. "Rescue them, we must. Added to our cause, they will."

"Alright, me and the Hades Corps will mobilize, see if we can get them out of there before the Empire of Grevious show up." Jade said with a nod.

"Alright," Nasha said. "But I need Jango, Aira, Boba and his team to go with you in the Legacy II, which brings me to another topic. A few minutes ago, around the same time we picked up the beacon, we received a message from Kamino, from Taun We and Lama Su, asking for Jango to meet them at these Coordinates."

They look at the map as Nasha loaded in the coordinates and the others were shocked as the map zoomed in on a well known area.

"That's in the Unknown Regions! Just outside the Outer Rim!" Marik said in shock as Nasha nodded.

"That's right," she said, "Apparently, Lama Su had a falling out with Palpatine after the latter revealed his second Clone Army, using, what's suppose to be illegal, Spaarti Technology,"

The others were floored by that news. "Spaarti Tech? You mean the Spaarti Cloning Cylinders?" Revan asked, both shocked and a bit angered.

Drake, Sagan, Aubrie and Scout were confused "Umm...what's Spaarti Technology?" Sagan asked, a bit sheepishly.

"Spaarti Cloning Cylinders are an alternate form of Cloning." Obi-wan explained, "Unlike Kaminoian Clones, who are cloned in the span of 10 years, a Spaarti Clone can be grown in just one year tops, only at the sacrifice of being less effective in combat. The Republic banned this technology, but it seems Palpatine used this tech to create more clones at a faster rate."

Nasha nodded "Exactly," she said, "And Lama Su fears that eventually, the Empire will have no need for them. So as a way to get back at him, he's been with holding several companies of clones from him, and instead gave them to Jango and the Neo True Mandalorians. But now he says that he wishes to help us out even more. All he did was request Jango and Arla's presence."

Jango thought about that, and felt that whatever Lama Su and Taun We wanted him and Aira for, it must be something greatly important.

"Alright, me and Aira will go to Kamino after we help rescue the Blizzard Regiment," he said and Nasha nodded.

"Good," She said before she turned to Marik "In the meantime, I have a mission for Marik and the Slice Hounds fleet."

Marik and Zule stepped forward "What is it Ma'am?" He asked.

"Zar said he recently picked up a Communication from an old ally of his in the Separatists." Nasha explained, "I believe you've heard of a Chiss named, Raptor?"

Marik and Zule's eyes widen at that, "The Starfighter Ace of the Sepratists?" the former asked and the Ne'tra Kad CEO nodded.

"Yes, he and his forces have been making raids against the Empire, after the supposed death of Grievous," she said, making Obi-Wan wince a bit, "Along the way, he's been picking refugee Jedi who survived Order 66 and Clone Deserters who refused to carry out the order,"

Everyone was suprised by that.

"He's been busy," Jade said.

"Yes, he has." Zar said, "But when he contacted me, he said he was in a bit of a situation. He's currently in the middle of a deadly game of Cat and Mouse with an Imperial Fleet near the Teth System. He needs any help he can get or else he and everyone else with him are goners."

"Say no more," Marik said, "We'll launch ASAP to give him a hand, besides, it'll be nice to fight with him, rather than against him."

Zar smiled at that, "I thought you'd say that, Adiik," he said, causing said Mandalorian to growl at that.

"For the millionth time," he said whil glaring at the Overlord, "STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"Later," Zar said "We've got ourselves a Mission, Adiik. Get your men on your ships, 'cause we need to haul our asses over there before we're too late." And with that, Zar left.

Marik groaned 'I'm gonna kill him...' he said, 'If its the last thing I do, I'll kill him...' but in the end he, Zule and Revan left the Command Center, to get to the ships while Jade and Trips prepared their own fleet.

"Are you sure they will pick up the beacon, Ma'am?" A Clone wearing an ARC Trooper variant of Clone cold assault trooper armor. The question was directed at a Pantoran woman wearing white and blue Jedi Robes, had dark blue eyes and dark blue hair tired into a pair of pony tails.

"Someone will," Jedi Knight Yuki Shino said, "Ne'tra Kad has always been a good friend of the Jedi since its founding...I just hope they weren't taken over by the Empire yet." She then sighed a bit "But, they might not be the only ones who pick it up," she said. "Maybe some surviving Jedi might pick it up...or maybe the empire does."

Before she could continue, another Clone trooper approached them.

"Ma'am, we're recieving a transmission! It's frequency matches General Klos and the 495th Legion," he said, and Yuki's eyes widen before she sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness," she said, "Is she still on the line?"

The Clone Trooper nodded as he brought out a holo pad and pressed he small button. Then, an image of a woman wearing Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor and a kama, her hair in the same style of twin pony-tails, and bearing the Qukuuf markings of the Kiffar. Next to her stood a man, also wearing Mandalorian Shock trooper armor, wih some ARC-Trooper accessories like the pauldron and Kama.

"Yuki, it's Telma," the woman said, "You alright down there?"

Yuki smiled "Yes, I'm fine." She said, "It's good to see you're still around Telma. I see your boy's didn't follow 66 either I see?"

"Of course!" Telma Klos said, "You'd really think my boys would shoot me in the back? Of course not! So I'm guessing you and your boys need a lift?"

Yuki nodded "Yes," she said. "Me and my boys are set up at the Old Republic outpost, I'll send you the coordinates now. How long until you're here?"

"We're already in orbit of Rhen Var now," Tor'kad said, "We've already got transports ready to bring you and your men up here."

Yuki nodded at that, "Thanks, me and my people are used to the cold, but even we have our limits," she said, and Telma nodded, knowing that even a Pantoran would eventually freeze to death.

"Right, gunships are on their way. See you soon," Telma said, and the message cut-off.

"Well, it looks like luck's on our side today, Frost." Yuki said to the Clone Trooper Commander, who smiled and nodded "That it does, ma'am." he said, "But I always thought you said 'There is no such thing as luck'?"

"After what's happened?" She asked, "I think it takes more than even the Force for this to happen to us." Frost just chuckled as he shook his head and moved to tell the troops they were going to evacuate.

Telma sighed a bit in relief "Well, that's one good deed done this week." She said as Gunships, CR-25's, CR-20's, and Nu-class Shuttles launched from their ships and towards the surface.

Tor'kad smiled and nodded "That it is," he said, "It was lucky that we were in the Sector when the message was sent out, and that we got here before any Imperial Forces got here."

"True," said the Admiral of the fleet, Tanis Onasi said, "But it won't take to long for Imperial Forces to track the beacon and head here. We'll have to hurry the evacuation-"

"Sirs!" One of the Bridge officers said, "We're picking up additional Hyperspace readings, ships are dropping out of Hyperspace. Identifying...their CIS Warships!"

"What!" Telma said shocked, "I thought the War was suppose to be over? How many are there?"

"There are two Lucrehulk-class battleships, 4 Providence-class cruisers, 6 Munificent-class Frigates, 8 Recusant-class Destroyers, and...," the Bridge Officer stopped as he paled.

"What? What is it?" Tanis asked as he, Telma, and Tor'kad looked at the officer who looked back at them with a look of fear on his face.

"One...Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser, sir." He said, and the eyes of the others widened as the color left their faces.

"On Screen!" Telma shouted once she recovered, and not to long after the image of the CIS Fleet appeared, and as the officer descriped, there was a single Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser in the fleet. However, Telma noticed one thing about the ship which caused her to sigh a bit in relief "We're in luck," she said. "It appears the vessel hasn't had its Ion Cannon installed."

All of the bridge crew sighed in relief at that, "That may be," Tanis said, "But that ship alone has a lot of firepower. Not to mention the rest of the fleet, they have us severely outnumbered."

Telma agreed with Tanis on that. With her Flagship, the Basilisk, a Venator-class Star Destroyer, she also had three Victory II-class Star Destroyers, which replaced the Legion's Acclamator-I Class Assault Ships, and five Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers, not enough to take on a Subjagator, let alone the feet that is accompanying said fleet.

"Ma'am! We're recieving a hail from the flagship!" said another one of the officers. The Jedi knight blinked a bit 'Their hailing us?' she thought, "Put it on screen." She said.

The clone nodded, and soon the image of the Subjugator's bridge appeared. But once they saw who was on it, their eyes widened.

"Impossible..." Telma muttered, yet in the screen ahead of them was none other than General Grevious.

"Well well," The Droid General said mockingly "If it isn't Telma Klos, the Mandalorian Jedi."

Telma could only narrow her eyes at the cyborg, "How are you still alive? Obi-Wan turned you into scrap metal!" she said, and she could see the cat-like eyes of the Droid Army General narrow at the name.

"Yes, General Kenobi did kill me on Utapau," the Cyborg growled, "But Lord Sidious brought me back, to deal with you, and any clone that refused Order 66," he said, and Telma's eyebrows rose at that.

"Lord Sidious?" she said, then her eyes narrowed again, "You mean Palpatine?"

"Of course," Grevious said, "It is the Emperor's will that you all be terminated. But if you lay down your weapons now, I may make your deaths painless."

Telma growled "You want our weapons?" She asked as she drew her lightsaber, and ignited her indigo blade "Come and get them, Clankers!"

That got a reaction as the Cyborg General started growling and then roared, before cutting the link.

"I think you made him mad," Tor'kad said with a dead-panned tone, as Telma smirked.

"Yes I did," she said, and turned to Tanis, "Admiral, have our pilots man their fighters," she then turned to Tor'Kad, "Get the boys ready, we're heading down to the surface to Yuki's position," she said with finality, and the Clone Commander nodded.

"Right!" He said as he and Telma headed off of the bridge.

Near the Teth System

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

A Chiss male with short military crew cut black hair, wearing an old grey CIS Navy uniform had his eyes closed in thought as he sat on the bridge of a Providence-class carrier/destroyer.

'A week.' He thought, 'Its already been a week since all hell's broken loose in the galaxy...'

Jerbal'Uraas'Tanoro, aka 'Raptor', has seen better days for him and his fleet. They use to be one of the most feared combat corps in the CIS, but after the death of the Separatist Leaders and the deactivation of most of the Droid Armies, things have been quickly going straight to hell. Not only that, but after Order 66, Raptor has seen many Clones turn on their Jedi Generals before his eyes.

'At least its not all of them,' He thought as his Crimson Red eyes opened. 'I find it quite strange...a few weeks ago, Jedi and Clones were my enemies. And now...their my allies.'

In the week since Order 66 hit, Raptor and the men and women he commanded refused to surrender to the Galactic Empire, and ever since they have been leading gurillia hit and run attacks on Imperial Targets, and rescuing Jedi Refugee's and Clone Defectors. In total, they had managed to save nearly 15 Jedi, and a Company's worth of Clones.

But now, things were looking dim. After a raid on an Imperial Shipyard, he was chased by one of the Empire's fleets who are hell-bent on taking him out. And it was no ordinary fleet, as it contained two of the Empire's new Imperial I-class Star Destroyers. He and his ship, the Perpetrator, have been playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the fleet ever since.

He hoped that his message e sent to his comrade-in-arms, and friend, Zar Hellfury managed to reach him. Otherwise, he, his fleet, and the people they rescue will be goners. He then tuned to one of the Bridge Officers who was manning the scanners.

"Any sign of those new Star Destroyers?," he asked the man, a Zabrak, who shook his head.

"Nothing yet sir," he said. "But odds are they followed us, and are on their way."

Raptor sighed "Make sure all pilots are ready for an emergency launch at a moments notice," he said. "We'll have to hold them off until we can get our Hyperdrive repaired from that one Star Destroyer's salvo. Sub light engines are still functioning, yes?"

"Yes sir," a Twi-lek behind the comm station said, "Engineering reports the main engines are still functioning, but it will take 30 minutes at least until the Hyperdrive is repaired."

Raptor sighed at that, "At least we can be thankful that these were Clones that were trained Centax, and are bad-shots compared to their Kamino brethren," he muttered.

"I can agree with you on that, Commander," said a human female with with brown hair with a white bang. "But do you think Zar actually got that message?"

"Hopefully, yes." Raptor said, "According to the Imperial Reports, Zar's remains were not found at Mustafar, which means theirs a good chance he's still around, which also means he and the Death Watch are probably out there somewhere causing hell against the Empire." He then chuckled a bit "He always was stubborn."

Before any of the bridge crew could respond, the Zabrack on the sensors shouted out "Sir, Their here!" He shouted, "Two Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, two Victory II-class Star Destroyers and two Venator-class Star Destroyers!"

Raptor cursed at that, "Damn! That was fast!" he said, "Have all fighters launch at once! Have all defensive batteries prepped!" he ordered and the Bridge crew hurried to carry out their orders. "And order our CR-90 Escorts to take up a Defensive Formation around the Perpetrator!"

"Looks like they found us again..." A voice said, and the Chiss looked to see a male Shistavanen Male wearing Jedi Robes, with a light saber attached to his side.

"Yes, they did." Raptor said, "I suggest you prepare the other Jedi and Clones on board, I believe there is a good chance they may attempt to board the ship Master Monn."

Voolvif Monn nodded "Very well," he said, and left to prepare the other Jedi and Clones they have with them.

"Hm, he doesn't talk much," said a Wroonian male, quite a bit put off by Voolvif's lack of social interaction.

"After what has happened this past week, I wouldn't blame him," Raptor said solemnly, before standing up. "Well, its best we prepare the Shrike Squadron for battle," he said. "Captain Torvic, you have the bridge." A Male Twi-lek with green skin nodded as Raptor left the bridge of the Perpetrator.

With the Hades Corps

Not long after launching, the fleet of the Hades Corps were now heading towards Rhen Var. On their way there, they would meet up with a fleet Jango called from the Neo True Mandalorian's hide-out in the Moddel Sector to meet with them at Endor, who will follow them to their destination.

Currently, The Hades Corps had have a few new 'additions' to their fleet. First, Master Taylor Masao and Jade's Brother Lee's Victory II-class Star Destroyer, the Predator, had joined them. Also, the CIS fleet they found at Hoth was now under their command, and were brought with them for some extra muscle. But that wasn't all, since D'anna, who was now the Captain of the Praetor-class Star Battle Cruiser 'Defiant', now crewed and manned by Ne'tra Kad and Clone Forces, had also joined them as well. Last but not least, the Katana and five other Dreadnaught-class cruisers from the Katana Fleet, was also part of their force. Putting their numbers at 43 Warships.

Overall, let's just say someone like Grevious would think twice before attacking.

"What do you suppose make up Jango's Forces, Sis?" Robert asked as they and the ohers looked out the main viewing port of the ship.

"He said it was just a small fleet," Jade said, "But its under the command of some old friends of his from Cuy'val Dar, so I'd say we can trust them."

Trips nodded "Ya, I'd trust almost anyone from them." He said, "Well...except Dred or Cort."

Jango frowned at the names of those two, while the others were confused.

"I can understand Dred, since he was running an underground tournament that caused a few clones to either be sent to the Med Center, or ended up dead," Satele said, as she read up on the Cuy'val Dar, "But what is it about Cort you don't like?"

Trips turned to the Admiral and a frown appeared on his face, "Because," he said with a low tone, "he was the one who personally trained Bacara. Last I heard, the bastard was helping the empire train their second army of Clones."

Jango sighed "Sadly, its true." He admitted, "Cort always had a lasting grudge against Jedi, why, I never knew. And he trained Bacara to be just like him."

Everyone sighed at that, "Well that's just great," Taylor said in frustration, while Trips smiled a bit.

"Luckily my trainer wasn't Cort," he said and Jade looked at him curiously.

"Who was your trainer, Trips?" she asked him, and Trips could only smile fondly.

"It was Vhonte Tervho," he said, "She was like a mother to me, and she treated me as if I were her own son. She looked after me, taught me everything she knew...there was this one time a few years before the war started that she took me and a few of my brother's on a 'hunting' trip on Tatooine without Jango knowing. We officially went there to hunt down a few Tusken Raiders, and other wild life on the planet that would be worth a bounty. But then she was offered a bounty by Jabba, to take out some Slaver and his little private army of mercenaries on Socorro, dead or alive."

Jango scowled at that, "Oh yeah, I remember that little 'Hunting Trip' Vhonte took you and those other cadets on. Two of you got hurt, and you were tramuatized for weeks, I thought the Kaminoans were going to have you 'disposed' of," he said with distaste, and many Clones cringed at that word. Trips nodded at that.

"Yeah, but Tervho wouldn't allow it," he said, "She later apologized for putting me through that. She even gave me my name that day."

Jade blinked "Wait, I thought you got your name from your three 6's in your number?" She asked, and Trips chuckled as he shook his head. "No, it wasn't something as simple as that." He said. "During that mission, and after we dealt with most of the mecs, we were surprised by the Slaver as he arrived in a Speeder Tank," Everyone who was listening toned in, " Vhonte told us to run for it, and when I was running, I tripped on a rock."

Trips glared a bit as some of the others began to giggle and try to hold in their laughter, even Jade was trying her best not to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Trips demanded.

"N-Nothing, Trips!" Jade said, as she managed to get a hold of herself. "Anyways, what happened after that?"

"After I tripped, the bastard decided it would be more funny to shoot the cannon on the tank at me," he said, and Jade couldn't help but feel bitter at the man who tried to kill Trips, "Just when the cannon was about to fire, Vhonte managed to pick me up and jumped just in time as the cannon fired. Of course I had my eyes closed ," he said, as that memory was still fresh in his mind, "When the dust cleared, I found myself being held by Vhonte, and I felt her trembling in rage, I couldn't see her face because of her helmet, but I knew she was glaring at the bastard. Then, I could hear her say 'No one hurts my Adiik' and after setting me down, she charged at the Tank."

The others were shocked as Trips continued "At first, I thought she was going crazy, charging at a tank like that." He said, "But somehow, almost like a Jedi, she managed to dodge every single shot that bastard sent her way as she charged, up until she took a Thermal Detonator and threw it at the Turret's muzzle, just as it fired another shot destroying it, and the Tank with it. When it was destroyed, the slaver tried to run, but she shot both of his legs, keeping him from running...I couldn't see what happened next because of the smoke...but from that guy's screams it wasn't pretty."

The others were surprised by that, as their eyes widened a bit.

"Yikes, I'd hate to get on her bad side," Robert said, hoping to never, EVER, piss off Vhonte Tervho. Jango chuckled at the scare look on Robert's face.

"That's Vhonte for you," he said, "She can be as protective as an mother sand panther, when the situation demands it." Trips nodded "Ya," he said. "Ever since that day, when not in public, she would always refer to me as either Trips, or as Ad'ika, and I would refer to her as Vhonte Buir."

Jade smiled at that, happy that her love had someone to look after him.

"Admiral, we're coming up on Endor," Said one of the Clones, and a few minutes later the fleet of ships exited Hyperspace, and in front of them was the gas giant planet of Endor itself, with the Forest Moon orbiting it. Jade and mostof the others couldn't help look at the small moon with awe.

"Even though I saw the Forest Moon in Holograms, seeing it in person is something else entirely," the Jedi said.

"Same here," Robert said, "I've heard Endor's home to some pretty crazy species who've crashed on its surface in the years."

"Contacts on Sensors," one of the Clones on the bridge said, "Four Vessels in orbit around Endor. Identifying...confirmed to be one Venator-class Star Destroyer, one Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser, one Providence-class carrier, and one Munificent-class Star Frigate."

Jango smiled at that,"That's them," he said, and then one of the clones reorted they were recieving hails from the four and the former Mand'alor told him to send it through.

Soon, four holographic images appeared. Two were women, two were men in Mandalorian Shock Trooper of them Trips recognized easily.

"Vhonte Buir?" Trips asked in surprise, seeing her mother-figure standing in front of them. The Mandalorian Huntress looked at Trips, and even though he couldn't see it because of her helmet, he could tell she was smiling.

"Trips...its good to see you." She said, "Its good to see you didn't follow 66 either." Trips chuckled a bit "Well, I guess I have you to thank for that," he said. "You taught me right."

Vhonte chuckled a bit "That I did Ad'ika." She said, before her eyes fell onto Jade "And...who might this be?" She asked, as she gave the young woman a calculating which made her a bit uncomfortable..

"This is Jade, she's the general of the Hades Corps, and...uh, my uh, the truth is...," he grumbled, not sure how to explain it.

But it wasn't needed, because when Vhonte heard her 'Son's' grumbling, she looked at Trips, then back to Jade, then back to Trips again. And he knew, oh Force Trips knew that she had a face-splitting grin across her face behind that helmet.

"Oh? Does my Ad'ika have a girlfriend?" She asked, causing both the Clone and Jade to blush, and numerous others on the bridge to chuckle and giggle.

The Clone Commander sighed at that, "Yes, it's true," he said and glared at the other woman who was laughing up a storm.

"Wow Vhonte, who would've thought your Ad'ika would be embarassed to say he has a girlfriend!" the woman said, as Trips continued to glare at her.

"Laugh it Miss Bralor, laugh it up," he said.

"As much as I hate to interrupt the family reunion," Llat Ward said, "But we have something of a...situation here."

Jango and the others became alert "What is it?" He asked.

"We got here a few hours early," B'arin Apma said, "While we waited for you, our sensors began picking up some strange readings from the Forrest Moon, so we sent a few troops to investigate."

"And?" Jango asked, "what did you find?"

"Well..." Bralor said, "It wasn't really what, but more rather who."

The others raised an eye brow at that. Before they could answer a soft and kind voice spoke up.

"I think it's best if I explained things," the others were surprised by the voice and before they could say anything, a figure stepped forward. The eyes of the Jedi then widened in shock and suprise. The figure was a beautifulwoman with blonde hair, caramel eyes, fair colored skin and pointed ears like a Sephi, and some tattos on her face that didn't mar her beauty. She was also wearing Jedi Robes, that acted like a dress.

"M-Master Fay?" Taylor asked, with wide eyes as he looked at the thought to be dead Jedi Master.

Fay smiled "Hello Robert, Jade, Taylor, everyone." She said, "Its good to see you again after all this time."

"B-But Master Kenobi said y-you died!" Robert said, pointing at the Jedi Master. "You died on Quetya! How are you still alive, and end up at Endor?"

Fay closed her eyes at that, "I'm not sure myself, Robert," she said, making everyone become confused, "All I remember, is after I passed my energy to Obi-Wan in order for him to escape the planet, the world around me turned dark," she then took a breath as the memory of dying was something she didn't like to talk about.

"But then, strangely, I awoke, still in the same place that I fell, the lightsaber wounds in my chest healed," she said and the other Jedi and everyone else was stunned into silence, "But I was still weak, and had to drag myself to a more safer place. Eventually, I was so tired I couldn't move anymore...then I remember being approached by a cloaked figure, then everything went black. The next think I knew, I was in the middle of a forest here on Endor. Since then, I had been helping out a local Ewok village, healing the wounded and sick, as well as helping them fend off predators."

The Jedi nodded at that, Fay was always the type to help people. They then notice her face turned somber.

"And then, just a week ago, I then began feel the deaths of so many Jedi," she said sadly, and the clones flinched at that, "I felt the fear and betrayal of those Jedi, and I knew that something terrible had happened. I wanted to find out what was happening, but I had no way off the planet until the Neo True Mandalorians came by today."

Fay then sighed "Then...they told me about Palpatine, and Order 66..." she said, "I didn't believe them at first...but then they showed me footage of what happened to the Jedi Temple..."

The Jedi, as well as the clones bowed their heads at that, Jade mostly as she was one of the few to return to the Tempe and saw the result of the 501st's attack on the Temple. Fay then continued speaking.

"Thankfully, they told me me that not all the clones have followed Order 66," The Jedi master said, "And said that large groups of clones have deserted with their Jedi Commanders," She smiled a bit "Out of everything I've heard, that was some of the best news I've heard in a while."

Masao smiled "Well, Master Kenobi will be surprised to see you when we return to Lehon." He said, "He's always felt a bit guilty for leaving you behind on that mission."

Fay nodded "I'm sure he will," she said before turning serious "So from what I've heard, you may need some assistance?"

The others went serious as well "Yes, we do." Aira said. "We're heading to Rhen Var to rescue a group of Clones who did not obey 66, along with their Jedi General. Their stuck on the planet, and they need to get out of there before the Empire finds them."

Fay nodded at that, "I'll help in anyway I can," she said, "I will help take care of any wounded they may have," she said and the others nodded in agreement.

"Right," Jade said as she nodded, but what Fay said next.

"I should also try to contact Teela as well," she said, and everyone blinked at that.

"Who?" Jade asked, and Fay smiled a bit "Teelay, she's my...unofficial apprentice." She said, "I came across her during my travels, where she was almost killed by a Dark Jedi. She was a Mandalorian mercenary, and for some reason the Jedi Order never recruited her to the Order. I've been training her ever since, well until I was 'Killed'. Last I heard, she was still with a band of Mandalorian Mercenaries."

Taylor crossed his arms at that, "And you didn't tell anyone this because..?" he said, and to their suprise, Fay smirked.

"I felt like wanting to screw with the Council's heads," she said, and everyone sweatdropped at that.

"Well...I'm sure she'll be glad to see you alive." Jango said, breaking the silence "Anyways, we should hurry up and head for Rhen Var, we don't have much time."

The others all agreed on that quickly, and after the NTM fleet joined with the Hades Corps Fleet, they soon reentered Hyperspace and made way for Rhen Var.

With the Slice Hounds

The ships of the Slice Hounds' fleet were traveling through Hyperspace to Raptor's Fleet near Teth. Along with the Prosecutor was the Trycinya-class Destroyer Tor Gra'tua, formerly the Saboath Destroyer Accursed, and another Trycinya-class, the Ge'tal Vode.

"Commander, we should be arriving at Teth in a few minutes." Orliss reported, and Marik nodded.

"Right, once we drop out, we'll launch our fighters and fight off the Imperial Fleet long enough for Raptor to make his escape." He said, "Then, we'll retreat, make a few extra Jumps so that the Empire doesn't follow us, and head back to Lehon."

Orliss nodded in understanding, a moment later, the fleet of the Slice Hunds exited Hyperspace. In front of them was a battle between between a Providence-class cruiser and it's CR-90 escorts, against an Imperial Fleet of 6 six ships, including those brand new Imperial I-Class Star Destroyers. Marik instantly recognized the Providence-class as the Perpatrator.

"Launch all fighters!" Marik ordered, "I'm going out as well," he then turned to Zule "You gonna come?" He asked, and Zule grinned.

"Why not?" She said, as Marik grinned back and headed for the hanger.

Raptor growled as he put his Ginivex-class Starfighter into a twirl avoiding the fire from a squadron of V-Wing Starfighters. He then turned the fighter in a 180 degree turn and opened fire, destroying the fighters quickly. 'Damnit, we can't keep this going for much longer!' He thought.

"Sir, we have additional Contacts on Sensors!" Came the voice of Torvic on the Comm.

"More Imperials?" Raptor asked.

"No sir," Torvic said, "We're picking up 16 Ships, including Zar's Flagship the Retribution, and the Slice hounds Fleet!"

Raptor was suprised to hear that, but at the same was grinning like he won the lottery.

"Now that's the best good news I heard all day!" Raptor as he continued to chase after more Imperial fighters. "Can you patch me through to Zar?"

"Already here," Zar's voice came through "Good to see you, buddy."

"You too Zar," Raptor said as he shot down an Imperial ARC-170. "Good to see you made it in time for the party. Though I'm surprised you brought Marik and the Slice Hounds with you."

"Hey, the enemy of our enemy is our friend!" Marik's voice came through, just as a Morningstar-B Starfighter and a Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor flew next to Raptor's own fighter. "Good to see your still kicking through, Raptor." Zule's voice said. "I'd hate for one of my rivals to be taken out by some amateur fighter pilot from the Empire."

Raptor chuckled "The feeling's mutual, Zule." He said, before turning serious. "Alright, here is our situation. The Perpetrator's Hyperdrive took some damage, but my Engineers say it shouldn't take too much longer for them to be repaired. We just need to hold them off for at least 15 more minutes before we can get out of here."

"We can do that!," Marik said, "Shall we Zule?" he asked his girlfriend who chuckled.

"With pleasure," she said and the two went after a group of Imperial V-Wings. Raptor shook his head at that.

"Show-offs," he said and then joined them in the hunt.

At Rhen Var

"INCOMING!" A Clone snow trooper shouted as a barrage of Artillery from the droid forces pounded their defenses. Yuki silently cursed as she saw a column of droids moving forward following the bombardment. They were informed by Telma that a Sepratist Fleet showed, and told her and Frost, to their shock, that General Grevious was alive and kicking.

An hour later, a whole corps of Droids landed 3 miles from their position, which included AATs, MTTs, Hallifire Droid Tanks, and CG Walker Droids. And they were all making their way towards their little base. Thankfully Telma sent her a few of her own troopers to help in the evacuation, and to hold them off.

"How much longer until we can evacuate?" Yuki asked as she deflected a few blasters with her lightsaber.

"At least 10 Minutes Ma'am!" Frost said, as he fired his DC-15A Blaster Rifle from cover. "Once that's done, we can catch a ride with the last transports and get out of here!"

Yuki nodded as she kept deflecting the blaster shots sent her way.

"It's going to be a long 10 minutes," she said, as Frost nodded in agreement.

"Indeed it will," the Clone said as they continued to hold their position.

Telma swore as her Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light Interceptor dodged fire from her persuing Vulture-class Droid Starfighters. "Dammit, Araniik Squadron, where the hell are you!" She shouted on the comm as the maneuvered around her own ships to try and shake off her pursuers.

It has been 12 Minutes since the 'Third Battle of Rhen Var' Began with Grevious and his forces coming in, and things were not looking so good for Telma and her forces. They were outnumbered, outgunned, and taking losses, several of their ships had already sustained considerable damage. Though they managed to sink a few CIS vessels, it just wasn't enough.

The Kiffar barrel rolled to avoid another barrage of laser fire from the droids chasing her. "Araniik Squadron, some help would be nice!" She practically shouted on the comm, but finally she got an answer.

"Don't worry Ma'am, Cavalries here." A voice said, and once she took a turn around on of the Victory II-class Star Destroyers, a squadron of Clone Z-95 Starfighters approached from ahead, letting loose with their wing mounted laser cannons, tearing apart the Vulture droids in quick order.

Telma sighed in relief "Took you long enough..." she muttered, and the Squad leader just chuckled "Well, better late than never, right ma'am?" he asked.

Telma gave a small smile at that, but then frowned as she looked as one of the Victory-IIs took some damage to it's conning tower.

'Dammit! If things continue like this, we're never gonna get out of here,' she thought, as the battle in space intensified.

"How are things on the surface?" she ordered, "How's the evacuation coming?"

"Bad, but it could be a lot worse." Reported Tor'kad. "Metal Face hasn't sent in the bulk of his forces yet on the ground or here in space, he's trying to wear us out. The Evacuation is going slow, but we should be able to get out of here in 10-15 Minutes."

The Kiffar Jedi sighed "We might not last 15 Minutes..." she said, "At this point, we need a Miracle."

But it was then, a Miracle happened.

"Ma'am we're picking up ships coming out of Hyperspace! 48 of them!" reported one of the clones on the Basilisk.

"Are they Sep reinforcements?" she asked as she blasted a couple of Tri-fighters into space junk.

"Hold on! Wait, they're...," before the clone could finish, a voice, that made Telma's widen in recognition, sounded on the communications.

"Hey Telma! Fancy meeting you here!" The voice of Jade Lee came through. "Looks like you could use a hand?"

"J-Jade?" Telma asked, in shock "Is that you?"

Jade giggled on the line "The one and only." She said, "Hope you don't mind I brought a few friends with me."

Telma could only smile widely at that, "Not at all Jade! As a matter of fact, we could use some help here with old Metal Face," she said, and she swore she could see the predatory grin on her friend's face.

"It will be our pleasure," Jade said, "We're launching fighters now, and transports and bombers are being sent to the surface to evac Yuki and Frost's boys out of there. We should have this wrapped up in a few minutes."

"Good to hear," Telma said, as her Interceptor turned around to engage the next formation of Droids. "Time to kick the tires, and light the fires."

With that, her fighter and the Araniik Squadron began to blast the enemy Starfighters to bits.

"Sir, enemy reinforcements, comprising of 48 ships, have arrived out of hyperspace," said one of the bridge droids, before being decapitated by one of the Cyborg General's lightsabers.

"I can already see that!" shouted Grevious as he glared at the new arrivals. Most of the ships he recognized by their color scheme as the Hades Corps, others had independent color schemes, but they were all enemies none the less.

'Blast it! This wouldn't be a problem if the Malevolance had its Ion Cannon installed!' Grevious thought. 'But those stupid Geonosians say it isn't ready to be installed yet!'

"Call in our reserves, and press the attack!" Grevious shouted. "These Clones and Jedi will meet their doom!"

On the Surface

Yuki looked from her cover to see the incoming Droid Army approaching their positions. Their forward defense lines had already fallen, and now they were all forced back to the outpost where the Transports were loading up the wounded and any supplies they could carry. But with the Droids approaching, it doesn't look like they'll be making out of there alive.

'So this is how it ends, hu?' She thought. 'Never thought I'd be taken out by Droids of all things.'

"Ma'am!" Frost said by her side, as he pointed to the skies. "Look!"

Yuki looked to where the Commander was pointing, and her eyes widened upon the sight of three squadrons of BTL-B Y-Wing Bombers with Crimson and Black paint schemes, along with several transports descended from the clouds. The Bombers dropped their payload of bombs right on top of the approaching droid army, tearing the mechanical menaces to shreds.

As the Bombers flew by and Transports landed, Yuki could clearly make out the symbol of the Hades Corps along the sides of the bombers and Transports. 'The Hades Corps?' She thought, 'When did they get here?'

It was after she said that, a of LAAT/i gunships landed a few meters from them. The side hatch doors opened, revealing Clone Troopers in the signature colors of the said corps who disembarked and headed off to take positions. When the last one that touched down opened it's doors, Yuki's eyes widened as she saw Jade and Trips exiting along with a group of clones.

Jade saw Yuki standing there, and she smiled as she approached "Good to see you Yuki," she said. "Its been a while, hasn't it?"

Yuki continued to look shocked for a moment longer before she smiled "Yes, it has." she said "But how are you here?"

"Me and the Hades Corps joined up with Ne'tra Kad a week ago, and we've been fighting the empire ever since." Jade answered. "We picked up your distress beacon, and decided to investigate, and get you and your boys out of here."

Yuki gave a sigh of relief at that.

"Thanks, I didn't know how much longer we were going to last," she said, and Jade put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't mention it," she said, "Now, lets get out of here, shall we?"

Yuki nodded and turned to Frost, who nodded and began issuing orders for the rest of the Blizzard Regiment to evacuate.

Soon after, with the Bombers covering their retreat, the Blizzard Regiment successfully managed to evacuate from the surface of Rhen Var, and entered the safety of the ships of the 495th Legion and the Hades Corps. Soon after, with the evacuation complete, the vessels jumped to light speed away from the planet, leaving behind a fuming grievous once again.

As an Imperial V-19 Torrent Fighter exploded, Marik's MorningStar-B flew through the fireball as it went after a couple of Imperial ARC-170 starfighters.

"Man! Are these guys Spaarti Clones? Their piloting sucks!" Marik shouted as he fired the blaster cannons of his starfighter at the two grey colored ships, destroying them.

"I'm beginning to think the same thing." Zule said as her Eta-2 chased down a trio of Imperial V-Wings. "I've fought Droids better than this!"

"I have to agree with Miss Xiss on that one," Raptor said as his Ginivex flew loops around several Imperial Fighters. "So those rumors about a second Clone Army is true then?"

Marik sighed as he began to engage another batch of Fighters "Ya, their true." He said. "Only these guys are born through Spaarti Clone Cylinders, so their not as well trained as you can see, but can be trained within just one year."

He heard Raptor sigh at that, "Then these clones are no better than droids," the Chiss Commander said, as he destroyed another V-Wing.

"I can now see why Cody was disgusted with this second army," he said as he looked around him, one of the Imperial Victory IIs was damaged and forced to retreat, another had it's observation platform destroyed, but is still fighting, the Venators had some light damage, but the two Imperial-class were a bit tougher to take on.

"How much longer until the Hyperdrive of the Perpetrator is repaired?" Zule asked, as her fighter barrel rolled to avoid a few shots from a ARC-170 team.

"It should be finished in a few more minutes!" Raptor said, "Once its finished, we'll slave our Hyperdrive to your fleets, and we'll follow you through the Hyperspace Lane."

Marik and Zule nodded their heads at that as they continued taking down fighter after fighter.

On one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, a certain man by the name of Wilhuff Tarkin, was glaring at the scene in front of him. The man had to leave the construction of the young Empire's first and greatest achievement. What that was, he kept to himself as even the rest of the crew aboard his flagship, the Sacrilegium, didn't know about it. But back to the current situation, Tarkin, who had attained the rank of Moff from the Emperor himself, was not one to shout in a rage like a spoiled child, but in this situation as he saw the fresh fleet that had arrived and preventing him in dealing a finishing blow to the Providence-class cruiser.

It took every fiber of his being not to scream in anger.

"Why have our forces not punched through their lines?" Tarkin demanded at one of the officers on the bridge.

"Our fighters are encountering heavy resistance from the enemy fighters." The Officer relied. "They are being torn apart, and their capital ships are preventing us from giving any form of adequate support."

Tarkin made a silent growl. Though he enjoyed that the new Spaarti Clones were trained and breed more quickly than their Kamino Brethren, this came at the loss of the experience that their predecessors had which made them famous. At this rate, Tarkin wouldn't mind the empire recruiting birth-born soldiers into their ranks, at least they were trained more adequately.

"Sir, the enemy fleet is preparing to enter hyperspace!" said another officer, and Tarkin's eyes widen in alarm.

"Stop them you fools! Don't let them escape!" he ordered.

"We can't sir, our fighters still can't break through!" The officer said, and Tarkin growled "Then track them!" He said, "Follow them through the Hyperspace route!"

Back with Raptor, he sighed in relief when the Commlink turned on, and the captain informed him that their Hyperdrive was repaired "All forces, return to the Perpetrator now!" He ordered. "We're getting out of here!"

"That goes for us too!" Marik said, "All Slice Hounds, RTB!"

With that the ships of the Slice Hounds, Zar's Fleet, and Raptor's jumped into Hyperspace.

Back on the bridge of the Sacrilegium, the bridge officer turned to the Moff with a look that clearly told Tarkin that they were unable to track them through Hyperspace.

"I'll be in my quarters," he said with a barely noticeable growl, "I want all bridge stations to work overtime in finding those ships," He then turned around and headed to said quarters.

"I must thank you Jade for your timely arrival." Yuki said as she meet with the leaders of the Hades Corps Fleet, and Telma. "If you haden't shown up when you did, I fear both the Blizzard Regiment and Telma's Legion would have been destroyed."

Jade just smiled "Don't mention it Yuki," she said. "Its what friends do right? Keep each other safe?" Yuki just chuckled a bit as she nodded.

"So, where we going now?" Telma asked.

"We're going to meet Taun We and Lama Su." Jango said, "Before we came to rescue you, we got a transmition from them, saying to meet them at a star system near the Unknown Regions. They say they have something that should help us out in our fight with the Empire."

Yuki rose an eyebrow at that, but nodded.

"Right," she said, "Also, how many other Jedi survived, and are there any other Clone Units that deserted?" she asked, as she and Frost saw everyone frown a bit at that.

"Well, so far we counted almost 30 Jedi total, including the Younglings, and with now yours and Telma's men, we have almost two Sector Army strengths worth of clones, plus Master Kota and his Militia, and not to mention all of Ne'tra Kad, the Neo True Mandalorians, and the Death Watch are on our side as well."

Though they were saddened that there were so few Jedi, they were all shocked that almost two sector armies worth of clones defected, Master Kota's Militia, AND the three factions of Mandalorians. "Force me, you guys sure have been busy." Telma said, as Jade laughed.

"Yes indeed," she said.

Telma then decided to ask her about her best friend, "Jade, what about Etain? Is she alright?" she said worriedly, and it was Jango who answered.

"She's fine," the bounty hunter said, "In fact she and the whole Skirata Clan were talking about you a couple hours ago before we left. Their all back at our base where the others are at. They've all been pretty worried about you, so they'll be glad to see you."

Telma smiled "Good, I was worried about them too." She said. "So, I guess were off to wherever we're meeting Lama Su and Taun We?"

Jango nodded "That we are," he said. "We're already on the right hyperspace route, so we should be there in an hour or two. I say you and your men should get some rest Telma, Yuki, they've earned it."

The two nodded, and left with their Clone counterparts to their quarters, to get some much needed R&R. Jade sighed and turned to Trips.

"Well that surely was a close one today," the Jedi General of the Hades Corps said with a sigh. "If we turned up later, we might have lost both The Blizzard Regement and the 495th Legion."

Trips just smiled "Well then, let's just be thankful we got there just in time." He said, and Vhonte nodded.

"Your right." She said, "So for now, let's just prepare to meet our Kaminoian allies. I am quite curious as too what Lama Su is offering us."

Everyone nodded at that, until Jade blinked in confusion as she unconciusly touched one of the pouches on her belt, and felt something was inside. Curious she dug her hand into the pouch and pulled out a cube shaped object that made her eyes widen in rememberance.

"Oh!" she said in surprise and everyone turned to her.

"What is it Jade?" Trips said as Vhonte, Aira, Taylor, Robert, and Jango also looked at the object, with said Jedi's eyes widening at the object.

"A holocron!" Robert said in surprise, "Where did you get that Jade?"

"From the Jedi Temple, when me and Trips went with Master Obi-wan and Yoda." She said. "While they were changing the message, I went looking for survivors, but then I found this near the archives. After all that's happened, I completely forgot I had it!"

"What's in it Jade?" Taylor asked, as Jade shook her head.

"I don't know, I haven't looked inside it yet," she said as she examined the small cube, "But judging by it's appearance, it looks to be very old, maybe thousands of years before the Ruusan Reformation," she theorized, as the others got a closer look at it, the cube looked to be made of bronze and copper, with a blue jewel in the center.

"Well, theirs only one way to find out." Jango said, and Jade nodded as she walked towards the holo-table, and inserted the small cube into the receptor. Thankfully, the cube was small enough to fit in, and it was accepted into the projector.

Soon after, the holographic image of a Woman appeared, a Jedi Master by the looks of her attire. She appeared to have shoulder length brownish red hair, with two little pony tails framing her blue eyes.

"To whoever finds this, my name is Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi Order," the woman who introduced herself as Satele said, causing the eyes of the Jedi to widen at the name.

"It has been at least 25 years since the end of the Great Galactic War, and five years since the Cold War ended," Satele said. "The Republic is slowly getting back onto its feet, but signs of recovery are being seen across the galaxy. But remnants of the Sith Empire are still scattered across former Sith Space. However, something's not right."

"The Sith Remnants are too weak, not nearly as large or as strong as the Republic believed they would be after the death of the Emperor." She continued. "After recovering some Imperial Records on their military, I discovered something odd. Numerous Sith vessels and Imperial Soldiers and Sith have, for the lack of a better description, have disappeared. Vanished without any indicator as to where they've gone. The Republic, and the rest of the Council believe that these ships were simply destroyed during the war, but none of the listed ships have been confirmed destroyed, and their crews never listed KIA, or even MIA."

They saw her sigh as she rubbed her tempels to rid herself of the headache.

"I tried to have this mystery investigated, but the Council in it's 'infinite wisdom'," she said as the others swore she rolled her eyes at that, "Overruled my authority, saying that more important matters are to be done"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at that. 'Looks like the council was just as arrogant back then as they were now.' Masao thought a bit bitterly, as Satele continued.

"You'd think they would have learned their lesson after this." She said, "Several times before, we thought we wiped out the Sith. Yet every time, we are proven wrong, they return, and nearly wipe us out. The Sith cannot be truly destroyed because the Sith are not just a species, they are a way of thinking, an way of life. For as long as the Sith Code exists, so will the Sith. A time may come where the Sith will once again return...and wipe the Jedi out, much like we did to them."

The others couldn't help but notice the irony in her statement and in their situation. 'I wonder what she would think now?' Jade thought, 'About Palpatine, and the Empire?'

"Anyways," Satele said, "There isn't much I can do about it now, all I can do is continue to lead the Jedi, and do what we can to ensure the Sith does not return. I discovered this very Holocron during the war hidden in the temple, which turns out to have belonged to an ancestor of mine, Bastila Shan, the wife of Revan. In the Holocron she has saved her own Diary in the Holocron, as well as her own Lightsaber Techniques. They have served me well during the war, and for whoever has found this, I hope that they will serve you just as well."

Everyone then became concerned as her face saddened. They then became suprised by what she said next.

"I...also hope that my son, Theron, would forgive me for not being there for him," she said sadly, "As a mother should have...End Recording." and with that, her image disappeared.

The others just looked on in shock and surprise "Satele Shan had a Son?" Robert asked, "Wow, who knew hiding relationships in the Jedi has been around for that long."

"Well, she was the descendent of Revan and Bastila," Taylor said, "And if I remember anything from what I've read up on them, its that neither of them took the Jedi Code too seriously when it came to relationships." He then took the Hologram out of the projector "This Holocron should prove useful, while we train the younglings on Lehon." He said. "The knowledge of the Grand Master of the Jedi Order during the time of the Great Galactic War, and the knowledge of Bastila Shan, who fought in the Jedi Civil War could prove invaluable during our fight against the empire. Not to mention her lightsaber Forms could be taught to the younglings as well."

Everyone nodded in agreement at that, since this knowledge would prove beneficial. Jade was also thinking about when Satele spoke about her son. She noticed the signs of tears in the woman's eyes when she spoke about her child.

'Why didn't the Jedi back then realize love doesn't lead to the Dark Side?' She thought. 'Why didn't they realize that our own rules were just causing more pain?'

"Something on your mind Jade?" Trips asked, noticing Jade's thoughtful expression.

"I was just...well I just feel a bit sorry for Satele," She said. "Not being to be with you child...I couldn't imagine how painful that must have been."

Trips drapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Neither would I. But I know, that once this mess with the Empire is over and the Jedi Order is rebuilt, many rules will change," The Clone Commander said, "Including the one on relations,"

Jade smiled at Trips as she grasped his hand in hers, happy that he was able to lift her spirits. Robert smiled, as he was happy his sister had someone to love, he sighed as he remembered one other person he had feelings for, but couldn't go on those feelings because of the damn code. But now that the Jedi are beginning to change, perhaps now he could finally be open about his feelings for her.

'Well, I can only hope Barriss feels the same way...' He thought, 'She didn't take too well to Luminara's death on Kashyyk well...'

The moment he finished that thought, one of the Clone officers spoke up, telling them they were approaching the designated coordinates.

In a few minutes, the fleet exited Hyperspace. Once they did, they were soon greeted by a planet with two moons orbiting it. It looked very similar to Kamino in a few ways, however there were more land masses scattered across the planet, and the planet did not seem to be in a constant state of raining.

"We're picking up a tranmition from the planet," a Clone on Communications said. "Its Taun We and Lama Su."

"Patch e'm through." Marik said, and the Clone nodded. Soon on the holoprojector, the images of the two Kaminoans appeared.

"Ah, Jango, I'm glad to see you have recieved my message," said the Prime Minister as he looked and saw the group the former Mand'alor was with, "And I see you brought along a few others as well,"

Jango nodded, "Yes, we had to pick up some other units who also didn't obey Order 66," he said, and even though it was faint, a smile was present on the Prime Minister's face.

"I never thought I would be happy that our Clones did not obey an order." He said, before he and Taun noticed Boba and Sintas "And I also see you and your wife have finally reunited with Boba." He said, "I am glad you managed to find him."

"So am I," Jango said with a smile "So, what is this help you say you can give us?"

"Right to buisness, you haven't changed one bit Jango." Lama said. "This will be better to discuss in person, please meet me and Lama Su in the Station orbiting the planet, Atlantia."

Jango nodded and turned to the helmsman, who acknowledged, and soon the fleet headed toward the planet and as they got close, they saw the station in Atlantia's orbit, a Haven-class medical station. The fleet stopped a good distance from the station, and the leaders used Nu-class shuttles to get onboard the station.

Once they had all landed in the primary hanger bay, they disembarked their shuttles. Some of them were surprised to see several Jango Fett Clones around in the hanger, working on other shuttles or Starfighters, but they knew Kamino must have kept some of the Clones they created for themselves for their own uses. They were soon greeted by Taun We, who was being escorted by two Clones wearing blue ARC Trooper armor.

"Glad to see you are all here," She said, "Please, follow me to meet the Prime Minister." The others nodded, as they followed the Female Kaminoan and her guards.

Not to long after, they soon found themselves in an classic Kamino-built office, where Lama Su was sitting down in his spoon-like chair. He stood up upon their arrival "Ah, it is good to see you all here." he said, "It is good to see you made it to Atlantia without too much trouble."

"Eh, we had to make a slight detour to save some more Clone Defectors and surviving Jedi." Jango said with a shrug. "So anyways, why did you call me and the others here?"

Lama Su sighed a bit, as he sat back down into his chair. "I will not lie to you, Jango." He said, "Things are not looking too good for the galaxy. Most clones still managed to remain loyal to Palpatine and his new Empire. And this new Spaarti Clone army is beginning to run our Original Clones out of business. The Emperor wants Quantity over Quality, and I believe he may even go as far as to begin enlisting normal birth-born humans."

Jango sighed at that, "Too true," he said, "But from what I saw of these Spaarti Clones, they make terrible soldiers, and it will take time and money for the Imperial Army to train birth-born humans,"

Lama Su nodded at that, "Yes, you are absolutely right Jango," he said, "But still, it may come to that, and the Emperor may come to believe Kamino and our own Clones have become...obsolete, and attempt to remove us from play."

"Take care of loose ends," Jade said with a nod "He wants to make sure you don't try to make Clone Armies for us."

Lama Su nodded "Indeed, you are right." he said, "And this is exactly the reason we are helping you know, so that my people will be safe should the Empire attempt to 'dispose' of us. This planet, Atlantia, is very well hidden from the Empire. It is a planet that only myself, Taun We, and a handful of other select individuals I trust know of its existence. We've created Cloning Facilities here just like the ones on our home world, and are prepared to begin the development and training of another Clone Army, just for your."

Jango, and the others looked at Lama Su in shock, they were going to make them another Clone Army? For them?

"A-A Clone Army?" Masao asked, shocked as Lama Su nodded. "Yes." He said, "Of course, it will not be ready until 10 years, but we can already give you 1,500 units we have already trained in our RAIL ARC Trooper Program."

"RAIL ARC Trooper?" Trips asked with a risen eyebrow.

"They are ARC Troopers, similar to the Alpha-class ARC Troopers, however they have been trained not for the Republic, but for the Defense of Kamino and her citizens." Lama Su explained. "We have been training them in secret ever since Jango became the DNA Donner for the first Clone Army. We have 20,000 RAIL ARC's in total, but most of them are guarding Atlantia or Kamino."

Jango smiled as he nodded "Thank you, Lama Su." He said. "A Clone Army could be what give us the advantage in a fight." Just then, an Idea crossed Jango's mind as he grinned "But...I think we may have to make a few changes to this new Clone Army."

Lama Su, and the others gained confused expressions until Lama Su asked "Changes how?"

"First off," He began, "You should try to not use the modifications to the Clones that make them more docile and susceptible to obeying orders, as well as their behavior modifications to instill absolute loyalty. Those are what bit us in the ass with the Grand Army." The others nodded in agreement, knowing full and well what could happen if a Clone were trained to follow any order.

"Second, I think we should expand the number of Templates used for the Clone's DNA." Jango said, surprising many of the others. "An army of just one guy, as awesome as I might be *ques sweat-drop from the others, especially Aira* is unoriginal, and having the DNA of other soldiers with varying skills will make them more unique from one another."

Lama Su thought of that for a moment "Hmm, I suppose that could be a good idea." He said, "But who could be the Doners for the DNA?"

"I Volunteer." Aira said, to the surprise of the others, even Jango. She just grinned a bit "Hey, it would be nice to have a few Female Clone Troopers out there, right?"

Vhonte and Rav grinned at that "That is actually a good idea, Aira." Rav said as she and Vhonte stepped forward. "We volunteer as well."

B'arin, and Llats looked at one another, and shrugged "Why the hell not?" Llats said, "We might as well do it as well." B'arin smirked, "I always wanted to have some clone troopers of me in my battalion," he said, but then blinked as he saw everyone giving him a deadpan look, "What? Oh don't you guys give me that look!"

Everyone sighed at that, a few even rolling their eyes. "Anwyas, I guess I should Volunteer." Arla said, as she stepped forward.

Lama Su instantly took in the odd resemblence between her and Jango "And...you are?" He asked.

"I'm Arla Fett," She said, a bit nervously "I'm...well I'm Jango's older sister."

Both Taun we and Lama Su appeared surprised at that "Really?" The Prime Minister said, "I do not reacal Jango mentioning he had siblings...either way, if you are anything like your brother, I am sure any Clones based off of you will be amazing soldiers."

Arla couldn't help but nod at that. Before anyone could comment, a hologram of an another Kaminoan appeared on the center of the room.

"Prime Minister, another fleet of ships have just come out of Hyperspace," he said gaining the attention of the others, "Their IFF confirms them to be vessels of the Slice Hounds fleet, the Death Watch, and a small fleet of Separatist ship."

"That would be Marik and Zar coming back from their mission to rescue Raptor and his boys." Jango said with a nod. "Go ahead and let them here, they need to hear this too."

Lama Su nodded and told the Kaminoan to tell the leaders to come aboard. It was 30 minutes later that Zar, Marik, Zule, Revan, and Raptor came into the office. They saw Jango smiling at them cockily.

"What took you so long?" he said jokingly, and Marik just rolloed his eyes "Sorry, we had to fight a whole freaking Imperial Fleet to get here." He said.

Raptor meanwhile, looked at the Bounty Hunter in shock "Jango Fett?" Raptor said, "Your alive?"

Jango could only smile, "Yep, and it's good to see you for the first time, Raptor," he said, as the Chiss continued to gawk, but managed to snap out of it.

"So, what is it that Lama Su wanted to talk to you about?" Marik asked, while Zar, Zule, and Revan were wondering the same thing.

"Apparently," Jade said, "Lama Su fears that the Emperor will no longer need his clone facilities, since he believes the Emperor will begin to use Spaarti Clones and birth Born soliders for the Empire. So, in order to get back at him, he will be creating a new Clone Army for us."

Upon hearing that, the eyes of the newcomers widened in shock "Another Clone army?" Revan asked, who appeared the most surprised.

"Yes," Jango said. "However, this army will be slightly different, since this army will not recieve the same modifications that make them obey any order given, making them more docile. They will be more Independent. Also, we plan to expand the Gene Pool of the Clones, and use new Templates so that my DNA is not the only one being used. Vhonte, Rav, B'arin, Llats and Arla have already volunteered."

"Hey!" Aira shouted, giving her husband a glare, and Jango sighed.

"And also Aira volunteered," he said, and Aira gave a smug grin. Marik blinked as he processed what he heard from his mentor. They were getting another Clone Army, but will include different templates. The young Mercenary could only grin at that.

"You wouldn't mind if I add my DNA to that list?" he said, "I think it would be interesting for a few Clones ot me to be in the army."

Lama Su shrugged "I do not see why not," he said. "You have proved yourself a warrior on numerous occations, on par with Jango. Your DNA would make a fine addition to the army."

"Might as well do it myself," Zar said with a shrug "And I'm pretty sure Nasha will want in on this, so I'll message her about it once we're done here."

"May I donate some DNA as well?" Zule asked, to the surprise of the others.

"Zule," Masao said, "You know no one can clone a Jedi-"

"Actually, we can." Lama Su said, catching the others of guard "We have done it before...twice in fact, both complete successes."

The others looked at Lama Su in shock "Y-You really Cloned a Jedi?" Jade asked, surprised as he nodded. "Yes," he said. "It happened during the early Clone Wars, when Genereal Rham Kota and his apprentice, Falon Grey, came to our planet, to heal his apprentice's wounds. When we did so, we took a sample of his DNA and created two force-sensitve Clone Troopers of his apprentice, X1 and X2."

Everyone was suprised by that, none more so than the Jedi. Jade could only imagine how Kota would react to this.

'Oh by the Force, Kota's not going to like this,' was her thoughts on the matter.

"So, where are these clones now?" Telma asked, clearly spooked.

"I do not know," Lama Su said honestly. "They could have obeyed Order 66, and are serving the Empire, or they did not and are hiding away somewhere in the galaxy. We lost track of them shortly after the order was sent out."

"It might be a good idea to contact X1 and X2, before Vader or the Emperor finds out about them."

"Soo...are you gonna take my DNA or not?" Zule asked, and Lama Su nodded "Of course," he said. "Perhaps some Jedi Clone Troopers could turn the tide in the war against the Empire."

"True," Masao said with a nodd "It may seem a bit unorthadoxed, but theirs nothing in the Order that says we cannot do this."

The others nodded, and Jade sighed "Well...ah heck with it, I might as well give it a go." She said with a shrug, and a smile "It'll be like having a whole bunch of sisters, right?"

"Oh god, that's the last thing we need..." Robert said, only to recieve the 'all to friendly' voice of Jade saying "What was that Robert?"

"Nothing!" Robert said as he backed away, causing many of the others to sweat-drop.

"O-kay," Bo-Katan said, "I might as well give it a go as well."

"And me as well," John said, stepping forward. "I honestly would like to see the look on Palpatine's face when he sees so many Jedi in our ranks in so little time."

The others grinned at that, knowing it was true. It was then they were interrupted by Jade's communicator on her vambrace. The Jedi General of the Hades Corps blinked and she answered the call.

"This is Lee," she said into the communicator, and the voice of Satele sounded.

"Jade, it's Satele, we just recieved a message on a secured Jedi Channel," the Admiral said as Jade's and everyone elses eyes widen in disbelief.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"I'm not sure," said Satele, "We're trying to clean it up, but the only thing we got was General Hiberno, and Alpha-30,"

Revan and John's eyes widened "I'll be damned, she's still alive!" John said, confusing the others.

"Who Master Cypher?" Zule asked.

"Toki Hiberno," he answered. "She's a good friend of mine, and is one of the top Jedi Fighter Pilots in the Order, second only to myself and Vader."

"I recognize that Clone Number as well," Revan said, "Alpha-30 Sull, an Alpha-class ARC Trooper...but he's been missing for over two years!"

Marik was thinking about that as well, "Come to think of it, I remember Sull during that mission to Dantooine, as well as an another Alpha named Tavo. Those two worked well as a team," Zule nodded at that remembering the two.

"Can you trace where the message came from Satele?" Jade asked.

"Already done," Satele said, "Its coming from the Amar System, home to the Amaran."

Masao hummed in thought "Amara is in the Inner Rim, rather deep in Imperial Territory." He said.

"Then we will be careful," Jade said, "We won't send the whole fleet, just a ship or two." She then turend to Marik "Marik, you think Sagan, Aubrie and the 7th Deep Infiltration Squad could get them out?"

Marik nodded "Ya, its what they were trained to do." He said, "I'll let e'm know. Then we'll take my G9 and head to Amar. If we're lucky, there won't be any Imperials in that area since it's not militarily important," he said and the others nodded.

"Alright, get going," Jade said and Marik nodded as he and Zule left the office and headed back to their G9. "In the meantime, when do you think you can get started on the new Clone Army?"

"Tomorrow, if we can get your DNA samples today." Lama Su said, "We can wait for Marik and Zule's samples until they return, but the sooner we begin, the better. "

Everyone nodded at that.

"Right, let's do this then," Jade and Lama Su told Taun We to take the volunteers to the medical bay where they will take samples of their blood. Lama Su asked Jango to stay behind.

"Also Jango, I have something that you need to take back to your base," the Prime Minister said.

Jango raised an eyebrow, but nodded "Sure, what is it?" He asked.

Lama Su reached into his pocket, and pulled out a handheld holoprojector. Clicking the button, and the image of a starship appeared. "Since the start of the Clone Wars," he began, "We knew that a day may come where Kamino could be overrun by a hostile force. For that reason, we made secret colonies in the unknown regions, all of them with their own cloning facitlieis, similar to what we did with Atlantia, however these colonies are small, and do not have as large facilities as Atlantia or Kamino. I also fear that a day may come where Imperial Spies may find this planet. For that reason, ever since the beginning of the Clone Wars, we have been working on this."

Lama Su handed him the projector, and Jango's eyes widened a bit at what it was "Is that...a Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught?" He asked.

"Yes and no," Lama Su answered. "Yes, it is a ship of the Mandator Star Dreadnaught line, however it is 4 Kilometers longer, and is not ment for Combat. This is the Angel of Kamino, a Mobile Cloning Ship."

Jango's eyes widened at that "A mobile cloning ship?" He asked, in shock as Lama Su nodded "Yes," he said. "It has facilities needed in order to create, and train small legions of Clone Troopers, while moving at the same time. This way, so that even if all of our hidden colonies and Kamino itself were overrun by the Empire, you would still be able to create your own armies. We have been working on this vessel in secret, we were originally going to give it to you and the Neo True Mandalorians, but I believe all of the resistance groups you and your allies command will need it."

Jango grinned at that, knowing that they have another edge against the Empire.

"I'll make sure it gets put to good use," he said, "Where is it?"

"It is on a base on one of the moons of the planet. Here are the security codes," Lama Su then handed him a code cylinder.

"Thanks," he said and pocketed the device in one of his belts. "We owe you big time Lama Su, I don't think we'll ever be able to repay you."

Lama Su just smiled "I do have just one request, Jango." He said. "Whenever you fight the empire...give e'm hell."

Jango was surprised by Lama Su's short and quiet outburst, but nodded all the same "With please, my friend." He said.

As soon as the others came back from delivering their DNA samples to the cloners. Jango announced it was time to go, and soon they returned to their shuttles and headed back to their respective ships. The Fleet then headed to the moon, after been given directions by Jango.

They soon found the base, that reminded Jade of Polis Massa, except it was bigger, and the large Hanger Doors which she guessed were twelve kilometers long. After recieving a communique from the Base, Jango transmitted the Access Codes from the cylinder, and after two minutes, the large doors opened up, and to everyone's, except Jango's, shock, was an 12 kilometer long Matador-type ship.

"Holy...what is that?" Jade asked, upon seeing the ship.

"The Angel of Kamino," Jango answered. "Its a modified Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught, only it has been modified by the Kaminoan's to serve as a Mobile Cloning Ship, Lama Su said it could train small legions of Clones on its own. And he's giving it to us."

Everyone else was shocked by this "Well...you gotta give the Kaminoans Credit," Zar said, "They sure know how to turn the tides in a battle."

The others all couldn't help but nodd at that, as the Angel joined their fleet, and they all jumped to Light Speed back to Lehon.

Patriot-112: Before we conclude this chapter, we would to show you a Omake we made for the Verpine Team and their involvement on Rhen Var!

Church: *Sigh* Do we have to show what happened on that ice cube?

117Jorn: Yes, we are, so stow it. Ryu! Run the tape!

Dragonknightryu: ok!

***OMAKE***

During the battle of Rhen Var, in order to cause a distraction to lure the Separatist away from the Blizzard Regiment, Verpine Team was sent to raid the Separatist Staging Area where their invasion force was being deployed. Since most of the droids were attacking the base, the deployment zone was rather undefended.

However, that turned out to be false as, not to long after being dropped of, Verpine was under fire by a company of battle droids, including B-1 and B-2 Modles.

"Damnit, where did these guys come from!" Simmons shouted, firing his DC-15A at the oncoming force of droids.

"Doesn't matter, just kill e'm!" Church shouted as he fired his rifle...and missed. "OH COME ON!"

"Man Church, you really do suck," Tucker said as he fired his DC-15S, nailing a few droids, "I bet you can't hit anything at close range,"

Church glared at his teammate for that, and then aimed his DC-15x at Tucker's head, who froze when he heard the clicking sound indicating the weapon was armed.

"You know what? How 'bout we test that theory, shall we?" the Cobalt armored Mandalorian growled out, while Tucker gulped, cursing his big, fat, stupid mouth. Church pulled the trigger...and missed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Church shouted, "THIS GUN SUCKS!" He then tossed it agaisnt the ground, which inadvertantly caused the rifle to discharge, bounce agaisnt a few rocks and ruins, and actually hit five B-1 battle droids in one shot.

"HA!" Church shouted, "Did you see that shot! I'm awesome!"

"It only counts if you called it!" Kari shouted from her position.

"Oh that's bullshit, dude!" he shouted only to get smacked upside the head by a rock, "OW! What the fuck?"

"I'm a girl you di'kut!" the adopted daughter of Lady Artemis shouted angrily, offended she was called a 'dude'.

Sarge just chuckled "Serves ya right blue." He said, before looking at his rifle, and ammo supply, and noticed he was getting low on ammo. "Griff! Toss me some ammo!"

"Ammo?" Griff asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Your suppose to be the one who carries the extra ammo Dumbass!" Simmons shouted, "We agreed in the staff meeting that you would!"

"Wait, we actually do stuff in those?" Griff asked, "I just used that time to sleep in my armor."

The orange color armored Mandalorian then felt everyone glaring at him. Well, except for Donut and Caboose who were doing Force-knows-what.

"You. Forgot. The ammo?" Cal said, clearly not pleased with Griff, who was really scared right about now.

"Uhh...I, uhhh," he said nervously, and that was the que that Cal needed as in a split second, and got in Griff's face.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Cal shouted as he slammed his fist into Griff's helmet, sending him skidding across the snow until he hit a frozen rock.

Cal then sighed "What are we gonna do now?" he asked, "We're almost out of ammo." Tex however, just grinned "Now...we improvise." She said, before her stealth field activated.

Meanwhile, the droids continued to advance upon the Mandalorian's position. The commanding OOM Droid looked through a pair of binoculars "We almost have them," he said. "Everyone continue the-" Before he could continue, something hit him in the head "Ow! what was that?"

One of the B-1 Droids turned around "What was what-whoa!" He said, seeing something glowing stuck on the OOM Droid's head.

"What? What is it?" The Command Droid asked.

"Theirs something on your head..." The B-1 Said, "Its looks like a...glowing Spider?"

"A glowing spider? Get it off me!" the OOM droid cried, gaining the attention of two more B-1s.

"Hey what's going-uhh, what is that?" the droid said, pointing at the glowing thing on the Commander Droid's Head.

"I think it's some kind of glowing spider," said the first B-1. "Its also making a weird hissing noise."

"Guys, get it off!" The OOM Droid said, "It could be danger-" He was cut off as the Hissing came to an end, and the 'Blue Spider' detonated.

"SON OF A BITCH!" The B-1 Battle droids shouted, just before they were all shot and destroyed from an unknown location.

Tex just grinned with her Stelth Field still on 'Never gets old,' she thought, and then turn on the rest of the droids using hand-to-hand combat to destroy them, while the screams of the droids are heard by the rest of Team Verpine.

"Ahhh! Mean lady!"

"Somebody help me!"

"Ah! She ripped off my leg!"

"What's happening!"

Verpine Team just watched this in shock and fear, "I actually feel a bit sorry for those Droids." Church said, and the others couldn't help but agree.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Patriot-112: Aaaaannnd cut!

117Jorn: Hey! Why did you stop? It was getting good!

Patriot-112: Sorry bro, but we have other priorities to do, remember?

117Jorn: Ah! Right, our other project.

Church: What Project?

Patriot-112: Well, me and Jorn agreed once we finished the next chapter of We Dared, we would start working on another fic we have been planning for a while now.

Sarge: What fic is that?

117Jorn: That...*Everyone but Patriot and DKR lean forward* IS A SECRET! *Everyone Sweat Drops*

Dragonknightryu: Well, that's it for this chapter.

Patriot-112: So until next time

Everyone: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Next Time on Star Wars: We Dared. As Marik, Zule and the 7th Deep Infiltration Squad begin to save Toki and Sull from Amar, the Resistance sends a strike force of Former Republic Commandos and ARC Troopers to asist the Wookiees of Kashyyky in their fight against both the Empire, and the Trandoshan Slavers who have attacked them time and time again. But during their mission, they may find more than htey bargened for...

Until next time, Stay Frosty!
