5 clone cadets are in the training arena practicing for their final test. 2 bounty hunters are monitoring them, their are 2 bounty hunters for every 5 squads to train more clones faster. The clones are almost half way through.
"CT-4753! Duck!" One shouts, the clone obeys as a bolt whizzes over his head.
"Thanks Ace!" He replies and continues knocking down droids.
The bounty hunters, a Twi'lek and Human, begin to talk.
"These guys are slow." The Twi'lek says.
"Yes but they are extraordinary at getting the job done Cartner." The Human replies.
"They never leave a droid active, bit like you Qi, back in the day." Cartner adds.
"Would you look at that! Even in such a high level of difficulty, Heavyfire is able to clear a path. He's a beast with that gun!" Qi points out.
"And the one they call "Ace" and CT-4753 are headed to the left turret tower. those two are inseparable. The simulation will be over soon with those two at the tower." Cartner warns.
"That name is new, why do they call him that?" Qi asks.
"He's never been hit." Cartner answers. "Sniper and CT-4755 are headed for the right tower now. They're also an inseparable pair."
"That one rarely misses, but CT-4755 can't aim for shit. He's amazing in the medical field and hand-to-hand combat though." Qi adds.
"CT-4753 is pretty stealthy, could make a great scout one day. They're definitely the most diverse group the most diverse group that can still work together. Unlike Domino squad." Cartner says with the last sentence in disgust.
"And on top of that they're on the second highest difficulty in the program. Them and Xerox squad. Not many squads can do that in their start training. I believe the last time that was done, was Cody's squad." Qi reminds.
In the arena CT-4753 prepares his extension cable to scale the tower and take hold of the turret. He fires the cable and starts to climb. Ace gives Sniper the all clear signal and the two prepare to scale the right tower. The droids are starting to close in on Heavyfire, he's just a few feet from the citadel. CT-4753 reaches the top of the tower and throws the droid off the edge. He opens fire with the turret on the droids surrounding Heavyfire. Sniper and CT-4755 are now in the right tower, Sniper shooting them down with his rifle while CT-4755 fires the turret at the droids. Ace reaches Heavyfire and they work together to reach the citadel with heavy cover fire. Sniper knocks down the guns and turrets on the citadel and Ace launches his extension cable, he starts to scale the citadel.
"We got all the droids yet?!" He asks Heavyfire.
"Yup! It's all on you!" Heavyfire replies as he releases a full round of bolts into the last droid.
Ace reaches the top and grabs the beacon, another victory for Neon squadron.
"Neon squadron to the observation deck." Qi orders over the speakers.
Neon squadron obeys and within a few minutes they're standing at attention with Qi and Cartner right in front of them.
"At ease." Qi orders and the clones relax. "We'd like to congratulate you on your victory. Your performance once again, was phenomenal. We also have a question for you."
Cartner intervenes. "The test tomorrow is a level higher than normal for normal clones, however you guys have already exceeded expectations and don't need to up your level. But you can if you want to, it'll be a unique experience and a great thing to put on your resume so you aren't stuck on Rishi forever. Up for the challenge?"
"We haven't had a good challenge in quite sometime." CT-4753 says and puts his hand forward.
"If he's in, I'm in." Ace replies and sticks his hand on top of CT-4753's.
"Sounds like fun!" Heavyfire says patting his weapon then putting his hand over Ace's.
"The more targets the better." Sniper adds and puts his hand over Heavyfire's.
Their a pause for a moment and they all look at CT-4755. He's concerned his aiming skills aren't ready for a challenge like that, but slowly he puts his hand on top of Sniper's.
"Perfect! The Generals will be happy to hear this!" Qi announces.
"Now get some rest, you'll need it for sure." Cartner orders.
The clones solute and march to the barracks. When they get there no one else is inside.
"Guess their still training." Sniper suggests.
The others don't answer they just get to their bunks and rest.
6 hours later, they're awaken by shouting. The five open their bunks so they can what's the matter. CT-4753 gets out of his bunk and heads towards the shouting. It's Echo and Droidbait. Again.
"If you would just shut-up for once!"Droidbait shouts.
"At least I'm not always the first one shot down unlike somebody!" Echo shouts back.
The two raise their fists.
"Hey! Hey! Break it up!" CT-4753 shouts, stepping in between the two. They've drawn a crowd now.
"Or what? You'll tell the Jedi?" Echo mocks as he punches him in the side, knocking him to face Droidbait.
"You're nothing but a wimpy scout, constantly reporting every little bit of trouble." Droidbait adds, punching him in the gut.
He falls to the ground. At that, CT-4755 jumps off his bunk while the others don't interfere. Echo goes in for a kick at CT-4753. CT-4755 trips him up before he can kick him however. He then grabs Droidbait and flips him over his shoulder. Then he pins the two to the wall.
"I would like to get some sleep before the final test tomorrow and I recommend you two do the same before you become fish bait and all that we'll have to remember you is your echo." CT-4755 warns.
"Ye-yeah, good idea." Echo replies.
"Good" CT-4755 says as he drops them.
The crowd disperses with murmurs of how CT-4755 got them good. Echo and Droidbait stand up and climb into their bunks. CT-4755 helps CT-4753 up. "You okay CT-4753?" He asks.
"Yeah, and the name's Scout."
In the morning Neon squadron prepares for their final test. Qi shows up and they immediately stand in attention.
"I have come to escort you to docking bay E." He says.
"Sir, where's Cartner?" Scout asks, knowing he was asking what the others were thinking.
"Escorting Xerox squadron, they will also be participating in the same test. We got a good batch this time for the most part." Qi replies. "Alright, follow me."
As they walk past the docking bays, Scout can't help but be anxious, he sees several high commanders and captains with a squad of their own men with them. Sniper begins twitching his fingers and everyone in their squad can hear CT-4755's heavy breathing. If these commanders and captains are monitoring the basic test, some huge Republic commanders and captains must be there for them. Ace starts sweating in his hands, in fact they're all anxious and nervous except Heavyfire. He actually seems excited for the test.
"Aren't you nervous?" Ace whispers to him.
"Not at all, I'm pumped. I memorized the layout of every single simulation, just follow me and we'll be just fine." Heavyfire reassures.
"Alright..." Ace says unsure.
They reach docking bay E where Cartner and Xerox squadron are waiting at attention. They join them in attention as 6 Republic LAAT's land in the docking bay. The passengers exit, and stand at attention at their LAAT, except 4 who get closer to the cadets. Neon squadron all are very confused as to why there were 30 clones troopers at each LAAT except the first one which had the 4 that got closer along with 16 clones's.
"Your test awaits aboard that LAAT." Qi starts. "These four will be the people you take orders from. Understand?"
10 "Yes sir"'s are immediately heard in unison.
"From left to right these leaders are; Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody." Cartner informs.
Rex steps forward. "You two squadrons are the best squadrons in the training course and have accepted the challenge. Neon squadron, Xerox squadron, you're with me and the other leaders in the first LAAT, let's move out!" He orders.
The squads obey and the LAAT's take off. Inside, Cody briefs the cadets on their mission. "Where we are headed is not in the simulations, similar terrain but all new objectives and all new droids." He warns.
"Nervous now?" Ace mumbles to Heavyfire.
"Juuust a little bit." Heavyfire says clenching his gun.
"We'll be on the field as well, with some of our best men." Cody assures. "This test isn't really a test however. A platoon of droids, under the command of General Gervious took over the outpost controlling our power in all the major Kamino cities yesterday. We need it back."
"We've got 180 of us now and you guys will join us on the raid. Rex has all the details." Anakin adds.
"The mission is simple, clear the outpost of all of the droids. Xerox squadron, when we launch our attack the droids will start to push towards our transports. We'll have most of the attention but not all of it. You will be required to defend the ships. Neon squadron, once we're inside you 5 will go on a stealth mission to the control room and disable the shields that block us from getting to the rest of the outpost. We're stuck in the landing bays if you can't disable the shields but we have confidence you 5 can do it. Once the shields are down you will join us for our final assault in the arena where Grievous and his bodyguards will be waiting some important things for you guys to know, Super Battle Droids have rapid fire and stronger armor, however if you hit their head it's an immediate kill. Commando Droids are swift and agile. One good hit and their down, but their lethal with any kind of weapon, don't let them get close. Droidekas have a shield that stops quick movements, however, slow movements pass right through it. The bodyguards are just droids with electric staffs. Chances are you'll survive one or two hits, anymore and you are toast. Alright men, we're getting close, good luck!" Rex informs.
The next few minutes are pretty tense, no one says a word and just prays that they won't have their ship shot down. Sniper is beginning to wish he hadn't taken this up and that CT-4755 was right, they weren't ready. Heavyfire was the only one who was distracted. He was still caught up on having to be on a stealth mission. Not his forte. Scout would have to lead this one, and Heavyfire was used to him or Ace taking up that role. Now, he is nervous.
The landing was surprisingly easy to get to as if they weren't expecting such an early ambush. As the LAAT doors open, they're met with immediate heavy fire. The clones react immediately, pushing forward to wipe out the droids. The Jedi jump in front and start protecting the clones. Heavyfire watches as another clone in blue armor with a machine gun like his pushes forward in front of the Jedi. Heavyfire instinctively follows him and joins him for the push.
"Welcome to combat!" The clone says to him.
"Thanks! I'm Heavyfire, pleased to meet you!" He replies.
"Same to you! The names Hardcase, now follow me!" Hardcase orders.
Hardcase runs straight at the droids and Heavyfire follows closely. They dive behind some crates, now they're behind the droids.
"The others know what we're up to but still remember to be careful!" Hardcase says as he prepares to shoot the droids from behind.
"Eh, carefulness is over rated!" Heavyfire says as they open fire on the droids.
They're in the open but the droids don't have time to react and are quickly shot down before they can face the 2 heavy's. As the last few droids fall, the medics start collecting the dead and wounded.
"Sir! 14 deaths, 20 wounded. All the cadets are fine." One reports to the Jedi, Rex and Cody.
"Thanks Kix." Rex says.
"Alright this is where Neon squadron comes into action. Neon squadron! It's go time!" Cody orders.
Neon squadron solutes and heads to the vent where they were instructed to climb through. They didn't send everyone through the vents as they would be slaughtered one by one if they were to be caught. Scout is in the front, it's a tight squeeze but they make it through the vent slowly.
"Do you know where your going?" Ace asks Scout after they take another turn.
"A clone named Waxer gave me the directions. Left, right, left, left, right, left." Scout replies.
"Alright..." Heavyfire says uneasily from the back.
"How much further do you think it'll be?" Sniper asks Scout.
"Definitely another 5 minutes at least." Scout answers.
"How far from the vent is the control room?" CT-4755 asks.
Heavyfire knows the answer to this one. "This vent will actually take us right inside of the control room."
"Expect a few commandos down there. The vent will drop us from the ceiling, the commandos will be surprised for a moment, we'll have to act quickly!" Ace reminds.
"Shouldn't be a problem." Heavyfire replies.
"Guys we're close, quiet down." Scout warns.
"I got a bad feeling about this..." CT 4755 says.
Everyone grows quiet as they travel through the last little bit. They reach the grate and they all stop.
"Here goes nothing." Scout whispers as he lifts up the grate. "Now!" He whispers.
The 5 jump out one at a time and open fire on the commandos. 5 ironically survive and target each of Neon squadron. Scout and Ace stick together as the droids jump at him. Scout gets pinned to the wall by a commando. Ace and his commando are interlocked in hands. Scout raises his gun as he struggles to breath. The way his arm is pinned he can't shoot his own commando but he can shoot Ace's. He fires, killing the commando. Ace immediately tackles Scouts commando and shots it. Scout falls to the ground and Ace goes to help him. Sniper and CT-4755 fire at their commandos as they close in on each other, the droids start jumping everywhere, Sniper hits his while CT-4755 tackles the other and shoots it. Heavyfire tries to shoot his but his gun is knocked out of his hands by the droid. Heavyfire tries fighting it with his fists but it's hopeless. The droid starts to strangle Heavyfire and raises it's gun right as Ace shoots the droid.
"Guess you're a little too reliant on your weapon." Ace jokes.
"Shut up Ace." Heavyfire snorts.
"Alright, let's see here..." CT-4755 says, brushing his fingers over the buttons.
"One of these switches or buttons disable the shields..." Scout adds.
After about 10 minutes of searching Sniper finds it.
"Uh... slight problem..." Sniper says.
"What...?" Scout asks.
"The uh... switch is uh... broken. The droids must've destroyed it." Sniper reports.
At that moment Ace receives a comm-link call, Rex is calling. He answers it.
"The droids are slowly pushing forward and we starting to take casualties! Have you got to the shield controls?" Rex asks.
"Uh, sort of?" Ace replies. "The uh, droids kind of... broke the controls."
"Don't worry though! We have a plan. I can take down the shields from the docking bay. I was reading some of the controls and what they do before hand. It's like a pass time to me." CT-4755 says.
"Do it." Rex says and hangs up.
"Well, back into the vents." Heavyfire sighs and pushes CT-4755 into the vent. The others follow.
As they rush back through the vents Sniper and Scout can't help but feel nervous as they may have jeopardized the assault. Ace knows that the only shut down to the shield was the one that's destroyed. He's confused as to CT-4755's plan.
"CT-4755 what's your plan?" Heavyfire asks.
"The shield is used for lock downs to keep droids out. However the clones inside have their DNA inside the shield memory. So theoretically if one of us were to run into it, it should go into override and the shield should go down." CT-4755 answers.
"Don't you think the others would've tried that?!" Heavyfire shoots back.
"No one has ever tried. If I'm wrong I die." CT-4755 replies.
"Is it worth the risk!?" Heavyfire asks.
"To save our home? Hell yeah. It is." He answers.
After he says this they reach the exit and CT-4755 acts immediately. As he runs towards the shield Ace starts to run after him. Heavyfire stops him.
"He's got a plan, he knows the risk, he's saving our home..." Heavyfire says.
As he runs towards the shield, several clones try to stop him, but he shoves them all out of the way. "Live to fight another day boys." He says and runs into the shield. A loud sizzling is heard between the shield, and all of CT-4755's armor immediately incinerates into ash, but he himself makes it through, the shield turns off and he collapses. The clones charge through the newly created pathway. Xerox squadron carries CT-4755 to the rest of the injured clones. As they leave Sniper catches one of Xerox's members arm.
"Keep him safe." He says.
"We'll do what we can." The clone says.
"What's your name?" Sniper asks.
"CT-4752, my nickname is Tick." Tick answers.
"Well than "Tick" let me put it this way. I will personally end you if he dies." Sniper says and runs to join the others.
In the front of the pack, Rex, Cody and the Jedi run as Ace catches up.
"Why'll we were in the control room we found where all the droids are positioned. If we enter the arena, the droids that are hiding in the lower levels, will encircle us inside there and wipe us out. If you were to send some of our forces towards the droids that are hiding then we could take Grievous down easier and we stand a better chance at success." He informs to the Jedi.
"I like your thinking, Cody, take the clones and remove the droids. Rex, you, your squad and Neon squadron will come with us." Obi-Wan orders.
The clones nod and Cody gives the order. Cody and the others leave down to the lower levels of the outpost. Heavyfire loves the idea that on his first mission he'll get to kill one of Grievous's bodyguards. From what he's heard, most clones will never even get that chance. Hardcase is there next to him, along with two other clones. Kix, the medic from earlier, and a clone with the Galactic Republic emblem on his helmet.
"Who's he?" Heavyfire asks Hardcase, pointing at the other clone.
"He's Jesse, you'll never meet a more skilled clone on the field." Hardcase replies.
Next to Jesse is Scout, Scout was definitely anxious. Grievous was part of his first mission. Scout must've been doing something to tip Jesse off that he was nervous because the clone started talking to him.
"Hey, don't worry, if you screw up chances are I'll kill them before your dead. You may be a little damaged though." Jesse jokes.
"I take it your sense of humor is all you got going for ya?" Scout jokes back.
"Try and keep up cadet! The names Jesse!" Jesse informs.
"Please! This is to easy! I'm Scout!" Scout replies.
"Droidekas! Cover now!" Rex shouts.
The clones react immediately ducking to the sides behind pillars while the Jedi start deflecting the droidekas laser blasts. Ace watches as Rex does some strange hand signals to Jesse and Hardcase. Hardcase hands them both droid poppers. Rex and Jesse start to sneak closer to the droidekas and they roll the poppers into their shields. The poppers go off and the droidekas disable.
"Super battle droids incoming!" Heavyfire warns.
The Super battle droids move in with brute force, overwhelming the clones. Scout had never seen a droid that could withstand so many blasts. There are to many of the droids and on top of that, normal battle droids are moving in from behind. Cody and the others must have missed a few of the hidden squads.
"Pop 'em now!" Rex orders.
Hardcase throws 2 poppers at the super battle droids and 2 at the battle droids. This demobilizes half of the droids.
"Sir we only have 3 left. Do we save them for the Grievous or do we take down the rest of the droids with 'em?" Hardcase asks.
"I don't think we have a choice!" Anakin answers.
"Throw 'em Hardcase!" Rex orders.
Hardcase smiles and throws the poppers wiping the rest of the droids out.
"Let's move!" Obi-Wan orders.
They reach the arena elevator and try to open it.
"Locked, blast!" Kix shouts frustrated.
"I may be able to bypass it if we have a little bit of time." Scout offers.
"Do it." Anakin orders.
"Yes sir!" He replies.
Obi-Wan activates his communicator. "Cody, we've reached the arena and are attempting entry now. How are things over with you?" He asks.
"Good sir! We're almost through! We've taken heavy casualties though, only 23 of us remain fit for battle. Most of us are alive though, some are pretty roughed up." Cody reports.
"Keep it up, once you've finished off the droids, collect the wounded and get out of here." Obi-Wan orders.
"But sir, what about you?" Cody asks.
"I'm sure you won't fill all the LAAT's, leave 2 pilots and a few clones to be ready when we come back. With Grievous." Obi-Wan answers.
"Yes sir, Cody out." Cody responds.
"Sir! I got the door open! However, the elevator isn't working!" Scout reports.
"Guess we're climbing." Anakin says.
"Scout, stay here and fix the elevator. Jesse, you stay with him." Rex orders.
"Yes sir!" The two reply and Scout gets to work.
The rest of their team goes through the ceiling hatch in the elevator, fire their extension cables and starts to climb the elevator shaft. As the clones climb up, Sniper and Kix take up the rear.
"So, what happens if they cut the cables?" Sniper asks.
"Well chances are you die, unless your friend Scout can get the elevator to rise." Kix replies.
"Wait, what about the droids in the arena that are part of the simulations?" Ace asks the generals.
"I've been doing a little work and the droids should be attacking the bodyguards and Grievous as we speak." Anakin answers.
"Very good sir." Ace replies and they continue to climb.
As they get closer, the sound of blaster fire gets louder and louder, then it stops.
"Well your little toys didn't do to well did they?" Obi-Wan jokes.
"Hey, what can you expect? They're droids." Anakin replies.
The team is very close to the top when they hear the doors to the elevator from the arena open.
"Faster men!" Anakin orders.
The clones pick up the pace but Grievous peeks over.
"General Kenobi! Skywalker!" He says.
"Pleasure meeting you here, in our home." Sniper snorts.
"What's this? 3 cadets? Make that 2!" Grievous says and cuts Snipers extension cable.
He screams as he falls but Obi-Wan catches him with the force and lays him just above the elevator.
"2 heavy's? That's to many!" Grievous taunts and cuts Hardcases extension cable.
He is also caught by the force.
"Kenobi!" Grievous shouts frustrated.
Obi-Wan reaches within just a few feet of Grievous. Grievous cuts the line and as Kenobi falls he forces pushes Grievous right into the observation tower. Then Anakin catches him with the force. Obi-Wan lands on top of the elevator with Sniper and Hardcase. The elevator moves up about half way then stops.
"Great, now we're stuck." Sniper says as Obi-Wan jumps into the elevator and Hardcase starts to follow.
"At least get inside the elevator in case it goes the rest of the way and you're flattened." Hardcase points out.
"Yeah yeah." Sniper replies.
Anakin and the 4 clones finally reach the top of the elevator and begin to open fire on the bodyguards. Ace shoot one of the bodyguards in the head and it falls off.
"Ha!" He shouts celebrating his kill when the droid starts to attack him again.
"Oh kriff!" Ace shouts and continues to fire at the headless droid.
"Rex, do you think you can deal with these guys?" Anakin asks.
"Yes sir, we'll take care of them." Rex answers.
"Alright, I'm going for Grievous!" Anakin replies and jumps up to the observation tower where Grievous is recovering.
Heavyfire had never predicted how tough the bodyguards would be. He was running out of ammo and he knew it. Kix seems to be doing well with his droid. He has the droids staff and the droid was starting to go ballistic. Rex and his droid are now engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and well Ace is, held up. Ace jumps on top of the bodyguards back and grabs its staff and knocks it out of its hand. The droid flips Ace over his shoulder and starts trying to punch him but Ace is dodging them. Heavyfire throws his gun at his own droid, knocking the staff out of its hands as well. He goes for punches but both his fists are caught by the droid in a dead lock. Rex kills his droid and so does Kix. Ace grabs the severed head of the bodyguard and jabs it into the bodyguards chest, killing it. Heavyfire jumps and kicks his droid, ripping the arms out of their sockets and stabs them through the bodyguard.
Back in the hall, Scout works at the controls while Jesse patrols the halls. He sees a bodyguard droid and he immediately hides in cover. The droid sees him as he hid and so the droid attacks him, punching him in the gut and holding him and in a head lock with its staff. Jesse lets out a groan and this gets Scouts attention from the other hall.
"Jesse? You okay?" He asks.
"Yup! Everything fine!" Jesse says as he struggles to breathe.
"You sound a little exasperated. What happened?" Scout asks.
"Yeah just catching up with the mission, heh. Just get that elevator working." Jesse answers.
"Alright..." Scout says.
Jesse jabs at the droid with the his gun, causing it to release him and drop its staff. Jesse catches the staff and impales the droid with it. Jesse relaxes and walks back over to Scout.
"I got the elevator working, should we get up there?" Scout asks.
"Negative. The elevator is already moving and if Grievous gets there first we have to be ready to catch him, weapons set to heavy stun." Jesse orders.
Back in the arena, Grievous jumps out of the tower missing 3 arms. He starts running for the elevator and the clones open fire on him. He jumps and kicks Rex and Kix while Heavyfire throws his gun at Grievous and Ace hit the cyborg in the back, causing him to stagger. Anakin jumps from the tower and chases Grievous, the cyborg reaches the elevator which opens, where Sniper and Hardcase are waiting with Obi-Wan. Grievous lets out a shout of frustration and uses his lightsaber to quickly cut a circle in the floor. He falls down the hole with Jesse and Scout waiting who also open fire on him. Scouts laser bolt is deflected by Grievous and hits him in the arm. Jesse's bolt hit Grievous in the arm, causing him to lose his arm. He kicks Jesse back into the wall and he runs to the emergency escape room, where he jumps into an escape pod and launches it into the sky, using his feet to drive.
Back in the docking bay, what's left of Xerox squad and a few other clones are holding off the last few droids left on the base. An escape pod passes by and a few clones turn to fire at it but are shot from behind, killing them.
"Denal! Duck!" One clone shouts.
Denal ducks and a torpedo passes right over his head. "Thanks Kano." He says.
"Hawk, prepare to take off, the Jedi will be here soon! Waxer, Boil, use the last of our droid poppers to take them down! Kano, Denal, sneak behind the droids and fire on my mark. Xerox squadron, provide cover fire for them! Go! Go! Go!" Cody orders.
"Yes sir!" The clones reply.
Waxer and Boil start throwing poppers while Denal and Kano sneak behind the forces, the popper take down just over half the droids.
"That's all of them commander!" Waxer informs.
"Now!" Cody shouts.
Denal and Kano open fire on the droids from behind.
"Now we got 'em!" Denal celebrates.
The docking bay doors open and the Jedi run in with the rest of the clones, swiftly destroying the last few droids.
"I assume by the look of it, you didn't get Grievous..." Cody says.
"We've got, well, just under half of him." Obi-Wan replies and Scout holds up Grievous' arms.
"On the bright side, all of the escape pods have tracking beacons." Kano reminds.
"Yeah, uh Grievous must've had his droids remove them before we arrived..." Scout adds as he checks the control panels.
"Great, just great." Rex says sarcastically.
"Well, at least we've got this outpost back." Hardcase says.
"Yes, in that sense, the mission was a success." Obi-Wan answers.
"Well, then let's prepare to head back to the facility." Anakin says.
"We lost three members of our squad." One of Xerox squadron reports.
"Only myself and Trick survived." The other adds.
"As unfortunate as that is, the two of you, along with Neon squadron are now officially soldiers of the Galactic Republic!" Obi-Wan congratulates.
"Thank you sir!" The 7 reply.
"Alright, lets go home boys!" Rex orders.
The clones and the Jedi board the LAAT and it takes off. With the cadets now shiny's, their journey, has only begun.
