Disclaimer I am not George Lucas nor am I a part of Disney, so now that we have straitened that out… I do not own Star Wars or its characters. I only own my OC's and the plot for this chapter.

Chapter 1- New Beginnings and New Faces

Shibaan (pronounced she-ban)

I was on the planet Endor and running for all my legs were worth, the droids that had attacked our clan where after me. The conversation that my clan leader and I had had before I ran, still rang in my ears, "Find the Generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, you must convince them to take you to the Jedi Council and tell them of our existence; tell them what clans are fighting for them as well as warn them about the clans that have sided with the Separatists!"

"NO!" I had shouted, "I'm staying here and fighting with you! We are all going to tell them as a Clan!"

Jauntues, our leader, put her hand on my shoulder and gave me a shake; "I'm not giving you a choice, Shibaan, now go!"

The memory faded and I was still running, behind me the droids were getting closer. To me this was no surprise; they were droids and didn't tire out like normal people did, they were incredibly dumb though. I guessed that's just a way of compensating, you get a mindless, order-following, loyal (if you can call it that) droid solider but they don't get any smarts. The only surprising fact was the clan that was leading them, Hyena Clan.

Their clan acted like the scavengers they were named after, always waiting until after a battle to scavenge things for themselves. It was disgraceful really, especially since our clan, Wolf Clan, knew how many members were a part of their clan and what combat skills they had mastered. You couldn't really blame them though, like all the people of my race, The Dragolians, we had an animal counterpart that we could turn into at will. To distract myself from the tiredness of my limbs, in my mind, I replayed the memory of why I was forced to run.

Jauntues pushed me away to show that she had finalized her decision and ran to go help our "sisters"; we always had called each other that, we were more like a family than a clan. I ran a little ways but stopped, I turned and stared at all my sisters fighting the oncoming army as well as the Hyena Clan, I felt torn between my loyalty to my sisters and the orders I had been given. The comlink on my necklace turned on, "What are you still doing there, Shibaan, get moving; we're not holding them off so you can stare!" I felt some tears well up in my eyes, they knew and I knew that they stood next to no chance against an army of that size combine with a clan of about thirty members.

"Do this for your sisters. Come on." I scolded myself and so I turned around and ran, trying to find a wooded area, which this planet was famous for, where I could hide and think about my next move.

This pretty much put me up to date on where I was now. I had taken several turns trying to throw the droids off, and it worked. The sound of metallic footsteps had receded and I could no longer hear them, I can hear pretty far as well as smell and sense things better than a normal human can due to the nature of my counterpart. After five more minutes of running and jogging, I found the wooded area that I was looking for. Turning to the woods I swore I saw five figures following me, they were about one hundred yards away. I stopped for a second; I couldn't make out if they were my sisters or the enemy clan. Wanting to believe it was my sisters, I decided against staying here to find out. I knew that I shouldn't take the chance. At this moment the odds were more in favor of it being the enemy anyway; I started running again.

I veered left and ran toward a densely packed area of bushes and shrubs, hoping that this would make whoever was following me lose my trail. Out of all the possible landscapes in the galaxies, this forest had the kind of terrain I was built for. I felt my counterpart, a black wolf, rising; I didn't fight the transformation and in no time I was running on all fours. I had almost forgotten how good it felt to feel the earth beneath my paws and the wind through my fur.

The new feelings put a new-found strength in my limbs, I suddenly felt tireless, wild, and free. Shaking the feelings away, I reminded myself of the mission I was on. I stepped lightly, I prided myself knowing that when I used a "shadow step" that my tracks were almost invisible.

Try finding me now. I thought to myself, now I was actually half hoping that it was the enemy and that they did find me so I could beat them to a pulp for attacking my sisters.

After running for at least two hundred more yards, I heard a snapping in the trees above me and the rustling of bushes behind me, the trick hadn't worked. Now was the moment of truth, I knew that I was either going to see my sisters come out and appear before me or it was going to be members of the Hyena Clan. I gave a sudden stop, changed back into my human form, and pulled out the twin daggers from their sheaths, I always had them with me and for quick sheathing and drawing out; they were always strapped on the small of my back, and prepared to fight.

Two forms dropped from the trees in front of me and three forms came from the brush behind me. I slowly looked at them all, they weren't my sisters.

Anakin Skywalker

I had zoned out of my masters boring conversation about the landscape of this planet and was thinking about the scouting mission I had sent Rex, Fives, Echo, and my padawan Ahsoka on.

"Are you even paying attention Anakin?"

I snapped out of my thoughts "Wh-, Oh yes, of course. Nice trees."

Obi-Wan sighed, "I wasn't talking about the trees Anakin."

"I know, I was just saying that I know what you were saying and that those trees look nice." I said pointing to a grove of small green trees.

They kinda do look like pine trees actually, now that I look at them…

"Yes, well, you'll have to look at trees later then. I am feeling a, how do I put it, well a strange feeling in the Force." Obi-Wan said rubbing his beard; he always did that when he thought.

"I feel it to. It's not the dark side though. It feels more…wild, a controlled wild though.

"Hmm, yes, I hope we find the thing that is putting this feeling in the Force. I would like to study it, if possible."

Oh, my master and his studying.

"Why would you want to study it? What if it is a tree or something, you can't bring the tree or whatever it is with you."

I looked at Obi-Wan, and then I saw movement behind him. I looked over his shoulder Rex, Ahsoka, and the others had come back from scouting.

"Well Rex, what did you find?"

"There were signs of a droid army near the valley about ten miles away from here, sir. They had some people with them to, we saw their foot prints, there where a lot of them so we decided to come back here and see if we could engage the enemy."

"Ok, good work."

I turned to my master, "Do you think we should try to track the footsteps? We could probably catch the droids by surprise."

"Maybe whoever is with the droids is causing this strange feeling or it could very well be a new weapon... I think we should go track them down."

"Could you show us the way Rex?"

"Yes sir."

I started to follow Rex up in the lead while my master stayed a bit behind to talk to Ahsoka.

"Did you feel a strange feeling in the Force while you were there?"

"Actually I did, it was strange wild feeling. The longer we followed the tracks of the droids and whoever they were with, the stronger the feeling got."

I have to admit the feeling is really strange and I want to find out what was the cause of it is but are we sure the thing that is making the foot-prints is the thing that is even relevant to the feeling. What if it is just a…an… an Ewok? No that doesn't make any sense, the droids would have no need for Ewoks.

Just as I was thinking about all the possible things it could be, someone or something landed from a tree right in front of us.

Ok, so this is my first fan fiction ever posted. So please Rate and Review, comment, suggestions, anything. Sorry about not putting Ahsoka in the plot to much. More about Shibaan and the clans will be in the next chapter. Oh yes I wanted to add the Wolf CLan leader isn;t me. The reason the leader of Wolf Clan has my name... She has my name because all the Wolf Clan members are based off my different sides, emotions, and stuff like that. So yeah. Rate and Review. Thanks! :)
