Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Home is worth fighting for. Enjoy the 2100-Word chapter. I don't own Star Wars, Disney and Microsoft do.

(Kayria, 4 BBY.)

Kayria was a planet which was prepared for war, it had fought the Separatists with the help of the Republic years prior.

It was because of this that both their army and navy had intercepted the Imperials… It hadn't escalated into war yet… But Renan had a feeling it would.

"Why would they come here… Why!?"

Renan asked as he sighed, it had been 1 day since the Empire had arrived and he worried.

He turned to look at his hand and he removed his glove, Bella was sleeping, he didn't want to disturb her.

"Maybe some fresh air would help…"

Renan muttered, he patted his holster where he kept his RSKF-Heavy Blaster.

He turned to look back at the room where his wife slept, he frowned.

Then he turned and walked out into the city below, unaware that today would be much different then he thought.

(With Nhia.)

Nhia hated the Empire, she hadn't hated them for a while…. But when they had invaded her home, her hatred grew till it swamped her mind.

"This is just what I needed…."

Nhia muttered as she looked at the sky, the Kayria navy, which had dispatched 4 CR 90s, 4 Nebulon B Frigates, 3 old Acclamator class assault ships, 3 Consular-class cruisers.

And she chuckled: a Venator-class Star Destroyer to confront the 5 Star destroyers and their support ships.

She had no doubt they had a larger force around, Kayria had bought a lot of Republic surplus from what she heard and they had been preparing for an invasion from the Separatists since they were invaded.

She turned and began to work again on the Shade, the old YT-2400 Light Freighter and her and her 2 friends needed to be ready to leave, Kayria would soon be a powder keg.

(With Bela.)

Bela yawned as she felt around for Renan, her husband wasn't sleeping, she yawned and slipped out of bed before starting to walk barefoot to the kitchen.

"Renan?"

The Togruta asked as she yawned, she reached out in the force for her husband and felt his signature in the force in the town below.

She also saw a holo on the table and she walked towards it, Renan had made fresh food and coffee before leaving, she saw.

She used the force to levitate a cup of coffee to her before pressing the holo.

She smiled as her loving husband appeared in the hologram as she leaned against the railing.

"Hello my love, if you are seeing this, vie left for town to get some fruit and supplies…. I… Thank you for talking to me last night, I realize I was rash to assume the empire had come just for us…. I swear to the force I'd be lost without you… I should be back soon… I love you."

Renan said in the recording as Bela smiled, she looked down at her ring she wore on her hand.

It was made with a Green Kyber Crystal that they had gotten on IIum, he had said it looked beautiful with her.

"And yet it was forbidden…."

Bela whispered, they'd married above Kiros on a station, Bail had organized it before they went on the run.

She didn't regret her marriage to Renan, nor did she regret her feelings for him, they had fallen for each other while fighting side by side in the war.

She worried about him though, Renan was brash and eager to face his enemies to protect people close to him… She could still keep him in check, he had never once distrusted or had a problem… And for that she was glad.

She wondered where her husband was, unaware that she and her husband would be thrust back into their roles as peacekeepers within 2 hours.

(With Renan.)

Renan pulled his Starhawk speeder bike to the side as he stepped off and tugged at his bag, he began to walk into town as he looked around.

There was militia soldiers and Stormtroopers all over, the army of Kayria had intercepted the Imperial soldiers, but a few had patrols hadn't been able to be intercepted.

Renan didn't understand why the Empire had been brought here, this planet was remote, out of the way, it wasn't worth fighting an entire military over.

So, what had brought the Empire out here if not for him and Bela?

He pushed these thoughts from his head and went to buy fruit, he patted the satchel at the side that also held his saber, the very weapon that all Jedi were shot on sight for holding.

He turned and started to get the supplies, hopefully the Empire would just leave and Sidious and Vader would decide the planet wasn't worth it and leave.

He turned and frowned, a squad of Stormtroopers was talking to people and checking houses, the Miltia soldiers following them didn't seem to bother them.

Another squad made him frown, a male Cathur, a feline like species, and a female Trandoshian were being bothered by them and most people were ignoring them.

He put the Meilooruns in his satchel and walked towards the squad of Stormtroopers.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Renan asked as his hand dropped to his side, the 4 Stormtroopers turned to look at him.

"Move along citizen, this doesn't concern you…."

The Stormtrooper commander said as a squad of Militia soldiers arrived.

"Step off the citizens, Imp, we told you, we aren't making a deal with the Empire! You can leave us alone!"

The Lieutenant of the Squad barked as he leveled his rifle at the Stormtroopers.

"Grand Moff Tarkin sent us here, you want to bark at anyone, take it to him."

The Stormtroopers said before an explosion went off in the distance.

A GR-75 hit the ground as the Miltia turned to each other.

"The Imps have turned warlord, evacuate the civilians!"

Another squad of Miltia in the distance said before blaster bolts began to ring out.

Renan reacted, before he could stop himself, he had already reached for his side.

The Blue Blade of his lightsaber snapped up and cut through the rifle of the Stormtroopers as they turned to face him.

"Jedi, kill him!"

The Stormtrooper Commander yelled as the Cathur and Trandoshian turned and ran, Renan force pushed the Imperials away as explosions began to light up the sky.

Renan turned, put his saber back on his belt and drew his blaster pistol as more Stormtroopers began to emerge, apparently their plan had been to take over the city if talks broke down.

Renan had to get to Bela, he needed to make sure his wife was ok, he didn't notice the Z-95s, ARC-170s and A-Wings alongside other fighters duking it out with TIE Interceptors or TIE fighters.

Nor did he notice the YT-2400 Light Freighter rising up, he hopped on his Starhawk and gunned the engine as the speeder bike shot away, several Imperial Troop transports, a squad of Speeder Bikes, 4 TIE Fighters and 4 Lambda shuttles chased him, so did the Freighter…

And so, did the Cathur and Trandoshian, leaving the Kayria soldiers and the Imperials to fight.

(Aboard the Shade)

"Damn Imps are still chasing us!"

Hilac stated from the YT-2400's gunner station, he fired at the TIE Fighters from the turret.

Nhia sighed, of course there was a Jedi here, first the Imperial Fleet shoots down a GR-75 for not following their rules, then a Jedi is spotted in the marketplace… And now they were being shot at for fleeing.

"Just keep the TIEs off us…. If there's a Jedi, the entire Empire is going to chase him down!"

Nhia yelled as she spun the Shade before firing and shooting down 2 of the TIEs shooting at the Star Hawk speeder as the rider cut the brakes before firing on one of the Imperial Speeder bikes as it crashed and exploded.

"He's defiantly a Jedi, no way a normal guy could pull a dodge against an entire Imperial Squadron…"

Nhia muttered as she began to prepare the Shade for landing.

There was no way in the coldest depths of Mon Cala that she would let the Empire kill another Jedi.

(With Bela.)

Bela had known, it wasn't long after she had changed to her normal clothing that she had known her husband was in danger. She had packed their stuff, which they had barley been able to unpack and placed it at the door.

"Renan…"

The Togruta said before her husband roared up, his black hair and Jade eyes were wild with concern.

Then the Stormtroopers came as 4 Lambda shuttles landed 80 Stormtroopers which stormed down the ramp and pointed their blasters at Renan who brandished his saber.

Bela sighed, 10 or so years of running… She smiled before opening the door.

"Get away from my husband… If you'd please."

Bela stated as she drew her saber as she made her way to Renan's side. The brilliant Green blade complimented Renan's blue one.

"Two of them?! Kill them both! Kill the Jedi…"

One of the Stormtroopers yelled before a burst of gunfire cut them down, the Cathur looked down his Valken-38 rifle.

"Blasted Imps!"

The Cathar hissed as the Trandoshian fired her ACP Repeater, downing a few of the Stormtroopers as she launched a Thermal Detonator at the shuttles, it exploded and took all 20 Stormtroopers around it.

Renan dashed and cut down 3 Stormtroopers as they turned to fire at the duo, he turned to see 2 of the shuttles explode as a Corellian YT-2400 Light Freighter set down among the carnage.

"Get on!"

A Miraluka shouted, he fired a DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol at the Stormtroopers as Bela circled and slashed 2 Stormtroopers who rounded to shoot at Renan.

"You want to die here!? Get the hell on and let's go!"

The Miraluka asked as Renan turned to the others before rushing the ramp, Bela motioned for the Cathur and Trandoshian to do so as well before she went aboard, the Cathur and Trandoshian turned and opened fire as the freighter fired and destroyed 2 of the troop transports before lifting off and gunning it in the other direction.

Renan looked at his and Bela's home, he looked at his wedding ring before turning and walking towards the cockpit of the freighter.

"Hang on, we're breaking for orbit, the Miltia scrambled fighters, their take care of the TIEs."

Renan heard as he walked to the cockpit, he didn't see Bela but he saw the Cathur and Trandoshian along with the Miraluka.

"Who are you? And what just happened?"

Renan asked as he put his saber on his belt, his blaster was still besides him.

"Nhia, Nhia Tasco, the Miraluka is Hilac… I don't know about his last name… We're the good guys."

Nhia explained as the white skinned Mon Calamari flipped the freighter over a Star Destroyer which was being fired on by ground forces, perhaps a turbolaser tower.

"Your Rebels…"

The Cathur said as Nhia gave the Cathur a smirk, she wore a white pilot uniform with black gloves.

"And you aren't? You all just attacked Stormtroopers and killed them… As for what happened? The Empire shot down a GR-75 Medium Transport to force the Kayria army and naval forces… They wanted to make it look like the army had engaged them so they had reason to take the planet…. The fact that a pair of Jedi were there is just going to make things much worse…."

Nhia explained as Bella and R5 entered the cockpit, Renan turned to his wife before turning to Nhia.

"Where are we going now?"

Hilac asked as Nhia turned to face the group, she pulled a lever and the Shade jumped to hyperspace.

"To a place where we can fight the empire… We can't go back to Kayria for now… For now, we fight…"

Nhia said as Renan clasped Bela's hand as the Human Jedi turned to the Togruta.

"As long as I'm with my wife, I'll help you…. So much for running…"

Renan stated.
