Chapter Two
Joharno coughed, wiping the dirt off of his face. Smoke covered the area, blocking his view of Kaykay or Commander Fangs. He slowly stood up while a constant ringing noise was present in his head. Joharno stumbled towards the crater that was present in the ground and saw that nothing was lying in it. He looked around, noticing the bright green paint on Commander Fang's armor and slowly made his way over to it.
"She's alright." Fangs choked out. He was sitting underneath one of the overgrown mushrooms with his helmet sitting next to him. Joharno looked over at Kaykay who was lying on the ground, unconscious. Her beige Jedi robes were covered in dirt, and her raven black hair remained in a ponytail.
"Let's get her up." Joharno said, cautious of Fangs. The clone nodded and the two lifted Kaykay up, each putting an arm of hers around them. The two slowly carried her through the smoke and remained under the large fungus' that covered most of the planet.
"Did you see who threw it? I didn't get a good look." Fangs told the mercenary leader. Joharno gave Fangs a suspicious look and then nodded.
"I got a good look." Joharno told him. The two continued to carry the Jedi Knight across Felucia until they reached one of the largest mushrooms the planet had on its surface. Joharno made Fangs hold Kaykay fully while he wiped dirt off of a large metal hatch.
"What is that?" Fangs asked, lifting up Kaykay so she wouldn't slip out of his arms. Joharno pulled out a metal circle and attached it to the door. It made a small ding and slightly popped open. Joharno lifted it more and then looked back at the clone commander.
"Let's move clone." Joharno said.
Joharno dropped down into the hole first. Kaykay was lowered down to him, and he laid her down on a table that was inside the small dirt cave. Fangs dropped in right after, and the hatch remotely shut behind him. He put his helmet down on the ground and looked around the cave.
Standing right in front of him was a Duros with dark blue skin. He had an eyepatch over his right eye, along with a navy green jacket. Multiple pouches were on the Duros' utility belt that held up his black pants. He pointed a blaster at Fangs who quickly raised his hands. Fangs looked over at the other creatures in the cave and was shocked to see some of them.
One was a female togruta with orange skin and blue eyes. Her montrals were white with blue lines, which were also the same for her head tails. A pair of goggles hung around her neck and she wore a black leather jacket that was cut short, showing off her stomach. She also had on black pants with brown combat boots on. A blaster pistol was holstered around her waist.
The togruta was kneeling down, cleaning off a purple and white astromech droid that was quietly beeping.
The next person Fangs saw was a wookiee. A female wookie to be exact. A feather hung from the wookie's hair and a red sash was across the wookie's chest. She held a bowcaster and let out a loud growl towards Fangs.
"Ah shut your trap Inbu." a male rodian said. He looked over at Fangs and gave a small head nod. The rodian was green with dark blue eyes and he held a sniper blaster rifle. He wore a white jacket with a black undershirt, along with navy green cargo pants. He also had on a navy green backpack and boots.
"Put the blaster down Ghost." Joharno told the Dorus. Ghost looked at him, let out a small grunt, and then put his blaster down.
"So this is your- what are you doing?" Fangs asked in the middle of his sentence. His hands were pulled behind his back and then tied up by Joharno who sat him down on the ground.
"Your men were the ones who threw the grenade. I'm not letting you walk around all willy nilly." Joharno said. He looked over at his group and swirled his finger around. The group of mercenaries huddled together.
"Grenade? What grenade?" the togruta asked.
"It's fine Rosa. Don't worry about it." Joharno said to her. He looked over at Ghost and the rodian.
"Ghost. Grees. I want you two to keep look out for any clones coming this way. Somethings wrong. Very wrong." Joharno told them. The two nodded in response and split apart from the small circle. The astromech droid let out a small beep and Joharno looked down at it.
"How ya doin' A6?" Joharno asked it with a smirk. It let out another small beep and Joharno put a hand on the top of it. "That's great."
"So you're just going to keep me here?" Fangs asked. Joharno looked over at him and shrugged.
"Seems like that's the plan for now. My mission is to protect that Jedi. At least until the credits stop coming in." Joharno answered. Fangs sighed and leaned back against the dirt wall of the underground base and closed his eyes.
"Men, you saw the same thing I saw. The jedi wasn't dead, and neither was our so called 'fearless' leader. We can't rest until those two are dead. Both are traitors to the Senate." Oly ordered to the eight men that were following him.
"Yes sir." they all responded.
"Scour this disgusting planet until you find where they ran off. They can't have gotten far." Oly said. The clone squadron began to spread out while Oly hung back at the barracks to oversee the mission.
"Commander Oly. I quite like the sound of that." Oly said with a smirk. He turned, causing the doors to the barracks to slide open, and went inside.
