"Did I hear you say Kamino?" Obi Wan eyes opened with shock.

"Yes and I'm asking you would you like to accompany us?" Anakin asked.

"Alright, I'll come but first tell me why?" Obi Wan said finally after a short pause.

"Zett, you tell Master Kenobi why while I prepare the ship." Anakin said as he walked out of the Temple.

Zett watched as Anakin walked out before turning to look at Obi Wan "Master Skywalker said that in his timeline the clones stationed at Kamino staged a rebellion."

"So he wants to gather an army, clever." Obi Wan smiled to himself "Come along we should not keep Anakin waiting."

After bringing Padme to the temple healer, Anakin along with Obi Wan and Zett took off to Kamino. Anakin landed the ship with ease at a landing pad, Lama Su was there to greet them.

As they walked in the building to get out of the rain the first thing that Anakin spoke was "How are the clones I ordered?"

"Everything is on schedule Master Anakin." Lama Su replied.

"How many men do we have?" Anakin asked again.

"About 30,000 and these men as promised are not programmed to obey the order given to them." Lama Su said calmly as he pointed to the same balcony that Obi Wan once stood "Magnificent aren't they."

As Zett and Obi Wan stared at the troopers that were marching Lama Su introduced Anakin to the Commander of the army. "This here is Commander Herc and here is Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker."

"It's an honor to serve under you sir." Herc said as he saluted.

"Likewise but tell me what do you think of Palpatine?" Anakin asked.

"All I know that he's a traitor and must be eliminated." Herc replied.

"And what of the 501st legion?" Anakin asked again.

"They are traitors to the true Republic." Herc replied with confidence.

"And what of Order 66?" Obi Wan finally turned and asked.

Herc turned to Obi Wan and smiled "I was bred to serve the Jedis not murder them in cold blood. If you would only allow me I will set off with my men to hunt down the clones responsible."

Obi Wan put his hand on Herc's shoulder "I trust you Commander but don't blame me if I am being paranoid."

"I don't blame you sir, I would feel the same if I were you." Herc smiled in return.

"If all is settled let's go back to the temple." Anakin said breaking their conversation.

"I agree." Obi Wan nodded.

Together with Commander Herc, the four of them board the star cruiser that was waiting making sure to dock Anakin's ship as well. Zett stared in awe at the size of the cruiser it was his first time seeing one up close, of course he had heard his friends talked about it especially Ahsoka. Commander Herc seemed to notice Zett's amazed look before offering "Would you like to see the bridge?"

Zett eyes lit up like he was getting his first lightsaber "Can I master?"

"Go ahead just don't touch anything." Anakin laughed as Zett followed Herc to the bridge.

"He reminds me of you when you were his age." Obi Wan added folding his arms.

"What?" Anakin threw him an innocent look.

A few hours later the star cruiser neared Coruscant, Anakin knocked on Zett's door before entering he looked at the sleeping 10 year old before tapping him on the shoulder "Zett, Zett wake up."

"Huh? What? How did I get here?" Zett asked rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"You don't remember?" Anakin said as Zett shook his head "One of the troopers found you asleep in the canteen and brought you here."

Zett felt embarassed but Anakin cheered him up "Come now I promise that I will teach you how to fly a ship."

"Yes master!" Zett exclaimed as he hopped off the bed.

Anakin taught Zett the basics of flying a ship then it was time to leave the cruiser. As Herc had promised earlier he let Zett pilot the gunship to the Jedi Temple. Zett struggled with the controls and he felt nervous as there was ten people on board. The co-pilot encouraged him by saying "Come on sir you can do it."

"I can do it" Zett said to himself as he landed the gunship gracefully in the hangar of the Jedi Temple. Yoda was there to greet them as they exited the ship "Good flying I see there young Zett."

Zett smiled "Thank you Master Yoda but truth be told I was nervous."

"You did pretty well for a kid." Herc said as he came out.

Yoda eyed Herc for a short time before saying "Come to aid the jedi did you."

"Yes, General Yoda." Herc replied "I have 30,000 men all ready for battle and if I may I suggest that some of my men remain in the temple to defend in case of any attack by the traitors."

"Agree with you I do." Yoda answered his ears twitching.

"Alright Herc, go and gather your best men to be stationed here." Anakin ordered.

"Yes General." Herc replied as he head back to the gunship which took off once he board.

While Herc was busy preparing his men, Zett went to the padawan training room to train himself to fight. Anakin and Obi Wan watched as Zett deflected the lasers that the training probes shot at him. Anakin smiled to himself as he watched Zett destroyed 10 training probes all at once. Obi Wan stared at Zett for a long time as he recalled where did he seen that move before.

"He reminds me of you master." Anakin grin as he spoke.

"Wha-?" Obi Wan mouth opened.

"Don't play dumb you know that move don't you." Anakin smiled at a confused Obi Wan who only managed to say "I know I've seen that move before but I don't remember where."

"I do the move was invented by you." Anakin laughed.

"M...me, no you must have got it wrong." Obi Wan said in defence.

"Getting old you are Master Kenobi." Yoda said as he walked in "Skywalker is right you invented the move."

"I'm not that old." Obi Wan glared at a chuckling Yoda "My hair is still gold not white."

"Nearing 900 years I am remember things I do while you do not." Yoda pointed out as he hit Obi Wan with his stick.

"Now I remember." Obi Wan suddenly said once the stick knocked his head, Anakin rolled his eyes at how forgetful Obi Wan had become.

Zett smiled at his master once the last probe had been destroyed, Anakin went to greet him once he exited the traning room "You've done well."

"Thank you my master." Zett replied beaming with pride.

"Herc has come up with a plan to infiltrate the 501st base." Anakin said as they walked.

"That's good news." Zett replied.

"Yes but we need a distraction and you're not going to like it." Anakin stopped as he bend down to Zett's eye level "I need you to put these on." Anakin said as he handed him a set of binders.

"Alright I'll do it." Zett replied as he secured the binders around his wrists, he did not like the plan but he will still do anything to stop Palpatine.

Herc was waiting for them at the hangar as they approached, Herc went up to Zett "Don't worry you have me at your side."

Zett gave the commander a smile as they board the gunship, Herc told Zett the plan once they land they will escort him out while Anakin and the rest sneak in from the back. "Here goes." Zett said as they touched the ground.

"What are you doing with the jedi?" a 501st legion asked.

"Taking him for questioning than execution." Herc replied.

"I'll need the codes for this sector." the 501st legion said pointing his blaster.

"You don't need the codes for this sector." Zett said calmly.

"I...I dont't need the codes for this sector." the 501st legion lowered his blaster.

"Move along." Zett said grinning.

"Move along." the 501st repeated.

As they walked in the base a trooper asked with amazement "How did you do that?"

"The force." Zett replied with a smile "Now would anyone be kind enough to remove these cuffs."

Meanwhile Anakin sneaked in with a couple of Herc's men taking the down any 501st with ease. Anakin noticed Captain Rex and he turned to his men "I'll handle this." as he jumped in front of Rex.

"Hello Rex." Anakin smiled.

"General?" Rex pointed his blaster at Anakin.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Zett said as he appeared behind Rex.

Rex glanced around and he noticed that all the other 501st are dead and the next moment he realised that he was surrounded by twenty clone troopers. "Traitors!" Rex accused the other troopers.

"Who is the real traitor here Rex." Herc said as he pointed his blaster at Rex.

"Herc? What are you doing?" Rex asked in shock.

"Stopping the real traitors. Take him away!" Herc answered than ordered his men to drag Rex out.

"You know Rex?" Anakin asked.

"Yes general ever since we were cadets, I can't believe he betrayed." Herc clenched his fists.

"Being angry dosen't solve anything Herc." Zett said as Herc calmed down.

"Yes, you're right." Herc sighed "Now let's get out of here."

Once all Herc's men have evacuated the base, Anakin pressed a button on his comlink and in an instant the entire base exploded before their eyes. Zett stared at the now burning base before turning to his master "You know that this reminds me of Operation Knightfall." tears started flowing from his blue eyes.

"I know." Anakin placed his hand on Zett's shoulder.

"At least now we have avenged your fallen brothers and sisters." Herc added even though he wasn't there during Order 66 he could sense the pain in Zett's heart.

Within minutes, Herc's gunship docked at the temple hangar. Slowly everyone came out, each of them have a sad look on their face. Anakin, Zett and Herc walked towards the assembled jedis and with a weak smile Anakin said "We've avenged our brothers and sisters."

As the 501st had burned the bodies of the fallen jedis before Anakin could stop them. Everyone retired to their chambers to meditate on their loss and how they would ensure that none of this will happen again. Anakin closed his eyes and swore that he would do anything to protect what's left of the jedi even if it means sacrificing himself. Zett walked passed the remains of the Jedi Archives and stopped near the entrance and he recalled what happened during the attack.

"Zett run!" Ahsoka shouted to her friend "The clones have turned on us, I need you to leave the Archives!"

"What about you?" Zett asked igniting his lightsaber.

"I'll hold them off as long as I can, make sure the younglings are safe!" Ahsoka yelled again as she continued to deflect lasers with her twin lightsabers.

"But-" Zett protested.

"No buts, Zett promise me you must be strong." Ahsoka said calmly as the clones begin to retreat.

"I...I promise." Zett replied tears started to form in his eyes "Becareful Ahsoka."

"I will." Ahsoka gave him a wink "Now go."

Zett turned and ran out, suddenly he heard Ahsoka screamed in pain. He did not stop to check what was happening behind him as he ran out of the Archives. Zett managed to hid himself behind a pillar as he watched a hooded figure with his lightsaber drawn impale a young padawan not older than himself. He covered his mouth as he watched, his eyes opened with shock when the figure lowered his hood.

"Zett, are you alright?" Anakin asked as he noticed Zett kneeling.

"I'm fine master, it's just..." Zett wiped away his tears "This is where I left my friend."

"Who's your friend?" Anakin asked.

"Ahsoka Tano." Zett replied his head looked at the ground.

"That monster killed her didn't he." Anakin asked and Zett nodded his head "Come now padawan, it's no use kneeling and blaming yourself for something you didn't do."

"No, it's my fault if I hadn't left she would still be alive." Zett said his eyes were red.

"If you hadn't left you would have been killed and judging from Vader he would not have spared Ahsoka either." Anakin answered as he patted Zett's shoulder.

Zett looked up at Anakin and stood up "You're right master, now we must work together to bring down Palpatine and the senators who support him."

"Yes and that's what we are going to do." Anakin replied smiling at Zett as he noticed Ahsoka's force ghost smiling at him.
