Above Felucia, Xanatos and Adenn travel to rescue the Jedi Knight Sary'illa Halcyon.
"Preparing to land Captain." the clone trooper pilot said to Adenn, his voice went out from the cockpit as he spoke.
"Excellent work." Adenn said, slapping him on the shoulder, "Master Xanatos, are you familiar with an orbital drop?" Adenn asked, strapping on his pack.
"Yes, trooper." Xanatos said, standing up, and putting on a helmet, "Where will we be dropping?"
"Roughly ten miles away from the Felucian Droid base." Adenn said, "We'll be dropping shortly." Adenn said, sliding open the door to the lartie.
"I'll drop first." Adenn said, loading an energy charge into his M5, "Banzai!" he yelled, jumping out of the lartie.
"Thank you trooper, you'll here from us soon." Xanatos said, leaping out of the lartie.
Adenn plummeted to the ground of Felucia, followed by Xanatos, who landed gracefully to the ground, using the force.
"Nice." Adenn complimented, walking through the thick underbrush of Felucia.
"Do, you have a map for me Captain?" Xanatos asked, taking to a knee.
"Yes, sir." Adenn said, opening up his datapad, "Were here..." he pointed, "Here's the droid compound." Adenn said, "Roughly ten miles."
"I see." Xanatos said, "Well, we should probably get a move on." Xanatos said, walking in the direction of the droid base.
"Right behind you, sir." Adenn said, M5 in his hand.
Jedi Master Xanatos, and Captain Adenn moved through the jungle terrain of Felucia, with a number of flesh eating beasts, countless bounty hunters, and force-using Felucians, the odds were clearly stacked against them.
Meanwhile somewhere else on Felucia.
[] [] []
Four Republic Commando's pinned down sunk deep into the cover of a fallen tree, "This is Lance to base, reporting in from Alpha Team, does anybody copy over?"
Lance took cover, as bolts of red lasers flew passed him.
"Sir, we can't keep this up!" one of the RC's named Fang yelled.
"Hold the line!" Lance fired his DC-17 at the Felucians, and the droids.
"This is base." Lance's helmet filled with static, "What's your current position?"
"About nine miles away from the droid facility!" Lance yelled, reloading his DC.
"Well, looks like you're in luck." base said, "I have an ARC Captain, and Jedi Master in the area, I'll relay them the info, but no promises."
"Just hurry!" Lance yelled.
Alpha Team was tasked with the destruction of the CIS base, or droid base in Felucia, the one of many bases. The team consisted of Lance, team leader, Fang, demolitions, and weapons expert. Tal, best pilot, and strongest sniper on the team. And another commando that the members called, 'Di'kut.'
Meanwhile back, with Adenn and Xanatos, Adenn received a message through his helmet COM. "Captain Adenn, this is Base, do you copy?" Base asked.
"This is Adenn, I copy over." Adenn replied, stopping in his tracks.
"Alpha Team is pinned down, approximately one mile from your current position, I'm sure you here the blaster fire."
"Elek," Adenn replied, "I hear it...you want us to give them a hand?" Adenn asked.
"If Master Xanatos gives permission by all means..." Base said.
"Copy, thanks for the info." Adenn said.
"Command out."
"Master Xanatos," Adenn said, walking close to him, "I have a team of Republic Commando's pinned down about a mile from our position-"
"Say no more..." Xanatos raised his hands quickly, and odd expression on his face.
Adenn clenched his fists in and out, "Sir, they're-"
"Going to die? Not when they've got a Jedi Master, and ARC Captain to help them out." Xanatos smiled. "Let's get those boys out of there."
"Right away sir." Adenn smiled beneath his helmet, running to where he heard blaster fire.
Xanatos, and Adenn rushed to the battlefield, Adenn first on the scene, with his M5 aimed down the scope, switched to the full-auto setting.
"Looks like the cavalry is here boys!" Lance cheered, as Adenn quickly mowed down several droids with his M5, blue blaster bolts shredding through the bots.
"ARC Captain, Adenn." he introduced, ducking into cover.
"Lance, RC-1453." he introduced, "Leader of Alpha Team sir!"
"They'll be plenty of time for introductions later," Xanatos said, igniting his lightsaber, "For, now...we fight."
Adenn couldn't help but grin beneath his helmet...maybe Xanatos wasn't such a bad guy after all, maybe Adenn had misjudged.
Adenn popped out of cover, and fired his M5 at the incoming Felucians, blue, yellow blood splattered the floors as the Republic Commando's laid down heavy fire.
"They're retreating!" Xanatos yelled, as he force pushed some of the droids back.
"Advancing!" Lance yelled, vaulting over the overturned tree trunk, Adenn, and his squad right behind him, meanwhile Xanatos stayed back behind cover.
The ARC Captain and RC's made quick work of the droids, exploding them one by one. It was the Weequays that were giving them trouble, there were so many, and they were much smarter than their droid counterparts.
Suddenly, amidst the fray, a rocket droid took aim at the Jedi Master from afar. "Kill the Jedi..." the droids automated voice said, firing the rocket launcher.
"Master get down!" Adenn yelled, noticing too late, there was no time to think...there was only time to react. Adenn quickly threw off his helmet, along with one by one, his shoulder pieces, and his chest pieces, leaving only his gauntlets. The troopers noticed Adenn looked much different then them, bearing no resemblance to Jango Fett...
Adenn vaulted over the tree trunk, the rocket headed straight for an unaware Xanatos, "Master!" Adenn yelled, charging into him so hard he knocked him down, the rocket sped an inch to Adenn's face, and with a force so great, was flung aside. A blur of bluish energy exploded through the Felucian jungles, knocking the rocket far away from him.
Adenn leapt high into the sky, as his arms and hands fused with lightning, "Ah!" he roared, as he slammed his fists into the ground, droids, Weequays, and even the Republic Commando's flew up into the sky. But Adenn wasn't finished, he unsheathed his viroblade from his gauntlet, and charged a Weequay, slamming the blade into his rib cage, he flung him aside. Using the speed of the force to make him quicker, Adenn sped to a super battle droid, slamming his fists into the metal denting and destroying it. He shot lightning through his finger tips, and then chucked him at a group of droids.
The off balance metal with the sudden jolt of lightning caused the droids to explode in a fray of metal, and hot shrapnel.
After what seemed like an eternity, Adenn had quickly dispatched the droids, and Weequays. The tired Captain took a knee, panting and sweating.
Lance was first to meet him, followed by Xanatos.
"Did, I get them-" Adenn was met with a rifle butt to the face.
"Who the hell are you?" Lance yelled, his DC aimed at the ARC Troopers face.
"Lance calm down." Xanatos said, placing his hand on the rifle, and kneeling down next to Adenn, "I thought I sensed something about you...Jedi."
"Wrong..." Adenn corrected, "I'm not Jedi..."
"Well, either way you're a force-user, no?" Xanatos asked, helping Adenn to his feet.
The mandalorian warrior stood, staring deep into the eyes of his teammates, "I suppose I have some explaining to do..." Adenn said.
"Damn, right you do..." Fang snarled, as he and the rest of Alpha Squad surrounded Adenn.
"How does a mandalorian, end up being force-sensitive?" Xanatos asked, his arms folded.
"Oh, another one of you 'Mandalorians'." Di'kut rolled his eyes beneath his helmet, disgusted with the warriors he associated himself with.
"Is there a problem?" Adenn replied quickly, seeing his facial features was strange, but they fit his character. He was young, about the age of the troopers, but seeing a different face then a clone...well they almost felt compassion.
Di'kut scoffed, "Yeah there is a problem. I'm tired of all these Clones claiming that they're aligned with Mandalore. Do they seriously think they're worth something? I mean honestly, do they? They're tin cans, they're buckets, cloned for one purpose...to die."
Adenn was quick, much quicker than Xanatos expected, Adenn already had his hands gripped around the troopers collar, lifting him up.
"Watch what you say hutu'un...I won't hesitate to slit that osik talking throat of yours myself..." Adenn snarled, his viroblade inches away from Di'kut's throat.
"Put him down!" Tal yelled, as all of Alpha Team snapped into attention, DC's aimed at Adenn's skull. Xanatos sat back, watching it all.
"I like you Cap..." Lance said, "Like you a lot. But don't waste your time with this aruetiise." Lance said.
"Lance is right." Fang replied, "He's a chakaar, but he's also vod'e."
Adenn reluctantly placed him down, "You're lucky Di'kut." he spat, "Lucky that you have vod'e."
Alpha Team lowered their weapons, and Tal handed Adenn back the pieces of his armor he had tossed aside.
"Well," Xanatos clapped his hands, "I'd say we've got time for a story, Adenn...if that's your real name." Xanatos said, as Adenn strapped back on his armor. "Why don't you tell us...who, and what you are?"
Alpha Team murmured, and agreed with the wise Jedi master.
"Well..." Adenn said, keeping his helmet off, "I'll tell you what I remember..."
(A/N) Hello, fellow vod'e! Hope you are all enjoying the story. A few important things, I use a lot of mando'a in this story, so I've provided some definitions below.
Vod'e, vod, ner'vod, (brother, bro, or my brother.) Shabuir, shab. ( Fucking, or fuck.) Osik. (shit.) Buir (Father, often used like so, Kal'buir, which would mean, "Father Kal.") Hutu'un, (Coward, worse possible insult ever.) Aruetiise. (Traitor, or simply, "not one of us")
That I think is majority of the terms I've used. I will get more in depth in chapters to come. But anyways, next update, learn about Adenn's past, and how he joined the GAR, will Alpha Team accept him as Mandalorian, or will they shun him away, and will Master Xanatos keep the secret of a force-sensitive, force-using, Mandalorian, posing as ARC Captain a secret, or will he turn him in? Stay tuned! And don't forget to review! :)
Cheers,
DantesClover
