(The battle of Geonosis is over; Shade and Blackheart are on their way to Coruscant.)
Shade and Blackheart was in the bunks on the 327th Ventor. Shade is looking over the map of Coruscant, while Blackheart cleans his gun.
"A whole squad, and there just gone."Blackheart said.
"I know what you mean, but we're alive, that's all that matters."Shine replied.
Blackheart turned towards Shade. Shade looks up at Blackheart.
"What now?"Shade asked.
"You're sad that you lost a squad too."Blackheart replied.
"Yea, but who knows, we may be shipped to another battalion or legion."Shade said.
Blackheart continued cleaning his gun when a 327th comes into the room. He looked at Blackheart then to Shade.
"The commander wants to see you guys."The man said.
"Alright, we'll be there soon."Shade replied.
Shade put away the holopad and got up and headed to the bridge with Blackheart following behind. They arrived at the bridge and stood at attention until the admiral got done talking. The admiral was talking with the 327th commander.
"Well admiral, we can talk later, I must speak with them two." Commander Bly said.
Bly walked over and stand in front of Shade and Blackheart.
"I know you two lost your whole squad." Bly said.
"Yes sir it is, but, you called us?"Shade asked.
Bly looked at shade then to blackheart and back to shade.
"I've been asked to send some soldiers to the Coruscant Guard and to the 501st Legion." Bly said.
"Oh, you want us to go to one of them?" Blackheart asked.
"Yes, Shade, You're going to Coruscant Guard, Blackheart, You're going to 501st Legion."Bly said.
Bly walked passed them moving his hand to dismiss them. Shade and Blackheart turned towards each other.
"So, that's that?" Blackheart asked.
"Seems so, let's hit the bunks."Shade said.
They headed to the bunks but get stopped along the way by Raptor. Raptor was wearing 327th armor to blend in.
"Shade, Blackheart, I come with a favor."Raptor said.
"What is it?" Shade asked.
"Make your own squad, both of you, of nothing but volunteers."Raptor said.
Shade and Blackheart looked at each other then back to Raptor.
"Why exactly?"Blackheart asked.
"You'll learn soon enough."Raptor said.
Raptor turned and walked down the hall then disappeared. Shade and Blackheart looked at each other again and shrugged.
"Let's head back, we got a big day tomorrow."Shade said.
They headed back to the bunks and opened the door seeing Goblin, Train, Joker, and Ghost helmet on a box. Shade walked over and saw a hologram with a message on it. He opened the message and Raptor appeared on it.
"I brought these back for you, I know you two worked with them forever so I returned them. Take care and remember what I asked of you two."The message said.
The message closed and Shade turned towards Blackheart.
"Well, that is nice."Shade said.
"Eh, I guess, but, let's get some sleep, I'm tired."Blackheart said.
Shade and Blackheart went to their bunks and passed out.
(After the fleet arrives at Coruscant Shade and Blackheart took a LAAT down to meet with the commanders of 501st and Coruscant Guard.)
The ship lands in a courtyard of the outpost. Shade and Blackheart got out of the LAAT and a officer approached them.
"Welcome to Coruscant, I'm officer Eagle, Are you two Shade and Blackheart?"Eagle asked.
"Aye, I guess we are expected?"Shade asked.
Eagle nodded and with a wave of his hand told them to follow. Shade and blackheart followed quietly looking at how many Coruscant Guards were around. They went up to the command bay and saw the Coruscant Guard commander and 501st commander.
"Good day commanders."Eagle said.
"Hello Eagle."Both commanders said at same time.
"Here are the other two Shade and Blackheart."Eagle said.
Shade and Blackheart saluted as the commanders faced them.
"At ease you two."Fox said.
They both stop saluting and put hands by their sides.
"I am Commander Fox of Coruscant Guard; this is Commander Appo of 501st legion."Fox said.
"Good day gents."Appo said.
"So, you guys are volunteers?"Fox asked.
"Yes sir, I am Lt. Shade; this is Sgt Blackheart."Shade said.
Fox and Appo looked them over.
"What happened to your squad?"Appo said.
"All dead, expect us." Blackheart replied.
Fox and Appo talked for a bit until turning around to face them.
"Well, Captain, You're under my command."Fox said.
"Who is captain?"Shade asked.
"You are, Captain Blackheart, you are with Appo."Fox said.
"Welcome to the legion."Appo said.
"You guys can relax, say your goodbyes, but you may see each other soon."Appo said.
The commanders turned and walked away. Shade and Blackheart relaxed and turned towards each other.
"Well Blackheart, it was fun while it lasted."Shade said.
"Yep, see you elsewhere I suppose."Blackheart said.
They shook hands and shade turned and walked towards the way of Fox, while Blackheart went after Appo.
(This will be about Shade now, I may add in Blackheart after next chapter .Basically it will be switching between the two in one chapter.)
Shade and Fox arrived at the Armory.
"Get your new armor and gun then meet me outside."Fox said.
"Yes sir."Shade said.
Fox turned and left the armory while Shade walked over to pick up his armor. He reached and switched out his 327th armor with it.
"So, you're new also?"The voice said.
Shade turned around to see who was talking.
"Who are you?"Shade asked.
"I'm Senior Commander Dunkel."Dunkel said.
"Hello sir, I'm Shade."Shade said.
"Ah, well Shade, I'll let you finish getting ready."Dunkel said.
Dunkel turned and walked out of the armory. Shade turned and grabbed his weapon and walked outside to meet up with Fox. Fox was talking with the Chancellor over a hologram. The hologram soon ended and Fox turned around facing Shade.
"You can have a squad, what are you going to name it?"Fox asked.
"I'll name it Rack Squad sir."Shade said.
"Well captain, we have a fresh group of volunteers who want under your command."Fox said.
Fox moved his hand for Shade to follow. Shade hesitated for a moment and soon followed. They turn a corner and there was five other volunteers just waiting.
"Meet Crack, Grain, Reaper, Plaque, and Hawkeye."Fox said.
They all got in a line and saluted. Fox turned towards Shade.
"They are under your command, but you will take orders from me."Fox said.
"Yes sir, got a mission for us?"Shade asked.
"Actually yes, there are a few big black market dealers in town right now."Fox said.
Fox handed shade a file that has all names and what they look like.
"I want them all alive."Fox said.
"It will be done sir."Shade replied.
Fox nodded and turned around heading towards command bay. Shade looked at the files then turned towards his squad.
"Right, let's get moving, introductions later."Shade said.
"Sir yes sir!"They all said.
Shade turned and headed towards a LAAT with his squad. They get into the LAAT and take off towards town.
"Hey pilot, please land here."Shade said in comms.
"Copy that sir."The pilot said.
The ship landed in the entertainment district. They all got out securing the area.
"Alright men, keep alert."Shade said.
The ship soon takes off and the squad heads towards the plaza of where they are at. They arrive about 1000ft away from the plaza and saw about three guys guarded by two bounty hunters.
"Grain, get to the building on the right, you are over watch."Shade said.
"Sir" He replied.
Grain turns and takes off to the building.
"Everyone else, spread out and look like you're on patrol."Shade said.
They nodded and spread out amongst the crowd.
"I'm in position sir."Grain said into the comms.
"Everyone, move onto the targets, Grain, Drop the bounty hunters."Shade said.
Everyone started closing in when two rounds are fired off into the two bounty hunters. Shade and the others move in and secure the targets.
"All targets down and accounted for."Crack said.
"Good job men, let's get them where they belong."Shade said.
Shade pulled up his commlink and comm. the pilot.
"We need a pickup at Plaza, Entertainment District."Shade said.
"Copy that sir, I'm coming."The pilot replied through the comms.
The LAAT came into view when a rocket comes out hitting the LAAT. The LAAT starts spinning around and slams into a small grass area. Shade looked at where it crashed and saw the pilot get out. He stumbles forward then falls, not moving.
"Where the hell did that rocket come from!"Shade yelled.
Shade looked around when something catches his eye. It was a small but bright reflection. Shade turned to see a barrel of a sniper aiming towards Reaper.
"Reaper move!"Shade yelled.
Reaper moved to the side and a bullet lands into the ground beside him.
"Whoa, that was close!"Reaper said.
"Everyone get to cover, I got this."Shade said.
They all started moving behind cover along with their targets.
"Plaque, get a hold of Fox and tell him we are pinned."Shade said.
"Yes sir!"Plaque Replied.
Shade takes off running towards the direction of the building. The sniper starts shooting at Shade but kept missing. Shade got to the building and slammed into the door with his shoulder opening it. Shade starts running up steps when bullets started flying down at him.
"Good lord, bounty hunters."Shade mumbled.
Shade kept running and soon pulled out his DC17 and started shooting at the bounty hunter. He gets to the roof where the bounty hunter was cornered with Grain aiming at him. He turned towards me and pulled out a hilt of a lightsaber. The bounty hunter ignites it showing green crystal.
"So, you killed a Jedi, I guess I can reclaim it."Shade said.
Shade moves his vibroblade from his belt and ignites it.
"You have guts clone, but too bad it will be split."The bounty hunter said.
"Try me, you scum."Shade replied.
The bounty hunter dashes forward and Shade moves to the side sticking his foot out making the bounty hunter lose balance. Shade comes around with his vibroblade and slices it across the bounty hunter back. The bounty hunter holds in a scream then turns around facing Shade.
"You are not a normal clone, you're a volunteer."He said.
"Glad you noticed, now, you want to still fight?"Shade asked.
The bounty hunter remembers that a vibroblade can make a pretty big gap with just a little cut. He looks at shade, then the edge. He turns taking off and jumps off the edge. Shade signaled Grain and Grain shoots him dead in the back and the bounty hunter lands on ship below the building roof
"Good shot lets head back to base."Shade said.
On cue a LAAT pulled up to the roof and the door slides open to see his squad already there. Shade jumps on and the door closes and they head back to base.
(They go back to base turn the Black Market Dealers in and Fox congrats them and yea.)
