Sorry I haven't updated in a while, *Fake cough* I've been very *Fake cough* sick lately.

Brittany: No you haven't!

Me: Uh...yea I have. Didn't you hear me coughing.

Brittany: *Glares*

Me: Okay, while I argue with one of my characters, please enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 3:

Savannah

"So, you put Gungan spice in his food?" Trent asked Neko as they were boarding a transport ship to link up the Republic warship, Savannah. Ahdroka, Brittany, and Ahsoka were boarding with them, while the rest were on a different transport ship.

"Yep," Neko replied with a small smile. "And it turned out better than what I expected." They took their seats along with some clones and the ship lifted off. A minute later, a ship carrying their friends did the same.

"I have a feeling things are going to be a lot more interesting with you guys around." Ahsoka said staring at Neko's tail without realizing it. Neko noticed. Her smile vanished.

"Can I help you something, Ahsoka?" She snapped out of her daze.

"Oh! Sorry, I..."

"You were staring at my tail, weren't you?" Neko asked with a stern look.

"Well, I've never seen a human with a tail before. How did you get it?" Ahsoka asked uncertainly. Neko's look deepened.

"It's not really any of your business." she replied. "Maybe I was born with it? Maybe, my dad was human and my mom was a freaking feline!" Neko ranted. Everyone, including the clones, stared at her.

"So... your dad fell in love with a cat and they-," one of the clones started to say, but was interrupted when Neko sprang out of her seat toward the unfortunate clone. Luckily, Ahdroka held her back while she yelled a wide variety of obscenities.

Brittany face-palmed and said, "I bet the other ship doesn't have to put up with stuff like this."

Meanwhile in the other ship,

"No, no, a Rancor could easily beat a Gundark," Zack argued.

"I don't know, a Gundark is pretty agile and it would probably do pretty well against a Rancor," Barriss suggested.

"Ha! Even Barriss agrees with me!" Selena gloated. Zack rolled his eyes. Then, he looked at Roxie and Tess.

"Hey, do either of you agree with me?" Zack asked, interrupting their conversation.

"I don't really know who would win," Roxie shrugged.

"And I don't really care," Tess smirked. Zack was about to say something when the pilot announced,

"We are now docking with the Savannah, stand by." The ship shook a little and the sound of the air-lock boarding extension could be heard. Dewca had been quiet the entire time. He was to busy worrying about his home-world to pay attention to anyone.

"Commander Dulik, sir!" a battle droid exclaimed while stumbling onto the bridge. "Your special visitor has arrived." He got a sinister, smug grin on his face.

"Good, send her up immediately."

"Right away, sir!"

"First things first," Master Tyrak announced once the padawans gathered around. "Me and Master Plo here will give you a brief tour of this cruiser so everyone can get used to being on here. Barriss, Ahsoka, you may both head to your quarters if you like."

"Alright then," Ahsoka nodded. "We'll see you guys after you're tour is over." and they headed off.

"Let's get started," Tyrak said, clapping his hands together. "This is the hanger, but that was pretty obvious," he chuckled. Just then, a woman walked up to him and saluted.

"Sir, those fighters you wanted me to prep are finished," she said quietly.

"Ah, good. Padawans, allow me to introduce you to our head engineer on this cruiser. This is Victoria DeLeon." The first thing they noticed about her was that she had white feline-like ears and a tail.

Tess thought, 'Another cat-person? It's probably some weird coincidence.'

"Would you take the padawans and show them their ships?" Tyrak continued. "Master Plo and I need to have a quick discussion." Victoria got a nervous look on her face. She didn't really want to be alone with people whom she just met.

"Um...sure," she finally replied. "Follow me." Everyone was a little confused by what Tyrak said.

'Our ships?' they thought. They were soon going to find out.

"Master Plo," Tyrak began. "How many cruisers are going to be joining this fleet?" he asked.

"Only the Resolute will be joining us," Plo replied. Tyrak rubbed his chin.

"Hmm... I guess that will be alright, but if there is a Separatist fleet there waiting for us..." Tyrak's voice trailed off.

Meanwhile,

"Wow! These starfighters are for us?" Roxie asked excitingly. They were standing in front of eleven Jedi Starfighters, two of which belonged to Ahsoka and Barriss. The rest were unpainted and looked the same.

"Well, in a sense, yes," Victoria replied. "You will be able to customize it to your liking." Each padawan instantly got ideas in their heads, thinking about what they wanted their starfighter to look like, just as Tyrak and Plo-Koon walked over.

"Shall we continue with the tour?" Tyrak motioned for them to follow. After thanking and goodbye to Victoria, they moved on.

On the Bridge,

"Alright, Marikane, you will lead the main reconnaissance team onto Kashyyyk," a holographic image of Obi-Wan instructed. "Be sure to remain out of sight and to be careful. The wildlife and Natives there can get hostile."

"As long as the Wookiees don't threaten to kill, cook, and eat us, I think we'll be just fine," the Zybrackian replied. Obi-Wan shook his head at that comment.

"Just be sure that you have your team ready when we reach the system. May the force be with you." and with that, the hologram disappeared.

Marikane looked down and spoke into his wrist comm. "Flare, Seven, Crush, get up to the bridge. We need to discuss the reconnaissance plan." He was greeted by multiple "Yes sir!"s and he began looking over a map of Kashyyyk.

"Why do you think they wanted all of us to come to Kashyyyk for this one mission?" Roxie asked out loud while she and her friends walked to their quarters. Tess just shrugged.

"They probably wanted us to get some experience doing missions and get used to being on Jedi Cruiser."

Trent also shrugged. "I guess so. Zack, what do you think?"

"I don't really care what they want us for, I just want to get something to eat right now," Zack replied. "And get back at Neko..." he added under his breath.

"You know, I'm not deaf," Neko said, obviously have heard him.

"Oh, just be quiet."

"Don't worry," Brittany whispered in Neko's ear. "You'll get used to him." Neko just rolled her eyes.

"Are we ready to make the jump to hyper-space?" a clone commander asked.

The admiral, named Iroh, stroked his long beard and replied, "We're clear." There was the usual hum of the hyperdrive firing up and the Jedi Cruisers were gone in the blink of an eye.

Many hours later,

"Sir, we're coming out of hyper-space in just a few minutes."

Admiral Iroh nodded and Tyrak nodded. "Marikane, is your team ready to go?" Tyrak asked.

"We are ready for deployment, sir. Aren't we men?" Marikane almost yelled.

"Yes sir!" the clones replied. Immediately after, Ahsoka stepped into the bridge. Flare couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Hello, beautiful." he said softly.

"Excuse me?" she exclaimed surprisingly. Flare gulped.

"Nothing, sir."

Ahsoka shot a glare toward Flare. "That's right, it better be nothing," she murmured. Just then, the ship came out of hyper-space and the forest-filled planet was visible.

"Alright men, let's go to the hangar and meet up with the other recon teams. From there, we'll go ahead down to the planet's surface near the oil rigs the Republic have set up there. Then, we will proceed to scout for Separatist activity. Any questions?" Marikane explained.

As he ended his sentence, multiple Separatist star frigates came out of hyper-space right in front of the Republic fleet.

"What?" Iroh said in astonishment. "How did we not see them coming on the scanners?"

"I'm not sure, sir. I think they might be jamming us somehow." a clone replied.

"Quick, get all pilots to their fighters immediately! And get Master Plo up here!" Tyrak ordered. "He is not going to like this."

Hey! What do you know, I updated! I wish I could say that more often, but unfortunately that's not the case. I got of things going on right now, so I think I can promise a new chapter every 2 weeks or so. Hopefully. As for you guys, thanks for being patient and reviewing! You are awesome!
