"How long till we get there, Calon?" Khan huffed, as she trialed behind an also tired Lana. Calon kept marching through the thick plants, his sniper in hand, ready for any beast. Khan whined again. "Seriously dude, how do you this?"

"Because I was trained to survive in the wilderness? Because I trained for this here?" Calon replied. "Besides, we've only walked about 2 miles. I thought you were in the Grand Army of the Republic, you've done stuff harder than this."

"I wasn't actually in the army, because of all those clones. I was in like a training program in case they ran out, a reserve."

Calon rolled his eyes. "That makes sense." Khan grabbed lana by the collar. "Tell your boyfriend to cool it, green bean. I don't take grudges lightly."

"First, stop calling me green bean, that's offensive. Second, he's not my boyfriend. Stop engaging or keep your mouth shut." Told Lana. Khan just grumbled angrily and continued hiking. After a minute or so of staring at the ground while hiking, she noticed it was only her and Lana. "Where's Calon?" Khan asked. Lana looked in confusion, unsure where he went.

"Hello? Calon!? Where are you, you utreekov?!" Lana yelled, voice echoing in the landscape. Hearing a few rustles and movements in the bushes, she drew out her pistol, finger on trigger. Khan didn't bring a weapon, so she grabbed a stick on the floor and held it like a spear.

"Who's there?" Lana questioned at a slightly moving bush. Suddenly, Calon's body flew from the bush, hitting Khan hard in the abdomen, knocking her down, making her incapacitated. Calon got on his knees, holding his stomach, then he whipped his E-11 sniper from his back. A little whoozy, he fired 3 long green blaster bolts bushes direction, each a few inches away from each other, before massive stomping was heard.

From the treeline, out stepped a large, purple, intimidating monster. "Imperial Fodder." The alien grumbled, deep with bass. The thing was at least 7 feet, and towered over the trio, Lana by a good 14 inches and Calon a foot. Without thinking, Lana fired her pistol, blue bolts hitting the alien three times in the chest. It simply looked down at Lana, before it brought its hand and knocked her to the side, throwing her ten feet.

Calon looked at Lana, who was clutching her abdomen, but still alive. "Bastard alien." Calon whispered, before firing two more shots from his sniper. The first green laser missed, but the second hit his neck. The alien grabbed it in pain, and looked even more angry. It grabbed Calon and lifted him above his head easily, ready to throw him down the hill.

The large brute was about to lunge him, until a voice called him. "Damnit Slug, this is not how we were suppose to treat guest." Calon turned his head, seeing a man on top of a rock upside down, wearing a sleeveless gray tunic with black pants. Dark auburn hair was cut into a familiar crew cut, light orange eyes looking at him with intrigue. He looked human, but there was a certain, roughness, in his pale skin.

"Uh, I'm sorry for my friends reaction mister...?" Jerriko gestured his hand to Calon, still being held by Slug. "My name is Calon. Please tell 'Slug' to put me down, i need to check on my friends."

"Slug, please put him down." Slug lowered Calon to the floor. Calon gaining balance, running over to Khan, who was starting to slowly get up. "Go to your girlfriend Calon, check if she's okay." Calon stood up and ran towards Lana, shouting as he ran. "She's not my girlfriend damnit!"

Calon stood near Lana and helped her up. "What...the hell... is he?" Lana huffed, referring to Slug. Jerriko answered their burning question. "Slug is a Gen'dai, these guys live forever." Jerriko went to Lana and Calon. "Sorry about this whole thing. If you guys want, you could come with me. And in more ways than one." He ended a bit sultry. Lana eyes widened a bit and Calon blushed. "Well, aren't you, inviting."

Khan joined in on the group. "Whoa, I like this guy already". Jerriko smiled. "What brings you three here to Kashyyyk? Off to see the white beaches on your romantic getaway?"

Lana scoffed ."You too? Jeez, like this one wasn't bad enough." Lana pointed to Khan, causing Jerriko to chuckle. "Never got your lovely lady friends names either."

"I'm Lana, she's Khan, we got another waiting in our ship. Ked." The tall man rubbed his chin carefully, deciding whether he should help these travelers or not. "I don't mean to intrude but, are you smugglers? He has imperial weaponry, and you seem pretty inept in fighting." He gestured to them.

"No, we are not smugglers. Well, not me and Calon anyways." Khan answered. "We are rebels, and proud of it." Jerriko looked astonished. "Really? Rebels? I should've known, I should've known. Good thing you're fighting against those imperial scum. They are nothing but a disease waiting to die. Go get your friend, and join me and Slug for dinner. You're all officially my friends." Jerriko mentioned to Slug, whose demeanor changed rapidly over this small conversation.

"Sorry about what happened just now." Slug began, in a much friendlier tone. "I hope you can forgive me for my actions. Any friend of Jerriko is a friend of mine." The giant put out his hand, and Calon reluctantly shook whatever portion he could grasp. Though the Gen'dai's grip nearly broke it. Khan got her hololink and called Ked. Ked's crustacean body showed in a blue hologram.

"Good news Khan. The engines are fully repaired back to max potential, when will you and the others return?"

"Good to know Khan, but we're being held up at the moment."

The Tarc began worrying. "Someone is holding you up?! Are they gonna throw you to a pit!?"

"No Ked, we were invited by a local to dinner, and I was wondering whether you want to go or not." Ked tugged his antenna before answering. "I,uh, think I'll stay here with the ship. Don't want any wookies stealing it."

"I understand Ked, we'll be back in a few hours. Take a nap or something." Ending the transmission, all three went with Jerriko and Slug to their personal place.


Haron had heard no transmissions from Amon since his departure to Tatooine, it was worrying her. If that Inquisitor didn't do his job, and Calon survives, her life will be destroyed, literally. Pacing around in her room a bit, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair slowly graying, her special white uniform still in pristine condition.

She sat back at her desk, rubbing her temples to ease her worry. Suddenly, Amons blue figure showed up at her desk. "Hope I wasn't interrupting anything, General."

"Far from it actually. What is your status with the deserter, Inquisitor? Is he silenced?"

Amon rubbed his beard slowly. "I'm afraid that he's proven more difficult than to appear, General. From what evidence found, it seems he built a team or rebels."

Haron stared at him in disbelief. Only two days has this deserter been gone, and he's already formed a team. "Why aren't you finishing the off then, Inquisitor? Do you not have a location on their whereabouts?"

"They headed to Kashyyyk General. My tracker locates them there." General stood up more dominantly, trying to assure position. "Then go after them, and get rid of anyone or anything in the way."

Amon, who was sitting in his fixed ship, nodded at his commands. "Yes, General Haron." He ended the hololink and lifted off. As soon as he reached space, he jumped, coordinates to Kashyyyk.

Haron sat back at her desk, feeling a bit stressed. She had received praise for the actions she ordered Drell to commit, but the news of dissertation was slowly reaching to the highest of Imperial Command. She needed a break, she wanted to relax just until he was gone for good.

In her mind, a desire she loves came to, a desire she had to keep secret. Reaching for her link, she asked her secretary to help quench her sordid hunger. The secretary, who never enjoyed a single moment of getting what she wants, did her bidding without question. If she didn't, her life would been cut short by General Haron herself.


"So Calon, where were you before rebelling?" Jerriko asked, giving Calon a wooden bowl of a groggy looking soup inside their "kitchen" inside a large hollowed tree. Calon rubbed his neck, damn bugs were everywhere.

"I was stationed on Arthet. Bunch of mountains and forest, kinda like Alderaan. The highest command personnel was General Duno Haron. She is...she is hard to describe."

Lana and Khan, who were eating the soup politely but holding back gags, also listened with interest. Calon hadn't really talked about his time was like there. "Oh, How so?" Jerriko inquired.

"She did not to mistakes likely. At all. Officers always went missing whenever they slipped up, no matter how big. And there was rumors, sick rumors...but I can't remember what they were. I didn't want to get in trouble." Calon answered. He knew he was lying, he knew that the rumors were true, he had done them, ashamed of it.

"Wow, I see why you defected. But now you're free, you don't have to do anything anymore, just kick their asses." Khan said, gesturing some fighting moves. Lana studied his face during his little confession, she knew he was hiding something...dark.

Jerriko grabbed Calons shoulder affectionately. "I understand, Calon. If you need to, I'm here to help. And by help, I mean any type of help." He said a bit seductively. Calon blushed at his flirtation and Lana and Slug looked on disapprovingly, while Khan looked excited.

"Thanks Jerriko, for letting us stay for dinner, but we've got to go. We can't leave or friend for long." Lana spoke up, standing up from the large table, a bit of poison in her voice. Khan followed suit. "Yeah, Ked gets impatient."

Calon also got up, shaking Jerriko's hand. "Really, thanks for the dinner. And Slug, sorry for shooting you in the neck." Slug shrugged. "Don't mention it human. It was a normal response from anyone in your position."

Jerriko decided to ask one more question before they left. "Wait, where are you going to?"

"Coruscant. Got some weapons to sell." Khan answered. Jerriko thought about it as they opened their makeshift door, then he spoke. "Do you mind if I come with you guys? It has been a long while since I've seen any action, and looks like you need more manpower, if you catch my drift." He winked. Slug called on him before the trio made a decision. "Jerriko, a moment if you will."

As Jerriko and Slug went to a more secluded area of their house, the began arguing. "You barely know these humans Jerriko, you shouldn't be running around with strangers willy nilly!"

"Slug, they need help. They're four rebels, against a bloodlust commander. And besides, I felt something with Calon that I didn't think was still here."

Slug squinted at him, a bit jealous. "What kind of connection, Jerriko?"

"Not a romantic one you dummy." Jerriko mocked. "It was...just there. He's weak, but it has a presence. If I be with him more, maybe i'll know what it is."

Looking at the group through the window, all waiting outside. Slug looked at Calon, and realized what it was, he reluctantly sighed. "Fine Jerriko. If this is what you're saying, then you can go."

Jerriko, who looked happy, hugged the giant tightly. "Thank you, friend. I promise once this vermin of an Empire is finished, I'll come back."

Slug returned the hug, careful not crushing him. "Goodbye, friend." Jerriko smiled even more. "Goodbye, brother."

Amon was soaring through the gray skies of Kashyyyk, getting closer to the beacon. He was nearing his destination, closer to finishing his task.

Amon smiled triumphantly under his black helmet, the beacon hadn't moved for a while. He was a kilometer away from the ship, and landed near a sandy beach.

As he walked his way through the brush, he decided he should really show what he really was to Calon before the pitiful Soldier's death. He never took pleasure for any killings he done, but since this character was proven difficult, he saw that he should have some fun with him before he dies.

Jerriko had proven to be an excellent hiker along their way to the ship, only a few dozen meters away. Unlike Lana and Khan, who complained most of their trip there, he was proving to be very fit and patient. "I guess living in Kashyyyk has made you quite fit, huh?" Calon questioned.

Jerriko nodded. "Yeah, it is kinda required, especially with all these hills." Jerriko continued walking, but noticed something on his wrist. Or rather, nothing on his wrist. His heart started beating fast, a look of worry and fear masking him. "Oh no." He muttered, causing the others to look at him. "What's wrong, Jerriko?" Lana asked.

"I lost something, I'm going back to the trail to find it. I'll be back in a few minutes." He rushed and ran back to the forest, at an incredible speed. "Should we wait for him?" Khan asked.

"No, he knows where we are. Besides, you can see the ship from here. Let's go." Calon replied. As they made their way to the ship. Calon noticed an eerie silence as they made their way to the ship, and noticed Lana and Khan felt the same.

Kha grabbed her comm. "Ked, honey. Are you there?" No response made from the ship. Calon, starting to get a bit paranoid, unslung his Sniper and began moving in a militaristic manner towards the ship. "Lana, get ready to fight again. Khan, try to get Ked. Move slowly to the ship!" Calon commanded. Lana drew out her pistol, finger on trigger and ready to fire. Khan was still trying to reach Ked, her voice starting to show fear. "Where are you Ked?! Answer please!"

Finally, the comm buzzed, with Ked's artificial voice whispering to near silence. "Khan, it's an ambush! He's here, leave now!"

"Who's here Ked? How did they find us?!" Suddenly, Khan's body felt pushed by a large and powerful force, knocking her to a tree and knocking her unconscious. Calon and Lana turned around to see Khans unmoving body. "Khan!" Lana yelled. Then, they heard a slight rumble in the bushes, and a bright red glow coming from the forest.

Out drew was Amon, his large frame held together in a sleek, black stormtrooper armor getup. He held in his hand a glowing, curved red lightsaber, humming with intensity. Lana and Calon stared at the menace, mouths agape. Without warning, Lana started blasting at him, blue bolts dodged and deflected of the laser sword. Calon viewed at him, not firing out of a sense of awe. This can't be, they couldn't have sent one for me. He thought. But low and behold, he was standing in front of him, weapon drawn, and a faceless helmet staring at him with anger. With hatred.

Calon hadn't noticed that Lana was being forced held against the window of the ship, unable to move. He aimed his sniper and fired his entire pak. The Sith just deflected them, nearing and grazing Calon as he dodged his own blast bolts. Then abruptly, he was held in the air, losing air in his lungs and being slowly dragged to the Inquisitor, desperately clawing his throat for breath.

"I am Inquisitor Amon. I was sent by Vader himself to exterminate you. You have been a lowly adversary, Calon. I expected more of a fight." Amon husked in a deep and low voice. He brought his lightsaber slowly to his face, careful not accidently cut him. "You see this lightsaber, THX-1138? It is a weapon of the force, the lightsaber. This weapon will be the end of you and your pathetic team, so study it closely." Calon looked at the crimson lightsaber, his eyes squinting from its brightness. it vibrated with intensity for another death upon its blade, another man to end.

Amon spoke again, bidding a farewell. "I see no reason why I don't need to hear the reason for your defection before your death. General Haron had not told me. Please, Mr. Mezad, enlighten me."

"If you knew, then you would see why." Calon choked out. "What the Empire and that witch Haron have done would throw the galaxy into revolt. I won't give the satisfaction." He gasped. Amon shaked his head, disappointed by his answer. "I see. Then it is time to die." Calon closed his eyes, preparing to feel the blade through him. Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye Dad. Goodbye Khan and Ked, I'm sorry for failing so badly. And goodbye Lana, I'm sorry I dragged you to this mess. Prepared, he let go and gave in.

Calon didn't feel anything, all he heard was a quick and deep whoosh and something toppling over. In fact, he only felt the floor, the grass and dirt warm on his legs, he hadn't been toppled over, and he was still alive! He looked up, and saw that Amon had been knocked back, on the floor struggling to get up. He also noticed Khan was up and helping Lana, both looking in awe at the opposite direction of Amon.

Calon turned and couldn't comprehend what he saw. Jerriko, two feet planted firmly in the ground, arms stretched to their length. His head lowered in concentration, and the same metallic cylinder in his hand, a cyan blade going across his arms. The connection felt stronger now too, he had an energy flow through him. He's... he's...

"A jedi." Amon finished, hatred seeping through his vocal cords. Amon turned no attention to Calon and instead focused on Jerriko. Jerriko turned and yelled at Calon. "Get to the ship! I'll join soon, go!" All three made their way into the ship, Lana and Khan got into the cockpit, while Calon found Ked hiding in his cabin. "It's okay, we're leaving." Assured Calon. He left the cabin and went to the gun mounted on the bottom from of the ship, giving him a view of the fight below.

The jedi brought his lightsaber into a defensive position as he saw Amon get up. Amon laughed aloud, his voice echoing under the sounds of the ship starting. "Finally! I challenge that I could face. Even if it's jedi scum!"

Jerriko gripped the handle harder, angered by his insult. "Says the imperial muskrat-." He didn't finish his sentence as Amons blade went down on his, creating sparks and the familiar screeching. Jerriko forced him back as he swung to his side. Amon brought it back and swung over his head. He brought the laser down hard.

Jerriko blocked it and pounded his chest with his fist. He swung his lightsaber to Amon's face. He ducked and thrusted his lightsaber straight. Jerriko parried and tried getting him in the side from the side. Amon flicked his wrist and blocked it. He then tackled Jerriko to the floor, pinning him. Jerriko spun and flipped over Amon. The Inquisitor recovered and kicked Jerriko in the abdomen, knocking the air out of him. He then brought his fist into his face and made him plunge back.

Jerriko fell to the ground, propped up by his elbows. He noticed he dropped his lightsaber, and was trying to reach it. Amon forced the thing away any brought his blade to the Jedis neck. "You were foolish to think you'll win, Jedi." Amon prepared to swing. Jerriko eyes widened, but then the sound of an explosion came to.

Amon was almost blasted by Calon from the ship. Seeing the hatch was opened with a giant crustacean he assumes was Ked standing, claw outstretched. Jerriko forced his lightsaber to his hand and quickly ran. He jumped with assistance to the force and grabbed the Tarcs hand as they were off the ground. "He's here! Let's go!" Ked yelled. Soon, the ship took off, leaving an defeated Amon in anguish.


Calon was sitting at the table in the common room. hands on his forehead. He had been shaken by the whole idea that the bothered to send an Inquisitor after him. Lana and Jerriko was also there, trying to comfort each other.

Lana held a cup of coffee silently, while Jerriko sat quietly, arms crossed. "Who was that Calon? Who did they send after you?" Lana asked. Calon looked up, closed his eyes again and looked back down once more. "It was an Inquisitor. They send them to get rid of anyone the feel is too great of a necessity to use regular agents." Lana side glanced Jerriko, face contorted with anger.

"No that we have a Jedi among us, they'll be trying even harder to get us." Calon continued. "It seems that we have to be more vigilant, and get a better and more group of rebels. We have already lost Sill, we can't risk losing another."

Lana looked up. "How do you know Sill died?"

"I overheard you at the port at Tatooine. Sorry about it by the way." Jerriko stood up suddenly, hands slammed at the table. "We have to keep going, no matter if that murderer is chasing us."

Then, the intercom came to life with Ked's fake vocals ringing through. "Lana, it seems that you are low on fuel. We must reach the nearest fueling station." Lana put her mug down and stood up. "Alright gents, I gotta go. Turn off anything here so I could save fuel. Understood?" Jerriko and Calon nodded as they turned their things off and left to their cabins.


Amon was on his ship, sitting with anger and frustration. Not only did those clowns escape, they manage to bring along a jedi. And he couldn't track them, the beacon wasn't being reported back to him.

He had to report this to General Haron immediately. He turned on his hololink and saw winded and surprised Haron. She was sweating a bit and her usual slick hair was a bit frayed and out of place. "I wasn't expecting a report, Inquisitor. What is it?"

"It seems that Calon and the other rebels gained a new teammate. A Jedi."

Haron began looking infuriated. "WHAT?!"

"Yes, a jedi, General. He wasn't a difficult challenge, but with the combined forces of the others I need some assistance-"

"Consider it done, Inquisitor. Don't message me back until he's dead, you'll be getting some help whenever I could some." With that, Amon ended the transmission. He was gonna kill the jedi and his little friends, this was no longer part of any job. This was something he must do. He must finish the extermination of another Jedi.


A/N: I would've have uploaded sooner, but this was a busy school week for me. And sword scenes are difficult. Plus, I had a difficult time writing this one since, I feel it's very filler-y. Anyways, I introduced Karmaisms OC, Jerriko Thane, you'll learn more about him later. I'll be introducing at most 2 OCs next chapter as well. And reminder to those who haven't began Sun Soaked Stories, the next chapter will be after the new chapter of Sun Soaked Stories, so I'll be done with them in about at least 1 and a half weeks.

Leave comments and reviews please! I love feedback. Big Bravo out.
