Chapter 8:

The Normandy warped out of hyperspeed near one of the moons of Kashyyyk. Looking at the scanners they notice a Star Cerberus Empire blockade. "Shit." Mienshao said looking at it as Absol then waved to Qrow. "Uncle, we got a problem." She said as he looked at the screen. "I will need to contact the Alliance, looks like we got to make a fight." He said to them walking off to find a terminal.

"Oh, hunny! Why don't we just tell them on the intercom to move their fleet away from the planet..." Zarbon said as Tomoko gave a blank look. "And telling our enemy to do that will make them do it?" She asked. "Oh, hunny when I ask to blow someone you just need to force them down and blow them anyway! Oh!" Zarbon yelled. "My nipples are tingling ohhhh!" Zarbon yelled rubbing his nipples as Weavile's eye started ticking getting angry. "I need to excuse myself before I bathe the cockpit red." Weavile said walking off.

Serenity frowned looking at the ships and quickly ran to the shuttle bay on the Normandy running to the Azure Kingdom starfighter she brought with them. "Mangle open bay doors I'm going to handle it." Serenity said with confidence. "Are you serious?" Mangle asked in shock. "Just do it! I know I can do this!" She yelled as Mangle then opened the bay doors and Serenity flew out of the hanger/space shields and flew toward the Star Cerberus blockade.

Qrow was talking to the Alliance on the terminal and he looked up at the port window to notice Serenity in the starfighter leaving. "Oh fuck!" He shouted. "Excuse me?" The male said on the other line. "Just bring us a fleet to handle a blockade! We got to save my niece!" He yelled hanging up and running to the cockpit. "Has she lost her damn mind!?" Qrow asked. "Dude, I think everyone lost there mind the moment we started this crap." Mangle said simply.

"Don't be an asshole." Qrow said to Mangle.

"Ohhh please touch my asshole Oh!" Zarbon said rubbing his nipples next to them biting his lower lip as Qrow stepped away from him grabbing the intercom from Mangle. "Serenity get your ass back here!" He yelled. "Ohhh ass! oh!" Zarbon yelled.

Serenity flew the starfighter close to the warships and soon they began firing at her. Serenity spun and fired two proton torpedoes right into the bridge of one of the support ships making it explode and even moving unwillingly to the side crashing into the other support ship next to it exploding both of them. However, there was eight warships and ten more support ships blockading the planet and soon she got hit by one of the laser fire knocking her engines out as she flew down toward the planet Kashyyyk sending a distress signal.

Qrow watching this getting mad looking at Mangle. "Fly is to the planet now!" He yelled. "What about the blockade!?" She asked confused. "Fly through them at fast speed." he said to her. "What about the Alliance fleet that will be preparing to come here?" Mismagius asked. "Let's just pray they can handle the blockade without us then, I got to get your sister back before she makes another stupid mistake..." Qrow said frowning looking at the blockade.

Jessica walked over beside Qrow with her arms crossed. "I hope we can get to the planet quickly- you know there will be forces coming down to stop us right?" She asked him. "Don't remind me." Qrow said sighing sitting in the cockpit with Jessica behind him and Mangle at the main seat typing on the console. "Hold on everyone!" Mangle shouted. "Wait wait you're going into hyperspeed!?" Qrow asked in shock. "Yup then at the same time out of hyperspeed double push button." She told him. "That might make us crash into the planet!" He yelled. "Duuude relax." She simply said and before he could protest she pushed it and pushed it again for them to go instantly from hyperspeed to suddenly over the tree's of Kashyyyk as she guided the Normandy over them quickly.

Everyone was breathing heavily and Qrow passed out as everyone in the cockpit looked at him. "Man down!" Mangle yelled.

"Everyone stand back I will do C P R!" Zarbon yelled as Qrow's eyes shot open. "No!" Qrow said getting up quickly. "I'm good!" He told them all and then looked at Mangle who was still flying. "Okay... do you see a response on the starfighter Serenity was in?" He asked her. "Nope." Mangle said. "Maybe she blew up... Oh, how I want to blow up Oh!" Zarbon yelled. "Enough Zarbon!" Qrow yelled as Zarbon just flapped his hand at him. "Keep searching for her response or scan the damn planet of life!" He yelled. "Oh yeah, a planet filled with life to find life! That makes sense!" Mangle shouted back making Qrow walk off mad. "I will contact the Wookiee resistance since we are here." He said.

Medusa Gorgon was screaming trying to break out of the cage she was in. Now in a body type suite with the implant in the back of her brain trying to fight it. "You will obey!" Colress yelled as they got her into a Cerberus frigate loading her in. As they did Urashiki walked up but silently hid behind a few crates watching Medusa.

Colress quickly flipped the switch on his device and suddenly Medusa stopped fighting and stood there like a drone. "You will destroy all Wookiee resistance on the planet Kashyyyk. You obey us." Colress said as Medusa gave just a nod. Urashiki then stepped out approaching and looked at Medusa with a grin on his face. She didn't seem phased as she was being controlled. "Do me a favor Colress." Urashiki said as Colress glanced at him. "I want you to make sure she isn't scratched or harmed. He's like an expensive artistic piece of ancient times. Break her would cost you more than your own life." Urashiki told him as Colress just stared not knowing what to say.

Urashiki then walked up to Medusa and touched her cheek while she did not move staring straight forward. "Heh..." Urashiki said smirking. Colress looked at this not knowing what to say and suddenly he did. "I will make sure nothing can harm her. With her powers, no Wookiee could anyway." He told him. "I don't think we should take chances now." Urashiki said looking at him. "There are full battalions on the planet anyway, possibly there isn't much of a resistance left." Colress told him.

Urashiki kept his hand on Medusa's face looking at her. "Alright take her into the frigate." Urashiki said and then walked off as Colress was still confused. "Alright, men she will be operated once she reaches Kashyyyk and all you do is say the code word to her and she will function on her own. Give her space when she eliminates the Wookiees with your help. Dismissed." Colress said as the Star Cerberus soldiers put their hands up and then walked into the frigate as it began to depart letting out steam from under it. After awhile it lifted up into the sky and headed into space being escorted by smaller transports.

Urashiki watched as the frigate left the spaceport and he then grinned. "You can't control someone like her, I'm sure in her mind she is planning a way to escape the control on her. Eh." He said to himself. "I just wonder what she thought hearing my voice... probably bringing her memories and fear." He said chuckling in a forboding way. "Hehehehe!"

Serenity woke up as her starfighter crashed in the mud of a swamp at the floor of the Kashyyyk wilderness. She remembered reading that it was forbidden for Wookiees to head there and those exiled had to be brought here. She unstrapped herself and got out of the ship grabbing her gear and leaping out. "Damn it." She said to herself looking around as it was dark and little sunlight could come through. "Dangerous grounds." Serenity said to herself and began walking north. As she walked she felt something strange nearby, a feeling and she looked toward its direction. She then began to walk toward it feeling a presence nearby. "Hello!?" She yelled out.

Suddenly a beast came up from behind her jumping onto her back trying to snap at her head as she tried to get further under it to avoid its teeth. Then an ignition sound was heard and then a hard plasma slash was heard. The beast fell off of Serenity laying on its side dead. She looked back and seen a bald black man with a gray goatee looking at her. "Stupid kids now adays, you got to look where you are going!" He shouted and walked off.

Serenity stood there confused and followed him. "Who are you?" She asked. "Jolee. Jolee Bindo." He told her. "Are you going to follow me like a stalker, or going to pick on the old man to get some money out of him?" He asked her. "Excuse me but you saved my life and you walk off, I kinda need an explanation to what you are also doing down here." She asked. "This is my home!" He told her. "Just nearby is my Hut." He said and kept walking. "Is there a way I can get to a Wookiee village?" She asked. "Yeah if you climb!" He laughed. "I'm being serious, we need help." She said to him. "Everyone needs help kid." He told her.

"Star Cerberus Empire is-" She started as he put his hand up. "I know the kid I could sense it and the Wookiees that came down here are running from them except for the warriors." He said and made it to his hut where nearby was a small campfire and five Wookiees was there speaking to one another in their language. "So do they know a way to get up there?" She asked. "Yes, but they won't go with you. Fighting going on up in the tree's, why we are down below." He said as she kept looking up. "Those tree's are taller than skyscrapers." She said. "Taller then that kid, the whole planet is covered in tall tree's." He told her pouring himself some tea and then handing her the cup.

She took a small sip from it looking at him. "Who are you?" She asked looking at his lightsaber. "I'm a scavenger! What do you think I am." He told her. "I was a Jedi knight a long time ago." He said. "The Jedi went extinct from what I know, about some years ago." She said to him. "And the Sith disappeared after their Empress left." He told her. "The old days are gone now, behind us. Now there is new threats and new things and advanced technology. Bah! Back in my day, we didn't need that crap." He said to her. She then pointed to his lightsaber. "And that?" She asked. "Technology." He told her.

"So you lived here after the fall of the Jedi." She asked him. "Most certainly!" He replied. "I'm old damn it. I deserve a retirement." He said as she looked around the place. "Yeah in the middle of a dark swampy below the tree's the size of skyscrapers, place? That is an odd way of retirement." She said as he then threw a rock at her head.

"Whats with every old person throwing rocks!" She yelled rubbing her head. "I sense you are quite powerful." He told her. "Yet you are stupid, don't look where you are going! You seem to always look around and gaze at different horizons." He said to her. "Yeah, you Jedi and your speeches." She told him. "I'm not talking like a Jedi, I am actually encouraging you to look at other horizons, other paths. I knew the wrongs of our order the solitude at that." He told her. "It's why I got away before the collapse of the Jedi."

She looked at him and sat on the log changing her position. "You are skilled with a lightsaber." She said. "I am noticing your lightsabers on your belt. They look very strange." He said to her beckoning with his hand. She unclipped one handing it to him as he observed it.

Then he activated it and to his surprise, it was a hilt with on the sides was two outstretched small tiny hilts that went inward to the main plasma blade and they had small plasma blades out of them. They, however, was tilted only a tiny slant to where the blades could cross each other on each side of the large blade. It formed like a crossguard except it pointed out other than out stretched and it pointed inward to make the V shape in front and in the back of the bottom of the main blade. The bottom of the hilt had a blue small crystal sticking out of the backs of the small tiny crossguard hilts with on the bottom of the hilt was a blue glowing crystal as well but cut to be an oval shape on the bottom. On the top of the hilt was a unique design of curls on the top like claws. Then between them was a red light and on each side of that was a red light like a crescent moon. the bottom part of the hilt on the sides was like the Spade symbol with red glow from it. Then finally the top middle part of the hilt had two red glowing dots one on top the other on the bottom of the top part of the hilt. The hilt itself was medium length. She had a pair of them as she wielded two of them for two blade combat. The plasma beams were mint green color.

"You got quite a weapon here." He told her and handed it to her de-igniting it. "Thanks." She said putting it on the other side of her belt as both were on each side of her hips. "You made them?" He asked. "Yes I did, I had one former as a test but it didn't do so well. It was unstable and eventually shut off on me as the crystal inside failed." She said to him. "How come the blue crystals sticking out it isn't giving a blue color?" He asked. "I guess its because the color went with what I wanted it to be. I focused all my effort into its crystals to instead make the color I wanted. I love green... mint green." She said shrugging as he laughed.

"That or the crystals are a sham!" He shouted at her. "You kids now adays and your different ways." he said as she just rolled her eyes. "Why don't you come with me. We could use a Jedi on the battlefield to suppress the Star Cerberus Empire." She asked him. "I'm too old." He said. "I met a man a lot older than you! And he showed me some things!" She said to him.

"Look I don't know if I can do what I used to do anymore." He said to her. "You took out a big beast for me!?" She shouted in confusion. "Don't get snappy with me youngster!" He yelled at her. "Tell you what kid. I will see if you can handle something for me. You are strong yes? How about you learn some force abilities to help you out. Maybe then I don't need to travel with you." He said as she crosses her arms. "What can you teach me?" She asked. "It's forbidden but I think I can teach you to use the force in different ways. How about first you tell me what force powers you know." He asked her.

The Normandy landed on a large Wookiee dug out the platform as under them was two rivers flowing from under the platform. One Wookiee walked up to Qrow speaking in its language as Qrow had his translator on in his earpiece. "Yes, we are here to get your tribes out of here. We have a few alliance means of transport coming with the fleet. The fleet will be engaging the blockade over your planet and if you have any ships or any war vehicles, its best you get them ready to load now." Qrow told him as two other Wookiees hearing this began transmitting to there tribes across the planet sending coded messages as the one he was talking too spoke again in its language and walked off with another Wookiee.

"Well?" Mawile asked. "They are preparing right now. He said they lost sixteen villages on the eastern side of the planet." He told her. "That's a lot, so I take it we don't help them in this war?" She asked. "They want to get out while they still can." Qrow told her.

Suddenly above in the sky was three Star Cerberus frigates moving down toward the ground a few miles away. "Shit." Qrow said noticing it. "Girls get in the Normandy, we got some ships to blow up and people to kill." He said and ran with them looking at one of the Wookiee's. "We will handle the ships that are landing! Get your people out of here now!" Qrow yelled as the Wookiee nodded running to the chieftain.

Qrow getting into the Normandy yelled to Mangle who quickly got the ship up and flying right toward the landing Frigates firing missiles at them. "Keep attacking!" Qrow said. "I'm trying my best here, I might be able to take down just one." She said and turned the ship around quickly and fired the main cannon firing a beam right through the frigates hull and two more missiles to go inside the opened hull to explode the ship. The other two frigates already landing began too open their doors.

Mangle flew the Normandy down spinning it firing its main cannon beam straight through the engine of the landed frigate and soon its reactor exploded sending the soldiers coming out of it into the woods burning. The final frigate getting its soldiers out running through the jungle until Mangle flew over firing down an incendiary bomb exploding right ontop of the last Frigate destroying it. "Thank god..." Qrow said. "Land! We got to get rid of those soldiers." Qrow said as the Normandy landed near the burning frigates and twenty-four of the daughters of Drayconivous ran out to hunt for the Star Cerberus soldiers that ran into the forest.
