And we are back to the Clone Rebellion of Order 66… no, I now mean Star Wars: Clone Rebellion (Season 1)
Yes, the name has changed, but the game hasn't. I was thinking 'Clone Rebellion of Order 66 was too weird for a name. You tell me if you like that one more or this one more please. Thanks.
In the last episode, things were twice as long. I call it a double episode to contain the ending of Revenge of the Sith.
As of now, we travel beyond the borders of 'Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith' and enter a galaxy slowly changing from its old peaceful days to a darkened evil place.
The Clone Wars are over! Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex have been working very effectively to fight against the Galactic Empire's forces to save the last of the Jedi! But, as the end of a war filled era has began, the Darkside has won! Ahsoka's unit of Torrent Company are the only force capable of fighting the enemy! As they wait for Obi-Wan Kenobi to return to their shuttle, other things are going on across the galaxy!
Ahsoka's shuttle:
It has been many hours since Obi-Wan had left for Lars homestead. Or was it only two hours? It was hard to tell. Everyone was only waiting for the Jedi Master to return and at the same time, avoid the Tusken Raiders.
After a long while of playing cards and checking the Holonet, they decided they could get some rest. Would the Tusken Raiders attack at night? Or would they just stay at their camps? It didn't matter. Obi-Wan probably wouldn't return for quite a while now. the beast he rides was very slow when Kenobi picked it up.
Ahsoka checked the Tatooine standered time. It was two hours before midnight.
Obi-Wan had taken this journey seriously. When he had mentioned of Owen and Beru, he said how they didn't like it when Anakin had left his home to become a Jedi. Obi-Wan understood this. They would have not been pleased by seeing Anakin's son in their hands. He was Anakin's boy anyway, not theres. As of consequence from having to hide, Luke Skywalker would hear stories of his father being a farmer who died instead of the Jedi Knight and most he dicided to become.
Ahsoka, the Clones and Numa decided to rest for now. Obi-Wan would return soon, and that means they would have no time to rest here when they need to leave. The sounds Jedi Shuttles made was loud. They didn't have anything to cancel out the sound the ship's engines made. It would be hard to sleep with around your ears, and lekku.
"Boys, let's take a rest for now." Ahsoka says.
"You sure more Tusken Raiders won't pick a fight with the inhabitants of this Shuttle?" Rex asks.
"If they do, they will see the error of their ways." Ahsoka replies. "Now, let's just go to sleep. I'm already tired myself."
Tatooine desert:
Obi-Wan was a little far from the Shuttle he needed to get back to. Dispute the distance, he was pretty close. He was glad he wasn't walking this journey he decided to go on alone, otherwise he would have been dropped of closer. Were it not for the Eopie Kenobi had been riding, his feet would have been killing him. But his butt was numb. Very numb.
Obi-Wan was thing about how the day had gone. Or was it days? He didn't know. Everything was getting more strange and more stressful. Friends had betrayed him and his friendship.
Cody.
Blast it! Why did Cody follow orders instead of his General? Has he not remembered how their friendship was during the Clone Wars? Obi-Wan has always fought on the front lines with his men behind him. Obi-Wan grew to admire his legion the 212th Attack Battalion. They were his friends, his brothers.
But, as all friendships end, he was betrayed by the one man he didn't think would him.
Falling from the cliff on Utapau really opened his eyes up. Perhaps Obi-Wan was thinking his life was over? It doesn't matter now. He was here, and he was alive. Alive like all the Jedi Masters, Knights, Padawans and Younglings wouldn't experience now.
Then all of a sudden, a loud calling moan brings Kenobi's attention to his surroundings. The sound was on his right. Another sound was heard and this time, on his left. He immediately jumped off from the Eopie and activated his blue blade with it's shreak sound alerting the callers.
Than from behind Obi-Wan a shot blasts at him, but he quickly managed to deflect it back at the shooter. It was dark out where he was and if it is dark, than you would be a fool to travel in Sand People turf.
As Obi-Wan considered his position and area he was in, he now realized that he must have been surrounded by the Tuskens.
A few more shots had fired from different positions. He almost didn't have proper defense with the 1st and 3rd blast. Obi-Wan grabbed Anakin's Lightsaber and activated it in his left hand. He had duel wielded Sabers now and he would be able to get better timing with his blue blades of light covering him.
Obi-Wan expected the glowing to reveal the enemies positions, but to no luck, his enemies remained anonymous to their locations. The only think Obi-Wan could do is wait to be shot at and get the foolish desert creatures.
Another shot bounces between the two Lightsabers in Kenobi's hands and he knew where the first Sand Person was. He did a Force jump and and landed right behind the enemy. Kenobi then drove his twin colored blades into the sand colored robes. Two orange cuts appeared on the robes and body. One dash across the lower chest and one a top of that one. Other Sand People in the area began to start some interesting calls and then over a hill in the moon light a whole wave of Sand People appeared and begin to charge at the lone Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan in no time smacks the Eopie in the behind and Obi-Wan makes communication to it. "Run along now young Eopie. And be careful."
The Eopie complied and runs off. Obi-Wan grabbed his wrist and activated his communicator. "Ahsoka!"
Jedi Shuttle:
Ahsoka was sleeping at the flight controls. Waiting for a lone Jedi Master was boring. Shouldn't Obi-Wan have considered taking the Shuttle closer instead of using an Eopie to take much longer?
Then, Obi-Wan's voice echo'ed in the room.
"Ahsoka!" Obi-Wan could be heard.
Ahsoka only moved around while sleeping. And went into a still position again.
"AHSOKA!" Ahsoka just moved again and continued sleeping more.
"AHSOKA!" Obi-Wan voice yells.
Ahsoka then instantly bounced back on the pilot's seat and looked around.
"I-is that you Master Plo?"
"Ahsoka, please respond!" Obi-Wan's voice pleaded over the communicator.
Ahsoka instantly pressed the reply button.
"Master Kenobi, is something wrong? What happened?" Ahsoka asked worried.
"I'm fine- for now." Obi-Wan says. "I'm in need of help Ahsoka. Sand People have ambushed me and there is a lot of them. Please send an assault force to back me up. I cannot handle such attacks I'm on my own." Obi-Wan says. "Here is my location, please hurry."
"Don't worry Master, help is on the way!" Ahsoka says.
The communicator shuts off and Ahsoka sends a message to the Shartkbite. It is to send a reasonable assault force to Obi-Wan's position. Twenty LAAT's were selected and two AT-RT transports were sent to assist them. Each carrier would carry four each with the drivers on them.
Ahsoka's Shuttle would make it to the Jedi Master first.
Obi-Wan:
Minutes later, Master Kenobi had managed to kill twenty more Sand People and clear them all from all around him. But he kept getting shot at. It didn't make any difference since they just keep on coming from the hill.
"C'mon Ahsoka, hurry." Obi-Wan speaks out quietly."
As the Tusken Raiders on the hill began to take aim with Sniper Rifles, Ahsoka's Shuttle flies over head.
Obi-Wan looked directly at it with a glad smile seeing some friends.
As the Shuttle lands in the sand behind Kenobi, Ahsoka, Rex, Fives, Boil, Wooley and Darmonas's squad exit the transport and head for Obi-Wan.
Ahsoka, Rex and Fives got to Obi-Wan's right while Boil, Wooley and Darmona's men go to his left.
The Tuskens continue to attack.
"Sorry we took long Master!" Ahsoka speaks loud to get the Master to hear her regret.
"At least I'm still alive at the moment. And the Sand People appear to have some strong weapons. Where would they have gotten them?" Obi-Wan questions.
"I'd give a few answers to the Master Kenobi, but this blaster fire is distracting!" Ahsoka says.
Then Darmona's head pokes towards Ahsoka. "Hey Commander Tano! Let us deal with it! We love a good battle!"
"If it keeps us from dying, sure!" Ahsoka says.
"Yes! C'mon boys let's show them something to be afraid of!" Darmona cries.
The group of five push forward, thus becoming the Sand People's targets. What was a real challenge for the Tusken Raiders was that the fives Clones were dangerous working with each other, Darmona specially.
As they took all the Sand People on the hill, they quickly made their way up to advance. As the group of five made it to the top, they went back a bit. It was something they had seen, but it didn't stop their shooting.
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan decided to see what was happening for themselves. They climbed the hill and saw Darmona firing his Z-6 away in swarms from left to right and back again. The others had their DC-15S Blasters firing constantly trying to avoid getting blasted.
As Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and the others got up the hill, they saw what made Darmona's team continue fighting more intensely.
There was literally over a hundred Sand People with Blasters beyond their kind. There was some trenches filled with Sand People blasting away at Darmona's lines.
Ahsoka didn't like this. Nor did Obi-Wan. These Tusken Raiders seemed to have been stealing or possibly buying weapons and are trying to invade something. It didn't matter what the reason was anymore, as long as they cleared the Sand People from here and see what else they are hiding.
The first trench was only twenty feet away. They could get to some easier cover if they take it as there isn't any Sand People occupying it. The only problem is that they have loads of weapons that seemed similar to something they noticed before. These weapons were firing blue lasers like the Clones ones were.
It seemed like Ahsoka and her ally's were sitting ducks where they were. What could they do?
But then, some sounds came from the sky up ahead of Ahsoka and her Clones. Gunships were coming. They are the ones they Ahsoka called for. Their lights shined over the Sand People attack their allies. The Gunships then decided to land near Ahsoka's shuttle to send reinforcements.
At the Shuttle, the all the other Clones exited it and climbed up the hill, but Numa was quick to notice it too. She wasn't seen following behind them.
Boil had his DC blasting in the shadows the moon light didn't cover. He didn't like targets he couldn't see.
Boil could hear more footsteps coming behind him and then land on his side. Jessie, Kix and Tup had joined him on that side. Then there was that mysterious Clone that no one knew the nickname of. CT-0000/11.
CT-0000/11 had his DC-15x in his hands and fired into the shadows where the blue blasts come from. One by one, the enemy was killed by each shot. Each Tusken Soldier groan loud in pain as they were killed.
The LAAT's dropped off Clone Troopers. Each Gunship contained ten each. Six Clones from each Gunship would had DC-15S Carbines with a riot shield and the other four would have DC-15A Rifles.
AT-RT's climb the hill to give the others some support. The Walkers then charged towards the Sand People in the trenches with their under barrel cannons. The Sand People foolishly tried to fire at the legs of the Recon Transports, but that did nothing because their aim was off. They could barely attack the metal chicken legs.
The Clones with the riot shields came up the hill and blasted while they moved forward. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and the others decided to use them as cover for advancing on the Sand people.
Even past the trenches, Tusken Raiders just kept coming from the shadows.
"Master, where are all these Sand People coming from?!" Ahsoka asked deeply annoyed and tired.
"I'm not sure, either. As I said, it is strange that they managed to get their hands on weapons like these, but they are oddly similar to Clone Blasters!" Obi-Wan replied.
"General, I believe these are in fact Clone Trooper weapons! They have the same size, the same effects, the same color blasts and sounds! I'm sure it proves it!" Boil says.
"Well if it's true Boil, then we have quite an interesting battle to win!" Obi-Wan says back.
Behind Boil, Numa followed him. She caught up to him and grabbed his back.
Boil looked behind him to see what had done that. He instantly freaked out when he saw a little girl following him.
"Numa? Are you crazy?! You need to stay back with the ships!" Boil says.
Obi-Wan sees Boil giving a lecture to the little girl. She started getting tears in her eyes after Boil yelled at her. He also decided to assist in the situation.
"Nerra..." She says weakly, and cries.
"Boil, be calm. She has followed us out here already. There is no need to yell at her for it. After all, she was only looking out for you, like a true sister would." Obi-Wan says.
Boil looks at Obi-Wan and back to Numa, who had her hands at her eyes. Boil understood what his General was saying now and grabbed Numa by her shoulders.
"Hey kid, I'm just trying to protect you like a real guardian. I keep the peace from falling, and keep the evil from growing. I just don't want to lose you like Waxer." Boil says softly.
Numa couldn't understand what Boil was saying, but Obi-Wan offered the translation for her.
"Hey kid, I'm just trying to protect you like a real guardian. I keep the peace from falling, and keep the evil from growing. I just don't want to lose you like Waxer."
Numa looked at Obi-Wan listening to his words translated to her from Boil. She instantly grabs Boil in a breath stealing hug.
While Boil decided to hug back, Obi-Wan had only his Lightsaber activated and deflected incoming Blaster fire. He knew the battle was dangerous right now and a situation like this is definitely not needed.
"I do hope you plan on rapping this all up Boil. I don't like it when the enemy is always firing at us while we look away." Obi-Wan says.
"Oh, right. Sorry General Kenobi." Boil says rubbing the top of his helmet. Boil grabs Numa's hand and both he and Obi-Wan went behind a riot shield Clone.
As the riot shield Clones moved forward, the Clones with Rifles took aim while moving forward fast to hit the trenches while blasting at the Tuskens. They made it to the tranches and got into them. Their Rifles continued their fire at them. As the Sand People fought back, five Clones were killed since charging towards the trench.
The AT-RT Walkers had charged to the second trenches and blasted the Sand People away from it. The Walkers in a line jumped over them and fired at the others.
With the riot shielded Clones, they all stood in a line with the shields. They wouldn't be able to get blasted now. Obi-Wan and the others stood behind them and followed along. Rex decided to go around the riot shield Clones and get into the trench. As he looked at his fellow Clones in them, he saw that they had Mortars on their backs.
"Troopers, use your Mortars!" The Captain orders.
The Clones heard what the 501st Captain had ordered of them and put down the Mortars in the trenches. As they took aim of where the enemy would be standing, they mad sure the grenade flinging weapons wouldn't backfire and kill them as the end result. The riot shielded Clones stood in their lines before skipping trench one. Rex wanted to make sure there was no problems with the weapons.
"What is our status with the Mortars Soldiers?" Rex asks.
"Mortar one ready sir!"
"Mortar two ready sir!"
"Mortars three and four ready sir!"
"Five is ready sir!"
"Six is ready sir!"
"Mortar seven is set sir!"
"Mortar eight is ready Captain!"
All voices had confirmed the success of the weapons positions.
"FIRE!" Rex's voice yelled.
The Mortars all launched their grenades and they seemed to cause the down fall of a fair amount of Sand People.
Rex had gain some binoculars and looked at the area bombarded with the smoke and dust from the explosive dive bomb. It was hard to see. It was full of more smoke than the Mortar attack on Umbara- Umbara?!
Rex's thoughts on the Mortar attack on Umbara was unsettling for him. Not because of the weapons, but because of his enemy during that battle. He hates Umbara. He hopes to never set foot on that planet ever again. Damn General Krell.
The smoke was too thick to see past. Figures. After all, it is Tatooine. The desert planet of the galaxy. Sand covered the air in that space. He needed to know how the attack had gone. Maybe one of the AT-RT drivers would know?
"AT-RT one, this is Captain Rex. How did the attack go?" Rex asks speaking in his communicator.
"Captain, sir. It was amazing! You cleared out trenches three and four!" The AT-RT Driver exclaimed.
"Great to hear it Trooper. How many Sand People are left to fight?"
"Sir, I can make out around fifty by guess. You'll have to get up front to have a clear look of this." The Driver replies.
"Understood, stay where you are, we will move up." Rex says.
"Yes sir!" The Driver replies.
Once the communicator cut the signal, Rex pulled his arms into a sign to make his men move forward. Ahsoka, Fives and Obi-Wan just go around the Troops and meet with Rex at the front.
"How is everything going here Rex?" Ahsoka asks.
"We are making quick progress, Commander. We just need to fight the final wave before we can see if we can find clues to where they found this weaponry." Rex answers.
"Alright Rex." Ahsoka says. "And a job well done. Keep up the good work."
"Thanks Commander."
Behind the Clones with riot shields, Boil and Numa were following safely behind. The riot shielded Troopers kept jumping trench after trench to meet the AT-RT's. Boil, on the other hand did it a little differently. He grabbed Numa and picked her up. He is jumping the trenches with her in his hands. Numa couldn't help but smile to this. Her 'nerra' carrying her while jumping? It was funny to imagine.
Once Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Fives met with Rex, he was walking close to the Recon Transports. He looked past them and found at least fifty Sand People with Blaster Rifles aimed that the Republic Troopers. Rex reveals his dual DC-17 hand Blasters and walks with the AT-Rt's in front. The riot Clones stopped shielding themselves from the front and charged forward. It made Boil need to stop and put Numa down.
The AT-RT Walkers fired more blasts at the three last trenches and the Sand People in them were killed. the three trenches were very close to each other and proved very difficult to travel in.
The lasers from the Walkers started fires in these trenches. The trenches had rags that were used at each wall to avoid sand from coming in. But it appeared to be quite flame retardant. The population of the Sand People outside was reduced to only but twenty left. The riot shielded Clones broke of from their wall positions and fired rapidly at the remaining Tuskens.
The remain Tusken Warriors went mad and pulled out Gaderffii weapons. The Clones fired at the Stand People and they first fell to their knees and hands. Soon their chests and heads were on the ground. They had been slain by Blaster fire.
They had been coming from a building beyond the three trenches. It was large, but not well defended.
"Well I do suppose that brings an end to a Sand People crusade." Fives says.
"We should check their weaponry. I don't want them to have any left once we leave." Rex says strictly.
All Clones searched the weapons around the area for the weapons used by the Sand People. But Rex decided to look at the building they have found. it had some interesting looks about it. It had a large open doorway at the front that seemed to open and close when someone walked near it. It seemed to have been purposely been broken or it has no power to run it. The building was like a basic Tatooine house. No real windows or walls to make it have the title of a building. Who in the right mind would live in this dump?
"Hey Rex?"
Rex turns around and sees ARC Trooper Fives giving him a salute.
"Yes Fives?" Rex asks wondering about what Fives would say next.
"The other have looked at the weapon designs from the Tusken Raiders and we've discovered that they have been saving loads of DC-15A's as their premium model. I have no idea how they acquired our weapons, but I think someone has been playing with us. Corruption has been spread into the Republic and someone has been selling the Tuskens weapons. I'm sure of it!" Fives accuses the system.
"It's funny how I agree with you on that one, Fives." Rex says.
"I also recommend we look inside that building over there. It might have more of our Republic tech hidden inside." Fives says.
"Sure, we'll look right now. Get the men together and get some night vision lights." Rex orders.
Talking about how dark it would be gave Fives the creeps. He still had not recovered from his incident from the caves. How he almost wishes he could forget Echo right now! Blast it!
Minutes later, the two Jedi and all the Clones were right at the door ready to get in and find stuff inside.
"Stay alert! The Tusken Raiders have our weapons. We don't want the casualties to be high. Make this job quick and easy." Rex says. "And riot shields will be awkward in here, so we won't be needing them."
Clone Troopers with riot shields drop them and wait for the Captains orders to enter the building.
"Follow my lead men. We will sneak in when we get in deeper. Anything loud enough might upset any Sand People in here." Rex says.
The Clones gives nods to the ARC Captain and follow him in. Rex has his dual weapons aiming at each wall. Next Fives, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan walk in. Soon it was the Clones with the DC-15S Carbines, the others behind them had DC-15A's.
Inside the building, it's first known feature was a narrow hallway that leads twenty feet inside. The door frames were oval at the tops and head directly flat to the ground. Beyond the hall a large room was noticeable. Thirty feet space on each end, width and length. All walls on the inside pf the building, or stronghold, whatever the Tuskens consider it, remained Ahsoka of Jabba's palace. She remembered bringing the little Huttlet Rotta, which she called 'Stinky' to the palace Jabba owns. How she had missed that little Hutt, even though he did smell.
Then all of a sudden, a group Sand People shot up from behind some fallen tables and attacked the force invading their base. Five Clones were killed by the surprise attack. Obi-Wan instantly directed his Lightsaber towards the group of Sand People and jumped at the Tatooine creatures. He cut the weapons in the Tuskens hands and finished them after.
Other Clones blasted down halls where more where coming from. Tuskens were all over the sand building. Sand People hide in corners and fired at each Clone. The Clones managed to kill some spreading around halls. Most of the Tuskens were dead at this point.
"Spread out Troopers, and we will be able to secure this build a lot more thoroughly." Obi-Wan suggests.
The 501st Clones obeyed the Old Jedi General's words and lurked through each hall in groups of six or seven.
One group had six normal stranded GAR units in it with CT-0000/11 behind the group. The first two in the front of the group made quick looks around the area with the best of their abilities. These two Clones were in the same unit group on Kamino. It was they were a Domino like Fives was in a few years back. Lockpick and Dryside are two Clones who kept the Jango Fett look. They both enjoyed fighting.
"Hey Lockpick, think we'll have a fair challenge in this hall?" Dryside asks.
"I hope so Dryside. Or I'll be disappointed if we don't get a challenge." Lockpick answers.
As they reached through the end of the hall, they entered a room with a lot of doors to rooms. Lockpick was right next to a door and got punched in the face by a Tusken who was in the room beyond the door frame. Dryside tried to blast the attacker but missed the target. The Tusken then managed to get Dryside in the face and knocked him down with Lockpick. The Tusken then headed for the other Clones. This one was surprisingly fast which forced the other Clones to leap out of the way from them. But CT-0000/11 didn't move. Instead, he grabbed the Tuskens arms when they tried to punch him. The non-nicknamed Clone then put his arms around the Tuskens neck and bent it in a way the made a loud crack sound be heard. Other Tuskens in other rooms heard the neck snap and charged out of the other rooms.
Lockpick and Dryside slowly got up rubbing their helmet covered heads. Were it not for the helmets protecting their heads, they probably would have died from the wicked blows. CT-0000/11 decided it was time to act and abandoned the use of firearms to deal with the other enemies. The others didn't contain any weapons. Everything CT-0000/11 would do next would surprise the others in the long run.
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan lead a group in a large hall that contained a big amount of Sand People. The Tuskens fired at the group heading in the room. Tuskens were overrun very quickly and defeated in a short amount of time. With a Jedi Master and Jedi Knight on their side, no wonder why they would succeed quickly.
The other groups had advanced the halls to other Sand People which ended with a few more casualties. The sounds of Clones and Sand People firing was loud. Blue Blaster shots bounced, flew and hit throughout the building.
Obi-Wan who was next to Ahsoka, was sure they would have won very soon.
"Ahsoka, I sense we are almost finished with this attack. We should look for weapons and credits before we leave." Obi-Wan suggests.
"Right, Master Kenobi." Ahsoka replies. "I hope we find stuff we need, or this attack will seem useless."
"I trust we will find something useful young Knight. Be patient." Obi-Wan says.
Later on, the building was secure from the Sand People. Clones were searching the area for surviving enemies, removing them or arresting them. However, they wouldn't be able to keep them captured. They would be released back to their natural habitat after they needed to leave.
Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Rex were at a large door that appeared to be hiding something important. The door actually looked like a military grade security barrier. it was also made from strong metal that could possibly compete with the armor on an Acclamator. Whatever was behind the door here was obviously something worth fight for. But with the Tuskens standards of 'advanced' military hardware, it might be what they have only stored for a 'rainy' day. The one thing that seemed like the only piece of hardware that seemed to be technological was a security pad on the wall next to the sealed door.
A Clone Trooper, who was a technician worked on the security pad on the door. He was a fine Trooper. Being on Tatooine has shown him how things can go weird. This is also his second time hacking into a security pad. Last time was on Yavin IV when Ahsoka needed to send A6 Juggernaut Tanks into an area full of anti-air cannons. She had also grown an interest in seeing those tanks in action. Maybe she could get herself a personal one someday.
The Clone technician finished his job and the door opened up in his success. He was glad he was good at such things. it was his primary skill he never did take for granted. At first on Kamino during the early days when he was in his teen body years, he didn't show much skill in himself, but one day he had taken drastic measures to save his entire city pod from crashing into the sea. It was a long story.
"Great work Trill." Rex confirmed to the Clone technician.
"Thank you sir. I do try my best." Trill replies.
Obi-Wan took the first steps into the room that was beyond the door. It was clear that the cold air that was infesting the room implied that it stretched very far The Jedi Master took a sigh and it echoed through the room loudly. Apparently it was very huge.
Rex and Ahsoka step in next and Rex could see from lighting outside the door that there was a switch next to the inner doors frame. "General, Commander! I've found a light switch!" Rex announces as he pulled it up.
Beams of lined up lights on the ceiling flickered down the room. What was in the room was disturbing to see. All around the room there was loads of Clone Wars military hardware. Swamp Speeders, Pod Walkers (AT-APs), DC-15A's, DC-15S', Battle Droid E-5 Blast Rifles and loads of metal crates carrying unknown items.
"This is quite disturbing." Obi-Wan points out. "How in the name of the Galactic Republic, did the Sand people gain possession of all this weaponry?"
"Master, we've been asking that question for a while now, we won't find out the answers by asking among ourselves." Ahsoka says.
"I know young one, but this is completely different now." Obi-Wan says. "It is one thing for our enemy to get our weapons and our armor, but when they can manage to capture our vehicles and transports. We should take these with us."
"We will Master, I see a door on the other side of the room. It is big enough for the stuff to be taken out." Ahsoka says.
"Order everyone to assist in anyway they can. We shouldn't stay in one spot for too long." Obi-Wan advises.
"We'll be finished before anyone else stumbles into this mess Master. Right Rex?" Ahsoka asks her Captain.
"Ha, you bet kid." Rex replies.
"Then let's get started." Obi-Wan says.
Sometime later:
The last transports took away the last of the vehicles. It was actually a long task. It took around an hour to get all the Walkers and Speeders out of the room, but it took longer to send them to the Sharkbite. The Venator Cruiser needed more space to set the new Vehicles in. The crates were put inside the Gunships and they got send into hangers to offload them there. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and their Clones were finished here. The Tuskens didn't have any military grade hardware left. Or so they think...
Ahsoka's Shuttle was the last one to leave the sandy ground of Tatooine. Their Shuttle had taken one of the crates to look inside for themselves.
"Well, while we head to the Sharkbite, I guess we could take a look inside that crate of ours and see what is inside of it." Fives says, stretching and letting out a yawn.
"We can I guess." Ahsoka replies. "Odd, take the pilots seat."
Davijaann nods and took Ahsoka's spot.
Ahsoka quickly undid the clips holding the cargo crates lid on and she lifted it up and in front of her eyes, she got a very shinny glow in front of her. However, Fives was the one to speak first.
"CREDITS?" Fives asked shocked that they found a source of survival. "We must be doing something right for the galaxy if we found these!"
"Fives, get a grip." Rex says. "You reminding me of Pirates right now. Or maybe even Cad Bane."
"Of course, Bane was a Bounty Hunter, not a Pirate." Obi-Wan says. "And no this is no coincidence that we need credits and we just find some. It is the Force calling to our destiny, your destiny."
"I hope we find this much luck in the future. We could use the help." Rex says.
"It isn't luck Rex, it is destiny." Obi-Wan says. "You are playing an important part within the Galaxy now. I suggest we create a new Republic."
"I second that General Kenobi. We already decided on creating a new one anyway." Rex says.
"Yeah, we just need more support and a new planet with enough resources." Fives adds.
"Well we normally get our main Republic Attack Cruisers from Kuat Fives, but we can't get anything from there. That place must be swarming with Imperial Ships and Fighters." Jessie says.
"We can survive with the ships we've got Jessie. But we need new builders to make the required repairs and new Star Ships." Fives says.
"And we need to repair our other ship we've got busted." Rex added.
"Commander Tano, we've got a message delivered to us from the Admiral of the Sharkbite. It is Senator Organa who is on this message. Want me to put it through?" Davijaann asks.
"Please Oddball." Ahsoka replies.
A visual image of the Senator appears standing. Organa has his hands held tightly within each other. Ahsoka could tell by the way he appeared that he wanted to settle a deal with her. But what could this deal be exactly?
Then Bail started. "Greetings Jedi Knight Tano. I have you to thank for saving us at Padme's funeral. While I couldn't be sure if we would or wouldn't have been attacked earlier, it doesn't matter right now. As of since then, I've been wanting to give you an opportunity to welcome you Alderaan and use the planet as a secret base of operations. I normally try to keep the war away from my planet, specially my town I live in, but this is a special case I have in my hands. The Galactic Empire is dangerous and now spreads fear an intimidation as it's key influence in the galaxy now. The Republic has been fighting a war between the Confederacy of Independent Systems for three whole years and now here we are as we watch it walk into the steps of the Trade Federations. You are all we have found that even obeys the civilized meaning of a true Republic. I wish for you to personally come to Alderaan with some of your most trusted men. Please consider this as a request, not an order off me. I make no demands to upset you. Thank you Knight Tano." The message ends.
"He must spend a lot of time doing debating for peace. No wonder the message was so long." Ahsoka comments.
"Yes. I've never had an eye for politics. But will you answer his call Ahsoka and visit him personally?" Obi-Wan asks.
"I'll do it when I am ready. But I really need to find a proper place to put our dead Soldiers to rest. They've fought bravely from the battle of Yavin to here at this point." Ahsoka replied.
"I think it would best if we cremated them and buried their ashes somewhere." Kix says.
"What Kix?" Fives asks. "Where do you suppose we could do this then?"
Kix thinks for a minute and replies. "Yavin IV."
"But that place was a war zone Kix." Fives says.
"It's not all a war zone Fives. And I'm sure that would be a good place to start a base too." Ahsoka says.
"But the Senator said we could use Alderaan as a base for us." Fives says. "Are you still deciding if or not we go to Organa's palace?"
"Fives, you being an ARC Trooper, I'd assume you'd have a brain."Darmona says in a rough voice. "A real army has more than one base. other wise we'd be surrounded by the enemy before we'd even get the chance to fire the fire shot."
Fives gives an awkward laugh. "Yeah , you're right Darmona. But we shouldn't waste time on plans when we could be under attack. If we need a plan, it should be about how we stop ourselves from getting killed."
"We already have a plan Fives. Yavin IV first, Alderaan second." Rex says sternly.
"Uh, yeah I see. Sorry if I'm getting all edgy. I've not been able to get some rest recently." Fives says apologizing.
"It's OK Fives. We'll have a rest when he head to Yavin." Rex says.
"Well, I'm glad to know we've sorted this little dispute, but we should get the Admiral to leave once we get inside the Cruiser." Obi-Wan suggests.
"Good idea Master." Ahsoka says. "Oddball, send the message though to the Admiral. Tell him to get to Yavin when we are in the force field."
"Roger that Commander." Davijaann replies.
And that concludes the end of this episode.
The idea of Sand People was to give a hint that weapons from the Clone Wars are starting to go more public. Were it not for the Star Wars game "Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption Expansion." The only things I got referenced from them though is like how Jabba the Hutt got in control of AT-AP Walkers, and Swamp Speeders (How did Jabba's Pirates find them exactly?)
I've also wanted to put the Tusken Raiders as a scene for this as I've recently gained an interest in them. I dunno why I got one for them lol.
I know you all have had interest in seeing this story and it's characters so far, but the next episode will start with a different character. It isn't an OC. I won't be anymore more about this character, but I bet you all would have guessed who this person is.
Farewell, until next time! :D
