Chapter X
Heiwa
The ship soon came out of hyperspace as the team begins getting ready to land. The team are strapped in as they are told about the electrical storm they will need to get through. Ahsoka sat next to Obi Wan, while Shinji sat next to Ahsoka. Their team are seen sitting across from them as they check their weapons.
Captain Katsumoto is in the cockpit with the pilots, which turn out to be droids. These droids were made to help fly ships through any sort of storms or dangerous conditions normal pilots can't fly in. That's why these droids were made to help fly in these sort of storms. The Jedi were also told they have the equipment needed to fly through the storm, but they never used them to fly actual people to the planet for obvious reasons.
Ahsoka looks out through the viewport where she sees them flying to the planet as the light begins going dark. Soon the ship begins shaking a little as she could hear the sound of thunder around them and lightning flashing from the viewport.
Ahsoka turns to Shinji who kept looking out the window. "How did these storms happen by the way? I never heard Heiwa having these sort of storms happening before."
"I always thought it was our own government's fault when they did something to affect the weather on our planet. Although my dad thinks it was one of these creatures that did it," Shinji replied as he continued looking out the window without turning away. "Either way, let's just hope we don't come across something in here we don't want to meet."
Fives looks out the window himself to see purple lightning flashing before them. The lights in the ship turned to red as it got dim.
"Hey Rex, think this equipment the Heiwan people put together will get us through this storm?" Fives asked.
Captain Rex could hear the ship creaking a little as loud thunder sounds can be heard from outside. "If not then this will be a short-lived trip then."
Fives is hoping it won't be short-lived as he looks over to the Heiwan soldiers who seem calm. He turns to one of them who is sitting next to him and tries to start up a conversation. "Arcee, right? You guys ever done something like this before?"
The sniper, Arcee looks up at Fives and replied in her foreign accent. "More than you Clones."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Fives asked as he leans in close before the woman quickly took out her knife then moves it near his neck causing both teams to move their weapons out.
Arcee though kept her weapon near his neck and smiled. "It means unlike you Clones we don't fight against mindless machines. We were trained to fight against monsters, like the ones down below."
"Arcee," Arcee turns around to see Kairi giving her a stern look. "Weapon down, now."
Arcee quickly pulls her weapon away and bows her head. "Hai, I apologize."
Fives moves back and rubs his neck where the blade was at. Rex leans in and elbows him gently on the shoulder. "Careful Fives, we aren't working with any group of normal soldiers. These soldiers were trained to fight something we were never trained to fight before."
Ahsoka and Obi Wan saw the exchange as they were prepared to step in. Shinji stopped them though as the second-in-command managed to calm things down.
"Heiwan warriors trained at a young age and are taught to fight against any foe in any environment. Of course, these kids choose to join and choose to train so they can fight to protect their home," Shinji explained as he looks at each of the warriors before them. "All five were personally trained by Captain Katsumoto. All either lost their families or were abandoned as kids. All five were present when our home was lost to the monsters. And all five were trained to fight these creatures."
Obi Wan was impressed when he heard that all five were trained by Captain Katsumoto. He figured he would choose these warriors who he trusts. He just didn't expect to hear he trained them himself and at a young age.
"Were you trained by Captain Katsumoto as well?" Obi Wan asked.
Shinji nods in response. "I got only half-way in my training though before I was transferred to be trained in being spy. So, I never finished my training with him, but still glad to be working with his team and with those he trusts."
"Well, let's hope they won't have to fight these monsters then," said Ahsoka as they feel the storm beginning to die down and the lights begin to come back to normal.
Soon the team see out the window to find they are out of the storm. Shinji looks out to find they made it. They are back home. He couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness, but also sadness when he saw his home in ruins.
"Time has not aged well for you," he whispered as they hear Captain Katsumoto walking into the room.
"Good news and bad news," Captain Katsumoto began. "Good news we are close to our landing site. The bad news is the equipment needed to help the ship fly got damaged. It will take the droids time to fix the ship. So, we find our hostages, we take one prisoner alive, and we return to the ship."
"How much time till they fix it?" Commander Cody asked.
"An hour at best," Captain Katsumoto replied as he turns to Obi Wan. "Which means once we find our hostages and return to the ship we will have to wait. Without attracting any unwanted attention. Any questions?"
Captain Rex raised his hand. "What happens if we do run into one of your monsters?"
Captain Katsumoto took out a knife and tosses it to Rex. "Then you better hope you kill it quickly before it tries eating you alive. Any other questions?" the room remain silent as the captain puts on his helmet. "Then let us get ready."
The Clones and Heiwan soldiers begin putting on their helmets while getting their weapons. Ahsoka and Obi Wan get their helmets as well. They were given the helmets just in case they run into trouble. The helmets are designed to help alert them of any trouble and detect any heat signature.
The ship begins to land as the landing platform opens. The team soon run and jump out of the ship before their ride takes off to find a safe place for repairs. Once the ship took off the team begin heading to the location where the bounty hunters' ship is at. Shinji leads the team as he recalls the street they are on and make their way to their destination.
Captain Katsumoto and Obi Wan walked behind Shinji while their team set up a defensive position. Kairi is walking along with Ahsoka behind the two older men. Keisuke and Captain Rex besides Ahsoka keeping an eye out. Behind Kairi is Commander Cody and Okada with his mini-gun.
Fives and Arcee walk in the middle of the two groups. Behind the group are Toshiro, Cry, and Trapper. With Toshiro placing a small devices on the ground. With two different colors.
"What are those for?" Trapper asked.
"Beacon," Toshiro replied as he sets another tracker. "The blue is to make our way back to the ship in case we get lost. The red is to check for any seismic activities."
"Seismic? You mean it's to detect the ground shaking?" Crys asked as the three soldiers continue walking behind the group.
"Or underneath the ground," said Toshiro in an ominous tone.
As they walk Commander Cody turns to Okada as he is seen clutching the handle of his weapon. "Nervous, soldier?" Okada didn't say anything and continued walking. "I know you guys were trained for something like this, but I assume this is the first time you guys fought monsters, right?"
Okada again didn't say anything. Instead he kept looking around and even up at the sky to make sure nothing jumps them.
Commander Cody sighed as he turns to Keisuke in front of him then taps on his shoulder. "Your friend doesn't talk much does he?"
Keisuke turns to Cody and shook his head. "Can't do much for being a mute," he replied, which caused Cody to now understand why he didn't say anything. "Lost his voice during the evacuation. Lost his folks in the process, but he makes up for not walking with his listening."
"Sorry about that," said Commander Cody as he apologizes to Okada.
"He's fine with it," said Keisuke as he turns to Rex. "Not all of us have a problem with you Clones. We just don't like how you were all made to obey the Republic and not think for yourselves."
"We may serve the Republic, but we aren't mindless drones," said Captain Rex knowing it is true they have been known to do things despite disobeying orders. "Besides, aren't you the same too? Trained to follow orders?"
"Not all orders and to follow orders blindly can end up bringing nothing but shame," said Keisuke as he looks over their city. "It's because of following orders that caused many good people to die and lose everything."
Both Clones look at each other both thinking differently. Cody knew they were bred for one thing and that's following orders, while Rex though. Well, he knew from experience what happens when you obey an order without questioning and how bad it can turn out.
Fives listened in on what the two Clones were talking about when Acree elbows him. "Pay attention. I don't want anything to surprise us while we're here, Clone."
"The name is Fives and you don't need to tell me to be careful," said Fives as he turned his attention back at keeping an eye out. "I also get it you don't like us for following orders and because we weren't train to fight monsters."
"I don't hate you. I pity your kind for following orders blindly without thinking for yourselves," said Arcee as she turns towards him. "You were made to follow orders and be their puppet. I bet if your superiors told you to kill innocent people you would do it."
Her words caught Fives off-guard a little with what she said. Is that what everyone thinks? Clones as just mindless beings that follow orders like droids? He didn't think Heiwa felt this way about them.
Shinji stops the group when he moves his hands up. Captain Katsumoto gives his team a hand signal to be on their guard before he and Obi Wan approach Shinji.
"What is it? Something wrong?" Captain Katsumoto asked.
Shinji stares at the ruined buildings in front of him and sighed. "Yeah, according to the tracker the ship is on the other side of this building."
Obi Wan seems confused as he looks down at the tracker figuring they couldn't already be here. "That's impossible. The ship is still far from here. We couldn't have gotten there already."
Captain Katsumoto nods in agreement, but then looks at the tracker to find the ship is indeed on the other side of this building. "Maybe they moved to another spot then. But why?"
"I don't know…" Shinji turns to the two leading commanders. "What do you want to do?"
Obi Wan and Captain Katsumoto both knew they should try setting up. If the ship did move and it is around this building then they better take advantage of this situation. However, they both felt something doesn't feel right about this. So, they'll need to alter the plan a little.
"Arcee and Keisuke, go with two of the Clones to the nearby buildings," Captain Katsumoto ordered.
"Fives and Crys, go with them," Obi Wan ordered as their soldiers begin getting into position. "The rest go set up in the building and get into position. Ahsoka and I will lure the enemy out."
Captain Katsumoto leads the rest of the team inside, while Shinji follows them from behind. Meanwhile, Ahsoka and Obi Wan decided to alter the plan a little by getting the attention of the bounty hunters.
The two Jedi head around the building and try to see where the ship is at. They find a nearby abandoned vehicle and use it for cover as Obi Wan took out his binoculars. He sees the ship across from them and it appears to have suffered some damages.
"It looks like it was attacked by something," said Obi Wan as he hands Ahsoka the binoculars to see. "We'll have to assume they either abandoned the ship…"
"Or they are somewhere nearby," said Ahsoka as she hands the binocular back. "What do you think we should do?"
Obi Wan knew just walking towards the ship is too risky, especially if they run into some trouble. Sure, they have backup, but they should still be cautious. "Let's take this nice and slow. Maybe they are injured and will need help."
The two Jedi soon begin walking towards the ship, but they take their time. Going slowly as to not to attract any attention. They kept their guard up as they slowly continue walking towards the ship. They are halfway to the ship when Ahsoka noticed something moving nearby.
"Look out!" she activated her lightsabers as a turret appeared and opened fire at the Jedi.
Obi Wan noticed more turrets activating and uses his lightsaber to help deflect them. The two Jedi try to find some cover, but the turrets kept on firing at them until they were taken out. They look over to where the shots came from and figured it was Arcee and Fives.
"Ahsoka?" the two Jedi turn to the ship to find Padme emerging from the ship. "Master Kenobi? You two came."
"Senator Amidala!" Ahsoka walks over to the senator and is glad to find she is safe. "You're all right."
Padme nods in response. "I'm all right, but I am glad to see you came to save us…" she then noticed someone missing. "Where's Anakin?"
"He wasn't allow to come, but we came instead," said Obi Wan as he hears some noises coming from the building. "Anyone else with you?"
They see Captain Katsumoto emerging from the building with their men and the bounty hunters. All disarmed and cuffed as they are brought out from the building.
"We found these three inside," Captain Katsumoto replied. "It looks like they were setting up their position before we arrived."
"Great, you have us. Now can we get going before those things find us?" Cad Bane asked looking uneasy right now.
Ahsoka though felt something wasn't right. "Senator, if you are their hostages then why aren't you cuffed? And where is Haruo?"
Padme's expression changed to one of sadness before motioning for the Jedi to follow her. Captain Katsumoto and Shinji joined her as they head inside the ship. There they find Haruo placing a blanket over a body with an Anooba creature next to him whining in sadness. Haruo turns to the Jedi with a small smile forming.
"H-hey Ahsoka, glad to see you guys came to save us," said Haruo with his eyes looking very tired.
Padme stood by as the Jedi look over to see blood on Haruo's hands. Along with some medical tools near him. The best they can figure is someone got injured and he tried to help them. But it appears to be too late.
"I just wish you all arrived a little sooner," said Haruo as Ahsoka goes to him to check on his hands. "Don't worry, I'm not hurt. Of course, had it not been for Embo, Senator Amidala and I would be dead."
"Embo? One of the bounty hunters?" Obi Wan asked as he recognized the creature who appears to have bandages around his midsection. "I see, so you all came across one of the monsters of this planet?"
Haruo looks surprised as he turns to Captain Katsumoto who he also was surprised to see. "T-the emperor was okay with them knowing?"
Captain Katsumoto nods in response. "We trust them with this secret and to help us find you all."
Shinji walks in front of the captain and sees his brother. Haruo looks on shocked to see who came and stood in attention as his brother approached him.
"Hey…little brother," said Shinji to his brother for the first time in years. "Y-you got bigger. You all right?"
Haruo slowly nods in response as he looks up at his brother. "S-sort of. I um am glad to see you too…when did you get out?"
"Today," Shinji replied as he looks down at the bounty hunters' dead body. "You tried to save him. I take it he suffered injuries while saving you and the senator?"
Haruo looks down at Embo's body and nods in response. "Couldn't save him though. I guess I couldn't return the favor."
Shinji knew their mother was a medical doctor back home. She even taught them in case they get injured or find injured people. To treat them no matter if they are friend or foe. He figured his brother must have tried to help with this wounded bounty hunter after he saved them, but it wasn't enough.
"You did all you could and that's all that matters. I'm sure he would be glad to know you helped him as much as you were able to," said Shinji as he tries to help cheer his little brother up. "I'm sorry though that we didn't get here sooner. We had to make sure we had everything before we came here and encounter any more of these…"
"Monsters," said Padme as she gets involved in the conversation. "Haruo told us everything after we were attacked. He told us about why your government hid this from us, but I would like to know more on why no one else was told about this. I believe you owe us that much."
Captain Katsumoto nods in response. "Senator Darrow trusts you so we will tell you, but before we do that we must leave this planet first. We'll take the bounty hunters with us to pay for their crimes."
"I think they would rather be arrested than stay here," said Haruo as he turns to the body of Embo. "Captain, would it be all right if we took Embo's body back? To give him a proper burial for saving our lives?"
Captain Katsumoto didn't like the idea of giving this criminal any sort of burial, but if he saved the lives of the hostages in exchange for his own then…"Very well, but let us be quick about it."
Haruo nods as he goes to pick up the body, but sees his brother helping him. "I'll take him, let's get going," said Shinji as he helps the body up as they begin leaving the ship.
They make it outside to see the team has regrouped. "All right, let's get going before…"
Suddenly Captain Katsumoto got cut off when they felt the ground shaking. This caused the Heiwa soldiers to take out their weapons and get into fighting position. The bounty hunters though felt uneasy knowing what is coming. Even shouting for them to get them out, but they were ignored.
Ahsoka and Obi Wan got the civilians back as Captain Katsumoto took out his sword. "Keep your guard up! All of you!" he shouted as something begins breaking through from the ground.
A large green skinned work-like monster emerged from the ground as it lets out a loud roar. The Heiwan and Clone soldiers took aim then opened fire at the monster. The worm monster roared as the blasters from the Clones bounced off its body, but the blasters from the Heiwan soldiers the hits appear more minor. The worm monster turns to the soldiers and leaps over.
"Look out!" the Clones and Heiwan soldiers moved out of the way as the bounty hunters were pulled away by Obi Wan.
Captain Katsumoto charges at the creature and stabs right at the side of the creature. The worm monster roared loudly as it felt something jabbing inside of it. It starts to move around, but the captain refused to let go. His soldiers noticed this and charge with their own blades as they stab at the side of the monster.
The monster moved its claws out as it brings it down on the ones attacking it. The soldiers all leaped out of the way as the monster swings its large club tail at the group. However, the soldiers all duck as the tail missed them. The Clones opened fire at the creature, but this time go right for the eyes as the monster roared in pain. The Jedi leap over and land on the back of the creature as they bring their lightsabers down on it.
The worm monster roared loudly as it begins moving around trying to get them off of its back. Captain Katsumoto charges at the creature again, but this time goes right for the legs. It cuts through them all as the monster falls to its side. Losing its balance as the Jedi leap off of it.
The Heiwan and Clone soldiers aim their weapons at the belly of the monster then opened fire. Their shots managed to pierce through the monster as they begin wounding it. However, it was still moving so the five Heiwa soldiers order the Clones to stand down before they charge at the worm monster. They thrusts their swords and stab the monster before they begin slicing it down in the middle.
They pull away before reaching the head and see the monster stopped moving. They stood back as it begins bleeding out.
"Well, that wasn't so bad," said Crys as he sees the worm monster is dead. "I guess thought you guys said these things would be tougher."
"They are," said Keisuke as the Heiwan soldiers kept their grip on their weapons. "This was too easy. I also doubt it's what the bounty hunters encountered earlier."
"It's not," said Boba Fett as he spoke out. "What attacked us was bigger and…" he stopped when he heard something flying over them. "It's here!"
The group look up to see a large winged creature appear out of nowhere. It flew down and lands between the two teams. It brought down its slender hind limbs, with flat, broad feet ending in two hook-like toes, and letting out a loud roar with two large wings emerging behind it. The team open fire on the creature as it swings its wings causing the building to come down on the group.
The team begin running away as the building was coming down on them. They all run for cover towards the tunnels nearby. The team though is cut off with the Clones and Heiwan soldiers going to one tunnel and the others to the tunnel on the other side. Due to the dead monster it cut the team's path in half and forced them to be separated.
Shinji helps his brother and the others down the tunnel just before the building came down on them. Just Shinji joined the others he heard something he hasn't heard in a long time. He goes into the tunnel and looks up to see a large blue blast firing past him and hitting the winged-monster. He looks on in shock recognizing the blast before he is pulled into the tunnel by Ahsoka as the building came crashing down.
The last thing he remembered hearing was the sound of a familiar roar. Before everything went dark as they entered the tunnels.
That's the end of the chapter and it looks like the team encountered their first attack with these monsters. Though it didn't seem to go very well huh? However, it looks like they got some help from a familiar monster. I bet some can already guess who it is.
How will things go now that the team appear separate from each other? Will the Heiwan soldiers make it out alive with the Clone soldiers? Will the group survive as well or encounter something that might try to kill them? And what will happen when they find more monsters?
