And we are back to Star Wars: Clone Rebellion!
This episode mainly takes place on Yavin between the main cast such as Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Rex, Fives and Boil talking. While it may sound boring, there will be interesting bits to put in. I promise.
Here is the story…
Survival on Coruscant! Jedi Master Mace Windu was attacked by Clone Troopers who led him in a chase that gained Mace an alley by the name of Helltera! After running with Helltera, Mace went to a deadened but was saved by surviving Jedi Temple guards, who have him safely hidden in an abandoned apartment as a secret Jedi base! And now, Ahsoka Tano's company is searching for a new base, on the moon Yavin IV!"
Yavin IV:
Ahsoka's Swamp Speeder hovered over the forth moon's planet life shaking it with its vibrations that rumbled in the air.
The other Swamp Speeders did the same while the AT-RT Recon Walkers follow leaving caved in mud spots in the soggy ground. Once passed but, the Walkers left the prints behind showing their interesting marks from the stomping.
Clones continued to walk on the sides of the vehicles.. The rain was quite intense and it made the top half of their armor look more clean, but the bottom half was more dirty due to the large groups trekking though he muddy surface.
Ahsoka was busy trying to avoid trees and flying mud from splatting all over her.
A group of four Clones ran to Ahsoka's Speeder and overlooked her. The first one had a DC-15S Carbine and the other three had DC-15A Rifles.
"Sir, may be scout up ahead to see what there is to see?" the leading Clone asked.
"Yes, go ahead Jerman." Ahsoka says giving the four Clones the OK to go.
"Thank you sir." Jerman says and charged off with the three other Clones.
Meanwhile, Rex was manning the front Blasters. He was looking all around their path making sure no dangerous threats would suddenly jump out and attack them. It was an important job for them. Fives had his DC-15S Carbine and aimed at the front. So far Ahsoka was only going up a narrow path and could hear the chatter behind her from Obi-Wan and the Clones.
Ahsoka sees Jerman's group of Clone rush up the hill they were climbing. Once Jerman was up here with his men they had stopped all together for roughly five seconds and charge back to Ahsoka. Ahsoka wondered what had made the group of four come running back, but whatever it was, it made them excited.
Jerman went up in front of Ahsoka's Swamp Speeder and she stopped. The line behind her almost collided with each other. Starting with Kenobi who didn't get a warning and almost banged into the back of Ahsoka's Speeder. Boil's and Numa's hearts had jumped due to the sudden stop and almost hitting the Speeder ahead. Other Speeders and Walkers were also lucky to not hit each other.
"Jerman, watch what you do to get our attention! You could have caused an accident!" Rex blasts out.
"Sorry sir." Jerman says. "But Commander, we've found a very good spot to start up a base. However, we don't have the required digging tools to do such a large protect I have in mind."
"Jerman, what are you suggesting? It better not be something close to impossible." Rex says skeptically.
"No sir it's not impossible. I think..." Jerman says.
Rex puts his right hand up on his helmets rangefinder in frustration, and sighs. "Jerman, what are you trying to do?"
"Captain, please let me explain. While this idea does sound crazy and maybe kind of stupid, it could be a good idea in the end." Jerman says.
"Jerman-" Rex was about to object, but Ahsoka cut him off.
"Go ahead Jerman. Tell us your idea." Ahsoka says.
"Thanks Commander. Well as me and my team went up the hill to explore our surroundings, we saw a very promising looking mountain up ahead that is pretty far away. But when I looked at it, I saw a very good looking wall on it. The wall made me think that if we were to drill into it, we could make a pretty sweet base inside and we'd have our very own mountain base!" Jerman suggests.
"While your idea is somewhat refreshing Jerman, I don't see how we'd need a base in something to big. After all we only need a basic base to hide in and Senator Organa said we could have a secret base on Alderaan. Why go beyond what we can do just for a huge base when it will make us more noticeable?" Rex asks.
"Actually Rex, it could turn out to be a very good idea. By the sounds of it, it could be a main base for us." Ahsoka says.
"Commander?" Rex asks in disbelief.
"No Rex, I think it will work. Give Jerman a chance." Ahsoka says.
"Thanks Commander! Follow me and I'll show you!" Jerman says running with his squad up the hill again.
"Let's go guys." Ahsoka says. "And Fives, this time when we go and stop, you tell the rest of our group as well."
"I'll do that sir!" Fives says back.
Ahsoka sends her Swamp Speeder up the hill following the four Clone Troopers ahead. Fives stood up and leans against the large seat he was sitting on. Half way up the hill and the tanks were fighting with the climbing resistance of the steep walkway. For the AT-RTs however, they were built for walking and didn't need to drive up the hill when their metal feet basically ripped into the ground. Clones on foot take deep steps up fighting against the un-level foothold of the hill.
Jerman stops on top of the hill where tall grass was in place. The grass around the area was pretty steep and would be very difficult for anyone to just walk past. Luckily the path wasn't blocked up and it could let everyone through. Once Ahsoka hit the top she called Fives to stop everyone else.
"Fives?"
"Halt!" Fives yells turning back to everyone.
The cavalry stops about the same time as the sounds of hovering quieten down and the clanking of Walkers cease.
Boil rips of his helmet and takes a deep breath of the moons air. He also looked in the heavily clouded sky dripping water. He didn't care about the rain hitting him flat in the face or even his eyes.. it felt good to have his face not buried in a helmet all day. Boil's hair got wet and his chin was more or less wet considering his beard was hairy enough.
"Well at least we got a warning this time, right General- I mean, Obi-Wan?" Boil asks.
Obi-Wan looked at the 212th Soldier and replied. "Yes, well I really wouldn't like to end up in a wreak at this given moment. Specially during these times."
Boil looked back from the sky to his General, or ex-general. "Sir, I truly am sorry for what most of the Clone army has done to your Jedi Order. It was wrong and we shouldn't have don't such a cruel act. If there is anything I, or we can do you just say it."
"Boil-"
"No General! I don't want you to object such an offer. It isn't right..." Boil says.
"Boil please listen. I'm not giving up this offer you are trying to hand to me. In fact I'm deeply honored that you want to make up for the attack against the Jedi. But never did any Jedi hunting Boil. You never tried to kill me when Cody ordered my death. In fact, I actually felt your disturbed thoughts in the Force as I fell from the edge of the cliff. You never did plot my demise and I appreciated that. However if it is possible, I would like to get peace restored to planet Mandalore. If you can, please try to convince Ahsoka to start an invasion there." Obi-Wan says.
"Sir?" Boil asks surprised. "I'm surprised you want to do an invasion on Mandalore. I know that the first thing you do when in the middle of crisis's is try to avoid a large battle. Why choose there?"
Obi-Wan looks down at his boots and then forward looking at the back of Ahsoka's Swamp Speeder and sees Ahsoka walking to Jerman.
"Not many people know this Boil. The Duchess of Mandalore, Satine Kryze and me were very close. We had known each other for so long and she felt a lot for me. During the ending of the first year and second year of the Clone Wars, Satine had made me express my feelings to her when we are in the Senate building when she was being held hostage. I would have gladly left the Jedi Order for her. It was then that i realized that she was most precious to me. much later, her city Sundari was under attack from Darth Maul and the Death Watch." Obi-Wan takes a breath, and continues. "I had sneaked in without the Jedi Council noticing I had left. I had recovered Satine from the prison but failed. Darth Maul had killed her in the end. He said he would try to get revenge for what I did over ten years ago. Right before she had died, she- she told me she had always loved me."
Boil looked at his General with wide eyes shocked eyes. His General had found love in his life. Boil had assumed this was the first time, but it actually wasn't. Obi-Wan had a different love at one stage. Siri Tachi.
"I'm- I'm so sorry sir. I see why you want to take Mandalore for us." Boil says.
"No. Not for us. For Satine." Obi-Wan says quietly. "She never wanted any war to be driven to her planet. She never wanted the Republic to interfere with her affairs. She was strong willed and she was capable of defending the Mandalore city she had once controlled peacefully."
"I'm sure she was brave sir." Boil says.
"It was because of me she is gone. I could have done something to stop Maul then, but I didn't. This is all my killed her in cold blood and it is because I didn't react in time." Obi-Wan says sadly.
"No sir, it wasn't. It was Darth Maul who killed the Duchess. He only did it because he wanted to see you suffer." Boil says. "Sir, if you ever see Maul again. You get even with him."
"A Jedi does not seek revenge, Boil." Obi-Wan replies dully.
"It isn't revenge if you get even. It is only bringing justice to the galaxy. He might probably be murdering civilians right now and we both know he is doing a lot of harm with his brother." Boil says.
Obi-Wan though of Boil's words for a moment. It would make sense if Obi-Wan was to finish off the horned Sith. After all where ever that Phantom Menace went, death was assured when he and his brother were around.
"I see what you mean Boil." Obi-Wan says.
"Exactly General. Now please stop mopping about and focus on the now, sir." Boil says.
"Yes, of course." Obi-Wan says.
With Ahsoka, she was overlooking with Rex on the hill for Jerman's ideal location. Everything Jerman was looking for was all the way down hill from there, but fog had flown over.
"I can't see what you are talking about Jerman. You sure you didn't just imagine it? Seriously, a mountain is something we couldn't miss." Rex asks.
"Sir, I'm telling you it is there. But the fog is all over the front." Jerman replies.
Rex sighs and grabs a pair of binoculars.
"Jerman, this fog couldn't hide something that big." Rex says putting his helmet in his right hand and using his left hand to raise the binoculars to his eyes.
"Trust me Captain, you'll see it if you look closer. It is pretty far away." Jerman replies.
Rex looks around the area Jerman pointed to. But the fog in that location was so thick that all Rex could make out was the ground around it and the walls of moving cold white light around there.
"Jerman, I can't see a thing." Rex says.
"Sir, just keep, looking. The fog is just blocking the way. And the others saw it as well." Jerman says back. "See! Now the fog is clearing away!"
Rex continues to look into the fogged up area and sees the edge of the fog wave begin to fly past. Rex almost pulled down the binoculars but then he saw a large green wall of grass far up ahead. Rex saw this as something interesting and saw it grow higher and higher. Rex than zoomed the binoculars back out and checked to see how big this wall could be. When Rex zoomed back, he was surprised so see it increasing in size by an impressive amount. It was the mountain Jerman was speaking of.
"Whoa." Rex exclaims backing away a bit and bringing down the binoculars.
"See Captain? I wasn't fooling around with you!" Jerman says.
"I see I may have judged you too quickly Jerman. Sorry." Rex says.
Jerman nods to the Captain. And turn to his other three friends.
"So Rex, what did he find?" Ahsoka asks.
"Jerman appears to have found something quite impressive. The mountain he found is most likely the largest on this whole moon.: Rex says.
"How large?" Ahsoka asks.
"I don't know Commander. We'd need to get closer to see it better for ourselves." Rex says.
"Then our next action is clear. Get to the mountain ans get a better view." Ahsoka says. "C'mon Rex, get on the Speeder."
"Yes sir!" Rex says.
Wicket Company Fleet:
Takaata Omen was on his Venator-Class Star Destroyer named with Orskee on the bridge. They were discussing about their next move in the galaxy. So far the only thing they could think of is contracting the Torrent Company fleet. Ahsoka and Takaata had traded com channel codes so they had a secure connection with each other. Takaata's fleet replied upon four Venator-Class Star Destroyers and four Acclamator Class Assault Ships.
"Takaata sir, are you sure you want to contact Commander Ahsoka's fleet just yet? We can't take the chance our signals will be tracked by Imperial fleets." Orskee says.
"Orskee, I doubt the Imperials will think we are foolish enough to contact other fleets gone rouge. But since we are near the Yavin system, it would be a good time to contact her. After all, she did say that was the place her fleet would most likely be." Takaata says.
"I understand Takaata." Orskee says.
"Patch a clear signal though to Ahsoka Tano's fleet. I wish to speak to her right right." Takaata says.
"On it sir." Orskee says.
A few seconds button pressing and the hologram on the circle table shaped com started to turn into a person who looked like an Admiral.
"This is Admiral Maddax of the Sharkebite Venator. Your com channel code appears to be the one Commander Ahsoka Tano has given, is this correct?" The Admiral says.
"Yes. I am Jedi Master Takaata Omen, but I let people call me Takaata." Takaata says.
"Yes, you are the one Commander Tano has spoken of. I am Maddax. The Commander's current Admiral. It is a pleasure to meet you." Maddax says with a smile.
"It is a pleasure to meet a fine Admiral like you too. Most of mine abandoned us since the Purge began." Takaata says looking around the holo body of Maddox. "But where is Ahsoka? I cannot see her around you."
"Oh, the Commander decided to explore the Yavin IV surface to see if she'd be able to find a place for a base of operations and a place to burn the dead." Maddax explains.
"Ah, I see. May my Legion join up with yours, or is that up to your Commander?" Takaata asks.
"I'm sure Commander Tano won't mind. But you probably wouldn't be able to land on Yavin IV. It was hard enough for us to find a spot to even drop one Destroyer." Maddax explains.
"Don't worry, there are alternatives to meeting with Tano." Takaata says. "I'll be arriving shortly. Until then."
"Very well. And please, don't try to attract any unwanted attention, such as Imperial resistance." Maddax says.
"Will do, see you very shortly." Takaata says.
The signal between Takaata and Maddax broke and the fleet continued it's path.
Yavin IV:
Ahsoka's Clones that were walking along the path were getting very tired of the rain and storms hitting them. Ever since they started going down hill, they didn't get any advantage from it, instead they constantly tripped from large rocks blending in with with the terrain around them. Some impacts with their armor actually dented it and bruised their legs beneath. Rex saw his men with their armor being smashed in and saw this as a question that needed answering.
"Hey Commander. I'm noticing that the Troopers on foot have been falling and denting their armor." Rex says.
"Are they alright Rex?" Ahsoka says looking back worried about the condition of her men.
"They'll be fine, but their armor being dented made me think of something." Rex says. "What do we do about getting our armor repaired and getting new parts?"
"Well Rex, what company made the armor Clones wear?" Ahsoka asks.
"It was Kaminoan Armorsmiths." Rex replies.
"Huh, I thought it was made by some company from a different planet." Ahsoka says.
"It is understandable that you think that Commander. What with Kamino mainly only being used for Cloning and only used for training grounds." Rex says.
"I do see what you are saying Rex, but I just don't know how we are going to be able to get more armor when Kamino must be heavily defended from intruders now, since the Emperor must keep a strict policy there." Ahsoka says.
"I hate to admit it, but I think you are right. Kamino is too dangerous to even orbit. Well should just find a new planet to make the armor we need." Rex suggests.
"No Rex, we can't just give up on Kamino. Down the line, adding Wicket Company to our ranks brings over unit count just somewhere above seven thousand Troops." Ahsoka says. "Down the line, we will need more Cloning technology. We could maybe bribe some Kaminoan or maybe come in with a small force of spies to steal what we need."
"Maybe. We'll think of something Commander." Rex says.
Ahsoka directs her attention to the front of her Swamp Speeder. As she lurks up forward, she sees the form of the mountain up ahead.
"Hey Rex, Fives look!" Ahsoka says.
Rex and Fives look ahead and sees what Ahsoka's attention was directed to.
"I see Commander. The mountain is very large." Rex replies.
"C'mon, let's check it out." Ahsoka says to her ARC Captain and ARC Trooper.
As the entire team stops in front of the mountain, vehicles power down and are parked in neat rows. Swamp Speeders calculated to be twenty of them, were in rows of two facing in a diagonal pattern. AT-RT Walkers were bent down to their knees and the drivers jumped out. The Clones that were on or in the vehicles got out and stretched due to being in the same positions.
The Clones who had been walking were sitting down leaning against the wall bending their legs a bit and leaving their Deece Blasters leaning against the rock wall. Rex couldn't blame them for doing this. Sure, the 501st has been on larger hiking adventures before, like when Pong Krell made the Clones walk for twelve hours and made the Clones go on a dangerous path to fight the Umbarans. But that time, the Clones didn't need to climb and avoid tripping over rocks in dark colored dirt. At least for them however, Kix was with the hikers and tended to their aches and pains.
"Good old Kix." Rex says quietly.
Ahsoka and Obi-Wan stood right around one of the rock walls and looked at it. It was solid stone, but it would be easy to break into. It was a good spot to build a base because the fog would come a lot during it's winter weather time. But during when it heats up, it would start to become a problem. When it hit summer on Yavin IV, everything at daytime was bright and the smallest exposure would be enough to become a target. But this mountain would be a very good place to start. Small adjustments around the area and the mountain would become less of a target.
"Well Ahsoka? What do you think?" Obi-Wan asks.
"I dunno Master Kenobi. This mountain is big. Very big. But I just don't know how we are supposed to build a base in such a big place. The size of this place could store up to maybe fifty Star Cruisers. Even if we get the construction equipment for the digging, I wouldn't know how to keep us from digging up out the top. In fact, this mountain is more a hill since it is shaped like one." Ahsoka explains.
"Well we can't say here forever. Senator Organa did request your presence on Alderaan and I don't think it is wise to keep a Senator waiting." Obi-Wan says. "You had best make up your mind now if we are to have a base on Yavin IV."
"Why am I in charge all of a sudden?" Ahsoka asks.
"Ahsoka, this your Legion now. My true Legion was with the 212th and I've been stripped from my orange band of Clones. It seems only fair that you have Rex and that of Torrent Company to follow you."
Ahsoka thinks for a minutes and feels the wall. This rocky form was actually pretty strong and could probably take the most normal bits of laser fire. It does seem wise to have more than one base after all. Another base was her idea and this mountain was more than what see would normally need. But even this mountain was a hard bargain to lose. It would make a good base in the future, once it is complete. It would work.
"OK. I'll do it. I'll assemble a base right inside this mountain."
"Now all you need is the materials and machinery to build this base." Obi-Wan points out.
"I know Master." Ahsoka says.
"Now Ahsoka, there is no reason for you to call me Master anymore. We are friends, call me by my first name." Obi-Wan says.
"Oh, OK... Obi-Wan." Ahsoka replies.
Obi-Wan smiles at Ahsoka. He was glad he could still have a friend to count on. Even if the only friends he had left was a green troll Jedi Master and a Togruta Jedi Knight who still needed training for experience against the Empire. Obi-Wan couldn't always watch her back. He'd have to eventually return to Tatooine and watch over baby Luke.
"Admiral Maddax?" Ahsoka calls to her communicator.
"Yes Commander Tano?" Maddax asks on the other end.
"Are the tanks ready? I need them to head over to my location and set up camp." Ahsoka asks.
"Copy that Commander Tano, the tanks are ready, but we'll need you to send you exact location before they can move out." Maddax says.
"Understood Maddax." Ahsoka says. "Rex, send out a flare."
"Yes sir!" Rex says pulling out a flare gun.
Rex shot the flare gun into the air and it's spark of blue light crashes into the sky and exploded into a Republican symbol.
Sharkbite:
Juggernaut tanks at the red Venator saw the blue spark of light fly into the sky and saw the Republican clan tag shin into the sky.
The Juggernaut tanks then follow the trail that Ahsoka took earlier and went to the mountain.
Wicket Company Fleet:
The fleet of four Venators and four Acclamators exit hyperspace right in the orbit of Yavin IV. In Takaata's ship, he and Orskee were standing at the front window and saw Ahsoka's fleet off in the distance. Takaata was surprised to see a very large fleet considering her Company's size. There were a lot of Venators counting up to fifteen and Acclamators counting up to ten.
As Takaata's fleet moved into Ahsoka's, a squad of four ARC-170 Starfighters flew into Takaata's fleet seeing if or not these were Imperial spies or a different rouge Republic fleet.
"Gold leader to lead Wicket Company Venator, please send your com channel codes now." The leading pilot ordered.
Takaata and Orskee had returned to the main terminal at this point and Takaata sends the code.
"Of course, here they are now." Takaata says sending it to the leader of the ARC-170 clones.
It took at least five seconds for the code to register to the ARC-170 Starfighters, but it was correct.
"Correct code received, welcome to Torrent Company fleet Master Omen." Gold leader welcomed.
"Call me Takaata." The grey haired Jedi said.
Takaata's fleet was careful when approaching Torrent Company's fleet. One mistake of hitting a Cruiser and hundreds of Clones would be killed in an instant, and losing one Clone in a pointless disaster was what they needed last. To create the difference of each fleet, Takaata's fleet had some thick brown layers added before Order 66 had occurred. It was an easy way to tell the difference between his ships and other Republic ships. Now it seemed useful under these circumstances.
Takaata's holo transmitter then began to project an image. Both the Jedi Master and the Wicket Company Clone Commander looked at it. it was Maddax.
"Greetings Takaata. It seems we are now within each others presence." Maddax said.
Takaata chuckles. "Well you are still on the surface of the planet, but I'll be heading down there very soon. I am eager to see Ahsoka again. After all, she does carry the spirit of something strong in her. I've felt it." Takaata says.
"I'm not sure I follow General, but welcome to Yavin IV." Maddax says. "Commander Tano will be thrilled to see you again."
"Haha, I hope so. She is a good kid." Takaata says. "I'm going to my shuttle right now. I'll speak with you once I am on the surface."
The holo transmission then cuts.
"C'mon Orskee, let's go meet our friends on Yavin." Takaata says.
"Right behind you." Orskee says.
Yavin IV:
Meanwhile, near the mountain, Kix and Jessie went walking somewhere nearby and found a corpse of a Death Watch Soldier. It was unknown what such a Soldier was doing here and how long. But it appeared Jessie had thought it was dropped here most recently. Both Kix and Jessie were right next to each other and barking things about it at each other.
"I'm telling you Kix, it moved!"
"Impossible, Jessie." Kix says. There are two things that would be wrong with what you say."
"Oh yeah? Name them!" Jessie demanded.
"Alright. For starters, Death Watch never play dead since they go by the Mandalorian code where there is no honor in being a 'coward', and if you can tell, this corpse is leaving a very horrific smell, which explains why Yavin's wildlife isn't going anywhere near this body. If this Death Watch member was alive, he wouldn't be playing dead like this."
Jessie aims at the corpse with his DC-15S and sniffs a bit. He smells the body's unique odor.
"Ew, gross..." Jessie says. "But the body did move, I was so sure of it."
"Admit it Jessie, it was just in your head. It didn't move." Kix says.
"I'm not really sure still..." Jessie says skeptically.
"What's going on here?" A voice demanded.
Both 501st Clones turn around and see the 501st Captain behind them.
"Captain, sir. While me and Kix went scouting around the area, we discovered a body of a Death Watch soldier. I smalls pretty bad and we think it's been here for a long time."
Rex looks at the dark blue Death Watch Soldier and pulls his DC-17 Hand Blaster from his right holster and fires five shots into the dead body.
ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP
Kix and Jessie were stunned for a few seconds.
Rex's Pistols then stopped smoking and then he put it back into his holster.
"Captain, what the hell?" Jessie asks.
"Sorry guys, but we must do what we can to keep ourselves as secure as possible." Rex says.
"But, he's already dead. Why fire at a corpse that has been here for maybe weeks?!" Kix asks.
"We didn't know if he was dead or not, it could have been a very bad ration he had." Rex says. "Trust me, I know when a Soldier is alive or dead."
Rex then went down on one knee and grabbed the helmet of the Death Watch Soldier. Kix and Jessie turn away in disgust. But Rex just ignored the sick expressions from the two Clones.
As Rex took of the helmet, his suspicions were answered.
"There we go. I was right." Rex says.
Kix and Jessie slowly turn to face the Death Watch Soldier. Rex was right. This Soldier was clearly alive. His face was actually in healthy appearance., aside from the horrified expression, which was the result of being blasted by Rex. Rex also found what was the cause of the bad smell. it wasn't a ration, it was meat. bad meat.
"Captain, you were right." Jessie says. "He was alive."
"Of course he was, vod." Rex says. "If he wasn't, I wouldn't have wasted any ammo on him."
"Who fired a Blaster?" A female voice asked. Ahsoka.
Rex turns around and faces his Commander.
"Commander, Jessie and Kix here found a Death Watch Soldier here who happened to be playing dead for us. I wasn't fooled and decide to deal with him." Rex explains.
Ahsoka looked at the body which now remained maskless. It was a Death Watch Soldier. Ahsoka could also see the five holes on his back too.
"Know where he came from boys?" Ahsoka asked.
"No sir, just the one." Jessie says.
Far behind, the group of four could hear some large brushing sounds. It was the Juggernaut tanks.
"Never mind, our ride is here." Ahsoka says. "Let's go."
As Ahsoka leaves the Death Watch soldier's body, Kix discovers what appears to a datapad laying on him.
"Hold on sir, I found a datapad!" Kix announces.
Ahsoka turns back to Kix, who then handed it to his Commander.
"Well, we might as well look at the hidden message within it. Play it Kix." Ahsoka says.
"Yes sir." Kix says.
Death Watch Message:
The Mandalorian Death Watch Soldier than appears in a holovid laying on the ground.
"It has been four months since the Death Watch has been Defeated by Bo Katan and her rouge Death Watch group. We've fallen under hard times since we had to leave Mandalore space. We crash landed on Yavin IV when our ship was attacked by Count Dooku. He betrayed us yet again and we are stuck on this forsaken planet. Our group has split off into four separate camp grounds. Two to the north of the mountain, one in the east and one in the west. If we don't get any help soon, we won't be able to fight the new Galactic Empire and crush everything in our path. Problem is we don't have the proper weapons and I came out her without any weapons, assuming that Yavin's lifeforms aren't dangerous in anyway. They appear not, but- uh oh, I see two Republic Soldiers! I had thought that after the battle against the last of the CIS forces ,they wouldn't return! I need to stop this recording before they realize I'm here!"
Death Watch Message (ends):
Ahsoka and the group look all around each other. This message was very recent. Very recent indeed.
"Well, that was quite interesting." Jessie says.
"Yeah, it was..." Ahsoka says.
"Ahsoka? Ahsoka, where did you go?" Obi-Wan's voice rang beyond the hill.
"Over here, Obi-Wan!" Ahsoka called back.
"Our ride is here, we don't want to be left behind, do we?" Obi-Wan asks.
"We're coming!" Ahsoka calls back. "C'mon guys."
Rex, Jessie, and Kix follow Ahsoka instantly. Kix didn't know what to do with the datapad but instead decided to keep it.
Ahsoka and her entire team begin to board a Juggernaut. Fives then looked at the vehicles they used to travel here. They were still where they were before.
"Uh, Commander? Why are we all boarding the tank when we have out rides we used to travel here?" Fives asks.
"Those vehicles are here for the campers, Fives." Ahsoka replied.
"What do you mean 'campers'?" Fives asked.
"We need to make sure no one discovers our location for the base here, the campers will be guards for our new base until we've got a fair amount of space." Ahsoka explains.
"Oh, alright. How many campers?" Fives asked.
"Four hundred. We transported them in the tanks and the tanks will serve as the main camps for each unit." Ahsoka says. "We are also having night watchers for when some Clones need to keep a sharp eye out."
"From what exactly?" Fives asks.
"Right now, the Death Watch." Ahsoka says. "Kix found a Death Watch body and a datapad on it. It was a message before Jessie and Kix found him. Rex had killed him."
"Well that explains the Blasters shots me you and the General had heard..." Fives says.
"Yeah, well we need to leave at once." Ahsoka says.
"Understood Commander." Fives says.
Sharkbite:
Takaata's Jedi Shuttle enters one of the docking backs and lands. A group of Clones from the 501st come to greet the Jedi Master. Once the hatch opens, Takaata and Orskee exit it.
"Greetings General." A Clone says with a salute. "The Admiral has requested us to take you to the bridge. Commander Tano will be here very shortly."
"Very well, and call me Takaata." Takaata says.
On the bridge, Takaata and Orskee find the Admiral Maddax. Maddax turns to face the Jedi Master and smiles.
"Greetings Takaata, it is to good to finally meet you." The Admiral says.
"I feel the same Maddax. A pleasure." Takaata says back with a positive tone in his voice.
Both Takaata and Maddax shake hands and chatter about, waiting for the Jedi Knight Ahsoka to return.
Minutes later, and Ahsoka and Obi-Wan had gotten to the bridge. She sees Takaata and Maddax speaking freely. Once both men see Ahsoka, Maddax takes that as his cue to leave.
Takaata was glad to see Ahsoka, but was actually more surprised to see Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Obi-Wan?" Takaata asks.
"Takaata?" Obi-Wan asks back.
"Kenobi! I'm glad you have survived!" Takaata says.
"Likewise." Obi-Wan says back.
"Now, now then. As much I'd love to chat, we need to find a plan to fight against the Empire." Takaata says. "My hope actually rests in Anakin Skywalker's ex-Padawan."
"Me?" Ahsoka asks. "But why me?"
"Because out of all the Jedi remaining in the galaxy, you are in the best condition and have some leverage." Takaata replies.
"What do you mean in the best of condition and have leverage?" Ahsoka asks.
"Ahsoka, do you see any reports from all over the galaxy of Jedi causing havoc to Imperials on planets? No, only you are, and you are doing good job. Even if you have short supplies and they are for high demand, you still have your advantages. Your Admiral Maddax explained to me that the well known Senator, Bail Organa is requesting for you to visit Alderaan very shortly. Knowing him specially, he isn't calling you there for nothing. I have a feeling he'll be able to solve some issues you may come to face when fighting against a menace like the Empire." Takaata explains to the Jedi Knight.
"Yes Takaata, I now know what you mean. After all, Senator Organa is most powerful and is of royalty." Ahsoka says.
"Then we shouldn't waste time on doing nothing. Plot the ship for Alderaan." Takaata says to Maddax.
"Of course sir. It is where Commander Tano told us to go anyway." Maddax says.
The Sharkbite lifts off into the air. It's landing gear bends up and slots into the underbelly of the large fighter and infantry carrier. It's engines wining and screeching as they begin to burn even more fuel. The Venator then aimed into orbit and went to meet up with the other Republican ships.
As, the Sharkbite gets to the fleet Ahsoka sends out new orders to her fleet to head to Yavin IV. Takaata does the same with his Venators and Acclamators. One by one, all ships used their hyperdrives to get to the Yavin system fast.
Coruscant Palpatine's office:
Darth Sidious was sitting in the dark with his attention based upon a hologram of a Shock Trooper. The Shock Trooper was Commander Fox. The Shock Trooper was colored in bright blue due to the fact holograms worked like that. It wasn't a normal screen. From the other end of the room, Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin and Admiral Wullf Yularen were standing in the shadows awaiting for the newly appointed Emperor to speak with them.
"My lord, we had managed to find the Jedi and I sent literally hundreds of the Coruscant Guards and Clones after him, but the Jedi managed to dispatch most of them." Commander Fox says.
"The Jedi had managed to kill most of the Guards. But a strange thing had happened with half of the dead." Commander Fox says. "Before my scout team had found the cut up Soldiers, we found remains of armor all over the place, even from and Acolyte."
Sidious think for a few seconds and then asks another question.
"Do you know who this Jedi is?" Darth Sidious asks.
"The Jedi had a purple blade on his Lightsaber. It is a safe bet that it is the Jedi master Mace Windu." Commander Fox answers.
Sidious' eyes than grew wide at that. Mace Windu is surely dead. he did drop to his death from this very office. Even if he did survive, Anakin did cut of the Jedi's hand and the Lightsaber would have broke upon hitting the ground or hitting a rooftop. Maybe mace's Lightsaber was made from a special resource.
"Very well Commander. Double your search." Sidious orders.
"Yes my lord." Commander Fox says before disappearing completely from the desk, leaving dark black shadows glowing all around.
The dark Emperor then focuses his attention among the two highly respected and powerful men who step forward.
"Emperor?" Tarkin asks with a pleased expression on his face. "What is it you desire?"
Tarkin was always waiting for the Jedi to one day fall. He was glad it had finally happened. Yularen had also been glad that Jedi were out of the military of the Republic, which is now the Empire. But he'd never admit that finishing the Jedi was the way to go.
"An Admiral of a ship had sent out a report earlier. It was about how weak our Fett Clones are. They are inferior to the Empire and must cease to be Cloned. But before we can stop them from being Cloned, we need a proper test subject." The Darth explains.
"Yes, excellent idea my lord." Tarkin says. "Where do we start looking for proper candidates?"
"You'll be looking all around Coruscant for only the best. Once you find the best, do whatever you can to get them into the medical center. Just make sure they are still alive until they've outdone their usefulness." Palpatine says.
"Yes my lord." Tarkin says.
Yularen looked at Tarkin with an unimpressed glare. Sure it sounded like a good idea for a new donor for new Clone DNA, but the Jango Fett Clone DNA has proven to be very reliable in the three years the male gen has been working with the GAR.
"Forgive me Emperor, but might I suggest re-considering that action? Jango Fett's DNA has proven itself in the past and it continues to show impressive signs till now. To throw away such DNA would be catastrophic if we make even the smallest of mistakes." Yularen says.
"That is foolish Admiral. We both know it is a risk to the new Imperial Navy's new standards." Sidious says rising from his seat. His red Guards who were between both sides of the Emperor also followed. "Fett Clones are a thing of the past. They were only useful for clearing the galaxy when I needed to exterminate the Jedi. My new apprentice Darth Vader took Viceroy and his associates out of the picture and ended the Trade Federation for good. Now what is only left is to shape the Empire into a new image."
"What are you planning to do?" Yularen asks assuming he wouldn't like the idea.
"Not only will we have new Clones, but we will also be making changes to the supplied armor, vehicles, ships and cruisers." Sidious says. "Forever will the old Republic be chanced from it's war filled age to it's new age with security and order."
Yularen looks at the Emperor like he was insane. Yularen was hard to scare and he didn't really care what way he looked at the Galactic Emperor. His reaction was what someone like the Emperor expected.
"But- but isn't that too cost worthy for our accounts?" Yularen asks. "Building new units for the Empire will be a waste. Our current ones run as efficient as we could ever have them."
"Do not try to justify my decisions Admiral. It is my decision and my decision alone." Sidious says trying to intimidate the high class Admiral.
Yularen wasn't intimidated one bit. He had learnt to live with threats, even if they were serious ones from very powerful people. Then the Emperor turns his attention to Tarkin.
"Admiral Tarkin, I'm trusting you with a very important task. I've received the newest design of a light Cruiser and I need you to sign the contracts to them on Esseles at the Damorian Manufacturing Corporation." Sidious says.
The Emperor pulls a holo disc and a datapad out from inside his robes. Tarkin looked over the datapad and an interesting ship of sorts appeared.
"The Tartan-class patrol Cruiser. Ah, it's got an advantage for destroying fighters. Excellent design and choice my lord." Tarkin says.
"Admiral Yularen, you go with Admiral Tarkin and assist him in anyway." Sidious orders.
"Yes, my lord." Admiral Yularen replied.
"Now leave. I have more important things to attend to." Sidious demanded.
"Yes my lord." Both Admirals say.
Sidious and the Admirals leave the office area. Once down on a main floor. The Admirals left a transport to get to a Cruiser waiting for them. The Sith Emperor however went to his own personal transport and was currently heading to another Cruiser where his apprentice was waiting. They would then be heading to the Death Star.
Once Sidious had entered his transport he began to think about the future of the Empire. He could feel the rise of total terror against their enemies, but also something buzzed on the edge of he dark lord's mind as he looked into the future. Yes he would gain more power as the Death Star would slowly be finished, but there was the added suspicion that somewhere along the line, he will lose important stuff, maybe ships, equipment and even his followers.
Alderaan Orbit:
Ahsoka's and Takaata's fleet exit hyperspace and were now orbiting the peaceful planet of Alderaan. From space at this distance, it glows beautiful colors of blue, green, brown and some silver. Blue was quite noticeably the water, green was easily noticeable to being grass, brown was the mountains with extreme layers of snow pretty much on most of the planet, and finally silver was the buildings where Ahsoka's contact Organa was residing at that moment. It was his home after all.
"Well, here we are. Alderaan. This place can be quite relaxing, specially when the nature basically flows with and breaths the Force. You'll love it here." Takaata says.
"I dunno. I've been to places that looked more exciting than here." Ahsoka says.
"Trust me young one, this place is a paradise in it's own name. You just need to get in touch with it once we are on the surface." Takaata says.
"Alright, but first we must actually get to the surface first before we talk about it." Ahsoka says.
In a few minutes a Jedi Shuttle was sent out from one of the two hangers. The crew contained on board was Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Takaata, Rex, Fives, Kix, Jessie, Tup, Boil, Numa, Wooley, Davajaan and Orskee.
The Shuttle then aims for Senator Bail Organa's estate. They would soon be with the Senator to have a major discussion and make a few deals.
Obi-Wan and Takaata did the piloting and Ahsoka Rex and Fives went to the ship's com terminal so they could contact Senator Organa.
Bail Organa's Palace:
Bail was currently eating in his large dinning room. This was one of those times when he wouldn't be eating with anyone else. His wife Breha was currently taking care of 'their' baby daughter Leia. Bail had created this new food arrangement where he'd only be eating salads. The point of eating healthy food in the future would mean trying to make Leia live healthy. Bail and Breha both wanted to take care of Leia properly. It was all they both could do to honor and protects Padme's daughter. They could only hope that baby Luke was being taken care of better than Leia since he was now living far away from his sister and was on the sand planet Tatooine.
Bail was sitting in that room for maybe about fifteen minutes as he was eating slowly. His mind was racing about how the future will turn out. Breha, Leia, Luke, the Jedi, the rouge Clones and the galaxy. How will everything react to the Empire and the Darkness in it and controlling it? It was bad enough for the Chancellor to make himself into an Emperor, but now he has turned the Republic to an Empire. It wasn't worth following knowing the citizens couldn't vote for changes in the Empire and the non-corrupt politicians couldn't gain power without being charged and executed.
Bail knew the Empire wasn't going to have power forever. It was when he had been in the Senate seeing the Emperor change the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire that he had decided to start a Rebellion to resist the Emperor's cruel intentions. It basically sounded like anything was better to follow than an Empire that corrupts worlds and creates martial law. He would hope that in future he'll find more people to fight for freedom and work with freedom. Having ex-Republic Soldiers going against the Empire was one thing, but it wouldn't last long if they didn't get more Clones and specially getting a cure for the rapid ageing.
A man with radio like head gear bursts into the room beyond door behind Bail. He slowly walks to Bail who already knew he was there. The man steps to Bail's left shoulder and spoke.
"You're Majesty, there is a large fleet of capital Ships above Alderaan." The man says.
Bail stops eating and pulled out his chair and stood up. He went beyond the door the man came from. The man followed.
"What activity has been reported from them?" Bail asks.
"Our surveillance footage caught a small Shuttle coming from what appeared to be the lead Cruiser. It is heading for this city right now." The man replied.
"I believe it is the rouge fleet who I had met up with not to long ago. It is Commander Ahsoka Tano's fleet. That Shuttle must contain her and General Obi-Wan Kenobi." Organa explains to the man.
After Bail had finished that sentence, the holo terminal made a beeping sound. The Senator pressed the activation button and then an image formed. It took a few seconds before it could create it correctly, but once it did, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, Clone ARC Captain Rex and ARC Trooper Fives were quite visible.
Bail smiles and turned back to the man. "See? These are my allies. Heroes of the future."
"Yes sir." The man says.
Bail turns to the hologram people again. "Hello Ahsoka. I'm glad you haven't come under any battles as I can see. But what took you so long to get here? I'm almost certain that being under the Imperials pressure now, you'd consider getting things done quicker."
"Well... I- we went back to Yavin IV. We were looking for another place to setup a base and give our dead a proper ceremony. I'm sorry if it is inconvenient for you Senator." Ahsoka says.
Bail looks down feeling guilty about the way he had announced that. It wasn't right to sound pushy, and he didn't mean nothing by it either.
"I'm sorry Ahsoka, I didn't mean to sound so offensive. We both have been under a lot of stress since the Jedi have fallen. All we can do is try to lift the spirits up here and there." Bail says.
"It's alright Senator. Anyway, when do we meet? My Shuttle is coming to the surface very soon." Ahsoka explains.
"Oh of course Ahsoka, just land on the main pad of the palace. I'll be heading there right now." Bail says giving the Jedi Knight instructions.
"Alright Senator." Ahsoka says before the transmission was cut off.
In a few minutes, Bail stood on a landing pad with two security guards standing right at the back near the elevators doors. Bail and the guards all had silver Blaster Pistols. The guards Blasters were in hand by their sides while Bail's was inside his holster. Bail was wearing a coat to go outside since it was freezing outside. The sun was out but the area also had a large sum of snow indicating it wasn't warm.
Bail then sees an object fly from deep in the clouds. it was colored with red and white. It was a Jedi Shuttle. Ahsoka's.
Bail smiles at this sight and stands firm where he was. It was about time they got everything arranged. The Shuttle was carefully piloted and it slowly dropped down on the pad.
In seconds, the loading ramp pulls out and taps on the surface of the landing pad. the inside of the small ship getting lighter as the day light sunk within.
Organa saw who had exited the transport and got a mild surprise at he sight of a new Jedi and Clone Commander in front of him. But the Senator did know Takaata from another time he had met him.
"Well, if it isn't Takaata Omen." Bail says announcing loudly. "I didn't know whether or not I'd see you again."
Takaata steps past the group he had traveled with and walked up to the Senator.
"I didn't think you'd still be assisting the Jedi, Bail. Since now we are on the verge of extinction." Takaata replies.
Bail nods to Takaata's reply. "Come, you all must be starving from that trip."
Everyone follows the Senator indoors and the guards close up from the outside once there was nothing left to grab.
Ahsoka's eyes widen to Bail. "Wow, I only just figured out I haven't have a decent meal in days! Now that I know that, I'm really starving!"
Bail laughs at the young Jedi Knight's exclamation. "I'm sure you are. But even though I am rich, I still cannot feed your entire rouge Clones with real food."
"They are currently feeding of leftover rations. But they are getting dangerously out of our reserves." Rex says.
"Well rations are cheaper to afford, but feeding what I assume to be over five thousand Clones, is probably outside of my credit account." Organa says.
"We understand. It will be tough, but we will find a way to maintain our resources. I mean, we can't attack any more Imperial stations since last time we caused enough damage to leave a trace of who did it. They've most likely increased security on other worlds too." Fives explains.
"You attacked an Imperial station?" Orskee asked the ARC Trooper.
"Yeah, we were in deep need for fuel, so we took some fuel cells from one of the empty bays with the least guards. We still caused a lot of damage and left many Shock Troopers dead." Fives replies to the Wicket Company Commander
"I see." Orskee replies.
The group soon entered the dinning hall where a woman who appeared to be a waiter of sorts stood right at the table. She was a human who had a brown tear drop tattoo right beneath her right eye. Tup was the first to see this, while Fives caught on to it second.
Fives quickly hurried next to Tup and whispered in to his ear. "Hey Tup! She has the same tattoo you have! And both of them are under your right eyes!"
"I see that Fives. I saw it when I had first seen her." Tup replies.
"Greetings friends of Mr. Organa, I am Lupa, your waiter. What would you like?" She asks.
"Everyone, this my best waiter in the entire palace. She'll follow your every needs. She has never failed in her job once. Treat her right." Bail says.
Everyone replied to Bail with "Understood" "Yes Senator" and "Of course". The table was filled with twenty chairs. There was thirteen of them.
The two 212th Soldiers, Davajaan and Wooley sat by themselves at one of the ends of the table. On one of the middle sides, Numa, Boil, Obi-Wan, Takaata and Orskee were seated. On the other side, Kix, Tup, Fives, Ahsoka, Rex and Jessie were seated. On the other end, Bail just stays seated watch everyone in deep thought.
The few minutes of waiting didn't seem to bother the waiter Lupa. She seemed patient and calm all the time. There were menus on the table neatly stacked minutes ago
"Oh nerra, nerra!" Numa exclaimed.
Boil looks over to the little seven year old wondering what she was excited about. She was clearly smart enough to tell what a menu was, judging by the pictures of food on them.
"Well, what's got you so interested?" Boil asks looking over to the menu in in Numa's hands.
She was looking in the meat section and she looked most interested in the Gornt meat.
"Ah, Gornt meat. If that is really what you wish for little one." Boil says.
"Nerra." Numa replies happily.
Obi-Wan looks to Boil who seemed to be doing well with parenting. Maybe Boil should consider having children one day.
Once everyone's orders were filed out, everyone had to wait for fifteen before they had received what they wanted. Ahsoka had taken multiple different meats, Kix, Rex and Obi-Wan had taken it easy and decided to just eat salads. It was because they believed eating meaty foods would make them fatter and that's what they didn't want. Ahsoka didn't believe it. You'd have to eat a lot of it everyday and this was only an occasional thing. Everyone else had decided to eat meat.
Takaata and Orskee had taken a large order and didn't appear to have any issues eating it all. Obi-Wan just stares blankly at this Jedi Master next to him. He was definitely an odd one at best. Takaata feels the Jedi Master peeping at him and looked back.
"C'mon Kenobi, don't just eat that, you need something to get more meat on your bones!" Takaata says grabbing a drumstick of sorts from his plate with his left hand and waved it in front of his face.
Obi-Wan just directs his hand to the drumstick waving it away. Takaata just smiles and brings it back to the General's face.
"Come on Kenobi, you need your strength for when you need to battle." Takaata says.
"Sorry, but I am not interested. If I am was to eat such foods, I'd probably gain a few pounds and..." It was at this point that Takaata had lost interest in Obi-Wan's talking. Why not give it a try instead of judging it? That's exactly what Takaata would make happen. "...is why-".
Obi-Wan couldn't speak. Takaata have shoved the meaty leg into the Jedi's mouth when he was busy trying to speak. Obi-Wan's eyes were now wide. Takaata had once again gained his smile. Orskee had caught what Takaata did with his eyes and laughed. Ahsoka and everyone else just looked at Obi-Wan and Takaata with shocked expression. OK, they really weren't that shocked, but it was a funny sight.
Obi-Wan then takes out the drumstick which had some meat gone off it. Everyone had thought he was gonna complain to Takaata about doing that. But that wasn't the case.
"Yes, well this reminds me of a time when Qui-Gon made me try something new. Except it wasn't meat, it was something much smaller and disgusting." Obi-Wan says.
Everyone looks at Obi-Wan with disgusted looks on their faces. Well almost everyone except Takaata and Orskee.
Everyone on Ahsoka's side of the table just continues eating, but the rest of the table did soon afterwards.
Fives looks at Tup and sees him staring at Lupa who was currently getting a list of drinks sorted. They would only be able to get water since the palace had been removed of any other non-healthy drinks such as alcohol.
After a bit, everyone besides Ahsoka and Bail began to make conversation with each other. Ahsoka then stands and walked behind past Fives and Tup. There was on one else on that side but on the end the Senator was seated looking at the two Jedi Masters. He seemed to be hiding a small smile on his face by having his hand rested on his mouth like as if he had a beard. Well he did, but it wasn't that much shown.
Ahsoka stumbles right near Bail's left shoulder and he took notice of it. He looked up at her. She looked like she had something on her mind. Organa looked at the Jedi Knight and quickly stood up.
"Please come with me, Ahsoka." Organa says.
"Alright Senator." Ahsoka replies.
Ahsoka follows Senator Organa to a room which was round shaped. It had a door on the left from where they entered from and there was a window stretching from the left of that door to the right of the door Ahsoka and Bail walked in. There is a rectangle short table in the middle with four chairs, one on each side. Bail sits down and waved his hand at another one for Ahsoka to sit in.
"I guess we are gonna get down to business?" Ahsoka asks.
"Of course." Bail says. "At the Senate meeting back on Coruscant, when the Chancellor declared the end of the Galactic Republic and started the Galactic Empire, Senator Amidala and me decided to start something called the Rebellion. The Galactic Empire has officially lost it's way on how to run a proper and far system. That is where you and your Troops come in."
"What do you mean, Senator?" Ahsoka asks.
"You and your Soldiers are very strong and you have a lot of them. I am suggesting that when I discover some useful intelligence on Imperials or maybe some pirates, you and your Soldiers will go to that location and do what you can there." Bail explains.
"I see Senator. So what would we benefit from doing that is new technology, credits and probably something else useful." Ahsoka says.
"Ahsoka , do you agree to this plan? I know it sounds not as the old Republican way, but-" Before Bail could complete his sentence Ahsoka speaks.
"No Senator, I understand. Since my men have abandoned the Empire, they must already know, and I am pretty sure they know at least one Jedi is leading them. To survive we must do what we can, even if we have to tangle with pirates to do it." Ahsoka says.
"I appreciate your understanding of this. Thank you. So you do agree to this arrangement then?" Bail asks.
"It is the best we can do. Yes, I agree." Ahsoka says.
Bail raises his hand to the Jedi Knight, Ahsoka knew he was expecting a hand shake so she brought her hand to his. The shake opened up an new beginning between the Jedi, the rouge Clones and the Senator Organa.
"Thank you Ahsoka. This alliance between us will benefit in the near future." Bail says.
"I know Senator, and I just remembered something. I require some large strong mining tools on Yavin IV. We are making a base and this base will probably be the biggest the Republic would have ever had." Ahsoka says.
"I have plenty mining equipment on Alderaan. I'll send you some machinery and foreman Droids to work under your command." Bail says.
"Thank you. I already have a group of four hundred there already keeping the place secure and making sure we don't loose sight of that location." Ahsoka says.
"That is wise. You don't need any mess ups in you plans. Now come." Bail says standing. "We are done here. Let's see what the others are doing."
In the dinning hall, Bail and Ahsoka saw everyone talking and then stop as they focused their attention on the Jedi and Senator. Bail's face then looked shocked for a second.
"Oh, I just forget. I need to tend to somethings for now. Speak to Lupa about your quarters for tonight. I'll see you all later." Bail says walking back through the door he and Ahsoka walked in just before.
"Well Ahsoka, what did you and Bail discus?" Obi-Wan asked.
"He wishes for me and mine men to work with him in his new Alliance. I agreed to it and we'll be doing certain work depending on what intelligence he gathers." Ahsoka explains.
"It is for the best." Obi-Wan says.
"Maybe..." Ahsoka says. "At least tonight we get to stay in the palace."
"Yes, and that gives us better places to sleep." Takaata says.
"I've never had a proper bed before. I guess it will feel great sleeping on something not hard for once." Orskee says.
"A high class bed is great, Orskee! But I don't think we can eat in them..." Takaata says looking at his plate filled with the bones of his meat.
"Well, we've got nothing else to do here. How about we explore the small city a bit?" Fives suggests.
Takaata stretches and replies to Fives. "Don't see why not. We probably will be here for a while anyway."
"Agreed." Obi-Wan says.
"C'mon Orskee. Let's go." Takaata says to his Commander. Then he turns to Obi-Wan. "You want to come with us Kenobi?"
"I don't see anything else to do here. Sure." Obi-Wan replies standing to go with Takaata.
"Me and Numa will go with you, Kenobi." Bail says with a smile.
As, the two Jedi and Clones left, Davajaan and Wooley decided to follow them.
Ahsoka and her 501st men were left with themselves. Lupa was also there.
"So Commander, what do we do?" Rex asks.
"Let's just see our quarters. It is best to get them sorted before we do anything else." Ahsoka replies.
"Good idea Commander." Rex says.
"Lupe, if you don't mind. Can you please get our quarters set up?" Ahsoka asks.
Lupa smiles happily to the seventeen year old because of her manners. "Of course. Follow me."
As everyone follows the waiter, Rex had thoughts on his mind he'd need to ask his Commander about later. But he could ask one at least.
"So, our new lives start here, Commander?" Rex asks.
"So much has changed Rex. We sometimes start in the most strangest of ways. I just hope nothing bad happens." Ahsoka replies.
"Trouble is always around the corner, Commander." Rex says.
"I wish that wasn't the case, but it is." Ahsoka says.
The group followed that waiter down a hall which was fairly warm to walk down. There were many doors down this hall. It appeared to be where they would be located.
"And here are your rooms. Choose any all of you wish for. The Senator is most gracious to generously let you choose any you wish." Lupa says walking away.
"Thank you, Lupa." Ahsoka says.
"No problem." She says happily, with the eyes of a Jedi and the eyes of five Torrent Company members on her back.
