The Coming Storm

Kashyyyk

Across the galaxy, on the jungle planet Kashyyyk the native Wookies are preparing for war as the Separatists begin to mount up their forces to destroy every single one of these walking carpets. However, with the help of Master Yoda, and his army of clones, the wookies now have a chance to protect their home from the machines that have come to take it.

While the wookies are reading their wooden ships that will attack the droids from above, the clones are preparing to fight alongside these cunning warriors who were ready to die. Dressed in their green camouflage armor, the clones ready there weapons and mount their heavy guns onto their vehicles. These clones new that this battle could be their last. With a large army of droids readying themselves for the attack, the wookies and clones are facing a large threat.

Overseeing the preparation for the assault, Master Yoda looks down onto the white sandy beach while his two Wookie companions, Tarful and Chewbacca, walked beside him. As the Jedi Master looked across the sea that was surrounding multiple islands, a clone commander in green armor soon walks over to the Jedi before he kneels beside him. "General, the droids are starting up their main power generators."

"Then now, the time is, Commander." Master Yoda said to the Clone Commander while the Jedi held tight onto his wooden cane.

"Yes Sir." The Clone responded before he soon activated his comlink to contact his troops that were on the beach with the Wookies. "Captain, ready the men. The droids are advancing to the beach."

On the white sandy beach, the Wookies scream and howl at the top of their lunges as they watch one of their own stand before them all and raise his sharp staff before charging toward the shore where they watched the droids moving closer to them. With their wooden spears, shields, and blasters, the Wookies showed no fear as they stormed down the beach to destroy every droid in sight.

As the droids approached the beach on ton top of their tanks, they began to open fire on the Wookies and Clones on the beach. But as they quickly began to reach the beach, the droids were unaware that there were hundreds of clones attacking them from above, inside the large trees that overlooked the beach where the machines were approaching.

With shots being fried across the beach, from the trees, and above the sky, the battle begins to unfold in front of the eyes of Master Yoda as he watches several droids get blown to smithereens, but also watches several Clones and Wookies die on the beach.

But the battle only beginning, the skies soon become a battlefield where several droid gunships begin to open fire on several Wookie fighters that are flying across the battlefield. But with no bombs to drop from their wooden fighter, the Wookies have an alternative idea on how to take care of the tanks.

While more tanks approach the beach, a few wookie fighter fly directy above the moving tanks before the droids surely hear the screaming sound of Wookie warriors swing above them. Once the wookies landed onto the moving tank, the strong beasts knock down every droid on top while also tearing their metallic bodies in half with their bare hands. Once the droids were taken care of, the wookies attach a couple of bombs onto the tank before quickly jumping into the water before the tank explodes in a ball of fire.

As the battle continued, Master Yoda watches the battle unfold on the shore where the Clones and Wookies are holding their position better than expected. With not even one droid making it's way onto the beach, the Clones and Wookies are holding their ground, destroying every machine before it could reach the beach.

But the skies however, were a different battlefield entirely. Although the Republic is holding their ground on the beach, the skies are being torn apart as several droid and wookie fighters are being destroyed causing loud thunderous explosions above the beach. While Yoda watched the battle, a droid gunship takes one shot at the tower, Yoda and his closest allies were in.

After the gusnship made it's first shop, it isn't long until the gunship is destroyed by a Wookie fighter. As Yoda recovers from the shot that was fired close to him, he watches the gunship crash onto the shore before he watches more dorids advance to the beach. He knew that this fight was going o be longer than expected. But as he contintued to watch the battle occurring right in front of him, he began to sense a disturbance in the force. Although the Separatists were on the run, he knew the war was drawing to a close, but he could still sense that the Dark Side was growing stronger then before. But how could it be?

After the death of Count Dooku, Yoda could sense that the Dark Side growing strong. He feared that once this war was over, a new threat would rise to finish what the Sith had started. He feared that a new threat would put the galaxy in danger.

Zanbar

While the Jedi were being stretched across the galaxy, trying to prevent the Separatists from spreading to new worlds, there were other threats that were hiding in the shadows. As the Separatists continued to move their droids across the stars, the Order of Assassins were laying wait on the planet Zanbar, where they waited their next order to strike a cripple blow to the Republic.

As the moon sat at the center of the night sky, the castle that was home to hundreds of assassin, was lit up like a beacon. With hundreds of assassins inside the castle, training and preparing for a fight against the Republic. While some were inside the castle, others walked outside the gates and across the walls where several guards were on the look out for spies that could find vital information that would lead to their destruction.

While the Assassins were training behind their walls, the guards were not aware that a small probe droid was hiding in the forest that sat across a small valley that separated the forest from the castle

Hiding behind several trees, the droid uses it's one eye to zoom in on the castle as it began to document everything it saw from it's hiding spot. While the probe droid examines the castle, it begins to see that there are several guards protecting the walls and front gates, while also standing by three anti-air guns that could easily blow a fighter to bits. The probe also begins to look at the courtyards where it sees several dozen assassins training. But with those assassins trainging, there's no telling how many other assassins are actually inside the castle, or if Desric is inside at all.

While the guards on the walls walked by each other, carrying their snipers, one of them does a quick scan of the valley, only to spot a strange object at the edge of the forest. Instead of shooting it on sight, the assassin guard walks across the wall before he goes inside the castle.

As the Assassin walks inside the castle, he begins to walk up a stone spiral staircase before he reaches the top and opens the door and enters Desric's private quarters. As he walks into the room, he sees the Grandmaster of assassins stare at the moon and stares from a large window. Without even taking two steps, Desric senses that something urgent has surfaced. "What is the reason of why you have you have left your post, assassin?"

As the assassin stairs at the Grandmaster's back, he swallows any fear he had before informing his Grandmaster. "We've spotted a probe droid at the edge of the forest across the valley. Should we destroy it?"

Desric closes his eyes before responding. "It is them, I now it is."

"I beg your pardon Master?" The guard asked.

Desric turns toward his assassin to give his orders. "Do not fire the probe droid, until I give you the order. We will let these people believe that they got upper hand."

Not arguing with his master, the guard obeys his master. "Yes Master. Consider it done."

As he watched the guard leave the room, Desric could sense that Grace was up to something. After he defeated Aaron and left him for dead, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Aaron's friends would launch an assault on his castle. As he began to prepare for the future, knowing that an imminent attack was approaching, Desric looks at his hand and sees that it is shaking.

No…not now… he thought to himself as he saw his hand shaking before he blinked twice and saw his vision was becoming blurring. As Desric tried to regain his vision and take control of his hand, he shakes his hand and clentches a fist before slamming a nearby desk. He takes in a few deep breaths before he presses a small red button on his desk and watches a wall slide open revealing a small lab where a med droid was standing by.

The droid activates before looking at Desric. "How can I be of assistance Grandmaster?"

"Prep the syrum and syringes, I need another injetion." Desric said as he began to remove his clothes and armor.

"Yes Grandmaster." The dorid responded as it went to a nearby table to prep Desric for another syrum injection.

Ondeorn

Across the vast ocean of deep space, the rebels of Onderon are preparing themselves for the attack that would take place on Zanbar. While Grace and Ventress are preparing their troops for battle, Ahsoka and her friends are inside their tent where they are watching live footage of a probe droid giving off video of a castle of assassins that are based on Zanbar.

As they watch the live video being played right in front of them, Ahsoka looks at how the assassins were stationed inside this castle. She watches how some of them were standing guard at the front gates while others were walking across the walls with their snipers ready. The probe droid sees one assassin stand on top of the wall before pulling out his sniper to scope out the valley and forest that sat across the castle. Ahsoka watches the assassin do nothing but continue his patrol before slowly walking inside the castle.

While Ahsoka watches the footage, her friends, Lux and General Tandin are beside her as they watch the probe droids footage. At the same time, Lux was documenting everything the droid was picking up so that he could inform his friends and allies of what to expect when they launch their attack on Zanbar. Tandin also took this moment to examine these new assassins. After he heard of what happened at the invasion of Corucant, he knew that these assassin were strong and skillful enough to outmatch the arm of the Republic. But while Lux and Tandin were looking at the castle and assassins, Ahsoka was looking for two people in particular.

With the droid feeding the rebels valuable information to help them commence their attack, Ahsoka was looking for Barriss and Desric. She wanted to make sure that those two were at this castle and would still be there when the attack began. She knew that Barriss would be there since she chose to abandon her friends and side with an insane psycopath who's very existence was a reminder of the horror she and Aaron faced. She still couldn't believe that Barriss was the one who framed her and was also responsible for setting her friends up for an ambush that killed Aaron. When she and her friends would surely arrive on Zanbar, Barriss is one of the first people Ahsoka wants to face when they storm the castle.

As she looked at the castle, she began to search for Desric as well. After Grace contacted the Jedi, Ahsoka learned that the republic will only send a ship to Zanbar, if she and her friends can confirm that Desric was inside the castle. Also, Ahsoka wanted to make sure that Desric was here so that she could avenge Aaron's death. Despite what Barriss did, Desric was the number one person Ahsoka wanted to come face to face to when the rebels would launch their attack on his castle.

While she looks at the castle, Lux finishes writing down all the things the droid was able to pick up. "Alright, based on the footage the droid was able to send us, we can assume these assassins are heavily fortified inside their castle."

"Not only that, but they are also well armed." Tandin added. "Did any of you notice the weapons they were carrying? Most of the guns they had were high-powered weapons that are sold at the black market. Which means these assassins are more than capable of tearing our forces apart before we even reach the front gate."

"Well once we find a way to mount our heavy artillery onto the pods we're going to landing in, we can use them to launch an assault from the safety of the forest while it provides us some cover fire while we storm the front gate." Ahsoka said.

"We're taking a pretty big gamble by launching an attack on this castle." Tandin said. "Even if we attack this castle, we're still not sure if Desric is at this castle."

"He's there. I'm quiet sure he's there." Ahsoka said with confidence. "Once we land on Zandbar we'll be able to get a chance to confirm that Desric is on that planet. And once we do, we'll contact the Republic and we'll have some back up that'll help us rid the galaxy of Desric once and for all."

After Lux and Tandin heard Ahsoka's determination on making sure this attack would be a success, the two men look at her before they nod. Lux speaks first. "Very well then Ahsoka. If you are certain about this we will be right beside you on Zanbar."

"Thank you Lux." Ahsoka said before looking at Tandin. "Generalmake sure the men are ready. We only have two days to prepare for this before we reach Zanbar. The meteor shower that approaches Zanbar will be sooner than we think. We need to reach the planet before the shower starts."

"Yes Ahsoka." General Tandin said before he walked outside his tent to oversee that his troops were ready before they would all be deployed to Zanbar.

After Tandin left, Lux looks at Ahsoka who has a face of sheer determination and vengance. "Are you okay Ahsoka?"

"I'm fine." Ahsoka said. "We need to get ready. We're running out of time, and we have to be well prepared for when we arrive on Zanbar. There's no telling what we'll find and we'll be fighting against the man who tore our lives apart."

Before Lux could say another word, Ahsoka leaves the tent to join her friends. With lux standing alone in the tent, he begins to wonder if his friends have gone too far. Both Ahsoka and Grace have allowed Desric to get the upper hand of them. Ever since the funeral, Lux has watched the two women he's cared about be consumed by vengeance. Hopefully with Desric's demise, the two of them will find piece.
