Chapter 12

"Well congratulations," Jedi said as he and Sami strode quickly past Jason, "You've 'officially'" he made air quotes around officially. It's rather hard to make anything official when it's just a ragtag group of scum, for lack of a better word, "part of the Rebel Alliance."

"So what does that mean," Jason replied as he jumped up from his seat to follow Jedi. Jedi shrugged, "You just signed your own death sentence."

"Encouraging."

"It always is, but it wouldn't be as fun if it wasn't," Jedi grinned under his helmet. Jason shrugged, he was really starting to like this guy, "So does that mean you get a squad?"

"Well I wouldn't entirely say that but, yeah we're a squad and I outrank you so I guess that makes me the leader."

"Cool," Jason replied, "So we got a name, you know something that'll make the Imps piss themselves when they hear it?"

"Yeah I was wondering the same thing," Sami added. Jedi stopped for a moment. He had never really thought about it, then again he never had thought he'd make it this far, fate always seemed to conspire against him until the last possible moment when by some minor miracle he was able to fix everything and save the day. Jedi stated, "Never crossed my mind.

"Team Jedi, Mando squad, the imp killers?" Jason began to rattle of a list of possible names, "Team Jason, I personally like that one."

"I don't, and I don't like Team Jedi either."

"Jedi Team, although we aren't Jedi Knights…"

"Err…" Jedi was about to interrupt, but then held back. They didn't really need to know they were running around with a clone commando with Force powers, at least not yet. For some reason he still had never gotten used to trusting anyone with knowing that since the Empire, "Sorry go on."

"Well I'm just rattling off names, someone help me out here. Umm… oh we could be Mando'ade idiots!"

"I actually like that one," Jedi chuckled, "but no."

"Yeah If I ever write a story about us I'd call it that. I'm actually keeping that one." Jason shrugged, "I'm out of ideas."

"How about Prudii Squad," Sami added in, "You know it has Mando'a, and it translate just as shadow squad and we're black ops, so striking from it."

"I like it but I'd go with whatever mesh'la says." Jason grinned cheekily. Jedi just nodded and continued his stride as if nothing had ever happened, "Prudii Squad it is then, kandosii."

"So where are we going?" Jason finally asked. Jedi replied, "Our first mission."

"Will there be big boom?"

"If you learn to talk to talk in sentences maybe," Jedi smirked as he opened the door to what acted as a briefing room in the Rebel hideout. Inside there was a Mon Calamari in what sufficed as an officer's uniform with his back turned to the trio.

"Glad to see you decided to show up," the Mon Calamari said as he turned towards them, "Commando and Meshla, nice work with that Coruscant fiasco, you got someone out alive."

"Thank you sir," they replied in unison. Jason rolled his eyes, "No thanks for me?"

"For saving what was left of our cell, no, for joining our little party, yes. Welcome to the Alliance Dosii."

"Finally someone appreciates me."

"Good that means we can get down to business." The squid like alien said as he took out a holocomm. from his pocket.

"Way to meet a high standard."

"In case you haven't noticed, this outer rim garbage can is just a safe haven from the Empire, we can't exactly afford this."

"Whatever let's just get this over with."

"Good," the officer stated as he pressed a button and a blue image appeared in his fish-like hand. It was of a man, a human, with a long and unkempt beard.

"So I see we're talking out the most attractive person in the galaxy," this was Jedi's turn for sarcasm now. The Mon Calamari nodded, "Grigo Raz, a Force sensitive, one of the Emperor's dark assassin's with an over inflated opinion of himself."

"This should be easy then."

"Just because he fancies himself the next dark lord of the Sith doesn't mean he isn't dangerous. He is still very powerful, there's a reason he gets some of the Emperor's dirty work. We need to stop him from killing anyone else. Understood?"

"Yes sir."

"Then dismissed." The trio began to walk out before the Mon Calamari interrupted, "Commando."

"Yes sir," Jedi turned around to answer. "No Jedi heroics."

"Do you mean me or the group?"

"Both, last thing we need the Empire doing is tearing up the galaxy looking for an Order 66 survivor, even if it is just a clone with a DNA mutation." Jedi chuckled as he walked out followed by a rather shocked Sami and Jason, "No promises."

There was a rather awkward silence as the left the "briefing room". After a minute or two Jedi turned around and inquired, "Can I help you with anything?"

"You're one of them," Sami almost stuttered, "jettise? That explains why Sev and Tawny are always so pissed…"

"What you never picked up on Jedi Commando being self-descriptive?"

"I always thought it has something to do with you act like one, saving everyone, literally everyone."

"No…I do that?" Jedi was obviously shocked to hear that. He knew he tried to be the good guy and do what's right, he just didn't understand how well everyone else thought he handled the situations. He actually thought he left himself a lot of room for improvement. "You…" Sami cut her sentence off when she realized that Jedi was serious, "That's something else, and right now I'm shocked you just never told us about being a Jedi."

"How is that even possible…" Jason added in, "You're a clone of Jango Fett, probably the most un-Jedi person in the galaxy, how are you a Jedi?"

"It's call mutations, it's biology, learn it."

"Well aren't clones all the same?"

"No, we're still humans, and there are millions of us, it's not shocking we have an odd mutation here or there. Now if you can, please drop that subject of cloning and get back to how the hell are you Force sensitive part?"

"Alright then so I'd think a Mandalorian Jedi of all people would be proud to carry that lightsaber right now."

"It's what the officer said, the last thing we need is the Empire tearing up the galaxy, they'd flip out even if it was a dead guy. That all?"

"Yeah I guess," Jason finished. Sami just stood there rather shocked, "I'm just surprised to hear this now, that's all."

"Don't worry, I don't think it's that big a deal, and I'm sure it won't interfere with our mission at all."

"You really believe that?"

"Nope, but that makes it all the more exciting."

Notes

So this was just a bridge chapter to bring everything (finally) together. Anyway I was reading what I had before and noticed Jedi made no mention of him being Force Sensitive (closest he comes is saying Jedi Commando is a self-descriptive name) earlier and so I decided to have some fun at Sami and Jason's expense. Also I believe Jedi's explanation for how he got Force powers works out in real world biology (of course it's star wars so I don't have to worry too much) but if there are any readers with a knowledge of genetics/biology feel free to correct me on that.

Kandosii-Mando'a for awesome

Mando'ade- Mando'a for Mandalorian

Mesh'la-mando'a for beautiful (and oddly enough is the same in huttese)

Jettise-Mando'a for Jedi

Coming up… Prudii Squad takes on a Star Wars OC version of the guy with the worst beard in history…
