Aboard a Republic ship

Admiral Yularen was looking out in the bridge windows. Only a few hours more and they would finally reach Onderon. He was approached by 4 Jedi Knights : Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, Kit Fisto and Luminara Unduli.

"Greetings, generals. We have only a few hours to go until we reach Onderon." Yularen said as he pointed at the navicomputer.

"I sure hope we get there in time..." Anakin said grimly.

"And I thought you had faith in your former Padawan, Master Skywalker." Luminara interjected.

"Hey ! I do have faith in Ahsoka ! But to stop an invasion of thousands ?! No, she can't do it. Not alone." Anakin replied as he whipped around to face Luminara.

"Ahsoka is a tough cookie to crack, Master Unduli. My heart tells me she will survive this along with that Bonteri fellow." Kit added with a smile.

"Let's prep the gunships and bombers while we still have time." Obi-Wan suggested as he tried to distract Anakin from his grim mood.

They made their way to the hangar where many clones were waiting.

"So, wanna repeat that plan of yours again, Obi-Wan ?" Anakin asked as he smirked.

"It's quite simple, Anakin. Master Fisto and Master Unduli will land to the battle grounds to aid Ahsoka and the Onderonians. You, along with Oddball and Warthog will proceed to bomb any remaining opposition once Ahsoka and the others are out of harm's way. It's easy enough, no ?" Obi-Wan explained as he crossed his arms.

"I like it. Simple but effective." Anakin replied as he smiled.

"This will be the very first time we defend Onderon since the last time we were involved was to merely train the rebels to fight for themselves. And it's also a first for us as we are not fighting against Separatist droids, but creatures of Arda known as orcs. Going back on info provided by Master Ti, these orcs are a lot tougher than droids and can quickly overwhelm us if we aren't careful. I would prefer if we could keep our casualty count as low as possible. Be on your guard, everyone. May the Force be with you." Obi-wan finished as he went back to the bridge.
