Here we go, guys, the Jedi Crash and Defenders of peace episodes have begun. Sly, Qymaen, and Shaak Ti will be the character switches this time, but Rex will still be in the chapter. Other than that, not much else to say. Anyway, back to the story, guys.
The Republic fleet is in the defensive pushed to the brink as battles escalate in the Outer Rim worlds. Chaos and fear mount as the Separatists launch attacks on heavily outnumbered republic ships. In the midst of a fight for her life, Shaak Ti waits for Sly, Qymaen and Rex to save her.
On Shaak Ti's ship
"Our shields are gone, General!" An officer said.
"Where are Qymaen and Sly? I'm depending on them." Shaak Ti said. "It's a shame that Neyla is is on a mission with Ahsoka. I could really use her Force Barrier right now."
With Sly and Qymaen
The 2 allies were almost to Shaak Ti's location. "Admiral, prepare the gunships." Sly ordered.
"Yes, General."
"Cooper, if we can't get back to the cruiser, we use the other ship to escape. Understand, Admiral?" Qymaen asked.
"Perfectly, General." The Admiral answered.
"Me too, Qymaen." Sly said.
With the enemy
"We have them now. Send the super droids." A tactical droid ordered.
"Roger Roger." A Droid said.
Super battle droids were flying to the Republic fleet on jetpacks. Once they got to the cruiser, they entered the ship through a hole.
With Sly, Qymaen and Rex
They had entered the gunships and once they were ready, the gunships flew to the cruiser while avoiding the rockets from the super battle droids still on the cruiser. One of them tried to get on the pilot cockpit but Qymaen stopped it with the Force. "Qymaen, fallow me." Sly said as he jumped on one of the super battle droids and made it fly to the cruiser.
"Got it, Cooper. Rex, once you're in the cruiser, come find us." Qymaen said as he followed Sly. They flew to the hole, jumped in and started to destroy the droids. When the cruiser got to the hole, Rex and a few clones jumped in and followed Sly and Qymaen.
On the Separatist ship
"This is taking too long. Destroy that cruiser." The tactical droid ordered.
"But some of our droids are still inside." A Droid said.
"I don't care!"
"Roger Roger." The Droid said as the guns on the ship aimed at the cruiser and fired.
With Sly, Qymaen and Rex
They were destroying any droid that got in their way. Sly hade used the Force to push a super battle droid in the others, clearing a path to Shaak Ti and her forces. "Nice entrance, brother. How do we get out of here?" Shaak Ti asked.
"I have a ship docking to this one as we speak, Shaak Ti." Sly answered.
The other ship got into the cruiser and docked with it. The Jedi and clones ran to the docking bay and opened the door. Qymaen saw the fire was approaching them and Force pushed his allies into the ship. He then tried to use the Force to hold back the fire but it bursted through, sending Qymaen back and injuring him.
"Don't move the ship." Shaak Ti ordered as she cut through the door with her lightsaber and saw Qymaen. She quickly grabbed his hands and pulled him in with Sly. The ship then released from the docking bay and flew off.
"General Cooper, you'll never be able to get to the cruiser in the middle of this battle." The Admiral said.
"I know, Admiral. That's why we're going to jump to hyperspace. I've activated a tracking beacon so that you'll be able to find us when the battle is finished." Sly said.
"Understood, General Cooper. We will come for you as soon as the battle here is finished, I promise." The Admiral said.
"Good luck, Admiral. May the Force be with you." Sly said.
"And you, General Cooper." The Admiral said as he saw the ship go into hyperspace. But not before a rocket hit it, damaging the hyperdrive.
"General, I've programed the navigation computer to take us to the nearest planet. It's past a star but we're moving around it. I'm about to take us out of hyperspace." Rex said as he exited hyperspace and headed to the planet. Once they successfully landed, Sly and Rex went to the medical room.
"General, how's General Qymaen?" Rex asked.
"He's okay for now but he'll need more medical attention then what we have in the ship. The hyperdrive was damaged and we've lost most of our fuel so we won't be able to get off the planet without the cruiser." Shaak Ti said as she stood beside Qymaen.
"In the meantime, we should see if we can find anyone who can help us. If there are natives on this planet then they could have a way to help Qymaen." Sly said.
"Indeed. I'll stay here with Qymaen. The other clones can stay and help guard the ship while you and Rex scout ahead." Shaak Ti said.
"Agreed, but you should bring Qymaen outside, he could use the air." Sly said as he exited the ship with Rex.
They looked around and Rex picked up something. "General Cooper, look." Rex said showing Sly the stone.
"Looks like there are natives here. I can sense that they are south of here. Let's go, Rex. Qymaen doesn't have much time." Sly said as they headed south.
While walking, Rex brought up something. "General, that was a very brave thing that General Qymaen did to save us."
"Indeed, Rex. It seems we've changed him for the better since we saved him from the Sith." Sly said.
"Yeah. He's been a great ally to us, and I like to think that he sees us as his friends." Rex said.
With Shaak Ti and Qymaen
Shaak Ti had gotten a makeshift tent set up for Qymaen and had put him in it so he could get some air. She was looking at him when a clone addressed her. "General, something's coming."
"Be prepared for anything." Shaak Ti said as she activated her lightsaber.
Suddenly a creature with a bird head came out of the grass and tried to attack them but he Shaak Ti Force-pushed it back and it quickly ran away.
With Sly and Rex
Night had fallen and they were still going south when they saw a big tree. They stopped and saw that pods fell out of the tree and when they stopped, Sly saw a trail of them. "Looks like the natives of this planet have dragged the pods away."
"Which means they should be nearby." Rex said as they followed the trail of pods until they came to an open field. Suddenly, 3 of the the creatures came out of the grass and tried to attack them but Rex quickly shot one of them and the other 2 ran away. They continued to follow the pods as daylight came again until they followed a road trail to a village.
They walked to the village and one of the natives who was most likely the elder walked up to them. "Why do you come here?"
"We're jedi. Our ship was damaged so we had to land on this planet. One of our friends is very injured." Sly said.
"Violence breeds violence. Jedi are not peacekeepers." The elder said.
"We're fighting for the freedom of the Galaxy." Sly said.
"And fighting for freedom requires fear and death? We colonized this system to find peace from your wretched war. You must leave. You will only destroy whatever peace is left in the Galaxy." The elder said.
"One of our friends is dying, elder. Can't we at least get medical supplies?" Sly asked.
"I cannot refuse a plea for help. My son, Wag Too will go with you. He's a healer. But you must stay as insurance in case of an attack. The Clone and his blaster cannot stay." The elder known as Tee Watt Kaa told Sly.
"Don't worry, General. I'll be back in no time." Rex said as he left with Wag Too.
Tee Watt showed Sly into a pod and prepared a drink for him. "Here. It will restore your energy."
"Thank you. I want you to know that myself and other Jedi didn't want to take part in this war. It's hypocrisy for peacekeepers to fight in war, even I know that." Sly said.
"Then why do you and the other Jedi do it? Fighting for freedom doesn't mean you have to destroy everything in your path. Only when you lay down your weapons and pursue a path of nonviolence, will I believe that the Jedi are peacekeepers." Tee Watt Kaa said.
Meanwhile with Shaak Ti and Qymaen
"Shaak Ti, those creatures are coming." Qymaen said.
"I know. I sense them, too." Shaak Ti said as she saw the 2 creatures from earlier come back out of the grass. Shaak Ti held them up with the Force and pushed them as far away as she could as Rex and Wag Too came to them.
"General Qymaen, this is Wag Too, he's a healer from a village nearby. He can heal your injuries." Rex said.
"Don't you worry. I'll fix you up in no time." Wag Too said. They got a stretcher for Qymaen and took him to the village. Once Qymaen was in the healer pod, Wag Too started to heal Qymaen. "The oil from the pod will aid in the healing process." He said as he put oil on Qymaen while his father was watching him.
"I had the rest of the clones abandon the ship and come to the village, brother. Just until we're found." Shaak Ti said.
"That's great news, Shaak Ti. I have the tracking beacon so it won't take the Admiral long to find us." Sly said.
The next day
One of the clones was sitting down as he heard something. He got out his binoculars and saw that a Droid ship was making its way to the village. Captain Rex, we've got company."
"Republic ship?"
"No, sir. A Droid ship."
"Get back here." Rex said as he headed to the healing pod. "Generals, a Droid ship is coming."
"But this is neutral space." Wag Too said.
"It won't be for long if the Separatists have their way." Qymaen said.
"What menace have you brought to our Village, Jedi." Tee Watt asked.
"Father, you can't blame them." Wag Too said.
"He's right. The Separatists don't even know we're here." Shaak Ti said.
"Your presence here endangeres us, you must leave now." Tee Watt said.
"But you can't fight them without us." Qymaen said.
"We will not fight them at all. We would rather die than kill others." Tee Watt said.
"That ship is full of droids, old man. They're not living beings, they're wires and metal. You can't just surrender." Qymaen said.
"Qymaen, if the Lurmen want to remain neural, we won't force them into war." Shaak Ti said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"See to it that they leave. I will go see what our other visitors want." Tee Watt said as he went to greet the visitors. He walked to the ship as a chubby neimoidian walked out of the ship with droids.
"I am General Lok Durd of the Separatist Alliance. You are under our protection now. I congratulate you on your good fortune." Lok Durd said as he walked to the village with his droids.
"Thank you. But we enjoyed good fortune well before your arrival. We are a peaceful people, General. I do not condone your presence here." Tee Watt said.
"Silence. I would like to inspect my new colony. Ransack this village." Durd ordered his droids, who did as ordered, tearing apart the village homes and shooting.
"Why are they doing this? We've done nothing to them." Wag Too asked.
"It doesn't matter. Those Droids are programed for violence." Shaak Ti said as she quickly headed to to the tall grass with her friends.
"There is no evidence of any weapons or Republic contraband, General." A Droid told Durd.
"In the future we will conduct more searches like this one in order to maintain security." Durd told Tee Watt.
"We will offer no resistance." Tee Watt said.
"You're smarter than you appear." Durd said as he and his Droids began to leave.
"Father, are you ok?" Wag Too asked walking up to him.
"Yes."
"At least the Jedi escaped." Wag Too said.
"Yes, but they nearly brought harm to our entire village."
"And now, thanks to you, we have to grovel at every tyrant that enters our system." Wag Too said.
"You would mock our very way of life? I've just insured we will have peace." Tee Watt said.
"But at what price? Are you not concerned about the Jedi?"
"I have nothing against the Jedi, but we can't help them without getting involved in their war." Tee Watt said.
Wag Too walked up to his friend Tub. "Tub, track them down and make sure they get offworld." He said, making his friend do just that.
With the Jedi
"I don't get those villagers, not wanting to defend what's theirs." Rex said.
"It's the old man. He doesn't see that being too much of a pacifist blinds him to the truth that violence and greed is all the Separatist leaders know." Qymaen said.
"You're right, Qymaen. I know that he's only following his beliefs but that doesn't mean he should be blinded by them." Sly said.
"If the Separatists have a ship here, they must have a base on this planet." Shaak Ti said.
"Wait, I sense something." Sly said as he looked at the grass and used the Force to pull what was revealed to be a probe droid. He got out his lightsaber and sliced it in half.
"So they brought probe droids with them. That means their base isn't far from here." Rex said.
"Let's get a look from that tree." Sly said as they all went to the tall tree and climbed up. Rex look through his binoculars and saw that there was a Separatist base that had 3 tanks and a shuttle.
"General Qymaen, I hope your wounds are better, because I'm not you're going to be prepared for this." Rex said as he gave Qymaen the binoculars.
Qymaen looked into the binoculars and saw the base, the security and the shuttle. "That shuttle could be useful to us. And it looks like they have a new weapon."
"I don't detect any flaws in their security, General." Rex said.
"Let's go take a look, Rex." Sly said as he went with Rex to investigate.
"No, Cooper. Stay here. I have a feeling that whatever that weapon is, they will probably want to test it before they do anything else." Qymaen said.
With Durd
Is the capsule ready?" He asked the maker of the weapon.
"Yes."
Good. Today is a grand day for the Separatist cause. We test a weapon of my own design, a weapon of catastrophic destruction, a weapon that will destroy organic matter, but leave machines unharmed." Durd told the droids, making them cheer. "But first I need 2 volunteers to test it. You 2, go into that ridge."
"Roger Roger." The droids said as they did as ordered.
Durd then got out a hologram device and contacted Dooku. "Count Dooku, I have located a world in which to test our new weapon."
"I hope this weapon is worth the expense. You may proceed." Dooku said.
"As you wish, My Lord. Ready, aim, fire!" Durd told the droid, making it fire the weapon at the ridge. When the shot landed, it exploded and sent fire in a massive circle of fire spreading the ridge, destroying it but leaving the droids unharmed.
"Impressive. But now I require a test on living creatures." Dooku said.
"I have the perfect target. The colonists will make excellent test subjects." Durd said, referring to the Lurman village.
"Proceed. I eagerly await the results." Dooku said ending the transmission.
"Prepare to move out!" Durd ordered his droids.
With the Jedi and clones
"Where are they going?" Shaak Ti asked.
"Back to the village. There's nothing else in that direction." Sly answered.
"Those villagers won't stand a chance." Shaak Ti said.
"First we take out the communications, then we steal the shuttle and get to the village." Qymaen asked.
"But, General Qymaen, the old man doesn't want our help." Rex said.
"That old man has no say in the matter, not with what's coming to him and his people." Qymaen said.
"Qymaen's right. Regardless of what Tee Watt Kaa says, we will not let Innocent people die." Sly said they jumped off the tree.
But unknown to them, Tub was watching. "Tell Wag Too that the Separatists are returning." He told his flying friend, who left to deliver the message.
At night
Qymaen used the Force to move a rock, making one of the droids fallow it before Qymaen quickly destroyed it with his lightsaber. Once that was done, Qymaen moved forward with the clones.
Shaak Ti and Sly wall-jumped into the station, quickly took out the droids and opened the door for Qymaen and the clones. "Generals, I found shield generators." Rex said.
"Good. Let's take them with us." Sly said he used the Force with Qymaen to put them in the shuttle while Shaak Ti and the clones activated it. Once they were all in the shuttle, they headed to the village.
At the village
"The Separatists are on the move. They're returning to the village." Tag Woo told his father.
"They didn't attack us before, there's no reason to think they will this time." Tee Watt Kaa said.
"Father, they wouldn't be coming back here unless they intended to do us harm. This is war!"
"But it is not our war." Watt Kaa said.
"So we just lie down and do nothing? Father, even if we don't fight, we still need to defend ourselves."
"If we abandon our beliefs, we're no better than they are. We won't abandon our beliefs now or ever." Watt Kaa said stubbornly.
Later at the crack of dawn
The shuttle landed in the village and the Jedi and clones walked to Lurman. "Everyone, listen, the Separatists are coming to destroy your village." Shaak Ti said.
"I told you never to return." Tee Watt Kaa said.
"The Separatists don't care if your in the war or not, old man. We need to set up these shield generators. If we don't, your people will die. Is that what you want?" Qymaen asked.
"If it is our destiny to be destroyed by your war, so be it." Watt Kaa said, making Qymaen growl at the old man's stubbornness.
Later
"Generals, droids inbound. We have 8 minutes tops." Rex said.
"Copy that, Rex. Let's get these shield generators in place." Sly said as he got the generators in place and built a wall from the pods.
With Durd
When Count Dooku sees how effective my weapon is against civilian targets, I will be promoted to a more successful position within the alliance." He said.
"General, it looks like their building a wall with pods." A Droid said.
"Pods? How quent." Durd said as he got out his binoculars and saw that there were Jedi in the village. "Jedi? What are they doing out here? Halt!" He ordered.
With the Jedi
"Stop building that wall! We didn't ask you to defend us." Watt Kaa said.
"Shut your mouth, old man. This battle was bound to happen with or without us being here. You can stand by your pacifist ways if you want, but we will not let Innocent people die because of you or them." Qymaen said, making Watt Kaa walk away.
"Jedi, thank you for what you're trying to do for us. Many others agree with me that we should help, but we can't. My father is very strong-willed and set in his ways. We must respect that, even if we don't agree." Tag Woo said.
"Do whatever you think is right, kid. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't fight." Qymaen said as he kneeled down and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Generals, they're holding position." Rex said.
"They won't attack if they can hit us from long-range. Activate the shield." Sly said. They activated the shield as Durd ordered the droids to fire the weapon. When the capsule landed, the explosion spread fire but didn't get past the shield.
"They'll have to attack us face to face now." Qymaen said. The Jedi and clones went outside the shield and prepared their weapons as the first wave came at them but the Jedi and clones quickly destroyed them all.
"Second and third wave, attack!" Durd ordered, making them do just that.
Qymaen sas this and addressed his Jedi allies. "Go back to the village and defend it, I'll handle the weapon."
"Be careful, Qymaen." Shaak Ti said as she went to defend the village with Sly, Rex and the other clones. They got to the village and once the Droids got through, they defended the generators while cutting down droids until they successfully destroyed the generators, making the shield deactivate.
"Prepare another capsule." Durd ordered.
"Um, sir, looks like General Qymaen Jai Sheelal I headed this way." A Droid told him.
"What? Blast him!" Durd ordered as the tanks shot at Qymaen but he avoided them with Force speed.
Back at the village
Wag Too was taking some of his friends to help defend the village. "Wag Too, where are you going?" Watt Kaa asked.
"We're going to help."
"I forbid this!"
"What more would you have them do before we're allowed to defend ourselves? We have to do this." Tag Woo said as he went to help. Once they got to the battle, they began using their size and weapons to their advantage to fight the droids. After a while, the droids were all destroyed."
With Qymaen
He had gotten to the tanks and successfully destroyed the weapon with his lightsabers. Once the weapon was destroyed, he took out the droid in the other tank.
"Help! I'll be killed!" Durd said as he jumped out of the tank and tried to run but Qymaen lifted him up with the Force and pulled him to him. "Well, there goes my promotion." He said.
"Let me see what you know, slime." Qymaen said as he used Force Probe on him. He had asked Neyla to train him in that power in case they needed to get information when she wasn't with them. After Qymaen found out all he knew, he sliced Durd in half lengthwise.
After that, he got Durd's hologram device and contacted Dooku. "Sheelal? How did you get Durd's hologram device?" Dooku demanded.
"Your slimy General is dead, Sith scum. And the colonists are safe. Give this message to Sidious: His days are numbered, as are yours." Qymaen said smashing the device with his hand and heading back to the village.
"Qymaen, I'm glad you're ok. Did you get information from the General?" Shaak Ti asked.
"Yes. The weapon has been destroyed, and I sent a message to Dooku that his and Sidious's days are numbered." Qymaen asked.
"Thank you, Wag Too, we are grateful for your help." Sly said.
"And thank you for defending us." Wag Too said as his father walked up to them. "Father, I was just giving the Jedi our thanks."
"Perhaps we do own you thanks, but I still wonder at what cost." Watt Kaa said.
"Someday you'll have to learn that not defending yourself can lead to innocent people dying, old man." Qymaen said as he saw that the cruisers had finally found them.
There you go, guys, the Jedi Crash episodes and the defenders of peace episodes are complete. I wonder if I should just skip the Trespass episode and go to the Hidden enemy episode. Which would you prefer? Rate and review. See you soon, guys.
