So, I will be the first to admit that I am not the best writer. Sometimes I feel like I am putting to much detail into my works or not enough. Sometimes I feel like I am confusing all you readers and is the main reason I am not getting a lot of reviews.

If you guys think the same thing please let me know. I am always willing to listen to feedback.

Now onto to reviews,

1049: I will admit that I feel like my last chapter could have been better, but I ran out of ideas to include in the chapter.

Mpowers045: what happened last chapter is only the beginning of what will come as this arc continues.

Spartan-626: that was the whole idea of the last chapter, with a little bit of First Blood Part 2 in the plot. As for your idea about Hondo making an appearance you are going to get quite a surprise, but the Casino arc hasn't even begun.

Now then, with that aside. Its time for some more spy action. Disclaimers are the same as before so please enjoy.

Chapter 21: Island Adventure

December 15th 2019 20BBY

Canto Bight, Cantonica

1655 hours

Normal point of view

Days had past since the Lone Wolf and his companions destroyed the slave camp and made their report to the republic. In those days, Kasumi had made a complete recovery from her injuries and was back to her usual self, but with Rally keeping a closer eye on her girlfriend to ensure that she never pulled another stunt like that again.

Also, during the days that had passed no new leads on the weapons deal location or any other intel regarding the dealings of the resort planet and its many guests. But during that time, it appeared that Robert and Ahsoka were growing closer than ever before.

Outside one of the many fancy restaurants that littered Canto Bight Steela and Lux waited patiently for Robert and Ahsoka arrived. They had agreed to meet for a nice dinner and in the hopes of getting away from Tarkin. Lately, the separatist grand admiral had in his words become infatuated with miss Raassa's beauty and was starting annoy the couple.

Both Onderon natives were growing concerned, especially since that Tarkin tried to have Ahsoka executed for a crime he had a hand in. Then there was the fact that he declared his loyalty to the Separatists the same time as Admiral Ozzel did, this raised a lot of concern with the people in and outside the republic.

The sound of a speeder pulling up to the restaurant broke their worries. Dressed as a chauffer, Honoka opened the door to the speeder and out stepped Robert wearing black tuxedo like the spy he was pretending to be. Taking his hand and exiting the speeder after him was Ahsoka.

Instead of one her Cheongsam's, the Togruta girlfriend of the Lone Wolf was wearing a black, backless dinner dress with a semi long train at its end. Completing her dress was a pair of matching arm length gloves, matching shoes and a purse.

"I have to admit, Ahsoka does look lovely." Lux said to his wife.

"I still can't believe you had a crush on her after meeting her only once." Steela said back.

"Well that was then, this is now." The senator from Onderon replied glancing over to his wife. Steela was once again wearing her silver dress and Lux his tuxedo from the opening night of the charity event.

"Sorry for the wait. Ahsoka couldn't find her either one of her china dresses and this was the only one she could find." Robert explained to the couple from Onderon.

"I think your friends might be playing a trick on me again." Ahsoka said in a semi-complaining tone before she took her lovers arm and followed their friends from Onderon into the restruant. None of them knew that watching them from a top one of the nearby buildings, with a DMR was Hitomi.

Clad in her own Kunoichi stealth gear, the Japanese German girl sighed with relief that she didn't have to continue watching her friends anymore before heading back for the hotel, making sure she wasn't seen by anyone.

Meanwhile, Tarkin had returned to his ship and contacted Darth Sidious. "My lord. I am pleased to report that everything is proceeding as planned. The weapons deal will continue on schedule and buyers are lining up as we speak. However, we have a problem." Tarkin said kneeling to Sith Lords hologram.

"What is it?" Sidious demanded.

"I regret to inform you that the camp holding the slaves meant for project DS has been completely destroyed. All the guards and droids guarding the camp have been wiped out and rumors are spreading amongst the resort that the Lone Wolf and former Padawan Tano are here on Cantonica." Tarkin said.

"This is an opportunity we cannot let pass us. Skywalkers former Padawan is in possession of the last piece of the Nexus Route. We need it if we are to achieve our victory over the Republic. Do you have any suspects onto how they may be?" Sidious said, hiding his delight.

Tarkin then proceeded to show a hologram of the two suspects. "Keep an eye on those two and inform our 'associate' to prepare the surprise for the girl." Sidious instructed before ending the communication. Tarkin smiled, know exactly who the dark lord was referring to.

While Tarkin was finishing his communication with his master, back in the restaurant nearly every other patron watched as Robert and Ahsoka danced elegantly like they had rehearsed the entire dance themselves.

Couples either complemented on the beauty and youth of the young couple while others showed their disgust that a human and Togruta were together, claiming it to be a disaster and claiming that Togruta's were nothing but savages, despite the fact that said species had a place in the senate and had been seen as anything less than savage's.

"Pay them no mind Ahsoka, you are beautiful and I love you no matter what these rich assholes say." Robert said to his girlfriend who just smiled at him. "You say the nicest things darling." Ahsoka replied and the two leaned in and kissed each other.

Once they had finished their dance, they returned to the table Lux and Steela had reserved in advance. But by the time they took their seats, one of the waiters had arrived holding no menu. "I'm sorry but we don't allow her kind here. You need to tell her to leave." The waiter said.

"What's the big deal? She's my bethrothed and has just as much right to be here as anyone else in this restrurant has." Robert protested.

"Togruta's are nothing but mindless savage warriors. All they know how to do is kill and steal." The waiter said bluntly.

"Now that's just racist. My people are not savages. We are civilized beings just like everyone else in the galaxy." Ahsoka said, standing up for herself. Then the waiter slapped her across the face, hard. This was a big mistake.

"You shut your mouth you whore. The only thing your people deserve is to be hunted down like the animals you are. My parents were killed by you 'civilized beings' and it only got worse for when they tried to kill me. I was lucky to survive thanks to the Jedi who was on my planet." The waiter roared.

He slapped Ahsoka again, this time harder the before and was about to raise his hand for a third time when Robert grabbed his wrist and began to twist it hard. "No one talks about my girl like that. I was hoping to treat her to a nice dinner with a few associates but you've ruined those plans. I suggest you take your racist beliefs and get the hell out of here." Robert growled and pushed the waiter into another table resulting in the waiter being covered with food.

They left the restaurant, with Lux and Steela following them who glared at the waiter with disgust. "Sorry this turned ugly. I didn't know that some of the staff was extremely xenophobic." Lux apologized as the couples boarded the speeder that brought the undercover couple to the restaurant.

"Bastards like that make me sick," Robert began before Honoka activated the speeder and left the restaurant just as the police arrived. "If I had known earlier, I would have just suggested we order something from the hotel." He added before turning to Ahsoka. "How's the face?" he asked.

"It stings, but I'm alright." She replied.

"I was really tempted to kill that bastard, but that would have only compromised our cover." Robert admitted as the speeder came to a stop at the hotel entrance. Once the speeder was parked, Lux and Steela returned to their room as did Robert and Ahsoka.

"Well that was a short dinner." Rally said surprised coming out of the refresher. "What happened?" she asked. Robert explained what had happened and not surprisingly, Rally wanted to go give that restaurants manager a piece of her mind. Fortunately, Kasumi stopped her.

"Last thing we need is draw unnecessary attention to ourselves. Besides, while the restaurant may have been a bust, there are other things to do when we aren't looking for any leads." Rally's girlfriend said.

"Well, I think we could all really use a break from this investigation. Why don't we all go to the beach tomorrow. Little fun in the sun, sand and water for a day and then we return to the mission rested and ready." Hitomi suggested.

"Beach sounds like a good idea. Wouldn't be much of 'getaway' without a bit of beach fun." Marie agreed. The girls then turned to Robert.

"Why not, I think we need a break anyways." He said in agreement.

"Alright, tomorrow it's the beach." Honoka said delightfully.

By the time morning came, the group had loaded up the speeder with towels, sunblock and some food and headed for the beach. When they arrived, they had a little difficulty finding a place to set there stuff up and had to deal with the same bigotry from last night.

Thankfully, they found a place and placed their towels on the sand and went to change. Robert was wearing a pair of urban camouflage swimming trunks with a pair of goggles hanging under his neck. "You girls doing ok back there?" Robert called to his friends who were changing behind a nearby rock.

He got his answer as they came out from behind the rock. Kasumi was wearing a blue and white, halter top bikini with blue flowers on it. Honoka, a white halter neck string bikini. For Rally, the female gunslinger was wearing a red one-piece swimsuit which exposed a bit of cleavage around her chest.

Hitomi came out wearing a green camouflage halter neck two-piece bikini, followed by Marie who was wearing a white and black two-piece bikini. But the biggest surprise came from Ahsoka. When his girlfriend emerged from behind the rock, she came out wearing a one-piece swimsuit which like Rally's exposed quite a bit of cleavage around the chest, but hers was white with blue stripes matching her Lekku.

"How do I look?" Ahsoka asked her boyfriend. Kasumi and the others had already complimented on her stunning beauty, but she had yet to get an answer from Robert. She got her answer when she looked at Roberts face, which had turned bright red. "I always wondered what you'd look like in a swimsuit, and now I know." Robert responded.

Ahsoka's lekku darkened a bit at this comment and before she could even respond, Hitomi called out to them from a cliff that was a few feet high in the air and jumped into the water with a large splash which got Ahsoka and Robert wet.

"Sorry about that." Hitomi apologized when she came up to the surface.

Robert just pulled his goggles up, headed over to the cliff and jumped in. "GERONIMO!" he shouted and cannonballed into the water, rather coming up the surface he swam over to Hitomi, grabbed her leg and pulled her down. Hitomi was terrified when she came up for air and ran out of the water towards the others.

"Tell me that there aren't any sharks on this planet." Hitomi asked, scared of what just happened. Ahsoka was about to reply when Robert emerged from the water. "Sorry about that, I couldn't resist. But you should have seen the look on your face." He laughed.

"Oh, you are going to get it." The German-Japanese girl shouted and ran back into the water chasing after him. The others followed as well, except for Rally who just laid down on her towel and worked on her tan.

For the next few hours, Robert and his 'harem' enjoyed a nice quite day on the beach away from prying eyes of those who were possible separatist sympathizers, undercover operatives and Tarkin himself. Swimming in the ocean, laying in the sand and working on a tan or in the case of Honoka and Marie built a sand castle.

Robert and Ahsoka on the other hand had a diving contest, trying to see who could make the best dive out of the two of them. Robert had just emerged from the water, looking up as Ahsoka swam dived down into the water. The moment she had emerged from the water all of them were shocked to see several Flarestar-class shuttles and a Corona-class frigate landing behind the others.

"Looks like we might have been compromised." Ahsoka said swimming to the shore with Robert.

"Hard to say. These shuttles look familiar. I almost think that…" Robert began as he walked out of the ocean and grabbed his towel.

"Robert and Ahsoka. My two favorite warriors in the Republic. How have you two been?" a familiar voice said to them from atop the boarding ramp of one of the shuttles.

"HONDO OHNAKA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Robert shouted in confusion, pulling out his P99 from his bag and aimed at Hondo.

"Now, now is that anyway to treat your old friend Hondo for all the help he has given you during the war?" Hondo asked with a smile.

"If by help you mean trying to get a triple ransom from the Republic for Dooku, Obi-Wan and Anakin. Raiding farmers of there crop, attacking a Jedi training cruiser for Kyber crystals. And let's not forget you kidnapped my girlfriend and attempted to sell her off to someone who would use her as a slave. Then yeah, you helped us out quite a lot." Robert said sarcastically, listing every single one of Hondo's criminal dealings during the course of the war.

"Oh, you flatter me. But you forgot about my delivery of the Rocket Launchers to Onderon and the fact that I gave your mothers lightsaber back to you after you beat me fair and square." The pirate added, walking casually towards the Lone Wolf, not carrying that a 9mm sidearm was pointed directly at him.

His men raised their own weapons at them, but Hondo just had his men lower their weapons. "But our history is not important. To answer your question, I am here for several reasons." Hondo stated calmly.

Robert than lowered his weapon. "What reasons are those?" he asked.

"Well, one reason is that I heard there is a very rare treasure buried in the ocean and as a pirate, one can't help but be tempted by the thrill of such a hunt." Hondo explained as the Corona hovered above the water and exiting the craft were a couple of pirate speeder tanks and six Luxuary-class sail barges. "The second reason is that the location of the treasure is in the approximant location of another possible slave camp and location of some of the weapons you all are searching for." The pirate captain added.

"Don't worry, Skywalker and Kenobi filled me in on your mission but I am more here for the treasure. But that doesn't mean I will leave those people to become slaves. That's why I have the sail barges. I am going to get both the treasure, rescue the slaves and return them to their homes. The slaves, not the treasure. That I am keeping." Hondo explained.

"So, I take it you want our help?" Rally asked.

"Well now, you are the one they call Rally Vincent. You are even more beautiful than I heard. But to answer your question yes, I need your help to free the people and find the weapons. The treasure is my main concern." Hondo flirted.

"Hate to break it to you, but we can't do much without weapons." Marie reminded the Weequay pirate.

"Oh, don't worry my dear. I have already planned ahead and brought weapons used by you Dragoons. However, I don't think they will work once they get wet. Unless you have some sort of way to carry weapons underwater with out getting them wet." Hondo replied with a grin.

Robert and his friends deliberated for a moment before they looked towards Hondo and agreed. Minutes later, the group were aboard one of the sail barges which Hondo named the Black Pearl. Each of the undercover team was now wearing a skin-tight wetsuit which included a scuba hood covering their hair and montral's.

"You getting Deja-vu about Mon Calamari?" Ahsoka asked her boyfriend as he helped her zip up the suit.

"A little. A least we don't have to deal with Tamson and his shark buddies. Those guys gave me the creeps." Robert responded.

"And here I thought you were scared of nothing." The Togruta teased, earning her a light punch to the shoulder. "Not funny." Her boyfriend replied before pulling his own hood over his head.

"Can't believe Hondo acquired these sail-barges. He must have paid a pretty credit for these vessels and all their upgrades. I mean he gave these things four guns on each side. Feels like a pirate ship." Ahsoka said impressively.

"Well my dear," Hondo said from behind them. "I find that with the right amount of firepower, a person can avoid any unnecessary attention from prying eyes." He added.

"So, when we get to the location of the treasure, me and my friends will swim to the island you figure to be its hiding place, find the slave/weapon camp get the intel we need while you find the treasure and then you'll get the people out of here and back to their families?" Robert asked.

"Yes, that's the plan." Hondo answered as the barge came to a stop. "Well this is your stop." Hondo joked and lead the two to the others. Each of them carried water tight case carrying their gear for the mission.

"Alright people. Let's get moving." Robert said, pulling his mask down and jumping into the water. Once the others were in the water, they looked up to see the barges leave the area before they swam away towards the island where Hondo's treasure and the next possible location of the weapons were being hidden.

Roberts point of view

The moment we reached the shore of the island, me and the girls ditched our scuba gear and hid it in a large bush by a tree which we eteched a knife mark into so we would remember where we stashed the gear.

Once we unzipped our wetsuits, each of us changed into our stealth gear and checked our gadgets. All of our drones were still functional and wrist guns dry and loaded. We then opened our weapon cases which each held HK G11 K2 assault rifles and MP7A1 submachine guns. Each of them was modified to use caseless versions of their standard ammo. Credit for this achievement went to Gunner and a man named Longinus.

A former warlord who found god after he was nursed back to health by a priest in his homeland, Longinus went onto travel the world and spread the word of god, only to be caught up in a civil war in the Southern Africa jungles where he began to sell weapons to the rebels only to be caught and nearly executed had it not been for my father and the Expendables.

They were sent to extract a high value target that had information on Al-Qaeda forces in the region, but ended up rescuing Longinus as well. Grateful for their aid, he proved to be a valuable ally in fighting against terrorists and upgrading their weapons.

Such was the case with our current guns.

I never met the guy, but from what I was told the guy knew weapons well but has been known to be a little crazy. Nonetheless, I was grateful that he had these weapons. Like the original, our rifles used a fifty-round magazine but lacked the standard iron-sights that most other rifles use.

Fortunately, our rifles were equipped with a reflex sight or a low powered scope for increased accuracy. Our rifles were also given silencers and heartbeat sensors, perfect for attacking without being seen.

Our MP7A1's were equipped with red dot sights, forty-round magazines and silencers. They also came extendable stocks allowing for more controlled firing with the weapons.

As for sidearms, each of us had the one we kept with us at all time. Rally a CZ75, Honoka a Walther PPK, Marie a SIG P226, Kasumi a Minebea P9, Hitomi a HK VP9 and Ahsoka a Ruger P95. Like my P99 their sidearms were equipped with silencers so as to avoid raising the alarm before Hondo and his crew arrived.

We loaded our weapons and made our way through the island's jungle, keeping an eye on our heartbeat sensors and the jungle for any hostiles.

The further we went into the jungle the more it felt like we were being watched. Thankfully, our stealth gear code not only render us invisible to the naked eye but could also take on the camo patterns of the area we were in. Still, I couldn't help but feel like were in for quite a surprise sometime soon.

We trekked through probably three miles of the jungle before Marie began to complain. "This suck's, we haven't found anything on this damned island and I'm starting to sweat under my balaclava and I think I just stepped in some animals shit pile." She moaned, raising her boot to prove her point.

"Lighten up. This is what we signed up for when we took this mission. But I have to agree with her, we haven't found anything and it feels like we're going around in circles." Hitomi said in semi-agreement.

"Maybe we aren't looking in the right place." I added and released a drone into the air. Using my gauntlet, I made the small craft ascend to a higher altitude just enough to get over the trees and scanned the entire island. My search proved to be futile as there wasn't a single indication of any buildings or other man-made structures on the island. I recalled the drone and was about to order the group to keep moving when I noticed Honoka had just tripped and landed on the ground hard, but instead of a soft thud a large bang was heard.

"Think I found something." She called.

Making our way over to her, we found she was right. Clearing away some of the earth beneath her we found a hatch. "Looks like we struck gold." I said.

Once Honoka got back to her feet, she began to hack the terminal of hatch and opened it in no time flat. "Alright people, stay together and don't get lost. We don't know the layout of this place whatever the hell it is." I instructed.

I allowed the girls to go first so as to not be called a pervert by my girlfriend and the others. Speaking of said girlfriend, I kept feeling like I wanted to ask her the question even with the war still going on as a way for me to keep her safe from bastards like Tarkin and Sidious.

Her possession of the last piece of the Nexus Route made her a prime target for the seppies and I didn't want to take the chance of her getting capture, tortured or worse raped by separatist officers who liked to do said things to female prisoners.

I slid down the ladder and caught up with the girls, only to find that we were in something of a dead end and it looked like we could cut our way through the walls or door with our lightsabers. Fortunately, I spotted a vent and sent one of the spider drones through the vent and found a terminal on the other side of the door and a few guards.

"We got boogies on the other side. Engage active camouflage, once the doors open take out the guards quietly, use wrist guns." I instructed the others and pressed a button and my drone launched a cord and hacked the terminal with my decoder. I then quickly activated my camouflage unit and hugged the wall as the door opened up.

Four Canto Bight police officers raised their weapons and moved cautiously forward to investigate. They spotted the open hatch and were about to contact their buddies only to be downed by a series of sleep darts. Grabbing the bodies, Kasumi, Rally, Honoka and Hitomi hid them in a nearby locker while I recovered the drone and moved forwards once the four rejoined us.

"Its gonna be close quarters. Use kill shots if you need to but maintain stealth cover, knock out darts only. Keep your eyes open for droids." I instructed. The others nodded as Rally, Honoka and Hitomi slung their rifles over their shoulders and whipped out their sub-machineguns.

We moved further through the base knocking out or eliminating any hostiles we came across and hiding the bodies of the officers. We even came across a few squad's battle droids which further indicated that the separatists were involved in this to a certain degree. I was for certain that after we torched the return of the Zygerrian slave empire they would give up on trying acquire slaves. Looks like I was wrong.

Something about this didn't add up and I was determined to figure out what it was.

Every step we took meant we were getting closer and closer to our goal.

A single guard crossed our path and just before anyone of us could fire our weapons, the guard did something that none of us expected. He unhooked his cape and threw it into the guard that had came up behind him, blinding the guard before grabbing the other guard's neck and snapped it.

"What the?" I began to say before the guard that just killed his comrade turned to us and gave the notion for us to follow him. I was hesitant to trust the guard, but for some reason I felt I knew him from somewhere.

We followed the 'guard' into one of the empty guard barracks, locked the door and caught our breath while the 'guard' entered the refresher and emerged later in a black skintight diving like suit with a pair of night-vision goggles on their head. (A/N MK V Tac Suit from the Splinter Cell series.)

"You Barney's kid?" the 'guard' asked.

"Who wants to know?" I asked back, raising my rifle.

"Al Simmons, United States Black Ops soldier, Ex-CIA Agent and Expendable. Pleasure to meet you at last kid." Al said, holding out his hand.

"So, you're my Uncle Al that Barney kept talking about. I heard you were dead." I responded shaking my uncles' hand.

"As Black Ops, I don't exist. I keep ties to the group, but I don't always work with them directly. I don't want to risk getting someone I know and care about getting killed." Al explained letting go of my hand before he glanced at my friends. "So, seems Kasumi and the others are here and I take it the Togruta here is your girl friend Ahsoka Tano?" he added.

"How'd you…" I began before he explained that Barney told him.

"Barney told me when he asked me to help you out. If you're looking for the people these bastards have here, I know where they are. They also got some of that gear you're looking for." Al explained unzipping a duffle bag he had brought with him and pulled out a much to my surprise my Pulse Rifle.

"Was wondering where that gun went after Midgarda." I joked.

"Hey, I like the weapon and the Morita was off limits." Al responded and headed for the door. "Well come on. We got a jailbreak to start." He added turning around when we didn't follow.

"Come on people. Time to get to work." I said to the others and followed my uncle with the girls following closely behind.

Normal point of view

Meanwhile, Hondo and his men had dug numerous holes on a nearby beach looking for the treasure they had heard about. Most of his men at first thought it was a ploy by another pirate gang to get rid of the competition and have all the pillaging plundering of cargo ships to themselves.

But Hondo was confident that the treasure he was looking for existed and was determined to find it and claim it as his own.

One of his men hit something with their shovel and called over to Hondo, who just shoved his subordinate out of the way and began to dig around the area where the bang was heard. He moved several tons of sand before he finally struck the object that was hit. A large metal chest was pulled out and the second his men removed the chest from the hole, Hondo blasted the lock on the chest.

Holstering his blaster, Hondo opened the chest and much to his delight the chest was full of credits, gemstones of all kinds and sizes, jewelry and other valuable items. Three more chests were pulled up by the pirates also containing the same amount of treasure as the first one, but inside the last one was too everyone's surprise a wedding dress with accessories.

"Well we got our treasure. But the dress… lets give it to the Lone Wolf. He can find a use for it, I'm sure." Hondo said running his hands through the contents of the first chest. "Now, load this up onto the barges and get ready for a fight boy's. We've got some slaves to liberate and I am feeling very charitable right now." Hondo added and turned to one of his men who tossed him his customized M16A2 along with the ammo, while other pirates loaded up their own M16A2's.

By the time the chests were loaded up onto one of the barges, the rest of the pirates boarded the other barges and waited for the signal from the stealth team.

Back in the base, Robert, his uncle Al, Ahsoka and his friends had just downloaded a map of the facility and had located three locations where the slaves were being held. Knowing they couldn't hit all three area's at once without drawing some attention to themselves, they decided to split up. Ahsoka, Robert and Al took the one closest to the hanger, Rally and Kasumi the one in the east while Honoka, Hitomi and Marie took the one in the west area of the base.

They even sliced into the base's systems, cutting off the base's alarm and communication systems to avoid any unnecessary complications. Once the systems were disabled, the teams split up and headed for their objectives.

The moment they had split up, Al explained to Robert that after the battle of Midgarda and the discovery that Tarkin was a traitor, he met Barney at the airbase and was told everything that had happened to his comrades. At first, Al almost thought that his comrades were hocked on some type of new drug and were crazy. But he was convinced when the others showed him the Albatross and MK V Mjolnir Armor convinced him otherwise that what they were telling him were true, this made Al decide to join up with his comrades. He was then given his first mission.

Breaker had found that the former Republic admiral was sending a lot of money to Canto Bight but as to what the purpose of the money was for was still unknown. Being a former CIA deep cover operative, Al was able to identify himself as a new recruit for Canto Bight's police department and established himself as a tough cop who could kick anyone's ass if necessary. For nearly a month, he had handed off numerous reports to Kelta about the numerous 'side jobs' the police department had been doing.

Those 'side jobs' included trafficking of military, people and much to his distaste, drugs. From what he gathered, the weapons were still waiting to be handed off to the person who was to deliver the equipment, but the people were being sold off and sent to an unknown location while the drugs were being sent all over the galaxy to planets like Coruscant, Alderaan and Corellia. Not one to let people kill themselves by such a substance, Al found the drug labs and destroyed them while making it look like an accident caused by carelessness of one of the drug workers.

"Sounds like someone felt a sense of pride in taking those labs down." Robert chuckled, firing a sleep dart at one of the guards in front of them knocking them out cold followed by a dart from Ahsoka's wrist gun hitting the other guard while Al slit the throat of the third guard.

"I hate drugs with a passion. Didn't Barney tell you that when he mentioned me?" Al asked, moving the dead body out of the corridor while Ahsoka and Robert moved the unconscious bodies as well.

"All he told me is that you are the real-life Sam Fisher and your preferred weapons are any that have an integrated suppressor." Robert answered, firing a quick burst from his rifle and eliminating a few droids.

"Nice shooting." Al complimented.

"I learned from the best." Robert answered and moved up with the others. They had just gone a few feet when his commlink beeped. This was the signal from the others that they had completed their objectives are were moving towards the main hanger with the recently freed slaves.

"Double time it. We can't leave the others outnumbered in the middle of a fire-fight." Robert reminded and increased their pace.

They continued to encounter droid security forces until they reached the door to the slave pen. Taking one of his EMP credit grenades Robert threw the stealth munition towards the droids and watched as they short-circuited knocking them out of the fight for good.

Al then walked up to the door and pulled out a snake camera, slipping the snake part under the door and got a visual on the other side of the door. "Confirmed. Slaves are behind this door. Multiple tangos spotted inside. Explosives are a no-go." Al whispered.

"Execute door breach." Robert instructed his allies. Both Al and Ahsoka nodded and took positions on both sides of the door while the Lone Wolf placed a small breaching charge on the door and took cover on Ahsoka's side. The charge detonated, forcing the door open, allowing Ahsoka to toss one of her credit grenades into the room which detonated and took the droids down before they could even fire their weapons.

Spotting the terminal, Ahsoka quickly sliced it opening the cell doors of the slaves while Robert assured them that they were going to be all right. No sooner had he did, Rally contacted them that they had entered the hanger and were under heavy fire from both Canto Bight police and droid forces. "Hold them off as long as you can. We're on our way." Robert said to his friend, before he told the slaves to stay close to them before they headed for the hanger.

Back in the hanger, Rally and the others had told the slaves they had liberated to take cover behind a stack of crates while they dealt with the hostiles. Rifle and submachine gun rounds impacted both corrupt police officers and battle droids downing them but more kept coming into the hanger. Even with the door opened by Marie, the enemy still continued to pin them down with heavy fire.

"We can't keep this up much longer." Kasumi stated loading a fresh magazine into her sub-machinegun.

"Robert said he and the others would be here. We just have to hold them off as best we can." Rally reminded her girlfriend who fired the last of her own sub-machinegun's ammo. "I'm out." She yelled discarding her empty weapon and fired her sidearm at the hostiles.

She had downed one droid with her CZ before three more droids were downed. Looking up, she and the others spotted Robert, Al and Ahsoka on the upper floor firing their rifles at the enemy forces just as Hondo and his merry band of pirates arrived. "Who are these guys? Friends of yours?" Al asked.

"You could say that. Their pirates." Robert answered sheepishly getting him a 'are you serious' look from his uncle.

On the top of one of the barges, Hondo fired his custom rifle at the security units who were caught completely by surprise and were downed within seconds. The firefight had ended.

"Well it looks like I got here just in time to save the day my young friend." Hondo said to Robert as his men began loading the freed slaves onto the barges and tended to their wounds. "Remember boys, don't get any ideas about the women. I want them returned to their homes unharmed." He reminded.

His men gave him grumbled responses but followed through with their captain's orders. Once they were clear of the facility and recovered the scuba gear, Al pressed a button on the detonator he had revealing that he had set charges on the bases reactor and watched as a series of explosions erupted from the ground indicating the base was gone for good.

They dropped Al off a few miles from the resort where he had hidden a speeder and took it back to the city before anyone noticed he was gone while Hondo dropped off Robert and his friends back at the location the pirate had picked them up from. He even handed over the wedding dress to Robert, which he gave to Rally who jumped at the chance to get her hands on a wedding dress.

By the time they returned to the hotel, the sun had begun to set as Kasumi and the others went back to the yacht to return the weapons to the ship before a cleaning person found them in the room.

While they were doing that, Robert sat on the bed and waited patiently for Ahsoka who said she had a surprise for him. He was just wondering what this surprise for him was when Ahsoka emerged from the refresher wearing her old slave outfit.

The color of the outfit was still the same, her tiara still had the same green gem and still had the same skirt and arm sleeves. But unlike the original one, this version of her outfit was more revealing and had a veil covering her face. "Wow." Robert said impressively.

"Time for a private dance baby." Ahsoka said playfully and with a wave of her hand queued a nearby stereo and exotic music began to play.

Standing perfectly still for a few moments, Ahsoka began to sway her hips back and forth with her arms floating above her head. Robert leaned back on the bed and watched as she rocked her hips side to side. She was a natural exotic dancer, even considering her cover was Roberts betrothed a former slave who was freed by Bond from the clutch's of Ziro the Hutt prior to his death.

He watched his girl run her hands over chest sexily and winked at him before the music ended along with the dance. "That was amazing Ahsoka. I never knew you could dance like that." Robert admitted.

"What can I say, I am just full of surprises." She responded and began to removed her outfit. "No peaking." She teased. Robert soon realized what she was about to do and turned to face the wall. He waited for a few minutes before he turned around and saw Ahsoka wearing her lingerie again. She then crawled into bed and kissed Robert on the cheek before they quickly fell asleep.

Chapter complete.

Bet you guys didn't expect to see Hondo or Al Simmions in this chapter now did you? Well I'd figure I'd bring in the old Pirate and a certain anti-hero at once.

Looks like Tarkin has a suspicion onto the true identity of our hero and his group. Who is this associate Sidious spoke of and what is their plan for them? You'll have to wait and see in the next chapter, which I promise will have a bit of humor, holiday theme and the beginning of a wonderful life for two people.

Until next time, please read and review and let me know if you want Ahsoka to wear a ballgown similar to Belle's from the animated Beauty and the Beast movie.
