Fates Ties Chapter 21, a star wars: the clone wars fanfic

[CH 21]

[Partner 1]

The last day of the trip was nice, even if Fives and Echo wouldn't let them out of their sight or grasp. Cora didn't mind it so much. After everything that happened that day she needed the snuggles and reassurance. And Echo made sure to give it to her.

A bit of time passed after they returned to Coruscant and told the council what happened. The council was shocked they had helped two sith turn from Dooku. Lock was especially impressed and excited hoping this meant they'd be able to help Skywalker if he did turn. But he'd leave that for another time.

After that battel Cora had been feeling off. She had been feeling restless, yet tired at the same time. Echo was worried but even she wasn't sure what it was. One day they were all sparing when.

"Cora's bleeding!" Bait yelled as he pointed at Cora's gray pants. She looked down and flushed, her gray pants were slightly soaked with a trickles of red blood. The guys were panicking as Heavy said "I, I didn't even hit her near there. Cora, are you okay?"

Echo grabbed her and said "We should go to the medbay and…" She shouted with embarrassment and said "Guys stop it I'm fine."

"But…" "It's natural."

They all seemed shocked at that.

(Irma.)

Cora then said "No please tell me they gave you a talk on basic female anatomy please."

Fives blushed as (Fives.)

Cutup then said "But we didn't know about this. Does it hurt?"

Cora then said "First of all let me get clean then we'll talk and then I'm giving the council a piece of my mind about not educating you guys on this."

She did just that. After getting cleaned and explaining things to the guys, who looked like they were going to faint.

Cora said "Irma watch them, I have a council to berate."

(Irma.)

Let's just say after Cora got through with them they would make sure to never let such an oversight be made again if they didn't want to face Cora's wrath. But now they had to get a video on female biology for their troopers to see so there would no more incidents. Let's just say a few of the troopers needed a day off after fainting or going into shock after learning about that.

After that the guys seemed a bit afraid of the girls but they tried to calm them down about it.

Cora said "Would you guys calm down? We've gone through this for half our lives and pain killers' help so just chill, I'll be fine."

(Irma.)

(Fives.)

Echo then said "How did we never notice?"

Cutup then said "Yeah that's just weird."

(Irma.)

Cora then said "Yeah and we haven't had any really bad days with them on missions because of the type of pain killers you guys have here so we never had a problem with it."

Heavy then sighed saying "It's official men are weak compared to you girls."

Bait then said "Do you need anything?"

Cutup then said "What about you Irma…"

(Irma.)

Cora then said "Yeah guys, if we ever need help we tell you. Plus I think you're all the ones that need help getting over this."

They all seemed to blush at that a bit embarrassed. The girls sighed they understood the boys were just being caring about them but this was a bit much even for them.

Anyway Cora thought after that she'd be feeling better but no. She was still feeling off. One night she was dreaming it wasn't a shared dream. She was walking around a tall grassed land.

'This is Lothal, from Rebels. So cool. Why am I here?' Suddenly she heard a yip. She turned and was staring at what looked to be a fox. She came up and said 'Hello. Aren't you cute?'

The fox stared with its large almond eyes into hers that suddenly turned blue. That was weird she felt the fox was trying to connect to her. What was happening?

[Me 1]

Echo grabbed her and said "We should go to the medbay and…" She shouted with embarrassment and said "Guys stop it I'm fine."

"But…" "It's natural."

They all seemed shocked at that.

"It's called a period. You guys have heard of them right?" Irma looks surprised at this.

Cora then said "No please tell me they gave you a talk on basic female anatomy please."

"Sort of." Fives blushes.

Cutup then said "But we didn't know about this. Does it hurt?"

Cora then said "First of all let me get clean then we'll talk and then I'm giving the council a piece of my mind about not educating you guys on this."

She did just that. After getting cleaned and explaining things to the guys, who looked like they were going to faint.

Cora said "Irma watch them, I have a council to berate."

"Sure thing." Irma nods looking over the white faced guys.

After that the guys seemed a bit afraid of the girls but they tried to calm them down about it.

Cora said "Would you guys calm down? We've gone through this for half our lives and pain killers' help so just chill, I'll be fine."

"This one just snuck up on her." Irma explains.

"Do you have it now?" Fives looks over a bit red faced.

"Actually yes. But like she said medicine helps along with chocolate." Irma explains.

Echo then said "How did we never notice?"

Cutup then said "Yeah that's just weird."

"After a girl first gets it, we learn to keep track. But every now and again it sneaks up on us." Irma shrugs.

Cora then said "Yeah and we haven't had any really bad days with them on missions because of the type of pain killers you guys have here so we never had a problem with it."

Heavy then sighed saying "It's official men are weak compared to you girls."

Bait then said "Do you need anything?"

Cutup then said "What about you Irma…"

"Guys, we're fine." Irma says.

Cora then said "Yeah guys, if we ever need help we tell you. Plus I think you're all the ones that need help getting over this."

They all seemed to blush at that a bit embarrassed. The girls sighed they understood the boys were just being caring about them but this was a bit much even for them.

The next morning Cora looked half asleep.

"Cora, you okay?" Irma looks at her worried.

(Cora)

"Dream? What happened in it?" Irma is curious.

(Cora)

"Cora I think that was a force vision. We should talk to Lock." Irma suggests.

Cora agrees and they look for him. He had been talking with Ti over there coms. The girls giggle at the sight. Lock turns a bit red getting caught like that.

"Can I help you girls?" Lock clears his throat still red after hanging up.

"Well…" The girls glance at each other.

"Is something wrong?" Lock looks at the curiously and worried.

(Cora)

[Partner 2]

The next morning Cora looked half asleep.

"Cora, you okay?" Irma looks at her worried.

Cora yawned as she said "Just a really weird dream."

"Dream? What happened in it?" Irma is curious.

"I was on Lothal and a fox was trying to connect with me, it was weird." She replied as her mind traveled back to the dream.

"Cora I think that was a force vision. We should talk to Lock." Irma suggests.

Cora agrees and they look for him. He had been talking with Ti over there coms. The girls giggle at the sight. Lock turns a bit red getting caught like that.

"Can I help you girls?" Lock clears his throat still red after hanging up.

"Well…" The girls glance at each other.

"Is something wrong?" Lock looks at the curiously and worried.

Cora sighed as she explained her dream. "Do you know what it could be about?" Lock got up and said "Cora, you are now ready to go through your trail." "What?" they said surprised.

"But I went through my trial and I don't need another saber." Cora said a bit shocked.

(Irma.)

Lock then said "This isn't for that. Your first trial was a trial for your team. The second trial is the trial for you girls personally. It is the trail that will help tell us if you will be ready to be a jedi knight someday."

They both looked shocked as Lock then said "I'll get a ship ready for us. Like Irma you have to do this yourself."

Cora was anxious she had never been away from Echo that far off and she wasn't sure how long it will be.

Irma patted her back.

(Irma.)

Cora sighed and said "Your right we should talk go tell the guys."

As they did they looked surprised. Echo then said as he hugged her "I know you have to do it alone but…" "Yeah I know, I don't like the idea of being apart for too long but the guys and Irma will keep you company."

Echo sighed as he said "It's not that. What if…" "Don't think like that. Have hope. I'll be okay."

Echo sighed once more but nodded still not liking the idea.

(Fives.)

(Irma.)

Heavy then said "We'll be waiting for you okay."

Cutup then said "Yeah and we'll be rooting for you."

Bait smiled as he said "And when you do I'll make a nice dinner for the team to celebrate you two girls almost becoming full-fledged jedi." They all laughed at that till Lock came in and said "Cora, it's time."

They all frowned at that and said their goodbye.

(Irma.)

Cora replied "Thanks I will."

Echo then held her tight taking in her flowery scent as he said "I'll miss you, come back safe."

Cora replied "I will, you stay safe too. I love you." They kissed and headed off.

Cora still hated lift off, she missed Echo holding her hand to stay calm. Lock looked over and said "It will be okay. We'll reach there at night and sleep then the next day we'll get to the temple."

Cora nodded as she said "You told Irma the wolves represented gray jedi. What does the fox represent?"

Lock smiled as he looked over the stars and said "Compassion." Cora was shocked at that. Her compassionate? She was irritated easily, had a temper, and would get mad at villains easily. Lock saw her confusion and said "Why are you so surprised? You have shown such kindness to your friends and others. Even your enemies, the sith girls. Would you have ended them if they had not turned?"

"No I would have arrested them, but not killed them. They hadn't done anything too bad. Well yeah bad, but not to the point that they couldn't have changed. Well not till I saw how they acted when Dooku started treating them like trash."

Lock then said "Keep that in mind. The way you acted in that battel, I think that's what sparked this." Cora looked up unsure.

Could that have sparked her time to go through the trail? She sighed and decided to read while she waited for the trip to end.

[Me 2]

Cora sighed as she explained her dream. "Do you know what it could be about?" Lock got up and said "Cora, you are now ready to go through your trail." "What?" they said surprised.

"But I went through my trial and I don't need another saber." Cora said a bit shocked.

"Does this mean she's getting a crystal too?" Irma looks surprised.

They both looked shocked as Lock then said "I'll get a ship ready for us. Like Irma you have to do this yourself."

Cora was anxious she had never been away from Echo that far off and she wasn't sure how long it will be.

"We should tell the guys." Irma pats her back.

Cora sighed and said "Your right we should talk go tell the guys."

Echo sighed as he said "It's not that. What if…" "Don't think like that. Have hope. I'll be okay."

Echo sighed once more but nodded still not liking the idea.

"We'll be here when you get back." Fives smiles at his sister-in-law.

"You'll do great." Irma smiles at her.

Heavy then said "We'll be waiting for you okay."

Cutup then said "Yeah and we'll be rooting for you."

They all frowned at that and said their goodbye.

"I have training with Kenobi then a call with dad. Can you guys keep Echo company?" Irma looks over at them.

"We got this." Heavy and Cutup give thumbs up.

"We'll just take him out for a guys day." Bait nods.

Irma nods then heads off.

"Come on Echo. Doing something might help you feel better." Fives pats his back.

(Echo)

"It helped me some." Fives nods.

(Echo)

"Time for some pool and music." Heavy cheers.

Echo didn't look like he was interested in any of it.

"Give it a shot. If it doesn't help at all you and I will come back and just talk." Fives gives him an understanding smile.

(Echo)

[Partner 3]

"Come on Echo. Doing something might help you feel better." Fives pats his back.

Echo sighed as he felt Cora get farther and farther away and said "I don't know."

"It helped me some." Fives nods.

Echo sighed saying "Maybe."

"Time for some pool and music." Heavy cheers.

Echo didn't look like he was interested in any of it.

"Give it a shot. If it doesn't help at all you and I will come back and just talk." Fives gives him an understanding smile.

Echo sighed but nodded.

They came to the place they had come too for their birthday with Rex and the other commanders. Echo tried his hand at pool and it relaxed him a bit but he couldn't get Cora out of his mind completely then the radio started up.

'There's no way to say this song's about someone else. Every time you're not in my arms. I start to lose myself. Someone please pass me my shades. Don't let 'em see me down. You have taken over my days. So tonight I'm going out.'

Echo sighed that song described him to a T at the moment. Maybe a burger would help.

'Yet I'm feeling like. There is no better place than right by your side. I had a little taste. And I'll only spoil the party anyway. Cause all the girls are looking fine. But you're the only one on my mind.'

As Echo ate at the bar he saw three of his brothers get distracted by girls, he rolled his eyes but looked down at his food. He then felt Fives come next do him and pat his back. He smiled at that and tried eating a bit more.

'La da dee. La da dee doo. La da da me. La da da you. La da dee. La da dee doo. There's only me. There's only you.'

Echo then said "I hope Bait doesn't mind but when Cora comes back I'd rather we bring the girls here. Cora likes this kind of setting and the music, she'd definably enjoy it as she dances." He felt a shiver go up his spine the way she moved when she danced always drove him mad.

(Fives.)

"No I'm okay the music helps somewhat and at least the guys are having fun. Just worried a bit you know."

(Fives.)

"Yeah that's how it feels. Like it's getting thinner and thinner till there's a thread. I know she can do it though."

(Fives.)

Echo smiled saying "Thanks. Want to try a video game? They have this strange Earth game with a small orb eating other little orbs."

And with that they headed off to play.

Unknown to them they had two men glaring at them. One said "So that's our competition." He was a purple Thugurat. The other is the same as master fisto said "Pathetic clones." The purple one said "Don't worry about it. We'll show them in time." And with that they headed out.

With Cora.

They had landed on Lothal and got a room. She wanted to call up Echo but Lock said it'd be late night there by now. Cora sighed at that but nodded as she fell asleep well enough, but she was dreaming again only it wasn't a vision it was a shared dream.

Dream-

Echo was sitting at the bar stool in the restaurant. He wondered why he was still there. He thought he had gone to bed a while ago. Then he heard her "Echo?" He looked over surprised and asked "Cora, it's really you, well the real dream you but…"

She rushed to kiss him and said "Yeah. Wow I can't believe we can share dreams this far off." "I know it's strange but nice. How are you?" "Just got to bed. You?" "Went to sleep some time ago." "I should probably leave so we can both rest." Echo held on to her tighter and said "No stay. I… I miss you."

Cora smiled as she said "I miss you too. This feels weird like a string is tied around my heart and being pulled back across to yours." Echo sighed as he said "Yeah, that's how it feels. It doesn't feel right but I know you'll be okay." "Thanks, I need the confidence booster." "Any time." Suddenly the radio turned on and…

'La da dee. La da dee doo. La da da me. La da da you. La da dee. La da dee doo. When you were gone I think of you…'

Echo blushed as Cora laughed and then said "Come on you let's dance." And that's what they did for the rest of the night in their dreams. Danced.

[Me 3]

'La da dee. La da dee doo. La da da me. La da da you. La da dee. La da dee doo. There's only me. There's only you.'

"You not feeling okay?" Fives looks over a bit worried.

"No I'm okay the music helps somewhat and at least the guys are having fun. Just worried a bit you know."

"Feels like a thread huh?" Fives gives a sad smile understanding the feeling.

"Yeah that's how it feels. Like it's getting thinner and thinner till there's a thread. I know she can do it though."

"Well I'm here if you need to talk." Fives pats his shoulder.

Echo smiled saying "Thanks. Want to try a video game? They have this strange Earth game with a small orb eating other little orbs."

And with that they headed off to play.

With Irma.

She decided to freshen up after her match against Kenobi. She still couldn't beat him. But came close this time.

Irma called her dad on her phone as Link snuggled on her lap. Mr. Spell missed their video chats so this was a nice change of pace. They talked about their day some and she mentioned how Cora was gone for a bit.

"Well when she gets back tell her I wished her luck." Mr. Spell smiles softly.

"I will." Irma nods. "Oh! Did mom send her vail?" She beams at the thought of the wedding being a few months away.

"I have it here." Mr. Spell chuckles. "You never said what you would like for a wedding present." He lifts a brow.

"You not going on ops anymore." Irma half jokes with a small laugh.

The two laugh at that. Then they chat a bit more before lights out.

The next morning Echo seems to be a bit chipper. Irma looks over at Fives.

"Dream with Cora." Fives states.

"Oh, okay." Irma pets a clingy Link.

(Echo)

"You talk in your sleep." The other Dominos say.

(Echo)

"Only when stressed." Irma assures him.

"Being on shift should keep you busy. But again if you need to talk we can take some time." Fives assures him.

[Partner 4]

The next morning Echo seems to be a bit chipper. Irma looks over at Fives.

"Dream with Cora." Fives states.

"Oh, okay." Irma pets a clingy Link.

Echo looked up shocked and blushed as he said "How did you know!?"

"You talk in your sleep." The other Dominos say.

Echo looked mortified as he said "I do?" What else has he said in his sleep?

"Only when stressed." Irma assures him.

"Being on shift should keep you busy. But again if you need to talk we can take some time." Fives assures him.

He nodded glad for the change of subject too. Cutup stared making kissing noises and Heavy said "Oh Cora, you dance like a star in the shimmering night." That was it, Echo started chasing the two around as Bait held his head in embarrassment of his immature brothers.

(Irma and Fives.)

With Cora.

It was still night when Cora felt herself stir. She got up and went to shake Lock awake. "Cora what's wrong?" "I have to go to the temple. Now." Lock was confused but saw the desperation in her eyes and said "Alright lets go."

As they walked the moon made the land glow. Cora could sense the foxes sneaking about fallowing them but they meant no danger, they were trying to help in some way. She just didn't know how.

After opening it she walked in a bit afraid but determined. As she entered there seemed to be only one way to go. 'Okay so let's see where it takes me.'

As she walked through she felt a certain shift. She couldn't understand though, more foxes seemed to appear. How had they gotten in the temple?

As she walked she soon found a pond. She looked at her reflection when a fox pushed her in. She screamed as she fell through. When she found herself asleep on a table in a book store. "Where am I?"

"Excuse me miss." She looked up and saw a worker say "Are you okay? You passed out while reading." "Um… yeah I'm okay. But what am I…" Suddenly her eyes widened as she focused more on the worker. Was that… "Miss do you need something?" The man that looked like Echo asked. "I need to go."

Suddenly as she was getting up to leave the store she felt the fake grab her hand and said "Why? If you say here you'll never have to worry about anything or anyone. You won't have to worry about me dying. I can be safe with you forever."

The fake looked at her and his eyes were different, this wasn't her Echo. She pulled back and said "I may be afraid to lose him, but I can't be selfish either. He has a duty and I want to help."

The fake then said "You step out of here and there is no guarantee that he will survive." Cora just walked on as she said "That's why I'm here and life may not have those guarantees but love does."

With that she walked out. She sighed thinking the trail was over but as she looked about she gasped, she was still in the cave with no way out especially with a giant fox right in front of her.

"How…?" that was all she got out as suddenly smaller foxes came out and their eyes glowed blue as did hers. She began to connect with them but one, the leader of their group came up and said something to her.

'You must talk with him.' 'Oh is that it? I can do that.' 'It will not be simple. He is angry at the people of the planet for locking him up. He will awaken soon and try to get his revenge on them.' 'What? But there are innocence's out there. Why did they force him here anyway? Did he hurt someone?' 'No, they were just afraid of him.' 'That's not right.'

Suddenly she felt the creature stir and she turned to see its eyes open. The other foxes rushed off as Cora looked into his eyes and brought her hand out. It growled at her but she then tried something she saw in a movie. She looked away, the creature was stunned by this and tapped its nose to her hand. Their minds linked.

The large fox said 'Why are you here? Do you not fear me?' Cora looked into his eyes that shined with hers and asked 'Why? You haven't hurt me.' 'I can hurt you.' 'You could if you wanted. But do you?' He growled but she didn't let herself flinch or back off. The large fox then said 'Brave aren't you?' 'No, mostly a little crazy.'

The fox smirked as he said 'Perhaps but in a good way. Why aren't you afraid?' 'You didn't really do anything. People locked you up and that hurt you. I know how that feels. To be judged for being different.'

The fox seemed to look sad a he said 'I never hurt them and they locked me away!' 'I know but trying to hurt them all will only prove them right.' The fox then said 'Then what do I do?' 'Prove them wrong. Be the fox you truly are. Show your heart.' At that the fox dark coat seemed to brighten with a beautiful midnight blue and stars and moon that brightened his eyes.

"Wow." She said as she looked at the beautiful coat with the intricate designs. The AI appeared and said "Very good, you have helped keep the land safe."

Cora then asked "Is it over?" The AI smiled and said "Yes, but before your go. Do you mind taking this little one?" He showed her a small red little kit as he said "Hunters caught his family and he refuses any other fox."

She came up and as the little one shivered she let her hand out looking away. The little one tapped its nose to her hand and then licked it. She smiled as she said "Well if he has no place to go."

The AI smirked as he gave her the fox and opened a door for her to leave. He replied "You've been here three days. A little longer than your friend so don't be surprised if they're all worried." She blushed and thought 'Oh Echo's going to be clingy, well that's actually not so bad.'

She shook that off and nodded as she headed off to meet Lock who looked relieved but then saw the fox kit. She replied "I'll explain after a nap." She almost fainted but he grabbed her and helped her get back to the ship.

[Me 4]

"Can't you act like adults?" Irma demands.

"Really, these are my brothers." Fives sighs.

Three days passed and Echo looked like he was ready to go out searching for Cora. Fives kept him busy with activities and movies.

(Echo)

"She'll be back soon." Fives pats his back with Echo slumped on a table.

"The trail was just a bit longer is all. I'm sure she'll be back any day now." Irma tries to assure him.

Link jumps up. Seemingly feeling bad for the trooper, he licks his face.

(echo)

While echo was patting him, Link sniffed the air. He then looked over for all of them to see Cora holding a kit.

"Oh so cute." Irma looks at the nervous little thing.

(Cora)

"Irma goes and gets a gem. Cora goes and brings back a pet?" Heavy scratches his head not getting it.

(Echo)

(Cora)

[Partner 5]

Three days passed and Echo looked like he was ready to go out searching for Cora. Fives kept him busy with activities and movies.

Echo sat with a jittery leg as he said "She's been gone too long. I need to go find her."

"She'll be back soon." Fives pats his back with Echo slumped on a table.

"The trail was just a bit longer is all. I'm sure she'll be back any day now." Irma tries to assure him.

Link jumps up. Seemingly feeling bad for the trooper, he licks his face.

Echo smirked and said "Thanks Link." And started to pat the cat.

While Echo was patting him, Link sniffed the air. He then looked over for all of them to see Cora holding a kit.

"Oh so cute." Irma looks at the nervous little thing.

Cora then sad "His name's Moon." They could see why as he had large silvery eyes.

"Irma goes and gets a gem. Cora goes and brings back a pet?" Heavy scratches his head not getting it.

Echo rushed up to kiss her and said "I've missed you. What happened?"

She pulled him down for another kiss and said "A lot, but don't let go please. I don't ever want you apart for that long again."

"Agreed." He said as he hugged her the little thing sniffed at Echo and started pawing his chest. Cora then said "Looks like he likes you, that's good."

They sat down as she explained what happened.

(Irma and Fives.)

The others where slack jawed while Echo just smiled at her as he snuggled her in and said "I'm so proud of you." "I just did what I thought was right."

Heavy then said. "I would have shot it."

Cutup then said "Yeah how…"

Bait got out of his trance as he said "So Cora, victory dinner for you and Irma." Cora the said "Sounds great Bait."

Echo then said "What about going out?"

"Tomorrow Echo. I'm still tired and I need to get Moon settled in." "You're right sorry. It's just…" "I know I'm excited to be with you too."

Link came up to the little fox who shivered like a leaf but only started grooming him making the little one calm down and somewhat purr.

(Irma.)

"Oh I am so glad they get along, this way they can keep each other company when we're gone."

Cora's shirt from then on would now have a Lothfox outline in sliver on her shirt. She thought it would make sense after what she had been through and remind her to keep in mind what she truly was. Not just a fighter but a compassionate heart.

[Me 5]

They sat down as she explained what happened.

"I know you could do it." Irma smiles at her as she plays with the pup in her lap.

"Sounds like an adventure." Fives adds.

The others where slack jawed while Echo just smiled at her as he snuggled her in and said "I'm so proud of you." "I just did what I thought was right."

Heavy then said. "I would have shot it."

Cutup then said "Yeah how…"

Bait got out of his trance as he said "So Cora, victory dinner for you and Irma." Cora the said "Sounds great Bait."

Echo then said "What about going out?"

"Tomorrow Echo. I'm still tired and I need to get Moon settled in." "You're right sorry. It's just…" "I know I'm excited to be with you too."

Link came up to the little fox who shivered like a leaf but only started grooming him making the little one calm down and somewhat purr.

"Looks like Link made a friend." Irma smiles at the two.

"Oh I am so glad they get along, this way they can keep each other company when we're gone."

For dinner Bait made some of their favorite dishes. As they ate the two animals stay with one another on the floor.

Moon kinda sniffs the star flake chow. Link shows him it's safe to eat then the pup nibbles it. Linking the fishy taste he eats it with a wagging tail.

'So cute.' The girls look down at the pair.

"Oh right, we should take him to the vet soon so he can be registered. I can bring you and show help with the paper work." Irma sips her drink.

(Cora)

"It's no trouble." Irma chuckles. "And Link is due for a checkup anyway." She assures.

(Cora)

Link gives a look. He never did like the vet. These ones look like cats so it's a bit better but still. The vet was not a fun place for him. Moon simply licks his lips and yips for seconds.

"Okay, okay." Bait chuckles pouring a little more into the bowl.

[Partner 6]

"Oh right, we should take him to the vet soon so he can be registered. I can bring you and show help with the paper work." Irma sips her drink.

Cora then said "Really? Thanks that'd be a big help."

"It's no trouble." Irma chuckles. "And Link is due for a checkup anyway." She assures.

"I guess that works for the both of us then."

After Moon had gotten settled in and Cora got her strength back from the trial things seemed to be going back to normal for them.

The girls did go to the guys' favorite hangout spot that the CO's took them for their birthday and they had really enjoyed it. The games were fun and Cora and Echo would dance whenever they could. Irma got competitive with the games and kept getting new high scores for the guys to try to beat.

Right now though they were on a new mission, they were going to the planet Christophsis to investigate a few sightings of some new strange looking droids.

The girls looked around at the very nice looking city. Cora then said ", they really got it cleaned up after what happened."

(Irma.)

Heavy asked "You two know about this place?"

Cora said "It was the intro to the series and they also had the episode with Slick in it."

(Irma.)

(Fives.)

Echo frowned as he said "Good thing they got him locked up tight."

Cutup then said "Yeah, that traitor should never see the light of day again."

Bait looked down sadden as he said "How could he betray his own brothers?"

The girls comforted them Cora said "It was his loss. Maybe he was just lost as well, sadly he turned to the wrong people for help." 'I wonder if we could have stopped that though if we had come earlier.'

Echo then thought back 'Please don't, then we probably wouldn't have met the way we did or worse he could have…' 'It's okay Echo, I'll leave that be. I was just thinking.' Echo mentally sighed as she chuckled.

They soon landed and were met by the leader who said "Thank you for coming. I did not know what else to do."

Lock said "It's okay, that is what were are here for, to help."

They all nodded at that the man sighed as he said "Thank you. Please let us talk in a more privet setting."

And with that they fallowed the elderly man into the large building.

As they got into a sort of meeting room he put up a holovid. "So far that is what we have seen."

Cora said "They're like a mix of commando and battel droids."
