SWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSWSW
The morning sun shown over Royal woods as Lynn groaned and woke up to see that Lucy had left.
"Morning." Lynn heard before she turned to see Luna leaning against the door frame.
"H-hey." Lynn barely got out as she did her best to avoid making contact with her music loving sister.
"Lucy told me about what happened last night." Luna said as she walked in and sat next to the former sports star and, much to her surprise, pulled her in to soft hug. "I'm sorry. We've all been so caught up on Lincoln leaving, none of us took a moment to think how it was doing for you." She said.
"Can't say I blame you. I'm the reason he left in the first place." Lynn said, her guilt still overwhelming her.
"All of us did it, Lynn and it wasn't cool of us to put all of the blame on you." Luna said, gaining a small smile from Lynn.
"Thank, Luns. I apre..." Lynn began to say before she once more began to hear the pained singing as well as a heavy weight on her chest.
"Lynn!" What's wrong?" Luna asked in panic as Lynn fell down.
"Something's coming. Something bad." Lynn said with absolute fear in her voice before an alarm system set up by Lisa began to.
(Meanwhile with Lucy)
The black clad Loud sister looked up to sky with her breath caught in her chest as she whispered "They're coming." while she looked out with the Force to see the Purge Destroyer entering the solar system.
(On Dantooine)
Lincoln was on board the Rogue Shadow while frantically prepping the ship for launch.
"Lincoln. You have to try and calm down." Kanan said as he walked in to the bridge of the Shadow.
"Kanan. I saw it clear as I'm looking at you right now. They're going after my family. I have to go." Lincoln said firmly.
"I know you do. That's why we're coming with you." Kanan said with a smile.
"Kanan's right. There's no way that we'd let you go alone on this." Hera said as she, Zeb, and Sabine all walked in.
"In case you've forgotten, we're your family too. We're always here when you need us." Sabine said to her boyfriend.
"Guys. Thank you so much." Lincoln said, barely able to stop the tears forming in his eyes he then signaled for Sixer to come off his back. "Connect the nav computer with the one on the Ghost. We need to get moving." He said as Sixer went to the computer and the rest of the Specters sans Sabine exited the Rogue and went to the Ghost before both ships took off.
(Back on Earth)
A blonde woman in a red sweater entered Lisa's room with a man with balding brown hair wearing a dark green sweater.
"Lisa what is with all this racket?" The woman, Rita asked.
"These images just came in from a satellite telescope." Lisa replied as she showed an image of the Destroyer.
"OM Gosh." They heard before they turned to see Lori and Leni.
"Are those literally Aliens?" Lori asked.
"I'm afraid so, Lori." Lisa said as a brunet girl with braces joined in.
"Maybe they're friendly."
"Afraid not, Luan." Luna said as she came in. "Things are about to get really.
"What do you know about this?" Lisa asked, noting the certainty in the rocker's voice.
"Not alot of time to explain, Brainbox." Luna said before turning to Luan and Leni. "Luan, get everyone in to the bunker. Leni, we need to get the guns. Let's move!" She commanded as the others looked at each other before they all rushed out.
Luna quickly made her way down to the basement of the Loud House where she slid back a wall to reveal a safe filled with weapons.
"Luna? What is going on?" Leni asked she watched her sisters put on a holster set and two handguns before she tossed a repeater to Leni.
"Put simply, we're in trouble." Luna said, grabbing two more guns before the two of them made their way to the back yard and down in to the bunker.
(On the Rogue Shadow)
Lincoln was in the ramp room of the Shadow, readying his black and red speeder bike.
"Lincoln, we're nearing Earth." Sabine said over the speakers.
"Good. Is everyone ready for the op?" Lincoln asked as he finished making sure every system on his bike was in the green.
"Yup. Hera's already got the Phantom prepped for her part.
"Alright. Let's get moving. We've got no time to waste." Lincoln said as he got on the speeder bike.
On her part, Sabine activated the Rogue Shadow's cloaking system after it had come out of hyperspace. Maneuvering past the Purge Destroyer and through a small fleet of fighters, the Shadow lowered a safe distance above the outside of town before Lincoln rode out of the ship and flew down several stories before he began riding at full speed down the roads.
(At Lucy's cave)
The black clad Loud sat in a meditative position, waiting for the arrival of the enemy as Qui Gon appeared behind her.
"The time has come. You are ready to face them." Qui Gon said with a noticeable hint of pride in his voice.
"Thank you, Master." Lucy replied as she stood up and walked to the mouth of the cave where she was met by a squad of Purge Troopers, several of which were pointing blasters at her.
Lucy stood with her hands up as one of the Troopers approached her with a pair of binders only to stop when they noticed a small smirk on the face of her black clad girl. Suddenly a blast came out of nowhere, killing a few Troopers as the rest looked to see Lincoln riding in. The white haired Jedi then leapt off of his bike before it slammed in to one of the Troopers. Lincoln then ignited his lightsaber in midair before cutting down the Trooper in front of Lucy.
"Here. You might need this." Lincoln said before handing the crystal he found on Dantooine to his sister. Lucy then quickly pulled out her saber hilt and placed the crystal in to it before igniting the weapon as a blade as yellow as the noon sun. The two siblings then stood back to back as the remainder of the Troopers rushed at them.
The two siblings then went in to battle, Lincoln jumping on the hammer of one of the Trooper before stabbing him while Lucy flipped over two of the staff carrying Troopers and cut them down before blocking the hit of a blade wielders, allowing Lincoln the opening to pull out his blaster and shoot him. The two of them then sensed movement behind them and turned to see one last Trooper preparing to shoot them with a rocket. Just as the weapon was fired, both Loud siblings reached out with the Force, Lucy, holding the Trooper in place, as Lincoln grabbed the rocket and pushed it back in to the Trooper, putting a swift end to them.
Their fight now finished, the two siblings deactivated their lightsabers before turning to each other and sharing a smile. Lucy the wordlessly jumped at her brother and wrapped her arms around his neck, ecstatic to finally be able to make physical contact with him again.
"I've missed you too, Luc." Lincoln said with a soft smile as he returned the hug. "Come on, we need to get to the others." He said, gaining a nod from Lucy before the two of them got on to the speeder bike and began to drive off.
(Back at the Loud House)
The remainder of the Loud Family were huddled down in Lisa's bunker, Luna, Leni, and Lori all having weapons trained on the entrance, the oldest of the Loud's noticing the shaking of the rocker's hands.
"Luna, what the hell is going on?" Lori asked.
"I agree. You seem to have foreknowledge about this assault." Lisa noted with a curious look on her face.
Luna then let out a reluctant sigh before she opened her mouth to explain when suddenly the bunker began to shake before being ripped from the ground, sending them hurtling to the ground. The all then looked up in shock and fear as bunker door was ripped off to reveal Petro and a large squad of Troopers.
Luna quickly tried to shoot the Inquisitor only for him to catch the bullet with the Force and toss it back in to in to her shoulder. Petro then reached out both his and destroyed the guns before pulling Lily and two blonde girls, one in a pink gown and one in blue overalls before three of the troopers.
"Get away from them!" Lynn shouted out as she leapt a Petro only for him to use the Force to grab her by the throat before pulling the staves out of the hands of two of the Troopers and using them to shock Lynn in to unconsciousness.
"Deal with the rest. I have what I came for." Petro said as he and the Troopers holding the twins and Lily entered a nearby TIE Lander, Petro dragging Lynn behind him as she continued to here the pained singing and focused on the source of the noise, Petro's main lightsaber.
Luna got up while holding her arm, watching helplessly as four of her sisters were taken away. Suddenly, the Ghost and the Rogue Shadow came flying in, blasting the two remaining TIE Landers before the Phantom gave chase after Petro. Kanan, Sabine, and Zeb all jumped down to fight the Troopers just as Lincoln and Lucy arrived.
Sabine was quick to get between the remaining Louds and each Trooper holding a blaster, her Beskar protecting her as she shot them down. Zeb then jumped on one of the Troopers and stabbing them with his borifle before switching modes on it to provide cover the three Jedi as they moved about, cutting through the remaining Troopers before Lincoln turned and pushed the last Trooper to the ground before pulling a small object through their helmet.
"Zeb. Cuff 'em." Lincoln instructed before running over to Sabine and his shocked family. "Is everyone okay?" He asked the Madalorian.
"They're all shaken, but it looks like only Luna was hurt." Sabine said before the young Jedi nodded to her and went to kneel down to his third oldest sister..
"Here. Let me see." Lincoln said before Luna slowly moved her hand. Calling out with the Lincoln gently pulled the bulled out of the rocker's shoulder and then using the living Force around them to heal the wound.
"Thanks." Luna said before hugging her brother. The joy of their reunion was short lived however when Luna realized that four more of her siblings were now gone.
Sensing Luna's panic, Lincoln was quick to pull out his come and signal to the Phantom.
"Spector 6 to Spector 2. What's your status?" Lincoln asked.
"I was hit by an iron charge and they got away. I'm so sorry." Hera replied, feeling as though she had failed Lincoln.
"It's alright. Just get the Phantom back online and get down here. We need to come up with a plan." Lincoln said before they cut coms and he sighed with his head in his hands before he looked over the remainder of his family.
"L-Linky?" Leni asked with a shaking voice. Lincoln prepared to reply, but was cut off by his sisters tackling him in to a tearful hug.
"I've missed all of you too." Lincoln said in a relieved tone before returning to a more serious mood. "But for right now, we need to focus." He said before getting up and turning to Lucy. "Let's see if we can find out where the Inquisitor is taking the others.
"Good luck." Purge Troopers have been trained to resist any mind trick you can use on us." The Trooper gloated.
"Are you sure about that?" Lucy asked, holding her hand out as one of her hair moved to reveal one of her eyes. The Trooper then began to wince in pain.
Lucy suddenly found herself standing on the ground of a desert planet where the settlements stood in the walls of giant holes in the ground and one of the largest of which housed many troopers and a large black spire in the center.
Lucy then pulled back her arm while breathing heavily as the Trooper passed out. "They're going going to Utapau." She informed them before Lincoln looked up to see the Phantom coming in to land.
"Okay. Here's the plan. Lucy, Luna, get the others up to speed then get ready to go. Sabine will take you in the Rogue Shadow. Kanan, Hera, call everyone and get them to to the base. The time for hit and run tactics is over. It's time to go to war." He said, gaining nods all around.
"What are you going to do?" Kanan asked as his apprentice walked to the Phantom.
"If, we're going to gather the troops, I need to get something to rally them." Lincoln said before the door of the Phantom closed and it took off.
"So..." Rita began before walking up to Luna and Lucy and saying "I think you have something to tell us."
(Later)
"And that's about everything." Luna said, bringing the rest of the Louds up to date.
"Woah. That's crazy. To think the runt became that awesome." Lori said in awe of the tales of her brother's deeds.
"Yeah and now he needs our help. Are you in?" Lucy asked.
The remaining Louds all looked at each other, not a single one among them showing any doubt before Leni said, "Let's do this."
(With Lincoln)
The Phantom touched down next to a lake on the remote planet of Deralia. His eyes then met with those of the white Bat. The creature then led him to a steep hill. Sensing the truth hidden behind the hill, Lincoln called upon the Force to make part of the hill lower to the ground to reveal a wall with three star shaped keyholes on it.
Reaching in to his bag, Lincoln pulled out the ancient Holocrons and allowed them to float up, the corners maneuvering in a way to enter the keyholes before the door beneath them.
Lincoln then opened a small room where he saw what he had come for. The tests over and his worth proven, Lincoln beheld the image of a bearded man nodding to him and motioning in approval for the young Jedi to take the items. Nodding to the spirit, Lincoln walked to a small pedestal and picked up a silver and black lightsaber hilt with three spikes around the the emitter. He took a moment to ignite the amethyst blade, the weapon feeling as if it had always belonged in his hand.
After clipping the new saber to his hip, Lincoln reached out with the Force, the wind picking up around him, the near by lake beginning to swirl and crash, and the ground trembling before the transparasteel case in front of him shattered and to his hand came silver helmet with a black visor, red markings around the visor, forming a T shape, a dent on top of the right side and a burn resembling a cut over the left eye.
