Wolf Pack Nation. Lupe's home 9:25 PM.

Lupe had just returned from her search and came into the main hallway of her home. Lupe didn't have time to relax, when she heard two youthful voices.

"Mom! Mom! You're back!" Lupe's children, Marcos and Maria called as they rushed into their mother's arms. Lupe knelt down and hugged them back. When Lupe let go of them and stood up, her husband, Lobo came into the room.

"Welcome home dear." Lobo smiled as he embraced his wife.

"Thank you Lobo." Lupe said. She then looked at her children and said. "Alright you two, time for bed."

"But, I'm not (Yawn!) tired." Maria moaned.

"Neither am (Yawn!) I." Marcos moaned as well. Lupe smiled at her son.

"Now, now, off to bed, your father and i will tuck you in a minute." Lupe said.

"But moom..." Marcos whined, but Lupe cut him off.

"No buts young man." Lupe said sternly. "Bed. Now!"

Marcos gulped and went into his room, with Maria following him. Lobo went over to his wife.

"Did you find out what it was?" Lobo asked.

"Be specific." Lupe told her husband. Lobo cleared his throat.

"The object that nearly crashed into us." Lobo said.

"I'll tell you when we go to bed, but we should tuck the children in first." Lupe explained and Lobo nodded in agreement.

"Right, you take Marcos, and I'll take Maria." Lobo said.

Lupe nodded as she and Lobo went to tuck their children into bed.

Lobo and Lupe's bedroom 9:45 PM.

Lobo entered the bedroom, when he saw his wife lying on the bed while she gazed at the ceiling.

"Is something the matter?" Lobo asked as he sat on the edge of their bed.

"No, not really." Lupe said while she turned her gaze to look at her husband. "Just thinking..."

"About what?" Lobo asked.

"About what we found out there." Lupe explained. Lobo raised an eyebrow.

"I have been meaning to ask you that." Lobo stated. He then asked. "What did you find?"

Lupe sat up on the bed, and cleared her throat.

"It was some sort of spaceship, it was to advanced to be one of Eggman's technology." Lupe explained as she continued.

"Was there any pilot on that ship?" Lobo asked.

"That's what concerns me, Lobo." Lupe said.

"The pilot?" Lobo questioned. "It wasn't Tails, was it?"

"Oh, no, no, Lobo." Lupe assured as she cleared her throat and got ready to tell the news. "The pilot was an Overlander."

"What!?" Lobo replied shockingly, before he calmed down and asked her again. "Is the Overlander alright?"

"He'll make it, Diablo is taking care of him as we speak." Lupe explained.

"It is not that what concerns you, is it?" Lobo asked in a concerned tone.

Lupe frowned and looked down at the bed, which concerned her husband further.

"Lupe, what is it?" Lobo asked again.

Lupe sighted and told her husband, that the Overlander was in fact a teen, but to Lupe, he was a child.

"...And by the looks of his wounds, it looks like he had just been to war." Lupe explained. (Oh, Lupe you have no idea...)

"I see..." Lobo pondered. "Perhaps you should question him when he wakes up."

"I am planning on that." Lupe stated. "And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this mystery.

"I'm sure you will, Lupe." Lobo assured.

"But now i want some (Yawn!) sleep." Lupe said tiredly.

"That i understand." Lobo agreed. "Goodnight Lupe."

"Goodnight Lobo." Lupe responded.

The Wolf couple drifted off to sleep, while in each others arms.

Jedi Tempel 22 BBY.

*Flashback

In one of the sparring room's inside the tempel, we see a 15 year old blond haired human Padawan, train with his master in the art of lightsaber duel. The master instructed his Padawan to block high, then low, then high and middle, and the Padawan did so. The master turned off his blue lightsaber, and instructed his Padawan to do the same with his green lightsaber. The Jedi master was a Kel Dor race, wearing a brown Jedi uniform. The Kel Dor Jedi approached his Padawan.

"You are improving, Padawan Sean." Sean's master said.

"I'm doing my best, master Plo!" Sean beamed at his master, who was also known as Plo Koon.

"You are, but you still need to improve your footwork, if you are to master this form" Plo Koon instructed.

"Yes master." Sean responded.

"Let's go again. Ready position!" Plo Koon told Sean, as he got into his battle stance and ignited his lightsaber. Sean ignited his green lightsaber, and got into his own position.

"Ready?" Plo Koon asked, and Sean nodded before Plo Koon continued. "Then let's get started!"

Plo Koon opened the duel by slashing at Sean's left neck, but Sean blocked the slash with his lightsaber and counterattacked by swinging his lightsaber at his master's left leg, but Plo Koon leaped into the air to avoid impact. When Plo Koon landed on his feet, he proceeded with a slash at his Padawan's right neck, but Sean bent back to avoid getting hit by the lightsaber. Sean then tried to stab his master's chest, but Plo Koon countered by holding his lightsaber in a horizontal position. Plo Koon then pushed Sean away by his lightsaber and swung the Padawan's lightsaber out of his hands. Plo Koon turned off his lightsaber and approached his Padawan.

"Much better!" Plo Koon told Sean. "The only problem was the way you approached the duel, Padawan Sean."

"What do you mean by that?" Sean asked his master.

"I mean, you need to be more subtle in your approach." Plo Koon explained. "The footwork you use, when you sneak out of the tempel at night, you must use that in combat."

"You knew about that?" Sean asked, surprised.

"Yes, but we will deal with that later." Plo Koon dismissed as he continued. "My point is, what makes you special, what makes you, you, that's what you must use."

"Master Plo is right, i need to stop doing things completely by the book, i need to add a little bit of me into it." Sean thought as he looked up at his master. "Okay master, i understand."

"Then let's go again." Plo Koon told his Padawan as he got his lightsaber out and ignited it. "Ready position!"

Sean nodded and got his lightsaber, ignited it's green blade and got into his battle stance. "Ready!"

Sean approached his master differently this time, he moved like a dancing boxer with his lightsaber resting easily in his palm. Plo Koon looked confused with his Padawan's new approach, but decided to go with it. Plo Koon swung his lightsaber at Sean's chest, but Sean moved his upper body to avoid the lightsaber. Plo Koon tried the same thing again, but Sean moved out of the way before he tried to jab his lightsaber at his master. Plo Koon blocked the attempted counterattack from his Padawan. Plo Koon then tried to swing at Sean's chest, then at his legs, but Sean avoided those attacks moving his upper body and then leaped up to avoid getting his legs cut off. When Sean landed on his feet, he and Plo Koon entered a saber lock. Sean couldn't see it, but he knew his master was smiling behind his mouth piece at Sean's impressive performance. Plo Koon and Sean turned off their lightsabers, and Plo Koon approached his Padawan, before he placed a hand on Sean's shoulder.

"Most impressive my Padawan." Plo Koon said impressively. "Though, your style needs some improvements but otherwise, You're getting there."

"I got some advice from master Yoda before we started training." Sean said with pride.

"Which was?" Plo Koon asked.

"That i should take what i learn here, but make it my own." Sean explained.

"And that you have, Padawan Sean." Plo Koon said, as he and his Padawan headed out of the training room.

*End flashback.

Next day in the Wolf Pack Nation. Diablo's home 7:32 AM.

Inside Diablo's living room, The Overlander Sean Dontor was lying asleep on a madras that Diablo had made last night. Diablo was sleeping in his bed soundlessly, until he was woken up by...

"AAAHH! WHAT HAPPENED!?" Sean screamed as he rose up from his madras after he woke up. Diablo came rushing into the living room.

"What's the meaning of this!?" Diablo demanded before he saw the Overlander had woken up. Diablo relaxed after his startled reaction.

"I'm sorry if i woke you..." Sean apologized, but Diablo cut him off.

"Nevermind that." Diablo assured as he sat on the floor, before facing the teen. "And may i ask for your name kid?"

"The name is Sean, Sean Dontor." He responded.

"Well Sean you better get some breakfast, there are some fruit on the table so help yourself." Diablo told the teen.

"And what about you?" Sean asked.

"I'm gonna go tell the Chief, that you are awake." Diablo said as he turned to leave. "And as for your own safety, stay here!"

Sean looked dumbfounded as Diablo left the house to tell his Chief about the recent development, but Sean decided to not question the wolf's demand. Sean turned his attention to one of the metal boxes that Diablo and the others had taken with them. Sean got up and went over to get the box. He opened it and revealed itself to be a food box. Sean took some of the food from inside the box, and started eating it. After Sean had eaten some of the food, he looked at his surroundings.

"Now, where am i?" Sean thought. And how did i end up here?" He then remembered his droid friend. "And RB? Where's he at? Well, i can't dwell on that now, that droid knows how to survive."

Sean just sat alone on the madras, deep in thoughts over the events that he had been through, all the way from the Clone Wars, to the Clones betrayal that in fact didn't happen to him alone. During his time on the run, he learned that every Jedi were hunted down by the clones and the Empire. Sean thought that he could be the only survivor. He then saw his Jedi uniform folded on the table, along with the fruit bowl that his host had offered him.

"Well, i might as well get dressed." Sean sighted as he got his sand colored pants, brown boots, a light grey top and a brown belt. When Sean got dressed up, he decided to sit on the madras with his legs crossed, and meditate to clear his head. "I wonder if the Empire knows I'm here."

Inside the Grand Chiefs chamber 7:35 AM.

Lupe sat with her legs crossed as she read through some documents, when Diablo came in.

"What is it, Diablo?" Lupe questioned.

"Sorry for disturbing you Lupe, but the Overlander is awake!" Diablo explained.

"Was he any trouble for you at all my friend?" Lupe asked.

"Not at all." Diablo responded. "Only that he woke up, screaming." He then continued. "Wonder what that kid has been through."

Lupe thought the same thing. She knew that if she wanted to find out, she had to ask him herself.

"Diablo, i want you to bring him here in one hour!" Lupe instructed. "But for now let him be, I'm still waiting for Lyco and Leeta's report on the aircraft."

"Yes Lupe!" Diablo replied as he turned to leave Lupe's chamber.

Lupe continued with her paper works, when Lobo entered.

"I heard you were talking with Diablo, my dear." Lobo said as he sat next to his wife.

"He came and told me, that the Overlander is awake." Lupe explained, as she turned to her husband. "I told Diablo to go bring him here in one hour's time."

"So you can ask him what this is all about?" Lobo asked.

"Yes Lobo." Lupe responded. She then asked "By the way, are the children up yet?"

"Just Aerial and Athena." Lobo responded. "though Marcos and Maria are still in bed."

"I think you should let them sleep in today." Lupe told her husband. "They were up late last night."

"You're right, honey." Lobo agreed as he got up and turned to leave. "I'll leave you to your work."

"Alright, see you around Lobo." Lupe called.

And with that Lobo left the chamber, while Lupe resumed her paper work. She had many questions for and about the stranger, but she knew she would have them answered. All she needed was to play her cards right and some patience.
