CHAPTER 7
Jiles and his select group of Sith warriors, marched down the alien corridor with only one thing on their mind. Destruction, their guiding principle when it came to the Jedi. Jiles knew his disciples were up for the chance to face the Jedi in one on one combat, but not nearly as much as Jiles himself wanted too. Jilse had spent numerous hours, training with a lightsabre when he was an apprentice to the Master. He had defeated every holo-simulator, ten times over at the base on Duconar until his lightsabre was more apart of his body than the hands that wielded it. His five subordinates, were eager and skilled as well. For Jorex and Dorex Rellings especially, alone the two dark skinned twins were strong in the ways of the Dark side, but together no one was their equal. With the possible exception of Friodi, the green Rodian while not bad with a sabre, he is quite powerful in the ways of mental illusions and such. But Y'por Hak'ge could be considered an even match for Friodi, his ability to move and crush objects with the Force was something feared by even the highly skilled. Then there was Bretew, while he is an impeccable fighter, Jiles couldn't help but sense the worst of intentions in him. Despite his feelings for the Nitko, Jiles knew he would need him for this mission to be done, unflawed. The group of villainess warriors, made their way past the final hall leading to the open landing port, they halted at the hatch which would lead to the bridge of the port where the crew of the Everlasting awaited the return of her friends. Jiles faced the others giving them their final instructions. "There are three Jedi on that ship, they can sense us now. Jorex, Dorex, Y'por and Bretew. You four are to take care of those three, while I and Friodi are to handle the other two Jedi heading this way. Now go! For the Master!" Each of the four Sith sent to destroy the Jedi aboard the Everlasting, wielded their lightsabres in both hands, each hilt with its own unique dastardly design, was activated in a union of red blades. This symbolized the blood each weapon was meant to spill. Bretew, led the band of Sith out into the storm as Jiles and Friodi continued down the hall.
Chevacca could sense it, the Sith were coming, and they were in greater numbers this time. "Grem, Saliv ready your weapons!" and without any more words the three disciples of light, activated their swords then leapt of out the Everlasting's access ramp, before it could fully open itself. A great battle ensued. Chevacca at the lead, the Wookiee began to duel with the first sabre to meet his own, and that sabre belonged to a very familiar looking Nitko. Saliv all the while, was managing to hold off an attack from the identical duo, and Grem was putting his master's training to the test against a menacing looking Bothan. Chevacca parried an attempted slice at his arm, and that's when he realized who his opponent was. "Bretew?" His sabre intercepted another aggressive blow. "I was wondering when you would notice who I was! How is the life of a Master treating you Chevacca. Very well I hope?" Bretew attempted to diminish the soaked Wookies guard with his sarcasm, but Chevacca was a Jedi master for a reason. "Much better than you had ever hoped, traitor!" Chevacca swiped his blade down to the left in a failed attempt to slash his old friend's chest. "You still haven't let that go have you, let it go Chevacca. How long has it been? Twenty five, twenty six." The Jedi swiped again at his opponent's blatant show of ignorance." "Twenty nine!" the Master's roar was louder than the thought he implanted in Bretew's head, even louder than the thunder that went off around them, which regrettably didn't send the horned one over the edge of the platform. "Well its nice to see some ones keeping track of the time." Bretew snapped as he began strike back. Each blow building up to his next, insulting comment. "By the way Chevacca, how's your arm feeling?" The Jedi master didn't bother to respond. He instead repressed, anger and focused on the true battle, not 'Chevacca versus Bretew', but the battle of the light versus the dark. Saliv would have been confused, if without the assistance of the Force. He could hardly tell if he were fighting two identical Sith or one incredibly quick warrior. Luckily for the bald Jedi master, their moves were predictable, when one of the dark fleshed twins parried, the other would slash. a block, then swipe. A plunge, then strike from above and so on and so on. Needless to say he could admire the practice needed to perform such tricks, but that's all they were to Master Romdel. Tricks led by the Dark side. His speed and focus on the Force would be his ally in this match. He managed to lift his sabre into a lock with his twin combatants, then while they were focused on trying to break the bind that Master Saliv fooled them into. He slipped into the shadows, using his Jedi mind powers to make him seem invisible to their untrained minds. Grem was equally busy handling his own duel. Not only could he sense the immense rage in the Bothan, but he could also smell the horrible scent created by his wet fur as the Sith attempted to cut him down. "Hmmm. What makes you think you stand a chance against me boy!" He tried to slice Grem's tall resonating chamber, but was blocked with a back handed blow of his blue sabre. "Grrr. You can't win this, I'm to powerful for you to comprehend as a Jedi, but you can find out for yourself." He causally swiped away another of the Padawan's swipes so he could hear his offer. "All you have to do is join me, and follow my Master. Then you can understand what it means to wield true power." Grem returned his proposal with a slash to his enemy's abdomen, which became locked with Y'por's blade. "Never!" he grouched. "Then Young one, you will die on this dreadful water planet!" The furry Jedi pushed the Vurk into the air with a blast of pure hate. Only for Grem to do a back flip and land firmly on his feet, despite the slippery surface caused by the endless downpour, and he took a moment before returning to his match. Water, that's it! The tall reptilian apprentice took a moment to realize that he and the Bothan, were fighting on a smaller adjoining port connected to the main landing platform where the Everlasting lie awaiting still in the cold wind storm. He noticed that the ships aft proton array, was almost pointing directly at the small wing. If I could just.wait got it! Grem reached out with the force into the Everlasting's bridge and accessed the ship's weapons, with the off chance that the array was actually targeting the wing, or its power level setting. He used his mind to press the fire panel key, and a great burst of protons launched into, and completely destroyed the floor underneath him and his opponent. Sending both into the crashing waves below, just as he planned.
Jiles and Friodi, made their way calmly down the hall, its bright lights, blinding the marble eyed Rodian, he paced behind the pale human following his lead. "I can sense them Friodi, they are close!" "Well seeing is much different than believing isn't it Jiles" Jiles wasn't going to even bother with Friodi's unusual sense of humor at this time, he was too focused on finding the Jedi. Then they found a large round door at the end of a white hallway. Jiles pointed out that it must be some kind of lift, due to the level indicator on the panel next to the hatch, and it was getting closer. The duo, reached for their sabre's then ignited their red blades waiting for their prey to enter the trap. The level indicator finally signaled that the lift had made it to their level. Friodi without moving from his position used the force push the panel to open the lift's hatch. The door finally hissed open as the Sith tightly grasped their weapons, only to discover that the lift was empty. "Empty?" Friodi comment in his alien voice. The green one then proceeded to walk into the small vessel, his dark round eyes carefully examined the tiny room, as a tint of red hue reflected on its walls from his sabre. Then he saw it, a small device mounted into the wall, it was alien to the rest of its surrounding. A grav. Detonator! The Rodian took a great leap from the lift, pushing the panel to close the hatch with the Force once more as the bomb detonated behind him as he knocked Jiles to the floor. The blast gave Yoda, Dorshe' and R2 the distraction they needed to jump down from the shaft just above the hallway closest to the lift tube. Using her powerful Orveasian strength, Dorshe' leaned down and grabbed the astromech with both her hands, and hoisted the droid over her head not wanting to wait for R2 to wheel around the unconscious Sith. She began to run for the Everlasting as Yoda followed behind her, using their powers of the Force it did not take them long to reach the exit-hatch for the landing port. Having sneaked a peek out the window as they passed to the door, Skywalker unlatched his lightsabre to help his colleagues locked in battle outside in the treacherous weather. Dorshe' also realizing her friends were in need dropped R2 to the ground and raised her blade as well. The somber droid brought himself to his feet as Masters Skywalker and Dorshe' ran to aid their fellow Jedi, then proceeded to follow into the fray. As they ran down what seemed like an endless bridge, Dorshe' ignited her crystal white sabre and set her sights on the Nitko that was viciously attacking Chevacca, she ran even faster to his aid. While Yoda noticed two astonishingly similar men bearing red lightsabres, searching underneath the everlasting, realizing, that Saliv is playing his dangerous version of hide-'n'-seek with the twin duo. "R2 head for the ship and, send a distress signal on all republic channels, inform them of our situation!" The astromech sprouted his antigravity amplifiers and flew to the open hatch of the Everlasting in compliance to his Master's demands. The droid fought against the savage natural elements but he did make a quite smooth landing in front of the ship's access ramp, despite the harsh conditions. As Master Skywalker came running to confront the identical Sith solders, R2 made his way up the ramp to secure the ship. "Excuse me may I cut in?" the Blonde Jedi remarked slyly to his new combatants. The twins of evil gave no verbal response they just pounced on the Jedi master. Yoda rather slash his sabre at the duo, used his abilities to force the Sith warriors land off balance, falling directly on to their backs. This gave Saliv the window he hoped for, he jumped from the shadows as Skywalker also leapt above the fallen Sith readying both their lightsabres to strike down on the Jorex and Dorex. But the Sith quickly hopped to their feet sending the Jedi's sabres piercing through the wet flooring of the platform. Now the odds are evened! Saliv thought. Dorshe' did her best to join the fight between Chevacca and the alien Sith, all she could really do was block a few swipes when her Wookiee companion was blindsided by dirty tricks on the Nitko's behalf. Dorshe' sensed that Chevacca knew his opponent, an this was a very personal dispute for the usually neutral Jedi Master, She more or less was no more apart of this duel as any of the others Jedi and Sith alike. But little did any of them know, that deep below them under the surface of the crashing waves.
Y'por was practically immobile underneath the water while he could not swim to the surface do to his thick fur and the raging waves. He could hold his breathe for more than an hour, due to his additional lung space compared to those of most other species. He had lost his lightsabre in the fall from the platform, so all he had to do was find the Jedi student and finish him off with his bare hands, or so he thought. What Y'por didn't know about this Jedi, is that he is a Vurk, and Vurks are more at home in the sea than they are on drive land. He also didn't know that the Jedi order had recently developed a new hydronic amplifier, to be installed in all their member's lightsabres so that they could work under water, and Grem had made such an upgrade to his weapon, just prior to this mission. The Padawan moved with the water, as if he were part of the great ocean itself, than as soon as he set his sights on the Bothan, he gained speed for he knew he would only get one chance to strike unnoticed. I hope it works? The blue reptilian thought to himself as he activated his sabre, the blade rose amidst the water. It created a wake of boiling H20 around the shaft of light. I think its working. He extended his blade out with his right as his body flung in a rhythmic motion that projected himself through the ocean. Y'por didn't even know what hit him, all he saw before his world went dim was this great blue light go through him. Literally! Grem looked back as he noticed the grizzly Sith warrior was now in two. It works! Grem now assured of his technical skills, tried his hardest to build speed once more as he sensed the battle above him, he knew he was needed.
Saliv and Yoda paired off as they fenced against the fierce Jorex and Dorex. They even went so far as to show off their mastery of the sabre to the Sith duo, by trading off opponents with one anther to try and keep them on their toes. These two are quite predictable! Saliv exclaimed to Yoda through the bonds of the Force. Your right Saliv, I have an Idea follow my lead. Then using the force two Jedi synchronized their moves. Saliv parried Dorex's blow to his abdomen then locked his red blade to the master's yellow sword. Yoda blocked and parried until he backed Jorex to the left of his brother, then locked up his green blade with Jorex's. The two masters eyed each other in a confirming manner, then used the strength they summoned from the Force to overpower the Twin's locks on their own blades into locking all four blades together. Intertwining the weapons in a spectacle of green , yellow and red lights. Then when the Sith least expected it, Master Romdel and Master Skywalker kicked Dorex and Jorex directly in their faces knocking them to the drenched steel under their feet. As they were dazed by the dirty trick, the Jedi Masters entered their minds and implanted their own image on both of the Twins. When Jorex opened his eyes all he saw was Master Yoda lying beside him, slowly waking himself Dorex noticed Master Romdel next to him on the steel floor. The two raised their lightsabres and ran them through their own brother's chest. Never realizing that they killed their own blood. The two Jedi Master's simply stood over their unfortunate corpses. "They were young!" Saliv murmured in sorrow for the youthful lives he had to take. Killing was never easy for Master Romdel, it was only at times a necessity, and even that never stopped him from doing his duty. "They were also Sith! If we didn't kill them, they would have killed us and who knows how many other lives they would have taken after that?" that's when they sensed it, two more dark beings heading their way. While Saliv was unaware who they were, Yoda knew who it was. Jiles and Friodi had woken from their unconscious state the grav. detonator had put them into. Jiles and his Rodian cohort had just as soon stepped out into the storm when the two Jedi Masters charged with their snares ready to confront the still somewhat dazed Sith. Friodi and Jiles saw the green and yellow shafts of light heading in their direction through the storm, and they headed straight for the Jedi masters and yet another battle arose on the bridge connecting Tipoca city to the landing port. Saliv and Friodi squared off, Saliv more impressed with his new opponents choice of tactics. Jiles and Yoda went at each other with swords swinging, Skywalker noted the pasty human's strength with the sabre after a couple failed slashes for his head. He parried off his enemy, "your quite good!..." he gritted his teeth, ".For a Sith that is!" Jiles took the moment to notice that he couldn't sense neither Jorex's or Dorex's presence. "You killed them!" he remarked as if they didn't exist to begin with, like a truth agent of evil., then took another failed slash for Skywalker's legs. "I did what I had to do!" Yoda returned along with a stab for Jiles's stomach. ".and I will do it again if I must!" and the Sith's attack grew stronger on the Jedi.
Chevacca had his paws full with Bretew. They had it not been for Master Oden's help. The two blood enemies would still be stuck in their first sabre lock. But Chevacca had a great advantage over the Nitko, and that wasn't Master Oden, It was his faith in the light. Dorshe' I have a plan! The Orveasian woman was busy blocking off a parry but she realized what the Wookiee had in mind. I understand. She communed through their bond in the Force. Dorshe' backed off to the right, away from the duel, and using a combination of the Force and her people's natural attunement to nature. She reached out to the storms all around her, it was not the connection or the implement that would matter for this idea to work, but instead the timing would play a key role. Dorshe' waited for the right moment, then."Now Chevacca!" She yelled. The sound of her voice shouting, distracted Bretew long enough for Chevacca to take a swipe of his violet blade through the Sith's right side. Then the Jedi kicked him away, as a large bolt of lighting summoned by Master Oden, shot down at Bretew sending him flying onto the Bridge. Yoda could hear the force telling him to move, why? He didn't know but he wasn't going to start deafening himself to the Force now. With a single back hand swipe Master Skywalker pushed himself off of Jiles's crimson blade and ducked out of Bretew's path, as the Nitko crashed into Jiles, sending the two sliding down the bridge on its wet surface. Yoda then noticed that the Rodian Sith had Master Romdel in an invisible force hold, suspended over the edge of the Bridge. Master Skywalker attempted to run the spiky headed Sith through, but he still managed to wield his sabre and contain Saliv at the same time. Then the Jedi sensed it, they could feel it coming at them like a Neutron torpedo. That's when Grem shot himself out from the great waves below; he had used his amphibious traits to gain just enough speed to leap back onto the bridge above. As he ascended, Grem saw his master suspended over the bridge and with his free hand he grabbed his master from the hold of Friodi's spell. With his lightsabre raised as he descended, the young Padawan cut the Rodian from shoulder to thigh, the two Jedi master could only stand there and watch the Sith's two halves fall into the monstrous waves below "It does me good to see you well Padawan!" Saliv's eyes still pearing down at the water. "And I you Master." The Vurk panted. Skywalker's focus now diverted to the two remaining Sith, he began to head toward the once again dazed Jiles as Masters Chevacca and Oden joined Romdel and his apprentice. Jiles throwing Bretew off to the side began to walk in Skywalker's direction, but they were both cut off by a large black shuttle hovering just over the bridge between the Sith and the Jedi. Then the dark shuttle fired at the Jedi, Master Skywalker urged for the others to head into the Everlasting as he himself led them away from bombardment. Jiles knew the Ship as one of the shuttles his Sith destroyer carried, and walked up to the hatch that floated before him. It opened to reveal a familiar face, it was Lt. Owens. "Sir we must be leaving. There is a fleet of Jedi Battleships heading in our direction." With this said Jiles unwillingly picked Bretew over his shoulder and dragged him into the Ship. "Hail the ship!" Jiles shouted as he resumed command of his mission. "Tell the bridge as soon as we land in the shuttle bay to head for Duconar!" and the black vessel disappeared into the storm only to return to an angry Master.
The Jedi watched as the Sith's transport flew off into the thundering clouds of Kamino's sky, safely in the Everlasting's Bridge. When they realized the battle had past, each one of the soldiers of good, took a deep breathe. "Well, needless to say." Master Oden injected in the moment of rest. ".I believe our investigation of a possible Sith resurgence has unfortunately been confirmed." "Did you find out where we are?" Master Romdel added. "Yes" Master Skywalker remarked. "We are on a planet called Kamino, and that city is called Tipoca." He pointed to the colony outside the ship. "We also discovered something quite astounding." Dorshe' continued for Yoda. "Underneath the city there is an entire level, full of clones from the Old republic?" "Clones?" "Yes Chevacca Clones, Replicas of ancient Senators, Representatives and Dignitaries." "Just what the Galaxy needs!" Saliv interrupted. "More politicians!" "Not just politicians Master Romdel but Jedi as well!" This brought a look of utter surprise to the room, Skywalker smirked at his colleagues disbelief as Dorshe' continued to explain. "There are more than seventeen thousand clones down there, most of them are Jedi." "How?" Grem questioned as he tried to knock the water from the crest in his skull. "Long story short about two thousand years ago during the Galactic Civil Wa." Dorshe' was cut off by the sound of the previously unnoticed R2 hooting for alert. "What is it R2?" Master Skywalker queried his family astromech. The droid then made his associates aware of the comm. console, it was blinking. Chevacca looked down at the panel, and then turned to his fellow Jedi. "The Fleet has arrived!" Master Skywalker and Master Oden were caught off guard. "Fleet?"
Jiles and his select group of Sith warriors, marched down the alien corridor with only one thing on their mind. Destruction, their guiding principle when it came to the Jedi. Jiles knew his disciples were up for the chance to face the Jedi in one on one combat, but not nearly as much as Jiles himself wanted too.

I hope it works? The blue reptilian thought to himself as he activated his sabre, the blade rose amidst the water. It created a wake of boiling H20 around the shaft of light. I think its working. He extended his blade out with his right as his body flung in a rhythmic motion that projected himself through the ocean. Y'por didn't even know what hit him, all he saw before his world went dim was this great blue light go through him. Literally! Grem looked back as he noticed the grizzly Sith warrior was now in two. It works! Grem now assured of his technical skills, tried his hardest to build speed once more as he sensed the battle above him, he knew he was needed.
Saliv and Yoda paired off as they fenced against the fierce Jorex and Dorex. They even went so far as to show off their mastery of the sabre to the Sith duo, by trading off opponents with one anther to try and keep them on their toes. These two are quite predictable! Saliv exclaimed to Yoda through the bonds of the Force. Your right Saliv, I have an Idea follow my lead. Then using the force two Jedi synchronized their moves. Saliv parried Dorex's blow to his abdomen then locked his red blade to the master's yellow sword. Yoda blocked and parried until he backed Jorex to the left of his brother, then locked up his green blade with Jorex's. The two masters eyed each other in a confirming manner, then used the strength they summoned from the Force to overpower the Twin's locks on their own blades into locking all four blades together. Intertwining the weapons in a spectacle of green , yellow and red lights. Then when the Sith least expected it, Master Romdel and Master Skywalker kicked Dorex and Jorex directly in their faces knocking them to the drenched steel under their feet. As they were dazed by the dirty trick, the Jedi Masters entered their minds and implanted their own image on both of the Twins. When Jorex opened his eyes all he saw was Master Yoda lying beside him, slowly waking himself Dorex noticed Master Romdel next to him on the steel floor. The two raised their lightsabres and ran them through their own brother's chest. Never realizing that they killed their own blood. The two Jedi Master's simply stood over their unfortunate corpses. "They were young!" Saliv murmured in sorrow for the youthful lives he had to take. Killing was never easy for Master Romdel, it was only at times a necessity, and even that never stopped him from doing his duty. "They were also Sith! If we didn't kill them, they would have killed us and who knows how many other lives they would have taken after that?" that's when they sensed it, two more dark beings heading their way. While Saliv was unaware who they were, Yoda knew who it was. Jiles and Friodi had woken from their unconscious state the grav. detonator had put them into. Jiles and his Rodian cohort had just as soon stepped out into the storm when the two Jedi Masters charged with their snares ready to confront the still somewhat dazed Sith. Friodi and Jiles saw the green and yellow shafts of light heading in their direction through the storm, and they headed straight for the Jedi masters and yet another battle arose on the bridge connecting Tipoca city to the landing port. Saliv and Friodi squared off, Saliv more impressed with his new opponents choice of tactics. Jiles and Yoda went at each other with swords swinging, Skywalker noted the pasty human's strength with the sabre after a couple failed slashes for his head. He parried off his enemy, "your quite good!..." he gritted his teeth, ".For a Sith that is!" Jiles took the moment to notice that he couldn't sense neither Jorex's or Dorex's presence. "You killed them!" he remarked as if they didn't exist to begin with, like a truth agent of evil., then took another failed slash for Skywalker's legs. "I did what I had to do!" Yoda returned along with a stab for Jiles's stomach. ".and I will do it again if I must!" and the Sith's attack grew stronger on the Jedi.
Chevacca had his paws full with Bretew. They had it not been for Master Oden's help. The two blood enemies would still be stuck in their first sabre lock. But Chevacca had a great advantage over the Nitko, and that wasn't Master Oden, It was his faith in the light. Dorshe' I have a plan! The Orveasian woman was busy blocking off a parry but she realized what the Wookiee had in mind. I understand. She communed through their bond in the Force. Dorshe' backed off to the right, away from the duel, and using a combination of the Force and her people's natural attunement to nature. She reached out to the storms all around her, it was not the connection or the implement that would matter for this idea to work, but instead the timing would play a key role. Dorshe' waited for the right moment, then."Now Chevacca!" She yelled. The sound of her voice shouting, distracted Bretew long enough for Chevacca to take a swipe of his violet blade through the Sith's right side. Then the Jedi kicked him away, as a large bolt of lighting summoned by Master Oden, shot down at Bretew sending him flying onto the Bridge. Yoda could hear the force telling him to move, why? He didn't know but he wasn't going to start deafening himself to the Force now. With a single back hand swipe Master Skywalker pushed himself off of Jiles's crimson blade and ducked out of Bretew's path, as the Nitko crashed into Jiles, sending the two sliding down the bridge on its wet surface. Yoda then noticed that the Rodian Sith had Master Romdel in an invisible force hold, suspended over the edge of the Bridge. Master Skywalker attempted to run the spiky headed Sith through, but he still managed to wield his sabre and contain Saliv at the same time. Then the Jedi sensed it, they could feel it coming at them like a Neutron torpedo. That's when Grem shot himself out from the great waves below; he had used his amphibious traits to gain just enough speed to leap back onto the bridge above. As he ascended, Grem saw his master suspended over the bridge and with his free hand he grabbed his master from the hold of Friodi's spell. With his lightsabre raised as he descended, the young Padawan cut the Rodian from shoulder to thigh, the two Jedi master could only stand there and watch the Sith's two halves fall into the monstrous waves below "It does me good to see you well Padawan!" Saliv's eyes still pearing down at the water. "And I you Master." The Vurk panted. Skywalker's focus now diverted to the two remaining Sith, he began to head toward the once again dazed Jiles as Masters Chevacca and Oden joined Romdel and his apprentice. Jiles throwing Bretew off to the side began to walk in Skywalker's direction, but they were both cut off by a large black shuttle hovering just over the bridge between the Sith and the Jedi. Then the dark shuttle fired at the Jedi, Master Skywalker urged for the others to head into the Everlasting as he himself led them away from bombardment. Jiles knew the Ship as one of the shuttles his Sith destroyer carried, and walked up to the hatch that floated before him. It opened to reveal a familiar face, it was Lt. Owens. "Sir we must be leaving. There is a fleet of Jedi Battleships heading in our direction." With this said Jiles unwillingly picked Bretew over his shoulder and dragged him into the Ship. "Hail the ship!" Jiles shouted as he resumed command of his mission. "Tell the bridge as soon as we land in the shuttle bay to head for Duconar!" and the black vessel disappeared into the storm only to return to an angry Master.
The Jedi watched as the Sith's transport flew off into the thundering clouds of Kamino's sky, safely in the Everlasting's Bridge. When they realized the battle had past, each one of the soldiers of good, took a deep breathe. "Well, needless to say." Master Oden injected in the moment of rest. ".I believe our investigation of a possible Sith resurgence has unfortunately been confirmed." "Did you find out where we are?" Master Romdel added. "Yes" Master Skywalker remarked. "We are on a planet called Kamino, and that city is called Tipoca." He pointed to the colony outside the ship. "We also discovered something quite astounding." Dorshe' continued for Yoda. "Underneath the city there is an entire level, full of clones from the Old republic?" "Clones?" "Yes Chevacca Clones, Replicas of ancient Senators, Representatives and Dignitaries." "Just what the Galaxy needs!" Saliv interrupted. "More politicians!" "Not just politicians Master Romdel but Jedi as well!" This brought a look of utter surprise to the room, Skywalker smirked at his colleagues disbelief as Dorshe' continued to explain. "There are more than seventeen thousand clones down there, most of them are Jedi." "How?" Grem questioned as he tried to knock the water from the crest in his skull. "Long story short about two thousand years ago during the Galactic Civil Wa." Dorshe' was cut off by the sound of the previously unnoticed R2 hooting for alert. "What is it R2?" Master Skywalker queried his family astromech. The droid then made his associates aware of the comm. console, it was blinking. Chevacca looked down at the panel, and then turned to his fellow Jedi. "The Fleet has arrived!" Master Skywalker and Master Oden were caught off guard. "Fleet?"
