Chapter 4: New friendship
The republic gunship that had transported master Yoda landed in the main hangar bay of the republic warship. The door slid open and Yoda jumped out. A clone commander in a phase I, outfit that was decorated with purple speeded towards the jedi master.
'Are you allright, master Yoda?' asked the clone. 'Worry so much, you don't have to, Commander Cunning.' the clone nodded in relief and Yoda continued: 'Care for the two young jedi, you have to.' commander Cunning nodded and assigned two medics for the task.
'Master Yoda, will you come with me?' asked Cunning and Yoda nodded, the clone kneeled down and Yoda hopped onto his back. Yoda and Cunning arrived at the control room of the warship and Yoda was greeted by Mace Windu. Yoda hopped into a seat and turned around,
so that he faced towards his fellow council member. 'Master Yoda, a group of Darth Maul clones was spotted on Tatooine and they slaughtered a complete attack battalion, that was made out of three-hundred clones, what are your orders?' Yoda buried his face in his hands,
as a sign that he was thinking. 'Send as many jedi to this system as possible.' concluded the old jedi master. 'It will be done, sir.' said commander Cunning and he sended out a message.
Back in the correlia system...
Han Solo flew into space in his new ship, he had decided that he would use the neimoidian that he found on board as a prisoner which who would only release when he received a fair amount of credits. Han pushed a handle forwards and the ship blasted into hyperspace,
towards the planet known as: Cato neimoidia.
At Cato neimoidia...
Obi-wan Kenobi's starship blasted out of hyperspace and arrived at Cato neimoidia at exactly the same time as Han Solo, Obi-wan tried to evade Solo's ship, but it was to late and the ships collided. Obi-wan was hurtled against the windscreen and he was knocked out by the force of
the impact. Han had to do a lot effort to prevent himself from crashing into a republic gunship. The gunship identified the ship as a separtist and opened fire, Han shouted in fear when he saw the laser fire coming towards him and he made a evasive manouvre. He
accidently pushed a red button and a salvo of red laser fire flew towards the gunship and made it spin out of control and almost sended it crashing into the warship. The warship fired one of it's cannons and the neimoidian ship's engines where destroyed. 'Give up separtist!' sounded
from the commlink. Han grabbed microfone and said: 'I accidently fired at you, I am with the republic!' There was a short silence. 'Give your code.' replied the voice from the commlink.
'My code is, wait a minute...' Han didn't know what to do, he could not run and he did not
know any code, Han opened a closet and found a notition book. He looked at it and it said:
'Republic communication codes.' Han let out a sigh of relief, his luck had never let him down. 'The code is Alpha/128.9Beta.' said Han. 'That is a old code, we are going to pull your
ship towards ours with a tractor beam, we will not hesitate to shoot when you try to put up a fight.' replied the voice and the warship started to pull the neimoidian ship with it's tractor beam, Han stood up and pulled the uncounsious Gunray out his seat, he dragged him towards
the door and waited until the ship was pulled into the hangar bay, there was a sound of metal clashing and the door was opened by a clone trooper. The clone trooper aimed his rifle at the young Corellian and Han pushed Gunray out of the wreckage. 'That can't be!' shouted Kit
Fisto and he bowed over the uncouncious body of the viceroy. 'This is Gunray, leader of the separtist forces!' the clone trooper grabbed Han at his arm and pulled him out of the ship, the strenght of the clone surprised Han and he fell onto his face, pouring blood all over the metal
floor. 'Did really have to be that-' said Han but his line was cut off because Kit Fisto pulled him of the ground with equal strenght as the clone. 'How did you capture this man?' asked Kit and he lifted the boy up, to his face height. 'Uhh, I chased him on a speeder bike?' lied
Han. 'Don't tell lies boy!' replied Kit and putted the boy down. 'Okay, so I found his ship, but I do earn some money, now don't I?' Kit shook his head. 'Money, what did you think, that there was a prize on his head?' Han lifted his shoulders up. 'Come with me, you have to be
save for the upcoming battle.' said Kit but Han didn't walk with him. 'A battle? I can fight!' said the boy enthousiast. 'Master Yoda will decide.' said Kit and the clone pushed the boy forwards. 'Yeah, yeah, I get the point.' said Han and he followed Kit. Han, Kit and the clone
arrived at the control, the room was scattered with jedi and clones, some busy discussing battle plans with each other. 'Ah, master Fisto, expecting you we were.' said Yoda and Kit nodded. 'This boy wants to join us in battle, and I have to admit that he is a good pilot.' said
Kit. 'To young he is, not ready for the horrors of the battlefield.' replied Yoda. 'But I'm not afraid to see blood or something like that-' said Han and he was pushed forwards by the clone again. 'Okay, now your playing it dangerous, mr. what ever your name is!' shouted Han
pointing an accusing finger at the clone. 'BP-17-,' began te clone but Han cut him off. 'And I presume that BP is for bantha poodoo?' The clone laughed and han continued: 'Okay mr. Bantha Poodoo.' 'You see, the boy is to foolish, we can't let him carry the responsibilty of
being a warrior.' said Mace. Han sighed and said: 'I owe you something, I brought that gunray punk in here!' said Han. 'What did he say?' asked Mace Windu. The door slid open and a frightened Gunray walked into the room, being pushed by Quinlan Vos, and Obi-wan,
Kolin and a healed Anakin. 'Please, don't kill me!' shouted Gunray in fear. 'Commander Cunning, bring him to a hold.' commanded Windu and the clone commander nodded, the commander walked towards the former separtist leader and aimed his blaster pistol at him.
'Move.' snapped the commander and the neimoidian nodded cowardly walking out in front of the clone. 'You have a point, you may join the clones in battle, but note that your life will be at risk.' said Windu, Solo nodded and sighed out of relief. 'You are now a member of the
great army of the republic, congratiulations.' said a ARC commander. 'Thanks, do I have to wear a armor now?' asked Han. 'No, you are not a clone, and any one that isn't a clone in the army automatically get's the rank of captain, that means that I am the only of the clones that can give you orders.' said the ARC trooper. 'The clone is right.' said Zao who stumbled in
with a gun wound on his leg. 'Master Zao! what has happened to you?' asked Master Windu.
'I was attacked by two dark beings on Tatooine, and I was stabbed in my thigh, but luckily they left me for dead when I was uncouncsious.' replied the blind Jedi master.
