After Adora and Cy explained everything to each other, they decided to head back to the crash site. Cy wanted to tell them why they crashed but decided not too.
Hunter: So what planet is this anyway?
Bow: Etheria.
Wrecker: Etheria? Never heard of it.
Cameron: Must be in the far Outer Rim past the Republic's jurisdiction.
Cy: Maybe. So how long has this war been going on?
Glimmer: Nearly 30 years.
Wrecker: Damn that's a long time.
Hunter: To be fair the Clone Wars felt like it lasted for decades.
Cameron: Ain't that the truth...
Adora, Bow, and Glimmer just looked confused.
Bow: Clone Wars?
Cy: The galaxy wide war between the Separatists and the Republic.
Adora: Separatists? Republic?
Wrecker: The clanker army?
Hunter: The war throughout the galaxy?
Glimmer: Never heard of it.
Adora: Wait why is it called the Clone Wars?
The clones look at each other.
Cameron: We best show them.
Hunter: Alright.
Clones took off their helmets showing that they looked near identical.
Cameron: We may not look exactly same but we are clones.
Bow: Wow...you guys are actual clones...awesome!
Hunter: Well Cameron looks more like the original template, but then again most Regs do.
Glimmer: I thought it was just us. We never knew there were other worlds out there.
Adora: Yeah. This is all crazy.
Cy: Well it seems this world isn't registered by the Republic and by some miracle, we managed to land here by chance. The Force certainly works in mysterious ways.
Bow: The Force?
Cy: The Force is what gives a Jedi, me, their power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the universe together. At least that is what I was told as a kid.
Glimmer: Awesome.
Adora: Wait, there are more Jedi like you?
Cy stopped and looked down, closing his eyes.
Cy: Maybe...
Cy kept walking leaving Adora feeling like she upset him.
Adora: Maybe? What does that mean?
Cameron: It's been a rough couple of hours for us.
Hunter: Rough isn't the word I use.
Wrecker: More like...chaotic.
Glimmer: Why's that?
Cameron: We'll explain everything once we get to the ship. Hopefully Tech and Echo have made some progress.
After a while, Crosshair was outside, with his rifle, guarding the ship. He notices movement ahead of him and uses his scope to see what it was. He sees Cy and the others heading back to them. He also noticed the new people as well.
Crosshair: Looks like we got company.
Cy and the others arrive at the wreckage. There are many weapons crates and armor everywhere. Bow and Glimmer are in awe.
Bow: Wow, an actual spaceship!
Glimmer: Never thought I see one.
Crosshair walks up to Cy and notices Adora.
Crosshair: This your new girlfriend, Commander?
Adora blushed while Cy eyes widened. Cameron and Wrecker laughed along with Bow and Glimmer.
Cy: What?! No! She's just helping us!
Crosshair: Hehehe...I'm just messing.
Adora: The name's Adora and these our my friends Glimmer and Bow.
Crosshair: I'm Crosshair.
Cy: Anyways any update yet?
Crosshair: We managed to gather up supplies and weapons we had on board. Other than that not much else.
Suddenly, a droid comes outside.
Cy: R3?!
The droid rushes over to Cy and beeps rapidly.
Cy: Good to see you too, buddy! I thought you were with Master Secura on Felucia.
Hunter: Oh yeah, I forgot we grabbed him and threw him in storage.
Cy: Thanks for that.
Wrecker: He was freaking out when we grabbed him, so we turned him off.
Cameron: Well he could come in handy later.
Bow: This is a robot?
Cy: He's my astromech, R3-S1.
R3 beeps.
Adora: Uh what?
Cy: He says hello.
Glimmer: You can understand him?
Cy: Of course.
Echo: Ah Commander, good to see you made it back.
Echo and Tech stand at the doors of the ship.
Tech: Greetings.
Glimmer: Hello.
Bow: More clones...awesome!
Hunter: Any updates, Tech?
Tech: A few actually.
Cameron: Anything good?
Echo: Maybe.
Tech: Also yes and no.
Cy: Well what's the good news?
Echo: The ship is operational and we still use communications and more but...
Tech: The ship is too badly damaged to fly.
Cameron: Great, looks like we're stuck.
Tech: We could make repairs if we had the right parts but even if we did it takes months to completely fix the ship.
Cy: Well that isn't good.
Adora: Maybe we can help.
Crosshair: How? Unless you all have a new ship, then you can't.
Glimmer: We don't but maybe Princess Entrapta can help, she knows machines and stuff like this better than anyone here.
Hunter: Then I think it would be best if we met her.
Cameron: Agreed.
Bow: We should head for Brightmoon. You guys can rest there and can meet the Queen too.
Cy: Queen?
Glimmer: My mother, she probably would love to meet you guys.
Cameron: Sounds like a plan.
Wrecker: Yeah plus I'm starving.
Adora: Don't worry big guy, we'll make sure you're well fed.
Wrecker: Hope you got plenty of food.
R3 beeps to Cy.
Cy: You're right, buddy. It's worth a shot.
Cameron: What is sir?
Cy: I'm gonna check if there are any transmissions from any Jedi. Maybe some survived the attack.
Glimmer: Attack?
Adora: Did something happen?
Cy: Yes...
Tech: Be sure to encrypt the transmissions, we don't want anyone tracking them.
Cy: Will do. Come on R3.
Cy and R3 head inside the ship. Adora walks up to Cameron.
Adora: So what actually happened to you guys?
Cameron(deep breath) Our fellow clones turned on us. Well on the Jedi, to be exact. It was like they had no control of themselves. One minute we were enjoying ourselves and about to engage the enemy, then the next thing we know...they were trying to kill us. My own brothers, and the worst part of it is...that Cy's master was killed.
Adora eyes widened in horror.
Glimmer: That's horrible.
Bow: Why did they turn on you?
Cameron: Chips in our heads that made us comply with the order to kill the Jedi. But lucky for us here, our chips were never implanted or removed. Luckily, I removed mine before the attack. But lord knows what's going through his mind.
Adora: I'll go check on him.
Adora decided to go inside as the clones gathered supplies. She peeked her head in.
Adora: Cy?
Adora saw Cy was sitting watching a message of a man speaking from a small cube Cy held.
(Obi Wan on hologram) This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple...that time has passed. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.
The recording shuts off and R3 starts beeping sadly. Cy could sense the death of the Jedi and the Dark side growing in power. Adora looks and sees tears falling down Cy's face. She walks over to him, kneels down to him.
Adora: Cy, are you ok?
Cy: No, I'm not. They're gone. My Master and the entire Jedi Order is gone...I felt the cries and death of the Jedi that were killed. And I had to kill my own men...my friends that I've known for years. I don't have anything left to go back too.
Adora: I know we have only known each other for a while but we're here for you. And we will be by your side as long as possible. You said the Force works in mysterious ways, maybe you were brought here for a reason. And if that's the case, I'm glad we got to meet each other.
Cy smiled and wiped the tears and stood up.
Cy: Thanks Adora. I appreciate your kindness.
Adora: What are friends for?
Adora and Cy looked at each other and smiled. Then, Cameron came running in.
Cameron: Cy, we got multiple incoming! They look hostile.
Adora: It must be the Horde!
Cy: Cameron, ready the men!
Cameron: Yes, sir!
Cameron back outside. Cy and Adora headed out.
Cy(deeps breath) To one war to another...
Adora draws her sword. And hands Cy his lightsabers back to him.
Adora: You ready for a fight?
Cy activates his sabers.
Cy: Always.
