Today was not a good day for the Jedi.

After loosing the 42nd Republic Battle-Fleet somewhere in the Outer-Rim, The 501st was deployed in order to find it, and after 3 weeks of searching, they did find them... the destroyed hulls of them, anyway. From the analysis they did, they were destroyed by high-powered electrical weapons of some kind. When the 501st sent teams over, they discovered scorch marks along the walls, as well as claw-marks, but the thing that unsettled them was the fact there was no signs of struggle... the entire fleet was empty... the corpses of any kind, was not-human. Even when they examined the records they found nothing.

On board the Resolute, 4 people were discussing this disturbing matter.

"I think we should get the weapons and shields up! Something is off about this entire situation!"

"Anakin, while I understand your logic, I am concerned that if we do power up weapons and shields, that we'll be attacked. Perhaps that's what happened to the 42nd."

"I agree with Master Kenobi, Skyguy."

"Well Commander, I agree with General Skywalker."

"Looks like we are at an impasse."

These 4 were rather famous with the Troops. They were Anakin Skywalker, a valiant human Jedi Knight who leads his troops personally. Ahsoka Tano, the Togruta Jedi Padawan of Anakin, who seems to increase the general chaos that usually follows Anakin. Captain Rex, the Right-Hand of Anakin, respected among his brothers, and known to be very adaptable, and easily able to command the 501st if necessary. The final was the Human Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Member of the Jedi Council, an expert negotiator, a master of sarcasm, and Master of the Chosen One, Anakin.

"Obi-wan, I know that you want to play with caution, but..." Anakin paused, thinking on how to put this into words. "But something is just... triggering my fight-or-flight response. It feels like something is watching us, in the dark, waiting, planning..."

Obi-wan turned to Anakin, mulling on the words. "Now that you mention it... I feel it too..."

"Same with me-" Ahsoka spoke up. "It's really uncomfortable... I'm scared..."

"Being scared is a natural response, Commander." Rex nodded at Ahsoka, his eyes gentle. "To be honest, I'm scared as well. An unknown enemy manages to take down an entire fleet, takes all the clones and humans, yet leaves all the other species..." Rex shuddered, before gripping onto his DC-17 Blaster Pistols. "It's a very unsettling thought."

*Woosh... vwoorp... vwoORP... VWOORP... VWOORP... VWOORP...*

The Jedi and Clone quickly drew their weapons at where the sound was coming from. As they stared, a symbol began flashing from nothing... then something began to appear. It was a box... a big, black, rectangular box.

*VWOORP, VWOORP, VWOORP, VWOorp, vwoorp, vwoorp... Drum*

They stared at the box. The Clone was examining the box, searching for any sign of danger, but for the Jedi... The Jedi stared at the box... It was weird... It seemed alive, aware... It was seemingly scanning them, doing the same thing as Rex did to it...

*KRRRCH*

"Uh... Hello?"

Everyone paused at hearing the voice... It was young, yet... ever so ancient. Ancient to them, anyway. The accent however, was different to what they knew. It was later they discovered it was from New Zealand.

"Sorry for uh... landing in your ship, something steered mine here."

"Well, if that's the case, why not come out?" Obi-Wan spoke up, holstering his lightsaber. "We were all drawn here, us on a mission, and you because something steered you here. Why not team up? We need some fresh eyes."

"Well, that would be smart..." The voice paused, before speaking up again. "I'd rather not step outside and get shot, or stabbed, though."

Obi-Wan turned to Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex, and gave a 'stand-down motion'. Rex and Ahsoka complied, while Anakin hesitated before following through.

"Thank you."

The symbol on the box flashed, causing the side it was on to vanish. With the door gone, a man stepped out. He was young, maybe 25? He was pale, blonde hair in a single tail, with Ice Blue eyes... eyes that seemed to shine with wonder and horror... The 3 Jedi and the 1 Clone all shuddered at they think what the man must've seen...

"Nice to know I'm not being shot at, so thanks for that."

Rex looked over the man, using his knowledge of stealth and concealing to see if the man carried any weapons.

"So, what is your name, stranger?" Ahsoka asked, taking a look at the mans hair. "By the way, you have beautiful hair."

The man invisibly cringed, already sensing an oncoming headache.

"I am known as The Guardian, and that is all you need to know about me."

The short yet firm answer made the 4 pause. It was quick, yet... to the 4, it sounded like there was an underlying threat to the statement... Maybe it was just the paranoia this entire incident is causing.

Anakin decided to break the silence, "So, we got a vary odd situation going on here... I mean, an entire fleet destroyed, and the only corpses we could find were killed by some sort of... electric shot to the neck... But the thing that disturbs me is the fact that no clone corpses were found."

"I agree with the General, it too disturbs me." Rex looked down, sadness appearing in his eyes. "The fact that my brothers are gone, apparently not even fighting... I don't like it."

"I see..." The Guardian crossed his arms, and began stroking his chin. "The whole 'no human corpses' thing reminds me of something... can't remember what... Can I see your scanner logs? Might find something there."

Anakin nodded, and led them to the main scanner on the bridge, and brought up the logs. "I'm not entirely sure what you'll find, but I hope The Resolute can help you, considering you're the only one with a lead."

The Guardian began to scroll through the recent logs, before pausing, and scrolling back up. He leaned to the screen, rubbed his eyes, before quickly turning at break-neck speeds to Anakin. "Order your ships to turn around and run as fast as they can!"

"What? No, we came to find out what happened here-"

"And I'm telling you to run! Considering the fact that Rex here is a Clone, and a human, I could only assume what happened, but now that I've seen your log, my fear has become true! Now order your ships to run before-"

*KRRRRRSCH*

A horrible screeching made itself known to the crew, who all covered their ears, before the ship shutdown. Outside the view-screen, a blue light could be seen from a entire fleet. The mysterious fleet's ships were cylindrical, long. Easily dwarfing the Empire State Building 10x over. Big, circular structures were connected to the cylinders, spinning counter-clockwise to the cylinders clockwise.

"What the hell are they!?" Screamed Rex, as he ran to the helm, trying to move the ship. "They shut everything down!"

The Jedi Knight and Master turned to The Guardian, and simultaneously said, "What are they?"

The Guardian, looking at the ships, gritted his teeth, his eyes ablaze with fury...

"Cybermen."
