Hey everybird! What's up!?

So for those of you who are just wondering… I can actually rewatch The Rise of Skywalker, there are places to watch it on the internet, I wouldn't say where because I don't want to get into trouble, but just know that I'm able to finish this story already because of that!

And I'm also surprised no one figured out the gift Eddie has in store for the boys…

Anyway, moving on to today's question…

Since there are only three more episodes of Star Wars Resistance, for those of you who watch that show, what do you think will happen at the end?

Me: Obviously the good guys will win and the Colossus able to escape Commander Pyre and Agent Tierny for good, how they will do so I can't think of anything. I also remember that in the trailer for the second season, that Kylo Ren does make an appearance and not only that, but will force Tierny to kill herself. I have heard that the Colossus does in fact (And spoiler warning!) join the massive fleet of random ships that goes to Exegol for the final big battle, so I wonder if we'll see any hint of that in the last episode.

Moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, he asks, "What would you like to see happen in the Obi-wan Kenobi TV series on Disney?"

Me: I think I have already said it somewhere, but I'll say it again, I would like to see his younger years, before The Phantom Menace, seeing him train under the guidance of Qui-Gon Jinn. Or I would like to see his period of exile on Tatooine, watching over Luke and making sure he's safe.

And one last thing before we get to the next chapter… Stormknight089, your question will be answered in the next part of the Daring Jewel series, I want to keep things completely separate from these two stories so things don't get confusing.


Chapter 55: Trickery


(Arthur's POV)

Leaving Ajan Kloss in our small shuttle, the craft going up and up through the blue skies, out into space, Tyler and I, along with Alex and Ashley, prepared for the jump to hyperspace, once the coordinates were inputed we made the jump. Of course we couldn't just head straight to Belladoon, out shuttle would right away be blasted to pieces by either a star destroyer's turbolasers or a TIE fighter patrol. We were enroute to Onderon, a planet which used to be a place of heated conflict between the Separatists and rebels who opposed the rule of the King Rash, now under the control of the First Order.

From our latest intel reports, the First Order didn't have any ships in orbit, so it was safe for us to fly there and land undetected in the world's forests. Once there we were to meet up with a Resistance agent, who would get us into the heavily guarded capital city, providing us with fake IDs so we could board a civilian transport for Belladoon. Hopefully the plan would go smoothly and we would get to Grandpa Eddie.

As the warning light came on that the shuttle was about to exit hyperspace, I let out a breath, hopeful to not see any star destroyers.

"Coming out of hyperspace in three, two…" Tyler said as the blue tunnel of hyperspace turned into white lines of stars before entering back to real space, the blackness filling our view as I turned to Alex.

"Alex, picking up any star destroyers?" I asked, to which the droid replied with a negative beep, indicating we were safe.

"So far so good." Tyler told me.

"Lets hope it stays that way until we reach Belladoon." I replied as I prepared the shuttle for landing, flying it down through Onderon's atmosphere and heading for the rendezvous point in the forests.

It was nighttime as we arrived, touching down at a big enough clearing in the forest as we shut down the engines. Making sure my blaster pistol was secure on my belt I got up, followed by Tyler, Alex, and Ashley, we opened the hatch and walked out, one wing on my blaster as we waited for the Resistance members to show up.

"Maybe we came too early?" Tyler suggested as we looked around, seeing no one, that is until we heard some rustling, getting not only louder, but closer as I took out my blaster pistol, Tyler following me as we were ready to aim and shoot.

A few seconds later, a bunch of animals came bursting out of the forest cover, and on the animal's backs were their riders, stopping the animals as the leader looked at us.

"Commander Arthur, Captain Tyler?" The leader asked, noticing us holding onto our blasters. "Relax, we're the Resistance on Onderon, General Organa has informed me of your arrival, my name's Commander Tandin."

"Tandin?" Tyler wondered out loud as I also knew that name, sounding very familiar. "That's the name of the general of the Onderon Royal Militia during the Clone Wars."

"Yes, I'm his son." Commander Tandin answered. "Now, we must prepare quickly, in the morning we make our way into Iziz." The commander notifying us as Tyler and I were helped on onto two of the animals behind a couple of the other Resistance members. With Alex and Ashley on the ground, we made our way to the hideout this group had.

We rode up mountain passes, as we rode into a cave system, where a few rebels stood guard, saluting as Commander Tandin passed. As we got down from the animals, we followed the commander inside, Tyler and I passing by the other rebel soldiers, who sat around fires, eating the little food they could get or cleaning their weapons. As Commander Tandin sat down by a fire, he motioned for us to sit down.

"As you can see, there's not many of us and we're under equipped, but you two must be hungry." Tandin said as one of the rebels brought over some food. "Eat, you will need all your strength for tomorrow."

"Thank you commander." I said as I took a bite, swallowing it. "If you don't mind me saying, how are we going to get into the city?"

"We're going to disguise ourselves and a few of my soldiers as hunters, bringing in some fresh food for the market." Commander Tandin answered. "A similar trick was used back in the Clone Wars to get rebels into the city."

"But that was against droids, how do you know if it will work against stormtroopers?" Tyler pointing out.

"We have to try Tyler and we can't simply blast our way into the city." I turned to my brother."

"Don't worry, even stormtroopers are not that bright, but tell me, how is it going on your end for the Resistance?" Tandin asked.

"Honestly, not that much better than here, we're struggling with what we have." I answered.

"Well, could be worse." Tandin wanting to brighten up the mood. "We all just need to wait for the right moment to strike and free the galaxy, but right now, it is time for rest, finish up your meal and sleep, in the morning we go." The commander getting up as he went to sleep himself.

As Tyler and I slept, a few of Tandin's soldiers got to work preparing the carts and animals we would need to get into the city, loading up a bunch of food products for our cover. And in the morning, as Tyler and I were rested, we joined Tandin and his soldiers on the carts, but not before hiding Alex and Ashley underneath the food products in the carts, which the two were not happy by.

"It wouldn't be for long you two, you can't be seen by the troopers when they scan the carts." I told Alex and Ashley as they were hidden.

"And stay as quiet as you can." Tyler added. "Don't want to give us all away." Tyler finished as Alex and Ashley had no choice and gave groaning beeps.

Once we were all ready, we headed off to the city, down the mountain passes and through the forests as the city and its tall walls came into view. As the city's entrance came into full view, we could see the barrier we had to pass by. At least three full squads of troopers were at the checkpoint, half of them standing guard while the other half were checking the IDs of those who wanted to enter the city. There were even a couple of small AT walkers on either side of the bridge's end leading into the city.

"Let me do all the talking." Tandin told Tyler and I as we slowly rode towards the checkpoint, a trooper halting us as a few others were on standby, one of them holding a scanner.

"Halt." The trooper ordered. "What were you doing outside of the city?"

"Hunting, to bring food to the market." Tandin answered.

"Do you have a permit and your ID?" The trooper asked.

"I left my ID in the city and unfortunately I lost my permit while we were out there." Tandin replied as I kept my cool, turning to Tyler as I saw his wing go towards his blaster pistol on his belt, which was hidden.

I gently grabbed Tyler's wing as he looked at me, shaking my head slightly to tell him "No", as he got the message while Tandin got things under control.

"Look, I'm sorry I don't have the things I need, but we need to get this food to the market if others want to eat dinner tonight." Tandin calmly said.

"Scan them." The trooper who Tandin was talking to told the one holding onto the device, the trooper going from cart to cart, not getting any warning sounds. "Well, anything we need to be concerned about?" The trooper who was talking to Tandin asked the one holding the scanner.

"Nothing except for a lot of organic material, nothing metallic." The trooper holding the scanner reported, while I breathed a quiet sigh of relief, thankful they couldn't read Alex and Ashley.

"Alright, go ahead, but next time you don't have your permit and ID, there will be trouble." The trooper who was talking to Tandin letting us through.

"Thank you." Tandin replied as the entrance was unblocked and we could go in.

Once inside we rode to the back alleys, where Tyler and I got Alex and Ashley out, the two droids of course very much annoyed.

"Quiet you two, we don't want to attract attention, sorry we had to do that." I told the two as Tandin came over.

"Okay, this is where we must part ways." Tandin said as he held onto our fake IDs for entry to the civilian transport. "Good luck commander, captain."

"Thank you commander." I said as I shook wings with Tandin. "I wish my brother and I could stay and help you, but we have our own mission."

"You have your own destiny and I have mine, do your part to win the war commander." Tandin said. "Now go, space port is aways from here."

As Tandin and his soldiers stayed to check on the Resistance members in the city before leaving to go back outside, Tyler and I, along with Alex and Ashley started to make our way to the space port, where we would see the effect of First Order occupation…


And I'll end it there! This chapter turned out a little longer than I thought, but I guess I could have done a bit more with it as well, but I hope you're happy and ready for the next chapter, because the boys will reach Belladoon and see how that situation is!

And with that…

See everybird later!
