Right, so I would like to express how sorry I am for how quiet I've been. Like I said previously, this was my last year in University, and I graduated last Thursday with a Bachelors in History. Unfortunately due to a mix up, I only have three credits left, and I'm taking one more class in the Fall. But overall I'm done with college, and I have time to relax and such before I start looking for a job. So wish me luck, and thank you all for your patience.
I also published two new stories as well. Please check them out once you all have the chance.
So, I decided to make this a two part chapter instead of one. So this chapter is going to be short, while the next chapter will be The Deserter. And it will have focus on Huntress and her future. And since my last update, I would like to thank you to all the new comers who have fav, followed, or reviewed. It means a lot.
I own none the content, and please enjoy.
Grevious Intrigues
"Greetings, Jedi. it would seem, once again, one of your order has lost his way and even better, a leading member of your Jedi Council. Listen to me Jedi. I do not care about your politics. I do not care about your Republic. I only live to see you die! But death will not come so easily for Master Koth. I will make him suffer endlessly because I know that is more painful for you all!"
The members of Beta Squad watched the video that was sent by General Grevious to the Jedi Council. They all glared at the Droid General, and how he took sick pleasure in torturing Master Koth, and taunting them.
They were all called by General Skywalker, who needed them urgently, and they could see why. All of them had murderous glares by the time the message ended, as well as worry for Master Koth.
Everyone looked at Fives, who was squad leader. It had been about two month since they all got promoted, and both Zeer and Nax went back to Kamino for ARC Training. The training would last for a couple of months, and they weren't allowed to contact anyone. So it was anyone's guess on how they were doing.
Fives had proven to be a good leader so far, there was a few hiccups, but manageable. The most memorable was how Ahsoka kept getting his name wrong, thinking he was Zeer for at least a day or two, when they were training. She had apologized every time, but Fives had waved her off, and said it was fine. That didn't stop Tessa and the others to call him Zeer every time they spoke to him. Ahsoka got in on the joke, and it wasn't until Fives bopped Echo on the head that they stopped. And they also had a good laugh, when Ahsoka asked if Fives was planning on hitting her if she said his name wrong again.
After that, training started went better, and they all reorganized themselves until Zeer and Nax got back.
Once the video stopped, Fives looked at the General and Captain. "So, when do we leave to bust the head clanker, sir?"
"We already have a plan, General Kenobi and a small task force will handle Grevious. While Master Gallia and I will rescue Master Koth. You all, along with Rex will guard the ship, and take out any droids that could hinder us." Anakin explained.
"You here that, Tess? Looks like you won't be going Round 2 with Grevious." Echo joked.
"From what I heard, General Kenobi and Grevious have a history. So I'm glad he fights him." Tessa said with a shrug.
Tessa was all for a fight and all, but even she knew she wouldn't stand a chance in another fight against the Droid General. The first time at the Listening Post was out of pure luck. But she knew she would have to eventually face the General again, and hoped she made it out in one piece.
Later, Tessa and Domino were strapping themselves in on the ship they were on, as they waited for General Kenobi's transmission with the coordinates. How they were going to get Master Koth, was something only General Skywalker could come up with. And they were both anticipating and worried at the plan their Jedi General had up his sleeve.
The doors to the cockpit opened up, and General Skywalker said." Buckle up back there." He said, and they felt the familiar lurch of a ship going into Hyperspace.
The ride lasted only for a few minutes, until they felt rumbling outside, and then had to hold on once the ship went outside, and then latched onto what they assumed was Grevious' command ship.
"Anyone else getting a head rush?" Tessa joked.
"Nope, just you sister." Attie joked.
Once they got unstrapped, they all got off the ship, and into one of the hallways of the ship.
"Everyone stay close, and listen out. We don't know if we'll be getting out of this quietly, or we're going to fight our way out of this." Rex said.
"Sir, not to question you. But there is a high chance we will be fighting. It's pretty much expected of General Skywalker by this point." Fives said.
Rex looked like he was about to say something, but stopped short. After fighting alongside Skywalker for the period of time he had, he knew how he operated, and type of person he was. It wasn't a bad quality,
"Just look out for any droids. Only engage if you don't have any other option, and make it quick." Rex ordered.
"Yes sir." They said.
Luckily they didn't have to fight any droids, which was slightly disappointing. Any chance to bash some droids was always welcomed. And a few minutes later, both Jedi Generals returned, along with Master Koth, who looked injured, but was able to stand, although with some help.
"Coric, Rex, a little hand?" Anakin said.
The both of them helped Master Koth down the shaft they came in, and into the ship. Once they all got onboard, they took off to one of the hangers of the ship, so they could pick up General Kenobi and his group.
Once they did, both Kenobi and Gallia went to the cockpit. Kenobi sat behind Anakin, but got up to talk to him.
"Anakin, get me Admiral Yularen." Obi-Wan said, and Anakin patched him through.
"Admiral, this is General Kenobi. Any sign of Grevious?"
"Several craft detached from Grevious' ship, attempted to land on Saleucami." The Admiral said.
"Then we'll have to land and follow them. Prepare the tanks."
"Yes sir." Yularen said and ended the transmission.
"There must be several landing sites. It may be hard to locate the good general." Anakin said.
Obi-Wan thought about it for a moment, and said," Then you're going to have to take command of the space battle. While Rex, Cody, and I head to the surface."
"You sure you can handle this on your own?" Anakin questioned.
"I think I can manage. But a little help won't hurt. I'm going to need to request Beta Squad."
Anakin grinned a little, and said," Their all yours. Zeer and Nax may be off going through ARC Training, but Ahsoka assured me they can still hold their own."
"Yes, after what I saw of their work during Ryloth and Geonosis, I have faith in them." Kenobi agreed.
Rex happened to hear what they were saying, and excused himself. He walked to the other part of the ship.
"Looks like we'll be getting some action after all. We're heading for the surface to hunt Grevious. Beta, get your things in order, General Kenobi requested you personally." Rex said.
"And we'll be ready for it Captain. Right everyone." Fives said.
"You know it, Fives." Tessa agreed, with the others saying similar sentiment.
Rex nodded at them, and started to think how this will all play out.
If only he knew.
