To those that guess right, I did indeed give Robert the Legendary Black Falcon gear worn what by Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden games. I find ninja's very cool, especially those like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and any other ninja's I can't think of. Also, the name he used was chosen from Heero Yuy, one of the characters from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing the series that got me back into Gundams.

Anyway, disclaimers are the same as before so enjoy.

Chapter 20: Escape from Kadavo

December 13th 2018, 21BBY

0015 hours

Zygerria

Roberts point of view

Most people would be preparing for the holidays this time of year. Picking out and decorating a Christmas tree, preparing the dinners for the family and clearing snow from their driveways for when guests come over.

But for me, I am liberating slaves.

The moment Barriss, 47 and I arrived at the rendezvous point Erik and Rako were marking targets with their sniper rifles and range finders. "Bout time you showed up kid." Rako said as he lowered the RSASS and took a sip of water from his canteen. "We got a problem." He added.

"What's the trouble?" I asked concerned as Lycan nuzzled up to my leg. "Looks like the Pykes are here collecting slaves." Erik began as I looked through the binoculars and spotted several freighters with the Pykes logo on them. "They only just arrived, but soon these guys are going to be leaving and by the time Nym and the rest of the Revenants arrive they will be long gone." He added checking the receiver of his G36C before checking his MP7 and then his MP5.

"Fucking slavers. I hate these guys." I cursed as I narrowed my eyes at one of the Pyke ships. "I won't let them get away with this. Alright, Rako, 47, Fenrir I need you three to setup an overwatch position on that ridge over there. Erik, Barriss and I will move in and place charges on the Pyke ships engines. We can't let these fuckers escape. Once the charges are in place we will proceed to phase two and disable the processing stations communication systems. We can't let these guys call for help or we'll be up to our necks in Zygerrians. We need to do this quietly or else those people will spend the rest of their lives as property instead of people." I said with determination.

The others nodded and soon moved to the spot I designated. "You sure you're ok Robert?" Barriss asked. "I am fine. Just waiting to pump these slavers and slave owners full of lead." I said with a grin hidden beneath my hood. I checked the suppressors on my guns, making sure they were screwed on tight and to my relief they were secured. While the guns I had were good, I would be unleashing fury with an AK once we found where the rest of the Kiros colonists were and when we rendezvoused with Master Plo.

The second Fenrir and the others were out of sight the rest of us slid down the slope. I prayed that the prime minister didn't hurt Ahsoka, if he did I would rip his heart out and feed it to him.

The second we arrived at the bottom of the slope, Erik, Barriss and I split up. Barriss went to the Pyke ships to place the charges on the ships engines with Erik assisting her while I maneuvered towards one of the facilities entrances, this one being the closet to the facilities communication center.

My blood boiled with rage, those who believe that owning another living being deserves a painful death by bullets, shells, explosives or bolts. I was going to enjoy this slaughter.

I was almost spotted by a Zygerrian guard, but before the guard could raise the alarm the slaver was dropped. "Target down." Rako said over the commlink as I moved the body out of sight. I moved closer and closer to the entrance, either killing the guards silently or hiding the bodies from the enemy sight. One guard was to just far enough for me to fire one of my ballistic knives at the slaver, hitting them in the back and killing them quietly.

"Not a throwing star, but it gets the job done." I said quietly as I recovered the spent knife and continued towards the entrance. By the time I reached the entrance, Erik and Barriss caught up with me their objective having been completed. "Phase one complete. Moving to phase two." I said quietly over the commlink as I sensed the arrival of Barney and the others. "Back up has arrived." I added before the three of us entered the facility and made our way towards the communications center.

As the doors closed behind us we surprised a group of four Zygerrians. Erik cut down two of them with his MP7 and I downed the other two with my PDW. After we hid the bodies we pressed further and further into the facility, cutting down any Zygerrians we came across or letting them pass us.

The closer we got to the communication center the louder the screams of pain we heard became close. "Continue towards the communication center, I have a sister to liberate." I instructed the two lovers before leaving them to handle the other part of the mission.

The moment I left them, I was confronted by over a dozen Zygerrian guards. Before they could even get a shot off, I pushed them hard back towards the wall with the force giving me the chance to kill each slaver with a single 7.62x39mm round from my SR-47 before my gauntlet indicated that the communications system was neutralized. "No point in going silent now." I said unscrewing the suppressor from my rifle and pulled out a detonator and pressed the button. From inside the facility, I could hear the explosions of the Pyke ships just as my commlink crackled. "Hey kid, we late to the party?" a voice called over the com channel, alerting the other nearby Zygerrians to my position who then opened fire at my position.

"No, you're just in time Nym. Take out any hostile aircraft approaching the scene and keep any remaining Pyke ships still intact." I called over the commlink, picking up a dead body and using it as a shield reducing the risk to my wellbeing. The moment the weapons fire stopped I fired my SR47 with one hand emptying my current magazine and killing four of the attacking slaver guards before I threw the body shield at the remaining Zygerrians before killing them with two more ballistic knives.

(Hell Broke Luce by Tom Waits begins)

More Zygerrians ran towards me and began to fire at me. Dodging their fire, I ran along the wall firing my PDW and SR-47 at the same time killing more slavers with each burst of gunfire. I then kicked off the wall and got behind them firing the rest of my weapons magazines at the slavers killing them all down.

A blaster bolt flew over my head from behind and I saw a Zygerrian with a smoking blaster standing a few feet from me. "Big mistake." I said before charging forward towards the slaver, tackling them to the ground before ripping their jugular out and killing the attacker. Picking up the fallen blaster I fired along burst at several approaching Zygerrian owned Commando Droids, downing each droid with a clean headshot.

As the droids fell more Zygerrians approached from behind and fired at me as well. Ducking behind a nearby wall, I blind fired my blaster at the slaver guards downing five of them before one of them hit my blaster destroying it and no sooner had my blaster fallen, I was grabbed by a large muscular Zygerrian and thrown several feet into a large room.

"Buddy, you just pissed me off." I said to the Zygerrian who then sprinted forwards and tried to grapple me. I rolled to the right before jumping into the air and landed a bicycle kick to the big brute's chest pushing him back.

As I landed I heard the sound of gunfire and looked up to see Erik blasting slavers and droids away with his G36 as Barriss deflected blaster bolts away from them and hit one slaver with the hilt of her lightsaber knocking them out. I knew she hated killing people, even if they were slavers and deserved death.

The time I took to look gave the big guy a chance to land several blows on me and then pushed me back a few feet again. The moment I looked up went into a berserker like trance, almost like I was being controlled by some kind of unknown force.

I shrugged forwards to the large Zygerrian and with one punch I pushed the hostile back into several large pipes and then with my loaded PDW fired an entire magazine into the body of the slaver even after they were dead. Blood splattered all over my padding and the other guards who watched the carnage from above and in the room. I slung my carbine over my back took out my rifle and fired at the Zygerrians, cartwheeling through the barrage of blaster fire and downed over a dozen hostiles before ejecting my spent magazine and loaded a fresh one into the weapon just as the Zygerrians began to fall back.

"No witnesses." I said and began to fire at the fleeing hostiles, resisting the urge to laugh like the Joker as I did so. When my magazine ran dry, I took a fallen blaster rifle and fired it as well into the enemies as I stepped over the dead bodies and kept shooting.

One Zygerrian was hit in the leg and was bleeding as he crawled to get away. I stepped on his wounded leg and fired. Even after I killed him I kept shooting his body, getting more and more blood on myself. "You like that? Huh. Fucking sack of slaver maggots crap." I shouted before Erik pushed my captured weapon down. "Its dead sergeant." He said while Barriss looked away horrified at the devastation I had unleashed. "Not much left to look at after you scrape them off your boots. Slavers deserve no mercy, especially when they force children into that life." I stated and ditched my blaster before making my way towards one of the slave pens.

(Song ends)

I approached one of the slave pens and heard the crying of a girl. "This is it." I said and ripped the door open with the force. Stepping through the doorway I found a Togruta girl the same age and appearance as Ahsoka in an outfit similar to Shoda's disguise only with a veil hanging below the gag placed over her mouth and nose and tied securely to a poll. Her body was covered with whip marks and dirt.

As I approached the girl and lowered my rifle just as the girl opened her eyes, looked at me and began to scream in terror as I came closer and closer to her. I could tell that she must have thought I was here to either torture or kill her.

I knelt down in front of her and looked her in the eyes. "Mersha Kalu?" I asked the girl who then stopped screaming through her gag and looked at me. "I'm here to get you out of here." I added as I removed her gag and she spat out a dirty rag that was inside her mouth. "How do you know my name?" She asked, I could tell that she did not trust me.

"Your siblings are named Sana and Zono. They are twins, four years old and living on Kiros after your parents died. Am I correct?" I asked as I began to remove her bounds. "Yes, but how did you know?" she asked and I explained what happened when I was on Kiros. "I am grateful to you that they are safe, but who are you?" she asked.

"I am the Lone Wolf. I am here with Anakin Skywalker and his allies to free you and the other colonists from a life of slavery. Now come on, the rest of the slaves are going to want out before we blow this place to hell." I responded and helped Mersha to her feet.

The moment we exited her cell, I was greeted by a near headshot. Turing around I saw Barney with his Ultimax 100 Mark 2 light machine gun in his hands. "Sorry." He shouted as Gunner came up behind him with two Ruger MP9s in his hands, but I turned my focus towards the other slave pens.

Seeing this must have caused Gunner to stop me and place Semtex charges on the other doors and instructed those in the cells to stand clear of the door to avoid getting killed. "Everybody get back, THIS IS GOING TO BE LOUD!" my uncle shouted before pressing the detonators button and the charges exploded short-circuiting the door controls and causing all the doors to open.

Much like Mersha, the other slaves were badly beaten and covered in whip marks. "Everybody who wants to leave, better take it cause this train is leaving and it ain't coming back!" I shouted as my gauntlet beeped again. "Kiddo, we got the charges planted on the facilities reactor and it should be enough to blow this place up." Cassie said over the commlink.

"Copy that. We're Oscar Mike." I replied as the rest of us lead the slaves out of the processing station. When we got outside, I saw the smoldering remains of Pyke ships, Zygerrian HH-87 Starfighters and bodies of slavers and slave buyers littering the ground. The Albatross was waiting for us along with other transport ships belonging to the Revenants. "Each ship will get you to the fleet belonging to General Rahm Kota." I began as I turned and faced the freed slaves. "Once you get to the fleet, the soldiers will give you the medical attention you all need and will reunite you with your families." I added as one of the slaves a Wookie came up to me and gave me a bear hug. "Ok big guy, you can let go of me now." I said before the slaves began to board the transports.

Once the transports were clear and I reunited with Rako and the others, I pressed a button on my gauntlet and detonated the charges on the plants reactor but the explosion didn't destroy the building so I asked Nym if he could drop some energy bombs on the building. He was more than happy to oblige and by the time I reunited with Erik and the others, Nym's bombs had reduced the building to a smoldering wreck.

After I cleaned off the blood off my disguise and grabbed an AK-103 which I equipped with a seventy-five-round magazine, small red grip, Russian red-dot sight and muzzle break and but it into my duffle bag and no sooner had I returned to the queen's palace fell asleep as if nothing happened.

"Enjoy the little time your slave empire has for now queenie, cause soon your empire will crumble and slavers will be frightened at the wrath of the Lone Wolf." I said quietly as I fell asleep.

Kadavo slave processing plant

Kadavo system

1200 hours

For four days they were forced to mine ore. For four days they were given very little food our water and were taunted by the keeper of the facility.

Obi-Wan and Rex could hold there own for the time being, but the colonists weren't used to this type of hard labor. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, once a Jedi master, now a Jedi slave. Pitful." Arguss said before laughing and leaving the two to toil in the work.

After they noticed a Togruta receive a whipping for stopping only for a second Obi-Wan turned to Rex. "Everything about this place is designed to shatter the will. It has already begun to affect these poor people." Obi-Wan commented before he was whipped and shocked for speaking.

Despite Obi-Wan being the one 'at fault' the guard whipped Governor Roshti who was already weak. Obi-Wan tried to get the guard to whip him, but instead was electrocuted by another guard and was forced to beg for the forgiveness of his 'master'. After the guards left, Obi-Wan tried to help the governor but his act of kindness was pushed away, the Togruta saying that Jedi only make things worse. Obi-Wan looked to Rex in sadness as the screams of slaves filled the air.

Back on Zygerria, Robert was walking with Atai and had just stopped above Ahsoka's cage. "Nothing to say Jedi, Hmmm? Too bad, I think you just earned yourself another shock." Atai said and pressed the button controlling Ahsoka's collar and sent a powerful surge through the body of Roberts friend. "There is more where that came from if you refuse to acknowledge your master when you are spoken too." Atai growled and pressed the button a few more times. Each shock weakening Ahsoka more and more.

"You think that is all, think again you pathetic skug." Atai stated and was about to press the button again, when Robert stopped him. "The queen wants her alive. You could end up killing her instead. You should give her torture a rest other wise you will lose a bit of profit." Robert said taking the collar remote from the minister.

"You said that you teach your captives their place and this is how I do it. If you don't have the stomach to do such a treatment, then you are a contradiction to your way of life." Atai spat. "You're a funny guy, minister." Robert said causing Atai to look surprised. "That's why I'm going to kill you last." He added.

For a moment Atai just stood in place before he chuckled. "Now that is what a slaver says to a slave. You will be a slaver yet, Mr. Yuy." Atai said thinking that Robert had joked about killing him and walked away. "Its no joke dipshit. I will kill you." Robert thought as he looked down towards Ahsoka before jumping to the roof of the palace.

Meanwhile, a Rouge-Class starfighter with blood red paint maneuvered through the ships that were leaving and arriving to Zygerria. In the cockpit with her helmet removed, Dark Star spoke to Darth Sidious. "Long have Sith empires been built on the backs of slaves. To carry this tradition, we shall require millions." Sidious stated. "I can assure you, the Queen's defiance will not sour your plans my lord." Dark Star replied as she entered the atmosphere. "If she fails to see the error of her ways, end her rule." Sidious commented before his hologram disappeared and Dark Star landed before being escorted to the palace.

Back at the palace, Miraj was still trying to convince Anakin that if he vowed his loyalty to her she would spare Ahsoka and the others. "Its not an easy decision." Anakin stated as he noticed Robert running across the roof following him. "And more to the point, you still don't know who attacked your processing plant. How can I be sure that if I swear loyalty to you that I will not be killed?" Anakin added.

"Hmm, curious. I thought all Jedi were selfless, placing the needs of others before their own, but you have a point. I cannot guarantee the safety of any of my servants." The queen said. The news of the processing station attack came to her early the morning after she separated Anakin and the others. Someone had attacked the station, killed the buyers and guards and to her anger freed all of the slaves being held there and destroyed the station.

At first, she thought it was a competitor trying to weaken grip on the slave trade, but she soon heard that The Havoc, the starfighter/bomber piloted by the leader of the Lok Revenants was seen leaving the planet just recently.

As she and Anakin rounded a corner, Atai approached her and informed her that Dark Star had arrived. "Much sooner than anticipated, make preparations for her arrival." Miraj ordered as Atai went to do so. "Seems you have a master." Anakin admitted.

Dark Star is not my master!" she growled. "Perhaps you should not attend this meeting, can I trust that you will not run away?" she asked in a playful like manner. "I don't runaway from anything your Highness." Anakin replied and handed her his lightsaber. Miraj just chuckled and left leaving Anakin alone with her two guards who trained their blasters on him.

Artoo, who was following his friend was about to run up too one of the guards when he noticed Robert perched on one of the arches above Anakin and decided to stop. As the guards hit Anakin with the butts of their blasters, Robert landed directly behind them, stabbing one of them with his knife before grabbing the other one with his hand and sent both of them flying into the city below landing in a stall of fruit.

"Homerun." Robert quipped. "Nice work. You find Ahsoka?" Anakin asked. "Yeah, I found her, but we better hurry. I have a promise to keep to a certain prime minister." Robert said before leading the duo to Ahsoka's position.

As this was going on, Dark Star entered the throne room and approached the queen. "I wasn't expecting you assassin, not with out an invitation." Miraj commented. "But I was invited by your faithful advisor. He is concerned about your attachment to Skywalker." She said causing Atai to growl while the Queen glared at her prime minister.

"Skywalker is a symbol of my-our power to enslave even Jedi." The queen admitted as she rose from her throne. "Your power over him is an illusion. You forget, I was once a Jedi myself." Dark Star responded.

"You have little in common with Anakin. Please, hear my plans for the Jedi, then decide." The queen said as one of her slave girls brought them both a drink. "Right now, at my facility in the Kadavo, Obi-Wan Kenobi is in despair." She began while Dark Star took a sip of her own drink while Atai left to tend to Ahsoka's further torture.

"Kenobi is coming to realize, perhaps for the first time in his life that his efforts to help others will only injure them. As plans for escape and hopes of rescue fade, the gnawing fear that he will never be able to take action will grow in Kenobi's heart to ease the burden of his fellow slaves, defiance will become compliance, when Kenobi realizes he cannot help those around him, his spirit will break and will be mine if such Jedi like Skywalker and Kenobi can fall, how many more will follow? Hmm? Imagine, imagine an army of Jedi in your service, Zygerria will be invincible." The queen explained.

While the queen had finished explaining her plan, Dark Star had finished her drink. "A most ambitious plan, your Highness." Dark Star admitted as she returned her glass to the slave girl. "Unfortunately, my goal is not the enslavement of the Jedi Order, but its extermination. I have come to supervise the execution, perform it if necessary now, summon Skywalker." She added surprising the queen.

Ahsoka's point of view

When he pulled on my Montrals it really hurt. Sure, he had to act like a tough slaver with little care for his 'cargo' but he could have been a little gentler when he did so. I am surprised that he wasn't in the other cage in the same predicament as I was, dangling over the city hundreds of feet in the air with the occasional wildlife landing on the cage and rattling it waking me from my sleep.

Even with the meditations I did while being in this cage I couldn't help but feel down. Not only did we fail to locate my people, but it looks like I will spend the rest of my life as a slave for the queen. Sure, the outfit I had on was cute and a little embarrassing but I thought for sure Robert would like seeing me in something other than my Jedi attire. Ever since Umbara he has been acting rather unusual and more violent than he usually is on the battlefield.

After Krell's treachery, he nearly beat a man to death in the upper levels of Coruscant after the man pulled a blaster of Riyo. By the time he was pulled of the attacker by Senator Organa, his fists were covered in blood and the he gave the attacker several cracked ribs, broken bones and a black eye. "Robert never acted like this before. What's going on with him?" I asked myself as I notice Artoo fly up to edge while Anakin landed on the cage and Robert landed on the edge with Artoo.

"Well, hello master, Robert. Took you guys long enough." I said weakly. "Quit complaining you had a nice view." Robert said with anger as Master Skywalker lifted the cage to the ground before he pulled open the cage and I ripped the collar off my neck. "You ok?" my master asked.

"I sense a disturbance in the force. Its Dark Star." I replied. "I need you and Robert to get our ship. I need to get the queen, she knows where the slaves and Obi-Wan are so we need answers." Anakin explained and headed towards the Throne room. "We don't need the slave empire leader bitch. The colonists are at the Kadavo system." Robert explained.

I shot him a glare. "How do you know?" I asked.

"Well, Queenie told Heero about the facility since she thought I was still a slaver so she figured her secret was safe with me." He explained before a blaster bolt flew over us. Turning around we saw that Atai had heard and seen everything.

"I knew I was right about you. You are the Lone Wolf. It will be my pleasure to kill you for those you killed at the station the other night." Molec spat before he took out his whip and cracked it and wrapped it around Roberts wrist. The jolt of electricity would give anyone a good amount of pain, but Robert didn't flinch or scream. In fact, it was like he was used to such pain.

"My turn." The boy I loved said and sprinted towards the minister and landed a shift uppercut to Atai's jaw. Then he gave him a round-house kick to the face followed by a 'cupshot' as Robert calls it before grabbing Molec by the leg and dangled him over the railing.

"What are you doing?" I shouted but Robert didn't listen to me. "No one hurts my friends and lives to brag about it." he stated coldly as the minister looked down with sheer terror in his eyes. "Remember minister when I promise to kill you last?" he asked the minister.

"That's right boy, you did." Atai said in terror. "I lied." Robert said bluntly and released the ministers leg and let him fall to the ground. "What did you do?" I asked in a somewhat surprised and alarmed tone. "I let him go." Robert quipped before he picked me up Bridal style and leapt into the air.

"Are you crazy!" I asked as we landed on the roof top of one the buildings but he either didn't hear me or ignore me, still being held in his arms did make me blush a little.

By the time he let me go, we arrived at the ship. "Fastest way is across the roofs. Besides, I think I got a good look at your panties." Robert chuckled but I didn't find it funny. I left him in the cargo hold and began to remove my outfit. "Sometimes I wonder if he is nuts." I said to myself, putting my dark grey leggings on followed by my burgandy mini-skirt, burgundy top, maroon colored arm braces, armlets and boots.

I returned to the cargo hold and tossed my slave outfit to Robert. "Better put that in your duffle bag. I never know when I might need it again." I said. I was hoping that when Robert returned to his old self I could wear that outfit for him and tell him how I feel about him. "Pfft, that will be the day." I scoffed to myself as we received the signal to pick up my master and I brought the ship to the window above the throne room just as Skyguy jumped through the window with queen in his hands.

As we left the planet, I sensed the queen's death and while I was glad that she wasn't ruling her empire anymore I also felt sad that she had died. She should have been made to stand in court instead. Artoo plugged the coordinates for Kadavo into the navi-computer and I pulled the lever and entered hyperspace.

Normal point of view

Kadavo

1400 hours

As Robert and the others were making their way to the facility, Obi-Wan and Rex were brought to Agruss in the facilities command center while the rest of the colonists were taken to the lower levels. "Someone wishes to speak with you." The warden stated and before them a holographic appearance of Dark Star appeared. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, in chains once again." Dark said.

"Dark Star, afraid to get your hands dirty?" Obi-Wan questioned. Dark Star ignored him and turned his attention to Rex. "So, this is the clone trooper that has fallen in love with a mercenary slut." Dark Star insulted. "You can't talk about General Cage like that. I love her for who she is, not what her occupation is." Rex roared only to shocked by a Zygerrian whip.

"I seemed to have touched a nerve with the clone." Dark Star said before she laughed and turned her attention back to Obi-Wan. "I wanted to say a proper farewell before Keeper Arguss puts you to death, my old friend." Dark Star explained. 'Old friend. I never met Dark Star before today, and I don't remember anyone like her at the temple.' Obi-Wan thought before a guard reported that the Tecora had landed. "Skywalker." Dark Star growled.

As the ship touched down, Anakin, Robert, Ahsoka and Artoo ran towards the main door as the stations turrets destroyed the ship sending a piece of it flying towards the group. Robert caught it with the force and redirected it to one of the turrets destroying the turret. "One down, who knows how many more to go." He said before he rejoined the trio at the door which Anakin began to cut through.

A blaster bolt hit R2's drive wheel and he inched back a few inches just as Obi-Wan contacted Anakin and explained the situation. "ARE YOU SERIOIUSLY GOING TO NEGOTIATE WITH A BUNCH OF FUCKING SLAVERS?" Robert shouted. "THESE ANIMALS KIDNAP AND SELL PEOPLE FOR PROFIT, THEY DESERVE NOTHING BUT DEATH!" he added.

"I understand your feelings towards this situation Robert, but you all must realize that this is one fight you cannot win alone." Obi-Wan stated.

"Who says we were alone?" Anakin asked with a smile.

As if on cue, Admiral Barton Coburn's Star Destroyer and his Arquitens-class light cruiser, the Hand of Justice dropped out of hyperspace. The main hanger opened up and exiting the hanger was the Blade of Dorin piloted by Plo Koon, three gunships and five Z-95 headhunters.

"Wolf Leader to Wolf Pack and Red Squad, accelerate to attack speed." Plo commanded as the fighters came in from 9'o clock high. "This is Warthog, I'm going in." One of the pilots replied as he strafed several of the gun towers causing the facility to shake violently.

In the command center, Obi-Wan and Rex took advantage of the attack and began to fight back against their captors.

Master Plo pulled up from his strafing run, missing one of the towers by inches. "Those towers are ray-shielded." He exclaimed as Erik attempted to shake two of the T.I.E fighters that had taken off and were now chasing him. Quickly, the experienced pilot pulled a hard-right turn and zoomed straight towards the hostile fighters with his cannons blazing. He downed them and pushed down on his controls to narrowly avoid hitting the debris. "Splash two fighters." He called out before selecting a group of HH-87 fighters that were hot on the tail of Maverick.

As the republic and Zygerrian fighters zoomed overhead, Ahsoka turned towards her master. "I hope you told Master Plo not to destroy this facility before we get off it." she said. "Yeah, all of us and the slaves." Anakin added as he finished cutting through the door. "We're gonna need a bigger ship." Ahsoka added.

Several Zygerrian guards stood between them and Anakin was about to strike when the guards were gunned down by Roberts AK-103 before Anakin could even strike. Both master and padawan looked at each other and proceeded towards the location of the slaves.

The fighting outside seemed to be one sided but another pair of T. and HH-87s soon joined the fight. The HH-87s managed to hit one of the engines on Warthogs Z-95, so Plo had R7 cut his fighters engines and managed to get behind one of the fighters hitting it and sending the enemy fighter straight into one of the facilities towers. The last HH-87 was downed by Fenrir in the other Z-95 who then downed the two T.I.E's. However, for their victory, one of the gunships was shoot down and hit the wall of the volcano.

Meanwhile, Arguss had destroyed the controls and now the colonists were in more danger than before. The situation was brought to Anakin's attention who decided to use one of the stations turrets to take down the defenses. "I have to help my people." Ahsoka said as Robert downed another Zygerrian guard and reloaded his rifle. "Robert go with her." Anakin ordered. Robert nodded and followed Ahsoka to the area her people were at. At the same time, Ob-Wan had recovered his Lightsaber and Rex killed Arguss with an electro spear right through the chest.

As Anakin destroyed the last of the turrets, Ahsoka and Robert found out that they couldn't get the colonists from the holding cell to the landing pad, but Ahsoka had an idea. Her plan was to have the Hand of Justice move underneath the facility and allow the colonists to jump onto the ship. Admiral Coburn agreed. "You heard Commander Tano. I want men topside with jet-packs and cable guns." The admiral ordered Wolfe, Comet and Sinker.

The walls started to get closer and closer to the colonists as Zygerrian Guards arrived at the entrance and fired at the group, only to be downed by Roberts assault rifle just as the cruiser arrived.

Once the cruiser was in position, Wolfe and his men fired their cables attaching them to the roof and after they were assured by the two teenagers, the colonists began to descend to the ship. Two colonists almost fell to their deaths but Wolfe and Comet caught them just in time. "THIS THING IS FALLING APART!" Robert shouted as he and Ahsoka boarded the cruiser and Obi-Wan, Anakin, Rex and Artoo boarded a gunship.

Originally the Chancellor wanted the station intact, but the Jedi decided it was best to destroy the facility instead and a volley of missiles sent the structure down into the crater of the volcano, never to be used again.

The ordeal the colonists went through made it clear to Roshti that it was better for Kiros to join the republic, but he also mentioned that the separatists were looking for some weapons that the Togruta's may have had hidden on the planet but knew nothing about it.

"All this, just to get some weapons. If the separatists get them, then this war is going to be a lot longer than anyone wants." Ahsoka said to herself as she returned to her quarters. The second she sat down on her bed, she had a vision.

The sounds of screams and electrocution echoed all around her and she could have sworn that she saw Robert strapped to a table and injected with some kind of substance before the vision ended. "Robert, what happened to you?" she asked herself.

Robert in his quarters only sat on his bed and meditated before opening his eyes and revealing their yellow pupils. His darkness was beginning to grow more and more with each day.

Zygerrian Arc complete.

One more episode-based chapter to go before I get to the original stuff.

Looks like Robert has another dark part of his past. question is, does he remember it or does he not remember. The answers will be revealed in more exciting chapters of Lone Wolf the long Road.

Next time, the return of Lux Bonteri and Death Watch. Until then, please rate and review and Happy fourth of July to all you readers from the good old U.S.A.
