Chapter 19

When prime regained conscious he didn't recognize his surroundings, the sky was filled with smoke and all around him were injured clones, and rubble. Sitting up before a Medic forced to lie back down gently, "Careful sir, you took quite the hit there."

"Status report trooper." Prime said, his helmet was removed and raised a hand to his forehead, and felt the bandaged that was wrapped around his head.

"Explosion sir, took out the whole compound, many clones lie dead if not wounded. Me and the other two medics have our hands full. Those who can still move left a few minutes ago to help commander Fenn face the mercenary responsible…. They should be back by now." The Medic said in worry.

"They must still be fighting….Trooper, stand me up."

The medic helped Prime to his feet putting prime's arm over his shoulder so he can support the Commander's weight. "Sir I suggest you stay out of the fight for now, you suffered a concussion and as the Medic I recommend that you sit down and rest."

Prime understood and let the Medic guide him to a piece of rubble where Prime sat down. "What about the General?"

"The General is facing off against Fenrir, Commander Skywalker is on his way here to provide back up, and the General said he would hold of Fenrir till we are done here. And our cruiser is on its way back and would arrive within 20 minutes."

"If we manage to capture Fenrir the Separatist would lose one of their most dangerous assets."

"And hopefully get some information out of him." The medic said knowing how important the capture of the Fenrir would be.

"And we will finally get to rip of that dreadful mask. I lost many Men and scene many Jedi fall from that bastards hand."

Fenrir vs. Zack

The clash of Light sabers echoed over the dying embers that surrounded the two force users, he colors of Red, silver and purple flashing in a dangerous and harsh battle. Zack Took control of the tempo by engaging Fenrir with the full force of Vapaad, his mastery of the form could only be matched by its creator Mace Windu. Blessed with the natural strength and Endurance of his species the Gaian Jedi caused his opponent to hesitate with his counters. Out of fear that during the small opening Zack would break past his defense. No truly indeed this was not like Hypori.

The fighters locked blades for a moment Zack leaning over his shorter opponent, 'There is a reason why I told Anakin to head back." Zack disengaged and stuck again striking nothing but air before rotating his wrist into the proper angle to deflect the silver and red blades that descended upon him. Zack pushed the blades aside extending his opponent's arms far enough to create a small opening where Zack shoulder tackled into the Masked man's chest with enough force to knock him off his feet.

Falling at an awkward angle Fenrir turned his light sabers off as he used the momentum to roll back onto one knee, turning them back on in time to stop Zack's light saber from cutting him in half with a cross block. Pushing Zack back with enough force to cause the taller man to stumble back, Fenrir quickly brought his arms in front of him gathering enough force as extended his arms forward, palms aiming squarely for Zack's chest. Fenrir took a moment to exhale as his brother was launched backwards a couple of yards. And as he took in more air to breath he used the force to close the distance.

Zack quickly flipped in air as he positioned himself to land feet first while facing his enemy, and luckily so, for before his feet touched the ground the masked assassin was within striking distance. Zack found himself in a extremely dangerous situation as when his feet touched ground his weapon came in contact with a blur of silver. Zack stood his ground skidding and parrying away blurs of silver and red. Zack saw Fenrir take a large step forward and too advantage. Parrying one more time he used his free hand to reach forward and grasped Fenrir's tunic before falling onto his back and placing his feet on the assassin's chest and catapulting his enemy behind him as he quickly hoped back onto his feet.

Fenrir didn't know how but he knew he was in the air, quickly adjusting his body, like a cat he landed on his feet only to see a purple light saber spinning in his direction Ducking underneath the blade like a game of limbo the weapon flew past him as Cloud stood back up to find a Fist in his face. Despite wearing a helmet the punch had enough force to stun Cloud long enough for Zack to disarm Cloud after a few jabs into the abdomen. Fenrir saw the world turn upside down as he was flipped over Zack's shoulder.

Zack still holding onto Fenrir he quickly maneuvered himself over Fenrir's downed position his right hand in the air as his light saber flew back into his hand. The familiar weight of his weapon back in his dominate hand he brought the tip of the blade downward towards Fenrir's mask only to feel something push his blade a few inches off target, impaling the ground. Before Zack could realize what happened his body was electrified and launched backward from the unexpected shock.

If Cloud could be honest he would admit that what just happened was pure instinct. After finding himself on the ground he noticed the purple blade descending and instinctively he used the force to push the blade off its course. Only to counter with some Force Lightning on Zack, and once the older of the two was sent flying from the blast of energy, Cloud quickly got back up taking a moment to regain his Barings. After realizing what just happened Cloud reached with the force to recall his light sabers.

Zack hit the ground hard, his light saber falling out his hands as his brain tried to register what just happened. He was just about to finish the fight only for the assassin to use the force in an act of desperation. Trying to shake of the numb feeling he felt all over his body Zack made it to his knees before hearing the igniting of a Light saber. Looking up he saw the crimson blade of his enemy raised. Before His enemy could bring the weapon down, Zack raised his hand bending the force to his will, catching the red blade.

Cloud's eyes widened wide in shock, having only scene Vincent stop a Light saber with his hand, but his brother caught it using only the force. Zack reached down deep into the force as he brought up his other arm in a violent motion that caused The masked figure to fly back far into the cliff's wall the toward above. Cloud fell from the wall landing ungracefully like a sack of potatoes as he hit the floor his light sabers falling out of his hands. Fenrir tried to regain his breath as he blinked out the black spots that filled his vision.

Not once has Cloud ever been hit with the force with so much, well force. Only had his master Kreia had ever came close from the pure force of that attack. And she had many years to develop such a mastery, and yet his brother who is only two years older. Not even Barret had that much raw power. Slowly getting back to his feet he reclaimed his Light sabers, gripping tightly as he felt the dark side surge within him. Anger consumed Cloud at the thought that his brother could be just as powerful as he has gotten. Even though Cloud has one of the best swordsmen as a master through Dooku, and the oldest and wisest master who teaches both the light and dark. If one could see under the mask, Cloud held the most sinister shade of yellow in his eyes as he hungered for more power.

Zack finally straightened up as he now held his light saber in a defensive position waiting for how Fenrir would act. His eyes slowly drifted above the man where he could see the imprint of the man's body on the cliff face. Then suddenly his eyes were focused back upon Fenrir as he felt a harsh coldness resonate from the Man. For a moment Zack thought he saw the grass around the man's feet grow pale in color, and the soil becoming dry.

'It's as if, he is a wound in the force.' Zack thought before getting ready for his opponent as he saw the Kuro-Shikon stance. Although it looked different and somehow more malicious. Zack felt a cold sweat on his neck. 'I have never felt such evil.'

The inside of Kriea's Holocron.

The elder woman was meditating within the small pyramid shaped holocron before she felt an echo in the force. She was watching over her new student through the force, when she noticed something change. Her body tensed as her eyes opened with a sense of mirth. 'The new Lord of Hunger has awakened.' At that moment Kreia felt a presence so cold she could never forget it, and even though no words were spoken she could understand the coldness. 'It's true, you still hold power here, but your time has gone and past, just as mine has…. He is your successor, but I won't make the same mistake with him as I did with you, my former apprentice.' The coldness somehow made Kreia struggle to breath, before she used the force to push the cold away making it easier to breathe. 'When you were a defeated you were a shell of what you once were, and a shell you remain in the afterlife. Now is not the time for you to awake, so now you must sleep, sleep until the time he is ready to face you.' Kreia bent the force to her will causing the cold to disappear and the darkness to slowly fade.

'After all my young apprentice has only just learned his first steps, Fenrir still has to grow, and this war will help accelerate his growth.'

Zack VS. Fenrir

Zack was in the fight of his life, whoever he was facing before was gone, not there was anything but the very embodiment of the dark side. Gone was the finesse and precise movements of the man who called himself Fenrir, and now was the beast he only encountered briefly on Hypori. For once in his Life Zack was feeling the wear and tear of a tiring duel. He didn't have time to think, instead he was going through the drills of defensive moves by instinct, blocking parrying over and over as Fenrir hack and slashed in rapid violent motions that numbed Zack's arms with each blow he was force to absorb through a block.

Zack exhausted force jumped away far enough to get some breathing room. Watching how his opponent moved was mesmerizing. Even after his crazy assault the man moved as fluent and smooth as he did, slowly turning to face Zack. Zack stared into the black holes the represented the eyes on the mask and saw, felt nothing but darkness. 'He is no assassin. He is Sith.'

Fenrir took one step forward which was enough to make Zack tense in anticipation knowing how quickly the Sith could close distance. Before a beeping sound echoed in the oddly silent terrain. There was a hesitation in Fenrir's movements as the masked man stiffened and the cold dark feeling receded. Still on Guard Zack took this time to calm his nerves.

"Hold on I'm on my way." What happened next caught Zack off guard, expecting the man to leap forward the assassin back flipped away then jumping to the top of the Cliff. Realizing the man was running away Zack snapped out of his shock and quickly pursued. 'I can't let him escape.'

Cloud was lost in the dark side, his hunger for more power caused him to dig deeper than he has ever before. Then it was like the force guided his movements, as he tried to murder his own brother. Growing more frustrated when each strike failed to quench his lust for death. He didn't even know what his body was doing all he wanted was more power and to watch his brother's head roll.

It wasn't until Yuffie radioed him in his helmet that she needs assistance for a second Jedi now confronted her. In worry Cloud was yanked out of the dark side's grasp as he reclaimed his body, and quickly made this way to the speeder he parked above on the cliff.

Completely ignoring his brother and what had just happened his mind was filled with thoughts of being on time to save Yuffie. Cloud didn't even realize His brother cashing after him when Cloud started his speeder.

Zack frowned when he made it to the top of the Cliff, for all he had time to see was Fenrir speeding away on a speeder. Cursing under his breath Zack jumped back down from the cliff to where he parked his speeder, making a mental note to come back later for the dead bodies of the clones who perished.

Yuffie Vs. Ann Fenn

Yuffie Parried away a strike from the Young Jedi in front of her while taking a moment to fire the blaster in her left hand at one of the many clones trying to surround her. While half the time her shots hit nothing but the pieces of debris and rock that the clones used for cover. She did nail a few fatal targets such as the neck. Most shots that did connect though either hit parts of the clones that would simply take them out of the fight, but they could still survive.

Normally Yuffie would be sick at her marksmen ship right now since she never had her accuracy this low of a percentage. Yuffie had to give the teen age Lethan Twi'lek, the red Jedi was skilled enough to make Yuffie focus more on deflecting the light saber other than aiming at clones.

Yuffie saw an opening as she somersaulted under the now predictable strike from the padwan. Snaking out her dagger in the quick moment she rolled by the younger girls legs successfully creating a shallow but nasty gash. Ann collapsed to her knee with the sudden pain giving an easy kill shot for Yuffie as the mercenary lined up her blaster. Ann looked up to see the mercenary aim her blaster at her head, and before she could react the blaster went off.

Ann moved as quickly as she could using her Light sabers reach to deflect at the last possible second, before the sound of a clone gasp in shock. Ann turned to the sound to see a dead clone with a blaster mar on his chest. It took a moment for Ann to realize that the shot she deflected was the reason the clone now lay lifeless.

The remaining three clones stared in shock while Yuffie took advantage and shot another clone right between the eyes. Making the other two duck back for cover while Ann charged the Bounty hunter, doing her best to ignore the pain from the new gash on her lower thigh the padwan brought around her double sided light saber in rash yet fluid strikes using form IV, as best as she could The quick acrobatic like movements using the form mixed with her double bladed light saber was an extremely difficult skill to use effectively but it has saved the young Jedi's life several times in this fight.

Meanwhile Yuffie now favored a unique style of combat using the golden Knife to parry and counter the Jedi's light saber while using one of her blasters to through the Twi'lek off, or to pick of the annoying clones who make it near impossible to maneuver around the Jedi to the more fatal openings. This fight has gone on in a constant flow of movement where Yuffie parried rolled fired, and repeated the action making few adjustments to the pattern to through off her enemies.

Speaking of which Yuffie side rolled to the right avoiding the blaster bolt that came from a clone. The Gaian didn't have time to retaliate as she quickly backed away simultaneously parrying the light saber away from her body. Leaving the Jedi open for another shot, but Yuffie took a blaster bolt to the helmet that knocked her off her feet.

Ann fell to her knee after the Mercenary parried her last attempt, the blood loss starting to take a toll. She had many small minor cuts all around her body but they didn't bleed too much, but the new gash on her leg was constantly letting a river flow. Luckily Ann had the clones backing her up as one nailed a headshot. Turning to see the mercenary slowly rise to her feet, Ann was a little disappointed the shot didn't penetrate completely through the helmet.

Yuffie's vision was haze and her helmet was now malfunctioning, there was a sharp buzzing tone that was starting to hurt her ears. Taking off the helmet Yuffie stood back up wobbling trying to recover from the shot that kept her eyes blurry. Luckily the clones where to cautious to keep firing fearing the marksmen ship of the woman. 'Lord Fenrir better hurry." A clone poked his head out to get a shot before a blaster made its way clean through his visor. Yuffie finally regained her vision and killed the clone that damaged her helmet, the other one popping out and firing in retaliation successfully getting three shots on the Gaian's torso, but the armor was tougher than a Super battle droid. Yuffie upset that the clone had just left scorch marks on her armor enjoyed making a neat hole in the clone's helmet.

"You know I have to give it to you kid, first you manage to make my thrusters malfunction then you and your clone buddies managed to prolong this fight." Yuffie said the thrusters attached to her armor around the feet nothing but black burnt metal. "I thought for a moment we were bonding before you guys forced me to shoot ya." Yuffie said as she shot at the Jedi while walking towards the down Ann, barely having the strength to support her Light saber held weakly managing to deflect the shot. "13 against one was just unfair don't you think." She said firing again managing to make Ann drop her Light saber.

"Then you ruined my helmet and my armor, and the punishment is death." Yuffie said holding the blaster now at point blank, while Ann stared into the barrel of the blaster. Ann watched the face of her soon to be killer. The merc had a false smile on her face while her eyes held no emotion just disdain. Ann simply smiled and gave a small laugh at the woman.

Yuffie frowned as she heard the woman laugh, "You jedi sure are strange." And Yuffie pulled the trigger, or she would have if the sound of a light saber turning on didn't grab her attention. By only instinct Yuffie managed to side step the overhead strike from none other than Anakin Skywalker. Yuffie didn't have time to counter as she was force pushed away.

"Well I'm glad you came," Ann said before passing out from blood loss. Anakin would have made a witty comment but after watching his fellow padwan faint he faced the culprit with a serious face.

"You must Anakin Skywalker; you know you have created quite the rep. Not many have survived an encounter against Fenrir, or best Ventress in combat. Especially as a Padwan." Yuffie said her hair flowing in the wind giving a pleasant feeling as the cool feeling she got due to the sweat created a small luxury. Yuffie was exhausted, her armor can take plenty of blaster bolts but it is heavy and moving the way she did in the previous fight has her tired. Hopefully she can buy a few minutes to recover with conversation.

"You know on my way back here I felt two dark impressions on the force, on was clearly Fenrir, and the other is somewhere farther away. You and Fenrir must obviously be the decoy to your plan, what is the other acolyte doing."

"Honestly I can say you Jedi never stop to impress, 1st that girl did a number to me and now you discovered our plan, although you figured it out too late. Your forces are devastated, your friend there is bleeding to death, and the other Jedi will die by Fenrir's hand. Even the remaining clones are too injured to help you now; I won't blame you if you retreat now so you don't die alongside them."

"Well I suggest you look behind you 1st before you think you won." Anakin said with a smirk. Yuffie realized something was up but it was too late by the time she turned she was hit with a stun blaster from Commander Prime.

"Even injured I could still best a cocky merc." The commander said leaning on a medic who helped position Prime behind the Yuffie. Prime quickly sat down on the floor dropping his rifle as the medic rushed to Ann. Anakin smile fondly towards the clone,

"While it was nice for you to come by and stun her, I thi9nk I would have enjoyed putting her down myself." Anakin said to the Clone.

"Sorry Skywalker, but she was mine, that harlot took down several of my brothers, I only wish I could do the same. But she is worth more alive than dead."

"Can you move on your own?"

"Yeah I'm good, damn medics treats us like children when were injured. We should probably get her bound."

"Good idea, get started on that while I get an update on the reinforcements." Anakin said as he walked towards the Medic to check on Ann before pulling up coms. Prime merely sighed as he rolled Yuffie onto her stomach cuffing her arms behind her back.

"Master Darté, what's your eta." Anakin said waiting for the other Jedi to respond.

"We will be arriving in about five minutes Commander Skywalker what's the situation down there."

"The compound has been destroyed as long as this month's supplies for the civilians. We got many casualties and even more wounded, Commander Fenn is unconscious and General Fair is engaging one of the enemies, and we caught the other. But I believe there may be one more out there."

"Understood we are preparing shuttles for once we hop out of hyper space. It seems you guys left a larger mess for me to clean up this time." Anakin simply shook his head at the joking tone of the Jedi master. Roblio Darté was the Jedi they were going to bring to replace Zack and Fair on the relief effort and to help with the clean up.

"Well we weren't expecting guest master….." Anakin suddenly turned around as his sense someone approaching and in the distance he could see a man on a speeder heading this way.

"Anakin what's wrong?" Roblio asked in concern hearing the padwan drop his sentence.

"Fenrir is coming…..and Master Fair is nowhere in sight." Both Jedi became worried for their friend and Darté even more so.

"Listen Anakin if possible get everyone out of there, If Fenrir could Defeat Zack he can wipe out the rest of you just the same."

"Sorry master even if we had time to do that, I'm the only one able to last even ten second against Him. I'm going to have to hold him off until you guys get here."

There was a slight pause in Roblio's response, "Understood, be careful Anakin."

"Aren't I always?" Anakin said as the speeder finally got close enough for the man to dismount. Anakin could see that the black and silver lined tunic of Fenrir's was tattered, but the man still looked ready for another fight. Anakin ignited his light saber as he walked towards Fenrir. While Fenrir in turn ignited his crimson light saber in his right hand walking towards Anakin, his movements similar to Dooku's Light saber form and everything.

"The last time we fought was back on Geonosis. I have grown much more powerful since then, and I won't make the same mistakes." Anakin said reminiscing about his prosthetic arm. Although Anakin was hoping to buy some time with Talking, Fenrir simply raised the blade in front of his face just as Dooku dose signifying that he is about to duel. A formality taught back at the academy that became a signature to Dooku's saber style.

Fenrir had been working on his Makashi mirroring and copying as much as possible from his masters techniques, although he preferred Dooku's style of Kriea's and choosing to learn from the count help deepen the bond the father and son had. While Cloud may not have the accuracy and skill for the position he has developed the foot work that Dooku's unique form II style requires.

Once Fenrir was 15 meters away from Anakin the dark Jedi rushed forward with the force, engaging with the rugged style of his father. Anakin, like many other Jedi who haven't face him more than once, was thrown off balance by the sudden engagement, but since he was somewhat familiar with Dooku's style he was able to defend himself against the onslaught. But it wouldn't last long for with each strike Anakin was forced to take a step or two back.

Cloud's mind was purely focused on the duel. Lunge, pivot, overhand slash, jab, parry, and spin underhand strike and a constant combination of moves that prevented Anakin the chance to put up an offensive. The young human male impressed the 'Acolyte'.

'This man was able to defeat my apprentice in combat, Skywalker, how fast can you grow?' Fenrir saw Anakin jump back in attempt to get some breathing room, but Cloud took advantage of his free hand and pushed the padwan further than the Jedi expected him to crash into what used to be a wall. Fenrir watched with indifference as the wall crumbled on top of Anakin. Taking the time to look around. Cloud noticed that several clones where dead and little was left of the compound except for debris and a few walls still standing. Then he saw her, Yuffie being dragged away by an injured clone while another was carrying a red Twi'lek.

But before Fenrir could act he spun past a piece of rubble that was thrown his way by Anakin. The Yong Jedi leaped forward with an overhead slash only for his target to pivot around him striking at his side, thinking quickly Anakin twisted his body in an awkward angle so he can block the attack, succeeding in saving his life but failing to land properly on the ground. Landing shoulder first and rolling across the flat grass that did little to cushion his fall.

Anakin new that to spend too much time not facing his opponent meant death, so by instinct he Used his light saber to deflect any possible attack and rolled his way back onto his feet. Spin quickly to face his opponent his light saber already raised to defend himself only to find out his opponent hasn't moved from his spot yet, but instead was looking off to the side. Following the Assassin's gaze he saw another man on a speeder coming their way. And suddenly Anakin felt hope rise. Master Fair still lived and was about to arrive within the minute.

Cloud sensed his brother was about to arrive so while he watched as the distant speeder came closer, he quickly radioed Quilan Voss. "Voss are you finished yet. Because we have run out of time within a few minutes the republics reinforcements would arrive and things aren't so good over here."

"Yeah were done for now, it seems that Dooku's information was wrong, the Rakatan Artifact were false, I'm already boarding the shuttle and will be making my way shortly to pick you up."

"No forget that, take the shuttle back to the strife, and get out of here. Once I'm captured I will need you to break my out, we are going with my last resort plan, Operation Clean Sweep."

"So I finally get to see your droids in action."

"They will help you sabotage and Regain our equipment, you just have to clear the prison blocks in the Jedi cruiser."

"If they take off your helmet, I'm going to make sure to look at your ugly face." Quilan Voss joked making Cloud smile under his mask, glad to keep one of his old friends even though Voss didn't know yet.

Noticing Anakin was distracted Fenrir used the small opening to lift the padwan into the air, earning a surprised yell. Fenrir slowly applied pressure around Anakin's neck causing the Young Jedi to drop his Light saber and struggle to breath. It was at this point Zack finally arrived never stopping his speeder, instead bailing the fast vehicle letting it head straight for Cloud.

Cloud reacted by throwing the padwan at Zack while holding his crimson light saber in a reverse grip his right arm stretched in front of hill as the speeder was split straight down the middle the two halves going past Cloud leaving him unharmed. Once the two half's hit the ground they exploded setting the grass behind Fenrir on fire, the black smoke rising behind him. Still holding the light saber in a reverse grip Cloud used his free hand to activate his silver blade the blade crossing his lower body diagonally.

Zack Caught Anakin with the force gently putting down the padwan. Once back on the ground Anakin recalled his light saber through the force while rubbing his sore neck. Zack simply held his light saber in front of him in the same stance his Master does.

"Are you alright Anakin?" Zack said his eyes never leaving the sith.

"I was holding my own pretty well."

"I noticed," Zack said jokingly, before getting serious again. "What about Ann?"

"She has passed out due to blood loss, and is currently being taken care of by the Medics, Prime is with her but not in the best shape either, only three medics are taking care of the wounded, the rest…" Anakin said looking at the corpses littered around the piles of rubble. "Are gone. We captured the mercenary responsible for the attack here, but I believe there is…"

"One more yes, I felt it too, but his presence is gone he is no longer on the planet. He abandoned his group." Zack said cutting of his best friend's student. "You already know as well as I do, your third man has left you and the Merc, your ride out of this mess is gone. Any moment now republic forces will show and you will be out matched. Surrender now, you lost!" Zack called in a loud voice so that Fenrir could hear him.

That's when Anakin's coms blared to life, "Commander Skywalker I hope you're still alive, we have arrived." Sure enough a republic cruiser appeared in the atmosphere with gunships already on their way down. While leaving a smile to appear on the two Jedi's face knowing they gained a major victory in capturing the Dooku's most dangerous assassin.

"Very well, I surrender." Fenrir said deactivating his Light sabers letting the two Jedi take them via the force. Fenrir sat in a Meditative pose, while the gunships landed around him and the Jedi forming a perimeter around them. Many clones went about helping the injured and rounding up the dead, while a fire team was lead by Master Darté. Master Darté was a Human male with blonde hair Braided into many strands and a full trimmed beard a shade lightly darker than his hair; he had blue eyes and a light colored skin. His Light saber was dangling off his belt the hilt having a forked design to his hilt with a second emitter 45 degrees angled away from the main emitter

"Well it sure is good to see you're still alive Zack, when Anakin called and said he would be facing Fenrir alone I assumed the worst." Zack nodded respectfully to the other Jedi master having served back in the academy days at the same time, Zack graduating nearly a decade later due to his slower growth rate as a Gaian. The two however still managed to become close friends, during the war. Roblio looked at the meditating figure as clones carefully cuffed the man's arms and tried to force him up. He was actually surprised to see the assassin response with little to no defiance as he was escorted to a gun ship. "I'll watch over Fenrir and make sure he is secured in a cell. Take the wounded on board and then meet me in the prison blocks so we can begin interrogating our new prisoner.

Zack nodded as Roblio boarded the Gun ship with Fenrir and made his way back to the cruiser, Anakin quickly went along the way helping troops identify the dead, telling them that where the transports have been destroyed are more dead troops.

Zack himself helped his apprentice onto the gunship, where she was being taken care of, passing a hand across her cheek he knew she would be fine. Glad that she survived her first day in the war. Even though The republic lost a fair amount of troops and supplies in this small battle the losses, as it pains him to say, where severely out weighed in the victory of capturing Fenrir.
