Chapter 7

Felucia's Aid

"Order 47: In the event a planet gets infested by hostile species that can not be tamed or easily sorted out, clone troopers are to commit genocide on the species till they are nearly extinct from the planet.

Order 48: In the event a planet gets overthrown by an overly hostile sentience civilization, await for Supreme Commander to give the confirm order to wipe out the sentience species."

-Orders 47 and 48 of Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic.

Multiple gunships began to appear in Felucia's atmosphere and slowly landed themselves in a clearing on the planet's surface. All around them there were plants of all kinds of types. However, now was not the time to think about it. The 41st had come here to aid the 327th in an operation they need aid on. And with Jax's regiment having nothing else to do, they accepted the request because of Commander Gree himself being busy on Kashyyk.

"I don't see them anywhere here, sir," Dakx stated as soon as the clones began to get out of the LAAT, "I believe their base is somewhere else."

"You are correct, Dakx. Their rather small outpost is to the South of us. It shouldn't be far, and it should be an easy trip," Jax replied.

"That's what they always say before they get ambushed or killed off one by one," Camo joked. Jax slightly chuckled at the joke, but he mostly just ignored its true meaning.

"Camo, this time you and your ARFs are going to stay with us. This planet has hostile creatures that could get in the way, as well as poisonous plants," Jax ordered.

"Yes sir..." Camo acknowledged. He was slightly disappointed in the order, but he knew that the Commander didn't want him to die, so he stuck to it. Behind both him and Jax, another Captain ran up behind Jax.

"Sir. Any orders?" It was Captain Spine. His armor has no unique coloring on it, just two green stripes down both of his arms.

"Just follow me, Captain," Jax began to walk towards the South.

Not so far behind, Captain Gamma and his 501st troopers, including Chip and Weaver, followed the 41st at the requested of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who thought made a great team with Jax's regiment. "Alright, all of you stay close. We don't want to loose anymore men than we already have," Gamma instructed. All of the 501st troopers sped up to catch up with Gamma and the 41st.

"I have a feeling we are going to be taking some losses today. But that is just what I think. This could be a smooth mission," Chipper spoke against the silence.

"I agree, Lieutenant. I have a very bad feeling about this," Allia agreed.

"When a Jedi thinks it is gonna happen, it bound to happen at any second," Clip said. Weaver started going slower and went behind Clip instead of being at his side.

"Sir, I can see something in the plants, I'm going to go check it out," Grasshopper warned Jax.

"Alright Lieutenant," Jax acknowledged. Grasshopper took Eco with him and they stepped towards the rustling. With their guns out, Grasshopper moved one of the plants out of the way when suddenly a giant foot smashed him. He was barely able to breathe as he tried to release himself.

"Gaaah!" Grasshopper screamed in pain, "Shoot it! Kill it! It's a rancor!" he shouted as he attempted to fire. He was stuck underneath the rancor's feat, and he couldn't move.

The rancor then grabbed Eco with his hand and swallowed him whole, but not before Eco let out a yell of fear, as he slid down the beast's slimy throat, and progressing to the stomach.

"Rancor! Get back, get back!" Jax ordered everyone. Both Allia and Dylan pulled out two green lightsabers and leaped on top of the Rancor to fight it. The Rancor roared loudly at all of the clones, as he picked Grasshopper up from under his feat and chewed him up before swallowing him. "Gamma, Camo, Dakx, get him stuck to the ground!"

The three of the clones got out a grapple and shot at the rancor, and shooting another grapple connected to them on the ground so they wouldn't fly into the rancor.

Dawnbreaker and Chipper started to step back as they fired at the rancor because of its tail which coming towards them and some 501st troopers. They managed to duck, along with two 501st troopers, but the rest of them where slammed so hard they were killed flying into one of the plants nearby.

Clip and Weaver rolled towards two 41st clones who where with them before the comrades near them were whipped to death. "So, Weaver, how much do you like rancors now?" Clip joked.

"They are better when I'm in the air," Weaver nervously replied. He didn't want to die. Not yet.

Jax began to climb up the rancor's back as other clones fired at him. He had an idea. Suddenly, he looked up and the rancor grabbed Allia off of his head. "Allia!" Jax began to climb up faster, and Dylan helped him up. The rancor's hand that was holding Allia was now above his mouth. Not wanting his Jedi General to die, he threw his vibroblade at the rancor's hand, which surprisingly cut it off his arm. However, his hand still held Allia and it fell into the Rancor's mouth, and right after that Dylan stabbed the rancor's brain, making it fall over.

"Allia?!" Jax shouted, now on the ground with Dylan. Captain Spine got off of the ground, along with the other clones and stepped up to Jax and Dylan, observing the rancor. Dylan stood their in shock.

"Wait, sir!" Captain Spine was now against the rancor's stomach, "I can hear something alive in here."

"I got it, Captain!" Jax rushed up to Spine, slightly pushing him away, and cut the rancor open. Grasshopper, Eco, and a few other clones where there along with a bunch of other animals, all slimy and dead. After pulling some of the bodies out, he found Allia trapped underneath them.

"Allia?" Dylan whispered. Jax reached out and dragged Allia out. She coughed and sat up straight.

"Oh... Hey Commander... Nice seeing you... here..." She slightly smiled at him and then looked at her brother, "You too..."

Camo and Gamma came up to help Dylan and Jax get Allia to her feat. The bottom half of her shirt was basically torn off by the rancor, allowing her belly to breath. The back of her shirt had a small rip in it, but it was hard to see.

Suddenly, they heard another wheeze. Camo went to check it out, and it was Eco. "Sir! Eco has managed to survive as well! We need two medics over here, stat!"

"You heard him, men! If you are a medic, come up and help these two!" Jax made Camo's order more strict than it was. Two clones stepped up and helped the two of them the best they could. Jax was relieved Eco was living, however he was more thankful that Allia was alive.

Jax carried both Allia and Eco over his shoulders since they had no other way to transport them to the outpost on Felucia. Others told him he should let one of them carry at least one of them, as they thought Jax was going to get too tired of carrying them. They were wrong, and Jax didn't let any of them help him carry the two of them. They both were of great importance, Eco was a good soldier and Allia was his general... but there was something else about her he couldn't resist.

After a couple miles of walking, Jax's regiment and what is left of Gamma's platoon arrived at the outpost on Felucia. It wasn't much, but it was still something. There, a clone of the 327th walked up to them. After saluting to the clones who walked up, he spoke.

"Hello, Commander and Captains. Welcome to Fell Outpost. Get the wounded inside. Commander Bly and other 327th clones haven't arrived yet. As of now, it is just a small platoon of us to help the 501st that is around here somewhere with General Aayla Secura. The name is Rekketh, by the way..." but most of the clones have already started walking into Fell Outpost, with Jax and a few others rushing in with Eco and Allia so they can obtain medical attention.

Rekketh's armor had yellow markings on it along with a yellow coyote head print on the top of his helmet, along with mircobinoculars. He had an orange pauldron and a belt with thermal detonators.

Rekketh slowly followed behind the other clones into the outpost. I guess they need help, and stat, Rekketh thought to himself as he entered the Outpost.

Some of the 41st and 501st troopers decided to go off on their own duties while in the outpost. Some stood guard while others did whatever they wanted while Commander Jax, Captain Camo, Captain Gamma and Sergeant Rekketh took the dying Allia and Eco into the outpost's medical bay.

Allia and Eco were placed on two separate tables. However, only one medical droid walked in instead of two. It would have to take care of both of its patients at the same time.

"In their condition, they will need some overnight rest," the medical droid was currently looking over Eco, then turned to Allia, "but they won't die."

"Finally, actual good news that I've heard here," Camo responded shortly afterwards. Jax only nodded, but he mainly hoped Allia was fine more then Eco.

"Sergeant," Jax turned to Rekketh, "Where is the current Captain of this outpost?"

Rekketh saluted to Jax before replying, "He is upstairs, sir."

Upstairs, Captain Ivan stared out the window at all of the plants that occasionally moved from side to side because of the wind, or a creature in the distance hunting. But other than that, he has seen it all before. In fact, he knows Felucia like the back of his hand. It was home to him, not Kamino.

Behind him, four figures walked up behind him. He turned towards them. He easily identified them as Commander Jax, Captain Camo, Captain Gama, and one of his own, Sergeant Rekketh. The reinforcements must of finally arrived.

"Hey there, Commander and Captains! Welcome to Fell Outpost! I hope you enjoy your stay here," Captain Ivan announced. He seemed like a nice guy to the others.

Captain Ivan's helmet was shaped like a paratrooper's helmet and had a large yellow stripe on top of it. His armor was mainly grey except for the yellow markings on it. He had a 327th pauldron and a yellow cape as well.

"Thank you, Captain. What is the current status of the base?" Jax questioned Ivan.

"It is all fine, sir. It was actually getting boring around here until you guys should up with the wounded," Captain Ivan reported, "For now, get some rest. I believe you have had a busy trip here."

Gamma broke in before Jax was able to respond, "Thanks, Ivan," and gave Ivan a nod. In return he got a nod back. They all went down stairs and seemed to blend in with all of the other clones there.

"Looks like we're gonna need a bigger outpost," Camo joked.

Out in the wilderness of Felucia, a trandoshan was chasing a female human. Both where athletic and agile and dodged all of the plants with ease, however the female was faster and was able to dodge the plants with more ease. The trandoshan was getting tired, but this wasn't a job. This was personal.

The woman had a red trench coat that went down until it was 2 inches away from the beginning of her feat. Her trench coat was opened just like she preferred, showing the little amounts of clothing underneath. Her shirt didn't cover her stomach or above her chest. It only covered her chest and was made of cotton. Similar to her pants, also made of cotton. Her short pants went around her waist and went down her legs and ended when there was nothing in between them. Her diamond blue eyes shined from the sun. Her brown hair ranged far down her back and over her chest. In her hair, she had two flowers someone given her. She also had a locket around her neck which was made with silver and a diamonds.

The trandoshan chasing her had mossy green scales and deadly sharp teeth. On his face he had a scar from abuse he had when he was younger. What he was wearing at the moment was a stealth suit along with a matching helmet to hide his identity, along with a jetpack and electrobinoculars. On his right wrist he had a gatling gauntlet and on his left arm he had tally marks of his kills. He had worn claws on his feet from running and chasing after multiple targets. On his thighs, which where hidden by his armor, he had tribal tattoos.

During their run, the target finally tripped over a root, her trench coat got grass and some dirt on it from the fall. But worse was the trandoshan caught up with here. "Ha ha ha. Luna, you will make a great trophy when I have ended you. Just lay back and relax. The scorekeeper will be pleased," hissed the trandoshan. He aimed a LS-150 Heavy Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Gun and Luna, who was able to move her back from the ground and turn to the bounty hunter.

"You wouldn't dare do that, Killjoy. Not only could I shoot first, but even if you were able to kill me, my brother would be on the hunt for you. And you do not want to mess with the Terrorly family in the first place," Luna threatened with a deadly glare, then she spat at Rungi "Killjoy" Mu'Krak.

Rungi ignored the spat and aimed his LS-150 closer to Luna's head. Luna didn't worry. She had a plan.

Before Rungi knew what happened, Luna removed her DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol and gave Rungi a warning shot by shooting his gun from his scaled hands.
