Thanks everyone who has been reading this. The chapters may skip a few weeks to a few months after some events like the show did. But I hope you all enjoy!

The Resolute was an active place even when the fleet was only traveling yet the buzz was mainly about General Kenobi and Commander Cody being abroad. Sitting on a crate in the hangar, Shadow watched as Lee and Brix wrestled one another with the rest of his squad. Others couldn't help but watch them as well finding it strange yet entertaining as the two sparred showing off their close combat skills.

"Lee, you're getting sloppy." Blade called out as Brix pinned Lee.

"Maybe he'd be better if he practices more with his hands than his guns." Ammo commented with a chuckle.

"Copanni mirshmure'cye, vod?" Lee called out breaking out of Brix's pin and tackling Ammo.

The two rolled across the floor, laughing as they tried to best the other as Wic shook his head at them smiling. Blade glanced over to Shadow while Swoop and Glider stood grinning at the scene going on before them with Brix. A small smirk found it's way onto Shadow's face before he launched himself into the fray much to the surprise of everyone watching except Night Squad. They wrestled for a few minutes before Shadow had both Ammo and Lee beat while grinning down at them.

"And this is why you're Captain." Ammo said quietly looking to Shadow.

"Yeah cause he can beat our asses whenever he wants." Lee laughed as the other two got to their feet.

"Language Lee." Blade told the trooper.

"Yeah yeah."

"Hey Blade, why don't you spar with the Captain?" Swoop asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Yeah Blade." Glide insisted. "Could be interesting plus you guys haven't sparred in awhile."

"What do you say, Lieutenant?" Shadow asked cracking his knuckles. "Think you can take me on?"

Blade shrugged, "Let's show them how to really fight."

Shadow grinned watching Blade closely as he walked over, his eyes also watching his Captain closely waiting. The rest of the squad stood back all grinning except Wic who knew how serious this could turn and the injuries that could follow though he was interested without showing it.

"Bet ya two of my ion grenades that Blade wins." Lee whispered to Brix.

Brix smiled glancing over at Lee, "I'll bet my vibrodagger on the Captain."

"You're on."

"Really guys?" Wic asked with a sigh. "You two are going to bet on this?"

"Ori'buyce kih'kovid." Glider said as Swoop chuckled.

The Captain and Lieutenant continued to circle one another until Blade moved stepping to the right before attacking with his left. Shadow avoided the attack, ducking beneath his fist then swept at Blade's legs trying to get him off his feet. Yet Blade was quick in jumping over the attack and backing away to put some distance between them. Shadow though wasn't going to allow that as he followed Blade letting loose a flurry of punches that the Lieutenant blocked. They traded blows moving quickly to block and retaliate, no one made a sound in the hangar as they fought.

"Give up yet, Blade?" Shadow asked as he maneuvered around to get Blade in a headlock.

"Not a chance, Captain." Blade answered hands on Shadow's arm.

In the next moment, Shadow found himself on his back slightly dazed after being flipped by Blade who stood grinning above him.

"Kandosii, Blade." Shadow muttered with a glint in his eye.

Blade stared down at Shadow until in a blink of an eye he found himself on his back with his Captain crouched by his side smiling.

"I think we can say that Captain Shadow has won." came a voice from them.

Turning the members of Night Squad were greeted by the sight of Generals Skywalker and Kenobi, Commander Tano, Captain Rex and Commander Cody walking them. Shadow helped Blade to his as they all stood at attention, saluting the commanding officers.

"At ease." Cody told them, looking everyone over.

As they all relaxed slightly Obi-wan Kenobi watched them, "So this is the Night Squad that I have heard so much about recently."

"It's an honor sir." Shadow said crossing his arms over his chest. "Though not many talk about us."

"That's not true Shadow." Ahsoka said with a smile on her face. "Boost, Comet and Sinker always have some story to tell."

Shadow shook his head as the rest of his Squad chuckled, "Those three will tell any story of their making."

"Gotta admit that their stories do make us look good sometimes." Swoop said smiling.

"Or themselves." Blade commented quietly.

"Mostly them." Glider agreed with Blade.

"Was there something that that you needed Generals?" Shadow asked.

Obi-wan shook his head as Anakin looked over at his Master, "No I just wanted to talk with you all before Anakin, Ahsoka and I go speak with the Coucil."

"Which we're late for Master." Ahsoka told them.

"Cody, we'll be back soon."

"Yes sir." Cody said with a nod.

The Jedi left leaving Night Squad with Captain Rex and Commander Cody and the relative silence of the hangar. Each trooper looked at one another unsure of what to do or say now as three other troopers joined the group.

"So Wolfpack, Captain Shadow?" one of the troopers , Jesse, asked.

Shadow glanced over at the gray wolf head on the black left shoulder armor and nodded slightly with a grin on his face.

"Yeah Commander Wolffe made me his right hand man for awhile before I was given command of Night Squad." Shadow answered. "Which reminds me that some of us need to add a little blue to our armor now."

"Yeah more colors." Lee mocked shaking his head.

"Better than that green I got." Brix muttered leaning toward Ammo.

"Or this yellow strip I got." Ammo replied quietly.

"You're all from different units?" a trooper, Hardcase, asked.

"Well yeah." Swoop answered tapping a blue star on the armor of his right arm above the black. "Before Captain Shadow brought us all together we were all on different ships, different Generals, and different roles. Except well I'm originally 501st and now I'm back."

"Speak for yourselves." Glider said looking to Wic. "Some of us knew one another before one disappeared."

"Not my fault I was recruited before you." Wic told them with a shrug.

"So none of you knew about the other before joining except Glider and Wic?" Kix asked looking at everyone. "Isn't that kinda dangerous for a squad like yours?"

"Not at all." Blade replied looking toward Rex and Cody. "Once we had our squad together again we went through intense training."

"Let's just say we were put through our paces." Brix said smiling.

Cody looked at Blade, there was something familiar about the trooper and then he noticed that there was a small almost unnoticeable stripe of yellow orange on the armor of his left hand.

"You were part of the 212th, Lieutenant?" Cody asked looking at Blade who nodded.

"Yes, sir." Blade answered with a nod. "I accompanied you and General Kenobi on a few missions before being recruited by Commander Wolffe."

"If you'll excuse me." Shadow spoke up. "I'm going to go for a bit. Boys, don't get into too much trouble. Sirs."

With a nod, the Night Squad Captain grabbed his helmet then walked away smiling to Rex and Cody as he walked between them. The rest of the Squad all shared a look as their Captain left before Lee and Brix started to laugh.

"No promises Captain!" Lee shouted, the response being a wave.

"You answer to Rex and Cody then." Shadow called back before disappearing.
