I do not own Star wars, although I do own Caitlyn and Darman.. (Yes I know Darman is also a clone, I figured that out two chapters ago...)
Time skip! 2 years pass a the clone wars rage around them. Anakin and Obi-Wan have given up all hope of finding Caitlyn. Separatists are starting to tip the scales along with Anakin who is tipping closer to the dark side...
In the mean time Caitlyn, as Mand'lor has something inportant to do...
Boba turned over in his bed. He got to live in the same house as Caitlyn, thanks to some constant bothering of his dad. He slept light, easy awakened by the slighted of sounds. When Boba heard the creek of his bed strain under more weight his eyes opened slowly.
He was staring in to Caitlyns happy face. "Caitlyn, What the hell are you doing here? In my room?!"
Caitlyn smile widened. "Sulo, trer talyuo!"Caitlyn said quickly. Boba stared at her, sometime she spoke gibberish and it didn't help everyone else knew exactly how to speak it too and didn't translate."Come on, Boba! Don't up know what today is?!"
"No." Boba said, his voice flat. He tried to get up but he was pinned to his bed by Caitlyn.
"It's your 13th birthday! Your training is complete!" Caitlyn rolled off the bed and hit the floor with a thud. "Also two other kids are turning 13 today, the boy with dark red armor, Bevig and the girl with blue armor, Sareai. They already starting."
Boba got up and started to change in to his armor. It was a forest green with red visor trim. He slipped outside and sat down for a second, taking a deep breath of air. farther away a small speck of a fire was visible, along with a not so small scent of a Nerf cooking. Boba ran along the interwoven tree branches, he had trouble tree-running at first, but soon he was able to do it just as well as everyone else.
"Het Bob'ika! Nice to see your awake!" Bevig yelled. Bevig was Boba's training partner, they often spared together. Bevig had short blond hair and green eyes.
"Thanks, Bev'ika.So your training is complete the same day as mine. Dose than mean you'll finaly beat me in a sparring match?" boba asked as he sat down beside Bevig. Bevig glared at him and punched him on the shoulder. Boba didn't respond.
"I can't belive three different people are done their training on the same day. And none are related too." Huyite said. She wasn't born on Mandalore, but adopted by someone who brought her here.
A sudden bird cry from above brought everyones eyes to the trees. A couple of birds sat there, Stelth Hawks.
"Hey look its Ru." Bevig said and he whistled. A hawk with two black slashes above his eyes flew down and landed on Bevig arm. "Boba this is Ru. He was my brother's until he died." A slight sadness tinged his voice. He took a peice of meat and gave it to Ru, who took the meat and flew off.
"Hey, Boba, nice armor." Boba turned to see Zam standing there yawning. She didn't get armor because she was Clawdite. Zam was fine about that. "Your 13? When I first met you you were so small, now your really tall." It was true. Boba was know 5 feet tall, his head had been shaved to a Jango-like haircut. He really looked like his dad now.
Boba blushed a bit but turned back around and joined in talking with the group of people. Jokes, food and drinks were being passed around, everyone getting a fair share of food. Caitlyn sat across the fire from him. her tanned skin highlighted by the fire and her armor glimmering. Caitlyn knew how to make a fire with out the heat. The wood was burning, but the heat was being sucked out by something, Boba didn't care. He watched as Caitlyn was using her hands to tell a story.
"Boba are you okay?" Boba shook his head and looked at Caitlyn who now was staring curiously at Boba.
"I'm fine." He murmured. He just realized he had been staring at Caitlyn. It isn't my fult she's pretty.Boba mentally slapped him self and decided to pay attention to the story.
A day later everyone had slept in except for ones on gurad duty. Boba had a 6:00 am shift with Caitlyn. Boba climbed though the trees, Caitlyn following. Whwen they reached the edge of the trees they loked over the feild with careful eyes. Boba spotted a human figure moving across the feild to the woods. Boba signaled to Caitlyn Human male. North east heading this way.
Caitlyn nodded and signaled back, Ambush in store for him, be careful of any weapons.
So they waited the man was in his early 30's and had dirty blond hair. He was wearing Mando armor, although it was plain of any color except gray. He was missing a hement.
Boba and Cailtyn were staring at the man waiting. The minute he stepped under the tree.
BAM! Bardan hit the ground. He felt a weight on top of him, and heard another person landing next to him. He groaned quietly a bit and lifted his head up. He saw a armored girl standing in front of him staring down at him with malice. The weight on his back did not disappear. "What are you doing here!?" the girl voice sounding familiar, Bardan spit a bit of dirt out of his mouth before answering.
"Looking for a clan of Mando'ad." He said. The girl snorted. Bardan saw her hand reach out and suddenly his lightsaber flew from his belt to her hand. He looked up in surpise at the girl. She held the lightsaber and studied it, her helmet tipped a bit to show she was actualy studying the weapon she was holding. She turned it on and a blue blade sprung to life in her hands.
"What the hell would a jedi playing Mando want to find us for?" The weight holding his down spoke, and boy about 13 by the sound.
"Can you get off me?" Bardan asked he felt the weight disappear off him but then a strong hand pulled him up. He was taller than the girl. Her armor a shiny purple with dull blue trim around the visor. The boys armor he had not seen, yet. "Can you bring my to your Manda'lor?"
"I am the Manda'lor,Why are you here again?" the girl snapped, still holding the lightsaber in her hand.
"Let me go and I'll tell you." Bardan said clamly. The girls helmet tilted them nodded and the hand pinning arms behind him let go. The boys armor was forest green with red trim. "I am here with injured clones. I've tried to heal them but my healing will only go so far."
Silence hung thick in the air. Finally the girl took off her helmet and shook out her brown hair staring long in to Bardan's eyes. "We'll help you, me and him both, but can not tell the others in the camp once we go back."
"Wait, before we go, whats your name?" Bardan asked. He was curious. The girl looked very familar, it was nagging him.
"Bardan," The girl paused smiling, "My name is Caitlyn. Former apprentice of Mace Windu." She put her helmet back on. "Lead the way hope you can run fast." She threw his lightsaber back to him and Bardan started to run, using the Force to push him faster.
4 minutes later Bardan arrived at the gunship he had landed here. Opening the door he saw the 15 clones standing there. One clone looked up, he had a defeated look on his face. "Sir, all the clone except Dar are in stable condition. Dar isn't fairing to well." The clone motioned to a clone that looked pretty banged up.
"Bard'ika,you're back." Bardan turned to see a man with brown hair and blue eyes sitting next to a different clone. "Found your clan yet?"
"Yes, I did Kal." He motioned to Caitlyn and Boba.
"Them? They look a bit small don't they?" Kal Skirata said as Caitlyn walked over to the dieing clone.
Caitlyn hands passed over his face. She gazed down looking over the wounds. They were bad and infected. She quickly made a small notion with her hand and a blue mist arose over the clone trooper's body. The gunships air turned heavy with humidity, them the wounds started to close. When the last wound disappered the clone opened his eyes. A young boy, about 3 ran over and tugged on the clone's hand. "Dad?"
The clone turned his sat up and studied over the boy. "Venku, I'm fine now." The boys dark eyes shone and he looked up at Caitlyn."Darman, I would like you to meet Caitlyn and Boba. They are from the clan we will live in." Bardan said. All of a sudden everyone's eyes snapped over to the young boy in green armor standing next to Caitlyn. Kal stood up and walked over to him.
Kal blue eyes studied Boba seriously. "You're Jango's son aren't you?"
"Why should that matter to you? Aliit ori'shya tal'din."Boba snapped. his browns eyes glowing at Kal.
Kal smiled. "So you finaly learn Mand'o huh? I wondering when I was ever going to be able to teach you." Kal looked back over to the troopers sitting down. "Come on! Get you're shebsmoving!" Kal paused. "Girl, can we get to your clan by air?"
Caitlyn sneered. "If you want to live in my clan, you got to learn respect for you're new Manda'lor. Which is me." Caitlyn paused herself putting back on her helmet. "Yes, but you got to let me fly this piece of duse there."
"She is not a piece of junk! She allot better than most of her kind." One clone trooper said.
Caitlyn laughed. "Deal with it. I can make you walk there, but I'm not that mean." Caitlyn jumped up in to the cockpit of the gunship. She lifted the LAAT off the ground and flew it back to their camp.
Jango was talking quietly with Zam and Tiroc. Caitlyn and Boba were gone for an hour.
"Where could they be?" Zam asked as she studied the light dappling the platform.
"Zam, Jango its okay their coming back and with friends too." A man landed on the platform in front of them. He had black hair, gray eyes, was about 20 and wore multi green painted armor. "I saw them catch a Jedi in armor. Their coming back know."
"Thanks ner' vod." Jango said and he finished fixing the HUD display in his helmet. Jango looked back up towards the sky. He sighed and stared thoughtfully at two small children restling.
This is it. Hope you enjoyed it!
