RAS Prosecutor

En-Route too Ordo System in the Mandalore Sector

24 Hours after issuing Order 66

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Arla Fett sat in her assigned quarters of the Prosecutor. She didn't need to be told that she needed to wait there for when her Brother eventually showed up, she already knew that now, it was inevitable. Jango Probably hated her, or will hate her for working with the Death Watch, even though her plan was to gain their trust enough so that she could kill their leader, the man who killed their Parents.

She sighed in regret, 'I'd probably deserve it. I helped Death Watch kill dozens of innocent people,' she thought miserably, ' And all just to get revenge for my parents, and Jango, who I believed died at Concorde Dawn,' tears were building up in her eyes now as she realized she knew Jango was alive for years, but didn't go look for him and reunite with him, 'How could I've been so stupid? Why! I knew he was alive and yet...I'm a horrible sister,' was her last thought as the door opened and in came the person she was thinking about, dressed in his Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor, minus his helmet.

Her little brother, Jango Fett.

"Arla." He said, with a neutral Expression and tone.

"...Jango." She said, as the two stared eye-to-eye at one another for a minute.

Then, Jango Spoke "How are you still alive?" He asked, his voice still neutral, but Arla could still tell he was angry, which would be an understatement.

"...When the Death Watch killed our parents," she began "Tor Vizsla had some of his men take me to their ship, where they threw me into a Cell. For years, I've spent time inside that Cell, them claiming that I was their 'prize' of the day, and to prove it they did this," she lifted her shirt up enough to reveal the Death Watch Logo burned onto her back, which caused Jango to Growl silently.

"Besides that, they never really hurt me" She continued, lowering her shirt. "in fact, it was actually the opposite. They were kind to me, and they treated me like they would one of their own."

"But, I knew what they were trying to do." She continued "They were trying too turn me into one of them, make me think of them as their 'new' family. So, I gave them what they wanted, and eventually they accepted me as an Assassin...but all I wanted was to kill Tor...I wanted to avenge you, and our parents. I wanted to gain their trust, so that I would be able to gain a small chance to get revenge."

Jango remained silent, as her Sister continued speaking. "But...I guess they figured out what I wanted to do." She said. "Because Ten Years ago...I was given a Job to assassinate a major Senator in the Republic...a lot of people died that day, and I was arrested. The Death Watch abandoned me, and I was left in a Mental Institution for Ten Years, because I was deemed 'Mentally Unstable'...I guess they were right."

She then brought her legs up to her chest and hugged them, curled up in a ball "Jango...I know I'm a Horrible Sister, after all of this, and you hate me." She admitted, closing her eyes. "I couldn't even kill the man responsible for our Parent's death...I didn't even try to go after you when I found out you were still alive...I'm just...I'm just Worthless."

She lowered her head, not wanting to see his angry face, but then a hand was felt on her shoulder and she looked up and saw her brother giving her a sympathetic look.

"If anyone should be blamed for all this Arla, it should be me," he said which made Arla's widen in shock, "If I had known you were still alive, I would've asked Jaster to go back and free you," he then embraced his older sister who was still in shock, but returned the embrace.

"And I've already forgiven you, Ner'vote," he said in the Concordian dialect, again surprising her. "You had nothing to do with Mom and Dad's death, if anything, I couldn't be more happy...I still have some family left."

Arla, meanwhile, had eyes filled with tears of Joy. "T-Thank you, Jango." She said, as she smiled. "I promise you...I'll never leave you again. And I'll be the Sister I should have been."

"Well, its good to see your getting reacquainted with your Sister, Jango." Arla and Jango looked back to the door to see Aria standing there, leading against the door frame, smiling. Jango returned the grin and turned to Arla who had a questioning look on her face as she watched Aira.

"Arla, meet Aira-ty Nokta, or, you can call her your sister," he said getting a surprised look from Arla.

"Excuse me?" Arla said and Aira chuckled, "What he meant to say is, I'm your sister-in-law,"

That caused Arla's eyes to widen in shocked surprise and she whipped her head back to her little brother, who grinned.

"It's true, I'm married, and we have a son, your nephew, Boba," Jango said, and once again Arla's eyes went wide, before she sighed and shook her head. "Damn, I really need to catch up with you." She said, and Jango and Aira laughed at that.

"Trust me, there will be plenty of time for catching up between you two later," Aira said. "But I came here to tell you Jango that we're about to Drop Out of Hyperspace, we're almost at the Ordo System."

"The Ordo System?" Arla asked. "Why are we going there?"

"Hopefully, to find Boba." Jango said, "Marik said that his friends in the 12th Steel Hawks Regiment said that Boba was given a Job with them at the Ordo System. With any luck, we'll find him there."

Arla blinked at the mention of that, "And exactly how old is Boba?" she asked and Jango sighed.

"He's thirteen. When he was ten, I faked my death at the Grand Arena on Geonosis to fool my enemies by using a body double," Jango sighed again, this time in regret,"unfortunately he saw him get his head sliced off by that Jedi, Mace Windu. He also believes I'm dead, and he swore to avenge my 'death' one day."

Arla gasped a bit, shocked at how similar this was to her own situation. "W-What are you gonna do when you find him?" She asked.

"What else?" Jango said, "Ask for forgiveness for abandoning him...I wouldn't be surprised if he hated me."

"If he's really your son, he'll forgive you." Arla said, surprising Jango a bit as she smiled "If you forgave me for being with the Death Watch...he can forgive you too."

Jango smiled a bit "I guess your right." he said as he stood up. "Well, let's get to the bridge." he said. "Don't wanna keep the others waiting."

Aira and Arla nodded, and the three left the barracks, and made their way towards the bridge.

Roman's Team inside Abandoned CIS Shipyard

"Sir, we are at the Control Room of the Shipyard." Roman reported as he, his team, Beta team, and a few other Clones were operating on several Terminals inside the Control Room of the Asteroid Base. "And we have accessed the base Logs."

"Good, what did you find?" Trips asked.

"Well, apparently this station was actually an emergency 'fall back' base for the Separatists at Bespin." Roman said. "If Bespin were taken, Reko was gonna run back here, and activate the Droid Army here to reclaim the planet."

He could hear a collection of sighs at that.

"Talk about a coincidence," Jade said, and Trips was reminded of the fate of the Neimoidian.

"Say, what happened to the maggot face, anyway?" he asked and Roman's suddenly realized they forgot something.

"Oops! Forgot we locked him up in solitary confinement all tied up!," Revy said, "But, I'm sure he's fine though."

Roman and Sasha face-palmed "How the hell could you forget about him?" Roman shouted. "Do you know how much he's worth once we turn him back to Jabba?"

"Worry about him later," Trips said. "Exactly how many ships are here?"

"15 in total, sir." Fury said as he looked at a Terminal. "Two Lucrehulk-class Battleship/ Droid Control Ships, three Providence-class Carrier/Destroyers, two Recusant-class light destroyers, five Munificent-class Star Frigates, three Hardcell-class interstellar transports, and numerous numbers of Dropships, landing craft, Starfighters, Bombers, Tanks, and Battle Droids."

Revy gave a whistle at that, "Man talk about a lot of firepower, there's enough here to take the Forest moon of Endor three times over!"

"Yeah no kidding," Shocker said, then came up with an idea, "Hmm, I wonder if we can put this fleet to good use,"

Beta Team and the Mandalorians looked at him with questioning looks, while Trips, Jade and Satele were listening in.

"What are you getting at, Shocker?" Doc asked, and Shocker just grinned. "Come on, guys." He said. "Look at this!" He pointed out at the fleet in front of them. "We just got 15 Warships to use against Palpatine! When do you think we'll get another golden opportunity to bolster up our forces like this?"

"Shocker, as good as an Idea that is, we don't have enough men to use both our ships and the Separatist ones." Fury said, but Shocker shook his head. "True..." he said. "But what if we reprogrammed the droids like we did at Bespin, only to work for us? And they can command the ships for us! We can even spare a few men on each ship to command them, but it would only be about a Company's worth at most."

"Hmm..." Trips thought. "You do have a point Shocker, that a chance to add some more firepower to our forces doesn't happen often."

"I'll take that as a yes?" Shocker said, smiling.

"Yes, we'll send in some Engineers to work on reprogramming the droids now." Trips said. "Meanwhile, once they arrive, get back to your ship and head to the Planet Surface. We gotta see what our Probe Droid found down there."

"Right, we'll finish things up in here and be right on it." Roman said. "Over and out." He then turned off the Comm.

On Kashyyyk

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Tex took off her helmet showing her short vibrant red hair as blew the smoke coming from one of her DC-15S blasters. Around her were at least 4 platoons of dead Trandoshans with smoking holes on their bodies from blaster hits. She grinned at her handiwork, feeling proud of herself.

"I love the smell of roasted lizard in the morning," she said as Delta Squad and the rest of Team Verpine came in through what was left of the gate.

"DAMN! Is she Armageddon incarnate or something?" Scorch said looking at all the dead Trandoshans from Slavers to hulking Heavy Mercenary Warriors.

"I'll take that as a complement." Tex said as she holstered her rifles and put her helmet back on. "Come on, I'm not getting paid by the hour here." And she then headed for the front gate.

"I hope she remembers to leave some for us in there." Boss said sarcastically,

"Knowing Tex, there is a better chance of her forgetting we're even here." Church said.

"Ya," Simmons said. "It kinda makes you wonder why we're here."

Griff just shrugged. "One of life's greatest mysteries I guess," he said. "I mean, why are we here? Are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a god watching over everything? I dunno man...keeps me up at night."

All of the others just stared at Griff in confusion. "What?" Simmons asked. "I meant why are we here? On this planet while Tex could have done it all by herself."

The Orange-armored Mandalorian blinked "Oh, uhh...ya...right." He said.

"What was all that stuff about god?" Scorch asked.

"Nothing."

"...Do you wanna talk about?" Simmons asked.

"No, I'm good." Griff said. "Can we just get this mission over with so I can sleep?"

His answer was a small rock to his forehead which made fly back wards and land on his back.

"Move it, slacker!" Tex yelled and Griff got up rubbing his forehead.

"Bitch," he muttered only to receive another rock, this time in the nads, "OOOOHH! What does she keep hitting me in the balls!"

Sarge just chuckled, and Church just sighed.

"Serves you right, Griff! Now you know not to piss ladies who love to get the job done!" Sarge said, as Griff staggered to his feet.

"Can we please get going?" Cal asked. "I wanna get out of here before anymore of these guys show up."

"Right, Fixer? Where are they holding Sev?" Boss asked as they moved forward through the base with the others.

"it says here..." Fixer said as he pulled out a datapad "Section 1157."

"What section are we in right now?" Church asked.

Fixer typed a few commanded "Uhh...Section Zero." He said.

"Aww, crap." Griff said. "That's like a million sections away!"

"We gotta fight our way through this whole base?" Church asked. "He could be dead by then!"

"Maybe not." Fixer said. "The Map I downloaded says that that access tunnel leads right to him." he pointed forward towards a large set of open doors ahead. "It looks like a pretty strait run but...its loaded with guards."

"How long is it?" Scorch asked.

"uhh..oh, wow. Almost a Kilometer." Fixer said.

"So, it's either a bunch of small routes, loaded with a ton of enemies," Griff said. "Or one long route...filled with a ton of enemies. Or we could give up! I say we give up."

"Griff, we can't give up now, we're only in the first room!" Simmons said.

"No, according to what he said, we're not even in the first room!" Griff shouted. "We're at room zero. But its ok guys, we did our best. No one could possibly ask any more from us."

Church looked at the datapad, and then came up with an idea, "I think I have an idea, hey guys come here..." he said and the two then entered a hushed conversation with as he explained the plan. And Griff could tell it was not a plan he liked.

"Hey, what are guys talking about over there? It doesn't sound like surrendering...Let me see-," before he could look into what they were planning, Simmons waved him off.

"Go away Griff! We're working here!" he shouted and Church added his two-cents, "Yeah come on, beat it!"

Griff just shook his head and began to walk away. "Whatever," he said. "I don't wanna see anyways." He then stepped up to a door control panel "Oh, look at me!" he said. "I have a Computer, and I don't have to show up to anybody! I'm just gonna push all of the buttons!" He then randomly typed in a few buttons in the panel, and the door opened...revealing a few Dozen Trandoshan Slavers who were either eating, or polishing their weapons.

When the Door opened, Griff looked inside, and the Slavers in the room looked back. "Umm..." He said, "How do I close this door?"

There was another second of pause before the Trandoshans all drew their weapons and started firing.

"DAMNIT GRIFF!" Sarge shouted as he and the others ran for cover in the hallway.

"TEX! TAKE E'M OUT!" Church shouted, only to find their Black armored Teammate was missing. "Where the hell did she go?"

"She probably moved up ahead of us!" Cal shouted as he fired his Blaster at the Trandoshans. "Their blocking out way into the access tunnel!"

"Oh, come on!" Church shouted. "Simmons! Rocket Launcher, NOW!"

"Coming up!" Simmons said as he took out the PLX-1 Missile Launcher on his back.

"You can't kill them all with that!" Griff shouted over the weapons fire while Church connected a rope too a Missile as he loaded it up.

"Don't need to, its a guided Rocket!" Church said as he attached the other side of the rope to himself. "Simmons! Aim for that tunnel!"

"Got it!" Simmons acknowledged and stepped out in the path, aiming his PLX-1, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

He pulled the trigger and the rocket flew out making a few Trandoshans duck in cover as the missile flew into the tunnel, taking the rope with, as Church tied the other end to himself.

"Okay! Use the map to guide, and don't let me hit anything!" He said and then, "And...you know explode,"

Griff saw the rope tied to Church's waste and immediately asked, "What the hell are you doing?"

"I Uh...I'm starting to get second thought about this." Church said.

"You had a first thought?" Griff asked, But Church ignored him as he drew out a pair of Blaster pistols and the rope neared it end. "Ya...hey Griff? In case I forget to say it later...ow."

And with that, Church launched forward, screaming all the way as he hit a Slaver as he flew forward following the path of the Rocket.

"Yes!" Griff said. "Finally a stupid plan where somebody gets killed, and its not me!"

"Don't worry Griff! I'm sure we'll come up with a plan that WILL get you killed," Sarge commented as he continued to shoot at the Trandoshans.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?," Griff said in a deadpan tone as he too, continued shooting.

Meanwhile, a single Trandoshan Slaver was on guard bored out of his mind. That is, until he heard something coming his way.

Then, a rocket passed right over his head, and he drew his weapon...but then he noticed the rope attached to it. Following the rope with his eyes, he looked behind him just in time to see a blue-armored human slam into him, and fly forward, skidding his feet on the floor.

"Hey! What are you guys doing back there?" Church yelled as the rocket tugged him down the tunnel swerving, "Just guide the rocket! Stop goofing around!"

Back with the others, as they killed a few Trandoshans, 5 more take their place. Griff was not liking the situation

"Oh my god! There's like a million of these things!" the orange colored Mandalorian yelled out.

"Well fucking shoot'em then!" Simmons yelled back as he guided the rocket to his destination.

One of the Trandoshans fired their Shotgun, only for the clicking noise of it out of ammo to sound. The Trandoshan then tossed his Shotgun away, and began to charge forward.

"Uhh, Simmons! Their getting Closer!" Griff shouted, and Simmons just answered, "Shut up I need to concentrate!"

Just when he said that, a Trandoshan jumped on Griff and proceeded to punch him in the face.

"Ah! Get them off me!" Griff cried as he was being punched.

"Help yourself! They're not that tough-OOUPH!" Simmons said, right when a Trandoshan nailed him in the nads, and he said in a high-pitched voice "I take that back!"

Meanwhile, with Church he began to swirl around in circles as the Rocket began to twirl around seemingly uncontrollably. "HEY! Whatever your doing back there, stop doing it!" Church shouted. "Or do it straighter! PLEASE!"

Back with the others, the group was now fighting the Trandoshans hand to hand as Simmons used the PLX-1 as a club, "Take that! You little bastard!" he growled as he kicked a Slaver away only to get jumped from behind by another . Griff wasn't fairing any better as another slaver got him in a tight head lock, "ACK! He's choking me! He's got me in a sleeper hold!"

Two Trandoshan Mercenaries were standing guard when a rocket shot from the access tunnel with a rope attached to it.

"What was that?" one of the guards asked, and before the other could a screaming human in blue armor came out of the tunnel attached to the rope.

Further on, a pair of Slavers stood on guard, and when the rocket passed over them, they looked up, following it too the roof. The two glanced at each-other, both absolutely clueless.

Then the Blue-armored human passed by, and the two immediately drew their weapons and opened fire.

"Uhh, ok! Guys!" Church shouted on the Comm. "That's to high guys...Guys? It's too high! Guys?"

Meanwhile with the others, they couldn't hear Church, because they were too busy being attacked by Trandoshans.

Church looked up seeing the fast approaching roof.

"Oh man," Church said in exasperation, "This is gonna...,"

From a short distance away, the roof of the main building of the camp exploded.

",...HUUUUUUURRRRRRRT!,"

At the Ordo System

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

The Planet Ordo was an amazing planet. Though most of the planet seemed to be covered in deserts, the largest concentration of organic life was centered around the equator of the Planet, as well as the two moons orbiting it.

This was the sight that welcomed the Prosecutor and the Jaster's Legacy II as the two Acclamator I-class assault Ships dropped out of Hyperspace.

"We've dropped out of Hyperspace, sir." The Helm Operator of the Jaster's Legacy II said, and Jango nodded "Good." he said. "Contact the Prosecutor."

The Communications Officer nodded as he contacted the other ship, and soon the images of Zule, Marik, Kal and Revan appeared before them. "Well, it looks like we're here." Jango said. "So where are your friends?"

"The Harbinger and its escorts should be around here somewhere." Marik said. "Boba was assigned to them to them about a month ago, and last I heard he was still with them. Their hunting some Pirates who have been harassing local transports." Jango blinked as he recognized the ship's name

"Wait. He's with the Steele Hawks? Calista's Regiment?" he said, clearly suprised.

"Yep. And from what I heard, Calista's been making sure that Boba doesn't get into too much trouble," Marik said, with a bit of a smirk. "Also, and brace yourself for this one Jango, but Boba has a Girlfriend now."

The look on Jango's face was Priceless which caused Aria and Arla to giggle a bit, Kal, and Marik laughed, while several members of the Jaster's Legacy's crew to snicker.

"A girlfriend?" Jango asked once he recovered. Marik nodded "Yup." He said. "Though, it's not official yet, I can tell those two care for one-another deeply. Her name's Sintas Vel, she's a Kiffar Bounty Hunter." Aira perqued at that.

"Sintas Vel? Hmm, where have I heard that name before?" she said to herself. Jango grinned a bit at that.

"My boy is growing up faster than I thought," Jango said, and Marik chuckled a bit.

"Just wait till you see what he did to your armor he inherited from you?" he said causing Jango to stiffen.

"My Armor?" He asked, and Marik nodded "Ya, after Geonosis Dooku gave your armor to him, and he had it refitted so that he could wear it." Marik said. "He also made a few personal modifications, and let me just say personally, the armor looks a lot better now than it did before."

Jango gave him a small glare, "And what, Adiik, was wrong with my armor before?" he said with a slight edge in his tone.

"Uh, well, I...it a-OH! Here comes the Harbinger now!," Marik said hurriedly and Jango sighed, "We'll continue this later, runt" he said, which caused Marik to gulp, and Arla, Zule and Aira giggled a bit.

Turning back too the screen, they could now make out a small fleet of one Venator-class Star Destroyer that was colored Green with Brown Trimming, and along with it were three Marauder-class Corvette's with the same color scheme.

"Their hailing us." The Comm Officer of the Prosecutor said. "Opening the channel."

The screen flickered a bit until it showed a woman with red shoulder length hair, violet eyes, and wearing formfitting white/red trim Shock trooper armor, over a grey flightsuit.

"Marik? What's going on? And who's the other Acclamator with you?" the woman, Calista Shae asked.

"Long story Calista. Can we talk?" Marik asked. "Its kinda important."

Calista sighed "Marik, now's not really the best time." She said. "We're having a bit of a situation here."

"What do you mean?" Marik asked.

"A few hours ago, we sent in a squad of Troops lead by Boba Fett and Sintas Vel to the planet Surface to deal with the Pirates on the ground." Calista explained. "They were going to take down their early warning alarm system so that we would jump in, and deploy our ground forces to finish them off undetected." She then sighed "That was almost 4 Hours ago, and they were suppose to have checked in by now."

Jango and Aira were immediatley alarmed by this, and Marik was the same since he considered Boba a little brother figure.

"What? Where was their last location?" the young Mereel Clan member demanded.

"Their Drop Zone was 20 Kilometers west from the base itself." Calista said. "Once they landed they would use Speeders to make the rest of the trip there. Their last transmission reported them just outside of the base's perimeter. Now, what's with the other Acclamator?"

Marik gave a sigh at that, "That's the Jaster's Legacy II, it belongs to a man the galaxy thought was dead," he said causing the red head to blink owlishly.

"Excuse me, but did you say Jaster's Legacy II?" She asked, knowing only one man would name their ship that.

Marik grinned a bit "Yes, I did." He said. "I'm pretty sure you can guess who's on command of it." He said, and Calista's eyes went wide.

"You don't mean..." She said, but then the screen in front of her split in two, and on the other half appeared the bridge of the other Acclamator, and to the shock of herself and the rest of the Harbinger crew, there stood none other than Jango Fett himself.

"Hey Calista, long time no see, hu?" He said, and Calista's jaw dropped.

"J-Jango Fett?" She said, not believing her eyes. "Your Alive?"

Jango smirked, and nodded "Yup! Good to see you too Cast." He said.

"But...how are you alive?" Calista asked. "Mace Windu-"

"All Mace Windu did, was kill a personally trained Clone." He said, Shocking Calista. "I had to do it in order to fool Dooku in believing I was dead..." He then sighed "Unfortunately, as you see, it backfired, and now Boba thinks I'm dead. But now that Dooku's dead, I need to find him."

Calista seemed to sigh a little bit, "Force, you're full of suprises," she muttered, causing Jango to smirk, "Alright, I'm pretty sure you heard what I said before right?" she said and he nodded, "Perfectly, now all we need is a plan," he said. "And I think I got one."

Calista, Marik and the others listened in, as Jango began to explain the Plan on how to get his Son back.

At the Hoth System

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

The Blitzwing flew through the Atmosphere of Hoth as it searched for what it was the Probe Droid discovered. They left the CIS shipyard, with a contingent of Troopers along the Triumph and it's Consular-class escorts escorts to guard it.

"I wonder what it is the droids found," Roman said as he piloted the Phoenix-Hawk-class down to the surface, following the homing beacon in one of the droids.

"Who knows?," Sasha said. "It's probably a ground-side base the Sep's set up most likely. We'll find out soon enough."

"I think we're almost there," Revy said. "Should be in view right...about..." Whatever she was about to say was cut off as she and the others looked out the window, and their eyes went wide.

"Holy shit!" Was the reply from all of them.

Before them, half-covered in the ice of Hoth, was a massive ship. It held a Dagger-shape design, and was easily about Six to Seven Kilometers long.

"No way..." Roman said, blinking. "That's...that's a Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser! How the hell did it end up here?"

"What was that about a..whoa," said Shocker as he and the rest of Fury's team came up to the cockpit to see what it was about, "That's a big Battlecruiser,"

Fury gave him a small glare for that, "No shit," then turned back to looking at the Praetor, "We gotta tell the General this, can we contact her?"

"Ya, just a second." Sasha said and she moved to the Communications Terminal and typed a few buttons. "General Lee, do you read me?" She said. "This is the Blitzwing, do you copy?"

"I Copy, Sasha." Jade's voice came through. "Did you find what the Droid found?"

"Ya, we're sending a live feed now." Sasha said, and she typed a few more commands into the Terminal. A few seconds later, and Jade's voice came back "Whoa...now that's not something you see everyday." She said.

"Yeah, no kidding. Question is, what's it doing here?" Sasha asked.

It took a few moments until Jade's voice sounded again, "I'm not sure. It will be best if we checked the ship's logs. Do you see a spot where we can set up the Prefabricated Base?" she asked.

Sasha looked around the perimeter of the ship until she saw a clearing right next to the ships conning tower, "Yeah, we're gonna land there now," she said. "Sending you the Coordinates, meanwhile We'll start checking out this ship."

"Right, Got e'm. We'll send the base down now." Jade said. "Tell us what you find down there."

"Alright, we'll contact you when we can, Blitzwing out." Sasha said, and closed the Comm.

Jade got of the line with Sasha. "Well, you heard e'm." Trips said. "Get the Prefabricated Base moving!" The Crew responded quickly, and issued the orders. The Inferno then began to move into high orbit over the designated position where the base would be placed. Not too long after, a single massive Y-85 Dropship dropped out of the main hanger bay of the Imperator-class Star Destroyer, escorted by a whole squadron of ARC-170 Starfighters, and three LAAT/i Transports.

As the Dropship moved through the atmosphere, Jade turned to the Comm Officer "Have you picked up anything on the Jedi Distress Channel I gave you?" She asked. She had asked Trips to monitor the Private Jedi Emergency Channel, to hopefully find some survivors of Order 66. Usually Jedi were not allowed to give away the Channel used for them, but Jade didn't have a choice if she wanted to find anyone else. Trips said it was alright, and put the Comm officer on it.

"Nothing Yet, Ma'am." The Clone said, shaking his head. "I'm Sorry."

"It's alright." Jade said, before sighing.

"You still worried?" Trips asked as he walked up to her. She just nodded "Ya...I'm glad to know My Brother, Master Masao, and most of the others from our Task Force are alright, as well as Alaya..." She said. "But, what about the council? did any of them make it out? And what about Sagan and Aubrie's Squad? Or Kass and Mak's Company? Did they follow the Order as well?"

"Jade, calm down." Trips said, as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "I'm sure their all ok. I know the men they were placed in command of, they would never do Order 66. I just know it."

Jade nodded "I Hope so Trips..." She said. However it was then The Comm Officer spoke up. "Ma'am! I think I have something!" He said.

The Jedi Knight's head spun around so fast Trips almost thought it would snap right off. "Really? Where is it?" She asked, her eyes wide.

"Its Coming from somewhere nearby the Alderaan System!" He said, and Trips quirked an eyebrow at that.

"Alderaan?" the Clone Commander said and Jade answered, realization on her face.

"Alderaan has always been a close ally of the Jedi, especially the House of Organa," she said remembering the Senator Bail Organa had always been a good friend to the Jedi Council.

"This could very easily be a Trap," Trips said, but Jade shook her head. "No, only Jedi or very close allies to Jedi have access to that Channel." She said. "We have to find out who it is!"

Trips looked like he was about to argue, but one look into her eyes told him that there was no way to steer her away from this. He then sighed "Well, at least let me come with you." He said. "We'll take one of the Consular-class Cruiser's."

Jade smiled "Thank you, Trips." She said as she hugged him. "Satele, you think you can handle things while we're gone?" She asked.

Satele Smiled and nodded "Sure, shouldn't be too hard." She said. Jade smiled at her friend, knowing she will have everything under control.

"That's good, we won't be too long," Jade said and she and Trips left the bridge to the hanger bay. Sighing, Satele looked toward the Communications Clone.

"Inform the Razorback that General Lee requests a lift to the Alderaan System," Satele said and the clone nodded in the affirmative. She then turned toward the ship captain and told him she'll be in her quarters for the next half hour and left.

When she was in the hallway, and making sure no-one was around, she picked a holo-projector from her uniform pocket and activated it, showing what looked like a starship. It was similar in design to the Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser, but it had what looked like pods attached to the sides and appeared much bigger (1).

It was a bit of a hobby of hers, she loved to create new ship designs, and she was almost finished with the one she was working on now, along with the new Starfighter Prototypes she had planned as well. She had already come up with a name for the ship long before she began working on it.

The Galactica-class Assault Carrier.

"Seriously, what the hell!" Church shouted to the rest of his squad as they continued onward after fighting through what seemed like thousands of Trandoshan Guards. "I could have died back there! What is wrong with you?"

"Hey! Don't blame us!" Griff said. "Its because these guys refused to help us!"

"It was way too funny seeing you get your asses kicked by Slavers to do anything." Sarge said with a chuckle, while Cal smirked a bit and Kairi giggled as well.

"Hey, what ever happened to Tex?" Scorch asked. "She just disappeared on us."

"Probably went on ahead while we were stuck with those Trando's." Tucker said.

Church sighed in irritation at that, "I swear, whenever there's trouble, she ditches us! She only cares about completing the mission, then helping out the team!" he ranted and Cal sighed.

"Here we go...," he said in exasperation, while the three clones of Delta Squad could only watch and listen.

"She's ALWAYS been a heartless bitch! Even before she got mixed up with those damn Freelancers! She only cares about the money, that's i-," before he could finish, a rock smacked into his helmeted head sending flying backwards into Griff.

"OW! What the fuck was that!" Church shouted.

"I don't know...but that was hilarious!" Sarge said, with a chuckle. "A Blue and Griff in one shot! Whoever did that must be an amazing marksman!"

Not a moment later, Tex appeared from the shadows "What was that you said about me, Church?" She asked in that all-too sweet voice.

"Nice straight throw," Boss said and Tex grinned behind her helmet, "Thanks,"

"Where did you go, Tex?" Cal said as Tex looked at him, the grin never leaving her face, "Oh nothing. Except...," she then went back into the shadows and came out a moment later dragging a knocked out figure in grey/ yellow trimmed Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor. She threw the person at the others' feet, and everyone but Delta Squad recognized him.

"Washington!" They all said, confusing Delta.

"Who?" Scorch asked.

"He's Washington, he use to be part of the same Freelancer Program that Tex was in." Kari said. "When the Project was shut down by Lady Artemis, I heard he became a Mercenary for hire...but why would he be spying on us?"

It was then Tex brought out a Comm-link, "I managed to hack his logs and I found these," she said and began playing the messages that Washington was recieving and sending back to his Command.

"Recovery One?" Boss said, confused by Washington's call-sign.

"It was his call-sign for when he was a Freelancer Agent tasked in recovering equipment from the Program, mainly armor upgrades and A.I. He used to have one until it made him go nuts," Tex said and Cal got confused.

"Whoa! Wait a minute! How can Wash still be using his Freelancer Call-sign, when the Program was personally shut down by Lady Artemis! This doesn't make any sense," the Mandalorian said confused.

"I agree with Cal on this one," Sarge said. "Theirs no reason why he should still be using it."

"Maybe he's working for some people who use to work for Freelancer?" Kari offered.

"Or maybe Freelancer isn't as shut down as we thought." Tex said, and the others looked at her confused. "I spoke with Lady Artemis about what would happen to the Director, and she told me that he had already left Concordia. It could be possible he's restarted Freelancer, only now he's doing it for someone else."

"Okay, but for who?" Tucker asked, "Who would want to go through the trouble of Project Freelancer going?"

Before anyone could answer that, a groan caught their attention as they looked down and saw Wash was about to wake up.

"Hey, he's waking up," Church said.

"Now we can get some answers," Cal said as he kneeled next to Wash.

"Ugh! What hit me?" Wash said as he shook his head.

"Tex, that's what hit ya." Sarge said, and Washington froze before looking around him, seeing the others around him. And there was only one thing he could say about his current situation.

"Fuck."

At the Ordo System

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Four LAAT/i Gunships with a CR25 Troop Carrier decended through the Atmosphere of Ordo to the last known coordinates of Boba and Sintas's squad.

"We'll land our Company around the same spot Boba landed with his Squad." The pilot of the CR25 said on the COMM. "We'll prepare for the attack while your squad moves in to see what happened. Don't take too long, because we're gonna attack in one hour."

"Copy That." Jango said from inside his LAAT/i with his own troops. "We won't take long, Jango over and out."

The plan was simple: Jango, Marik, Aira and Zule along with Omega Squad and the Null-ARC's will attempt to infiltrate the Pirate base to find Boba's Squad. While they do this, in one hour the other troops they brought in will attack the base. Their attack force was mostly just their LAAT/i Gunships, and a few AT-PT Walkers and Speeder Bikes. When they find Boba, and get out, the Harbinger along with the Jaster's Legacy II, and Prosecutor will begin their attack with their combined forces.

According to intle the Harbinger had, the Pirates had a decently sized force on the ground and in space. In space they have a fleet of four Interceptor-class Frigates, three IPV-1 System Patrol Crafts, numerous Z-95 Headhunters, and a small Asteroid Base. On the ground they had a large base with thousands of Pirate forces guarding it. They were equipped with Captured AT-AP's, a few AT-PT's like their own, ISP Speeders, Bantha-II Cargo Skiffs and other minor vehicles.

All in all, the Pirates were well equipped. But that wasn't gonna stop Jango and the others from going all-out on them.

"Approaching last designated coordinates," the pilot informed and Jango looked out to see the approaching spot where the squad his son was leading was last heard from.

His mind reeling at the thought that his son might be dead made him want to bash his own head in. 'I should never have left him,' he thought. 'I should have warned him what i was going to do at Geonosis! Now he might be dead...No, no He has to be alive!'

The Drop Zone finally came into view, and Jango couldn't help but grin at the familiar sight of his old Star Ship, the Slave I sitting right there.

'Hello there, beautiful,' Jango thought fondly as he looked at the Firespray-31, noticing it had a new painjob of olive green and red. His son must've wanted to try something original.

"Okay, landing in three, two, one...," the pilot counted down and as the ship landed Jango and everyone else hopped out.

Jango moved towards the Slave I and entered it with Aira. Though the outside has changed, the interior has stayed pretty much the same. When he came across one of the Rooms inside, he sighed as he came too Boba's quarters. Inside was rather vacant, besides the lone Holographic photo of Himself and Boba on Kamino with Kal, Walon and the rest of the Cuy'val Dar.

Jango picked up the photo, a sad look on his features. Aira was looking at the picture as well, and she felt terrible inside, because she wasn't there for her son. She could only hope that Boba could find some way to forgive her for the first thirteen years of his life.

Jango then placed the photo down and spotted something else that caught his attention. Sitting on the desk next to the bed, was a Lightsaber.

"What's this doing here?" Jango said as he picked it up, and ignited it revealing a Green Blade.

"Maybe Boba took it from a Jedi at Geonosis?" Aira said, looking at the blade as Jango gave it a few test flicks.

"Maybe, hmmm, wait a minute," Jango said as he deactivated the blade and inspected it more closely, and then realization dawned on him, "Well now, it's that lightsaber huh?"

"Jango?" Aira said curiously.

"This is the Lightsaber that belonged to the Last Jedi my Double managed to Kill at Geonosis." He said. "I think his name was Coleman Trebor, he was going to kill Dooku until he stopped him." Jango chuckled a bit "If only he succeeded, and maybe this all could have been averted..."

"No reason dwelling on the past, Jango." Marik said as he entered the room with Zule. Jango then hooked the lightsaber on his belt.

"I don't know what my son was planning to use this for. But, due to how he inherited my former hatred of Jedi after he saw Windu cut my Double's head off. I could only imagine," Jango said as Aira grasped his hand. Marik nodded in agreement with him.

"To tell you the truth when Windu came to talk to me about after he 'killed' you," Marik said, "He said, even though you were an enemy, you were a brave and noble warrior," Marik told him as Jango chuckled in irony.

"How about that, a Jedi complimenting me, a Mandalorian," he said with slight mirth, "How ironic," he then shook his head. "Anyways, let's get a move on." He said, and the others nodded as they exited the Slave I.

Outside the Clones were already deploying, with their four AT-PT's and 74-Z Speeder Bikes already out of the CR25. Omega Squad, and the Null-ARC's prepared and ready.

"Alright, everyone Mount up!" Jango shouted. "We need to make our way too the base ASAP!"

The clones all either responded with a "Sir, yes sir!" or simply nodded and they went to their stations.

Marik went over to a Speeder Bike and got on while Zule took the back seat and wrapped her arms on her boyfriend's waiste.

"You know, this isn't exactly a date you know," he said playfully as the orange skinned Jedi who just smiled.

"I know," she said, the smile never leaving her face, "but who's gonna block away all the blaster bolts that come your way?"

Marik nodded his head "True," he said. "Better hang on!" And he put his foot on the throttle and accelerated forward, and soon the rest of the Infiltration team was on the move with them, making their way too the base.

Consular-class Cruiser En-route to Distress Beacon Location

"We should be dropping out of Hyperspace in a few minutes Jade." Trips said as he and Jade stood on the bridge of the Consular-class Cruiser on their way to the Beacon location.

"Good, once we do, have a scan of the area for any Republic ships, or whatever Palpatine decides to call his new government," Jade said and Trips nodded. Jade then started her fingers on her other hand, clearly nervous.

Trips then placed his hand on her shoulder giving it a firm squeeze. "Relax Jade." He said. "Your gonna go crazy if you keep this up."

"I know Trips..." Jade said, sighing. "But...what if this really is a Trap? and Palpatine's forces are waiting for us?"

"They won't." Trips said as he moved behind her, and began to slowly massage her shoulders, and Jade relaxed into her seat. "Its only been a few days since we went rouge, he couldn't possibly know what we've done yet. I'm sure this is a genuine."

Jade nodded, and moaned a bit as Trips continued to make her relax. "Where did you learn to give such good massages?" She asked, and Trips chuckled and shrugged. "I dunno, but are you really complaining?" He said. Jade blushed a bit, but shook her head. "No, I'm not." She said before looking at the controls. "But..,as much as I love this, we're about to drop out of Hyperspace."

Trips nodded and moved back to his seat, "Exiting Hyperspace in 3...2...1" and with that the Razorback dropped out of Hyperspace and into the Alderaan sytem.

"Beginning Scanning Sweep," Said a Clone as he pressed a button and began scanning the area for ships.

"Picking a few ships, sir" the Clone responed, "I'm seeing two notables. A CR100 FarStar-class Corvette, and a CR90 Corvette. The Becon's coming from the CR90."

"What are the ships?" Jade asked.

"It seems the CR90 is the Sundred Heart, Senator Bail Organa's Ship." The Clone said. "And the other ship is the Mantis."

"The Mantis?" Jade asked, surprised. "Isn't that Kass and Mak's ship?"

"It is Madam, IFF confirms it," the Clone clarified, "The Sundered Heart is hailing us Madam,"

Jade took a deep breath, "By all means, open the channel," She said.

It wasn't long as a voice then came through the speakers. "This is Senator Bail Organa to the Republic ship, how may we help you?"

Jade smiled a bit "This is Jedi Knight Jade Lee onbord the RAS Razorback." She said on the Comm. "We are responding too the Jedi Distress becon in this area."

It was then a new, more familiar voice came through "Jade? Jade is that you? My god I can't believe it, your alright!" Came the voice of Mak Lotor.

Jade sighed in relief at the voice "Mak...Its good to hear your alright too." She said. "Is Kass with you?"

"What do you think?" Came the voice of the said Zabrak Padawan. "Me and Mak were getting worried about you and some of the others...wait, you do know about-"

"Order 66?" Jade asked, "Yes, I know. Trips told be about it a few days ago."

There was a long silence on the comm "Trips told you?" Kass asked. "Are you saying he's..."

"Trips, along with the rest of the Hades Corps, are not obeying Order 66, that's right." Jade said, grinning a bit.

"No way, EVERYONE In the Hades Corps?" Mak asked.

"Yup, every Trooper, Pilot, Officer and Engineer are remaining loyal to the Jedi." She said. "And since I see the Mantis here, I'm guessing Xeo is still with you?"

Kass chuckled a bit "Ya, Xeo and the rest of Mantis Company are still on our side." She said. "Hey, Bail! Let her ship Dock. We got a lot to discuss."

The Senator smiled and nodded, "Of course, Master Yoda and Master Kenobi will be very happy to hear this," he said making Jade's widen.

"Master Yoda AND Obi-Wan? Are they alright?" she said in happiness, and Bail nodded.

"Yes, they're alright. We rescued them two days before Mak, Kass and Mantis Company followed our signal," the Senator said and Jade again breahted a sigh of relief.

"This is some of the greatest news I've heard all day..." She muttered before turning to the task at hand. "Alright, we'll prepare to dock the Sundered Heart. See you two soon Mak, Kass."

"Right, see ya Jade." Mak said and the comm went silent.

"Well, you heard e'm Trips, let's dock." She said. Trips smiled and nodded as he told the ship pilot to dock the ship with the CR90. "Good to see there are more Jedi, right?" Trips asked Jade, and she nodded with a smile. "Ya...It looks like a lot of the Clones who use to fight with Marik and Zule's Slice Hounds are defecting." She said. Trips chuckled at that.

"Yeah, those guys always had a knack in making most Clones disobey certain orders," The Clone said as the Razorback docked with the Sundered Heart.

"Well, let's go hear everyone's story," Jade said and Trips nodded as they left the bridge of the cruiser.

"Alright Agent Wash, spill it." Sarge said as he pumped his shotgun. "Why were you following us? And why are you using your Recovery one Call sign? Or are you gonna have to get sarged?"

"Sarged?" Boss asked Griff, who sighed. "Just go with it." He said.

Wash looked around him, and sighed. "Might as well..." He said. "Tex, you know how the Director pleaded with Lady Artemis to keep Freelancer going?"

Tex blinked but nodded at that, "Yeah, I know, from what I heard from York, Lady Artemis then reminded him of how he seriously fucked up when certain A.I. made their hosts either go extremely crazy, greedy, or just downright violent that caused too much collateral damage and she told him if he didn't shut it down right now or face the consequences," She said and Wash nodded at that.

"That's half of it," Wash said, causing the others to blink in confusion. "It wasn't a bunch of A.I's that he was messing around with, it was all originally one A.I, the Alpha."

"The Alpha?" Tex asked, shocked. "You mean there really is an Alpha A.I? I thought it was just rumors."

Wash shook his head at that, "That's what the Director wanted everyone in Freelancer to believe," Wash said and Cal an eyebrow at that info, "Why would he do that?"

The Freelancer sighed at that, "Apparently he feared that certain people in and outside the project will try to get their hands on it and either try to use or sell it to the highest bidder. And he was right," Everyone was confused by that.

"What do you mean?" Fixer said deeply interest in this.

"Tex, have you ever wondered how us Freelancers were given A.I's like Omega, Delta, and Gamma, but the Director originally only had one A.I for the whole Project?" Wash asked, and Tex thought about that.

"I...I never really thought about that up until now." She said. "I always assumed he got them later on in the project."

"Well, the Director didn't have the time to spend on buying more A.I's, so he worked with what he had." Wash said. "He began to 'split' the Alpha into different A.I's by torturing it, causing it to split its Personalities because it was isolating them to keep its sanity, thus creating an A.I out of it, so each A.I was based off a Personality trait. like Logic, Rage, Deception, Marksmanship, Creativity and so on. but the Director kept it hidden from Lady Artemis, knowing she would shut down the project. But afterwards a lot of Freelancers wanted to steal the Alpha so that they could make themselves more powerful, so the Alpha was taken to an 'undisclosed location' that only the Director knows about."

"Are you saying that ALL these A.I. are just pieces of one A.I.?" Church said flabbergasted, while Wash sighed.

"Technically, yes," he said.

Tex then asked him, "And have you found anything on this 'Undisclosed Location' ?" she asked Wash, who only shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no. The Director has few people he can trust to keep the Alpha's location a secret, and unfortunately I'm not one of them," he said and everyone sighed at that, "And what's worse, the Director continued Project Freelancer after he officially declared the project shut down,"

The others were a little shocked by this.

Kari then thought of something, "But wait, hold on. Even if the Director continued project Freelancer under my mother's nose, how did he get the funding, since if he used Ne'tra Kad's accounts, she'll trace it back to him and then he'll be in a world of hurt," Wash nodded at that.

"You're absolutely right, which is why 'He' took interest in the project," Wash said the word 'He' in distaste. "He gladly gave the Director the funding needed to keep it going."

"He?" Sarge asked. "Who's he?"

"Supreme Chancellor Palpatine." Wash said, and the others looked like their eyes were about to bug out of their heads.

"Palpatine? Why would he want Freelancer?" Kari asked, shocked.

"Because...Palpatine's the Sith Lord the Jedi have been searching for since the beginning of the war." Wash said, causing everyone, even the Commandos eyes to widen and their jaws to drop.

"Please tell me you're fucking with us," Scorch said, unable to believe it. Wash just shook his head, "I wish it were, but it's true. Palpatine was behind everything. The War, the Outbound Flight Tragedy, the assassination of former Chancellor Valorum, creating the Clone Army, even the Naboo Crisis thirteen years ago," he said, and Kari's was immediatley alarmed by that.

"W-what! Are you saying Palpatine, Palpatine of all people was behind the conflict that killed my parents?" Kari said in shock, as she remembered how the Trade Federation invaded her former Homeworld of Naboo, and the following occupation that killed her parents. Her father, Tielsen, who was a RNSF Officer, and her mother, Nelina, who was just a common baker by trade.

"Yes." Washington said. "He planned to become Chancellor, and start the Clone Wars as a way to wear down the Jedi to the point where their at their weakest. Then, he would issue out the Clone Contingency Order 66, which stated that the Jedi were planning a Coup on the Republic, and the Clones would follow the order. Then he would use the Emergency Power he had to switch the Galactic Republic into a Galactic Empire, and initiate a purge of all Jedi Force users in the galaxy. The Clone Wars and everything leading to it, was just a trap for the Jedi to fall in."

The others looked at him in complete stunned silence. That is until Boss spoke up.

"We have to hurry, get Sev, get the hell out of here, and hurry and warn the Jedi, they need to know about-" he was cut off by what Wash said next.

"It's too late for that," Everyone looked at him, "The Order has already been given, and Jedi around the Galaxy are already being executed by their own Clones. And the Jedi Temple has been turned to ruins by the 501st Legion and Palpatine's new Apprentice, Darth Vader."

The others each shared a look of horror on their faces.

"But that means...the younglings, the people who just work there...," Kari said as she begin to have flashes of the past, more precisely, the Battle of Naboo, where she saw her parents gunned down mercilessly by Battle Droids, the fear on peoples faces as she experienced the horror of the labor camps, watching as neighbors, school-mates, and teachers succumb to their injuries from torture and abuse.

Wash nodded "Yes...Almost everyone who was in the Temple at the time...are dead." He said.

"T-That can't be right!" Simmons said. "There had to be survivors! And the Clones! Surly there had to be some who didn't follow the Order!"

"Your right, there were a few Survivors." Wash said. "Torrent Company, commanded by Captain Rex decided not to follow the Orders, and rescued many Jedi Padawans and Younglings. They managed to escape with the help of the Slice Hounds Battalion, who also disobeyed the orders." He then sighed. "But...a lot of people still got killed, Jedi or otherwise." He said.

"Wash...why are you telling us all this?" Church asked the question that was bugging all of them.

"Because, I hate working with Freelancer as much as anyone." He admitted. "But I don't have a choice. If I left I would be hunted down because I knew too much, and on top of that there are other Agents in Freelancer that are being forced to work with the Director like Myself, including Maine, Wyoming, North and even South are being forced to work for the Director again."

Cal by now, was furious. He knew the Director was a bit egotistical, but this was too much. He then got an idea of how they can use this to their advantage.

"I think we use this to our adavantage," Everyone turned to him when he said that. Kari quirked an eybrow at that.

"What do you mean Cal?" she asked and Cal looked at Wash.

"Wash, how would feel being a spy for us inside Freelancer?" he said and Wash's eyes widened.

"What?" He asked. "Why would you-"

"Because I trust you, Wash." Cal said. "You could have just stayed silent about all of this, but you didn't. You hate the Director just as much as Tex here does. It seems inevitable for us to fight the Director sometime in the future, and it would be beneficial to have someone on the inside to help us out. What do you say?"

Washington looked around at the others, and sighed "Do I really have a choice?" He asked, rhetorically. "But your right, I'll do it."

"Good." Cal said. "I have one question for now: Do you know where the Director is now?"

"Yes and no." The Freelancer answered. "Palpatine, or as he calls himself Darth Sideous, gave the Director his own personal fleet of ships. He had three Venator-class Star Destroyers, two Victory II-class Star Destroyers, one Victory I-class, and he even got one of those new Imperator-class Star Destroyers. He also has hundreds of these new Starfighter/Bomber series called TIE Fighters and Bombers. He's using the fleet to continue the recruitment and training of more agents for Freelancer. But he's always on the move, never in one place for too long. I don't even know where the fleet is until they contact me to meet them."

Cal cursed at that, "Dammit! Okay, at least we know what to look for," he said, "Alright, I want you go back to what you were doing, before Tex caught you, if they contact you, tell them you got jumped by Trandoshans and waited for us to distract to make your escape, got it?" Cal instructed and Wash nodded at that.

"Sounds like a plan," he said as he got took his helmet from Cal before putting it on. "Thanks for this, Cal. I really owe you one for this."

"Heh, don't mention it." Cal said. "Now get going." Wash nodded, and he then moved into the shadows and disappeared.

"Ok, now let's get to Sev and get the hell out of here." Boss said.

"We should probably try to link up with Marik and the Slice Hounds." Kari said. "Wash did say they and Torrent Company went against 66, so maybe Mom might know where they are."

"And, we should try to see if any other Clones also went against 66." Tex said. "As much as I hate to admit it, we're gonna need all the help we can get."

"Wow, Tex needing help?" Tucker said. "Did Hell freeze over or something?"

BAM!

"OOOH!" Tucker yelped as Tex's fist connected with his balls,"What. The. Fuck?" he grunted and he fell on his knees. Church then face-palmed.

"Tucker, you never learn to keep your mouth shut," he grumbled out, and everyone sighed at their team-mates stupidity.

"Alright enough of this shit, let's go get Sev, get back to the ship, and get out of here," Cal said as he prepped his blaster.

"Ditto!" Sarge said as he, readied his shotgun. "Time to get cracking!"

With Marik and Jango

Marik looked through his Macrobinoculars as he observed the Pirate base in front of them a few Kilometers out. The Base itself was built surrounded by large hills on all sides but the main entrance, which was a large gate guarded by a pair of AT-AP on the ground, and automated turrets in a pair of towers. The base itself was what one would expect from a Pirate base, a few surface-side structures on top, and such.

"Hmm, got themselves all set up nice here," Marik said as he looked at the base. Jango as he looked at the base with his own set of macrobinoculars.

"I agree with you on that," Jango said and then tensed, "Marik, left upper corner of the base" Marik followed his instructions to looked to thw upper left corner and zoomed in.

"And there they are," he said, as his eyes fell on Boba and Sintas, along with the rest of their team, their hands in cuffs as they were lead into what they suspected to be the Prison of the base.

"Their alive, at least." Marik said before chuckling. "But Boba sure looks pissed off. They probably caught him and the others off-guard or something." He then sighed "Well, let's get him out of there, eh Jango?" He said, and Jango nodded as they stood back up and headed down the Hill they were on, to where the rest of their attack force waited.

Aira saw her husband and Marik coming down and went over to him, "Did you see him?" she asked worriedly, and Jango nodded.

"Yep, he and the others are in a building in the Northwest part of the base," he said and Aira sighed in relief, and Jango smirked a bit, "Although he pissed if the look I saw on his face is anything," he said and Aira giggled.

"Well, he is our son after alll, so he had to pick that up." Aira said before getting serious. "So, what's the plan?"

"Well attack at Sundown," Jango said. "Our main force will strike the front gate, to draw their attention. The Null-ARC's will be with them. Meanwhile You, Me, Marik, Arla, Omega Squad, and Zule will sneak into the base using the same route Boba used to get inside in the first place from behind. Once we bust him and his team out, we'll plant the charges at the Early Warning station and blow it up, after which our fleet will arrive to take out the Pirates in Orbit, and deploy reenforcments to the surface to help deal with the ones down here."

Aira nodded at that, "Sounds like a plan," she said. Meanwhile Marik was thinking of which Clone Troopers were better, his or Jango's. Jango looked at him and could tell by the posture, that he was thinking.

"What are you thinking about, Marik?" Jango asked and his pupil looked at him.

"Just thinking of who's Clone Troopers would be better in a fight. Yours or mine?" He asked.

"Hmm, an interesting though." Jango agreed. "But we all know who's men would win."

Marik chuckled "Ya, we do." And they both said at the same time "Mine" before looking at one-another.

"Good one, Adiik, for a moment there I thought you said your men could beat mine!" Jango said, while Marik glared.

"They could!" He said. "Every last one of my men are battle-hardened soldiers!"

"My men have been fighting Separatists behind their lines for 3 years!" Jango retorted, while the Clones and everyone else looked at the two argue.

"My men have fought on hell-holes, like Jabiim and Umbara! And Umbara, may I remind you, was no cakewalk! Add to that nightmare, one of the Jedi Generals went Rogue!" Marik countered. Some troopers who were veterans of that winced.

"He had to bring that up," said one of the ARF Troopers wearing the 26th Battalion Armor with flames on his helmet.

"Boys, behave." Aira said, armed crossed while Zule nodded. "We have more important things to worry about than who's forces are better."

"Fine..." They both said, "But this discussion isn't over yet!"

The girls just rolled their eyes 'Men,' they all thought. 'Can't stand them...yet we can't seem to live without e'm.'

"That aside, I think we should prepare to move out." Revan said. Marik nodded in agreement.

"I couldn't agree with you more Rev," He said and Revan grinned.

"Of course you do, that's why you chose me as second-in-command to you and Zule," he said and Marik laughed.

"True, alright then, let's move out," the Mandalorian said.

Meanwhile

With Jade and Trips

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

After the Razorback had docked with the Sundred Heart, Senator Organa then guided Trips and Jade to where Yoda, Obi-wan, Kass and Mak were. "I am quite glad to see some Clones still on our side." Bail said. "When I went to the Jedi Temple to see what was happening, some 501st Clones nearly gunned me down if that one Jedi Younglings hadn't arrived in time." He then sighed "I can't believe this is actually happening, though." He said.

"I know the feeling." Trips said. "When Palpatine came on my Communicator to issue Out 66, I thought he'd gone Mad. But by the looks of things, it seems he's been Crazy ever since the War Began."

Bail nodded solemnly at that, "You're not the only one who thinks that, Commander. Several Senators, along with myself, believed the seat of power went to his head." he said and Tripsa couldn't help the chuckle.

"That maybe, Senator, that just maybe," The Clone said as they arrived at the meeting room on the ship. The doors opened and the two stepped in and they immediately saw Obi-Wan and Master Yoda who were conversing with Kass and Mak, and then turned in their direction. "Jade! Trips! Great to see ya!" Kass said, smiling as they walked in.

Jade returned the smile "Good to see you two as well," She said, before bowing before the two masters. "And Master Obi-Wan, Master Yoda, it's good to see both of you are alright."

"Good as well, to see you Jade." Yoda said, smiling. "And, Commander Trips. To see Clones on our side, good news this is."

Trips nodded at the old Jedi Master, "Thank you Master Yoda, the Hades Corps is and still is honored to fight for the Jedi and the Republic,"

The two masters and the former Padawans smiled at that, "When Kass told me that the entire Hades Corps didn't follow the order to eliminate Jade and the rest of the Jedi. I was shocked!" Obi-Wan said, surprise coloring his tone.

"Trips and the Hades Corps aren't the only ones Master Kenobi, apparently Commander Bly and the Star Corps refused to follow orders as well and faked Aayla's death," the other Jedi were shocked by this, and Jade just grinned more, "And that's not all, Torrent Company from the 501st decided against it as well, and with the help of the Slice Hounds, they managed to evacuate quite a few Padawan's, Guards and Younglings from the Temple as well. And on top of that, Demon Company, and the 42nd Hunter Regiment also defected. All together, that puts our numbers around the amount of a Sector Army."

The Jedi and Senator were floored by those numbers. Bail was the first to come out of his shock.

"S-Sector Army strength? My, what could've influenced so many clones to desert like that?" He asked in shock and Trips grinned in satisfaction.

"Don't know sir, but it appears that some 'certain' traits of the Slice Hounds passed on to them," Trips theorized.

Obi-wan sighed, but smiled "Well, Zule and Marik do tend to get people to not quite follow the rules." He said. "For once, I'm glad its true."

"And where now, are Padawan Xiss and Commander Marik?" Yoda asked, and Jade nodded in understanding.

"They are in the Ordo System, in the Mandalore Sector," she said, causing the Jedi and the Viceroy of Alderaan to quirk an eyebrow.

"What are they doing there?" Kass said and Jade shook her head.

"Honestly, we believe they're gonna use it as a safe haven, other than that, I do not know," the Jedi General said. Obi-Wan rubbed his chin in thought.

"It's probably for the best, and Marik does have friends in the Mandalore Sector, so we shouldn't worry," the Jedi said and Yoda nodded.

"I hope right, you are," He said. "The others, what of them?"

"Well, the rest of the Hades Corps is at Hoth right now, setting up a base for us to use." Trips answered. "We found an abandoned Separatist Space Station with 15 Usable ships along with it, fully equipped with enough droids and equipment to, and I quote from Revy, 'to take over Endor 5 times over'. Not to mention that Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser we recently found crashed into the surface of the Planet."

"Also, the Demon Company are hiding near the Teth system, the Hunter Regiment is at Ilum, while Alaya and the Star Corps are hiding at Yavin." Jade said, and the Jedi were, again, suprised.

"By the Force, Jade, you sure have been busy," Mak said and the others nodded in agreement.

"I'll say, you find a fleet and a Praetor in one day! Geesh! What else is new?" Kass said and she was taken aback by Jade's grin.

"Well, considering a certain Mandalorian Bounty Hunter back from the dead, nothing much," Jade said, much to the confusion of her fellow Jedi, and Bail.

"And by what, certain Mandalorian do you mean, hmm?" Yoda asked, and both Jade and Trips grinned. "We'll give you a hint." Jade said. "Even though he died 3 years ago, throughout the war we've seen his face on all of our troops."

The others blinked at that, but then their eyes went wide. "You can't possibly mean...?" Obi-Wan said, and Trips nodded. "Yup, Jango Fett is very much alive." He said. "The person you saw Mace kill on Geonosis was a Clone he personally trained to fake his death in the eyes of Dooku. Since then, he's been leading a group of Clones and Mandalorians against the Separatists behind their lines called the Neo True Mandalorians, and has been working with Lady Artemis the whole time."

Yoda chuckled a bit "Full of surprised, Jango Fett is." He said. "Where now is he?"

"With Marik and the Slice Hounds at Ordo." Trips said, "He helped them in the evacuation of the temple according to Lady Artemis." However, before anyone could say more, there was a beep on the Room's Comm's. "Sir, this is Captain Antillies." Came the voice of the Captain. "We just picked up ships that just dropped out of Hyperspace. I have Identified them to be a Nebulon B-class Escort Frigate, a Marauder-class Corvette, and a YG-4210. I have identified them to be the Red Dawn from Demon Company, the Loyalty from General Kota's Militia, and the Summer's end from Hunter Regiment."

Jade's eyes widen at the names of the ship, particulary the last ship, "That's my Master and brother's ship!" she said excitedly, as Antilles continued, "They're hailing us, sir,"

Bail nodded at that, "Open the channel then, Captain," the Senator from Alderaan said.

"Yes sir," Antilles replied, and a few seconds later, four holographic images appeared from the table. The first was of a 29 year old male with shoulder-length blond hair and blue eyes, and wearing a Republic Flight Suit. The Second showed an older man with gray hair tied into a pony tail, brown eyes, and wore Jedi robes mixed with Customized Armor Plating. Finally, were the two images of a 40 year old male with short brown hair and blue eyes with Jedi Robes, and a younger male looking to be about Jade's age with the same eye and hair color, and a similar armor configuration.

"This is Jedi Commander John Cypher of Demon Company." The Blond man said. "I am here with Jedi Master Rahm Kota, Master Taylor Masao and Knight Robert Lee. Do you read me?"

"This is Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, we read you Commander," Bail said and John seemed to grin, "Good to hear your voice Senator Organ, is that the Mantis I see by your ship, along with a Consular-class cruiser with the Hades Corps markings?" the Jedi Starfighter Ace asked, and Bail smiled.

"That they are Commander," The Senator said, "I also have Master Yoda and Master Kenobi on board as well,"

"Thank the force," General Kota said, sighing. "Good to see some of the Council are still alright."

"My thoughts exactly," Masao said. "Senator Organa, is my Apprentice Jade Lee there? I am hoping so seeing the Hades Corps ship docked with yours."

Jade smiled as she stepped forward "I'm here Master, Robert." She said. "I'm alright."

"Jade! Oh, thank the force your alright!" Robert said, in relief. "We were beginning to worry about you!"

"It's good to see your alright too," Jade said. "And I also have some good news to all this dark day,"

"And what is the good news, Jade?" Masao asked his former Padawan and the other three quirked an eyebrow as well. Jade smiled softly as she gave her answer.

"That not all the Clones are following Order 66 as we all feared," Jade said suprising the four.

"You're joking, right?" General Kota said in shock and it was then Trips stepped forward, "I can prove that General Kota, as you can see, I'm still at General Lee's side," the Clone Commander said, "Along with the rest of the 247th Mobile Assault Corps."

"No way!" Robert said, eyes wide as were the others. "The WHOLE Hades Corps deffected?"

"And their not the only ones." Jade said. "In addition to your own forces that defected, The Star Corps managed to fake Alaya's death and are now hiding in the Yavin System. Along with the 26th Slice Hounds and Torrent Company from the 501st went against the order by managing to evacuate a few dozen Jedi Younglings, Padawans and Guards from the Temple when the rest of the 501st attacked, they are now currently in the Ordo system."

"So, by adding up our combined forces, that puts the grand total of Clones that defected around the strength of a whole Sector Army." Kass said, and the four looked absolutely stunned.

"By the force..." Kota said as he rubbed his head. "I could understand some Clones not following the Order, which I'm thankful for, but a whole Sector Army?"

"Well, all of the groups they mentioned worked with the Slice Hounds, so it was only inevitable." Masao said, with a chuckle, before getting serious. "So, what do we do now?" He asked.

"We were discussing, before Jade and Trips got here, about what to do with the Homing beacon at the Jedi Temple." Obi-wan said. "It is relaying a message to all of known space for all Jedi to return home, saying the War's over."

"It's a Trap, I assume?" John asked, and Obi-Wan nodded, "Most definitely, John. Which is why we must head back to Coruscant with haste and recalibrate the beacon, and warn all other surviving Jedi to stay away," the Jedi master said making everyone nod.

"Sounds like a plan. But the Corusacant Home Fleet will definitely shoot us down since they probably already know that our respective forces have defected," Kota said, which Obi-Wan nodded.

"I'm aware of that Rahm. Which is why Senator Organa is going to smuggle us in. While our respective ships will stay out of sight," Obi-Wan said, "You, Master Masao and Robert will join us while your ships wait elsewhere."

"They can wait with the Hades Corps Forces at Hoth if you want." Trips said. "We're working on establishing a base there, and they could use some help."

"Agreed, but we should try to make contact with the other Clones that defected." Taylor said, turning to Robert. "Robert, I would like you to take our ships to the Yavin system, and get in contact with Alaya." He said. "Then head for Ordo, and meet up with the Slice Hounds. Also inform the rest of the fleet to head for Concordia."

"Yes Master," Robert said and then turned his head to his sister, "Sorry I have to run off again, sis,"

Jade just shook her head at that, "It's okay Robert, I'll be alright, besides I have Trips to look out for me. Just take care of yourself," the Jedi knight said to her brother who grinned and nodded.

"Hey, remember who your talking too!" He said and Jade sighed. "That's what worries me." She said, still smiling though.

"While he's at it, I think we'll have the Mantis join them while we're gone." Kass said. "Then they should head to Concordia to meet up with Ne'tra Kad. Thankfully, their helping us out in this mess, and they should be able to point us in the right direction for any more Clones that are defecting, as well as any surviving Jedi. We'll meet back up there, and we'll head to Hoth Together."

"Sounds like a Plan." Kota said. "I'll have the rest of my militia fleet head to Concordia as well, and join you on the journey there."

"Then Alright, Master Kota, Master Masao, Master Cypher, Mak and Kass." Yoda said. "Join us on the Sundred Heart, you will. Reach the Jedi Temple Together, we will."

The three mentioned Masters nodded at that, "Understood, Master Yoda," they said at the same time and the images winked out.

Trips then turned to Jade, "I better go tell the Razorback leave without us and go with the Summer's End back to Yavin," The Clone said and Jade nodded.

"Good idea," Jade agreed, and Trips left to the bridge to talk to Captain Antilles.

"It looks like our odds have gone up considerably." Obi-Wan said. Yoda nodded "Yes, it is." He said. "To have Clones like the Slice Hounds and Hades Corps on our side, good it is."

"I couldn't agree more, Master Yoda," Jade said. The Jedi left the room and proceeded to the bridge.

Half an hour later, after General Kota and Taylor Masao boarded the Sundered Heart, the Loyalty jumped into hyperspace back to it's fleet, while the Razorback, Summer's End, Mantis and the Red Dawn headed to the Yavin System.

After all the other ships left, the blue trimmed CR-70 then changed course and jumped in hyperspace, it's destination: Coruscant.

Meanwhile

Back with Delta Squad and the Verpine Team

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"Tango Down!" Cal shouted as he blasted the head off of a Trandoshan.

"Nice shot!" Boss said as he and Delta opened fire, he and Fixer with their DC-17m's in Rifle mode, while Scorch had his in Anti-Armor mode, blowing a path through the last remaining Trandoshan's between them and the Cell Sev was being held in.

Cal nodded "Thanks!" He said as he pressed forward. "Sarge! Tex! Keep pressing! Caboose, Donut, Church, Griff! Draw their fire!"

Donut and Caboose followed the order despite not knowing what Cal meant, Church was about to do the same when he saw Griff still huddled on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Church said to him, and Griff gave him a look that clearly said: Are you nuts?

"What's it look like I'm doing? You guys want to get yourselves shot? Be my guest, but there is no way I'm gonna-" Griff was cut off as Tex appeared behind him and then kicked him in the Nad's from behind, sending him flying forward to where the others were, screaming like a girl the whole way.

"Learn to be a Team-player Griff!" Tex shouted.

"Your one to talk..." Church said, but Tex just ignored him as she opened fire with her DC-15S. Church then went to where Caboose was.

"Hey Caboose! See those guys on the catwalk! You should help them!" Church instructed him, shocking the Commandos.

"What did he just say?" Fixer shouted, and Cal held a hand up, "Just watch, and you'll understand," he said and the commandos looked back at the two Mandalorians.

"Yay! I love helping people!" The blue armored Mandalorian as he stood up and instead of helping the Trandoshan Mercenaries on the catwalk, he fired his SC blaster rifle and nailed them right between the eyes.

"Sorry! They got in my way when I was trying to help them," Caboose said sadly, while the Commandos' eyes widened.

"Remind to never ask him for help of ANY kind, ever," Scorch said and Boss and Fixer nodded in agreement.

"Ya, we learned that the hard way...I still have the Scars to prove it as a reminder." Tucker said. It was at that moment that the last Trandoshan was killed, and at last the area was secured.

"Alright, that should be the last of them, for now at least." Boss said. "Fixer, how farther are we from Sev's location?"

"One second," Fixer said as he looked at his Datapad. "According to this...his cell should be just beyond that door." He pointed at the last door in front of them.

"Got it!" Tex said as she cracked her knuckles, "Stand back everyone, and let me do my magic!"

"No no no, wait...!" Fixer tried to warn her.

"Too late...," Church said as he saw his former girlfriend get into position

With that she ran forward and kicked the door open sending it flying against the wall.

"Are you Crazy!" Fixer shouted. "You could have hit Sev! I just told you he's in there!"

"Ah, he'll be fine." Tex said as she walked into the room, the others sighed as they followed in. Inside was another Prison Block, with multiple Cell's. The one on the opposite side of the door was empty, thankfully, because that was where the Doors blasted into when Tex kicked them down.

"What the hell was that!" A very familiar voice said from down the hall, in the only occupied prison cell. Delta Squad immediatley recognized it.

"Sev! Sev is that you?" Scorch yelled out, and it was silent for a few seconds until..."..Scorch? Is that you?" Sev's voice said and if people could, they would've seen the huge grin on Scorch's face.

"Damn right it's me buddy! And the rest of the squad is here with me!" Scorch answered as he and the group went over to the cell and there standing up, was RC-1207 'Sev' the missing fourth member of Delta Squad.

"About damn time you showed up!," Sev shouted. "I was beginning to think I was gonna have to bust out of here all by my damn self! Now are ya letting me out of here or what?"

Boss chuckled, smiling for the first time in a long time. "Great to see you to, Sev." He said. "Fixer, get that door open!"

"Right away sir!" Fixer said as he got to slicing the door panel.

"So Sev, what happened back there? We heard what sounded like Destroyer Droids ambushing you," Scorch said and Sev nodded at that.

"That's exactly what it was," He said as he remembered that day in the Wookiee Capital, "I was about to regroup with you guys when four of them jumped me. When I tried to call for help, something was jamming my comm," That caused the Commandos to remember when they lost contact with him.

"Yeah, I remember that," Fixer said as he continued slicing the panel, "We were going to go after you, but we were forced to follow orders and pull out..." The Slicer shook his head as he pressed the last button. "Bingo, your out." He said, and the cage doors swung open, and the Sniper Stepped out.

Boss reached for his thigh and pulled out his DC-15 hand blaster, and handed it to Sev. "Once we're out of here, we'll get you a real rifle." He said, and he could tell Sev was grinning as he took the Pistol.

"Alright, let's get out of here before more Trandoshan's show up!" Kari said, and the others nodded as they ran to the exit of the base, with Cal activating his comm.

"Sheila! Sheila, if you hear me, get the ship warmed up, and launch one of the Gunships to our position!" He shouted. "We need to get out of here!"

"Affermative." A mechanical voice replied. "CR-25 Engines are powering up, and now deploying LAAT/i Gunship on Auto-pilot to your position. ETA 5 Minutes" Then a new voice came through. "Cal? Are you alright? Where were you!"

"I'm fine, Doc, we're all fine." Cal said as they ran out of the base. "Just get the Blood Gulch ready to take off, just make sure Sister's awake and ready to get us off this planet when we get there."

On the other end, Doc nodded, "Roger that! Just give me a few minutes!" the Medic said.

"Good, I'm sending Sheila the coordinates to give to the gunship now! Once we're back on board we're gonna have to move fast and head back to Mandalore!" Cal said, "We gotta report to Lady Artemis ASAP!"

"Right, we'll get ready over here! See ya soon guys!" Doc said, and the Comm went off.

The team of Mandalorians and Clones continued forward until they reached a clearing, where not long after their Gunship arrived. They quickly boarded it, while Cal and Griff took command of the Gunship. Despite him being overly lazy, Griff was surprisingly one of the best pilots anyone has ever seen, a trait that was shared with his Sister.

"Alright, punch it!" Cal shouted to Griff, who nodded. "Got it, we're out of here!" He said as he maxed out the engines of the LAAT/i and they flew out of there, closing the doors.

Sev sighed heavily as he leaned back in his seat. "I heard that," Scorch said, with a light chuckle.

"Shut it, Scorch." He said, but continued to smile. "So, what did I miss?"

"Not much, really, other than recently we went Rouge from the Republic to save you." Scorch said. "And if what that Freelancer guy said is true, then it's probably for the best this way."

It was then that Sev remembered something, "You know, come to think of it, I remember hearing the Advisor for just a few seconds before my comm was completely jammed," he said, making the other members of Delta Squad and the Mandalorians look at him in wonder.

"What did he say?" Boss asked as Sev continued to think about it.

"I think he said, 'Yes my Lord' , or something like that," Sev said, he then noticed the wide-eyes of the others. "What?"

"Sev...I think we're gonna have to bring you up to speed on what's happened in the last few hours." Tex said, and Sev listened to their story, as they told them about their mission to get him out of there, and what Wahsington told them.

A few Minutes Later

"You have GOT to be kidding me." Sev said, once they finished. "Palpatine's a Sith Lord? Damn, I always had my doubts against that guy, but this is ridiculous!"

"Ya," Boss said. "Come to think of it, our mission to take down that Separatist Destroyer had extremely low survival probabilities. It was a Suicide Mission, even to us!"

"Ya, and if we were all KIA it would have been a major blow to the Republic." Fixer said, sighing. "From the way I see it, it looks like Palpatine wanted all of us to get killed back there." Scorch didn't like that at all, and he showed it.

"Why the fuck would he do that?" Scorch said in outrage, "I know we're not like the regular army clones that are completely loyal to him, but geez!"

Cal decided at that moment to speak, "Think about it Scorch, the possible reason Palpatine wanted all of you to get killed was because unlike the others, you, Omega, and possibly other Commando squads were loyal only to your trainers Walon Vau or Kal Skirata," he reminded the demolitions expert who looked at him.

"So? That's because we and Omega saw them as the only father-figures we ever had! It doesn't mean we would betray the Republic!" Scorch argued. And Fixer sighed, "It doesn't matter if we're loyal to the Republic or not Scorch," he said. "Especially now. We're not working for the Republic now, but we need to get in contact with Omega, the Null-ARC's and the others. They couldn't have obeyed 66, I just know it."

"Fixer's right, all that maters now is finding the others." Boss said, before walking into the Cockpit. "How much longer till we get to the Blood Gulch?" He asked Griff and Cal.

"Just a few Minutes! Its just up ahead!" Griff said. "We had to take the long-way around to avoid Republic, and CIS Patrols...Ah! There it is!" He then pointed forward, where they could clearly see a single CR25 Troop Carrier that was colored brown with steel trimming in the air.

"Alright, let's get docked and get out of here." Cal said as they guided the LAAT/i to the Carrier, and latched onto it. Once it docked the doors opened everyone left and headed for the Cockpit. A few minutes later and they found two Mandalorians already there. A male wearing Purple Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor with a black Jumpsuit, who had brown hair and eyes, and a Female with Yellow Shock trooper armor and a Grey Jumpsuit, and had Orangish hair tied into a pair of pony tails and brown eyes.

"About time you guys showed up!" Kaikaina, aka 'Sister' said.

"We had to take a detour," Cal said as he, Team Verpine, and Delta Squad entered the cockpit, "Did you set the Hyperspace coordinates for Mandalore?" he asked and Doc nodded.

"Yeah, Sheila just did," Doc confirmed and Cal nodded.

"Good then let's get out of here, pronto! I don't want to be here when the Republic shows up and starts asking questions," he said and the two nodded with Sister manning the controls.

"Gotcha! Alright Sheila, let's blow this joint!" the Female Mandalorian said, "Copy that. Entering Hyperspace in T-minus 15 seconds! Strap in everyone!" the A.I. said and everyone did what she said and picked a seat and strapped in.

"5...4...3...2...1...Entering Hyperspace Now." And with that, the CR25 Blood Gulch Escaped Kashyyyk, and entered Hyperspace.

Tex: And there you have it, another Chapter of We Dared.
