I'm having SO much fun with this fic! :D Thanks to Aurora Lunar 0Love This0 for reviewing! Please review and do my poll! I live on reviews! :D

Del listened to the hum of the Laat/i and wondered how the mission would go. Her group included, Don, Wooder, Abre, Fire'sspray and several of Shaak's troops. Shaak had been on the first Laat/i to leave. They would travel through the forest and meet them at one of the many Ty villages. Del was on the third to leave. Her group and two others were going to surround the Tano tribe's land and remove the separatists. The lights of the Laat/i were off so no one would see them coming. They flew low and everyone jumped off. Fire'sspray and Don were the first two off so they checked the surrounding land for patrols and droids. Don returned quickly reporting that he hadn't seen anything. Fire'sspray took longer and reported that she had seen a tank patrolling the land not far from the boarder of the Tano land. "It should return to the village soon."

"Let's take down that tank," Abre suggested. "Then we could use it to our advantage in the fight ahead."

"I agree; if we don't we will have more trouble freeing them."

Fire'sspray led the way to the tank and Del crept up to it. She cut a hole in the side of it and destroyed the droids inside before they could call for help. She climbed out and asked the troops if they would operate it. Wooder and Dac (one of Shaak's troops) said they would and took it toward the village. Everyone held their breath as they entered the village but no one noticed that there weren't droids in it. Del and the others began taking the droids out one by one. Soon the droids noticed but it was too late for them to fight back. The noise woke the villagers and they were surprised that they weren't captives anymore. Del's group and the other two removed the Togruta's bonds. A female Togruta (their leader) thanked them and several young men offered to help them. To Don's confusion, Del accepted.

"Del, why did you accept their help? They aren't trained to fight separatists like we are."

"I know, but they are trained to avoid and fight Akul." Del talked with the leader of the tribe, who said her name was Karavi Tano. She told Del that the separatists headquarters were in the capitol city of Corvala. That didn't surprise Del at all. What did surprise Del was that Karavi told her they had moved the entire Ti tribe to the base of the city. The movement of the tribe was a safety measure... the separatists knew the Jedi wouldn't risk the tribes safety. Killjoy, Del thought, we have to figure out a way to get rid of the seps without the Togruta getting hurt.

Then she walked over to talk to one of the young men who offered to join them. "Hi; what's your name?"

"Jarvo; what's yours?"

"Del; do you know a fast way to the Ty tribe's land?"

"Sure, one of my best friends live there."

"Can you lead us there?"

"Sure, let me get the rest of the guys together and we'll lead you."

"Thanks, Jarvo." Del gathered the groups and got them ready to go. Jarvo and his friends led them through the forest to get to the Ty tribe's land. They got there and found the other groups waiting. Shaak was standing there and staring into space. Jarvo and the rest of the men from the Tano tribe hung back, as if Shaak had some type of disease that they didn't want to get. The Tano and Ti tribes hadn't gotten along for, well, forever.

Shaak noticed Del, "Are you ready?"

"I am if you are."

"I am."

Alarm and Exhaust rushed up, "Where's Grate?"

"You mean he isn't here?"

"No, he didn't show up and neither did his group."

"Oh, killjoy, where's Grate?"

Another Cliffie. I'm SO bad. Karavi Tano isn't mine. She isn't Lucas's either. She is MindSprings. Read her story the Dance of the Akul. It's REALLY good! :D
