Galactic date: 3 February, 1 BBY
Location: Polis Massa medical station
"Sir, we're tracking a single TIE fighter entering our sector." Reported a Polis Massan officer. "Should we shoot it down?" He continued, but was interrupted when Ordo barged into the control room and stopped the officer. "No, wait! Patch him through."
"This is commander Ordo Skirata, identify yourself." Said Ordo. Soon, the comms in The control room crackled with a familiar voice. "This is Fives coming in, requesting for landing clearance." Said Fives from the other side. "Copy that. I'll see you in hangar 1-4. Ordo out." He immediately left the control room and sprinted to the hangar to welcome his much needed assistance.
"Good to see you, Fives." Greeted Ordo. "You too. How's the general?" Asked Fives as the two headed for the sick bay. "He's stable, but he isn't going anywhere far without your help, or at least advisory." Replied Ordo. He pulled out his clearance pass and scrolled it along the lock of the door. They went inside, and glanced at the patient lying on the bed.
"Back from the dead, general?" Greeted Fives. "Yup. I still don't get why all this has to be a secret." The patient replied in a frustrated voice. "We can't let the Empire discover this base. It's one of the last medical stations still active today. Anyway, what's keeping you from getting back into action?" Asked Fives.
"Feels like there's a blackhole inside me. Otherwise, I'm good." Fives cursed under his breath. He started thinking of how hard it was for him to get to this station, and the only reason was because of a simple symptom by Anubis. "I thought it was urgent. There must be something else." He grunted.
"Indeed there is. We have a Kaminoan defector here, Nala Se. You're not the only person that is being brought back from the dead Fives. Galen Marek was one of them too, along with a lot other clones you don't know." Fives' jaw dropped, but he was quick to recover from the shock. "So why did they ever exist?"
"Whatever the Empire has in stall for them, it's never good." Said the patient as Fives tossed him a dose of painkiller. "So, who's ready for a swim?" His face of agony turned into a battle-ready grin. He held on the side of the bed and stood up with a deep exhale escaping his mouth. "That's the general Bridger I know." Commented Ordo."Time to beat the Empire to the ground."
Four hours later...
A lone TIE fighter jumped out of hyperspace above the space of Kamino. Inside was a small strike team with the task of investigating the mystery of the undead army buried in the Kaminoan city of Tipoca. Their ship entered the atmosphere and made a final approach to the domed city.
"Pop smoke." Ezra left the seat and opened the hatch above him, allowing the two other clones to climb out the cockpit. "Time to bring this bird down." The three jumped, leaving the doomed aircraft to be destroyed by the charge set in it during the flight. They splashed down into the waves below seconds later and swimmed their way to the facility miles away.
The imperial officers have almost no attention to the downed TIE outside their city, and simply ignored the incident, giving the clones a rare opportunity to infiltrate the city from underwater. "Find a hatch." Ordered Fives. "There's no hatch underwater. We'll have to climb our way to the overpass on top of us to get into the city." Replied Ezra.
"Can't we just cut a hole through here?" Questioned Ordo. "I'd love to, but my lightsaber doesn't work underwater. We'll have to do this in the hard way. Let's go." Replied Ezra. The three swimmed to the surface and fired their grapple to the bottom of the overpass. They flew through the air like a rocket launched from a submarine and clinged under the bridge.
"Two guards above. Gonna need to take them out quietly." Whispered Ordo. "I got this." Ezra grinned as he force choked the two guards above him with ease. The stormtroopers were levitated in the air, hands stuck on their throats. They struggled until they were reduced to lifeless bodies hanged in the air. Ezra threw the bodies into the rumbling ocean and led the two clones inside the facility.
"I checked the schematics. It appears their lair is deep inside the city. Every route is heavily guarded by various types of guards. We don't know which is which. The vent system are divided into dozens of sectors, so crawling won't work for us either." Groaned Fives. "Wait, is that the armoury?" Ordo pointed at the square in the map. "That's right. This is Kamino man, I'm betting there are tons of goodies to salvage there." Fives smiled under his helmet.
"Let's go then." Said Ezra. The team sprinted to a stairwell and took down a pair of stormtroopers along the way. The three dashed down the stairs and unfortunately, ran into a cluster of e-webs and blaster bolts. Rockets flew overhead just inches from blowing their heads up. "What now?" Shouted Ordo. Ezra looked around and spotted a door with a hazard warning placed on it. "That's the armoury! Get the door open, I'll cover you!" Said Ezra as he pulled out his pistol with his free arm and started gunning down stormtroopers that get in the clones' way. Troopers fell and were replaced one by one.
"Damn! I'm locked out of the system! Any ideas?" Shouted Fives. Ordo then noticed a clearance pass strapped onto a downed stormtrooper's waist. He charged out and knocked out every stormtrooper he saw and made a run for the body. "Hit the deck!" He yelled when he saw yet another rocket flying towards Fives. He ducked, and the rocket barely missed him and hit the lock mechanism behind him. "Screw this! I'll try to pry it open! Keep them busy!"
Fives aimed his rifle and punched dozens of holes on the door and slipped his fingers inside. Ezra rolled towards him and deflected every blast flying at him and Fives while Ordo was running around the horde, gunning down stormtroopers as he pleases. "Ordo get back here! We need a little help!" Ordered the jedi. He reached for his belt and tossed a frag grenade into the middle of the stormtroopers. The ground beneath him shook violently as stormtroopers were sent flying across the hall.
Fives grunted and panted when the door was finally half open, enough for the rest to crawl or slide underneath. "Get inside! Now!" Ordo got in first and went prone to cover Ezra's entrance. The three quickly pulled the door down just before the stormtroopers reached it. The door vibrates when the pack rammed themselves against the 5cm thick dura steel. "We can't stay here forever." Reminded Ordo. "But that door's our only way out, literally." Fives pointed out.
"Okay. Somebody explain what are those." Ezra chimed in when he turned on the lights and found himself staring at three sets of blaze armor. "Because these things seem to be our best bet to get out without killing ourselves." He continued. "Holy hell. Now you're speaking my language." Ordo smirked in awe and astonishment. The three wasted no time to get inside the exoskeleton, and soon the three were up and ready to go.
"Let's do this."
