The Rogue Shadow landed on the surface of Dantooine before Sabine and the Louds stepped out, many of the Earthling family overwhelmed at the first time stepping on a foreign planet.
The Mandalorian girl took notice that the Ghost had already arrived and went over to where Kanan, Zeb, and Hera were and took notice of the look on the face of her Jedi friend.
"You okay?" Sabine asked, gaining Kanan's attention.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just the thought of being in another war..." Kanan said before trailing off.
"It's okay. We'll be right there with you." Hera said as she softly placed hand in Kanan's own. Just then, the group looked up to see the Phantom flying down before docking with the Ghost. Lincoln then stepped out of the ship, Zeb taking notice of what hung from his hip.
"Please don't tell me you went through all that for a second lightsaber." Zeb said, gaining a chuckle from the white haired Jedi before he pulled out the true prize, gaining widened the eyes of all his companions, though a raised brow from a few of his family members.
"A beat up old helmet?" Lori asked, not realizing the significance.
"That's not just any helmet. That belonged Revan. Hero of the two of the most deadly wars that the Jedi have ever faced." Kanan explained.
"Not just that. He was also a key factor in the rise of Mandalor the Preserver. Having that will definitely have a good chunk of my people joining the Rebelion." Sabine said before the group heard something and looked up to see a Manadlorian cruiser. "Speaking of my people. Looks like my mother brought all of clan Wren." She said, gaining a nervous "Oh boy." from Lincoln.
"What's wrong?" Leni asked, noticing her brother's nerves.
"I'm just really worried about meeting... my girlfriends family." Lincoln said, gaining shocked looked from his sisters who were looking back and fourth between him and Sabine. "Cover your ears." He mumbled to the other Specters.
"Why would w..." Zeb began before an ear shattering "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Came from Lori, Luan, Lisa, and Leni.
'Weirdly enough. I've missed that.' Lincoln thought before the cruiser landed and a group of Mandalorians with grey and yellow armor walked out of it.
Sabine then let out a sigh and readied herself before walking up to the leader of the group.
"Hello, Mother." Sabine said as her mother ran a hand over her hair.
"You've changed your color. That's your father's influence." Sabine's mother, Ursa noted with a smile. "So. Where is this Jedi of yours?" She asked before Lincoln walked up, doing his best to hide his nerves as Sabine introduced him. "Sabine Tells me that you killed a Krayt Dragon. I would like to see the pearl." She said before Lincoln unclipped his lightsaber and disassembled it with the Force. Ursa then looked over the jewel and smirked before she signaled for Sabine and Lincoln to follow her, Lincoln quickly reassembling his weapon as they did.
Inside the clan Wren cruiser, Ursa led Lincoln and Sabine in to a room with a small pod in the center that was next to Sabine's brother.
"Tristan!" Sabine called, running to hug her brother.
"Told you we'd be here when you called." Tristan said before Sabine took notice of the pod.
"Is that it?" Sabine asked before Tristan patted on the pod.
"Yup. Unfortunately, with clan Saxon breathing down our neck, we had trouble getting time to make it and its missing the top." Tristan said.
"Wait. What's missing the top?" Lincoln asked before Sabine nodded to her mother and brother before the pod opened and Lincoln's eyes widened in shock. "Sabine. Are you sure?" He asked before the Mandalorian girl took his hands.
"Like I told you when we first got together, I don't want to wait till its too late. So, if you'll have me..." Sabine said before Lincoln began to stroke her face.
"Of coarse I will." Lincoln said as the two smiled at each other before Sabine signaled him to take the contents of the pod.
"Very good and now, I have something for you, Sabine." Ursa said before holding out a case to her daughter. "For the occasion." She smiled as Sabine opened the case and grinned.
Outside the cruiser, several more ships began to enter the atmosphere of Dantooine and land all around them. Hera then looked to see a black haired bearded man.
"Senator Organa. It's good to see you." Hera said before shaking the man's hand.
"And you, captain Sendula." The Senator said, returning the shake. "So, it would appear the time has come." He said.
"Yes. We have to stop the Empire before they blindside more planets like they did the Earth." Hera said, getting a nod of agreement from Senator Organa.
"Well, I'm behind you. But some of the people are afraid." Senator Organa said.
"Don't worry. The one who put out the call has just the thing needed to bring the courage out of people." Kanan said, getting glimmers of pride out of the Louds at the praise given to Lincoln.
"I certainly hope so." The senator said before he looked past Hera and the group turned to see Sabine and Lincoln walking back to them, the former now having, a short sword that widened at the upper half of the blade, high tech vambraces and a small jetpack added to her gear and the later now wearing a black hooded cape over a set of Mandalorian armor that had no helmet.
"Woah. Didn't see that coming today." Zeb said with a surprised look on his face.
"Sabine, are... are you sure?" Hera asked, knowing the significance of Lincoln being granted the armor.
"Yeah. We both are." Sabine said, the Louds beginning to pick up on what was happening.
"Let's table that for right now. Let's get everyone together." Lincoln said, gaining nods from the others.
A short time later a large group which included the Hondo's crew, Kyle, and Jan, and the Wookies that the Specters had rescued when Lincoln had first joined.
"I look out and I see friends, family, and strangers." Lincoln said as he stepped forward, the helmet of Revan hidden beneath his cape. "All of us brought together by one enemy. The Empire. They have taken lands, home, freedom, and now children. One barely old enough to speak. Well, I for one say no more. No more letting them take what is ours, no more hiding, and no more cells. The time has come for us to stand together and until the the time comes when when we either die as criminals or stand as heroes, we will fight as rebels." He said before dawning the helmet of Revan and ignited the viridian blade of his first lightsaber, gaining cheers and weapon raises from the entire crowd.
Later, the Specters and Louds were standing around a holo table as Lincoln put down a large chest and opened it to show bulky armor and sets of weapons.
"Four complete sets of Commando gear complete with DC-17m custom rifles and DC-15s." Lincoln said before taking one of the rifles and looked through the sites. "Add the different attachments to alternate between assault rifle, sniper, and rocket launcher. Without those, it makes a pretty decent boom stick. The clips on the side in AR mode and and they pull half a millimeter to the left so be sure to compensate." He said before he handed the rifle to Luna.
"What about all the stuff in these packs?" Lori asked.
"Basic gear. Grapple cables, food rations, lock picks, healing stims, and explosives." Sabine explained, getting a double take from the Louds at the last item.
"Yeah. Luan. You're in charge of those. Don't set them off for fun." Lincoln said before handing the explosives to Luan.
"I'll resist the urge." Luan joked back to her brother before Kyle came walking up.
"Okay, calculating from where they left and the size of the Destroyer, this is the most likely spot for them to have to refuel on the way." Kyle said while highlighting a point on the map.
"Okay. Since units of Purge Troopers are minimalistic and the dent we dealt them back on Earth, we might just be able to take the station and the Destroyer if we play our cards right." Lincoln said with his knuckle to his chin.
"You have a plan." Lucy said, not needing the Force to sense her brother's intentions as he smirked and began to lay out the plan.
(On the Purge Destroyer)
Lynn was cringing in pain as electricity pulsed through her body, her teeth clenching as Petro approached and ended the shocks.
"You have done well to resist for this long." Petro said before Lynn spit in his face. "Hehe. You have spirit. So did the rest of us." He coldly said before he restarted the torture machines. Just then, he sensed something before he was shaken to the floor.
Outside the Destroyer, The Rogue shadow was flying with the Phantom and a V-Wing fighter directly behind it.
"Okay, the Tesla Cannon did its job on. Let's move!" Lincoln called from inside the V-Wing as the three ships began to move.
The Shadow cloaked it self before moving into the main hanger and blasting the ships there in while the Phantom hooked in to one of air locked while Lincoln blasted the engines with Ion torpedoes before moving to another airlock which latched around the cockpit of his fighter before he climbed out.
"Spector Six reporting in. I'm in position. How's everyone else.
"Spector One reporting in. Spector Three and I are approaching the bridge." Kanan said from his end.
"Spector Five reporting." Sabine said as Lucy, now clad in black pants, a black boots, and black best, and a white flight suit, sliced down the last of the mele weapon using troopers while being given cover fire by Luna, Luan, Lori, and Leni, now all clad in the Commando gear, each one painted on the joints and abs and having a dragon design painted over the helmets, Luna's being purple, Leni's green, Luan's yellow, and Lori's blue. "Dragon Squad and I just cleared the main hanger and we're making our way to the cells right now." She said.
"Spector Two reporting in. Fighters just came out of the backup hangers. Moving to engage." Hera said before several other ships came out to aid her in the battle.
"Copy that. I'm moving to the torture chamber." Lincoln said before cutting coms.
Several minutes later, Lincoln arrived at the entrance to a where Lynn was being held and ran in, using the Force to release her and caught her before she hit the ground.
"Lynn. Wake up." Lincoln said before pulling a stim out of his belt and using it to heal Lynn. She then flinched a little at the masked individual holding her before Lincoln held up a hand to calm her down. "It's alright. It's me." He said, Lynn's eyes widening as she realized it was him.
"Lincoln." She said in a tear filled smile before her eyes widened in fear. "Look out!" She called before Lincoln pulled out his purple saber and blocked an attack from Petro, boosting his own strike with a push to slam him him against a wall.
"Stay behind me." Lincoln said before handing Lynn his blaster before taking out his main lightsaber and igniting the viridian blade.
(Meanwhile)
Lily was letting out cries of extreme fear as six Troopers covered their ears.
"Ugh. Why can't we just terminate that brat?" One of the Troopers asked.
"Just give it some time. Once the engines and the coms are fixed, we'll get them to the facility and be done with..." Another Trooper was saying before the door was blown open and a smoke grenade was thrown in. Lori then rolled in and extended a blade on her gauntlet before stabbing one of the trooper and slicing the neck of another of another one before tossing them at two more as Luan threw an impact grenade at them and Luna shot the last two before taking off her helmet.
"Luna!" Lana and Lola cheered as Lilly laughed at the sight of the third oldest Loud sister.
"Don't worry. We're gonna get you out of here. Leni, get this door open!" Luna ordered before Leni ran in and pulled out a scomp key and picked the lock within seconds.
"Nice work." Sabine said, impressed with the ease at which Leni was able to get the door open.
"That's why we put her on breach detail." Lucy said before reaching out with the Force. "Looks like there's only one more thing to worry about here." She said, sensing Lincoln was engaged in battle.
(Back with Lincoln)
Lincoln and Petro continued their battle through the ship.
'Mixing Djem So with Juyo. Aggressive, but very slow.' Lincoln noted, his own style of mixing Niman and Shien affording him more than the necessities to defend against the mad dog style that Petro used.
Petro continued his assault on the white haired Jedi, not once being able to peirce through his defense. Growing ever more angry at his failure to over come Lincoln, the Third Brother slammed both of his sabers downward, only to receive a cross block from Lincoln and then kick to the chest, making him lose one of his sabers and fall right in front of an escape pod.
'I'm not through yet.' Petro thought before he reached for his saber with the Force. However, just before it reached him, the saber stopped in midair and shook for a moment before exploding in his face, leaving only the crystal which then flew in to Lynn's hand.
Taking advantage of Petro's surprise and pain to shoot a torrent of lighting at him and send him flying in to the door of the.
Petro looked up a the Jedi and his sister while holding his charred arm before desperately throwing his one good arm out and causing shards of the wall to begin flying at the siblings, Lincoln being forced to hold them back and allowing Petro to climb in to the pod and exit the ship, going in to Hyperspace the second in left he left the hull of the destroyer.
"I'll get him next time." Lincoln said before clipping his sabers back to his belt and taking off his helmet. "Are you o..." He tried to say to Lynn only for her to leap and and hug him. He remained silent for a few moments before a soft smile came to his face and he returned the hug.
With Petro gone, taking the remaining Troopers out and capturing the fuel station and the destroyer took little effort. The Ghost then docked in the main Hanger before Lynn Sr, Rita, and Lisa exited the ship to reunite with the others.
"I'm proud of you, Lincoln." Kanan said while patting his apprentice on the shoulder. "Things got tough and you didn't panic. You demonstrated the will and the leadership of a true Jedi." He said.
"Speaking of which. What are we going to do about my sisters?" Lincoln asked.
"They have the Force within them. If it guides them to be trained, then they will be." Kanan said, gaining a nod from Lincoln as inside the Rogue Shadow, Lynn sat alone, looking over the red Kyber crystal, feeling the pain it had gone through for years. She then rubbed it softly, the crystal beginning to feel comfort in her hand as red coloring gave way to a calming indigo.
(Meanwhile)
Parsecs away, a red haired man waring a beige flight suit and a beige poncho with a red bird and brown leather shoulder, bottom, and hood meditated as a patchwork lightsaber floated in front of before he sensed something and got up before looking down to a small black and white droid.
"Come on, buddy. I think I know where we're headed next." The man said before the droid jumped on to his should and he began to walk to a tall green ship.

Well, there you go guys, I hope you liked this chapter. Now, before I get a flood of questions regarding it, how I went with Cal's saber is Durasteel with Topal emitter, Cordova switch, peace and justice sleeve, and Cere for the back two parts. Well, anyway until next time and as always... Keep on keeping on.
