Here's the new chapter. This time we get to see Captain Wilco. The Clone Captain from Season 2 first two episodes. Many of us fans were distraught how Rampart killed off Wilco since he's pretty cool character. Out of all the clones, he's the only one who manages to corner and almost capture Clone Force 99.

And since this is an AU so his death isn't going to happen. Hope you guys enjoy this new chapter.

On the planet of Serenno the Empire has been busy. Captain Wilco is with his men as he's discussing things with them as they walked by the other Clone Troopers "Give me the update of recovering the missing containers." Captain Wilco asked one of the Troopers.

"We have been able to recover about 92% of the Counts war chest. The search team are still looking for the remaining 8% that are still missing." The Clone Trooper explained to Wilco.

"And the casualties?" Wilco looking at the Trooper with concern in his eyes.

"We're still waiting for the results. Sir, how are we going to explain this to the higher-ups?" The Trooper asked his Captain.

"I already sent in a report of this incident. Depends on their reaction, I'll face any punishment they'll give me."

Suddenly, the comm on his wrist pings as Wilco raised his arm up to answer "This is Captain Wilco. What is it?" Wilco answered.

"Captain Wilco, we're receiving a transmission." Said the Clone Trooper.

"Who is it from?"

"It's coming from Lord Vader himself sir."

When Wilco heard Vader's name, he immediately looked tense "Tell him I'm on my way." Wilco told him.

"Yes, sir. I'll tell him right away."

Once the call ended Wilco turned to his other men "Report back to me when you receive word about the remaining containers." Ordered Wilco.

"Yes, sir." The Clone Troopers then turned and run back to their posts as Wilco head somewhere else.

A command post has been set up during the operation of transporting all of Dooku's wealth off-world. Once Wilco arrived, he turned on the transmitter. A hologram of Darth Vader appeared in front of the captain. Wilco bowed to Vader as he took off his helmet "Lord Vader, it's an honor to have a chance to speak with you." Wilco greets the Darth.

"Captain Wilco, how are things on Serenno? Have you finish extracting the late-Count's spoil of war?" Vader asked the Clone Captain.

"Almost my Lord. We had hit some bumps… caused some delays. We're a bit behind schedule but we're almost finish."

"This setback wouldn't be the work of Clone Force 99, would it?"

Wilco was taken aback by Vader's question. Keeping a professional tone, he replied "I take it you read my report?" Said Wilco curiously.

"I have, seems they been causing quite a nuisance since they betrayed the Empire. Also, the reason you're behind your deadline transporting the last of Dooku's wealth he made during the course of the Clone Wars to Coruscant."

"Yes, sir. Many of my men are either killed or injured due of Clone Force 99 actions."

"Then I shall have someone to deal with them." Vader then scent something coming from Wilco as the latter looked down at the flood "I scent something is on your mind, Captain."

Wilco then looked at Vader "Lord Vader, permission to speak my mind?" Wilco asked Vader.

"Permission granted."

"Sir, let me go after Clone Force 99." Wilco begged Vader as Vader looked at Wilco with confusion.

"May I ask way?" Vader asked.

"It's my fault for what happened. Overseeing the task of making sure the Count's war chest is off-world was my responsibility. To make it right, allow me to track down the rouge clones who betrayed the Empire. So, I could capture them and bring them back to stand trial."

Vader stared at him in silence. Pondering at Wilco's speech. After several moments of silence, Vader then spoke "Are you certain about this? You do realize any failure that involves Clone Force 99 will be your sole responsibility." Vader warns the Clone Captain.

"I'm well aware. And I'll take any punishments. But I swore to you Milord, I'll track them down. No matter how long it'll takes." Wilco replied with determination.

"Very well, then captain. From here onward the task of capturing the traitors will be your top priority. Troops, supplies, and equipment will come to you whenever you need them. Track them down Captain Wilco, do whatever it needs to get it done. And remember anything related to Clone Force 99 will be solely on you."

"I understand my Lord. And thank you for giving me this chance to make up for my failure on Serenno." Wilco thanked Vader as the hologram turned off.

Suddenly, his comm turned on as a Trooper's voice is heard "Captain Wilco! Got word from one of our search teams! They found the last of Count Dooku's war chest! Send the gunships towards their location." Said the Trooper as Wilco puts on his helmet.

"Good. Tell all Troopers that we receive a new mission." Wilco replied.

"Pardon sir? New mission?"

"Lord Vader has given us the go ahead of hunting down Clone Force 99. I repeat, Lord Vader has given us the go ahead of hunting down Clone Force 99. Prepare to leave once our task on Serenno is complete."

"Yes, sir!"

The comm then turned off. Wilco looked towards the sky in deep thought. As the Clone Captain is fueled with determination to chase down and capture the rouge clones. A mission he is determined to complete. As his hunt for Clone Force 99 is about to begin.

Well, that's it for this chapter. I know it's not as long as my other chapters. But this is the best I could come up with. Especially with Captain Wilco. But at least he's going to be alive in this story unlike with the Bad Batch tv show. Leave a review and I'll see you all later. Hope you all will have a nice weekend.
