The Forced Rider 555 Chapter 11

I return to a galaxy 'far far away' and a 'long time ago' to bring you a new chapter of the Forced Rider 555.

I own Nothing!

:Chapter Start:

Shortly after the Blue Shadow Virus-Komino-Oceanic research station

Komino scientists were working on a scanning system searching the ocean floor of Komino, looking for Kominoian DNA samples from before the great flooding of their planet. As the majority of native inhabitants of the planet being clone decedents constant retrieval of DNA samples is needed to support the Genetic future of their species. It was during one of these research trips the discovery of a spaceship not of Komino design. A craft that was even older than the great flood, so they engaged in retrieval of the craft, the only symbol on the craft being a hollow triangle.

Coresaunt Military Port-A couple months after Blue Shadow Virus

Junk Wolf in full armour sigh while leaning on the hanger door ramp as the ship was resupplied. They had returned after spending a couple months stationed on a no named moon because the local planet felt it was a target to the Seperatists, due to the minerals on the planet is needed for scented candles. A fact they did not learn until three days ago when the Battledroids on the planet was discovered to be privately own by the planet in question, leading manufacturer of said candles. Who was arrested as soon as the information was discovered.

Junk Wolf was silently waiting to move out again, while Obi-won had gone to the temple to meet with the Council. He had offered for Junk Wolf to join him but Junk Wolf states, "Not interested in dealing with snobby Jedi, present company included." Kenobi just chuckled in amusement before leaving quickly.

After two hours of checking the supplies being installed on the ship when a clone trooper ran up to him and says, "Your needed at the Temple, Generals Skywalker and Secura and Commander Tano, went missing."

Junk Wolf sighs before asking, "What has Skywalker done now?"

"I don't know sir, just that there was an accident," the clone trooper states causing Junk Wolf to nod and walk over to the WolfBlade that R4G3R and Accel was already installed. He flew leisurely towards the Jedi temple at a slow pace compared to what he could normally fly. Once he reached the temple he slowly got out with R4G3R and was guided by Kenobi using the Skywalker method of leading him, using the Force to carry him into the temple and into the communications room.

Junk Wolf landed on his feet and asks, "What happened?"

"Hyperdrive Malfunction two days," Windu states while a diagram of the incident where a smaller transport went into Hyperdrive as it was trying to dock with the Resolute. Windu then continues by asking, "We have heard rumours about you ability to find people."

"Not just people," Junk Wolf states before touching the controls of the hologram and brings up the projected course seeing a yellow funnel displaying the possible direction the ship could have gone. Junk Wolf makes some adjustments and turn the funnel into a series of lines that ended at dangerous hazards and says, "I will check these systems, where they could have collided with a hazardous object in hyper speed and I will start at this system," indicating the third where they would have collided into a sun. Junk Wolf then says, "I will contact you lot with the details when I find them," Junk Wolf started walking back the way he had come in only to find Kenobi following him. Junk Wolf asks, "What do you want Ben?"

"I am going with you, first you talk about hazardous objects that would kill them if the collide with them and then said, 'When I find them,' instead of 'If.' I wanted to know what you meant," Kenobi questioned in confusion hidden with wisdom.

"Unfortunately Skywalker is on board according to your information," Junk Wolf states as the two enter the WolfBlade. Junk Wolf then continues, "Fortunately Ahsoka basically adopted that trait and gift for survival. Plus Clank is with them, so once we reach the system they are in I can locate them with the WolfBlade's sensors." Junk Wolf then shot into the sky at high speed and were in orbit within moments. Junk Wolf then says, "Plus my 'gut' is telling me that Ahsoka probably saved everyone again," getting an agreeing hum from Kenobi before they enter Hyper Space.

Two Days earlier-After Ahsoka managed to save the ship from colliding into a Sun, by the tried and true method of turning it off and on again-Maridun System-Maridum surface.

Ahsoka sighs as she finally removed Skywalker away from the ship due to the ship exploding repeatedly over time. Ahsoka and Aayla Secure, a blue female Twil'eck Jedi Master, were leaving the remaining Captain Clone troopers with Skywalker to keep him safe. Clank had stayed with Skywalker as well to ensure that the Clones had some warning of Skywalker's state or of any organic life forms getting close, which just so happened to saved everyone from getting eaten by a group of birdwolf creatures. With that done, Ahsoka placed a backpack on and the two Jedi and two Clone Troopers, start running towards a large tree in the distance, eventually finding giant seeds had fallen down to the ground and the two had to dodge a couple falling seeds before getting away from the tree and noticing that some of the previous the fallen seeds had been dragged away. They follow the path quickly as they can but it gets dark soon after and they end up walking through the night before finding the village and Ahsoka ran ahead of the Jedi master and two clone troopers while shouting, "I need a Doctor or Healer or medic, just please My master needs help."

Unfortunately the village Elder stepped, (A Humanoid Lemur wearing clothes), forward and says, "We do not want your kind here, you Republic only bring war."

Aayla Secura nod in understanding only for Ahsoka to shout, "We are not here because we want to be, our ship malfunction and we almost crashed. Feel free to salvage the remains of our ship, just please my Master is injured I don't think that he may not last another night."

"We will not let you destroy our way of life!" the Elder shouts only for a teen started arguing with the Elder until said Elder shouts, "I will not have their war be brought to our door step."

Ahsoka sighs and says, "Look we just need a doctor to help my Master, please," she was getting desperate.

The teen says, "Elder, we help them they leave when this Master is healed enough to leave."

The Village Elder frowns at that as Ahsoka simply asks, "Please," her voice was filled with desperation.

The Elder sighs and says, "Fine then, but one of you stays here until my son returns," Ahsoka nods and planned on her being the one to stay behind until the Elder states, "The Master Jedi, not the youngling."

Ahsoka accepted that, even keeping her calm from being insulted, with that the teen quickly left and retrieved his bag of medical supplies and quickly followed after Ahsoka and the two clones left with the teen healer going as fast as they could back to Skywalker. By the time they got there it was just reaching Sunset and Skywalker was awake defending his camp site with the Commanding Clone troopers they were shooting at the creatures before the Lemur teen Healer used some rope to tie one of the creatures up and threw some vials of liquid towards the others causing green smoke to disperse and scare the creatures away, "Root Worm pheromones, nasty creatures during the wet season but only around the trees," the Lemur walks over to Skywalker and says, "Down, let me help you," with that Ahsoka helped Skywalker onto the mat in the metal tent that the clones had set up, where Ahsoka saw Clank had been turned off mid word.

Ahsoka turned on Clank to hear him say, "in no condition to move," Clank blinked in annoyance and says, "That was why he asked me where my 'off' switch was." Clank crossed his arms and asks, "Did you find a doctor?"

Ahsoka nods and directs Clank's attention to send Doctor. The Doctor simply says, "He should be fine, these medical oils should make it so that he can be moved to the village."

Ahsoka asks, "These Root Worms how dangerous are they?"

The Lemur simply states, "They live under the large trees, though they only leave the ground during the wet season. That ended three weeks ago."

Ahsoka nods in understanding before stepping out the tent before looking to R2 and asking, "Have you sent out a distress signal?" R2 beeped in reply when Ahsoka nods and says, "Great, we are going to need something with longer range," she looks into the distance at the ship they crashed on.

Before she could make the first step, Clank states, "The Crash site is too dangerous for organics to enter, the coolant systems burst and have leaked throughout the vessel," Ahsoka appeared disappointed until she was devastated when Clank finished with, "But the actual communication systems were destroyed when we entered the planet's atmosphere. We won't be able to contact the Republic."

Ahsoka breathed deeply trying to calm down while to the side some of the stones around the fire pit shook with the force. Ahsoka then took a seat and started meditating through the rest of the day and then through the whole night when the Lemur walked up to Ahsoka and tapped her arm before saying, "He will be fine, we can move him to the village on a stretcher," he indicated to the Rex and one of the other clones was actually constructing said stretcher.

Ahsoka nods and goes to stand when she realised her legs had fallen asleep. She checks her time keeper and shakes her head at the amount of time that she had meditated. Ahsoka rubbed her thighs lightly and got feeling back into her legs. Ahsoka then says, "Let's get back to the village," with that they walked carefully to the village where they walked slowly and reached the village by dawn the next day. The doctor led the clones to his home on the edge of the village a short walk away from everyone else's seed huts.

Ahsoka asks, "Why is your home so far from the village?"

"In the event of an illness we were not expecting, in the event that it is contagious," the young Doctor states as they enter the 'home' only to see that it was just a simple mats to act as a bed. The young Doctor then continues, "He can rest here, the long reeds will also conceal this place from sight of the village. Come on, I will take you back to the Elder so you can get your friend back." Ahsoka went with R2 and Clank to the elder while the clones stay with Skywalker.

Ahsoka walked with the young doctor towards the central hut to see several of the villagers waiting around the building expecting a betrayal. Ahsoka and the young Doctor step into the hut to see Aayla meditating and the Elder making himself some tea.

Ahsoka bowed lightly to the village Elder and says, "Thank you, I don't know what could have happened if you did not allow for help."

The Elder simply says, "We came to this planet in order get away from your war. That fact it is here now," he left what he thought unsaid as Ahsoka nods in understanding. The Elder then continues, "I suggest that you hurry up and leave, just don't come back."

Ahsoka nods before saying, "It may take time, our transmitter was destroyed when we crashed onto your planet."

The Elder sighs before saying, "You can send out a message with the next transport to deliver supplies, in two weeks. As soon as your master is healed though you will all need to leave the village, have the message ready before then."

With that Ahsoka and Aayla were sent away with R2 and Clank followed after them. The four returned to the medical hut and calmly waited for Skywalker to reawaken.

WolfBlade-First system-Ten minutes after departure.

The WolfBlade exited out of Hyperspace into the first system. Kenobi looks outside the view ports and find themselves in the middle of a meteor belt. Kenobi then simply asks, "How did exit hyperspace here without crashing?"

"It wasn't always point and shoot with Hyperspce," Junk Wolf counters before saying, "It is like entering a door and out the other side. It is the between those two parts that really means anything." With that Junk Wolf controls the WolfBlade with the sensors on high though the whole system and after a while Kenobi appears restless. Junk Wolf sighs loudly and says, "Look I get you are bored, but after this system the search times will be reduced."

Kenobi was about to speak until he sees an ancient wrecked transport vessel from the old republic era. Kenobi simply asks, "Where are we?"

"This is the place where Revan fought the Sith for control of the Star Forge, Also known as the centre of the Kestel Run," Junk Wolf answers much to the shock of Kenobi. Junk Wolf then continues to say, "I think they missed this system."

"What makes you say that?" Kenobi questions as he looks at the destroyed vessels around them.

"Maybe the Seperatist Droid Factory that is currently eating the system," he opened a screen that was in front of Kenobi and says, "Looks like an Automated one, not Star forge level though, that thing needed stars. I suggest you take a note on that. While I set up the hyperdrive for the next system."

Kenobi frowns before saying, "You just want to leave this factory as is, when we could stop it?"

"Yes," Junk Wolf states before saying, "The Wolfblade may be able to disable it, but that would be it, you would need some heavy cruisers to destroy that thing. Unfortunately there is only one path for said vessels and that is from deep in Seperatist defended territory. So we leave it for another day before they find," with that he engaged the WolfBlade's Hyperdrive and vanished into a meteor.

With Ahsoka-That moment

Ahsoka was resting against the seed hut when she hears something she was not expecting and says, "Masters," with that both the injured Skywalker and Master Secura stepped out the seed hut to see a Seperatist drop ship landing to deploy troops land not far from the village.

Skywalker says, "We need to leave. Don't leave any gear behind. If they find nothing they will leave the village alone."

Ahsoka nods and they grab everything they brought along with the food they had been given. No reason to have the droids accidently notice that there was meant to be a sick person there. With that they escaped away from the village, until they find a rock high enough to let them see the village. Ahsoka climbs on top with the visual scanner and looks at the Seperatist commander and says, "Well it is a fat member of the Trade Federation, with a couple dozen droids ransacking the village and," she paused at the sight of a sleek red lion looking droid that suddenly turned towards her causing her to duck quickly and say in a whisper, "A new type of droid."

Skywalker asks, "What does it look like?"

Ahsoka frowns and says, "You know the Battledroids?" Skywalker nods before Ahsoka says, "Make it look like an animal and then put the same amount of credits into it's development that you would need to spend to get a fleet of droids and equipment."

That actually got Skywalker to take the visual scanner and looking at the robot carefully where he notices the red robot staring at them but not doing anything. Skywalker slides down and says, "It saw us, let's move." They quickly run through the reeds getting some distance before Skywalker had to stop to breath as his injuries acted up. They were silent before they notice what Skywalker states, "They are not following us."

Ahsoka sighs and says, "Maybe the droid didn't see us."

Skywalker shakes his head and says, "Maybe, but we cannot risk them finding us," with that they continue running until they find a large tree and Skywalker states, "Start climbing," with that Clank jumped onto his back and extended the Helicopter systems before suddenly shooting up quickly. Ahsoka shakes her head before the Clones used their grappling hooks to climb as Ahsoka and Master Secura started to climb the tree and reached the lowest branch. Skywalker was looking through the Visual scanner looking into the distance to see, the start of a Seperatist base with a space transport in the distance. R2 landed next to Skywalker after flying up with his thrusters.

Ahsoka asks, "Okay we got away from the village," she turned to it to see it intact and the Droids leaving in their tanks heading towards this new base. Ahsoka calmly exhaled before saying, "At least they left the village alone. But why are they here? Is there a secret Republic base none of us know about?"

Master Secura hums before saying, "No, they would have come to us when the ship crashed. I doubt that they would have remained hidden to the Villagers."

Skywalker frowns before saying, "We will wait here until dark, then a couple of us will scout their defences then steal that ship," he returns to using the Visual Scanner.

Ahsoka hums before saying, "Yeah that makes some sense, but what about that new droid? We have no idea what it can do for all we know it could be waiting for us to make the first move," Ahsoka then started rubbing her right shoulder deep in thought, right where Junk Wolf had bit her.

Skywalker looks at her strangely before asking, "What do you suggest?"

"We wait until just before dawn," Ahsoka suggested before saying, "Get an idea of how they are guarding the base first. We don't have enough men to scout properly."

Skywalker smirks already making a plan to prove her wrong when Master Secura states, "I agree with Ahsoka, plus with your injuries you may slow us down."

Skywalker sighs before looking through the Visual Scanners and see that a set of Probe Droids had been released from the base shortly after the commander of the base had returned only to open a crate and a group of mechanics started to assemble what appeared to be a hover tank without the cannon. Instead a yellow frame work was modified to shoot an artillery shell. Once night fell two droids had gone a hundred and fifty metres away from the Artillery tank that launched the shell through the air and landed just past the droids and completely disintegrated all organic matter in a hundred metre radius. Skywalker realises what is going on and says, "This is not an invasion, it is a weapons test."

Ahsoka was shocked before saying, "Then we need to warn the village."

Strangely enough the answer came from the Young Doctor who actually had followed their tracks from the village and climbed up the tree, and saw the damage as he reached the branch. "I will warn the Village, you lot get that transport and get back to your Republic friends!" He climbed back down before Skywalker could stop them.

Skywalker shakes his head and returns to looking at the Commander of the Droids and says, "Well Ahsoka was right, he is fat," he looks at the Dramatic movements he made with his arms to a hologram and says, "And a showman," Skywalker smirks at that.

Ahsoka frowns before asking, "Which means?"

Skywalker lowers the Visual Scanner and says, "It means that he will wait until tomorrow to use his weapon on the populated village where they can be seen. Meaning we can break into the Base tonight and steal that ship. If I know my egotistic weapon builders there will be shield generators," he left everything else unsaid.

Ahsoka asks, "And if they don't?"

"Then it is a good thing we are also planning to disable the weapon while we are inside," Skywalker added like it was always part of the plan when in truth he did not think of that.

Ahsoka shakes her head and says, "Well then we will need to be careful with that unknown droid," as she absently rubbed her right shoulder again. This was noticed by Aayla Secura, who kept silent from this.

Skywalker then states, "Then we will keep an eye on the base for a couple more hours and one of us focus on the Droid," Rex nodded accepting this job of scanning said droid. Where they see said droid appear to transform into an animal and curl up on the modified tank the entire time they watched the base.

The WolfBlade-Second System-Where they could have collided with a transports

The WolfBlade exited Hyperspace and instead of activating scanners he starts searching the Local Holonet. R4G3R filtered through everything and beeped away, "Okay looks like they are not here."

"How can you tell?" Kenobi questions after they had been here for less then five minutes.

"No crazy accidents or screaming of deaths," Junk Wolf states before prepping the Hyper drive, "If they had gone through this system most of the transports would have been ripped apart violently." Kenobi nods before they vanish into Hyper space.

With Ahsoka-Seperatist Base Night

The three Jedi and four Clones slowly entered the base, with Skywalker and Secura lifting the Clones into the base and Ahsoka jumping onto the wall and silently disposed of the Droids. Master Secura jumped through the air and into the wall before lifting Skywalker up to her. Skywalker simply says, "I could have gotten up myself."

Master Secura shakes her head and says, "Not without taking a chance your injuries getting worst." Skywalker rolled his eyes as they snuck further into the base.

They found the shield generators near the ship and started hovering them into the shuttle. Skywalker kept an eye on the red droid sleeping on the tank. Skywalker readied his lightsabre and took one step towards the modified tank only for the droid to turn it's head to Skywalker and snarled with animalistic growls. Skywalker stepped back and the droid returned to it's sleeping form. After repeating this action a couple times caused him to shake his head and retreat to the shuttle while whispering to Master Secura, "I don't think Droid is working right. It definitely knows we are here but it is not attacking."

Ahsoka looks at the droid before whispering back, "Maybe it is just quirky? Let's go before it decides we are worth mauling," she waves them in quickly.

With that they enter the ship and manages to fly away from the base as the commander rushes out without any pants shouting, "Stop them!" the red Droid does nothing before the Commander shouts, "Quixtreme, more like lazy slob streme!" and kicks the tank result in Quixtreme growling heavily at the Commander who ran back inside his quarters leaving Quixtreme returned to sleep on the tank.

With the WolfBlade

The Wolfblade exited Hyper Space while facing the sun, Kenobi asks, "Did they collide with the star?" there was worry in his voice as Junk Wolf was silently activating the ships sensors, and slowly drifting around the star of the system. In the distance was a green planet that the WolfBlade was drifting towards with Junk Wolf's hidden eyes were closed.

The sensors beeped and Junk Wolf opened his eyes while saying, "Well it appears that Ahsoka saved the day. Clank is on the planet."

Kenobi frowns before asking, "So your hunch was right."

"Yeah, Skywalker was related Ben. He is a danger magnet," Junk Wolf states as Kenobi frowns.

Obi-wan Kenobi asks, "Why are you calling me Ben?"

"I don't feel the need to remember your name," Junk Wolf stated without any emotion before he says, "It is better that way."

Kenobi frowns before saying, "Ah, well I guess that makes sense. You have us call you Junk Wolf, when the Council already know that your name is Takumi," Junk Wolf tensed as Kenobi then asks, "Why is that?"

Junk Wolf shrugs before saying, "Maybe my parents wanted to be funny and called me Junk. And I went with it."

Kenobi sighs in annoyance before he asks, "Please tell me you brought that Doctor in a pocket with you. Anakin will need him," Junk Wolf just shrugged as they flew into orbit of the planet, as the sun started to edge over the horizon.

With Ahsoka-Just before dawn.

In their stolen transport they flew to the village and land it near the Elder's camp. Skywalker was the first to step out the transport, "Troopers get the shield generators online and in position."

The Village elder steps out his hut before saying, "We didn't ask for your help for your preconceived notions of war. Leave!"

Skywalker simply says, "Look we did not bring them here," looking the Elder straight in the eyes before continuing. "Your Doctor saw the destruction himself. It burns the land killing anything organic while leaving their droids intact. This weapon cannot be allowed to leave this planet and it's current target is your people not mine. As it is our war, let us fight it so you don't have too." The Elder just frowns and walks away silently.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she says, "That could have gone smoother. You need to work on your people skills."

Skywalker frowns before saying, "And you need to ignore everything Junk Wolf says," Skywalker groans lightly before heading towards the large seed shells and with Master Secura and Ahsoka lifted the large tree seeds to create a barrier along the path leading to the village.

Once they were completed Ahsoka jumped on top and looked through the Visual Scanner and says, "I don't see them yet," she looks over her shoulder and asks, "Is there anymore of those seeds we place further away?"

Master Secura simply says, "No, these are all the shells that they could spare."

Ahsoka frowns at this before raising her hand in the direction they would be coming from and with her eyes closed she summoned the force and started shifting the ground along the path and made pitfalls and piles of compacted dirt that would make driving a hover tank difficult. Rex comments, "Yeah that should make it harder for them to get in range for a couple minutes. Unless they are okay with scuffing their fancy weapon. They could use the thing to knock them down."

Skywalker smirks at that and says, "Not if the commander wants the weapon to Malfunction on him. Smart play Snips."

Ahsoka frowns before asking, "Maybe we should use some of the Seeds, you know as makeshift artillery, aim at the tank to slow it down more."

Master Secura shakes her head in the negative and says, "No, we need them to defend against the Droids that will attack to disable the shields."

"I understand that, but if we have a single gap for them to pass through it will limit their movements," Ahsoka began to argue.

Master Secura states, "You have been studying the arts of war I see."

Skywalker appeared smug until Ahsoka states, "I was curious in alternate tactics, the Force just so happens to bring out many alternate methods."

Skywalker states, "Who gave you that idea?"

Ahsoka was about to answer when she paused, who did give her the idea. She was stuck thinking on that until eventually they hear the sounds of a hover tank floating towards the village. Ahsoka breaks herself from her thoughts as she looks over the seeds to see the Battle Droids moving ahead from the prototype tank to remove the dirt obstacles from the path. Ahsoka comments, "Well I guess he is vain." With that Skywalker smirks as the Battle Droids manage to clear the path and get within range, "They are about to fire!"

Skywalker orders "Activate the shields," with that the clone troopers activate the shield as soon as the prototype activated. The shield protected the village but burnt the majority of the long grass along the edge of said shield.

Ahsoka says, "Well the shield worked. Meaning," she starts while Skywalker interrupts, "They will send the droids."

Ahsoka appeared annoyed but focused on the droids as Master Secura asks, "What about that Red Droid?"

Ahsoka checks the Visual Scanner and looks at Quixtreme and says, "It's just standing next to the weapon!"

Skywalker sighs and says, "Then that droid was programmed to defend the weapon, that is why it did not stop us when we escaped the village or stole their tech."

Ahsoka frowns before saying, "Well someone has to disable the weapon meaning they are going to have to fight the thing."

Skywalker simply says, "Well all of you protect the village, I will handle the weapon!" he then jumps over the seed barricade and charged through the Battle Droids that only fired on him while he was in front. Skywalker actually reached the weapon only to suddenly have to block a pair of orange beam claws that threatened to slice the injured Jedi. He was Forced back away from the prototype tank until he was ten metres away and watched Quixtreme step back in a defensive position and form. Skywalker took a deep breath and used the force to fortify his body before he reengaged Quixtreme only having the same amount of luck as before only every time he was beyond the limit of Quixtreme's range. Skywalker frowns at the speed of this droid. It was even starting to outpace him as he enforced his speed with the Force. Skywalker attacked again repeating his methods only finding the droid getting faster and finding it harder to defend against.

Back at the village Ahsoka and Master Sacura were taking the brunt of the Droid attack while the Clones protected the generators. Unfortunately it was all for naught as a couple probe droids had flown in low from behind, having used the tall grass and the small spaces to reach two of the shield generators and disabled them as the Clones shouted to the generals.

Skywalker continued to struggle with Quixtreme, when the Commander shouts, "FIRE!" and launched another shell. Skywaler could not stop the second shell and could not stop it.

The Shell flew and no one could stop it, Ahsoka tried to focus using the force to deflect it but was too distracted by battle droids. She eventually closed her eyes when it was too late to stop it only to hear, -HOWL-, that forced her eyes to open wide as suddenly the WolfBlade out sped the launched shell and actually caught it in a green beam before throwing the weapon away from the village as it took to the air. Leaving a large crop circle about three hundred metres away from the village.

That was when Ahsoka's communicator beeped and she hears Junk Wolf say, "We really got to stop meeting like this. I mean what are people going to think?"

Ahsoka cut down a couple more droids before replying, "What took you so long!?"

"I picked up this strange bearded hitch hiker," Junk Wolf says as the WolfBlade flew back towards the village opposite the Seperatist weapon, "Dropping him off now," the WolfBlade flew upside down while dropping Junk Wolf and Kenobi dropped out. Kenobi screaming while Junk Wolf simply flipped in the air before firing a cable to the ground and landed in a roll heading toward Quixtreme and tackled the red robot quickly while shouting, "Get the weapon!"

Skywalker shakes his head while Kenobi lands and slashes through a couple of the droids as he rushes towards Skywalker and helped him attack the Weapon Prototype along with catching the Seperatist Commander.

Junk Wolf was thrown into the long grass before firing a couple laser blasts through the grass and jumped into the air and tackling Quixtreme knocking said robot and proceeded roll along the ground and proceeded to get kicked off of Quixtreme as it transformed into it's animal form and growled at Junk Wolf. Junk Wolf groans as they walk in circles. Junk Wolf simply says, "I see you were let out the box, don't see why such a 'pet cat' would be useful to anyone."

Quixtreme growls loudly before pouncing at Junk Wolf only for Accel to come flying in and flew into the air before performing a suplex on Quixtreme into the ground violently destroying and dismantling said robot. Accel steps over holding Quixtreme's head that Junk Wolf accepts as they walk towards the village Where he find's Ahsoka, Master Secura and four clones. Ahsoka asks, "How did you find us?"

Junk Wolf did not answer before walking up to the Village Elder and says, "Sorry, when I gave you the cooridinates to this planet I did not think they Seperatists would have found it."

The Elder sighs before glaring at Junk Wolf and says, "It has happened, but in the future we do not want to see any more Republican or Seperatist forces interfering with our people!"

Junk Wolf nods before saying, "I will talk with the Jedi and a couple Senators explain the situation and I can contact the Coalition of Neutral Systems and have them contact you."

"More soldiers?" The Elder states.

Junk Wolf shakes his head and says, "They are a group against the war to begin with. Of everything you need they will support you, without having the Republic or Seperatist attacking your world without consequences."

The Elder sighs and walks away past a group of droids that Ahsoka had removed the heads of after the locals managed to knock them down. Junk Wolf walks over to the WolfBlade that had landed near the village with Ahsoka and Clank on her back running after him, Accel saying hello to the locals. Ahsoka reached up to the WolfBlade in time to see Junk Wolf attaching Quixtreme's head to the system and brings up the memories of the Droid, and goes through them quickly. Ahsoka asks, "How did you find us?"

Junk Wolf frowns under his helmet and says, "Simple, cross referenced the direction you went with possible obstacles and then checked the more dangerous ones first. Found a space faring droid factory and that you didn't end up causing a mass panic. Either way good job avoiding that sun." Ahsoka frowns with a slight blush as Junk Wolf continues, "Skywalker still getting you in trouble?"

Ahsoka chuckles before saying, "Not sure. What are you doing?"

"Checking Quixtreme's memory banks, find out why it is here," Junk Wolf sees the only memories it has. Being introduced to Dooku with Damn, Scar was reactivated. Let's see Dooku then took Scar away and powered down until the fat commander came to discuss the 'Defoliator' to gain favour with the Seperatists. Then Quixtreme was ordered to guard the weapon. Ah that was not the best idea."

"Wait, it takes it's orders literally?" Ahsoka questioned.

"It learns and fights nonstop, eventually it will outpace it's opponent, which is why Accel managed to actually disable him. The issue with this model is that once it's owner is decided, only way to change the owner is to power it down completely or replace the memory banks," Junk Wolf looks at the remains of Quiztreme's head and says, "That bastard is selling whatever weapons he can get his hands on. Bastard." And crushes the head and asks R4G3R how long till the Republic get here?" he received a series of beeps before he says, "three hours great," with that he pulled out a couple beach chairs from the WolfBlade and set them up along with a container and a couple cups along with a stool between the two chairs. "Care for a drink?" and takes a seat to wait.

Ahsoka shakes her head in annoyance before taking the other seat and joining him in waiting for the Republic. They relaxed enough to get a chuckle from Kenobi and Master Secura but Skywalker just found it annoying. Skywalker though was stopped from interrupting the two as Kenobi stepped over and activated the Doctor and after the 'Please state the Medical Emergency,' went to help Skywalker in the villages medical seed hut. Eventually the Republic arrived and sent down transports along with the Senator of Pantora. A blue skinned teenage girl.

Kenobi stepped forward to the transport and asks, "Ah Senator Chuchi, why are you here?"

"Unfortunately Master Jedi, the Pantoran Government has requested aid in that the Clone Base built on it's moon," Senator Chuchi states before saying, "I understand that this is a bad time."

Kenobi shakes his head as he notices the Clones are part of Skywalker's men and says, "I take it that you are going with to speak for Pantora?"

"I am to meet with the Chairman and with him to travel with Republic Troops to visit the Republic Base. Though I understand that Master Skywalker was injured during his last battle," Chuchi states.

The Doctor along with the Village Doctor comes forward and says, "Skywalker will be fine, but no battles for a couple days and definitely limited use of the Force to keep him moving."

Skywalker came back and sees the young Senator and says, "Senator Chuchi, to what do we owe the pleasure."

"We have been asked to visit Pantora's moon," Kenobi states before continuing, "Looks like we will be gone another couple days. Junk Wolf we are going to Pantora onAnakin's ship." Junk Wolf sighs and starts packing up with Ahsoka.

Ahoska sees Skywalker waving her over, only for Ahsoka to shout back, "I will ride with Junky, see you on the ship," with that she boarded the WolfBlade which sped away from the surface and landed on the ship by the time the Republic Dropship even took off, mainly due to Kenobi was apologizing to the Village for his former Padawaan and then returning to the ship to find Junk Wolf reading a data pad on his beach chair, appearing bored.

Skywalker grips his right hand in anger but walks away knowing that he owes Junk Wolf for what happened planet side, but that does not mean anything about liking it.

Chorus-Throne Room-A day later

The King of Chorus sat on his throne as several crates were moved into the throne room from storage. Inside these crates were weapons that he had access too, weapons that could be sold but not mass produced. Everything from droids to fire arms. He watched as some of the crates were opened revealing custom droids, all humanoid and heavily weaponised. The king looked over the different items and says, "Activate them and send some to Dooku, except those that will help me with our plans." With that several guards started activating the droids of various designs.

Lady Chorus stepped into the chamber and asks, "Is there a reason for desecrating so many artefacts?"

The king became angry and shouts, "They are the tools for my destiny," he generates a flaming blue ball in his hand and says, "Perhaps you would like to discuss why that is such a bad thing?"

The Lady of Chorus looked at him simply and says, "Such a waste," and left the King to his machinations.

Orbit of Pantora's Moon-Two days later

On the Republic Cruiser the 'Resolute' Skywalker, Kenobi, Ahsoka and Junk Wolf were boarding a transport that would take them down to the surface, along with Senator Chuchi, the Chairman of Pantora and his guards. Leaving enough room for Rex, two other clones, R2 and a gold droid that belonged to Skywalker, a C3PO. Which surprised Senator Chuchi due to her not knowing it belonged to him as Senator Amadala had loaned it to her for the mission.

Junk Wolf had his arms crossed as the ship took off, the Chairman had decided to come down on the first wave because of the 'Security of Pantora,' and had been spouting nonsense about how Pantora was so important to the Republic, when it was about twenty systems away from the front lines and the fact that there was a small Seperatist Listening outpost located on the moon, that the Republic had actually been using to broadcast fake intelligence to the Seperatists.

Junk Wolf was also annoyed that he couldn't fly the WolfBlade to the surface and had to leave behind R4G3R and Accel when they went down to the planet. Junk Wolf sighed audibly as the Chairman started spouting off more on security as they landed on the frozen moon during the beginning of a snow storm. Kenobi was the first to comment, "And this is the planet's tropical zone."

Skywalker decided to mention his home planet by saying, "Well it is no Tattoween."

"You sure, it is just ice instead of sand," Junk Wolf jokes before turning to Ahsoka who was wearing enough fur covered winter gear to cover a Hutt. Junk Wolf asks, "First time on an ice planet?"

A shaking Ahsoka simply replies, "I am a Togruta, arid climates is my environment. How about you?"

"Planet with Junk covering ninety percent of its' surface," Junk Wolf states as he suddenly hears behind the white noise of the snow a distinct animal like sound before he says, "Well this should be a short mission," Junk Wolf states and before Ahsoka could question him the Chairman spoke up.

"I want this base brought back into full operation!" the Chairman shouts to the two senior Jedi.

Kenobi speaks up, "Chairman, please wait here while I check the base. Skywalker please stay with the Chairman and Senator."

Skywalker replies with, "We can leave that to Ahsoka and Junk Wolf," and quickly leaves with the Clones and Kenobi leaving Ahsoka and Junk Wolf with said Chairman.

Junk Wolf glares at Skywalker as they walk inside the base. The Chairman shouts, "I want to know everything that the Seperatist have done and them removed from the system immediately."

Senator Chuchi simply asks, "How do we know that this was a Seperatist attack?"

The Chairman points a finger at Chuchi and says, "Pantora is the only planet in this sector with any living life form this moon is Pantoran Terroritory and I refuse to leave it to terrorists!"

The Chairman walks away with his four personal guards that appeared to agree with everything that he said. Junk Wolf glared at the Chairman before speaking to Chuchi, "Well he is very single minded. I take it he is the reason that there is even a base here. This moon is too uninhabitable for droids to stay for longer than a couple months without resupply."

Chuchi frowns before asking, "You feel that this is a waste of resources?"

"Considering that this conflict is a huge waste of time, yes," Junk Wolf states before Rex returned and gestured for everyone to move themselves and their equipment inside. Junk Wolf, Ahsoka and Chuchi followed the Chairman into the base to find that snow had gotten in but there was no damage done to any of the base's equipment. There was also a complete lack of energy scoring along the walls of the base and none of the dead clones were killed with energy weapons. Though all the clones no longer had helmet on as they were placed onto of spears carved from stone and bone. Junk Wolf removed one of these spears and looked at the craftsmanship and says, "Wow, primitive weapons with markings and decorations. This clearly means that the base was attack by nothing!" before he replaced the spear in the ground and returned the helmet.

The Chairman after hearing this simply says, "A Seperatist trick clearly," and walks up to Master Kenobi and Skywalker walked over. The Chairman says, "Have you proven that the Seperatist attacked."

Kenobi simply says, "Unfortunately this does not appear to have been an attack."

Rex stepped forward after speaking on his communicator and says, "The pilots carrying the second unit spotted the Droid Base on the other side of the Valley. They also noticed that the base is cold."

"There is your proof," the Chairman states causing Junk Wolf to sigh loudly.

Skywalker takes this moment to comment, "Well while Master Kenobi and I check the Seperatist base. We will leave you with our capable students," with that he quickly pulls Kenobi back with some clones as a snow ball went flying towards where Skywalker had been standing and burst on a wall behind him.

Junk Wolf, Ahsoka and Chuchi walks to the elevator that would lead to the main command room of the base. Junk Wolf used his robotic arm to power it and sent them up to the top of the base hidden in the mountain. They walked into the room and found that the room only had a couple Clones using Visual Scanners to guard the base. Chuchi asks Junk Wolf, "Jedi what attacked this base?"

"The locals," Junk Wolf stats but could not continue as the Chairman arrived saying, "There is no life one Orto Plutonia, if there was our explorers would have discovered them!"

Junk Wolf sighs and says, "How long ago was that? Five, ten thousand years ago?" Chuchi frowns at that.

The Chairman simply states, "Exactly, they discovered no life on this planet and Pantora is the only planet in this system with civilisation. It is under Pantoran ownership!" The Chairman completely ignored Junk Wolf's shout of 'Moon' during that whole speech.

Chuchi simply asks, "And yet a more recent survey has never occured?" The Chairman glared at the Senator as Senator Chuchi says, "There is not sign of Droid attack, no scorch marks from weapons fire, no droid remains and none of the Troops were killed using energy weapons."

"An expert on war now, Senator?" The Chairman started to counter before he says, "WE are at war Senator and they will only understand Force. Do not let this Seperatist sympathiser," Junk Wolf rolled his eyes and crosses his arm as the Chairman continues, "Cloud the truth from you," the Chairman then pointed back to the door sending her away. Junk Wolf, Ahsoka and Senator Chuchi start to walk away when the Chairman says, "Where are you two going?"

Junk Wolf answered, "We are going with the Senator because we find your presence insulting!" they then walk to the Elevator as the Chairman orders his men to arrest Junk Wolf only for the Elevator doors to shut and power down until Master Kenobi and Skywalker returned. Junk Wolf asks, "What did you find at the Seperatist Base?"

"Something big, organic and faster than anything I have seen before," Skywalker states.

Master Kenobi then says, "The storm is growing, Anakin and I will be taking a couple speeders out to see if we can find what attacked the two bases."

Junk Wolf nods before Ahsoka speaks up, "Perhaps you should take C3PO," Junk Wolf nods in agreement.

Skywalker though says, "We shouldn't need him, we are just going for a look."

Junk Wolf then asks, "Mind if I go with you, the Chairman," he was about to comment the Chairman's annoying self ritchesness when said Chairman barged into the conversation.

The Chairman says, "I want this man arrested."

The Chairman did not say anymore as he stepped away expecting it to be done. Junk Wolf says, "I am really tempted to change the locks."

Kenobi simply says, "You will have to deal with it a little longer. We should be back by dawn." With that Kenobi and Skywalker took a pair of speeder bikes and travelled away from the base.

Junk Wolf sighs and walks over to a set of crates and started reading a terminal leaving Ahsoka and Senator Chuchi to strike up a friendship that would last through the Clone wars. Until the Chairman went to speak with Rex and requested that Junk Wolf be placed in irons, only for Rex to asks, "Sir I would need a reason to arrest my superior." The Chairman just repeated his statement before walking away. Rex shakes his head in confusion before returning to ordering his men to finish fixing the speeder bikes.

The next Day-Orto Plutonia-Republic Base the next morning

Master Kenobi and Knight Skywalker returned to base just after dawn when they spoke to the Chairman stating that they met a tribe calling themselves the 'Talz' and why they attacked. It appears that the Droids attacked them unprovoked and chose to attack the Republic base. The Chairman took the news with a grain of salt and simply states, "Then they are the enemy of Pantora. They attacked our base unprovoked and these invaders need to be destroyed."

Junk Wolf sighed loudly enough to gain attention as Master Kenobi goes on to say, "Actually they appear to have been here a long time. They do not have the technology to have travelled to this planet," Kenobi statement had Junk Wolf muttering, "Without help," that no one pays attention too except Ahsoka and Senator Chuchi. Kenobi then continues, "The Talz have agreed to speak with you at the Seperatist base at midday. I suggest that we move now, before we miss the meeting."

With that Rex stepped over and says, "In this weather, the drop-shops won't fly."

Skywalker says, "That is fine, we will need to take speeders so we don't spook them into attacking," with that the Clones continue preparing the equipment before Skywalker walked over to the Chairman and says, "I am afraid that some of your guards will have to stay behind or double up."

With that everyone was getting ready to leave when Junk Wolf stepped up to Ahsoka and in embarrassment asks, "May I ride with you, I don't know how to drive a speeder," he rubs his helmeted head.

Ahsoka looks at him for a moment before suddenly asking, "Then how have you been keeping up with speeders?"

"Accel is faster," Junk Wolf admits simply shocking Ahsoka.

Ahsoka then sighs and says, "Sure hop on," With that Junk Wolf got on behind Ahsoka, behind the seat before Skywalker ordered everyone off. Chuchi can be seen sitting with Rex as the Speeders speed away from the Republic base with half the clone forces and all of the Chairman's Guards riding individually on speeders. R2 can be seen attached to Kenobi's speeder while C3PO is riding with Skywalker. Ahsoka then speeds forward while saying over her shoulder, "You hanging on?"

"I am fine," Junk Wolf answers before looking into the distance and notices some flashing light in the distance realising they had been spotted. Junk Wolf then says to Ahsoka, "We have been spotted. This should be short." They reached the Seperatist Base where they hear the Chairman order the clones around until Kenobi stated that they were already here. Chuchi then asked the Chairman if he wanted her to speak for Pantora only to get shouted down by the Chairman. Once he walk inside Junk Wolf walked over to Rex and whispers, "I suggest that you get ready. The Chairman about to start a war so you may want to prepare to return to the ship." He left Rex confused as Junk Wolf and Ahsoka walked into the disabled base to see the Chairman shouting at the leader of the Talz with C3PO translating. Once he was done the C3PO says, "Then war it is," in defeat. Junk Wolf sighs and steps forward with a wave while saying, "Hello, I would like to say something," in the same Language as the Talz shocking everyone in the room, "What the Blue idiot is saying is that, he is the only one who wants a war and that if he goes through with it all those in white armour would leave you to your internal war. Which is something that only he wants without consulting his clan elders to even be allowed to fight your noble people."

The Chairman behind him shouts, "Droid translate what this traitor is saying!" C3PO starts translating in the background, while the Talz speaks to Junk Wolf.

Junk Wolf replies with "the Blue idiot fails to understand that in our culture what he wants is not for the best and would only have him declared a criminal." It was at that point that C3PO translated 'Blue Idiot' where he pulled out his gun and pointed it at the back of Junk Wolf head and pulled the trigger. Junk Wolf was motionless as the smoke cleared from the back of his head. Junk Wolf then says none fussed from the attack, "Plus attempted murder is not welcome in either of our cultures. Please understand that we wish you no harm. Now excuse me while I beat up the Blue Idiot." He turns around and faces the Chairman and says, "Well the Talz understands the situation. Do you?" The Chairman's guards raised their weapons at Junk Wolf while the Talz pointed their spears at the Pantorans but ignored the Clones. The Chairman sneers as the Talz leave quickly.

The Chairman says, "I expect him in chains by the time I return to the Base," and walks out and orders the Clones to follow him.

Rex waited for the Jedi to return to ask, "What do I do sir?"

Skywalker frowns in thought until Junk Wolf says, "The Chairman stated this is an Internal Pantoran Matter. Meaning he can't order any of the clones to come with us." The Chairman shouts to Rex to hurry up. Rex did not turn around leaving the Chairman to leave with his guards. Junk Wolf then says, "Well that is a dead man. So while Senator Chuchi contacts her government stating that the Chairman just started a war, where by Pantoran Law makes him an unfit leader of his people. Which will result in Chuchi being able to gain Peace with the decendants of the Former Slaves their culture bought for mining purposes four thousand years ago."

It was at this point that Ahsoka states what everyone was thinking, "You knew the Talz were here this whole time. Any reason you failed to mention this?"

"I was under the impression that the Pantoran Government already knew and had decided to keep it a secret. You know because of the time the slaves were bought, it was illegal to buy this type of slave. They were from a world that more recently only started travelling the stars in the last thousand years."

Skywalker frowns before asking, "How do you know any of the things you know?"

"My clan was the ones to shoot said ship down on the planet. Besides this planet is actually more valuable then what the Pantoran's actually know," Junk Wolf states before looking to Chuchi and says, "Shouldn't you be making a call?" Chuchi nods and quickly moves to the side as the storm clears up.

Kenobi then says, "The Senate is not going to be happy with this."

"What they will learn is that the Former Chairman called for war without either the Pantoran Government permission or the Senate's permission. Also by Republic Law, the members of the Great Army of the Republic have no reason to be here at all." Junk Wolf crosses his arms.

Ahsoka frowns and asks, "Is any of this legal?"

Kenobi frowns in thought before sighing and says, "Even if it is not, we won't be in any trouble. Junk Wolf has clearly gone over this while we had abandoned him the night before," that comment was met with two stares before he says, "Or he found a way to blame someone else on the matter."

If they could see it, they would see Junk Wolf grinning at the pair as he had actually not thought of that. Chuchi returned after contacting her government she returned and says, "Well it has been declared that the Chairman was out of order and I have been given authority to speak with the Talz. It is just as Junk Wolf stated, the Former Chairman broke the law and now is currently being replaced on Pantora. Once we return to Pantora with him he will be charged with treason."

Junk Wolf frowns before saying, "Which he may not see the inside of a cell," which was said as the Republic Drop ships arrived to carry them to the Chairman's current location.

They flew for five minutes before they found the Chairman, bound and with Talz spear's at his throat, his men dead. The ship was still in the air as Chuchi asks Master Kenobi, "Master Kenobi, would you be willing to speak on Pantora's behalf?"

Master Kenobi simply states, "I am afraid, I cannot. This is a Pantoran matter and the Talz would not accept this peace unless it was made with a Pantoran," they could not see it but Junk Wolf was bitting his lip to stop himself from bursting into laughter.

Chuchi nods as they landed near the Chairman who starts to shout, "You see these Savages cannot be trusted! As Chairman of Pantora I order you to kill them."

Junk Wolf shakes his head as Senator Chuchi steps in front of the Former Chairman as members of the Talz stepped to the side shocking the Jedi as Junk Wolf states, "This is going to be the easiest speech for peace she is ever going to make and the most important."

C3PO was gestured forward as Chuchi removes the Former Chairman's hat and says, "You are out of line and you have been removed from your position," she turned to C3PO and says, "Please translate everything I say to the Talz," C3PO starts translating as Chuchi stepped towards the Talz leader while taking the spear form one of the Talz guarding the Chairman and stabbed it into the ground before placing the Former Chairman's hat on the spear and says, "To fight for ones people is honourable, but living for ones People even more so. I choose to live for my people. What is your choice?" C3PO translates quickly.

The Talz raises a spear into the air before stabbing it into the ground with the first Spear. C3PO translates the Chieftain, "He chooses to live as well, and hopes that your two people may enjoy a long friendship while the 'Blue Idiot rots in a cage," Everyone blinks at that before the Talz leader speaks again leaving C3PO to translate, "It appears that they understand the situation and promises that any Seperatist Droids that travel to the planet they will stop, and even accept the need for a Republic Base to protect Pantora. He also asks if there is anything else you need to know or wish to inform them of."

Chuchi blinks for a second before saying, "Thank you, And I will inform my leaders of this news," The two bow to one another after C3PO translates what she said before the Talz left the Former Chairman to be arrested and the Talz quickly vanish into the snow leaving the Republic forces and Senator confused except for Junk Wolf. Senator Chuchi turned to Junk Wolf and says, "You knew this was going to happen!?"

"Yeah," Junk Wolf admits before saying, "It is amazing that wars can be avoided completely by both sides actually understanding what is going. One crazy Former Chairman wanting Misplaced Glory and one tribe of snow faring people who can actually live on a permanent basis," he waved his hands as if they were scales before saying, "Plus when you save time with knowing the language you can stop people from misinterpreting you. No offence to C3PO but sometimes emotion is best used to get a point across."

Skywalker just glared at him while Kenobi started chuckling loudly before asking, "I get the feeling you planned this."

"Just because I noticed the spears were made by a primitive people and the Chairman had been bugging me since he was on the Resolute spouting enough pro war bullshit that made it very difficult not to shoot him myself. Can definitely mean that I did," Junk Wolf admits in a very long and Humorous manner and absolutely no non sense of deceit. The Former Chairman roared and goes to charge Junk Wolf only to feel Junk Wolf heel on his face as he spun kicked the Former Chairman in the face knocking him out. Junk Wolf then says, "Well after that let's head back to the ship because I want to take a nap," he turns on his heel looks around for a second and sighs as he walks, with his head down, to the dropship that will take him back to the ship.

:End of Chapter Eleven:

Once again Junk Wolf keeps it simple and shows the stupidity of a single man making decisions for entire cultures having a bad affect on civilisation.
