The Forced Rider 555 Chapter 12

Back to a galaxy 'far' away and a long 'time' ago.

I bring another instalment of Kamen Riders in the Star Wars Universe. To answer a couple questions:

DebaterMax: One season of Kamen Rider or more specifically the equipment used in that season.

WolkaiserDrake: I can only tell you it is for a key point later in the story and no, only robots that I felt would work for this story.

Now onto the story, I own nothing!

:Chapter Start:

Coresaunt-A month since the Pantoran moon incident-Jedi Temple

Faiz was standing on the stairs of the main communication room, in the room was several different Jedi and Padawaans listening to several engagement plans when suddenly an explosion was heard and Faiz ran out the room with Kenobi down the hall and where one of the emergency generators was blown up and the two arrived in time to see a man in Mandalorian Armour who shouts in Mandalorian, "Death to the Mandalore!" before taking his own life. Faiz looked around and clearly none of the Jedi present knew old Mandalorian.

Kenobi frowns before saying, "That sounded like Mandalorian."

"The old kind, yeah," Faiz stated with his arms crossed and kneels next to the body and saw a symbol that made him freeze before walking away silently as his right arm held his robotic left silent for the rest of the day, never releasing his arm and appearing dead to the world. Until Kenobi got his attention by grabbing his shoulder only to get flipped in the Jedi Council chamber in front of everyone. Faiz blinked before he asks, "Um, did I miss something."

Kenobi as he was pinned to the ground says, "We are going to Mandalore for a mission." Faiz released Kenobi before the two went to hanger with Kenobi explaining what the mission was, "We are leaving to speak with Mandalore Dutchess Satine."

"So DeathWatch's target," Faiz states as they reach the Wolfblade.

Kenobi gets into the back seat while R4G3R linked up with the ships systems and Accel was installed under the seats of the vehicle. Kenobi then asks, "How long until we reach Mandalore?"

"Twenty minutes, the planet actually disrupts my Hyperspace engines so, we will have to travel to the edge of the system before flying in," Faiz states as the ship flies at high speed into orbit.

Kenobi then continues explaining the mission, "Well after we speak with Satine, we will be guarding her as we travel back to Coresaunt using the," Faiz groans loudly in annoyance at the idea of slow transportation. Kenobi then continues, "We need to protect her against any assassination attempts before she has the chance of speaking with the Senate."

Faiz sighs as he asks, "Is Ahsoka joining us for this mission?"

Kenobi simply says, "Yes, Anakin and Ahsoka will be meeting us after the Coreamac Senate transport."

"That is even worse," Faiz shouts before adding, "All you would need to do to smuggle dangerous cargo on that ship is the Senate Stamp of Approval. Hell, the only reason that Dooku had of yet tried it, was because he knew it would only work once."

Kenobi frowns at that before saying, "You have done your homework and are correct. Should I inform Anakin to make some changes for security?"

Faiz simply says, "Yeah, have him go through the cargo manifests and have them check all the cargo that has no names tied with the cargo." With that they entered Hyperspace for twenty minutes before reaching their destination.

Geonosis-That Moment-half way across the universe.

Scar held a pair of axes as some clones stiffly opened the main gates leading into the base, Scar walked into the base with two axes glowing red with power as suddenly he rushed forward and started killing all the clones on the base leaving the last alive long enough to contact the Republic so that they knew that Geonosis was now captured by Seperatist forces.

Mandalore-Ten minutes later

The Wolfblade flew into the atmosphere of the polluted skies of Mandalore, towards the Capital city where they landed on the royal docks where Faiz and Kenobi were met with the Mandalore's guards and arriving quickly at the Royal Palace with Faiz looking at the changes in appearance to what he knew from history texts. Kenobi was the first to comment, "I take it you have never seen this city before."

Faiz simply states, "I am the first of my Clan to come here in peace since my clan left in the first place. Not even my resources can be found in this system."

Kenobi nods as they entered the Royal Palace and were led into the Mandalore's chamber where they meet with the Mandalore's Chief of Staff and Kenobi spoke with him. Faiz tuned him out until suddenly he noticed Kenobi's heart rate just increased in speed as Mandalore Dutchess Satine entered the room with her Senator. Kenobi started 'flirting' with her only for Satine to speak, "I see you have been ordered by the Senate, to interfere with the politics of Mandalore."

"Actually, my investigation was ordered by the Jedi, as a terrorist wearing Mandalorian Armour attacked the Jedi Temple," Kenobi states after he showed the recording.

Satine was about to argue when Faiz spoke up, "He was a member of Death Watch, and his last words was a call for your death. Care to explain?"

Satine looks to Faiz, actually taking noticed and asks, "And you are?"

"Just a guy working under a corrupt system because of an even bigger ass decided my head was worth more than this conflict costs over ten years," Faiz states before commenting, "How long until the Coremac arrives I want to end this mission quickly."

Satine simply says, "I see you Padawaan, is as unbearable as you are."

"Actually I have been like this since before I started working with Ben here," Faiz starts and then finishes with, "I just don't want to be interacting with a Mandalore. Always their way or going to prison or banished from the planet. How many of your allies did you send away because they did not know that your path would mean them giving up their family history," if Satine could see his face they would see him looking into her very soul, "Your pacific nature does not mean you are not as bad as those who came before you. It just means that those who listen and agree with Death Watch will rally behind him thinking that the old ways are better just like the last Mandalore who shared your beliefs," with that Faiz had nothing else to say as he stepped away.

Satine was alone with Kenobi where she comments, "He is a strange Jedi."

Kenobi chuckles and says, "I am afraid that he is not Force Sensitive," surprising Satine before he continued, "If he was he probably be a Sith for the sheer fact that he does not believe in Jedi methods."

Satine nods in interest before saying, "Will you join me for a walk outside where we can talk in private."

With that they left the Palace, Faiz walked around before standing at a Monument for those who died in the last Civil War. Fair stands a short distance away from the Monument while a good distance away Satine spoke with Kenobi about the Death Watch. Faiz leaned on the edge of a garden as they started walking to the Monument when it exploded. Faiz was the first to rush forward and activated the Doctor who said, "Please state the Nature of the Medical em," that was as far as he got before rushing to the injured with a holographic scanner and started checking injuries while Faiz looked around ignoring Kenobi as he was speaking about wanting to talk to everyone there when one man started running away around the Monument.

The man made it to the other side when he was suddenly hit with a small electrical blast and was knocked to the ground as Kenobi saw, "I needed to speak with him Junk Wolf."

Faiz calmly dropped down from the broken remains of the Monument as he stepped over to the downed possible member of Death Watch and flipped him over as he was speaking in Old Mandalorian, "I will never talk, not that you will understand me."

"Oh, but I can," Faiz states as he crouches next to him and says, "If you are not careful I may not give you the antidote to your current state, and unless you receive said antidote you will be like this for the rest of your life. Care to talk? Who is the leader of Death Watch?"

Satine saw this and was about to protest before the man starts shout, "PRE VISLA!"

Faiz smiles and slaps the side of his face and says, "Don't worry about this, it only last twenty minute. Just enough time for you to go to prison for all the people you just killed," with that Faiz punched him in the face knocking him out.

Satine frowns and says, "Why did you do this?"

Faiz simply answered, "Would you rather him dead, or perhaps missing limbs when my way was actually the most pacifist way of completing this mission. Plus, my way meant that no one else had to die. Now if you don't mind I need to collect my doctor," Satine glared at his retreating form.

Kenobi simply says, "Considering that Faiz has actually been a big supporter of the Neutral Forces you lead," Satine was actually surprised at that before Kenobi adds "Who is Pre Visla?"

"He is the Governor of Mandalore's Moon, Concordia," Satine states.

Kenobi then says, "Then I wish to speak with him," as they return to the bomb site, Satine's guards taking the bomber to a nice cold cell for him to enjoy.

Geonosis-One Hour Later

Scar watched as his forces travelled around the planet taking down all Clone resistance and all that was left was a heavily fortified base that has the only Jedi Master on the planet, along with a Padawaan learner. Scar calmly walked up to the base as some clones betrayed their brothers and opened the gates for Scar to walk right in and were the first to be cut down. Scar then laughed as he threw his axes killing many clones and destroying the tanks and vehicles used to defend the base. While Scar made his presence known his Ninroids were killing the clones silently as Scar then faced the Jedi Master and Padawaan Learner. His axes stopped the light sabres and the Jedi Master only lasted two swings before he was impaled from behind and had his head removed from Scar, and the Padawaan Learner was then captured and taken away by battle droids and then taken off world. Scar had complete control over Geonosis. He would be called by Dooku and his Geonosian Ally who sent droids to the planet to start construction of the new droid factory hidden in a Mountain Hive.

En route to Concordia-Two hours later

Faiz had his arms crossed in annoyance as he sat behind Satine and Kenobi as the reflected on old times, before they ended up arguing, her Royal Guards standing outside the cockpit to guard her. They were ten minutes away from the moon as Kenobi comments on the forests that had only recently begun to regrow on the surface of the moon due to the mining operations during the last war. What they were mining was Mandalorian Iron Ore, a mineral that can block a Lightsabre from cutting through instantly. Faiz frowns as they came in for a landing as they were met with the Governor of Concordia, Pre Visla, that caused Faiz to freeze for a moment as he reached for his ledt arm and ignored the introductions by Satine until Kenobi tapped his arm and he saw that Pre Visla was speaking with him, "Are you okay, young Jedi?"

Faiz calming himself long enough to take the hand and says, "Not a Jedi, nice moon you have here."

Pre Visla chuckles as he says, "Well it is rather small," Pre Visla then directed them inside for diner as Kenobi sneaks away after giving Satine a communicator and ear piece to contact him with in an emergency and then left with a speeder bike to check the local mines. While Faiz and Satine was directed into the building where Pre Visla poured the pair a drink while Satine made the comment of Kenobi needing to quickly meditate before diner. Pre Visla than starts speaking about politics where Faiz took notice of the Mentions of Death Watch while he also hears from Satine's ear piece that Kenobi was in need of help, plus Satine using comments that answered Pre Visla's questions. Pre Visla then asks Faiz, "What is your opinion on of Death Watch?"

Faiz simply answered, "They are a bunch of hired thugs with delusions of grandeur," appearing not to notice the looks of anger on Pre Visla's face before saying, "Plus I hear their leader is a coward."

Pre Visla stands before taking a calming breath and says, "Well I am sure that maybe the case. Now if you will excuse me I need to check with the council of Concordia."

Pre Visla exits the room before Satine stands and with Faiz started heading back to the docks and Satine got on a hover bike with Faiz riding behind her. With Satine giving him a questioning glare he says, "I don't know how to drive a hover bike. Come on we have to save Ben."

With that the pair followed Kenobi's signal and found his bike parked outside a mine where they snuck their way inside and heard some mining equipment. Satine made a trap while Faiz just travelled down the Ore to the crusher. Satine then followed after him with the intention of saving Kenobi without getting into a fight. Which worked as Faiz reached the controls and turned the beam holding Kenobi in place off allowing him to flip away from the crusher. Satine says, "Turn the machine off."

Faiz shakes his head before saying, "Hide," with that the three hid as the Death Watch members returned in their dark blue armour see the machines still working and Kenobi's harness empty above the melting gears. They look around before Faiz dropped down on the two and violently smashed their heads together violently knocking them both out cold. Faiz looks at the pair and says, "This armour is new, most liking from the small Mining Operation they started to hide their tracks. My guess if this Armed Conflict never happened then Death Watch would have waited a couple decades to increase their numbers to attack Mandalore."

"You cannot be serious," Satine starts as they calmly walk to the elevator.

Faiz sighs and says, "Fortunately as long as the Republic avoids sending troops to Mandalore then there would be no reason for the Seperatist to join Death Watch in invading Mandalore."

"What do you mean?" Satine questions in shock as they reach an elevator that takes them up.

Faiz then goes on to speak, "As long as the Republic stay away from Mandalore the Seperatists would look like invaders but if the Republic comes in first then they would look like liberators."

The elevator doors opened and they saw they were in the mining area and the trio took cover behind the rocks as Kenobi notices, "This is definitely a Death Watch base."

Faiz remained unseen as Death Watch spotted Kenobi who disarmed them and knocked them out as other members of Death Watch appeared and were shot down by Kenobi's poor shooting. Three Death Watch members started flying towards them as Faiz shouts, "You are a Jedi, use the Force damn it!" Kenobi nods before using the Force and pushing them off course where they crash. Faiz sighs and says, "Seriously you could have just crushed their jetpacks and they could have fallen."

Kenobi shakes his head before he and Faiz notices the Death Watch Leader and Faiz was visibly shaking in terror as he looked to the weapon on his shoulder. The leader killed his injured soldier and removes his helmet revealing Pre Visla who says, "Come out Jedi time to prove who is the coward," as he threw Kenobi his lightsabre while Faiz remained behind the rock.

Faiz watched as Pre Visla revealed the Dark Sabre in all its black glory. Faiz did his best to calm down before muttering to Kenobi, "Don't let that blade touch you, or it will be the end of you."

Kenobi frowns at that but nods before engaging Pre Visla in combat avoiding every attack from the Dark Sabre until Kenobi embarrassed him before he ordered his men to kill him, where they fired three tracking missiles that Kenobi dodged the first pass before he grabbed Satine and Faiz and drops down the elevator shaft to avoid the missile impact where they made their way back to the speeder bikes.

Satine checks on Faiz and asks, "You are shaking with fear what happened?"

Faiz was silent for a moment before saying, "The Dark Sabre, it is one of the weapons in the galaxy that could kill my kind instantly," Kenobi's eyes widened in shock before Faiz unconsciously grabbed his left arm deep in thought as Faiz continued, "To a Force Sensitive, a single cut can disconnect that connection. And what could be a fatal injury would make it permanent."

"The Dark Sabre, that is what took your arm?" Kenobi asks and if Faiz was not wearing that helmet they would see a look of terror as he remembered the past. Kenobi then says, "It is still affecting you," he states as Faiz sighs audibly.

Faiz then goes on to say, "The Dark Blade is poisonous to me. The longer I am under the effect of the injury I am dying slowly."

Kenobi closes his eyes and says in annoyance, "Which is what the Doctor constantly tries to talk with you about," with that he gets on his speeder bike while Faiz gets on behind Satine as Kenobi says, "You should have told us we could have helped you."

"No, you could not," Faiz states as they leave 'abandoned' mine and returned to her ship with Faiz being silent and still suffering from traumatic events that still haunt him to this day, while Kenobi was thinking of ways to help his young friend. Satine was deep in thought too, only it was how to protect her people from the War and Death Watch.

The next day-Royal Docks-Coremac Landing zone

Anakin and Ahsoka walked out with two squads of Clones, with Rex and Cody leading them. Faiz was standing near Kanobi and Satine as they started arguing about politics, both misunderstanding the other annoying Faiz. Faiz then completely ignored them as he focused on Ahsoka as she walked over and asks, "Anything interesting happen?"

"Well," Faiz started before saying, "Kenobi and Satine are arguing like the old married couple they probably would have become. Ben is also making the mistake of thinking that the Seperatists are already helping Death Watch when in fact they won't make a move until the Republic decide to 'intervene," issue with that is that Senators are going to use this as an excuse to invade anyway. Probably use some fake evidence have their way."

Ahsoka then looks at him strangely as he asks, "Are you okay? You seem off?"

"Just dealing with issues from my past that just showed up today to bring up stuff that I would rather forget," Faiz states before he starts walking into the ship as The WolfBlade was moved into the Hanger bay. Accel and R4G3R were waiting inside for them. They went down to the cargo hold after the ship took off and entered space. Kenobi gave his orders before they were called up to the dining hall where Ahsoka and Faiz joined Skywalker and Kenobi in meeting with the Mandalore and Senators as Satine was speaking about her view on the war. Once Kenobi entered the talk, after Skywalker introduced himself and Ahsoka, the room fell silent as Kenobi were arguing their views and after five minutes of this Faiz suddenly shouts, "OH GET A ROOM!" shocking everyone as Faiz gets between them and says, "Ben, she is trying to look out for her people who, have suffered from war and are still in the process of rebuilding!" Faiz then turned to Satine and shouts, "You are the Force Damned Mandalore! If you want something take it for Force sake, there have been many Mandalores who have felt the same as you and they still fought for their beliefs because they understood there is other ways to fight and sometimes one's own feelings have to take a step back to protect the people. But when that fight is postponed you can follow your beliefs!" With that Faiz left the shocked room with an angry stomp out the room and down the hall where he finds his room he is sharing with Ahsoka, even though he never intended to step foot in here.

Twenty minutes later Accel and R4G3R stepped in and beeped causing Faiz to smile under his helmet before Kenobi and Ahsoka arrived and Kenobi asks, "I don't believe Satine and I, getting a room would help matters, unless we were both armed with weapons."

Faiz was silent as Ahsoka asks, "What was that all about?"

Faiz was silent for a moment before saying, "My clan in ancient times left Mandalore because we were sick of being the ever changing Mandalore's attack dogs. It got worse as time went on, either a conquers or pacifists who felt we were perfect to ensure that no one broke the law in Mandalorian territory. Death Watch is just another group that will either fail or succeed taking over Mandalore. The problem becomes who would control that new Mandalore."

Kenobi frowns and says, "Of course and with the vote occurring soon after our arrival."

"For all we know, The Chancellor could be imitating the ancient sith to take control or Dooku is trying it. Not that it matters," Faiz states as he leans back before looking to Kenobi and Ahsoka and says, "You two should return to the diner, while Skywalker returns to the cargo hold."

"And what are you going to do?" Ahsoka questions the Rider.

"I am going to sit here in boredom until something happens and with Kenobi and Skywalker being on this ship, it will probably be during the main course," Faiz taunts the two. Who shake their heads. Kenobi heading for the Cargo hold while Ahsoka returns to the Senators and Mandalore in their discussions. Faiz stands and decides to go for a walk with Accel while R4G3R heads back to the cargo hold to scan for issues with R2D2 and the clones. Faiz eventually walked past Kenobi and Skywalker who walked into their shared quarters and spoke of Kenobi's past with Satine that Faiz ignores and slowly walked toward the dining area where Kenobi eventually catches up to him and directed him into the room while Accel stood next to the door while Ahsoka was sitting near Satine.

Satine then asks, "Padawaan Tano, what is your view of the war."

Ahsoka was silent for a moment before she says, "I question whether it is even a war. By definition this is an armed conflict as the Senate refuses to name the Seperatists as their own Governing Body. As Junk Wolf has stated previously to myself and multiple Senators, until such a decision is made then the actual criminals are getting away with profiting from War, like the Trade Federation selling battle droids to the Seperatists. If the Republic was truly at war, such corruption would have been weeded out and would been a first step of achieving peace."

Satine frowns at that and says, "Declaring War to create Peace?"

"Yeah, the Chancellor has been actively avoiding talking the Confederacy," Faiz states before saying, "Those in Neutral systems would have greater power in such in a war, as they can be the ones directing the peace talks of the warring sides."

Faiz leans on the wall opposite Accel as Kenobi spoke, "As you can see Junk Wolf has been an interesting change amongst the Jedi." Satine simply nods in understanding before Kenobi's communicator beeps and he answers away from everyone else. Faiz listens in and hears about a disturbance down stairs and mentions of an Assassins Droid. Faiz stepped out the room and shut the door only to suddenly be shoved back through and punching the machine as it tried to stab him into ground as Faiz was punching the robot the best he could. Faiz was then lifted onto the table and slammed several times as Ahsoka and Kenobi activated their lightsabres.

Faiz shouts, "No don't!" with that the two Jedi into the robot allowing Faiz to kick it away and him to shout, "Everyone get out the room!" As the Spider Assassin Droid started shaking as a small army of mini spider droids made an appearance and starts swarming towards the senators as Faiz typed a code into his phone before pulling the trigger and blasting into several mini Spiders as Accel drew its wheel weapon and start blasting. Faiz then shouts, "Save one!" Faiz started destroying all the spiders as Ahsoka and Kenobi protected the Senators as the protocol droid was destroyed. Satine drew a deactivator, that she used to damage the different spiders as Faiz catches a spider droid under a clear lid that it climbed around in as secretly Faiz pulled out a strange tube and did a task in secret before all the spiders were destroyed. Faiz took his hostage out the room while Kenobi and Ahsoka cleared the room.

Once they were done Kenobi steps out the room in time to see Skywalker coming up from the cargo hold and says, "There is three, the third is still in the cargo hold. But the manifest droid says the cargo did not have a name. Our men are searching for it now."

Faiz then reveals his hostage and Skywalker was about to cut it down when Faiz pulled it away and says, "How do you expect us to catch the traitor," causing everyone to blink.

Kenobi looks to Skywalker and Ahsoka and says, "You two find the last Assassin Droid, we will find the traitor," Skywalker nods while Ahsoka follows him down to the cargo hold.

Faiz walks back into the room after placing a small sheet over the spider droid as they went inside.

One of the Senator, A fat blue Twi'lek man with a huge appetite saw the covered container and says, "Oh, desert," and chuckles.

Faiz smiling under his helmet says, "Well I am sure this would be a desert somewhere in the galaxy," as he removed the sheet resulting in the Senator gasping in shock as he came face to face with a spider droid that tried to attack him and failed. The Senator sighs and relaxes. Satine was about to argue about this being torture until Faiz says, "Actually, we are discovering who smuggled the assassin droids onto the ship," Faiz walked around everyone until he reached the Senator of Mandalore and says, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Pre Visla's Left hand."

The Mandalorian Senator suddenly stands and was held in a choke hold and slammed into the table with a detonator in his hand that he had in front of Faiz trying to stop him as he says, "It have bombs planted all over the ship!"

"I know, I already had them defused," Faiz countered before the Mandalorian Senator activated the detonator only for nothing to happen. Faiz laughs under his helmet as the Mandalorian Senator was shocked, "Told ya," the Spider still in the sealed container was still trying to break out of the durable plastic on the table. Faiz then spoke some more, "You know when you were chasing me into the smelting pits all those years, I never forget a scent, and to think you and your accomplice of Death Watch, is working as the Mandalore's head of staff," That shocked Satine as Faiz continued, "If I had my you would be thrown out the air lock without a space suit. But I can accept knocking you out fair," with that Faiz knocked the former Senator of Mandalore unconscious as Skywalker and Ahsoka arrived at the scene. Faiz threw him to the floor and walked out the room leaving Satine in shock.

Satine then made her way out the room after Faiz and stopped him and says, "How sure are you about my chief of staff?"

"He did not wear a helmet," Faiz states as he heads towards his room only to be stopped again.

"That armour you wear? Why have you not removed your helmet?" Satine questions, neither noticing that Ahsoka had hid herself around a corner.

"Because I don't want to take it off," Faiz answered still annoyed about being stopped.

Satine then asks, "Or is it because of what Death Watch did to you?" Faiz said nothing more as the scene became deathly silent. Satine then continued, "That suit is the only thing keeping you alive, Is it not?" with that Faiz then walked away saying nothing while Ahsoka was confused at that.

Ahsoka followed Satine back towards the Dining area before she stopped her and asks, "What do you know about Junk Wolf?" her voice filled with concern.

Satine simply says, "He is dying, and it is because of Death Watch member, Pre Visla and his use of the Dark Sabre," Satine then walked past Ahsoka who was silently contemplating how it could be possible before she remembered the face tattoos that had vanished from his face after the Ultimate Race. She was so deep in thought she almost missed Skywalker getting her attention and them going to dinner leaving Ahsoka to think through diner silently before returning to her shared cabin only to find it empty as Faiz spent the night in the cargo hold with the clones until they reached Coresaunt, where he walked with Kenobi as Satine disembarked. Satine looks at Faiz and simply says, "Can you please reveal your face," Faiz was hesitant before sighing and removing his helmet revealing his seventeen year old face. Satine frowns but nods as she lets him place his helmet back on and to walk away as she spoke with Kenobi about how she disliked the beard and about how it covered his face.

Several Days Later-Coresaunt sublevels-Crowded courtyard.

Satine was hiding from the police and the member of Death Watch that had been hunting her down for murder she had been framed for, by Death Watch. On her person was the full recording of a message from Mandalore. Now she was deep in thought waiting for Kenobi as the vote was in two days, about what Junk Wolf had said about her being Mandalore and thinking this would be her only chance makes a decision. As Kenobi takes a seat next her she says, "Not here, we need somewhere we can talk in private and away from prying eyes," Kenobi silently nods before the two make their way through the Sub Level and avoided the Death Watch assassin that had been chasing them when Faiz snuck his way to the Death Watch agent and caught him to be interrogated by the Jedi, after a night of being unconscious and his weapons removed.

Eventually Kenobi led Satine to a bar with rooms above that the Jedi used as a safe house and knew they would be safe, so he removes the cloak from his head and says, "What is going on Satine?"

"I have a copy of the full message from Mandalore and Death Watch has framed me for the crime of murdering my informant," Satine admits getting an understanding look from Kenobi before she says, "The Senate need to see this before the vote."

Kenobi simply says, "Well the next meeting is tomorrow Afternoon before the vote." Satine nods before getting close to Kenobi and rubbing his chin through his beard while staring into his eyes causing Kenobi to ask, "Satine, what are you?"

Satine simply says, "Junk Wolf was right, I am the Mandalore," before she jumps Kenobi and has a night of passion that had been coming for a very long time and would never be repeated in their life time. Kenobi not having the will to say no to her.

The next day-Senate building

Satine walked up to the Senate Building and turned herself in as Kenobi snuck inside and had Senator Amadala reveal the information and saving Mandalore from a Republic Occupation and how it would have destroyed Mandalore and the Republic forces. In the end Satine was pardoned when the Jedi revealed that Death Watch had been planning to join the Seperatist only if the Republic invaded Mandalore, while also revealing that there was no civil war as the people were still recovering from the last war. Satine would spend a couple more days on Coresaunt before returning to Mandalore alone with a secret that would go with her to the grave and not saying goodbye to Kenobi before her departure.

Jedi Temple-A week later

Faiz could only sigh as he looked to what was about happen, they were going to Geonosis, the problem with that is that it is a bug planet and he did not want deal with a bug civilisation. They all had a secret danger that no one outside their cultures knew and he would not elaborate when asked about it. Honestly he would have preferred to help with Ryloth, but that was before he joined the Republic. What made it worse was who he would be working with, Misato/Kaixa and Yuuto, as they were to join the engagement where they would all be joining the battle in the same position that he clearly found that it was stupid. Faiz made his opinion known and Skywalker says, "Get over it."

Faiz was annoyed before saying, "Well I don't like this plan," Faiz had his arms crossed while Masato shakes his head.

Misato says, "Are you sure that it is not because I am going to be with Skywalker instead of you?"

"No it is because of this being a bug planet," Faiz states while Yuuto nods in agreement.

Ahsoka frowns before making a comment, "What does that matter?"

Yuuto answered, "Bug planets have a Hive mind that can affect anyone that enters it. Every bug planet is different. We don't know the Geonosian Hive mind."

Faiz had his arms crossed as Kenobi frowns and says, "Well for now, we have to capture and destroy that Droid Factory. Then you can complain afterwards."

Faiz sighs and goes back to silently complaining while Yuuto patted his shoulder only to have his name knocked off his shoulder. Faiz simply spent time listening to the flawed plan even when everyone ignored him when he mentioned the wall or the hazards leading up to the landing zone. Especial when he mentioned the fact that Kenobi's rout actually had more hidden obstacles leading to the landing zone, or how the third Jedi would have to fly through a canyon that was disconnected from the landing zone by a tunnel underground leading to Skywalker's route. Eventually they concluded the meeting where they all went to the main military port where each group went to their ships the WolfBlade was already docked into Kenobi's Star Destroyer and then the trip to Geonosis would take close to three days to travel to Geonosis, and Faiz's normal question of 'Could I just meet you there?' because no one listened to him before the ship was being prepared for the trip that would take three days inside a Star Destroyer. It was only made longer as all the ships arrived at the checkpoints before they moved to the next checkpoint in the attack. A result being that each checkpoint would last a full day before they continued the journey.

The only point that made it all bearable was fact that Clank was messaging him from the Resolute about scientific experiment theory. Some of which even he did not have access to anymore being lost to history. Faiz they eventually reached the day they would reach Geonosis when Kenobi arrived in the hanger and called Faiz to come up to the Communication room, where they proceeded to repeat the entire mission plan that they did before the journey started. Master Luminara and Master Mundi was a hologram as they arrived to the room. They waited a couple minutes where Skywalker, Ahsoka, with Clank on her back, and Misato appeared along with Yuuto who appeared next to Master Mundi.

Towards the end of the discussion Ahsoka speaks up, "What about the wall that was mentioned we would be flying over?" Skywalker waved her off.

Faiz on the other hand says, "On the way Clank and I calibrated his shock charges, they will now only affect the type of stone used by the local Geonosian constructions of the planet. They won't affect droids or organic life forms again until they are reset."

Skywalker spoke up, "What were you thinking?"

"That you were going to be you and this is going to fail on your part," Faiz states and if Skywalker saw his face he would find him glaring at Skywalker instead of the assumed smile that everyone thought his helmet concealed. Everyone who was not, Master Skywalker or Misato, had a smile on their faces at the honest answer that Faiz gave them.

Kenobi then comments, "Well my former Padawaan, Junk Wolf has clearly done his homework on you," Kenobi then looks at the table and says, "Everyone the operation starts in one hour sink our time keepers," with that everyone started their time keepers. As their ships entered hyperspace.

The Chancellor then appeared and says, "Greetings Generals, I have been informed of the operation, and wanted the details."

Faiz though stepped forward and says, "Well, three Jedi's are going in for a triple Suicide mission to deal with something that would only take one Jedi and a distraction," with that he hanged up on the Chancellor.

Skywalker shouts, "What the hell was that about?"

"Oh I am sorry, we are minutes away from a major and you want to risk the Seperatists on the planet in question gets a warning of our attack," Faiz states with annoyance and walks away quickly before Kenobi started clearing things up as the Chancellor returned with an annoyed look before Skywalker and Misato explained the details of the mission causing Kenobi, Luminara, Mundi and Ahsoka frowns at this. While Yuuto just ignores the clear failure to understand security.

Yuuto walked away silently prepared to engage the planet they are heading too. Faiz was sitting down next to the WolfBlade where they waited for the attack to start Accel being himself and R4G3R was interfacing with the WolfBlade as Faix was spending time prepping for the mission. Eventually the time arrived and Kenobi walked past the WolfBlade and says, "Time to go, though Skywalker has informed the Chancellor of the battle plan."

Faiz simply nods as R4G3R was finalising preperations on the WolfBlade while Accel shifted into the ship as Faiz walked with Kenobi to the drop ships as they proceeded to exit Hyperspace and the Star Destroyers started shooting the Seperatist Blockade as the Dropships start flying out the ships quickly and sped past the blockade with limited air support. Only with one change to the plan where the WolfBlade started speeding down to the planet giving the dropships support as it flew.

With Mundi's group-Surface

Mundi's drop ships crashed onto the surface after being shot down by hidden anti-aircraft weapons that shot Mundi's forces down and most of his clones were injured including himself, Yuuto had transformed into his Orphnoch form and start cutting down ground spikes that blocked the path for the tanks as Mundi proceeded to more the injured clones on the sole remaining tank where it could travel along the path where they proceeded to find no resistance as Mundi joined Yuuto in clearing a path. Eventually finding a path upwards that led to the tunnels that would lead them to Skywalker's route that led through the tunnel that Yuuto took the lead on by five minutes and when Mundi arrived it was to the sight of Yuuto's Horse Orphnoch who was slashing through several Geonosians that tried to sneak attack them only for Yuuto to use a combination of his sword and a large stalagmite that he cut down and was clubbing the flying Geonosians. Mundi was really thankful for this as his was still injured from the crash and the path was cleared to the point where they see light again.

With Skywalker's Group-After the crashlanding.

Skywalker opened the crashed drop ship as they rushed towards cover, that they reached quickly with Kaixa supplying long range cover with his main weapon only missing every shot. They reached the main route through the ravine that would lead them back.

Skywalker sees ahead and says, "You were meant to learn the route!" to Ahsoka.

Ahsoka simply says, "Oh you mean like how, Junk Wolf and I managed to come up with a plan for in the event that we did not make it past!" with that Clank disconnected from her back and shakes in position before his front panel opened revealing a large green egg shaped grenade that Ahsoka accepts before pressing the button on the top and threw the Granade down to the base of the wall structure before expanding with energy that covered the bottom half of the wall that covered the entire wall that then fell apart and dropped to the ground as the droids inside and above the wall was crushed by gravity.

Skywalker was shocked before he shouted in shock, "Okay, What have you been doing with Junk Wolf?" Kaixa was glaring at Ahsoka where she was quickly and Skywalker and Ahsoka used the Force to clear the path of the wreckage off the path where they proceeded march through the ravine in time to see Geonisians fly out the tunnel while further towards the landing site, they see a flash of red inside a circle of drop ships fight what appeared to be green ninja droids while Accel was flying above throwing droids off of itself.

Ahsoka frowns at this before shouting, "We need to get over there!" with that Ahsoka and the clones rushed forward while Kaxia stepped next to Skywalker.

Kaixa says, "I do not trust Junk Wolf," getting a nod from Skywalker.

With Junk Wolf-After landing at the landing site-Invasion Start

Faiz was annoyed as they had been in separate drop ships during deployment. Faiz was the first out the ship and says, "Have the ships surrounding the landing zone, to act as cover protecting the wounded." The clones followed his orders as the WolfBlade flew through the air and provided air support. Faiz fired a blast of energy sniping a battle droid with a missile launcher where it exploded on contact that destroyed the battle droid and those around them. Faiz then shouts to the clones, "Send someone to get Kenobi! And get him back here to take over!" He spots Cody and throws him the Doctor device and says, "Whoever you send, have them take that so in case of injury!" with that said Faiz suddenly turns around and blasts a green Ninja droid of the roof of the landed Drop Ship. "Get To It!" as several more green ninja droids made their presence known as they started their attack on Faiz and getting swarmed by the droids before suddenly the WolfBlade flew above the landing zone where Accel dropped out and crashed on the ground before charging the Green Ninja Droids and tackled the droids quickly freeing Faiz enough for him to draw Accel's Sabre from his handle bar and then proceeded to attack the droids that were distracted inside the landing zone.

Faiz was defending against the Green Ninja Droids were overpowering the two before Accel took flight at high speed where he flew into the air and threw a ninja droid into the air where the WolfBlade flew past and cut the droid in half before Accel turned to the ground and went full speed where he crashes a droid into the ground. Accel then skid along the ground as it sped forward along the ground and back handed one of the droids. Faiz was doing his best to stab the Droids only to discover that unless they were completely shattered like what Accel has done, or completely broken beyond repair. Faiz rushed forward and slashed through their chest at high speed as Kenobi was brought over with the Doctor and five clone troopers. Kenobi sees Faiz fighting with Accel and found the only orders he could give was, "Keep defending the landing zone. We have to hope that Anakin will get past that wall quickly."

Kenobi's comment was met with Ahsoka jumping over the landing zone defences and stabbing one of the Ninja Droids in the back and leaving the blade their long enough to melt into the droid causing it to crack and burst as it was destroyed. Ahsoka then charged to another Ninja Droid. As Faiz continued slashing into the Ninja Droids having little success until they managed to destroy the next Ninja Droid as Accel tackles the last Ninja Droid and started punching it at high speed causing the Ninja Droid's face until it was a pancake.

Ahsoka took a deep breath as she collected herself and drops Clank and says, "Everyone okay?" as her clone troopers rushed to the scene with the medic helping with the wounded as suddenly a squad of Republic with Bombers flue by where they destroyed all the droids that were between them and the Droid Factory.

Kenobi spoke, "Well, I need a doctor," Kenobi then looked to The Doctor and says, "No offence, I would like a bed to recover if it is all the same."

The Doctor simply replies, "Well considering I agree with you, I am not offended. That being said, the wounded need to leave, they will be easy prey for the Ninja Droids."

Ahsoka asks, "What the hell were they anyway?"

"Old tech, like Quixtreme, only they are a bit more capable. There will be more inside the factory," Faiz states.

Skywalker says, "Then we better attack now," With that Skywalker and his troops lead the charge with Kaixa while Faiz, Ahsoka, Yuuto and Mundi's clones stay at the landing site. While the WolfBlade took care of air support. Faiz was ready with Yuuto at his back the entire time expecting a another attack. Skywalker and Kaixa return after destroying the shield generator, Skywalker and Kaixa bonding on their kill count. Faiz ignored them as he and Yuuto walked over to Kenobi and Mundi.

The Doctor was behind them on the drop ship as Mundi help his fellow injured Jedi to the ship, they turned to Faiz and Yuuto and Kenobi says, "Junk Wolf you are in charge of the men until I get back."

Faiz was about to argue when Skywalker spoke his disagreement, "You cannot be serious, Master."

Kenobi simply says, "I am, he can handle the battle. Anakin, you have to lead your own troops with Junk Wolf leading mine."

Skywalker then says, "Misato can do the job," pointing to Kaixa.

Kenobi shakes his head and says, "My troops know Junk Wolf and understand each other. Plus I trust Junk Wolf more with them." Skywalker appeared annoyed but accepted that. Kenobi then says, "All of you handle that Factory, you should have it destroyed before I return," with that Kenobi and Mundi left for their Star Destroyer to get treatment leaving Skywalker in command of the next stage of the battle where he had the troops fortify the position before they started the next stage of the assault.

:End of Chapter 12:

This Chapter was done surprisingly quickly though having a clear idea of what I wanted helped.

Until Next time...BEWARE THE WRAITH!
