The Forced Rider 555 Chapter 13

I OWN NOTHING So Far!

:Chapter start:

Komino-Historical Science Lab-three hours since the end of last chapter.

Inside a little used lab as there was no recovered Kominian DNA strands or bodies was resting, They had retrieved a what appeared to be an ancient Cryogenic Pod that was sealed and the systems was being powered by an adapted power source. They detected an organic entity inside only it appeared to be heavily armoured, enough so that the scientist's sensors struggled to detect organic matter.

Geonosia-Morning the next day

Faiz was listening to Ahsoka's briefing with rapt attention, even as Skywalker interrupted her constantly until finally Skywalker dismissed the clones causing Faiz to suddenly say, "What's the plan? Ahsoka suddenly went silent half way through her sentences."

Ahsoka smirks and chuckles and says, "Skyguy interrupted me during my briefing."

Faiz looked to Skywalker and says, "How could you," before turning to Ahsoka and saying, "Think you could give me a private briefing. Just so I know the actual details with this annoying buzzing taking over the conversation."

Faiz started walking away with Ahsoka when Master Luminara and another Milarian girl, about the same age as Ahsoka so about a year younger then Faiz. Master Luminara Unduli spoke, "Knight Skywalker, Padawaan Tano, this is my Padawaan Barris Offee. We have the battle plan to engage the Droid Factory."

Unfortunately that was when Rex arrived and says, "Generals you are going to want to see this," with that Rex lead the Jedi and Junk Wolf to the forward staging area where they see what most of the assume to be a single Green Ninja Droid only Junk Wolf knew whom this was. Rex spoke, "it just appeared and has done nothing it appears to be waiting."

Faiz groans before saying, "That is Scar, he was the one who programmed the factories with the Green Ninja Drones blueprint. And he will attack anyone trying to cross to the factory."

"Then I guess I can go destroy droid and solve the problem," Skywalker started walking forward only for Faiz to stop him.

Faiz simply says, "It's not you he wants to fight."

"He?" Ahsoka questioned.

"Old tech Mech, the programming for them required a seriously complex computer system," Faiz states simply as everyone had raised eyebrows before Faiz sighs and says, "They had to take a living brain and either insert it in the Mech or replicated said brain. Scar has the mind of an early Force Sensitive who was overwhelmed with the power it afforded."

Skywalker comments, "So what he knows how to fight a Jedi?" unfortunately a black axe with a heated blade was spinning through the air aiming for Skywalker before Faiz kicked him out the way as the axe continued to fly until Scar caught the blade.

Faiz states, "Actually he kept his connection to the Force in the Process," with that Accel stepped over allowing Faiz to draw Accel's Sabre with the chip and says, "You are going to have to complete the mission without me," this was when Green Ninja Drones started jumping forward. "Good luck you two," Faiz said to Ahsoka and Barris, Barris appearing to blush before calming down as Ahsoka was given her mission of infiltrating the Droid Factory from the maze of tunnels under it, with Barris knowing all two hundred junctions. (Ahsoka and Barris' part of the story is the same as cannon.)

Faiz calmly walked forward as Scar appeared impatient as he sharpened his axes on each other a very intimidating scene that a normal sentient being would probably be scared of. Scar spoke, "Surprised one of you finally decided to fight."

Faiz simply says, "You know you were better off in you box." Scar grit his teeth before charging forward where Faiz guards the double downward blow as Scar started to glow orange on the seams and appeared to get slightly faster. Faiz already knew what was happening as Scar replicated Quixtreme's abilities. Faiz was able to push back and says, "So he activated the Mimix."

"Yeah funny how he was able to transfer copied versions of other bots abilities though only one," Scar states before speeding forward and his speed increased as they continued to exchange strikes.

Over with the clones who defended against the Green Ninja Drones poorly. Skywalker and Master Luminara were only able to fight back due to working together to melt through the Drones. Accel's ability to fly allowed for him to hammer punch and throw some over the edge of the bridge. R4G3R though was the most successful as he fired tendrils into a couple Drones and whipped them around where they crashed and shattered before R4G3R collected some fallen blasters and went gun happy as he destroyed them, with clear whoops of joy.

Faiz eventually was forced back as Scar was stronger the Faiz as Scar knocked him back, Faiz fell to his knees and started thinking before dodging to the left of an high speed Scar. Faiz as he dodged grabbed the Accel Watch Battle Chip and inserted the chip in his driver and proceeded to transformed into Faiz Accel form and pressed the button on the watch, -Start Up- with that as his armour opened before he sped forward at high speed before he used the Battleiser on his other wrist as he sped forward and with a glowing fist punched through Scar's chest and says, "Mass times Acceleration equals me ending you."

Scar growls and says, "Your too late anyway, Dooku has my drones along with other Mechs ready to take my place. YOU HAVE ACHEIEVED NOTHING!" before he literally melted from the extra power supplied by Mimix from Quixstreme. Faiz breathed deeply as the assault went ahead as planned just slightly early. Faiz fell down to his knees as his Accel form collapsed and he was breathing deeply as the clones had actually moved forward as Faiz realised how long he had actually been fighting as he transformed back into Junk Wolf. Junk Wolf was breathing deeply as a silver orb was all that remained from Scar as it was taken by a Green Ninja Drone before vanishing.

Junk Wolf stood as across the bridge several tanks started hovering out the factory. Junk Wolf stands and struggles to cross the bridge with the retreating clones, which surprised Skywalker as he did not order Junk Wolf to retreat. Skywalker shakes his head before saying, "We need those tanks to start crossing the bridge. I have a plan," with that Skywalker and Master Luminara climbed under the bridge and planted bombs under the bridge and detonated the bombs dropping the tanks violently into the ravine below. Skywalker then contacted Ahsoka, "Ahsoka, get out of there so we can detonate the bombs."

Junk Wolf with his communicator heard her response, "I am sorry Master. The bombs are gone but we can complete the mission. Goodbye," Junk Wolf's eyes widened before the entire factory exploded.

Junk Wolf's chest tightened before he started running to the factory ignoring Skywalker's shouted orders of, "Get air support here to move wreckage!"

Junk Wolf with Accel's help arrived at the crater's edge where he proceeded to leap into the still smouldering wreckage as with enhanced senses proceeded locate Ahsoka and Barris. Though for him the sound of sparks against a speaker was heard by him the made him rush to their position where he started moving the wreckage with Accel. Skywalker would arrive a couple minutes later as Junk Wolf's arms had been replaced with that of a grey beast and was slowly transforming into a monster and when he finally finished transforming into a Wolf Orphanoch he was lifting the last piece of wreckage covering Ahsoka and Barris, a chunk of wall the size of several tanks that he lifted without issue and throws the wrecked wall through the air like a discus several kilometres away. Junk Wolf staggered and transformed back into his human form as he looked into the Super Tank that had a circular hole on the front of the tank. Junk Wolf looks inside and asks, "You two okay?"

Ahsoka was thankfully still breathing in relief while Barris appeared to be staring at Junk Wolf without his armour and was struggling to find the right words. Ahsoka simply says, "Thanks Junky. Why aren't you in your armour?"

Junk Wolf took a deep breath and says, "Well," before he could finish he fell over in exhaustion.

Ahsoka climbed out the tank to help only for Barris to bump into Ahsoka as she rushed to Junk Wolf's side. As Skywalker arrived and asks Ahsoka, "You okay?"

"Yeah, Junk Wolf got to us before we ran out of air," Ahsoka answered before turning to Master Luminara and asks, "Did Barris ever meet Junk Wolf before today?"

"No," Luminara states before adding, "Though considering he managed to dig the two of you out while transforming alone."

Ahsoka quickly rushed to Junk Wolf to see him couscous before asking, "Should I get the doctor?" she noticed that some of his facial markings had become more detailed.

"No, he will just complain about me transforming. Just help me to the WolfBlade," Junk Wolf states before both Barris and Ahsoka under each arm helped him to the transport where they flew across the ravine where it returned to the staging area where the WolfBlade was parked and they saw Yuuto and Kaixa appearing to be arguing before Ahsoka and Barris helped Junk Wolf to the Wolfblade.

Junk Wolf was leaning against the WolfBlade as he listened to Kaixa, "You and Junk Wolf will betray us, because you are monsters that needs to be put down."

Yuuto simply states, "Then what about you? I was born this way, you are on the path of becoming one."

Junk Wolf was silent as Ahsoka speaks, "Perhaps instead of arguing about who the monster is you do your jobs. Yuuto, Junky transformed so can you get the Doctor please."

Yuuto crosses his arms at Junk Wolf, who simply says, "Don't give me that, the Faiz Gear ran out of power."

Yuuto shakes his head before walking over to the medical area while Kaixa simply states, "Strange considering that my armour does not run out of power whenever I fight," he taunts before turning to Ahsoka and says, "Perhaps you and I can get something to eat."

Ahsoka was about counter his request only for Barris to say, "I will keep an eye on Junk Wolf, while you two get something to eat," Ahsoka was about to speak only for Barris to push her forward towards Kaixa who led Ahsoka towards the mess, while Barris appeared to try using her abilities with the Force to try and heal Junk Wolf and not believing that she was not helping.

Yuuto eventually returned with the Holographic Doctor who pulled out a piece of equipment and says, "You need to rest for a couple hours and," the Doctor looks to Barris and says, "Make sure that you don't repeat what you did again," The Doctor started walking back to the medical area before looking to Barris Offee and says, "Come along you have a medical to receive."

Barris states, "I am only allowed to be medically check by a Milarian or machine."

Junk Wolf snorts before the Doctor states, "Then you are in good hands, as in a sense I am not a living lifeform. Now come, you are injured."

Barris was led away by the Doctor while Yuuto started glaring at Junk Wolf before they were alone and Yuuto spoke, "Takumi," Junk Wolf rolled his eyes as Yuuto continues, "You just cut your time in half." Junk Wolf was silent as Yuuto criticized him until finally saying, "Why?"

"Ahsoka was buried," Junk Wolf answered before thinking.

Yuuto sighed and says, "You know you will have to eventually tell her."

Junk Wolf sighs and says, "Does not matter. She is a Jedi, I am a monster would never work," with that Junk Wolf entered the Wolf Blade before deadlock sealing the Wolf Blade so he could recover. Not even Accel or R4G3R could get him to open the ship. It wouldn't be for several hours until Kenobi knocked to gain his attention.

With the King of Chorus-Throne room-That night

The King of Chorus paced the throne room as several robots were seen going to and from the castle. The reason for his pacing was simple in that Junk Wolf had been a problem in that he destroyed Quixtreme according to Dooku. The King could only think on how to catch Junk Wolf before he ruined everything. He took a seat in his throne as Dooku contacted him again.

The King was silent as Dooku showed a small sphere in his hand while saying, "Scar failed."

The King snorted and says, "And yet, you have all you need to rebuild him in your hand. Junk Wolf needs to be destroyed for both our sakes."

Dooku simply comments, "What do you suggest?"

The King answered, "There is one in my growing army that could get all the information that we need on him to gain the information on him and those around him. Then we can destroy him."

Dooku frowns before stating, "Then I hope it will work. My sources indicate that after the second invasion of Geonosis he will have orders to rest at the Jedi Temple. Now I must retire for the evening."

Dooku closed the communication signal from his end as The King simply speaks, "Well then, send the Fembots."

Geonosis-A day later

Faiz was standing in the communication centre of the base where Master Luminara was contacting them from her position tracing the Seperatist Leader Poggle the Lesser. Ahsoka and Barress were in orbit relaxing after almost exploding the day before. Currently Kaixa, Yuuto, Skywalker, Kenobi and Mundi was listening to Luminara make her report, "We have located a crate several kilometres from the Factory heading into the southern sector."

Mundi questions, "What could be out there? We destroyed and removed everything from the previous invasion, and nothing is out there for the current invasion."

Faiz asks, "What about historical or religious sites?"

Skywalker could not answer as Mundi spoke, "There is the ancient ruins of a forgotten deity."

Faiz asks, "What about the catacombs under it?" no one answered causing Faiz to growl and say, "Really? An entire culture whose major design of architecture since before they were considered sentient would dig tunnels between structures."

With that said Faiz started walking out the communication centre as Kenobi asks, "Where are you going."

"That sand storm is going to knock out all aircrafts and speeder bikes. Fortunately Accel can still ride for this mess you caused," Faiz states as he walks out the room.

Kaixa simply says, "He is not the only one," With that Kaixa followed Faiz outside as Accel transformed into his bike form while Kaixa summoned his bike from the Engineering area. Kaixa simply states, "I am not going to help you. Only the Jedi Master."

"And her Clone escort," Faiz states before speeding into the slowly forming sandstorm. Kaixa followed after him quickly their helmets able to filter out the sand that would blind their senses as they travelled in the four hours it would take to get there only to be an hour too late as something had taken Master Luminara and killed her clone Escort.

Chorus-Castle-With the Lady of Chorus-That Moment

The Lady of Chorus could only look out the balcony of her private chambers in boredom, looking to the ruined city and scrap that made up her domain. Honestly she did not care, her duty was inside the castle ensuring the most dangerous contents was still sealed away, which thankfully was. Only problem was that only she or her son could actually allow for their use again. The only reason so many droids and Mechs were reactivated was because they were not properly sealed before Rozubusa took claim to the throne, after her father's 'natural' death.

She then looks into the sky but focused on a single star with a look of longing and sadness, as she absentmindedly holds her right shoulder.

Geonosis-Progate Temple-Three hours later

Faiz and Kaixa arrived at the temple in time to see Master Luminara be pulled down into the tunnels below the temple while her clone escort was being strangled by what appeared to be a blind Geonosian. Faiz sped into the temple before hitting the brakes and smashing the Geonosian with his rear tire breaking the head away from the creature only for Faiz to notice that the head was still moving before a yellow worm crawled out the head before Faiz stomped on it and says, "Damn, found the Hive mind. You okay trooper?"

The clone removed his helmet and says, "About as okay as I can, though I am alive that is something to be thankful for."

Faiz nods before looking around and noticed Luminara's light sabre and says, "We are going to have to wait for back up."

Kaixa states, "And leave Luminara their prisoner?"

Faiz simply states, "Three against an un-dead horde," Faiz walks over to the communicator and picks it up to call the Jedi. Faiz got a signal and says, "Ben, heads up Luminara has been captured by un-dead Geonosians. When you can get here, make sure everyone is armed with close range weaponry."

Kenobi frowns before asking, "You are fighting the un-dead?"

Faiz looks up at a bust of an oddly shaped Geonosian's head and says, "I think we found the Queen's hiding place. Look, just get here as soon as the sandstorm eases up. You should have some time to reach us they are very slow."

Skywalker simply asks, "How the hell did you get there so quickly?"

"Well we had better transport," Faiz states before Kaixa took the communicator.

Kaixa spoke to them saying, "Listen, you are going to have to risk coming in before the storm lets out. Until then I will head on ahead into the tunnels."

Faiz took the communicator back before saying to Kenobi, "Send R3G4R in the Wolf Blade it can make it through the storm."

Skywalker states, "Then I will fly over in it," the communicator shut down before Faiz could continue.

Faiz was annoyed as he pinched his helmet where his nose was located. Faiz simply says, "Great, not only have I got Skyguy flying my ship and now I have to go with Kaixa into a pit of zombie bugs. I hate Bug planets, they always have a hostile Gimic." Kaixa was removing equipment from his bike as the storm let up near the Republic base. Skywalker arrived in the Wolf Blade which landed near the entrance before Faiz rushed over to the Wolf Blade as Skywalker and his Clone Captain Rex climbed out of the ship, Faiz opened a panel revealing a hidden compartment where he had equipment for heading underground, mainly underground transmitters.

Faiz closes the panel and walks over and places the first transmitter next to the tunnel entrance. Skywalker simply asks, "What is that?"

"Signal amplifier, place these every so often and then we can keep in contact with the surface," Faiz states.

Kaixa on the other hand says, "We won't need them, and drops down the tunnel.

Skywalker smirks and says, "I like his style," and went to follow only for Faiz to stop him and Skywalker asks, "What are you doing?"

"Considering that Kaixa does not listen to those who know what they are doing," Faiz starts before saying, "His armour should protect him, you and Rex not so much."

Skywalker frowns before commenting, "Then give me your armour and I will join him?"

Faiz sighs and says, "That won't work," Skywalker was about to argue until Faiz says, "The security system of the belt will force enough electricity into your body that you could damage your ability with Force and the Kaixa gear would result in you turning to ash."

Skywalker blinks at that before asking, "Then how is Misao using it with turning to ash."

"He is on borrowed time as it is," Faiz states before saying, "We have to wait for Ben and the others."

Skywalker then comments, "His name is Obi-Wan."

"Really?" Junk Wolf asks before stating, "Then why hasn't he mentioned it."

Skywalker shakes his head before waiting ten minutes for Kenobi and a squads of clones arrived to help rescue Master Luminara. Kenobi asks, "I am surprised that you have not already entered. Where is Kaixa?"

"Down there," Faiz states while pointing at hole in the ground with the signal amplifier, "Please tell me you have all brought equipment for close quarter combat?"

Commander Cody simply says, "We brought smaller rifles but the aiming will be difficult if we end up needing longer range."

Faiz simply states, "You won't need it, and make sure you aim for the head they will shrug off everything short of dismemberment or burning them to ash." Kenobi frowns as he looks around and staring at the Geonosian head bust causes Faiz to comment, "A Geonosian Queen, probably really old if this is the same one from when this temple was first built."

Kenobi then asks, "What are we dealing with?"

"Reanimated corpses," Faiz states before drawing his sabre from Accel and adds, "Aim for the head and if you get split up from everyone ask for a random regulation that you clones follow. Ben, Skyguy if you are split apart attempt to take each others' light sabres with the Force while using your own abilities to defend against it."

Skywalker frowns before asking, "What will that prove?"

"That you don't have control of your own body," Faiz states before with his duffle bag as they climbed down with his sabre on his hip. They reach the base of the access tunnel where Faiz places another SA at the base of the first tunnel before they move forward every thirty metres he placed another device on the right wall.

Kenobi noticed, "Why are you placing these devices on the right side of the tunnels we go through?"

"Look behind us," Faiz countered as Kenobi does just that and notices the devices were now on the left side. Faiz then says, "Now we have a marked path for the escape."

Kenobi comments, "Clever," they all then paused as the heard scraping was heard causing the clones to aim their lights down the side halls where they see un-dead Geonosians crawling and stumbling their way towards the clones. Kenobi simply frowns before saying, "Surrender!" only to hear an animalistic growl that proved against them being sentient. That and the worms crawling through any orifice came strange yellow worm like creatures.

"Open fire," Faiz states before aiming at the Zombie Genosian's head with his Rider Gear blaster and pulled the trigger blasting a large hole through a zombies head before shooting another. With that inspiration, the clones started shooting the zombies and their weapons taking two or three shots for each zombie. Kenobi and Skywalker were having better success in that dismembering the zombies seemed to work better. "Move back," Faiz shouts as they started walking backwards with Faiz being the last to follow leaving SAs as he went.

Skywalker shouts, "Collapse the tunnel! Shoot out the support beams!" with that the clones followed orders and the tunnel collapsed and crushed the zombies quickly. Everyone was breathing deeply as Skywalker says, "That was way to difficult."

Kenobi says, "We need to call for re-enforcements," he activated his communicator and Mundi appeared, "Master Mundi, we require assistance, the situation appears to be a higher danger," before Mundi could reply the communicator started to malfunction. Kenobi asks, "What happened?"

Faiz checked his phone and says, "The SAs have been deactivated or destroyed. That Hive mind of theirs clearly can share what they see or hear."

Kenobi asks, "Well did Mundi hear our request."

"R3G4R did," Faiz states before placing another couple SA on the wall before saying, "I can work on getting contact back with the surface if you are worried though."

Skywalker takes the bag of Faiz and says, "Unfortunately our Light Sabres did the most damage so our best course of action is to continue on and while Ace and Lucky head back up to the surface."

Faiz simply says, "Bad plan."

"Look we need to get communications up again, we are ill equipped for this," Kenobi states.

Faiz sighs and says, "Why do you think I warned you before you got here." Skywalker and Kenobi was silent before Faiz checked his watch and says, "Come on, we have thirty minutes before Accel activates our exit window. Hopefully we will find Lady Green," with that Faiz starts moving along the tunnels, secretly following the warm tunnels towards the location with the highest temperature.

Skywalker asks, "How do you know which was to go?"

Faiz simply says, "Geonosians like it hot," Faiz states before raising a fist up getting everyone to stop as they reached a chamber where sounds of chanting could be heard. Faiz, Skywalker and Kenobi spied into the room revealing the Geonosian Queen speaking with Poggle near a bound Luminara. The moved back and Faiz says, "Found Lady Green. We need to get her out of here before they try something."

Kenobi asks, "Why keep her alive then?"

Faiz simply says, "Trojan Horse," the Jedi and Clones looked at him strangely before Faiz explained, "It is an ancient story about an army who lay siege to impenetrable Fortress City until a point where the attacking army appeared to go home only they left a large structure that appeared to be left as a tribute. Only instead it was filled with soldiers that opened the main gates of the city after the city let their guard down and fell asleep and were all slaughtered. In this case I think the Zombie Geonosians, or the parasite that is used to control their bodys' could be used in other Life forms."

"You mean sentients?" Skywalker states.

Faiz shakes his head, "No, I meant Life forms. Nothing stopping them from infecting a bird, spy in the sky."

"Then what could they cause Luminara to do?" Kenobi questioned.

"If we missed this, she could trick Barris commit treason," Faiz states before adding, "Assassinating High ranking Jedi or Senators."

Kenobi frowns before commenting, "Wonder how they intend to do it."

Faiz could only sigh as Skywalker spoke, "Well the room is really dark, probably has been for years. Everyone aims their lights at the Queen should distract or disable the Queen before we take her out."

Kenobi raised a hand before commenting, "No we need to use diplomacy."

Faiz groans and says, "Really?" and this resulted in one of the only time while they have been allied, that they agreed on something.

Kenobi states, "Geonosis has been conquered by us and she needs to surrender to Republic rule."

Skywalker sighs and says, "Meaning you want to talk to it."

"Yes," Kenobi states before adding, "Commander Cody, you and your fellow clones should surround the outer edge of the chamber. So in the event that she disagrees with what is being informed of her."

"You mean when," Faiz and Skywalker states at the same time, for different reasons. For Skywalker because she is a Seperatist and Faiz because she is an Ancient Sentient Bug. Kenobi simply nods before directing everyone with a hand gesture to follow his lead. Kenobi, Skywalker and Faiz were the first to walk out into the dark chamber to see Luminara still floating and struggling in position.

Kenobi was the first to speak, "Master Luminara, I see you are in good health."

Master Luminara sighs and says, "As good of health as can be being attacked by unstoppable Geonosians."

"Undead actually," Faiz states in an annoyed tone before saying, "Ben here wants to know why they captured you."

Master Luminara frowns before saying, "I have yet to learn why."

Faiz simply says, "They intend to turn you against the Republic. Or at least that is how I understand it after seeing the Geonosian Worm."

"Worm?" Master Luminara questioned as Poggle started speaking in his native language holding a yellow egg that burst revealing a yellow worm creature that slithered around his hand before moving to Luminara.

The Queen spoke in Basic surprising the two Jedi, "You come from above and threaten my kingdom. We are strong! WE ARE ONE!"

The worm started slithering over Luminara as Skywalker was about to make his move when Kenobi stopped him and says, "Wait, I want to see where it enters. Where do you think nose or ear?"

Skywalker sighs trying to think of an answer only for Faiz to say, "It will be the nose, it is the only cavity that a normal Geonosian has is the nostril," Faiz pinched the Bridge of his nose on the helmet.

Master Luminara simply says, "I feel that this is a bad time to mess around Kenobi!"

"When is it ever," Kenobi countered, "CODY! NOW!"

Faiz's timer hit zero as suddenly an earthquake was felt as a set of drills dug their way through the ground into the chamber only as soon as the tips pierced the chamber they opened hooking onto the roof before suddenly the roof was pulled away from the ceiling as the room was filled with direct light that seriously burned the Queen. Which was the point where Kaixa arrived with a destroyed SA in his hand while Faiz disabled the field holding Luminara and throwing her, her light sabre before the clones opened fire.

Kaixa slashed through a zombie while Kenobi captured the worm. Kenobi noticed the SA device and quickly asked, "What took you so long?"

Kaixa simply says, "It took a while to find the path Poggle took to get here, good think I removed these Transmitters. Poggle could have called for help."

Kaixa slashed another Zombie as Kenobi stated, "Actually those were place by Junk Wolf so we could call for back up."

Kaixa did and said nothing to implicate himself still thinking that he was in the right. Kenobi frowns at that as Skywalker quickly warned Kenobi and destroyed the Worm in his hand. Kenobi shouts, "Anakin, I was going to study that!"

"Already got Bio scans of the parasite! We are leaving now! The WolfBlade can only hold the roof for so long!" Faiz shouted as the Clones, Jedi, Prisoner and two Riders started climbing the side of the large hole of the roof while the Queen was violently moving her body as the sun badly burned her. The Zombies were somewhat distracted except for the minor Lucid thoughts caused some Zombies to follow those escaping.

Skywalker comments, "They are still following us!"

"Climb Faster so we can put the roof back!" Faiz's shout was met with everyone increasing their speed up the rocky wall. They managed to reach the roof though Skywalker slipped almost falling back down only for Skywalker to catch his robot wrist and pulled him back up. Faiz tapped his helmet, "DROP IT!"

With that the large boulder was dropped on the large rock on the zombies and the Queen who shouts, "I AM ETERNAL!" Sending out a pulse along the Hive Mind before she was squashed.

Skywalker was silent before admitting, "Thanks."

"Don't bother looking into it. I did not do it for you," Faiz states and walks to the WolfBlade to lean on the ship and to ignore everyone.

Kenobi pulled Skywalker to the side and looks to Kaixa and says, "Kaixa disabled Faiz's signal amplifiers in the tunnels." Poggle was arrested and taken to a transport ship that took Poggle to orbit.

Skywalker frowns and says, "That is bad. I can look into it."

Kenobi nods before saying, "I think we have been on Geonosis a bit too long."

Skywalker could only nod and say, "Yeah, I don't want to do this a third time."

Skywalker and Kenobi went to the drop ship while Junk Wolf followed in the Wolf Blade where they proceeded back to the forward Assault base. Where they intend to leave Master Mundi to clean up the planet with Yuuto, Kenobi, Skywalker, Junk Wolf and Ahsoka along with Master Luminara and Barris Offee were to escort Poggle to the Republic Supermax Prision in order to retrieve intel on the war. Only what was to happen was that the left over medical supplies were needed at a supply Medical station where they were recently filled with wounded due to a battle in the Yavin System.

Random group of Clones-Half way before

A group of clones were sleeping soundly in an evacuated section of the caves when a single clone had a parasite worm crawl into his nose as he slept only to awaken in a trance as the clone died before walking over to the stone the worm crawled from and moved the stone where a deformed Zombie holding a sack of yellow eggs that he placed into a back pack filled with worm eggs before returning to his apparent sleeping position where he would 'sleep' for several hours when he would gain a mission where he could easily spread 'his' Queen's will.

Just before Time of Departure-With Junk Wolf

Faiz packed his gear away before R4G3R would fly the ship back to the Main ship. Faiz walked over to the last set of equipment to be used in the next engagement. Faiz walked over to see Kenobi and Skywalker speaking with their superiors. Faiz stopped noticing Ahsoka, Barris and Master Luminara had arrived as well along with Kaixa. Kenobi finishes up the report and then speaks to everyone. "The Chancellor has requested that Poggle is to be escorted by Anakin, Master Luminara and Myself, along with our two riders. Ahsoka and Barris are needed to transport medical supplies to Medical Outpost two three nine. They are running low on supplies needed to save wounded clones, you will meet with Master Kit Fisto and wait until your battle groups arrive for redeployment."

Faiz then asks, "Then should I go with Ahsoka and Madam Offee?"

Barris concealed a blush with the Force while Ahsoka appeared to roll her eyes. Kenobi unfortunately answered his question, "No, the Chancellor wishes to give Junk Wolf and Masio medals for bravery on Geonosis."

Faiz appeared angry as he crossed his arms in annoyance and says, "Oh a medal why didn't you say so," the sacasm in his voice was so thick a Light sabre would bounce off it, as he walked our out the communications centre.

Skywalker frowns and says, "Why does he make that sound like a bad thing."

Kenobi shakes his head though surprisingly Ahsoka had the answer, "He hates this war. Do you really expect him to want a reward for it?" Skywalker had to agree to that.

Kaixa simply says, "Probably because he knows that he is not wanted," only to receive a glare from Ahsoka and Barris.

Master Luminara simply comments, "Perhaps we should finish our duty on this planet and depart before something terrible happens," that comment was directed at Kaixa before she leaves with Barris to ensure the supplies are transported to the correct ships of her fleet.

Kaixa decided to have the last word by saying, "I think I will go prepare my speech," Kaixa left the communication centre to get a lift to main ship in order to get started on a speech.

Ahsoka left as well as Kenobi and Skywalker are left alone to talk with Kenobi starting, "I talked with the Council, Kaixa is being reassigned to another division."

Skywalker could only sigh as he says, "I can't fault his methods only that he does not seem to know what he is doing."

"And you do?" Kenobi questioned him.

Skywalker had his arms behind his back as he says, "Master," his tone indicated he was being honest with what he was about to say, "I have years of experience flying ships, dealing with technology and my training as a Jedi. That may of not have prepared any of us for the clone wars, but in the moment I trust my instincts and as they are connected to the Force," Kenobi nods in understanding.

Kenobi then asks, "If you were in those caves and saw Junk Wolf's transmitters?"

"I would have followed them," Skywalker admits before commenting, "After giving them a brief look to make sure they weren't bombs or detectors of some kind."

Skywalker crossed his arms as Kenobi nods, knowing that Skywalker was telling the truth. Skywalker may seem to take risks, when in truth they are actually calculated so that he could find a way that it would work in his favour. Something that Ahsoka had actually been able to do with the world around her, if their first mission together proved crushing several dozen Drum droids.

Skywalker then asks, "Have you noticed Misao appears to have an unnatural hate to Junky and Junky appears to be actually being nice to him."

Kenobi frowns before mentioning, "So basically how one would act on a battlefield as allies," Skywalker could only nod in agreement. Kenobi then states, "Perhaps we should investigate."

Outside Faiz had a hologram over his left arm that was running simulations on the Geonosian Worm Parasite DNA, after doing a bio scan on the creature at the temple, though he closed it when Ahsoka walked up to him and asks, "What are you thinking?"

Faiz simply says, "Running simulations with the scans of the Geonosian Parasite."

"Why? They were all destroyed, weren't they?" Ahsoka questioned.

Faiz sighs and says, "I like to be prepared. For instance while the parasite enters a living body you would have twenty four hours to remove the parasite. But even then you would have to submit the host to a large concentration of almost freezing conditions where the host would freeze while the Parasite would attempt to find a new host."

Ahsoka blinks before asking, "Wait, and they were going to infest Master Luminara? She always volunteers for the Illum trails."

"Well, either way. Better knowing the information and never needing it instead of not knowing and finding yourself needing that information," Faiz states before the two spilt up leaving Ahsoka in deep thought.

Faiz managed a couple meters when the Doctor walked over and says, "Well it appears my work here is done. I expect that it best that I come to you for deactivation."

Faiz stopped him saying anything else with a raised hand before saying, "No can do, Ahsoka and her friend are heading to a medical facility. You should go with them," patting the Doctor's shoulder before he walked towards Kenobi and the last of Kenobi's clones not staying on the planet to fly away to the main ship.

The Doctor walked over to Ahsoka and says, "Well it appears I will be joining you to the Medical Facility."

Ahsoka calmly asks, "I did not know you were part of our orders?"

"I am not part of the command structure but I am programmed to help those in need of medical attention," The Doctor simply states his intention before saying, "Not that there is much verity in who I help these days. An army of one man in a sense, at least from a biological sense. Hello," looking to the clones that heard him. Some even muttering, 'Damn, Machines.' The Doctor appeared to not pay it any mind before commenting to Ahsoka, "Though it does stop people pretending to be fellow soldiers."

Ahsoka looked to the clones around them and after thinking on it, she had to nod in agreement, short of hair on their heads, you can always clearly recognise them either from their faces or their body shape. Ahsoka then comments, "So do you expect any excitement delivering supplies?"

"Depends on what happens?" The Doctor states before the two go to meet Barriss at the medical transport.

Barriss notices the Doctor and asks, "Who is this?"

"He is Junky's Holographic Doctor," Ahsoka introduced before commenting, "Just call him Doctor, he has yet to pick a name for himself."

The Doctor simply says, "Yes I waited too long and nothing 'felt' right in a sense," with that the three walked onto the medical transport along with the clones who had been sleeping in the cave earlier. The Doctor then comments, "Normally I am deactivated during travel, this should be an interesting experience."

Ahsoka nods in understanding as they meet with the bridge crew and head for take off and saying a brief 'see you later' to their respective masters went to their shared quarters. Only Ahsoka paused and then excused herself to head to the first Aid room to speak with the Doctor, who was going over supplies. Ahsoka asks while they were alone, "What is it that Junk Wolf has been stopping you from asking?"

The Doctor was silent before questioning her, "Have you noticed anything strange? Him suddenly calling people by a different name?" Ahsoka nodded, "That is normally the first stage of the decay over his body."

Ahsoka blinks before asking, "How long does he have?"

The Doctor was silent before stating, "Unless he can find a way to stop the affects of the Dark Sabre, he would be lucky to have a year to live," Ahsoka was shocked as she leaned on the wall near the door. Unknown to the pair Barriss had heard what was said before walking away silently.

Ahsoka simply asks, "How?"

The Doctor sighs and says, "The Enzymes that he would need to be replaced would kill him before it could restore his body. Even then, it is impossible to find in the Universe anymore."

Ahsoka asks with finality, "Where was this Enzyme found."

The Doctor was silent for a good minute as Ahsoka was not backing down, so after sighing The Doctor simply says, "Earth."

Ahsoka blinks at that before asking, "Where is Earth?"

"Long since gone," The Doctor states before focusing on his work. Ahsoka was sad as she walked away in disappointment though as she was a good distance away she had a resolute look she would find Earth if it was the last thing she would do. While the Doctor was alone he simply says, "Even though it is under everyone's noses," he could only sigh after that as what she did not know was that over time he would forget more than just people he would lose more of his mind by the day and not even know what he lost, until he needs it most.

With Junk Wolf-Republic Star Destroyer-a couple hours later

Faiz was walking through the ship refusing to admit that he was lost to any clone that asked him. It was not until Skywalker ran past him with Skywalker saying, "Come on, Ahsoka's signal went dark."

Faiz quickly followed him to the bridge of the Star Destroyer where they entered the Communications room with a simple question, "Any Idea what happened?"

Kenobi was the one to answer, "The Clone Bridge Crew of Ahsoka and Barriss' Transport have failed to contact us every thirty minutes. They missed their last one and need to contact us for assistance otherwise we will not be able to send help by the contact time next."

Faiz frowns before secretly opening his log of events and after a quick run through suddenly says, "I might have a way to contact them," Faiz states before activating a hologram control around his robotic arm, that had a blueprint of the Doctors containment vessel.

Skywalker simply comments, "What exactly are you doing?"

"Uploading a message to the Doctor, along with a remote activation routine that will activate The Doctor within thirty minutes of receiving the deactivation code," Faiz states before adding, "Meaning we won't be able to shut him down again."

Kenobi simply asks, "Will that be a problem?"

"Trust me, after this I am changing doctors," Faiz states before sending the signal. Faiz then states, "Okay he should have it," he paused before saying, "Now. He should be alerted in time to assist with the ship to get in contact with us."

Master Luminara arrived from the detention block when the ships communications activated a couple minutes late as Ahsoka's voice was heard, "Masters, we have a problem."

Skywalker asks, "What is wrong Ahsoka?" Master Luminara frowns at that.

Kenobi states, "Your crew missed the last check in. What happened?"

"Barriss and I are in the secondary communication centre. We saw a couple clones holding these weird Worm creatures. I think they are those Geonosian Parasites," Ahsoka states.

Skywalker comments, "Ahsoka you have to do whatever you can to stop that ship."

"Master, that station needs these Medical supplies and I think I know a way to stop them," Ahsoka appeared confident.

Kenobi asks, "What are you planning?"

"Junk Wolf, how accurate was those simulations?" Ahsoka questioned.

"Pretty good, though the only lifeform I scanned them for was in a Dead Geonosian body, but if the body was cold enough to fall into cryogenic sleep it should allow the Host to survive the removal," Faiz states before the signal started to fail and Faiz started saying, "DON'T SPLIT UP YOU RISK FALLING INTO A TRAP!" The signal cut out with them not sure that Faiz's message reached them. Faiz then turns to everyone and says, "Look I can get to the transport before it reaches the station."

Kenobi says, "Unfortunately at this stage it will take hours to reach that station from our position."

"But it will take me minutes," Faiz countered.

"Look why don't we interrogate Poggle to get some answers?" Skywalker questioned.

Master Luminara simply states, "We cannot, we were ordered to bring him in to interrogate," she then turned to Faiz and states, "And I am sure that you need to be in normal space to use your ship. Which unfortunately was moved to the repair bay for maintenance."

Faiz blinked under his helmet before they narrowed in time for him to ask, "Why? I am the one that does all of it and no one can access the ship."

Master Luminara states, "Misao got permission for the ship to be grounded until after the reward ceremony," Faiz crossed his arms and says, "I am going to free my ship so I can help Ahsoka," his statement was met with the cracking of knuckles.

Ahsoka's Transport-An hour Prior

Ahsoka had her eyes closed in her cabin with Barriss but sleep could not find her as she eventually sighs and says, "I can't sleep," internally worried for Junk Wolf.

Barriss opened her eyes and says, "Perhaps we could get something to eat before trying to rest again."

Ahsoka nods and the pair had to the food room walking past a couple helmetless clones patrolling the ship. Ahsoka blinks as a strange feeling hits her before she continued to walk into the Food room where she and Barriss got some food. They were eating quietly before Ahsoka suddenly asks, "So you have spent your time studying the universe in the Jedi Archives did you ever read of a planet called Earth?"

Barriss was thoughtful before stating, "No, I have never heard of the planet. Where is it?"

"I don't know. What I do know is that it is Junk Wolf's home planet," Ahsoka admits before noticing the Clones enter the ship, "Bactar, Boil, you two hungry?" she asked the two clones only they raised their weapons at the two Jedi only for Ahsoka, who was facing the two, lifted her hands and pulled the weapons out their hands and over her shoulders before pushing them into the wall behind them with the Force. Ahsoka held them against the wall and says to Barriss, "Tie them up and disarm them," Barriss did just that before Ahsoka dropped the pair. Ahsoka and Barriss drew their light sabres as two clones run straight in with weapons only to raise them.

The first clone states, "Friendlies!"

Barriss states, "How can we be sure?"

The first clone simply states, "We saw Baker, he brought a pack filled with eggs and these worm creature things entered the sleeping clones. They attacked us, took off with Dole."

Ahsoka blinks before saying, "They are telling the truth. You two guard these two, stun anyone who tries to take them other then use. Barriss we need to get to the bridge."

With that the two head for the bridge where they find the crew dead along with most of the controls turned to scrap. Fortunately the communication systems were still working. Barriss stood guard and missed the conversation between Ahsoka and their masters until six clones arrived dragging the two clones that had been left in the food room. Barriss looked to Ahsoka and says, "They are coming."

"Don't!" Faiz was cut off as Ahsoka and Barriss rushed into the air-vents to escape capture. They were quiet as below them the clones search the room before moving on.

Ahsoka led Barriss away as Barriss asks, "What did Junk Wolf say?"

Ahsoka simply says, "I am unsure, I turned the machine off before they could hear what he was saying," they crawled away before saying, "We need to find out what is going on, this way the Doctor might know what to do."

:End of Chapter 13:

OH MY!

Well this took a bit too long write what I have. So anyway I will end it here before running the risk of rushing. So until Next time... BEWARE THE WRAITH!
