Arc lowered his weapon and motioned for everyone else to do the same. Everyone seemed confused but followed his lead. As Arc turned to look back at the king he pushed a button on his comlink.

"I'm sorry your majesty." Arc said.

"For what?" Zeroh asked.

"For what comes next." Arc replied.

Arc turned knowing he needed a few more minutes.

"What will happen to the king and his guards?" Arc demanded.

"They will be publicly executed to show we don't not tolerate rebellions." The tactical droid explained.

"And who do we have the honor of being beat by?" Arc asked.

"By TX-22." TX-22 replied.

At that a moment a shuttle appeared over head.

*Jetter's POV*
Jetter comlink began to beep an Arc's voice came through.

"What's gonna happen to the king and guards?" Arc asked.

"They'll be publicly executed to show we don't deal with traitors." A droid replied.

Jetter began to get the ship ready for take off. Jetter's hands flew over the controls. Jetter could have easily done this in his sleep.

"TX-22." TX-22 said.

A tactical droid was here? Jetter began to wonder what else was on this planet that he wasn't aware of. Jetter got the ship ready and began to lift of from the ground. The ship continued to rise in the air and once it was above the trees Jetter gunned it towards the castle.

Smoke rose from a certain area and Jetter figured that's where the captain was. He flew a little higher and got a better angle of the area.

Arc and the rest of the squad were between a group of droids and guards. Jetter wasn't sure who's side the guards were on but he knew what side the droids were on and he angled the ship down towards the droids. Once Jetter scopes had lined up with the droid lines he fired.

*Arc's POV*
Arc heard the sound of a ship firing and had a smile formed under his helmet. Right where a group of B1s stood there was now a crater and scattered droid parts. A few more shots came down and the droids began to realize what was going on. At that moment Jackson had already ushered the king behind the hut and had the guards firing at the droids. The clones began to as well as they backed away. TX-22 had disappeared and Arc was hoping he had been destroyed in a blast.

The droids began to advance and push their way towards the king. Jetter was still doing strafing runs but had no where to land to pick them up. Arc backed up behind the hut with the king to talk.

"Your majesty, we have no way out of here. Our ship can't land and the droids will keep coming till they kill or capture us." Arc explained.

"What would you have us do?" Zeroh asked.

"We need to get out of here and the only way right now is to blow a hole out." Arc replied.

"You want to destroy part of my castle?" Zeroh demanded.

"It's the only way out your majesty." Arc said.

At that moment a b2 launcher has streaked over the group and hit a wall behind them and a huge crack formed from the explosion. Arc knew the king wasn't gonna like what he was gonna do but he knew he had to. Arc opened a comlink channel with Jetter as he eyed the damaged wall.
