Chapter 33

Commander Fox smiled to himself, he was on the bridge of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. At his feet were Omega, the jedi youngling and a young girl who wore a very familiar t-shirt with the wolfpack symbol on it. Fox watched as Havok typed into a nearby system putting Fox’s plan into action. Comet and Sinker remained sitting behind the three children with unreadable expressions on. 

“So, tell me. Who are you?” Fox asked, gripping Shadow’s chin harshly. The young girl remained silent, having learnt a trick or two from her father. Commander Wolffe made sure she would be prepared for anything even if he didn’t like the young generation fighting in the war, he and Howzer made sure Shadow knew how to defend herself. Fox looked at her with a raised eyebrow when the young teenager didn’t move a muscle. He went to advance forward when something caught his eye. “Omega. What is that around your neck?” Fox asked, not expecting an answer, he went to snatch the necklace and take it from her neck when he soon found his hand burnt. “What the hell!” Fox shouted out alerting Havok to him, who rushed over in concern. “What is it?” Havok asked, grabbing Fox’s hand and administering first aid without thinking, Fox smiled at him before a gasp left his mouth. A shield of some sort had surrounded the three younglings and two wolfpack members. The two clones looked at each other in confusion until Havok smiled when the console blinked to life. 

“It is done. Fox. We have five minutes before this place crashes into a nearby planet or more in particular, Crait. They will be screwed” Havok smiled looking at Fox who nodded in contentment. “No!” Omega cried out when Fox reached in and grabbed her despite it burning his arm, he pulled her from the field. Sooner did she leave, the field turned purple and it shattered. However, this had given time for Comet and Sinker to gather their strength, they nodded at the younglings who seemed to get the message. No sooner did they go with their plan did the bad batch appear with weapons trained on both Havok and Fox. 

“Let them go!” Hunter commanded, looking at his daughter and son who wore worried expressions. “I don’t think so. Sergeant. You move. I kill her” Fox smirked, replacing his helmet and keeping his gun trained against Omega’s head. Wrecker frowned from beside Tech while the twins remained on Hunter’s other side. All of them had their weapons trained on Fox and Havok. The latter had grabbed Shadow and held her against him. Cal frowned, inching towards Comet and Sinker, who put their bodies in front of Cal at any chance they got. 

“Weapons down Sargeant unless you would like Omega’s brains splattered everywhere” Fox mocked, taking a glance at the countdown showing four minutes and counting. “You know I would love to stay and chat but…..” Fox was cut off by the intercom turning on, “Commander Fox and Havok. See if you recognise this scream….” It cut off for a few minutes before a familiar voice that Havok recognised almost made him shout out in anger, “No stay away! From me! You Empire Scum! Havok!!! NO!!!!” a terrified voice of a female echoed across the intercom with fear all over her tone. Havok was pissed off, Fox could see it and it showed when Shadow managed to slip from his grasp and hide behind Comet who made sure she remained behind him. 

The bad batch wore different facial expressions underneath their helmets. They knew it was Crosshairs voice over the intercom but it took them a while to register the cold dark tone of their sniper. “CROSSHAIR! SHOW YOURSELF!!” Havok angrily yelled while keeping his focus on the bad batch who remained on edge while Omega was still held in Fox’s grasp. “Tut Tut! Seems like I finally got under your skin Havok. Now tell me, do you recognise this….” the cold dark tone spoke again over the intercom. “No! I swear it wasn’t me. Tarkin I can confirm it was CT-9904 who broke the law, he also lied to you. He has children hidden in the underwater labs of Kamino. We are currently there. He had arranged for CT-5555 to be released and I believe there's a spy within the walls of the Imperial Army, it seems he is not alone. I have the location of possible coordinates of the prince of blaze. No sir. I understand. Yes, CT-9904 seems to be back with CT-9901. No sir. Yes sir. He is vulnerable. Yes sir. I will. He will be an easy catch. Yes sir. Not a problem. It will be done. He will be with you soon enough. I understand. Tell Rampart he will have his toy back soon. Thank you Sir. Havok out”.
