Okay here's chapter 4
So Order 66 happens though Master Billaba is still alive thanks to Clone Force 99 the Jedi survive
(Hunter's POV)
I watched as we dropped out of hyperspace arriving at Kellar Tech landed away from where General Billaba was pinned down Neve walked out after me "we're less than 10 miles away from where General Billaba's pinned down" "thank you Tech" "Master Skywalker!" I watched General Billaba's padawan came running over before falling flat on his face "are you alright Caleb?" Neve asked helping him up "I'm fine" he went back to General Billaba's position as we followed closely behind though we went into our positions when I gave the signal Wrecker threw down a boulder at the droids as we skied down after it a few droids were taken out by the boulder falling off the cliff reaching the bottom and running we took out the droids looking at where Crosshair was "Crosshair let's get these tanks moving!" I ordered Neve sliced and shot droids using her lightsabers and blaster I grabbed her hand to pull her away from a blaster bolt "thank you Sergeant" "anything for you m'lady" I pulled my helmet off slightly to kiss her she shot a droid that was behind me after destroying the droids alongside the tanks we walked to where General Billaba was "if your done hiding down there I suggest you launch a counter attack another platoon of droids is heading this way" "the General is the one to give the orders" "he's right Commander this is our chance launch the counter attack" "yes General alright men move it!" I watched the regs ran towards the droids coming at us "there you are little Jedi you missed all the fun!" Wrecker spoke "watching you guys in action was the fun" "while I don't think fun would be the word to describe it I agree with my Padawan your exploits were most impressive" "exploits?" "Don't think about it to much Wrecker" "now can someone explain to me where my actual reinforcements are?" "Rerouted to the capital we're all your getting" "ha we're all you need" "my brother's coming to Kellar to help you're getting more reinforcements" Neve gave us a look I raised my hands in mock surrender she rolled her eyes at me smiling "actually the General won't be needing any of us Clone Intelligence is reporting that General Kenobi has engaged General Grievous on Utapu" "if he captures or kills Grievous the Separatist Leadership will collapse" "the war may come to an end sooner" "I have to say Knight Skywalker you have an interesting squad" Grey muttered something under his breath "any orders or shall we do what we do?" I asked Neve "let's go blow something up yeah!" Wrecker cried out "can I go will them?" "I don't know you think you can keep up with them?" "I don't see the harm in it Caleb" "you coming?" I asked Neve as the others ran off "I'll catch up with you later I need to speak with Master Billaba at the moment Hunter" "alright be safe, love you" I kissed her on the lips before pulling my helmet on following the others
(Neve's POV)
I watched as they went to blow up more droids with Caleb tagging along "I have to say Neve it seems you found yourself a place to belong a proper one and a very loving partner too" "yeah I guess I have" I talked with Master Billaba about what her plan was once the war's over when something felt wrong I held my head as a vision took place "Neve are you alright?" Master Billaba asked me having also sensed the disturbance "no something's wrong so very wrong" we both looked over to Grey who had a hologram of the Chancellor wearing a hood over his face I could feel my heart race in my chest quickly glancing over to the boys and back at the hologram "execute Order 66" my ears pulled back as my instincts flared a fight or flight response someone behind Grey fired at us I deflected it the fur on my tail bristled as Master Billaba's forces surrounded us except Grey who was ordering them to stand down Master Billaba ignited her lightsaber going into a defensive stance as they fired at us I let out a yelp of pain as a blaster bolt hit my arm forcing me to drop my lightsaber but refusing to stop defending myself and Master Billaba who got hit in the leg falling to her knees still defending herself when they all fell to the ground blaster marks on their backs Clone Force 99 came running over Hunter removed his helmet immediately checking me for any injuries "are you okay your not hurt right?" I heard him ask me looking at my arm "woah easy there I got you" I collapsed into his arms as the adrenaline left my body trying to get over the shock about what had happened "Grey what happened why were they firing at them?" Caleb asked him "I don't know kiddo" "comm chatter is repeating the same directive execute Order 66" "yeah I heard that too what's Order 66?" Wrecker asked "I am uncertain but whatever it is it's making the Regs fire at them" "let's get out of here now" we went our separate ways Master Billaba, Caleb and Grey went to Earth we went to Kamino "this is bad the Jedi are being accused of treason except for your brother Anakin General" "why though?" I questioned my horror and confusion visible on my face "I will look into it" I went into my quarters sitting on my bed Hunter came in sitting next to me I buried my head in Hunter's chest "you feeling alright?" I curled up into his arms "no I'm not I-I'm scared Hunter" "learning that you've been accused of something that you've never committed is boiling my blood" I sighed as he pulled me closer to him agreeing with him enjoying what little peace we have before arriving to Kamino "how long until we get to Kamino?" I asked "we're taking the long route back that way we can get a better understanding on what's happening" "this whole day turned into a disaster" "Neve it might be best if you went home you'll be safe in case any of us end up like the regs" "I can handle myself Hunter" "I know, get some rest we got time" I curled up into a ball resting my head on his chest despite what happened I fell asleep
(Echo's POV later)
I stood behind Tech Fives stood beside me as we dropped out of hyperspace "it's good to be back how long has it been?" Wrecker asked as Neve and Hunter entered "30 standard rotations though galactic zones changes often therefore 40 standard rotations" Tech rambled "what?" "A very long time Wrecker" I simplified it "you got that right Echo" "I've been your General for 2 and a half years and I'm still not used to Tech spilling out insane facts" I got where she was coming from "you'll get used to it eventually Fluff-ball" "what happens if one of the regs recognise her?" Crosshair asked making all of us go silent "I can always keep my hood up or wear my helmet" we left the Marauder after landing in the hanger Neve had her hood up as well as her mask standing behind Hunter carrying her helmet "Shock troopers what's the Coruscant guard doing here?" Hunter questioned just as confused as the rest of us "the end of the war" "say again trooper" "General Grievous was engaged and defeated on Utapu the war is over" "just like I said" "it is just like you said" I noticed two troopers carried a rack with a body on in covered with a cloth a hand slipped out holding a lightsaber it dropped to the floor the trooper talking to us picked it up before facing us "is there a problem?" Neve tensed up hand hovering over her blaster Hunter caught her hand "no problem, we'll just head to our barracks then" Hunter said "better hurry there's a general assembly in 018 hours" we made our way to the barracks as quickly as we could passing troopers "it's not just the regs on Kellar all the regs are acting strange" Hunter looked to Neve and mouthed "are you alright?" Neve nodded though the fear was visible in her eyes we reached the barracks "ah good to be back" "the snell's getting worse" I said "you're still new you'll get used to it" "speak for yourself" both me and Fives sat down at the cluttered table with Tech Neve sat down at the table near the window setting down her helmet having pulled down her hood and mask "well I'll get the board" we sat in silence Crosshair sat on his bunk cleaning his rifle chewing his toothpick "eleven more successful missions was there any doubt" "Kellar wasn't a win" "says who we completed our objective" "and not the new ones we were given thankfully" Crosshair said giving Neve a concerned look before talking to Hunter "what did you put down in the report?"
(Hunter's POV)
I listened to everyone talk about what happened on Kellar "what did you put down in the report?" I looked over to Crosshair "I lied that order was wrong Crosshair" "it may have been an order to the regs but not us ack!" "Crosshair are you okay?" Wrecker asked as Neve walked over to check on him "I'm okay just tripped" "none of this makes any sense those clones have served alongside General Billaba for years how can they turn on her just like that?" I held Neve's hand while hugging her in my arms "because of the regs programming" Tech piped up from where he was sitting "what programming?" I asked voice low "the Kaminoans are known to modify the behaviour of clones" "well how come me and Fives didn't flip out like the others" "since you've been held captive by the Techno Union that time it erased all the pre set programming though I'm uncertain why Fives didn't do the same is beyond me" "lucky us I guess" "since we are genetically modified clones my guess is that we are immune to the effects of the program though I am uncertain" "this reminds me of what happened during the HYDRA incident" "what happened during that?" "Well I was with Steve and Nat during a mission to take down a terrorist but with a few agents some of them were HYDRA members and we had no idea at that time well Director Fury had his suspicions he asked that terrorist to steal SHIELD information for Nat to take back" "what else happened?" I asked "well Director Fury got attacked by the Winter Soldier but he managed to escape to Cap's home I followed as a raven he explained somethings to me and Cap though he faked his death after that I did some digging at a secluded SHIELD safe house I found HYDRA imbedded within SHIELD I was about to tell Cap by calling when the Winter Soldier attacked me I escaped by blowing up the safe house after gathering anything of importance I reached the hospital where Cap and Nat were" she went on about what happened "turned out the Winter Soldier was Steve's best friend" "what was his name?" Tech asked "Bucky Barns HYDRA found him after he fell from the train during the Second World War turned him into the Winter Soldier" she then explained what happened after being taken captive by HYDRA and how Hill helped them "and with a virus we took down the new Helicarriers as well as HYDRA" she finished explaining when the assembly was announced "come on this is one meeting I don't wanna miss" "first for everything I guess" Neve pulled the hood and mask up we stood in the assembly hall as Palpatine gave his speech something well someone caught my attention a young girl was staring at us well more accurately me and Neve who also noticed her "what is it?" Tech asked getting my attention I looked back eyes widening slightly seeing that the girl disappeared "nothing" "and the Republic will be reorganised into the first Galactic Empire" "Galactic Empire?" I heard Echo repeat "for a safe and secure society" the hall erupted into cheers we left walking to the mess hall "I don't like this" "me too" "Galactic Empire we're soldiers of the Republic" "Republic, Empire what's the difference though?" Crosshair asked "the systematic wide execution of the Jedi is a big one for me Crosshair" "Tech, Crosshair our General is one of those accused Jedi" Fives spoke making the two fall silent in shame I stopped walking making Neve bump into me "sorry" I apologised to her before addressing everyone "lads and my lady we've got company" we turned around to see the kid the one that both me and Neve saw during the assembly "what's that?" Wrecker asked "adolescent human female origins uncertain" "my name's Omega I was wondering when you guys show up" "you've heard of us?" "Echo, Fives, Tech, Wrecker, Crosshair, Hunter and your General Neve your Clone Force 99" luckily no regs were nearby thankfully much to all our relief "what are you doing on Kamino kid?" I asked crouching to be eye level with her "her job of course" Nala Se said as she walked over I stood up straight "I am relieved to see you are unharmed Master Skywalker" "thank you Nala Se I wish it was under better circumstances" "Omega is my medical assistant her curious mind often tends to let her wander as you can see come now Omega there is work to be done" I watched the two leave "this day keeps getting weirder" I spoke the others silently agreed before we walked to the mess hall after giving Tech a small look "not only that, she's strong in the Force I could feel it"
(Lame Su's POV)
I sat in my chair as Admiral TarKin entered with news regarding the newly formed Galactic Empire with my assistant Tawn We who stood beside me he delivered surprising news "Admiral TarKin this news is most surprising Chancellor Palpatine has always supported our cloning advancements in the past" "Emperor Palpatine's priorities have changed" "our contract states the continued production of clone troopers" "your contract was with Republic which no longer exists" my eyes narrowed slightly "with the Jedi all but spread thin the need for future clones is being questioned" "Admiral TarKin I must protest surely you realise the precarious state this newly found Empire is in more clones will be needed to keep the peace" "that can be solved by gaining recruited soldiers" "the skill level and proficiency of our Clones is higher then any recruited body" "I shall be the judge of that" he stood to his feet before speaking again "though there is something to note I received a report of a Jedi here on Kamino I shall investigate further" he left passing by Nala Se as the door shut I got to my feet "warn Mistress Skywalker to TarKin's presence here" "yes Prime Minister" Tawn We left to deliver the news to Knight Skywalker "we must contact Count Dooku for this matter" Nala Se and I walked to the private communication centre we entered the room as the lights dimmed as Count Dooku's image appeared "I have been expecting and awaiting this transmission" "the Empire has arrived to Tepoca City with Knight Neve Skywalker here" "I see begin preparations to evacuate once the Empire decides your usefulness is over they will turn on you" "understood Count Dooku" the transmission ended "prepare evacuation notices have the equipment and assists moved to the Neptune Station in Sol System territory" "of course Prime Minister"
(Meanwhile on Earth)
(Notch's POV)
I sat sat on my throne after returning home to scared and terrified younglings worried Jedi knights and masters "Anakin have you reached Neve?" I asked worry for our sister ever present on my face "even if I could Notch she's probably on radio silence plus she could be gathering information on why more than half of the GAR are brainwashed" "possibly" I stood on the balcony watching my people "your highness what happens if the Empire attacks us?" Amy asked "war Amy war, a war is coming Amy we must be ready to fight" she understood as more guards patrolled the outskirts of the kingdom "send word to every world leader prep our armies for a possible war" "of course King Notch" I was left alone with my thoughts I looked to the starlit sky "mother, father what would you do in a situation like this" I spoke to the ever beautiful night sky wondering what to do "sir Agent Fowler is here" "thank you Amy" I walked to greet my friend who had a group of Cybertronians with him "Notch this is Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots and this is Megatron leader of the Decepticons their also your" "I know William uncle Galvatron told us" I faced them "what is it that you want to discuss?" I asked "peace and to ask for permission to live here" "uncles you are family your more than welcome to stay" I let them get settled within the castle as I talked with Agent Fowler
(Back on Kamino)
(Hunter's POV)
I grabbed myself some food while listening to some regs talk "did you hear an Imperial officer is here to evaluate us plus there's a rumour that a Jedi is here on Kamino and that the officer will be investigating the rumour" "really but wasn't it revealed that a rogue Jedi was responsible for attacking the Emperor why blame all of them?" I listened before walking over to join my squad at our usual table "clones being programmed nothing controls me" "I'm merely stating a scientific fact our deviant nature has nullified the effects" "oh well I got a fact for you I like to blow things up because I LIKE TO BLOW THINGS UP!" I saw Fives and Echo flinch Neve hid her face in her hand as all the regs looked over "got it" "I'm convinced he's fine" I sat down next to Tech and Neve "an Imperial Officer is here to evaluate the clones everybody's talking about it" I didn't want to tell them about the rumour going around about a Jedi here especially Neve "I am not letting anyone from the Empire harm her not after they tried to kill her" I said to myself in a vow "what kind of evaluation?" Echo asked "hopefully not mental clearly we wouldn't pass that" we sat in silence when the kid from earlier sat down with us "hello again" we looked at her "Omega from earlier" "yeah kid we remember don't you have someplace to be?" "No I'll stay" "you want to sit with us? That's never happened before" "wow" "I like you, you guys don't really fit in ether" "alright kid what are you really doing here on Kamino? Don't you have family somewhere? Parents?" "Parents?" "I never mind" I looked to some regs passing our table "hey check it out the defect squad's got themselves a new recruit hehe another member added to the sad batch" I rested my hand on Neve's squeezing it gently seeing her tense up reassuring her everything's fine she relaxed when "what the? Who threw that?" "I did now apologise to my friends" "I like this kid" "what did you say to me?" The reg who was about to hurt the kid was thrown back into the two behind him "Oi reg why don't you pick on someone your own size like me" Neve had stood up having spoken in front of Omega hood and mask off being the one to have pushed him tail lashing claws drawn ready to fight "she's had enough of hiding" I said to myself grinning up at her immensely proud of her before baring my teeth slightly at the reg "so keep walking Reg or else" she growled "Neve my love a bit aggressive there" "oh I know Hunter I'm just waiting for this du'kat to go before I end up wiping the floor with him" she said cracking her knuckles for emphasis I got to my feet to bring her back to sit down "Neve I love you but please don't I don't want you getting hurt" I said while knowing she'll destroy the reg in seconds should I let her before the Reg opened his mouth "why you little bitch s-.." he raised his fist to punch her I immediately stood in front of Neve "woah woah woah back off I suggest you keep moving and you stay away from both the kid and my girl" I stood in front of the reg eyes narrowed in a glare stopping him from getting to the girls and making sure to keep him away from my girlfriend growling the last part out Wrecker got up from his seat towering behind Omega and Neve who glared at the reg I saw fear flash in his eyes when he looked at me before composing himself quickly "like my lovely girlfriend said keep walking Reg" I said gesturing to Neve making her blush and smile at me "hmph know your place lab scrubber your lucky the Jedi protected you but she won't protect you forever and she'll hit the ground soon enough just you wait you defective freak" "he did not just threaten her" I felt my anger and rage bubbling up he walked off ignoring the audial growl from me "Hunter calm down I'm okay" I heard Neve whisper to me "I know and I'm glad you're okay" I whispered in response "also what did that asshole call you?" I wrapped my arm around her "even though I'm protective of her she's just as protective of me, gods I love this feisty woman" I said to myself internally when a tray hit him I turned to face Wrecker who had gathered up more trays "oops" he faked apologised tossing them in his hand "grr that's it!" "Aww yeah!" Wrecker threw the trays at the reg as a fight broke out I punched the reg who insulted and threatened my girlfriend hard enough to break his nose dodging a swipe from another one "not again" Wrecker jumped onto three regs the others quickly joined in "you know what fuck it!" Neve let out a yell pouncing onto a reg punching him before throwing him into the reg in front of me "thanks love" "your welcome" she kissed me before grabbing a tray and whacking a few regs with it I wrestled with a reg before knocking him to the ground going to help Neve "you alright?" I asked her "I'm fine thanks for the save" "Echo watch out!" Tech yelled Echo got knocked out by a reg "I'm putting a stop to this" Neve turned into her dragon form roaring stopping the fight the regs froze at the seer ferocity from her roar alone she changed back to her human form as we brought Echo to the medical bay for him to recover not before Neve slammed the Reg that called me names face onto a table hard enough to fracture his skull scaring the remaining regs greatly making me wince at the show of pure brutality and fury "remind me not to piss you off" I said she kissed my cheek in apology "I won't do that to you Hunter" "I know you won't love but you are scary when you want to be" she grabbed my shoulder pulling me to face her kissing my lips
(Neve's POV)
I stood next to Hunter as we waited for Echo to wake up when he did he nearly had a panic attack "Echo it's okay your safe" Fives said a medical droid spoke to the boys after speaking to Echo telling them what they all already knew I mentally facepalmed "jeez as if didn't we already know that already" I said sarcastically tail swaying behind me sassily making Hunter sweetly smile at me "we've got a problem" "hardly we're more troublesome as we are deviated" "not that Admiral TarKin's here" we all faced him as he continued "he's the one who's evaluating the clones" "the same TarKin from the Citadel rescue before you how do I put this lightly" "blew up" "and turned into that" "yes the very same and he's not a big supporter of Clones" "not only that he saw me" "we'll deal with this later we've been summoned by the Prime Minister" "he didn't find that fight in the mess hall amusing I sure did and those regs deserved it for threatening our future sister-in-law" Wrecker spoke with Crosshair nodding making me blush at the wording "guys!" Hunter scolded them both while Omega watched in confusion we started leaving the medical bay with the others "wait!" Omega cried out walking in front of us "you guys wait outside" Hunter told them as we both spoke to Omega "I'm coming too the hall fight was my fault as well it's also my fault you're in trouble" "Omega that wasn't your fault you were doing what you thought was right but the next time it happens leave it be" "but I" Hunter spoke up talking to her "listen carefully kid our squad's nothing but trouble it's best to keep your distance from us for your safety and your sake" we left the medical bay going to the Prime Minister's chambers "you didn't have to be that harsh to her Hunter" "it's for her safety love you know we're trouble" I gave him a look as he faced me going to say something else "uh-huh trouble and yet I'm here with you" I said retaining the look I was giving him while smirking at him he sighed in defeat knowing he can't win "alright you win" when "where do you think your going the training facility that way" we looked at the trooper in mild confusion "training facility?" Hunter questioned "Admiral TarKin wants to see more of your squad in action" the Shock trooper said "so we're not being reprimanded" "no you're being tested" "so we're not in trouble and he wants us to fight more oh maybe this won't be all bad" we went to the training facility when the trooper grabbed me by the arm "hey!" I swiped my arm out of his grip as the boys looked over "Clone Force 99 are the ones being evaluated that excludes you General Skywalker you will watch with Admiral TarKin" I sensed the squad's discomfort and concern as well as Hunter's anger and worry looking at them seeing them mostly Hunter ready to throw hands in case something happens to me I gestured for them all to calm down before looking at the trooper that grabbed my arm giving my counter point "I'd rather fight with them I stay with my squad" "very well I will tell Admiral TarKin of your choice" he walked off we all let out a relieved sigh "I think my heart leapt up into my throat" I muttered "Neve why would you risk doing this?" Hunter asked me worried about me "I meant what I said Hunter I stay with you guys always had always will" "right let's gear up still got your katanas?" "I do yeah and my lightsabers" "keep them on you just in case something goes wrong and you're really gonna need to get your helmet" I giggled at what Hunter had said before he helped me fix my hair in a low ponytail to keep out of my face while fighting in the training facility
(Hunter's POV)
I stood on the platform with my squad and Neve who finished readying herself for this we all heard TarKin's voice over the loud speaker "the value of all clone troopers is being challenged by the Empire, to demonstrate your effectiveness a combat efficiency test is in order, take your positions" "we've done these a thousand times boys you know what to do, Neve stay close to me" I put my helmet on as Neve pulled her mask up then put her own helmet on before grabbing her blaster "got it" she said as we got into our positions as the test began "Crosshair take the towers" I ordered "copy that" he went off to the towers taking them out before dealing with the droids "move in!" I signalled to Wrecker and Tech who went in first "I'll cover you both" I said as me, Neve and Echo went in next blasting droids down ducking for cover Wrecker ran in yelling and destroying droids "oh my gosh" I heard Neve mutter to herself as the last droid fell down "THAT ALL YOU GOT GIVE ME MORE!" Wrecker yelled walking back to us before a different droid rose up making Wrecker turn around "oh this'll be fun" "wait Wrecker don't!" Neve yelled as he got shot "they're using live rounds" I said we went on the other side of the barrier we were hiding behind "what's the plan?" Neve asked letting out a surprise yelp as a blaster soared above her head "TarKin's testing us then let's give him a show" I lifted my helmet up over my face whistling to Wrecker and Tech giving them a hand signal "remember what we did back on Felucia?" I asked Neve she pulled her own helmet up confused "I remember yeah" "no point in using simple tactics we do things are way" she grinned grabbing the hilts of her lightsabers throwing one up and catching it with her hand pulling her helmet back down before lunging herself at a droid igniting her lightsabers slicing them down while deflecting bolts back at them "that's my girl!" I cheered her on before helping her Tech took control of one of the droids using it to blast the others I grabbed my knife slicing off the arms of one droid before taking one out with Neve "like what we did back then right?" I asked "yeah without the Empire mind you" I threw my knife at the last remaining droid in the arm ducking behind cover as it fired at me Neve got hit in the arm while taking cover "Crosshair we need more cover fire" "Wrecker knife!" Wrecker threw his up into the air letting Crosshair deliver the finishing blow "woah" Wrecker breathed as the simulation finished "everyone alright?" Neve asked "alive and fictional" "what about you are you okay?" "I'm fine it's just a graze guys, I'm tougher than I look"
(Nala Se's POV)
I stood next to Lama Su Omega stood next to me as Governor TarKin inspected the growing embryo of a future Clone Trooper "fascinating aren't they?" I asked "That remains to be seen" Governor TarKin faced us "tell me more about Clone Force 99" "they are medically defective clones whose cellular mutations enhance traits desirable in a soldier" I explained to him before seeing the way he looked at Omega "she is Knight Skywalker and CT-9901's offspring it would be best to tell them before something happened to her" I thought to myself before continuing what I was saying to Governor TarKin without revealing their inhibitor chips are non active "they didn't have a permanent Jedi commander until the Jedi Council enlisted Jedi Knight Neve Skywalker to them for she has been seen as capable in leading them" I added "they could be assets to your new Empire" Lama Su claimed though the statement was false given how much they respect and care about their Jedi "perhaps though from what I've seen so far is that they have an undying loyalty to her and as long as she's not working for the Empire then they won't ether" "I must ask why has Emperor Palpatine infatuated himself with Knight Skywalker?" Lama Su asked "Neve Skywalker might be a Jedi but she is also the princess of the royal family linked to Mandalore the Emperor has chosen her to be his consort" he spoke before adding "however a pressing matter is present she and Clone Force 99's Sergeant are in a intimacy relationship" "you better not ruin their healthy and blossoming relationship" a unprofessional thought ran through my mind as TarKin left after I told him on how many enhanced clones remained "when can I finally tell my parents Nala-Se?" I looked at Omega a rare smile forming on my face "soon Omega but for now we keep that to ourselves" "Knight Skywalker's curiosity is present in young Omega it'll only be a matter of time before TarKin discovers her parentage" "Knight Skywalker showed suspicion when we requested a sample of her DNA so did CT-9901"
(Fives's POV)
I stood next to Echo after entering the barracks Crosshair stood opposite us both "live rounds they used live rounds on us!" Wrecker yelled slamming his helmet down on the table "we were there Wrecker we know" "who does that Imperial snake think he is!?" "Wrecker calm down you got shot we get shot all the time" Hunter stood near the door with Neve holding his knife in his hand "there's a fundamental difference between getting shot in battle and being used for target practice" "exactly we aren't dummy droids" "that much we agree on" we looked to the door to see TarKin we all stood at attention except for Neve who had crossed her arms over her chest "that was quite a impressive display today" "we had no choice sir" "the Empire's methods may seem unorthodox but so is this squad both certainly have their merries Nala Se speaks highly of her five enhanced clones she says your more capable than an army alongside your Jedi companion" "you have a mission for us?" "indeed we have tracked a couple of insurgents to the Orderon system" "what kind of insurgents?" "Separatist forces intent on keeping the Galaxy at war if you complete this mission you will serve the Empire as well as prove the usefulness of Clones and your General will be spared of her fate of execution" he left the barracks "he's laying about the insurgents being Separatists I could see it" Neve spoke her tail flicked we headed to the Marauder Wrecker and Crosshair went to the armoury to get supplies Hunter was talking to Omega who had came running over to talk to Hunter after talking to him he came over "what did the kid want?" Crosshair asked "I don't know something about TarKin disliking us something about her seems I don't know" "well kids are not your area of expertise maybe General Skywalker's expertise" "well it might become his area of expertise in the near future if you get what I'm saying" Neve's face turned a bright shade of red so did Hunter's "FIVES!" I ran inside laughing at their response
(Later on Alderuan)
(Neve's POV)
I walked alongside Hunter as we moved through the jungle we climbed to a vantage point "there are civilians and children down there" Crosshair reported "TarKin's been laying" "I told you so" "Neve you were right something's not right" "Hunter what is it?" I asked when something made my ears flick up alert to whatever is moving "we're not alone" "stand down now" we surrendered after being surrounded we walked into the camp "they're not Separatists or insurgents they're Republic fighters" Echo spoke "why would TarKin send us to attack our own forces?" Saw Gurera walked over to us "because we refuse to fight for an Empire" "your Saw Gurera trained by General Skywalker, Commander Skywalker and Captain Rex to fight for the Republic" Tech said "so the newly established Empire sent you to kill us?" "We're here to neutralise a group of insurgents" "well here we are what are you going to do strike us down like you did the Jedi?" "Saw TarKin lied to them if they were why would I be here with them?" I spoke walking forward Saw's face went from serious to relieved "that is all we need to hear my friend" when a prob droid was dropped at our feet and a certain someone my age fell from the trees covered with leaves "this was following them the Empire sent it" "Anakin!" "Sis your alive!" I hugged my brother "thank the Force you're okay" "why wouldn't I be? Is Ahsoka okay!?" "Ahsoka's fine sis, shaken but she's okay" Saw continued talking to the boys leaving me to talk with my brother in the trees telling him about what happened while on Kamino "wow way more interesting than me our siblings have been worried about you" "I know when you go back tell them I've been on radio silence" "why can't you come back with me?" "well first of all there's this kid on Kamino that we're going back for, Anakin she's Force Sensitive just like us, then I'll hopefully convince them to come to Earth" "well Hunter won't need convincing if anything he'll be trying to get you to come with me" "that is true so anyway anything interesting happened while I was on Kamino?" "Yeah our two other uncles have made peace and are living with us" I dropped down from the trees with my brother saying our goodbyes for now when the camp left I looked over to Hunter he was staring at the droid "Hunter?" I softly asked he looked over to me "the kid was trying to warn me, we're going back to get her" he made the decision to get Omega out of Kamino "we can't leave her there not when she's in danger herself" we returned to Kamino landing outside the hanger getting off the ship walking through the eerily quiet hanger my ears pinned behind my head on high alert "it's so quiet" "yep" "too quiet for my liking I just got a bad feeling about this" I said voicing my concern Hunter looked over to me just as tense "your not the only one Neve" I moved to stand next to Hunter as we walked further into the hanger when Shock Troopers surrounded us I let out a hiss fur bristled as everyone went defensive Hunter unsheathed his knife slightly as I raised my fists up "well didn't see that coming" Crosshair commented as I slapped him "I must say I'm disappointed Sergeant" we looked to TarKin "there were complications" Hunter said sheathing his knife "conspiring with Saw Gurera" "you lied to make them kill innocent civilians who didn't want to work for the Empire" I semi yelled glaring at him anger brewing "I hope you all know the punishment for treason" "treason!?" Hunter questioned before getting pissed "like Neve said you wanted us to do your dirty work we will never harm people we have served and worked with" he said pulling me behind him protectively "take them to the brig I'll decide what to do with them" we all were thrown in a cell stripped of our gear and weapons I put my middle finger at them in retaliation as the guards left everyone mentally questioned what to do now "smells weird" "that's because it's clean" I sensed Omega's presence in the cell with us looking around before seeing Omega who waved at me "well at least we got one half of the plan down" I spoke motioning to Omega with a bright smile as the boys looked over "I told you not to come back" "had to come back we don't leave one of our own behind, unless you want to stay here" "no I want to come with you" "welcome to the squad kid" I whispered making her look at me with her own smile we sat down on the benches in the cell silently debating what to do when one of the guards walked over as the cell door deactivated "CT-9901 you're coming with us" the boys stood behind Hunter "oh no we stay together" I glared at them as my hair slowly transitioned into flames eyes glowing as my tail bristled defensively "we'll come back for him later after she's dealt with by TarKin" they left us alone to report to TarKin we all sat back down once again figuring out how to get out of the cell "come on Neve think, all that training ain't for nothing" I came out of my thoughts to see Omega copying Hunter making me giggle at the sight before going back to thinking banging my knuckles creating a rhythm hearing Omega copying the same thing I was doing "I got nothing, Fives?" I asked "nope got nothing in my brain" "anyone got any ideas I'm all ears" I asked around the squad "nope" "got nothing" "I got it these were originally barracks since they converted it into cells to hold people they didn't count for someone like Wrecker or Neve" Tech explained "you mean I can punch our way out of here?" Wrecker asked excited "that but since Neve is here she can open the cell door" "oh yeah" Fives said "well it's better than blasting our way out" I said outstretching my hand eyes closed using the Force deactivating the cell door "well that's a more quieter way out" "let's go before the guards come back" "too late" I jumped onto one of the guards as Wrecker and Echo dealt with the other two guards wrapping my leg around his neck before twisting around knocking him unconscious "what the kriff was that?" Hunter asked "oh that so my SHIELD and military training kicked in" "if you did that to me during one of our sparring matches I would be unconscious" "uh no you wouldn't you would just lie there and I don't know relish in it" I said giving him a smirk "what no I wouldn't, okay maybe a little" "pfft I can imagine him getting strangled by Neve's thighs" Crosshair chuckled "you'd be surprised on many people I knocked unconscious just by using my hands" I said walking out of the cell room with everyone else making our way through Tepoca city's desolate and very empty halls not helping the growing unease and anxiety in my mind reaching the hanger without much trouble "alright boys gear up" I heard Hunter say finding my armour next to his slipping it back on stretching my wings out to their full length giving them a flap blowing dust of some crates before folding them up "nice to see you're using the wing guards to protect your wings" Hunter spoke gently brushing the outside of my wings "you can pet them later love" I said claiming onto the Marauder with Omega we left Tepoca City and Kamino I watched Omega walk into the ship's cockpit
(Hunter's POV)
I felt Neve tap me on the shoulder making me look at her as she gesturing to Omega who walked into the cockpit I followed her in with Neve Omega was looking at the controls of the Marauder "first time in space?" I asked "first time any where" Omega responded "she's been on Kamino for most of her life Hunter" "I know love but we're changing that" I kissed Neve on the lips as the others walked into the ship's cockpit "where to?" Tech asked "well I was thinking that we could go off on our own but with the Empire after Neve we need to lay low" "what about your friends could any of them help us?" Omega asked "that would be a very short list" "I can think of one, Tech set course for Gia-19" I said "Gia-19?" Echo questioned as he and Fives looked at me confused though Neve seemed to recognise the system "we know someone strap in kid you wouldn't want to miss this" I said wrapping an arm around Neve as Omega sat in the co-pilot seat looking through the window wide eyes as we entered hyperspace
Okay here's chapter 4
This chapter took me a few hours to get done sorry if it's long.
Omega does know she's related to Neve and Hunter but she doesn't know of her powers inherited from her mother.
