Bond Beyond Break

Chapter 2: Mystery Weapon Attacks

Orla's Lightsabers Above

Orla's POV

We had tracked the ship finally to the Abrogato system. One of our clone officers, the clone commander (I am a Jedi commander), Wolffe, approaches me and my master. "The enemy's ship has reduced its speed, General. Commander." Seems they finally caught on.

"It seems they realized we are tracking them," Master Plo states my thoughts. Their dark dread knot it a stark contrast to the bright red (practically glowing) planet behind them.

"Seems those stick tinnies might be planning something, and from the record, I'm not sure I like it Master. You think our three cruisers will be enough?"

Wolffe glances at me, "The fleet is holding its position sirs."

"I think it wise to report our position before we attack." He sounds so calm. I mean, he is a calm Kel Dor but still... The three of us turn and walk back to the big holoprojector table.

As we approach it, Wolffe tells us that Skywalker's fleet is the closest, in the Bith System. Plo replys with, "Good perhaps he can reinforce us." While that is true, I doubt the council is up for it. But the council isn't always right, even my master knows that.

"From what I hear, Skywalker's always ready for a fight."

"I have heard that as well Master. Sometimes, that's a good thing." I stroll up next to him as we finally are right in front of the big holoprojector table. As I am typing in the frequency to contact them, I hear my Master say something along the lines of 'so I've heard.' heh. Likely true then.

When I finish, the transmission shows the infamous Anakin Skywalker, as well as a friend of mine who is basically a younger sister, the togruta Ahsoka Tano, and what surprises me is that my sister is standing with them. Soka, bright as ever greats us with a Kel Dor greeting, "Ko Too Ya Master Plo! Ko Too Ya Orla!" She sounded peppy and happy to see us again, which I would be lying if I said the feelings weren't reciprocated.

"Ko Too Ya Little 'Soka," Master Plo responds. 

"Ko Too Ya to you too Soka! Hello Freya" I say with a smile.

"Greetings Master Plo, Orla." Freya replies with a small smile.

"How goes the hunt for the mystery weapon?" Anakin Skywalker asks. I can't entirely tell what he would look like or sound like in person from this though. I can tell that he is tall though.

"We finally tracked it to the Abrogato system." I say. I was quite happy at the fact that we had finally caught the stupid dread knot. Rumor has it Grievous is on the bridge...

Master Koon follows with my statement by relaying our request, "we need reinforcements."

"I'll have to ask the council, Master Plo" Anakin replies. 

"The council made our orders crystal clear. We must protect our staging area," Freya added, with a look of some form of guilt.

Just as master pro is about to respond, the hologram starts flickering like static. I look over at Wolffe, "what's wrong with the transmission?"

"There's too much interference. We've lost 'em." That's never good...

We all turn our heads as another clone speaks up, "The enemy ship is closing!"

"Prepare for battle!" Plo looks at me and then to Wolffe. He feels uneven through the force, but his face doesn't show it. Not that it could... We all are trying to figure out the best way to proceed and not end up like the others that have faced this stupid ship. I want to see Ahsoka again. I want to continue as a Jedi. I want to still spend time with my master. I need to see my sister again.
