Time passed since the Inhibitor Chip Conspiracy and Fives's death. Alex returned to active duty. But, she never forgave Commander Fox for killed Fives; nor Nala Se for drugging Fives. Jay shoulder's his sister's pain and wished he could turn back time and prevent his death. But, as the old saying goes: you can't always get what you want & you can't change to past, but you can change the future. With the death of Master Tiplee, Doom's unit was merged with Alex's 503rd, to which she welcomed them in.
During that time, Jay and his friends took part in minor battles and several missions. They haven't told anyone about removing the clones's the inhibitor chips; fearing, if discovered, there would be severe consequences. But, life goes on. At the Jedi Temple, Jay received a letter from General Lyons, giving him good news. In the letter, General Lyons said he married Yumiko and the troops of the 1st are doing well are about to train to return to active duty. On the last week of February, Jay and Mollbry found some free time to be alone. It was there Jay asked for Mollbry's hand in marriage. Earlier, on the first week of February, Echore married Bril. Mollbry wrote in her memoir that Jay has grown and matured a lot since the day we met. She cared, and often worry, about him every day. Then, she accepts his proposal of marriage. But, Jay was not the only one to propose. Corran Promal proposed to Alex, to which she accepts. One week later, both Sakura & Keeve would be asked to be wed; but to women. Keeve was asked to marry by an officer of The 212th, named Nerli Tromo & Sakura was asked by Jay's equal, and rival, Lacy Rinee of The 44th Battalion. Both of them said yes and on The first week of April, April 6th, 2019; on the planet Myrkr, all of them were married. Several weeks later, in the merry month of May, good news came their way in the form of a victory on Anaxes. Earlier, Clone Force 99 found ARC Trooper Corporal Echo on planet Skako Minor, the headquarters of the Techno Union. Echo, after Lola Sayu, was captured by the Separatists and transformed into a cyborg. Echo was sold to the foreman of the Techno Union, Emir Wat Tambor, and further experimented on. Since the victory on Anaxes, Echo joined Squad 99. Alex, upon hearing the news, happily wept. She was heard to say "Fives would have been happy.". Jay would have agreed with that statement.
At the Batuu System, Jay and his corps were engaged in battle with Separatists Forces above the moon, who threaten to take the planet of Batuu for the Separatists Alliance. Keeve was leading fighter squadrons to deal with Droid Fighters while Jay and the rest were deal with main force on the planet surface, far away from Black Spire Outpost. Keeve, about the planet, was leading a bombing run to destroy a Separatist Frigate. A couple of bombs hit the haul of ship, but the tower his protected by a deflector shield. "Shit!" Keeve exclaimed. Jay, hearing Keeve through his com link, replied "Language!". Admiral Handro informed Jay through his com link that Separatist forces are moving on his position. To slow the Separatists down, Jay sent Senth Platoon and Zusho Battalion to meet them and send the droids running. At the same time, Keeve began teasing Jay about saying 'language'. Jay defended himself by saying it slipped out. With the arrival of Mollbry and her troops, with Sakura Lyon and Alex Lyon behind her, they preformed a flanking maneuver that ended the battle with the Separatists surrendering. What's left of them fled to Separatists Space.
Later that evening, the troops of Jay's Corps settled in at Black Spire Outpost, celebrating their victory. Keeve was telling of the troops about Jay's comment, which they laughed and laughed. Then, a Republic Gunship arrived carried two standard issued Clones and Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. Jay went out to greet Vos. But, he didn't come to Batuu to celebrate the Republic's victory. He came with a disconcerting message from the Council. They ordered Jay to take a battalion of his troops and go to Orto Plutonia, to help a unit lead by Jedi General Lafi Vemo while Vos will command the 76th in Jay's place. Reluctant to leave his troops, Jay nevertheless relinquishes command over his troops to Master Vos and makes the journey to meet Master Vemo. Arriving at Kamino, Jay met with Master Vemo and the troops she is commanding on the mission. Among the troops are Captain Doharran, Commander Keller and a division from the Galactic Marines, Delta Squad, Clone Force 99 & some her troops from her unit, the 43rd Battalion. It was there that Jay met Echo, who recently joined Clone Force 99. He wished him the best of luck in his new unit and has put in a good word for Sergeant Hunter. "I'm sorry I didn't bring Alex with me." Jay said, placing his hand on Echo's shoulder. "She would've loved to see you again.". "I'm sure she will." Echo replied with a smile. Echo was informed about Fives from Hevy after being freed from the Techno Union. Like Hevy, Echo continue to serve and fight in memory of his close friend from his days in Domino Squad and in the 501st. After meeting up with the troops, Jay, Vemo, and the commanding officers and sergeants were brought in for a war council to discuss the mission. They were informed by Republic Intelligence that Republic troops of 14th Infantry Brigade and a clone commando unit are trapped on that planet of Orto Plutonia after clashing with Separatists Forces. Their last transmission before going missing is asking for reinforcements. Republic probs manage to found them on a down Republic Venator, almost covered in snow. Knowing those troops need help to get off world, Vemo propose to gather all the supplies available and have them take the gunships to take in the survivors and the wounded. But, they must act fast before the Separatists arrive and attack. With a plan in place, Vemo, Jay and their soldiers moved out.
