Grievous handled his trophies while the ship took them to their location.

"Excuse me General, but how're we going to get through the planet undetected, there are Imperial ships orbiting Coruscant."

Grievous looked at Fett.

"This ship isn't just any normal ship, it has had many modifications done to it since my Magnaguard brought me to Dantooine."

Grievous continued.

"One of them being a cloaking device."

Grievous pulled down a trigger as the ship was completely hidden from the exterior view. The drop ship exited hyperspace and zoomed into the planets orbit, completely avoiding the Imperial Star Destroyers.

"We made it through, but where do we park?"
Pax asked.

Grievous readied his collection.

"We don't need to land the ship, we're getting dropped off." "It'll come back when we're done."

Pax nodded, as the ship got closer to the ground. The drop ship opened up, as the three exited, one by one. When they were all out, the drop ship blasted off until further notice.

"Now what?" Fett asked.

Grievous turned to him.
"Here, look at this holomap, and head to this location."

Pax and Fett looked at each other, then back at the General.

"Yeah and what about you?"
Pax wondering.

"I have something I need to accomplish, when I'm done, I will meet you back at the marked location, but be careful, there are Stormtroopers everywhere, and you'll need to stick to the shadows."

Grievous turned, and headed away from them, he had his cloak on to hide his appearance.

"Fett, I guess it's just me and you, till he returns, if he's true to his word."
Pax holstered his pistols.

"I'm sure he won't leave us, he's our ally, and I know he's different from before, and you know as well as I do that Grievous is curious about this truth."

Pax nodded at Boba's words, and he completely agreed.

"Alright lets start our escapade."
Pax said somewhat thrilled.

Fett nodded as the two Clones headed to their location. They weren't exactly sure where it was, and it'd be hard to navigate quietly in the shadows, as most of the entire planet was a neon noise house. Ships, people, troopers, anything you can name, it would be here, on this planet. The sky piercing buildings were enormous, and Fett now understood what his father Jango Fett meant when he said those words to him.

"Boba, one day you're going to grow to be a fine Bounty Hunter one day, and weather it's to complete or receive a bounty, you will for sure come to the Sea of Skyscrapers." "One day Boba, I'm proud of you, you're the finest son anyone could have."

Boba was spacing out during the travel to the destination. Boba remembered his father's smile. Fett never had a mother, but he did have a father. That's why it was so devastating when Jango was killed. Boba had nobody after that. He was hurt, but now he felt a bond with Pax and surprisingly Grievous. Fett didn't want to lose either one. They were his new family.

"Fett, hey Fett, you here?"

Fett quickly looked up.

"Yes, I'm here, sorry I was just spacing out, what is it?"

Pax nodded at Boba, like there was a problem, an enemy. Fett readied his EE-3 along with Pax, who readied his DC-15A.

The two Clones walked up to the opening of the building they were moving through. Pax busted the door down as Fett held his gun high. He hesitated as he froze in shock from a familiar face, as did Pax.

"I-impossible..."
Pax said in surprise.

The figure they saw looked back at them as it back away, and ran. Into the opening of the ruins. Fett and Pax chased after the figure, Pax taking the straight approach while Fett went an alternative route. Pax fired stun rounds at the figure, as it dodged some, but getting grazed in the left leg, as they shook, and dropped.  Fett boosted down when Pax caught up to the fallen statue ruins.

"I-I can't believe this..."
Pax and Fett both backed up a bit.

"Ahsoka..."
