I stood in the middle of the camp, unmoving as my father's body lay in the dirt, the crew of the ghost looked at me in horror, my fellow Mandalorians looked at me surprised. Many had tried to take his place as head of the clan. Now the bucketheads had drawn their blasters on me.

"Shoot the Jedi!" I heard one shout. Before I heard anything else I heard something from one of my old friends.

"Cabuor te boy!" It was my best friend from before, besides my sister. As I looked on I saw my old clan members draw their weapons and fire on the troopers. I turned to the crew of the ghost.

"Get out of here!" I said as they looked at me in confusion, "NOW!" I holstered my lightsaber and drew my pistol and began firing at the troopers as the crew went towards their ship. As I fired at the bucketheads I backed up towards the man who had issued the command.

Eventually I had to take cover behind something as I got hit in the shoulder. I turned to see a mandalorian wearing armor similar to mine only his had the design of a baby Krayt Dragon.

"Glad to see you're still around," he said his voice being distorted by his helmet. I quickly grabbed my helmet from my belt and slipped it on.

"Liser't let gar ash'amur liser Ni?" I responded in Mando'a, taking a moment to open fire on the troopers again, noting that I hit one in the head.

"If anything I'm the one that keeps you alive vod!" He said before throwing a detonator at the opposing forces.

"Whatever you say," I said rolling my eyes underneath my helmet. Taking a couple detonators off his belt I chucked them in two different directions. Before long all blaster fire stopped and I heard an all clear signal.

Taking our helmets off and clipping them to our belts. "Can't get rid of the hair Saar?" I asked him. He had silver hair that covered most of his head, it was tied at the moment so that he could put his helmet over it and still be able to see.

"Joking aside I'm glad you're back vod," he said as we clasped our hands together before grasping each other's shoulders.

"What happened here, how did the Empire get a foothold here?" I asked him confused.

"The only reason your father hadn't sided with the Empire before you left was because of your mother," I looked at him in surprise at the mention of my mother.

A young man stood in the middle of the lush planet Rishi across from a young woman.

"Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum," the male said in Mando'a, the woman looked at him before responding.

"You know I don't understand Mando'a, Thalkor!" The woman exclaimed to Thalkor.

"It means 'I love you,' and I mean every bit of it," he said inching closer to her.

"I'm pregnant," she said stopping him in his tracks.

"Thalkor promised your mother that as long as you or your sister were in the clan he wouldn't side with the Empire," Saar continued his story, "that's all he told me when I confronted him about why you were taken with no resistance from the rest of the clan." Everything started to click into place for me, he knew he couldn't kick me out of the clan without arising suspicion from everyone else, so he knew if he somehow got Alor out of the picture I would either leave of my own volition or attack him and be eliminated as a threat.

"That bastard didn't suffer nearly enough!" I managed to hiss out, looking down at his body as we walked by.

"You know I would've helped if I'd been there," he said looking at me his silver hair glinting in the light that Rishi provided.

"I know," I said without hesitation, him and I were basically blood brothers, and he was absolutely head over heels for Alor. He looked like he had a ten ton bag of bricks had just been taken off of his shoulders.

"Thanks ner vod!" He responded clapping his hands together, "now that you've returned we must celebrate!" I couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

Before we could continue our conversation I felt something cold before hearing the clanking of armor. "TAKE COVER!" I shouted out before following my own advice and diving behind a boulder that was resting in the camp, Saar followed my lead.

"How'd they find out so quickly!?" I heard before the coldness I had felt became stronger, then I heard the snap of a lightsaber being activated.

~(This is back to when Arkilack was being dragged off by the storm troopers)

As Ark was pulled away a new presence entered the area, one dark and foreboding. As the figure approached he lowered rid himself of the cloak to reveal pale skin and disk shaped hilt on his back.

~

As the lightsaber was activated the cold presence became stronger but at the same time it felt familiar, as if I should know who it was. Looking around I saw a vibro blade sitting and rather than reveal my lightsaber I picked it up and placed my helmet on my head before stepping out and pointing the blade at the opposing forces.

I looked on my mouth agape at what I saw, a woman stood before me, wearing armor that showed off her curves, while at the same time wielding a crimson red lightsaber with another at her belt. But what threw me off the most was the fact that she had cybernetics where most people's hearts would be.

~

The pale man looked at the body of the girl sprawled out on the ground.

"Who shot her!?" He shouted out to the men around him. When no one stepped forward he stuck his hand out and immediately flicked his wrist forward three troopers fell over dead. "No one is to be shot until I am able to test them for force sensitivity!"

The man lifted the young girl up bridal style and brought her to his ship, "We'll have to fix that hole up," he smiled his teeth sharp and unclean, "then you will crush anyone in your way."

~
I looked at the woman across from me, as well as the army of storm troopers behind her. The men lifted their weapons ready to open fire before the woman held her hand up ordering them to stop.

 She opened her mouth to speak but her voice came out more as a croak, almost as if she hadn't used it in a while. "I wish to know what fool thinks they stand a chance against me!"

My voice came out altered because of my helmet, "I am the reason you're here!" She smiled at this as she drew her second lightsaber, only this one wasn't a crimson red, no it was a bright green. In response I dropped the vibro sword knowing that it wouldn't help me much in this fight, I grabbed my hilt and activated the deep purple blade, knowing that this would be much harder than any threat I had ever faced before, I charged forward purple clashed with red, but before I could even think of the red blade I felt a searing pain in my side.
