Episode 12






A man, tall and large stood amongst the warriors participating in the Warrior Tournament all gathered around a large stand where the man stood. The man was ForKa, a ChiRa exile. Guards stood by his side. "Welcome to the Unknown Regions Tournament. The rules are quite simple, every fight is until one falls dead or wounded! Killing an opponent outside of the tournament is instant disqualification. The final battle will be between the two remaining teams...and their leaders must fight to the death." ForKa said. The more savage warriors cheered loudly, Jace, Rezh, and Alyss had no reaction. They only joined to engage KiRa in combat that they could beat him in. KiRa other wise was too powerful unrestricted. "And one more thing!" ForKa said. Everyone looked at him. "Teams of seven!" ForKa said before walking out.

"Jace!" A voice shouted. Jace looked over, Alyss and Rezh did too. Kal, Varn, and Lydia all walked over in disguise.

"Lydia?" Jace asked.

"Can we?" Lydia asked.

"Y-yeah. Guys these are my teammates from our last encounter." Jace said.

"Kal, Varn, Lyd." Rezh said shaking their hands.

"I'm Alyss." Alyss said.

"Why are you guys here again?" Jace asked.

"Vader sent us after KiRa." Lydia sat brushing her blonde hair back.

"We need one more." Kal interrupted. Alyss slowly looked over her shoulder and saw a large gold b2 series droid.

"I am J3-2F." The gold droid said.

"Hello." Alyss said awkwardly.

"May I align with your group of organic humans?" The droid asked.

"Sure..." Alyss said slowly.

"You're one of those modded experimental ones, right?" Jace asked.

"J3 series correct." J3-2F said.

"Can I call ya Jeff?" Jace asked.

"Sure." The droid said.






Tez, O3, Orroff, and Hyt sat in the mess hall with Morgan, Saren, and Fernan. They all ate their food, all laughing. "May I ask, where is Agent Garnel?" O3 asked Saren.

"What?" Saren asked.

"Jak." O3 said.

"He's out and about." Saren said. Morgan tilted her head. O3 looked at her.

"I scan sadness." The droid said.

"Can you not?" Morgan asked.

"Not what?" O3 asked.

"Ugh..." Morgan muttered walking away.

"Jak, when in imperial service killed her parents while covering a storm trooper squad or something." Fernan said. Saren nodded.

"She has to realize the past is the past, and this is a war." Tez said. "Jace was on the ground at Tatooine...his father's ship was in the atmosphere. It didn't fire." Tez said.

"He has a point." O3 pointed out.

"Plus Jak is a pretty cool guy." Tez said. Orroff spoke in his native tongue.

"What?" Hyt asked. Orroff put on his vocal mask.

"Jace's father, many of years ago left me with him." Orroff said. "His mother died in the Coruscant Terror Attack. I was a family friend of Nark's, Jace's father. Since his younger days as a republic officer. Good guy...minus the whole thing on that moon." Orroff said.

"It was Davol Moon." Hyt said.

"I heard the planet was likewise destroyed?" Orroff asked.

"Barely escaped that." Tez said. "That ship they have, you've seen it right?" He asked. "The large black one that's not shaped like a triangle?" Tez specified.

"Yeah." Orroff said.

"Both the planet and moon were destroyed by it." Tez said.

"And you weren't deployed on the moon, neither of us were." Hyt said.

"I wasn't." O3 said. "I wasn't deployed, in fact I was beside you in the bridge when the moon was bombed." O3 went on.

"I know, I know." Tez said.

"Just a reminder." O3 said. Soon the door opened and Tyvo entered. He sat with the group at the table.

"I thought you'd be the first to know, after months of digging...Torri's will was found." Tyvo said.

"What was in it?" Tez asked.

"She left you this." Tyvo said unholstering a tiny blaster pistol.

"An DR-7?" Tez asked holding the tiny pistol.

"Me and her...I was captured by an admiral. She rescued me...a storm Commando squad was running at us..." Tyvo laughed a bit. "Those big black scout troopers carrying their TL-50s went to aim and blow us apart but remember she had that quick draw. She fired and killed each of them as they were taking aim." Tyvo recalled.

"She never took anyone's shit." Tez sighed.

"Was a great leader." Hyt commented.

"Her tactics were flawed but her will to do wasn't." O3 said.

"What about Kyle's ship?" Hyt asked.

"Not sure." Tyvo said.

"The Wentmillers we tracked down want nothing to do with us or that ship. I'm thinking of giving it to you." Tyvo said looking at Tez.

"Me? Don't you think Kass would rather it?" Tez asked.

"Kass prefers his X-Wing, besides, can't keep wasting U-Wings everytime I send you all half way across the galaxy." Tyvo laughed.

"Thanks General." Tez said.






The day was here, the first tournament was about to begin. Two teams were up, it was estimated twenty teams would be left by the time the team vs team rounds ended and that the woods match would begin, designed to eliminate the other teams till two large teams would be left, 29 fighters. Jace sat in a bleacher as a mandalorian Clan took on seven HK series droids. The two fought it out, the Mandalorians ultimately winning. Next was a mix matched disorganized group vs KiRa. KiRa had created more resurgence warriors, one looked familiar to Jace. It looked like a rebel ST0 spoke off occasionally. They dominated the field. Next they were up, up against a squad of K series droids and a cyborg bounty hunter. Jace heard the story of operation Rogue One. He knew a K series imperial droid could hold it's own against waves of elite storm troopers before going down. He and his team stepped into the court. They all took out their weapons as the K series droids got in a pre run stance and the cyborg got ready to shoot. Three seconds till it begun.
