Night Corp: A Clone Wars Story

Order 65

"It's been a few weeks since Night Corps was moved to protect the Chancellor special project. The Clones have been enjoying the rest but Erica has been uneasy ever since we have gotten here." I said into the holo recorder. I was sitting at my desk in our room aboard the Mandalorian Blade, I was about to continue the recording but the door opened and Erica walked in. She was in her officers uniform which always hugged tight to her body. "Hey how was the briefing?" I asked as I turned in my seat to look at her. She didn't reply and began pacing back and forth in the room thinking. "Babe?" I asked as I stood up from my chair. "Erica." I said as I grabbed her. She jumped slightly like she didn't even know I was in the room. "Babe what's wrong?" I asked her worried. "Shane this..... Star Dust isn't just a Battle Station..... It's a super weapon." She said. She pulled me into a tight hug. She wrapped her arms around my body and placed her head on my chest. "It's designed to kill planets Shane... whole planets." She said. She let a tear go down her face. "Hey it's going to be okay." I said as I tried to comfort her. "Shane we need to stop all of this. This isn't the Republic this is wrong." She said as she looked up at me. "I know it's wrong Erica but what are we supposed to do? It's not just some politician pulling the strings here, it's the Chancellor." I said calmly. I was upset to but i had to be strong for her. In all the years I have known Erica I never saw this much fear in her. "We could do one thing." She said as she let go of me and sat down on the bed. I pulled the chair from my desk over and sat down in front of her. "What is it?" I asked worried. "We could Execute Order 65." She said as she looked down at her hands. "You want to set Order 65 into effect? Erica that wouldn't look good because once the Chancellor is deemed unfit the order of succession falls to the highest ranking leader of the army which you and me both know is me." I said. "Yeah I know..... I know but we can't let this thing be built." Erica said. "We need to be sure of this, if we are wrong or don't have support we could be tried for treason." I said. I stood up and started to pace back and forth while i began to think of how we could pull this off. "I'm willing to take that risk shane, we can't let this just go by uncontested." she said as she stood up and grabbed me. I slipped my arm around her waist and pulled her towards me. I placed a light kiss her lips and smiled. "I love you." I said as I held onto her. "I Love you too." she said and placed her head on my chest. "Are you sure you want to do this babe, there is no turning back if we go forward." I asked as a last ditch effort to keep her safe. "Yes shane... I'm sure." She said with a small smile. "Okay then... let's make some calls."

Night Corps Fleet slipped back to Coruscant quietly. The Coruscant Defence Fleet was waiting for our arrival.

Erica and Myself were on the Bridge. "Captain Open Comms to the Coruscant Guard." I said calmly. "Yes Sir." Captain Hawk said. "This is Field Marshal Night." I said into the Comms. "Yes Sir How Can We Help You?" a hologram of Commander Fox appeared in front of me asked. "Commander Fox, Execute Order 65." I said. "Yes Sir." He said and the hologram disappeared. By the Night Corps had made it to the ground the senate building was surrounded by the Coruscant Guard. Night Corp marched off the landed cruiser. Erica and myself walked over to where Commander Fox set up a CP. "Where is the Chancellor." I asked as I walked up to him. "In his office sir, his royal guards are stopping us from breaching in." he said as he pointed to the holo map that displayed the building. "Very well, we will take it from here." I said before walking out of the CP. I was meant by General Windu. "Master Jedi." I said as I walked up to him. "What is going on here Field Marshal?" he asked confused. "The Chancellor has been deemed unfit and is set to be arrested for crimes against the Republic." Mace only nodded and followed Me as my men marched into the senate building. "I want all senators evacuated out of the building." I said into the comm as we marched to the Chancellor's office. Night Corps spread out through the building as my personal squad moved to the Office. As we got closer we could hear a fire fight going. We moved in for a closer look and found what Fox had told us about. The Chancellors Royal Guards were fighting a squad of Coruscant Guard Troopers. "Let's move in and drop those guards." I said. My person squad was made up of special airborne troopers. We made quick work of the Royal guards and moved into the door of the Chancellor's office. The clones filed in and moved to the edges of the room in a U shape. I drew my blaster and aimed them at the Chancellor who was calmly sitting in his chair. "Ah, Field Marshal How can I help you?" he asked calmly. "Chancellor Palpatine You Are Under Arrest For Crimes Against The Republic." I Said. "Place Your Hands On Your Head." Erica Said as she grabbed restraints off her kit. "Wait." A voice from behind them called out. Anakin Skywalker walked into the room behind them. "What is going on here?" He asked. "General Skywalker, the Chancellor is being placed under arrest for crimes against the Republic." "Chancellor hands up now, this is you last warning." Erica said. "This Is Treason." Palpatine said before jumping from his chair and igniting a crimson lightsaber. He quickly cut down two of the clones closest to him. "Blast Him." Erica yelled out. The clones quickly started firing at the threat. Palpatine was getting overwhelmed with blaster bolts so he forced pushed everyone back.

Everything went black for me for a few moments. As I came to, I looked through my blurred vision and could only see colorful red and blue sparks. As my vision cleared I quickly realized that General Skywalked was fighting Palpatine. I looked to my side and saw Erica was still knocked out. "Erica...Get up." I said as I Dragged myself over to her. Everything else around me faded away as I got to her. I was still in a bit of a daze as I got to her side and moved her into my lap. "Come on babe... wake up." I said as I took off her helmet. I could tell she was still alive as I felt her slightly moving and I could hear her breathing. I kept watching for any other signs that she would be getting up when I was brought out of my trance when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Skywalker kneeling next to me. "She will be okay Shane." He said before standing back up. I looked around the room and saw most of my clones standing looking back at me. Then I saw Palpatine's body lying lifelessly slumped over his desk. Two clones came over with a stretcher and we put Erica on it. "She will be okay sir." one of my troopers said as they walked out of the room with her. Just as they left Master Yoda and Windu walked in. "Generals, How can I help you." I asked as they stopped in front of me. "Congratulate you, we wanted." Master Yoda said with a smile. Skywalker walked up next to me and spoke. "Masters, Chancellor Palpatine was the Sith we have been looking for all along." He said and handed Windu Palpatine's lightsaber "The prophecy is complete, Anakin you have brought peace to the galaxy." Windu said. "A Master you will be, young Skywalker." Yoda said with a nod before turning and leaving with Windu. "Congratulations General." I said as I shook his hand before turning and leaving myself with my troopers leaving the newly appointed Master Skywalker alone in the office. As I made it back on board my ship I went right to the medical bay. I walked in and saw Erica sitting on one of the beds fighting with a medical droid to be let go. "Droid she free to leave." I said as I walked over. "Yes Sir." the droid said and walked off. Right as soon as the droid was out of her way she bolted off the bed and into my arms placing a passionate kiss on my lips. "We did it Erica, Skywalker got him." I said with a small smile, relieved she was okay.

Love Y'all, Camie
