Chapter 3
Plan of Action
Maverick and his troops followed the Jedi, Kal Nevaar, to his home on the more Eastern side of the forest. they occasionally ran into one of the forest's numerous predatory animals, but Kal just waved his hand, and they walked away, as they had never seen the men. Even though he had seen a Jedi do it before, Maverick was still amazed and impressed. They were now nearing Kal's makeshift home.
"It's not much for room, but I can fix that, if need be." Kal said.
"As long as we can live in it, we can call it home." Jax said.
"Yes, well, I can't guarantee that it will be comfortable." Kal replied.
"Comfort is a luxury, sir, and luxuries make a man soft." Berk said.
Maverick didn't say anything, he was only thinking of how the Jedi had found them, yes he had the Force and could probably sense them, but that din't explain why it had taken him this long to find the six of them.
***
The seven men walked inside the small lodging and stood.
"Please, make yourselves comfortable." Kal said sweeping his arm around the main room of the building.
The clones complied, taking a seat or leaning against the wall, according to their preference.
"Could I ask you your names?" Kal asked.
"Sir, everyone calls me Jax." one of the clones said.
"I'm Sparky, they call me that 'cause i'm good with electronics." another replied.
"Bets, got my name 'cause I like to take risks." another replied.
"Berk, no story for my name."
"Vek, I also have no story."
"I'm called Maverick, because I'm inventive with my way of following the rules."
Kal nodded, "Would you mind me asking if you took of your helmets, I feel odd not seeing you face-to-face." he said.
The clones looked at one another, but then slowly removed their helmets, revealing the same face under each, but each was different in their own way. Maverick had a scar directly above his left eyebrow that arched over the bridge of his nose to the corner of his right eye. Sparky had an inch-long scar along his hairline on the left side of his forehead. Berk had a scar that started on the left side of his neck, went up his his chin, and stopped at the left corner of his lips. Jax had long slicked back hair, but no scars on his face. Bets had the symbol for galactic credits tattooed on the right side of his neck. Vek also possessed no scars, but, unlike Jax, his hair was a regulation military cut. Lockdown just had a simple buzz-cut hairdo.
"Were not that impressive, sir, hard to be an individual when people share your face." Jax said.
Kal shook his head with a smile, "You are all individuals, Jax. You have your own preferences, your own ideas, and ,above all, your own personalities." he said.
Jax seemed to think about this, "I suppose so, sir." he said.
Kal scanned the group of men in front of him. He felt them in the force, and memorized there presences, though when he reached Maverick, he felt something of a mix of questioning and curiosity.
"Is there something troubling you Maverick?" Kal asked.
"Actually, sir, there is." Maverick replied.
"Go on." Kal politely insisted.
"Sir, I've been thinking, how did you find us in those ruins?" Maverick asked.
The other troops focused on him, apparently they hadn't thought about that.
"I felt your presences in the the Force." he replied simply.
"But why know, we've been here for a good long time now, so why did it take you this long to find us?" maverick continued.
Kal sighed, "I felt a disturbance in the Force. So when I stretched out with Force, I felt your presence, and the presence of something dark. I immediately assumed that Vader was here with a squad of troops, I believe that the Empire is coming, and soon." he said.
"No rest for the weary soldiers I guess." Jax said with a shrug.
"If the Empire's coming, we will fight." Lockdown said, standing up and clenching a fist in front of him.
"We need more than just the seven of us, alone we are sure to fail." Kal said.
"What do you suggest we do then, sir?" Maverick asked.
"I don't know, but we have to protect the innocent inhabitants of this world." Kal replied.
"Why not just ask the locals for a bit of help?" Bets asked.
"I had hoped not to endanger then, but that may be inevitable." Kal said.
"Then let's do it, if the Empire gets here while we're discussing this everyone will be caught off guard." Berk said.
"Then that is our plan." Kal said.
"We can teach the locals how to fight, at least the basics anyway." Maverick said.
Kal nodded, "Yes, that would increase our chances, but are you sure you can do it?" he asked.
The troops all stood at attention, "Sir, yes, sir!" they all said in unison.
"Very well, we shall go to the nearest village, and ask them to take us to see their highest authority." Kal said.
The troops replaced their helmets, walked out the door, and waited for Kal.
"May the Force be with us." Kal said.
"For the Republic." The troops replied.
"We're off to war again, lead the way... General." Maverick said.
They began to exit the forest and head towards the nearest village, which was closer than they had thought.
welp here we go! if ewaks can decimate a clone betallion with just sticks and rocks the equestrians have more then good chance! xD
i have some questions and assumptions, but first, great story so far!
now the questions and assumptions...
first, is the Jedi someone we're familiar with in the clone wars or just an OC? if so, please send a picture.
same thing for the clones.
second, i assume what Kal Nevaar felt in that castle is the old, dark magical remains of Nightmare Moon.
that's all for now. keep it up, hope to see more soon!
Ace out
2559945 at the time of the battle of endor there was only about 100 clones left in the imperial army. they blew up the cloning facilitys on kamino to stop rebelling clones to be created so most/all of the stormtroopers were enlisted men
2561489 Kal isn't a Jedi we're familiar with, he is one of my own creations. You are correct in assuming that Kal sensed the remains of Nightmare Moon's energy. I can try to do my best to make a picture of each character, but if anyone wants to help with that I would appreciate it, art really isn't my forte.
2570208 i was thinking on what you said for a second, and then i remembered do you think Sw battlefront 2 campain is canon? (the campains that werent brought up in the movies IE the storm troopers fight the droids Gizor reactivated? and the "unofficial" clone rebellion ect ect) if thats the case if you remember before destroying kamino during the "clone rebellion" the storm troopers took a sample of the DNA. they dont say much of what they were doing with it but im more then positive they use that sample to make more storm troopers.
and if you consider SW battlefront 2 canon then that would also mean that non of the storm troopers were enlisted men as far as i could tell but where a mix of new clones and the elite 501st legion
with that considered im positive there was well over 300 minimum otherwise palpatine and vader wouldnt have been so confident in there defences
Well let’s recruit ponies.
