Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Togruta and Apprentice. Enjoy the 700-word chapter. I don't own Star Wars, Disney and Lucas Films do.

Cleve looked out from the Cr-90 corvette, Freedom as the rebel ship approached Raxus Prime, he looked behind himself to see Kota walk up.

"Master Kazden will not be able to find easily, he's not been seen since the Clone Wars." The General nodded as he looked at the apprentice.

"I will lead the search from him around ship graveyards, you search the junk temple we spotted from orbit when we entered the system." Cleve nodded as both Jedi made their way to the docking ports where a U-Wing was attached to each side and the top of the ship as it launched all three as Cleve contacted Blackout.

"Blackout, made sure my fighter is ready if this goes south and continue to monitor transmissions, I want to know if the Empire has caught onto our presence yet."

The astromech responded with a series of whistles as the 3 U-wings flew into the atmosphere and split off with 2 containing Kota and a squad of Rebel Marines and the other containing Cleve and 7 Rebel spec op soldiers as it hovered near a stream of coolant from a destroyed Separatist as Cleve and his men dropped into the waist deep liquid.

"Move out and remember not to get ambushed, Kazden doesn't know we are on his side." Cleve said as he ignited his saber as the U-Wing turned and flew off as Cleve pulled the hood of his robe over his head and began to walk out of the coolant as the Rebel Spec Ops soldiers followed.

"Cleve to General Kota, me and my strike team has set down near the temple. Nothing moving around yet, you getting anything, Master Kota?" Cleve was answered on his comlink as the Jedi lifted it to his head while the Rebels formed a circle around him.

"No, just some sca-…. Blasted Rodians, we are under fire, I will contact you when we find Master Kazden!" Cleve turned to one of his rebel soldiers as the junk around them began to shift as droids made out of garbage surrounded them.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?" A voice, magnified through one of the droids echoed as Cleve looked at them.

"My name is Cleve Tor, apprentice of Shaak Ti, we are here for Master Kazden Paratus." The droids looked at one another as a massive droid with a Vibro axe marched up to the rebel group.

"Master Ti lives?" Cleve nodded before the droids were multiplied by the dozens until hundreds surrounded Cleve and his troops.

"Follow us." Cleve was cut off by a blaster shot before looking up to see dozens of Rodians, all armed with patch work arrow and blasters as Cleve translated the words spoken.

"Rebels! And that's Cleve Tor, Shaak Ti's precious little apprentice who's wanted by the Empire, kill the troopers, wound the Jedi." Cleve brought up his saber.

"Back off and I will say we only partly beat you." Cleve was answered by a rain of blaster fire as a dozen of the droids went down as Cleve's rebel soldiers dived for cover.

"So much for the easy route, men, return fire!" Cleve began to deflect fire back as the Rebel Spec Ops troops raised their A-300 blasters and returned fire as 2 of the Rodians fell dead before a spec force soldier died in return fire as Cleve collapsed a gunship on a dozen of the scavengers with the force before leaping up and brining his saber through one of the scavengers.

"Master Kota, we engaged a group of 20 scavengers." Cleve cut down 3 of them as they charged at him with scrap metal claws.

"Make that 17, we have a man down and a group of droids belonging to Master Kazden are fighting them as well." Cleve was answered a minute later as 2 of the scavengers were killed by rebel fire as Cleve force pushed a group of 4 off the junk to their deaths.

"We are just finishing up here and then we will join you, Kota out." Cleve sighed.

"Looks like this is going to be a long cycle."
