A/N: Greetings. Finally arrived, the Star Wars story has. :) Before we go any further, let it be known that this story was bconfer368's idea, and therefore, he should get the credit for this, and I'm not talking about Imperial Credits. Anyway, this story is the revamped version of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", but with notable new OC's, both of which are voiced by Laura Bailey, added into it (the names of said OC's are mentioned in the title). In any case, to all fans of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (Show and movie alike), enjoy. :)
Star Wars: The Journey of Tilla Shan and Ember Kryze
Chapter I: Ambush
Great leaders inspire greatness in others.
"A galaxy, divided by war! Peaceful worlds must choose sides or face the threat of invasion. Republic and Seperatist armies vie for the allegiance of neutral planets. Desparate to build a Republic supply base in the system of Toydaria, Jedi Master Yoda and Jedi Knight Tilla travel to secret negotiations on a remote neutral moon."
On Toydaria, its denizens were flying down the branch for a better view.
"We are getting no signal from the republic, your highness.", the alien spoke as Katuunko looked through his magnifying mask to see no sign of the republican ships nearby; only vacant stars.
"I don't see anything. It is not like the Jedi to be late.", King Katuunko spoke as he lifted his mask before a voice spoke up.
"Greetings, King Katuunko.", Ventress greeted before the king and his two guards turned to notice her before the two guards prepared to go up against her only for their king to have them withhold from any attack for the moment.
"Who are you?", the king asked.
"I am only a messenger majesty. My master wishes to speak with you.", Ventress spoke before presenting a holo communicator with a message from Count Dooku, which was maneuvered almost toward the ground gracefully before the hologram then popped up.
"Katuunko, Great king of Toydaria, forgive my intrusion.", Dooku greeted via hologram.
"Count Dooku.", King Katuunko spoke.
"I am aware Master Yoda hopes you will allow the Jedi to build a Republic base in your system. in exchange for protection, correct?", Dooku asked.
"Your spies serve you well, Count.", King Katuunko responded.
"I ask, how can the Jedi protect you, if they cannot protect themselves?", Dooku asked.
Meanwhile, the republican envoys tried to reach out to the Toydarian Royal Delegation from their ship, but found no success.
"Toydarian Royal Delegation, this is the Republican envoy, please respond.", a republican envoy pleaded before Yoda and his padawan, Tilla Shan, who now wears her grandmother's Jedi clothing, stepped forward.
"What's wrong?", Tilla asked.
"General, Commander, the Toydarians' beacon is active on the moon, but all our transmissions are being jammed.", the clone responded.
"Something doesn't seem right about this.", Tilla guessed just before a separatist spaceship arrived and fired on the ship with two blasts connecting, rocking the ship.
"We caught them by surprise, alright!", the battle droid spoke.
Then, more separatist ships appeared and tried to destroy the ship.
"We're losing our shields.", the republican envoy exclaimed as the ship shook around.
"Too late, it is. Sprung is, the trap.", Yoda spoke as the republic envoy ship barely managed to dodge the incoming lasers.
"I must get you and your padawan to safety, General.", the envoy urged.
"Retreat, you must. On the moon below, is our mission. There, we must go.", Yoda urged as the ship moved in toward the moon as the separatist ships continued fire as meanwhile Katuunko's conversation continued.
"I suppose you and your droid armies can do better?", King Katuunko asked.
"Without a doubt. I sense you are one who respects strength, your highness. Our droid armies outnumber the Republic clones 100 to 1.", Dooku responded.
"Perhaps, But I have heard, That a single Jedi equals 100 battle droids.", King Katuunko responded.
Meanwhile, Yoda realized that now is the time to reach the planet's surface.
"Quickly, now. Reach the planet's surface, we must.", Yoda urged before he turned around and then started heading off.
"In an escape pod, sir? The enemy will fire at anything we launch.", the envoy spoke.
"Then launch all of them, you will. Hm?", Yoda responded.
By that point, all four escape pods were dispatched to keep the droids distracted as meanwhile, Dooku continued to speak his peace.
"Master Yoda's powers have been greatly exaggerated.", Count Dooku doubted.
"That remains to be seen Count.", Katuunko responded.
"Indeed. But when you decide to join us, my apprentice will contact me.", Count Dooku responded before bowing with the hologram disappearing afterwards.
Meanwhile, only one escape pod was destroyed, although thankfully, none were inside the pod when it was destroyed as the separatists continued firing.
"Hang on. Almost...", the droid insisted before trying to fire at the pod, but missed as the pod was now too far away.
"What a terrible shot.", the other droid spoke.
"Ah well, It's my programming.", the battle droid spoke with a shrug.
Meanwhile, the pod was now heading for its destination.
"That was a close one.", Rys commented.
"General, I think we're out of range.", Lieutenant Thire spoke.
"I agree. But entering another trap, we are.", Yoda responded.
"Are you sure?", Rys asked.
"A disturbance in the force, there is.", Yoda responded.
"You're right. I can sense it, too.", Tilla agreed as she sensed the same disturbance Yoda had.
Meanwhile, Katuunko noticed the ship moving away, seemingly out of fright from the separatists' attack, through his mask before lifting it up and turning to Ventress as she spoke.
"My Lord, Master Yoda's warship has fled the system. What further evidence do you require of the Jedi's weakness?", Ventress asked before Katuunko got a holo message from Thire and answered it, as if to prove her wrong.
"This is King Katuunko. Speak.", Katuunko spoke.
"Master Yoda would like to talk with you sir.", Thire responded before moving the communicator toward Yoda in the hologram with Tilla nearby as the group were now somewhere in the moon.
"A pleasure it is, to hear your voice, your heighness. Master Yoda, of the Jedi Council this is.", Yoda greeted.
"I'm Padawan Tilla. Nice to meet you.", Tilla greeted as she decided to join in.
"Master Jedi, I though perhaps Count Dooku had, frightened you off.", Katuunko spoke.
"Delayed have we been, but not too far away are we now. Unaware I was, Count Dooku was invited to our meeting.", Yoda responded.
"The Count invited himself. He assures me that in this time of war, his droids can offer me greater security than your Jedi.", Katuunko explained.
"Hmmm, a matter of debate that is.", Yoda guessed.
"Your Majesty might prefer more than words.", Ventress spoke as Yoda turned to notice Ventress.
"What do you have in mind?", Katuunko asked.
"If Yoda is indeed the Jedi warrior you believe he is, let him prove it. Allow me to send my best troops to capture him. If he escapes, join the Republic. But should my droids defeat Yoda, consider an alliance with the Seperatists.", Ventress responded.
"I did not request Yoda's presence here to test him in battle.", Katuunko retorted.
"Accept the challenge I do, your heighness. Arrive by nightfall, I will.", Yoda responded before the call went off.
"Master Yoda must be given a fair fight.", Katuunko requested.
"My dear King Katuunko, I would have it no other way.", Ventress fibbed.
Meanwhile, Tilla looked around in wonder as her master only stared into the horizon with the same wonder.
"Wow. This place is great.", Tilla spoke in awe.
"Beautiful this moon is. Amazing the universe is.", Yoda commented before he, Tilla, and the others noticed an incoming separatist warship moving above them before landing somewhere else.
"There's gotta be a full battalion in there. Probably packin' armor too.", Rys guessed.
"We'll have somethin' for 'em.", Jek assured as he got out his blaster cannon.
Meanwhile, Ventress got out her holo communicator and spoke to Dooku.
"I'm deploying my forces, master.", Ventress assured.
"Yoda and his padawan have made a grave mistake, straying this far from Coruscant.", Dooku stated.
"I will see the Jedi gets his 'fair' fight.", Ventress assured to Dooku.
Meanwhile, Tilla was puzzled on what to do.
"So, where do we go from there?", Tilla asked before Yoda gave a warning.
"Carry only what you need. Too much weight. Slow you down, it will. Destroy Ventress, your weapons will not. Come, come, lieutenant. Hurry, we must.", Yoda warned.
"Sir, the rendezvous point is that way.", Lieutenant Thire stated, pointing to the opposite direction.
"As is our enemy. To reach our goal, a straight path we will not follow.", Yoda responded.
"He is my master.", Tilla shrugged a bit.
"Let's move it boys.", Lieutenant Thire urged before Rys and Jek started to follow.
Meanwhile, Ventress turned to the battle droids.
"Find Master Yoda.", Ventress ordered.
"Uh, what does he look like?", the battle droid asked.
"He'll be the small shriveled green one, with the light saber.", Ventress responded, exasperatedly while getting out her lightsaber and activating it, summing a red, ethereal blade.
"Small, huh? Don't worry, Supreme Leader. We'll take care of him.", the battle droid assured before the droids departed as Ventress turned off her lightsaber and then put it away.
The droids were in their tanks and deep in the bushes as the battle droid commander looked through his parascope.
"I think I see them. They're hiding deep in the trees. Fire on Sector 11.", the battle droid commander ordered before the tanks began firing lasers, hitting the ground and rock as Yoda, Tilla, and the clones looked on.
"At ease be, my friends, within range we are not.", Yoda assured.
Sure enough, Yoda was right as the tanks were now getting too close to the branches.
"Uh, hold it. Hold it. I said, 'hold it'! Wait! That's far enough! I mean it! Stop! I said, 'Stop'!", the battle droid commander shouted before the tanks made a complete stop.
"We're too big to fit in there.", the battle droid commander stated.
"No, we're not. Watch this.", the 2nd battle droid commander retorted before charging forward, only to get knocked off his tank before standing back up.
"You were right.", the 2nd battle droid commander admitted.
"Next time, listen to orders!", the 1st battle droid commander responded.
Meanwhile, as Tilla laughed a bit, Lieutenant Thire noticed that the tanks were too big to fit through.
"Those tanks are too big to follow.", Lieutenant Thire guessed.
"See? See? Size is not everything, hm? Smaller in number are we, but larger in mind.", Yoda spoke before laughing as he took his leave.
"Do you have any idea what the General was talkin' about?", Jek asked.
"Not exactly, but I trust him.", Tilla responded before taking her leave.
"And you?", Jek asked.
"How should I know? There's no figurin' a Jedi Master.", Rys responded before the clones decided to leave as well.
"Infantry, advance. Go get 'em boys.", the 1st battle droid commander ordered.
Meanwhile, it wasn't long before Lieutenant Thire turned around to notice the droids following them not too far away.
"Sir, there are two patrols coming in on foot.", Lieutenant Thire warned.
"Now is the time to face the enemy lieutenant. Ambush them, we will.", Yoda spoke as the droids marched forward nearby.
"We'll flank them from the South.", Lieutenant Thire suggested.
"Agreed.", Tilla nodded.
"Right, let's move.", Jek agreed.
Then, Tilla went with the clones as Yoda went to a different direction while the droids matched forward as Thire and Tilla hid behind one rock as Yoda hid behind another, all for cover before Thire shot out a laser at a droid's head, dispatching it quickly.
"What was that?", the droid asked before Thire opened fire again and blasted the droid through his shoulder.
"Blast him!", another battle droid shouted before he and the others opened fire and marched forward prompting Thire and Tilla to run for cover as Yoda suddenly landed in front of the droids' path and then jumped away just as quickly, prompting the droids to look toward him.
"Look, little green life form.", the 1st battle droid spoke in wonder.
"You bucket head, that's the Jedi!", the 2nd battle droid adamantly reminded as Yoda hopped around.
"He is a little one. Blast him!", the 2nd battle droid spoke before they all shot out laser blasters but missed Yoda.
"Split up by squad and spread out.", the 1st battle droid ordered.
"Roger roger, roger roger.", the battle droids responded before the droids separated.
By that point, Jek had a big surprise waiting for them.
"Okay clankers, SUCK LASER!", Jek shouted before firing multiple lasers at the droids, dispatching all the droids in the area quickly before Tilla, Thire, and Rys caught you to Jek.
"Where's Master Yoda?", Tilla asked.
"That's just what I was going to ask.", Rys concurred.
"I don't know, we got separated.", Jek responded before a big laser shot rang out but missed them before he and the others turned around to notice Super Battle Droids headed for them.
"Clankers!", Jek spoke before they tried to fire at the droids, but got no avail.
"Fall back, there too many of them.", Lieutenant Thire urged.
Meanwhile, as the birds flew away from their branches, the regular battle droids were searching for Yoda to almost no avail.
"He's around here somewhere.", the battle droid spoke before Yoda landed on top of it.
"Hey, get off of me!", the droid urged annoyedly as Yoda laughed.
"Don't move.", the droid spoke before blasting the droid, trying to get Yoda.
The droid then accidentally blasted his own comrades before Yoda went in-between the two droids and jumped up, causing the droids to blast themselves in the legs before then blasting each other by mistake as Yoda landed.
Meanwhile, the droid reported back to Ventress.
"The Jedi destroyed our advance troops.", the battle droid reported via hologram.
"Ha! Master Yoda is living up to my expectations.", King Katuunko grinned.
"Commander, have you pinpointed the Jedi's location?", Ventress asked.
"Affirmative. The clones gave away their position. Our heavy troops are moving to engage them now.", the battle droid commander responded before Katuunko put his mask back on and saw what was going down nearby.
"I hope the General reaches the rendezvous point.", Rys spoke.
"That makes both of us.", Tilla panted in agreement.
"This should buy him time.", Jek responded before firing at the Super Battle Droids, which still pressed forward, firing their lasers, forcing them and Tilla to retreat further up until the Super Battle Droid launches a rocket at Lieutenant Thire's leg before it made contact near it, exploding and knocking him off as he grunted, alerting Tilla to turn back around and notice him on his back with his Gun on the ground.
"THIRE!", Tilla shouted in fright before rushing to him in fear as Rys and Jek followed before Tilla hugged him tightly out of fear that her time had already come, panting quickly out of fear and panic.
"Lieutenant, can you walk?", Rys asked worriedly.
"I think I'm okay.", Lieutenant Thire responded.
"Die, Republic dogs!", the super battle droid shouted as he blasted at Tilla and the three clones, although missing at the moment, just before Yoda jumped in, activated his lightsaber, and then reflected the lasers at the droids, relieving Tilla of her fear, only a little bit as she smiled and gave a small sigh of relief, allowing Tilla and the clones to run and hide behind a rock for cover nearby as Thire then fired at the marching droids, only getting 2 or 3.
"What are we gonna do, Master Yoda?", Tilla asked.
"Good question.", Lieutenant Thire concurred before Yoda only closed his eyes, deactivated his lightsaber, and then turned around before sitting down in a sort of criss-cross.
"What's the General doing?", Jek asked.
"Keep blasting!", Rys shouted before he and the clones did so as Tilla gasped in slight awe as she realized what Yoda was up to before her small, green master lifted his hand up, causing one of the super battle droids to be lifted up by proxy.
"Hey, what's going on?", the super battle droid puzzled before Yoda tilted his hand to a different direction, causing the super battle droid to turn around and aim at his own brethren, not of its own volition.
"Get out of the way, all of you! I'm having a serious malfunction!", the droid warned before Yoda lowered the droid.
"Don't shoot! I'm on your side!", the super battle droid spoke in vain before he got blasted to pieces before Yoda then pushed the broken droid toward the others.
"You did it, Master Yoda.", Tilla grinned.
"Heh. You found us just in time sir.", Lieutenant Thire spoke in relief.
"Left behind, no one will be.", Yoda responded.
Just then, a metallic rolling noise rang out.
"Rollers, inbound.", Lieutenant Thire spoke in slight alarm before three Droidekas arrived and then fired at the group with their force fields up and running as Yoda then deflected the lasers with his lightsaber.
"Retreat! Cover you, I will.", Yoda urged.
Then, he, Tilla, and the clones took off before Yoda, now on top of Jek's back, then deflected the laser toward one of the branches, causing it to fall on top of the droidekas, smashing them.
Meanwhile, the battle droid reported back to Ventress.
"Republic troops are injured, the Jedi is in full retreat Supreme Leader.", the battle droid reported via hologram.
"Good. Pursue them without delay.", Ventress grinned.
"The contest is not over yet.", King Katuunko spoke up before then calling for Yoda.
"Master Yoda, I hear you're having trouble with the droid army?", King Katuuno worried.
"Trouble? I know nothing of this trouble. Look forward to our meeting soon, I do.", Yoda responded before Ventress pulled away Katuunko's holo communicator and crushed it.
"The Jedi won't elude me for long.", Ventress discouraged.
Meanwhile, the group eventually arrived at the most quiet place available, which happened to be a sort of small, Canyon-like area with holes.
"Are you sure we should go in there General? There's no way out.", Lieutenant Thire warned.
"Now, rest, we must.", Yoda responded.
"Yes, master.", Tilla spoke before she and the clones followed Yoda as meanwhile, the super battle droids were marching forward along with the regular battle droids and their tanks, demolishing the branches in their paths by the sides as they moved forward.
In a cave, Tilla sat down in a criss-cross and floated before she chanted to keep herself calm.
"I'm one with the force, the force is with me. I'm one with the force, the force is with me.", Tilla chanted to herself in slight fright as the clones and Yoda spoke after a Jek lit up a lantern and set it at the center of the ground.
"We're low on ammo sir. Only 2 grenades, and 1 rocket for the launcher.", Rys spoke in slight worry.
"Against a battalion? Forget it, we've lost.", Jek discouraged.
"So certain of defeat, are you?", Yoda asked before turning on his lightsaber and then split the gun in half.
"With respect, General, maybe you should go on. Let us slow 'em down.", Lieutenant Thire suggested.
"All around us, is that with which we need to prevail, yes. Come, sit. Your helmets, remove them. Your faces, I wish to see.", Yoda spoke as he split another weapon, turned off his lightsaber, fashioning the gun into a sort of cane for Thire to use, and gave it to him before the three clones removed their helmets.
"There's not much to look at here sir. We all share the same face.", Lieutenant Thire commented.
"Deceive you, eyes can. In the force, very different, each one of you are. Rys, always focused on the enemy, are you. For inspiration, look to yourself, and those beside you. Jek, concerned about weapons, you are. Weapons do not win battles. Your mind, powerful it is. Out think the droids, you can. Thire, rush not into fights, Long is the war, Only by surviving it, will you prevail. Yes. Clones you may be, but the force resides in all life forms. Use it you can, to quiet your mind.", Yoda encouraged.
"And, Tilla.", Yoda spoke, prompting Tilla to turn to Yoda in slight surprise before calming down a bit.
"Yes, Master?", Tilla asked.
"Young and inexperienced, while you are, filled with untapped potential and powerful in the force, you are. Do anything you put your mind to, you can.", Yoda grinned, making Tilla grin in relief and joy.
At that moment, the sounds of droids marching forward came up from outside the cave.
"The droids. They're coming.", Tilla spoke with determination.
Outside, the droids were marching forward in the canyon.
"Tanks. Is that the best they can throw at us?", Rys puzzled.
"Yeah, but I've only got one shot left.", Jek responded.
"Greet them, I will.", Yoda assured as he stepped forward.
"But, Master, you don't plan to take that whole column by yourself?", Tilla worried before Yoda chuckled a bit.
"Have you four, I do. Outnumbered, are they. Know the time to help me, you will.", Yoda responded.
Then, Yoda jumped off from ledge to ledge before landing in the ground and then getting in a meditative pose.
"It's the Jedi! Block his escape! Prepare to fire!", the battle droid commander shouted as the droids aimed their guns at Yoda before reporting back to Ventress via hologram communicator.
"Supreme Leader, we found the Jedi.", the battle droid commander reported via hologram.
"Excellent. Where is he?", Ventress asked.
"He's just sitting here, in front of our tanks.", the battle droid commander responded.
"Shoot him, shoot him now!", Ventress urged.
"Quickly! Ready, Aim, Fire! Fire!", the battle droid commander urged before Yoda opened his eyes jumped up before the shots even rang out at him.
Then, Yoda activated his lightsaber after landing on the ground and then began his attack, deflecting the laser before then slashing through the droids while going underneath the tank.
"He's gone under the tank!", the Battle Droid Commander shouted in worry.
Yoda then used his lightsaber to create a hole underneath the tank before going in to attack.
"Oh no!", the droid commander shouted in worry before the door of the tank was opened with the two droids trying to escape.
"Run for it!", the other droid urged before he and the neighboring droid got sucked up and slashed to pieces.
"But...I...just...got promoted!", the battle droid commander whined before getting cut up into pieces before Yoda then got out from the top of the tank and then tossed the droid's pieces aside in the air.
"Doesn't look like the General needs help to me.", Jek grinned underneath his helmet.
Then, after deflecting a few lasers, Yoda then jumped from droid to droid, destroying them, before landing toward the tank's laser cannon and glaring at it.
"We've got him in our sights.", the 2nd battle droid commander spoke.
However, Yoda managed to jump away from the cannon in time before it hit the other tank, causing it to explode with the droids within its radius getting wrecked in the process. After that, Yoda went back for the cannon and then got on top of the lid, removing it and causing the droid to get sent up into the air, screaming as Katuunko noticed from afar via mask with a chuckle.
"That's a lot of smoke, for a surrender.", King Katuunko smirked before Ventress turned around and tried to speak to the battle droid in question.
"Report. What's going on over there? Where is 224?", Ventress asked as the 2nd battle droid commander appeared in her holo communicator.
"Destroyed, Supreme Leader. The Jedi has overrun our position and...", the 2nd battle droid began only to get attacked and slashed by Yoda.
"I think perhaps all those stories about the Jedi are true.", King Katuunko grinned.
"The fight isn't over yet, Majesty.", Ventress discouraged before pressing a button, signaling the nearby droidekas to advance and move in on Yoda.
Meanwhile, Yoda was wiping the floor with the battle droids.
"The General's cutting 'em up.", Lieutenant Thire spoke before the clones laughed only for Rys to notice the droidekas on their way.
"We've got trouble.", Rys warned, pointing toward the droidekas on the ground.
"Clankers sent reinforcements.", Rys guessed.
"General's too busy with that tank, he won't see 'em coming.", Thire worried before Tilla turned to the rocks and got an idea.
"I think I know how to deal with them, Lieutenant.", Tilla assured.
Meanwhile, Yoda finished off the last of the remaining droids as he then slashed the bottom of the tank before stopping, and then looking back to see the tank explode from inside just in time to see the droidekas arriving in front of Yoda before firing their lasers at Yoda, who reflected the lasers with his lightsaber.
Elsewhere, Thire fired a rocket before Tilla gripped the rocket with the force and then launched it toward the rocks, creating a rockslide, which then crushed utterly the droidekas.
"Yeah! Great shot, sir!", Jek grinned.
"That's givin' it to the clankers.", Rys congratulated.
Then, Tilla and the clones caught up to Jedi a Master, who was now sitting on top of one of the rocks as a couple of birds flew around him.
"Hm. Learned something today, have you lieutenant?", Yoda asked.
"I think we all did, General.", Lieutenant Thire grinned.
"What did you expect? This is my first battle, after all.", Tilla grinned before Yoda jumped off the rocks to join Tilla and the clones.
"Come. Behind schedule, are we. Not polite to be late.", Yoda responded.
Then, the group set out to their rendezvous point.
Meanwhile, Dooku appeared before King Katuunko spoke to him.
"You were right, Dooku. One Jedi is not worth 100 battle droids. More like, 1,000. I'm sorry, but I will be joining the Republic.", King Katuunko decided.
"I urge you to reconsider, wise king. I promise you won't regret it.", Count Dooku pleaded.
"Your agent also promised me Yoda would get a fair fight. I will not deal with those who break their words.", King Katuunko refused.
"So be it. Perhaps our negotiations will be more fruitful with your successor. Ventress, kill him!", Dooku ordered.
Then, Ventress activated her lightsabers, surprising the king and prompting the guards to open fire at Ventress, who deflected the blasts and pushed them away, aiming to slay him, only for Tilla to stop the sabers with her own.
"What?!", Ventress exclaimed in surprise before noticing Tilla.
"Are we late?", Tilla smirked, holding Ventress' lightsabers at bay with her own just before Rys and Jek blasted the droids, destroying them.
"Jedi Master Yoda. I am very pleased to meet you, at last.", King Katuunko greeted.
"Share the feeling, I do, King Katoonku.", Yoda assured before pushing Ventress back.
"Failed you, Ventress has, Count.", Yoda spoke.
"I don't fear you, Jedi.", Ventress spoke.
"Strong, you are with the dark side, young one. but not that strong.", Yoda spoke before using the force to take her lightsabers.
"Still much to learn you have. Surrender, you should.", Yoda suggested before giving back her lightsabers, only for Ventress to press the button on the igniter, causing an explosion as a distraction as she escaped in the ship while Tilla and Yoda stopped the crumbling rocks before moving them away.
"She's gone.", Tilla spoke.
"Hm. In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.", Yoda spoke.
"It's a pity I wasn't there in person, my old master.", Dooku spoke via hologram.
"A pity, indeed, my fallen apprentice.", Yoda spoke before the call from Dooku ended as the hologram disappeared before Yoda turned to Katuunko.
"Perhaps now, begin negotiations, we can.", Yoda grinned.
"That is not necessary, my friend. You have my faith. Toydaria would be honored to host a Republic base. My people, are at your service.", Katuunko spoke as he drew out his sword and then sheathed it back in before giving it to Yoda.
"Your Majesty, fail you, we will not.", Yoda assured.
"And we'll make sure of it.", Tilla added before the republic warships arrived to pick up both Tilla, Yoda, the clones, Katuunko, and his guards before they all stepped forward on one of them and the ships then took off toward the republic cruiser.
A/N: So, what do you think so far? Pretty great, right? There's bound to be a new chapter sooner or later (preferably not too soon as I have my hands tied with other stories as is). But with that in mind, I will try to make due for certain chapters of certain stories, and get some updating done, as much as I can. Until then, may the force be with you. :)
