On the school roof top of Gosha Academy one of the students was laying on her back looking up at the evening sky. As she was observed all that was above the sound of foot steps could soon be heard approaching the young student. The person was that was approaching the sky-oberserving student was the one of the teachers Asagi Igawa and the student was none other then her young sister Sakura Igawa.

"Sakura, what are you still doing here, everyone else has already left." Asagi said.

(This is Asagi...)

"Oh sorry big sis, I guess I just lost track of time watching the evening sky." Sakura answered.

(This is Sakura...)

"And why are you sky-watching?" Asagi asked stopping just a couple feet from where her younger sister was laying down. 

"Just something to do while pondering my thoughts." Sakura answered stretching a little.

"Thoughts on what?" Her older sister asked.

"Wondering if there are other people beyond the stars." Sakura answered. "It would be interesting to meet someone else who is from a different planet or from a different galaxy." 

"What made you start thinking that?" Asagi asked. 

"Just a thought that came to mind earlier today." Sakura said. "It would be so cool though!"

"Well, now that you say that..." Asagi started as she then looked up to the sky. "Knowing, that we are not the only people in the galaxy would be an interesting discovery."

"Yeah." Sakura agreed. 

"But on a serious note, we need to be leaving." Asagi reminded. "We don't want dinner to be cold now do you?"

"Nah, I prefer it hot." Sakura said as she then leaped onto her feet.

"Well then, best we left then." Asagi as she turned around leaving to the door with her younger sister following close behind. But before leaving the roof Sakura took one last look at the evening sky.

'I wonder if their are others out there beyond the stars.' Sakura thought to herself. Little did she and her sister know that they would get their answer sooner then expected.

Meanwhile in a another star system far away...

Date: 6 BBY

Location: The planet of Lothal

On the city capital of the planet Lothal people were just going about their normal business just like any other day. However, their was the occasional stormtrooper or two patrolling around making sure everything was in order. You see the Empire was keen to law and order by using 'fear' to make sure no one would disrupt the peace. But then again, not everyone would follow the rules of the Empire especially those who remembered the times before the empire rose to power, before the Jedi were accused of treason and hunted down. 

On one of the roof tops overlooking a small speeder-bike column just moments away from departing for their destination were a couple of clone ARC Troopers waiting for the right moment to strike.  One of the clones had red markings on his armor while the other had blue markings to distinguish their rank as the red marked clone was the rank of captain and the blue marked clone was a lieutenant. 

"So once the general makes her move to stop the convey we step in and finish the job right Fordo?" The lieutenant ARC asked. 

"Dess, were on a mission right now refer to me as 'captain." The ARC captain said now named Fordo. "And yes, once she stops the speeders and distracts them we go in and ambush them and take the supplies we need, clear?"

"Crystal, captain." Dess replied. Just then the speeder-bike drivers boarded their speeders with a couple of crates hooked up to their bikes. "Here they come."

Just as soon as he said that the 4 speeder convey then started their way to their destination with the leader guiding the others where they were going. But just as the lead speeder was about to come out of the alleyway they were suddenly block by a land speeder forcing them to come to a halt. The person driving the speeder was of female origin wearing what looked like a female version of phase 1 clone trooper armor painted brown with tan accents and a kama.

(Like this except she doesn't have her lightsaber out...)

"How's it going imps?" the woman asked before jumping out of the speeder and kicking the leader driver off his bike and then shooting him in the chest with her DC-15s carbine blaster. After that she then took cover behind the first speeder bike as the other drivers soon pulled out their E-11 blasters and started shooting back at the unknown intruder. But the blaster fire caught the attention of a group of 5 stormtroopers who then ran to aid the speeder drivers. But as they ran to the scene another clone ARC trooper with gray and blue painting on his armor came out of his hiding spot and then went after the stormtroopers from behind. 

Just as the squad of stormtroopers came to aid the drivers one of them in cover noticed another ARC trooper coming up from behind them. Before he could warn the others the speeder driver was then punched in the face and knocked out and then the ARC pulled out his twin DC-17 blaster pistols and picked off the rest of the imperial forces with ease. After defeating the imperial forces Dess and Fordo then hopped down from their roof-top position and gathered up around the speeders with the crates. 

"You have a hard-time holding back don't you Madlad?" Dess asked the ARC in gray.

"What can I say? I like getting up-close and personal with the enemy." Madlad answered twirling his twin blaster pistols before putting them back in their holsters before turning his attention to the person wearing brown clone trooper armor. "Nice move stopping the speeders that way general."

"You didn't do so bad yourself." Mevenn said. "But before we celebrate we need to get back to the ship asap!"  

"Right!" All the clones replied and mounted onto the speeders and then threw them into reverse backing up from where they first started. However an Imperial officer saw them taking the bikes and the supplies they were carrying with and saw them take off running. 

"HEY! Oh for the love of... this is lieutenant Brain 4 armed individuals have killed the crew of the speeders and are heading to the city exit with the supplies!" The officer shouted. "Stop them at all cost!" 

Meanwhile back with the group they were speeding down alleyways trying to find the main-road to escape the city. But as they rounded another corner as line of 6 more stormtroopers were there waiting for them and then started shooting at the group to stop them. But fortunately for the group the Imperials aim was really bad and they soon they were all shot down by Mevenn from her DC-15s and they soon drove on the dead bodies of the stormtroopers. Soon after the group then finally made their way on the main road and the exit was finally in their sights. But as soon as they made it through the exit they were soon spotted by two imperial bike troopers who then took off after them shooting their speeders blasters at the Republic rebels. 

Fordo then took out one of his DC-17 blaster pistols and started shooting back at the two to stop them from chasing them. The two imperials dodged and weaved through Fordo's shots and managed to hit the rear of Madlad's bike but not destroying it however this angered him and he grabbed a thermal detonator from his belt and armed it. Within a couple seconds he then threw it at the bike troopers and detonated between the two knocking them off balance and falling off their bikes.

"That will show them not to shoot at me!" Madlad cried out. 

The group then sped out of the city limits escaping the imperial chaser and onto the flat grass lands of the planet. But as they rode fast across the grasslands a lone TIE-fighter started firing down at the group of speeders. But just before the Imperial fighter could land hits on them it was suddenly shot out of the sky. The four rebels looked up and saw that their ride off the planet had arrived and it was their U-Wing transport starfighter. The group then slowed down as the ship came to a stop just in front of the group as opened revealing a young girl with blue hair at the doorway. 

"I believe you all need a lift?" The girl asked.

"Yes Jay, that would be most helpful." Mevenn replied looking back and saw 4 more TIE fighters approaching them at a fast rate. "Get the crates in the transport and leave the speeders!"

Everyone then leaped into action getting the 8 crates into the U-Wing as fast as they could before the TIE's could get any shots on them. Lucky for them they had done this sort of thing many times before when stealing stuff from the empire to survive. 

"Here's the last one!" Dess shouted before pushing the last crate into the transport ship. "Lets get out of here!" 

The side doors then closed as the U-Wing took to the skies with the TIE fighters closing the distance behind the group. Just then green laser bolts fired out from the Imperial fights twin cannons with intent on destroying the rag-tag group of rebels that had just stolen property of the Empire. 

"Well, it looks like you got their attention alright Mevenn." The pilot of the U-Wing said as he flew the ship avoiding the cannon fire. 

"Well, we tried our best to not drawl too much attention Radian." Mevenn answered and now identified the Pilot as Radian. "Hey RedJaws, prep the hyperdrive so we can make the jump to hyperspace so we can get away."

"Way ahead of you general!" RedJaws replied. RedJaws was also a clone ARC Trooper during the days of the GAR and he was the co-pilot of the U-Wing. "We just need to get some distance from those TIE's and we will be clear!" 

As the group made their way out of the planets atmosphere the 4 TIE fighters were still hot on their tail trying to prevent them from escaping. As this was happening one of the pilots took careful aim and then fired hitting the U-wing in between the two top engines. However that same shot caused RedJaw jerk forward accidently hitting the button to the hyperdrive.

"Oh no..." RedJaws muttered. Everybody else then noticed the hyperdrive powering up.

"What happened?" Mevenn asked.

"I just accidently activated the hyperdrive and the coordinates aren't put in correclty!" RedJaws replied.

"Well shut it down!" Jay cried out.

"I can't it won't let me!" RedJaws replied as he was trying to shut it down but to no avail. 

"Well lets just hope we don't end up somewhere bad!" Dess said as he and the others buckled down to their seats.

Then after the hyperdrive powered up all the way both Radian and RedJaws looked out to the front and saw the familiar sight of the hyperspace tunnel appear around them as they took off to wherever the coordinates were set to. The TIE fighters that were pursuing the ship broke off seeing that their target was now gone. But they figured with a quick jump to lightspeed like that the chances were that they would crash into a star or something else. 

They couldn't have been more wrong...
