Chapter 25

After the recruitment of Maciej Lucian and Cindy Moon , Matteo Lorien Shepard was in his room and reading the Holy Bible. For him - a true Catholic with honor , the Bible was not just a holy book of the Catholic Church there. It was a catalyst for him - something that propelled him through his life. Had it not been for God , Matteo would have lost his path long ago , he would have been a nobody. Glory to God and Glory to the Holy Trinity!

Matt finished reading the page and moved on to the next. His favorite quotes from scripture were.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

"I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

For Matteo, God existed and will always exist. In his collection he had an ordinary Bible as well as the famous Gutenberg Bible, the first printed book in history. So what if it's just a few pages , the important thing is that it's sacred writing. Matt put the Bible down on a small glass table. His stomach began to burp. He walked over to the refrigerator and took a burrito out of it. He closed the refrigerator and put the Mexican food in the microwave.

After one minute , Matteo took the food out of the microwave and went to the glass table. He gave the Bible to the shelf. He returned to the table and began to eat his meal . He turned on the movie 'Training Day' on his TV.

"Glory to the GOD. Amen!" Matt said to himself lifting the burrito upwards , then began to eat while simultaneously watching the flim.

After finishing his meal, Matteo's communicator began to ring. The Earthman used the Force and pulled it. After a moment, he answered the call.

"Who is this?" He said to the communicator.

"Arla Jareni. Could you perhaps come to us? I would like , you to see something. More to experience. It's very . . .. . . It clears the mind. " She explained.

"Sure. I'll be there soon," Matteo replied.

"I'm glad , you will join us" Jareni hung up. Matteo got up from the couch and walked over to the TV and turned it off.

"My ***** " He said leaving his room.

A few minutes later, Matteo was in Arla Jareni and Damian Reese's room. Together they meditated delving into the stillness and silence in the Force. Their minds slowly merged with the Force.

"Now Matteo Shepard. Go back in time and remember the worst day of your life. This applies to you too Damian - here's the lesson for today," Umbarian explained.

"And you master what will you do?" Damian asked while still keeping his eyes closed.

"I will be watching you from the side. Rest assured , you won't die - fortunately, that's not how it works." Arla gave them a reassuring look. Matteo began to deepen into the Force. Slowly, a new world began to form.

19 BBY | Christophsis Space

The Star Destroyer was in space above the planet Christophsis. Matteo Shepard had finally accomplished his task of catching the last Separatist fleet. After a long chase and liberating planets from the hands of the sinister organization. His Star nizard suffered a lot during the fighting and is now being repaired by the prez of all the mechanics teams.

Matteo was on the bridge and looked at the planet - it was like a very rare stone , which was mined and shown to the world. Christophsis was one of Shepard's favorite planets - this world relaxed his eyes.

Master Arla Jareni entered the bridge along with her padawan Damian Rees and Commander CC-2003 'Majima'. They all approached the Earthman , to have a word with him.

"How is the repair going?" Matteo asked while looking at the planet. Majima was the first to speak.

"We are trying our best. The hyperdrive has suffered the most - it's because of these many jumps into hyperspace" He explained

"It suffered because YOU didn't give up Shepard. You succeeded in your goal , but at what cost?" Arla added.

"Exactly , master ? When will we return to Coruscant? You promised me , that I would meet with my friends. Please master you promised!" Damian called out bringing his attention to himself. Arla looked at him with her white eyes.

"Damian, as I have said more than once we will return Coruscant and you will meet your friends. You must learn patience." Arla explained to the padawan. She then stroked his head. Reese smiled - there is still hope of meeting his friends.

Majima, who was standing next to Damian, took off his helmet and began scratching his head. He felt the heat warming his skull , felt his brain evaporate. He left his commanders and then left the bridge.

The heat began to warm more strongly in his skull. Majima's comrades stood in front of the holostat waiting for a message. After a while, a mysterious persona with a hood over his body and a frown on his face said:

"Execute Order 66"

"Will be done my lord" The heat in Majima's head consumed him. He put his helmet on his head and without a shadow of any emotion said to his comrades: "The Jedi attacked the chancellor while betraying the Republic and its people. We have orders to kill all Jedi , no exceptions "

"Yes sir," the clones said loudly. Majima opened the door and entered the bridge with his soldiers.

Arla Jareni felt a pain in her heart - she felt numerous bonds being torn apart. Her headache ripped through her mind . Tears began to flow from Damian's eyes , he did not know what was happening.

"Master?" The boy turned to the Umbarian . Jareni looked at him with a painful grimace on her face.

"Something has happened my padawan. I don't know what , but we must notify the Jedi council."

Then Majima and his soldiers entered the bridge and pointed their blasters in their direction. Matteo , not knowing what was happening, stood in the middle.

"Majima what is the meaning of this?" He growled at him.

"Orders from the Supreme Chancellor. We are to kill all the Jedi" He explained. So it's all clear - Palpatine betrayed the Jedi , and he's a dick. He lied to everyone around him. Anger flared up in Matteo - he had no time to argue. He took a deep breath and let the air out.

"Awww, you motherfuckers." Matteo began laughing - Okay. Alright. I'm putting cases on all you bitches! Huh. You think you can do this shit. Majima! You think you can do this to me! You motherfuckers will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you! SHU program, *****. 23 hour lockdown! I'm the man up in this piece! You'll never see the light of.....who the fuck do you think you're fucking with? I'm the commander , I run shit around here. You just listen to my orders ! Yeah, that's right, you better walk away ! Go on and walk away, 'cause I'm gonna burn this motherfucker down. King Kong ain't got shit on me! - he let out the air grabbing his lightsaber -That's right, that's right. Shit, I don't, fuck. I'm winning anyway, I'm winning... I'm winning any motherfucking way. I can't lose. Yeah, you can shoot me, but you can't kill me. - He finished by clasping his lightsaber.

"Open fire!" Ordered CC-2003 . Matteo began deflecting bullets in various kerosene trying not to hit Jareni Rees , who were still agitated by what had just happened . Clones listlessly fired at their now former superior . The clones - people created from Jango Fett's DNA - not only retained their face , skin , hair and eyes , but also their skill with weapons . They shot more accurately as best portafili slowly walking forward, while forming a small tight circle. The wave of bolts forced Shepard to create a field that would stop all the bolts. When he did, the clones launched an attack. Matt smiled.

"Adios , amigos," he said in Spanish and sent all the bullets towards the Republic soldiers. The shots pierced the armor and then the bodies . They all fell to the ground dead - blasters hit the floor. Damian Reese - a young padawan , who is highly praised not only by Arla but also the other Jedi masters issued a soft sob hugging his master .

"I'm scared," he said , as tears soaked Arla's white robe. Jedi Master crouched down and hugged her student releasing her feelings.

"I know Damian I know. I am by your side. I promise - I will defend you until the very end. I'm proud of you , you're the best padawan I've ever had, you'll always be for me like the son I love the most," Arla confessed as her tears flew down her glad face. Damian snuggled into her more kissing her left cheek

"I love you . . . Mom," Reese reciprocated. Arla let go of him and kissed him on the forehead making him smile. Matteo smiled - how much , he would have given to have his own mother kiss him like that. He switched off his lightsaber and picked up his blaster - he sensed someone approaching the bridge. It wasn't the next clones but Shepard's friends - Rosario Anderson , Tanner Jones , David Lang , Michael Resen and Ursula Contreao. They all approached Matt.

"Are you okay?" David asked looking at his surroundings.

"Yes , the clones have betrayed us. The entire star destroyer is against us. In a word - we are in hell" Matteo commented

"Maybe we are not" Ursula corrected her weapon - "Maybe we will give them hell!".

Then Matt sensed two squads of clones walking towards the command center. Wave one was over - time for wave two
