Innoncents of Ryloth
Sarai's POV
So after months of training with Master Shaak-ti, she has finally deemed me worthy to go into battle. We have been overseeing the training of clones on Kamino. While she was training me in the ways of the force and teaching me to wield two blades. Anyway she's sent me to help out on Ryloth. Where Separatist leader Wat Tambor has taken control of the planet.
In a daring surprise attack, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his padawan, Ahsoka Tano,
defeated the space blockade guarding the planet. I'm a little jealous Anakin made knight before me, but I understand why. Now, Jedi Generals Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi and I lead a massive invasion to liberate the starving people. I'm with Obi-wan.
Obi-wan and I are charged with taking the city of Nabat. To give Master Windu and the ships a landing zone. "We need to remember why we're here. We came to aid the Twi'leks, not destroy their home" Obi-wan tells the troops. Cody then steps forward as I stand by Waxer and Boil.
"That means we'll be taking it back the hard way. Minimal destruction with blasters and droid poppers only. No rockets or detonators. Check your aim. Keep an eye out for the locals. Am I understood?" Cody asks. As Boil puts down his rocket launcher.
"Sir, yes sir" they say.
"If we're here to free the tail-heads, the least they can do is get out of our way" Boil matters.
"Zip it Boil, unless you want to lose to me in a sparing match again" I tell him.
"Sorry Commander" he says.
"Everything ok back there Sarai?" Obi-wan asks me.
"Yes master" I assure him. Just then a hologram of Master Windu appears in front of us. As I hear explosions outside.
"We can't risk landing the larger transports until you take out those guns" he states.
"Pull back, we'll take care of it" Obi-wan tells him and the hologram disappears. I sense my clone brothers dying and hate it. I'm more in-tuned with the force now of other living creatures. I'm learning to stay focused on the present while using the force to sense things around me. "Who's up for a challenge? We're not getting any reinforcements until those guns are out of commission" he states.
"You should know Master, I never back down from a challenge" I tell him.
"Here we go again" Waxer says. The blast doors opened and we were dropped off. We head for Nabat. We soon reach the city wall. The droids start to fire and we take cover. I take out one saber. No point using two unless I have to.
The troops start to fire back. As Obi-wan and I ignite our sabers. "Come on, men, let's go! Go, go, go!" Cody orders. "That bunker is going to be a problem general" he states.
"I can handle it Obi-wan" I tell him.
"Go, take two troopers with you" he tells me.
"Waxer, Boil on me" I order and they follow me. As the others lay down cover fire. "Throw the droid poppers as hard as you can, I'll do the rest" I tell them. They nod and do so. I have the poppers fly over the wall into the two towers.
"Ghost company, let's move!" Cody orders and he leads the way with Obi-wan.
"Lets go boys" I tell Waxer and Boil. We join the fight. We overrun the village perimeter. Obi-wan looks through his binoculars.
"The wall is secure, sir. Are we moving on to the guns?" Cody asks.
"We need to know what the droids have in store for us" Obi-wan states.
"I could scout ahead master" I offer.
"Not alone" he tells me. "Send your two best men with her Cody" he orders. Honestly, I don't need baby sitters.
"Will do, sir" Cody assures him. "Boil, Waxer come with us" he orders. We're given our orders and set out.
"Commander, would it of not been better if you went alone? It'd be more stealthy" Waxer states.
"I know, but Master Obi-wan seems to think I need baby sitters" I tell him. He chuckles with Boil.
"No offense Commander, but you can take care of yourself" Boil states.
"Especially since you resumed your training" Waxer adds.
"I know, but I am a padawan" I remind them. "Now this is a stealth mission, so keep chatter to a minimum" I tell them. They nod their heads.
(Time skip)
We found a young Twi'lek girl called Numa. She lead us to her old home. Where Waxer handed her her old doll. She hugged both him and Boil. Then me and I sense danger. Drawing one of my sabers. "What is it commander?" Waxer asks me.
"Gutkurr, seal the door" I order. Thy do so and the Gutkurr try to ram the door down. "Is there another way out?" I ask Numa in Twi'leki. Her native language. She nods and points to a rock. She goes to move it. "Waxer, Boil help her. I got the doors" I tell them.
"You won't be able to hold is alone commander" Waxer tells me.
"That's an order" I tel him as I use the force on the doors to hold them in place. Boil helps her open the trap door.
"The window" Boil shouts and Waxer shoots the Gutkurr. I back away from the door heading for the trap door. "Commander!" Boil shouts.
"Go, I'm right behind you" I tell him. He followed the others and I jump through the roof. I take off along the roof tops. I soon find the rest of our company. As they trapped a group of gutkurr. "Not bad master" I state as I jump down beside him.
"Where are Waxer and Boil?" he asks me.
"We got separated" I tell him sheepishly. We see a manhole cover move and Obi-wan lights his saber. "At ease Master, it's Waxer and Boil" I tell him as they appear.
"Waxer, Boil, where have you two slackers been?" Cody demands.
"Sir, there is an explanation" Boil assures him.
"We got sidetracked" Waxer adds as Numa appears beside them. I smile, happy she is safe. "Good to see you alive commander" he tells me.
"Was there any doubt?" I ask him.
"I think I see what sidetracked you" Obi-wan states smiling at her as she hides behind Boil. He kneels in front of her saying hello in English.
"She brought us here through the tunnels. Knows her way around them pretty good, sir" Waxer states. Obi-wan asks her if she could lead us to the guns through the tunnels. She says she can. Cody was sent with the main force to distract the droids. While Obi-wan, Waxer, Boil and I sneaked up from behind with the girl.
It worked and we freed the people of Nabat. Securing the landing zone for our cruisers. Numa was reunited with her father. Waxer and Boil found out what 'Neera' meant. "You did well today Sarai" Master Obi-wan tells me.
"Thank you master" I say.
"Though I noticed, you did not use your second saber" he states.
"Why use it when I can defeat droids with one?" I ask him. "Besides, it pays to have secret skill should the need arise. It'd through my opponents off balance. If I started fighting with a single blade, then suddenly switched to two" I state.
"That is wise" he tells me.
"Indeed and it may save your life" Windu adds.
"So what's next?" I ask them.
"Now we have a more difficult objective. We must take the capital and free this world" Windu states. I nod my head and fall back to walk with the troops. Letting the two masters talk.
