Narrator: Monster on the loss. Following the betrayal of Asajj Ventress at the hands of her master, the night sisters gave Dooku a new apprentice but no one knows his true intentions.

(Serreno palace).

The landscape of Serreno was breath taking to Avona but she couldn't sight see she was here for a purpose.

Dooku had summoned her to meet his new apprentice who avona was uneasy about.

The reports from Seaver on were most troubling to the young general in regards to one particular issue.

There were 12'000 droids deployed to take the temple which was held by 2 Jedi and 2'800
Clones.

And yet the report indicated all droids were destroyed and clones killed. So how was the victory achieved.

After reviewing the hologram recordings Avona learned that a Zabrack had been deployed to capture the enemy base. However this maniac has destroyed both clones and droids alike and then brutally killed the Jedi.

It was his rage that scared Avona. 'If he's Dookus apprentice then I fear what happens if we give him a lightsaber. He's just as much a threat to our own troops as he is the republics.' Avona thought grimly.

She was so deep in her thoughts she didn't notice Dooku approaching her an her escort.

"Ah General Avona a pleasure to see you again." Dooku says warmly.

"The honor is mine my lord." Avona replies bowing before Turning his gaze to the large Zabrack. "I assume this is your apprentice who you wanted to show me." Avona questions.

"Yes may I present Savage oppress a warrior with raw power unmatched." Dooku presents his apprentice proudly.

At first glance avona wasn't gripped by fear rather she was unimpressed.

If he was truly all brawn's no Brain then he would be useless against more skilled Jedi like Kenobi, skywalker, plo and windu.

"A pleasure warrior." Avona chose to be polite cause even if she was skilled it didn't mean that this guys raw power was something she wanted to be on the receiving end of.

Savage never replied instead he simply nodded his head acknowledging Avona.

"Now I'm afraid we will have to cut introductions short. My apprentice here is being deployed to Toydaria."

Avona's face immediately turned to confusion.

"Is he leading an army there to take the planet." Avoan questioned doubtfully as she noted that there had been no fleet in the atmosphere when she arrived.

"No he isn't." Dooku replied with an evil
Smile. "He's going to convince their king to simply see reason to to join the Confederacy."

Avona's blood ran cold as she followed the count. She knew that type of a mission would most likely result in the death of the king or his tourture both of which avona was opposed to but she held very little hope in stopping Dooku from doing this.

(Republic senate).

As far as anyone could tell the senate was all out chaos. For the last 3 weeks since Ryloth had declared neutrality and no longer associated with either side the senate was in a dilemma.

On one side former Senator Taa demanded an invasion force go and reclaim Ryloth by force regardless of the new neutrality policy it had.

And the other side demanded that they respect the peace and not attack since the republic was already stretched thin trying to contain separatist attack especially in the regions of the outer rim where Avona operated,

"The separatist control the planet ryloth we must step in and stop them." Senator Delhi declared to the senate.

Many cheered for this action.

"We are already dangerously overstretched and we can't risk launching any more campaigns against the separatist unless we know that the separatists are directly involved in planetary affairs." Senator Farr argued back.

"They are involved. that devil woman worked with ten traitor Cham Syndulla to undermine ryloths legitimacy and now my people
Are surely suffering." Taa argued scooping his agreement with an invasion.

"You act like you do not know the state of your people's condition shouldn't you be aware of that even now." Padme questioned.

"Are you suggesting I care not for my people." Taa says irritated.

"I'm not claiming that but the treaty as outlined by Confederacy General Avona and Ryloth General Syndulla states you may continue to represent Ryloth but any direct involvement is forbidden.

then you should be aware of yours people's condition."

They're were many murmurs in agreement with this statement.

"I'm sure Senator Taa has been very stressed and overworked which has resulted in him being away from Ryloth." Senator Burtoni reasoned.

"Nonetheless I am opposed to an invasion and I wills stem by that. Alderan was attacked by the separatists and I fear just how far Avona's reach is if we violate that treaty." Organa says affirming his position.

Many senators odds sin agreement since they knew avona was a very capable and dangerous commander.

And her attack on alderan had been such a shock it opened the eyes of many senators on how real the separatist threat was.

"I say we continue this debate later." Palpatine announced trying to calm the senate.

When they're were no objections all senators one by one left the senate chambers.

"We have to stop any military action on neutral worlds or else we risk the confederacy bearing down harder on us." Farr says worriedly.

He recognized more than most that avona was usually the separatist attack dog when it came to situations like that and she knew how to manipulate the battle to her favor.

"The biggest issue is our lack so far of decisive victories against the enemy. If we could hit something vital we could defeat the confederacy." Mothma added.

"How are we supposed to do that the droid army is numerous and would take massive efforts to crush their armies.

And their navy is scattered everything and the major ship yards like Raxon are out of our range." Organa argued.

Padme who had been silent for the last few minutes spoke up.

"It matters not. A decisive victory would be good but not achieve us a win in this war.

And our careless use of resources will cost us dearly and the senate has yet to propose any motions to combat that problem." Padme admitted "all we can do is try to push policies that can lead the republic to victory and ensure peace at all cost."

(Toydaria system).

The calamity sat in orbit of Toydaria awaiting the warrior savage to complete his mission. However doubts were everywhere.

Avona and her officers were uncomfortable with invading a neutral world even one controlled by the hutts.

However Avona also knew that if the plan failed and the king was killed then Toydaria would fully support the republic and grant them a vital hyperspace lane that would put separatist systems at risk.

It was for that reason unbeknownst to Dooku that Avona was undertaking a secret operation to ensure the king wasn't killed and Toydaria either stayed neutral or at least wouldn't associate with the republic.

"Mam. The troopers are in position to move in." TX-1943 reported.

"Good I will go and attempt to sway Dooku to see reason so he doesn't kill us for diverging from his plan." Avona declared heading to Dookus office.

"My lord." Avona bows to Dooku.

"What is it General I sense that you are here to inform me of something I may or may not like." Dooku replied coldly.

"Yes sir. You see do to your apprentice rage filled tendencies I believed that in order to secure confederacy interests I have dispatched a team of Morelian elite troopers to capture the king should Savage fail." Avona says without stuttering.

"And what makes you think he will fail."

"Sir with all due respect he is unstable if Jedi find us here and meddle with the plan he will most likely kill the king in a blind rage." Avoan argues back.

Dooku finally opened his eyes and stared into Avona trying to sense deception with her intentions.

"Very well General. Should he be captured I'll let you handle the negotiations." Deciding it was better to see Avona's negotiating skills in practice.

Dooku personally was going to torture the king of he refused to side with the separatists. But on the flip side if avona could secure them a deal that would make him most pleased.

(Toydaria surface).

Savage was furious he had the king unconscious but now two Jedi were interfering with his mission.

He struggled to parry the attacks from two Jedi while he also held the king In the other arm.

Eventually the king woke up and Savage was about to force choke him again to knock him out but then A stun blast and cables shot from below the platforms.

Looking down teh Jedi  and savage juts spot 10 men in black uniforms drag the king out of the throne room.

"Mission target secured General." The leader says into his mic robotically.

Savage fueled by rage charged the men.

However teh men simply sidestepped him and due to his swings going wide it was harder for him to deal with enemies who were keeping their distance and dodging him.

"Neutralize the warrior." The leader orders as the remaining 7 troopers fire on savage with stun blasts.

Kenobi and skywalker seeing an opportunity rush the Zabrack from behind.

Seeing his enemies close around him savage unleashes a force blast that sends the Jedi flying into a wall and the soldiers are blown into a nearby door.

"Come on we can still catch him." Obi wan urges Anakin struggling to their feet.

"Halt Jedi." A robotic voice demands as they just reach the main door.

Turning around the 8 mercenaries are on their feet weapons trained on the Jedi.

"By order of the General we can't Let you-" he continues only for a massive force push to send them all back into the wall.

"We don't have time for them." Anakin says annoyed while running out of the palace.

However seeing their ship destroyed the Jedi Borrow from the Toydaraians.

"Mam two Jedi are headed your way." The voice says revealing to be Carmiya.

"Very well Carmiya return to the ship and get back in your armor." Avona orders.

"Right two men are coming with the king." Carmiya reports while walking back to their ship which was revealed to be a stealth ship.

(The calamity).

Avona smiles victoriously as the ship carrying the king land in the main hanger.

However that smile slightly faded as she sees savages solar sailor land and out steps her soldiers dragging the Zabrack.

"Take him to Dooku." Avona orders pointing at savage. Before she made her way to the ship
Carrying the king.

"Remain here and ensure no disturbances form to me." Avona orders the B1 commander.

Entering the ship followed by rook Avona takes note of the small table in the ships main bay. On one end sits the king with two elects troopers behind him.

"I suppose I should be grateful that you saved me from that monster. Separatist." The king says venomously.

"Oh no I fully expect you to be furious with me and if you want to fight go ahead." Avona challenges glaring at the king with a look that made the king back down. "Or we can talk.

I know your planet so neutral I respect that but try to understand that sooner or later dooku will just attack again with an army that violates your neutrality. "

"And I assume you'll lead that army if we don't bow to your demands." The king retorts.

Avona simply smirks. "Oh heavens no. I respect the Naboo convention so why would I invade a neutral world. But that doesn't mean I want to see your planet destroyed in this war." She says leaning forward.

Now king katunko was intrigued. "What do you have in mind."

"Simple as you know I'm the minister of the Raxon trade guild. So if I were to establish a factory here one that merely improved your planets economy let's just say that.

If the confederacy or republic chooses to attack Toydaria teh Raxon security forces will protect our assets and since yiur planet is where the factory is we will also defend your people."
Avona declared.

"I sense there's a but coming or a catch." The king questions.

"Yes but in exchange for my protection all I ask is you maintain your neutrality and back neither side but let both travel through your hyperspace route and I'm sure you can arrange some sort of traffic control." Avona answered.

Sighing the king was torn. This was likely the best offer he would get and he knew that depending on the republic would be useless since need of Ryloths fall had spread far.

"Very well I accept." The king replies.

Just as avona is about to pull up the treaty to make it official her comm blares to life.

"General savage oppress is a traitor destroy him." Dooku orders.

"With pleasure." Avona says eager to put that Zabrack in his place like the last one."

"Take the king back to the surface we'll continue this another time." She orders to her troopers.

Exiting her ship she immediately bumps into the commander.

"Commander gather the droids and prepare to surround that door." Avona orders before turning to Carmiya now back
I'm her beskar armor.

"Carmiya, rook take the troopers and fins cover to provide support fire."

Nodding their heads the two officers immediately move to comply with Avona's orders.

Just as they get in position savage enters dueling with Kenobi and skywalker.

"FIRE." Avona tells grabbing her Morelian rifle and shooting at the Zabrack.

Anakin and Obi wan cut down the droids in their path.

"They're not after us." Anakin observes. "They're attacking that monster." He says seeing Avoan firing at Savage.

Anakin is about to give chase till Obi wan stops him.

"Anakin no let's go." He urges.

Reluctantly Anakin follows.

Seeing the Jedi flew savage lets out a roar blasting the force everywhere sending ten droids and troopers.

Running towards his ship wounded due to all the blaster bolts he tanked.

Just as he nears the ramp all of a sudden his knees are kicked. Standing up behind him avona draws her sword.

"You're not going anywhere." Avona growls lunging at him.

Savage for once finds himself slightly taken aback. Avona's grace with a blade and her almost effortless parries of his blade lead savage to putting more force behind his strikes.

Seeing an opening avona strikes and wounds the massive warrior on his harm causing him to drop his blade.

"Yield." Avona demands breathing hard.

"NEVER." Savage yells before force pushing avona into a wall. Grabbing his lightsaber he just narrowly escapes the blaster bolts from the now standing droids and troopers.

(3 hours later).

After gathering Dooku and the king the agreement signed is as follows

Toydaria maintains its neutrality but Avona is allowed to operate her own factory on Toydaria to ensure its protection of neutrality.

The king allows free use of his space lanes to either side but wants there will be no bases made in Toydaria.

Leaving the meeting Dooku is slightly unhappy but at least the republic didn't gain a new ally.

For avona she had a new mission. Her army was to continue its campaign while hunting Savage. Dooku had returned to Serreno but she made certain that Avona would handle this situation.

Pulling out her communicator she calls Morelia.

"Morelian trackers initiative orders mam." The director salutes Avona.

"Director Zeylor mobilize a tracker dictions your secondary priority is to hunt this man." Avona orders.

Nodding his head the call cuts off.

"Commander make way to Kynar and order the fleet and army to met us there." Avona orders TX-1943.

"May I ask why." The droid questions.

"Simple we're going to Invade Rendili."

An: I hope you all Allier's this story I apologize if it demented rushed but I wasn't in the mood to make another arc again so soon  after my second ryloth invasion.

I hope this story isn't too slow and if it is please tell 'me what I can do to make it better.

But that aside I want to see what do you guys think Avona wants with Rendili comment and have a great day all you awesome people.
