After force healing Hunter's ears, she had Jango take him back to his brothers which Revan was currently with along with 99. Kaede was beyond pissed at this current time as everyone filed into the assembly room. Hunter and his brothers all came in with Revan as many of the now older ade smiled at their furry ori'vod.

Kaede stayed near her special sons as Nova announced a change in the training schedule, and that if for any reason whatsoever a cadet felt unsafe around a trainer or a Kaminoan to inform their elder vode of the Alpha batch or Shaak Ti, or to Myles.

It was adorable that the Cadets hung around Myles and they all adored him because he was the few trainers that you could count on one hand to trust. When Nova was finished with her speech she stepped down from the stage and moved to speak to the Republic representative Admiral Tarkin. Nova looked at Myles who signed 'Just arrived' 

Nova nodded "Should I assume this is an act of aggression from Mandalore?" Tarkin asked

"Regardless of how they are brought into this galaxy they are Mandalorians by blood, they are my people if anyone who is being aggressive it is you, admiral," Nova said calmly, "Each and every one of them have buire, they all have names, those names and those numbers have been given to the New Mandalorian government and have been recognized as Jango and Kaede's ade, it is through the Duchess's good graces why Mandalore hasn't taken them from the republic." 

Lama Su went to speak and Jango touched the Prime Minister's arm and shook his head. Tarkin glared at her "This army is owned by the Republic, not Mandalore,"

Nova let out a warning growl that vibrated throughout the room as her fangs elongated and her eyes glowed dangerously "Do you know who and what I am?" she asked in a snarl

"A creature of a bygone age that should have been put down like the rabid Massif that you are," Tarkin said with a smirk.

Jango groaned to himself, Fiv'ika was standing right behind Tarkin, and as Nova's mate...Fives was about ready to tear into Tarkin.

*********

Fives tensed at Tarkin's words as Nova stepped closer to the Admiral "Your blood is tainted by the innocent lives you have taken, your war is building up the ranks of the Tal'gaanla, your blood calls to us, but you aren't meant to die by our hands, no. You are meant to die by someone else, my mate perhaps since you have insulted me and mine?" Nova said in a purr, "Tal'gaanla are the wrath of the Manda and Ka'ra, they know all and tell us who lives and who dies,"

Nova grinned dangerously at Tarkin her fangs on full display as Tarkin backed up and right into him. Nova snapped her fangs at Tarkin and the Anti-Clone Admiral went to running out of the room. Shakk Ti smirked in Nova's direction before turning to Ka'buir.

Nova found Revan kitty; as the younger ade would call Revan curled up on the floor with the four special cadets. All four ade slept peacefully curled up around or even on top of the Dire-cat. Revan peeled open a blue eye to see who was in the room before closing it again rather they were a threat to the Tal'gaanla or not remained to be unseen. Their abilities worried her though, in the wrong hands they could be a threat to her and her kind. The heavy set ade rolled right off of Revan's back from where they had been sleeping and right on top of the gray-haired one. The one who was now squished woke up and began to shove at his heavier brother "Get off Wrecker your squashing me!" the boy hissed.

The heavier of the four named Wrecker didn't even budge, but he let out a loud snore Nova walked into the room as the boy with the gray-haired one narrowed his eyes at her as she called upon the force to gently lift Wrecker off of his brother and lay him back upon Revan's back. She looked at the ade "Come, walk with me ad'ika, I wish to learn more about you and your brothers," she said turning to walk out of the room.

The gray-haired one huffed but followed "I will take you to see your buir Kadae so she can make sure you aren't hurt," she said

"That won't be necessary," the gray-haired one hissed, "Why do you care?" 

"Having one as young as you as something like me would be unwise," she teased jokingly.

The gray-haired ade arched a brow at her but followed all the same as they arrived at the medical bay where Jango was speaking to his sister and Kadae was working on some paperwork "Hello Nova, I see you brought one of Hunter's brothers with you," Kadae greeted, "What happened?"

"Wrecker rolled right off of Revan's back and landed on top of him," Nova replied evenly.

Jango snorted "I can only imagine what that ade will be capable of fully grown," 

"A walking Beskar wall no doubt," Nova replied.

Kadae walked over "He has bruised ribs, I am shocked that he was able to get her on his own," 

The gray-haired boy flushed slightly as Kadae used the force to put him on a bed "Lay back and hold still for me ad'ika," Kadae said soothingly.

The boy did as told as Kadae healed the boy of his injuries before handing him a sweet "Thank you," the boy said shyly

"Ad'ika what did they do to you that has you so shy?" Kadae said.

******

Jango listened closely as Arla looked over to Nova with a pissed-off look on her face as Crosshair explained about all the tests he and his brothers had to go through "Hunter's headaches should ease up, since I force healed him, none of you should have to go through what you have," his beloved said, "You are my sons, always have been regardless of how the Kaminoans see you," 

Jango knew emotions well enough to know that his ade was struggling to express how he felt until he all bolted across the bed and latched on to Kadae with a hug sobbing into her shoulder "Its alright, ad'ika, your alright now," Kadae soothed.

Crosshair fell asleep crying into his mother's shoulder she stood up gently and looked at Nova "Come on I will show you where his and his vode's room is," Nova said.

Arla followed closely behind Nova and his beloved Kadae, Jango got up as well and followed them when they arrived to the room the other three were up with 99 in near panic as Nova entered the room and put a finger to her lips "Shh, your brother's sleeping," she cautioned the other three. 

Kadae was shown where Crosshair's bed was by 99 and she laid him on top of it as Revan hopped up onto the bunk and got as close to the wall as possible for his large size and curled around his vod'ika. Jango knew enough about that overgrown furball to know when Revan could pick up on a vod'ika in distress. Once Kadae had finished tucking Cross in she turned to the other three "Alright ade, time for bed," she said.

The one with goggles tilted his head "If I may ask, why?" he asked in a polite manner that even shocked Jango

"Oh, look a Fett with manners," Nova said to him in a teasing tone.

Jango glared at her in a playful manner "Because ad'ika, I am your buir, and I said so, now to bed with you," Kadae said.

Hunter was already in bed as Tech if he remembered the name of the one with goggles looked at Kadae in shock "What is a b-b-berr?" Wrecker asked

"Parent, or parents, a mother and father if you will," Nova replied, "Jango is your father, and Kadae is your mother," 

Tech shook his head "But the Kaminoans said..." 

"The Kaminoans have been told what for by the Mand'alor no less, now get your tush in bed my little tooka eyes, before you get in trouble," Kadae warned.

Wrecker didn't need to be told twice at that point he was already in bed with a tooka plush clutched into his arms. Tech pouted "I don't have tooka eyes," he huffed

"With those goggles ade, you could use those eyes as a weapon," Nova teased lightly, "Unfortunately for you, your mother is immune to the tooka eyes, mostly due to your father," 

*******

Nova had returned to her quarters aboard the Ebon Hawk after getting things squared with the trainers and the Kaminoans, she went to her bunk and laid down, a moment later Fives joined her "Mesh'la rumor has it that you were hanging out with 99 today and what the cadets call the Bad Batchers," 

"If you are refuring to your vod'ika who are in 99's care, they were made to hunt Tal'gaanla that have turned among the vode, but they will be repurpoused now," she replied

"How can they hunt a Tal'gaanla?" Fives asked

"Hunter who is the oldest of the four, has enhanced senses and stealth, Tech who wear's goggles and can exicute amplified tooka eyes, has enhanced intellagence, Wrecker who is the bigest of the four has enhanced strenght, then Crosshair, who has gray hair, has enhanced sight," she explained as she watched Fives dekit to his bodyglove.

Fives looked at her with an arched brow "Hunter was able to sneak up on Jango," she pointed out.

Fives's eyes went wide at that "I can see where that could be a problem," 

Nova nodded and laid in her bunk in a seductive way "Are you joining me tonight?" she asked

"I am, and if I get caught the long-necks can go Kark themselves for all I care," Fives replied, "Though I am worried about Tarkin, that man...well..." 

"I know the feeling," she said, "I tried very hard not to rip his throat out," Nova replied, "Also Revan is watching over your special vod'ika also," 

"They couldn't be in safer paws," Fives said with a cheeky grin as he crawled into bed with her.

Nova rested her head on his shoulder as he curled himself around her spooning her as they both drifted to sleep...
