22 BBY

A galaxy divided into war. Peaceful worlds must choose sides or have a threat of invasion. Republic and Separatist armies vie for the allegiance of neutral planets.

General Anakin Skywalker and his padawan, Ahsoka Tano, are under order to protect a Republic Military Outpost on the planet Nolzu from a Separatist invasion Yet to their surprise, it was a trick laid by the enemy, and their ground troops were trapped. In need of backup, the general is sent someone from the past.

Sitting in the ETA-2 starfighter, our mystery Jedi stares into the blue, black, and white stripes fly by her. Though the Jedi has travelled through hyperspace millions of times, she never just sat and gazed that the wonder of it all. Truly never cease to amaze her. The moment was ruined by her commlink going off.

"General Lupus, do you copy?" spoke Admiral Yularen voice

"Clear as a kaiburr crystal, Admiral," replied our Jedi, "And before you ask, yes, I'm still going through with my plan,"

"Taking a whole Separatist blockade by yourself, even for a Jedi, that seems impossible," stated the Admiral

"Don't worry about me Admiral, after being stuck in a meditation session with younglings, I'm looking forward to some action,"

The Jedi pulled out of hyperspace to see the golden brown planet of Nolzu. It shined like a new penny. The only thing ruining the view was three Separatist ships cruising just above the atmosphere.

"Say your final words now, Admiral, for the 'Green-Tie' is about to kick some droids," the commlink between the two cut off before Yularen could open his mouth

He let out a heavy sigh; "I now see why the council chose her,"

On the planet's surface, another fierce battle raged as General Skywalker, Commander Tano, and the 501st battalion fought to thwart the Separatist army's attempts to capture and overrun the small Republic Military Outpost. It looked as if the battle droids were getting the upper hand. This didn't go well with Skywalker.

"Where are our reinforcements?!" he yelled, cutting down yet another droid

"They should be arriving any moment now, sir," responded Skywalker's captain, shooting two droids down

"Admiral Yularen better hurry,"

"Master look!" cried a young togruta, pointing to the sky

Clear as the night sky, the ground troops could see a Separatist war ship being blown up by something invisible. Whatever it was, it was dealing heavy blows, which affected the clankers down on the surface. Anakin looked utterly confused, yet glad. Soon, all of the droids have been taken care of, and the blockade was getting the full force of the reinforcements Anakin asked for. With the battle won, gunships were sent to the surface to help bring more weapons and return the wounded. Admiral Yularen was aboard one of those coming down.

"I would say congrats on the victory, but I believe that wasn't fully your doing Admiral," Anakin stated as Yularen stepped out of the gunship he was in

"You're absolutely right, sir. The entire decoy wasn't part of my initial strategy, yet it all worked out in the end," remarked the Admiral

"Then who's plan was it?" asked Skywalker's padawan

"LOOK OUT!" cried a clone trooper as a starfighter landed in such speed. It created a huge dust cloud

In the cloud, a figure jumped out of the ship's cockpit. When the dust cleared, a face of a tan skinned woman, hair braided in cornrows, eyes gleaming with joy and dressed in your classic Jedi robes.

"General Skywalker," smirked General Lupus backflipping off her starfighter, "Since when did you have a padawan?"

"I have a name," Skywalker's padawan said, crossing her arms

"Yes, the amazing Ahsoka Tano, you're quite popular with my students at the temple," General Lupus stated

"Like master like padawan," said Anakin

"Quite so," spoke the Admiral, "But now we have other pressing things to attend to, like fortifying this base,"

"Why, we destroyed the droid army and their commander ship," said Ahsoka

"That was just the first wave. We got intel that more ships and droids are on rotate," General Lupus said

"Well, we have to prepare for the worst, Rex, begin setting up a defence perimeter around the base, have scouts placed to watch for the coming army," Anakin commanded

"Yes, sir, on it," said Captain Rex, saluting his General, then left

"Well, Ms., ah, I didn't quite catch your name, General...," Anakin said

"What is the fun of telling you when you can figure it out yourself," smirked the female General, walking into the base, the Admiral following her
