We were soaring through the air, free falling out of our ship and to the grounds of Onderon. I held my stomach trying to keep down any sickness. The 6 of us carefully landed on our feet. Some of us on the floor, me personally, I landed on a tall branch.

"Show off." Anakin muttered from below me, I smiled cheekily at him.

We scattered through the dense forest, feeling our way. Hoping only to be spotted by the right people at the drop site. I see below Anakin and Gree are the ones found.

"Stop." The woman on her beast says, "Identify yourselves."

"It's alright," Anakin takes his hood off, "we're friends."

"Jedi.." She mutters to herself. That's when Obi-Wan, Gree, Ahsoka, and I come out of our hiding areas.

"I'm General (Y/L/N). We're here to help you take back your planet." I tell her.

"My name is Steela." The young girl introduces herself, "I can guide you back to our secret base." She nods.

Lurking in the shadows of the forest we creep through. The morning sun begins to rise and all this walking begins to make me feel dizzy but I am able to stabilize myself. Despite Anakin taking notice of my uneasiness.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes. Probably just a little dehydrated is all." I say.

"Here." He reaches into Gree's bag for a canteen. He hands it to me.

"Thank you." I nod, drinking a few sips to steady myself.

"Are we almost there?" Ahsoka asked, Steela who was now walking with us.

"Yes." She said. After about 10 minutes more, we came to a large arch. There perched a man on a beast similar to Steela's but with wings.

When we walked onto their grounds, it was almost as if everyone stopped to see who it was coming in. They looked at us like we were the ones to kill the ones they loved. The man on the arch came down to greet us.

"General (Y/L/N)." He greeted me, I bowed to him.

"At your service." I said, "This is General Kenobi, General Skywalker, Commander Tano, and Captain Gree." I introduced my friends.

"We're looking forward to taking a fight to those scrappin' droids." He smiled at us. He had a charming first impression. I looked at the two rebels. Both of them were considerably attractive. They had dark skin and piercing blue eyes that shown through the dirt on that caked their clothing.

"All in good time." Obi-Wan noted.

"Saw. Saw Gerrera." He introduced himself. I had met him before, on a hologram interaction where I set up this meeting. He was hard to convince.

"He fashions himself as our leader, though, no one elected him." Steela hits his arm.

"Well, leader or not, for now we're in charge. And there is much to learn." I said.

After everyone woke up, we were guided then to the front of their small band of rebels. I stood there in front of them all. I found myself searching for my old friend. I haven't had the chance to meet him officially. I found two that look similar to what he might look like now. But really only one, as his posture is one that resembles one of a senator and not a civilian.

"Now, the Separatists have strength in numbers. We're going to show you how to target, and destroy them." I transitioned into our lesson.

"To be clear, we are not here to fight your war. Just here to teach you to conduct it in the most efficient and successful way possible." Obi-Wan reminds them. The majority nods along.

"Captain Gree." I introduce my Captain.

"Let me show you how the 41st Elite Corps destroy clankers." He smiles, "First, I need volunteers to carry supplies from our entry point to half a click west."

"Shouldn't be a problem." Saw nods, his arms crossed. I could tell he wasn't excited to learn.

"Excellent." Gree said, and moves to go to the training grounds we've prepped.

On our way there I catch myself up with my old friend.

"Lux." I get his attention.

"(Y/N)." He smiled, I hugged him from impulse.

"It's good to see you again." I said as I pulled away quickly.

"It's good to see you, too." He said, his voice was so formal.

"It's been a long time. I heard about your mother, I'm so sorry." I said.

"It's not your fault. It's Dooku, I blame for my parents death." He says, strong and looking ahead.

"Well I'm glad you still have such strong ties to Onderon."

"Onderon is my home, just as much as Alderaan is yours." He told me. He put a hand on my shoulder, "Thank you for helping us take back our home."

"Have you considered rejoining the Republic Senate?" I asked, out of curiosity. He is here defending a rebellion against the Separatists.

"Even if we do take back Onderon, my beliefs won't have changed," he said, "I'm not fighting for the Republic."

"Well, what matters now is that we need each others help." I nodded. "Your mother would be proud, Lux. Your voice is strong, like hers." I told him.

"As would yours." He said before turning our attention back to Gree.

"Watch carefully." Gree demonstrated how to destroy the droids manning the tanks. He flew a small bomb into the front compartment where the canons would be manned then back flipped easily on top of the tank to do the same into the top compartment where the driver would be. He makes it look so easy.

"The front hatch controls the main blasters. While the driver in the main hatch is what controls the turret and the main cannon. You have to take out both hatches or the turret will remain operational." Ahsoka tells them, after Gree's demonstration.

"Everyone, divide into teams of two. And we'll practice an assault on both hatches." Anakin tells them. Quickly they all line up 2 by 2, I join Anakin and Obi-Wan on the side watching their drill.

Lux and Saw go first. Lux didn't exactly do as well as Saw could. He fell while trying to reach the top hatch, knocking Saw down in the process.

"Sorry about that." Lux rubs his neck, obviously embarrassed. He reaches his hand out to Saw.

"You're a terrible soldier, Bonteri." Saw growls, pushing him back into where Ahsoka stood. Ahsoka helped him up, and Steela calmed down Saw.

"I'm not sure if they're more interested in fighting the droids or each other." Obi-Wan muttered to us, taking steps further away from the drills.

"They'll learn." I defend them, "We just need time to teach them."

"Keep an eye on the quick learners. In this case, time is not on our side." Obi-Wan said, going back to Gree.

I looked back to see how they were doing. Ahsoka was bandaging up a wound on Lux's hand. I smiled, they'd make a cute couple.

"(Y/N)?" I heard Anakin next to me, "(Y/N)?"

"Hmm?" I looked up at him.

"Listen, if your going to check out other boys, at least don't do it right in front of me." He whispered.

"Like you do with Padmé." I said through my teeth, I let it slip.

"How many times do I have to tell you that nothing is happening between Padmé and I?" He got closer to me, and turned my shoulder away from the drills. "I'm allowed to have friends, go to see them and talk to them, aren't I?"

"Just as much as I am." I smiled, "I don't think it's me you'll have to be worried about with Lux anyway."

"What?" He turned back, to see his apprentice slowly still bandaging his hand. Over doing it really.

"I would never cheat on you." I muttered.

"Neither would I." He put his hand on the small of my back, guiding us back to the drill area.

"Aw, is this too hard for you?" Saw approached Lux, "You sure you still want to do this?"

"Of course, I do." Lux said, standing up.

"C'mon boys-" Ahsoka started.

"Sit down, boy, this isn't the Senate." Saw pushed Lux again, "You've got no talent for this."

"It's going to take a lot more than muscle to defeat the separatists." Lux defended himself.

"Politics have failed us." Saw turned his back away from him. "We don't have a choice."

"We always have a choice." Lux said.

"Then make yours." Saw turned back around. He looked about ready to punch him. I was about to butt in, when Ahsoka beat me to it.

"Stop it." Ahsoka spread the two apart, "Look in order to be successful, you'll need to be sufficient in both words and action. There will be time for both."

I look to see Anakin smiling, as Saw walks away.

"You've taught her well." I complimented him.

"Sometimes, I amaze myself." He says.

"I never thought of you as the 'teaching' type." I nudged him.

"I never thought of you as one to willingly help an old Separatist friend." He said. I glared at him.

"Sometimes this war isn't as black and white as we think." I said, "Maybe we're both just full of surprises."
