In the crystalline city of Chaleydonia moments after a battle between the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems had concluded, a Nu-class attack/transport shuttle had just come into view. Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were approaching the shuttle landing zone with high hopes.
"Our cruiser must be back." Obi-Wan hoped.
Obi-wan is a 1.79 meter tall middle aged man with auburn hair and beard, with blue-gray eyes. He wore a light beige jedi robe and a brown leather belt to hold his light saber, over a black body glove with pieces of armor attached. On his left pauldron was a red sigil of the Jedi order.
"Which means we'll be able to get our reinforcements." Anakin said.
Anakin is a 1.88m tall young man with dark blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore blue and maroon jedi robes with leather gloves . He also wore shoulder guards with the left on also having the sigil of the order on it, as well as Cuirass colored gunmetal gray like his pauldrons.
"Then it looks like all our problems are solved. Fresh troops, new supplies, and perhaps they brought my new Padawan with them." Obi-wan replied.
"You really think it's a good idea to bring a Padawan learner into all this?" Anakin questioned.
"I spoke to Master Yoda about it. He spoke highly about this one, supposedly one of the best for the next generation." Countered Obi-Wan, "You should put in a request for one. You'd make a fine teacher. "
Anakin chuckled, "No thanks."
"Anakin, teaching is a privilege. And it's part of a Jedi's responsibility to help train the next generation." He explained.
"A Padawan would just slow me down." Anakin arrogantly said.
The hiss of the air lock on the shuttle returned their attention to it. The ramp lowered to reveal Ahsoka.
"A youngling?" Obi-wan was surprised.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Anakin asked.
"I'm Ahsoka." She explained, "Master Yoda sent us, he needs you to report in, there is an assignment they need completed."
"Well I don't know if you haven't noticed but we are have an emergency. We are low on troops and supplies." Anakin exclaimed
"What do you mean 'us'?" Kenobi asked.
"I was sent with another, Zeveran. He should be coming out soon." She answered, taking a quick look back at the shuttle.
"Ok." He affirmed, "We have been trying to reach out for help but our communications appear to be unreliable."
"Master Yoda hadn't heard from you so he sent us to deliver the message." Ahsoka explained.
"Great, they don't even know we're in trouble." Anakin exclaimed, turning away.
"Maybe you could send a signal through the destroyer that just dropped us off." She offered.
"Let's see if it will work." Kenobi decided turning with Anakin to return to the command center.
"What about Zeveran?" Ahsoka asked.
"'I'll send Cody to get him," he answered.
Back at the shuttle Zeveran finally walked down the ramp pushing a grav-crate. He took a quick look around and spotted two clones. The clones had orange coloring on their armor.
"Excuse me troopers!" He called out. "Could I get some help?" He tapped the crate.
The clones looked at each other. It took them a minute to walk over. By the time they got to the shuttle ramp Zev had made it back with another crate.
"Uhm, who are you?" one of the Clones asked.
"OH, sorry. I'm Zeveran Anduin, I am Master Kenobi's new Padawan." Zeveran explained.
The Clones immediately shot to attention, "Commander." They spoke in unison.
!Feat Achieved! Step Foot on Christophsis... 1 Bronze Random Gacha Ticket.
!Feat Achieved! Become a Commander of the G.A.R. 1 Gold Random Gacha Ticket Acquired.
"I was able to procure some supplies. You'll mind helping me with them." He asked.
Clone on the left responded, "Yes sir."
The two Clones followed him up back into the shuttle to grab the rest of the crates. Moments later the three of them descended the ramp with six more crates. "Thanks for the help Troopers."
"No problem Commander." One of them said.
"What all were you able to get us?" One asked with slight hope.
"I got some weapons, heavy weapons, four crates of ammo, and two crates of medical supplies." Zeveran explained.
"Thank you for the supplies Commander, we really needed them." A Trooper said.
"No problem uhm. What's your names?" Zev asked.
"I'm Waxer, he's Boil." Waxer spoke as he took off his helmet revealing a bald clone with a soul patch below his lips.
!Feat Achieved! Meet Waxer and Boil - 1 Bronze Random Gacha Ticket
Boil removed his helm as well revealing his black flat top hair and horseshoe beard.
"It's a pleasure to properly meet you both." Zeveran said getting a smile from both troopers.
"Waxer, Boil! Put your helmets back on!" Shouted a Clone as he walked to them.
Waxer and Boil immediately went rigged putting on their helms and saluting, "Commander!"
The Clones armor was different from Waxer's and Boil's, it had a visor, several antennas, a flood light, and like them had orange coloring.
"Are you Zeveran?" The clone asked.
"I am indeed Jedi Padawan Zeveran Anduin." Zeveran affirmed with a bow.
"I am CC-2224, Clone Marshal Commander Cody of the 7th Sky Corps. It is a pleasure to have you Commander." Cody spoke, "I was told by General Kenobi to escort you to him at the command center."
!Feat Achieved! Meet A Marshal Commander (Cody) - 1 Silver Random Gacha Ticket
"I appreciate it, I figured since you'll haven been able to contact anybody that you may need supplies. I have delivered, weapons, ammo, and medical supplies."
"Thank you Commander, Waxer, Boil, get the supplies distributed. This way Commander." Cody motioned to Zeveran.
"Lead the way Cody." Zev spoke.
"Why do you'll keep calling me Commander?" Zeveran asked.
"Because you are one, as a Jedi Padawan your rank is Jedi Commander. When your Master deems you fit to take the full responsibilities of that roll you will be in charge of an entire Regiment." Cody explained. "As I said early, I am the Mashal Commander of the 7th Sky Corps, and I answer to General Kenobi. There is no higher rank for a Clone. There are typically 9 troopers to a squad, 4 squads to a platoon, 4 platoons to a company, 4 companies to a battalion, so on and so forth."
"Got it, so one day I'll be in charge of a regiment," Cody nodded, Zev dis some quick mental calculations. "I'll one day be in charge of 2,304 troopers." Zeveran slightly dreaded that.
They walked in silence for a few moments, "How do you deal with it?"
"With what?" Cody asked back.
"Losing your troopers, your brothers?" Zeveran asked, Cody stopped and looked at him.
"I keep fighting, because if I stop then they died for nothing." Cody replied and continued walking.
Zeveran took those words in and followed after him and decided to do only one of each for his Gacha rolls.
[Rolling... 1 Bronze/Silver/Gold Random Gacha Ticket]
[Bronze] - [Fire Claws] |Uncommon Ability|
Unordinary - Allows you to grow your fingernails into very durable and sharp claws that you can cover in very hot flames. These claws can even carve apart and melt metal.
[Silver] - [Tinker - Games] |Uncommon Ability|
Allows you to build technological constructs or contraptions related to games or entertainment programs. You are over 100 times more efficient than the average experienced full development team when it comes to making games and entertainment programs.
[Gold] - [Reroll] |Rare Ability|
"Lucky" When you roll this ability, whatever ticket you got it with is rolled twice and this ability is removed.
Zeveran read it and decided to go ahead and use the Reroll. He was slightly disappointed in the rolls. 'When am I ever gonna make a game?' he thought. The claw ability on the other hand will be useful.
[Rolling... 2 Golden Random Gacha Tickets]
[Surging Magic Power] |Elite Trait|
Your connection to the mystical is far more potent, any magic you use is far stronger than it normally would be and you can overload spells without breaking them.
[Note: Magic = The Force]
[Cheshire Cats ring] |Uncommon Item|
Blacksouls - A gold ring with the engraving of a cat that looks suspiciously smug. When wearing this ring, you are immune to falling damage even if you drop from 100,000 kilometers.
Zeveran felt his connection to the force increase, if it was a large puddle before, it was now a small pond. The sudden increase in his force power concerned him, if this Gacha could do that what couldn't it do. The ring appeared in his hand, he looked into the smug smile before slipping it onto his finger. He was no longer disappointed in his rolls.
They soon arrived to the 'command center', which was just a holo table outside a crystal building with the sides covered by wreaked AT-TEs.
They arrived to Anakin shouting. "-He's the one that wanted a Padawan."
"And he has gotten one, Master Yoda was very clear. I am to be Padawan to Anakin Skywalker and he is to over see my Jedi training."
Anakin began to retort. "But that doesn't make any-"
"General Kenobi, I brought him." Cody spoke up.
"Ahh," Kenobi looked over and gained a smile as he saw Cody approach with Zeveran. Anakin and Ahsoka turned with him.
"You must be my new Padawan then." Kenobi spoke.
"Indeed Master. Padawan Zeveran Anduin awaiting instruction." he spoke and deeply bowed.
"Uhhh...' Anakin groaned and turned to walk away, "I'll go check on Rex in the lookout post."
"You better take her with you." Kenobi suggested, with a dampened smile.
Anakin walked off, Ahsoka was quick to follow.
"What are we gonna do?" Zeveran asked.
"We are going to walk and talk, tell me about yourself, my new Padawan." Obi-wan said.
"Well, I was brought to the order when I was two years old by Master Fay, when it was time I was placed in clan Salamander. Master Fay would come and instruct me in the us of the force every once in a while. " He spoke with a sad smile. "She was the closest thing I had to a mother. When I heard that she died I felt as if a part of myself had been ripped from me. But I must keep moving, to become the Jedi she wanted me to be."
Kenobi could sense the sadness radiating off his new apprentice. "I am sorry for your Loss." He placed a reassuring hand on Zeveran's shoulder.
Zeveran sniffed and wiped his eyes, "Anyway I'm a great pilot and I have mostly practiced Form VI: Niman, but since the start of this war I have began practicing Soresu because of the amount of incoming blaster fire."
"That is smart, I myself have begun training in it several years ago." Kenobi commended.
Cody who was walking behind them suddenly interrupted any further conversation. "Sir!" He pointed in the distance where a large red energy shield was slowly growing in the distance.
"Cody go ready the men. Let get back to the command center Anduin." He ordered.
"Yes Sir!" Cody saluted before running off.
"After you Master." Zev spoke.
Kenobi Took off in a run, Zev clos behind.
They soon returned to the Command Post, Kenobi quickly pulled up the map and it shoed a blub growing on the other half of the map to them.
Anakin and Ahsoka joined them soon with a Clone with blue striped armor and pauldron, and a kama around his waist.
"Did you see it?" Anakin asked.
"Yes." Kenobi spoke and pointed at the map. " The shield generator is somewhere in this area. They're slowly increasing the diameter, and keeping it just ahead of their troops."
"Heavy cannons are gonna be useless against that." The clone spoke.
Zeveran stroked his hairless chin as his Arkanian mind went to work.
"As they get closer, I suppose we could try to draw them into the buildings." Kenobi offered. "That might level the playing field."
"It wouldn't," Zeveran spoke getting everyone's attention. "If we use the cannons to ruin the road that would provide time for someone to take out the shield."
"Then we take it out." Ahsoka agreed.
"Easier said than done." The clone spoke.
"Well, I agree." Anakin said as he cleared his throat. "Someone has to get to that shield generator and destroy it. That's the key."
"Right then, maybe you two could tiptoe through the enemy lines and solve this particular problem together." Obi-wan offered.
Ahsoka eager to prove herself spoke up first. "Can do, Master Kenobi."
"I'll decide what we do." Anakin told her.
"If Rex and I engage them here," He pointed at a street on the map. "You two might be able to slip past their lines undetected, here."
"They won't have much time." The Clone that Zeveran thinks is Rex spoke up. "The droids far outnumber us, so our ability to street fight is limited without the heavy cannons. They will march forward under the protection of their shield until they're right on top of our cannons, then they'll blow them away."
!Feat Achieved! Oh Captain My Captain (Rex)... 1 Bronze Random Gacha Ticket.
"We'll figure out a way." Ahsoka chimed in. " Come on, Master, Let's go."
Anakin bent down and spoke to her as they waked away.
Zeveran brought Rex's and Kenobi's focus back to the map. "The clones will need to shoot from cover, there is no need for them to charge the enemy like they have swords. We have the accuracy, all they have is numbers. So yes Master, we should put some troops in the buildings. they just don't need to go above the third floor, any higher and they wouldn't be able to be effective as possible."
"Well I'm glad that you partly agree with me." His master spoke.
"We can also load the shuttle up with some of the cannons shells and use it as a makeshift bomber. Fly in from the rear and drop the cannisters to carpet bomb the droids." Zeveran added. "There is no need having them here unless the shield comes down."
"You have a point, those Tri-droids are gonna be a problem for the shuttle though. They are the only ones that don't have to turn around to shoot at the shuttle." Rex spoke.
"Then they are the first to go." Kenobi ordered. "Me and my Padawan will deal with the Tri-droids, the moment they are down you call in that shuttle. Go get the men ready."
Rex nodded "Yes, General."
"Lets get into position Zeveran." Kenobi motioned.
"Yes Master." Zev said following after him.
!Feat Achieved! Into the Fires of Battle - 1 Silver Random Gacha Ticket
Zeveran didn't see the pint in waiting, he went ahead and ripped the silver ticket.
[Rolling... 1 Silver Random Gacha Ticket]
[Superhuman] |Rare Ability|
You are superhuman, or whatever race you are. Even as a base human you are able to lift trucks and are unharmed by small caliber bullets. Basically, you are about as strong as Captain America is. All of these enhancements scale with your base stats.
'That is gonna be so useful.' He didn't waste a second and slotted that ability in. The physical rush he had was astonishing. He didn't know who this Captain America was, but he felt like he could lift up a speeder truck followed suit by slotting in Fire Claws.
It took them a while but the droid forces were slowly coming into position.
"Are you ready my Padawan?" Kenobi asked.
Zeveran turned to look at Obi-wan, who was already looking at him. "As ready as I can be Master." He replied with a smile.
"Then lets give them a warm welcome." Kenobi said as he activated his blue saber and slashed the window they were looking out of and force pushed it. Resulting in it exploding outwards, Obi-wan quickly jumped out angling for the furthest Tri-droid.
Zeveran followed his lead and ignited his blue saber as well. Using the force to augment his superhuman jump he launched himself at a Tri-droid his four clawed digits lengthening and igniting into flames. Zeveran soon reached the droids spherical dome and digging a clawed hand into its 'head' to slow himself down.
Using his new hand hold as a pivot point he launched himself at one of the barrels and grabbed it. Handing from it he tightened his grip as he was suddenly spun as the barrel was now pointed at the Clone lines. The Droid fired before spinning the barrels again.
Zeveran expeditiously gathered himself and cut the barrel off with his saber, dropped himself onto one of the legs. He jumped from one leg toward another, as he jumped he slashed the 'neck' of the droid. Landing on the other leg, he dropped off of it and removed the leg from the rest of the droid with another swipe of his saber.
!Feat Achieved! First Droid Kill...1 Bronze Ability Gacha Ticket
!Feat Achieved! Artillery Denial. 1 Silver Random Gacha Ticket
He landed in a crouch, looking over to where his Master should be he saw him cutting through droids to get to him. A thunderous boom erupted from behind Zeveran as the Tri-droid landed.
Zeveran started running to mete up with his master, bisecting B-1's and B-2's along the way. They soon meetup, "Good job Zeveran." Kenobi spoke, blocking blaster bolts and destroying droids. "Go join up with Cody, Call in the bombing run when you cross the line. I'll deal with the Separatists leader."
"Are you sure going alone is a good Idea Master?" He questioned, dodging a bolt. Zeveran used the force to pick up a B-2 and slung it sideways into an approaching column of droids.
"I'll be fine, get to Cody." He ordered.
"Yes Master." Zeveran followed his command, and ran off.
On his way he cut droids to pieces, disabled armored Assault Tanks by slicing the bottom disc, inadvertently discovering they had munitions in them as they made glorious fireworks.
!Feat Achieved! 50 Droid Kills... 1 Silver Ability Gacha Ticket.
!Feat Achieved! 1st Tank Destruction... 1 Silver Item Gacha Ticket.
He was gonna tire out soon he could feel it. He b-lined it strait to the clone lines. He stopped going out of his way for kills, only those in his path. He soon arrived at the lines and heard a shout.
"Cover the commander!" A clone shouted.
A surge of ion enhanced blaster bolts peppered the droids around him. The Droids died in droves. He made it to the line and jumped over the ledge of the raised earth. He dropped behind the firing line, and collapsed out of breath.
"Are you ok Commander?" A clone asked grabbing his arm.
He looked up and saw Cody kneeling over him, "Just-huff-out of-huff-breath."
Sitting up, "Begin your run, Roc." He spoke into a communicator, out of breath and dripping with sweat.
He watched as a clone was shot, fell back, and died. He forced himself up, grabbing the fallen Clone's DC-15S, he removed [Superhuman], [FireClaws], and [Bloodhound], freeing all his current slots before slotting in [Training Booster]. In turn getting a 4x training boost, because at the end of the day this could be considered live fire training.
He just started shooting, three out five shots landed. Suddenly, after killing half a dozen droids Zeveran watches as the Nu-Class Shuttle came screaming down the long road dropping the ammo canisters into the droids and Tanks and firing it's laser cannons.
The cacophony of explosions shook the ground and was near defining. Zeveran and the Clones ducked behind the turned up road. With the quieting of the explosions, Zev and the clones looked up and witnessed the devastation, as he surveyed the battlefield he noticed while most of the droid forces were destroyed, some still remained. Suddenly the red bulbous shield started dissipating.
His wrist com lit up, "All cannons, fire. on those tanks."
Massive blue balls of energized plasma rained from the sky. These explosions were nowhere near as continuous nor cacophonous as the makeshift bombing run. The last of the droid troops were quickly eliminated as the cannons didn't stop firing until they were all destroyed.
The roar of massive engines was heard over head, drawing their attention to massive spear head shaped ship descended into the atmosphere, large Acclamator-Class Assault ships descended from the sky launching dozens of LAAT's across the battle field.
"Commander," Cody called out, walking over from the few medics. "Got a transport incoming to pick you up to reunite with General Kenobi,"
"Understood Cody." Zeveran acknowledged.
"You did good Commander, Me and 7th Sky Corps are lucky to have you. " Cody complemented.
"Thank you, Commander.", He bowed as his transport arrived.
His transport landed, the LAAT dropped off a few clones and Zeveran hopped on. The Flight was smooth and quiet, lasting at most a minute. The LAAT descended beside an Acclamator that was deploying troops, and armor down a ramp. The transport lowered to drop him off close to his New Master, who was having a conversation with Grandmaster Yoda.
"Master Yoda, Master Kenobi." Zeveran called out walking over.
"Zeveran, How did your half of the battle go?" Kenobi asked.
"It went well Master, Destroyed a bunch of droids, and a few tanks. Made it to Cody and called in the bombing run, then barrowed a blaster and shot more droids." He explained.
"You used a blaster?" Kenobi was surprised.
"I'm not the best when it comes to blaster deflection and standing where I could deflect the most shots would have put me under more fire than I'm comfortable with."
"Knowing limitation, good that is." Yoda said.
"Indeed my young Padawan, we have something to work on then, but that will have to wait. You will be joining Anakin and Ahsoka on a mission to the Teth system to rescue Jabba the Huts kidnapped son." Kenobi informed.
"Ok, but is it really a good idea for the Republic to help out the largest crime boss in the galaxy?" Zev asked.
"Crucial, their hyperlane's are." Yoda explained.
"Understood Master." Zeveran bowed and left to Join Anakin and Ahsoka.
