I was speaking to the Queen of Naboo about the recent battle that happened almost a few hours ago with this new enemy I have never seen before. The queen of Naboo turned to me "Naboo surfer the wrath of Dooku every time we get involved she said "my apologies your highness, that your beautiful planet was Force into his war I said "don't be Master Skywalker I assume that I had to join a side at some point she said "Sir pardon me for interrupting Jesse said "no need Jesse what is it?I asked him "the medical team patch up Your wife sir she wishes to see you Jesse said "go be with your wife The queen said I nod my head before I walk to the tent. I entered the tent to see Padme had a cast on her left arm well a few bandages were on her face she turned to me and smiled at me "Ani!she said I rush to her and hug her tightly "oh my beloved wife I thought you were really hurt I said "she would be fine General, just some scratches and miner cut but her arm will be in a cast for a few months until it heals Kixs said "thanks Kixs I said he nod his head smd left the tent so me and Padma could have some alone time. I sat beside her on the bed well she lay her head on my shoulder "how Omega?and Rex?Padme asks "Rex is going to be fine he is a tough Captain and Omega she be okay too, I ask Jesse to tell Bad batch about this they be here soon I said then I heard Padma sigh "Padme this isn't your fault I said "but it is!if I have listened to you I would have never have lost the relic Padme said "Padma I don't care about the relic and the Jedi council doesn't either what matters to us is your safety I said as I hug her she lean into my hold embrace my warmth I was giving her.

I left Padme to rest so I decided to check on Rex and Omega. I entered the tent to see Rex had his chest piece off as a medic wrapped him up in bandages "how is my captain?I asked "I'm fine sir, ready for duty Rex said but winces in pain as he tries to stand "easy Rex you been through enough I'm ordering you to rest and recover both of you I said as I see Omega laying next to him she had a bandage wrap around her head with bandages on her check "how are you feeling kid?I asked her "bang up sir, it was a lot of action I am used to Omega said "don't worry kid you did okay out there I said "how.. Padme is she okay?Omega asks "she is just worried about her little helper I said "she is not the only one who worried about her a voice said I turn to see Bad Batch standing behind me "Hunter Omega said in a happy tone I stand up so he and his team can sit next to bed "hey kid how you feeling? Wrecker asks as he places a stuff worn out bunny next to her and she hugs it tightly "I'm fine now that you're here Omega said Wrecker chuckle as he sits next to her "General good to see you Echo said "you too Echo I said "can we speak to you alone Hunter asks I nod my head and step out of the tent Hunter Tech Echo and Wrecker exit the tent behind me "so I'm guessing you heard what happened here?I asked "we did after we helped General Luminara we flew straight here Hunter said "yeah now tell us who did this to one of our members so we could return the favorite Wrecker said "Easy Wrecker we don't know who this enemy is?Echo said "yes from what I saw it was three skill Warriors and the leader was a droid I said "a droid? Wrecker said "but this droid was different I said "how different?Echo asks "this Droid bested Bridger, Rex, Scorch and two Mandalorians he killed one of them I said "do you have any data on this for?Tech asks "just the report that all I said "well it seems the Separatist has a new Sith Allie Hunter said "yeah if he can take our Bridger and his friend then we are in trouble I said "so what's the plan?we hunt this guy done? Hunter asks "Yeah!get from payback for Omega Wrecker said "not until the Jedi council decided what to do and we need to warn the Jedi that aren't at the temple about this guy I said a clone rifle man walked up to me "general the council has requested you He said to me. I enter my shuttle and open the channel hologram of the Jedi council appear in front of me "Master Skywalker, report from Naboo you discovered? Master Yoda asks "it seems what we all felt in the force wasn't a warning, it was a sign that we are all in danger I said "please explain young Skywalker Master Plo-koon asks "a couple of hours ago Padme and Omega discovered a hidden relic on Naboo which led me to travel here to escort her to Coruscant but once I arrive I heard explosions so me and my battalion ran to the palace once we reach the palaces I saw Bridger on the ground wounded with these people standing above him i said as I show them the image "these three unknown warrior fought ruthless and were determined to take the relic Padme has dug up I said "so where did they go?where did they come from? Master Aayla asks "unknown our fighters reported that a huge ship that is three times the size of our Vendors appears from darkness before jumping into Hyperspace I explained to them I noticed some of the Masters were whispering to each other "this new threat, danger to Jedi Master Yoda said "what can you tell us about this....metal creature? Windu asks "this creature her name is Sabrina a member of a Elite Warriors called Defender's I said showing them an image of her "I have read about this Defenders until, they were powerful robotic beings the ancient spoke about them Kit-fisto said ",well she told me that this...Apex fella was one of her people and he served Darth Malgus I said which made everyone look at each other "Darth Malgus was killed centuries ago how can someone from that time still be alive? Master Depa Billaba asks "the Force is the answer, work in many ways it does, kept him alive it has Master Yoda said "I don't think that Apex is a Force user I felt the evil within him but he wasn't a Sith I said "I also noticed that he was emblem on his shoulder Obiwan said as he zoom in on Apex shoulder "I heard about this it is a old warrior status where each enemy he killed he take the emblem of that person as a sign of who he fought Master Tera Sinube said "so these emblem are people he killed Windu said "indeed I study every emblem in the Jedi texts he has a emblem for a Elite Warrior Master Tera Sinube said as he point to it

*Elite Warrior emblem*

Obi-wan point to another one "here are a few Sith emblem Obiwan said as he show everyone the three emblems on Apex shoulder

*Sith emblem*

Plo-koon also pointed to one as well "and these are Jedi emblems on his shoulder and there are a lot of them Master Plo-koon said as he shows everyone the dozen of Jedi Emblem Apex had on him

*Jedi emblems*

I sigh really hard "Master there must be away to defeat this guy? I ask "I don't believe there is if he and these two can take down a few of us then we aren't going to win Master Ki-Adi-Mundi said "and what Ezra?is he ok? Master Jarrus asks "he fine both him, Scorch and Sabine are on there way back to Knownest with Sabrina I said "talk to this Defender we must, get answer we must Master Yoda said "I agree but maybe later right now they need to get check because they left before my medical team could look at them I said "then we make the call thank Skywalker Windu said I nod my head as we close the channel.

Tristan said as he and a few other warriors ran to them they grabbed Scorch and Derek then pulled them apart "that enough you two!Ursa said Scorch calm down but Derek didn't "Derek despite your concern you have proven that you don't understand this situation and that the fact you disrespect me and my family but also disrespect Bridger so I'm sorry but you are here by being placed in your quarters for the time being and are no longer a highest rank you will also be demotivated as well Ursa said Derek look at her "countless please don't do this!Derek said "I'm sorry but I already made my choice Ursa said Derek shrugged the warriors off him before he stomped away.

Sabine was walking to her room to rest She has been through a lot but what really on her mind was Ezra he hasn't left his room since they returned It made her worry about him. Ezra sat on his bed he was shirtless facing the wall he had a large scar across his chest he got from Apex he had removed his armor and placed it on the dresser he was thinking about the battle on Naboo and the death of Steve. Ezra knows with the death of Steve the people of Clan Wren will most likely be against him staying here and this treaty between Mandalorian and Jedi could continue on forever Ezra stood up from his bed before walking to the dresser he looked at himself in the mirror and all he saw was defeat in his eyes Ezra was never the one who give up easily but after getting hurt by Apex he felt like he wasn't ready to be a Jedi, he felt alone....like he did during his test Ezra pick up his lightsaber off the dresser he held it in both hands squeezing it tightly as he held it upside down pointed at him then he raise it above his head but he froze when he saw his reflection he was broken, scared, and alone Ezra never thought he go this far after a battle Ezra lower his hands down before he lean against the dresser he was breathing rapidly then he made a fist before he punch the mirror breaking it in pieces as he cut his hand. Ezra then heard a soft knock on his door "Ezra...it me Sabine are you okay? Sabine asks softly Ezra then looks at the door before he goes to unlock it. Sabine hears the door unlock then it opens reveal a shirtless and bleeding Ezra "hey Sabine Ezra said Sabine look at Ezra in surprise he never seen him like this since they meet but what really made her worry was his hand was cut and bleeding "what did you do?Sabine asks Ezra hide his hand behind him "nothing Ezra said as he walks back to his bed Sabine follows him and closes the door she saw his mirror was shatter his armor was on the dresser and his lightsaber was on the floor "Ezra what did you do?Sabine asks Ezra sat on the bed "sorry about the mess I was just...mad Ezra said Sabine sat next to him on his bed "Mad about what?Sabine asks Ezra just look at her before he lets out a sigh "about Steve, he died right in front of me trying to save my life and I couldn't save his, I failed as a Jedi, I failed as a Mandalorian I don't even think I can bring peace  between our people Ezra said as he look down at the floor Sabine move closer to him "is that why you are stressed out because you are worried about peace between us?Sabine asks "I never had this much responsibility before I'm used to following order but once I was told that I was going to be order between us I thought it would be simple but clearly it isn't Ezra said Sabine just look at Ezra with a concern look on her face she was train to never show her emotions to anyone but seeing Ezra like this it hurts her knowing he had so much pressure on him that he didn't want to ask for help "well to tell you the Truth I'm in shoes as well Sabine said which made Ezra look at her "what do you mean?Ezra asks her "when my mother told me that I was taking over as leader of Clan Wren I was so excited about it but she told me about that I had to find a suitable mate to be with so we can merge our Clans I didn't want to, after I regretted every suiter mother shown I thought she given up but... you came along Sabine said as she look at Ezra "and to be honest with you, I'm glad that you were chosen Sabine said with a smile "really?why?Ezra asks "well we both wanted to make our journey, make it we're we are heroes but I realize that I can't continue my journey without you Ezra Sabine said as she take his good hand into her and give it a squeeze "we were destined to be together I know it and i know you feel the same way, we continue our journey, our story together as one Sabine said with a smile Ezra heart was pounding rapidly what Sabine said made him realize she was right they were destined to bring peace between their people and if they can then they will write a new chapter Ezra smile at her "thanks Sabine I needed to hear that Ezra said Sabine smile at him before she pulled him into a tight hug Ezra relax into her hug "thanks Sabine Ezra said Sabine smile at herself "your welcome Sabine said as they broke the hug "now let get that hand heal Sabine said as she walk to the dresser and grab the medical kit in one of the dresser. Sabine sat back down on the bed and she took out a bacteria spray "this will sting Sabine said as she sprayed it over his hand Ezra wince a bit as it string a bit Sabine put the spray away before she grabbed the bandage wrap then she gently began to wrap it tightly "there it be heal in a day or two Sabine said "thanks Sabine Ezra said "your welcome Ezra Sabine said with a smile "now get some rest you need it Sabine said as she stood up but Ezra stop her "hey....think you can stay with me just for tonight?Ezra asks Sabine just look at him but she smiles then leans down and gently kiss his cheek "of course Ezra Sabine said Ezra lay down on his bed well Sabine put her armor on his dresser before she unzip her body suit then she climb into bed she lay on top him with Ezra putting a hand around her waist "goodnight Ezra Sabine said "goodnight Sabine Ezra said as he lay his head down well Sabine lay her head on his chest snuggling into his hold before they both fell asleep in each other arms.
