6:00p.m.

the battle is over with the Turians and Riley's side claiming victory The Council has yet to give new orders yet so they're still in orbit around Geonosis. Jenna walks up to Leon with something a bit different than the vibro-blade her hair's a mess as she hasn't slept but she smiles proudly.

Jenna: So i was working on the vibro-blade aaand it blew up but then it hit me, that whip of yours is your.. THING ya know its what makes your fighting style unique so I retuned the focus emitters and...

looks up at Leon who is lost already

Jenna: it's a Lightwhip, I tuned the blade of this generic lightsaber tho it COULD have been Anakin's or even master obi-wans i have no idea anyway i tuned the blade to act like a whip instead. so... yeah this should help you fight off lightsabers a bit easier than even a vibro-blade im pretty proud of it, go ahead and try it out.

Leon: okay but... uh you need to sleep girl you are functioning on pure adrenaline and coffee alone..

Jenna: Good idea the floor looks comfy enough to

Jenna curls up on the floor like a cat and goes right to sleep Leon just looks at her and shakes his head.

Jenna: prrrrrr.... zzzzzz

Leon: good kitty

Leon goes to the training room to try out the Lightwhip he strikes a few test dummies with it he seems satisfied.

Leon: not bad, not much different than using the vampire killer.

Riley: why can't you just use the vampire killer though?

Leon: it got damaged trying to block a lightsaber i can fix it but its just sitting in my room for now. im surprised it didn't completely get destroyed though...

Riley: how are your injuries by the by?

Leon: i'll be okay, it was nothing too major.

Riley: takes injuries from a plasma sword and just says "meh nothing too major"  you're insane....

Leon: eh, they were just glancing blows, Grievous got it worse.

there's a sound from the captain's chair a button is glowing Leon pushes it

Riley: what are you doing!? dont touch anything!

a screen pops up, its Celeste the Asari Councilwoman

Celeste: oh! Leon.. where's Jenna?

Leon: taking a catnap

Celeste looks confused she sees Jenna on the floor curled up. Celeste gets a funny look

Celeste: uh... well, good job with Geonosis it says here from report that you engaged General Grievous and dealt him heavy injuries. that's much more than even skilled Jedi Warriors can say, the reports also mentioned you first used a... chain whip to fight him off?

Leon: it's a long story.

Celeste: Remarkable... it should have melted right through, its no ordinary whip that's for sure. Then you managed to obtain two of Grievous' Lightsabers then shot a.. blast of energy at him, i guess its true about you saiyans and your powers. Anyways, people here are already feeling a bit nervous about the prospect of saiyans having lightsabers but it seems you don't need them to deal serious damage.

Leon: One of them I gave to our pilot Jenna, she was part of the team consisting of a Mace Windu and others apparently one of the lightsabers is his, she converted the other into a Lightwhip.

Celeste: a lightwhip? interesting.. and fitting for you, I shall allow the use of it you will be seeing many lightsabers before this wars over. Master Windu's lightsaber can also be kept in your safekeeping, better there than in the hands of someone like Grievous.

Leon: it's been a few days, have you got another mission for us?

Celeste: Indeed I do, you are to head to a planet known as Aquas, its a colony planet for a race known as the Hanar they're under attack and need assistance the Turians are still reeling from the fighting on Geonosis so you wont have any additional fire support at least not on the ground, squadrons of starfighters are already engaged in furious combat above the planet the planet is mostly water as the Hanar are aquatic but theres large islands the Sith have taken over to use as staging areas to launch assaults on the Hanar. this seems like just random violence but..

Leon: what? are The Sith attacking these locations for a reason? other than trying to kill us all?

Celeste: im.. not sure just paranoid i think.

Leon: In any case, ill go wake the cat up so she can get us over to Aquas.

Celeste: I expect great things from your team, keep up the good work. Council out.

the feed cuts Leon walks over to Jenna and scratches behind her ears she tilts her head and purrs

Leon: Wake up.

Jenna: 5 more minutes...meow...

Leon: wake up... wake up...

Jenna: zzzzz

Leon gets a moe look

Leon: WAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!

Jenna: WAH WHO? HUH!?

Leon: we're heading to Aquas, the Hanar need our help.

Jenna: right right uh.. setting course for my bedroom...

Leon kicks Jenna in the butt

Jenna: WOAH! alright alright im goin dont shove!

Jenna punches in the route to Aquas then she falls asleep in the captains chair

Leon: Alright guys looks like it'll be awhile so lets have some dinner eh?

Shawn: oh boy!

10:00p.m.

Riley sits in the kitchen and she eats some beef soup. The ship is on auto pilot and Jenna is already in her room. Leon walks into the kitchen and he sits down at the table with Riley.

Leon: Hello Riley.

Riley: Hi.

Leon: You seem troubled.

Riley: I have to say...I am alittle worried.

Leon: Why? What's got you so troubled?

Riley: That droid...General Grievous. He could have killed you.

Leon: I know...but that's the risk that comes with every battle. Everytime we walk into battle...we know there's always that chance we won't walk away.

Riley: I know...but this is different.

Leon: How so?

Riley: We've never fought opponents like this...Those troopers and those battle droids and those bugs...they were simple enough. Just return fire...but Grievous...he was different...those lightsabers...How are we supposed to fight opponents who carry them?

Leon: Well. I do have my whip now.

Riley: But we can't expect you to be able to protect all of us. I know we're not Jedi...but I'm thinking maybe we should learn to fight with lightsabers.

Leon: I'll be fine with my whip...but perhaps you all should learn.

Riley: After all...its better to be safe than sorry...right?

Leon: Right.

Riley finishes her food and she stands up.

Riley: I'm gonna go get some rest.

Leon: Right. We'll need it.

Riley: So...we're gonna be on our own on this mission?

Leon: Right. No military support this time...but I think we'll be alright.

Riley: I sure hope so...Good night Leon.

Leon: Goodnight Riley.

Riley leaves the room. Leon sits there thinking.

Leon: I believe she may be right.

Riley stands in the hall. She leans against the wall.

Riley: The Sith is unlike any enemy we've ever fought before. Master's with a lightsaber. We can't expect to win with our own fighting style. We're gonna have to learn the ways of The Jedi.

Riley walks down the hall to her room. She opens the door and she walks in. Bret and Shawn are in bed with Sally. The children are in their baby beds. Elaine walks into the room and she closes the door back.

Elaine: Hey Riley.

Riley: Hi. I take it Shawn and Bret are still comforting Sally?

Elaine: Poor girl still can't go to bed alone...and she needs rest.

Riley: I feel so bad for her.

Elaine: I'm proud of her for finally becoming a Super Saiyan but...I just wish it wouldn't have happened like this.

Riley: I know.

Elaine: So another mission already huh?

Riley: Yeah. No military support this time...we'll be on our own.

Elaine: Hm. Not like its anything new.

Riley: I know...I just hope we're ready for this...The Sith...they are...powerful.

Elaine: Of course...why else would the entire galaxy be in fear of them?

Riley: After seeing General Grievous...he was a pretty scary opponent...but he was no Sith.

Elaine: Your really worried about this...are you afraid of the Sith?

Riley: I...I don't know.

Elaine: If we hope to win this war...we can't be afraid.

Riley: I know...but...we haven't really joined the war...we're just hired mercenaries as everyone keeps calling us.

Elaine: So? What's that got to do with anything?

Riley: Nothing I guess.

Elaine: Don't worry so much honey. Its all gonna be okay.

Elaine hugs Riley. Riley embraces her.

Elaine: Alright sweetie. Let's get undressed and get some rest.

Riley and Elaine get naked and they lay down in the bed.

Meanwhile. On Planet Zell.

Mia and Madalaine are in Mia's Doctor's office. There are a some sick Saiyan's in bed. 3 female's and 1 male.

Madalaine: Okay. I think we're making progress Mia. We haven't lost anyone else and the Saiyan's we've treated seem to be improving. Seems your medicine is doing the trick.

Mia: Yes. This is very good news.

Madalaine: However...we're not gonna be able to really tell for a few weeks at least.

Mia: So do you think it would be okay to give it to the other sick Saiyan's?

Madalaine: I want to study it first. Show me how you made it.

Mia: Okay.

Mia begins to show Madalaine how she made the medicine. She shows the herbs she used.

Madalaine: Hm...Very good. All these herbs have a good effect on the body. So it should help them recover. However...this is a little problem...nothing serious.

Mia: What? What kind of mistake did I make?

Madalaine: Oh. Nothing serious. It won't hurt them.

Mia: But what's the problem so I can take notes.

Madalaine: Well. This herb here.

Madalaine points out the herb.

Madalaine: Its a good herb for health. Its not harmful...its just that.

Mia: What?

Madalaine: It makes men horny as crap. It has somewhat of the same effect on women.

Mia blushes.

Mia: Oh...I didn't know it had those kinds of effects.

Madalaine: Oh honey don't worry. It won't hurt anything. It just gives men wild sexual emotions for a few days...it also gives them...big strong hard on's if you know what I'm saying.

Mia blushes and she smiles.

Mia: Um...Yeah. I know what you mean.

Madalaine: It won't hurt anything though. This might actually play out very well for the Saiyan's. Everyone that takes the medicine will become extremely horny for a few days. So seeking to get that relief. The Saiyan's are sure to mate and well...Saiyan babies.

Mia: So its actually gonna help them.

Madalaine: Right. The more babies the better. So no harm done.

Mia: Well...at least we're making progress.

Madalaine: We'll have to study more.

Meanwhile. On an Impearial Starship.

A female Impearial Captain walks into a large room. There's a man sitting at a table. The Captain walks to the table.

Female: Sir...if you have a moment. I wish to speak with you. Permission to speak sir?

The man is looking over papers and he appears to be doing paper work.

Man: Captain Ellie...how many times have I told you...I don't wish to be bothered unless its something important.

Ellie: But sir...it is important. Its about Geonosis.

The man puts his pen down and he looks at Ellie.

Man: And what happened?

Ellie: Our forces were defeated sir.

The man doesn't look happy. He looks toward the table. He rubs his hand over his face.

Man: You know how failure disappoints me Captain.

Ellie: Yes sir. I know. I'm very unhappy about it too...this is why I should have been there.

Man: Who was in charge on Geonosis?

Ellie: General Grievous.

The man looks at Ellie.

Man: And...what happened to him? You mean to tell me that the Turian military defeated our Storm Troopers and our Battle Droids and General Grievous?

Ellie: The Turian army didn't do it alone. They had help.

Man: Help? From who?

Ellie: The report says...the Counsil hired mercenaries.

Man: And you expect me to believe a small team of mercenaries was strong enough to defeat General Grievous?

Ellie: They were not just a normal group of mercenaries.

Man: Really...and who are they?

Ellie: Saiyan's.

The man looks very upset.

Man: Saiyan's huh?

Ellie: Yes sir.

Man: And it was these Saiyan's who defeated General Grievous.

Ellie: One Saiyan actually.

Man: Our Emperor will not be pleased Miss Ellie.

Ellie: I know sir.

Man: Where are these Saiyan's now?

Ellie: The Counsil has sent them on a new mission.

Man: Where too?

Ellie: Aquas.

Man: Hm...But there's no military active on the ground. Miss Ellie...I think its time we show these Saiyan's what their up against.

Ellie: I agree sir. What are we gonna do?

Man: I'm sending you there...with back up. I expect you to lead our forces to victory. Now move out Miss Ellie. And do not fail me.

Ellie: Yes sir...Grand Moff Tarkin.

Ellie leaves the room. Grand Moff Tarkin continues to look over his papers.

Grand Moff Tarkin: The Saiyan's have joined the war...Our Empire is now at high risk...I was afraid of this.

Grand Moff Tarkin continues to look over his papers and he picks his pen up and he begins writing.

9/5/1099

1:00p.m.

Leon is talking with Celeste before beginning the assault on several Sith bases on Aquas.

Celeste: Lightsaber training? for your whole team?

Leon: we can't block Plasma blades with our fists one good cut and its over even for a saiyan, I just want to know where my team could get such training.

Celeste: Jedi Temple on Corsucant. I will see if I can make arrangements but you will have to present yourself infront of the Jedi Masters there and pass rigorous training.

Leon: That wont be a problem.

Celeste: we're a bit short on Jedi Masters though but Master Yoda and a few others will size you up.

Leon: what of Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Celeste: haven't heard from them, Tano is only a Padawan.. or was.. to.. Anakin Skywalker.

Leon: Oh I see... Thank you, now excuse me while we go liberate a planet.

Riley: Alright team move out, Leon you alright?

Leon: Yeah i feel just fine.

Riley: time to rock it.

they fist bump as they exit the ship as it touches down near one of the bases the weather is clear but quite hot and humid.

Riley: oh my galaxy it's like an oven...

Leon: must be summer on this planet...

the team gets close to the base but its deserted Leon looks confused.

Leon: What's going on here?

Riley: Something aint right here.

Sally: I don't see any of the Hanar either... were we too late?

suddenly energy bolts fly at them from all directions landing hits the team rushes to cover

Leon: AMBUSH WHERE ARE THEY!?

Bret: EVERYWHERE!!

the cover they're behind gets blasted apart by some thermal grenades the team runs between cover returning fire and destroying some droids.

Leon: Darnit!

the storm troopers rush the position only to get obliterated by a Kamehameha Sally was charging from cover she goes on a rampage smashing bots and killing storm troopers in her wake

Leon: SALLY! give her cover fire now!

the team covers Sally the troopers and droids just keep coming.

Fasha leaps into the air and rains down blasts like a bombing run a few imperial fighters swoop in firing at her Bret blasts them out of the air.

Ellie's ship approaches raining down fire from its many guns but Leon fires a Super Kamehameha taking the blasts out before they hit Sally notices a sniper lining up a shot she has just time to move infront of Leon and blasts the sniper just as he fires Sally is hit in the shoulder she collapses to the ground.

Leon: Sally!

Trooper: Press the attack go go go!

Leon: Darn you. GRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Riley: Sally! you're gonna regret that!

Bret: I don't get it, something dont feel right about this at all.

Riley: Later!

Bret: Yeah cover me ill get Sally

Leon is fighting off troopers the team takes out more as Bret moves in he grabs Sally and gets back to cover

Leon's anger explodes as he relentlessly returns fire Fasha keeps the aerial bombardment going til she's swatted like a fly by an imperial fighter she crashes into the ground near Leon he turns

Leon: Fasha!!

Leon takes a blaster bolt to the back he turns to the source of it with pure hate on his face as he forms a massive Kamehameha and wipes out the rest of the attacking force with it.

Fasha: oof.. that hurt..

Riley: did we get them?

Bret: someone's exiting that ship.

Ellie: these Saiyans.... I have only heard of their capacity for destruction seeing it firsthand... its quite impressive.. and a huge threat to our Empire. I will destroy all who oppose us.

Ellie steps out of the ship and stands infront of the Saiyans. Leon grabs Sally and Fasha and calls in The Guardian.

Leon: Im making it a bad habit of takin damage... sorry guys..

Riley: Go! get the wounded to safety I got this.

Leon: Get em...

Leon boards The Guardian with the wounded it flies to a safe distance.

Jenna: Doctor Jenna M.D Quack at your service!

Leon: Very funny.. ouch... dammit these blasters kinda hurt.

Jenna: yeah got ya right in the back and sally in the shoulder Fasha got winged a direct hit coulda been trouble from those fighters. you'll be just fine you three.

Sally: I... I went on a rampage again I just can't help it... I don't like this feeling.

Leon: you'll get control I promise, you'll be fine.

in the med bay they get treated for their wounds.

Leon: by the way Jenna, i talked with the asari councilwoman, she made no promises but she's going to see about letting Riley and the others get Lightsaber training at Corsucant.

Jenna: Jedi Temple huh? I see... I see. sounds good to me, maybe Obi-Wan or Tano will be there.

Leon: Maybe, but she said she didn't know their whereabouts.

Jenna: Hey let me hope...

Leon: ahh.. sorry.

Jenna: nah i know its a longshot.

back on the ground Riley and the others face down Ellie

Ellie: Played right into our little trap, there was never an assault on Aquas, the Council got fed false information by a Sith working undercover.. foolish apes you make me laugh.

Ellie takes a fighting stance

Ellie: Which one of you wants to die first?
