Capítulo 12: System of the twin Suns

Six months from when the Mandalorians took over the planet. Earth's first warship left the atmosphere. The significance of the event however was lost simply because for the Mandalorians that was a completely normal event.

It would take the three ships about six days to get to Tatooine. During the journey the commando teams where largely left to thier own devices, well all but Jacks team. To the outside world it looked like his team had deiced to go into cryo sleep until they had reached their destination. The truth of the matter is the spent every second in the force scape training with Revan.

Every second of the 144 hours they had was spent on mastering the force. Though all of his apprentices where strong in the force, Revan was quickly noticing that Jack stood out from the rest. The force spilled from his very being, but it was unrefined, however with time Revan knew that Jack's power would be un rivaled in all of the galaxy.

By the time the ship entered Tatooine orbit Jack and the others had master some basic force powers. Push, pull, enhanced speed and strength, but even a few had been able to use the ancient jedi technique of force heal. Trish was one of the lucky few who had an affinity with healing arts of the force. Though Jack and the others were sure at first this version of Revan that was teaching them was the Dark Lord.

The man did not shy from teaching them all sides of it. Revan told them, " What good dose it do to teach some one only half of an object. I will teach you the whole force what you do with it is up to you." So they had begun to learn the force from every aspect light and dark sides ,and because of that the time it would normally take a sith or jedi to master the basics had been cut in half by Jack and the others.

Jack had been in the troop birthing with the rest of the commandos when Sharia called for all of the Platoon leaders to meet her in the bridge for mission planning. Jack and three others rose and left the troop area and took the elevator to the bridge. Inside the elevator had been the first time Jack got a look at the other commando leaders.

Two of them had been Jacks new height of 6' 8" while one seemed like a giant at what Jack had to guess was 7' 9". Also each one had a different color scheme for their armors. The giant wore a Dark blue with gold linings as for the other two one wore a sort of camo with tan and brown outlines and the other wore green with black trims. As for Jack he wore the demon dogs black and red colors.

No one spoke and every one had their helmets on so Jack could not get a good look at them but it would not matter unless they all survived this mission Jack did not feel the need to grow attached to them as of yet. Walking out unto the bridge they spotted Sharia near one of the large command consuls near the front of the bridge. Turning to see the commando leaders had arrived. Sharia for the first time in the trainees presents removed her helmet and placed it on the consul.

"Take them off time to get a look at my men seeing how we are a little over 4 hours from boots on the ground." Jack was a bit stunned from how young she looked but that was it just a bit stunned. It still did not hamper his feeling of wanting to end her life with a slow twisting knife in her gut. The time was still not right for such thoughts so Jack followed orders with the rest of the commandos. The giant had been first, revealing an older european man about 38 of Norwegian decent. With short blonde hair cut into small mohawk.

Next had been the one in camo armor revealing a Chinese woman who looked to be about 20 with long black hair done into a braided ponytail. The green armor was next revealing a Native American Indian female around Jack's age of 17 and with one side of her long hair shaven. Last was Jack taking off his helmet and revealing his darker skin that had been beaten by the sun and short military style hair cut. Sharia recognized Jack on the spot laughing, "Haha... Well look at what we have her Jack right?...Look how far you have come are your little friends here with you too?"

Forcing the anger down Jack answer, " They are in the troop hold ma'am, I did not think you would remember us." Still laugh Sharia said," How could I forget you three....I mean you were their the day I took over your planet you and the others were so weak at that time, but look at you now only a few moments away from becoming Mandlorain commandos. Something many wish for in the clan and only a few achieve, you should be very proud of yourself."

To Jack every word she spoke was a transgression, but thanks to Revans training his face was void of any emotions. Satisfied with her interaction with the boy Sharia returned to the task at hand. She explained to her commandos all the information they had on hand and the exact battle plans the fleet had laid out. At this moment the Blacks Sun's stronghold near Anchorhead was being besieged by hutt forces.

The plan was to have the main troops land just south of the battle, and march up an attack both forces. Drawing all attention to the south while the commandos entered the stronghold through a smuggling the tunnel that connected the stronghold with Anchorhead. The tunnel was located in the spaceport near the center of the city. They did not have the exact location of the entrance however they was a local that had been paid to lead them to the entrance.

"Who's the local," Jack couldn't help but as. Sharia flipped do screens on a data pad until she found the info," A small time junk dealer by the name of Watto he's a Toydarian so I expect he will try a backstab you if the situation calls for it." Sharia had not noticed the surprise in each one of her commandos face. Of course they knew who Watto was, the slave master to one Anakin Skywalker and Shmi Skywalker.

Jack's mind was racing, what did this mean did he have Shmi and Anakin now, what was he doing in Anchorhead when he was suppose to be in Mos Espa. A million possibilities were running through his mind. He turned to look at the other commandos on the look in their eyes sent across the message, 'we need to talk now', and he whole heartily agreed. At this point Sharia mission had become a second objective in Jacks main. If they could get a hold of Anakin now they could possibly change the out come of the war and the future.

This would also be the best opportunity to see where in the star wars timeline they would be entering. If they could figure out when major events in the story were suppose to play out they could effectively force outcomes that benefited them. The rest of the meeting was a blur to Jack, Sharia when on about the importance of getting this target and how he was one of the one that help force them from their home. None of that matter to Jack though, so as soon as they had been dismissed the four walked as calmly to the elevators as they could, trying not drawing attention to them selves.

Once inside the giant hit a device on his wrist causing a momentary power surge then spoke," You all saw that right she doesn't know who Watto is so I can assume that they still don't know about the information on the star wars galaxy that we have back on earth." Jack turned and responded, " That would seem like the case mr..." The Giant laughed," Ha.. right I guess introduction are in order I am Hans, the unit am with if we make it is call the Dark Raven." The Chinese woman spoke next "You can call me Lin my unit is call sand tigers" Lastly to speak was the Native American woman ," Call me Sam and the unit doesn't have a name yet now can we get back to the topic at hand." She said impatiently.

Sam was right they did not have a lot of time so they shared as much information as they could about what they could do on the ground. During this information swap they discovered that the mandlorains did not care to try and learn our history or culture. If they did they might have found out about all the movies and books about the star wars mythos. This worked in the natives of earth favor but for now they would not act too much on this knowledge.

They all whole heartily agreed in the opportunity a rose to take Anakin and Shmi they would. Sure that would change the story line for Qui-Gone and The queen of Naboo but they could always come back and help them to make up for it. The only issue they had run into is the fact they had no idea what Sharia would be doing during the operation. If she stayed on the ship it would make things easier, but they were sure she was going to be on the ground with them.

They just did not know so until they had boots on the ground the plan would have to be put on hold. After the elevator reached the troop area they each parted ways and headed to where their troops were to tell them what they had learned. After Jack reach his group he had them all enter the force scape at once. Revan had to be informed of this development and he felt it was time that their master knew of what they all knew.
