Cody approached the down Mandalorian and removed his own helmet as well. Tucking it underneath his left arm he extended his right arm and grasped the man's arm tightly.
"Well Jaccien, seems we arrived in the nick of time. Commander Cody and company at your service. No single vode would have stood a chance against such an attack. Luckily the team was all together today at once or I fear we wouldn't have made it through to the last man."
He looked back at his team who was reloading, checking each others armor and doing an after fight check list. Seeing his team working together and preparing as they should he turned back to Jaccien.
"Jaccien, do you know what is happening? Why these Wookies would attack us, much less attack themselves?"

Jaccien looked around at the carnage that was left after the fight. He knew there could be only one scenario. His father had been fighting the Sith on this planet almost his entire life. Though the Sith had moved on, the darkness they spread had a deep hold on part of the population.
"Dark Wookiees. My vehicle went down a few miles out l, and when I awoke I was being clawed by a Wook."To most that would not seem strange. But Jaccien knew Wookiee culture very well. It was forbidden in Wookiee Culture to use their claws for combat.
"The Sith my father died fighting on this planet still have cast a dark hold on the Wookiees. These other Wookiees here know of me and my fathers legacy and were probably trying to save me."
Jaccien though back to the battles of his child hood. Sith on Mando, Wookiee on Wookiee. It was gruesome, but a necessary evil.

Cody followed Jaccien's gaze, eyeing the carnage. He sighed and shook his head.
"Yes.....breaking the law of no claw is an unforgivable sin amongst the Wookies. The sith presence just have been strong here to drive them to such insanity."
Cody wouldn't know, he had not been involved with the Sith conflict here upon Kashyyyk though he always knew there was a dark presence here. Then Shadowlands where infamous, after all as where the horrific creatures with in it. Warped and twisted by the dark side, they where truly monsters.
"No what we plan, we are going to need help. It will take time for him to get here, but he will certainly be a major factor and help, especially with the dark and normal creatures of this world."

"Aye, we have a small encampment bout a hundred miles out. Out numbers are not great but we do have plenty of weapons. If you would like to join us in our effort to secure a stronghold upon this planet"
Jaccien hoped they would join. They needed all the help they could get, especially from fellow Mandos. If they would join that just made them one step closer to securing the Mandos as a group. This plan was very important to Jaccien, because of the tree cover and the over all lack of technology, Kashyyyk would make for a great spot to hide and rebuild so that the universe may finally feel the Mando wrath once again.

Cody listened to Jaccienn and nodded slowly. "We will follow you vode and help you secure this stronghold. In the mean time, I will contact somebody who use to be under my command and now works....independently. He will come to my aid, and to the aid of the vode. He's a dependable, capable young man who will greatly help our cause."
He raised his right hand, swirling a finger his head. The team fell in, gathering around Cody and Jaccien. A blaster pistol was extended, offered to the unarmed vode to defend himself with on their way to where ever it was the outpost was located. They would fight well, if anybody else attacked and protect Cody and Jaccien until the new male arrived.

Darth Sithoous slowed his speeder bike aind began reaching out through the force. His subordinates quickly flitted past him as they began to stalk throughout the city. Heading towards where the commotion was last, and where blood still touched the air. He had a small squad of Wookiee and Bothan soldiers of the KS. About 25 under his command were scouting the city and reinforcements were on the way. With an army gearing up for standby and soon could arrive within the hour if needed.
Sithious sent out his dark tendrils, sensing the minds and force signatures of those sentient beings within his radius. After several minutes he had locked onto a Mandolorian life force and sped up in their direction. He began barking orders to his units. And they began to get into formation as they closed in on the Mandolorians.
"I want all my Bothan snipers on rooftops and high grounds. You take command of the grunts..oh him? He's touched by grrawwrggrr madness..send him in with explosives to soften them up. Don't eat raw meat and we wouldn't have his problem...Wookiees..pfftt."
<<Rowrclaw I want you and your task force to stay hidden but close, until ordered otherwise.>>
Darth Fang the survivor is almost in sight and I believe he may have backup. Will report back with more info soon, Sithoous out.

Jaccien took the blaster with a nod. If there were Dark Wookiees here before, surely they would be swarming in no time after that spectacle. He quickly changed his communications from open to closed bucket comms
We need to go -now-.
Jaccien noticed that things had gotten a lot quieter. He did a quick scan through his visor, but did not immediately find anything unusual. But sometimes his Mando instincts were more accurate than any technology could be.
Something is not right here vode.
Jaccien slowly clicks his blaster from 'safe' to 'fire' and begins to slowly make his way towards the exit of the city motioning for his new companions to follow along, all while continuing to scan the area.

Running only on repulsors now, tuned to run silent without the tell-tale whine of most repulsor engines, the invisible Baudo-class yacht floated through the trees with casual ease, only beginning to slow when it reached the break in foliage that denoted its arrival in the archipelago section of the planet. It didn't take long for its jedi pilot to find a stable enough growth on the side of one of the giant Wroshyr trees and set the ship down, and the toggle of a few more switches engaged the active camouflage that would make the ship appear as a natural part of the tree, while still consuming much less power than the full cloaking suite had to draw. So little, in fact, that the draw would be imperceptible on the ship's ionization reactor.
With the ship settled in, Saris unbuckled himself and made his way to the rear of the vessel, specifically the small detention facility he'd had installed which currently held a man he'd come to know fairly well over the last few days. While he was pretty sure he still couldn't trust him, he knew he needed more than just his own wits and training to do what would be required here. This man had training and powers he did not, and was willing to use them however they would be required. He may not yet be as powerful, but he had the potential and the will to learn. That was enough for Saris' purposes. Stepping into the room, he stood facing the force cage with his hands clasped behind his back. He wore a sleeveless tunic and loose leggings with no shoes, and sported a pair of vambraces adorning each forearm.
"Kahzak. Can I trust you not to kill me if I let you out?"

"I would assume me peaceably allowing myself to be taken prisoner would be a testament to that Saris."
Kahzak was sitting in a meditative position on the floor in the middle of the force cage. His eyes were closed as he spoke to the man and he knew that the only reason that he would be released was if they were at their location.
"I may have been sith, but I was never an animal. Now may I have my equipment back please?"
After he spoke Kahzak's eyes opened and he stood. Unlike most sith his eyes weren't corrupted from extended use of the darkside. True he had powers stemming from his emotions, but deep down Kahzak truly believed everything he did was right and just. He had agreed to be a prisoner for this jedi in an attempt to liberate a people. He believed that not all Jedi teachings were wrong, and was even willing to accept some of them for his own. All this being said Kahzak was still an arrogant teenager. He loved the thrill of battle and the fuel of his emotions. He knew very well tht to get the jedi to let him join their ranks was a dauting task. However this was his first step on the road to redemption.

He hesitated only a moment before deactivating the cage and gesturing to a cabinet against the nearby wall. "You still haven't explained why you did that." He eyed the sith as he collected his belongings. "But that will have to wait. Right now, we need to get moving. Follow me." He didn't wait for a response before heading to the boarding ramp and disembarking the ship, and only paused when his feet landed on the tree beneath them, at which point he slowed briefly before picking up his pace again until he was out from beneath the holographic disguise. It was only then that he stopped and stretched out his mind, reveling in the feel of the planet around him. Peaceful as it may seem at first glance, this planet felt familiar. It felt like a place he might be able to call home one day, dangerous and predatory, just like he was. Almost involuntarily, his fangs bared themselves in a soundless snarl as he leaned his head back and let the planet sweep him away in its embrace for a moment before pulling his mind back to who and where he was.
"That way." He raised a hand and pointed to their left. "The nearest settlement is several kilometers away. We'll need the swoop bikes."

Kahzak nodded and walked forward retrieving his belongings. Among them was a rebreather, a standard single bladed lightsaber, a double bladed lightsaber, and his armor. After donning it he quickly descended after Saris. Watching the Jedi bare his fangs Kahzak smiled. He could feel it to, the primal needs of the planet, the strength, the passion, the power. For a brief moment he closed his eyes and allowed himself to bask in it, when Saris pointed towards the left and made his suggestion Kahzak nodded.
"I've handled one before, but navigating them through this jungle could be dangerous. we should only take them so far in case there are enemies on the prowl. if there are other sith on this planet you should let me make contact as we ambush them."
Kahzak smiled when he made his suggestion to Saris. He knew the man didn't trust him, but he could feel the force emanating off of him, and so far Saris had given him no reason to dislike him. In fact compared to how Kahzak had been raised Saris was rather gentle. He had merely put Kahzak in a forcefield, if another Sith had captured him he would have been tortured for days on end.
"Regardless of where we are going or how we get there you lead the way, and if you see a way for me to help just tell me. My sabers are at your command."

"Oh I'm sure such a situation will make itself known." He said in response to his companion's offer of aid. "While an ambush as you say may become necessary, I would prefer to avoid direct confrontation so soon after arrival. Unless we are forced to it, we should try and remain anonymous. We don't have any knowledge of the situation here, or even of where to find the one who sent the message. We'll start looking in the nearest settlement." At that, he moved to the ship's externally accessible storage compartments and pulled free a pair of Flare-S swoop bikes, both colored just as black as the ship from which they came. "Come on. We'll stick close to the trees, but most of the journey will be over the waters of the archipelago so you won't have to worry too much about fancy flying." Mounting his swoop, he waited for Kahzak to do the same and smiled as he fired up the main engine. "Still, you may want to use the goggles." He'd heard humans couldn't tolerate extreme speed as well as his own species, or quite a few other things for that matter, so while he had no need of increased eye protection it did occur to him that the sith may not have such high tolerances. When Kahzak signaled he was ready, Saris fired his engine and gave it just a touch of the afterburners, launching himself off the tree and into the open air of the archipelago.

Kahzak nodded at Saris's advice and slid the goggles over his eyes and revved the bike. As Saris launched himself out of the tree Kahzak followed suit and they freefell for a short period of time before evening out. As they sped off into the distance Kahzak couldn't help but smile he loved the feeling of riding the bike. As they rode Kahzak adjusted his saber so that he could easily reach it with his right hand and still control the bike with his left.
Kahzak fell behind in line with Saris and followed the other man's lead. When Saris turned or leaned Kahzak would follow suit. Suddenly speding up so that he was riding directly to Saris's left Kahzak spoke up. "So what is our primary objective right now? Are we at war? Are we running reconnaissance? Are we expecting enemies and if we encounter hostiles what level of force am I allowed to use?"

Jaccien heard the shot, but it was to late. The round priced through the sky and hit the Mando in front of him in the head. The Mando dropped to the ground. It was a bad situation... His vode was out in the open and Jaccien could not get out to get him.
Vode are you alright? VODE ANSWER IF YOU ARE ALRIGHT!!!
There was no answer, he could only be knocked out, or he could be dead. There was no time to be sure. Jaccien knelt down and looked back at the Mandos behind him.
Be advised there are still hostiles in the area. We need to get out of here now. I know that man was your vode, as he is mine, but if we don't move we are all dead. I promise one day we will come back for him.... Alright I'm on point. Stay low, move fast, and stay right on my heels.
Jaccien took a deep breath and took off jumping right across the downed Mando. He would be in the open for about 150 yards before he could jump off this platform down 20 feet to the next one.

The sniper was clambering down from his position when the Mandolorians began to take off. He quickly rushed and dropped down and was about to sprint towards his target when he noticed them sprinting towards the end of the platform. He quickly brought up his rifle and took aim. He had seconds left, and any backup was at least a minute away, he needed this. The Bothan stopped breathing, everything was blocked out of his mind and attention except the fleeing targets under his scope. He was able to fire off 3 shots before smoke began to blur his view. The bothan dropped his sniper and reached back behind himself bringing out his other weapon. The Bothan lifted his grenade launcher and took high aim, a grenade whistled out the barrel, intending to finish off the survivors before they could escape from sight again.

It seemed like a lifetime as he crossed. At about 3/4 across, what he hoped would not happen came into action. One of the rounds nicked his beskar helm and knocked him off his balance. As he fell another round penetrated the unarmored shoulder joint on his right side sending him to the ground. Leaving the third one to miss all together
"Kad kriffing Harringer"
He groaned these words out of the pain in his shoulder and because he saw a grenade flying through the air. He tried to get up but it was to late. Right as he scrambled to his feet the grenade landed behind him, blowing him forward and off the platform. As he was flying through the air he managed to look back and see the wooden platform crumble from the grenade, making him lose sight of the commandos.
It seemed as if he was going in slow motion as he was flying through the air, until suddenly he made contact with a wooden Wookiee building crashing through the roof going into the structure below. After he hit the floor he looked around at a Wookiee family, they looked back in anger. After about 5 seconds the male of the household picked Jaccien up and threw him down to the next platform 10 feet down.
Another hard landing... Jaccien did not think he was going to make it as his body ached with pain. He finally picked himself up to his feet and limped himself into another Wookiee hut. Seeing no one was home he sat down, propping his back up against the wall to the immediate right of the door.

The grenade exploded with an an angry fireball of destruction. One of the pitiful Mandolorians had jumped on top of the grenade, dampening the explosion and somewhat lessening the impact that was intended. Another Mandalorian that had the misfortune of being too close was blasted backwards away from his comrades. He too lie still still on the ground as bits of his brother finished falling from the air. The sniper began issuing directions and providing all the information that he could. He then began sprinting as hard a he could towards the fleeing Mandos
Lord Sithious, two more are down but the others, I estimate at about 6 or 7, managed to escape. I'm in pursuit but they have distance on me, over.

Jaccien got himself together. He was in serious pain, but he was separated from his group and the only way out of the city he had to fight his way out. He checked his gear and everything checked out fine except for his comm system. It must have been damaged in the explosion.
After his gear check Jaccien moves out of the hut. He moves slowly taking large slow steps with his rifle at the ready. Anything that Jaccien hears or sees move he aims his rifle at quickly to make sure it is not a threat. He continues this as he moves towards the other side of the city.

Reports had come in of an armed Mandolorian vandalizing and terrorizing Wookiees. Sithious got in touch with the Wookiee tribal guards and made sure the message was spread about this incident. Sithious sped towards the last sighting of any Mandolorian. Meanwhile some of his other soldiers that were closer headed towards the damaged houses and screaming Wookiees.
A Shistavanen warrior ran up to one of the Wookies with a translator in hand. It was an older Wookieee and he was upset and screaming, his fur wild and disheveled as he roared to the skies.
"Graaaawwwerrgg. Rrraaaghhooorooooaaaa grrrrhhhhhhummmmphh"
The Shistavanen listened to the translation and relayed the information back to the others. He sprinted down the hole in search of the Mandolorian, his snout sniffing swiftly searching for uncommon scents.
