--GAR Venator-class Star Destroyer "Krakatoa"

The morning seemed to creep ever closer as Kiana and Canderous sat in orbit above the planet. They were in her private chamber, both sat naked on the bed, looking out of the viewport, Canderous holding her in his arms as the sun began to creep over the horizon. Kiana squinted as the light flared from finally breaking the horizon and she smiled "No matter how many times I see it... It's always so beautiful." she said.

"I can think of several prettier things." said Canderous as he kissed her neck.

"Alright, lover boy, you know we can't do anything like that." she smiled pushing him away.

"I know... But sometimes, I just can't help it." Kiana then turned around to him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Well, maybe just a little." she then locked lips with him again, before suddenly her eyes shot open and she jumped back. Canderous was caught offguard.

"Gyahh, what's wrong?" he asked.

"I sense something..." she said, her back against the wall. "D... Danger... Impending..." she grabbed her robes and began to get dressed "We need to get to the temple." she gasped.

"You're Jedi senses tingling?" he asked as he began to pull on his armour.

"It's... It's like nothing i've ever felt before. Usually it's a nagging feeling, but this..." she pulled on the rest of her clothes. "We need to get to the Jedi Temple immediately." She opened her door and looked down the corridor, she had specifically chosen her room as it was in one of the only corridors of the ship to not have surveillance camera's. Nobody was there "Get going." she said, pushing him out the door, with his gauntlets not yet put on. She quickly kissed him on the cheek before she thrust his helmet into his chest and they each ran down the opposite ways in the corridor.

--Jedi Temple--

A Jedi Starfighter and Republic TIE Fighter touched down on the landing pad to the Jedi temple, just in time to look off into the distance and see explosions flare up. A Gungan Jedi ran towards them. "Yousa sensen it too?" he asked.

"Indeed. take my fighter, I think we're about to get invaded." she said to the jedi. He was Master Rak-Rel, a Jedi Ace and one of her friends at the temple, he had been also been apprentice to Plo-Koon, and had followed him in becoming one of the orders most celebrated pilots. The Gungun vaulted into the fighters cockpit and it began to lift off. She and Canderous then ran into the temple and too the briefing hall. The invasion was progressing at an alarming rate. ships now in orbit, as well as ships attempting to land and capture one of the airfields. She passed Skywalker as he headed to mobilize the 501st. "Master." she nodded to the council member as she passed him. She looked at the briefing table as she saw the hologram of the planet blanketted in red "Hostile" signals. "We're going to need reinforcements..." she growled. Unfortunately, most of the 139th were still in space, so mobilizing them to defend the airfield was out of the question. "Stay here." she ordered Canderous. "Provide orders to the fleet, i'll go with master Skywalker and defend the airfield." she said to him.

"With all due respect ma'am." Canderous began "But the Admiral can direct our ships much better than I can, you'll need as many bodies on the ground if 80% of those transports break through." he said.

"Orders coming in." said Appo "Mandelorian forces are attacking the Anti-Orbittal defense cannons. requesting reinforcements."

"I'm on my way." said Kiana.

"We're on our way." Canderous corrected.

--Present time--

Kiana and Canderous had just secured the third turret as the drop-ships poured through the clouds. "Is there no end to them?" she grunted, then watched in stunned silence as the hooded figures began their approach, she saw Master Varrik moving to intercept. "The fool, he'll be killed if he tries to take them all on at once. She saw another, large dropship moving towards the planet. She could sens that it was full of Mandalorians. She reached out her hand and could feel the mind of the pilot through the force, she began to concentrate harder than she knew she was supposed to, causing chaos in his mind, twisting and turning it, scrunching up his very thoughts. The pilot slumped forwad on the controls and the ship went into a nose-dive towards the ground, smashing and exploding violently. She hated performing such acts of Darkness, but it was to save another Jedi... She would bury her feelings for now.

"You need to do that more often." said Canderous as he grabbed a sniper-rifle and began to fire shots into the droids that approached.

"No I don't... Hold here with the men, I need to help Master Varrik." she said, running and jumping away.

"WAI- never mind... YOU HEARD HER, MAGGOTS, WE'RE CLONES OF THE GREATEST MANDO THERE EVER WAS, SO WE HOLD!!!" He roared to their small squad. There was a reply of horrah's.

Kiana, on the otherhand had made her way to the second gun before finally running to the side of the scar-ridden, human Jedi. "It's odd that we find ourselves back to back." she commented as they slowly advanced towards the dark Jedi "The two of us that have seen the Dark side of the force and both have rejected it. Let us hope that that choice served to extend our lives rather than shorten them." she said to the Grey Jedi.
