A New Road[/glow]
With Wickwire’s news about how he couldn’t train her anymore, Katie felt a little sadness, but she also saw it as an opportunity to prove that she can become great by herself. She continued to train, becoming ever more skilled. She began challenging the other {EW} to duels, and she won most of them. Although she still couldn’t beat any of the squad leaders in a duel, she felt proud how well she did against them. She participated in many fights, usually finishing a foe in less than ten seconds.
During a time when {EW} was taking a break from battles to work on the economy, Katie decided to visit her brother Nick. It has been months since she had seen her dear brother. Her brother was on the plant Mustafar for a battle, so she had to fly there. Katie couldn’t take a public transport, since no one ever went near Mustafar.
So she borrowed an {EW} ship. This ship was named Protector. Designed by Wickwire, and built by K.A.L., Caz, and Squirrel, this was {EW}’s best ship. Faster than an A-wing, but just as well armored as a Y-wing, the Protector was a marvelous leap of technology. Sporting dual twin laser cannons on its sides, a personal ion cannon hidden by the cockpit, and concussion missile launchers on its underside, the craft could defend itself with the utmost ease. Katie bid farewell as she jumped into the cockpit.
“Take good care of her.” said Wickwire grinning. “Haha, don’t worry, I will.” replied Katie as she closed the cockpit. The craft lifted into the air and sped off to the lava planet of Mustafar.
Jumping into hyperspace, Katie made it to Mustafar in record time. The Protector had a class 0.3 hyper drive engine, the fastest in existence. Coming into the planets atmosphere, Katie looked for a spot to land the Protector. She found her brother’s band, and landed near them. She got out, only to be met by raised blaster rifles.
“Hold men. It’s my sister. Go back to your posts.” said Nick as he approached Katie.
“Sheesh Nick, your men sure are jumpy.” said Katie as she came up to give her brother a hug.
“Yes, the battle is fierce. Some have already broken down from the pressure.” replied Nick as he hugged his sister. They hadn’t seen each other in months. Nick felt a tear drip down Katie’s face, and he hugged her more.
“Sir, enemy soldiers are approaching.” came a voice over Nick’s headset.
“Again? They just keep coming don’t they?” said Nick as he started running towards their forward command center. Katie followed closely behind him. Opening the door of the command center, Nick ran up to a microphone.
“What’s the situation Captain Ivan?” asked Nick. A hologram soon popped up in the middle of the room.
“Sir! They have more than the last time. We are holding them off right now but we won’t last much longer unless we get reinforcements.” reported Captain Ivan. The hologram then faded away. Everyone was looking at Nick for a decision.
“It’s time to see what you’ve learned Katie.” grinned Nick. Katie looked up at him with the biggest smile she could make. This was the moment she was waiting for, to fight next to her brother in battle.
“I’ll be taking this one guys. Inform my squad; we’re going to end this. Send in other reinforcements to aid them so my men and I can discuss a strategy. Tell them to meet in the conference room.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they prepared for battle, Katie felt an urge of excitement rush through her. She couldn’t stop shaking. She finally calmed herself, and entered the briefing room. As she entered, an important issue was being discussed.
“We are short a commander. We need someone to lead Aurora Squad.” said General Scallion.
“I know I know, but no one is qualified for that position right now.” said Nick as he began to think. Katie walked up to Nick and whispered something into his ear.
“Are you sure?” whispered Nick back with uncertainty. “Yes, I’m confident.” said Katie with a grin.
“It’s settled. Katie will lead Aurora Squad.” Nick told everyone.
“Now hold on a minute! She’s a girl! Do you honestly expect HER to fight? She’ll just fall to the ground and start crying.” shouted General Scallion.
Katie then walked up to him with a very serious look. She set her blaster rifle on the ground, unbuckled her tool pouch, and tied up her hair. “Would you like to prove that?” asked Katie with a look of anger on her face.
“Ha, you’re challenging me? What’s this going to prove? You’re not worth my time.” laughed General Scallion. Katie grinned.
“Oh. So you’re scared? Scared of little ole’ Katie?” laughed Katie. General Scallion’s face tightened up with anger. “You’ll regret that!” screamed Scallion as he threw a punch.
Katie dodged the punch with ease. Scallion recovered and started to swing wildly at Katie. Katie proceeded to dodge every one of them. During her dodging, she whipped out her fist and nailed Scallion square in the cheek. Enraged, Scallion hit Katie in her stomach, and then proceeded to kick her in the head. Katie fell to the ground, but got up quickly, only to be met my Scallion’s knee. His knee hit Katie in her mid-section, stopping her. He then lifted her and threw her into a cabinet full of armor.
“See! You’re just a girl, not even worth my time.” laughed Scallion. But Katie stood up. “Is that it?” giggled Katie as she cracked her neck. Wide-eyed, Scallion watch Katie run up to him. Katie punched Scallion straight in the nose, followed by punches to his mid-section. Scallion grunted as Katie then tripped him with a leg sweep. Hitting the ground hard, he let out a quick shout of pain.
“Get up.” said Katie. As Scallion stood up, Katie kneed him in the face. With Scallion being knocked back, Katie took his arm and swung him into a wall. Scallion fell to the ground, unconscious.
“Is this over with?” demanded Nick.
“I believe it is.” giggled Katie.
“Fine, someone wake him up. The rest of you, get to your squads and go to your appointed locations.” said Nick.
“Yes sir!” said the crowd. With Katie leading a squad, they set up a perimeter defense around their area. Very soon they came under fire. “Battle droids!” shouted a soldier. “Fire at will!” shouted Katie as she brought up her rifle. Laser fire poured from each side. The battle droids were losing more units, but more kept replacing them.
“They’re endless.” said one soldier as he threw a thermal detonator into the throng of droids.
“Keep fighting. We will hold this position.” ordered Katie as she took down another battle droid. She looked at her kill counter after 20 minutes of shooting.
“Wow! I have 100 kills!” said Katie surprised. At that moment, a rocket blazed by her. It scraped her shoulder with intense heat.
“Ahhhhhh!” shouted Katie as she dived down to avoid any other enemy fire. “Medic!” screamed Katie as she threw an EC detonator at a spider droid. The droid sizzled with sparks and exploded with a brilliant flash of light.
A medic came running up, but was hit in the chest with a rocket. The medic flew backwards, dropping his medical supplies. Katie watched the medic disintegrate from the explosion. Katie took the medical bag and began to patch her wound herself. She occasionally took her rifle and gave suppressing fire to buy herself time to finish setting the bandages. The droids were moving in fast. The laser fire over Katie’s head increased dramatically.
She couldn’t even fire off one round. The sounds of hundreds of blaster bolts hitting the metal began to frighten Katie. She knew she couldn’t defend herself. She tossed her last EC detonator and started running towards an outpost. Right after the explosion of the EC detonator, the droids targeted Katie. She found cover, but was soon engulfed in missile and blaster fire. She saw a damaged Geonosian star fighter coming towards her, and decided upon a risky plan. She had one thermal detonator left. Using whatever strength she could muster, she threw the thermal at the cockpit of the craft. Hitting dead on, the pilot was knock out by the blast, and crashed into the group of droids that were assaulting Katie. The noise of the thunderous crash rocked Katie. Finally seeing that the droid forces were retreating from all positions, she limped back to base.
Back at base, Katie laid down on a bed in the medical room. She was so exhausted she couldn’t even move. Nick came in to see how she was doing. “You alright?” asked Nick with great concern on his face.
“I’ve been better.” groaned Katie. Nick reached into a bag he was carrying and took out a device. “Here are the battle results. The droids retreated for now. Look at the kills.” said Nick as he held the device in front of Katie’s face. As Katie read everyone’s kills, she noticed she had the second most.
“173 kills!” said Katie greatly surprised. “Yeah, I was the only one who had more, with 196 kills. You did great out there.” said Nick with enthusiasm. After two more days, Katie was strong enough to reunite with the {EW} clan. Giving Nick a big hug, she said goodbye and wished him the best of luck. Katie then departed, tears in her eyes.
Returning back to the {EW} base, Katie told of her adventures. It became rather long, and some {EW} went to do other things. Only Squirrel, Badger, and Wickwire stayed to listen to the whole thing.
“There’s one more thing I want to tell you guys.” said Katie as she finished her story.
“Shoot.” said Squirrel as he stood by the door. “I did very well as a leader in that fight, and I’ve been asked why I’m not leading a lot.” said Katie nervously.
“Don’t worry about that Katie.” said Badger. “Yeah, just follow what you think is right.” assured Wickwire.
“Ok thanks.” said Katie with a smile. About two weeks passed, and Katie had been talking to the {CM} clan quite a bit. She had befriended their leader, Samurai, and they talked a little bit. One day, during an {EW} discussion between Katie and Mandalore, Mandalore said something that got Katie mad enough that she almost punched him. Feeling that her opinions were always being criticized, she decided to leave {EW}, and join {CM} as part of their Senate. Wickwire tried to change her mind, but after saying a few sentences, he realized that Katie did not want to hear anyone try to convince her differently. He, and the other {EW}, said farewell to Katie. Wickwire and Badger came with Katie to a shuttle.
“I promise to keep in touch. After all, {EW} was my first home, and I consider all of you to be part of my family.” said Katie.
“Ok Katie. Be safe, and good luck.” said Wickwire. “Yes, I wish you the best of luck in {CM}.” said Badger. Katie gave each of them a hug and boarded the shuttle.
Arriving at the {CM} Headquarters, she was greeted by Samurai and other {CM}. Katie began her new Senate duties immediately. She started attending meetings and debates. She became active in battles, often getting the highest kill ratio. As she promised, she kept in touch with her {EW} friends. Katie soon became the ambassador for the {CM}, often going to other clans and visiting them. {CM} started gaining allies quickly. During this process of attending many meetings, Katie began to change. She became much more involved in political arrangements and trying to solve problems through negotiation.
On a diplomatic meeting with the =JK= clan, Katie’s transport came under attack by pirates.
“Everyone get to a turret! We must shoot them down.” yelled Katie as she climbed in a quad-cannon chair. The pirates were flying Z-95 Headhunters. Although an out-of-date ship, it still had the speed to avoid some of the turret fire. The pirates swarmed Katie’s transport, striking critical locations.
“C’mon people shoot them!” yelled Katie as she took down two pirates. “They’re too fast. Most of the transport’s turrets can’t track them.” said an officer. A second later, an explosion rocked the transport violently. Alarms started whining and lights started flashing.
“What happened?” Katie asked another officer. “We have lost shields Ma’am. We are not going to last much longer.” said the officer nervously. “Get to escape pods and set the transport to self-destruct in one minute.” replied Katie with a solid look on her face.
“Yes Ma’am.” said the officer as he began setting the timer. Everyone started running towards the escape pods. Katie hopped in along with two of her most trusted men. The pod launched off just as the transport exploded. The explosion cloaked Katie’s escape pod. They landed and took cover, waiting for the pirates to leave.
As soon the pirates gave up looking for more survivors, Katie and her men began to walk towards the =JK= base. After a few hours of walking, they could see the base in sight. As they walked up, several =JK= members ran up to them. “What happened?” asked one of the members.
“We were attacked by pirates. But we are fine and wish to get the meeting started.” said Katie.
“As you wish. Right this way.” said the other member as he showed them where to go. Inside, the meeting started and debates started flying. Katie kept a straight face on, not even twitching the slightest. Some of the other clan ambassadors saw this, and were amazed.
“She resembles Leia Organa Solo a lot doesn’t she?” said a mysterious voice.
“Yes she does. Leia would’ve loved to meet her.” said another voice. “She could easily lead a clan.” replied the first voice.
“I agree without any doubt. She would lead a great clan.” said the second voice.
“I shall talk to her after the debate is over.” said the first voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the debate, Katie went to a private diner to eat. As she just got done ordering, a tall man came up to her.
“May I sit here?” asked the man. “Sure.” said Katie with a strange look on her face.
“You were great at the debate today. Great speech.” said the man. “Why thank you.” said Katie smiling.
“I also heard of your battle on Mustafar. Another great deed.” said the man with a solid voice, not changing tone a bit. “How do you know about that?” demanded Katie.
“Don’t worry about that. What I came here to say is that you would make an excellent leader for a clan. You could start your own.” said the man as he stood up to leave. Katie watched him with a thoughtful look.
