Jackie shook her head. "I don't think so. He used a personal ship to get to mine." She said. "But I think he might be able to contact some of the robots on it, or have a fancy remote tracker thing or something like that." Jackie said.

Elsewhere, deep in the forests outside the city was a search team of Scout Troopers on AT-RT's. One of the Probe droids found an old temple that had a handful of Rebel ships docked outside. They arrived at the temple. It was clearly old and made of stone rather than metal. It was in a large clearing. "Something's not right...." Said one of the Scout Troopers. "Garr, Krem, you two go check the west side of the temple. Rovar and I will take East. Everyone else, wait here. If you see anything report in."Said the Scout Trooper, as the search team split up.

The two Scout Troopers that went to the west side of the temple were met with the stolen AT-ST. It was lying on its side, a massive dent on the right side of the cockpit. One of the legs was torn off, and was sitting a few meters away atop the flaming wreckage of a few star fighters. Rebel bodies were scattered along the ground, having been brutally attacked by something.

The rebels were a mix of races. There were two of the local people. The Tzexl. They were slender Reptilian creatures resembling Skinks with their long slender tails and. The seemed to stand on bent legs about five to five and a half feet tall each. They had a dark green hide with a creamy underbelly and golden eyes. One had their eyes rolled back and body in unnatural positions. Somehow broken likely by a fierce blow. The other was impacted into some crates. Three humans were littered around as well as a Twilek whose body was half through the screen of an X-Wing. She seemed to have been thrown into it with great force.

"Sergeant, we found several Rebel corpses, the stolen AT-ST, and the Star fighters used in the attack earlier." Said one of the Scout Troopers. "Any of the native fauna get them?" Asked the head Sergeant. "No sir. At least, I don't think so." Responded the Trooper, as he and his partner looked over the scene. "What ever got them was strong enough to destroy the AT-ST though." The Trooper said.

As the Sergeant listened to the Trooper on the other side of the temple, he and his partner came to a large hole in the side of the temple. Debris was scattered across the ground, and the main cannon of an old AT-TE was embedded in a small crater several meters from the temple. A few more Rebels were found dead inside the temple and could be seen from the hole. The AT-TE was inside, missing its primary cannon, the cockpit shattered and bent inside into the pilot, and missing one of its legs. There were a few more destroyed star fighters, speeders, and shuttles inside as well. "What the hell happened here?" Asked the Scout Trooper with the Sergeant.

As the troopers moved further inside they would freeze upon hearing something sounding similar to a deep chirp. The sound was like a 'hark hark' that came from some of the darkened chambers. The power had gone out in the base as the generators used were damaged in the attack. The strange sounds seemed to reply from an adjacent room. The sound of a blaster followed by scurrying and movement came from a room.
"Get off me!" A cry came out as another two shrieks came from that room. Another blaster shot and something seems to hit the ground. It sounded quiet large.

tThe Sergeant and his partner dismounted the AT-RT's and drew their weapons, silently making their way to the sound. They swiftly entered the room, blasters ready. "WHOA! WHOA! DON'T SHOOT!" Yelped a Rebel Weequay. "Hands in the air!" The Sergeant ordered. The Rebel complied. On the ground, not far from the Rebel was a dead Qotl, a species of native feathered reptilians with panther-like bodies. They were about the size of a man.

The Rebel was clearly injured, partly from the Qotl, and partly from whatever had attacked earlier. "Go get a first aid kit." Said the Sergeant. The Trooper nodded before heading off. "What happened here?" The Sergeant asked. "W-We were attacked." The Weequay said. "Some massive Nautolan thing came. He attacked us." The Weequay explained. "We threw everything we had at him, and it didn't even leave a scratch on him!" He said.

The call went out and a team were on their way to collect the rebel. Even injured the Stormtroopers were not letting him down easily. It was about three minutes of eerie silence before two more troopers came up. They put a pair of cuffs on the Weequay and hoisted him to his feet. His wound was patched so he wouldn't die from blood loss but he was hardly getting a hospital bed. Now cuffed the troopers began bringing him back.
"You've got some explaining to do rebel scum." The Stormtrooper escorting him out said with their usual voice.

Once the Weequay was secured, the troopers continued inspecting the building. They found a small few other survivors, all shaken up and wounded, though the survivors were heavily outweighed by those that were found dead. A good portion of the computers were missing alongside all of the communications equipment, all clearly very carefully removed.

The troopers returned to the Sergeant, who was keeping an eye on the six captured rebels. "Report." The Sergeant said. "The base was heavily damaged inside as well as out. Outside of them, we found no survivors." One of the Troopers began. "Anything found on the computers inside?" The Sergeant asked. "Not much. A good portion of the computers were removed. The computers we did find had no valuable information on them." The Trooper explained. "All of the communications equipment is gone as well." The Trooper's partner added.

Having been informed of the discovery of the Rebel base Tenebres excused himself for the moment, leaving Jackie alone in dining room. She was alone for a moment. Tenebres went into another room and pulled out a small holo-transceiver. The device was round and fit in his palm. A hologram of the sargent came up as his call was sent to him.
"Sargent I have been informed you've captured the Rebel base." He says as the flickering blue image of the imperial lights up the room.

Jackie sat in the room and kept glancing at the omnitrix. She was anxious for it to be green again. The sooner she an get out of this place the better. There was a quiet beep. Jackie glanced at the omnitrix before breathing a sigh of relief. The omnitrix was green again, and she'd be more than capable of getting away from Vilgax should he find her.

"Yes sir." The Sergeant said. "B the base was destroyed. The few survivors all describe some sort of cybernetically or genetically enhanced nautolan with a rebreather. The say he shrugged off everything they threw at him and he destroyed their base. We found all of the communication equipment was gone, along with several of the computers. We don't know what was on them, and the rebels are unwilling to divulge this information. Atleast, not with out an interrogation droid." The Sergeant explained.

Elsewhere in the forest stood the massive figure of Vilgax. He stood before a large mix and math comm system he had built from the computers and communications equipment. He was typing into the console before a makeshift antenna raised into the air. Vilgax pressed a button on the device and waited, taking a seat on a gutted terminal system

"That is most unusual. Secure the base and lock the area down. I want a jammer set up for all non imperial channels. I send an order through to get walkers out there to secure the location. You've done well Sargent. A promotion may be in it for you. Just secure the remaining area and get the jammers up. Whoever attacked them and raided their tech will likely be trying to use it." Tenebres ends the communication once his orders are received and sends through an order for three AT-ST's to go out and secure the location. It had been about six minutes as he returns to the dining room. "My deepest apologies. But it would seem we've found this dangerous friend of yours."

"Yes sir. Thank you sir." The Sergeant said before the call ended. "Alright, you men get jammers set up and ready to go!" The Sergeant ordered.

After a few seconds of waiting, the screen lit up. It was staticy. "This is a restricted channel. You are to-Vilgax?" Spoke one of vilgax's humanoid six eyed drones. "Where have you been sir?" The Drone asked. An unidentified planet." Vilgax answered, before standing up. "Keep the scanners open for the omnitrix's signal, once you have detected it, mark and go to its location." Vilgax ordered. "Ye-" The Drone began, before the Storm Troopers had the jammers set up and active, cutting off Vilgax's communications. Now came the simple part of his plan. Jackie, like the other Omnitrix wielder, had a penchant for heroics. Vilgax knew if he caused enough destruction he would be forced to come out.

"Wait what?!" Jackie asked, her ears perking up. "D-Did you find him? Is he caught?" She asked.

"No, however we did find a Rebel base which we believed he attacked. Reports line up with what was stated by you and our shot down shuttles. Given the jungles contents it's unlikely he got very far. So I have a proposition for you." He smiles to Jackie hoping to win her over. "You provide the assistance in terminating this threat. In exchange I shall suggest you be pardoned of any transgressions you have committed here. Which from the sounds of it seem minor if what you say is true." He notices the omnitrix now being green but pays little mind to it.

"I haven't made any transgressions while I was here!" Jackie said defensively. "I crashed here because of a big nut job pirate guy!" She added. "Besides how am I supposed to help beat him?" Jackie asked. Even though with the Omnitrix she was more than capable of fighting Vilgax, she wasn't sure she'd win. On top of that, she wanted to keep the functions of the Omnitrix secret for as long as possible. Last thing she needed was someone else chasing her for the stupid thing.

"Your presence here without any ship or adequate evidence is enough to suspect you of rebel association. I'm trying to help you and in dealing with this 'Vilgax' we may help each other. You'll have Imperial support and all we need is your information. All of it. Now I need an answer. Otherwise you may be in a cell for a long time." He says as his tone gets grittier. He was losing patience with young Jackie.

"I've already told you pretty much everything I know." Jackie said, as she thought. "Only other things I can think of to tell you are things he's done." She added. "But outside of that, I don't know how to beat him. I don't know what tech he has access to right now. Hell, I don't even know if he has any weaknesses!" Jackie rambled. "I've told you just about everything I know about him." She finished, her ears drooping slightly.

By now Vilgax had set off to the city.

Tenebres looks down annoyed. Glancing off to the side he sees the now green Omnitrix. But in what can only be described as annoyance he ignores it.
"Then we have to restrain you till this ordeal is over. You'll be taken to a cell until this Vilgax has been dealt with." Pressing a small button on of the cylinders on his coat flashes. A moment later to Stormtroopers enter to escort Jackie.

Outside the Imperials were begining to close in. Having tracked down Vilgax's communication array he quickly set up they could see tracks leading to the city. They were maybe an hour behind him.

"Damn. How big is this guy?" One of the troopers asked, putting one of his feet into one of Vilgax's foot prints. To say the Trooper had smaller feet than Vilgax did would be an understatement. "Sir, we believe this 'Vilgax' is headed towards the city." Spoke one of the Troopers, another Sergeant, over the comm link to Frollo.

"Come with us." One of the troopers ordered. Jackie reluctantly obeyed before being led out. She was put in cuffs as the Troopers led her off. They led her through the temple, before stopping at a lift and going to one of the lower levels. The troopers led her to a prison cell. They searched her to ensure she had no weapons. One tried to remove the omnitrix but found it wouldn't come off.

Tenebres put the city into alert. Outside the walls an addition two AT-ST walkers were on patrol. Heavy gun emplacements were set up along the walls as well as rockets. Tie patrols constantly swept the walls and jungles nearby. Not even Vilgax could get into the city unscathed. There was enough munitions here to butcher a herd of Rancors.

Tenebres made it to his office were he over saw the operation he was briefed and was told that Captain Farlo had already been informed. Due to this several probe droids were dispatched around the walls. They were not taking any chances. Tenebres brought up a hologram of the city and the region of wall Vilgax was likely to strike was enlarged. Several troopers and two officers were in his office as they gathered around the holo-table.
"What's the most recent report?" The governor asks. An office on a data pad approaches.
"He hasn't been seen for some time but we have been following tracks and other details to have an idea where he's heading. This section of wall, assuming he keeps his trajectory, will be where he hits." Tenebres saw the firepower there.
"Very good. I want to be informed immediately upon any changes to the situation."

A few hours passed with little to nothing new happening. The guards remained diligent, standing at the section of wall that Viglax was predicted to arrive at. The trees shook slightly, drawing the attention of the troopers. A tree was launched out of the brush, slamming into one of the AT-STs and destroying it. Vilgax shot out of the brush, moving shockingly fast for an organism as large as he was.

As the AT-ST went up in flames before crashing down with a metallic thud the Stormtroopers opened fire. Laser blasts shot out in Vilgax's direction. The rhythmic chirp of the remaining AT-ST's blasters rang out as well as dozens of ringing blasters and the constant thud of the heavy gun emplacements. The jungle was being shredded as rockets flew towards Vilgax. Alarms rang out over the city and the entire Eastern wall and suburbs were locked down. Citizens were rushed to their homes as Stormtroopers took up arms and waited. The blaster fire echoed over the city.
