Chapter 10: The Final Showdown

"You think I won't do it?" Fox confronted. The sky was covered with dark clouds on the planet of Ryloth (which was the current planet they were on) just like those clouds on the planet of Naboo covered its sky. It seemed as though that those clouds from Naboo had come to Ryloth, even though it was not actually that case. Thunder exploded in the distance, getting ready to make its move. "You think I won't pull the darn trigger??" Fox confronted once more.

"Look at yourself, Fox," Stone began. "You practically begged for Ahsoka Tano be behind bars for a murder she didn't even commit AND didn't hesitate to shoot Fives on sight for a crime he too did not commit. So to answer your question, yes. I think you will do it."

Right after that statement, thunder once again roared in the skies, getting ever so much closer. They both looked up into the sky. Fox removed his helmet which revealed a face of disgust. His hair was slicked back unlike his original hair back during the Clone Wars. "I've a lot of people during those days. I didn't want to lose any more. They-" Fox was cut off by both thunder and the person he had a gun pointed to.

"Those "people" were your brothers. They are not as expendable as you think they are," Stone cried out. More lightning flashed from afar and getting closer to them by the second.

"You know, I was never sorry for anything I did in the past. I don't even regret killing Fives. But now, I am sorry for one thing... and that's this-" Cocking his pistol, Fox aimed it higher at his former buddy's head while they both closed their eyes. BOOM! Stone at first thought he was deceased but when he reopened his optics, he noticed Resistance Militia Squadrons ten, eleven, and twelve ambushing the Empire blockade on Ryloth. With that, Stone grabbed Fox's gun out of his hands and punched him. Led by a clone arc trooper commander named Blitz and a Jedi master named Patrick Rahr, the Republic has united and new Republic has formed. A new battle raged on.

They could all hear the silly noises that came from Patrick Rahr's mouth. Making all of those Tarzan noises, he swooped in and sliced a couple of stormtroopers. Arc Commander Blitz rushed in with his anti-armor weapon and shock blasted stormtroopers. "We are the Republic! We will never fall!" Blitz yelled out. Now, there was a hint of sunshine peeking out through the dark clouds. Gunships took off from both parties and inaugurated to blasting each other out of the sky. R.M.S. troopers got behind cover, formed a tactical and strategic plan and they commenced to do it which forced the stormtroopers to fall back. Now, those gunships who were in the air took a jump to the solar system and out of Ryloth's system.

Stone socked it to Fox anew. Fox got back up and rammed his whole body into his opponent's and he fell back. Fox did the same thing to Stone that Stone did to Fox. Both of their faces were camouflaged with blood. Typhuss, Thire and the others have already left Ryloth and had no desire in assisting Fox. Stone kicked Fox off of him in addition to holding one of Fox's own DC-17 pistols. "You know, Fox. I, myself, am sorry for a lot of things. Things that other people have done to me but this... this is going to make me sorry for you," Stone said, holding the gun at Fox. Commander Fox's eyes bulged wider than any eyes before. He gulped. Stone took in a deep breath and pulled the trigger. Fox was down. Commander Blitz went over.

"Stone!" Blitz shook his hand. "Patrick, the troops and I have outnumbered the enemy and they are falling back. We have taken Ryloth thanks to you and that beacon you had on you the entire time."

"Bless you, Blitz. But where is Crane?" Stone replied, looking around for him.

"Don't worry, he's safe at our base," Blitz replied smiling. All of the gunships returned to all of the Alderaanian war frigates. Unfortunately for them, there are still mysteries to solve for another day; where is Princess Leia?
