Canon, not canon... WHO CARES?! (If you understand the reference, then congratulations) these omakes can be canon or non canon, up to you, I will keep writing them though.
This particular omake is canon though.
It was a normal day on the Venator 'Defiance', the engine hummed with life as the cruiser was preparing to make the jump to Ryloth and help the Twi'leks against the CIS. As Captain Keeli, General Di, and Lieutenant Jaune Arc, walked down the corridor away from the hanger bay, hoping to get some good food from the canteen before the rest of the battalion got their hands on it.
As the three rounded the corridor though, a trooper accidentally ran straight into Jaune, causing the two to fall to the ground with a solid thud. "Sorry about that sir. I'm in a bit of a- Jaune???" The now revealed Crash started explaining before noticing that he had collided with his Eel Tee and best friend.
"Crash? It's okay, but are you in such a rush though? We still have a while before we enter the Ryloth system."
"I know vod, but some of the others are hosting a gonk riding tournament in the main hanger bay in ten minutes. And I REALLY want to take part in it."
"Gonk riding tournament?" General Di asked with a confused head tilt.
"Old tradition from home sir, we did it as cadets. Most normal part of a childhood for any of us." Explained Captain Keeli with a nostalgic smile on his face.
"well then, I suppose that food can wait, gentlemen, with me. We're taking part in this tournament." General Di said with a smirk.
As the group of four quickly made their way to the hanger bay, they were greeted by the sight of Slam holding onto the top of a gonk droid that clearly gone mad. Laughing like a loon the entire time.
Ima-Gun Di looked around and noticed that clones were holding credit chits and cheering as the droid kept trying to get Slam off. And with one final jump, it succeeded.
The surrounding clones erupted in cheers and credits changed hands as a member of the flight control team used the PA system. "And Slam is kicked off and setting the new battalion wide record of two minutes and 14 seconds! Are there any new challengers willing to dare their life against MMMAAADDD CCCLLLAAANNNKKK?!?!"
With the declaration echoing across the hanger, many clones were surprised when they heard the sound of a lightsaber activate and General Di yell out "I call the next challenge!"
The response was immediate from the PA system. "General, the rules are that you must leave your weapons behind, and as a force user you are forbidden from using your powers, and before you ask General, we already had the rule in place due to General Ti taking part."
"I understand, out of curiosity though, what does the winner get as a prize?"
"All pudding from the cafeteria for a week and 70 credits... plus, there's the bragging rights too."
"I see...... let's get this over with then." With those final words, General Di handed his lightsaber to captain Keeli before jumping on top of mad clank and quickly grabbing hold on a handle that had been bolted onto the top of the droid.
At that moment the droid went wild and began jumping around, catching Ima-Gun-Di off guard. The look of shock and surprise on their General's face would forever remain in the troopers brains and laughter quickly mixed its way in with the cheering. To the clones shock, their General lasted only 20 seconds and was launched in such a way that he knocked down the entire sixth squad. Laughter erupted across the hanger bay, with even General Di giving a loud bark of a laugh. The resulting pile of troopers and the General would become the most famous photo and vid file across the GAR.
"Captain Keeli is next!" Keeli called out and began marching towards Mad Clank, his weapons were still inside the armoury onboard the ship. The resulting battle between clone and droid grabbed everyone's attention, with the good captain even letting off a few mando'a curses before being launched by Mad Clank onto the pile of clones that General Di was only starting to get off. The resulting collision resulted in the pointed end of the captain's helmet to collide with the General's 'privates'.
The hanger bay erupted in laughter as the Jedi and Clone collided and credit's changed hands again. A voice then yelled out "Jaune is next!" As the entire hanger turned towards Jaune with his armoured fist raised high. Bets were placed quickly on how long the young Arc would last against the insane gonk droid. The PA then crackled into life as the clone announced. "Next up is lieutenant Jaune Arc! Will he be able to last the new record of two minutes and 14 seconds? Or will mad clank throw him off before even ten seconds? Place your bets now!"
With all bets placed and a few medics treating the injured Jedi, Jaune took a deep breath before jumping onto the top of mad clank, who quickly began to live up to his name. The gonk jumped left to right, forwards and backwards, leaned as far its legs could, but Jaune wasn't budging. Seconds dragged on and Jaune still held on for dear life. Until eventually, Jaune was finally thrown off just as the gonk droid shut down.
"With a new GAR wide record of ten minutes and 59 seconds, the winner is JJJAAAAAUUUUUUNNNNEEEE AAAAARRRCC!" The clone announced through the PA system with cheer. This led to the hanger erupting into cheers at Jaune's victory. But they couldn't celebrate for long, and so. The 303rd quickly made ready for the battle that was fast approaching.
