Captain Arc of the 303rd clone battalion of the Grand Army of the Republic

Operation Knightfall

They had done it, Summer and Jaune had found a way back to Remnant, but with the war still in full swing, the 501st and 212th had to leave. That did not mean that Remnant was not unguarded, the 303rd clone battalion and the 212th's "Rose" company had stayed as the planet's garrison, turning part of Forever Falls into their new base. This gave Jaune and Summer the chance to catch up with their friends and family and the clones the chance to learn about Remnant. Not long after the completion of the newly dubbed "Keeli" base, the Jedi decided to investigate the planet, eventually creating a small temple out a unused part of Beacon, who then began 'recruiting' from the people of Remnant, which didn't always sit right with the locals.

Sadly though, not all Jedi were alike, and that included the vast majority of the Jedi on Remnant, they treated the troopers of the GAR like droids, which put them in the clones bad books. It was after a rather brutal verbal assault by a Jedi in Keeli base that Jaune and Summer were looking over a holomap in the base's command centre. "These Grimm movement's are far too coordinated for my liking." Jaune stated as he studied the map, his phase 2 helmet slung beneath his left arm, "yeah. Listen Jaune, there's something I need to tell you, it involves the Grimm, I just never thought I'd ever see ho-Remnant again."

Before Jaune could ask Summer a question about her choice of words, and her info on the Grimm, the base's long range pinged with a incoming message. "What are you- hold that thought. Incoming message from Coruscant? Wonder what's going on." As Jaune accepted the call the map was replaced by man in a black cloak who spoke in a gravelly voice. "Captain's Arc and Rose, the time has come. Execute order 66."

As the figure uttered the last syllable, Jaune and Summer immediately stood straighter, as though a switch was flipped and their brain briefly felt as if it was on fire before responding coldly "as you command, Lord Sidious." As the dark lord of the sith terminated the call, a mon cal Jedi, the same Jedi who kept insulting the troopers, entered the command centre. "Captain's, what have your analysis uncovered?" When neither answered, the Jedi, in his most arrogant move yet, moved towards them, not noticing that Jaune's and Summer's hands were moving towards their pistols. Nor did he notice that every clone trooper in the room had placed their hand on their head. Seemingly in pain before they quickly shook their heads and gave the Jedi their undivided attention.

"Captain's Rose and Arc, answer me, NOW!" The Mon cal yelled in disgust at being ignored by his soldiers, but he immediately stopped in surprise when they turned and drew their pistols on him. Only then did he notice that every clone in the room had done the same thing. "What do you think you're doing troopers?" He yelled in outrage until he heard the last words he would ever hear from his now, former troopers. "Good soldiers follow orders." As the final words left Jaune's mouth, every one in the room opened fire, the Jedi died before he could even draw his lightsaber, and as his body dropped to the floor Jaune began to issue orders.

*30 minute time skip*

The sky was filled with LAAT's packed with troopers, all of Keeli base was empty for this assault, their target? Beacon's Jedi temple.

Inside the LAAT's there was none of the usual banter, every single trooper was silent until internal comms blurted "90 seconds to deployment, red light red light." Upon the closing of the line, red light flooded the compartment and the clicks of weapons that were being checked and safeties that were turned off.

"Green light." And like that the doors opened and the LAAT's dropped their cargo, and as they moved, a squad from the 303rd joined one from the 212th in securing the landing pads. No one was leaving alive.

"Hey, do you guys know why mom and Jaune are here with their men?" Ruby asked as she watched the troopers move in a column formation towards the are that the Jedi had, 'requested' from the council of Vale. In Ruby's opinion... along with a good portion of Vale, the Jedi moved and acted with a "holier-than-thou" attitude whenever they leave their temple. It was an attitude that managed to annoy everyone. Even Roman Torchwick and the White Fang hated them because they were taking kids to turn into more Jedi, which had the parents amongst the Fang terrified. And it certainly didn't help that they had a stick up their collective asses that could reach the highest point in Atlas, from the planet's core.
