It's only been a few weeks since Rona was born. Ezra , Sabine and Mira spent a ton of time with their new daughter. Mira played with her little sister every day. Everything was going smoothly in the clan. There was no attack from the Empire. Fennec and Alex were happy with each other. Everything was passing joyfully and without a single moment.



Sabine sat on the throne looking at the three most important people in the galaxy. Ezra was playing with Mira and Rona. It was going to be another good day. Until Fennec walked in with the news

"Sabine. Your parents have arrived. They say , it's important:"

Wren-Bridger got up from her throne. "If it's important , let's not let them wait" She took Rona in her arms. Ezra took Mira and he and Grey left the throne room.




Clan Wren was waiting on the landing pad. Sabine and Ezra along with their children. Matteo Shepard along with Ahsoka looked at the family

"I'm proud of them." Shepard began "Thank god i left baby oil."

"What?"

"Nothing , nothing" Matt sent Ahsoka a smile "Such one rapper had a lot of baby oil. I don't know why he needed it. Lately famous people on my planet are touching children. Stupid is my world , I'll tell you that much Sokka"

"Ok," Tano answered. Sabine looked at her mother

"Mother , Father. What brings you to us?"

"It's something very important for us. For our culture. There is a very important person with us. Our leader of our culture and people. " Then a red-haired woman in blue and silver armor emerged from the ship. She approached Ursa holding her helmet in her hand.


"Bo-Katan Kryze" Sabine spoke her name "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Likewise" Kryze answered "I've heard about your Clan. And about your husband" She looked at Ezra

"We haven't seen each other in a long time" Bridger said "Do you remember me?"

"Ezra Bridger. Jedi. You used to chase your master. You've changed. I had to check what Ursa told me. She wasn't wrong," Bo-Katan said. Then a man in white armor stepped out of the ship.

"It is an honor to meet you Ezra Bridger" He approached the Jedi extending his hand. "Amari Vizla. Leader of Clan Vizla and husband of Bo-Katan."

Ezra shook his hand "How do you know so much about me?"

"Information to Mandalore has been coming fast lately. You've given the Imperials the runaround" He laughed giving the baby on the ground "This is our daughter Contessa."

The little Contessa walked up to Mira. The red-haired girl looked at her

"I am Contessa"

" And I am Mira"

"How old are you"

"Five"

"Mhm. As old as me."

"Shall we play?" Little Wren-Bridger asked. Contessa nodded her head. The two ran to the fortress. The rest also went to the base.




They were all in the command center. Bo-Katan turned on the holostool presenting things from the disk , which she put in.

          

"Our people have informed , that Moff Gideon is planning to attack Mandalore. He has a large fleet , which is capable of destroying our entire people. In addition, they are being assisted by the Saxon Clan. Specifically, the children of Gar Saxon. Tarro , Shae , Dormian and Aiden Saxon. The last one is the current leader. They are a threat to our people. If we do not defeat them . our future may be in jeopardy." Bo looked at Mira and Contessa.

"We have almost all the Clans. Clan Wren before reaching you. The question is whether you Clan Bridger join our fight and the Mandalorian council.

"I'm joining you," Sabine said, "I don't know about Ezra." She looked at her husband.

"I liberated Lothal. And other planets. Mandalore is the planet that unites this people. If my wife agrees. Then so do I. Clan Bridger is with you" Ezra decided

"I'm glad" Bo-Katan said "We only have one last Clan left.

"Which one?" Bridger asked

"Clan Awaud" Amari answered

"I've never heard of this clan" Sabine replied

"It's a clan from the old days. Their base is on the planet Xorm. Nam Beroya is the leader. He's an old acquaintance of mine," Amari explained

"Then let's fly." Ezra suggested. Everyone nodded and left the command center.






An hour later, the Clans emerged from hyperspace over the planet Xorm. The gunships left the cruiser. The ships entered the planet's atmosphere. To everyone's eyes appeared craters , destroyed separatist stations and other wreckage that remained.

"This is the home of the Awaud Clan," Amari began "One big battle. Nam and his people just like you are giving the Empire a bone. Its whole life is one battle."

"I see." Ezra looked at the wreckage "One big pile of dust."

"Nam doesn't care about the cleanliness of his planet. The wrecks decorate the planet."

The canon ships landed in front of the Awaud clan headquarters. Everyone got out and stood in front of the gate. Two guards aimed their blasters.

"State your purpose of your visit," muttered one of them.

"I am coming to Nam Beroya. It's about Mandalore. Can we talk?"

Then the gate opened. The leader of Clan Awaud and his escort stepped out to meet him. He clutched his helmet under his arm.

"You have the balls to come here Amari" Nam began "You have Jedi with you. You think , I won't notice those lightsabers."

"It's a friend" Vizsla answered 'I want to talk'.

"Follow me" Nam waved his hand. Everyone followed him inside.




Ezra looked around Nam's camp. The harsh and brutal surroundings surprised him. A mass of tents and caves surrounded him. Warriors fought against each other in sparring matches.

"Nice view huh?" Nam puzzled Bridger, "Here is my clan. These people are driven by anger towards the Empire."

"I can sense it" Ezra answered

"I'm guessing" Beroya answered. They all entered the middle tent. Nam sat down on his throne.


"Well. What do you want from me?"

"The Empire will attack Mandalore. Our people are under threat. Moff Gideon wants to destroy our culture," Bo-Katan explained

"Why should I help?" Beroya asked

"We need the last clan to defend us. You are the last on our list" Amari answered

"Mhm" Clan Leader Awaud stroked his chin.




"Daddy?" A little girl called out. Nam turned to her.

"What is it Vera?"

"Who are these people?"

"These people are . . ." Nam looked at the Mandalorian "Our friends. Come to me," Beroya beckoned to her. Vera hugged him

"Do you have a child?" Sabine was surprised

"I adopted her" Nam admitted "During the raid on the prison transport she was alone. Without anyone. He adopted her without a second thought. I want to give her a home , which she did not have."

"I have two daughters. I know what it's like to have responsibility. Vera can fly with us and play with other children." Bridger suggested. Nam looked at Ezra and Bo-Katan.

"Clan Awaud is with you Duchess." He stood up with Vera in his arms. "What's next?"

"We're going back to Concordia," Bo-Katan said. After a while, everyone left the camp.





The Mandalorians returned to Concordia. Vera ran up to Mira. Ezra's daughter quickly befriended her. The Clan leaders gathered at the holostool.

"Okay everyone" Bo-Katan looked at all the members. Clan leader Elder and Rook appeared on the hologram. "The plan is this. My Clan and Vizsla stay in Sundari. Rook and Elder take care of the air. Wren , Bridger and Awaud take care of the land. Clan Bridger cruisers will create a blockade , which will stop the Empire ships. If all goes well , Mandalore will be saved. Our people will survive. Peace will finally prevail. Gideon is unpredictable. One must watch out for him. And on the Saxon Clan. They are worse than Gar and Tiber. That's it. Go back to your planets." Kryze finished. Everyone dispersed and returned to their planets.






Night

Ezra and Sabine were in bed. They both wondered what to do next.

"Bo-Katan's plan is too simple" Ezra admitted 'I have a feeling something will go wrong'.

"You have to trust her" Sabine hugged her husband "I believe her"

"Maybe" Ezra closed his eyes "Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow is the big day"

"Good night Ez"

"Good night Bine"
