Iris and her men were getting ready for their shift,when an large explosion put everyone on alert. "Zephyr,Sky, Lander, and bowa get on point. Zell, Teal,and Ben go aid Obi-Wan and his team. The rest of you are with me." She yelled and the 707th split of with there tasks.
Obi-Wan pov
My team and I were pinned down having half of our men lost. Just as things looked like it was it. Black uniforms from the 707th came in to view. They waisted no time knocking the enemy back. "General we have to move." Cody yelled as we back into a hall the 707th covering us.
"Obi-Wan whats your location?" Anakin's voice came over the comlinc. "In a hall of the south tower. We are pinned down Iris already dispatched a group to help but could use more." I said "Hang tight we are coming." He said cutting communication. I was about to give orders when the glass shattered around Anakin and Iris both looking like birds of prey coming from the sky. Soon as there feet hit the floor their Lightsabers were ignited. We pushed the enemy back. When all was said and done we were covered in oil. "This was an eventful day." I said looking over the damage. " this will take a while to clean up." Zephyr said sounding oddly sad. Iris placed her hand on the clones shoulder. Could Zephyr be no no it cant be. "It will be ok Zephyr we all will get this place back up an running." Iris had an apologetic look on her face as she looked at the clone. "Thanks mom you always know what to say." Zephyr said before turning to the 707th. "Well what you lot waiting for get moving." With a yes sir the 707th start cleaning. I nod at Cody and my men to help. Anakin's team joined in three hours later we were done. One hundred and fifteen men killed. Odd part about none of them were 707th men. "Iris your lucky none of them were your 'son's' as you put it." The 707th looked at Iris before she spoke. "How many did you lose Obi-Wan? You as well Anakin." Anakin looked at her "57" he said with a bit of sadness. "58" I said not sure where she was going with this. "The 707th lost brothers today. No one was unscathed Obi-Wan. My boys lost brothers your men lost brothers as well as the 501st. So no I was not lucky no one is in this pointless war." She said before walking away. Zephyr and her men glare at me. "You just had to upset our mom come on lads. Lets go get ready for the sift."Zephyr said "but what about mom sir" one of them asked Zephyr looked at him and shook his head. This mad the men move even the one that question. "Wow she is pretty upset over the losses." He said "Her attachment to them will hurt more in the long run " I said heading to my room. I had to report this to the council Iris was a danger to the war. "Obi-Wan heard about what happened we did." Yoda said "You seem troubled Obi-Wan what is it?" Windu asked "It's Iris I think she has convinced her Unit to follow her as a mother. I have heard them refer to her as mom. Not General Tanooki or General Iris." Yoda laughed "Iris treats her unit as family she does. On their own the clones call her mom. Worry about this I do not." Yoda said "I myself have heard them refer to her in that way Obi-Wan. The 707th is a family unit they are all very close and comfortable with one another. It is an attachment I admit but her team doesn't let how they feel stop them from accomplishing their goals. So if they want to call her mother and she call them her sons so what." Mac said it was surprising because he is a stickler for the rules. "Been questioned on this Iris has. Know what the cost is she does." Yoda said making me feel childish. "We are sending reinforcements as well as a Padawan for Skywalker and Iris. May the force be with you." Mac said before the the transmission cut off.
Back on Coruscant
On a gun ship two young Togruta wait to meet their masters. "Hi I'm Ahsoka Tano it's nice to meet you." The young female said looking up at the slightly taller male. His green eyes met her blue ones. With a soft smile he bows to her. "My name is Seswak Lousha and it is nice to meet you as well." He said making the female blush. "I can't wait to start training under lady Iris. Although many from Yatoosa are Jedi none of them have been from the royal family. Well she is the first female royal. " Seswak said with excitement. "I hear Master Skywalker is the chosenone." Ahsoka said trying to be better than the male. He chuckled "ah adorable trying to make yourself feel big." He said patting her head.
