Lumenix wasn’t in the greatest mood. He was forced to fight before being given the chance to mourn his Master. And then to sweeten the deal they placed him with his least favorite Jedi. The one and only, Master Jedi, Mace Windu. That wasn’t even the worst part. The real kicker was that Master Windu made it seem as though they were buddies, that everything was a-okay and that his new protege wasn’t fiving him dark looks and middle fingers behind his back. Definitely not Padawan - like. But here’s the thing, as a Padawan Learner, Nix was supposed to learn how to keep the peace. Although, he often wondered, how you keep the peace in times of war? More importantly, how do you keep that same peace, with a person you can’t stand? According to his last Master the answer was simple. “Put your differences aside, and afterwards, do what you can for defenseless. Protect the innocent, calm the restless, stop the deadly.”<br/><br/>Nix was snapped out of his musing by the sound of footsteps.

Be on alert for anything out of place.” With a nod to the Master Jedi, Lumenix walked behind the elder, accomplished Jedi to the hanger. He walked up to the clone squadron that was formerly assigned to him and his former leader. Their commander, Serlena, somewhat of a friend to him.“Hey Serlena. Get ready! I heard those bugs are big, ugly, and hard to kill. Won’t be a problem will it?” He smirked. She was one of the best fighters clone fighters he’d seen he really hoped that in 2-3 hours when everything was said and done, he wouldn’t be eating his words.
