The Rebel Faction

Teebo's wavespeeder shot across the blue oceans of Calamri towrd the newly built floating city Ackbar. It had been built when MCR regained control of their homeworld, and was named after the famous Admiral.
It was a magnificent crafted structure with a slight resemblance to the Mon Calamarian Star Cruisers. It had a bumpy surface, bumpy but smooth. Ackbar City was meant to resemble an MC-300 abttlecruiser, because of the cruicial role that they played for MCR. In the center of the city, there was a statue tof Ackbar that stood over 200 feet tall. It was sculpted in his honour, for he was a hero to the Mon Cals, and was built of a rare stone found deep on the ocean floors of the Calamarian oceans. The stone was nearly indestructable, but very rare.
Teebo switched on the comm unit and said "Wavespeeder A-457 requesting docking coordinates." and waited patiently.
A gravelly Mon Cal voice replied "Permission granted." and transmitted the coordinates.
Teebo thanked the Mon Cal and cut the transmission. He flew the wavespeeder over and disembarked onto the city.
------------------
When he got to the center of the city, at the statue of Ackbar, he saw that there were hundreds, no thousands of Mon Cals there. They were turned towards the other entrance as if waiting for someone, and Teebo thought that he knew who.
He approahed an older Mon Cal in the back of the crowd and asked "What's everyone doing here? Are they waiting for someone?"
"Yes", the Mon Cal replied. "we're waiting for Emperor Teebo. He should be arriving any minute now."
Teebo chuckled, and the Mon Cal turned his head towards him. The Mon Cal gasped. "You-You're-"
"Yes, yes, I'm him." Teebo said. Several of the people nearby had glanced over as well, and they also made a gasp. As Teebo watched, it looked as if a giant ripple was moving through the crowd as they al began to realize he was there and turn towards him. The Mon Cal beside him made a gurgling noise in his throat, as if he couldn't speak, and motioned Teebo to a rasied platform. Teebo walked over and mounted it. The crowd was totally silent now waiting for him to speak.
"How nice it is to be among fellow Mon Cals again." he paused, and several in the crowd cheered. "I have been away from home for far too long, but I promise you that I will never surrender the planet again." More cheers. "We have may more ships, and as you can tell, a large protion of them are defending here, with the others ready to be called in immediatately. I won't ever abandone you again." Even more cheers. "But now, I have some personal bussiness to attend , so if you'll excuse me..."
He stepped down off of the platform, and the crowd parted to let him pass. He walked out of the square, and took a turbolift down to the diving area.
--------------
Several minutes later he was dressed in a watewr proof divers suit, with one of the symbiote membranes for breathing pressed over his face. He swam through the waters of Calamari gracefully, using smoth, powerful strokes to propel himself. He could have used one of the jets, but it had been so long since he had swam in the deep waters, and felt the joy and freedom, so he chose to go without. He swam for a long time, going deeper and deeper. Finally, in the distance he saw is destination.
Severl hundred metres ahead of him he saw a cluster of caves jutting from the ocean floor. He felt out through the force, and sure enough, he could feel his old friend's presence, someone he had not seen for a long time.
Too long Teebo thought. His friend had came to Calamari and hid in those caves because he was ashamed of his cations, and had seen many deaths in his lifetime.
Teebo swam up to the cave, and manuvered into the opening. Once he got in he pulled himself up and out of the water with his muscular arms. He stripped off his equipment, and hurried down the rocky entrance. As he got to the end, the cave opened up into a larger area, and he saw a Mon Cal nearby, laying down on a small but comfortable looking bed. Teebo went over and sat in a chair, waiting for his old friend to wake up.
----------
Several hours later, the sleeping Mon Cal stirred and opened his eyes. He looked around the room, and saw A Mon Cal sitting in his chair with his back faced to the bed. Something about the Mon Cals posture reminded him of something. The Mon Cal turned to face him, and his heart leaped into his throat. It was Teebo.
"Snowkan!" Teebo said, and embraced him. "It's nice to see you again." He let Snowkan go and stepped back, s if to get a good view of him."How are you?"
"Good." Snowkan replied. "If you're here, does that mean..."
"Yes, it's ours again, finally. It's so good to be home."
"Why did you come to see me? I made MCR the laughingsotck of the galaxy." Snowkan said, with sorrow in his voice.
"Because you're my friend, and nothing can change that."
"I should have died," Snowkan said, very quitely, "I should have died. It would have been better than this torture. I still do not understand how I survived."
"You survived because you were not meant to die yet." he paused. "You still have many great things to do."
Snowkan looked away, so that Teebo couldn't see the look on his face.
"If you're going to ask me to come back, I won't."

"Exactly. I can sort of use this as my hidden identity." Teebo said.
"So you're saying that you don't really want people to know who you are, and that used to not really be that great at all?" Josef said.
"I was always great, whether it be known or not, but yes, you're right, I don't really want people to know." he replied.
"How about we go have some fun now, to sort of catch up on everything we could have done?" Alyssa said, her voice full of hope. They had been best friends for many years, and had done almost everything together.
"Sure."
----------
Teebo and Alyssa walked into the lower levels of the city, towards the diving area. No one stopped their work to salute Teebo, and most did not look at them. Helooked so different than he did a short while ago. He now had 2 identities. Emperor Teebo, and Jeori. One old one young, one serious, one not.
Several minutes later they both had their waterproof suits and breathing apparatus's on, and were swimming in the murky deths of the Calamarian Oceans.
"It seems so odd," Teebo said, speaking through a comlink, "To actually have to pay for the rental of one of these."
"That's what a normal person does." replied Alyssa, and grinned.
"Not that that is a bad thing. It brings back old memories."
"Yes, we used to swim all of the time. It was so fun." she said.
"So why can't it be now?" Teebo said, and propelled his body close to hers. They grabbed hands, and began a slow spiral. They accelerated, spinning faster and faster, until they were only a blur. Teebo let out a whoop of joy.
"It's been a long time since we did this." He said.
"But it's still just as fun as every other time." She replied, her joy clearly distinguished in her voice.
"You speak as if everything is different now."
"Well it is. That was five years ago. You were 16, and I was 13. We're both older now."
"Does that really matter?" He asked, "We're still the best of friends."
"Yes, but we're both different now. You've changed, I've changed, the world has changed."
"But our friendship hasn't."
"Good point." Alyssa replied. She bagn to slow their spin.
"Awww, we were just starting." Teebo said, but once she released him, he seemed distorted, as if dizzy.
"Sure, that's why you can't swim straight." she said "Besides, we still have to go to the cave." She swam off, towards the right. Teebo followed.

OOC:Snowkan, I was going to get to you later. You're to anxious.
IC:Teebo and Alyssa were sitting inside a small yet comfortable cave that was deep beneath the oceans of Calamari. They had discovered it many years ago, when he was 12 and she was 9. They had explored a lot then, and knew their way around under the oceans remarkably well.
"It's been a long time since we last came here." Teebo said.
"Yeah, but we really couldn't could we?" she replied.
"No, I suppose not, but still."
"I know what you mean." She hit him playfully on the shoulder. "It's been a long time since we talked, so I was just makinnng conversation."
Teebo made a short laugh. "And I knew that that was what you were doing."
"I sort of figured that." She grinned. "Seems we know each other quite well."
"We do."
"Good point." she paused for a moment. "Did you ever try to find me?" she asked in a low voice.
He frowned. "Of course I did. But it isn't exactly easy when the planet is controlled by the Empire, you know."
"What if I had left?"
He grinned. "I knew you wouldn't."
She hit him across the shoulder again, and grinned too. "Stop that. It's creepy."
"You do it too." he pointed out.
"We knew each other for so long, it's sort of natural. We can guess what the other will do."
Neither spoke for a while. Alyssa was the first to break the silence. "I could always sort of tell what you were feeling, Jeori, and I know that there is something troubling you."
"It's nothing."
"No, it isn't. I know it's bothering you." she punched him in the shoulder, a little harder than before. "C'mon, you can tell me."
"It's just..." he shifted uncomfortably, "Well, I sort of have to go somewhere soon. You know, bussiness."
"Oh." Alyssa said. "And what might that bussiness be?"
"The Barabels asked if they could join MCR. I have to go and speak with their government." he paused. "I'm sorry I have to leave again so soon."
"It's alright." she grinned. "How about you take me with you?"
"I'm not entirely sure if that would be wise, Alyssa."
"Nobody will care. You know, you can't hide who you are forever. Besides, I bet people will like you better this way." She smile grew larger. "I do."
"Alright, I guess you can come. I mean, it's not like there will be any danger."
----------
Several hours later, Teebo and Alyssa were taking a shuttle up to the huge Mon Calamari Cruiser, Teebo. Teebo wanted to take plenty of ships, so that the Barabels would be convinced that MCR was strong, and would join willingly. And it was also a sort of safety precaution. Teebo also had 6 MC-200's coming as well. It would be quite a show of force.
When Teebo had firsted tried to get a shuttle up to the Star Defender, the pilot had not known who he was, and so naturally, he refused. Now the pilot was silent, trying to hold back his shock, but it was clearly evident. The pilot had had no idea who he was speaking to, until Teebo told him. Although Teebo did not look quite the same, he was clearly recognizeable when a name was supplied, because the look was similar.
---------
Several minutes later, Teebo was on the bridge of the mighty Calamarian Cruiser. He could be recognized easier now, becuase, although not exactly the same, he did wear his military expression once again. He looked somehow happier.
Beside him, Alyssa gaped in awe at the huge ship on whcih she was currently aboard. She had never actually been on a Calamarian Star Cruiser, or any spacecraft for that matter. She had never before left Mon Calamari.
As Teebo looked over a her, he could see her extreme uneasiness. He squeezed her arm. "You'll be fine. Don't worry."
She looked up at him and smiled weakly. "I know that, but it doesn't really comfort me any. You, of course, know that I have never been on a ship before."
"Most first-timers are a little nervous." He turned and looked at his crew. "Set course for the Barab System."
"Already done, sir." A female Mon Cal said.
"Excellent work, Ensign." he watched as the stars faded into long lines, and they reverted into hyperspace.
"ETA 46 minutes, sir." another Mon Cal said. When they regained Mon Cal, they got a new supply of the species to crew their ships. Teebo had been recently built, and recieved a full crew of the species.
"Excellent. I am going to be in my quarters. Inform me when we are five minutes from arrival." Teebo said.
"Yes, sir."
Teebo turned, and motioned for Alyssa to follow. He walked down the curved hallways of the Star Defender, until he reached the turbolift. He waited until Alyssa was inside, and then closed the door. He turned to face her.
"How do you like it so far?" he asked.
"The ship is so big." she said, with wide eyes.
"Yes, it is a little overwhelming the first time around. I was in awe when they put me on the Imerator-Class Star Destroyer, and this is almost four times as long."
"I can't even imagine how much firepower it has."
"You haven't seen anything until you've seen our full fleet." he boasted. "We have 16 of these, and 8 more even bigger ones." He paused, and spoke again, more quitely. "Not that I like having all of this firepower, because it results in a lot of deaths, but it is a lot."
She gaped in awe. "The full fleet must be quite a sight."
"It is, it is. It would have to be a very rare occasion to see it all together though. With that many ships, it would be too difficult to command. It would be too cluttered, and you would suffer from friendly fire." he said, and then stopped. "I don't suppose you would really care, though." he added.
She laughed, a strange bubbly noise. "Not really." Just then the turbolift stopped. They both got out, and went into a room a little ways down the hall. It wasn't a large room, but it was a decent size. Teebo could have had it made 8 times as big, but that would just be an abuse of power. No one needed that much space.
He walked over and flopped down in a chair, and motioned for Alyssa to sit as well. As she sat, he looked at her head. Like most female Mon Cals, it was more steamlined, and smaller than the males. As he examined it, he saw a scar that had not been there before.
"What's that?" he wondered aloud.
"What?"
"Oh, the scar on you head." It was long, almost a foot in length. It was actually quite obvious, and he was surprised that he had not noticed it before.
"You remember when..." as Teebo listened to her, he could hear the uncomfortable edge in her voice. "... we were being chased by the Imperials. And.. well you know what you did." she smiled, but it was forced. "After they got you, I tried to go back, but they shot at us, and a bolt grazed my head."
"Oh." he said. "Looks like it was very painful."
"Not as much as losing you." she said, her voice small. Teebo saw her shoulders shake, and he realized that she was crying. He reached out, and reluctantly put his arm around her.
"It's all my fault." she sobbed. "If I hadn't tripped, you wouldn't have had to go back for me, and you wouldn't have got captured." Her shoulders shuddered. Teebo pulled her in close.
"It wasn't your fault. It was the Imperials, for coming in the first place. They had no right to be there. Don't take the blame for things that you had no control over." He held her tighter. "We're both safe now, aren't we?"
"Yes but-"
"No buts. We're both happy now, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now let's go up to the bridge, because I expect that it's almost time." His comm unit rang. "Correction, it is time."
He pulled it out of his pocket and flicked it on.
"Five minutes to reversion, sir." A Mon Cal voice said.
"Excellent, I'll be right there." He shut it off, and walked towards the door. Alyssa did not follow.
"C'mon." he said. Reluctantly, it seemed, she walked forward, and followed dbehind him, not speaking.
Several minutes later, Teebo was on the bridge, in conversation with one of his officers. "How are all of the systems running?" he asked. Teebo was a new ship, fresh from the shipyards, and this was the first time it had operated with a full crew.
"Everything is good. One of the starboard Turbolasers malfunctioned but it was only a minor poblem, so it waas repaired." the officer replied.
"Excellent." Teebo looked at the timer, and noted that there was five seconds until reversion. "Looks like were there." he said. The starlines slowed, then shrank back into normal stars, and the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser returned to normal space.
"Right on target, sir." an officer said.
Teebo looked out, and saw Barab 1 nearby. It was a rocky, mountainous planet, with no really large bodies of water. Teebo figuresd that the air would be dry. He didn't really like that, but if he wanted to befriend the Barabels, he would have to stomach it.
"Kind of ugly, isn't it?" Teebo said, turning toward Alyssa. She nodded numbly, and it was then that Teebo realized that she had not seen any other planet except Mon Calamari.
"I have to go down there now." he said. "Do you want to come?"
"Sure." she said, having regained control of her voice. She still seemed as if she was in awe.

"Come in." Teebo said. The door lid open, and he saw the streamlined head of Alyssa enter.
"Hi." she said.
He looked at her, and he instantly knew there was something wrong. "What is it?" he asid, with considerable distress displayed in his voice.
"I guess I should know better than to try to conceal something from you." she said. "To put it simply, I don't like it here. I want to go back home, to Calamari. I'm not comfortable here."
"Yes, I was thinking that we should get going soon. Give me a few minutes and we will be on our way. Would you care to accompany me to the bridge?"
She nodded her head.
Several minutes later, they were both on the bridge, and Teebo was in conversation with one of his senior officers.
"There is not much else we can do here." Teebo said. "It would be best if we returned to Calamari."
"Yes, I agree." the Mon Cal said. "But don't forget that you promised to leave some ships here."
"I didn't forget. I planned to leave the Ethen Allen and the Koralelov(sp?)."
"That should be sufficent."
"Excellent." he turned to face the rest of his crew. "Ensign, plot us a course for Calamari immeadiately, and inform the Ethan Allen and the Koralelov that they will be staying behind to defend. Inform the Ambassador of our departure as well."
"Yes, sir."
Within the minute, the Star Cruisers had turned, and enetered hyperspace, en route to Mon Calamari.
------------
The next day, Teebo was back on Calamari. He was walking around in the lower levels of Reef Home City, waiting for Alyssa to meet him there. He heard some light footsteps behind him, and turned around to see her approaching.
"You're 37 seconds late." he said, grinning. "I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show or not."
She punched him in the shoulder, and gave a short laugh. "Is there some reason you wanted me here?"
"Yes, there's a friend of mine I want you to meet. He lives under the oceans, in a cave." Teebo said.
"Let's get going then."
They walked down several more levels, until they were at one of the diver areas. Alyssa and Jeori changed into the water garments, and swam out into the murky depths of the ocean.
Half an hour later, they came to a small series of caves. Teebo led her into one of the middle ones, and came up above the water. He pulled his suit off, and she did as well. They walked down the narrow tunnel, and at the end it tapered into a large opening, Snowkan's home. He was sitting over in a chair, fiddling with something on his lightsaber. He stood up abruptly as they walked in.
Teebo was the first to speak. "Alyssa, meet Snowkan."
Snowkan looked at her, then turned to look at Teebo. "Why are you here?"
OOC:Snowkan, your post now.

"Just wanted to see you again, that's all." Teebo said. "And to inform you that another planet joined MCR. Barab 1. You've heard of it, right?"
"Yes, I have." Snowkan replied.
"I thought so." he paused for a moment, and no one spoke. The comm unit on his belt beeped. He pulled it off.
"What is it?" he said, with an angry tone to his voice. "I asked you not to contact me."
"Sir, it is important. We recieved a distress call from the Barab system. They are under attack. The MC-200's can't hold it off for long."
Teebo swore. "I'll be there as soon as I can." he flicked it off and turned to Snowkan.
"It will take too long to swim. Do you have a submersible?"
OOC:Snowkan, for the purposes of this roleplay, you are going to have one. It is your choice on whether you let us use it, or if you come with us and help defend the Barabels.
