Once the republic fell and the empire rose to power, the men that was once commandos where assigned to train the new batch of commandos. We will be following a group called Delta, this was a name that had spread through the years and became very famous. The leader, Wilk, he was a tall thin teen that came from Coruscant before the planet was destroyed by the death star. The next one was the first female to join the imperial commandos. She came from Concord Dawn she was the second in command and loves explosives. Her name is Jezz she had dark brown hair that rolled down like a dark brown waterfall. The next one is Nex he came from a warrior village in the Eadu system. He had done some bad things on his planet and thought the empire would be good for him. His family had always taken part of wars, this was a walk in a park in his eyes. The last one was a girl from Lothal she had only joined the empire so that she can leave her planet. Her name is Bez, she was a tall smart lady. Bez is also a master at splicing she can splice anything.
The last shuttle for the week is about to land.
“Hey what is all your names?” Asks Nex.
“My name is Bez I came from Lothal and can hack into anything that is in front of me.” Said Bez.
“Hello, Bez, I’m from Eadu my village is one of the only warrior villages remaining. I love heavy weapons and explosives.” Said Nex.
“My name is Jezz I came from Concord Dawn, which is in the same system as Mandalor. I as well love explosives.” Said Jezz
“My name is Wilk I came from Coruscant and I’m the leader for our squad.” Said Wilk with a snicker.
Nex looks over to Jezz and Bez with the “Why me expression”, they both laughed.
“Wilk do you miss the city life?” Said Nex.
“I do but I was told that we will be stationed there for our next assignment, let go ahead and set some rules since we are going to be a team. One…” Wilk was then interrupted by the pilot coming over the intercom.
“Attention cadets we are on approach to the Mandalorian capital. Once we land you will have five minutes to get off my ship.” Said the pilot.
Jezz looks down at the landing platform and sees her farther. “ why is my dad here?” said Jezz.
“Jezz that is your dad!” Said Nex.
“Yes, I guess he is in charge of the commando academy. Nex you might want to have a word with him because you have not stopped staring at me since you have gotten to know me.” Said Jezz.
“I did not think you saw. I guessed wrong, but I was just in awe.” Said Nex.
“Nex let us have this conversation later... alone, after we get settled.” Said Jezz.
The shuttle lands with a thud the boarding ramp opens with a cloud of mist reveals the leader of the Mandalorian commando academy. “Hello cadets and welcome to the Mandalorian Commando academy where you will be beaten and shown the way of the Commando. Your hearts are pure and full of Imperial blood you all will be tested to the max.” Said Tutan. He looks over to his daughter Jezz.
“Jezz you made it I’m glad you did.” Said Tutan.
“Glad to see you to dad, it has been a while since you where home.” Said Jezz.
“Here are your guys room assignments.” Said Tutan.
“Nex you and Jezz are near each other and it is the same for Wilk and Bez. Nex I’m certain that you won’t do anything to hurt my daughters feelings.” Said Tutan.
“I will not sir, I promise.” Said Nex.
“Good because us Mandalorian’s have great ways on killing the enemy.” Said Tutan.
“DAD, Stop and let us get going I’m going to show Nex and Bez around the capital. I know when you’re watching so don’t make me go off the radar.” Said Jezz.
“Fine, tonight you guys can go out and explore.” Said Tutan.
Once Jezz and Nex go far enough away she turns me around and kiss me on the lips.
“Jezz what was the for?” Said Nex.
“I see that you really care for me, since you did not run away like the others I have brought to my dad, I feel like you will do what you said. Also, to tell you the truth I want to be with you to the end of times, but we must keep it under raps until we are away from my dad.” Said Jezz.
“Wait you feel the same way?” Said Nex.
“Yes, and because our “squad leader” seems like a creep, I want you to replace him. I feel like you would be a better squad leader and if you get on my dad good side then maybe he will try you out for the squad position. Wilk is just some rich kid from Coruscant, his parents probably paid for his way into the commando academy. Yes, I do care for you as your face shows I think that I’m in love with you.” Said Jezz.
Nex looks at Jezz and sees Wilk peak his head out around a corner. He taps on his data pad and holds it toward Jezz. Jezz looks down and sees “Wilk is hiding behind a corner a few corridors back I will contact you on the holotable. We can talk more” Said Nex.
Jezz looks up to Nex and winks. She gives Nex a quick kiss and heads to her room.
Nex watches Jezz head to her room and Wilk yells “Nex get to your room or you will be punished.”
“Wilk if I’m wrong you are also out of your bed and on the wrong side and floor for your room. I feel like your jealous of what I have, and you don’t.” Said Nex.
Nex opens the door and sees that he already has a message.
“Hey Nex, did Wilk try and get you into trouble? Also, I love you can’t wait to start this tomorrow. Goodnight.” Said Jezz.
The next morning Nex walks with Jezz. “Hey Jezz, me, you and Bez need to talk only on the holotable because Wilk is finding out.”
“Okay let me speak to her and see what she thinks.” Said Jezz.

Nex and Jezz enter the door to the mess hall for the morning briefing.
“Nex, Jezz you have ten minutes to eat the training is about to happen. Once those ten minutes are up and you are not done eating then I will have to report you.” Said Wilk.
Jezz whispers under her breath “I hate him, snob lord.”
Wilk stops but doesn’t turn around.
“Jezz we need to eat we can talk about this later, he knows that he is the most hated in our squad, soon we can activate our plan.” Said Nex.
Wilk turns around and stares with rage in his eyes. “Nex I have a feeling that you are the most hated in our squad. Jezz thinks it is also correct.” Said Wilk.
“I don’t care if I’m the most hated in our squad, if Jezz feels that way then that is fine.” Said Nex.
“Nex let it go, we need to get going, we can finish this conversation later when it is just me and you.” Said Jezz.
Nex looks at Jezz and he calms down and they both quickly finish their breakfast. After they finish their breakfast they quickly run to the first training of the day.
“Welcome commandos to your first training. Today we will be testing your ability to work on a weapon, you will have a box that needs to be assembled and test fired. Nex, you will have an autocannon that you will need to assemble, you will have longer time to assemble the weapon compared to the rest. Wilk you have two weapons to assemble since you are supposed to be team leader. Jezz we have a grenade launcher for you to reassemble, you will have the same time frame as Nex. Bez you will be assembling two blaster pistols. Anybody that is wanting the squad leader position must excel in all training areas.” Said Tutan.
Jezz and Nex looks at each other at the same time. Nex nodes and steps forward. “Sir, I would like to go first since I have a bigger assignment.” Said Nex.
Jezz also steps forward. “Sir, I would also like to go first since we both have a hard assignment.” Said Jezz.
Tutan looks at them both, “Okay Nex, Jezz you are both to go first you have ten minutes to get your guns up to running condition and then we want you to destroy certain targets in under five minutes.”
Jezz and Nex run up to the boxes and they pull out their parts.
“Jezz I want to wish you luck, no hard feelings if I win?” Said Nex
“I want you to win that squad leader position, you are my only real competition.” Said Jezz.
Nex gets all of his parts all laid out on the table, he looks over to Jezz slightly and sees that she is already getting started. After five minutes he already has the gun 90 percent complete. After two more minutes the gun is already to fire. He looks over to Jezz and sees that she almost done with hers as well.
“Commandos, you have one minute until your test your weapons. Nex is your weapon ready to test?” Asked Tutan.
“Yes sir.” Said Nex.
Nex grabs his autocannon, steps forward to the shooting range. He hits the button and several targets line up. He starts to warm up the weapon and begins to fire. Round after round he fires and each of the targets go down. The last group of targets he fires a blast shot and takes them all out with a single shot.
“Cadet Nex did you modify that gun to do that?” Asked Tutan.
“Yes, sir, you had all the parts to do that modification. All my weapons that I make have that shot to it. Most heavy weapons can be able to do that shot.” Said Nex.
“I like your thinking Cadet Nex, I’m going to give you squad leader for your ingenuity, I need you to pick who your second in command will be.” Said Tutan.
“Sir my parents told me that I will be in the squad leader for this group.” Said Wilk.
“Cadet Wilk we don’t take demands from people that don’t earn it. This is Mandalor traditions and this is a Mandalor based school. This is the last time you talk to me about what lies you where told. Cadet Nex have you made your choice?” Said Tutan.
“Sir, I pick Jezz as my second in command, she has the mind and talents of a leader.” Said Nex.
The expression on Jezz’s face was surprised, she turned to Nex and smiled. When Nex and Jezz returned to the watching area. Nex sees that Wilk is staring at him intensely.
“Hey Nex, does that mean that you and Jezz are a thing?” Said Wilk.
“I don’t know what you mean.” Said Nex.
“Wilk, as your second in command I have to order you to keep your mind focused at the main task at hand, we are no longer just kids, we have a bigger picture at hand.” Said Jezz.
Wilk and Bez get ready for their part in the test.
Jezz whispers to Nex “I don’t think Wilk can make it past this test, on Coruscant he could not own a blaster.”
“I think your correct, we will see once they get done, I’m certain the Bez will make it.” Said Nex.
The timer has begun, and Wilk is just standing and waiting for someone to deliver his parts to him. “Cadet Wilk you need to get your parts, or you will fail and be held back.” Said Tutan.
“No, somebody will deliver me the parts, or my parents will be on the academy like Jawas on lost droids. Nex come and deliver my parts or I will report you.” Said Wilk.
“Wilk you are no longer squad leader, so you need to get your own parts, or you will fail and then we will have someone replace you as a team member. I don’t want that, but we will have to see it is all up to you.” Said Nex.
“Nex I order you to bring me my parts! NOW.” Demanded Wilk.
Nex gets up and walks over to Bez. “Bez when you are ready you can start, I can work closely with you if you fail on this.” Said Nex.
“Thanks, Nex, I’m certain I can pass this. I’m glad you’re are squad leader.” Said Bez.
Nex walks past Wilk without a word. “Hey Sir, can me and Jezz talk to you about the next step and what is all going to happen with our squad.” Said Nex.
Tutan Nex and Jezz both walk out the door to discuss the rest of the training process.
Tutan walks back and Tells Wilk, “Wilk if you don’t take this serious then I will have to send a message to your parents saying that you failed them and you failed the Empire.”
Wilk looks up and sees the face of a Mandalorian that means what he says. Wilk starts to think of how what he said was true. “Sir, I will not fail.” He gets back to work with only two minutes left. Nex and Jezz walk back in to see Bez beginning to fire at her targets, she has amped the power on the weapons to make it where the blaster pistols.
“Bez are those pistols Amped?” Asked Jezz.
“Yes, they are, I saw that Nex had modified his weapons I had the knowledge of doing that for the pistols.” Said Bez.
Wilk is just about to finish but the timer ends, and he puts the blaster down. Nex, Jezz, and Bez walk over to Wilk. “Wilk don’t give up you can do this, you just have to listen to yourself and believe in yourself.” Said Nex.
Tutan who was overhearing the encouragement, “Attention Cadets we have the scores. The highest scores were Nex, Jezz, and Bez. Wilk you did not complete your task, you must do better next time.” Said Tutan.
“Sir I will I promise.” Said Wilk.
Nex, Jezz, Bez, and Wilk both walk back to the mess hall then afterwards go to their rooms.
“Hey Squad leader, walk me to my room.” Said Jezz.
“Sure, my lady.” Nex replies.
“So, I saw that you did not charge him after he said that I did not care for you, I do, today you showed true leadership and love, do you think my dad knows of us?” Asked Jezz.
“I think he does but he sees how much I really care for you.” Said Nex.
Jezz stops and thinks. ‘Nex does really care for me, my dad is the same way. I just hope my dad feels the same way about him.’
“Jezz come on we are getting close to your room, and if your wondering I love you too, even more.” Said Nex.
After a long day of training the squad lay in bed, Nex and Jezz sit for another hour talking about today and what will happen tomorrow.
