"So, Luke, what brings you here?" Matt asks rhetorically. "No, don't tell me, you need training in the way of the Jedi."
"Yessir, that's correct," Luke replies.

"Well then, we best get started." says Rani as she walks up.
Meanwhile, aboard the VTR/LX:
"Very good... bring the two Jedi before me." says a male tiger, whom is a Dark Side Adept. "I... wish to be entertained. Give them training sabers. I will duel both of them personally."

Luke's training goes extremely well, until he gets a vision of his friends in danger on Cloud City.
"Cloud City on Bespin?" Matt asks his student. "Not much there to attract the Empire's attention... which means it's likely to be a trap laid by Vader, using your friends as bait."
"Are you telling me not to go?" Luke asks in turn.
"Not alone, you're not," Matt says, motioning for Flashback to step up. "Flashback, alert the troops, we're going to run Vader out of Cloud City with his tail between his legs, like we've done before here on Mandalore!"

Meanwhile Marcus and his wife are forced to duel against Garsk, a male Trandoshan Dark Side adept. The Starkiller's only have training sabers, while Garsk is armed with his standard red-bladed saber.
"Jedi weakings... defeat me if you can." taunts Garsk as he leaps at Ivanova. Marcus blocks the attack, the red blade cutting half way into his right arm, but not severing it. Ivanova screams in horror.

On Mandalore:
"Sir, yes sir!" Flashback snaps before leaving to carry out his orders.

Rani decides to help the Alliance save those captured on Hoth. She takes a quarter of the Mandalorians from the Bespin taskforce with her.

OOC: Let me make this clear, except for training units, and the permanent garrison (as ordered by Mandalore), Matt's taking the whole bunch, so he can spare a quarter of his forces (and Jair, if only to keep Carth's head in the game on Bespin) for Rani's wild goose chase (canonically the New Republic was still finding prisoners from as far back as the fall of Yavin IV eight years after the Battle of Endor).
IC: Matt doesn't mind, detailing Raker to act as her troop leader.

OOC: In X-Wing Alliance, the Rebellion learned about the dreadnaught transporting the Hoth prisoners and recovered them.
IC:
Ivanova manages to bash in the adept's face with the hilt of her training saber, but not killing him.

OOC: I'm not denying that this event ever took place, just putting it in perspective.
IC: Meanwhile, the main Ne'tra Kad force arrives at Cloud City.
"Kote!
Kandosii sa kar'ta, Vode an.
Coruscanta a'den mhi, Vode an.
Bal kote, darasuum kote,

Aruetyc talyc runi'la trattok'o.
Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, Vode an!" the troops sing at the tops of their lungs as they hit the landing pads. Suffice it to say, the Imperial troops were not expecting the famous (or infamous, depending on your POV) mercenary command to hit them on Cloud City, of all places.
OOC (again): I couldn't resist! Besides, it was either this, or the Panzerlied...

"Frakkin Mandalorians!" shouts an Imperial Commander. "Get rocket launchers over here, ASAP!"

The Imperial troops don't get a chance to get the heavy launchers into position, but several shoulder-launched weapons are sent in the general direction of the Mandalorian assault force. A sniper puts paid to the Imperial Commander with a headshot.
"I love it when a plan comes together!" Matt chortles to Barquan.
"Not much of a plan, Boss," Barquan replies.

An ex-clonetrooper, under the nickname of 'Berserk' is using an old Mandalorian battleaxe on Stormtroopers. He is counting each kill as he goes.
"7... 8..." counts Berserk under his helmet. "9... 10!"
One Stormtrooper decides to try and run, but receives an axe blow to him back.

Boil has been assigned to keep Berserk on task, no easy task, and to cover his back should he fail at the first task. "Did I piss the Boss off to get this assignment?" he asks himself.

Berserk has finally stopped and a body count of 18. His Mandalorian armor is covered in blood.

When Luke catches a glimpse of Berserk's handiwork, he looks a little green and has to swallow, hard, to avoid throwing up.
Matt looks at Boil, who shrugs helplessly. "How am I supposed to restrain him, sir?" Boil asks on a private frequency.

"The Kaminiis' always said Berserk was more psychotic then the rest of us clones." states Barquan. "They almost did away with him."

Matt notices the shot and smiles thinly, making a note to himself to congratulate Doc for the shot later. "Okay, let's move out, people," he says, motioning his troops into Cloud City.

Vader is prepared for combat THIS time. He has brought 6 members of the Imperial Shadow Guard with him, plus two Dark Side Adepts.
"I have been waiting for our rematch, Master Hunter." states Vader, who is throwing his voice, so as not to give away his location just yet. "You bested me last time... but things will be different now."
