Battle Droid Fan fic
I was unit JOO-677
I was one in millions
I was programmed
Controlled
Manipulated
No free will
Or individualism
I was merely a droid walking to battle
My first battle
An arena
Filled with Jedi
I did not want to go.
My semi-sentience screamed.
DON'T GO! DON'T GO!
My legs kept on walking.
Walking
Walking
Walking
The doors opened.
The light blazed through
And then I saw them
The Jedi
Waving their lightsabers around.
I fired once.
I did not want to.
I fired anyway.
I missed.
My one fateful shot.
And I missed
My only shot
That I missed.
A Jedi approached.
And sliced me in two.
My upper body lay there.
On the ground.
More droids passed.
I could sense their sorrow.
They felt sorry for me.
However they could do nothing.
As my sensory mechanisms died down
I felt euphoria
For the first time.
For the last time.
I was happy.
That I was going to be free.
My death mattered to no one.
I was one in millions.
