Hello there, as the description has said, this is based on one part of my other fic, 'Talk of The Past'. If you haven't read it, I suggest that you read it first (but it should be okay if you would like to proceed with this first). :D

Beep.

' Rex here,' Rex said into his wrist comlink, putting down his fork. The others did the same and looked at him.

There was a certain tone of urgency in the General's words, ' Rex, get to the Military Base immediately. I don't care if you are having dinner or what. We have a major issue over here.'

' What about the others? What is going on?' Rex said, confused at whatever that was waiting for him.

' No, Rex. Keep them here. I only need you over here. Hurry up! I'll brief you on what is going on when you arrive. Please,' General Skywalker was half-screaming at him frantically.

' Alright, alright, sir. Right away,' Rex promised and got up from his seat at the dining table.

' Woah, Rex, what is going on?' Appo pressed on. ' Another mission?'

' No, stay here,' Rex ordered the 501st, and dashed out of the mess hall.

' I wonder what is happening,' Coric muttered, looking at the retreating back of his Captain.

At midnight back in the dorms, the 501st were getting ready for bed in their respective assigned rooms. ' Rex isn't back yet,' Echo noted, pulling back the covers.

' Probably some secret mission that no one knows,' Hawk said nonchalantly. ' Nothing to worry about. Relax, Echo.'

' It can't be a mission. They never let us go on solo missions, because it can be too dangerous and risky,' Fives remarked. ' We always go as a bunch, or as a Company.'

Kix frowned, ' Indeed. This is strange. Something huge must have happened.'

Before the others could agree, their room door slid open to reveal Fox, who announced angrily, ' Oh yes, Kix. Something huge has happened. We have a problem out here. Your Commander Tano has just escaped and broken out of the heavily guarded Military Base area, then killed a bunch of my men. Oh, and she even murdered Letta Turmond, the original suspect of the bombings.'

There was stunned silence. After a while, Fives choked, ' Fox... Are you kidding or something?'

' Kidding? Do I look like kidding?' Fox exclaimed incredulously. ' Do I actually seem like kidding when some of my brothers were sliced down brutally by the Commander? She must be the one behind the Temple bombings. I knew it!'

Jesse gaped at him like a fish, ' Commander Tano, bomb the Jedi Temple? Haha, very funny, Fox. And I am the Grand General of the Republic. As if that is true. She isn't like that. The Jedi are her family. Do you even have proof?'

' I witnessed a holovid of her Force-choking the lady,' Fox crossed his arms menacingly. ' And the next moment she has broken out of the detention block, with a heap of my dead brothers lying after her trail. You want more proof, huh? Your captain Rex, General Skywalker and I witnessed her jump from the tunnels off into the lower Corsucant levels. If she is innocent, then she wouldn't escape! She has to be guilty!'

' What? General Skywalker is in all this madness too?' Hawk bellowed. ' What did he say? What is his side? Is he with us?'

Fox snorted, ' Of course he says that she is innocent. But I'm sure it will not be the same when he sees the holovid. The proof is convincing.'

' If General Skywalker says Commander is innocent, then she must be innocent,' Echo insisted. ' I trust General's judgements.'

' Did you even give her time to explain?' Coric piped in, aghast. ' You people start to chase her before she can defend herself! I would be running away too if someone is pointing blasters at me for something I didn't do! I know Commander Tano would never betray the Jedi like this.'

' We have worked with her ever since the Battle of Christophsis. We watched her grow. There is no way she can fall to the dark side so easily,' Kix argued.

' Say whatever you want,' Fox glared, his face turning a blotchy shade of purple and red. ' I don't care. She killed my brothers and I'll make her pay for betraying the Republic.'

' She is not a traitor!'

' She is innocent!'

' You don't even give her time to explain!'

' This is not even fair!'

The 501st men crowded around Fox furiously, and the said man backed outside to the corridors. They began shouting at each other, and made as much noise as possible, until all the lights turned on. The racket woke up the entire barracks and all the men from other Legions. Soon enough, doors slid open, and groggy clones began to look out to the corridor, figuring out where the noise came from.

' What in the world is going on out here?' Cody said blearily, his men peering over his shoulder, trying to get a good look at the source of the noise.

' Good to see you, Cody. What's with all the noise?' Bly looked outside, totally confused.

' Is that Fox? Wait, what is the entire 501st doing out there? Late night party?' Wolffe demanded, looking out at Cody and Bly. ' I thought we have run out of food.'

Another door across the corridor swung open and Gree poked his head out warily, ' Am I missing out something? I think I heard a blaster fire. Are those Rex's men cornering Fox over there?'

' I think we had better intercede, in case they start to have a blaster fight in the corridor, then the barracks will be ruined,' Cody rumbled, scratching the back of his head. ' 212, stay in here, we'll take care of them.' The others were too curious, and instead of getting back in as instructed, they jostled to get a good view.

Cody, Bly, Gree and Wolffe stalked down the hallway, where Fox and Fives were yelling themselves hoarse at each other.

' Stop that, seriously,' Wolffe pulled the two men apart and Cody stood between them, shouting, ' Ceasefire! Ceasefire! What has gone into you people! Late night party?'

' It is not a party!' Appo bellowed over the noise, face red. ' We are, uh, correcting Fox's stupid accusation!'

' Accusation?' Bly repeated.

' That is not an accusation!' Fox said furiously.

' There is not even enough proof to support your accusation!'

They were ready to punch each other, and Gree forcefully secured Fox back into the crowds.

' Oi oi! Stop fighting!' Cody gestured wildly. ' What is going on exactly? What accusation? What proof? Care to explain?'

It didn't take long for Fox to angrily report on what had happened to the rest of the men, and within minutes, everyone was well-informed on the escape, faces downcast.

' Fox, that really is a serious accusation,' Gree proclaimed. ' You know, anyone could have murdered Letta Turmond. Commander Tano is not the only Jedi who knows how to Force-choke. I mean, anyone could do that. Have you investigated clearly before arresting her? Is there someone else in the room that you can't see?'

Fox seemed to have calmed down enough to say grumpily, ' I don't know! I seriously don't know! We can't even investigate, now that she has escaped somewhere. Who knows how long it will take to haul her back? Who knows if she has taken an aircraft off Coruscant and to, who knows, what planet in the Outer Rim?'

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Everyone looked at their wrists to check for a comlink call. No, it came from Wolffe's comlink.

' Wolffe here,' He said into his comlink.

' Wolffe, rally up the entire Wolfpack,' Plo Koon's voice came through the device. ' You are needed immediately at the Jedi Temple hangar. Commander Tano has escaped from the Detention block and we think that she may be the one behind the Temple bombings. We'll be going down to the lower levels of Coruscant to look for her along with General Skywalker.'

' Yes, General. Immediately,' Wolffe sighed and cut off the communication. ' Look, guys, I have just been summoned to hunt her down. Don't come down to judgements so immediately. We don't know what is going on.'

' How can they hunt for Commander like that? It isn't like she is a wanted criminal!' Tup gasped.

' Calm down, Tup,' Cody said. ' We don't know for sure what is going on yet. I think if Commander Tano is really accused, the Council will definitely give the best judgement. The first step is to bring her back to us, so we can question her. Wolffe, hurry up.'

' What about the death of my men? How am I supposed to deal with that?' Fox glared.

' Don't worry, Fox,' Bly waved off. ' Everything will come out crystal clear. And you'll get replacement if you want some. Oh yes, Wolffe, do hurry up.'

Wolffe grimly walked up back to his doorway, and nearly jumped out of his skin, to find the entirety of his men were awake, huddled in one great bunch and looking up at him intently for any further orders.

' Wear your armour, take your blasters, we are needed immediately.'

Within minutes, the Wolfpack came filing out, clad in the clone armour and heavily armed with blasters. Wolffe nodded at the rest of the crowd huddled outside, ' We'll be back in a jiffy. And 501st, don't fight with Fox. He is just upset about his brothers.'

And before Fox could say anything, they marched out to embrace the unknown mission.
