Prologue
Force was it cold, I mean really cold. You would have thought hiding in a ditch should at least shelter you from the wind if not the rest of the storm. But it didn't.
"When we get back to base remind to ask high command why we are on this force-forsaken planet" I turned to look at my men as my padawans comments brought me out of my musings they were all ARC troopers. I smile inwardly, trust the emperor to make the mistake of making independent thinking clones which after so much time would not turn on their generals when told so. Turned to my right to see my captain, Evo, cursing deities I didn't know existed. Suppressing a chuckle, I trudged on towards base. It was about a click away but I couldn't be sure.
Suddenly the most awful mechanical screech fills the air shattering the eerie silence of a minute ago the screech slowed and then stopped in a clearing up ahead. We froze rooted to the spot. Very slowly I gestured for two of the troops to scout ahead to see what had caused that noise.
Silently approaching the clearing, I saw the two men give each other a terrified glance. I touched their minds with the force to see what had them so startled and I heard it. The noise. The noise no rebel ever wants to hear.
A slow booming respirator.
I watched mortified as the two troopers shrieked in horror as their feet were lifted of the ground and they flew towards the clearing. A blood red blade ignited and cut the two troopers down. We gawped silently as our comrades were slaughtered.
My padawan shifted next to me. Consciously grabbing his lightsaber, his mind a turmoil of emotions horror shock and revenge. I put a gentle but firm hand on his shoulder.
"We need to go now"
