This story starts with a girl, my OC Onika , a skillful girl who the Republic chooses to lead the 501st Battalion (as Major).
Chapter 1 – Prologue
Waking up, Onika jumped from her bed and woke her twin sister Shany (the only features that differ from one another that Onika has black hair and brown eyes and Shany has red hair and blue eyes) and her younger sister Dhemetria (nicknamed "Dhena").
"Wake up, sleeping beauties" Onika said.
"I was the best part of sleep till you wake me up" Shany said, throwing her pillow in Onika's face.
"Ouch" Onika said "it was the best part of the dream, which was so good?"
"I do not know, but I think she was dreaming of one of the troopers" Dhemetria said. "specially with the Commander-"
"Don't finish the sentence" Shany screamed in anger.
"Alright, alright" Dhemetria said, trying to contain the anger of her sister.
"Shany, don't yell, not to wake the troopers. Do you forgot that we are aboard the Resolute?" Onika asked
"Yes" Shany said.
"Ok, so get up and take a quick shower" Onika continued.
The girls rose from their beds and went straight to the shower. To turn on the shower, Shany began to sing a soft and romantic music, while washing her red hair.
Dhemetria looked to Onika, smirking. "She is so because of the Commander Gree" Dhemetria whispered to Onika.
"I heard that" Shany said.
It was obvious that her sisters, including Dhemetria, think Shany fall in love for him. Despite never having shown signs. Of course they knew it, because the sisters know what happens with each other.
After they ended, the three set out and went to dress the room. When dressing, Shany noticed Onika had a tattoo on her right arm.
"Onika, what's that on your arm?" Shany asked, amazed.
"A Tattoo" Onika answered.
"Onika. Do you remember when tattoos was a serious discussion?"
"Yes, but we re almost adults, so-"
"This is the problem. If uncle Ani discover that you have a tattoo on your arm, he will low your military rank."
"Don't worry, Shany" Onika said, calmly ",I know what to do."
"How long you had this tattoo?", Shany asked.
"1 and a half year.", Onika said.
"The question is: how could you hide your tattoo for a long time?", Dhemetria asked.
"Long sleeve shirt and makeup, my dears!", Onika answered. "And one other thing: I won't hide my tattoo anymore. And if the soldiers can have tattoos, I can too."
After finished to dress up, Onika went to cafeteria, pick up a coffee cup and sitted with some troopers.
"Morning, troopers" Onika said, kindly.
"Morning, Major Onika" the troopers said, one of them smiling for her. Onika smiled back to him, them drank a little of her caf.
Everyone of the Battalion respects Onika. Onika always dedicated herself for this troopers, and she respects them too. She doesn't like when somebody treats them with disdain. They treat Onika and her sisters like their sisters.
One of the troopers noticed her tattoo.
"Major"
Onika looked to him. "Yes", Onika said, smiling.
"This tattoo on your arm-" the trooper was interrupted by Onika.
"Oh, yeah. It's amazing, doesn't it?"
"Yes... but... If General Skywalker ask you who made this tattoo in your arm-"
"Well, I'll say 'I made myself'. Then, I'm 19 years now, so he will not care" Onika said, finishing her caf. "I'm going out. Then I come back to see you" Onika said, lifting off the table.
Onika goes out the cafeteria.
"Major Onika is a good girl" one trooper said.
"You're right" other trooper said ",she is too many nice with us. I like this on her".
Onika went to weapon's room and got her sword, sniper and thermals detonators. Onika felt a discomfort, in her abdomen, but she ignores the pain. Then, Tup and Jesse entered in the room. Tup saw Onika, with her hand on her abdomen. Worried, Tup put his hands in her shoulders.
"Major, are you alright?" Tup asked.
"Yes" Onika answered, looking down, feeling pain.
"Major, I know, you're not alright. What happened?"
"It hurts" Onika said, looking in his eyes, painful.
"What? Where?"
Them, the rest of Battalion entered in the room and picked up their equipments. Noticing Kix in the room, Onika came closer to him.
"Kix, did you have some painkiller?" Onika asked.
Kix looked to Onika. "Yes. Is in my bag".
"Thank you, Kix".
Onika picked up the painkiller in Kix' bag. After using, Onika gave the bag to Kix.
"Here. Your bag" Onika said, holding the bag.
"Oh, thank you, Major" Kix said.
Onika goes out. Tup after her.
"Major" Tup said.
Onika looked for him. "What?" she asked.
"Where is your pain?"
"On abdomen, but it's nothing serious"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Okay" he said ",let´s go, General Skywalker is waiting for us" he continued, distrusting of Onika's pain.
The Battalion is ready to mission.
"There you are!" Anakin said.
"We're waiting for the new mission!" Onika said.
"Good to hear it. We are trying to stop a weapons smuggling. This time I'll leave you in the command."
"Really?" Onika asked, suprised. "I mean, rarely I stay in command"
"Now you are. Prepare your troops. We'll lay down on Florrum".
Florrum. Onika felt chills when Anakin said the planet's name. She really hated that planet and felt insecure land there. Onika gulped and looked to Anakin with amazement.
"Florrum, you say?" Onika asked, afflicted.
"Onika, what's wrong?" Anakin asked.
"Nothing. It's the first time I go to a mission without you"
"Ok. Good luck"
"Thank you"
The transport ship left the hangar and left for Florrum. Onika had memories of when she was captured and taken there. She had a sudden attack of panic to remember that was kept as a slave. Onika closed her eyes for a moment. Remembering what happened to her, Onika put her hands on her head and screamed.
"NOOOOO!"
Onika went into a state of paranoia, shiverring and sweating, breathing breathlessly. One of the troopers approached her and grabbed her by the arms.
"Major, what is happening?" the trooper asked.
"Let me go" Onika screamed, pushing the trooper, then began to cry.
The troopers did not understand why she was that way. The trooper took off his helmet and looked into Onika's eyes.
"It's all right" he said.
Onika hugged him and continued crying.
"Why? Why me?" Onika said.
Rex knew how much she had suffered since that day. He knew that coming here would cause a very big psychic disorder in Onika.
Onika did not want to land there, knowing that the nightmare she went through, could repeat. Onika wiped her face and tried to calm down the most, and focus on her mission.
Rex approached Onika, put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you."
Onika hugged Rex and whispered in his ear: "You sure?"
"Absolute." he answered.
Hawk contacted Onika by your ComLink: "Major, we are being bombarded"
"Open the doors" Onika said.
"Why?"
"Trust me, I know what to do," Onika answered, ending the transmission.
Onika slid her sniper off her shoulders and sat on the floor of the vehicle. Hawk opened the doors of the ship. Onika took her sniper and shoot the enemies that were on the surface of Florrum. Onika hit 7 of them.
"Nice shot, Major." Hardcase said, praising.
"Thanks" Onika said, smiling.
"Let's land" Hawk said.
Onika rose from the ground and prepared to face the enemy. Upon rising, Onika ran out of the vehicle and fired at the enemies. Onika kept her sniper on her back and grabbed her sword. The Onika's sword is quite sharp, so Onika handles it very carefully, and only use it to attack organic enemies, and not the droids. Onika threw a thermal detonator at enemies.
Realizing that her enemies are retreating, Onika stops attack them and put back her sword. Her battalion goes after the enemies.
"Come back" Onika ordered.
"Will we follow them, Major?" Fives asked.
"No. We need to find a safe place to stay overnight."
Onika found a cave and walked to the entrance. She sat down and turned on the flashlight, and began to examine it.
"The cave is big enough for all of us" said Onika.
Tup entered the cave: "And then?" he asked.
"Prepare your sleeping bags. We'll stay camped here until tomorrow"
"Yes, Major" he said, coming out of the cave.
The troopers were inside the cave getting ready for bed. However, Onika stood in the doorway, watching the night, and of course, alert for any danger.
Tup went and leaned his hands on her shoulders.
"We're going to sleep. will you go too?" Tup said.
"I'm going. I was just watching the moon. Beautiful, isn't it?" Onika said.
"Yes, it is very beautiful. Now... let's go back inside"
"Ok"
Onika and Tup came back into the cave. Tup lay in his sleeping bag, however, Onika just sat in her sleeping bag, feeling abdominal pain.
"Argh" Onika groaned in pain.
Tup left his sleeping bag and sat on the side of Onika, worried about her pain.
"Something wrong, Major?" he asked, worried.
"It's my abdominal pain. Seems that back" Onika said "argh."
"You told me it was nothing serious" Tup argued.
"Do not worry. This pain will pass. I'll be fine"
"Are you sure? You do not want me to call Kix?"
"No, it's okay. Just go to sleep" Onika said gently, Tup obeyed and went to sleep.
Onika lay down, trying not to pay attention to her pain. Onika felt tired and went to sleep.
