I had been under cover in a very desecrate mission to infiltrate the Republic data base for 30 days now. Unfortunately in a bad turn of events we intercepted Viceroy Nute Gunray. Little slime bag has been getting on my last nerves for the last two years now. I'm very much enjoying to be helping to escort him to his cell where he will be interrogated by the Jedi. The easiest way for me to be this close was to be hidden as a soldier. Which isn't as easy as one might think, as they are all male, and me? A small female, which has to keep her mouth shut, helmet on, and armor rather tightly clasped together. It was hard for me to get used to breathing in the helmets and go walking around in the armor that was made for specifically one person, literally. Part of what makes this mission so difficult is the fact that it's a clone army! However I seem to fit in okay. Word's gone around that I can't talk, so they started to call me Mute. It isn't bad, though. I never had anything important to say, nor did they think I would.

We reached the cells after many unbearable taunts to the clones by the Viceroy. I wanted to knock him out before the Jedi had a shot of interrogation. I managed to restrain myself though. Then as if it wasn't hard enough there were lots of Senate Commandos on the ship now. I silently cursed at the thought of them discovering me. Senate commando leader Captain Argyus was in charge of them. I didn't trust him at all. I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that said to just strangle him at all costs, but I didn't, my hand was just a very tight fist.

One of the clone troopers turned to me and whispered this message to me that I never forgotten. "Either they feel we can't handle this because we're just clones or something isn't right." I wish I had gotten his name, but I was filed to be standing guard with Gree, Captain Argyus, and three of his men.

Jedi master Luminara Unduli and Padawan Ahsoka Tano walked into the cell for the interrogation of Viceroy Gunray. Luminara's tactics of getting information was sickening me, with the soft voice, and slowly talking in a repetitive tone. That would've defiantly gotten me talking! I breathed a sigh of relief followed by a smirk at what the Padawan's threat to the Viceroy was. I heard a 'thunk' and assumed that it was the Viceroy falling over to the threat.

The Padawan got a small scolding after that, but the Viceroy had already agreed to talk. 'Finally!' was all that was going through my mind. The presence of Captain Argyus was really beginning to irritate me though and the pleasures of listening to the Viceroy practically beg for mercy was gone. I slightly bowed my head as I glared at the floor. Oh how lucky the floor was right now, I envy it for its patience and being so still. I wasn't angry at the floor though, just that captain.

The Jedi Master Luminara was talking with Captain Argyus about their slippery prisoner with the Padawan following closely behind. My job was to be a good little clone and stand guard here with Gree. Honestly, no wonder that one clone felt the way he did. I was beginning to become increasingly fed up with Captain Argyus. Gree noticed how my fists where getting tighter and tighter. He knew that I wouldn't be able to tell him why so he just placed a hand on my shoulder. That was the first time my gaze wavered, and I looked at him and gave a nod. He took it as an "I'll be fine" type of deal and went back to his post, as I did mine.

We waited there for a while until they were running back telling us that we were now under attack by the separatists. The Jedi Master left her Padawan here with Captain Argyus and his three men. Master Luminara explained that we were to protect the prisoner at all costs and left to dispatch the droids.

Great! This mission just gets better and better by each passing minute doesn't it? That was as sarcastic as I was going to get, as I was getting increasingly impatient with the Captain. But my anger was going to have to wait. I knew we were sitting ducks here, so why didn't anyone else? I went back to glaring at the floor, just waiting, and waiting. The world fell silent as I heard the cries of the clones over the comm. trying to explain what was going on, but they were killed off one by one. Five minutes later I felt her here. As she fell from the ceiling I already had my blaster ready and was about to fire, when the Padawan got in the way. I pointed my blaster up to hold my fire. I saw that the Padawan had a small score to settle with the person she was fighting; Asajj Ventress.

I pushed myself against a wall and took careful aim. I anticipated were Ventress might be headed and fired. I missed by a hair, but I got her attention. She charged at me with her sabers and I ducked out of the way. The Padawan Ahsoka Tano recaptured the attention of Ventress and I took aim again. I was about to fire again but then the Captain rammed right into me and when I shot it almost hit the Padawan.

She yelped and jumped out the way. "Whose side are you on anyway?" With a glare, she resumed her chase for Ventress.

I looked over and saw captain Argyus, and I swear he wore a smirk. But with no time to dwell on such thoughts I made self-defense my top priority. Having disorientated the padawan, the assassin charged at us standing by the Viceroy. She threw the captain across the room using force and I knew we were no match against her sabers with our blasters. Thinking fast, I threw mine at her feet, tripping her. The opening was only slight but I charged at her legs, smashing her against the wall. Just as I moved to punch her in the face, she kicked me out of her way and jumped at the cell. The padawan was finally back into play. Swinging her saber about, returning every offence that Ventress would throw at her.

Gree was trying to fire at Ventress in an attempt to help the Padawan, but when I saw what was going to happen I was too slow to react. The cell had opened and the Viceroy slipped out and in went Ahsoka, then it closed.

I caught the Viceroy making comment to the Padawan and I shot off my blaster which clipped the Viceroy's shoulder. I smiled in satisfaction then Ventress turned to dispatch me then Gree. I shot the blaster at the ground and clipped her foot throwing her off balance. It was then that Jedi master Luminara ran in and saved the day by freeing the Padawan and fighting Ventress. They got her to a point of surrender.

At first we thought she actually was about to surrender, but before we knew it she had set off detonators. The main engines had blown up and the ship was crippled. Then she ran for it. Master Luminara told the Padawan to stay and guard the prisoner now more than ever. Ahsoka had tried to protest against it saying how it was too dangerous for one Jedi to confront Ventress alone, but it was useless and Luminara left.

The Padawan had been carrying on about how she should be there to help, and then the Captain told her these words. "Sometimes being a good soldier means doing what you think is right."

Right then is when I got that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Ahsoka took these words to heart and asked us if we could handle things here.

Gree had said that we could and she turned and left "And call us if you need anything sir!" He had shouted that to her just before she left.

I heard the Captain's comm. set off a beep and he shut it off. I then heard him raise his blaster and shot it off, killing his three men and just before he got Gree I smashed into him so it clipped my armor. Gree thanked me and went to hand to hand combat with Argyus. He almost won until the Viceroy knocked him out. I was the last line of defense. I took my blaster and aimed it at his throat as he tried to walk towards me.

"Stand down clone. You saw what I did to your superior. Now, I said to stand down." He thought he could just talk me into surrendering? I almost begged him to not make me laugh. I readied my blaster indicating that I wasn't going to stand down.

He charged at me and I just stepped to the side and allowed him to run into the wall. Then I grabbed a handful of his hair and threw his head into the wall again. He bounced off the wall, which was pretty entertaining. He stood up and looked at me; it showed in his eyes that he knew that I fought dirty. He came at me again and turned me around. He brought my left arm up my back and dislocated my shoulder. I managed to take my right arm and flip him over me. The Viceroy was wise to stay out of this fight. I came around and kicked the Captain in the ribs, once for messing my shot up, again for knocking Gree out, again for making fun of the soldiers, again for dislocating my shoulder, and one more just because I really didn't like him. But one thing I wasn't expecting was when he grabbed my foot and brought me down. He went to punch at my face but I pinned him and punched him instead. Then he kicked me off of him. We were both standing now and he jump-kicked at my head causing me to throw my head back and my helmet far from reach. When he saw my face he froze just long enough for me to hit him and knock him out.

The Viceroy was staring at me. I reached down into my blaster satchel and brought out my saber. I aimed it at his neck and he slowly walked back into his cell. I force pushed Argyus into the cell too just as Gree was coming around. He took a good look at me and was as confused as anyone would be.

I tilted my head as I kept my eye on the prisoners. "… Hello Gree…"

"W- Wha?"

"No time Gree!" I pushed him into another cell just as Ventress came back. She stared at me the same way as Argyus had.

"So the traitor decided to show herself to me."

I looked at her. "You are one to gloat Ventress." I relocated my shoulder and was ready for the fight.

She came at me with both sabers and I blocked them and we were face to face. "I'll kill you and then demolish what's left of you, you filthy republic scum. Then Master will be so pleased to hear that I got rid of his greatest threat."

I just smirked and kicked her stomach pushing her away from me. She charged at me again with an X cut. I stopped it by putting my saber in-between them and pushing down. She managed to kick my jaw and pinned me up against the wall with her force then opened up the cell with the Viceroy in it. She walked towards me "Any last words traitor? …No? That's too bad." Ventress was about to kill me by stabbing both sabers into my heart. I used my force to try and block the attack but I failed and felt the burn of the sabers go through my shoulder blades.

I screamed as the burning pain ran throughout my body. She pulled back and ran. I know what she was doing, leaving me for dead. As the metal of the wall was melted to my armor it took a few seconds for me to collapse to my knees, then all the way to the floor. I heard my heart throbbing in my ears as I was hissing in pain. I was stunned really, for a while I laid there trying to move but was unsuccessful.

Finally while I was throbbing with pain I managed to stand up. I freed Gree and I ran after Ventress. I caught up to her and she looked at me with disgust, but she continued to run. I turned the other way though. I saw the world becoming hazy and felt as though I was running on a moving platform. I reached an escape pod, launched away from the ship and set the coordinates. As I sat in the chair, everything was fading and moving, I didn't recall where I was, and then everything went black.
