Hey guys so this fic is based on the clone trooper Fives. If you haven't watched the season six episodes centering around him, I highly suggest you look him up on wookiepedia before starting the story, or you might get confused. This is my first clone wars fic, I hope you enjoy!

Fives pulled the cloak tighter around him. He had acquired it in some dingy convenience store to hide his identity. After all, the entire Republic was looking for him.

He mulled over his plan in his head. Originally, Fives had wanted to contact General Skywalker and Rex when he had found out the truth about Order 66 and Palpatine. However, he had quickly remembered all the times Skywalker had spoken with reverence and respect towards the Chancellor. No, Skywalker wouldn't believe him, and the 501st was too loyal to the Republic.

There was only one person that Fives knew that might be able to help him. He ducked into a seedy bar, located in the Coruscant Underground. Scanning the room, Fives immediately spotted the familiar white and blue striped lekku he had been looking for.

"Ahsoka! You came," Fives sighed in relief. He had been afraid that the ex-Jedi would think him as crazy as everyone else. "Fives? What is it? You look sick... and why is there a bounty on your head?" Ahsoka hissed. "You don't look so great either, Commander," Fives joked lightly, but the mood immediately became somber.

Ahsoka certainly looked a little worse for wear, but that wasn't surprising, considering that she was no longer a member of the Order, and not that many people were willing to hire a teenager for work. However, that had nothing to do with the matter at hand.

"Ahsoka, listen to me. There's a plot, and the Chancellor's in on it! It has to do with these chips in our heads... Ahsoka, they're going to make us kill the Jedi! It's a conspiracy!" Fives blurted out, words slipping out of his mouth. He couldn't think clearly, all he knew was that he had to get the information to Ahsoka. The floor spun underneath him, and he vaguely heard Ahsoka let out a small cry before he slips out of his seat, falling to the floor unconscious.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Palpatine scowled at the latest report from the clones. The rogue arc trooper had not yet been found. He had to be terminated immediately... he knew too much. Palpatine couldn't just activate the order now because not enough generals were in the field yet; most of them were back on Coruscant, and their clone forces were being directed to capture Fives.

More importantly, Anakin wasn't even close to the dark side yet. Activating the order now meant losing him as an apprentice, and that was a risk Palpatine was unwilling to take, especially considering how much time Palpatine had spent molding the boy to be the perfect Sith.

No, this clone would be captured and killed, along with any accomplices. He was going to rule this galaxy, and no one was going to stand in his way, especially not some lowly clone.

Elsewhere, a clone captain looked out the window of a shuttle transport. The 501st was now searching the Works district on Coruscant, trying to look for a clue to Fives' whereabouts. Rex frowned at the thought. Fives was a good man, and his brother. What could've possibly compelled him to commit treason? Either way, Rex was willing to give his brother the benefit of the doubt.

He had spent years in the battlefield, and Rex had developed a sixth sense for these kind of situations. Something just wasn't right here.

"Come on, Fives. Where are you?"

Fives groaned, getting up from the bed. He looked around, and found himself in some small room, on a bed crammed in the corner. "Fives! You're alright! Force, you scared me to death back there," Ahsoka murmured, sitting next to the clone.

"This is where you're staying?" Fives asked, slightly angered on her behalf. Ahsoka didn't deserve this; she didn't deserve to be betrayed by her friends and the Order for a crime she hadn't committed. Of course, everyone had realized that, but by that point it was too late.

"How are you feeling?" Ahsoka asked, concerned about her friend. "You were muttering some nonsense about the Chancellor being evil before collapsing. I think someone drugged you, I ran a data scan and found some excessive traces of chlorofom in your blood."

"I'm fine, Commander- I mean Ahsoka. And I bet a thousand credits that minister Su drugged me, to make me look like a crazy man. It's not just nonsense, although it probably sounds that way. Ahsoka, the Chancellor is not a good man."

"I can believe that, Fives. The man was all too happy to deliver my death sentence the day of the trial, and that's not something I'm going to forget easily. But a conspiracy to kill the Jedi? Don't you think that's a little much?"

Ahsoka studied the clone in front of her. He didn't seem like he was lying... but Ahsoka had learned the hard way that people weren't always what they seemed.

"No, Ahsoka. Listen, I have all the information with a droid of mine, AZ-3. If we can get back to him on Kamino, I could show you evidence that there's a plot against the Jedi! Ahsoka, please, you have to believe me. I don't have anyone else I can trust, and you know, maybe more than anyone, that you can't trust anyone in this war."

Ahsoka's heart stung at the reminder of her friend's betrayal. Bariss had seemed like such a nice friend, but she had no qualms about sending Ahsoka to pay for her crimes. "Alright, I'm listening," she said warily.

"Okay, so you remember my friend, Tup? It all started with him. He killed another Jedi, General Tiplar, and no one knew why. He died a few days later, but me and this droid found a chip in his body, and apparently it malfunctioned or something, causing an order, Order 66, to activate. After we did a little research, it turns out the inhibitor chips can make all the clones do anything someone wants. I tried to present my findings to the Chancellor, convinced that Lama Su was behind it... but Ahsoka, this is bigger than I could've possible imagined. When I met the Chancellor, he tried to kill me with a red lightsaber. I know it sounds crazy, but it happened, I swear! I mean, think about it. Who has the most to gain from this war in the first place? The Chancellor! His influence and power increases every day this war goes on."

"Fives, did you say he had a red lightsaber?" Ahsoka questioned, shocked. Red lightsabers... Sith Lords... no. It was just a myth. Fives was mistaken, he had to be. Because if what he said was true, and if Palpatine was the Sith Lord, then they were all doomed.

"Ahsoka, please. I know you don't believe me. Just help me get the information, and then I can show you. Please, just give me a chance."

"Okay, Fives. I wish someone had given me a chance when I went through my trial, so I'll give you one. Let's find this information, and we'll see if you're telling the truth. I have a friend, Lux Bonteri, who could get us a ship to Kamino to get to that droid you were talking about. Let's find out the truth, once and for all."

Hey everybody, this is my first Clone Wars fanfic, and I'm kind of just testing the waters here. If people like it, I'll continue the fic. That being said, reviews are very helpful! I encourage all of you to review so I know if people are interested in seeing this story. Also, if I continue, Rex, Anakin, and Obi-wan will all be playing bigger parts from now on, as will Ahsoka.
