This is my first fanfiction story, so please don't hate it! P.S-This is placed in the time after Order 66 and before the Emperor was defeated.
It's been five years since the Jedi Purge. Any surviving Jedi have gone underground or into hiding, and the very few that remain on Coruscant have given themselves new lives and new identities, trying to forget their pasts, and hiding from the Empire. Few younglings remain, and two of them are well known to the Empire, since they have been such a nuisance to the Emperor; helping the homeless, learning important information about the Emperor's plans, and using it against him. Their names are Melory (ME-LORE-I), a human, and Aritchia (A-REE-CHI-A), a twi'lek. Their masters both died in the war. No one seems to want to help them, so they survive on their own, relying on each other. But not for long...
Chapter 1: The Younglings
Rex P.O.V
"Blast them!" shouted Captain Rex, a veteran of the Clone Wars.
He, Commander Cody, and their squads were in pursuit of two Jedi younglings. Ever since Order 66 and the extermination of Jedi, the clones, now storm troopers, have been serving the Emperor, and hunting down any remaining Jedi. They were following Melory and Aritchia, but the younglings were gaining ground.
Rex looked around, and spotted a large hunk of metal near the road. He may not be a Force user, but he had muscle.
"Cody! Tell some of your men to haul that metal over here! We're gonna block the road!"
Cody nodded once, and ordered three of his men, Breaker, Knuckles, and Chatterbox, to grab it. The rest of Cody's squad and Rex's squad kept on firing and surrounded the younglings. They continued blasting away, while the three troopers hurled the metal from behind them.
Melory turned around in a flash just before it hit her and Aritchia, and used the Force to try to slow the impact of the metal. But she was slightly too late. It hit them head-on and they collapsed to the ground.
"Grab them and let's get out of here. Lord Vader wants them alive," ordered Cody.
Two clones grabbed a girl each and they set out to their ship. Just as they were hurrying to their cruiser, blaster fire erupted around them. Three clones went down in an instant, and the rest ducked for cover.
"Where is that coming from?!" shouted Cody. He was crouching behind a hunk of metal and a cluster of barrels next to an abandoned tool shed.
"Up there, sir!" yelled Knuckles, pointing to a tall building the next block down.
Rex looked to where he was pointing and spotted a small figure squatting on the shingled roof, using a sniper rifle to fire away at the clones.
"Who is that sniper?" Rex thought to himself.
As if in answer, the sniper made an amazing triple summersault off the roof and onto the concrete ground, and right when his feet touched the ground, he continued blasting away at the storm troopers.
Rex, Cody and the other troopers dodged and jumped and over-exerted themselves trying to get away from the shooter. When Rex managed to hide behind a large boulder on the sidelines of the battle field, he finally got a good look at the shooter.
He was clad all in black, and wore a hood low over his face so that no one could see who he was. He wore, for some strange reason, knee-high boots and black gloves covering his nimble hands. Strapped to his hips crosswise were two blaster pistols in quick-draw holsters, and he also had a bow and a quiver full of what seemed to be homemade arrows strapped to his back. He was obviously extremely acrobatic, and sent a chill down Rex's back.
"Keep firing! Don't back down! You're storm troopers! We won't lose against some bounty hunter!" Cody shouted.
"We won't make it." Rex thought. "Cody! Tell your men to fall back! This guy's too strong for us!"
"Are you out of your mind, Rex? We have to get these two Jedi to Lord Vader immediately. We can't admit defeat and come back to him empty handed. He'll have our heads!" Cody argued. Before Rex could reply, a large piece of debris hit him square in the chest, and he went flying backward and hit his head on the wall of an abandoned alley. He watched with pain as Cody went down too, and then Knuckles, Breaker, and Chatterbox. Another clone, Sharp, fell too, and the rest of the clones got shot. The last thing Rex saw was the black figure walking towards him and the younglings. Then everything went dark.
This chapter is shorter than I wanted it to be, but I couldn't think of anything else. Please Rate, Follow, Favourite, and Review!
