A/N. Here you go, a new chapter sooner then promised. And so you know, there is some heavy swearing in this chap, mainly from a sargeant, along with some starwars cannon. hope you like it.
Anakin looked over to Ahsoka, who smiled and winked. They were in a LAAT gunship, being dropped to the forward line of the mon calamari defense, which was based around the water based ship yards. They and about 500 of Anakin and Ahsoka`s owns soldiers, the 501st, were being sent to bolster their forward line until they could muster a larger reinforcement count.
But they wouldn`t have to worry, the 501st was the most battle hardened, most efficient group of clones in the entire clone army. If that wasn`t enough, most of them were arc troopers, meaning they had better armor, better weapons, and better training then normal clones anyway.
That and the new experimental MRK 758 AT- HTE and the New HAAP-HCV Jumpsuit's the 501st airborne Division just got issued. The only reason they got the new AT-HTE was that it was being designed on mon calamari and they had a fully functional prototype ready for "Field testing"
Anakin smiled back at Ahsoka, and winked back. He nodded and then pulled his hood back up, and Ahsoka did the same, then they put up the com link mouth covering, Which was basically a small strip of what looked like cloth with a built in micro transmitter and sound dampener, covering their faces not only giving them a dark mysterious look, but enabling them to talk to each other when they without making a sound outside of the suit, enabling them to communicate clearly even when they were sneaking around.
Most Jedi wore lighter brown cloaks, but Anakin had ordered their cloaks special. They were jet black, and had mini light and sound dampening systems built in for extra stealth in dark environments, which was the main reason he got them in that color. They also had heat and radiation absorbers, making them completely invisible to any type of radar, heat sensors, even x-ray.
The only problem in the Jedi's eyes was that the cloaks had to be very form fitting to let the special light absorbing system work, which… kinda distracted clones when Ahsoka wore hers without something over it. And Anakin hated two things about that.
First, Ahsoka was his and he wasn`t about to share. Second, He hated when clones died, which Sometimes happened when they got distracted, and there was enough distractions on the battlefield already. They didn`t need another.
Luckily, He didn`t have to worry about the 501st as much on the battlefield, they were trained well enough to not become distracted from watching his Padawan while on duty, but most normal clones, eh, not so much.
But the trade off was worth it. The suits made you completely transparent in the light, only noticeable because of a slight shimmery outline, but in the dark, along with the built in sound dampener, and they became completely invisible. It also Had a mini shield generator, strong enough to survive a few shots. And if it kept Ahsoka alive, it was worth the two years of saved pay for her suit alone. He nodded, and looked at Ahsoka. " Suit check." he told her over the com.
She nodded, and tapped a button on her wrist. She became transparent for a second, and then completely invisible other then a slight shimmer, much like when you see heat rising, only in the outline of a humanoid. He nodded, and she pressed the button again, turning visible. Anakin nodded, and did the same with the same results.
A clone leaned over to his friend. " The general always has the nicest toys…" His friend nodded, and Anakin looked at them. " You could to if you didn`t spend all your pay on drinks when your on shore leave." He told him.
The clone shrugged and then nodded, and went back to talking with the other clone. Anakin was now looking at Ahsoka, who was staring back. They continued this for a few seconds, and there was a shake of mysterious turbulence and the lights went out in the passenger bay of the gunship.
At the same time, they turned on their suits, and they both shared a quick kiss though their face masks. They hopped back into place and turned their suits off, and the instant they did this, the lights turned back on. "Damn lights Again… that is the fourth time this week." Anakin heard the pilot moan up front.
Anakin and Ahsoka smiled back at each other and nodded.
" We`re landing In 2 minutes. The landing zone is clear, and there is a welcoming party waiting for you men. Now remember, Do not get to friendly with the welcoming parties women. We do not want a repeat of Rico`s fuck up on Alderann." The sergeant barked at the men.
Rico stepped forward and spoke up. "Sir, How Was I supposed to know that girl was the senator's younger sister?" All the clones laughed at this, and the drill sergeant shook his head. " You should have thought with your head, not your dick! Your just lucky general skywalker was there, or you would have had the shit beat out of you by a pacifist!"
Ahsoka leaned back and smiled. That mission on alderann was when Anakin and Her first kissed. They Had played a strange game of cat and mouse before that, neither wanting to go in for the kiss. Also, that was the first time She heard Anakin give The clones "The talk." about STDs. She grinned and sat back, going into her memories.
A/N. Here`s some abbriviations for you. AT-HTE: All terrain Heavy tactical enforcer. HAAP-HCV: High alititude Anti-personel- Heavy combat variation drop suit.
