A/N this takes place when Ahsoka tries to save Lux from Deathwatch.

He stopped them

I wake up to feel my head throbbing, and see Rex on the control panel passed out. Although I don't see him breathing, I feel he's alive. I sit up and reach fr my sabers but I don't feel them.

"Lux! Artoo search the ship and find out where Lux hid them." I pause and look over to Rex's unconscious body.

"Wait, before you search the ship, what happened to Rex?" I watch as Artoo shows me a video of the events after I was stunned.

"Ahsoka!" Rex runs over to Lux and tackles him as my body slumps down. The two struggle before Lux escapes Rex' grip for a few seconds. Rex grabs him and throws him into the wall and grabs his blaster.

"Is this how you treat someone who just saved you from your death? I swear you will pay for that Bonterri." Rex grabs Lux and throws him onto the floor and grabs his binders.

"No. She wasn't listening, and you won't stop me from doing what I must." Lux stands up and shoots Rex in the chest and throws him onto the control panel.

"Now, time to set my course."

The video ends there and I look outside to see Lux.

"It's time for Mr. Bonterri and I to have a little chat." I walk out of the ship and scream to Lux.

"Lux!" He turns around and then he looks at the ground.

"You shouldn't have come here." I watch as Death watch members come down, surrounding us.

"Death watch." I grumble under my breath as Lux sighs. Out of the corner of my eye I see Rex and Artoo watching us. Knowing the code Rex and I created after one of the missions we were on, I can tell that he's going to follow us.

"Who are you?" The leader of the group, I assume, looks at me and then circles around me.

"She's my..."

"Betrothed." I wince as I can tell Rex heard that somehow and I see him slam his head in his hand. The Death watch members move out and they drag Lux and I with them. 'Hurry R2, find my lightsabers and please Rex come save me from this crap.' They drive us to the camp and I suddenly hate Lux even more now. It's one thing to shoot my 'friend' but to drag me into this and let me make some stupid lie, that's a bit too far.

After an hour of listening to Death watch and a moment between Lux and I that I'm not getting into, I was sent to a tent where the women of the natives were placed. Now I'm serving the men like I'm some slave. 'Wouldn't be the first time I posed as a slave now would it.' I smile inwardly as I remember the recon mission Rex and I went on to shut down some slave ring in the underworld. Rex got so mad at the slaver that touched me, as soon as we busted them, Rex busted the guy's face. Then, I thought Rex was just over protective, but after Umbara, when Rex broke in my arms, I realized that Rex felt something else for me. It's the same thing I felt for him after he protected me on Geonosis. I break away from my thoughts and walk over to Lux.

"Hope you don't choke on that." I whispered that a little too hastily but it got my point across. I glare at the leader, Pre Vizsla and then go back to thinking about Rex. It's the only thing to calm me down.

Back at the tent, Vizsla made it seem like he was a good guy. Now, I know he isn't. He promised to leave the colonists alone, and now they are burning the village. Well I will not allow that to happen. I continue to fight off the Mandalorians but they overwhelm me and tie me up. They drag me back to their camp and place me on the ground in front of Vizsla.

"This is unacceptable. We let you enter our camp in good health and you bring a Jedi here?"

"This has nothing to do with the Jedi. You promised me justice for my mother."

"And you will have it, but you will see that the Jedi are no better than Dooku and must be taken care of." He raises his blade and smirks.

"It's like you said, it's not murder, it's justice!" He prepares to bring the blade down but a noise interrupts him. Snap. I look behind him to see Rex standing over the body of a dead Mandalorian.

"Well, it seems you brought another outsider into our ranks." Rex grabs his guns and aims them at Vizsla.

"Step away from the Jedi or else."

"Or else what?" Artoo hands me my sabers behind my back and I cut the ropes and the Manodalorians holding the ropes.

"Or else you will die." Rex shoots one of the others in the head and aims at the female that we met earlier. The others point their guns at me but Vizsla stops them.

"No! The jedi is mine." I watch Rex go into hand to hand and I clash my sabers against Vizsla's dark saber. I don't see Lux anywhere, and in my moment of confusion, I'm sent out of the tent by a kick to the gut. I look up and see Lux, Rex and Artoo.

"Looks like R2 found some friends." I can feel Rex smile under his helmet as he helps me up.

"You ready to fight, Commander?" I smile at him and ready myself.

"To my last breath."

"Let's not get carried away now. We aren't going that far." I laugh and Rex shoots at the first person to exit the tent. He hits his mark and his victim goes down.

"Hey kid, do you know how to shoot?"

"I shot you didn't I?" Rex glares at him and then hands him a decee.

"Yeah, you're going to pay for that later."

"Less fighting and more shooting." I yell at the boys and engage the enemy in a saber fight.

After twenty minutes of going back and forth with this guy I finally cut his jetpack making him think I missed.

"You missed Jedi." The jetpack starts short circuiting and he takes it off. I use the explosion to disarm him and get away. I see Lux loading an injured Rex into a land speeder and I jump in it and grab Rex.

"Lux drive." I grab Rex and check his wounds.

"How is it that I'm always the one taking care of you?" He looks at me in confusion and smile.

"What do you mean you are always taking care of me?"

"Kiros, after that, also how many times have you been hurt on the battle field."

"Okay only two of those count. Also need I remind you of the countless times I've saved you?" He raises his gun and shoots the person right behind me.

"Including that." I shake my head and ready myself to fend off the enemy. Lux keeps trying to shake our followers off only to have Rex yell at him.

"Stop doing that, I can't get a good shot thanks to you." He turns and fires, taking down two enemies and causing one to stray from his path. The female lands on the speeder and engages me in hand to hand. I try to keep up but she kicks me onto my back and stands over me.

"Bye-bye Jedi." Right before she delivers the final blow, Lux jerks the speeder and Rex tackles her.

"Ahsoka cover the kid. I'm not gonna be able to hold her off for long." I run over to Lux and cover him while I see Rex kick the woman off of the speeder. He lays his head down and looks over the edge. I run over to him as Lux pulls up to the ship. I help him onto the ship and set course for Courscant. I look at Rex and then I see Lux going to an escape pod.

"Lux where are you going?"

"I told you Ahsoka. I'm not going to the Republic." I look at him and then he enters the pod.

"Lux stop. The Republic can help you. You don't have to run away."

"I'm not running. But I'm not going to the Republic." I realize that nothing I say is going to change his mind. I watch as he jettisons himself into space and I go to help Rex. 'At least I still have Rexster.'
