The Phantom II exits hyperspace above the world of "Terra" with three Star Destroyer hanging above the planet in orbit. Kanan, and Ezra sit at the Helm while Rex sits in holding his helmet, looking into it's "face".
The Rex hears Ezra whistle, and Rex walk over to see what it is.
Since Kanan is blind he says. "What is it? What's going on?"
Rex looks out, and can't help but whistle as well. "Three Star Destroyers. What did the locals do to deserve this?"
Ezra grabbed a datapad, and looked through it. "Well if Imperial reports say anything they've been attacking Imperial transports, killing Imperial personal, and doing basically what we do, but on a larger scale, and on a planet."
Kanan then said. "Yeah that sound like it would cause quite a problem, and I bet the Empire doesn't want them getting off world, and spreading their revolt else where… Are we sure our transponders have been changed? If thouse Star Destroyer figures us out we'll be dead before we can get out of here."
Rex sighs. "Yes they've been changed I changed them myself."
Ezra chuckles. "You sure? Maybe you forgot to do it in your old age."
Rex gives a half smile. "I may be 'old', but I still have the mind of a soldier."
Then over the com the Imperial's contact them. "In coming Shuttle please identify"
Kanan sighs, and says. "Here we go." He then presses the com. "This is Shuttle 'Reven's Hawk' bringing relief supplies for the affected civilians on the planet. Sending clearance codes now."
A few moments pass then out of the comms come. "Hm, so you're one of those people. First Alderaan, then you… Very well. Stay on course we'll have TIE's escort you in."
Kanan slightly panicked then said. "Negative, negative we do not require an escort we know right where we're going".
"This is not up for debate Reven's Hawk this planet is a war zone, and the Rebels here will shoot anything out of the sky. So I say again stay on current course, and out TIE's will escort you in."
Kanan sighs, and says. "Roger over, and out."
He turns around to face the other two. "What now? We can't head for the LZ with those TIE's with us."
Ezra then says. "We could simply shoot them down when we're through the blockade."
Rex shook his head. "No. That won't work we still need a way of planet… He said the Rebels shoot at anything that's in the sky, maybe we divert course, and give the Rebels something to shoot at."
Kanan sighs. "It could work, but what's stopping them from shooting us first?"
"Well I et they monitor Imperial comms, so they'll think we have supplies, and they can't have them if we're shot down. They'll wait for us to land."
Kanan thought it over, and nodded in agreement. "Yeah I guess it could work. We'll need to find a cave, or something to hid the Phantom in."
Rex gestured through the viewport. "Here comes our 'escort'.
Two TIEs scream past the Phantom II, and take up positions next to them, ad over the comms the pilots say. "Continue on course, we'll escort you."
"Yes sir." Kanan then gestured to Ezra, and he piloted them past the blockade.
Even after fighting the Empire for at least two years now, the Imperial Star Destroyer still is a terrifying sight to behold.
Once past the blockade they stayed on course for a little while, so the TIE's don't get tipped off, but once they come across some mountain they slowly drift leftwards, and shortly after one of the TIE pilots said. "Reven's Hawk you're drifting what's wrong?"
"Not sure. Must be something wrong with the thrusters, we'll have to set her down to get a better look."
"Negative Reven's Hawk the area is to dangerous, stay on course and we-"
Then from up ahead in a large forest blue blaster fire ripped through one of the TIE's, and soon the other TIE followed suit bursting into flames, and plummeting into the ground in a fireball. Then there was a loud *BANG* and the Phantom II rocked violently, as the nose of the craft started pointing downwards, and wouldn't come back up no matter how hard Ezra pulled on the controls.
Kanan, again being blind, did not know what was going on, but felt the ship start to tilt. "What going on now! What hit us!"
Rex, now holding onto the back of Ezra's seat, said. "The Rebels did, I guess they don't want our supplies!'
Ezra then shouted. "I got this! I'm going to land over by that cave about 500 meters!"
Rex then shouted back. "The hurry up before we-" The ship lurched again, but this time not from blaster fire, but from hitting a tree."-start hitting trees!"
"I said I got this! Now hold on!"
Ezra then brought the ship to a shaky landing, but a safe landing at that. Didn't even crash… to much.
The ramp descended and Rex put on his helmet and exited the ship with Kanan, and Ezra following close behind.
Rex looked over the ship looking for where they got hit, but it didn't take long as the port side of the ship was scorched black, and a hole was in the hull.
"We're lucky we weren't in space, of we'd all be dead right now."
Rex then turned on his heels and started walking into the nearby forest. Ezra shouted after him. "Where are you going!"
He stopped and turned around. "I spotted a downed ship in the distance, and I'm going to see if I can salvage anything from it. Stay here and protect the ship!"
Kanan patted Ezra on the shoulder, and said. "He's right. Stay and see what you can do. We don't know who's out here, and we can't trust that we weren't spotted going down."
Kannan started walking after Rex as Ezra began to protest, but decided against it, and began to work on the ship all the time giving the forest suspicious looks every now, and then keeping hi blaster, and lightsaber by his side at all times.
As Rex, and Kanan continued to walk through the forest Rex's boot caught on something and he tripped. Kannan walked over to see what tripped him, and when he did said a silent prayer to whoever who'd listen.
"What is Kanan?" Rex got up, and spotted something dirty white buried in the dirt, and when he got a better look at it, he felt a pang in his heart.
It was the helmet of a Clone Trooper, phase 1 by the look. Rex continued to walk. "Let's go Kanan. We both know what happened here."
Kanan nodded, and hurried after Rex who was all to anxious to leave the body behind. Let the past stay in the past.
After a short while they found a road, but Rex advised to stay off it as Imperials will no doubt be using it, and after a short while of walking a patrol walked by if you can even call it just a 'patrol'. It was a small army of Stormtrooper numbering anywhere from 80 to 300, with AT-DP as support walkers.
RFex, and Kannan hunkered down to wait for the patrol to walk by, but as the patrol began to pass them they heard rustling in the thick foliage ahead of them. Rex, fearing it might be stormtroopers, aimed his weapon ready to shoot at the slightest hint of white armor, and it was a good thing he missed as a figure clad in white armor did come out of the foliage, it was however no Stormtrooper, but in fact a Clone Trooper, of someone in it.
As Rex was caught off guard Kannan checked if any one heard the blaster fire, but lucky the stomping of the walkers drowned out the noise.
The 'Clone Trooper' put his finger up to his helmet's face telling them to be quiet and then laid down on the edge of the road watching the patrol walk past.
Rex, now wanting to know answers, said. "Who are you?!"
The 'Clone Trooper' looked at him, held up a detonator, and pressed the button causing explosives to go off right under the patrol's feat toppling the walkers and melting the white armor of the Stormtrooper to their skin. Thermal detonators, and a lot of them.
The 'Clone Trooper' watched as the screaming stormtroopers who did not die in the blast tried to peel off their armor, but instead peeled off their own skin.
The 'Clone Trooper' was the gone with the sound of rustling foliage telling them where they want, and it was Kannan who took the lead.
"This way, after him!"
They chased after the 'Clone Trooper' for a few kilometers when they come up on the wrecked ship Rex saw. He then saw it was an Old Republic Venator.
He then spotted the 'Clone Trooper' by a hole standing there, and then vanished inside. He was leading them, but to shelter, or to a trap?
They'll soon find out as they charge through the hoe, and follow the 'Clone Trooper' through decimated hallways, and old bodies.
Rex recognizes some of the halls, and see that they're heading up towards the bridge. What'll they fin there?
After a while Rex notices that some of the lights are still on, and some of the consoles are active. This place has power?
The 'Clone Trooper' vanishes into a turbolift, and Fex is about to follow when Kannan grabbed his shoulder. "That lift is the only way up. We go up there we could be trapped.
Rex chuckled. "Has that stopped us before?" and entered the lift.
