Rex led me down to the cell room where my armor was kept along with all of my weapons. I rubbed my arm that bore my Mandalorian tattoo. Captain Rex removed his helmet tucking it under his arm. "Here's your armor, Sir."

"You know, you don't have to call me 'Sir'. I'm not one for formalities; just call me Kira- Whoa! How do you have blonde hair?" I asked intrigued by the blonde haired clone.

Rex chuckled. "It's dyed," He said. "It's sort of a way for clones to feel individual."

I nodded. "I like it," I said. "Wouldn't look good on Jango but it works for you."

"Si- uh Kira," He began. "Jango and I are identical."

I shook my head. "No," I said touching the chest plate of my armor that lay on the counter. "You may be a clone of Jango but in my eyes you're completely different. Jango had a scar above his eye, he was shorter and bulkier. Different personalilties."

"You're probably the only person who thinks clones are different." He chuckled.

I gave a forced smile. "You're more than just a copy of a dead man, Captain." I said picking up my armor and walked off to the 'fresher. I pulled off my clothes and looked into the mirror, I could see all of my ribs and my eyes had lost the light in them. I had always loved my eyes; they used to hold a bright ice blue. Now they seemed dull. I messed with my bra strap taking deep breaths. I felt a cold brush of air touch my shoulder.

'Don't give up.' A voice said through my mind, I looked around but saw no one. 'My daughter, do not give up. Fight for him…' the female voice said.

I nodded. "Till the day I die." I said and got in the shower. I had washed my hair and body getting out soon after. I pulled the towel over my skinny figure when the image of my mother appeared. "Back so soon?" I asked slightly above a whisper.

She smiled. "Kira," She said. "You look terrible."

"Thanks." I muttered rolling my eyes then I looked over at her excitedly. "Wait, you're a Force ghost! When do I get to see Jango?" I asked looking around expecting him to appear.

She looked down. "You can't, Sweetheart."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"You have to be Force sensitive to be a Force ghost…" She sighed.

I felt myself die a little inside. "That's kriffed up."

"But I have a message from him."

"Oh sure! You can see him but I can't?" I asked angrily.

"Honey, I'm dead." She said. I rolled my eyes and began brushing my hair. "But he says he's sorry he failed you, and not to do this to yourself, he says he loves you very much and that he misses you."

I felt tears well up in my eyes. "He didn't fail me… why does he think that?" I asked worried.

"He left you," She said. "He feels that he is the cause of your tears and your pain."

"I'm grieving him," I said. "I know he wouldn't want me to but I love him, Mom. I'm still in love with him… is it crazy to be in love with a dead man?"

She smiled lightly and kissed my forehead. "No," She said. "Not when you love someone as much as you love Jango.

"Tell him that I love him, that I miss him more and more each day and that I'm going to find Boba and Slone, even if it kills me. Oh, and tell him… to watch out for boogie men." I said with a small smile. "He'll understand the last part."

Lenore smiled and nodded. "I will."

I let out a long breath as I got dressed in my armor. "Sure does feel good to wear this again…" I said quietly I picked up my wedding ring that was looped around a necklace and put it over my head on my neck and tucked it in the chest of the armor.

"Kira," She said calmly. I looked over, "I have to go now, but keep your promise to Jango. Find Boba and Slone."

"I will." I said as she faded. I looked down then shook my head clipping my lightsaber to my belt then noticed my blaster was missing. I snorted and walked out with my helmet tucked under my arm, Rex straightened up.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Definitely." I replied as we walked up the stairs. I looked around and saw a young female Togruta arguing with Anakin. "Who's the kid?" I asked.

"That's General Skywalker's padawan, Ahsoka Tano."

"Hm." I said "Do they argue all the time?"

Rex laughed. "Pretty much."

I smirked.

Anakin looked over and motioned his head as to say 'come here' Rex and I walked over. "Captain Rex," He said. "I'll be going after Dooku. I need you and Ahsoka to get on the Endurance and keep close by."

"Yes Sir!" Rex saluted and walked off with the Togruta girl.

"What about me?" I asked.

He gave a smirk. 'I have a bad feeling about this.' I thought.

Anakin put a hand on my shoulder. "You get to get to come with me to find Dooku."

"You know this is terrible business for me; going after the same guy who hired me three months earlier, only this time I don't get paid." I said; Anakin smirked as we entered a shuttle.

"Wait! Give me your lightsabers." Obi-Wan said trotting over.

"I just got it back!" I exclaimed putting my hands on my hips.

"Just do it." He said; I rolled my eyes as I handed him my lightsaber as Anakin did the same.

Anakin piloted the small shuttle off the main ship, the Endurance as we flew through space towards a large separatist cruiser.

"You know I've never been one to just waltz in a heavily armored, heavily gunned cruiser with no weapons." I said checking the scanner. "I prefer some sort of self-defense."

"So do I," Anakin said. "But Obi-Wan seems to think this will work better."

"Right." I said as we landed.

"Ladies first." He said standing up.

I rose an eyebrow and walked out. I looked around and saw a group of droids coming. "Uh Houston we have a problem."

"Jedi!" The annoying voices of the droid squealed.

'Well that worked.' Anakin and I were now sitting in a cell. "Good plan." I said sarcastically.

"Just wait," He said. "Obi-Wan will come soon."

"So what was the point of getting caught if Obi-Wan is just going to come get us out? And why did he take our lightsabers?" I asked when Anakin jumped up wedging himself in between parts of the wall.

"Hide!" I ran behind the side of the door pressing myself back. The door swooshed open and a human figure walked in, Anakin jumped down as Obi-Wan ignited his lightsaber towards Anakin's face. "Oh, it's you."

I walked out crossing my arms over my chest and cocking a hip to the side. "This is how you thank me for rescuing you? Pouncing on me from the ceiling?"

Anakin looked at his hand. "Kind of difficult when you don't have a lightsaber." He said taking the weapon from Obi-Wan. "Thanks."

"Did you two manage to locate Dooku before landing in jail?"

"Well I know he's on board and I might have been able to do something about it if I had my weapon!" Anakin commented as we exited the cell.

"It was important for you to arrive without it," Obi-Wan explained handing mine back. "So your capture would be convincing."

"Yeah, Jedi without their legandary lightsabers. Totally convincing when they don't have them." I muttered.

"Yeah they were convinced all right, how come I'm the one getting caught all the time?" Anakin asked, I smirked as I followed them, I must say they were pretty entertaining to watch argue. "Doesn't look good."

"When you're a Jedi master, you can make the plan." Obi-Wan said over his shoulder.

"That's just it! How am I going to be a Jedi master if I'm always getting caught?" He asked irritated.

"At least you're a master at getting caught." Obi-Wan countered, I smirked.

"Very funny." Anakin mumbled.

"Yeah, very funny." I said walking up to Anakin who was a good foot taller than me. "Especially from my point of view."

"Hmp." He mumbled. We went through a door into a room which held Dooku meditating. "Surprise, surprise."

All three of us ignited our lightsabers. "If it isn't Count Dooku." Obi-Wan said calmly.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi," Dooku said without opening his eyes. "I thought I sensed and unpleasant disturbance in the Force. I see you've freed young Skywalker and Fett. Where might he be if you weren't always around to rescue him?"

I rolled my eyes. 'Old guys, they always think they're real smart.'

"Sir! There's a Jedi cruiser attacking!" One of the whinny droids yelped.

"Your ship is surrounded, Count. Republic troops are boarding as we speak."

"Jedi fools!" He growled before the ground beneath him moved down as Dooku went sliding through a shoot.

"I should have seen that coming!" Obi-Wan said as Anakin ran for the opening. "What are you doing?"

"Following him!" Anakin replied.

"Not that way! We need to cut him off."

"You cut him off," Anakin said as he jumped into the shoot. "I'll follow him and meet you at the hanger!"

"If you're quite through!" I said motioning towards the door. "He's going to escape!"

"Why do I even try?" He asked following me.

"I asked myself that every time Boba or Slone ran in the house." I said as we raced down the hallway. "But hey, kids never listen."

"Anakin should," Obi-Wan said sighing. "He's not a kid."

"Hey I'm thirty five years old and even I have the mentality of a kid." I said as we entered the hanger, Dooku's ship was just leaving. "Get him!" We raced after the ship but to futile attempts.

We raced towards a droid ship as Anakin jumped out of the portal where Dooku must've come from they shot at Obi-Wan who quickly cut them down. We jumped in the pilot seats and began powering up the ship, I moved out of the way so Anakin could fly and went to the controls in the back.

"I thought you were following Dooku?" Obi-Wan said throwing a glance at his former padawan.

"I was." Anakin replied. "I followed him here."

"Of course." I mumbled in the back. "Let's go, shall we?"

"Hang on!" Anakin called as they flew the ship out of the hanger as the doors were closing.

"Ahsoka, Dooku managed to escape. We're in pursuit but we could use reinforcements." Obi-Wan said through his comm. Link. "Follow us in any ships you can round up."

"We'll get there as soon as we can." Ahsoka replied through the comm.
