I stood upon the top of one of the many glass buildings, scanning the area for the enemy. We were winning, them retreating from our last blow. Only four Jedi were assigned, technically only three, but one of them had an apprentice. Our goal was to eliminate the Separatist forces here, they had taken this planet under siege.

"Sir, what is the plan?" My commander asked me.

"We will have to scout out the enemy, then Kenobi and Skywalker will lead the attack with us coming from behind. It seems simple enough, right, Commander Axel?"

"Yes, it does." He replied before putting his yellow-marked helmet back on and surveying the area with the other six troopers.

I jumped to another building, looking out farther in the distance for the droids, only to see the fallen buildings. I kept on jumping from building to building, looking for them.

"Dammit, where could they be?" I asked myself while still looking. A glint off of a moving piece of metal caught my attention, my head moving in it's direction. "There they are," I said, a smile coming to my face. I lifted my right arm up to my face, pressing the comlink on my wrist to contact General Kenobi and Skywalker. "They have retreated to the south east border of the city, it looks like they have a charging system for the droids, if taken out, then they should power down." I spoke while still looking at the Separatist base.

"Thank you, General Lanwood. We will set off right away for their home base. Is there anything else we should know?" Obi-Wan asked through the communicator.

"It looks like they have just the generator, and maybe a few advanced assassin droids."

"Alright," he spoke, "We will take that into note as well. Make sure to take them from the back, I'll take them from the front, and Anakin and Ahsoka will sneak in to destroy the generator."

"Okay, I'll do that, then." I said before going back to my team. When I arrived, we continued on to our destination, zip-lining when necessary. We then stalked the droids by running behind the rubble and buildings, observing their patterns and possible weak points. We soon fanned out into three groups, Commander Axel and trooper Hardy being with me, two others took a smaller area, and the final three took the escape point. Now, we would wait until Obi-Wan's attack happened, that was our call to attack.

A sudden boom indicated that Obi-Wan had arrived. Blasters sounded as the battle began along with the cries of the idiotic battle droids. I then made my move, igniting both of my lightsabers and jumping over to a battle droid, taking it's head off in one swipe.

"Ah! A Jedi!" One droid called out, soon being silenced by one of my clones. A blast fire then took off, my men taking them out behind their hiding spots while I fought the tougher and more endurable droids.

Once they are all reduced to pieces of scrap metal, we ran into the base, hiding as we entered. I watched as Anakin and his apprentice came from the left, no droids should interfere with them as long as Obi-Wan and I keep them busy. Force-lifting an object, I threw it across the pathway hopefully catching the guards attention.

"Did you hear that crash?" One asked the other.

"Yeah, let's go check it out." The other one stated as they both walked over in the direction of the noise.

The clones then shot at them, taking the droids out with only four shots. More droids ran over to our area, seeing the two inactive droids.

"Um, what in the world happened here?" One of them asked.

"I don't know, we just came here!" Another one yelled. They continued to argue, unaware of us at all.

"Sir?" Axel asked, trying to get my attention. "Should we take them out?"

"Yes, we should."

"You heard the general!"

They all opened fire on the droids, causing them to go in a panic. They began to shoot around, not hitting any of us. Some ended up destroyed by accidentally shooting their comrades while the rest were hit by my men. We then came out and started running toward the generator to cover Skywalker and Tano.

"Keep your ground! Make sure all the droids are destroyed!" I yelled as I deflected a shot with my violet blade, my blue one cutting through a nearing droid. They kept coming as Anakin and Ahsoka finally appeared behind us. "You better deactivate that fast! It looks like we're gaining some attention!" I shouted over the sound of the shooting.

"I know, don't push me!" Anakin spat at me. He was a bit of a jerk in my opinion. Ever since I arrived at the temple, he was always being rude. I can't believe he got even angrier when I was taken as an apprentice before him, it wasn't my fault Master Axfow wanted to train me.

"Just shut up and take care of it!" I said before running towards two assassin droids and spinning in a complete circle, hopefully taking off their heads.

Anakin mumbled something, but I couldn't hear it over an explosion from behind me. I continued fighting in close combat, taking most of the attention off of the troopers and the other Jedi. More explosions went off, most being droid poppers.

I continued to keep fighting, not hearing when Anakin cried, "MOVE!" Mostly because I couldn't hear it, and because I also found Anakin quite unnerving.

The sudden jerk off of the ground made me realize that something had happened. I flew through the air like a lifeless object, my limbs moving freely. I landed with a thud, my back lying on a jagged edge. Everything was blurry and darkening slowly, a few dark figures running towards me, shouting coming from them. The only thing I remembered last was Commander Axel, Anakin, and Ahsoka kneeling down to see me in the pathetic position I was in.

../.\..

I woke up to bright lights filling my vision, I squinted my eyes as I tried to look around. Finding I couldn't, I kept still, my hands curling into fists. I was back at the Jedi Temple, in their hospital to be exact.

"I always knew you were a troublemaker," a woman spoke with a laugh. I could tell it was my former master, Vega Axfow was her name.

"How am I, Master?" I asked her while chuckling.

"You never listen and always do what you want. That's not good for a Jedi at all. You may be wise and strong, but you're also young and a bit reckless and cocky. Don't contradict yourself." She said as she walked over to me, her older form leaning over a bit. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me.

"But I was covering them, wasn't I? I find that to be more of a way of helping them."

"But you ignored the warning Skywalker gave. You still have a very unstable mind." She leaned towards my face and then continued on. "Learn to control it, or else you might fall into the darkness."

"Fine," I sighed in annoyance. "I'll watch my actions and listen to orders from my colleagues."

"That's good," she spoke, giving me a pat on the shoulder. I flinched in response. "Sorry, I forgot that you have burns."

"You can leave now, Master." I groaned.

She laughed, "I'm sorry for bugging you. You need to laugh sometimes, Hunter." She then got up and started to leave, turning back one more time. "Oh, and make sure to rest. They said that you have three-degree burns and your T7 and T8 were shattered in your spinal chord. They say they will take care of the matter tomorrow, so be glad you'll be able to walk again soon."

"Wait, I can't walk?" I was confused.

"If any parts of the thoracic are damaged, then that disables your legs. You will have surgery for cybernetics tomorrow." She said before leaving through the automatic doors, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka entering during the same moment.

"I believe your former padawan has something to say to me." I stated, glaring at Anakin. He only returned the gesture.

"You're the one who didn't listen to me!" He yelled.

"You didn't say it loud enough. Was I supposed to run when I was supposed to cover you as well?!" I spat at him.

Obi-Wan raised a hand in front of Anakin, preventing him from taking a step towards me. "Both of you stop arguing, we don't need another conflict." He stated looking at Anakin and then me. "We already have the war on Christophis taken care of, but we have another issue with the Separatists planing an attack on Coruscant. We don't need each other fighting, especially you in your condition."

I rolled my eyes and looked away, knowing that my annoyed expression would result in some other negative conversation. "Well, I don't need you three to visit me. I don't particularly know you," I pointed towards Ahsoka, "You annoy the crap out of me," I said to Anakin, "And you're only a friend of my master's," I said to Obi-Wan.

"Well, I came in just to make sure you were alright. Anakin was just tagging along." Obi-Wan stated.

"Alright then. If you guys don't mind, I would like some peace and quiet now."

"That seems to be a good choice. I hope you recover, General Lanwood." Obi-Wan bowed before walking away.

"You deserve it," Anakin sneered at me.

"Master! That's very rude!" The Togruta next to him lectured.

"Hey, if you saw what she was like eleven years ago, then you would understand. She stole my thunder."

"No I didn't, the Masters still loved you the most, you're the Chosen One after all." I spoke, stating the obvious.

"And you got jealous of that and tamped up your skills because of it! You just wanted attention, Lanwood!"

"No, I didn't! All I did was pay attention during training and advanced more quickly than the others. I didn't care if you were the Chosen One or not!"

He tried to make a comeback, but only shut his mouth before turning away. "Let's go, Ahsoka." He said as he stalked off.

"Yes, Master." She replied, following him in annoyance. She turned her head to look at me. "I hope you get better, Lanwood!" She waved before leaving.

I smiled and then relaxed. It was best that I did rest, that way I can start recovering so I could be up again. Then again, I need the surgery tomorrow in order to walk again. Thank goodness for the invention of cybernetics, it can make you act as if you have never lost a thing, sometimes even making you a bit stronger. The only disadvantage would be the fact that magnets would pull you away, I remember one Jedi being attached to one because of his cybernetic leg. All of it would be taken care of, I could trust the doctors of the Republic.

I closed my eyes, the eyelids a reddish black from the light on the other side. I meditated for a while, relieving myself of the anger and stress inside of me. It was time for rest, a time to recuperate.
