A word from the Author: TIME TO LOCK AND LOAD! Hey there everyone, this is jediclonecowgirl, with the third chapter of "Ahsoka on Umbara". I will start now, since there is nothing left to say. Really.

Ahsoka's POV:

It was quiet...too quiet for me. I could sense, that there was something comeing right for us, but what? Suddenly I heared a trooper behind me screaming in pain. Responsible for this was some strange kind of weapon, that looked like an insect, or something like it. The planet got stranger, with every minute I spent here. I quickly sliced the metal insect to pieces with my lightsaber, but then the Umbarans were shooting at us...ONCE AGAIN! A nice ambush. Kriff!

"Ambush! They're behind us!", one of the troopers excaimed.

"Everyone, we must defend our backs!", Fives commanded.

My master and I were blocking shots with our lightsabers and the clones were shooting, but there were too many of them. Then Rex suggested to move out, before getting overshot.

"Nice idea Rex.", I said.

"Everyone, move out!", my master excaimed then.

We all ran, until we hid behind some plants. We were save...for now.

"When were these bombers supposed to get here?", I asked.

"Paitence Snips. They're here any minute.", Skyguy replied and he was right.

As he said this, I saw two bombers of the galactic republic flying and dropping bombs.

"Haha! Good old Oddball. He's always on time.", I chuckled.

"That will teach them!", one trooper named Tup added.

The Umbarans were quiet for now and now my master and I were about to speak with...UGH...master Krell. I still thought something was suspicious about him, but I had to keep my mouth shut now, since I didn't want to start any drama. This battle already caused enough of it.

"Master Krell. Our thanks for the air-support.", my master began.

"Indeed general Skywalker. The locals have prooven to be more resourceful, then we anticcipated.", master Krell said.

"But that's not the reason for your visit.", I said.

I wanted to sound normal and I didn't want to show him, that I wasn't really trusting him.

"Nothing, that concernes you kid!", he growled and pushed me aside.

"Master Krell, with all due respect, but I can't allow you to treat my padawan like this.", my master spoke up.

"So this girl is your apprentice? I'm sorry general Skywalker.", he then said.

He didn't bother to say sorry to me. Heck yes! You don't need to apologize at the padawan girl! She won't take that personal! It is just the padawan girl!

"General Skywalker, the council has ordered you back to Coruscant.", he then said to my master, who looked really confused.

"What? Why?", he asked completely stunned.

"The request was made by the suppreme chancellor. That was all they told me.", master Krell replied.

"I...I can't just leave my men and my padawan here!", he stuttered.

Master Krell told him, that he would take over the 501st for this time.

"Don't worry about a thing sir. We'll have this city under republic control, by the time you're back.", Rex said.

I couldn't belive Rex was trusting this guy. My master introduced Rex.

"Master Krell, this is Rex. He's my second-in-command. You won't find a finer or mor loyal trooper anywhere.", he said.

"That's good to hear.", he said.

"And this is my apprentice, you already got to know. Her name's Ahsoka Tano. She is really loyal in battles.", he then siad pointing to me.

"That's good to hear either.", Krell said.

Before he left my master pulled me a few meteres away and hissed an order in my ear.

"Something is not right about this guy. Since you're the jedi commander here, you'll be in charge of the most things, what also includes court-matrial or executions.", he whispered.

"Got it master.", I said.

"May the force be with you my padawan.", he then said.

"And with you.", I returned his comment.

Then my master boarded the gunship and I jogged back to Rex and the other troopers. As the gunship flew away, I thought, that it would be difficult to win this thing. Especially, when we were stuck with master Krell.

"It is an honor to be serving you.", Rex said, as the gunship was gone completely.

"I'm find it very interesting, that you even reconize the value of honor, for a clone.", he returned his comment.

Already this "For a clone." made me mad. Rex only tried to greet properly and he was only being insulted.

"Stand at attention or I'll arrest you.", he then said, as Rex looked at master Krell completely onfused.

Was this guy mad, or was it just me being into a bad mood? He was really overreacting with punishments.

He then told us, that there was a reason, that his command was so effective. It was because he "did things by the book". I could sense, that some troopers, including Fives, felt their hearts sink. He ordered Rex and me to have all platoons ready to move out imidiatly. Then he dismissed us.

"Is it just me, or is general Krell acting weird towards us?", Fives asked me, as master Krell was far enough away.

"I don't clearly know Fives. I really don't know.", I replied.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Quicken that pace battalion! This isn't some training course on Kamino!", master Krell excaimed a little later, as we were walking.

I was walking behind him with Fives and Rex, so I could hear his orders loud and clear.

"The new general really has a way with words.", Fives said.

"You've got a point there.", I mumbled.

"He's júst trying to keep us on schedule.", Rex cut himself in our conversation.

I didn't really trust master Krell and so did Fives. I was pretty sure, that there were also other troopers, that did not trust him. Maybe they hadn't the heart to speak up, because they didn't want to be court-matrialed. I hadn't told them yet, that I was in charge, when it came to things like this.

"Hey, you see that?", Fives suddenly spoke up, bringing me outta my thoughts with it.

There were some strange kind of Umbaran animals coming straight our way.

"Yeah...ready your weapons.", I said and activated my lightsabers.

The troopers raised their weapons and as soon as we could reach these...things, they fired. They avoided our shots and grabbed troopers. Luckily there were only three things of them and they were easy to deal with. I climbed over some plants and jumped onto one of these thingys, sliced them open and bringing the trooper down with it.

"Thank you.", he panted.

"No problem.", I excaimed, since I was already climbing up to help the next trooper.

I sliced the animal open once again and brought it down. Master Krell took care of the last one, while I deactivated my lightsabers, clipped them on my belt and helped the trooper up. It appeared to be Tup.

"Thank you Commander Tano.", he panted.

"No problem at all Tup.", I replied and smiled at him.

"Anyone else want to stop and play with the animals?", I suddenly heared master Krell excaim.

Jedi master or not, this guy began to scare me. The troopers probably felt the same way, since they all were quiet.

"Didn't think so. Now keep moving!", he yelled at us.

I just watched this crazy jedi walking away and I had to struggle to keep my lightsabers on my belt and not to take off one and use it against him.

Ending Word: Well...this is an unlucky situation for Ahsoka and the 501st. Their real leader is gone, they are outnumbered against the "Shadow-People" and they are stuck with the most crazy jedi of the ordrer. How will it go on?

I'd love if you'd leave some revies behind, before you have to defend yourself against staqrnge animals. Now I will just say bye bye and may the force be with you.
