Echo's P.O.V:

I couldn't stop yet another shout of agony as the whip was brought down across my chest again. They were demanding to know why my wrist com was beeping, there was no way to shut it off and if I told them why it was beeping they'd probably destroy it. Fives would lose any hope of finding me if that happened. I looked at my interrogator defiantly. He signaled the commando droids standing on either side of me and they both put their staffs to my sides, sending an electric current through me. I tried to hold back a scream of pain but couldn't.

The current disappeared and I was barely awake. Hope they get here soon, not sure how much more of this I can take, I thought to myself as the whip came across my bare chest again and I passed out.

I woke up again to the reassuring beep of my wrist com, they hadn't destroyed it yet. I was honestly surprised that it was still working after the explosion sent me flying one way and my helmet the other. I hated being restrained, it made me feel useless but right now, I didn't have the energy to struggle. I eyed the two commando droids guarding the door inside the small room. With nothing to do but struggle or sleep, I just stared at the two droids, wishing I could beat them into scraps. I was getting restless, I had to shoot something. I groaned in frustration at my imprisonment.

Fives' P.O.V:

I woke up early the next day and armored up before anyone else was even awake. But Kix, being the light sleeper he was, woke up while I was getting geared up.

"You do know Rex has to talk to General Skywalker about this first right?" he asked, getting up and putting his own gear on.

"Yeah, but Skywalker is always up for a suicide mission," I answered quietly, trying not to wake the others.

"True," Kix agreed with a chuckle.

I was already armored up and anxious to get going, to find my lost brother. I'm coming for you Echo, I thought to myself. I ran down to the training room to try to work of my restlessness.

Then Rex's voice came over the helmet com system, "We're to report to the bridge as soon as we are geared up, the General wants to talk to us, didn't say what about."

I hurried to the bridge to see what Skywalker could possibly want to talk to us about. I stopped about halfway there and decided to grab Echo's helmet, I ran quickly to the barracks and saw Rex and everyone else still gearing up. I grabbed Echo's helmet off of my foot locker and waited for everyone else to finish gearing up.

"Up a bit early huh?" Jesse asked when I had come in.

I shrugged in response. Everyone finished and we headed to the bridge. I clipped Echo's helmet to my belt as we all gathered around the holo-table with General Skywalker and Commander Tano.

"Fives, I think you might be a bit partial to this mission," Skywalker started out, "We've received a distress beacon from somewhere on the Citadel."

"Sir, we already know about the beacon," Rex said when the General paused, "Fives held onto Echo's helmet, when someone activates their beacon, it gives a notification on the HUD, confirms the coordinates," Rex explained.

"Then I suppose this briefing will be rather short," Skywalker said with a slight tone of surprise, "I assume you've already checked the coordinates?"

"Yes, sir," I answered quickly, "and I'm willing to do anything to get Echo back from the seppies," I said, resting my rifle in the crook of my arm.

"Good to hear," Skywalker said, giving me a quick nod, "We leave in ten, be ready."

"Sir, what's the plan?" Rex asked.

"Same as last time, get in, find Echo, get out," he answered as he left.

"Fives," Rex addressed me, "considering how bent you are on getting Echo back, I'm putting you in charge."

I nodded in acknowledgement, "Kix, see to it that you have a med-console on standby for when we evac outta there."

"Already on it," Kix said, leaving the bridge.

"Make sure we're ready for whatever comes our way, we made it out once before, we'll make it out again, the only difference is that we're rescuing a brother, not a Jedi and his ship's captain," I said, addressing everyone.
