Ahsoka's jedi cruiser comes out of hyper space above the planet utapau, clone captain Rex stands on the bridge looking down at the planet, the cruiser is far away from other enemy cruisers, just in case they get shot down by the empire. As soon as they stop, Rex gets on his communicator and he contacts Boil to let him know they are above the planet.
Boil: This is boil.
Rex: Rex here, we are above utapau now, ready for the disguises.
Boil: All right, I'm on my way brother and I managed to get us some help, some of the legion still believe in the jedi.
Rex: Good, we need all we can get.
Boil: Agreed, they will be with you all the way, I doubt things will end here peacefully..
Rex: I don't know.. we will see brother.
Boil: Indeed, see you soon Rex, Boil out.
Then Boil cut the communication, Rex made his way to Ahsoka's chambers, walking in on her with the youngling Arlo, who she was training to use the force. As Rex walked in, Ahsoka looked over at her dear Friend and she smiles, standing up straight instead of kneeling to Arlo's height.
Ahsoka: Continue learning Arlo, I will be back soon I just need to talk to captain Rex.
Arlo nodded at her and smiled, looking back at a marksman bot, drawing his lightsaber and igniting it and he starts deflecting bolts but the bots setting is on easy, so he is easily deflecting the bolts, meanwhile Ahsoka walks out with the clone captain and the door closed.
Rex: We are at utapau kid, Boil is on his way with disguises for me, Kix and some other clones, then we will get the information from Cody.. and hopefully make him see reason.
Ahsoka: Rex I know how close you and Cody are but if you cant make him see reason.. you have to kill him, I'm sorry but its the only way.
He looked down and sighs as he nodded.
Rex: I hope it doesn't come to that Kid, Cody is a great man and we can use him in this war.
Ahsoka: I know Rexter... but you need to think of your brothers that fight with you down there, not ones that can not be helped.. if you feel like Cody can be trusted then bring him on board, if not then you have to kill him. Its better then being a slave for the empire.
Rex: Yeah, I understand. I'm going to go to the hanger to meet him.
Ahsoka nodded and she went back into her room then the captain left to the hanger and he stands there as a gunship enters the hanger, the side doors opening and Boil walks out with 2 more clone troopers from the legion. Boil walked towards Rex and they shook hands.
Rex: Good to see you again Boil.
Boil: You too captain.
Boil removed his helmet as did the other 2 clones, Rex recognised them both.
Boil: You remember Trapper and Crys right?
Rex: Yes, good men. They're on our side I take it?
Trapper: Yes sir, we witnessed ourselves what commander Cody did to general Kenobi, we realised it was wrong and when boil told us about what was going on.. we decided to join you sir.
Crys: Yeah, we cant just sit there and follow orders like puppets, we are men so we think.
Rex: Good, I'm glad to have you all. You got the stuff we need?
Boil: In a box in the gunship.. but just to make it clear, I put X's on all the front of the helmets, so you will know we are on the same side.
Kix: That's a good idea, we can't take any shots in the back.
Rex: Agreed, good thinking Boil.
Rex and his small team get the armour and dresses into the 212th legions armour for their mission on utapau. Once their all armoured up they all go to the gunship and they all board then the doors close, the gunship taking off from the hanger down to utapau.
Boil: Cody is in a command building, above where a battle took place. Cody is commanding from where grievous and the separatists leaders met to talk.
Rex: Dammit, that's going to be well defended.
Boil: Yeah it is, it will be hard getting up there but if we try hard enough and keep our heads down, it will be easy.
Rex: I hope your right Boil, we could use an easy going mission right now.
Boil: Yeah.. you know I was so looking forward for this war to end.
Rex looks at his clone brother.
Rex: We all were.
Boil: Get a chance at a normal life you know? not have so much blaster fire at you.
Rex nodded and sighed.
Boil: Instead we got another war to fight now.
Rex: You don't have to you know.. you can leave, not fight.
Boil: No.. how can I live knowing I ran away from a war that could either save everyone or kill us all.. no way, im fighting this war.
Rex: For who?
Boil: What you mean?
Rex: There has to be someone specific you are fighting for in this war.
Boil: ...There's this little girl back on ryloth... during the liberation.
Rex: I remember.
Boil: This little girl called me and Waxer brother.. all the time.
Rex: Really?
Boil: Yeah.. I want fight her.. so she can have a real life without being a subject to this dam war or anything.
Rex: Understandable.
Boil: I only hope she made it off ryloth when it was attacked.
Rex: When we are finished here you can take a fighter and find out can't you.
Boil: Yeah I guess.
The gunship lands and Rex and the other troops put their helmets on.
Boil: Ready?
Rex: As I'll ever be.
The side doors open and they walk off, Rex looks around then he follows Boil up the path towards Cody's location. As they walked some of the 212th legion looked over at Boil and the others but they just ignored it and continued what they were doing. As they walked Rex looked down and thought about something.
Rex: Boil.. where does Cody store his weapons and equipment?
Boil: Why?
Rex: We could use them.. more then the 212th.
Boil: Ok.. Crys take the troops and take them to the equipment.
Rex: Kix go with them, me, Boil and Trapper got this.
Kix: All right, be safe Rex.
Rex: Always.
Then they split up, Rex, Boil and Trapper went towards Cody's command centre while Kix and Crys and the troopers go towards where the equipment is stored so they can take it off planet by gunship. Boil walks into Cody's command centre while Crys walks into a tent where the equipment is kept. Boil, Rex and Trapper walked towards Cody as he talks to some men.
Boil: Commander.
Cody turned to the trooper.
Cody: What is it Boil?
Boil: We need to talk to you sir.
Cody looked over at Rex as he was disguised.
Cody: Who's this?
Boil: Um.. its.. Crys sir.
Cody: Crys?
Rex nodded in agreement.
Cody: Ok, lets go.
Boil, Trapper and Rex lead Cody out of the command centre and towards the landing pad. Cody gets suspicious and he looks at Rex, thinking.
Cody: Crys talk.
Rex glances back at Cody then looks forward. Cody gets paranoid and he lifts his dc-15s, aiming at Rex. Trapper looks back and he tackles Rex out of the way, Rex's helmet coming off and Rex looks at Cody, Cody stares right back at him.
Cody: Rex..?
Rex: Cody.. don't do anything stupid.
Cody backs up, aiming his dc-15s rifle at all 3 of them then Rex stands, holding his dc-15s while Trapper and Boil hold their dc-15a rifles.
Rex: Cody stop.
Cody: Your a traitor Rex, didn't think you would be a traitor to the republic.
Rex: Cody use your head you have to know killing the jedi is wrong.
Cody: We are soldiers Rex and soldiers follow orders.
Rex: Cody where are the imprisoned jedi?
Cody: I'm not telling you.
Cody shoots at Rex but he quickly moves away and he tackles Cody to the floor then Other troopers in the 212th shoot at Trapper and Boil so they return fire quickly and Cody kicks Rex off of him and gets up quickly, running off and Rex follows him quickly. Cody runs back to the command centre while Boil and trapper remained trapped on the gunship platform being shot at by a lot of the 212th legion. When Cody runs into the command centre followed by Rex he turned and ordered all the troopers that was in the command centre to shoot Rex down so they did so but Rex quickly jumped behind cover and returned fire with his dc-15s rifle but was quite out numbered. Boil and Trapper look at each other thinking about how the hell they can get out of their little "situation" right now.
Boil: How the hell can we get out of this one!
Trapper: Try and contact Kix and Crys! Maybe they can give us support!
Boil: Got it!
Boil activates his communicator.
Boil: Kix you there!? Crys hello!? Anybody!
He groans annoyance and hits the gunship they are using as cover.
Boil: Looks like we are on our own.
Trapper: That isn't good then.
Trapper moves out of cover, shooting at the 212th troopers but he gets shot in the arm and he shouted and he took cover again.
Trapper: Dammit!
Boil: Stay behind cover!
While Boil and Trapper fight on the platform, Rex throws a thermal detonator at some of the last 212th legion and they die as the detonator explodes. Cody looks at his dead brothers then over at Rex's cover and he keeps shooting at it until he runs out of charges, then Rex comes out and aims at Cody.
Rex: I don't want to do this Cody.
Cody: I wont tell you anything Rex.
Rex: Come on Cody you have to see sense!
Cody: You can talk traitor.
Rex: I'm no traitor.
Cody: Whatever you say.. brother.
Rex moves closer, keeping his rifle up to Cody then Rex pulls some restraints out and he is about to grab Cody's arm but Cody quickly grabs his wrist and twists it around, making Rex groans in pain and he hits Cody around the face with his dc-15s rifle, making Cody's helmet fly off and stumble back. Rex looks at Cody and tackles him onto the floor but Cody kicks him right off and stands quickly, grabbing a lightsaber that general Grevious dropped when Obi-wan cut one of his hands off.
Cody: Back up Rex.
Rex stares at him as he ignites the lightsaber and points it at Rex.
Cody: Rex I have known you for a long time and I really don't want to kill you but I will if I have to.
Rex: Cody put it down.
Cody: No.
Rex: Cody...
Cody runs at Rex and swings the lightsaber at him multiple times but Rex keeps dodging and he kicks the lightsaber out of Cody's hands and hits him onto the floor but Cody uses his legs and kicks Rex's legs out from under him making him fall on the floor which gave Cody the chance to get up quickly and runs to grab a dc-17 blaster pistol but Rex quickly gets up and runs after him, when Cody grabs the dc-17 he turns to shoot Rex but Rex quickly tackles him to the floor and Cody then kicks him off again and he stood and turned to shoot Rex again but yet again was stopped when Rex grabbed his arm and disarmed him, taking the gun and he hits Cody on the back of the head hard with the dc-17 pistol. Cody then let out a shout of pain and he gripped his head hard.
Cody: AHHHH!
Rex moved away and aimed at Cody as he falls on the floor, groaning out loud then when he stands up he looks at Rex and he raises his hands.
Cody: Rex wait.
Rex: Why?
Cody: I realised what I did was wrong.. I am really sorry Rex I don't know what came over me.
Rex: We need to find out what the hell it was.. it seemed to be in your head.
Cody: You can do an a scan back in a med-bay.
Rex nods and he lowers his gun as he walks closer to Cody.
Rex: Cody this is important, where are the jedi?
Cody: The jedi? Oh yeah um their on..
Cody stops speaking as he see's what looks like a laser sight on Rex's head so Cody quickly pushes Rex out of the way and because Cody is directly in front of Rex and because of the angle the laser was at, the bolt from the blaster rifle goes right through Cody's chest and he holds his chest, stumbling back a bit. Rex looked up at his Brother and he stands and runs to him as he falls to the floor so he kneels by him.
Rex: Cody!
Cody groans in pain and he grabs Rex and pulls him closer as he isn't strong enough to talk loud.
Cody: T-The... citadel...
Rex looked at his dying brother.
Rex: Come on Cody come on you cant die brother not now.
Cody: R-Rex... forgive me... I was... too blind.
He groaned out and found it harder to breath and talk.
Rex: Hold on brother..
Rex tried communicating Kix.
Rex: Kix? Kix come in!... anybody!
Assassin: I jammed the signal.
Rex looked up at the ceiling towards where the voice came from and the voice sounded robotic as it was masked then he had seen the assassin that wears armour resembling darth Revan the fallen jedi from the times of the old republic but the armour is more modified. Cody groaned then fell limp and his eyes closed, falling back. Rex looked at his dead brother and anger grew inside of him and he stood up slowly, grabbing the lightsaber that was on the floor and he ignited it as he looked up at the assassin.
Rex: Come down here and fight me like a man!
The assassin jumped down and landed on their feet, drawing a lightsaber and igniting it to a red colour.
Assassin: Sure you can handle this.. clone.
They walked in a circular patten around each other, keeping the distance they had between each other.
Rex: I can handle you.
Assassin: ..We will see.
They turn to each other and run at each other and they strike at the same time, their lightsabers clashing.
Meanwhile back on the landing pad Boil and Trapper are still holding off against the legion but they are running low on charges and they are near the edge as the other gunships have been taken out. Boil shoots blindly and wastes the rest of his dc-15a charges and he throws it to the ground.
Boil: I'm out.
Trapper: One charge left.. dammit.
Boil: Looks like we are done.
The blasters stop.
212th trooper: Soldiers Boil and Trapper, come out now and face punishment for betraying the empire.
Boil and Trapper look at each other then they come out and they have their hands up as a surrender sign. When they walk to the edge of the platform the 212th legion aim at them.
212th trooper: Last Words?
Boil: We are not traitors.. we are fighting for the right cause, your all traitors to the republic.
The 212th legion prepare to fire but then they get blown up by a thermal detonator thrown from a gunship where Kix and Crys stand with the other troopers they had with them, Crys is on a turret and opens fire on the 212th legion as did the other troopers in the gunship with him.
Kix: Boil where's Rex!?
Boil: He chased Cody to the command centre!
The gunship lowered to the platform so Boil and Trapper boarded and took new guns, shooting at the 212th troopers.
Kix: Take us to their command centre!
The gunship makes its way there.
Boil: Did you steal their equipment?
Kix nodded.
Kix: We got some troopers to take other gunships with more things on it.. we even got some walkers.
Boil: Lucky..
In the command centre Rex and the mystery Assassin fight but Rex is at a disadvantage as he isn't force sensitive but he knows how to fight, even fight a jedi or sith. Rex kept striking at the Assassin who blocked his attacks and fought back against the clone captain who was full of rage over his friends death. The Assassin kicks Rex back and pushes a hand towards him, using the force which causes Rex to fly back and the lightsaber flies out of his hand and he groans as he lands and he is right by the edge of the command centre and he groans out and looks over at the Assassin who walks closer to him with a dark chuckle.
Assassin: Well you lasted longer then I expected Clone.
Rex: I can still fight you.
Assassin: No.
The assassin points their hand at Rex, using the force to hold him down even though he struggles but its not enough and the Assassin walks closer as he struggles.
Assassin: There is no chance of you getting out of this Clone.
Rex: Let me out and I will shoot your head off.
Assassin: Time to die clone.
Just as the Assassin is about to strike Rex dead the gunship flies in front of the open space in the command centre and the blaster rifles are aimed at the Assassin. The assassin looks over at the gunship and Rex looked back at it and laughs.
Kix: Save the captain!
All the troopers inside the gunship shoot at the Assassin who moves back and uses the force to pull the lightsaber that flew out of Rex's hand and they ignite it and use both of the lightsabers to deflect the blaster bolts from the troopers rifles. Rex stands up and he grabs dc-17 blaster pistols and shoots at the Assassin with the other troopers but the Assassin just deflects the bolts and runs off, followed by Rex chasing. The Assassin runs to general Grievous landing platform where the dead robot general's body still lays next to the dagger-class starfighter which belongs to the Assassin. The Assassin runs to their ship followed by the clone captain and just before they get into the starfighter, Rex shoots at the Assassin with his dc-17 blasters which causes the Assassin jumps off and ignites the ligthsabers while looking at the captain.
Rex: Your not running off coward!
Assassin: Your funeral clone.
The Assassin runs at Rex who starts shooting at the Assassin again while watching the Assassin move but keeps shooting till the Assassin is so close he starts dodging the Assassins attacks at him then he kicks one of the lightsabers out of the Assassins hand and he gets a shot at the Assassins chest but it doesn't penetrate the armour it only knocks them down onto the floor, groaning then Rex walks closer and aims his blaster at the Assassins head.
Rex: Last words?
Assassin: Not today.
The Assassin pushes their hands towards Rex and he flies back into a wall, hitting it quite hard then falling to the floor. The Assassin takes this chance and runs to their starfighter and gets inside of it and starts it up. Rex quickly gets up and throws a tracker onto it just before it flies off.
Rex: Dammit.. I failed..
The gunship goes down onto the landing pad and Kix runs out to Rex, helping him onto the gunship and it flies back up to the venator-class star destroyer where the extra gunships are unpacking every single crate of supplies and equipment and even some AT-RT walkers and some AT-TE walkers too, so more weapons for them along with what they already had in their 3 venator-class star destroyer's. Rex's gunship lands in the hanger bay and Kix takes Rexthe Med-bay to get checked out for serious injuries. After a check up Rex lays on a Medical bed without his body armour on, only his waist down armour is on him.
Kix: Everything seems fine Rex.
Rex: Good, so I'm all good for a fight?
Kix: I would say so.. your a tough one.
Ahsoka runs in.
Ahsoka: Rex you ok?
Rex sits up and looks at her as he hangs his legs off the edge of the bed as he sits there.
Rex: I'm fine kid.
Ahsoka: You ran into a sith Assassin?
Rex: So it seems.
Ahsoka: Oh god Rex are you sure your ok?
Kix: I did all the scans and he's Perfectly fine Ahsoka.
Ahsoka: Ok.. I will trust it.
Kix: I am going to go check up on Boil and the others.
Ahsoka nodded and Kix left the med-bay, leaving Ahsoka and Rex alone in the med-bay.
Rex looked over at Ahsoka.
Rex: No need to worry about me kid, I have been in many fights as you know well.. so its all fine I promise.
Ahsoka sat next to Rex on the bed.
Ahsoka: I can't help it Rexter your a great friend and I am paranoid about loosing you to this new war and I don't want that.
Rex put his hand on Ahsoka's cheek and turns her to look at him and she did look at him, right into his eyes.
Rex: You wont ever loose me Ahsoka.. I promise you that.
She smiled softly and her eyes started to wonder her face until they looked at his lips, he notices and he started leaning his head in closer to hers slowly and she leaned her head in closer to his too but just before their lips touched the med-bay doors opened so they quickly pulled away from each other. Ahsoka quickly stood up while Rex just looked down and sighed Then Kix walked in and looked at them both.
Kix: Oh sorry was I interrupting?
Ahsoka: No you wasn't.. I'm going to go.
Rex: Ahsoka..
Ahsoka quickly walks out of the med-bay and to her quarters, thoughts racing through her head. Rex sighed and looked down as he thought to himself.
Kix: Sorry Rex.
Rex: Forget it Kix..
Kix nodded and he left to his quarters. Rex put his armour back on then went up to the war room and he activated the holo-terminal and he activated the tracking beacon he threw onto the Assassins starfighter then Ahsoka walked in soon after and she looked around the clone trooper to see what he was doing.
Ahsoka: What is this?
Rex: I put a tracking device onto the Assassins starfighter and now I can see where they are going.
Ahsoka: Right.. Where is it going then?
Rex pressed some buttons on the terminal and on the holograms it shows a circular red light and the flight destination is on the holograms too.
Rex: Mustafar.
Ahsoka nodded and walked off but Rex followed. Ashoka goes down to the hanger and she gets into her delta-7 aethersprite-class jedi starfighter but Rex quickly ran up to her before she took off.
Rex: Stop you cant go to mustafar alone.
Ahsoka: You cant stop me Rex.
Rex: I can and will.. I am coming with you.
Ahsoka: No Rex no way.
Rex: Ahsoka you are not stopping me, try all you want but you cant.
Ashoka let out a sigh.
Ahsoka: Fine.. get in a ship and get ready.
Rex nodded and he walked off to a z-95 starfighter and he boarded it, taking off out of the hanger with Ahsoka in her starfighter. They stayed just outside the venator-class star destroyer and Ahsoka contacts Kix.
Ahsoka: Kix listen, me and Rex are going to mustafar after the Assassin and I need you to take the cruiser and everything to typhon and set up a base there then set the equipment there, me and Rex will meet you on typhon when we deal with the Assassin.
Kix: Yes general, we will be waiting.. you stay safe.
Ahsoka: When am I not?
Kix: Do i need to answer?
Ahsoka giggled and smiled.
Ahsoka: Bye Kix.
Kix: See ya Ahsoka.. may the force be with you I think the jedi say.
Ahsoka: It is and may the force be with you too.
With that Rex and Ahsoka went into hyperspace, their destination mustafar.
