Stars, beautiful stars whizzed past the starship. Damani stared out the window, wishing she could be out there, on other planets and exploring the galaxy. What she had wanted to do from the start was find her home planet, but she couldn't figure out which one it was. She had been going through a list in her head.
"Master Windu?" she yelled up front, "Do you know what planet I'm from?" Mace Windu came down to from the cockpit,
"I'd say you're from a crazy planet," he said, "But I was told, from master Obi-Wan, that you came from a different galaxy. Yes, a new and unexplored galaxy, you see there was a portal to the galaxy made by a genius, a real genius not one of you knuckleheads. You come from a planet called Earth, a planet where the entire population is humans and animals unknown to us. Obi-Wan picked you up there and brought you back here to the Temple. We trained you as best we could but you were just a trouble maker,"
"Why wasn't I told this before?" she asked.
"You weren't supposed to know. But now that you are going to Kamino, I thought it a good time to tell you where you come from, since you asked," Damani nodded. They arrived on Kamino a few minutes later and Lama Su greeted them. He showed them to the training course and where she would sleep and other stuff like that. After an hour, Mace Windu left, without her and she was left with a bunch of new clones and a lot to learn.
"Ok clones listen up," said a gruff voice behind them, "I'm only going to say this once, get your butts in there and start training or I'm gonna throw you so hard the wind will tear you apart," Damani's eyes widened and followed the rest of the clones inside.
"He sure has a way with motivation," she said to the clone next to her. He nodded as they walked into the armory. Damani picked up her armor and slid it over her chest. There were several different pieces so it was rather complicated for the clones, but Damani had studied the armory in the short period that she has to look around so it was easy for her. The armor had clear T-visor helmets, thigh plates, and arm plates each with an attached comlink so they could talk during training. Once everyone was ready the walked out onto the training course, it was a big room with large obstacles and areas to take cover. The droids came out of little doors and they started.
They ran together as a group, teamwork was the best way to go, but none of the clones listened to what she was saying. All they did was blast away without a purpose or even try to target the droids; it was very nerve-racking. Damani had gotten two pistols and intended only to use them when she needed, otherwise, she used her lightsaber, swinging only to block-they didn't want the droids damaged-the fake blue blaster bolts that came her way. Damani ran to the right to avoid a shot and jumped over an obstacle, landing in a dive roll; she popped back up and followed the clones to the goal. Several weeks past, not once did they make it to the goal, and on top of that, Lama Su had called Obi-Wan Kenobi to tell him Damani could not focus.
Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker flew straight to Kamino, wanting to get there fast they took a Hyperspace Super Railway Ship-HSRS- to the planet and got there in no time flat. Anakin had bolted inside the moment the ship landed; he had waited to see Damani for a month, and now was his chance. He ran through the halls and down to the armory, only to see Damani being taken away from him with her clone squad. He reached for her hand, but missed and Damani's group rounded the corner, leaving him behind.
Anakin-who was very depressed-walked slowly back up the hall to find his master. He saw him talking to a group of clones, asking them about training and how hard it was.
"Master," said Anakin as the group left, "Master, I want to see Damani,"
"Let me talk with Lama Su," said Obi-Wan, "I'll see what I can do," Anakin nodded and went to the waiting room; he sat down, wondering when his master would walk through the door, holding Damani by the shoulder, grinning. However, it never happened, his master only walked in the room to give him devastating news.
"I am sorry," said Lama Su, "But we do not have an alternative. We must completely erase her memory and send her home to...Earth," Anakin's jaw dropped as the words came out of his mouth. He tried to tell Obi-Wan to decline the offer, but his master only agreed, for Anakin's sake, and Damani's. Anakin waited all night to see Damani, and finally she came out of the room in front of him.
"Damani!" he said jumping out of his seat, "Damani?"
"I'm sorry what?" said Damani, "Whose Damani? I'm Vicx, by the way," Anakin could not believe his ears; she didn't know who he was, or who she used to be. Later that night Damani was shipped off to her galaxy-earlier Lama Su had told them that a portal had been created and she could go back through-To live a life on Earth, with a new family, and no thought of the Jedi or even the galaxy she had lived In for sixteen years. Nothing, nothing in the entire galaxy could make Anakin feel worse, not even the thought of his mother could bring him down like this; he was not angry-at the moment-he was only sad, the saddest Jedi, person ever to walk the face of the universe-in his mind he was-. They left Kamino and went back to Coruscant; Anakin walked up the front steps with a heavy heart and his head down.
"What am I going to do?" he asked himself quietly. The sky had shown bright with stars and Coruscant's three moons. Anakin looked up and stared at one star, it seemed to shine brighter than the others around it, Earth.
