Chapter7

Rex sat in his office waiting, waiting for the files to download. He had just watched Ahsoka destroy a whole planet out of spite, this had strengthened his commitment to helping the rebellion, he had helped Hera's rebel cell but was to late so save them, he was too late to realise the evil he had helped unleash on the galaxy, he hadn't been able to help Onderon, but he was going to make sure he helped the freighter crew escape and help get Lux out hopefully they would take him with them. His computer beeped to let him know the files had been downloaded. He then changed into his clone armour he had kept it and always wore it when he was in action, now he was going to wear it to help the rebellion.

Once he was ready he left, he had the privilege of knowing what was going on. So he knew that Lux was being moved to a different cell, it was a trap. After a few minutes Rex found the Senator and his two guards, the guards stood to attention.

"I'm here to take over the prisoner. I have been ordered to escort him the rest of the way" Rex said his tone commanding.

"General I wasn't notified of this. I'll have to check Sir, its regulation" One of the guards said as he reached for his com.

"Oh well so much for the easy way" Rex said as he drew his blasters and shot both Stormtroopers he had been so quick the Stormtroopers hadn't even been able to hit their coms.

Lux was stunned did he just watch an imperial General gun don his own men to help him. He didn't say anything until he felt Rex undo his cuffs "Thank you" he said as he picked up one of the fallen troopers blasters "Who are you?" he asked

"How are mother Chan's prized plums?" Rex asked.

Lux remembered the security question and it clicked "They're getting on just fine for the month" he relied "You were Hera's contact in the empire. Who are you?" Lux said

"My name is Rex former captain of the 501st legion, now high general of the imperial army. Soon to be ex-general" Rex replied.

"I appreciate the help but how are we going to get off this station?" Lux asked as the pair started to walk slowly through the death star

"There was a freighter that was captured a few minutes ago, we're going to help the crew escape and we're going with them" Rex said before stopping and attacking a passing clone Stormtrooper he beat him unconscious.


Anakin, Han, Chewie and Luke headed for the detention chamber they had found out that senator Lux Bonteri was on the death star. Han was reluctant to help even after he was told that he was the one who sent the message asking for help. It was only when Luke mentioned how rich he was, did Han agree to rescue him. It was then that the group formed a plan; Luke, Han, Mani and Chewie would get the senator, while Obi-wan shut down the reactor and R2 and C3PO monitored them.

So here Luke was wearing stolen Stormtrooper armour with Han, while Mani wore an imperial officer's uniform, trying to fob off a story about a prison transfer. The moment it looked like it was going south, Han and Chewie sprang into action gunning down the detention crew. Once the crew were taken care of Luke headed off to the cells Anakin behind him. They found Lux's cell and Luke was about to open it when Anakin stopped him. "Mani, What?" Luke asked

"I sense more than one life form in there" Anakin said as he ignited his lightsaber and used the force to open the door, he was right the room was full of Stormtrooper Luke opened fire. While Anakin jumped in and cut them down. As they did this Stormtroopers poured out of the lifts and opened fire Han and Chewie fired back falling back to the cells.

"It's a Trap" Luke said

"No Kid. Really?!" Han replied sarcastically "These guys are a lot tougher than the standard Stormtroopers" He added.

"That's because they are clones" Anakin replied as he deflected several shots "Ah we're cornered" he said. Just then Luke com started beeping.

=^= TK117, report=^= the voice said through the com. Luke looked at Anakin and Anakin nodded.

=^= This is TK117, we have the prisoners corned they will be dealt with shortly=^= Luke replied making his voice sound lower.

=^= Nice try but you're wearing TK421's armour=^= Luke cursed under his breath and Anakin did the same =^= Do not worry I am senator Lux Bonteri I have been rescued by a friend, you must get out of there, imperial reinforcements are pouring in from all areas. There should be a vent leading down to the garbage crusher get down it and ask your droids to open the door on the garbage crusher. Then head for the hanger=^=.

Luke wasn't sure if he could trust the voice but of it was who it claimed to be then they had to go for it. =^= You got it=^= He replied before blasting the vent that was right next to Han causing Han to yell at Luke but soon enough the whole group had jumped down. They all ended up in the middle of a garbage crusher just as the voice said, Han tried blasting the door but it just ricocheted around the room.

"I'll get the door open" Anakin said as he started to cut through it with his lightsaber. As he was doing this the walls started to move. The rest of the group tried bracing the walls but it was no good nothing seemed to be working. Luke hit his com "R2 shut down all the garbage basher on the detention level" he ordered after many minute of tense silence as the walls got closer they stopped and pulled back. By this time Anakin had just finished cutting his way through the door.

They had survived the detention level now all they had to do was link up with the senator and his friend and then Link up with Obi-wan and then they had to get away from the death star. It was certainly going to be a challenge but something told Luke they would make it.


Ahsoka stood in the command centre her anger rising she had thought her plan was fool proof but somehow her intended victims had escaped. However she now knew that Anakin was on the station and she was willing to bet Obi-wan was to. She was looking forward to killing them but she couldn't be everywhere at once. Ahsoka was pulled from her thoughts by Sabine "Ma'am. Senator Bonteri never made it to his new cell and his two guards have been found dead, Killed by blaster fire" Sabine reported "We have a traitor" she added.

Ahsoka nodded "Lieutenant find the traitor and the senator and kill them." She ordered. Sabine nodded and left.

"Leia I want you to go to the hanger and stop anyone getting to that freighter. If you run into a Jedi it will most likely be Anakin Skywalker, kill him and bring the boy to me. You may reveal yourself to him but try to avoid telling the boy. I will head for the power terminals if they want to leave they would have to cut the power to one of them" Ahsoka said this would be a test for Leia, even if Anakin were to escape Ahsoka would know her Apprentices loyalties. Ahsoka and Leia left to go about their assigned tasks, today one Jedi would be lost and a truth would be known.
