CHAPTER TWO
My first day of training did not go well. I was jeered at and teased and shoved
around. But then, at dinner, a boy in my group, called CT-5/654, came up to me. "All
newcomers get teased, you know." He said.
"Yeah?" I said. "Yeah." he replied.
"My name's Charles." I said. "What's yours?"
"T-Bone." He said in reply. "What's your real name?"
"CT-5/654." He said. "You mean you guys don't have real names?" He shook his head.
T-Bone and I became the best of friends. And within a few weeks, I had other new
friends. On my third day of training, I recieved my first training blaster. Then CT-5/001
asked me to display my talent of his best student, CT-5/542. So, I did as he requested. I
started out in a defensive position, light on my feet. 542 seemed really agressive. He
fired barely missing my head. I did a tuck-roll and knocked him over. While he was getting
up, I fired two shots. One on his neck, and one on his leg. 001 told me to stop. So I did.
"Amazing display of talent!" 001 said. "785, I like you. Not only are you strong,
determined, agile, and extremely talented with a blaster rifle, but you are obedient."
He then said I was his best student, replacing 542. "Nobody beats me." Said 542,
with a shove. "Nobody."
T-Bone walked back to my dorm-room with me. "Wow! You beat SuperHuman!" He said.
"SuperHuman?" I asked. "That's his nickname. We all think he got extra strength or
something."
In four years, something very strange happened. A Jedi called Obi-Wan Kenobi visited
late at night. It was after hours, and we were supposed to be asleep. But, everyone has
to bend the rules sometimes. We sneaked along the wall. He went into a well lighted room.
We heard talk about a Republic Army. Then he left, guided by Taun We. We knew excactly
where they were going. Jango Fett's room. We heard them talk about Coruscaunt and once
again and army.
"Why do you think they're talking about a Republic Army?" T-Bone asked. "You know what I
think?" "What?" "I think we are that army."
*****************************************************************************************
Luckily, we weren't caught for eavesdropping. In a week we recieved our full armor
and an upgraded blaster rifle. We were finally real soldiers. The next week, a short green
creature with long ears came to the Academy. We were all loaded onto Republic Gunships. The
pilot, an older Trooper said our destination was Geonosis and we were to fight for with the
Jedi. The Jedi! The I realized why Obi-Wan Kenobi payed us a visit. We were about to fight
side-by-side with the Jedi! It was every kids dream. Even if I wasn't a Jedi, I was still
going to be in side-by-side combat with them. We arrived on Geonosis and the CT-5 and CT-6
squadrons were loaded first onto two AT-TEs. Then we slowly went onwards. We arrived at the
arena the next day.
"Prepare to enter combat." The computer speaker said. Then, we saw six Republic Gunships fly
overhead. We entered the arena and T-Bone climbed up the hatch and took control of a laser
cannon. "Prepare to be Imployed."
I left the AT-TE and gave a brief salute to T-Bone. The last time I would ever see
him. I started firing immediately. I blew the arms off a droid and kicked another. Then huge
metallic spider droids came out and blasted people with their laser rays. "Fire at the
Spider Droids!" The commando said.
We all directed our fire on the Spider Droids and most of them were demolished.
Then, a laser ray hit the AT-TE I got off of. "T-Bone!" I cried. Then i was knocked
senseless and I didn't remember anymore of that battle.
I awoke in a bacta bath. "Where am I?" I asked.
A young Jedi with short hair and his master, who I recongnised as Obi-Wan Kenobi were in the
room with me. "You are on a Republic Gunship with the CT-3 and CT-4 squadrons." Obi-Wan
said.
"But-but- I'm in the CT-5 squadron!" I said. "Not anymore. The few soldiers of the CT-5 and
6 squadrons were transferred to CT-4. Your helmet number has been changed."
"Where is this thing headed?" I asked. "I can answer that." the younger Jedi said. "Raxus
Prime. We have located an underground Seperatist base there. Are you prepared for the
stench?" "My helmet has air-filters." "Consider that a good thing. We're about to land. Go
join your fellow squadmates. "Sir yes sir." I said.
I joined my squadmates and we landed. I went with seven other soldiers, CT-4/619
being the leader. We moved in and found a boy. An orphan. 619 asked his age and name. He
replied saying his name was Teff and he was ten years old. Under guidelines. The kid picked
up a blaster and started to help us destroy the battle droids. He shot like the other
clones. He looked like the younger clones. There was something very peculiar about this boy.
We were taking heavy fire and six of us were down. Which left only myself, Teff and
619. Then a female Bothan Jedi came up to us and helped us destroy the rest of the droids.
Then we led the orphan onto a Gunship. Then we boarded the Candaserri. Not much happened on
the Candaserri. When we reached Cloud City, we dropped the orphans off and we moved on to
the Kashyyk moon. The Jedi said that Count Dooku had found some sort of device called The
Force Harvester..........
