Chapter 5
~Tower Bomb~

~No one~

"Rex you need to contact Hawk and Dogma this building has a self destruct protocol in place, they need to get a ship up here so we can get out of here fast if I can't stop this."

Rex didn't hesitate as he lifted his arm to his helmet, ::Hawk, Dogma change of plans we need you to fly up here for an emergency pick up.::

Hawk responded ::Understood Sir on are way.::

As Hawk piloted the ship up to the top of the building were Rex and the others had made a hole in the wall so they could get out fast. Dogma was at the back of the ship to help them get in best he could, once Ahsoka heard the ship getting close she told everyone to get out of here without even looking up.

Echo was still trying to get a message through to their ship but was having no luck, as Ahsoka was typing frantically trying to at least slow down the self destruct because she could not stop it.

Everybody but Rex, Ahsoka and Echo where on the ship now. Rex was just about to get on the ship when Ahsoka pulled the download chip out, running away from the control panel force pushing Rex and the chip onto the ship. Along with pushing the ship away from the building as she jumped and landed on Echo, who hoped he managed to get a signal out.

As she landed on him the computer said, "Goodbye General Skywalker" then the base of the building blew. Ahsoka tried making a force bubble around them, as Echo rapped his arms around her trying to protect her as they both started to fall with the building.

Hawk who wasn't ready for the sudden jolt from the push or explosion, was trying to get control of the ship again. When Hawk leveled out the ship and they were steady, Rex stood up as he watched the building fall yelling out. "ECHO, COMMANDER." Rex ordered Hawk to take them down. "Hawk take this ship down, the Commander and Echo were still in the building when it went down."

~Echo POV~

Echo was the first to open his eyes, his whole body hurt and it was hard to breath with all this dust. *Why is my helmet not working then realizing he wasn't wearing one, wait where is my helmet?*

He tried getting up but soon realized he couldn't move he looked at what was preventing him movement and saw his leg was stuck and when he moved it he was in severe pain, he continued to look around when he saw a small togruta girl who wasn't moving then he remembered.

~flashback~

After the explosion we started to fall, as I held on to the commander she tried protecting us with a force bubble. She looked like she was having a hard time when things kept slipping through, and hitting us. We were almost at the bottom when something hit her arm, as she held her arm we lost the force bubble, we slammed into some rubble. I tried holding on to her but when we hit the second wall of rubble I lost my grip on her, and we fell apart then it all went black.

~Echo POV~

"Commander" He coughed out "Commander can you hear me," all he got was a small mone in response, he let out a sighed so relieved that she was alive, but they needed to get out of here. He looked at his com link but it would be useless it wasn't going to work it had been crushed from the fall, but then he heard Ahsoka's com link go off.

::Com… mman… der can… you… he… re me, I… can't… Echo… you… oka…::

I tried reaching for the Commander's com link but my leg wasn't going to budge, I needed her to be just a little closer, I cleared my throat.

"Commander if you can, if you can hear me I need you." [coughs] "To move your arm towards me." [coughs] "So I can tell the Captain where we are."

"Rex," I heard her voice that was nothing more than a whisper.

"Yes Rex, I just need your." [coughs] "Arm closer, so I can use your com link."

I didn't get a responds maybe she passed out I thought, just then her arm started moving ever so slowly towards me. I leaned reaching towards her, so she wouldn't have to move anymore than needed I grabbed her wrist gently. "Alright you can stop moving I can reach you." I pulled her com link off and tried getting a hold of the others.

::Captain?:: [coughs] ::Captain can you hear me?::

I heard Rex's voice come over the com ::Ech… cho ar… you and… comm… nder alrigh…::[coughing]::No my leg is stuck and the rubble," [coughs] "the rubble above the commander is ready to fall any moment and I can't move to help her," [coughs] "its also getting hard to breathe.::

::Don… worry Echo… are on… way.::

Echo let out a sigh or relive when he heard the comlink going off again.

::Echo?:: Kix voice came over the com

::Kix?::

::Yes… it's me can… tell me the situati…, tell me… your leg loo… an… the command…::

::I can't see my leg it's in a hole with rubble over it, I'll be fine once you guys get us out of here but the commander doesn't look too good.::

::Is sh… con… scious, is ther… bleeding how… is it?::

I looked towards the commander ::I don't see any bleeding, but she is somewhat conscious it comes and goes::

::Ok… cho this is… important if y… don't see any bloo… might have inter… bleeding, I ne… you to… the comm… der…alking try not… let her… unconsc… again?::

::Understood Kix::

~Rex POV~

Everyone was moving boulders as Kix talked with Echo once he was done he joined us. We used the ship to move some of the bigger boulders, we had been doing this for what felt like hours. We hadn't herd anything from Echo in a while, so Kix walked away from the site so that he could talk to Echo and could hear if he answered.

Hawk held up his hand, "Wait be quiet did you hear that?"

Everyone stopped moving as Kix looked back at us

Hawk looked at Kix. "Kix say something into the com link again."

Kix held up his arm, ::Echo are you there can you hear me?::

I heard the com go off and Kix's voice. "Over here men, it's coming from over here." I pulled some rubble away, and saw Echo laying on the ground. "Echo, Echo can you hear me?"

Echo opened his eyes and looked at me. "Yes sir captain, I can hear you." he coughed with a small smile.

"We're coming just hang on."

We pulled just enough rubble away so that we could fit through, Fives and Kix came in with me. Echo pointed to the commander, Kix went to the commander well Fives and I helped Echo out. Once we got him unstuck he cried out in pain and we saw that his leg was broken, we helped him to the entrance and handed him over to Hawk who pulled him out.
