The droid looked at Anakin and Ahsoka, seeing the lightsabers it took a battle stance "Dakara... Anata wa Neo Arcadia de hataraite imasu"

Anakin blinked 'what?' "what the heck are you saying?" Anakin asked out of frustration

One of the clones already impatient aimed his rifle and shot. Rex seeing this hit the weapon out of the trooper's hands "no you fool!" But the shot was already flying to the droid

Then, the droid moved faster than anyone could anticipated and was already behind Anakin and Ahsoka. Seeing this, both Jedis turned around to strike or defend when they saw the door opening and the droid already fleeing.

Widening his eyes Anakin grabbed his communicator and screamed "SOUND THE ALARM!!!"

The entire base went on high alert and most doors were shut off.

Pissed Anakin turned to the clones and looked directly to the one that shot "what the hell was that? Why did you shoot and who left the blast doors open?!?"

Rex feeling his general's anger stepped forward before Ahsoka spoke

"I left the blast doors open. I thought it wouldn't be so fast and that we would be able to contain it here" Ahsoka said guilty

Anakin was still angry, but seeing the sincerity in his padawan's eyes, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Alright... let's go after it, there's no way it can exit the base, not with all the clones in high alert." Running out of the room Anakin glanced at Rex and nodded, a signal the captain understood

"Alright men you heard him, let's move!" Rex said before running out of the room and going in a different direction than that of the Jedi

With the "droid"

'kore ha dono basyo desu ka ?' the red warrior thought as he ran through the corridor of the strange place he woke up at

Soon he was at an intersection, but he didn't know which direction he should take, if he took the wrong turn, those white armoured soldiers and the other two would catch him, but which way?

This way A voice said

Turning toward the left corridor, the red warrior couldn't see anyone but could feel something, something calling him that way. Not wasting any time, he dashed and soon enough he was in front of a shuttle door, much like those where he fought his enemies' commanders. This door didn't open just because he was approaching, obviously because of the alarm, but he wasn't going to wait for it to open.

"There!"

One of the Clones yelled and ran ahead, following behind Ahsoka turn at the intersection to find the red droid in front of the door which lead to outside the base, fortunately it was shut

"Master, we found it" Ahsoka said through her communicator

/Keep it busy until I get there and don't do anything stupid/ Anakin said through the communicator

"HAH" Crush Bruunn

Hearing the explosion Ahsoka looked up "hum… master… I think you might wanna go fast"

"Why? What happened?" Anakin asked just coming through the corridor before looking ahead with the others.

"What did that droid do?" Rex asked seeing the shuttle door destroyed and the droid already outside

"There's no time for that. It's escaping, hurry!" Anakin said already running after it

"Shikashi... Kono basho wa nanidesu ka?" the red warrior thought as he saw the strange skyscrapers and constructions around him "Koko ni... Soreha... Chikyūde wa arimasen?"

Feeling someone approaching him with murderous intention, the red warrior spun around his trusted weapon already ignited parring an attack from the human on black attire.

"dare no tame ni hatarai te iru nodesu ka ?" The red warrior asked

"For the love of- speak a language I can understand!" Anakin said exasperated with not understand what this droid was saying

The red warrior frowned, why was he speaking that way? What kind of language was that? It was a little like english but way he spoke was wrong and off

Grunting in effort the red warrior pushed back the human and an idea formed in his head, perhaps if he heard enough words he could start translating this dialect of his and communicate even if rudimentary

"kore ha ikutu ka no Neo Arcadia purozyekuto desu ka? wakusei no kiso? sore to mo subete subarasii nisemono desu ka?"

"What language is even that?" Anakin asked frustrated and already loosing his patience attacked agai only for the red warrior to block his attack, get behind him and send a kick on his back, making the Jedi Knight to topple forward

"Master!" Ahsoka said after seeing her master fall and jumped in front of the red warrior, thinking it was about to strike, but to her surprise he only looked at her before frowning and tilting his head a little like he was confused

"anata ha nani desu ka?" The red warrior asked Ahsoka, despite her not understanding what he said "anata ha ningen dehanai youdesu… sikasi sore ha sou daro u…" then an thought hit him "anata ha ... eirian desu ka ?"

Ahsoka was completely confused about this droid, what was it even saying? Was it even- wait "what did you just said? Did you call me an 'alien'?" Ahsoka was offended, to be called 'alien' was a low blow

The red warrior saw that the strange girl understood one word he said, alien, alone it meant nothing, but now he knew what language she might speak. Looking every bit and data on his systems the red warrior looked for the one language that could perhaps help him out in this situation. There! This might be one.

"Now listen here you pile of scrap metal, you think you can insult me with such a low blow and get away with it? I'll show you-"

"A..po..logie"

"!, What?" Ahsoka asked confused, did the droid just-

"A..po..logie" it repeated

Ahsoka finally understood what the droid was saying! This is great! She immediately turned her back to the droid and looked at her master, who had raised a few moments ago "master, it finally spoke something that makes sense!"

"Ahsoka get down!" Anakin yelled as he pulled her towards him and raised his lightsaber to block the droid

Only to find that it didn't move in anyway, just stood there with one of its eyebrow raised

"What... you… do..ing?"

'By the Force' "it talked?!?" Anakin asked in surprise. That surprised even the clones around them.

"Master, that's what I was going to tell, it finally spoke in something that sounds like an actual language! This droid is learning!"

Anakin eyes went wide, the droid was learning? That was a first, never before he saw a droid that needed to learn a language by hearing it instead of it just being there in its memory banks.

The red warrior approached Anakin, it lightsaber off, looking closely, the human was… different, as in everything about him spoke that he was not from his world and there was something else off about him… like… a cold… shadow… covering a burning rage… ' Frowning, the red warrior stepped back and looked at the strange girl.

"Name…"

"What?" Ahsoka asked

The red warrior pointed at her "name…?"

She blinked confused 'it is asking my name?' the young padawan looked at her master, who was just as confused as her

'Kanojo wa watashi o shinrai shite imasen... Watashi ga iru basho o kangaeru to, tōzen no kotonagara, monogoto wa hijō ni kotonaru kanōsei ga arimasu' the red warrior thought.

It would take him some time to get back home, but how long he didn't know, he just hoped that he could make it in time.

Trrrrrrnnnn

Someone just contacted him? But how, unless- he raised his hand to his helmet and press it his communicator button

/Tasuke ga hitsuyō *static* kurik *static* asu tasuke ga hitsuyōdesu. Dare ka kikoemasu ka?/

He knew that voice, it was Jaune!

"Jaune, kikoemasu ka? Doko ni imasu ka?" He asked

/Zero? Anatana no? Nante sutekina nda!/ Jaune said happily

"Nani ga okoru nodesu ka? Doko ni imasu ka?"

/Wakaranai, kono kimyōna hikari ga teikō kichi ni modotta toki -/ a explosion was heard from the other side of the transmission

"Jaune?" Zero called, only receiving static, when

/Watashi wa daijōbudesuga, watashi to hokanohito wa kotei sa rete imasu! Korera no kimyōna shiroi sōkō heishi ga watashitachi o utte imasu!/

Then another voice came through, like someone took Jaune communicator

/Zero, Tasukete!/ That was Alouette and she was scared

"Tochūdesu!" Zero answered without thinking "Jaune, Anata no zahyō o okutte kudasai!"

/Hai!/

Soon their coordinates appeared on Zero's internal map program, they were here, on this place!

"Misshonsutāto!" Zero said and dashed towards them

"Wait!" Anakin yelled but it was already too late, the droid was already far away.

Anakin didn't understood what just happened, one second ago the droid was trying to communicate with them when suddenly it held the side of its helmet and started talking like it had some in-built communicator device and then it just ran away at a random direction

"Sir, we have it on target!" One of the clones at the heavy artillery cannons said "what's your orders sir?"

"Hold your fire!" Ahsoka said quickly before Anakin could say anything

"Snips, what are you doing?" Anakin asked irritated

"Master, haven't you felt it?" Ahsoka asked with a look of guilty

Anakin blinked before he opened his senses to the Force again, which he didn't realize were closed, and there it was a feeling of people in distress, in the same direction the droid was going

"Good work snips" Anakin then turned to Rex "Rex get some of your men and a few speeder bikes, we're following that droid, but DON'T SHOOT!" Anakin said the last part with a glare to the few clones with them

Rex saluted his general before going ahead to get the soldiers ready and grab some speeder bikes

Anakin sighed, this day was getting stranger and stranger by the minute
