As the ship landed the troopers quickly got into position with one bumping your shoulder; however you weren't sure if that was deliberate or if it was a mistake, deciding to be the bigger person and let it go you froze when the sounds of the blaster's reached your ears along with the metal clank of droids.
"Well do your thing" came the snide remark of the clone in blue and it took everything in you not to punch him in the face, reaching into your pockets you caught six miniature daggers in between your fingers before charging into battle headfirst. All the troopers looked at you like you were crazy and two of them even tried to grab you but you dodged their hands, "damn she's fast" one of the clones muttered as you continued onto the battlefield. The droids had a hard time shooting you because you were small, fast, and agile, by the time they had their blasters trained on you you were already gone and they wound up shooting another droid. You gracefully dodged blasts all the while giggling softly, "come on guys I'm not even trying, you know what here I'll stand still" you suddenly stopped abruptly and threw your hands in the air releasing your daggers to fall where they pleased. "You shouldn't have done that Jedi now you're finished" croaked one of the golden droids as he aimed his blaster at you, the troopers looked at you bewildered as did Obi-wan and Ahsoka but Anakin just smiled knowingly and pat them on the back. "Are you sure about that?"
You cooed as you clapped your wrist together setting off an electrical pulse that fried all of the droids in a five-mile radius, as the droids malfunctioned and short-circuited the one droid groaned "ah damn I've been alive for three hours and I'm already dying". You felt kinda bad for it even though it was literally trying to kill you just two seconds ago; so with one swift slice of your dagger, you claimed his head. "Hey, you're not going to torture me are you?" You scoffed, "first you don't have a body so no I can't torture you even if I wanted to second that's not really my style" you mumbled a smug smirk wiggled it's way onto your features as the trooper gawked at you momentarily. 'Who's the shiny now' you thought confidently, the daggers unsheathed themselves from the ground and flew back to you sliding into their designated spot in your forearm armor.
"That was awesome" the droid whispered from beneath your arm "why thank you," you said cheerfully glad someone appreciated you even if he was the enemy, you winked at the clones and disappeared into the tunnels leading to the base you were trying to take over. You could hear the onslaught outside as another wave of droids pressed towards your squadron and that alone made you move faster, as you raced down the halls your body swiftly became invisible as you switched to battle mode running on the balls of your feet to conceal as much sound as possible. Crouching low you bounced off the floor with the grace of a leaf fluttering in the wind before ricocheting off the wall and decapitating fifteen unsuspecting battle droids with a flick of your saber, you fell into a barrel roll and quickly jumped to your feet exiting the room before their heads even got a chance to hit the floor.
A smirk formed on your lips as you tore through wave after wave of battle droids with ease you hardly even broke a sweat, after tearing your saber from a sizzling spider droid you brushed your hands off and looked around. The room was dark and the only real light came from a few torches attached to the wall. This place gave you the shivers, you heard a muffled garbled sound from under you and lifted the decapitated head "stop making noise or I'll abandon you" you whisper spat to which he responded "that's not me", you were about to say something else when you heard it again the same garbled muffled noise but this time louder.
"See told ya it wasn't me" the droid head whispered as you gently set him down on the table trying to figure out where the noise was coming from, "keep watch will ya," you asked the head and he just made a slightly annoying sound "what else am I gonna do?" He hissed and you chuckled softly stepping out of the room and into a narrow hallway; it was almost completely pitch black as you slowly edged forward the air steadily becoming colder with each step, you could hear ragged breaths silent sobs, and pained groans from all around you but couldn't make out where they were coming from.
The walls around you were completely made out of some strange stone, you rubbed your arms at the frigid temperature and almost tripped down a flight of stairs due to the darkness, tapping your comlink you checked in with your squadron "Sensei come in?" you whispered there was static for a second before his charming voice rang through the depressing halls "yes [Y/N] did you clear the base?" You nodded for a moment before facepalming; he can't see you "yes the troopers are clear to move in but there's this weird basement in the back of the base I'm going to check out", you didn't wait for his reply and already began moving down the stairs when he radioed in "Just wait for reinforcements [Y/N] we'll be on our way" but you didn't feel like waiting.
So down the stairs, you went slowly placing each step carefully since you didn't know how far down the stairs went, as you descended it became increasingly colder and the muffled sobs groans and breaths were much clearer and you shivered when your foot landed in a warm puddle of black liquid. It took everything in you to swallow the scream building in your throat as you vigorously shook the mysterious liquid from your foot before stepping over the puddle and continuing forward, a distant roar paralyzed you as you fumbled around the wall for a light switch as you groped the wall for anything they eventually landed on a circular knob which you turned slightly. A blinding flash of white light engulfed the room and stabbed your eyes giving you a soft migraine and making you lose focus on your invisibility, after your eyes adjusted to the blinding light all the color drained from your skin as your eyes widened to the size of saucers. You were standing in a room of cages with nothing but wounded or dead clones in them.
The clones shied away from the light as you had done a minute ago and the sounds of labored breathing violent sobs and pained wails soon became a deafening symphony of sorrow, your entire body trembled viciously as your eyes slowly turned to the mystery liquid on your foot. was Blood. Yea that scream from before came back with a vengeance and even brought some friends, and you let it rip holding back nothing, the clones feebly blocked their ears from your high-pitched screech that echoed through the walls sounding like an angered banshee. That surprisingly made you feel better; you'd completely forgotten that your comlink was on Obi-wan and the troopers heard you, they called out to you but you became tone death as you stared at the poor soldiers, stripped naked and forced to lay on the cold hard floor in an already freezing room. The soldiers that weren't in the cages were sprawled across the ground covered in gashes, blisters, slashes, bruises you name it they had it. And they were also dead. But they died defiantly, their faces were scrunched up in determination and their eyes were hard as stone. One of the clones who'd seen you enter slowly reached a trembling arm out to you and latched onto your wrist, you screamed and turned around grabbing for your lightsaber until you met his brittle glass eyes.
"Help us" he whispered in a hoarse voice before slumping to the floor out of exhaustion, you caught his hand in your own and gave it a tight squeeze, "don't worry guys I-I'm going to get you guys out of here you're going to be okay" but even you heard the trembling in your voice and didn't really believe that. You quickly went to work ripping the cage doors down with the force and freeing the clones, the only problem was most of them were so badly injured that they needed assistance out of the cage and into the open.
There were ten healthy clones, fifteen seriously injured clones, and thirty dead clones but even the 'healthy' clones looked so ill you could almost see their ribs, they looked like they could be blown away by a gentle breeze. There was also the problem of twenty-five butt naked clones with no armor clothes or weapons, you chewed on your bottom lip before coming up with an idea that was so stupid it might just work, but lucky for you you'd never have to try it because just as you were about to do something desperately stupid you heard two familiar voices screaming at the top of their lungs "[Y/N]".
After Obi-Wan grilled you Anakin laughed at you and Ahsoka just pitied you you safely left the planet and were cooped up in the med bay with some of the injured troopers; the blue trooper and Cody were also there but they hadn't really spoken since they came across the troopers. Blue trooper finally took off his helmet and you were a bit surprised by how hot he was, he had tanned skin just like Cody but his hair was nearly atomic blonde and he had the prettiest golden eyes, his lips were pressed so tightly together they merged into one and his foot rapidly thumped the ground as he waited patiently.
The only people in the med bay were clones, yourself and Ahsoka; general skywalker and Obi-wan were in the cockpit discussing what they could've possibly been trying to drag out these clones, at the unconscious men you suddenly felt a wave of grief wash over you and your eyes locked with the blue trooper. He quickly looked away but you've grown accustomed to reading people in a short amount of time, and behind his eyes was nothing but pain and fury, of course, he was angry you'd be too if every day you rushed into battle fighting an endless war watching your brother's bodies drop one by one likes flies, it's enough to drive someone insane.
You got up and Ahsoka looked at you questioningly until she followed your gaze, walking over to the blue trooper you sat down in an empty seat next to him he was too busy staring at his brothers to notice you grabbing his fidgeting hand until your hand was completely interlocked with his own. He looked down at your hands and then at you but you weren't facing him even though you felt his eyes burning holes into the back of your head; you thought for sure he'd rip his hand away but allowed your hand to linger. Despite the tiny size of your hands, they were warm and comforting; come to think of it everything about you was small well...not all things, he gave your hands a little squeeze and cast a glance at your face.
He felt a twinge of pain deep in his heart at the site of your face streaked with dried tears twisted in concern and ultimately saddened, "I'm sorry for sassing you...earlier...and that you have to go through this" she squeaked in her bubbly voice. He sighed deeply and grumbled "yea well I shouldn't have underestimated you...you are actually pretty skilled on the battlefield..so I'll let this one slide" "really?" You whispered eyes sparkling like a child who's just achieved something great, he nodded and the smile that formed on your face was so bright and contagious that he felt a small barely noticeable smile grow on him too. "What's your name or would you prefer I call you blue" she quipped and he snorted "My name is Captain Rex"
