A/N: Alright here's another chapter. Also I don't anything of Star Wars, Disney does. I simply own my OC's. Please read and review.

"Captain Rex." Anakin said as he stared at the hologram of the clone captain. He was pretty sure none of them had expected him to make contact first.

"Generals. Senator." He quickly added the last part when he saw Padmè standing amongst them. "I don't have much time, a local has managed to engineer a way to make the comms work but only for six minutes. Long story short the damage on the ship meant we would have been stranded to begin with, but we found an uncharted planet. A storm in the upper atmosphere fried the sublight engines and we crashed. I think I can send you our coordinates without frying the comm system?" He then turned around and looked behind him before addressing someone that they couldn't see. "What do you think?"

Anakin was surprised to hear an accented voice reply to Rex's question.

"Don't look at me! I don't know much about engineering, that's Sierra's thing. Not mine."

"Rex? Who was that?" He asked his Captain, curious as to he had helped his men.

"One of the locals sir. She and her friend has been lending us a hand."

Anakin heard the other voice reply to Rex's answer. "By local he means he crashed on my property. Hey Sierra!"

"What?!" He heard a voice call back from apparently deeper in the ship but a clear accent similar to Obi Wan's.

"Do you think it could handle sending coordinates?"

"Yes, as long as they aren't trying to send actual data files." He heard the second voice huff back.

"Alright, I'm sending you our coordinates now." Rex said as he pushed a few buttons on the console. "How much time do we have left?"

"Not much. Only two minutes." Came the response from Coric who had been silent til now, keeping track of the time.

Anakin glances at Obi-Wan as Cody came into view. "Generals, the situation here should be meet with caution. I don't know how the people of this planet will react to a spaceship coming to land here. We should be careful."

Obi-Wan crossed his arms and stroked his beard before responding. "We could take the Resolute but leave her out of sight and use a transport to approach the planet. Once down we will retrieve you and the supplies."

The hologram started to flicker before they heard Coric shout out "Time's up!" The hologram then disappeared leaving the Jedi once again with no way to contact them.

"Well that will make things a lot more difficult. Though I wonder who the other two were." Obi-Wan stated as he crossed his arms and stroked his beard.

"Well we know one of them is the land owner of where they crashed but the other? That's a different story." Anakin replied. "We should get going, we don't know how long this will take."

Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Padme all turned and began to make their way to the Resolute. For Padme this would be a learning experience. She had never been on a GAR warship. After the battle of Geonosis she and Anakin took her small Naboo yacht back to Coruscant before heading to Naboo to marry in secret.

"What do you think the planet will be like? I mean they have to have technology similar to ours if they were able to get a signal out right?" Ahsoka asked out loud.

"I would assume so Snips. It makes sense but maybe they haven't perfected space travel yet. Otherwise we wouldn't be going to get them." Anakin responded thoughtfully.

"Well hopefully it'll be peaceful and we won't have to have aggressive negotiations." Padme told them, looking at Anakin as she said the last part with a smile.

"Aggressive negotiations?" Ahsoka asked.

"Negotiations with a lightsaber." Replied Padme and Anakin at the same time.

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes at them and kept walking towards the Twilight sitting in the temple hanger. They followed him up the ramp and Anakin quickly began the takeoff sequence.

They speed out of the Jedi Temple and headed up to where the Resolute was waiting for them just outside of the fleet in orbit.

Anakin piloted the Twilight into the main hanger bay. Once they landed the three Jedi headed up to the bridge with Padme right on their heels.

Yularen turned around when he heard the doors open and greeted the Generals with a nod. He watched as General Skywalker headed over towards where the Navi computer was and immediately set about putting in new coordinates into it.

"Let's get underway Admiral." Anakin said with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"At once General. Make the jump to hyperspace." As soon as those words left his mouth they all braced as the star out side the transparisteel streaked together as they ship lurched into hyperspace.

"How long do we have before we arrive Admiral?" Obi-Wan asked Yularen.

"Just under 48 hours General Kenobi."

"Well once we exit hyperspace try to contact them immediately." Yularen only nodded in response.

Rex sighed as the hologram faded out. He turned to face his brothers. Coric turned to look at him from where he had been looking in Sierra's direction. Cody was standing in between him, Coric and Skye.

Cody looked at both of them before speaking. "We are on our own until they get close enough to make contact. For now let's salvage what we can from here."

Rex nodded back and Coric snapped a salute before heading off towards the medical supplies.

Just as Coric began to walk off he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw that it was Skye who had stopped him. He shot her a questioning look.

Skye decided to take a page from Sierra's book and listen to her instincts. Something inside her nudged her to ask Coric about medical training. To ask him to help Sierra. She couldn't explain it but she listened to the feeling. After all Sierra talked about feelings like this all the time and if they never failed Sierra, why would they fail her? "Coric right, do you have medical training?"

"Yes." He said with a nod before continuing. "I'm a medic for the 501st."

"I know it's a bit of a long shot, but maybe you could convince Sierra to let you take a look at her? And teach me more?" Skye bit her lip as she awaited his answer.

"Yes I'll help both of you." He said with a smile. Though he did wonder how he was supposed to convince her to let him do a checkup if she was wary of them. He could tell she was fighting with herself though. A couple times he was pretty sure that she had started to reach towards them before changing her mind. Almost like she forced herself to change her mind. He had only one thought about that. Odd.

Sierra made her way back towards them, keeping a hand on her wound. Coric was headed her way lost in thought while Cody was near a rack that had blasters scattered across the floor. He was grabbing a few of the salvageable ones to take with them. Rex was just outside the ship keeping watch. Skye was only a couple feet away from Coric and was watching them. All of Sierra's thoughts immediately shut down as she realized that she knew where everyone was without seeing them.

There's no way. No way at all that I'm force sensitive. She thought before a very real and uncertain thought entered her mind. Right? She had read about theories involving people being Force Sensitive but not knowing until later when the force awakened in them. Just better instincts and reflexes.

But what if I am?

She but the bottom of her lip as the thought crossed her mind. She would have to think on the implications of that later. For now she needed someone to check on her wound, it was now a painful throb. She placed a hand over it and could feel the heat radiating from it underneath the bandages. She needed help and fast. But Skye only knew so much which left her with no choice but to go to Coric for help. He is a medic after all.

She came out of the hall way and back to where the communication console was located. Waiting for her there were the others except Coric who was taking stock of medical supplies that survived the crash.

She watched as he heaved a sigh as he took inventory of the supplies. He then turned to Cody and motioned that he was done. The Clone Commander grabbed a crate and took it towards the car. That's when she made her move.

"Coric?" She asked while trying to keep the nervousness out of her voice. It wasn't that disliked them but more of she didn't know how to approach them. They were her heroes. She knew her opinions didn't matter to anyone outside of Skylar. Her adoptive father made that crystal clear, usually along with a few bruises to go with it. She knew that to others her health was not important. But this was something that was beyond Skylar's limited medical knowledge.

Sierra was lost as what to do. So she did the one thing that never lead her astray. She took a breath and listened. Listened to her instincts. Her instincts were screaming at her to trust them while every fiber of her was saying not to based on past experiences.

Coric looked up when he heard his name be called by her accented voice. He found himself staring into turquoise eyes that seemed luminescent to him. He could see the conflict in them rage til it subsided with newfound trust towards him. He wasn't sure what brought this but he'd be damned if he was going to betray that trust.

"Sierra?" He watched as she gave a nod in response. "What can I help you with?" He asked her gently in a soothing tone.

She began to fidget as she spoke. "Could you take a look at this wound I have when we get back to the house? I'm pretty sure that it might be infected. I would ask Skye but I know that this is beyond her expertise and you're a medic. One that I can trust." She bit the bottom of her lip as she awaited his answer.

"Yes Sierra, I'll be glad to help you." He told her with a friendly and reassuring smile. He wasn't sure what brought about this trust in him but he'd be damned if he was going to betray it. He grabbed the last crate and carted it off to the car.

Sierra though took one last look at the ship and saw something laying under the consoles. She made her over to see what it was. She reached down and pulled it out.

It was a blaster, a DC 15A! She pulled it out from under the ruined console and carried it off with her as she headed back to the car. She made her way back to the car and climbed in the front with the blaster rifle still in her hands.

Skye raised an eyebrow at the blaster as she climbed into the car. Cody has noticed it as he approached the car and go it the car followed by Rex.

"Where'd you find that?" Cody asked her with clear surprise in his voice.

"I found it under the one of the ruined consoles. I can give it back to you." Sierra said quickly.

"Don't worry about that. We might not have money to give for helping us but that blaster should probably be looked at." He glanced at Rex and could see the gears turning in his mind as they made brief eye contact. They would have to talk about it but he thinks that they should have it to defend themselves with. He knows it would make him feel better knowing it was there if they needed it.

Sierra only gave a quiet "okay" in response.

The ride back was filled by the radio in the car. Once they got back to the house Cody and Rex pulled the crates out of the back of Skye's car and set them down nearby.

They watched as Coric grabbed a scanner, med kit along with whatever else he might need. They both shared a concerned glance. Why would Coric do that if none of them were injured?

Coric walked into the house and found Sierra sitting on the couch fidgeting as she watched him approach. He held up the scanner and gave her a quick explanation as he set about checking her over. He frowned as he located what looked like a stab wound of some sort on her abdomen on the scanner. His eyes widened as he read over it.

He snapped his head back towards her as he spoke slowly and reassuringly. "Will you let me take a look at the wound? I might have to clean it or touch it but I won't do anything other than that."

Not trusting her voice she only gave him a quick nod. She pulled up her shirt to reveal a bandaged wound. It had obviously been re-bandaged recently.

With steady hand Coric removed the bandage and sucked in a sharp breath. The wound was definitely infected. It had swelled up and was hot to the touch. He quickly set about cleaning the wound as gently as he could. Other than the faint whine from Sierra every now and then she didn't really make any sounds. Once he was finished he applied a bacta patch to it. "All right, that should do it." He said as he packed up the med kit.

He turned back around to face Sierra who was just beginning to lower her shirt back down when Rex and Cody walked into the room. They both stopped where they were standing when they saw the bacta patch on her abdomen.

"What happened?" Rex asked immediately as his and Cody's eyes hardened.

Coric looked up at them and simply shook his head. He didn't know what had happened and he wouldn't pry either. He then went back into his med kit and swore when he realized that he was out of boosters. He just had to hope that she wouldn't come down with a fever.

They watched as she got up and went over to the garage where Skye was.

Rex looked out the window and saw that sun was setting rapidly. He watched a the sunset as he heard footsteps coming up from behind him.

He turned to see Skylar joining him. "It's a beautiful sunset tonight, isn't?" She asked him.

He looked back out the window.

The sky was painted in purple, fiery orange with red and yellow spread out in the tops of the trees. Rex had never seen anything so beautiful in the sky before. He just nodded his head lost for words.

Skye smoked softly. "I guess you guys don't get much time of chances to admire things like this, do you?"

"No we don't. Normally we either fighting, or in my case doing paperwork. The others are normally in the mess hall or the barracks." He responded while still gazing at the sky.

"Well I'll leave you to enjoy the view. I'll order us some dinner and have it delivered." And the Skye turned around and left to go find out where Sierra had gone.

Rex heard Coric and Cody join him at looking at the sunset. For how long they watched it he couldn't say, but now the color of the sky was turning dark with stars beginning to come out.

They decided to head back towards the kitchen of the house when they could hear an argument going on in the kitchen. They looked at each other as they approached. The words becoming clear. They first could hear Sierra's passionate voice clearly followed by Skye's voice in response to her.

"They shouldn't go back at all! They should stay here!"

"Sierra! Their so called Republic is already on its way to pick them up. Besides they need to go back, what if OUR government finds out they are here? They'll probably do all sorts of testing and their technology isn't safe here. In the wrong hands it could be devastating!"

"So what?! So they can go back to being slaves?"

They all looked at each other with the same thought running through their minds. Slaves?

"What do you mean by slaves?"

"Rather self explanatory really."

"Sierra."

"They don't have a choice but to fight! Did you ever think to see how the Republic or Kamino treats them? If they are considered defective they are killed, seen as nothing more than faulty merchandise. Merchandise of the Republic, born to fight and die. They are more than that and deserve so much better! They are people too. Not clones, not numbers. Individuals. They are individuals. They may all share a face but every single one of them is different."

They stopped listening after that and walked off to the living room where they sat down together to think. To them it seemed that Sierra knew a lot more than she was letting on about them and where they came from. They wondered what else did she know. But they did know that Sierra would fight for them.

It didn't take long for dinner to arrive and the clones weren't expecting Sierra to ask what she did.

"What?" Rex asked as he glanced at the others.

"What was the last major battle?" Sierra repeated.

They weren't entirely sure why she wanted to know that or why she was asking. Rex glanced at Cody who gave him a slight nod. "We recently engaged the Separatist's on Christophsis before fighting them on Teth to Rescue Jabba's son."

"Ahh ok." Was the only response they got before she started writing in a small note pad she had with her at the table.

"It's supposed to snow tonight so I think tomorrow we'll take them shopping for clothes here." Skye said aloud while giving Sierra a pointed look.

"Ok, ok I'm done. I promise."

"Good now off to bed, all of you. That means you too Sierra. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day." Skye told them and she shooed Sierra out of the room.

They got up and made their way to the bedrooms as Skye turned everything off before joining Sierra in their shared room.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sierra made her way up the stairs and into their room. Once in there she got undressed and headed into the bathroom, taking her night clothes with her. By the time she had finished her shower and getting ready for bed Skye had come up and was waiting for her turn to use the shower.

When Skye exited the bathroom Sierra was sitting up in a bed with a sketchbook in her hands. Skye shook her head and softly walked over to the bed. She gently pulled it out of her hands. "Go to sleep Sierra." She said softly.

She then pulled back the covers in crawled into the bed herself. She turned to turn off the lamp before drifting off to sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Skye woke the next morning and felt another body pressed up close to hers. Turning to look she saw Sierra's relaxed face as she breathed deeply, still sleeping. She toke this moment to admire the normally observant girl. Her dirty blonde hair draped over the side of her face as she laid there. She found herself gently pushing Sierra's hair out of her face. She just simply watched her sleep for a few seconds before shifting to get out of bed. But not before gently placing a kiss in Sierra's cheek. She hoped that one day Sierra would finally get the hint. Oh she knew that she was behind a mere crush on Sierra. She figured out that she was in love with her just a few weeks ago when Sierra left the hospital after a particular bad beating. She had lost consciousness and Skye had snapped at the doctor when he refused to let her in to see her. She had shouted that she loved her and the doctor finally let her in.

She didn't like thinking about Sierra lying in that bed hooked up to all different kinds of machines. She shook her head and got out of bed. She pulled out the clothes she planned to wear for the day and made her way into the bathroom to take a shower.

When she got out Sierra was rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she blinked slowly at Skye as exited the bathroom. She watched as Sierra headed into the bathroom and shortly after the shower started running.

She got dressed into a pair of skinny jeans that she had gotten from Sierra one year and a short sleeve shirt. She then made her way downstairs where the three clones were already waiting.

They helped her make breakfast for the five of them. It was sure to be a busy day but what she didn't know was that out is space right now was a single Star Destroyer already over three quarters of the way there. In fact it would be there today.

Sierra was the last to join them and she groggily set about setting the table.

Skye glanced at her and poured a thermos of coffee. She then gently pressed it into Sierra's hands and watched as the girl took a sip of it. Her eyes closed and she gave a satisfied hum.

Skye looked at the Cody, Rex and Coric. "Never come between her and her coffee." She then out the food on the table and they all ate in silence.

After they all finished eating, they swiftly set to cleaning the table. Skye grabbed her coat and threw Sierra's at her before grabbing her keys.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They got back just after 3:00 in the afternoon. Rex, Cody and Coric now all had clothes that would help them blend in better and keep them warm with all the snow.

Sierra set about learning how to use and maintain her rifle with Rex. Cody and Coric set about cleaning their own blasters. Skye sat down by Sierra and watched them. She figured it might come in handy later.

Anakin was on board the Twilight making sure it was ready to go. He glanced at his Padawan and saw that in her eyes she felt it too. Something that would change the Jedi forever was coming. And soon. He paused in his work when his wrist com began to beep. "Skywalker here."

The voice of Admiral Yularen came through it. "General your need on the bridge. Bring the Senator along with you."

"Alright I'll be right there." He said before turning to Ahsoka. "Come on Snips. Let's go grab Padme then head up to the bridge." He turned and walked out of the Twilight.

Master and Padawan headed down the halls of the Resolute. They made their way towhere Padme Amidalawas staying while they made their way to the unknown planet.

Anakin gently knocked on the door. And the door opens to reveal his secrets wife, Padme Amidala. "Yes Master Skywalker?" She asked him.

"We are needed on the bridge and were told to bring you with us."

"I see. Well lead on Master Jedi." She said as she stepped out from her room. She walked with Anakin and Ahsoka. She wasn't sure she'd ever get used to being on a warship. Everywhere they went the clones clad in armor passed them as they traveled to the bridge.

As soon as they made it to the bridge they found Yularen and Obi-Wan waiting on them. The admiral turned around from the front of the bridge and walked over to join them. "General Skywalker, Senator Amidala. We will be coming out of hyperspace in just a few minutes. We figured we would come out early since we have nothing about this planet or the system."

"Very good Admiral." Anakin said as he crossed his arms behind his back.

They simply stayed on the bridge and waited as the ship approached its destination.

"What do you think the planet will be like or the people?" Ahsoka asked to no one in particular.

"I don't know Ahsoka. But I'm willing to bet that's is different from all the other known planets."

"Once we are out of hyperspace we should try to make contact with our men." Obi-Wan told them. Anakin only replied with a nod.

It didn't take long for them to come out of hyperspace. They felt the ship give a shudder as it came out yesterday a grey moon covered in craters. The crew immediately set to scanning the entire area. Moon and the planet they could see just beyond it.

"It's looks kinda like Naboo." Ahsoka said aloud. Her baby blue eyes taking in the planet. She could see green and blue with white clouds swirling in the atmosphere. The white areas of what must be snow to the reds of the desert.

Anakin agreed. But they were all astonished by the clear diversity of its climates.

Anakin shook himself free from the the sight that lay before him. "Admiral. Do a scan of the planet and see how close you can get us without them noticing."

Yularen nodded. He called them over shortly afterwards. "The readings for life is off the charts. But I'm not picking up any sort of orbital defenses. There's not even any on the surface."

"That's odd." Obi-Wan stroked his beard. "Well let's make contact with them, then head down to the surface."

They made their way to the holotable and punched in a few commands.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cody looked down at his utility belt when he heard the sound a beeping holocaster. He could see Coric and Rex come over to where he was sitting. He glanced at everyone and pulled out the caster.

It lit up with a hologram of Obi-Wan and Anakin. "Generals." He greeted as he stood up.

"At ease Cody. We are out above the planet. We need your location so we can one pick you up."

"Yes, sir. Sending our coordinates now. We will await your arrival." He watched as the holo faded out before looking to the others. "Well looks like they'll be here any moment. Let's make sure everything is ready to go."

Sierra went to hand back her rifle but Rex stopped her. He shook his head and gently pushed back to her.

She watched them go back into the garage where all the supplies are before turning to Skye. "We can help them."

"Besides by going with them since that's what your thinking." Skye raised a brow at the shorter girl. She got a sheepish smile in response.

"We show them some of the things that have already happened. Then we go with them to stop that Force forsaken order from ever happening."
