Sorry for the long wait, but after this, I'm going for the big arc! Also, the writing for the ending part of this will seem rushed, I was starting to lose interest in this arc or episode and had to finish this.
Thank you all for the favs, follows and reviews.
I own nothing.
Clone Rescue (3)
Clara sat in her flat, waiting for Ahsoka. She was off helping Jenny with some more training and no doubt on an adventure with Jenny and The Doctor. She didn't mind, she needed a little break after meeting other versions of The Doctor and saving Gallifrey. The Doctor pouted a bit at that once she told him but he understood. But she was itching to go somewhere soon.
Just sitting or standing around being normal wasn't part of Clara Oswald's daily routine anymore. The adventure and awe of traveling with The Doctor was the most amazing thing she has ever done. And it made her think of all the things she would've done with her mum. And they would place all the mementos in their book. And she kept her promise and done it. But put stuff that was safe and cleared by The Doctor and Jenny, just in case if it was dangerous or not.
They couldn't have that.
She had voiced her thoughts about not sitting idling to Martha and the others she had come into contact with who had traveled with The Doctor. Which was thanks to UNIT, Torchwood or Sarah Jane Smith.
Interesting enough, they were planning a reunion of people who traveled with The Doctor, and of course she was invited along with Ahsoka and anyone else The Doctor had invited. Jack had joked she was the guest of honor, due to her being a recent companion and also she was still traveling with The Doctor and Jenny.
It was a clear fact that The Doctor and Jenny were invited, no doubts about that.
She was considering reading one of her favorite books, Summer Falls, by Amelia Williams, or Amelia Pond, it was a nice story but the afterword, it was quite beautiful and heartfelt, and she had always wondered who she was talking to, but the rest was kinda odd. It sounded like something out of her adventures with The Doctor but she had placed it to imaginative musings.
It wasn't until she started traveling with The Doctor and Jenny that she found out, that it was written from a previous companion of theirs, who was also the one before her. The Doctor didn't tell her, he would close off sometimes when she asked about a certain person he knew.
Jenny had told her privately, it was hard for her and she had cried with Clara holding her. She couldn't comprehend what the both of them went through. The Doctor was strong but he was hurting inside, but he knew and she knew that he had people who cared about him. She was sorta frightened on what will happen if that all turned into bitterness and anger and who knows what else after that. And also considering Star Wars was real, the problem was much more bigger.
She was just about to get the Summer Falls book when she heard the sounds of the TARDIS. She grinned and walked out of her bedroom and found the TARDIS in the living room. She fixed her skirt and opened the door and walked inside. She felt the TARDIS in her mind, saying hello.
The Doctor was busy typing in something into the TARDIS, while Jenny went over to give her a hug.
"Clara! How are you?" Jenny said.
Clara smiled and said," Just fine even though I saw you on a couple of days ago on Friday, had some time to myself and some break from teaching, holidays are coming soon."
"Right, what was the reason again?"
"National holiday, Ahsoka and I are going back on Monday. Where is she anyway?"
"She's showing someone where the clothing room is." The Doctor said.
Clara lifted an eyebrow and said," Really? Who's now traveling with us now?"
"That would be me." A voice said.
Clara looked to where the hallway was and saw a Republic Clone Trooper. She knew that they were all the same, except for their personalities and how they changed their appearance. But he looked different out of his uniform. He wore the white combat boots, blue jeans, with the middle front where the knee caps started was torn. He also wore a red and black flannel with a black shirt under it, and a he had his armor that went to his elbow, and gloves on.
His hair was the same military style cut and he had a couple of tattoo's on his face. But she did notice the shirt he was wearing was loose fitting but still clung to his chest and stomach, which lead her imagination to wander a bit. But she got out of it.
He smirked and said," Well, if I would've known I would be traveling with a pretty face, then I would've signed up sooner."
Clara crossed her arms and raised a brow and said," I'm more than just a pretty face, soldier boy."
He chuckled and it made Clara feel something she couldn't place.
"So you're this Clara Oswald these lot told me about. Names Hevy." Hevy said and went over to shake her hand.
"Pleasure." Clara said with a smile.
"Well, now we're acquainted, shall we head to our destination?" The Doctor excitedly said.
Clara smirked and said," Lead the way, Bowtie Man."
The Doctor nodded and pulled the switch and the TARDIS went into flight. Clara hung onto the railing out of habit, even though the flight was smoother. Ahsoka was near her and went over to her, she had a sly look and Clara didn't know what she was getting at.
"I think he likes you." Ahsoka whispered.
Clara blushed slightly and whispered, No, that's absurd."
Ahsoka rolled her eyes and said," I can sense your feelings, and you like him as well."
Clara's blush deepened a little and whispered," I barely met him, shut up."
Ahsoka giggled and Clara wanted to crawl into a hole or slap that smile off of Ahsoka's face.
The TARDIS soon stopped and The Doctor abandoned his place at the controls and strolled to the doors, but stopped.
"Ooo, where are my manners, Hevy, do you want to open it up?" The Doctor said.
Hevy shrugged and said," Sure why not."
He walked over to the door but was close enough to Clara and Ahsoka.
"He's sorta weird, don't you think?" He said with grin and walked off.
Clara bit her lip, trying not to laugh, she would've, but she didn't want to give Ahsoka the satisfaction, nor the ammo to use against her.
Hevy opened the door and peered out, but a second later, he slammed the door shut. He had a look of shock and then it went to determination and a little anger.
"Hevy, what's wrong?" Jenny asked.
"I need to get my blaster." Hevy said and ran off to the hallway.
The Doctor scratched his head and said," Now what would've made him jump like that when he looked out?"
"I think looking outside, will explain it dad." Jenny said.
The Doctor slapped his forehead and said," Right, right, I knew that. Get T.J out here, just in case."
The Doctor went to the door and poked his head out, and then zipped back in and shut the door, and had his back against it. He had shocked look and said.
"Huh, now I see why he closed it." He muttered.
"Dad, what's out there?" Jenny asked, starting to get more worried.
"I think we have stumbled onto a Separatist ship." The Doctor simply said.
"Wait, if we're on a separatist ship, then why aren't we hearing any banging, explosion or laser fire?" Ahsoka pointed out.
"Doctor, Master Jenny said you needed me for something?" T.J said as he walked in, with Hevy behind him.
"Nearly shot it's head off, so why isn't this thing moving?" Hevy asked.
The Doctor waved him off and said," Never mind that, T.J go outside and scan the area. I think we may have found something."
"Would I be considered, cannon fodder?" T.J asked.
"Of course not, just go."
T.J looked over at Jenny and said," The probability of us being on a crashed ship is high. And all personnel are offline or destroyed. I also believe the probability of your father being scared to go out is high." T.J said the last part to Jenny.
The Doctor scowled and T.J went to the door while the others chuckled. T.J opened the door and peered out and then looked back in and said.
"My advanced sensors indicate that all power is shutoff and all nearby personal are offline. It is safe to come out."
"I'll take point." Hevy said, with the blaster in tow.
"Let T.J, he probably knows the ins and outs of the ship." Jenny suggested.
Hevy glared at the droid and said," Don't cross us."
T.J tilted his head and switched his hands into his blasters and walked out. Everyone then walked out after him. The hallway was slightly dark but emergency lights were on but everyone else was offline. There were a couple of strewn Battle Droids here and there that were either damaged or intact, but offline. There was a couple of sparkling wires, but nothing too dangerous.
"Well, if the emergency lights are on, then this happened recently. Wonder what happened?" Jenny said.
"Wait if the ship is destroyed, wouldn't the air be gone?" Clara asked, thinking they were in space.
"True but the gravity would be turned off. Emergency power can do so much, Clara." The Doctor said.
"There's a terminal there. We can find out where we are." Ahsoka said.
"I got it." Jenny said.
Jenny went over to the port and got to work with connecting it to her Sonic. The screen appeared and she typed in a couple of commands. A few seconds later, a holographic display shown.
"Huh, impressive." Hevy said.
"Alright, here is what this ship was doing before it crashed. Apparently they were transporting some very important cargo to Separatist controlled space. A group of Republic ships intercepted and fired upon them. The Captain made a random Hyperspace jump and crash landed the ship once they went back to normal speed. And the logs date this a few weeks ago."
"I think we have stumbled onto some treasure then. Ooo, how exciting! Where is it located?" The Doctor said.
"Hold on… there, it's located in a vault nearby. Won't be an issue. Just keep on going straight, take a left, then right and you'll see it." Jenny said.
Everyone followed Jenny's directions, a couple of the corridors weren't lit so Ahsoka had to light her Lightsabers to lead the way. Once in a while, the sounds of the ship moaning were heard, which made everyone a little on edge. There were no signs of fire anywhere so they all had to assume it had died out.
Jenny soon stopped, she could sense something, but it was pretty faint, and it was someone's life signature.
"Ahsoka, do you feel that?"
"Yeah, it's very faint, I think it's coming from the vault."
"What is it, exactly?" Clara asked.
"Well, considering it has a Force Signature, I assume it's organic or something." Jenny said.
"Maybe it's a prisoner of sorts?" Clara said.
"The Seppie's aren't that much into Prisoners, it's very rare. But, it's a possibility." Ahsoka said.
"Then it has to be someone very important then." Clara realized.
Hevy smirked and said," Nice thinking there, Oswald."
Clara blushed slightly, Ahsoka noticed and stifled a giggle, while the Time Traveling aliens, and the android didn't notice. They started to walk again and then soon found themselves in front of the doors to the vault. There were two offline Super Battle Droids lying in a heap, Hevy then kicked both of them, just in case.
"So, how do we get in?" Hevy asked.
The Doctor walked over to the console and examined it with his Sonic. After he was done, he checked the results and hummed.
"Well, we can open it manually, but what I can tell, it would take to long. Codes, finding the Manual Override without turning on the whole ship. The reason for that is there's a possibility of droids in charge mode, and once we turn the ship on, they will go online." The Doctor explained.
"Then what's the second option?" Clara asked.
"Jenny, Ahsoka, you know what to do." The Doctor said.
"Right, Doctor, Jenny, remember what I taught you." Ahsoka said.
Jenny nodded, they had trained with how to cut through things with a Lightsaber. Mainly they would go to a planet to do it, The Doctor forbid them from using stuff from the TARDIS, even though they would never cut through the TARDIS. The Doctor had told them that he knew, but he had a lot of valuable stuff in the TARDIS and he didn't want anything damaged.
Jenny knew for a fact that he would push it to the side and say he would get back to it, but, it usually involved him forgetting it later. And also her reminding him, it was sorta like a routine with them.
"You take left, I'll take right." Ahsoka said.
Jenny nodded, they both got to their positions and activated their Lightsabers. They then plunged them into the door and started to create a circle. It took 5 minutes and they soon had to Force Push it inside.
They then went inside and held a defensive stand and looked around. There were only a few containers here and there, some Commando Droids and Super Battle Droids that were out of commission. But, what caught their eye was that a tube or container of sorts that looked human sized.
"You guys can come in now, it's safe." Jenny called.
The others walked in and had a look around. And they then saw what Jenny and Ahsoka saw earlier. The Doctor walked closer and inspected it with the Sonic and looked at the results again.
"Well it's a person in there and a man. Can't seem to find anything of importance with his DNA… wait, I believe this is a replication of someone else's."
"Who's is it's?" Ahsoka asked.
"Hush, thinking and figuring out." The Doctor silenced her.
"Oh boy." Jenny muttered.
The Doctor had a look of realization and then looked at Hevy, he then soniced him and looked at the results.
"Just as I thought, I believe there's a clone in there." The Doctor concluded.
"Wait, so one of my brothers is in there?" Hevy said.
"Yep, don't know why but we'll have to ask him ourselves. And all it takes is by doing… this!" The Doctor dramatically said and soniced the cryo-tube.
"Seriously? Always with the dramatics?" Clara said and shook her head in amusement.
"Its how I roll, right, Jen?" The Doctor said.
Jenny giggled and said," Right dad, sure."
The Cryo-Tube started to whirr, and smoke or steam came out. A second then passed before the tube opened up, and everyone saw a clone unconscious in there. Ahsoka's eyes widened, knowing who it was.
"Kix?" Ahsoka whispered.
"You know him?" Clara asked.
"Yeah, he's a Medic in the 501st, last I heard, he went missing, everyone assumed he deserted but found out he was kidnapped by the Separatists, for reasons unknown." Ahsoka said.
"Well, let's see if he's ok, we may have to be careful when he get him to the TARDIS." Jenny said.
Jenny got closer and was about to check his pulse, but Kix's eyes' shot open and shot up. Jenny yelped and everyone jumped in fright.
"What! Need to stop! Sep- kidnapped! Chips- Order!" He yelled with wide eyes and started to hyper-ventilate.
Ahsoka held her chest for a second and then relaxed enough to camly put a hand on Kix's shoulder.
"Kix, calm down. Breath, it's me, Ahsoka. Your safe, your ok." She said.
"Commander Tano?" Kix said, wide eyed.
"Breath, calm your mind and relax." Ahsoka instructed.
Kix did that and then started to calm down, his breathing went back to normal and he started to relax. He rubbed his head and blinked a couple of times.
"Karabast, last thing I remembered was being interrogated and then nothing. What happened?" Kix asked.
In the bridge of the ship, the ships Captain, a B1 Battle Droid sat in the Captain's Chair offline, due to the ship only crashing a couple of weeks ago, there were still sparks of power coming on throughout the ship and turning off. Another surge went through the Bridge, a couple of droids would jump due to activity or limbs would flex, but this time the Commander rebooted but had some glitches. It got up and looked around and noticed one of the consoles.
"What t-he, the… been c-ompromised. Activating… Self-destru-… and Securi-ty." It said.
It flinched and pressed a couple of commands on a nearby console. It then shook, went limp and fell to the ground.
Back at the vault, Ahsoka and Jenny were helping Kix out of the pod, when alarms started to go off and a automated voice came on.
"Self-destruct in ten minutes. Security Protocol 45-8B is in effect."
"T.J, what's Protocol 45-8B?" Jenny asked.
"Ship is being boarded, overrun or compromised. All available Security Personnel head to designated location. Self-destruct when something of importance is in danger of being taken."
"I feel so important." Kix sarcastically said, he then realized who said that." Wait, what's a droid-"
"No time, we gotta move!" Ahsoka said.
"Need help?" Hevy asked Kix.
"No, I can walk on my own… what's with the getup?" Kix asked confused, wondering why a clone was out of uniform and was wearing civilian clothes.
Hevy looked at himself and said," They wanted me to change clothes, no longer in the Army… long story."
Kix nodded, and decided to ask later. The group ran out of the room and was about to turn left when they spotted intact Super Battle Droids heading towards them from the hallway in front of them.
"Stop." The lead one said.
"Dad, you and the others go on ahead, Ahsoka, Hevy and I will take care of them." Jenny said.
The Doctor groaned and said," Can't you just do some pushy, pushy stuff with the Force?"
Both her and Ahsoka looked at each other, they shrugged and did just that. A couple of the droids flew to the ground, while a couple still stood, and started to fire. Everyone ran, while Ahsoka deflected some blaster bolts.
"Self-Destruct in 5 minutes."
"I love it when the danger is high and on a limited time frame! It adds more fun!" The Doctor said.
"What is wrong with you?" Hevy asked.
The TARDIS came into view and Jenny was the first one to make it, she unlocked the doors, opened them and ran inside, along with everyone else. The Doctor closed the doors before a couple of Blaster Bolts hit the doors.
Jenny typed on the Console and pulled the lever when she was done. The TARDIS disappeared and the Separatists ship soon exploded in a massive fireball of steel.
The Doctor and Jenny walked back to the TARDIS, Kix was getting acquainted with Kate and UNIT. After they had save him, they had asked Kix what had happened and after that, they told him and Hevy what they knew. After removing their chips, The Doctor had decided to leave Kix with UNIT for the time being. He was going to be a Medic for them until further notice. They had already dropped off Clara and Ahsoka, while Hevy got his room, and they would soon be busy with figuring out how to deactivate Order 66 throughout all the clones. With the bio-chips they now had, they could easily come up with kill code to stop it.
Kate at first wasn't happy about the arrangement and said no. But, The Doctor had convinced her, and she had also owed him a favor as well, so after that, she said yes.
"So, things are starting to get interesting, huh dad?" Jenny said.
The Doctor sighed and said," Yep, I'm getting too old for this sort of stuff. Just another possible Universe apostrophe that's been placed on our laps."
Jenny held his hand and said," You have me, and everyone else. Your not alone, and no worries, we'll get through this, together."
The Doctor smiled at her and said," I don't deserve having a daughter like you."
"But I'm here. And for what's going to happen soon... May the Force be with us all."
The both of them walked into the TARDIS and closed the doors.
