Captain Rex
The horror. The pain. The agony. It's almost too much for this poor Captain. Who'd ever think that I'd almost be brought down by a measly bolt to the leg? Just awesome! Great example! But I can't alert my team, they've just escaped after a thrilling encounter with Tarkin and they are pumped up. I'm slowly making my way to where the med kit is. I can treat myself, but unfortunately I'm caught dead in the act by a soldier.
"The captain has been hit!" he said and alerted every single one of the twenty soldiers. Just great. Soon everyone is rushing to me and I'm suffocating. I don't want to shout out loud and make the men around me retreat with fear. They'll be worried now… fear worry….fearry? Yeah they'll be 'fearry' if I shout at them. The swarming only lasts for some time and someone ties up my wound. All this big deal just because I'm a lousy captain. Anyway, this'll be the perfect opportunity to get to learn these guys. First, I ask the guy who's tying up my wound, "Soldier, what's your name?"
"Maxy, sir"
I nod and turn to the soldier who had alerted everyone that I was hit. "And yours?"
"Kenys" he pronounced it like kin-ice
I raise an eyebrow and ask, "That's a strange name. Any particular reason?"
"Yes, sir. It's a variation of 'Keen eyes', for those I have and can spot a droid gunship a mile away.
"Wow" I nod again. Maxy must've been feeling jealous because I didn't compliment him and says, "And I can heal anyone within that one mile"
"That's awesome" I say. Fortunately, the jealous and rude Maxy didn't catch my half-heartedness. I don't mean to mark him as a bad soldier because he does have talents and sometimes rudeness and jealousy come involuntarily no matter how much you train. So I won't judge him now, and neither will I judge the other eighteen soldiers right now. Actually, seventeen. I already know Marty. Coming to think of him, I still haven't thanked him. But thanking him would show my outright affection towards him on the spot which is equal to nineteen mad and jealous soldiers. So I'll get to the 'thank you so much' later and get on to the real matters at hand.
"Soldiers! You've joined my hand against the evil Chancellor and so I thank you" there's no reason I shouldn't thank the whole group, "But escaping from one of his 'minions', so to say, isn't the end" I know I'm messing with their happiness but it ain't going to last forever, so better now than later, when they'll be almost drunk in their happiness, "In fact, it's only the beginning. By joining hands with me, I'm afraid you've marked yourself as a traitor and an outcast and will be hunted by the Republic-" A young soldier with spiky hair interrupts me. "Why weren't we told this earlier?"
Okay. C'mon Rex. Keep calm. Don't go raging bull on him. Keeping my anger in check I ask him, "What's your name soldier?"
"Phantom" A/N: This one is for you PhantomXWolf! Hope you're reading this!
"So…Phantom….if you'd known that you'd be an outcast…would you have stayed?" I'm going in slow…
"Sir…you wouldn't understand…."
"Understand what?! You have nothing. Nothing to stay for. You take everything you care about with you." I see him flinch with uncertainty. Oh…my…it cannot be…the last soldier who was accused of this and admitted it was executed. Still let me hope it isn't true, "What? Did you leave anything back? Your teddy bear?"
I hear a few chuckles but those are stooped right in their tracks by a glare from me. Yep, that's me. An angry raging and glaring bull. Exactly what I swore I wouldn't be when that giant caterpillar landed on me.
"No sir…um…" he blushed. Yep, he just crossed off any chance of the reason for why he would stay back was something else. He had a crush, worse, he was in love. I'm kind sometimes and I'm gonna save this kid from utter embarrassment. Our eyes meet and he understands that I know, I ask him, "So you're staying?" his eyes flood with relief and he salutes me with a 'Sir, yes, sir'
"Good, good. And everyone- no 'sir' business around here. As I've just said-we are outcasts. There is no need for any extra degree of formality. We are all equals and you will speak to me by my name as I will all of you. Is that clear?"
"Yes Rex"
"Now…my plan"

3rd person
Ahsoka cleared the branches around her and a clear sight was in view. She was finally out of the forest. She could spot smoke coming from a building on the horizon. It was still a long journey. Though she was tired after a long walk through the forest, a boost of adrenaline pushed her forward as did the fact that the journey was almost over.

Sweating and panting Ahsoka stopped to catch her breath. She had come across no transport of any sight, no sign of human activity on her way to the building. Slowly and surely, all the possibilities drifted towards the Separatists annexing the planet. She hid behind a rock a hundred meters away from the building. Ahsoka realized that it was a fort, three stories high. Keeping guard were droids, three on the terrace, three on the second story. Resting her back on the handy rock, Ahsoka made sure she had everything she needed. Her light saber, obviously. Her blaster, just in case. Her walkie-talkie. That'd be useless so she left it behind and creeped out of her hiding place. She was quickly spotted by a droid. The droid whined, "WHO GOES THERE?"
Ahsoka smiled. She took out her light saber and extended it. "Just an ex-Jedi who wants to destroy you" The six droids on watch were no match for Ahsoka. Within seconds they all lay in heaps of metal. She accidently crunched one that fell in front of her "I'm sorry. I didn't mean you any harm" Ahsoka said. With a very agile leap, Ahsoka made it to the first story. The fort was small, and that was the whole mystery for Ahsoka. Surely, Dooku wouldn't keep forts with such meagre security on a captured planet.
She peeked through the window and to her utmost surprise saw with her own eyes…..

Tarkin, in the flesh talking with Chancellor Palpatine, also in the flesh

Shock took me at once. I hid myself from the window and shook my head. I always felt that Tarkin was against the Jedi, especially when he influenced the Council so much to exile me…but even the Chancellor? Well life is full of surprises, they must be Dooku's spies. Both of them are talking freely and I listen carefully to their conversation.

"Chancellor Palpatine, what do you suppose we do now?"
"Well yes, the situation is tricky but not to a high extent, I'm sure we can keep a hold on Kashyyyk without the Jedi knowing."

No doubt at all. Kashyyyk belongs to the Separatists. Tarkin and the Chancellor are evil.

"That's not the whole problem Chancellor, the Clone Wars have been waging incessantly with no side gaining too much ground."
"Don't worry, Tarkin" he pointed something on the table that I couldn't quite see, "This Jedi has vexed us a lot, but not anymore, he is slowly gaining anger and rage, he will be one of my pawns soon enough"

I shudder. I wouldn't want to be that Jedi. I debate whether I should leap through the window and take a glance at the picture of whatever Jedi it is. Soon enough, I decide against it. I still haven't solved the low security mystery...there's a gateway below. I rest my legs on the first story barrier and bend downwards, i.e., if there was support below I'd be standing on my head. But instead I make a very unsubtle hole into the gate and to my surprise I see a thousand droids all staring at me. I'd love to stay and chat with Anakin and tell him that he's being deceived but there's no time. I jump off and look around for a ship that can take me away. I curse for there's only one inside the gate, which means defeating hundred droids. Even for an ex-Jedi, trust me, not my usual day. I'd do anything not to have to face those filthy droids, but if I want to, I gotta make a different plan fast. The gate is opening and I've just dodged one bolt. I make my way as fast as I can to the back of the building, where six guards are on watch. I defeat them easily and make a hole. It's not deep enough and I'm still staring flat cement. I drill deeper with my light saber and I finally break through. I jump through, jump into the ship just as the droids turn towards me. The ship looks awesome, but every ship has its breaking point. A thousand bolts aimed right at the ship, resulted in quite a few emergency alerts inside the pilot room. Pilot room? That's the only damned room! Fortunately, I can still move and I do so and blast away.

As soon as I'm sure I'm a safe distance away...I curse myself. I could have seen that picture. It could have been someone I know. Anakin, Plo-Koon…I just don't know. My acrobatic skills may have saved me but my thinking skills well...don't ask. What really hurts me is my stupidness in not even making sure that my friends were not in trouble... the Chancellor and Tarkin are only two men….I could have easily defeated them. I can't turn back now.

Coming to the present, after the droids hit my ship, I lost the hyperspace drive. And yes, I don't know how to fix it. Looks like I'll either have to stay in space for forever or land for forever also unless I join hands with the Separatists or the Republic frees it. I would love to land and give myself another chance to alert Anakin but you know what? Let me stay in space. Call me crazy or whatever you like but I have a good feeling about this.

Marty

So Rex's been keeping us busy. I'm clearly the best pilot around and Rex has asked me to go to a cryptic location, 'Go to the bird's eye for resurrection' I mean like who needs resurrection and where the heck is this bird's eye. I really yearn to leave the cockpit and go ask him where I'm really supposed to go but the captain's locked himself in a room. I decide to go to a place that's familiar yet foreign. I'm not blind and I know that across the galaxy we'll be hunted. In fact, now that I think of it, we won't be rivals for everyone, what if there are other outcasts? Others who are good and just and yet have been exiled? Others who are powerful, tough and kind and would be willing to join with us? Join with us for what? What purpose do we serve floating in space? Are we just going to be forgotten? Because if that's so I might just leave now. Because if life is for anything, it's to be remembered.

"MARTY?!"

I'm certainly startled. I turn around in surprise to see the Captain. Turns out that I'd dozed off with my philosophical thoughts.

"What's wrong Cap-" I stopped and started again undoing my mistake, "What's wrong, Rex?" It's really tough treating Rex like my equal. He's so bold and awesome, there's no one who manages to come close to him. But whenever I try to address the Captain by his more than deserved seniority he gives me devious glares. He's been giving those out to everyone if they also go by calling him 'Captain' or even if someone's been misbehaving. Those killer glares are his signature moves.

"Everything Marty"

"What do you mean?" I say. How can everything be wrong? Perhaps Rex has been thinking the same stuff I've been. He's realized that we're serving no purpose. Serving no greater good.

Rex sighed, "Look Marty first of all I haven't thanked you enough for getting us out of that mess with Tarkin"

"Well now you are" I try to come up with my best smile but for some reason it seems forged and fades away.

"That's beside the point. The main thing is- I can't trust anyone"

"What do you mean?" I've just repeated the same sentence I said seconds ago. Rex doesn't notice thankfully.

"You know Tarkin? I knew him once, back in my early days, young, bold, fearless, now? He's been played with by the Chancellor and he's changed. Nothing exterior, but interior, he's like popped. Everything straight to his master. All of you are good men, really good men. But so was Tarkin. So was he"

I clap. I do the stupidest thing I could do in front of the Captain. He doesn't mind. That's one thing I like about him. He allows us to humor him and ourselves for he knows that things are grim. Then…lightbulb.

"Why are you confiding with me?"

Rex shrugged. "I don't know. You seem like a good guy-"

"But so did Tarkin"

"So did Tarkin…but I don't know….you just seem different" said the captain with his veteran instinct.

Wow, that's one compliment that the Captain rarely dishes out. Probably never did before now. But I've got to stay focused.

"So that's why you gave me that cryptic destination!"

"Yeah, I'd hoped that you would figure it out but it was always a tough one"

"So where are we going"

"Kashyyyk. We're going to try to get this guy back from the dead with the help of this ex-Jedi….uhhh you get the point…just get there and you'll find a ship orbiting the planet, we've got to board the ship. Explanations later"

A/N: So how did you like it? If I haven't made a character with your name in the story I apologize. There's still about fifteen more clones to fill your names with! I may end up not mentioning all of you as my OC's, but I hope you understand. Anyway, R&R, F&F. Any new or old characters you'd like to see. Any plot ideas? Any deaths? Please tell me!

Cheers. Peace out.
