This chapter will fit into the plot of the clone wars TV show, treat it like deleted scenes, like it had always happened but you are just seeing it for the first time.
Backstory: Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, Echo, Fives, Cody and the rest of the strike team infiltrated the Citadel's outer defenses to rescue Master Piell who had the nexus route coordinates.
Fives was unfrozen from the carbonite. He fell on his knees and got up slowly. He was dizzy and sore. He looked up and saw Ahsoka arguing with Anakin. He was confused because she was not suppose to be on the mission. Once they were all unfrozen they started unloading their gear from the shuttle. Ahsoka and Fives were in the shuttle alone and she picked up a backpack. Fives lifted up a crate full of blasters and charges. "So I suppose you snuck into the carbonite freezing."
"You wouldn't mind keeping that a secret would you?"
"Not a problem, but you shouldn't have come."
"Fives, I can handle myself."
"Oh I know you can, I just don't want to get distracted on the mission." Fives said smiling at her. She smiled back at him and punched him in the shoulder jokingly and they left the shuttle. They ended up splitting up after rescuing Master Piell and his officers, later when they met back up at the shuttle a commando droid jumped onto a turret and started it up. It was going to blow up the shuttle, their only escape.
"This is our only chance! We've got to stop it!" Echo picked up and shield and ran to the shuttle shooting at the droid manning the turret. The commando droid shot the ships engines blowing it up, Echo with it. The blast knocked everyone back and Fives stood up first. "ECHO!" Fives' yell went unanswered.
"We've got to leave now!" Obi Wan ordered. Everyone turned and ran off of the platform into the caves. Fives looked at Echo's charred helmet. Ahsoka grabbed his shoulder telling him without words that they have to go. She ran along with everyone else. Fives stayed a few more moments and then turned around running with everyone else. Once they were at the caves Fives was keeping watch. Ahsoka walked up to join him. They were in a spot completely surrounded by walls except for one side so no one could see them. Fives took off his helmet and gazed into it. Ahsoka hugged him from behind, her head resting on his shoulder blades. "You know, Echo thought of the design for my helmet. He thought it would make a great tribute to Cutup." Fives started tearing up. Ahsoka closed her eyes to hold back tears herself. She was close to Echo as well but not the way Fives was. Fives sucked up the tears.
"We better keep an eye out. We don't want to get ambushed." Ahsoka could sense Fives holding back his emotions.
"Fives, you need to talk about it. You can't just bottle it all up."
"Ahsoka, now's not the time, we have to focus on getting off this rock." Fives walked off in the other direction looking through the cracks in the cave watching the droids on their STAP's fly past them. Ahsoka didn't follow. She didn't want him to get mad at her by prying at him to let out his emotions. They continued the mission without talking to each other.
