I squeezed past the single file line of a mix of nervous and courageous Jedi until I reached the front, Shaak Ti went the other way, to the back. Once at the front I silently gestured to walk forwards, though silently, so we didn't attract the attention of any bloodthirsty Clones above. We were walking for ten minutes, undisturbed, although many of the more unexperienced Jedi were making clumsy noises and started talking, there were no signs that there was going to be any trouble approaching. That's what we thought, until there were small noises heard up ahead, the noises probably wouldn't be picked up normally, but my Jedi instincts helped me hear the upcoming noise.

'Shh!' I hissed, and all the chatter stopped. Just like that, I pressed my hand to my ear, and heard quiet talking, slowly getting louder, it was pitch black up ahead, but I could still hear the voices.

'I still can't believe we found this place.' Came the unmistakable voice of a Clone Trooper.

'Neither can I, no doubt a few Jedi escaped through this place.' Came another Clone voice, slightly different.

'We don't know that any Jedi escaped through this place,' Said another slightly different Clone voice, belonging to a Sergeant by the sound of things. 'We don't where it leads, it could be a trap, a dead-end.'

'Why didn't we tell Lord Vader about this, Sir?' Came voice one.

'Like I said, if we told him about it, he'll go down this passage, and if it was a dead end, he would come back up and kill us, remember what happened to Glider?' Said the Sergeant.

'Didn't Lord Vader kill him for just saying they would get slaughtered if they went in there?' Voice two spoke.

'Must've been a fault in his genetics, the Kaminoans might have just twitched on a lever or something, held a bit too much respect for the Jedi Order.' The Sergeant informed his inferiors.

'I think there was a fault in Jaxon's genetics too!' Laughed voice two.

'Shut up, Bulldog!' Voice one retaliated, and the sound of armour against stone was heard.

Nice to know a few Clones kept their sense of humour after this betrayal.

'Oi! Keep quiet you two, if there is Jedi down this pathway they'll be able to know you're coming!' The Sergeant ordered.

'Sorry sir.' Said voice one.

'Sorry sir.' Said voice two.

Although now the voices had stopped, footsteps could be heard getting louder too.

They weren't that close.

Now a bit close.

Now slightly closer.

Now they're close.

They're quite close.

They're even closer.

Now they're very close.

Now they're extremely close!

'Wait a minute I think I see something.' Said the Sergeant, his armour clanking together as he moved, his footsteps really loud now.

I could see the Sergeant's helmet poke through the darkness.

'Wait! It's the Jedi!' The Sergeant screamed, I ignited my lightsaber as he fired twice, I deflected both shots, both rebounded towards their firer, one hit off the Sergeant's left shoulder, causing him to stumble back and place a lot of weight on his left leg, the other hit him in the chest, causing him to propel backwards, clearing the way for his brothers.

'Arghh! Blast him!' Said voice one whilst firing, which belonged to the Clone in the front.

I used to Force to pull him towards me and left my lightsaber pointing forward for him to be pulled into it, his body repulsed outwards in reaction, but then went limp, I pushed the Clone off the lightsaber and only voice two's owner was left, he screamed and ran back down the passage, heading back to his leader to report our whereabouts, he didn't go far, I threw my lightsaber in his direction and it hit him in the back, he let out one final scream and fell to the floor. The lightsaber raised itself out the Trooper's back and flew into my hand and deactivated itself, I attached the lightsaber back to my belt and continued forward with the rest of my assigned group. We never met any more difficulties along the way, and the passage ended at a "dead end" but the obstacle removed itself and the group found itself in the East Wing of the Jedi Temple. I walked up into a corridor, closely followed by my group, we approached a junction in the maze of corridor's, I decided to take a left onto the East Platform, where Parken Drei dropped me off earlier. As I turned the corner I saw several Clones walk onto the platform through the entrance, I quickly turned back and hid against the wall, before looking round the corner again and, seeing no Clones, I risked it and got the convoy across the other side of the entrance. I looked back to notice that one of the young Padawans was missing, I looked out onto the platform and that very Padawan running out to face the Clones, he jumped a few of them, the Clones started firing at him, he deflected most shots, but one unfortunately hit him, and he collapsed to the floor, I caught a glimpse of Bail Organa wailing at the Clones, then speeding off in his luxury PL-90 Luxury Speeder.

'Blast!' I moaned, as the recklessness and inexperience of this young Palawan cost him his life. I was aiming to clear the Platform anyway, but that death could have been averted. I called over Shaak Ti and explained my plan to her, she nodded in approval and detached her lightsaber from it's holster, as did I, I selected a few experienced Knights to help me on this task, because, as recent events had just shown, experience was key, and speed was key.

Me, Shaak Ti and the three Knights moved in a horizontal line stretching to cover the width of the Platform, we ambushed the Clones and almost instantly gained territory back from the Clones. Shaak Ti had given the leader of each group a small device that had a button on that, when pressed, would send out a micro-communication wave across a communication stream, that had been reserved to only Shaak Ti, her "good friend" waiting for us and every Jedi Master who'd she'd given one too, I didn't get one, as she already had one, and she was in the group so why bother? When pressed the device will reveal the location of it's holder to everyone on the comms stream, that's how Shaak Ti co-ordinated the groups, when the button was pressed, she would let another group go, so as not to get tangled up with each other. She pressed the button on her device, now we had to play the waiting game. It didn't take long for Shaak Ti's contact to arrive, he landed on the platform with a Speeder Bus, opening the door and hastily saying, 'Get in!' Me and Shaak Ti watched everyone inside, before we entered ourselves. The bus driver drove quickly, and nervously, swerving drastically at the most minor of occurrences.

'So you're the last group?' The bus driver asked.

'Yes.' Shaak Ti confirmed.

'Fantastic,' The bus driver began. 'You know, my bus had to shake off a military escort! Just as your lot got in the vehicle Clone Troopers appeared next to the bus and asked who I was trafficking! I said I was waiting for someone, then they told me to leave the perimeter immediately, so for the next ten minutes I was trying to lose a Republic Gunship that was following me! I even had to fly near the Underworld to get rid of it! That wasn't in the bargain Togruta!'

I turned to Shaak Ti. 'Nice friend.'

'I said that just to convince you.' Shaak Ti smiled.

The bus was descending down into a hanger, and it landed abruptly on the ground. The bus doors opened and we got out, walking towards a group of hundreds of Jedi, waiting for their transport to be prepared for flight, I heard the bus driver complaining to his workmates.

'Remind me to stay off work for the next week.' He groaned.

I joined the group and sat down, looking to the future and what lay ahead...
